PLAY BY PLAY
Logan Paul pulls up in the Prime Mobile.
The Maverick and his bros step out of the truck, shake hands with Nick Aldis and dignitaries of Cleveland before heading inside.
Cody Rhodes is here!
Cleveland fires up for The American Nightmare and sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off, Cody raises the Undisputed WWE Championship, then hugs and high-fives fans in the front row. Cody goes to the ring, gets more pyro, then is given a mic. The fans chant his name, and Cody smiles. Cody gets the fans even more fired up, then says, “So, Cleveland… Whaddya wanna talk about?” The fans cheer even more, and Cody says, “Better yet, who do we wanna talk to? Solo Sikoa.” The fans boo that name. Cody waits, and here comes the so-called Tribal Chief. The fans boo more as Solo makes his way out here, solo.
The usurper of the throne drops his overcoat to then step into the ring. The fans chant, “WE WANT ROMAN!” but Solo ignores that as he grabs a mic for himself. Solo tells Cleveland, Ohio, “Acknowledge me.” The fans instead boo and insult him with “SOLO SUCKS!” Cody smiles and he says he sees it. A chip on Solo’s shoulder. They’re both the “little brothers.” It isn’t easy what Solo’s been trying to do in becoming The Tribal Chief. And the lengths he’s gone to in order to get what he’s after, from a distance, Cody almost admires it.
But once the ballyhoo is through, once all the “cinema” that The Bloodline is all famous for is over, there’s an old expression in this business. “Tomorrow night, the bell’s gonna ring.” And when it rings, Solo will find out that he has nothing to lose, and Cody has everything on the line. Solo asks if Cody’s done. Is he? Because he is just wasting time, and Solo is running out of patience. Just like Cody’s reign tomorrow night at SummerSlam. Cody says no, he is not done. Solo is self-appointed! Cody stands here the actual WWE Champion! The fans cheer that!
Cody continues by saying he stands here atop the WWE, on a throne he once broke, and sits here in deep emotional debt to those who have helped him achieve his goals. Men who paid the price with their bodies. Men like Randy Orton, Kevin Owens. If Cody loses at SummerSlam, to Solo Sikoa, Cody cannot repay his debts. Cody will not lose, he will pay those men back with Solo’s blood. Cody will do what he did to Solo’s cousin, Roman Reigns, when he defeated Roman in a Bloodline Rules match. Bloodline Rules, huh? Cody bringing that up, when he beat Roman at WrestleMania, Roman was a weak Tribal Chief. The fans boo that!
Solo says he is not weak. In fact, Solo is the opposite. He is dangerous! And tomorrow night, Solo shows Cody just how dangerous. So Cody talks a big game, huh? “What?” He talks a big game! “What?” Shut up. But Solo wants Cody to put his money where his mouth is. Let’s make tomorrow night a BLOODLINE RULES MATCH! Here comes said Bloodline! Jacob Fatu from one end, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa from another! But as they approach ringside, Cody says Bloodline Rules for SummerSlam? Cody has looked Solo in the eyes, he knows what Solo is all about. Allow Cody to talk to Solo’s friends.
Cody sees Loa, Cody ain’t scared of him. Cody sees Tama, they have history, and he ain’t afraid of Tama, either! And Jacob Fatu… As dumb as it is for Cody to say this, he ain’t scared of that dumb SOB either! The fans go wild hearing that! Cody says tomorrow night, Cleveland SummerSlam, if Solo wants Bloodline Rules, then while this isn’t the smartest move, it is the only one he can make. Cody ACCEPTS! The fans go wild, and Solo says since it has been accepted, you know what can happen right now? If Solo snaps his fingers, his three associates will tear Cody apart. But Solo won’t do that. Because first, the tag team titles come back to The Bloodline.
And then tomorrow night, THE title comes back to The Bloodline, too. The fans boo but Cody says he gets it. Every time one of them is born, they have one thing in common: they hate Cody Rhodes. But Cody doesn’t have to fight Solo’s family. Cody just has to defeat The Tribal Chief. And since The Tribal Chief’s not here… Cody will settle for this wannabe! The fans are going wild while the stakes have been raised! Can Cody survive SummerSlam now that Solo can do whatever he wants?
Carmelo Hayes speaks.
“You guys keep asking me questions about Andrade. Why does everyone wanna see me and Andrade so bad? Alright, you wanna talk about it? Let’s talk about it. Andrade wanna call me Bronny Jr? What you know ’bout being a player? You ain’t makin’ no team. The only thing you know is quitting teams ‘n’ switching teams, let’s talk about it. Go and say how you beat me in some cornfield in Nebraska. Nobody’s gonna remember that, Andrade. What they are gonna remember is that was the night Melo had a breakout performance. They gonna remember that was the night Melo officially became HIM.
“So the next time you and I get on the court, it’s gonna be a whole different game. It’s gonna be Melo in three, Melo in five, as many times as you wanna do this. Because the same thing time and time again is, when I shoot, I don’t miss.” Will Melo hit the game winner this time? Or will he be the one getting dunked on? We find out, after the break!

El Idolo gets HIM again! Melo was talking about “in three,” but uh, that’s 0-2. Is it Melo who has to admit he’s the one struggling? Will it be Andrade that moves on to a title opportunity past SummerSlam?
Legado Del Fantasmo is at gorilla.
Elektra Lopez tells Santos Escobar to take out Apollo Crews, and take care of business. Angel Garza says this will be so easy! Santos hears that and asks Angel if it was “easy” losing to Apollo in the tag gauntlet. Legado Del Fantasma needs to get back on track, and their failure… No, the group’s failure is a knock on the potential they have. Their fortunes will turn, and that starts tonight when Santos takes care of Crews right now. The Emperor leads the way, will he take control of Legado’s future with his own two hands? Or will Smackdown be on Crews Control instead? We see, after the break!

Well, considering it was 3v2 out there, this was the natural outcome. Legado is willing to do what they have to in order to win, will they make SmackDown their empire?
Backstage interview with Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill.
Byron Saxton is with The StrongEST Duo, and he says that for weeks they have been adamant about regaining the Women’s Tag Team Championships. With that in mind, how confident are they going into tonight? Jade says they are very confident. And one thing they do is they stand on business. They said they were coming back for their tag titles, and they do just that. Bianca says remember, Alba & Isla didn’t even pin Bianca or Jade to win the titles. Tonight, it is 2v2, and while they can try their hardest. Alba & Isla can’t whoop The StrongEST. Now, Bianca & Jade have been waiting, and Alba & Isla want all the attention, so now they’ve go it.
Jade says between the Storm and the EST, anyone that steps up gets stepped on! Time is up, because tonight, you’re looking at the NEW WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Will the Unholy Union survive the force of nature coming their way? Or will they have just the thing to turn the tides on Bianca & Jade?
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
The SmackDown General Manager welcomes us back, and he is alongside the Cleveland dignitaries to welcome home one of their own. Please welcome the WWE United States Champion, Logan Paul! The Land boos their returning “hero,” but Logan revels in that. Logan then goes right to the ring, shakes the dignitaries’ hands, as well as Aldis’. Logan gets a mic while the fans boo harder, but Logan says, “Hey, Cleveland, I’m home. LA Knight!” the fans cheer that name! Logan says he has never met a man so eager to take a belt off him. But hey, bad news, Biceps Boy, you aren’t Logan’s type.
And Knight is delusional if he thinks he is stripping Logan of his US Championship in his own hometown! The fans chant for “L A KNIGHT! L A KNIGHT!” Logan says whether the fans wanna admit it or not, he inspires this great city! Logan represents this great city! Logan IS Cleveland! Cleveland boos more and he asks what kind of welcome is this! The reason Knight has so many fans is because people can relate to him: A bunch of try-hards who never made it! And look, it sounds like they don’t think Logan’s a great champion. Guess he sees their point. He has only had two title defenses in his 273 days. But two more than Knight will ever have.
Logan cannot relate to the people, he is great and he “made it.” So today, we are here to recognize Logan’s greatness. That is why he has these esteemed dignitaries. Cleveland’s finest! Aldis is glad Logan brought that up. Aldis put the names of these three people into Google after Logan’s assistant emailed them. Aldis could not find a single- No no no, see, Aldis isn’t from here. Trust Logan, this is all legit. It is insulting to Cleveland, this is Logan’s moment. Time to unveil his championship banner that will hang in the rafters of this sacred arena to permanently remind everyone that Logan Paul IS Cleveland’s Finest.
The drum roll begins, and boom! “YEAH!!” is plastered right over Logan’s face! Logan is pissed, when did that happen!? But here comes The Mega Star! Aldis says he has no idea how this happened, either. Knight has a mic but the fans chant his name for him plenty. “LEMME TALK TO YA!” Knight says he must apologize, but he can’t see what the banner says. What does it say? “YEAH!” “Huh?” “YEAH!” “YEAH!!” Logan says congrats, they can read! Knight says Logan better get serious. They’re 24 hours out from SummerSlam, and from Logan losing his US Championship! And considering last week, Logan’s lucky that’s the worst that can happen!
The fans cheer Knight more, and Knight says he’ll tell ya what, with everything that’s coming to Logan… The best thing to happen to Cleveland? Isn’t Logan from West Lake or something? Logan says it’s a suburb of Cleveland! Well whatever, Logan worried about homecoming and banners, well, Knight will do him a solid. Since tomorrow will be the worst night of Logan’s life, Knight’s gonna go back here, he’ll get a new one for him. Be right back. Knight steps backstage, Logan asks if there really is another one. Where’s DJ Khalid going? Knight says hold on, he’ll find something. Something real ugly.
Knight asks Pretty Deadly something. Do they have a banner? No, sorry, but what about a sneak peak of their Pretty Deadly musical? Chapel Road meets Cats. NO. Knight moves on. No one has anything? No? Wait, hold on, talk about an eye sore. What about the Prime truck? The fans fire up as Knight steps over to it. State of the art, EV, not bad. Logan is hurrying out there, Knight knows it, and here we go. BYE~! Knight takes the Prime Mobile for a joyride, and Logan says this is a crime! Grand Theft Auto? Maybe. Hilarious? YEAH! Will it be even better when Knight drives off with the US Championship tomorrow night?
SmackDown returns and…
Logan argues with Aldis. How could he let that happen on his show? Logan knows Aldis knew! Aldis says that hurts his feelings. Logan wants Aldis to do something about this, and Aldis says he’ll take it up with the “dignitaries.” Aldis leaves Logan in the lurch, will the champ be able to focus on his title when he’s worried about his truck?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn VS Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill!
It is a known fact that Clash at the Castle, where the wicked witches of Scotland won and the StrongEST Duo lost, was a Triple Threat title match. Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark will not be a factor tonight, so it is time to see who is really the better team! Will these titles stay with the Unholy Union? Or will they go right back to Bianca & Jade?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is truly the B E S T in WWE!
The teams sort out and the champs rush the StrongEST Duo! But both Bianca & Jade dodge, then start throwing hands on the champs! They scoop and DOUBLE FALL AWAY SLAM! The fans fire up while Jade & Bianca kip up! Alba & Isla flounder out of the ring, the ref needs one of them to get in. They both side in, but then Alba drops back! Isla runs up and fires off on Jade! Isla runs, but gets run over! Jade fires up, the fans are with her, and Jade runs to SPLASH int he corner! Then she scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Jade drags Isla up to fireman’s carry, but Isla fights free! Isla ROCKS Jade, Jade ROCKS Isla!
Jade bumps Isla off buckles, tags Bianca, and the fans fire up as Bianca stomps a mudhole in. The ref counts, Bianca brings Isla out and suplexes, but Alba makes the save! Only for Jade to join in! Jade & Bianca dodge again to ROCK the champs! Alba & Isal go to corners, Jade & Bianca run up! Jade & Bianca block boots, Jade ROCKS Alba while Bianca puts Isla up top! Bianca ROCKS Isla, Jade does in kind. We get STEREO MILITARY PRESS SLAMS! Wakanda Forever, Black Girl Magic, and The Land is fired up while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and the champs mug Jade. Isla runs up but Jade dodges the knee! Alba tags in, Jade DECKS Isla but Alba drags her back! Jade fights her way forward, reaches out, and Jade BOOTS Alba! But Isla YANKS Bianca down! No tag for Jade, and Alba CLOBBERS Jade from behind! The fans boo but Alba KICKS Jade in the side! Tag to Isla, she brings Jade up while Alba climbs. BACKSTABBER to SWANTON COMBO SANDWITCH!! Cover, TWO!! Jade survives and Isla can’t believe it! Isla calls to Alba, then brings Jade over. Tag and the champs double suplex, but Jade fights it!
Jade then DOUBLE SUPLEXES Alba & Isla! Jade hurries, hot tag to Bianca! The fans fire up as Bianca ROCKS Isla, ROCKS Alba, then goes up to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! Cleveland is thunderous as Bianca continues to rally! DROPKICK for Isla! Wrench and suplex for Alba! Bianca marches around then SLAMS her down! Bianca kips up, runs at Isla, and RAMS her! Bianca climbs to rain down fists! The fans count, but Alba runs up! Bianca backflips over to RAM both cjamps! Bianca then climbs to rain down fists on them both! The fans count again, and Bianca goes all the way to TEN!
Alba gets free to get Bianca’s braid! Bianca uses that to send Alba into Isla! Then SPINEBUSTER for Alba! Handspring and MOONSAULT! Cover, Isla breaks it! Jade storms in and CLUBS Isla! But Isla TOSSES Jade out! Jade drags Isla out, and SUPERKICKS! Alba rolls Bianca up! TWO! Bianca ROCKS Alba, then torture racks! But BLAIR DAVENPORT appears, and she RAMS Jade into steel steps!!
Winners: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, by disqualification (Alba & Isla retain the titles)
The fans boo and Bianca is mad, but now all these wicked witches attack! This coven from the United Kingdom beat Bianca up, KAMI-GOYE for Bianca! But Jade drags Blair out to BOOT her! Jade grabs Isla, but Alba CHOP BLOCKS a leg out! The mugging now focuses on Jade! They POST Jade, then TOSS her over the desk! Jade hits armchairs hard and fans lose their minds! Will nothing stop this new trio of darkness in taking over SmackDown?
Tiffany Stratton still sulks over her smashed briefcase.
She sits with the beat-up, taped-up Money in the Bank briefcase, but Nia Jax walks in and says she has a surprise for Tiffy! For the perfect princess to the Queen of the Ring, Nia presents her with a custom briefcase! Bright pink and glittery with golden logo, and Nia wants her to remember who got this for her. Because if Tiff cashes in, they will no longer be Princess and Queen. Tiff will have to answer to Nia. Tiff promises, and thanks Nia. Tiff says this briefcase is perfect! But then in step Chelsea Green & Piper Niven. The Hot Mess says, rather sarcastically, “Isn’t that adorable?” Personally, change the font, upgrade the crystals, and make it soft green.
Because before Tiffy so rudely pushed Chelsea off the ladder, Chelsea was designing her own custom briefcase. Chelsea asks “P” if she thinks “Cha-Ching Chelsea” would’ve been so much better than “Tacky Tiffy Time.” Tiff says green is definitely not Chelsea’s color. Tootles. Chelsea is offended, Piper is also upset, but will they do something about the self-centered Center of the Universe soon enough?
WWE Tag Team Championships: #DIY VS The Bloodline!
Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano took these titles and kept these titles from A-Town Down Under, but now they’re facing a team far more dangerous than perhaps any team they ever have. Tama Tonga & Jacob Fatu crushed the hopes of The Street Profits just last week, will they crush the dreams of DIY? Or will the Sicilian Psycho help Johnny Wrestling have a triumphant homecoming?
SmackDown returns and Ciampa walks ‘n’ talks backstage. “Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, I don’t believe we’ve been formally introduced. I’m one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Blackheart, Tommaso Ciampa.” Ciampa walks up to Johnny Gargano while wife Candice LeRae and baby boy Quill Gargano wish him luck alongside Indi Hartwell. Gargano then introduces himself as Johnny Wrestling! SummerSlam 1996 was the very first WWE show Gargano ever saw in this very building. And that was the night he decided he needed to become a WWE wrestler. And 28 years later, he is back home in this building, in the main event as one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions!
This new Bloodline likes to talk about family. But did they forget? They’re in Cleveland, Ohio! This is Johnny’s city, these are Johnny’s people. Tonight, The Bloodline will be surrounded by 10 THOUSAND members of Johnny’s family. Cleveland, let’s freakin’ go! DIY steps through gorilla, fired up for the fight that’s coming! The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who wins this fight in The Land!
The teams sort out and Tama starts against Ciampa. The fans rally up, the two circle, and they approach. Tama body shots then fires off hands! Tama has Ciampa in a corner as he fires more hands, but lets off as the ref counts. Tama storms up but Ciampa ROCKS him in return! Ciampa fires hands, but Tama shoves back. Ciampa ducks ‘n’ dodges, but then Tama kitchen sink knees! Gator roll and suplex, for a FALCON ARROW! Tama then POSTS Ciampa in the neutral corner! Ciampa falls to the floor and Gargano hurries to back him up. Solo Sikoa says he won’t do anything, but Gargano doesn’t trust it. Solo soaks up the heat while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Fatu runs up, but into an ELBOW from Ciampa! Ciampa goes to a corner, Fatu runs in but Ciampa dodges, Fatu’s splash only gets POST! The fans fire up while both men are down! Fatu and Ciampa crawl, hot tags to Tama and Gargano! The fans fire up for their hometown hero! Gargano fires hands, whips, but Tama reverses. Gargano CLOBBERS Tama, LARIATS, then sees Fatu get up! ENZIGIRI for the Samoan Werewolf! ENZIGIRI for the Good Bad Guy! Fatu runs up again but Gargano DUMPS him out! Gargano runs at Tama, is put on the apron, but Gargano GAMANGIRIS Tama!
Gargano SUPERKICKS Fatu, then SLINGSHOT SPEARS Tama! Cover, TWO! Tama stays in this but the fans rally behind Gargano! Tag to Ciampa, Gargano goes side to side, ENZIGIRI KNEE COMBO! Gargano CANNONBALLS Fatu! Ciampa has Tama up to and tucks him in, SUPER AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, TWO!! Tama survives and Solo is stressing out. Ciampa sits Tama up to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP again! Tama runs up, but into a ripcord! Tama ROCKS Ciampa first, but Ciampa shoves and BOOTS him back! Ciampa runs, Fatu tags in, and he CLOBBERS Ciampa! Then he SUPERKICKS Gargano!
Fatu runs in at Ciampa, HIP ATTACK! Fatu tags back to Tama and Tama climbs. Fatu sets Ciampa up for SUPREME FLOW!! Cover, GARGANO BREAKS IT! The fans are thunderous but Fatu throat chops Gargano! Gargano flops out of the ring, Fatu storms out after him to fire hands! Fatu HEADBUTTS Gargano again and again, then sits him against steel steps. Fatu roars and runs in, but only gets steps!! Tama staggers up, storms to Ciampa, but Ciampa drags him into a roll-up, TWO!! Tama escapes, Gargano tags in! The splash misses, SHATTER MACHINE hits!! The fans are thunderous, and DIY sets up in corners!
But wait! Loa gets on the apron! The ref stops Loa, but Solo SAMOAN SPIKES Ciampa! Gargano is furious, but Tama catches him for a TONGAN TWIST!! Cover, TWO!!! Gargano survives and The Land erupts! Tama rains down fists, he shouts to Fatu and Loa, and Fatu gets in! Fatu and Tama stomp away, then they put up the ones. The fans boo while Ciampa sputters on the outside. Gargano stands to SUPERKICK Fatu! And he SUPERKICKS Tama! Loa gets back up but Gargano SUPERKICKS him, too! The fans roar as Gargano DIVES! Tama is sent into the desk! Gargano hurries back in, and he dodges Fatu to hop up, POISON-RANA!
But Fatu rises!! This guy IS a monster! He SUPERKICKS Gargano, then POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Fatu hurries right up to BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! And then, IMPALER DDT!! Cover, BLOODLINE WINS!
Winners: The Bloodline, by pinfall (NEW WWE Tag Team Champions)
The first promise of Solo Sikoa comes true! His henchmen, his MFT and his Enforcer stand tall with the gold! They raise those belts, to put them on Solo’s shoulders!? Will Solo soon go from a pale imitation of The Tribal Chief to the real deal? Or will Cody Rhodes expose the usurper as a pretender to the throne?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home episode for SmackDown here as WWE seems to continue a new trend. Instead of putting matches on the kickoff shows for a Premium Live Event, they just put those matches on SmackDown. It makes sense, as it gets SmackDown the ratings, and not everyone watches the kickoff show. And going by Andrade VS Melo, they also let these be on the level of a PLE. Melo had a good promo to hype the match up, and it also gives him that typical “arrogant Heel who distorts the facts” thing. Though, I kinda thought Melo would win this one to force a tiebreaker but now he’s 2-0 and there really isn’t a reason for Andrade to give him a third.
Though that said, Andrade could/should move up to be a challenger for the US Championship. Very good promo segment from LA Knight with Logan Paul, including Aldis questioning just how important these “dignitaries” were. But I figured last week that something was unfortunately going to tip the scales back in Logan’s favor, and Knight defacing his banner and stealing his Prime branded truck are probably it. As much as I’d love for Knight to defy the go-home math trope, even the HHH Era hasn’t completely turned that over. Logan probably gives Cleveland their win for the weekend, and then moves on to another top Face.
With that, I figured Bloodline would find a way to beat DIY. I really like the walk ‘n’ talk promos DIY is doing, but even having the moment with Candice & Quill wasn’t enough to be “win entrance.” DIY lose to serve the story of The Bloodline, which of course has to parallel the earlier chapters in order for Solo to at least appear on par with Roman Reigns. The visual of him holding up two belts was definitely a solid part of that. And now that Cody VS Solo is Bloodline Rules, we’re taking this to another level. Great promo from Cody and Solo to give us that match, and now you can just feel the return of Roman Reigns.
They might not just throw Roman out there, though. Jimmy might make a return, trick Solo into thinking he’s an ally, but then Jimmy swerves Solo and serves him up for Roman to serve some family justice. That plants sees for Bloodline Civil War WarGames, and we’ll have a couple months to build up the teams. And with all this talk of Hikuleo on his way over from NJPW, and Zilla Fatu being in town even tonight, it’s just a matter of who is with who to get us to 5v5. Jey is of course a possibility, but maybe Cody ends up an unlikely ally for Roman since there’s respect there over what happened at WrestleMania?
Santos VS Crews was good stuff, even with Legado getting involved so Crews would lose. We might get another tag match, or maybe Corbin takes Santos on 1v1 next. Corbin and Crews might even get a third man to make this a Six Man Tag, I just have no idea who that would be. Good promo from Nia and Tiff to present the Tiffy in the Bank briefcase. That’s not how I pictured the custom Tiffy briefcase looking but that might actually be better. And good promo from Tiff with Chelsea & Piper to be all mean girls VS mean girls. Nia’s warning to Tiff is probably enough to say no cash-in tomorrow, and honestly, that’s fine. It feels like we might get Tiff VS Chelsea for the MITB contract to prolong Tiff’s time as Miss MITB. Gotta sell replica briefcases, y’know.
And great women’s tag team championship match tonight. Bianca & Jade had a good promo to hype things up, but I had a feeling they’d lose because of something underhanded. Blair Davenport was of course going to join up with Alba & Isla, as the Women’s Tag Division is unofficially becoming a trios division. Shayna & Zoey joined Sonya, Lyra joined Kayden & Katana, DMG CTRL has always been three or more, and while Blair joins Alba & Isla, we know #TheBig3 of Bianca, Jade & Naomi can counter them all. Maybe we get big faction warfare for Bash in Berlin or even Bad Blood, with the tag titles being the ultimate prize at the end.
My Score: 8.8/10

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

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

Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!
Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Knight survives and Cage is frustrated, but Cage decides to write Knight off. Cage drags Knight up, reels him in, and suplexes, DRILL- NO, Knight slips free to waistlock. But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight. Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off shots, then fires a flurry of haymakers! But Cage grabs and TOSSES Knight to a corner!

The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back.

The fans fire up with Ospreay as he watches Ace rise up. Ospreay ducks a shot, atomic drops, then KNEES, ROUNDHOUSES, and STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, TWO! Ace survives that quick string of moves, but Ospreay brings him back around. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS again! And again! But Ace blocks one to ROCK Ospreay! Ace whips, Ospreay handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK!
The fans fire up while Ace bails out! Ospreay has the fans shouting “OI! OI! OI!” as he takes aim. But Ace avoids the plancha! Ospreay blocks the kick, only for Ace to handstand out of the sweep! Ace avoids another sweep, but Ospreay avoids the kick! Ace avoids yet another sweep by going up and over the corner! Ace WRECKS Ospreay with a dropkick, then aims to PLANCHA after all! Down goes Ospreay and the fans fire up! Ace drags Ospreay up, but Ospreay puts him int he ring! Ace rewinds to headscissor, but Ospreay pops Ace up to SUPERKICK the arm out! Ospreay then climbs up, takes aim, and BLINDSIDE FOREARM!
The fans fire up as Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Ace survives and Ospreay is stunned! Ospreay just shakes it off, goes to the corner, and takes aim. Ace slowly rises up, but he ducks the Hidden Blade to DOUBLE STOMP! Ospreay sputters, Ace falls back, and now Ace takes aim. Ace runs corner to corner to A-LIST LARIAT! Then he LARIATS again and again! Ace hoists Ospreay up top, then slips outside to ENZIGIRI! Ospreay wobbles, Ace gets space, and Ace runs up! FLIPPING RANA! The fans fire up as Ace is ready to deal the winning hand! But then Ospreay pops Ace up, and gets him in position! STYLES- NO, Ace pops free!
Ace trips Ospreay, steps through, ties up the legs, TRAILER HITCH BRIDGE! TWO!! Ospreay escapes, but Ace KNEES, KICKS, and fireman’s carries! Ace tucks Ospreay to then swing him out, AIR RAID FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives and Ace is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” as Ace stalks Ospreay to a corner. Ace ROCKS Ospreay again and again, then hoists Ospreay up top. But Ospreay fires shots in return! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, goes up, but Ospreay pushes on Ace’s arm! Then he HOTSHOTS the arm as he drops down, and he tucks Ace in! CHEEKY NAN- NO, Ace dodges! Ace RAMS low, springboards in and FLYING- LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Ace survives again! Ospreay roars, the fans are with him, and he ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Ospreay KICKS! Ace fires another forearm, Ospreay kicks, then Ace CHOPS! They go back and forth again, but Ace CHOPS and ROKCS, until Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks! CHOP! Ace HEEL KICKS! Ace shakes out the bad arm, runs up, but Ospreay dodges to then ROLLING ELBOW! And HOOK KICK! Then the underhooks for the STORM- NO, Ace pops free, then goes to a corner. Ospreay runs up but Ace goes sideways! Ospreay hits buckles, Ace hits the FLYING CHUCK!
The fans fire up as Ace shuffles the deck, and runs up for the0 NO, Ospreay BACKDROPS Ace, but Ace lands on his feet! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay isn’t done with just one, he aims from the corner and… Ace flops over! The fans boo but Ospreay shows no mercy. He just runs up to PENALTY KICK the bad arm! Then a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
