PLAY BY PLAY
Renee Paquette welcomes us to the show.
She says AEW Dynamite is live from the heart of Chicago, Illinois, with an incredible show lined up. With that said, welcome the man who is quickly becoming the backbone of AEW, Daniel Garcia. Matthew Menard is with Garcia and fired up for him. Renee says tonight is huge for Garcia, as he could become the NEW International Champion, if he defeats Will Ospreay. How much pressure is he feeling? Garcia says he knows pressure, he and Menard are no strangers to it. They felt pressure from the first day they stepped into AEW together. But he’d be lying if he said this was anything but the most important night in his career.
Garcia tells Ospreay that he respects everything about Ospreay. Garcia respects Ospreay’s work, his motivation, and what he wants to do for AEW. But Garcia made a promise to himself and everyone around him, that he is not losing this. He puts that on his mother’s life, he promises that. And then MJF steps in! MJF applauds and says that is the winning attitude right there that will beat Will Ospreay. Garcia says he just wanted to ask MJF what MJF asked him, their match at All In Wembley. MJF says no, brother, hold on. Focus on one thing at a time. Tonight is about Garcia winning in the main event.
But MJF does have another question. He wants to be in Garcia’s corner. How does that sound? Garcia says he’ll see MJF out there! Garcia and MJF fist bump and then Garcia heads out. Menard tells MJF that he was wary of MJF still. But after everything MJF’s done for Garcia, MJF is alright by him. Menard and MJF shake on it and they both head out, will they both be there for Garcia’s big moment?

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee is with the 2023 Queen of Harts and says she is moments away from another Women’s Owen Hart Cup match. However, this is more than that, as she is facing her former best friend, Kris Statlander. This grudge match leads to the finals of the 2024 Women’s Owen Hart Cup, what is going through Willow’s mind right now? Willow reminds us of her catchphrase, “Nothing Matters, Smile Anyway.” She says it all the time, it is her mantra. She doesn’t just say it cuz it looks good on a shirt. It does, but that’s not the point. Willow lives by those words. Life can be so miserable, and Willow could just curl up into a ball and cry herself to sleep if she didn’t look on the bright side.
That catchphrase is the only real defense she has against this world that is full of pain and suffering. Willow does that for herself and for her fans. But Kris Statlander, Stokely Hathaway… Those two mock Willow because they don’t know anything about that, so they just laugh at Willow. Because that saying is for all the hard working people who never get any bit of appreciation. That saying is for Willow’s real friends. For the one fighting through depression, has the devil in his bloodstream, but is fighting and looking for light day after day just to make it to the next day.
That saying is for the little girl who wanted to become one of the best pro-wrestlers in the world. Sure, she got knocked down, but she got back up again. She may have lost her beloved TBS Championship, but she gave it the fight of her life! And so now opportunity is in front of her, and she will kick down that door and become the first-ever TWO TIME Owen Hart Cup winner! And she’ll go to Wembley and become the AEW Women’s World Champion! Willow is heading to the ring, she’ll kick Kris’ butt, and then make it all happen! Why? Because nothing matters, so smile anyway!
The Babe with the Power has that fire inside, will she use it to burn down the Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor?
Mark Briscoe is here!
The ROH World Champion asks Chicago, “What’s going on, baby? Now I come here tonight representing the baddest tag team this planet has ever seen, The Briscoe Brothers, AKA Dem Boys!” The fans cheer that, and chant for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” Mark continues to say that he is “Chicken,” but don’t get it twisted. He ain’t scared o’ s*it! Now, last week, Mark was within inches of becoming TNT Champion, but Jack Perry must’ve ate an extra bowl of Lucky Charms, and then shoved a horseshoe up his ass! Jack came out victorious at Forbidden Door. But that was last week! Mark ain’t worried about last week! He’s worried about this week, dammit!
And this week, is SHARK WEEK! The fans cheer that, and Mark says when he thinks of sharks, he thinks of blood. And when he thinks of blood, he thinks of Blood & Guts! And when he thinks of Blood & Guts, he thinks of three weeks from tonight, July 24th in Nashville, Tennessee! Team AEW VS The Elite! And right here, right now, Mark declares himself part of Team AEW! The fans love that! Mark says those boys don’t know what violence is! They don’t know what Blood & Guts is! But wait! Jack Perry slides in from outta nowhere to CLOBBER Mark with the TNT title! The fans boo as The Scapegoat stands tall over Chicken!
Kyle O’Reilly runs in outta nowhere, and he KICKS Jack down! Kyle fires off forearms on Jack in a corner, and the fans are thunderous! But then here comes Kazuchika Okada! He drags Kyle away from Jack, to ripcord and RAINMAKER!! The fans boo as Okada grins. Then Okada and Jack start beating down on Kyle and Mark, and then The Young Bucks walk out here, applauding their teammates while soaking up the heat. Matthew & Nicholas then sit Mark up for an E V P TRIGGER!! The AEW World Tag Team Champions stand tall alongside the TNT and Continental Champions, but then here comes The Acclaimed!
The fans fire up as Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn run off The Elite! The Elite run away now that things aren’t 4v2! But with Blood & Guts on the horizon, will four more men step up to put The Elite in their place?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm, Mariah May & Luther.
Renee is now with the AEW Women’s World Champion, her protege and her butler, and congratulates them on their big wins at Forbidden Door. Storm says yes, and congrats to Renee on, uh, being there that night. Renee brings up that on Rampage, it will be Mariah May VS Hikaru Shida in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup semifinals, and Shida is very confident. How is Mariah feeling? Mariah is about to speak but Storm tells her to be ready. Shida is dangerous! The last person Storm would want to face. If Mariah loses, Storm will still love her.
But remember one thing: You are Storm’s Mariah May! Storm will be in Mariah’s corner, and Mina Shirakawa watching via satellite. Mariah will digest thunder and defecate lightning, there is nothing that can stop her! Renee wants to point out that if Mariah wins the whole tournament- Storm says baby steps, Renee, baby steps. And this baby is gonna step all over Shida! Now go ahead, say the line. Mariah looks to camera and says chin up, tits out, and watch for the SHOE~! Storm says “That’s my girl!” They hug, but Luther is getting a headache. Will Mariah make Storm proud by taking down the Shining Samurai? Or will Shida flip the script on their little story?
2024 Women’s Owen Hart Cup Semifinal: Willow Nightingale VS Kris Statlander!
We heard from the Babe with the Power, and now she’s gonna put her money where her smile is! Will she avenge herself from that betrayal months ago? Or will the Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor just add insult to injury?
As Willow makes her entrance, Kris runs up the ramp! They brawl, the fans fire up, and then Kris ROCKS Willow! Kris swings, Willow dodges, and she comes back to POUNCE~! Kris tumbles all the way down the ramp and back to ringside! The fans are thunderous, Stokely is freaking out, but Willow storms right down after Kris. Willow stands Kris up to SMACK her off the apron again and again and again! The fans are loving it but the ref wants this in the ring. Willow brings Kris around, and she snap suplexes Kris to the floor! Willow stalks Kris as she crawls away, and she puts Kris in the ring. Willow follows, and now the bell rings!
Willow pushes Kris down and covers, TWO! Willow stands Kris up to ROCK her, CLUB her, then CHOP her! Kris falls over, the fans rally for Willow as she SMACKS Kris off buckles again and again and again! Willow roars, the fans fire up, and she brings Kris up, but Kris CLAWS eyes! Kris goes up and up and FLYING BACK ELBOWS! Kris seethes, stands up again, and the fans duel as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Kris fires off on Willow in a corner, CHOPS her, then huffs ‘n’ puffs as she stalks Willow to another corner. Kris throws Willow into a corner, fires off forearms, then snapmares to KICK Willow in the back! Cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but Kris stalks her. Kris gets Willow up, Willow fires body shots, but Kris CLUBS Willow down! Willow goes to ropes, Kris brings her around to bump off buckles. Kris digs her boot in, the ref counts, but Kris lets off to CHOP! Kris whips corner to corner hard, and Willow falls to the mat! Kris soaks up the heat, drags Willow back up, and whips her hard into another corner!
Willow falls over again, but Kris stands her right back up. Kris whips Willow into yet another corner, but Willow comes back to LARIAT! Kris stands, into another LARIAT! And another LARIAT! Willow scoops, Kris slips free and ROUNDHOUSES Willow down! Cover, TWO! Kris is frustrated but she clamps onto Willow with a headscissor squeeze. Willow endures, fights around, but Kris shifts into a SLEEPER! Willow endures, even as Kris keeps her from ropes. Kris goes for body scissors but Willow pushes back to a cover! TWO!! Kris lets go in time, but she HAMMERS away on Willow’s neck and shoulders!
Kris goes back to the SLEEPER! Willow fights up, snapmares free, and CHOPS Kris right down! Kris goes to a corner, Willow roars and runs in to BACK BODY BLCOK! Beach Break returns to single picture as Willow fires point-blank LARIAT after LARIAT! Willow snapmares Kris, runs up and BOOTS her! The fans fire up with Willow and she hauls Kris up. Willow whips, Kris reverses but Willow reverses back! Kris ends up on the apron, Willow storms after her, but Kris HOTSHOTS her! Kris then drags Willow to the apron, SLAPS her, but that pisses Willow off! Willow ROCKS Kris with forearm after forearm, but Kris gets around her!
Kris waistlocks but Willow holds ropes! The fans fire up as Willow throws elbows. Kris lets go and falls to the floor! Stoke panics again but Willow grits her teeth. Willow then smiles, because Stoke better move! CANNONBALL onto Kris! The fans fire up and Willow puts Kris in. Willow goes up, and then MISSILE DROPKICKS!

Willow has her saying, but it seems the phrase, “Cheaters Never Prosper” is also true! The 2023 Queen of Harts is back in the finals, will she finish strong by becoming a back-to-back Owen Hart Cup winner?
Backstage interview with Team Triple J.
Renee is now with Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett, Satnam Singh, Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal. Renee says this is already an emotionally charged match for Double J, but she also notes the added pressure of not even knowing who his opponent is tonight. How has Jarrett prepared? Jarrett doesn’t answer, he just heads out. Karen & Satnam go with Jeff, and Lethal says that the important thing is, Jarrett has never been more prepared for anything in his entire life. That is because tonight is about more than just a match for Jarrett. Tonight is about honoring one of his best friends ever in Owen Hart. Will the Last Outlaw be able to do just that, no matter who is dealt as the Wild Card?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Dynamite: Beach Break, and he says there’s a reason AEW keeps coming back to Chicago. That is because some of the best wrestling fans are right here in the Windy City. The fans cheer that! Schiavone now welcomes back to Dynamite, the one and only Dr. Britt Baker, DMD! The fans cheer as the former AEW Women’s World Champion makes her way out to the ring, after surprising everyone by showing up at Forbidden Door. Britt and Schiavone hug for their reunion, and then Schiavone lets Britt have the mic and the ring to herself. The fans chant “Welcome Back!” and “D M D!” for Britt.
Britt says damn, she missed the fans. She thought way too long and way too hard about what she was going to say her first time back, but then she told herself, “Britt, shut the hell up, stop thinking.” So she’ll just talk to us if that’s okay. The fans cheer that! Britt wants to talk about three things we all have in life: a past, a present and a future. The past is our lesson. The present is our gift. And our future is our motivation. Let’s start with the past. For the last ten months, Britt is sure many have wondered where she’s been. And any time that question was asked, the answer was: “She’s injured.” Well, yeah.
But Britt knows the fans know her, and that it’d take more than something like a couple herniated disks and torn hip labrum to keep her from AEW. But back in November, Britt was physically banged up, sure. And mentally, she was running on empty. But every time she looked in the mirror, she said, “I’m good.” Until one day, she wasn’t. Because one day, she started feeling really sick. And the room was spinning. Her vision was blurry. And her right arm was tingling and numb, it just didn’t feel right. Britt kept saying she was good. She tried opening a bottle of water, and she couldn’t. Her entire right side just stopped working.
To sum it all up, Britt spent a week in the hospital with the diagnosis of a TIA: Transient Ischemic Attack. The doctors explained that it meant her brain was not getting enough blood for that moment, and that is a major warming sign for a stroke, to the point that those are nicknamed, “Ministrokes.” And in that moment, Britt realized she is NOT good. She told Tony Khan she had to stay home, get herself right, and TK said okay, just let him know when she’s good. The fans cheer that, and Britt now jumps to the present. She is here, she is cleared and she is healthy. But…! She has to be honest, in her entire wrestling career, she was never more nervous than Sunday night, Forbidden Door.
And why was that? All she did was stand on the ramp, right? But… She was never more unsure of herself. She never doubted herself more, because she wasn’t sure anyone was gonna give a damn. The fans cheer and say “We love you, Britt!” Britt says that cheering is because they’ve all felt that. They all know the fear of rejection. It is irrational at times, but it is persistent. That fear is worse than the actual rejection. But vulnerability is showing up even when you have no control over what’s gonna happen. Sunday night, when Britt needed pro-wrestling and All Elite Wrestling the most, when she needed the fans, they welcomed her back with opened arms and chants of DMD!
For that, Britt will always, always be in their corner. Because in the end, Britt’s just like one of them, and she means that. Now, to the future, her motivation. When you are going through a hard time, just go through it. Be present, feel all of it, because if you do, it’ll make it that much better when you get to the other side. Because they all possess the impulse to be elite. And speaking of Elite… Britt has to say this, because she heard we have a new female face of AEW. The fans boo, but Britt says it must be so rewarding for this woman to call herself that after shedding blood, sweat and tears in this ring and building this company from the ground up! That must be great, right?
And CEO? Wow, those three letters, this woman must’ve worked and studied so hard for a decade to earn something like that. It is brilliant to manipulate the fanbase into chanting those letters by piping them into your theme song. But hey, guys, Britt doesn’t think they need music to tell our “new friend” the only three letters that matter are D M D! Wait, who is honking up a storm as they pull into the parking lot? Oh of course, out steps the now DOUBLE Champion, Mercedes Mone. The CEO is greeted by The EVPs, and they say that from the EVPs to the CEO, they want to congratulate her on winning both belts! Nick says this is a CEO they can support!
And hey, that championship celebration is ready. Then let’s go! Mone heads out and Matt tells production to get the ring ready. Props, decorations, go go go! Keep that energy up, and let’s have a great show! But that means they’re clearing Britt out…? The brightly colored balloons are brought out, and here comes Mone! The fans boo, and yet Britt is standing her ground in the ring, even as more balloons are poured in. Mone steps up, shows off both the TBS and NJPW Strong Women’s titles, then swaggers into the ring. Mone gets herself a mic, but the “D M D!” chants are drowning out the “C E O!” chants.
Mone says, “Uhhh… Oops! Britt, did I interrupt something? Because Chicagoooo~! It’s time to celebrate with your Double Champion, Mercedes Mone.” The fans boo but Britt says she gets it. Britt took Mone’s moment at Forbidden Door, so now Mone is doing the same thing back. Mone says what Britt does is so irrelevant. But if you wanna get real, let’s talk about it. Forbidden Door is the place, the PPV, that Mone made famous by becoming Double Champion. But Britt came out to take the spotlight. The fans chant STFU at Mone but that just amuses her. Because Mone wants Chicago and Britt to get a real good look at what a real star looks like.
The fans boo more but Britt says, “All In.” That’s what she wants. Britt was at the first All In right here in Chicago. And she was the first female to go All In on AEW by signing her name on the contract. Britt wrestled at All In last year in London, while Mone was lookin’ like a broke ass bitch with a broken leg! So Britt wants to face Mone at this year’s All In. Mone says talk to the hand, and then pie faces Britt with it. Mone tells Britt that she’s never broke. And since she is a DOUBLE Champion, there is a long list of girls waiting in the back. So Britt needs to get to the back of that line, B*TCH! Britt tells Mone, “What line?”
Mone says Britt is surely a fan, so she should know what comes next. There’s a price to pay when you mess with Mone! Mone holds up both belts, taunts Britt with them, but will Britt just snatch both of those away in one fell swoop?
Backstage interview with Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher.
Renee is now with The Aerial Assassin and Aussie Arrow, and she says tonight, Ospreay’s International Championship is on the line against Daniel Garcia. Ospreay was confident that he’d be walking in here with two titles, but that is clearly not the case. Mentally and physically, how is he feeling ahead of this match? Before Ospreay can answer, Don Callis walks in. Ospreay glares at the man who more or less cost him the world title, but Fletcher keeps him cool. Ospreay asks Renee and Fletcher to step aside so he and Callis can talk. Renee obliges, but Fletcher asks if he’s sure. Ospreay says yes, and Fletcher steps back.
Ospreay says Callis doesn’t have to say anything. Because really, it isn’t Callis’ fault. It is Ospreay’s fault. Ospreay’s the one who knocked out the ref, and he couldn’t bring the Tiger Driver out. Ospreay knows what Callis is going to say, about how he should’ve just done it. But Ospreay doesn’t think he’s that guy anymore. Last year, Callis gave Ospreay a match with Kenny Omega, and gave him the tools to defeat Omega. And when Ospreay thought things couldn’t get any better, Callis gave him Chris Jericho at All In Wembley. Ospreay’s life has changed dramatically, he owes Callis so much. There’s a loyalty to Callis for that.
But at the same time, Ospreay lost out on Sunday, and his heart broke. Ospreay wants out of the Don Callis Family, and for good this time. Fletcher is surprised, and Callis is a bit taken aback himself. Callis says he’s not normally in the habit of letting people out of agreements. But… Well, Callis is just so proud of Ospreay and what he’s done here. Calli sis happy to do Ospreay this favor. And maybe one day, Callis will ask Ospreay for a favor. They hug it out, and Callis says Ospreay will be world champion one day. Callis wishes Ospreay all the best tonight, then tells Fletcher to follow him. Fletcher is conflicted, but he obeys.
Will Fletcher ever get out from under the Don Callis Family’s thumb? Will Ospreay be able to hold onto the gold he has now that he’s flying solo?
Chris Jericho is here!
The Learning Tree makes his way out, a clipboard in hand, and security right behind him? Security stands in front of commentary, or more specifically, Taz, and Jericho gets as mic. “Hi, guys~!” The fans boo but Jericho says he wasn’t scheduled for a match, so he figured he could come out here and be a guest commentator. After all, Jericho just has to have his TV time, right? Jericho says on top of that, he had to talk about what Hook did on Sunday. Hook broke the cardinal sin of the wrestling business by stealing someone else’s signature move, namely Jericho’s Judas Effect. That is the ultimate sign of disrespect, and that doesn’t work for Jericho, brother.
Jericho says even worse than that was Taz! Taz is supposed to be an unbiased announcer, and he instead stands and claps for Hook like a mark! If anyone knows about gimmick infringement, it’s Taz. That is why Jericho talked with Matthew & Nicholas. If Jericho is going to be on commentary, he cannot be anywhere near Taz because he cannot trust Taz! The EVPs granted Jericho this executive order that says Taz is relieved of his commentary duties for the rest of this evening, AND Taz must vacate the premises immediately! The fans boo and commentary calls BS, but that’s why security is here.
Jericho shows the document, then says, “Thanks, guys! Bye, Taz~!” Taz is escorted away, and Jericho takes Taz’s seat, just in time for this next match!
Six Man Tag: Samoa Joe, Hook & Katsuyori Shibata VS The Cage of Agony!
Well, speaking of Forbidden Door, the trio that beat down The Learning Tree is right back in action. Will the Samoan Submission Specialist, the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil & The Wrestler keep up their momentum? Or will The Machine, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona reestablish their dominance in the trios division?
The teams sort out and the fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” as he starts against Liona. They circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Liona fires forearms but Joe gives those back! Joe runs, but Liona ELBOWS Joe down! Liona gets Joe up, fires body shot after body shot, and fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Liona has Joe against ropes as he fires more shots, but the ref reprimands. Liona whips, Joe reverses to CHOP! And CHOP! And JAB! JAB! JAB! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Joe runs corner to corner to ELBOW and PELE! Liona staggers, tags out to Brian Cage, but Shibata tags right in! The fans fire up as these two circle now.
Cage swings, Shibata dodges and comes back to KNEE low! Shibata bumps and BOOTS Cage, then fires off forearms in the corner! Cage sits down, Shibata goes corner to corner, but Cage gets up to CLOBBER Shibata! Cage then waistlocks Shibata, but Shibata leg capture for a toehold, HEEL HOOK!

2024 Men’s Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinal: Jeff Jarrett VS Wild Card!
J, E, Double F, J, A, Double R, E, Double T. That is how you spell the name of The Last Outlaw, and one of the few people in AEW who knew Owen Hart personally. He wants to do this not for himself, but for the memory of his late friend. But then, who is this Wild Card the Young Bucks have handpicked? Well, none other than HANGMAN ADAM PAGE!! The former AEW World Champion is back, but will this be the same #CowboySh*t as before? Or will this be something more dangerous?
The bell rings and the fans are a bit torn between Cowboy and Outlaw. The two tie up, go around, and Hangman shoves Jarrett down. Hangman glares, Jarrett stands back up, and the two reset. They tie up, Hangman powers Jarrett to ropes but Jarrett turns things around. Hangman turns them back again and they end up in a corner. The ref counts, Hangman lets off, and then he ROCKS Jarrett! Jarrett ROCKS Hangman back! The fans fire up and the two fire off fast hands! The ref reprimands about closed fists, gets in there, but then Hangman cheap shot BOOTS Jarrett!

Hangman snarls, paces, then refreshes the ring count. Hangman drags Jarrett up the steel steps, reels him in, and hits a DDT to the steel!! Hangman leaves Jarrett behind while the ref reprimands. Jarrett somehow sits back up, and he drags himself up using the steps. Hangman storms back over, brings Jarrett up and into the ring, then he tells off the fans here in Chicago. Hangman storms back into the ring, paces while Jarrett stirs, and the fans rally up. Jarrett stands, but Hangman DECKS him! Jarrett stands again, Hangman CLOBBERS him again! And again! And again!

Jarrett ducks the lariat! Beach Break returns to single picture as Hangman tumbles!
Jarrett storms out to the apron to get Hangman up. Jarrett UPPERCUTS, Hangman ROCKS Jarrett back! The shots go back and forth again, then Hangman BITES Jarrett’s face! The ref reprimands and counts, Hangman stops at 4! The ref reprimands more, but Hangman soaks up the heat from Chicago. Hangman then Alabama Lifts, but Jarrett slips free! APRON STROKE!!

This Cowboy is going full black hat, but the fans taunt him with “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Hangman throws off his elbow pad, goes to the apron, and takes aim. But then Jarrett flops over! Hangman is annoyed, asks the ref what’s up, and then he grabs Jarrett. Jarrett shoves Hangman out! Hangman hurries up, BOOTS Jarrett, then slingshots, but into a SPINEBUSTER! And step through, to SHARPSHOOTER!! The fans are thunderous as Jarrett uses the Hart family move, Owen’s favorite move, but Hangman flails and scrambles forward! ROPEBREAK! Jarrett lets go in frustration, pulling at his hair. The fans rally up as hard as they can, but then Hangman HOTSHOTS Jarrett!
Hangman goes out, loads up, BUCKSHOT!! And then he just HAMMERS away on Jarrett with fists! Another Alabama Lift, and another DEADEYE!!! Cover, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Adam Page, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
The fans boo, mostly because Hangman went the extra mile just to hurt Double J! And now, Hangman is going on to Collision to face Jay White! Will the Switchblade ruin Hangman’s return already? Or will this Wild Card deal another L on the road to the Owen Hart Cup?
Meanwhile, Team Triple J hurries out there to check on Jarrett, he is in bad shape. Is this the last we’ve seen of The Last Outlaw?
Trainers check on Hook.
But then Big Bill TOSSES one aside! Keith goes after Hook directly, but Hook fights him off! But then a FIREBALL gets Hook in the face! The Learning Tree brings out his old Wizard tricks! Keith says they told him to respect Chris Jericho! Jericho waves bye to Hook, did he just teach Hook one final lesson?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Beach Break returns as Renee catches up with The Cowboy, and she welcomes him back, as well as congratulates him on the win tonight. But she has to ask, was that level of aggression really necessary? But in steps The Elite and they applaud Hangman’s return! So good to see him again! Matt tells Renee it’s okay, they have this. Renee steps away and Matt says Hangman could say thanks for this. They lifted the suspension and got him in The Owen, and he crushed it! Congrats! Now, they’ll continue to scratch his back, so long as he scratches theirs. Hangman scowls so Matt says he’ll just out and say it.
Blood & Guts is coming up, they need a fifth man. Will Hangman be The Elite’s fifth- Hangman grabs Matt by the lapels and gets in his face! Hangman tells Matt to listen to him and listen good. Hangman is not a child, and he is not a puppet. He is therefore not The Elite’s man anymore. Hangman does not need their BS games. He is in The Owen, and he will win The Owen. Understood? Nick tries to calm Hangman down but Hangman just pushes past him. What’s his problem? The EVPs do their best to shrug that off, and they tell production to cut away. Did The Elite miscalculate in their little “foolproof plan?”

AEW International Champion: Will Ospreay VS Daniel Garcia w/ MJF!
The Aerial Assassin admitted earlier tonight that he is the only one to blame for not winning the AEW World Championship. But at the same time, he is truly on his own in AEW after convincing Don Callis to let him go. Will the #BillyGOAT still shine as a man apart? Or will having the Wolf of Wrestling’s support help Red Death finally grab some gold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly championship material!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Ospreay and Garcia circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. “This is Awesome!” already as Garcia goes for a leg and Ospreay pushes Garcia to ropes. The ref counts, Ospreay and Garcia let off slowly, and then Garcia swings! Ospreay dodges, kicks low, and headlocks. MJF is already taking off his leather jacket while Garcia powers up and out. Ospreay runs Garcia over but Garcia is right up. Garcia shoulders into Ospreay again and again and MJF coaches him up. Garcia headlocks, snapmares, then KICKS Ospreay! Ospreay stands up to CHOP! Garcia goes to a corner while fans “WOO~!”
MJF hurries to Garcia’s side to coach him up. “That ain’t nothing. You’re Daniel Garcia, that ain’t nothing.” The fans rally up and Garcia stands again. Garcia storms up, Ospreay kicks and whips but Garcia reverses. Ospreay takes a swing but Garcia gets under. Garcia back suplexes, Ospreay lands out and headlocks again. Garcia powers up and out, ducks down then hurdles, but Ospreay shoves. Garcia KICKS the back drop away, then hip tosses Ospreay down. Ospreay up-kicks Garcia away, but Garcia comes back to headlock takeover. Ospreay headscissors, Garcia kips free, and roles reverse as Ospreay hits the takeover but Garcia headscissors!
Ospreay moves around, hops around, and headstands, but Garcia SHORT-DRIVERS him! The fans fire up and MJF pounds the mat in agreement. Garcia kicks Ospreay, ROCKS him, then fires body shots and forearms! Garcia cravats, but Ospreay swim moves free. Garcia dodge the lariat to cravat again. Garcia snapmares and basement dropkicks! Ospreay writhes, Garcia covers, ONE! MJF coaches Garcia, the fans rally, and Garcia has an inverted cravat. Ospreay fights up, swim moves free, but Garcia gets him again. NECKBREAKER! Ospreay goes to a corner, the fans fire up, and Garcia runs in to clothesline!
Garcia goes up, and the fans fire up as he rains down fists! Garcia only gets 5 as Ospreay slips under! Ospreay tucks Garcia in, for CHEEKY NANDOS! Garcia falls to the floor, Ospreay PLANCHAS to knock him down! The fans fire up with Ospreay but MJF coaches Garcia more. Ospreay and MJF then lock eyes and the ref says to back up. MJF steps aside, Ospreay drags Garcia up and Ospreay puts Garcia in at 7 of 10. Garcia takes a shot at Ospreay, so Ospreay CLUBS Garcia on the apron as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ospreay storms into the ring, stalks Garcia as he crawls, and then stomps Garcia around. Garcia goes to ropes, Ospreay brings him up to scoop and SLAM! Ospreay drops a knee on Garcia’s head! Ospreay paces around, brings Garcia up but Garcia pushes Ospreay away. So Ospreay BOOTS Garcia! Ospreay has Garcia in a corner, fires body shots, and then CHOPS!

Garcia falls back and MJF is a bit frustrated for him. Ospreay scoops Garcia for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ospreay drags Garcia up to ROCK him with a forearm! Ospreay brings Garcia around, wrenches an arm, and CHOPS Garcia down! Ospreay stands Garcia back up, to CHOP him back down! Garcia shakes his head and MJF coaches him up. Beach Break returns to single picture as Ospreay brings Garcia up again. Ospreay CHOPS, Garcia wobbles, and Ospreay CHOPS again! MJF rallies the fans but Ospreay CHOPS Garcia down! Garcia reaches out as he sits up, and Ospreay eggs him on. Garcia stands, into another CHOP!
MJF is frustrated but he gets the fans fired up. Garcia storms up on Ospreay, but Ospreay CHOPS him back down! Garcia shakes his head and rises up, but Ospreay CHOPS him in the corner!

The fans fire up and Garcia hurries to TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT again! Cover, TWO!! The fans rally behind “DANNY! DANNY!” and MJF nods.

The fans fire up and then Garcia DECKS Ospreay! MJF likes that and Garcia gives more dance! Then a SAIDO! Ospreay staggers up, Garcia runs in, but into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!!

Garcia stands, into the HOOK KICK! Ospreay kicks low, underhooks, but Garcia powers up! Garcia Alabama Lifts Ospreay, for a CRUNCHY!! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives, MJF is frustrated but the fans fire up again, and both men rise up. Garcia reels Ospreay in but now Ospreay back drops! Garcia sunset flips but Ospreay sits on it, TWO!

Garcia turns around, into a HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
MJF is beside himself! Did he just cost Garcia with that distraction? Garcia is certainly frustrated in himself now, but Ospreay goes to him and shows him respect. Ospreay wants Garcia not to be so harsh on himself, and even the fans are cheering for “Both These Guys! Both These Guys!” Ospreay encourages Garcia that he has what it takes, he’ll get there some day. Ospreay leaves as MJF steps into the ring, and now MJF sits with Garcia. MJF says he takes the blame on this one. Garcia busted his ass, and the people still love him! The fans cheer in confirmation. MJF helps Garcia stand up, and MJF raises Garcia’s hand.
The fans cheer and MJF says Garcia will be champion. They hug it out, and then MJF LOW BLOWS Garcia!! The fans boo but we all should’ve known better. And then MJF puts the diamond ring on his finger?! Matt Menard hurries out there but MJF DECKS him! MJF SPITS on Garcia, then tells him to get up! Garcia rises, staggers around, and MJF DIAMOND RING DECKS Garcia!! A tiger can’t change his stripes, and a Scumbag is always a Scumbag. MJF tells the fans to shut up, but then we see Garcia is busted open! MJF stands on Garcia’s neck, but security hurries out here. MJF CLOBBERS every single one of them!
MJF then rains down fists on Garcia’s bloody forehead! MJF asks if he restored the feeling now! This is YOUR boy, AEW! And MJF punches away on that bloody forehead again! Red Death has a crimson mask, but MJF has a dark heart. MJF drags Garcia up, but he’s ragdoll, so MJF pushes him to a corner. MJF puts Garcia up top, climbs up after him, and he drags Garcia onto his shoulder. Christopher Daniels rushes out here to tell MJF to stop this, but MJF still SUPER TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVERS!!! Daniels asks why! What does MJF even think this will do!? Refs and medics hurry out here, but MJF shoves them all aside!
MJF rains down fists, but here comes Ospreay!! Ospreay is pissed that MJF would sully this otherwise great night, and then MJF runs away! The Wolf of Wrestling is more like a snake crossed with a weasel, and he even gets in the face of some fans! He throws garbage around, talks more trash with more fans, then storms to the backstage area. As for Garcia, medics have brought a neck brace, backboard and stretcher for him. Ospreay wants after MJF but Daniels says to let management handle this. Garcia is loaded to the stretcher, and wheeled away from ringside. Will Garcia ever be alright again?
My Thoughts:
This was a great Dynamite as both the follow-up to Forbidden Door but also as the Beach Break special that also ties into Shark Week for HBO Discovery. Though, they didn’t do that much shark related stuff, other than fans getting to have foam shark fin hats. I kinda wish there was at least one thing, though I suppose MJF being out for blood counts… After a really good promo of MJF saying he’ll be Garcia’s guy, and another really good promo of Ospreay being set free from the Don Callis Family, we got a PPV level title match in our main event. This was perhaps Garcia’s best match in his career so far, but still a great win for Ospreay.
MJF going back to being a Heel so soon after returning was part of the surprise, but he sure committed. He bloodied Garcia, he bloodied Menard, he kayfabe hospitalized Garcia, and now he’s got Ospreay after him. It clearly sets up Ospreay VS MJF for the International Championship at All In, so the next month and a half is gonna be them building that. And there’s a chance the Don Callis Family adds on because Callis himself said Ospreay will owe him now. Fletcher didn’t like the sound of any of that, and the favor might be giving Fletcher or someone in the Don Callis Family a shot at the International title first.
Great stuff in the ongoing story between Jericho and Hook, with Jericho of course having to pull something underhanded. Taz is banned from the building because Jericho, Bill & Keith were of course attacking. The Six Man Tag was great stuff, but it was a bit of a shame The Cage of Agony had to take the loss to put Joe, Hook & Shibata over. Jericho’s team beating down Hook’s team, then trying to burn Hook quite literally is some big stuff, but naturally this is to make the FTW Championship rematch of Hook VS Jericho even bigger and wilder than before. They might even be able to have this on the same night as Blood & Guts.
Speaking of, instead of announcing Team AEW all at once, it seems like the members are gonna volunteer themselves. Granted, I do like that, it feeds into the idea that not everyone is willing to risk their jobs standing up to their bosses. But Mark Briscoe is great, he’ll be a fun part of that match. The Elite going after him, bringing out Kyle O’Reilly and The Acclaimed, I feel like we might’ve just seen Team AEW in full. O’Reilly, Briscoe, Caster, Bowens & Daddy Ass, all to add some heat to all the different title matches. Acclaimed VS Bucks, Billy VS Okada and possibly Briscoe VS Jack Perry, that all feels like big stuff for All In.
Great stuff in the various Owen Hart Cup stories. Great promo from Willow to lead into her match with Kris, and I was surprised that Willow won here after winning the tag match at Forbidden Door. At the same time, the better story is perhaps Willow going for the Cup once again. Good promo from Storm to hype Mariah up, and Mariah’s match with Shida will be big. If Mariah wins against Shida, she’ll certainly win the whole thing, because they’re gonna go through with Mariah VS Storm, student VS teacher. And then Bryan VS Pac was a badass opening match, and I figured Bryan would win out, beat up as he is.
Now, Hangman was of course being the Wild Card given we also got a teaser vignette last week. Hangman VS Jarrett was great stuff, one of Jarrett’s better singles matches since being in AEW, and you really do feel for the guy, but Hangman was of course winning. At the same time, Hangman gets some real heat on him for going as far as he did, and yet he also refuses to be part of The Elite after The Elite tried to ditch him. Hangman is definitely the favorite in winning the Owen Hart Cup because that would mean he faces Swerve Strickland one more time. All In Wembley is being treated as THE top AEW PPV now, why not have one of the most vicious feuds in AEW history so far?
And then, a great promo segment from Britt Baker that also segued right into Mercedes Mone’s scheduled segment. Britt dealing with TIAs, that is some rough stuff, I really feel for her. Rather wild that she and Serena Deeb had that parallel of medical conditions taking them out. Now, Britt is of course the Face in this story, but that works for what I was expecting. Mone is better as a Heel, has been riding that line since showing up in AEW anyway, and her gimmick of CEO works with The Bucks being corrupt EVPs. In fact, The Bucks welcoming Mone, why not just make her the first female member of The Elite and make that group even more golden and star-studded?

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?

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?

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

Ricochet hides, Davis deadlifts Jack, COUNT TO PAIN!! Cover, DAVIS WINS!
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
