PLAY BY PLAY
Cody Rhodes is here!
Tulsa, Oklahoma is fired up for The American Nightmare as he is STILL Undisputed WWE Champion! The fans sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and Cody gets his pyro. Cody high-fives fans and signs autographs. Cody then goes to the ring, “WHOA~ OH~!” and gets more pyro before he gets the mic. The fans cheer more, and Cody hears them out. Then he asks Tulsa, “Whadda we wanna talk about? I don’t want to delve into the past, I want to do something perhaps unexpected in this moment. As wonderful, as epic, as truly grand as SummerSlam was, all eyes are what’s on what happens next.
“This right here, if you play our game, is the North Star of the industry. It is the Undisputed WWE Championship.” The fans cheer that! Cody says he has been thinking about who he would like to defend his championship against, at Bash In Berlin! “This guy-” Solo Sikoa interrupts! The fans boo but Cody smiles through the disrespect as the man who would be Tribal Chief makes his way out here, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa flanking him. Solo has a mic to tell Cody that he’ll stop Cody right there. Solo doesn’t care what Cody wants to talk about, or what the people want to hear. “Shut your mouths, Tulsa!”
What Solo wants to talk about is SummerSlam. Solo says if not for a certain someone, SOLO would be champion! So before Cody says or does anything else, Cody WILL give Solo a rematch for the title. The fans boo but Cody says he didn’t wanna talk about the past. But if Solo wants to, then let’s talk about SummerSlam! The very SummerSlam where Solo could NOT get the job done on his own, and he even caused Jacob Fatu to get hurt! The same SummerSlam where he set Roman Reigns on a warpath because Solo is cosplaying as Tribal Chief! The same SummerSlam that Cody beat Solo right here in the damn center of the ring!
That means Solo absolutely, 100%, unequivocally DELUSIONAL if he thinks he has claim to a rematch! The fans fire up with that! Cody asks Solo what else does he want to talk about. The Bloodline storms up to the ring, but wait! In steps Kevin Owens, with chairs! The fans are thunderous as Cody & Kevin take swings! The Bloodline backs off, and Solo says he’ll deal with this later, after he finds Roman Reigns. Cody says he’ll be waiting for it! But then Cody has the music stop so he can talk with Kevin. He doesn’t wanna make this awkward, but he wants to talk with Kevin about something. Kevin steps back into the ring and the fans rally up.
Cody tells Kevin that he is sure this will be awkward, uncomfortable, and Kevin might even say no. But earlier, before Cody was interrupted, he was talking about who he’d like to face for the championship. So Kevin… Cody would like to face you. The fans fire up and Kevin has a mic to say as much as he appreciates that, he doesn’t deserve such a match. He doesn’t. Title matches needed to be earned, but Kevin hasn’t earned it. Look at his singles record lately. He appreciates the offer, but he’s not the guy. The fans rally for Kevin that “You Deserve It!” Cody knows Kevin can hear that. Cody feels Kevin does deserve it.
Cody hasn’t forgotten, the people haven’t forgotten, all the sacrifices Kevin has made. When Cody needed someone by his side, Kevin was in the trenches with him. Kevin is still The Prizefighter in the prime of his career, and he may be Cody’s close friend, but Cody is ready to talk with Nick Aldis and tell Aldis all the reasons Kevin should face Cody at Bash In Berlin! Cody is pretty sure Aldis will see what Cody sees, what all the fans see, and hopefully after that, the only thing left to say is, “I’ll see you at Bash In Berlin.” Kevin is humble but Cody wants to reward that, will we see these two battle for the gold in Germany?
WWE Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match Qualifier: A-Town Down Under VS The Street Profits w/ B-Fab!
Jacob Fatu’s injury does bring into question who even are the champions right now for The Bloodline. But with that in the background, the top teams of SmackDown are going to battle their way through a mini-tournament! Will Austin Theory & Grayson Waller be one step closer to getting those belts back? Or will Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins show they want the smoke?
SmackDown returns as Byron Saxton interviews The Profits at gorilla position. We know The Bloodline are the new tag team champions, and that Ford & Dawkins are eager to get- B-Fab stops him there. “Tez & Dawks are way more than eager. They’re motivated, determined, and on point.” Ford says Bloodline is shaking in their boots. Sure they won the titles, big congrats. But ever since the REAL Tribal Chief showed back up on the scene, those guys can’t get it together. So you better believe The Profits will take full advantage. Dawkins says it has been three YEARS, and they are back on the road to gold. A-Town Down Under just happens to be in the way.
B-Fab says The Profits are up, and #WeWantTheSmoke! The team makes their entrance, are they going to get fired up on that path back to the top?
The teams sort out and Dawkins starts against Theory. They circle, Waller grabs at Dawkins but Dawkins DECKS him for it! Theory CLUBS Dawkins, fires hands, and Waller gets up. The ref counts, Waller tags in at 4, and Theory sends Waller in to ELBOW Dawkins! Waller CLUBS Dawkins, tags Theory, and now Waller whips Theory, only for Theory to whip Waller at Ford! Waller slides to trip Ford and send him into barriers! But Dawkins DECKS Theory now! Dawkins fires hands in the corner and the fans fire up! Dawkins whips corner to corner, runs up and CYCLONE SPLASHES! Dawkins whisp again, but Theory dodges this time, and Dawkins POSTS himself!
Waller tags in, he mocks the fans with the drop steps. Waller runs, slides, and LARIATS Dawkins down! ATDU tell B-Fab to join their team, but Ford FLIES in! The fans fire up as Ford takes down both Theory and Waller! The Profits stand tall, the fans rally with “We Want The Smoke!” and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Dawkins reverses a whip. But Theory drop toeholds him into buckles! Then he goes to the apron, slingshots and somersaults, SHOTGUN DROPKICK! Theory says that’s all day! Waller tags in and Theory is a bit surprised, but Waller says to do a combo move. Theory fireman’s carries Dawkins, Waller goes up, but Dawkins slips free! Dawkins shoves Theory at Waller, Waller leaps over, but into a HAYAMKER! Dawkins then catches Theory for a FALL AWAY SLAM! The fans fire up while ATDU and Dawkins are all down! Dawkins crawls, hot tag to Ford! Ford goes up to CROSSBODY Waller!
Ford DECKS Theory, LARIATS Waller, and then dodges Waller to run and LARIAT! Theory is back up but Ford FLAPJACKS him! Waller back suplexes, Ford lands out! Ford hits a BIG back suplex, then kips right up! The fans are thunderous, and Ford flexes before the STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Waller stays in this but Ford goes up top! Ford aims, to FROM- NO, he has to bail out as Waller moves! Waller CLBOBERS Ford into the corner! Tag to Theory, DOUBLE ROLLING ELBOW!! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives that nasty sandwich but Theory stays on Ford. Theory suplexes Ford slips free and ELBOWS Theory!

The fans are thunderous again but Theory reaches for Ford! Ford GAMANGIRIS him away! Ford hurries in, but Theory fireman’s carries! Dawkins tags in, and Dawkins saves Ford from A-Town Down! Ford goes up as Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts Theory! BLOCKBUSTER DOOMSDAY!! Cover, Profits win!!
Winners: The Street Profits, by pinfall (advance to the #1 contenders match)
The fans are erupting for Ford & Dawkins because they got that smoke! They’re moving on to the next round, will they soon have those golden tickets to a title match?
Cody and Kevin talk with Aldis.
The champion wants the SmackDown General Manager to make the match but the Prizefighter keeps insisting someone else should get this shot. Cody says Randy Orton went over to Raw to get a World Heavyweight Championship match, how is this different? Kevin says it’s because Randy deserves it. Plus, the King of the Ring controversy. Kevin doesn’t feel he deserves it. Aldis says it is a moot point because he’s waiting to discuss a championship match with… Roman Reigns. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What? Aldis has to be kidding. He’ll give a match right to Roman?
Kevin says he’s man enough to know he doesn’t deserve this match, but Roman? Well, Roman was champion for 1,316 days. Kevin says it doesn’t matter how long he was champion! Four years, but so many times during those four years, Kevin had Roman beat! Cody had Roman beat! A LOT of people had Roman beat! But Roman always had someone watching his back. And Kevin gets it, a champion does whatever it takes to keep the title, but seriously? Rematch clauses haven’t been used in YEARS. Kevin sure never got his rematch, so why does Roman? Get the hell out of here with that.
Let’s talk about someone who deserves this match more than Roman Reigns. Go to the locker room, open the door, and just look inside! Aldis says no need, he sees a guy right here. Cody sees it, the fans see it, and now Aldis sees it. Bash In Berlin, Cody VS Kevin, it’s official. Kevin says he really will see Cody in Berlin. Seems Cody got what he wanted for Kevin after all, will these two tear it up for a huge Summer finale in Germany?
Tiffany Stratton talks with production.
She wants pink balloons, a pink carpet, and everything needs to be perfect for Queen Nia’s celebration next week. Y’know what? Let her handle it. She brings out her pink clipboard and writes down everything she just said. And then “Yes, Girl~!” Pretty Deadly walks in to say this party sounds so good. She’s got the pink and the pizazz, though Elton Prince would’ve gone with a fuchsia but that’s just him. Kit Wilson suggests that when Pretty Deadly wins the WWE Tag Team Championships, she can be their party planner, too. Oh, wait! Pretty Deadly the Musical! They’re casting, what is her vocal range?
Because they need like a Sabrina Carpenter meets One Direction. Tiff says she’s busy, gotta go. And here come Chelsea Green & Piper Niven. And The Hot Mess says, “Well aren’t you just the prettiest princess at the state fair.” So are these Tiff’s plans for Nia’s celebration? Because if the party is anything like Tiff’s abysmal outfit, she should let the classy ones take over. Doesn’t Chelsea have a ladder to fall off of? Uh, well, Nia doesn’t even like pink! If Tiff was really Nia’s friend, she’d know that. These two see through “Tacky Time” and know it is a ploy to get close to Nia and cash in! “Fibbany!” Oh my goodness, they really are right!
Chelsea really is arrogant, oblivious, and delusional! She can do it all! Tootles. Tiff flips her hair at Chelsea, and Piper helps her cool off. Mean Girls fighting Mean Girls, who will end up the Queen Bee of SmackDown when the dust settles?
Jade Cargill w/ Bianca Belair VS Alba Fyre w/ Isla Dawn!
After the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match last week was thrown out because of one Blair Davenport, The Storm is coming to wash away the Firekeeper in 1v1 action. Will the StrongEST Duo just have to take the long way back to the titles? Or will something wicked this way come once again?
SmackDown returns and the Unholy Union makes their entrance. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and Fyre kicks low! Jade just scowls as she circles with Fyre. Fyre gets around to waistlock, but Jade wrenches out and knuckle locks. Jade overpowers Fyre with just one hand, then gives her a Straight Arm Lever! But fyre slips free to sunset flip! Only for Jade to PUNCH her down! The fans fire up and Jade drags Fyre right up, to ROCK her again! Jade runs in at a corner, Fyre dodges! Fyre SUPERKICKS, but Jade still comes back! Fyre wrenches and TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO! Fyre rains down fists on Jade!
The fans rally, Jade fights up, but Fyre ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, for an IRON OCTOPUS! Jade endures but she drops to a knee! Isla reaches out but Bianca runs over there! Isla backs off, and Jade powers out to gut wrench SLAM! Fyre flounders to a corner, Jade runs up to ELBOW her! And then SUPERKICK! Jade chicken wings Fyre for JADED! Cover, Jade wins!
Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall
One champion down, and Bianca stands tall with Jade! Will nothing stop Jade & Bianca- WAIT! Blair jumps in again! She and Isla fire off on Bianca & Jade while the fans boo! Fyre gets up to help out, but here comes Naomi! Now things are even, and Naomi dodges Blair to DECK Isla! Naomi BOOTS Blair, and REARVIEW for Fyre! THESZ PRESS and fast hands for Blair! Fyre & Dawn drag Naomi up, but now Jade BOOTS Fyre! And Bianca pops Dawn up for a SPIENBUSTER! Naomi runs, DROPKICK for Blair! Blair flounders, Naomi LARIATS her up and out! Blair tumbles, Fyre & Dawn help her up!
The fans fire up as #TheBig3 are reunited, will they make sure this spooky trio does a lot more than just #FeelTheGlow?
LA Knight is here!
Tulsa is immediately fired up for the NEW WWE United States Champion and that new take on his theme song. The Mega Star is so fired up himself, he almost falls off the corner when he first hops up there. Knight then gets a mic, and after hearing the fans, he says, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” SummerSlam has come and gone, and with all the answers, one question still remains. They ask Knight, it had to feel extra sweet to beat Logan Paul in his hometown, right? “YEAH!” The fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Knight says who deserves it? Logan deserved getting stomped out and that’s what he got, YEAH! “YEAH!”
But Knight didn’t care about winning in Logan’s hometown. Knight only cares about that he stood over there (on stage) not too long ago, and he said they can call him what they want, but sooner or later, you will call him, “Champ.” And at long last, he has arrived! The fans cheer that! Knight says he is a FRESH United States Champ. Why? Because he makes it that way! So what’s that mean? He understands that this belt makes him a marked man. But understand something, he’s been that since he walked into SmackDown! All this means is the game is the same. SummerSLam, Knight hits it ‘n’ quits it, and on to the next.
And with the next, he’ll hit it ‘n’ quit it! And what’ll he do with the next one after that? Hit it ‘n’ quit it! Knight cannot stop his kevorka, he can’t stop being US Champion, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” But wait, here comes The Emperor of Lucha and his Legado Del Fantasma. Santos has a mic to tell Knight, “Congratulations. Felicidades. Hey, I mean it. I mean it!” The fans boo but Santos tells them they suck, and that Knight sucks! But seriously, truly, it’s not every day a guy like Knight finally gets his taste of gold. But let’s be honest, this whole “LA Knight as a champion” thing? Nah, Santos doesn’t buy it. Not a good fit.
Knight’s time in the spotlight will be good, but it will be a fleeting moment. His chase, his grind, his battle, and ultimately, his glory will be nothing but an opening act to Santos’ reign. You listen up to this: that’s not just the truth, but a fact of life! Because Santos is the one that deserves to be THE United States champion, with everybody saying, “ES-CO-BAR! SI!!” The fans boo Santos’ lame ripoff, and Knight says he wasn’t listening to a damn thing Santos said because Tulsa was saying Santos sucks. The fans cheer that!
But that word, “deserve.” What Santos deserves is getting the brakes beat off of him one more time! Santos has to be sick of getting that from Knight, but Knight will do it again if he has to. But if we’re talking about what everyone knows, from Knight to Santos to Tulsa, to get a shot at the title, Santos has to earn it. A certain someone will be out here in a minute, but if it’s that guy, Santos or someone on Santos’ goof squad, ain’t none of them are taking this title off Knight. Not because they’re not good enough, but because Knight won’t let ’em! With everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Mic drop from The Mega Star, and here comes El Idolo!
Andrade is just as hungry to get a championship back around his waist, and if he settles things with the leader of Legado, that’s just icing on the cake. Will this be Andrade’s time? Or will Santos earn one more shot at Knight? We find out, after the break.
Giovanni Vinci speaks.
In Italian, he tells us, “The best part about the past… is that it’s behind you. There are no losses, only lessons. Nobody should think success is a given, but I know it is my destiny. I have become the man I was always meant to be. A Man who knows no limits and accepts no shortcuts. Skiing the Italian Alps, or speeding on the track, I do it with style. Soon, I will bring that same relentless drive to SmackDown. Veni, Vidi, Vinci!” When and where will The Pride of Italy make his return?

WWE mourns the loss of Kevin Sullivan.
An innovative mind who helped shape the landscape of pro-wrestling, Kevin burst onto the scene in the 1970s and never looked back. Tough and stout from the bad streets of Boston, his “dark and manic behavior” made him into a sinister presence, and a “Taskmaster” for the business that he loved. A major villain to some of the greatest heroes, such as Sting, The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes, and even Hulk Hogan, he was also a creative mind behind the scenes, remembered for his innovation, dedication, and profound love for the industry. He was a man ahead of his time, a great friend, and a loving family man. His passion for the craft and his impact on those around him will never be forgotten.
DIY walk ‘n’ talk.
Tommaso Ciampa says he and Johnny Gargano knew coming to SmackDown meant walking into Bloodline territory, Bloodline Rules. They seem to run things a little differently around here. And last week in Cleveland, they stole those tag team titles. Johnny Wrestling lost in his hometown, in front of his family and his two-year-old son, and that is something they will never forget. So they are going to show they will do whatever it takes to get back their WWE Tag Team Championships. That starts with Pretty Deadly. This isn’t a musical, this is Day One of the DIY Redemption Story! Tulsa, it’s game time!
A-Town Down Under visits Aldis’ office.
Waller calls to “Nichoals~” as he and Theory step in. Did Aldis have a good time at SummerSlam? Because THEY didn’t! They get attacked by Jelly Roll for absolutely no reason, then Aldis sends them to Monday Night Raw to save that show but also work on their day off, and then they had to qualify for a tag title match? That’s ridiculous! Apparently, if you complain in here, you get whatever you want, so that’s what they’ll do. Theory says that seems to be how simple it is around here. Like, you just ask for Waller VS Kevin Owens, and it happens. Whoa, wait, who and Kevin Owens?
Aldis stands up and says that’s a great idea! Thanks, Theory! Next week, Waller VS Kevin, 1v1! Waller asks what Theory was doing. Theory says trust him, he’s got Waller’s back like Waller has his. Right, yeah, of course. Kevin, what a ridiculous idea, Nick- Wait, where’d he go? Waller is left alone, but will Theory really help him bring down The Prizefighter?

Pretty Deadly want a musical but Ciampa & Gargano got a revival! They’re coming for those titles, but will they make it through The Profits to get there?
Solo Sikoa is at gorilla position.
Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa report in. They’ve been waiting all night on Roman Reigns, but he’s still not here. Solo says don’t worry, Roman will be here. The Bloodline goes to the ring, because they’re going to wait on THE Tribal Chief. However, Solo still wears the red ula fala, so clearly he still questions Roman’s right to the throne. Solo, Tama & Loa raise up the ones, as well as both tag team titles, and if Roman is still to appear, we’ll see him appear, after the break.
SmackDown returns once more as Solo has the mic. He tells Tulsa, Oklahoma, “ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans boo, there’s some censoring going on, and fans also chant, “WE WANT ROMAN!” Solo tells Roman Reigns, “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m the Tribal Chief now.” The fans boo that in disagreement. But Solo says if Roman calls himself The Tribal Chief and he wants the ula fala back, then come take it from Solo! The fans are rowdy as Solo waits, and yes! Here comes THE Head of the Table, the ONE TRUE CHIEF, Roman… Reigns! Tulsa is electric as Roman stands on stage, and the pyro is unleashed!
Roman stares down Solo, Tama & Loa, and then he steps forward. Solo tells his men to step up, so Tama runs up, to get a LARIAT! Roman beats Tama down but Loa rushes in! Roman RAMS Loa into steel steps! The fans are thunderous as Roman pulls the steps apart, to JAM Loa up! And then SLAMS the steps on Tama! The fans are losing their minds for the “O T C! O T C!” Now Roman only has Solo left to deal with. Roman steps up to the apron, and Solo takes off his suit jacket. Chief stares down chief and the fans are thunderous! Roman runs up, and he fires hands on Solo! The fans are electric but Solo BOOTS Roman!
Solo runs, into a SUPERMAN PUNCH!! The fans are erupting as Roman aims from a corner! All together, “OOOAH~!!” But Loa & Tama get Solo outta there! But Solo forgot the ula fala! Roman steps over to it, picks it up, and the fans are electric again, until Tama & Loa CLOBBER Roman! They beat Roman down, and Tama hurries to get the ula fala back to Solo. Loa RAMS Roman into the corner again and again, and then Tama hypes him up. Loa runs, into a SUPERMAN PUNCH! SUPERMAN PUNCH for Tama! Roman glares at Solo, reloads in the corner, “OOOAH~!!” SPEAR for Loa!!
The fans are thunderous all over again as Roman stands tall. Roman steps outside, and he grins as he sees another target. “OOOAH~!” and Roman runs in, to SPEAR Tama through barriers!! The fans are going nuts, Roman grabs a chair, and he brings it back to Loa! To SMACK him on the back! And again! And again! And again! Solo watches as Roman tees off on Loa! Solo taunts Roman with the ula fala because that is what Roman wants! Roman JAMS the chair into Loa again and again and again! Solo still insists HE is the chief, but he’s without his henchmen. There can only be one, and will THE one be none other than Roman Reigns?
My Thoughts:
A great follow-up episode to SummerSlam here, and Tulsa was definitely the right crowd for it. Tulsa was pretty much red hot from start to finish, especially for Roman’s return. Really good opening segment from Cody to give Bloodline an excuse to be out there, which was then an excuse for Kevin Owens to be out there. It’s fitting that while Randy is going for the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw, Kevin gets a match with Cody for the Undisputed WWE Championship. And I do appreciate that Roman Reigns was used as the way to goad Kevin into accepting this opportunity. With the match made, I feel there is a strong possibility Kevin turns Heel through feelings of being undeserving, yet also his desire to become champion again.
And Solo Sikoa of course called out Roman tonight. Roman put himself on a new power level as he soloed Solo & The Guerillas of Destiny. We’ve still got a ways to go before Survivor Series WarGames 2024 and what is most likely Bloodline Civil War, but Solo’s Bloodline will certainly have split focus because of the tag titles. We got great tag team matches to head towards a contenders match, but quite the surprising move to have both Face teams win out. ATDU complaining to Aldis and being self-aware that complaining gets stuff was a good promo, and I feel like maybe, just maybe, Theory is setting Waller up and we’re closer to the ATDU break-up.
DIY has another solid walk ‘n’ talk promo, a great main event with Pretty Deadly, and now that we’re getting DIY VS Profits, that is very intriguing. Now, we saw Loa holding onto the tag title in Jacob Fatu’s place, so maybe The Bloodline is going to play some kind of Freebird Rules here? That’d make sense on some level, and honestly, we do need Guerillas of Destiny VS DIY and Guerillas of Destiny VS Street Profits to happen. Also, may I say that as logical as it was for Kevin and Randy to help Cody at SummerSlam, the way DIY was talking tonight, why couldn’t DIY have gotten involved? They have beef with Bloodline, they want the tag titles, they could’ve been a nice surprise for “Team Cody” that night.
That same logic is clearly going on in the other title stories on SmackDown. Jade of course beat Fyre in quick fashion, but of course Blair rushed out there to help Fyre & Dawn beat up Jade & Bianca, and then Naomi rushed out there to help Jade & Bianca. As we’ve been seeing on both Raw and SmackDown, the Women’s Division is forming up factions, we’ll definitely get a Six Woman Tag over here to parallel the Six Woman Tag building on Raw. And after a great promo from Knight with Santos, we got an awesome match of Andrade VS Santos. Good of Corbin & Crews to clear out Angel & Berto, but also it made sense for Melo to screw Andrade over. We’ll definitely get more out of all those match-ups, and Knight VS Santos will be a great first defense for Knight.
And while I was sure some sort of championship celebration was advertised for tonight, it seems they’ll worry about it next week. That gave Tiff a good promo to have with Pretty Deadly but also Chelsea & Piper. Between these interactions and Tiff being aimed at the title thanks to the MITB briefcase, it feels like Tiff could end up a Face (or essentially a Tweener) and take that title at some big event and the fans would be more than accepting of it. But maybe we get a tag match of Nia & Tiff VS Chelsea & Piper first, that feels like a really good match.
My Score: 8.7/10

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?

Cage THROWS Knight away!
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. Cage SMACKS Knight off the apron, then puts him in the ring. Cage storms into the ring, drags Knight by his legs, and ties the legs up into a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Knight endures as Cage sits deep! Knight powers up, fights his way forward, and he reaches to the ROPEBREAK!
The ref counts, Cage lets go at 4, but Cage brings Knight up. Knight CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Cage still doesn’t back down. Knight fires more shots, but Cage UPPERCUTS him down!

Cage slingshots Knight into a facelock, for a SPIRALING SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!
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!
Cage runs up, Knight dodges, and Knight runs back in. Knight ducks ‘n ‘dodges, FLAPJACK DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Cage bails out! Knight builds speed and FLIES! Cage catches him?!?

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! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!
Ace clutches his arm as Ospreay shows his training already. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then whips Ace. Ace reverses, he blocks a boot, but not the AX KICK! Ospreay headlocks, Ace powers up and out, but Ospreay RUNS him over! Things keep moving, Ace drop toeholds to ENZIGIRI! And basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Ace facelocks Ospreay, turns him, NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Ospreay ROCKS Ace, ROCKS him again, and again! Ace trips Ospreay, hooks up the legs, and he turns Ospreay over to tie the legs up!

The fans cheer while Ace lets go. Ospreay checks his neck but he is alright to continue. Ace drags Ospreay up, reels him in, but Ospreay wrenches out to SOBAT! Ospreay whips, Ace reverses, but Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RAN- NO! Ace blocks to swing Ospreay up into a fireman’s carry! Ace does a squat for the DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Ace flexes, covers, TWO! Ospreay stay sin this while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ospreay goes to a corner, Ace CHOPS him, then reels Ospreay in for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Ospreay toughs it out but Ace drags him around.

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!

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!
