Titan VS Aaron Solo!

El Inmortal is stepping through the Forbidden Door a bit early, and he is looking to make quite the impact on ROH! But will everything be tranquilo tonight? Or will Solo get that definitive W to prove he’s worthy of more?

Titan says a quick prayer, then he hears the fans cheering him on. The Code of Honor is honored, the bell rings, and Solo grins sarcastically, before Titan DROPKICKS him! Solo bails out and Titan builds speed, but Solo slides in as Titan slides out! Solo then PLANCHAS and down goes Titan! Solo gets Titan up and in, drags Titan up to fire haymakers, and Titan goes to ropes. Solo bumps Titan off buckles, KNEES him in the back, then soaks up the heat. The fans tell Solo off but Solo tells them to shut up. Solo ROCKS Titan, whips him corner to corner, then runs in, but blocks a boot. Solo CHOPS and talks trash.

Solo runs but Titan follows, LOCO LARIAT! Titan goes up the corner, CROSSBODY! The fans fire up as Titan DROPKICKS Solo again! Solo bails out and Titan builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit and down goes Solo! The fans fire up with Titan and he stomps Solo. Titan puts Solo in, covers, TWO! Solo stays in this and now he wants a timeout.

Titan stays in this but Solo clamps on with a chinlock. Solo grinds Titan down but the fans rally up.

Titan kicks and reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Solo lets off but he stomps Titan down. The fans say Solo sucks but Solo says he’s beating Titan down. Solo runs to drop a knee! “How’s that for sucking, ya moron?” Cover, TWO! Titan stays in this but Solo stays on him. Solo reels Titan in, but Titan CHOPS! Solo fires a forearm, Titan CHOPS again! The fans rally as the two go back and forth, forearms and CHOPS again and again! Solo gets the edge, but Titan ducks to fire a strike fest! Titan runs, but Solo LARIATS! But Titan kips up to PELE! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Titan goes to the apron, the fans rally up and he hurries to a corner.

Cover, TWO!! Titan survives, he knows about diving stomps! Solo is shocked, but he hurries to figure out his next move. The fans fire up behind Titan but Solo drags Titan up. Solo fires forearms, the fans chant “SOLO SUCKS! SOLO SUCKS!” Solo is angered, but he whips Titan to ropes. Titan holds ropes, Solo ROCKS him and whips again. Titan reverses but then goes Matrix to dodge, and CALF KICK!

The fans fire up and Titan pounds the mat. Off come the elbow pads as fans chant “SI! SI! SI!” Titan gets a leg, but Solo gets a cradle! TWO, and Solo SUPERKICKS! Titan staggers, Solo runs in at the corner, but into a BOOT, SOBAT, KICK and fast hands! WHEEL KICK and down goes Solo! Titan skins the cat to the top rope! LA LANZA!! Cover, Titan wins!

Lexy Nair is on stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Athena has requested an Emergency MEM, a Minion Empowerment Meeting. So without further ado, I introduce your ROH Women’s Television Champion, Billie Starkz, and your ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena!” The Fallen Goddess and her sidekick make their way out, but the world champion is on crutches! Both are a bit emotional right now but the fans cheer them on. Athena starts by saying sorry, this is really difficult. She’s been thinking the past couple weeks of how to address this situation. If you’re online and following the “dirt sheets,” you may have heard she took a bad spill and uh, yeah, it’s not great.

Athena holds back her emotions and says she wanted the fans to hear this from her. She could spit out all the medical mumbo jumbo, but what we all want to know is how long she’ll be out. She ended up tearing a couple of ankle ligaments, and right now, it is looking between four to six MONTHS. That brings her to her division, her show, her championship. The fans cheer her for encouragement, and she sniffles back as she says she has singlehandedly carried this division. She knows it means the world to every woman in the back to come out here and perform for the fans. And she also has been thinking, “Man, this is not how I thought my championship reign would end.”

The fans chant “KEEP IT! KEEP IT!” but Athena says it is best for the division and for ROH, and even for MIT, her sisters here on stage, if she… KEEPS this title around her waist! The fans cheer that and Athena says this is NOT how her story ends, how her reign ends, because she will be OUR ROH Women’s World Champion FOREVER! But wait! Queen Aminata storms out here! And she’s not alone as she has Red Velvet and a ref. Aminata says this is “Ashy & Trashy” right here. By the way, Athena, your head and your ego are way too big for that boot on her foot. Is this real? Is she really hurt? Because if she’s not, then Aminata will hurt her for real.

Velvet wants us all to think and be real. Athena’s crew has been dodging Aminata & Velvet for weeks! And they’re scared! So they all know Athena is faking an injury, the same way someone else faked an injury to win her title. Billie gets pissed, she SLAPS Velvet, so Aminata SHOVES Billie into Athena!! Athena falls over, clutches her leg, and Billie freaks out. The ref tells Aminata & Velvet to leave, so they leave, but they aren’t buying this. Billie wants after them, but the ref keeps her back now! Is Athena finally being honest about something? Is her leg going to keep her out of action for the summer? Or will she be forced to face Death Before Dishonor?

 

Jacoby Watts w/ Nick Comoroto VS Brandon Cutler!

Well, after weeks and weeks of letting down his teammate and follower in tag matches, HE will get in that ring and fight for himself! But will HE make this the Jacoby Watts Power Hour? Or will the lackey- er, assistant to The Young Bucks win won for The Elite?

Before the match, Watts gets a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jacoby Watts, and tonight, I am joined by the faithful Nick Comoroto. Now there are forces in this world that don’t want you to know how special you are. But Jacoby Watts, I believe in you. I’m the answer to your questions, the solution to your worries, and the light that will guide you through the darkness. Praise be to HE, and HE, is ME.” But Cutler walks out and says we’ve heard enough of Watt’s gospel gobbledygook. And does Watts even think the people here in Omaha, Nebraska are educated enough to understand it?

Oh wait, is that not where they are? Then where are they? Cutler holds out the mic to a fan, but then says, “Denied~!” Cutler also sees Watts brought his “useless, limp noodle” here. Comoroto could use something to do, so he should be a good boy and put this mic away for him. Comprehend? The fans boo but Watts says go ahead. Comoroto HEADBUTTS Cutler down! Comoroto wants to do more but Watts has him stand down. Cutler meanwhile scurries up and CHOP BLOCKS Watts! The bell rings, Cutler laughs at Watts, but Watts hobbles up. Watts ROCKS Cutler again and again, then whips, to back drop!

The fans cheer as Cutler goes flying, and then Watts storms up to fire hands in the corner! The ref counts, Watts still wants after Cutler but Cutler pokes Watts in the eyes! Cutler fires off shots but Watts ROCKS Cutler again and again! Cutler ROCKS Watts, Watts ROCKS Cutler, and they go back and forth. Watts runs, but Cutler CLOBBERS him! Cutler runs but Watts CLOBBERS him! Watts runs, Cutler follows then dodges, CUTLER CUTTER! Cutler takes off his tiger stripe jacket to show off he’s shredded! Cutler hauls Watts up, suplexes, but Watts blocks! Watts suplexes up and over! The fans fire up and Watts fires hands on Cutler!

Cutler staggers around, but he dodges a lariat to ROCK Watts! Cutler ROLLING- Watts ROCKS him first! Watts kicks, Cutler blocks, then DISCUS LARIATS! DAB ON ‘EM ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Cutler is annoyed but the fans rally up. Cutler runs, springboards, but Watts catches him! Swing and FLATLINER! Cutlers taggers up, into a STUNNER! Cover, Watts wins!

Winner: Jacoby Watts, by pinfall

Even HE seems surprised by his own victory! Comoroto picks him up to celebrate but Watts tells him to put him down. Comoroto and Watts have their hands raised, and Watts wants more praise. Will HE have to keep winning to make that happen?

 

The Kingdom speaks.

Mike Bennett says, “Since 2014, Taven.” Matt Taven says, “Phew, a long time.” They have been doing this since 2014. A decade! They’ve held these ROH World Tag Team Championships many times. They’ve held gold in other companies many times. “But for some reason, when they talk about the greatest tag teams in the world, The Kingdom is never on the list. When they put it on social media, when they write it down on paper, they never fail to miss our names!” The Kingdom is not put with The Bucks, FTR, The Briscoes, The Motor City Machine Guns, or ANYBODY! That’s what pisses Bennett off!

And then, stupid teams like 2Point0 just walk up and go, “Mr. Tony Khan, booker man, we want a match against The Kingdom!” And that’s fine. But they don’t have any idea what they’re getting themselves into! Taven says, “Talk about the last ten years and all we’ve done. And I wanna ask you this, 2Point0. I wanna ask you one question: What have you done? What have you done since you got here? Absolutely nothing! Have you been ROH Tag Team Champions? I don’t think so. We’ve been FIVE-TIME World Champions, and now we’re here, cementing our legacy in ROH and we have Melvins like 2Point0 telling us that they want a shot at us?

“What happened to 1Point0? How many times you gonna keep trying this?” Taven just needs us all the realize one thing: The Kingdom’s success is a trend that doesn’t stop today or tomorrow. It is going to last forever! “For he is I, and I am him, and I’m Matt Taven! But more importantly, we are The Kingdom. The Undisputed Kingdom.” Then will Taven & Bennett be unstoppable as they look to humble Menard & Parker? Or will that be the other way around?

 

Atlantis Jr. speaks.

“Hello, guys, I’m Atlantis Jr, a wrestler of CMLL, and I have a special message. I want to challenge the winner of Lee Johnson VS Kyle Fletcher for the ROH TV title. But, I want to face the winner in my house, Arena Mexico. I want to show the world that the best wrestlers are from Mexico City and CMLL. See you soon.” That certainly is quite the challenge! There’s more stakes than just the title on the main event now! Who looks to book a trip down to Arena Mexico to take on this rising star of lucha libre?

 

Diamante VS Leyla Hirsch!

The Cuban Diamond has beaten the LEGIT One before, but that was always in tag team or trios matches. Will Diamante finally get a win 1v1? Or will Leyla get some LEGIT payback?

Leyla offers but Diamante passes on the Code of Honor. The bell rings, the two tie up and Leyla headlocks. Diamante powers up and out, but Leyla runs her over! Diamante scrambles to a corner and Leyla waits on her. Diamante says okay, let’s go again. They circle, tie up, and Diamante kicks low. Diamante headlocks, Leyla powers out the back and then headlocks back. Diamante powers up and out, drops down, but Leyla runs her over again! Diamante is frustrated but the fans cheer as Leyla flexes. Leyla and Diamante reset and say one more time. They feel things out, but Leyla blocks a kick to throw Diamante down!

Leyla waistlocks and gator rolls, then she lifts, but Diamante arm-drags free. Leyla comes back, slips around, and hits a BIG back suplex! Leyla keeps moving, basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Diamante is still in this but Leyla stays on her with a headlock. Leyla grinds Diamante, but Diamante fights up. Diamante pulls hair to put Leyla in a corner. The fans rally, Leyla avoids a forearm to fire off forearms! The fans cheer but the ref counts. Leyla lets off, to YANK Diamante’s legs out! Leyla comes back, PENDULUM- BOOT! Diamante disrupts the dropkick, then runs up to KNEE Leyla down! Diamante stomps Leyla around and talks some smack.

Diamante stomps Leyla more, digs her heel in, but steps off to bring Leyla up. Leyla ROCKS Diamante with forearms! Diamante knees low! Diamante reels Leyla in, and hits a GUTBUSTER! Diamante flexes, the fans are torn, but Diamante covers, TWO! Leyla stays in this but Diamante stays on her with a whip to ropes. Leyla reverses, but Diamante blocks hip toss into a COBRA TWIST! Diamante flexes, then digs her elbow into the ribs! Leyla endures, throws an elbow into Diamante’s thigh, so Diamante digs knuckles into ribs! The fans rally, Leyla pries free and blocks the body shot, SAYANAGI!

The fans fire up as Diamante flounders to ropes. Leyla storms up, reels her in but Diamante knees low. Diamante suplexes Leyla up onto the ropes! Leyla flops back down, Diamante covers, TWO! Diamante wraps onto Leyla with a REAR BEARHUG! Leyla endures the squeeze and the fans rally up. Leyla powers up to her feet, RAMS Diamante into buckles and is free. But Diamante runs up to clamp on again! Leyla pries at the hold, RAMS Diamante into buckles again, and is again free. But Diamante runs up to CLUB Leyla down!

The fans fire up, Leyla waistlocks and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Diamante flounders, but Leyla waistlocks again, GERMAN SUPELX! Diamante flounders to a corner, Leyla runs up, PENDULUM DROPKICK! Direct hit and the fans fire up with Leyla! Leyla drags Diamante right up for a- NO, the bad ribs stop the saido! Diamante aims, runs up, and SPEARS! Cover, TWO!! Leyla survives and shocks Diamante! The fans fire up but Diamante brings Leyla around. Dragon sleeper, but Leyla slips through to cradle! LEYLA WINS!

Winner: Leyla Hirsch, by pinfall

Diamante is LEGIT shocked that she got caught! Leyla fought through the pain, but Diamante BOOTS her down! Diamante is a sore loser, and she gets Leyla up for the CUBAN TWIST! Diamante leaves, the fans boo, but is this far from over between her and Leyla?

 

ROH World Tag Team Championships: The Kingdom VS Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker!

We heard from Mike Bennett & Matt Taven, and they clearly don’t respect Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange. But respect doesn’t matter, these teams are finally having it out with gold on the line! Will Menard & Parker ever rise to the occasion? Or will The Kingdom keep these titles undisputed?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who wears the crowns around here!

Kyle smirks at Lee, Lee jabs from below, but Kyle SLAPS him! Lee goes to ropes, Kyle aims and runs, but into a ROLLING ELBOW! Kyle ROLLING ELBOWS back! Lee goes to ropes, Kyle clotheslines Lee and himself up and out!

The fans rally and duel, Kyle drags Lee up and around. Kyle reels Lee in, says thumbs down, but Lee grabs ropes! Lee punches Kyle, mule kicks him, then ASAI MOONSAULTS! Lee brings Kyle down to the ground and the fans fire back up! Lee drags Kyle up and puts him in. Kyle clings to the ropes but Lee drags him up. Kyle shoves Lee away, so Lee goes out to the apron. Kyle SUPERKICKS! It was a trap! Kyle suplexes for an APRON BRAINBUSTER!! Kyle then gets Lee in, brings him up, LAST RIDE!! Cover, TWO?!? Lee survives and shocks everyone! This is how much this all means to Lee, and “This is Awesome!”

Kyle seethes as he watches Lee rise. Kyle reloads, runs up, and CALF KICKS! Then SNAP- NO, Lee jackknife bridges! TWO!! Lee tilt-o-whirls, but Kyle blocks it! Lee still fights through, but Kyle spins things around! Inverted suplex, then a LAWN DART!! Lee is dazed as he rises up, into Kyle’s GAMANGIRI!! Then BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!?!? Kyle gets Lee up, SPIKE PILEDRIVER!!! Cover, Kyle finally scores!

Kyle: 1; Lee: 0

All that for just the first fall, and it was clearly a crucial one. Kyle has the advantage, and the ref checks if Lee can even continue. The fans rally, Kyle says he has Lee’s number, but Lee is someone still in this fight. Kyle walks up, Lee sits up, and Kyle KICKS! Lee falls back over and sputters, but Kyle eggs him on. Lee shakes his head, rises up again, and punches himself to fire back up. Kyle mocks that, then KICKS Lee again! Lee just gets mad! The fans fire up as Lee rises again! Kyle says okay, and SUPERKICKS! Lee is down, the ref checks, and Kyle waits. Lee is dazed but not down, so Kyle says please, take your time.

Lee rises but the ref wants Doc Sampson to check. Lee is saying no, he’s good, but he’s still struggling to even sit up off the mat. Kyle waits for the greenlight, then he gets Lee up. Kyle puts Lee right on the top rope, climbs up, and suplexes! But Lee shifts and gets around! He YANKS Kyle down! Lee gets moving, and he LARIATS! Kyle stays up but Lee runs again, to LARIAT! Lee keeps moving, but Kyle LARIATS Lee inside out!! Kyle hauls Lee up, scoops, LAWN- NO, Lee slips free and Kyle POSTS himself! Lee O’Conner Rolls, and deep! LEE SCORES!

Kyle: 1; Lee: 1

And now we’re all tied up! Kyle is in disbelief, but “This is Awesome!” as Lee has life! Both men slowly rise, and Kyle says “No! No…! NO!” Lee says bring it! These two storm up and fire off forearms back and forth! The fans rally as the shots go faster and faster, and Lee gets the edge! Kyle ROLLING ELBOWS! Then he reels Lee in, lifts, but Lee SUNSET BOMBS!! Cover, TWO!!! Lee almost had Kyle so he hurries to get back up! Lee climbs a corner while Kyle is down! Kyle rises, and he GAMANGIRIS! Kyle climbs to join Lee up top again, but Lee throws hands! Lee SHOVES Kyle down! Then Lee SUPER SUNSET BOMBS!!

But Kyle flounders all the way out of the ring! Lee says fine, and he builds speed to FLY!! FLYING SUNSET BOMB?!?! The fans lose their minds as Lee rises up! Lee tries to drag Kyle up but he’s dead weight! Lee gets in the ring as we’re at 8 of 20, then 10! Lee is waiting on the count but he has to remember Champion’s Advantage is a thing! We’re at 15 of 20 and Kyle hasn’t even moved! We’re at 17, only now does Kyle stir! 19!! Kyle SPRINGS in at 19.5, and Lee SUPERKICKS him! And SUPERKICKS again! Lee rises, leaps, CROSSBODY! But that’s not enough! Lee goes back up, reloads, and FROG SPLASHES!!

Lee still won’t stop, he wants another! Lee climbs again, for a FROG SPLASH!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Kyle survives the hattrick and Lee is stunned! The ref checks both men while the fans are thunderous for “R O H! R O H!” Kyle seems out of it, but Lee just roars back to his feet! The ref has Lee back off but Lee argues with him! Kyle SHOVES Lee into the ref, then LOW BLOWS!! Kyle smirks as he gets away with it! The fans try to tell the ref what happened, but Kyle puts Lee up top fast! Kyle suplexes for the TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER!!! Cover, Kyle wins!!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

Just as it looked like this title was slipping through Kyle’s fingers, he stooped to some callous lows to hold onto it! Lee was so close, and now he must wait until another holds this title. With how The Protostar has been going, will there ever be another ROH World Television Champion?


My Thoughts:

A very good episode of ROH, though very long at an hour and 50 minutes. Though, they at least made sure there were more matches that meant something and weren’t just squashes. By the way, I appreciate that they put the squash matches all in the middle of the episode. Anyway, Titan showing up in ROH was a nice surprise, and of course he got a good win here. Good Six Man Tag, but I should’ve figured the Heels would win. When is this story ever gonna end so that Serpentico can have that stolen mask back? Or are we supposed to wait until Griff & Karter are contenders to the tag titles? I imagine Maria will give up the mask that she treats like a trophy when her boys are on to something better.

And I like that while Watts was working on this “You need me, Comoroto! You’re nothing without me!” thing, he is suddenly Face by default because Cutler has been building this Heel persona where he is the henchmen for The Young Bucks. And we all love seeing the smug friend of the mean bosses get comeuppance, so this worked out for Watts. But chances are, we’re right back to “You’re nothing without me!” next week. Really good match from Diamante and Leyla, and good win for Leyla. Diamante laying her out after was also good Heel heat, they’ll surely keep feuding to build up towards title matches.

Speaking of, very good promo segment from the champions and their challengers. Ironically, I hadn’t been paying attention to “dirt sheets” so I don’t know how legit Athena’s ankle injury is, but certainly it’s not as bad as they were playing it up tonight if she can take a bump. But is this some out of the box way to double turn… Actually, I guess this is some kind of quadruple turn if both Aminata & Velvet are going Heel and Athena & Billie are going Face. But really, one way or another, I feel like this has to lead to Athena finally, finally losing the world title for someone else to carry ROH and for her to maybe move on to AEW and those title scenes. Maybe.

And great title matches to close out the night. Good promo from Bennett & Taven, and I suppose there is something to their longevity and dedication that should make The Kingdom seen as a top team. There does seem to be some mysterious reason why they aren’t, and it’s not because they’ve only ever been in ROH, NJPW and TNA before this point. Young Bucks themselves are an example of a team that became great because they were in all those companies, and yet they’re the ones running things. But hey, great match with Menard & Parker tonight, and I figured with this being on regular ROH weekly TV, The Kingdom was going to retain.

Similarly, we got an awesome Best 2 Out of 3 match for the ROH World TV Championship, and Lee starting off hot and enduring so much in just the first fall was great stuff. While I did hope Lee was going to win, this was just ROH weekly TV, Kyle of course retained. Now, Kyle VS Atlantis Jr. down in Mexico, that is gonna be a lot of fun, but I would think Kyle retains down there, too. Kinda hoping ROH gets permission to at least show that match because I have no idea where I can watch CMLL stuff as an American.

My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.

“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”

The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!

The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!

The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.

Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.

At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.

So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!

The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.

On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”

The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?

 

The Death Riders arrive.

Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?

Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!

The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT! They fire forearms back and forth, Gabe fires haymakers, but Briscoe gives those back! The fans fire up, Briscoe CHOPS, but Gabe CHOPS! The CHOPS keep going, then Gabe ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe fires back with a flurry, but Gabe RAMS him into the corner! Speedball & Willow rush in, Moxley & Marina intercept, and the fans fire up as there’s brawling all over the place! Moxley DECKS Bailey, Marina KNEES away on Willow then TOSESS her! Moxley keeps after Bailey but Bailey hits back.

Gabe talks trash, but fans count along as Bailey rains down TEN punches on Moxley! Gabe whips Mark, Mark goes up and out to ROCK Gabe, RAM low, and then HOTSHOT! Gabe tumbles out to the floor, Briscoe is back in, and Bailey hands him a chair! The fans fire up as the chair is set up, and Briscoe shouts out to Sabu! TRIPLE JUMP DIVE onto the Death Riders! The fans fire up and Briscoe high fives the front row while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Briscoe high fives with Bailey and Willow, then goes back for Gabe. Briscoe CLAWS Gabe’s face, the ref sorts everyone else out, but Bailey sends Moxley into railing! Briscoe BITES Gabe on the forehead, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe flounders into the ring and Briscoe follows. Briscoe stands Gabe up to ROCK him with a right, and then he stomps Gabe into the corner. The ref counts, Briscoe steps off at 4, then he drags Gabe up. Briscoe tags Willow, they double whip Gabe and DOUBLE HIP TOSS! Willow flexes, then tags Bailey. Bailey & Briscoe double whip and they TRIPLE BOOT Gable! Cover, TWO!

Bailey stays on Gabe, brings him over, and he tags Briscoe. Briscoe UPPERCUTS Gabe, then CHOPS! Briscoe whips, Gabe reverses, and Moxley gets a cheap shot in! Gabe clinches for an EXPLODER! Tag to Moxley and he storms up on Briscoe. Moxley drags Briscoe over to then stomp him in the corner. Moxley soaks up heat, but that just lets Marina CHOKE Briscoe in the distraction! Gabe adds on, too! Moxley goes back to Briscoe, digs his boots in, but stops as the ref counts. Briscoe sputters, but Moxley taunts Bailey & Willow. Moxley drags Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires forearms! Dynamite returns to single picture and Moxley kicks Briscoe low!

Moxley scoops Briscoe to SLAM him! Moxley runs to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Moxley drags Briscoe up, wrenches, then tags Marina. They mug Briscoe with KICK after KICK, then Marina tags Gabe.

Willow and Marina both step in and Willow dodges a boot to fire forearms! Marina shoves Willow, KICKS, then whips, Willow reverses to CHOP! And LARIAT! And LARIAT again! And again!

Gabe says this is for those who wanna mess with the Death Riders!

The Death Riders soak up more heat while Briscoe drags himself back over barriers and Bailey drags himself from the wreckage. Moxley and Gabe both taunt the fans while the ring count climbs. Bailey is still down past 5 of 10, but he flounders and makes his way up. Bailey is in at 9! Moxley is furious and shouts at the fans. Moxley drags Bailey up, reels him in, and soaks up heat as he suplexes, for the X PLEX! Tag to Gabe and he talks trash while Dynamite goes to break.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!

This Saturday, May 31st, Collision will air coast to coast on TNT at 8 PM Eastern, OR immediately following NBA Playoffs Game 6, but you can always stream on HBO Max!

 

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.

“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?

 

Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.

The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?

 

Ricochet speaks.

The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.

“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”

 

No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!

For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win? Perhaps the Megasus & Superbad Girl don’t want to admit they got outsmarted by the Queenslayer & Wild Aussie. But now there will be no excuses because there is no such thing as cheating in a No Disqualifications match! Will Anna & Harley be the stars of the show after going all out? Or will they be made to #BowDown?

Megan & Ford come prepared with a trash can, its lid, and a golden steel chair! But Anna & Harley are ready to ride as a couple cowgirls armed with two-by-four and steel pipe! The fans fire up as they rush the ring, and while Ford grabs at the wood, Anna trips her up! Harley slides in but Megan BOOTS her down! The bell rings and this essentially Texas Tornado gets spinning! Megan SLAMS Harley down, Anna sends Ford into railing, and Anna brings out chairs! Megan CHOPS Harley, RAMS her in the corner again and again, and grabs one of those chairs. Ford ROCKS Anna, Megan wedges a chair into the corner, and Ford CHOPS Anna.

El Paso wants tables but Ford whips Anna into railing! Anna falls, Megan sits Harley up in the corner, and Megan runs up, only for Harley to move! Megan’s CANNONBALL hits the chair! Harley & Anna mug Ford, then DDT her on the trash can lid! The fans fire up, Harley covers, but Megan breaks it! Megan stalks Harley, but Anna has her wood! Anna SMACKS Megan, but Megan doesn’t even flinch. Megan stares Anna down, the fans tell Anna she messed up, but Harley has her pipe! Harley CLUBS Megan and that was certainly felt! Anna grabs a chair and she SMACKS Megan! Harley PIPES Megan, Anna SMACKS Megan, repeat!

The fans fire up as Megan is just a giant pinball between those brutal flippers, but she gets pissed! Megan dodges H&A to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up as Megan then goes for her golden chair! Megan sits it up at center, drags Harley up, and she reels her in! But Harley slips out of the suplex! Harley drop toeholds Megan on the chair, Anna SHOTGUNS Megan down! The fans fire up, Anna covers, but Ford breaks it! Harley has Ford for a KNEE down low! Anna has a chair of her own, sets that down, and Harley lines up the shot. Anna runs, they give Ford a form of BOOT CAMP! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives but Anna & Harley go outside.

The fans rally as they go looking, and yes, they bring out a TABLE! The fans fire up as Anna & Harley stand the table up nearby, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The Megasus unleashed her full power on Harley & Anna, leaving them both bloody messes. Will there be no stopping Megan’s rise to the top of the AEW Women’s Division?

 

Mercedes Mone arrives in a low rider.

The CEO is once again #FourBeltsMone as she holds up her Queen of Harts title, even as her driver parks the convertible. The AEW TBS Champion struts in as a rhinestone cowgirl, ready to meet the AEW Women’s World Champion face to face, but will they keep it civil? Or will there be a shootout in El Paso?

 

Six Man Tag: The Opps VS The Frat House!

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs were part of the winning Team AEW at Anarchy in the Arena. But now, they focus on being AEW World Trios Champions. Will they be ready to go all in this summer? OR will Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Jacked Jameson, and even their El Paso “Pledges” be toasting a huge victory?

Jameson has a mic, and he tries to get the fans to join in on “FRAT~ HOUSE~!” They boo instead. Jameson says okay, last night, here in El Paso, him and the boys at Shifty’s Dive, throwing one of their world famous pledge parties. They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong! The fans cheer that! Jameson says that doesn’t make sense, all the guys are weak and skinny and all the girls are fat and ugly. The fans boo again. Jameson says needless to say, they didn’t find a new member.

But hey, that’s okay, they are not leaving emptyhanded. They’re walking out tonight the NEW Trios Champions! Uh, the belts aren’t on the line…? But Preston Vance says, “Win or lose, we BOOOOOOOOOZE~!” Vance gets in Joe’s face with that, and Joe HEADBUTTS him down! Shibata and Hobbs go after Karter & Garrison on the outside while Jameson and the Pledges scramble. The bell rings, Joe JABS away on Vance in the corner! The fans fire up as Joe just fires off! Joe CHOPS Vance down, and Shibata runs Karter right into railing! Joe CHOPS Vance again, whips him corner to corner, then runs in.

Vance BOOTS Joe, runs, but Joe SWEEPS the legs! And SENTONS on top! Vance scrambles, tag to Griff, and Joe chuckles at the Ivy League MVP getting fired up. The fans rally for Joe, but Joe says uno momento. Tag to Shibata! The fans cheer as The Wrestler steps up. Shibata and Griff feel things out, then Griff CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS in return! Griff CHOPS again, Shibata CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans fire up as Griff fires a forearm but Shibata fires back! Shibata eggs Griff on as Griff fires more shots, only for Shibata to DECK him! Shibata runs corner to corner and HYDRAULIC DROPKICKS!

Shibata drags Griff up, HALF HATCH, then cover, TWO! Griff stays in this but now Shibata tags Hobbs. Griff scrambles away to tag in Karter, but the Diamond in the Rough doesn’t know what he got into. Karter fires hands but Hobbs just takes them! Hobbs TOSSES Karter to the corner, fires hands, then whips corner to corner. LARIAT in the corner! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Hobbs fires more LARIATS into Karter! Hobbs reels Karter in for the short arm LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Hobbs DECKS Griff off the apron, but Vance BLATSS Shibata and Joe!

Joe runs in, Vance runs away, and the ref is distracted, so Jameson slips in with that frat paddle! Jameson SMACKS Hobbs! Hobbs just gets mad! Hobbs LARIATS Jameson up and out! A Pledge is sent in!? Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Another Pledge tries, but he gets a SPIENBUSTER! The third Pledge tries, he gets a SPINEBUSTER! Vance has the paddle! The ref stops Vance, and Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Karter climbs up the corner, almost slips, but he still leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by pinfall

That was town bidness times ten! Will the Frat House study up next time? Will The Opps continue to prove they are #NeverLacking?

 

Renee Paquette is in the ring.

Renee welcomes out the woman who fought her heart out at Double or Nothing, Jamie Hayter! The fans cheer as Hayter heads to the ring, clearly bummed she is NOT the 2025 Queen of Harts. Renee brings up that unfortunately, Hayter could not overcome Mone in the finals. And she knows Hayter was worried about what her future in AEW would look like without that win. Has Hayter had time to think about what’s next? Hayter tells Renee, that is the question. But then the lights go out!? Oh no, could it be…? The lights come back up and it is THEKLA! The Toxic Spider is in AEW, and she’s right on Hayter!

Thekla DECKS Hayter, then stands over her! Thekla stares into the camera, then spider-walks over! Will the “Idol Killer” tear down all those that came before her in order to be THE woman in AEW?

 

AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The Paragon could not stop the Don Callis Family on Sunday, and now the Panama City Playboy is the Protostar’s next target! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mar and take this title home for the family? Or will it still be all about the BOOM?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!

Callis is on commentary to say the fans love Cole because he’s just like the fans: he lives on hopes and dreams. Callis says you can’t take hopes to the bank, but you can bank on Fletcher! The bell rings and the fans rally up as Cole and Fletcher stare down. Cole and Fletcher circle, feel things out, and tie up. Fletcher puts Cole in a corner, lets off slowly, then rolls back to mock the “Adam Cole Baybay!” Cole and Kyle circle, tie up, and Cole waistlocks. Fletcher pries free, switches, then he SLAMS Cole down! The fans are torn but Fletcher flexes on Cole. Cole and Fletcher reset, circle, and tie up. Cole headlocks, Kyle fights the takeover, and Kyle powers out.

Kyle RUNS Cole over, smirks, and then goes back for Cole. Kyle slips, Cole slips free, and Cole fires forearms! Kyle scoops but Cole fights free again! Kyle kicks low, CLUBS Cole on the back, but Cole PELES! The fans fire up and Kyle staggers around! Cole storms up to fire hands and he puts Kyle in a corner. Cole stomps a mudhole into Kyle, steps off as the ref counts, and he gives a proper “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans cheer, Cole whips corner to corner, but Kyle reverses. Kyle runs up but Cole puts him on the apron, and SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Kyle. Cole goes to the apron and takes aim, only for PRG Vice to step up!

The fans boo as Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta stand in Cole’s way, but Callis says this is strength in numbers. Well speaking of, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly rush out here! Paragon brawls with RPG Vice and head to the back! The fans fire up, Cole goes to fetch Fletcher, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS Cole down! Kyle drags Cole up, reels him in, and APRON POWERBOMBS!! That was a lot more Cole’s head and neck then his back, and while the ref checks Cole, Callis mockingly says he’s gonna check on Kyle while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Fletcher flexes more while he soaks up heat, and Callis really does walk over to talk with him. Kyle steps into the ring and somehow Cole is okay to continue, so a ring count starts. Cole stirs at about 3 of 10, Callis & Kyle soak up more heat, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Cole at about 7. Kyle drags Cole into the ring, then stomps him down! Kyle stomps Cole more, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Cole down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Then he CHOKES Cole on the ropes! The ref counts, Kyle steps off, and Cole goes to a corner. Kyle soaks up heat, distracts the ref, and that lets Callis CHOKE Cole!

Callis scurries back to commentary before he’s caught, and Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires body shots but Kyle eggs him on. Cole fires more shots, but Kyle BOOTS him down! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat, and he checks if that’s for him or for Cole. It is for Kyle, so Kyle scoops Cole and SLAMS him! Kyle paces more while Cole writhes. Cole sits up but Kyle is on him with another scoop and SLAM! Kyle leans on the ropes while he soaks up more heat, then he goes back to Cole. Kyle rains down fists, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Cole down. Cole endures and fights up while Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally as Cole fires body shots, only for Kyle to scoop and SLAM again! Kyle twists Cole’s wrist, scoops and SLAMS again, then eggs everyone on. The fans boo but Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires forearms! The fans rally, but Kyle scoops and spins to SLAM! Callis says the reason Cole was outside to be hit with that apron powerbomb is because he went after Kyle outside the ring. Callis says Cole only has himself to blame. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Cole SUPERKICKS! Callis is eating his words the way Kyle ate that foot! The fans are thunderous as Cole rises up! Cole storms up to fire forearm after forearm!

Kyle shoves Cole but Cole LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And BOOTS! Kyle staggers around, Cole brings him over, but Kyle fights the fireman’s carry! Kyle runs, but Cole BOOTS him! Kyle rebounds into the fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but the fans rally behind Cole. Cole rises up, goes to the corner, and he climbs up to aim again. Kyle stands into the PANAMA- NO, Kyle BACKDROPS then sits down on a cover, TWO!! Cole escapes, Kyle blocks his kick, and Kyle spins Cole for a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cole flounders, Kyle runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! And then Kyle reels Cole in, but Cole suplexes, GHOST BUSTER!!

Cole fires up, rises up, and the fans are with him! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! Kyle sputters, Cole brings down the kneepad, and Callis freaks out! But JOSH ALEXANDER is here, and he just CLOBBERS Cole!!

Winner: Adam Cole, by disqualification (still AEW TNT Champion)

Callis laughs as the Don Callis Family’s Walking Weapon beats Cole down! But Kyle doesn’t get to be TNT Champion, what good was this? Alexander BITES Cole, Callis says break Cole! Kyle & Alexander mug Cole while the fans boo and cuss Callis out! But wait! Here comes Brody King! The King of Death ahs a chair, and he runs Alexander & Kyle off! This match was to be the main event, but it might as well happen now! Will Brody bulldoze through Alexander to head for Fyter Fest? Or will the Don Callis Family still secure something good for the Summer?

 

AEW International Championship Qualifier: Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family VS Brody King!

Dynamite returns, security standing between the Walking Weapon and King of Death, but they won’t wait any longer! Security is literally thrown aside and the bell rings! The brawl is on and the fans love it! Brody KNEES Alexander, ROCKS him, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS him! And ROCKS him! And repeat! Brody ROCKS and CHOPS, stands Alexander up and whips corner to corner. Brody runs up, Alexander BOOTS him then goes up, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Alexander dusts himself off, stomps Brody around, then rips the shirt away to CHOKE Brody with it! The ref counts, Alexander stops at 4 and taunts Brody by flossing with the shirt, and we don’t mean teeth.

Alexander offers the shirt to fans, but then drops it on the floor. Alexander whips, Brody reverses and BACKDROPS! The fans fire up as Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler ever. Brody gets his shirt back, and he stuffs it in Alexander’s mouth! The fans cheer but Callis says there is no place for that here! Brody has Alexander against the ropes and CLUBS him! Alexander suffers Beats of the War Drum, and fans count to seven before Brody shoves him down! Brody tosses his shirt away, then brings Alexander up. Alexander fires body shots but Brody ROCKS him back. Brody puts Alexander against the post, hushes the fans, and winds up.

But Alexander ducks, Brody’s CHOP hits POST! The fans all wince as Brody clutches his hand! Alexander then RAMS Brody into the post to go after the shoulder! Alexander wrenches the arm, and he SLAMS it off railing! The fans boo but Alexander keeps after Brody. Alexander CHOPS Brody, refreshes the count, then brings Brody around to whip. But Brody reverses to send Alexander into barriers! Brody choke grips with his off hand, and he BARRIER CHOKE SLAMS Alexander! The fans fire up and Brody CHOPS Alexander against the barrier! Alexander falls, the fans fire up, and Brody stalks Alexander around the way.

Brody brings Alexander up, ROCKS him, but that was the bad hand. The fans rally and Brody puts Alexander in the ring. Alexander BOOTS Brody, then BOOTS the arm! Alexander runs, but Brody breaks through the lariat and CLOBBERS Alexander! Alexander tumbles out of the ring, and Brody builds speed! Brody DIVES into a FOREARM! Alexander has Brody in the ropes, APRON DDT! Brody slumps down and sputters, and then Alexander CHOPS him! The fans rally, Alexander runs, and he BODY CHECKS Brody off the apron! Alexander soaks up the heat while Lance Archer applauds. Callis says Alexander is not intimidated by size because he has the technique!

Fans chant “You Suck!” but Alexander SLAMS the bad arm into the post! Brody clutches his hand, but he CHOPS with the left! And CHOPS again! Alexander kicks and CHOPS in return! Alexander brings Brody around the way, and whips him hard into steel steps! Brody writhes, Alexander grins as he refreshes the count, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref checks on Brody, but Brody refuses to let the bad arm stop him. Alexander goes out and walks up the steps so he can stomp Brody’s hand! The ref reprimands but Alexander kicks Brody around. Alexander puts Brody in the ring, but Brody ROCKS him with an elbow! Brody CHOPS, but Alexander CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Alexander adjusts his wrestling headgear before bringing Brody around. Alexander HIP DROPS the good arm, looking to leave Brody with no arms! Alexander traps the bad arm and SNAP LOCKS it! Brody writhes and Alexander takes a moment to soak up heat. Brody drags himself up with the ropes, but Alexander pulls on the arms!

The ref reprimands, Brody ROCKS Alexander, but Alexander kicks low! Alexander climbs up in the corner to rain down fists! Brody stops Alexander at five, but Alexander CHOPS! Brody CHOPS, Alexander CHOPS repeat! Alexander CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, then brings Brody in for a BIG suplex! That alone was impressive, and Alexander covers, TWO! Brody toughs it out and Alexander grows frustrated. Alexander looms over Brody, throws down elbows, then he drags Brody by the bad arm. SNAP LOCK! Brody writhes again but Alexander paces. Alexander drags Brody back up, and he clamps on with a keylock!

Dynamite returns to single picture as Brody endures. The fans rally, Brody fights up, and Brody fires body shots. The fans fire upas Brody CHOPS! But that was the bad hand again! Alexander waistlocks, but Brody switches, and he GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans fire up and Brody LARIATS! But again, the bad arm! Alexander BOOTS Brody, BOOTS him again, but Brody SOUTHPAW LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up. A standing count starts and the fans rally. Callis claims Alexander is ahead on points, not that that matters right now. Brody and Alexander are on opposite ends of a corner as they rise up.

Brody grabs Alexander, goes to the top rope with him, but Alexander pulls the crossbar’s pad away! Alexander fights the suplex, throws body shots, and then he HOTSHOTS the arm on the bare bar! Brody staggers away, Alexander pursues, and Alexander waistlocks. Brody fights with elbows, then fireman’s carries! Alexander fights back, but Brody BOOTS him! And has the SLEEPER!! Alexander endures, and he pries the grip open! ELBOW BREAKER! APRON GERMAN SUPLEX!! Both men fall to the floor and Callis says they might need to stop this.

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (advances to the AEW International Championship match)

The Don Callis Family had two chances tonight, failed them both, and now Brody heads for Colorado and Fyter Fest. Will The King of Death end the reign of The Best Bout Machine? Who else will join Brody and Kenny Omega in the Mile High City?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of the other two International Championship qualifiers, Claudio VS Komander and Hechicero VS Mascara Dorada, we will have Mina Shirakawa VS Skye Blue! Will the Fighting Gravure Idol stay strong in the wake of losing at Double or Nothing? Plus, after the confrontation during the TNT Championship match, Paragon battles RPG Vice, but with some added names to the mix! RPG Vice bring in NEVER Openweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, while Roddy & Kyle conglomerate with NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Tomohiro Ishii! Could this Six Man Tag open some doors to more golden opportunities?

 

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?

 

Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!

The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.

The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.

“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”

Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.

Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.

“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.

Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.

Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.

Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.

RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.

Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.

Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.

My Score: 8.9/10

Ninja Mack: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Dragon Dia: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Yoshinobu Kanemaru: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie X: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]


My Thoughts:

An awesome start to the ninth round, and it is always fun to have these final playoff scenarios sort out. Mack VS Dia was great, even for not affecting anything, and I really do hope these two guys become the next big thing. I figured Kanemaru would screw Wato over with help from Sho & Yujiro, and this definitely feeds into the tag title story that involves Hiromu. Fujita overcoming Connors and Robbie X getting the upset on Hiromu was all awesome stuff, and I like the gentlemen’s agreement that Robbie will be the lineal contender should Fujita win the title. B Block is going to be awesome, I’m sure, and there are all sorts of great choices for Fujita’s opponent.

My Score: 9.1/10
