PLAY BY PLAY
MJF is here!
Southaven is torn as the Wolf of Wrestling makes his way out after having shown his true colors last Wednesday Night Dynamite. MJF is back to wearing suits and scarves, and he already has a mic as he steps into the ring. The boos are louder than the cheers, and MJF says he knows everyone in this building is inbred and incredibly stupid, but he’d appreciate it that while he was talking, they unlike their mothers on their knees in a truck stop bathroom, would all kept their mouths shut. The fans boo but MJF tells Daniel Garcia, “You are nothing more than a pawn. You really thought MJF, the biggest star in AEW, you thought I was gonna give you a match at All In?
“No, man. That match was never gonna happen. I was always going to stab you in the back and break your scrawny little neck. And I’ll explain why later, but I gotta be honest with you, Danny. During this ruse, there was something you did that offended me. Let’s keep it real here, Danny, you’re a Make-A-Wish kid at best. And I was trying to grant you the greatest wish of them all. Was it real? No. But you didn’t know that. I offered you a match at Wembley Stadium against, let’s face it, the greatest wrestler who’s ever lived, and you didn’t answer. Well, Danny, after what I did to you, you ain’t gonna make it to All In. Hell, you’re never gonna wrestle again.
“But I’m not here to talk to Danny Garcia. I’m here to talk to you… Roll the clip.” MJF has production show on the tron, Dynamite on August 2nd, 2023. It was the time MJF explained ADHD came along with Rejection Sensitivity Disorder. MJF cannot regulate rejection based emotions and behaviors. And there was one thing he still remembers to this day, the incident of those bullies throwing quarters at him and calling him “Jew Boy.” MJF told himself that day that to survive in a world of scumbags, he had to become the worst scumbag of them all, and that he would betray others before they could betray him.
MJF back then said being a scumbag was easy. What was hard was being vulnerable. He knew if he opened himself up to be “Max,” and then got booed, it’d kill him being that little kid being bullied. But MJF also said he wasn’t afraid anymore! The fans cheered for him then, but MJF now gets boos. This MJF says he opened up to the fans, told us all that if they turned on him, it’d tear his heart out, and they didn’t give a damn! MJF did everything for the fans! He changed for the fans! He let his guard down and became friends with Adam Cole, he broke his body down, all for the fans! And how did they repay MJF?
After MJF’s best friend stabs him in the back, after Samoa Joe steals “Triple B,” MJF is writhing in pain at home, and he turns on Dynamite after World’s End. What do the fans do? They chanted “Thank You, Joe!” The fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” now. MJF says he was in physical therapy, trying to get function back in his arms, the fans discarded him for guys like Swerve, Okada, “and worst of all… that talentless hack, Will Ospreay!” MJF says what he did to Garcia wasn’t personal between the two of them. It was personal between MJF and the fans! And Garcia was just the beginning. MJF will take away everything we love, because everything we love SUCKS!
The fans boo but MJF says the fans have ruined the company MJF has built from the ground up with their garbage taste. MJF will fix AEW, and the only way to do that is with MJF on top! But no, the fans want Will Ospreay, don’t they? Yeah, they like Ospreay? The fans cheer, but MJF says the fans are too delusional to realize it, but Ospreay can’t help AEW like MJF can. Ospreay is a child! He doesn’t care about ticket sales, about making money. All Ospreay cares about is putting on good matches. Gasp, what a novel concept. The only ratings Ospreay cares about are those stars from Meltzer.
MJF is a grown ass man, and the ratings he cares about come from a guy named Nielsen! And so here’s an idea, Will! Let’s pop a number right here, right now! MJF will get medieval on you, bruv! Ospreay is “The Billy Goat?” Then how about MJF sacrifices him like one? No response and MJF says he knew it. But then surprise! Ospreay’s music hits now! Only for it to NOT be Ospreay. MJF says Ospreay is not coming because he is a two-faced, fickle, gutless coward. “Just like you.” This is Maxwell Jacob- NO, fans, you had your chance, shut your mouths! He is MJF, and you can thank him later. The Scumbag has gotten even worse, but will Ospreay take him out once and for all?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly, Mark Briscoe & Orange Cassidy and asks if they have any last words before their match tonight? Kyle says after Forbidden Door, he is bummed out. Mark says he ain’t bummed. Is Orange bummed out? Why? Cuz none of them won at Forbidden Door? Well, the word of the day is “Epiphany,” because Mark had one. Failure is just a figment of your imagination! It is just a stepping stone to the throne, a pitstop on the road to the top! They are in the shadow of one of the most historical cities in wrestling, Memphis, Tennessee! And The Conglomeration is about to put a historical ass kicking on The Iron Savages!
Mark says let’s get out there, pull their proverbial heads out of their proverbial asses and do this thing! The ROH World Champion is fired up, Kyle says he really knows how to pull a guy out of a dark abyss. Cassidy says he doesn’t care. He’s in a Pixies kinda mood, but will Freshly Squeezed, Violent Artist & Sussex County Chicken be feeling back on top after tonight?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Iron Savages!
Jacked Jameson tells the fat morons and skinny idiots to shut up! The Savages know the fans love these “Low T Losers” because they’re just like all of them. But these anorexic athletes don’t stand a chance! Mark Briscoe is the Chicken because his bones are brittle, and both Kyle and Cassidy look like they belong at the bottom of the evolutionary chart! These are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and takin’ everyone to #TIDDYCITY! But as beefy and bulky as they are, will they be ready for a fired up force of nature?
The trios sort out and Kyle starts against Jameson, but then The Undisputed Kingdom shows up. Though, what did anyone expect with how Roderick Strong keeps thinking of himself as Kyle’s friend. Roddy, Taven & Bennett join commentary on stage, and Jameson says it is time to sip the sauce! He sips, then pumps up. Jameson and Kyle circle, Kyle KICKS, headlocks, and grinds the hold. Jameson powers out, Kyle RAMS him, but Jameson comes back to run Kyle over! Jameson goes for another sip, but Mark snatches the cup! Mark takes a CHUG, CHUG, CHUG! Mark is all fired up now! Mark CLOBBERS Jameson!
Bronson gets in, Mark dodges him and CLOBBERS Bronson! The fans fire up, Kyle sips, and Roddy says that’s not good, he has to watch his blood sugar. Kyle is all fire dup, he and Mark RAM Boulder! Boulder comes back to LARIAT Kyle, but Mark ENZIGIRIS! Bronson runs up, CLOBBERS Mark, but Kyle KICKS and KICKS and KICKS Bronson down! Boulder CLOBBERS Kyle, and then he warns Cassidy. Kyle CHOP BLOCKS Boulder, JAWBREAKERS Bronson, then runs Jameson gets a cheap shot in, so Kyle DECKS him! But then Boulder & Bronson CLOBBER Kyle! Boulder DECKS Mark, then Bronson runs to SENTON Kyle! Cover, TWO!
Bronson drags Kyle up, bumps him off buckles, then fires hands! The ref counts, Bronson short arm LARIATS! The Savages stand tall while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Savages soak up the heat and Bronson drags Kyle over. Tag to Jameson, the Savages mug Kyle, and Jameson RAMS into Kyle! Jameson throws elbows, stomps Kyle down, then tags Boulder. Boulder brings Kyle around to scoop and SLAM! Boulder soaks up heat, stomps around like an Earthquake, and then runs and SPLASHES down! Cover, TWO! Kyle stays in this but Boulder mocks Cassidy by putting hands in his “pockets.” Boulder kicks Kyle but Kyle fires strikes in return! Kyle runs, but Boulder runs him over! Boulder snarls, the fans rally up, but Boulder drags Kyle over. Boulder HIP DROPS Kyle, then tags in Bronson.
Bronson goes up the corner and he HIP DROPS Kyle, too! Tag to Jameson, and he flexes before he climbs. Jameson talks a lot of trash, then HIP DROPS onto knees! Collision returns to single picture with both men down and the fans rallying up! Kyle and Jameson crawl, hot tag to Bronson! Bronson grabs a leg, but Kyle hops forward, hot tag to Mark! Mark CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Bronson! Boulder gets in but gets some REDNECK KUNG-FU! Bronson runs up but into a kick! Mark REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS, then ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up again, but Boulder kicks Mark.
Boulder flexes, whips, but Mark uses that to BOOT Jameson! Boulder runs in but Mark dodges! Boulder tumbles up and out! Mark reaches out for Cassidy, Cassidy doesn’t reach back, so Mark gives him a push. Cassidy gets fired up and he tags in! And he DIVES onto Jameson! Cassidy goes up and CROSSBODIES Bronson! Roddy isn’t impressed, but Cassidy keeps moving! Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges Boulder to tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cassidy kips up and the fans fire up. Roddy says that was impressive at least. Cassidy takes off his elbow pad, run sin, but Bronson catches him for a BEARHUG! Cassidy throws elbows to get free.
Bronson throws knees, snarls and shouts, “I’M GONNA BUST!” Bronson suplexes, but gets STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Cassidy keeps Bronson down so Mark can use him as a step, to FLY onto Boulder and Jameson! Kyle gets in, he and Cassidy FRESHLY SQUEEZED HIGH LOW! FLYING KNEE for Jameson, BLOCKBUSTER for Boulder! ORANGE PUNCH for Bronson! Cover, The Conglomeration wins!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
Roddy says good stuff. He can’t wait to see Ishii again, by the way. He’ll slap that guy in the face. The Kingdom storm commentary, but Roddy keeps Taven & Bennett from going to the ring. They’ll settle this with Kyle and The Conglomeration later, but when and where will that be?
Jack Perry speaks.
“Someone once said that the true cost of anything is what you’re willing to sacrifice for it. A long time ago, I was the first challenger to the first ever TNT Champion. But I wasn’t ready then. Because I didn’t realize just how great that cost would be. But as of tonight, I’m paid in full. And I wanna go ahead and give that same opportunity to sacrifice everything and take this away from me. Because if you don’t… I will sacrifice you.” The Scapegoat is issuing an Open Challenge, who answers the call?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Lexy Nair is with The Black Hat Cowboy, and brings up that his indefinite suspension was lifted so that he could be the Wild Card in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The question on everyone’s mind would have to be then, “Why now?” Hangman repeats, “Why now?” Convenience. Not his, but theirs. The Elite didn’t care where Hangman was, how long he was gone, what was happening to him or his family. It didn’t matter, because the moment The Elite through they could use Hangman, they brought him back. But that isn’t why Hangman his here. Hangman says Lexy knows why, and Swerve knows why.
Hangman is going to burn through the rest of this tournament, he will go to Wembley Stadium, and he will right a wrong that should’ve ben handled a long time ago! Hangman swears to God, with his last breath, he will right this wrong, and BURN Swerve’s House to the ground! Lexy is very nervous as she says tonight, Hangman faces Jay White, who he has never defeated before. Hangman glares at Lexy, then storms off. Hangman is more than ready for a fight, will it be a real shootout between these Collision Cowboys?
Toni Storm w/ Mariah May & Luther VS Trish Adora w/ The Infantry!
While her protege is in the finals of the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, The Leading Lady is leading by example by getting back in action. Will Storm once again have the spotlight on “Colli-jon?” Or will the AfroPunk look to upstage the AEW Women’s World Champion?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, put up their dukes, and tie up. They goa round, Storm headlocks but Adora endures the grind. Adora powers up and pops out the back to headlock in return. Storm pops out the back to headlock in return. Adora powers up and out then RAMS shoulders! Storm stays up and eggs Adora on. Adora runs to RAM Storm again! The fans cheer and Storm pumps up. Storm runs, Adora follows then runs Storm over! Adora salutes, runs, but Storm trips her! Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Adora has a cradle, TWO! Storm stands, Adora trips her, and then pulls a leg into a cradle, TWO!
Storm storms up but Adora Alabama Lifts her! And swings her around, into the AIR RAID STRETCH! Storm endures and the fans rally up! Storm fights, Adora lets her down and snapmares her, to then have a motorcycle stretch! Adora steps over, and she bounces on Storm’s head! Adora then turns around, claps and the fans rally. Adora hooks the legs to a sunset flip, TWO! Storm flounders up but Adora pumps up. Adora ROCKS Storm, whips her to ropes, but Storm SHOTGUNS Adora back! Adora goes to the apron, Storm runs and HIP ATTACKS her to the floor! The Infantry is there to coach Adora but Storm asks for a standing ovation.
The fans give the standing ovation, and Storm sends us to commercial, so Collision goes picture in picture.
Storm marches around the outside, still ordering ovations, and the fans gladly give Storm what she wants. Storm does a full lap around the ring, comes back for Adora, and Adora BOOTS Storm down! Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean are all fired up, but Luther & Mariah storm up on them! That’s not exactly a fair fight, though it’s unclear who has the advantage. But then Mariah & Luther salute? The Infantry return it, and everyone stands down. Adora drags Storm up and into the ring, Storm goes to a corner, and Adora stomps her. Adora drags Storm up, reels her in, and snap suplexes! Bridging cover, TWO!
Storm flounders to a corner, Adora storms up on her, and Adora ROCKS Storm with a forearm. Storm goes to another corner, and Adora CHOPS! Storm falls and flounders, Adora stalks her, and the fans rally as Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Adora runs corner to corner, but Storm goes up and over! Storm runs in, she blocks boots and puts Adora in ropes, to DRAPING BACKSTABBER! Then Storm FISHERMAN SUPLEXES! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect but Storm won’t stop! Adora shoves Storm away, runs, but so does Storm! Adora scoops Storm for a SWINGING BACKBREAKER! Both women are down and the fans rally up. Mariah is worried for Storm as Storm grits her teeth. Adora brings Storm up, but Storm fires a forearm! Adora gives that back, they go back and forth! Storm JABS, JABS and JABS! Storm winds up, but Adora ducks!
Adora BASEMENT GERMAN SUPLEXES! Bridging cover, TWO! Storm escapes, but Adora goes corner to corner. Storm trips Adora, Adora hits buckles, and then Storm comes in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! And then DDT! Cover, TWO! Adora survives and the fans fire up! Storm drags Adora up, ROCKS her, then ROCKS her again. Adora rises, and she fires a forearm! They go back and forth, shot for shot! Adora roars, winds up, but Storm HEADBUTTS! Adora wobbles, but she BOOTS! Storm wobbles, Adora runs in, but Storm gets around to STORM ZERO!! Cover, Storm wins!
Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall
Adora was a powerful costar, but like all supporting actresses, she let the Leading Lady shine brightest. Storm is on a roll heading for All In, but will she be meeting her protege in that title match? Or will it be the Babe with the Power once she becomes a TWO-TIME Queen of Harts?
AEW hears from Willow Nightingale and Mariah May.
The Babe with the Power says, “Last year, still in my rookie year here in AEW, excitedly entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. This year, it’s not just about winning The Owen. Mariah May, I feel like you are in the same spot I was last year.” Mariah responds that if Willow’s The Babe with the Power, then call her The Chick with The Champ. Storm believes in Mariah. Storm believes that Mariah can win the Owen Hart Cup home to her family and friends at All In Wembley. Willow knows Mariah wants to have her moment in the spotlight in front of her whole family, but Willow’s had a chip on her shoulder the last year, because she sat on the couch and watched All In all alone.
Mariah says she will stop at nothing to bring The Cup home! This one’s for Storm! Powerhouse or protege, who gets to go All In with the AEW Women’s World Champion?
The Patriarchy speaks.
Christian Cage says last week, there were a lot of people left in awe when Jay White confronted The Patriarchy with his words. “Those same people were left in awe that Christian Cage seemingly let him get away with it. Well, Jay, this was never personal for me, but you made it persona. See, I simply promised my family the gift of the Trios Championships for their loyalty to me over the past year. I didn’t even know you were the Trios Champions! I had to Google who the Trios Champions were, that’s the type of run The Bang Bang Gang has been on.
“But I have to be honest with you, Jay, I’m not sure your head’s in the game anyway. Otherwise, why would you enter yourself into the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament? And it’s simple: That’s your exit strategy, isn’t it? And I can’t say I blame you. Look who you surrounded yourself with. Juice Robinson? The guy’s a child. The guy’s a child! Go suck on another fentanyl lollipop, you loser. And then you’ve got genetic waste of Billy Gunn, Austin & Colten. Actually… Colten has a little bit of promise, but that’s a story for another day.
“So Jay, I’m gonna do you a favor. I’m gonna take those Trios Championships off your hands, and I’ll do what I do best. I’m gonna revive them. I’m gonna take them to new heights. I’m gonna make them the most prestigious championships in AEW, and pave my road to the World Heavyweight Championship. And like I said, Jay, I’m doing you a favor. And I think you’re gonna make your boss, Tony Khan, very happy, and I think you’re gonna make the AEW fanbase very happy. Because I speak for all of us when I say they are tired of watching you contently tread water. I think they’d like to see The Switchblade they thought they were getting when they signed you here. Guns… Down.”
The Patriarchy then looks over and sees someone is hiding. What’s this guy doing in his space? Come here. It’s Kip Sabian! And he apologizes, but… Speak up already! Kip says he lost his father. No disrespect. Oh, well, the apple doesn’t fall far, right? So Kip’s dad must’ve been a loser. But hey, at least he isn’t around to see what a disgrace Kip’s career has become. The good news? His dad is gonna get a whole lot worse. Killswitch (Luchasaurus), take care of this. Kip begs for mercy but he’s THROWN around backstage! Christian, Mother Shayna & Nick enjoy the show. Superbad’s super bad timing aside, will The Patriarchy really tear down The Bang Bang Gang?
AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Jack Perry VS ???
The Scapegoat said earlier tonight that he was either going to “sacrifice” his opponent tonight, or they are going to “sacrifice” in order to win. So then, with such stakes behind this match, who will step up to Jack Perry? Wait, Jurassic Express theme…? It’s MARKO STUNT! The fans can’t believe it, and neither can Jack! Is Perry’s past about to come back to haunt him?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who lives that Jungle Life!
The bell rings and the fans fire up for their home state hero’s return. Marko and Jack stare down, and Marko says let’s do this. Jack tells Marko to just go away, don’t even bother trying. Marko HEADBUTTS instead! Mark fires off hands and the fans fire up! Jack shoves Marko away, then LARIATS him inside-out! The fans boo but Jack rains down forearms on Marko. Jack lets his hair down before he KICKS Marko in the back. Jack drags Marko up, but Marko fires body shots! So Jack CHOPS Marko down! Jack drags Marko up, CHOPS him again, but Southaven rallies up. Jack taunts the fans so they boo.
Jack drags Marko up to whip, but Marko BOOTS Jack! Marko ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Jack LAWN DARTS Marko into buckles! Cover, TWO!! Marko survives, and Jack laughs! Jack is almost amused by Marko toughing it out. The fans rally for Marko but Jack sits him up, to SLAP him down. Jack soaks up the heat, scuffs Marko around, and eggs Marko on. Marko SLAPS back! Jack kicks low, suplexes, but Marko RANAS through! Cover, TWO! Marko keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirl and CODE BREAKER! Jack flounders, Marko hurries to a corner and the fans are going wild!
Marko climbs, leaps, DRAGON RAN- NO!! Jack stops that to BUCKLE BOMB! Marko flops down, and Jack says time to sacrifice! GOAT KNEE! Cover, Jack wins!
Winner: Jack Perry, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Jack literally rubs the championship in Marko’s face. The fans boo but Jack revels in it, who else will he “sacrifice” for the so-called great good?
The House of Black speaks.
Malakai says, “It’s interesting. This is one of the first times that I don’t know what to say. Perhaps that is the beauty of this little conversation we’re about to have. See, people constantly want to know what’s going on with us in regards to Buddy Matthews. How we feel about it. We don’t feel anything. See, we don’t sweat out our feelers the same way as most of you do. No, for us, revenge is not some straight line, as Mr. King so adequately put it. No. For us, revenge is an imbalanced scale, waiting to be tipped back into perfect balance. It is a shadow hiding in the dark, waiting to be put back into the light.”
Brody King then tells Christian Cage, “Even though we feel nothing, we promise that you will feel everything.” The Kings of the Black Throne disappear into the night, when and where will they choose to strike?
Claudio Castagnoli VS The Beast Mortis!
The Blackpool Combat Club has been on a roller coaster ride lately. Jon Moxley lost the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, Wheeler Yuta has contenders gunning for his ROH Pure Championship, and Bryan Danielson will be in the finals of the Owen Hart Cup this Wednesday. So what is Claudio to do? Well, first he has to survive the monstrous minotaur! Will Claudio make it through The Beast Mortis to go for some gold this Summer? Or will Mortis prove to be The Swiss Superman’s Doomsday?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Claudio waistlocks, then he wrangles Mortis to the mat. Claudio facelocks, Mortis spins free to wrench, but Claudio rolls to kip up. Claudio wrenches, YANKS the arm, and has the wristlock. The fans cheer, but Mortis goes up the ropes to flip and wrench back! Mortis headlocks, Claudio powers out and they RAM shoulders! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Claudio eggs Mortis on, Mortis runs, but Claudio follows! Only for Mortis to CHOP BLOCK Claudio! The fans are torn as Mortis storms up on Claudio and CLUBS him. Mortis headlocks but Claudio powers free.
Claudio whips, Mortis reverses, Claudio catches the hurdle for a BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up and Claudio runs up to DOUBLE STOMP! The fans cheer, Claudio brings Mortis up and whips him. Mortis reverses again, runs up and UPPERCUTS, LARIATS and GAMANGIRIS in the corner, to then SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, ONE!! Claudio is tough but Mortis is mean. Mortis ROCKS Claudio, then he brings down the kneepads. Mortis goes corner to corner, but Claudio dodges! Mortis hits buckles, then falls out of the ring, onto a cameraman! The fans lose their minds over that one, but somehow both cameraman and Mortis get back up.
Only for Claudio to run up! Mortis moves, Claudio rolls back and flexes. The fans cheer, Claudio goes to the corner and checks with the cameraman. Cameraman is okay, so Claudio builds speed. Mortis slides in as Claudio slides out, then Mortis comes back, TORNILLO TOPE SUICIDA! Direct hit but Mortis’ leg still bothers him. The ref checks, Mortis gets to his feet, and fans boo as he stalks Claudio. Mortis puts Claudio in, RAMS into him, then slingshots to get moving! Claudio swings, Mortis ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! Claudio staggers up, Mortis runs in, but Claudio POSTS him! Claudio then drags Mortis back in for a BIG running back suplex!
The fans fire up with Claudio, and even chant “Whoop Dat Trick!” as Collision goes picture in picture.
Collision drags Mortis up, bumps him off buckles, and again, and again, and again! The ref counts, Claudio keeps going but lets off at 4. The fans applaud and Claudio brings Mortis back up. Claudio bumps Mortis off buckles again, then dribbles him some more! The ref counts, Claudio stops at 4, and Mortis slumps down in the corner. Claudio hears the fans and says okay, they’ll go again. Claudio gets Mortis to a third corner, and dribbles him off the buckle! The ref again counts, so Claudio again lets off at 4. Mortis slumps back down, but Claudio figures they should finish the lap! Claudio goes to the fourth corner, and he again dribbles Mortis!
The ref again counts, rather annoyed at this point, but Claudio still stops before 4. Claudio has the fans all fired up, and he then goes up a corner. Mortis stands, into the CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Claudio keeps on Mortis with a top wristlock. Mortis endures, even as Claudio steps over for leverage. Claudio shifts his grip, bends fingers, then goes back to the wristlock. Mortis still endures, fights around, and reaches out. Collision returns to single picture as Mortis fights up. Mortis ROCKS Claudio, Claudio ROCKS Mortis! They go forearm for forearm, CHOP for CHOP, and repeat! Claudio is feeling it, and he fires a flurry!
The fans fire up as Claudio whips corner to corner. Claudio runs in but into a BOOT! Mortis SLING DOGS! Claudio gets up but Mortis dodges to POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! Claudio sputters but he is still in this. Mortis snarls, the fans rally up, and Mortis runs up, but Claudio sends him into buckles! Claudio LARIATS, whips, but Mortis goes up and up and FLYING HEADBUTTS! Mortis rises, Claudio staggers and shakes out his arms. Mortis runs in, into an UPPERCUT! Claudio reels Mortis in, but Mortis back drops free! Claudio gets up, both men run, SPEAR!! But Mortis can’t make the cover!
The fans rally, Mortis crawls to a cover, TWO! Claudio crawls to ropes, Mortis rises and runs back in! Claudio ELBOWS Mortis first! Mortis returns again, jumps up, but Claudio DUMPS him out hard! The ref checks on Mortis but he stands again. That leg is holding up somehow, so Claudio goes put, high five to that cameraman! Claudio runs in to UPPERCUT Mortis against railing! The fans fire up and Claudio puts Mortis back in. Claudio then grabs the legs and the fans cheer! Mortis BOOTS free, then HEADBUTTS Claudio! Roll-up, TWO! Claudio runs in, into a spin and torture rack! RACK BACKBREAKER DROP!! Cover, TWO!!
Mortis seethes while Claudio writhes. Mortis drags Claudio up, lifts, but Claudio slips free! Claudio shoves, Mortis ELBOWS him! Mortis goes up, leaps, into an UPPERCUT! Claudio hears the fans fire up, so he gives ’em what they want! GIANT SWING!! Mortis goes around and around and around, for TEN! Claudio powers up, pumps up, and runs, runs and LARIATS!! Cover, Claudio wins!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall
That’s six straight wins for the Swiss Superman! That’s usually the magic number, so will Claudio get himself a shot at some gold?
Backstage interview with Matthew Menard.
Lexy Nair is with the bandaged up Daddy Magic and says after what we saw on Dynamite, there are a lot of questions concerning Daniel Garcia’s condition. And obviously, Menard got roughed up, as well. How are they feeling? Not great, Lexy. Not at all. Concussion, headaches, light sensitivity, hence his sunglasses. But you wanna know Garcia’s condition? He is at home in Buffalo. He made it home, but he has lost all strength in the left side of his body. There is good news, though. Garcia will be making a full recovery. And good news for MJF, too. Because Menard promised Danny that Danny will get the satisfaction of being the first one to get his hands on MJF.
Menard says MJF won’t know when that happens. It could be six months from now, a year. But when that day comes, Max, when it comes, Menard promises MJF it won’t be the smooth dancing Daniel Garcia. No. Menard takes off the glasses to look right into the camera. MJF will be getting RED, DEATH. When and where will Garcia have his vengeance on the Wolf of Wrestling?
Program, activate.
A man jumps through a portal, and comes out the other side a hero! “Loading soon.” Was that… AEROSTAR?!
Serena Deeb speaks.
“Last week, we saw the return of my good friend, Riho, and Riho… I was just as surprised to see you as everybody else was. It is good to have you back. We have a history, people still to this day talk about the match we had at Double or Nothing 2021. And that’s what you call, making history. So if Riho wants to run this back, I’m fine with that. But please understand that I’m not the same wrestler that I was in 2021. I’m not the same woman that I was in 2021. See, I’ve been through so much in the past three years, but I’ve gotten so much stronger. And I’ve evolved into the best in-ring wrestler in this entire division.
“So Riho, you wanna do this again? Let’s do it. And we’re gonna find out if you’re really as you claim to be, on the same level as the Professor of Professional Wrestling.” Deeb smiles, having thrown down the challenge. Will the original AEW Women’s World Champion respond with actions rather than words? Or is she about to freeze up against the Coolest Wrestler Ever?
Riho VS Lady Frost!
The bell rings, the two circle, and the two tie up. Frost powers Riho to a corner, lets off quickly, and then Riho runs up. Frost gets around to waistlock, Riho switches and pushes Frost to ropes, but Frost bucks the O’Conner. Frost runs Riho over, covers, ONE as Riho goes Matrix! The fans fire up, Riho runs but Frost avoids the dropkick! Frost flips Riho, brings hers up, but Riho arm-drags! Riho runs in, whips, but Frost goes up and over. Frost handsprings, mule kicks, and runs to ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Frost is already annoyed but Riho drops back to a corner. Frost runs in but Riho moves!
Frost stops the handspring but Riho BOOTS her! Riho drop toeholds Frost, dials it up, 619! Frost flounders away, Riho goes up! Frost rises, the fans fire up, and Riho CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Frost stay sin this but Riho stays cool as she brings Frost up. Riho bumps Frost off buckles, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Riho goes corner to corner and back again, to JUMP KNEE! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! INTO A CROSSFACE! Frost endures, claws at the grip, and she rolls Riho to a cover, TWO! Riho lets go in time but Frost knees low! Frost bumps Riho off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, but lets off as the ref counts. Frost whips Riho corner to corner, Riho reverses. Riho runs in but into BOOTS! Frost then cartwheels over Riho, to basement dropkick! Frost drags Riho to a cover, TWO! Frost is seeing that toughness but she brings Riho up. Frost puts Riho in a corner, hushes the fans, then CHOPS! Riho is stinging but Frost says one more time!
Frost turns Riho around so she can CHOP again! Riho shouts from the pain, so Frost swings again. Riho dodges, and now she CHOPS! Frost frowns, there wasn’t enough on that. Riho says one more time then! And she CHOPS! That one Frost felt! Frost reels Riho in to suplex hard! Riho grits her teeth, Frost storms up on her, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Frost has Riho down in the motorcycle stretch. The fans rally as Riho endures, and she fights to turn things around. Riho brings Frost up to ROCK her with forearm after forearm! Frost ROCKS Riho back, runs, but Riho gets around! Riho body shots, runs, RANA but not a clean one! Riho DROPKICKS Frost outta the ring! Frost hobbles, the fans rally, and Riho goes up and up to SUPER CROSSBODY! A clipping shot but enough to knock Frost down! Riho rises, Frost shakes out her legs. Riho puts Frost in, shakes out an arm, then goes up top. Riho aims to DIVING- NO, Frost avoids the stomp!
Riho rolls through, avoids the spin kick but not the ROUNDHOUSE! Frost cartwheels into the Alabama Lift, spin and CHILLA DRILLA! Cover, TWO?! Riho survives and Frost is shocked! Frost drags Riho to a drop zone, goes up, but Riho anchors her! Frost kicks at Riho, but Riho fires forearms! Frost shoves Riho, runs, but Riho KNEES her against ropes! Riho runs but Frost ROCKS her! Frost runs, Riho follows, they each ROCK the other! Frost OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEXES! The fans fire up and Frost snarls as she stomps Riho. Frost goes up the corner, for the MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!!
Riho is still in this and Frost is beside herself! Frost drags Riho up, reels her in for a fireman’s carry, but Riho flails! Riho fights free, full nelsons, and SNAP DRAGON SUPLEXES! Shoutout to The Cleaner, and Riho wrenches to SOS!! AKA Run Hey! Cover, Riho wins!
Winner: Riho, by pinfall
It was a rough return to AEW, but the inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion wins out in the end! Frost shows respect to Riho, but is Riho’s bad arm now a prime target for Serena Deeb?
Backstage interview with Shane Taylor Promotions and Top Flight.
Some deja vu as Lexy mediates this meeting of trios. There is a lot of history here, but it will all come to a head next week on Rampage, in Memphis, Tennessee, when these trios have a Six Man Tag. Shane says that the last few weeks, these boys got a past. STP should’ve beat their asses back a few weeks ago. And while Dante Martin was playing on ladders with Lio, STP could’ve had Darius & Action “touched up.” Action says, “Could’ve? Well guess what? Wait’s over. Because next week, the six of us are settling this on Rampage, right here in Memphis, Tennessee!” Darius says Shane might think Top Flight is scared, but no one’s been ducking anyone.
So if STP wants to rumble, then let’s go. Dante brings up how Shane wants to say Dante was playing on ladders. Well, uh, at least Dante was on the PPV. And if he wants to bring up Lio Rush, isn’t he the one that cleaned house last time? Lee Moriarty says why wait ’til next week? Let’s go right now! Keep playing! Shane has #TAIGASTYLE stand down, and Ogogo says hey! This ain’t the jungle gym no more. This the fight game, and they’ll smash you up! STP heads out, are they going to ground Top Flight once and for all? Or will Darius, Dante & Action be too fast and too furious to be stopped?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

2024 Men’s Owen Hart Cup Semifinal: Hangman Page VS Jay White w/ The Bang Bang Gang!
We saw The Black Hat crush the hopes of Jeff Jarrett on Dynamite when he was dealt as The Wild Card, but he also told Matthew & Nicholas to shove their self-serving apology. Will Hangman now make it real easy for Jay White to focus on the Trios Championships by knocking him out of the tournament? Or will we all Breathe with The Switchblade?
But wait, BREAKING NEWS via Bobby Cruise. The EVPs, the Young Bucks, have decided that Juice Robinson & The Gunns are to be ejected from the building! White throws a fit, as does the rest of the gang, and Hangman grumbles that this is The Bucks doing him more favors. But in the end, this will be a fair 1v1 match now. White claims Hangman got The Bucks to do this for him, he’s still Elite, but then Hangman RAMS White right into the corner! The ref has Hangman back off, and the bell rings. Hangman runs back in but White headlocks. Hangman powers out and runs White over! Then he stomps away on White!
White bails out, Hangman pursues, but White KNEES low. Hangman ROCKS White back! The fans fire up as they go around the way, and Hangman puts White in the ring. White stomps Hangman now, RAMS him into a corner, but Hangman CLUBS away on White! White crawls, Hangman stands him up and CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” while White falls back to a corner. White kicks low, kicks some more, then fires forearms. White backs Hangman down, but Hangman DECKS him! Hangman scowls, the ref checks on White, and White revives. White also clings to the ref, but Hangman drags him up.
Hangman scoops White, for a FALL AWAY SLAM! The fans are torn while White flounders, but Hangman scowls as he rises up. White goes to the apron, Hangman storms over, triangle jump LARIAT HOTSHOT! White storms in to CHOP! And CHOP! And then he RAMS into Hangman! White CHOPS again, but Hangman shoves White. White returns, but Hangman BOOTS him! The ref checks White again but he’s okay to continue. White goes to the apron, Hangman storms over, and the fans rally up. Hangman drags White up, but White HOTSHOTS again! Hangman sputters his way to a corner, but he comes back to triangle jump LARIAT!
The fans fire up as Hangman goes out and RAMS White into barriers! Hangman dribbles White off the railing, and he soaks up the cheers and jeers as he goes back to the ring. Hangman refreshes the count, the fans rally for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Hangman hauls White up. Hangman puts White in, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then shows off the damage he did to the railing using White. Hangman storms in, BLADE- NO, Hangman slips free and he CLAWS White’s face! The ref reprimands but Hangman puts on a SLEEPER, then he SWINGS White! And he DROPS White, to then HAMMER away on him!
Hangman KICKS White, KICKS him more, but the ref has him let off as White bails out. The fans fire up while White flounders around, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hangman seethes, and is White really egging him on? A ring count starts but Hangman goes out to fetch White. Hangman brings White up, but White RAMS Hangman into and over steel steps! The ref checks both guys and they’re somehow okay. Hangman get sup, and he LARIATS White and himself up and over railing! Hangman stands up, forehead busted open, but totally unfazed! Hangman TOSSES White back over the railing, and White scrambles into the ring. Hangman snarls as the crimson mask grows. Hangman steps in, stalks White, and drags him up. Hangman RAMS White into a corner, then puts him up top.
Hangman CHOPS White, White punches back! They brawl as Hangman works to climb up. White rains down fists right on the bloody forehead, then he BOOTS Hangman away! Collision returns as White hops down to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP again! Hangman ROCKS White and White goes back to a corner. Hangman runs up, but White dodges. White blocks Hangman’s boot to KNEE JAMMER! Then White grabs at the leg, but Hangman pushes him away. White blocks another kick, to DRAGON SCREW! Hangman hobbles to a corner, White UPPERCUTS! White JABS, JABS, CHOPS, repeat! The ref counts, White CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS!
Hangman HEADBUTTS back! Hangman swings, White dodges, and White CLAWS at Hangman’s eyes! The ref counts, White lets off, and he wipes Hangman’s blood on himself. White whips, Hangman reverses, White slides to a stop. Hangman takes a swing, White spins him into a DDT! Cover, TWO!! Hangman stays in this but White stays focused.

Hangman loads up again, and he slingshots to BUCKSHOT!! Cover, Hangman wins!!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (advances to the finals)
Controversy and then some, and now Hangman heads to Calgary! Is the Black Hat going to stampede all over Bryan Danielson? Or will Hangman fail to slay the American Dragon? And as for Jay White, Christian Cage just made sure he has nothing better to do, will The Bang Bang Gang take aim at The Patriarchy?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, but it had the misfortune of going up against a great WWE MITB. Very good promo from MJF, namely that he called back to almost a year ago with his Face turn promo. I feel like his explanation of why he turned on Garcia was a bit convoluted, because clearly it was that Garcia made MJF an afterthought when Ospreay offered his title match. It would’ve worked better if MJF said he turned on Garcia because like the fans, Garcia chose Ospreay over him. Either way, we’re obviously getting MJF VS Ospreay for All In. And Menard had a great promo to put MJF on notice for Garcia’s return, and I feel like Garcia could make a “miraculous return” at All In once MJF VS Ospreay ends. Garcia goes after MJF, regardless if he has a title or not, and they take that to All Out.
Great promo from Conglomeration, real fun match from Conglomeration VS Iron Savages, and of course Undisputed Kingdom was around. I’m thinking the Six Man Tag of Conglomeration VS Kingdom is for All In, and with Cassidy’s souring mood, I wonder if he just goes berserk and Orange Punches everyone, The Kingdom and teammates, to become this rogue Tweener version of himself. Very good promo from Jack Perry to hype his AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge, and an honestly great surprise that Marko Stunt returned. But of course Jack won so that he’d have his first title defense already done with.
Toni Storm VS Trish Adora was a really good match, but I figured Storm was gonna win. Storm keeps her momentum up, and I feel like her character is still unaware that if Mariah wins the Cup, they have to face each other. I would love if Storm just expects Mariah to Finger Poke of Doom for her and then Mariah rebels to make it a competitive match, but who knows. Great just-because match from Claudio VS Mortis, though I was really worried for Mortis after falling on the cameraman. Claudio winning helps lead into that “Global Glory” Fatal 4. And if that match really is to help determine an International Championship #1 contender, it’d be fitting if it was Fletcher. Fletcher would find himself stuck between Ospreay and the Don Callis Family, and that’s good story.
Good promo from Serena Deeb, but uh, sorry, I didn’t even remember Deeb VS Riho was on Double or Nothing 2021. I barely remember any of Double or Nothing 2021 as it is. Good match from Riho VS Frost, but the back to back botches of the rana and the crossbody kinda killed the mood. Riho still won of course, she’s got momentum going into her match with Deeb. Good promo from STP and Top Flight, but for what feels like the 100th time, Tony Khan not paying attention to all the stories causes references like what Shane made tonight. The trios were supposed to have it out, but then TK puts Dante in the TNT Championship Ladder match, etc. At least now these trios will have it out, and maybe Lio Rush returns to have a part to play.
But hey, the main event still lived up to expectations. Hangman had a great promo, he really got fired up, and then even The Patriarchy’s story got involved. Good promo from The Patriarchy, too, especially with how they treated poor Kip. Maybe Kip ends up factoring into Patriarchy VS Bang Bang Gang, but Christian screwing White over in The Owen was some clever stuff. Hangman being in his own Tweener state makes for some good stuff, he’s just gonna be fighting everyone on the roster at this rate. Bryan VS Hangman is set, and Swerve VS Hangman at All In certainly feels like the move they’re going for. The Bucks also backhandedly helping is a good detail, it might compel Hangman to actually be on Team AEW for Blood & Guts.
My Score: 8.8/10

Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Phoenix, Arizona!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?
Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold!

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Will Ospreay VS Hangman Page!
While Jon Moxley continues his reign of terror, that is ironically in the background of this. The Aerial Assassin and The Blackhat Cowboy have battled long and hard to prove they are worthy of this moment, and of everything that has come before. Ospreay wants this, Hangman needs this, and while they’ll both give it everything they’ve got, only one of them can go All In. Will the story of the 2025 Owen Hart Cup be about Ospreay’s ascension?

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)
Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?
Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.
Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.
Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…
That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.
Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.
Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.
This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.
And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.
My Score: 9.3/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes out the TNT Champion, Adam Cole! The fans in Albuquerque fire up as Cole makes his way to the ring. They join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole then joins commentary, and Schiavone brings out the guests for this contract signing. First of all, alongside Stokely Hathaway, it is FTR! The fans boo as #BigStoke and his #TopGuys walk to the ring. They sarcastically pat Schiavone on the back and he asks for some decorum. Now to FTR’s opponents! First of all, Daniel Garcia! The fans cheer as Red Death makes his way out here, Daddy Magic by his side. They join everyone in the ring, and Garcia shakes Schiavone’s hand.
Schiavone notes Menard here with Garcia. Garcia’s partner for Sunday is one of the most decorated ROH wrestlers ever, THE Nigel McGuinness! The fans cheer as Nigel makes his way out, throws up deuces, and he joins the rest in the ring. Schiavone has the contract for the sanctioned tag team match. Stokely takes the contract while Cash Wheeler takes the mic. “Out of the kindness of our hearts, we asked you two out here, face to face, to give you one more chance to reconsider!” Cash hushes the fans, and he says no matter how much Garcia has hurt FTR, how much Garcia has stabbed them in the back, FTR still see Garcia as a son.
Is Garcia throwing all of that away for nobodies like Daddy Magic? And Nigel, you get paid to talk now, but it’ll pay to shut your mouth and listen! He doesn’t understand how much trouble he’s talked his way into! Cash tells the fans HE is talking! Nigel hides behind commentary and makes jokes, claim he’s retired, then physically interject himself into FTR’s business?! This Sunday, there is no desk to hide behind! There is no magic trick to save his ass! It is Nigel, a shell of his former self, against the greatest tag team of all time! Is Nigel sure he wants this? FTR finishes signing their part, and then they pass the contract back to Schiavone.
Schiavone hands the contract to Garcia, and Garcia also gets the mic. Garcia says he was having trouble hearing Cash there. The fans cheer Garcia, and Garcia says he does still care for FTR. That is not something that just goes away. But he has to look at them now and see they are selfish, narcissistic sociopaths! They say Garcia turned on them, but no, they turned on him. FTR turned their backs on everyone who has ever cared about them! They have crossed too many lines to count, and now Garcia stands up for himself. But not just for himself, but for Schiavone, for Daddy Magic, for Adam Copeland and his family, and for everybody here that has had enough of FTR!
The fans cheer and Garcia says FTR is right about one thing: They are the greatest tag team that wrestling has ever seen. But this Sunday, it won’t be a wrestling match. It’ll be a fight! Garcia is coming to fight! Nigel, Garcia knows you’re worried, you have that little voice of doubt. But the thing is, no matter what FTR says, no matter how Nigel feels, Garcia sees Nigel walking those halls. Garcia sees that look in his eyes. It was the look Nigel had when he was wrestling Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, and being one of the GREATEST ROH Champions of all time! The fans cheer and Dax wants everyone to calm down.
Garcia says no matter what FTR says or how Nigel feels, Garcia and the fans all know, you still got it! The fans cheer that, “You Still Got It!” Garcia tells Nigel that if he’s not getting the Nigel we all know, then don’t bother signing the contract. Garcia signs his part, and Nigel speaks. Whether he still has it or not, we find out at Double or Nothing. But before Nigel signs, he needs FTR’s word, whatever that’s worth these days, that after Sunday, win, lose or draw… FTR does NOT touch Schiavone or Nigel ever again! You do not even TALK to them ever again! In fact, don’t even LOOK their way ever again! Because if they do, Nigel promises them, it’ll be Top Guys Out for good!
The fans cheer, FTR seems to accept that, and Nigel holds the contract. But Dax still has to talk… The fans boo, and Dax says hey, hold on. Before they all wrap this up, he wants to tell Nigel to look him in the eyes. Dax has to know. He has to know this is what Nigel wants. This isn’t 2009, when it was all about Nigel. It is 2025 and Nigel has a beautiful family he has to think about. Dax knows the business has beat Nigel up through the years. But if Nigel wants FTR to finish the job, then sign the contract. But if Nigel signs it, it is his blood on his own hands. If Nigel signs, what happens at Double or Nothing is not on FTR.
Or, Nigel can turn around, leave the ring, walk back to commentary “where you belong,” and they can just forget about all this. They’ll put it behind them. And then maybe, all of them can even be friends again. Dax pats Nigel on the cheek, and Nigel grabs the mic. “I’m only gonna ask you this once: Don’t put your hands on me again.” Dax laughs that off and says hold on! Why so serious? This is just business! Cuz if this were personal… Dax would’ve already splattered Nigel’s nose across his face. But this is business, and Sunday, FTR will be businessmen. Dax just hopes so can Nigel. Dax touches Nigel’s shoulder, Nigel grabs that arm!
Nigel puts Dax in a corner, Cash SHOVES Garcia into Menard! Stoke bails, Schiavone isn’t far behind, and Cash storms up on Nigel. Nigel HEADBUTTS Cash, and Garcia fires hands! Dax kicks Nigel, but Nigel WRINGS Dax’s arm! Garcia has Cash’s legs, Nigel has Dax’s arm! DRAGON TAMER and SHANKLY GATES!! FTR is tapping out! Menard dares Stoke to try something! Security rushes out, FTR is set free, and they retreat with Stoke while fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Nigel gets the mic back, and the pen, and he says if they want to look in his eyes, come Sunday, he’ll look into their souls!
“At Double or Nothing, THIS… ENDS!” Nigel signs and it is official! Will nothing stop Nigel & Garcia from making FTR tap out again?
Toni Storm speaks.
“So many women have died when they are young, only for their bodies to be buried much later. But you, Mina Shirakawa, have only ever made me feel very much alive. I have appreciated you, I have admired you, and by gawd, have I envied you. But now, you’re here to stay. The safari is over. And it’s much more difficult to survive the squared jungle when this pussy is on the prowl. I’ve always had a premonition that this journey would end in tragedy. So if there’s anyone can stop this belt from shining in my reflection at All In, then there is nobody more talented than you.
“I just have one request: Sunday, give me your damndest in the desert! Make me fight for my fate in Phoenix! Let’s drag out tits through the dirt, and let’s make every cactus cream in celebration! And then, decades from now, when we’re in the wrestler retirement home, giving Brutus Beefcake a lap dance, I will turn to you and say, ‘Dammit! You lusty, busty bastard! We lived!'” The Timeless One has come to terms with what could be, but what will happen when she and the Fighting Gravure Idol go Double or Nothing?

The CMLL Trios Champions and their amigo in the CMLL Middleweight Champion take down the Mexican National Tag Team and the living legend that leads them! Will these stars shine even brighter once AEW visits Arena Mexico in June?
AEW hears from Anna Jay, Harley Cameron, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford.
The Queenslayer says, “Penelope, Megan, we are not finished with you.” The Wild Aussie says, “We’ve still got plenty of fruit left on these vines!” They will have a tag team match with them. The Megasus says when weaklings keep trying, some call it perseverance. Megan just calls it delusion. She has beat them both, but was that not enough? Anna says she doesn’t care who, one of them is getting choked out! Harley says she’s got some grapes of WRATH coming! The Superbad Girl says if they want a match so bad on Sunday, then don’t worry about her. Megan tells them to pray God shows them mercy, because Megan never will. That is, unless they #BowDown!
And so it is official! The Double or Nothing Buy-In will see Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford! Who will win big this Sunday to perhaps even head for golden opportunities for the Summer?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“Willow. Who do you think I hang out with? What do you think I do? What’d I ever do to you? Besides spear you off the stage, drop you headfirst onto thumbtacks, and choke you with a chain… You may have a point. But, here’s mine. I’m sorry. I’ve made mistakes, but I am a very dangerous person. So be careful who you push, because they might just push back.” The Galaxy’s Greatest gave a friendly warning, but it was still a warning. Will this #BornAgainKristen find herself ruining her testament over an old grudge?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey & Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
Part two of the double main event is here, and it has even more high-flying, hard hitting lucha libre! Bailey is still getting his shot at Kazuchika Okada and the Continental Championship, but will he and the Commander of the Skies survive this Collision? Or will Rush y Dralistico make sure Bailey is in no shape to face the Rainmaker?
Rush makes his entrance, but where is Dralistico? Dralistico attacks from behind! The fans boo as Dralistico knocks Komander and Bailey down! The bell rings and Dralistico stomps away on Bailey. Dralistico then goes out to ROCK Komander, letting Rush go after Bailey with a whip into railing! Bailey falls but Rush stands him up to THROW into more railing! Dralistico does the same to Komander, then SMACKS him off the desk! Dralistico CHOPS Komander, Rush HEADBUTTS away on Bailey, and Rush says HE is number one! Dralistico BOOTS Komander down! Rush SMACKS Bailey off the desk, then grabs that can of iDrinq!
Rush SMASHES the can in Bailey’s face! The ref reprimands, Rush y Dralistico revel in the cheers and jeers, and they mug Bailey. They put Bailey in the ring, then THROW Komander into railing. The fans rally for Speedball, but Dralistico stomps him down, Dralistico drags Bailey up by his hair, puts him against the ropes, and Rush holds Bailey up so Dralistico can CHOP! Bailey might as well have been shot! Rush CHOPS, whips, but Bailey grabs ropes! Bailey BOOTS Rush, BOOTS Dralistico, then Komander tags in! DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! LFI bails out, the fans fire up, and Komander coordinates with Bailey.
Komander and Bailey both build speed, and they both DIVE onto LFI! Then they trade, and they DIVE the other way! The fans fire up as the two slide back in, go again, and DIVE! But LFI say “Nope!” and let both men crash ‘n’ burn! The fans fire up while Collision goes picture in picture.
Bailey writhes, Rush stalks him, and Dralistico stands on the barriers to soak up cheers and jeers. Rush throws body shots on Bailey, HEABUTTS him, then leaves him behind to taunt fans. Meanwhile, Dralistico POSTS Komander! Dralistico puts Komander in a GROUND COBRA TWIST, Rush RAMS Bailey into the steel steps, and then Dralistico puts Komander in the ring. Dralistico hoists Komander up top, then HAMMERS away on him! Dralistico pulls at the mask, the ref reprimands, and Komander fights back. Dralistico traps Komander’s arm to CLAW at the mask! Komander still fights, so Dralistico puts him in the Tree of Woe, for a KICK!
Komander flops to the mat and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico drags Komander from the corner to then tie up the legs and pull on an arm! Komander endures, Dralistico STOMPS the knees, and Dralistico soaks up heat. Dralistico bumps Komander off buckles, sits him down, then runs side to side for a SUPERKICK! Dralistico lounges on the ropes and says tranquilo! Dralistico tags Rush, LFI mugs Komander, and Rush even SPITS at Bailey! The ref keeps Bailey back while Collision returns to single picture. LFI mug Komander more, and Rush CHOPS! Komander sputters, Rush whips him corner to corner, then whips Dralistico.
Komander goes up and over Dralistico, rolls, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he RANAS Dralistico hard! Rush runs up, Komander dodges and springboards to DROPKICK! The fans fire up, hot tag to Dralistico, and he waits on Komander. Komander crawls, hot tag to Bailey! Bailey BOOTS Dralistico, BOOTS Rush, then he fires LIGHTNING KICKS on Dralistico! The fans fire up and Bailey ENZIGIRIS! Dralistico runs up, Bailey mule kicks, AX KICKS, and BUZZSAWS! Then STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Bailey glares at Rush, the fans rally up, and Bailey sits Dralistico up again. PENALTY KICK! STANDING-
NO, Dralistico moves, Bailey lands out, and Dralistico DREAMCAST KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tag to Rush! Rush storms up on Bailey, eggs him on, and drags him up. Bailey ROCKS Rush, but Rush brushes that off. Rush ROCKS Bailey and eggs Bailey on. Bailey and Rush fire forearm after forearm, and then they CHOP back and forth! The fans fire up, Rush eggs Bailey on again, then he blocks Bailey’s kick! Rush trips Bailey, Bailey avoids the stomps! Bailey runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Rush CHOPS! And CHOPS! Bailey runs, Rush dodges, ROLLING ELBOW! Bailey falls into a corner and the fans fire up!
Rush stomps away on Bailey, then runs corner to corner. Rush runs back in, feints the horns to BOOT Bailey! Rush says, “Tranquilo!” The fans are torn but Rush tags Dralistico. Rush sets Bailey up, Bailey shoves Rush away and Komander GAMANGIRIS! Rush flops out, Dralistico springboards in, but Bailey dodges! Bailey SUPERKICKS! Dralistico tumbles out, Komander is on the far corner! TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULT from Bailey, tightrope walk and ESCALARA from Komander! The fans are thunderous as Komander takes down LFI! Komander and Bayiley high-five, then they get Dralistico in the ring.
Komander puts Rush in the drop zone, and now both Komander and Bailey climb! They aim at LFI, DOUBLE SHOOTING STARS!! Cover, TWO?!? LFI survives and the fans can’t believe it! Abrahantes coaches his guys, “This is Awesome!” Bailey kicks Rush out, tags Komander in, and they focus on Dralistico! Komander springboards to FLYING DESTROYER!! Cover, RUSH BREAKS IT! Rush stands Komander up just to HEABUTT him back down! Bailey runs up, Rush sidesteps and SNAP GERMANS! Bailey flounders into a SLIDING KNEE! Rush fires up, the fans are torn, but he coordinates with Dralistico.
The fans duel as Rush goes out to get Bailey. Dralistico brings Komander up in a corner, and he underhooks, SUPER FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!?! Komander survives and the fans fire up! Rush runs up on Bailey but is sent into steel steps! Dralistico is shocked, but Komander gives him a POISON-RANA! Hot tag to Bailey! Bailey hurries to spin and TIME ADVENTURE! Komander adds the CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Bailey’s team wins!
Winners: “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Komander, by pinfall
A high-speed combo wins it for- WAIT! The coin drops, and here comes Okada! The Continental Champion walks down the ramp, eyes on Bailey in the ring. Champion and challenger are face to face, and Bailey gives a respectful bow before offering a handshake. Okada reaches out, only to flip Bailey off! The fans are torn, but Bailey KICKS that finger and HEEL KICKS Okada! Okada tumbles out, Bailey builds speed, and Bailey FLIES! Down goes Okada and Bailey stands up with the belt! Will Speedball be too fast to be touched by the rain? Or will no one stop Okada’s reign of terror?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision considering it is the go-home to Double or Nothing. But that said, it felt like a lot of last-minute promos were shoved onto this. Dustin & Sammy didn’t say anything more than what was said last night on Dynamite, and at least the one from Harley, Anna, Megan & Penelope established their match for The Buy-In. Toni’s was very good, as they always are, but it doesn’t add much from last night as the math already said Toni was winning. Very good promo for the tag team match contract signing, though, with a great brawl as part of it. Nigel & Garcia might win, but I mostly expect Adam Copeland to make his return as part of it.
Very good match from Mercedes VS Isis but it makes sense it wasn’t very long given we knew Mone would win. It was mostly a vehicle for one last confrontation of Hayter and Mone before the PPV. It still feels very likely that Mone wins so that she can face Toni and maybe they go title VS title at All In. Great stuff with the Don Callis Family throughout the night, all members getting wins tonight to stay strong. Great match of Paragon VS GYV, great win for Paragon, and instead of just cutting to the chase of Cole VS someone for the TNT Championship, they’re given us a Six Man Tag. That’s fine, because I expect whoever wins for Don Callis Family is the guy that faces Cole for the TNT Championship either at Fyter Fest or the first-ever “Summer Blockbuster.”
Maybe Excalibur misspoke but I know he called the lucha libre trios match a “main event.” Either way, great CMLL Six Man Tag, and naturally the Faces won that. It was just for a lot of fun, I would’ve thought maybe they could put this on the Buy-In, but it at least makes for good marketing on the road to Grand Slam: Mexico. And great tag match main event from Bailey & Komander VS LFI. Not sure what happened to them doing Titans of the Air, Komander & Hologram as a duo, but that’s typical AEW. Bailey’s team of course won so that he has momentum, and then Okada shows up so that Bailey can also stand tall over him. All that math adds up to Okada retaining at Double or Nothing, but it’ll be a great match for Bailey, too.
My Score: 8.8/10
