Darby Allin & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!

The Relentless One just went on a Rampage against The Butcher last night, but he wouldn’t be relentless if he took it easy. He teams up with the dazzling and equally death-defying luchador in what will surely be an amazing first-time-ever match-up! Will Darby and Hologram be red hot in these dog days of summer? Or will Tony Nese & Josh Woods finally put their money where their muscles are?

“Smart” Mark of course has to give the introductions for his team. “It’s no secret that this Texas residency has been a slack jawed nightmare for our team. Our opponents have been cheating, I’ve been assaulted, I have a broken arm, and the worst part is you people keep coming back and cheering for it!” Ariya Daivari says it is alright, because at least they get another shot at Hologram. Though this time, it seems he’s hiding behind Darby Allin! Darby paints his face black and white, but after tonight, he’ll be black and blue!

Woods & Nese move aside, Hologram dodges them to SOBAT, SLAP, and then he hops onto Nee!

Dustin Rhodes speaks.

“1978, my father put a bull rope on his wrist, set the standard for brutality. You do not take a Texas Bull Rope Match lightly. I’ve had my share, and you don’t agree to it unless you’re prepared to put your body through Hell, and drag your opponent with you. Thunder Rosa embodies the Texas spirit. A lifetime little warrior who looks each failure in the face and dares it to try again. Deonna Purrazzo is a ruthless mastermind. She can break your limb, knock you out, and still won’t stop until you beg.

“Twelve feet of raw rope, a brass cowbell in between that has beaten generations of men. And these two women on either end, looking to make violent history. Arlington ain’t gonna be the same after this.”

Texas Bull Rope Match: Thunder Rosa VS Deonna Purrazzo!

Both women are wearing white gear, all the better for when they draw blood. The ref helps strap them in, and the bell rings. The fans fire up already as Deonna and Rosa stare down. They start a tug-o-war and Rosa is winning that! But Deonna has the cowbell! Rosa dodges that to LARIAT! And LARIAT again! Rosa SENTONS onto Deonna, then rains down fists! The fans fire up but Deonna pushes Rosa away. Deonna bails out but the rope doesn’t let her go far! Rosa YANKS Deonna into the apron! And then she runs up to WRECK Deonna with a dropkick! Rosa then FOLEY ELBOWS to the floor! Rosa stomps Deonna, then drags her up to RAM her into steel steps!

The fans fire up and Rosa throws down hands on Deonna’s face! Rosa drags Deonna up, CHOPS her, and then stalks her along the way. Deonna shoves Rosa, then slides into the ring. Rosa pursues, dodges the haymaker, and hits a BACKSTABBER! The fans fire up, and Rosa drags Deonna into a drop zone. Rosa goes up the corner, but Deonna trips her up! Deonna then puts Rosa in the Tree of Woe to stomp away! Deonna goes the 12 feet she can, runs in, but Rosa sits up to avoid the dropkick! Deonna drags Rosa down but Rosa goes out the other side! They tug-o-war, with the post in between! Deonna YANKS Rosa into the post!

The fans boo as Deonna has the cowbell, and she CLOBBERS Rosa! The fans boo more but Deonna soaks up the heat. Deonna brushes the cameras aside to talk smack on fans, then she fires hands on Rosa! Rosa is busted open by the cowbell, but Deonna HAMMERS away! Rosa slumps to the floor while Collision goes picture in picture.

Deonna backs off, and goes looking under the ring. Deonna doesn’t find what she wants, so she goes around the corner to CLUB Rosa. Deonna now finds what she wants, and she puts chair after chair into the ring. Rosa stands, but Deonna CLOBBERS her! The crimson mask is growing, and now Deonna brings out a TABLE! Deonna puts the table in the ring, then puts Rosa in there. Deonna works to put the table in a corner while Rosa sputters by the chairs. Deonna storms over, bumps Rosa off buckles, then gathers the chairs. Deonna brings Rosa out, goes up the corner, and then reels Rosa in using the rope.

Deonna CHOKES Rosa with the bull rope, and Rosa flails! The ref can only ask if Rosa gives up, but Rosa says no! Collision returns to single picture, and Rosa fires hands from below! Then Rosa ROCKET LAUNCHES Deonna onto the chairs! The fans fire up and Rosa covers, TWO!! Deonna survives, but now Rosa wedges a chair in the corner. Rosa throws hands on Deonna, and RAMS her into the chair! The fans fire up as Rosa shoves the chair into Deonna’s face! Rosa goes 12 feet, to FULL METAL DROPKICK the chair into Deonna! The fans are thunderous as Rosa is raging! Rosa then has the chair, to SMACK Deonna on the back! Rosa covers, TWO!!

Deonna survives and now she’s the one busted open! Rosa goes to a corner, climbs up, and the fans fire up. But Deonna trips Rosa again! Deonna puts Rosa back in the Tree of Woe to JAM her with the chair over and over! Deonna throws the chair away in a rage, and she vows to end this! Deonna runs in, and she RAMS Rosa out of the Tree! Cover, TWO!! Rosa survives, the fans want the table, but Deonna KNEES Rosa in the side. Deonna goes to the table, props it up, and she goes back to Rosa. Rosa looks up at her defiantly, so Deonna whips Rosa! Rosa stops herself, kicks Deonna, and reels her in! TORNADO- NO, Deonna stops that!

Deonna BOOTS Rosa, brings her in, and POWERBOMBS her! Deonna drags Rosa back up, slashes her throat, and GOTCH LIFT PILEDRIVERS!! Cover, TWO!!! Rosa barely survives that and Deonna is beside herself. Deonna has her own crimson mask growing but she goes back to the table. Deonna places it closer to center, standing it up properly. Rosa crawls her way over, blood still flowing, but Deonna puts her on the table. Deonna CLUBS away on Rosa with the cowbell! Again, and again, and again! Deonna then climbs the corner, but Rosa ROCKS her! Rosa climbs up after Deonna, gives back those cowbell shots, then BULLDOGS through the table!!

The fans are thunderous and Rosa roars! Rosa drags Deonna up to scoop and FIRE THUNDER DRIVER!! Cover, Rosa wins!!

Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall

Finally, emphatically, and violently, Rosa stands tall over Deonna! Is this the end of the saga between La Mera Mera and Virtuosa? Will Rosa be primed for a title match after All In?

 

The Outrunners make a video.

Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd take what they want, when they want! They bully some dude out of his hot dogs, and then do exercises in the park.  They’re coming for your pride and your dreams! If you haven’t seen The Outrunners, then you ain’t seen nothing yet! But will these throwbacks be able to get with the times? Or will FTR #ForgetTheRetro and still be the Top Guys?

FTR VS The Outrunners!

The teams sort out and Dax Harwood starts against Truth. They tie up, go around, and Dax hits a headlock takeover. Truth hits the headscissors, Dax kips free, and Truth flexes. The fans rally, Dax tags to Cash. Cash flexes and the fans cheer! Truth and Cash tie up, Truth headlocks but Cash powers up and out. Cash hurdles, drops down, but Truth CLOBBERS Cash!

A valiant effort from Truth & Turbo, but there’s no stopping Dax & Cash on their road to redemption! However, BREAKING NEWS, AEW Dynamite will see The Young Bucks return and defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Acclaimed! Will Matthew & Nicholas Jackson stay on top? Or will Max Caster & Anthony Bowens prove they are the best in the world today?

 

Backstage interview with Kip Sabian.

Lexy Nair is with Superbad and says he explicitly told Nick Wayne to come find him. However, wasn’t it Kip who went and “found” Nick? Kip says he just wants back in the action! But this is more than about him. This is about his family, about his dad, about- Nick walks in. Nick asks why Kip is ignoring the question. Or more importantly, why is Kip still in Nick’s business? Is Kip obsessed with him or something? Not that Nick blames Kip. Nick is the youngest champion in AEW history. And after five years, Kip is still a nobody. But no more games. Kip will end it next Friday on Rampage as they go 1v1.

And Nick adds that Kip’s dad definitely died a loser, so he’ll make sure Kip goes out the same way. Christian Cage’s Prodigy is just as awful a person, but will he see he’s not better than Superbad?

 

AEW shares footage from after Wednesday Night Dynamite.

MJF asks if everyone saw that! That is the difference between a “foreign freak like Will Ospreay, and an American Hero, MJF.” MJF is referring to how he defeated Kyle Fletcher. Ospreay simply watched Kyle get decimated by the greatest champion in the world, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF doesn’t let his brothers in arms get hurt. He cares about his friends and about his country. Ospreay is inferior to a true American like MJF! But Ospreay knows the truth. He was trapped in his room. Kyle does have to ask Ospreay why he won’t just hit “that move?” Ospreay asks Kyle if he was in that match with Bryan Danielson.

Bryan is a man Ospreay looked up to, and he dropped that man on his head and neck! And for weeks, Bryan couldn’t pick up his child! Ospreay does NOT want to hit such a move. Even if MJF is a piece of crap, nobody deserves to take that move. Kyle says if there is one person to deserve that move, it’s MJF. MJF has now called out another of Ospreay’s friends in Michael Oku of Rev-Pro in the UK! MJF vows to destroy Oku as another example to Ospreay. MJF will do what Ospreay cannot, and hit a Tiger Driver 91! Then MJF will do that to Ospreay, too! The American Hero says nothing but facts, so thank him later.

 

Rush VS Preston Vance!

Don Callis told El Toro Blanco that if he truly wants to be the best, he has to be willing to do anything, and do it to anyone. Perro Peligroso used to be Rush’s amigo, but will he simply be a dangerous dog that Rush puts down?

The bell rings and Vance gets in Rush’s face. They argue over what they’re even doing here, and Vance lifts the Ungovernable fist! Rush says okay, and then he DECKS Vance! Don Callis is watching backstage, and he likes what he sees already. Rush CHOPS Vance, whips him, but Vance dodges to LARIAT! And LARIAT again! Rush ducks ‘n’ dodges but runs into a SPINEBUSTER! Vance roars, Rush bails out, but Vance CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS! Repeat! Vance whips Rush but Rush reverses to send Vance into railing! Rush then whips Vance into more railing! And then back into more railing!

The fans rally as Rush dribbles Vance’s face off the railing! Rush CLUBS and HEADBUTTS, and even BITES Vance’s face! The ref reprimands, Rush lets off, and Vance flounders. Rush refreshes the ring count, and he grabs a chair. Rush sets it nearby to then stand Vance up. Vance is bleeding, and Rush tastes the blood! Rush SMACKS Vance off the chair! And again, and again, and again! Rush puts Vance in, then he revels in the cheers. Rush storms in, the fans rally behind him, and Rush scuffs Vance. Rush tells Vance to fight, so Vance grabs him by the neck! Rush CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Vance ROCKS Rush! Vance runs, Rush sidesteps to SNAP GERMAN!

Vance is right up, Rush runs but into a SPEAR! Cover, TWO! Vance drags Rush up, but Rush fights the nelson to ELBOW! Vance DISCUS LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Vance seethes but Rush is in a corner. Vance says you mess with the bull, you get the horns! But then Rush OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEXES Vance! Rush scuffs, kicks, and HEADBUTTS away on Vance’s bloody forehead! The ref counts, Rush lets off, and the fans rally again. Rush runs, and he proves Vance right! BULL’S HORNS!! Cover, Rush wins!

Winner: Rush, by pinfall

A fast ‘n’ furious fight from both men, and Callis is very impressed. Will Rush finally start to see things Don’s way? Speaking of, Rush sees Vance is still moving… Rush storms back into the ring, for BULL’S HORNS!! Vance sputters but Rush goes looking under the ring. Rush finds his favorite camera cables, but the ref stops him! More refs hurry out here before this gets any worse! Rush tells Callis that this is what he wanted, so it’s time for Rush to get what he wants! Will Rush soon be El Campeon de AEW?

 

Jack Perry watches back tape.

Specifically, Darby setting him on fire at Double or Nothing, and Darby wanting to set him on fire at Blood & Guts. “Everything in life has a price. The question is how much you’re willing to sacrifice for it.” Darby was TNT Champion, and he wants to be TNT Champion again. There is footage of other TNT Champions in the mix, such as Adam Copeland, Samoa Joe, Sammy Guevara and Scorpio Sky. “Those who shape the future carry the burden of destroying the past.” Jack SMASHES the screens with a fire ax! And only The Scapegoat remains. Will he make sure that’s how it is after All In?

 

AEW World Championship Eliminator Open Challenge: Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS ???

Firstly, The Realest has Bryan Danielson to prepare for at All In. Secondly, he’s going to face Wheeler Yuta this Wednesday on Dynamite as part of that preparation. So then, is this just the champ getting ready to show off? Or is he about to regret gambling before going All In?

Swerve gets a mic to ask Arlington, Texas, “What’s going on?” The fans cheer and chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says they could not honestly think they’d have the All In Summer Series at the Esports Stadium without THE AEW World Champion showing up. Two weeks from now, the main event of All In London will be Swerve Strickland VS Bryan Danielson. And in those two weeks, Swerve owns Bryan’s legacy. Until then, time for a warm up! Until then, Swerve gives this Open Challenge. So to whoever is coming out here, just understand, you’re stepping into Whose House? SWERVE’S HOUSE!

So then, ladies and gentlemen, whoever they’re sending out, Nana hopes they know they’re facing the most dangerous man in AEW. Wait, Tomohiro Ishii!? This is no longer just a “warm up!” Is the Stone Pitbull about to make Swerve’s House into his dog house?

The bell rings, the fans rally up and the two step up. They tie up, Ishii headlocks, Swerve powers up and out. Ishii RAMS Swerve, but Swerve and Ishii each bob ‘n’ weave, block and duck!

Ishii fires body shots, powers up and out, then Swerve RAMS Ishii! Ishii rebounds, Swerve hurdles and capoeria RANAS! Ishii ends up in a corner, Swerve runs up but Ishii puts him on the apron. Swerve BODY SHOTS Ishii first, then steps in to SHOTGUN! The fans fire up as Swerve stands tall.

Swerve storms over to Ishii, covers, TWO! Ishii’s tougher than that, but Swerve drags Ishii into a chinlock. The fans rally, even bark, as Ishii fights up. Ishii pries the hold open but Swerve clamps it on tighter. Ishii back suplexes, Swerve lands out and avoids a chop to headlock again. Ishii powers out, Swerve goe sup but Ishiis tays back to DECK Swerve! Swerve kips up to ROCK Ishii! Swerve runs, but gets run over! The fans fire up and Nana is a bit surprised. Ishii storms over to Swerve, drags him up, and CHOPS! Ishii CHOPS again, and Swerve drops to his knees. Ishii brings Swerve back up but Swerve mule kicks!

Swerve runs, comes back, and he dropkicks a leg out! The fans cheer, Swerve pushes Ishii around, and even scuffs him. The fans rally for Ishii and he gets up in a huff!

Swerve makes it through the Stone Pitbull, and now he looks to break The Decoder. Swerve says these are all just appetizers, but will he still have room for the full course at All In?

 

Claudio Castagnoli speaks.

The Swiss Superman reviews how he, Claudio Castagnoli, won the Continental Collision to become contender to the Continental Championship that was introduced in the Continental Classic. Now that may come off as a tongue twister for most, but don’t get it twisted. Claudio wants that gold before we do another “C2” later this year. And Claudio has a great idea for a place and a time. How about the first-ever Dynamite IN Europe? Continental Championship combat in Cardiff! If that was too fast for Okada to keep up, don’t worry. Claudio will see him this Wednesday on Dynamite.

 

Lexy Nair is in the ring.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time, Kris Statlander & Stokely Hathaway.” Stokely says get on your feet because every night is #StaturdayNight! Big Stoke & The Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor make their way to the ring. Lexy brings up the ongoing issues between them and Willow Nightingale. Last night on Rampage, Willow spoke about these issues with Renee Paquette, and how to resolve them. We watch a quick clip from that, and Willow found out that Ishii isn’t much for Stokely. Willow implied she has an idea, so BREAKING NEWS! It will be Willow & Ishii VS Kris and- Stoke stops Lexy their, he knows exactly what this “idea” is!

Stokely wants to just say that it is tacky, reprehensible, and disgusting that Willow needs some “short, bald guy” following her around to do her bidding! Stoke & Kris are from New York, they have all the connections they need! As far as a tag partner goes, they can go to The Bronx to get a partner! They can go to the dojos in Harlem to get Kris a partner! They can- Lexy has Stokely hold on. In this specific match, there is a specific partner in mind: Stokely himself. The fans like the sound of that! Stokely looks to Kris with concern, and then he laughs. People say he’s funny, but that’s funny. Stokely says there’s no way, and Kris says, “that we’re gonna pass this up.”

Kris ACCEPTS the challenge! Stokely isn’t sure this is going to work out, but will he finally pay for everything he’s done in tearing apart the friendship of Willow and Kris?

 

Backstage interview with Top Flight.

Lexy Nair is now with Action Andretti, Dante & Darius Martin, and the “Top Flight Attendant,” Leila Grey. She brings up that The MXM Collection have requested time to speak with them, yet Lexy isn’t sure where Mansoor & Mason Madden are. Leila points out that they’re right over there. Pan over, and MXM rises up from the ground, to pose! Mansoor & Mason were here the entire time. But to take it from the top gun, they’ll speak from the soul plane. Because they don’t wanna be a couple of snakes on a plane, they are just going to say they’re sorry. Sorry that they didn’t make more fun of their stupid haircuts! HAHAHAHAHA!

Who is their barber? Helen Keller? HAHAHAHAHA! Action says ENOUGH. Top Flight is done watching the Maximum Male Barbies speak this nonsense! Talk is cheap, like that chain. And isn’t Mansoor a little short to be a model? So how about MXM walks down that runway to meet them in the ring tonight? They’d love to, but Mansoor broke a nail, he is not cosmetically cleared to compete! Is he ever? Mansoor & Mason are flustered, so this interview is over! Lio Rush steps in to say hold on, he has a question. MXM flies together a lot, but who gets the middle seat? Mansoor or “Stretch?” STRETCH!? No, he’s tight! Really tight!

Lio asks them to read this message. It says, “Hey, Lio. It’s TK. Tell the guys when you see them, it’s Top Flight VS MXM Collection next week on Collision.” Now that is tight. MXM storms off, to then “go down the elevator.” Well, will Mansoor & Mason make sure next week’s Collision is stylish and sophisticated? Or will they just get a one class ticket to another loss?

 

Hikaru Shida VS Aleah James!

The Shining Samurai is fighting her way back up towards championship opportunities, and she isn’t about to stop now. Will Shida carve a path right back to the title scene? Or will little Discocita from Essex have quite the debut?

The bell rings, the two tie up, and Shida powers Aleah right to ropes. The ref counts, Shida lets off, and the fans rally behind her. Aleah comes back, they tie up again. and go around. Shida puts Aleah in a corner, lets off, and brushes herself off. Aleah runs up, gets around, and fires forearms! Aleah whips, Shida reverses but Aleah reverses back. Shida goes up and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Then Shida fires up to waistlock and GERMAN SUPLEX! Shida holds on, rolls Aleah, and has the ARMBAR! Aleah stacks Shida but Shida slips around to gator roll, roll back, GUILLOTINE! Aleah endures so Shida BUZZSAWS! Cover, TWO!!

Aleah survives, but Shida doesn’t let off! Shida suplexes but Aleah fights free to RANA! Aleah runs, but into a JUMP KNEE! Shida hauls Aleah up to FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!

Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall

The Shining Samurai did the deal and that’s another one in the win column! But who will Shida be aiming for after All In?

 

Jim Ross has a sit-down interview with Bryan Danielson.

Just as he did with Swerve, Good ol’ JR is now with The American Dragon. And JR asks Bryan how he counts his success and assesses his journey. Bryan says it has been quite incredible. When JR signed Bryan to the WWE roughly 24 years ago, and the contract had their names at the bottom of it, that was wild. That was the most mind-blowing thing. And now, 2024, Bryan is ending his career, and it is just an honor to be here with JR. Looking back, it just feels like there are these moments that he’ll never quite understand. How’d he get so lucky to do these things with these great people? Just blessings all over.

JR does acknowledge Bryan’s body has been failing slowly over these 24 years. What does Bryan think of when it comes to that? From neck to arms to knees. Bryan mostly worries about his neck and the concussions. Those are the things he really has to worry about. But he also thinks about how his body has served him well. He’s put it through a lot. A lot of wrestlers who have wrestled for a long period of time, they didn’t do the crazy stuff Bryan did just to get noticed on the indies. And he sure got noticed. Looking back, Bryan wonders what he was thinking, but he knows those were things he had to do.

So looking back, and even how he feels now, he’ll need neck surgery before the end of this year. That is just the reality of it. It is something he has accepted. It is coming down the pipe. Then is he prepared to do what it’ll take to win against a hungry, driven champion? A wrestler always thinks they are. Bryan has had four chances before to win the world title, and if you had asked him each time if he was ready, he would’ve said yes. And then each time, Bryan failed. But each time he failed, he learned something about himself. So now, despite being 25 years in, Bryan is the best mentally he has ever been.

If you have to ask Bryan what it is going to be the difference maker, it is that Bryan is the mentally strongest he’s ever been, and that will pull him through. Is The American Dragon ready in mind, body and spirit for not just his biggest but his last opportunity to become AEW World Champion?

 

Backstage interview with Hikaru Shida.

Lexy congratulates her on her win tonight, and says she wanted this time to speak. Shida says the last time she spoke with Lexy, it was after facing Britt Baker. Britt got that win on Dynamite. Shida congrats Britt, because they’re now 2-2. One day, they’ll settle the score. So for now, Shida NEEDS real competition, and a chance to go to Wembley. And the last chance is… MERCEDES MONE. Mone says Britt is the first but not the best? Yeah, that’s true. SHIDA is the best! Shida is a THREE-TIME Women’s’ World Champion, the longest reigning AEW Women’s World Champion ever, and the Ace of AEW!

So CEO, put that title on the line this Wednesday, and after Shida takes that title, then it will be her and Britt at Wembley. The Shining Samurai is willing to go All In, but will she be right on the money with this gamble?

 

AEW World Trios Championships #1 Contenders Match, Special Guest Referee Christian Cage: The Bang Bang Gang VS The House of Black!

Captain Charisma said it last week that this is quite the conundrum. Juice Robinson & The Gunns were AEW World Trios Champions, so they are owed a rematch. But now that Buddy Matthews is back, he, Brody King & Malakai Black want to reestablish their status as contenders. So like the “good father” he is, Christian is taking charge! He has a ref stripe turtleneck for the occasion, but will he be completely and absolutely unbiased towards these teams?

The trios sort out and Juice starts against Brody. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Brody puts Juice against ropes, then in a corner. Christian counts the break, Brody lets off, but then Juice headlocks. Brody powers up and out, then he RAMS Juice down! Brody barks, Juice shoves, so Brody shoves back! Austin tags in, but everyone steps in! Christian steps between them all and he actually is being a fair authority. Bang Bang Gang cools off, as does The House, and Malakai tags in. Malakai and Austin circle, feel things out, and tie up. Malakai wrenches Austin, wristlocks, then headlocks.

Austin powers up and out, Malakai rolls to kick, but Austin blocks! Malakai BOOTS, Austin rebounds, ducks ‘n dodges to get a leg, but Malakai wrenches free. Tag to Buddy and he goes up top, to DOUBLE STOMP Austin’s arm! The fans cheer, and Buddy stares Christian down. After all, it was The Patriarchy who jumped Buddy and sidelined him. But Christian reminds Buddy that right now, he’s the ref, they can’t touch him. Buddy still gets right in Christian’s face, but Brody has Buddy back away. Juice calls to Christian because Bang Bang Gang wants a tag. Colten tags in, then he rolls Buddy, ONE!

Buddy rolls Colten, TWO! A faster count, but still not enough. Buddy hits a headlock takeover, Colten headscissors and Buddy kips free. Colten sweeps, covers, ONE! Buddy sweeps and covers, ONE! The fans cheer and Collision goes picture in picture.

Buddy and Colten circle, tie up with knuckle locks, then Buddy shoots around to waistlock. Colten switches, goes to ropes, but Buddy bucks the O’Conner Roll. Buddy TOSSES Colten, BOOTS him, then runs, only for Juice to be in the way. Christian reprimands, Colten returns, but Buddy DUMPS him out! And then AX HANDLES to the floor! Buddy stares down Juice & Austin, then goes back for Colten. Buddy wrenches to CHOP! The fans are torn, but Buddy puts Colten back in the ring. Buddy goes up the corner, but Austin distracts him! Christian reprimands Austin but Colten SHOVES Buddy down! Buddy hits railing, Austin tags in!

Austin drags Buddy up, and brings him around to whip hard into railing! Austin fires up, drags Buddy back into the ring, and then tags Juice. Bang Bang Gang mugs Buddy, then Juice snap suplexes Buddy, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Juice turns Buddy for a NECKBREAKER! The fans chant for “TURTLENECKS! TURTLENECKS!” Juice covers, ONE! Juice complains Christian wasn’t fast enough, and he tags in Colten. Bang Bang Gang mugs Buddy, then Austin tags in. Austin tags Juice back in, Colten whips Austin in to forearm SMASH! Juice sends Colten in to STINGER SPLASH! Then the Gunns feed Buddy to a LEG LARIAT! Juice covers, TWO! Juice is annoyed, but he drags Buddy up by an ear. Buddy pulls hair! Christian reprimands them both, but doesn’t do much more than that. Juice then HEADBUTTS Buddy down!

Juice runs to STRADDLE ATTACK Buddy on the ropes! The fans fire up for #RockHardRobinson, and he CHOKES Buddy on ropes! Christian counts fast, and Juice lets off at 4. The fans rally, Juice drags Buddy around, and “pees” like a dog! The fans are torn but The House is pissed. Christian has them stay back, Buddy fights back against Bang Bang Gang! Buddy DUMPS Juice, ELBOWS Austin, BOOTS Juice then KNEES Colten! The fans fire up as Buddy crawls for the corner! But The Gunns are back! Christian stops them, but he misses the tag! The fans boo but Christian warns Brody to back down!

The Bang Bang Gang mugs Buddy, the fans chant “REF YOU SUCK!” Juice sends Colten in but Buddy TOSSES him! Juice tires but Buddy DUMPS him! Buddy BOOTS Austin, ELBOWS the others, but Austin keeps Buddy from the corner! Austin whips Buddy to the corner, runs in, but only gets buckles! Buddy crawls, but Austin runs to intercept! Only for Buddy to POP-PU KNEE! The path is clear, hot tag to Malakai! The fans fire up as The DARK Father is in, and The Bang Bang Gang narrowly avoids The End! Malakai dodges Colten, BOOTS Juice, then ELBOWS Colten. Juice runs up, Malakai fires off a strike fest, and sweeps the leg!

Colten whips, Malakai goes up the corner to KNEE Colten down! Malakai goes up and out, tags Brody, then MOONSAULTS Juice! Then QUEBRADA for Austin! Malakai whips Austin to a corner, Brody runs to SPLASH! Austin flops down, the fans bark it up, and The House of Black takes corners. Juice saves Austin, but then Brody DIVES onto the whole gang!! The fans are thunderous and Brody says “The House Always Wins!” Christian tries to restore order while Collision goes picture in picture.

Brody stalks back out there to stand Colten up. Brody CHOPS Colten, then he does the same to Austin! Buddy fetches Juice to RAM him into railing! Christian tells them to get this in the ring, but Brody grabs a chair! Christian reprimands Brody, but Buddy THROWS Juice back into railing! Brody fires knees on COlten and sits him down next to Austin. Buddy ROCKS Juice, Malakai & Brody mug The Gunns, and now the whole gang is together in the corner. The fans rally as The House lines up the shot. Brody TRIPLE CROSSBODIES Bang Bang Gang against the railing!! The fans love it, and Brody drags Austin from the pile.

Brody CHOPS Austin, puts him in the ring, and then storms in. Brody TOSSESS Austin right back out! Austin is down on the ground, but Brody goes out to fetch him again. Collision returns to single picture, and Brody puts Austin in. Brody drags Austin up, CHOSP him again, then whips him to the corner. Austin BLASTS The House! The fans rally, Austin dodges Brody to hot tag Colten! Tag to Juice, and Juice JABS away on Brody! LEFT HAND O’ GOD, and then a DROPKICK from Colten! Malakai is up, Colten LARIATS him down! #GunsUp, and Colten SPLASHES Brody! Juice CANNONBALLS Brody!

Colten JUMP PUNCHES Brody down, Juice SENTONS on top! Cover, TWO! Brody survives and Juice is upset. Ironically, Christian’s count was fair there. Austin tags in, he and Colten line up a shot, but Brody’s too big to go to Yuma! Brody BOOTS Austin, BOOTS Juice, then fireman’s carries Colten! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Malakai is up top, he DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS! Brody runs to LARIAT Colten down! Cover, Bang Bang Gang breaks it! Buddy & Malakai run in but they get sent out! Juice drags Colten over, Austin tags in, and Austin lines up a shot to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Brody just gets mad!

Brody DECKS Austin! The fans fire up and Brody drags Austin up. Brody whips Austin to a corner but Austin goes up and over! Juice is in, 3:10 TO YUMA!! Cover, Buddy breaks it!! Buddy whips, Austin reverses to send Buddy out! Austin has Buddy in ropes, DRAPING FAMOUSER! But THE END hits Austin! Colten runs up, spins Malakai, COLT 45!! But Brody is there! Colten dodges once, but not the BLACK HOLE SLAM on the return! Juice has Brody, JUICE IS LOOSE! But the METEORA takes Juice down! All six men are down so Christian starts a standing count! The fans are thunderous, and we’re already at 5 of 10!

The count is going pretty quick, but Buddy stands at 9! SPEAR from Christian!!! And he says that’s TEN! So count it out!!

Double TKO

Oh well NOW Christian screws everyone over! And here comes The Patriarchy! Nick Wayne & Killswitch-Luchasaurus beat down all six men with CHAIRS! As does Christian! The fans boo this Esports Stadium Screw Job! Even Mother Wayne gets involved, using her hairspray as mace on Juice! The fans boo more, but now Luchasaurus & Christian whip Austin hard into a corner! Austin tumbles up and out to the floor! Nick then goes out to hit WAYNE’S WORLD to the floor! Then Christian CHOP BLOCKS Buddy’s leg! He wants to reinjure Buddy, he SMASHES the leg with a chair!

The fans boo as Luchasaurus drags Colten up, CHOKE SLAM onto a chair! Christian has his “sons” stand Malakai up, and they bring him around for the chicken wings. FULL METAL KILLSWITCH!!! The AEW World Trios Champions stand tall above their competition, but surely someone in AEW management will fix this miscarriage of justice! Or will The Patriarchy always get their way?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, and while talky as usual, we did get some great stuff set up for All In. After Ishii gives Swerve a great match tonight, they were very quick to officially booking Ishii & Willow VS Stokely & Statlander in a Mixed Tag for All In’s Zero Hour. And a good promo from Claudio to not just hype up the face-to-face with Okada, but to set up a title match for Dynamite in Cardiff. Not for All In because All In is already shoved full of stuff, but for the go-home episode. It’s like Claudio understands that AEW PPVs need to trim down a bit. But he also kinda brushed over how the Continental Classic is returning later this year, though I suppose what else was going to happen?

Speaking of Swerve, Bryan gets to have his interview to parallel Dynamite. The interview doesn’t add much, other than that it is wild to think Bryan’s been active since 2000. And they did kind of bury the lead that win, lose or draw, Bryan’s going to need neck surgery and that alone would basically put an end to Bryan’s wrestling career. Swerve has momentum going into Dynamite, and he’ll certainly win against Yuta, but I’m not sure what Bryan is to do in the last couple of weeks. I suppose Swerve defying go-home math wouldn’t be the worst thing, though. With everything planned past All In, it still makes sense if it is Swerve VS Darby at Grand Slam.

Darby and Hologram got a great win off The Premier Athletes, and I like Hologram’s updated ring gear. The silver they used in his first gear just came off as bland grey, so now he wears black and white with green trim, a much better look. I appreciate they replayed Jack Perry’s promo from Dynamite minus the Taco Bell interruption, not that it changed anything. Outrunners had a goofy video that was made to be very 1980s, though it should’ve been 4:3 ratio to match. Great showing from The Outrunners against FTR, but of course FTR won. Though, them just dropping the news of AEW World Tag Team Championships on Dynamite, that’s a big move to do.

At the same time, them shying away from Acclaimed VS FTR at this time is disappointing. Make that the match for next Wednesday, winner goes to All In to face Bucks, the loser waits until All Out or something. Because duh, how is that not obvious to TK? Though it seems he can “text” Lio Rush to announce Top Flight VS MXM, another obvious move. Hilarious promo from them all, though, and that match will be great stuff. But then there’s also the odd move of Shida challenging Mone for the TBS Championship, which we know she isn’t winning. Not sure the point other than to give Mone momentum to face Britt.

Great Texas Bull Rope Match, including the hype video from Dustin just before it. Rosa winning out makes all the sense since she lost all the other matches against Deonna under controversial finishes. I feel like Rosa is going to be primed for a TBS Championship match against whoever comes away from All In, especially if it is Britt. Rush VS Vance also went how I expected. Sure was a lot of blood tonight between Rosa, Deonna and Vance, but this was Rush bringing that mean streak back out and doing as Callis wanted. If Darby wins the TNT Championship, I could see Rush being his first challenger.

Good promo from MJF, Ospreay and Kyle, and Rev-Pro will surely get themselves a great moment with Oku, MJF and Ospreay at their show. I appreciate they’re keeping the Tiger Driver 91 a pivotal detail. All this pressure from Ospreay’s friends will probably push him as close to using that move as he has since facing Bryan. Him not using it against MJF weeks ago was the reason he lost the title, so maybe Ospreay will give into his rage and use it again, winning the match but at a “moral” cost.

And then in the main event, we got a great Six Man Tag, Buddy looking good after his return from what was probably still more a kayfabe injury. After all, he and Rhea Ripley were out for the same amount of time, likely because of their wedding and honeymoon. That aside, it was not about if but when Christian Cage would find a way to screw over these teams. I have a feeling that TK and Christopher Daniels will be the authority figures that decide All In will see a Trios Triple Threat for the titles. And that has to be when Luchasaurus turns on Christian like fans have wanted since the Edge VS Christian TNT Championship feud.

My Scores: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Adam Cole is here!

Atlantic City fires up for the Panama City Playboy as he brings the AEW TNT Championship with him to ringside. As such, the fans of course join in with the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” But he isn’t here to talk, he’s here to watch this opening match!

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Lady Frost!

Timeless Toni continues her search for her next “costar,” and she’s crossing paths with the Coldest Wrestler You Know! But will Frost go from ice to gold? Or will she be crossed off the list during this “audition?”

The bell rings, the two shake hands, and the fans applaud. Toni and Frost circle, tie up, and Toni wrenches to wristlock. Frost grabs the ropes to flip through, and she wrenches back. Toni reaches back to headlock but Frost powers up and out. Toni runs Frost over, the fans cheer, but then Frost kips up! Things speed up. Frost handsprings but Toni sidesteps. Frost roll sunder a lariat to roll back and SWINGING headscissor! Toni tumbles out and the fans are torn, but Frost watches Toni go around the way. Frost goes to the apron, avoids the leg sweep, then CANNONBALLS to the floor!

The fans fire up and Frost goes up the barriers. Frost handsprings to MOONSAULT onto Toni! The fans fire up more and Frost puts Toni back in. Frost storms up on Toni to cover, TWO! Toni stays in this but Frost stays cool. Frost whips Toni but Toni hits a THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands, then fires up! The fans are with her and Toni stands Frost up. Toni scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Frost writhes but Toni brings her back up. Toni hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Toni doesn’t let that bother her. The fans rally as Toni brings Frost up to her feet.

Toni grabs Frost with both hands, but Frost turns that into a wheelbarrow! Victory roll, TWO! Things speed up, Frost ducks ‘n’ dodges and LARIATS! The fans fire up as Toni goes to a corner, Frost runs in, SNOWBALL! The fans fire up more and Frost pushes Toni. Frost goes out, BOOTS Toni, then steps in to slips around, and she ROCKS Toni! Frost climbs, aims, and TORNILLO CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Toni stays in this and the fans rally up again. Frost rises, goes back to the corner, and she climbs back up. But Toni grabs Frost first! Frost breaks free, Toni ROCKS her, and then hits a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!!

Frost survives but Toni just moves on to her closeup! The fans rally as Toni runs corner to corner, SWEET HIP- NO, Frost KICKS first! Cartwheel and Alabama Lift, CHILLER DRILLER!! Cover, TWO!! Toni survives and the fans fire up! The fans rally as Frost aims, but Toni ducks the buzzsaw! GERMAN SUPLEX! Frost flounders away, Toni runs up, UPPERCUT! Toni waits on Frost, then gives a very dramatic look. SWEET HIP MUSIC! Then a CHICKEN WING CROSSFACE!! Toni brings Frost down, Frost TAPS, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by submission (denies Frost a title match)

The #TCM, Toni’s Classic Move, wins it for her, and Luther hands her a mic. Toni rests on the mat while she says, “This Whore You All Adore… This Slut You Can’t Rebut… This tramp is still THE CHAMP! And my gawd, what a frosty little slop tart. Now I know there’s a fresh batch of tarts back there, wanting to take a shot at this wide load that holds the gold. Yes, that’s right. Everyone’s coming for Toni Storm. But you got it all wrong, darling! Toni Storm comes for everybody! So if you’re tits can take the hits, then I’m not a hard woman to find. I could be right here.” Then she goes outside and says she could be here, or here next to this man.

Or here, down the ramp. Here with this gentlemen, by the stage, or on this bloody boardwalk! Toni goes outside of the arena and says she will be ready, sweaty, here, queer, and TIMELESS~! Toni revels in the brisk evening air of the Atlantic City beach, but who will look to ruin all the fun?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

The Maniac AEW World Champion says, “When Katsuyori Shibata woke up on Wednesday morning, his fate was already sealed. He may as well have already been in the hospital. There’s nothing you can do about it, Joe, so I don’t want you to feel bad that all of the people closest to you are dropping like flies. And I struggle to find reasons to dislike Samoa Joe, I really do. The guy defined professional wrestling for a whole generation of us guys. He deserves the respect he commands. Samoa Joe is beyond reproach. But so was Bryan Danielson. Something to think about.

“Steel Cage for the world championship in Chicago. There’s this notion, this idea, that I should be scared to step into a steel cage with Samoa Joe. When you’re the world champion, every opponent is dangerous, every match is hard, every day is hard. I’m gonna do what I always do: my job. And I am exceptional at my job. You wanna lock me inside a steel cage? Lock it. Lock the door, man. This is always how this was gonna end. My affairs are in order. But if you subscribe to this notion that I should be scared, well then you haven’t been paying attention, Joe. You better make sure you thought things through.”

The Maniac has issued a warning, but will Joe even acknowledge it? Or will Joe make Moxley realize what fear really is?

 

$100,000 High Speed Fatal 4 Way: Rush VS Sammy Guevara w/ Dustin Rhodes VS AR Fox VS Kevin Knight!

Tony Khan’s dishing out more money, and each man has a 25% chance of bringing that jackpot home! Will El Toro Blanco, the Spanish God, the Whole Fox’n Show or The Jet be rolling in dough just in time for Mother’s Day?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for pretty much everyone in this match. All four men watch each other, then approach. Knight CLOBBERS Fox and Rush CLOBBERS Sammy! Rush and Knight then step up to each other. Knight fire a forearm but Rush eggs Knight on! The forearms go back and forth, then Rush CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Knight CHOPS! Rush CHOPS, and Rush wants Knight to man up! Knight CHOPS, Rush HEADBUTTS! Rush stomps away on Knight, stomps away, then “takes” Knight’s head to “punt” it into the crowd. Rush has the fans behind him right now as he and Knight speed up.

Knight drops down, then hurdles over, but Rush leaps! They keep moving, Knight scoops and SLAMS! Then UFO- NO, Rush moves! Rush arm-drags Knight, Knight arm-drags Rush, and then dropkicks cancel out! Both men kip up and the fans fire up! Cole is still on commentary, he likes this one, too. But then Fox and Sammy DROPKICK Rush and Knight out of the ring! The fans fire up for Fox and Sammy, Fox BOOST the lariat away to then tilt-o-whirl and waistlock. Sammy switches, Fox switches, and Fox shoves Sammy. Fox then blows past Sammy, but Sammy hurdles, backflips, and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up so Sammy takes a bow.

Sammy runs corner to corner at Fox and he RAMS Fox in the corner! Sammy goes out, slingshots in, but Fox slingshots out! Sammy crash lands and Fox slingshots back in, SENTON! The fans fire up again, and Fox catches Sammy’s punch! Fox also hooks a leg, ties those up, and hits a modified FISHERMAN BUSTER! Rush is back to SUPERMAN FOREARM! Sammy JUMP KNEES Rush! Knight springboards to FLYING LARIAT Sammy! The fans fire up again, and Knight runs up on Rush, only for Rush to OVERHEAD SUPLEX him into buckles! Knight crashes down, the fans rally up, and Collision goes picture in picture!

Dustin checks on Sammy and he’s alright. Knight drags himself up with the ropes but Rush runs up to BODY BLOW! Rush whips corner to corner, CHOPS, then sits Knight down. Rush runs corner to corner, runs back in, but feints Knight out to BOOT him! Rush soaks up cheers and jeers before he rolls back and tranquilo! Sammy sends Fox into barriers, Rush feeds off more energy, then Rush goes out to SMACK Fox down! Rush HEADBUTTS Sammy, then SMACKS Sammy off a chair! Dustin coaches Sammy but Rush stares Dustin down. The Natural tells Toro Blanco that there’s no problemo here.

Knight storms up on Rush, but Rush SMACKS Knight down! The fans applaud while Knight slumps against railing. Rush talks some trash, then he smothers Knight! The fans get a bit closer to the action like that, but then Fox runs up on Rush. Rush ROCKS Fox first, SMACKS him off railing, then goes back to Knight. Rush SMACKS Knight, brings him around, and pushes him along the barriers. Rush CHOPS Knight, but Knight CHOPS Rush! Rush CHOPS Knight! Knight staggers away while Rush revels in the cheers. Rush has Atlantic City all cheering him on, and he goes after Knight to KICK his leg! Knight hobbles, but Rush fires body shots!

Rush keeps after Knight, CHOKES him on the railing, and the ref reprimands. Rush doesn’t have to stop, but he does as Collision returns to single picture. Rush whips Knight, Knight reverses, and Rush hits steel steps! The fans fire up while Rush writhes. Knight and Fox are in the ring, and Fox BOOTS first! The fans rally for Fox now, but Knight puts him on the apron. Fox ROCKS Rush, jumps up, but Knight DROPKICKS him down! We can see in the rafters, glowing with blue light, that’s Hologram! The futuristic luchador is very invested as Knight builds speed to DIVE into a DDT from Fox! The fans fire up more as Fox now takes aim.

Fox springboards and IMPLODER 450 SPLASHES onto Knight! The fans fire up while both men go down! Fox brings Knight up but Knight fights the lift. Fox CLUBS Knight, but Sammy is up top! Sammy SUPER SHOOTING STARS! Down go Fox and Knight and the fans fire up with Sammy! But Rush DECKS Sammy! Rush whips Fox hard into railing! Rush then whips Fox to the other side, into more railing! Rush sends Sammy into steel steps! Rush has Knight, and he sends Knight into railing! Rush snarls, brings Knight around, and then suplexes! Knight fights free, gets around the steps, and he leaps off those steps to DROPKICK Rush!

The fans fire up with Knight, and he runs at Rush, only for Rush to THROW him at the ramp!! The fans fire up as Rush storms back up on Knight. They brawl up the ramp and to the stage! Then they go off into some shadowy corner! “This is Awesome!” as Sammy and Fox are now left in the ring. Hologram approves as Sammy torture racks. GO TO- NO, Fox dodges the knee, then goes Matrix to dodge the lariat! PELE! Sammy BOOTS back! Sammy goes up a corner, but Fox is after him, LO MEIN PAIN! And then a 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Sammy survives and the fans rally up! Fox puts Sammy in the center of the ring, but then goes to the corner?

Fox climbs, aims, SWANTON BOMB onto knees!! Sammy saves himself, torture racks, but Fox fights free! Roll up, TWO! Sammy is up, Fox goes Matrix again, but the JUMP KNEE finds him! Fox sputters, Sammy reels him in, GO TO HOSPITAL!! Cover, SAMMY WINS!

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by pinfall (wins the $100K prize)

Adam Cole applauds, and certainly Sammy’s family is happy he has this money. But Sammy points to Cole, then to the All In sign. Will this Son of Texas get to go All In for the TNT Championship? Will Hologram look to add himself to the mix before too long?

Samoa Joe speaks.

“Hello, Jon. I hope you’ll forgive me, I’m not there at Collision this week, but it’s only because I’m paying you respect by being here in my gym, preparing for what I’ll do to you in a few short weeks. What that is, Jon, is helping you understand. I’m gonna help you understand what happens when you call a man like me out. And you’re going to understand that what you have done to Hook and Shibata is going to be visited upon your man, Claudio, next week. And that all starts with me understanding a little bit about you, Jon. See, I understand that you have the ruthless streak that is required to take on someone like me.

“I understand that you have the ability and the will to come after someone like me. But you see, Jon, I had to put this match in a cage. Cuz there’s something else that I understand about you. The Jon Moxley I look at today doesn’t have the heart to stand in front of me. The Jon Moxley I see today doesn’t have the balls to get into a ring and get into an actual firefight with a man like me. And Jon, come Chicago, at Beach Break, I will break you. And when you turn around to run, with nowhere to go, I am Samoa Joe. I will be the next AEW World Champion. And Jon Moxley, I will make you understand.”

She understands they have a response to that. Truth says yeah, he’s got something to say! Trent, Rocky, Truth gets you’re upset! He gets you feel disrespected. But maybe the Outrunners get a little loud sometimes. So what? Maybe they flex a little too much. So what? Maybe they spin a little too fast. So what?! Turbo says if Rocky & Trent wanna get physical, let’s get physical! They’ll settle this where it counts! When you’re face to face with The Outrunners, some are scared to death! But some are scared to live!

Truth & Turbo shake it out, will the Youngest Men Alive show Azucar & #JustTrent what respect is really about?

CRU speaks.

Lio Rush says, “It was inevitable that the story ended with the way that it did.” Action Andretti adds, “With Top Flight landing flat on their faces.” They’re not in AEW to waste time. And any more time spent on Darius & Dante is a waste of time. They tried to walk away, drift off into the sunset, but “you two children couldn’t handle being without us.” Top Flight couldn’t stand being in the rearview mirror. CRU hopes Top Flight will learn a lesson. And that lesson is you should #FearCRU. Either you’re CRU, or you’re enemy.

He wants them to do the chant correctly!

“Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster is already laughing at how “bad” the fans are doing. That was not full participation, please do better. But let’s get to business! Who can survive FIVE with the Best Wrestler Alive? It’s DANIEL GARCIA!

Backstage interview with with Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn.

Lexy is with the Pride of Professional Wrestling & Daddy Ass, and Bowens wants her to remember he is also the 5 Tool Player, the perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, “The Look” and “The It Factor.” Bowens is here in his home state of New Jersey to tell us all that he intends to use all five tools to climb to a championship opportunity. Doesn’t that sound great? But then in steps Blake Christian & Lee Johnson. Vanilla Babyface tells Bowens all he is hearing right now is blah blah blah. Let’s be real: Bowens may have won against Blake three weeks ago, but those people weren’t talking about Bowens beating Blake.

The talk was about Bowens being outshined by Blake! Big Shotty says Bowens needs to listen because he means this with all the disrespect in the world. Johnson believes he is 150% better! After watching Blake soften Bowens up, Johnson knows how to put Bowens down. Bowens says wow, outshined him? That’s not possible. And 150% better? Well, then step up to the plate and get MOLLY WHOPPED by the 5 Tool Player! Any time, anywhere. Blake & Lee leave, when and where will Big Shotty take his shot?

 

The Gates of Agony VS Ray Chas & Goldie!

The Hurt Syndicate claimed we’d see Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona way down the line after they lost in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. But the Cameroonian Prince says there are things much worse than death. They took a bite of the baddest apple on the tree, and the Samoan Lion says it made them SICK! Compared to that, only agony awaits! This is a message sent to Big Bill & Bryan Keith, will it be received loud and clear?

Cover, Gates win!

Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall

The CRU is watching ringside, acting unimpressed. But will Kaun & Liona make sure Lio & Action are next after Bill & Keith? But speaking of, Bill calls them out from the tron! Last week, Bill & Keith called them out. They’re in the parking lot. They don’t come to you, you come to them! Kaun & Liona say bet! The Gates leave the ring, go to the back, and find their way to the parking lot! Will we get quite the battle of titans in Atlantic City?

 

AEW returns and…

The Gates have found the Redwood & Bad Apple! The brawl is on right in front of the Mack trucks! Bill SMACKS Liona off one, but Kaun THROWS Keith into fencing! Bill BOOTS Kaun, kicks more fencing out of the way, then he picks up a swivel chair! Bill SLAMS the chair, but Kaun avoids disaster! Liona SMACKS Bill with a trash can lid! Bill grabs some poor passerby by the face, and THROWS him at Liona! Liona catches the guy, throws him aside, and then he stares Bill down. Only for Keith to jump on Liona with a SLEEPER! Kaun is up and he ROCKS Bill! Liona spins around to swing Keith off him and into a truck!

Bill and Kaun brawl, Liona runs up, but Keith avoids the trash can attack! This brawl is gonna keep going, but the show must go on, too! Will security be able to stop this carnage before it goes too far?

Roddy JUMP KNEES Dax, then he and Dax give him TOTAL ANNIHILATION!! Kyle covers, Cash gives Dax the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts three, but then he sees the foot!! The fans and Paragon think they’ve won, but no, this is a mockery of this feud’s ignition point! The match is going to keep going, and Cash CHOP BLOCKS Roddy in the confusion! Kyle grabs Cash’s leg to ANKLE LOCK!! But Cash isn’t legal! Cash turns over, CLAWS Kyle’s eyes, feed to Dax’s roll-up, with tights! TWO!!!

Kyle is up, but into a SHATTER MACHINE!!!! Cover, FTR WINS!!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall, 2-1 score

Stokely cheers as he makes all the difference! Will the Top Guys continue to win by any means necessary until they’re back on top of AEW? WAIT! Daniel Garcia storms his way out here! He has a mic and a crowbar, but which one is he gonna use?! Stoke has Garcia hold on, the ref tells Garcia to stand down, but Garcia says what he really wanted to do is come down and beat all three of them over the head with the crowbar. “But I can’t. Because I have too much love for the both of you. And I thought you two had a lot of love for me, too. Because any time that one of my so-called mentors left me high and dry, left me stranded, you guys were there to pick up the pieces and put me back on my feet.”

The fans rally for Garcia, and Garcia says after what FTR did to Adam Copeland and 2Point0, and then after they tried to break Garcia’s neck, Garcia was left looking for answers. But Garcia realized that he won’t get those answers just standing around having a therapy session with them. The fans say use the crowbar then! Garcia says he has an idea. Next week, it doesn’t matter if it is Dax, Cash, Stokely, all of them, fifteen of them, a hundred of them, FTR, CPR, the ER, it doesn’t matter! Just meet him in the ring so he can beat the answers out of them!! The fans fire up for that! Who will accept this challenge from an enraged Red Death?


My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, but wow, six years and they haven’t learned how to not be redundant. While Moxley and Samoa Joe had good promos, Moxley having two promos is stupid. Skip the video one Moxley did backstage and just give us Moxley responding in anger to what Joe had to say. Same effect, but much more efficient. To be fair, I feel like a good number of this night was thrown together last minute. Because hey look, another match with “prize money” on the line when we know that’s kayfabe. It was still an awesome match from all four guys, with Hologram watching a la Sting and Darby, but what’s the point of a fake money prize? Sammy calls out Adam Cole here, why not make it some kind of TNT Championship #1 contender’s match?

Very good match from Storm VS Frost and a very good promo from Storm, and while we know Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter is set, this feels like someone is going to challenge Storm for Double or Nothing in an attempt to change the All In: Texas plans. The wildest thing they could do is make it Athena as her way of getting to the All In card. They could even make it title for title because it’s Double or Nothing, and the winner brings both those titles to facing Mercedes Mone, and they have ALL the titles on the line because it’s All In! But because it’s that wild, they won’t do it. And to be fair, they really shouldn’t because then who would ever get a belt off the “Ultima Dragon” they create?

Megan of course beats Harley, but I appreciate that it led to Anna Jay making the save. Anna and Harley can certainly make a great team to battle Megan & Ford, but I feel like Megan & Ford win mostly because of Megan. Awesome match from Alexander VS Brody, and I really like that on the same day Konosuke and El Phantasmo have a 15 minute time limit draw in NJPW, Alexander and Brody have one here in AEW. Archer getting involved was also good stuff, but there’s no word on when Buddy Matthews is getting back so I’m not sure the chances of Hounds of Hell VS Don Callis Family.

But after that good promo from the Outrunners, I bet we get them and Brody working together as rather strange bedfellows. Very good stuff with Gates of Agony. They of course squashed their opponents tonight, but I like that we got a brawl of them and the former Learning Tree. Though, the brawl could’ve been a bit better, but I understand how no one wanted to fall on that hard concrete of the parking lot. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a tag match now, helping reestablish both teams in the tag division. But while CRU had a good promo to say they’re done with Top Flight, they’re like chihuahuas barking a big game thinking they can go against Kaun & Liona in a fair fight.

Caster adding a time limit to his Open Challenge was hilarious, since it added to how humiliating it was for Caster to lose fast. And Garcia answering the challenge also helped tie into tonight’s main event with FTR. Which also seemed rather out of nowhere, but it did make sense in story for FTR to go 2 outta 3 with Kyle & Roddy. Great main event with that, and I actually like Stokely’s strategy of forgoing the first fall to avoid any further damage. As such, FTR of course pulled off the comeback to win out, allowing Garcia to confront them. Thankfully, Garcia didn’t side with FTR, I had feared they’d do a lame bit of logic leaping. Garcia against either Dax or Cash will be a great singles match, and I feel like Cope will make some sort of heroic return so Garcia can have a tag partner to face FTR at Double or Nothing. Then Garcia turns.

My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY

8 Man Tag: Kenny Omega, Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight VS Ricochet, Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks!

The Cleaner is back and he’s ready to clean up the mess The Elite have made. The Sussex County Chicken, Speedball & Jet are with him, but will they stand tall? Or will The One & Only join The Rainmaker & The EVPs in throwing a Superkick Party?

The teams sort out and the fans fire up as Omega and Okada are right in each other’s face! The ref has the teams calm down but the fans are already losing their minds! The bell rings, and we get not only AEW International Champion VS AEW Continental Champion, but the revival of perhaps the greatest rivalry in NJPW history. Maybe even in world history! Okada and Omega circle as the fans fire up even more. Norfolk is on Omega’s side and Okada is annoyed. Okada tags out to Nicholas Jackson and the fans boo. Omega says that’s fine, he wants after one of his old pals. But Nick calls out Speedball, so Omega says okay.

Omega turns, but then Ricochet & The Elite all attack! The fans boo as they BLAST Omega’s team off the corner, then they stomp away on Omega! The ref reprimands but The Elite & Ricochet soak up the heat. Nick CLUBS Omega, drags him up, but Omega CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Omega wrenches Nick for a wristlock. But Nick pokes Omega in the eye! Nick knuckle locks, CHPOS, then goes up, up, and shouts “LUCHA LIBRE~!” before the FLYING ARM-DRAG! Omega is up, but Nick arm-drags again, then has the armlock. Omega fights up but Nick wrenches and YANKS the arm! Nick hands the arm to Matt for ELBOW BREAKER after ELBOW BREAKER!

The fans boo, but Okada tags in and he wrenches Omega’s arm to CLUB it! And YANK it! The fans rally for Omega but Okada hands him off to Matt again, for MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada wrenches Omega, tags Ricochet in, and Ricochet goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Omega’s arm! Ricochet wrenches the arm, gives an ELBOW BREAKER of his own, then he brings Matt over for even MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada says one more time! Ricochet agrees, but Omega wrenches Ricochet’s arm! Ricochet fights and flails, Omega hands Ricochet off to Matt for ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada and Nick tell Matt to stop, that’s not Omega!

Matt slows to a stop, and then reaches up to touch Ricochet’s head. Being bald confirms it, that’s not Kenny! Ricochet argues with Matt, then pushes him! Matt SLAPS Ricochet on his bald head! And Omega SLAPS! Omega then reels Ricochet in for an atomic drop! Ricochet staggers into Matt! Matt falls, Ricochet staggers back to Omega, and Omega bumps Ricochet off buckles!

All eight men scramble to their feet and the fans are thunderous! Then the brawl is on! Okada has Knight in a corner, Matt brawls with Bailey, Briscoe TOSSES Ricochet and Nick TOSSES Omega, only for Briscoe to go after Nick!

Then Briscoe & Bailey both hit the crane stance! The Bucks hesitate, and they get DOUBLE CRANE KICKS! The fans are thunderous again, and Dynamite goes picture in picture!

The brawling continues on the outside as Briscoe keeps after Nick. Bailey whips Matt into barriers, Knight SMACKS Okada off the desk, and then Briscoe whips Nick hard into a corner! Nick flops down, and we see Bailey raining down fists on Matt! The fans count along and Bailey goes all the way to TEN! Then he KCIKS Matt down! Briscoe gives punches to Nick!

Knight was a step away, but he backs off now that Bailey’s escaped. Okada brings Bailey over to the Elite corner, tags in Ricochet, then Okada scoops and SLAMS Bailey for Ricochet’s KNEE-BOARD SENTON! Ricochet struts, covers, TWO!

Ricochet is annoyed, but he stays between Bailey and his team to stomp away! The ref reprimands, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Ricochet reels Bailey in. The fans taunt Ricochet with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” as he lifts Bailey. But Bailey slips free of the bomb! Ricochet dodges Bailey’s lariat to BLAST Bailey’s team! But Bailey waistlocks, only for Ricochet to standing switch. Ricochet spins Bailey around and reels him in, NORTHERN- NO, Knight makes the save! Matt runs in, he dodges Knight, and then he fires off kicks! Ricochet kicks and knees Bailey, and they coordinate to STEREO NORTHERN LIGHTS!

The Polar Express is on two tracks now, another NORTHERN LIGHTS for Knight while Ricochet hits a BRAINBUSTER on Bailey! They both kip up, they fist bump, and then Ricochet poses with Matt in such as way as to make it like Matt’s hair is Ricochet’s hair! The fans chant, “You’re Still Bald!” as Ricochet tags Nick. Nick drags Bailey up and reels him in. Nick calls his shot and suplexes, but Bailey fights it! Nick CLUBS Bailey for it, then tags Matt.

Fireman’s carry and ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Briscoe hurries up top, but The Bucks distract the ref so Ricochet can SHOVE Briscoe down! RAINMAKER!! Cover, ELITE WIN!

Winners: Ricochet, Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks, by pinfall

Ricochet smiles as he gives Okada an assist that was outta this world! Will Ricochet feel right at home with with The Elite? Will Omega have to rethink how he battles his former friends?

 

The Hurt Syndicate arrives backstage.

And very excited staff and AEW prospects greet them with “We Hurt~ People! We Hurt~ People!” MVP says yeah, that’s real fun to say, huh? But y’know what’s even more fun? When they actually do it! MVP JAMS the one guy with his walking stick, then Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley beat down the rest! One guy gets dumped into a laundry basket! The AEW World Tag Team Champions pick up their title belts, and MVP says that first guy broke his cane. But hey, let’s address the elephant in the room. Lashley smirks and Shelton says hey, he was skeptical about MJF, too. But this isn’t about them trusting MJF. This is about them trusting MVP.

Shelton says c’mon, Lashley, he has to admit MJF is also funny, and that he liked that car. Lashley says he can buy his own cars. MVP says of course, of course. But this is what this is about: MJF can help The Hurt Syndicate. Has MVP ever steered them wrong before? And… If MJF screws them, then they will hurt him like he’s never been hurt before. Alright? They fist bump, and MVP says alright, time to get some work done. Will this finally be the night the All Mighty accepts the Scumbag?

 

Six Man Tag: The Opps VS Nick Comoroto, Rhett Titus & Myles Hawkins!

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs not only took the AEW World Trios Championships from the Death Riders, but they put the Death Riders and all of AEW on notice. The Opps are #NeverLacking, but how much more powerful will they become?

The trios sort out and Titus starts against Joe. The bell rings and the fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Joe smirks, then he ties up with Titus. Joe wrenches and wristlocks, but Titus breaks free to CHOP! Titus runs, but Joe CHOPS him off his feet! Joe JABS, JABS, and JABS Titus into the corner. Joe fires off more hands, then stomps a mudhole in! The fans fire up and Joe whips Titus corner to corner. Joe ELBOWS Titus, PELES him, then brings him around to tag Shibata. Shibata CHOPS Titus, then shoves him to his corner. Shibata dares someone to tag in, so Comoroto tags in. The Freak Beast storms up to shove Shibata, but Shibata CHOPS!

Comoroto CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS, repeat! The fans fire up as the CHOPS go back and forth again and again! Shibata then CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Comoroto KNEES low, whips, but Shibata ducks ‘n’ dodges to BOOT! Comoroto falls, Hawkins tags in, but Shibata KNEES him low! Snapmare and KICK! The fans fire up while Hawkins writhes! Shibata bumps Hawkins off buckles, and he tags in Hobbs! The fans fire up as Hobbs stomps Hawkins, then fires knee after knee! Hobbs whips Hawkins to a corner, but Hawkins BOOTS back! Hawkins runs up, but Hobbs SNAP POWERSLAMS! The fans fire up as Hobbs stands tall.

Hobbs runs and SPLASHES Hawkins in a corner! Then LARIAT! LARIAT! LARAT! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs reels Hawkins in for a short arm LARIAT! Hobbs brings down the straps, the fans fire up, and Hobbs gives Hawkins a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, The Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by pinfall

Hobbs took care o’ town bidness, and now the trios champs stand tall. Will nothing and no one stop Joe from taking the AEW World- WAIT! The Death Riders attack! Wheeler Yuta CLUBS Shibata down, then runs away from Hobbs while Jon Moxley CHOKES Joe and stomps away! Hobbs grabs Yuta and fires hands! The fans fire up but now Claudio is here, and he UPPERCUTS Hobbs against railing! Claudio then goes after Shibata while Marina Shafir stomps Hobbs. But Joe DECKS Moxley! Moxley bails out, Joe pursues, and Joe fires hands! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Moxley sputters, waves to his people, but that’s a signal to Claudio!

Claudio has a chair set up upside-down! He reels Shibata in, and Joe sees that! Joe lets Moxley go, but he can’t make it back in time! FULL METAL NEUTRALIZER onto the chair legs!! The same thing that did Hook in! Joe is furious but The Death Riders retreat, having done the damage. Moxley grins, but Joe grabs himself a mic. “MOX!!” The Death Riders leave, not caring what Joe has to say. Joe says fine. It seems to him that Moxley likes to come out here and ask like he’s the boss. But when they start throwing hands, Moxley’s just a little b*tch! Joe tells Moxley that he came out here weeks ago and begged for Joe 1v1! All Joe is trying to do is give Moxley what he wants.

Unfortunately, it just seems like Moxley doesn’t really want that… But Jon… You’ve already made your request! And Joe says he’ll give the people what they want, and that is very simple! If Joe is gonna fight Moxley for the AEW World Championship… Then that cowardly SOB Moxley will have to do it inside a steel cage! The fans fire up for that one! “Because my name is Samoa Joe, and I will be your next AEW World Champion!” Joe has raised the stakes on The Maniac, will there be no surviving Beach Break for the Death Riders?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with The CEO and thanks her for taking this time. Mone thanks Renee for having her. Renee says in preparing for this, she thought back to the first time they did this in AEW. Something Renee kept coming back to is how Mone says she is a global superstar on a global mission. Yes, and one year later, she is a global champion! NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion, and of course, the GREATEST AEW TBS Champion of all time. Renee says let’s talk the Owen Hart Tournament. The finals are set for Double or Nothing: Mone VS Hayter. The winner goes to All In: Texas!

Mone says she could go on and on about honoring the legacy of Owen Hart and the Hart Family. The Harts have a special place in Mone’s heart, but let’s be real. This isn’t about them, this is about Mone! Just over a year ago, Mone won her first AEW title at Double or Nothing, so what makes you think this year will be any different? Renee says okay, let’s talk Jamie Hayter. A former AEW Women’s World Champion, 11-2 on the year, and even that aside, just look at the tale of the tape. Physically, Hayter is bigger and stronger. Is Mone underestimating Hayter? No, of course not. But Mone has been in AEW for over a year, and what is she? UNDEFEATED!

So if we’re talking records, let’s talk about that. Renee says yes, true, 25-0 in singles competition, impressive indeed. Yes, it is! Mone has beaten the very best here in AEW, and even all over the world. Mone IS the best! Mone IS the greatest! She is #FourBeltsMone, and the world runs on Mone Time! Because every time Mone steps into the ring, she changes the game! And she has to give props where it is due, Hayter is really, really good. Tough, scrappy, and reminds Mone a bit of herself. Except for the terrible Scooby Doo style! Hayter wants to be a champion, but a champion can’t look like a friggin’ cartoon.

Renee says Double or Nothing is not one to miss. She wishes Mone luck and Mone just smiles. Will The CEO add the Queen of Harts belt to her collection? Or will she learn that no matter how Jamie looks, Hayter Hits Hard?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

AEW returns as Renee is now with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna & the ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. Renee says Nick is headed to Japan next week to enter the Best of the Super Juniors. What does it mean to him to be part of that tournament representing AEW in NJPW? Christian speaks up to say as The Patriarch and leader of this family, he prefers all questions being directed to… Jay Lethal steps in? What can Christian do for him? Lethal says actually, there’s nothing Christian can do. Because he is here to talk to the champ. Lethal knows it is no secret that many people here believe Nick is incredible in the ring, because he is.

But Nick is also young and has a lot to learn. In fact, he has a lot to prove. So how about Nick proves something tonight? The longest reigning ROH World TV Champion, Jay Lethal, and the youngest ROH World TV Champion, Nick Wayne, 1v1! Nick says he doesn’t know. He isn’t really warmed up or prepared. He was hoping to focus on BOSJ. Christian says, “He accepts!” Lethal says, “See you out there, champ.” Lethal heads out, and Christian says if Nick wants to be a champion, then he needs to get his head in the game. The Patriarchy leaves with Captain Charisma, will Nick have no choice but to prove something to Lethal and “Father Christian?”

 

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Miyu Yamashita!

While Double or Nothing puts the Owen Hart Cup on the line, The Timeless Champion is still looking for someone worthy of being her “costar.” Will the Pink Striker soon go for AEW gold? Or will she not pass her “screen test” with Toni?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Toni. Toni offers a handshake, Miyu accepts, and the fans applaud the sportsmanship. The two circle, tie up, and go around. Miyu waistlocks, Toni headlocks, but Miyu wrenches free to wristlock then headlock. The fans sing for “Toni! Toni Storm~!” as she powers Miyu down to a knee. Toni slips out the back, wrenches, then wristlocks. Miyu rolls, wrenches, and then KICKS a leg! And KICKS! KICKS! KICKS! Toni hobbles but she has the ROPEBREAK! Miyu lets go, but then she KNEES low! Miyu whips but Toni hits a THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!

Miyu guards, the ref reprimands about closed fists, but Toni lets off to fire up with the fans. Toni drags Miyu up, scoops her, and hits a BACKBREAKER! Toni drags Miyu up and snap suplexes her! Then Toni goes to a corner, climbs up, and the fans rally. Miyu springs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Toni flops to the apron then the floor, and Miyu fires herself up. The fans rally with her and she goes to the apron. PENALTY- NO, Toni blocks the kick and trips Miyu! Miyu hits the apron, Toni climbs up and gives us a closeup. But Miyu avoids the hip attack! Toni gets stuck in the corner, and Miyu takes aim! The fans fire up as Miyu literally kicks Toni’s butt!

Miyu KICKS Toni’s butt again and again and again! Luther protests and Miyu backs off. Luther makes sure Toni’s butt is okay, but then Miyu KICKS Luther! The fans are torn as Miyu CLOBBERS Luther, then she ROUNDHOUSES Toni’s butt! Toni falls off the corner and Miyu soaks up both cheers and jeers while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Miyu drags Toni up, then whips her hard into barriers! Toni hobbles away but Miyu pursues. Miyu fires the fans up before she runs up and KNEES Toni against railing! Miyu then brings Toni around with a headlock, and she KICKS Toni against barriers! And again, and again, and again! Miyu fires up, but Toni THRWOS her into barriers to CHOP! CHPO! And CHOP! Toni brings Miyu around, but Miyu puts Toni in the ring first. Miyu storms in, stands Toni up, and fireman’s carries, only for Toni to fight free and clamp on a SLEEPER! Miyu flails, wrenches free and THROWS Toni down! Then she BUZZSAWS Toni! Toni sputters, Miyu covers, TWO!

Toni stays in this but Miyu stays cool as she stays on Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again but Toni ROCKS Miyu! And CHOPS! Miyu fires up to BODY BLOW! Miyu wrenches and whips Toni to a corner, then runs up for a KNEE! Miyu brings Toni around, goes up and up and GAMANGIRIS! Miyu fires up and the fans seem torn. Miyu drags Toni into a COBRA CLUTCH, then throws KNEE after KNEE into Toni’s back! Toni stands up but Miyu KNEES and SAYANAGIS, while keeping the COBRA CLUTCH! Toni endures, Luther rallies the fans, and Toni fights around. Miyu pushes Toni to a cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO!

Miyu holds onto the submission even as she pushes Toni down, TWO! Toni fights up, fires body shots, but Miyu KNEES her in return! Dynamite returns to single picture as Miyu looms over Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again, whips her to a corner, and then KICKS! Miyu goes up the corner again, but Toni avoids the kick this time! Toni runs up to ROCK Miyu! Miyu shakes that off and ROCKS Toni! Toni ROCKS Miyu! The forearms go back and forth and Norfolk fires up! Toni fires a flurry and the fans cheer! But Miyu leans into the shots! Miyu backs Toni down like that! Toni swings again, but Miyu slips around to waistlock.

Toni ELBOWS free, but Miyu BLINDSIDE ROUNDHOUSES! And SUPERKICKS! And then ROUND- NO, Toni blocks that one to SNAP GERMAN! The fans fire up and Toni aims from the corner. Another closeup and SWEET- SKULL KICK!! Miyu hits Toni, but she falls back herself! Miyu crawls over to cover, TWO!! Toni survives, but Miyu will not let her go! Miyu drags Toni up, goes to run, but Toni reels her in! Miyu smirks, and she swings, only for Toni to duck and SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Miyu survives but Toni hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect and Toni is frustrated.

Toni storms around and the fans rally up. Toni brings Miyu in, Miyu fights the lift, and Miyu fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY BOMB!! But Miyu isn’t done, she BUZZSAWS again! Miyu fires up and runs, but Toni dodges! SNAP GERMAN!! Miyu flounders to a corner, Toni tries one more time! Take three for this closeup! SWEET HIP MUSIC!! Then STORM ZERO!! Cover, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (denies Miyu a title match)

Cut, print, that’s a wrap! Toni is an undefeated 10-0 in eliminator matches, but wait! The CEO is make her way out here. Mone shows off her four belts, and then has a mic to say, “Norfooooolk~! Shut the Hell up and say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. But Mone tells, “Toni, darling, good to see you. After I beat Jamie Hayter at Double or Nothing and win the Owen Cup, I’m coming for what I deserve: The AEW Women’s World Championship, darling~!” But wait! Speaking of the Hayter and she appears! Hayter tells Mone to say that to her face! Mone takes a swing instead! But Hayter blocks that, and DECKS Mone!

Hayter hauls Mone up, but Mone dodges the Hayterade! Mone runs away and Toni is rather surprised. Mone left her belts behind, but will she still grab the Cup? Or will we finally get a sequel to Storm VS Hayter at All In: Texas?

 

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Don Callis himself asks, “You know what I like? I like writing history. I like making history. And last week on Dynamite, Takeshita & the Canadian Assassin, Josh Alexander, they made history! They had one of the greatest tag team matches I’ve ever seen, and they put down Will Ospreay and the great Brody King. I loved it. I loved it so much, I wanna make history again this week with The Family. And this week, we’re going to, because Kyle Fletcher is going to dismantle The Hangman. And then, Kyle, it’s on to Double or Nothing for the Finals of The Owen, where you will finally put to rest the legend of Will Ospreay. And I can’t wait! Go get ’em tonight, kid.”

Kyle Fletcher says, “After I beat Hangman Adam Page tonight, after I beat Will Ospreay at Double or Nothing, I go on to All In, I TAKE the AEW World Championship. The Don Callis Family takes its place at the top of the mountain of AEW. You will have NO choice but to say… my… full… name.” Callis says he’ll do it. “Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, Kyle FLETCHER!!” Callis is all fired up while Fletcher is locked in. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down the Cowboy to then aim at the Aerial Assassin? Or will one Buckshot be all it takes to go Double or Nothing?

 

The Hurt Syndicate heads to the ring.

The fans sing “We Hurt~ People!” and at least they won’t get beat up for it as MVP, Lashley & Shelton go to the ring. MVP has the mic to say, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Now, as you know, we’ve been discussing adding a fourth member to our ranks. And according to our corporate bylaws, in order to do so, that prospect must receive a unanimous three thumbs up. Now, I had a conversation with the Standard of Excellence, and of course The All Mighty, and we’re gonna try this one more time. So please join me in inviting MJF to join us in the ring.”

Norfolk cheers as Maxwell Jacob Friedman makes his entrance. MJF already has a mic of his own, and he has them cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on and MVP says this is kinda to his point. MJF tells the fans, give it up for Shelton! Look how great he looks! Like c’mon! Standard of Excellence! Montel, what can MJF say that he hasn’t already said? A living legend, and one of MJF’s oldest friends. The fans chant for MVP, and then MJF looks to “Bob.” Lashley is annoyed that the fans chant for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” MJF asks if Lashley had a good car ride here. MVP says let’s just get to the vote already.

We all know MVP’s position, and remember the discussion. MVP says thumbs up. Shelton again says thumbs up. Lashley… Well, he thinks about it, looks to the others, and sticks out his hand. The fans cheer and MJF waits patiently as Lashley still thinks on it. Eventually, he says thumbs… DOWN!! MJF frowns and the fans boo, but Lashley just doesn’t wanna give in. MJF says, “Y’know what, Bob? I think I’m about sick of your s*it!” WHOA~! MJF asks what is it Lashley wants. MJF has given him women, helped him win a match, gave him money and a car. What intrigues Lashley? Maybe some Rogaine, “you big bald SOB!”

The fans fire up hearing that, and now MVP steps back. Lashley grabs MJF by the head and puts him in a corner! MJF shouts for MVP but Lashley reminds MJF that they hurt people! If MJF wants to impress Lashley, then go hurt someone. MJF says okay, okay, he’s sorry! Lashley’s made his point, MJF will do that! MVP has Lashley stand down and MJF can breathe again. MVP has Lashley & Shelton leave MJF behind, and can only tell MJF that he tried. MJF has to prove what he’s capable of, who will he hurt as part of his initiation?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS Jay Lethal!

The Patriarchy’s Prodigy was given his shot thanks to, well, The Patriarch. And while Nick won it on his own, Christian acts like he owns part of that title. As such, Christian put Nick in this position to face one of if not THE best ROH World TV Champion ever. Will Lethal ruin Nick’s momentum going into NJPW Best of the Super Juniors? Or can Nick prove he doesn’t need “Daddy” helping him anymore?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really championship material!

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick kicks Lethal’s hand away. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Lethal headlocks for the takeover, Nick headscissors but Lethal kips free. Nick hits the headlock takeover, Lethal headscissors, but Nick kips free. Another headlock takeover from Lethal and another headscissors from Nick, so Lethal kips free again. Another takeover from Nick and another headscissors from Lethal, so Nick kips free again. Nick bails out to stop the cycle, and Christian coaches him up. The fans rally as Nick storms up the steel steps. Lethal opens the ropes for Nick, but Nick chooses to enter from the other end.

Nick and Lethal circle, approach, and Nick kicks low! Nick ROCKS Lethal, CHOPS him, then the fans chant for “NICK’S MOM! NICK’S MOM!” Kip tells them to stop that, but Lethal puts Nick in the corner to stomp and CHOP! Lethal blows a kiss to Mama Wayne, but Nick CHOPS back! Lethal turns things around to CHOP again! Nick sputters and staggers and Christian swipes at Lethal. The ref has The Patriarchy back off, but then Nick kicks Lethal low. Nick whips Lethal to a corner, Lethal reverses, but Nick goes up, only for Lethal to stay back! Nick is confused, turns around, and Lethal arm-drags him!

The fans fire up as Lethal arm-drags again! Lethal then dodges Nick to waistlock. Nick fights, Lethal shoves him, hip toss and cartwheel, basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up for Lethal and he lines up his shot. But then Nick bails out, so Lethal changes his plans. Lethal DIVES and takes Nick down at the ramp! Lethal hurries after Nick, but Nick springs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Christian tells Nick to get up. Nick rises as the ring count climbs. Nick hurries into the ring just to refresh the count. Nick goes back for Lethal, and RAMS him into the steel steps! Lethal writhes and Nick soaks up the heat while Dynamite goes to break.

Dynamite returns and Nick whips Lethal corner to corner hard! Lethal drops to his knees, Nick soaks up heat, but Christian wants Nick to keep on him. Nick again whips Lethal hard corner to corner! Lethal falls to his knees, Christian nods, and Nick whips corner to corner again. Lethal stops himself short, then ELBOWS Nick away! The fans fire up, Lethal rolls Nick up, TWO! Lethal turns Nick to backslide, TWO! Lethal steps over, LA MAGISTROL! TWO!! Nick escapes, swings, but into the LETHAL COMBINATION! The fans fire up while Christian worries and Lethal covers, TWO! Nick survives but the fans rally for Lethal.

Lethal rises, calls his shot, and Lethal goes up a corner. Nick rises to trip Lethal up! Lethal CLUBS Nick in return, but Nick ROCKS Lethal! Nick climbs up, brings Lethal to the top, but Lethal fights with body shots! Lethal DECKS Nick, then takes aim again! The fans fire up for the MACHO ELBOW! But Nick rolls it into a cover! TWO!! Lethal is up, he blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! And then a “WOO~” and FIGURE- NO, Nick cradles Lethal, TWO! Lethal dodges, handsprings, but Nick rolls Lethal up! TWO!! Lethal escapes, fireman’s carries, but Nick CLAWS the eyes! Lethal runs up, Nick trips him into the buckles!

Nick runs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Nick then hooks and hoists Lethal up with the PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!

Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

With the family watching, Nick gets the job done all on his own! But then Christian brings in the belt, and again holds onto it as if it is his. Christian then has Nick turn around, and Christian puts the belt on Nick. The fans boo this backhanded way of complimenting his “son,” but will Nick make the Patriarchy even prouder through the BOSJ?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

With that special event just weeks away, Tony Khan has agreed with Samoa Joe’s idea! Samoa Joe and Jon Moxley will now battle for the AEW World Championship inside the steel cage!! Will Moxley even survive with his Death Riders locked on the outside?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Live this Saturday but on TBS, Collision is in Atlantic City, so Toni Storm is gonna roll the dice! She gives Lady Frost a Championship Eliminator, will Frost have Lady Luck on her side? Or will Toin heat things up as we get closer and closer to Double or Nothing? Then given what Callis had to say about him, Brody King is coming back for revenge! Will the King of Death destroy Callis’ Canadian Assassin? Or will Josh Alexander prove he is a Walking Weapon?

 

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinals: Hangman Page VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The Cowboy is no stranger to this position. He was a finalist in last year’s Owen Hart Cup, only to fall short because of his many distractions and obsessions. But will Hangman return to the finals and redeem himself? Or will we get Ospreay VS Fletcher once more?

The bell rings and the two run up to tie up! They go around, Kyle puts Hangman in a corner, but the ref counts. Kyle pie faces Hangman as he lets go, and Callis joins commentary. Callis brings up the saying, “Virginia is for lovers,” but he’s gonna love seeing Hangman be exposed by Kyle tonight. Kyle wrenches Hangman’s arm, wristlocks, then cranks on the hold. Hangman rolls, slips through and wrenches to hammerlock, snapmare, and then CHOP! Kyle staggers back and the fans fire up! Hangman stares daggers at Kyle but Kyle bails out. Kyle walks off that shot while soaking up heat from the fans. The ring count climbs and Hangman paces.

The fans rally for #CowboyS*it, but Kyle storms back to the ring at 7 of 10. Kyle steps in, he and Hangman circle, then Kyle slips around to waistock. Hangman wrenches, hammerlocks, but Kyle works on an escape. Kyle ELBOWS free, then headlocks. Hangman powers up and out, but Kyle pulls hair to have the headlock again! The ref reprimands and the fans boo but Kyle just grins. Kyle grinds the hold, Hangman powers up, but Kyle wrenches Hangman to wrangle him down. Kyle has a hammerlock, and he says, “Cowboy S*it? More like ride ’em, cowboy~!” Kyle pretends he’s at the rodeo, but Hangman slips out the back to trip Kyle up!

Hangman SPANKS Kyle and Kyle is stunned! Hangman then ROCKS Kyle, ROCKS him again, and then bumps him off buckles. Hangman fires haymakers in the corner, the fans count along, but the ref also counts. Hangman gets seven as the ref goes to 4, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks but Hangman powers up and out. Kyle rolls over the dropdown, Hangman handsprings back up, and then Hangman BOOTS Kyle right in the face! Hangman goes right to the apron, but Kyle bails out fast! Archer & Callis applaud the quick thinking, but Hangman suddenly runs in and LARIATS Kyle into the timekeeper’s area!

The fans fire up for Hangman and he revels in it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Hangman refreshes the ring count, then storms into the timekeeper’s area to fetch Kyle. The ref has Archer stay back while Hangman drags Kyle up. Hangman then whips Kyle hard into barriers! Kyle falls in a heap, Hangman talks trash on Callis & Archer, then Hangman goes back to Kyle. Hangman again refreshes the ring count, then he stands Kyle up to whip him hard into railing! Kyle falls over again but Hangman drags him back up. Hangman puts Kyle in the ring, storms in after him, but Kyle bails out the other side. Hangman is annoyed but Kyle goes to Archer & Calls. Callis coaches Kyle up but Hangman storms over. Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman down!

Archer applauds, and we see Kyle has a bloody cut on his lower back, and that’s quite literal. Kyle still hobbles over to Hangman, stands him up, and whips him hard into barriers! Now Hangman slumps down and takes a seat. Kyle leaves Hangman behind, but Hangman drags himself into the ring. Kyle runs up and BOOTS Hangman into the corner! Kyle stomps Hangman down, then stomps again and again! The ref counts, Kyle stops at 4, but he sneaks some kicks in there. Kyle then notices the blood on his back. Hangman stands to CHOP! CHOP! And CHOP! Hangman runs, but Kyle hits a kitchen sink knee!

Kyle rains down fists and elbows, then stops to seethe. Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally for Hangman. Kyle double checks his bloody back, and then tastes his own blood! The fans tell Kyle he’s sick, and Kyle goes back to Hangman. Kyle stands Hangman up to scoop and SLAM! Hangman writhes but Kyle aims. Kyle KICKS Hangman, but Hangman just seethes. Kyle says okay, and he KICKS again! Kyle scuffs Hangman, KICKS, but Hangman blocks! Kyle fires hands but Hangman fires them in return! Hangman whips, Kyle reverses to break and BOOT! Kyle runs, but Hangman BOOTS him!

Kyle rebounds, into an Alabama Lift! Kyle sunset flips, high stacks, TWO and Kyle deadlifts Hangman! Hangman slips free, dodges, but then Kyle dodges, only for a LARIAT to flip Kyle upside-down! The fans fires up for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” while Kyle sputters and Hangman catches his breath. Both men rise up, and Kyle ROCKS Hangman! Hangman frowns, and he ROCKS Kyle! And ROCKS him again, again, and again! Hangman whips Kyle to ropes, then BACKDROPS him! The fans fire up for that serious hangtime, and Kyle goes to a corner. Hangman runs in and LARIATS! Snapmare and SLIDING LARIAT!

Hangman slashes his throat and brings Kyle back up! Fireman’s carry, but Kyle fires elbows! Kyle half nelsons, Hangman elbows free, then Hangman runs, but Kyle leaps! Only for Hangman to catch him! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives and Hangman snarls, but the fans rally up again. Kyle sputters and goes to a corner, but Hangman storms right up on him. Hangman winds up and LARIATS! And LARIATS! And LARIATS again! And again! Again, and again, and again! Hangman winds up after nine for number TEN!! Kyle slumps down and Hangman seethes while the fans fire back up.

Hangman stands Kyle up, whips him corner to corner, then runs up, only for Kyle to go up and over! Kyle comes back but Hangman catches him! FALL AWAY SLAM! Kyle flounders away to the apron, Callis is worried, and Hangman kips up! Hangman then runs to triangle jump LARIAT! Down goes Kyle and Callis is even more worried. Hangman climbs the corner, the fans fire up, but Kyle hurries to anchor Hangman’s feet. Hangman kicks Kyle away, runs up, but Kyle blocks the boot to ENZIGIRI, SUPERKICK, and he reels Hangman in! Kyle suplexes, APRON BRAINBUSTER!! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds!

Callis says Kyle is going to roll into the finals with that one! The ref checks both men, and they’re somehow okay to continue. Kyle drags Hangman up and they’re on top of the barriers now! The fans fire up as Hangman fires body shots, then he blocks a kick! Hangman trips Kyle and Kyle SMACKS off the barriers! Kyle staggers back to his feet, and Hangman sets up to ASAI MOONSAULT! Into an inverted suplex! TOMBSTONE on the floor!! The fans lose their minds as now Hangman returns fire, and Dynamite goes back to picture in picture!

The ref has to again check both men, and both men are still in this somehow. The ring count climbs, the fans rally up, and both men slowly sit up. Hangman springs in at 9, Kyle springs in at 9.5!! The fans fire up as both men stay in this! Hangman and Kyle slowly sit up and crawl on their knees. Hangman throws the first punch! Kyle comes back to throw one, but there wasn’t any sauce behind it. Kyle flops back down, and Hangman scowls. Hangman sits Kyle up to throw another punch! Kyle comes back to throw another shot, and that one had something! The two stand and the haymakers keep going! Hangman ROCKS Kyle again and again!

Kyle ends up in a corner and Hangman HAMMERS away! The ref backs him up, and then Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman! Hangman staggers to the opposite corner and Kyle smirks. Kyle storms over to Hangman, hoists him to the top rope, then climbs up to join him. Hangman fires body shots but Kyle still brings Hangman to the very top! SUPER- NO, Hangman slips free, and he SHOVES Kyle onto the crossbar! Kyle is stuck up there, so Hangman climbs up after him. Now Hangman brings Kyle to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Dynamite returns to single picture right as they crash land on the mat!

Norfolk is thunderous, and a standing count begins. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but someone has to go face Ospreay at Double or Nothing! Both men rise up, and they again throw haymakers from their knees. They stand, throw more shots, and Hangman fires a flurry! Hangman whips, Kyle reverses, but Hangman ROCKS Kyle! Kyle shakes that off to BOOT Hangman! Kyle runs, Hangman rebounds, and Hangman LARIATS! Kyle staggers around but he stays up. Hangman storms up on Kyle to whip again, but Kyle reverses, wrenches, and SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEXES! Hangman staggers to a corner and Kyle takes aim!

Kyle runs, but Hangman POP-UP SIT-OUT POWERBOMBS!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Hangman is beside himself! Hangman slashes his throat, vowing to end this!

COWBOY SH*T!” Kyle runs corner to corner again, GAMANGIRI!

Kyle hoists Hangman to the top, climbs up, but Hangman fires body shots! Hangman LARIATS! Kyle holds onto ropes for dear life, but Hangman LARIATS again! Hangman gets Norfolk to fire up, and that energy powers Hangman up for another LARIAT!! Kyle falls back, but he rolls and stands again. Hangman slingshots off the corner!! BUCKSHOT!! And then he goes to the apron, BUCKSHOT!!! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!!

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (advances to Double or Nothing)

Virginia is for lovers, but it’s also for fighters! Norfolk cheers as their Cowboy rides on to the finals, but will this be Hangman’s year? Or will he fail to win “the big one” as he has before?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite, and good moves towards not just Double or Nothing but also Beach Break. Well, to be fair, a lot more matches will surely be announced next week, it’s still just the world title match for now. But after The Opps of course squashed Comoroto, Titus & Hawkins, it makes sense for the Death Riders to ambush them. Shibata suffering that chair spot is surely so the World Trios Championships won’t be defended until closer to Double or Nothing, probably giving Pac time to recover so he can team with Claudio & Yuta again. But a Steel Cage for the world title is great stuff, though that doesn’t necessarily change the odds into Joe’s favor.

Awesome opening 8 Man, and it felt like all these guys were bringing that PWG energy. In the end, The Elite with Ricochet win out because for one, Ricochet needs some wins to stay strong. Two, The Bucks win to get heat and build themselves up, and Okada couldn’t take the pin because we’re still on some long route to Okada VS Omega. We’ve got a month, so I’m sure we’ll see those two interact more and perhaps have Omega issue the challenge first. I don’t know if title unification really needs to happen, but one way or another, we’re going to get another instant classic from these two.

Very good promo from Mercedes Mone to play up just how stuck up her Heel persona is. Great match from Toni VS Miyu, and I do appreciate Toni is being a fighting champion right now. I hope that’s not a sign that she’s gonna lose to Mone at All In… Hayter had a great response to Mone’s promo with her physicality, and Toni enjoying Hayter’s music was great stuff. I still hope Athena comes back around past Double or Nothing to build something for All In, and part of me still hopes it is Athena VS Mone, the ROH Women’s and AEW TBS titles on the line. At this point, Mone is on the level of someone who can stop Athena and vice-versa, that’ll be a great match.

Very good promo from The Patriarchy with Lethal, and great match of Nick VS Lethal. Great win for Lethal to build some momentum going into BOSJ, and I can’t wait to see how Nick does in that round robin. Great stuff with Hurt Syndicate and MJF, and of course MJF can’t help but get mad when Lashley rejects him again. Lashley telling MJF to go hurt somebody, MJF will definitely try that. It might even happen as soon as Collision on Saturday, perhaps costing some random Face a good win. That can also be a good opportunity for whoever that is, as they can have a match with MJF and maybe even a story with the Hurt Syndicate.

And very good stuff going into the main event. Good promo from The Don Callis Family, and awesome main event match of Kyle VS Hangman. Given last week’s go-home math, it makes sense Hangman would win here. Plus, MJF saying Hangman would choke, this gives Hangman that chance to prove MJF wrong. Ospreay VS Hangman is also a fresh match-up for an awesome Owen Hart Cup Finals. It still feels like Ospreay is going on to All In given he helped kick off this year’s Owen Hart Cup build, and Ospreay will finally get in on the Death Riders story like he and Darby Allin talked about months ago.

My Score: 8.8/10
