PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the Revolution Zero Hour!

Join Renee Paquette and RJ City in discussing, analyzing and predicting the night that features Sting’s last match ever!

 

Tony Schiavone and David Crockett are here!

These two reunite in the Greensboro Arena, where so much of Sting’s iconic career took place. David says as we know, tonight is about family. The Young Bucks made this extremely personal when they attacked Sting’s sons, so what was to be a celebration of a great career has become a grudge match. There is purpose and revenge, Sting isn’t leaving until he finishes the job. Great years were spent here, the centerpiece of Jim Crockett Promotions and the NWA. Here on hallowed ground, from 1988 to 2024, Sting finishes his career here, live on PPV! Dial in, because there’ll be nothing else like it!

 

Zero Hour – 12 Man Tag: The Bang Bang Scissor Gang VS Willie Mack, Private Party & Team Triple J w/ Sonjay Dutt & Karen Jarrett!

Jay White & Colten Gunn made it work with Daddy Ass, The Acclaimed made it work with Austin, and we have seen the entire six pack in action and win once before. Will this be another hit for the super group? Or will the mash-up of The Mack, Marq Quen, Isiah Kassidy, Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett & Satnam Singh destroy the dysfunctional half dozen?

“Platinum on the mic, I’ma ’bout to cook this! All these jobbers in the ring, who the hecc booked this? A Black guy, an Indian and Jeff in the mix, I just wanna know: whose fetish is this? You make my job easy when I’m rappin’, you’re like an offensive joke waitin’ to happen! The Bang Scissor- Sh*t!” Caster lost his flow three times in a row!

The teams sort out and Austin starts against Brother Zay. The fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” and Austin circles with Zay. Jarrett coaches Zay up and he ties up with Austin.

Winners: The Bang Bang Scissor Gang, by pinfall

#TriplePartyJay tried to use the numbers game, but not even they could stop this super six pack from flexing their guns! The AEW World Trios & ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions stand tall together once again, and White gets the mic. “Yo! Yo! YO!” White is copying Max as he says, “Listen! See, Max? It’s not that hard. Oh yeah, guns up for my Greensboro Gold Members~!” Now, White is always telling the gang about how much he loves Greensboro. It’s one of his favorite cities in the world! The fans appreciate that, and White continues to say that Greensboro has some of the greatest wrestling fans!

The fans again cheer, and White says hey, what better place to have an event like Revolution? And there’s a lot of action tonight! Will Ospreay is here! Who walks out the AEW World Champion? Fans chant “JOE! JOE! JOE!” so that answers that. Oh oh oh oh, who is ready for Sting’s last match, huh? The fans sure are! A very big night, kicking off the biggest way possible with the Bang! Bang! Scissor! Gang! The two best trios, the single best six man team, and the GREATEST faction in the GREATEST wrestling company, AEW! The fans cheer for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” and White says BBSG is led by one of the greatest of all time.

White can remind any of us, that on any given day, at any given moment, just who he is. He’ll remind us why he is the Catalyst of Pro-Wrestling! He’ll remind us to Breathe with the Switchblade! The fans sing, “OH~ Scissor Me, Switchblade~!” White says in ten days time, AEW Dynamite in Boston, maybe he handles some Big Business of his own! Fans like the sound of that. But until then, EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed. And if you ain’t down with that, they’ve got two words for ya: GUNS UP! The Switchblade is taking aim at something, two guesses what title he wants to add to the collection.

 

Backstage interview with Best Friends.

Lexi Nair is with Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero & Chuck Taylor, but also Doc Sampson, because we need a medical update on the International Champion before his match with Roderick Strong tonight. Doc says as we know, Cassidy has been getting beat up the last few months, and that Doc keeps telling Cassidy to tape up that back and ribs. Tonight, it happens or he isn’t being cleared. Then with all that said, how does Cassidy feel going into this? Trent speaks up that Cassidy always fights through it. And just like always, the boys have his back. Cassidy wants to talk to them about that, actually

Tonight, before, during and after, Best Friends need to stay in the back. Cassidy is sick and tired of seeing his friends getting hurt because of him, so he has to do this on his own. Chuck says yeah, he’ll keep the others back and respect Cassidy on this. Hands in, and even Doc and Lexi join in. Freshly Squeezed has support in spirit, but will that not help when The Undisputed Kingdom will stack the deck?

 

We hear from PAC!

The Bastard says, “Here we go again. A tale as old as time. The forgotten bastard! Where have you been, boy? None of your pissin’ business where I’ve been! Well, you tell me. Who said life’s so hard? Huh? Every man has his struggle. Do you think I don’t know the burden of shame? Isolated, blinded, broken. I almost popped me clogs. But I didn’t~! You’ll never get rid of me, Tony Khan! I’m like a cockroach, an indestructible little bastard, always lurking in the underbelly. I will be back very soon, whether you like it or not. And I am going to drag this festering scrotum of a company into a new age! Because I’m alive, ladies and gentlemen! And doesn’t it feel good to be alive?”

AEW TNT Championship: Christian Cage w/ The Patriarchy VS Daniel Garcia!

Captain Charisma will deny it up and down, but he did lose this title to the Rated R Superstar at Worlds End, then he bullied Killswitch/Luchasaurus in handing over his anytime-anywhere title match contract to get it back. Will that same insurance policy through emotional abuse come through for him tonight? Or will nothing save him from Red Death?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Garcia, but Christian stays in a corner. Christian frowns and finally circles with Garcia. They tie up, go around, and are in a deadlock. They go low, then back up, and end up on ropes. The ref counts, neither man lets go and they end up in the ropes. Christian finally lets off and backs away, but the fans still rally for Garcia.

AEW Continental Triple Crown Championship: Eddie Kingston VS Bryan Danielson!

Speaking of thrones, The Mad King still holds the three belts that define this modern American Triple Crown. But even more than these titles, he is looking to win Bryan’s respect. Will Eddie slay the American Dragon and make him shake his hand? Or will Bryan make his last year as a wrestler a golden one?

Renee Paquette is at gorilla with Eddie, saying tonight is all about respect, and perhaps the lack thereof from Bryan, who crowned Eddie “The King of the Bums.” Eddie is the first Continental Crown Champion, and he dedicates tonight’s match to Jun Akiyama. The music hits and Eddie heads out. The introductions are made, the three belts are raised, and we see who leaves Greensboro holding them all!

The bell rings and the fans fire up as Eddie and Bryan stare down. The two circle, feel things out, and test the waters. They circle, knuckle lock, but Bryan kicks! Eddie shrugs that off to give a kick of his own. Bryan kicks again and Eddie hobbles away. The fans rally and duel as the two reset.

Winner: Samoa Joe, by submission (still AEW World Champion)

Sixteen years after Steiner Math and Sacrifice, Samoa Joe still conquers the Triple Threat! If two men could not take this title, will no one ever dethrone the King of Wrestling TV? As for Hangman and Swerve, there is a question of why The Cowboy tapped out. Was it really because he could not get free of Joe’s grip? Or was it just to keep his promise that Swerve would not win? And even after those questions, there is also a question of when and where Swerve will get his next chance at this title.

 

AEW’s next PPV has been announced!

Sunday, April 21st, in the Gateway City of St. Louis, “all that has been built becomes a dynasty.” The inaugural AEW Dynasty is on the horizon, who will establish their dynasty in AEW?

Because here’s another pane! Darby calls to the sons, they help get those positioned by the chair square they made at the ramp side! Darby approves, and he fires hands on Matt. Darby SMACKS Matt off steel steps, then whips Nick into more railing! Darby digs Matt’s face into the steel and tells Sting to swing! Sting has his baseball bat! Matt narrowly avoids being beheaded!! Sting aims at Nick, Nick dodges, and the bat SHATTERS the glass!

The fans fire up and Nick freaks out! Nick & Matt try to run away into the crowd? Sting & Darby pursue and the fans fire up as the brawling gets even closer! Darby CLAWS Nick’s back, Sting ROCKS Matt, and they end up heading towards the backside of the stage! Sting brawls with Matt at gorilla, then they join Darby and Nick on stage. But Nick JAWBREAKERS Darby! Sting ROCKS Matt, follows him to the far side of the stage, but Nick aims at tables! Nick reels Darby in, suplexes, FALCON ARROW through the tables!! Matt turns things around on Sting with haymakers, but Sting blocks the hip toss!

Sting throws body shots, he dragon sleepers, and fans fire up, only for Matt to rake the eyes! Matt reels Sting in, and he FALCON ARROWS Sting through more tables!! All four men are down around the stage, but Nick rises first to soak up all that heat. Matt also drags himself from the wreckage, and Nick brings Darby towards ringside. Fans chant “F THE YOUNG BUCKS!” Nick is surprised to hear that again after all these years. Nick CLUBS Darby, puts him in the ring, then grabs that ladder Darby brought out. Matt rejoins Nick as Nick props that ladder up in a corner. The Bucks get Darby up and they aim for the ladder!

Fans boo but the Bucks still LADDER BOMB Darby down! Darby rebounds off the ladder and staggers into a corner. Matt sends Nick in but Darby BOOTS him! Darby BOOTS Matt, too, then jumps over Matt to get around Nick. Darby sends the Bucks into each other, then THROWBACK STUNNERS Nick! Darby fires off hands on Matt, then hops on for CODE RED! The fans are thunderous as Darby takes care of both Bucks, then hobbles over to the ladder. Darby stands that up all by himself, and it is tall! Darby makes sure the ladder is lined up just right, then he goes out to SMACK Nick off the steel steps! And again! And again!

The fans fire up with Darby, he goes back to the ladder, and he climbs! Fans are starting to put together what Darby’s after, and Darby shouts out Sting. Darby SUPER SWANTONS through pane glass!! Matt got Nick outta there, that glass goes all into Darby! Darby’s back is peppered with bloody spots, and now Nick gets a table into the ring. Matt has gone back for Sting and is punching away to bring Sting back to ringside. Doc Sampson checks Darby and now Sting is all alone. Nick sets the table up near the ladder, Matt waves to the fans, and the Bucks mug Sting against ropes. Then they bring Sting over to the table.

The fans boo and chant “F THE YOUNG BUCKS!” Sting fights the double suplex! Sting fires off hands but the Bucks mug him again. The fans boo more as the Bucks whip Sting to a corner. Matt mocks the howl, he and Nick run in, but Sting moves so the GAMANGIRI hits Matt! Sting then CLOBBERS Nick off the apron! Sting dribbles Matt off the mat! The fans fire up as Sting puts Matt on the table, CHOKES him to keep him in place, and then he CLUBS Matt for good measure. Fans go nuts as Sting climbs! Sting just saw his highlight reel, and he wants to add to it! But Matt stops Sting and CLUBS him!

Nick puts a pane of glass in a corner, but Matt POWERBOMBS Sting through the table! But Sting rises up!? The Bucks freak out, and Sting fires off hands! The Bucks mug him again, and DOUBLE HIP TOSS Sting through the glass!! The fans lose their minds as the Bucks then drag Sting up, just to LOW BLOW! Matt dragon sleepers, to steal the SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Cover, TWO?!?! Sting survives his own move and Matt is furious! Nick tips the ladder to get it out of the ring, and The Bucks work on what more they have to do to keep The Icon down. They go outside and look around for plunder while the fans rally as hard as they can.

Nick goes to the timekeeper’s area, and he grabs one of the title belts! But Ricky Steamboat grabs it, too! The fans fire up as The Dragon refuses to let Nick do what he wants! Nick still snatches the belt away, and takes a swing! Ricky ducks it, to then DECK Nick with the double fist! But then Matt JAMS Ricky with a chair! Fans boo but Flair gets involved now! Flair shouts to Sting, but Matt has the belt! Matt warns Flair to get outta here! Flair says no, but Matt says get out or else! Flair tells Matt to just do it then! Flair shields Sting’s body, and Matt lets off. The refs tell Flair he needs to go, but then the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK Flair!!!

Fans boo but then wait! Ricky’s back up! So the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK him, too!! The fans boo the disrespect to the elderly legends, and then Matt BELT SHOTS Sting!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Sting survives and the fans are thunderous! The Icon is superhuman and The Bucks are furious! The fans rally as hard as they ever have before as Sting rises. The Bucks grin and mock HBK’s goodbye to Flair! “We’re NOT sorry, we HATE you!” DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!! But Sting stays on his feet?!? The fans are electric as Sting just stares The Bucks down! Sting DOUBLE LARIATS! And then SCORPION DEATH DROP on Matt!! Cover, Nick breaks it!

Sting doesn’t care, he just gets Matt up again! But Matt snapmares free, and Nick is back in! E V P TRIGGER!!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!? HOW?!?!?!? Nick gets right in Rick Knox’s face, but Matt calms him down. Matt says to relax and focus, they can still finish this. The Bucks sit Sting up, shake his hand and mockingly say thank you and it has been a pleasure doing business with him. Then E V P TRIGGER again!!!! Cover, ONE?!?!?!??! Forget superhuman, is Sting an immortal?!? And he even eggs them on! So they DOUBLE SUPERKICK!!!! Matt says this is it!! Matt drags Sting up, gut wrenches, and Nick goes up a corner.

Wait! Darby is back and he SHOVES Nick off the corner! Nick crashes down through a table!!! Sting slips free to dragon sleeper Matt! The fans are going insane for the SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!! Matt survives and now Sting is shocked. Darby climbs, his back all cut and bloody, but he still hits a BLOODY COFFIN DROP!! All that blood is wiped off onto Matt’s black suit, and Sting turns Matt over!! One final SCORPION DEATHLOCK!!!! Matt flails, reaches out, but there’s no ropebreaks! MATT TAPS, STING & DARBY WIN!!!

Winners: Sting & Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Greensboro erupts, and even Sting can’t believe he pulled it off! Despite everything the Bucks threw at them, and despite everything  the Bucks threw them through, the Relentless Icons are victorious! This is the most incredible punctuation that could ever be put on such an incredible career! Darby gets a mic to say we’ve got about three minutes left, so let’s show some love for the Stinger Man. The fans keep on cheering, and again chant, “Thank You, Sting! Thank You, Sting!” Darby hands the mic to the man himself, and Sting says, “Thank you, Greensboro. To be honest with you, I’ve been thanking you all since March of 1988.”

Sting says his 45 minute draw for the world title with Flair, thank you, Nature Boy. Is he still here? Well, thank you, Ric, all the same. And Greensboro, you were incredible in 88, and have been all the way to right now. Sting was saying over an dover in interviews, he wants this to be a night fans will not forget. That this should be a night etched into our minds for years to come. And this is him saying this, this IS a night he will not forget. Thank you, Greensboro, you are awesome! Judging by some of the tears in the crowd, Sting is right that this night will live on in the memories of the fans here tonight and watching at home.

Sting says this is definitely the time to give thanks. Thanks to his greatest tag team partner, Darby Allin. How many stitches are these gonna need. Darby says he once said he’d die in Sting’s last match, but well, he’s still breathing. Yeah, Sting knew from the first time he saw Darby in action, Darby is a risk taker. Sting was, too, in his younger days. Well, Sting’s old now but he’s still a risk taker. Especially here in Greensboro. The fans tell him, “You Still Got It!” and Sting smiles. Sting says hold on, there are cues. The PPV must sign off, but the rest of this touching goodbye is on YouTube!

Sting’s sons rejoin him. That was some surreal stuff. Sting’s one son is wearing the exact boots, tights and jacket from when Sting faced Ric Flair way back in ’88 for the world title. And of course, the later years, Wolfpac Sting in red here. They’re “off the air” now, Sting is allowed to say that stuff. And y’know what? Greensboro’s still got it! Sting doesn’t have any words other than thanks and that he loves you all. Darby whispers something, and Sting says oh, yeah. He should call another person out for this. It wouldn’t be possible without… Tony Khan. The fans cheer as Sting tells the President, CEO & GM of AEW to hustle on out here.

TK finally makes his way out from gorilla and down the ramp, a little shy about this, and in shock seeing the carnage with his own eyes. TK and Sting hug it out, the fans cheer, and TK thanks Greensboro for being part of the greatest wrestling PPV ever! There’ve been a lot of great nights in this building, so thank you for being here to celebrate the Icon, Sting! The fans cheer that, and TK hands his mic to Darby. Darby isn’t sure what else to say, especially the fact TK felt Sting deserved this moment and the fans gave it to him. Sting promised he was going to leave it all out here, so hopefully the fans got everything they’d paid for. The fans cheer in confirmation!

Darby figures Sting should have the final word, he has to go to the hospital real quick anyway. Sting tells Darby to text how many stitches it ends up being. The fans cheer as Darby heads out, and Sting wonders. What about… Tony Schiavone? The fans cheer and Schiavone waves. Schiavone says it’ll cost Sting but he does get on the mic. Schiavone says he won’t get in the ring, this is Sting’s moment. But how about one last “It’s Sting” instead? The fans cheer again, and Schiavone asks how much he’ll get paid. Nah, kidding, this is free. “It’s STIIIIIIIIIIING~!” The fans cheer and the AEW locker room is now on stage to applaud!

Sting is clearly touched by everyone else on the card showing their appreciation for him, and the “Thank You, Sting!” chant begins again. Sting then looks to his sons, they hug, and the fans cheer the most touching moment of all. The video ends, capping off Sting’s AEW wrestling career. And truly, truly truly, #ThankYouSting.


My Thoughts:

Holy moly. As Tony Khan said in that bonus segment at the end right there, this very well may have been the best AEW PPV yet. About as close to perfect of a PPV as could happen, too. The only gripe I have is, why wasn’t Edge here to make a miraculous comeback and go after Christian? Does the continuance of Edge VS Christian really need the TNT Championship? Still an awesome showing from Garcia, a great move for Daddy Magic to be his back-up there, but as great as Christian’s Patriarch persona has been, the Face of TNT should be someone who could use this title. Garcia could really use a title, and specifically an AEW title. No offense to ROH, but there’s issues with how ROH is used to where it certainly comes off as a step below.

But everything else was as expected and in a good way. Great matches in the Zero Hour, and I actually like that it was only the two. The 12 Man Tag was a lot of fun stuff, and there was also a lot of good dysfunction and tension thrown in to keep this going towards the group’s eventual implosion. But White vaguely yet still clearly calling out the world title scene, him making himself out to be the best of all six could itself be the final straw. Kris & Willow winning against Skye & Julia was of course the move, too, because they will perhaps be forced apart by how only one can be TBS Champion, and we can build that towards the new PPV in April, AEW Dynasty.

Eddie winning over Bryan and finally getting that handshake was great stuff, that’s definitely a turning point for both guys. Moxley & Claudio beating FTR was a surprise, but I suppose BCC moving up in the tag division does help freshen things up in the title scene. The All-Star Scramble was a lot of fun, and I appreciate they gave us a proxy for Meat Madness in the middle there. I of course figured Wardlow was winning, this all feeds into the Undisputed Kingdom’s story. Roddy winning clean was another big surprise, but it feeds both the Undisputed Kingdom’s story and works with how Cassidy’s story has always been fighting until the wheels fall off.

Kyle O’Reilly returning was an awesome surprise, too, as was him being friendly with Roddy. He didn’t join The Kingdom, but he didn’t turn on Roddy, so there’s some intrigue in there that’ll help get us through the Spring and maybe even Summer. The Women’s World Championship match was great, I was right in thinking Mariah would get involved but Storm still retained, somewhat opposite of what I expected. There’s still a lot of potential in building towards Storm not appreciating Mariah and that makes Mariah turn on her, but they might be taking a slower build to that to really explore the space.

I won’t say Ospreay VS Takeshita was match of the decade as Callis was saying, but that was definitely a candidate for best of the year. Ospreay of course won, but I like that Fletcher is now being set up as his next opponent. Now, I don’t want that to turn Fletcher and Ospreay against each other, but anything can happen with this.

That Triple Threat for the world title was awesome, especially with Hangman’s Heel move being “attack refs,” while Swerve starts to lean Face by not using weapons like Nana’s crown despite this being No Disqualifications. Hangman probably didn’t tap just so Swerve would lose, but he did say he’d rather die than let Swerve win, so there’s still some credence to that. And given how the AEW Dynasty video had quite a bit of Swerve featured in it, yeah, Swerve has to be challenging for the title 1v1 by then so he can win on the inaugural edition of that PPV.

And of course, the main event, Sting & Darby VS The Bucks, those guys just going hog wild all around the stage and ringside area, what a way for Sting to say goodbye. Sting’s sons cosplaying his past looks, Darby taking a truly insane bump falling from, I dunno, 15+ feet up to crash through glass, Flair AND Steamboat taking bumps, and The Bucks even mocking Flair’s WWE retirement match, just perfect stuff. Despite what I’d been saying in the build, I’m totally fine with Sting winning out in the end because c’mon, it’s STIIIING~! As far as I know, no one has ever broke the tradition of losing in retirement before this, and I’m fairly certain no one ever will again, because Sting has had a truly amazing career.

My Score: 9.5/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.

“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”

The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!

The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!

The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.

Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.

At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.

So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!

The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.

On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”

The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?

 

The Death Riders arrive.

Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?

Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!

The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT! They fire forearms back and forth, Gabe fires haymakers, but Briscoe gives those back! The fans fire up, Briscoe CHOPS, but Gabe CHOPS! The CHOPS keep going, then Gabe ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe fires back with a flurry, but Gabe RAMS him into the corner! Speedball & Willow rush in, Moxley & Marina intercept, and the fans fire up as there’s brawling all over the place! Moxley DECKS Bailey, Marina KNEES away on Willow then TOSESS her! Moxley keeps after Bailey but Bailey hits back.

Marina and Willow keep fighting on the outside while Bailey KICKS Moxley against barriers. JUMP KICK! Willow digs her boot into Marina’s face! Gabe talks trash, but fans count along as Bailey rains down TEN punches on Moxley! Gabe whips Mark, Mark goes up and out to ROCK Gabe, RAM low, and then HOTSHOT! Gabe tumbles out to the floor, Briscoe is back in, and Bailey hands him a chair! The fans fire up as the chair is set up, and Briscoe shouts out to Sabu! TRIPLE JUMP DIVE onto the Death Riders! The fans fire up and Briscoe high fives the front row while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Briscoe high fives with Bailey and Willow, then goes back for Gabe. Briscoe CLAWS Gabe’s face, the ref sorts everyone else out, but Bailey sends Moxley into railing! Briscoe BITES Gabe on the forehead, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe flounders into the ring and Briscoe follows. Briscoe stands Gabe up to ROCK him with a right, and then he stomps Gabe into the corner. The ref counts, Briscoe steps off at 4, then he drags Gabe up. Briscoe tags Willow, they double whip Gabe and DOUBLE HIP TOSS! Willow flexes, then tags Bailey. Bailey & Briscoe double whip and they TRIPLE BOOT Gable! Cover, TWO!

Bailey stays on Gabe, brings him over, and he tags Briscoe. Briscoe UPPERCUTS Gabe, then CHOPS! Briscoe whips, Gabe reverses, and Moxley gets a cheap shot in! Gabe clinches for an EXPLODER! Tag to Moxley and he storms up on Briscoe. Moxley drags Briscoe over to then stomp him in the corner. Moxley soaks up heat, but that just lets Marina CHOKE Briscoe in the distraction! Gabe adds on, too! Moxley goes back to Briscoe, digs his boots in, but stops as the ref counts. Briscoe sputters, but Moxley taunts Bailey & Willow. Moxley drags Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires forearms! Dynamite returns to single picture and Moxley kicks Briscoe low!

Moxley scoops Briscoe to SLAM him! Moxley runs to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Moxley drags Briscoe up, wrenches, then tags Marina. They mug Briscoe with KICK after KICK, then Marina tags Gabe.

Willow and Marina both step in and Willow dodges a boot to fire forearms! Marina shoves Willow, KICKS, then whips, Willow reverses to CHOP! And LARIAT! And LARIAT again! And again!

The fans fire up as Willow back body blocks in the corner, LARIATS, then snapmares for a BOOT! The fans fire up more as Willow whips and SPINEBUSTERS! Cover, but Gabe drags Willow up by her hair!

They run up, Moxley blocks a kick to shove Bailey down, but Bailey rolls back to stand up. SUPERKICK!

Bailey goes up while Moxley falls down! But Yuta slides in a chair, that distracts the ref, and that lets Yuta SHOVE Bailey to the floor! The fans boo, but Gabe whips Bailey hard into railing! Gabe says this is for those who wanna mess with the Death Riders! Torture rack SLAM down through a table! “I’M A MAD MAN, YOU KNOW!” The fans lose their minds, but Dynamite goes back to picture in picture!

Marina drags Willow down and CHOPS away on her! Moxley CLOBBERS Briscoe, and Gabe soaks up the heat. Moxley TOSSES Briscoe over barriers! The Death Riders soak up more heat while Briscoe drags himself back over barriers and Bailey drags himself from the wreckage. Moxley and Gabe both taunt the fans while the ring count climbs. Bailey is still down past 5 of 10, but he flounders and makes his way up. Bailey is in at 9! Moxley is furious and shouts at the fans. Moxley drags Bailey up, reels him in, and soaks up heat as he suplexes, for the X PLEX! Tag to Gabe and he talks trash while Dynamite goes to break.

Dynamite returns and Moxley stomps Bailey in the corner. The fans rally but Moxley hangs Bailey out to dry! Tag to Gabe and Moxley KICKS Bailey. Gable steps in and BOOTS Bailey down! Cover, TWO!

Gabe drags Bailey up, we see Kris Statlander watching this, and Bailey BACKDROPS Gabe! Gabe tries to sunset flip it, but Bailey stays up! Bailey breaks Gabe’s grip to MOONSAULT KNEE DROP! The fans fire up while both Gabe and Bailey crawl! Hot tag to Briscoe! Briscoe dodges Moxley, ROCKS Gabe, then CHOPS Moxley! Briscoe fires off on them both, but Moxley waistlocks. Briscoe BOOTS Gabe, PELES Moxley, then clinches Gabe. Gabe fights free and reels Briscoe in.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!

This Saturday, May 31st, Collision will air coast to coast on TNT at 8 PM Eastern, OR immediately following NBA Playoffs Game 6, but you can always stream on HBO Max!

 

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.

“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?

 

Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.

The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?

 

Ricochet speaks.

The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.

“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”

 

No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!

For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win? Perhaps the Megasus & Superbad Girl don’t want to admit they got outsmarted by the Queenslayer & Wild Aussie. But now there will be no excuses because there is no such thing as cheating in a No Disqualifications match! Will Anna & Harley be the stars of the show after going all out? Or will they be made to #BowDown?

Megan & Ford come prepared with a trash can, its lid, and a golden steel chair! But Anna & Harley are ready to ride as a couple cowgirls armed with two-by-four and steel pipe!

Mercedes Mone arrives in a low rider.

The CEO is once again #FourBeltsMone as she holds up her Queen of Harts title, even as her driver parks the convertible. The AEW TBS Champion struts in as a rhinestone cowgirl, ready to meet the AEW Women’s World Champion face to face, but will they keep it civil? Or will there be a shootout in El Paso?

 

Six Man Tag: The Opps VS The Frat House!

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs were part of the winning Team AEW at Anarchy in the Arena. But now, they focus on being AEW World Trios Champions. Will they be ready to go all in this summer? OR will Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Jacked Jameson, and even their El Paso “Pledges” be toasting a huge victory?

Jameson has a mic, and he tries to get the fans to join in on “FRAT~ HOUSE~!” They boo instead. Jameson says okay, last night, here in El Paso, him and the boys at Shifty’s Dive, throwing one of their world famous pledge parties. They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong! The fans cheer that! Jameson says that doesn’t make sense, all the guys are weak and skinny and all the girls are fat and ugly. The fans boo again. Jameson says needless to say, they didn’t find a new member.

But hey, that’s okay, they are not leaving emptyhanded. They’re walking out tonight the NEW Trios Champions! Uh, the belts aren’t on the line…? But Preston Vance says, “Win or lose, we BOOOOOOOOOZE~!” Vance gets in Joe’s face with that, and Joe HEADBUTTS him down!

Griff CHOPS again, Shibata CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans fire up as Griff fires a forearm but Shibata fires back! Shibata eggs Griff on as Griff fires more shots, only for Shibata to DECK him! Shibata runs corner to corner and HYDRAULIC DROPKICKS!

Shibata drags Griff up, HALF HATCH, then cover, TWO! Griff stays in this but now Shibata tags Hobbs. Griff scrambles away to tag in Karter, but the Diamond in the Rough doesn’t know what he got into. Karter fires hands but Hobbs just takes them! Hobbs TOSSES Karter to the corner, fires hands, then whips corner to corner. LARIAT in the corner! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Hobbs fires more LARIATS into Karter! Hobbs reels Karter in for the short arm LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Hobbs DECKS Griff off the apron, but Vance BLATSS Shibata and Joe!

Joe runs in, Vance runs away, and the ref is distracted, so Jameson slips in with that frat paddle! Jameson SMACKS Hobbs! Hobbs just gets mad! Hobbs LARIATS Jameson up and out! A Pledge is sent in!? Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Another Pledge tries, but he gets a SPIENBUSTER! The third Pledge tries, he gets a SPINEBUSTER! Vance has the paddle! The ref stops Vance, and Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Karter climbs up the corner, almost slips, but he still leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by pinfall

That was town bidness times ten! Will the Frat House study up next time? Will The Opps continue to prove they are #NeverLacking?

 

Renee Paquette is in the ring.

Renee welcomes out the woman who fought her heart out at Double or Nothing, Jamie Hayter! The fans cheer as Hayter heads to the ring, clearly bummed she is NOT the 2025 Queen of Harts. Renee brings up that unfortunately, Hayter could not overcome Mone in the finals. And she knows Hayter was worried about what her future in AEW would look like without that win. Has Hayter had time to think about what’s next? Hayter tells Renee, that is the question. But then the lights go out!? Oh no, could it be…? The lights come back up and it is THEKLA! The Toxic Spider is in AEW, and she’s right on Hayter!

Thekla DECKS Hayter, then stands over her! Thekla stares into the camera, then spider-walks over! Will the “Idol Killer” tear down all those that came before her in order to be THE woman in AEW?

 

AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The Paragon could not stop the Don Callis Family on Sunday, and now the Panama City Playboy is the Protostar’s next target! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mar and take this title home for the family? Or will it still be all about the BOOM?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!

Callis is on commentary to say the fans love Cole because he’s just like the fans: he lives on hopes and dreams. Callis says you can’t take hopes to the bank, but you can bank on Fletcher! The bell rings and the fans rally up as Cole and Fletcher stare down. Cole and Fletcher circle, feel things out, and tie up. Fletcher puts Cole in a corner, lets off slowly, then rolls back to mock the “Adam Cole Baybay!” Cole and Kyle circle, tie up, and Cole waistlocks. Fletcher pries free, switches, then he SLAMS Cole down! The fans are torn but Fletcher flexes on Cole. Cole and Fletcher reset, circle, and tie up. Cole headlocks, Kyle fights the takeover, and Kyle powers out.

Kyle RUNS Cole over, smirks, and then goes back for Cole. Kyle slips, Cole slips free, and Cole fires forearms! Kyle scoops but Cole fights free again! Kyle kicks low, CLUBS Cole on the back, but Cole PELES! The fans fire up and Kyle staggers around! Cole storms up to fire hands and he puts Kyle in a corner. Cole stomps a mudhole into Kyle, steps off as the ref counts, and he gives a proper “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans cheer, Cole whips corner to corner, but Kyle reverses. Kyle runs up but Cole puts him on the apron, and SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Kyle. Cole goes to the apron and takes aim, only for PRG Vice to step up!

The fans boo as Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta stand in Cole’s way, but Callis says this is strength in numbers. Well speaking of, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly rush out here! Paragon brawls with RPG Vice and head to the back! The fans fire up, Cole goes to fetch Fletcher, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS Cole down! Kyle drags Cole up, reels him in, and APRON POWERBOMBS!! That was a lot more Cole’s head and neck then his back, and while the ref checks Cole, Callis mockingly says he’s gonna check on Kyle while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Fletcher flexes more while he soaks up heat, and Callis really does walk over to talk with him. Kyle steps into the ring and somehow Cole is okay to continue, so a ring count starts. Cole stirs at about 3 of 10, Callis & Kyle soak up more heat, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Cole at about 7. Kyle drags Cole into the ring, then stomps him down! Kyle stomps Cole more, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Cole down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Then he CHOKES Cole on the ropes! The ref counts, Kyle steps off, and Cole goes to a corner. Kyle soaks up heat, distracts the ref, and that lets Callis CHOKE Cole!

Callis scurries back to commentary before he’s caught, and Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires body shots but Kyle eggs him on. Cole fires more shots, but Kyle BOOTS him down! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat, and he checks if that’s for him or for Cole. It is for Kyle, so Kyle scoops Cole and SLAMS him! Kyle paces more while Cole writhes. Cole sits up but Kyle is on him with another scoop and SLAM! Kyle leans on the ropes while he soaks up more heat, then he goes back to Cole. Kyle rains down fists, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Cole down. Cole endures and fights up while Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally as Cole fires body shots, only for Kyle to scoop and SLAM again! Kyle twists Cole’s wrist, scoops and SLAMS again, then eggs everyone on. The fans boo but Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires forearms! The fans rally, but Kyle scoops and spins to SLAM! Callis says the reason Cole was outside to be hit with that apron powerbomb is because he went after Kyle outside the ring. Callis says Cole only has himself to blame. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Cole SUPERKICKS! Callis is eating his words the way Kyle ate that foot! The fans are thunderous as Cole rises up! Cole storms up to fire forearm after forearm!

Kyle shoves Cole but Cole LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And BOOTS! Kyle staggers around, Cole brings him over, but Kyle fights the fireman’s carry! Kyle runs, but Cole BOOTS him! Kyle rebounds into the fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but the fans rally behind Cole. Cole rises up, goes to the corner, and he climbs up to aim again. Kyle stands into the PANAMA- NO, Kyle BACKDROPS then sits down on a cover, TWO!! Cole escapes, Kyle blocks his kick, and Kyle spins Cole for a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cole flounders, Kyle runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! And then Kyle reels Cole in, but Cole suplexes, GHOST BUSTER!!

Cole fires up, rises up, and the fans are with him! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! Kyle sputters, Cole brings down the kneepad, and Callis freaks out! But JOSH ALEXANDER is here, and he just CLOBBERS Cole!!

Winner: Adam Cole, by disqualification (still AEW TNT Champion)

Callis laughs as the Don Callis Family’s Walking Weapon beats Cole down! But Kyle doesn’t get to be TNT Champion, what good was this? Alexander BITES Cole, Callis says break Cole! Kyle & Alexander mug Cole while the fans boo and cuss Callis out! But wait! Here comes Brody King! The King of Death ahs a chair, and he runs Alexander & Kyle off! This match was to be the main event, but it might as well happen now! Will Brody bulldoze through Alexander to head for Fyter Fest? Or will the Don Callis Family still secure something good for the Summer?

 

AEW International Championship Qualifier: Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family VS Brody King!

Dynamite returns, security standing between the Walking Weapon and King of Death, but they won’t wait any longer! Security is literally thrown aside and the bell rings! The brawl is on and the fans love it! Brody KNEES Alexander, ROCKS him, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS him! And ROCKS him! And repeat! Brody ROCKS and CHOPS, stands Alexander up and whips corner to corner. Brody runs up, Alexander BOOTS him then goes up, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Alexander dusts himself off, stomps Brody around, then rips the shirt away to CHOKE Brody with it!

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of the other two International Championship qualifiers, Claudio VS Komander and Hechicero VS Mascara Dorada, we will have Mina Shirakawa VS Skye Blue! Will the Fighting Gravure Idol stay strong in the wake of losing at Double or Nothing? Plus, after the confrontation during the TNT Championship match, Paragon battles RPG Vice, but with some added names to the mix! RPG Vice bring in NEVER Openweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, while Roddy & Kyle conglomerate with NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Tomohiro Ishii! Could this Six Man Tag open some doors to more golden opportunities?

 

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?

 

Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!

The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.

The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.

“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”

Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.

Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.

“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.

Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.

Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.

Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.

RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.

Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.

Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the Double or Nothing Buy-In!

Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Phoenix, Arizona!

 

Backstage interview with Ricochet.

Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.

Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

Backstage interview with The Sons of Texas.

Alex Marvez is with Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes, and he’s ready to rep the #DayOneGuys. Marvez notes Sammy was part of that very first Double or Nothing in 2019. Safe to say, things have changed? Yes, that is true. Sammy is a husband and dad! He has a legendary tag partner, and he even has new merchandise! But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?

Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold! This is the Natural, Dustin Rhodes, a living legend! The Spanish God, Sammy Guevara! They are the UNDEFEATED ROH World Tag Team Champions! Do they have a chance? Yes, they do! On any given Sunday, anything can happen, so watch out!

You wanna hurt ’em? Bring the best you got, because it just won’t be enough! Dustin & Sammy want more, but will that ambition be their downfall? Or will they be the ones that hurt people?

 

Buy-In – 8 Man Tag: Roppongi Vice & CRU VS Bandido, AR Fox & Los Titanes del Aire!

While the Don Callis Family’s “big 3” are in action later tonight, Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero are teaming with Lio Rush & Action Andretti to show there are no weak links in the Family. But will RPG & CRU make it work? Or will the four high-flyers they’re up against be too fly to stop?

This was a wild way to wrap the Buy-In, and the ROH World Champion stands tall with his amigos! How much more madness will we see as AEW goes Double or Nothing?

 

The tradition continues…

Some events leave a mark. Fewer make history. Even fewer change history. But this event did it all! And though this is the seventh, luck will have nothing to do with it. Wills will be tested, violent acts will be committed, and legacies will be solidified. “With dreams of glory… and just plain anarchy!” Tonight, a mark will once again be left on the world. Because once again, AEW goes Double or Nothing!

 

2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter!

The CEO may be down to #ThreeBeltsMone, but she still feels entitled to this tournament’s legacy, the trophy with Owen’s name on it, and the title shot that comes with it. But on the flipside, the former AEW Women’s World Champion will not be denied her redemption that has been a long time coming. Will the Money Train stay on track?

TWO, but Mone rolls Hayter, TWO!

Mone runs, slides under, sunset flips to then have the leg! Hayter kicks at Mone, BOOTS her down, then grabs Mone’s leg! Hayter stands with a toehold, but Mone endures to push Hayter down! Now Mone has the toehold! Hayter kicks at Mone, and again has the toehold! The fans rally as Mone endures, and she kicks Hayter down! It is a battle of toeholds as Hayter again kicks Mone down!

Hayter dangles over the floor, tries to sit up, but Mone goes out to the apron. Mone hits a METEORA to the floor! Mone smiles and the fans are torn while the ref checks Hayter.

Hayter rolls through, scoops, but Mone slips free! BACKSTABBER! And then a Gory Especial! Hayter fights that, swings Mone around, and SUPERKICKS! Hayter kicks again, Mone blocks and KNEES back! But Hayter rebounds to LARIAT!! Both women are down and the fans fire up!

A standing count begins while the fans rally as hard as they can. We hit 5 of 10 but Hayter and Mone stir. Hayter crawls over to Mone but Mone flops out of the ring. The fans boo but Mone checks her chin. Hayter goes out after Mone, puts her on the apron, but Mone Tiger Feint kicks! Mone then whips, but Hayter reverses, and Mone is sent into barriers! Hayter runs, uses the steps to go up, and she FLYING LARIATS! Hayter rises, the fans fire up, and Hayter puts Mone in the ring. Hayter hurries to BOOT Mone! Cover, TWO!!

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)

Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?

Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?


My Thoughts:

An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.

Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.

Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…

That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.

Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.

Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.

This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.

And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.

My Score: 9.3/10
