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.

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.
My Score: 8.8/10

It’s the Double or Nothing Buy-In!
Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Phoenix, Arizona!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

Backstage interview with The Sons of Texas.
Alex Marvez is with Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes, and he’s ready to rep the #DayOneGuys. Marvez notes Sammy was part of that very first Double or Nothing in 2019. Safe to say, things have changed? Yes, that is true. Sammy is a husband and dad! He has a legendary tag partner, and he even has new merchandise! But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?
Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold! This is the Natural, Dustin Rhodes, a living legend! The Spanish God, Sammy Guevara! They are the UNDEFEATED ROH World Tag Team Champions! Do they have a chance? Yes, they do! On any given Sunday, anything can happen, so watch out!
You wanna hurt ’em? Bring the best you got, because it just won’t be enough! Dustin & Sammy want more, but will that ambition be their downfall? Or will they be the ones that hurt people?

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)
Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?
Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.
Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.
Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…
That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.
Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.
Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.
This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.
And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.
My Score: 9.3/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes out the TNT Champion, Adam Cole! The fans in Albuquerque fire up as Cole makes his way to the ring. They join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole then joins commentary, and Schiavone brings out the guests for this contract signing. First of all, alongside Stokely Hathaway, it is FTR! The fans boo as #BigStoke and his #TopGuys walk to the ring. They sarcastically pat Schiavone on the back and he asks for some decorum. Now to FTR’s opponents! First of all, Daniel Garcia! The fans cheer as Red Death makes his way out here, Daddy Magic by his side. They join everyone in the ring, and Garcia shakes Schiavone’s hand.
Schiavone notes Menard here with Garcia. Garcia’s partner for Sunday is one of the most decorated ROH wrestlers ever, THE Nigel McGuinness! The fans cheer as Nigel makes his way out, throws up deuces, and he joins the rest in the ring. Schiavone has the contract for the sanctioned tag team match. Stokely takes the contract while Cash Wheeler takes the mic. “Out of the kindness of our hearts, we asked you two out here, face to face, to give you one more chance to reconsider!” Cash hushes the fans, and he says no matter how much Garcia has hurt FTR, how much Garcia has stabbed them in the back, FTR still see Garcia as a son.
Is Garcia throwing all of that away for nobodies like Daddy Magic? And Nigel, you get paid to talk now, but it’ll pay to shut your mouth and listen! He doesn’t understand how much trouble he’s talked his way into! Cash tells the fans HE is talking! Nigel hides behind commentary and makes jokes, claim he’s retired, then physically interject himself into FTR’s business?! This Sunday, there is no desk to hide behind! There is no magic trick to save his ass! It is Nigel, a shell of his former self, against the greatest tag team of all time! Is Nigel sure he wants this? FTR finishes signing their part, and then they pass the contract back to Schiavone.
Schiavone hands the contract to Garcia, and Garcia also gets the mic. Garcia says he was having trouble hearing Cash there. The fans cheer Garcia, and Garcia says he does still care for FTR. That is not something that just goes away. But he has to look at them now and see they are selfish, narcissistic sociopaths! They say Garcia turned on them, but no, they turned on him. FTR turned their backs on everyone who has ever cared about them! They have crossed too many lines to count, and now Garcia stands up for himself. But not just for himself, but for Schiavone, for Daddy Magic, for Adam Copeland and his family, and for everybody here that has had enough of FTR!
The fans cheer and Garcia says FTR is right about one thing: They are the greatest tag team that wrestling has ever seen. But this Sunday, it won’t be a wrestling match. It’ll be a fight! Garcia is coming to fight! Nigel, Garcia knows you’re worried, you have that little voice of doubt. But the thing is, no matter what FTR says, no matter how Nigel feels, Garcia sees Nigel walking those halls. Garcia sees that look in his eyes. It was the look Nigel had when he was wrestling Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, and being one of the GREATEST ROH Champions of all time! The fans cheer and Dax wants everyone to calm down.
Garcia says no matter what FTR says or how Nigel feels, Garcia and the fans all know, you still got it! The fans cheer that, “You Still Got It!” Garcia tells Nigel that if he’s not getting the Nigel we all know, then don’t bother signing the contract. Garcia signs his part, and Nigel speaks. Whether he still has it or not, we find out at Double or Nothing. But before Nigel signs, he needs FTR’s word, whatever that’s worth these days, that after Sunday, win, lose or draw… FTR does NOT touch Schiavone or Nigel ever again! You do not even TALK to them ever again! In fact, don’t even LOOK their way ever again! Because if they do, Nigel promises them, it’ll be Top Guys Out for good!
The fans cheer, FTR seems to accept that, and Nigel holds the contract. But Dax still has to talk… The fans boo, and Dax says hey, hold on. Before they all wrap this up, he wants to tell Nigel to look him in the eyes. Dax has to know. He has to know this is what Nigel wants. This isn’t 2009, when it was all about Nigel. It is 2025 and Nigel has a beautiful family he has to think about. Dax knows the business has beat Nigel up through the years. But if Nigel wants FTR to finish the job, then sign the contract. But if Nigel signs it, it is his blood on his own hands. If Nigel signs, what happens at Double or Nothing is not on FTR.
Or, Nigel can turn around, leave the ring, walk back to commentary “where you belong,” and they can just forget about all this. They’ll put it behind them. And then maybe, all of them can even be friends again. Dax pats Nigel on the cheek, and Nigel grabs the mic. “I’m only gonna ask you this once: Don’t put your hands on me again.” Dax laughs that off and says hold on! Why so serious? This is just business! Cuz if this were personal… Dax would’ve already splattered Nigel’s nose across his face. But this is business, and Sunday, FTR will be businessmen. Dax just hopes so can Nigel. Dax touches Nigel’s shoulder, Nigel grabs that arm!
Nigel puts Dax in a corner, Cash SHOVES Garcia into Menard! Stoke bails, Schiavone isn’t far behind, and Cash storms up on Nigel. Nigel HEADBUTTS Cash, and Garcia fires hands! Dax kicks Nigel, but Nigel WRINGS Dax’s arm! Garcia has Cash’s legs, Nigel has Dax’s arm! DRAGON TAMER and SHANKLY GATES!! FTR is tapping out! Menard dares Stoke to try something! Security rushes out, FTR is set free, and they retreat with Stoke while fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Nigel gets the mic back, and the pen, and he says if they want to look in his eyes, come Sunday, he’ll look into their souls!
“At Double or Nothing, THIS… ENDS!” Nigel signs and it is official! Will nothing stop Nigel & Garcia from making FTR tap out again?
Toni Storm speaks.
“So many women have died when they are young, only for their bodies to be buried much later. But you, Mina Shirakawa, have only ever made me feel very much alive. I have appreciated you, I have admired you, and by gawd, have I envied you. But now, you’re here to stay. The safari is over. And it’s much more difficult to survive the squared jungle when this pussy is on the prowl. I’ve always had a premonition that this journey would end in tragedy. So if there’s anyone can stop this belt from shining in my reflection at All In, then there is nobody more talented than you.
“I just have one request: Sunday, give me your damndest in the desert! Make me fight for my fate in Phoenix! Let’s drag out tits through the dirt, and let’s make every cactus cream in celebration! And then, decades from now, when we’re in the wrestler retirement home, giving Brutus Beefcake a lap dance, I will turn to you and say, ‘Dammit! You lusty, busty bastard! We lived!'” The Timeless One has come to terms with what could be, but what will happen when she and the Fighting Gravure Idol go Double or Nothing?
Six Man Tag: Bandido & The Outrunners VS The Don Callis Family!
We’ve seen the Most Wanted and “Los Outrunners” team with before, and now they’re taking on some real bad hombres! Will they be the ones winning this shootout? Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta be bringing down the ROH World Champion and the Youngest Men Alive?

Down goes the Don Callis Family and Collision goes picture in picture!
Bandido fires up and he returns to the ring. Trent crawls around in there, and Bandido keeps the fans fired up. Bandido drags Trent up with a headlock, then tags in Truth Magnum. Truth headlocks, brings Trent around, but Trent RAMS him into the Callis Family corner! Rocky is there to tag in, and he BLASTS turbo and Bandido! The ref reprimands, but Rocky then scoops and SLAMS Truth! Tag to Konosuke, he hops right up, and he SUPER SENTONS! Truth sputters from the impact! Truth goes to the apron but Rocky CLUBS him!

Truth CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Konosuke ALPHA ELBOWS Truth down! Konosuke steps on Truth at the ropes, CHOKEs him, then argues with the ref. That lets RPG Vice mug Truth! The ref keeps Turbo and Bandido back, letting Konosuke add on! Konosuke keeps Truth from his corner to whip him back into the Callis corner. Tag to Trent and he stomps Truth. Trent UPPERCUTS, tags Rocky, and Rocky snapmares Truth for a basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Truth toughs it out but Rocky kicks him around. Rocky eggs Truth on, KICKS him in the leg, then stalks him.

Rocky slides for his soccer style celebration, this is a big win for the Callis Family to kick off the night! But will the rest of the family be just as victorious? Or will Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander pay for the karma Callis just banked?
Gabe Kidd speaks.
“See, I don’t understand what you don’t get. I don’t understand what I have to explain here. Let me make it very clear. There’s a lot of people asking questions, ‘Why would Gabe Kidd join up with The Young Bucks? Why would Gabe Kidd join up with Jon Moxley?’ It’s very EFFIN’ simple! You wanna save this company? You wanna save what AEW is? Protect it from all of us? How are you gonna do that when we are here eating it alive from the inside?” Jon Moxley says that at Anarchy in the Arena, they will paint a picture of the true spirit of professional wrestling, and they will paint it in blood!
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Reyna Isis!
The Open Challenge was put out and it was quickly answered by CMLL’s rising star. But will The CEO just use her as a tune-up for Jamie Hayter and the Women’s Owen Hart Cup? Or will she end up Two Belts Mone against the Queen of Redemption?

Will Mone not be denied adding that to her collection?
The Sons of Texas speaks.
Dustin Rhodes says, “This marks six years since the very first Double or Nothing. A moment in time that’ll never be forgotten. I’ll also never forget when I made history with my brother. I have given my SOUL for this.” Sammy Guevara says, “We are the Sons of Texas. We are an undefeated tag team, and we are two men who have bene here since day one, since the very beginning, and now here we are, the ROH World Tag Team Champions. But we ant more gold.” Dustin & Sammy earned their shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships and the Hurt Syndicate. These two are the perfect combination of sweat, blood, grit, passion and speed.
Lashley & Shelton like to hurt people? Well have at it! Dustin & Sammy will risk everything every single time they step in that ring to get everything! If you’re a betting man, then bet on the day one guys. Will the Natural & Spanish God become DOUBLE Tag Team Champions? Or will they both get hurt?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Jay Lethal!
The Protostar steps up for the Callis Family now, and he’s taking on the Franchise Player of ROH! Will the Aussie Arrow take down one of the greats to prove HE is one of the greats? Or will it take just one Lethal Injection to put Kyle down?
The bell rings and the fans cheer on Lethal. Lethal and Kyle circle, feel things out, then Lethal goes for a leg. Kyle fights it with a gut wrench but Lethal slips around to a waistlock. Kyle RAMS Lethal into a corner, and he lets off slowly. Kyle ELBOWS Lethal, the fans boo, but Kyle CHOPS! Kyle wait son Lethal, kicks low, then CHOPS again! The fans “WOO~” and Kyle whips.

The fans cheer and count along, Lethal goes to TEN!
Lethal hops down, the fans cheer, and Lethal whips corner to corner. Kyle reverses, Lethal goes up and out, but Kyle catches him in the ropes!

Kyle goes to a corner, Lethal storms up, but Kyle scoops and SLAMS! The fans boo, Kyle soaks up the heat, and Kyle stomps Lethal. He stomps away on Lethal at the ropes, but the ref counts. Kyle stands on Lethal, steps off as the ref counts more, and the fans boo. Kyle soaks it up, then goes back to Lethal.
Kyle whips, Lethal reverses, but Kyle BOOTS Lethal, only for Lethal to block! Lethal puts the leg in the ropes and CHOPS! Then Lethal has the other leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW!

Well, speaking of the Don Callis Family, the Walking Weapon looks to secure the 3-0 sweep on the night. Will nothing stop the Callis Family from dominating AEW? Or will this still be the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and Callis is back on commentary to accept Adam Cole’s Six Man Tag match challenge. In fact, he’ll put up “the big three” of Konosuke, Fletcher and Alexander!

All parts of the Don Callis Family win tonight, and Callis aims the Walking Weapon at Adam Cole & The Paragon. Callis says he loves Cole, would’ve had Cole in the family, but Cole screwed up! Now the Paragon will be buried! Cole says go ahead and try. Will Cole, Roddy & Kyle make sure Double or Nothing is undisputed? Or will everything in AEW soon belong to the Don Callis Family?
Six Man Tag: Mistico, Templario & Mascara Dorada VS Los Depredadores!
CMLL looks to represent on the Collision before Double or Nothing as two-thirds of the CMLL World Trios Champions in Mistico & Dorada teams the CMLL World Middleweight Champion, Templario. But will these three shine like the sun here in New Mexico? Or will Volador Jr, Magnus y Rugido ruin all their fun in part one of our double main event?
The trios sort out and fans rally for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” The Lion Warrior starts against The Roar. They circle, the fans rally up, and then the forearms fly! The fans rally as Temp gets the edge. Things speed up, Rugido drops down then hurdles over. Temp comes back to hurdle, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER Rugido! The fans fire up, Rugido bails out, and lucha rules lets Volador rush in.

Mascara slows up, the fans rally, and the ref reprimands. Despredadores wanna bail? The fans boo, the count begins, and Depredadores change their mind. They come back, so Mistico tags in. The fans cheer him on while Depredadores talk strategy.
Mistico and Volador step up, and Volador wants a handshake? Mistico is wary, he doesn’t accept. The two get moving, Mistico runs, handsprings, but into a DROPKICK! Then Los Depredadores attack! The fans boo as they knock Templario y Mascara down, then mug Mistico 3v1! The ref reprimands but Collision goes picture in picture.
Depredadores stop to soak up the heat, then they drag Mistico up. They double whip him corner to corner, then they send Rugido to LARIAT! Magnus LARIATS!

Mascara ducks under, tag to Mistico! Mistico dares Volador to bring it but Volador backs down to tag Magnus. Magnus offers a handshake, but that’s just so Rugido can KICK Mistico in the leg!

The CMLL Trios Champions and their amigo in the CMLL Middleweight Champion take down the Mexican National Tag Team and the living legend that leads them! Will these stars shine even brighter once AEW visits Arena Mexico in June?
AEW hears from Anna Jay, Harley Cameron, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford.
The Queenslayer says, “Penelope, Megan, we are not finished with you.” The Wild Aussie says, “We’ve still got plenty of fruit left on these vines!” They will have a tag team match with them. The Megasus says when weaklings keep trying, some call it perseverance. Megan just calls it delusion. She has beat them both, but was that not enough? Anna says she doesn’t care who, one of them is getting choked out! Harley says she’s got some grapes of WRATH coming! The Superbad Girl says if they want a match so bad on Sunday, then don’t worry about her. Megan tells them to pray God shows them mercy, because Megan never will. That is, unless they #BowDown!
And so it is official! The Double or Nothing Buy-In will see Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford! Who will win big this Sunday to perhaps even head for golden opportunities for the Summer?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“Willow. Who do you think I hang out with? What do you think I do? What’d I ever do to you? Besides spear you off the stage, drop you headfirst onto thumbtacks, and choke you with a chain… You may have a point. But, here’s mine. I’m sorry. I’ve made mistakes, but I am a very dangerous person. So be careful who you push, because they might just push back.” The Galaxy’s Greatest gave a friendly warning, but it was still a warning. Will this #BornAgainKristen find herself ruining her testament over an old grudge?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey & Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
Part two of the double main event is here, and it has even more high-flying, hard hitting lucha libre! Bailey is still getting his shot at Kazuchika Okada and the Continental Championship, but will he and the Commander of the Skies survive this Collision? Or will Rush y Dralistico make sure Bailey is in no shape to face the Rainmaker?
Rush makes his entrance, but where is Dralistico? Dralistico attacks from behind! The fans boo as Dralistico knocks Komander and Bailey down! The bell rings and Dralistico stomps away on Bailey. Dralistico then goes out to ROCK Komander, letting Rush go after Bailey with a whip into railing! Bailey falls but Rush stands him up to THROW into more railing! Dralistico does the same to Komander, then SMACKS him off the desk! Dralistico CHOPS Komander, Rush HEADBUTTS away on Bailey, and Rush says HE is number one! Dralistico BOOTS Komander down! Rush SMACKS Bailey off the desk, then grabs that can of iDrinq!
Rush SMASHES the can in Bailey’s face! The ref reprimands, Rush y Dralistico revel in the cheers and jeers, and they mug Bailey. They put Bailey in the ring, then THROW Komander into railing. The fans rally for Speedball, but Dralistico stomps him down, Dralistico drags Bailey up by his hair, puts him against the ropes, and Rush holds Bailey up so Dralistico can CHOP! Bailey might as well have been shot! Rush CHOPS, whips, but Bailey grabs ropes! Bailey BOOTS Rush, BOOTS Dralistico, then Komander tags in! DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! LFI bails out, the fans fire up, and Komander coordinates with Bailey.
Komander and Bailey both build speed, and they both DIVE onto LFI! Then they trade, and they DIVE the other way! The fans fire up as the two slide back in, go again, and DIVE! But LFI say “Nope!” and let both men crash ‘n’ burn! The fans fire up while Collision goes picture in picture.
Bailey writhes, Rush stalks him, and Dralistico stands on the barriers to soak up cheers and jeers. Rush throws body shots on Bailey, HEABUTTS him, then leaves him behind to taunt fans. Meanwhile, Dralistico POSTS Komander! Dralistico puts Komander in a GROUND COBRA TWIST, Rush RAMS Bailey into the steel steps, and then Dralistico puts Komander in the ring. Dralistico hoists Komander up top, then HAMMERS away on him! Dralistico pulls at the mask, the ref reprimands, and Komander fights back. Dralistico traps Komander’s arm to CLAW at the mask! Komander still fights, so Dralistico puts him in the Tree of Woe, for a KICK!
Komander flops to the mat and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico drags Komander from the corner to then tie up the legs and pull on an arm! Komander endures, Dralistico STOMPS the knees, and Dralistico soaks up heat. Dralistico bumps Komander off buckles, sits him down, then runs side to side for a SUPERKICK! Dralistico lounges on the ropes and says tranquilo! Dralistico tags Rush, LFI mugs Komander, and Rush even SPITS at Bailey! The ref keeps Bailey back while Collision returns to single picture. LFI mug Komander more, and Rush CHOPS! Komander sputters, Rush whips him corner to corner, then whips Dralistico.
Komander goes up and over Dralistico, rolls, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he RANAS Dralistico hard! Rush runs up, Komander dodges and springboards to DROPKICK! The fans fire up, hot tag to Dralistico, and he waits on Komander. Komander crawls, hot tag to Bailey! Bailey BOOTS Dralistico, BOOTS Rush, then he fires LIGHTNING KICKS on Dralistico! The fans fire up and Bailey ENZIGIRIS! Dralistico runs up, Bailey mule kicks, AX KICKS, and BUZZSAWS! Then STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Bailey glares at Rush, the fans rally up, and Bailey sits Dralistico up again. PENALTY KICK! STANDING-
NO, Dralistico moves, Bailey lands out, and Dralistico DREAMCAST KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tag to Rush! Rush storms up on Bailey, eggs him on, and drags him up. Bailey ROCKS Rush, but Rush brushes that off. Rush ROCKS Bailey and eggs Bailey on. Bailey and Rush fire forearm after forearm, and then they CHOP back and forth! The fans fire up, Rush eggs Bailey on again, then he blocks Bailey’s kick! Rush trips Bailey, Bailey avoids the stomps! Bailey runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Rush CHOPS! And CHOPS! Bailey runs, Rush dodges, ROLLING ELBOW! Bailey falls into a corner and the fans fire up!
Rush stomps away on Bailey, then runs corner to corner. Rush runs back in, feints the horns to BOOT Bailey! Rush says, “Tranquilo!” The fans are torn but Rush tags Dralistico. Rush sets Bailey up, Bailey shoves Rush away and Komander GAMANGIRIS! Rush flops out, Dralistico springboards in, but Bailey dodges! Bailey SUPERKICKS! Dralistico tumbles out, Komander is on the far corner! TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULT from Bailey, tightrope walk and ESCALARA from Komander! The fans are thunderous as Komander takes down LFI! Komander and Bayiley high-five, then they get Dralistico in the ring.
Komander puts Rush in the drop zone, and now both Komander and Bailey climb! They aim at LFI, DOUBLE SHOOTING STARS!! Cover, TWO?!? LFI survives and the fans can’t believe it! Abrahantes coaches his guys, “This is Awesome!” Bailey kicks Rush out, tags Komander in, and they focus on Dralistico! Komander springboards to FLYING DESTROYER!! Cover, RUSH BREAKS IT! Rush stands Komander up just to HEABUTT him back down! Bailey runs up, Rush sidesteps and SNAP GERMANS! Bailey flounders into a SLIDING KNEE! Rush fires up, the fans are torn, but he coordinates with Dralistico.
The fans duel as Rush goes out to get Bailey. Dralistico brings Komander up in a corner, and he underhooks, SUPER FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!?! Komander survives and the fans fire up! Rush runs up on Bailey but is sent into steel steps! Dralistico is shocked, but Komander gives him a POISON-RANA! Hot tag to Bailey! Bailey hurries to spin and TIME ADVENTURE! Komander adds the CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Bailey’s team wins!
Winners: “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Komander, by pinfall
A high-speed combo wins it for- WAIT! The coin drops, and here comes Okada! The Continental Champion walks down the ramp, eyes on Bailey in the ring. Champion and challenger are face to face, and Bailey gives a respectful bow before offering a handshake. Okada reaches out, only to flip Bailey off! The fans are torn, but Bailey KICKS that finger and HEEL KICKS Okada! Okada tumbles out, Bailey builds speed, and Bailey FLIES! Down goes Okada and Bailey stands up with the belt! Will Speedball be too fast to be touched by the rain? Or will no one stop Okada’s reign of terror?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision considering it is the go-home to Double or Nothing. But that said, it felt like a lot of last-minute promos were shoved onto this. Dustin & Sammy didn’t say anything more than what was said last night on Dynamite, and at least the one from Harley, Anna, Megan & Penelope established their match for The Buy-In. Toni’s was very good, as they always are, but it doesn’t add much from last night as the math already said Toni was winning. Very good promo for the tag team match contract signing, though, with a great brawl as part of it. Nigel & Garcia might win, but I mostly expect Adam Copeland to make his return as part of it.
Very good match from Mercedes VS Isis but it makes sense it wasn’t very long given we knew Mone would win. It was mostly a vehicle for one last confrontation of Hayter and Mone before the PPV. It still feels very likely that Mone wins so that she can face Toni and maybe they go title VS title at All In. Great stuff with the Don Callis Family throughout the night, all members getting wins tonight to stay strong. Great match of Paragon VS GYV, great win for Paragon, and instead of just cutting to the chase of Cole VS someone for the TNT Championship, they’re given us a Six Man Tag. That’s fine, because I expect whoever wins for Don Callis Family is the guy that faces Cole for the TNT Championship either at Fyter Fest or the first-ever “Summer Blockbuster.”
Maybe Excalibur misspoke but I know he called the lucha libre trios match a “main event.” Either way, great CMLL Six Man Tag, and naturally the Faces won that. It was just for a lot of fun, I would’ve thought maybe they could put this on the Buy-In, but it at least makes for good marketing on the road to Grand Slam: Mexico. And great tag match main event from Bailey & Komander VS LFI. Not sure what happened to them doing Titans of the Air, Komander & Hologram as a duo, but that’s typical AEW. Bailey’s team of course won so that he has momentum, and then Okada shows up so that Bailey can also stand tall over him. All that math adds up to Okada retaining at Double or Nothing, but it’ll be a great match for Bailey, too.
My Score: 8.8/10
