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

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

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

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

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

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.

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks? Or will the Psycho Killer, the Dogs, and the Top Guys all stand tall on the road to Double or Nothing?
The teams sort out and the teams just brawl it out! The fans cheer as The Bucks have The Dogs, Cope is after Ciampa, Christian is after Cash, and Dax brawls with Cassidy!

Cash sends Christian into railing, then CLOBBERS Cassidy! Nick fires hands on Finlay, Cassidy sends Cash into railing!
Cassidy and Dax meet in the ring, Dax ROCKS and CHOPS Cassidy, but Nick sends Finlay into railing! Dax DECKS Cassidy, throws hands on Cope, but Cope fires back!

Cassidy kicks and kicks but Ciampa drags him back! Cassidy turns to BOOT Ciampa away! Dax tags in and he CLOBBERS Cassidy! The fans boo but Dax flips them off. Dax whips Cassidy, runs up, but Cassidy dodges! Dax POSTS himself! Both men are down, hot tags to Cash and Nick! Nick rallies on FTR with haymakers, BLASTS Ciampa, but Cash kicks low! FTR whips, DOUBLE HIP- NO, Nick lands out, MEETING OF TEH MINDS! Then DOUBLE WHEEL KICK! The fans fire up as Nick then DROPKICKS Dax out! The Dogs run up, but Nick knuckle locks and CHOPS Finlay! Then Nick jumps over Connors, SUPERKICKS, and he goes for the corner!
Nick goes up, up, and “LUCHA LIBRE~!” FLYING ARM-DRAG RANA COMBO! The fans are thunderous and Nick tags Matt. Nick whips Finlay, Finlay reverses, but Nick goes up and over. Matt SUPERKICKS Finlay! Nick SHINING WIZARDS Connors, adds a GAMANGIRI, then The Bucks DOUBLE BULLDOG with the high-five! The fans fire up again as Matt winds up. Matt WRECKS FTR with a dropkick, then holds the way open, Nick FLIES onto FTR & Ciampa! But Connors back suplexes! Matt lands out, and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Polar Express is getting going, and Finlay joins the ride! DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS!
The fans are electric and it’s not just the volt green! Time for a SUPERKICK PARTAY~! Wait, Stokely grabs a foot each! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Stoke can’t even trip The Bucks up. The Bucks drag Stoke in! Stoke pleads for mercy, but FTR runs up! The Bucks dodge, mule kick, then SUPERKICK for Dax! SUPERKICK for Cash! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS on The Dogs! Then FTR is sent into The Dogs before DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Ciampa runs up to waistlock but Nick switches. Ciampa BOOTS Matt away, ELBOWS Nick, but Matt dodges, PSYCHO KNEE into Cash!

The fans fire up again, and The Bucks see C&C. They point to Christian, and the fans cheer! Christian steps in, the ref reprimands but Cope argues with the ref. This distraction lets Christian LOW BLOW Cash! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Cash! Christian covers, TWO! Cash survives, the fans boo, but Christian rains down fists while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Cash CLUBS Christian, Ciampa HOTSHOTS the bad arm, and Ciampa hurries to tag in. Ciampa drags Christian around, SLAMS the bad arm off the mat, then SLAMS the arm again! Ciampa POSTS Christian, and Christian falls to the apron. The ref keeps his eyes on the rest of the team so they stay back. Ciampa goes out, and he SWINGS the bad arm into the post!

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?

Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?
The teams sort out, Lena starts against Slay, and the clock is ticking! Slay DROPKICKS, but Lena doesn’t budge! Ley ENZIGIRIS, but Lena still doesn’t flinch!

Ley tumbles, the fans cheer, and Megan tags Lena back in. Lena storms up on Ley to GERMAN SUPLEX again!
The fans cheer as Lena tags Megan back in. We’ve hit 90 seconds, but it feels like forever for Ley as Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Megan kips up, then she stalks Ley. Megan eggs Ley on, slaps her around, then drags her up. Megan fireman’s carries, but Slay manages to tag in! Slay runs up, but Megan scoops her! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
The Triangle of Madness may have misted Persephone and injured Alex Windsor, but that only heaps on more trouble for the champion! Thekla must now defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in a FATAL 4 WAY! Thekla VS Jamie Hayter VS Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida, is The Toxic Spider about to get squashed? Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10
