The Learning Tree stands with The Redwood & Bad Apple as he says, “As we’ve seen recently, The Conglomeration is such a well-oiled machine. Each member, a very important cog in the wheel that makes them roll. From Orange Cassidy, to Mark Briscoe, to Kyle O’Reilly, to Tomohiro Ishii, one of my favorite opponents ever in AEW. One of the toughest men I’ve ever faced! And even though I would’ve loved to wrestle him again in AEW, now’s just not the right time.” Big Bill says time is the most valuable commodity humans possess. But time runs out for every man. Keith says especially this one. THEY’RE STANDING OVER ISHII! Sayonara, Ishii.
Refs rush in and call for a medic! The Learning Tree says “Arigato, guys~!” The Stone Pitbull was taken down in a 3v1 ambush, but what will the rest of The Conglomeration do to get their revenge?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Lexy Nair is with Freshly Squeezed, and notes that in moments, he faces Bryan Keith in a Continental Contenders Challenge match, and winning means going to All Out tomorrow night for a very full schedule. But how is Cassidy handling this seeing what The Learning Tree and cohorts just did to Ishii? Cassidy says yeah, his schedule is filling up. But what isn’t full is his backpack. So while Kyle checks on Ishii, Cassidy will punch Keith right in the face for what he did. Then at All Out, Cassidy takes that title and puts it in his backpack, right next to the seven grand in cash. Cassidy heads out, will Orange beat the pulp out of the Bad Apple?

Ishii has been avenged, and Cassidy will NOT be paying Jericho back for that ruined $7,000 jacket. And now, The Conglomeration has two spots in the Continental Championship match! Will the word of the day on Saturday be, “Inevitability?” As it, is it inevitable that Okada loses that championship?
Chris Jericho speaks, again.
Jericho says hi to Orange, and congratulates him on the win. But he wants to document this. Since he’s not getting his $7,000, he’ll take something from Cassidy. And hopefully, Cassidy will become champion. Not that he’ll have his backpack to put it in. Jericho will keep the backpack until Cassidy gives him the money. And possession is nine-tenths of the law. So think wisely, Cassidy, because Jericho has a big pair of scissors. Thanks, Orange~! Will the Learning Tree tear the backpack to shreds? Or will Cassidy pay what is now a ransom fee to Jericho?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone & Kamille.
Lexy is now with The CEO, and her Brickhouse, and says that as we learned on Dynamite, Kamille will be banned from ringside for the TBS Championship match with Hikaru Shida. How is she now preparing for the match? Mone mocks that question, then answers it by saying she prepares like she always does: TO WIN. Mone wants us to ask why Christopher Daniels has to be all up in Mone’s business! But while Shida got Daniels to ban Kamille, that doesn’t mean she’s banned tonight. So stay tuned to see what happens when you mess with Mone.

Sit-down interview with Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette moderates this face-to-face between The Babe with The Power, and the Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor. She thanks them for taking time to have this meeting. There are a lot of emotions here heading into their Chicago Street Fight for All Out. Renee has not really heard much from Kris, especially since Double Or Nothing and her turning on Willow. Can Kris walk us through that moment? Why then? Kris says she could go on, where should she begin? First, when Willow got to AEW. Who was by her side? Two Long Island girls just trying to make it big. When Kris was TBS Champion, she gave Willow a shot because she cared about her.
But when Kris lost the title, no one was there for her. Kris never got pinned, and where was her rematch? And who won it after? Willow! Willow says yeah, Kris got signed here while Willow was on the indies, grinding, cheering Kris, paying for PPVs just to watch Kris! And when Willow got here, yes, Kris was there for her. Willow was so happy, because of all people, no way Kris was gonna stab her in the back. Kris says let her finish. What did Willow not do while champion? Give Kris a chance. Willow knew how much that belt to Kris. Ever since winning that title and them becoming tag partners, it’s always been about Willow.
Willow says it feels like there’s one factor that really wasn’t present: Stokely. This has nothing to do with him! This is about Willow and Kris! Willow’s “I’m so nice, I’m always smiling, nothing matters!” persona. Of course nothing matters to Willow. Renee asks how it feels to hear all this. Willow says this is blindsiding. Which is funny given everything Kris has done to her. But there’s nothing that can be done now. They have a Street Fight, all the wrongs don’t matter. It only matters that Willow makes Kris pay. Kris is glad this is a Street Fight. Now Kris can have physical scars to go with the emotional ones,.
Willow is so lucky that Kris is a calm, calculated and composed person. She knows when it’s time to strike, and it’s at All Out. Kris storms out, but will she be the one standing in the end?

Mariah May speaks.
“When this championship touched my waist, it marked a new moment in wrestling history. The champion you always wanted but never knew you needed. I don’t run from fights, I get off on them. I haven’t shaken a single hand in that locker room because I know the best way to really get to know a woman is to make her scream at your feet. Ladies, I look forward to meeting you. But here I stand, the world desperately needs Glamour and I still haven’t had my AEW Women’s World Championship Celebration. Well, tomorrow is All Out. And there’s nothing more worth the money than watching me… be me.
“But the saddest part about being me is that I’ll never get to meet Mariah May.” The champ is playing coy, but will she bare it all before the world?
Hikaru Shida VS Deonna Purrazzo!
The Shining Samurai won that star-studded Fatal 4 Way last week, and she’s ready to sharpen her edge before going All Out with The CEO. But will Mone have an impact on this match here? Or will Shida handle her business with The Virtuosa before Mone makes a move?

Backstage interview with FTR.
Alicia Atout is with the Top Guys and brings up the last two weeks, GYV going after them. They almost had revenge until GYV ran away. Yes, two weeks in a row, GYV left FTR laying. FTR tried to give GYV a face-to-face interaction, but what happens? GYV tuck tail and run. That doesn’t seem very grizzled to them. But Dax likes these guys a lot, because they remind him of another team. Y’know, one guy’s bald, another with hair. It’s like GYV are a less talented FTR. FTR suggests that next week, Collision in Dayton, Ohio, we get for the first time ever, FTR VS GYV! And this will be them “welcoming” GYV to AEW. #TopGuysOut.
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and she says it was a valiant effort at All In. But then, what is next for them after losing out on the AEW World Tag Team Championships? Caster thanks Lexy, the effort was valiant. They’re looking live at the best wrestler alive, and let’s check his good side. Caster turns around, and asks what it says on his jacket. Best Wrestler Alive. That’s right! Jackets don’t lie! And look what they’ve done this year. No top team can beat them. The Bucks? Beat ’em! GYV? Beat ’em! FTR? 30 minute time limit, FTR hasn’t been the same since! The road back to the tag titles continues on for The Acclaimed!
And this time, they nut up or shut up! Bowens says that’s right! But then MXM peek in!

Speaking of, frost his tip. MXM go to boop but Daddy Ass grabs both fingers with one hand! Bowens says first off, EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed!
And secondly, there is only one team around here that does finger stuff! Let’s roll. Bowens, Caster & Billy head out. Mason says that wasn’t cute, Acclaimed. But will these teams meet again on that road to the AEW World Tag Team Championships?

Winners: Pac & Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall
Chicago fires up and The Elite can’t believe it! Yuta & Claudio just pinned the tag team champions, will they become AEW World Tag Team Champions tomorrow night? Will Pac use this momentum to become International Champion against Will Ospreay? What of Okada having to take on three men to defend his title? And will Bryan not stop chasing Jack until it’s time to go All Out?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision go-home, and a clever use of Rampage to give the main event even more time. Had to make a snap decision on that but it’s in both articles now so no worries. Awesome match in that main event, though part of the bleed over just makes me think they were going out of their way to stretch the match when they didn’t have to. Great win for Pac & BCC, but with Bryan and Jack disappearing before the end, you can’t really say their match is affected by go-home math. Mostly because, as I’ve said, Bryan is not losing the title so soon, and Jack isn’t becoming a double champion just yet. However, this all indicates Pac loses to Ospreay and The Bucks retain against Yuta & Claudio.
As for Okada, it is still a wash given the three contender matches tonight. I’m a little surprised both Cassidy and Briscoe made it in, but I suppose that does add a touch of intrigue given the “every man for himself” nature. Cassidy and Mark weren’t likely to win anyway, so it really comes down to Okada and Konosuke. Okada can retain without hurting Konosuke’s power level, and Konosuke can win the title without having to pin Okada, their story might even extend into October and WrestleDream. Given the nature of WrestleDream being dedicated to Antonio Inoki, you can bet Okada will want to be on that card, regardless if he’s champion going into it.
In relation to that, good promo from the Jericho Vortex to essentially right Ishii off of AEW TV while adding heat to Cassidy VS Keith. Cassidy of course won, but uh, I guess he didn’t have the $7000 in cash on him already or else Jericho stealing the backpack would’ve gotten him the money. And honestly, Cassidy’s response should just be, “Who cares? It’s a backpack. I can buy another one.” Effectively, he needs to tell Jericho to finally get over his jacket, and probably not go buying such expensive jackets at all. That will surely piss Jericho off, and we’ll still get a match out of these two to revisit a lot of that feud in 2020.
Good win for GYV over Iron Savages, and good bit with FTR confronting them. FTR also had a good promo after to bring up GYV not wanting to braw now. They didn’t put a match together for All Out so this feud probably waits until either the Dynamite anniversary episode or WrestleDream in October to give it the proper build and proper stage. Good stuff out of The Outrunners, gotta love them treating a win over “jobbers” as the biggest thing ever. This story continues over on Rampage where they sadly get jumped by Moxley & Marina, mostly to give Moxley & Marina heat.
Good promo from Acclaimed, and with MXM Collection crashing it to also hype their match on Rampage. And while Acclaimed called out big time teams, pretty sure they’ll feud with MXM first before going back to the tag titles. Good promo from Mone to foreshadow her and Kamille going after Shida. Shida VS Deonna was a great match and a great win for Shida, and then Shida standing tall against Mone & Kamille gives away that Mone retains at All Out. Chances are, Mone finds a way to cheat without Kamille, which will surely push Shida towards going Heel. And then good promo from Mariah to tease her exhibitionist celebration for All Out, which someone is bound to interrupt, setting up a title feud to head for October.
My Score: 8.9/10

Britt Baker speaks.
“Well, well, well, if it wasn’t another victorious homecoming for me, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. SO now what? Where do I go from here? I’ll tell you exactly where I go. Where I belong: in the AEW Women’s World Championship title picture. I haven’t had a one-on-one shot at that world title since I lost it. Time’s up. Mariah, I saw you watching me, watching my match. Well, I’ve been watching you, Mariah. I like what I see. But unfortunately for you, you have something I want. I’m done sitting at home waiting to be called upon. Contrary to popular opinion, I don’t expect anything to be handed to me.
“Title Tuesday, I’ll be there. I’ll be ready to fight. The road to redemption starts… now. Yours truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.” The Doctor is in, but will she be leaving after she’s “extracted” that gold from The Glamour?

Lexy Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Rocky Romero, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale. Willow asks if it’s cool for her to start off. The fellas say sure, and Willow says okay. Because Britt, they all heard what you had to say. And you’ll have to wait your turn, because Willow wants the title. She’s coming for Mariah May. But tonight, this is Toledo, Ohio! And Willow has a match with Trish Adora like, right now! She knows the boys have The Premier Athletes, but she’s gotta go. Bye! Willow heads out, Mark Briscoe says do your thing, girl! And Mark feels sorry for Trish Adora, because right here in Toledo, Willow’s gonna whoop ass!
And as for OC & Kyle, they have the Premier Athletes tonight, and it’ll be another premier ass whoopin’ right here in Ohio! And as for Chris Jericho, Mark will address you real shortly. But tonight is about The Conglomeration! They’re getting down in Ohio, and tonight, the words of the day are “Diversification” and “Sophistication.” The Conglomeration is the most diverse and sophisticated group in pro-wrestling history! Understand what he’s saying? There ain’t no stopping! They’re The Conglomeration, they’re her, and they ain’t going nowhere! RARARARA! Kyle & Rocky are fired up, and Cassidy says Mark’s getting better, but just not quite there yet.
Willow Nightingale VS Trish Adora!
As The Babe with the Power said, she is aiming right at Mariah May, but who isn’t when we’re talking THE AEW Women’s World Champion? In fact, Mariah is in the crowd to watch this match like she did Britt in Pittsburgh. Will Willow prove she’s first in line, NOT The Doctor? Or will The AfroPunk completely flip the script?

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Private Party, by pinfall
Five years later and it’s another shocker! Perry taunts Shibata with the TNT Championship, but The Bucks do give applause to Private Party. Will The Elite have to be much more careful if they want to keep their gold?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Private Party may have won tonight, but they still need to earn their title shot! They’ll be in a Triple Threat against Top Flight’s Darius & Dante Martin and The House of Black’s Malakai Black & Buddy Murphy! The winners will be the NEW #1 contenders, who will get to live the WrestleDream against The Bucks? Plus, other rising tag teams are in action as the Grrrizzled Young Veterans take on The Outrunners! Will Zack Gibson & James Drake make everyone understand they are SSSSOON to be recognized as AEW’s top guys? Or will the Youngest Men Alive show ’em that they ain’t seen nothing yet?
Then, while Wheeler Yuta is preparing to team with Bryan Danielson against former friends in Claudio Castagnoli & Pac, he is going to have a 1v1 match with BEEF! Will Anthony Henry’s second cousin through marriage just be an appetizer before the main course on Dynamite? Darby Allin may have made an Open Challenge for WrestleDream, he has a Collision with Johnny TV! Will Darby show us all how relentless he is? Or will he find he’s just not #TVReady? If you thought last week’s Lucha Libre Triple Threat was something, this week is a Fatal 4 Way of Hologram, Komander, Action Andretti and Nick Wayne!
Plus, Willow Nightingale is targeting Mariah May and the AEW Women’s World Championship, but she takes on The Infantry’s Trish Adora first. Will The Babe with the Power use The AfroPunk as a tune-up for the title match? Lastly, while The Conglomeration is in action against The Learning Tree’s Branches here tonight, they’ll have to turn right back around to face The Premier Athletes, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Will this whole weekend be Freshly Squeezed?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and notes we haven’t seen Kris in action since her win at All Out. What does she have her sights set on next? Kris says we could all sense that Chicago Street Fight was the end of an era for her. She has been in a group, she has had a manager, and with the anniversary of Dynamite just passing, let’s bring it back to how she started in AEW: on her own. Kris is stronger, more independent, she’s like, a “Born Again Kristen.” We all saw that she is the toughest, the strongest, and- Kamille steps in. The Brickhouse asks if that’s right. Biggest? Toughest? Strongest? Her match is next.
Kamille pushes past Kris, and Mercedes Mone follows. The CEO tells Kris, “You better watch, b*tch.” Mone laughs, did she just put herself on Kris’ radar?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the wacky Aussie and says while she’s in a match tonight with Queen Aminata, does Harley have an update on Saraya after that vicious match with Jamie Hayter? Harley says Saraya is currently incapacitated. No further questions. But what about her match with- NO further questions! Then what about…? Oh, yes, yes, her match. She should say something on that. Harley tells Aminata, “You are in a lot of trouble. RAWR!” That’ll do, right? Sure… Harley heads out, will she take out her frustrations on Aminata tonight? Or is she going to end up “incapacitated” alongside Saraya?
Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Zoey Lynn!
The Brickhouse is The CEO’s big investment, and insurance policy. Will the former NWA World Women’s Champion remind us why she is a former NWA World Women’s Champion? Or can Zoey bring her down with some Angel Dust?
The bell rings and Kamille SPEARS Zoey!! The fans boo but Mone says Kamille has arrived! Kamille drags Zoey up, dragon sleepers, and TWISTING NECKBREAKER! Cover, Kamille wins!
Winner: Kamille, by pinfall
Mone raises Kamille’s hand as they both stand over Zoey Lynn. Between The CEO and The Brickhouse, will no one stop them from taking over AEW?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Queenslayer, and says she had a tremendous showing in her return to AEW last week. It got a lot of people’s attention, but especially Will Ospreay. Anna says yes, Ospreay tweeted out a compliment on how great she has improved, from footwork to pacing, so she thanks Ospreay for that. He’s not too bad himself. Having one of the greatest wrestlers alive today see your hard work paying off is one of the best feelings ever. So if Ospreay sees it, then you know the AEW Women’s Division is seeing it. So if you don’t take her word for it, and if you don’t take Ospreay’s word for it, just do her a favor and try her.
Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie speak.
The Virtuosa says, “This thing of ours operates according to a code. That those who want respect give respect.” La Wera Loca says, “It’s simple, elegant.” Deonna has shown Taya generosity, and Taya accepted it. Despite early missteps, Deonna remains committed to this thing of theirs, because Taya has earned Deonna’s respect by owning the misstep. Taya says there is much to learn for “I” to become “We.” Deonna says that is what is missing in a place like AEW. These two must teach AEW that they are all bound together by the code. Those that want respect must give respect. And those who refuse get it beaten into them!
Queen Aminata VS Harley Cameron!
The One True African Woman may have Serena Deeb in her sights, and the wacky Aussie may have Jamie Hayter on her mind, they both must focus on who is in the ring with them. Will Aminata prove to the Professor that she doesn’t need the lessons? Or can Harley show Hayter that she’s not the only one who hits hard?
The bell rings, the two circle, and Harley KNEES low! Harley headlocks, Aminata powers up and out, then waistlocks. Harley fights the lift, throws elbows, then runs. Aminata gets around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans fire up while Harley hobbles up. Aminata and Harley circle again, Harley gets around to waistlock, but Aminata wrenches out. Aminata wristlocks, brings Harley down, then steps over to twerk attack! Aminata wrenches more, but Harley kicks low! And KICKS again! And ENZIGIRIS! Aminata wobbles, Harley brings Aminata in and, uh, wait, aren’t The Iron Savages the ones who take us to Tiddy City?
Harley runs, but Aminata ROCKS her! Amianta snapmares Harley, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Aminata smiles, and she stalks Harley to a corner. Aminata runs around the world to BOOT WASH! Aminata reminds us she is the one and only, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Aminata pushes Harley around, brings her up, but Harley bails out. Harley says timeout, but Aminata goes out after her. Aminata storms up but Harley KNEES her low, then THROWS her by her hair! Harley CHOKES Aminata on the outside, but Aminata kicks her away. The ref reprimands but Harley grins. Harley storms up on Aminata, SMACKS her off the apron, and then soaks up heat. Harley puts Aminata in the ring, continues to play coy, then storms up to HIP DROP Aminata. Cover, TWO! Harley is annoyed but Aminata fires body shots. Harley CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on a chinlock.
Harley grinds Aminata down, but Aminata endures. Aminata fights up, fights back, but Harley knees low again! Harley bumps Aminata off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, but steps off as the ref counts. Harley bumps Aminata off more buckles, then grinds her boot in. The ref counts, Harley steps back, and she drags Aminata up. Harley brings Aminata around to throw her down by her hair! Cover, TWO! Aminata stays in this, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Harley ELBOWS Aminata in the shoulder! And ELBOWS her again! Harley LICKS Aminata, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Harley overcommitted on that deep leg hook, and Amianta survives for it. Harley runs in, but Aminata puts her on the apron! Harley ROUNDHOUSES, puts Aminata in ropes, and AX KICKS her down! The fans boo but Harley aims, to then run and- NO, Aminata blocks the kick to trip Harley up! Harley hits the apron hard, and Aminata brings her around. DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Aminata puts Harley in the ring. Aminata storms up but Harley fires forearms!
Aminata ROCKS Harley! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Harley falls, jumps back up, but Aminata wrenches and snap suplexes! And LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Aminata stays cool. Aminata runs in again, but Harley avoids the boot wash! Harley RAMS into Aminata again and again, but the ref counts. Harley lets off, huffs ‘n’ puffs, then runs in. Aminata goes up and over, comes back, and she catches Harley’s crossbody! The fans cheer as Amianta swings, but Harley sunset flips through! High stack, TWO! Aminat ais up, she dodges Harley, and scoops again! Harley tilt-o-whirls but Aminata powers her to a BACKBREAKER!
The fans fire up, QUEEN’S CROWN!! Cover, Aminata wins!
Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall
The former #BrainDrain gives Aminata a great win, but then Serena Deeb attacks from behind!! The Professor is pissed, and she SLAMS Amianta’s leg on the apron! Serena grins as she grabs the leg and pulls it against ropes in a HALF CRAB! Aminata taps, but here comes Britt Baker! The Doctor is returning the favor from Wednesday, but Serena bails! The Professor got her shots on Aminata, but will the walls start closing in?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Renee is now with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and Caster is still sporting the remade jacket. With that, let’s talk MXM Collection. It is hard to keep track of what is going on, but Billy speaks up. He doesn’t mean to correct her, but he is “Hans!” Hans Gunn! But MXM, how stupid are you to not know it was Billy? It was Billy all along! So stupid, trying to embarrass The Best Wrestler Alive, try to embarrass The Acclaimed, with a makeover on Caster’s jacket. Y’know what? Caster likes the lace, how it makes his arms look bigger. And this heart cutout makes his muscles look popping! He looks as handsome as ever!
Bowens says that’s right! Before, they were gonna cut that thing up. But no, MXM just embarrassed themselves. Acclaimed said to nut up or shut up, and they sure shut up MXM real quick. Just like they will do if they get in the ring. Because once The Acclaimed is done with MXM, they will get the makeover of a lifetime. WHY? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! When and where will Platinum Max & The Scissor King cut down the Sultan of Suave and the Mahogany Hunk?
BREAKING NEWS for WrestleDream!
After Konosuke Takeshita attacked Will Ospreay and Ricochet on Wednesday, it seems the only way to settle this International Championship scenario is with a TRIPLE THREAT! Will The Alpha finally have gold in AEW? Will the Aerial Assassin finally be done with The Don Callis Family? Or are they both overlooking The One & Only?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!
The Conglomeration has been very busy this week. They were here Wednesday to confront The Learning Tree, and we now have Mark Briscoe VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream. But speaking of, Jericho is joining commentary to watch his guys, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist prune these Branches? Or will they be made to respect Chris Jericho?
The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Bill. The fans rally as Cassidy and Bill stare down, and Bill mocks the hands in pockets. The fans boo, but Bill says show him how it’s done then. Cassidy puts his hands near pockets, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges, sunset flips, but Bill stays standing. Cassidy stops trying, and Bill YANKS Cassidy up! Bill whips, Cassidy stops by holding ropes, and then Casidy bails out. Cassidy shakes his head, knowing his limits against a man as big as Bill. Bill mockingly holds the ropes open and calls to Cassidy like a puppy dog. Cassidy steps up, but then rolls into the ring.
The fans cheer as Cassidy lounges on the mat. Bill storms up but then Cassidy rolls back out of the ring. The fans cheer more while Bill gets annoyed. Bill storms out, Cassidy slides in! Bill steps back in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tags Kyle! Kyle runs up but Bill RAMS him! Kyle drops out of the ring and the fans cheer. Bill is annoyed as he watches Kyle & Cassidy coordinate. They go up, Bill runs up, but The Conglomeration drops back. Bill is getting mad, but The Conglomeration high-five and the fans cheer. Keith says don’t worry, Bill, just cool down. Keith and Bill talk strategy while Kyle finally returns.
Bill tags Keith and the fans rally up. Keith and Kyle circle, but Keith takes a swing on Cassidy! Cassidy avoids it, and Kyel waistlocks to then wrangle Keith. Kyle floats all over, slaps Keith around, then eggs him on. The fans cheer, but Keith frowns. Keith SLAPS Kyel! Kyle storms up, Keith bails out, and the chase is on. Bill is lurking, but Kyel dodges him! BOOT for Keith! But Bill has Kyle with the guzel! CHOKE- NO, Cassidy DROPKICKS Bill! Bill lets Kyle go but he also stays up. Bill frowns, but Kyle BOOTS him, then Kyle FLYING KNEES Keith! Cassidy DIVES and he sends Bill into railing! Kyle pushes Keith into Bill, and then KICKS!
Cassidy “kicks,” Kyle KICKS, and repeat as Rampage goes pictur ein pnicture!
The KICKS and kicks keep going, then it’s just all KICKS as Cassidy gets serious! The Conglomeration puts Keith in, DOUBLE KICK Bill, then Kyle hurries into the ring. Kyle fires knees into Keith, then tags Cassidy. They whip Keith, kitchen sink knee, and basement dropkick! Kyle runs to KNEE DROP, Cassidy runs up, to cover! TWO! Cassidy checks and yes, it was a two count, so Cassidy gives thumbs up. Cassidy brings Keith up, ROCKS him, and tags in Kyle. Kyle climbs up and rains down fists!

Kyle paces around, we get a great shot coming through one of the Pittsburgh University halls, and Rampage returns to single picture. Kyle tags Cassidy, they mug Keith but Keith fights back! Keith suplexes Cassidy, but gets STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE!
Kyle steps up to AX & SMASH! Kyle clinches Keith, Cassidy takes aim, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges Bill, Keith breaks free of Kyle, and Cassidy runs at Keith! Keith ducks the Orange Punch to send Cassidy back at Bill for a HAYMAKER! Keith hits an EXPLODER on Cassidy, but Kyle grabs a leg! ANKLE LOCK!! Jericho shouts to roll out, Keith does roll, and Kyle is sent into a HAYMAKER! Keith waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Tag to Bill and the fans are torn.

Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls on Bill, but Bill stops the DDT! Kyle slips in, and he dropkicks Bill’s leg! Bill drops to a knee, but he still holds Cassidy up!

Winners: Kyle O’Reilly & Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
The numbers game didn’t go how Jericho wanted, and his team is on the losing end! Will this be the same for when The Learning Tree takes on The Sussex County Chicken in Tacoma, Washington? Or will The Ocho still become The Nueve?
Meanwhile, Kyle & Cassidy only have 24 hours to rest, because they have a Collision with The Premier Athletes tomorrow night! Will Pittsburgh be Freshly Squeezed all weekend long?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, which is interesting as there’s word Rampage is going to be shut down for whatever show AEW puts on Fox Sports 1. Honestly, they should’ve been trying hard the whole time with Rampage but whatever. Kamille probably had the shortest squash match in AEW yet, but it was to make a point after she and Mone got in Kris’s face. Kris’s promo was still rather Heel like, but it’s a bit surprising that she and Stokely Hathaway have just parted ways with no real pomp or circumstance. And pitting her against Kamille and Mone would be quite the way to turn her back to Face. Not that Kris’s attitude needs to change, she’d just be Face by default with those two.
Very good promo from Deonna & Taya, this maybe should’ve been given to us a bit sooner, but it also doesn’t really add much to the story. Good promo from Anna Jay, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Good promo from Harley to segue into her match, which was a great match. Like Anna Jay, Harley is really improving, but Aminata still gets a great win. But of course Serena attacks Aminata, and then of course Britt Baker saves Aminata. I feel like we could get a tag match of Britt & Aminata VS Serena and who knows, but it’d be a great opportunity for any Heel to get on TV, maybe have someone actually take Serena up on teaching them things.
Great opening Six Man Tag tonight, definitely higher quality than what they usually put on Rampage. And it was rather surprising Shibata & Private Party took the win here, if only because they also announced that Triple Threat #1 Contenders match during it. I kinda though that news undercut what was going on in the match, regardless of who won. But given the feud between House of Black and Top Flight, I feel like Private Party wins out and they get the tag title match. As it stands, it doesn’t feel like Shibata or Private Party win the titles at WrestleDream, mostly because The Elite might cheat, but it’d be so great if Private Party finally won the big one.
And great main event here, even if this feud of Conglomeration and #JerichoVortex is going a little longer than needed. I really hope Jericho VS Briscoe for the ROH World Championship is the blowoff, and hopefully with Briscoe retaining. Not sure what that would mean for either team, but if it’s what we’ve all been hoping, i.e. Jericho mistreating Bill and Bill turning on Jericho, that’d be nice. Bill can maybe get himself going on a title story, too, using even just one win over Jericho as the springboard towards the TNT or Continental Championships.
My Score: 8.8/10
