Meek Mill speaks.
“Every city lives by a code. Only difference is, when you crack that Philly code, you put the whole world on notice. Tonight, we got some mess around and find out type o’ guys. Straight up code breakers. So if you come for The Bloodline, you best not miss. We been showin’ out for 40 years, and we got forever to go. And it’s about to be legendary. Philly, WrestleMania, let’s get it!”
It’s an all-new Kevin Owens Show!
Philadelphia fires up as the Prizefighter makes his way out, showing off the newest KO Mania shirt. Kevin steps into the ring where the chairs await, and the fans chant for “KO! KO!” as he gets the mic. Kevin says, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a very special edition of The Kevin Owens Show! And it’s not just special because it’s WrestleMania Weekend, it’s special because my guest tonight is an absolute legend in this industry. And every time I get to share the ring with him, it means a lot to me. We’ll share it on Sunday, but I’m gonna bring him out now! Please welcome Randy Orton!”
Philly now fires up as The Viper makes his way out to the ring. They take their seats and Kevin says these are the best chairs money can buy. They spin and everything. Kevin thanks Orton for joining him, and on WrestleMania Sunday, they’re in a big match. Orton VS Kevin VS Logan Paul, “The Worst.” Kevin showed he put “He’s Cool” for Randy on the shirt. Their Triple Threat is for the US Championship. They both want to be champions, and tonight, they sit here united by a common denominator, and that is their hatred for Logan Paul. Orton agrees, the fans agree, and Kevin says this show is about the tough questions.
So Kevin’s tough question for Orton is… The fans start chanting “LOGAN SUCKS! LOGAN SUCKS!” Kevin says yeah, that is on the shirt, too! But to the question, on a scale of 1 to 10, just how dislikeable, repulsive and annoying is Logan Paul? Fans chant “TEN! TEN! TEN!” and Kevin is reminded of the guy who used to do that. Randy says he has to disagree with everyone, actually. Logan’s an ELEVEN. But then Logan is laughing via the WrestleMania set at Lincoln Financial Field! He says hey, look at them! They’re being buddies, like Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dumb! Like two toddlers playing in a sandbox. Meanwhile, Logan is a dime. He’s in the real world building empires.
But Kevin and Orton- “WHAT?” Logan tells them to shut up, they’re all idiots. Those two are wasting time on The KO Show? Logan’s two steps ahead of them already. He’s on stage, thinking about his victory at WrestleMania, where he retains and remains your US Champion. Kevin says Logan talks a lot of trash for someone who is literally across the street. They’re right next door. Orton says that’s right. They are very close. Like right out those doors. So is Kevin thinking what Orton is thinking? The fans sure are! And Kevin says yeah, he is! #RKKO heads out! The fans fire up as they go up the bleachers, but then A-Town Down Under sneaks out from under the ring!
Grayson Waller & Austin Theory hurry after Orton and Kevin as part of Logan’s trap, will there be a fight even before the championship match?
SmackDown returns and Kevin confiscates a golf cart!
Randy hops on and they take off! They’re headed for Lincoln Financial, A-Town Down Under trying to run after them! But wait, Theory & Waller will need to be back to face New Catch Republic later tonight. Will this all backfire on The Maverick and his minions?
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal!
The WWE continues to honor the memory and legend that is the Seventh Wonder of the World! And very fittingly, the biggest WrestleMania Weekend has perhaps the literally biggest battle royal yet! There’s Pretty Deadly, The LWO, Legado del Fantasma, Jinder Mahal, Indus Sher, Cameron Grimes, Cedric Alexander, Ashante THEE Adonis, Apollo Crews, Pretty Deadly, The Good Brothers, The Creed Brothers, The Alpha Academy, Ivar, Bronson Reed, Ricochet, JD McDonagh, and of course, Omos. Who proves that no matter their size, they are the biggest thing going in the WWE today?
The bell rings and everyone else gives Omos his space. Pretty Deadly foolishly go after Omos’ legs, but they aren’t enough! Omos clamps onto them, SLAM DUNKS Kit Wilson then CLOBBERS Elton Prince! Omos TOSSES and ELIMINATES Kit, and then Elton freaks out! Elton JUMPS over the top rope and ELIMINATES himself! Omos roars, but then everyone goes after him! The brawl breaks out, and of course Legado goes after LWO! But Humberto arm-drags Angel and Cruz RANAS Humberto, the LWO ELIMINATES Legado already! But then Angel y Humberto just drag Cruz y Joaquin out from under the ropes!
The fans boo as Legado mugs LWO, and then RAMS them into barriers! They feed LWO back into the ring right as Indus Sher ELIMINATES Grimes! Indus Sher & Jinder go after the Alpha Academy and Apollo, but Apollo DUMPS and DECKS Jinder to ELIMINATE him! Veer & Sanga mug Apollo, TOSS him and ELIMINATE him! But the Creeds come back for payback! They DUMP and ELIMINATE Indus Sher! The fans are torn, but the Creeds goes after LWO. Otis ROCKS Gallows, Ivar CLOBBERS JD, and then Bronson SENTONS JD! The Irish Ace suffers, but it’s not over as Omos deadlifts him with both hands, to MOUNTAINTOP BOMB!
The fans boo as Omos stands tall, then he goes after Brutus Creed. The brawling and chaos continues as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns and Omos is outside, as he scoop SLAMS Brutus on the floor! Then he RAMS Julius into barriers! Why? Because as replay shows, Omos went so hard in ELIMINATING Julius & Brutus, he ended up tumbling up and out with them to SELF-ELIMINATE! The Nigerian Giant takes his frustration out on them then storms off. Meanwhile, Wilde goes up and Bronson SHOVES him down to ELIMINATE him! Ivar dodges Cedric Alexander to then LARIAT him up and out and ELIMINATE him! The field has dwindled considerably, with those behemoths remaining, along with Ricochet, Ashante and The Alpha Academy.
Ricochet ENZIGIRIS Ivar, runs up to ROCK Bronson, then ROCK him again! The Academy work son Ashante, but Bronson puts Ricochet on the apron! Ricochet hurries to GAMANGIRI first! Ivar busts through the Academy so he can TOSS and ELIMINATE Ashante! Bronson HEADBUTTS Ricochet down, but Ricochet stays on the apron! Oh, wait, JD McDonagh is lurking on the outside, is he still in this? Meanwhile, the big meaty men all notice each other! Otis stares Bronson and Ivar down and the fans fire up for #MeatMania! Ivar BOOTS Otis, Bronson ROCKS Ivar! Ivar ROCKS Bronson back, they throw hands!
Bronson whips, Ivar ducks ‘n’ dodges, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide!! That shakes the ring and wakes Tozawa up! New Jersey just felt what that was like not too long ago. Bronson staggers up, Ricochet is there to GAMANGIRI! Ricochet then springboards in, but Bronson catches him! And puts him back on the apron! Ricochet GAMANGIRIS Bronson, ROCKS Ivar, but JD YANKS Ricochet down and ELIMINATES him!! The Irish Ace came through on what he “handling” Ricochet for the Judgment Day. JD gets in, brags, but Tozawa SUPERKICKS him out and out to ELIMINATE him!! The fans fire up as the Stamina Monster trumps the Ace!
Tozawa powers up and rips his shirt! Philly is all fired up but uh, then Tozawa realizes he’s surrounded. He gets a BIG BELLY SANDWICH from Bronson and Ivar! Otis rises but Ivar takes aim. HEEL KICK- NO, Otis blocks to WRECKER ELBOW! Otis rolls under Bronson to LARIAT!! The fans fire up as Otis rips his shirt off! Otis takes aim on Bronson for the CATERPILLAR ELBOW~! But Ivar TOSSES Otis up and out to ELIMINATE him! Fans boo but Tozawa HAMMERs away on Ivar! Tozawa runs, into a BOOT! Ivar hauls Tozawa up, and TOSSES Him onto Otis to ELIMINATE Tozawa! The refs check Tozawa, he had a ROUGH landing…
But now, it’s down to the Colossal Aussie and the Viking Raider. The fans rally up with “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and the LARIATS start flying! They CLUB and CLUB and CLUB! Bronson SUPERKICKS! Bronson whips, Ivar rolls off his back! Ivar cartwheels, BOOTS, then whips! Bronson reverses to send Ivar at ropes! Ivar stays up and he ELBOWS back! HEEL KICK O’ DOOM! Bronson is down, and Ivar goes up! DOOMSAULT FLOPS as Bronson moves! Ivar flounders, Bronson runs and ROLLING THUNDERS!? The fans fire up as Bronson then LARIATS Ivar up and out, and WINS!!
Winner: Bronson Reed (2024 Andre the Giant Battle Royal Winner)
Now that was a big win for Big Bad Bronson Reed! Will Auszilla soon dominate like Andre did?
Logan Paul walks into the Wells Fargo Arena?
So it seems The Maverick just led the Viper and Prizefighter on a wild goose chase. Will he keep playing games all the way until WrestleMania Sunday?
The Final Testament speaks.
Karrion Kross says we’re gonna cut the Shakespeare and cut to the chase. His point is to teach Bobby Lashley a simple lesson, and that lesson is in humility. Last year at WrestleMania, they went up to Lashley and told him, “Sorry, Bobby, we got nothing for ya.” The truth is, they didn’t want him! “Oh~ my spot~! CRY ME A RIVER!” You wanna know what happened to their opportunities? Gone. Over issues that had nothing to do with them. Should Kross have sat out there with Lashley? Maybe held his hand and comforted him? They’re all at WrestleMania now because The Final Testament carried this fight to make it must-see.
So on night two, Sunday, WrestleMania, Philly Street Fight, Kross promises you they will light you up with shots you will carry for the rest of your life. So says The Final Testament! In the city that made extreme wrestling famous, who will survive this epic battle?
Logan Paul heads to the ring.
Philly is not so excited to see him but Logan doesn’t care. “Ey yo! Good evening, people of South Jersey. Oh, just found out I’m in Philadelphia, equally as trash. And whoever’s idea it was to make me spend a weekend in Philadelphia, you’re fired.” When he looks around at this crowd and sees people like, well, this guy here in the front row, all he sees are idiots! The fans boo but Logan continues to say that of course these idiots would cheer Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. No, seriously! Think about it. They’re dummies, just like those two are, like-minds attract. They’ve got Logan wrestling two of the dumbest dudes in the WWE!
And how Randy Orton got a head the size of an elephant but the brain the size of a peanut, and Kevin Owens is using all his brain power trying to figure out how to digest his last meal, which likely consisted of roadkill and rubber tires. But Logan, he is a mastermind, a strategist! He is playing 4D chess, a game of cat ‘n’ mouse. “WHAT?” No, no no no. Right now, his associates, Grayson Waller & Austin Theory, are about to lay an ambush down on your heroes, Randy & Kevin. And let Logan tell you, he’s got eyes on the scene! This beat down won’t be pretty. There’s a cameraman on sight, so if you’re squeamish, look away.
We cut to Lincoln Financial, and we do see A-Town Down Under on stage. But they’ve lost track of Orton & Kevin? How? Logan is just as confused as those two, and then surprise! Orton and Kevin sneak back to ringside! Logan says Lincoln Financial is big, they could be anywhere. Then Logan realizes what’s going on, and looks for himself! Logan tries to run but Kevin gets him at the ramp! Kevin sends Logan into barriers, then puts him back in the ring! Orton UPPERCUTS Logan, Kevin hits a STUNNER! Logan falls, the fans fire up, and Orton wonders what they’re chanting. Kevin explains, it’s “RKO!” So Orton hears the voices in his head!
The fans fire up as Logan slowly rises, and Kevin feeds him to the RKO!! The champ is down, but everyone else is loving it! Is Logan going to have a chance of surviving Sunday with the title? Or are we getting a new champion one way or another?
Dragon Lee is down!
Carlito calls for help, someone attacked Dragon! Nick Aldis, Rey Mysterio & Zelina Vega ask who, but Carlito doesn’t know, he only found Dragon like this. But at the same time, who else would it be but Legado? Aldis says Zelina has to go, her match is next. Rey goes with Zelina while Carlito and Aldis stay with Dragon. Will this greatly affect tomorrow’s tag match against Santos & Dominik? Or will this only light a fire inside of Dragon Lee?
Zelina Vega w/ Rey Mysterio VS Elektra Lopez w/ Santos Escobar!
Moving on from the attack backstage, La Muneca and La Madrina have been turning up the Latina Heat and it all boils over tonight! Who wins some early points for their faction in this feud?
Wait, it isn’t just Santos walking with Lopez. Dominik Mysterio AND Andrade El Idolo are here! Is this Legado just rubbing it in now? We’ll see if Zelina can still find a way to win with the odds against her, after the break.
SmackDown returns as the match is already going, and Lopez thrashes Zelina around in a chinlock! Zelina fights up and JAWBREAKERS free! Lopez comes back to forearm, but Zelina gives that back! They go forearm for forearm, then Zelina gets the edge! The fans fire up, Zelina blocks a punch and steps over to ROUNDHOUSE Lopez! Lopez staggers, Zelina runs up and rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans rally, Zelina bumps Lopez off buckles, then JUMP KICKS! Zelina kicks Lopez down, runs and KNEES her away! The fans fire up with Zelina and she runs in at the corner, METEORA! That’s Andrade’s thing! Zelina covers, TWO!
The fans rally up as Zelina goes up a corner. Zelina leaps, but Lopez catches her! Lopez swings Zelina for the SIDE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Legado is frustrated but Lopez dribbles Zelina off the mat. Lopez lets off to go up the corner, but Zelina anchors a foot. Lopez kicks her away, adjusts her position, but Zelina 619s the legs out! The fans fire up and Zelina reels Lopez in, hammerlocks, LA SOMBRA!! Dom distracts the ref, Zelina would’ve won by now! Zelina runs upto SLAP Dom down! Rey then YANKS his son away from the ring! The fans fire up, but then Lopez grabs Zelina by the head! ELEKTRIC SHOCK! Cover, Lopez wins!
Winner: Elektra Lopez, by pinfall
Legado snatches one away again, and then Dom & Santos go after Rey! The fans boo as they add insult to injury. Andrade takes his time joining in, and that annoys Santos & Dom. They tell him to get going already, so Andrade LARIATS Dom!! The fans fire up as Andrade BOOTS Santos and fires off! Andrade TOSSES Santos, LARIATS Dom, and turns out El Idolo is LWO! The fans fire up and Santos asks why! santos says Andrade has signed his death warrant! But the fans cheer as Andrade stands tall with Rey & Zelina! Will this help the LWO stand tall at the end of WrestleMania?
Naomi & Bianca Belair are here!
Philly fires up as The GlowEST head to the ring! They have cowgirl hats and cowgirl boots, and Bianca says everyone knows she has the longEST history with Damage CTRL. Ever since they stepped into the ring with her at SummerSlam two years ago, Bianca has been fighting for her life! Fighting them every single week, time after time, “me, myself and I,” it got so exhausting that Bianca wanted to give up. Until sis Naomi showed up and reminded her what she was fighting for in the first place. And y’know what, sis? DMG CTRL has been doing way too much for far too long, and it’s time to stop them.
Naomi agrees, they were turning Bianca every which way but loose. She was getting dragged, left and right, and Naomi was like no, not the braid! Let go of her hair! Stop it! Bianca says they did that to Naomi, too! What was Naomi thinking? She wasn’t. But regardless, Naomi knows they’re going to WrestleMania! The fans fire up for that! Point to the sign! But the fact is, they needed each other. Naomi needed Bianca, Bianca needed Naomi, but even the GlowEST wasn’t quite enough to take on DMG CTRL. But y’know what DMG CTRL’s problem is? They’ve been at the top for so long, they got cocky.
Sure, DMG CTRL took out almost everyone else that tried to help Bianca, so the last thing they were expecting was someone else to come through. Lucky for Bianca & Naomi, that help comes in the form of the newEST star on SmackDown, and their tag team partner… JADE CARGILL! Philly fires up for the laser lights and the snow! “A storm… is coming.” Jade steps out, also strutting in that Cowboy Carter style, and she joins Bianca & Naomi in the ring. Jade gets a mic to say, “Thank you, Bianca. And thank you, Naomi. And I wanna give a special shout out to Damage CTRL. Cuz y’know, those b-” Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Right, sorry. Those women stepped up and got stepped on. And they gave Jade the best opportunity on the grandest stage to show the WWE what Jade Cargill is all about. And with the EST and the Glow, the Big Three right here, are gonna show why there is NO DAMAGE CONTROL! So this message is for you, Asuka, Kairi & Dakota. “You are now… in the eye of the storm.” The fans like the sound of that, and they all point to the sign with this trio. Will the Empress of Tomorrow, Pirate Princess & #CobraKai find they’re the ones not ready for this?
Jey Uso speaks.
“I said Main Event Jey Uso is now in your city! SmackDown, The Bloodline Family Drama continues! Tonight, I’m whooping up on my little-big brother, Solo Sikoa. Tomorrow night, I’m whooping up on my twin brother, Jimmy Uso! But check it out, though. If you want Solo Sikoa to get this yeet down, lemme hear ya say, YEET!” “YEET!” “YEET!” Jey is ready, will he prove not even The Enforcer of the Island can stop him now?
Andrade regroups with Zelina y Rey backstage.
They all feel good having Andrade helping them out, and then a ref walks in. He has a medical update on Dragon Lee, he sadly is NOT medically cleared for Mania now. What?! No! What is Rey to do about facing Dom & Santos now? Andrade says tranquila. Tomorrow night, Andrade will be Rey’s partner. Rey shakes Andrade’s hand, and then Carlito walks in. Did they hear? Dragon’s out. Yeah, and Andrade is in! W-What? But then Carlito comes around and says okay, they really need to take care of Dom & Santos. You know they will! This showdown of lucha libre is still on, but will The King and The Idol be able to stop The Emperor and The Prodigal Son?
New Catch Republic VS A-Town Down Under!
Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate are ready to climb the ladders in the Undisputed Tag Team Championship match, and supposedly, so are Austin Theory & Grayson Waller. But with Theory & Waller so busy doing Logan’s dirty work, and failing, will this be easy as pie for the Bruiserweight & Big Strong Boi?
SmackDown returns and A-Town Down Under makes their entrance, having returned from Lincoln Financial. The teams sort out, Dunne starts against Theory, and they tie up. They go around, are in a deadlock, but Theory wrenches to a wristlock. Dunne rolls, handsprings, and then kips up to wrench back! Theory scrambles to the ROPEBREAK, and Dunne lets go as the ref counts. Theory DECKS Dunne with a sucker punch! The fans boo, then Theory kicks. Dunne blocks to DRAGON SCREW! Dunne STOMPS Theory’s ankle, then tags in Bate. Bate goes up, and he uses Dunne for the KNEE-BOARD SENTON!
Bate waves at Waller, but dodges Theory to DROPKICK him! Waller tags in, runs up, but Bate wrenches, knuckle locks, and then rolls back to crisscross headscissor! Bate brings Waller along as he goes up a corner, then waves to Philly before the RANA! Waller staggers up, into the fireman’s carry! AIRPLANE SPIN! The fans fire up, but Theory gums up the spin! So Dunne STOMPS those hands! Dunne slingshots, into a HAYMAKER! Bate DIVES and takes out Theory, then lands on his feet! The fans fi reup as Bate hurries in, but Waller BOOTS Bate in the ropes! Waller goes up, brings Bate around, and APRON TORNADO DDTS!
Waller and Theory soak up the heat, bragging that they’re gonna be the new champs, but we’ll have to wait and see as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns as Theory stomps Bate around. Theory whips Bate into the corner, tags Waller, then feeds Bat to Waller’s BACKBREAKER! Waller then stands Bate up for Theory’s SOMERSAULT BLOCKBUSTER! Theory goes to cover but Waller reminds him of the tag. Theory BLASTS Dunne while Waller covers, TWO! A-Town Down Under continues to be out of sorts, but Waller drags Bate up with a facelock. Bate fights the suplex, throws knees, and then Bate suplexes Waller! The fans fire up as the Big Strong Boi gets Waller up and over for the SLAM! The fans rally while both men are down!
Waller and Bate stir, Bate crawls his way over, hot tag to Dunne! The fans fire up as Dunne ENZIGIRIS Waller, ENZIGIRIS Theory, then GAMANGIRIS Waller! GAMANGIRI for Theory, too! GAMANGIRI for Waller again! GERMAN SUPLEX for Theory! Dunne dodges Waller to SNAP GERMAN, then he STOMPS Waller’s hands and BASEMENT DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Dunne clamps onto Waller’s arm. Dunne gets the other arm to bend the fingers! Waller endures, but Theory somersaults and SHOTGUNS Dunne down! Bate says Bop up, BANG! Theory falls, Waller swings, but Bate dodges!
Bate goes scarecrow but Waller JUMP KNEES first! Waller hurries to build speed, slide out, but Bate dodges! Bop up, but Waller BANGS! Waller mocks Bate with some rope-a-dope, then he somersaults at Dunne, into Dunne’s HAYMAKER! Bate hurries to tag in, and then Dunne hauls Waller up. New Catch Republic give Waller the BIRMINGHAMMER! Cover, New Catch Republic win! But then Judgment Day attacks!! We knew JD & Dom were here, we should’ve known the rest were, too! Priest & Finn CLOBBER New Catch Republic, JD & Dom helping out! FLATLINER for Dunne! SOUTH OF HEAVEN for Bate!
The fans boo but the beating isn’t done! Finn feeds Dunne to Priest for the RAZOR’S EDGE!! Now even Waller is a victim as JD hits the DEVLINSIDE! And Dom FROG SPLASHES Dunne! Theory gets up, but is sent SOUTH OF HEAVEN! Then Finn is up, to give Theory COUP DE GRACE!! The fans boo as Judgment Day, Mami included, all stand tall. Will Judgment Day defy the odds and come away with all the belts? Or are they only stoking the flames that will burn them down?
Bayley speaks.
“I’m no stranger to making history. First-ever Women’s Tag Team Champion. First-ever Women’s Grand Slam Champion. But, I decided it was time to create something unique and groundbreaking: Damage CTRL. We shared a vision of taking over WWE, and we did. DMG CTRL was on top of the world. But suddenly, it wasn’t about us anymore. Iyo brought in her old friends, Kairi Sane & Asuka, and I became an outcast somehow. Even after a record breaking Royal Rumble win, Iyo didn’t believe in me.”
Footage replays of Iyo’s interview where she said Bayley only made the group because she lost control and wanted the spotlight. Iyo saw her turning on Bayley as more cutting the deadweight. Bayley keeps questioning what was real. Were they ever friends? Or were they always using her? Bayley built DMG CTRL with all her heart, and will do everything in her soul to break it. Iyo, Bayley is stronger than she’s ever been, more focused than she’s ever been, so really, she should thank Iyo. At WrestleMania, Iyo learns the hard way what happens when you turn a friend into an enemy. Will the Role Model bring the fight and dethrone the Evil Genius?
LA Knight is here!
Philly fires up for the Mega Star as he storms right down to the ring, and he gets a mic to say, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” Knight says AJ Styles VS LA Knight at WrestleMania, “YEAH!” “YEAH!” “YEAH!” It’s in two nights, and Knight is feeling fresh as he walks in with a man that some call The Phenomenal One. Knight wants to level with Styles. Knight does think Styles is phenomenal. At not showing up! At running away! And this Sunday, Styles will be phenomenal at getting STOMPED OUT…! Hold on, gum mishap. By who? “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” The man the call The Mega Star!
So here’s how it goes down. No more time for running. Only time for crying! So get your crying towel, dummy! Go running home to do it! Since all Styles has done since coming back is crying about Knight! But Styles should be thanking Knight. He should be bowing at the altar of LA Knight. Because whenever Knight puts the boots to Styles, he gets people talking about him! Knight makes Styles interesting! Sunday night, Knight will give us plenty to talk about. He won’t just put the boots to Styles. Knight will give Styles three the hard way and boots him through the uprights like Jake Elliot!
And Styles, Philly, the whole damn world will know whose game this is, with everybody saying “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” The Mega Star is all fired up, is he going to bulldoze through the House that AJ Styles Built?
Bobby Lashley, The Street Profits & B-Fab speak.
B-Fab starts by saying it has been the same story the last few months. The Final Testament attack them, the Final Testament attacks them, and then the Final Testament attacks them again. But y’know what? On Sunday, WrestleMania has nowhere to hide, no rules to protect them, no corners to be peeking in. Because they finish this. In a Philly Street Fight! Lashley says Kross wanted to bring them to the dark side, so they’re coming. This weekend, The Pride finishes this
Jey Uso VS Solo Sikoa!
Philly is all fired up singing along with Main Event Jey’s song, and he is ready to YEET The Enforcer of the Island right outta the arena! Will the City of Brotherly Love see what it’s like when brothers fight as enemies?
SmackDown return as Solo makes his entrance. The bell rings, the fans chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey offers his brother a handshake, but Solo takes a swing! Jey counter punches again and again, but Solo shove shim away. Solo runs up but into an UPPERCUT! Jey ENZIGIRIS, then runs up, but Solo puts him on the apron. Jey GAMANGIRIS now, then DUMPS Solo out! Jey builds speed to DIVE into an UPPERCUT! Solo drags Jey to the apron, gets in his face, and APRON URENAGES! Solo roars, the fans boo, but SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Solo clamps onto Jey with double shoulder claws! The fans rally as Jey endures and fights up. Jey throws body shots, then haymakers! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey winds up, puts some stank on it, but Solo clinches! BELLY2BELLY! Cover, TWO! Solo seethes as he looms over Jey, then stalks him to a corner. Solo sits Jey in the corner to rain down fists! The ref counts, Solo doesn’t let off so the ref has to back him off! The ref checks Jey but Jey is somehow still in this. Solo goes to the opposite corner, takes aim, and runs in, but Jey dodges! The hip attack hits buckles, and Jey stands up!
Jey counter punches again! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” The fans fire up as Jey pops ‘n’ locks and puts on some stank for the HAYMAKER! Jey whips, Solo reverses but Jey manages to land out of the flapjack! Mule kick, UPPERCUT, but then Solo blocks the superkick! The DRAGON WHIP still hits! Solo ends up in the corner and the fans fire up for “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Jey runs in to HIP ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Solo survives but Jey keeps his cool. Jey aims from the corner, Solo stands, and Jey runs in! But Solo manages to SAMOAN DROP Jey after all! And he prepares his thumb! Solo stands Jey up for the SAMOAN- NO, Jey SUPERKICKS!
Solo stays up, so Jey SUPERKICKS again! Solo swings, Jey dodges and SPEARS! Message sent to The Tribal Chief and then Jey goes up! USO SPLASH!! Cover, BUT JIMMY ATTACKS!
Winner: Jey Uso, by disqualification
Jimmy rains down fists, he won’t let his brother have moment before their showdown! Jimmy drags Jey up, Solo adds on, and then Solo takes aim! But here comes Cody!! The fans fire up as he AND Seth Rollins rush out here! They brawl with The Bloodline, wanting payback for how Raw ended! SUPERKICK from Cody to Jimmy, SUPERKICK from Rollins to Solo! Cody gives Solo the CODY CUTTER!! The American Nightmare then brings out the weight belt! The very one The Rock used on him on Monday! And he LASHES Jimmy! And he LASHES Solo! The fans fire up as The Bloodline goes running!
But Jey gets Jimmy and puts him back in the ring! The fans chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” but Jimmy wants mercy! So Cody gives Rollins the weight belt, then dragon sleepers Jimmy! CROSS RHODES! Rollins holds up the weight belt, the fans fire up and sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins nods, winds up, and says The Bloodline can take this message right to Roman! LASH!! Jey then goes up to USO SPLASH onto Jimmy!! Philly is thunderous and Cody gets a mic. Cody hears the fans chant his name, and he says, “Forty years of WrestleMania. Can you feel that? Forty YEARS of WrestleMania. Talk about the pressure.
“Tomorrow night, myself, my partner, my friend, the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Freakin’ Rollins, we are going to SLAP the Final Boss, The Rock, so hard that his ego lifts out of his body like his soul, and he remembers what it’s like to be The People’s Champion. We are going to shatter the foundation of The Bloodline, and on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday…! I am going to dethrone The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns!” Philly likes the sound of that! Cody says he is fighting for every moment that has defined him, for every single fan that has believed in him, and for everyone who has ever dreamed out in the open.
Cody’s dream is to become champion, so this Sunday, know this. “When one good story ends, an even better one begins.” The fans love the sound of that! Will WrestleMania 40 be just where Cody finally finishes the story?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown, especially as the go-home to WrestleMania right tomorrow. That was definitely the Mania cold open with Meek Mill we’re getting for Mania, but nice of them to share it now for those who for whatever reason aren’t going to watch Mania on Peacock or even cable PPV. Really fun stuff out of the US Championship story with The KO Show to open, the “wild goose chase” backfiring on Logan, and Logan getting taken out like that. Though, that all feeds into the math I’ve been figuring on where Logan finds a way to retain because Kevin and Randy will have no choice but to stop being friendly.
At this point, Waller & Theory are probably gonna stop being friendly since they looked like dummies trying to help Logan and then lost their match tonight. Now, Bate & Dunne won, but then Judgment Day demolished them and A-Town Down Under, so the math is a bit muddied. I’m personally still leaning towards New Catch Republic taking the blue belts and being the SmackDown Tag Team Champions. But also, good integration with the Legado VS LWO story. I definitely did not see Andrade turning on Dom & Legado so soon, and what is up with Dragon Lee always being on the losing end of things? But I’m thinking after being snubbed twice for the position of Rey’s partner, Carlito surely turns on LWO and costs Rey the match, which really spices up the feud going forward.
Good promos from The Final Testament and The Pride, though to be honest, I can’t be sure Lashley’s group actually gave themselves their name just yet. The shirts they were wearing were really cool, though. And that Philly Street Fight Six Man is going to be wild, with The Pride surely winning. Great promos from Bayley, Naomi, Bianca and Jade ahead of them facing DMG CTRL in the different matches. Still can’t be sure Bayley beats Iyo but you gotta believe Naomi, Bianca & Jade win because that’s both the logical story move and this is Jade’s first real match in WWE, so she’s gotta win to get herself going.
Really good promo from LA Knight to get everyone fired up for his match with Styles, and I would think Knight comes out on top. It’s not like Styles is going to be hurt putting over the Face in this story, and honestly, Knight really needs something good coming out of Mania to propel him towards another title opportunity of some sort. Knight might even face Logan for the US title on the way to Backlash France or something. And a great battle royal tonight, and while on Raw I didn’t expect Bronson to win, he really is the right choice and I’m glad he got this. I have been saying Bronson needs to finally get something after returning to WWE, and being part of the Andre the Giant trophy lineage could be just the thing to get him going towards his own title opportunities.
And while a bit more under the radar this week compared to other weeks, still really good stuff in the all-encompassing Bloodline story. Good promo from Jey to hype up the main event, and he even had a really good match with Solo building, but of course Jimmy attacked. Cody and Rollins showing up to turn the tables was a good move, and in a way, this still keeps in line with how the math was looking on Raw. Night One surely belongs to The Bloodline, as far as Rock & Roman beating Rollins & Cody to put Bloodline Rules on the Universal Championship match. Jey could probably still beat Jimmy, but then Rollins and Cody are going to be on the defensive going into Night Two, making Cody winning all the more epic.
My Score: 8.8/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

Cage THROWS Knight away!
Knight staggers, Cage SUPERKICKS him down! “Who betta than Cage?!” The fans fire up as Cage storms up on Knight, stands him up, and bumps him off buckles. Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!
Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cage refreshes the ring count, drags Knight up again, and hits an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Knight writhes, Cage refreshes the count again, then he whips Knight into barriers! Knight practically falls into the laps of the front row! But Cage brings Knight around to CHOP him down! Cage soaks up the cheers and jeers before he brings Knight around again. Cage SMACKS Knight off the apron, then puts him in the ring. Cage storms into the ring, drags Knight by his legs, and ties the legs up into a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Knight endures as Cage sits deep! Knight powers up, fights his way forward, and he reaches to the ROPEBREAK!

Cage slingshots Knight into a facelock, for a SPIRALING SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!
Knight survives and Cage is frustrated, but Cage decides to write Knight off. Cage drags Knight up, reels him in, and suplexes, DRILL- NO, Knight slips free to waistlock. But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight. Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off shots, then fires a flurry of haymakers! But Cage grabs and TOSSES Knight to a corner!

Knight aims, MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!
Ace clutches his arm as Ospreay shows his training already. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then whips Ace. Ace reverses, he blocks a boot, but not the AX KICK!

The fans cheer while Ace lets go. Ospreay checks his neck but he is alright to continue. Ace drags Ospreay up, reels him in, but Ospreay wrenches out to SOBAT! Ospreay whips, Ace reverses, but Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RAN- NO! Ace blocks to swing Ospreay up into a fireman’s carry! Ace does a squat for the DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Ace flexes, covers, TWO! Ospreay stay sin this while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ace is frustrated already, but he stalks Ospreay to ropes. Ace kicks Ospreay around, CLUBS him down, but Ospreay fires back. Ace bumps Ospreay off buckles, kicks and ROCKS him, then snapmares. Ace KNEES Ospreay in the back, then clamps on with a chinlock. Ospreay endures, even as Ace cranks the neck, and Ospreay fires shots from below. Ace DECKS Ospreay for it!

Ospreay goes to a corner, Ace CHOPS him, then reels Ospreay in for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Ospreay toughs it out but Ace drags him around.

Down goes Ospreay and the fans fire up! Ace drags Ospreay up, but Ospreay puts him int he ring! Ace rewinds to headscissor, but Ospreay pops Ace up to SUPERKICK the arm out! Ospreay then climbs up, takes aim, and BLINDSIDE FOREARM!
The fans fire up as Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Ace survives and Ospreay is stunned! Ospreay just shakes it off, goes to the corner, and takes aim.

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10
