It’s the Forbidden Door Zero Hour!
Join Renee Paquette, RJ City, Rocky Romero & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, analyzing and predicting the action for this year’s crazy crossover!
The Acclaimed speak.
Billy Gunn says, “Alright, Forbidden Door. Long Island, New York. It’s Acclaimed and Hiroshi Tanahashi. Y’see, I called in some favors, I brought a President to deal with some EVPs. But tonight, I’m gonna sit in catering and cheer you guys on, watching the big screen.” Max Caster says, “The big screen?!” Billy confirms, the big screen! Caster says that’s right! Big screen for big stars, for the best wrestlers alive, for The Acclaimed and Tanahashi. Tanahashi, the best wrestler in Japanese history! Way better than Okada. Okada wants to call people “b*tch,” cut Caster’s mic, all that. Well, Okada’s WIFE is more famous than him, so who’s the real b*tch?
In Japan, Okada’s just Sailor Moon’s husband. In America, Caster’s the best wrestler alive! And tonight, Okada finds that out, BI*CH! Bowens gets fired up and says it is Forbidden Door. Acclaimed proved The Bucks can be beat! And they wanna bring their friend, Okada? Well they’ve got a friend, too! Tanahashi, the #ScissorAce! Bowens is gonna kick Okada so hard in his rainmaker, he’s gonna go crying all the way home to his studio apartment! But enough is enough. It is time for The Acclaimed & Ace to step through the Forbidden Door, to give an Elite ass kicking with 10 THOUSAND fans screaming, “EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed!”
Platinum Max & The Five Tool Player are ready to deal out L’s alongside President Ace, but will this be a happy ending for our heroes? Or will The Elite (The The Elite) abuse their authority?

Neither man has come this far to only come this far, but only one can be THE top guy in AEW! Will this still be Swerve’s House? Or is the #BillyGOAT about to reach new heights at Swerve’s expense?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, but only one can reign supreme!
The bell rings and the fans are already thunderous for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve smirks as he and Ospreay stare down from across the way. The fans chant for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this moment possible. The two tie up and go around, and then dig in their heels for a deadlock. The fans continue to chant, but Swerve finds a point of leverage to put Ospreay on ropes. The fans sing now for “Ospreay~ Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” The ref counts, Swerve lets off, and then Ospreay ROCKS him! Ospreay eggs Swerve on so Swerve says bet! They go forearm for forearm back and forth, faster and faster!
Ospreay kicks low, headlocks, but Swerve powers out. Ospreay RAMS Swerve, then bobs ‘n’ weaves to ROCK him! Ospreay whips, Swerve reverses but Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! Swerve handsprings through! And he RANAS, but Ospreay handsprings through! Ospreay ducks a kick, Swerve breaks the full nelson, but Ospreay blocks an elbow and Swerve blocks the hook kick! The fans are thunderous after that exchange! They chant for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” and the two reset. Swerve and Ospreay circle, feel things out, but then Swerve kicks low! Swerve BOOTS Ospreay, CLUBS him, then CLUBS him again.
Ospreay puts Swerve in a corner to CHOP! And CHOP! Ospreay ROCKS Swerve, CHOPS him, but then Swerve dodges one to CHOP back! Ospreay stands, Swerve whips and UPPERCUTS i the corner! Snapmare, Swerve goes up, but Ospreay kips up! The fans fire up and Swerve is annoyed that he was denied his target. Ospreay says just bring it, so Swerve hops down. Both men block a boot, but then Swerve BOOTS again! Swerve whips, Ospreay stops himself and tosses Swerve out to BOOT him down! The fans fire up while Swerve staggers around. Ospreay gets fans to chant “BRUV! BRUV! BRUV!” PLANCHA and down goes Swerve!
The fans are thunderous and Ospreay grins. Ospreay goes to fetch Swerve, ROCKS him, and the fans duel again. Ospreay stalks Swerve around the way to CHOP him against barriers! Ospreay ROCKS Swerve, reels him in, and puts him on the apron. Ospreay has Swerve in the ropes to throw more hands, then he gets space. Ospreay tells the cameraman to follow this. DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Ospreay storms in to then drop a knee on Swerve’s head! Swerve grits his teeth as he stands up, but Ospreay ROCKS him! Swerve hits back, Ospreay eggs him on. Swerve fires more shots, Ospreay CHOPS him down!
Ospreay CHOPS Swerve and Swerve falls! Ospreay jokes that he has Swerve’s heart in his hands, and he takes a bite out of it. Ospreay whips, Swerve reverses, but Ospreay goes up and over. Ospreay CHOPS, goes up, but Swerve YANKS him down! Then a snapmare to the FALLING UPPERCUT! And Swerve hits the Griddy! Swerve still feels the stinging in his chest, but he gets Ospreay up. Swerve turns Ospreay to the NECKBREAKER! Then a gator roll for another turn, and another NECKBREAKER! Another gator roll, and Swerve puts Ospreay in the ropes. Swerve turns Ospreay again, for a NECKBREAKER HOTSHOT!
Ospreay flops over, Swerve taunts the Ospreay fans, and then Swerve drags Ospreay around to drop a KNEE on the neck! Swerve CHOPS Ospreay back down, Nana says open him up! Swerve clamps onto Ospreay with a chinlock, then a neck wrench. Ospreay endures, the fans rally, and Ospreay fights up and around. Swerve hooks Ospreay up, chinbar and stretch! Ospreay endures, pries Swerve’s hand away, but Swerve turns Ospreay again. Ospreay elbows free, ROCKS Swerve, then ROCKS him again. Ospreay winds up but Swerve JABS! Swerve BOOTS Ospreay, whips him, but Ospreay handsprings to NEURALIZER KICK!
Swerve flounders out and Ospreay sees that. Ospreay hurries over and PLANCHAS, but Swerve dodges! Swerve kicks low, whips, but Ospreay LEAPS over the barrier! Ospreay waves, ROCKS Swerve, then jumps, but Swerve trips him up! Ospreay hits barriers on the way down, and then Swerve goes back for him. Swerve drags Ospreay up, then stands on the barriers. Swerve brings Ospreay up to join him, reels him in, and the fans freak out. Ospreay fights but Swerve CLUBS him on the back. Ospreay SUPER STEINERS Swerve to the floor! Ospreay hurries to get Swerve in, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Cover, TWO!
Swerve stays in this but Ospreay stays focused. “This is Awesome!” and Ospreay brings Swerve up. Swerve fights the lift, then he back drops! Ospreay is up to CHOP! Ospreay whips, pops Swerve up to HOTSHOT him, then runs. Swerve blocks the boot to slip around and BACKBREAKER! Nana says this is it, time to put him out! The fans rally, Swerve rises, and Swerve drags Ospreay up. Ospreay swings, Swerve ducks and shoves to HIP TOSS into the ARMBAR! Ospreay flails, Swerve shifts to a short arm scissor! Ospreay fights around, the fans rally, and Ospreay kicks his way over. Swerve grabs the legs to hold Ospreay back!
Ospreay still kicks and kicks, and he gets a ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Swerve lets go at 4, and Ospreay clutches his arm. The fans rally again and Swerve goes back to Ospreay. Swerve kicks Ospreay around, almost toying with him. Ospreay glares at Swerve as the kicks keep coming. Swerve fires forearms now, but Ospreay gets in Swerve’s face! Ospreay fires a forearm, Swerve fires back, and the fans rally as they go faster and faster! Ospreay shakes out the cobwebs to fire a flurry! And an UPPERCUT! Ospreay runs, but Swerve UPPERCUTS back! Swerve runs, but Ospreay TIGER WALL KICKS, only for Swerve to duck the enzigiri!
Ospreay avoids the House Call, Swerve avoids Hidden Blade! Swerve UPPERCUTS, whips, and jumps, but Ospreay catches him for a POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO, but right into the STYLES CLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Not quite phenomenal but Ospreay hurries to BUZZSAW! And HEEL KICK! Daniel Garcia is watching from the crowd, Ospreay springboards but so does Swerve! FLYING KILLSTOMPS!?! We get a better look at Daniel Garcia watching this, he wants Ospreay to bring both belts to their Beach Break showdown. The fans rally up as both men rise up. Ospreay and Swerve rise up, and Swerve BOOTS Ospreay to the apron!
Swerve snarls, drags Ospreay up through the ropes, and then gives him Kawada Kicks! Swerve runs, but Ospreay avoids the leap! Swerve handsprings through but Ospreay PENALTY KCIKS!

Swerve storms over to join Ospreay on the apron, and he gets Swerve up. Ospreay fights the lift!
Swerve CLUBS Ospreay, suplexes, but Ospreay slips around for a SLEEPER! Then HOOK KICK! Swerve wobbles, Ospreay goes up the ropes, but Swerve dodges! Ospreay crashes on the apron!! Swerve goes up top, but Ospreay flops off the apron. Swerve is annoyed being denied again, but he just adjusts his aim! SUPER FLYING KILLSTOMPS onto the Spanish announce desk!!! The fans are losing their minds over the most devastating stomps yet!! Ospreay flops to the floor and Swerve hobbles after him. Swerve drags Ospreay up and into the ring, but then reconsiders. He brings Ospreay to barriers!
Swerve drags Ospreay up onto the barriers, and he hits the BARRIER PILEDRIVER!!! Swerve gets what he wanted before, and then he gets Ospreay in the ring, for SAVING GRACE!! Cover, TWO?!?!?

He is going against Ospreay’s wishes of letting him do this alone, but then he brings out the screwdriver! Ospreay says no, he doesn’t wanna! Nana grabs Don, Don shoves Nana! Don says now or never!
Nana SHOVES Don and the fans are fired up! Ospreay gets mad at Nana, and he threatens Nana with the screwdriver! But then Ospreay realizes what he’s doing, and Nana even begs for mercy.

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Don Callis’ presence aside, Swerve showed Ospreay that he really wasn’t ready for both worlds. At least, not yet. Doc Sampson checks Ospreay, but he sits up on his own. Swerve shows Ospreay respect for how hard they pushed each other. Kyle Fletcher has also made it ringside, showing moral support for his former team captain and good friend. Will Ospreay be able to turn around and be ready for Beach Break and his International Championship defense? And who will be next to step up to Swerve’s House come All In?
My Thoughts:
An incredible Forbidden Door, and for being a total of 5 and a half hours, it really flew by. Great matches as always, but at the same time, not a whole lot of surprises as far as results or appearances. Them throwing Fletcher VS Serpentico onto the Zero Hour was a bit odd but I suppose they just wanted to establish A) he was here, and B) he was no longer ROH World TV Champion. But great stuff in the Zero Hour Fatal 4 Way Tag, great win for Malakai & Brody. Really good women’s tag, and maybe on some level Willow & Tam winning was a surprise, if only because this feeds into the go-home math on Willow VS Kris in the Owen Hart Cup. Willow winning here doesn’t necessarily mean she loses to Kris, but I’d be surprised if Willow defies the math here.
Very good Women’s Owen Hart Cup match here with Mariah of course going over given the story they’ve been telling with her and Storm. And then a great Six Man Tag to close Zero Hour. Great win for Mistico & Lucha Bros, which was fine because Lucha Brothers are the AEW guys and Mistico is a CMLL guy, LIJ didn’t need to win here since it was just for fun. I just knew MJF would open the show in a really good match with Hechicero, but it probably could’ve been a bit more for MJF’s homecoming. Then we got a great Six Man Tag for The Elite VS Acclaimed & Tanahashi. It makes sense The Bucks & Okada win here to get even for Acclaimed beating The Bucks in the title eliminator, and it feels like they’ve now set up Okada VS Billy Gunn for the Continental Championship.
Bryan VS Takagi was awesome stuff, really giving us everything we could want for this dream match. But as I figured, Bryan won because he’s the AEW guy, he’ll face another AEW guy, and Takagi is gonna focus on the G1 Climax instead. It was just a great moment to have given Forbidden Door is the main crossover show. Though apparently NJPW is gonna change that by inviting everyone else to Japan with them finally doing something with Wrestle Dynasty, the PPV they wanted to do before, if not for COVID in 2020. That’ll be fun, with a lot of possibilities given we have until January to see how championships change hands and all that.
Great match from Storm and Mina, but the only surprise is that there were absolutely no shenanigans from Mariah. But in a way, that was for the better, as Mariah was frozen in place by how distraught she was seeing her two closest friends fighting so fiercely. Storm of course retains, but Mariah helps them all make pace and be a more solid group now. That said, it still feels like Mariah will find a way to win the Owen Hart Cup and face Storm in Wembley in the climax of this long term story. Cassidy VS ZSJ was awesome stuff because Cassidy got to show off that he can do technical wrestling, but I think I said the other night that ZSJ was gonna win. He evens the score with Cassidy, and we could get an equally great match for All In if they wanted.
Great Six Man Tag of Joe-Hook-Shibata VS Team Learning Tree. I didn’t think Jericho was taking the loss but Hook did great with his take on the Judas effect. That now more directly sets up the FTW Championship rematch for probably All In but I wouldn’t mind seeing it during July for a TV special like Fyter Fest or Fight for the Fallen. Same goes for Cobb VS Joe for the NJPW World TV Championship, that’d be a great 15 minute match right there. That ladder match, as ladder matches go, was pretty wild. They did good on making us think Dante did hurt his leg but luckily he wasn’t, though I’m surprised no one else got hurt with just how many tables and ladders were purposefully broken. But in the end, it is as expected, Jack Perry wins so that The Elite is truly golden going into Blood & Guts.
Very good stuff from Mone VS Vaquer but it could’ve been sharper to start. Maybe it was just them finding their rhythm as opponents. But New York turning on The Boss from Boston was really funny. At the same time, it does fit Mone’s character. Whether or not you think Mone’s a great wrestler, she certainly plays up her ego and that’s good Heel Heat. Mone of course won for the reasons I’ve been saying, i.e. Vaquer already has two CMLL belts, she doesn’t need more. But then I just felt it in my gut that Britt Baker would show up to step on Mone’s moment, those two are basically the perfect match-up of mic skills, in-ring skills and coming off smug about it, that’ll be some fun stuff going forward.
And both world title matches were great, though the IWGP World title match was a bit more methodical and slower paced than expected for the two involved. Great, logical win for Naito, there was nothing else that was gonna happen here really. Ospreay VS Swerve was just amazing, certainly the best match of the night, probably all month, and up there for match of the year. Great use of the whole ringside area, great ref bump, and of course Don Callis showed up to tempt Ospreay to the dark side. In a way that did cost Ospreay, because it feeds to Swerve’s point that Ospreay isn’t ready to sacrifice his own morality to do what it takes. Swerve didn’t hesitate, he won, but I do appreciate he showed Ospreay respect.
And as it stands, Ospreay VS Garcia is going to be great stuff, and I feel like we see the Don Callis Family and even MJF show up during then. Ospreay VS Garcia could go either way with such overbooking, and I could see Garcia winning to make his match with MJF at All In a match for the International Championship. Then Callis could be upset with Ospreay and Fletcher for how they both lost belts, he kicks them out of the family, Rush being a replacement for them both. It just feels like something has to lead to Ospreay & Fletcher breaking off from Don Callis and maybe even taking on Rush and Trent or Rush and Konosuke in a tag match.
My Score: 9/10

The truest, most basic battle has always been between right and wrong.
Two sides of a coin decide an entire future. But which side dictates righteousness? Is it a soldier of fortune? Or a soldier of ambition? A toxic entity? Or justified aggressor? Is it the revenge seekers? Or the perpetrators of the original sin? A devil or a god? No matter the side you stand, the only way to prove right or wrong is through the other side. Tonight, AEW builds its Dynasty!

Willow Nightingale speaks.
“Kamille, if you wanted a title shot, if you wanted a fight, all you had to do was ask. Because as so many other girls have already learned, if you wanna make a comeback at my expense, it’s not as easy as just blindsiding me. I will kill your comeback before it even gets out of the gate. I may not be 100%, but I will be clear this Wednesday. So if you wanna hop on the welcome wagon, Miss American Gladiator, I’ll see you at Spring Break Thru!” The Babe with the Power is going to get her payback, but will she keep her title? Or will there be a new Face of TBS?

Moxley bails out, Ospreay pursues, and Ospreay HAMMERS away on Moxley at the steel steps!
Ospreay climbs up, underhooks Moxley again, but Moxley fights free! Moxley CLAWS Ospreay’s face! Then he reels Ospreay in, PILEDRIVER on the steel!! Moxley shoves Ospreay over while the fans lose their minds! They tell Moxley he’s sick but the ref is more worried about Ospreay. Doc Sampson hurries over, too, and the ref starts a ring count. Ospreay clutches the neck and shoulder but Moxley says Ospreay doesn’t have what it takes! Ospreay is still down at 5 of 10, but he manages to sit up at 7! The fans rally as Ospreay flounders, but he’s still down! Wait, Ospreay springs in at 9.99!! But Moxley CURB STOMPS him down!!
Moxley underhooks, PARADIGM SHIFT!! And then PARADIGM SHIFT again!! Ospreay flounders but Moxley pushes him to the cover, TWO?!?! Ospreay is defiant, and Moxley is pleasantly surprised! But then he hits the DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (still AEW Continental Champion)
Ospreay fought valiantly, but perhaps he let Moxley hang around too long. Will anyone ever take this title from Moxley with the iron grip he has on it?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Renee Paquette is with the NEW #1 Contender to the AEW World Championship, and says his match with Andrade was insane! Darby was victorious, but now that he has his title shot, what’s he going to do? Darby asks if Renee knows where they’re gonna be on Wednesday. Dynamite will be in Everett, Washington. And where he started his career, the Buddy Wayne Academy, that was in Everett, Washington. If there was ever a time, it is this Wednesday. Darby lets Kenny and Max know that he’s watching tonight. And this Wednesday Night Dynamite, it’s showtime. The Relentless One is not a patient man, but will this Spring Break Thru be his breakthrough?

But will the Savage King, The Mad Man & 100 Proof survive the gamble? Or will they be the shortest-reigning trios champions in AEW history?
“The Conglomeration is filmed in front of a live wrestling audience.” Wait, what?

AEW World Championship: MJF VS Kenny Omega!
The Scumbag returned in time for World’s End to use his Casino Gauntlet Cash-In to take this title in the Fatal 4 Way. From there, his second reign has been much like the first, with shortcuts and underhanded tactics. He even went so far as to seal off Hangman Adam Page from this title forever! But now, the God of Professional Wrestling has his chance to set things right! Will The Devil pay for his sins? Or will Kenny Omega have to admit that Maxwell Jacob Friedman is better than him, and he knows it?
MJF leans heavily into his Devil personal with the throne rising up from underground and the heavy metal looking outfit. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who truly reigns on high!
For once, the ref thinks ahead, and he tells MJF to give up the Dynamite Diamond Ring! MJF reluctantly obliges, then the bell rings. The fans lose their minds already as they witness this dream rematch. MJF and Kenny step up, and MJF says it doesn’t matter how many fans cheer him on, it won’t win the match. MJF and Kenny circle, feel things out, and tie up. They’re in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally as the two circle. The fans taunt MJF with, “You Got Hair Plugs!” MJF tells the fans to shut up, then he and Kenny circle again. They tie up, Kenny rolls MJF up, TWO! MJF swings, misses, and Kenny Electric Chair Lifts!
MJF victory rolls through, TWO! MJF runs up, Kenny goes up and over, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges! Kenny goes up, steadies himself, and CROSSBODIES! MJF hurries to ropes, but he dodges Kenny! MJF has Kenny in place, but Kenny THROWS MJF away before the Heatseeker! Then Kenny aims, BANG, and- NO, MJF bails out before the V-Trigger! The fans boo, but MJF goes over the railing and walks it off. The fans boo, MJF tells them to shut up, then MJF takes his time going back to ringside. MJF says we’re on HIS time, then he steps into the ring. Kenny and MJF reset, and Kenny offers that handshake again.
MJF laughs, and he pie faces Kenny instead! Kenny shoves MJF, MJF CLAWS Kenny’s face! The fans boo but MJF soaks up heat. MJF runs, but into a RANA! MJF tumbles out, Kenny gets the Terminator Drums going, and he builds speed, but MJF just steps aside. MJF says he’s too smart for that, but then Kenny WERCKS MJF with a dropkick! And then PLANCHAS! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up! MJF scrambles away while Kenny high-fives fans. Kenny lines up a shot, runs in at MJF, but MJF drop toeholds Kenny onto a chair! MJF grins as he outsmarts Kenny on that one. MJF ROCKS Kenny, Kenny falls into the timekeeper’s area, and MJF soaks up the heat.
MJF stands Kenny up, but Kenny SLAPS MJF! Kenny hits at QUEBRADA using the barriers! The fans fire up again while Kenny stands back up. Then Kenny clears off the timekeeper’s table, and the fans cheer as he brings it around! The ref reprimands but Kenny apologizes, he has to do this. Kenny drops the table onto MJF, then DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS the table into MJF! The fans fire up as Kenny brings back a classic maneuver! Kenny then takes the table, sets it up nearby, but the ref says win this in the ring! Kenny rolls into the ring, but then rolls out, refreshing the count. The fans cheer as Kenny brings the table around.
Kenny makes sure the table is in just the right spot, then he brings MJF around. Kenny puts MJF on the table, HAMMERS away on him, then goes back to the ring. The fans cheer as Kenny climbs up the corner, but MJF rolls into the ring! The fans boo but Kenny just changes his trajectory, only for MJF to hit the ropes! Kenny is tripped up and falls to the mat! MJF stomps a mudhole in, then stands on the corner to soak up the heat. MJF drags Kenny up, scoops him, and SLAMS him! MJF clamps on a chinlock, grinds Kenny down, but the fans rally up as Kenny endures. Kenny fights to his feet, fires body shots, but MJF THROWS Kenny by his hair!
The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but MJF grins as he backs off. Kenny sits up slowly, goes to the corner, but MJF storms up on him. Kenny fires a BODY SHOT! And a HAYMAKER! Kenny fires more hands, then he reels MJF in. The fans fire up, but MJF fights the lift! Kenny CLUBS away on MJF’s back, then tries again. MJF still fights the lift, so Kenny stands MJF up to fire forearms and a CHOP! Kenny tries again, lifts, but MJF fights it to an Alabama Lift, and ALABAMA SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Kenny survives and MJF snarls. MJF drags Kenny up, puts him in a corner, and climbs up to rain down fists!
The fans boo instead of counting, but MJF does pelvic thrusts and throws middle fingers. Kenny YANKS MJF down, then he climbs up! The fans cheer and count along as Kenny rains down fists! Kenny goes to nine, winds up, but MJF atomic drops before ten! MJF whips, Kenny reverses, MJF goes up and over, but the knee jams! Kenny runs up but that was a trick! MJF steps over to PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO! Kenny survives and MJF grows frustrated, but then MJF copies Kenny! BANG and- NO, Kenny dodges the V-Trigger to SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Kenny reaches out and rises up.
MJF stands first, he runs up, but Kenny dodges to POLISH HAMMER! POLISH HAMMER! The fans fire up again s Kenny spins, but MJF kicks low! MJF whips, but Kenny redirects and dropkicks legs out! Kenny keeps moving, KOTARO KRUSHER! MJF staggers around, Kenny fireman’s carries, and “YOU! CAN’T! ESCAPE!” ROLLING SENTON, then Kenny goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Kenny smiles. The Terminator Drums start again, the fans join in, and Kenny builds speed! Kenny FLIES and down goes MJF at the ramp! The fans fire up again as Kenny stands tall!
Kenny drags MJF up, brings him around, and puts him in the ring. MJF crawls but Kenny slides in. Kenny Electric Chair Lifts, but MJF CLAWS Kenny’s eyes! MJF makes it to the corner, he aims, and PANAMA- NO, Kenny ducks, then he trips MJF up to CATAPULT him into the corner! MJF lands safe?! But then Kenny CLUBS MJF on the back! Kenny Electric Chair Lifts, then climbs up the corner! Kenny reaches up, but MJF slips free! MJF CLAWS Kenny’s back, then BITES him on the forehead!

The fans rally for Kenny but MJF has him in place, Kenny clicks his heels to fight free of the gut wrench! Kenny slips down, CLUBS MJF, then ROCKS him!

Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Whether you agree with the talk of Devil and God of AEW, it is very clear that MJF is a sinner for all the crimes he committed just to hold onto his gold! Will Kenny Omega ever have this world title again? As for MJF, he sits upon his throne, adorned with his twisted crown and “Triple B.” But will we see Darby Allin become a demon slayer when he challenges MJF in Seattle?
My Thoughts:
Another awesome PPV for AEW, though full to the brim as always. I wonder if AEW needs to let pressure off and not always have every single title defended at a PPV. Anyway, great Zero Hour stuff, and I certainly didn’t think they’d bring Kamille back quite like this, but going after Willow and the TBS title is great stuff for Kamille. They’ll have a great match, but something about this makes me think Kamille almost has to win or what was the point? Great match for Windsor VS Marina and a great win for Windsor. Perry VS Davis was very good, and rather outta nowhere, a bit to my point of AEW insisting every title be defended. Maya & Hyan VS Divine Dominion was really good, too, but of course status quo is kept on Zero Hour.
Awesome tag match from Okada & Konosuke VS Bucks, but of course the team of Okada & Konosuke fell apart. This builds towards not just Okada VS Konosuke but it could also build the Don Callis Family Civil War with the family split down the middle. I’m thinking Andrade could join Team Konosuke as Faces after his epic with Darby. Darby was of course winning this, given MJF was winning the main event. Andrade showing respect to Darby will not make Callis happy, but Andrade was already upset about the MJF business so it’d make sense. But I’m already worried it’s not gonna go Darby’s way if they’re doing it in the Seattle area and not on PPV…
Very good match from Jericho VS Ricochet, but Ricochet winning was quite the surprise. Though, if this ends up just like all other Jericho feuds, won’t he come back for more, drag this out, and then we get another match where Ricochet still wins? FTR VS Cope & Christian was great, and while FTR winning out wasn’t really surprising, FTR winning so suddenly kinda was. The Bucks winning their match, are we getting FTR VS Bucks again at Double or Nothing? Or are we getting the Triple Threat they kinda teased after Revolution? A Triple Threat would definitely be a way to protect FTR and C&C while Bucks get their historic fourth reign.
The Casino Gauntlet was once again awesome and unpredictable, and what an awesome win for Kevin Knight. Though, with it being at Bailey’s expense since he was in that Dragontamer, will that compel JetSpeed feuding on the way to Double or Nothing? At the very least, Ciampa going after Knight will give us an awesome match. Thekla VS Jamie was really good, but another sneaky win for Thekla might prolong this story to Double or Nothing. Windsor getting past Marina, I wonder if Windsor gets her shot at Thekla while Jamie watches her back.
Moxley VS Ospreay was awesome, but the go-home math definitely indicated Moxley was winning this. Ospreay hitting the Hidden Blades to start but he didn’t bother covering, that was their way of showing us Ospreay wasn’t winning. Ospreay was too focused on hurting Moxley, not winning a title, but I’m sure this story will continue. Conglomeration VS Dogs was really good, but it seems Gabe’s arm got legit hurt. Hopefully he’s alright, because this not only screws with AEW plans but with NJPW plans. But at the same time, I sensed The Dogs being transitional champions to The Conglomeration now that Kyle O’Reilly is back, great stuff for them.
And of course, go-home math came through on MJF VS Kenny. Kenny stood tall but he chose to NOT keep the Dynamite Diamond Ring for his own, that stupid thing came through for MJF again, and MJF retains. An awesome match all the same, and MJF just keeps building the heat, but again, hard to say if Darby actually wins out on Wednesday.
My Score: 9.2/10

Winners: The Dogs, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)
Bullet Club may be gone, but these Dogs are still here, and they now reign in AEW! But then Roderick Strong is on the tron to shout, “DOGS!! Congratulations on your victory. But I know you guys weren’t done with us, especially after what you did to us Wednesday. Now, I know there’s three of you and there is only two of us. But there just might be a third.” Orange Cassidy finishes a phone call and says yeah, there might. Okay, then what’d he say? Oh, Cassidy forgot to ask. He can just call back. Roddy says do it now! Cassidy redials and Roddy says they’ll see The Dogs on Sunday! See you there! The Dogs don’t sweat it, but who will be the third man, brother?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
The United Empire regrouped backstage, victorious from the Chaos in Canada, but Will Ospreay says, “Lemme get this straight, Jon Boy. Last week, you said there was six of you and only one of me. That’s funny, because I got a lot of friends over in Japan. Not even friends, brothers, guys that looked after my back since day one. Francesco Akira, one of the greatest Junior Heavyweight Tag wrestlers of all time. Henare, one of the toughest mother effers I’ve ever met in my entire life. This guy knocked out Gabe Kidd with one hand, bang, across his head, and a gash in his head that was about four centimeters.
“And this is my little brother, Callum Newman. You may recognize that (title on his shoulder). He is the youngest-ever IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Together, we’re the United Empire.” Callum says after Ryogoku, after winning the most prestigious title in all of pro-wrestling, Big Brother Billy took ’em all out to the bar, said he had a problem at work. Well, there’s one thing about the Empire: The ARE united. They’ve had their differences, they’ve had things going on, but it doesn’t matter where or when, The Empire stands together. They are a brotherhood! Damn right. And Jon, Sunday, Ospreay gets you all to himself.
No Death Riders, no United Empire, just them and the Continental Championship. And Moxley said he wont’ stand in the way of action and consequences. Good. Neither will Ospreay. The Aerial Assassin’s edge is sharpened, but will he be able to cut down The Maniac?
Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida VS Ava Lawless & Gigi Rey!
Both former AEW Women’s World Champions have been dealing with some frustrations over not winning titles. But these two go away back to the early days of AEW, so surely they can make a formidable tag team. Will this be the beginning of the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo? Or are they resting on their laurels even now?
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Ava. The fans cheer Ava on as a local favorite, but Shida fires off forearms! Shida ROCKS Ava and puts her in the corner.

Shida is stunned, because for one, she was about to finish Ava on her own a moment ago. But a win is a win, so maybe there’s something to #Krishida after all. Unless…?
Maya World & Hyan speak.
“In the world of professional wrestling, we consider ourselves opportunists.” This is Hyan, the Renaissance Woman, so you know she can do it all. And this is #ThatGirl, Maya World! When the lights shine bright, all eyes are on her! They’re also a couple Texas girls, so you know they love a good fight! The AEW Women’s Tag Division is stacked, and Divine Dominion are at the top. They may be bigger and stronger, but that never stops Maya & Hyan. At Dynasty, in the Zero Hour, Maya & Hyan are coming for the titles! Megan, Lena, you can clock that!
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
The Death Riders regrouped after that loss, but Moxley laughed it off and said that was so much fun. Chaos, tables breaking, bodies flying everywhere. They live for this! The Empire stepped into the Death Riders’ world and survived, congrats, good for them. But do they wanna do it again? Or do they want to never have to do that again? This is where Death Riders live! This is what they do, this is what they are! They thrive in the chaos, the live in the eye of the storm! No organization, not in AEW or NJPW or CMLL, nowhere else in this world, can they run with this group. No one can keep up with this group, not for long.
Others get tired, hurt, distracted, fall off, break. Will Ospreay is hellbent on breaking Moxley’s neck. So headstrong, so determined, so talented. Ospreay has done everything right in his career. Maybe. With this play that he’s making, 20 minutes alone with Moxley to get his hands on Moxley, that is a very long time to not make a mistake. Not with a neck like that! Ospreay can’t afford it. So screw Ospreay, screw the United Empire, screw NJPW, it’s them VS The World! Moxley leaves, Daniel Garcia reiterates, “Against the world.” Will nothing stop MOxley from keeping that Contiental Championship?
Casino Gauntlet Stakes: Rush VS Anthony Bowens!
Tommaso Ciampa won the #1 spot in the TNT Championship Casino Gauntlet, but now it is time to determine who joins him as #2! Will El Toro Blanco stampede his way into Vancouver? Or will the Pride of Professional Wrestling prove he can be a killer?

Backstage interview with The Brawling Birds.
Lexy Nair is with Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter and says they both have a big Sunday at Dynasty in separate singles matches as Windsor takes on Marina Shafir and Jamie challenges Thekla for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Tonight, they take them both on together in a tag match. Alex tells Marina that while she serves as Moxley’s little lap dog, she’ll send a message to Moxley: “Jon, Will is gonna cut the head off the snake, but first, I’m gonna chop off the ass! But don’t worry when Will breaks your neck, because I promise I will put Marina right next to you.”
Jamie tells Thekla that she must admit, Thekla’s doing pretty well for herself. Jamie honestly didn’t think Thekla would get this far! The last time they stood across the ring from each other, Jamie didn’t see some Toxic Spider or even some crazy girl, she saw a tosser who was too afraid to get hit! Now, she’ll tell you for free, Jamie will hit Thekla harder than she’s ever been hit before. So tell her, what does that title mean to you? Because to Jamie, it is her life! Alex tells Thekla and Marina to stop drinking, because they’re about to beat the piss outta you! The Birds don’t give a flying F, but will they be able to solve this toxic problem even before Dynasty?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron and Min a Shirakawa.
Lexy Nair sits with them in the lounge area, and she brings up that Harley had asked Kris to team up, only to be turned down. But now she and Mina are both here, how are they both feeling? Harley says sometimes, all you have left is hope. Mina agrees. Harley says she and Mina are rather similar, in more ways than one. But the main thing is, Kris rejected Harley’s idea of tagging and training together, Mina is without Toni Storm, and now they’re both here, alone together. Yep. There is only one thing left to do. Lexy asks what that is, and Mina grabs a couple of glasses, but Harley says just hand her the bottle. Bottoms up, tops down.
Lexy watches as Mina sips her bubbly, and Harley chugs the bottle! Well, drinking away the pain only lasts so long. Will Mina and Harley help pick each other up so they can both move forward?

On Wednesday, the deal was struck that if The Rainmaker & Alpha work together at Dynasty against The Young Bucks, Double or Nothing would see Rainmaker VS Alpha for this title.

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Willow Nightingale returned backstage, victorious as AEW TBS Champion, and she says, “Oh my gawd! Okay, Queen Aminata, tonight, Dynamite, she brought it! On Collision this past week, Shida, she brought it! These girls are coming back, they’re making me work, but it’s all good, because I am still the Face of TBS! Your TBS Champion, Willow Nightingale! And I’m excited, I’m happy, arms wide open, welcoming these girls back. Tony Schiavone was out there calling me the Comeback Killer.
“So if you’re home right now, if you’re recovering from an injury, if you’re needing to rediscover yourself a little bit, take some time away… I’m here waiting. TBS Championship will on be the line, anywhere, any place. Come and try and take it.” The Babe with the Power also has the confidence, but will this unique open challenge come back to bite her?
Divine Dominion speaks.
Lena Kross says, “Holding these titles means we are the best. That we set the standard for the Women’s Tag Team Division. And somehow, Hyan & Maya have caught our attention as they desperately try to rise from the bottom. Admirable. But what makes you think you belong in the same realm as us?” Megan Bayne says, “Now, now. We are gracious champions. So here’s your gift. This Sunday, Dynasty: Zero Hour, we grant you the opportunity to step into our domain, and fight not just for the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships, but for your honor. But understand this: You are beneath us. So now the only question is, can you survive long enough to keep us entertained?”

The Toxic Spider and The Problem each have their battles with Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor at Dynasty, and we all know no one out of these four gives any F’s about how hard they have to fight to win. Will the AEW Women’s World Champion and the Death Riders’ femme fatale have all the momentum on their side? Or will this truly be an example of two birds, one stone?
The teams sort out, but then Thekla & Marina just attack The Birds! The ref reprimands but the fans cheer as they are indeed brawling! Jamie CLUBS away on Thekla, Windsor and Marina scrap, but then Thekla & Marina kick low. They TOSS The Birds out, then storm out after them.

This isn’t even a match yet because there was no bell! Marina whips Windsor hard into railing, but then Jamie storms over!
Jamie CLUBS Marina, stomps her into the corner, and now Windsor brawls with Thekla! Windsor RAMS Thekla, BOOTS Marina, but Thekla KICKS Jamie! Marina KNEES Windsor, Thekla sends Jamie into railing, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. Thekla says the barrier is sturdy, and Marina tells the ref to take it easy. Thekla CHOKES Jamie with the padding, and Marina full nelsons Windsor to make her watch. Thekla SMACKS Jamie off the desk! Thekla asks commentary how they’re doing tonight, and she pretends to tap a wristwatch, saying it is only a matter of time. Marina CLUBS Windsor, then UPPERCUTS her down!
The ref is getting fed up with this, but Marina finally goes to the ring. But Windsor reels her back out for a WHEELBARROW SLAM off the apron! Jamie suplexes Thekla hard on the floor! Windsor puts Marina in, the bell finally rings, and this is finally on record! Jamie sends Thekla into railing, then hurries back to her corner. Windsor HAMMERs away on Marina, CHOPS her, then Jamie joins in with CHOPS! The fans cheer as The Birds CHOP, CHOP, and then they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Thekla! Marina storms up to DOUBLE CHOP the Birds!

HEADBUTT from Windsor to Marina, and then TWO BIRDS ONE STONE!! Cover, Birds win!!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
It wasn’t easy, but The Birds managed to solve The Problem! Wait, is Marina smiling? Is she just that excited to have another fight like this with Iron Will Windsor? Will Jamie make sure Thekla gets a real taste of Hayterade? Or will Thekla make sure AEW stays toxic?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home episode of Collision, and of course they had three different post-Dynamite promo segments to add some final touches on things. Good promos from United Empire and Death Riders, and Garcia having to have the last word makes me wonder. Will Garcia try and help Moxley despite Continental Rules? Will Garcia cost Moxley the title because of that? They have yet to even tease such a thing in the history of this title and the Continental Rules, this could be the time to do it. But at the same time, Moxley VS Ospreay having a real finish, even a 20 minute time limit finish, would be more favorable for the fans.
A title change here tonight is really surprising. At the same time, Mistico was a TRIPLE champion between AEW and CMLL, so something had to give. But The Dogs turning right around to face Cassidy, Roddy, and I can only assume a returning Kyle O’Reilly, are The Dogs going to be transitional champions to The Conglomeration? That’d be pretty wild, but would also compel a renewed rivalry between Dogs and Conglomeration going towards Double or Nothing and beyond. For that matter, maybe Hurt Syndicate finding a new member is something they build towards DON, as they simply did a squash match win to get them going again.
Kris & Shida of course won their match, but this seems to be a vehicle for a feud, or at least Shida’s Heel turn. Mina and Harley had a very fun promo, especially with Harley chugging that drink. I don’t know if Mina & Harley become a duo, or they get in on the story with Kris and Shida to build up the midcard, but Mina and Harley both know how to be hilarious so this will be a lot of fun. Good promos from Maya & Hyan as well as Divine Dominion, but clearly Maya & Hyan are being fed to Megan & Lena to build their reign. Though, it is wild to think Maya & Hyan are getting this moment at all from the great work they’re doing in ROH.
Rush VS Bowens was great stuff, especially for Bowens bringing out his aggression, but Rush winning out was a given. I really do mean it when I say Ciampa and Rush could just be the TNT Championship match on its own, but the Casino Gauntlet will be a lot of fun, as it always is. Not sure what’s going on with “Bowens wants to be in The Opps” since we haven’t seen Hook in a minute. And that Acclaimed reunion slow burn went ice cold, not sure why TK didn’t/hasn’t see the road ahead for it. He could even be using The Opps as part of it, where Caster is also trying to prove he has ruthless aggression. But just as they’d been teasing before, Caster and Bowens would see they’re better together, no one else needed, and boom, Acclaimed is back!
The Bucks VS Clon y Hechi was a great match, perhaps better than it needed to be, but that’s also par for the course with AEW. Okada VS Reed was also great, but sadly a forgone conclusion when they gave us that deal within The Don Callis Family. Bucks have momentum, Okada has momentum, Konosuke has momentum, the tag match could go either way, but all with the purpose of building Okada VS Takeshita. And great main event tag from Brawling Birds VS Thekla & Windsor. Marina taking the loss protects Thekla, but I feel she’ll find a way to retain against Jamie. Marina VS Windsor can go either way, since it’s non-title and is kinda more about the larger Death Riders story.
My Score: 8.9/10
