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?

Hangman Page VS Tomohiro Ishii!

The bell rings and the two RAM shoulders! Then they fire forearms! The fans rally as the shots keep going back and forth! Neither man is letting up, they might even be picking up speed! The fans fire up as this just keeps going! Hangman then gets the edge, but Ishii just roars! Ishii fires a flurry, but Hangman roars! And they go back and forth again! Are they ever going to stop? Hangman gets the edge again, then runs to RAM Ishii! Ishii rebounds to RUN Hangman over! But Hangman is right back up! They get forehead to forehead, then Ishii CHOPS! Hangman CHOPS!

Hangman leans into the CHOPS in a very Ishii way! Ishii still CHOPS, but Hangman stays up. Ishii CHOPS him again and that one stings!

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. Hangman goes out after Ishii now, and brings him up on the apron. Hangman CHOPS, then APRON DDTS! Ishii does a headstand against the ropes and the fans fire up! Ishii finally flops to the floor and Hangman soaks up the cheers and jeers. Hangman drags Ishii up, puts him in the ring, and then goes to a corner.

The fans fire up as Hangman climbs, and he FLYING LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Ishii survives and the fans fire up more! Hangman is annoyed, but then fans try to taunt him with a “Whose House?” chant. Hangman scowls, scoops Ishii, and he hits a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ishii is tough but Hangman is mad, and he ties up the legs into a GROUND CLOVERLEAF! Ishii endures, the fans rally up, but Hangman keeps Ishii down with stomps to the back! Ishii crawls, reaches out, and finds the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Hangman lets go at 4. The fans boo Hangman as he argues with the ref.

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. Tag to Cassidy, and #OrangeHook reunites to DOUBLE SUPLEX! Cassidy covers, ONE! Cassidy double checks and yes, it was just two. Cassidy bumps Keith off buckles, tags Kyle, and they whip Keith to then KNEE, basement DROPKICK, and cover, TWO!

Kyle KICKS Keith, brings him up, then fires more strikes! He KICKS Keith down, and tags in Mark! The fans fire up as Mark stomps Keith, then hauls him up. Mark suplexes high and hard, then he KICKS Keith in the back! Mark drags Keith up but Keith gets away. Tag to Big Bill! The fans fire up as he takes his time stepping over the top rope. Bill and Mark circle, and Mark runs up, but Bill grabs him by the neck! Bill puts Mark in a corner, but Mark dodges to CHOP and ROCK Bill over and over! Mark eggs Bill on, then dodges the lariat to CHOP! Bill KNEES low! Bill puts Mark in a corner to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP!!

Bill puts Mark in the Vortex corner, Jericho gets a cheap shot in, then Bill winds up to UPPERCUT! The ref has Bill back off, Mark fights out of the corner! Mark dodges Bill, they have a standoff, and then everyone else rushes in! The fans fire up as the battlelines have been drawn, and then it’s a brawl!

Kyle HOTSHOTS Keith, Hook ROCKS Roddy, and Roddy falls over railing and into the front row!

Things finally return to the ring, and Cassidy runs up, only for Bill to block the Orange Punch! Bill wrenches Cassidy for a straight arm lever! And SLAM! Bill drags Cassidy up to straight arm lever again! Dynamite returns to single picture as Bill tags Jericho. The fans boo but The Vortex mugs Cassidy!

Kyle runs up, into a KNEE! Mark runs up, but Keith kicks him first. Keith whips Mark to a corner, but Mark goes up and out! Mark RAMS into Keith, DUMPS him out, then builds speed! 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. Ricochet gets around, waistlocks, headlocks, but Kyle back suplexes. Ricochet lands out, waistlocks again, but Kyle elbows free. Kyle runs, but Ricochet hurdles! Ricochet runs, rolls off Kyle’s back, then roll sunder to handspring back! Ricochet RANAS Kyle, kips up, and DROPKICKS him!

Kyle tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Ricochet feels that energy. Ricochyet builds speed, but he hahndsprinsg to fake Kyle out! Superhero landing and the fans go wild! Kyle runs up, Ricochet UPPERCUTS him down! Ricochet PLANCHAS but Kyle moves! Ricochet hurries back to his feet and back to the apron, but Kyle CALF KICKS him down! Ricochet falls to the floor again, and Kyle takes aim! Kyle builds speed to DIVE, and direct hit into the railing! 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 goes to a corner, Ricochet runs in, but Kyle puts Ricochet on the apron. Ricochet SWATS the haymaker, goes up, but Kyle catches him off the ropes! Ricochet fights but Kyle still SWINGING SIDE SLAMS him down! Kyle seethes, he pushes Ricochet to a cover, TWO! Kyle is frustrated, and he paces around Ricochet. 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! Kyle goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, and he RAMS into Kyle! Ricochet goes to the apron, ROCKS Kyle, then springboards. Kyle dodges, runs up, but Ricochet wrenches and SCREW KICKS! NORTHERN LIGHTS, and a roll through to a deadlift ANARCHY PLEX! The fans are thunderous as Ricochet then RUNNING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO!

Kyle stays in this, but the fans continue to rally up. Ricochet drags Kyle up, fireman’s carries, but Kyle blocks the lift. Kyle throws down elbows, but Ricochet CHOPS! And CHOPS! And then LARIATS! Ricochet runs, but Kyle dodges to run through a lariat and LARIAT in return! Callis says follow up, but Kyle takes a moment to catch his breath. Kyle runs in at the corner to SMASH! Kyle whips Ricochet corner to corner, runs in, but Ricochet BOOTS him away! Ricochet somersaults to SHOTGUN! The fans fire up, Kyle bails out, and Ricochet builds speed. Ricochet DIVES, and direct hit into railing! Ricochet hurries and he puts Kyle back in.

Ricochet drags himself up the corner, and the fans fire up as as he reaches the top. DIVING- BOOT! Kyle has Ricochet in a corner, and he runs to BOOT again! And then a BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!?! Ricochet survives and Kyle cannot believe it! The fans rally, Kyle grits his teeth, and off come the elbow pads. Kyle aims at Ricochet, BANG and he runs, to CALF KICK at the ropes! But Kyle isn’t done, he reels Ricochet in! Ricochet fights the lift so Kyle gives stiff Kawada Kicks! POWER- NO, Ricochet slips out! Ricochet ROCKS Kyle, ROCKS him again, then V-TRIGGERS! Ricochet fireman’s carries, for a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!!

Kyle survives, sputters, but Ricochet roars! Ricochet reels Kyle in, dragon sleepers, inverted suplex and a DRIVER!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

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.

My Score: 8.8/10

Mitchell’s AEW Collision Results & Report! (2/8/25)

Collisions ARE bigger in Texas!

Published

on

Will Houston be Undisputed?

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions; The Undisputed Kingdom wins.
  • Bandido VS Bryan Keith; Bandido wins.
  • Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander & Brick Savage; LFI wins.
  • Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James; Dustin wins.
  • Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford; Rosa wins.
  • Mariah May VS Shay Carmichael; Mariah wins.
  • Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe; Kyle wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Tonight, it’s Kyle Fletcher, Mark Briscoe. Kyle, I know your type! You can’t handle your own business! You run around with that pack of wolves, the Don Callis Family! Hey, bring the whole family, line ’em up, I’ll knock ’em down! Tonight, it’s your ass! RAH RAH RAAAH!”

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“Tonight, I am on a mission. A mission to right a wrong. Now Mark, I want you to see the entire Family is her tonight, because they will not be getting involved. I’ll do this on my own, because even on your best day, you do not come close to the Protostar’s level.” Brian Cage & Lance Archer seem confident, but newest Family member, Mark Davis, seems conflicted. Will the Aussie Arrow really shoot down the Sussex County Chicken this close to Grand Slam: Australia?

 

Someone chucks security!?

It’s Marina Shafir! And that’s because she’s leading the way for Jon Moxley! The fans boo as The Maniac throws a fit, but then Marina snatches a mic for him. Moxley says this show starts when he says it starts! And he is getting a little sick of the Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland wants a shot at the AEW World Champion? Mox bets he does. Cope thinks he can throw his weight around, but he can’t! He has no power here! Moxley has a list of 1000 reasons why he won’t give Cope a title shot. The fans boo, but Moxley says he has 1000 reasons, but we’ll stick to the simplest one: Moxley doesn’t like Cope.

Moxley doesn’t like anything about Cope! Cope doesn’t know a single thing about Moxley, or about AEW, or about being AEW World Champion. Cope can take his challenge and stick it up his ass! But if it’s a fight he wants, Moxley will do it any time, any place! Here at the Marriott, in Toronto, in Cincinnati, in Asheville, or even next week on Collision in Australia! Let’s do that! Bring Jay White and Mox will whoop his ass, too! Bring that half-broken neck, bring White, and Moxley will whip both their asses! They just better hope and pray that Moxley has the grace to let them walk out of Australia on their own two feet!

If Mox decides it’s time to break Cope’s neck, Cope ain’t coming back! Moxley then drops the mic and storms off, Marina following him out. Is that Moxley making a threat? Or is he just trying to avoid a title match he might lose?

 

Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong want to prove they’re the strongest trio in AEW, so they’ll be taking on some strong competition! They got the better of Red Death, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange, and they got the better of Shane Taylor and The Infantry, but can they beat both teams at once? Or will tonight be anything but undisputed?

The trios sort out, and in this kind of Triple Threat, only two teams are legal. Roddy and Shane start, they tie up, and Roddy slips around to a headlock. Shane blocks on size alone, and he THROWS Roddy away! Roddy comes back to CHOP! Roddy CHOPS again, bobs ‘n’ weaves, but Shane blocks a shot to JAB! Shane talks trash, whips Roddy to ropes, but Roddy ducks ‘n’ dodges. Roddy then stops to BOOT Shane, ENZIGIRI, and he tags Kyle. Roddy & Kyle CHOP and KICK on repeat! They double whip Shane, but Shane DOUBLE LARIATS back! The fans are torn but Shane taunts Cole with, “SHANE TAYLOR, B*TCH!

The fans boo but Shane puts Kyle in the STP corner. Tag to Carlie Bravo, he tags Shawn Dean, then Dean sends Carlie in to forearm SMASH! Then the repeat, forearm smash! Dean adds an ELBOW, then a LARIAT! Dean covers, ONE, but Dean keeps Kyle with a facelock. Dean whips, Kyle grabs ropes, Daddy Magic tags in! Kyle kicks Carlie back, then Kyle and Menard DOUBLE SHOULDER Carlie! They argue now, but Dean SHOVES Menard into Kyle! Kyle tumbles out, Dean ROCKS Menard, then whips. Menard reverses and ELBOWS Dean down! The fans fire up for Daddy Magic and he fires up with them!

Menard CHOPS Dean, pushes him to the open corner, then he tags Parker. Parker whips Menard so Menard can send Parker in, forearm SMASH! Drop toehold! BOOYAH ELBOW! The fans fire up and Parker brings Dean around for a whip. Parker ROCKS Dean, whips again, and ROCKS Dean once more! Dean whips, Cole tags off Parker, Parker sends Dean into a BOOT! Cole and Parker fist bump in respect, Menard jumps on commentary real quick to say this is some 2-for-1 action tonight! Collision is live from coast to coast like butter on toast! Cole fireman’s carries Dean, Dean fires forearms, and Dean RAMS Cole into the STP corner!

STP mugs Cole, the fans boo, but Menard says this is what he’s talking about. Dean tags Carlie, the Infantry brings Cole out to scoop, but Cole slips free! Cole shoves Dean into Carlie, Garcia tags in! The fans fire up as the TNT Champion rallies on the Infantry! Menard is all fired up as Garcia rains down fists on Dean! But Carlie makes the save, only for Garcia to add Carlie to it! Garcia rains down fists on The Infantry, and he goes to nine, winds up, and hits TEN! The fans fire up again, but here comes Shane! Garcia says bring it! Shane swings, Garcia ducks to fire back! Garcia then gets around but Shane fights the saido!

Shane CLUBS Garcia, Dean trips him, and then Dean SLAMS Garcia on the apron! Carlie goes to the apron for a GUILLOTINE KNEE DROP! Menard hops off commentary to reinforce his team, but Shane still hits a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! STP stands tall and talks trash while Collision goes picture in picture.

Shane drags Garcia up, whips him hard into railing, and Garcia flounders to the commentary desk. The Infantry drags Garcia up, but Menard & Parker rush in! They all brawl, the ref reprimands, but Carlie puts Garcia in. Carlie JABS Garcia again and again in the corner, then pops, locks and CHOPS! Garcia sputters, Shane tags in, and they put Garcia in the open corner. Shane stomps Garcia, stands him up, then CHOPS! Garcia is stinging again but Shane stands over him. The ref reprimands, Shane backs off just to talk trash on the other teams. Shane stands Garcia up, but Garcia fires forearm after forearm! Shane’s BODY SHOT takes Garcia right down!

Tag to Dean, he and Shane mug Garcia, then Dean stands Garcia up. Menard rallies the fans but Dean CHOKES Garcia on ropes! Dean lets off, and Carlie gets a cheap shot in! Dean covers, TWO!

It’s all about the Boom, and that makes this match undisputed! Garcia realizes he was too little, too late. Cole wants to show Garcia respect, but then THE DEATH RIDERS ATTACK! Namely, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli & Pac! The AEW World Trios Champions beat down everyone, but especially focus on The Kingdom! Cole, Kyle & Roddy want to be the best trio, but the titles belong to the Death Riders. Claudio has a mic to say, “I just came out here to personally congratulate you on your victory. But more importantly, to remind everyone who the real best trio is around here.”

Pac & Yuta sit Cole up and Claudio says sorry, Cole, he couldn’t hear that over the ass whopping they just gave his team. Cole says you picked the fight with the wrong trio! Oh, is that so? But then STRONG KNEE outta nowhere! The fans fire up as the tides have turned! Kyle has Yuta in an ANKLE LOCK, and Yuta TAPS! Cole sends Pac running, but Claudio drags Yuta to safety!

So next week, Cole looks to cash in on that promise! The fans like where this is going. Next week, Dynamite, FOR the Trios Championships, Undisputed Kingdom VS Death Riders! And Cole swears to God, he promises on everything he believes in, the Kingdom will whip some ass and become the champions! THAT is undisputed! TK calls in, that match is approved! Will Cole, Kyle & Roddy be the three that free these Trios Championships from the Death Riders?

 

FTR speaks.

To make that a reality, they need to get the AEW World Tag Team Championships for a third time. Whoever are the champions, this message is for you. FTR is back. #TopGuysOut.

 

Backstage interview with Max Caster.

Alicia Atout is with Platinum Max and he makes sure to add, “Best Wrestler Alive.” Alicia brings up last Wednesday night, Caster provoking while his Open Challenge is ongoing. Caster says Hangman got angry at him when all he wanted to do was have his interview. The people wanna hear from the Best Wrestler Alive, and Hangman was taking forever. Caster simply asked Hangman to please hurry up, and Hangman got angry. That’s not how a man asks. Let’s not call him “Hangman,” this is “Hangperson.” And so if Hangperson wants to go a round with Caster, get in line, because his open challenge is going on. And thanks for mentioning that, Alicia.

So, who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? We’re gonna see this week on Dynamite! Caster will show everyone that you can’t be better than the best, and that is a mic drop! He even drops Alicia’s mic to prove it. But will Caster regret leaving the door open to an angry Cowboy?

 

Bandido VS Bryan Keith!

Speaking of angry cowboys, The Most Wanted finally returns to in-ring action, and he’s up against The Bad Apple! Will Bandido clear a path back to the ROH World Championship? Or will the Bounty Hunter collect on that $200,000 Chris Jericho has promised?

The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Bandido and Keith stare down, and then they fire forearms! The fans cheer this shootout, Bandido knees low, but Keith throws his poncho at him!

Backstage interview with “Powerhouse” Hobbs.

Lexy Nair is with Will Hobbs and says he asked for this time. What’d he like to say? Hobbs says hey to Big Bill, rubbing in that Keith didn’t collect his bounty. And guess what? Hobbs will be in Texas all week long. He’ll be looking for a fight, and maybe in Austin, Bill actually gives Hobbs a fight. Or maybe the Big Redwood is just a big baby. Hobbs has called out the rest of The Learning Tree’s Branches, will he cut them all down?

Rush y Dralistico made their return, and they want not just Beast Mortos but ALL of AEW to understand, that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will LFI look to stampede through the Trios Division now that they’re reunited?

Rush snarls, drops the chair, but then he DECKS a ref!! The fans are torn but Jake the Snake will have to handle that fine for Rush. But will Rush’s rampage continue until LFI are on top of AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Megan Bayne.

Well, Lexy tries to get Megasus to respond, but she just keeps walking. Thunder Rosa is there to welcome Megan to AEW. Megan ignores the high-five so Rosa says okay, she’s not about that. That’s fine. So much for Southern Hospitality. Rosa tells Lexy that Megan is superbad, too. Megan just got here, and she’s so mad! But whatever, we’re in Texas! And everyone knows about Texas hospitality! And tonight, Ford gets that “hospitality” because Rosa will make sure she has a memory that lasts. Let’s get ready to kick some butt! Rosa is all fired up, will she wrangle Penelope Ford like it’s a rodeo?

 

Harley Cameron is in the ring.

The wild Aussie has a couple guitars and a big puffy pink jacket as she welcomes Houston to the Harley Halftime Show! Ladies and gentlemen, she didn’t come alone. Oh, no no! Please say hello to PUPPET MERCEDES! Harley takes off her jacket and turns around to reveal her Muppet of Mercedes Mone is riding in her backpack! The fans cheer and Harley says Puppet Mone is a tiny lil’ baby. Now to kick things off, here’s a song you may know too well. It’s called the Money Train. Harley starts strumming the guitar, and she sings a long R&B note. The fans cheer, Harley sings she wants to RIIIDE~ the Money Train~!

The phone lights come out already as Harley repeats “The Money Train” again and again, but then the REAL Mercedes Mone interrupts! Mone is wearing the TBS and NJPW Strong titles while carrying the Rev-Pro and Queen of Southside belts. Mone has a mic to ask Harley, “Are you stupid? Or are you dumb? Nobody came out here to watch the Harley Halftime Show!” NO, they’re all to see #FourBeltsMone. So Houstooooooon~! Please say hello to your C  E O! The fans boo instead. Mone tells Harley that she doesn’t know how many times she has to tell her, but she is nothing but a l- LEGEND!! Harley cuts Mone off there and the fans cheer.

And with that said, Harley would like to begin her second song! “Hello, it’s good to see you, Miss Mercedes Mone. You’ve got four belts? Well I’ve got one dream! So, what do you say~? You come out here tonight, cut me off, and if I’m being blunt. I think the way you’re acting, well, are a cuuunning woman~!” And Harley will say it now, Mone is just afraid to feel the WRATH! THE WRATH! THE WRATH! The fans join in, “FEEL THE WRATH!” and Mone sarcastically plays along, until she grabs the guitar! The fans boo but Mone tells Harley to shut up. Harley is so talented, super talented, but let’s get real. If there’s anything real about Harley!

Mone doesn’t know why Harley wants a match with Mone when that little puppet on her back can wrestle better. So Harley needs to get out of her ring, because Harley is NOT on Mone’s level. Harley has the fans on her side as she tells Mone, “You’ore right. You’re right.” Harley is new to this. She can only ever dream to achieve in her career what Mone already has in AEW. But Harley has fought so hard to be here where she is today, and she’s NOT stopping! The fans cheer that! Harley would love nothing more than to face Mone in Australia, in her home city in her home country! And for the TBS Championship!

Mone is a game changer, yes, but Harley has to admit. In Mone’s whole career, the most entertaining that she’s ever been… is when Harley had her hand up Mone’s puppet ass!! The fans fire up for that! But Mone SLAPS Harley! The fans boo, but Harley gets pissed now! Harley shouts FEEL THE WRATH, then she DECKS Mone with the mic!! Mone bails out, grabs a new mic, and with the fans chanting Harley’s name, Mone says if Harley wants her shot at Grand Slam, then she’s on! But one more thing: Mone can’t wait to embarrass Harley in front of her friends, her family, and show the world why she IS the CEO!

Mone leaves, but Harley is just fired up to have the match she wants! Will she also take that title off Mone to finally be the Face of TBS?

 

Lexy Nair moderates the Continental Championship face-to-face.

She has Buddy Matthews with her, but Kazuchika Okada is clearly absent. Lexy says this was meant to be the face-to-face, so if Buddy wishes, they can proceed. Buddy says go ahead. Lexy asks Buddy what it’d mean if- Oh, NOW Okada shows up. The Rainmaker takes his seat, gets mic’d up, and asks for a water. Lexy thanks Okada for taking the time to join them. She wants to ask about the title match, but Buddy says he’ll handle this. Buddy scoots up and says they’ll cut to the chase: “In Brisbane, Australia, you and I will face each other. Australia’s best versus Japan’s best. But I haven’t fallen for this BS comedy facade that you’re playing.

“See, I know what the real Okada’s all about, and I know what he’s capable of doing. But I’m not sure he knows what I’m capable of doing.” The people stand by Buddy. Australia stands by Buddy! So it is time for Buddy to beat Okada for that title. Okada needs to look Buddy in the eyes and say if he thinks Buddy believes this or this is just some fake facade that Buddy’s playing. Buddy and Okada both stand up, and then Okada laughs. “B*TCH!” Buddy fakes a punch and Okada flinches! Buddy pats Okada on the shoulder, and tells him, “I’ll see you in Brisbane.” Buddy leaves, the staffer shows up with the water, but Okada throws it down.

Okada is furious that Buddy got the better of him, but will Okada get serious once the bell rings?

 

Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James!

The Natural is still fuming from everything MJF did and said just last Wednesday. Dustin looks to get his hands on that scumbag in Austin, but what will happen here in Houston? The bell rings, Dustin circles with Izzy and ties up. But then Izzy knees low, mocks the deep breath, then whips. Dustin slips around the lariat to then dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!! Dustin isn’t done, he hauls Izzy up to hit the FINAL RECKONING! Cover, Dustin wins!

Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall

And with that, Dustin grabs himself a mic! “Maxwell Jacob Friedman. You call yourself ‘The Devil.’ You’re not the devil. As I told you last week, I went to Hell, I looked at the Devil in his eyes, and I kicked his teeth in! And I ripped, teared, and crawled my way out! And the reason why is because I am a survivor! I AM the 56-year-old Last of My Kind! And Max, while you’re sitting at home in your recliner right now in Long Island, New York, I want you to know something. Every thing in your brain right now thinks that you’re gonna do to me, I’ve already done. Five DECADES. Blood, sweat, and tears, and passion, something you do not have!

“And guess what, Max? I am still here! Next week, in MY backyard of Austin, Texas, AEW Dynamite, I am going to drag you to hell, and you are gonna meet the actual devil! And I will give you a Texas sized ass whooping for the ages!” The fans like that! Dustin has a question for MJF: After MJF gets out of this business, will it remember him? Because it damn sure will remember Dustin! The fans are fired up, will MJF regret messing with this Son of Texas?

 

The Death Riders speak.

The Bastard says, “Finally, finally, finally! We have been the Trios Champions for what feels like an eternity, and there have been very, very few individuals who have had the guts, the bullocks, to stand up to the Death Riders. Well, gentlemen, we welcome your challenge. From true professionals, none the less. But understand this: We are the elite of the elite. And this week on Dynamite, we look forward to making an example out of you.” Claudio adds that the Kingdom has teeth, and he respects that. They have something worth the Death Riders’ time. Too bad the Death Riders will just have to pull those teeth out.

Claudio says they are the absolute BEST at this! Claudio leads the way out, and Yuta just adds a cocky grin. Will the Death Riders be unstoppable in their reign of terror?

 

Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford!

La Mera Mera is ready to rope ‘n’ ride, and she even has the Houston Texans’ Toro by her side! But will Rosa be running hot towards a title opportunity in the near future? Or will everything be superbad tonight?

AEW shares footage from last night’s DEFY Wrestling show.

But little did he know, SWERVE would show up! Swerve attacked, Ricochet ran away, but not for long as NANA put Ricochet back in the ring!

Lexy is with Houston’s living legend, the hit singer and entrepreneur, and welcomes him to the show. They have his burgers as part of catering, and it is fantastic. How does it feel to be back in AEW? Bun B says it’s always great to have AEW back in Texas. They’re all big fans here, they can’t wait for All In: Texas. But then Ricochet interrupts? He asks what this is. Oh, he knows now! This is Bun B, Trill Burgers, America’s best! And he’s a friend of Swerve’s, right? Well, if Bun B hasn’t been watching, but AEW is no longer Swerve’s House. It is now Ricochet’s! And Mr. B, but since you’re here, all these burgers now belong to Ricochet, too.

Ricochet says if they don’t mind, he wants to try one of America’s best. Ricochet says it looks aight. He takes a bite, and then SPITS IT OUT! This is what they’re serving? It’s trash! There are much better burgers out there. The server says everyone else likes them. Ricochet asks what that guy just said. W-Well, they like them… Oh, everyone else likes them? He DRAGS this guy onto the table and asks who he is to talk to Ricochet like that! Bun B tells Ricochet to stop that. Ricochet tells B to back off.

Toni Schiavone has a good point: Shay’s hair is a bit like Toni’s, could this be a case of Mariah taking her frustrations out on an innocent young wrestler? Wait, what’s in the fancy handbag? Mariah opens it up, and she brings out a black satin robe. Mariah dresses Shay up in it, so now she really looks like Timeless Toni!

Cage TOSSES another over road cases, and Davis drags Jon Cruz up to TOSS him into trash! Archer says it’s DCF VS Everybody, and EVERYBODY DIES! Kyle Fletcher said he won’t need these guys to help him against Mark Briscoe, but will that be true? Or will Mark prove the Continental Classic win wasn’t a fluke?

 

Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!

The Continental Classic’s round robin phase was almost perfect for The Protostar, if not for getting caught by #DemBoys. Kyle claims that was all a fluke and it’ll never happen again. But will the Aussie Arrow miss the Mark again? Or will he be able to #ManUp before Grand Slam: Australia?

Mark writhes and crawls to the ropes while Kyle soaks up more heat. Kyle stalks Mark, drags him up, and wrenches to whip. Mark goes up, around, and ROCKS Kyle with a forearm! Mark CHOPS, fires more shots, then whips. Kyle reverses, but Mark grabs ropes! Mark ELBOWS Kyle, then TOSSES him!

The fans fire up and Mark builds speed, to DIVE! CANNONBALL TOPE and it’s a direct hit! Houston is all fired up with Mark, and then Mark grabs a chair. Mark tosses the chair in, then brings out a TABLE! Houston fires up even more, but the ref tells Mark this isn’t that kind of match! Mark doesn’t care, he still sets the table up. Kyle hobbles around, rolls into the ring, and the fans chant, “We Want Tables!” Mark finishes with the furniture to then run in at Kyle. Kyle ELBOWS back, goes up, but Mark UPPERCUTS! Kyle tumbles to the apron then staggers around on the floor. Mark builds speed to WRECK Kyle with a dropkick!

The fans fire up even more as Mark takes aim. BANG BANG, FOLEY ELBOW- NO, Kyle catches Mark! And he pops Mark around to LAWN DART him into the post! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle tells the ref to shut it, then he flexes while he soaks up more heat. The fans boo but Kyle refreshes the ring count. Kyle sits Mark up to show how he’s busted open. Kyle kisses the bloody wound, then he APRON POWERBOMBS Mark! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle soaks up more heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mark crawls while the blood drips to the floor. Kyle flexes while he soaks up even more heat, and he wants on Mark. Mark slowly rises, but Kyle comes back around the outside. Mark makes it to the apron, only for Kyle to hit a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Mark flops back down, and Kyle tells the ref to hold on. Kyle whips Mark hard into railing! Kyle then sees Mark’s table, and he gets an idea. Kyle brings Mark up, puts him in the ring, and then he positions the table a bit closer to the ring. Kyle brings Mark up through the ropes, then to the apron. But Mark throws body shots! Mark has the fans fire dup, but Kyle stops the suplex!

Kyle tries but Mark fights the suplex! They both fight for control, but Mark then slips into the ring. Mark UPPERCUTS Kyle, and Kyle holds onto the ropes! Mark UPPERCUTS again, Kyle flails more!

But Houston loves it! Kyle stalks Mark to ropes, hauls him up, SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! But Mark’s on his feet?!? Kyle just gets him for another SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Mark staggers up again, but then leans against ropes. Kyle grins, reels Mark back in, a third SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF!

Kyle mocks Mark to get up, and Mark does rise! Kyle watches Mark stagger and tumble to the apron. The fans boo but Kyle goes out the side. Kyle positions the table and then goes up the corner! Kyle drags Mark up to the very top, but Mark fires body shots! RKF UPPERCUT! Kyle falls to the apron, then stumbles to the table! Mark is up, FROGGY-BOW down through the table!!!! The fans are going nuts, and Mark still stands back up!! Mark pushes Kyle into the ring, climbs back up the corner, FROGGY-BOW AGAIN!! Cover, TWO!!! Kyle survives and Mark is shocked! But Mark hurries to get Kyle back up!

Mark puts Kyle on the top rope backwards, then straitjackets him into the torture rack! Kyle resists using legs, but Mark CHOPS him on the back! Mark then UPPERCUTS Kyle, Kyle falls off the corner, and Mark goes up again. Mark reels Kyle back in, underhooks him, but Kyle fights free! GAMANGIRI!! And then another GAMANGIRI!! Kyle hoists Mark up, TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER!!!! Cover, KYLE WINS!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Mark’s win in the C2 was not a fluke, but Kyle made sure this one wasn’t, either! It was bloody and brutal, but Kyle then grabs a mic to say, “I told you…! I told you…! I proved tonight that Mark Briscoe’s win over me was a fluke! And in one week, I do the same to Ospreay!” The fans boo but Kyle says not only Ospreay, but Kyle will prove that the Best Bout Machine & The Aerial Assassin are no longer the future, but that the future stands RIGHT HERE! And it is The Protostar, KYLE…! FLETCHER!! The Aussie Arrow is as dangerous and confident as ever, but will he and The Alpha really win the Grand Slam tag team dream match? Or will the be beat by the Best Bout Bruvs?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, especially as a partial go-home to Grand Slam next Saturday. The cold open promos from Kyle and Mark were really good, but I’m still not a fan of cold open promos because they have to be quick and yet I can’t keep up with them that quickly. I do appreciate we got Mark Davis being a reluctant member of the Don Callis Family to help add to what we saw on Dynamite. Davis is clearly only in this to get back at Ospreay for Ospreay not being a better friend and all that, so he didn’t want to beat up on randos just because. And then Kyle VS Mark was an awesome and wild main event. Great win for Kyle, but that’s because Ospreay & Omega are gonna win at Grand Slam now.

Very good promo segment from Okada and Buddy to hype their match, and maybe Buddy wins, but I guess it really depends on how the Aussie win-loss record is gonna split. Harley Cameron and Mercedes Mone had a very good segment, though I thought we were going to get more songs from Harley before Mone interrupted. Harley getting the title match she wants is a great moment, but I’m thinking this means she loses her match. Mariah of course beat up her opponent tonight, but that was a great little surprise with Luther and Toni. The go-home math builds towards Mariah winning, but if anyone were to defy that expectation, it’s Toni Storm.

Moxley and Marina showing up to basically start the show was pretty wild, but what kind of promo was that from Moxley? Did he forget that just three days ago, Jay White made it clear it was going to be White & Cope VS Moxley & Claudio in a tag match? The way he worded it made it seem like he forgot, or like he was trying to make it his idea, not theirs. But we got better stuff from Claudio, Pac & Yuta after that great Trios Triple Threat. I figured the Undisputed Kingdom would win, and we’ll get an awesome Trios Championship match. I could see the Kingdom winning so as to put the Death Riders on the defensive with only the world title left.

Good stuff from the Ricochet VS Swerve story. Tying DEFY Wrestling into this is great, as well as having Bun B get in on that backstage promo. Revolution is definitely the goal for the Ricochet VS Swerve rematch, and I would think they up it with No Disqualifications and the robe being the unofficial prize. Good promo from Caster to call out “Hangperson,” but I would think Hangman does answer the Open Challenge for Dynamite. Dustin of course got a win tonight, and he called out MJF ahead of their match. That’ll be some great stuff, but I bet MJF cheats to win. Then maybe Jeff Jarrett goes after MJF to set up a match for Revolution. That or they give us Hangman VS MJF as they’ve been teasing.

Rosa VS Ford was a good match, but there was certainly a legit moment of concern for Ford in the middle. It might just be, but I feel like Ford hasn’t gotten the ring rust off even this long after her return. But Megan Bayne starting on a story with Rosa is great for Megan. Megan’s already strong, tall, with great presentation, so taking the fight to a former AEW Women’s World Champion is going to help establish Megan in the division. Megan can even be on the other side of a title feud after Revolution, depending on who holds what titles. Good promo from FTR, and I suppose they were being generic about who they were challenging as it might take time for FTR to get back to the tag titles.

LFI pulled off one of the gnarliest squashes I’ve seen, but that was a great way to get Hologram’s return. Hologram & Komander VS LFI is good stuff, and I feel like Hologram VS Rush should be the blowoff. Great match from Bandido VS Keith, and a great win for Bandido. Hobbs had a good promo to follow up while calling out Bill. As I said before, Bandido VS Jericho for the ROH World Championship is definitely happening. And then Hobbs VS Bill will be some great stuff, I’d love if they did some kind of ring breaking spot, same as we’ve seen many times in WWE.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Backstage interview with Jay White.

Renee Paquette is with the Switchblade, and says she wants to talk the newfound alliance he seems to have with Adam Copeland. Yeah, he made it just in time for the show, luckily they’re close to the airport. But that new relationship, that’s building in real time before our very eyes. There is no real history between him and “Cope,” but there is something there for him and FTR. They haven’t always seen eye to eye, but the last time they spoke, White said that to fight the Death Riders, he’d need to rely on those he usually wouldn’t. Now he must rely on FTR and the Rated R Superstar, Adam Copeland.

Because the Death Riders, they always seem to have the numbers. Well, speaking of, the Death Riders storm up on White! White wants them all to hold on a minute, let’s get a head count. Because up behind the Death Riders is Rated FTR! White shows that it is all right on time! And the brawl is on! White has Moxley while Rated FTR brawls with the AEW World Trios Champions! These eight throw hands as they move further backstage! Moxley sends White into road cases, but White hits back! Moxley RAMS White, the rest of the fighting is closer to gorilla now, and spilling out to ringside! The fans fire up as Cash sends Pac into railing!

Cash then brings The Bastard around to send into the side of a tunnel! Part of it chips off! Pac gets up to kick back, the brawling continues, and now we’re at the ring! The fans fire up as Cope RIPS Claudio’s shirt off to fire hands! Moxley and White brawl among the fans, and Moxley DUMPS White over railing. Dax beats Yuta down, Cope DUMPS Claudio over barriers, and White fires hands on Moxley! Yuta sends Dax into steel steps, but White sends Moxley into some! White and Moxley end up in the ring, but Yuta hurries in. White catches Yuta for a BLADERUNNER! But then Moxley has White! White clinches, Pac BOOTS him!

Dax storms in, Pac SOBATS Dax, runs, but Dax avoids the dropkick! Cash joins in, SHATTER MACHINE for Pac! Claudio drags Dax out, and SWINGS him into railing! Cash BLASTS Claudio, then DIVES into an UPPERCUT! Moxley calls to his Death Riders and they all mug White! The fans boo but Moxley tells White he can go to hell, because he doesn’t stand for anything! But Cope is up! Claudio saves Moxley to take the SPEAR! Moxley stays back, the Death Riders regroup, and now they’re in retreat. ATL cheers on Cope, and Cope tells Moxley, “I don’t know if you can hear it, but these folks here are chanting one name.”

So then, Moxley, what’s your answer? You still got a set of nuts? Is he accepting the challenge for the AEW World Championship at Revolution? Moxley storms back up to ringside, but only so far as to grab a mic and say, “You deserve nothing, you get nothing, the answer is ‘no.'” The fans boo but then White shouts at Moxley! White tells Moxley he has an offer for him! White can make Moxley Breathe with the Switchblade while drowning in a pool of his own blood! Moxley & Claudio VS White & Cope, ANYTHING GOES in a Brisbane Brawl, Grand Slam: Australia!! The fans like the sound of that! Will Cope & White make things Rated R when AEW goes down under?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Grand Slam: Australia!

After being called out by Buddy Matthews twice, Kazuchika Okada wants to prove “I not b*tch!” The Rainmaker is giving the Aussie Juggernaut his shot at the Continental Championship, but will he deny Buddy the hometown victory? Or will Buddy be the one to make it reign?

 

Will Ospreay VS ??? w/ Don Callis!

While the Aerial Assassin is going to be taking on Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher alongside Kenny Omega in Brisbane, it would seem the newest member of the Don Callis Family wants to fight him first! But just who is it? Callis makes his way out here with a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important announcement to make.” The fans chant, “F Don Callis!” but Callis says the opponent for Ospreay tonight is a man he knows very well! A man he called his brother! Ladies and gentlemen, it’s MARK DAVIS! Ospreay is completely shocked! Davis was last scene trying to knock sense into Kyle Fletcher! How did Callis get Davis on his side?

That mystery aside, the bell rings, and the fans chant “YOU SOLD OUT!” at Dunkzilla. Ospreay gets in Davis’s face, pushes him, then SLAPS him! Davis CHOPS Ospreay right back! And CHOPS him again! And again! The fans boo but Ospreay puts Davis in the corner to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Ospreay whips, Davis cartwheels and scoops Ospreay to SLAM him! But Ospreay avoids the senton, then basement DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Ospreay and he CLUBS Davis on the neck. Ospreay fires forearms, then UPPERCUTS! Ospreay whips, Davis reverses, but Ospreay KICKS in return! Ospreay then dodges a lariat, but runs into a BACKDROP!

The fans boo but Davis soaks it up. Davis runs up on Ospreay in a corner to LARIAT! Ospreay sits down, Davis runs and SLIDING FOREARMS! Ospreay clutches his jaw, Davis covers, TWO! Davis drags Ospreay up to scoop and SLAM! Davis looms over Ospreay, then drags him up. Davis wrenches and CHOPS Ospreay, then CHOPS again! Davis CHOPS Ospreay off his feet, and now SENTONS down on him! Cover, TWO! Davis brings Ospreay up to suplex high and hard! Ospreay clutches his back but Davis KICKS him! Ospreay goes to a corner, but Davis CHOPS again! Ospreay fires forearms and the fans rally up, only for Davis to CLAW Ospreay’s face!

Davis reels Ospreay in, puts him up top, and then throws sumo style palm strikes! Ospreay sputters, the fans rally, but Davis climbs up. Davis brings Ospreay to the very top, but Ospreay fires body shots! Ospreay sends Davis down, then springboards, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Direct hit and Davis bails out, but Ospreay kips up! Atlanta fires up but Callis coaches Davis while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ospreay aims, but Davis hurries up to HOTSHOT him first! Ospreay staggers away and Davis soaks up heat while going around the outside. Davis storms up the steel steps to get back in the ring, and he brings Ospreay up, only for Ospreay to KICK, KICK, and KICK! Ospreay whips, Davis reverses, but Ospreay wheelbarrows and steps through! Ospreay has the legs for a FIGURE FOUR! Davis endures and tries to pry the hold open, but Ospreay slaps the trapping leg back down! Davis grits his teeth but his shoulders are down for a cover! TWO, and Davis crawls backwards. Davis drags Ospreay along, and manages the ROPEBREAK!

Ospreay lets the hold go, then he grabs the legs, only for Davis to BOOT him away! Both men scramble to their feet, and Davis CHOPS Ospreay! And CHOPS him again! Ospreay blocks the next, then wrenches the arm to grab the leg! SHIN BREAKER, then a leg sweep! Ospreay steps through again, and it’s back to the FIGURE FOUR! Davis endures all over again, but he powers up to turn things over! Now Ospreay endures, and he crawls his way to the ROPEBREAK! The hold is undone, and both men slowly rise. Ospreay fires a forearm, Davis fires a CHOP, and Dynamite goes to break.

Dynamite returns as Davis soaks up heat. Davis storms up on Ospreay to CHOP! And CHOP! But Ospreay CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Davis shoves Ospreay to then CHOP LARIAT in the corner! Davis bumps Ospreay off buckles, then reels him in for a DRAGON SUPLEX! Ospreay goes flying, and then Davis adds a KNEE! Davis isn’t done with Ospreay, he pulls on the arms to then KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up as Ospreay survives, but Davis reels him in. Ospreay grabs a leg to CLUB it! Ospreay runs, but into a CHOP! Davis whips, Ospreay handsprings, and NEURALIZER KICK! The fans fire up as Davis goes down!

Davis goes out to the ramp, but Ospreay fires the fans up more! “BRUV! BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay takes aim to PLANCHA! Down goes Davis again and Ospreay high-fives Atlanta! Ospreay storms back up on Davis, puts him in the ring, then goes up the corner. Ospreay springboards, but Davis catches him! Fireman’s carry and- NO, Ospreay slips free to SUPERKICK! Ospreay swats the lariat to HOOK KICK! Ospreay then springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Davis survives, and Callis was almost in the ring to stop it! The fans boo Callis, Callis tells them to shut up, but Ospreay throws the elbow pad away!

Ospreay aims, runs up, but Davis LARIATS first! Ospreay stays up, and he fires a flurry of palm strikes! But Davis LARIATS again! Ospreay stumbles, Davis hops on, SATELLITE PILEDRIVER?! Cover, TWO!!! Ospreay survives that wild attack, but Davis snarls as he goes to a corner. Davis RIPS a buckle pad away! The fans boo but Davis storms back up on Ospreay. Davis drags Ospreay up, but the ref notices the bare buckle! The ref wont’ let Davis get that one! The ref and Davis argue, Ospreay HIDDEN BLADES!! Cover, Ospreay wins!!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall

Callis wanted Dunkzilla to be his “Ospreay Killer,” but the underhanded tactic did not work out! As for Ospreay, he grabs a mic to say, “Oh, yes, bruv! Atlanta! Oh my God, it’s like a little party in here, right? And Don. Seeing as you like to crash the party and you’re a little bit of a party pooper, I’ve got a new best friend back there who I’m teaming up with in Australia Grand Slam.” The fans chant for “KENNY! KENNY!” and here he comes! Callis is already panicking! Callis finds his way out into the crowd to run away as Omega makes his way down to the ring. Omega stands with Ospreay as the fans cheer him on.

Omega says, “Now, we’ve been here a couple times now, but I don’t remember a reception quite like that. So thank you very much, Atlanta.” Omega says this was meant to be a celebration for Ospreay, but Omega must get this off his chest. Omega tells Davis that man to man, Omega has no clue what Ospreay has on him, but trust Omega. Even though it might be scary, even though it might seem hopeless, help is there, and there are people you can trust. The fans cheer that. Omega says in a little over a week, Omega makes his AEW in-ring return with Grand Slam: Australia. But listening to these voices made him get that itch so he had to come out here in person, if they don’t mind.

The fans cheer more, and now Kyle and Konosuke storm out here! Callis tells them to stand down, they still have their tag match with Brody King & Buddy Matthews. Omega tells them all that they’ve done this song ‘n’ dance already. If the Callis Family wants this right here, right now, then go ahead. Omega’s an EVP again, they’ve got nothing but time. But if not… Then Omega suggests they pack their bags, hop on a jet, train, and get ready for Brisbane, Australia! Grand Slam, Ospreay & Omega VS Fletcher & Takeshita! It has been a long time since people could really feel what Omega was feeling in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023!

And now that Omega is BACK here in 2025, all the fans will get to feel the exact same things! Next week, it won’t just be a match for fun or to prove they’re better. This is the match to prove that the future of AEW lies not with those cowering on the ramp, but those right here in this ring! The fans cheer, and Omega says it may have been almost a year, but if they know the words, say it with him. He must bid you adieu, so goodbye, MWAH! And goodnight, BANG! Pyro goes off, and even Omega is surprised! But will it be no surprise when the Best Bout Bruvs bring down Don Callis’ cronies?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

Atlanta chants along, “We Hurt~ People!” as Montel Vontavious Porter and the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, make their way to the ring. MVP makes sure to say hey to Westside Gunn as he hangs out ringside. MVP then grabs a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, ATLiens, and the AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Right now, I need everybody to stand on their feet and respect for the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, your NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions!” The fans do stand and cheer, and MVP says that sounds good.

MVP says he’ll keep this short and sweet because they have to hop on the jet and head to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. MVP has to give props to Private Party. Two young, talented athletes with a very bright future, but they were just the wrong people in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was not their fault that they had to face the most devastating duo in ALL of pro-wrestling today! And MVP would like to put everyone else on notice: If you are an AEW athlete, if you are a champion, get ready. Because when the Hurt Syndicate chooses to come see you, they will hurt you and take your title!

But until that time, they’re open for business. And if you would like an opportunity to face them for the tag team championships, then- Wait. That music… “By order of the Bang Bang Gang… GUNNS UP!” Austin & Colten are here! But Lashley & Shelton don’t even bother looking at them, even as Austin & Colten walk down the ramp. Austin has the mic to say they mean no disrespect. But if they’re businessmen, then Austin & Colten would like to talk business. MVP says they don’t look like businessmen, and certainly aren’t dressed like it, but MVP says they’re at least conducting themselves as men, so go ahead. Step up and state your business.

Austin & Colten join the Hurt Syndicate in the ring, and Austin says before getting to the business, Gunns Up for the Atlanta Gold Members~! And to properly introduce themselves, they are The Gunns, former AEW World Tag Team Champions. They have been waiting TWO YEARS to get a rematch, and the only reason The Hurt Syndicate has those titles now is because Austin & Colten have been gone. But guess what? They’re back, baby! Colten says, “Oh, you guys hurt~ people~? Well, congrats on doing your jobs. That’s kinda what this business is about. But now it’s time for us to do our job, which is take back our tag team titles!”

MVP says he’ll tell them what. He appreciates the moxie and respects the courage. But he also respects their father, and if not for that, these two monsters would’ve already choked the Gunns out. But MVP is about business. He shakes hands with the Gunns, and says next week, for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, it’ll be the Hurt Syndicate VS the Ass Boys. The Syndicate moves on, and Austin says, “Ass Boys? Hey, Ass Boys? Y’know what? YOU GADDAMN RIGHT WE ARE! And if you’re not down with that, we got two words for ya! GUNNS UP!!” Austin & Colten no longer let words hurt them, but will a fight with Lashley & Shelton hurt well enough?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

At least, Renee is hoping to speak with The CEO. Instead, Muppet Mone pops in! “Atlanta~! Say hello to your C E O~! Renee, I have exciting news! This Saturday on Collision, Harley Cameron will be live in concert~!” Harley pops in and wow, she’ll be live in concert for a “Harley Halftime in Houston” special? Yes! What an amazing idea, Mercedes, that you totally came up with. Thanks! And y’know what? Muppet Mone isn’t such a dummy. She doesn’t get it. Of course not. But Harley says this is fantastic! They’re making up! Muppet Mone says she does want to apologize, she was so awful to Harley last week.

Um, real Mercedes Mone is walking out from her locker room. Mone asks Harley, “Are you stupid? Or are you dumb?” Renee says she’s glad to see Mone is here, she wants to talk Grand Slam and how she still doesn’t have an opponent. Harley did get her first win on TV, so maybe they can talk her trajectory. Mone says aw, Harley got her first victory, how cute. Mone remembers her first-ever win. And she also remembers the feeling of winning her first championship at the age of 23. And the feeling of winning another, and another, and then this title. And the TBS Championship is saying that Mone is the GREATEST TBS Champion ever!

And Harley? Well, she’s nothing but a loser. And losers don’t get to ride the Money Train! Mone SNATCHES Muppet Mone off Harley’s hand, to reveal a middle finger! Mone storms off, Renee hides the middle finger, but it’s a strong one. What will it take for Harley to force Mone into a Grand Slam showdown?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

AEW returns as Renee is now with The Cowboy, and she wants to follow up with him from last week. It seemed like Hangman was in pursuit of Swerve Strickland. Hangman says that was nothing. No, y’know what that was? That was a moment of weakness! It was a mistake! And that is all he’ll say on that, and Renee will not asking about it again, understood? Renee says okay, but then two weeks ago, Christopher Daniels came out to say that after their Texas Deathmatch, the damage was so severe that he had to retire from in-ring action. Correct her if she’s wrong, but there appeared to be regret on Hangman’s face.

Hangman simply says, “No.” Hangman says Daniels overstepped, overplayed his hand, and accepted a deathmatch with The Hangman. Hangman did what he said he would, and he hurt Daniels so badly that Daniels will never wrestle again! And Hangman does not regret- Wait, Max Caster speaks up? He wants Renee to have Hangman wrap this up. Caster’s been waiting! Caster respects Hangman, and what he did to Daniels was actually awesome, that was so brutal. Daniels had the neck brace and everything. What if Hangman did that to Anthony Bowens? Caster would do it himself, but he’s busy with his Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge.

Hey, what if Hangman hospitalized Billy Gunn? Hangman says Caster is on to something. Hangman would love to hospitalize someone tonight. But uh, Hangman doesn’t see Bowens and he doesn’t see Billy, but… Caster’s here. Y-Yeah! Okay, thank you for your time, he’ll just be going to his car. Caster leaves, Hangman says he’ll come with. Will Platinum Max ever learn how to not stick his foot in his mouth?

 

Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher VS Brody King & Buddy Matthews!

As we saw earlier tonight, The Alpha & Aussie Arrow want after Ospreay & Omega something fierce, but they’re going to wait until AEW arrives in Brisbane. As for the Hounds of Hell, they’re ready to take a bite out of any and every champion in AEW, so Konosuke’s on their list. Will Brody & Buddy build momentum going into Grand Slam: Australia? Or will the Don Callis Family be ready for the Best Bout Bruvs?

The teams sort out and Kyle starts against Buddy for a showdown of Aussies. The bell rings, Kyle and Buddy stare down and the fans fire up.

Kyle clamps onto the wristlock but Buddy rolls, rolls, and wrenches back. Buddy YANKS the arm, then YANKS the arm again! Kyle endures, rolls, and he wrenches in return.

Samoa Joe & Hook walk the halls.

The Samoan Submission Specialist asks if the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is ready, and Hook says yeah. But wait, where’s “Speak ‘n’ Spell” Shibata? Hook says Shibata’s back in Japan. But what’s going on? Joe says when people wrap steel around his skull, he tends to get emotional. Hook says Joe once said himself, if you’re furious, you can’t be focused. Joe is annoyed Hook is using his own stuff against him. But they still find The Patriarchy’s locker room. Joe tells Hook he can take lead. Hook storms up and opens the door, but in their way is Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian. Joe asks them, “Where is your daddy?”

Nick says Christian isn’t here right now. Do they have a problem, though? Nah, Joe & Hook can come back when Christian’s here. Kip says yeah, jog on. But then Joe says, “Or… We can leave a message.” Joe & Hook attack Nick & Kip! Joe SMACKS Nick off the locker while Hook hammers away on Kip! Christian Cage & Shayna Wayne walk in now, see what’s going on, and turn right around! Some father he is… Joe tells them to tell “Daddy” that he says hi. Joe & Hook leave and now Christian steps into the locker room, acting as if he didn’t know what happened. Christian pushes the cameraman out of there, was the message received?

 

MJF is here!

The Devil went down to Georgia, looking for a soul to steal, but seems so did this scumbag. MJF has them cut his music, and he calls out “Geriatric Jeff Jarrett!” All Jeff had to do was stay out of the way of a young, fast-rising, incredibly handsome, humble star, and he just couldn’t do that, could he? No, no, no, and that is why MJF had to teach Jeff a lesson. That lesson is as follows: in AEW, the “E” stands for “Elite.” Not “elderly!” MJF laughs at his own dumb joke, and then says that now that the “carny shmuck” is out of the way, MJF is one step closer to once again obtaining his Triple B! The fans boo that.

MJF says because ain’t nobody on the level of the Devil! Wait, Caster? What’s he doing here? MJF tells Caster to scram, but Caster is pointing to who he’s running from! MJF doesn’t care, this is his time, no Caster’s. But wait! Here comes Hangman! The Cowboy storms in, Caster runs but MJF stands his ground! Hangman stares MFJ down, then pushes past him to go chase Caster through the crowd! MJF asks if this is for real right now. This is his time! But the fans like #CowboyS*it, huh? Well, before he was so rudely interrupted by a talentless, worthless hack… Ain’t nobody- The fans tell MJF to STFU!

MJF does his best to finish his catchphrase, but now DUSTIN RHODES is here! The fans fire up as The Natural heads to the ring but MJF has them cut the music. The dual ROH World Tag Team & Six Man Tag Team Champion steps into the ring, MJF tells him that he was talking, but Dustin tells MJF to shut his stupid trap! All MJF does is come out here and badmouth everybody in the back, degrade them, and even talk about people who aren’t even here anymore, like Dustin’s friend, Owen Hart. MJF scoffs and turns around, but Dustin tells him to look him in the eyes, “you SOB!” Dustin suggests MJF keep Owen’s name out of his mouth, or else Dustin kicks MJF’s teeth in!

The fans fire up, and Dustin tells MJF to stop talking about people’s wives, about people’s pasts, their issues with drugs and alcohol. Dustin is one of those! 16 years clean ‘n’ sober, after going straight to Hell, looking the Devil in his eyes, and kicking his ass! Dustin crawls out of Hell, and he knows MJF ain’t the devil. MJF has all the potential in the world, yet he chooses to go to these dark places. There is a reason Dustin is still here at 55 years old, hanging with everybody on this roster! It is because he is a survivor! Dustin IS the Last of His Kind! Because Dustin has survived everything! Whatever MJF can think of, Dustin’s been though, boy!

The fans cheer but MJF doesn’t seem to care. Dustin tells MJF that when Dustin is gone, the mold will be broken forever. Dustin IS better than you, “and your punk b*tch ass freakin’ knows it!” The fans fire up for Dustin, but MJF says okay, okay, time out. Everybody, bravo, give it up for Dustin Rhodes! MJF applauds and says that was incredible. But MJF has to say, the part where Dustin said he is better than MJF? That was interesting. MJF imagines all those years of Dustin being a worthless drug addict turned his brain into Swiss cheese to come to that realization. But allow MJF to smarten Dustin and all these people on what Dustin’s all about.

“Dustin Rhodes is the man that took 37 long, hard, arduous years of blood, sweat and tears… Just to get out from understand his daddy’s shadow.” The fans boo and MJF says that struck a nerve with “Goldy,” didn’t it? MJF has a better one. The fans chant, “Whoop His Ass!” but MJF says what’s so sad about the whole thing, is that after all that hard work and sacrifice, now Dustin lives in the shadow of his baby brother! Dustin DECKS MJF! The fans fire up as Dustin stands MJF up and they throw more hands! Security rushes in here but the fans boo! “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Even Jerry Lynn gets out here!

Jerry tries to calm Dustin down, but Dustin breaks free to CLOBBER MJF! The fans fire up but MJF bails out the side! Dustin is fuming but MJF jukes the security! AND LOW BLOWS DUSTIN!! The fans boo as MJF stands over Dustin, a stupid grin on his face. MJF takes his leave for real this time, but now Christopher Daniels gets in his way. MJF tells Daniels not to touch him, but then realizes who he’s talking to. Hangman sure did a number on Daniels, didn’t he? MJF goes to the back, Daniels seethes, but will someone, anyone, ever humble the Wolf of Wrestling?

 

Mariah May is here!

The Glamour promised she’d watch as her former mentor battled her first-ever AEW opponent once again. But will Mariah like the outcome? Or will it be a repeat performance? Wait, Justin Roberts has a script to read from for Toni’s entrance? “Playing the role of The Glamour, Mariah May… Timeless Toni Storm!” Mariah has no idea what that means, but then her music plays again! And yes, much as when Mariah used to cosplay as Rockstar Toni, Toni is cosplaying as Mariah! Toni struts around, has obvious hair extensions, and perhaps does a bit more teasing with the finger and lips than Mariah does, but everyone else says that’s spot on!

Mariah is seething more and more the more Toni walks around, but will this still be a smash hit of a parody?

Toni Storm VS Queen Aminata!

The bell rings, Toni and Aminata circle, and they tie up. They’re in a deadlock, then break, and Toni tosses her hair and struts around some more. Aminata and Toni reset, tie up, and Toni headlocks. Toni hits a takeover, grinds the hold, and Mariah refuses to play along. Aminata headscissors, Toni shrugs it off, but Aminata gets the headscissors again. Toni moves around, kips free, but Aminata headlocks. Aminata grinds the hold, hits a takeover, but Toni headscissors. Aminata kips free, the two reset, and we see Serena Deeb watching backstage. Will The Professor of Pro-Wrestling think Aminata has passed the test?

Aminata waistlocks, headlocks, wrenches and then steps over to twerk attack! The fans cheer, Toni says, “How DARE you!” Toni SLAPS Aminata, kicks low, then scoops for the SPIN OUT SIDEWALK SLAM! Aminata drop toeholds Toni onto ropes! The fans rally, Aminata runs, but Toni dodges the boot! Toni runs to HIP ATTACK Aminata to the floor! The fans cheer as Toni does more mocking of Mariah before she fetches Aminata into the ring. Toni tosses her hair more, and Mariah seethes again, but Aminata DIVES onto Toni! Direct hit and Aminata mocks the Timeless closeup! The fans cheer, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Aminata realizes she has some of Toni’s hair extensions on her so she brushes those off. Aminata then fetches Toni for a headlock, and she runs her into barriers! Toni staggers away, Aminata refreshes the ring count, and Aminata storms up on Toni by commentary. Aminata SMACKS Toni off the desk, and Mariah turns away so as not to watch this. Aminata CHOPS Toni against the desk! Toni falls over dramatically, Aminata refreshes the ring count, but Toni hits back! Toni CLUBS Aminata, CLUBS her again, then CHOPS! Aminata ROCKS Toni, puts her in the ring, then scuffs her in the ropes. Aminata scuffs Toni again, but Toni fires back!

Toni runs, but Aminata LARIATS her down! Aminata soaks up cheers and jeers, then pushes Toni to a cover, TWO! Toni toughs it out but Aminata looms over her. Aminata snapmares Toni, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! Cover, TWO! Aminata grows frustrated but she sits Toni up for a chinlock. Toni endures, even as Aminata leans on her. Mariah is further annoyed as Aminata KNEES Toni in the back again and again! Aminata clamps on body scissors, and she squeezes tight. Aminata turns Toni over for a Gedo Clutch, TWO! Aminata turns Toni the other way, Gedo Clutch, TWO! Aminata shifts to have a leg hook FULL NELSON!

Toni endures, even as Aminata has knuckle locks to pull on the arms. Dynamite returns to single picture as Toni powers back to a cover, TWO! Toni ROCKS Aminata, ROCKS her again, then fires off forearms again and again! The fans fire up as Toni fires off TEN! Mariah still refuses to accept Toni’s copycat. For one, Toni is missing two very obvious elements. Toni puts Aminata up top, DOUBLE CHOPS her, then frolics around a la Mariah. Toni runs, goes up, and hits STRATUSFACTION! Then a SHOTGUN! Cover, TWO! Mariah mocks Toni being dramatic. Toni drags Aminata up, reels her in, but Aminata trips her to a jackknife bridge, TWO!

Toni CHOPS, but Aminata grins. Aminata CHOPS Toni, Toni CHOPS back! The fans rally, the CHOPS keep going, then Toni SLAPS Aminata! Aminata SLAPS Toni! Toni SLAPS again! Aminata runs up, but Toni wrenches, kicks, and whips! Aminata goes up and over, then GERMAN SUPLEXES! Toni tumbles and more hair extensions fall away! Aminata runs and the fans fire up for the BOOT WASH! Aminata again mocks the closeup, then she drags Toni in for a cover, TWO! Mariah says Toni is playing the role of Mariah, Aminata is apparently Timeless, where does it all end? Aminata drags Toni up, Alabama Lifts, but Toni turns that into a DDT!

Toni hurries to run, and she KNEES Aminata to a corner! Then Toni gives us a proper closeup, for the SWEET HIP MUSIC! Then Toni makes sure Mariah sees this as she fireman’s carries, MAYDAY DRIVER! Cover, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall

Mariah is fuming all over again, but Toni proves that anything Mariah can do, Toni can do better. Renee joins Toni in the ring to interview her. But then Toni wants Renee to play along and call her “Mariah,” The Woman From Hell. “And I stand on the neck of every woman in this division. And there’s not a woman alive that can touch me!” Mariah has had it! Mariah storms off commentary to get in the ring! Toni offers her a chance, but then Mariah storms back out to grab her belt and leave. Will Toni get the better of Mariah when they finally have their rematch?

 

Dustin Rhodes speaks.

“For 37 years, people have been chipping away, trying to put me in the ground. I’m still here! Maxwell Jacob Friedman, I live for blood, sweat and tears! I am the Last of My Kind! I’m around for a reason, boy! And next Tuesday night, Austin Texas, MY backyard, this ain’t New York City, this ain’t Long Island, I’m gonna beat your ass! B*TCH!” The Natural has put MJF on notice, but will everything be bigger in Texas?

 

The Learning Tree is on stage.

Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” are here, and Jericho says, “Hi, guys~! And welcome to a very special, first-time-live edition of The New York Minute with me, Chris Jericho!” The fans boo but Keith shouts, “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Jericho says they are here in Georgia, the Big ALT! Um, no… Keith says it stands for, “APPRECIATE LEARNING TREE!” Jericho is pretty sure he speaks for everyone here in ALT when he says he doesn’t know how Bandido decided he’s a Wanted Man returning on Collision. No one here wants Bandido in AEW! But since he’s back, Jericho will turn this into a teachable moment.

“Bandido, apparently there’s a $100,000 on your head. But since I’m standing here with an actual Bounty Hunter, this week on Collision on Saturday-” The fans tell Jericho STFU, but he says no swearing! Jericho promises to double the bounty to $200,000 if Keith can do to Bandido what Big Bill has done to “Powerhouse” Hobbs! Bill tells Hobbs that wherever he is, Bill hopes- WAIT! Hobbs is here!! And Hobbs runs up to brawl with all of The Learning Tree! The fans fire up, but this 3v1 isn’t going Hobbs’ way! But wait! The Outrunners run out here! Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum want payback for being cheated last Saturday!

The fans cheer as the fight is now even! Bill brawls with Hobbs, Jericho & Keith brawl with Truth & Turbo, but security hurries out here! Fan want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” Bill grabs one guard by his neck! But then he sees Hobbs doing the same with another security guard. Bill gives his guard a SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM to the floor! Hobbs gives his guard a POWERHOUSE CHOKE SLAM to the floor! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as both men storm into the ring! They circle, then they start throwing hands! The fans fire up, and Hobbs TACKLES Bill to the apron! But Bill drags Hobbs to the floor!

Bill CLUBS Hobbs, but Hobbs SPINEBUSTERS Bill onto the desk, and then over it! They still scrap on the floor! Atlanta fires up as Hobbs HAMMERS Bill, then stands up. Bill staggers to his feet, Hobbs fires more hands, and the cameraman is collateral! Refs rush out, Dynamite goes to break, and this has been a New York Minute! But when and where will Hobbs and Bill settle things once and for all?

 

Ricochet VS Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana!

This fight has been a long time coming, and the animosity only escalated with every week we had to wait! The One & Only is no longer pretending to be a hero, now he’s living the life of an American Psycho. But will that be enough to be the most dangerous man in AEW? Or will even Atlanta be “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

But Ricochet attacks from behind during Swerve’s entrance, and with a chair! The fans boo but Ricochet says this is because of them! And he SMACKS Swerve again! The ref reprimands, but there’s nothing he can really do since this isn’t a match yet! Ricochet SMACKS Swerve again! The fans rally for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” while Ricochet stalks Swerve. Ricochet puts Swerve in the ring, stands over him, and tells him that this is Ricochet’s House now! Swerve SLAPS Ricochet! The fans fire up, the bell rings, and Ricochet comes back to JUMP KNEE! Dragon sleeper, VERTIGO!! Cover, TWO!!

Swerve survives and Ricochet is stunned! Ricochet goes back to a corner, but Swerve crawls up to him! Ricochet kicks Swerve down, then hits a BACKBREAKER! The fans boo but Ricochet stands Swerve up to ROCK him! Ricochet scoops for another BACKBREAKER, but the fans taunt him with, “You Are Bald!” Ricochet CLUBS Swerve, dragon sleepers, but Swerve slips around to put Ricochet on ropes. Ricochet fires hands, Swerve fights back, and Swerve whips. Ricochet ducks ‘n’ dodges, jumps over the dropdown, then he SHOTGUNS Swerve as Swerve tries to hurdle! Swerve tumbles out of the ring, Ricochet builds speed, and Ricochet DIVES!

Swerve is sent into barriers, but then Ricochet whips him hard into railing! Ricochet soaks up heat from the fans, then he drags Swerve up to push against barriers. Ricochet hops up onto the barriers, then brings Swerve up. The fans step back a bit, and Ricochet reels Swerve in. Swerve fights the lift, throws body shots, but Ricochet throws hands! They both throw haymakers, the ring count climbs, and Ricochet gets the edge. Ricochet goes up, but Swerve stops the rana to BARRIER BOMB!! Ricochet falls in a heap and the fans lose their minds! Nana cheers Swerve on as the true and only champion that matters!

Swerve stalks Ricochet, puts him in the ring, and Nana keeps the “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” chant going. Swerve storms up on Ricochet, bumps him off buckles, then has him under the corner. Swerve rips the crossbar’s padding away, to GUILLOTINE CATAPULT Ricochet into it! The fans fire up again while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Swerve scowls while Ricochet sputters. Swerve stalks Ricochet around the corner, stomps him down, then fishhooks him into standing up. Swerve fireman’s carries Ricochet to then hit SNAKE EYES off the railing! Swerve then puts Ricochet against the apron to fire hands! Swerve puts some stank on it before he SLAPS Ricochet’s bald head! Swerve puts Ricochet in, stomps him again and again, then gets Atlanta really fired up. Swerve ELBOWS Ricochet down, then stalks him to a corner. Swerve climbs up to shine Ricochet’s head! Then SLAPS him again and again! The ref counts as Swerve keeps slapping!

Swerve reels Ricochet in for an Atomic BACKBREAKER! Ricochet writhes from being bent back against Swerve’s shoulder, but then Swerve drops a knee! Swerve drags Ricochet up, bumps him off buckles, then UPPERCUTS! Swerve snapmares again, then goes up to FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy as ATL cheers him on. Swerve then digs his boot into Ricochet at the ropes. The ref counts, Swerve steps off, and he looms over Ricochet again. Ricochet tries to push Swerve away but Swerve grabs an arm. Ricochet throws hands from below so Swerve KICKS him around! Swerve ROCKS Ricochet, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

Swerve throws hands on Ricochet again and again, then whips him to a corner. Swerve UPPERCUTS in the corner, snapmares him again, then goes back up. But Ricochet stands to kick the legs out! Swerve is stuck in ropes, and Ricochet hits as DRAPING CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet rains down fists, then growls in frustration. The fans rally but Ricochet brings Swerve up. Ricochet swings Swerve into a BACKBREAKER, then he basement DROPKICKS Swerve in the back! Ricochet keeps moving, and he FALLING AX HANDLES! Fans make up a new chant, “Who’s Bald?” “RICOCHET!”

Ricochet is annoyed, but he brings Swerve up. Ricochet ROCKS Swerve, but Swerve ROCKS him back! Swerve ROCKS Ricochet again, but Ricochet knees low, then CLUBS Swerve on the neck!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

A lot of controversy in that finish, and Ricochet grabs the robe! Nana also has it, but Ricochet SHOVES Nana down! Ricochet wears the Mogul Embassy robe, adding insult to injury as he takes his leave. Swerve is seething, but is AEW going to be #OuttaThisWorld from now on?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite, but with some new head-scratcher story moves. Mark Davis being the new Don Callis Family member would’ve worked better if this was months ago. Davis has been hanging around, but we barely got any interactions of him and Kyle or Don Callis, so there were no hints at Davis wanting to turn. That doesn’t make this surprise surprising, it makes it confusing. Ospreay VS Davis was still good stuff, and we still got a good promo from Ospreay with Omega to add to the Grand Slam tag match. Speaking of, great tag match of Konosuke & Kyle VS Brody & Buddy, but very fitting that Okada would screw Buddy over now that their title match is happening. As I said for Collision, Okada VS Buddy is going to be awesome, even if Buddy still loses.

Then there’s The Gunns challenging The Hurt Syndicate for the tag titles. It’s not even so much that the Gunns don’t deserve a title match, or that they and the Hurt Syndicate won’t put on a good title match, it’s just… We literally opened tonight with Jay White, leader of the Bang Bang Gang and friend of The Gunns. Why aren’t The Gunns helping Jay White against The Death Riders? Why isn’t it 6v4, but then the trios titles become the reason the Bang Bang Gang doesn’t quite help out Rated FTR like they should? I want to be frustrated for reasons that are perfectly in story, not because the story itself is lacking.

Though to that point, the Death Riders VS AEW story really should’ve been all encompassing. It felt like it was going to be that when this all started, with how Garcia, Private Party, Dark Order, and a lot of others were standing together against The Death Riders, but then it all fell apart because we still needed things like Garcia VS Perry for the TNT title and such. White & Cope VS Moxley & Claudio in a “Brisbane Brawl” No Disqualifications match will still be great stuff, and surely that compels Moxley to face Cope 1v1. I still think we need Christian Cage to get back on this story given his Casino Gauntlet contract.

Christian Cage was hilarious tonight by totally avoiding that beating Joe & Hook gave Kip & Nick. And while Shibata is apparently in Japan, he could come back and we get a Six Man Tag against Patriarchy. Harley Cameron was also hilarious, and between the Muppet Mone and the “Harley Halftime in Houston” segment this Saturday, Mone might be angered into giving Harley the title match for Australia. Toni Storm continues to be a creative genius in her own right where she imitates Mariah for her match with Aminata. Serena Deeb watching the match is another dropped ball TK picked back up, but I guess he kinda had to since Britt Baker didn’t want a feud with Deeb. Britt is a whole different issue, we might not get a real answer on that for some time.

MJF had a good promo, but Dustin showing up was a touch of a surprise. Dustin is upset not just for Jarrett but for the disrespect showing to Owen Hart, but of course MJF gets his own shot on Dustin. MJF VS Dustin will be some good stuff, but surely Double J goes after MJF and we get that match for Revolution. This week’s New York Minute might’ve been the best because it turned into that huge brawl, with the New York Minute graphic still on it. Keith VS Bandido will be good stuff, and surely Bandido wins to set up Bandido VS Jericho for the ROH World Championship. Hobbs and Bill getting to wreck security guards as fun, and they’ll have a great grudge match, too.

Great main event from Swerve and Ricochet, with Ricochet ambushing Swerve as a good start. While Ricochet didn’t get that poison-rana to the apron, that’s just one of those moments where they go just a little too fast and it doesn’t work out. Ricochet still did good improvising with that German Suplex, and then he of course wins with “controversy.” This is certainly going to give us another match, maybe even for Revolution, and they’ll surely turn it up a notch. Honestly, an apron poison-rana is more fitting of a rematch than the first time we see this match in AEW, so this worked out for the better.
