The Rock is here!
The fans fire up as the Great One makes his entrance, and then the theme transforms into his Hollywood Rock remix. He goes right to the ring, where a chair, a table and a mic stand await. The fans cheer for “ROCKY! ROCKY!” and he smiles. The Rock picks up the mic, the fans chant even louder, and then The Rock says usually, every single week, he comes out here and he torches and scorches every city that he’s in. “But tonight, it’s different.” The fans cheer that! The Rock says this city is different. Years ago, when The Rock first started his wrestling career, he started right here in Memphis, Tennessee.
The fans continue to chant for “ROCKY! ROCKY!” and he says he started here, every Saturday morning on Channel 5, and every Monday night at the big top flea market. Does anyone here remember his name from back then? “Flex Cabana.” He doesn’t know what he was thinking but he went for it. This city is different, so The Rock will say it like this. He loves you, too, he appreciates that. This is how The Rock will say it. “FINALLY…! The Rock has come back… home!” The fans cheer for that! Memphis, The Rock is home, it has been years. Do they wanna have fun tonight? Well The Rock promises they’ll have some fun.
Memphis, home of the blues, of Elvis Presley, and of country. The Rock loves the blues and country, do they want a song? The fans cheer so The Rock says yeah, let’s sing a song. He has War & Treaty’s Max, as well as Memphis’ own Yella P. The Rock will sing a little song here tonight. Another fans shouts “I love you~” and The Rock thanks her for that. She sounds like someone The Rock could love: drunk ‘n’ horny. But The Rock will cover a lot of stuff, but what he’ll cover first is what will happen to Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. Max strums the guitar, Yella P plays the harmonica, and The Rock gets into it.
“The Rock is gonna come lay the smacketh down on your blonde Cody ass and your best friend, the clown. I’m gonna whoop that ass and break your back. Or maybe I’ll just beat you with my fanny pack!” The Rock has the classic pic on the tron! “There’s gonna be so much drama. You’ll truly have no choice but cry to your mama.” Yeah, you know who he means. Mama Rhodes! Cody Rhodes’ mama! Rock is a mama’s boy. Any mama’s boys out there? Yella P confirms. Well here’s a little story about how Cody was born, it is historically accurate, as all of The Rock’s stories are.
“Dusty’s youngest son was just what he feared. He tried to raise him right but he turned out too weird.” STARDUST!? “That’s when Dusty said with total frustration, that drugs and cheap condoms were a bad combination! I know it keeps Cody awake to know he wasn’t planned, and he was a mistake. It’s okay, Cody, the important thing is you’re here now. And you’re not alone going into WrestleMania. You’ve got a tag team partner, that living embodiment of cringe, Seth Rollins. Got a little song for him, too.
“Cacklin’ and dancin’ is all that you do. No wonder that your wife is more popular than you. You’re so damn desperate to make them all cheer, but The Rock is gonna make that title disappear! You’re simply an embarrassment, son. Just like Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun. I love you, Ja!” The fans boo but The Rock says get well soon. But that should cover it. They got Cody, his family, Rollins… The Rock feels they must be leaving someone out. Oh yes, the Cody Crybabies! This one’s for all of you!
“You’re all so entitled, obnoxious and brash. Some of you have sex, but you have to pay cash. Your hero’s gonna bleed, and need some stiches. So whine about that, you crybaby b*tches! There’s some lines you just don’t cross. You all can kiss the ass of the Final Boss!” The Rock wants to do that again. “There’s some lines you just don’t cross. You all can kiss the ass of the Final Boss! We love you, Memphis!” The fans cheer The Rock concert’s return, and he says he liked it, too. And now The Rock wants to move things along. He wants to say something. They had fun, but here’s another kind of fun.
Last week on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes did something to The Rock. The world heard it, The Rock felt it, let’s take a look back. The Rock is of course referring to the slap Cody gave The Rock after being called “the mistake.” Fans in the present boo and The Rock smiles. Yeah, Cody finally manned up, grew a pair, and took a swing. Cody slapped the hell out of The Rock. But what’d The Rock do? He smiles. Then Cody went on Raw and The Rock and the world was waiting to hear the response to the biggest moment in Cody’s career. Was he gonna cut a passionate promo? What was he gonna do? How was Cody gonna respond to the moment that made him famous?
Cody talked about his mother, how he can’t hand the title to Dusty Rhodes but he sure can to Michelle Rubio. The Rock says Cody cried. By crying! He turned into a b*tch!? That’s how he responds!? Cody can’t handle the title to Daddy so he’ll hand it to Mommy~! You ain’t handing anybody anything! Cody, The Rock doesn’t wanna talk to you, but to one person, and that’s your mom! Mama Rhodes, The Rock knows you are watching and listening. You don’t know The Rock but you will in ways you wish you hadn’t. So Mama Rhodes, let The Rock break this down for you: Your son, Cody, took something from The Rock, and The Rock will make Cody pay, make the family pay, and make Mama pay.
WrestleMania Night One, Rock & Roman beat Cody and Seth, which brings them to Night Two, Bloodline Rules. Mama Rhodes, The Rock knows that you just can’t wait for Cody to #FinishTheStory. You want it so badly, to have the belt so bad, but that ain’t gonna happen. That belt stays around the waist of The Rock’s cousin, Roman Reigns. And now, Mama Rhodes, you are gonna get a belt. But it’ll be The Rock’s belt. And it’ll be this belt here. Fans chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” as The Rock brings out a big Brahma bull weight belt. It’ll be something a lot like this. He’ll take this belt and beat Cody with it. The Rock will whip the piss out of Cody and make him bleed
The Rock will tear skin and flesh, whip Cody like a dog over and over again. And Cody’s blood will be on this belt. When The Rock is down whooping Cody and Roman is done beating Cody 1-2-3, The Rock will take this belt, soaked with Cody’s blood, and walk over to Mama Rhodes. Mama Rhodes needs to be in the front row so the world can see as The Rock walks over and hands this belt over. She will be crying like her son, and that is okay. Because then The Rock will whisper in her ear, with all the blood and tears on this belt, he will say, “Michelle… What can I say, except you’re welcome.” Fans are torn over the Moana reference.
The fans do still chant for “ROCKY! ROCKY!” and he says, “If you smell what The Final Boss is cooking.” The Rock flipped the switch from fun to frightening almost too easily. Will he and Roman Reigns write a tragic ending to Cody’s story?
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: LWO VS Legado Del Fantasma!
Judgment Day isn’t happy that a Six Pack Ladder Match is how they’ll be defending these titles, but all the teams of Raw and SmackDown are sure for it! Will Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde have multiple tag title opportunities for WrestleMania Weekend? Or will Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo take this one for familia?
The teams sort out and Cruz starts against Humberto. They rush up, Cruz dodges to fire off haymakers and CHOPS! Cruz whips, Humberto reverses but Cruz slips free of the scoop.

Cruz sputters, Angel brings him around and tags in Humberto. Legado mugs Cruz, then Humberto puts Cruz in an open corner.

LWO tried but perhaps they were too greedy. Will Cruz & Wilde still have a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships for Stand & Deliver? Santos Escobar is also in action tonight, will Legado own the night?
Onstage interview with LA Knight.
Kayla Braxton welcomes the Mega Star and says since Elimination Chamber, he has been on a quest to find AJ Styles. Has he had any luck? Knight asks for the mic so he can “cook” for a minute. Kayla obliges, and Knight tells Memphis, “LEMME TALK TO YA! AJ Styles…” Fans boo the Phenomenal One, and Knight brings up Styles saying Knight needs to be humbled. Now you’re talking his language. Now you’re saying what he wants to hear. Knight is right here, come on out to humble him! Fans echo “YEAH!” but nothing happens, and that’s what Knight figured. Another week Styles doesn’t show up, and why is that? Styles ain’t big enough for this ride.
“Napoleon Styles out here making empty threats,” acting like Knight ain’t looking for him. HUH!? Styles sees it fit to fly all the way to Australia, yet he can’t drive his keister over here to Memphis? And all the while, he says “X marks the spot, LA Knight marks the spot. NAH NAH! LA Knight spots the marks. And the biggest mark walking is AJ Styles, YEAH.” So with that in mind, if Styles doesn’t have enough tingle in his loins to come here to SmackDown, Knight knows where Styles won’t be able to help but show up. Knight wants Knight VS Styles at WRESTLEMANIA! The fans like the sound of that!
Knight tells Styles that Styles says Knight walks around like he owns the place. Knight might not own the place, but at WrestleMania, Knight will own Styles’ ass! That means Styles learns whose game this is, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” But then Styles attacks from outta nowhere, with a chair! The fans boo as Styles then uses the chair to sit right on Knight’s neck! Styles picks up the mic to say, “I accept.” Refs and producers rush out here to get Styles to back off, but now the grudge match is set! Will the biggest WrestleMania ever also be the most phenomenal?
Logan Paul meets with Nick Aldis.
The United States Champion says hey to the SmackDown General Manager and asks, “What’s the plan?” Plan? Yeah, the punishment on Randy Orton. The chaos that happened last week. He slithered in, interrupted the biggest sponsorship moment in WWE history. He RKO’d Logan’s business partner right on the logo! What’s the plan? Aldis just smiles and Logan gets it. No dwelling on the past, right? But Orton should apologize, y’know? Not for Logan, he could care less. But for Aldis. Aldis could be in serious trouble. Think about the precedent it sets. The impact it could have on SmackDown and all of WWE.
Aldis says it’d set a great precedent if Logan requested that apology from Orton in person. Oh, Logan has to do it? Well it is Aldis’ job to make that happen. Is it? Yeah, it is. But of course, how can Aldis do his job when he can’t even find Logan an opponent for WrestleMania? Logan leaves with that, is he going to regret just about everything he just said to Aldis?
Backstage interview with Paul Heyman.
Kayla finds The Wise Man walking along with Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso, and startles him. She just wanted to ask if The Bloodline had a response to Jey Uso’s WrestleMania challenge to Jimmy. Jimmy says YES, there is a response! “Yeah! Little brother out there talking that big noise, huh? You forgot, didn’t you? You forgot that before The Right Hand Man, before you becoming a Main Eventer, before you becoming the longest reigning tag team champion in WWE, you was MY little brother! I raised you! Man, you followed me everywhere. I told you I got you. Last year at WrestleMania, it was me and you. This year at WrestleMania, it’s me VS you! Ey, Uce! Big Bruh got you! You want me? YEET!!”
Jimmy has spoken, and we have our Uso VS Uso match! Which side wins this Uso Civil War in the City of Brotherly Love?
Randy Orton VS Grayson Waller w/ Austin Theory!
The Viper not only took down KSI with an RKO last week, he and Kevin Owens humbled A-Town Down Under. But now the Aussie Icon wants his 1v1 in hopes of redeeming himself. Will Orton suffer the Grayson Waller Effect? Or will the Apex Predator be immune?
SmackDown returns and Orton makes his entrance. Orton does his pose a couple extra times just to get the fans more fired up. Waller gets impatient, and then out comes Logan Paul. Well, Aldis did tell him to get that apology in person, so maybe this is that. Waller blindsides Orton, the bell rings, and Waller climbs up to rain down fists! The fans boo but Waller wants Logan to see this. But Orton FLAPJACKS Waller off buckles! Orton climbs up and the fans fire up as Orton says these are for Logan, too! The fans count along, and Orton goes all the way to nine, but then Waller YANKS Orton down!
Waller DUMPS Orton out, goes out after him, but Orton kicks back! Orton SMACKS Waller off the desk, but Waller fights the back suplex! Waller hurries away into the ring but Orton drags him right back out! Orton TOSSES Waller into the timekeeper’s area! Orton glares at Theory, then looks Logan up and down. Waller SOMERSAULT COMPLETE SHOTS Orton on the desk! Theory says Waller’s the man but the fans boo, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Waller has a cravat on Orton to crank the neck. Orton endures, fights up, but Waller puts more pressure on the neck wrench. Logan confirms that he is demanding an apology here tonight, but Orton throws body shots. Waller fires knees in return! Waller whips, Orton comes back to LARIAT! The fans fire up as Orton rallies, then he dodges Waller to SNAP POWERSLAM! Orton sees Waller go to the apron and he brings Waller in through the ropes! The fans fire up but Waller steps in to DUMP Orton back out! Theory applauds but fans boo. Waller runs, slides, but into the DESK BACK SUPLEX!
The fans rally up as Orton agrees, he wants one more time! DESK BACK SUPLEX! Theory and Logan are both frustrated for Waller as Orton puts Waller in. Orton slides in, Waller crawls away and wants mercy. Theory gets on the apron but Orton sees him. Theory talks trash, Waller runs up, but Orton sends him into Theory! Down goes Theory, Waller is put in the ropes! The fans fire up and Logan gets mad as Orton laughs and hits the DRAPING DDT! The fans are thunderous as Orton tells Logan this is what he’s getting instead of an apology. Orton hears the voices, Waller rises up, but then Theory gets Waller outta there!
The fans boo but Orton drags Theory up into the ropes! DRAPING DDT for Theory! The fans are fired up, Waller somersaults in, into an RKO!! Logan is beside himself as Orton covers, and Orton wins!
Winner: Randy Orton, by pinfall
Orton blows a kiss to Logan as he stands tall over Logan’s little friends. But Theory CHOP BLOCKS Orton! Logan laughs as Theory DECKS Orton with a haymaker! Theory then sets Orton up for Logan as he slides in. The fans boo as Logan talks trash on Orton. Logan kisses Orton’s forehead, then loads up that heavy right. But here comes Kevin Owens! Logan is worried as KO BLASTS through Waller and gets in the ring! Kevin fires hands on Theory, Theory runs away, and then Logan falls back! The Maverick turns tail, Kevin helps Orton up, but Orton almost RKOs him!! Kevin is upset but Orton explains he thought it was-
THEORY RUNS UP! But into a STUNNER! And then an RKO!!! Kevin and Orton love the combo! Logan tries to play that off by saying he’s still US Champ, so none of this matters. But then Aldis walks out and “apologizes” for interrupting. But he wanted to follow-up on earlier. A couple of things. First, was Logan able to get that apology? No? Okay. Secondly, Aldis has determined Logan’s opponent for WrestleMania! Oh, sorry, he misspoke. He determined Logan’s opponents for Mania. Logan doesn’t like where this is going. Aldis says Logan will defend the title against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat!
Logan freaks out, but even Kevin and Randy are a little tentative about this. Will the Prizefighter or the Viper be the one to strike first and take that title from Logan?
Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.
Kayla is with Asuka, Kairi Sane, Iyo Sky & Dakota Kai ahead of Dakota’s match with Bayley. Bayley seems determined to take DMG CTRL down one by one before WrestleMania, so- Dakota stops Kayla there to say Bayley is not going to take them out and then make it to Mania! But they know Bayley is watching. Dakota tells Bayley that she will break her! And anyone who feels sorry for Bayley has lost their damn minds! DMG CTRL’s break-up is her doing! She was jealous of Iyo, threatened by Asuka & Kairi, and so in order for DMG CTRL to grow, they had to cut Bayley loose.
So this is a message not just to Bayley but to all the chicks in this locker room! DMG CTRL runs this! #CobraKai is ready to take a bite out of Bayley, but will Bayley still take the head off the snake?
Santos Escobar w/ Legado Del Fantasma VS Dragon Lee!
Angel & Humberto already did their Emperor of Lucha proud by moving forward in the tag team tournament. However, this battle is about the grudge growing between these two second-generation luchadores. Will Santos top off the night for Legado with one more big win? Or will the Boy Wonder avenge himself for all the blindsides and beatdowns at Legado’s hands?
The bell rings and the two rush in! Dragon CLOBBERS Santos, CLOBBERS him again, then fires off haymakers! Dragon whips, Escobar reverses but Dragon RANAS! Escobar bails out, Dragon builds speed and FLIES! Direct hit at the ramp and the fans fire up! Dragon pushes Escobar into the ring, hurries in after him, and then slips around the haymaker to reel Escobar in! Escobar fights the bomb, runs up in the corner, but Dragon pops him up to SUPERKICK him down! Escobar staggers, into an ENZIGIRI! Dragon brings Escobar around, reels him in again and the fans fire up for the SITOUT POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!
Escobar goes to a corner, Dragon runs in and JUMP KICKS! Leg sweep! But Angel runs up so Dragon has to SUPERKICK him first! Then COMBINACION DRAGON! The fans fire up, but now Humberto tries! Dragon FLYING RANAS Humberto onto Angel! Dragon returns to the ring, and into a fireman’s carry! PHANTOM DRIVER! Cover, Escobar wins!!
Winner: Santos Escobar, by pinfall
The king used his pawns to get the better of Dragon Lee, and now Legado beats him down again! But wait! Here comes Carlito! Caribbean Cool DECKS Humberto, CLOBBERS Angel, then runs after Santos! Santos runs away, so Angel gets the BACKSTABBER! Humberto runs up, into a SPINEBUSTER onto Angel! Santos CLOBBERS Carlito now that he has a clear shot! The fans boo as Santos says Carlito ruined his moment! Santos POSTS Carlito, but here comes REY MYSTERIO! The fans fire up as the LWO’s leader returns once again, and he storms right to the ring. Santos dares him to do something, but Rey says the same.
Santos swings, Rey dodges and fires off hands! Santos shoves but Rey rebounds to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Santos ends up on ropes! But then he bails out before Rey can connect with the 619! Rey gets the mic to ask why Santos is running away! Remember what Santos said? It was supposed to be them together as familia. Then he’ll get what he wants. Next week, 1v1, Rey VS Santos! And Rey promises that from the bottom of his heart, Rey WILL slap that stupid arrogant smile off Santos’ face! The fans like the sound of that! Will Santos finally pay for his betrayal?
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: New Catch Republic VS Pretty Deadly!
Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne were cheated by The Judgment Day back at Elimination Chamber, so they’re right back in the mix with this qualifier. Will the Big Strong Boi & Bruiserweight take a big step towards redemption? Or will Kit Wilson & Elton Prince be saying #YESBOY to their own opportunity?
The bell rings, Bate and Kit tie up and Kit wrenches to a wristlock. Bate rolls, rolls and gets free. The fans rally, the two knuckle lock, and Bate rolls back to then trap Kit in a headscissor! Bate handstand walks to bring Kit over, then he goes up the corner to tag in Dunne. Bate RANAS Kit, then Dunne runs up to wrench and wristlock. Dunne bends the fingers, isolates the arm, and he STOMPS it! Kit shouts in pain but Dunne keeps him down to get the other arm! Kit shouts to Elton for help but Dunne bends the fingers again! And again! Kit writhes but Dunne isolates that arm to STMOP it, too! Elton reaches out but Dunne STOMPS Kit’s arm again!
Kit stands, Dunne runs up but Kit puts him on the apron. Dunne ROCKS Kit, CHOPS Elton, then catches Kit’s arm! Dunne bends the fingers again, but the ref counts. Dunne lets Kit go, and Elton trips Dunne up! Kit dropkicks Dunne, covers, TWO! Kit hammers away on Dunne, drags him over and tags in Elton. They mug Dunne in the corner, the fans boo and the ref counts. Pretty Deadly lets off to taunt Dunne, but Dunne CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Dunne fires forearms but Elton trips him with a single leg takedown! Elton rains down fists, then tags in Kit. Pretty Deadly gets Dunne up so they can mug him, but Dunne CHOPS again!
Dunne CHOPS and CHOPS then he BLASTS Elton! Dunne blocks Kit’s kick to DRAGON SCREW that leg! Kit writhes, hot tags to Elton and Bate! Bate rallies on Pretty Deadly, fires off UPPERCUTS on Elton and whips. Elton reverses but Bate tilt-o-whirls to RANA! The fans fire up as Bate then runs in to UPPERCUT Kit! Then he UPPERCUTS Elton! Back to Kit, then back to Elton! Bate pushes Elton down, Kit runs up, but Bate catches the leap! The fans fire up for the EXPLODER! Bate then RUNNING SHOOTING STARS Kit, and fireman’s carries Elton! AIRPLANE SPIN! The fans fire up as Bate goes around and around!

A big win for British Strong Style, and now Bate & Dunne are one match away from going to WrestleMania! Will they be able to take down Legado to punch their ticket to Philadelphia?
Bayley VS Dakota Kai w/ Damage CTRL!
The Role Model brought #CobraKai and Iyo Sky back to the WWE, and there’s no denying that things soured at some point. But even so, DMG CTRL’s mutiny to excommunicate Bayley was brutal, and Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Will Bayley unleash just some of that fury on Dakota before going for the Evil Genius? Or is her Road to WrestleMania about to hit an abrupt end?
The bell rings and Bayley TACKLES Dakota! The fans fire up as Bayley fires off fists, but Dakota bails out. DMG CTRL shields Dakota for a moment, but Bayley gets Dakota in the ring. The fans fire up with “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” as Bayley storms after Dakota, but Dakota SLAPS Bayley! Bayley is even angrier than she was before, and she picks Dakota up to RAM her into a corner! Bayley fires off fast hands, the ref counts, but Bayley lets off. Dakota is a bit worried, but Bayley just hammers away on her again! The ref counts, Kairi gets up, but Kairi also gets away before Bayley gets her. Dakota runs up but Bayley puts her on the apron!
Bayley ROCKS Dakota, slides out and trips Dakota up, so Dakota hits the apron! Bayley then has Dakota draped out, snap suplex to the floor! Bayley dares DMG CTRL to come get her but the ref has them stay back, and SmackDown goes to break.

Naomi fires off but Iyo SHOTGUNS Naomi down! DMG CTRL tosses Naomi out, they do NOT want to feel the glow. DMG CTRL mugs Bayley more, TRIPLE DROPKICKS! Iyo goes up, Bayley is set up like a hammock, OVER THE MOONSAULT!! Bayley has an ally out there after all, but is it not going to matter when DMG CTRL has control?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, and after waiting since Monday (and hearing The Rock dropped another social media promo), him opening with the return of The Rock Concert was a great move. The Rock gave us comedy but he also gave us serious and menacing, this build continues to be a lot of fun. Also a really good promo from LA Knight to bring out AJ Styles and make their match official, and an equally good promo from Jimmy to respond to Jey for their match. Each night probably gets one grudge match, maybe coordinating Jey VS Jimmy with Cody VS Roman on Night Two so that it fits into the overall Bloodline story.
Great stuff for Legado Del Fantasma tonight, but of course they were beating LWO in the tag match. We just saw Cruz & Wilde win their way into a tag title contender’s match on NXT, they weren’t going to get in on the Undisputed WWE tag title stuff, too. Dragon losing to Santos so quickly was a bit of a letdown to me, but it was at least highly protected with all those distractions going on. And while Carlito shows up just to get beat up, Rey showing up to give us Rey VS Santos next week is good stuff. I would think Rey wins that, but that probably depends on any WrestleMania plans for LWO and Legado.
Great tag team match for New Catch Republic VS Pretty Deadly, and with Legado waiting in the next round, of course NCR wins as Faces. Bate VS Dunne probably make it through Legado, too, again depending on WrestleMania plans for Legado. Authors of Pain, Street Profits, Good Brothers and A-Town Down Under are also part of this, and while AOP VS Profits can go either way, I would think Good Brothers lose. They’re already a big part of NXT’s tag title plans so Gallows & Anderson aren’t pulling double duty. Plus, Waller & Theory kinda need this win. Orton and Kevin got the better of those two again, and the Triple Threat I was sensing is now a reality.
And really good stuff with DMG CTRL’s story. Bayley getting a win by DQ seems a shame because she should be able to beat Dakota, but DMG CTRL wasn’t gonna let that happen. Naomi trying to make the save was a good touch per last week’s promo, but I suppose DMG CTRL was still going to stand tall when they still have the numbers advantage. As I said last week, Naomi probably ropes Bianca Belair into this story given Bianca’s past feud with DMG CTRL, Naomi & Bianca VS Kabuki Warriors for the tag titles would be a good addition to the Mania card.
My Score: 8.8/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!
Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight.

The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back.

The fans fire up with Ospreay as he watches Ace rise up. Ospreay ducks a shot, atomic drops, then KNEES, ROUNDHOUSES, and STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, TWO! Ace survives that quick string of moves, but Ospreay brings him back around. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS again! And again! But Ace blocks one to ROCK Ospreay! Ace whips, Ospreay handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK!
The fans fire up while Ace bails out! Ospreay has the fans shouting “OI! OI! OI!” as he takes aim. But Ace avoids the plancha! Ospreay blocks the kick, only for Ace to handstand out of the sweep! Ace avoids another sweep, but Ospreay avoids the kick! Ace avoids yet another sweep by going up and over the corner! Ace WRECKS Ospreay with a dropkick, then aims to PLANCHA after all! Down goes Ospreay and the fans fire up! Ace drags Ospreay up, but Ospreay puts him int he ring! Ace rewinds to headscissor, but Ospreay pops Ace up to SUPERKICK the arm out! Ospreay then climbs up, takes aim, and BLINDSIDE FOREARM!
The fans fire up as Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Ace survives and Ospreay is stunned! Ospreay just shakes it off, goes to the corner, and takes aim. Ace slowly rises up, but he ducks the Hidden Blade to DOUBLE STOMP! Ospreay sputters, Ace falls back, and now Ace takes aim. Ace runs corner to corner to A-LIST LARIAT! Then he LARIATS again and again! Ace hoists Ospreay up top, then slips outside to ENZIGIRI! Ospreay wobbles, Ace gets space, and Ace runs up! FLIPPING RANA! The fans fire up as Ace is ready to deal the winning hand! But then Ospreay pops Ace up, and gets him in position! STYLES- NO, Ace pops free!
Ace trips Ospreay, steps through, ties up the legs, TRAILER HITCH BRIDGE! TWO!! Ospreay escapes, but Ace KNEES, KICKS, and fireman’s carries! Ace tucks Ospreay to then swing him out, AIR RAID FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives and Ace is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” as Ace stalks Ospreay to a corner. Ace ROCKS Ospreay again and again, then hoists Ospreay up top. But Ospreay fires shots in return! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, goes up, but Ospreay pushes on Ace’s arm! Then he HOTSHOTS the arm as he drops down, and he tucks Ace in! CHEEKY NAN- NO, Ace dodges! Ace RAMS low, springboards in and FLYING- LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Ace survives again! Ospreay roars, the fans are with him, and he ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Ospreay KICKS! Ace fires another forearm, Ospreay kicks, then Ace CHOPS! They go back and forth again, but Ace CHOPS and ROKCS, until Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks! CHOP! Ace HEEL KICKS! Ace shakes out the bad arm, runs up, but Ospreay dodges to then ROLLING ELBOW! And HOOK KICK! Then the underhooks for the STORM- NO, Ace pops free, then goes to a corner. Ospreay runs up but Ace goes sideways! Ospreay hits buckles, Ace hits the FLYING CHUCK!
The fans fire up as Ace shuffles the deck, and runs up for the0 NO, Ospreay BACKDROPS Ace, but Ace lands on his feet! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay isn’t done with just one, he aims from the corner and… Ace flops over! The fans boo but Ospreay shows no mercy. He just runs up to PENALTY KICK the bad arm! Then a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
