Or will the Bunkhouse soon belong to Boston?

Now this was a Collision! Bloody and bruised but standing tall, will no team be able to stop Dustin & Sammy from running ROH?
Backstage interview with Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Holo.grm.
Lexy Nair is with The Conglomeration and their honorary amigo, but before she can even really start, The Premier Athletes barge in! Ariya Daivari says what Lexy should really be doing is interviewing the premier half of this match. And Mark Sterling says that’s his team. Something happened yesterday at city hall. The Mayor of Springfield personally told Mark Sterling that today is now AEW Day. Sterling was offered the chance to make it just Premier Athletes Day, but he said no, give it to the entire company because that’s just how giving Sterling is.
They’re in Sterling’s hometown, and he’s gonna make sure there are no shenanigans out there! And he will not allow Kyle O’Reilly to get him in the privates again. Mark Briscoe repeats, “Shenanigans? Shenanigans?” Well that’s funny, because even in the midst of these three scallywags, Mark only sees one single shenanigator, and that is Sterling! What?! Kyle asks if “Shenanigator” is that the word of the day. Mark says close, but also way off. The word of the day is, “Equalizer!” It’s AZUCAR~! Rocky Romero steps in now and he says there is only one way to equalize shenanigans, and that is with Azucar~!
Sterling says alright, save it for the ring. The Premier Athletes all promise to see The Conglomeration and friends out there, but will they be able to shenanigate their way out of this one?
AEW receives a special message.
The AEW Dynamite five-year anniversary, 10/2/24, get ready for more D M D! Britt Baker is going to return for the first time since All In, but who will see The Doctor in that ring?
Backstage interview with The Dark Order.
Lexy Nair is with Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds, and notes that Player One will be facing Darby Allin ahead of the big match at Grand Slam against Jon Moxley. Oh, yes, a BIG~ match! HUGE~! ENORMOUS~! But also hilarious. We’re already talking as if Uno isn’t facing Darby tonight. Well, Darby steps in and tells Uno that yeah, they’re having a fight. But can’t they see what is happening? There is a war coming. Didn’t they see what happened to Private Party? Moxley thinks Private Party are just a couple jokes. Moxley thinks the same of Dark Order. And he thinks the same of Darby Allin.
But Darby Allin isn’t gonna lay down and die. The Dark Order can do that, play their video games, do their dumb skits, but not Darby. They’ll fight tonight, and Darby shows the difference between him and Uno. Darby won’t lay down and die, he’s gonna lead the way into the future as the NEXT AEW World Champion. “Remind me what you’re capable of! Remind me that you still have that dog in you! Cuz I don’t see it anymore! All I see is someone collecting a paycheck and coasting! You have been on cruise control for too long, remind me what you can do!” Darby then takes a chug of water, and he gets in Uno’s face!
Darby tells Uno to fight him tonight, because this isn’t a joke anymore! Darby has Uno all riled up, will these two tear each other apart?
Six Man Tag: Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Holo.grm w/ Rocky Romero VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
We heard from these teams backstage, now it is time to put up or shut up! Will The #Hologlomeration be blazing a trail through the AEW Trios Division? Or will Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari & Josh Woods prove they’re not just their potential?
Sterling of course takes the introductions because everyone knows who they are, “especially the people of Springfield.” Must be why they’re booing… Sterling reminds us that today has been declared AEW Day in Springfield. And also, Sterling was given the key to the city! Which he has to say, it doesn’t even work! They’ve been treated so poorly since they got here, they cannot wait to get outta this crap town and go to somewhere like New York! Springfield, you can redeem yourselves. Join in the cheer, “Athletes” and “Rule!” NOT “Suck!” Hands in, boys. Oh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Yeah that never works out.
The trios sort out and The Violent Artist starts against The Technical Beast. The bell rings, Woods shoves Kyle so Kyle shoves back. Kyle avoids a boot, Woods blocks a kick but Kyle ROCKS him! Kyle ducks a kick, headlocks, but Woods powers up to headlock takeover! ARMBAR! Kyle moves around, stacks, TWO, but Kyle has the ARMBAR! Woods fights to get a KNEEBAR, but then Kyle has an ANKLE LOCK! Woods grabs the ROPEBREAK! Kyle lets off slowly. Kyle eggs Woods on, they reset and tie up, and then Woods kicks low!

Hologram wrenches an arm, tags Kyle, and Kyle takes the handoff, only for Nese to ROCK Kyle! Kyle ROCKS Nese, Nese ROCKS Kyle, repeat! Nese throat chops and the ref reprimands. Nese runs, into a KNEE! Kyle snapmares Nese, but Sterling gets on the apron! Kyle storms up but Sterling says he hasn’t done anything yet!
The Conglomeration protests, the ref stops them from getting in, and Woods CLOBBERS Kyle! The fans boo as now Sterling and The Premier Athletes stomp away on Kyle! Rocky storms up and Sterling runs away! The fans rally for Kyle while Collision goes picture in picture.
Rocky coaches Kyle up, but Nese runs Rocky off. Kyle rolls into the ring, Nese slides in after him. Nese stomps Kyle to keep him from The Conglomeration. Nese bumps Kyle off buckles, tags Daivari, and they mug Kyle with haymakers! The ref counts, The Premier Athletes let off, and Daivari snapmares Kyle into a chinlock.

MXM Collection speak.
Mansoor & Mason Madden wait, then POSE! And Mansoor says just last night, they promised an extreme makeover of Max Caster’s jacket. Mason says that is what they have done! They hold up the garment bag by its coat hanger. Wanna see what’s inside? Wanna see Mansoor pull this zipper all the way down? Wanna see them whip it out right now? BUT NO! Mansoor zips it back up and almost clips Mason’s (finger) tip. MXM’s Magnum Opus can’t come so soon. That would be premature. Exactly one week from tonight, Collision Grand Slam, Arthur Ashe Stadium, MXM Collection presents the Grand Slam Finale to New York Fashion Week.
And get your Acclaimed ready, because Max Caster’s new jacket will be the star of the show! And it will be something everyone actually loves. MXM laugh and touch tips, but just what have they down to the best jacket of The Best Wrestler Alive?
Mariah May VS Lady Frost!
The Glamour says she still wants Mina, but she will be getting Yuka Sakazaki at Grand Slam, and she is getting the Coolest Wrestler You Know here tonight! Will Mariah freeze up in Springfield? Or will Frost be crying “MAYDAY!” after this Collision?
The bell rings and Mariah doesn’t even take Frost seriously. The fans rally for Frost, but Mariah waves hi to Nigel on commentary. Nigel has to back up before he falls out of his seat!

Mariah positions Frost just right, CHOPS her again, then runs up for some STRATUSFACTION! Then a SHOTGUN! Frost ends up in the other corner, Mariah winks and flirts through the camera.

Frost goes up and up, Mariah stands, into the SKY TWISTER! Cover, TWO! Frost keeps cool, the fans rally, and Frost fires forearms!

Mariah grins, but Frost rises! To GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up as both women rise, and Mariah HEADBUTTS! Frost wobbles but so does Mariah! Mariah then runs to KNEE Frost down! Mariah roars, reels Frost in, STORM ZERO!! Cover, Mariah wins!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to parody Toni Storm, but she made it through the Frost. Will she tear down the Wrestling Magical Girl as well? Or will we have a new champion before Mariah ever gets to properly celebrate?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision: Grand Slam!
After the chaos on last Wednesday Night Dynamite, The Conglomeration is going to settle things with The Learning Tree once and for all! Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe & Kyle O’Reilly take on Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey in a TORNADO TRIOS MATCH! Will Freshly Squeezed and friends finally cut down all the Branches? Or is there no escaping the Jericho Vortex?
Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Lexy Nair is with The Babe with the Power, and says we haven’t seen her in AEW since the brutal defeat by Kris Statlander at All Out. How is she doing? Still in a lot of pain, her back is tight, but hey, at least she doesn’t have to deal with Stokely Hathaway anymore, so silver lining to the loss. But in all seriousness, life is full of ups and downs, and she is just moving forward. And she is so excited to hear her friend, Yuka Sakazaki, is going after the title. But then in steps Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie. The Virtuosa says Willow must not understand the implications of the word, “Friend.” Because if Willow did, she would’ve been there for Yuka on Wednesday.
If Willow had any sense of loyalty, she wouldn’t just be watching Grand Slam closely, she’d be in Yuka’s corner. But if Willow isn’t willing to do that, they are. Deonna then tells Yuka through the camera that she is offering protection. She is going to show Yuka the generosity she has shown Taya. This is the biggest match of Yuka’s career. Deonna may be from New Jersey, but her connections run strong in New York. Um, Willow’s actually from New York, so… Taya steps in and asks if Willow is insulting them by interrupting them. Taya will enter Willow’s state and kick her ass! Willow has an idea, and one that the fans here in Massachusetts will love!
Friday Night Rampage, Willow VS Taya 1v1! Taya says alright, fine! Taya storms off, Deonna smirks, but is Willow getting herself in trouble with the wrong ones?
The Acclaimed speak.
Billy Gunn tells MXM to listen. Max Caster says, “Takin’ jacket without askin’ me? That’s so dastardly! It’s so brash to me. You himbos walk around like Fashion Week, lookin’ like you shop on Temu, your fashion’s weak! You get a jacket, you’re jackin’ our style up. Doin’ finger stuff to get the crowd riled up. Of course they were checkin’ the vibe, they wanna dress like the Best Wrestler Alive! And that’s a mic drop!” Anthony Bowens says “That’s right! MXM, it’s time to nut up or shut up. Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed!” Platinum Max, The Five Tool Player & Daddy Ass have put MXM on notice, will they give the jacket back before it’s too late?
Darby Allin VS Evil Uno w/ Alex Reynolds!
Speaking of ultimatums, The Relentless One gave one to Player One, and now they go 1v1, but Alex Reynolds is still by Uno’s side. Will Darby be ready to go wild against The Maniac after he and Uno fight it out?
The bell rings, the fans rally, and Reynolds slithers in. Darby stares him down, but Uno DECKS Darby! Uno drags Darby up, Darby fights but Uno RAMS him into a corner! Uno CHOPS, CLUBS and repeat! The fans fire up but the ref counts so Uno lets off. But then Uno DECKS Darby again! Reynolds steps in again, the ref stops him, and that lets Uno take off his belt! Uno LASHES Darby with it! The fans are torn while Darby writhes. The ref notices the belt now, though! Uno says okay, he’ll put it down. But then Darby hops on! CODE RED! Uno bails out, Darby builds speed, and Darby DIVES! Direct hit into railing!
Darby glares at Reynolds, CLAWS at Uno’s mask, and he rains down fists! Darby dribbles Uno off railing, then snarls as he storms around. Darby drags Uno up by his mask, but again Reynolds gets closer! Uno takes advantage and trips Darby up! Uno rolls into the ring, argues with the ref, but Reynolds CLOBBERS Darby! The fans boo this unofficial Handicap Match but Reynolds talks a lot of trash. Uno storms out, and runs up, to CANNONBALL Darby again the steel steps! And then he throws Darby into the other steps! Darby staggers up, and Uno POUNCES him into railing! Uno is seething a he storms up on Darby.
Uno puts Darby in, runs up and BOOTS him down! Uno drags Darby up, reels him in, and hits a PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO!! The fans rally as Darby survives, but Uno mockingly asks if this is what he wanted. Uno drags Darby up, reels him in, and hooks him up for SOMETHING- NO, Darby slips free, BACK2BACKBREAKER, into the BULLY CHOKE! That’s Moxley’s favorite hold! Uno fights up, but Darby wrangles him back down! Uno endures, fights, but Darby squeezes tight! Uno still gets the ROPEBREAK! Darby lets off, just to throw hands! Darby RIPS the mask, and BITES Uno’s face! Reynolds distracts, Uno runs and BUCKLE BOMBS Darby!
Uno clinches, FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and Uno argues with the ref. Darby goes to the apron, Uno drags him up, but Darby CLAWS Uno’s eyes! The ref counts, Darby CLUBS and sunset flips, but Reynolds helps Uno stay up! Darby lets off, runs and dodges Uno to DIVE onto Reynolds! The fans fire up, Darby LASHES Reynolds with that belt! And again! And again! Uno runs out to CANNONBALL but only gets floor! Darby hurries up, and up, and he SUPER COFFIN DROPS! Down goes Uno and the fans fire up! Darby drags Uno into the ring while the fans rally, and Darby goes up again! COFFIN DROP!! Cover, Darby wins!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall
That was most certainly a fight, and Uno certainly brought that fire, but Darby is just that much wilder. Will he be too much even for Jon Moxley? Or is Darby going to lose his shot at the AEW World Championship?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Renee Paquette was with both Jeff & Karen Jarrett, and brings up Double J vowing that if it’s the last thing he does in his career, he will end Hangman Page. Things are escalating, and that’s clear by Jarrett’s foul mood. Jarrett says he is sick of it! Renee wants to ask Karen, wife to wife, she doesn’t want Jeff to take on Hangman. Of course not! Hangman is literally- Jeff says Hangman heard him loud and clear! He said somehow, someway, somewhere, so why not make that New York City and Grand Slam in Arthur Ashe! Hangman wants to talk about taking down those who stood in Hangman’s way? Then how about we get all those people down in the ring!
Let’s do it the Last Outlaw way! Jarrett VS Hangman. Jarrett doesn’t need to beat Hangman’s ass 1-2-3. He just has to beat Hangman’s brains out and get him outta the ring! What Jarrett wants, that’s right, Hangman! Jarrett slaps the wall with a strap, because it will be a LUMBERJACK STRAP MATCH!! Eight guys waiting outside that ring, from Dark Order to Bang Bang Gang, to Conglomeration and Jarrett’s boys, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh! All eight of those men, and then a four foot long, four inch wide leather strap! No syringes, no cinderblocks. They do it the way Jarrett was brought up! His favorite of all was a strap to beat someone’s back ’til the flesh was coming off ’em!
Jarrett says he has had it with Hangman, and his derangement, his ego. So Wednesday night, it is all going down! And with God as Jarrett’s witness, he whoops Hangman’s freakin’ ass!! The Last Outlaw is ready for one last ride, will he be riding off into the sunset? Or will the Black Hat Cowboy put Jarrett out to pasture?
Queen Aminata VS Serena Deeb!
Given the tag team match alongside Yuka Sakazaki and Mariah May did not settle a thing, the One True African Woman and The Professor need to handle this themselves! Will Aminata prove she doesn’t need any of Serena’s lessons? Or will there be no mercy in Deeb’s Dojo?

Deeb gets away, and the fans applaud this opening exchange.

The fans rally but Deeb headlocks. Aminata powers up and out, but Deeb RAMS her! Aminata doesn’t move and the fans fire up. Deeb runs, Aminata drops down, and then Aminata runs up, only for hip toss to become arm-drag! Deeb then uses that to get the legs, and a SEATED SURFBOARD! Aminata endures as Deeb rocks the boat! Deeb lets go, waits on Aminata, and the fans rally up. Deeb runs in, and she LARIATS in the corner! Deeb whips corner to corner, but Aminata goes up and over!

Um, sure. Harley, the list. Harley brings a paper out of her boot, and unfolds it. Rule One: There are no rules, aside from the following. Rule Two: You cannot use weapons, unless you are Saraya. Rule Three: You must obey the 10 count, unless you are Saraya. Rule Four: No biting, choking, clawing, closed fists, hair pulling or groin kicking, unless you are Saraya.
Rule Five: NO… hammerlocks. Saraya never liked those anyway. Rule Six: No outside interference, unless you are a friend of Saraya’s. Rule Seven: No ropebreaks, unless you are Saraya. Rule Eight: The match must begin with offense from Saraya. Rule Nine: Jamie Hayter is a slag. That’s not even- Rule Ten: The winner receives an autographed copy of Saraya’s autobiography, available for preorder now. Yes, straightforward, isn’t it? “So, Jamie, baby girl, make sure you learn those rules, okay?” Harley then eats the paper so as to… Oh whatever, she’s crazy. But so are these rules! Does Hayter stand a chance with this deck stacked against her?
Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara.
Lexy congratulates them on retaining the ROH World Tag Team Championships, and Dustin thanks Sammy. Sammy thanks Dustin, and Dustin says Sammy is one of the greatest tag team partners he’s ever had. The Spanish God & The Natural are Bunkhouse Kings. Sammy says it is an honor to tag with Dustin. Both men have had setback after setback in their careers, but it is nights like tonight that make it all worth it. They can be down on their luck one day and turn it all around. And heck, this is #DustinTwoBelts! Sammy is motivated, he wants a second belt! He is issuing a challenge!
Sammy wants a match for Grand Slam. It’ll be a Title Eliminator against KAZUCHIKA OKADA! Continental Rules! And while Okada’s one of the best, Sammy’s gonna do his best to beat him. And by Heaven’s chance that Sammy does, Sammy will then get to challenge Okada for the Continental Championship on the Dynamite Anniversary Show! Sammy had the very first match on Dynamite, and five years later, Sammy is ready to beat Okada for a title. Dustin asks Sammy, how many times has he been knocked down. More times than he can count. And how many times has he gotten up? Every single time!
Dustin says Sammy has more heart and soul than half this roster. Dustin believes in Sammy, and Sammy just has to go crazy and have fun. Hell yeah! They fist bump, will The Sons of Texas soon become a Two Man Power Trip? Or will The Rainmaker make it rain on Sammy’s parade?

El Toro Blanco makes a powerful return to AEW, and surely Don Callis is somewhere happy to see this. Will Callis still convince Rush to make the Family tranquilo?
Serena Deeb speaks.
“Are we done talking about all the people that aren’t even here tonight? Why don’t we talk about the people that are? Why don’t we talk about The Professor? And how The Professor, tonight on Collision, beat the hell out of Queen Aminata, just like I said I would. Now let’s fast forward, the Dynamite fifth-year anniversary is coming up, and I’ve been hearing rumblings that a certain DMD is thinking about popping her head in. Well, Britt. You’re gonna be there, and The Professor is gonna be there, so it only makes sense that we have a match. I’ll propose this to you now, and I’ll wait for your answer.
“But Britt, it’s only if you’re down to get your ass beat in your own hometown.” Deeb smiles, will The Doctor be more than ready to fight in #Brittsburgh?
Nigel McGuinness is on stage.
Wearing a “BRYAN FEARS NIGEL” shirt, holding a mic, he tells the world, “A week and a half ago on Dynamite, the world saw me challenge Bryan Danielson to face me at Arthur Ashe Stadium. And true to form, the American Coward, Benign Danielson, has refused to answer my challenge. The AEW World Champion, a representative for this company. How pathetic! And what’s even worse is this clam digger, hiding behind this fake injury, when the truth of the matter is… Bryan FEARS Nigel!” Nigel says if Bryan isn’t gonna do it for Nigel, or for himself, or even for his family, assuming they aren’t embarrassed of him anymore… You should do it for the fans!”
The fans do cheer that, and Nigel says the truth is, while the fans all cheer Bryan, they identify with NIGEL! And if you deny Nigel, then you deny the fans! Schiavone speaks up, and says this needs to be said. He has been working alongside Nigel for the past year as broadcast partners, and Schiavone has heard all the things Nigel has said about Bryan each and every week, every single broadcast. And Schiavone knows what Nigel is trying to do here, what he is trying to do to Bryan. Bryan feels the fans are the reason he continues to fight. Nigel’s claims are ridiculous! Bryan Danielson is NOT afraid of Nigel McGuinness, and everyone here would agree!
Schiavone says Bryan is not yet cleared to wrestle! If he was, he would get in the ring with Nigel right now! We find out at Grand Slam IF Bryan is cleared, but it is not about being afraid. Schiavone will say this about Bryan. Schiavone has been part of pro-wrestling for the better part of five DECADES. Bryan Danielson is the greatest professional wrestler I have ever seen, I have ever called, in my career.” Nigel has Schiavone stop, and says Schiavone has to be one of the luckiest SOBs Nigel has ever seen. Because if ANYBODY ELSE had said those words, spitting on Nigel’s soul, he’d be knocking their head off!
Nigel tells Schiavone not to tempt fate. If he has an ounce of respect left for Nigel, then he better go sit down and shut up! The fans boo but Schiavone goes back to the desk. Nigel says the others might be drinking the #Cowardade, but Nigel’s not. Nigel tells Bryan that he doesn’t care whether Bryan does it for Nigel, for himself, for the family or for all these fans in the world! On Wednesday night, Bryan needs to walk down this ramp, up these steps, and meet Nigel in the middle of this ring for the FINAL CHAPTER of their rivalry!! The fans fire up for that! “Because it is MY DESTINY!!
“Ever since I had retired, I have told anyone who would listen…! Shouting at the moon! Like a lunatic! Saying I was as good as you, Bryan!!” The fans start booing now, but Nigel says nobody, NOBODY, listened! NOBODY believed! And why would they? Because the truth of the matter is, there are only two people in the world today who know that what Nigel is saying is true! Those people are Nigel, and Bryan! And that is EXACTLY WHY Bryan has refused ot answer this challenge!! Bryan knows if he shows up in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Nigel will beat Bryan, destroy him, and finally have vindication!!
The fans are torn, but Nigel says once again, Bryan is taking the one thing Nigel deserves. But this time, it doesn’t matter. This time, even if Bryan doesn’t show up, Nigel will be vindicated. Because the world will know why! The ball is still in Bryan’s court! And quite simply, Nigel hopes Bryan chooses Option A and shows up. Because if there is a God in heaven, this will happen!! And if there’s not, well, then may the DEVIL hear Nigel’s prayers!! The ROH icon is as furious as he’s ever been. Will Nigel get one last battle with The American Dragon? Or will he have to settle for a moral victory?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here as a final go-home to the BIG Grand Slam week, though it felt like a talkier episode than usual. Really good promo from Jarrett, though he was maybe playing up his anger a little too much, he was rather haphazard with when he slapped the wall. And a Lumberjack Strap Match combo, with win by ring out, that is definitely old school, not something I’ve ever seen, that will be a lot of fun. Good promo from Willow with Deonna & Taya, though they absolutely ignored Willow losing the CMLL Women’s Championship. Willow VS Taya set for Rampage is good stuff. Now, from how it’s not being called Grand Slam Rampage, I think it’s being taped here in Springfield, as doing FOUR hours on the same night in Arthur Ashe is a lot as it is.
Very good promos from MXM and Acclaimed, and I kinda want this to be like, a ladder match with the jacket hanging up as the prize. But at the same time, the “makeover” will probably be revealed to incite Caster and give us a reason for a match. Great promos to hype matches tonight, too. Darby getting after Uno was good, but as other promos in AEW have gone, it was maybe one statement too long. There are times when less is more. But really good match, with Darby of course winning, even with Reynolds getting involved. And another great promo from Conglomeration, even with Premier Athletes being part of that. But great win for Conglomeration and Hologram to then feed into the Tornado Trios match for Collision next week.
Great promo from The Outcasts to give us “Saraya’s Rules.” I knew they were gonna be biased in Saraya’s favor but those went the extra mile. Saraya is given the opening shot, can do whatever she wants, can have Harley do whatever she wants, etc. so it’ll end up a Handicap Match. Hayter surely still finds a way to win, and she might even move on to the TBS Championship for WrestleDream. Mariah and Mina is of course the given story for the world title, and Mone needs someone to face, so Hayter would make for a great choice. Speaking of Mariah, good match from Mariah VS Frost, and I appreciate there’s this continued flirting from Mariah with Nigel.
Awesome match from Aminata VS Deeb, and a great win for Deeb here. Deeb had a good response promo to the quick Britt Baker tease, and that will be a great match for the anniversary show that can definitely help someone pursue a title. As such, it’ll surely be Britt’s win in Britt’s hometown, and she’ll probably challenge for the world title on the other side of Mariah VS Mina, as I still expect Mariah to retain the title. And if Britt and Hayter are each going for titles, there could be some reference to their past, and they could compete with each other over who gets a title first.
That Bunkhouse Brawl was awesome stuff to open with, and with those tables set up beforehand, it was like they were just appearing outta nowhere to take those spots. I figured Dustin & Sammy would retain, but what a surprise that Sammy wants after Okada and the Continental Championship. I suppose the ROH titles weren’t gonna work out, as Sammy being Face means he isn’t calling out Mark Briscoe or Atlantis Jr, and no sense pivoting to a feud against Shane Taylor Promotions just yet. Plus, Sammy could surely win the Title Eliminator, but then he gives Okada the win back for the Dynamite anniversary show.
That 10 Man Tag was really good stuff, good teamwork on all sides, and it was very smart to have Roddy and Hook take themselves out of the equation so that we can’t really get a read on their FTW Championship match go-home math. But given The Kingdom can help Roddy cheat in an FTW Rules match, I’m leaning towards Roddy just a touch. Great stuff seeing Outrunners use Shatter Machine, that could be a story in itself. But in surprising fashion, it was FTR who took the pin, to Rush! Great way for Rush to return to AEW, I really hope his story with the Don Callis Family gets going again, which would help with Ospreay & Fletcher becoming United Empire again.
And a great promo from Nigel to close the show, but it felt like he was dragging it out for some reason. We were already going into overrun, I don’t think he needed to stretch that much. But I suppose he just wanted to make sure he got all his points across. Great exchange with him and Schiavone, that tension shows how much this match means to Nigel and how Schiavone is kinda voicing a side of the argument that Nigel’s just bitter and keeps taking his jabs. I almost thought we were getting Bryan’s music or a video message from him, but we’ll still just have to wait the “surprise” on Wednesday night. I mean, it’s just standard storytelling for Nigel to think Bryan’s no-showing, then we get Final Countdown, and then we get that killer match.
My Score: 8.8/10

Davis throws hands, Kyle gets up, and Davis runs up! Kyle dodges and Konosuke DECKS Davis!

Ospreay freaks out, Kyle SUPERKICKS Ospreay out of the ring! Then Kyle DIVES onto Ospreay! Konosuke brings down his kneepad, aims at Davis, POWER DRIVE KNEE!!! Cover, Don Callis Family wins!!
Winners: The Don Callis Family, by pinfall
The Alpha stands tall over Davis as friendly fire takes out Ospreay’s team. But what happens when things divide into 1v1 matches? Will Konosuke still be International Champion after he and Ricochet go #OuttaThisWorld? Will Kyle prove that he IS The Protostar after tearing down Will Ospreay?
Jon Moxley & The Death Riders speak.
“Despite recent discoveries that Orange Cassidy is a snake, coldblooded, uncaring, unmoving, a serpent lurking in the darkest corners of the battlefield, my objective remains the same, my job on Saturday night remains the same. You may be this borderline sociopath, you may be a great guy just like everybody thinks. I don’t care if you’re a great guy. I don’t care what kind of person you are. When the bell rings on Saturday night, and the AEW World Championship hangs in the balance, you are a threat to my people. And I will destroy you.
“There’s so much more going on behind Orange Cassidy’s eyes than any of us could’ve imagined. You may make it to Full Gear with your mind in tact, but your body… For that matter, Darby Allin’s body… Still up for grabs.” Claudio jumps in, speaking in German about what he’ll do to Darby. Then in English, he says, “Tonight, I’m gonna end you.” Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder. Will The Maniac’s top henchmen do his dirty work for him when they dismantle Cassidy & Darby? Or will it just be fuel on the fire for Freshly Squeezed & The Relentless One? Speaking of…
Darby Allin speaks.
“Claudio, I’m gonna keep this really short. Let’s not forget you’re the one who put the chair around Bryan’s neck and pulled the trigger on his career. Every single one of you Death Riders will have your day. And Claudio, today’s your day.” Will Moxley’s men be dealt with in brutal fashion before he suffers the same?
The Hurt Syndicate arrive.
Renee Paquette waits in the parking lot as an SUV pulls up, and she welcomes Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley to the show. She heard MVP has a surprise in store, what’s he got planned? MVP says yes, there is a special treat for the AEW audience, and that is this announcement: The All Mighty Bobby Lashley will be in action here tonight on Dynamite in Reading, Pennsylvania, prior to his PPV debut on Saturday! Renee asks if MVP is at all concerned to put Lashley in a match- OH NO, Swerve attacks!! Swerve knocks Lashley over, then laughs as he gets away!
Shelton helps Lashley up but that ambush might’ve been with Swerve’s own silver chain. Will Lashley elect not to compete tonight after all? Or is he about to make an example out of whatever poor soul is put in front of him?
Adam Cole is here!
Reading fires up as the Panama City Playboy makes his way to the ring. They join in with the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Reading sure is ready! Cole wishes so so badly that he could get his hands on MJF this Saturday, but he’s not. MJF did everything in his power to make sure he and Cole didn’t fight on Saturday, and he succeeded. But do you know who else succeeded last week? Roderick Strong did! The fans cheer as Cole says he and Roddy have the exact same goal: Give MJF the ass whooping of a lifetime! And that is exactly what happens at Full Gear!
The fans cheer, and wait, Kyle O’Reilly makes his way out here. The longtime friend of Cole & Roddy makes his way out here, and already has a mic. Kyle isn’t sure if Cole remembers, but 14 years ago, right here in Reading, PA, Cole and Kyle had their second match ever against each other. They’ve come a long way. Being associated with Cole has given Kyle some incredible highs, and some serious lows. And through those lows, Kyle knows Cole better than anyone. Which makes Kyle the only one willing to tell Cole the truth. The truth is, this crusade against MJF has got to end before someone gets hurt.
This obsession, Cole needs to wash his hands of it. His ankle has already been reconstructed, what’s next? Cole has friends willing to take a bullet for him, Kyle included, but Cole has got to stop having his friends fight his battles. Roddy barely makes it out alive last week, and now he wants to fight MJF! He wants to END MJF, all because of Cole. Kyle just doesn’t have a good feeling about any of this. Cole asks Kyle what he’s trying to say here. Kyle doesn’t think Roddy can handle MJF? Kyle asks Cole if he really thinks MJF isn’t already three steps ahead. MJF hasn’t been here for weeks but he’s pulling all the strings.
Cole should know that dealing with MJF is like playing with fire, and Kyle doesn’t wanna see his friends get burned. Cole needs to realize why so many of his friends are willing to go to war for him, and it’s because he is a great leader, an elite pro-wrestler, and a great friend, who doesn’t wanna see his friends get hurt. At least, so Kyle thinks. But Cole has to face facts: MJF is more of an evil bastard than Cole will ever be, and that is a good thing. Kyle drops his mic and walks away. Cole drops his mic, and has a lot to think about. Does Kyle have a point? Can Cole just let Roddy handle MJF and then move on?
Orange Cassidy speaks.
“A little later tonight, I’m gonna make an example out of you, Wheeler Yuta. And I’m gonna show everybody exactly what I’m gonna do this Saturday to you, Jon Moxley. And that’s walk down to that ring and beat you, alone.” But The Conglomeration steps in. Mark Briscoe has Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii with him as he asks Cassidy, “What sense does that make, man?” Moxley said himself, there’s five Death Riders, one Cassidy. Conglomeration has his back, they are here for him. Cassidy says no, no one else needs to get hurt. Get hurt? What’s Cassidy talking about? The Conglomeration are ready to scrap!
PLEASE!! Cassidy is asking them… They don’t have to believe him or even understand him. But just promises him they’ll stay back here. If Cassidy insists, then so be it. Cassidy says there you have it, Jon. Five of you, one of him. Do what you’re gonna do. Because at Full Gear, Moxley’s gonna need all the help he can get. Cassidy is himself wanting the best for his friends, but will that work out for the betterment of AEW? Or is he just playing into Moxley’s hands?
Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida!
The #BornAgainKristen bodied the bullies that are Mercedes Mone & Kamille the last time she saw them, but she still needs to tune up for Full Gear.

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Shida gave Kris a powerful match, but clearly Shida has to iron out her own crisis of confidence. Kris still shows Shida respect by helping her up. But wait, here comes Mercedes Mone & Kamille! The fans boo The CEO & Brickhouse but Mone has a mic. “Readiiiiing~! Say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. Mone asks Kamille if she wants to hear a fun fact about Pennsylvania. The 76ers have had yet another terrible season! Embarrassing~! But shoutouts to Mone’s Celtics for another incredible victory. The fans boo Boston but Mone says another person with an incredible win was Kris Statlander. Mone is rarely impressed by her competition.
Does anyone else want to hear another fun fact? “NO!!” Well, Mone has held the TBS Championship longer than Kris! So at Full Gear, Mone will NOT lose, because she is The CEO, the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And she will NEVER lose this title! Fans tell The CEO to STFU, but Mone tells Kamille go get the job done! She is so pissed off! GO! NOW! Kamille walks up the steps past Mone, but with only one good arm! Mone says hurry up, but Kamille looks at both Shida and Kris. Kamille takes as swing, but Kris blocks to ROCK her! Shida QUESTION MARK KICKS Kamille! Then Kris & Shida TOSS The Brickhouse!

The Hurt Syndicate has a cameraman with them.
MVP says hold on, he and Shelton have found Swerve. They go after the man in the big fur jacket, but that’s not Swerve! Swerve gave his jacket to the guy, but MVP & Shelton still beat this guy up for helping Swerve. MVP says they’ll find Swerve later, Lashley has his match up next. And it’ll be a 2-on-1 Handicap?! The All Mighty really IS mad, what poor duo is about to be destroyed?
AEW hears from Jay White and Hangman Adam Page.
“Hangman. You and I are on that same path to that same destination, trying to grasp at that same prize. 2024 still has some time left for The Switchblade to share the spotlight with Hangman once more!” But the Blackhat Cowboy asks White if he knows “Who the hell I am?! I am the Hangman! I am THE man! They named this whole godforsaken PPV after ME!” White says when he makes Hangman TAP, it will be a public declaration! But Hangman says White can’t make him tap, even if his life depended on it! These two vicious gunslingers will write one more chapter in their storied rivalry, but who comes out riding off into the sunset?
2v1 Handicap: Bobby Lashley w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Joe Keys & Cheeseburger!
The All Mighty thought he’d have an easy night getting in a little warm-up, but The Realest quickly reminded him why he’s the most dangerous man in AEW! Lashley’s now doubling down to make a point, will there be nothing left of Keys & Cheese after tonight?

The fans are thunderous as Swerve stands over Lashley! MVP & Shelton get up and get in, but Swerve escapes, chain draped on his neck! Will AEW then, now and forever be whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Backstage interview with Mariah May & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is now with the AEW Women’s World Champion and her best friend, the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion. They are planning their Championship Champagne Celebration for Full Gear, BUT Friday Night Rampage will feature the two of them teaming up for the first time in just over a year. Mariah says no champion deserves a celebration more than her. Her rise to the top was meteoric, and her reign will be historic. She takes ish and makes it shine, any time and any show, against anyone. In Mariah’s division, you hold this title, or you die.
Mina says yes, Mariah has been working so hard. She came back to tell her she is so very proud. And Mina will give Mariah a celebration she’ll never forget! Mariah says the “H Cup Angel” (Mina) and the “Woman from Hell” (Mariah herself) are going to make Rampage into Glampage. Everyone wants Mina, but Mina wants Mariah. And then… They’ll dance! These two shimmy and shake their way out, will they finally be toasting their victories at Full Gear?
Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli w/ The Death Riders!

Darby truly is relentless, with durability like no other, but it just wasn’t enough against the strength and brutality of Claudio! Will no one stop The Death Riders from running roughshod over AEW?
Backstage interview with Private Party.
Renee is with Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy and brings up that at Full Gear, the AEW World Tag Team Championships are on the line in a Fatal 4 Way. Private Party takes on The Acclaimed, The Outrunners and The Kings of the Black Throne. In such a match, the champs do NOT have to be pinned or submitted to lose their titles, so what is their strategy? Brother Zay says they obviously can’t tell her that, the other teams are watching. But it seems like the odds are against them. Fortunately, the odds have been against them their whole lives, their whole careers, just like against The Young Bucks.
But look what happened: Private Party defied the odds, beat The Bucks, and are your AEW World Tag Team Champions. That is the same thing that happens on Saturday. They leave Newark, New Jersey still your tag team champions. Because there ain’t no party like a Private Party, that’s a flex. Oh, speaking of! It’s AJ & Big Justice! They’re fired up to be here, but Justice wants to know what that face Zay made was last week. Oh, right, this one, with the chin scratching. And AJ says they’ve got a BIG announcement coming up after this! Maybe some double chunk chocolate cookies? BOOM!!
A green Porsche Taycan pulls up to the middle of nowhere.
And out steps MJF. The Wolf of Wrestling tells the hobo to “go get it” as he throws spare change off to the side like birdseed. MVP then sits back and tells Roderick Strong, “You’ve been through so much. The kid who grew up trailer park trash with two abusive alcoholic parents. For crying out loud! Your own mother shot your father right in front of you. That’s traumatizing. And as you know, Roddy, trauma is the result of an overwhelming sense of danger, powerlessness and fear. However, healing is a result of feeling safe, empowered and supported. That’s why you’d do anything for Cole. He makes you feel all those positive things that you lacked.
“It’s why I was no different than you. It’s why I trusted him. Unfortunately, the difference between you and I: Cole for me was a mirage of what I wanted him to be. A fraud, a liar. And whilst Cole is a fraud, I do actually believe deep down, in his narcissistic, sociopathic, frail, feeble frame, is a man who cares about Roderick Strong. This is precisely why upon further contemplation, I am happy you won, Roddy. Because I want Adam Cole to watch a person he cares about suffer! And because of your White trash upbringing, you aren’t intelligent enough to realize that you don’t have a prayer. And I’m sending you back to where you belong. To your grimy little trailer park.
“And after the match, you’ll be in so much physical anguish, you’ll wish your mother hadn’t shot your father, but instead shot you.” As if this scumbag couldn’t stoop any lower, he brings up Roddy’s past to hurt him. But will Roddy make sure MJF’s future is the one full of pain and suffering?
Backstage interview with AJ & Big Justice.
Renee is with the Costco Tiktok sensations and says that in the Full Gear Zero Hour, we will see #BigBoomAJ take on QT Marshall in a match 20 YEARS in the making. AJ says it may have been 20 years in the making for QT, this all started for AJ when QT threw the double chunk chocolate cookies down! Renee says AJ has not been in the ring in those 20 years, is he concerned about how his body will hold up? AJ isn’t worried about that, because he just has one strategy, and that’s the strategy they use each and every day. That strategy is to bring the BOOM~! But hey, there’s another special announcement.
Because when AJ rings QT’s bell, and he Power-Booms QT right in the middle of that ring, there is only one guy they want ringing the bell: Big Justice’s best friend, THE RIZZLER! Time to bring the BOOM~! Will QT be sleeping on the mat for The Rizzler? Will he be skibidi? Fanum Tax? Why are those even words?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
And he welcomes out The Undisputed Kingdom! The fans cheer as Roderick Strong makes his way out, accompanied by Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. Schiavone brings up Roddy VS MJF at Full Gear, and we just heard all that disgusting stuff MJF had to say. Roddy’s response is that to be honest, he has not slept a wink since last week. IT is finally happening! Roddy feels like a kid on Christmas morning. He finally gets his hands on “MAAAAAX~!” The fans echo that, and Roddy says if MJF was here tonight, and not hiding out there, Roddy would ask him: Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his childhood?
Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his parents? You don’t think Roddy’s heard that stuff before? His whole LIFE, that is what people brought up! His mom’s an addict, his dad’s an addict, mom shot dad. Good job, Max, you made Roddy feel like he was in elementary school again. And people may look at Roddy’s past and feel sorry for him, but Roddy asks us not to. Because looking at MJF, Roddy feels sorry for him. Understand this, Max. With Roddy’s life, he learned that to get the most out of life, you have to earn it. If you wanna break the cycle, you have to earn it. And that is what Roddy’s done ever since he was a kid!
And now looking at MJF, he’s been spoon-fed everything. And when something doesn’t go his way or something happens and he doesn’t like it, MJF throws a temper tantrum like a baby until that changes. So Roddy wants MJF to do something for him: Look in the mirror and think about all the things that MJF has done to people. The manipulating, the backstabbing, the using. MJF needs to realize, when the bell rings at Full Gear, MJF will pay for all those sins. With every chop, with every punch, with every elbow, with every backbreaker! And when it is all over, Roddy walks to his hotel room for the best night of sleep in his life because he earned it.
Especially because Roddy will know he has broken MJF’s back, and left him humbled! Roddy is all fired up, and the fans are with him! Will MJF finally get what’s coming to him? Or will he give Roddy nightmares for the rest of his life?
AEW shares footage taken from last Saturday night.
First, a recap video of Daniel Garcia thwarting Jack Perry’s attempts to abduct and torture Matthew Menard, as well as the joyride they took in the Scapegoat bus, with Perry as the hood ornament. And now, they have Perry strapped into a chair, the bus headlights as the only source of light. Menard is behind the camera as he asks Perry how he’s feeling. How’d that work out for him, huh? Garcia splashes Perry with water to wake him up, and says “Let’s have a conversation. I’m all ears.” Perry chuckles and says Garcia thinks he’s so much better than him. Look at where they are! Garcia shouts back that he doesn’t wanna be here!
Garcia just wants to wrestle, but AEW is full of savages! Perry tried to take Daddy Magic’s life! And those in power just sit back and watch, pretending that nothing’s going on. So what do they do? Gotta take the power back, right? Perry counters with, “Everybody’s got a code. Everybody cares about right and wrong until it costs them something. Until they have to SACRIFICE!” Garcia gets in Perry’s face, grabs him by the mouth, and says Perry’s always going on about sacrifice but Perry has no idea what Garcia’s had to go through! Perry has NO idea what Garcia’s had to sacrifice to be here!
Garcia knows where Perry wants him to go, but Garcia promises that he’s never gonna go there. Perry smirks, then SPITS in Garcia’s face. Garcia wipes that off his face and says bet. Garcia’s got something for Perry, so just wait right there. Garcia goes to the bus while Perry mockingly asks what he’s gonna do. Menard tells shut up, Jack! Life must be so hard for him! What’s Jack got to be sad about?! Garcia comes back and he has a crowbar! Perry dares him to go ahead. Garcia raises the bar, but he SMASHES up the bus! Garcia throws the crowbar away and Perry laughs. Is that it? Garcia tells Menard they’ll get out of here. What? Where’s Garcia going?
Perry says yeah, walk away. Menard tells Perry that Garcia’s gonna whoop his ass! Just wait! Menard leaves, Perry shouts into the night, but will The Face of TNT soon be the one sacrificed for the greater good?
Renee Paquette presides over the ROH World Championship contract signing.
She welcomes us backstage to the signing for this match, which will happen next week, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, in Chicago. The challenger, Tomohiro Ishii, is on her left, and the champion, Chris Jericho, is on her right. Jericho, as champion, you have the honors to sign first. Jericho smiles and waves as he says, “Hi, guys.” But Renee, you should know better. A champion of Jericho’s caliber does not just sign a contract thrust at his face randomly. He has a whole legal team that needs to approve this contract. Renee says it was sent to said legal team last week. Oh, really? What about today? The now! Jericho lives in the now!
Jericho says he’ll get this checked by his legal eagles one more time. But for now, wait here. Choto matte kudesai. Jericho steps around the corner and then down the hall. He smiles at his own picture on the wall. What a good looking guy. But wait, Ishii has followed Jericho to the hall. Jericho is a bit worried as he keeps moving. Jericho tries to block Ishii’s path but a trash can isn’t enough. Jericho tells staffers that Ishii wants to talk to them. They step in the way but Ishii pushes them aside. Jericho moves faster, pushes more people in the way, but Ishii pushes them aside. Was that RJ City?
Jericho goes up some stairs but Ishii follows. Ishii’s even gaining ground! Jericho goes through a doorway and ends up in the concourse! Fans cheer as Jericho and Ishii keep up their cat ‘n’ mouse game. Jericho decides to go into the stands! Ishii follows, and they head down the bleachers towards ringside! Jericho hurries over railing but so does Ishii. They go into the ring, and now Jericho tells Ishii to stop following him! Jericho wants a mic, a mic is brought, and Jericho says hey, listen, Ishii. Jericho would sign this contract, but he doesn’t have a pen. Ishii has a pen! Oh. Ishii clicks it for Jericho, and pushes it into him.
Jericho takes the pen, looks at the contract again, and still hesitates. Jericho signs his part, and then hands things over to Ishii. But then BRYAN KEITH & BIG BILL ATTACK! It was all a massive set-up! Bad Apple & Redwood beat down Stone Pitbull, and then sit him up! Jericho has the pen ready, but here comes The Conglomeration! Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero rush in, and Mark TACKLES Jericho! Rocky fires off on Bill while Mark CHOKES Jericho! Keith saves Jericho from Mark but Mark fires hands on Keith! The fans fire up, but then Bill SKYSCRAPER- NO, Mark UPPERCUTS Bill first! Rocky adds on!
The fans fire up as The Conglomeration pinballs Bill, and then Ishii CLOBBERS him! Bill tumbles out, but Rocky DIVES! Bill is sent into railing! Keith stands up, into a kick and underhooks! JAY DRILLER! Jericho stands up, Ishii has him, and hits a BRAINBUSTER!! Conglomeration stands tall over The Learning Tree and his Branches, and now Ishii signs his part! The match is now official, and Ishii is looking to take a bite out of Jericho! Will The Conglomeration have the ROH World Championship to be thankful for this year?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Renee is with the former AEW Women’s World Champion and notes that last time, we were going to hear from her, only for her to be interrupted by Julia Hart. What is Hayter’s reaction to that? Well, yeah, she isn’t angry, but she is baffled why Julia chose to interrupt Hayter. They’ve never really spoken or interacted, or even wrestled each other. Hayter is just curious as to why Julia felt it was okay to do that. Granted, Julia can do whatever she wants, Hayter moves to the beat of her own drum just as much as Julia. But… if Julia wants to have a chat-
Uh oh, something is happening to the video! Brody King’s message echoes, “It’s time to come home.” Julia Hart walks through the woods. Brody says The House is her foundation. She has seen her rebirth. Now it is time to rebuild. She has woken up stronger, more determined, and more dangerous than ever. Julia aims her arrow to shoot down a target: her past self. Her obstacles are just bull’s eyes. She is the Princess of the Black Throne, and the Keeper of Secrets. She is Julia Hart, and her heart grows harder. She hits her mark, but will she find Hayter Hits Hard?
Orange Cassidy VS Wheeler Yuta!
Freshly Squeezed has been accused of being coldblooded and uncaring, but he got pretty heated as he told The Conglomeration to keep themselves safe tonight. He goes 1v1 with The Decoder, a young man who was once Cassidy’s student, and who left him behind to join the then Blackpool Combat Club. If anyone is uncaring, it is Yuta with how he would then follow Jon Moxley’s lead in the destruction of Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor. Who will be the more ferocious fighter tonight, this close to Full Gear?
The bell rings and Yuta SHOTGUNS Cassidy! Yuta follows Cassidy to a corner to CHOP, then ROCK, then CHOP again! Yuta whips corner to corner but Cassidy goes up and out. Cassidy bumps Yuta off buckles, climbs up top, but has to leap over. Yuta comes back but Cassidy catches him to a backslide! TWO, but Cassidy reels Yuta in for a cradle! TWO! Yuta pulls on an ear! But Cassidy arm-drags and wrangles Yuta into the SEATBELT! TWO!! Yuta escapes and the fans fire up as these two stand off. Yuta huffs ‘n’ puffs, but Cassidy shows he wants a grapple. They feel things out, knuckle lock, but Cassidy blocks a kick!
Cassidy reels Yuta in for a headlock, but Yuta powers up and out. Cassidy ducks ‘n’ rolls, tilt-o-whirls, but Yuta suplexes! Into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Yuta tumbles out and fans fire up! Cassidy builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Yuta and the fans fire up again! Cassidy brings Yuta up, whips, but Yuta reverses to reel Cassidy in! Cassidy fights the suplex, but then Yuta fights a suplex. Yuta suplexes, to RAILING BRAINBUSTER!! Cassidy writhes and fans are stunned! Yuta stomps Cassidy, then leaves him behind for the ring count. Cassidy crawls into the ring, Yuta exposes a crossbar, and then he GRINDS Cassidy’s face into the steel!
The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Yuta steps off at 4. Cassidy seethes as he rises up, but Yuta has him at the corner. Cassidy kicks Yuta’s legs out and Yuta falls onto a turnbuckle! Yuta falls back, Cassidy climbs, but Yuta grabs Cassidy first! Yuta drags Cassidy down but Cassidy fires hands. Yuta squeezes the facelock tight, then hits an APRON DDT! The fans boo Yuta while Cassidy writhes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cassidy clutches his neck while Yuta waits in the ring. A ring count starts and Yuta eggs Cassidy on. Cassidy reaches up as the count reaches 5 of 10, but he doesn’t sit up until 6. Cassidy hobbles up, stumbles and falls, but springs back to life! He slides in at 9! Only for Yuta to be right on him! Yuta reels Cassidy in, but Cassidy turns that into BEACH BREAK! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy is too sore to be frustrated. They both sit up, and Yuta crawls his way over to a corner. Cassidy rises, checks his neck, then runs up, but into an ELBOW! Yuta goes up, but Cassidy JUMP FOREARMS! Cassidy positions Yuta just right before he climbs the corner.
Yuta resists but Cassidy still brings Yuta up. Yuta continues to fight the suplex, throws body shots, then shoves Cassidy down. Cassidy rolls back to his feet, runs back up the corner, but Yuta again fights the suplex! Cassidy fires hands, but Yuta fires back! They brawl up top, Cassidy HEADBUTTS Yuta! But Yuta HEADBUTTS back! They both wobble, but then Cassidy BITES Yuta! The ref reprimands, but Cassidy CLAWS Yuta’s back! This is very Moxley of him to do! And then Cassidy hits the SUPERPLEX! Both men are down and the ref checks. They’re both okay to continue, so a standing count begins!
Cassidy sits up, spots Yuta, and heads that way. Yuta sits up, they fire forearms as they stand! Dynamite returns to single picture as these shots go back and forth. The fans fire up for Cassidy but boo Yuta as the shots go faster and faster! Yuta BITES Cassidy’s forehead! Yuta spits then runs, but Cassidy dodges! BODY BLOW! SUPERKICK! Yuta sits down, Cassidy runs, PENALTY KICK! Cassidy slashes his throat, hauls Yuta up, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy seethes. Cassidy rains down fists on Yuta! The ref reprimands about closed fists and hair pulling, but Cassidy doesn’t stop until the ref counts 4.
Cassidy stands, and he throws off the elbow pad! Cassidy aims at Yuta, runs up, but Yuta ducks the punch! GERMAN SUPLEX! Yuta runs to CHOP in the corner! And then a wrench and PAIN THRILLER! The fans boo while Yuta seethes and stands over Cassidy. Yuta sits Cassidy up, for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! But Cassidy blocks one! And bends fingers, to then SNAP them! The fans fire up as Cassidy SNAPS finger after finger! Yuta swings, Cassidy BOOTS him, then serves up SOLE FOOD! Scoop and MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy is busting out all his best friends’ best moves, but he hasn’t gotten it done!
Cassidy aims, loads up, and ORANGE- NO, Yuta ducks! Orange fights the suplex, switches to O’Conner Roll! TWO, Yuta dodges Cassidy, scoops him, and CROSS LEG TOMBSTONE!! Cover, TWO?!? Cassidy survives and Yuta is furious! The fans are thunderous, but Yuta rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Cassidy grits his teeth but he’s almost a ragdoll! Yuta lets off to then hook the arms, CATTLE MUTILATION!! Cassidy endures as Yuta thrashes him around! Cassidy powers up as the fans rally, and he kicks around to the ROPEBREAK!! Yuta holds on, the ref counts, and Yuta finally lets go at 4!
The ref reprimands Yuta, but Yuta pushes past the ref to go outside the ring. Yuta grabs a chair! Yuta storms into the ring while the fans boo, and the ref says don’t do it! Cassidy dodges the chair shot! Victory roll, CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
Yuta is in disbelief! Cassidy beat him with a technical move! Yuta snarls but the ref keeps him back. Cassidy did what he promised in beating Yuta, but then he stares his former student down. Is Cassidy going to offer a handshake? WAIT, PAC ATTACKS! The Bastard BOOTS Cassidy down so we’ll never know what Cassidy was going to do! The fans boo more but Pac & Yuta stand on Cassidy. The rest of the Death Riders appear, and Marina Shafir has duct tape! The AEW World Trios Champions stomp away on Cassidy, like vultures picking the bones. Moxley steps into the ring while Marina hands the tape over to Pac.
Claudio puts Cassidy’s hands in his pockets, and then Pac tapes them in! Cassidy is physically bound, and Moxley paces around. Cassidy is pushed around by all the Death Riders, then Moxley DECKS him! Claudio hauls Cassidy back up, the Death Riders keep bullying him, and then Moxley SLAPS Cassidy down! But the bullying continues as they stand Cassidy up. Cassidy “kicks” Moxley! Defiant to the end! But Moxley DECKS him again! Moxley paces around more, then stomps Cassidy right on the face! Moxley leads The Death Riders away, and The Conglomeration finally comes out here.
Mark has scissors to cut Cassidy loose, and the fans boo as The Death Riders still retreat. Cassidy tries to stand up, but he has to use ropes to do it. Even so, Cassidy stands on his own two feet. Moxley eggs on the fans while Cassidy puts his sunglasses on. And then hands up, and then into the pockets! Try as they might, The Death Riders could not break the Freshly Squeezed fighting spirit! Will Cassidy finally become AEW World Champion? Or will Moxley find a way to break Cassidy at Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home Dynamite here, though it felt like it contracted Go Home Syndrome. A lot of recap and other promos, but good promos all the same. Good follow-up from last week with Hayter and Hart, that will probably really get going after Full Gear. Good promo from Mariah & Mina to hype up their celebration segment for Full Gear, and with Toni Storm’s announcement of her retirement, you can bet Toni is anything but retired! Toni Storm most assuredly will return very soon, maybe even to ruin the celebration and spark another feud. I still want us to get to Mariah VS Mina but maybe Storm moves things back so that Mariah VS Mina happens in 2025.
Good promo from Private Party to also have AJ & Big Justice show up. The promos didn’t really add much to any of the matches, though. I’m very sure AJ does hit the BOOM on QT to win, and then Private Party finds a way to survive the Fatal 4. Great stuff with Perry, Garcia and Menard, that was another very action movie kind of promo, maybe even like that grittier Batman movie. But with Garcia not sinking to the same lows as Perry, that will be why Garcia loses. Honestly, why not just have Perry blatantly get himself disqualified? What great heat for Perry while keeping Garcia strong in not becoming TNT Champion.
Great promos in this MJF story. I appreciate Cole throwing his support behind Roddy was good, as well as Kyle O’Reilly wanting Cole to just leave it at this. MJF of course insults Roddy over his past while also trashing Cole at the same time, but great response from Roddy. Also I’m not a car guy so it took me a little too long to Google out what car MJF was driving. Anyway, given all these promos, I am very confident MJF wins at Full Gear and then Cole still wants after MJF, only for Kyle to have to fight Cole to make him stop. Then we’ll maybe get Cole VS MJF at Worlds End, or even some time in 2025.
Very good stuff with The Hurt Syndicate, even with them getting jumped by Swerve. Poor Cheeseburger, that’s one fan favorite that got fed to Bobby Lashley. But Swerve getting the better of the Hurt Syndicate again and again tonight, all the more reason Lashley wins at Full Gear. Very good promo vignette from White and Hangman to hype up their grudge match, which still feels it could go either way since they’re tied on the year. And Jericho and Ishii had perhaps simultaneously the most clever and most ridiculous contract signing segment ever. And of course Jericho worked out some sort of trap, only for it to go badly for him and his team. But with that, that means Ishii is losing next week, as I figured he would.
Awesome opening match with the 8 Man, and I liked that they had Hobbs do the “fighting through the pain” angle in the match. Also, great bit with Kyle Fletcher sending Davis into harm’s way so that the Callis Family can get the better of Ospreay’s team. I thought the Faces were going to win here, but the math now says Ospreay finds a way to beat Kyle, and maybe Ricochet takes the International Championship from Konosuke Takeshita. The Continental Classic is coming, and they could easily use that round robin to get Konosuke back to a feud with Kazuchika Okada and they battle for the Continental Championship at Worlds End like we should’ve gotten at WrestleDream.
Awesome match from Kris VS Shida, and I appreciate the crisis of confidence for Shida. Kris gets a great win to go into Full Gear, and then Kris and Shida get the better of Mone & Kamille, so all the more reason Mone finds a way to survive. As for Kamille, I feel like she should ditch Mone for being treated like crap by Mone, and maybe we can get a feud of Mone VS Kamille going into 2025. And of course, plenty of promos from Death Riders and “Team AEW” members. Moxley just kinda went on and on about stuff he’s already said in reference to Cassidy, but I did like Claudio going bilingual in talking trash on Darby.
Awesome matches from those stories, of course. Darby really got thrown around but he continues to show that toughness. Claudio getting the win mostly keeps Darby back so that Darby can build towards a world title match at Worlds End. Cassidy VS Yuta was great stuff, too, with great back and forth of Cassidy wanting to end it quick, having to grit it out with Yuta, and then Cassidy still finding a way to end it with a quick pin. And they did a good job muddying the math. Cassidy wins the match, but the Death Riders beat him down, only for Cassidy to literally stand tall at the end of the show. I still don’t see him taking the world title from Moxley, though, with Darby still in the wings, but this could end up Cassidy’s best match yet.
My Score: 8.9/10

Wait, cameras have caught up and now Perry is brawling with Menard in the back! Garcia hurries to the back, but Perry throws Menard into railing! And SMACKS him with a floor sign! Perry stalks Menard while commentary says AEW is coming unglued! Things have moved to the parking lot, and Perry SMACKS Menard off the Scapegoat bus! “You think he’s ready? You think he’s ready!? Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”
Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?
Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!

Shelton goes out after Komander, brings him back up, and he RAMS Komander into the railing! And the apron! And back to railing! Shelton RAMS Komander into the apron then THROWS him at the railing! Komander is down in a heap and MVP is all fired up! MVP talks a bit of trash to Komander while Shelton steps into the ring. The ring count climbs, and Shelton waits. Komander manages to get in at 7 of 10! Shelton stomps Komander, then brings him up from the apron side. Shelton has Komander literally on the ropes, to then BOOT him down! Komander hits the floor and MVP says it’s fine, he can stay down.
Shelton goes out after Komander, drags him up, and tosses him back into the ring. Shelton stalks Komander, then clamps on with a chinlock. Komander endures, but Shelton grinds him and twists him into a stretch. Komander continues to endure while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Shelton whips Komander to FLAPJACK! Komander lands hard and sputters, but Shelton stands on him for a cocky cover. ONE, but Shelton smirks. The fans rally while Shelton stalks Komander to a corner. Shelton stomps Komander, hoists him up top, and slaps him around! Komander SLAPS back! And BOOTS!

MVP stands with Shelton in the victory, but Komander definitely give more of a fight than either man expected. MVP then says we should leave with a souvenir! Shelton grabs at Komander’s mask! Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.

Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg.

Rush runs up and feints the dropkick to SMACK Caster! Rush soaks up the cheers and jeers while he blows a kiss. Rush drags Caster up to snapmare and motorcycle stretch.

Bowens fires a flurry, then whips, but Mortos reverses. Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Bowens down! The fans fire up but Caster MISSILE DROPKCIKS Mortos! Rush runs up, but Caster SUPERKICKS him! Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys.

Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall (advance to Full Gear)
Private Party says alright, nice on Acclaimed! Billy helps Caster to his feet, but Caster is a bit squirrely. Caster calms down, and The Acclaimed all SCISSOR FINGER~! They’re in the Fatal 4, but will Caster & Bowens be the ones to become TWO-TIME TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDT onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAY on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEX on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZERO on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
