AEW takes a closer look at Kazuchika Okada.
As written by Matthew & Nicholas, narrated by Nigel McGuinness, “It is said that AEW is where the best wrestle. They claim to be the best, but in reality, there is only one. A man that employs every facet of what it takes to be the best. Fact: this man is truly Elite. A global icon possessing charisma and a God-given ability that redefined what it means to have ‘it.’ A true king amongst paupers, his name is Kazuchika Okada. Destiny brought wrestling’s most coveted free agent to AEW to stand alongside your EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, thus forming the most powerful triumvirate in the game, THE Elite.
“Okada wasted no time in capturing AEW gold, overcoming the ferocious Eddie Kingston to become your AEW Continental Champion, thus cementing his place in the hearts of fans as the best bout machine. This is truly the beginning of an incredible journey, and the beginning of a new era in AEW.”
PAC VS Encore Moore!
Well speaking of Okada, The Bastard clearly has his sights set on The Rainmaker and that Continental Championship. Will Pac “start some trouble” until he has what he wants?
The bell rings and Pac BOOTS Encore right down! Pac stomps a mudhole, then digs his boot in! The ref counts, Pac lets off, and he stomps Encore right down! The fans chant “You’re a Bastard!” as Pac bumps Encore off buckles, then runs him corner to corner to bump him off more buckles! Pac whips corner to corner hard and Encore falls to the mat.

Pac stomps Encore again, brings him up, and snap suplexes! Uno Amigo! Pac snap suplexes again, Dos Amigos! Pac then gets Encore up again, for THREE AMIGOS!
Pac stalks Encore while the fans rally up. Encore goes to a corner, Pac runs up, UPPERCUT! Pac shoves Encore down, goes up and the fans fire up! But then Pac hops down, and puts on the BRUTALIZER! Encore taps, Pac wins!
Winner: Pac, by submission
The Bastard doesn’t let go until he’s satisfied, and you can bet Encore doesn’t want any more of that. But then Pac gets a mic to say, “All Elite Wrestling! I told you, I warned you, I am done waiting for opportunities that I deserve. So now, I take matters into my own hands. Make no bones about it, ladies and gentlemen, I am on a mission. A mission to remind everybody exactly who I am! The best bloody professional wrestler on the face of Planet Earth! Therefore, Okada…! Japanese superstar, champion, I’m calling you, bonny lad! So let’s see how big your bullocks are! Do you think you can survive The Bastard? Because I don’t. I will eagerly await a response.”
Pac drops the mic, and waits on The Rainmaker. Will Okada make Pac regret getting what he wished for?
Backstage interview with Bryan Danielson.
Renee Paquette is with the American Dragon and notes we’re just weeks away from Dynasty. We all know how important this year is to Bryan, all the things he is looking to accomplish in his career’s last year, but he is stepping into the ring with one of AEW’s biggest signees ever, Will Ospreay. How is Bryan feeling going into it? Bryan says this has never been about proving if he’s better than anybody else, but about proving where he is in comparison to himself. What is the best version of Bryan Danielson possible? He just uses other people as the measuring stick for that, to see how far he can push himself.
That is actually one of the fears you get in wrestling a guy like Ospreay. Ospreay doesn’t quit, so Bryan kinda goes, “Oh no…” Then when he says “this version of Bryan,” what does that mean to him? Bryan says they’re in this constant wheelhouse of evolving. Bryan is not the same person he was at 21. Ospreay will not be the same person he is when he reaches Bryan’s age compared to now. Renee feels she knows the answer to this but will ask anyway. Bryan talks about their differences, and how he isn’t feeling the pressure. But how much of this match for himself, and how much of this is for the fans?
Bryan says that going through this journey, he isn’t just talking about wrestling but in life, it is all about testing things on himself, and seeing how he wants to live. We get one life as we know it, so how do you wanna live? What are you going to grow into? Who do you wanna be? So Bryan watches someone like Ospreay and gets excited to test himself against him. Bryan was sitting there at Revolution, watching Ospreay face Takeshita. And Jen Pepperman is right there next to Bryan and she goes, “This might be the best wrestler I’ve ever seen!” Right to Bryan! C’mon…!
They laugh that off, but Bryan says he has no doubt the fans will enjoy this. But that’s not why Bryan is doing this. Renee says either way, everyone is looking forward to this match. American Dragon VS Aerial Assassin at Dynasty, what will Bryan learn about himself through this dream match?
Chris Jericho & Hook VS Shane Taylor Promotions!
The Lionheart has the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil’s respect, but is also hoping to gain his trust. Can #LionHook make it work against a team as dangerous as STP? Or will Jericho give in to the Judas in his mind?
The teams sort out and Jericho starts against Shane. They circle, feel things out, test the waters, then Shane powers Jericho to a corner! Shane fires off hands from all sides, and BODY BLOWS low! Then Shane ROCKS Jericho and gets in his face! Shane whips corner to corner, runs up, and clotheslines! Jericho sputters as he sits down but Shane says he ain’t done! Shane fires more shots, whips him corner to corner again, then runs back up. Jericho BOOTS this time, then goes up to FLYING FOREARM! Shane wobbles, Jericho CLUBS away, but then tries to suplex. Shane’s too big so Jericho tags Hook. LionHook DOUBLE SUPLEX Shane down!
The fans rally as Hook brings Shane up. Shane powers Hook back, Lee Moriarty tags in and he stomps a mudhole into Hook! The ref counts, #TAIGASTYLE sneaks some mule kicks in while “apologizing” to the ref. Moriarty drags Hook up to cravat, but Hook gets around and gets under to EXPLODER! The fans fire up as Hook brings Moriarty over and tags Jericho. LionHook mugs Moriarty, then Jericho CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Jericho whips, Moriarty grabs ropes and KICKS back!

Jericho drops to his knees again, but Shane stands Jericho back up. Jericho fires forearms and CHOPS in return! Shane shoves Jericho, Jericho ducks one lariat but not the SOUTHPAW! Cover, TWO! Shane clamps onto Jericho and squeezes tight! Jericho flails, claws at the hold, and fights up to his feet to throw body shots as Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Shane reels Jericho in for an URENAGE! Shane snarls, tautns Hook, then runs to SPLASH onto knees! Shane sputters but that hurts Jericho about as much. Tag to Morairty and he keeps Jericho from Hook with forearms! Moriarty whips, Jericho holds ropes to avoid the dropkick! Then Jericho runs to LIONSAULT! Both men are down, the fans fire up, and Jeircho hot tags Hook! Hook runs up to LARIAT Moriarty, LARIAT him again, then clinch for knees! JUDO HIP TOSS< then a knee, for another JUDO HIP TOSS! Hook wrenches Moriarty, reels him in, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO!
Moriarty stays in this, Shane returns, but Hook dodges to waistlock! Hook lifts but Shane fights that off. Shane shoves Hook, but Hook dumps Shane out! Shane staggers, Hook tags Jericho back in. Hook goes up top to SUPER AX HANDLE Shane! Moriarty BOOTS Jericho, but Jericho dodges the lariat! Moriarty stops the Code Breaker to SOBAT, suplex, FLATLINER! Then BORDER CITY STRETCH!! Jericho endures the chicken wing crossface, and he fights up! The fans rally, Jericho pops free to get the legs! Moriarty flails but still ends up in the WALLS OF JERICHO! Moriarty endures but Shane’s nowhere to be found!
Moriarty still reaches out, so Hook gets in! WALLS OF REDRUM!! Shane runs up, Hook gets him for a T-BONE!! Jericho sits deep, Moriarty TAPS! #LionHook wins!
Winners; Chris Jericho & Hook, by submission
Not just a great win, but great teamwork from Jericho & Hook! WAIT, Anthony Ogogo attacks!? He’s back in AEW as he DECKS Jericho and CLOBBERS Hook!

STP feeds Jericho to the GOLD MEDAL KO!! And Ogogo makes it official, he holds up the banner!
The fans boo but now STP just reached a new level! Shane drapes the banner over Jericho like over a dead body! Is LionHook’s new alliance going to be over already?

Dustin Rhodes speaks.
“Y’know, I keep hearing these days that ‘Dustin Rhodes is underappreciated.’ Y’know what? They’re right. I am. For 36 years of blood, sweat and tears, in front of thousands and thousands of fans all over the world. Every time imaginable, every person imaginable, I have stood across from in that ring. When I was a little boy, probably seven years old, I remember when my dad, Dusty Rhodes, won his first world heavyweight championship. To see him come home and bring the World Heavyweight title and put it down, and when he’s at the dinner table, I walk into his room and I pick it up, and I’m holding this legendary, iconic piece of gold in my hands…
All the while saying to myself constantly, over and over and over, ‘One day, Dustin. One day, I will become World Heavyweight Champion. 36 years later, there’s one thing I have not accomplished and that is become the World Heavyweight Champion. Samoa Joe, although you’re under no obligation to face me, I am asking you, Joe. Give me a chance. I challenge you for the World Heavyweight title on Dynamite next week in Charleston, West Virginia. The last of my kind, there’s not anybody quite like me that you’ve faced. All I want is a chance, all I want is an opportunity. All I want is that World Heavyweight title that I have dreamt of my entire life!
And you can give me that, if you’ve got the balls. Listen to me, Joe. Accept the challenge. Put the title on the line in Charleston, West Virginia. AEW Dynamite, The Natural Dustin Rhodes at 55 years old VS you. And if you do, you won’t regret it. But remember this, son: I’m scared of no man, and you’re nobody different.” The Natural wants that one shot at history, but will he be the one to regret taking it?
Backstage interview with Will Ospreay.
Renee is now with “the man, the myth, the legend,” the #BillyGoat, and she is glad they finally get this chance to sit down and talk. Well, he’s sitting down and she’s sorta leaning. But anyway, he’s been here for just a bit now. Competition wise, he’s already had heaving hitting matches but how does this stack up to what he’s used to from NJPW? Ospreay says that things move quicker, he’s just trying to keep up. But much like NJPW, there is more testing of wills, the grappling, the technique. That is why he feels confident going into this match with Bryan because that is Bryan’s style. Bryan’s whole thing comes from Japan Strong Style.
Ospreay is well-versed in Strong Style because he went there, and did the thing Bryan did not, and that’s conquer NJPW. Then to this match we’re just weeks away from. It is a match everyone has been thinking of and surely Ospreay has also been thinking of, so how is he feeling going into it? Ospreay says while it is an honor to wrestle Bryan, as he grew up watching Bryan, Ospreay doesn’t really view this any differently than he does his other matches. However, Bryan is the top, the S-Tier of pro-wrestling, just on the longevity. Ospreay witnessed it all and to get to have this match, where Ospreay thoroughly believes that Ospreay is the greatest wrestler of the 21st century, he believes he can win.
Ospreay doesn’t quite remember what Bryan was doing when he was 30, but Ospreay knows it was at the highest level. But is Bryan on that level with Ospreay now? Ospreay doesn’t think so. Renee says we’ve seen Ospreay rise to the occasion, have those Match of the Year candidates. Is that what he’s wanting to do in this match? Ospreay is here for a fight, to prove he’s the best. Greatest Of All Time VS Greatest of the 21st Century. Ospreay says no need for more than that. Two of the best wrestlers performing where the best wrestlers wrestle. The Aerial Assassin is more than ready, but will he be able to slay the American Dragon?
Six Man Tag: The House of Black VS Christopher Daniels, Matt Sydal & Bryan Keith!
Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews are preparing for their Rated R showdown at Dynasty with Adam “Edge” Copeland, Mark Briscoe & Eddie Kingston.

Backstage interview with Rocky Romero.
Lexi Nair is with Azucar and says he asked for this time. Rocky says he has won titles from the hallowed halls of Arena Mexico to THE Tokyo Dome. But he has yet to win a title here in AEW. He knows that there are rules and regulations and a ranking system so he can’t just hotshot his way to a title match. But Rocky is asking for an Eliminator Match against the AEW International Champion, Roddy Strong! Cuz there ain’t nobody more international than Azucar! Then we hear Roddy shout, “ROCKYYY~!” Roddy steps in and with The Undisputed Kingdom and asks if they heard what he thinks he heard.
Matt Taven, Mike Bennett & Wardlow surround Rocky, but Roddy tells him to focus on the International Champ. Has Rocky not seen what Roddy’s doing with this title? And on his own, just like his good pal, Kyle O’Reilly. So if Rocky thinks he can beat them- er, Roddy, then that’s laughable. Rocky hasn’t got even a 1% chance. Right, Wardlow? But hey, you can at least tell your grandkids you got beat by a wrestling legend. The Kingdom heads out, but will Azucar go from sweet to spicy when he gets his shot at Roddy?
Backstage interview with #LionHook.
Lexi is with Jericho & Hook now, congratulates them on the big win, but also notes the shocking return of Anthony Ogogo and joining STP to take them both out. What’re their reactions to all of this? Jericho says his reaction is that he’s pissed. LionHook got an impressive win over Shane & Moriarty, but then quite the impressive right hook from Ogogo! STP took them out, 3v2, but that’s okay. That’s the challenge LionHook welcomes, it’s what they want. They don’t have a third man with them, but- Wait, Hook has someone. Really? Yeah, he does. Who? In steps SHIBATA!
The Wrestler uses his phone to translate: Hook, Shibata will have your back against Shane Taylor Promotions. Those guys are going down! Cool? Jericho says bet. They all fist bump, will this trio be more than Shane Taylor Promotions bargained for?
Yuka Sakazaki VS Trish Adora!
The Wrestling Magical Girl returns to AEW! And for her welcoming committee, it’s The AfroPunk! Adora has been building experience across AEW, ROH and even the NJPW Academy, will she show she’s not just a tune-up? Or will Yuka’s incredible energy see her through her first Collision?
The bell rings, the two circle and the fans rally for Yuka. Yuka and Adora tie up, and Adora has the cording hold. Adora wrenches, CLUBS the arm, CLUBS it again, but Yuka wrenches Adora.

Yuka moves around, reaches out, shifts, and has the ROPEBREAK! Adora lets go quickly, then RAMS Yuka in the corner. Adora whips corner to corner, runs up, but Yuka BOOTS her!

Yuka goes up the ropes, for her MAGICAL GIRL SPLASH!! Cover, Yuka wins!
Winner: Yuka Sakazaki, by pinfall
Yuka’s return to AEW after 14 months away is victorious, but wait! Serena Deeb is here? The Professor of Professional Wrestling struts her way out, and she applauds Yuka’s win. Is Deeb going to show the Magical Girl the power of scientific wrestling?
Matthew Menard and Daniel Garcia speak.
Daddy Magic wants us to take a look at the Dragonslayer here. Daniel Garcia from Buffalo, New York, 25 years old and cashing checks! But the scary part about it is, Garcia’s barely begun to scratch the surface. He’s not even in his prime yet! Last night, big win on Rampage, no doubt about it. But a win like last night, they’re expected. And they want more! Garcia says that he isn’t a Young Boy, he’s not a rookie. It did seem like that was gonna be all he’d be, and he was worried about it, he won’t lie. But now, he is motivated by seeing people in the full prime of their careers. Like Konosuke Takeshita, Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay.
Wrestlers like them inspire and motivate Garcia because they are some of the best to ever do this. But Garcia feels it is time he gets in on the conversation. And he will have his guy by his side. They’re coming for more, let’s get it! When and where will Garcia get his chance to shine under the same spotlight as the greats?
Claudio Castagnoli VS The Butcher!
The Swiss Superman is back on Collision after the Blackpool Combat Club went south of the border to take on CMLL. But will he still be hungry for competition after this? Or will The Butcher give him his fill with just one serving?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Butcher puts Claudio on ropes. Claudio turns things around, they keep going around, and then Claudio as Butcher on ropes. Claudio lets off cleanly and the fans applaud. The two reset, tie up, and Claudio headlocks. Butcher powers out, they RAM shoulders, and Butcher headlocks.

Claudio runs in but Butcher dodges, shoves Claudio and BOOTS him! Then a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Butcher hauls Claudio right up to suplex high and hard! Butcher fires up, the fans are a bit more torn about it, but Butcher KNEES Claudio in the back. Butcher CLUBS Claudio, CLUBS him again, then ROCKS him in the back.

Butcher is a ragdoll as he goes around and around, all the way to TEN! Claudio brings a dizzy Butcher up, reels him in, and Gotch Lift NEUTRALIZERS! Cover, Claudio wins!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall
Butcher was a lot of beef to battle, but the BCC’s Swiss Superman was able to chew him up and spit him out! Will Claudio find his way to establishing his own Dynasty soon enough?
Julia Hart speaks.
With Skye Blue by her side, The Princess of the Black Throne says that the only thing for certain around here is that this TBS Championship is hers. And the next time you address this championship, you address her, the reigning and defending champion. Willow, so glad you can look back on your past and make people smile. But that smile is going to disappear. The end of this story is near. And Mercedes Mone, why are you wasting your time? We know the outcome. Julia’s beaten Willow not once, but twice. So why not just roll the dice with Julia, the Keeper of Secrets, and the Forever Face of TBS?
However, Julia is forgetting that next week on Rampage, she faces a LEGIT challenger! Will Leyla wipe the smug smile off Julia’s face as she takes her throne? Or will The House Always Win?
Samoa Joe speaks.
“The biggest obstacle of being world champion is managing perception. How those around you perceive you, and how they perceive themselves. And it seems like a few people around here have some jilted perceptions. Dustin Rhodes, don’t think that your words went unheralded. You walk around with a camera and you talk big. You tell your story about what you dream about, about who you are, how tough and what you’ve done. Then why aren’t you standing here, Dustin? It seems like the things that you want, you forgot how to get, and I HAVE THEM, Dustin! And men like you, your biggest problem is, you don’t possess the one asset you need to survie around here, and it’s fear of me.
“So Dustin, I will not give you what you want, you don’t deserve a championship title opportunity. But I will give you the fight that you want. In fact, I’ll even sweeten it. If you beat me, Dustin, I will make you the number one contender. Just know what you serve as now is an example to everyone who speaks up and says my name. There will be consequences, there will be pain, and Dustin… you will set that example for me.” The King of Wrestling TV has spoken, will he grind Dustin into dust?
Penta El Zero Miedo VS Komander!
The Man with Zero Fear certainly shows it every time he is in the ring, and he doesn’t even fear facing an amigo juts to send a message to Adam Copeland ahead of their TNT Championship match. Will Penta and Komander still be on good terms after this Collision?
The bell rings, the fans rally for “CERO! MIEDO!” and Alex Abrahantes is here in both men’s corners technically. Komander and Penta circle, feel things out, then tie up. Penta shoves Komander away, Komander comes back and Penta waistlocks. They switch and switch, then Penta kicks low! Penta KICKS and KICKS, but Komander uses that to roll Penta up! TWO, and Penta denies an arm-drag, only for Komander to avoid a leg drop! Penta ducks the Penalty Kick to roll Komander up, TWO! The fans rally for “Lucha Libre!” as Komander sweeps to cover, ONE! Penta sweeps to cover, ONE! Both men kip up and the fans fire up!
Komander and Penta nod and smile as they reset. Komander offers a handshake, and the fans cheer. Penta takes it, only to say “CERO!

Penta brushes that off and eggs Komander on. Komander CHOPS again, so Penta CHOPS him down!
Penta has the fans all fired up, and Penta brings Komander up. Penta hushes everyone, winds up extra, and he KICKS the legs out! The fans fire up while Penta swaggers and Collision returns to single picture. Penta brings Komander up, whips him to ropes, but Komander rolls off Penta’s back! Komander runs, tilt-o-whirls and keeps going, to then RANA Penta out! Komander DIVES and direct hit at the ramp! The fans fire up while both men are down on the outside!

Penta GAMANGIRIS, then runs to triangle jump, APRON DESTROYER!!! Komander is somehow on his feet! Penta runs up, but Komander back drops him to the ramp! “This is Awseome!” as the ref has to check both men!
Both luchadores are somehow okay to continue, so the ring count climbs. The count is 5 of 10, then 7! Both men rise, hobble over, and they slide in at 9.5! The fans cheer, as does Abrahantes! Penta says he needs this more, and the two go face to face. They fire forearms back and forth! Penta eggs Komander on so Komander fires shots! They go faster and faster, then Penta CHOPS!

Winner: Penta El Zero Miedo, by pinfall
The beautiful shooting star was turned into a destructive lung blower, and Penta takes this win right away from Komander! And then Edge walks out on stage, title on his shoulder. Edge nods and Abrahantes says Penta will be champion! Penta has zero fear, but will he be ready to get Rated R?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision here, though with a lot of wild and certainly interesting moves. LionHook was of course winning tonight, but great to see Ogogo back and joining Shane Taylor Promotions. Then Shibata joining Hook and Jericho against STP is rather surprising but it works since Shibata is a mutual friend of Hook’s through Orange Cassidy. Good promo from Julia to hype this TBS Championship story with Willow and Mone but it feels like all the more reason Willow is winning so it’ll be Willow VS Mone at Double or Nothing. And of course Pac won his match tonight, though great name in “Encore Moore.” Okada got a really good video package, and Okada VS Pac is going to be awesome stuff for sure.
Yuka of course won her return to AEW, but Adora gave her a really good match. Deeb essentially calling out Yuka by showing up is another interesting move, given how Deeb sounded like she really wanted after some bigger competition. Maybe this is to simply give Deeb and Yuka both something to do while waiting on the title stories. Claudio VS Butcher was solid stuff, but of course Claudio won. Rocky Romero had a really good promo segment with The Undisputed Kingdom, Roddy VS Rocky will be good stuff, but with Taven, Bennett AND Wardlow watching Roddy’s back, Rocky’s got not real hope of winning the title eliminator.
Dustin had a really good promo and Samoa Joe had a great promo in response, their title eliminator will be great stuff but with Swerve Strickland set for Dynasty, no way Dustin earns his title match here. I feel like Dustin might need to go to ROH if he wants a world championship, and even then, I don’t see that happening now that (Supercard of Honor spoilers) Mark Briscoe won to carry on Jay Briscoe’s legacy. But speaking of Mark, great integration of stories as Mark, Edge and even FTR go after The House of Black, and even get into it with The Bucks. FTR VS Top Flight was an awesome tag match, but of course FTR won to give us FTR VS Bucks Part 4 at Dynasty.
And then speaking of Edge, Penta VS Komander was an awesome main event for Penta to bring momentum into the TNT Championship match. Now, I don’t see Edge losing on TV, and certainly not so soon after getting this title off Christian Cage. But hey, Penta’s going to give Edge an awesome defense, and then surely after Dynasty, Edge and Malakai can fight for the TNT Championship at Double or Nothing. Oh, and of course, great promos from both Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay. It doesn’t change whatever math or momentum is going on, but it does help put the story of this match into some new perspectives. Both men are definitely on a Mount Rushmore of their own, their match at Dynasty is easily Match of the Year candidate already.
My Score: 8.7/10

Zero Hour – Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
“Smart” Mark stops Arkady Aura from even starting as he introduces his team of Josh Woods, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. They have decided to let these Chicago losers take part in a winning team for once with a team building exercise. Even low IQ individuals can follow along. When Sterling says, “Athletes,” you all say, “Rock!” Nothing else! Hands in! Ohhhh~! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling is already furious! But here comes Team Texas, just as we saw them last night on Collision! Will The Natural, The Spanish God and the cyberspace luchador prove these Premier Athletes aren’t ready for the gold?

The Babe with The Power is the one who decided that she and Kris, the women who’ve been in the most Street Fights in AEW history, should end this in a Street Fight, but will she come to regret that?

The fans boo, but Kris picks up her “Barbie!” Kris aims the bat at Willow and swings! Willow dodges, and she SMASHES Kris with light tubes!!!

This was his first big PPV defense. If Pac wants a rematch, then come find him. But Ospreay is sure a certain someone was watching. He hopes that person isn’t watching anymore and he pulls his finger out to get his payday. Yeah, Ricochet, Ospreay knows you’re backstage! But oi oi, here he comes! Ricochet says he’s just having a good time, why’s Ospreay gotta talk trash? Ospreay says it’s cuz Ricochet just go there, he can’t just collect the checks to earn that money.

Ricochet says fine, he’s got ’em lined up. See you real soon, Champ. Get better. When and where will we see these old rivals go another round in the ring?

A great debut on Rampage for Hologram, a great win overall for the ROH World Tag Team Champions, will they keep this going until they’re dripping with gold?
The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!
It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?
Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?! Well, what do you expect from modern fashion these days? Anyway, the teams sort out, and the Iron Chic starts against the Aussie Juggernaut. The fans bark for the House of Black, and Mansoor dodges Buddy. Mansoor struts, POSES, and calls for a score. Tens across the board! Buddy scowls, waistlocks, Mansoor switches, but Buddy switches. Mansoor switches again, shoves, and POSES! Another score of tens across the board! Feels like they’re a bit biased, though…
Buddy and Mansoor tie up, Mansoor waistlocks, Buddy switches, but Mansoor ELBOWS free! Mansoor runs, sunset flips, but Buddy stays up! Buddy drags Mansoor up, TOSSES him, then blocks a boot! Buddy swings on Mansoor but Mansoor stays in the ropes! The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and the judges give Buddy all threes! Yeah, definitely biased. Mansoor headlocks, Buddy powers out, and they RAM shoulders! Buddy doesn’t budge, and he headlocks for a takeover! Mansoor headscissors, Buddy kips free, then he avoids the sweep. Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!
Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in.

Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!
But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody drags Mansoor up to run and RAM him into railing! Brody CHOPS Mansoor against apron, Buddy says ten! The fans cheer, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Brody kicks Mansoor into the ring, drags him up, and CHOPS!

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10
