PLAY BY PLAY
MJF is here!
The fans in Greenville, South Carolina are torn as the AEW American Champion makes his way out, showing off the newly redesigned title belt, as well as a patriotic blazer. He goes to the ring, mic in hand, and has them cut his music. The fans chant “M J F! M J F!” and he says in a rather cliche accent, “Now Ah know you people down South ain’t too bright, heeyuck, heeyuck. But when the holder of the most important title in the world is talking about USA, he damn sure ain’t talking about the trailer park trash capital of the world known as South Carolina. So you simpleminded folks do yourselves a favor, and keep your meth addicted mouths shut.”
The fans boo but MJF says he will be busy talking to “real America” in the camera, thanks. The fans start booing and he says he just told them, shut your mouths! No class here. But you are looking at the man who singlehandedly defeated with ease “that Redcoat terrorist,” Will Ospreay, and brought gold back home to our great nation. The same man who will be a one man militia as he walks into enemy territory on Sunday, August 25th, All In Wembley, and he will beat Ospreay again. The fans boo more, but MJF says allow him to ask you people, “for once in your miserable, worthless lives, show some respect, have some decorum, and please rise for your American Hero.”
The fans are torn as MJF holds up the belt, but here comes Ospreay! MJF is afraid as The Aerial Assassin runs up, and then MJF slips out of the ring to run away! Ospreay gets a mic to tell MJF, “You better do yourself a favor, mate, and keep running. Because after what you said about my family last week, bruv, I’m gonna put you through pain you can’t even imagine, bruv! You’re running around with that ‘American Championship.’ Last time I checked, I’m in the United States of America. And I know one thing about Yanks, mate. They love that flag the same way I love my own country’s flag. But yet, not a single one of these people acknowledge that championship!
“Y’know why? Because some pr*ck like you is holding it! But the main reason, Max, the main reason that no one is acknowledging that championship is cuz what you done last week, when you took the International Championship, and you threw it in the trash like it was a piece of garbage! Lemme tell you something, Max. Men have worked hard to make that championship have legacy and lineage. Men like Pac, Orange Cassidy, Jon Moxley, Rey Fenix, Roderick Strong and myself! All of us have no problem week in, week out, performing like our lives are on the line for all of these people!
“You, Max, you do not fit that criteria! Max, it isn’t that the International Championship isn’t worth anything to MJF. Nah, son. You aren’t worthy of holding th eInternaitoinal Championship!” The fans cheer that! They also cahnt “U S A! U S A!” But Ospreay gets it, home pride. But when it’s someone like that representing them, he doesn’t represent about the American spirit! The American work ethic! When MJF comes to Wembley Stadium, Ospreay will restore honor to the International Championship! MJF says the people like Ospreay, huh? Then they’re disgusting turncoats, that’s what!
Let MJF explain something to Ospreay. MJF is an American Hero! He is not gonna stand smack like Ospreay, he lets his actions do the talking. Ospreay says get in here then. MJF says he’ll annihilate Ospreay in front of all his “crooked teeth countrymen.” But tonight, MJF has a feeling after what happens to Ospreay, Ospreay won’t make it to All In, bruv. Because tonight, in this crap hole of South Carolina, #EverybodyDies. And with that, The Murderhawk Monster arrives! Will Lance Archer destroy the #BillyGOAT to then usurp his spot at All In?
Will Ospreay VS Lance Archer!
The bell rings and Archer pie faces Ospreay. Ospreay comes back but into a CHOKE SLAM! Archer throws his jacket aside and looms over Ospreay. Archer drags Ospreay up, bumps him off buckles, and then runs corner to corner to ELBOW Ospreay! Archer keeps going, and he ELBOWS Ospreay again! And then again! Ospreay staggers and falls, and Archer paces around. Archer eggs Ospreay on as Ospreay slowly stands. The fans rally behind Ospreay and he fires a forearm! Archer DECKS Ospreay with just one! Ospreay flounders to ropes, comes back, and he ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring! NEURALIZER KICK!
Archer tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Ospreay builds speed! Ospreay handsprings to SASUKE- NO, Archer catches him! But Ospreay fires hands! Ospreay whips, Archer blocks and reels Ospreay in, to SLAM him on the floor! Archer refreshes the ring count, stalks him, and says time to even the score. Archer mocks the fans cheering Ospreay, sot hey boo him. Archer goes back to Ospreay, brings him up, and lifts him right up, only for Ospreay to RANA him into railing! The fans fire up while both men are down! Ospreay grits his teeth while the ring count is climbing, and he slowly crawls towards the ring.
Archer stalks Ospreay and then SHOVES him into barriers! Archer leaves Ospreay behind at 8 of 10, but Ospreay is up top fast! COAST2COAST! Cover, ONE!! Ospreay storms over to a corner, the fans are thunderous, and Ospreay springboards, into Archer’s grip! Archer SUPER CHOKE SLAMS Ospreay! Ospreay tumbles away, Archer reminds us #EverybodyDies, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Archer storms his way over to Ospreay and stands on his neck! The ref counts, Archer lets off at 4 to get in the ref’s face, but Ospreay bails out. Archer goes out to drag Ospreay back around, and he puts him against barriers to CHOP! The fans fire up, Archer refreshes the ring count, and fans check on Ospreay. Ospreay nods to say he’s fine, but Archer comes back. Archer eggs Ospreay on, and Ospreay CHOPS, but Archer doesn’t budge! Ospreay CHOPS again, but that’s still not enough. Archer smacks him off barriers, then rains down fists! Archer CLUBS Ospreay, then he SMACKS Ospreay off steel steps!
Archer leaves Ospreay behind to get in the ring. Ospreay drags himself in, but Archer drags him up again. Archer short arm LARIATS Ospreay down! Archer CLAWS Ospreay’s face, the ref counts, and Archer lest off, to then chinbar. Ospreay endures, fights up, and he throws body shots! Ospreay runs, but gets RUN over! Archer snarls and paces while Ospreay clutches his neck. Archer soaks up the cheers and jeers from Greenville before he ROCKS Ospreay with a right. Ospreay goes to a corner, but Archer stomps him! Archer digs his boot in, but lets off as the ref counts. Archer stands on Ospreay’s hand, and Dynamite returns to single picture.
Archer taunts Ospreay, brings him up, but Ospreay fires body shots. Archer CLUBS Ospreay again, then choke grips! CHOKE- NO, Ospreay flips through and ROUNDHOUSES! Ospreay SWATS a haymaker to HOOK KICK! Ospreay springboards, but into Archer’s HELLICOASTER! Cover, TWO! Ospreay survives but Archer stands over him. The fans rally for “Ospreay~ Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” Archer whips to POP-UP SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO!! Ospreay survives again and reaches out, but Archer seethes. Archer aims from a corner, Ospreay rises up, and Archer runs in, into a SUPERKICK! Archer roars, but runs into a SPANISH FLY!!
The fans are thunderous while Ospreay and Archer are down. Archer goes to a corner, and Ospreay fires up! The fans are with Ospreay as he runs up, blocks a boot, but Archer makes it a STOMP! Archer snarls as he stands on Ospreay’s chest. Archer knuckle locks Ospreay and goes up the corner. Archer stands on the very top, but Ospreay trips him up! Archer is stuck up top, and Ospreay positions him just right. Ospreay climbs up, but Archer choke grips again! And then he goes to the very top!? SUPER DUPER SPANISH FLY!! Cover off the counter, TWO!!! Ospreay just goes to springboard, OSCUTTER!! Cover, TWO!!!
The fans are stunned that Archer survives, but Ospreay just loads up another shot! HIDDEN- LARIAT!! Archer hits first, covers, TWO!!! Ospreay barely gets the arm up and Archer is beside himself! The fans rally with “BRUV! BRUV! BRUV!” as Ospreay rises again. Archer runs up, but into a BOOT! Ospreay goes up, Archer STEP-UP KNEES! Ospreay checks his mouth, but Archer brings him out! BLACKOUT- TORNADO DDT!! Ospreay turns things around, runs up, FLYING HIDDEN BLADE!! Cover, ONE?!?! Archer’s rage helps him survive, and he flips Ospreay off! So Ospreay reloads and HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall
Archer tried to avenge his loss last year at Dominion, but Ospreay just makes history repeat itself. But then MJF CLOBBERS Ospreay from behind!! The fans boo as the Wolf of Wrestling continues to be a weasel! He reels Ospreay in to suplex and BRAINBUSTER!! The fans boo even harder as MJF paces around, having ripped his patriotic blazer open. But now, he puts on the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Ospreay rises, but KYLE FLETCHE is here! The Aussie Arrow fires off hands, then MJF runs away! Kyle tells Max to keep on running! Don Callis is here, too, but MJF looks for a mic! MJF gets said mic while Callis & Kyle go to Ospreay’s side.
Kyle gets a mic to tell Callis that hey, he knows they said no more helping Ospreay with his business, because that’s no longer “Family business,” but dammit, that is Kyle’s best friend! Family or not, that might as well be Kyle’s brother! Ospreay is laying in a heap because of that narcissistic, self-centered A-HOLE! Kyle will not let MJF terrorize this company, hurt whoever he wants with zero repercussions! So Max, allow him to reintroduce himself: Kyle is MJF’s karma coming to bite him in the ass! Kyle heard every single word MJF had to say about America first and all that. But Kyle knows, and the people know, MJF doesn’t care about America!
All MJF ever cares about is what is best for MJF. And secondly, Kyle heard everything MJF had to say about foreign wrestlers like Ospreay and Kyle. Now, Kyle may’ve been born in Australia, but when he was eight years old, wrestling pillows in the living room, Kyle dreamt of one day coming to America, because America is where the best wrestle! And now this country has given Kyle his dream girl, his dream house, his dream car, his dream life, and he will be forever grateful! Kyle may not be a politician, but he speaks for Australia, the UK, and especially everyone here tonight when he says we’re sick of the same old MJF BULL CRAP!!
So MJF, get your ass down here so Kyle can punch him out! MJF says if Kyle wants him right now, then okay! MJF throws off the blazer, the shirt, and even the watch! But then he says, “No.” The fans boo but Kyle says he knew this would be the case. MJF says “You don’t call the shots around here, Wannabe Will Ospreay, I do. Nobody punches an American Hero in the face and gets away with it! So you want a match? You’re gonna get one on my time. Me VS you, Dynamite next week, you’re on! But… If you thought Wembley last year was bad, ‘Koyle Fletcha,’ you got another thing coming. I’m gonna kangaroo kick your gaddamn face off, boy!”
And then, MJF will make sure Kyle suffers the same sad fate Daniel Garcia did. MJF will break Kyle’s neck, and leave him in a pool of his own blood! And the only man to blame will be Kyle’s buddy, Will Ospreay. MJF can’t wait to see the look on Ospreay’s face when he’s done dismantling his boy. And for that, you can thank MJF later. MJF holds up his title belt, but will The Protostar force feed MJF a slice of humble pie?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho, “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.
Alex Marvez is with The Learning Tree, The Redwood & The Bad Apple and brings up Jericho’s huge win last week against Minoru Suzuki. But also, what’s the cake for? Bill says that the famous saying goes, “When the fruits of your labor are bountiful, thou must enjoy.” So they got Jericho a cake to celebrate 102 days as “For The World” Champion! What an accomplishment. Over 100 days, that’s something. But 102, now that’s next level. Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! Imagine that, Marvez. 102 as the For The World Champion. The longest running For The World Champion in the history of the business.
“Also, did you know, Marvez? There’s never been a cake in wrestling that didn’t end up smashed in someone’s face. But that’s not gonna happen tonight. Because the only face that’s gonna get smashed is yours, Shibata! For showing your face after I beat the Murder Grandpa, Suzuki, after he broke my finger! You’re all alone, Shibata. There’s no more Samoa Joe. We haven’t seen Hook since we threw a fireball in his face, hahaha. So even though I can’t take you out, Shibata, the Bad Apple will.”
Bryan Keith says that’s right! Shibata needs to mind his own damn business. Next week on Dynamite, Keith IS Shibata’s business. Thanks, guys! Bill hands Marvez the cake, and then Keith spooks him. Respect Chris Jericho and eat the cake. Marvez takes a taste, and it’s not bad. A historic moment in wrestling: the cake survives. But will Shibata look to make some history by crushing the Bad Apple and then tearing down poisonous tree it fell from?
CMLL Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Willow Nightingale VS Kris Statlander w/ Stokely Hathaway!
When The Babe with The Power went down to Mexico and won this title in a Triple Threat, she instantly proved the Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor and her pint-sized sidekick wrong: she CAN accomplish greatness without them! But now, they want to ruin things for her all over again. Will Willow end up owing Kris a title match? Or can she cross Kris off the list?
Kris and Stokely wait on the outside as Willow makes her entrance. Stokely stokes the flames by saying Kris never needed Willow. Willow tells Kris to get in the ring, but Kris eggs Willow on.

Cover, TWO and Willow ghost pins! TWO! and Kris stands to BOOT Willow down!
Kris CLUBS Willow again and again, then paces. Kris drags Willow up by her hair, puts her in ropes, and CHOKES her! Kris smiles before she thrashes around! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Stoke cheers Kris on. Kris brings Willow up but Willow fires elbows. Willow runs, but Kris ELBOWS her down! Kris rains down furious fists, then clamps on with a chinlock. Willow endures, but Kris leans on the hold. Willow fights up, but Kris CLUBS away on her again! Then she snap suplexes Willow down!

She DECKS another, then TACKLES the third! Stokely says no, leave them be. Save this energy for Willow. The fans boo, but when and where will Kris come looking to take the title from Willow?
Bryan Danielson is here!
Greenville says “YES! YES! YES!” as The American Dragon makes his way to the ring. Bryan gets the mic, smiles as he enjoys the “YES!” chants, and then says, “It is great to be in Greenville!” The fans cheer that! Bryan says usually, people say that just for a cheap pop like that, but he and his wife actually took their engagement pictures right here in Greenville. Downtown Greenville is beautiful, he loves it here. The fans chant for “BRIE! BRIE! BRIE!”
Bryan says it is funny, because he and Brie were just looking through those pictures. And well, that made Bryan realize it is true what they say. “You don’t realize it’s the good ol’ days, until they’re almost gone.” Fans now chant “NO! NO! NO!” because they sense what’s coming. Bryan says that tonight, he is here to talk about two things: presence and promises. Bryan has been very lucky in his career. He was forced into retirement, had it all taken away from him, but since coming back, he’s been able to be present. That saying about good old days, he was able to know, able to be present in these “good old days!”
The last three years of being in AEW, Bryan has had an incredible time, and it’s been the most fun time of his career. Before coming out here, Bryan was able to be present behind the curtain. When he came out here and the fans chanted “YES!” Bryan was able to be present. The fans cheer again, and Bryan says look at the goosebumps. The fans chant “Thank You, Bryan!” and Bryan gets a little choked up. He says there are just some moments he’ll never understand, but he thanks them for that. And for this moment, he was also able to be present.
But now, to promises. Bryan promised his daughter that when she turned seven, he would stop wrestling full-time. He promised his family that his contract with AEW would be the last wrestling contract he ever signed, and said contract ends… tomorrow. The fans can’t believe it, but Bryan says he promised himself that every time he stepped foot in this ring, he’d give every single thing that he has. For the fans because they deserve it, and for himself because he deserves it. The fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Bryan says when he came to AEW, he said he’d do two things: kick poeple’s heads in, and win the AEW World Champoinship.
Now, over the last three years, he’s kicked a lot of heads in. But he has not won the AEW World Championship. Yet. The fans like the sound of that! Bryan says this is probably going to be his last shot. No, it will be. Because going into AEW’s biggest show of the year, Wembley Stadium, All In, there are doctors telling Bryan that he shouldn’t. His family doesn’t want him to wrestle. But here is Bryan’s promise: he will go to Wembley; he will be present for that moment; he will give us every single thing that he has; he will give us 100% where 101% is not possible!
Bryan promises that at All In, with his body, mind and soul, he will go all in! And to ensure he keeps that promise- WAIT. Prince Nana makes his way out here, and here comes Swerve Strickland! The Realest AEW World Champion makes his way down to the ring, Nana doing his dance and Greenville joining in. Swerve steps in the ring, grabs himself a mic, and he looks at Bryan. Nana and the fans chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes the “YES! YES! YES!” Swerve says he’ll keep it real: he respects the hell outta Bryan.
Sweve respects the fact that Bryan inspired an entire generation of young wrestlers to go out there and chase their dreams, Swerve included. And if this was any other time, Swerve would be rooting for Bryan, cheering him on to go All In, win the title and have his moment. But this is Swerve’s time. When Swerve came to AEW, he said he would win the world title, and he did. Bryan is one of the greatest in this generation, but Swerve is one of a kind. Hell, Swerve is so ahead of his time, people 10 years from now will wanna sit back and press rewind.
Bryan came in, said he’d win the world title, kick everybody’s head in. Guess he couldn’t handle it when they started kicking back, huh? Swerve grins and Bryan manages a smirk. Swerve says he’ll let Bryan know right now: This is not an achievement award; this is not something you get after 25 years of service. No, this world title is something that shows you and shows everyone in the world that beyond the shadow of a doubt, you are the best in the world. And Swerve IS The Best in the World! Bryan challenged Ospreay, had a classic, but he lost! Hell, he got hurt! But when Ospreay challenged Swerve, Swerve won.
Bryan took on The Elite in Anarch in the Arena, and Bryan lost. Swerve led Team AEW in Blood & Guts and he won. Hell, Swerve was at last year’s All In performing in front 80,000+ while Bryan was too broken down to even get on a flight to London. The fans are torn again, but Swerve tells Bryan that maybe Bryan’s body can’t handle the pressure of being world champion. Bryan makes promises, he wants to “be in the moment.” So, let’s be in this moment, and Swerve will make a promise to Bryan. Swerve promises Bryan that Swerve is the most dangerous man in AEW.
And Swerve will also promise that Bryan will not be walking out of All In as champion. Hell, Bryan may never walk again. Swerve smirks, he and Nana go to leave, but Bryan tells Swerve, “I have one more promise.” Bryan promises that if he doesn’t win the AEW World Championship, he will never wrestle again. The fans are stunned to hear that, but Swerve chuckles. Bryan says it will be Title VS Career! What does Swerve say? Bryan offers the handshake, and Swerve takes it. The deal is struck, and then Swerve says, “That’s very noble of you, Bryan. But don’t keep that promise to me. Keep it with your family.”
Swerve leaves with that mic drop final line. Bryan is truly going all in by putting more than just his pride on the line. Will Bryan pull off this massive Wembley win? Or will Swerve be the last man to slay the American Dragon?
Backstage interview with Bryan Danielson.
Renee Paquette is there as Bryan returns through gorilla. Does he have any comment on the deal he just struck? But Jeff Jarrett is there, with Team Triple J, to say that is exactly what he was talking about! That is how you go all in! The American Dragon- Bryan slaps Jarrett’s hat away! Bryan says if Jarrett wants him to go all in, to see if he’s ready, then see for yourself. Bryan VS Jarrett, next week on Dynamite. Bryan leaves, and now Jay Lethal, Karen Jarrett & Sonjay Dutt are concerned. Is the Last Outlaw going to get burned for lighting the American Dragon’s fire?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS Roderick Strong, Rush & The Beast Mortos!
Mark Briscoe made it through Death Before Dishonor with his ROH World Championship, but his pals couldn’t capture the ROH World Tag Team Championships. However, he, Orange Cassidy & Tomohiro Ishii ride again in order to take on some common enemies! The Savior of the Backbreaker is joined by El Toro Blanco and the minotaur transformed, will the Sussex County Chicken, Freshly Squeezed & the Stone Pitbull survive? Or will the word of the day today be, “despair?”
The moment The Conglomeration steps in, the brawl is on! Rush is after Mark, Roddy is of course after Ishii, but Mortos waits for Cassidy. Roddy and Rush TOSS Ishii and Mark but the brawl continues on the outside! The bell rings as Cassidy and Mortos are left in the ring. Cassidy uses his denim jacket like a matador’s cape to egg Mortos on! Mortos runs in, OLE~ into the buckles! Mortos gets mad, runs up at Cassidy again, OLE~! Callis is on commentary, by the way, and hopes Mortos cuts Cassidy in two. Cassidy runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then tilt-o-whirls and DEJA VU RANAS! The fans fire up and Cassidy throws the shirt away, free souvenir!
The fans rally and Cassidy fixes his hair, but Mortos rises! Cassidy senses that, but Mortos shoves him and SPEARS him down! Cassidy tumbles out, Ishii storms in! Mortos BOOTS Ishii, but Ishii stays up! Ishii fires a forearm, but Mortos ROCKS Ishii in return! Mortos suplexes, but Ishii stops that to suplex back! Mortos fights that to suplex Ishii! They fight again, Ishii wrenches and dodges, but runs into a BELLY2BELLY! Ishii rises!? And he CLOBBERS Mortos! Mortos is up and SUPERKICKS! Ishii forearms, Morots HEADBUTTS! Mortos roars, winds up, but swings into a spin and suplex! BRAINBUSTER!
The fans fire up, and here comes Rush! Rush steps to Ishii, they each grab the other by the neck. They push each other, then run up to RAM! Ishii runs to RAM Rush! Rush doesn’t budge so Ishii runs again. By the way, we can see in the background, Mortos whip Cassidy hard into railing! Roddy also brawls with Mark while Ishii RAMS Rush. Ishii runs again, Rush dodges, but then Ishii dodges, and he CLOBBERS Rush! Rush gets up to kick, snapmare and KICKS again! Ishii just stands up to get in Rush’s face! The forearms go back and forth, again and again! Rush CHOPS! And CHOPS! Ishii just fires boxing elbows in return!
Ishii runs, Rush follows but Ishii SWATS the lariat! Rush elbows back, then ROLLING ELBOWS! Ishii drops to his knees, but here comes Briscoe! The fans fire up as Chicken and Bull fire hands! Rush CHOPS, Mark CHOPS, repeat! The CHOPS go again and again, then Mark fires a forearm! Rush fires a body shot, a CHOP, and whips. Mark reverses, runs up and JUMP KICKS! Mark keeps moving, Rush follows to SPLASH! Rush tells off the fans, runs side to side, but Mark DECKS him! The fans fire up, Mark gets a chair, and he sets it up by the ropes. Cassidy and Ishii set everyone up, Mark runs, but Roddy runs in to DROPKICK!
Roddy puts the chair outside, the fans boo, but then Roddy goes for Mark. Mark UPPERCUTS Roddy, Roddy goes to the floor, and Mark gives him a BLOCKBUSTER to the floor! The fans fire up as Mark then uses the chair to CANNONBALL Rush & Mortos! The fans are fired up as Mark drags Rush up, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Mark sends Rush into railing, then CHOPS him! Ishii & Cassidy mug Mortos, put him in the ring, then stomp Roddy down. Cassidy whips Mortos into the corner, then runs corner to corner to forearm SMASH! Ishii adds a LARIAT! Mark adds a SPLASH! Then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cassidy goes up and he LAZY ELBOW DROPS! Cover, TWO! Mortos is tougher than that, but Roddy drags Mark out to send him into barriers! Ishii storms out there but Rush ROCKS him! Roddy gives Mark a BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Mortos fires hands on Cassidy, Rush CHOKES Ishii, and Roddy tags in. Roddy DECKS Cassidy, then hauls him up for a BACKBREAKER!
Roddy calls to Rush, tags him in, and they drag Cassidy up. They mug Cassidy, then Rush puts him in a corner. Rush whips corner to corner, runs in, and fakes him out to SLAP him down! Rush then puts Cassidy in the corner, soaks up the heat, and runs corner to corner, to fake Cassidy out again for a BOOT! Rush rolls back to tranquilo! Rush taunts the fans and then stands on Cassidy for a cover. TWO, but Rush taunts Mark now. The ref has to keep Mark back, and Rush drags Cassidy over.

The Acclaimed speaks.
Billy Gunn tells everyone to get ready. That means load the family up, truck, bus, car, bike, tricycle, it doesn’t matter! Strap in your seatbelts, because Caster, Bowens & Daddy Ass are comin’ to Collision! Platinum Max says that’s right! Right now, they’re live from the Mid-Atlantic! The Best Wrestler Alive, The Acclaimed, and they are looking for FTR in their own home territory, and they’re nowhere to be found! Where are they? Are they afraid of the Blood & Guts MVP? Are they scared to be face to face with the Best Wrestler Alive? Is FTR scared of The Acclaimed? Well, don’t worry, Everyone Loves The Acclaimed.
And The Acclaimed loves the Carolinas! It’s quaint. The people are simple here. The Southern hospitality is great. But Caster wants to be welcomed by the Top Guys, Cash & Dax, those guys who said Caster isn’t serious because he raps and makes music videos. Maybe Dax & Cash aren’t the serious ones, because they didn’t wanna show up tonight, in their own hometown, to get their asses whipped! Anthony Bowens says that’s right! FTR, you wanna bring up The Acclaimed to talk some trash and yet not show up to face them and man up to what they said? Fine. The Acclaimed will come to them.
The Scissor King, The Best Wrestler Alive, they will come find you Saturday on Collision! Will FTR still show up? Bowens knows Dallas, Texas will. Why? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! He and Daddy Ass scissor finger, and then Bowens says nut up or shut up! Will Cash & Dax stand up after being called out? Will Caster & Bowens look to take the Top Guys out?
Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with Mariah May.
But even before they get started, “The Glamour” says she already said her part last week. But go on, ask questions. Renee says we just want some more explanation for the heinous things she did to Toni Storm. Mariah says, “What more do I have to explain? Do you not watch the show? It’s all been very clear. From day one, I said I wanted to be just like Toni Storm. I gained her trust, her love, got closer to her than anybody else, and I sliced her open and wore her skin. What do you not understand?” Renee asks why Toni Storm. What’d she ever do to Mariah? Mariah says, “Nothing. And that’s why she was perfect.”
Mariah loved Toni Storm. She gave Mariah everything she ever wanted. Toni always said this business would eat you alive. So seems it was Mariah’s turn to eat. Renee asks that now with Toni Storm back- Mariah says she’s done answering questions. Renee says okay, and takes her leave. Mariah smiles, but will this evil genius have something even more wicked planned for Wembley?
Toni Storm storms out on stage!
“Mariah May! Mariah May! You said you loved me?! Well, I loved you, too!” Toni drops to her knees, sets her AEW Women’s World Championship down, and clutches to the white high heel shoe. Not the one Mariah used to bloody her, but its twin. “They say you should find what you love, and let it kill you. Well, at All In, it’s gonna be the romance of a bloody lifetime!!” She smacks herself with said heel, and beats her chest in rage! Will the Leading Lady put on the greatest performance of all time when she looks to end Mariah?
AEW shares footage from last week’s San Diego Comic-Con panel.
Right as Britt Baker was taking her turn to speak, Mercedes Mone and Kamille, cosplaying Poison Ivy and Bane respectively, interrupted just so The CEO could pick a fight with The DMD. The other wrestlers of AEW, as well as Tony Khan, had to step in to stop this from getting physical, but it was clear what TK had to do. The TBS Championship will be on the line at All In, Mone VS Baker!
Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Brittany Jade!
Speaking of The CEO and her new insurance policy, it is time for The Brickhouse to make her AEW in-ring debut! Will Kamille prove she’s worth the investment?
The bell rings and Kamille RAMS Brittany into the corner! Kamille fires off on Brittany with forearm after forearm, then lets off just to stomp a mudhole in! The ref counts, Kamille lets off, and Mone smiles as Kamille scrapes Brittany’s face off the ropes! Kamille then goes up a corner, reels Brittany in, and lifts her by the head! Brittany kicks and flails, the ref counts, so Kamille hops down to THROW Brittany away! Brittany flounders up, into a GUILLOTINE LEG LARIAT! Mone smiles as Kamille then BOOTS Brittany down! And then Kamille reels Brittany in, Canadian Racks, and hits the DOMINATE-HER! Cover, Kamille wins!
Winner: Kamille, by pinfall
Mone smiles and joins Kamille in the ring, mic in hand. They both stand on this Britt and Mone says, “Greenviiiille~! Please say hello to your C E O.” Mone says please welcome the newest member of the Mone Corporation, Kamille. Kamille drags Brittany up just to throw her out! Mone says you can see why Kamille is the Brickhouse. For weeks, Mone has bene victimized by Britt Baker. The fans chant “D M D! D M D!” and that gets on Mone’s nerves. Mone has tried to turn the other cheek, has tried to be diplomatic, but Britt has taken things way too far with her constant harassment and attacks on Mone! It’s like Britt is obsessed!
But at the same time, who isn’t obsessed with The CEO? Now, Britt may’ve gotten her match for the TBS Championship at All In after that stunt she pulled at Comic-Con, but it also got her suspended for tonight by Mone’s EVPs~! So Mone is not worried because she has Kamille. Not even Britt can break this Brickhouse. So go ahead, Britt, complain to anyone who will listen about how you built this house with your blood, sweat and tears. No one cares! Because AEW is Mone’s house now! The fans boo but Mone says she’s going to turn the house into a mansion, because that’s how she rolls.
But don’t worry, Britt. Losing to Mone will still be the greatest thing that’s ever happened to Britt. Mone changes everything. The CEO struts alongside her new muscle, but will nothing stop Britt from becoming the Face of TBS?

Darby writhes, Hangman soaks up the heat, and then Hangman leaves Darby behind.
Dynamite goes picture in picture as the ref checks on Darby. Somehow, Darby is okay to continue, if only just. Hangman seethes even as he waits in the ring.

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall
Now Hangman’s pissed at the ref! The ref says the count was the count, it’s Hangman’s own fault for letting Darby stick around! Well, Hangman isn’t gonna let that happen now! Hangman looks under the ring, throws chair after chair into the ring, and then adds chairs from outside! Darby gets away to the ramp, and he flips Hangman off! Will Darby be truly relentless until he’s once again The Face of TNT?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Dynamite, though with some elements missing I thought we’d get. Darby Allin VS Hangman was an awesome main event, and yet not one appearance by Jack Perry. I thought the lights going out was the thing, but then maybe they screwed that up because Jack didn’t show up. That would’ve been a very House of Torture thing for Jack to do, though. But Darby wins out after taking all that damage, and gets away without anything else happening. We still have three weeks before All In, so we’ll have to wait and see how the go-home math sorts out. At the same time, if Darby’s going for the world title at Grand Slam, maybe he doesn’t win the TNT Championship. Or he does win the TNT Championship, and then he makes it Winner Takes All in New York.
And with that, it almost has to be Swerve meeting Darby in New York. Great promo segment from Bryan and Swerve, and I suppose they’re just cutting to the chase. Bryan’s on his last year as a full-time wrestler, so why go past All In if he’s not meant to win? And I do like that he is making Jeff Jarrett practice what he preached last week, they’ll have a really good match next week to give Bryan some momentum going into All In. Swerve probably has a tune-up match of his own soon, which I’m sure he’ll win, too.
Another element I’m surprised was missing was Pac. We got a name drop for Pac but maybe he’ll have a promo for Collision to establish what he wants to do about being number one contender yet having to watch Ospreay and MJF fight things out. MJF and Ospreay had a really good promo segment, but getting the fans to play along with “The American guy is the jerk here” was not going 100% the way they wanted. Even so, great segue into Ospreay VS Archer, awesome match from them, and great win for Ospreay. MJF of course attacked after, but I really liked Kyle Fletcher running out there to make the save. As I’ve been hoping, it feels like Kyle is going to go against Callis’ wishes and stick by Ospreay’s side, meaning Kyle will leave the Don Callis Family.
Kris VS Willow was a great match, and I figured Kris would win with cheating. Now she and Willow will have the title match, maybe part of the All In Zero Hour, maybe on the go-home episode in London. That probably goes Willow’s way so that she can finish things with Kris & Stoke once and for all. Good squash win for Kamille, her and Mone showing up as Bane & Poison Ivy (respectively) to Comic-Con was a deep cut in Batman movie references. But great promo from Mone being the typical hypocritical Heel, and of course we’re getting Britt VS Mone now. I wonder if The EVPs will again help Mone by giving her some kind of advantage, or scheduling Britt for a match with Kamille and other powerhouses to try and soften her up.
Speaking of The Bucks, a little surprised we didn’t get them anywhere tonight, either. But Acclaimed had a really good promo to call out FTR, that’ll be a good confrontation on Saturday. But with all this talk of Caster being the Best Wrestler Alive and not The Acclaimed being the Best Wrestlers Alive, I wonder if there’s some kind of break-up slowly being cultivated. If The Acclaimed lose out on the tag titles, that could be the breaking point. But of course we got a promo from Jericho. But I do like that they exaggerated how great it is to reach 102 days, and how they really did break the streak of cake going into someone’s face. But Keith is of course losing to Shibata to set up Shibata VS Jericho, which will be an awesome match.
Great Six Man Tag of Conglomeration VS Roddy, Rush & Mortos. I didn’t think The Conglomeration would lose, but seeing as how Mortos was involved and he’s been going so strong, it makes sense. Mortos teaming with The Kingdom on Saturday is interesting, too, and that 8 Man Tag will be great stuff. I am sure Callis will try to recruit Mortos, given they need a powerhouse with Hobbs still hurt, and will need someone else while Trent is also recovering from injury. I just don’t think Mortos will agree since he’s a wild monster kind of character. I still don’t know why AEW gave up on LFI, I feel like joining Callis could’ve helped Preston Vance.
And of course, great promos from Mariah and Toni. Mariah has shifted into this emotionless sociopath rather well, and everyone loves it when Toni goes wild. Given all the emotion and brutality both women have put into this story, that match has the potential to steal the show, which is saying something given the rest of the card so far.

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-
NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE!

Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!
Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?
Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up!

Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref.

Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under.

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!

Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
