Saraya’s Rules: Saraya w/ Harley Cameron VS Jamie Hayter!
If you missed last week, the rules of a “Saraya’s Rules” match are simple: Saraya and those associated with her can do whatever they want to Jamie Hayter, but Jamie Hayter has to still play by the regular rules. Oh, and something about Hayter being a slag. But with chairs and tables already set up inside and outside the ring, it is clear what Saraya plans on doing. Will this all go swimmingly for The Outcasts? Or will Hayter Hit Hard, no matter the odds?
Saraya disrespects fans already by ripping up their sign in favor of Hayter! Harley gets a mic to tell everyone to shut up! For The Outcasts have decided there is ONE MORE rule for this match! “The match does not being until Saraya slaps the slag!” The fans boo, Harley taunts Hayter but Hayter dares Saraya to take that free shot then.

Hayter BOOTS Saraya down, then drags her up and into the ring. The fans rally up behind Hayter as she steps in, but Harley anchors her foot! Saraya SMASHES Hayter with a VCR!? Where’d she even find one of those?! That thing is in pieces, and Harley hands Saraya a keyboard! Saraya SMACKS away on Hayter while Harley holds her down! The keys fly off the keyboard, but Saraya just CHOKES Hayter with the cord! Saraya lets off to cover, ONE!!
Saraya argues the count but Hayter shakes her head. Hayter kicks Saraya, Saraya stomps her down! Saraya TOSSES Hayter out hard, and then Harley goes after her! Again, all legal under Saraya’s Rules! The fans boo this stacked deck as Harley CHOKES Hayter, and then she whips Hayter hard into railing! Harley CHOKES Hayter, thrashes her around, and Saraya has a cookie sheet!

AEW shares more of the sit-down interview with Will Ospreay and Ricochet.
The full interview is still available on AEW’s YouTube channel, but in this clip, Renee Paquette asks about the pressure being put on both men for their AEW International Championship match. Ricochet says he’s been here a thousand times before. Him coming into AEW was a chance to show everyone a different side of Ricochet. But even before he got a 360 look, all these people, from Don Callis, Kyle Fletcher, The Beast Mortos, Pac, and of course Will Ospreay, they had to say something. Ospreay says yeah, and the reason why is Ricochet forgot who he was. That six year “hiatus” and now look at him! His personality is showing, he is comfortable with himself again.
But Ospreay wants Ricochet to keep in mind, Renee said “pressure.” The pressure Ricochet is putting himself under. And now he is in the ring with, whether he likes it or not, “Little Bro” Ospreay, who is the best wrestler in the world right now. Whether or not either man is feeling the pressure of the moment, which one of them will stand tall at the Dynamite 5 Year Anniversary Show?

While The Bastard & The Swiss Superman betrayed Bryan Danielson, they still expect The Decoder to do his part and help defend these titles.

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and brings up how we haven’t seen her since that win in the “insane Street Fight” from All Out. Kris asks what Lexy wants her to do about that. To complain about her spot? To ask why she wins the big matches yet all anyone talks about is the loser? Should Kris could look into this camera and beg for her opportunity? Sorry, Lexy, guess she’s the odd woman out because she’s not that insecure. Kris knows who she is, what she does, and if you had to design a woman wrestler from the ground up, you wouldn’t be able to think of something near as good as Kris.
So Kris has a hard time feeling sorry for herself. She picks her spots, calls her shots, and when she’s ready, she’ll let us know. But in the meantime, every woman in AEW should be saying, “Thank You, Stat.” Because when you face Kris, you either get better, or you get destroyed. Kris heads out, but will she be heading up to the top of the division soon enough?
MXM Collection is here!
As promised, it is the Grand Slam finale to New York Fashion Week, and these two strut their stuff down the ramp and into the ring, which they then slither into. The fans cheer as they stand by what is clearly a person under a black cloth sheet, and they POSE! Mansoor fetches mics for him and Mason Madden, and they revel in the fans cheering them on. Mansoor says, “Ladies, gentlemen and everyone in between, are you ready for the Grand Slam finale to New York Fashion Week!?” Sure sounds like they are. Mason says this is the Sultan of Suave, Mansoor! Mansoor says this is the Height of Fashion, Mason Madden!
And together, they are the M X M Collection~! Fingertip touch, and then Mansoor reminds us that two weeks ago, they claimed Max Caster’s jacket for two reasons. One: Much like Max, it was ugly. Two: It was emblazoned with a lie! It says Max Caster is the Best Wrestler Alive? HAHAHAHAHA! MXM calm down from the laughing fit, and Mason says they have remedied the problem. They have made Caster’s jacket the grand, explosive climax to their little show. Now, we know not just anyone can model MXM’s avant-garde designs, so they made sure that for all of us, the little people, that their male models will be just as handsome as MXM.
So now, without further ado, please get ready for MXM’s Grand Slam Fashion Walk! We look back to the stage and strutting out first, “wearing a vision [Mason Madden] once had in an Appalachian sweat lodge,” Italy’s Felipe sports gold pants, big brimmed hat and sheer button up. Mansoor says wearing a ski suit that once braved the Matterhorn, it is Antonio! Third, “wearing 24 karat gold sifted from the rivers in Sierra Leone, this is Cameroon.” Not a bad jacket but are those sneakers on a necklace? Fourth, “wearing fur extracted from the flesh of the endangered capybara in the Galapagos Islands in Cameroon, this is Sierra Leone!”
Fifth, “in honor of the US Open, you know him, you love him, international tennis superstar, Ashley Arthur!” Oh get it? Name inversion. But denim short shorts might not be regulation for pro-tennis play… And last but not least, from right here in Queens, with a leopard print fur coat, purple pants and a walking stick… JEFF!! The union requires that even he is allowed to participate. Mansoor says give it up for all their male models! The fans do cheer, but it feels like the veiled man is getting anxious. Mason says now that we’ve all been sufficiently fluffed, time for the moment we’ve all come for! And if you haven’t yet, you will!
They looked around the world for the finest body they could find! The grandest musculature they could witness! And they found him in the forests on the outskirts of Düsseldorf, “the Pride of Prussia,” East Germany’s greatest export, MXM’s piece de resistance–that’s French for a fine piece of ass–put your hands together for the model of Caster’s jacket… HANS!! Hans is revealed and he is JACKED! The jacket, however, has a big heart cutout on the front where the buttons go, the sleeves are sheer with a flourish pattern, but MXM is more into Hans’ body. They have Hans spin, and we see the back, and it seems Hans is wearing sheer shorts and a speedo…
But the important thing is the back of the jacket: “Bratinum Max Caster BEST DRESSED ALIVE.” Arthur Ashe is getting quite the show, Hans. Mansoor loves the jacket, but he speaks for everyone here when he says… TAKE IT OFF! Hans does indeed take off the jacket, and his vascularity floors MXM! Hans flexes, Mansoor says he never thought he’d say this, but… Hans would be PERFECT for MXM Collection! It would be an honor if he touched tips. The fans fire up, and Hans holds up his finger, to then GRAB THE TIPS! How dare he! But SURPRISE! Hans is DADDY ASS! Billy Gunn DOUBLE LARIATS MXM down!
The fans fire up as Billy takes out all the other “models,” from Felipe to Jeff, but then MXM joins in! They all beat up on Billy, and then Mason reels him in. But here comes The Acclaimed! Caster & Bowens clear out the male models but MXM go running! The fans fire up as Bowens & Caster set Antonio up for the INVERTED BOMB! MXM want to know where the REAL Hans is, but Caster picks up the remade jacket. Caster puts it on?! Caster doesn’t seem to mind, and then he winds up… to POSE~! And then SCISSOR FINGER with Bowens & Billy! Will The Acclaimed give MXM their own makeover when these teams finally have a match?
Lumberjack Strap Match: Hangman Page VS Jeff Jarrett!
The Black Hat Cowboy’s rage has not only burned down Swerve’s childhood home, but it has burned the bridges between him and all those who were once his friend. But it has also gotten him on the wrong side of just about everyone else on the roster, which is why The Dark Order, The Bang Bang Gang, and Team Triple J are ringside, ready to lash out with straps! Will Hangman pay for all the #CowboyS*it he’s been up to? Or will he beat The Last Outlaw at his own game?
The bell rings and the lumberjacks are ready to do some lashing! Jarrett and Hangman circle, Hangman runs up but Jarrett dodges to fire hands! Hangman fires back, but Jarrett fires a flurry of haymakers! Jarrett whips, hangman reverses and BOOTS! Hangman runs up but Jarrett puts him on the apron! Hangman holds onto ropes, and he is safe there as the lumberjacks can only attack someone who is on the floor. Jarrett runs up, Hangman counter punches, then hurries in. Hangman bumps Jarrett off buckles, CHOPS him, then ROCKS him. Hangman stalks Jarrett, grinds his face off the ropes, but the fans rally up.
Hangman whips Jarrett, Jarrett ducks ‘n’ dodges, but leaps into Hangman’s arms! FALL AWAY SLAM! Jarrett ends up on the apron, but The Dark Order leaves him be. Not just because of the rules, but because their beef is not with him. But then Hangman triangle jumps! Jarrett ducks the lariat, then he DUMPS Hangman out! And The Dark Order closes in! Hangman hurries back inside, but Jarrett runs up! Hangman dodges, then Alabama Lifts! Jarrett sunset flips it, steps through, but Hangman fires hands!

Hangman flips off the fans as they taunt him, then paces around Jarrett. Hangman drags Jarrett up, ROCKS him with a haymaker, then stalks Jarrett to a corner. The Bang Bang Gang are like sharks with blood in the water, but Hangman denies them Jarrett. Hangman CHOPS Jarrett, then mocks the applause. Hangman whips corner to corner, runs up, but Jarrett dodges! Jarrett climbs up and he rains down fists! But Hangman stops him at 3 to fireman’s carry! He DUMPS Jarrett out, but Jarrett ROCKS Hangman! Hangman DECKS Jarrett, and Jarrett falls! The Gunns go right after Jarrett with the straps!
The fans are torn but Jarrett gets away from the Ass Boys! Hangman drags Jarrett up, fireman’s carries, and DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS! Cover, TWO! Jarrett stays in this but Hangman argues with Aubrey about her count. Hangman kicks Jarrett around, scrapes him to the apron, but Jarrett holds ropes to stay off the ground. Hangman fires a hand, but Jarrett just fires up! The fans fire up, but Hangman ROCKS Jarrett again! Jarrett tells Hangman to hit him again! Hangman does, so Jarrett hits back! Screens go dark, but when they come back, Jarrett dodges a haymaker to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! And more technical difficulties, so Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Jarrett fires up! The fans fire up with him, and Jarrett TOSSES Hangman out! The Bang Bang Gang LASHES away on Hangman! Hangman scrambles in, Jarett puts him on ropes to STRADDLE ATTACK! Jarrett keeps going, but Hangman dodges to LARIAT Jarrett up and out!

The fans boo as Karen tells Hangman to get back! Karen shields her husband, the ref wants Karen to leave, and Hangman says if the ref doesn’t remove Karen, he will! But then Lethal slides in to shield Karen & Jeff. So Hangman LASHES Lethal! Karen hurries away, Hangman aims at all the lumberjacks! He dares them to get in! Jarrett has Lethal’s strap! And he LASHES away on Hangman! Hangman bails out, but that lets Dark Order LASH him! The fans fire up as they give Hangman what he deserves! The Bang Bang Gang joins in!

Hangman CHOKES Juice, then HANGS him!! The Gunns LASH away on Hangman, so Hangman goes into retreat! Hangman warns them to never get in his business again, but is he picking a fight with the Collision Cowboys that he can’t win?
AEW Continental Championship Title Eliminator: Kazuchika Okada VS Sammy Guevara!
While The Rainmaker made it through Fatal 4 Way odds at All Out, The Spanish God has been fighting alongside Dustin Rhodes both in AEW and ROH. Will Sammy prove he’s ready for more gold? Or will Okada be the one walking away from this Collision?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, and Okada waistlocks. Sammy switches, Okada pries the hold open, and he wrenches to a wristlock. Sammy reaches for ropes, Okada keeps him back, so Sammy spins, flips, and wrenches back! Okada kneels, grits his teeth, and fights up. Okada pulls Sammy’s hair, puts him on ropes, but lets off at 4. Okada fakes the chop to pat Sammy on the shoulder. Sammy nods and shrugs that off, then circles with Okada. But Okada kicks low! Okada CLUBS Sammy, snapmares, and runs side to side to basement DROPKICK! Sammy flounders to the apron while fans applaud.

Sammy builds speed, and FOSBURY FLOPS! Down goes Okada and the fans fire up again! Sammy brings Okada up and into the ring, then aims, only for Okada to roll out the side. The fans cheer, and Sammy runs in around the way!
Sammy uses the steps to FLYING CUTTER to the floor! The fans fire up while both men are down, and a ring count starts. Sammy drags himself up, crawls to the apron and stands. Sammy aims again, but Okada avoids the Quebrada! Kick and DDT to the floor! Okada grins while fans applaud, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Sammy but somehow, Sammy is still in this. Okada drags Sammy up, then whips him hard into railing! Sammy falls over, Okada soaks up cheers and jeers, then he goes back for Sammy. Okada rips up a fan’s sign cheering on Sammy, but then gives it back to the fan. Okada HAMMERS Sammy down, then drags him back up. Okada puts Sammy in the ring, storms up the steps, and then brings Sammy up. Okada bumps Sammy off buckles, then winds up, to ELBOW!

Sammy BOOTS Okada! The count is 7! Sammy runs up, Okada BACKDROPS him onto steel steps!! The ref hurries out to check Sammy, and Okada has a sinister look on his face. Sammy writhes, but he is somehow still in this. Okada grins as he storms over to Sammy, and he drags Sammy up to put in the ring. Sammy crawls, Okada stalks him, but the fans rally up. Okada drags Sammy up, to whip and DROPKICK!
Okada doesn’t stop, he just hauls Sammy up to scoop SLAM! Okada goes up a corner, for the MACHO ELBOW! The fans fire up and Okada stands. Okada winds it up, to… FLIP US OFF!

The Spanish God came so close, but not even he could stop the rain! Will Sammy have to aim for a different title if he wants to be like #DustinTwoBelts? Will anyone stop Okada with the roll he’s been on?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to finish up Grand Slam week, with only that one glaring flaw during the Lumberjack Strap match. TV production may be complex stuff, but this wasn’t even a live episode. Was someone half asleep and not paying attention to the cues for commercial breaks? It kinda killed the momentum of what was a very good match from Jarrett and Hangman, especially with all the people at ringside. But as such, the overbooking and distractions was a good way to give Hangman that win. Hangman also seems to be moving on to The Bang Bang Gang as he and Juice got into it. We certainly get Hangman VS Juice 1v1, and I would think Hangman wins that. Maybe Jay White returns as part of Hangman’s story?
The Saraya’s Rules match was a very fun opener, but Hayter won just as I figured. Hard to say which title scene she gets in, but as she’s already been world champion, maybe she challenges Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship, going for the historic AEW Women’s Division double, same as Hikaru Shida and others have. Great Trios Tornado match, and I suppose The Learning Tree winning makes sense if the story is to continue. Jericho taking the win when Bill hit the finish was also something we should’ve expected. Technically it should be Big Bill with the right to challenge Mark Briscoe, but Jericho is Jericho and therefore selfish. Maybe this “wasted” title shot becomes another seed of dysfunction within the faction.
Really good match from Action and Brody, but of course Brody won. The surprise was The Righteous going after Top Flight. I suppose we get Top Flight Airlines VS Archer & Righteous, the winners getting a Six Man Tag with House of Black, and then the Six Man Tag leads to new challengers for the Trios Championships. Speaking of which, very good stuff in the title match tonight, and it went about as I expected: Yuta didn’t want in; Claudio forces his hand; Yuta goes berserk like he has before, and that’s how the team wins. Maybe if this new Blackpool Combat Club runs into a team like House of Black or Archer & Righteous, that is when they lose titles, but it won’t be until then.
Great title match from Jack Perry and Minoru Suzuki, especially when Suzuki was not on my list of expected challengers. Perry choosing to win by count out was an interesting move, but I like Shibata showing up to stop Perry from going further. Still a bit disappointed nothing was truly settled between the Jericho Vortex and the trio of Samoa Joe, Hook & Shibata, though. But Shibata VS Perry will be great stuff, and Perry finds an even sneakier way to retain the title. He might even take the count out loss so that Champion’s Advantage keeps the belt with him. I would still think someone like Daniel Garcia could challenge for the title and maybe even win it.
Awesome Triple Threat to celebrate lucha libre and Hispanic Heritage Month, even though it’s less a month and just the four weeks between September 15th and October 15th. But great win for Hologram, and I really like that La Faccion Ingobernable is back, with Mortos as their heavy instead of Vance. Still scratching my head as to where the resolution to the story of Rush and Don Callis went. But whatever, LFI should’ve been what was going on all along, and maybe they can feud with whatever form The Don Callis Family takes in the near future.
Very fun video from The Outrunners, I just hope they get going in the ring, really build up their record. Very fun segment from MXM with The Acclaimed, but I don’t think they needed that many “male models” who were of course indie wrestlers. And I could just feel that “Hans” was Billy Gunn all along, but that was a great moment to really remind us all that Billy is jacked. Great brawl that ran MXM off, and the tag match that’s coming will be a lot of fun. As I said before, it probably won’t outright lead someone to a title match, but if MXM gets a win over The Acclaimed, that is a big thing for their rise in the ranks.
And great main event out of Sammy and Okada. I really got worried for Sammy at a couple points, but then I was a little unsure why Sammy didn’t sell the leg more. Okada still won out, Sammy will just have to settle for being ROH World Tag Team Champion with Dustin for now. Maybe Sammy should shift to the ROH World TV Championship, get the belt back from Atlantis Jr. or something. As for Okada, I would think Konosuke Takeshita is still his next challenger, they need to get that 1v1 done, probably for WrestleDream. That could be a real show stealer given what we know both men are capable of.
My Score: 8.8/10

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!

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-

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

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?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!

Winner: Julia Hart, by pinfall
The tiebreaker goes to Julia, and Aminata is stunned! If the Hart Always Wins, will she make her way back to a championship? Will Aminata decide to take Deeb up on her teachings now?
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. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out.

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!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around.

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
