Swerve blocks being stabbed by the charcoal spike! Hangman powers Swerve down to the mat, but Swerve pulls him into an ARMBAR!! Hangman flails, kicks, and Swerve grabs the spike! Now Swerve tries to stab Hangman with it!! Hangman turns, has a stack, TWO!! Both men get up, and Hangman swings! Swerve gets around, to JAM the spike into Hangman’s head again and again!!
The fans tell Swerve he is sick, and Swerve sits there for a moment, looking at the charcoal spike. Swerve cries tears, but of anger! He goes after Hangman again, but Hangman LOW BLOWS first!! Hangman then brings Swerve around, lifts him up, and he CINDERBLOCK BOMBS Swerve!!! The block still does not break, but now maybe Swerve’s back just did! The fans lose their minds as Hangman pushes Swerve to a cover, TWO?!?!?!? HOW?!?! Nana himself is now pleading that maybe Swerve should’ve stayed down. Hangman paces around Swerve, he drags Swerve up, and it’s hard to know if fans say “This is Awesome!” or “This is F’d up!”
Hangman has Swerve against ropes, climbs up, and he punches away on Swerve’s bloody forehead. But then Swerve lifts Hangman! CAGE BOMB! Hangman scrapes down the steel, and Swerve reloads. HOUSE CALL against steel! Hangman flounders, Swerve reloads again. Nana says Swerve can take his time, he has this now! Swerve again asks, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” HOUSE CALL!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?!?! It’s not even “How,” it’s WHY!?!? Why is Hangman still in this?! Is this his pride or his anger motivating him? Swerve goes up to the top rope, but then he looks up to the cage. So Swerve climbs up the cage!
The fans are going nuts already, but Hangman is after him first! Hangman CLUBS away on Swerve, drags him down a bit, and then gets under him! SUPER DUPER POWERBOMB!!!! Both men are down, but then they both rise up!?! The fans duel as hard as they can, and it is Hangman that stands! He Alabama Lifts, to DEADEYE!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?! Again, how and why!? Is Swerve just as motivated by his rage? Hangman paces around, and he grabs a chair. Hangman says he told Swerve that he would beg, so BEG! Hangman JAMS Swerve in the head!! Hangman tells Swerve to beg for mercy, but Nana says don’t!
Hangman JAMS Swerve again! Swerve laughs!? Hangman is furious, but the fans fire up! Swerve eggs Hangman on! Then he flops over…! Hangman drops his chair, sits Swerve up, and says time to embarrass him! Hangman takes Swerve’s grill away! Then he goes to the black bag, to bring out hypodermic needles!? What is Hangman doing?!? He stabs it through Swerve’s cheek!!!! The fans tell Hangman he is sickest of all, but Hangman has the chair. Swerve is like a zombie, HEADSHOT CHAIRSHOT!!!! The ref checks Swerve, he is OUT!! Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by knockout
This went to dark places most people could never imagine, and it is Hangman who stands tall in the end. Hangman soaks up the cheers and jeers from Chicago, but is he finally done with Swerve? Will Swerve ever even be able to wrestle again? Wait, Hangman almost starts stepping back to the ring! But then whatever miniscule shred of mercy is left in him says no, leave it here. Hangman roars, having finally gotten past his past. But then the question is, what is next for The Cowboy?
My Thoughts:
This was an awesome All Out, though it’ll surely have a lot of debate over that Lights Out main event. Yes, they needed to escalate from their already brutal Texas Deathmatch, but I don’t think commentary even needed to sell their horror and disappointment at how violent this cage match got. For me, the staple gun was par for the course, and I was wondering if they’d bring the cinderblock back. That thing didn’t wanna sell for anyone, though, and there’s already word that it might’ve been a legit cinderblock, not a gimmicked one. If that is true, that is a deciding factor for me personally. Y’all can’t be doing stuff you know isn’t stunt safe. Before, it’s a question of whether anyone understood the physics of falling from something, but this is going into it knowing you’re gonna mess yourself up.
Moving away from that, Zero Hour was fun, but also a lot of filler. Acclaimed being thrown together with Iron Savages just to get a win, then a couple “Just for fun” trios matches. Team Texas of course beats The Premier Athletes, and that actually feels like a waste of the moment they gave us last night with Premier Athletes watching. Bang Bang Gang also just face a team to get a win back, and then I’m actually a little surprised The Kingdom won the big money. The amount has yet to be given, so maybe Tony Khan trolls The Kingdom by revealing it’s a bunk amount. But it mostly gives Roddy momentum going into his FTW Championship with Hook.
But something that was good story, that was “must see,” was Mariah May being mean to now Face Skye Blue. Skye is still recovering from her legit ankle injury, but Aminata is going to fight in her honor now. Mariah VS Aminata will be a very good story, very good match, but I feel like it’ll be another clear win for Mariah so she can strengthen her reign. Still hoping we get some interaction with Mina Shirakawa, that story needs to happen given Mina’s involvement in the Storm VS Mariah story.
MJF VS Garcia was a surprising choice for opener, but it turned out to be an awesome choice. They definitely leaned into each guy wanting to use a piledriver or related moves, to where it was Garcia’s obsession and is perhaps why he lost. MJF getting a quick pin win was a clever finish since it wasn’t violent or definitive, and I could just tell looking at Garcia after the bell rang that he’d go after MJF. In retrospect, that was setting the tone for other parts of the night. We got a great Chicago Street Fight from Willow VS Kris, and for them bringing out what they did, that still ends up second to the Lights Out Cage Match. Kris was of course winning since this wasn’t the title match anymore, but I do want Kris to come back for more, wanting that title match, and they still do it up big for the Dynamite Anniversary show.
Great International Championship match with Ospreay VS Pac, a real show stealer right here, and certainly a revisit to a part of Ospreay’s NJPW career that I used to call “RIP Ospreay’s Neck.” That had more Poison-Ranas than any match I can think of, and Ospreay still wins out. Also, great little bit with Ricochet where they taunt each other and of course plug that coming title match. Ricochet definitely needs matches for Dynamite and maybe even Collision to get him going again, and we can get Ospreay VS Ricochet in time for either the Dynamite Anniversary or WrestleDream. I feel like the PPV is better, it gives just a touch more time for them to build this. In fact, Ricochet winning a match on the anniversary show to earn his shot at WrestleDream would be good stuff.
Great Fatal 4 Way Continental Championship match, so much fun with all the combos, but it is as I said, Okada wins but not with Konosuke taking the loss, we can get Okada VS Konosuke in the next stretch. And that will be a lot of fun, too, as they can certainly play up the competitive history of NJPW and DDT-Pro. Okada was perhaps the biggest name in the biggest Japanese promotion, Konosuke was one of the biggest names in a company that overall is a lot goofier, but now Konosuke is showing the world what he can really do. Great match from Mone and Shida, but I figured Mone was retaining because of some other cheat. It wasn’t really Mone cheating, but she did get Shida to think about the kendo stick, and that conflict left her open.
And great stuff with The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club. Great tag title match from Bucks VS Claudio & Yuta, and just as I figured, Bucks retained. They needed their match to be here and now so all parts could rest before Bryan VS Jack. Bryan VS Jack was awesome stuff, Jack’s best singles match to date, and commentary was saying it for themselves, Jack became a more complete wrestler with his time away from AEW and in NJPW, like a reverse excursion or something. But as I was saying all week, Bryan was retaining because he’s not done yet, and Jack isn’t ready for a dual championship role.
However, what a really shocking series of events after. I should’ve known Christian Cage would attempt a cash-in, but a great move where BCC stands in his way. But then between Bryan’s big smile and all the stuff Moxley & Marina have been doing, there was a turn coming. I just didn’t think Claudio AND Pac would be onboard for it, while leaving Yuta out in the cold. I mean, I suppose Bryan needs one ally left if this remixed BCC is coming after him and the title, but wow. It’s a bit of a mess, though, since Pac, Claudio & Yuta are still Trios Champions together. And also, another controversial move using a plastic bag to “suffocate” Bryan, but wrestling historians probably recognized the Terry Funk VS Ric Flair reference. Still messed up, but this certainly implies Moxley VS Bryan going towards WrestleDream so that Bryan has an epic homecoming to Washington state.
My Score: 9.1/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.
“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”
The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!
The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.
Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.
At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.
So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!
The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.
On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”
The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?
The Death Riders arrive.
Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?
Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!
The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT! They fire forearms back and forth, Gabe fires haymakers, but Briscoe gives those back! The fans fire up, Briscoe CHOPS, but Gabe CHOPS! The CHOPS keep going, then Gabe ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe fires back with a flurry, but Gabe RAMS him into the corner! Speedball & Willow rush in, Moxley & Marina intercept, and the fans fire up as there’s brawling all over the place! Moxley DECKS Bailey, Marina KNEES away on Willow then TOSESS her! Moxley keeps after Bailey but Bailey hits back.
Marina and Willow keep fighting on the outside while Bailey KICKS Moxley against barriers. JUMP KICK! Willow digs her boot into Marina’s face! Gabe talks trash, but fans count along as Bailey rains down TEN punches on Moxley! Gabe whips Mark, Mark goes up and out to ROCK Gabe, RAM low, and then HOTSHOT! Gabe tumbles out to the floor, Briscoe is back in, and Bailey hands him a chair! The fans fire up as the chair is set up, and Briscoe shouts out to Sabu! TRIPLE JUMP DIVE onto the Death Riders! The fans fire up and Briscoe high fives the front row while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Briscoe high fives with Bailey and Willow, then goes back for Gabe. Briscoe CLAWS Gabe’s face, the ref sorts everyone else out, but Bailey sends Moxley into railing! Briscoe BITES Gabe on the forehead, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe flounders into the ring and Briscoe follows. Briscoe stands Gabe up to ROCK him with a right, and then he stomps Gabe into the corner. The ref counts, Briscoe steps off at 4, then he drags Gabe up. Briscoe tags Willow, they double whip Gabe and DOUBLE HIP TOSS! Willow flexes, then tags Bailey. Bailey & Briscoe double whip and they TRIPLE BOOT Gable! Cover, TWO!
Bailey stays on Gabe, brings him over, and he tags Briscoe. Briscoe UPPERCUTS Gabe, then CHOPS! Briscoe whips, Gabe reverses, and Moxley gets a cheap shot in! Gabe clinches for an EXPLODER! Tag to Moxley and he storms up on Briscoe. Moxley drags Briscoe over to then stomp him in the corner. Moxley soaks up heat, but that just lets Marina CHOKE Briscoe in the distraction! Gabe adds on, too! Moxley goes back to Briscoe, digs his boots in, but stops as the ref counts. Briscoe sputters, but Moxley taunts Bailey & Willow. Moxley drags Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires forearms! Dynamite returns to single picture and Moxley kicks Briscoe low!
Moxley scoops Briscoe to SLAM him! Moxley runs to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Moxley drags Briscoe up, wrenches, then tags Marina. They mug Briscoe with KICK after KICK, then Marina tags Gabe.

Willow and Marina both step in and Willow dodges a boot to fire forearms! Marina shoves Willow, KICKS, then whips, Willow reverses to CHOP! And LARIAT! And LARIAT again! And again!
The fans fire up as Willow back body blocks in the corner, LARIATS, then snapmares for a BOOT! The fans fire up more as Willow whips and SPINEBUSTERS! Cover, but Gabe drags Willow up by her hair!

Marina drags Willow down and CHOPS away on her! Moxley CLOBBERS Briscoe, and Gabe soaks up the heat. Moxley TOSSES Briscoe over barriers! The Death Riders soak up more heat while Briscoe drags himself back over barriers and Bailey drags himself from the wreckage. Moxley and Gabe both taunt the fans while the ring count climbs. Bailey is still down past 5 of 10, but he flounders and makes his way up. Bailey is in at 9! Moxley is furious and shouts at the fans. Moxley drags Bailey up, reels him in, and soaks up heat as he suplexes, for the X PLEX! Tag to Gabe and he talks trash while Dynamite goes to break.

Gabe drags Bailey up, we see Kris Statlander watching this, and Bailey BACKDROPS Gabe! Gabe tries to sunset flip it, but Bailey stays up! Bailey breaks Gabe’s grip to MOONSAULT KNEE DROP! The fans fire up while both Gabe and Bailey crawl! Hot tag to Briscoe! Briscoe dodges Moxley, ROCKS Gabe, then CHOPS Moxley! Briscoe fires off on them both, but Moxley waistlocks. Briscoe BOOTS Gabe, PELES Moxley, then clinches Gabe. Gabe fights free and reels Briscoe in.
Briscoe fights Gabe’s lift, but Gabe CHOPS him on the back! Briscoe SLAPS Gabe in the face! Briscoe fires forearms, but Gabe BITES Briscoe’s forehead! The fans boo, but Gabe spits at them! Gabe CHOPS and HEADBUTTS on repeat! Gabe goes corner to corner, but Briscoe dodges! EXPLODER! The fans fire up as Gabe tumbles out, and Briscoe WRECKS him with a dropkick! Briscoe then CANNONBALLS onto Moxley! Willow CANNONBALLS Marina! Bailey is back and he TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Bailey takes out Gabe and Moxley! Briscoe goes up as Bailey puts Gabe in. Marina is up and she goes for Briscoe!
Yuta distracts the ref, but Bailey BOOTS him down! Willow BOOTS Marina, too! Briscoe hits the FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, TWO!?! Gabe survives and the fans are stunned, but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe reels Gabe in, underhooks, but Gabe fights the lift! Claudio runs up, but then backs off as Briscoe storms up. Wait, here comes Komander! Komander tightrope walks to ESCALARA!

Winners: Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd & Marina Shafir, by submission
The Swiss Terminator and Decoder once again do their part to tip the scales, and Moxley just riles up the fans more. Will nothing stop this reign of terror?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!
This Saturday, May 31st, Collision will air coast to coast on TNT at 8 PM Eastern, OR immediately following NBA Playoffs Game 6, but you can always stream on HBO Max!
The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.
“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?
Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?
Ricochet speaks.
The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.
“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”
No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win? Perhaps the Megasus & Superbad Girl don’t want to admit they got outsmarted by the Queenslayer & Wild Aussie. But now there will be no excuses because there is no such thing as cheating in a No Disqualifications match! Will Anna & Harley be the stars of the show after going all out? Or will they be made to #BowDown?
Megan & Ford come prepared with a trash can, its lid, and a golden steel chair! But Anna & Harley are ready to ride as a couple cowgirls armed with two-by-four and steel pipe! The fans fire up as they rush the ring, and while Ford grabs at the wood, Anna trips her up! Harley slides in but Megan BOOTS her down! The bell rings and this essentially Texas Tornado gets spinning! Megan SLAMS Harley down, Anna sends Ford into railing, and Anna brings out chairs! Megan CHOPS Harley, RAMS her in the corner again and again, and grabs one of those chairs. Ford ROCKS Anna, Megan wedges a chair into the corner, and Ford CHOPS Anna.
El Paso wants tables but Ford whips Anna into railing! Anna falls, Megan sits Harley up in the corner, and Megan runs up, only for Harley to move! Megan’s CANNONBALL hits the chair! Harley & Anna mug Ford, then DDT her on the trash can lid! The fans fire up, Harley covers, but Megan breaks it! Megan stalks Harley, but Anna has her wood! Anna SMACKS Megan, but Megan doesn’t even flinch. Megan stares Anna down, the fans tell Anna she messed up, but Harley has her pipe! Harley CLUBS Megan and that was certainly felt! Anna grabs a chair and she SMACKS Megan! Harley PIPES Megan, Anna SMACKS Megan, repeat!
The fans fire up as Megan is just a giant pinball between those brutal flippers, but she gets pissed! Megan dodges H&A to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up as Megan then goes for her golden chair! Megan sits it up at center, drags Harley up, and she reels her in! But Harley slips out of the suplex! Harley drop toeholds Megan on the chair, Anna SHOTGUNS Megan down!

Mercedes Mone arrives in a low rider.
The CEO is once again #FourBeltsMone as she holds up her Queen of Harts title, even as her driver parks the convertible. The AEW TBS Champion struts in as a rhinestone cowgirl, ready to meet the AEW Women’s World Champion face to face, but will they keep it civil? Or will there be a shootout in El Paso?
Six Man Tag: The Opps VS The Frat House!
Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs were part of the winning Team AEW at Anarchy in the Arena. But now, they focus on being AEW World Trios Champions. Will they be ready to go all in this summer? OR will Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Jacked Jameson, and even their El Paso “Pledges” be toasting a huge victory?
Jameson has a mic, and he tries to get the fans to join in on “FRAT~ HOUSE~!” They boo instead. Jameson says okay, last night, here in El Paso, him and the boys at Shifty’s Dive, throwing one of their world famous pledge parties. They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong! The fans cheer that! Jameson says that doesn’t make sense, all the guys are weak and skinny and all the girls are fat and ugly. The fans boo again. Jameson says needless to say, they didn’t find a new member.
But hey, that’s okay, they are not leaving emptyhanded. They’re walking out tonight the NEW Trios Champions! Uh, the belts aren’t on the line…? But Preston Vance says, “Win or lose, we BOOOOOOOOOZE~!” Vance gets in Joe’s face with that, and Joe HEADBUTTS him down! Shibata and Hobbs go after Karter & Garrison on the outside while Jameson and the Pledges scramble. The bell rings, Joe JABS away on Vance in the corner! The fans fire up as Joe just fires off!

Griff CHOPS again, Shibata CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans fire up as Griff fires a forearm but Shibata fires back! Shibata eggs Griff on as Griff fires more shots, only for Shibata to DECK him! Shibata runs corner to corner and HYDRAULIC DROPKICKS!
Shibata drags Griff up, HALF HATCH, then cover, TWO! Griff stays in this but now Shibata tags Hobbs. Griff scrambles away to tag in Karter, but the Diamond in the Rough doesn’t know what he got into. Karter fires hands but Hobbs just takes them! Hobbs TOSSES Karter to the corner, fires hands, then whips corner to corner. LARIAT in the corner! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Hobbs fires more LARIATS into Karter! Hobbs reels Karter in for the short arm LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Hobbs DECKS Griff off the apron, but Vance BLATSS Shibata and Joe!
Joe runs in, Vance runs away, and the ref is distracted, so Jameson slips in with that frat paddle! Jameson SMACKS Hobbs! Hobbs just gets mad! Hobbs LARIATS Jameson up and out! A Pledge is sent in!? Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Another Pledge tries, but he gets a SPIENBUSTER! The third Pledge tries, he gets a SPINEBUSTER! Vance has the paddle! The ref stops Vance, and Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Karter climbs up the corner, almost slips, but he still leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Opps win!
Winners: The Opps, by pinfall
That was town bidness times ten! Will the Frat House study up next time? Will The Opps continue to prove they are #NeverLacking?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
Renee welcomes out the woman who fought her heart out at Double or Nothing, Jamie Hayter! The fans cheer as Hayter heads to the ring, clearly bummed she is NOT the 2025 Queen of Harts. Renee brings up that unfortunately, Hayter could not overcome Mone in the finals. And she knows Hayter was worried about what her future in AEW would look like without that win. Has Hayter had time to think about what’s next? Hayter tells Renee, that is the question. But then the lights go out!? Oh no, could it be…? The lights come back up and it is THEKLA! The Toxic Spider is in AEW, and she’s right on Hayter!
Thekla DECKS Hayter, then stands over her! Thekla stares into the camera, then spider-walks over! Will the “Idol Killer” tear down all those that came before her in order to be THE woman in AEW?
AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!
The Paragon could not stop the Don Callis Family on Sunday, and now the Panama City Playboy is the Protostar’s next target! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mar and take this title home for the family? Or will it still be all about the BOOM?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!
Callis is on commentary to say the fans love Cole because he’s just like the fans: he lives on hopes and dreams. Callis says you can’t take hopes to the bank, but you can bank on Fletcher! The bell rings and the fans rally up as Cole and Fletcher stare down. Cole and Fletcher circle, feel things out, and tie up. Fletcher puts Cole in a corner, lets off slowly, then rolls back to mock the “Adam Cole Baybay!” Cole and Kyle circle, tie up, and Cole waistlocks. Fletcher pries free, switches, then he SLAMS Cole down! The fans are torn but Fletcher flexes on Cole. Cole and Fletcher reset, circle, and tie up. Cole headlocks, Kyle fights the takeover, and Kyle powers out.
Kyle RUNS Cole over, smirks, and then goes back for Cole. Kyle slips, Cole slips free, and Cole fires forearms! Kyle scoops but Cole fights free again! Kyle kicks low, CLUBS Cole on the back, but Cole PELES! The fans fire up and Kyle staggers around! Cole storms up to fire hands and he puts Kyle in a corner. Cole stomps a mudhole into Kyle, steps off as the ref counts, and he gives a proper “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans cheer, Cole whips corner to corner, but Kyle reverses. Kyle runs up but Cole puts him on the apron, and SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Kyle. Cole goes to the apron and takes aim, only for PRG Vice to step up!
The fans boo as Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta stand in Cole’s way, but Callis says this is strength in numbers. Well speaking of, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly rush out here! Paragon brawls with RPG Vice and head to the back! The fans fire up, Cole goes to fetch Fletcher, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS Cole down! Kyle drags Cole up, reels him in, and APRON POWERBOMBS!! That was a lot more Cole’s head and neck then his back, and while the ref checks Cole, Callis mockingly says he’s gonna check on Kyle while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Fletcher flexes more while he soaks up heat, and Callis really does walk over to talk with him. Kyle steps into the ring and somehow Cole is okay to continue, so a ring count starts. Cole stirs at about 3 of 10, Callis & Kyle soak up more heat, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Cole at about 7. Kyle drags Cole into the ring, then stomps him down! Kyle stomps Cole more, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Cole down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Then he CHOKES Cole on the ropes! The ref counts, Kyle steps off, and Cole goes to a corner. Kyle soaks up heat, distracts the ref, and that lets Callis CHOKE Cole!
Callis scurries back to commentary before he’s caught, and Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires body shots but Kyle eggs him on. Cole fires more shots, but Kyle BOOTS him down! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat, and he checks if that’s for him or for Cole. It is for Kyle, so Kyle scoops Cole and SLAMS him! Kyle paces more while Cole writhes. Cole sits up but Kyle is on him with another scoop and SLAM! Kyle leans on the ropes while he soaks up more heat, then he goes back to Cole. Kyle rains down fists, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Cole down. Cole endures and fights up while Dynamite returns to single picture.
The fans rally as Cole fires body shots, only for Kyle to scoop and SLAM again! Kyle twists Cole’s wrist, scoops and SLAMS again, then eggs everyone on. The fans boo but Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires forearms! The fans rally, but Kyle scoops and spins to SLAM! Callis says the reason Cole was outside to be hit with that apron powerbomb is because he went after Kyle outside the ring. Callis says Cole only has himself to blame. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Cole SUPERKICKS! Callis is eating his words the way Kyle ate that foot! The fans are thunderous as Cole rises up! Cole storms up to fire forearm after forearm!
Kyle shoves Cole but Cole LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And BOOTS! Kyle staggers around, Cole brings him over, but Kyle fights the fireman’s carry! Kyle runs, but Cole BOOTS him! Kyle rebounds into the fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but the fans rally behind Cole. Cole rises up, goes to the corner, and he climbs up to aim again. Kyle stands into the PANAMA- NO, Kyle BACKDROPS then sits down on a cover, TWO!! Cole escapes, Kyle blocks his kick, and Kyle spins Cole for a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cole flounders, Kyle runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! And then Kyle reels Cole in, but Cole suplexes, GHOST BUSTER!!
Cole fires up, rises up, and the fans are with him! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! Kyle sputters, Cole brings down the kneepad, and Callis freaks out! But JOSH ALEXANDER is here, and he just CLOBBERS Cole!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by disqualification (still AEW TNT Champion)
Callis laughs as the Don Callis Family’s Walking Weapon beats Cole down! But Kyle doesn’t get to be TNT Champion, what good was this? Alexander BITES Cole, Callis says break Cole! Kyle & Alexander mug Cole while the fans boo and cuss Callis out! But wait! Here comes Brody King! The King of Death ahs a chair, and he runs Alexander & Kyle off! This match was to be the main event, but it might as well happen now! Will Brody bulldoze through Alexander to head for Fyter Fest? Or will the Don Callis Family still secure something good for the Summer?
AEW International Championship Qualifier: Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family VS Brody King!
Dynamite returns, security standing between the Walking Weapon and King of Death, but they won’t wait any longer! Security is literally thrown aside and the bell rings! The brawl is on and the fans love it! Brody KNEES Alexander, ROCKS him, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS him! And ROCKS him! And repeat! Brody ROCKS and CHOPS, stands Alexander up and whips corner to corner. Brody runs up, Alexander BOOTS him then goes up, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Alexander dusts himself off, stomps Brody around, then rips the shirt away to CHOKE Brody with it! The ref counts, Alexander stops at 4 and taunts Brody by flossing with the shirt, and we don’t mean teeth.
Alexander offers the shirt to fans, but then drops it on the floor. Alexander whips, Brody reverses and BACKDROPS! The fans fire up as Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler ever. Brody gets his shirt back, and he stuffs it in Alexander’s mouth! The fans cheer but Callis says there is no place for that here! Brody has Alexander against the ropes and CLUBS him! Alexander suffers Beats of the War Drum, and fans count to seven before Brody shoves him down! Brody tosses his shirt away, then brings Alexander up. Alexander fires body shots but Brody ROCKS him back. Brody puts Alexander against the post, hushes the fans, and winds up.
But Alexander ducks, Brody’s CHOP hits POST! The fans all wince as Brody clutches his hand! Alexander then RAMS Brody into the post to go after the shoulder! Alexander wrenches the arm, and he SLAMS it off railing! The fans boo but Alexander keeps after Brody. Alexander CHOPS Brody, refreshes the count, then brings Brody around to whip. But Brody reverses to send Alexander into barriers! Brody choke grips with his off hand, and he BARRIER CHOKE SLAMS Alexander! The fans fire up and Brody CHOPS Alexander against the barrier! Alexander falls, the fans fire up, and Brody stalks Alexander around the way.
Brody brings Alexander up, ROCKS him, but that was the bad hand. The fans rally and Brody puts Alexander in the ring. Alexander BOOTS Brody, then BOOTS the arm! Alexander runs, but Brody breaks through the lariat and CLOBBERS Alexander! Alexander tumbles out of the ring, and Brody builds speed! Brody DIVES into a FOREARM! Alexander has Brody in the ropes, APRON DDT! Brody slumps down and sputters, and then Alexander CHOPS him! The fans rally, Alexander runs, and he BODY CHECKS Brody off the apron! Alexander soaks up the heat while Lance Archer applauds. Callis says Alexander is not intimidated by size because he has the technique!
Fans chant “You Suck!” but Alexander SLAMS the bad arm into the post! Brody clutches his hand, but he CHOPS with the left! And CHOPS again! Alexander kicks and CHOPS in return! Alexander brings Brody around the way, and whips him hard into steel steps! Brody writhes, Alexander grins as he refreshes the count, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks on Brody, but Brody refuses to let the bad arm stop him. Alexander goes out and walks up the steps so he can stomp Brody’s hand! The ref reprimands but Alexander kicks Brody around. Alexander puts Brody in the ring, but Brody ROCKS him with an elbow! Brody CHOPS, but Alexander CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Alexander adjusts his wrestling headgear before bringing Brody around. Alexander HIP DROPS the good arm, looking to leave Brody with no arms! Alexander traps the bad arm and SNAP LOCKS it! Brody writhes and Alexander takes a moment to soak up heat. Brody drags himself up with the ropes, but Alexander pulls on the arms!
The ref reprimands, Brody ROCKS Alexander, but Alexander kicks low! Alexander climbs up in the corner to rain down fists! Brody stops Alexander at five, but Alexander CHOPS! Brody CHOPS, Alexander CHOPS repeat! Alexander CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, then brings Brody in for a BIG suplex! That alone was impressive, and Alexander covers, TWO! Brody toughs it out and Alexander grows frustrated. Alexander looms over Brody, throws down elbows, then he drags Brody by the bad arm. SNAP LOCK! Brody writhes again but Alexander paces.

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (advances to the AEW International Championship match)
The Don Callis Family had two chances tonight, failed them both, and now Brody heads for Colorado and Fyter Fest. Will The King of Death end the reign of The Best Bout Machine? Who else will join Brody and Kenny Omega in the Mile High City?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of the other two International Championship qualifiers, Claudio VS Komander and Hechicero VS Mascara Dorada, we will have Mina Shirakawa VS Skye Blue! Will the Fighting Gravure Idol stay strong in the wake of losing at Double or Nothing? Plus, after the confrontation during the TNT Championship match, Paragon battles RPG Vice, but with some added names to the mix! RPG Vice bring in NEVER Openweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, while Roddy & Kyle conglomerate with NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Tomohiro Ishii! Could this Six Man Tag open some doors to more golden opportunities?
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?
Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!
The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.
The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.
“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”
Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.
Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.
“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.
Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.
Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.
Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.
RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.
Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.
Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.
My Score: 8.9/10

Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

Ospreay gears up, runs up, HIDDEN BLADE!!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? HOW?!?! Ospreay isn’t sure, but the fans are loving this all the same! Ospreay shakes his head, rises up, and he drags Hangman up. Ospreay underhooks Hangman, but Hangman fights the lift!
Hangman wrenches free and SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay HEADBUTTS Hangman, then fires palm strikes! Ospreay KICKS away on Hangman in the ropes! The ref reprimands and counts as Ospreay rains down palm strikes! Ospreay and the ref argue, but Ospreay has to be careful, there’s no Champion’s Advantage type rule here. Hangman aims, but Ospreay BOOTS him first! Hangman hits the Spanish announce desk! Ospreay goes out to bring Hangman around, and he SMACKS Hangman off the desk! And then does it again! The ref reprimands but Ospreay just DRIBBLES Hangman off the desk! The fans are torn but Ospreay now clears the desk!
Ospreay climbs up onto the desk, brings Hangman up, but the ref wants this in the ring. Ospreay reels Hangman in, underhooks the arms, but Hangman fights the lift! The fans fire up as Hangman lifts Ospreay, but the desk falls apart!! The fans boo, but that was perhaps worse than what Hangman was planning! Hangman stands, he brings Ospreay around, and he still Alabama Lifts! DEADEYE on the desk wreckage! The fans fire up again and Hangman drags Ospreay up again. Hangman puts Ospreay in the ring, goes to the apron, and he loads up. Ospreay slowly stands, but he staggers away to the far side!
Hangman is frustrated, but Ospreay stares him down. Ospreay drags himself up with the ropes, and he takes off his elbow pad! Ospreay did say he wanted a shootout in the desert with this Cowboy, and now it’s time! It may be past 10 PM in Arizona, but it’s High Noon for Double or Nothing! Hangman takes his elbow pad off, and the two square off! Ospreay flips Hangman off, DRAW!! BUCKSHOT takes it!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Ospreay survives and no one can believe it!! Hangman drags himself up, but Ospreay grabs at a foot. Hangman kicks free but Ospreay goes after him in the ropes. Ospreay fires haymaker after haymaker!
The fans fire up, but Hangman BOOTS Ospreay! And BUCK- HIDDEN BLADE!!! And then underhooks! STORM BREAKER!!!! Cover, TWO!??!?!?! This is madness, but the fans are loving it! Ospreay reloads, runs up, but Hangman slumps over?!? Ospreay misses for it and crash lands! The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB!” and a standing count begins! They’re both down at 5 of 10, “This is Awesome!” as both men stir at 7! Hangman and Ospreay stand at 8, but Hangman leans on the ropes. Ospreay glares at Hangman, and he takes aim a la Kenny Omega! The fans are torn as Ospreay says BANG and runs, to V-TRIGGER!!
Ospreay reels Hangman in and Electric Chair Lifts!! But Hangman fights free, and he wheelbarrows, BIG PRESSURE!!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!!! Hangman uses Swerve’s move but Ospreay survives!! Fans still want these two to “FIGHT FOREVER!” and maybe that’ll happen! Hangman crawls back to the ropes, the fans love “BOTH THESE GUYS!” but Hangman skins the cat! Reload and BUCK- NO, Ospreay slips through! STORM – NO, Hangman lands out to BOOT, LARIAT, and then reload! BUCKSHOT!!! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!!!!!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)
Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?
Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.
Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.
Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…
That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.
Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.
Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.
This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.
And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.
My Score: 9.3/10
