Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are back in action after promising to fight back to the top. However, they’re already running into quite the obstacle as The Swiss Superman & The Decoder are back together.

Time Limit Draw
The fans can’t believe it! This isn’t the first time FTR and a form of the BCC have done this! Dax gets a mic and says hey, BCC are fighters, and FTR sure are fighters, so how about fire more minutes? The fans love the sound of that! Yuta sure wants it, but out comes Brandon Cutler. He says hold on, hold on. He is here on behalf of our EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, and has the contract for this match. It says 20 minutes, no more. So sorry to be a stickler for rules, but it says 20, not 21, not 25, just 20. So their request- Claudio trips Cutler! GIANT SWING for the Young Bucks’ rule monkey! DROPKICK!!
Then Claudio CATAPULTS Cutler into the SHATTER MACHINE!! Well, we didn’t get a definitive winner in this match, but Claudio gets the mic. Claudio knows Cutler ruined the fun, and they won’t shake hands because that’s too cliche. But hey, anytime, anywhere they to do this again, FTR is on. The fans fire up for that, when and where will we see Dax & Cash run it back with Claudio & Yuta?
Backstage interview with Kyle O’Reilly.
Lexy Nair is with #CombatKyle and notes that tonight in the main event, and for the very first time 1v1, it will be O’Reilly VS Orange Cassidy. Kyle says yeah, and Dynamite was the first time they even collided. But Kyle can see why Cassidy is the face of this company, why he’s the MVP of AEW. He put the International Championship on the map! But then Roderick Strong shouts at “KYYYLE~!” Roddy steps in, The Kingdom with him, and says here’s what is going on. Ever since Kyle returned, he’s look good. Not great, but good. It just seems like Kyle takes one step forward and two steps back. It’s like… Something is missing. Or perhaps someone?
Roddy says that isn’t the only reason he’s here. He knows Kyle has the big main event match, and Roddy wants Kyle to know The Kingdom is rooting for him. And uh, Roddy’s beat Orange twice, so if Kyle needs advice, Roddy’s your man. Kyle says yeah, he “appreciates” the offer, but they’ve been through this before. Their support means a lot, but he doesn’t need it. Roddy says just remember what Kyle said when he returned. Roddy leaves it at that, will Kyle’s words come back to haunt him?
Kris Statlander w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Robyn Renegade!
As “Big Stoke” puts it, it’s #StaturdayNight, as The Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor is now all about herself and no one else. Will Kris take over AEW stat? Or will she be unable to handle this Renegade?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two tie up, go around, and Kris puts Renegade in the corner. Kris UPPERCUTS, then snapmares Robyn with force. Robyn gets up but Kris RAMS her into the other corner! Kris RAMS in again and again, lets off as the ref counts to whip right back into the corner! Robyn falls, the fans boo, but Stokely applauds as Kris flexes. Kris eggs Robyn on, then fakes a punch to KICK and LARIAT! The fans boo more but Kris sees Robyn go to a corner. Kris runs corner to corner but blocks a boot! “Nice try!” Kris gets Robyn up, Robyn fights with fists and gets free. But Kris blocks a shot to ROCK Robyn!
Kris then drags Robyn around, lifts, and SITOUT BOMBS! Robyn flounders, Kris hauls her right back up and gut wrenches. Tuck and FIGHT NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Kris does push-ups to show off, Stat’s stats are off the charts! Stokely steps into the ring to say, “This woman standing next to me, she’s an inspiration! She’s my muse! She’s the reason I get up in the morning. And you wanna know why? Because I wish I had the swift of Kris Statlander. I wish I had the speed of Kris Statlander! I wish I had the intensity of Kris Statlander! And I wish I could decimate an entire division with the snap of my fingers, just like Kris Statlander! Which brings me to my next point at hand.” Earlier today, Stokely talked with his close, personal friend, Tony Khan. And for the first time ever, they were on the same page!
Because Stoke told TK that Kris is the past, present AND future of AEW! And also, that Kris Statlander is going to make history! She will be the first woman to have ever won the TBS Championship and the AEW Women’s World Championship! And he’s sure people are wondering how she’s gonna do that, and Stoke is gonna tell you. She makes history again by entering the 2024 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup! Kris will win that, go to Wembley, beat whoever is champion, hold that AEW Women’s World title up high, and there is no one, and Stoke means NO ONE that can stop her! Will Kris’s stats be astronomical after pulling off such an achievement?
Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Lexy finds the Babe with The Power just as she’s entering the building, and asks her her reaction to Stokely announcing Kris’ entering the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. Willow says that’s interesting. As last year’s Owen Cup winner, it is only fitting that she announces her own entry. Willow tells Stat that she hopes to see her in the tournament. Then what is Willow doing here tonight? Oh, just keeping an eye on the action. Willow heads out, will these former friends fight over who heads for Wembley?
Dustin Rhodes VS Johnny TV w/ Taya Valkyrie!
If there’s anyone who knows about being #TVReady, it’s The Natural. Dustin has been part of FIVE DIFFERENT DECADES of pro-wrestling, and he doesn’t look to be done yet! Will Dustin show Jonny a thing or two about a thing or two? Or will Dustin be taking a ride on Starship Pain all the way to Slam Town?
The bell rings and Johnny tells the fans to shut up about Dustin. They tie up, Dustin puts Johnny in a corner, but Johnny blocks the haymaker! Johnny wrenches, kicks low, then fires body shots! Johnny ROCKS Dustin, ROCKS him again, but Dustin UPPERCUTS! And UPPERCUTS again! And then he DECKS Johnny! Dustin headlocks, Johnny powers up and out, but Dustin runs him over! Things keep moving, Johnny hurdles and Dustin tumbles! Dustin rolls through that to roll out and hang out with Taya! The fans cheer, and then Dustin spooks Taya with a bark. But Johnny SLIDES out, gets between Dustin and Taya, only for Dustin to CANNONBALL!
The fans fire up with Dustin as he wipes out Mr. TV! Taya says, “How dare you!” Dustin stands Johnny up to CHOP! Dustin puts Johnny in, glares at Taya and Taya says she didn’t say anything. Dustin walks over to her, Taya says he is just a disgusting man. Johnny DIVES and takes Dustin out! Taya applauds, Johnny gets Dustin up and SMACKS him off steel steps! Taya talks trash and mockingly cheers Dustin. The fans actually cheer Dustin, but Johnny & Taya stand on him while they make out! Who’s disgusting? The fans boo, Taya & Johnny stop sucking face, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Johnny steps down so he can stand Dustin up. Johnny ROCKS Dustin, reels him in, and then APRON COMPLETE SHOTS! Dustin flounders into the ring, Johnny stalks him and clamps on a chinlock. Dustin endures, Taya mocks the fans again, but the fans still rally for Dustin. Johnny shifts his grip but Dustin fights up to fire body shots. Johnny ROCKS Dustin then DECKS him! Johnny stomps Dustin, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Johnny goes back for another kiss from Taya, then stalks Dustin again. Johnny KICKS Dustin, SUPERKICKS him, then grins as he paces. Taya taunts the fans and Johnny goes back for more. Johnny wants a Spider-Man kiss!
Taya kisses Johnny while he’s upside-down, but Dustin drags Johnny back in! CATAPULT into ropes! Johnny suffers for his love, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and both men rise up as the fans rally. Dustin hits first, but Johnny hits back! The haymakers go back and forth, with the fans behind Dustin. Dustin rebounds to UPPERCUT! Johnny ROCKS Dustin, fires fast hands, then hits low! Johnny kicks, runs, but then steals the RHODES- NO! Dustin won’t let Johnny use his move! Dustin UPPERCUTS Johnny, kicks, and RHODES UPPERCUTS! Dustin runs side to side, BOOT then BULLDOG! The fans fire up as Johnny staggers around. Dustin CLOBBERS Johnny, CLOBBERS him again, and the fans fire up! Dustin runs but Johnny BOOTS back!
Johnny runs up, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Johnny stays in this but Dustin drags him up. Dustin reels Johnny in, but Johnny wrenches out to kick and MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO!! Dustin survives and Taya is upset but Johnny keeps his cool. The fans rally up for Dustin, but Johnny Alabama Lifts! But Dustin grabs ropes to deny the slam! The ref counts, Johnny yanks Dustin free, but Dustin turns this into a DESTROYER! The fans are thunderous and Dustin sets Johnny up in the ropes! The ref reprimands, Taya says don’t! Taya gets up but she distracts the ref! SHATTERED DREAMS!!
Dustin reels Johnny in for the CROSS RHODES!! Cover, but Taya helps with the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo as the ref totally missed that! Dustin tells Taya to stop it! Taya says Dustin can’t do nothing! But he blocks the slap! The ref then EJECTS Taya!! The fans fire up as Mrs. TV freaks out! Dustin hurries in but Johnny LOW BLOWS Dustin! Then ROUNDHOUSES!! Cover, TWO!!! Dustin survives but Johnny hurries to drag him around! Johnny rains down forearms to keep Dustin in the drop zone. The fans boo as Johnny KNEES Dustin down! Johnny KNEES Dustin again, and again! Johnny goes up, STARSHIP FLOP!!
The fans fire up as Dustin dodges, then he gives a SHINING WIZARD back! Dustin hurries to suplex Johnny, FINAL RECKONING!! Cover, Dustin wins!
Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall
Johnny & Taya tried to take this away from Dustin, but it was only natural that the good guy wins in the end! Dustin gets a mic to say, “Oh God, I’m getting old.” The fans assure him, “You Still Got It!” Dustin thanks them, and says this doesn’t happen a lot for him after a match. He has two things to talk about tonight. One: the fans themselves. For almost 40 YEARS, the fans have not abandoned him. He thanks them for accepting him, turning on their TVs to watch him entertain them. He loves and appreciates them all. Dustin also thanks the talent in the back, the production crew, and Tony Khan for all the support right now. And that includes these cameramen.
These are the best cameramen in the business, they’re all number one. But the second thing, and the most important thing, and it really pisses him off… But Dustin wants to talk about the one they call “Scapegoat” Jack Perry. The fans boo that name. Dustin tells Jack that when he left, AEW did miss him. The fans are a bit torn on that. But when Jack came back, they were happy to see him. And what’d he do? Jack attacked Dustin’s boss! The man who pays them their money! The man who gave Jack his second chance! Jack disgusts Dustin. Jack joins up with The Elite? C’mon, man…
And lately, Jack’s been talking about sacrifice. Jack’s sacrifices for this business. Let Dustin tell you something, boy! Jack was born with a silver spoon in his mouth! He’s never worked a day in his GADDAM LIFE! Sacrifice? Sacrifice is losing your job, being handed a watch, and a computer took your job. Then you pick up two jobs just to make ends meet, and the money’s still less somehow! THAT is sacrifice! But for 37 YEARS, Dustin has sacrificed for family, the most important thing in his life! “Jack, to put it simply, you ain’t sacrificed S*IT!!”
When Dustin first met little Jack, they took a picture, and Dustin thought, “What a cool kid.” But knowing what he knows now, Dustin can’t see anything other than a spoiled brat. So listen up very carefully, Jack. The reason Jack is mediocre right now is because he’s not a leader but a follower! Jack’s always been a follower! And if Jack’s not a leader, which he sure as Hell ain’t, then as his dad would say, the view never changes! The fans cheer for “DUSTY! DUSTY!” and Dustin looks to Heaven. Dustin then tells Jack, “You and I have a match this Wednesday on Dynamite. Jack… I am going to DESTROY your little punk ass!
“You can’t beat me fair and square, and I’ll mark my whole career on that! And this Wednesday night, when it’s all over and you’re laying in a pile of heap, you will never forget my name! The Natural, Dustin Rhodes!” The fans are all fired up for that! Will Dustin teach Jack Perry all about #HardTimes?
AEW hears from Zack Sabre Jr.
“AEW fans rejoice. You’re listening to the dulcet tones of Zack Sabre Jr. Now we are fast approaching that magical time of the bloody year, The Naughty Door. And it would not be complete without the greatest technical wrestler in the world, Zed S J. And this year, I’m returning for unfinished business. Freshly Squeezed Orange Bollocks, you’ve got the juicy bits. You get your ass to New York, June 30th, Forbidden Door. I’ll see you there, darling.” The Submission Master wants to settle the score with Cassidy, will he make Cassidy #JustTapOut?
The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling VS Trip Jordy & Dante Leon!
Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari tried to make a fool out of Hook, but Samoa Joe was the only reason Hook didn’t make ground beef out of them. Will the Premier Athletes prove they’ve got what it takes to back up their talk?
The teams- NEVERMIND, Nese & Daivari just attack! The bell rings, Nese whips Dante to a corner, he and Daivari mug him! The fans boo, Nese & Daivari let off. Trip runs up but is sent into Dante, and they both get mugged! Nese & Daivari TOSS Trip out, then Daivari gets Dante for the LION’S LARIAT! Nese TOSSES Dante out, but Trip returns! Daivari bucks the O’Conner, Nese gets him with a PREMIER DRIVER! Cover, Premier Athletes win!
Winners: The Premier Athletes, by pinfall
Sterling raises his guys’ hands in victory, but needless to say, the guys they faced aren’t anything close to Hook & Joe. Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil & The Samoan Submission Specialist be much more than just a workout for Nese & Daivari?
Scorpio Sky speaks.
“I’ve been listening. And I hear you. There’s a gap in this company. You feel it. One by one, all of your heroes have fallen. Who else do you got? They say an open hand is not as strong as a closed fist. Now is the time for us to come together. And standing on the backs of those fallen heroes, we can reach the stars. I will be your hero. I will be your voice. And eventually, I will be your champion. Because I’m here for you.” Scorpio smiles, but not for long. Will he come through on his promise to win it all “for us?”
Toni Storm w/ Mariah May & Luther VS Lady Frost!
The Leading Lady told us last night that she is going to turn up the heat, and things are certainly heating up as Mariah is finding herself stuck between her two mentors. Will the AEW Women’s World Champion stay sharp as she prepares for Mina Shirakawa? Or will Frost be so cold that she earns her own shot at the gold?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Storm arm-drags then poses. The fans cheer but Frost stays cool. Frost and Storm reset, circle, and tie up. Frost blocks an arm-drag, so Storm wrenches to a wristlock instead. Frost cartwheels then arm-drags back! The fans cheer as Storm goes to a corner. Storm is flustered but she resets with Frost. They circle again, tie up, and Frost wrenches to knuckle locks, then a spin and cording hold. Storm powers her way out to wrench and wristlock. Frost moves around, rolls, but Storm wrenches again. Storm whips, Frost reverses then says FREEZE! So Storm poses!
The fans cheer, Frost is flustered but she trips Storm! Things speed up, Frost ducks ‘n ‘dodges to handspring and RANA! Storm tumbles out of the ring, Frost fakes a plancha! Frost then mule kicks, then ASAI MOONSAULTS! The fans fire up while Mariah checks on Storm. Frost has her step aside, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Luther helps Storm up while Mariah distracts Frost, and Storm is safe in the ring! Frost is annoyed but she hurries back in. Frost brings Storm around to CHOP! Storm staggers away, Frost storms up on her and CHOPS again! They go to a third corner, but Storm avoids the chop to CHOP in return! Storm brings Frost around to CHOP again! Frost drops to her knees, but Storm gets her up to snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Storm brushes her stinging chest to then get Frost up. Frost throws body shots, but Storm ROCKS her! Storm snapmares Frost for a HIP ATTACK! And another HIP ATTACK! And then a wind up and HIP ATTACK!
Storm drags Frost up, whips her to a corner, then CHOPS! Storm reels Frost in for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Frost stays in this but Storm stays on her. Storm has the arms for a motorcycle stretch! Frost endures, fights up, but Storm shifts to a full nelson! Storm thrashes Frost around, Frost fights up, but Storm TOSSES her! Storm stalks Frost to a corner, bumps her off buckles, then stomps a mudhole in. Storm CHOPS Frost, swaggers to the far corner, and Collision returns to single picture. Storm poses for her close up, then runs up, but Frost avoids the hips! Frost runs corner to corner to handspring CANNONBALL into only buckles!
Storm hurries back in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! Cover, TWO!! Storm is shocked that her second take didn’t do it! Storm gets Frost up but Frost switches. Frost pushes to ropes but Storm bucks the O’Conner! SKY- VICTORY ROLL! TWO!! Frost ROUNDHOUSES Storm, then cartwheels into the Alabama Lift, CHILLA DRILLA!! Cover, TWO?!? Storm survives Frost’s best shot! The fans fire up, Frost puts Storm in a drop zone. Frost goes up but Storm trips her up! Storm then brings Frost into a DRAPING BACKSTABBER! Storm gets Frost up, Frost trips Storm to a jackknife, TWO! Storm hurries for the SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!
The fans rally as Frost goes to a corner. Storm runs in, but into an ELBOW! Frost BOOTS back, runs and cartwheels to Alabama Lift again! But Storm turns that into a STORM ZERO!! Cover, Storm wins!
Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall
The Summer heat was too much for Frost and Storm stands tall! Mariah sits with Storm and Storm has a mic. Storm tells Mariah that she knows Mariah has been having a tough time recently. In a few weeks time, Storm faces Mariah’s former tag partner, Mina Shirakawa. Storm knows this is awkward for Mariah, but Mariah must know, Storm loves her so very much. Storm is just so proud of Mariah, and she should have all the same opportunities as Storm did. But Storm didn’t have someone looking out for her, and that is what Storm is going to be for Mariah. So as AEW Women’s World Champion, Storm is DEMANDING that Mariah be entered into the Women’s Owen Hart Cup!
The fans cheer and Mariah is honored! Storm vows to be there every step of the way, they’ll get through this together. No matter what happens, remember: chin up; tits out; and watch for the SHOE~! Will Mariah make Storm proud by becoming the 2024 Queen of Harts? Will Storm still have Mariah’s support at Forbidden Door?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!
As part of the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, there will be a TNT Championship Qualifying Match! Lee Moriarty will represent Shane Taylor Promotions against Dante Martin of Top Flight! STP called out the Martins, will Angel Dorado shut them up when he shuts #TAIGASTYLE down? Speaking of…
Backstage interview with Shane Taylor Promotions and Top Flight.
Lexy thanks all six men for agreeing to the No Physicality rule for this. Next week, Lee Moriarty VS Dante Martin is a qualifier for the TNT Championship ladder match. There is a longstanding history between these two, they were once friends training under Matt Sydal. Dante says that is true. Another fact is that Dante was Lee’s first opponent in AEW. Lee has grown leaps and bounds since that day. BUT, the results next week will still be the same. But hey, all in friendly competition, right? Lee says that’s crazy, because the last time they were in the ring together, Lee won that! So what makes Dante think that when the stakes are this high, it’ll be any different?
Shane says he appreciates this history lesson and all, but that’s all it was: history, the past. Just like their friendship. Now Lee is rolling with the baddest fight team in all of AEW. You think Dante can outwrestle one of the best technical wrestlers in the game today? What Top Flight does barely counts as wrestling, they’re just glorified stuntmen! The only one out of the three with any heart is Action Andretti! Action isn’t sure why he got singled out, but Shane says next week, we see who can really rumble. Tensions are running high, and it’s headed for a Collision next week. Who makes it through to head for The Forbidden Door?
Samoa Joe & Hook speak.
Joe asks “Speak ‘n’ Spell” what’s good, is this working? Katsuyori Shibata via Google Translate says yes, relax, he’s got the camera. Okay, follow them. This trio goes down the hall and Joe asks about lacrosse. Is that some sport y’all just invented? What? That’s like the oldest sport in North America. Oh, a game that’s half hockey and half soccer is somehow the oldest sport in America? Yeah, bro, older than both. Huh. Joe then walks up to a door, asks if Hook’s ready, and Hook says let’s get it. Joe slides the door open, and asks The Premier Athletes, “What’s up, boys?” Hook & Joe jump Daivari & Nese while Sterling shouts for help!
Joe tells Sterling to shut up, then throws him down! Joe tells Sterling to look at him! Hook, you watch this, too, because it’s important. Sterling opens his eyes while trembling, and Joe tells Sterling to remember who did this to them. Joe shoves Sterling down, he and Hook leave, and Shibata adds, “Next time, it’ll be wrestling.” Joe’s trio of BAMF’s heads out, will they make The Premier Athletes all eat their words?
Daniel Garcia VS Tate Mayfairs!
The Red Death returned home to Buffalo to refocus, as well as remember the day everything almost ended for him. Garcia wants after the International Championship, will he prove himself worthy in time for The Forbidden Door? Or will The UK’s (self-proclaimed) Best Wrestler of All Time prove he is worthy of his own international opportunities?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Garcia waistlocks to SLAM Tate, floats all over, then sits on him. The fans cheer, Garcia goes to Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Garcia headlocks, wrenches, wristlocks, but Tate rolls, handsprings, and cartwheels to then arm-drag! But Garcia holds on to drag Tate down! The fans cheer but Tate fights up. Tate spins, powers Garcia to a corner, and the ref counts. Garcia turns things around, but Tate turns them back. Tate body shots, CHOPS, and UPPERCUTS! Tate climbs up to smooth his hair, but the fans boo. Tate FIST DROPS, rolls back, and he soaks up the heat. But then Garcia runs up to CLOBBER Tate!
The fans fire up and Garcia storms up to whip Tate. Garcia ELBOWS Tate down, Tate flounders about, but he uses ropes for defense. Garcia still whips, but Tate blocks to send Garcia into buckles! Tate runs and LARIATS Garcia! Cover, TWO! Tate rains down fists, lets off as the fans boo, but Tate flexes, to then mock Garcia’s dance! Garcia fires off hands, but Tate fires JAB, JAB, JAB and RIGHT! Tate then steps up to ELBOW Garcia, and smooths his hair again. Tate reels Garcia in but Garcia throws knees! Garcia reels Tate in, TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Garcia drags Tate up to TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT again! Then a third TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT!
The fans fire up, Garcia runs up, but Tate BOOTS him! Tate runs up, Garcia clamps on but Tate breaks free. Garcia SLAPS Tate, reels him in, SAIDO! Tate flounders around, the fans fire up, and Garcia does his dance! Garcia runs to SHOTGUN Tate down! Garcia reels Tate back in, GUILLOTINE FACELOCK!! Tate fades right out, but then Garcia hits the RED CROSS! Cover, Garcia wins!

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed, and says he has the big main event match up next, but she knows a lot has been on his mind lately. We saw that video from ZSJ calling him out, and Cassidy says yes, we did. As if he didn’t have enough to worry about. Cassidy has his match with Kyle tonight, all his friends have left him, having either given him a piledriver on steps or a punch in the face. Every other week for the past two years, it was like everyone wanted to team with him. He had so many friends. Now where’s everyone? All gone, he’s alone. And ZSJ wants to talk Forbidden Door? Cassidy has to get through tonight.
Lexy’s seen Kyle O’Reilly in action, right? And so, for the first time 1v1, Cassidy has Kyle. Cassidy thinks that’s like, now. He has to go, he can’t be here right now. Cassidy heads out, having said the most he’s said perhaps ever in his entire AEW career. Is Freshly Squeezed finally starting to feel the pressure of his star power? Can he hold it together against the Violent Artist?
Orange Cassidy VS Kyle O’Reilly!
We heard from both men tonight, and going by how he has The Pixies as his theme and the darker denim jacket on, Orange is in a sour mood. Will he end up bitter after losing tonight? Or will tasting sweet, sweet victory lighten Cassidy’s mood?
Oh and of course, The Undisputed Kingdom makes sure Kyle notices they’re in the crowd for him. The bell rings, Kyle and Cassidy circle. The fans rally and duel, the two men tie up, and Kyle waistlocks. Kyle then shifts to wrench an arm, wristlocks it, but Cassidy works his way into a roll, sits there, then rolls back to wrench back! Kyle kicks Cassidy away, goes for a leg, then brings Cassidy down. Kyle floats to a headlock and he grinds Cassidy down. Cassidy kicks around, the fans rally, and Cassidy less kips free and more scoots free. The fans cheer as Cassidy flops to the ropes. Kyle sits down and waits on Cassidy.
Kyle reclines back, leg guard up, and dares Cassidy to go for the groin. Cassidy isn’t so sure about that, but Kyle stays facing him no matter where Cassidy goes. Kyle then rolls back for an upside-down guard. Cassidy being perplexed is something new, but then Cassidy sits down to dare Kyle to go for the groin. Kyle BOOTS Cassidy, knuckle locks, but Cassidy denies the top mount to MONKEY FLIP! Cassidy rolls back, but into the body scissors! KIMURA, but Cassidy has the ROPEBREAK! Kyle lets go cleanly, and the fans rally behind him. The Kingdom really pour it on, too. Kyle and Cassidy tie up, and Kyle headlocks.
Cassidy powers up and out, but Kyle avoids the arm-drag to trip Cassidy. Kyle steps all over Cassidy, runs, but blocks the hip toss to go for a hip toss, only for Cassidy to turn that around! Cassidy drags Kyle to a lateral press, ONE! Kyle has the ghost pin, ONE! Cassidy shifts around to ghost pin, TWO! Kyle shifts to ghost pin, TWO! Cassidy shifts and Oklahoma Rolls, TWO! Kyle wrenches and wraps Cassidy up, MOUSE TRAP! TWO, but now Cassidy’s in a GROUND OCTOPUS! Cassidy kicks and flails, ROPEBREAK! Kyle lets go cleanly and the fans cheer. Cassidy bails out, The Kingdom is there to taunt him, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Cassidy paces, frowns, and goes back inside. Cassidy then slides back out, getting a fresh count. Cassidy lazy fist bumps fans, then he goes back into the ring. Cassidy and Kyle reset, tie up, and Kyle wrenches to a wristlock. Kyle drags Cassidy down and headscissor holds! Cassidy endures, but Kyle pushes up to put on the squeeze! Cassidy kicks but can’t kip free, and Kyle puts on more pressure! Cassidy headstands, then kicks to pop free. Cassidy puts his hands up, but Kyle keeps them from the pockets! Kyle drags Cassidy around into the ARMBAR! Cassidy kicks and flails, ROPEBREAK! The erf counts, and Kyle lets off.
Cassidy shakes out his arms while he stands up, and he resets with Kyle again. They tie up, Cassidy headlocks, but Kyle endures. Cassidy wrenches to wristlock, then hammerlocks. Kyle switches the hammerlock onto Cassidy, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Cassidy fights up, only for Kyle to headlock. Cassidy powers out to then headlock and takeover! Kyle pushes his forearms into Cassidy’s face, rolls him to a cover, ONE! They stand, Kyle powers up and out but Cassidy slips around to hit another headlock and takeover! The fans cheer this technical exchange, then they rally up and duel. Kyle fights up to throw body shots, then he sends Cassidy to a corner. Kyle runs in, Cassidy slides under, but then Kyle rebounds to slide under Cassidy! Kyle goes for a leg, Cassidy steps over and wrenches. Kyle wrenches back, suplexes, STUN DOG- NO! Kyle stops the stunner for a SLEEPER!
Cassidy flails, reaches out, but Kyle rolls him back! But Cassidy rolls through, gets the wrists, and he uses ZSJ’s EURO CLUTCH! TWO!! Kyle escapes, but then Cassidy puts hands up! Kyle stops him from putting them in pockets! Cassidy still tires, but Kyle fights those off! Kyle uses a shoulder to block one, then clinches! Cassidy fights to reach for his pants, but Kyle still holds the arms up! So Cassidy puts his hands together and slips out the bottom! The fans cheer as Cassidy gives a lazy thumbs up! Cassidy then ducks the buzzsaw! Hands up, and in pockets! The fans cheer but Kyle is annoyed. Kyle whips, Cassidy rolls then hurdles, then MONKEY FLIPS!
Cassidy kips up, but Kyle KICKS, SLAPS, KNEES and KICKS! LEG SWEEP! The Kingdom is all fired up for Kyle, and Kyle KICKS Cassidy in the back! Kyle drags Cassidy up, wrenches an arm, and hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Kyle whips Cassidy to a corner, Cassidy goes up and out, ducks a shot and bumps Kyle off buckles! And off more buckles! Then back the other way, but Kyle HOTSHOTS the arm! Kyle gets a leg now, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Cassidy falls, Kyle goes out and he brings Cassidy around. Kyle SLAMS the leg on the edge! Then he DECKS Cassidy with a forearm! SLAM the leg, DECK Cassidy!
The Kingdom cheers and that just annoys and confuses Kyle. Roddy whispers something to Kyle, perhaps one of his “secrets” to defeating Cassidy? But then Cassidy storms up to ROCK Kyle! And again! Kyle gets the leg, DRAGON SCREW and Cassidy is sent into the barriers! The Kingdom fires up, the ref checks Cassidy, but Kyle storms up on Cassidy. Kyle gets the leg again, DRAGON SCREW and again Cassidy hits barriers! Could this be the hint Roddy gave Kyle? Kyle puts Cassidy in, then stalks Cassidy to a corner. Kyle fires knees, backs off to run back in, but blocks a boot! That leg is put in the ropes, Kyle DRAPING DRAGON SCREWS the other leg!
Cassidy falls over and flounders away! Kyle stalks Cassidy again as Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle stomps Cassidy at the ropes, lets off as the ref counts, then puts a leg on the ropes. Kyle stands on that leg, to then stomp the other! The Kingdom continues to applaud, Kyle stalks Cassidy to a corner. Kyle HEADBUTTS Cassidy down, ties up the legs, and mocks putting hands in pockets before hitting a FIGURE FOUR SNAP LOCK!

They go back and forth, harder and harder, KICK for KICK, but then Kyle blocks to KICK, ROCK and reel Cassidy in! Suplex, STUN DOG- NO! ARMBAR!! But Cassidy clasps hands to put one in his pockets!

Cassidy stands, Alabama Lift, BEACH BREAK!! Cover, TWO?!? Kyle survives and The Kingdom is beside themselves! Cassidy goes to a corner, Council Bluffs is fired up behind “FRESHLY SQUEEZED!” and he takes aim. ORANGE- KNEE! AX and- NO, Cassidy avoids Smash to ORANGE PUNCH! Kyle yoyos and returns, into an ORANGE PUNCH!!
Cassidy pushes Kyle over for the cover, CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
The Kingdom cannot believe it! Cassidy was combat ready and grits it out against Kyle in their first 1v1 encounter ever. Cassidy gives a thumbs up to Kyle out of respect, but Kyle seems a bit frustrated with himself. WAIT, Trent Beretta & Kyle Fletcher slide in! Trent CLOBBERS Cassidy!! The fans boo, and Kyle sees this as the Don Callis Family mugs Cassidy! Kyle says hell no, and he storms back in! Kyle fires off on Fletcher! But then Trent CLOBBERS Kyle! The DCF beat down Kyle & Cassidy, why isn’t The Kingdom doing anything to help their “friend?” And then Trent puts Cassidy in the SNAKE BITE!!
Fletcher stomps away on O’Reilly, it’s Kyle on Kyle violence! BUT WAIT! Kris slides in! Kris taps Trent on the shoulder and he lets off. They shake hands, they’re still friends. The fans boo as Kris then sits Cassidy up, but he’s dead weight! But here comes WILLOW! Willow slides in, Kris runs away! The Babe with the Power warned Kris that they’ll see each other soon enough. But will Willow and Cassidy have to watch each other’s backs if they want a fair shake against Kris and Trent?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, with some real story development here. Kris of course beats Renegade and I do like her getting in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. Good stuff with the new tron and Stokely’s promos, too. Willow also had a good promo in response, and we should’ve of course seen how things would go at the end of tonight. Awesome main event from Cassidy VS O’Reilly, with good stuff from The Kingdom ringside the whole time. Great win for Cassidy, and then of course Trent attacks with back-up from Fletcher. Kris also looks to add on, but good counter from Willow. I was expecting a Mixed Tag, maybe we get a Mixed Six if they want Kyle and Kyle included. Chances are, one of the Kyles takes the loss, maybe The Kingdom screws around to keep it protected.
The opening tag match of FTR VS Claudio & Yuta was awesome stuff as far as action, and pulling a time limit draw was fine. Cutler showed up to mouth off on behalf of the EVPs so him getting beat up was fun. Maybe the BCC become allies to FTR against The EVPs? The Acclaimed is already gunning for the tag titles as it is, could something really big be in the works? Good squash win for Nese & Daivari, and I really liked Joe, Hook and supposedly Shibata jumping them in the locker room. Pretty sure we get a Six Man Tag, where Nese, Daivari & Josh Woods take on Joe, Hook & Shibata. Could be a way to build Joe, Hook & Shibata as a trio before taking on Bang Bang Gang.
Very good promo from Shane Taylor Promotions and Top Flight. The way Shane’s putting Action over, could STP be trying to recruit him away from Top Flight? Either way, Lee VS Dante is going to be really good stuff next week, either man is a great choice for the ladder match. Garcia VS Tate was really good but really quick because of course Garcia was gonna win. Garcia being from Buffalo, New York, I am very sure they’ll give him an International Championship match for Forbidden Door, and he could possibly even win the title. Garcia needs something, this would be the right spot if Ospreay is staring down double duty between the International title defense and challenging for the AEW World title.
Very good match from Storm and Frost, and good win for Storm. Her little promo with Mariah to put her in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup was good, but this is definitely setting things up for Storm VS Mariah in Wembley. Mariah could help Storm retain the title at Forbidden Door, then shockingly betray her on the build to All In. That would be some wild stuff after all these months of Mariah being a loyal protege. And then great stuff with Dustin VS Johnny TV. Great win for Dustin, and a great promo from him calling out Jack Perry. Dustin VS Jack is going to be great stuff, and could even be how Jack earns his way into the TNT Championship match, just as I was sensing on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10

Kenny Omega VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The AEW International Champion knows he has a Triple Threat waiting for him at Dynasty, so he needs to get himself ready. Will tonight be a tune-up for the Best Bout Machine? Or will he not like the taste of the Vanilla Babyface?
The bell rings and the fans fire up for “KENNY! KENNY!” Omega and Blake circle, feel things out, and tie up. Omega waistlocks, Blake pries at the grip, and Blake wrenches out to wristlock. Omega wrenches back, wristlocks again, but Blake rolls, cartwheels, and slips through to wrench. Blake spins Omega to snapmare, but Omega turns chinlock into armlock. Omega wrenches, then hits a headlock takeover. Blake headscissors, Omega kips free, and Omega hits another takeover. Omega fights off the headscissors, but Blake fights up to his feet. Blake powers up and out, but Omega runs him over! Blake kips up, then pie faces Omega! And flips him off!
St. Paul boos as Blake is anything but a babyface here. Omega shrugs that off and CHOPS Blake! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Blake sputters, Omega wrenches and reel shim in, for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Omega runs corner to corner, but Blake dodges! Omega hits buckles hard, then Blake fires shots to the lower back! The fans boo but Blake fires more body blows. Omega fires forearms and haymakers, but Blake knees low! Blake whips, hurdles, then dodges to DROPKICK! Blake kips up, and pulls out a finger gun! Blake licks it, BANG, but Omega ROCKS him first! Omega then brings Blake to a corner, but Blake blocks the buckle bump!
Blake CLAWS Omega’s eyes, then steps out to the apron with him, APRON SPEAR! Omega goes to the floor, Blake builds speed, INVERTED DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp, and Blake high-fives Big Shotty. Blake puts Omega in, then springboards, but Omega gets under! Blake handsprings through, but into a V-TRIGGER! Lee gets on the apron, but Omega DECKS him! The fans fire up, Omega vows to end this! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake sputters, but Omega hits another SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake is dazed but Omega isn’t done! Omega reels Blake in, hooks a leg, AOI SHODOU! The fans fire up and Omega takes out his finger gun!
Omega says BANG, runs in, and V-TRIGGER! Blake sputters, Omega Electric Chair Lifts! Fold for the ONE WINGED ANGEL!! Cover, Omega wins!
Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall
The Vanilla Babyface melted from the heat Omega is bringing! Omega picks up his belt but also a mic to say, “What’s going on?” The fans cheer, and Omega says it is unfortunate that he doesn’t get to wrestle every single week like he’d like. But when he gets the chance to come out to St. Paul, and when he promises them that he’ll make it quick, AEW’s fearless leader, Tony Khan, had no choice but to sign the match. But it will be a far different story when it comes to Dynasty! Omega not only has Ricochet, who the fans boo, but he also has the newcomer, though not so new to Omega, in “Speedball” Mike Bailey! The fans cheer that name!
And speaking of, here comes Speedball! The fans fire up as Bailey walks out, mic in hand, and he goes right to the ring. The fans cheer as these two are face to face, and Bailey says, “Kenny Omega…” Omega says, “Speedball.” Bailey congratulates Omega, and Omega says, “Thanks?” Bailey says he wanted to come out here and say that Omega is an inspiration to him. Bailey respects Omega. No, more than that, he admires Omega. As a wrestler, but also as a person, and as a champoin. But Kenny… Come Dynasty, even though Bailey respects Omega, he will not hold anything back.
Bailey won’t pull his punches, and he won’t hesitate for even one second to kick Omega’s head clean off and take that International Championship! Fans are torn on that, but Omega says, “So, by the sounds of it-” Oh no, Ricochet interrupts from the tron. “Do I have you attention? Okay, good, good, good. As much as I would love to be there in person, to smack both of you in your faces for even thinking that you’re going to leave Dynasty with my title… Fortunately for everybody involved in this situation, today is my wedding.” Ricochet models his white suit, and says he is dressed for the best day of his life.
“That is, until April 6th, when I continue to show everybody why Ricochet is Outta This World, and I beat you, Cornball, and I beat you, former Best Bout Machine, and I become the NEW International Champion! Oh, it sounds good, it sounds so good. I can see it now. So go ahead, continue to argue amongst yourselves about the inevitable. That being that after April 6th, Ricochet leaves Dynasty with both the girl and the gold. AHA~!” The One & Only adjusts his collar, but Omega tells him not so fast! Oh, well, he’s gone. But first of all, congratulations are in order. But that’ll be the only thing Omega will congratulate Ricochet on.
Because at Dynasty, make no mistake about it, it’s much like Ricochet said, it isn’t about making friends! Omega has a cat, he doesn’t need any more friends. The fans cheer that! Omega continues to say that as good of a guy as Bailey may be, and as big of a piece of garbage as Ricochet is, they aren’t Omega’s comrades. There is only one thing Omega has time for, there is only one thing Omega has room for, and it’s got to do with the thing on his shoulder, and that is his legacy. So consider yourselves just another stepping stone to solidifying Omega’s legacy. Oh and by the way, welcome to AEW, Bailey.
Unfortunately, while Omega wishes he could talk more, he must bid each and every one of you adieu! So until Dynasty, goodbye, MWAH! And goodnight, BANG! The Cleaner puts both his challengers on notice, but will the numbers spell disaster for him at Dynasty?
The Learning Tree speaks.
Chris Jericho says, “Last Sunday on Collision, I had Gravity’s mask taken from me. Or should I say, taken from us. But that’s okay, because I think it’s time for all the masks to be removed. It’s time to discuss some ugly truths that need to be addressed. Like the fact that you two (Big Bill & Bryan Keith) have been under the branches of The Learning Tree for far too long without using the wisdom that I’ve bestowed upon you. I need to ask you why I have to keep telling you time and time again to prove yourselves, I’m sick of asking! You need to think if it’s worthy for you to still be with Chris Jericho.
“If you think that, then it’s time for you to make some drastic changes, and go prove yourselves to me! Once again, for the last time, PROVE IT!” Bill & Keith quietly walk off, and Jericho turns his attention back to the camera. Bandido got his brother’s mask back, congrats. But it isn’t Gravity’s mask that Jericho wants, it’s Bandido’s! Jericho wants Bandido to feel the disgrace and humiliation that his brother did when Jericho tore that mask off in front of their family! And why would Bandido put up the mask? Jericho knows Bandido wants to be ROH World Champion again, so how about this? Title VS Mask for Dynasty!
Bandido, is it worth risking the humiliation? Is it risking the disgrace? Is it worth making your mother cry again when you lose the mask? Is it worth it? Jericho thinks so. See you at Dynasty. The Nueve is ready to risk it all, but will he be the one to lose it all in just 11 days?
MJF is here!
St. Paul is torn as the Scumbag walks out, mic already in hand. MJF goes to the ring, shows off MVP’s business card, then has them cut his music. MJF says, “Much like Michael Jackson’s legacy is far more important than that talentless hack named Prince…” MJF grins as the fans boo… “My words are far more important than everybody watching on their cheap TV sets in their trailer parks at home, and it’s damn sure more important than each and every one of yours.” The fans boo more, but MJF says, “Let’s play a game, okeh, Minnesota? We’re gonna shut the hell up. You think we can pull that off?” The fans boo, so no.
MJF says that’s what he thought. MJF tells MVP that he’s been looking at the card for two weeks straight. And he would like for them to have a little chit-chat so MJF can give an answer. MJF invites MVP out, and the fans cheer as the head of The Hurt Syndicate makes his way out here! Montel Vontavious Porter likes the fans singing along, “We Hurt~ People!” and chanting “M V P! M V P!” MJF says the thing we can agree on is that MVP is a legend in the sport of professional wrestling. And is that a new cane? That’s gorgeous! The fans cheer that, and MJF tells MVP that after everything with Adam Cole, MJF promised he would never do “friends” in this again.
And MJF has known “Montel” a very long time, and if there is one thing MJF has learned about him, it’s that when MVP clocks in, he doesn’t do friends, either. MVP does business. MJF has been looking at the card for a long time, and he has made a decision. The decision is… MJF would like to be in the business of hurting people. MJF offers a handshake, MVP checks if he means it, and wait! The rest of the Hurt Syndicate is here! The fans fire up as Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin bring their AEW World Tag Team Championships to the ring. Lashley looks MJF right in the eyes while the fans again sing the song, “We Hurt~ People!”
And then Lashley offers a handshake! MJF asks if Lashley means that, and he says up top! But then Lashley explains that he wants the card. What? The card, Max. Hand it over. MJF says okay, here. MJF gives the card back to Lashley, and then Lashley looks to MVP and Shelton. Lashley hands MVP his belt to hold, and then he RIPS UP THE CARD! MJF says okay, does Lashley wanna go? They can do this now! MVP says no, no, they’re cool. MJF asks MVP what’s going on. He thought they were cool. MVP says yeah, they’re cool, they’re cool. He has Lashley stand down, and MJF says okay, they can talk later.
MJF steps out, the fans boo, and even MVP seems a bit unsure why Lashley pulled MJF’s card. MVP says business never sleeps, and that they know they can trust him. But wait! Bryan Keith & Big Bill walk out here? The Bad Apple tells everyone to hold on. “So I guess it is true. Hurt people do in fact hurt people. But don’t worry, we ain’t out here to join your little group therapy session. We got real business to attend to!” Bill takes the mic, but MVP tells him to get his “lil’ b*tch” back on the leash so the men can talk. Bill keeps Keith calm, and he says he sees the Hurt Syndicate standing in the ring with the tag titles, but he doesn’t see a challenger. MVP says, “Me neither!”
Bill wants to tell MVP something. MVP wants to run his mouth? MVP wants to come out here with his cane and his business cards, but Bill can’t tell if he’s American Psycho or Iceberg Slim. Is he a pimp or a businessman? MVP says he’s a bit o’ both, and he’ll make his boys turn The Learning Tree into their b*tches if Bill keeps running his mouth. Bill says all he sees is a chump, and the MVP of being Lashley’s b*tch. No, we established who the b*tch was, but if Bill wants to go on about this… Bill says they should talk over the tag team titles. Bill was once a tag team champion, and he was never pinned nor never submitted for those titles!
Bill’s partner got pinned by Sting, and then Sting ran off and retired before ever granting Bill a rematch. Shelton says they don’t care! Bill says how about this. He and Keith need to prove themselves to Jericho, so Bill will take his rematch, so that The Learning Tree will take those titles! MVP laughs, and says Bill’s a comedian. But since Bill and his “girlfriend” want a shot, they should actually win a match! Then they can talk about an opportunity for the titles. MVP goes to leave, Lashley stares down Bill, and then the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Who will The Redwood have to take down to prove he and the Bad Apple are ready for this fight?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm.
Renee Paquette is with La Mera Mera & the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, and brings up tonight’s main event. #ThunderStorm reunites for the first time in three YEARS, and they take on Penelope Ford and Toni’s future challenger, Megan Bayne. Yes, Toni remembers it well. They were so young, so unafraid. Nothing’s really changed. Rosa says no, everything has changed. Toni’s certainly changed! She has a butler now! And let’s not forget, the last time they worked together, Toni knocked Rosa out and tried to erase the face paint off Rosa’s face. Oh, we all make mistakes in the heat of passion.
Well, then make no mistake. Because Rosa wants what she never lost. Toni tells Rosa, “Enough of this gay banter. Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, you two slop tarts are about to get double teamed like you’ve never dreamed!” Rosa plays along and says yes! Tonight, the games are over! Tonight, they fight! Tonight, you meet the team of… THUNDER TITS! W-What? No, it’s Thunder Storm. Not anymore! Strap yourselves in, girls, it’s gonna be a bumpy night. Well, whatever the team name, will Thunder & Storm strike down The Megasus & Superbad Girl?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Brody King!
The Protostar may have lost to Will Ospreay at Revolution, but he’s ready to redeem himself and rise back up the ranks. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down this Hound of Hell? Or will Kyle come to understand why Brody is the King of Death?
Callis doesn’t join commentary, they don’t have the equipment ready, so he just throws Schiavone’s own notes at him. The fans tell Callis off, then they cheer on Brody. Kyle claims he needs a second with his tearaway pants, but then he BOOTS Brody instead! The ref rings the bell, Kyle fires off stomps, but he stops at 4. Kyle soaks up the heat, then OFF COME THE PANTS! Kyle flexes, but Brody stalks up behind him! The fans bark, Callis tells Kyle to turn around. Kyle soaks up more heat, but then he turns around into a CHOP! Brody drags Kyle up, CHOPS him again, and Kyle goes to a corner. Brody fires forearms again and again to sit Kyle down!
Brody digs his boot in, the ref counts, and Brody stops. Kyle flops out of the ring and St. Paul cheers Brody on. Brody paces while he waits on Kyle, and Callis gives Kyle a shoulder rub.

Kyle sputters, but he KNEES low! Kyle fires knee after knee into Brody, then soaks up the heat. Kyle stands Brody up, but Brody CHOPS again! And again! And again! Kyle BOOTS in return! Kyle whips, but Brody blocks again! So Kyle ROCKS Brody with a forearm! Kyle whips, Brody reverses, but Kyle ducks ‘n’ dodges! Only to run into a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans fire up while both men are down, and a standing count starts already. Brody rises at 4 of 10, the fans bark, and Kyle sputters back up. Brody LARIATS Kyle back down! And LARIATS him again! And then CHOPS! Kyle rebounds, into a BACKDROP!
The fans fire up as Kyle flounders out of the ring. Brody slashes his throat, builds speed, and DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Kyle! The fans lose their minds, that was literally the biggest tope possible! Brody stands Kyle up, whips him back into barriers, and Kyle takes a seat in the corner.

But Brody still fireman’s carries! APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! Both men fall to the floor, the fans lose their minds, and Dynamite goes picture in picture again.
Kyle checks his arms to make sure they’re working, and Brody also stirs. Callis and the ref argue, but there was nothing illegal about what Brody did. The ring count starts, Callis seems to still complain about stuff, and both men are slowly rising at 5 of 10. Brody stands at 7, rolls in, and Kyle stands at 8! Kyle lunges in at 9! The ref checks with Kyle to make sure he’s still in this, and Kyle nods as he slowly sits up. Kyle shakes out the stars going around his head, and Brody hobbles over to him. Brody stands Kyle up, ROCKS him, and Kyle staggers back to the ropes. Brody eggs Kyle on, and Kyle rises back up.
Kyle winds up to ROCK Brody! Brody ROCKS Kyle, and Kyle drops to a knee! Kyle rises to fire another forearm, but there’s far less behind it.

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Mark Davis w/ Don Callis!
Dynamite returns as referees, security, and even Christopher Daniels are keeping Hobbs and Davis apart. It seems that AEW officials still need to work out the change in the schedule, they were hoping to do this match a little later. Meanwhile, Callis is finally on commentary to complain that Hobbs was going to assault him, a non-wrestler. Hobbs and Davis storm into the ring, despite the wishes of the refs and Fallen Angel. But fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Daniels tries to talk Davis and Hobbs down, but Davis and Hobbs just throw security out of the way! Daniels says fine, let’s do it now!

Hobbs just handled town bidness, but Callis says of course Hobbs won, he got the jump on everyone coming in from the crowd! Callis’ excuses aside, Hobbs dunked Dunkzilla, and the Callis Family is 1-1 with one more to go! Will Hobbs finally move on from his past? Or will Callis not rest until the Powerhouse is demolished?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
Lexy Nair is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & “Mother Shayna,” but Christian Cage is conspicuous by his absence. Lexy specifically wants to ask Nick this: We’ve seen a big shift in Nick’s attitude both back and forth. He confronted Christian Cage on his excuses about Revolution, but then costs Adam Copeland the title last Wednesday. What is going on with The Patriarchy? Nick says things are starting to make sense to him as to why Christian did what he did at Revolution. But he will wait to speak his thoughts for when he and Christian are face-to-face.
As for last Wednesday, that just goes to show what happens when they’re all on the same page. “And how to properly… I repeat, properly execute a plan.” Nick heads out, Mother Shayna smiles and follows, and Kip… Well, he’s quiet but he still follows the Waynes out. Is The Patriarchy’s Prodigy proving he can be the man of the house?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is with The Cowboy, and notes that last week, he officially entered his name for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The winner of that tournament will challenge for the AEW World Championship at All In: Texas. Now, AEW is in St. Paul tonight, site of- Oh, wait, Swerve Strickland storms in! He knows he only just recovered from the busted eardrum, but did he just hear right that Hangman wants in on Swerve’s world title? Hangman says, “B*tch, did I stutter?” Swerve tells Hangman to not dare even try it! Swerve will end him and he knows what Swerve is capable of! Prince Nana has Swerve stand down, Swerve has his own business to handle.
Swerve and Nana leave, and Hangman snarls. Will Hangman not only win the Owen Hart Cup this year, but finally take back the AEW World Championship? And will it be Swerve who meets him in Texas?
Exclusive sit-down interview with Rated FTR.
It was earlier today that Tony Schiavone sat down with Adam Copeland, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, and notes that the friendship between these three has been a lot deeper than what we’ve seen on camera. They’re basically next door neighbors, Cope has been responsible for some of FTR’s biggest breaks in their careers. Dax already frowns and shakes his head. Dax apologizes but he wants to interrupt here. He feels that he must address the elephant in the room. Last week, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. He owes both Adam and Cash an apology for what happened.
Dax just felt that FTR took a break from their goals, their focus, the AEW World Tag Team Championships, for four months, all to help Cope realize his goal of being AEW World Champion. After two tries, it did not happen, which just frustrated Dax. Cope has Dax stop there. The way Dax positioned that, it sounds like Cope is the one who pulled them away from the tag titles. Cope came back to help FTR against the Death Riders after they put bags over FTR’s heads and beat them down. That’s how this all started. It was not Cope’s intention to pull FTR away from anything.
Dax knows, he’s just saying, that’s why he has to apologize. Dax let his emotions get to him, and so he wanted to explain the preface. He just felt that FTR took their eyes off the prize, they were directionless for four months, and it had nothing to do- Cash speaks up now. Cash knows they’ve all let their emotions get the better of them. Cash cannot watch Dax and Cope fight like this while he’s caught in the middle of it. Everyone knows Dax and Cash are best friends, they’ve teamed together for the better part of 11 years. But maybe people don’t know as much about the friendship of Cope and Cash, everything Cope has done for Cash.
Without either of these men, Cash has nothing. When Cash was struggling, nowhere to live, sleeping in his car, Cope gave him a place to live and to be without worry so he could pursue all of this. Cope gave Cash chance after chance, Dax was there for those opportunities, so without either one, Cash doesn’t have this, he isn’t here right now. So he just wants himself and his two best friends to all be on the same page. Dax says t hat’s why he had to apologize. Dax took it too far last week, but he does think that now that they’ve helped Cope realize his goals and done their part, it is time for FTR to get back on theirs.
Dax tells The Hurt Syndicate that the AEW World Tag Team Championships- Cash stops Dax again, and says Cash feels there is still something here. Rated FTR has a lot of life left, and Cash would love if they went after the Trios Championships one more time, to see if they can stop The Death Riders. Cope agrees there. If there’s juice in the tank, then let’s do it. Cope tells The Death Riders, April 6th, Death Riders VS Rated FTR for the Trios Championships. Dax does like the sound of that. #TopGuysOut! Cope adds #RatedFTROut. Cash likes that.
So while Cope could not dethrone Jon Moxley, can he and FTR still free the AEW World Trios Championships? Or will there be no end to the reign of terror?
Swerve Strickland heads to the ring!
St. Paul fires up for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve grabs the mic and says, “Everybody knows exactly why I’m here. I’m here to call out Jon Moxley! Not the Death Riders, the AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley. You better get your ass down here right now and look me eye to eye, man to man, if you’ve got the balls to do so!” The fans fire up, the Death Riders’ theme hits, and The Maniac makes his way through the crowd. Swerve keeps his eyes on Moxley as he draws closer. Nana steps out as Moxley steps in, and Swerve tells Moxley, “I’ve been allowing things to go on like this for far too long.”
People have been asking since October as to why Swerve hasn’t been going after his AEW World Championship. Swerve says he likes to give people just enough rope to hang themselves, and that’s Moxley. Swerve tells him, “Look at you. What happened to you? Jon Moxley used to be revered here in AEW! You and the AEW World Championship used to be synonymous with each other. Now look at you. You hide behind Claudio, you hide behind Wheeler Yuta, you hide behind Pac. Hell, you even hide behind Marina Shafir.” The fans start up another chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Swerve says Moxley still has the nerve to say no one else wants to be world champion. But Moxley isn’t even worthy of it himself! And to be honest, Swerve thinks the reason Moxley hides the title in the briefcase is because he can’t even look at it. He can’t even face himself with that on his shoulder any more. Swerve says every time Moxley has a title defense, he narrowly escapes. And last week, he showed the world that. Oh, by the way, how’s Moxley’s back feeling? Moxley smirks, and Swerve says everything about Moxley that he used to be, is standing right here looking at him. The fans cheer Swerve on while Moxley nods.
But CLAUDIO IS BEHIND NANA! The fans freak out, and Moxley smirks. Swerve looks over and sees Claudio! Nana still doesn’t notice, but he starts to sense something’s wrong. Moxley says it’s fine, we’re all chill. And that all sounded great, if you believe it. But this isn’t about Moxley, this is about Swerve. April 6th is really Swerve VS Swerve. It isn’t about Moxley, stop worrying about Moxley. Moxley wants Swerve to ask himself, “Who are you, really? What are you really?” Moxley knows. He listens and watches, hears everything and sees everything, so he knows everything. He knows exactly who and what Swerve is, and he knows what Swerve could be.
And damn, has Moxley had high hopes for Swerve. But he has been disappointed before. On April 6th, Moxley gives Swerve a chance to step in and become everything that he can be. He just has to ask himself one question: “How far am I willing to go?” Not tonight, not just April 6th, but every night. When it is cold and dark and you’re in pain and you’re tired. When the world is baring down on your shoulders and you have no friends left. When everyone else is gone and you have the weight of the entire world on your shoulders. Will you endure? Will you put one foot in front of another? Or will you look for a way out? Will you take others with you?
There are a lot of questions Swerve has to ask himself. Swerve is not what he thinks he is, because he has not suffered enough yet! But he will. “My sport has been taken over by billionaires, Hollywood talent agencies and kids who see the world through an Instagram filter and don’t know their head from their ass! It’s guys like you that give me hope for the future. It’s guys like you that make me think everything I’ve put my mind and my body and my soul through was for a reason.” Fans do seem to like that. Moxley says he won’t give it to Swerve, though. He doesn’t care what kind of “punk ass organization they’re running around here.”
Moxley does not give handouts, so how far is Swerve willing to go? Moxley will go the whole way right now! But that shouldn’t be a problem for Swerve, Swerve is the Most Dangerous Man in AEW, right? Moxley and Swerve circle, but that lets Marina Shafir sneak in! BUT WILLOW APPEARS! Marina has a crowbar, Willow has a pipe, so it is a standoff on the apron! Swerve asks Moxley what’s wrong. Is he finally facing off with someone smarter than him? So let’s get this straight: Moxley wants to talk “unscripted violence” BS? Swerve IS violence! Moxley’s bled pints, Swerve’s bled buckets. Moxley’s been in Texas Death Matches, Swerve’s WON them.
Swerve IS the Most Dangerous Man in AEW! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” “And in Philadelphia in 11 days, I take back that AEW World Championship, and I continue to lead the Dynasty Era! And while I’m doing that, you can have fun continuing to play Jon Moxley on TV.” Mic drop! The fans fire up again as Swerve and Moxley stare down. It is quite the standoff here, so Moxley has the Death Riders stand down. The clock is ticking, are Moxley’s days as champion numbered? Wait, Marina YANKS Willow down! Marina fires off on Willow, but Willow RAMS Marina into the barriers! Claudio gets Marina out of there, Nana tries to help, but Willow shoves Nana aside!
Willow goes after Marina, even as Claudio carries Marina away! The fans fire up but The Death Riders drag Marina back but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Marina is a Problem, but will the Babe with the Power be a problem solver?
The Opps commandeer a camera!
Been a minute since this has happened, but Katsuyori Shibata films while he follows Samoa Joe & Hook. Joe asks Hook a question: last week, Hook sunk in that Redrum for a little bit of time. Is there anything behind that? Nah, just having fun. Fun? Hook smirks and says c’mon. It was Max Caster, a super annoying guy, it’s fun to choke him out. Joe says aight. Anyway, look who it is! Caster is trying to convince AR Fox & Top Flight to all go solo like he did. Shibata slips around so we can see Joe & Hook walk up behind Caster. Caster talks trash on Anthony Bowens, how Bowens is doing nothing after The Acclaimed broke up.
Wow, really, Caster? What? The fans are literally chanting his name! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” They don’t believe that for a second. Caster then spots Shibata and asks what’s up. Joe snatches Caster into the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Joe puts Platinum Max right to sleep, and then dusts himself off. And then he tells Hook he gets it now. They shake hands, and Joe says what’s up, hometown boys! The Opps shake hands with Top Flight, and say have a good night. Hook says, “To the death.” Shibata’s text-to-speech says, “I see what you did there.” When Caster wakes up, will he realize he really needs to watch what he says?
Backstage interview with Jay White.
Renee is with the Switchblade and says he took a particular interest in Will Ospreay and Hangman Page entering the Men’s Owen Hart Cup. White has history with both men, so where does he stand on this? White says those are some big names. He thinks we should add his name to that, so what better time than now? Jay White officially declares for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Last year didn’t work out too well, White losing to Hangman for the first time ever, mostly thanks to Hangman’s “buddy,” Christian Cage. And then White ended up injured, out for four months.
But this year, White will win the cup, go on to All In: Texas, and once again have a shot at the AEW World Championship! And if Hangman or #BillyGoat are lucky enough to cross paths with The Switchblade, so be it. But before we get there, there are plenty of other players backstage that would love to differ with him. How about one of the ORIGINAL Collision Cowboys return to Collision this Saturday. If there’s someone who thinks they’re more deserving of a spot than White, show up and state your case to The Switchblade. White aims his finger gun, who will accept this Open Challenge?
Top Flight w/ AR Fox VS Alex Findley & Devo Knight!
Darius & Dante Martin get a hero’s welcome as the hometown boys for Minnesota! But Lio Rush & Action Andretti are ringside, hoping this homecoming is a horrible one. Will Top Flight win one for Minneapolis? Or will they not like the taste of the Royal Flavuh?
The teams sort out, Darius starts against Devo, and the fans fire up with the bell. Darius and Devo circle, Devo waistlocks but Darius switches to SLAM! Darius then hooks Devo, turns him over to a cover, ONE! Darius spins away from Devo’s sweep, then headlocks. Devo powers up and out, Darius CLOBBERS him, and then brings him up to wrench and CHOP! Devo sputters, but Darius whips him to the corner. We see Big Bill & Bryan Keith are watching this backstage, perhaps scouting a team they can beat to then go after the Hurt Business. Darius runs in at Devo but Devo pops Darius up. Dante tags in, Darius CHOPS Devo, and Dante A-LIST LARIATS!
Darius tags back in, snap suplexes Devo down, then kips up to tag Dante. Dante slingshot SENTONS! The fans fire up but here comes Alex! Dante catches Alex and spins him, Top Flight gives him the LARIAT STO COMBO! Dante TOSSES Alex, then drags Devo up. Devo JAWBREAKERS back, then runs up. Dante ducks the lariat to waistlock, but Devo elbows him away. Dante goes to the ropes, Devo runs up, btu Dante ELBOWS him! Tag to Darius, then Dante goes up and over! Dante eggs Devo on, then blocks his shot for a JAWBREAKER of his own! Darius runs up to DECK Devo, then he BLASTS Alex!
Darius fires haymaker after haymaker on Devo, then whips. Devo reverses, but Darius gets under to atomic drop! Not the cleanest, but Darius hurries to BULLDOG HOTSHOT, and GAMANGIRI! The fans fire up for Darius as he steps in, COMPLETE SHOT! Alex hurries in and he breaks the cover! Dante whips Alex, Alex reverses, but then Dante slips outside! Alex hits buckles, Dante goes up and around to GAMANGIRI! Then springboard and CROSSBODY! The fans are fired up again, and Darius CHOPS Devo. Darius whips but Devo reverses. Devo runs up but Darius BOOTS him down! Tag to Dante and Darius SUPERKICKS Devo!
Dante SHOTGUNS Devo into the GERMAN SUPLEX from Darius! Devo flounders, Darius brings him up again. Dante climbs, Darius hits a SHELL SHOCK, then Dante hits the MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, Top Flight wins!
Winners: Top Flight, by pinfall
A great win for the hometown heroes, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan! Top Flight will face Bill & Keith for Collision in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Will The Redwood & Bad Apple sour things for Top Flight to then have their shot at the Hurt Syndicate? As for The Cru, they bark at Top Flight, still wanting their own fight. Will Darius & Dante give Lio & Action more than they bargained for in the near future?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“Ever since I came into AEW, the game has dramatically changed. It is time for me to move AEW into a new generation. Tony Khan is looking for the best in the world, and there’s only one person that fits that criteria, and it’s me. When you hear, ‘This is where the best wrestles,’ nah, bruv. This is where Billy wrestles. This is about restoring the feeling, and bruv, I AM the feeling!” The Aerial Assassin will return to Dynamite next week in Peoria, Illinois, but how will he sharpen that edge before the Owen Hart Tournament begins?
Mark Briscoe VS Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis!
The Sussex County Chicken fought alongside Will Hobbs against The Don Callis Family last week, but it was the Alpha that ate. Will the NEVER Openweight Champion make sure the Callis Family ends tonight up 2-1? Or will Briscoe #ManUp and have some redemption?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Briscoe. Callis claims he wasn’t going to come out again, but he was listening to Schiavone’s commentary and felt he was struggling so he’s here to help. The fans just tell Callis off again while Briscoe and Konosuke circle. The two feel things out, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Konosuke powers up and out, then RAMS shoulders!

Briscoe goes up the corner while the fans cheer on “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” Konosuke flounders, Mark reaches the top, and FROGGY-BOW FLOPS as Konosuke moves! GERMAN SUPLEX! Briscoe rises up!? And he LARIATS Konosuke down! Cover, TWO!! Konosuke survives, Callis storms off commentary, and he pounds the apron. The ref warns Callis, but Briscoe hauls Konosuke up. Konosuke fights the underhooks, wrenches out, and he ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe ROCKS Konosuke! The forearms go back and forth, then Briscoe fires a flurry! Briscoe runs, but into a BOOT! Konosuke runs, but into a clinch! EXPLODER!
The fans fire up as Briscoe has Konosuke again. Konosuke fights with elbows, and he EXPLODERS in return! But Briscoe is up to EXPLODER! Konosuke is up to EXPLODER! Both men stagger to their feet, POWER-DRIVE KNEE OUTTA NOWHERE!! Cover, TWO?!? Briscoe survives, Callis asks what the hell, but Konosuke winds up this time. Briscoe rises, but he ducks the lariat! Briscoe kicks, underhooks, and JAY DRILLER!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!! Konosuke’s long legs save him by a literal foot! The fans boo but Callis is relieved. Briscoe fires up and vows to end this! Briscoe puts Konosuke up top, “This is Awesome!”
Briscoe CHOPS Konosuke on the back! Briscoe then torture racks Konosuke, but Konosuke fights free! ALPHA ELBOW! And then the elbow pad is off, ROLLING ELBOW! RAGING FIRE!! Cover, KONOSUKE WINS!
Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall
The Callis Family ends the night 2-1 as Konosuke powers through! Will the NEVER Openweight Champion continue to establish himself as the Alpha of not just AEW, but of the world?
The Death Riders speak.
Wheeler Yuta says, “Rated FTR wants to challenge us to a World Trios Championship match at Dynasty. Dax & Cash, I already hate your guts. But Cope, you’re the most sinister of all. You tried to rip me away from my family. You tried to manipulate me! My family is much stronger than yours.” Claudio tells Rated FTR, “You guys are pathetic. The going gets tough, you bicker and start throwing hissy fits. Is this Kindergarten?” Pac says, “Gentlemen, it’s your arrogance, it’s your cockiness, that we really find hard to stomach. You see, after everything that you’ve done to us in previous weeks, it is you who has the audacity to challenge us?
“Nah. That’s not how things work around here. At AEW Dynasty, it is we that challenge you! We challenge you to survive the Death Riders.” The Decoder, the Swiss Cyborg & the Bastard have given their answer, will no one stop the Death Riders from building their Dynasty?
Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Alicia Atout caches up with MVP, Lashley & Shelton and wants to ask them about MJF. Is he in or is he out? Lashley asks for just a moment, please. Alicia steps aside, and Lashley says MVP told them to take a vacation, and then they see MVP hugging it out with MJF?! What’s that about? MVP wants them to understand. After that performance at Revolution, they earned that time off. MVP doesn’t get time off, he had to come to work, because business never stops, money never sleeps. Now, they’ve been talking about adding a fourth member for some time, and MVP made MJF an offer. What’s the problem?
So MVP likes MJF? Yeah. Okay, but this is MJF. The kid’s got a reputation. Shelton & Lashley don’t like it. MJF is grimy, slimy, and not to be trusted. Everyone says that about him. MVP says yeah, MJF has some reprehensible qualities. And that’s why MVP likes him! Those qualities could be good for their business. Now, they’re the Hurt Syndicate. If they really don’t want MJF in, MVP respects the dynamic, they can revisit this. But right now, let’s focus on the Big Bill situation. Are they all on the same page there? Call it. Let’s hurt people. The Syndicate heads out, but will they accept the Scumbag into the fold? Or will they find someone more suited to their business plans?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
With the trios title set for Dynasty, The Death Riders and Rated FTR send one man each for a showdown! Wheeler Yuta takes on Dax Harwood, will The Decoder be chopped down by Dax The Ax?

Winners: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, by pinfall
What a shocker! The Megasus just pinned the AEW Women’s World Champion! Ford celebrates with Megan, will the AEW Women’s World Championship soon belong to them?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Dynamite, really jampacked, but also maybe a little too packed? I believe the vast majority of the women’s tag match main event was in the overrun. I know this is all live TV and TNT/TBS lets them have the overrun, but clearly something went way too long if the main event is right before the two hour mark. That aside, still a great main event that also had a great promo from ThunderStorm/Thunder Tits. I knew it’d been a long time since Thunder & Storm were on the same side, but I didn’t realize it’d already been three YEARS. Either way, Megan winning here makes sense, Toni is logically the underdog champion. This is very much Toni’s Rocky VS Drago in Rocky 4, and I’m sure Toni will persevere and win just like Rocky Balboa.
Very good opening match from Omega VS Blake, but of course Omega was winning. I’m unsure why Lee Johnson is suddenly Blake Christian’s pal. Did something happen to the #LEEJ team-up with EJ Nduka? But good promos from Omega, Bailey and Ricochet to hype up their Triple Threat, and we’ve still got the go-homes to go, who knows who wins at Dynasty. Good promo from Jericho to call out Bandido while also talking down to Bill & Keith. I suppose I should’ve foreseen Jericho wanting Title VS Mask as the blowoff, that’s not a bad choice. But then all the more reason Bandido wins the title and sends Jericho off into a spiral where he gets mad at Bill & Keith more.
That said, Bill & Keith confronting The Hurt Syndicate is a bold move. MVP logically gives him the same deal he gave The Outrunners and The Murder Machines, and while Top Flight is good, I would think The Cru costs Dante & Darius their match this Saturday. Good win for Top Flight here in their home state, though it was of course against jobbers. Their segment with Fox, Caster and The Opps was really good stuff, too. I wonder if Caster calls out Joe as if he even stands a chance, all because of his arrogance as the self-proclaimed Best Wrestler Alive. Still waiting on Bowens to return and challenge Caster.
Back to the Hurt Syndicate, I’m intrigued with how they didn’t outright accept nor reject MJF. MVP wants to give MJF a chance, maybe something happens closer to Dynasty, and I’m not even really sure which works out better. Jay White had a good promo to declare for the Owen Hart Cup, and he’ll have a great match against Kevin Knight this Saturday. Swerve confronting Hangman before then confronting Moxley was good stuff. I’m sure I’ve said something like this before, but while Moxley always gets his promos out, he needs to get it out in more concise ways. The fans in St. Paul certainly weren’t in the mood for Moxley to monologue again. But they perfectly had that chess game going, with Claudio checking Nana while Willow checked Marina. That Mixed Tag will be a lot of fun.
Very good promo from Nick Wayne, but here’s hoping TK writes Patriarchy’s story right. Nick Wayne is making it sound like he’s siding with Christian, but since Nick wants to wait to share his thoughts, he must surely be waiting to turn on Christian. It needs to happen, we can’t have Nick going Stockholm Syndrome like Yuta did with Death Riders. Very good promo from Death Riders to call out Rated FTR, and Rated FTR had a very good promo of their own. Dax was rather passive aggressive about not becoming tag champs again while helping Cope fight the Death Riders, so I feel like the trios title causes FTR to turn on Cope.
The Don Callis Family sure did a lot tonight, and gave us three great matches. It makes sense the Callis Family went 2-1. Kyle beating Brody was fine, Kyle needed to rebound. But he didn’t give us an answer on what’s next for him like he promised on Collision. And where was Okada to harp on Brody King losing to him? Maybe that happens on Collision this week. Hobbs being the one loss the DCF took also makes sense, as Hobbs might still be feuding with them to get through all their ranks and build momentum towards a title. Konosuke VS Briscoe was awesome, and a great win for Konosuke given he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion. I wonder if Hobbs and Konosuke also get in on the Owen Hart Cup…

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-
NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE! They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!
Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?
Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY!

The fans rally, Harley-gram joins in with Abrahantes, and we get hot tags to Komander and Dralistico! Komander goes up, Dralistico ROCKS him first! Dralistico climbs up after Komander, fires shots, but Komander fires back! They go back and forth, even with CHOPS! Dralistico fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT, then brings Komander up! SUPER- NO, Komander slips free and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up again as Komander roars! Komander runs and goes up, up, and SUPER POISON-RANAS!! The fans are thunderous again, but Mortos scoops Komander!
Mortos hits the BEAST BREAKER!! Then he runs to FLYING ELBOW! Hologram runs in and goes up, then up to POISON-RANA! But Dralistico FLYING CRUCIFIX DRIVERS!! Komander is back to fire hands with Dralistico, and we get DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES!! Both men fall, but Komander falls onto Dralistico! Cover, TWO!! Dralistico survives and Omaha is electric!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10
