Zero Hour – AEW World & ROH World Trios Championships Winners Take All: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn VS Bullet Club Gold!

Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Daddy Ass have had it with the Bang Bang Gang! Betrayal over greed was one thing, but Jay White helped Austin & Colten break into Billy’s house, after they broke Darby Allin’s ankle! But of course, Platinum Max has a diss track! “It’s the scissor guys from the Six Man Division. We’ll hit you little p*icks with that circumcision! In America, Jay White’s just an opening act. All the fans like, ‘Yo, nobody told me he’s whack!’ I sent you right back to Korakuen Hall. You like to choke on the mic? You can choke on these balls! It’s the three man Dynasty running the game. In St. Louis, everybody loves The Acclaimed!”

Bowens wants his turn but Caster shouts out the other Max with “Cut my music, cut my music! Yo.” “Yo.” “Yo!” “Yo!” “YO!” “YO!” “Listen… Switchblade, you had to grow a beard, you got a kid’s face. Lookin’ like you hang outside of the six grade. Talkin’ to these kids like ‘I made you a mixtape!’ Your hype is all fake like the Donald Trump piss tape.” Bowens says okay, careful now, but he also says Caster can keep going. “Yo, I’ll treat you like a light, Switchblade’s what I switch. I’ll fulfill your fantasy and I’m a make you mah b*tch. Yo, this dude’s just making me sick, I’ll violate you so bad, you’ll have to tell the legal team about the taste of my-”

On this night, for every chase pursued, an opportunity. For every path taken, a moment to create… a Dynasty.”

SUPER STEINER, but Ospreay lands through!! The fans are thunderous as Ospreay dusts himself off.

Ospreay eggs Bryan on, then BOOTS his lariat! HOOK KICK, underhooks, TIGER DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay shakes out the arms and puts Bryan in a drop zone. Ospreay climbs, but Bryan trips him up! Ospreay gets stuck on the corner, Bryan climbs up behind him! But Ospreay throws down elbows! Bryan just throws down elbows in return! Bryan chicken wings one arm but Ospreay flails to resist! Bryan gets the other arm, brings Ospreay way up, for a SUPER TIGER SUPLEX!!! Ospreay flounders, clutching his neck, and the fans lose their minds again! Even Callis stands up out of his seat after that one.

The ref checks Ospreay but he’s somehow okay to continue. Bryan covers, ROPEBREAK!! Ospreay survives by a literal foot, but Bryan stays focused. Bryan KICKS Ospreay in the side, then KICKS the arm! And KICKS! And KICKS! Ospreay falls over but he slaps feeling into his arm. Ospreay sits up as he shakes his head, so Bryan PENALTY KICKS him down! Ospreay snarls, sits back up, and the fans fire up! Bryan PENALTY KICKS again! Ospreay sits right up! Ospreay eggs Bryan on again, so Bryan SLAPS him! Ospreay DECKS Bryan with a forearm! The fans are thunderous and Ospreay shakes his bad arm out.

Ospreay KICKS and stomps away at Bryan, rains down palm strikes, but the ref backs him off. Ospreay goes out after Bryan on the apron now, and reels him in. The fans freak out as Ospreay underhooks, but Bryan holds onto ropes! Bryan pries his way free, to KICK Ospreay in the chest! And KICK! And KICK, but Ospreay blocks! Ospreay CLUBS the leg, HOOK KICKS, then goes up the corner! APRON OSCUTTER!!! The fans are thunderous again while the ref checks Bryan. Somehow Bryan is still in this, so Ospreay takes aim. The fans chant “WE’RE NOT WORTHY!” like they’re Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar.

Bryan stands, Ospreay runs up, FLYING HIDDEN BLADE!!! Ospreay wipes out Bryan and almost takes out the ref with him!! The fans lose their minds, the ref reprimands, but Ospreay goes for Bryan. Callis says it himself that Bryan is dead weight, so Ospreay leaves Bryan behind. Ospreay lets the ring count climb, Bryan stands at 5 of 10, only to fall over! The count is 7, 8, and Bryan flounders! Bryan gets in before 9, but Ospreay goes COAST2COAST! And then POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO!?!? Callis is frustrated for Ospreay but the fans are thunderous again! “This is Wrestling!” as Ospreay powers up and aims.

Bryan sits up, into the BUZZSAW! And HEEL KICK! Ospreay goes to the ropes to springboard, but Bryan catches him!! Bryan turns Ospreay over, but Ospreay rolls and high stacks! TWO, deadlift, but Bryan shifts to a GUILLOTINE!! Ospreay is in the body scissors, but he powers out! Bryan slips free of the suplex to LA MYSTICA! And then LEBELL LOCK!!! Ospreay flails, endures, but Bryan pulls back on the hold! Ospreay fights, claws at the mat, and the fans rally as hard as they can! Ospreay reaches out but Bryan gets that arm to make this a RINGS OF SATURN! Ospreay still endures, and again uses his legs for the ROPEBREAK!!

The fans are thunderous as Bryan has to let go again. The fans again hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” and maybe they will after all! Bryan and Ospreay rise, and Bryan KICKS! And KICKS! And KICKS! “YES!” “NO!” “YES!” “NO!” Bryan aims, to BUZZSAW! The fans are torn but they’re all standing as Bryan runs in, only for Ospreay to catch him! Bryan throws down elbows, but Ospreay fights the rana off! Ospreay POWER- RANA!!! Cover, TWO!!!! Ospreay escapes, swings, but into a full nelson! Ospreay breaks it, victory rolls, TWO! Bryan has it, TWO! Bryan brings Ospreay up to GERMAN SUPLEX, but Ospreay lands out!?

But Bryan ducks the Hidden Blade! BUSAIKU KNEE!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?!? Ospreay survives again and the fans are electric! Bryan is too tired, he can’t even be shocked about it! The fans are again cheering “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this match a reality. Bryan stands and the fans know: It’s time to kick Ospreay’s head in! Bryan gets the hands, and he gives Ospreay the DRAGON STOMPS! “YES!” “NO!” “YES!” “NO!” “YES!” “NO!” “YES!” “NO!” Bryan then drops into the omoplata, but Ospreay fights the LeBelle Lock! Ospreay moves around, pushes into Bryan, but Bryan powers him down, and fishhooks his way to the crossface!

Ospreay powers up, powers through, and he rains down forearms! But Bryan powers Ospreay back to the omoplata! Ospreay still fights through and he rains down forearms! Bryan’s own arms drop, but then he drags Ospreay into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Ospreay deadlifts to POWERBOMB, but Bryan holds on! And he rains down elbows on Ospreay! The fans continue to duel, “YES!” “NO!” “YES!” “NO!” But Ospreay deadlifts, steps over, STYLES CLASH!!! But he can’t turn Bryan over, he’s that tired! The fans are electric again as Ospreay slowly stirs to life. Bryan sits up in a daze, and the two men find each other.

Ospreay and Bryan go forehead to forehead, give junkyard dog headbutts, or perhaps goat headbutts. Then they start firing haymakers! “YES!” “BRUV!” echoes out, but then Bryan HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS! But Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks! Bryan SLAPS back! And SLAPS again! And fires palm strikes from all sides! Ospreay is on noodle legs, Bryan gets him in, SHOULDER CAPTURE PLEX! Ospreay rises!! HIDDEN BLADE!!! But Ospreay isn’t done there, he calls his shot! Springboard, OS- BUSAIKU KNEE!!! Both men are down again and while the fans cannot believe it, they are loving it!

A standing count starts as both men stir. We pass 5 as Bryan goes to a corner. Bryan sits up at 7, and the “YES! YES! YES!” begins again. St. Louis is torn, but Ospreay goes to the other corner. Ospreay stares Bryan down as he takes off the elbow pad. This has turned to a showdown at high noon, and the fans are dueling as hard as they can! Both men run in, HIDDEN BLADE HITS FIRST!!! And then Ospreay underhooks Bryan, for the TIGER DRIVER 91!!!! Ospreay is roaring, the fans are going nuts and Bryan is writhing from being dropped right on his head! The ref calls for Doc Sampson!? But Ospreay doesn’t care, HIDDEN BLADE!!!!! Cover, Ospreay wins!!!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall

The Aerial Assassin respects The American Dragon, but he shows no mercy for him! The medics get in there to check on Bryan after that brutal finish, and even Callis is concerned. Ospreay realizes after that Bryan is in excruciating pain. Ospreay slayed the dragon, but did he just cut Bryan’s last year short?

 

Vacated AEW World Tag Team Championships Ladder Match: The Young Bucks VS FTR!

Matthew & Nicholas Jackson have been trying to deflect on why they lost at All In London 2023, but it’s hard to say anyone is buying it. Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood don’t even care about that day anymore, they’re more upset about how the EVPs have let power and authority go to their heads. Will FTR humble the Bucks once and for all when they bring down these belts? Or will Matt & Nick prove that they’re the real #TopGuys?

The introductions are made, the belts are already high above, and we see who are THE Three-Time AEW World Tag Team Champions!

The bell rings and the fans rally up behind FTR while booing The Bucks. The Bucks SUPERKICK but FTR block! FTR fires off hands, Dax putting Matt in a corner and Cash putting Nick on ropes. Cash UPPERCUTS Nick, Dax hurries over and they double whip, but Matt CLOBBERS Cash to stop Shatter Machine! Nick sunset flips, he and Matt set up, E V P- KNEES MEET as Dax ducks! Cash goes up, DOUBLE FLYING LARIATS! FTR hurry to fetch ladders, but the Bucks ROCK them first! Matt rains down fists on Cash, Nick sends Dax into barriers! The fans boo but Matt throws Cash into the LED apron while Nick soaks up the heat.

Dax fires hands on Matt, whips, but Matt ducks ‘n’ dodges, to go up the ladder! Dax hurries after him, but Nick is there to CLUB Dax! Cash returns to drag Matt down!

The fans boo as the Bucks fold the ladder up, to RAM Cash down! Matt puts the ladder in the ropes, Nick fetches Dax, and Nick ROCKS Dax with a right hand.

Matt kicks Dax, runs, but Dax BACK DROPS Matt onto the ladder! The Bucks are both writhing, and Cash brings out TABLES!

Dax crashes, taking a hit from the ladder, too! Nick PENALTY KICKS Cash from the apron! Cash flops onto the ladder, and now Matt lifts that one! Nick goes from the apron to CANNONBALL onto Cash and the ladder! Nick clutches his back, Matt shakes out his hands, but the Bucks still get the ladder in the ring. They stand it up, but Dax manages to get in the ring, too! Dax drags Nick down, CLUBS Matt’s legs and ROCKS him! But Nick CLUBS Dax!

The Bucks mug Dax, DECK him, and then Nick goes out to grab a chair. We’re now in TLC territory, and Dax is busted open! Matt shows it off to the fans before he ELBOWS Dax in the head. Nick SMACKS Dax with the chair! Matt has a chair now, he SMACKS Dax! The Bucks kick Dax around, then they bring him over to the shorter ladder. They put Dax inside the ladder, pressing it down on him, and Nick SMACKS away with the chair! Cash returns so Nick CHUCKS the ladder into his face! The fans boo but the Bucks soak up the heat. Dax sputters through the crimson mask as he crawls out of the ladder.

The fans boo as Nick leans the ladders in the corners. The Bucks double whip Dax hard into the ladder, and the ladder even falls onto Dax! The Bucks mug Cash now, and whip him hard into ladder! Cash bounces off and writhes around while a ref checks Dax’s wound. The Bucks soak up more heat, and Matt rains down fists on Dax’s bloody forehead! Nick goes out to bring out another table. He has an idea, so Matt joins in. They set a ladder bridge up between apron and timekeeper’s area. They mug Dax, bloody as he already is, and they double whip Dax into the bridge! Dax flounders and sputters, and the Bucks go to get Cash.

The Bucks double whip Cash, but he slides under! Cash RAMS the ladder into the Bucks, goes up onto the ladder, and he ASAI MOONSAULTS off it! Cash takes out The Bucks, and it seems FTR’s done away with the days of “No Flips, Just Fists.” Cash puts Matt on the ladder bridge, stands him up, but Nick trips Cash up! Cash falls into the rungs, right on his Revival! The Bucks then get on the ladder, sit Cash up, E V P TRIGGER!!! Cash flops out of the ladder, The Bucks soak up the heat, and they go back to the ring. Dax is there with a ladder but Matt kicks him low! Matt bumps Dax off buckles, then throws hands.

Dax flops into the ropes, Matt and Nick coordinate again. Matt moves the short ladder aside so he and Nick can bring Dax to the ropes. They double suplex, but Cash makes the save! FTR DOUBLE SUPLEX The Bucks! Cash rallies with haymakers, then whips! Cash gives Matt a back drop! Cash whips Nick but Nick reverses, but Cash ducks ‘n’ dodges! Nick leaps but into a POWERSLAM! Cash roars and the fans fire up! Cash gets the tall ladder and he stands that back up under the belts. Cash climbs, but Matt hurries after him! Matt YANKS Cash down, climbs up, but Cash Electric Chair Lifts! Dax is up top, STEINER BULLDOG!!

The fans cheer as Dax drags himself back up. Dax sputters, but he sees he’s the only one standing. Dax paces around, gets Matt’s legs, and he steps through! SHARPSHOOTER! Cash positions the ladder so that it pins Matt down! Cash climbs, but Nick SUPERKICKS Dax! Nick then hurries after Cash and throws hands! Cash falls off the ladder, but Dax is back to YANK Nick down, into a SLINGSHOT SITOUT POWERBOMB! But Matt SUPERKICKS Dax! Matt runs at Cash, Cash puts him on the apron! Cash runs to DIVE and send Matt down through table and railing!! Nick hurries after Dax, but Dax kicks low!

Dax reels Nick in, but Nick RANAS Dax down through a table!! Everyone is down around ringside, this is becoming a human demolition derby. Nick and Cash return in the ring, but Nick gets the short ladder to stand it up next to the other. Nick climbs both ladders and he throws hands on Cash! Cash hits back, but so does Nick! Matt and Dax are back somehow, and they go after each other, as well as after Cash and Nick! The four men brawl, grab for belts, and Cash falls! Dax DECKS Nick, but Matt SMACKS Dax off rungs! Matt reaches up but the belts are moving around! Dax shakes the ladder, pulls a shoe off, and then SHATTER MACHINE!!!

Nick crawls, he has a chair, and he JAMS Cash with it! And he JAMS Dax with it! Nick SMACKS Cash, SMACKS Cash again, then leaves him behind. Nick drags the short ladder to a corner, so he can SMACK Cash off the tall one! Nick then puts the tall ladder in another corner. Nick stomps Cash, climbs a corner to then climb the ladder, but Dax hurries up after him! Dax throws hands on Nick, Cash climbs the taller ladder! The fans fire up as we get a SUPER DUPER POWER, and a SUPER DUPER GLORY!! The fans are thunderous while all four men are down again! FTR regroup and they get the short ladder under the belts.

Dax intercepts Matt but Matt still fights around. Matt powers Dax into the ladder and tips it over! Cash HOTSHOTS off ropes, then Matt SUPERKICKS him! Matt TOSSES Dax out, but Dax trips Matt up! Dax SMACKS Matt off the ladder bridge! And again! Nick has Cash on a table! Nick goes up a corner, but Dax has Matt on the bridge! Nick 450 SPLASHES through the table!! But then Dax LADDER PILE DRIVERS!!! The bridge gives way, that’s bad for both men! The fans are losing their minds at this pure carnage! “This is Awesome!” as Nick and Dax each get out of the respective piles of wreckage. Dax gets in the ring first, and he brings a ladder around.

Dax climbs, but Nick springboards up to join him! Nick then SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS Dax down!! Dax is dazed while Nick goes to the ladder and climbs! But Cash is back! Cash drags Nick down, dodges a lariat, then clotheslines Nick up and out of the ring! Nick grazes a ladder that was sitting there on the apron, but he still stands back up. Cash builds speed, DIVES but through a table!! Nick avoids disaster but Cash crashes ‘n’ burns! The fans lose their minds again after seeing another human car crash! Nick drags himself back to the ring where Dax is getting a ladder up again. Dax drags himself up but Nick follows!

The fans chant “Please Be Careful!” and maybe they should’ve started with that. Nick and Dax throw hands, Nick grabs for a belt! Dax ROCKS Nick, Nick ROCKS Dax! Each man grabs for a belt, but then they throw hands again! Dax SMACKS Nick with a belt!! The fans are thunderous, but that’s because a man in a Sting mask jumps into the ring! The man SHOVES the ladder over! Security grabs him, unmasks him, and it’s JACK PERRY!!! The Scapegoat smiles and fans are losing their minds! Nick smiles, too, as he climbs the ladder, and brings down a belt! The Bucks win!!

Winners: The Young Bucks (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Jack Perry returns from NJPW, and even breaks the law, all to help Matthew & Nicholas!! The Bucks are the first THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions thanks to Jack, will the EVPs return the favor by bailing him out?

 

AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe VS Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana!

The One True King of Wrestling Television? Well, hard to argue with Samoa Joe considering he willingly gave up the ROH World Television Championship so that he could reach the highest heights. The Realest is taking aim at those same heights, and when you come for the king, you best not miss. Will Swerve hit the killshot on Joe? Or will there be no stopping Joe’s reign of terror?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who makes this their Dynasty!

The bell rings and the fans are fired up again as the two circle. “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” echo out, and the two tie up. Joe powers Swerve to a corner, grinds his forearms in, then lets off to say this is HIS house. The fans boo but Joe just smirks as he and Swerve reset. The two go again, Joe powers Swerve to another corner but Swerve turns it around. Swerve lets off slowly, but Joe and Swerve each take a testing kick. The two reset, feel things out, then Joe KNEES low! Swerve sputters as he drops to his knees, but Joe brings him up to CHOP! Swerve staggers to a corner, Joe storms up and whips him corner to corner.

Joe runs up but into a BOOT! Swerve goes up, leaps, but Joe steps aside. Except Swerve counted on that! Swerve lands on his feet, and DROPKICKS Joe down! The fans fire up as Swerve outsmarts Joe, then builds speed, to DIVE! But Joe catches Swerve to URENAGE onto the desk! Joe is furious, and he CHOPS Swerve right off the desk! Commentary moves aside so Joe can fetch Swerve, and Joe TOSSES Swerve back over the desk! Joe then storms around, and he starts pulling up floor mats! Swerve gets into the ring and the ref reprimands, but then Swerve FOSBURY FLOPS! Down goes Joe and the fans fire up!

Joe sits up, Swerve KICKS him around! Swerve then goes to the apron, runs up, but Joe blocks the boot to YANK Swerve into position! But Swerve pops free of the Muscle Buster! Swerve BOOTS, runs up, but into a POWERSLAM onto the concrete!! The fans lose their minds while Joe roars! Joe drags Swerve up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again with “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Joe paces around Swerve as he sits up. Joe JABS and Swerve falls right over! Joe taunts Swerve, JABS and JABS and JABS again! Joe JABS, JABS, JABS and he sits Swerve down in the corner! The fans boo but Joe soaks it up.

Joe goes back to Swerve, drags him up, and then HEADBUTTS! Swerve wobbles, but he comes back to CHOP! And CHOP again! Nana coaches Swerve on as he CHOPS and fires hands! Joe SWATS and then LEG SWEEPS! Swerve falls on his face and clutches his nose! Joe looms over Swerve, drags him back up, and then CHOPS him on the back! And KICKS him in the front! Then runs to FLASH ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Swerve hangs in there and the fans rally up. Joe clamps onto Swerve with a neck wrench. Swerve endures as Joe tries to twist his head off. The fans continue to rally, Swerve fights around, but Joe throws him down!

Joe mockingly applauds so the fans boo. Joe chuckles, then he kicks Swerve. Swerve kicks from below, Joe kicks again, repeat! Joe then throws down a punch! Swerve goes to ropes, Joe CHOPS him! And CHOPS him! And CHOPS him again! ROLLING ELBOW! Joe snapmares Swerve, then drops a knee! Cover, TWO! Swerve shakes his head and the fans rally up but Joe keeps cool. Nana coaches Swerve, but Swerve can’t even stand. Joe makes Swerve stand so he can CHOP! Swerve CHOPS back! Joe CHOPS again! Swerve BOOTS! And CHOPS! And fires boxing elbows! Swerve runs, but into an ELBOW from Joe!

Swerve tumbles out of the ring, Joe goes out after him, and Joe throws body shots. Joe throws more hands, then clotheslines! Swerve ducks, Joe’s arm hits POST! Swerve gets in the ring, Joe hurries to the apron, but Swerve HOTSHOTS that bad arm! Swerve peels away the padding on the crossbar, and then gets Joe’s arm for a HANGING ARMBAR! Joe endures, the ref counts, and Swerve BOOTS Joe away. Swerve hurries in to KICK the arm! And then wrench it for an ARMBAR CODE BREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Joe toughs it out but Swerve keeps his cool. Nana continues to coach Swerve and he brings Joe up.

Swerve half nelsons but Joe elbows free! So Swerve ROCKS Joe in the back, then KICKS the legs! Swerve CLUBS the bad arm, waistlocks, and uses ropes to help in the GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Joe survives again but Swerve shakes his head. Joe rises, Swerve runs up to fire off fast hands! Swerve CHOPS, runs, but Joe catches him to a SLEEPER! Swerve drops to BOOT from below! Swerve then dodges Joe, goes up and around, SOMERSAULT COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO!! Swerve grows frustrated as Joe goes to a corner. The fans rally, Swerve storms up, but Joe CHOPS!

Swerve CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS again! Joe wobbles, Swerve climbs, and the fans fire up as Swerve CLUBS away on the bad arm! Swerve then hits a FLYING ARMBAR BULLDOG! Then he wraps on a SHORT ARM SCISSOR! Joe endures, but Swerve shifts! Joe holds off the armbar and powers through, but Swerve has the TRIANGLE HOLD! Joe deadlifts Swerve, to BUCKLE BOMB him! And then Joe brings Swerve up, tucks him in, MUSCLE BUSTER!! Cover, TWO!??! Joe is beside himself that Swerve survived his best shot! Joe storms out of the ring, Nana asks where he’s going, and Joe grabs his belt! Nana says Joe can’t just leave, but Joe scares him off!

Joe isn’t leaving, he gets in the ring with his belt! Only to get a HOUSE CALL!! Joe’s stuck in ropes and Swerve goes up! 450 SPLASH GUILLOTINE!! Then Swerve goes back up, Joe flounders around, into the KILL STOMPS!!! Cover, TWO!!! Now Joe survives Swerve’s best shot!! Swerve storms up, but Joe CLAWS at Swerve’s face!

Joe has Swerve caught and Swerve flails! Joe’s bad hand is having a hard time holding on, and the fans rally for Swerve to keep fighting!

Swerve reaches out, pries at the bad hand, and sits up! Joe is losing his grip, and Swerve bends fingers! Swerve stands, wrangles and gets Joe down, then traps the other arm! Swerve stands on the bad arm, to SNAP it!! Joe writhes in agony and Swerve looks to the belt. It inspires him, motivates him, and Swerve says this is it! Swerve reloads and aims from a corner!

Swerve climbs up a corner again, but his own body is hurting. Joe trips Swerve up! Joe CLUBS away on Swerve, brings him up to the top rope, and fireman’s carries!

Swerve CLUBS away on Joe! And he twists Joe’s nose! Swerve stares Joe right in the eyes, jumps, but Joe gets under! Swerve comes back to carry Joe out for a POWERBOMB!! And then Swerve goes back up, for the KILL STOMPS!!! Cover, SWERVE WINS!!!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Champion)

St. Louis explodes with excitement! The Gateway City has become the gateway to history as The Realest finally has this championship! And the first African American AEW World Champion at that! The purple confetti and all sorts of pyro goes off as Swerve celebrates with the fans! Whose Dynasty? SWERVE’S DYNASTY! Long Live the NEW King of Wrestling Television, long may he reign!

My Thoughts:

An awesome event for the first-ever AEW Dynasty, especially with that main event. Awesome stuff from Swerve and Joe as always, and of course a great win and crowning moment for Swerve. He’s been MLW World Champion but no offense to MLW, Swerve has been waiting a long time for a world title of this level. He did great in NXT though never getting THE NXT Championship, it was unfortunate that Vince could not figure out a damn thing to do with Hit Row, and even Swerve’s early days in AEW were hit and miss. But Swerve never gave up, he won the fans over, and now he has his moment, I’m sure Dynamite this Wednesday will greet him with “You Deserve It!”

I did skip most of the Zero Hour stuff because it’s on YouTube for free, and because that’s just an extra hour AEW needs to really trim down. If AEW is going to be doing their own 12 PPVs a year, they gotta start streamlining things, realizing some things are better for TV like Collision or Rampage and only the most important stuff needs to be here. Though I will say, great to see Mike Sydal with Matt, and then Trent goes and destroys them both for the fun of it. Chuck Taylor made the save, Trent acts like Chuck’s the one in the wrong, can’t wait to see those guys have it out. And great stuff for Cassidy & Shibata as they won, I wonder if those two stick together as a tag team.

I did still cover the Trios title match because that’s some big stuff. That’s like the one match that was still PPV preshow worthy cuz it’s certainly important. I guessed right that Bullet Club Gold was winning, but I’m surprised they didn’t cheat. But hopefully they do what I was also thinking, Bang Bang Gang needs to be part of AEW programming like Collision but also part of ROH weekly programming because they are the trios champions of both promotions now and Tony Khan needs to remember that. ROH is prerecorded, sure, but just edit in a backstage segment from tonight into ROH this week so that at least they’re on the episode.

I didn’t expect the Continental Championship to open but it was an awesome match to start us off. I figured Okada would win, but I like the sneaky way he used the ref against Pac to do it. Then combined with The Bucks winning the tag titles, we have a new Golden Elite. That Ladder Match was a little scary, though, especially when it ended up following a scary moment to end Bryan VS Ospreay. Cash also didn’t really sell getting crotched on the ladder and taking an EVP as much as he should’ve. But then, with all the foreshadowing, of course Jack Perry returns to screw FTR over and help his new friends in The Bucks. Forbidden Door may not be until June but I’d love if Jack brings House of Torture around, we get a weird alliance of HOT and Elite going towards that PPV.

Speaking of that Bryan VS Ospreay match, that was an absolute epic, but I’m unsure what to make of the finish. Bryan’s faked bad neck and such before, so maybe he was acting here for story. Ospreay is happy he won but worried he overdid it with Bryan, that could be another thing that tears him away from the Don Callis Family. Meanwhile, great Six Man Tag of House of Black VS Edge, Briscoe & Eddie. They did a great job with the black mist spot leading to the finish, great win for House of Black and I would think this gives us Double or Nothing’s TNT Championship match, Edge VS Malakai.

Following House of Black with more House of Black was a natural move, and Willow VS Julia felt rather quick. There was rumors that Julia has been nursing an injury so they probably made this a quick win to spare her from getting any more beat up. But at the same time, of course it was going to be Willow VS Mone for Double or Nothing. They were teasing that things could still change in the next month, but I feel like if Julia had defenses along the way and didn’t lose, Willow can have defenses along the way and not lose. If Mone wins, Willow’s reign will be short, but if she gets two or three defenses in beforehand, the reign won’t look weak. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to look, we all have different opinions on what builds a reign.

On the flipside, AEW kinda fast-tracked us to title matches for Roddy VS Kyle and Hook VS Jericho. They didn’t have to shoehorn turns to then shoehorn more matches onto this card, but Tony Khan seems to have pacing problems. Roddy of course won in part thanks to Wardlow, and then unfortunately, Jericho won to prolong this feud. But y’know what? Kudos to Hook taking a baseball bat as the finish. A good detail in the International Championship was Cole frowning at Wardlow. Feels like with how Wardlow almost messed up his distraction, he’s on thin ice with Cole and any misstep will get him a superkick and then kicked out of the Kingdom.

Great Women’s World Championship match out of Toni Storm and Rosa, great looks from both their gear tonight. Storm of course had Mariah May there to help, but logical move for Deonna to go after Mariah. Storm retaining made some sense, she’s just too good as this character and the fans love her so much. I’m still sticking by my idea that Mina Shirakawa is gonna come around to this title because of her connection to Mariah and how Mariah will have to choose between her two mentors. Storm can retain the title but lose Mariah so that then Mariah and Storm battle for the belt, maybe at All In London 2024.

My Score: 9.2/10

The #TCM, Toni’s Classic Move, wins it for her, and Luther hands her a mic. Toni rests on the mat while she says, “This Whore You All Adore… This Slut You Can’t Rebut… This tramp is still THE CHAMP! And my gawd, what a frosty little slop tart. Now I know there’s a fresh batch of tarts back there, wanting to take a shot at this wide load that holds the gold. Yes, that’s right. Everyone’s coming for Toni Storm. But you got it all wrong, darling! Toni Storm comes for everybody! So if you’re tits can take the hits, then I’m not a hard woman to find. I could be right here.” Then she goes outside and says she could be here, or here next to this man.

Or here, down the ramp. Here with this gentlemen, by the stage, or on this bloody boardwalk! Toni goes outside of the arena and says she will be ready, sweaty, here, queer, and TIMELESS~! Toni revels in the brisk evening air of the Atlantic City beach, but who will look to ruin all the fun?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

The Maniac AEW World Champion says, “When Katsuyori Shibata woke up on Wednesday morning, his fate was already sealed. He may as well have already been in the hospital. There’s nothing you can do about it, Joe, so I don’t want you to feel bad that all of the people closest to you are dropping like flies. And I struggle to find reasons to dislike Samoa Joe, I really do. The guy defined professional wrestling for a whole generation of us guys. He deserves the respect he commands. Samoa Joe is beyond reproach. But so was Bryan Danielson. Something to think about.

“Steel Cage for the world championship in Chicago. There’s this notion, this idea, that I should be scared to step into a steel cage with Samoa Joe. When you’re the world champion, every opponent is dangerous, every match is hard, every day is hard. I’m gonna do what I always do: my job. And I am exceptional at my job. You wanna lock me inside a steel cage? Lock it. Lock the door, man. This is always how this was gonna end. My affairs are in order. But if you subscribe to this notion that I should be scared, well then you haven’t been paying attention, Joe. You better make sure you thought things through.”

The Maniac has issued a warning, but will Joe even acknowledge it? Or will Joe make Moxley realize what fear really is?

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week’s Collision!

First: It’ll be live at 8 PM Eastern, just like tonight. Second: It’ll be on TBS, just like tonight. Third: It will be on THURSDAY NIGHT instead of Saturday! Make sure to adjust your DVR accordingly so you don’t miss a moment of the action!

 

Samoa Joe speaks.

“Hello, Jon. I hope you’ll forgive me, I’m not there at Collision this week, but it’s only because I’m paying you respect by being here in my gym, preparing for what I’ll do to you in a few short weeks. What that is, Jon, is helping you understand. I’m gonna help you understand what happens when you call a man like me out. And you’re going to understand that what you have done to Hook and Shibata is going to be visited upon your man, Claudio, next week. And that all starts with me understanding a little bit about you, Jon. See, I understand that you have the ruthless streak that is required to take on someone like me.

“I understand that you have the ability and the will to come after someone like me. But you see, Jon, I had to put this match in a cage. Cuz there’s something else that I understand about you. The Jon Moxley I look at today doesn’t have the heart to stand in front of me. The Jon Moxley I see today doesn’t have the balls to get into a ring and get into an actual firefight with a man like me. And Jon, come Chicago, at Beach Break, I will break you. And when you turn around to run, with nowhere to go, I am Samoa Joe. I will be the next AEW World Champion. And Jon Moxley, I will make you understand.”

Marina hands the mic to Moxley and Moxley snarls while the fans boo. Moxley paces, and he tells Samoa Joe, “I heard what you said. Lemme ask you a question. What exactly is it I don’t understand? Just what the hell is it, Joe, that I don’t understand?”

The fans chant for Joe, and sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Moxley asks how Joe is gonna explain something to him inside a steel cage. What? Is Joe gonna kick his ass? The fans chant “YES!” So Joe is gonna beat Moxley up? “YES!” Oh, is that what they think? “YES!” Right… Moxley has faced all the supposed baddest men in the business, all shaped and sizes, all organizations and in all countries. Just name one. They all said the same thing as you’re saying, Joe! They were thinking the same things Joe is thinking, until they weren’t! Moxley knows the moment it happens, he can feel it when it happens! Every time!

He feels it every time when they realize they don’t wanna be here anymore. When they stop trying to win and they start trying to survive, and then realize they aren’t in a chess match, but they are in a war! The only difference this time, Joe, on May 14th, it will be both. Joe wants to target his people? Moxley expected nothing less. You think Moxley doesn’t wanna get into a real firefight? Newsflash, brother: Just look at your brothers; it’s been a firefight this whole time. Moxley then drops the mic and storms out the way he came in. Will Moxley step into Chicago and step out of Chicago still the AEW World Champion?

 

Backstage interview with The Outrunners.

Lexy Nair is with Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum with their 1980s standard definition, and brings up how Roppongi Vice got in their faces and then beat them up. She understands they have a response to that. Truth says yeah, he’s got something to say! Trent, Rocky, Truth gets you’re upset! He gets you feel disrespected. But maybe the Outrunners get a little loud sometimes. So what? Maybe they flex a little too much. So what? Maybe they spin a little too fast. So what?! Turbo says if Rocky & Trent wanna get physical, let’s get physical! They’ll settle this where it counts! When you’re face to face with The Outrunners, some are scared to death! But some are scared to live!

Truth & Turbo shake it out, will the Youngest Men Alive show Azucar & #JustTrent what respect is really about?

CRU speaks.

Lio Rush says, “It was inevitable that the story ended with the way that it did.” Action Andretti adds, “With Top Flight landing flat on their faces.” They’re not in AEW to waste time. And any more time spent on Darius & Dante is a waste of time. They tried to walk away, drift off into the sunset, but “you two children couldn’t handle being without us.” Top Flight couldn’t stand being in the rearview mirror. CRU hopes Top Flight will learn a lesson. And that lesson is you should #FearCRU. Either you’re CRU, or you’re enemy.

 

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???

Platinum Max is in the ring again, and he tells Atlantic City, “You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that clearly false statement, but Caster says, “You people just witnessed a 15 minute time limit draw. And that got me thinking. No one in AEW could survive FIVE minutes in the ring with Platinum Max!” The fans boo but Caster says let’s put five minutes on the clock! The tech guys oblige, and Caster says before his next “victim” comes out here, he wants the people here in AC to prove that they’re not just a bunch of drunk, degenerate tourists! He wants them to do the chant correctly!

“Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster is already laughing at how “bad” the fans are doing. That was not full participation, please do better. But let’s get to business! Who can survive FIVE with the Best Wrestler Alive? It’s DANIEL GARCIA! Caster is furious, but will Platinum Max be lucky to survive Red Death?

The bell rings, the time limit starts, and Garcia gets around Caster to fire off haymakers! Garcia stomps away on Caster in the corner, the fans fire up, but the ref counts.

Backstage interview with with Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn.

Lexy is with the Pride of Professional Wrestling & Daddy Ass, and Bowens wants her to remember he is also the 5 Tool Player, the perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, “The Look” and “The It Factor.” Bowens is here in his home state of New Jersey to tell us all that he intends to use all five tools to climb to a championship opportunity. Doesn’t that sound great? But then in steps Blake Christian & Lee Johnson. Vanilla Babyface tells Bowens all he is hearing right now is blah blah blah. Let’s be real: Bowens may have won against Blake three weeks ago, but those people weren’t talking about Bowens beating Blake.

The talk was about Bowens being outshined by Blake! Big Shotty says Bowens needs to listen because he means this with all the disrespect in the world. Johnson believes he is 150% better! After watching Blake soften Bowens up, Johnson knows how to put Bowens down. Bowens says wow, outshined him? That’s not possible. And 150% better? Well, then step up to the plate and get MOLLY WHOPPED by the 5 Tool Player! Any time, anywhere. Blake & Lee leave, when and where will Big Shotty take his shot?

 

The Gates of Agony VS Ray Chas & Goldie!

The Hurt Syndicate claimed we’d see Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona way down the line after they lost in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. But the Cameroonian Prince says there are things much worse than death. They took a bite of the baddest apple on the tree, and the Samoan Lion says it made them SICK! Compared to that, only agony awaits! This is a message sent to Big Bill & Bryan Keith, will it be received loud and clear?

The teams sort out, Kaun starts against Ray, and the two step up. Kaun then BOOTS Ray, GERMAN SUPLEXES him, then reels him in. RUNNING SUPLEX! Kaun mockingly applauds, then he puts Ray in the corner to CHOP! Tag to Liona, and Kaun bumps Ray off buckles for Liona to then BACK ELBOW! Goldie SLAPS Kaun, but Kaun grins. Kaun TOSSES Goldie in, Liona runs up and POUNCES him out of the ring! The fans fire up and Liona tags Kaun. Then the Gates run up, HIP ATTACK followed by a METEORA! Then they CLOSE THE GATES on Ray!! Cover, Gates win!

Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall

The CRU is watching ringside, acting unimpressed. But will Kaun & Liona make sure Lio & Action are next after Bill & Keith? But speaking of, Bill calls them out from the tron! Last week, Bill & Keith called them out. They’re in the parking lot. They don’t come to you, you come to them! Kaun & Liona say bet! The Gates leave the ring, go to the back, and find their way to the parking lot! Will we get quite the battle of titans in Atlantic City?

 

AEW returns and…

The Gates have found the Redwood & Bad Apple! The brawl is on right in front of the Mack trucks! Bill SMACKS Liona off one, but Kaun THROWS Keith into fencing! Bill BOOTS Kaun, kicks more fencing out of the way, then he picks up a swivel chair! Bill SLAMS the chair, but Kaun avoids disaster! Liona SMACKS Bill with a trash can lid! Bill grabs some poor passerby by the face, and THROWS him at Liona! Liona catches the guy, throws him aside, and then he stares Bill down. Only for Keith to jump on Liona with a SLEEPER! Kaun is up and he ROCKS Bill! Liona spins around to swing Keith off him and into a truck!

Bill and Kaun brawl, Liona runs up, but Keith avoids the trash can attack! This brawl is gonna keep going, but the show must go on, too! Will security be able to stop this carnage before it goes too far?

 

Best 2 Out of 3 Falls: FTR VS Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly!

Dax & Cash have gone back and forth with Roddy & Kyle for months now, and this match is about finally settling the score. Who wins when it takes more than just the first lucky opportunity?

The teams sort out and Kyle starts with Cash. The first fall begins, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two rush in, Cash rolls Kyle up, TWO and Kyle has an omoplata! Cash rolls free, shakes out the bad arm, and Dax checks him. Cash’s arm is fine, and the two reset. Chas and Kyle tie up, Cash headlocks, but Kyle endures the grind.

Big Stoke says that’s the smart move, because there’s still two falls to win anyway. Stoke has FTR regroup, but can the Top Guys pull off the comeback? Collision goes picture in picture.

Stokely argues with fans, and then Dax grabs a chair! Dax throws the chair into the ring, the ref catches it and puts it aside, and he tells them to get in here, the second fall has already begun. The ref starts a ring count but Stokely has FTR settle down first. Dax takes his time before stepping inside. Stokely & FTR huddle up to talk strategy, and Dax starts with Kyle. They tie up, go around, and Dax wrenches Kyle to a wristlock. Kyle breaks free to ROCK Dax, then ROCK Cash! Collision returns to single picture as Kyle keeps fighting off FTR! Dax powers Kyle back, Cash sneaks the tag, and Kyle jumps the dropdown, only for Cash to grab Dax’s hand! DOUBLE LARIAT from the ropes!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall, 2-1 score

Stokely cheers as he makes all the difference! Will the Top Guys continue to win by any means necessary until they’re back on top of AEW? WAIT! Daniel Garcia storms his way out here! He has a mic and a crowbar, but which one is he gonna use?! Stoke has Garcia hold on, the ref tells Garcia to stand down, but Garcia says what he really wanted to do is come down and beat all three of them over the head with the crowbar. “But I can’t. Because I have too much love for the both of you. And I thought you two had a lot of love for me, too. Because any time that one of my so-called mentors left me high and dry, left me stranded, you guys were there to pick up the pieces and put me back on my feet.”

The fans rally for Garcia, and Garcia says after what FTR did to Adam Copeland and 2Point0, and then after they tried to break Garcia’s neck, Garcia was left looking for answers. But Garcia realized that he won’t get those answers just standing around having a therapy session with them. The fans say use the crowbar then! Garcia says he has an idea. Next week, it doesn’t matter if it is Dax, Cash, Stokely, all of them, fifteen of them, a hundred of them, FTR, CPR, the ER, it doesn’t matter! Just meet him in the ring so he can beat the answers out of them!! The fans fire up for that! Who will accept this challenge from an enraged Red Death?

My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, but wow, six years and they haven’t learned how to not be redundant. While Moxley and Samoa Joe had good promos, Moxley having two promos is stupid. Skip the video one Moxley did backstage and just give us Moxley responding in anger to what Joe had to say. Same effect, but much more efficient. To be fair, I feel like a good number of this night was thrown together last minute. Because hey look, another match with “prize money” on the line when we know that’s kayfabe. It was still an awesome match from all four guys, with Hologram watching a la Sting and Darby, but what’s the point of a fake money prize? Sammy calls out Adam Cole here, why not make it some kind of TNT Championship #1 contender’s match?

Very good match from Storm VS Frost and a very good promo from Storm, and while we know Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter is set, this feels like someone is going to challenge Storm for Double or Nothing in an attempt to change the All In: Texas plans. The wildest thing they could do is make it Athena as her way of getting to the All In card. They could even make it title for title because it’s Double or Nothing, and the winner brings both those titles to facing Mercedes Mone, and they have ALL the titles on the line because it’s All In! But because it’s that wild, they won’t do it. And to be fair, they really shouldn’t because then who would ever get a belt off the “Ultima Dragon” they create?

Megan of course beats Harley, but I appreciate that it led to Anna Jay making the save. Anna and Harley can certainly make a great team to battle Megan & Ford, but I feel like Megan & Ford win mostly because of Megan. Awesome match from Alexander VS Brody, and I really like that on the same day Konosuke and El Phantasmo have a 15 minute time limit draw in NJPW, Alexander and Brody have one here in AEW. Archer getting involved was also good stuff, but there’s no word on when Buddy Matthews is getting back so I’m not sure the chances of Hounds of Hell VS Don Callis Family.

But after that good promo from the Outrunners, I bet we get them and Brody working together as rather strange bedfellows. Very good stuff with Gates of Agony. They of course squashed their opponents tonight, but I like that we got a brawl of them and the former Learning Tree. Though, the brawl could’ve been a bit better, but I understand how no one wanted to fall on that hard concrete of the parking lot. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a tag match now, helping reestablish both teams in the tag division. But while CRU had a good promo to say they’re done with Top Flight, they’re like chihuahuas barking a big game thinking they can go against Kaun & Liona in a fair fight.

Caster adding a time limit to his Open Challenge was hilarious, since it added to how humiliating it was for Caster to lose fast. And Garcia answering the challenge also helped tie into tonight’s main event with FTR. Which also seemed rather out of nowhere, but it did make sense in story for FTR to go 2 outta 3 with Kyle & Roddy. Great main event with that, and I actually like Stokely’s strategy of forgoing the first fall to avoid any further damage. As such, FTR of course pulled off the comeback to win out, allowing Garcia to confront them. Thankfully, Garcia didn’t side with FTR, I had feared they’d do a lame bit of logic leaping. Garcia against either Dax or Cash will be a great singles match, and I feel like Cope will make some sort of heroic return so Garcia can have a tag partner to face FTR at Double or Nothing. Then Garcia turns.

My Score: 8.7/10

8 Man Tag: Kenny Omega, Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight VS Ricochet, Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks!

The Cleaner is back and he’s ready to clean up the mess The Elite have made. The Sussex County Chicken, Speedball & Jet are with him, but will they stand tall? Or will The One & Only join The Rainmaker & The EVPs in throwing a Superkick Party?

The teams sort out and the fans fire up as Omega and Okada are right in each other’s face! The ref has the teams calm down but the fans are already losing their minds! The bell rings, and we get not only AEW International Champion VS AEW Continental Champion, but the revival of perhaps the greatest rivalry in NJPW history. Maybe even in world history! Okada and Omega circle as the fans fire up even more. Norfolk is on Omega’s side and Okada is annoyed. Okada tags out to Nicholas Jackson and the fans boo. Omega says that’s fine, he wants after one of his old pals. But Nick calls out Speedball, so Omega says okay.

Omega turns, but then Ricochet & The Elite all attack! The fans boo as they BLAST Omega’s team off the corner, then they stomp away on Omega! The ref reprimands but The Elite & Ricochet soak up the heat. Nick CLUBS Omega, drags him up, but Omega CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Omega wrenches Nick for a wristlock. But Nick pokes Omega in the eye! Nick knuckle locks, CHPOS, then goes up, up, and shouts “LUCHA LIBRE~!” before the FLYING ARM-DRAG! Omega is up, but Nick arm-drags again, then has the armlock. Omega fights up but Nick wrenches and YANKS the arm! Nick hands the arm to Matt for ELBOW BREAKER after ELBOW BREAKER!

The fans boo, but Okada tags in and he wrenches Omega’s arm to CLUB it! And YANK it! The fans rally for Omega but Okada hands him off to Matt again, for MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada wrenches Omega, tags Ricochet in, and Ricochet goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Omega’s arm! Ricochet wrenches the arm, gives an ELBOW BREAKER of his own, then he brings Matt over for even MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada says one more time! Ricochet agrees, but Omega wrenches Ricochet’s arm! Ricochet fights and flails, Omega hands Ricochet off to Matt for ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada and Nick tell Matt to stop, that’s not Omega!

Matt slows to a stop, and then reaches up to touch Ricochet’s head. Being bald confirms it, that’s not Kenny! Ricochet argues with Matt, then pushes him! Matt SLAPS Ricochet on his bald head!

All eight men scramble to their feet and the fans are thunderous! Then the brawl is on! Okada has Knight in a corner, Matt brawls with Bailey, Briscoe TOSSES Ricochet and Nick TOSSES Omega, only for Briscoe to go after Nick!

The Hurt Syndicate arrives backstage.

And very excited staff and AEW prospects greet them with “We Hurt~ People! We Hurt~ People!” MVP says yeah, that’s real fun to say, huh? But y’know what’s even more fun? When they actually do it! MVP JAMS the one guy with his walking stick, then Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley beat down the rest! One guy gets dumped into a laundry basket! The AEW World Tag Team Champions pick up their title belts, and MVP says that first guy broke his cane. But hey, let’s address the elephant in the room. Lashley smirks and Shelton says hey, he was skeptical about MJF, too. But this isn’t about them trusting MJF. This is about them trusting MVP.

Shelton says c’mon, Lashley, he has to admit MJF is also funny, and that he liked that car. Lashley says he can buy his own cars. MVP says of course, of course. But this is what this is about: MJF can help The Hurt Syndicate. Has MVP ever steered them wrong before? And… If MJF screws them, then they will hurt him like he’s never been hurt before. Alright? They fist bump, and MVP says alright, time to get some work done. Will this finally be the night the All Mighty accepts the Scumbag?

 

Six Man Tag: The Opps VS Nick Comoroto, Rhett Titus & Myles Hawkins!

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs not only took the AEW World Trios Championships from the Death Riders, but they put the Death Riders and all of AEW on notice. The Opps are #NeverLacking, but how much more powerful will they become?

The trios sort out and Titus starts against Joe. The bell rings and the fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Joe smirks, then he ties up with Titus. Joe wrenches and wristlocks, but Titus breaks free to CHOP! Titus runs, but Joe CHOPS him off his feet! Joe JABS, JABS, and JABS Titus into the corner. Joe fires off more hands, then stomps a mudhole in! The fans fire up and Joe whips Titus corner to corner. Joe ELBOWS Titus, PELES him, then brings him around to tag Shibata. Shibata CHOPS Titus, then shoves him to his corner. Shibata dares someone to tag in, so Comoroto tags in. The Freak Beast storms up to shove Shibata, but Shibata CHOPS!

Comoroto CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS, repeat! The fans fire up as the CHOPS go back and forth again and again! Shibata then CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Comoroto KNEES low, whips, but Shibata ducks ‘n’ dodges to BOOT! Comoroto falls, Hawkins tags in, but Shibata KNEES him low! Snapmare and KICK! The fans fire up while Hawkins writhes!

Winners: The Opps, by pinfall

Hobbs took care o’ town bidness, and now the trios champs stand tall. Will nothing and no one stop Joe from taking the AEW World- WAIT! The Death Riders attack! Wheeler Yuta CLUBS Shibata down, then runs away from Hobbs while Jon Moxley CHOKES Joe and stomps away! Hobbs grabs Yuta and fires hands! The fans fire up but now Claudio is here, and he UPPERCUTS Hobbs against railing! Claudio then goes after Shibata while Marina Shafir stomps Hobbs. But Joe DECKS Moxley! Moxley bails out, Joe pursues, and Joe fires hands! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Moxley sputters, waves to his people, but that’s a signal to Claudio!

Claudio has a chair set up upside-down! He reels Shibata in, and Joe sees that! Joe lets Moxley go, but he can’t make it back in time! FULL METAL NEUTRALIZER onto the chair legs!! The same thing that did Hook in! Joe is furious but The Death Riders retreat, having done the damage. Moxley grins, but Joe grabs himself a mic. “MOX!!” The Death Riders leave, not caring what Joe has to say. Joe says fine. It seems to him that Moxley likes to come out here and ask like he’s the boss. But when they start throwing hands, Moxley’s just a little b*tch! Joe tells Moxley that he came out here weeks ago and begged for Joe 1v1! All Joe is trying to do is give Moxley what he wants.

Unfortunately, it just seems like Moxley doesn’t really want that… But Jon… You’ve already made your request! And Joe says he’ll give the people what they want, and that is very simple! If Joe is gonna fight Moxley for the AEW World Championship… Then that cowardly SOB Moxley will have to do it inside a steel cage! The fans fire up for that one! “Because my name is Samoa Joe, and I will be your next AEW World Champion!” Joe has raised the stakes on The Maniac, will there be no surviving Beach Break for the Death Riders?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with The CEO and thanks her for taking this time. Mone thanks Renee for having her. Renee says in preparing for this, she thought back to the first time they did this in AEW. Something Renee kept coming back to is how Mone says she is a global superstar on a global mission. Yes, and one year later, she is a global champion! NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion, and of course, the GREATEST AEW TBS Champion of all time. Renee says let’s talk the Owen Hart Tournament. The finals are set for Double or Nothing: Mone VS Hayter. The winner goes to All In: Texas!

Mone says she could go on and on about honoring the legacy of Owen Hart and the Hart Family. The Harts have a special place in Mone’s heart, but let’s be real. This isn’t about them, this is about Mone! Just over a year ago, Mone won her first AEW title at Double or Nothing, so what makes you think this year will be any different? Renee says okay, let’s talk Jamie Hayter. A former AEW Women’s World Champion, 11-2 on the year, and even that aside, just look at the tale of the tape. Physically, Hayter is bigger and stronger. Is Mone underestimating Hayter? No, of course not. But Mone has been in AEW for over a year, and what is she? UNDEFEATED!

So if we’re talking records, let’s talk about that. Renee says yes, true, 25-0 in singles competition, impressive indeed. Yes, it is! Mone has beaten the very best here in AEW, and even all over the world. Mone IS the best! Mone IS the greatest! She is #FourBeltsMone, and the world runs on Mone Time! Because every time Mone steps into the ring, she changes the game! And she has to give props where it is due, Hayter is really, really good. Tough, scrappy, and reminds Mone a bit of herself. Except for the terrible Scooby Doo style! Hayter wants to be a champion, but a champion can’t look like a friggin’ cartoon.

Renee says Double or Nothing is not one to miss. She wishes Mone luck and Mone just smiles. Will The CEO add the Queen of Harts belt to her collection? Or will she learn that no matter how Jamie looks, Hayter Hits Hard?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

AEW returns as Renee is now with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna & the ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. Renee says Nick is headed to Japan next week to enter the Best of the Super Juniors. What does it mean to him to be part of that tournament representing AEW in NJPW? Christian speaks up to say as The Patriarch and leader of this family, he prefers all questions being directed to… Jay Lethal steps in? What can Christian do for him? Lethal says actually, there’s nothing Christian can do. Because he is here to talk to the champ. Lethal knows it is no secret that many people here believe Nick is incredible in the ring, because he is.

But Nick is also young and has a lot to learn. In fact, he has a lot to prove. So how about Nick proves something tonight? The longest reigning ROH World TV Champion, Jay Lethal, and the youngest ROH World TV Champion, Nick Wayne, 1v1! Nick says he doesn’t know. He isn’t really warmed up or prepared. He was hoping to focus on BOSJ. Christian says, “He accepts!” Lethal says, “See you out there, champ.” Lethal heads out, and Christian says if Nick wants to be a champion, then he needs to get his head in the game. The Patriarchy leaves with Captain Charisma, will Nick have no choice but to prove something to Lethal and “Father Christian?”

 

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Miyu Yamashita!

While Double or Nothing puts the Owen Hart Cup on the line, The Timeless Champion is still looking for someone worthy of being her “costar.” Will the Pink Striker soon go for AEW gold? Or will she not pass her “screen test” with Toni?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Toni. Toni offers a handshake, Miyu accepts, and the fans applaud the sportsmanship. The two circle, tie up, and go around. Miyu waistlocks, Toni headlocks, but Miyu wrenches free to wristlock then headlock. The fans sing for “Toni! Toni Storm~!” as she powers Miyu down to a knee. Toni slips out the back, wrenches, then wristlocks. Miyu rolls, wrenches, and then KICKS a leg! And KICKS! KICKS! KICKS! Toni hobbles but she has the ROPEBREAK! Miyu lets go, but then she KNEES low! Miyu whips but Toni hits a THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!

Miyu guards, the ref reprimands about closed fists, but Toni lets off to fire up with the fans. Toni drags Miyu up, scoops her, and hits a BACKBREAKER! Toni drags Miyu up and snap suplexes her! Then Toni goes to a corner, climbs up, and the fans rally. Miyu springs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Toni flops to the apron then the floor, and Miyu fires herself up. The fans rally with her and she goes to the apron. PENALTY- NO, Toni blocks the kick and trips Miyu! Miyu hits the apron, Toni climbs up and gives us a closeup. But Miyu avoids the hip attack! Toni gets stuck in the corner, and Miyu takes aim! The fans fire up as Miyu literally kicks Toni’s butt!

Miyu KICKS Toni’s butt again and again and again! Luther protests and Miyu backs off. Luther makes sure Toni’s butt is okay, but then Miyu KICKS Luther! The fans are torn as Miyu CLOBBERS Luther, then she ROUNDHOUSES Toni’s butt! Toni falls off the corner and Miyu soaks up both cheers and jeers while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Miyu drags Toni up, then whips her hard into barriers! Toni hobbles away but Miyu pursues. Miyu fires the fans up before she runs up and KNEES Toni against railing! Miyu then brings Toni around with a headlock, and she KICKS Toni against barriers! And again, and again, and again! Miyu fires up, but Toni THRWOS her into barriers to CHOP! CHPO! And CHOP! Toni brings Miyu around, but Miyu puts Toni in the ring first. Miyu storms in, stands Toni up, and fireman’s carries, only for Toni to fight free and clamp on a SLEEPER! Miyu flails, wrenches free and THROWS Toni down! Then she BUZZSAWS Toni! Toni sputters, Miyu covers, TWO!

Toni stays in this but Miyu stays cool as she stays on Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again but Toni ROCKS Miyu! And CHOPS! Miyu fires up to BODY BLOW! Miyu wrenches and whips Toni to a corner, then runs up for a KNEE! Miyu brings Toni around, goes up and up and GAMANGIRIS! Miyu fires up and the fans seem torn. Miyu drags Toni into a COBRA CLUTCH, then throws KNEE after KNEE into Toni’s back! Toni stands up but Miyu KNEES and SAYANAGIS, while keeping the COBRA CLUTCH! Toni endures, Luther rallies the fans, and Toni fights around. Miyu pushes Toni to a cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO!

Miyu holds onto the submission even as she pushes Toni down, TWO! Toni fights up, fires body shots, but Miyu KNEES her in return! Dynamite returns to single picture as Miyu looms over Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again, whips her to a corner, and then KICKS! Miyu goes up the corner again, but Toni avoids the kick this time! Toni runs up to ROCK Miyu! Miyu shakes that off and ROCKS Toni! Toni ROCKS Miyu! The forearms go back and forth and Norfolk fires up! Toni fires a flurry and the fans cheer! But Miyu leans into the shots! Miyu backs Toni down like that! Toni swings again, but Miyu slips around to waistlock.

Toni ELBOWS free, but Miyu BLINDSIDE ROUNDHOUSES! And SUPERKICKS! And then ROUND- NO, Toni blocks that one to SNAP GERMAN! The fans fire up and Toni aims from the corner. Another closeup and SWEET- SKULL KICK!! Miyu hits Toni, but she falls back herself! Miyu crawls over to cover, TWO!! Toni survives, but Miyu will not let her go!

Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect and Toni is frustrated.

Toni storms around and the fans rally up. Toni brings Miyu in, Miyu fights the lift, and Miyu fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY BOMB!! But Miyu isn’t done, she BUZZSAWS again! Miyu fires up and runs, but Toni dodges! SNAP GERMAN!! Miyu flounders to a corner, Toni tries one more time! Take three for this closeup! SWEET HIP MUSIC!! Then STORM ZERO!! Cover, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (denies Miyu a title match)

Cut, print, that’s a wrap! Toni is an undefeated 10-0 in eliminator matches, but wait! The CEO is make her way out here. Mone shows off her four belts, and then has a mic to say, “Norfooooolk~! Shut the Hell up and say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. But Mone tells, “Toni, darling, good to see you. After I beat Jamie Hayter at Double or Nothing and win the Owen Cup, I’m coming for what I deserve: The AEW Women’s World Championship, darling~!” But wait! Speaking of the Hayter and she appears! Hayter tells Mone to say that to her face! Mone takes a swing instead! But Hayter blocks that, and DECKS Mone!

Hayter hauls Mone up, but Mone dodges the Hayterade! Mone runs away and Toni is rather surprised. Mone left her belts behind, but will she still grab the Cup? Or will we finally get a sequel to Storm VS Hayter at All In: Texas?

 

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Don Callis himself asks, “You know what I like? I like writing history. I like making history. And last week on Dynamite, Takeshita & the Canadian Assassin, Josh Alexander, they made history! They had one of the greatest tag team matches I’ve ever seen, and they put down Will Ospreay and the great Brody King. I loved it. I loved it so much, I wanna make history again this week with The Family. And this week, we’re going to, because Kyle Fletcher is going to dismantle The Hangman. And then, Kyle, it’s on to Double or Nothing for the Finals of The Owen, where you will finally put to rest the legend of Will Ospreay. And I can’t wait! Go get ’em tonight, kid.”

Kyle Fletcher says, “After I beat Hangman Adam Page tonight, after I beat Will Ospreay at Double or Nothing, I go on to All In, I TAKE the AEW World Championship. The Don Callis Family takes its place at the top of the mountain of AEW. You will have NO choice but to say… my… full… name.” Callis says he’ll do it. “Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, Kyle FLETCHER!!” Callis is all fired up while Fletcher is locked in. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down the Cowboy to then aim at the Aerial Assassin? Or will one Buckshot be all it takes to go Double or Nothing?

 

The Hurt Syndicate heads to the ring.

The fans sing “We Hurt~ People!” and at least they won’t get beat up for it as MVP, Lashley & Shelton go to the ring. MVP has the mic to say, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Now, as you know, we’ve been discussing adding a fourth member to our ranks. And according to our corporate bylaws, in order to do so, that prospect must receive a unanimous three thumbs up. Now, I had a conversation with the Standard of Excellence, and of course The All Mighty, and we’re gonna try this one more time. So please join me in inviting MJF to join us in the ring.”

Norfolk cheers as Maxwell Jacob Friedman makes his entrance. MJF already has a mic of his own, and he has them cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on and MVP says this is kinda to his point. MJF tells the fans, give it up for Shelton! Look how great he looks! Like c’mon! Standard of Excellence! Montel, what can MJF say that he hasn’t already said? A living legend, and one of MJF’s oldest friends. The fans chant for MVP, and then MJF looks to “Bob.” Lashley is annoyed that the fans chant for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” MJF asks if Lashley had a good car ride here. MVP says let’s just get to the vote already.

We all know MVP’s position, and remember the discussion. MVP says thumbs up. Shelton again says thumbs up. Lashley… Well, he thinks about it, looks to the others, and sticks out his hand. The fans cheer and MJF waits patiently as Lashley still thinks on it. Eventually, he says thumbs… DOWN!! MJF frowns and the fans boo, but Lashley just doesn’t wanna give in. MJF says, “Y’know what, Bob? I think I’m about sick of your s*it!” WHOA~! MJF asks what is it Lashley wants. MJF has given him women, helped him win a match, gave him money and a car. What intrigues Lashley? Maybe some Rogaine, “you big bald SOB!”

The fans fire up hearing that, and now MVP steps back. Lashley grabs MJF by the head and puts him in a corner! MJF shouts for MVP but Lashley reminds MJF that they hurt people! If MJF wants to impress Lashley, then go hurt someone. MJF says okay, okay, he’s sorry! Lashley’s made his point, MJF will do that! MVP has Lashley stand down and MJF can breathe again. MVP has Lashley & Shelton leave MJF behind, and can only tell MJF that he tried. MJF has to prove what he’s capable of, who will he hurt as part of his initiation?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS Jay Lethal!

The Patriarchy’s Prodigy was given his shot thanks to, well, The Patriarch. And while Nick won it on his own, Christian acts like he owns part of that title. As such, Christian put Nick in this position to face one of if not THE best ROH World TV Champion ever. Will Lethal ruin Nick’s momentum going into NJPW Best of the Super Juniors? Or can Nick prove he doesn’t need “Daddy” helping him anymore?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really championship material!

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick kicks Lethal’s hand away. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Lethal headlocks for the takeover, Nick headscissors but Lethal kips free. Nick hits the headlock takeover, Lethal headscissors, but Nick kips free. Another headlock takeover from Lethal and another headscissors from Nick, so Lethal kips free again. Another takeover from Nick and another headscissors from Lethal, so Nick kips free again. Nick bails out to stop the cycle, and Christian coaches him up. The fans rally as Nick storms up the steel steps. Lethal opens the ropes for Nick, but Nick chooses to enter from the other end.

Nick and Lethal circle, approach, and Nick kicks low! Nick ROCKS Lethal, CHOPS him, then the fans chant for “NICK’S MOM! NICK’S MOM!” Kip tells them to stop that, but Lethal puts Nick in the corner to stomp and CHOP! Lethal blows a kiss to Mama Wayne, but Nick CHOPS back! Lethal turns things around to CHOP again! Nick sputters and staggers and Christian swipes at Lethal. The ref has The Patriarchy back off, but then Nick kicks Lethal low. Nick whips Lethal to a corner, Lethal reverses, but Nick goes up, only for Lethal to stay back! Nick is confused, turns around, and Lethal arm-drags him!

The fans fire up as Lethal arm-drags again! Lethal then dodges Nick to waistlock. Nick fights, Lethal shoves him, hip toss and cartwheel, basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up for Lethal and he lines up his shot. But then Nick bails out, so Lethal changes his plans. Lethal DIVES and takes Nick down at the ramp! Lethal hurries after Nick, but Nick springs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Christian tells Nick to get up. Nick rises as the ring count climbs. Nick hurries into the ring just to refresh the count. Nick goes back for Lethal, and RAMS him into the steel steps! Lethal writhes and Nick soaks up the heat while Dynamite goes to break.

Dynamite returns and Nick whips Lethal corner to corner hard! Lethal drops to his knees, Nick soaks up heat, but Christian wants Nick to keep on him. Nick again whips Lethal hard corner to corner! Lethal falls to his knees, Christian nods, and Nick whips corner to corner again. Lethal stops himself short, then ELBOWS Nick away! The fans fire up, Lethal rolls Nick up, TWO! Lethal turns Nick to backslide, TWO! Lethal steps over, LA MAGISTROL! TWO!! Nick escapes, swings, but into the LETHAL COMBINATION! The fans fire up while Christian worries and Lethal covers, TWO! Nick survives but the fans rally for Lethal.

Lethal rises, calls his shot, and Lethal goes up a corner. Nick rises to trip Lethal up! Lethal CLUBS Nick in return, but Nick ROCKS Lethal! Nick climbs up, brings Lethal to the top, but Lethal fights with body shots! Lethal DECKS Nick, then takes aim again! The fans fire up for the MACHO ELBOW! But Nick rolls it into a cover! TWO!! Lethal is up, he blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! And then a “WOO~” and FIGURE- NO, Nick cradles Lethal, TWO! Lethal dodges, handsprings, but Nick rolls Lethal up! TWO!! Lethal escapes, fireman’s carries, but Nick CLAWS the eyes! Lethal runs up, Nick trips him into the buckles!

Nick runs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Nick then hooks and hoists Lethal up with the PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!

Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

With the family watching, Nick gets the job done all on his own! But then Christian brings in the belt, and again holds onto it as if it is his. Christian then has Nick turn around, and Christian puts the belt on Nick. The fans boo this backhanded way of complimenting his “son,” but will Nick make the Patriarchy even prouder through the BOSJ?

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinals: Hangman Page VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The Cowboy is no stranger to this position. He was a finalist in last year’s Owen Hart Cup, only to fall short because of his many distractions and obsessions. But will Hangman return to the finals and redeem himself? Or will we get Ospreay VS Fletcher once more?

The bell rings and the two run up to tie up! They go around, Kyle puts Hangman in a corner, but the ref counts. Kyle pie faces Hangman as he lets go, and Callis joins commentary. Callis brings up the saying, “Virginia is for lovers,” but he’s gonna love seeing Hangman be exposed by Kyle tonight. Kyle wrenches Hangman’s arm, wristlocks, then cranks on the hold. Hangman rolls, slips through and wrenches to hammerlock, snapmare, and then CHOP! Kyle staggers back and the fans fire up! Hangman stares daggers at Kyle but Kyle bails out. Kyle walks off that shot while soaking up heat from the fans. The ring count climbs and Hangman paces.

More like ride ’em, cowboy~!” Kyle pretends he’s at the rodeo, but Hangman slips out the back to trip Kyle up!

Hangman SPANKS Kyle and Kyle is stunned! Hangman then ROCKS Kyle, ROCKS him again, and then bumps him off buckles. Hangman fires haymakers in the corner, the fans count along, but the ref also counts. Hangman gets seven as the ref goes to 4, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks but Hangman powers up and out. Kyle rolls over the dropdown, Hangman handsprings back up, and then Hangman BOOTS Kyle right in the face! Hangman goes right to the apron, but Kyle bails out fast! Archer & Callis applaud the quick thinking, but Hangman suddenly runs in and LARIATS Kyle into the timekeeper’s area!

The fans fire up for Hangman and he revels in it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Hangman refreshes the ring count, then storms into the timekeeper’s area to fetch Kyle. The ref has Archer stay back while Hangman drags Kyle up. Hangman then whips Kyle hard into barriers!

Callis coaches Kyle up but Hangman storms over. Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman down!

Archer applauds, and we see Kyle has a bloody cut on his lower back, and that’s quite literal. Kyle still hobbles over to Hangman, stands him up, and whips him hard into barriers! Now Hangman slumps down and takes a seat. Kyle leaves Hangman behind, but Hangman drags himself into the ring. Kyle runs up and BOOTS Hangman into the corner!

DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives and Hangman snarls, but the fans rally up again. Kyle sputters and goes to a corner, but Hangman storms right up on him. Hangman winds up and LARIATS! And LARIATS! And LARIATS again! And again! Again, and again, and again! Hangman winds up after nine for number TEN!! Kyle slumps down and Hangman seethes while the fans fire back up.

Hangman stands Kyle up, whips him corner to corner, then runs up, only for Kyle to go up and over! Kyle comes back but Hangman catches him! FALL AWAY SLAM! Kyle flounders away to the apron, Callis is worried, and Hangman kips up! Hangman then runs to triangle jump LARIAT! Down goes Kyle and Callis is even more worried. Hangman climbs the corner, the fans fire up, but Kyle hurries to anchor Hangman’s feet. Hangman kicks Kyle away, runs up, but Kyle blocks the boot to ENZIGIRI, SUPERKICK, and he reels Hangman in! Kyle suplexes, APRON BRAINBUSTER!! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds!

Callis says Kyle is going to roll into the finals with that one! The ref checks both men, and they’re somehow okay to continue. Kyle drags Hangman up and they’re on top of the barriers now! The fans fire up as Hangman fires body shots, then he blocks a kick! Hangman trips Kyle and Kyle SMACKS off the barriers! Kyle staggers back to his feet, and Hangman sets up to ASAI MOONSAULT! Into an inverted suplex! TOMBSTONE on the floor!! The fans lose their minds as now Hangman returns fire, and Dynamite goes back to picture in picture!

The ref has to again check both men, and both men are still in this somehow. The ring count climbs, the fans rally up, and both men slowly sit up. Hangman springs in at 9, Kyle springs in at 9.5!! The fans fire up as both men stay in this! Hangman and Kyle slowly sit up and crawl on their knees. Hangman throws the first punch! Kyle comes back to throw one, but there wasn’t any sauce behind it. Kyle flops back down, and Hangman scowls. Hangman sits Kyle up to throw another punch! Kyle comes back to throw another shot, and that one had something! The two stand and the haymakers keep going! Hangman ROCKS Kyle again and again!

Kyle ends up in a corner and Hangman HAMMERS away! The ref backs him up, and then Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman! Hangman staggers to the opposite corner and Kyle smirks. Kyle storms over to Hangman, hoists him to the top rope, then climbs up to join him. Hangman fires body shots but Kyle still brings Hangman to the very top! SUPER- NO, Hangman slips free, and he SHOVES Kyle onto the crossbar! Kyle is stuck up there, so Hangman climbs up after him. Now Hangman brings Kyle to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Dynamite returns to single picture right as they crash land on the mat!

Norfolk is thunderous, and a standing count begins. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but someone has to go face Ospreay at Double or Nothing! Both men rise up, and they again throw haymakers from their knees. They stand, throw more shots, and Hangman fires a flurry! Hangman whips, Kyle reverses, but Hangman ROCKS Kyle! Kyle shakes that off to BOOT Hangman! Kyle runs, Hangman rebounds, and Hangman LARIATS! Kyle staggers around but he stays up. Hangman storms up on Kyle to whip again, but Kyle reverses, wrenches, and SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEXES! Hangman staggers to a corner and Kyle takes aim!

Kyle runs, but Hangman POP-UP SIT-OUT POWERBOMBS!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Hangman is beside himself! Hangman slashes his throat, vowing to end this! Hangman stands Kyle up, Alabama Lifts, but Kyle fights it! Kyle tries to lift Hangman, but Hangman kicks and flails! Hangman tries the Alabama Lift again but Kyle slips through! Hangman ROCKS Kyle, then ROLLING- BOOT from Kyle! Kyle reels Hangman in, hoist shim up, but Hangman slips free of the bomb! Alabama Lift and DEADEYE!! Kyle flops, Hangman covers, TWO!?!? Kyle survives and Hangman is shocked! Callis is very worried now but the fans rally up.

Hangman stands, paces, and then goes up a corner! The fans fire up for the MOONSAULT, but into BOOTS! Kyle runs up, reels Hangman in and hoists him up, LAST RIDE POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Callis knows the problem was Kyle didn’t have the arms trapped. Kyle seethes, but he watches Hangman go to the corner. Kyle runs in again, GAMANGIRI! Then a suplex for the- NO, Hangman slips free, O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Hangman goes to the apron! Hangman BOOTS Kyle away, but Kyle GAMANGIRIS again! Hangman sits down on the apron and Kyle goes back out there. Kyle grins as he brings Hangman up!

Kyle reels Hangman in, but Hangman wrenches free! Alabama Lift, APRON DEADEYE!!! The fans go nuts, Kyle slumps to the floor, and Hangman climbs! ARIHARA MOONSAULT!! Hangman hurries to put Kyle in, and he takes aim! Kyle rises, but he pushes the ref right as Hangman slingshots in! LOW BLOW intercepts the Buckshot!! The fans boo but Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!!! Cover, TWO!??!!? Hangman survives and shocks everyone, especially Kyle! Callis is furious and he jumps off commentary to argue the count! Norfolk is electric for “COWBOY SH*T! COWBOY SH*T!” Kyle runs corner to corner again, GAMANGIRI!

Kyle hoists Hangman to the top, climbs up, but Hangman fires body shots! Hangman LARIATS! Kyle holds onto ropes for dear life, but Hangman LARIATS again! Hangman gets Norfolk to fire up, and that energy powers Hangman up for another LARIAT!! Kyle falls back, but he rolls and stands again. Hangman slingshots off the corner!! BUCKSHOT!! And then he goes to the apron, BUCKSHOT!!! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!!

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (advances to Double or Nothing)

Virginia is for lovers, but it’s also for fighters! Norfolk cheers as their Cowboy rides on to the finals, but will this be Hangman’s year? Or will he fail to win “the big one” as he has before?

My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite, and good moves towards not just Double or Nothing but also Beach Break. Well, to be fair, a lot more matches will surely be announced next week, it’s still just the world title match for now. But after The Opps of course squashed Comoroto, Titus & Hawkins, it makes sense for the Death Riders to ambush them. Shibata suffering that chair spot is surely so the World Trios Championships won’t be defended until closer to Double or Nothing, probably giving Pac time to recover so he can team with Claudio & Yuta again. But a Steel Cage for the world title is great stuff, though that doesn’t necessarily change the odds into Joe’s favor.

Awesome opening 8 Man, and it felt like all these guys were bringing that PWG energy. In the end, The Elite with Ricochet win out because for one, Ricochet needs some wins to stay strong. Two, The Bucks win to get heat and build themselves up, and Okada couldn’t take the pin because we’re still on some long route to Okada VS Omega. We’ve got a month, so I’m sure we’ll see those two interact more and perhaps have Omega issue the challenge first. I don’t know if title unification really needs to happen, but one way or another, we’re going to get another instant classic from these two.

Very good promo from Mercedes Mone to play up just how stuck up her Heel persona is. Great match from Toni VS Miyu, and I do appreciate Toni is being a fighting champion right now. I hope that’s not a sign that she’s gonna lose to Mone at All In… Hayter had a great response to Mone’s promo with her physicality, and Toni enjoying Hayter’s music was great stuff. I still hope Athena comes back around past Double or Nothing to build something for All In, and part of me still hopes it is Athena VS Mone, the ROH Women’s and AEW TBS titles on the line. At this point, Mone is on the level of someone who can stop Athena and vice-versa, that’ll be a great match.

Very good promo from The Patriarchy with Lethal, and great match of Nick VS Lethal. Great win for Lethal to build some momentum going into BOSJ, and I can’t wait to see how Nick does in that round robin. Great stuff with Hurt Syndicate and MJF, and of course MJF can’t help but get mad when Lashley rejects him again. Lashley telling MJF to go hurt somebody, MJF will definitely try that. It might even happen as soon as Collision on Saturday, perhaps costing some random Face a good win. That can also be a good opportunity for whoever that is, as they can have a match with MJF and maybe even a story with the Hurt Syndicate.

And very good stuff going into the main event. Good promo from The Don Callis Family, and awesome main event match of Kyle VS Hangman. Given last week’s go-home math, it makes sense Hangman would win here. Plus, MJF saying Hangman would choke, this gives Hangman that chance to prove MJF wrong. Ospreay VS Hangman is also a fresh match-up for an awesome Owen Hart Cup Finals. It still feels like Ospreay is going on to All In given he helped kick off this year’s Owen Hart Cup build, and Ospreay will finally get in on the Death Riders story like he and Darby Allin talked about months ago.

My Score: 8.8/10
