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!

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-TO 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!

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 F5 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!

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!

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 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!
Swerve snapmares Okada, goes up, and FALLING UPPERCUTS! Nick attacks but Swerve slips around to BACKBREAKER, and POWERBOMB into Matt! Jack runs up but Swerve hip tosses him down! 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!
Matt kicks, Swerve blocks that, and he makes Nick STAPLE Matt! Then Swerve makes Nick sit on the top rope, then STAPLES his forehead! Jack runs up, into a BACKBREAKER and STAPLE!

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!

Darby hangs over Jack like a bat, before a SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Jack writhes while fans lose their minds all over again!

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

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks? Or will the Psycho Killer, the Dogs, and the Top Guys all stand tall on the road to Double or Nothing?

FTR and the Psycho Killer mug Cassidy! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Ciampa stands Cassidy up. Cassidy blocks the chop! And he blocks another chop!

Cassidy kicks and kicks but Ciampa drags him back! Cassidy turns to BOOT Ciampa away! Dax tags in and he CLOBBERS Cassidy! The fans boo but Dax flips them off.

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back.

Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?
Backstage interview with Don Callis, Mark Davis and Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?
The teams sort out, Lena starts against Slay, and the clock is ticking! Slay DROPKICKS, but Lena doesn’t budge! Ley ENZIGIRIS, but Lena still doesn’t flinch! Ley & Slay double kick, but Lena blocks the double whip! Lena whips them, ELBOWS Slay and SPIN-OUT SIDEWALK SLAMS Ley! Then she scoops Slay to SLAM her onto Ley! Lena drags Ley up, whips her to the corner, then runs up to LARIAT! And ELBOW! Tag to Megan and the Divine Dominion run side to side! BOOT from Lena, BOOT from Megan! Then GERMAN SUPLEX! Ley tumbles, the fans cheer, and Megan tags Lena back in. Lena storms up on Ley to GERMAN SUPLEX again!
The fans cheer as Lena tags Megan back in. We’ve hit 90 seconds, but it feels like forever for Ley as Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Megan kips up, then she stalks Ley. Megan eggs Ley on, slaps her around, then drags her up. Megan fireman’s carries, but Slay manages to tag in! Slay runs up, but Megan scoops her! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
The Triangle of Madness may have misted Persephone and injured Alex Windsor, but that only heaps on more trouble for the champion! Thekla must now defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in a FATAL 4 WAY! Thekla VS Jamie Hayter VS Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida, is The Toxic Spider about to get squashed? Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10
