PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He introduces “one of the greatest tag teams of all time,” FTR! Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood make their way out as the fans cheer, and Dax’s left hand is all taped up, the least of the battle scars from Anarchy in the Arena at Double or Nothing. Schiavone appreciates them coming out here. Anarchy in the Arena was something to behold, they can see all the cuts and bruises from that match. Thanks for coming out here. The fans cheer and FTR takes a moment to soak that in. Cash then says thanks to everyone here watching tonight or paid a ticket. But Cash is a little embarrassed after all that, knowing they lost, did not get the job done, and failed.
That is hard for FTR to admit, stand here and hold their heads high, but they will. They knew what they were facing, that Team AEW wasn’t 100% healthy on Sunday. Darby’s not here, Bryan’s not here, they all limped in Sunday and crawled out after. But Cash said that FTR would die for AEW! The fans cheer that! Cash isn’t sure if The Elite noticed, but FTR ain’t dead yet! Dax says that he can’t lie to us, he didn’t really want to come out here. Just the thought, the feeling, of letting this company down, these fans down, letting his teammates down, Dax can’t get away from that.
And the images of Darby dangling upside-down, Dax on the floor, helpless as Bryan was mugged. Those things are something Dax struggled with. Dax had to ask himself, with stitches in his head and this soft cast on his arm, “Is it even worth it anymore?” The fans boo that stinkin’ thinkin’, and Dax says he slapped himself, took a shot of tequila, and said damn right it’s worth it! If he has to crawl out here to the ring and breathe his last breath to fight for everyone in the back who gets paid by this company, that is what he’ll do. The fans cheer that! Dax says that brings them back around to The Elite.
Until Dax is six feet under, every minute of every day, The Elite will have to worry if FTR is there to make their lives hell. It might not be today, might not be next week, but one day, Bryan will be back, Darby will be back, and FTR will be 100%! And it will be the Summer of AEW and they will whip that ass! #TopGuysOut! The fans cheer, Dax The Ax & Cash Money Wheeler say it is only a matter of time! When and where will they go back after the corrupt EVPs?
AEW shares footage from after Double or Nothing.
Jack Perry, no longer on fire, snarled as he said, “What more could I POSSIBLY GIVE!?” He slumped down on the floor and Jack says people talk about blood, sweat and tears, like it’s special! Like it’s a sacrifice! That’s the bare minimum! Jack got set on fire in the name of saving AEW! When will everyone realize no one believes in the spirit of AEW more than him?! After this company turned on him, left him for dead…! But he continues to fight. He continues to sacrifice. And you can either hate him or come with him, but he will continue to shape the future of this company through blood, sweat and fire.

Kyle O’Reilly speaks.
“I’ve always prided myself on physical toughness. My goal is to go out on my shield every single time. Because there’s a product of me stepping into that ring, and it’s me having great matches. And tonight, I face arguably the greatest wrestler alive today, and I don’t plan on having ‘a great match.’ I plan on beating Will as efficiently and violently as possible. Cuz you’ve done it all, right? You’ve won every title you’ve competed for, you’ve beaten a who’s who of elite talent, but you haven’t beaten me! In fact, when we faced in the gauntlet several weeks ago, I’m one of the only men to kick out of the Hidden Blade.
“But I get it, Will. You’ve got bigger fish to fry, right? I mean, you’re the #1 contender to the AEW World Championship. So naturally you and everybody at home that has a TV is overlooking Kyle O’Reilly! But not anymore. I’m beating you tonight, Will, and I’m taking the International title. Because I refuse to leave Palm Springs empty handed.” #CombatKyle is ready to fight the Aerial Assassin, but will he survive the Aerial Assassin?

Mark Sterling speaks.
“If you asked AI to create the perfect professional wrestler, it wouldn’t even come close to you. (Josh Woods) National champion wrestler at the University of Central Florida, four-time SEC Champion, four-time All American, a ferocious in-ring style that makes your opponent second guess their career choices. And a mind only focused on what’s in front of him until it’s beaten into the ground. (Tony Nese) For the last 20 years, you have been one of the most consistent and proficient wrestling specimens for any company that’s willing to throw money at you and beg you to stay. And now, it’s time for them to beg for mercy.
“(Ariya Daivari) You have an unlimited amount of resources at your finger tips. Money, culture, knowledge. You wanted to excel at this business, so you got the best training, the best workouts. But the wisest man doesn’t think that he’s the best until he’s surrounded by the best. You can beat any man in this business. We are the Premier Athletes.”

Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
The Aerial Assassin survives #CombatKyle, but he needs Doc Sampson to check that arm. Kyle may not have won this title, but did he do some serious damage to the #1 contender? Even so, Ospreay shows Kyle respect and Kyle shows it back. They shake hands, will we see these two run it back some day soon?
Swerve Strickland speaks.
The Realest chuckles at first, and says “Congratulations, Will. Just when I think you can’t amaze me enough, you always seem to top it and do it again. Once at Double or Nothing, becoming the International Champion, and now this gauntlet. And an amazing showcase at becoming the new #1 contender for Swerve Strickland’s AEW World Championship. We’re gonna be doing this at Forbidden Door in Long Island by the end of June, and Forbidden Door’s a little bittersweet for your world champion. This will be the first time I’m actually on the main card. The year before, kickoff show, victorious. Year before that, also the kickoff show, also victorious.
“Meanwhile, I’m sitting back, watching the Billy Goat himself, Will Ospreay, steal the show. You’re so great, you’re so goated, you have yet to main event a PPV. Well, I have. About to be multiple times. Almost feels like we compliment each other very well. We need each other, Will.
“In regards to the world championship, I love how people think they can just walk around, go to the offices of Tony Khan and demand things, like an opportunity at me. Like I’m just so easily accessible. Roderick Strong, you are a hell of a competitor, you are aggressive as I’ve ever seen or been in the ring with. Just because you got rid of Lio Rush the way you did earlier tonight–yeah I watched, I’ve seen–doesn’t mean you can walk up and demand yourself an opportunity at this, no. You are no longer the gatekeeper of wrestling, you are no longer the bully that can just beat around young Swerve and push him around, do what you want, no.
“This a new day. I’m a beat dat ass now. I’m gonna give you what you want. Me, I’m a be the World Champion. After I get rid of Strong, come see me at Forbidden Door. Whose House? Swerve’s House.” The Realest has the last word tonight, but who stands tall to end Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, though with matches that were more filler than anything. All great matches because that’s AEW, “Where The Best Wrestle,” but I feel like we needed some stakes to make things matter. Garcia & Shibata make a great team, and this win helps Garcia head for the International Championship, but of course they won. I was more worried JD Drake got hurt tonight, just as he and Henry were back as a team again. Great tag match for STP VS WCWC but of course the AEW signed team beats the NJPW signed team on an AEW show. Claudio VS Johnny was really good, hopefully Claudio gets in on the TNT Championship scene.
Good squash win for Cage of Agony, and good promo turned attack from Luchasaurus with the Iron Savages. Maybe Luchasaurus gets in on the TNT Championship match, too. While the TNT Championship Ladder match is AEW improvising after Adam Copeland got hurt, they should really accelerate these qualifiers. Good match from Rosa VS Reina but of course Rosa was winning that. She does a good job of sneaking mini-promos in at the end of her matches, she and Deonna definitely need to settle this in like an Iron Woman, Last Woman Standing, or a Submission match so they can go hold for hold to determine a #1 contender.
Good promo from Storm and her crew to call out The Outcasts in return. I feel like The Outcasts will cheat so Saraya will win, but I’d also think a Forbidden Door challenger makes themselves known. For that matter, let’s really add on and make it Mina Shirakawa. She was showing up to reconnect with Mariah, they need to actually do something like that or Tony Khan really doesn’t know what he’s doing with the women’s division. Though same could be said for much of ROH, as he is again bringing over people he put there to develop stuff, before they’ve really developed much of anything. Yeah, “The Premier Athletes” know their gimmick now, but they’ve barely feuded with anyone on ROH TV, and they’re already coming back to AEW? Sigh…
Not sure if he knows what he’s doing with TV time either. Jack Perry’s promo from after Double or Nothing was good, but why wait until now to play it? Why not make it a cold open to Dynamite? Why not throw it on Rampage last night? FTR also had a very good promo tonight, but Dax still seems to reiterate the same points all the time now. I suppose FTR going away to rest up is a way to bide time until All In and the possible rematch from last year’s All In, letting other teams move up to challenge for the tag titles in the meantime. And with Jack Perry’s connection to House of Torture, can we get some of that for Forbidden Door? I really like the idea of Tony Khan and Hiroshi Tanahashi being Face authority clashing with The Bucks and Evil (who claims to be in charge) as the Heel authority.
But speaking of TK’s authority, Swerve’s promo at the end should really have been annoyed with TK for giving Strong a title match on a whim. Strong VS Lio was great, though of course The Kingdom help him cheat a win. Ospreay VS Kyle was an awesome main event, and I hope Ospreay having Doc Sampson check his arm was for story, we can’t have this story falling apart a month out. Swerve VS Strong will still be awesome, I’m sure Swerve wins even with The Kingdom around, and Swerve VS Ospreay will surely still be the plan. Garcia watching helps plug that he’ll challenge for the International Championship, I guess we’ll see if Ospreay loses that title before Forbidden Door.
My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with MXM Collection.
Alicia Atout is with Mansoor & Mason, and says their match with The Acclaimed came with many promises. One was to end scissoring, and the other is to have a mystery guest at ringside. Mansoor says yes, things got ugly on Rampage. Speaking of ugly, Max, Anthony & Billy, are you excited for MXM’s special surprise? Their third man, that is. But he is anything but ugly. He is fabulous, and he will beautifully make sure MXM takes Acclaimed’s spot and ends scissoring forever. But first… how do they look… RICO!? Wait, what!? YES!

Mercedes Mone & Kamille walk ‘n’ talk.
The CEO wants eyes up here, cameraman. “Tacomaaa~! Say hello to your Double Champion, The C E O. And we have arrived! Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Renee says The Rainmaker has now been cleared for competition, but has no match set for tonight. Why is he in Tacoma tonight? Okada says he is here to support The Elite. Yes, they are in action tonight, but- Kyle interrupts! He apologizes, but it is good to see Okada here. Kyle respects Okada, but he’s never faced Okada 1v1. And since Okada is cleared, how about Kyle gets a match? Okada says let him think about it. He thinks on it right here and now. And then says, “HELL NO!” Okada steps away, but comes back to add, “B*tch!” Kyle says that’s fine, he gets it. Maybe next time he’ll try… HAYMAKERS!!
The security rushes in here, as does Christopher Daniels! The Fallen Angel says tonight is one of the biggest nights, there can’t be chaos like this! They are both OUT of the building! GO! Okada and Kyle leave, but will these two have it out on Dynamite?
Hangman Page VS Jay White w/ Juice Robinson!
This rivalry goes back to the days when The Black Hat and the Switchblade were Young Lions in NJPW, on excursion in ROH, and then returned as established men fighting over the IWGP United States Championship. But while Hangman is looking to avenge all the wrongs imagined in his mind, White just wants payback for Hangman putting him on the shelf! Will WrestleDream be ready for some #CowboySh*t? Or will Tacoma soon breathe with the Switchblade?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!
But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?
The Acclaimed VS ???
Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.
Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!
“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”
The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.
Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?
Kris Statlander VS Amira!
With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?
The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.
“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.
“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?
The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!
Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.
Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST!

Butcher BOOTS Mortos, but Mortos fires up! Mortos runs in, Butcher dodges, and Mortos hits the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, Butcher pursues, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos! Butcher SMACKS Mortos off the steel steps, then stalks him around the way. Butcher ROCKS Mortos again, Roddy shouts for Mortos to get going, but Butcher BITES Mortos on the forehead! The ref reprimands but Butcher stalks Mortos.
Butcher BOOTS Mortos, puts him in the ring, then storms over. Butcher drags Mortos into a chinlock and digs fingers into Mortos’ face! Butcher CLUBS Mortos but Mortos fires body shots! Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in. The ref counts, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and now Mortos has Butcher down. The fans fire up and Mortos storms up to LARIAT! But Butcher stays up! Mortos LARIATS again, but Butcher shakes his head. Mortos runs, but Butcher ROCKS him first! Butcher runs, but Mortos follows to SPLASH at the ropes! Mortos runs and baits Butcher in! HEADBUTT! Mortos roars, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both behemoths down! The fans fire up and a standing count starts. Butcher and Mortos slowly rise, and they go to opposite ends. Mortos storms up to fireman’s carry and WASTELAND SLAM! The fans fire up as Mortos climbs!
The fans fire up as Mortos PHOENIX FLOPS as Butcher moves! Butcher runs up, waistlocks, half nelson and BACKBRAEKER! Then a deadlift JACKHAMMER!! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and Butcher is frustrated. Butcher points to the corner, climbs it, but Mortos CLUBS him! Mortos torture racks Butcher, BACKBREAKER DROP!! Even Roddy is stunned! Mortos hits a FLYING HEADBUTT!! Cover, Mortos wins!
Winner: The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!
All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?
Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!
He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?
The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it.

The fans fire up while Brannigan flounders. Archer reminds us, “EVERYBODY DIES!” Archer stands Brannigan up, tells the ref to back off, and he CHOPS Brannigan down! The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!
Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall
Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?
Jake the Snake speaks.
It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.
“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.
Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?
Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!
Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?
But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!
The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODER to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!
Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.
Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!
Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGER KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!
Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!
The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!
Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!
Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall
Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.
The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.
And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.
My Score: 8.6/10
