PLAY BY PLAY
Renee Paquette opens the show.
“Tonight is all about Big Business, and one of the most anticipated nights in AEW, in one of the most decorated cities in sports. Tonight, our AEW World Champion is in action, Will Ospreay is here in the house, and The Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada, along with The Young Bucks, will be inside that ring.” But then a car honks as it pulls in. A very sleek Mercedes Maybach parks, then the doors open and… Who is here in Boston? Or perhaps, it’s Boss-ton?
Mercedes Mone is here!
Boston fires up as the CEO of Wrestling is now All Elite! Mercedes swaggers her way to the ring in a literally huge coat and golden boots. Mercedes steps into the ring, the fans already chant along with “C E O! C E O!” and she soaks it all up. Mercedes gets the mic as the fans continue to chant. “Bostooooon~! I’m home.” The fans cheer and chant “Welcome Home!” Mercedes continues to say that she can feel her heart beating out of her chest! But first and foremost, she wants to say thank you. She thanks them for having her back these past two years. Thank you for giving her the courage and strength to be here.
And thank you for sticking with her through all her lows, her highs, her milestones, her titles, and her history-making moments. And trust her, they will be creating so much magic and so many moments together. Because every single one of them is the reason why Mercedes is here, so thank you. The fans again chant “C E O!” and she says she loves them. And if they only knew how much tonight means to her. How much this means to her, how much wrestling means to her. In so many ways, wrestling has saved her life. The fans cheer that, and Mercedes says wrestling has given her hopes, dreams, and legends like Eddie Guerrero gave her a place where she believed she could do this, too!
The fans cheer for Eddie, and Mercedes thanks Eddie for helping her believe in her dreams. Her dreams led a Women’s Revolution. Her dreams made her the first-ever woman to main event a PPV, in this very building! And her dreams started when she was only 10 years old. At 13, she dropped out of school to take care of her brother. She loves her brother, Joshua. Then her dreams, at 18 years old and only 90 pounds, took her to Chaotic Wrestling where she began her journey to become the greatest woman’s wrestler of all time. And she wants us to know, if she can do it, you can do it, too! The fans cheer that!
“So let’s get down to business, huh? You wanna know why I’m here? Because I need to be here. I want to be here! AEW is the only place where this revolution can be global! And we are going to make that happen. See, I’ve been watching week upon week upon week, and everybody in that locker room… Oh, I can’t wait to tear it up with every single one of y’all. But let’s start with our main event tonight: Riho VS Willow Nightingale!” Fans cheer the ladies getting the main event, and Mercedes brings up Willow and the “unfinished business” there. But for right now, here on Big Business, Mercedes Mone is All Elite!
The fans cheer as the graphic is on the tron! So to the chairman, Tony Khan, thanks so much for the tweet! To all the fans of AEW around the world, say hello to your new CEO! Mercedes takes off the suit jacket to show off her new wrestling gear. When and where will The CEO start running the division as a champion?
Backstage interview with Samoa Joe.
Renee says business is certainly picking up, and she welcomes Mercedes to AEW. But she is with the world champion, who defends his title in mere moments against Wardlow, a man Joe’s pretty familiar with. What does Joe expect tonight? Joe says tonight feels like money, huh? “And Wardlow, what doesn’t feel different is you. Once again, being sent forth by lesser men to pay for crimes that you did not commit. Or did you?” Joe did not forget the last time they were in the ring together. Joe has not forgotten the debts that need to be paid. And Wardlow, you are far overdue.
Tonight, we learn two things. One: Joe takes no quarter as Wardlow has made the biggest mistake of his life. And two: Samoa Joe owns championships in The Garden. The King of Wrestling Television is ready for war, will he shut down the Undisputed Kingdom’s War Machine?
Adam Cole speaks.
In fact, Adam Cole sits down with a book, because it’s story time. “Once upon a time, there was a man, a warrior, called Wardlow. This man for years was deceived and lied to. He was locked away and guarded by an evil man, a true devil. And the only way to free him was to become the unruly warrior he was destined to be. He slayed many beasts and adorned in gold, but something was missing. He longed for a kingdom of brethren who hated the evil man as much as he did. He soon discovered brotherhood, bound by undisputed hatred. The warrior was ready to vanquish the champion, Samoa Joe, and fulfill his destiny, presenting the prize to his king.
“With courage and purpose, he marched into war with the most dominant beast known to man. And with every ounce of strength he fought, and all of the hatred he had for the evil man was unleashed, and he heroically slayed the beast. The precious gold was captured, the prophecy fulfilled, and The Kingdom became whole. The end.” Cole has told us the story as he sees it, but will it come true? Or will Joe rewrite the ending with blood, sweat and tears?

Alex Marvez is backstage.
He notes that tonight is Big Business and that means big things, especially with the AEW Continental Crown Champion, Eddie Kingston, teaming with Penta El Zero Miedo and The Bastard, Pac, against The Elite. He sees them walking up and hopes to get a few words from them. Okada, this is a question everyone wants answered: When he signed with AEW, why did he affiliate himself with The Elite? Nicholas Jackson tells Marvez to have some respect, referring to him as just “Okada.” This is the best wrestler alive today, and you think you’re his friend or something? Show more respect, call him by his full ass name!
Look at the passport! It’s printed “The Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada!” Show more respect! Matthew has Nicholas calm down and assures Alex that he is doing a great job. We’ll circle back to Okada in a moment, but Matt can answer that first question. Why did he join up with The Elite? Can’t you feel the synergy of the three best professional athletes in the world? That is Elite, isn’t it? 14 YEARS of friendship that spans the globe. Okada helped The Bucks when they were at their lowest of lows, and they helped Okada out, too. And if you wanna get technical, there’s 14 million other reasons why, right, Rainmaker?
Okada looks into the camera to tell Penta, Pac and Eddie, “I’m coming for you. Anyway, say happy birthday to Matthew.” Oh, right, right! Happy Birthday, Matthew! Thanks. No, no, no. Sing it. Uh… Happy~ birthday~ to you~! Happy~ birthday~ to you~! AEW cuts away from Marvez being bullied into this, but will the first birthday gift for Matthew be a big win for The NEW Elite?
Six Man Tag: Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks VS Eddie Kingston, PAC & Penta El Zero Miedo!
The Rainmaker may have sold out, but part of that is still making tons of money, right? But Okada is also going after some gold with how he went right after the AEW Continental Triple Crown Champion. Will The Mad King, The Bastard and the Man with No Fear prove that money can’t buy you mercy?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone says that while there’s a lot on the horizon, like next week’s I Quit Match for the TNT Championship between Christian Cage and Adam Copeland, we also know that at AEW Dynasty, Sunday, April 21st, we have a match you will never forget! Bryan Danielson VS our guest at this time, the one and only Will Ospreay! The fans fire up as the Aerial Assassin makes his entrance! Ospreay is himself fired up to be here, and he gets the fans to chant “OSPREAY! OSPREAY!” with the music. Ospreay shakes Schiavone’s hand and Schiavone says the things Ospreay has been doing in AEW are unbelievable.
The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV! BRUV!” Schiavone says coming up at Dynasty, April 21st, is a match many fans have been looking forward to. Ospreay says yeah, he woke up today and they said, “What you wanna do?” Ospreay says, “Send Schiavone out there, I wanna go talk to the beautiful people of Boston.” The fans cheer that! Ospreay says April 21st, this match means so much to him. His entire career, all he’s wanted to do is emulate the career of Bryan Danielson. Whether it was what he did in Japan, or his enthusiasm for the independents. Whether it was 50 people, 500, or 5,000, Bryan left it in the ring for all the beautiful fans.
And Ospreay is glad to find Bryan is a fan of Ospreay’s work, because Bryan said that Ospreay’s been staring down the lens of a Japanese camera, saying that he is the best in the world. Bryan looked at Ospreay and said, “Prove it.” Ospreay wants to remind Bryan of something that he once said. After Ospreay’s match with Kenny Omega, everyone was talking about one move: The Tiger Driver 91. That’s the double underhook, lift, and then Ospreay drives his opponent right on his knockers, no regard for the body! And y’know what the most violent man in front of a TV camera said? “Was it worth it?”
Fans are a bit torn, and Ospreay says as one of the guys in that match, blood pissin’ outta his own head, and every time his heart beat, more blood came out, but also standing as the winner, Ospreay will tell Bryan now, that YEAH, BRUV, it was worth it! The fans fire up and chant “BRUV! BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay tells Bryan that while he respects Bryan, this match means a hell of a lot more to Ospreay, and to a lot more to a lot of people around the world. Do you know why? Because ever since Ospreay stepped foot in AEW, there has been a phrase that has been following him around, and he is sure the fans know it!
Ospreay is sure Tony Khan knows it, and all the boys and girls in the back know it! And everyone here now knows it: “Restore the feeling!” Bruv, Ospreay IS the feeling! This match is about reminding people what AEW is! You put the best wrestler in the world against the best wrestler of the 21st century, and only ONE man walks out the winner! The fans fire up for that! Ospreay says he’ll tell you this right now: “The one thing I have learned from Bryan Danielson is that I can have respect for the man that stands opposite me, but the moment I step into this ring, it’s your life or it’s mine, and I don’t plan on dying, bruv!”
The fans are thunderous and chant “BRUV! BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay says April 21st, “this is about finding out who is THE best wrestler in the world, and let me tell you, because my name is Will Ospreay! And I am on! Another! LEVEL!” Ospreay is ready and so are the fans, will April 21st be when a United Empire becomes a Dynasty?

And since you already have a tag team match this Friday on Rampage, maybe we’ll stick around and get a closer look. “I suggest you watch for the shoe, because it’s headed straight up your ass!” Strong words to say the least, but who will join Deonna for a duet that involves taking down the AEW Women’s World Champion?

Will BCG do whatever they want to whoever they want just to get ahead?
Chris Jericho & Hook VS The Gates of Agony w/ Prince Nana!

Backstage interview with Kyle O’Reilly.
Renee is with Kyle and says tonight is such a huge night for AEW. A lot has changed recently, but what does Kyle think about it? For two years, the thought of never wrestling again was the least of his problems. There was a span there where physically, he couldn’t pick up his daughter, and those were the darkest days of his life. But Kyle’s neck got better, his arms got better, and now that he’s back, he looks at the AEW roster, and he wonders if he can still hang. This is perhaps the most competitive roster in the history of the sport. But then Kyle sees a guy he’s impressed by. A guy he’s had his sights set on, so to speak. A guy that Kyle feels can bring out “that Kyle O’Reilly.”
So, “Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith, you and Kyle have a match this Saturday on Collision. Kyle’s first match back in almost two years! And it’s in Kyle’s home country of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada! But then Roderick Strong comes in shouting for “KYYYLE!” Oh, sup, dude? Roddy wants to say Kyle knows how much respect Roddy has for him, and how much love he has for him. If Kyle wants to do this on his own, then he can do this on his own. They shake hands, Kye even fist bumps Taven & Bennett. Kyle says his first match back, and he’ll be on his own. Something about that seems surreal, but can Kyle make the comeback story a reality?
Mercedes Mone finds Riho backstage.
The CEO formally introduces herself to the inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion, and says she is looking forward to her match tonight. Mercedes wishes Riho good luck, Riho thanks her, and then Mercedes heads to the VIP area. Will Riho prove herself worthy of one more world title shot? Or will the Babe with the Power finally break through to that level?
Backstage interview with Jericho & Hook.
Renee congratulates them on the big win over The Gates of Agony. Renee also knows Jericho has had his attention on Hook, but did Hook earn his respect? Jericho will say this: The Gates are no joke, but Hook rose to the occasion. Hook showed Jericho that he doesn’t just have potential, he has “future world champion” written all over him. But as much as Jericho learned standing in the ring next to Hook, he still needs to know more. He needs to know what it is to be standing across from Hook. So next week, Dynamite in Toronto, Jericho is challenging Hook, a first-time-ever! Hook says yeah, let’s do it! They fist bump, will Jericho learn what makes the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil tick?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite next week!
On top of the I Quit match for the TNT Championship and Jericho VS Hook, another first-time-ever has been made as Kazuchika Okada gets his shot at Eddie Kingston’s AEW Continental Championship! However, Okada only wants the Continental Championship, as he is apparently above the ROH World and NJPW Strong Championships. But either way, is Okada going to end the Mad King’s reign? Or will Eddie make sure Okada dries up in Toronto?

Then she turns around to see Willow. Willow raises Mercedes’ hand in victory, will Mercedes get in on a title scene soon enough?
My Thoughts:
Big Business was big indeed! Now obviously, Mercedes Mone was of course debuting in AEW tonight, she is All Elite, and she had a great promo to open the night and really speak from the heart. She also of course had a part to play at the end of the night, saving Willow from Julia & Skye. Willow VS Riho was an awesome main event, and Willow winning was to me the right choice because Willow VS Julia for the TBS Championship is what they’ve been building this whole time, now it’s going to happen. Now, I’d love Willow & Mercedes VS Julia & Skye to happen to then officially announce Willow VS Julia, but it still has to be Willow VS Julia for Dynasty or something like that.
Great promo from Adam Cole with an actual book for story time, and great world championship match, but of course Joe won out. Undisputed Kingdom will be upset with Wardlow, they might even kick him out of the group so that Wardlow can fight one or more of them on the way to Dynasty. Roddy also had a good promo with Kyle that has started to make it sink in for Kyle that he’s gonna be without anyone by his side. Kyle’s only rarely been solo in his career, from ROH to NXT to now, and that makes for some intriguing storytelling. And then back to Joe, of course Swerve wanted after him, that is the obvious world title match for Dynasty, and it will be awesome.
Great promo from The New Elite with Okada fitting right in with The Bucks and this new sort of passive aggressive obnoxious. They had a great Six Man Tag with Eddie, Penta & Pac, which The Elite of course won, and oddly, now that Eddie VS Okada is only for the AEW Continental Championship, that match can go either way. I felt like Okada wasn’t gonna win if he was after all the belts, because why would Okada leave NJPW then get a belt that basically makes him go back to NJPW? Okada taking just the AEW Continental title would free Eddie up to actually be on ROH TV again while Okada feuds with Pac over the AEW belt.
Great promo from Ospreay to hype up Ospreay VS Danielson, he really has made some leaps and bounds in his promos the last year or two. Really good promo from Deonna to call out Toni & Mariah and even hint at a mystery partner. I can’t be sure who it’ll be, but whatever tag match happens will be a lot of fun, and one way or another, Toni VS Deonna 2 for Dynasty is clearly the plan. Good match from Jericho & Hook VS Gates of Agony that of course Jericho & Hook won. And of course Jericho wants a match against Hook. A little surprised it wasn’t outright for the FTW Championship, but I suppose it won’t matter if Jericho loses to put Hook over, though how much more over can Hook really get?
And then awesome stuff from Darby VS White. That was definitely a great finish that was both on brand for Darby and on brand for White. And then I did not expect this to be what broke Bang Bang Scissor Gang up, but it was a great way of doing it. Bullet Club Gold relapsed into being Heels, The Acclaimed stayed Faces, and while it’s a rehash of the last time Acclaimed feuded with Gunns, this will still be a lot of fun and there’s probably gonna be one team holding all the trios titles. Also, Darby getting his leg busted in the chair was clearly to write Darby off TV so that he could go do his expedition up Everest, though… we already knew he was doing that so it was also just so BCG would have more heat going into the feud with Acclaimed.
My Score: 8.9/10

Kris gets mad and shoves Shida to the wall! Kris says of course it wasn’t her fault! It was Shida, because Shida didn’t listen, kicked Kris in the stomach for that suplex, and then kept tagging in! Shida apologizes but Kris says that’s enough out of her!
Kris was THIS close to making history, and Shida ruined everything! Shida apologizes again, and says they’ve been friends for almost seven YEARS! Shida promises to make this up to Kris. Kris storms off, but what can Shida do to keep that promise?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS MXM TV!
Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong are still the AEW World Trios Champions after facing yet another Don Callis Family formation, but now they’re preparing for Dynamite Double Jeopardy on Wednesday. Will facing Mansoor, Mason Madden & Johnny TV be more than enough to prepare Cassidy for Dax Harwood? Or will MXM TV finally have their own chance at the AEW World Trios titles?
The trios sort out and Kyle steps up against Mansoor. The bell rings, they circle, and Mansoor shows off his drop steps. He might also be mocking Kyle as he drops down and puts up a leg guard.

Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?

Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together!

And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?

Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off.

Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring.

Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS MJF!
The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two step up, but MJF kicks low! MJF TOSSES Knight out, then hurries to THROW Knight into the steel steps! Then he whips Knight hard into the railing!

Knight lands out, back suplexes, but MJF lands out! Another back suplex, but into the CUTTER! Cover, TWO! MJF argues with the ref but the count was fair.

Knight DIVES and down goes MJF yet again! The fans cheer as Knight gets MJF in the ring, but then MJF bails out another side. The fans boo but Knight shrugs and builds speed again. Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side. Knight runs up, MJF DUMPS Knight out, and then the HEAT- NO, Knight powers out! Knight springboards, MJF gets under, but Knight comes back and sunset flips!

But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP! Ace just manages to clear the apron and the fans fire up for that! Ace gets Okada up and into the ring. Ace climbs, springboards, but Okada dodges! But then Ace fireman’s carries! Okada slips free, ROLLING- NO, Ace blocks to KNEE low!
Ace KICKS and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Then “CLICK CLICK!” BOOM DROP! The fans fire up for Ace as he runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! Ace pushes Okada out, springboards, and FLYING LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Ace is stunned! Ace takes out his ace card, and runs up for- A BOOT! Ace still reels Okada in, but Okada fights the suplex. Ace wrenches, Okada rolls Ace, TWO! Okada CLUBS Ace down! Okada drags Ace up, whips him to ropes, but Ace avoids the dropkick! Ace then lines up the shot again, THE- NO, Okada pops Ace up, but Ace sunset flips! TWO!!

Okada lines up a shot, he runs up, but he blocks a boot. Okada flips Ace, Ace lands safe on the apron and ROCKS Okada! Ace steps in again, FLYING- DROPKICK! The anti-air hits hard, then Okada ripcords! RAIN- NO, Okada ducks it to backslide! TWO!! Callis freaks out at how close that was! Ace runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low. Rocky wrenches, CLUBS, and CLUBS the bad arm. Rocky CLUBS away on the arm, then wrenches again. Cage KNEES low, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!

Cage puts Trent against the post, but Cash Wheeler shouts at him. Cage grabs Cash through the ropes, but Trent wrenches the bad arm, to SWING it into the POST!
The fans boo as FTRPG Vice are talking trash on C&C, but even Stokely talks trash from commentary. Wait, who is this standing up in the matching hoodies? It’s THE CONGLOMERATION! The fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!? Cassidy dodges that easily, and then SMACKS Stoke with the popcorn! FTR is furious, but they end up brawling with Conglomeration! RPG Vice mugs Christian while Conglomeration handles FTR & Stokely, off into the crowd!
The fans fire up as this brawl moves through the aisleway, and Cassidy is giving Stokely a noogie to his bald head! But Trent sets Cage up for Rocky’s FLYING KNEE! RPG Vice still has control while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Rocky talks a lot more trash on Cage, but Cope scares him off! The ref reprimands everyone, and Cope backs off while Trent stands Cage up. Trent whips Cage hard into railing! Trent then tags Rocky, and Rocky digs his boot into Cage’s bad arm against the railing! Rocky puts Cage in the ring, stomps the bad arm again, then drags Cage around. Tag to Trent, they double wrench to double BODY BLOW! Then they run to JUMP KNEE and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cage toughs it out but Trent slaps him around. Trent drags Cage up, snapmares, and he clamps on a top wristlock! Cage endures, Cope coaches him, and the fans rally up.
Cage rises, fires body shots, then runs the ropes, but into a kick! Trent hits an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage scrambles to ropes but Trent tags Rocky in. Rocky steps on Cage very much like Cage would, then steps off as the ref counts. Rocky argues with the ref and with Cope, letting Trent SMACK Cage in the distraction! Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!
Both men are down and the fans rally harder! Rocky crawls, hot tag to Trent! Trent BLASTS Cope, the fans boo, but Trent tags Rocky back in.

The fans cheer as Trent is caught cheating! Trent argues with the ref, then pleads with him. But Cope runs up, only for Trent to BOOT him! Trent runs up, but Cope pops him up, for Cage’s SPEAR! Cover, C&C win!
Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: The Divine Dominion VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down! So Kris makes it a cross-legged cover, TWO! Kris ends up on ropes, Lena blocks the ref’s view, Megan hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Megan grins as she gets one in, then Lena Electric Chair Lifts Kris! To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.
Kris flounders around but Lena drags her up. Kris fires body shots but Lena CLUBS her. Lena snapmares, runs, and SLIDING- NO, Kris turns that into a ghost pin! TWO, and Lena LARIATS Kris down! Lena snarls as she covers, TWO! Lena clamps onto Kris with a chinlock and grinds her down. Shida is back on the corner, and she rallies with the fans for Kris to get up. Kris rises, but Lena THROWS her back down by her hair! Lena “apologizes” to the ref, then covers, TWO! Kris toughs it out but Lena keeps on her. Lena stands Kris up, but Kris JAWBERAKERS! And throat chops! And LEG SWEEPS! Dynamite returns as Kris crawls!
Lena tags Megan, and Megan runs up to BLAST Shida! Then Divine Dominion reel Kris in for a DOUBLE- NO, Kris fights the suplex! Kris fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP on the champs! The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
