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!

Kyle ROCKS Mortos, ELBOWS Daivari, then runs up, but both Nese & Daivari catch him! They throw him back, but Kyle dodges, hot tag to Mark! Mark fires off Redneck Kung-Fu on the Premier Athletes!

Daivari TOSSES Hologram, but Kyle fires off a strike fest on Daivari! The KNEE sends Daivari out, and then Kyle goes out! FLYING KNEE! Down goes Daivari, but then Nese ROUNDHOUSES and LEG SWEEPS Kyle! Nese runs to FOSBURY FLOP! Down goes Kyle, but Hologram DIVES! Direct hit and the fans are thunderous! 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!

Winners: Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Hologram, by pinfall

That was a battle to be sure, but- MORTOS SPEARS HOLOGRAM! The fans boo as Mortos beats up on all of them! Mark CLOBBERS Mortos with the ROH World Championship belt! Then Kyle & Mark DOUBLE LARIAT Mortos outta there! Kyle says he wants a 1v1 with Mortos! When and where will #CombatKyle look to slay the beast?

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.

Yuta scoops Henry, SLAMS him, and then snarls as he SENTONS, only to miss! Henry ROCKS Yuta, but Yuta rewind- NO, Yuta’s focus is so bad, he falls to the floor! Henry WRECKS Yuta with a dropkick! 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.

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.

My Score: 8.8/10
