PLAY BY PLAY
Adam “Edge” Copeland arrives backstage.
As he finishes a phone call, Arkady Aura is there to say after the match last week with Buddy Matthews, how is he feeling going into tonight, facing Brody King? Edge says he isn’t feeling too great. All this week, his mind’s been wandering to places he doesn’t want it to, and he has to stop it. Tonight, it will stop. Edge has the camera move in tight. Edge just got off the phone with Tony Khan, and TK agreed that tonight, it will be NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! House of Black, you wanted The Rated R Superstar? Tonight, you get him! Edge storms off, is he going to absolutely tear down the House to make sure this ends here?
Orange Cassidy VS Trent Beretta!
Best Friends no more, Freshly Squeezed wants revenge for what #JustTrent did to Chuck Taylor! The Kentucky Gentleman may never ever wrestle again, but will Cassidy makes sure that’s the same for Trent? Or will Trent destroy the career of another former friend?
Trent practically rubs in what he did, having Chuck’s name written on wrist tape as a mock tribute to him, and then the shirt has only the word “Best” on it, with Trent’s little cartoon face. Seems Trent only needs #JustTrent from now on. The bell rings and Cassidy runs up! The hands fly, Trent shoves but Cassidy dodges! Trent bails out to avoid the Orange Punch, but Cassidy DIVES onto him! Direct hit into barriers and the fans fire up! Cassidy drags Trent up to throw hands! The ref wants this in the ring but Cassidy ROCKS Trent first! Cassidy then POSTS Trent, brings him around, and POSTS Trent again!
The fans fire up while Cassidy brings Trent up. Trent RAMS Cassidy into the post now! Then Trent LARIATS Cassidy down! The fans boo, Trent drags Cassidy up to DECK him, then he rains down fists! The ref counts, Trent lets off, and the fans boo. Trent looms over Cassidy, then gives a mocking thumbs up. Trent stands Cassidy up, whips and Cassidy hits railing! Trent storms up to Cassidy, ROCKS him and whips him, but Cassidy LEAPS the railing! The fans fire up and Cassidy puts his hands… in his pockets! Trent hurries out but Cassidy dodges to SUPERKICK! Cassidy drags Trent up and ROCKS him with a right!
Cassidy fires off on Trent, then has some popcorn. Cassidy ROCKS Trent again, brings him around and ROCKS him as they go up the bleachers! The fans fire up as Cassidy throws more hands! They spill into the stands, and the fans are thunderous as Cassidy rains down fists! Cassidy goes all the way to TEN! Cassidy brings Trent back to the aisle, ROCKS him again, and they head back for ground level. The fans cheer Cassidy on but Trent hits low! The ref wants this in the ring but Trent suplexes. Cassidy fights that to suplex Trent up and over onto the floor! Trent writhes but so does Cassidy, and the fans fire up again.
Cassidy runs in but Trent TOSSES him over barriers! Cassidy has a rough landing, and he writhes and flounders to the steps. Trent goes up the barriers, but Cassidy YANKS him down! Trent hits barriers hard then falls to the floor! Both men are down, but Cassidy crawls away. Cassidy gets himself in the ring, Trent drags himself up and in to follow. Cassidy takes aim, runs up, but Trent ducks the Orange Punch! BUSAIKU KNEE! But Cassidy’s right up! ORANGE PUNCH!! Both men are down again and the fans fire up! The fans rally for Cassidy as hard as they can, and he drags himself to ropes. Cassidy rises, but then Don Callis walks out here!
The fans boo as callous Callis is now ringside. Callis talked with Orange Cassidy in private last week, is this him following up on the discussion? Seems Callis is gonna join commentary, but Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Trent flounders, Callis heads his way and brings him up. Cassidy ROCKS Trent, but Trent CLAWS Cassidy’s eyes! Trent CHOKES Cassidy in the corner, lets off as the ref counts, and Trent CHOPS! Trent backs off, runs in, but into an ELBOW! Cassidy goes up, but Trent YANKS him down into a SAIDO! But Cassidy’s right up! But he swings into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Trent scowls while Cassidy stirs, and Trent stands over him. Cassidy stands, but Trent DECKS him! Cassidy flops out of the ring and Trent wants the ring count. The ref starts the count, Cassidy sits up at 3 of 10, then crawls over at 5. Cassidy slides in at 6, and Trent is annoyed.
Trent storms up to bring Cassidy up, and CHOPS him right down! Trent looms over Cassidy, brings him back up, talks trash, then reels Cassidy in. Cassidy resists the lift, but Trent CLUBS him again and again! Cassidy still resists the lift, and even tries to lift Trent! Trent fights that, they go back and forth, and Cassidy back drops! Trent sunset flips but Cassidy rolls through to PENALTY KICK! Both men are down, and the fans fire up as Cassidy goes to a corner. Dynamite returns to single picture, the fans rally as Cassidy stands. Cassidy ROCKS Trent, Trent ROCKS Cassidy! They go back and forth, the fans clearly on Cassidy’s side!
Callis says that his conversation with Cassidy last week was about giving him support, but also about taking him to the next level. Cassidy fires forearms on Trent again and again, but Trent throat chops! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Trent reels Cassidy in. Trent suplexes, but blocks Stun Dog Millionaire! Trent then half nelsons, but Cassidy breaks free. Cassidy wrenches but Trent ripcords, only for Cassidy to duck ‘n’ dodge and tilt-o-whirl, DDT! The fans fire up as Cassidy kips up! Callis says “This kid is tremendous!” Cassidy sits Trent up to “unleash” the kicks! Cassidy then kicks and kicks and kicks and stomps away on Trent!
The fans fire up, the ref wants Cassidy to let off, but Cassidy just rains down fists of fury! Cassidy throws off his elbow pad, and he takes aim! Trent rises, grabs at the ref, but Cassidy still runs in! Trent gets around, HALF ‘N’ HALF! Callis says this is the problem wrestling someone who knows you so well, you gotta have a counter for the counter. Trent drags Cassidy up, to short arm LARIAT! Trent snarls while the fans boo, but he goes back to stand Cassidy up. The fans chant “YOU SUCK!” at Trent but he lifts Cassidy for a PILEDRIVER! But Trent thinks, and he doesn’t cover! Callis says this isn’t good strategy, but Trent wants to hurt Cassidy!
Trent drags Cassidy up and reels him back in, for another PILEDRIVER!! And then he drags Cassidy up again, but Cassidy’s dead weight! Callis knows Cassidy is highly resilient, but Trent knows that, too. Trent mockingly calls for the hug, and then BUSAIKU KNEES!! Trent still doesn’t cover, he wants the ref to call it! The ref checks Cassidy, but that lets Trent rip a buckle pad off! The ref sees that and Trent acts like it’s no big deal. But then Cassidy exposes a buckle! Trent runs in at Cassidy, but is sent into the buckle! Roll-up, CASSIDY WINS!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
Trent wanted to bend the rules, Cassidy just used that against him! Callis applauds Cassidy while Trent is about to explode! Trent storms out after Cassidy to CLOBBER him from behind! The fans boo but Trent rains down fists of fury! The ref reprimands, but Trent CLAWS at Cassidy’s eyes! Trent lets off, only go bring the steel steps around! The fans boo more and tell Trent off, but Trent tells Cassidy this is what he wanted. Trent drags Cassidy over, brings him up, STEEL STEP PILEDRIVER!!! Callis says that was sickening! But did Trent just end Callis’ hopes of recruiting Cassidy? Wait, he’s still not done?!
Trent puts Cassidy under the ring to CATAPULT him into the frame!! Cassidy sputters as he clutches his throat! Callis wants security to get out here, but Trent brings out a chair, moves the steps around, and then grabs a toolbox! But Cassidy has a chair to defend himself now! Callis hurries off commentary to stop this! And now Kris Statlander rushes out here! She tries to implore her two friends, and Callis ushers Cassidy away. Just what is going on in Trent’s mind that this is okay? What is Callis up to that he is supporting Cassidy?
The Elite speak.
From inside their rental, Matthew & Nicholas look back from the front seats to make sure their random cameraman is all buckled up. They’re pulling into the arena, and Nick says this place is a dump. Matt doesn’t like Canada. Is there nowhere good to park? Nick honks at someone to get out of their way. And then they pull into the spot reserved for Tony Khan! But duh, he can’t be here right now, his neck is keeping him back in Jacksonville. What perfect parking. Time to clock in, gentlemen. Just another day at work. The Bucks lead the way for Jack Perry and Kazuchika Okada, what other abuses of power will they exact on the road to Double or Nothing?
AEW shares footage from after last week.
After their heinous attack on Kenny Omega, Jack Perry was upset, but he had more to say. “Kenny Omega. Is this the best that you got?” He points to a scratch on his face. “You know, you’re not as bad as you think you are. But I hope that you had fun hitting all your old moves in your hometown for what’s probably the last time in your entire life. And the thing that hurts me the most, Kenny, is that you are not the hero that we needed you to be. When it came down to it, you were a COWARD! Like everybody else. And the truth is, The Elite doesn’t need you anymore, and neither does AEW. Because we are going to change the world without you. We all have to sacrifice, and you just made yours.”
The Scapegoat has spoken, but will there truly be no stopping The Elite’s corruption from spreading?
Kenny Omega speaks.
Again, because of that heinous attack, The Cleaner is in the hospital. He apologizes for not seeming like himself. He wishes he could’ve been in Edmonton live tonight, but it seems the EVPs had other plans in mind. 15 years, they’re like family, and yet here we are. Well, Kenny is, at least. He’s in the ER, and it’s hard not to take what they did to him personally. He really feels he has to thank Matthew & Nicholas for reminding him that what they did wasn’t personal, but business. As a fellow EVP, that means Kenny has business to take care of before he gets his body taken care of. And it got him thinking…
May 26th marks the fifth anniversary of where it all started: Double or Nothing. And since The Bucks walk by the beat of their own drum, since they make their own rules, why not throw the rulebook out the window? Anarchy in the Arena! This new Elite of the Young Bucks, Okada & Jack Perry VS “Team AEW.” And two names that come right off the top of his head as the greatest tag team in AEW and perhaps of all professional wrestling, and the only two guys with the courage to stand up to the Bucks: FTR! As for the other two, well, Kenny’s a bit new to this match making stuff, but something tells him that on a first come, first serve basis, someone will reveal themselves later tonight.
So until they meet again Bucks, Okada & Jack, Kenny must bid you adieu. Goodbye, mwah, and goodnight, BANG. Kenny is ready to heal up and start the comeback, but who will fight in his honor to tear down the corrupt Elite?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
We return to Edmonton as Schiavone says that’s quite the match made for the fifth anniversary! But another match at Double or Nothing will be the AEW Women’s World Championship, “Timeless” Toni Storm VS his guest, Serena Deeb! The Professor of Professional Wrestling makes her way out, dressed to impress, and she gets the fans fired up. Schiavone tells Serena that we know the accolades, we know the skillset, but the question is, is she ready to go for the AEW Women’s World title on May 26th? Any thoughts on Storm? Serena says first off, what’s up Edmonton? And yes, it is great to be here live on Dynamite!
To answer the question, of course she’s excited to be wrestling for THE AEW Women’s World Championship, and in Las Vegas at Double or Nothing. And she is wrestling the great Toni Storm. Serena is aware, everyone loves Storm. In fact, even she does. But she’s also very aware of the narrative that “Deeb is not gonna be able to defeat Toni Storm.” Well, as much as that upsets her, she gets it. She thought it was important to come out here and explain why losing at Double or Nothing is not an option for The Professor. The fans cheer, Deeb smiles, and she says that several months ago, she finally made her in-ring return after a very long, 15 MONTHS away.
That time away was the hardest, without a doubt, time away. So for the people that don’t know, last year, Deeb suffered a series of three unprovoked seizures. That was the hardest experience of her life. It was the most traumatic, she can’t explain how scary it all was. There was so much weight on her shoulders, she was so worried another seizure would happen. She saw all the doctors, did all the scans, did everything to figure out why it was happening, and no one could explain it. From what Deeb learned about seizures, and perhaps there are those in the crowd or watching at home who know, but the hardest part is that you don’t know why it happens.
So Deeb had so much time to reflect on what she wanted in her career. The thing that stuck in her mind was this vision of finally becoming AEW Women’s World Champion! It was that vision, despite all the fear, uncertainty and confusion, that carried her forward. She just imagined and dreamed of what it’d feel like to finally be world champion. The fans do cheer that, but then Toni Storm interrupts! The fans cheer the leading lady of AEW as she has a mic of her own. Schiavone welcomes the champ, and Storm says she thought she was going to hear from her challenger. All she’s heard is a charity case!
So here, take this money. Storm throws it at Deeb, and Deeb tells Storm to actually give a damn and take this seriously! Deeb has literally fought for her life to get back here, and at Double or Nothing, she fights for her life to finally be AEW Women’s World Champion! The fans are torn but Storm says that with everything Deeb has gone through, she can honestly say… she doesn’t give a single, solitary sh*t!! Storm then turns her nose up at Deeb but Deeb just stares her down. Deeb turns to leave, but Storm takes a swing! Deeb blocks to DECK Storm! The fans are torn again but Deeb shows she’s got power to back up her technique!
Luther has to help Storm up off the floor, she still has to support Mariah May later tonight! Will Storm have to watch what she says before she ends up putting her foot in her mouth?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Lexy Nair is with Freshly Squeezed as a medical staff member checks him. Lexy is hoping for an update, but Rocky Romero steps in first. Rocky knows Cassidy just went through Hell out there, but is he okay? Rocky says he has a champ against one of the Trios Champs, and he also just talked with Tony Khan on the phone. TK said that if Rocky beats Jay White, then Rocky, Cassidy and a third man of their choice get a title shot! That could be Rocky, Cassidy & Ishii, or Rocky, Cassidy & Shibata! Whoever! Or… maybe they mend fences and it’s Trent. Cassidy gets mad now. No, they’ll figure something out. Just not Trent. Cassidy wishes Rocky luck, will Azucar be able to take down The Switchblade?
Harley Cameron w/ Saraya VS Mariah May!
The Outcasts were mocking Mariah as “Tiny Storm,” and are promising to send a message to the leading lady through her understudy. However, after Deeb’s knockout punch, it seems there’s no Storm to be seen. Will Mariah be able to do this on her own? Or will this crazy Harley rev up and run her right over?
For some reason, Don Callis is back on commentary. Is the Don Callis Family looking to go for the Women’s Division? The bell rings and the two circle. Saraya is lurking, and then Harley CLOBBERS Mariah! Harley bumps Mariah off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, then RAMS into her! The ref counts, Harley brings Mariah out to ROUNDHOUSE, run and SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Mariah is still in this but Harley argues the count. Harley goes back for Mariah, mocks #TinyStorm, then SLAPS her down! Harley stands over Mariah, throws her down, then sits her up to get a taste before she throws her down again!
The fans rally for Mariah while Saraya talks trash with fans. Harley whips but Mariah reverses to send Harley to a corner! Mariah runs up to CHOP Harley, then CHOPS her again! The fans fire up for Mariah as she DOUBLE CHOPS! Mariah whips corner to corner, runs up and forearm smashes! Then she whips the other way, for another forearm smash! Mariah brings Harley around, scoops, and SPINOUT SIDEWALK SLAMS! Mariah runs to SHOTGUN Harley back down! The fans fire up but Harley bails out. Saraya checks on Harley, only for Mariah to storm up and bring her up! Harley HOTSHOTS Mariah back! And ROUNDHOUSES!
Saraya cheers as Harley AX KICKS Mariah in the ropes! Mariah flops to the floor and Harley soaks up the heat while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref argues with Harley, but that lets Saraya THROW Mariah into railing! Saraya plays innocent, blows kisses to the camera, then talks trash on the fans. Harley goes out to fetch Mariah, she and Saraya talk more trash on the fans, and then Harley CLUBS Mariah down. Saraya mockingly cheers Mariah, Harley brings her up, but Mariah ROCKS Harley back! Harley storms up on Mariah to fire knee after knee! Then Harley SMACKS Mariah off the apron! Harley digs her boot in, the ref counts, but Harley lets off. Saraya coaches Harley, Harley brings Mariah around to put in the ring. Harley then storms in to soak up more heat.
Mariah runs up at the corner but Harley kicks her first! Harley puts Mariah in the corner, kicks away, then digs her boot in. The ref counts, Harley lets off again, but Saraya gets a cheap shot! Saraya CHOKES Mariah, but hurries away so as not to get caught. She even yells at a kid for ratting on her! Harley whips Mariah corner to corner hard, and Mariah falls to the mat. Harley covers, TWO! Mariah is still in this but Harley paces. Harley stomps Mariah around, then drags her into a chinlock. Mariah endures, even as Harley grinds her down. Saraya mocks the fans, but Mariah fights up as they rally up. Mariah ROCKS Harley!
Harley comes back to throw Mariah down by her hair! The ref reprimands, but Harley CHOKES Mariah on ropes! The ref counts, Harley lets off, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Harley CHOKES Mariah again, whips, but Mariah ducks ‘n’ dodges, both women RUNNING FACEBUSTER! The fans fire up and Saraya wants to point out the freaks in the crowd! The fans embrace being called freaks, but Harley and Mariah rise in the ring. Mariah ROCKS Harley, Harley ROCKS Mariah! The forearms go back and forth, and the fans rally up! The two stand, still trade shots, and Mariah gets the edge! The fans fire up as she fires off again and again!
Mariah ROCKS Harley one more time, then roars. Mariah runs, but Harley LARIATS at the ropes! Harley runs, but Mariah runs up to FOREARM! Mariah reels Harley in, SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Saraya is freaking out! Mariah drags Harley back up, but Harley JAWBREAKERS! Harley wrenches, kicks, but Mariah blocks! HEADBUTT a la Storm! The fans fire up as Mariah goes to a corner. Mariah climbs, Harley staggers, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up with Mariah and she says kiss this! SWEET- NO, Saraya gets Harley outta there! The fans boo, but Mariah goes out to DECK Saraya!
The fans fire up as Mariah puts Harley in and tells Saraya to stay outta her match! Mariah storms back into the ring, then gets Harley, but Harley gets Mariah in a cradle! TWO!! Mariah runs up, dodges and fireman’s carries, to then MAYDAY DRIVER!! Cover, Mariah wins!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall
But then Saraya CLOBBERS Mariah! The fans boo as The Outcasts mug Mariah, with no Toni Storm to make the save! But wait! Mina Shirakawa is here! And she is going to save her friend! Saraya shoves Harley in Mina’s way, so Mina URAKENS Harley! The fans fire up as Team Rose Gold stands tall together! And… no kiss? Champagne first! Mina’s a bit of a tease, but will she and Mariah humble Saraya & Harley while Storm handles her business with Deeb?
Backstage interview with Pac.
Arkady is with The Bastard, and says the last time we saw him was at Dynasty, in a great match against Kazuchika Okada. And now with the return of Rey Fenix, is Death Triangle going to get back in action? Pac says to be honest, at this moment in time, he is not concerned with… But then Bullet Club Gold walks by, carrying all their gold, and he wants this interview to pause so Arkady can step over to them. Jay White can help with the confusion here: NOBODY is concerned with Death Triangle! They’re D E A D, dead! What Pac needs to worry about is himself. Like little lady Arkady said, Pac’s coming off a loss for the Continental Championship against one Rainmaker.
Now, boys, isn’t there someone that does know how to beat Okada? Austin & Colten agree that there is, and that someone is Jay White. Yes, it is! Switchblade Jay White, The Catalyst of Pro-Wrestling! So maybe, maybe, White should go after the Continental Championship and Okada, and then add even more gold to the hold! Maybe. Tonight, White has Azucar to handle. So Pac and his new friend, sadness, can hang out here in the hallway and watch and learn a thing or two, or three, or four, about winning. #GunsUp, ya bastard! The Bang Bang Gang heads out, but will they regret poking fun at Pac?
Malakai Black speaks.
“Once upon a time, there was a boy full of hopes and dreams. And that boy, upon becoming a man, manifested his dreams into reality. Now, this man was so pivotal to the industry that he changed its landscape. But then, the man has started fearing death and became painfully aware of his own mortality. So the man found a way to enjoy life and cast off the shadows that gave him everything, all in exchange for a wife, children, and all things that were in the light of the sun, rather than the fast-track suicidal shadows of death. The man really created a facade from who he really was. And thus The Devil sent the men from The House.
“Why? Well, the man named Adam had to be reminded of who he really was! Not the husband, the father, the champion for the people. And all I have to do is kill the facade, and prove to the world that this man is a vile, coldhearted, evil son of a b*tch! And I have to bring you to the brink of death so that you may live again.” The Dark Father has spoken, but will the Rated R Superstar still escape the King of Death?
The Young Bucks play a video package.
“In 2019, visionary pioneers, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, made it their mission to change the world of professional wrestling for the better. Even in the face of those who sought only to defy this noble calling. Your EVPs never faltered in their pursuit. Now, standing arm-in-arm with those devoted solely to this virtuous cause, The Elite will change the world.” Clearly a lot of pro Bucks visuals here, but Matt & Nick sure admire that “wonderful piece of promotional material.” That narrator deserves a raise! More of this, and less updates from Kenny Omega. That fraud! They’ll address that later tonight in the ring.
But then a staff member brings over the schedule piece for what’s next. Oh, right, we’re going to hear from the AEW World Champion. Oh hey there he is right there! Go get ’em, Swerve! The EVPs then roll their eyes, but will Kenny’s promise for Anarchy in the Arena come true?
Swerve Strickland heads to the ring!
Edmonton fires up as The Realest storms right to the ring, no Prince Nana dancing because this is business! Swerve gets a mic and says he’s in a real foul mood. He’s pissed off! He’s in a fighting mood! And here is why. A video plays showing last week’s cheap shot by Christian Cage, the beating by The Patriarchy, and Killswitch Luchasaurus PULLING a dreadlock out of Swerve’s head! The fans boo and Swerve says it’s funny how when you becoming champion, everyone wants a piece of you, figuratively and literally! Swerve then tells Christian that he can’t really blame him. Swerve would’ve done the same, and hell, he has done the same!
Because when you see someone at the top, you go after that someone at the top. And make no mistake about it, Swerve is the Connor McDavid of AEW! AKA the best player of the Edmonton Oilers ever. The fans appreciate that shoutout. Swerve isn’t gonna wait any longer! He wants Christian to get his scuffed up boots, his dingy jacket, his itchy turtleneck, and the rest of the Addams Family out here so they can have this conversation right now! And so here comes The Patriarchy! Christian has a mic to say, “Well, look at this. Our world heavyweight champion standing right there in the middle of the ring, in the self-proclaimed City of Champions…
“I hate to break it to you, Edmonton. There won’t be any championship this year, because in a couple hours, I can’t wait to watch The Canucks stomp The Edmonton Oilers!” The fans boo but Christian says speaking of stomping out, that’s what happened last week to Swerve, isn’t it? People have said it was sick and disgusting seeing them pull a dreadlock out. But Swerve, that was by design. The fans cheer for the Oilers but Christian tells them to shut their mouths while he conducts business! Christian tells Swerve that he has decided that every week, he is going to take something from Swerve until he ultimately takes what he wants.
Christian knows Swerve has been riding this huge wave of momentum, all the way to the AEW World Championship. But the funny thing about waves is, they always crash! And at Double or Nothing, it will crash at Christian’s feet! Swerve is not in Christian’s league! Christian is The Patriarch of AEW, The Face of TBS & TNT, and he deserves to stand atop the mountain as THE AEW World Champion! But after Double or Nothing, when the dust settles, and again shut your mouths, Edmonton! But Swerve can take comfort knowing, that when the walls are crashing down, and as Swerve’s House is foreclosed on, he can see gold whenever he wants, because he’ll just look at those stupid gold teeth.
Unless… Christian takes those right now! The fans boo but Swerve reminds Christian, he wasn’t coming alone! And with that, The Mogul Embassy slides into the ring! Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona back Swerve up! What’s wrong, Christian? Swerve wants Christian to get in the ring so that he can beat him down as bad as Kendrick Lamar did Drake this weekend! And this won’t be the last time someone from the West Coast took out a fake father from Toronto! Whoa~! Swerve tells Christian to be the face of the company! Christian got here by politicking, but Swerve had to get beat down and get back up to be champion! Don’t you forget that!
The fans fire up and Swerve dares Christian to come take his gold! Oh, that’s right. Christian won’t. That would put him in a very uncomfortable position. And we all know that when Christian is faced with an uncomfortable position, he just says, “I quit!” Swerve drops the mic but Christian lifts his up. Only to be speechless! But then BRIAN CAGE ATTACKS SWERVE!? And the Gates of Agony don’t even care! In fact, they start beating Swerve down!! Why are they betraying Swerve?! Liona hauls Swerve up, feeds him to Kaun, and they rip the shirt away so they can throw body shots! Christian cheers on these traitors as they hit the ROCK-A-BYE BOMB!!
The fans boo and refs rush out here! But then Liona SHOVES a ref away! That’s a fine but sounds like they got paid off anyway! Brian Cage says he told Swerve that Swerve doesn’t run this! The Machine then lifts Swerve up to TOSS him out of the ring! Swerve crashes to the floor, and The Embassy isn’t done! Christian wants them to end this! They clear the desk, bring steel steps over, and they run the refs off! Kaun CHOKES Swerve, Brian Cage drags Swerve up, and he tells Swerve that this is what he gets for acting like he was always better than them! Kaun & Liona get Swerve up the steps, to OPEN THE GATES through the desk!!
The fans boo as hard as they can but The Patriarchy is all smiles. They didn’t take his teeth, but they took his muscle. Is there nothing Captain Charisma won’t do to take everything from Swerve’s House?
The Young Bucks are applauding!?
They loved what just happened to Swerve! 4.5 stars! They shake hands with Christian and he says that was a great idea. It’s been a pleasure conducting business with them and he looks forward to doing more. This is the start of a very fruitful working relationship. The Patriarchy heads out, Nick says Swerve’s gonna feel that one in the morning. Matt says that wouldn’t be considered a “b*tch move,” would it? Not in Nick’s opinion. Anyway, keep the energy up, guys! Next segment!
Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Arkady is now with the AEW TBS Champion and says we saw last Wednesday, Willow defended and retained her title in a Manitoba Massacre! How is she feeling this week? Physically, not so great. She’s got a shiner, for one. But emotionally, spiritually, you can never wipe the smile off her face. Arkady says we are just weeks away from her showdown with one of the biggest names in wrestling today, and one Willow knows well, in Mercedes Mone. Is Willow ready for Double or Nothing? Of course! She’s ready for any challenge, whether it’s Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, maybe even something international!
So to Willow, Double or Nothing is just another stop on the journey of being a champion. So if Willow is ready, the real question is, is Mercedes Mone ready? Willow even asks Mone herself through the camera. Is Mone ready for Willow at Double or Nothing? Because the last time they met in the ring, Willow walked away the winner. And she has so much respect for Mone, she really does. And she is still sorry that Mone got hurt and that was the end of her year. But since then, Willow’s been on the run of her life! NJPW Strong Women’s Champion! The Owen Hart Cup Queen of Harts! And now, THE TBS Champion.
So Mone can win all the red carpet opportunities, the headlines, and the attention. But in the professional wrestling match, Willow will be the winner. May 26th, in Las Vegas, Mone better be ready for the fight of their lives! The Babe with the Power has the passion, will she still be the Face of TBS after she and The CEO finally fight again?
Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championship Eliminator: Jay White w/ The Gunns VS Rocky Romero!
The Bang Bang Gang shows off all NINE belts they own, from The Acclaimed’s hot pink belts to the silver ‘n’ black ROH belts to the restored black ‘n ‘gold AEW trios belts. But will Edmonton soon Breathe with The Switchblade? Or will Azucar win a sweet title match for him, Cassidy and… whoever?
The bell rings, the fans rally up while White taunts Rocky for thinking he’s gonna get a golden ticket. White then mocks Rocky’s Azucar Heat, and Rocky UPPERCUTS him for it! The fans fire up, Rocky rolls White up, TWO!! White gets free, runs up, but Rocky dodges to CHOP! White clinches, Rocky KICKS, KICKS and KICKS! White knees low, whips Rocky to ropes, but Rocky slides out to show us Azucar Heat! The fans fire up, White chases Rocky, but Rocky slides into the ring. Rocky mocks the finger guns, then he DROPKICKS White off the apron! Rocky builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit and down goes White!
The fans fire up for Rocky, he gives us some more Azucar, then puts White in the ring. Rocky runs up, RANAS, and White tumbles to ropes! Rocky fires off on White in the corner, but White shoves him away. Rocky returns to clothesline! And then he goes corner to corner to clothesline again! That’s two-ever, but White dodges three-ever to LARIAT Rocky back! The Gunns fire up and taunt Rocky while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
White stands, he dusts off his hands, and he winds up to CHOP! Rocky falls into a corner, White storms up on him, then stands him up. White CHOPS Rocky in the chest, pushes him around, then brings him up. Rocky throws hands but White blocks to bump Rocky off buckles. Rocky staggers back, White hits him with a DDT! Cover, TWO! Rocky is still in this but White argues the count. White storms up on Rocky, stands him up and wrenches, to then kick low, and kick again! And again, and again! White hammerlocks, chinbars, then brings Rocky into a Gory Especial style lift! Rocky endures while White walks around with him!
White then lets Rocky down so he can snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Rocky stays in this but White stalks after him. The Gunns tell White to keep on Rocky, so White JABS! And JABS! And CHOPS! Rocky flops into a corner, White storms up after him, and brings him around to CHOP! Rocky falls again and The Gunns cheer. White gets the fans fired up, then he goes back for Rocky. White waistlocks but Rocky endures the rear bearhug. White leans on Rocky, Rocky fights up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally, White shifts things into a chinlock, knee digging into Rocky’s back. Rocky still endures and fights up again, only for White to CLUB him!
White cravats, CHOPS, then stalks Rocky to ropes. White reels Rocky in for a suplex, but Rocky slips free! Rocky BOOTS White, UPPERCUTS, then springboards to TORNADO DDT! The fans fire up while both men are down! White stagger sup, but flops right out of the ring! Rocky goes out after him, and leaps off steps to RANA!

The Bang Bang Gang hold all nine belts up over Rocky, then they beat Rocky down! The fans boo, this is insult to injury! But then here comes PAC! The fans fire up as The Bastard storms down to the ring! The Bang Bang Gang all get away, all three of them scared of just one Pac! Will Pac change his mind and revive Death Triangle for one last run?
PROGRAMMING REMINDER for Saturday!
Collision returns and Rampage is coming with it! Another THREE HOUR block of AEW, all on TBS, don’t miss out!
Samoa Joe speaks.
“What drives a warrior to do what he does? A lot of people think that it’s ambition, that it’s a need for conquest. No. What drives a warrior is fear. The fear of wanting. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of meeting an opponent that you cannot surmount. Now many people will tell you that these are the qualities that make up a warrior, and that I am one of these men. But you would be mistaken. For I am not the warrior that fears. I am what these men fear in the first place.” The Samoan Submission Machine is becoming even more dangerous, if that were possible. Who will be the first to feel that fear?
Chris Jericho & “Big Bill” Morrissey VS Mo Jabari & Harlon Abbott!
The Learning Tree has its first pupil, who proved himself worthy making sure the “For The World” Championship stayed with The Ocho. Now Jericho & Morrissey have their first match side by side as teacher and student. Will this be a lesson for their opponents that it is better to be with them than against them?
The teams sort out and Jericho starts against Jabari. The fans rally up for Harlon the hometown guy, but Jericho arm-drags Jabari. Jericho fires up but Jabari gets to his feet. Jabari runs up but Jericho wrenches him to a wristlock. Jabari rolls, handsprings, and drop toeholds! Jericho gets up, seems Jabari knows a thing or two already. Jericho tags out to Big Bill, and Jabari sighs. Jabari takes a swing, but Bill blocks it! Bill KNEES low, CLUBS Jabari down, then stalks him to ropes. Bill puts Jabari in the corner, just to TOSS him across the way! Harlon tags in and the fans fire up! Harlon runs up, but Bill LARIATS him down!
Bill drags Harlon up, TOSSES him to a corner, then he runs at Jabari to SPLASH in the other! Then SPLASH for Harlon! SPLASH for Jabari, SPLASH for Harlon! BOOT for Jabari and Jericho approves. Bill whips Harlon for a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM!! Bill applauds and gives thumbs up, then gets Jabari in a choke grip! SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!! Bill aims again, and Harlon gets up, for his own SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!! Jericho nods, Bill tags Jericho in, and Jericho takes aim now. Harlon stands up, into the JUDAS EFFECT! Cover, The Learning Tree wins!
Winners: Chris Jericho & “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall
Jericho holds up the FTW Championship, Bill celebrates with him, and then Jericho gets the mic. Jericho tells their opponents thanks, thanks the crowd, and just wants to say it is always a pleasure to come back to Calgary- er, Edmonton…! The fans boo Jericho forgetting where they are. Jericho shrugs even as the fans tell him he messed that up. He admits, he deserves it for the mistake. But when you’ve been traveling around the world as long as he has, making memories with people that last a lifetime, sometimes you make a mistake. But you learn from mistakes! And that is what The Learning Tree does!
Jericho knows people are saying, “Ugh, Jericho is back on Dynamite again?” Well yeah, of course he is! He wishes he could be on Dynamite all two hours! But he is here now as the For The World Champion, meaning this title is for all the fans! He thanks the fans again, thanks Big Bill, #TheRedwood, what a great job tonight! So good! Bill has been pulled into The Jericho Vortex, is already learning so much from The Learning Tree, such as how to win. Great job, big man! And Jericho also thanks Shibata for that great match last week. Highest rating on Cagematch.com, if you can believe that!
They chopped each other SEVENTY-NINE times, Shibata headbutted Jericho with a garbage can, Jericho threw hockey pucks back, que sirrah sirrah, right? Jericho also wants to thank Hook, who we still haven’t seen back since essentially hitting himself in the head with a baseball bat at Dynasty. Hook, take as much time as you need. Surely Hook is reflecting on the lessons taught to him by The Learning Tree. Tony Schiavone steps into the ring, Jericho says hi, and Schiavone says hi back. Schiavone says great win for them, but speaking of Hook, we just learned that Hook will be returning next Wednesday, right here on Dynamite!
W-Well alrighty then! We look forward to the return of Hook! They’re gonna celebrate next week! Everyone’s gonna celebrate with them, right? Thanks, everybody, goodnight! This is for all of you! Even you, too, Schiavone! Jericho’s happy act might be put to the test now that The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is on his way back. Will Hook look to chop down The Learning Tree next Wednesday?
AEW TNT Championship No Disqualifications: Adam “Edge” Copeland VS Brody King w/ The House of Black!
The stakes were raised to start the night, and now we see if the gamble pays off! But will going Rated R only prove Malakai Black right? Or can Adam walk as close to the edge as he can without falling into that pit of darkness?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Brody brings gold back to The House!
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two tie up. Brody headlocks, grinds the hold, but Edge throws body shots. Edge powers up but Brody holds on to grind the headlock more. Edge endures, fights up to stomp at Brody’s feet! Edge gets free, runs, but gets run over! Brody roars and fans are torn, but Edge gets to his feet. Edge shakes that shoulder tackle off, gets around Brody, and now he headlocks. Brody powers up and out, scoops, but Edge slips free! Edge tries to fireman’s carries but Brody ELBOWS away! Brody roars, runs, but reels Edge in as Edge tries for a back drop! Edge gets away before the lift, and the two stand off.
Brody grins a sinister grin, then runs in, only for Edge to puts him on the apron! Edge runs to RAM into Brody! Brody stays up so Edge runs in again, only for Brody to KICK him! Brody then gets Edge in the ropes, HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Edge flops down and Brody storms around while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Brody drags Edge out, to whip him hard into the LED barriers! The fans are torn but Brody drags Edge up to CHOP him! Edge leans against railing, Brody CHOKES him, then brings him around to whip hard into steel steps! Edge flops to the floor but Brody hoots and barks. Brody drags Edge back up, CHOPS him again, and Edge again leans against barriers. Brody CHOKES Edge on the barriers again, and lets off when he feels like it! Brody CHOPS Edge again, SMACKS him off steel steps, and Edge falls back. Brody looks under the ring, and he brings out a chair! Brody puts that in the ring, and then puts another chair in, and another chair in!
Brody storms back over to where he left Edge, stands him up and CHOPS him again! Brody ROCKS Edge, stalks him, but Edge hits back! Brody DECKS Edge in return! Brody kicks Edge around, taunts him, and hears the fans rallying. Brody goes looking under the ring, and as if to oblige, he brings out a TABLE! Only to put it back under! Brody finishes trolling the fans to then SMACK Edge off the steel steps! Brody ROCKS Edge, CHOKES him against the apron, then CLUBS Edge as he lets off! Dynamite returns to single picture just as Callis says this is closer to a mauling than a match. Brody then CHOPS Edge!
Edge staggers away, Brody storms up after him, and Brody CHOPS him again! Brody has Edge take a seat, then he hoots and barks as he goes to the other end. Brody runs back in, but Edge moves and Brody CROSSBODIESÂ into railing! The fans fire up while Brody falls and writhes! Edge sits up and he grabs the chair. Edge uses the chair to help him stand, and then he aims to SMACK Brody on the back! The fans cheer, and Edge SMACKS Brody again! And SMACKS him again! The fans fire up and chant, “One More Time! One More Time!” Edge SMACKS Brody as to oblige! Edge then puts that chair in the ring before he brings Brody around.
Edge ROCKS Brody, puts him on the apron, and then brings him up. The fans fire up as Edge goes to fireman’s carry! Brody ELBOWS Edge, reels him in, but Edge fights the lift! Brody still tries, but Edge powers out to CLAW Brody’s face! Brody swings, Edge ducks and then kicks low! IMPALERÂ on the chair!! Both men fall to the floor and the fans are thunderous! Edge is a bit dizzy but he still has a wild look in his eyes. Edge shakes it off, rises up, and the fans fire up as he goes back for Brody. The fans still want tables, but Edge sits Brody up. Brody is busted open something fierce, and Edge punches right on that bloody forehead! But Brody just smiles?!
Edge throws down more hands, but Brody SPITS at him! Edge SLAPS Brody, then puts him in the ring! Edge hobbles over to a corner, gets up top, and Brody stands, into the CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Brody is still in this but Edge doesn’t lose focus. The fans also still want tables, so Edge goes back outside. Edge grabs one more chair, brings that in, and he busts off the crossbar! He wedges the rest of the chair into a corner, then picks up that bar! But Brody DISCUS LARIATS first!! Brody’s head is pouring blood and it paints the canvas, but Brody still stands to RAM Edge into his own chair! Brody snarls through his crimson mask as Dynamite goes back to picture in picture!
Brody roars, runs in, but Edge clips his legs! Edge has the CROSSFACE!! Brody endures, fights around, reaches out, but No DQ means no ropebreaks, too! So Brody goes for the crossbar! Edge grabs it first, and puts it in Brody’s mouth!! Brody endures the Toronto dental work! Edge pulls way back on that bar, but Brody refuses to give up! Brody gets his arm free, fights around, has the ropes, and drags Edge into them to scrape him off the hold! Both men are down, catching their breath, but Edge rises up. Edge goes out the other end, and he brings out that table! Brody did show him where it is, after all.
Edge brings that table around to the ramp side and sets it up. Edge then goes back for Brody at the corner, and climbs up! Edge drags Brody up, and is taking aim at the table! Brody fires body shots, but Edge SMACKS Brody off the buckle! Brody ROCKS Edge, then HOTSHOTS him against the corner crossbar! Edge flops to the floor and Brody storms his way over. Brody drags Edge up, puts him in the ring, but then drags him up by the ropes. Brody takes aim at the table now! Edge fights the suplex, throws body shots, then ROCKS Brody! Brody wobbles, Edge ROCKS him again! Dynamite returns to single picture as Edge throws more forearms!
Brody clings to the rope, ducks the next shot, and has a SLEEPER! Brody’s used this exact set-up to win big before, and he drags Edge up for a HANGING SLEEPER! Only for Edge to THROW him off the top! Edge runs up, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Neither man falls, DOUBLE LARIATS collide again! Then DOUBLE BOOTS bring both men down! The fans are thunderous again, “This is Awesome!” as both men rise. Brody throws a forearm, Edge throws one back, and they keep going as they both stand. The fans are behind Edge and he gets the edge, until Brody ROLLING ELBOWS! But Edge fireman’s carries!? Only to fall under Brody’s weight! Cover, TWO!!
Even with the crimson mask, we can see Brody is frustrated. Brody puts Edge in a corner, hoots as he goes corner to corner, then runs in to CANNONBALL! Cover, TWO!! Edge survives and even Callis is surprised! Brody grows further frustrated, and he storms around to get Edge up. Brody reels him in, Canadian Racks, but Edge fights free! EDGE-O-MATIC! Both men are down and floundering! The fans still want that table to be a factor, and Edge has a wild look in his eyes. Edge goes to a corner, takes aim at Brody, and he runs in to- NO, Brody stuffs the spear! PILEDRIVER!! Edge flounders away to the outside, but Brody pursues!
Both men are on the apron again, but Edge still tries to fireman’s carry!?! APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds! Edge drags himself into the ring, Brody drags himself up with the ropes. Edge builds speed to SPEAR Brody off the apron and down through the table!!! The fans are thunderous and losing their minds all over again! Edge gets out of the wreckage, crawls around the way, and then Brody drags himself up again. Both men get in the ring, Edge runs in to SPEAR!!! Cover, Edge wins!!
Winner: Adam “Edge” Copeland, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Another hellacious battle with The House of Black and Adam Copeland comes out on top! But wait, Brody CLOBBERS him!! Brody is a sore loser as he rains down fists! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but here comes Kyle O’Reilly! Kyle runs in to fire off fast hands on Brody! Brody shoves Kyle back, but Kyle dodges to fire off more strikes! Edge gets up to add on! The Canadian connection double clotheslines Brody up and out! The fans fire up as Edge and #CombatKyle stand tall together! Will The House of Black have to rethink their game plan now that Edge isn’t alone?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Arkady is ow with The CEO and notes we are just weeks away from her match at Double or Nothing. AEW goes back to Las Vegas, the very place it all began five years ago. So it is fitting that it will be where Mone has her first ever AEW match. IS she ready to face Willow Nightingale? Mone says we are just 18 days away from her in-ring return. And she has to say, she is so excited! She is so close to making her return to the sport that she loves so very, very much. And here in AEW, this is where the best wrestle! Mone thrives in that spotlight, she thrives under pressure, and she is only getting started.
Tomorrow, Mone will be courtside for the Boston Celtics’ playoff game. Then Saturday, she will be throwing out the first pitch for the Red Sox. And when she’s not promoting AEW, she is in the ring, in that gym, every single day. So to answer the question: YES! She is ready for Willow at Double or Nothing. But as far as Willow goes, she took something from Mone that she will never get back, and that is time. She lost a year of her career, and all she could think of were these haunting questions of, “Why? Why did this happen to me?” She wondered if she’d ever return to the ring. And if she did, would she still be as good as she used to be?
Mone says DAMN RIGHT she will! She’s on a whole new level! She is back with a vengeance, because she is that b*tch. Willow got her great run because of Mone. But Mone will show Willow why there’s the asterisk over that victory. At Double or Nothing, Mone is going to take more than just Willow’s title, she will wipe that stupid smile off her face! So enjoy your time as champ, Willow. Because in Vegas, Mone changes everything. The CEO is ready, but will she be able to cash that massive receipt she’s been holding onto?
Backstage interview with Edge and Kyle O’Reilly.
Lexy is with The Rated R Superstar and #CombatKyle to congratulate Edge on his win against Brody King. Then we saw Kyle come to the rescue. How does it feel to find an ally in this battle with The House of Black? Edge says it’s a relief. He thanks Kyle for that, Brody is one bad dude. Kyle says he knows Edge went through Hell just now, and is glad to help out against The House, but he also has a favor to ask. Collision returns this Saturday, and they’re in Kyle’s hometown. The Cope Open still open? Edge asks if that’s the only reason Kyle helped out there, to get closer to the TNT title. Well, if so, well played.
So yeah, Vancouver, Collision, Cope Open for the TNT Championship, Kyle’s on. They shake on it, and Edge says may the best man win. Will Edge be able to win twice in one week? Or is Kyle showing that he can be the new ultimate opportunist?
The Elite walk out on stage.
Nicholas has a mic to say, “Hey, how’s it going, huh? We know the main event just happened, but guess what? This show doesn’t end until WE say it’s over!” Matthew says it’s fine, he just buzzed the network, they’re getting a bit of an overrun, because The Elite have an important message. Nick says first thing on the agenda tonight, in this terrible country of Canada (fans boo), is Mr. Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada! He has a note for Kenny Omega. Okada takes the mic to say, “Hey, Kenny! The Best Bout Machine says… Get well soon. MWAH!”
Matt says that’s right. And speaking of unwell people, we all know Tony Khan is watching at home in Jacksonville! Matt just wants to say, TK is the best boss they could ever work for, and they hope he feels better soon, too. Matt just wishes TK got out of his own way and realized that The Bucks were never here to hurt AEW. They were here to make AEW a better place! So what’d TK do? He got in their way and left them with no choice but to give Tony Khan a Tony Khan Driver. And as for Kenny Omega, he is the one who decided to end their 15 year long friendship! So what’d they have to do? They had to give an EVP an EVP Trigger!
Nick chuckles, and tells Kenny that the only reason why FTR saved him is not because they like him. It’s that they hate The Bucks! FTR, guess what?! Anarchy in the Arena, is that what you want!? Then Anarchy in the Arena is what you’re gonna get! The fans do like that. Nick wishes them luck in finding two men with big enough balls to face The Elite! They run this show! But wait, here comes FTR! Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler step on stage as the fans cheer, and Dax has the mic to say, “So I knew going into this fight, it wasn’t gonna be easy finding a couple of guys who’d stand with us and fight The EVPs of this company.
“But after a little bit of convincing, those big balls you’re talking about? I think we found a couple of guys who got big enough balls for the job.” EDDIE KINGSTON is one, and the other? BRYAN DANIELSON!?! The American Dragon is back, the fans all chant “YES! YES! YES!” and Team AEW storms down to the ring! The Elite want them all to settle down, and Matt says to not even think about laying one finger on them! But then Eddie fires the first shot! The brawl is on, the fans are thunderous, and while Eddie has Matt, Cash has Nick, Dax has Jack and Bryan has Okada! The refs and security rush out but this is already anarchy in this arena!
Edmonton wants to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but nothing is going to stop these eight when AEW returns to Las Vegas! Who wins out when these teams go Double or Nothing for the whole enchilada?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite, though it also had the familiar feel of a lot more stuff stuffed in than it probably needed. At first, I felt Mone could’ve probably waited to respond to Willow on Collision, but then surprise, she revealed she’s busy this Saturday so she wouldn’t be able to. Willow and Mone both had good promos, but sadly, it’s just been the same details again and again about the accidental injury in their NJPW Strong Women’s Championship match and all that, but it’s still hard to say who wins out.
Serena Deeb’s promo was good but she might need to work on hooking the fans faster, they were starting to go into business for themselves. But when Storm showed up, things picked up, and Deeb knocking Storm out was great. It also helped the story of Mariah & Mina along, as Mariah was all alone against The Outcasts. Good win for Mariah, good save for Mina, #RoseGold VS Outcasts at Double Or Nothing to help that story along more probably? And then, whether Storm retains or not, she and Mina can fight over Mariah.
Great match from Cassidy VS Trent, and Callis being on commentary added to the storytelling element. Great win for Cassidy, but of course Trent was going to be a sore loser. I still find it odd Callis is recruiting Cassidy, but I suppose it can’t be “all about #JustTrent” if Trent joins another faction. And I wonder if this is a pivot for the Don Callis Family story since Will Hobbs is hurt from that IWGP World title match a couple weeks ago. Ospreay and Cassidy have been rivals before, but I still just cannot picture Cassidy as a Heel. It’s even harder to picture Callis going Face if he’s to pal around with Cassidy.
Good promo from Rocky with Cassidy ahead of Rocky’s match with White, but it kinda goes against what he said last week where he’s washing his hands of the whole issue. Feels like they just needed someone to lose to White and couldn’t get someone on an equal skill level of Rocky. Bang Bang Gang still had a good promo with Pac, though, but I wonder if Pac and Cassidy become unlikely allies in a trio. Pac did imply he was letting Lucha Bros focus on Lucha Bros, no more Death Triangle, but who knows. It’d also be nice to get a team like Lance Archer & The Righteous going since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH. Maybe if TK didn’t drop the ball with The Dark Order’s revitalization, they could be contenders, too.
Fun squash win for Jericho & Bill, and good promo from Jericho that also set up the news that Hook is coming back. I feel like we could even get a tag match of Jericho & Bill VS Hook & Shibata before we get Jericho VS Hook in a rematch, probably at Double or Nothing because just like Dynasty, they’ll just shove stuff into it. Great promo segment from Swerve with Christian Cage, and while I figured The Embassy would back Swerve up, I also had a strong sense something was going to change. The Embassy stayed Heel despite Swerve making the slow turn to Face, so this revolt was inevitable. Swerve is all alone now, outside of Prince Nana, but all the more reason he’s going to rise up and retain at Double or Nothing.
Awesome match with Edge and Brody King, but AEW needs to be really careful with this blading bleeding stuff, Brody’s face was covered in his blood almost immediately. Good promo from Malakai, and Edge won of course because Malakai and Edge are going to face off at Double or Nothing. I do appreciate that Kyle is getting a match for Vancouver, as he promised everyone would happen the last time we saw him. And even if Kyle’s gonna lose, he’ll give Edge an awesome match.
And speaking of, naturally we’re bringing Anarchy in the Arena back. Kenny Omega might have just done the impossible, he got Eddie and Bryan truly on the same page. Those two teamed up in one of these matches before, but they were still on unfriendly terms and couldn’t just beat up on Jericho together. Now that it’s The Young Bucks, Jack Perry & Okada, and after they finally had it out more recently, Eddie and Bryan are definitely going to work together so that they and FTR can win. From there, we should see FTR VS Bucks Round 5 set up for no later than All In London 2024, ultimate tiebreaker right there.
And y’know what? Forbidden Door is in June, so let’s get Bryan VS Okada for the Continental Championship, and then Eddie VS Jack for the NJPW Strong Openweight title, as these stories have all crossed back and forth between AEW and NJPW. Fans of both AEW and NJPW between both American and Japan will want to see Bryan VS Okada one more time, and then The Scapegoat can bring The House of Torture into things because of his NJPW connections. Continuity, folks! It matters!

Stokely Hathaway, FTR & #ProtoShita speak.
#BigStoke says after what happened on Wednesday was a complete and utter embarrassment, and they all vowed to never let it happen again. Now that Cash Wheeler is back, FTR is complete, and they have #ProtoShita with them! Tonight, they will win! Stokely clearly has confidence enough for all five of them, but will it really go their way? Or will Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Daniel Garcia & Bandido make sure tonight happens just like it did in Mexico City?
Jon Moxley w/ Wheeler Yuta VS AR Fox!
The Maniac feels the walls closing in as we move closer to All In, but an animal is only more dangerous once it is cornered. Will Moxley ruin the Whole Fox’n Show? Or can Fox take down Mox?
The bell rings and Fox DROPKICKS Mox! Fox fires off on Mox in the corner, the ref counts, and Mox shoves Fox away. Fox comes back to LARIAT but Mox stays up. The fans rally for Fox and he LARIATS, but then Mox takes a swing! Fox goes matrix and comes back to ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up and Fox runs in at the corner, A-LIST LARIAT! Fox shoves Moxley to then climb up the corner, FLYING- FOREARM from Moxley! Mox’s antiair takes Fox down and the fans boo. Moxley drags Fox up for an X-PLEX! Fox writhes, Moxley stomps him, and then Moxley brings Fox to the ropes. Moxley puts Fox through the ropes to bend him!
The ref counts, Moxley CLUBS Fox down, and then Moxley storms out after Fox. The fans rally for Fox but Mox CHOPS! Fox hits back, Moxley hits again, and repeat! the fans rally but Moxley BITES Fox on the face! The fans boo but Moxley DECKS Fox! Moxley talks trash, drags Fox up, and he puts Fox in the ring. Fox KICKS Moxley in the ropes! Then DRAPING DDT! The fans fire up and Mox flops back. Fox runs to BLACK HOLE STOMP! The fans fire up while Moxley falls to the floor! Fox goes up the corner to MOONSAULT ATTACK! Seattle is loving this as Fox puts Moxley back in the ring.
Fox shouts at Yuta to move, then Fox climbs. But then Yuta trips Fox up, all behind the ref’s back! Moxley climbs up and he CLAWS Fox’s back! The fans boo and the ref counts, but Moxley TWISTS Fox’s ear, then BITES it! The fans boo more, the ref reprimands again, but Moxley has a KATAGATAME up top! Moxley then hits a SUPERPLEX! Cover, TWO! But now to the CROSSFACE! The fans rally as Fox endures, but Moxley twists him around and thrashes the hold! Then he rolls to have Fox in an INVERTED RINGS OF SATURN! Fox fights around, ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, the fans cheer, and Moxley lets go at 4.
Moxley glares at the ref, then goes back for Fox. Moxley KICKS! Fox frowns at him and eggs him on! The fans fire up as Moxley KICKS, but Fox still eggs him on! Moxley BOOTS, runs, and KICKS, but Fox blocks! The fans fire up and Fox says F Mox! But Mox KICKS back! Fox PELES and Moxley falls out! The fans fire up and Fox FLIES! Down goes Moxley! Fox puts Moxley in, he BOOTS Yuta for getting too close, then he SUPERKICKS! BUZZSAWS! But Moxley ducks the heel kick, only to get a BASEMENT CUTTER! Fox fire sup, runs and BOOTS Moxley! Then snapmare roll and CUTTER! Moxley staggers up, but he LARIATS Fox down!
The fans boo but Moxley drags Fox back up. GOTCH HOLD PILEDRIVER! Moxley then rains down forearms on Fox’s head! Fox can’t guard anymore, and Moxley puts on the REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Fox is OUT, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission
The fans boo, especially as Moxley doesn’t stop! Moxley lets go, but they’re still not done as he and Yuta mug Fox! The fans boo but Moxley gets a mic to call out Hangman Page. This guy, this cowboy, Moxley has been watching him piss away his opportunities for years! Moxley’s been watching Hangman piss away his God-given gifts for years! And Moxley doesn’t have the same patience as the fans do for their cowboy! Moxley is sick of waiting for Hangman to get his act together. Moxley is sick of this crybaby cowboy’s crap! The fans boo more, but Moxley says this is a tough sport and a tough business. So on July 12th at All In, Moxley will run the Hangman outta this sport for good!
The fans boo even more, but Moxley tells Hangman he can just go back to counting chickens or whatever it is he does, because this business is NOT for him! The Maniac has given his warning, but is it all bluster knowing Hangman isn’t around? Or will nothing and no one stop the reign of terror?

Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay speak.
Tay Melo tells Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford that they know what happened last time. Tonight is round two! And Anna adds that there are so many more ways they wanna hurt them. The One True African Queen says Thekla may have won, but she knows she got hit hard, huh? She ain’t seen nothing yet! And La Mera Mera reminds Athena that she’s coming for that ROH Women’s World Championship. Tonight, she takes Athena’s head!
Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Fallen Goddess thanks the Toxic Spider, Megasus & Superbad Girl for accepting the invitation. But even then, Athena still doesn’t like crazy spider lady, still doesn’t like Ford, and is still bigger and badder than Megan. But tonight, it’s ATHENA Elite Wrestling! So let’s get it together, girls, so Athena can have her moment. And if they do, they can be her Minions. Ford keeps Megan from storming up on Athena, but can these war goddesses hold it together to be victorious?
AEW shares footage from after Grand Slam: Mexico.
Renee Paquette was with the NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion, Mercedes Mone, and says what a huge night. Another history making moment as she is now #SixBeltsMone! Mone says damn straight! Unfortunately, not everyone was in the mood for celebrating… Toni Storm rained on her parade a bit. Mone tells Toni, “You think you’re gonna play mind games with me? Well, I am the master of any game! So bring it! Tonight’s win was just a preview for what’s to come at All In: Texas. Toni, you call yourself ‘Timeless?’ Well, I’m iconic! I’m Six Belts Mone! The Conversation, the Blueprint, The C E O!”
And the Money Train is on a roll! Toni’s time is ticking, and it is almost up. See you in Texas, b*tch! Mone rolls on, but will she have lucky number seven? Or will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one prize she doesn’t get to have?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Shane Taylor w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!
The Realest may have a house, but Big Bad Shaney T. Boy has an entire promotion! And while this is Swerve’s homecoming to Washington, will he have homefield advantage? Or will Shane show him how to rumble, bad man, rumble?
The bell rings and the two circle. Shane swings, Swerve dodges to waistlock, but then Swerve avoids the elbow. Shane stops the Eddy Gordo Rana, brings Swerve up to back suplex, but Swerve lands out. Shane blocks a boot, Swerve reels him in and sunset flips, but Shane stays up! Swerve avoids the fist drop to SHOVE Shane out of the ring! Swerve builds speed, but then just hits the Griddy! The fans cheer, STP is upset, and Bravo says he’s got money riding on this. Shane storms into the ring to circle with Swerve. Swerve bobs ‘n’ weaves to avoid the shots, but Shane stops the wrench. Shane blocks the whip, too, but then Swerve BOOTS him!
The fans cheer, Swerve eggs Shane on, and the two reset. They feel things out, Shane fires hands, and wait, Nana is gambling with the Infantry? Shane DECKS Swerve, his odds might’ve just gone up! Shane drags Swerve up on the apron and Bravo wants Tony Schiavone to get in on this? Shane lifts Swerve, Swerve fights free, and he slips under! The Infantry freaks out as Swerve pulls on Shane, but Shane grabs Swerve to SLAM him off the apron! Then he APRON SPLASHES! The fans boo while Swerve falls, and Shane claims it’s HIS house now! The fans boo more while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Infantry mockingly offer Swerve some money, but Shane drags Swerve up to HEADBUTT him! Shane puts Swerve in the ring, tells Nana he’s about to lose more money on this, and then goes into the ring. Shane clamps onto Swerve with a chinlock and he grinds Swerve down. Swerve endures and Nana rallies the fans. Swerve fights up, fires body shots, then he KNEES Shane low! Shane ROCKS Swerve with a left! Then SAIDOS! Swerve staggers over to ropes, Shane storms up on him, and Shane CHOKES Swerve by standing on him! The ref counts, Shane backs off, and Swerve goes to the corner. Shane storms up to Swerve again while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Shane has Swerve in a corner to talk trash, then he runs up, only for Swerve to dodge! Swerve then wraps Shane’s arm around ropes, CLUBS away on the shoulder, and runs side to side for a DROPKICK to the arm! The fans fire up and Swerve dropkicks the legs out! Swerve drops a KNEE on the arm, then runs to KNEE Shane down! Cover, TWO! Shane is tougher than that but Swerve stays focused. Nana says it’s over for STP now! Swerve KICKS the bad arm, and the fans cheer for “DEFY! DEFY!” Swerve runs up, Shane shoves him to the corner but Swerve comes back, only for Shane to HEADBUTT!
Shane URENAGES Swerve down, but that was the bad arm! Shane runs, SPLASHES DOWNÂ into an armbar! Swerve has Shane caught and he even HAMMERS Shane’s head! Shane endures, fights back up, and he powers out! Shane KNEES Swerve down! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives and Shane grows frustrated. Swerve goes to a corner, Shane says time to bet it all! Shane goes up the corner, the fans fire up, and Swerve ROCKS Shane first! Swerve throws more hands, then he goes up to get Shane for a SUPER DUPER BACK SUPLEX! The fans are thunderous and Swerve is feeling it! Shane flounders to the apron, but Swerve fires hands!
The fans rally, Swerve runs and returns, but into Shane’s grip! Swerve KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! Shane drapes over the ropes and Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, takes aim, APRON KILL STOMPS!! The fans are thunderous again and Swerve steps inside. But the Infantry gets all up in Nana’s face! Swerve FLIES out onto the Infantry! And then a HOUSE CALL for Shane!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Swerve finally has his 50th singles win here in AEW, and Nana rakes in the dough! Having green is nice, but will Swerve find himself aimed at gold again?
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing… Timeless Toni Storm.
Seattle cheers as Toni Noir stands on stage. “Mercedes Mone…” The fans boo that name. “I am disappointed in you. Three weeks ago, you shook my hand and said we would have the biggest women’s match of all time. And since then, you have been eating steak, playing on your telephone, and trying to kiss me. And now, you are still in Mexico because you have won yet another title.” The fans boo that, too. “Is that all I am to you? Is that all this is to you? Another trophy for your shelf? Another toy for your collection? Now, I want to say this as nicely as possible. Mercedes, I am not some other mother-effer.
“I am TIMELESS Toni Storm! I am the AEW Women’s World Champion! And if you make one false move, I am going to eat you alive!” The fans cheer that! “I demand your best, Mercedes, because that is what you are. One day, my reign will be over.” The fans don’t like the sound of that, but Toni says there is no one more deserving than Mone. “The day I met you, I knew what you were destined to be. You were the first woman to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome, Wembley Stadium AND Arena Mexico… But I was the last woman to wrestle at the Wodonga Sports & Leisure Center before it got closed down for a cockroach infestation.”
The fans cheer that last part, and Toni says she sincerely believes that Mone is the greatest of all time. Toni is not, nor was she ever meant to be. For she is a “manic, neurotic, erotic, sexually questionable, consistently sweating, bottom heavy, transatlantic whore!” The fans still cheer for her, and Toni says when this belt is upon her bosom, she makes magic happen! So unless Mone plans on pulling a rabbit out of her ass, Toni highly doubts Mone can say the same! At All In, in front of the entire world, and all those little girls watching at home, Mone will look Toni in the eye, and she will realize that Toni only has to beat Mone while Mone will have to KILL Toni!
The fans cheer Toni as the spotlight fades out to black. Will All In: Texas be yet another instant classic in Toni’s already timeless career?
Mixed Six Tag: Holo.grm, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale VS #MXMTV!
Undefeated at 25-0 and now 4 million Pesos richer, the futuristic luchador now conglomerates with the Sussex County Chicken and the Babe with the Power!

The trios sort out and it is ladies first as Willow circles with Taya. They tie up, Taya waistlocks and shoves, then she soaks up the heat while she struts. Willow kicks Taya in the butt!

Mason drags Hologram up, puts him back in the ring, and Johnny TV taunts Briscoe & Willow. Mason drags Hologram back out so he can CLUB him down. The ref reprimands, Mason drags Hologram back up and SMACKS him off the apron. And then throws him into railing! Taya soaks up the heat while she vogues, and Mason refreshes the ring count. That just lets Mr. & Mrs. TV stomp away on Hologram! They stop as Mason goes back out to fetch Hologram. Willow & Briscoe back the rest of them off while Hologram is in the ring. Mansoor tags in, he whips for Mason to scoop, and they CAT WALK LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!
Mansoor keeps Hologram down with a Camel Clutch, but Hologram endures. Mansoor stomps away on Hologram into the corner, but stops as the ref counts. Mason gets a cheap shot in while Mansoor argues with the ref! Johnny does, too! Mansoor drags Hologram to an ELBOW DROP, then covers, TWO! Mansoor drags Hologram over, tags Mason, and Mansoor holds Hologram down for Mason to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mason drags Hologram back up, throat chops him, then tags Taya.

Winners: Hologram, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
New amigos but still undefeated, Hologram is feeling what it’s like to conglomerate! Will nothing stop them from building momentum towards title opportunities?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and brings up the big win for Willow’s team. Kris asks if they’re really doing this. Every single week! Yes, everyone loves Willow. But when is Kris going to get a chance? In the All-Star 8 Woman Tag? Uh, uh, didn’t think so. So if you think she’s going to stand here and talk about how important everyone else is, you’re dead wrong! But then Yuta walks over and says he hates to say he told her so… Kris tells Yuta to shut his grimy little mouth! She knows who he is and what this is! If he thinks she wants any part of this, get out of her face! Yuta tries to talk her down but Kris SHOVES him down! And then Moxley steps in.
Moxley picks up Kris’ phone for her, but tells her to never, ever, let anyone else tell you who you are or what you’re worth. Moxley hands Kris her phone, and Kris is rather shaken. But did Moxley just encourage someone? And will Kris Statlander follow his advice to go out and take what she deserves?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone asks Seattle to please welcome… Don Callis. The fans boo as The Jackal walks out here, accompanied by Josh Alexander & Lance Archer. They join Schiavone in the ring and Callis stops Schiavone already. He has a very special announcement! He would like to introduce to us the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan! Better than Rikidozan, than Inoki, than Muta, than Tanahashi… the NEWEST member of the Don Callis Family, the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada! The fans boo even more as the Continental Champion makes his way out to the ring. Okada shakes hands with Callis, and Callis interrupts Schiavone again.
Callis says that he and Okada would like to show everyone some very special footage. Roll the tape! The tape is of course the last time we saw these two, and the horrible trap they had set for Kenny Omega. Schiavone says that was one of the most despicable things in wrestling history! Callis says you can almost smell the diverticulitis coming outta Omega’s mouth! Schiavone says how dare Callis laugh at someone coughing up blood! What is wrong with him!? Callis says he is sick and tired of Schiavone coming out here and talking bad about him and Okada and the Callis Family, “like the sleezy feline that you are!”
But Callis and his family are here to talk about Kenny Omega! “Kenny, how does it feel to know that your greatest opponent, Okada, and the man who knows all your weaknesses, Don Callis, have teamed up against you?! I know, Kenny, you’re laying in a hospital bed right now…” The fans tell Callis to STFU but Callis just talks louder. Omega surely has tubes coming outta his guts, with a colostomy bag hanging out the side! Omega won’t even make it to All In! But IF Omega does make it there, and wrestles the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan, then Omega needs to know that he will truly be alone.
Omega destroyed his friendship with the Young Bucks, with Callis, and is alone in this world with not even one friend left! But then out steps Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as The Chicken tells Callis, “My Lord, would you PLEASE shut the hell up!? You sound stupid, you weird lookin’ bastard! You say Kenny has no friends? Well sheesh, I’ll be damned, I’m his friend! But y’know what? I’m not his only friend.” Because KOTA IBUSHI IS HERE! The fans go nuts seeing the Golden Star return to AEW! Archer rushes them, but Briscoe attacks first! That lets Ibushi strut right up to the Walking Weapon in the ring!
The fans fire up as Ibushi dodges Alexander, then fires off a strike fest! Alexander ducks a kick, Ibushi ducks the rolling elbow, and Ibushi ROUNDHOUSES Alexander down! The fans fire up while Callis freaks out, but now Ibushi and Okada are alone in the ring. The fans go nuts already as Golden Star and Rainmaker stare down. Okada fires a forearm, but Ibushi fires back! Okada UPPERCUTS, but Ibushi fires off a strike fest! SOBAT and ROUNDHOUSE! Okada falls and he scurries out of the ring! Callis is there, and he gets his new moneymaker outta there! Will Ibushi make sure Omega gets a fair shake in Texas?
Collision returns to a brawl!
Apparently, the Workhorsemen got into it with Big Bill & Bryan Keith in the back, and now it has spilled out to ringside! JD Drake & Anthony Henry have the advantage as they use chairs on the Redwood & Bad Apple! Henry sits Keith in a corner of the railing, then runs around the way! But Bill BOOTS him down! The fans are fired up, but then Drake CLUBS Bill! But Keith SMACKS Drake with a chair! Keith shouts for Bill to get ’em! Bill stands Drake up, SMACKS him off steel steps, then Keith SMACKS Drake off steps! And repeat! Keith stomps Henry, SMACKS Drake off steps, and then Bill SMACKS Drake off steps!
Henry shields Drake but that just gets him a CLUBBING forearm! Keith sets chairs up together, Bill SMACKS Henry off steps, and Keith has Bill haul Henry up. Bill gives Henry a SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMÂ onto the chairs!! Henry falls in a heap with all that steel, and Bill wants a mic! Wait, now Christian Cage wants to be out here? The fans are fired up either way as Captain Charisma leads The Patriarchy out here. “Seattle… Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business!” The fans boo instead. Christian says they know it and he knows it. The only good things to ever come outta Washington are Mother Shayna and Nick Wayne! So again, show some damn respect!
The fans boo more, and Christian tells Bill & Keith that Christian likes a good backstage brawl as much as the next guy. But when it spills out to ringside and takes away from his air time, then he has a problem. Especially when he was coming out here to make a huge announcement. But hey, maybe they should stand there and listen with the rest of these “sweat hogs,” because this is a pretty damn good announcement. Now, it is no secret that these past couple months, his son, Nick Wayne, has been wrestling at a godlike pace! The fans cheer for Nick, but Christian tells them to shut their mouths while he’s talking!
But believe him when he tells you, that has everything to do with Christian’s guidance. Yet, there are still those who have the audacity to mistake friction for building toughness. But the proof speaks for itself! Nick stands here as the youngest champion this company has ever seen! So why stop there? Why not keep going? Why not make more history? Time for Christian’s son to walk beside him instead of behind him! Time he and Nick embark on a journey that takes them to the top! That sees them become the first-ever father-and-son AEW World Tag Team Champions! The fans are torn on that, but Nick smiles as Christian pats him on the shoulder.
Bill says, “Sorry, did you say that that is your son? Maybe your adopted son. Because if all the things that I’ve heard about Mama Wayne are true… That kid’s real father could be literally anybody. It could be that guy right there! Or what about that guy right there? Oh, oh, wait a second, dead ringer! Dead ringer! Oh my God, that could be your father right there! There he is!” The fans cheer but Bill says if they don’t like what he is saying, then how about Christian come down to the ring to do this right here. Christian says first of all, there is nothing of the sort happening here in Seattle. The fans boo and he asks if they wanna see it.
Well, here’s a question, Big Bill. Is that you talking or is that the bottle talking? Did he fall off the wagon this weekend? Go on a bit of a bender? Maybe he fried too many braincells because he clearly doesn’t know who he’s talking to. Bill doesn’t call the shots, Christian does! He is the Patriarch and this is his Patriarchy! He IS the Face of TNT now and forever! The fans boo but The Patriarchy steps away. Will Bill & Keith take them down all the same?
AEW shares footage from after Summer Blockbuster.
Anthony Bowens was in a bad mood but Billy Gunn wanted to talk things out. Lexy Nair caught up with them first and Billy has “Brittney Spears” hold on. In Lexy’s defense, that outfit really is classic Brittney. But anyway, Daddy Ass tells Bowens it will be a struggle. Bowens says Billy is supposed to be helping him get better. Does he want Bowens to end up like Max Caster? Billy says he got hit in the face by Lance Archer! Well, that’s not on Bowens. They need to get their act together, because Bowens is the Pride of Pro-Wrestling, he needs to climb the ladder in AEW, and he needs to win. Billy says he knows that. What can Daddy Ass do to help Bowens finally hit some homeruns?
Ricochet is here!
The One & Only still wants to assemble a dream team that can help him achieve his dreams, but he rejected Blake Christian & Lee Johnson, the only guys who actually came to see him about it. Is he thinking of recruiting someone from this next match?
JetSpeed VS The Gates of Agony!
Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been plotting their own course to titles, namely the AEW World Tag Team Championships. They need to prove themselves to the Hurt Syndicate, can they do that here in Seattle? Or will Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona slam the gates shut on those flight plans?
The bell rings and Speedball starts against Kaun. The fans rally, Kaun rushes up but Bailey dodges. Bailey headlocks, Kaun powers up and out and he RUNS Bailey over! Bailey kips up, then dodges Kaun and hurdles over. Bailey drops down, DROPKICKS Kaun, but Liona tags in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Ricochet vents about losing out on the 4 million Pesos, he blames Lio Rush, and he crosses off CRU as candidates for his crew. Liona TOSSES Bailey to a corner, fires fast hands, but the ref counts. Liona steps on Bailey, steps off, and then drags Bailey up. Tag to Kaun and the Gates double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, but Bailey lands through!
Bailey dodges lariats and hot tags Knight! The fans fire up as Knight springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG Kaun! Liona runs up, Knight dodges, but Liona blocks the arm-drag! Liona YANKS Knight up but Knight DROPKICKS Liona out! The fans fire up with Knight, and he scoops Kaun to SLAM! But Liona grabs Knight by his hair! Knight PELES Liona, then says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASHÂ but onto knees! Kaun turns things around, Ricochet says that’s smart. Kaun whips Knight into railing, into the apron, and back into railing! Kaun then brings KNight all the way around to send into the LED barriers!
The fans boo but Ricochet applauds. Bailey aims at Kaun and PLANCHAS, but Liona BLASTS Bailey outta the air! Ricochet likes that even more! He applauds, Liona pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and the Gates go back to the ring while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Gates soak up heat, then Kaun puts Knight in the ring. Liona is there to CLOBBER Knight and cover, TWO! Liona drags Knight into a shoulder claw! Knight endures as Liona leans on him, then he fights up. Knight JAWBREAKERS free, then runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him back down! Liona drags Knight up, puts him in the corner and tags Kaun. The Gates double whip, then double hip toss into the DOUBLE SLAM! Kaun covers, TWO! Knight stays in this but Kaun stomps Knight around. Kaun then drags Knight up to put in a corner for more stomps. Kaun fires fast hands, then more stomps, but stops as the ref counts.
Kaun argues with the ref and that lets Liona get a cheap shot in! Kaun drags Knight up while Bailey protests, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Kaun has Knight up top. Knight fires hands in return but so does Kaun. Knight ROCKS Kaun, goes up, and he FLYING LARIATS! Down goes Kaun but both men are down, and the fans fire up! Kaun and Knight crawl, hot tag to Bailey! Bailey goes up top and he MISSILE DROPKICKS!

Winners: JetSpeed, by pinfall
Ricochet is beside himself, but Knight & Bailey have brought down former ROH World Tag Team & ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions! Is this more than enough to earn their shot at Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin? Will Ricochet have to look elsewhere for henchmen?
8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
We heard from both sides of this all-star main event, but now it is time to back up those words. Will La Mera Mera, the Queen, the Blackbelt and the Star of the Show prove theirs is the winning combination? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, the ROH Gatekeeper, the FOREVER ROH Women’s World Champion (all Athena’s nicknames) lead her team to victory?
The teams stare down, and then Athena throws the first punch! She brawls with Rosa, Thekla attacks Anna and Megan has Tay, leaving Aminata to stare down with Ford. The bell rings, Aminata and Ford start pushing, and then they start throwing forearms! Ford gets the edge, whips, but Aminata reverses. Ford wheelbarrows, victory rolls, but Aminata rolls through. Ford still runs up to DROPKICK Aminata against ropes! Ford fireman’s carries, but Aminata slips free to snapmare and wrap on the headscissors! CHOCOLATE KISSES~! But Megan stops that with a waistlock and SLAM! But TayJay DOUBLE SUPERKICK!
Thekla CLOBBERS Tay and throws her out! The brawl starts up again, and Athena meets Rosa on the apron! They fire forearms, Rosa fires the back suplex, but then Athena fights off one in return. Aminata ROCKS Athena, Ford BLASTS Rosa, and they stare down again. Ford and Aminata each dare the other to go up, so they go up! The others brawl in a cluster, Ford and Aminata are up on the very top! They both SUPER DUPER MOONSAULT! The fans fire up as everyone goes down, and Collision goes picture in picture!
Ford drags Aminata up to POST her! Megan makes her way into the ring, she has Aminata for a BEARHUG, then RAMS her into a corner! And RAMS and RAMS and RAMS again! The ref reprimands, Megan CHOPS Aminata, then Ford handsprings in for a BACK ELBOW! Ford goes side to side to tag Athena, and then Athena runs in and handspring FOREARMS! Athena whips Aminata to Megan for the BACKDROP! Athena then drags Aminata up to CLUB her down! Athena rains down fists, the ref backs her off, and Athena tells Posey to back off!

But then Rosa goes after Thekla! But then Ford joins in, and then so does Tay! Megan and Aminata also get in there, and now it is a 4v4 battle for control! They go back and forth, fighting off suplex again and again. Both sides get frustrated and break off, then Tay & Rosa DOUBLE SUPERKICK Thekla & Ford! Aminata and Anna end up in fireman’s carries, and then Megan and Athena add Rosa and Tay! DOUBLE SAMOAN DROP FALL AWAY SLAM COMBOS!!

Winners: Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, by pinfall
The Chef says, “You’re welcome.” The ROH Women’s World Television Champion is going to team with the ROH Women’s World Champion for ROH Global Wars: Mexico, was this just an appetizer for how that’s going to go? Will this win help Thekla, Megan & Ford also find their way to some golden opportunities?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, especially as a follow-up to Grand Slam: Mexico while also helping build Global Wars: Mexico. The All-Star 8 Woman was a great main event, but it sure got the short end of the stick when it came to time. I’m not sure if something went long, but it also feels like AEW relies too much on TNT giving them overrun. Red Velvet helping Athena win was a nice touch, given their tag match against Rosa and Persephone. That match happened in reality already but they gotta keep the kayfabe alive. Though, that’s going to be a busy Thursday with Collision being pushed off Saturday, again.
Great promos to hype up the All-Star 8 Man, and that was a great match, too. The Heels winning makes sense there, too, as Kyle needs momentum before he challenges Cole again, and it adds more heat onto FTR. The Outrunners going after FTR was a nice touch, because A) they’re amigos with Bandido and B) they were friends with FTR like Garcia, so now it is The Outrunners’ turn to settle things with Dax & Cash. Bill & Keith have a good brawl with the Workhorsemen, but I’m a little surprised that’s all we got from them before bringing out The Patriarchy. I almost thought Christian Cage was going to name Kip as his tag partner, but I feel like he wants it to be Nick so he can keep Nick close, and possibly leave him hanging at some point.
Great opening match from Moxley with Fox, but of course Moxley wins and then sends a message to Hangman. And it is definitely a case of “Mox Fears Hangman” for him to talk all tough when he knows Hangman isn’t in Seattle yet. Great match from Swerve VS Shane, especially with all the shenanigans going on ringside. Great win for Swerve, and I guess technically Nana, too. Very good promo from Bowens and Billy to show there is some tension between them now. It is mostly Bowens’ frustrations making him lash out, but I wonder if Bowens starts to distance himself from Billy to truly be a solo act now.
Great to see Ibushi back in AEW, and great tease of Ibushi VS Okada. I suspect Briscoe and Ibushi will team up against Alexander & Archer, and that can help lead to Omega’s return from the “devastating” attack to have some final math on the Omega VS Okada dream rematch. And if Ibushi sticks around, that brings in some intrigue on whether or not we get Golden Lovers back together. I could see either story happening, where Golden Lovers go for a Two Man Power Trip kind of run, getting gold together. But I could also see them being friendly rivals, competing over the same title(s), especially with the “Unified Championship” bringing Continental and International Championship “divisions” together.
Good promo from Mone and a great promo from Toni to hype up their match, but we’ve still got time before there’s any real go-home math. But I said it before so I’ll say it again: It’s called “All In,” so whatever belts Mone has by All In, Mone should go ALL IN with her belts against Toni. Now obviously Mone has no reason to, and Heels never want to “put up or shut up,” but if Toni goads her into putting her money where her mouth is, maybe Mone does it out of anger. And honestly, if Toni wins at All In, wouldn’t she then be owed a match for any number of Mone’s titles anyway? AEW makes good use of the rule that pinning a champ earns a title match, so just cut to the chase.
Very fun Mixed Six with Hologram joining Briscoe & Willow as perhaps the newest member of Conglomeration. But at some point, Hologram needs to win a title or his streak means nothing. Good promo from Kris after that match and how she shoved Yuta. Kris being afraid of Moxley at first was a nice touch, since we’ve seen Mox makes no qualms about hitting a woman wrestler (namely Willow) with a cutter. But then Moxley actually adds to Yuta’s recruitment attempts by being nice to Kris. It makes me wonder if Kris becomes a Death Rider, and maybe the Women’s Division becomes the group’s next phase. Honestly, if not for Mone collecting belts and what not, Marina should’ve gotten a title shot herself by now.
And a great tag match of JetSpeed VS Gates of Agony. I guess with nothing else for them, the Gates defaulted back to being Heels. Ricochet was good on commentary, and as I figured, his story of finding faction members is failing because his standards are too high and he as a personality is too sensitive to put grudges aside. CRU was the right choice to me but then he said no thanks cuz of that Pesos match. As for JetSpeed, they will certainly get that tag title match with Hurt Syndicate, but I feel like MJF will be why the Hurt Syndicate retains.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin!

Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.

But Dax attacks anyway! What a sore loser! But Arena Mexico doesn’t seem to care?! Junior and the other luchadores run Dax off, and Stokely says keep them back! Will things just have to end here? Or will both father and son get payback on FTR soon enough?
Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!
The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?
The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.
Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe! The fans are torn as Okada CLUBS away. Okada fires forearms, storms up to stomp Briscoe in the corner, and then ELBOWS him! The fans are torn but Okada brings Briscoe around for a BIG back suplex. But Briscoe lands out, and hits the Crane Stance! Okada takes a swing, Briscoe ducks, and Briscoe CHOPS!
Briscoe whips, Okada reverses, but Briscoe slides under the boot! Crane Stance! Crane feint, then the CRANE KICK! The fans fire up as Briscoe stands up in his Redneck Kung-Fu stance. Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.
Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.
Okada waits while Briscoe is down and out. A ring count starts, Briscoe stirs, but then Okada goes out to fetch Briscoe. Briscoe fires body shots but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Okada leaves Briscoe behind and the ring count starts again. Briscoe rises up, leans on commentary, and he tells Callis off before he goes to the ring at 6 of 10. Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low! Okada ELBOWS Briscoe, whips corner to corner, then runs in and ELBOWS Briscoe down! Okada paces while soaking up cheers and jeers.
Okada goes back to Briscoe and drags him up. Okada reels Briscoe in, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Briscoe is still in this and he rises up. Okada is on him with a chinlock and bends him back! Briscoe endures as Okada leans on the hold, and Briscoe fights around to stand back up. But Okada drags Briscoe back down! Briscoe still fights, Grand Slam returns to single picture, and the fans rally up. Briscoe rises again, fires body shots, then runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Okada hits a FLAPJACK!

The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game! Hangman storms out here, unintentionally saving Swerve, and he glares at Moxley. The fans fire up as Hangman throws off his jacket and rushes the ring! Moxley stands his ground, the two get face to face, and now go fist for fist! Yuta gets in but Hangman DECKS him!
Moxley kicks low! Moxley whips but Hangman goes to the apron! Moxley waits, Hangman slingshots, but then Moxley dodges! BUCKSHOT on Matt! Well, it did hit a Buck, and Nick asks wtf! Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
