Mercedes Mone is here!
The CEO is now the Face of TBS after her win at Double or Nothing, and it’s time to celebrate! Mone goes to the ring, gets a mic, and the fans continue to chant “C E O! C E O!” Mone tells “Los Angeleeeees~! Please say hello to your CEO, and your NEW TBS Champion!” The fans cheer that. “Wasn’t I worth the wait? Didn’t I tell you money changes everything? And I did exactly that this past Sunday at Double or Nothing. You see, not only did we celebrate five years of AEW, we celebrated the in-ring return of the greatest of all time: me.” The fans chant for the “C E O! C E O!” again and she is so proud to say this past Sunday, she and Willow tore the house down!
Willow had the run of her career, and gave Mone the fight of her life. But damn, girl~! Willow is just way too nice. Mone could see a mile away that Kris & Stokely were gonna screw Willow over. But when Willow comes back, Mone wants her to come back better than ever to kick some ass! Now, back to Mone’s celebration. The fans chant for her again, and Mone says being the Face of TBS puts a target on her back. But she’s not afraid, she’s born for this! We’re just three weeks away from Forbidden Door, and she can’t wait to see- “Mercedes~!” Skye Blue calls her out from the tron. And she got Mone a little something for her celebration.
Flashback to when Mone was jumped in the dark! Now that was some of Skye’s best work. And she’s just getting started. Because here she comes from the crowd! It was all a set-up! Fireman’s carry and T K O!! Skye digs her knee into Mone’s neck while holding up the belt. Will Skye Blue take the gold from Mone in New York?
The Elite arrive.
The Young Bucks drive a truck and have Kazuchika Okada in the back, but Jack Perry drives the Scapegoat Bus. The Elite all strut in, victorious from Double or Nothing, what will they have to say about AEW’s future under their control?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS “Killswitch” Luchasaurus!
The Realest is still THE AEW World Champion, as he kicked Christian Cage out of Swerve’s House. However, Captain Charisma now sends his human-dinosaur henchman to destroy Swerve’s House, foundation and all! Will the Right Hand of Destruction succeed where Christian failed?
The bell rings and the two circle. The Kia Forum is “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” as Swerve avoids Luchasaurus then CHOPS! Swerve still stays back, avoids Luchasaurus again and CHOPS, but Luchasaurus grabs Swerve to TOSS him to a corner! Swerve dodges Luchasaurus, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then KICKS!

Swerve sits down in the corner but Luchasaurus drags him back up. Luchasaurus CHOKES Swerve on ropes, lets off as the ref counts, but then pulls Swerve back against the ropes! The ref counts again, Luchasaurus fishhooks Swerve then lets him go. Luchasaurus sits Swerve up to CLUB him in the chest! Swerve flops to the apron, Luchasaurus drags him up again, and turns him around in the ropes so he can bend Swerve back while smothering him at the same time!

It took more to take down the monster than most, but Nana presents scissors! Swerve smiles, and he has Luchasaurus’ hair now! Swerve cuts a lock of the dinosaur’s mane as retribution! Swerve has cleared out The Patriarchy, and all eyes will be on tonight’s Casino Gauntlet match! Who makes it out of that wild scramble to knock on the Forbidden Door to Swerve’s House?
Tony Schiavone speaks from commentary.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are back live on Dynamite here in Los Angeles and the Kia Forum. What you saw at the beginning of the program with Skye Blue attacking Mercedes Mone has not gone unnoticed. Tony Khan has made this special announcement for the program tonight. Mercedes Mone will have her first title defense for the TBS title right here tonight, right here in the Kia Forum, and she will defend against Skye Blue! And that’s coming up tonight, here live!” A big money move from TK, but will Mone be ready to put it all on the line so soon after going Double or Nothing?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Rocky Romero wants a spot at Forbidden Door, big international showcase, who doesn’t? Rocky’s not stupid, he thinks this is how he’s gonna get it. Azucar, one the most dangerous men in the game, one of the most experience guys in the game, can beat anybody in the world on any given night. His little smart idea for me to take this eliminator match tonight, I’m a one-armed man, I’m far from 100%. But no, it’s not a smart idea, it’s a very, very dumb idea. It’s a very bad idea. But when am I ever 100%? That’s what champions do. They show up, they get in the ring, and they bust their ass.
“I’m not pissing away at Disneyland today, it’s the Kia Forum, it’s Dynamite, it’s live. I’ll be at Osaka-Jo Hall for Dominion after that. And I’ll be at Bloodsport in Ryogoku Hall after that. I’ll be at Forbidden Door in New York after that. And it’ll be the same as it’s always been since the beginning. Five years now, I’ll be the man that stands atop NJPW and AEW, and anywhere the hell else I wanna go.” The Maniac is more than ready, will he make Azucar taste the bitterness of defeat?
“Big” Bill Morrissey is in the ring.
The rather goofy talk show set is ready as “The Redwood” welcomes us to the debut episode of TV Time with The Learning Tree, Chris Jericho! And speaking of, here comes Jericho! The “For The World” Champion of 39 days waves and smiles to the fans as he joins Bill in the ring. Jericho then gets a mic to ask, “Who wants more TV Time? You know I do!” And Bill got cut off before he could do the whole introduction! Tell them what more there was to say! Bill says yes, he will do that. “If there’s one thing that Chris has always taught me, it’s that even though the leaves may come down in the Fall, they always grow back in the Spring stronger and brighter than ever.”
Bill is pretty sure that applies here. Jericho believes so. Jericho thanks Bill for those inspiring words, and he thanks all the fans for making the new Learning Tree University shirt the number one shirt on Shop AEW! Thanks so much! Good job! Who wants a free one? The fans don’t mind that, but then Jericho just puts the shirt on a corner. Jericho thanks all the “branches” who have sat under his Learning Tree and helped make him number one. Thank you for that. And also thank you for supporting him as the longest-reigning For The World Champion at 39 days. He was able to retain at Double or Nothing, but Hook and Shibata are really tough.
They dumped him on his head and boy does it smart. Jericho laughs it off, and says if adversity is ice cream, always put a cherry on top. What? Jericho wants us to remember: Many are called, only few answer. Many reach out, only a few are chosen. And many talk the talk of wanting to sit under the Learning Tree, but very few walk the walk. Jericho will bring out a man who walked right under the shade of the Learning Tree this past Sunday. Welcome to TV Time, the Bounty Hunter, Bryan Keith! The fans boo as Keith makes his way out to the ring to join Jericho & Bill. Jericho shakes Bryan’ s hand and wants fans to give him a round of applause.
Now, what made Bryan Keith want to be sucked into the Jericho Vortex and become a disciple of the Learning Tree? Keith tells Jericho that he noticed a lack of respect for Jericho here in AEW. EIGHT-TIME World Champion, 30 YEARS world traveled, and the longest-reigning FTW Champion in history! Keith says honestly, he can’t believe more people didn’t jump at this opportunity! The fans chant to STFU but Keith says this is what he means! Jericho says watch your language, this is a family show. But Keith says that is the lack of respect right there! They’re lucky to breathe the same air as Jericho! Show respect! Show respect! Those kids, you show respect!
Jericho calms Bryan down, this isn’t a yelling moment, this is a teaching moment. Bryan calms down and Jericho says the lesson is, if you want something to happen, you got out and grab it! That’s what Bryan did, Jericho respects that he’s a bad, bad man. Maybe even a bad apple! Jericho likes that! The Bad Apple doesn’t fall far from the Learning Tree! Keith is now welcome to stay in the vortex and grow under the Learning Tree as long as he wants. But wait! Here comes HOOK! The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is in no mood, and he THROWS security around! Then here comes Samoa Joe?! Joe gets in Hook’s way!?
The fans fire up for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” as he stares Hook down. But then Joe whispers something, and he moves aside! Hook snarls at The Learning Tree and friends, and then follows Joe outta here? Hook didn’t listen before, but what is it that has him following Joe’s lead now? Jericho waves bye, then thanks the fans for tonight.
AEW takes a look at Stephanie Vaquer.
La Primera is CMLL Women’s World Champion, CMLL Women’s Tag Team Champion, and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, but she is looking to go after the gold in AEW! The Forbidden Door is opening, who will Vaquer look to vanquish first?
IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Title Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Rocky Romero!
The Maniac admitted he is far from 100%, but also made sure we understood that doesn’t matter. Will Moxley be able to win with one good arm as he also has The King of Darkness waiting for him in 11 days? Or is Azucar going to kick the Forbidden Door wide open?
The bell rings and Rocky DROPKICKS Moxley right out! Then he DIVES! Down goes Moxley and the fans fire up with Rocky! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then he UPPERCUTS Moxley! The ring count starts, but Rocky SLAMS the bad arm off the desk! Rocky follows Moxley around the way, whips, but Moxley reverses to put Rocky in the ring. Moxley slides in but Rocky kicks the arm! And KICKS! And KICKS! And KICKS again! Rocky gets Moxley up but Moxley X PLEXES first! Rocky flounders, but Moxley clamps on to ELBOW, KICK, and repeat! Moxley then just HAMMERS away with elbows before one more KICK!
The fans rally while Rocky writhes, and Moxley drags him up. Moxley puts Rocky in a corner, CHOPS, then hoists him up top. Moxley CHOPS again, climbs up, but Rocky wrenches the bad arm! The fans rally, Rocky SNAPS the fingers! Moxley steps back, Rocky DOUBLE STOMPS the bad arm! Rocky WRINGS the bad arm out, then he runs up to SHOTGUN Moxley down! Moxley goes to the apron, the fans duel, and Rocky storms up. Moxley grabs Rocky in a SLEEPER! But Rocky pulls the bad arm! HOTSHOT! Rocky gets up to KICK Moxley in the ropes, then goes up the corner, to GUILLOTINE MISSILE DROPKICK!
Moxley flops down, Rocky goes to the apron and grabs the arm. HOTSHOT! Moxley grits his teeth, the ref reprimands, but Rocky grabs at the bad arm again. Rocky pulls Moxley into the ropes while Dynamite goes picture in picture!
The ref reprimands and counts, Rocky lets go at 4, and Moxley flounders away. Rocky runs up, but Moxley CHOPS! Moxley eggs Rocky on, Rocky CHOPS! Moxley fires a forearm, Rocky KICKS the arm! Rocky wrenches to an ELBOW BREAKER! Then he hammerlocks and RAMS Moxley into buckles! Moxley flops to the apron again, Rocky fires up with a soccer knee slide, then he goes after Moxley on the outside. Moxley kicks Rocky, then crotches him on the railing! Moxley goes to the crowd so he can CLOBBER Rocky back to ringside! Moxley storms after Rocky, whips him, but Rocky reverses and sends Moxley into steel steps!
Rocky stomps Moxley, puts him in the ring, then covers, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but the count is the count. Rocky KNEES Moxley in the back! Rocky drags Moxley up to CHOP! Moxley CHOPS back! Rocky CHOPS again! Rocky eggs Moxley on, Moxley CHOPS! Rocky KICKS the leg, hammerlocks it, and adds a SLEEPER! Moxley endures, reaches out, fights up and he fireman’s carries Rocky to a corner! Dynamite returns to single picture as Moxley CHOPS again! Moxley goes up to fire off forearms, but Rocky CLAWS Moxley’s face! So Moxley BITES Rocky’s face! The ref reprimands but the fans fire up as Moxley reels Rocky in!
Moxley brings Rocky up, SUPERPLEX! Both men are down but the fans fire up! Rocky rolls away to the far side and the fans rally. Moxley rises, runs in, and clotheslines in the corner! Moxley goes up and he fires down fists! Moxley goes past ten, stops at 15, then runs. Rocky dodges, KICKS, but Moxley ROCKS Rocky! Rocky KICKS again! Moxley ROCKS Rocky! Rocky fires up, the fans are torn, and Rocky KICKS! KICKS! And UPPERCUTS! Moxley CUTTERS!! Outta nowhere like a viper, and the fans rally up. Moxley rams his bad arm into the mat to get it feeling right. Rocky is in a corner, Moxley runs up, but into an UPPERCUT!
Rocky goes up, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! But into the ARMBAR!! Moxley clasps hands to fight it off but Rocky stomps Moxley’s head! Moxley still holds on, rolls and gets around to facelock. Moxley fires knee after knee into Rocky’s head, then clamps on the BULLY CHOKE!! Rocky sputters but he’s turning red! Moxley’s bad arm can’t hold, so Rocky slips out! Rocky hammerlocks the good arm to pull on the bad arm! DARK SACRIFICE! Moxley writhes and hobbles to a corner. Rocky runs up but Moxley ELBOWS him! Moxley BOOTS Rocky, goes up, but Rocky UPPERCUTS! Rocky goes up after Moxley, for a SUPER FLYING ARMBAR!!
Moxley flails, reaches out, kicks around, but Rocky pulls on the arm! Moxley fights to turn Rocky, stands up, and he stomps at Rocky’s face! Rocky lets go, but he kicks Moxley’s leg! Rocky ENZIGIRIS from below! Moxley staggers, Rocky storms up on him, but Moxley LARIATS! Moxley storms back up on Rocky, but Rocky goes after the arm! Moxley whips free and DISCUS LARIATS through! Moxley gets Rocky up, underhooks, DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (denies Rocky Romero a title opportunity)
A rough ride for Rocky tonight, but Moxley moves on towards his next challenge! Will Moxley arrive in Osaka-Jo Hall only to find Everything is Evil?
Backstage interview with Samoa Joe & Hook.
Renee Paquette stands by as the two talk. She asks them what that was out there. Joe says tonight, they learned their first lesson: We do not exist on their time. No, truly dangerous men exist on their own time. Joe & Hook head out together again, will Joe’s mentoring be what helps Hook reach that next level?
Don Callis is here!
The fans boo as Callis goes to the ring to say, “I have something important to tell you.” The fans boo more, but he points out that what he has in his hand is more valuable than gold or diamonds. This is a contract to work with The Don Callis Family. The fans keep booing, but Callis keeps going. “It’s been one of the great pleasures of my life to be able to scout a talent like Orange Cassidy! In fact, when I see Orange, I see myself.” But speaking of, here comes Cassidy! Freshly Squeezed brought back Jane, the white T, and the aviators, he’s in a good mood apparently after beating Trent Beretta at Double or Nothing.
Cassidy joins Callis in the ring and Callis says this is the moment the world has been waiting for! Callis feels he should do it like Cassidy, a hand in pocket. Well, Orange is truly an iconic performer in this industry. Cassidy is truly a star wherever he goes. Cassidy has made some bad choices, but now Callis will work with him. So without further ado, Callis welcomes Cassidy to the Family with this contract. The fans say “NO! NO! NO!” but Callis says he’s filled it all out, all Cassidy has to do is sign. But then Cassidy slowly rips the contract up! Callis is in disbelief! The fans cheer Cassidy on and he get a mic. “Hey, uh, Don. No.”
Callis tells Cassidy, “Who do you thin you’re talking to? No one says no to me, Orange! I tell YOU what you’re gonna do!” Cassidy takes off his sunglasses, but then Stokely Hathaway makes his way out here! As AEW’s Number One Hater, Stokely does not like Cassidy. Not the way he walks, not the way he talks. There is not a single thing Stokely likes! In fact, O M G, Cassidy is just like Willow Nightingale! The only reason Stokely’s here is because of Kris. Kris says on behalf of her best friend, she is so happy to announce that he accepts Callis’ invitation to the Don Callis Family. Wait, who does she mean?
TRENT IS IN THE RING!! He runs up to CLOBBER Cassidy! And he rains down fists on Cassidy! The fans boo, Stokely & Kris smile as they take their leave. The fans tell Trent off but Trent keeps on throwing down hands! Trent says he HATES Cassidy, and he’s punched Cassidy open! Callis gets Trent to stop, but also wants Trent to take it easy. Trent opens his arms to Callis, and they HUG!! Trent and Callis have made their alliance official with a hug and the blood of Freshly Squeezed. And they both stomp away on Cassidy! Now it won’t be #JustTrent, it’ll be Trent and the Don Callis Family! What does Cassidy have left to lose?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Will Ospreay may be the NEW AEW International Champion, but he already puts his belt on the line against Kyle O’Reilly! Will the Aerial Assassin already have a notch on his belt after Saturday? Or will #CombatKyle make Ospreay’s reign one of the shortest in history?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Matthew Menard.
Renee is with the Dragonslayer and Daddy Magic, and says Garcia asked for this time. Is there something he wants to get off his chest? Garcia says he was looking over his shoulder a bit. This place is full of bloodthirsty killers now and he loves it. Sometimes, he feels like one of those guys, but sometimes he feels stuck in his own head, stuck in the same place as he was before. He feels like he’s trudging through mud while others have so much confidence. Why wouldn’t they? They get the red carpet rolled out for them, getting whatever they want. Garcia feels like it is time for him to drag them all across that red carpet as he goes straight for that International Championship.
Renee brings up that Ospreay is the new International Champion, and Garcia says he doesn’t care. He tells the champ that he will climb up the ranks, take that title, and then make Ospreay’s bags a little bit lighter for those flights home to London. Respectfully. The Red Death has spoken, will he be going right after the #BillyGOAT after Saturday?
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Skye Blue!
The CEO wasn’t planning on going from celebrating to fighting, but she isn’t going to complain. Will she just make sure Skye pays for attacking her out of nowhere again? Or will Skye go from blue to gold in the City of Angels?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see how much Mone has left in the tank!
The bell rings, Skye rushes in, but Mone hits first! Mone bumps Skye off buckles, off more buckles, then off a third corner’s buckles! Mone fires off forearms again and again, then whips corner to corner. Skye reverses, runs up, but Mone slips out and KNEES from the apron! Mone goes up and up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Skye tumbles and staggers up, Mone DROPKICKS her down! Cover, ONE!! Mone is upset by this, she brings Skye up, but Skye swings on her! Mone ducks it but Skye puts her in ropes. Mone RAMS Skye, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS! Skye tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Mone waits on Skye.
Skye goes around the way, catches her breath, but Mone runs to WRECK her with a dropkick! Mone goes to the apron and METEORAS to the floor! Mone smiles and she drags Skye back up. Mone puts Skye in, covers, TWO! Mone is annoyed but she paces around Skye. The fans rally for the CEO as she brings Skye up, suplexes, but Skye counters to a cradle, TWO! Skye swings again, Mone gets under and waistlocks to go back to the apron. Skye BOOTS Mone this time! Mone is stuck, Skye brings her out along ropes, for a DRAPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mone survives and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Skye rains down fists on Mone, lets off to mock Mone’s swagger, and then has Mone on ropes. Skye CHOKES Mone, the ref counts, and Skye lets off at 4. Mone goes to a corner, Skye stomps a mudhole in, then lets off as the ref counts. Skye drags Mone up to bump her off buckles, then mocks the fans. Skye bumps Mone but Mone bumps Skye back! Mone takes a swing but Skye dodges to fire off on Mone! Skye digs her boot into Mone’s neck, blows a kiss, then lets off as the ref counts. Skye storms back up, brings Mone up, but Mone fires off body shots. Skye CLUBS Mone down, then clamps on with a SLEEPER!
Mone endures, reaches out, and the fans rally. Mone fights to her feet but Skye becomes a backpack! Mone RAMS Skye into buckles! And again! And then she snapmares free, to basement dropkick! Mone drags Skye back up, but Skye ENZIGIRIS! Mone falls over, Skye huffs and puffs and covers, TWO! Skye is frustrated so she covers again, TWO! Skye drags Mone around into a chinlock and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally, Mone fights up, and she JAWBREAKERS free! Skye runs up but Mone ELBOWS her! And BOOTS her! And then goes up to DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! And then SUNSET BOMB! METEORA! Cover, TWO!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Skye tried but she couldn’t tear down The CEO! Mone celebrates again, but wait! Stephanie Vaquer is HERE! We knew she’d be stepping through the Forbidden Door, and she’s already calling out the Face of TBS! Vaquer holds up her NJPW Strong Women’s Championship but Mone holds up her TBS Championship, who walks away the top champion in New York City?
Renee waits outside the medical room.
She is waiting for an update on Orange Cassidy, but Stokely & Kris walk over and excuse her. Renee moves aside and Stokely takes the mic. Stokely tells Willow that she never ceases to amaze him, and he doesn’t mean that in a good way. Imagine being damn near 30 and thinking Disneyworld is a magical place, and that so is real life. Willow, this started weeks ago, months even. The catalyst was March 27th, live on Dynamite. Fatal 4 Way #1 Contender’s match, and Willow was in that match with her best friend, Kris. Kris said she wanted to become champion again, but Willow didn’t listen. But who did listen? Stokely listened. He’ll always listen to Kris, he’ll always be a shoulder to cry on.
Kris is a former TBS Champion, the best in the world, returned from back-to-back ACL injuries, and truth be told, most of these b*tches back here get so much as a sinus infection, and they want to stay home from work. Now before anyone gets mad, he wasn’t even talking about the Women’s Division! Ladies and gentlemen, the new and improved Kris Statlander! Kris thanks Stokely and takes the mic. Kris says that when she finally does something for herself, she gets booed for it! This is why she had to make the change she did.
They don’t care about Kris & Stokely, they all just want Kris to help everyone else be okay, or to pick up everyone else when they’re down, or to be the bodyguard for all these spineless, selfish people who don’t bat an eye when things go wrong, cuz “Ol’ Statlander” will show up. Kris doesn’t blame them, though. She is #MoreThanAWoman, and she is DONE being the protector. Now you’re all gonna need protection from her! Stokely smiles, even as she shoves the mic back at him. Is this Kris going to take over the world?
The Young Bucks head to the ring!
Los Angeles boos The EVPs as they rise from the Elite-evator and walk down the ramp. And then Matthew flips the coin, and here comes The Rainmaker! And then here comes Jack Perry! The full Elite goes to the ring together, still being booed. Matt makes sure the Reebok Pumps are pumped up now, but the fans chant “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Okada tells them all, “Shut up, b*tches!” The fans do cheer for Okada, he’s the one member of The Elite they like. But then Jack talks and says, “First thing’s first, let’s get one thing straight. The Elite run this s*it! Tony Khan & Kenny Omega handpicked their dream team, and these guys pulled out all the stops. They even set me on fire!”
But not only did The Elite still win, but Jack’s first match back in AEW in nine MONTHS, he took his piece of the American Dragon when he pinned one of the greatest wrestlers to ever live. Nicholas says what a fantastic week it has been for The Elite. On Monday, they released the special edition Reebok Pumps, and it became the hottest selling shoe in years! That performance on Sunday by Jack and Okada was unbelievable! So The Bucks are here bearing gifts! Small gifts, but still. They got Okada a brand new Lamborghini! Okada is so excited! Is this real? Is this a dream? Nick starts a “You Deserve It!” chant and the fans join in as Okada is emotional.
Okada then gets serious and lets Matt have the mic. Matt says to business! At Double or Nothing, during the TNT Championship’s Barbed Wire Steel Cage match, Adam Copeland was badly injured. The fans boo but Matt says that is more on him. Right before that match, Matt was there and he wished Adam good luck and said, “Break a leg.” Haha. Matt jinxed Adam, sorry about that. But The Bucks are praying for Edge, he’ll come back stronger, this just sucks. However as EVPs, they must make the tough decisions. So Adam Copeland… Tonight, you are hereby stripped of the TNT Championship. The fans boo!
Bugt hey, the network is on their case for a NEW TNT Champion, and well, The Bucks know just the guy! After the BIGGEST pinfall victory of his entire career during Anarchy in the Arena, ladies and gentlemen, may they present the NEW TNT Champion, The Scapegoat, Jack Perry!! But wait, Christopher Daniels storms out here! The Fallen Angel says the last time they spoke, the Bucks mentioned a severance package for him. He wanted to let them know that he doesn’t need it anymore, because he’s got a brand new job. Tony Khan named Daniels the INTERIM EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT! So that means, when Daniels says something, it might as well come from TK himself!
Matt tells CD to tread lightly! But he tells “young man” Matthew not to disrespect him! Call him by his God-given name, Christopher! The fans cheer as Daniels is giving The Bucks a taste of their own medicine! Now, as far as the TNT Championship goes, they aren’t just giving it away. This is AEW, where the best wrestle! If Jack wants to be a champion, he’s gotta earn it! And don’t worry, he’ll get an opportunity to do just that. Because in the next few weeks, we will have qualifying matches! No managers or seconds allowed ringside, no outside interference! The winners of these matches go on to Forbidden Door to wrestle for the vacant TNT Championship, IN A LADDER MATCH!
The fans love that idea! And the first qualifier is happening on Friday Night Rampage, in the best town he’s ever been in, right here in LOS ANGELES! Matt says he’s fine to see Christopher back. The Elite will all go “show” him just how happy they are! But then THE ACCLAIMED hurry out here! Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn are backing up The Fallen Angel against The Elite, now we’ve got even numbers! The Bucks have their boys back up. Will Platinum Max & The Five Tool Player look to go after those tag titles? Who else will be in this Face of TNT Ladder Match series?
Swerve Strickland & Prince Nana talk backstage.
They stand in front of the Wall of Fame, and Nana tells Boss Swerve that he might as well be Stevie Wonder, because there is nobody that can see Swerve in that ring! Swerve says coming off Double or Nothing, he got to take down another legend in Christian Cage. Swerve applauds Christian’s efforts, and says he needed that. Now, like a diss track, he got the lick back and gave Killswitch the Killshot, and he returned the favor. Now he’s got his own little trophy. Yuo wanna take his title? He takes your hair.
But moving to tonight’s main event, he is very curious to see who his next challenger will be. Whenever, wherever, whoever, Swerve can see some great surprises lined up for the Casino Gauntlet. Former champions, current champions, future champions, but who is gonna step to whose house? Swerve’s House, and get stomped out. He’ll be watching. Swerve laughs his way out, but who has the last laugh in this free-for-all?
Rush speaks.
“MJF. Congratulations on your return to AEW. But you’re not the star here! I AM! Just remember: if you mess with The Bull, you get the horns!” El Toro Blanco has called out the Salt of the Earth, will MJF just have to show Rush he really IS better than him, and he knows it?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
One: it will once again be at the special start time of 6:30 PM Eastern! Two: We have Satnam Singh in action, the beginnings of the Face of TNT Ladder Match series, and an AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator as Toni Storm takes on Viva Van! Will the Hellbent Vixen be able to weather the Storm and get her own title opportunity?
AEW World Championship #1 Contender’s Casino Gauntlet!
The first instance of the Casino Gauntlet for AEW’s Homecoming was a wild one, and named a contender to the International Championship. Ospreay won that and then won the gold, but will the same happen this time?
First out, representing the Bang Bang Gang, it’s Switchblade Jay White! But meeting him is… THE BASTARD! Pac couldn’t take the Trios titles, but can he take away this opportunity from White? The bell rings and Pac BOOTS White right down! Pac stomps away on White in a corner, digs his boots in, then lets off. Pac brings White around, bumps him off buckles, then bumps him off more buckles! White flounders but Pac gets him up. Pac uses White’s own robe to CHOKE him! Pac doesn’t have to let off, either, as there are no disqualifications in this one! Pac TOSSES White out, then goes out after him.
Fans fire up as Pac sends White into barriers! White falls back, Pac drags him up and whips him into more barriers! White slumps down, Pac brings him around again. Pac glares through the camera, and he SMACKS White off apron! White sits down, Pac stands him up and SMACKS him off it again! White sputters, but Pac stands him up to SMACK him off apron yet again! The fans cheer but White CHOPS! White gets away, Pac snarls, that handprint is back already. Pac RAMS into White, slingshots up and over and keeps moving, and he RANAS White! White tumbles out, Pac builds speed, and Pac FLIES! Down goes White and the fans fire up again!
Pac drags White up, puts him in, then hurries back up. Pac aims from the top rope, White stands, and the MISSILE DROPKICK hits! Cover, TWO! White stays in this but Pac stalks him to the apron. But White HOTSHOTS Pac down! Pac flounders, and it’s time for another to enter! It’s MISTICO! CMLL’s greatest champion is here, and he runs right in to GAMANGIRI White! Springboard but White gets under! Mistico keeps moving, and he RANAS White! Pac kicks Mistico, whips, but Mistico ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and handsprings! Pac avoids all that, but Mistico blocks a chop to knuckle lock, CHPO, and FLYING ARM-DRAG!
Pac gets up, Mistico SUPERKICKS him down! White returns, Mistico DROPKICKS him back out! Pac and White go outside, they brawl, so Mistico goes up and up and SUPER CROSSBODIES! Direct hit on both men and the fans are thunderous as AEW goes picture in picture.
Mistico keeps the fans fired up and he drags White up to put him in. Mistico storms up after White but White sends him into buckles! White then goes after the mask! The ref reprimands but that’s all he can do. White stomps Mistico, soaks up heat, and he goes out to send Pac into steel steps and then barriers! White goes back in for Mistico to wrench and kick. White kicks and kicks and throws Mistico by his mask! Pac gets in to get White by his hair! Pac smacks White off buckles, then TOSSES him out! Pac goes out after White but White RAMS him into barriers! They both sputter, White gest in the ring but Mistico is right on him!
Mistico SOBATS! Front kicks! And then SUPERKICKS! White falls over, Mistico covers, TWO! Mistico stays cool, fires the fans up, but White CLAWS at his face! The ref reprimands, White goes after the mask again! White throws down elbows but then Pac returns. Pac drags White from Mistico, bumps him off buckles, then wrenches to whip corner to corner, and hard! White falls over in a heap, Pac storms over to him, but White flops out of the ring. Pac goes out and stomps White down, and the fans rally up. Pac looms over White, stands on his head, and Dynamite returns to single picture.
It’s time for the fourth man, and it’s… WILL OSPREAY!? The International Champion wants to win another Casino Gauntlet and go for the whole enchilada?! Ospreay runs up, fires off on Mistico, then hits a PIP PIP CHEERIO! White sneaks up to SLEEPER, but Ospreay snapmares free! White and Ospreay stand off and the fans are thunderous! White offers a handshake, but Ospreay leaves him hanging! Ospreay fires off forearms and a whip! White slides out, but Pac is there to put him back in! Ospreay CHOPS White! Ospreay whips, White reverses, but Ospreay handsprings to NEURALIZER KICK!
White bails out, Pac hurries in, he O’Conner Rolls with bridge! TWO!! Ospreay escapes and tells Pac he’s a cheeky bastard! The Englishmen have it out with words, but Mistico springboards to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! Down go Ospreay and Pac, then Mistico SUPERKICKS Pac! Mistico ducks ‘n ‘dodges Ospreay to tilt-o-whirl to go around and around and around, into LA MYSTICA! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! But the fifth man is already being sent out, and it’s SHOTA UMINO! The Roughneck of NJPW is here and the fans fire up as he stomps Mistico! The fans fire up for “SHOOTER! SHOOTER!” but Mistico CHOPS him!
Shota just scowls as he DECKS Mistico! Then Shota sends Mistico into White! Those two fall out of the ring, Shota aims at Ospreay! Shota runs up to UPPERCUT Ospreay! And then FISHERMAN- NO, Ospreay fights free! Ospreay wrenches, Shota UPPERCUTS! Shota runs, into the TIGER WALL KICK! But Shota ducks the enzigiri! Ospreay slides under Shota, Shota elbows free of the waistlock! Shota ducks the Hook Kick, then fires a forearm! ROLLING- ROUNDHOUSE! Ospreay whips Shota, Shota reverses and DROPKICKS Ospreay! The fans are thunderous for Shota as he then slingshots to APRON DDT Ospreay!!
Shota hurries to get Ospreay in, TORNADO DDT! Cover, White breaks it! White CHOPS Shota, sits him up, CHOPS again, repeat! White then goes to Ospreay to sit him up and CHOP! Ospreay flounders, White goes back to Shota for another CHOP! But now we get the sixth man, CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI! The Swiss Superman is already hard to face 1v1 and fresh, and now he’s got his pick of the litter! White shoves Shota at him but Claudio just BOOTS Shota down! White runs away but Claudio pursues! They go around the ring, Claudio UPPERCUTS Pac for good measure! Then White drags Mistico out of the ring to block Claudio’s path!
Claudio DOUBLE STOMPS Mistico, then continues after White! White slides in the ring, slides under Ospreay, and Claudio LARIATS Ospreay! Shota rolls Claudio up, TWO! Shota knees low, runs, but Claudio POP-UP UPPERCUTS! Cover, White breaks it! White CLUBS away on Claudio, stomps him, then says guns up! Ospreay and Mistico brawl on the outside, White goes to Claudio. But Claudio SPINEBUSTERS, and he has the legs! The fans are thunderous for the SWING~! White goes around and around and around, the fans count all the way to TEN while Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Claudio THROWS White away, but Mistico RAMS into Claudio! Mistico slingshots to sunset flip, but Claudio rolls through to get legs! Claudio shrugs, and he SWINGS Mistico! Mistico goes around and around for TEN, but then Ospreay gets in! Claudio trips Ospreay, Ospreay kicks and flails, but the SWING still starts up! Claudio goes around and around with Ospreay for TEN, and now Claudio is feeling it. Shota CLUBS away on Claudio, then eggs him on! Claudio frowns, and UPPERCUTS Shota! Shota UPPERCUTS back! They UPPERCUT back and forth, then Shota gets the edge! Shota winds up to UPPERCUT!
Shota underhooks, but Claudio trips him up! And yes, he SWINGS Shota! Another TEN, and now Claudio is dizzy. Pac is there to ROCK him! Pac springboards in, but Claudio catches him! AND SWINGS HIM!! Claudio reaches TEN, drops Pac, and he needs the ref to steady him. The ref walks over, but Claudio trips him! Is Claudio really gonna do it!? No, Claudio realizes that wouldn’t be nice, so he spares the ref from a swing. Claudio helps the ref to his feet and Dynamite returns to single picture. And just in time for lucky number seven! It’s… LIO RUSH! The Bad Child makes his return to AEW as an NJPW talent, but will he again be the Man of the Hour?
Lio and Claudio circle, then Lio runs up! Claudio blocks, he flips Lio but Lio lands on his feet! Lio dodges, redirects, redirects again, duck sunder, goes Matrix, then kicks, ENZIGIRIS and fires up! The fans are with Lio as he baits Claudio and DUMPS him out! HANDSPRING KICK knocks Claudio down! Shota dragon sleepers Lio, but Lio slips out of the suplex! Roll-up, kip up, wind up, BASEMENT ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up and Lio runs, but Shota ROCKS him! Shota runs, but Lio gets moving again! Shota shows speed, too, they both duck ‘n’ dodge, then they DOUBLE LARIAT! But they both roar! Claudio DOUBLE LARIATS them both!!
The fans are thunderous and Claudio says it’s time! But wow, the eighth is already here and… it’s ORANGE CASSIDY? Freshly Squeezed must’ve planned on being in this match all along, and he’s still going to even with the head wound from Trent! Cassidy storms down and puts on his elbow pad. Claudio runs up but Cassidy gets around, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then tilt-o-whirls to DD- NO! Claudio blocks the DDT to suplex! But Claudio fires knees! Claudio won’t let Cassidy go, though, and he powers back up! Into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Cassidy runs and tilt-o-whirls again, DDT! Cassidy kips up but has to steady himself after.
Ospreay aims and takes off the elbow pad! Cassidy turns around first, though. He takes HIS elbow pad off! Both men are primed and ready, but then White sneaks in! White shoves Cassidy at Ospreay but Ospreay dodges, and Ospreay runs up on White! White gets around, SNAP SLEEPER SUPLEX! URENAGE for Orange! Cover on Orange, TWO!! White is frustrated but he says this is HIS time! White drags Cassidy up, but Cassidy fires off hands! And now we get a ninth man! It’s CMLL’s HECHICERO! The Mad Scientist of Lucha is here and ready to use that in-ring alchemy! Hechicero gets in, blocks White’s lariat to whip!
Hechi runs up to JUMP KNEE White in the corner! Claudio is here, Hechi dodges and tilt-o-whirls for the LEG DROP! Ospreay runs up, Hechi wheelbarrows him into a REVERSE MONKEY FLIP, which puts Ospreay in position for the ARMBAR!! Cassidy grabs at Hechi but Hechi cradles! TWO!! Cassidy RAMS Hechi, runs, but Hechi CLOBBERS Cassidy at ropes, and has a SLEEPER! Ospreay SUPERKICKS Cassidy, Hechi ROCKS Ospreay! Hechi goes up to FLYING LARIAT! The fans are thunderous, but Mistico springboards to FLYING RANA! Mistico builds speed, Lio is in his way! Mistico takes a swing, Lio dodges and he DIVES onto Hechicero!
Shota SHOTGUNS Lio! Mistico tilt-o-whirls Claudio for a DEJA VU RANA! The fans are thunderous as Mistico then goes up and up and FLYING RANAS Claudio on the floor! Shota aims at Cassidy in the ring, POP-UP KNEE! Then underhooks, but Cassidy wrenches out! Cassidy dodges to ORANGE PUNCH!! “This is Awesome!” as Pac slips in. Pac tries to roll Cassidy but Cassidy steps over to sit down! TWO!! Pac escapes, and he SUPERKICKS Cassidy! Pac runs, White shoves Cassidy away so he can clinch Pac! BLADE- NO, Pac slips free to waistlock! White switches with Pac, back suplexes, but Pac lands out! Pac BOOTS White!
Pac has White down, but JUICE ROBINSON runs out here! He’s trying to help White like he did at Double or Nothing! Juice SHOVES Pac down, then Juice runs away. But Cassidy is aimed at White! ORANGE- SNAP SLEEPER SUPLEX!! White hurries to clinch Cassidy, but HIDDEN BLADE hits first!! Ospreay underhooks Cassidy, lifts, STORM- RANA!!! Cassidy covers, TWO?!?! Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER!!! Cover, OSPREAY WINS!!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW World Championship)
The Aerial Assassin is undefeated in Casino Gauntlets, and now he has himself another title match on the horizon! While Ospreay and Mistico talk about running this back for themselves, Swerve makes his way out! The AEW World Champion stares down the AEW International Champion, then circles him in the ring. Ospreay wants to be the #TwoBeltBruv but he might be forgetting Kyle O’Reilly is coming for him this Saturday. Will Ospreay survive a Collision to then go on to the Forbidden Door? Or will the #BillyGoat not be welcomed in Swerve’s House?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite here to follow Double or Nothing. For one, Casino Gauntlet is proving to be a great stipulation, AEW knows what they’re doing with it since it’s about wild action from half a dozen or more guys. However, I did not think they’d make it Ospreay as the winner again, considering he’s International Champion. As exciting as Ospreay VS Swerve for the top title obviously is, is this going to be belt for belt? Just Swerve’s belt? Is Ospreay going to lose his belt before challenging just so he won’t have a chance to be double champion? As great as Ospreay is, maybe someone else should’ve won tonight.
Garcia also gave a good promo to call out Ospreay for the International Championship. Ospreay probably beats Kyle this Saturday, Garcia probably wins a match of his own, and surely Garcia is named a contender. Garcia could even force Ospreay into a double header, Ospreay defending the International title to open Forbidden Door then challenging Swerve for the world title in the main event. That could be a way around crowning a double champion, but feels like a disservice to Swerve if he beats a guy who already wore himself out in another match. And Rush calling out MJF, there goes the momentum I thought Rush was gonna build this time around…
Meanwhile, I did like that Cassidy toughed it out and still competed tonight. I figured he would say no to Callis, and that Trent would say yes, because that is what made sense all along. Stokely & Kris made for a good set-up so that Trent could get the drop on Cassidy, and Heel Trent in Heel Callis Family will be some good stuff. Cassidy has a lot of that “What’s next?” now that he has no one. Stokely & Kris also had a very good promo to talk trash on Willow and the entire AEW roster, Kris probably bides her time winning squash matches as a Heel until Willow returns and they can fight at Forbidden Door or All In, some big PPV stage.
Mercedes Mone had a good promo to give Willow her props, and having her celebration turn into a fight that then gave us a title match was some good stuff. Of course Mone won, this got her first defense in the books. Vaquer showing up to silently call her out was great, too, Vaquer VS Mone is also a match that dates back to the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship tournament so that’ll be really fun. Very good promo from Moxley, very good match with Rocky, but of course Moxley won. Moxley’s not gonna go extra title matches, he’s just gonna be focused right on Evil and Dominion. Moxley might even head back to Japan for some final build up to that match with just 10 days left.
“TV Time with Chris Jericho” was perfectly done as a purposefully corny and dumb talk show that also felt a little like a kids show with that cardboard tree and fake grass carpet. And the name works as a name pun because now Jericho, Bill and even Bryan Keith will get TV time. Hook listening to Joe now is surprising, but something had to give, and this does build towards the Six Man Tag I was thinking about after Double or Nothing. Joe, Hook & Shibata VS Jericho, Bill & Keith, Keith taking the loss and either Hook gets one last 1v1 for the FTW title or Joe gets his shot and beats Jericho.
Great stuff from The Elite, such as Jack Perry still driving that black school bus and Okada pretending to be emotional getting a brand new Lamborghini. I almost thought there was gonna be some kind of surprise where the driver of the Lambo was Darby and he’d go after Okada. Instead, very clever stuff where The Bucks wanted to gift Jack with the TNT Championship so that they could be the Golden Elite. And therefore, great counter by having Christopher Daniels be a substitute EVP and announcing the qualifier matches. Jack will surely qualify, though, even if he can’t get help from The Elite, but I’d love if someone like Darby or Bryan Danielson get in on the ladder match. That way, if they aren’t gonna win the title, they can at least keep Jack from winning it.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Cole is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Panama City Playboy, and he brings his AEW TNT Championship to the ring. The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Now, the reason he has a giant smile is because this is the 100th episode of Collision! The strides that Collision has made in such a short time is impressive. Cole wants to thank the fans. AEW has the best wrestlers on the planet delivering some of the best matches we’ve ever seen, and dammit, these are the best fans he has ever been in front of!
“AEW is built on the future, and I’m excited about the future. Because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere. I am proud of where Collision has been, and I’m proud of where it is going. I am proud to represent TNT as your TNT Champion. I am proud about our future. In 2025 and beyond, I will hold onto this championship, because dammit, I’m Adam Cole, Baybay. And that is undisputed.” The fans cheer, but here comes Kyle Fletcher! The fans are torn as the Protostar has a mic to say, “Pardon the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody, and especially you, on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision, that’s huge!
“And you’ve had a fantastic run as the Face of TNT. But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to ME.” The fans are torn on that, too, but Kyle says Cole loves to do story time. How about story time with the Protostar? Now, does Cole remember All In 2023? Of course he does! He main-evented the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, he faced a young ‘n’ hungry Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. And while that was the greatest night of Cole’s life, that was the WORST night of Kyle’s!
Cole took away the biggest accomplishment of Kyle’s life, purely to stroke his own ego. But now, Kyle stands here a totally different man. Kyle KILLED that version of Kyle to stand here the most perfect pro-wrestler in the world! Again, the fans are torn, but Kyle says he wants nothing more than to make Cole feel exactly how he did two years ago. So at All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, Kyle wants his shot at HIS TNT Champions! The fans like where this is going! Kyle says everyone int he world knows no one is more deserving of that shot! But wait! Daniel Garcia makes his way out here! The fans cheer as Daniel Garcia joins Kyle on stage.
Garcia asks, “What’s good, Ontario?” And he hears all this talk about the past of Collision, the future of Collision, the future of AEW, the TNT title, but when you talk about those things, you better bring up one name: Daniel Garcia. Now, Fletcher, their match is the main event. Garcia isn’t looking past Kyle, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little distracted. Because when Garcia looks in the ring, he sees the man who beat him for the TNT Championship and that belt over his shoulder. Garcia can only think one thing to himself: “I need that.” Cole says he has all the respect for Garcia, and any time, any place that Garcia wants his shot, he’s got it.
But do not forget, Cole beat him before and he’ll beat him again. As for Kyle, the person living in Lala Land is just lying to himself. Last time, Cole had Kyle beat, and the Don Callis Family had to get involved because they knew it, and Kyle knows it. Cole had his number then and has his number now. So here’s a great idea: Let’s just go All In! Kyle wants his shot at the TNT title, Garcia wants his shot at the TNT title, and Cole is a fighting champion. At All In, he’ll face them both! Kyle says no no no, that’s not gonna happen. Kyle was screwed out of the title once, he won’t do it again. Kyle beat Garcia when he was TNT Champion, and he never got his shot!
Kyle says in a perfect and just world, HE would be here as TNT Champion! Garcia says oh c’mon, Kyle thinks he deserves to be a champion just cuz he beat Garcia? Congrats, who hasn’t beat Garcia? Garcia has been losing for his entire career, for his entire life, but every time he loses, he gets back up. The fans applaud that! Garcia says every time he fails, he gets back up! So Cole, Kyle, he isn’t asking for his shot because he “deserves” one, he wants to earn it. So here’s another idea: Garcia and Kyle are already in a big main event match, but let’s put it all on the line! Garcia VS Kyle, winner goes on to have the biggest match of their lives against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship!
The fans cheer, Kyle is annoyed, but Cole says if that’s how they wanna play it, that’s how they’ll do it. May the best man win. Garcia raised the stakes of tonight’s main event, but will he be ready to go All In? Or will the Aussie Arrow be the one flying to Texas?
Toni Storm speaks.
“This is a message for that the little girl watching from home. The one who begged her parents to buy All In so that she could sit in front of the television to watch the greatest women’s match of all time. It won’t be. It will be a lesson, and the lesson is this: Someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, and when they can’t hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love, you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off. Some things in life are not worth fighting for. But if you’re lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist.
“What you’re about to witness will change you in foul ways. Probably our mother, too. It won’t be nice, it won’t be pretty, but you will remember it forever. Hopefully, it will discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself, because there are only two kinds of people in this world: Ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Good night, darling. See you next week.”
Triple Threat: Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
Montel Vontavious Porter has practically begged for teams to step up to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and he got what he wanted! #JetSpeed wants their shot, but so does The Patriarchy! This won’t automatically make a title match, but it could go a long way to putting one together. Will The Jet be 2Fly2Stop? Will The Prodigy make Christian Cage proud? Or will neither of them measure up to the Standard of Excellence?
The bell rings and Knight is right after Shelton! Nick bails out to let them brawl, and Shelton CLUBS Knight, then KNEE him down! Nick returns to CLUB Shelton, but that just makes Shelton mad! Nick runs away with a smug grin on his face, but Knight DROPKICKS Shelton! Shelton tumbles out, but he drags Knight out to join him! Shelton LARIATS Knight, then brings him around the way. Shelton RAMS Knight into the apron, then THROWS him into the barrier! And repeat! The fans fire up while Knight slumps against barriers, and Shelton puts him in the ring. But Nick snags the cover, TWO! Shelton storms in but Nick backs off.
Shelton swings, Nick dodges, and Nick handsprings, only for Shelton to catch him! And THROW him away! The fans fire up while Shelton paces. Nick and Knight go to a corner, the fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” Shelton runs up, but Knight snatches him to a cradle, TWO! Shelton is up but Nick BOOTS him! Knight & Nick DOUBLE DROPKICK, and Shelton tumbles out! The fans rally, Nick wants a high-ten, but Knight says fine. Knight then builds speed, only for Nick to UPPERCUT! The fans boo and Nick grins. MVP tells Shelton to get serious with these kids. Nick kicks Knight, puts him in a corner, then RAMS into those bad ribs.
The fans rally but Nick RAMS Knight again. And again! Nick mocks the applause from the fans while Collision goes picture in picture.
Nick paces, drags Knight up, and snapmares him for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but Shelton is back! Shelton sneaks up behind Nick, Nick backs up into him and realizes what’s going on. Shelton hits a BIG back suplex! Nick flounders away, Shelton stalks Knight, and Shelton LARIATS Knight! Then whisp him hard into the corner! Knight slumps, Shelton whips him OUT of the ring, then goes out after Nick. Shelton drags Nick up to scoop and SLAM him on the floor! Nick writhes, Shelton paces, and MVP tells him not to play with his food. Shelton scoops Nick to SLAM him again! Shelton leaves Nick behind to go after Knight.
Knight CHOPS! And CHOPS! Shelton CHOPS in return! Knight staggers away to the corner, but Shelton puts him in the ring. Shelton then goes back to Nick, wraps on a SLEEPER, but Nick JAWBREAKERS free! Nick hurries into the ring, brings Knight up, and snapmares for a chinlock. Knight endures as Nick squeezes tight, and Collision 100 returns to single picture. Bailey coaches Knight, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna coach Nick, and Knight rises up. Knight fires body shots, the fans rally, but Nick cravats for a neck wrench. Knight fires more shots, fires forearms, and he ROCKS Nick! Knight runs, Shelton is back, FLAPJACK!
The fans fire up as Shelton also scops Nick, tilt-o-whirl POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Nick toughs it out but MVP says this child shouldn’t even be in the ring with Shelton. Shelton hauls Nick up, Nick sunset flips, TWO! Shelton high stacks, Knight springboards to FLYING SUNSET FLIP! Knight has the cover on Shelton, TWO as Nick ghost pins Knight! TWO!! Knight escapes, Shelton runs up, but Knight & Nick dodge! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS take Shelton down! The fans fire up and MVP is frustrated. Nick and Knight run, dodge, and DOUBLE CROSSBODY! The fans fire up as all three men are down!
Nick and Knight rise, Nick fires a forearm first! Knight fires back! Nick hits Knight again, but Knight fires back! Nick HEADBUTTS, but Knight fires another forearm! Nick fires a flurry of forearms, then ROLLING- SUPERKICK from Knight! Nick ends up in a corner, the fans fire up with Knight, and Knight whips Nick at Shelton! Shelton picks Nick up for a POWERBOMB onto Knight! The fans fire up with Shelton now, and he waits on Nick. Nick rises, Shelton reels him in, GERMAN SUPLEX! Nick flounders away, Shelton watches Knight! GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up as Shelton GERMAN SUPLEXES Nick again!

Oh, wait, speaking of, MJF & MVP interrupt via the tron. MJF asks if MVP saw that amazing finish. This is so exciting! Hologram, go teleport your ass back to the hotel, MJF doesn’t care about you. MJF is here to talk to Mistico and Briscoe, aka Jabroni y El Jabroni. MVP likes that, that’s clever. MJF says he knows Spanish. But MVP says we don’t “talky talk,” that is for poor, uneducated chicken farmers. MVP says men like him and MJF converse. They speak the language of violence.
So let’s converse right now. MJF says Briscoe wants to talk to him one-on-one, but MJF isn’t so sure. Nowadays, he rolls with his clique. When you’re in the Syndicate, you ride together, you die together, they hurt people. But MJF will still consider it. But as for Mistico, MJF knows he’s all excited to be in the gauntlet. IS HE? Because last time MJF checked, he’s gonna beat Briscoe within an inch of his life and pin him before anybody gets a chance to make an entrance. So now, they can go back to do what poor people do. MJF doesn’t know what that is, maybe count food stamps or something. MVP, talk us out.
MVP says he appreciates all the enthusiasm, but they’re way out of their league. MVP tells Mistico, in Spanish, that he is the biggest idiot in Mexico! MJF says it ain’t personal, it’s just business. MJF & MVP head out, but will Briscoe, Mistico, and just about everyone else in the gauntlet line-up make sure MJF does not win it?
BREAKING NEWS for All In!

That is a command. Oh, and, uh… AHA~!
Ricochet & The Gates leave, will the Vanilla Babyface & Big Shotty even be able to stand, let alone earn Ricochet’s respect?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite 300.
Renee Paquette found Anthony Bowens after the Men’s Casino Gauntlet #2 spot Fatal 4, and asked him how he felt after his defeat. He talked about his strategy going into the match, so- Bowens stops her there. There’s no room for negativity as the Pride of Pro-Wrestling. Billy Gunn then walks in, and he helps Bowens stand up. Bowens thanks Billy for the help now. Sorry, Billy thought the strategy was for him to not be ringside. Billy says he doesn’t know what Bowens is doing with all this. Bowens asks since when was that part of the strategy. He never said he didn’t want Billy out there. Well, that’s what Billy heard him say. He was back here watching the whole time.
Maybe Bowens doesn’t get this, but just because he’s a singles guy now doesn’t mean he’ll be world champion overnight. There will be bumps in the road, but they need to figure this out together. They can make it all work out. Bowens says Billy has been promising that for weeks but results need to happen now. All In is next week, Bowens has to win the gauntlet! He lost the chance at being #2 so now what? Trust Billy. Bowens & Billy scissor, but can Daddy Ass help the 5 Tool Player find the path to the top?

Or can Cowboy, Assassin, Wrestler and Powerhouse bring down the house before going to Globe Life Field? But that’s not all as the odd men out, Samoa Joe and Wheeler Yuta, will go 1v1! Will the Opps or the Death Riders have the advantage going into a World Trios Championship match?
Plus, after the big match we just saw, Megan Bayne, Tay Melo, Queen Aminata and Thekla will all be in a Fatal 4 Way! The winner will be the Women’s Casino Gauntlet #2 entrant, who takes their destiny into their own hands?
Alex Windsor speaks.
“For eight long years, I wrestled on the UK independent scene, and when I was finally hitting my stride, I had my leg taken out from under me and I tore my ACL. There was a point where I didn’t think I’d ever be able to wrestle again. But there was just something that would not let me quit, because I knew the only thing that could make me feel human again, the only thing that could bring me back from the edge, was being inside a wrestling ring. And although I am All Elite now, the mission doesn’t stop until there is gold around my waist. I want to prove to my son what his mum has had to endure to become one of the best in the world.
“I am Iron Will, I am Alex Windsor!” Will Alex prove she is unbreakable when she finally gets back in that AEW ring?
AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Daniel Garcia VS Kyle Fletcher!
Adam Cole joins commentary for this one, but so has Don Callis, because this one is all about who Cole faces at All In. The Red Death held the title previously, but he admittedly did lose to the Protostar during the Continental Classic. Will Kyle correct the oversight of not getting a title match? Or will the Dragonslayer go from one redemption to another?
The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. They tie up, Kyle puts Garcia in a corner, the ref counts, and Callis praises Kyle’s physical strength. Kyle backs off with a roll, then he puts up his dukes to mock Garcia’s dance. Garcia says that’s not even close, but he and Kyle reset. They tie up, Kyle powers Garcia to another corner, but Garcia turns things around. The ref counts, Garcia lets off with a roll, and he shows Kyle how it’s done! The fans cheer, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks for the takeover, fights off a headscissor, but Garcia cravats from below. Garcia moves around, rises up, and the fans rally.
Garcia powers up and out, but Kyle runs him over! Things keep moving, Kyle runs Garcia over again! Kyle drops onto Garcia for a headlock, but Garcia fights his way up again. Garcia powers up and out, Kyle RAMS Garcia, but Garcia ducks ‘n’ dodges. Garcia CLOBBERS Kyle on the return and the fans fire up! Garcia has Kyle in the corner, climbs up, and he flips Callis off! The fans cheer and Garcia rains down fists! The fans count, but Kyle stops Garcia at 6 to BOOT him down! The fans still cheer that, and Kyle grins while Cole admits Kyle has power and speed. Kyle scoops to SLAM Garcia, and Garcia goes to the corner.
Kyle aims at the corner, runs in, but Garcia ducks! The gamangiri crashes ‘n’ burns and Kyle falls to the apron! Garcia runs to DROPKICK Kyle, then he does his dance with some extra stank! Garcia goes out after Kyle, runs up, but Kyle BOOTS him again! The fans are torn but Callis hugs it out with his guy. The fans definitely boo that, and Cole stares down with Kyle. Garcia BOOTS Kyle, Cole fist bumps with him, and Callis claims there’s a bias. But Kyle BOOTS right back! Then scoops to LAWN DART Garcia into barriers! Garcia falls in a heap and Kyle mockingly says check on him. Kyle hangs out with his fans at ringside while the others boo.
Kyle taunts the fans booing him, and we see Garcia is busted open! Kyle rains down fists, then shows off the bloody forehead. APRON BACK SUPLEX! Kyle grins while Garcia has a glazed look in his eyes, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle shoves Garcia into the ring, paces around him, and watches as Garcia sputters and sits up. The crimson mask is growing and Kyle talks trash. Kyle drags Garcia up to scoop and SLAM! Garcia flounders to ropes while Kyle soaks up cheers ‘n’ jeers. Kyle paces, then he storms over to Garcia for a JUMP STOMP! The ref reprimands but Garcia flounders away to the other side. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Garcia again! Kyle drags Garcia from the ropes, paces around him again, then stands him up. Garcia fires a flurry of forearms! Garcia backs Kyle down, but Kyle DECKS Garcia! Garcia shows off the blood on his wrist tape while he paces around.
Kyle stands on the corner, and he licks the blood! The fans surely tell Kyle he’s sick, but Collision goes to break.
Collision 100 returns once again and Garcia rains down fists in the corner! He goes to nine, then winds up for TEN! The fans fire up while Kyle flounders. Garcia runs up, Kyle puts him on the apron and GAMANGIRIS! Garcia wobbles, but he reels Kyle in for a GUILLOTINE in the ropes! Callis protests, the ref counts, but Kyle goes to the apron! Kyle powers up but Garcia fights free! Garcia ducks a lariat to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Cole and Callis are both worried while the fans all fire up! Garcia stumbles back, Kyle goes the other direction, Garcia runs up and DROPKICKS Kyle into barriers!
The fans fire up as Garcia goes to the other side, runs back in, DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Garcia keeps moving, DROPKICK! Cole says Garcia is cooking here! Garcia puts Kyle on the apron, then slides into the ring. Garcia climbs up the corner, drags Kyle up to the top rope, and the fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Roll through, cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Callis is relieved. A standing count begins, Kyle and Garcia stir, and Garcia grabs the legs. Kyle BOOTS Garcia away, Garcia rebounds, but into Kyle’s cradle! Then deadlift, but Garcia slips free! Garcia waistlocks, they go to ropes, Kyle bucks the O’Conner! SUPERKICK!
Kyle reels Garcia in, lifts, LAST RIDE!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle is furious but then he rains down elbows! The ref wants Garcia to get his guard up but Kyle lets off. Garcia sputters, is his nose broken now? The fans rally, Callis mockingly says they should call this. Kyle aims from the far corner, runs in, but Garcia catches him for a leg scissor! Then he has the legs! DRAGONTAMER!! The fans are thunderous as Kyle endures! Garcia sits deep on the hold, but Kyle powers up! Garcia drags Kyle away for the DEEPER hold! Kyle reaches back to headlock Garcia, but Garcia lets the legs go so he can roll back! Garcia facelocks, deadlifts, and then suplexes Kyle and himself out of the ring!!
The fans fire up while both men hit the floor! Callis and Cole are both worried again, but both men are still stirring. The ring count climbs, the fans rally, and Callis tells Garcia to stay down. Callis fans Kyle off, pats him on the shoulder, but we pass 5 of 10. Garcia is up first and he has Kyle, only for Kyle to get around! HALF ‘N’ HALF to the floor! Kyle grimaces as he drags himself up to his feet. Garcia sputters, twitches, but Kyle drags him up. Callis says get the ambulance. Kyle grins as he looks at Cole, and he reels Garcia in for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Garcia is down in a heap and Cole stands up in anger.
The fans are torn as Kyle leaves Garcia behind. The count starts again, Cole coaches Garcia, but can Garcia even hear him right now? The count is 5 of 10, and Garcia grabs the apron skirt! Garcia rises, but we’re at 8! Garcia leaps in at 9.99! But the GAMANGIRI hits in the corner!! And then Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Championship)
Daniel Garcia fought his heart out, but his body could not withstand the viciousness of Kyle Fletcher. And now, the Aussie Arrow is aimed squarely at Adam Cole. Will the Protostar make himself the Face of TNT? Or will this title stay undisputed?
My Thoughts:
A great 100th episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded on Wednesday. FTR VS Outrunners was an awesome match, and naturally FTR was winning, but it was a nice touch for Stokely to be involved right at the end so that The Outrunners’ power level isn’t hurt by the loss. The tag title story is a bit disconnected, though, as apparently Nick Wayne “interrupted” a Hurt Syndicate interview. It was a YouTube exclusive, not part of Dynamite, so Nick Wayne jumping into what they framed as Shelton VS Knight was weird. And even then, Knight won the Triple Threat by pinning Shelton, shouldn’t it just be JetSpeed VS Lashley & Shelton? And I’m pretty sure the only reason for the Triple Threat is so that Hurt Syndicate can lose the belts without taking the finish.
Great Six Man Tag from Briscoe, Hologram & Mistico VS Don Callis Family, and great win for the Faces. Good promo from MJF and MVP, but not really needed. They just wanted to step on Briscoe’s celebration before having the “talky talk” moment next week. Awesome return for Scorpio Sky after roughly 600 days of being away, and he of course got a win over Max Caster. The main thing from this is that Sky is also now leading a new faction with Christopher Daniels. Hopefully Top Flight gets some direction with this, they’ve been in a holding pattern for so long. And that’s not even the injuries, they’ve both been back for a good amount of time and they’ve only been contenders to the tag titles, not winners.
Very good promo from Claudio to call out The Opps, and I’m starting to really feel like Hook joins Death Riders as payback on Samoa Joe for replacing him so easily. Willow got a good win but it was mostly so we could have that moment of Kris and Yuta where Kris is still resistant to the idea of joining Death Riders. Great 8 Woman Tag, and Athena being scared of getting in the ring with Rosa was some good stuff. Another strong win for the Heels, and I feel like Megan is going to have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet. But with Alex Windsor having another good promo, I feel like she could be a favorite to win. Then Alex faces the winner of Toni VS Mone at Forbidden Door. Good promo from Toni Storm, but it didn’t really add that much to the build.
And finally, something for the TNT Championship. Great promo to open the night, and it naturally raised the stakes on the main event. Garcia VS Fletcher was awesome, and that moment near the end with them both down on the outside really teased a double count out to make a Triple Threat for All In. But in the end, Kyle overwhelms Garcia and is the standalone #1 contender. Cole VS Fletcher is going to be awesome, and probably could go either way. But if the Don Callis Family is going to be as big as it is, it also needs to win some gold. There’s potential for them to really clean up next weekend with Konosuke Takeshita going for the ROH World Championship, Okada VS Omega for the “unified” championship, and now Fletcher going for the TNT title.
My Score: 9/10

Hangman Page is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Cowboy as he storms right out to the ring. Hangman grabs a mic, and he says he is not going to waste our time because he has said plenty how much the AEW World Championship match means to him. He has said plenty on how much AEW and that title mean to him, and he has said he would ride through death itself for this! The fans cheer, and hangman says he made a promise that at All In, he would win THE AEW World Championship! That he would free it from the briefcase, hold it over his head for the world to see, and it is a vow he will keep with his life!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman continues with, “You can tie me up and you can bloody me, but it will not be enough. And like last week, you can wrap a chain around my neck and hang me from the sky! But you would have to kill me before I let this chance pass me by!” If you think he’ll let The Elite or the Death Riders cost them, then you’re the biggest dumbass in the world! Because at All In, like all of Jon Moxley’s matches, Hangman knows they are coming, so he will welcome them. “Give me The Elite! Give me ALL of the Death Riders! Jon Moxley, you give me everything or you give me death, and make this a TEXAS DEATH MATCH!!”
Well, as if on cue, Jon Moxley makes his way out from the bowels of the arena, Marina Shafir right behind him. The fans boo as these two make their way to ringside, and Hangman keeps his eyes locked on The Maniac. Moxley steps up to the apron, mic in hand, and he says, “So… At All In, you wanna put all your chips on the table? Your life, your health, your career, all on the line, all on the table, with the AEW World Championship, in a Texas Death Match.” The fans cheer that! But Moxley says, “No.” The fans boo, but Moxley says Hangman doesn’t want that. He might think he wants that, but he doesn’t.
To break it down, on July 12th, Hangman is going to lose. The fans chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at Moxley but he ignores it. At All In, Hangman is not going to win, because he doesn’t want to win. No, Hangman is happy where he is because it is safe and comfortable. Hangman doesn’t wanna wake up on Sunday morning with the AEW World Championship and everything that comes with it. Does Hangman know why he won the Owen Hart Cup? Because it wasn’t the highest peak. It wasn’t really the top of the mountain. It was nice, but THE top, no, that’s not for Hangman, that’s too much pressure, that’s for someone else.
Fans tell Moxley to STFU, but Moxley says he lives in pressure. Moxley knows there are those who say they’re the best in the world, and that’s “basic b*tch sh*t,” Moxley is much more than that. Moxley is much more than the AEW World Champion, and he’ll show the entire world that on July 12th. HE will show the world exactly who he is, and exactly what a world champion looks like. Hangman doesn’t have inside him what it takes to take this title from Moxley, and he certainly doesn’t have what it takes to win a Texas Death Match with Moxley. Hangman is not willing to go as far as he needs to go, it is not something he would survive, it is not something he’d walk away from.
Hangman SLAPS Moxley! Moxley is pissed and he TACKLES Hangman! The fans fire up as the two scrap, and Hangman gets the edge! AND he takes something out of his pocket! Is that a fork!? Wheeler Yuta appears outta nowhere, but then Hangman JAMS him with the fork! Marina SLAPS Hangman! The fans tell Hangman to fork her, but then she SLAPS him again! Hangman seethes, she SLAPS him again! And again and again and again! Hangman just stares her down! Hangman steps forward, but then Yuta anchors Hangman! Claudio Castagnoli TACKLES Hangman! The fans boo as the Death Riders mug Hangman!
Yuta & Claudio stomp away on Hangman, CHOKE him in the corner, then smother him with his own jacket! Moxley is in retreat and Marina checks on him. Claudio drags Hangman up and RIPS away his shirt! Gotch lift, NEUTRALIZER! The fans boo as Moxley needed the Decoder and the Swiss Cyborg to handle Hangman for him. Will this be exactly what happens in ten days at All In: Texas? Hangman grabs the mic to shout, “HOLD ON! HOLD ON! Is that the best you’ve got?! IS THAT THE BEST YOU’VE GOT?! Send your little neutered lap dog, Claudio, after me, cuz B*TCH, I’m still standing!”
The fans fire up and Claudio says okay, still standing, huh? Claudio grabs an open chair, takes it with him to ringside, but SAMOA JOE is here! Claudio says bet! Claudio gets up on the railing, Yuta is even backing him, but then Claudio spots Shibata and Hobbs walking up from the other side! The Opps continue to have Hangman’s back, but speaking of back, MARINA sneaks in behind Hangman! But she blocks the briefcase attack! The fans fire up and Hangman shouts, “Mox, have I got something of yours? HUH?! Be the champion you say you are! Be the champion you say you are and give me Texas Death! GIVE ME TEXAS DEATH!!”
Moxley is furious that the sneak attack failed so he storms back up to ringside. Moxley says fine, if Hangman wants it, he’s got it! ALL IN: TEXAS DEATH!! The fans are all fired up and Hangman grins. Hangman then walks up to Marina and hands her the briefcase. The fans cheer for #CowboyS*it, but then Hangman remembers one thing! Mox, you said that Hangman didn’t have what it takes for Texas Death, but Mox knows that’s a lie. But in case Mox needs to see that Hangman will do anything it takes… What?! BUCKSHOT ON MARINA!! No one can believe it, and Moxley is even angrier than before! But will Hangman do a lot worse once the bell rings?
Toni Storm is with Rachel Brosnahan.
The AEW Women’s World Champion is with the new Lois Lane in the new Superman film, and Rachel says she used to wrestle in high school. Toni asks what they used to call Rachel, and she says, “Just Rachel.” Oh, well, they should fix that. Rachel Reckoning! Rachel the Relentless! No, wait! Rachel the Ravishing Raven! Wait, wait! Rachel the Metropolis Maven! Rachel says she’ll take ’em. Put those on a shirt. Why yes, darling! See Superman in theaters starting July 11th!
Toni Storm heads to the ring!
And now, the AEW Women’s World Champion is accompanied by her butler, Luther, on the way out so that she may join commentary once again.
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Mina Shirakawa!
The CEO is currently #FiveBeltsMone, but she is so confident she’ll stay that way that she’s served Toni Storm a steak dinner to watch as she serves the Fighting Gravure Idol an L! But will Mone stay the Face of TBS? Or will we all be watching #MinaNow?
The introductions are made, the teal title is raised, and we see if the Money Train loses some of its cargo!
Mone lounges on a corner while the bell rings, and Mina runs up to HAMMER Mone down! The fans fire up as Mina fires off but Mone uses the ropes as a defense! The ref backs Mina off, Mone bails out, but Mina gives chase! They go around the outside, back into the ring, and Mone stomps away! The fans boo but Mone stops as the ref reprimands. Mone shows off the pics of Toni on the soles of her boots, then rips them off to throw them at Mina. Toni is rather anxious and worried right now, but Mina manages to KNEE Mone in return! Mina then slips under, but Mone sits on the sunset! The ref says she’s in the ropes!
Mone lets go, Mina sunsets, ONE! The fans duel as Mina SOBATS, runs, but Mone dodges and rolls Mina down into a crossface! Mina pops free, has Mone’s legs, but Mone kicks free. Things speed up, but Mina turns hurdle into FLAPJACK! Mina does her shimmy, says that belt is hers, but then has to go Matrix to dodge a haymaker! Victory roll, TWO! Mone blocks a punch to THROW Mina down by her hair! The ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Mone drags Mina up. Toni is in no mood to eat as Mone says this is ognna be her soon! Mone whips, but Mina reverses to THESZ PRESS! Mina rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!
The ref counts, Mina is throwing those closed fists. Mina stops, but she fires up to THROW Mone! The fans fire up and Mina storms up on Mone again. Mina TOSSES Mone the other way! The fans fire up as Mina shakes it up! Mina then stalks Mone, but Mone ELBOWS her away. Mone hits DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Mone is up and METEORA! Mone throws down fists instead of going for the pin! The fans boo and Mone TOSSES Mina! Mone mocks Toni’s flailing about but Toni is not amused as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The other screen doesn’t really show up right away… Did they mean to go to break? Well, we return to single picture eventually, and Mina has Mone down. Toni is still worried as Mone claims her leg is hurting. Mina SPLASHES, covers, TWO! Mina drags Mone to center to SPLASH the leg! Mina wants the Figure Four but Mone drags her into the STATEMENT MAKER! Mina endures, the fans rally up, and Mina fights forward. Mone kicks off the ropes, but Mina rolls free! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” but Mone CLUBS at Mina’s leg! Mina SLAPS Mone, pushes on the hold, but Mone SLAPS back!
Mone rolls, rolls, and they end up on the apron, then fall to the floor! The leglock is undone and Toni is even more concerned. It’s almost like she’s watching a horror movie. The fans rally for Mina as she and Mone are still in this. Mina brings Mone up, sends her at the ring but Mone reverses. Mina tiger feint kicks from the apron! Then she FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up and Mina hurries to TORNADO DDT to the floor! The fans fire up even more and Mina puts Mone in the ring. Mone tiger feint kicks in return! Mone then METEORAS to the floor! Double-edged as Mone clutches her leg, but Toni has gone back to being stoic.
Mina and Mone stir while the ref starts the ring count. The count is 8, Mone rolls in, but Mina is in at 9! Mina and Mone have wild looks in their eyes, and they both grab each other by the hair! They stand up, Mone talks trash, and she fires a forearm! Mina laughs that off, then puts some stank on her FOREARM SHOT! Mina eggs Mone on, and the forearms fly! The fans boo Mone, cheer Mina, and repeat! The shots go faster and faster, Mone gets the edge, but Mina whips her away. Mina runs in, but Mone BOOTS her! Mone goes up, FLYING SUNSET FLIPS, but Mina rolls through! BASEMENT METEORA! Mone storms around but the fans boo.
Mone runs corner to corner, SUNSET BUCKLE BOMB! Shoutout to her Role Model, and then a METEORA in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Mina survives and Mone grows frustrated, and Toni seems concerned again. The fans duel more as Mone climbs up. METEORA AGAIN! NO, Mina rolls through, SMASHES the knee on the mat again and again, then hits a DRAGON SCREW! Mina has the legs, FIGURE FOUR!! Mone endures, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! A fingertip saves Mone, but Mina lets go to go up the corner! The fans rally again, but Mone stands. Mina leaps to FLYING SLINGBLADE! Cover, TWO!!
Mone survives and Mina grows frustrated, but Mina calls her shout! Mina drags Mone into the dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, but Mone slips free! Underhooks, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free! Mone swings, Mina block s and ROLLING ELBOWS! DREAM SMASHER ELBOW! BLINDSIDE BUZZSAW!! The fans are thunderous as Mone is down and Mina rises up! Mina grins as she aims again! URAKEN!! Mina isn’t done! She dragon sleepers, for GLAMOROUS DRIVER MINA!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Mone survives and Mina is shocked! Toni is still unsettled but the fans rally as hard as they can!
Mina drags Mone up for another dragon sleeper, tries again, but Mone slips free! BACKSTABBER! But Mina’s right up?!? SHINING WIZARD!! Cover, ONE?!!? Mone shakes her head, but Mina runs up on her! Mone scoops Mina for CIPHER UTAKI!! Both women are down and the fans are thunderous! Luther fans Toni, she is still shvitzing despite her face being plain. Mone crawls to a cover, TWO! Mina survives but Mone snarls. Mone drags Mina up, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free again! Victory roll, leg lock, but Mone makes it a cradle!! MONE WINS!!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
The CEO snatches victory from the jaws of defeat and Mina can’t believe it! But then Mone DECKS Mina! NOW Toni does something, and she rushes into the ring! Mone runs away, but only for Toni to let her guard down! Mone CLOBBERS Toni from behind!! The fans boo as Mone goes to the cake she had waiting, licks some of the frosting, then she throws the champagne in Luther’s face! Ten days are all that remain, will Mone show that Toni’s time is up and that her time is now?
Matthew Jackson has a surprise for Nicholas Jackson.
Matt has his brother keep his eyes closed as they walk out into the parking lot. Matt says that since they’re in Ontario, California, and that’s a stone’s throw away from their hometown of Rancho Cucamonga, AND since it is episode 300 of Dynamite, this is a homecoming for them. Matt wanted to celebrate early, went on a shopping spree with the company card, and well… Look! Nick opens his eyes, and it is a stretch limo with their “Founding Fathers” design all over it! Well, in a way, Tony Khan bought this for them. But the outside is just the beginning. Check what’s inside! A tone of new Nike shoes! Nick loves having power and wealth.
Matt says this is how he sees things going: They go on a trip down memory lane, see some of their favorite childhood spots, and then enjoy themselves. The Bucks hop inside, the driver pulls out of the lot, and we begin the montage of The Bucks sharing Rancho Cucamonga with the world. First, Bear Gulch Elementary. Nick had his first kiss here. And the one time he told his teacher to “Suck it,” he got written up for it. They might be the only famous people to ever come out of this city. The reminiscing is set to continue, but will Matt & Nick be ready for their match alongside Konosuke Takeshita? Or will they be a little to high on themselves to care?
AEW returns and…
After the Bucks get some In N Out burgers ‘n’ fries, they stop by their childhood home. And immediately scratch themselves on the chain link fence. It always felt bigger when they were kids. But anyway, it’s more fun in the limo. The Bucks head out again, where will their next stop on “memory lane” be?
Men’s Casino Gauntlet Number Two Spot Fatal 4 Way: MJF VS Anthony Bowens VS Brody King VS AR Fox!
The Scumbag had to eat his words last week when Mark Briscoe won the number one spot in the All In Men’s Casino Gauntlet, but now he looks to get in right behind him. However, the Pride of Professional Wrestling says he has his five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong! Will Bowens get to scissoring and cut MJF in line? Or are they both overlooking the King of Death and the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and Ontario is pretty strongly behind “Brody! Brody! BRODY EFFIN’ KING!” MJF says hold on, hold on. MJF brings out stacks of cash to give to Brody so he and Brody can work together here. Brody throws MJF’s money down! MJF scrambles out of the ring, but Brody and the others pursue! MJF hurries back into the ring, the ref is cleaning up the strewn money, and MJF bails out the other side. MJF hides behind commentary, but also the Hurt Syndicate. The fans are torn between booing and chanting, “We Hurt~ People!” Brody DOUBLE LARIATS Fox and Bowens! Brody then drags Fox up to THROW him into railing!
Brody ROCKS Fox and sits him down in a chair. Bowens runs up, but he’s sent into railing, too! Brody then whips Bowens hard into the far side! Brody CHOPS Bowens and makes him sit! Brody runs and SPLASHES Fox against railing! The fans bark, MJF joins commentary long enough to say he works smarter, not harder, and he’ll let Brody destroy these guys for him. And then Brody SPLASHES Bowens against railing! The fans fire up as MJF says he doesn’t want no part of that. Brody puts Fox in the ring while MVP says MJF is cerebral, letting the big guy do the work so he can clean up the scraps.
Brody runs at Fox in a corner but Fox dodges! Fox BOOTS Brody, runs in and A-LIST LARIATS! Bowens runs up but Fox ELBOWS him away! Fox skins the cat to DROPKICK Brody and STUN- NO, Bowens shoves Fox away. Fox comes back, Bowens dodges, redirects, but Fox drops and swings, but Bowens hits a FLOATOVER DDT! SUPERKICK to Brody, then a FAMOUSER! The fans fire up for Bowens but MJF still claims he’ll slip in and take that “easy dub.” MJF then mockingly asks Excalibur if we’re gonna see tope conjilos and such. Fox puts Bowens on the apron, sweeps the legs, then runs to BLACK HOLE – Wait, the ropes aren’t cooperating.
Fox slingshots to DOUBLE STOMP Bowens all the same, then he jumps in and BOOTS Brody off the apron! Fox goes to the apron and springboards, IMPLODER SENTON! The fans are thunderous for Fox, and Shelton Benjamin gives a sarcastic thumbs up. MJF sarcastically says, “AR Fox taking flight!” Fox runs up on Bowens but Bowens hits a DRAPING DDT! Both men tumble to the floor, and Brody builds speed?! Brody DIVES and wipes them both out! MJF SMACKS Brody with a chair! The fans boo but MJF puts Bowens and Fox in the ring. Cover on Bowens, TWO! MJF is frustrated while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
MJF goes to Fox and covers, ONE!! MJF goes outside, fetches his chair, and SMACKS Brody again! MJF soaks up the heat, then JAMS Brody in the back! Brody writhes, MJF struts up the steel steps and soaks up more heat. MJF talks trash, then storms over to Fox in a corner. MJF digs his boot into Fox but still steps off to go to Bowens. Bowens throws haymakers! MJF CLAWS Bowens’ eyes! MJF digs his boots in on Bowens, then goes back to Fox. MJF uses his scarf to CHOKE Fox! The ref reprimands but that’s all he can do, and MJF lets Fox go so that he can CHOKE Bowens with the scarf! The ref reprimands, MJF stops, and he dusts himself off.
MJF swaggers around, does a Fargo Strut, but Bowens ROCKS him with a right! And ROCKS him again! Then Bowens puts MJF in a corner to rain down fists! Bowens goes all the way to ten, but then MJF hits an atomic drop! MJF scoops Bowens to SLAM him, then he sits Bowens up so he can rally the fans. MJF runs, runs, but then just THRUSTS in Bowens’ face! Dynamite 300 returns to single picture, MJF grins as the fans cheer and jeer, but then they all bark because Brody is back!

Winner: MJF, by submission (guaranteed #2 entrant in the Casino Gauntlet)
MJF vows that the gauntlet will be his! He is coming for that golden ticket to the top! The Hurt Syndicate celebrates with their guy, but “Reach for the Sky!” Here comes Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as Briscoe shows off the new shirt: “MJF has a Tiny Kosher Pickle!” Briscoe congratulates MJF on winning this match, making him the #2 in the Casino Gauntlet. MJF says yeah, that’s right! Briscoe adds that the bad news is, Briscoe is the #1! That means MJF has ensured himself an uninterrupted ass whooping at least for a brief moment in time. The fans cheer that! They also chant “TINY PICKLE!” and MJF tells them to shut up!
Briscoe shrugs as he looks at his own shirt. Briscoe does want to make this clear, he is not addressing Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin or MVP when he says this. He is talking directly to the man who called him a “Blue Collar B*tch” on national TV. MJF says that’s cuz he is one! Briscoe says the “blue collar” is a badge of armor. But that “b*tch” comment is what has ensured that beatdown! The fans cheer that, too! But Briscoe wants MJF to know that he is always two steps ahead.
So here is a proposition: Next week on Dynamite, MJF has the Hurt Syndicate stay in the back while he gets in the ring with a microphone. Briscoe will then make his way out with a microphone so that they can have a little talky talk. The fans chant “TALKY TALK!” and MJF can’t believe it. Briscoe says if MJF has a pair of nuts next to that tiny pickle, he will accept! The fans cheer that, too! Will the Wolf of Wrestling play fair with the Sussex County Chicken?

Lashley drags Bailey back from the corner, Shelton kicks Bailey low, then DECKS him!
Lashley fires KNEE after KNEE into Knight’s ribs, and hits a FLATLINER! Shelton stands Bailey back up so he can scoop SLAM him down beside Knight! The fans are torn but MJF mockingly says he has $100 on Hurt Syndicate. That is definitely the safe bet, but Knight manages to rise up? Knight shouts at them and says they didn’t finish the job! They’re still standing! MJF asks if they’re outta their minds, and MVP says those two are just stupid. He sends Lashley & Shelton back in, the brawl is on again, but then Shelton and Lashley hoist JetSpeed up! STEREO POWERBOMBS!! MJF says now they’re cooked, they can leave.
The Hurt Syndicate regroups and leaves JetSpeed behind. But then Knight rises up again!? Knight says they won’t back down! He and Bailey stand again, so MVP says okay, third time’s the charm. The brawl goes off again, and Lashley RAMS Bailey into buckles! And RAMS him again and again and again! Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KICK Knight in the corner! Lashley drags Bailey back up, gut wrenches, and DOMINATOR!! MJF says stay down! JetSpeed sputters, Hurt Syndicate goes up the ramp, but now Knight gets a mic?! “Hey! Hey! We are still alive! Hurt Syndicate, you may know how to hurt people, but in order to keep those titles, you gotta learn how to kill us.”
MVP has Lashley stand down this time, but Knight tells Shelton that Mama Benjamin must’ve taught him how to fight, “cuz you hit like a b*tch!” Collision 100, Knight VS Shelton 1v1! MJF has Shelton stand down, and the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Will Knight & Bailey keep fighting until they’ve got the titles they want? Or will Collision 100 be their last?

Omega rushes out here, chair in hand, and he runs the Don Callis Family off! The fans are thunderous as The Cleaner is here, and he BLASTS Archer off the apron! But wait! TRENT is here, armed with a baton! Ibushi snatches the baton away! Omega kicks Trent low, reels him in, and we get a POWERBOMB GERMAN SUPLEX!!
The fans are thunderous for the Golden Lovers reunion! With ten days left, Omega is back and ready to fight! But will he be in fighting shape by July 12th? Or is he risking a lot more than just a title at All In?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite for episode 300, and it moved pretty well with a lot of focus on matches and not that many promos. Great opening promo from Hangman, and daring the Death Riders to anything was of course going to bring them all out to beat him up. But again, Opps stand in the way, I feel like there should be a way to put the AEW World Trios Championships on the line as the Opps haven’t been defending them. How wild would it be for Hook to join Death Riders since he feels replaced within The Opps? Hangman hitting Marina with the Buckshot was pretty wild, too, and I like that we’re making this a Texas Death Match now to really fit the importance of this match.
Awesome TBS Championship match, and Toni played her role in a very different way than I expected. But as close as Mina looked time and again, of course Mone retains. She gets the win on Mina, she gets the sneak attack on Toni, the momentum is with her, meaning Toni is likely to win at All In. I still hold out hope they at least make it for both AEW titles, but maybe that’s too much like Omega and Okada fighting to be a unified champion. But the thing is, Toni winning means she would be owed a shot at any of the titles Mone holds, outside of the Queen of Harts belt. It’d be fitting if it was the Rev-Pro belt when Forbidden Door: London is next on the schedule.
Awesome Fatal 4 to determine #2 in the Casino Gauntlet, but I figured MJF would win. Great promo from Briscoe to challenge MJF to a “talky talk.” And again, fans love Briscoe cuz they chanted that right away. JetSpeed going after Hurt Syndicate and pulling off something reminiscent of Dolph Ziggler getting beat down and still getting up. Also nice deep cut bringing up Shelton’s mama from that failed angle where “Mama Benjamin” was Shelton’s manager. Shelton VS Knight will be great, and impressing MVP through that match could be a way for JetSpeed to earn their tag title shot at All In.
The Young Bucks going around Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga was some fun stuff, and they did a good job playing up being so above their humble beginnings. Awesome Six Man Tag from them and Konosuke against Bandido & Paragon. Those trios combo moves were great, and the Heels win so that Konosuke has momentum going into next week’s Supercard of Honor. Hard to say Konosuke wins the ROH World Championship. I don’t wanna says he’s above it, but then what? We end up in a similar situation to Jericho where the world champ is barely on the show he represents? But Konosuke needs something if he wants to also go strong into a possible feud with Okada.
Ospreay & Swerve going after The Bucks was a great segue into the main event, and I like that we’re also raising the stakes on their match. EVP titles VS no title shot for 12 months, certainly interesting stories to be told either way. But given it’s an entire YEAR of no Ospreay or Swerve going after the world title, I’m leaning towards The Bucks giving up their EVP status. Then they go on a journey to relearn what it was that made them who they are, making their memory lane trip a bit of foreshadowing.
My Score: 9/10
