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!
The fans are thunderous as Dax and Rush crawl. But Rush anchors Dax’s leg, and Roddy runs up on Cash! APRON BACK SUPLEX!! Cash flops down, Mortos runs up on Cassidy! Cassidy POSTS Mortos first! Dax ROCKS Rush, hot tag to Cassidy! Cassidy goes up to CROSSBODY! Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS Rush out! Roddy’s back but Cash tilt-o-whirl DDTS! Mortos returns but Cassidy dodges him to then DIVE onto Roddy! Cassidy again ducks ‘n’ dodges Mortos, DEJA VU times two for a DDT!! The fans are thunderous as Cassidy stands tall!

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 runs in, Bryan TOSSES him out! Bryan then builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit and down goes Double J! Bryan drags Jarrett up again, and sends him into railing! Jarrett takes a seat, Bryan KICKS him again and again! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan gets space, runs back in, and he DROPKICKS Jarrett against railing! The fans fire up again as Bryan drags Jarrett up and around. Bryan KICKS Jarrett again and again, “YES! YES! YES!”
Bryan RAMS Jarrett into steel steps! Bryan goes to the apron, takes aim, and he FLYING- CHAIR!! Jarrett uses the chair to take Bryan right out of the air! 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!! Jarrett lets go for the sake of his own knees, and Bryan stands to wrangle him by an arm! But Jarrett fights free, FULL METAL STROKE!! Cover, TWO!!
Bryan survives being slammed on the chair, but Jarrett steps through on the legs, for a SHARPSHOOTER! The fans boo but Jarrett is shouting out Owen with this one! The fans rally, Bryan fights around, and he rolls over to grab an arm! Omoplata, for the LEBELL LOCK!! Jarrett endures, pries at the grip, and he’s free of the crossface! Jarrett ROCKS Bryan but Bryan KICKS back! They both sit up to fire more shots! The fans rally behind Bryan, and both men stand to throw harder haymakers! Faster haymakers! It is a scrap! Then Jarrett kicks, Bryan blocks, but Jarrett ENZIGIRIS! Jarrett says this is it! Wrench and-
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

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Cole is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Panama City Playboy, and he brings his AEW TNT Championship to the ring. The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Now, the reason he has a giant smile is because this is the 100th episode of Collision! The strides that Collision has made in such a short time is impressive. Cole wants to thank the fans. AEW has the best wrestlers on the planet delivering some of the best matches we’ve ever seen, and dammit, these are the best fans he has ever been in front of!
“AEW is built on the future, and I’m excited about the future. Because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere. I am proud of where Collision has been, and I’m proud of where it is going. I am proud to represent TNT as your TNT Champion. I am proud about our future. In 2025 and beyond, I will hold onto this championship, because dammit, I’m Adam Cole, Baybay. And that is undisputed.” The fans cheer, but here comes Kyle Fletcher! The fans are torn as the Protostar has a mic to say, “Pardon the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody, and especially you, on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision, that’s huge!
“And you’ve had a fantastic run as the Face of TNT. But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to ME.” The fans are torn on that, too, but Kyle says Cole loves to do story time. How about story time with the Protostar? Now, does Cole remember All In 2023? Of course he does! He main-evented the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, he faced a young ‘n’ hungry Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. And while that was the greatest night of Cole’s life, that was the WORST night of Kyle’s!
Cole took away the biggest accomplishment of Kyle’s life, purely to stroke his own ego. But now, Kyle stands here a totally different man. Kyle KILLED that version of Kyle to stand here the most perfect pro-wrestler in the world! Again, the fans are torn, but Kyle says he wants nothing more than to make Cole feel exactly how he did two years ago. So at All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, Kyle wants his shot at HIS TNT Champions! The fans like where this is going! Kyle says everyone int he world knows no one is more deserving of that shot! But wait! Daniel Garcia makes his way out here! The fans cheer as Daniel Garcia joins Kyle on stage.
Garcia asks, “What’s good, Ontario?” And he hears all this talk about the past of Collision, the future of Collision, the future of AEW, the TNT title, but when you talk about those things, you better bring up one name: Daniel Garcia. Now, Fletcher, their match is the main event. Garcia isn’t looking past Kyle, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little distracted. Because when Garcia looks in the ring, he sees the man who beat him for the TNT Championship and that belt over his shoulder. Garcia can only think one thing to himself: “I need that.” Cole says he has all the respect for Garcia, and any time, any place that Garcia wants his shot, he’s got it.
But do not forget, Cole beat him before and he’ll beat him again. As for Kyle, the person living in Lala Land is just lying to himself. Last time, Cole had Kyle beat, and the Don Callis Family had to get involved because they knew it, and Kyle knows it. Cole had his number then and has his number now. So here’s a great idea: Let’s just go All In! Kyle wants his shot at the TNT title, Garcia wants his shot at the TNT title, and Cole is a fighting champion. At All In, he’ll face them both! Kyle says no no no, that’s not gonna happen. Kyle was screwed out of the title once, he won’t do it again. Kyle beat Garcia when he was TNT Champion, and he never got his shot!
Kyle says in a perfect and just world, HE would be here as TNT Champion! Garcia says oh c’mon, Kyle thinks he deserves to be a champion just cuz he beat Garcia? Congrats, who hasn’t beat Garcia? Garcia has been losing for his entire career, for his entire life, but every time he loses, he gets back up. The fans applaud that! Garcia says every time he fails, he gets back up! So Cole, Kyle, he isn’t asking for his shot because he “deserves” one, he wants to earn it. So here’s another idea: Garcia and Kyle are already in a big main event match, but let’s put it all on the line! Garcia VS Kyle, winner goes on to have the biggest match of their lives against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship!
The fans cheer, Kyle is annoyed, but Cole says if that’s how they wanna play it, that’s how they’ll do it. May the best man win. Garcia raised the stakes of tonight’s main event, but will he be ready to go All In? Or will the Aussie Arrow be the one flying to Texas?
Toni Storm speaks.
“This is a message for that the little girl watching from home. The one who begged her parents to buy All In so that she could sit in front of the television to watch the greatest women’s match of all time. It won’t be. It will be a lesson, and the lesson is this: Someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, and when they can’t hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love, you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off. Some things in life are not worth fighting for. But if you’re lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist.
“What you’re about to witness will change you in foul ways. Probably our mother, too. It won’t be nice, it won’t be pretty, but you will remember it forever. Hopefully, it will discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself, because there are only two kinds of people in this world: Ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Good night, darling. See you next week.”
Triple Threat: Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
Montel Vontavious Porter has practically begged for teams to step up to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and he got what he wanted! #JetSpeed wants their shot, but so does The Patriarchy! This won’t automatically make a title match, but it could go a long way to putting one together. Will The Jet be 2Fly2Stop? Will The Prodigy make Christian Cage proud?

Oh, wait, speaking of, MJF & MVP interrupt via the tron. MJF asks if MVP saw that amazing finish. This is so exciting! Hologram, go teleport your ass back to the hotel, MJF doesn’t care about you. MJF is here to talk to Mistico and Briscoe, aka Jabroni y El Jabroni. MVP likes that, that’s clever. MJF says he knows Spanish. But MVP says we don’t “talky talk,” that is for poor, uneducated chicken farmers. MVP says men like him and MJF converse. They speak the language of violence.
So let’s converse right now. MJF says Briscoe wants to talk to him one-on-one, but MJF isn’t so sure. Nowadays, he rolls with his clique. When you’re in the Syndicate, you ride together, you die together, they hurt people. But MJF will still consider it. But as for Mistico, MJF knows he’s all excited to be in the gauntlet. IS HE? Because last time MJF checked, he’s gonna beat Briscoe within an inch of his life and pin him before anybody gets a chance to make an entrance. So now, they can go back to do what poor people do. MJF doesn’t know what that is, maybe count food stamps or something. MVP, talk us out.
MVP says he appreciates all the enthusiasm, but they’re way out of their league. MVP tells Mistico, in Spanish, that he is the biggest idiot in Mexico! MJF says it ain’t personal, it’s just business. MJF & MVP head out, but will Briscoe, Mistico, and just about everyone else in the gauntlet line-up make sure MJF does not win it?
BREAKING NEWS for All In!

Ricochet leaves Lexy behind as he goes into the hall, then shows that the Gates of Agony already took out Blake Christian & Lee Johnson! If you want Ricochet’s respect, you earn it. That is a command. Oh, and, uh… AHA~!
Ricochet & The Gates leave, will the Vanilla Babyface & Big Shotty even be able to stand, let alone earn Ricochet’s respect?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite 300.
Renee Paquette found Anthony Bowens after the Men’s Casino Gauntlet #2 spot Fatal 4, and asked him how he felt after his defeat. He talked about his strategy going into the match, so- Bowens stops her there. There’s no room for negativity as the Pride of Pro-Wrestling. Billy Gunn then walks in, and he helps Bowens stand up. Bowens thanks Billy for the help now. Sorry, Billy thought the strategy was for him to not be ringside. Billy says he doesn’t know what Bowens is doing with all this. Bowens asks since when was that part of the strategy. He never said he didn’t want Billy out there. Well, that’s what Billy heard him say. He was back here watching the whole time.
Maybe Bowens doesn’t get this, but just because he’s a singles guy now doesn’t mean he’ll be world champion overnight. There will be bumps in the road, but they need to figure this out together. They can make it all work out. Bowens says Billy has been promising that for weeks but results need to happen now. All In is next week, Bowens has to win the gauntlet! He lost the chance at being #2 so now what? Trust Billy. Bowens & Billy scissor, but can Daddy Ass help the 5 Tool Player find the path to the top?

Thekla stands Rosa up but Rosa CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Rosa CHOPS Thekla into the corner, then winds up to CHOP again! Rosa whips corner to corner, Thekla reverses, and Thekla runs up to ELBOW!
Thekla keeps moving, winds up, but Rosa dodges the return! Rosa runs up, but Thekla BOOTS her! Thekla goes up, HANGING HEADSCISSORS! The ref counts, Thekla lets go and hangs from the ropes. Thekla steps inside, tags Julia, and Julia drags Rosa back to sit her up. Julia clamps on a chinlock and she thrashes Rosa around! Rosa endures, but Anna Jay stomps Julia! Thekla storms in to fire off on Anna! The ref reprimands as Julia and Thekla put Rosa and Anna on top ropes. They climb to the very top, but Anna and Rosa fight back! Collision 100 returns to single picture, Thekla gives Anna a SPIDER SUPERPLEX!
Julia has Rosa, she hits a SPIDER SUPERPLEX of her own! The fans cheer as the creepy girls both look to each other and smile. The Toxic Spider leaves the ring while Julia adjusts up top. HARTSAULT into BOOTS! Rosa and Julia are both down, the fans rally up, and the teams coach them up. Hot tags to Tay and Thekla! Tay rallies on Thekla, Thekla gets around, but Tay powers up to lift Thekla, SWINGING SIDE SLAM! The fans fire up with Tay and she goes corner to corner! BOOT! Tay goes side to side for another BOOT! Then she goes the other way, a THIRD BOOT! The fans fire up and Tay SAYANAGIS, to then KNEE Thekla down! Cover, TWO!
Thekla survives but Tay keeps on her. Tay drags Thekla up, tags Anna, and TayJay hook Thekla up! GORY BOMB KNEE COMBO! Cover, Athena breaks it! Rosa step sin and Athena runs away! But Julia SUPERKICKS Rosa! Aminata reels Julia in for a TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Megan runs up to SHOTGUN BOOT Aminata! TayJay double kick Megan, DOUBLE SUPERKICK her, then run up on Athena. Athena dodges Tay, KNEES Anna, then sends Anna into Tay, ROLLING ELBOW DDT COMBO! Aminata is up, Athena dodges to go up, up, and FLYING CODE BREAKER! “This is MY show now!” The fans fire up for the ROH Women’s World Champion, but then Rosa is here!
Athena still runs away from La Mera Mera, but Rosa slips out the side! CROSSBODY to the floor! Rosa fires hands, then she drags Athena up to send her hard into railing! Athena scrambles away but Rosa chases her! They go backstage, now it’s basically a Six Woman Tag! Megan runs, Anna dodges the lariat, and she SPIKES Megan with a DDT! Anna crawls for her corner, but Ford distracts the ref! Skye YANKS Tay off the apron, RAMS her into the apron, then THROWS her into barriers! The fans boo but Anna turns to face Megan. Megan lifts Anna for a fireman’s carry, but Anna fights free!
Anna goes to the corner, Megan runs up, but Anna dodges! Megan POSTS herself! Anna sees Skye gets up so she DECKS her! Ford runs up, but Anna sends her into buckles! Anna dribbles Ford off the buckles, but Megan runs up! LEAPING LARIAT!! Megan drags Anna up, reels her in, and hauls her up for a RUNNING POWERBOMB!! Cover, the villainesses win!
Winner: Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart, by pinfall
While the Fallen Goddess was running from her challenger, the Megasus dominated for her team. Will this be exactly what Megan does once she’s in the Casino Gauntlet? As for Athena, will the Forever Champion end up losing the title she’s held for TWO YEARS to Thunder Rosa? Or will Supercard of Honor not be her final battle?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The Dynamite before All In sees an All Star 8 Man Tag! The Death Riders once again team up with The Young Bucks to take on Hangman Page, Will Ospreay, Katsuyori Shibata & Will Hobbs! Will Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and the EVPs abuse their power and have the edge going into All In? Or can Cowboy, Assassin, Wrestler and Powerhouse bring down the house before going to Globe Life Field? But that’s not all as the odd men out, Samoa Joe and Wheeler Yuta, will go 1v1! Will the Opps or the Death Riders have the advantage going into a World Trios Championship match?
Plus, after the big match we just saw, Megan Bayne, Tay Melo, Queen Aminata and Thekla will all be in a Fatal 4 Way! The winner will be the Women’s Casino Gauntlet #2 entrant, who takes their destiny into their own hands?
Alex Windsor speaks.
“For eight long years, I wrestled on the UK independent scene, and when I was finally hitting my stride, I had my leg taken out from under me and I tore my ACL. There was a point where I didn’t think I’d ever be able to wrestle again. But there was just something that would not let me quit, because I knew the only thing that could make me feel human again, the only thing that could bring me back from the edge, was being inside a wrestling ring. And although I am All Elite now, the mission doesn’t stop until there is gold around my waist. I want to prove to my son what his mum has had to endure to become one of the best in the world.
“I am Iron Will, I am Alex Windsor!” Will Alex prove she is unbreakable when she finally gets back in that AEW ring?
AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Daniel Garcia VS Kyle Fletcher!
Adam Cole joins commentary for this one, but so has Don Callis, because this one is all about who Cole faces at All In. The Red Death held the title previously, but he admittedly did lose to the Protostar during the Continental Classic. Will Kyle correct the oversight of not getting a title match? Or will the Dragonslayer go from one redemption to another?
The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. They tie up, Kyle puts Garcia in a corner, the ref counts, and Callis praises Kyle’s physical strength. Kyle backs off with a roll, then he puts up his dukes to mock Garcia’s dance. Garcia says that’s not even close, but he and Kyle reset. They tie up, Kyle powers Garcia to another corner, but Garcia turns things around. The ref counts, Garcia lets off with a roll, and he shows Kyle how it’s done! The fans cheer, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks for the takeover, fights off a headscissor, but Garcia cravats from below. Garcia moves around, rises up, and the fans rally.
Garcia powers up and out, but Kyle runs him over! Things keep moving, Kyle runs Garcia over again! Kyle drops onto Garcia for a headlock, but Garcia fights his way up again. Garcia powers up and out, Kyle RAMS Garcia, but Garcia ducks ‘n’ dodges. Garcia CLOBBERS Kyle on the return and the fans fire up! Garcia has Kyle in the corner, climbs up, and he flips Callis off! The fans cheer and Garcia rains down fists! The fans count, but Kyle stops Garcia at 6 to BOOT him down! The fans still cheer that, and Kyle grins while Cole admits Kyle has power and speed. Kyle scoops to SLAM Garcia, and Garcia goes to the corner.
Kyle aims at the corner, runs in, but Garcia ducks! The gamangiri crashes ‘n’ burns and Kyle falls to the apron! Garcia runs to DROPKICK Kyle, then he does his dance with some extra stank! Garcia goes out after Kyle, runs up, but Kyle BOOTS him again! The fans are torn but Callis hugs it out with his guy. The fans definitely boo that, and Cole stares down with Kyle. Garcia BOOTS Kyle, Cole fist bumps with him, and Callis claims there’s a bias. But Kyle BOOTS right back! Then scoops to LAWN DART Garcia into barriers! Garcia falls in a heap and Kyle mockingly says check on him. Kyle hangs out with his fans at ringside while the others boo.
Kyle taunts the fans booing him, and we see Garcia is busted open! Kyle rains down fists, then shows off the bloody forehead. APRON BACK SUPLEX! Kyle grins while Garcia has a glazed look in his eyes, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle shoves Garcia into the ring, paces around him, and watches as Garcia sputters and sits up. The crimson mask is growing and Kyle talks trash. Kyle drags Garcia up to scoop and SLAM! Garcia flounders to ropes while Kyle soaks up cheers ‘n’ jeers. Kyle paces, then he storms over to Garcia for a JUMP STOMP! The ref reprimands but Garcia flounders away to the other side. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Garcia again! Kyle drags Garcia from the ropes, paces around him again, then stands him up. Garcia fires a flurry of forearms! Garcia backs Kyle down, but Kyle DECKS Garcia! Garcia shows off the blood on his wrist tape while he paces around.
Kyle stands on the corner, and he licks the blood! The fans surely tell Kyle he’s sick, but Collision goes to break.
Collision 100 returns once again and Garcia rains down fists in the corner! He goes to nine, then winds up for TEN! The fans fire up while Kyle flounders. Garcia runs up, Kyle puts him on the apron and GAMANGIRIS! Garcia wobbles, but he reels Kyle in for a GUILLOTINE in the ropes! Callis protests, the ref counts, but Kyle goes to the apron! Kyle powers up but Garcia fights free! Garcia ducks a lariat to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Cole and Callis are both worried while the fans all fire up! Garcia stumbles back, Kyle goes the other direction, Garcia runs up and DROPKICKS Kyle into barriers!
The fans fire up as Garcia goes to the other side, runs back in, DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Garcia keeps moving, DROPKICK! Cole says Garcia is cooking here! Garcia puts Kyle on the apron, then slides into the ring. Garcia climbs up the corner, drags Kyle up to the top rope, and the fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Roll through, cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Callis is relieved. A standing count begins, Kyle and Garcia stir, and Garcia grabs the legs. Kyle BOOTS Garcia away, Garcia rebounds, but into Kyle’s cradle! Then deadlift, but Garcia slips free! Garcia waistlocks, they go to ropes, Kyle bucks the O’Conner! SUPERKICK!
Kyle reels Garcia in, lifts, LAST RIDE!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle is furious but then he rains down elbows! The ref wants Garcia to get his guard up but Kyle lets off. Garcia sputters, is his nose broken now? The fans rally, Callis mockingly says they should call this. Kyle aims from the far corner, runs in, but Garcia catches him for a leg scissor! Then he has the legs! DRAGONTAMER!! The fans are thunderous as Kyle endures! Garcia sits deep on the hold, but Kyle powers up! Garcia drags Kyle away for the DEEPER hold! Kyle reaches back to headlock Garcia, but Garcia lets the legs go so he can roll back! Garcia facelocks, deadlifts, and then suplexes Kyle and himself out of the ring!!
The fans fire up while both men hit the floor! Callis and Cole are both worried again, but both men are still stirring. The ring count climbs, the fans rally, and Callis tells Garcia to stay down. Callis fans Kyle off, pats him on the shoulder, but we pass 5 of 10. Garcia is up first and he has Kyle, only for Kyle to get around! HALF ‘N’ HALF to the floor! Kyle grimaces as he drags himself up to his feet. Garcia sputters, twitches, but Kyle drags him up. Callis says get the ambulance. Kyle grins as he looks at Cole, and he reels Garcia in for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Garcia is down in a heap and Cole stands up in anger.
The fans are torn as Kyle leaves Garcia behind. The count starts again, Cole coaches Garcia, but can Garcia even hear him right now? The count is 5 of 10, and Garcia grabs the apron skirt! Garcia rises, but we’re at 8! Garcia leaps in at 9.99! But the GAMANGIRI hits in the corner!! And then Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Championship)
Daniel Garcia fought his heart out, but his body could not withstand the viciousness of Kyle Fletcher. And now, the Aussie Arrow is aimed squarely at Adam Cole. Will the Protostar make himself the Face of TNT? Or will this title stay undisputed?
My Thoughts:
A great 100th episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded on Wednesday. FTR VS Outrunners was an awesome match, and naturally FTR was winning, but it was a nice touch for Stokely to be involved right at the end so that The Outrunners’ power level isn’t hurt by the loss. The tag title story is a bit disconnected, though, as apparently Nick Wayne “interrupted” a Hurt Syndicate interview. It was a YouTube exclusive, not part of Dynamite, so Nick Wayne jumping into what they framed as Shelton VS Knight was weird. And even then, Knight won the Triple Threat by pinning Shelton, shouldn’t it just be JetSpeed VS Lashley & Shelton? And I’m pretty sure the only reason for the Triple Threat is so that Hurt Syndicate can lose the belts without taking the finish.
Great Six Man Tag from Briscoe, Hologram & Mistico VS Don Callis Family, and great win for the Faces. Good promo from MJF and MVP, but not really needed. They just wanted to step on Briscoe’s celebration before having the “talky talk” moment next week. Awesome return for Scorpio Sky after roughly 600 days of being away, and he of course got a win over Max Caster. The main thing from this is that Sky is also now leading a new faction with Christopher Daniels. Hopefully Top Flight gets some direction with this, they’ve been in a holding pattern for so long. And that’s not even the injuries, they’ve both been back for a good amount of time and they’ve only been contenders to the tag titles, not winners.
Very good promo from Claudio to call out The Opps, and I’m starting to really feel like Hook joins Death Riders as payback on Samoa Joe for replacing him so easily. Willow got a good win but it was mostly so we could have that moment of Kris and Yuta where Kris is still resistant to the idea of joining Death Riders. Great 8 Woman Tag, and Athena being scared of getting in the ring with Rosa was some good stuff. Another strong win for the Heels, and I feel like Megan is going to have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet. But with Alex Windsor having another good promo, I feel like she could be a favorite to win. Then Alex faces the winner of Toni VS Mone at Forbidden Door. Good promo from Toni Storm, but it didn’t really add that much to the build.
And finally, something for the TNT Championship. Great promo to open the night, and it naturally raised the stakes on the main event. Garcia VS Fletcher was awesome, and that moment near the end with them both down on the outside really teased a double count out to make a Triple Threat for All In. But in the end, Kyle overwhelms Garcia and is the standalone #1 contender. Cole VS Fletcher is going to be awesome, and probably could go either way. But if the Don Callis Family is going to be as big as it is, it also needs to win some gold. There’s potential for them to really clean up next weekend with Konosuke Takeshita going for the ROH World Championship, Okada VS Omega for the “unified” championship, and now Fletcher going for the TNT title.
My Score: 9/10

Hangman Page is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Cowboy as he storms right out to the ring. Hangman grabs a mic, and he says he is not going to waste our time because he has said plenty how much the AEW World Championship match means to him. He has said plenty on how much AEW and that title mean to him, and he has said he would ride through death itself for this! The fans cheer, and hangman says he made a promise that at All In, he would win THE AEW World Championship! That he would free it from the briefcase, hold it over his head for the world to see, and it is a vow he will keep with his life!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman continues with, “You can tie me up and you can bloody me, but it will not be enough. And like last week, you can wrap a chain around my neck and hang me from the sky! But you would have to kill me before I let this chance pass me by!” If you think he’ll let The Elite or the Death Riders cost them, then you’re the biggest dumbass in the world! Because at All In, like all of Jon Moxley’s matches, Hangman knows they are coming, so he will welcome them. “Give me The Elite! Give me ALL of the Death Riders! Jon Moxley, you give me everything or you give me death, and make this a TEXAS DEATH MATCH!!”
Well, as if on cue, Jon Moxley makes his way out from the bowels of the arena, Marina Shafir right behind him. The fans boo as these two make their way to ringside, and Hangman keeps his eyes locked on The Maniac. Moxley steps up to the apron, mic in hand, and he says, “So… At All In, you wanna put all your chips on the table? Your life, your health, your career, all on the line, all on the table, with the AEW World Championship, in a Texas Death Match.” The fans cheer that! But Moxley says, “No.” The fans boo, but Moxley says Hangman doesn’t want that. He might think he wants that, but he doesn’t.
To break it down, on July 12th, Hangman is going to lose. The fans chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at Moxley but he ignores it. At All In, Hangman is not going to win, because he doesn’t want to win. No, Hangman is happy where he is because it is safe and comfortable. Hangman doesn’t wanna wake up on Sunday morning with the AEW World Championship and everything that comes with it. Does Hangman know why he won the Owen Hart Cup? Because it wasn’t the highest peak. It wasn’t really the top of the mountain. It was nice, but THE top, no, that’s not for Hangman, that’s too much pressure, that’s for someone else.
Fans tell Moxley to STFU, but Moxley says he lives in pressure. Moxley knows there are those who say they’re the best in the world, and that’s “basic b*tch sh*t,” Moxley is much more than that. Moxley is much more than the AEW World Champion, and he’ll show the entire world that on July 12th. HE will show the world exactly who he is, and exactly what a world champion looks like. Hangman doesn’t have inside him what it takes to take this title from Moxley, and he certainly doesn’t have what it takes to win a Texas Death Match with Moxley. Hangman is not willing to go as far as he needs to go, it is not something he would survive, it is not something he’d walk away from.
Hangman SLAPS Moxley! Moxley is pissed and he TACKLES Hangman! The fans fire up as the two scrap, and Hangman gets the edge! AND he takes something out of his pocket! Is that a fork!? Wheeler Yuta appears outta nowhere, but then Hangman JAMS him with the fork! Marina SLAPS Hangman! The fans tell Hangman to fork her, but then she SLAPS him again! Hangman seethes, she SLAPS him again! And again and again and again! Hangman just stares her down! Hangman steps forward, but then Yuta anchors Hangman! Claudio Castagnoli TACKLES Hangman! The fans boo as the Death Riders mug Hangman!
Yuta & Claudio stomp away on Hangman, CHOKE him in the corner, then smother him with his own jacket! Moxley is in retreat and Marina checks on him. Claudio drags Hangman up and RIPS away his shirt! Gotch lift, NEUTRALIZER! The fans boo as Moxley needed the Decoder and the Swiss Cyborg to handle Hangman for him. Will this be exactly what happens in ten days at All In: Texas? Hangman grabs the mic to shout, “HOLD ON! HOLD ON! Is that the best you’ve got?! IS THAT THE BEST YOU’VE GOT?! Send your little neutered lap dog, Claudio, after me, cuz B*TCH, I’m still standing!”
The fans fire up and Claudio says okay, still standing, huh? Claudio grabs an open chair, takes it with him to ringside, but SAMOA JOE is here! Claudio says bet! Claudio gets up on the railing, Yuta is even backing him, but then Claudio spots Shibata and Hobbs walking up from the other side! The Opps continue to have Hangman’s back, but speaking of back, MARINA sneaks in behind Hangman! But she blocks the briefcase attack! The fans fire up and Hangman shouts, “Mox, have I got something of yours? HUH?! Be the champion you say you are! Be the champion you say you are and give me Texas Death! GIVE ME TEXAS DEATH!!”
Moxley is furious that the sneak attack failed so he storms back up to ringside. Moxley says fine, if Hangman wants it, he’s got it! ALL IN: TEXAS DEATH!! The fans are all fired up and Hangman grins. Hangman then walks up to Marina and hands her the briefcase. The fans cheer for #CowboyS*it, but then Hangman remembers one thing! Mox, you said that Hangman didn’t have what it takes for Texas Death, but Mox knows that’s a lie. But in case Mox needs to see that Hangman will do anything it takes… What?! BUCKSHOT ON MARINA!! No one can believe it, and Moxley is even angrier than before! But will Hangman do a lot worse once the bell rings?
Toni Storm is with Rachel Brosnahan.
The AEW Women’s World Champion is with the new Lois Lane in the new Superman film, and Rachel says she used to wrestle in high school. Toni asks what they used to call Rachel, and she says, “Just Rachel.” Oh, well, they should fix that. Rachel Reckoning! Rachel the Relentless! No, wait! Rachel the Ravishing Raven! Wait, wait! Rachel the Metropolis Maven! Rachel says she’ll take ’em. Put those on a shirt. Why yes, darling! See Superman in theaters starting July 11th!
Toni Storm heads to the ring!
And now, the AEW Women’s World Champion is accompanied by her butler, Luther, on the way out so that she may join commentary once again.
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Mina Shirakawa!
The CEO is currently #FiveBeltsMone, but she is so confident she’ll stay that way that she’s served Toni Storm a steak dinner to watch as she serves the Fighting Gravure Idol an L! But will Mone stay the Face of TBS? Or will we all be watching #MinaNow?
The introductions are made, the teal title is raised, and we see if the Money Train loses some of its cargo!
Mone lounges on a corner while the bell rings, and Mina runs up to HAMMER Mone down! The fans fire up as Mina fires off but Mone uses the ropes as a defense! The ref backs Mina off, Mone bails out, but Mina gives chase! They go around the outside, back into the ring, and Mone stomps away! The fans boo but Mone stops as the ref reprimands. Mone shows off the pics of Toni on the soles of her boots, then rips them off to throw them at Mina. Toni is rather anxious and worried right now, but Mina manages to KNEE Mone in return! Mina then slips under, but Mone sits on the sunset! The ref says she’s in the ropes!
Mone lets go, Mina sunsets, ONE! The fans duel as Mina SOBATS, runs, but Mone dodges and rolls Mina down into a crossface! Mina pops free, has Mone’s legs, but Mone kicks free. Things speed up, but Mina turns hurdle into FLAPJACK! Mina does her shimmy, says that belt is hers, but then has to go Matrix to dodge a haymaker! Victory roll, TWO! Mone blocks a punch to THROW Mina down by her hair! The ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Mone drags Mina up. Toni is in no mood to eat as Mone says this is ognna be her soon! Mone whips, but Mina reverses to THESZ PRESS! Mina rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!
The ref counts, Mina is throwing those closed fists. Mina stops, but she fires up to THROW Mone! The fans fire up and Mina storms up on Mone again. Mina TOSSES Mone the other way! The fans fire up as Mina shakes it up! Mina then stalks Mone, but Mone ELBOWS her away. Mone hits DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Mone is up and METEORA! Mone throws down fists instead of going for the pin! The fans boo and Mone TOSSES Mina! Mone mocks Toni’s flailing about but Toni is not amused as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The other screen doesn’t really show up right away… Did they mean to go to break? Well, we return to single picture eventually, and Mina has Mone down. Toni is still worried as Mone claims her leg is hurting. Mina SPLASHES, covers, TWO! Mina drags Mone to center to SPLASH the leg! Mina wants the Figure Four but Mone drags her into the STATEMENT MAKER! Mina endures, the fans rally up, and Mina fights forward. Mone kicks off the ropes, but Mina rolls free! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” but Mone CLUBS at Mina’s leg! Mina SLAPS Mone, pushes on the hold, but Mone SLAPS back!
Mone rolls, rolls, and they end up on the apron, then fall to the floor! The leglock is undone and Toni is even more concerned. It’s almost like she’s watching a horror movie. The fans rally for Mina as she and Mone are still in this. Mina brings Mone up, sends her at the ring but Mone reverses. Mina tiger feint kicks from the apron! Then she FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up and Mina hurries to TORNADO DDT to the floor! The fans fire up even more and Mina puts Mone in the ring. Mone tiger feint kicks in return! Mone then METEORAS to the floor! Double-edged as Mone clutches her leg, but Toni has gone back to being stoic.
Mina and Mone stir while the ref starts the ring count. The count is 8, Mone rolls in, but Mina is in at 9! Mina and Mone have wild looks in their eyes, and they both grab each other by the hair! They stand up, Mone talks trash, and she fires a forearm! Mina laughs that off, then puts some stank on her FOREARM SHOT! Mina eggs Mone on, and the forearms fly! The fans boo Mone, cheer Mina, and repeat! The shots go faster and faster, Mone gets the edge, but Mina whips her away. Mina runs in, but Mone BOOTS her! Mone goes up, FLYING SUNSET FLIPS, but Mina rolls through! BASEMENT METEORA! Mone storms around but the fans boo.
Mone runs corner to corner, SUNSET BUCKLE BOMB! Shoutout to her Role Model, and then a METEORA in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Mina survives and Mone grows frustrated, and Toni seems concerned again. The fans duel more as Mone climbs up. METEORA AGAIN! NO, Mina rolls through, SMASHES the knee on the mat again and again, then hits a DRAGON SCREW! Mina has the legs, FIGURE FOUR!! Mone endures, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! A fingertip saves Mone, but Mina lets go to go up the corner! The fans rally again, but Mone stands. Mina leaps to FLYING SLINGBLADE! Cover, TWO!!
Mone survives and Mina grows frustrated, but Mina calls her shout! Mina drags Mone into the dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, but Mone slips free! Underhooks, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free!

Mone scoops Mina for CIPHER UTAKI!! Both women are down and the fans are thunderous! Luther fans Toni, she is still shvitzing despite her face being plain. Mone crawls to a cover, TWO! Mina survives but Mone snarls. Mone drags Mina up, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free again! Victory roll, leg lock, but Mone makes it a cradle!! MONE WINS!!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
The CEO snatches victory from the jaws of defeat and Mina can’t believe it! But then Mone DECKS Mina! NOW Toni does something, and she rushes into the ring! Mone runs away, but only for Toni to let her guard down! Mone CLOBBERS Toni from behind!! The fans boo as Mone goes to the cake she had waiting, licks some of the frosting, then she throws the champagne in Luther’s face! Ten days are all that remain, will Mone show that Toni’s time is up and that her time is now?
Matthew Jackson has a surprise for Nicholas Jackson.
Matt has his brother keep his eyes closed as they walk out into the parking lot. Matt says that since they’re in Ontario, California, and that’s a stone’s throw away from their hometown of Rancho Cucamonga, AND since it is episode 300 of Dynamite, this is a homecoming for them. Matt wanted to celebrate early, went on a shopping spree with the company card, and well… Look! Nick opens his eyes, and it is a stretch limo with their “Founding Fathers” design all over it! Well, in a way, Tony Khan bought this for them. But the outside is just the beginning. Check what’s inside! A tone of new Nike shoes! Nick loves having power and wealth.
Matt says this is how he sees things going: They go on a trip down memory lane, see some of their favorite childhood spots, and then enjoy themselves. The Bucks hop inside, the driver pulls out of the lot, and we begin the montage of The Bucks sharing Rancho Cucamonga with the world. First, Bear Gulch Elementary. Nick had his first kiss here. And the one time he told his teacher to “Suck it,” he got written up for it. They might be the only famous people to ever come out of this city. The reminiscing is set to continue, but will Matt & Nick be ready for their match alongside Konosuke Takeshita? Or will they be a little to high on themselves to care?
AEW returns and…
After the Bucks get some In N Out burgers ‘n’ fries, they stop by their childhood home. And immediately scratch themselves on the chain link fence. It always felt bigger when they were kids. But anyway, it’s more fun in the limo. The Bucks head out again, where will their next stop on “memory lane” be?
Men’s Casino Gauntlet Number Two Spot Fatal 4 Way: MJF VS Anthony Bowens VS Brody King VS AR Fox!
The Scumbag had to eat his words last week when Mark Briscoe won the number one spot in the All In Men’s Casino Gauntlet, but now he looks to get in right behind him. However, the Pride of Professional Wrestling says he has his five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong! Will Bowens get to scissoring and cut MJF in line? Or are they both overlooking the King of Death and the Whole Fox’n Show?

Winner: MJF, by submission (guaranteed #2 entrant in the Casino Gauntlet)
MJF vows that the gauntlet will be his! He is coming for that golden ticket to the top! The Hurt Syndicate celebrates with their guy, but “Reach for the Sky!” Here comes Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as Briscoe shows off the new shirt: “MJF has a Tiny Kosher Pickle!” Briscoe congratulates MJF on winning this match, making him the #2 in the Casino Gauntlet. MJF says yeah, that’s right! Briscoe adds that the bad news is, Briscoe is the #1! That means MJF has ensured himself an uninterrupted ass whooping at least for a brief moment in time. The fans cheer that! They also chant “TINY PICKLE!” and MJF tells them to shut up!
Briscoe shrugs as he looks at his own shirt. Briscoe does want to make this clear, he is not addressing Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin or MVP when he says this. He is talking directly to the man who called him a “Blue Collar B*tch” on national TV. MJF says that’s cuz he is one! Briscoe says the “blue collar” is a badge of armor. But that “b*tch” comment is what has ensured that beatdown! The fans cheer that, too! But Briscoe wants MJF to know that he is always two steps ahead.
So here is a proposition: Next week on Dynamite, MJF has the Hurt Syndicate stay in the back while he gets in the ring with a microphone. Briscoe will then make his way out with a microphone so that they can have a little talky talk. The fans chant “TALKY TALK!” and MJF can’t believe it. Briscoe says if MJF has a pair of nuts next to that tiny pickle, he will accept! The fans cheer that, too! Will the Wolf of Wrestling play fair with the Sussex County Chicken? And wait, here comes #JetSpeed! Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight are back on their feet, and they wanna fight! Lashley & Shelton storm out, and then they get SUPERKICKS for it!
The hands fly, Hurt Syndicate shoves JetSpeed down, but JetSpeed rolls through, dodges the lariats, and slip into the ring! Then they DOUBLE PLANCHA! Down go the tag team champions! Knight & Bailey throw off their shirts to show the taped-up torsos, but they’ve still got heart! They put Shelton back in the ring, hurry after him, but then Lashley is up! The tables turn as Lashley CLOBBERS JetSpeed! He POSTS Bailey while Shelton stomps away on Knight! Then Shelton whips Knight hard into a corner! Lashley drags Bailey back from the corner, Shelton kicks Bailey low, then DECKS him!
Lashley fires KNEE after KNEE into Knight’s ribs, and hits a FLATLINER! Shelton stands Bailey back up so he can scoop SLAM him down beside Knight! The fans are torn but MJF mockingly says he has $100 on Hurt Syndicate. That is definitely the safe bet, but Knight manages to rise up? Knight shouts at them and says they didn’t finish the job! They’re still standing! MJF asks if they’re outta their minds, and MVP says those two are just stupid. He sends Lashley & Shelton back in, the brawl is on again, but then Shelton and Lashley hoist JetSpeed up! STEREO POWERBOMBS!! MJF says now they’re cooked, they can leave.
The Hurt Syndicate regroups and leaves JetSpeed behind. But then Knight rises up again!? Knight says they won’t back down! He and Bailey stand again, so MVP says okay, third time’s the charm. The brawl goes off again, and Lashley RAMS Bailey into buckles! And RAMS him again and again and again! Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KICK Knight in the corner! Lashley drags Bailey back up, gut wrenches, and DOMINATOR!! MJF says stay down! JetSpeed sputters, Hurt Syndicate goes up the ramp, but now Knight gets a mic?! “Hey! Hey! We are still alive! Hurt Syndicate, you may know how to hurt people, but in order to keep those titles, you gotta learn how to kill us.”
MVP has Lashley stand down this time, but Knight tells Shelton that Mama Benjamin must’ve taught him how to fight, “cuz you hit like a b*tch!” Collision 100, Knight VS Shelton 1v1! MJF has Shelton stand down, and the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Will Knight & Bailey keep fighting until they’ve got the titles they want? Or will Collision 100 be their last?
The Founding Fathers Limousine pulls up.
The Young Bucks have finished their reminiscing and are now dressed to compete. They salute themselves before walking into the arena for their entrance.

“Now just to clarify a couple things… This isn’t Swerve & Will trying to become EVPs, because one, I don’t trust Will with that kind of power.

But… Get Swerve on the same page with that. They can tell he’s a little confused. Swerve, it is up to you. If this is what you want, too, then the match is a done deal.

The fans are thunderous for the Golden Lovers reunion! With ten days left, Omega is back and ready to fight! But will he be in fighting shape by July 12th? Or is he risking a lot more than just a title at All In?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite for episode 300, and it moved pretty well with a lot of focus on matches and not that many promos. Great opening promo from Hangman, and daring the Death Riders to anything was of course going to bring them all out to beat him up. But again, Opps stand in the way, I feel like there should be a way to put the AEW World Trios Championships on the line as the Opps haven’t been defending them. How wild would it be for Hook to join Death Riders since he feels replaced within The Opps? Hangman hitting Marina with the Buckshot was pretty wild, too, and I like that we’re making this a Texas Death Match now to really fit the importance of this match.
Awesome TBS Championship match, and Toni played her role in a very different way than I expected. But as close as Mina looked time and again, of course Mone retains. She gets the win on Mina, she gets the sneak attack on Toni, the momentum is with her, meaning Toni is likely to win at All In. I still hold out hope they at least make it for both AEW titles, but maybe that’s too much like Omega and Okada fighting to be a unified champion. But the thing is, Toni winning means she would be owed a shot at any of the titles Mone holds, outside of the Queen of Harts belt. It’d be fitting if it was the Rev-Pro belt when Forbidden Door: London is next on the schedule.
Awesome Fatal 4 to determine #2 in the Casino Gauntlet, but I figured MJF would win. Great promo from Briscoe to challenge MJF to a “talky talk.” And again, fans love Briscoe cuz they chanted that right away. JetSpeed going after Hurt Syndicate and pulling off something reminiscent of Dolph Ziggler getting beat down and still getting up. Also nice deep cut bringing up Shelton’s mama from that failed angle where “Mama Benjamin” was Shelton’s manager. Shelton VS Knight will be great, and impressing MVP through that match could be a way for JetSpeed to earn their tag title shot at All In.
The Young Bucks going around Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga was some fun stuff, and they did a good job playing up being so above their humble beginnings. Awesome Six Man Tag from them and Konosuke against Bandido & Paragon. Those trios combo moves were great, and the Heels win so that Konosuke has momentum going into next week’s Supercard of Honor. Hard to say Konosuke wins the ROH World Championship. I don’t wanna says he’s above it, but then what? We end up in a similar situation to Jericho where the world champ is barely on the show he represents? But Konosuke needs something if he wants to also go strong into a possible feud with Okada.
Ospreay & Swerve going after The Bucks was a great segue into the main event, and I like that we’re also raising the stakes on their match. EVP titles VS no title shot for 12 months, certainly interesting stories to be told either way. But given it’s an entire YEAR of no Ospreay or Swerve going after the world title, I’m leaning towards The Bucks giving up their EVP status. Then they go on a journey to relearn what it was that made them who they are, making their memory lane trip a bit of foreshadowing.
My Score: 9/10
