PLAY BY PLAY
Alex Marvez waits in a parking lot.
He is in the hotel parking garage, hoping for a scoop from Will Ospreay after last week’s devastating loss to MJF in the International Championship match. However, Ospreay goes right past Marvez and Marvez hurries after. Marvez asks for a comment but Ospreay says he’ll tell everyone what he has to say, once he arrives at the arena. Except someone slashed his tire! Three guesses who. Ospreay asks if Marvez rented a car. He did. Then hand over the keys! What? O-Okay. Marvez hands over the keys, Ospreay has him carry the luggage, and they hurry to Marvez’s rental. They get in and Marvez asks if Ospreay’s driven in America. NOPE! Uh oh.
Ospreay peels out of the parking garage, hoping to make it to Bridgestone Arena before the show is over! Will he have plenty to say after what the Wolf of Wrestling (or rather, weasel) did last week?
Cheerleaders line the ramp…?
They ask Nashville to give them an M! “M!” Give them a J! “J!” Give them an F! “F!” What’s that spell? M J F! That’s right, the NEW International Champion makes his way out, all smiles as he wears the belt he stol- er, won last week on Dynamite. He of course has them cut his music so he can talk. And he stands in the ring on camera left, with a podium, and something under a black cloth. MJF says, “Ospreay did not hit the Tiger Driver 91 because he is a gutless coward. The fact that you mouth breathers actually thought he could beat me when he couldn’t even beat that shmuck, Swerve, is laughable.”
The fans boo but MJF says by the way, Shane, MJF hasn’t forgotten about his world championship. And MJF is telling you now… The fans tell MJF to STFU first. MJF continues by saying he is just waiting for his moment to pounce. If he were Swerve, he’d pray to God that that moment never comes. See, when the spotlight is on MJF, MJF shines bright like a diamond, baby. He kisses the Dynamite Diamond Ring, the very item that helped him win, and MJF says that when the spotlight is on our “wittle hewo,” Ospreay, Ospreay MELTS. MJF beat Will Ospreay without breaking a damn sweat. Easiest match of his life!
And MJF did it quickly, efficiently, and wrestling analysts are saying it is the most dominant victory of all time. Not his words, all theirs. The fans boo these blatant lies, but MJF says ordinarily, a lot of people would tell Ospreay to burn those brittle as hell indie kick pads and just retire, but that’s not good enough. If it were MJF, he’d take a long walk off a short pier. But lucky for Ospreay, his grandma died recently, right? The fans boo MJF bringing up Ospreay’s nan, but MJF says just dig a grave next to hers. Bro tip: dig it a football field away from the old lady. That fat skank needs all the room she can get!
The fans boo while MJF laughs at his own insult. He then tells the fans to shut up. If Ospreay doesn’t like the facts MJF has to say, then he should come on out here and face him like a man. Oh wait, Ospreay won’t, because he’s worthless. Or because his car got sabotaged and Ospreay’s on his way. MJF says speaking of worthless, let’s talk this International Championship. The fans love this belt because it was held by “workhorses” who would come out here week in and week out, trying to earn their affection by putting in the work. Barf! What a joke. Working hard is for poors like all of the fans. Fans tell MJF he’s an a-hole in return.
MJF says people like this belt because it was held by “international talent.” MJF would have to sit back and watch the fans pretend that anyone outside of our great nation matters to them, and honestly, they’re unpatriotic and treasonous. MJF nods and says he deserves a title worthy of his superior intellect, his superior bank account, and his superior upbringing. This title, much like Daniel Garcia, “Willy Boy” and all these White trash hicks in Nashville, is nothing more than garbage. And down that belt goes into a trash can! The fans boo but MJF goes to his podium. MJF deserves a title that symbolizes the best wrestler in the world, and the best country in the world.
Newsflash: he does not mean that “third world cesspool” of a country known as the United Kingdom. So ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the brand new AEW American Championship! The cloth is taken away to reveal the belt, and it admittedly looks good. Fans chant “U S A! U S A!” MJF says while he appreciates those chants, when he talks America, he isn’t talking “Nasty Ass Nashville.” No, MJF is talking about real America. The only America that matters: the most magical place in the world, Plainview, Long Island, New York!
The fans boo but MJF says God bless the USA, God bless this American Championship, but also God bless your American hero, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Thank him later. MJF holds up the belt and has red, white and blue streamers fly. There’s even an American flag with 50 MJFs on it! Wait! Ospreay rushes into the ring! MJF goes running, belt in hand and tail tucked between his legs! Ospreay grabs his mic and tells MJF, “You can try your best to feed everyone horse *hit, but we ain’t eatin’ it! I was in that match so allow me to tell everyone what was going through your damn mind at minute 59, when you were breathin’ out your ass, and you can’t stand it!
“And there is no way in your mind you knew that you could beat me. So you reached into your trunks, went past your tiny little d… And you pulled out that diamond ring and cracked it over my skull. You would’ve rather had cheated than admit that a guy like me is on your level.” MJF defends his innocence, but Ospreay tells him that Ospreay has the best news for him. This will put a smile on MJF’s face! Ospreay had a meeting with Tony Khan and Christopher Daniels. And guess what? Ospreay’s getting a rematch! MJF doesn’t understand, but Ospreay says he also has that rematch… on home soil!!
Ospreay tells MJF that Sunday, August 25th, it will be Ospreay VS MJF fort the International Championship at All In!! The fans fire up, MJF says he didn’t agree to that! But that doesn’t matter, he has to do it! Ospreay makes sure to get the International Championship belt out of the trash and clean it off. Who will stand tall at the end of this war in Wembley?
AEW goes backstage.
Referee Bryce Remsburg has the official Blood & Guts coin to determine which team gets advantage for the main event. But when Bryce walks into the room, he finds The Elite standing around Christopher Daniels on the floor! They claim they found him like this. Matthew Jackson also adds that The Elite has their own coin, “AEW” on one side and “Elite” on the other. Matt flips the coin, the ref confirms, Elite wins the advantage! Wait, where is Hangman? Isn’t he supposed to be here? Matt tells the guys relax. They made a deal with Hangman, he’ll honor that deal. Now let’s go get it, boys! Blood & Guts! By the way, Matt was using a two-sided coin.
The EVPs found a way to rig things in their favor, but will having the man-up advantage really help them #ManUp against Mark Briscoe, Darby Allin, The Acclaimed & Swerve Strickland?
FTW Championship: Chris Jericho VS Minoru Suzuki!
The Learning Tree has been champion for 95 days, but not without a little bit of help from his Branches. However, Tony Khan thought ahead, and has decided to prune those Branches by banning Big Bill & Bryan Keith from ringside! Jericho will have to face the Meanest Man in the World all by himself, will nothing save him from being chopped down? Or does The Wizard have one more trick up his sleeve?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who destroys the other “For The World?”
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. Suzuki eggs Jericho on, but Jericho waves hi to the fans. Jericho steps up, he and Suzuki talk some smack, and then Jericho CHOPS! Suzuki shrugs, then CHOPS in return! Jericho CHOPS, but Suzuki smirks. Suzuki CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, repeat! Suzuki eggs Jericho on more, so Jericho CHOPS! Suzuki CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, and Suzuki just laughs! Suzuki CHOPS, taunts Jericho, so Jericho CHOPS! Suzuki likes that, and the CHOPS keep going!
The fans fire up and cheer Suzuki with every CHOP! Suzuki eggs Jericho on some more, so Jericho waves “Hi~!” and CHOPS! Suzuki smiles and waves back, to CHOP!

Suzuki CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS Jericho into a corner! The CHOPS keep going, and the fans fire up! Jericho is stinging, and he steps into the other ring! Suzuki pursues, drags Jericho back, and he CHOPS! Jericho’s chest is already bloody, Suzuki pushes him into the first ring.
Jericho CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Suzuki just laughs it off and the fans boo Jericho. Jericho gets mad, but Suzuki puts his hands back. Jericho CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS, but that just hurts his hand! Suzuki brings Jericho around to CHOP again! And again! Those are high, too! Suzuki CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, repeat! The fans “WOO~!” as the CHOPS just keep going! Jericho’s CHOPS are slowing down, fans chant “CHOP FOREVER!” Suzuki CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho backs away, and Suzuki cheers with the fans!

Jericho CHOPS, Suzuki grins, repeat. Suzuki CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, repeat! Suzuki CHOPS Jericho into the corner again, then CHOPS so hard, Jericho falls over! The fans fire up and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Jericho stands up and Suzuki eggs him on. Jericho says Suzuki has to be insane, and he CHOPS! Suzuki CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, repeat! They CHOP and CHOP and CHOP, and Jericho gets frustrated. The CHOPS just keep going! Jericho flips Suzuki off then CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Suzuki CHOPS again and Jericho staggers away to a corner. Suzuki grins, Jericho CHOPS! Suzuki CHOSP, eggs Jericho on, so Jericho CHOPS! Suzuki CHOPS and Jericho staggers. Jericho comes back, the CHOPS keep going, and Suzuki again backs Jericho to a corner. The fans fire up as the CHOPS just keep going!
Jericho sits down in the corner, the ref checks him, and Suzuki fires the fans up again. Jericho’s chest is only redder, but so is Suzuki’s. Jericho stands, CHOPS, but Suzuki CHOSP! The CHOP fest is far from over as they just keep going! Jericho gets the edge, but Suzuki is unfazed! He CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho goes to ropes, but he comes back to CHOP, CHOP and CHOP! Suzuki revels in it, but Jericho is tiring out! That’s when Suzuki CHOPS again! Suzuki CHOPS Jericho, Dynamite returns to single picture, and you better believe the CHOPS keep going! Jericho kicks low and fires a forearm!
The fans boo Jericho ruining the fun, but he soaks up the heat. Jericho runs, to LARIAT! Suzuki falls and Jericho celebrates like he’s already won! Jericho then triangle jumps but Suzuki steps back, and CHOPS! Jericho swings, into a HANGING ARMBAR! The fans fire up as there’s no ropebreaks here! Jericho flails, endures, but Suzuki lets go to then drag Jericho out of the ring. Suzuki SMACKS Jericho off the desk! The fans fire up as Suzuki grabs a chair and brings it over! Suzuki JAMS Jericho up, SMACKS him on the back, and Jericho hobbles away. Suzuki grabs a second chair, KICKS Jericho down, then puts Jericho’s hand through the chair!
Suzuki grabs the first chair, he’s going to do Jericho like Jericho did Shibata! CON-CHAIR-TOÂ on the arm! Jericho clutches his hand and Suzuki grins. The fans are thunderous, they want that “ONE MORE TIME!” Suzuki does one better and he bends the fingers! Suzuki brings Jericho over to the railing so fans can get a better look! Suzuki lets off, Taz sure loves this, and Suzuki eggs Jericho on. Jericho CHOPS, but that’s the bad hand! So Jericho CHOPS with the left! Suzuki ROCKS Jericho with a forearm! Suzuki puts Jericho in the ring, then grabs the bad hand to twist and wrangle Jericho into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
Suzuki bends the fingers again, Jericho suffers while he reaches out futilely for ropes! Jericho rolls, but Suzuki bends the fingers even more! Jericho CLAWS Suzuki’s face! The fans boo but Jericho hits a CODE BREAKER! Cover, ONE?!? Suzuki roars as he rises up and Jericho is shocked! Nashville is thunderous as Suzuki glares at Jericho. Jericho scowls back, and the forearms start flying! They go back and forth, Nashville still behind Suzuki. The two stand, Suzuki ROCKS Jericho, but Jericho hits back! And again! And again! Suzuki ROCKS Jericho and Jericho leans against ropes. Suzuki whips Jericho, follows him, shoots around, for the SLEEPER!
Jericho flails, but Suzuki spins him! But Jericho trips Suzuki! WALLS OF JERICHO! The fans boo as now Suzuki endures! Suzuki powers his way around and throws hands from below! Suzuki then BOOTS Jericho away, shoots around again, SLEEPER! Jericho flails, Suzuki spins him and reel shim in! Gotch hold, PILE- NO, Jericho fights free, and LOW BLOWS! The fans boo but it isn’t cheating this time! JUDAS EFFECT!! Cover, Jericho wins!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still FTW Champion)
It may not have been as extreme as other FTW Championship matches, but it was gritty, brutal and even downright nasty! But while Jericho holds up the belt, Suzuki rises to his feet! The Murder Grandpa snatches Jericho into a SLEEPER! And then the Gotch hold and PILEDRIVER!! The fans fire up as Suzuki stands tall, but here come Keith & Bill! No more ringside ban, and they beat Suzuki down! The fans boo as Bill & Keith CHOKE Suzuki! But wait! Here comes Shibata!! The Wrestler is 100%, and he also slides in from the crowd side! Shibata CLUBS Keith, CLUBS Bill, then ducks ‘n’ dodges Bill, to bait him into a DUMP to the outside!
Keith ROCKS Shibata, fans boo, but Shibata whips to kitchen sink knee! Shibata throws off his shirt, but the Branches go running! They regroup with The Learning Tree, will The Wrestler make them all pay for everything they’ve done?
Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion, congratulates her on that win, and asks what it means to have that title on her shoulder. Willow says she’s traveled the world and… Stokely Hathaway walks over. Stokely says hi, then Kris Statlander attacks! The Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor beats Willow down, drags her back up, and smiles as she fireman’s carries Willow, for an F5Â onto road cases! The Babe with the Power writhes, and Stokely says Willow knows why they’re here. Kris holds up the title and Stoke says next week on Dynamite, they have a Title Eliminator match for the CMLL Women’s World Championship.
Stokely asks Willow what she thinks, but Willow is in too much pain. Stokely says okay, she’ll let them know. Kris drops the belt onto Willow, but will Willow drop Kris when these two have it out in the ring?
Backstage interview with Bryan Danielson.
It was earlier today that The American Dragon shared a conversation he had with Doc Sampson. Bryan knew that to be All In ready, he needed to do this, eat that, but this week, Doc told Bryan that his neck is fixable, so they need to keep it that way. Bryan says he’s good, he’ll work hard, do his best, and just enjoy the moment. Wembley Stadium! How awesome is that, right? But then in steps Jeff Jarrett! Double J tells Bryan that he was over there with RJ City, and he just wants to say this: Bryan knows better than anyone that Jarrett was crushed not to have won The Owen Cup. But in hindsight, Bryan overcame the odds Jarrett didn’t, and Bryan was the perfect guy to win.
Bryan has a date with destiny, and Jarrett couldn’t have been more proud to be in Calgary than to have been there when Bryan raised the cup. Bryan thanks Jarrett, and Jarrett says Bryan has Wembley in the crosshairs. And he’s facing a champion in Swerve Strickland, who knows exactly what he needs to do, is dialed in and focused on keeping that title. Jarrett knows Bryan needs to rest up physically, but there’s also a lot of mental recovery to get done. Bryan can sit on the fence, maybe even have one foot out the door, or even make an excuse. But Jarrett wants Bryan to know that if he’s going All In, then he better go All In.
A lot of people believe in Bryan. Jarrett is at the top of that list. The Last Outlaw leaves and Renee asks where all that sits with Bryan. Bryan says a lot of that is true. He has work to do. Bryan thanks Renee for the time and heads out. What will The American Dragon do to prepare himself inside and out for The Realest AEW World Champion, Swerve Strickland?
Britt Baker VS Hikaru Shida!
The DMD returned to AEW at Forbidden Door, and has since then been calling out The CEO for a TBS Championship! But the Shining Samurai, a former THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion, is not letting Britt just have what she wants! Will Shida stake her own claim to Mercedes Mone’s gold? Or will Britt prove herself more than worthy with a big return victory?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Shida powers Britt to ropes. The ref counts, Shida lets off but Britt avoids the forearm! The fans duel, “Let’s Go, Shida!” “D M D!” The two tie up and Britt wrenches to a hammerlock. Britt snapmares then ghost pins, TWO! Shida staggers up and Britt runs up to headlock. Shida fights the takeover, lifts Britt, but Britt fights the suplex. They end up in a corner, Shida stomps then whips. Britt stops herself, slips around to roll Shida, TWO! Britt hurries to clamp onto arms! Shida fights but Britt rolls her to another ghost pin, TWO! Shida has a cover, TWO!
Britt headscissors, Shida rolls free and then slips away. The fans cheer the standoff and the two reset. They approach, Shida kicks low and TOSSES Britt out. Shida storms out after Britt, but the two brawl. Shida KNEES low, RAMS Britt into railing, then brings her around the way to make her sit in a corner. Shida climbs up to rain down fists! The fans fire up and count, Shida goes all the way to TEN! Shida fires up, the fans fire up, and then Shida brings Britt back into the ring. Shida then puts Britt on the apron, gets space, and runs in to KNEE LIFT! Shida roars and the fans fire up more while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Britt sputters, Shida drags her in and stomps her. Shida paces while Britt slowly sits up. Shida digs her knee into Britt against ropes, but the ref counts. Shida lets off, drags Britt up again, and CLUBS her on the back. Shida then scoops, carries Britt around, then SLAMS her down. Cover, TWO! Shida clamps right on with a CAMEL CLUTCH! Britt endures being bent back, and she reaches out for ropes. Shida pulls Britt around but Britt still has the ROPEBREAK! Shida lets off in frustration, and she SLAPS Shida around. Shida drags Britt up to bump her off buckles, then bumps her off buckles again.
Shida brings Britt around and RAMS her into buckles! Britt falls back, Shida sits on her to cover, TWO! Shida’s cover was a little cocky so she puts Britt in the corner. Shida goes up but Britt shoves her back. Britt catches Shida for a BUCKLE SHOT! Shida sputters, Britt snarls, and both slowly sit up. Britt storms up to stomp Shida, then drags her up. Britt CLUBS Shida, ROCKS her, then reels her in. Shida fights the suplex, to CORNER SUPLEX Britt! Britt slumps off the buckles while Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally, Britt bails out, and Shida goes up the ropes. Shida says she’s gonna give Britt another bloody nose!
But then Britt rolls in and CLUBS Shida down! Britt waistlocks, but avoids an elbow. Britt runs to NECKBREAKER DROP! Britt whips, Shida reverses but Britt SLINGBLADES! And with some torque! Britt brings out her glove and puts it on! The fans fire up, Britt spells it out, “D! M! D!” But Shida runs up! Britt ROCKS Shida, fires off more shots, then storms up, into a KNEE! Shida hops around Britt to GERMAN SUPLEX! Shida holds on, rolls Britt and has the ARMBAR! Britt scrambles around, but Shida flips her over and facelocks. Gator roll and roll back into a GUILLOTINE! Britt endures, so Shida KNEES her down!
The fans fire up and Shida goes up the corner. Shida METE- NO, Britt dodges and SUPERKICKS! Britt runs but Shida dodges the stomp! Britt ripcords, but Shida stops the forearm to ROCK Britt! Shida runs, but into a SUPERKICK! Shida drops to her knees but so does Britt and the fans are thunderous! Britt drags Shida up and reels her into an Alabama Lift, Shida sunset flips, jackknife bridges, TWO! Britt has the cover, TWO! Shida prawn holds, TWO!! Britt narrowly escapes and Shida is pissed! Shida hammers away on Britt’s head, then drags her up. Shida reels Britt in, FALCON- NO, Britt fights out and wrangles Shida down!
Britt wants the arm, Shida fights around, and Shida has the ROPEBREAK! Britt lets go, the fans fire up, and Shida sees her kendo stick! Shida resists temptation, storms up on Britt, but Britt ripcords and ROLLING ELBOWS! Then a TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO!! Shida survives, but Britt clamps on! RINGS OF- NO, Shida powers out, blocks a superkick, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida reels Britt in to FALCON ARROW! The fans are thunderous, Shida takes aim, KATA- NO, Britt fireman’s carries for a takeover, and has the RINGS OF SATURN!! Shida flails, but ends up in LOCKJAW!! Shida TAPS, Britt wins!
Winner: Britt Baker, by submission
Add another classic into this storied rivalry! But wait, here comes The CEO to rain on Britt’s parade. Mone has a mic to say, “Wow. Britt, that was very impressive. What a strong victory over a former champion. Now, Britt, I know that you want a shot at this at All In. And what would be hotter than The CEO VS The DMD? So let’s get to it! Because I know that you and everybody here is waiting to hear my answer. And that answer is… NO.” The fans boo but we should’ve known she’d say that. Britt dares Mone to step inside, but wait, who is that?! Is that KAMILLE!? Formerly of NWA Power, but now here in AEW, doing Mone’s dirty work!
Kamille hauls Britt up, and marches around with her for a TORTURE RACK! Britt can only suffer the thrashing, before the TOWER HACKER BOMB! Kamille stands over Britt and Mone stands by her side. The CEO has signed a powerful insurance policy, will no one ever take the TBS Championship from her?
The Patriarchy speaks.
Holding all three belts, Christian Cage says, “Nashville, you haven’t earned the right to see Christian Cage in person, so I’ll be conducting my business from the bowels of the arena. Now this past Saturday on Collision, The Patriarchy triumphed when we walked out the brand new Trios Champions. And this Friday on Rampage, my son, Nick, is entered in the Royal Rampage, and he’s going to walk out as the brand new #1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.” Now, Nick has earned the right to speak, so Christian gives him the floor. Nick says first, the AEW Trios Championships. And soon to be, #1 contender…
Nick spots something, and he asks Kip Sabian why he keeps seeing Kip around. Kip doesn’t know what Nick’s talking about, but Nick says he saw Kip last Saturday while The Patriarchy was headed to the ring, and now Kips right here. What’s his deal? There is no deal. Oh, is that so? Well, Nick knows Kip is also in the Royal Rampage, so Nick will throw Kip’s ass out. And by the way, no one cares that Kip’s dad died. Be a man and suck it up. Nick leaves but will Kip make Nick care when Nick has a Superbad time on Friday?
PAC VS Beefcake Boulder w/ The Iron Savages!
Speaking of #1 contenders, despite Will Ospreay wanting his rematch at Wembley, The Bastard is still THE #1 contender to the International/American Championship. Will Pac show his full power against this powerhouse? Or will sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss be enough for Boulder to bulldoze The Bastard?
The bell rings and Pac steps right to Boulder. Boulder flexes, but Pac SOBATS! Pac facelocks, but he can’t suplex Boulder! Boulder suplexes Pac, but Pac slips free and kicks Boulder to a corner. Pac BOOTS Boulder, runs corner to corner, but Boulder CLOBBERS Pac! The fans boo but Boulder storms his way to a corner to go up and MOONSAULT! He FLOPS as Pac dodges! Pac UPPERCUTS, then goes corner to corner to SHOTGUN! Pac stomps away on Boulder, the ref counts, but Pac digs his boot in! The ref counts, Pac lets off, and Pac seethes. Pac goes out to then climb a corner while Boulder staggers up.
Pac MISSILE DROPKICKS and down goes Boulder! The fans fire up and Pac storms over to Boulder. Pac reels Boulder in, and he actually suplexes Boulder, for a BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Pac wins!
Winner: Pac, by pinfall
Pac says this is HIS ring, and he scrapes Boulder out of it. But what is he to do if he wants to be part of Wembley and that International/American Championship fiasco?
Team AEW speaks.
Swerve Strickland tells Nashville, “Whose house? The spirit of AEW is on the rise tonight. And I asked these young gentlemen, these warriors, last week if they were ready to get violent. And quite frankly, we’re going to show The Elite what that’s all about. All while led by yours truly, the AEW World Champion-” Darby Allin tells Swerve to shut up. Swerve’s the leader? He’s going to go around telling everyone he’s leading them? He ain’t leadin’ nothing! This isn’t about Swerve, but about getting even with The Elite. Swerve and Darby won’t see eye to eye, not tonight or any night. Oh, okay, that’s what this is all about?
Well, when it’s all said and done, if Darby wants to get violent with Swerve, then Swerve would be more than happy to. Max Caster asks if “Sneaky Swerve” will be happy to get violent with him. Does he wanna get violent with the Best Wrestler Alive? The Acclaimed remembers what Swerve did to them. Hell, Caster will get violent with Darby, too, he doesn’t like Darby’s weird ass. Anthony Bowens says that’s right! They don’t care about the petty differences between Darby and Swerve. This is about The Acclaimed getting the AEW World Tag Team Championships back and eliminating The Young Bucks.
Swerve says they choose now to get like this? This is what they wanna do? Mark Briscoe steps in to mediate. Simmer down, boys. They gotta let the past be the past. Mark feels like the man that fell out the boat, because he ain’t in it. But tonight, put all that behind them! Tonight, they are Team AEW! And The Elite, we know your game plan! It’s divide and conquer, so we cannot allow that to happen! Tonight, stand united! And all the entitled and pompous ones worldwide will know that they ain’t safe! The violent people are here! They’re coming, baby! It’s on!! The team rallies behind The Chicken, but will they be able to stand together so they can stand tall tonight?
Mariah May VS Kaitland Alexis!
No longer Toni Storm’s protege, understudy or anything of the sort, “The Glamour” that is the Queen of Harts is preparing to tear the AEW World Championship away from the Leading Lady. So will she make an example of Tennessee’s own? Or will she be upstaged by an upstart, just like Toni Storm?
The bell rings and Mariah SHOTGUNS Kaitland down! The fans fire up, Mariah fires off in the corner, but the ref counts. Mariah shoves Kaitland out of the corner, goes up the corner, and then MISSILE DROPKICKS! Kaitland flounders, Mariah smirks and drags her up, to CLUB away on her like she did Toni Storm’s bloody forehead! Then she kisses Kaitland goodnight, also like she did Storm. Then Mariah runs to KNEE Kaitland, and fireman’s carries for MAYDAY! But Mariah isn’t done, she wants to have some fun. Mariah drags Kaitland into the corner, strikes a pose, then hits the SWEET HIP MUSIC!! And then, STORM ZERO!! Cover, Mariah wins!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall
As she’s been doing for months, anything Storm can do, Mariah feels she can do better. Wait! Storm is here?! But then Mariah laughs, because she again pulled one over on us. WAIT! The ringside medic pulls off a wig and reveals she’s Toni Storm!! The fans are thunderous and Mariah senses something is wrong. Mariah turns around and sees Storm staring daggers! The two fire off haymakers and the fans erupt! Refs rush out here, fans boo, but the refs and security pull the two apart! Nashville wants to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but we’ll see plenty of that in Wembley Stadium. Storm gets a mic and shouts, “ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE!? BECAUSE I AM!!”
Security does everything they can to keep Storm back. Is Storm’s Summer blockbuster going to be a revenge story a la Kill Bill?
Blood & Guts: The Elite VS Team AEW!
As Dean Malenko narrates, this isn’t just any normal grudge match. This is for the heart and soul of AEW as these ten men step into two rings and four walls of unforgiving steel. “Blood will be shed, but who has the most guts? Submission or surrender, who will survive?” The Elite has the advantage, and is almost completely golden as The Young Bucks have the tag titles, Kazuchika Okada has the Continental Championship and Jack Perry has the TNT Championship, but will gold matter when everything is about to be stained a crimson red?
First out for The Elite is the Scapegoat, Jack Perry! He even brings a chair with him because he isn’t taking any chances. Who will meet him from Team AEW? We find out, after the break.
Blood & Guts returns and Darby Allin makes his entrance! Fitting as the Relentless One wants after that TNT Championship. And also fitting is that Darby’s once again got thumbtacks all over the bottom of that skateboard! But Jack SMACKS Darby right at the cage door! The fans boo but Jack soaks it up while he goes out after Darby. Jack CLUBS Darby, hauls him up, and BOMBS him into the side of the cage! Jack drags Darby along, CLUBS him down again, then goes to fetch steel steps. Jack pushes the steps against railing, then brings Darby up. Jack whips Darby hard into the steps, and Darby tumbles up and over railing!
Fans fire up as the front row catches Darby in their laps! Jack soaks up the heat, stalks Darby into the crowd, and CLAWS Darby’s back! They now bring the fight around to the back of the floor level! They brawl, keep moving, and the fans fire up as they get to see more of the fight up close! Darby has fans move so he can push Jack all the way back to the railing! The fans fire up as Darby then LARIATS Jack back to ringside! Darby hops the railing, stalks Jack, and he drags Jack into the ring. The fans fire up for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” and the cage closes. But Jack SMACKS Darby with a trash can!
Jack dumps out the can, brings out bright yellow cable, and he learned this one from Rush! Jack CHOKES Darby with the cord, then wedges the can into a corner. Jack stalks Darby, stomps him, then hauls him up to LAWN DART Darby into the trash can! Darby flops back and Jack grins. Jack soaks up more heat from Nashville, then brings the trash can back into the corner. Jack RAMS Darby’s head into the can, RAMS him again, then punches the can out and CHUCKS it at the cage. Jack riles the fans up, then soaks up the heat again. Jack goes back for Darby, taunts him, but Darby SPITS at him!

The countdown finishes up again, and The Elite sends out Matthew Jackson! The other Buck is here, bringing a title belt and a second suitcase. What’re in those boxes anyway? Matt tosses his to Nick before he runs up on Mark. Mark ROCKS Matt, but Nick CLOBBERS Mark with the case! Darby runs up, kicks Nick, but Matt fakes Darby out! DDT on the briefcase! The case cracks open from the impact! Matt dribbles Mark’s face off the steel, and Mark’s busted open! The fans boo as Nick has Jack watch the cases.

Mark JAMS Matt with crutches, but the countdown returns. The Elite send out The Rainmaker! Bowens storms into the first ring to meet Okada, who is bringing that Rainmaker Drive street sign. Okada and Bowens stare down, then Okada swings! SMACK for Bowens! SMACK for Briscoe! Darby kicks low, runs, but into a SMACK!

The fans boo but Okada grins. Matt wants someone to check his arm, and Jack works to get those tacks out of there, while Blood & Guts goes picture in picture.
Nick has his own crimson mask forming but he helps Okada beat down on Team AEW. Jack also has a crimson mask from all that violent scissoring. Nick uses a hammer to CHOKE Mark, and Okada CHOKES Bowens with a chain! The Bucks look and behold, they find a table! They put that in the ring, Okada keeps Bowens down and Jack stomps Mark. The Bucks bring the table all the way into the second ring, even as the brawling continues all over. Jack JAMS Mark with a chair, Matt scoops to SLAM Bowens on the table. Okada scoops Bowens and SLAMS him on the table! Matt punches away on Mark, then digs his boot in.
Nick stomps Darby, then Matt mocks the crane stance before he BOOTS Mark down. Nick SHINING WIZARDS Darby, then SHINING WIZARDS Mark! Nick soaks up the heat, Matt rains down fists on Darby, and Okada CLUBS Bowens in No Man’s Land. Jack joins in to mug Bowens, and then the Bucks SMACK Mark with the toolbox itself! Nick mocks the fans rallying, but Mark ROCKS Nick! Mark fires off fast hands, but Matt storms over to stop him. Matt and Mark brawl now, Okada joins in, but Mark fires forearms and chops! Okada doesn’t flinch! Mark CHOPS again, Okada ROCKS and BOOTS and fires off on Mark!
Blood & Guts returns to single picture yet again, and the countdown is back. Team AEW sends Max Caster! He has a mic, but not for rapping! Platinum Max dodges Okada to MIC BOP him! Caster then takes off his chain so he can CHAIN FIST Nick! And CHAIN FIST for Matt! And then one for Jack! Caster whips Nick hard into steel! And he SMACKS Jack with a chair! Caster goes up a corner, aims at Okada, and the fans fire up for Caster’s FLYING CHAIR SHOT!! The fans are thunderous as Caster then goes looking for things. Bowens SMACKS Okada for himself, and Darby CHOKES the Rainmaker for good measure.
Caster brings out a board covered in barbed wire! The fans fire up as Caster places that down, then he and Bowens bring Okada up. DOUBLE SUPLEX- NO, Jack & Nick make the save! The fans boo but Nick fires off on Bowens, Jack is after Caster! Jack TOSSES Caster, The Bucks whip Bowens into a corner. Then they DOUBLE HIP TOSS Bowens onto the barbed wire board! Bowens writhes and rises up, only for Matt to scoop SLAM him on the board!! The fans are cringing, but Matt brings out a second barbed wire board! Matt presses that down onto Bowens for the world’s most violent sandwich! Nick then climbs up, to SWANTON BOMB!!
The fans lose their minds while Bowens writhes from being turned into a violent panini! But wait, now Okada has brought out something. It’s a mysterious black bag! And out pours so many thumbtacks! Okada shoves those tacks into Caster’s mouth! Then The Bucks pump up their special edition Reeboks! Jack holds Caster in place for the DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!! Caster sputters, coughing up tacks, and Nick says, “Yo, listen! He ain’t rappin’ anymore!” The countdown returns, and The Elite is complete now that Hangman Page is here! At least, he should be here. The Bucks wait, but The Black Hat isn’t coming?
Darby and Mark fight back on Jack and the Bucks! Okada fights with Caster but Mark goes after Okada! Darby COFFIN SPALSHES Nick, COFFIN SPLASHES Matt, repeat! Then Darby sends Nick into Matt, to then feed Nick to Mark for a CORNER EXPLODER! Mark BOOTS Jack, Caster stands to stand on Nick’s neck! Bowens wraps barbed wire around his leg!? Caster opens Nick up, Bowens goes up, and despite the pain he’s causing himself, he still BARBED WIRE ME TIMBERS!! Nick experiences his own painful scissoring, and the fans are thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” while Mark puts the barbed wire boards aside.
The countdown is back, and that means Swerve is now here! Prince Nana gets everyone dancing as the AEW World Champion makes his way out, but NOW Hangman is here! Hangman CLOBBERS Swerve from behind with a chair! Swerve is his only target so now Hangman has a reason to fight! Hangman fires fists on Swerve, then brings out handcuffs!! Hangman cuffs Swerve to the side of the cage! Swerve tries to fight back but Hangman fires hands! Mark fireman’s carries Matt but Matt CLAWs Mark’s eyes! Matt is free, and Okada SHOTGUNS Mark into the barbed wire boards! Mark is already bleeding from one side, will he be bleeding from his back now?
Hangman cuffs Swerve’s other arm to the cage, Swerve is defenseless! But Nana hurries to fight Hangman! Hangman DECKS Nana, and then snatches the title belt. Hangman says Swerve has never deserved this title, it should never have been Swerve’s! Then Hangman CLOBBERS Swerve with the belt! Hangman fires hands on Swerve, and says he will eat Swerve alive! Hangman just hammers away with haymakers. The Bucks DOUBLE POWERBOMB Mark onto barbed wire! But then Matt gets a mic to shout at Hangman, “What are you doing?!” Hangman, look at Matt! They had a deal! And a deal is a deal, Hangman!
Last time, The Bucks suspended Hangman and he sat at home. But now, if Hangman doesn’t get in the ring, he is FIRED. Hangman hears that, and he leaves Swerve behind to step into the ring. Nick locks the cage so no one else can get in or out. The refs say no, all ten men have to be inside first. Matt says who cares? He’s an EVP, just do what he says! The bell rings so that Blood & Guts can “officially begin.” Jack goes after Bowens, Hangman argues with Matt, but Okada steps in. The Cowboy and the Rainmaker argue, and Okada shoves Hangman! But then Darby and Mark rush up! Darby jumps on Hangman while Mark fires hands on Matt!
Caster rises up, he CLUBS away on Okada! Bowens turns things around on Jack! Mark rains fists on Matt, Swerve fights and he already has one arm free. Swerve works to get the other arm free, but Blood & Guts goes picture in picture.
Caster JAMS Nick up with the Rainmaker Drive sign, Mark SMACKS Hangman with what’s left off a barbed wire board, but Nick CHUCKS trash can at Darby! Mark CLUBS away on Hangman, Okada JAMS Bowens with a crutch, and Hangman fights up. Matt runs to SHOTGUN the trash can into Caster’s head! Nick brings that can around to SMACK Darby with it. Okada CHOKES Bowens with the crutch while The Bucks taunt Swerve. Mark and Hangman brawl, Bowens SMACKS Okada with the crutch! Mark fireman’s carries Hangman for a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Mark then hurries up a corner! FROGGY-BOW, onto knees!
Mark writhes, The Bucks continue to taunt Swerve, but Bowens scoop SLAMS Okada onto Hangman! Matt whips Caster to a corner, sends Nick in, but Caster TOSSES Nick! Matt runs in but Caster TOSSES him, too! But then the Bucks DOUBLE GIRI Caster! Okada Alabama Lifts Caster for a REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Jack FROG SPLASHES! Jack bounces off the cover, but The Elite keep Caster down. Blood & Guts returns to single picture one more time, and Bowens fights back. The Bucks knock him over, and wait! Jeff Jarrett is storming out here?! Karen, Sonjay & Lethal try to stop him, but he and his guitar are going to ringside!
Wait, here comes Brandon Cutler to stop Jarrett. The EVP’s little sidekick says don’t even dare getting involved! But wait, here comes Daddy Ass! Billy Gunn grabs Cutler, tells him to “SUCK IT!” then ROCKS him with a right! Jarrett adds the SMASH HIT! Cutler falls, and both Billy and Jarrett free Swerve! The cuffs are tricky, though, but Nana brings out bolt cutters! Team AEW fights The Elite, and the cuffs are off! Nana hands Swerve the bolt cutters to start making a hole in the cage itself! The fans fire up as Swerve is in and he deals out LARIATS for every member of The Elite! DROPKICK for Okada, then an UPPERCUT!

Then gator roll and deadlift into the BRAINBUSTER! There are still some tacks on the mat, too! But now, Hangman and Swerve lock eyes. The fans are losing their minds seeing these two head for No Man’s Land. Both men step inside, and they fire off haymakers! The fans erupt again as Swerve gets the edge with shots high and low! But Hangman dodges one to LARIAT Swerve into the second ring!
Hangman aims, slingshot and BUCK- NO, Swerve catches the lariat to arm-drag Hangman, shift around, but Hangman kicks free of the armbar! Hangman has a piece of board, and he DIGS the barbed wire into Swerve’s forehead! Swerve pushes the board back, and Darby hops onto Hangman for CODE RED! Okada FLAPJACKS Darby! Okada looks around, The Elite regroup with him, and they DOUBLE SUPERKICK Mark! But Mark rebounds to DOUBLE LARIAT The Bucks! Jack GERMAN SUPLEXES Mark! Swerve somersault COMPLETE SHOTS Jack! Okada stomps Bowens but Bowens hits back!
The fans are thunderous as The Acclaimed regroup. They clear some space, and Swerve brings a staple gun! Swerve stalks Hangman and wants to bring this back to Texas Death! Hangman fights off the stapler, and Nick LOW BLOWS Swerve! Matt finally opens that metal briefcase, and inside are more staple guns! The Elite is armed and dangerous now! Swerve stands his ground but that’s 4v1! Jack STAPLES Swerve from behind, and then so does Nick! Matt and Okada join in, they staple Swerve from all sides! The fans boo, but Swerve is laughing?! The fans say they’re all sickos! Nick runs up, Swerve blocks his staple attack!

Swerve BOOTS Hangman, they brawl up the ramp and then to the stage! Swerve brings Hangman around into a SLEEPER! They go around the back of the tunnel, and then FALL OFF THE STAGE! They crash down through spare tables!! Matt hurries out of the cage and up the ramp, asking what the heck, but Bowens is in pursuit! Bowens ROCKS Matt, ROCKS him again, and brings him back to the ring. Caster and Nick join in, Nick SMACKS Caster with a trash can lid!
Nick SMACKS Bowens with a trash can lid! Nick goes to his brother’s side, and the Bucks go grab a table! They bring that table around to the side while Darby fires hands on Jack. The Bucks set up two tables side by side on the outside here. Mark brawls with Okada, and Blood & Guts goes to break.
Blood & Guts returns and tables have appeared in the ring, but The Bucks have constructed a double decker on the outside! Bowens has been put in between all those tables, and Nick says it’s time! Nick climbs up, Matt holds Bowens down, but Caster CLUBS Matt! Caster whips Matt into barriers! Bowens climbs up after Nick now and Nick panics! Nick kicks away on Bowens, CLUBS him, but Bowens hits back! Nick SMACKS Bowens off steel! And again! Bowens wobbles, but Nick SMACKS him again! Bowens falls through all the tables!!

Nick returns, but Mark has him, too! JAY DRILLER!!! Darby puts Jack on a table, and Mark fires hands on Matt. Mark puts Matt on a table, Darby SMACKS Jack with a kendo stick! Mark goes up, FROGGY-BOWÂ on Matt through the table!! Darby goes up, to then climb the truss and even Spider-Man up to the beams up above! Darby hangs over Jack like a bat, before a SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Jack writhes while fans lose their minds all over again!
Caster returns into the ring, he brings the case over, and he opens it up. This one has handcuffs!? Caster hands those over to Mark, and Mark uses those to cuff Jack to the steel! Caster keeps Matt down, then he hands a kendo stick to Mark! Mark SMACKS Jack! Jack refuses to give up so Mark SMACKS him again! Mark wants Jack to say it, but Jack shakes his head. So another SMACK and the kendo stick breaks! Jack SPITS in Mark’s face! Darby has a mic to say if Jack’s not gonna quit, then let’s get the party started. The fans fire up hearing that, and Darby goes looking under the ring. Darby goes way under there…
Mark meanwhile HEAD SHOTS Jack with his own Scapegoat chair!! Jack sputters, but he refuses to give in! Mark tells Jack to just say it. Jack refuses, so Mark aims at Matt, who is also cuffed. Mark says you hit the EVP, you’re good as done! Caster SMACKS Okada off steel, and Darby returns with an OIL CAN AND LIGHTER!! The fans are losing their minds, Mark is also panicking, but Darby storms right up to Jack. Darby douses Jack with gasoline, a throwback to Anarchy in the Arena! Darby smirks as he says he is gonna light Jack on fire if he doesn’t quit. Jack doesn’t think he’s serious, but he should remember back to Anarchy in the Arena…
For that matter, Darby wants a TNT Championship match at All In! Agree to that, or Darby lights Jack on fire! Mark is freaking out, but Jack is defiant to the end! Matt talks with Darby, saying that as an EVP, he can make this happen! Matt says if Darby wants the match, then it is done! But let’s stop, this has gone too far! Darby says hell no. Matt has to say it, or Jack’s lit on fire. Matt says fine! The Elite quit! The Elite quit!! The bell rings, Team AEW wins!!
Winners: Team AEW, by surrender
Darby smiles at Jack and points to the All In sign. The Scapegoat was saved by The Bucks, but will he be able to survive the Relentless One in Wembley? Or will Darby once again be the Face of TNT?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, and I appreciate that since it was Blood & Guts night, they kept it to more matches than talking, and even then we had fewer matches since Blood & Guts itself was the whole second hour. Good opening promo stuff with Ospreay and MJF, but I’m a little torn with what MJF is up to. Converting the International Championship into the American Championship is what NJPW just did with the United States Championship becoming the United Kingdom Championship becoming the Global Championship, it just needs Moxley being in here. But I do have to admit, the American Championship looks so good, I kinda want MJF just to establish that since AEW loves having a ton of belts anyway.
And another complicated detail is that Pac is #1 contender to said American/International Championship. Will he have to use his title shot at Battle of the Belts this weekend? Or will he “talk with Tony Khan” and make things a Triple Threat, so that Pac essentially takes the Moxley role? Either option seems a shame for Pac, because he isn’t winning the title in either scenario. No title ever changes hands on a Battle of the Belts special, and I recall Moxley taking the loss to Finlay in that Global Championship story so Pac would probably take the loss in this International/American Championship story.
Jericho VS Suzuki was a great match, especially with how many chops were thrown. They didn’t even need to go as extreme as FTW Rules allow because everyone loved the chop-a-thon. Jericho winning made sense, and I’d say Suzuki being able to get back up doesn’t make sense after he got hit by Judas Effect, but it was of course to bring out Bill & Keith. And then Bill & Keith were for bringing Shibata out and Shibata getting some semblance of revenge. Jericho VS Shibata for the FTW Championship one more time could be a great Battle of the Belts match, though, so I hope they do it.
Great match from Britt VS Shida, and of course a great win for Britt. Mone showing up was a given, as was her refusing to face Britt. Kamille showing up was a great surprise, and she’s already jumping right into a great story being Mone’s muscle. I have a feeling Britt will have to beat Kamille to get her shot at the TBS Championship. Really good promo from Willow, Stokely and Kris in that it was just an ambush by Stokely & Kris. Willow VS Kris as an Eliminator will be great stuff, and I have a feeling Kris wins that to then set up the title match, possibly for All In to keep the Forbidden Door vibes going.
Great promo segment Bryan and Jarrett, and I like Jarrett encouraging Bryan to make sure he’s 100% for All In. Great stuff with Mariah May and Toni Storm, especially the double swerve for Storm to make her appearance. This adds some great heat to their title match, and I still can’t be sure who wins. Good promo from The Patriarchy, and with the Royal Rampage returning to set up a world championship match for AEW Grand Slam in late September, just about anyone can come out of that the winner. It probably won’t be Nick Wayne or Kip Sabian, though. Though, Nick does have beef with Swerve so it isn’t completely impossible.
And great promos to hype up Blood & Guts. The Elite beating up Christopher Daniels was an interesting detail, but of course The Elite cheats by having a rigged coin. Mark Briscoe helping iron out the dysfunction in Team AEW was good stuff, too, because Darby and Swerve also have beef that dates back a long time. Blood & Guts itself was awesome, and this was certainly one of the grittier Blood & Guts matches. Good use of references back to other hardcore matches, from the Rainmaker Drive sign to the staple guns.
Though admittedly, B&G requiring a submission or surrender kinda forces them to drag stuff out. Many times, a pin would’ve surely won, but doing away with pins means no one has to worry about being too tired to kick out or missing a cue to break up a cover. That aside, Swerve and Hangman taking each other out with that stage spot was not expected, but I did appreciate the dysfunction between Hangman and the rest of The Elite beforehand. Hangman and Okada should definitely have it out for the Continental Championship at some point, though.
Jack VS Darby for the TNT title at All In was a given, but Darby threatening immolation was an unorthodox way to get there. And I feel like there’s going to be dysfunction now between Jack and the Bucks. Jack’s whole thing is sacrifice, yet Matt wasn’t willing to watch him be burned head to toe just for a match. Jack could use this to become even darker and crazier than The Bucks ever were and he could go rogue from The Elite.
My Score: 9/10

Winners: The Don Callis Family, by pinfall
The Alpha stands tall over Davis as friendly fire takes out Ospreay’s team. But what happens when things divide into 1v1 matches? Will Konosuke still be International Champion after he and Ricochet go #OuttaThisWorld? Will Kyle prove that he IS The Protostar after tearing down Will Ospreay?
Jon Moxley & The Death Riders speak.
“Despite recent discoveries that Orange Cassidy is a snake, coldblooded, uncaring, unmoving, a serpent lurking in the darkest corners of the battlefield, my objective remains the same, my job on Saturday night remains the same. You may be this borderline sociopath, you may be a great guy just like everybody thinks. I don’t care if you’re a great guy. I don’t care what kind of person you are. When the bell rings on Saturday night, and the AEW World Championship hangs in the balance, you are a threat to my people. And I will destroy you.
“There’s so much more going on behind Orange Cassidy’s eyes than any of us could’ve imagined. You may make it to Full Gear with your mind in tact, but your body… For that matter, Darby Allin’s body… Still up for grabs.” Claudio jumps in, speaking in German about what he’ll do to Darby. Then in English, he says, “Tonight, I’m gonna end you.” Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder. Will The Maniac’s top henchmen do his dirty work for him when they dismantle Cassidy & Darby? Or will it just be fuel on the fire for Freshly Squeezed & The Relentless One? Speaking of…
Darby Allin speaks.
“Claudio, I’m gonna keep this really short. Let’s not forget you’re the one who put the chair around Bryan’s neck and pulled the trigger on his career. Every single one of you Death Riders will have your day. And Claudio, today’s your day.” Will Moxley’s men be dealt with in brutal fashion before he suffers the same?
The Hurt Syndicate arrive.
Renee Paquette waits in the parking lot as an SUV pulls up, and she welcomes Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley to the show. She heard MVP has a surprise in store, what’s he got planned? MVP says yes, there is a special treat for the AEW audience, and that is this announcement: The All Mighty Bobby Lashley will be in action here tonight on Dynamite in Reading, Pennsylvania, prior to his PPV debut on Saturday! Renee asks if MVP is at all concerned to put Lashley in a match- OH NO, Swerve attacks!! Swerve knocks Lashley over, then laughs as he gets away!
Shelton helps Lashley up but that ambush might’ve been with Swerve’s own silver chain. Will Lashley elect not to compete tonight after all? Or is he about to make an example out of whatever poor soul is put in front of him?
Adam Cole is here!
Reading fires up as the Panama City Playboy makes his way to the ring. They join in with the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Reading sure is ready! Cole wishes so so badly that he could get his hands on MJF this Saturday, but he’s not. MJF did everything in his power to make sure he and Cole didn’t fight on Saturday, and he succeeded. But do you know who else succeeded last week? Roderick Strong did! The fans cheer as Cole says he and Roddy have the exact same goal: Give MJF the ass whooping of a lifetime! And that is exactly what happens at Full Gear!
The fans cheer, and wait, Kyle O’Reilly makes his way out here. The longtime friend of Cole & Roddy makes his way out here, and already has a mic. Kyle isn’t sure if Cole remembers, but 14 years ago, right here in Reading, PA, Cole and Kyle had their second match ever against each other. They’ve come a long way. Being associated with Cole has given Kyle some incredible highs, and some serious lows. And through those lows, Kyle knows Cole better than anyone. Which makes Kyle the only one willing to tell Cole the truth. The truth is, this crusade against MJF has got to end before someone gets hurt.
This obsession, Cole needs to wash his hands of it. His ankle has already been reconstructed, what’s next? Cole has friends willing to take a bullet for him, Kyle included, but Cole has got to stop having his friends fight his battles. Roddy barely makes it out alive last week, and now he wants to fight MJF! He wants to END MJF, all because of Cole. Kyle just doesn’t have a good feeling about any of this. Cole asks Kyle what he’s trying to say here. Kyle doesn’t think Roddy can handle MJF? Kyle asks Cole if he really thinks MJF isn’t already three steps ahead. MJF hasn’t been here for weeks but he’s pulling all the strings.
Cole should know that dealing with MJF is like playing with fire, and Kyle doesn’t wanna see his friends get burned. Cole needs to realize why so many of his friends are willing to go to war for him, and it’s because he is a great leader, an elite pro-wrestler, and a great friend, who doesn’t wanna see his friends get hurt. At least, so Kyle thinks. But Cole has to face facts: MJF is more of an evil bastard than Cole will ever be, and that is a good thing. Kyle drops his mic and walks away. Cole drops his mic, and has a lot to think about. Does Kyle have a point? Can Cole just let Roddy handle MJF and then move on?
Orange Cassidy speaks.
“A little later tonight, I’m gonna make an example out of you, Wheeler Yuta. And I’m gonna show everybody exactly what I’m gonna do this Saturday to you, Jon Moxley. And that’s walk down to that ring and beat you, alone.” But The Conglomeration steps in. Mark Briscoe has Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii with him as he asks Cassidy, “What sense does that make, man?” Moxley said himself, there’s five Death Riders, one Cassidy. Conglomeration has his back, they are here for him. Cassidy says no, no one else needs to get hurt. Get hurt? What’s Cassidy talking about? The Conglomeration are ready to scrap!
PLEASE!! Cassidy is asking them… They don’t have to believe him or even understand him. But just promises him they’ll stay back here. If Cassidy insists, then so be it. Cassidy says there you have it, Jon. Five of you, one of him. Do what you’re gonna do. Because at Full Gear, Moxley’s gonna need all the help he can get. Cassidy is himself wanting the best for his friends, but will that work out for the betterment of AEW? Or is he just playing into Moxley’s hands?
Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida!
The #BornAgainKristen bodied the bullies that are Mercedes Mone & Kamille the last time she saw them, but she still needs to tune up for Full Gear.

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Shida gave Kris a powerful match, but clearly Shida has to iron out her own crisis of confidence. Kris still shows Shida respect by helping her up. But wait, here comes Mercedes Mone & Kamille! The fans boo The CEO & Brickhouse but Mone has a mic. “Readiiiiing~! Say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. Mone asks Kamille if she wants to hear a fun fact about Pennsylvania. The 76ers have had yet another terrible season! Embarrassing~! But shoutouts to Mone’s Celtics for another incredible victory. The fans boo Boston but Mone says another person with an incredible win was Kris Statlander. Mone is rarely impressed by her competition.
Does anyone else want to hear another fun fact? “NO!!” Well, Mone has held the TBS Championship longer than Kris! So at Full Gear, Mone will NOT lose, because she is The CEO, the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And she will NEVER lose this title! Fans tell The CEO to STFU, but Mone tells Kamille go get the job done! She is so pissed off! GO! NOW! Kamille walks up the steps past Mone, but with only one good arm! Mone says hurry up, but Kamille looks at both Shida and Kris. Kamille takes as swing, but Kris blocks to ROCK her! Shida QUESTION MARK KICKS Kamille! Then Kris & Shida TOSS The Brickhouse!
Shida goes out after Kamille, but then Mone goes after Kris! Mone goes for the backstabber, but Kris holds onto ropes! Mone is almost stuck up there, but Kris pops her around! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!! The fans fire up as Kris stands tall over The CEO! Will Kris once again become the Face of TBS? Or will Mone find a way to win even without her insurance policy?
The Hurt Syndicate has a cameraman with them.
MVP says hold on, he and Shelton have found Swerve. They go after the man in the big fur jacket, but that’s not Swerve! Swerve gave his jacket to the guy, but MVP & Shelton still beat this guy up for helping Swerve. MVP says they’ll find Swerve later, Lashley has his match up next. And it’ll be a 2-on-1 Handicap?! The All Mighty really IS mad, what poor duo is about to be destroyed?
AEW hears from Jay White and Hangman Adam Page.
“Hangman. You and I are on that same path to that same destination, trying to grasp at that same prize. 2024 still has some time left for The Switchblade to share the spotlight with Hangman once more!” But the Blackhat Cowboy asks White if he knows “Who the hell I am?! I am the Hangman! I am THE man! They named this whole godforsaken PPV after ME!” White says when he makes Hangman TAP, it will be a public declaration! But Hangman says White can’t make him tap, even if his life depended on it! These two vicious gunslingers will write one more chapter in their storied rivalry, but who comes out riding off into the sunset?
2v1 Handicap: Bobby Lashley w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Joe Keys & Cheeseburger!
The All Mighty thought he’d have an easy night getting in a little warm-up, but The Realest quickly reminded him why he’s the most dangerous man in AEW! Lashley’s now doubling down to make a point, will there be nothing left of Keys & Cheese after tonight?
The bell rings and while the fans rally for Cheeseburger, he and Keys each argue the other should start. Lashley runs up and TOSSES Burger across the ring!

Nana eggs the Hurt Syndicate on so Shelton storms out after Nana. MVP watches the rest of ringside for Swerve, but Swerve slides out from under the ring!

Backstage interview with Mariah May & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is now with the AEW Women’s World Champion and her best friend, the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion. They are planning their Championship Champagne Celebration for Full Gear, BUT Friday Night Rampage will feature the two of them teaming up for the first time in just over a year. Mariah says no champion deserves a celebration more than her. Her rise to the top was meteoric, and her reign will be historic. She takes ish and makes it shine, any time and any show, against anyone. In Mariah’s division, you hold this title, or you die.
Mina says yes, Mariah has been working so hard. She came back to tell her she is so very proud. And Mina will give Mariah a celebration she’ll never forget! Mariah says the “H Cup Angel” (Mina) and the “Woman from Hell” (Mariah herself) are going to make Rampage into Glampage. Everyone wants Mina, but Mina wants Mariah. And then… They’ll dance! These two shimmy and shake their way out, will they finally be toasting their victories at Full Gear?

Backstage interview with Private Party.
Renee is with Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy and brings up that at Full Gear, the AEW World Tag Team Championships are on the line in a Fatal 4 Way. Private Party takes on The Acclaimed, The Outrunners and The Kings of the Black Throne. In such a match, the champs do NOT have to be pinned or submitted to lose their titles, so what is their strategy? Brother Zay says they obviously can’t tell her that, the other teams are watching. But it seems like the odds are against them. Fortunately, the odds have been against them their whole lives, their whole careers, just like against The Young Bucks.
But look what happened: Private Party defied the odds, beat The Bucks, and are your AEW World Tag Team Champions. That is the same thing that happens on Saturday. They leave Newark, New Jersey still your tag team champions. Because there ain’t no party like a Private Party, that’s a flex. Oh, speaking of! It’s AJ & Big Justice! They’re fired up to be here, but Justice wants to know what that face Zay made was last week. Oh, right, this one, with the chin scratching. And AJ says they’ve got a BIG announcement coming up after this! Maybe some double chunk chocolate cookies? BOOM!!
A green Porsche Taycan pulls up to the middle of nowhere.
And out steps MJF. The Wolf of Wrestling tells the hobo to “go get it” as he throws spare change off to the side like birdseed. MVP then sits back and tells Roderick Strong, “You’ve been through so much. The kid who grew up trailer park trash with two abusive alcoholic parents. For crying out loud! Your own mother shot your father right in front of you. That’s traumatizing. And as you know, Roddy, trauma is the result of an overwhelming sense of danger, powerlessness and fear. However, healing is a result of feeling safe, empowered and supported. That’s why you’d do anything for Cole. He makes you feel all those positive things that you lacked.
“It’s why I was no different than you. It’s why I trusted him. Unfortunately, the difference between you and I: Cole for me was a mirage of what I wanted him to be. A fraud, a liar. And whilst Cole is a fraud, I do actually believe deep down, in his narcissistic, sociopathic, frail, feeble frame, is a man who cares about Roderick Strong. This is precisely why upon further contemplation, I am happy you won, Roddy. Because I want Adam Cole to watch a person he cares about suffer! And because of your White trash upbringing, you aren’t intelligent enough to realize that you don’t have a prayer. And I’m sending you back to where you belong. To your grimy little trailer park.
“And after the match, you’ll be in so much physical anguish, you’ll wish your mother hadn’t shot your father, but instead shot you.” As if this scumbag couldn’t stoop any lower, he brings up Roddy’s past to hurt him. But will Roddy make sure MJF’s future is the one full of pain and suffering?
Backstage interview with AJ & Big Justice.
Renee is with the Costco Tiktok sensations and says that in the Full Gear Zero Hour, we will see #BigBoomAJ take on QT Marshall in a match 20 YEARS in the making. AJ says it may have been 20 years in the making for QT, this all started for AJ when QT threw the double chunk chocolate cookies down! Renee says AJ has not been in the ring in those 20 years, is he concerned about how his body will hold up? AJ isn’t worried about that, because he just has one strategy, and that’s the strategy they use each and every day. That strategy is to bring the BOOM~! But hey, there’s another special announcement.
Because when AJ rings QT’s bell, and he Power-Booms QT right in the middle of that ring, there is only one guy they want ringing the bell: Big Justice’s best friend, THE RIZZLER! Time to bring the BOOM~! Will QT be sleeping on the mat for The Rizzler? Will he be skibidi? Fanum Tax? Why are those even words?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
And he welcomes out The Undisputed Kingdom! The fans cheer as Roderick Strong makes his way out, accompanied by Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. Schiavone brings up Roddy VS MJF at Full Gear, and we just heard all that disgusting stuff MJF had to say. Roddy’s response is that to be honest, he has not slept a wink since last week. IT is finally happening! Roddy feels like a kid on Christmas morning. He finally gets his hands on “MAAAAAX~!” The fans echo that, and Roddy says if MJF was here tonight, and not hiding out there, Roddy would ask him: Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his childhood?
Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his parents? You don’t think Roddy’s heard that stuff before? His whole LIFE, that is what people brought up! His mom’s an addict, his dad’s an addict, mom shot dad. Good job, Max, you made Roddy feel like he was in elementary school again. And people may look at Roddy’s past and feel sorry for him, but Roddy asks us not to. Because looking at MJF, Roddy feels sorry for him. Understand this, Max. With Roddy’s life, he learned that to get the most out of life, you have to earn it. If you wanna break the cycle, you have to earn it. And that is what Roddy’s done ever since he was a kid!
And now looking at MJF, he’s been spoon-fed everything. And when something doesn’t go his way or something happens and he doesn’t like it, MJF throws a temper tantrum like a baby until that changes. So Roddy wants MJF to do something for him: Look in the mirror and think about all the things that MJF has done to people. The manipulating, the backstabbing, the using. MJF needs to realize, when the bell rings at Full Gear, MJF will pay for all those sins. With every chop, with every punch, with every elbow, with every backbreaker! And when it is all over, Roddy walks to his hotel room for the best night of sleep in his life because he earned it.
Especially because Roddy will know he has broken MJF’s back, and left him humbled! Roddy is all fired up, and the fans are with him! Will MJF finally get what’s coming to him? Or will he give Roddy nightmares for the rest of his life?
AEW shares footage taken from last Saturday night.
First, a recap video of Daniel Garcia thwarting Jack Perry’s attempts to abduct and torture Matthew Menard, as well as the joyride they took in the Scapegoat bus, with Perry as the hood ornament. And now, they have Perry strapped into a chair, the bus headlights as the only source of light. Menard is behind the camera as he asks Perry how he’s feeling. How’d that work out for him, huh? Garcia splashes Perry with water to wake him up, and says “Let’s have a conversation. I’m all ears.” Perry chuckles and says Garcia thinks he’s so much better than him. Look at where they are! Garcia shouts back that he doesn’t wanna be here!
Garcia just wants to wrestle, but AEW is full of savages! Perry tried to take Daddy Magic’s life! And those in power just sit back and watch, pretending that nothing’s going on. So what do they do? Gotta take the power back, right? Perry counters with, “Everybody’s got a code. Everybody cares about right and wrong until it costs them something. Until they have to SACRIFICE!” Garcia gets in Perry’s face, grabs him by the mouth, and says Perry’s always going on about sacrifice but Perry has no idea what Garcia’s had to go through! Perry has NO idea what Garcia’s had to sacrifice to be here!
Garcia knows where Perry wants him to go, but Garcia promises that he’s never gonna go there. Perry smirks, then SPITS in Garcia’s face. Garcia wipes that off his face and says bet. Garcia’s got something for Perry, so just wait right there. Garcia goes to the bus while Perry mockingly asks what he’s gonna do. Menard tells shut up, Jack! Life must be so hard for him! What’s Jack got to be sad about?! Garcia comes back and he has a crowbar! Perry dares him to go ahead. Garcia raises the bar, but he SMASHES up the bus! Garcia throws the crowbar away and Perry laughs. Is that it? Garcia tells Menard they’ll get out of here. What? Where’s Garcia going?
Perry says yeah, walk away. Menard tells Perry that Garcia’s gonna whoop his ass! Just wait! Menard leaves, Perry shouts into the night, but will The Face of TNT soon be the one sacrificed for the greater good?
Renee Paquette presides over the ROH World Championship contract signing.
She welcomes us backstage to the signing for this match, which will happen next week, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, in Chicago. The challenger, Tomohiro Ishii, is on her left, and the champion, Chris Jericho, is on her right. Jericho, as champion, you have the honors to sign first. Jericho smiles and waves as he says, “Hi, guys.” But Renee, you should know better. A champion of Jericho’s caliber does not just sign a contract thrust at his face randomly. He has a whole legal team that needs to approve this contract. Renee says it was sent to said legal team last week. Oh, really? What about today? The now! Jericho lives in the now!
Jericho says he’ll get this checked by his legal eagles one more time. But for now, wait here. Choto matte kudesai. Jericho steps around the corner and then down the hall. He smiles at his own picture on the wall. What a good looking guy. But wait, Ishii has followed Jericho to the hall. Jericho is a bit worried as he keeps moving. Jericho tries to block Ishii’s path but a trash can isn’t enough. Jericho tells staffers that Ishii wants to talk to them. They step in the way but Ishii pushes them aside. Jericho moves faster, pushes more people in the way, but Ishii pushes them aside. Was that RJ City?
Jericho goes up some stairs but Ishii follows. Ishii’s even gaining ground! Jericho goes through a doorway and ends up in the concourse! Fans cheer as Jericho and Ishii keep up their cat ‘n’ mouse game. Jericho decides to go into the stands! Ishii follows, and they head down the bleachers towards ringside! Jericho hurries over railing but so does Ishii. They go into the ring, and now Jericho tells Ishii to stop following him! Jericho wants a mic, a mic is brought, and Jericho says hey, listen, Ishii. Jericho would sign this contract, but he doesn’t have a pen. Ishii has a pen! Oh. Ishii clicks it for Jericho, and pushes it into him.
Jericho takes the pen, looks at the contract again, and still hesitates. Jericho signs his part, and then hands things over to Ishii. But then BRYAN KEITH & BIG BILL ATTACK! It was all a massive set-up! Bad Apple & Redwood beat down Stone Pitbull, and then sit him up! Jericho has the pen ready, but here comes The Conglomeration! Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero rush in, and Mark TACKLES Jericho! Rocky fires off on Bill while Mark CHOKES Jericho! Keith saves Jericho from Mark but Mark fires hands on Keith! The fans fire up, but then Bill SKYSCRAPER- NO, Mark UPPERCUTS Bill first! Rocky adds on!
The fans fire up as The Conglomeration pinballs Bill, and then Ishii CLOBBERS him! Bill tumbles out, but Rocky DIVES! Bill is sent into railing! Keith stands up, into a kick and underhooks! JAY DRILLER! Jericho stands up, Ishii has him, and hits a BRAINBUSTER!! Conglomeration stands tall over The Learning Tree and his Branches, and now Ishii signs his part! The match is now official, and Ishii is looking to take a bite out of Jericho! Will The Conglomeration have the ROH World Championship to be thankful for this year?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Renee is with the former AEW Women’s World Champion and notes that last time, we were going to hear from her, only for her to be interrupted by Julia Hart. What is Hayter’s reaction to that? Well, yeah, she isn’t angry, but she is baffled why Julia chose to interrupt Hayter. They’ve never really spoken or interacted, or even wrestled each other. Hayter is just curious as to why Julia felt it was okay to do that. Granted, Julia can do whatever she wants, Hayter moves to the beat of her own drum just as much as Julia. But… if Julia wants to have a chat-
Uh oh, something is happening to the video! Brody King’s message echoes, “It’s time to come home.” Julia Hart walks through the woods. Brody says The House is her foundation. She has seen her rebirth. Now it is time to rebuild. She has woken up stronger, more determined, and more dangerous than ever. Julia aims her arrow to shoot down a target: her past self. Her obstacles are just bull’s eyes. She is the Princess of the Black Throne, and the Keeper of Secrets. She is Julia Hart, and her heart grows harder. She hits her mark, but will she find Hayter Hits Hard?
Orange Cassidy VS Wheeler Yuta!
Freshly Squeezed has been accused of being coldblooded and uncaring, but he got pretty heated as he told The Conglomeration to keep themselves safe tonight. He goes 1v1 with The Decoder, a young man who was once Cassidy’s student, and who left him behind to join the then Blackpool Combat Club. If anyone is uncaring, it is Yuta with how he would then follow Jon Moxley’s lead in the destruction of Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor. Who will be the more ferocious fighter tonight, this close to Full Gear?
The bell rings and Yuta SHOTGUNS Cassidy! Yuta follows Cassidy to a corner to CHOP, then ROCK, then CHOP again! Yuta whips corner to corner but Cassidy goes up and out. Cassidy bumps Yuta off buckles, climbs up top, but has to leap over. Yuta comes back but Cassidy catches him to a backslide! TWO, but Cassidy reels Yuta in for a cradle! TWO! Yuta pulls on an ear! But Cassidy arm-drags and wrangles Yuta into the SEATBELT! TWO!! Yuta escapes and the fans fire up as these two stand off. Yuta huffs ‘n’ puffs, but Cassidy shows he wants a grapple. They feel things out, knuckle lock, but Cassidy blocks a kick!
Cassidy reels Yuta in for a headlock, but Yuta powers up and out. Cassidy ducks ‘n’ rolls, tilt-o-whirls, but Yuta suplexes! Into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Yuta tumbles out and fans fire up! Cassidy builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Yuta and the fans fire up again! Cassidy brings Yuta up, whips, but Yuta reverses to reel Cassidy in! Cassidy fights the suplex, but then Yuta fights a suplex. Yuta suplexes, to RAILING BRAINBUSTER!! Cassidy writhes and fans are stunned! Yuta stomps Cassidy, then leaves him behind for the ring count. Cassidy crawls into the ring, Yuta exposes a crossbar, and then he GRINDS Cassidy’s face into the steel!
The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Yuta steps off at 4. Cassidy seethes as he rises up, but Yuta has him at the corner. Cassidy kicks Yuta’s legs out and Yuta falls onto a turnbuckle! Yuta falls back, Cassidy climbs, but Yuta grabs Cassidy first! Yuta drags Cassidy down but Cassidy fires hands. Yuta squeezes the facelock tight, then hits an APRON DDT! The fans boo Yuta while Cassidy writhes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cassidy clutches his neck while Yuta waits in the ring. A ring count starts and Yuta eggs Cassidy on. Cassidy reaches up as the count reaches 5 of 10, but he doesn’t sit up until 6. Cassidy hobbles up, stumbles and falls, but springs back to life! He slides in at 9! Only for Yuta to be right on him! Yuta reels Cassidy in, but Cassidy turns that into BEACH BREAK! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy is too sore to be frustrated. They both sit up, and Yuta crawls his way over to a corner. Cassidy rises, checks his neck, then runs up, but into an ELBOW! Yuta goes up, but Cassidy JUMP FOREARMS! Cassidy positions Yuta just right before he climbs the corner.
Yuta resists but Cassidy still brings Yuta up. Yuta continues to fight the suplex, throws body shots, then shoves Cassidy down. Cassidy rolls back to his feet, runs back up the corner, but Yuta again fights the suplex! Cassidy fires hands, but Yuta fires back! They brawl up top, Cassidy HEADBUTTS Yuta! But Yuta HEADBUTTS back! They both wobble, but then Cassidy BITES Yuta! The ref reprimands, but Cassidy CLAWS Yuta’s back! This is very Moxley of him to do! And then Cassidy hits the SUPERPLEX! Both men are down and the ref checks. They’re both okay to continue, so a standing count begins!
Cassidy sits up, spots Yuta, and heads that way. Yuta sits up, they fire forearms as they stand! Dynamite returns to single picture as these shots go back and forth. The fans fire up for Cassidy but boo Yuta as the shots go faster and faster! Yuta BITES Cassidy’s forehead! Yuta spits then runs, but Cassidy dodges! BODY BLOW! SUPERKICK! Yuta sits down, Cassidy runs, PENALTY KICK! Cassidy slashes his throat, hauls Yuta up, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy seethes. Cassidy rains down fists on Yuta! The ref reprimands about closed fists and hair pulling, but Cassidy doesn’t stop until the ref counts 4.
Cassidy stands, and he throws off the elbow pad! Cassidy aims at Yuta, runs up, but Yuta ducks the punch! GERMAN SUPLEX! Yuta runs to CHOP in the corner! And then a wrench and PAIN THRILLER! The fans boo while Yuta seethes and stands over Cassidy. Yuta sits Cassidy up, for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! But Cassidy blocks one! And bends fingers, to then SNAP them! The fans fire up as Cassidy SNAPS finger after finger! Yuta swings, Cassidy BOOTS him, then serves up SOLE FOOD! Scoop and MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy is busting out all his best friends’ best moves, but he hasn’t gotten it done!
Cassidy aims, loads up, and ORANGE- NO, Yuta ducks! Orange fights the suplex, switches to O’Conner Roll! TWO, Yuta dodges Cassidy, scoops him, and CROSS LEG TOMBSTONE!! Cover, TWO?!? Cassidy survives and Yuta is furious! The fans are thunderous, but Yuta rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Cassidy grits his teeth but he’s almost a ragdoll! Yuta lets off to then hook the arms, CATTLE MUTILATION!! Cassidy endures as Yuta thrashes him around! Cassidy powers up as the fans rally, and he kicks around to the ROPEBREAK!! Yuta holds on, the ref counts, and Yuta finally lets go at 4!
The ref reprimands Yuta, but Yuta pushes past the ref to go outside the ring. Yuta grabs a chair! Yuta storms into the ring while the fans boo, and the ref says don’t do it! Cassidy dodges the chair shot! Victory roll, CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
Yuta is in disbelief! Cassidy beat him with a technical move! Yuta snarls but the ref keeps him back. Cassidy did what he promised in beating Yuta, but then he stares his former student down. Is Cassidy going to offer a handshake? WAIT, PAC ATTACKS! The Bastard BOOTS Cassidy down so we’ll never know what Cassidy was going to do! The fans boo more but Pac & Yuta stand on Cassidy. The rest of the Death Riders appear, and Marina Shafir has duct tape! The AEW World Trios Champions stomp away on Cassidy, like vultures picking the bones. Moxley steps into the ring while Marina hands the tape over to Pac.
Claudio puts Cassidy’s hands in his pockets, and then Pac tapes them in! Cassidy is physically bound, and Moxley paces around. Cassidy is pushed around by all the Death Riders, then Moxley DECKS him! Claudio hauls Cassidy back up, the Death Riders keep bullying him, and then Moxley SLAPS Cassidy down! But the bullying continues as they stand Cassidy up. Cassidy “kicks” Moxley! Defiant to the end! But Moxley DECKS him again! Moxley paces around more, then stomps Cassidy right on the face! Moxley leads The Death Riders away, and The Conglomeration finally comes out here.
Mark has scissors to cut Cassidy loose, and the fans boo as The Death Riders still retreat. Cassidy tries to stand up, but he has to use ropes to do it. Even so, Cassidy stands on his own two feet. Moxley eggs on the fans while Cassidy puts his sunglasses on. And then hands up, and then into the pockets! Try as they might, The Death Riders could not break the Freshly Squeezed fighting spirit! Will Cassidy finally become AEW World Champion? Or will Moxley find a way to break Cassidy at Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home Dynamite here, though it felt like it contracted Go Home Syndrome. A lot of recap and other promos, but good promos all the same. Good follow-up from last week with Hayter and Hart, that will probably really get going after Full Gear. Good promo from Mariah & Mina to hype up their celebration segment for Full Gear, and with Toni Storm’s announcement of her retirement, you can bet Toni is anything but retired! Toni Storm most assuredly will return very soon, maybe even to ruin the celebration and spark another feud. I still want us to get to Mariah VS Mina but maybe Storm moves things back so that Mariah VS Mina happens in 2025.
Good promo from Private Party to also have AJ & Big Justice show up. The promos didn’t really add much to any of the matches, though. I’m very sure AJ does hit the BOOM on QT to win, and then Private Party finds a way to survive the Fatal 4. Great stuff with Perry, Garcia and Menard, that was another very action movie kind of promo, maybe even like that grittier Batman movie. But with Garcia not sinking to the same lows as Perry, that will be why Garcia loses. Honestly, why not just have Perry blatantly get himself disqualified? What great heat for Perry while keeping Garcia strong in not becoming TNT Champion.
Great promos in this MJF story. I appreciate Cole throwing his support behind Roddy was good, as well as Kyle O’Reilly wanting Cole to just leave it at this. MJF of course insults Roddy over his past while also trashing Cole at the same time, but great response from Roddy. Also I’m not a car guy so it took me a little too long to Google out what car MJF was driving. Anyway, given all these promos, I am very confident MJF wins at Full Gear and then Cole still wants after MJF, only for Kyle to have to fight Cole to make him stop. Then we’ll maybe get Cole VS MJF at Worlds End, or even some time in 2025.
Very good stuff with The Hurt Syndicate, even with them getting jumped by Swerve. Poor Cheeseburger, that’s one fan favorite that got fed to Bobby Lashley. But Swerve getting the better of the Hurt Syndicate again and again tonight, all the more reason Lashley wins at Full Gear. Very good promo vignette from White and Hangman to hype up their grudge match, which still feels it could go either way since they’re tied on the year. And Jericho and Ishii had perhaps simultaneously the most clever and most ridiculous contract signing segment ever. And of course Jericho worked out some sort of trap, only for it to go badly for him and his team. But with that, that means Ishii is losing next week, as I figured he would.
Awesome opening match with the 8 Man, and I liked that they had Hobbs do the “fighting through the pain” angle in the match. Also, great bit with Kyle Fletcher sending Davis into harm’s way so that the Callis Family can get the better of Ospreay’s team. I thought the Faces were going to win here, but the math now says Ospreay finds a way to beat Kyle, and maybe Ricochet takes the International Championship from Konosuke Takeshita. The Continental Classic is coming, and they could easily use that round robin to get Konosuke back to a feud with Kazuchika Okada and they battle for the Continental Championship at Worlds End like we should’ve gotten at WrestleDream.
Awesome match from Kris VS Shida, and I appreciate the crisis of confidence for Shida. Kris gets a great win to go into Full Gear, and then Kris and Shida get the better of Mone & Kamille, so all the more reason Mone finds a way to survive. As for Kamille, I feel like she should ditch Mone for being treated like crap by Mone, and maybe we can get a feud of Mone VS Kamille going into 2025. And of course, plenty of promos from Death Riders and “Team AEW” members. Moxley just kinda went on and on about stuff he’s already said in reference to Cassidy, but I did like Claudio going bilingual in talking trash on Darby.
Awesome matches from those stories, of course. Darby really got thrown around but he continues to show that toughness. Claudio getting the win mostly keeps Darby back so that Darby can build towards a world title match at Worlds End. Cassidy VS Yuta was great stuff, too, with great back and forth of Cassidy wanting to end it quick, having to grit it out with Yuta, and then Cassidy still finding a way to end it with a quick pin. And they did a good job muddying the math. Cassidy wins the match, but the Death Riders beat him down, only for Cassidy to literally stand tall at the end of the show. I still don’t see him taking the world title from Moxley, though, with Darby still in the wings, but this could end up Cassidy’s best match yet.
My Score: 8.9/10

Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?
The bell rings and Garcia circles with Johnny. They tie up, go around, and Johnny powers Garcia to a corner. The ref counts, Johnny lets off slowly, but then he takes a swing!

Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”
Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?
Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up.

But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?

Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start.

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?

Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs!

Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first!

Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10
