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!

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!

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!

A star-studded match, will the winner look to challenge for the International Championship in the near future?
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!

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

Thunder Rosa VS Harley Cameron!
La Mera Mera told us during Collision that she’ll be watching Mariah VS Mina very closely. But will she make sure to focus on the crazy Aussie that won’t leave her alone? Or will she feel the wrath of… Harley-gram?

Harley whips, Rosa reverses, but Harley slips around to roll Rosa up. TWO, but Harley is right on Rosa. Harley knees low, then she THROWS Rosa down by her hair! Then Harley-gram takes off her mask to reveal, “IT WAS ME!” It was Harley Cameron all along! Well, duh. Harley grins, but Rosa CHOPS her down! And CHOPS her again! And CHOPS her again! Rosa brings Harley up to whip, then she DROPKICKS Harley down!
The fans cheer and Rosa says SHE is a luchadora! Rosa storms up, blocks Harley’s boot, then puts Harley’s leg in the ropes. Then she puts the other leg in the ropes!

Rosa isn’t done there, she tucks Harley in! Harley fights but Rosa still lifts her, PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! Cover, Rosa wins!
Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall
Harley tried to trick us all, but Rosa took her down again! Rosa holds up a fan’s sign that says, “Women’s Wrestling is Alive and Well,” and that is most certainly true! Will Rosa then be leading the charge as she chases down whoever has the AEW Women’s World title?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette is with The CEO, and Mone tells, “Rampaaage~! Say hello to your C E O.” Renee brings up Dynamite and Kamille but Mone stops her there. Mone does not ever wanna hear that name out of Renee’s mouth ever again. Mone is NOT here to talk about Kamille. She is here to celebrate a special edition Lucha Libre Rampage! Everyone knows how much Mone loves lucha libre. Eddie Guerrero is still Mone’s favorite, she grew up watching him, so she is just feeling some type of way. She is so thankful during this time of year, and she is most thankful for… herself! Mone is thankful for her and her money.
And before asking another question, Renee, we all know Christmas is around the corner. And what Mone wants is even more championship gold! And we all know money changes everything. It seems the TBS Championship AND NJPW Strong Women’s Championships are not enough, but will the world (title) never be enough for The CEO?

Backstage interview with Nick & Mother Wayne.
Renee Paquette is now with the Patriarchy’s Prodigy and Matriarch, and brings up that per the request of Christian Cage, it will be Nick Wayne VS Hook in the Hammerstein Ballroom! Does Nick feel prepared for this match? Nick smirks, and says he signed a contract to AEW when he was just 16 years old, before he even graduated high school. And Renee wants to question if Nick is ready for Hook? Sure, Hook is dangerous, but how dangerous is he when he has to sneak attack Nick when he’s not paying attention? And it’s reasons like that that Nick begged his “father,” Christian Cage, to get this match made in Hook’s hometown, in a venue that Hook’s dad made famous!
Nick also did it to prove to not just Christian but the entire world what the REAL future of pro-wrestling looks like. So Hook, see you at home. Or will he? Nick questions the courage of the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, but will The Patriarchy regret giving Hook three weeks to prepare?

Winner: Hechicero, by pinfall
An instant classic from two lucha icons, but it was the Alchemist who wins out! Will Komander be able to recover so that he can make an impact in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage, especially with the theme of lucha libre and the crossover with CMLL stars. Though that said, of course the CMLL stars were winning. Great stuff in the Six Man Tag, and an awesome main event from Hechicero VS Komander. Mortos VS Serpentico was surprisingly good, though I guess that’s because Serpentico got to show his stuff. Thanks to the prerecorded nature of Collision and Rampage, Mortos gets to lose a match in Chicago, Illinois but win one in Reading, Pennsylvania. And of course Rosa beat Harley again, but I really appreciate commentary playing along like Harley-gram wasn’t at all obviously Harley Cameron. Rosa’s win here definitely keeps her primed for a shot at the world championship after Winter is Coming.
Good promo from just six of the Dynamite Diamond Dozen, and as I said for Collision, I’m thinking this comes down to Kyle and Cole. They’ll fight, and as much as I want Cole to win, it’s probably Kyle, and then we get Kyle VS MJF for the diamond ring, Cole VS MJF at Worlds End. A surprise move tonight was someone taking out Kamille backstage. With this and Anna Jay’s promo on Collision, it definitely has to be The Vendetta doing Mone’s dirty work while expecting payment for their “protection.” Anna and Kamille will fight Deonna and Taya, and then maybe someone out of that field faces Mone for the TBS Championship at Worlds End.
My Score: 8.7/10

Mariah May speaks.
On the same film set that she attacked Mina Shirakawa, with the glass shards of a champagne bottle still at her feet, The Glamour wants the cameraman to come closer. She’s ready for her interview now. “I’m a complicated woman. I do a lot of things that people don’t understand and that’s okay. So when people ask me why I broke up with Mina, I could give the simple answer of jealousy, or watching her prance around Japan with the ghost of my past, but… That’s not true. I never broke up with Mina Shirakawa. In fact, we’re closer than ever. Every time she came here, it was, ‘I love America! I love AEW! I want to be champion!’
“So who could I not give her a chance at everything she’s ever wanted? You want to be on top? Well this is what it takes to be on top. You beat me, you can have it all. AEW, you want Mina? Here she is. Now let’s see how long she lasts. You can cry. You can scream. You can bleed. But you can never say I didn’t love you.” Mariah May is twisted, but will this bad romance soon come to an end now that Winter is Coming?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer, and notes that while she lost to Mariah May in that last chance title match, she did bounce back at Full Gear against Deonna Purrazzo. Anna says her career has been full of ups and downs, but she’s never backed down from swinging for the fences. She put it all on the line against Mariah, and lost. So what does that mean? It means she has nothing left to lose! Deonna found out an Anna with nothing to lose is one fat ass that can’t be kicked. So no, she can’t challenge for the AEW Women’s World Championship right now, but there are other titles that she can.
And Anna doesn’t mind on taking that one big swing. Just try her. Or maybe, she’ll try someone! Anna heads out, will she make herself The Star of the Show one way or another?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kyle Fletcher VS The Beast Mortos!
The Protostar won perhaps his biggest match last week on Full Gear, but now he’s going for a big prize in the Continental Championship. But in his way is a BIG beast, as The Beast Mortos wants to prove his worth to La Faccion Ingobernable. Will the menacing minotaur make big strikes towards a championship? Or will he be struck down by Don Callis’ Aussie Arrow?
Speaking of Don Callis, he finds a loophole in the No Cornermen rule by simply being on commentary. Kyle and Mortos circle at the bell, tie up, and are in a deadlock.

Mortos flounders and a ring count starts. Kyle goes out the side, runs in around the way, and he BOOTS Mortos down! Kyle flexes while he soaks up heat and the ref reprimands. Kyle goes back to Mortos, drags him up, and the fans tell Kyle off while he puts Mortos in the ring. Kyle pretends he can’t hear them, and then he storms over to stomp away on Mortos! The ref counts, especially as Kyle stands on Mortos’ face! Kyle says “SUCK IT!” Kyle runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! And then a BIG back suplex! Cocky cover, TWO!

The Aussie Arrow strikes, and not only does he keep pace with Shelton Benjamin in Blue League, but he keeps pace with Will Ospreay. Ospreay and Kyle both won tonight, could they end up meeting at Worlds End?
Backstage interview with Kyle O’Reilly.
Lexy Nair wants to talk with the Violent Artist, but he’s being pestered by The Undisputed Kingdom’s Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. Taven apologizes to Lexy, but now’s not the time. Lexy excuses herself and Bennett says he doesn’t get why Kyle won’t listen to them when Kyle knows what this is about. How long have they known each other? 14, 15 years? Bennett has known Adam Cole, Roderick Strong and Matt Taven just as long, so Kyle knows this is bigger than wrestling. This is about loyalty, friendship, and standing up for one of their own.
When Kyle chose not to join The Undisputed Kingdom a year ago, Taven wasn’t sure why. He thought it was finally going to be what they all wanted, all five of them together as one. Taven even called Kyle after Cole called them because Taven wanted to know why. Kyle wasn’t ready physically and mentally, and they respected it. Then Kyle and Roddy had it out, Taven & Bennett stayed out of it because they respected Kyle’s wishes. But now Kyle needs to understand and respect The Kingdom’s wishes! They need to exorcise some demons, exorcise those devils in them. So they aren’t asking much, just that Kyle let them finish this chapter in their careers.
Kyle wants The Kingdom to understand, he respects it plenty. Kyle leaves but The Kingdom doesn’t understand what Kyle means by that. Is he going to let Adam Cole win the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal to go after MJF?
Backstage interview with the Don Callis Family.
Callis is with his Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, and he explains that Callis is here to do something that he likes better than anything else, and that is talking about Takeshita! Talking about the Alpha! Callis had a front row seat to Konosuke DESTROYING Ricochet at Full Gear, and that made him very happy. And what also makes him happy is thinking of the coming year for The Alpha! They’re rolling into Tokyo Dome and Konosuke’s gonna blow the roof off of it! Then they’ll come back to AEW, and make 2025 the Year of the Don Callis Family, and the Year of the Alpha! Tell ’em, Champ!
Konosuke says in Japanese first that he is going to the Tokyo Dome to conquer it in the name of the Don Callis Family, and then in English, he says he will dominate this ring, this title, and dares anyone to come and take it! Callis repeats, “Come and take it, if you can!” Will The Alpha be ready for whoever it is that wants his gold in the New Year?
The Outrunners VS The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson!
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd could not take the tag titles at Full Gear, but these throwbacks still have “the stuff!” Will nothing stop the Youngest Men Alive from going for the gold?
Wait, Jacked Jameson has the mic to tell the fat morons and skinny idiots to shut up! There seems to be some confusion about the new Iron Savages’ shirt! They aren’t the meat riders, everyone else is! And that includes “these two spinning idiots!” The Savages will beat them down, put them in their place, and take their spots! Because they are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T Meat Riders to #TIDDYCITY! The Outrunners aren’t intimidated and the teams sort out. Truth starts against Beefcake Boulder, and the fans rally up at the bell. Boulder flexes on Truth, but Truth flexes back!
The fans cheer Truth, but Boulder TOSSES him to the corner! Boulder throws ELBOW after ELBOW, then he tags Bronson. Bronson fires body shots and haymakers, then flexes to mock Truth. Bronson ROCKS Truth, tags Boulder, and the Savages mock the spin. Boulder sends Bronson in to SPLASH, then Bronson sends Truth into Boulder’s scoop. SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up for Truth but Boulder goes to a corner. The Savages gyrate, and Boulder goes up, but he slips and falls! Truth may have gotten a bit lucky there, but Boulder hurries to tag Bronson. Bronson runs in but Truth dodges!
Bronson hits buckles. Truth hurdles, hot tag to Turbo! Turbo rallies with haymakers on both Savages! Turbo winds up and he ROCKS Boulder! Turbo scoops to SLAM Bronson! And then he scoops and SLAMS Bronson again! Truth becomes the human weapon, SLAM SENTON onto Bronson! Wait, Turbo scoops Boulder!? Boulder’s too much for one man! Boulder grabs both Outrunners, but the Outrunners fight up! The fans cheer as The Outrunners kick, and DOUBLE SCOOP SLAM! The fans fire up and Truth says, “Turbo Floyd! YOU SONOVABISH!” DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Bronson staggers up into a scoop! TOTAL RECALL!! Cover, Outrunners win!
Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall
Chicago cheers as the retro filter takes us back to the 1980s while The Outrunners get back on a winning track! But wait! FTR is here! Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler join Truth & Turbo in the ring, and they all HANDSHAKE! The fans cheer as the #TopGuys are happy for their friends, but will either of these teams be headed for the tag titles before Worlds End?
Backstage interview with Max Caster.
Lexy Nair is with Platinum Max and brings up the rather erratic behavior as of late. Yeah, well, Swerve Strickland is crazy! He attacks Caster outta nowhere! He ripped The Best Wrestler Alive jacket! Caster could sue Swerve but that’s not real rap. So Swerve, look in Caster’s eyes. Swerve doesn’t deserve what he’s gotten here in AEW! But here Caster is, giving that “gold toothed b*tch” a chance to take on The Best Wrestler Alive. Caster wants Swerve this Wednesday Night Dynamite! Okay, but then where is the rest of The Acclaimed? Oh, he hasn’t talked to them since Full Gear. Anthony Bowens was so pissed after he lost that match for them.
Caster told the guys that they could take the week off, it was Thanksgiving after all, and as the leader, Caster knows his guys have his back against Swerve. Swerve, if you’re a real champion, a real rapper, then you’ll accept the challenge and take this ass whooping like a man! And that is a mic drop! Caster heads out, but is he the crazy one thinking he should face The Realest in a match?
Hangman Page VS Wheeler Yuta!
Speaking of crazy, the Blackhat Cowboy was so out of his mind after his loss to Jay White, he decked Christopher Daniels! Not only that, but he more or less handed Christian Cage a cash-in opportunity at the end of Full Gear. The Death Riders do not appreciate this, and so now The Decoder is stepping up. Will Yuta make sure Hangman understands what he’s getting himself into? Or is Hangman going to make Yuta an example to Jon Moxley?
The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, Yuta goes for a leg but Hangman HAMMERS away on him for it! Yuta goes to ropes and Hangman backs off. The fans rally as the two reset, and they tie up. Yuta grabs that leg, trips Hangman, but Hangman kicks free. Yuta headlocks, Hangman powers up and out, but Yuta dodges. Yuta leaps but Hangman catches him for a SLAM! Hangman stands Yuta up, bumps him off buckles again and again, and again and again, but stops at the ref’s count of 4. Hangman wants to pull the buckle pad off but the ref says don’t. They argue, but Yuta kicks low!
Yuta whips, Hangman reverses but Yuta grabs ropes. Hangman LARIATS Yuta up and out! The fans fire up and Hangman goes out after Yuta. The fans rally behind Hangman as he fireman’s carries Yuta, SNAKE EYES Off the apron! Yuta staggers around, Hangman storms over, and he CLUBS away on Yuta. Hangman drags Yuta up and SMACKS him off the apron. Yuta staggers, Hangman follows, but Yuta kicks the leg! Yuta pushes Hangman at the ring, but Hangman rebounds to CLOBBER Yuta! Hangman drags Yuta up, puts him in the ring, but Yuta swings! Hangman catches Yuta to a clinch, and BELLY2BELLY! Cover, TWO!
Hangman snarls but he stalks Yuta to a corner. The fans rally up and Hangman stands Yuta up. Hangman CHOPS Yuta down, then tells the ref to back off. Hangman storms over to Yuta at the apron, and he triangle jumps, but Yuta ducks the lariat! CHOP BLOCK! The fans boo but Yuta stomps away on Hangman’s leg. Yuta wraps the leg around ropes and stands on it! The ref counts, Yuta steps off, and then Yuta drags Hangman by his leg. Yuta steps through for a spinning toehold! Then another spinning toehold! Then another! Yuta flexes, the fans boo, but Hangman KICKS at Yuta! The fans rally, but Yuta blocks the kick!
Yuta steps through and has the standing toehold! Hangman kicks at Yuta, gets free, but Yuta is after him in a corner. Yuta CHOPS, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Yuta CHOPS Hangman again, but Hangman scowls. Yuta CHOPS, but Hangman eggs him on! The CHOPS keep going but then Yuta kicks a leg! Yuta trips Hangman, and he fights to turn Hangman over. HALF CRAB! Hangman endures while fans give thumbs down. Hangman crawls his way over, ROPEBREAK! Yuta holds on until the ref counts 4, and mocks Bryan Danielson by saying he has ’til 5. Yuta then storms up on Hangman to ROCK him, BITE him, and then climb up. The fans boo as Yuta mocks the Yes Movement. Yuta rains down fists, but Hangman stops him at 5 to then carry him out! Atomic drop!
Yuta flounders, Hangman storms up, but Yuta has the leg! DRAGON SCREW! Hangman flounders to the apron, but Yuta runs to basement DROPKICK the legs! Yuta cheers himself on and drags Hangman to center. Yuta twists the foot but Hangman kicks at him again and again. Yuta staggers back, Hangman swings, but Yuta dodges! Yuta dodges, catches a haymaker, and wrenches to a RIGHT ANGLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Hangman goes to a corner, Yuta runs up, but Hangman puts him on the apron! Yuta ROCKS Hangman, climbs up, but Hangman ROCKS Yuta! Hangman climbs up, and he brings Yuta to the top!
Collision returns to single picture as both men are up top! Hangman goes to scoop but Yuta fights! Yuta BITES Hangman’s ear! Yuta hops down, TRIPS Hangman, and Hangman tumbles to the mat! Yuta hurries to flip him into the Tree of Woe! Yuta climbs up to CLUB away on the bad leg! The fans boo and the ref counts, but Yuta stops at 4 to soak up heat. Only for Hangman to SPIDER-GERMAN!! Hangman glares even while upside-down, and he slips free of the Tree. Hangman storms up on Yuta to fire a haymaker! Yuta fires back! They go shot for shot, Hangman gets the edge, then ROLLING ELBOW!
Yuta wobbles, roars, and he trips Hangman! Hangman kicks Yuta away, but Y uta rewinds, into a BOOT! The fans fire up as Hangman goes out to get Yuta up and whip him into railing! The fans fire up for Hangman as he whips Yuta hard into more railing! Yuta writhes and Hangman points to the other side. The fans cheer and Hangman whips again. Yuta reverses, but Hangman reverses back! Yuta hits railing hard! The front row fans love as the railing gets pushed back! Hangman puts Yuta in and fans rally for “Cowboy Sh*t!” Hangman storms up, but Yuta KICKS the bad leg! Yuta runs up, but into a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!
Hangman snarls but wait, here come Pac & Claudio Castagnoli. They walk down the steps in the crowd, but Hangman dares them to bring it on! Yuta rolls Hangman up! TWO!! Hangman escapes, and he POP-UP- NO! Yuta fights the bomb! Hangman blocks a lariat, BOOTS Yuta, but Yuta rewinds! Yuta waistlocks, Hangman throws him off, DISCUS LARIAT! Hangman glares at The Bastard & The Swiss Superman as he goes to the apron, but now Marina Shafir & Jon Moxley have joined them! Hangman slingshots, but his leg buckles! Yuta rolls him, shifts around, SEATBELT! Cover, TWO!!
Hangman scoops Yuta, DEADEYE!! Cover, Hangman wins!!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
The Death Riders tried to intimidate Hangman into defeat, but that’s not a thing when it comes to Hangman. Moxley simply talks things over with Claudio, perhaps they’re more impressed than anything. Wait, Hangman HAMMERS away on Yuta! Moxley and crew do not even take a step forward!? So Hangman ups the ante by grabbing a chair! Hangman puts that chair around Yuta’s neck! Hangman is going to use something out of the Death Rider playbook, and yet they do not flinch. But here comes Jay White?! The Switchblade has his own beef with the Death Riders, but also with Hangman!
White has a chair, Hangman takes his chair away to run off, so Yuta is saved. But then White clinches Yuta, BLADERUNNER!! Moxley again smirks, perhaps just as impressed with White as he was Hangman. The Death Riders leave Yuta behind, will Yuta understand he is just a pawn? White tells the pawn to tell his king that KING SWITCH is coming for him! Will Jay White soon make The Maniac breathe with the Switchblade?
Thunder Rosa speaks.
La Mera Mera introduces herself and says tonight on Rampage, you will see the best wrestlers of CMLL! Hechicero, Mascara Dorada, Mistico, and many, many more! And, oh, also this girl who thinks she’s part computer. But never mind that. What made Rosa sad is that she keeps seeing people stabbing each other in the back when you think they’re all your friend. Like Mina Shirakawa and Mariah May. And why do they do that? Because they want to “be on top.” They’re hungry for the title. And y’know what? That makes Rosa hungry, too. So after Rosa is done with “Harley-gram,” Rosa will keep a close eye on Mina and Mariah.
Because remember: Rosa was a champion, too! And she beat Mariah May! Winter is Coming, but La Mera Mera NEVER left. Will the Thunder rumble up to whoever survives the cold?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Lexy catches the Cowboy as he makes his way to the locker room, and she brings up that while he got a win on Yuta, his bigger issues seem to be with The Death Riders and Jay White. Hangman gets mad now, and says he doesn’t know who told her there would be an interview, but there’s not. Hangman storms off but Christopher Daniels finds him. The Fallen Angel says he’s been looking for Hangman. Daniels was going to fine Hangman for that shot at Full Gear, but he wants to talk not as an EVP but as a wrestler, as someone who has known Hangman for 15 years. Someone that cares about Hangman!
This thirst for vengeance is not fueling Hangman, it is poisoning him! It is taking him away from his true goals. And this stuff in the past, if Hangman could just let it go, he’d not only be the leader AEW needs, but the man that Hangman should be. Hangman says Daniels does NOT tell Hangman who can be or who he is, because he knows damn well who he is! If what happened to Hangman happened to Daniels, Daniels would feel exactly the same! Any man would! And the last thing Hangman needs right now is advice from an old man like Daniels. Hangman storms off, his anger only growing worse. But will nothing but that AEW World Championship bring him peace?
Mina Shirakawa VS Leila Grey!
We heard both sides of the tragic romance, and the title match is made for December 11th. Will the Fighting Gravure Idol be red hot for Winter is Coming? Or will the Top Flight Attendant look to earn her own trip to the title scene?
The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Leila waistlocks. Mina wrenches out, wristlocks, but Leila rolls and wrenches back. Leila headlocks, Mina powers up and brings Leila down. Mina headlocks, then spins around to SOBAT! Mina runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then slides to pose! The fans cheer but Leila is annoyed. Leila KICKS Mina in the back, then runs, but Mina trips her up! Mina KICKS Leila in the back, and the fans cheer! Leila storms up on Mina and throws a forearm! Mina fires back, and now the forearms fly! Mina has the edge, then winds up to ROCK Leila! Leila staggers, Mina whips.
Leila reverses and runs up but Mina dodges in the corner. Mina ROCKS Leila, goes in and up, FLYING CHUCK! Then NECKBREAKER DROP! Cover, ONE!! Leila shows some grit but Mina is still having fun. The fans rally up and Mina runs corner to corner. Leila dodges and Mina hits buckles! Leila SHINING WIZARDS, then brings Mina out for a snap suplex! Roll back and underhook, but Mina fights the butterfly! Mina wrenches out, Leila ducks the kick! Leila shoves, Mina dodges a kick to URAKEN! Cover, TWO! Leila toughs it out again and Mina is frustrated, but the fans rally up again. Mina storms up on Leila and dragon sleepers!
Mina drags Leile up, but Leila fights free of the inverted suplex! Roll-up, TWO! Mina runs, Leila trips, jackknife bridge! TWO, and Mina ROLLING ELBOWS! Leila falls, Mina goes up a corner, but Leila rises at the ropes. Mina leaps to FLYING SLINGBLADE! The fans fire up and Mina has Leila in the dragon sleeper! GLORIOUS DRIVER MINA! Cover, Mina wins!
Winner: Mina Shirakawa, by pinfall
Winter is Coming for AEW, and Mina is coming for Mariah’s head! Will the Glamour’s gold soon belong to the Fighting Gravure Idol?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!
Collision returns to its usual time as AEW arrives in Columbus, Ohio, and the WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup Qualifiers continue! Willow Nightingale and Serena Deeb will battle it out, who moves on to face Jamie Hayter at Collision’s own Winter is Coming?
Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Lexy Nair is with the Babe with the Power, and we saw her help Orange Cassidy against The Death Riders. What is her sights set on now? Well, it is always great to help a friend in need. But now she is going to pivot her focus and saw all that about WrestleDynasty, International Women’s Cup, Tokyo Dome! It just feels right to represent AEW there. And most recently, she was CMLL Women’s Champion. She was the first woman to defend the TBS Championship overseas in Stardom. And of course, she was the inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Champion. So you can already call her the Global Ambassador of AEW, or even an international superstar!
But you cannot call her an International Women’s Cup winner unless she wins these qualifiers. So that might feel right in her heart but it also felt right that Cassidy should be AEW World Champion, and that Ishii should be ROH World Champion. Those things didn’t happen. So after a month away, Willow has to make the dream happen. She’ll put her head down, get back to work, put on this lovely smile, and make the dream happen! Will Willow power her way through The Professor and the Hayter until she’s the one going to the Tokyo Dome?
New York, make your holidays All Elite!
Christmas may be 25 days away, but AEW is going to celebrate a few days early.

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Wednesday, December 4th, Jay White will have his own fight against The Death Riders when he takes on Pac! Will The Bastard be one to Breathe with The Switchblade? And the Continental Classic of course continues with perhaps the hardest hitting match-up yet: Brody King VS Claudio Castagnoli! Will the King of Death bring the Swiss Superman back down to Earth?
BREAKING NEWS for Winter is Coming!
Well, win, lose or draw, Claudio and Brody King are going to keep up the heat as Claudio will take on Will Ospreay and Brody will take on Ricochet! The Continental Classic is only heating up, but who will blaze their trail to Worlds End?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kazuchika Okada VS Daniel Garcia!
Being the second C2, this is a very special match. Not only is it the first time THE Continental Champion competes in the round robin that determines if he stays champion, but he’s facing a fellow champion! Red Death is the NEW TNT Champion after defeating Jack Perry, will he get another big win here tonight? Or will Okada prove he is still The Rainmaker that won G1 after G1?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They knuckle lock, then Okada shoots in for a waistlock. Garcia wrenches and hammerlocks, but Okada slips around to hammerlock back. Garcia headlocks but Okada cranks the arm. Garcia still headlocks, then slips his hand free to have the hold on tight. Okada rolls but Garcia holds on. The fans rally up as Okada stands, and Okada fires body shots. Okada powers up and out, but Garcia RAMS him! Neither man falls and the fans are dueling as Okada brushes himself off. Garcia runs, RAMS Okada again, but Okada still doesn’t fall. Garcia fires a flurry of forearms!
Okada fires up and he UPPERCUTS, but into a backslide! TWO, and Okada storms up. Garcia drop toeholds, Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Trip and ghost pin, TWO!! Okada escapes and backs away while the fans fire up. Okada applauds, he also admits Garcia is good. Okada uses ropes as a defense and the ref has Garcia back off. The two reset and circle, but Okada offers a handshake. Garcia is wary, as are the fans, but then Okada leaves Garcia hanging. Garcia CHOPS and fires hands on Okada for it! Garcia whips, Okada grabs ropes, but Garcia blocks the boot! Garcia throws Okada down and basement dropkicks!
The fans fire up and Garcia nods. Okada crawls to the ropes but Garcia stalks over, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Garcia snapmares Okada, runs, and SLIDING FOREARMS! Cover, TWO! Okada stays in this but Garcia stays on him. Garcia stomps away on a leg, then GROUND DRAGON SCREWS! Okada writhes, but Garcia stalks Okada. Garcia whips, but Okada blocks! Garcia still tries but Okada again blocks. Garcia ROCKS Okada, runs, but Okada FLAPJACKS! The fans fire up while both men are down. Okada stalks Garcia now, and he drags Garcia up. Okada turns Garcia for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Garcia is tougher than that but Okada stays cool. Okada CLUBS Garcia, and Garcia goes to a corner.
Okada is after Garcia, whips him corner to corner, then runs up to ELBOW! Garcia staggers and falls, but Okada is cool as ice. Okada paces, scuffs Garcia, and he taunts Garcia a bit. Okada kicks Garcia, but Garcia rises to fire forearms! Okada just leans into the shots! Then he UPPERCUTS Garcia back down! Collision returns to single picture while the fans rally up. Okada drags Garcia to his feet, scoops and SLAMS, then SENTON FLOPS! Okada tried changing the formula and pays for it! The fans rally again as Garcia drags himself up, only for Okada to CLUB him down! Okada then scoops Garcia to SLAM him again!
Garcia goes out to the apron, and slingshot SENTON, but he has to roll through as Garcia moves! Garcia blocks punches to give punches again and again, then whips. Okada reverses then dodges a lariat! Okada catches Garcia into the MONEY CLIP! Garcia endures but he’s as red as his new boots! The fans rally as Okada squeezes tight, a big grin on his face! Garcia feeds on the energy from Chicago and he fires body shots! Garcia JAWBREAKERS free, but Okada scoops! Garcia slips free to kick and TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! The fans fire up and Garcia shakes the ropes! Garcia runs corner to corner to LARIAT Okada!
Garcia keeps going, he LARIATS again! Garcia keeps moving but Okada follows! But Garcia dodges Okada to put him in the other corner, and he stomps a mudhole into the Rainmaker! The fans fire up but the ref counts, and Garcia stands on Okada’s face until 4! Garcia runs side to side and he BOOT WASHES Okada! Garcia drags Okada up but Okada wrenches out. Garcia ducks the lariat to have a SLEEPER! Garcia squeezes tight, sits Okada down, and runs to PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Okada survives the shoutout to Shibata but Garcia grits his teeth. Garcia drags Okada by his legs, steps through, and has the DRAGON TAMER!!
Okada endures, flails, and has the ROPEBREAK quick! Garcia lets go and Okada bails out. The fans rally as Garcia goes out and CLUBS Okada! Garcia makes Okada take a seat in the corner, and then he climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Garcia goes to nine, puts up the fists, and then hits TEN! The fans cheer and Garcia goes to the far side. Garcia runs back in, flipping those middle fingers before he SHOTGUNS Okada down! The ref checks Okada as he clutches an arm. Garcia wants after Okada but the ref has him hold on. Okada says to get the medic so the ref hurries away. But Okada grabs a chair! Okada JAMS Garcia up!!
The fans boo as Okada says he’s okay now. The ref isn’t sure what that’s about, but Okada hits a DDT to the floor! Okada grins, laughs, even blows a kiss to the camera, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Okada shrugs as he soaks up heat from the fans. Okada takes his time walking back to the ring while the count climbs. Okada decides to roll in at 4, but then he rolls out to refresh the count. Okada drags Garcia up and SMACKS him off the steel steps! Okada stands Garcia up to RAM him into railing! And now Okada leaves Garcia behind for the count. The fans cheer Garcia on and Garcia rises up! Garcia has new life and he slides in, only for Okada to DDT him again! Cover, TWO!! Garcia survives and Okada is furious! Garcia scuffs Okada, and again, and that frustrates Okada. Garcia reaches out and he nods to the fans.
Okada looms over Garcia as Garcia again feeds off Chicago’s energy. Garcia stands to fire a forearm! Okada shakes that off and eggs Garcia on, but Collision has to go to break.
Collision returns as now Garcia has Okada up top! They brawl with forearms and the fans rally behind Garcia. Garcia fires a flurry of HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up and Garcia brings Okada to the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX! The fans fire up while both men writhe! Garcia crawls to a cover, TWO!! Okada stays in this if only barely, but Garcia shakes his head. Garcia rises and he has the legs. Okada scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Garcia lets go in frustration, and Okada bails out. Garcia rushes outside to kick Okada and put him back in the ring. Garcia runs corner to corner, but Okada pops him up! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Garcia stays in this, and Okada is almost amused by it. Okada drags Garcia up, scoops and SLAMS him down! Okada climbs, for the MACHO ELBOW! Okada rises and the fans are torn. Okada mocks Garcia’s dance! Okada flips Garcia off, but Garcia grabs a leg! ANKLE LOCK!! The fans fire up as Okada is caught for getting cocky! Okada endures, reaches out, crawls forward, but Garcia TWISTS the foot! Okada flails, reaches, and has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Garcia lets go and runs to DROPKICK Okada! The fans fire up with Garcia as he runs again, but into Okada’s DROP- NO! Garcia catches the legs!

Okada sits up, Garcia stirs, but Okada drags him up. Okada brings Garcia around to short arm LARIAT! The fans rally but Okada stands Garcia up again. Garcia ducks the lariat but not the DROPKICK! Okada scoops Garcia to MICHINOKU DRIVER! And then the ripcord! RAIN- NO, Garcia body scissors Okada!
Garcia has Okada’s legs, steps through, DRAGON TAMER!!! And we have one minute left?! Okada endures, fights around, reaches out, but Garcia drags him back! Garcia sits deep!! Okada endures even more pain, but he flails and claws at the mat! Okada crawls but Garcia sits DEEP! Okada bites his hand to ignore the pain! Time is running out! TIME IS UP!!! It’s a DRAW!!
Time Limit Draw; both men earn 1 point
Chicago cannot believe it! Garcia could not beat Okada in under 20 minutes, but he surely had Okada beat all the same! But Chicago shows respect by applauding both men as they both stand up. Okada offers a handshake, does he mean it this time? Garcia accepts, but then Okada flips him off! Well, of course that’s how it goes. But if this is how hard they had to fight and only got a draw, how much harder must both Okada and Garcia fight to take the Blue League?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, even for being prerecorded. And for some reason, more matches here than Dynamite, but Mina Shirakawa was of course beating Leila Grey and The Outrunners were of course beating The Iron Savages. Good promo from Mariah May to put her spin on the build to her match with Mina, and even a nod to Mina hanging out with Toni Storm. I would think Mariah wins at Winter is Coming so that Worlds End can perhaps be Mariah VS a returning Toni Storm, who might not even be Timeless but back to rockstar Toni. FTR showing up to hang out with Outrunners was find, but kind of filler if there wasn’t something more than the handshake.
Very good promo from Caster to not only put his own spin on everything that’s happened while also putting himself over as the apparent leader of The Acclaimed. You can bet Bowens & Billy will have something to say on Dynamite right before Caster has his match with Swerve, and all this just adds to Caster ditching Bowens for The Hurt Syndicate. Good promo from Anna Jay, but I feel like that while she clearly wants Mercedes Mone and the TBS Champion, The Vendetta is going to get in the way, maybe striking a business deal with The CEO for protection. After all, Kamille quit so Mone’s gonna need new bodyguards.
Good promo from Rosa to hype up both tonight’s Lucha Libre Rampage, which includes her match with Harley Cameron, while also throwing her name into the hat for the world title match. Maybe we get both Storm and Rosa going for the title at Worlds End, or maybe it’s Rosa while Storm waits it out until 2025. To be fair, Storm could wait because then she can challenge for the title at Grand Slam: Australia. And good promo from Willow to hype up her part in the International Women’s Cup. Willow VS Deeb feels like a toss up, but I’m leaning towards Willow. She should make it to WrestleDynasty for the reasons she gave, especially when you consider Julia Hart is calling out Jamie Hayter with her spooky vignettes.
Good promo from The Kingdom and Kyle O’Reilly, but I’m pretty sure Kyle is not throwing the match for Cole’s sake. Kyle and Cole will probably be the last two in the battle royal, and if Cole is going to win, he’ll have to be vicious to do it because Kyle is so tough. I still feel Cole and MJF should fight for the diamond ring so that the ring becomes the new physical object of their grudge, but they might use Kyle VS MJF to further delay Cole VS MJF so it can happen for Worlds End. I believe that would put their match on the anniversary of when Cole started the “Who is the new Devil of AEW?” story with Face MJF, so it would be a fitting stage for this new chapter.
Very good promo from Callis and Konosuke to hype up the Tokyo Dome shows, which as it stands, we’ll get Konosuke VS Takagi in a Champion VS Champion showdown, no idea if it’ll be for a title, both titles, or just pride between AEW and NJPW. And of course, great stuff in the Continental Classic matches. Ospreay VS Juice was a great opener, and Juice looked good, but of course Ospreay won here to get his first three points. The same goes for Fletcher VS Mortos, as Mortos looked great even though he lost. Then we got an awesome main event, and I love that Okada VS Garcia went to a draw. Neither champion could really lose without owing a title match after the tournament, and this really adds some drama to the standings.
My Score: 8.9/10
