PLAY BY PLAY
The Blackpool Combat Club speaks.
Bryan Danielson says BIG week for BCC. Jon Moxley is the NEW IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, a huge accomplishment. And on Wednesday, Claudio Castagnoli takes on Will Ospreay, then Bryan faces Ospreay at Dynasty. But there’s tonight first. Claudio says Don Callis gave Kyle Fletcher & Will Hobbs this motivational speech that they don’t even need to beat BCC, they just have to hurt BCC. How weird. But it’s easier to beat them than to hurt them, and what kind of faith does that show Callis has in Ospreay? Not much, it seems. Not sure what Callis is thinking. But Claudio has faith that all three of those guys could beat BCC.
But hurt them? People have been trying to hurt Claudio and Bryan for 20 years. Because they see the spotlight, they see how successful BCC is, and they see BCC all over the world. Bryan couldn’t be stopped by a broken orbital bone nor a broken arm. And Claudio’s been fighting week after week after week, consistently like Swiss clockwork for over 15 YEARS. Because it’s not about the work and the talk here in front of the camera, but the work behind cameras, the stuff you don’t see, that goes into making this look so easy at the level they are at. Bryan agrees there, and tells Don Callis that he wants his guys to hurt them, to hurt Bryan and to hurt Claudio.
Guess what?! That’s not gonna fly tonight! Because Bryan goes out there every single night to hurt people! That’s what BCC does! Violence is their specialty! DCF will not only see that tonight, but on Wednesday and in St. Louis. The American Dragon is all fired up, but will he and the Swiss Superman burn down the Powerhouse and the Protostar?
Six Man Tag: The House of Black VS Dante Martin, Action Andretti & Matt Sydal!
Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews are preparing for the coming war with Adam Copeland, Mark Briscoe & Eddie Kingston, but they’re taking on three men who are much different from Copeland, Briscoe & Kingston.

Backstage interview with Toni Storm, Mariah May & Luther.
Lexi Nair is with the AEW Women’s World Champion, as well as her protege and her butler, and says we saw a lot on Dynamite. Kissing, champagne, and- “Yes, we did see a lot, didn’t we, darling? Get used to it. Because we saw a Champion’s Champagne Celebration that made an Italian woman curse, and turned Lightning Daffodil into a diddling do-how! And as for the kissing… There has been no greater love than this.” Storm turns to Mariah, but Lexi interrupts by saying she meant the kiss Mariah had with Mina- Mariah cuts Lexi off there. Can’t Lexi see Toni has a lot on her plate right now?
Toni has a title defense on a PPV coming soon, AND a match against AZM tonight. Plus, Anna Jay’s all serious~ right now. Yes, yes, Azumi-san. You want her to kiss your bottom? Well, that makes you and a thousand other perverts! Toni will give AZM a beating so intense, it’ll be featured in a fetish periodical! And the name of that publication? Chin up, tits out, and watch for the shoe…! The leading lady leads the way out, will she send AZM crying back to Stardom?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Chris Jericho found Taz backstage to talk with him about the Six Man Tag. We all saw what happened, and Jericho just wants to explain himself to Hook. Jericho is just trying to do what’s right for Hook but Hook won’t listen. Hook won’t answer his phone or his texts, but Taz knows his son better than anyone. Can Taz please ask Hook if he’ll talk to Jericho? Taz says he’ll try, a lot of the time he doesn’t really hear from Hook, Hook’s his own man. Of course, of course. Taz says Jericho may have pissed Hook off. And when Hook gets pissed, it’s… Well, Taz will try.
Jericho appreciates that, and as it turns out, this coming Wednesday, Taz will broker a face to face! Will #LionHook still make it work? Or will this Jericho only #SendHook into a stronger rage?
Katsuyori Shibata VS Lee Moriarty w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!

Backstage interview with Athena & Billie Starkz.
Lexi Nair is in her Minion In Training Letterman’s jacket as this is an Emergency Minion Empowerment Meeting! She is with the ROH Women’s World Champion AND ROH Women’s Television Champion, and Athena defends her title against Red Velvet in the main event of Battle of the Belts! The main event, ON TNT, LIVE! Athena deserves this because she is that damn good! Billie agrees, but says Red is really good. She made it really far in the Women’s TV Title tournament. Yes, but Billie won that, right? She did! So Athena knows Red Velvet is a top star, Red Velvet is a threat, but Athena is the TOP champion! The BEST champion in wrestling today!
Athena is the Minion Overlord, the Fallen Goddess, the REAL Alpha, the Forever Champion, and tonight, Athena makes an example out of Velvet to show the world what they’ve been missing. Will Athena be the one serving L’s to The Chef tonight?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Collision returns as Lexi is now with Roderick Strong, Mike Bennett & Matt Taven and says as of late, they’ve had a lot of success. Would they attribute any of that success to Wardlow? “LEXIII~! How dare you. How dare you give credit to anybody but me.” Roddy is a fighting champion, a giving champion. Do you not see the opportunity Roddy is giving to these gentlemen who do not even deserve it? He is making them earn it because they do not deserve it. How dare she? But hey, Roddy has been doing it on his own, just like Kyle O’Reilly. Kyle inspires Roddy.
But enough about that, let’s talk tonight. Tonight, Roddy puts on a show. What’s the show called? The Beating of a Lifetime! That’s the Kingdom’s favorite show! But will Rocky Romero cancel that show to make it The Azucar Hour?
Daniel Garcia VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!
The Dragonslayer has been getting back up with win after win, and he doesn’t plan on stopping now! Will he turn it up a notch as we get closer and closer to Dynasty? Or will the South African Stud prove he’s still worthy of some opportunities, too?

Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission
A great fight leads to a great win for Red Death! Will this momentum help Garcia be primed for a title match on the other side of Dynasty?
Pac speaks.
“Kazuchika Okada. Believe it or not, bonny lad, I would like to thank you. Not only for accepting my challenge, but also for walloping me around the head with a big dirty lump of steel. That was very brave of you, wasn’t it, huh? And now, as a result, I have a perpetual headache that serves as motivation to remind everybody of exactly who I am. Now I may not be tall and handsome, I am not a Japanese superstar, I do not own a Ferrari, and I’m certainly not flavor of the month. Okada, you may think you’re God’s gift to professional wrestling, but you’re not! You’re CRAP! And what I am is better than you!
“And next Sunday, at AEW Dynasty, live from St. Louis, Missouri, I am going to relish the opportunity to prove it in front of the entire world. You understand me, hm? Good.” The Bastard is ready, will he violently end The Rainmaker’s reign?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther & Mariah May VS AZM w/ Anna Jay!
The leading lady of AEW knows her next big picture will have “Lightning Daffodil” starring against her, but she has to be careful not to take tonight’s performance too lightly. Will Storm strike down AZM here in Kentucky? Or will the Highspeed Superstar find her way into the Dynasty picture?

Mariah and Toni link arms while they drink up, and Storm brings Mariah to her bosom. Storm cuddles Mariah, then shoves her, then drags her back up to bring her away. Will nothing and no one take the spotlight away from the AEW Women’s World Champion?
Backstage interview with Red Velvet.
Lexi Nair is now with The Chef and brings up tonight’s title match with Athena. How is Velvet feeling about such a high profile match? High profile? Red Velvet IS high profile! And she saw what Lexi’s “boss,” Athena had to say, really stirring up the pot. But Athena, you wanna stir it up? They can stir it up? In BOTB’s main event, Red Velvet will knock you out! Red Velvet is not a stranger to main events, title pictures or high profile matches. Tonight, Velvet makes an example out of Athena, and shows everyone why it was a mistake for Athena to step into Velvet’s kitchen! Will The Chef make Athena eat crow while serving up that L?
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Now House of Black, I’ve been doing this dance with y’all a little while now, and I’m starting to understand how y’all operate. Starting to understand y’all’s M-O. You try to intimidate me. You try to strike fear into the hearts of men. Well I done told you, I fear no man, I fear no evil. And ancient wisdom says the violent take it by force. Now lemme tell you, Eddie Kingston, Adam Copeland, and Mark Briscoe, we some violent men! And at Dynasty, we bringing the violence, babeh! So heed my advice, House of Black! Be afraid, be very afraid!” The Sussex County Chicken is ready for a fight, will he, the Rated R Superstar and Mad King tear down The House of Black once and for all?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
He says Dynasty is coming, and a big match on that card is the AEW Women’s World title, Timeless Toni Storm VS the former champion, Thunder Rosa! The fans cheer as La Mera Mera makes her way out and joins Schiavone on stage. Schiavone says we saw what happened on Dynamite when Storm hit her with champagne and smudged her face paint. But the fact is, Rosa never lost her title. She has a chance to redeem herself and get the title back. Rosa says that is right. Before that, she wants to address something else. See all these people here? She wants to thank all of them for making this comeback so special for her.
And of course, thank you to everyone watching at home seeing them on TBS, TNT and all over the world! Without you, we wouldn’t have made all these wonderful memories the last five years. Without you, we wouldn’t have made AEW what it is today. The fans cheer that, and Rosa says she is here for a reason. That is to remind people that she doesn’t need help. And she means you, too, Deonna Purrazzo. Rosa wants to remind everyone that she’s done a lot on her own. When she earned her college degree, she earned her US citizenship, she helped a lot of people as a social worker, and won all those matches even before AEW, and especially when she won the AEW title.
But most importantly, Rosa fought so hard here to be in AEW, and she’s still here in AEW, because it is where the best wrestle! And “Antonia,” Rosa thought you believed the same things. What happened to you, homegirl? Weren’t they together in the ring? Weren’t they #ThunderStorm? When did Storm go completely crazy!? Rosa was so proud of being a champion, even though her body couldn’t carry her as far as her passion. Rosa had to heal. Then that day, something died inside of her. But Rosa has a chance, another opportunity, and it is important that Toni knows it will happen in St. Louis.
Rosa wants to humble Toni, to remind her that Rosa didn’t leave because she “couldn’t carry” the weight of that title. At Dynasty, Rosa carries more than that title. She will carry the pride of HER people, of her family, and if she has to break every single bone in her body to uplift and empower the women of this locker room fighting for just one opportunity and respect, because they also believe in AEW… Then Antonia, kiss your little clone goodbye. You made a big mistake on trying to erase Rosa’s mask. You don’t wanna see what’s underneath. You can’t kill what’s already dead! And on Sunday, Rosa comes for Storm, for the title, and to drag Storm’s soul to HELL!!
La Mera Mera is all fired up, and she smears her own face paint to make her point. Will she smash that spotlight and leave the leading lady in the dark?
Deonna Purrazzo speaks.
“Thunder Rosa, if you don’t want my help, that’s fine. I’ll help myself. When I staked my claim at the AEW Women’s World Championship, it wasn’t personal. It’s because frankly, I don’t think Toni Storm embodies what it means to be a world champion. But I do. I’m a workhorse, I’m a thoroughbred, I am the Virtuosa, Deonna Purrazzo. And I could stand here, make excuses about why I’m not the AEW Women’s World Champion right now, or I could do something about it. It seems if I can’t get one Toni Storm, I might as well get the other. So next week, Mariah May VS The Virtuosa, Deonna Purrazzo, and I’m gonna break your arm.”
The message has been sent, will Deonna make sure the leading lady’s understudy won’t make it to Dynasty to support Toni Storm?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynasty!
To raise the stakes on this match, The Young Bucks VS FTR Part 4, it will be a LADDER MATCH! No pinfalls or submissions, only the team that can literally rise above will become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! But is this still playing right into the EVPs’ hands?

Claudio gets a chair and he runs off the DCF, but the damage has been done! Will the American Dragon be able to recover in time for Dynasty?
My Thoughts:
Really good Collision, though half of it was a go-home to BOTB X with it being on right after this. Good promos from Athena and Billie, from The Undisputed Kingdom, and Red Velvet, but yeah, no titles are changing hands, even if it is the tenth BOTB special. Good promo from Mark Briscoe to add hype to the coming Six Man Tag, and of course The House of Black won tonight’s Six Man Tag. Good promo from Storm and Mariah ahead of Storm’s match with AZM that Storm of course won, but also good stuff with Anna and Mariah fighting. Good promos from Rosa and Deonna to add to the build, and maybe Rosa beats Storm at Dynasty, but hard to say with a week still to go.
Good promo from Jericho and Taz to set up this whole “meeting” with Hook, and I have a feeling that is where #LionHook really falls apart and we get Jericho VS Hook for the FTW Championship at Dynasty, or maybe Double or Nothing at the latest. Really good match from Shibata and Moriarty, and good save from Hook after to add a little more to the FTW Championship match scheduled for BOTB. Great match from Garcia VS Angelico though it was just for the sake of having a great match. I think I said before but Garcia really should get at a title after Dynasty, just not sure what title that’ll be.
Pac has a good promo to call out Okada, and then quite the big move for the tag title match to now be a ladder match. If feel like that’s just them telegraphing that The Bucks are winning because ladder matches are certainly more their thing than FTR’s. And good promos from both BCC and DCF, though the latter wasn’t needed other than to fill time. We know what Kyle & Hobbs were gonna go for after Callis’ promo, we didn’t need them doubling down on it. And while BCC of course won the match, the DCF then of course attacked after. The math here is a bit of a wash, Claudio surely loses to Ospreay, and then Ospreay and Bryan go in more or less even so it could be anyone’s win at Dynasty.
My Score: 8.7/10

Come out!” Darby wants an answer one week in advance, and who does he get? No one responds and Darby says that’s what he thought. A locker room full of complacent talent.

Britt Baker speaks.
“Well, well, well, if it wasn’t another victorious homecoming for me, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. SO now what? Where do I go from here? I’ll tell you exactly where I go. Where I belong: in the AEW Women’s World Championship title picture. I haven’t had a one-on-one shot at that world title since I lost it. Time’s up. Mariah, I saw you watching me, watching my match. Well, I’ve been watching you, Mariah. I like what I see. But unfortunately for you, you have something I want. I’m done sitting at home waiting to be called upon. Contrary to popular opinion, I don’t expect anything to be handed to me.
“Title Tuesday, I’ll be there. I’ll be ready to fight. The road to redemption starts… now. Yours truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.” The Doctor is in, but will she be leaving after she’s “extracted” that gold from The Glamour?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Rocky Romero, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale. Willow asks if it’s cool for her to start off. The fellas say sure, and Willow says okay. Because Britt, they all heard what you had to say. And you’ll have to wait your turn, because Willow wants the title. She’s coming for Mariah May. But tonight, this is Toledo, Ohio! And Willow has a match with Trish Adora like, right now! She knows the boys have The Premier Athletes, but she’s gotta go. Bye! Willow heads out, Mark Briscoe says do your thing, girl! And Mark feels sorry for Trish Adora, because right here in Toledo, Willow’s gonna whoop ass!
And as for OC & Kyle, they have the Premier Athletes tonight, and it’ll be another premier ass whoopin’ right here in Ohio! And as for Chris Jericho, Mark will address you real shortly. But tonight is about The Conglomeration! They’re getting down in Ohio, and tonight, the words of the day are “Diversification” and “Sophistication.” The Conglomeration is the most diverse and sophisticated group in pro-wrestling history! Understand what he’s saying? There ain’t no stopping! They’re The Conglomeration, they’re her, and they ain’t going nowhere! RARARARA! Kyle & Rocky are fired up, and Cassidy says Mark’s getting better, but just not quite there yet.
Willow Nightingale VS Trish Adora!
As The Babe with the Power said, she is aiming right at Mariah May, but who isn’t when we’re talking THE AEW Women’s World Champion? In fact, Mariah is in the crowd to watch this match like she did Britt in Pittsburgh. Will Willow prove she’s first in line, NOT The Doctor? Or will The AfroPunk completely flip the script?
The bell rings and the two shake hands. They circle, tie up, and are momentarily in a deadlock. Willow powers Adora to ropes, but lets go quickly. Willow whips, Adora reverses, then she blows past Willow to rebound and RAM her. Neither woman falls, so they tie up collar ‘n’ elbow again. Willow headlocks, Adora powers up and out, then reels Willow in for a headlock. Willow powers up and out, bypasses Adora then drops. Adora ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Willow RUNS her over!

Willow reels Adora in to snap suplex! Willow drags Adora back up, but Adora snap suplexes! The fans fire up, and that actually impressed Mariah. Adora then wrenches Willow to PELE the arm! Adora wrenches and WRINGS Willow out, then clamps on with a motorcycle stretch. The fans rally while Willow endures, but Adora steps on her, then steps over her! Split leg pressure and Mariah really likes that. Adora then shifts, hooks the arms, and rolls Willow to a cover, TWO! Willow is free but Adora is right on her. Willow CLUBS Adora to stop the lift, then she dodges a forearm! Willow hits the POUNCE~! PERIOD!
The fans fire up and Mariah is now concerned, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Willow puts Adora in a corner, then CHOPS! Adora shakes her head, so Willow CHOPS again! Adora still shakes her head, even though that one stings. Willow scoops and SLAMA Adora, runs, and SENTON FLOPS as Adora moves! Mariah is a bit torn, but Adora and Willow slowly rise. Adora stomps Willow to ropes, brings her up, then wrenches. Adora KICKS away on Willow’s arm, then CLUBS the shoulder. Adora wrenches and CLUBS but Willow fires body shots! Adora CLUBS Willow again, and salutes as she stands over Willow. Adora waistlocks, drags Willow up, but Willow fires elbows. Adora ROCKS Willow in return!
Willow drops, but Adora drags her up. Adora winds up to ROCK Willow again. Willow goes to a corner, and she CHOPS in return! Adora RAMS Willow, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, and Adora has Willow in the Air Raid Stretch, before the AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, TWO! Willow stays in this and Adora is frustrated. Adora runs in at the corner, but Willow dodges!

Backstage interview with Wheeler Yuta.
Alicia Atout is with The Decoder, and she says he has a lot on his plate. Not only is he wrestling tonight, but he will join forces with Bryan Danielson this Title Tuesday against Claudio Castagnoli & Pac. How has Yuta prepared mentally to be facing former friends? It is definitely different than- Oh, wait, the Blackpool Combat Club steps in from all sides. Yuta asks Pac, Claudio and Marina Shafir if there’s a problem, partner. Pac says he is NOT Yuta’s partner. Claudio has everyone else leave, and Marina makes sure Alicia leaves, too. Claudio talks with Yuta alone. “Let it out.”
Yuta tells Claudio that he trusted and believed in Claudio, and did everything he asked. He did more than that! He bled for Claudio! Yuta has given up years of his career for Claudio! And what has Claudio done? Yuta doesn’t even know who Claudio is anymore! Claudio left Yuta in the dark as he betrayed Bryan, and now acts like everything’s okay?! Like Yuta is still supposed to trust Claudio!? What’s Claudio have to say for himself?! Claudio asks, “Did I ever steer you wrong? I wish you would still trust me. Because you know what? I always have your back. What’d Bryan ever do for you?”
Claudio pushes Yuta’s AEW World Trios Championship belt into his chest, clearly pointing out what he’s done for Yuta. Claudio wants Yuta to know that no matter what happens, Claudio always will have his back. Claudio leaves, and while Yuta is teaming with Bryan on Tuesday, will he still be BCC?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Lexy is with a “very exasperated” AEW Women’s World Champion, and says everyone seems to be gunning for The Glamour. Mariah says everyone is drooling for a shot at her! Is this AEW or her DMs? Mariah knows she’s the prettiest woman on the roster, but she says that’s only because everyone else is so damn ugly! And Britt Baker, with one match, thinks she gets a shot at this title? Do us all a favor and go back to your office to floss! As for Willow, Mariah gets it! Mariah finally understands why Willow is so smiley and happy all the time! It’s because Willow knows she is lucky to be here! Willow doesn’t even deserve to LOOK at Mariah’s title!
And then in steps Christopher Daniels, and Mariah asks if he even does anything around here! Daniels says yes, he hears talent bitch, moan and complain! But he sees Mariah starting fights here and there, because she can’t lose anything in those fights. But we’re done with that! Here’s what happens: Title Tuesday in Spokane, Washington, we will see Willow Nightingale VS Britt Baker. Mariah loves that, she’ll definitely watch. Good, because see, the winner of that match faces Mariah at WrestleDream for the title! Mariah stops smiling and Daniels asks, “How’s that for doing something?” She tells Daniels, “Blow it out your ass.”
Mariah storms off, but Daniels smirks. Can’t please everyone, huh? But will it be The Doctor or the Babe with the Power that meets Mariah in Tacoma?
Wheeler Yuta VS BEEF w/ Anthony Henry!
Just as The Decoder started clearing his head of the internal conflict, The Swiss Superman clouds things up by using the gold against him. Will Yuta be able to focus on tonight’s match? Or will the beef within BCC distract him from the Beef right in front of him?
The bell rings and Yuta fires off on Beef! The ref counts as Yuta has Beef in the corner, but Yuta just ROCKS and CHOPS Beef! Beef pushes back, headlocks, but Yuta powers up and out. Beef cartwheels!? And then he DROPKICKS! The fans fire up with Beef, and he runs in to LARIAT Yuta in the corner! Beef headlocks, then brings Yuta around to JAB! JAB! JAB! “BEEF! BEEF! BEEF!” Yuta just leans into the shots! Beef winds up, but Yuta choke grips! Then ROLLING ELBOWS! Beef staggers, and we see Jon Moxley watching from the back row of the stands, alongside Marina and Pac. Yuta BITES Beef on the forehead!
The ref reprimands, Yuta stops, and he wrenches Beef into a RIGHT ANGLE SLAM! Yuta seethes while Beef flounders. Henry coaches Beef as Beef crawls to a corner, but Yuta stomps a mudhole in! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, but then he grabs Beef by the wrists. Yuta DRAGON STOMPS Beef in the corner! The ref counts again, Henry gets on the apron, but Yuta stops at 4. And then Yuta DROPKICKS Henry down! Yuta glares at Beef, storms up on him, and drags him into the HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Yuta makes Beef a ragdoll! But then, chicken wings, and CATTLE MUTILATION! Beef is OUT, the ref calls it!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by submission
Yuta lets go, and that fury is still raging within him. Moxley smirks, is he pleased with how Yuta is progressing? Or will Yuta’s fury only end up the BCC’s enemy?
Backstage interview with Hook.
Lexy is with the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, and brings up last Wednesday night, we heard the news of the attack on Taz and how that upset Hook. After a few days to process it, Hook has now asked for this time. Hook will keep this simple: Whoever attacked his father, he is calling them out. Spokane, Title Tuesday, no more hiding! Hook tells them to say something to his face! Hook heads out, will he take off someone’s head in Spokane?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly w/ Rocky Romero VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist have had a busy week already, but they’re also riding high from getting one over on “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith. Will they keep things going as… Of course “Smart” Mark has to do the introductions himself. “The Premier Athletes have given a lot of cities an opportunity as of late to be a part of a winning team, and they’ve all failed! But we think the people of Toledo have just high enough IQ to follow along. So when we say, ‘Athletes!’ you say, ‘Rule!’ Nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohhh… ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Gottee!

Cassidy writhes, and Sterling didn’t have to get his hands dirty. Daivari puts Cassidy in for Nese and Nese stomps away. Nese soaks up heat, then drags Cassidy up. Nese bumps Cassidy off buckles, tags Daivari, and Daivari RAMS into Cassidy. Daivari brings Cassidy around, whips him to a corner hard and Cassidy falls. Daivari grabs a leg but Cassidy grabs ropes.

The ref reprimands Sterling, but Cassidy says hold on. Cassidy turns Sterling around, to UPPERCUT! But Nese rolls Cassidy, with tights! TWO!! ORANGE PUNCH!! And then Kyle catches Daivari into the GUILLOTINE! BEACH BREAK for Nese! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly, by pinfall
Daivari’s even tapping out! A big win for The Conglomeration, will Cassidy & Kyle find themselves heading for tag titles at this rate? Will The Sussex County Chicken still be golden after WrestleDream?
Something’s going down backsatge!
The Murderhawk Monster is at it again! He’s just brutalizing random prospects and security! #EverybodyDies! That includes this poor fool that he LAWN DARTS into the production truck! But then in steps Don Callis?! Callis doesn’t wanna interrupt Archer’s workout, but he just wants to know. Is Archer still represented by Jake Roberts? Archer TOSSES this other guy around, and then says yes. Noted. Archer heads out, will Callis make a deal with The Snake to grow the family even bigger and stronger than it already is?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Lexy is with the dual AEW TBS & NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, The CEO! Plus, Kamille. Mone says, “Toledooooo~! Say hello to your C E O.” Lexy wants to start but Mone says Lexy should congratulate Mone, and thank Mone for everything she’s done since joining AEW. Uh, yes, she- And did Lexy not see that beautiful video package of Dynamite’s greatest moments? She did. And so- And doesn’t Lexy know that since Mone’s joining AEW, the money has gone up? See, Mone Corporation is growing, evolving, and is forever changing the game. And with Kamille by her side, Mone is unstoppable.
See, Kamille is more than just a woman. She is The Brickhouse, the strongest, the toughest, and- Kris Statlander steps in. More than a woman, huh? That line sounds familiar. Kris steps to Kamille, and tells her #BornAgainKristen has a match tonight, so you watch it, b*tches. Kris pushes past Kamille, returning the favor from before. Mone gets upset but Kamille has her calm down. They will be watching, but will they like what they see?

Backstage interview with The Beast Mortos.
Lexy is with the menacing minotaur and says that over the past few months, we have seen him build alliances with all sorts of people in AEW. But at Grand Slam, it seemed like he officially joined up with La Faccion Ingobernable. Mortos roars, and in steps Roderick Strong. “BEEEEAST, Mortos. What is going on? You’re supposed to be with us! What’re you doing standing there, fisting with those guys?” Matt Taven thought he and Beast Mortos had something special. That The Kingdom had something special! Mike Bennett wants Mortos to look at him, man to, uh, man-bear-pig? Whatever! Just look at him!
If Mortos thinks he can trust LFI, he’s wrong. He can trust The Undisputed Kingdom. Just look at these faces! Don’t make the wrong choice. The Kingdom leaves, Mortos is conflicted. Who will soon have the muscle that is Mortos on their side?
Kris Statlander VS Zoey Lynn!

We’ll have to check the records to see who beat Zoey Lynn faster, but here comes Mone & Kamille! The CEO does her dance, but it is Kamille who has the mic. Kamille hands it over, though, and Mone smiles as she tells Toledo, to shut up! She has something to say. Mone & Kamille were so “impressed’ by Kris here. But understand that Mone is the Face of the Women’s Division, and the CEO of AEW! That means nobody disrespects her! So Kris will find out next what happens when you mess with Mercedes Mone! Go get her, Kamille! Kamille storms into the ring to stand face to face with Kris again. Kris says okay, chill. But then she fires forearms!
The fans fire up but Kamille BOOTS Kris back! Mone grins, Kamille smirks, but Kris KNEES Kamille! Kamille dragon sleepers, and hits the TWISTING NECKBREAKER! “The Road to Damascus” takes Kris down, and Mone says so much for Galaxy’s Greatest. Will nothing stop Mone & Kamille from conquering AEW? Or is this only lighting a fire within Kris?
Darby Allin speaks.
“Brody King. You accepted my Open Challenge, but all you had to do was ask. But I think I know what you’re trying to do. There is a lot I wanna say to you. I have never pinned you in that ring. ON the independents, in AEW, I have never pinned you in that ring. I put you in a coffin, I thought that was good enough. But no. Tuesday, Dynamite, I wanna see you face to face in that ring. I wanna tell the people a little story here. Everything you have in AEW is because of me. House of Black didn’t get you here, it was me. I was the one that went up to Tony Khan and said, ‘You need to hire Brody King.’
“Yeah. You want everything I have. But you’re gonna have to work really hard to take it from me.” Darby reveals the truth, but will he have to accept that he just can’t beat The King of Death?
BREAKING NEWS for Title Tuesday!
Emi Sakura’s return home to Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, TJPW, has reinvigorated her, and now she’s coming back to AEW to finally win a crown! Will the Queen of Joshi take BOTH of Mone’s belts in a Double Title Match? Or will The CEO never bow down to anyone?

Quen puts Dante up, Zay GAMANGIRIS, and then we get some GIN & JUICE!! Cover, Private Party wins!
Winners: Private Party, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships)
The House is rather beside themselves, because they let Action be a distraction. Will Malakai & Buddy have to make sure this is The End for Top Flight? As for Private Party, now that they have their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, can they win, win, win? Or will The Young Bucks make sure WrestleDream becomes a nightmare?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision here, though it had some bad luck going up against WWE Bad Blood. Whenever it is Rampage folds, Collision should really move to Friday and not be a Saturday show. And it might just be me, but this was another rather talky episode. Though, I did like Archer beating up on randos and Callis trying to recruit him. I also liked that they established Jake Roberts is still Archer’s manager, even though we haven’t seen him much. And very good promo to flip things from last night, Kris getting in Kamille’s face. Kris of course beat Zoey Lynn, but Kamille of course knocked Kris down. They’ll have a great match that will surely establish Kris as Mone’s next challenger.
Though, speaking of, Emi Sakura is coming back to get fed to Mone. But at least Mone is having a title match on Title Tuesday, or just at all. Great promo from The Conglomeration to hype up not just both matches tonight, but also the stories to come. Great match from Willow VS Adora, and I feel like they should’ve done like, “Glamour Cam” with Mariah watching ringside, her reactions were great. Great win for Willow, and combined with Britt’s promo, I figured those two would face off for the title shot. I feel like they didn’t really pace things out well to just suddenly have this match affect the PPV, but well, that’s Tony Khan for you.
Great tag match of Cassidy & Kyle VS Premier Athletes that The Conglomeration of course won. We didn’t get much more in story, though, but the go-home week can help that. Awesome Fatal 4 Way, and Hologram is almost too powerful. But the fans also love him, so I can’t wait to see him primed for a title match after WrestleDream. Very good promo from Yuta with Claudio, and very good match of Yuta VS Beef. Beef is getting really good in that ring, he’s definitely going places. Yuta’s berserker mode is also great stuff, I wonder if he’ll unleash that on Pac for Tuesday.
But something about Claudio’s words to Yuta, it feels like Yuta might end up choosing The BCC, but I kinda hope he “carries on” the legacy of Bryan Danielson. He’s already been gifted the Cattle Mutilation so he could be fighting against The BCC like Sting fought against the NWO. Great vignette from the #FTRunners, and great match from GYV VS Outrunners. Outrunners winning was quite the shocker, I thought GYV would win to compel a rematch with FTR. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Very good match from Darby VS Johnny, which Darby of course won, and great bit making Brody King his opponent for WrestleDream. Not sure Darby needed to give his promo after calling Brody out for Tuesday, he should have just waited for Tuesday. Then Darby can do his reveal of “It was me, Brody! I got you here!” But even then, Darby VS Brody is going to be a hard hitting, gnarly show stealer of a match. And great stuff in that Triple Threat Tag main event, but just as I said last night, House of Black cancels out with Top Flight, Private Party wins. And also like I said last night, I really hope Private Party wins, they kinda deserve their moment.
My Score: 8.8/10

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Private Party, by pinfall
Five years later and it’s another shocker! Perry taunts Shibata with the TNT Championship, but The Bucks do give applause to Private Party. Will The Elite have to be much more careful if they want to keep their gold?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Private Party may have won tonight, but they still need to earn their title shot! They’ll be in a Triple Threat against Top Flight’s Darius & Dante Martin and The House of Black’s Malakai Black & Buddy Murphy! The winners will be the NEW #1 contenders, who will get to live the WrestleDream against The Bucks? Plus, other rising tag teams are in action as the Grrrizzled Young Veterans take on The Outrunners! Will Zack Gibson & James Drake make everyone understand they are SSSSOON to be recognized as AEW’s top guys? Or will the Youngest Men Alive show ’em that they ain’t seen nothing yet?
Then, while Wheeler Yuta is preparing to team with Bryan Danielson against former friends in Claudio Castagnoli & Pac, he is going to have a 1v1 match with BEEF! Will Anthony Henry’s second cousin through marriage just be an appetizer before the main course on Dynamite? Darby Allin may have made an Open Challenge for WrestleDream, he has a Collision with Johnny TV! Will Darby show us all how relentless he is? Or will he find he’s just not #TVReady? If you thought last week’s Lucha Libre Triple Threat was something, this week is a Fatal 4 Way of Hologram, Komander, Action Andretti and Nick Wayne!
Plus, Willow Nightingale is targeting Mariah May and the AEW Women’s World Championship, but she takes on The Infantry’s Trish Adora first. Will The Babe with the Power use The AfroPunk as a tune-up for the title match? Lastly, while The Conglomeration is in action against The Learning Tree’s Branches here tonight, they’ll have to turn right back around to face The Premier Athletes, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Will this whole weekend be Freshly Squeezed?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and notes we haven’t seen Kris in action since her win at All Out. What does she have her sights set on next? Kris says we could all sense that Chicago Street Fight was the end of an era for her. She has been in a group, she has had a manager, and with the anniversary of Dynamite just passing, let’s bring it back to how she started in AEW: on her own. Kris is stronger, more independent, she’s like, a “Born Again Kristen.” We all saw that she is the toughest, the strongest, and- Kamille steps in. The Brickhouse asks if that’s right. Biggest? Toughest? Strongest? Her match is next.
Kamille pushes past Kris, and Mercedes Mone follows. The CEO tells Kris, “You better watch, b*tch.” Mone laughs, did she just put herself on Kris’ radar?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the wacky Aussie and says while she’s in a match tonight with Queen Aminata, does Harley have an update on Saraya after that vicious match with Jamie Hayter? Harley says Saraya is currently incapacitated. No further questions. But what about her match with- NO further questions! Then what about…? Oh, yes, yes, her match. She should say something on that. Harley tells Aminata, “You are in a lot of trouble. RAWR!” That’ll do, right? Sure… Harley heads out, will she take out her frustrations on Aminata tonight? Or is she going to end up “incapacitated” alongside Saraya?
Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Zoey Lynn!
The Brickhouse is The CEO’s big investment, and insurance policy. Will the former NWA World Women’s Champion remind us why she is a former NWA World Women’s Champion? Or can Zoey bring her down with some Angel Dust?
The bell rings and Kamille SPEARS Zoey!! The fans boo but Mone says Kamille has arrived! Kamille drags Zoey up, dragon sleepers, and TWISTING NECKBREAKER! Cover, Kamille wins!
Winner: Kamille, by pinfall
Mone raises Kamille’s hand as they both stand over Zoey Lynn. Between The CEO and The Brickhouse, will no one stop them from taking over AEW?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Queenslayer, and says she had a tremendous showing in her return to AEW last week. It got a lot of people’s attention, but especially Will Ospreay. Anna says yes, Ospreay tweeted out a compliment on how great she has improved, from footwork to pacing, so she thanks Ospreay for that. He’s not too bad himself. Having one of the greatest wrestlers alive today see your hard work paying off is one of the best feelings ever. So if Ospreay sees it, then you know the AEW Women’s Division is seeing it. So if you don’t take her word for it, and if you don’t take Ospreay’s word for it, just do her a favor and try her.
Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie speak.
The Virtuosa says, “This thing of ours operates according to a code. That those who want respect give respect.” La Wera Loca says, “It’s simple, elegant.” Deonna has shown Taya generosity, and Taya accepted it. Despite early missteps, Deonna remains committed to this thing of theirs, because Taya has earned Deonna’s respect by owning the misstep. Taya says there is much to learn for “I” to become “We.” Deonna says that is what is missing in a place like AEW. These two must teach AEW that they are all bound together by the code. Those that want respect must give respect. And those who refuse get it beaten into them!
Queen Aminata VS Harley Cameron!
The One True African Woman may have Serena Deeb in her sights, and the wacky Aussie may have Jamie Hayter on her mind, they both must focus on who is in the ring with them. Will Aminata prove to the Professor that she doesn’t need the lessons? Or can Harley show Hayter that she’s not the only one who hits hard?
The bell rings, the two circle, and Harley KNEES low! Harley headlocks, Aminata powers up and out, then waistlocks. Harley fights the lift, throws elbows, then runs. Aminata gets around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans fire up while Harley hobbles up. Aminata and Harley circle again, Harley gets around to waistlock, but Aminata wrenches out. Aminata wristlocks, brings Harley down, then steps over to twerk attack! Aminata wrenches more, but Harley kicks low! And KICKS again! And ENZIGIRIS! Aminata wobbles, Harley brings Aminata in and, uh, wait, aren’t The Iron Savages the ones who take us to Tiddy City?
Harley runs, but Aminata ROCKS her! Amianta snapmares Harley, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Aminata smiles, and she stalks Harley to a corner. Aminata runs around the world to BOOT WASH! Aminata reminds us she is the one and only, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Aminata pushes Harley around, brings her up, but Harley bails out. Harley says timeout, but Aminata goes out after her. Aminata storms up but Harley KNEES her low, then THROWS her by her hair! Harley CHOKES Aminata on the outside, but Aminata kicks her away. The ref reprimands but Harley grins. Harley storms up on Aminata, SMACKS her off the apron, and then soaks up heat. Harley puts Aminata in the ring, continues to play coy, then storms up to HIP DROP Aminata. Cover, TWO! Harley is annoyed but Aminata fires body shots. Harley CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on a chinlock.
Harley grinds Aminata down, but Aminata endures. Aminata fights up, fights back, but Harley knees low again! Harley bumps Aminata off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, but steps off as the ref counts. Harley bumps Aminata off more buckles, then grinds her boot in. The ref counts, Harley steps back, and she drags Aminata up. Harley brings Aminata around to throw her down by her hair! Cover, TWO! Aminata stays in this, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Harley ELBOWS Aminata in the shoulder! And ELBOWS her again! Harley LICKS Aminata, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Harley overcommitted on that deep leg hook, and Amianta survives for it. Harley runs in, but Aminata puts her on the apron! Harley ROUNDHOUSES, puts Aminata in ropes, and AX KICKS her down! The fans boo but Harley aims, to then run and- NO, Aminata blocks the kick to trip Harley up! Harley hits the apron hard, and Aminata brings her around. DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Aminata puts Harley in the ring. Aminata storms up but Harley fires forearms!
Aminata ROCKS Harley! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Harley falls, jumps back up, but Aminata wrenches and snap suplexes! And LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Aminata stays cool. Aminata runs in again, but Harley avoids the boot wash! Harley RAMS into Aminata again and again, but the ref counts. Harley lets off, huffs ‘n’ puffs, then runs in. Aminata goes up and over, comes back, and she catches Harley’s crossbody! The fans cheer as Amianta swings, but Harley sunset flips through! High stack, TWO! Aminat ais up, she dodges Harley, and scoops again! Harley tilt-o-whirls but Aminata powers her to a BACKBREAKER!
The fans fire up, QUEEN’S CROWN!! Cover, Aminata wins!
Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall
The former #BrainDrain gives Aminata a great win, but then Serena Deeb attacks from behind!! The Professor is pissed, and she SLAMS Amianta’s leg on the apron! Serena grins as she grabs the leg and pulls it against ropes in a HALF CRAB! Aminata taps, but here comes Britt Baker! The Doctor is returning the favor from Wednesday, but Serena bails! The Professor got her shots on Aminata, but will the walls start closing in?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Renee is now with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and Caster is still sporting the remade jacket. With that, let’s talk MXM Collection. It is hard to keep track of what is going on, but Billy speaks up. He doesn’t mean to correct her, but he is “Hans!” Hans Gunn! But MXM, how stupid are you to not know it was Billy? It was Billy all along! So stupid, trying to embarrass The Best Wrestler Alive, try to embarrass The Acclaimed, with a makeover on Caster’s jacket. Y’know what? Caster likes the lace, how it makes his arms look bigger. And this heart cutout makes his muscles look popping! He looks as handsome as ever!
Bowens says that’s right! Before, they were gonna cut that thing up. But no, MXM just embarrassed themselves. Acclaimed said to nut up or shut up, and they sure shut up MXM real quick. Just like they will do if they get in the ring. Because once The Acclaimed is done with MXM, they will get the makeover of a lifetime. WHY? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! When and where will Platinum Max & The Scissor King cut down the Sultan of Suave and the Mahogany Hunk?
BREAKING NEWS for WrestleDream!
After Konosuke Takeshita attacked Will Ospreay and Ricochet on Wednesday, it seems the only way to settle this International Championship scenario is with a TRIPLE THREAT! Will The Alpha finally have gold in AEW? Will the Aerial Assassin finally be done with The Don Callis Family? Or are they both overlooking The One & Only?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!
The Conglomeration has been very busy this week. They were here Wednesday to confront The Learning Tree, and we now have Mark Briscoe VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream. But speaking of, Jericho is joining commentary to watch his guys, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist prune these Branches? Or will they be made to respect Chris Jericho?
The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Bill. The fans rally as Cassidy and Bill stare down, and Bill mocks the hands in pockets. The fans boo, but Bill says show him how it’s done then. Cassidy puts his hands near pockets, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges, sunset flips, but Bill stays standing. Cassidy stops trying, and Bill YANKS Cassidy up! Bill whips, Cassidy stops by holding ropes, and then Casidy bails out. Cassidy shakes his head, knowing his limits against a man as big as Bill. Bill mockingly holds the ropes open and calls to Cassidy like a puppy dog. Cassidy steps up, but then rolls into the ring.
The fans cheer as Cassidy lounges on the mat. Bill storms up but then Cassidy rolls back out of the ring. The fans cheer more while Bill gets annoyed. Bill storms out, Cassidy slides in! Bill steps back in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tags Kyle! Kyle runs up but Bill RAMS him! Kyle drops out of the ring and the fans cheer. Bill is annoyed as he watches Kyle & Cassidy coordinate. They go up, Bill runs up, but The Conglomeration drops back. Bill is getting mad, but The Conglomeration high-five and the fans cheer. Keith says don’t worry, Bill, just cool down. Keith and Bill talk strategy while Kyle finally returns.
Bill tags Keith and the fans rally up. Keith and Kyle circle, but Keith takes a swing on Cassidy! Cassidy avoids it, and Kyel waistlocks to then wrangle Keith. Kyle floats all over, slaps Keith around, then eggs him on. The fans cheer, but Keith frowns. Keith SLAPS Kyel! Kyle storms up, Keith bails out, and the chase is on. Bill is lurking, but Kyel dodges him! BOOT for Keith! But Bill has Kyle with the guzel! CHOKE- NO, Cassidy DROPKICKS Bill! Bill lets Kyle go but he also stays up. Bill frowns, but Kyle BOOTS him, then Kyle FLYING KNEES Keith! Cassidy DIVES and he sends Bill into railing! Kyle pushes Keith into Bill, and then KICKS!
Cassidy “kicks,” Kyle KICKS, and repeat as Rampage goes pictur ein pnicture!
The KICKS and kicks keep going, then it’s just all KICKS as Cassidy gets serious! The Conglomeration puts Keith in, DOUBLE KICK Bill, then Kyle hurries into the ring. Kyle fires knees into Keith, then tags Cassidy. They whip Keith, kitchen sink knee, and basement dropkick! Kyle runs to KNEE DROP, Cassidy runs up, to cover! TWO! Cassidy checks and yes, it was a two count, so Cassidy gives thumbs up. Cassidy brings Keith up, ROCKS him, and tags in Kyle. Kyle climbs up and rains down fists! Kyle goes all the way to TEN, then tags Cassidy back in. Cassidy climbs up, and he rains down fists! Well, just one really. Snapmare, cover, TWO!
Cassidy keeps Keith from Bill with a facelock, then a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Keith stays in this, but Cassidy storms up on him in a corner. Cassidy fires hands, then bumps Keith off buckles. Tag to Kyle and Kyle fires forearms., Keith CHOPS back! And CHOPS again! Kyle hits a double leg takedown! Then some ground ‘n’ pound! And then ARMBAR! Keith has the ROPEBREAK! Kyle lets go quickly, and he whips Keith into the corner. Tag to Cassidy, and The Conglomeration stomps away! Then Cassidy runs to basement dropkick in the corner! Cover, TWO! Cassidy scoops Keith to SLAM him!
Cassidy tags Kyle, Kyle goes up the corner, and he FLYING KNEE DROPS! Cover, TWO! Kyle ties the legs up, sits Keith up, FIGURE FOUR COBRA TWIST CMBO! Cassidy scoots in for a photo op, but Keith endures being twisted up. Kyle makes it a cradle, TWO! Kyle brings Keith around, but Keith fires forearms! Kyle fires a strike fest, then sweeps the leg! Kyle paces around, we get a great shot coming through one of the Pittsburgh University halls, and Rampage returns to single picture. Kyle tags Cassidy, they mug Keith but Keith fights back! Keith suplexes Cassidy, but gets STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE!
Kyle steps up to AX & SMASH! Kyle clinches Keith, Cassidy takes aim, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges Bill, Keith breaks free of Kyle, and Cassidy runs at Keith! Keith ducks the Orange Punch to send Cassidy back at Bill for a HAYMAKER! Keith hits an EXPLODER on Cassidy, but Kyle grabs a leg! ANKLE LOCK!! Jericho shouts to roll out, Keith does roll, and Kyle is sent into a HAYMAKER! Keith waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Tag to Bill and the fans are torn. Bill runs to SPLASH Kyle, then he SPLASHES Cassidy! And repeat! Bill then BOOTS Kyle down! Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges, but runs into the BIG BOSS MAN SLAM!!
The fans fire up with Bill and he tags back to Keith. Keith covers Cassidy, TWO! Keith rains down fists on Cassidy, Bill goes after Kyle! Bill CLUBS away on Kyle, then sends him into Keith’s KILLER KNEE! Keith reels Cassidy in, underhooks, and TIGERÂ KNEE STRIKE!! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy survives and Keith is frustrated. Cassidy flounders to a corner, Keith tells fans to shut up, and he runs in, to GAMANGIRI! Keith hoists Cassidy up top, ROCKS him, then ROCKS him again. Keith drags Cassidy around, goes up the corner, but Cassidy fights with elbows! Cassidy sends Keith tumbling down! Bill runs in, but only gets buckles!
Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls on Bill, but Bill stops the DDT! Kyle slips in, and he dropkicks Bill’s leg! Bill drops to a knee, but he still holds Cassidy up! So Kyle runs in again and push-starts a DDT!! Then a PENALTY KICK!! Bill falls, Keith returns! Keith DECKS Kyle! But Cassidy tilt-o-whirl DDTS Keith! Cover, TWO!!

But then Kyle rolls through to have the ANKLE LOCK!! Jericho panics and leaves commentary! Jericho is on the apron distracting the ref, right as Keith is tapping! Keith crawls to ropes, but here comes Rocky Romero! Azucar YANKS Jericho down and sends him into steel steps! But Bill BOOTS Rocky! Kyle FLYING KNEES Bill! Cassidy runs to DIVE! Down goes Bill at the ramp and hard! Conglomeration hurry to get Keith!
ORANGE ANNIHILATION!! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: Kyle O’Reilly & Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
The numbers game didn’t go how Jericho wanted, and his team is on the losing end! Will this be the same for when The Learning Tree takes on The Sussex County Chicken in Tacoma, Washington? Or will The Ocho still become The Nueve?
Meanwhile, Kyle & Cassidy only have 24 hours to rest, because they have a Collision with The Premier Athletes tomorrow night! Will Pittsburgh be Freshly Squeezed all weekend long?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, which is interesting as there’s word Rampage is going to be shut down for whatever show AEW puts on Fox Sports 1. Honestly, they should’ve been trying hard the whole time with Rampage but whatever. Kamille probably had the shortest squash match in AEW yet, but it was to make a point after she and Mone got in Kris’s face. Kris’s promo was still rather Heel like, but it’s a bit surprising that she and Stokely Hathaway have just parted ways with no real pomp or circumstance. And pitting her against Kamille and Mone would be quite the way to turn her back to Face. Not that Kris’s attitude needs to change, she’d just be Face by default with those two.
Very good promo from Deonna & Taya, this maybe should’ve been given to us a bit sooner, but it also doesn’t really add much to the story. Good promo from Anna Jay, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Good promo from Harley to segue into her match, which was a great match. Like Anna Jay, Harley is really improving, but Aminata still gets a great win. But of course Serena attacks Aminata, and then of course Britt Baker saves Aminata. I feel like we could get a tag match of Britt & Aminata VS Serena and who knows, but it’d be a great opportunity for any Heel to get on TV, maybe have someone actually take Serena up on teaching them things.
Great opening Six Man Tag tonight, definitely higher quality than what they usually put on Rampage. And it was rather surprising Shibata & Private Party took the win here, if only because they also announced that Triple Threat #1 Contenders match during it. I kinda though that news undercut what was going on in the match, regardless of who won. But given the feud between House of Black and Top Flight, I feel like Private Party wins out and they get the tag title match. As it stands, it doesn’t feel like Shibata or Private Party win the titles at WrestleDream, mostly because The Elite might cheat, but it’d be so great if Private Party finally won the big one.
And great main event here, even if this feud of Conglomeration and #JerichoVortex is going a little longer than needed. I really hope Jericho VS Briscoe for the ROH World Championship is the blowoff, and hopefully with Briscoe retaining. Not sure what that would mean for either team, but if it’s what we’ve all been hoping, i.e. Jericho mistreating Bill and Bill turning on Jericho, that’d be nice. Bill can maybe get himself going on a title story, too, using even just one win over Jericho as the springboard towards the TNT or Continental Championships.
My Score: 8.8/10
