Jon Moxley is here!?
The Maniac is back in AEW for the first time since losing the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Forbidden Door! The fans fire up seeing him make his way through the crowd, but he has a very stern look on his face. It’s not that Moxley is never intense, but this is a different energy. Tony Schiavone hurries to get a mic so he can join Moxley in the ring. Schiavone brings up how it’s been two months, so how is Moxley doing? Everything alright? Moxley says he hasn’t talked lately, he’s been doing a lot of thinking. Thinking about things that need to get done. Moxley came looking for a man who is not here, to have a conversation.
This man is nothing like Moxley, yet he is everything like Moxley, so this conversation is long overdue. Moxley is here to let Darby Allin know, “It’s about time you and I had a talk. Trust me, I’m not gonna be hard to find.” The fans cheer that, and Schiavone says what a way to start Dynamite in Champagne, Illinois! But then Moxley says hold on. Moxley needs us to listen, because it will take time for everyone to wrap their heads around this. “This is not your company anymore.” Moxley leaves it at that, then leaves the ring, but what does he mean by that?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is with Orange Cassidy, Willow Nightingale, Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii, and the new FTW Champion, Hook! The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil has the belt back on his shoulder, and a bag of chips back in his hand, as Renee notes tonight, Ishii will be going against Hangman Page, and the rest of The Conglomeration is going to be in an all-star 8 Man Tag against Roderick Strong & The Jericho Vortex. Mark Briscoe says she’s right about one thing: A lot is going on tonight! #BigTom is gonna whoop some cowboy ass in ol’ Adam Page. and the rest of them have that 8 Man Tag!
Mark tells OC & Kyle, the three of them were not successful in the Casino Gauntlet, but however, who was successful? Their friend, Hook, in becoming FTW Champion. How does it feel. Pretty good. Damn right! And Big Tom, Willow, they were also successful in the Mixed Tag Match! Now Willow gets to decide what kind of ass whooping comes Kris Statlander’s way at All Out in Chicago! Willow, what you thinking, girl? Willow says whooping tushy is exactly what she wants to do! So bad in fact that the big dogs in CMLL don’t wanna sanction the match! But as the woman with the most Street Fights in AEW, there’s only one option! CHICAGO STREET FIGHT!
Mark says that’s what he’s talking about! So even though not everything went their way the other night, the word of the day today is quite fortunately, “indefatigability!” That is to say, the ability to not be fatigued! So tonight, they will whoop some ass! Big Tom, go whoop that cowboy! The group is fired up as the Stone Pitbull heads for gorilla! Will Ishii be ready to handle some #CowboySh*t?

Dynamite returns to single picture, and Hangman fireman’s carries Ishii! Ishii fights to escape to the apron, but Hangman HOTSHOTS Ishii! Ishii wobbles, Hangman triangle jumps, but Ishii dodges the lariat! Only for the SOUTHPAW to hit! The fans fire up while Hangman catches his breath.

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
Truly two of the hardest hitters in wrestling today, but The Cowboy had more in the chamber! But then SWERVE STRICKLAND is here! Hangman glares as Prince Nana and the former AEW World Champion make their way out. And if Hangman’s mad, then The Realest is pissed! Both men get mics, then they get forehead to forehead. They step back while fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve raises his mic to say, “I should stomp you into a bloody mess right now for you getting involved in my championship match at All In this past Sunday. But instead, I came out here to look you in your face and tell you, I feel sorry for you.”
The fans are a bit torn about that. Swerve says Hangman has become a petulant little child, and with every tirade and tantrum that he throws, he gets further and further away from success while Swerve gets closer to it. But make no mistake, Swerve may not have a belt right now, but he will always be referred to as a world champion! And this will always be whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” And when it comes to that, Hangman failed! Hangman tells Swerve to listen to him! Swerve is NOT a champion, not a world champion, not a champion of anything! Swerve is just a PIECE OF S*IT!! The fans are torn on that one, too.
Hangman reminds us that Swerve broke into Hangman’s home! Swerve wrestled Hangman THREE times, and could never, ever beat Hangman on his own! The first time, it took Nana. The second, it took Nana and Brian Cage. And the third time, it was 30 minutes and Swerve couldn’t do it! Swerve is NOT as good as Hangman! And we all know what Hangman wants. Hangman wants them all left out of it. He wants it to be him and Swerve, just like it all began. Hangman wants Swerve on his knees! Swerve says okay, lock them out? Let’s do that! Lock the others out, and lock the two of them in. All Out, Swerve VS Hangman, STEEL CAGE MATCH!!
The fans are loving that idea! Swerve asks Hangman something: What kind of man is he going to be in the cage? We’ll go back to Revolution. Hangman, Swerve, Samoa Joe, AEW World Championship Triple Threat, and Hangman gave up in the middle of that ring. Not because Hangman was beat, but because he didn’t want Swerve to have the title. That pissed Swerve off. Hangman doesn’t know about this, but you know what Swerve did? He drop up the road, went to Hangman’s house again, because he knows it very, very well, and he parked out in front. He waited until morning, and he saw Hangman and his pregnant wife, bags packed, getting in the car, driving to the hospital.
That was the day Hangman became a father for the second time in his life. That is when Swerve realized, that is the man Hangman Page was supposed to be. And that’s also when Swerve realized that he doesn’t need to worry about Hangman, he should care about the AEW World Championship. Swerve needed to focus on being the best by beating the best, and that is what he did. Mark Swerve’s words, it will happen again! The fans cheer that, too. But Hangman…? Hangman is so focused on Swerve, he can’t win The Owen, he can’t win the Casino Gauntlet, and he lost Blood & Guts because all he can do is focus on Swerve.
Swerve challenged Hangman to remind the world what Cowboy S*it is all about. And instead of trying to burn Swerve’s world to the ground, Hangman’s is the one going up in flames. So once again, here’s a question: In that cage, what kind of man is Adam Page going to be? Better yet, what kind of man is he going to show his kids? Hangman storms off, but is that him retreating? Or keeping himself from doing something awful to Swerve before All Out?
Jamie Hayter VS Harley Cameron w/ Saraya!
Just as The Outcasts were trying to hijack All In, the former AEW Women’s World Champion made her surprise return! Will Hayter hit Harley so hard, Saraya feels it? Or can The Outcasts find a way to send Hayter back to the sidelines?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Hayter, “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Harley runs up to fire forearms! The fans boo but Harley RAMS into Hayter again and again. Harley digs her boots in, the ref counts, but Hayter lets off. Hayter SMACKS Harley off buckles then stomps a mudhole! The fans fire up, Hayter lets off, and she whips corner to corner hard! Hayter runs up, but into a BOOT! Harley runs up, but gets tun over! Hayter hammers away on Harley, lets off to bring her up, but Harley JAWBREAKERS! Harley runs, but Hayter stops the tilt-o-whirl to LAWN- NO, Harley slips free and sends Hayter into buckles!
Harley runs up, but Hayter puts her on the apron. Harley ROUNDHOUSES, hurries in, and KNEES Hayter low. Hayter talks smack, runs, but Hayter stops the springboard to SLAM Harley down! Harley staggers up, but Hayter BOOTS her down! Harley bails out, Hayter goes after her, but Saraya shouts at her. Hayter shoves Harley in then glares at Saraya. Saraya runs away, Hayter goes up and into the ring. Hayter storms up, brings Harley up, but Harley throat chops! Harley wrenches, but Hayter denies her Sole Food! Saraya panics, Harley tries to shake hands, but Hayter YANKS her into the HATE BREAKER!
And then another HATE BREAKER! Hayter hits a third HATE BREAKER! The fans fire up and Hayter roars! Hayter hauls Harley up, cording holds, and HAYTER AID!! Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Saraya is stunned, she checks on Harley, but then uses Harley as a shield! Saraya shoves Harley at Hayter but Hayter knocks Harley down! Saraya runs away into the crowd! Will Hayter keep on throwing haymakers until she’s back on top of AEW?
Backstage interview with Roderick Strong and The Jericho Vortex.
Renee notes that The Savior of the Backbreaker is in action alongside The Learning Tree, The Redwood, and The Bad Apple. That all star 8 Man Tag is tonight, but let’s talk All In. Big Bill got a great reception from the UK crowd! What’s his reaction? Bill says, as Chris Jericho always says, the opinions of the fans change like the leaves of a tree. And Fall is right around the corner, so things are about to get colorful. Okay, sure. But then unfortunately, Jericho did lose the FTW Championship to Hook, how is that going to affect things going forward?
Jericho’s fake smile is plastered on his face while he races his hand. He take a moment before he says, “Hi, guys~!” But after 127 glorious days as the longest reigning For The World Champion ever, Jericho has to say Wembley was hard fought, and Hook came out on top. Why? Because he finally took the advice of The Learning Tree! Hook is now champion specifically and only because of the lessons Jericho taught him. Congratulations, Jericho is so proud. But then Roddy shouts “CHRIIIS! Jericho. Hey, man, I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, sorry for beating you like that, but it really is a huge honor for me to be a part of The Jericho Vortex, if only for one night.”
But Roddy wants Jericho to help him with Kyle O’Reilly. Roddy just can’t get Kyle away from Orange Cassidy, no matter what he does! Orange Cassidy is bad news, Roddy knows Jericho knows that. Jericho does know that, Roddy. Cassidy still owes Jericho $7,000 for ruining his jacket three years ago! And tonight, this group takes this out of Cassidy, out of The Conglomeration, and out of Hook! Tonight, all four of them will pay the price! PAY THE PRICE! Jericho leads the way out, and Bryan Keith says, “PAY THE DAMN PRICE!” This star-studded match has beef every which way you look, but who come out of it on top?
MJF is here!
Champagne is torn seeing the Wolf of Wrestling here, and he is in no mood as he is no longer AEW American Champion. He also has a lot of KT Tape on his neck, and he can’t even say for them to cut his music. MJF says he is in a tremendous amount of pain right now, and has a splitting headache, so he is going to politely warn the fans, if they do not pipe down, so help him, he will hop the guardrail to beat the holy hell out of each and everyone here in this Podunk arena. The fans boo but MJF scowls. MJF says he is talking! The fans tell him to STFU then.
MJF scowls and says after the events that transpired at Wembley, MJF has lost his ring, his championship, and he now has two herniated disks in his spine. And yet, where were all of them? When MJF was defending this country and this company, none of them had his back. MJF now denounces his American citizenship! He will no longer be associated with this garbage country! The only part of America that matters is the most magical place int he world: Plainview, Long Island, New York! MJF also denounces each and every one of these so-called fans who show him NO respect.
After everything he has done for this company, for the fans, for this sport, he is sick of allowing these people to live in lies. They all know that AEW without MJF is a circus! And speaking of circus acts, MJF calls out Will Ospreay. “The whole world knows I had you beat, Will. So what’d you do? You cheated like a gutless little worm. So let me make something very really clear. This ain’t over, boy, not by a long shot. Billy Boy, you best keep your head on a swivel. Cuz I know how talented you are, Will. I have no doubt that one day, you are gonna come this close to winning the greatest prize in this sport.
“And just as you are about to etch your name in the history books, I am going to cut you out at the knees, with a smile on my face! And last but not least, now I’m gonna talk to the worst of them all. The scum of the earth, a little child that I tried to help, a boy who wasn’t intelligent enough to realize it! DANIEL GARCIA, YOU BUM! If you show your face in MY company ever again, I am going to end your li-” GARCIA CLOBBERS MJF FROM BEHIND!! The fans are thunderous as Garcia hammers away on MJF’s head! Garcia throws off his shirt, drags MJF up, reels him in, and has the GUILLOTINE FACELOCK!! Garcia squeezes tight, and MJF’s out like a light!
But Garcia isn’t done! Garcia reels MJF in, lifts him up, and gives him mercy as he shoves him down! But then Garcia looks to a corner. Forget mercy, time to escalate! Garcia puts MJF up top, climbs up after him, and the fans are going nuts! But security runs out, so Garcia goes after them! MJF takes advantage and CLOBBERS Garcia! MJF rains down fists, then throws his suit jacket off. MJF storms up on Garcia, stomps away, digs his boot in, then lets off to soak up the heat. Garcia stands, MJF is after him, but Garcia turns things around! Garcia stomps away on MJF, then digs his boots in! The fans fire up as Garcia continues where he left off!
Garcia puts MJF up top, climbs up, and reels him in! MJF clings to ropes for dear life, and now officials rush out here! Christopher Daniels tells Garcia to let go! MJF slithers away by taking his shirt off! Garcia is held back by half a dozen guards, but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” MJF gets up, he shoves guards, but they all surround him, too! MJF and Garcia are kept away from each other, so Garcia grabs a mic. “Maxwell, you thought it was gonna be that easy!? Hey, Max, I know you’re looking for that Dynamite Diamond Ring. Let me tell you where it’s at. I pawned it off in Buffalo, New York, for a round trip to London, to ruin the biggest moment of your life!!”
The fans fire up and MJF is even angrier than before! Garcia tells MJF if All In was bad, what’s worse? Having your mother watch you stretchered out on the biggest night of your life!! That is bad! MJF says he has no remorse for Garcia, but Garcia says ruining MJF’s life is all he’s thinking about. It is his obsession! It is his new fetish! And Garcia talked with Tony Khan, so now, right down the road in Chicago, MJF VS Garcia at ALL OUT! Beating MJF in a match is not enough. Garcia won’t feel fulfilled until he’s picked MJF up, dropped him on his head, and left his neck broken! If there’s anyone else on this planet that cares about MJF at all, they’ll just have to watch MJF suffer!
Garcia then CHUCKS the mic, and he almost gets MJF at the top of the ramp! MJF is furious all over again, and while guards stop him from running to the ring, MJF accepts the challenge! The Scumbag and Red Death are going to have it out, will nothing stop them from tearing each other to shreds?
Ricochet speaks.
“When I walked through that curtain, you could just feel it. I made a moment. Me and AEW, we are here to innovate. I am exactly where I need to be. I get to give my fans the Ricochet they’ve been wanting. I get to do something I’ve been dying to do for a long, long time, and now I finally get to do that. This is just the first day of my journey, now let’s go see where this journey takes us.” The One & Only is now All Elite, will he make sure every show is #OuttaThisWorld?
8 Man Tag: Chris Jericho, “Big Bill” Morrissey, Bryan Keith & Roderick Strong VS Hook, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Mark Briscoe!
We’ve heard from both sides, and we’ve seen all these men face off before, but now things are even bigger as it all happens at once! Will The Learning Tree, Redwood, Bad Apple & Savior of the Backbreaker make The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil & Conglomeration pay with their blood, sweat and tears? Or will the ROH World Champion be right about their indefatigability?
The teams sort out and Jericho starts against Hook. The fans rally as they circle, and then Jericho tags Bryan Keith. The fans boo but Hook and Keith circle now. They tie up, Hook waistlocks and SLAMS Keith down. Hook SLAMS Keith again, then floats to a facelock to throw some body shots. Hook then hits a HALF HATCH and the fans fire up.

But Jericho slips in to LARIAT! Jericho cheers himself but the fans boo. Jericho wants them to get louder, and he builds speed, to wave, “Hi, guys~!” Hook runs up to DECK Jericho! Then a T-BONE PLEX! Roddy fireman’s carries Hook, GUTBUSTER DROP!
Kyle PENALTY KICKS Roddy! Roddy bails out, Kyle goes to the apron, but Roddy dodges the jumping knee! Cassidy gets in, with a chair! Cassidy sets that chair up, then builds speed to DIVE onto Keith! Mark uses the chair so he can FLY! Chicken takes out Redwood! Roddy rolls Hook up, TWO!! Hook escapes, but Roddy fires off a flurry of elbows! Then END OF- NO, Hook slips free, and has the REDRUM!! Roddy has the ROPEBREAK! Hook drags him from it, Roddy’s foot is under the ropes, but he TAPS! Conglomeration wins!
Winners: Hook, Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly, by submission
The ref misses the ropebreak, but now the brawl continues on the outside! Then The Kingdom CLOBBER Hook from outta nowhere! Matt Taven & Mike Bennett beat Hook up, Hook fights back! But the STRONG KNEE takes him out! And security hurries to stop The Vortex and The Conglomeration! Wait, Roddy picks up the FTW Championship? The Undisputed Kingdom doesn’t have gold anymore, are they looking to make that belt theirs now?
Mercedes Mone speaks.
“Helloooo~! Welcome to my party to celebrate me, and another W~! C E O! C E O!” But as Mone prepares to toast herself, Private Party joins in on the dancing. Marq Quen says they need to tell her how things go around here. You can’t have a party in AEW without Private Partaaay~! Isiah Kassidy says yeah, it’s illegal. But they still congratulate her on her defense at All In. And isn’t she also going to be at NJPW Capital Collision to defend her NJPW Strong Women’s Championship against Momo Watanabe? Wow, that’s a fighting champion, they toast that. They take shots, and then Brother Zay says he’s been meaning to tell Mone something for a long time.
Zay knows she’s single now, and he must admit, he’s loving the outfit. The fur is nice, he wears fur, too. And the color red is the color of love. And that red would look real good, right on top of Zay! Kamille storms right up to back Zay off. Kazuchika Okada walks in, and he says Zay’s got some of that liquid courage now. Zay says yeah, there’s plenty. Mone asks Okada how to say, “Bye, b*tch,” in Japanese. Okada whispers it to her, and she smiles. Then sayonara, b*tches! Mone laughs, and Private Party is thrown out of her party. Now, back to the celebration! C E O! C E O! Okada does his best to do the dance, will the Continental Champion be the one to win Mone’s heart?
AEW returns with Tony Schiavone on stage.
Schiavone welcomes us back to the show here in Champagne, and it is time for another champion celebration as we celebrate the NEW AEW Women’s World Champion. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s The Glamour, Mariah May! Mariah makes her entrance, and she smirks as she seems to be holding her robe in place. Schiavone is sweating already as he congratulates her on the homecoming win. He gets a little distracted seeing her legs, and Mariah takes it from there. She is the new AEW Women’s World Champion! Fans boo, they still like Toni Storm. But Mariah regrets to inform us that the AEW Women’s World Championship celebration has been… postponed.
Wait, postponed? Yeah, Mariah’s not doing what she promised in a town like this! The fans boo more, but Mariah says that while she loves champagne, this town should be renamed to “Flat, Stale, Piss-warm Beer.” The fans boo, but Mariah says judging by some of the desperately average looking women here, that kind of beer is something they’re all too familiar with having to shove down their throats, amongst other things. “What you desperately need is some Glamour. And luckily for you, that’s everything I am. In case you don’t understand, I’m going to take my robe off now and show you exactly what I mean!
“Look now and never forget: this is your NEW AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May!” And then she pushes Schiavone aside so she can reveal… She is clothed! But she is wearing the title belt, too. And that’s enough of that. She covers up and scampers off. Will Mariah feel more in the mood the next time she’s on screen?
The Grizzled Young Veterans speak.
It was backstage at Wembley Stadium, after the AEW World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat, which was also after GYV made their surprise AEW debut! “I am Liverpool’s Number One, Zack Gibson. This man is James Drake. Together, we are Grrrizzled Young Veterans. And-” They are interrupted by The Young Bucks, who are still the champions. They applaud and say that was a way to make a debut! Matthew & Nicholas like GYV’s style. They all dislike FTR, they both have “Young” in their tag team names, and they are all veterans here. Gibson has The Bucks stop there, GYV knows how The Bucks operate.
So GYV will make something very clear: They are not cut from the same cloth. They are not the same kind of veterans “as you two dweebs.” That was a message sent out there for FTR and The Acclaimed, as well as the entire AEW Tag Division, “a division that you two currently sit on top of. And know this: The GYV are here to stay in AEW, and we are coming for those titles.” Drake tells them to remember this: When you see GYV coming, #GritYourTeeth! See you soon, lads. GYV heads out, Matt says great first impression, pr*cks.
Grizzled Young Veterans speak live!
Gibson says they warned The Bucks, and they showed FTR that The GYV aren’t messing around! This Friday on Rampage, one unlucky team finds out firsthand exactly their intentions! So to whoever that is, remember this: when you see the GYV, #GritYourTeeth! Well, that unlucky team is going to be The Outrunners! Will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have those words engraved on their hearts after Friday night?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
On top of the AEW in-ring debut of Grizzled Young Veterans, we will see the return to AEW for Konosuke Takeshita! He did incredible in his first-ever G1 Climax, but he still lost out in the semifinals. Will he reestablish himself as The Alpha in a HUGE Fatal 4 Way against Komander, Lio Rush and The Beast Mortos?
Ricochet VS Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis!
From Chikara to Evolve, from Evolve to Dragon Gate, from Dragon Gate to Pro-Wrestling Guerrilla. Then from PWG back to Dragon Gate, then over to NJPW. From NJPW to NXT to WWE. The One & Only has collected titles and made moments all over the world of wrestling, is he going to do even more of that now that he is All Elite? Or will The Protostar make sure his star shines brighter than someone who is #OuttaThisWorld?
Callis of course joins commentary and the bell rings. The fans are fired up already for Ricochet, and Kyle shrugs that off. The two circle, approach, and they both shove each other. They tie up, Kyle headlocks but Ricochet powers up and out. Kyle runs Ricochet over! But Ricochet kips right up! The fans cheer again, and Kyle runs up. Kyle kicks but Ricochet deflects.

Kyle fires up and the fans are torn, but Callis says who cares about the rubes in Champagne. Kyle runs up on Ricochet, and he BOOTS Ricochet over railing!
The fans are still torn, but Kyle positions a chair. Kyle rallies the fans, gets some space, and he runs back in. But Ricochet uses the railing to LAUNCH himself, and he METEORAS Kyle down! Ricochet says “SUCK IT!” and the fans fire up! Ricochet takes a moment to catch his breath, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ricochet stands Kyle up, and he CHOPS him. Kyle goes around the way, Ricochet follows, and then Ricochet puts Kyle in the ring.

Kyle KICKS Ricochet, then stomps him at the ropes. The ref reprimands and counts, but Kyle just stomps and stomps and stomps! Kyle lets off so he can flex on the corner.
Kyle goes back for Ricochet, Ricochet pushes him away, but Kyle goes after him in the corner. Kyle CHOPS, and while he revels in the fans’ reaction, Ricochet just snarls and shakes it off. Kyle puts Ricochet in another corner, then winds up to CHOP again! Ricochet drops to his knees, that one hurt! Kyle drags Ricochet back up, whips him corner to corner hard, and Ricochet falls back! Kyle mockingly applauds and gives thumbs up for the new guy, then soaks up heat from the fans. Dynamite returns to single picture, and Kyle swaggers over, but Ricochet fires body shots! The fans fire up, Kyle takes a swing, but Ricochet dodges!
Ricochet mule kicks and Kyle drops to his knees! Ricochet runs, but Kyle says no to the Recoil! FLAPJACK, and a deadlift into the HALF NELSON SLAM! Cover, TWO! Ricochet stays in this, and the fans boo as Kyle walks around. Kyle drags Ricochet up, fires body shots, then he puts Ricochet up top. Kyle UPPERCUTS Ricochet, climbs up, but Ricochet resists the suplex! Ricochet fires body shots, then he ROCKS Kyle with forearm after forearm! Kyle wobbles, Ricochet HEADBUTTS him down! Ricochet goes to the apron, Kyle runs up, but Ricochet GAMANGIRIS first! Ricochet then springboards, FLYING LARIAT!
The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, the fans rally as hard as they can for Ricochet, and both men stand. Kyle swings, Ricochet bobs ‘n’ weaves to fire body shots, KICKS, and a forearm! Ricochet roars, whips Kyle, but Kyle reverses. Ricochet handsprings to BACK ELBOW!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
Kyle just got hit with a case of Vertigo, and Ricochet has his first AEW victory! Will this just be the first of many for The One & Only? WAIT! Will Ospreay is here! And anyone who knows these two knows they’ve met before. Ospreay’s shirt says it plainly, AEW is “Where the Best Wrestle.” The NEW International Champion has a mic and a smirk, but then Pac runs up behind Ospreay! POISON-RANA TO THE STAGE!!! The Bastard strikes first and he strikes hard! He grabs the mic to say, “William, William, William, let this be a warning to ya. Don’t you dare forget about The Bastard. And as for you, Ricochet, please allow me this opportunity to welcome you to AEW.
“Welcome. Now get to the back of the line like everyone else! This one here…! He belongs to me.” The Bastard was snubbed for an International Championship match at All In, but now he is looking to go All Out against Ospreay! Ricochet storms up the ramp while Pac leaves to check on his friend and rival. Will Ricochet make sure Pac feels some payback for this?
AEW Media catches up with Moxley.
They ask Moxley what’s going on. What did he mean by what he said? Moxley says, “I shall not cast pearls before swine.” And then he sees two prospects just sitting and talking, and Moxley says, “Okay, maybe just one.” Moxley asks what this one guy, “You know what we could really use around here?” What? MARINA SHAFIR BOOTS THE GUY DOWN!! And then she grabs the other guy to TOSS him into spare railing! Security asks Shafir to please leave, but she THROWS this guy, too! More security walks up, but then reconsiders.
Moxley says this is a lesson in humility. The Maniac & The Problem push the cameraman aside and storm off. Just what is Moxley working on now that he’s back in AEW?
Bryan Danielson is here!
Champagne cheers the NEW AEW World Champion as he makes his way to the ring. The fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” and Bryan is all smiles. They also add, “You Deserve It!” and Bryan says, “After trying and failing, and trying and failing, and trying and failing, finally… Bryan Danielson, The American Dragon, is the AEW WORLD CHAMPION!” The fans cheer that with “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan says in front of over 50 THOUSAND in Wembley. In front of his family at the front row. And then when he got to the back, his daughter said to him, “Daddy, this was the best day of my life.” The fans cheer that, too!
Bryan says granted, earlier in that day, she went on a Peppa Pig double decker tour bus, so that may have played a big part in that. But he knew that even before she said all that, Bryan knew when he got to the back and saw his peers congratulating him. He just knew it. That is now the number one favorite moment of his entire career. Bryan is already emotional and the fans cheer more. The fans chant, “Thank You, Bryan!” Bryan takes a moment, then says, “But… Then when I got to the press conference at the end of the show, they asked me the question, ‘What’s next?’
“And, uh… My contract with AEW expired on August 1st. I’m gonna be needing neck surgery sooner rather than later. And my family’s ready for me to come home.” The fans have mixed emotions about all that, but Bryan says that he has had a lot of thinking to do since Sunday. When he first got to AEW, one of the first things he said was “Thank you” to the people who started this place. Because if you’re here in the building tonight, you surely agree, AEW is awesome! The fans cheer that! Bryan has loved pro-wrestling his entire life, and the fact that AEW even exists makes pro-wrestling better, and has made Bryan’s life better!
So when Bryan thinks of all the things that AEW did, and when he got to the back and he saw his peers, and thinks of those who will wrestle for AEW in the future… Bryan realized that it is probably time for him to go home. But not yet!! The fans cheer that! Bryan says he will not retire as AEW World Champion, he will fight for this championship! He will fight as much as he possibly can! And hey, don’t get it twisted. As soon as he loses this title, his full-time career is over, but that won’t be any time soon! Because he still has a lot of heads to kick in!! So, All Out, Chicago, Bryan gets it. There is a young, hungry locker room back there. And Bryan has a title to defend.
So anybody who wants their shot, come get it! First come, first served, because Bryan Danielson is here to be the BEST AEW World Champion of all time! The fans cheer, but then Jack Perry gets on the tron! “‘Bryan Danielson Addresses His Future.’ Bryan, you don’t know your future. But I know mine. Let me connect the dots for you: Nobody wanted me back here. Nobody believed in me, including you. But you could have. So I had to go ahead and create my own future. A future that I knew I could have since the very beginning, and I started the day I got back here.
“I punched Tony Khan. I destroyed Kenny Omega. I won the TNT title. I buried Darby Allin in Wembley Stadium. Let’s not forget, Bryan, the only time that you and I have stood across each other in the ring, after I was set on fire, I beat you. And I’m gonna do it again. Because MY future is to retire The American Dragon, Bryan Danielson! My future is to be the World Heavyweight Champion! And whether anybody likes it or not, my future and the future of AEW are one in the same. Your future, Bryan… It’s behind you.” Bryan turns around, and JACK PERRY ATTACKS! The tron was just a recorded message decoy!
The fans boo as The Scapegoat CHOKES Bryan, then lets off to throw off his jacket. Jack then takes aim from a knee, and he runs up, SACRIFICE KNEE!! Jack Perry holds up both his TNT Championship and the AEW World Championship while he stands over Bryan! Is The Scapegoat about to destroy THE Goat, all to glorify himself? Or will he fail to slay The American Dragon?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to pull off the pivot from All In to All Out. Moxley returning, giving a cryptic warning, then having Marina Shafir return to AEW TV as his muscle, I sense some new take on Blackpool Combat Club with even more dangerous names. There’s also a good chance Moxley’s new team battles with Pac, Claudio & Yuta over the trios titles. His line about how this isn’t “your company anymore,” is that supposed to be aimed at Tony Khan? TK’s already got a battle for authority with The Bucks, not sure a third party needs to come in and stir things up more.
Actually, speaking of The Bucks, one of the only low points of tonight was what we got from Bucks and GYV. Not even that their promos from backstage at Wembley were bad, but it was redundant that they had that and GYV talking right after. Redundancy is what’s bad, and AEW tends to do it too often. Just do one promo or the other, then have it announced for Rampage that GYV faces Outrunners, and of course GYV wins. Pretty sure FTR will confront GYV right after that match, and maybe set something up for at least the All Out go-home episodes next week, maybe like the special Friday Collision.
Great promo from The Conglomeration as always, and I am so glad that Willow went with the Street Fight, I just felt that’s what she was gonna choose. But I hope CMLL is still letting this be a title match, Kris did win her shot at the belt, even if there was cheating. Then we got an awesome match from Hangman VS Ishii, and a great win for Hangman. Swerve confronting Hangman and putting forth the Steel Cage Match is also great stuff, that is already a show-stealer kind of match for All Out. Especially if they use it as an unofficial contender’s match, the winner starting their road back to the world title, perhaps in time for WrestleDream so Swerve can have his rematch against Bryan.
I might as well say this here: of course Bryan was sticking around! He wasn’t going to retire so soon after becoming champion, he was going to double down. He at least does put forth the idea that every title match from now on is Title VS Career, but I’m surprised it’s Jack Perry stepping up. We all know Darby Allin is waiting for the world title at Dynamite Grand Slam, so it’s not like a rematch of Jack and Darby wouldn’t be something to see. Another thing is, I don’t see Bryan VS Jack being Winner Takes All. Bryan is still retiring at some point, he’s not going to lose or vacate multiple titles. But at the same time, Jack isn’t at a double title level just yet.
Great 8 Man Tag from Hook and the rest of The Conglomeration, and it seems we have a feud trade going on. Roddy may still want Kyle to join The Kingdom, but he’s going after Hook now while the Jericho Vortex is reigniting Jericho’s feud against Cassidy. Not sure why it isn’t Samoa Joe & Katsuyori Shibata coming back around to help Hook, but Shibata is also a friend of Cassidy’s, so in a roundabout way, Shibata can still feud with Jericho because he can join Cassidy’s team. Just not sure how all these stories go. Hook can’t go losing the FTW Championship again, but Roddy shouldn’t be in a feud that he’s gonna lose, he has been doing that on and off with The Conglomeration.
Very good return match for Hayter beating up on Harley, and surely for All Out, she gets her hands on Saraya. Good promo from Mariah to truly tease everyone over her claims of a nude exhibitionist celebration. Assuming Toni Storm moves on from the world title entirely, that means the way is open for Hayter to go after Mariah by the time we get to WrestleDream or Full Gear. And good promo from Mone with Private Party and Okada. Okada for whatever reason was already playing “CEO Simp” and now he can keep doing that as he white knights for her and maybe takes on Quen & Zay on in different singles matches.
Great promo from MJF to do a 180 on America just because he lost, and great attack as well as promo from Garcia. MJF VS Garcia will be awesome stuff, could go either way, but you can bet it gets bloody, and the finish will be a Super Piledriver off a corner. Really good video and promo from Ricochet, and an awesome match from him and Kyle. I wonder if those crotch chops were meant for anyone in particular… But great win for Ricochet, and of course Ospreay wanted to be the first to welcome Ricochet, but holy crap that was a great surprise from Pac. That’s heat for Ospreay VS Pac at All Out right there, but we might also see Ricochet VS Pac on the go-home episode next week.

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
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-

Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!

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.

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!

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?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!

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!

Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around.

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
