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?

Winners: Roderick Strong, The Beast Mortos, Rush & The Grizzled Young Veterans, by pinfall
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.

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-
NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE!

Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!
Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?
Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up!

Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref.

Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under.

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!

Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
