PLAY BY PLAY
The Patriarchy is here!
Christian Cage wears all three AEW World Trios Championship belts as he leads Mother Shayna, “Prodigy” Nick Wayne & Killswitch/Luchasaurus out to the ring. The Esports Stadium crowd is torn, but Christian holds up all the belts as he circles around the ring. Then Christian tells them to sit down and shut their mouths while he conducts business. “Now, Arlington, I’m gonna keep this short and sweet, for the simple reason that I hate it here and I have a private plane waiting to get me outta this hellhole.
“Now, a couple short weeks ago, in this very ring, in this very arena, The Patriarchy did exactly what I said we would do, when we walked into this ring and we walked out the brand new Trios Champions. I told you on my road back to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion, I was going to use the Trios Champions as a vehicle, and I would use them as a gift for my family for showing their support to me over the past year. Now you losers might look at these objects around my waist and over my shoulder and think of them as, ‘Hey, that’s a pretty nice belt,’ or, ‘Those are nice belts that you have.’
“A belt holds up your pants. Or in my case, a belt is used to discipline a naughty child. What you’re looking at over my shoulder is a title. And until you realize that, you do not deserve to call yourself a champion! And I’m proud to say that my family has realized what these championship titles really mean. In the spirit of my family growing with me, I’m going to do what I promised to do. I am going to present The Patriarchy with their championship titles.” The fans boo but Christian first goes to “son” Nick Wayne, “the apple of my eye, my boy.” Christian is so proud of Nick. The leaps and bounds he has grown since he’s been with Christian, Christian can’t even comprehend it.
Nick is so special! Nick is what Christian said he was: a prodigy. Such a prodigy, that Nick Wayne has now become the youngest champion in the history of AEW! Stand up and take notice of Christian’s son! The fans boo instead. Other than himself, Christian can’t think of anyone who deserves this more than Nick. He is honored to present Nick with his championship title. One belt is given over and Nick holds it on his shoulder. Then “father and son” hug while fans duel, “You Deserve It!” “No He Don’t!”
Then to Killswitchasaurus, Christian says he is what he was asked to be: The Finisher! The muscle! The man that does all the dirty work when needed! Christian wants him to know how much Christian appreciates him. The Patriarchy doesn’t work without Killswitch! Christian wanted to acknowledge Killswitch and how much he means to Christian. They hug, the fans cheer, and with that said, Christian says Luchasaurus did not give birth to a Prodigy. Mother Wayne gets the belt!? She gave birth to the next best wrestler on the planet, so there is no one more deserving other than her!
The fans boo but Christian says this is a warning to any trio that- Killswitch turns Christian around! But wait! The House of Black is here! The fans bark it up for Brody King & Malakai Black as they head to the ring. Malakai already has a mic, but Christian says, “Well, well, well. The House of Black, huh?” Malakai & “Jelly Roll.” He knows they’re here to stake claim as contenders to these titles, but Christian told them before, they’re not a trio anymore. There is only two of them, and after what happened to Buddy Matthews, they won’t be a trio for a long, long time. Therefore, that distinction is null and void.
So surely, they didn’t come out here to challenge for titles. Christian thinks they see him and realized that everything he touches turns to gold. He heard the hype train of Malakai Black all these years, and he hasn’t lived up to it. That’s on Malakai, so he is here for advice. Not just any advice, but some fatherly advice. So that advice is, they saw The Patriarchy walk through The Bang Bang Gang like a hot knife through butter. If The Patriarchy can do that to those guys, then imagine what they can do to The House of Black. What were they even thinking? Three against two, what were they thinking?!
Malakai says, “Yes, well…” And then the lights go out! When the lights come up, BUDDY IS BACK! Christian bails out, he gets his guys out of there, and the fans fire up! The House has sent The Patriarchy running because they’re now 100%! And wait! Here comes The Bang Bang Gang! Juice Robinson & The Gunns keep The Patriarchy from getting up the ramp. The Patriarchy jumps into the crowd to run away! But KIP SABIAN tosses Nick back! Superbad smirks as The Prodigy is all on his own against six! Juice throws Nick in for The House! The fans tell Nick he done messed up! ROUNDHOUSE from Malakai! POP-UP KNEE from Buddy!
Brody runs in to SPLASH in the corner! Nick sits down, the fans bark with Brody, and Christian can only watch as CERBERUS STRIKES! Fans want that “One More Time!” but then The House and the Bang Bang Gang all grab at Nick’s belt. Will all three trios be going All In for the World Trios Championships?
Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs.
Lexy Nair is with the NEW ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions, and says what an emotional week it has been. Tell her how it feels to have these titles? Dustin says she just said it, it has been an emotional week. An emotional couple of weeks, really. He’s 55 years old, and to step in the ring one more time, with a family that he has watched since he was a child, and these new, young Von Erichs, Marshall & Ross, under the tutelage of their father, Kevin Von Erich, MY GAWD. The stars have aligned! The Rhodes, The Von Erichs, and they took it to ’em! They have more heart, and this is Texas’ best right here as THE ROH World Six Man Champs!
Marshall says that’s right. 12 years in the business, the fans don’t see the gut wrenching prayers and heartache, the peaks and valleys. But for it all to pay off like this, with their “brother,” Dustin, and their father. It was the greatest night of their career. Ross says it is official. This Von Erich/Rhodes Era has official begun. And then in steps Sammy Guevara. Sammy knows he and Dustin have a long history, and Dustin may not trust Sammy… Dustin has Sammy hold on. Dustin knows that Sammy knows that trust is earned. Sammy says he’ll earn it. For a long time, Sammy’s been stuck in a certain vortex, and now he’s out.
For the first time in five years, Sammy is his own man, making his own decisions. And what Sammy wants is to earn Dustin’s trust, and to team with him in ROH. And the same goes for the Von Erichs. Right here are four Texas legends. This is history in the making! Sammy wants to team with them, earn their trust, and even take this to AEW. What do they say? Sammy offers a handshake, and Dustin takes it. Could this be the Von Erich/Rhodes/Guevara era in the making?
Holo.grm & Mistico VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
Speaking of that vortex, it would seem The Learning Tree had to go and call out the NWA World Historic Welterweight Champion by showing up in CMLL’s Arena Mexico! Are Hologram & Mistico about to be dragged into Chris Jericho’s drama? Or can they at least focus on Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari first?
“Smart” Mark Sterling of course interrupts Arkady Aura’s ring announcing to say he’ll take it from here. Everyone knows The Premier Athletes, Nese & Daivari. Now, their opponents don’t even belong in the same league, or even the same sport! Those guys should be in Paris working on floor routines and balance beams losing to superior athletes over there. However, the result will be the same here tonight. The only difference is that they will be losing to superior athletes here in Texas, in front of a bunch of fat people! The fans boo but will the luchadores make Nese & Daivari eat Sterling’s words?
The teams sort out and Hologram starts against Daivari. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two circle. Daivari and Hologram tie up, Daivari wrenches, but the fans rally for Hologram. Daivari wristlocks, but Hologram rolls, handsprings and kicks free to wrench and spin and trip Daivari! The fans cheer, Hologram gets moving, but Daivari hurdles. Hologram ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! The fans fire up and then Hologram DROPKICKS! Hologram kips up, wrenches Daivari and wristlocks. Daivari pulls the mask! The fans boo but Nese tags in. The Premier Athletes mug Hologram in the corner!
The ref counts, the fans boo, but Nese & Daivari let off. Sterling says these are real athletes here. Nese reels Hologram in, but Hologram lands out of the back suplex to hot tag Mistico! Mistico springboards to CROSSOBDY Nese! Then he DECKS Daivari! Mistico whips, Nese reverses but gets around the handspring! Mistico dodges Nese, runs back in, but Nese tosses Mistico! Hologram is there for some SILLY STRING! Daivari runs up, Mistico blocks to knuckle lock, KICK, and go up, and up, and FLYING RANA ARM-DRAG COMBO! The fans fire up, Hologram gets in to give Mistico a boost, DOUBLE DROPKICK!
The Premier Athletes bail out, the fans fire up, and the luchadores build speed! But they fake Nese & Daivari out to roll back and superhero pose! Sterling is mad but the fans love it! They rally for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” and The Premier Athletes regroup. Nese storms up to the ring, Collision goes picture in picture.
Mistico feeds off the energy of the fans while he circles with Nese. But Daivari & Sterling distract him, and Nese CLOBBERS Mistico from behind! Nese stomps away, tags Daivari, and then drags Mistico up. The Premier Athletes mug Mistico, then Daivari whips Mistico for a BIG ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Daivari drags Mistico up, bumps him off buckles, and pushes him down to CHOKE on ropes! The ref counts, Daivari lets off, but now Sterling CHOKES Mistico! Daivari tags Nese in, they mug Mistico, and then Nese CHOKES Mistico! Nese lets off, but Sterling CHOKES Mistico again! The Premier Athletes keep getting away with stuff! Nese covers, TWO!
Nese pushes Mistico around and clamps on a chinlock. Mistico endures, the fans rally up, and Mistico rises up. Mistico fires body shots, but Nese throws him down by the mask! The ref reprimands but Nese soaks up the heat. Nese then stomps Mistico to keep him from Hologram. Nese drags Mistico around, Collision returns to single picture, and Nese CLUBS away with crossface forearms! Nese clamps on a chinlock to grind Mistico down. Mistico fights up, the fans rally, but Nese fires a knee! Then Nese DECKS Hologram because he can! Tag to Daivari, and the Premier Athletes double whip. Mistico handsprings to DOUBLE BACK ELBOW!
The fans fire up and Mistico stands. He dodges the Premier Athletes, sense Nese into Daivari, then ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! Nese tumbles out, Mistico CHOPS Daivari! Mistico goes up and up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS again! Daivari tumbles, the fans fire up, and Mistico crawls for his corner! The fans are thunderous for Hologram, hot tag to the man! Hologram jumps in, SOBATS, KICKS, and HEEL KICKS Daivari! Nese runs up, Hologram wrenches him, and he kicks off Daivari. Shiranui doesn’t quite work out but Hologram shoves Nese into Daivari! Hologram then runs up, uses Nese as a boost to get on Daivari’s shoulders!
Hologram then drops back to FLYING ARM-DRAG Nese!! The fans are thunderous as Hologram wrenches, hammerlocks, and lifts Daivari, for a SWINGING FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Hologram refocuses. Hologram KICKS, KICKS, then reels Daivari in. Daivari fights back with a headlock, and Nese tags in as Hologram powers out. Nese spins Hologram around but Hologram ROUNDHOUSES! Hologram whips, Nese slides to pump handle and PREMIER PILEDRIVER! Cover, Mistico breaks it! The fans fire up, but Daivari whips Mistico out! Daivari hurries to his corner, Nese tags him in.
Nese & Daivari drag Hologram up to whip, but he KICKS them each! Hologram sweeps Daivari’s leg, stomps a foot, then reels Daivari in. The fans fire up but Sterling gets up! Hologram runs Sterling off but that lets Daivari CLUB Hologram! Daivari whips, Hologram reverses and Daivari tumbles out! Hologram DIVES onto Sterling! Hologram gets back in the ring, the fans are thunderous, and Hologram builds sped, only for Nese to SUPERKICK! Mistico springboards in to MISSILE DROPKICK Nese! The Premier Athletes regroup, Mistico runs and Hologram gives him a boost, TORNILLO PLANCHA!
The Premier Athletes are down, but Hologram goes up! Tightrope walk, CANNONBALL into everyone!! The fans are thunderous and Hologram puts Daivari in! Hologram goes up, the fans love “A E DUBQ!” for making this the opening match! 450 SPLASH! Cover, the luchadores win!
Winners: Holo.grm & Mistico, by pinfall
The cyber star and the champion stand tall! Will this momentum help Mistico take the fight to Jericho? Will Hologram be projected for a title opportunity?
Mariah May is here!
The Glamour, The Queen of Harts, is joining commentary so she can carefully watch this match. And also, she asks Tony Schiavone if she should, “say something, b*tch.” She throws his words back at him from a few weeks ago, and Schiavone apologizes for that comment. Nigel is sure enjoying this.
Toni Storm VS ???
The Leading Lady is more than ready to go All In with Mariah May, and uh, she heads right for her on commentary! Toni and Mariah are brawling! Mariah hits Storm low, then CLUBS her with the SHOOOE~! Christopher Daniels rushes in to stop this, he is removing Mariah from commentary. He warns her, she will lose her All In match if she keeps instigating things. Mariah says fine, but then Storm FLIES OFF THE STAGE!! The AEW Women’s World Champion just wiped out her challenger and The Fallen Angel! The brawl continues and the fans are loving it! Storm drags Mariah towards ringside!
Security rushes out here, the fans boo, they want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” The two hellcats are separated, but then Storm’s opponent comes after her! The fans boo and Mariah smiles because now Rache Chanel is gonna do her dirty work! Chanel whips Storm hard into steel steps! Then she pushes Storm in the ring, and the bell rings. The “Fashionista” BOOTS Storm down! Chanel says she’s gonna be champ herself! Chanel whips, Storm gets around, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Chanel flounders to a corner, and now Mariah scowls as Storm runs up, SWEET HIP MUSIC! Storm drags Chanel out while staring Mariah down.
Chanel ROCKS Storm with a forearm! Storm just grins! Chanel spins, into a wrench and kick! Then STORM ZERO!! Cover, Storm wins!
Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall
And Storm storms right to the apron! The security stays in her way, but this war at Wembley is going to happen! Will Mariah survive the fury she has unleashed within Storm?
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
“I first met Will Ospreay when I was 18 years old. Of course at first I was intimidated by Will, he was this big star, I was this skinny kid from Australia. I don’t know why he took me under his wing, but I am a better wrestler, probably a better man, because of it.” MJF’s cowardly attack on Ospreay angered Kyle. For all the things Ospreay has done for Kyle, Kyle promises to have his back until the day he dies. The Aussie Arrow is after MJF this Wednesday, but will he even make it past The Machine here tonight?
MJF visited Arena Mexico.
It was last night that Maxwell Jacob Friedman begrudgingly went down to Arena Mexico to defend his “great nation’s honor” against Templario. MJF got the tour, he waved the American flag, and questioned the legacy of Arena Mexico the entire time. But the AEW American Champion showed off “a superior culture and a superior athlete.” The so-called American Hero at least kept the belt, so will he be more than warmed up for Dynamite this Wednesday?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Brian Cage!
The Aussie Arrow didn’t like The Machine mouthing off to him after squashing some rando on Rampage. Will Kyle come out of Collision in one piece? Or will we still have no answer to the question, “Who betta than The Machine?”
The bell rings and the fans rally for Kyle. Kyle and Cage tie up, and Cage digs in his heels as Kyle tries to push him back. Cage then powers Kyle to a corner. They go around, Cage RAMS into Kyle, but Kyle avoids the chop! Kyle CHOPS back, but Cage flexes. Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks, Cage powers up and out, then drops down to ELBOW Kyle! Kyle staggers up, Cage runs up, but Kyle throws him out! Kyle then CALF KICKS Cage off the apron! The fans fire up with Kyle and he builds speed. Kyle DIVES, and down goes Cage! The fans fire up more and Kyle brings Cage up. But Cage RAMS Kyle into the apron!
Cage sends Kyle into steel steps, then refreshes the ring count. Cage drags Kyle up and to the ramp. The fans boo but Cage suplexes, only for Kyle to slip free! SUPERKICK! Kyle then goes up the ramp, runs back down, and uses that momentum to CANNONBALL! Direct hit and the fans fire up while Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle brings Cage up and over to put him in the ring. Kyle steps in, but Cage BOOTS him! And GERMAN SUPLEXES! Kyle flounders, Cage fireman’s carries, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Kyle writhes while clutching his neck! Cage smirks and paces before he drags Kyle up. Cage waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX again! Kyle flops around, Cage storms over, and Cage stands on Kyle’s head! The ref counts, Cage hauls Kyle up and bumps him off buckles. Cage CHOPS and Kyle sits down. Cage digs his boots into Kyle’s face, but he lets off as the ref counts. Cage stalks Kyle, taunts the fans, but Kyle fires body shots as Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Kyle has Cage up top! But Cage fires body shots, then HEADBUTTS Kyle! Cage scoops Kyle for a SUPER SPINNING POWERSLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and the fans are thunderous! Cage says time to end it! He drags Kyle up, reels him in, but Kyle cradle counters! TWO!! Cage escapes, but Kyle ROCKS him! Cage SUPERKICKS back! Kyle ROLLING ELBOWS! Cage roars, so Kyle SUPERKICKS! Kyle runs, ducks the lariat, then the southpaw, to hammerlock, gut wrench, and TOMBSTONE!! Cover, KYLE WINS!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall
AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE! Don Callis is proud of his Protostar for making it past The Machine, and Kyle gets a mic. Kyle wants to talk to one person and one person only: M J F. Kyle knows that MJF is sitting at home, no friends, no family, because we all know that MJF is the most selfish son of a B ever. Kyle hopes MJF is quaking in his boots, feeling a tingle in his tongue, because Kyle just dropped a 300 pound monster on his neck! And MJF knows if he takes that this Wednesday, maybe MJF doesn’t go to Wembley. And the idea of that fills Kyle will so much joy! He has an idea! If MJF is the “American Hero” he says he is, then he’ll put his American title on the line!
The fans like the sound of that! And then Kyle thinks HE goes to All In to face his best friend, Will Ospreay. How’s that, Max? Will he accept? Or is he a coward like we all know he is? But then MJF calls to “Koyle” from the tron! MJF says Kyle sounds like a moron. MJF sounds ilke a perfect American. Kyle is the typical foreigner, stealing things away from hard working Americans! There is a list of guys in front of Kyle that deserve a shot at the most coveted title in all of professional wrestling. Not everyone gets to be famous by riding Will Ospreay’s coattails. Some people become famous by beating Ospreay without breaking a sweat and getting an easy win.
Not that MJF expects that from “Koyle,” because he isn’t an American Hero like MJF. But MJF isn’t just a hero, he isn’t just humble, he isn’t just handsome, he is also selfless. So he will give “Koyle Fletcha” the opportunity of a lifetime. He will get an eliminator match. If Kyle can pin or submit MJF in North Carolina, in front of all the White hick trailer park trash, MJF will give Kyle a shot at the title the very next week. But that won’t happen. MJF will tell you what happens. Unlike Kyle, MJF is not some Australian barbarian, he is a professional wrassler, an American Hero, and he will teach Kyle what real wrasslin’ is all about!
And for that lesson, you can thank MJF later. The stakes have been raised, and that’s good enough for Kyle. Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mark and earn his shot at the title? Or will the Wolf of Wrestling snake his way right through Carolina?
Bryan Danielson speaks.
“I learned a long time ago that pain is just perception. When I’m hurting, I’ve got the biggest match of my career, it’s serving me well right now. A lot of people think that they know what 100% is. 100% is where 101% is not possible. I’m training for this at 100%.” Wheeler Yuta says people forget Bryan is an animal, a killer. The switch is flipped, this is the most focused, driven and violent Bryan has been in a long time. Bryan is pushing Yuta, too. Go for the neck, because Swerve Strickland, the most dangerous man in AEW, will of course go after it.
Bryan and Yuta are friends and see what they’re doing to each other. Swerve is Bryan’s opponent, Bryan is putting his life and his career on the line, so just imagine what Bryan will do. Bryan is ready for Swerve, Swerve is not ready for the American Dragon.
Backstage interview with Team Triple J.
Renee Paquette is with Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt. Double J is facing Bryan Danielson this Wednesday, and Renee did not expect it to get to this. Karen wants Jeff to reconsider but Jeff says no. Lethal says if not for Hangman Page, Jarrett would be fighting for the world championship at AEW Grand Slam. Sonjay says if not for Hangman, Jarrett would be King of Harts and going to All In. Karen says the problem here is that insane buckaroo wannabe cowboy! Jeff has everyone calm down. He didn’t get what he wanted, but neither did Hangman. The difference is, Jeff makes the most of his situation.
So to Bryan Danielson, Jeff couldn’t be more thrilled than to be part of getting Bryan ready for All In. But Bryan needs to be more than ready! He needs to be ready for Swerve! They all know Swerve is the most dangerous man in AEW. So Bryan better be ready for anything. This Wednesday, Winston-Salem, let us take it back to where Jeff broke in. Memphis, Tennessee was doing hardcore wrestling even before it was called “hardcore!” That’s right! No time limits, no disqualifications, ANYTHING GOES! That is to say, there are no rules this Wednesday!
Jeff says he respects Bryan as a wrestler, and damn sure respects him as a man. But as the old song goes, “Now you’re on the fighting side of me.” This Wednesday, Jeff introduces Bryan to The Last Outlaw. Will this go from a tune-up to a Smash Hit on Dynamite?
AEW Continental Championship #1 Contender’s Triple Threat: Lee Moriarty w/ Shane Taylor VS Claudio Castagnoli VS Tomohiro Ishii!
Speaking of title matches, The Rainmaker awaits the winner of this star-studded Triple Threat. Will it be #TAIGASTYLE looking to add another belt to the ROH Pure Championship? Will it be the Swiss Superman looking to get back to some gold? Or will it be the Stone Pitbull who knows Kazuchika Okada very, very well?
The bell rings and the three feel things out. The fans rally up, and then Lee kicks Ishii! Lee kicks again but Claudio blocks it. Ishii CHOPS Claudio, but then Lee blocks! Claudio ROCKS Ishii, Lee fires forearms on them both. Ishii ROCKS Lee, Claudio DECKS Lee! Claudio and Ishii start trading shots now! Lee BOOTS Claudio, kicks Ishii, CLUBS Ishii then ROCKS Claudio! Lee talks smack then runs, into DOUBLE SHOULDERS! The fans fire up while Claudio and Ishii shove each other. Ishii fires shots, runs, and RAMS Claudio! Ishii staggers back!

Claudio fights the grip, so Lee GEDO CLUTCHES! TWO, and Lee taunts Claudio!
Claudio runs up, Lee dodges and DROPKICKS! Claudio tumbles out to join Ishii, and Lee builds speed! Lee DIVES and he takes out both men! The fans fire up with Lee and Collision goes picture in picture.

Claudio kicks Ishii, then Claudio CHOPS Ishii, CHOPS Lee, repeat! Collision returns to single picture as Claudio fires more CHOPS! Everyone roars, Ishii & Lee DOUBLE CHOP Claudio!

Ishii ROCKS Claudio! Lee ROCKS Ishi!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Continental Championship)
The Swiss Superman snatched this one away, and now he takes on The Elite’s Rainmaker for the gold! But will Okada choose to go All In with Claudio? Or will he handle his business before the big night?
Backstage interview with Top Flight.
Lexy Nair is with Darius & Dante Martin, as well as Leila Grey, and notes that last Thursday night on ROH, we saw the debut of the “Top Flight Attendant.” Walk us through how this came to be. Leila says when Top Flight rang her call button, she stepped up. And together, they are taking off, straight to the top. A new look, but the goal is still the same. But then, “Hmmm…?” In steps The MXM Collection! Mansoor & Mason figure out what “TSA” stands for. And what is that? “Their Style is Ass!” MXM laugh it up. Look at Leila with her garish colors and that tiny tie. Is that a tie for ants?
But if Top Flight likes to fly, MXM just flew in from Milan. Do they know where that is? Oh, of course they don’t. They probably think it’s a cookie. Darius says MXM interrupting just put them on the No Fly List. And y’know what that means? It means they’re not fly! Well you know what this means? That this interview is over! Uh, this was Top Flight’s interview, not theirs. MXM still walks off, to POSE! Top Flight has no idea what to make of that, but will this make for a top tier tag team match?
Thunder Rosa VS Taya Valkyrie w/ Johnny TV!
La Mera Mera got screwed out of a Lumberjack match when La Wera Loca handed a turnbuckle bar to Deonna Purrazzo. But then Rosa made sure Taya couldn’t do the same to Willow Nightingale when Deonna was coming for the CMLL Women’s World Championship. Will Rosa wreck Taya for all her wicked ways? Or will Taya prove she’s AEW’s new “Main Character?”
The bell rings and Rosa goes right after Taya! Taya goes to ropes, Johnny protests, but Rosa runs Johnny off. Taya CLOBBERS Rosa, stomps her, then drags her up to bump off buckles. Taya stomps away on Rosa, digs her boots in, then lets off as the ref counts. Taya poses, goes back to Rosa and CHOKES her on ropes. The ref counts, Taya lets off, then she stands Rosa up to CHOP!

A congratulations, perhaps? Because you won your last two singles matches? Well, congratulations. Yuo’re on what we call, ‘a winning streak.’ Just like I was when I beat you three times in a row!” The fans boo but Rosa tells Deonna off in Spanish. And then she tells Deonna she can twist it all she wants, but she never truly beat Rosa. Oh, no? Hmm. Deonna is pretty sure the record books show that she’s won a singles match, in a No DQ, and a Lumberjack match.
Rosa says how about they go again in Arlington, in a TEXAS BULLROPE MATCH!? The fans like the sound of that! And boom, Tony Khan makes it official! Will Rosa use that rope to whip the ego out of Deonna?

Winners: Mark Briscoe, Darby Allin & FTR, by pinfall
Four Truly Relentless stars just won big on Collision, and Dax gets the mic. He’s said this more than he feels he needs to, but he LOVES pro-wrestling! On top of that, he LOVES AEW! This is the lifeblood of AEW right here! These four are the heart and soul of AEW! Wednesday, Saturday, Friday, or- THE ACCLAIMED is here! Caster did tell everyone they would… And Platinum says cut the music, no rap tonight. “The heart and soul of AEW? Really? Really? I don’t think so. If you really love AEW, let me ask: Where were you last week when The Best Wrestler Alive was in the Blood & Guts cage, fighting against The Elite?”
Caster & Bowens join everyone in the ring to get in FTR’s face. Caster asks where Cash & Dax were when The Acclaimed were fighting The Young Bucks when The Bucks were running things into the ground? Dax’s body can’t handle the grind, and let’s face it, Cash is not good enough to be on TV without his little buddy. So don’t ever talk about Acclaimed until you’ve down half of what they’ve done! And Bowens adds that he doesn’t know what The Acclaimed has to do to earn respect. Because last week, THEY were giving their bodies for this company! Bowens stabbed a man with scissors so that FTR have the chance to show up, whine and complain about their legacies.
Respectfully, The Acclaimed doesn’t give a s*it about FTR’s legacy. Caster & Bowens care about building theirs. The Acclaimed are homegrown! The Acclaimed are the heart & soul of A E W! EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! So Bowens will let them know that they don’t get to cut the line to face The Young Bucks, that right belongs to The Acclaimed. And the last thing he has to say is a friendly reminder: The scoreboard reads Acclaimed: 1, FTR: 0. So if they have a problem with that, Bowens suggests they nut up or shut up! Bowens drops the mic, and FTR fires hands! Billy Gunn & Mark Briscoe get in the middle of that!
Mark says no, this what The Elite want! This is what the Bucks, the EVPs, this is what they want! They want everyone fighting each other and not The Elite! Show some unity here! They are all AEW! The fans cheer that! Dax, Cash, Caster and Bowens all take a breath, and FTR offer a handshake. But Billy has his boys back off?! It seems the only way to settle this is to fight it out. Who comes out on top to go All In against Matthew & Nicholas Jackson?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, with matches that only did so much for story, but we did get really good promos to make up for that. Very good training montage promo from Bryan with Yuta to give more of Bryan’s side in the All In prep, but also really good promo from Triple J right after to raise the stakes on Bryan VS Jarrett on Wednesday. That one is actually gonna be pretty wild, could even be main event worthy. Very good opening promo from Christian & The Patriarchy. Luchasaurus is again disrespected, the fans want to see him turn, and it feels like we’re just a match away from that. Buddy is back, Bang Bang Gang wants another shot, I would love if there was like a Triple Threat Trios Championship ladder match, and Luchasaurus screws Christian over.
A good promo from Dustin, The Von Erichs & Sammy Guevara, but uh, is Sammy trying to make himself the Triple H in this Texas Evolution? Or maybe, he just wants it to be a Four Horsemen style faction where Sammy can be one of the singles champs in the group. Probably more the latter but it still seems an interesting move. I do appreciate Sammy saying he escaped a “vortex,” in reference to Jericho, and I suppose he could make a go of truly being Face, but time will tell. And we got a decent promo out of Top Flight with MXM, but Leila’s “Top Flight Attendant” origin story was lacking. She just used the flight attendant gimmick to explain that they asked and she jumped on the chance for TV time. But Top Flight VS MXM will be a lot of fun.
Hologram & Mistico VS Premier Athletes was a great opener, mostly because of Hologram. The fans love him, he is incredible, I just wish there was a title for him to go right after. Well, maybe the ROH World TV title. Atlantis Jr. VS Hologram could be some great stuff, and could be the way to bring the TV title back to ROH. MJF had a good vignette for his visit to Mexico, and Kyle had a good promo to explain his origin story with Ospreay. Kyle VS Cage was really good but Cage needs to stop trying to make the second rope spinning slam a thing, it’s not gonna work. The first time, with Rocky Romero, a much smaller guy, he botched it. This time, he almost botched it to where Kyle could’ve gotten hurt. Yes, it’s a creative idea, but not practical and therefore not safe.
Very clever stuff with turning Toni Storm’s squash match into an excuse for her and Mariah May to brawl. Storm of course still wins, but I feel like Storm VS Mariah should be a match that gets escalated with a stipulation, that’s how heated this is getting. Rosa VS Taya was really good, too, and naturally Rosa won. Rosa and Deonna are themselves escalating things, that bull rope match will be great stuff for next week, and I would think that is when Rosa finally wins one over Deonna. Then Rosa is primed for a title match after All In, and there are all kinds of possibilities. Rosa has beef with Storm and Britt from the past, but it’d be interesting to see Rosa VS Mone play out, too.
The Triple Threat Continental Contender’s match was great stuff. It hardly ever let up on the pace, was hardly ever two of them being 1v1 while the other guy rested, and even when it was, it was more Lee than the others resting since he’s the lighter guy, the more technical guy, and the Heel. Given that, and how Lee is a champion already, he lost out. I thought it was gonna be Ishii but Claudio is a great choice. I don’t know if that goes to All In, but it’ll be a great match all the same. If it is on TV, Okada is definitely winning. If it is at All In, maybe Claudio has a chance, but I still lean towards Okada winning out.
And we got a great All-Star 8 Man Tag. I thought Acclaimed were going to factor into the finish, but I appreciate that this match got a real finish. Taven sure took a lot of that, and I think that’s more because fans love seeing Taven eat crow for all his obnoxious behavior. But in the end, Acclaimed shows up to confront FTR as promised, and their promo really tore into those guys. As I said on Wednesday after The Acclaimed called FTR out, this has to be about a tag match, winners face Bucks at All In while the other team waits until All Out. Acclaimed mentioned being 1-0 against FTR, so maybe FTR wins to go to All In. Bucks VS FTR happens, maybe FTR wins, and then the tiebreaker, FTR VS Acclaimed part 3, happens at All Out. Or we get a Triple Threat to protect everyone, regardless of the result.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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