Backstage interview with Wheeler Yuta.
Lexy Nair catches The Decoder as he enters the building now, and she knows this goes without being said, but… We all witnessed the horrific events of All Out and what happened to Bryan Danielson. How is Bryan? Yuta says Bryan… Out of respect for him and his family, Yuta won’t share too much. But Bryan is doing the best he can, given the circumstances. Yuta realizes he forgot his boots, spaces out a bit, but starts again. He hasn’t really talked with any of the other guys… And what about Yuta’s match tonight? Yuta says Anthony Henry is one incredibly talented, incredibly tough competitor.
But one thing Bryan told Yuta, the reason Bryan loves professional wrestling is because in the ring, he feels he’s meant to be there and everything else can be put on pause. So Yuta will try and channel that tonight. Yuta heads on to the locker room, will he be able to clear his mind once he’s in the ring?
Six Man Tag: Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Holo.grm VS The Beast Mortos & The Premier Athletes!
The Conglomeration has had a great week so far, but it could be even bigger given who they’re teaming with tonight! Will the futuristic luchador continue to raise the bar in AEW? Or will he, The Chicken and the Violent Artist all be brought down to earth by Ariya Daivari, Tony Nese and the menacing minotaur?
Oh wait, Mark Sterling of course has to talk. He knows we know who they are, but he’s sure we’re all wondering why they’re teaming with The Beast Mortos. That is because The Conglomeration and Hologram have been thorns in their side for the past two months! They used some of Daivari’s substantial funds to enlist two horns they can stick into The Conglomeration’s side! But to make sure everyone is on the same page, they’re going to do a team building exercise that even the idiots here in Ohio can understand! When Sterling says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else, got it? Hands in… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!”
The teams sort out, and Kyle steps up against Nese. They circle, the fans fire up, and the two tie up. Kyle waistlocks, Nese drop toeholds, and he floats to a facelock. Kyle wrenches out, facelocks, then wrenches to a wristlock. Nese endures, pulls at the tights, but Kyle wrenches again. Nese rolls, wrenches, wristlocks, and YANKS Kyle around. Kyle spins to drop toehold back, and now Kyle facelocks. Kyle wrenches an arm, tags Mark, and they mug Nese. The fans rally as Mark wrenches and YANKS the arm again and again. Nese powers up and puts Mark in the corner, tag to Daivari. The Premier Athletes mug Mark while fans boo.
The ref reprimands, Nese & Daivari let off, and Daivari drags Mark up. Daivari CHOPS Mark, whisp him, but Mark slides under and REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! Then he CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS again! Mark whips corner to corner, Daivari reverses, but Mark goes up and out to ROCK Daivari! RKF UPPERCUT! Then a BOOT! Mark fires up the fans, then he brings Daivari around. Mark whips, Daivari reverses, but Kyle tags in! Mark wrenches, kicks, and feeds the BOOT! Mark BLASTS Nese, fist-bumps Kyle, and Kyle drags Daivari up. Kyle wrenches to YANK the arm, then YANKS again.
Kyle wrenches but Nese runs up! Kyle BOOTS Nese, but Daivari CLUBS Kyle! Tag to Mortos but Kyle fires forearms! Mortos SMACKS Kyle back! The fans fire up, Mortos runs, but into a KNEE! Kyle fires a strike fest, then hurries to tag Hologram! The fans fire up, Mortos CLOBBERS Kyle! And CLBOBERS Mark! Hologram springboards, into a HEADBUTT! The fans are torn as Mortos stands tall. Mortos whips Hologram, but Hologram goes up and upside-down! Mortos runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! Hologram goes up and up and FLYING- NO, Mortos catches Hologram, but Hologram just rebounds off ropes to arm-drag free!
The fans are thunderous as Mortos tumbles! Nese tags in, Hologram whips Mortos, but Mortos reverses! Hologram stops himself, then feints to SUPERKICK! Nese runs up, Hologram dodges, Nese comes back into a COLLISION COURSE! Cover, TWO! Tag to Kyle and Kyle kicks! Nese blocks to ROCK Kyle! Nese runs, into a KNEE! Kyle snapmares, runs, but Nese distracts the ref and Daivari trips Kyle! Kyle avoids the sucker punch, then hurdles over Mortos! Kyle LARIATS Daivari, but Josh Woods stares him down! Nese PLANCHAS Kyle, the ref is busy with an angry Mark and Hologram, The Premier Athletes all mug Kyle!
Collision goes picture in picture as The Premier Athletes soak up the heat. Nese drags Kyle up and into the ring, then stalks him. Nese KICKS Kyle, then soaks up more heat. Nese fires body shots against the ropes, then lets off as the ref counts. Mortos tags in and he ROCKS Kyle! Kyle goes to a corner, Mortos whips corner to corner, but Kyle dodges! Mortos hits buckles, but he still BOOTS back! And SLING-DOGS! And SNAP POWERSLAMS! Cover, Mark breaks it! The ref reprimands and Mortos seethes, but he goes back for Kyle. Mortos drags Kyle up, brings him over, tag to Daivari, and they mug Kyle. Daivari turns Kyle to NECKBREAKER! Daivari covers, TWO!
Daivari drags Kyle up, whips him to the corner hard, then he tags Nese. Nese wants the fans to hush about Kyle, then he brings Kyle up. But Kyle clamps on a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Nese endures, fights up, and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Nese drags Kyle back, tag to Daivari. Daivari runs to ELBOW DROP! Daivari clamps onto Kyle as a chinlock. Daivari grinds Kyle down, Kyle endures, and the fans rally up. Kyle fights up, reaches out, and Collision returns to single picture. Daivari ROCKS Kyle, whips him to the corner, and LARIATS! Tag to Nese, and Daivari sends Nese in, only for Kyle to BOOT him!

Hologram fires up, too, but Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS!! But then Mark has a chair!
The fans are thunderous again as Mark sets the chair up, builds speed, but Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo, Mark LOW BLWOS Sterling! And it’s all fine cuz Sterling’s not a competitor in the match! Sterling falls to his knees, so Mark uses him as the launching pad, to FLY out onto everyone else! The fans are thunderous again and Kyle puts Nese in! Hologram aims, springboards and FLYING TORNADO DDTS!! Nese flounders around, into the roll and crucifix! Hologlomeration wins!

AEW shares footage from CMLL 91st Anniversario!
If you’re wondering where Orange Cassidy is, he was just down in Mexico to join in on CMLL’s big anniversary show. Freshly Squeezed was part of Team Internacional alongside Rocky Romero & Satoshi Kojima, losing out in a Best 2 Out of 3 Falls Six Man Tag against Team Mexico’s Atlantis Jr, Volador Jr. & Ultimo Guerrero. However, Cassidy’s night was not done. In the main event, Chris Jericho lost to Mistico and then became a sore loser, beating up Mistico with the help of “Big Bill” Morrissey! Cassidy made the save, he and Mistico ran off The Learning Tree, and stood tall as amigos.
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Renee Paquette says Freshly Squeezed made his CMLL debut in front of a sold out Arena Mexico. How did it- OH NO! Bill BOOTS Cassidy, sending his sunglasses flying! Bill then THROWS Cassidy into the garage door! Bryan Keith puts the backpack over Cassidy’s head, and here comes Jericho. Jericho has the framed picture of The Best Friends, and says, “Here’s to friendship, Orange.” He SMASHES the picture on Cassidy’s head!! “You can have your knapsack back. See you Wednesday.” Renee steps back in to say they need help back here! She tells Jericho to leave, Jericho says, “Thanks, Renee.” Did Jericho just get his real payback for the jacket and Bentley?
Stokely Hathaway is in his private study.
And what he’s studying is game film of various top tag teams in some of their best matches here in AEW. But what could Stokely be formulating for the future?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Lexy Nair is with The Glamour, and says she has been AEW Women’s World Champion for a few weeks now, but has yet to hold her championship celebration. Yes, she has, and she isn’t doing it now in Dayton, Ohio. It’s just the Wish.com version of Cincinnati. Then in any case, Mariah invited Mina Shirakawa to return, and Mariah says her best times were with Mina. Stardom and Japan, here in AEW, but then somewhere along the way, bad things just happened. Mariah needs Mina. She can’t celebrate her win without Mina. Mariah wants Mina. Oh, sorry, can Mariah help you? We pan over to see Yuka Sakazaki!
Yuka says hi, and Mariah says how cute. Yuka says she wants to fight for the belt. Oh, that’s nice. But Yuka can get in line, and then Mariah will rip her head off! Yuka says okay. Bye-bye~! Yuka leaves, and Mariah is seething already. Will the Wrestling Magical Girl prove she is worthy when she returns to the ring tonight?
Wheeler Yuta VS Anthony Henry w/ BEEF!
We saw how disheveled The Decoder is, even one week after the incident at All Out. But he’ll try his best to do what Bryan would do and use wrestling to clear his head. Will he succeed in shaking off this funk? Or will the Saint of Augusta take advantage of Yuta’s unsettled mindset?
The bell rings and Yuta circles with Henry. They tie up, Henry arm-drags Yuta, and Yuta backs off to the corner. Yuta resets with Henry, they tie up, and Henry arm-drags again! Henry keeps the arm, but Yuta kips up. Yuta slips through, wrenches and wristlocks back, but Henry rolls, slips through, and spins Yuta to a snapmare. Henry KCIKS Yuta in the back, then eggs Yuta on. Henry KICKS Yuta again, but Yuta gets up to headlock. Henry powers up and out, drops down, but Yuta sunset flips! Henry stays up, to then DOUBLE STOMP! The fans boo but Yuta goes to a corner. Henry runs up, but Yuta goes up and over.

Henry brings Yuta up to then snap suplex into barriers! Yuta is all folded up, and the fans boo Henry while Collision goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Yuta, but Yuta manages to turn over. Yuta sits up but Henry brings him into the ring. Henry eggs Yuta on more, stomps his hands, then KICKS him in the chest! Yuta falls back, crawls to a corner, but Henry drags him up again. Henry snapmares, and he clamps on with a straitjacket stretch! Yuta endures, even as Henry digs his knee into his back. The fans rally, Yuta fights up, and Yuta powers up to turn things around! Henry turns them back around and has the straitjacket back on! Yuta endures again, fights, but Henry thrashes him around! Yuta grits his teeth, rises up, and he JAWBREAKERS free as Collision goes to break!
Collision returns as Henry whips Yuta corner to corner. Yuta reverses, then runs up, but Henry pops Yuta up into an AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this, even if his focus is divided. Henry stomps Yuta’s foot, stands on the ankle, and he eggs Yuta on. The fans rally, Henry drags Yuta up and dares him to show us something! Yuta fires body shots, then elbows low! Henry ROCKS Yuta, and Yuta rewinds! It is still rough, but he manages the GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and Henry flounders. Yuta drags himself up, turns around, takes a swing, but Henry dodges! Henry feints then kicks the legs out, and KNEES Yuta down! Cover, TWO!
Yuta bails out, the ref checks him, but Yuta crawls to a corner. Henry storms out after Yuta, runs in, and CALF KICKS Yuta against railing! Henry then throws Yuta back in, goes up a corner, and DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS!! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives that coup de grace, and the fans fire up again! Henry storms around, Beef cheering him on, and he drags Yuta up. Henry mocks Yuta being all sad over Bryan not being here. Henry SLAPS Yuta, but the words are what pissed him off! Yuta snarls, and he DECKS Henry!! The fans fire up as Yuta fires off on Henry! The ref has to back Yuta off, but Yuta goes back for more!
Yuta gets the arms, and gives Henry some DRAGON STOMPS! The ref again backs Yuta off, but Yuta is roaring! Henry bails, Yuta runs, and Yuta DIVES! Direct hit into railing! Yuta then whips Henry hard into railing! And then whips him into more railing! Yuta fires hands, Beef is panicked, but Yuta puts Henry in the ring. Then Yuta BOOTS Beef for the hell of it! Yuta goes up the corner, aims at Henry, MISSILE DROPKICK! Down goes Henry and Yuta kips up! The fans fire up with Yuta, and he HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS away on Henry! All the best of what Bryan’s taught Yuta, and Henry is a ragdoll! Yuta shifts to CATTLE MUTILATION!
The ref checks, Henry is OUT! Yuta wins!!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by submission
Yuta is so furious, he almost goes after the ref now! But Yuta returns from the fugue state, and he takes his leave. But will Yuta focus this anger on those who deserve it? Or is he going to find himself stuck between both sides of the Blackpool Combat Club?
Backstage interview with Serena Deeb and Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair notes The Professor has a match tonight against Yuka Sakazaki, and The One True African Woman also has a match tonight against Robyn Renegade. Serena asked for this time with Aminata, the floor is hers. Serena thanks Aminata for her time, it is very kind of her to hear Serena out. Now, Serena wants to continue their discussion from last time. Serena watched Aminata take on Mariah, and it was a great match, Aminata has a lot of potential. But Serena did say that Aminata isn’t ready. However, the offer still stands and Serena is very forgiving. So if Aminata wants to talk more, she knows where to find her.
Aminata tells Serena sorry, but she doesn’t freakin’ have time for this! She has her match to get ready for. Serena tells Queen Aminata to let the Professor show her how it’s done. Serena then turns to camera to address Yuka. The last time Yuka even had thoughts to step into the ring with Serena, her leg broke. Imagine what it’ll be like now that she’s actually taking Serena on tonight. See you later. Serena says that to Aminata as much as she does Yuka. Will there be no mercy in Deeb’s Dojo for the returning Wrestling Magical Girl? Will Deeb’s Dojo be adding a student after tonight? Or will nothing go quite how Serena expects?
Anna Jay speaks.
“I just got back from Japan, wrestling, learning, honing my skills and becoming the best that I can be. It was not easy. I was tired, I was sore, I was beat up. But let me tell you what I learned while I was there. I want more. So much more. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah May is due for a very big receipt. And I’ve also never stepped into the ring with Mercedes Mone. So lemme make it easy for all of you. If you wanna see what an evolved Anna Jay has become, just try me.” The Queenslayer is back, will she become The Star of the Show once and for all?
Six Man Tag: Komander & Private Party w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Jon Cruz, Lord Crewe & Ren Jones!
This trio tried to have their first match together last Wednesday Night Dynamite, but they and their opponents got blindsided and brutalized by the new, more maniacal Blackpool Combat Club. Will they have better luck tonight? Or will being in Moxley’s backyard only put them at risk again?
The trios sort out, Brother Zay starts against Ren, and the two tie up. Ren headlocks, Zay powers up and out, and then he drops down. Zay hurdles, but Ren shoves him. Zay Quebradas, Ren gets under, but Zay RANAS! And then LARIATS! Zay rains down fists but Crewe CLUBS him! Crewe whips, Zay reverses and Quen DUMPS Crewe out! Quen then BOOTS Crewe, and Komander springboards to CROSSBODY Crewe down! Cruz runs up, he gets a BOOT! Quen tags in, CATAPULT GAMANGIRI COMBO! Komander goes up and he CIELITO LINDO! Zay runs up on Ren but Ren BOOTS him! Ren goes up, but Komander JUMP KNEES!
Ren wobbles, Komander coordinates with Private Party. Quen runs up, gets the boost from Komander, serving up GIN & JUICE!! Laid back! Cover, Private Party & Komander win!
Winners: Komander & Private Party, by pinfall
Should we start calling them #FiestaPrivada? A good first win now that they got their “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” But will they soon get their “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” at the BCC’s AEW World Trios Championships?
Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness talk about Bryan Danielson.
Given the change to Grand Slam, where Darby Allin now defends his #1 contender status against Jon Moxley, Nigel is of course calling out The American Dragon for that same night. How can Nigel be sure Bryan will even be able to compete? Nigel can’t be sure, but neither can Tony Khan. But when Moxley convinced Darby to put the title shot on the line, he did it out of pure speculation. That is why Nigel told TK that they can’t know Bryan won’t be able to compete. So Nigel figured, if Bryan can show up, and Darby no longer available to face him, Nigel would like to. Nigel will be there, so the question is, will Bryan?
Nigel now talks to Bryan: If Bryan doesn’t show up, it isn’t because of his condition. It is because he fears Nigel McGuinness. Nigel’s said it before, so he’ll just show us what he means. Footage courtesy of ROH, Nigel and Bryan battled for THE ROH World Championship. Nigel narrates that he and Bryan were bitter rivals on equal standing, clashing for the gold in matches that had the wrestling world abuzz. But there has been no one before or since that has beaten Bryan Danielson so convincingly, so brutally, and so thoroughly!
No matter how much success Bryan has had in his career after ROH, even winning the AEW World Championship, Bryan is STILL haunted by the memories of facing Nigel. Even more now 16 YEARS later, Nigel being in the best shape of his life, better than Bryan ever was, and Bryan is a physical wreck! Nigel says no worries, Bryan. Win, lose or draw, Bryan will still be world champion. But let’s not make any bones about it: If Bryan shows up, Nigel will look to end Bryan’s career! Ball’s in Bryan’s court. How will The American Dragon respond with 11 days left before Grand Slam?
Yuka Sakazaki VS Serena Deeb!
The Magical Girl called out The Glamour, but The Professor has called out The Magical Girl! Will Yuka pass Serena’s test and head for the AEW Women’s World Championship? Or will Serena earn herself that opportunity instead?
The bell rings but wait! Mariah makes her way out here! It seems Yuka got under her skin, but Mariah’s presence sure has Nigel in good spirits. The fans rally for Yuka as she and Deeb circle. They tie up, and Deeb wrenches an arm. Deeb wristlocks, Mariah says Deeb has taught her much so she wishes her luck. As for Yuka, break a leg. Deeb wrenches while Nigel laughs far too much at the joke. Yuka rolls, kips up, and wrenches to wristlock. Deeb rolls, rolls, and slips around to wrench and wristlock. Deeb wrangles Yuka, ties up the legs, and she has Yuka in Paradise! Deeb sits on Yuka, the fans are torn, but Mariah is amused.
Deeb flexes and Mariah jokes that this is child abuse. Yuka is a child as far as Mariah can tell. Schiavone says Yuka’s a ten year veteran, but Mariah says more like a 10-year-old. Deeb DROPKICKS Yuka out of Paradise! Yuka goes to ropes, Deeb eggs her on, but Yuka frowns. Yuka runs up to KNEE low! Yuka snapmares and rolls with Deeb to KICK her down! Then Yuka body scissors, and she ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING CLUTCH! Cover, TWO!! Deeb escapes, Mariah is annoyed by that already, and Deeb goes to a corner. Yuka runs up, blocks a boot, but Deeb reels Yuka in to KICK her! Yuka staggers, Deeb eggs her on again.
Yuka runs up, but Deeb catches her! Deeb turns Yuka, to HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Yuka flops to the apron, Mariah mocks her pain, and Deeb mocks the booing fans while Collision goes picture in picture.
Deeb stalks Yuka, drags her up, and then reels her in. But Yuka wrenches out, whips, only for Deeb to sunset flip, and HALF CRAB! Yuka endures as Deeb pulls on that recovered leg! Yuka fights, reaches out, and has the ROPEBREAK! Deeb lets go in frustration, and she storms around. Deeb stalks Yuka, drags her up, and TWIST ‘N’ SHOUTS! Cover, TWO!! Yuka survives but Deeb keeps her focus. Deeb stomps Yuka, then drags her around to step on her face! Yuka writhes, the ref reprimands, but Deeb just smirks. Deeb drags Yuka by a leg, and drops an elbow on the knee! And another elbow! And then a GROUND DRAGON SCREW! Cover, TWO!!
Yuka is toughing it out and that just upsets Deeb more. Deeb grabs the leg again, but Yuka fights the Half Crab by grabbing Deeb’s leg! Yuka then kicks, and kicks, and kicks Deeb away! Deeb runs back up, blocks a kick, but Yuka ENZIGIRIS! Yuka hobbles to a corner, sits down to rest the bad leg, but she watches Deeb crawl. Deeb rises up, runs in at Yuka, but blocks another boot! Collision returns to single picture as Yuka goes up, reels Deeb in, HANGING HEADSCISSORS! The fans fire up, the ref counts, and Mariah says that’s against the rules! Yuka lets go at 4, fire sup, and the fans fire up more! Yuka climbs and takes aim!
Yuka MISSILE DROPKICKS Deeb! The fans fire up again and Yuka scoops Deeb into a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Deeb survives but clutches her neck. Yuka storms back over, drags Deeb up, and wrenches to hammerlock, lift, and SPIN~! But Deeb slips free to waistlock! Yuka switches, Deeb switches, but Yuka elbows free! But Deeb shoves Yuka to get a SNAP GERMAN! Then Deeb wrenches, hammerlocks, PEPSI TWIST! Cover, TWO?!?! Yuka barely gets that arm up and Deeb can’t believe it! Deeb huffs ‘n’ puffs but the fans rally for Yuka. Deeb reels Yuka in, tucks the arms, but Yuka fights the lift!
Yuka backdrops free and the fans fire up! Yuka SLIDING D! Cover, TWO!! Deeb survives and Yuka is a bit stunned now. Yuka refocuses, aims from a corner, and then runs up to ROCK Deeb! Yuka boxing elbows, then ROLLING- NO, Deeb ducks to wrench! Deeb drags Yuka down, around, reels her in, POWERBOMB! STRETCH MUFFLER!! Yuka endures, fights, and Mariah mockingly says Yuka might have to tap. The fans rally up, Yuka roars and crawls forward! ROPEBREAK! Deeb thrashes the leg, but she lets go at the ref’s count. Deeb drags Yuka back up, UPPERCUTS, but then Yuka ROCKS Deeb!
Deeb UPPERCUTS! Yuka ROCKS Deeb! UPPERCUT! Yuka wobbles, but she comes back to ROCK Deeb! Yuka fires shot after shot, then runs up, but Deeb ducks! DOUBLE LARIATS collide! And again! Deeb gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Even Mariah thought that one hurt. But Yuka ROCKS Deeb! Deeb LARIATS Yuka! Deeb drags Yuka up, tucks her in, but Yuka powers out! Scoop and MAGICAL GIRL DRIVER! Yuka drags Deeb into the drop zone, goes to the apron, and the fans fire up! Yuka climbs up the ropes, for the MAGICAL GIRL SPLASH!! Cover, Yuka wins!
Winner: Yuka Sakazaki, by pinfall
It was a hard fought match, but Yuka found the will to win! Mariah is not happy about it, but will she be even angrier when Yuka proves she’s a contender? WAIT, Mariah CLOBBERS Yuka on the stage!! The fans boo and Yuka sits up in a daze, having no idea what just hit her! Mariah reels Yuka in, but Yuka fights the lift! Yuka powers out to SUPERKICK! Mariah goes down in a heap! Yuka then picks up the title belt! The fans cheer, but will this be the scene that plays out in the very near future?
The Outrunners speak.
In another retro video, Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd are getting their pump on in the gym! They say what they want, when they want! How old do they have to be to have a gym membership? 18 years old. Well lucky for this guy, he’s lookin’ at the Youngest Men Alive! Now scram! They tell the tag division that they’re coming for your pride, your manhood, and your gold! Because if you haven’t seen The Outrunners, you ain’t seen nothing yet! These human throwbacks are ready for action, but what will it take for them to take down the best in AEW?
Top Flight Airlines talks backstage.
Leila Grey is so full, they just had a great dinner. But then Action Andretti speaks up. Why’re they going on about the food they just ate? Are they not pissed off like he’s pissed off? Look what they did just this week. Darius & Dante lost out on a chance to become AEW World Tag Team Champions. Lio Rush lost out on the TNT Championship. Action just lost on Rampage! He’s still hot! Lio asks why he’s still on it then. Chill out, it’s just a loss. No, man, it’s not “just” a loss! Look at them! They have so much potential together! They have something that very few have! This is Leila Grey, Top Flight, Lio Rush and Action Andretti, and all they’re talking about is food?!
Action snatches Dante’s burger and CHUCKS it at the production truck! Lio says calm down, Action! But Action looks at the truck and says look! Why aren’t they treated more like The House of Black? Does Top Flight not have wins over The House of Black? Why aren’t they going up against more teams like them and getting more wins? Lio says Action is just talking out his ass, and Leila says yeah, Action needs to calm down. The team needs to get it together, or they’re going nowhere. Action says yeah, they do. Action leaves, but where to? The others follow him, will The Sight to See make the others see his point of view?
Six Man Tag: The Bang Bang Gang VS The Cage of Agony!
Juice Robinson & The Gunns were minding their business, but Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona had to drudge up the past. Cage said they only lost the ROH World Six Man Tag titles, because they were up against six opponents! But it’s not like anyone has gold anymore, so who settles this score to then head back for the belts?
The trios sort out and Juice starts against Liona. The bell rings, the fans rally for “JUICE! JUICE!” Juice and Liona tie up, Liona powers Juice to a corner, then gets in Juice’s face.

Liona KNEES low and Austin falls right out of the ring! Liona paces, Colten coaches his brother, but Liona snarls at Juice.

Austin runs up, Liona catches him and keeps him from Colten! Liona shoves Austin to the Agony corner, then runs up, but Austin dodges! Hot tag to Colten!

Colten SPLASHES Liona, SPLASHES Kaun, then runs, jukes and NECKBREAKER! Liona runs up, Colten dodges, and LEAPING HAYMAKER! Cover, TWO!!
The fans rally, Colten goes up the corner, but Kaun CHOPS first! Kaun brings Colten down, but Colten snap suplexes first! Cage runs up, but Colten BOOTS the lariat to then snap suplex! Liona runs up, into a kick and- NO, Liona is too big for a suplex! Liona tires, Colten fights it! But then Cage and Kaun storm up, only for the ref to stop them! Liona suplexes, but Colten cradle counter! The ref is missing the cover!! The fans count, Bang Bang Gang would’ve won! Colten lets Liona go, gets Cage and Kaun to leave, then he dodges Liona, only for Liona to POUNCE him! Liona tags Cage, then Liona BLAST Juice! Cage tags Kaun and they get Colten up.

Winners: The Bang Bang Gang, by pinfall
The fans fire up as the Collision Cowboys stand tall! Will this big win lead Rock Hard Robinson, Fully Cocked Colten, and… Austin… back to the trios championships?
Backstage interview with Serena Deeb.
Lexy knows tonight didn’t go as Serena had planned, what happened out there? But before The Professor can explain, Queen Aminata walks in. “So, is that how it’s done?” Aminata heads out now, will she be the one to lead by example? Or will Dayton’s own Renegade revolt against The Queen?

The #BrainDrain gets it done, and Aminata shakes it off. But then Deeb CHOP BLOCKS Aminata! Deeb is a sore loser, but she’s going after Aminata for disrespecting her! HALF CRAB, and it is DEEP! The fans boo but Deeb is looking to teach Aminata a lesson: Do NOT mess with Deeb! Deeb finally lets Aminata go, will Deeb get ahead in the division by any means necessary?
The House of Black speaks.
Buddy Matthews chuckles and says, “Boys. It seems like everyone wants a piece of the House of Black.” Malakai Black says, “The seven of you (Lance Archer, The Righteous and all of Top Flight Airlines) want to challenge the three of us. I’d say that your odds are about, oh, I’d say 50-50.” Brody King sees it as 80-20. But Buddy says come one, come all! The House of Black slips into the shadows, will they just tear down anyone and everyone that knocks on their door?

Throwbacks love throwbacks, but will these four make sure GYV don’t make it to the top of the mountain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, with lots of great story build. I even like this literal “Show up, win, leave” attitude Jack Perry is using. He and Daniels have a solid opening match, some real rough bumps taken but both guys were okay, and of course Jack won. But one of these times, someone has to either hijack the bus or surprise Jack from inside the bus. I mean, he just leaves it right there in the parking lot. Really good stuff with Yuta, too, though he kind of awkwardly played being distracted and disheveled. But in the match, he got it right as Henry insulted him and Bryan and then just went berserk. And good promo from Nigel to further call out Bryan, so you know Bryan’s gonna show up.
Great Six Man Tag from Conglomeration with Hologram against Mortos & Premier Athletes. I figured the Faces would win to keep Hologram going strong, but Mortos seems to just be going after anyone and everyone he wants. Ricochet from Dynamite, Hologram here, we’re going to get some great matches out of all of them as Ricochet builds up towards facing Ospreay for the International Championship. And we also got a very good showing from the new trio of Komander & Private Party, the alley-oop into the Gin & Juice is genius, and I feel like we’re definitely getting a Six Man Tag match, Fiesta Privada VS Moxley, Claudio & Pac. Non-title, but could be used as a plot point to compel a title match, and then Yuta has to decide whose side he is on.
Great Six Man Tag from Bang Bang Gang with Cage of Agony, and great win for Bang Bang Gang, they’ll be staying afloat as we wait on this World Trios Championship story to sort out. Very good promo segment from Top Flight Airlines, and while both sides of the argument are valid, I am leaning towards Action’s side. The whole faction could be doing so much more, they just need the opportunities. Though, calling out The House of Black might be a mistake. Good promo from The House of Black in response, calling out Top Flight and The Righteous, that sounds like a very good Trios Triple Threat in the making right there.
Very good stuff in the build of a new Women’s World Championship story here. Aminata and Deeb of course have their own issues brewing, but good revisit of Yuka and Deeb, which was the intended feud months ago before Yuka got hurt. Granted, there were parts of the match between Yuka and Deeb that were a bit rough, maybe it was a lot for Yuka’s return. But great win for Yuka, and then great stuff with her and Mariah, and that tag match made for Dynamite is going to be a lot of fun.
Very intriguing vignette from Stokely Hathaway. While he is still managing Statlander, he might be looking to expand into a full faction, which would be what the tag match videos are about. Good video showing Cassidy and Jericho in action at CMLL’s anniversary show, but Tony Schiavone misspoke, all the AEW guys lost that night. But then good follow-up of continuity both there in CMLL and here tonight with Jericho’s team beating Cassidy down. This adds some last minute heat to the Dynamite match, but I am very sure this all means Cassidy finds a way to win.
And awesome tag match main event from FTR VS GYV, and great win for FTR. I should’ve figured GYV would be sore losers about it, but I did not think The Outrunners would make the save. They are rapidly growing in popularity, even if it’s more for their hilarious gimmick. But between making amends with Infantry on ROH and coming out to help FTR, Outrunners look to be in a lot of 8 Man Tags in the near future. If things go right, they might even be tag team champions before the year is over. But probably ROH tag titles more than AEW tag titles.

Hangman Page speaks.
“Christopher Daniels, for far too long, I have listened to the ruminations and opinions of how I should live my life from old men like you. CD, you are wrong. And you are long in the tooth. Tonight, Texas Death, I take you out to pasture.” The Blackhat Cowboy is ready to put the Fallen Angel out of his misery, but will he hit that Buckshot right in Daniels’ face?
Texas Death Match: Hangman Page VS Christopher Daniels!
No sense in waiting to find out, the Cowboy and the Fallen Angel start us off! Will “Maximum Carnage” be an understatement after these two go until one man can’t keep going?

Hangman scrambles to his feet at 9!! Hangman is bloodied but he’s going nuts! He steps on the chair so Daniels can’t use it! Daniels ROCKS Hangman, Hangman LARIATS Daniels! Scoop and tuck! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER onto the chair!!
Daniels crawls with one good arm, and he’s somehow still in this! Fans want that “ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!” Hangman waits on Daniels to stand, then reels him in! Alabama Lift, DEADEYE onto the chair!!! Daniels sputters but he’s staying down! Hangman goes to the apron and he loads up all the same. Daniels somehow rises up before 5 of 10, so a BUCKSHOT from behind takes him down!! The count starts again while Hangman stands over Daniels. The count is 5 of 10, then 7. 8! 9! 10!! Daniels is done, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by knockdown
The medics check Daniels, but Hangman leaves him behind. But then on second thought, Hangman drags Daniels up! Underhooks and ANGEL’S WINGS!! Hangman adds insult to injury by using Daniels’ own move!! Hangman storms off, leaving Daniels to the medics. Is this the end of the Fallen Angel? Is this only the beginning of Hangman’s violent road back to the world title?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Maximum Carnage, and he welcomes out Toni Storm! Cincinnati fires up as The Rockstar is back again, and “Rookie” Toni joins Schiavone in the ring. Schiavone notes her historic win in the inaugural Women’s Casino Gauntlet, and with it, her shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship! It will be Grand Slam: Australia, Toni’s hometown of Brisbane, how does she feel? Toni says honestly, she doesn’t even know what her life is right now. It is so surreal! All she can say is, her dreams are finally coming true!
Because she’s going to Australia, to the building where she saw her first wrestling show, and she’ll never forget how her mom scraped together all she could so that they could get tickets, just to sit in the back row. Mom sold hot dogs to pay for Toni’s training. Mom sewed together Toni’s original ring gear. Now Toni can call mom and tell her, “Get ready, cuz I’m coming home!” The fans cheer that! Schiavone says that is a great feeling, but Toni surely realizes she is facing Mariah May, and that is an entirely different feeling. The fans boo Mariah, but Toni says Mariah is “the best in the business today. She’s killing it!”
But Toni hasn’t even had a chance to introduce herself to Mariah. Maybe next week, in Jacksonville, Daily’s Place, the home of AEW… It’s time for Toni and Mariah to finally meet face to face. The fans cheer, but Schiavone wants Toni to understand. C’mon now, Toni. Aw, c’mon yourself, Schiavone! It’s Tony and Toni! That means… IT’S TONI TIME~! WOO~! Say it with her! Okay. It’s TONI TIME! The fans cheer and Toni gets Tony to be all fired up! But the point Schiavone was trying to get to is valid: Is Toni really unaware of her timeless rivalry with The Glamour?
The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
It was after the show on Wednesday that MVP said a definitive statement was made. MVP promised Lashley & Shelton that when they came to AEW, the championship gold would be theirs for the taking. The All Mighty has never been a tag team champion while the Standard of Excellence has many times. That changes everything. With the defeat, the ASS KICKING, they just put on Private Party, that should make the Hurt Syndicate the #1 contenders. So Private Party, time to crash the party! Next week, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Private Party better put up the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Shelton & Lashley. See what you’ve really got!
But just remember: #WeHurtPeople. Lashley says this ish is gonna be easy. He and Shelton fist bump, but will they put the hurt on Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy?
Six Man Tag: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Shane Taylor Promotions!
Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly are reunited once more, ready for more, and they have all sorts of targets in mind. But Lee Moriarty, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo have their eyes on those same championship targets, which is why they’re crossing paths here tonight. Will #TAIGASTYLE & The Infantry show the Kingdom how to rumble, bad men, rumble? Or will Maximum Carnage be undisputed?

Roddy CHOPS again, then wrenches to a wristlock. Lee rolls, slips through, traps the arms, and he pulls on an ear! Tag to Dean, STP mug Roddy, and then Dean scoops, only for Roddy to slip free. Roddy shoves and DROPKICKS Dean down!

Kyle whips, Carlie reverses, and Dean trips Kyle up! The ref is arguing with Carlie, and now with The Kingdom, as Dean hits an APRON CUTTER! Carlie goes up and out to then GUILLOTINE AX HANDLE! Kyle flops down, STP pose together, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle sputters, The Infantry distract the ref, and that lets Shane THROW Kyle into railing! Shane DECKS Kyle while The Kingdom protests! The ref keeps everyone back, and Dean brings Kyle around. Carlie puts Kyle in the ring, whips him to a corner, then storms up to JAB! JAB! JAB! Carlie pops, locks ‘n’ winds up, to CHOP! Carlie talks smack, tags Dean, then Dean sends Carlie in to SPLASH! Dena runs up, whips Carlie in again, forearm SMASH! Then Dean ELBOWS Kyle! Kyle staggers, into a LARIAT from Dean! The Captain scowls while he stands over Kyle. Dean then pushes Kyle to a cover, TWO!
Dean drags Kyle back, anchors him, then tags Lee. Lee drags Kyle up to UPPERCUT! Kyle staggers around, Lee Mongolian CHOPS! Kyle staggers some more, and Collision goes to break.

STP put up quite the fight, but now Shane himself CLOBBERS Kyle! And he blocks a kick to KNEE Cole down! And he HEADBUTTS Roddy down! The fans boo but Big Bad Shaney T is that bad! He talks trash, even to Daddy Magic! Matt Menard says alright then! If Shane thinks he’s bad, then step to him! Or rather, step to DANIEL GARCIA! The TNT Champion makes his way out here, and he CLOBBERS Carlie! He CLOBBERS Dean! And he fires hands on Shane! Garcia throws off his jacket, storms in, and he fires more hands! Shane shoves Garcia away, but Kyle KICKS! Cole SUPERKICKS! Strong KNEE!
Daniel reels Shane in, SAIDO! The fans fire up as Garcia and the Undisputed Kingdom stand tall together! STP retreats, but then The Kingdom eyes that TNT Championship. Garcia holds it up, and he dares any which one of them wants it to come get it. Who will be the first from The Kingdom to challenge the Red Death?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Alicia Atout was with Will Ospreay and asked him about the save he made for Kenny Omega against the Don Callis Family. What are his thoughts after all that? Ospreay says you can call it a save for Kenny but it was really Ospreay trying to get after Kyle Fletcher. But hey, he and Kenny have had their differences. Their battles in Japan and Canada have gone down as legendary. But they both know each other because of Don Callis. That is their link, that is how they’re tied together. Before, it was all about egos, but to be honest, this is bigger than both of them. Time they had a chat. Next week, Dynamite in Knoxville, Ospreay calls out Kenny to have that chat.
The Bruv wants to talk with The Best Bout Machine, will they come to an agreement when it comes to their common enemies?

Speaking of Don Callis, his Murder Machines are back in action, ready to make #EverybodyDie! Will Cage & Archer be waiting on the other side of Private Party VS Hurt Syndicate for their tag title shot? Or can Dante & Darius Martin show that the bigger they are, the harder they fall?

Backstage interview with The Learning Tree.
Lexy Nair is with Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey, and she asks Jericho about how on Dynamite, he assured us all that The Learning Tree and The Death Riders would be on the same page, and that Jon Moxley can trust them. How is Jericho so sure that things will go well when The Death Riders didn’t even show for this interview? The Redwood says, “As the Learning Tree always says, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.'” Jericho says that’s so true. And Moxley isn’t the type to show up and do interviews. Jericho isn’t the type to stand here and allow someone to stir the pot.
So enough of this muckraking! Bryan Keith adds, “No mother effin’ muckraking!!” Lexy is a bit taken aback, but Jericho tells Moxley that he’ll address him directly. They’ve known each other a long time. They were the first two AEW World Champions! They have beaten the hell out of each other around the entire world! Moxley left this scar right on Jericho’s left eyebrow. See? And Jericho took a spike and tried to take Moxley’s eye. So like Jericho said, they’ve beaten each other all around the world, but tonight they have common enemies! Moxley knows there is no one in AEW as driven or as smart as Moxley as Jericho.
So if Moxley’s as smart as Jericho thinks, it would behoove Moxley to trust The Learning Tree. And if there’s any doubt, then The Learning Tree will prove it to you before you meet them in the ring. Lexy asks what he means, but Jericho counters with, “What does anything mean, Lexy?” Jericho storms off, Bill says that was a sick burn. Keith says it was a sick ass burn! The Learning Tree heads out, but seriously, what does Jericho mean? How’re they going to prove themselves to The Death Riders before their 12 Man Tag?
Backstage interview with Matt Menard & Daniel Garcia.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with Daddy Magic & The TNT Champion, and she notes them helping out The Undisputed Kingdom. Can they explain how and why? But before Garcia can, Roddy shouts at “DANIEEEL~!” The Kingdom thanks Garcia for that, they appreciate the help. And trust Cole when he says that if there’s anyone who understands competition, certainly it’s Garcia. It is a shame, though, that Garcia & Menard don’t have a third man, because Cole, Roddy & Kyle wanna prove they’re the best trio in AEW. Garcia says yeah, well, they’ll be in Jacksonville next week for Collision: Homecoming.
And Garcia remembers walking into Jacksonville three years ago with two people he barely even knew, at the bottom of the totem pole. Three years later, we’re going back to Jacksonville and it’s a completely different story. Menard checks with Garcia. Is he saying they’re call the brand new father? The new father? Then Kingdom is on! Homecoming, Jacksonville, Six Man Tag! Cole and the boys like that, and they head out. Will things still be undisputed? Or will Cool Hand Ange’s return to the ring tip the scales?
Max Caster is in the ring.
Platinum Max has both a mic and a leather bag, and he thanks the fans, missing how they’re booing him. But Caster says there has been a lot of issues going on within The Acclaimed. There are a lot of rumors online, a lot of talk, but he wants to clear the air right now with his teammate, Anthony Bowens. Caster asks Bowens to come to the ring, and he has the fans cheer Bowens on. Bowens does walk out here, and he grabs a mic for himself. Caster says this has gone on long enough. There has been a huge misunderstanding between the two of them. They are a great team, and more importantly, they are great friends.
The biggest issue here is that Bowens just won’t admit that Caster is the Best Wrestler Alive! The fans boo and Bowens stops Caster there. Bowens says it is finally time for Caster to listen! Because for the last five years, Bowens has tried with every fiber of his being to protect Caster in the ring, in the locker room, and in the media. Because they, The Acclaimed, were tag team partners, and then became best friends. But now Bowens has to live with the very uncomfortable truth that Caster has made Bowens into a liar! Because for those five years, Bowens has had to lie to every single fan about who Caster is as a person!
Because Cincinnati, you need to know that Max Caster is an arrogant, cocky, selfish, edge lord PIECE OF S*IT! And Caster wants the fans to believe he’s the Best Wrestler Alive? Newsflash: The fans believe YOU SUCK! The fans cheer, but Caster brings out a (fake) degree from his bag that says “Best Wrestler Alive!” Bowens says this is what he means! Cater is selfish, he lost the team spirit! Why did Caster start looking down on Bowens? Maybe it’s because Bowens is the Scissor King, not that Caster’s been doing that. Well guess what? Bowens is more than that! He possesses every tool necessary to be a world champion! Cincy agrees there!
Bowens has proudly represented AEW since he put pen to paper! He is the GADDAMN PRIDE of AEW! He is the Five Tool Player!! The fans cheer that! And Bowens doesn’t need some piece of paper to prove it. Caster says don’t touch him! Wait, the music hits? They’re both here, so that means it is DADDY ASS! Billy Gunn is back, mic in hand, and he sighs looking at his boys fighting. The fans cheer and Billy says first off, what is wrong with these two? They are The Acclaimed! AEW World Tag Team Champions, AEW World Trios Champions, and they got everyone to scissor just because it was cool!
Caster claims Billy doesn’t care about them! He just attached himself to a couple of young, hungry wrestlers like them just so they could hear the fans chant his name again. Billy made it about Billy, when it should be about MAX! The Best Wrestler Alive! Oh, and Anthony! They are best friends! Seriously! Okay? They are two guys who were randomly put together, didn’t know each other, but they became the winningest tag team in AEW history! Every team Billy has been a part of has broken up, and there’s a reason for that. Yeah, even Gunn Club! Billy’s own two sons did not want anything to do with him!
Billy gets pissed and he gets in Caster’s face. The fans tell Billy, “KICK HIS ASS! KICK HIS ASS!” Caster says he is not doing this. Bowens has to choose: Caster or Billy. If Bowens wants The Acclaimed to continue, it is either Caster or “washed-up” Billy Gunn. The fans cheer for “BILLY! BILLY!” Bowens is conflicted, but Caster stands there with open arms. Bowens offers the scissors, so Caster says okay. But then Bowens makes it a middle finger! The fans cheer as Bowens stands with Billy! So is that how it is? Caster says fine! Another bad decision from “Bad Decision Bowens.” You can’t walk away from Caster, he’s walking away from them!
Acclaimed is done because CASTER said so as leader of the team! It is Bowens’ fault, it is Billy’s fault, and it’s the fault of every fan here! Caster will prove to everyone that he IS the Best Wrestler Alive, and without him, Bowens sucks, Billy sucks, and all the fans suck! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Bowens tells Caster that he didn’t need Caster then, and he doesn’t need Caster now! Get outta his life! Billy, Cincy, one last time! Throw the scissors up! The fans cheer as Bowens & Billy SCISSOR~! Caster is frustrated, but will he just have to put up or shut up?
Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland & Prince Nana.
Lexy is with The Realest and says the past few weeks, he and Ricochet have had this cat ‘n’ mouse game. But it was announced that February 5th, Dynamite in Atlanta, we will get Swerve VS Ricochet. But until then, what is Swerve’s strategy? Swerve says respectfully, the longer they waste time talking, the more time Ricochet has to get away. And as for “cat ‘n’ mouse,” this is more like lion and rat. It will end now. February 5th, Swerve gets Ricochet in the ring to himself, but Swerve plans on seeing him way before then. Swerve has been cursed with the ability where everything he touches dies…
With that said, Swerve plans on using that for when he gets his hands on Ricochet’s throat! The Most Dangerous Man is only going to be more dangerous from now on, will Ricochet have no chance of escape?
AEW Continental Championship: Kazuchika Okada VS Tomohiro Ishii!
As Okada said himself to open the show, these two used to be the best of friends in NJPW under the banner of Chaos. But being part of The Elite (The, The Elite) has brought out the worst in one of the best wrestlers today. Will he continue to make it rain even here in Cincinnati? Or will the Stone Pitbull soon sink his teeth into some gold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Maximum Carnage gets some Strong Style thrown in!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as these two stare down. They circle, but then Okada backs off to the ropes. The fans boo but the ref has Ishii back up. Okada and Ishii reset, the fans cheer on “Both These Guys!” Okada again uses ropes for defense, and Ishii dares him to bring it! Okada runs up, they tie up, and Okada puts Ishii on ropes. Okada lets off, fakes the chop, then pats Ishii on the shoulder. But then Ishii CHOPS! Ishii fires forearms, Okada wobbles, but then Okada CLAWS the eyes! Okada runs, but Ishii CLOBBERS him! Ishii brings Okada up, CHOPS him, then eggs Okada on. Ishii whips, Okada grabs ropes, and Okada bails out!
The fans boo but Ishii storms out after Okada! Okada kicks low! Okada grins, but Ishii RAMS him into the railing! Ishii runs, and he CLOBBERS Okada again! The fans fire up while Ishii paces, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Okada sputters, Ishii drags him up, and Ishii CHOPS! Okada sputters, Ishii CHOPS again, and then Ishii CHOPS again! Ishii pushes Okada into the ring, storms in after him, and runs, but into a FLAPJACK! Okada snarls, Ishii sputters, and Okada brings Ishii up. Okada bumps Ishii off buckles, wrenches and whips, then he runs in to ELBOW Ishii down! Okada soaks up the cheers and jeers while the ref checks Ishii. Ishii is still in this so Okada storms up. The ref has Okada back off and the medic checks Ishii. A leg may have been tweaked after that last fall, but Okada storms up again. Ishii CHOPS him!
Ishii CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Okada kicks low! DDT! Ishii is stuck on his head, but Okada pushes him over to cover. TWO, but Okada kicks Ishii around. Ishii snarls as Okada scuffs him, and then Okada BOOTS! Ishii wobbles but stays on his feet! Okada BOOTS him again, but Ishii eggs Okada on! Okada runs, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Both men are down as Maximum Carnage returns to single picture. Okada goes to a corner, Ishii runs up, and Ishii LARIATS! Ishii hoists Okada up top, then he climbs up after Okada. Ishii brings Okada to the very top, for a SUPERPLEX! Both men are down again and the fans fire up! Cover, TWO!
The fans rally as Okada survives. Ishii snarls, stomps his foot to get feeling back in it, and he reels Okada in. But Okada fights to lift and REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Okada hauls Ishii up to scoop, SLAM, and he goes to the corner! Okada climbs, aims, and MACHO ELBOWS! The fans fire up as Okada stands, and he winds up for the Rainmaker MIDDLE FINGER~! But Ishii BENDS that finger! Ishii gives a middle finger back, but Okada CLAWS Ishii’s face! Okada swings, Ishii ducks, but Okada elbows free. Okada whips, but Ishii avoids the dropkick! SLIDING0 NO, Okada avoids that to scoop and LANDSLIDE DRIVER!
Okada fires up, the fans are torn, but Okada ripcords and- LARIAT from Ishii!! The fans are thunderous as Ishii waits on Okada! Ishii runs, but Okada DROPKICKS him down! Okada ripcords again, but Ishii RAMS low! Then HEADBUTTS! Okada ROCKS Ishii! Okada brings Ishii around and short arm LARIATS! Ishii takes it, and HEADBUTTS Okada down! Ishii runs to SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and the fans fire up! Ishii fires up and he brings Okada around. Ishii suplexes, but Okada slips free! Okada DROPKICKS Ishii in the back!

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW Continental Champion)
Okada grins, having cheated his former friend out of this one! Will nothing stop the reign when Okada’s willing to drag his own reputation through the mud?

The Natural is still the DUAL ROH World Tag Team & ROH World Six Man Champion, and he is looking to prove this is his best run yet! Will that continue through Maximum Carnage? Or will Priest read Dustin his last rites?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally, Dustin offers a handshake, but Priest says nope! The fans boo but the two tie up.

The bell rings, and Harley takes the sunglasses off. Her eyes are still sensitive from what Julia did to her, but Julia likes the look. The two tie up, Harley trips Julia and rains down fists!

The AEW World Champion, the AEW World Trios Champions, the ROH World Champion, and “The Branches” all stand against what was going to be The Book of Hobbs with Turbo Floyd, Truth Magnum, Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Adam “Cope” Copeland. But after what Jericho, Bill & Keith just did to Hobbs, is this going to be a 6v5? Can Cope and comrades still win even with the odds against them?
The teams sort out and Bill shows off the “trophy” they took from Hobbs. Dax the Ax steps up against The Nueve in another go-around from last Collision. The fans rally up with the bell and the two circle. They tie up, go around, then break. Dax eggs Jericho on, Jericho storms up on him, and they go forehead to forehead. Jericho pie faces Dax, then SLAPS him! The afns boo but Dax says oaky. And he SLAPS back! Jericho SLAPS, Dax SLAPS, repeat! Dax then CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Dax whips corner to corner, runs up, but Jericho BOOTS him! Jericho goes up, MISSILE DROPKICKS, and he fires up while fans boo.
Tag to Keith, the Learning Tree mugs Dax, and then The Bad Apple throat chops! And regular CHOPS! Keith stalks Dax, but Dax CHOPS again and again! Dax snap suplexes Keith, drops a leg, then covers, ONE!! Dax fishhooks Keith’s mouth, then ELBOWS him down. Tag to Cash and FTR hoists Keith up. BOOSTED GOURD BUSTER! Cover, ONE!! Keith shows some true grit and he scrambles away. Cash says fine, someone get in. Yuta tags in, sniping things from Bill. Wheeler and Wheeler talk smack, circle, and they tie up. Cash wrenches to wristlock, then he WRINGS Yuta’s arm! Yuta kips up, and he ROCKS Cash!
Yuta CHOPS Cash, puts him in the corner, then CHOPS! Cash turns things around to CHOP, CHOP and CHOP! Cash whips corner to corner, Yuta bounces off buckles, and Cash BACKDROPS him! Dax is there to ROCK Yuta! Cash ROCKS Yuta! Yuta gets pinballed, then Cash DECKS Yuta! Tag to Truth and he wrenches Yuta for a wristlock. But Yuta pulls hair to throat Truth down! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS Truth in a corner! Yuta CLAWS Truth’s face, CHOPS him, but Truth gets in Yuta’s face! Truth CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! The fans fire up as Truth DECKS Yuta! Tag to Turbo!
The Outrunners double whip, body shot and KNEE LIFT, then Truth ROCKS Yuta! Turbo reels Yuta in, the fans rally up, and Turbo suplexes! Turbo holds Yuta up, then SLAMS him down! Cover, but Moxley breaks it! The fans boo but Truth runs up to ROCK Moxley! Claudio and The Learning Tree storm in, but so does the rest of the Rated FTRunners! The fans fire up as it is a 6v5 brawl, but the ref wants this to return to order! Rated FTRunners throw out Jericho, then they throw out Claudio, but Moxley falls back on his own. Bill and Dax take things outside, Cash keeps on Keith while Truth has Yuta, and Collision goes picture in picture!
The Outrunners mug Yuta while Cash climbs up to rain down fists on Keith! Things continue on the outside, Keith sends Cash into the railing! Dax KNEES Bill low, CLUBS him on the back, but Keith CLAWS Cash’s eyes! Turbo goes out there to CLUB Keith! Cash brings Keith around to SMACK off the railing! The fans get fired up as Cash CHOPS! Cash even high-fives the very excited kid up front. Keith says that kid needs to RESPECT Chris Jericho! Cash stands Keith up so the kid can CHOP him! Bill CLUBS Cash! Dax high-fives the kid, then goes back for Bill. The ref goes out and tells everyone to settle down!
Cope and the Outrunners also high-five the kid, and the teams finally go back to their corners. Turbo brings Yuta around, tags in Dax, and Dax kicks Yuta in the side. Dax bumps Yuta off buckles, then throws hands. Yuta counter punches, then he ROCKS Dax in the corner. Tag to Bill! Bill winds up to UPPERCUT Dax! Dax falls and crawls away, but Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers. Bill puts Dax against ropes and bends him back before he CLUBS him down! Bill fires a BODY SHOT, then soaks up more cheers and jeers. Dax kicks low, fires hands, then runs, but Marina trips him up! The ref missed that from arguing with Claudio!
Bill reels Dax in, hoists him up, and POWERBOMBS Dax down! Cover, Cope breaks it right as Maximum Carnage returns to single picture! The ref has to get everyone back again, and Bill protests. Bill drags Dax to a corner and stands on his neck! The ref counts, Bill steps off at 4, and Bill tags Jericho. The fans boo as Bill grabs Dax’s legs, YANKS him from the ropes, then stands him up. Jericho winds up to CHOP! Dax is stinging from that one, but Jericho brings Dax up again. Jericho whips Dax, Dax bumps Yuta! Yuta was too busy soaking up heat, but the Death Riders still look upset over that.
Jericho walks over, wants a tag, but Moxley thinks about it. Dax crawls, and Moxley finally tags in! The fans fire up as they want Moxley to go after Jericho, but Jericho brings up what he said earlier tonight. Moxley sees Dax is almost to his corner! Moxley gets Dax, reels him in, and lift shim up for a PILEDRIVER! Moxley drags Dax back, he tags Yuta, and Yuta drops a knee on Dax! Yuta soaks up heat, Keith ROCKS Dax, Bill ROCKS Dax, Claudio CHOKES Dax! The ref misses it all from dealing with Rated FTRunners! Yuta drops another KNEE, then he covers, TWO! Dax flounders but in the wrong direction!
Yuta drags Dax up, suplexes, then covers, TWO! Yuta keeps Dax down with a chinlock. The fans rally as Dax endures and fights up. Dax rises, fires body shots, then he shoves Yuta away. Dax catches Yuta to a SLEEPER! But Yuta powers out to catch Dax in a SLEEPER! Dax hits a back suplex, Yuta lands out, and Yuta POSTS Dax! FTRunners rally for Dax, but Yuta runs in! Dax dodges the knee to GERMAN SUPLEX! Yuta crawls, tag to Bill! Bill runs up, but Dax dodges again! Bill hits buckles then falls back! Dax crawls, hot tags to Cope and Jericho! Cope rallies on Jericho with shoulder tackle after shoulder tackle!
Cope whips, Jericho reverses, but Cope CLOBBERS him! Cope then gets around, COPE-A-SETIC! Cope BLASTS Moxley for good measure! Cope then aims at Jericho and the fans fire up! Jericho rises, Cope runs in, CODE BREAKER! Both men are down and the fans rally up! Cope and Jericho both crawl, hot tag to Turbo! Turbo rallies on Jericho with big haymakers! The fans fire up as Turbo scoops and SLAMS Jericho! Truth jumps in, Turbo scoops and SLAMS him onto Jericho! Keith runs in, but Truth scoops him to SLAM onto Jericho! Keith & Jericho are side-by-side, and Truth says, “TURBO FLOYD! YOU SONOVAB*TCH!”
THey shake hands, and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Claudio storms in to DOUBLE LARIAT! Cash runs in, and he LARIATS Claudio up and out! Yuta wrenches Cash to the PAIN THRILLER! Dax bobs ‘n’ weaves ‘n’ DDTS! Moxley CUTTERS Dax! Cope hits a THESZ PRESS and rains down fast hands! Moxley gets up, so Cope LARIATS him up and out! Bill BOOTS Cope! Dax & Cash sneak in, SHATTER- NO, Bill JABS free! Bill runs, but INTO A SHATTER MACHINE!!! FTR then brawls with Yuta & Claudio! Moxley CLAWS Cope’s eyes! Moxley underhooks but Cope wrenches out! IMPALER DDT on the ramp!!
The fans fire up while Moxley flounders, clutching his jaw! Marina has the briefcase and storms in! The ref stops Marina, Cope aims at Moxley! Cope runs, but into a BOOTÂ from The Bastard, Pac!! Pac was the ace in the hole for The Death Riders! The fans boo but Pac talks smack on Cope. But wait, now Claudio & Yuta have come in from the back, and they have a blindfold bag! They put it on Cope, then drag Cope from ramp to floor! But CASH CANNONBALLS IN! FTR has caught up to them and the brawl is on again! Cope and Yuta brawl, the Death Riders and Rated FTR brawl their way into the crowd! The fans go wild as the action is now in their laps!
All that is left is Jericho and Turbo! Jericho runs to LIONSAULT, but he FLOPS as Turbo moves! The fans fire up as Jericho crawls, and he reaches out for his corner. But Turbo has no one! WAIT! Hobbs is finally making his way out here!! He said himself that even if he has to hobble, he’d be part of this match! Hot tags to Keith and Hobbs! The Powerhouse CLOBBERS the Bad Apple! And CLOBBERS Jericho! And back to Keith! Hobbs TOSSES Jericho, then sends Keith into him! DOUBLE SPLASH! Hobbs keeps moving, and he DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLES them down! The fans fire up with Hobbs, but here comes Bill!
The fans fire up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Bill and Hobbs step to each other, and the haymakers start flying! The fans continue to chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs gets the edge, but Bill choke grips! Hobbs pries the grip away! Bill UPPERCUTS! Bill runs, but Hobbs TOSSES him! Jericho is up top, and he AX HANDLES Hobbs down! But then Turbo is there to scoop! Truth runs in, TOTAL RECALL on Jericho!

Hobbs LARIATS Keith down!
Hobbs brings the straps down and he says thumbs down! SPINEBUSTER for Keith! Cover, Hobbs wins for the team!
Winners: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, The Outrunners & Rated FTR, by pinfall
The Learning Tree tried to earn the Death Riders’ trust, but they only angered The Powerhouse! Will The Book of Hobbs still find his way back to a championship story in the New Year? And what of Rated FTR? Are they still brawling with The Death Riders somewhere in Cincinnati? Will they be brawling all the way to Knoxville this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, but with some obvious new examples of Tony Khan forgetting his own stories. The Undisputed Kingdom VS Shane Taylor Promotions was a great Six Man Tag, and a great win for Cole, Roddy & Kyle now that they’re all back together, but I guess The Conglomeration meant nothing to anyone in the end. Secondly, Daniel Garcia making the save is fine and all, but why’re we pivoting away from how Garcia is friends with Private Party and should be helping them with The Hurt Syndicate? Not to mention, Shelton and Garcia still have beef from the C2 to settle, aka a TNT Championship match. Hurt Syndicate had a good promo, and it’s really hard to think Private Party retains the tag titles.
Back to Garcia, IÂ do appreciate we’re getting back to him teaming with Menard & Parker, and we’ll have a fun Six Man Tag for Homecoming, but I feel like Undisputed Kingdom wins again. We’ll probably get the Kingdom member who scores the fall challenging for the TNT Championship, so maybe like Kyle VS Garcia, but even that should be a one-off. If The Kingdom wants to be the “best trio” in AEW, that means they want the trios titles, and that means running afoul of The Death Riders, who already have Rated FTR after them. I suppose the easiest solution is just for Claudio, Yuta & Pac to defend against both teams in some kind of wild Trios match, but it’s hard to say if TK can sort out a mess like that.
There’s also the ROH World Six Man titles, but it doesn’t seem like The Von Erichs ever leave Texas. And All In: Texas is the big attraction for the Summer, so I can’t imagine “The Sons of Texas” losing in Texas… Well, that’s a problem to be solved later, we still got a good match from Dustin Rhodes tonight, but then that was about it. I was expecting someone from the ROH side to call him out for the tag titles, but nope. Gates of Agony had a very good promo to put a challenge of their own out there, and I suppose since they want the best possible, TK wasn’t going to short change them. Brody & Buddy having a match for Homecoming could help them introduce their new team name that is no longer House of Black related, given Malakai Black seems on his way out for real this time.
Speaking of, Julia had a very good match with Harley and got a very good win out of it. Julia still seems to be working the rust off but she can definitely find her way back to a title. If it’s Mercedes Mone still as TBS Champion, Julia isn’t winning. And even then, whoever beats Mone isn’t losing to Julia… Toni Storm had a good promo with Schiavone, especially the subtle way she stopped Schiavone from bringing up her past with Mariah. Whether this is a delusion or a deception, that will surely come to a head next week when Toni and Mariah meet face to face. I am really going to enjoy the moment Toni finally says, “How DARE you!” again.
Very good tag match of Murder Machines VS Top Flight, but of course Archer & Cage were going to win. They need their own momentum, for starters, and also they’re just massive. Depending on how the tag title match goes, I could see the Murder Machines going after Private Party, or even stepping to the Hurt Syndicate to make that the next phase of the Don Callis Family story. Ospreay had a good promo to bring up that feud, and I would think Ospreay’s chat with Omega next week is to make an alliance so that they can take on The Don Callis Family. Then as I said on Wednesday, we can get Ospreay & Omega VS Murder Machines first, then Ospreay & Omega VS Kyle & Konosuke after that.
Hangman VS Daniels was an awesome Texas Death Match, just a little bit short of the matches Hangman has had with Swerve. But even so, Daniels looked awesome, even with how he was bleeding and beat up. Hangman wins, of course, and he could go after just about anyone after this. And if this is Daniels’ sendoff as an in-ring competitor, what a way to go out, #ThankYouCD. Speaking of Swerve, he’s of course going to be hunting Ricochet, and the three weeks until Dynamite Atlanta will be some interesting ones. But I feel like they could’ve instead kayfabed that each week is meant to have Ricochet VS Swerve, Ricochet keeps ducking Swerve, and then TK takes an onscreen role to say enough is enough, Ricochet HAS to face Swerve in Atlanta, last warning.
Okada VS Ishii was a great match, and Okada sure hit all his usuals. Okada cheating to get the win is fitting of this Heel persona, but it’s hard to say where he’s going after this. Part of me wonders if Hobbs can step to him given how strong he’s getting to look lately. Good promo from Hobbs & Rated FTRunners, and I do commend Learning Tree for attacking after as a way of trying to win over The Death Riders. It didn’t work out, obviously, as Hobbs gets to look even stronger. Rated FTR and Death Riders brawling out of the building to take themselves out of the equation was smart, too, keeps them from being part of the math once Hobbs “heroically” goes out there and wins it for the Faces. Hobbs VS Okada would be an awesome match, and the promos oughta be fun, too.
My Score: 8.8/10
