And since then, he’s struggled, overcome, and work his ass off to put on bangers with these two. Saturday will see Dante & Darius face FTR in the AEW World Tag Team Championship semifinals, and Dante brings up how FTR said Top Flight’s never struggled. Did they not hear how Dante broke his leg?
Or perhaps they missed how Darius has been out more than he’s been in, so clearly he’s no stranger to struggle. Darius says is the past three years have taught you nothing else, it’s taught you that Dante & Darius can take a hit and get back up. Tomorrow night, FTR can hit them as hard as they want, but they will get back up and overcome. They know the road to the tag titles is hard, because it is FTR and then The Young Bucks, two of the best teams to ever do it. But at Dynasty, when Darius & Dante hold those titles up, then everyone will realize Top Flight is one of the best to ever do it, and they’re just taking off.
AEW Collision, special start time of 11:30 PM Eastern, will Top Flight take down the Top Guys?

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Champion)
And the streamers all fly in! Finally, and for the first-time-ever, Mark Briscoe wins THE title here in ROH! Papa Briscoe gets in the ring to hug his son in celebration, and even Mark’s friends in the locker room make their way out here! Jay Lethal, Rhett Titus, Dalton Castle, Christopher Daniels, even The Kingdom and so many more join in the celebration! They hoist Mark up on their shoulders, and then they all hug it out! Mark says hold on, they gotta give it up to the former champion, too! Eddie manages to stand, looks to Mark, and they nod. They shake hands to keep the Code of Honor, and then hug it out!
The fans cheer this moment that is not only Mark celebrating destiny achieved, but also him honoring the memory of big brother Jay. Supercard of Honor ends with a true feel good moment, how much bigger and better will ROH get from here?
My Thoughts:
A great Supercard of Honor here. I know, I skipped Zero Hour but this is also WrestleMania Weekend, so many other things are happening and I don’t have time for all four-and-a-half hours that this would be. But the Zero Hour is free on AEW’s YouTube, whatever. I did skim, it was all pretty good stuff, other than duh, Premier Athletes were winning their return match. Black Taurus has transformed into Beast Mortos, he of course won. I was actually surprised SAP didn’t win here, this should’ve been where they ended the story with Maria’s boys but it seems like they’ve doubled down because Serpentico lost another mask to them.
Awesome match from Kyle VS Lee to open the main show, and great Kyushin Thunder Liger reference in Kyle’s entire presentation. Kyle winning made a lot of sense, he’s just doing so well. Maybe if this was Ethan Page, there would be a chance Kyle lost, but Lee was clearly fed to the Protostar’s reign. Great Six Woman Tag from Stardom, and you gotta appreciate the constant action going on outside the ring, very unique compared to American style. Great win for Mina’s team, and fun little moment with Mariah coming out to celebrate with them. Well, mostly with Mina. Depending on how things go in Storm VS Thunder, it’d be fun to have Mariah’s two mentors interact and maybe even fight over the title.
Great tag title match from The Kingdom VS Infantry, but just as we saw on Rampage tonight with Roddy VS Rocky, Wardlow got involved to help The Kingdom, just as Adam Cole said. And hey, as I was hoping, Bullet Club Gold actually shows up to do stuff with their ROH World Six Man titles. But while Archer, Zayne and Suzuki are a great trio, of course they were losing. BCG still has to settle things with The Acclaimed, and great to see them show up here, too, so maybe we get Winners Take All at Dynasty. Then Acclaimed can show up on ROH TV, or who knows, maybe BCG wins and they bring all the belts to ROH TV. Just someone show up on ROH TV more often.
Really good stuff in the Fight Without Honor, it’s just too bad The Boys got released before this. They definitely should’ve made their epic return all feral and violent so they could help Castle win. But instead, we did get admittedly hilarious gags with the substitute Boys, and Paul Walter-Hauser so he could plug his own stuff. Which is fine, ROH is making it work with Wrestling Revolver, Athena & Billie went there once. And speaking of, both women’s titles were awesome tonight. I don’t know how to feel about Billie faking such a scary injury but WOW did she do a great job of it. Both Billie and Aminata are great, but I suppose Face in the chase makes sense, and now Billie gets to reign alongside Athena.
Honestly, didn’t Athena was winning. 50-0 is a great mark to hit, but now it’s like, who beats Athena for the title? The only thing I can think of is if she and Billie face off again for both belts, but that doesn’t seem right either. It would be great if Aminata moved up to the world title to make up for not winning the TV title. And in a way, that’s what happened with Mark Briscoe. Great stuff between Mark and Eddie tonight, and wow did Mark bleed. Mark winning out was the right call, he’s been long overdue for a singles title and here we are. Eddie still has his NJPW Strong title, too, so this was surely a great honor for him to give Mark the ROH title.
My Score: 9.1/10

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Gabe Kidd & SANADA VS KENTA & Chase Owens!
No NJPW round robin tournament would be complete without Bullet Club VS Bullet Club! The Mad Man & Cold Skull lost to Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa, Fang Revived & Crown Jewel lost to Bishamon, so both teams are in a fighting mood. Which faction within the club comes out feeling Just Too Sweet?
Aw hell, Gabe & Sanada attack Kenta & Chase during their entrance! No mercy just because they’re all Bullet Club! Sanada brings Chase into the crowd while Gabe and Kenta brawl down the aisle!

Sanada hurries to help Gabe and now the brawling is all in the same area! Kenta has Sanada now while Chase keeps after Gabe.
Things finally go back to the ground level and to ringside. Kenta ROCKS Sanada, but Sanada ROCKS Kenta! Gabe CHOKES Chase with a chair!

Cover, War Dogs win!!
Winners: Gabe Kidd & Sanada, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Kenta & Chase earn 0)
The War Dogs struck first and never let up, and now they win to break even. Wait, as Kenta & Chase are helped away, and even as Sanada heads out, Gabe sits cross-legged while he has the mic. “Let me be very effin’ clear. You crossed the line as soon as you ran to Tokyo Sports and started calling me all this s*it. Unprofessional, all this s*it. Let me make this very effin’ clear! You said you wanted, you said the fans wanted, I said it before: I don’t give a F what anyone wants but me! And I wanna end your career! So iitengo (January 5th), Gabe Kidd, Kenny Omega, LET’S EFFIN’ GO!!”
The fans are fired up to hear WrestleDynasty now has a massive crossover match added! But will Gabe keep making this about The Best Bout Machine until it comes back to bite him? Or is that just the motivation he needs so he and Sanada can take the trophies?
World Tag League 2024 A Block: Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma VS Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa!
The Roughneck & Everyone’s Kokeshi had a rough opening round with their loss, but The Front Man & The Mullet had a mighty main event win. But the tournament might be taking a backseat when Shota wants after the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Will Shota earn a title match while heading for the trophies? Or will ZSJ prove Shota’s just not ready?
As ZSJ & “Roy” step into the ring, Shota gets in ZSJ’s face so ZSJ taunts him with the world title. The ref has them stand down, and the teams sort out. Shota and ZSJ start and they tie right up at the bell. Shota headlocks, ZSJ powers up and out, then he BOOTS Shota! Shota roars, ROCKS ZSJ and runs to RAM him! ZSJ rebounds to BOOT SHota again!

Honma BLASTS Oiwa for good measure but the ref reprimands him. Shota stands and brings ZSJ up. Shota puts ZSJ in, which the fans applaud, and Shota covers. ONE, but Shota stays on ZSJ. Shota CLUBS ZSJ, tags Honma, and Honma stomps ZSJ in the corner. The ref counts but Honma digs his boot in. The ref counts, Honma steps off, and Honma drags ZSJ up.

Honma CHOPS ZSJ and ZSJ sputters. Honma CHOPS again, and CHOPS again! ZSJ hobbles away but Honma is on him with a whip. Honma ELBOWS ZSJ down, pats his head and runs, but he stops short of the kokeshi as ZSJ moves! ZSJ grabs an arm and wrangles Honma into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Oiwa BLASTS Shota while Honma scrambles around! The fans fire up as Honma fights and drags ZSJ with him. ZSJ shifts to have just the arm, or no, not just the arm! It’s like a one-armed Italian Stretch! Honma still fights to the ROPEBREAK! Fans applaud, and ZSJ lets go to tag Oiwa. Oiwa drags Honma up to scoop and SLAM!

Shota runs up, to UPPERCUT!

Winners: Bishamon, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Takagi & Yota earn 0)
A sudden turnaround, but it can’t be called an upset with how Goto & Hashi have been World Tag League winners and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions besides! But if this is how hard Takagi & Tsuji fought, yet they still fell short, how much harder must they fight to be on top of the block?
As for Bishamon, Hashi has the mic first. “Last year, Bishamon made history be becoming the first-ever IWGP Tag Team Champions to win this league. We also achieved the first-ever threepeat. This year, we’re looking to go undefeated!” The fans cheer that lofty goal, and even chant for “BI-SHA-MON! BI-SHA-MON!” Hashi says then, in Kumamoto, when they win their FOURTH STRAIGHT tournament, “We’ll show you our happiest Zanmai celebration ever.” The fans are certainly intrigued by that. Hashi says Bishamon’s four-peat will come in the blink of an eye!
With that mic drop, the mission is clear! No need to #GetBackUp when you’re still riding high, but will Goto & Hashi continue to add to their historic achievements? Or will a team come along to ruin it all?
Here are the NEW A Block standings!
Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman: 2-0, 4 points
Bishamon: 2-0, 4 points
Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji: 1-1, 2 points
Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa: 1-1, 2 points
Gabe Kidd & Sanada: 1-1, 2 points
Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma: 1-1, 2 points
Kenta & Chase Owens: 0-2, 0 points
Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi: 0-2, 0 points
My Thoughts:
A great event for WTL A Block, but I hope there won’t be any more delays in the On Demand upload, there’s too much to do on a Friday to wait on this. Anyway, I had a bad feeling Funky Sauce would lose again, but they had a strong showing against Callum & Cobb. Great brawl between Gabe & Sanada with Kenta & Chase. But considering Gabe is building towards that match with Kenny Omega, good win for him and Sanada, and then good promo from Gabe to call Omega out. This all probably takes Gabe & Sanada out of the running for the finals, because they can play up how Gabe is too distracted by wanting after Omega.
Great match from Shota & Honma VS ZSJ & Oiwa, but this match also proved me right from earlier. This was just a formality to make ZSJ VS Shota for the world title official. Shota gets the upset win on ZSJ and now that is Shota’s path to WrestleKingdom. But Bishamon VS LIJ was awesome stuff, and what a great win for Goto & Hashi. Goto & Hashi are definitely set up to make another run at the trophies, but I’m still not sure of their chances of winning. The threepeat was pretty surprising as it was, but a four-peat would be wild.
My Score: 9/10

QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!
QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off.

Juice slips free to LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Juice powers up, another LEFT HAND O’ GOD!! The fans fire up again as Juice brings Butcher up. JUICE IS LOOSE!! Cover, Juice wins!
Winner: Juice Robinson, by pinfall
And that’s one for Bullet Club Gold! Will Jay White look to do just as much damage to Hangman Page? Or will the Blackhat Cowboy still be number one with a bullet?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
There will be no Friday Night Rampage next week, because it will be a BACK-TO-BACK Rampage & Collision Saturday night! Make sure your DVR is ready for three hours of AEW action!
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”
Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?
Ricochet speaks.
“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?
BREAKING NEWS for the Full Gear Zero Hour!
Anna Jay lost last week in her last chance championship match, but she also rejected the offer of The Vendetta. Now Deonna Purrazzo is looking to teach Anna why that was a mistake. Will The Virtuosa make sure Anna’s never The Star of the Show? Or will she learn why Anna’s still The Queenslayer? Then, we see Dante Martin, The Beast Mortos, Komander and Buddy Matthews compete in what will surely be a fast and furious Fatal 4 Way! Who wins some big momentum, and possibly a spot in the Continental Classic?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Dark Order!
While Tomohiro Ishii is aiming for the ROH World Championship next Wednesday on Thanksgiving Eve, he, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero don’t mind building up momentum in the Trios Division. Will the Stone Pitbull, Sussex County Chicken & Azucar be rolling towards titles? Or can Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver remind everyone that The Dark Order is good enough?

A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.
Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.
Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.
Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.
My Score: 8.8/10
