AEW “American” Championship Eliminator: MJF VS Kyle Fletcher!
The Wolf of Wrestling, who’s been more like a worm than anything, was willing to up the stakes on his match with the Aussie Arrow, but only so far. If “Koyle Fletcha” wins tonight, he’ll get another match that’s actually for the title, meaning the All In card could potentially change. Will The Protostar outshine this star-spangled narcissist? Or will he be just an example of what this “American Hero” is going to do to Will Ospreay?
Speaking of, Ospreay is watching backstage, both for keeping an eye on MJF but also keeping an eye on his best friend. Meanwhile, Don Callis is on commentary to say friends are fine, but they don’t compare to family and business. The bell rings and MJF bails out. The fans boo but MJF gets a mic and tells everyone to shut up! MJF wants to explain something to this “Australian Oaf.” Either he locks up like a real wrassler, or MJF leaves this Podunk town! The fans rally for Kyle, Kyle says fine, let’s grapple. MJF storms into the ring, then he kicks low! MJF suckers Kyle in and smirks, then drags Kyle up. But Kyle cradles! TWO!!

MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs and says that’s the end of it. MJF storms over to slap the “wannabe Ospreay” around. But Kyle scoops again! MJF fights free to avoid the tombstone! MJF wants mercy and he uses the ropes as defense. Kyle still drags MJF up, but MJF HOTSHOTS an arm! MJF HAMMERS away on Kyle, then brings him up.
MJF whips and WRINGS Kyle into buckles! Kyle writhes, and MJF soaks up the heat from the fans. MJF storms back over to Kyle, drags him around, and he stands on the hand to STOMP it!

The fans are thunderous again, but MJF is too tired to be upset! “This is Awesome!” as both men stir. MJF slowly sits up, stands and walks around. MJF taunts Kyle, scuffs him, but Kyle gets mad. MJF SLAPS Kyle, and tells him he’s just a wannabe Ospreay! Kyle stands and eggs MJF on! MJF winds up, but MJF SPITS at him! Now Kyle is pissed.

MJF runs up, KANGAROO KICK!! Then he drags Kyle up to suplex and BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, MJF wins!
Winner: MJF, by pinfall (denies Kyle Fletcher a title opportunity)
Callis tried to help in his own screwed up way, but it was perhaps the reason Kyle lost. MJF clears his path to Wembley, will he be able to focus on Will Ospreay?
Speaking of Ospreay, he wants to storm out there, but something is blocking his locker room door! He shoves harder and finds it’s road cases! Did MJF sabotage Ospreay like he did with the rental car a few weeks ago? Either way, Ospreay hurries from there to gorilla! MJF celebrates by having the ref raise his hand, and then MJF CLOBBERS the ref with the belt!! What kind of American Hero is that?! MJF waits on Kyle to get back up, and he has the Dynamite Diamond Ring on his finger! The fans cheer for Ospreay but the DIAMOND RING SHOT hits Kyle first! The fans boo MJF more, but MJF just soaks it all up.
But wait, MJF isn’t done with Kyle! MJF PUNCHES away on Kyle’s forehead, and Kyle is busted open! MJF says this blood is on Ospreay’s hands, not MJF’s! The fans boo but MJF says he is gonna do what Ospreay didn’t have the balls to do. MJF reels Ospreay in, tucks the arms, and shouts for the Tiger Driver! BUT HERE COMES OSPREAY!! Ospreay slides in, MJF bails right out! He might even get out of Winston-Salem! Ospreay calls for medical, Doc Sampson hurries in, and Callis tells Ospreay to give Kyle space. Kyle regains consciousness, Ospreay explains about the road cases and Callis can’t believe MJF would do this.
Did MJF still do what he said by sending a message to Ospreay? Will the Aerial Assassin have the perfect response come Wembley?
Mariah May VS Viva Van!
The Glamour is back in action because she will not be outdone by Toni Storm. Even after a vicious brawl between them, The Leading Lady still won her match on Collision. Will Mariah do that and more here tonight on Dynamite? Or can The Hellbent Vixen throw the 2024 Queen of Harts off her game?
The bell rings and Mariah runs up to HEADBUTT Van! Van staggers up, Mariah waistlocks, but Van switches. Mariah switches to GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah smiles while Van flounders to a corner. Mariah storms up, hammers away on Van, then lets off to push Van out of the corner. Mariah steps out to the apron, climbs up the corner, and she MISSILE DROPKICKS Van down! The fans chant, “We Want Toni!” “No We Don’t!” Mariah is annoyed, she dribbles Van off buckles again and again! The fans boo, the ref counts, and Mariah lets off. Van sits down, but Mariah stomps a mudhole in! The ref and Mariah argue, and the fans boo.
But Van rolls Mariah up! TWO! Mariah ducks the backhand to LARIAT! Mariah runs, to SHOTGUN Van back down! The fans boo, Mariah rains down fists, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref reprimands about closed fists so Mariah lets off. Mariah storms around, soaks up heat from the fans, then goes back to Van. Mariah drags Van up, taunts her, but Van shoves her back. So Mariah BOOTS Van down! Mariah kicks Van around, taunts her, then drags her up. Mariah snapmares Van to run and PENALTY KICK! Then Mariah drags Van up to TOSS her out! Van flops to the floor and Mariah acts all dramatic like Toni Storm. The ring count climbs, Mariah smirks as she sees Van drag herself up to the apron. Mariah storms over but Van RAMS into her! And slingshots up and over to get moving, for a WHEEL KICK!
Mariah tumbles out and the fans rally. Mariah throws a fit, Van storms out after her, but Mariah DECKS her! Mariah whips Van hard into railing! Van slumps to the floor and Mariah has another sinister smile. Mariah argues with the ref some more, then goes over to Van. Mariah drags Van up, puts her in the ring, and storms in after her.

Mariah is still playing with her food, and she hits a STORM ZERO!! Cover, Mariah wins!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall
The Glamour shows her sadistic side, and surely there’s even more where that came from. But wait, someone delivers a special gift to Mariah? Mariah looks at the card, and it just says “Happy Birthday.” Mariah peels the paper away, to reveal a picture of her and Storm hugging it out. But what’s it say on the back? DIE MARIAH DIE!” Mariah is pissed now! But HERE’S STORM! She came back in disguise just like before! They throw hands, but Mariah kicks low! Mariah grabs the white high heel shoe! But Storm grabs it, too! They fight over it, but the ref stops Storm! The fans boo, but then more refs rush in!
The refs and even security separate Storm and Mariah but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” Storm gets loose, she throws hands on Mariah! Mariah hits back, but then they’re separated again. Only for Mariah to scramble free! They scrap all over again, the fans are on Storm’s side! But with just 18 days left, what happens when we see these two dangerous divas go All In?
Jack Perry watches back tape.
Specifically, Darby setting him on fire at Double or Nothing, and Darby wanting to set him on fire at Blood & Guts. “Everything in life has a price. The question is how much you’re willing to sacrifice for it.” Darby was TNT Champion, and he wants to be TNT Champion again. There is footage of other TNT Champions in the mix, such as Adam Copeland, Samoa Joe, Sammy Guevara and Scorpio Sky. “Those who shape the future carry the burden of destroying the past.” Jack SMASHES the screens with a fire ax! And only The Scapegoat remains. Will he make sure that’s how it is after All In?
Darby Allin speaks.
“Last time me and Jack were in the ring together, everyone was asking me, why didn’t I just light him on fire and end this whole thing? It’s simple. Cuz you (Jack) would have every excuse not to show up at Wembley. TNT Champion? I don’t even know the last time you’ve been on TNT. Well, you talk about sacrifice, ‘You gotta sacrifice this, you gotta sacrifice this.’ You don’t have to sacrifice any more of your time, Jack. You don’t gotta show up on Dynamite, you don’t even gotta show up this Friday on Rampage when I wrestle in Winston-Salem. You don’t even gotta show up on Collision. But you gotta show up at All In in Wembley.”
The Relentless One has put Jack Perry on notice, will The Scapegoat be the one sacrificed in the end?
Katsuyori Shibata VS Bryan Keith!
The Wrestler wants revenge for everything The Bad Apple and his new mentor, “The Learning Tree,” have done over the past two months. Not just to Shibata himself and that attempt to break his arm, but how Chris Jericho literally drove Samoa Joe through a wall, and how Chris Jericho literally threw fire at Hook’s face. Jericho will be on commentary alongside The Redwood, will they all see Shibata chop Keith down?
The fans already rally for Shibata, but Keith wants him to stay back. The ref has Shibata step back, and then Keith sucker punches Shibata! Now the bell rings and Keith still CLUBS away!

Shibata then shouts out The Von Erichs with the IRON CLAW! Keith endures the squeeze, but then Shibata throws him into an ARMBAR!! Keith TAPS, Shibata wins!

Hook warns Jericho that revenge is coming for them! Will someone cut down The Learning Tree once and for all to take back that FTW Championship?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Renee Paquette is with Freshly Squeezed, and notes he wanted a rematch with Roderick Strong, Rush & The Beast Mortos, but unfortunately, the rest of The Conglomeration is not here. Travel issues abound because of Tropical Storm turned Hurricane Debby, so what is Cassidy going to do? Cassidy says he’ll still go out there. Wait, is he sure that’s a good idea? Probably not. Though, Cassidy did find a few local boys that were looking for a fight, so here we are. Okay, then, just let Renee know if Cassidy needs anything. Does she wanna wrestle for him? Nope. Yeah, he didn’t think so. But then just who did Cassidy find to team with? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is with The Black Hat Cowboy and brings up last week, his loss to Darby Allin. Ever since Hangman’s return, from The Owen Hart Cup to Blood & Guts to even last week, he hasn’t exactly been getting the outcomes he’s wanted. Hangman says there has been one thing, one man, that he wanted to take everything from. “To leave him with nothing but the ash of his pride. But for that one man, there had to be a dozen or more other dumbasses to get in my way! And justice delayed is justice denied!” Hangman says look at him and believe when he says that he will have what he wants. It’s fairly certain who that one man is, but when and where will Hangman get his shot at him?
Jim Ross has a sit-down interview with Swerve Strickland.
Good ol’ JR is with the AEW World Champion, and is just excited about what the fans are going to see. JR isn’t sure enough of them even understand what they’ll miss not watching All In. It motivates JR as a broadcaster, so does it motivate Swerve as a wrestler? Absolutely, and in every single way. Every fiber of Swerve’s being, every molecule in his body, is beyond motivated. Taking on legends at All In, losing there, but then coming back to be in the main event a year later, that means the world to Swerve. That path truly changed him as an individual.
JR admits, Swerve’s done some controversial things. Swerve says for sure. Is there any remorse over those actions? Or was it more, he did them because he “had to?” Swerve says that as he’s said before, you knock on the door long enough and no one lets you in, you gotta make more noise. And if you make enough noise, people listen. Then as Swerve thinks back on the violence, the punishment that Bryan Danielson inflicts… Swerve says no, he has not overlooked how physical this match is going to really be. JR agrees there, too. Swerve was sitting back watching Bryan kick people’s teeth out quite literally, and on TV.
Swerve knows what Bryan has left in him, and that is why Bryan is fighting as hard as he is, especially against Swerve because Bryan knows how hard it is to face Swerve. JR says Bryan is wrestling this match as if it is his last, and it very well could be. Win, lose or draw, this is it. Swerve says even before thinking about the title, as if that wasn’t enough of a motivator for Bryan, Bryan has made it about legacy. That is what is on the line. Bryan is at a crossroads over the simple fact that, “Who is Bryan without wrestling?” Bryan needs something to get up and fight for, and without that something, who is he really?
Swerve wonders, if roles were reversed, would Bryan give a damn about Swerve? Would anyone that swerve was on his way out? JR says that in all honestly, they shouldn’t. Swerve says that’s right, so why should he care about Bryan? Swerve is in the driver’s seat, he controls the narrative, the fate, the future. That is what worries some people about Swerve having the world title, and it should worry Bryan, too. Because well, does Swerve really care about Bryan being a father? No. Going home to his family? No, not really.
JR says this will be the toughest match of Swerve’s career, and Swerve asks why. What happens when Bryan’s body gives out on him? What if those arms just don’t work anymore? Or his neck seizes up? Everyone talks about what they’ll do to inflict pain on someone else, that is what makes them “so good” or “so dangerous.” But what do you do when none of that works because your body doesn’t work? JR says Bryan is still going to be hard to beat, so can Swerve beat him? Swerve says no only can he, he will beat Bryan Danielson at Wembley Stadium. That legacy will belong to him now. The American Dragon is stepping into Swerve’s House, will he not make it out?

Dax stays in this, but Mortos stomps him down. Tag to Rush, he scuffs Dax then stomps him more. Rush kicks Dax around, then clamps on a chinlock. Dynamite returns to single picture while Dax endures and fights up. Dax fires body shots, then CHOPS! Rush CHOPS again! Dax staggers back, Rush CHOPS again! Dax fires hands on everyone! Dax bobs ‘n’ weaves, so does Rush, and DOUBLE HAYMAKERS take both men down!

Winners: Orange Cassidy & FTR, by pinfall
Callis is furious, but the celebration for FTR is short lived as here comes The Acclaimed. Max Caster has the mic, but it isn’t working! Dax says it sounds like it isn’t just him, and it sounds like it isn’t just North Carolina. Seems production doesn’t want Caster to talk anymore, either! Dax says he has all the respect for everything The Acclaimed has done for AEW, he really does. But here’s the problem: this goes beyond AEW. Security appears to keep Caster & Bowens from the ring. Dax admits, he isn’t as eloquent as Caster on the mic, but FTR are real men. Just break through that wall and bring it.
The fans fire up as Caster & Bowens try to reach the ring, but now even Christopher Daniels and producers rush out here to stop this! So FTR rush out to go after Caster & Bowens! The fans cheer, Cassidy shrugs, but the fight is broken up. FTR want to be contenders but The Acclaimed are the #1 contenders, so what does all this animosity mean this close to All In?
BREAKING NEWS for All In!
Tony Khan has decided to make the already massive return to Wembley even bigger than that! There will be a Casino Gauntlet match! The winner earns themselves a guaranteed AEW World Championship match at some point in the future! Bryan Danielson and Swerve Strickland are already going All In, who looks to do the same?
The Patriarchy speaks.
Christian Cage says, “Now it seems there’s a bit of a problem at the top of the Trios Division. You have The House of Black, that were the #1 contenders until they unfortunately lost a member for a period of time, and are looking to stake their claim to that prize once again. And then you have on the other hand, the former champions, The Bang Bang Gang, the champions that we beat, looking for their rematch. Well it is fortunate for both of you that I made some calls, I talked to some people, this Saturday on Collision, it’s gonna be The Bang Bang Gang VS The House of Black for the right to officially become the #1 contenders for the Trios Championships.
“But being the nice guy that I am, I decided to up the stakes for you boys, make it a little more enticing. The winner of that match will face The Patriarchy at the biggest show of the year, at All In in Wembley Stadium. Oh, and since you guys seem to bicker and fight between yourselves about who should be champions like children do, maybe some order needs to be kept, some discipline needs to be in order in the form… of a father. That’s while I’ll be the special referee for said match. See you at Collision.” Captain Charisma is certainly not going to be fair to either of those trios, so who will he screw over the least?
2v1 Handicap Match: Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Clara Carter & Jazmyne Hao!
The Brickhouse is The CEO’s newest investment, and essentially her insurance policy. Will Kamille prove she’s worth every penny? Or can the Queen City Killer and The Dragon of Malice tear her down together?
The bell rings and while the fans chant for the “C E O! C E O!” Kamile puts her shoulder pads aside. She stares both opponents down, then just BOOTS Hao down! Carter wants out but Kamille drags her back in! And ROCKS her! And UPPERCUTS her! And then CLUBS her down! Carter sputters, Kamille frowns and drags her up. Kamille stomps away in the corner, but Hao jumps on for a SLEEPER! Kamille isn’t even bothered, she just stomps Carter more! Then she FLINGS Hao onto Carter! Kamille runs up, Carter dodges, and now Carter & Hao stomp together! They double whip, but Kamille comes back to LARIAT Hao!
Carter turns around, into a BOOT! Kamile drags Hao up, torture rack and THRASH, before the TOWER HACKER BOMB! Kamille drags Hao up and reels her in, to Canadian Rack and DOMINATE-HER!! Cover, Kamille wins!
Winner: Kamille, by pinfall
Mone steps in, never any doubt in her mind. And Kamille raises Mone’s hand in victory? Mone tells the fans to say hello to The Brickhouse. Kamille TOSSES Carter, TOSSES Hao, and then Mone tells the fans to say hello to your CEO. The fans are a bit torn, but Mone says don’t even waste your breath on chanting for the DMD, because Britt Baker is not even here tonight. Shoutout to the EVPs for that suspension so we don’t have to deal with Britt until All In. How sweet is that? Kamille says very sweet.
Mone “hates” to be the one breaking it to us, but Britt is not here! And poor lil’ DMD. Let’s talk about her! The first ever woman signed to AEW! How impressive! But while they always say Britt was the first, they never says she’s the best! But these titles on Mone let you know that SHE is the best! Tony Schiavone speaks up, and says he has some breaking news from Christopher Daniels. Tony Khan has overruled The Elite’s ban on Britt! And we also have Britt via satellite.
Britt tells Mercedes that she can run, get a bodyguard, and even get Britt suspended, but she can’t stop Britt. The match is on at All In, just like how Britt’s been all in on AEW since day one. And when Britt commits, she sees it through to the end. Unlike Mone. We all know the second things don’t go Mone’s way, she takes her ball and goes home. Mone is not the future. AEW is just the flavor of the month for Mone. But for Britt, AEW is home. So go ahead, Mone, walk your walk, talk your talk, and count your money. But this all ends at All In when Britt becomes the Face of TBS, and the first woman in AEW to have beat Mercedes Mone.
And now, Britt has seven days to think on how she can get her hands on Mone next week. And if you doubt that Britt won’t find a way, don’t. Trust Britt, she’s a doctor. Yours Truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. The fans cheer, Mone is upset, but she does have Kamille. Will that insurance policy come in very handy next Wednesday?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite next week!
After winning the Triple Threat on Collision, Claudio Castagnoli is the #1 contender to the Continental Championship. The Swiss Superman is ready to challenge The Rainmaker, but they will have a face-to-face next Wednesday night. What will Kazuchika Okada have to say about his next challenger?
Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat is here!
The living legend and WWE Hall of Famer is here to be a special guest commentator for what will surely be a powerful main event.
Anything Goes: Bryan Danielson VS Jeff Jarrett!
The American Dragon didn’t appreciate Double J’s words of encouragement, because they came off as if Jarrett didn’t think Bryan was really ready for his Wembley moment. Bryan raised the stakes on himself by making it Title VS Career, and now he wants to show Jarrett just how ready he is! So Jarrett raised the stakes even further, and he made this match have no disqualifications, no count outs, and no time limit! Now, with no telling what either man will do to win, who comes out of this stronger than iron to take on Swerve Strickland?
WAIT! Jarrett storms up on Bryan from behind to SMASH HIT him with the guitar!! The Last Outlaw tells Bryan he has to be ready for anything! Karen Jarrett & Jay Lethal run out here and even they wonder what the hell Jeff’s doing! Jarrett stomps Bryan, SMACKS him with what’s left of his guitar, then tells Karen and Lethal to get outta here. Jarrett stomps Bryan down the ramp, drags him up, and throws him into the ring. Ricky says Jarrett’s always taken the low road, but maybe this is the only way to truly get Bryan ready. The bell rings, and Jarrett LARIATS Bryan up and outta the ring!
The fans rally but Jarrett storms out. Jarrett grabs a chair, and he SMACKS Bryan on the back! Jarrett drags Bryan up, whips him over railing, and then storms out after him! Jarrett fires hands, the ref follows them as they go to the bleachers, and Jarrett fires more hands! Jarrett keeps Bryan moving further up, then throws more hands! The fans fire up as Bryan fights back! Bryan ROCKS Jarrett now, and they continue going up! Jarrett kicks back, SMACKS Bryan off the hand rail, then ROCKS him again! And SMACKS him off the rail! Bryan fires hands in return! Jarrett pokes Bryan in the eye! Then throws hands!
The ref reprimands, only in that a pin or submission has to happen in the ring. Jarrett says that doesn’t matter, and they continue up into the pavilion! Jarrett SMACKS Bryan off a wall, and then Jarrett finds a trash barrel! Jarrett CHUCKS the barrel at Bryan! Jarrett makes quite the mess, but then he JAMS Bryan with the metal frame the trash barrel was in! Bryan SMACKS Jarrett in return with a bottle! And again! And again! The fans back here are all fired up as Bryan MSACKS Jarrett more and more! Bryan KICKS, KICKS and KICKS! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan winds up, to SMACK Jarrett with the tall boy can!
But Jarrett LOW BLOWS! The fans are torn but Jarrett drags Bryan up to scoop, and DROP on the can! The fans lose their minds as Jarrett storms around. Jarrett drags Bryan up, lines up the shot, and suplexes Bryan on the can!! Those Wake Forest cans are tough, there’s almost no give! Jarrett throws more hands on Bryan, and the fans help keep Bryan standing! Jarrett ROCKS Bryan again and again, then reels him in. But Bryan blocks the suplex, turns it around, and he suplexes Jarrett onto the can! The can finally gives way and Jarrett clutches his lower back! The fans are thunderous for Bryan as he keeps on Jarrett!
Bryan fires hands, and we even get a close-up of Bryan hooking Jarrett’s face, while Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Bryan and Jarrett move back to the entrance and start making their way down the bleachers. Bryan fires hands as they go, then KICKS, and KICKS, and KICKS! Fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” but then Jarrett ROCKS Bryan! Jarrett throws hands, then UPPERCUTS Bryan! Bryan SMACKS Jarrett with a fan’s popcorn! Jarrett still throws hands, they make it back to ground level, and Jarrett CLAWS Bryan’s face! Jarrett grabs a recycle bin to SMACK Bryan with it! Jarrett whips, Bryan reverses, and Jarrett tumbles up and over the railing! Bryan snarls, storms his way over, but Jarrett JAMS him up with a chair!
Jarrett JAMS Bryan again and again, then goes back to the ring. Bryan sputters, Jarrett wedges the chair into a corner, and then Jarrett goes back for Bryan. Bryan stands, Jarrett moves the steel steps around, then ROCKS Bryan! Jarrett climbs up on the railing so he can rain down fists! The fans count along, and Jarrett hits TEN! Jarrett leaves Bryan behind, the fans cheer Bryan on, but Jarrett grabs another chair. Jarrett brings that into the ring at the same time Bryan slides in, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Jarrett JAMS Bryan’s legs with the chair, then SMACKS him right on the knee! And then SMACKS him again!
The fans are torn but mostly booing as Jarrett storms around. Swerve & Nana are watching backstage as Jarrett stomps Bryan in a corner. Jarrett stands Bryan up, climbs up, and says Bryan needs to be ready. Jarrett rains down fists, and fans count to nine, for Jarrett to wind up, to fire off five more fast hands! That’s 14 right there, and then Jarrett runs Bryan corner to corner to SMACK him off buckles! Jarrett whips, Bryan goes up and over and keeps moving! Bryan ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up and Jarrett flounders to a corner. Bryan snarls, runs corner to corner, and he DROPKICKS!
Bryan climbs up now, and he rains down fists! The fans count and Bryan goes to TEN, then he BITES Jarrett! That’s something he got from Moxley. Bryan whips, but Jarrett KICKS back!

Jarrett puts Bryan in, puts the legs on ropes, and then HIP DROPS! Fans want tables but Jarrett has a chair. Jarrett JAMS Bryan’s leg, then he puts the chair around it! The fans boo but Jarrett goes up a corner. Jarrett is going a bit further than getting Bryan ready here…! But Bryan stands to SMACK Jarrett with that chair! Bryan climbs up after Jarrett, reels him in, and SPIDER SUPERPLEX! Bryan sits up and the fans fire up! Bryan huffs ‘n’ puffs and fires up more, “YES! YES! YES!”
Bryan adjusts up top, then leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK! Down goes Jarrett, and Bryan snarls. “This is Awesome!” and Bryan hobbles over to Jarrett. Bryan KICKS again and again, but that bothers his plant leg. Bryan aims, but Jarrett ducks the buzzsaw! Jarrett trips Bryan, steps through, FIGURE FOUR! Bryan endures, the fans “WOO~!” and Jarrett pushes on the leg! Bryan drags himself over to the chair! Bryan SMACKS Jarrett’s legs now!! And SMACKS them again! And again!!

NO, Bryan sends Jarrett into his corner chair trap! Then Bryan has the other chair, runs up, FULL METAL BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, Bryan wins!!
Winner; Bryan Danielson, by pinfall
Ricky says what goes around comes around. Jarrett made this hardcore, but he’s the one who takes the loss. Karen, Lethal & Sonjay hurry out here to check on Jarrett while Wheeler Yuta is here to back up Bryan. Even Ricky joins Bryan in the ring, commending him on this match. Jarrett’s even got blood from somewhere under the chin. Ricky helps Jarrett up, showing his fellow legend respect. Bryan and Yuta give it up for Jarrett, and Ricky raises both guys’ hands in victory. Bryan and Jarrett shake hands and hug it out. But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Nana leads the way for The Realest, and even does the dance.
Swerve has a mic to tell, “Well would you look at this. Did y’all see this? Y’all saw that, right?” Three great legends on TBS programming, right in front of our eyes. There was Jeff Jarrett, there was Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, and now… Swerve Strickland. All men that have defined professional wrestling on this network. Swerve hops up into the ring with Bryan and says the difference between them all and Bryan is, they’ve all be world champions on TBS and he hasn’t. The only thing between Bryan and the title is ol’ Swerve himself. Swerve says Bryan is one of the Greatest of All Time. That’s why it’ll be great for Swerve when he retires Bryan at All In, and Bryan’s legacy becomes Swerve’s.
And Swerve will NOT hesitate to take the kill shot, he promises Bryan that. Heck of a match out here, how’s Bryan feeling? Legs are wobbly, back is giving out, losing feeling in the fingers. If that’s what Jarrett did to Bryan, just imagine what Swerve will do. A great test for Bryan none the less. But hey, how about Swerve gets tested, too? Swerve wants a little “warm up” before Wembley. He needs to spar. How about this? Norfolk, Virginia, Dynamite, the AEW World Champion goes 1v1 with… Wheeler Yuta. The Decoder says he ain’t some damn warm-up. But if Swerve wants it, then he can get it.
Swerve says this week, he was sitting in the back, watching Bryan VS Jarrett. But next week, Swerve wants Bryan to have a front row seat to see why Swerve is the most dangerous man in AEW. “Whose house?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Not wanting to be outdone, will he break Yuta just as an example of what’s coming for Bryan? Or is this a trap game for the champ?
My Thoughts:
Another great Dynamite here, even with the apparent changes because of the tropical storm blowing through the Carolinas. The only change they acknowledged was Cassidy needing FTR to team with him over whatever combination from The Conglomeration they were going to use, and really it worked out for the better. FTR being hometown guys, the fans were all fired up. And then after Cassidy & FTR win, Acclaimed storming out there to start beef was also good. Now, there are some weird parallels going on in the Tag Division and Trios Division, in that Christian Cage came up with the contender’s match idea I feel we’re getting with Acclaimed and FTR. Bang Bang Gang VS House of Black, Christian as special ref, that’s going to make for a real good match.
Also good promos from Jack Perry and Darby Allin, though I glossed over how TBS accidentally cued up a Taco Bell commercial too early. But really, all I got from Jack Perry’s promo is a reminder that Scorpio Sky was a TNT Champion, yet his newest comeback ended before it even began. A real shame Scorpio Sky’s “I am your inspiration” persona didn’t get more than promos and I think one ROH match. Anyway, good match from Mariah VS Viva Van, went longer than I thought it would, but that is good for Viva Van. And maybe it was to fill time for things that couldn’t happen because people got stuck at airports or whatever. But Storm of course went after Mariah again, a good follow-up from Collision.
Kamille doing a Handicap squash match was fine, we knew she was winning no matter how many people were in there. And good promos from Mone and Britt to get at each other, but I don’t think this really sways who wins at All In at all. I have a feeling next week could really determine a lot of it, though, as Britt tries to go after Mone, only for Kamille to clobber her. That then gives Britt the go-home math so that she’ll win at All In, letting Mone be free to go show up for NJPW Strong, aka NJPW US events. Though ironically, that’d make Britt right about Mone rage quitting places and not really caring about AEW.
Awesome opening match from MJF VS Fletcher, and of course MJF had to cheat to win. But I did like Kyle refusing to resort to the Callis screwdriver, following in Ospreay’s footsteps. And I almost wonder if there’s a plot twist. What if MJF isn’t the one slashing tires and blocking doors? What if it is Callis screwing with Ospreay over Ospreay no longer wanting to be Callis Family member? That would be pretty good stuff to circle us back to the idea of Ospreay & Fletcher VS Don Callis Family, even if Rush is the only active member right now. Though, Callis probably could recruit others, like Mortos, or some other Heel that isn’t doing anything and could use this to get up to the next level.
Great match out of Shibata VS Keith, with Jericho being good on commentary. Shibata of course wins, and he of course gets jumped by Jericho & Bill, but luckily Hook was here to make the save. If Samoa Joe makes his return next week, I could see a Six Man Tag being set up. If not, then just default us to Hook VS Jericho for the FTW Championship one last time. And even then, you can throw everyone else out there, including Joe, so as to make sure Jericho loses and Hook wins.
Good promo from Hangman to have him call out Swerve without saying his name, because that is how much Hangman hates Swerve, and that was a good way to jump into Swerve’s interview promo with JR. Feels a little redundant now after Swerve also went out there to talk to Bryan, but it’s not that big of a deal. Bryan VS Jarrett was an awesome match, especially with Jarrett striking first. I do appreciate when they go up into the pavilion and use the trash cans. Great finish with the knee and chair combo, but of course Bryan won. Swerve VS Yuta next week will also be really good, and of course Swerve will win that. They’ll keep us guessing on the Title VS Career match, but I still feel like with Darby waiting at Grand Slam, it should be Swerve.
Which brings me to the news that we’re getting another #1 contender’s match! Sure, Casino Gauntlets are lots of fun, but why have it at All In? Isn’t that card already fat enough? The only saving grace would be if the winner of that gauntlet decides to Money in the Bank this and cash in during Bryan VS Swerve. If it’s a Heel, they’ll get massive heat for “ruining” that match. They can cost Bryan not just the title but his in-ring career, or they can be the reason Swerve loses. Hmm, actually, that might be the only reason they’re doing it. Hangman Page of all people could come out the winner, he cashes in, and does his damndest to screw Swerve.
My Score: 9/10

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

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

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

Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend.

Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up!

Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free!

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

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

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

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

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

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