PLAY BY PLAY
Adam “Edge” Copeland is here!
Worcester, Massachusetts goes wild as The Rated R TNT Champion gets his pyro before he heads to the ring. Edge is feeling good after coming off his first defense and the return of the Cope Open, and he gets the mic to say, “I see you. I see you. So, uh… I came out here to talk to y’all. I didn’t bring my TNT Championship, I came out here as Adam to talk out here to you. Everybody having fun?” The fans cheer yes, and that’s what he wanted to hear. He wants to have fun, but first, he has to talk about something. He’s been getting a lot of feedback, just like from his mic because it’s live TV, but there’s been some negative BS spewed out there.
But Edge says screw that! Edge wants to talk about the positives. If you’re a fan of pro-wrestling, then it is a great time to be a fan of pro-wrestling because there are a lot of positives. If you’re here, watching at home, or even on social media just to complain, then you’re a fan of pro-wrestling. Edge is a fan of pro-wrestling! He grew up, watched WWF. Don’t boo that, you’re missing the point. This is to celebrate all of it! He watched NWA! Stampede Wrestling out of Calgary! That was where Owen Hart got his start. There was BC All-Star, International Wrestling, and Edge ate it all up because he loves pro-wrestling!
Edge knows the fans have heard this before but bare with him, this is dear to his heart. For nine YEARS, he had this torn away, but he worked to get it back because he loved it so damn much. But when he sat down and started thinking about the end, which let’s face it, he’s closer to the end of his career than the start. But he thought that AEW is where he needed to end his career. A lot of people didn’t understand, but Edge saw the roster, and it was a Murderer’s Row of talent. He has been in some of the best locker rooms of all time, and he’d put this roster up against anyone.
Edge came here to face Will Ospreay! He came here to face Kenny Omega, wish him well. He could face Hangman Page, Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Darby Allin, FTR, The Young Bucks, Buddy Matthews, Brody King and Malakai Black. And by the way, those would all be first-time-ever matches, how crazy is that? The fans love it! Edge says that only happens in AEW. Now, he’s got a lot of friends in the industry, they call him up and say he looks like he’s having a blast. Guess what? He is. This is not hyperbole or knocking any other place. He has had a great career, had fun everywhere he’s been, but this is the most fun he’s had his entire 32 YEARS!
So Edge celebrates AEW! The fans chant for “A E DUB!” in support, and Edge says he celebrates the men who started this place. That means the Bucks, Kenny and Cody! And Tony Khan, too. Those guys are all fans of this, just like Edge, and just like all of us! That ain’t a negative or something to be mocked. They love this! A E W has pushed this industry into a better place! A E W has pushed everyone into a better place! It has given more people a chance to do what they love for a living, and that should be celebrated! A E W makes pro-wrestling better! A E W makes pro-wrestling more fun! And A E W is where the best wrestle!
The fans cheer and Edge says he’s calming down now. No mic feedback, we’re good. Thank you for hearing him out, he had to get that off his chest, he asked for this time here, so thank you. But now, it is time to move forward! AEW is moving forward! AEW is walking into the future! There’s a reason Okada came here! That Mercedes Mone came here, that Ospreay came here, that EDGE came here! So without further ado, let him introduce to us a man that symbolizes everything that AEW will be going forward. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay! The fans fire up as now the #BillyGoat makes his way out here!
Edge called out the House of Black in his list of name drops because their battle will happen at Dynasty, the same night as Ospreay has his dream match with Bryan Danielson. But first, Ospreay gets to shake hands with Edge, then glances at the TNT Championship. Maybe that battle will happen in the near future, but first, it’s another Don Callis Family Feud! It is a Battle of Wills, but whose will proves to be the stronger?

Is Callis only tearing his own family apart like this? But wait, here comes Bryan Danielson. The American Dragon is playing the same games he did with Eddie Kingston not too long ago.

Renee Paquette is on stage.
Dynamite returns and Renee welcomes Worcester back. She also wants them to help her welcome her guest, Lionheart Chris Jericho! Jericho makes his entrance, and Renee says that for weeks, we’ve seen his relationship with Hook. Where are we? What’s the status? Jericho says last week, he told Hook that he had a proposition where he offered to be a mentor. And even though Hook agreed to it, he said something to Jericho has been stuck in Jericho’s head all week. Jericho wants to clarify something, so he wants to bring Hook out. Hit the Hook Signal! The signal shines in the sky, and here comes the FTW Champion!
Worcester cheers as Hook stands on stage with Jericho and Renee, and Jericho has the fans give it up one more time. Jericho tells Hook that last week, when he offered his mentorship, Hook said he’d love that but he also knows who Jericho is. And Jericho gets what Hook meant, as just about everyone Jericho’s ever aligned with or teamed with, they end up in a fight with Jericho. As Jericho’s other theme, Judas, says, everyone Jericho has ever loved, he pushes them away. That is true, but there’s a reason for that. When you play the game at the highest of levels like Jericho does, the rules are different.
And once Hook understands that, then he’ll understand what Jericho is trying to teach him. Jericho isn’t asking for 100% trust right now, but he is asking for Hook to believe in him as much as Jericho believes in Hook. The fans are starting to boo, they don’t really like that. Hook says yeah, he believes in Jericho. He believes in Jericho so much, he got them a match. Saturday Night Collision, right here in Worcester, Massachusetts. The fans like the sound of that! Hook then tells Jericho, he will be keeping his eye on him. Jericho says he wouldn’t expect anything less. Hook’s learning already. They fist bump, and #LionHook is gonna give it a go! Will this be a slam dunk for The Ocho and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?
Shane Taylor Promotions speaks.
Lee Moriarty tells Shane himself that one surefire way to jump straight to the top in one night is you beat the golden child and the first world champion of AEW. Shane says Massachusetts has a great history of fighters, like Rocky Marciano and Marvin Haglin. Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty are gonna add their names to that list. Saturday on Collision, all they gotta do is KO the Ocho & Hook. So tell you what? Your hands can’t hit what your eyes can’t see. And on Collision, #LionHook gets their asses beat by STP! Rumble, bad man, rumble!
Jay White VS Billy Gunn!
After The Switchblade led The Ass Boys on a little breaking ‘n’ entering at Daddy Ass’s house, the challenge was issued and the challenge was accepted! “Stepdaddy Switch” is going to be all alone against The Ass MAN, will he soon regret ever thinking he could fill Billy’s shoes?
Oh wait! Billy’s already right behind White! White turns around and Billy DECKS him! The fans fire up as Billy stalks White down the ramp, CLUBS him down, and then gets him up to whip into barriers!

Billy ROCKS White in return, brings him back to ground level, and then DUMPS him over the barriers. White crawls around ringside but Billy follows. Billy SMACKS White right off the LED barriers!

Billy keeps White from floundering away too far, then suplexes White, only for White to knee free! White RAMS Billy into the barriers, then hurries away! Billy frowns and stalks White, brings him up and SMACKS him off steps! Billy refreshes the ring count again, then lines up a shot! White moves, the kick hits steps! Billy hurries to get White into the ring, but White scrambles out the other side. Billy pursues, so White hurries back inside. White grabs ropes, the ref wants Billy to back off, so Billy lets go. Then Billy clotheslines White up and out! The fans fire up as Billy’s barely even broken a sweat, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks on White, he’s still floundering around, so Billy goes right out after him. Billy stalks White, White wants mercy, but Billy says okay, timeout. NOT!

The Young Bucks arrive backstage.
How fitting that it is raining as Matthew & Nicholas Jackson are here in Worcester. They brought the Rainmaker into AEW, will they be just one match away from making it reign themselves?
Best Friends also arrive.
Orange Cassidy & Trent Beretta not only have Chuck Taylor with them, but Mama Sue is here, too! Will all this moral support be more than enough to make Dynasty Freshly Squeezed?
Renee Paquette is back on stage.
And she tells Worcester that it is time to bring out a ray of sunshine. Give it up for the Babe with the Power, Willow Nightingale! The fans cheer as Willow makes her way out, Kris Statlander & Stokely Hathaway by her side. Renee brings up that last week, she won the Fatal 4 to earn her shot at Julia Hart’s TBS Championship at Dynasty. How is it feeling to have this title match coming? Willow says she is feeling mother FLUFFING great! But what she wants to know is, how is Worcester feeling? The fans cheer, they’re feeling great, too! Willow says hello to all of us at home, she hopes we all feel as great as Worcester all sounds.
But Willow really, really loves this city. For years and years, Willow was busting her butt in this town. The fans cheer that! Willow says she packed into her car, drove up and down the Merritt Parkway, many times with Kris by her side. And they would wrestler across this town at a little place calls The White Eagle. The fans really fire up hearing that name! Willow says it is clearly special to them, and is to a lot of wrestlers. Many of them have left their sweat on those mats, had great nights there. But to Willow, this is a home away from home. This is where she learned who Willow Nightingale is, figured out who she is.
And every time she questioned, “Does a girl like me belong in wrestling?” The fans cheer that yes, she does! See? This is it! Every time she wondered, “if a weird, quirky, ‘unconventional,’ chubby, curvy, freak like me belonged and I could make it, your cheers reassured me.” These applause watered Willow and made her blossom into the woman standing in front of us today. This woman who IS going to be challenging Julia at Dynasty for the TBS title! You have all made her so confident. She is so confident from their love and support, she knows she is going to be the smiling Face of TBS! The fans fire up for that!
Stokely then speaks up to say he’s gonna say something uncharacteristic. Stokely will say something special about Willow! This young lady right here had what the kids would call, “A banger.” She knocked it outta the park! Willow is something special. Week after week after week, she impresses Stokely, and she impresses the entire world! The fans cheer that! But then here comes Mercedes Mone! The fans cheer on the “C E O! C E O!” as she struts out on stage to join everyone. Mone already has a mic of her own to say, “Worcesteeeer~! Please say hello to your C E O. Now, Willow, I can’t wait to watch you tear it up with Julia at Dynasty!”
The fans continue to chant “C E O! C E O!” but Mone says whoever will be TBS Champion at Double or Nothing, Mone’s got next. Because in Vegas, money changes everything! The CEO has called her shot, but is she simply playing mind games? Will she regret putting that fuel on the fire for Willow?
AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals: The Young Bucks VS Orange Cassidy & Trent Beretta!
The EVPs have vowed to take back the tag titles, and so far, it looks like they could do it. But despite being the bosses, they still have to earn their way to the title match! Will Matthew & Nicholas bring the Superkick Party to St. Louis? Or will Dynasty end up #FreshlySqueezed?
The teams sort out and Trent starts against Nick. The two circle, tie up, and Nick headlocks. Trent powers up and out, Nick RAMS him, but Trent stays up.

Penta El Zero Miedo & Alex Abrahantes speak.
Hype Man Abrahantes starts by saying, “Everywhere we go, we feel it. The people are for Penta, and Penta is for the people. And what the people have been asking for is for this multi-time world champion to have gold once again.” Penta then tells Adam Copeland to stop facing outsiders for the TNT Championship, and take on an AEW Original. Next week, on Dynamite! What the people want, what the people need, is a champion that has #CeroMiedo! Tony Khan sends word, Edge VS Penta IS happening!
But also he puts it on the books that Penta will face AAA World Cruiserweight Champion, Komander, this Saturday on Collision! Will Penta go from beating one champion to beating another within the span of a week?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He stands with the table because we are set for the contract signing of the AEW World Championship match at Dynasty, April 21st. First out, the challenger, Swerve Strickland! Worcester cheers for “Whose house?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Prince Nana leads the way and does his dance as The Realest makes his entrance. And of course, THE AEW World Champion, Samoa Joe! The fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” as the King of Wrestling Television makes his entrance. Everyone is in the ring now, and Schiavone thanks them for coming. What an event Dynasty will be, with this match being for the title.
Schiavone knows both men have looked over the contract, now is time to sign on the dotted line. They each get a pen, and Joe decides to sign right away, even as the fans continue to chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Joe then sits back, and as Schiavone addresses Swerve, Joe tells Schiavone to shut up! Fans boo but Joe smirks as he tells Swerve, “We’re out here in front of a lot of people who seem to care about you a lot. So I thought I’d join that group and I’d give you a little bit of advice before you sign this contract.” Joe thinks Swerve is working off bad intel! Joe gets where Swerve comes from, he watched it all!
From Swerve’s career defining blood feud with Hangman Adam Page, where Swerve strung Hangman up with the chain he has draped off his shoulders. Then there was the meteoric rise to not just one but two championship opportunities. And how else could this fairytale end but with the big win and everyone happy and celebrating the new champion? But see, Swerve, that’s the bad intel he’s been working off! Joe’s about to tell this man the TRUTH! “And the truth is, singing this contract, Swerve, is doom and destruction. It is a big mistake, it is a career defining mistake to step into the ring with me right now.”
Joe will put it into terms that a rapper could fairly understand. Joe is going to beat Swerve down so bad, he’ll be mentally scarred like someone who left Diddy’s party too late. The fans go nuts hearing that one! But Swerve doesn’t flinch. Joe then tells Swerve, now that he has the right information, why not do the right thing? Joe motions to the ropes, but Swerve doesn’t budge. Swerve instead takes his mic to say before he signs the contract, he just wants Joe to know he wanted this moment all his life. Swerve dreamt about this moment because he never thought it was possible. The fans duel between “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” and “Swerve’s House!” but Swerve just smirks.
Swerve wants Joe to understand that his destiny is filled with a long, winding road of obstacles. But after Swerve arrived, that feeling is sweet. That journey took him all the way to main-eventing Dynasty! And that is exactly what they’re building here in AEW: a dynasty! With signings like Okada, Mone, Ospreay. Fans chant “MJF! MJF!” but Swerve chuckles. Now, truth be told, this title is bigger than the both of them. Swerve understands the dangers of facing Joe for it. Everything about Joe’s reign has truly been dangerous. He is the definition of a killer, but so is Swerve. April 21st, in St. Louis, AEW Dynasty, Swerve shows Joe he is every bit of that man.
Swerve says he grabs the keys to the Dynasty, and he proves that AEW is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Now run the fade on that, b*tch! Joe shoves Swerve, Swerve ROCKS Joe! The fans fire up, Swerve gets the chain out, and he CHOKES Joe! But wait, Joe just snarls and HEADBUTTS Swerve!! Now Joe has the chain, and he wraps it around his wrist! Joe aims, and STEEL CHAIN PUNCHES Swerve right down!! Nana tries to get Swerve outta there, but Joe swings at him! Nana gets back and Joe rains down steel chain punches right into Swerve’s side and head! Joe roars, storms around, and the fans are torn as he aims again!
Swerve stands, Joe JABS, JABS and JABS! Swerve’s forehead is busted open but Joe batters the chin and cheek! Refs rush in to stop this but the damage has been done! Joe storms out of the ring, Swerve sputters and crawls, but then Joe stops at the ramp. Wait, Swerve still gets the mic and a pen? Swerve laughs?! Swerve tells Joe, “I love this s*it! And if you think that’s all you got, then I’m taking your championship from you.” Swerve USES HIS BLOOD to sign the contract!! The fans tell Swerve he’s sick, and then Joe rushes right back in to KNEE Swerve low!! And then URENAGE through the table!!
Worcester loses their minds as Joe stands over Swerve! Swerve is battered and bloody, but is there a smile still on his face? Joe holds up the title over Swerve and stands right on him, is this the image that closes Dynasty? Or will nothing stop Swerve from fulfilling his destiny?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here with a lot set up for Dynasty. I was very surprised that the matches I thought would be main event weren’t, but then they made the contract signing close and that was some awesome stuff. There’s still two weeks until Dynasty, but this alone says a lot about the math, aka Swerve is totally winning at Dynasty. Then Rosa VS Mariah was a really good main event match, but of course Rosa was winning. Storm being stunned silent was a great detail, too, and their match is going to be great stuff, with the next couple of weeks being very important to the go-home math.
Edge had a great promo to open the show, and you can of course tell it was in defense of CM Punk shooting hard in his interview with Ariel Helwani. And honestly, I do have to side with Edge on this, if only because CM Punk shouldn’t just be putting AEW on blast when he was a good part of the reason why he got himself fired in the end. Not that Punk’s points weren’t right, just that he didn’t need to do it. But to be fair to AEW, AEW really did get the ball rolling on this better state pro-wrestling has found itself. WWE was struggling creatively, AEW was an alternative in the US for wrestlers to go, and while He Who Shall Not be Named got himself in trouble, his ousting opened the way to HHHBK who do understand what makes for good pro-wrestling, so now we might be approaching a point where both companies are at their absolute best.
Really good promo segment from Willow with Mercedes Mone injecting herself into it. And while plenty of fans really like Mone, I certainly got some Heel Heat off her character constantly doing this. And this segment heavily implies Willow will beat Julia to be TBS Champion so that she and Mone can have an awesome match at Double or Nothing. On the flipside of things, Jericho and Hook had an absolutely unnecessary promo tonight. Or at least, they did the promo in a way they didn’t need to. Jericho got upset about how Hook said he knows Jericho’s scheming side? Why not address that in last week’s promo and then just let Shane Taylor Promotions call Jericho & Hook out to set up the match for Collision? Oh wait, the answer is that Jericho just has to get TV time.
Great opening match from Ospreay VS Hobbs, and great follow-up from Bryan VS Archer. Ospreay and Bryan of course won their matches so they’d both have momentum going into their match. Ospreay’s already beaten even in the Don Callis Family, I feel like he should face someone in the Blackpool Combat Club. Moxley could probably take a loss, but pretty sure Claudio will be the guy to take it instead. Then Bryan can face someone in the Don Callis Family like Kyle Fletcher or Konosuke Takeshita. If this is going to be continued “Anything you can do, I can do better,” such a trade of opponents would make sense.
Great stuff out of White VS Billy with them using the space outside the ring quite a bit. In retrospect, I should’ve known Austin & Colten would attack The Acclaimed to then be free to help White against Billy. Now, given the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships just got a makeover, and a really good one at that, I feel like BCG doesn’t need to win the AEW Trios titles off Acclaimed, they just need to defend those belts. In fact, more champions of ROH just need to actually show up on ROH TV. There hasn’t even been word for a trios title match for Supercard of Honor this Friday, so clearly Tony Khan still struggles spinning all the plates, but let’s hope that also changes soon.
And great stuff with the first semifinal of the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament. I figured The Bucks would win but cheating it out like that was perfect for also setting up what I was sensing for Trent. Trent turning on Cassidy was so well done, especially with Mama Sue there to be shocked by her son. I’m really hoping the next part of my prediction comes true and Trent sides with The Elite since he’s a friend of Okada’s via Chaos. Okada’s already got a midcard title in the Continental Championship, but it’d be so fitting if Trent stands in Cassidy’s way of the International Championship, Cassidy’s favorite belt of all.
My Score: 8.9/10

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man.

The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!

Winner: Julia Hart, by pinfall
The tiebreaker goes to Julia, and Aminata is stunned! If the Hart Always Wins, will she make her way back to a championship? Will Aminata decide to take Deeb up on her teachings now?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out.

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around.

Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
