WWE United States Championship Open Challenge: LA Knight VS ???
Berlin goes wild for the Mega Star as he makes his way out to the ring! Knight poses on the corner, then grabs a mic while fans chant his name. Knight says, “LEMME TALK TO YA! 27 years… Some of you might not know this, but it’s been 27 long years since the WWE has come here and done a major televised event in Berlin. And MY GAWD, what a way to kick it off other than with the man they call the Mega Star, YEAH!” The fans say “YEAH!” and cheer him on again. Knight understands that sitting on his should is the United States Championship, and just last week, he had his very first and successful title defense in the US capital, Washington, DC.
Hey, now, no need to boo that. Because Knight thought to himself… The fans chant “You Deserve It!” in terms of the title reign, and Knight says hold on, let’s do that in a minute. Because he thought if he was gonna defend this title, defending it in one capital, he might as well defend it in the capital of Germany! It might become a trend! They can call this The Capital Championship! But right here, your US Champion, Knight said he’d hold an “LA Knight Invitational Open Challenge!” So anyone who wants to answer, tell ya what, we’re just a day away from Bash In Berlin. But SmackDown is in Berlin, and as far as he’s concerned, whoever wants it can get bashed, YEAH!
Knight waits on a response, and wait! Imperium’s Ludwig Kaiser makes his way out here! Or rather, Germany’s own Ludwig Kaiser! The fans cheer, and Kaiser tells Berlin, in German, that Ludwig Kaiser is home! And if Knight really is the champion he says he is, then he surely wants to defend his championship against the very best all over the world! Well, Kaiser himself and the entirety of Berlin can guarantee Knight that there is no one better on German soil than the Impeccable German, Ludwig Kaiser! So here’s a news flash: After Kaiser beats Knight in his home country’s capital, he will take that title, bring it all across Europe, and make it bigger than it ever was as the EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP!
The fans are fired up for Kaiser, perhaps a first for him. Knight says he has to be honest, that reaction is impressive, for Gunther’s stooge. But hey, talking about what he wants to do with this title, he can do anything he wants. The only problem is, he has to win it! But he won’t, cuz he can’t, cuz Knight won’t let him! So here’s how it goes. Kaiser wants to talk about what he wants, well all he gets is three the hard way! Knight will hit it ‘n’ quit it, move on to the next, and then the world can pledge allegiance to the champ, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” The match is set, we just need a ref! While we wait, SmackDown takes a break.
SmackDown returns, a ref is here, and the bell rings. The fans fire up and cheer on Kaiser. There are Knight fans, but the split is pretty one-sided. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, and they go around. Kaiser uses his height for leverage but Knight turns things around to put Kaiser in a corner. Knight lets off cleanly, and the fans rally as the two reset. They feel things out, tie up again, and Kaiser chinbars. Kaiser wrenches Knight, wristlocks, and he pushes on the hold. Knight endures, fights up, and rolls to wrench and YANK the arm again and again! The fans are torn, Knight WRINGS Kaiser out, but Kaiser gets right up!
The fans cheer as Kaiser gets in Knight’s face then shoves. Knight shoves back, they tie up again, and they go around. Kaiser pulls hair to put Knight in a corner, then he fires hands! Kaiser headlocks for a takeover to grind Knight down. Knight endures, fights up, and rolls Kaiser. Kaiser lets go, Kaiser ELBOWS him down! Knight puts Kaiser in a corner, stomps him, “YEAH! YEAH!” Then he JABS, “YEAH! YEAH!” Knight whips Kaiser corner to corner, but Kaiser reverses. Kaiser runs up, blocks a boot, and the fans join in saying, “NEIN!” UPPERCUT! The fans cheer, Kaiser stomps Knight, and they say “JA! JA! JA!”
Kaiser lets off, runs up, but Knight LARIATS first! The fans fire up as Knight kicks Kaiser out. Knight goes out, brings Kaiser around, and hits an APRON BACK SUPLEX! The fans sing a German soccer song as Knight brings Kaiser around, and Kaiser RAMS Knight into the apron! And then throws him into the steel steps! The fans rally as Kaiser refreshes the count, then builds speed around the way! SHOTGUN against the steps! Knight writhes, the ref has Kaiser back off, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and the fans cheer as Kaiser stands over Knight. Knight goes to the apron, Kaiser goes after him and HAMMERS away! The ref counts, Kaiser lets off to then juke and CLOBBER Knight more! The ref counts, Kaiser lets off, and the fans continue to sing for Kaiser. Kaiser pushes Knight around, then sits him up. Knight hits back, but Kaiser fires hands! They go back and forth, shot for shot, then they stand to keep going! Kaiser CHOPS then BOOTS Knight, then eggs him on!

Kaiser may have lost out, but he surely made his country proud! Kaiser will also be in the Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament on Monday, will he use that as his second chance at a championship? As for Knight, where else will he take this title as he looks to prove he’s the best ever?
Apollo Crews & Baron Corbin VS Legado Del Fantasma!
While they were having a laugh at Santos Escobar’s expense, they won’t back down just because Angel & Berto are looking for a fight. Will #ACBC rock #LosGarza then roll on towards bigger and better? Or will they learn not to get on Legado’s bad side?
SmackDown returns and Legado makes their entrance, and they’re all in a serious, angry mood. The teams sort out, Apollo starts against Berto and the two tie up.

It was 4v2, but Los Garza did it for #MTY, Monterey! Will nothing stop them from forcing their way to the top of SmackDown?
Solo Sikoa speaks.
“You know what’s gonna happen next week? The Bloodline VS DIY and The Street Profits. And the four of you, you will acknowledge me. So that you understand what you’re up against, the first day I took over The Bloodline, I sacrificed my own brother, Jimmy. Then I took out The Wise Man, Paul Heyman. Then, I took out Roman Reigns. Not only did I take out Roman Reigns, I took his ula fala. I took the right to be called The Tribal Chief. I took ownership of this family. Now imagine, if I’ve done this to my own family, imagine what the four of us are going to do to the four of you.”
Jacob Fatu wants to adorn Solo, but Solo says not yet. Because first warns Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, “I don’t give a damn which one of you wins. Because whoever is the champion after tomorrow, The Tribal Chief is coming for you.” Now Solo accepts the ula fala. Will nothing stop him and his Bloodline from becoming the ones that run SmackDown?
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
The fans cheer as SmackDown returns with its General Manager here, and he says it feels so good to be live in the lovely Uber Arena! Now, in just 24 hours, superstars from both Raw and SmackDown will compete in matches that could change the landscape of the WWE forever, as they bring you the latest Premium Live Event, Bash In Berlin. The fans cheer that! Aldis says Bash In Berlin is the culmination of unbelievably successful European tours. Aldis cues up a montage: From the Netherlands; to Belgium; to Oberhausen, Germany; to Stuttgart, Germany; Frankfurt, Germany; and of course, right here in Berlin!
The fans cheer that, and Aldis says on behalf of the WWE, and in German, he thanks everyone so very, very much. Now, to business! One of the most important matches- No, wait, as SmackDown GM, he knows it is THE most important match, the Undisputed WWE Championship is on the line! So at this time, allow him to introduce first, the challenger, Kevin Owens! Berlin fires up for KO as he makes his entrance. And of course, the champion, Cody Rhodes! Fans cheer as The American Nightmare makes his entrance, and they even sing along with the song, “WHOA~, OH~!” Cody gets his pyro, the meter shows triple digit decibels, and Cody continues to the ring.
Cody and Kevin get mics while the fans cheer, and Aldis wishes them both the best of luck tomorrow night. The floor is theirs. Aldis leaves the ring, the fans are torn, but eventually a song of, “Cody Rhodes~! Cody, Cody Rhodes~!” takes over. Kevin starts by saying “Cody… Whaddya wanna talk about? Get it? Because Cody always says that. Cody says in German, this championship right here! The North Star in their sport, and the fact that Cody and Kevin are going 1v1, and have sold out Berlin, Germany, for the Undisputed WWE Championship! The fans fire up for that! Kevin waits out the singing before he begins again.
They could talk about that title, sure, that is huge. But there is something Kevin wants to talk about, maybe Cody doesn’t. Let’s talk about that European tour. More specifically, something that happened to Cody’s knee. Cody says no, nothing happened. His knee is fine. But let’s talk about last week. Cody & Kevin beat two of the WWE’s biggest future stars in Austin Theory & Grayson Waller, that was great. The fans applaud, and Cody does want to ask about the ending. Kevin handed Cody his title, but to a lot of people, it looked like if Cody hadn’t turned when he did, he was gonna get hit in the back with it.
Cody is not accusing, but Kevin did bring it up. Given Kevin’s track record… Kevin says yeah, okay, c’mon. Kevin gets it, but like he also said last week, that video, that list of guys he “turned on,” everyone on it deserved it. Except for Kofi Kingston, so again, Kevin is very sorry. But hey, that doesn’t matter. Kevin and Cody have never had that relationship, they’ve always been close. Even before they met, Kevin’s relationship with Dusty, what makes Cody think Kevin would ever do that to him? Why would he ever do that? Why, indeed. Cody knows they’ve never spoken about this, but now seems a good time as ever.
Cody thinks maybe Kevin is angry with him. 2015, 2016, Cody “went out into the world,” went to a lot of places Kevin had been, walked with a lot of people Kevin knew. The whole change, the revolution, the wrestling renaissance going on, it feels like Kevin doesn’t get enough credit, and perhaps Cody gets too much. That is something Kevin might be mad about. The fans cheer now, and Kevin chuckles. Kevin says that is all very nice, but he isn’t sure what to say to that. Kevin says he’d never do that to Cody because he doesn’t need to. You know why? Because what Kevin was talking about earlier: Cody’s bad knee.
Hey, man, Kevin knows Cody got hurt. Because every night after, Kevin would get messages from people that Cody was limping, in the training room, hours at a time. Kevin knows Cody is hurt. So if Cody isn’t 100%, he- Cody stops Kevin there. 100%, his knee, what is this? IS this some kind of sabotage? Is this Kevin trying to find an excuse like he did three weeks ago? Does he still feel he doesn’t deser- Kevin stops Cody now, and says if Cody’s so fine, why didn’t he take a knee like he usually does during his entrance? The fans realize that’s true. Kevin says the reason he’s bringing this up is because yesterday, that was eight YEARS since the night Kevin won the Universal Championship.
Fans cheer, and Kevin says he can remember that night like it was yesterday. Kevin won the title, he should’ve been on top of the world, but people told him he didn’t deserve it. He was told he only had the title because of Triple H. That tainted that reign forever, to this day. Kevin is still bitter. So if Cody walks in NOT 100%, with only one good leg, what happens when Kevin beats him- When? Tainted victory? Is Kevin hearing himself? Cody’s knee is 100%, rock solid! So he is ready for Kevin tomorrow! It sounds like Kevin is talking with confidence, but this is anger. Kevin is angry because he knew what it meant for Cody to come back.
It meant Cody was going to blaze a path, leave people in the rearview mirror, friends included. he couldn’t take everyone with him! Kevin knew! WrestleMania 38, the biggest night in Kevin’s career, squaring off with Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the very next day, Kevin had to share the spotlight with Cody> Cody would be angry, too. But Cody says he loves Kevin. The fans cheer that! Cody doesn’t have many friends but Kevin is one. Someone once asked Cody this that Cody is asking Kevin. Cody will defeat Kevin tomorrow, no tainted victory about it, and when that happens… “Will we still be friends?”
The fans like where this is going. They chant “YES! YES! YES!” but Kevin’s look might say otherwise. Kevin drops his mic, whispers something to Cody, then leaves. He didn’t answer, but will his actions speak volumes when it is time to Bash In Berlin?
Apollo Crews & Baron Corbin regroup backstage.
They were close tonight, but then it fell apart, and they don’t get why. But then Austin Theory & Grayson Waller walk over. Waller mocks “these two losers” for having no charisma, no chemistry. Theory told Waller that Crews & Corbin aren’t even half the tag team A-Town Down Under is! Theory’s face clearly says Waller is selling him out, but Corbin says if that’s true, say it to his face. Theory says fine, he said that. Corbin says he will beat the brakes off him! Crews has Corbin cool off, and Theory tells Waller not to do that. Then he tells Waller to stop, because he’s talking. Terrence Crawford knocks Theory out, and why? Because Waller was talking!
And now Waller’s calling out Corbin & Crews, telling them they’re falling apart? Nah, A-Town Down Under’s falling apart. Waller apologizes, but all his mates and family are back home. It’s just what they do in Australia. But for real, Theory is his best friend. He is sorry for not treating him that way. They good? Theory says yeah, and they shake hands. But will ATDU be able to hold things together to head back for the WWE Tag Team Championships?
Giovanni Vinci speaks.
“Inspire, rise above, and win with honor. This is my purpose. This is not my return. It is my arrival. Soon, everyone will remember my name. Vinci. Giovanni Vinci.” Who will be inspired when The Pride of Italy arrives on SmackDown?
Andrade VS Carmelo Hayes!
It seems the Best of… who knows series continues! El Idolo is still up 2-1, will he finally leave H1M behind at 3-1? Or will Melo keep going until he’s the one in the lead?
SmackDown returns and Melo makes his entrance. Melo dares Andrade to come bring it to the ramp! Andrade doesn’t fall for the bait, so Melo rushes in! The bell rings and these two fire hands! The fans fire up as they go around, and Melo pushes Andrade away. Andrade BOOTS then TOSSES Melo out. Andrade runs, goes up and up and TORNILLO PLANCHAS! The fans fire up again and Andrade CHOPS Melo. Andrade puts Melo in, storms up and kicks again. Andrade whips, Melo springboards for the FLYING LARIAT! Melo goes up a corner but Andrade trips him! Melo is stuck in a Tree of Woe, and Andrade goes up!
Andrade stops Melo from hitting back, to then APRON WOE STOMP!! The fans are thunderous while Melo sputters and Andrade hobbles. “This is Awesome!” as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Melo stomps away on Andrade. Melo grabs a leg, “WOO~!” but Andrade BOOTS him away. The fans rally, Andrade rises, and Andrade then ROCKS Melo with forearm after forearm! And an ELBOW! Melo kicks but Andrade blocks to DRAGON SCREW! Things speed up, Andrade dodges to then CLOBBER Melo with a forearm! Melo writhes but Andrade kips up! The fans fire up, and Andrade goes to a corner. Andrade climbs, and MOONSAULT DOUBLE! Cover, TWO!! Melo survives and Andrade is a bit frustrated. Melo goes to a corner, the fans rally, and Andrade pounds the mat.
The fans clap along with Andrade as he powers up, “SI! SI! SI!” Andrade goes corner to corner, but Melo is there for the FIRST 48! Andrade falls into a corner, and Melo mocks him with the thigh smacks! Melo goes corner to corner, he is CIEN SHADOWS! Cover, TWO!! Andrade survives Melo’s take on his move, and Melo hobbles up. Melo drags Andrade up, CHOPS, but Andrade huffs and puffs. Andrade shoves Melo so Melo CHOPS again! And again, and again! Melo CLUBS Andrade, reels him in, and talks some smack. But Andrade snap suplexes! That’s Uno Amigo! But Melo slips out at dos! Andrade switches, rolls Melo, deadlifts and POWERBOMBS!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up and Andrade rises up. Melo flounders, Andrade stomps him to the corner. The fans sing for Andrade and he slaps the thighs. Andrade goes corner to corner, but he sees the top buckle is missing! Melo SUPERKICKS! A distraction and another interception, Melo covers! TWO!! Andrade survives, but Melo stomps him. Melo runs, goes up, but Andrade catches him at ropes! Andrade goes up, to INVERTED SPANISH FLY!! Cover, TWO!! Melo survives, Andrade is too tired to react, but the fans again say “This is Awesome!” as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again, and Andrade has Melo up top. But Melo SLAPS Andrade! And SLAPS! And SLAPS! Andrade drops back, but Melo brings him back up! Only for Andrade to turn things around, SUPER FALL AWAY SLAM!! Both men are down and Berlin is thunderous again! Andrade crawls to a cover, TWO!! Melo survives again and the fans are loving this! Andrade and Melo stir, then sit up. Melo fires a forearm, but Andrade SLAPS! Melo forearms, Andrade SLAPS again! Andrade then shots around, but Melo switches, shoves, and rolls back! Andrade boot feints to ELBOW!! Cover, TWO!!
Andrade is beside himself while Melo is in a daze. Andrade drags Melo around, rolls him to a corner and CHOPS! Andrade puts Melo up top, CHOPS him again, then climbs up after Melo. The fans fire up as Andrade goes to the very top, but Melo slips under to TRIP Andrade! Andrade hits the bare buckle!! Melo uses that to his advantage, and he goes up! NOTHING BUT NET!! Cover, Melo wins!!
Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by pinfall; series is now 2-2
The bare buckle was a complete fluke, but Melo uses it to his advantage! He gets the game winner, and now we’re all tied up! Will we need just one more? Or does this only end when the score favors H1M?
The StrongEST Duo speaks.
They are rewatching Clash at the Castle, and The EST says, “Let’s be real. This was more than just a match for you, and I get it. You come in with big hype, big expectations, you feel unstoppable, making headlines, everyone’s your best friend. But… Then a couple things go wrong. You start to doubt yourself. I’ve been there. But failure’s a part of the process, and you can’t be afraid to fail. We are not here by accident. We are either up, or getting up.” The Storm adds that, “We define our own legacy. Because the fight isn’t in the ring. It’s here (your mind), and it’s here (your heart).” This is their dream, so is she ready to make it a reality? Is she ready to take back the titles?
They both tell each other, “Let’s go!” They are here to finish what they started. They are coming back for THEIR tag team titles! “It’s inevitable.” Will Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill make those promises into a reality? Or will the wicked witches, Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn, find another way to survive these forces of nature?
WWE Women’s Championship Street Fight: Nia Jax VS Mia Yim!
The Irresistible Queen of the Ring may have had her notes about the celebration Tiffany Stratton threw for her, but she most certainly did NOT appreciate Michin busting in there and busting it up! Will Nia make Mia pay with blood, sweat and tears? Or will the Head Baddie in Charge finally be a champion?
SmackDown returns and Mia walks ‘n’ talks to gorilla. “I’ve fought my whole life for this. Every battle, every war. And it’s all led me hear to Berlin. Now, you can like me or you can hate me, but I promise you, after tonight, when I become the new Women’s Champion, you will not forget me. You’re about to understand that Michin is not who I am, it’s what I am.” And The Head Baddie is bringing a shopping cart of goodies! Will Mia use every single one of those in beating down and dethroning the Queen of the Ring?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it’s time to get nuts!
The bell rings, Mia dodges to already SMACK away with a kendo stick! Nia bails out, Mia chases her, and SMACKS, but Nia blocks the stick! Nia stares Mia down, pokes her with the stick, and now Mia backs off. Nia swings, Mia ducks, and Nia smacks post! Mia POSTS Nia, grabs the stick back, and fans want tables. Mia brings Nia into ropes first to SMACK her, then SPIKE RANA! Cover, TWO! Nia is still in this but she clutches her neck. Mia goes out, brings out more kendo sticks, then brings out a chair! The fans rally, Mia keeps searching, and yes, she finds a TABLE! The fans cheer but Nia runs up to SMACK Mia!

Nia brings Mia around, puts her on that new table, and she goes up a corner. The fans boo but Mia hurries up! Mia CLUBS Nia on the back! And CLUBS her again, and again! Then Mia carries Nia off the corner, to POWERBOMB through the table!!! But Mia can’t make the cover!! The fans are thunderous, and “It’s Tiffy Time!” Now the fans are really going nuts because Miss Money in the Bank is here! She JAMS and SMACKS Mia! Tiff did it to save Nia, but now she thinks about it…! But then Nia wakes up and sees Tiff! Tiff says she’s saving Nia! Tiff CLOBBERS Mia, helps Nia cover her, TWO!!
The fans cheer, Tiff panics, and she hurries up a corner! But wait! Here comes Bayley! The Role Model is back to make sure Tiff doesn’t get what she wants! Tiff takes a swing, Bayley dodges to CLOBBER Tiff! The fans fire up as Bayley throws Tiff out, DUMPS her over barriers, and brawls with her! Mia dodges Nia! Nia hits buckles, Mia rolls her up, TWO!

Nia goes up and up for a FULL METAL A-NIA-LATOR!!! Cover, Nia wins!!
Winner: Nia Jax, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Champion)
The Queen is victorious, but she’s not done! Nia CHUCKS pieces of table at the can, SMACKS away on it with a kendo stick, and only lets off as the ref gets between her and Mia. Who will be the next to feel her wrath?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, as have all these go-home episodes been. Especially when we’re talking these international shows, Berlin was another great crowd. I should’ve realized Kaiser would accept the open challenge, and even though Knight was going to retain no matter what, it was a good move. The fans got to cheer both guys one way or another, and it was a great showing for Kaiser. I almost thought Giovanni Vinci was going to accept the challenge, but no, he’s Italian. He’ll have his debut next week, as his newest promo reminded us, and he’ll surely start on a story towards the US Championship.
Good videos to recap things and hype Bash In Berlin, and we also got a good promo from Bianca & Jade to hype up the tag title match. Still not sure the win the belts back, even as great as they both are, but we’ll have to wait and see. Good promo from Solo, with the best detail being he told Jacob to wait with the ula fala. Solo most certainly will make his move for the title after Bash In Berlin on the way to Bad Blood. And great promo segment from Cody and Kevin to add some final heat to their title match. Kevin trying to use house shows as part of kayfabe is brilliant, and Cody brushing that off while subtly bringing up his connection to The Young Bucks and everything he did outside of WWE is also good, this is going to be a really good match just on story alone.
Very good tag match from #ACBC and #LosGarza, and I like that they are getting that latter team name going. The whole time Angel & Berto were on their on, this gimmick of theirs with the claw mark tattoo being from NXT, no idea why they didn’t have that name by now. Now, obviously Legado cheated to win, Crews & Corbin face a crisis of confidence, but then A-Town Down Under has to pile on. But with that promo, I do like Theory calling Waller on his trash talk and getting Theory in trouble. The dysfunction was smoothed over, but that’s just another sign they’re getting close to breaking up, just not sure what the last straw will be.
Awesome fourth match from Andrade and Melo, but I had a feeling Melo would win to make this a tied series. Maybe they make the fifth one the final, but they could easily make this an official best of seven, the final one appointing the winner as #1 contender to a title. That winner could even face LA Knight for the US Championship at Bad Blood. And then, a great Street Fight match for the WWE Women’s Championship. Good promo from Mia beforehand, I do like that they’re doing these to lead into important matches. But I figured Mia was going to lose this. For one, this parallels DIY losing despite having a walk ‘n’ talk promo, and also I just felt how Tiff was going to show up. She wants to cash in, Nia scares her into not doing it, and Nia retains.
Bayley being back is great, hopefully she can get some charisma going, she was a little subdued when she was champion. But she can feud with Tiffany on the side of Nia waiting on a new challenger, maybe she and Mia stick together, and you can even throw Chelsea Green & Piper Niven into the mix to build various stories at once. Maybe Piper finds her way to being a challenger for Nia, making it powerhouse VS powerhouse, and opening the window for Tiffany to try another cash-in.
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?

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
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?

Knight staggers, Cage SUPERKICKS him down! “Who betta than Cage?!” The fans fire up as Cage storms up on Knight, stands him up, and bumps him off buckles. 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.
Cage refreshes the ring count, drags Knight up again, and hits an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Knight writhes, Cage refreshes the count again, then he whips Knight into barriers! Knight practically falls into the laps of the front row! But Cage brings Knight around to CHOP him down! Cage soaks up the cheers and jeers before he brings Knight around again.

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!

Knight aims, MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
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. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges!

Ospreay fires body shots, Ace puts him in the corner, but Ospreay BOOTS him away! Ospreay is on the apron, he springboards back in, PIP PIP CHEERIO! 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!

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!
