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?

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

The Scapegoat bus pulls into the parking lot, the TNT Champion gets out, dumps what’s left of his coffee, and smiles as he walks into the arena. He is ready to defend his title, but will he still fall to the Fallen Angel?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who “sacrifices” the other to become The Face of TNT!

Jack rains down forearms but the fans boo. Jack gets on the apron to soak up heat!

Daniels stays in this, but Jack CHOKES him at the ropes! The fans boo, Jack lets off at 4, and pretends he didn’t see Daniels there. Then Jack KICKS the ropes to jam Daniels up! Jack has a cocky cover, TWO! Jack is annoyed, but Daniels CHOPS him! Jack smirks, Daniels CHOPS again, so Jack CLAWS Daniels’ eyes! The ref counts, Jack lets off, but then Daniels ROCKS Jack! And ROCKS him again! Daniels whips Jack to a corner, but Jack BOOTS him down!

Jack vows that NO ONE is taking this from him! “The people who don’t like me are the people who can’t handle the truth.” Jack goes right back to the parking lot and his bus, to drive off into the sunset. Will The Scapegoat Express never stop its world tour?
Backstage interview with Wheeler Yuta.
Lexy Nair catches The Decoder as he enters the building now, and she knows this goes without being said, but… We all witnessed the horrific events of All Out and what happened to Bryan Danielson. How is Bryan? Yuta says Bryan… Out of respect for him and his family, Yuta won’t share too much. But Bryan is doing the best he can, given the circumstances. Yuta realizes he forgot his boots, spaces out a bit, but starts again. He hasn’t really talked with any of the other guys… And what about Yuta’s match tonight? Yuta says Anthony Henry is one incredibly talented, incredibly tough competitor.
But one thing Bryan told Yuta, the reason Bryan loves professional wrestling is because in the ring, he feels he’s meant to be there and everything else can be put on pause. So Yuta will try and channel that tonight. Yuta heads on to the locker room, will he be able to clear his mind once he’s in the ring?
Six Man Tag: Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Holo.grm VS The Beast Mortos & The Premier Athletes!
The Conglomeration has had a great week so far, but it could be even bigger given who they’re teaming with tonight! Will the futuristic luchador continue to raise the bar in AEW? Or will he, The Chicken and the Violent Artist all be brought down to earth by Ariya Daivari, Tony Nese and the menacing minotaur?
Oh wait, Mark Sterling of course has to talk. He knows we know who they are, but he’s sure we’re all wondering why they’re teaming with The Beast Mortos. That is because The Conglomeration and Hologram have been thorns in their side for the past two months! They used some of Daivari’s substantial funds to enlist two horns they can stick into The Conglomeration’s side! But to make sure everyone is on the same page, they’re going to do a team building exercise that even the idiots here in Ohio can understand! When Sterling says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else, got it? Hands in… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!”
The teams sort out, and Kyle steps up against Nese. They circle, the fans fire up, and the two tie up. Kyle waistlocks, Nese drop toeholds, and he floats to a facelock. Kyle wrenches out, facelocks, then wrenches to a wristlock. Nese endures, pulls at the tights, but Kyle wrenches again. Nese rolls, wrenches, wristlocks, and YANKS Kyle around. Kyle spins to drop toehold back, and now Kyle facelocks. Kyle wrenches an arm, tags Mark, and they mug Nese. The fans rally as Mark wrenches and YANKS the arm again and again. Nese powers up and puts Mark in the corner, tag to Daivari. The Premier Athletes mug Mark while fans boo.
The ref reprimands, Nese & Daivari let off, and Daivari drags Mark up. Daivari CHOPS Mark, whisp him, but Mark slides under and REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! Then he CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS again! Mark whips corner to corner, Daivari reverses, but Mark goes up and out to ROCK Daivari! RKF UPPERCUT! Then a BOOT! Mark fires up the fans, then he brings Daivari around. Mark whips, Daivari reverses, but Kyle tags in! Mark wrenches, kicks, and feeds the BOOT! Mark BLASTS Nese, fist-bumps Kyle, and Kyle drags Daivari up.

AEW shares footage from CMLL 91st Anniversario!
If you’re wondering where Orange Cassidy is, he was just down in Mexico to join in on CMLL’s big anniversary show. Freshly Squeezed was part of Team Internacional alongside Rocky Romero & Satoshi Kojima, losing out in a Best 2 Out of 3 Falls Six Man Tag against Team Mexico’s Atlantis Jr, Volador Jr. & Ultimo Guerrero. However, Cassidy’s night was not done. In the main event, Chris Jericho lost to Mistico and then became a sore loser, beating up Mistico with the help of “Big Bill” Morrissey! Cassidy made the save, he and Mistico ran off The Learning Tree, and stood tall as amigos.
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Renee Paquette says Freshly Squeezed made his CMLL debut in front of a sold out Arena Mexico. How did it- OH NO! Bill BOOTS Cassidy, sending his sunglasses flying! Bill then THROWS Cassidy into the garage door! Bryan Keith puts the backpack over Cassidy’s head, and here comes Jericho. Jericho has the framed picture of The Best Friends, and says, “Here’s to friendship, Orange.” He SMASHES the picture on Cassidy’s head!! “You can have your knapsack back. See you Wednesday.” Renee steps back in to say they need help back here! She tells Jericho to leave, Jericho says, “Thanks, Renee.” Did Jericho just get his real payback for the jacket and Bentley?
Stokely Hathaway is in his private study.
And what he’s studying is game film of various top tag teams in some of their best matches here in AEW. But what could Stokely be formulating for the future?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Lexy Nair is with The Glamour, and says she has been AEW Women’s World Champion for a few weeks now, but has yet to hold her championship celebration. Yes, she has, and she isn’t doing it now in Dayton, Ohio. It’s just the Wish.com version of Cincinnati. Then in any case, Mariah invited Mina Shirakawa to return, and Mariah says her best times were with Mina. Stardom and Japan, here in AEW, but then somewhere along the way, bad things just happened. Mariah needs Mina. She can’t celebrate her win without Mina. Mariah wants Mina. Oh, sorry, can Mariah help you? We pan over to see Yuka Sakazaki!
Yuka says hi, and Mariah says how cute. Yuka says she wants to fight for the belt. Oh, that’s nice. But Yuka can get in line, and then Mariah will rip her head off! Yuka says okay. Bye-bye~! Yuka leaves, and Mariah is seething already. Will the Wrestling Magical Girl prove she is worthy when she returns to the ring tonight?
Wheeler Yuta VS Anthony Henry w/ BEEF!
We saw how disheveled The Decoder is, even one week after the incident at All Out. But he’ll try his best to do what Bryan would do and use wrestling to clear his head. Will he succeed in shaking off this funk? Or will the Saint of Augusta take advantage of Yuta’s unsettled mindset?

Yuta is so furious, he almost goes after the ref now! But Yuta returns from the fugue state, and he takes his leave. But will Yuta focus this anger on those who deserve it? Or is he going to find himself stuck between both sides of the Blackpool Combat Club?
Backstage interview with Serena Deeb and Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair notes The Professor has a match tonight against Yuka Sakazaki, and The One True African Woman also has a match tonight against Robyn Renegade. Serena asked for this time with Aminata, the floor is hers. Serena thanks Aminata for her time, it is very kind of her to hear Serena out. Now, Serena wants to continue their discussion from last time. Serena watched Aminata take on Mariah, and it was a great match, Aminata has a lot of potential. But Serena did say that Aminata isn’t ready. However, the offer still stands and Serena is very forgiving. So if Aminata wants to talk more, she knows where to find her.
Aminata tells Serena sorry, but she doesn’t freakin’ have time for this! She has her match to get ready for. Serena tells Queen Aminata to let the Professor show her how it’s done. Serena then turns to camera to address Yuka. The last time Yuka even had thoughts to step into the ring with Serena, her leg broke. Imagine what it’ll be like now that she’s actually taking Serena on tonight. See you later. Serena says that to Aminata as much as she does Yuka. Will there be no mercy in Deeb’s Dojo for the returning Wrestling Magical Girl? Will Deeb’s Dojo be adding a student after tonight? Or will nothing go quite how Serena expects?
Anna Jay speaks.
“I just got back from Japan, wrestling, learning, honing my skills and becoming the best that I can be. It was not easy. I was tired, I was sore, I was beat up. But let me tell you what I learned while I was there. I want more. So much more. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah May is due for a very big receipt. And I’ve also never stepped into the ring with Mercedes Mone. So lemme make it easy for all of you. If you wanna see what an evolved Anna Jay has become, just try me.” The Queenslayer is back, will she become The Star of the Show once and for all?
Six Man Tag: Komander & Private Party w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Jon Cruz, Lord Crewe & Ren Jones!
This trio tried to have their first match together last Wednesday Night Dynamite, but they and their opponents got blindsided and brutalized by the new, more maniacal Blackpool Combat Club. Will they have better luck tonight? Or will being in Moxley’s backyard only put them at risk again?

Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness talk about Bryan Danielson.
Given the change to Grand Slam, where Darby Allin now defends his #1 contender status against Jon Moxley, Nigel is of course calling out The American Dragon for that same night. How can Nigel be sure Bryan will even be able to compete? Nigel can’t be sure, but neither can Tony Khan. But when Moxley convinced Darby to put the title shot on the line, he did it out of pure speculation. That is why Nigel told TK that they can’t know Bryan won’t be able to compete. So Nigel figured, if Bryan can show up, and Darby no longer available to face him, Nigel would like to. Nigel will be there, so the question is, will Bryan?
Nigel now talks to Bryan: If Bryan doesn’t show up, it isn’t because of his condition. It is because he fears Nigel McGuinness. Nigel’s said it before, so he’ll just show us what he means. Footage courtesy of ROH, Nigel and Bryan battled for THE ROH World Championship. Nigel narrates that he and Bryan were bitter rivals on equal standing, clashing for the gold in matches that had the wrestling world abuzz. But there has been no one before or since that has beaten Bryan Danielson so convincingly, so brutally, and so thoroughly!
No matter how much success Bryan has had in his career after ROH, even winning the AEW World Championship, Bryan is STILL haunted by the memories of facing Nigel. Even more now 16 YEARS later, Nigel being in the best shape of his life, better than Bryan ever was, and Bryan is a physical wreck! Nigel says no worries, Bryan. Win, lose or draw, Bryan will still be world champion. But let’s not make any bones about it: If Bryan shows up, Nigel will look to end Bryan’s career! Ball’s in Bryan’s court. How will The American Dragon respond with 11 days left before Grand Slam?
Yuka Sakazaki VS Serena Deeb!
The Magical Girl called out The Glamour, but The Professor has called out The Magical Girl! Will Yuka pass Serena’s test and head for the AEW Women’s World Championship? Or will Serena earn herself that opportunity instead?
The bell rings but wait! Mariah makes her way out here! It seems Yuka got under her skin, but Mariah’s presence sure has Nigel in good spirits. The fans rally for Yuka as she and Deeb circle. They tie up, and Deeb wrenches an arm. Deeb wristlocks, Mariah says Deeb has taught her much so she wishes her luck. As for Yuka, break a leg. Deeb wrenches while Nigel laughs far too much at the joke. Yuka rolls, kips up, and wrenches to wristlock. Deeb rolls, rolls, and slips around to wrench and wristlock. Deeb wrangles Yuka, ties up the legs, and she has Yuka in Paradise! Deeb sits on Yuka, the fans are torn, but Mariah is amused.
Deeb flexes and Mariah jokes that this is child abuse. Yuka is a child as far as Mariah can tell. Schiavone says Yuka’s a ten year veteran, but Mariah says more like a 10-year-old. Deeb DROPKICKS Yuka out of Paradise! Yuka goes to ropes, Deeb eggs her on, but Yuka frowns. Yuka runs up to KNEE low! Yuka snapmares and rolls with Deeb to KICK her down!

Yuka boxing elbows, then ROLLING- NO, Deeb ducks to wrench! Deeb drags Yuka down, around, reels her in, POWERBOMB! STRETCH MUFFLER!! Yuka endures, fights, and Mariah mockingly says Yuka might have to tap. The fans rally up, Yuka roars and crawls forward! ROPEBREAK! Deeb thrashes the leg, but she lets go at the ref’s count. Deeb drags Yuka back up, UPPERCUTS, but then Yuka ROCKS Deeb!
Deeb UPPERCUTS! Yuka ROCKS Deeb! UPPERCUT! Yuka wobbles, but she comes back to ROCK Deeb! Yuka fires shot after shot, then runs up, but Deeb ducks! DOUBLE LARIATS collide! And again! Deeb gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Even Mariah thought that one hurt. But Yuka ROCKS Deeb! Deeb LARIATS Yuka! Deeb drags Yuka up, tucks her in, but Yuka powers out! Scoop and MAGICAL GIRL DRIVER!

The Outrunners speak.
In another retro video, Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd are getting their pump on in the gym! They say what they want, when they want! How old do they have to be to have a gym membership? 18 years old. Well lucky for this guy, he’s lookin’ at the Youngest Men Alive! Now scram! They tell the tag division that they’re coming for your pride, your manhood, and your gold! Because if you haven’t seen The Outrunners, you ain’t seen nothing yet! These human throwbacks are ready for action, but what will it take for them to take down the best in AEW?
Top Flight Airlines talks backstage.
Leila Grey is so full, they just had a great dinner. But then Action Andretti speaks up. Why’re they going on about the food they just ate? Are they not pissed off like he’s pissed off? Look what they did just this week. Darius & Dante lost out on a chance to become AEW World Tag Team Champions. Lio Rush lost out on the TNT Championship. Action just lost on Rampage! He’s still hot! Lio asks why he’s still on it then. Chill out, it’s just a loss. No, man, it’s not “just” a loss! Look at them! They have so much potential together! They have something that very few have! This is Leila Grey, Top Flight, Lio Rush and Action Andretti, and all they’re talking about is food?!
Action snatches Dante’s burger and CHUCKS it at the production truck! Lio says calm down, Action! But Action looks at the truck and says look! Why aren’t they treated more like The House of Black? Does Top Flight not have wins over The House of Black? Why aren’t they going up against more teams like them and getting more wins? Lio says Action is just talking out his ass, and Leila says yeah, Action needs to calm down. The team needs to get it together, or they’re going nowhere. Action says yeah, they do. Action leaves, but where to? The others follow him, will The Sight to See make the others see his point of view?
Six Man Tag: The Bang Bang Gang VS The Cage of Agony!
Juice Robinson & The Gunns were minding their business, but Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona had to drudge up the past. Cage said they only lost the ROH World Six Man Tag titles, because they were up against six opponents!

Buddy Matthews chuckles and says, “Boys. It seems like everyone wants a piece of the House of Black.” Malakai Black says, “The seven of you (Lance Archer, The Righteous and all of Top Flight Airlines) want to challenge the three of us. I’d say that your odds are about, oh, I’d say 50-50.” Brody King sees it as 80-20. But Buddy says come one, come all! The House of Black slips into the shadows, will they just tear down anyone and everyone that knocks on their door?

Throwbacks love throwbacks, but will these four make sure GYV don’t make it to the top of the mountain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, with lots of great story build. I even like this literal “Show up, win, leave” attitude Jack Perry is using. He and Daniels have a solid opening match, some real rough bumps taken but both guys were okay, and of course Jack won. But one of these times, someone has to either hijack the bus or surprise Jack from inside the bus. I mean, he just leaves it right there in the parking lot. Really good stuff with Yuta, too, though he kind of awkwardly played being distracted and disheveled. But in the match, he got it right as Henry insulted him and Bryan and then just went berserk. And good promo from Nigel to further call out Bryan, so you know Bryan’s gonna show up.
Great Six Man Tag from Conglomeration with Hologram against Mortos & Premier Athletes. I figured the Faces would win to keep Hologram going strong, but Mortos seems to just be going after anyone and everyone he wants. Ricochet from Dynamite, Hologram here, we’re going to get some great matches out of all of them as Ricochet builds up towards facing Ospreay for the International Championship. And we also got a very good showing from the new trio of Komander & Private Party, the alley-oop into the Gin & Juice is genius, and I feel like we’re definitely getting a Six Man Tag match, Fiesta Privada VS Moxley, Claudio & Pac. Non-title, but could be used as a plot point to compel a title match, and then Yuta has to decide whose side he is on.
Great Six Man Tag from Bang Bang Gang with Cage of Agony, and great win for Bang Bang Gang, they’ll be staying afloat as we wait on this World Trios Championship story to sort out. Very good promo segment from Top Flight Airlines, and while both sides of the argument are valid, I am leaning towards Action’s side. The whole faction could be doing so much more, they just need the opportunities. Though, calling out The House of Black might be a mistake. Good promo from The House of Black in response, calling out Top Flight and The Righteous, that sounds like a very good Trios Triple Threat in the making right there.
Very good stuff in the build of a new Women’s World Championship story here. Aminata and Deeb of course have their own issues brewing, but good revisit of Yuka and Deeb, which was the intended feud months ago before Yuka got hurt. Granted, there were parts of the match between Yuka and Deeb that were a bit rough, maybe it was a lot for Yuka’s return. But great win for Yuka, and then great stuff with her and Mariah, and that tag match made for Dynamite is going to be a lot of fun.
Very intriguing vignette from Stokely Hathaway. While he is still managing Statlander, he might be looking to expand into a full faction, which would be what the tag match videos are about. Good video showing Cassidy and Jericho in action at CMLL’s anniversary show, but Tony Schiavone misspoke, all the AEW guys lost that night. But then good follow-up of continuity both there in CMLL and here tonight with Jericho’s team beating Cassidy down. This adds some last minute heat to the Dynamite match, but I am very sure this all means Cassidy finds a way to win.
And awesome tag match main event from FTR VS GYV, and great win for FTR. I should’ve figured GYV would be sore losers about it, but I did not think The Outrunners would make the save. They are rapidly growing in popularity, even if it’s more for their hilarious gimmick. But between making amends with Infantry on ROH and coming out to help FTR, Outrunners look to be in a lot of 8 Man Tags in the near future. If things go right, they might even be tag team champions before the year is over. But probably ROH tag titles more than AEW tag titles.
My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara and The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair says Matt Taven & Mike Bennett asked for this time in order to talk with the ROH World Tag Team Champions in The Natural & The Spanish God. The floor is theirs. Bennett says hi, it’s so nice to see them somewhere not in Texas. Sammy says yeah, that’s true. Because the last time they all saw each other, it was All In, Wembley Stadium, and Team Texas beat The Kingdom’s ass. Oh, is that so? Because Taven remembers there being interference. Bennett remembers Kevin Von Erich constantly sticking his nose into their matches. Heck, ALL of Texas has been interfering in their matches! He’s surprised the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders didn’t show up!
Dustin says that would be kinda nice, actually. Taven says he’s just stick of seeing the two of them with those titles. Sammy is looking like Jim Carrey in The Mask. What was his name again? Bennett says it was Stanley Ipkiss. Yeah, Ipkiss! And then Dustin! Taven finally understands why Dustin paints his face. Taven would be ashamed, too, if he was acting like this. Dustin & Sammy have no honor! Actually, they should do this the one way they all know how! A Fight Without Honor! Because having no honor is the only tradition the Rhodes Family has- Dustin SLAPS Taven for that! Sammy holds Dustin back while Bennett helps Taven stand.
Sammy reminds them that this is DUSTIN RHODES, a living legend! Put respect on his name, because he’s earned it, unlike The Kingdom. Dustin tells Taven to never mention his family again, “you tick turd SOB!” For 36 LONG HARD YEARS, Dustin has done nothing but be honorable! He has been ripping, tearing, clawing his way through this sport, falling down 1000 times and failing his ass off, but then getting right back up and on the horse. Does Taven understand!? If Taven wants his shot at these titles, it’ll be in his home town of Springfield, Massachusetts next Saturday! And it won’t just be any match, it’ll be a BUNKHOUSE BRAWL!
Dustin is the King of the Bunkhouse! And if The Kingdom has any balls, then they’ll show up, and Dustin will rip their freakin’ eyeballs out!! The Kingdom gets their title match, but will getting the titles back cost them something in return?
Kamille VS Robyn Renegade!
Mercedes Mone’s Brickhouse has been a big help, but it is time for her to get hers. Will she start building a solid standing of her own? Or will she fail to stop this Renegade?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Kamille RAMS Robyn right to a corner, then fires off CHOPS and forearms! The ref counts, Kamille shifts to stomping a mudhole, but she stops at 4. The fans boo but Kamille brings Robyn up to whip. Robyn KICKS back, but that just annoys Kamille. She BOOTS Robyn down! Robyn flounders, Kamille drags her up, and Kamille scoops. Robyn fights free, Kamille hits buckles, then Robyn fires forearms! Robyn whips, Kamille reverses, but Robyn ducks and leaps, into Kamille’s arms! And then a BEARHUG! Robyn endures, Kamille CLUBS her and suplexes! The fans are torn as Kamille storms after Robyn.
Robyn flops out of the ring, but Kamille pursues. Kamille CLUBS Robyn, brings her up, and BEARHUGS again! The ref has a ring count going, but Kamille carries Robyn around, CLUBS her, then POSTS her!

Kamille runs with Robyn, OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! But she’s not done there! The fans are torn as Kamille drags Robyn back up. Kamille reels Robyn in, hoists her up, DOMINATE-HER!! Cover, Kamille wins!
Winner: Kamille, by pinfall
The Brickhouse just dropped “The Truth” on Robyn, and The Truth hurts! But will everyone in the Women’s Division have to face The Truth that Kamille is the new alpha around here?
Christopher Daniels speaks.
“It’s no secret that I’ve had my problems with The Elite this past year. And ever since I became Interim EVP, I’ve done my best to offset The Elite abusing their power here in AEW. But I haven’t forgotten that I’m still a professional wrestler at heart. And now, Jack Perry has this Open Challenge for the TNT Championship. And I would never ask anybody in this locker room to fight a battle that I wasn’t prepared to fight myself. So let me put it to you plainly, Jack Perry. How about tomorrow night, you VS me for the TNT Championship? And lemme give you a little advice: You better pack a lunch, cuz I’m coming to kick your ass.”
The Fallen Angel is rising to the challenge! Will he turn The Scapegoat into the sacrifice he so badly wants to be? Or will Jack Perry still be the Face of TNT?
Roderick Strong w/ The Kingdom VS BEEF w/ Anthony Henry!
The Savior of the Backbreaker has called Hook out over the FTW Championship, and Hook responded just the other night on Dynamite. That battle is coming, and Roddy is even talking trash on the way to the ring that he’ll be making an example of his opponent tonight. Will Roddy use Anthony Henry’s second-cousin-in-law to send a message to the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?
Beef offers a handshake, Roddy refuses, and Beef remembers this is Rampage, not ROH. The bell rings and Beef circles with Roddy. They tie up, Roddy wrenches and wristlocks. Roddy slaps Beef around, lets off, and he soaks up heat in the corner. Henry coaches Beef, Beef and Roddy reset and circle. They tie up, Roddy waistlocks then headlocks. Beef powers up and out, then he runs Roddy over! The fans fire up for Beef, but Roddy kicks the leg! Roddy CHOPS and ROCKS Beef, then ROCKS him again. Beef ROCKS Roddy in return! And again, and again, and again! The fans fire up, and Beef whips, only for Roddy to reverse!
Beef cartwheels past Roddy to DROPKICK! The fans fire up with Beef, and he hopes Henry saw that. Roddy KNEES Beef low! Roddy fires forearms while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Roddy reels Beef in, but then Beef suplexes first! Roddy slips free, CLUBS Beef, then runs, into a HIP ATTACK! Beef says kiss this while Roddy tumbles out of the ring! The Kingdom check son Roddy, but Beef steps to the apron. Henry tells The Kingdom to back off, but Roddy gets up to ENZIGIRI Beef! And then APRON BACK SUPLEX! That’s a lot of Beef hitting the edge, and The Kingdom is all fired up! Henry tells them to back off, and he checks his second cousin by marriage. Roddy pushes Beef in, stomps him around, then CLUBS him. Beef staggers, Roddy CHOPS him! Beef staggers along the ropes, but Roddy CHOPS him again!
Roddy ROCKS Beef in a corner, Beef gets his guard up but Roddy pie faces him. Beef pushes Roddy, then fires haymakers! Beef kicks low, but Roddy drop toeholds to drop an elbow! Beef writhes, sits up, and Roddy CHOPS him! Roddy clamps onto a chinlock and he squeezes tight! Beef endures, fights up, and he JAWBREAKERS free! Roddy staggers back, returns, but Beef NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Roddy ROCKS Beef and Beef falls hard into a corner! The Kingdom cheers, Beef shakes out the stars, and Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Roddy drags himself up with ropes on one end, Beef on the other. The fans rally up, Roddy storms up, but Beef ROCKS him first! And JABS! JABS! JABS! Beef keeps throwing hands, then winds up, to HAYMAKER! The fans fire up with Beef and he brings Roddy around. Underhook for the BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Roddy goes to a corner, Beef pumps up and runs in, LARIAT in the corner! Beef whips corner to corner, then LARIATS! Beef keeps moving, BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Roddy stays in this but the fans stay fired up for “BEEF! BEEF! BEEF!” Beef waits, CHOPS, and JABS!
Roddy goes to a corner, Beef CHOPS again! And ROCKS him again! Beef whips corner to corner, Roddy reverses, but Beef goes up and out! Beef hurries, blows through the lariat, but not the GAMANGIRI! Beef is stuck up top, Roddy goes up after him! Roddy brings Beef to the very tup, SUPER DUPER PLEX! Cover, TWO!! Beef survives and Lexington loves it! The Kingdom, however, does not. Roddy drags Beef up, reels him in, and fireman’s carries. Beef slips free, waistlocks, but Roddy bucks the O’Conner. Beef returns to SPLASH against ropes! The fans fire up, Henry even rallies, but then The Kingdom mugs Henry!
The fans boo as The Kingdom send Henry into railing! Beef still runs to CROSSBODY at the ropes! The #SloppySteak has been served, but Beef realizes what’s happening to his cousin! Beef runs up to CLOBBER The Kingdom! The fans fire up and Beef hurries back into the ring. Roddy STRONG KNEES him! Cover, Roddy wins!
Winner: Roderick Strong, by pinfall
The Kingdom used Beef’s family against him, and that is how Roddy comes away with the win. But if Roddy needed help eating up Beef, will he need all the help he can get when he and Hook battle it out?
The Righteous speak.
Ol’ Dutch says, “There’s always light after dark. You have to go through a dark place to find it, but it’s there waiting for you.” The image returns and Vincent says, “There’s a light in the AEW Tag Division. But for Vincent & Dutch, we’re that dimly lit candle that’s in the corner of the dark house. This might sound crazy to you, this might sound crazy to all of you, but the truth is, we’re all here because we’re not all there. You dig what I’m saying, man?” The Righteous sit down, and Dutch names The House of Black. Are the Righteous looking to light up The House? Or will Malakai, Brody & Buddy make sure even these two #FadeToBlack?
The Outcasts VS Allysin Kay & Marti Belle!
With Mariah May going on about her still-to-come glamorous championship celebration, and Mercedes Mone still holding onto two belts between two companies, it is anyone’s guess as to who gets their shots next. Will Saraya & Harley make sure they’re not on the outside looking in? Or will there be a Hex put on the AEW Women’s Division now that AK47 and The Voodoo Queen are here?
The teams sort out and Saraya starts against Marti. They tie up, and Marti fires off forearms! Marti puts Saraya in a corner, but Saraya bumps Marti off buckles from top to bottom! Saraya digs her boot in, stomps a mudhole, and lets off with a shout! The fans fire up, Saraya brings Marti up and ROCKS her. Saraya then backs off, distracts the ref, and that lets Harley thrash Marti around! Harley throws Marti down, Saraya sucker punches Allysin, and the ref has to hold Allysin back! Saraya gets to stomp away on Marti in that distraction, and then she bumps Marti off buckles. Tag to Harley, and she RAMS into Marti! And RAMS in again!
Harley digs her boot into Marti, then bumps Marti off buckles. Harley digs her boot in again, the ref counts, and Harley lets off. Harley runs up, Marti puts her on the apron, but Harley ROUNDHOUSES! Harley CLUBS Marti in the ropes, AX KICKS her, and then steps back in. Harley CHOKES Marti on ropes, the ref counts, but Harley lets off., Now Sararya gets cheap shots in! The fans are torn but Marti flops back. Harley tags Saraya, she tells fans to shut up, and she ROCKS Marti. Saraya whips Marti hard into railing, then she soaks up heat. The ref counts, Saraya drags Marti up and into the ring. Saraya drags Marti up and tags Harley back in.
Harley & Saraya mug Marti, and Harley digs her boot in. Harley lets off to run, roll, and come back. But Marti BOOTS Harley, ROCKS Saraya, but Harley drop toeholds! Harley grabs legs, but Marti BOOTS her away! Hot tag to AK! Allysin rallies on The Outcasts, FLAPJACK for Saraya! Allysin reels Harley in, but Saraya saves her from the Canadian Rack. Saraya then sucker punches Marti! Harley serves SOLE FOOD to Allysin, then she shrieks! Harley runs, Saraya tags, Harley SHINING WIZARDS! Harley covers but Saraya says sorry, she didn’t warn her. Saraya drags Allysin up, for the KNIGHT CAP! Cover, Outcasts win!
Winners: The Outcasts, by pinfall

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
With The Don Callis Family targeting The Elite’s gold, it was only natural to make a huge Six Man Tag match! Will Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita are going to face Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks, which side gains a major edge going into all the different title matches? Speaking The Don Callis Family…
Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis VS Action Andretti w/ Lio Rush & Leila Grey!
All Out’s Continental Championship was a Fatal 4 Way, so the odds weren’t in The Alpha’s favor, but he still doesn’t like that he lost. Plus, Kazuchika Okada had to go and taunt Konosuke on Dynamite, so now he’s in a worse mood. Will Konosuke take all his anger out on Action Andretti? Or will this be a Sight to See on a Friday night?

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall
A message sent to everyone, but especially Okada! Will The Don Callis Family, working in chorus with Will Ospreay, be able to bring down The Elite? Or will The Rainmaker put out Konosuke’s Raging Fire before they ever go 1v1?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage here, maybe even great, because there was even good stuff in what should’ve been throwaway matches. I love that they gave Beef a great showing against Roderick Strong, and Beef really can do some stuff. His charisma is automatic, he’s shown character on ROH, and Henry even got fired up for Beef, a story beat that only matters to those who watch ROH, but it was still cool to see. But of course The Kingdom get involved in a roundabout way so that Roddy can win. You can bet that’ll happen when it’s Hook VS Roddy for the FTW Championship under FTW Rules, a remix of Hook VS Jericho.
Also, great promo from The Kingdom with Dustin & Sammy to set up not just an ROH World Tag Team Championship match, but a Bunkhouse Brawl! So great to have that stipulation back, the last one was during Empty Arena Era. Can’t wait to see how wild they get next Saturday. Very good promo from The Righteous, did not think they’d call out The House of Black, but if they also bring Lance Archer into this, that’s a great Six Man Tag. And great promo from Christopher Daniels to make the TNT Championship match with Jack Perry. Logically, The Bucks can now call Daniels a hypocrite for taking this Open Challenge for himself. But anyway, Jack will definitely retain, and he’ll add a big name to his list of wins.
Great Six Man Tag for The Conglomeration VS Dark Order, in which The Conglomeration of course won. That gives Cassidy momentum into his match with Jericho on Dynamite, and I suppose that’ll be some good stuff. But it feels like Jericho wins that to avenge his jacket and his Bentley, and pushes this to like Grand Slam or the Dynamite Anniversary Show. It could even be a Six Man Tag, and Bill turns on Jericho over the whole “you’re being used” line from Dynamite. Good match for Kamille that she of course would win, and that’s a great name for her finisher, because it is a phrase you can use in promos and things like my write-up.
Very good tag match from The Outcasts VS The Hex, but of course Saraya & Harley win. Speaking of Jericho’s “you’re being used” line, Saraya is of course using Harley, she let Harley take another shot from Hayter. Hayter VS Saraya is itself a Grand Slam or Anniversary Show level match, that’ll be a lot of fun. And of course, great stuff in the main event. Action got to look great, it’s been a minute since he looked this good in a singles match, but of course Konosuke won. Them making a Six Man Tag of Elite VS Don Callis Family for Dynamite is some interesting stuff. I was theorizing on Wednesday that they might already start planting seeds of Callis kicking Fletcher out of the group, and if Fletcher were to take the loss to The Elite, those seeds could be planted early.
My Score: 8.7/10
