Daniel Garcia is here!
Milwaukee fires up as Red Death storms his way to the ring and grabs himself a mic. “Hey! Hey! Hey! They say that patience is a virtue. And Max, I know you’re somewhere in this building, and I’m not feeling very virtuous tonight! I’m not waitin’ for All Out, I wanna break your neck right here in Milwaukee! Let’s go!” MJF sings “Oh Danny Boy~, the pipes, the pipes…” MJF gets Garcia’s attention from high up in the crowd. MJF is up there because he doesn’t wanna ruin their big match for Saturday by whooping his ass. Not that MJF wouldn’t take a great deal of pleasure in it, it’s just he doesn’t want excuses when he paints the canvas in Garcia’s blood, and breaks that pencil neck.
The fans boo but Garcia shakes his head. MJF says unlike Garcia, he doesn’t attack from behind like a coward. Fans boo more, we know that’s not true. But MJF says he sure doesn’t do it looking like an emaciated skinhead hooked on Ozempic. Fans boo more but Garcia rolls his eyes. Unbelievable. MJF really thinks everyone here believes a thing that came out of his mouth? We all know that everything MJF just said is fake and a lie. But that’s fitting, since everything about MJF is a fake and a lie. From his tan to his make-up to cover up the acne, to the trip that he took to Turkey to get a hair transplant that didn’t even work!
MJF gets riled up but Garcia says the thing that makes him sick is the fakest thing about MJF: his fake love for AEW! MJF doesn’t care about this place like Garcia does! MJF doesn’t love the people like Garcia loves the people! And MJF can get as many fake tattoos painted on the back of his leg that he wants, the fans will never believe him. MJF tells Garcia this is fair warning, he will make Garcia bleed buckets. Garcia tells MJF to shut up and listen to Garcia for once. The fans fire up and Garcia says last week, he said he was obsessed with ruining MJF’s life. He meant every single word. He wants MJF to suffer, and he wants those who love MJF to suffer.
So here’s the thing: If MJF can ever find a woman who can pretend to care about him for longer than a year, he should marry her, get a house, even have a kid. Just know that every time MJF picks up that ugly ass baby, he’ll feel a tingle from his neck to his toes, and he’ll think about Garcia. The fans fire up behind Garcia, and he tells MJF, that kid will ask MJF, “Daddy, were you a wrestler?” And MJF will have to say the truest statement ever in his life: “I was, until Daniel Garcia ended my career.” MJF stands up, and applauds? MJF says bravo, Garcia! Did we all hear that? Danny learned how to speak!
MJF says Garcia still has so much more to learn, and so much more maturing to do. When MJF cost Garcia and dumped him on that bulbous head of his, that was MJF doing Garcia a solid. Garcia can’t trust anybody. Look at MJF. MJF was the favorite, the fans used to love him. The fans are torn, and MJF says it is too little, too late. So keep your mouths shut while the only human that matters is speaking. But the fans loved him, MJF got too big, and these rats turned on him! Garcia doesn’t want their love, their affection, the accolades. The more you rise up, the more these fickle bastards will want you to fall.
So MJF will do Garcia a favor this Saturday. Garcia’s friends, family and friends will turn on him, but MJF will make sure they can’t hurt Garcia the way they hurt MJF. Fans boo and tell MJF to STFU. MJF will do that… by putting Garcia in a wheelchair! Don’t worry, there is one person you can trust, and that is Garcia’s mom. Don’t “ooh” at that, folks. Mama Garcia will take care of Danny while he’s stuck in bed. Lord knows he’s not the first man lying on their backs in her bed, that she happily attended to. The fans boo, but then Garcia rushes out of the ring! MJF has security hurry, but Garcia TOSSES one guy, throws hands on another, only to be swarmed by the rest!
The fans boo but MJF mockingly waves bye. But Garcia fights free! The fans fire up as Garcia hurries up the bleachers! Garcia CLOBBERS the last line of defense, but MJF SMASHES a bottle of wine on Garcia’s face!! The fans boo, but MJF dusts himself off. The Wolf of Wrestling set a trap for the Dragonslayer, and then sits up a bloodied Garcia so they can sit on the steps together. MJF tells Garcia that every man must go through Hell before they reach Paradise. So MJF will do what Garcia refused to with him. MJF thanks Garcia. Garcia woke up something in MJF that was dormant for far too long.
As a token of gratitude, this Saturday, MJF will send Garcia straight to Paradise. For that, Garcia can thank MJF later. MJF kisses the bloody forehead wound, then smiles. The fans tell MJF is sick, but did MJF just wake up something in Garcia that will haunt him for the rest of his life?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is with Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Willow Nightingale. It has been such a big week for them all, but let’s talk All Out. This Saturday, Willow will take on Kris Statlander in a Chicago Street Fight! But on a special Friday Night Collision, we also get an exclusive face-to-face between them. But in tonight’s main event, taking on the Blackpool Combat Club, it will be Cassidy, Kyle & International Champion, Will Ospreay! Ospreay steps in to say oi, what’s up? Renee asks him how it feels to be an honorary member of The Conglomeration, and Ospreay says he is super pumped.
Ospreay thanks Mark Briscoe for this opportunity. But he does have to ask, going into this battle, does Mark have any words of wisdom for them tonight? Kyle also wonders, and looks over to Mark. Mark says just the other day, he got a call on his phone. It was his good pal, Kyle, and Mark said hello. Kyle said they have a proposition for a match on Wednesday Night Dynamite: Kyle, Cassidy & Ospreay VS BCC & Bastard, can they get Mark’s blessings for that? Mark said, “Will?” Yeah, Will. As in British Bill the Real Deal, bringing the thrills, leaving the opposition taking pain pills? Yes, that Will! Ospreay? Yeah! Then hell yeah! Time to conglomerate!
Tonight, the main event, boys, time to whoop some ass! The word of the day today is obvious, it is STUPENDOUS! Because this is one of the most stupendous lads to ever step foot in the pro-wrestling ring! BCC, Pac, Milwaukee, you better be ready! Let’s go, boys! RARARARA! The Chicken leads the way for Cassidy, Kyle & Ospreay, will they be rolling into Chicago with all the momentum?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
With it being on a special night, it will also be a special night! A Continental Contenders Challenge has been created, in which three matches pit some of the best in AEW against each other! Orange Cassidy VS Bryan Keith, Mark Briscoe VS Lance Archer, and The Beast Mortos VS Konosuke Takeshita! The three winners will then go on to a Fatal 4 Way match at All Out, where they will meet the winner of tonight’s title match!
AEW Continental Championship: Kazuchika Okada VS Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis!
The Rainmaker has only defended this title a few times since winning it, but we’ve seen him be very busy alongside The Elite. Will Okada still make it reign even this close to All Out? Or can the Aussie Arrow shoot down this golden target?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who goes all out before All Out!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already, seeing Okada and Kyle face off 1v1 for the first time anywhere. Okada and Kyle circle, tie up, and the fans are loudly chanting, “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!” “OI OI OI!” The two tie up, Okada waistlocks, but Kyle wrenches free to wristlock. Okada rolls, wrenches, but Kyle rolls and wrenches back. Kyle spins Okada, snapmares, then chinlocks. The fans cheer while Okada endures. Okada fights up, Kyle cranks the headlock, but Okada puts him on ropes. The ref counts, Okada lets off, and then he fakes the chop to pat Kyle on the shoulders. The fans and Kyle applaud, everyone knowing that trick.
The two reset, feel things out, and Okada kicks low. Okada headlocks, Kyle powers up and out, then hurdles. Things keep moving, Okada drops then hurdles, but Kyle scoops!

Okada CLUBS Kyle, fires off forearms, to the rhythm of the “OI OI OI!” Aussie Aussie Aussie, forearm, forearm, forearm! Aussie! Forearm! Aussie! Forearm! Aussie Aussie Aussie forearm, forearm, forearm!

Kyle is tougher than that, but Okada clamps on a chinlock. Kyle endures, fights around, but Okada cranks the hold. Kyle fights up, fires body shots, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

Standard formula leads Okada to the corner!
Okada climbs, to MACHO ELBOW! Okada then feels the energy from the fans, and he gets them even hotter, for the MIDDLE FINGER! The fans are torn, no more Rainmaker Pose. Okada brings Kyle up, ripcords, but Kyle scoops! MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Okada survives and Kyle has to check with the ref! Kyle can’t believe it, but it was two. Okada bails out, Callis says that is a smart move, but Callis also knows Kyle still has something up his proverbial sleeve. The ring count climbs, Kyle goes out after Okada, but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Seems Okada had something up his sleeve instead!
Okada puts Kyle in the ring, then drags him back out onto the apron. The count stops and the ref cautions Okada, but Okada gut wrenches! Kyle fights free! And SUPERKICKS! Okada wobbles, then Kyle reels him in! Suplex, APRON BRAINBUSTER!! Callis says that has to be it! The fans are losing their minds, the ref is checking both men, and they’re somehow still in this! The ring count returns, and Dynamite goes picture in picture again.
Okada and Kyle stir, slowly sit up, and they both stand at 8 of 10! They jump in at 9.5! Kyle grits his teeth as he forces himself to sit up again, and Okada follows.

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW Continental Champion)
Don Callis is upset, it’s usually his side that cheats! But speaking of, Konosuke Takeshita storms out here! The Alpha reminds Okada that he’s in the Continental Contenders Challenge on Collision! Will Konosuke avenge Kyle by making it to Chicago?
AEW was with Swerve Strickland earlier this week.
The Realest and Prince Nana were in Washington state for a very special moment for Swerve and his family. This was Swerve’s neighborhood home. The tree right outside, Swerve climbed it, fell out of it, and learned how to be fearless. It wasn’t always smiles and roses, there were hard times. The house was foreclosed on, they couldn’t get it back, they were evicted. Swerve promised that no matter what, he’d make the money to buy it back. And as of last week, signing his extension with AEW, Swerve is now the proud owner of his childhood home. Swerve thanks Nana, they hug it out, and it is truly whose house? Swerve’s House!
Jamie Hayter VS Robyn Renegade!
She put The Outcasts on notice when she returned to AEW at All In, and then again when she clobbered Harley Cameron on Collision! But will Hayter Hit Hard again and again until she’s back on top? Or will she be caught off guard by this Renegade?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. But Robyn pie faces and talks smack. So Jamie DECKS her! Jamie whips Robyn while the Outcasts watch backstage. Jamie runs up, Robyn ELBOWS her, and Harley mockingly says she didn’t see that coming, huh? Robyn runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Jamie RUNS Robyn over! The fans fire up as Jamie drags Robyn up, reels her in, and suplexes. Robyn knees free, runs, and SHOTGUNS! Jamie rebounds to LARIAT! The fans fire up and Jamie fires up, too! Jamie runs in at the corner but Robyn dodges. Robyn comes back and DOUBLE KNEES! Robyn whips, runs in, and DOUBLE KNEES again!
Robyn taunts the fans, whips corner to corner again, but Jamie comes back to BOOT! The fans fire up and Jamie dusts herself off. Jamie stalks Robyn to the apron, but Robyn KICKS her! And KNEES her in the ropes! Robyn taunts Jamie before she jumps and DOUBLE STOMPS! Jamie staggers into the ring, Robyn goes up and up, then leaps, into a POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Jamie storms around. Jamie drags Robyn up, HATE BREAKER! HATE BREAKER again! And HATE BREAKER again! Robyn writhes but Jamie pumps up the arm! Jamie hammerlocks, cording hold, HAYTERADE! Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Hayter does hit hard, but Harley assures Saraya that she can take her. Will Jamie prove them both very wrong very soon?
Backstage interview with Roderick Strong.
Renee is now with the Savior of the Backbreaker, but also Christopher Daniels. We just reviewed the footage, and Roddy points it out: his foot was under the ropes when he tapped out! It shouldn’t count! Daniels knows, he saw it, too. The ref did not know about Roddy’s foot until after watching it back. Roddy doesn’t care about excuses, he- Uh oh, here comes Hook! Daniels keeps Hook back. Hook tells Roddy he’s not wrong. Roddy’s foot was under the ropes, so fair enough. Let’s settle it. Roddy VS Hook, FTW Championship, here tonight in Milwaukee! Roddy tells “HOOOOK!” He’s good, man. Really.
But Roddy’s not fighting Hook here in this dump of a town! But he will call his shot real soon. And Hook will be the first to know when. Roddy leaves, the Fallen Angel keeps the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil from going after him. When and where will Roddy look to #SendHook home without that belt?
There’s something going on backstage!
Marina Shafir is tossing people around! Jon Moxley follows behind her warpath as she KICKS and TOSSES a security guard! The Problem & The Maniac then cross paths with The Elite. Matthew says hi, Mox, what’s up? Moxley replies with, “Gentlemen.” Then he looks Jack Perry up and down. Moxley doesn’t care what they say, Jack’s a good kid. Jack smiles, and Moxley now leads the way to gorilla. We hear what business Moxley has with AEW tonight, after the break.
Jon Moxley heads to the ring.
AEW returns as The Maniac walks with Marina Shafir through the crowd from the back side, then he grabs a mic. “I wonder if Darby Allin is somewhere out there in Milwaukee tonight. No, I don’t think so. Some years ago, I wrestled a young kid I’d never heard of. Nobody had, he had nothing in the world, he slept in his car, he had no chance against me, but he showed no fear. I beat the absolute piss outta that kid for 20 minutes, and afterward, he looked at me and he smiled. In that moment, I knew, that kid was special. And I still think that.” The fans cheer that.
Moxley says Darby is his own man, walks his own path, and more importantly than that, he plays the game the way it was meant to be played: with reckless abandon. Darby Allin knows that the chance to be in this sport, the greatest sport in the world, just the chance to be in this business, to get into this ring, to perform in front of all these people on this TV show, is a privilege! That is not something you are entitled to. How quickly we forget. Moxley is not an impatient man, but the clock is ticking. He just wants to talk, so let’s make this easy. Moxley doesn’t wanna apply any pressure, but he will, so don’t make him.
Darby, Moxley just wants to talk. Moxley drops the mic, then takes his leave, Marina following behind. What exactly does Moxley want to talk about? Will the Relentless One hear him out?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho, “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.
Renee is now with The Learning Tree, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Ever since last week’s massive match with The Conglomeration & Hook, it seems Jericho has wanted to get something off his chest. What’s on his mind? “Hi, guys~!” But Jericho doesn’t think Cassidy realizes the severity of what he did when he ruined Jericho’s $7,000 jacket a few years ago. And while Cassidy may not remember it, Jericho will never forget, so here’s a reminder of the heinous atrocity he committed.
Footage flashbacks us to July 15th, 2020. Jericho and his Jericho Appreciate Society were calling Cassidy out at Daily’s Place. Cassidy did appear, and he gave a lazy thumbs down! Orange juice rained from above, and turned Jericho’s jacket from white to pale orange! Return to the present and Jericho again says it was $7,000! Jericho wants that back. That’s why on Friday, the Continental Contenders Challenge, Keith will freshly squeeze that out of Cassidy’s hide! Bill says that as Jericho has always taught them, “The true indication of a man’s character does not lie within his heart, it lies within his ability to make good on his debts.”
Keith shouts, “MAKE GOOD ON YOUR DEBTS!” Wait, Cassidy walks in. And he says he’ll make this easy for them. Tell Chris Jericho (who is right next to Cassidy), that if Keith wins on Friday, Cassidy will hand over $7,000 in cash. Hey, Renee. Cassidy leaves, and Keith is furious over this disrespect! Keith says on Collision, he makes sure Cassidy pays the damn price! Will the Bad Apple beat the pulp out of Orange Cassidy? Or is Jericho never getting that money?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Mariah May VS Nyla Rose!
Forget Beauty & The Beast, this is Glamour VS The Native Beast! Will Nyla end Mariah’s twisted fairytale and be back atop the mountain? Or will Mariah have Nyla shouting, “MAYDAY! MAYDAY!” as she’s going down?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who shines under the spotlight!
The bell rings and Mariah circles with Nyla while the fans rally up. The two step up, and Mariah SLAPS Nyla! Nyla smiles, and she grabs Mariah by the throat! Nyla puts Mariah on ropes, but Mariah just SLAPS again! Mariah talks smack, but Nyla TOSSES her to a corner! Nyla runs up, Mariah dodges, and she SLAPS again! Nyla kicks low, reels Mariah in, but Mariah scurries under! Mariah then SLAPS Nyla again! That’s four times already! Mariah gives more slaps, even more mocking each time. Nyla just gets pissed! She fireman’s carries Mariah, but Mariah slips free to CLUB Nyla! Mariah runs, tries a trip, but Nyla stays up!
Mariah avoids a stomp, KICKS from below, but Nyla CROSSBODIES! The fans fire up and Nyla mocks Mariah’s sassy posing. Nyla sits Mariah up to ELBOW her in the head! Nyla scoops to SLAM Mariah, then drags her up, for another scoop and SLAM! Mariah writhes, Nyla leg drops! Cover, TWO! Nyla is annoyed but she drags Mariah up. Nyla CLUBS Mariah, hoist her onto the ropes but Mariah slips down! Mariah HOTSHOTS Nyla, hurries up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, ONE!!! Nyla shocks Mariah, and then Mariah gets mad. Mariah storms up to stomp in the corner, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref counts, Mariah lets off at 4, and Nyla sputters as she rises up. Mariah storms back over, CHOPS Nyla, then soaks up the cheers and jeers. Mariah runs corner to corner, to UPPERCUT! Mariah keeps moving, having fun now. Mariah runs back in, to UPPERCUT again! Mariah says one more time, and she goes corner to corner, to UPPERCUT! Nyla staggers and Mariah acts all innocent. Mariah then sees Nyla go to another corner, she runs in, but Nyla catches her, to BULLDOG! And SPLASH, but onto knees! Mariah clamps onto Nyla with a facelock, grinds her down, but Nyla endures. Nyla rises, but Mariah thrashes to keep her down.
Nyla continues to fight, she rises up, and she picks Mariah up, only for Mariah to make it a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Dynamite returns to single picture, and Nyla RAMS Mariah into a corner! Nyla runs up, Mariah goes up and over! Nyla hits buckles, staggers back, and Mariah rains down fists! Mariah runs, to SHOTGUN! Nyla falls, Mariah covers, ONE!! Nyla is still toughing it out, so Mariah hauls her up. Mariah underhooks, Nyla wrenches out, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS collide! Both women thinking the same thing, and they both fall back! The fans fire up as Nyla and Mariah sputter and stir!
A standing count begins, and we reach 5 of 10 while the fans rally up. Mariah and Nyla sit up, and head for each other. They both rise, and Mariah fires a forearm! Nyla fires back! Mariah fires another! Nyla snarls and fires back! Mariah goes to ropes, comes back and ROCKS Nyla! And again, and again, and again! Mariah HAMMERS away, then runs, but into a KNEE! Nyla kisses Mariah, runs, but Mariah ROCKS her! Mariah keeps moving, but Nyla gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah tumbles and the fans fire up again! Mariah is in a corner, Nyla runs up to SPLASH! Then a whip right back into the corner!
Nyla runs in again, BACK BODY BLOCK, and a LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mariah is still in this and Nyla gets mad! The fans rally, Nyla rises and drags Mariah in. BEAST- NO, Mariah grabs ropes, and rains down fists! Mariah kicks Nyla away, adjusts position, then leaps, CROSSBODY! Nyla rolls through and deadlifts Mariah! The fans fire up for the POWERSLAM! Mariah flounders out of the ring and the fans are torn. Nyla is frustrated, the ref tells Mariah she has to get back in. The ref checks Mariah, Mariah slowly rises, but Nyla goes to the steps. Mariah lunges to trip Nyla up! Nyla lands hard on steps, and Mariah grins as she tricks the beast!
Mariah runs to KNEE Nyla off the steps! Mariah rolls into the ring to let the count handle this. Nyla is still down at 5 of 10, but the fans rally up. Mariah mocks Toni Storm as she frolics and rolls around. Nyla stands at 8! Nyla hobbles at 9, and lunges in at 9.9!! Mariah is furious, the fans fire up, and Mariah runs up to KNEE Nyla! Then she reels Nyla in for STORM ZERO!! Cover, Mariah wins!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
It wasn’t strength but Glamour that killed the beast! Mariah gloats and raises the belt high, but this was just her first defense. Will she have to fight even harder to stay on top of this division?
Deonna Purrazzo speaks.
“Every great artist goes through phases. Picasso’s Blue Period, Tchaikovsky’s Conservatory Years. The Texas Bull Rope Match was meant to be MY magnum opus. The crowning moment in the development of the Age of the Virtuosa.” Deonna throws her glass against the wall, and says it was not. But that doesn’t mean she’s done making her art. No, no, no. She has only just begun. Deonna will take on Hikaru Shida this Friday, will she prove the Shining Samurai is not ready to go All Out?
Mercedes Mone is here!
The CEO, who is still the Two Belt Boss after NJPW Capital Collision last Friday, walks out with The Brickhouse by her side. Between that and her facing Shida this Saturday, that would explain Mone’s kimono style outfit. Mone steps into the ring, grabs a mic, and tells “Milwaukeeeee~! Please say hello to your C E O.” And she is feeling some type of way after defending her NJPW Strong Women’s Championship. And you know who else is feeling some type away after a strong victory? Hikaru Shida. Mone tells Shida, “Answer me this: How can you call yourself The Ace when you are not The Face of TBS?”
The fans chant, “HOLY SHIDA!” Mone is annoyed, she is Two Belts Mone, the Face of TBS, and the face of this whole damn company! And come Saturday at All Out, Shida will learn just like the rest of this division, that there is a price to pay when you mess with Mone. Mone drops the mic, laughs it up, but then Shida’s on the tron! She gets Mone’s attention, and says in their last match, Mone was one Katana away from looking at the NEW TBS Champion. Until that watchdog got involved! Mone knows, just like Milwaukee knows, that Mone can NOT beat The Ace! Shida reveals her new merch shirt!
Shida has good news for Mone. Christopher Daniels steps in, and he tells Kamille that she is a hell of a competitor. But when she’s ringside for Mone, she’s more like a nuisance. So when Shida challenges for the title at All Out, Kamille is BANNED from ringside! Shida smiles while Mone freaks out! Shida tells Mone here is Japanese she understands: Sayonara… B*TCH!! Mone is losing her cool over losing her muscle! Will she also lose her AEW TBS Championship this Saturday? Or will she just have to go All Out all alone?
The Elite speak.
Nicholas Jackson invites the cameraman in, because Jack Perry has something to say. Jack says three years ago, in Chicago, All Out 2021, Jack was in the ring when Bryan Danielson first set foot in AEW. Jack felt the ground shake, the electricity in the air, and promised himself that one day, it’d be his turn to stand in the ring with The American Dragon. But fast-forward to just earlier this year. Jack was sitting at home, hadn’t been in AEW for some time, and he heard the news that Bryan was bringing his career to an end. Jack realized that given how things were playing out, he’d probably never get his chance.
But he didn’t give up. Jack changed the person that he was, went to NJPW and started over. Jack sold his own shirts, and did EVERYTHING he had to in order to get back here, and he did it by himself! The truth is, someone like Bryan could’ve helped Jack out, but he didn’t. Because the only thing Bryan cares about his his stupid little fairytale ending. Well this Saturday, three years later, it won’t be a happy ending. Matthew tells Bryan that The EVPs have a quick message for him and his BCC friends. The Bucks will do anything, and they mean anything, to make sure the AEW World Championship comes back to where it belongs.
And where is that? With The Elite. Now cut the camera and get outta here. The cameraman does as told, but what happens when The Scapegoat goes All Out against THE GOAT?
Bryan Danielson is here!
Seems we won’t have to wait long for a response! Milwaukee cheers as Bryan brings his world title with him to commentary, because he wants to watch the main event with his own eyes. Will #PacpoolCombatClub stand tall after going All In? Or will Ospreay, Orange & O’Reilly be STUPENDOUS in this Six Man Tag main event?
Six Man Tag: Pac, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta VS Will Ospreay, Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly!
Dynamite returns as The Conglomeration make their way out first, followed by the Aerial Assassin. Then the Swiss Superman & Decoder make their entrance, followed by The Bastard. Bryan says he can’t wait for Saturday to see Pac and Ospreay have it out. But in response to The Elite’s warnings, they have only motivated Bryan to become the best AEW World Champion ever. Back to the ring, the trios sort out, and Yuta starts against Kyle. The bell rings, the fans rally and the two knuckle lock. Kyle waistlocks, Yuta switches, Kyle switches, but Yuta drop toeholds. Yuta waistlocks, Kyle floats around, and then waistlocks.
Yuta stands, reaches back, snapmares, but Kyle is right up. Bryan says Kyle is a great technical wrestler, but also one of the best strikers in AEW right now. Kyle and Yuta tie up, Kyle wrenches and wristlocks. Yuta rolls, handsprings, and slips around to hammerlock. Kyle switches the hammerlock, but Yuta switches back. They go around and around with the hammerlock, and then Kyle back drops Yuta! ARMBAR! Yuta blocks but Kyle switches sides to ARMBAR the other arm! The fans fire up, Yuta fights to a stack, TWO! Kyle blocks a kick, KICKS the other leg, then brings Yuta over. Tag to Cassidy, and he takes off his sunglasses.
Kyle whips Yuta, kitchen sink knees him down, then Cassidy adds the basement dropkick! Kyle KNEE DROPS, Cassidy runs up, but stops to lock eyes with his former protege.

The fans fire up as Cassidy winds up, but Yuta wrenches to an ANGLE SLAM! Tag to Pac, and the fans fire up. Pac TOSSES Cassidy, and dares Ospreay to get in! The fans fire up, as does Bryan, and Ospreay tags in! These two stare down and the fans are losing it already!
Ospreay and Pac tie up, Pac trips Ospreay. Things speed up, but Pac handsprings over the dropdown! Pac comes back, Ospreay dodges and he handsprings over the dropdown! Then Ospreay trips Pac, keeps moving, but Pac hurdles. Ospreay hurdles, Pac leaps over! Ospreay handsprings but Pac gets under! Pac runs up, Ospreay sweeps to cover, ONE! Ospreay avoids the sweep to SHOTGUN! Ospreay kips up, Pac scrambles away, and the teams step in! The fans are thunderous but the ref has this calm down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The teams do back off, and Ospreay waits on Pac. Pac stands, but then he tags Yuta. Yuta runs up but Ospreay kicks him! Ospreay wrenches, tags Kyle, and Kyle kicks Yuta. Kyle wrenches Yuta’s arm to an ELBOW BREAKAER, then he hammerlocks to wrangle Yuta to the mat. Kyle KNEES, ELBOWS, and repeat! Kyle runs to SLIDING KNEE! Yuta writhes, Kyle fishhooks him into a chinlock. Kyle brings Yuta up to wrench, then he tags in Cassidy. Cassidy climbs up, to then climb down and AX HANDLE! Cassidy wrenches, wristlocks, and WRINGS Yuta! Yuta BOOTS Cassidy away, tag to Claudio! Cassidy throws hands but Claudio CHOPS!
Claudio CHOPS Cassidy in a corner, sits him down, and SLAPS him! Claudio whips corner to corner, Cassidy goes up and out, and he dribbles Claudio off the buckle! Cassidy lets off to then go up, and CROSSBODY, but into Claudio’s arms! Gut wrench and BACKBREAKER! Claudio looms over Cassidy, stalks him to ropes, then tags Pac. Claudio & Pac mug Cassidy, then Pac SMACKS Cassidy off buckles! Pac drags Cassidy up, wrenches, and he tags in Yuta. They mug Cassidy now, and Yuta suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Cassidy stays in this but Yuta stays on him with a bearhug while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Cassidy fights up and reaches out, but Yuta GERMAN SUPLEXES! Bridging cover, TWO! Bryan says that was a beautiful suplex. Cassidy fights up, fires elbows, and the fans rally. Yuta GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Another bridging cover, TWO! Cassidy fights up again as Ospreay and Kyle coach him. The fans rally again, Cassidy fires elbows, then switches to GERMAN SUPLEX Yuta! The fans fire up, both men crawl, Claudio tags in first! Claudio BLASTS Ospreay and Kyle off the corner! Claudio then suplexes Cassidy to run him into a corner! Cassidy is up top, and Claudio UPPERCUTS! Tag to Pac and Pac goes up!
Pac brings Cassidy to the very top! Cassidy fights with body shots, shoves Pac, but Pac backflips through! Cassidy leaps, but no Deep Impact! Pac NORTHERN LIGHTS Cassidy away! Pac drags Cassidy into the BRUTALIZER!! Cassidy endures, but Ospreay stomps away! The ref stops Ospreay, Pac lets Cassidy go, and then Claudio & Yuta jump in to jump Ospreay! The fans are torn but Claudio brings Ospreay out to send him into railing! The ref reprimands everyone, but Pac taunts Ospreay. Cassidy crawls, Pac stalks him, but then Cassidy slips away! But no one is there to tag! Claudio tags, and he runs in to UPPERCUT!
Yuta runs up to LARIAT! Claudio snapmares Cassidy, Yuta goes up, ROCKET LAUNCHER SPLASH! Cover, Kyle breaks it! The fans fire up, but then Claudio TOSSES Kyle! Claudio UPPERCUTS Kyle against barriers, then leaves him behind. Claudio goes back to Cassidy, drags him to the corner, then stomps away in the corner. Yuta adds hands, then digs his knee in. The ref counts, Yuta lets off, and he pushes the ref aside to tag Claudio. Pac also steps in, Claudio CHOPS Cassidy, then the group coordinates. Pac & Yuta double whip Claudio in, but Cassidy DUMPS Claudio out! Yuta runs in but Claudio sends him into buckles!
Cassidy slides under Pac but Pac grabs the legs! Cassidy BOOTS Pac, hot tag to Ospreay! Pac bails out but Yuta runs up! Ospreay fires off on Yuta, then whips for a BIG backdrop! Claudio runs up, ROCKS and whips Ospreay, POP-UP RANA from Ospreay!! Yuta is back, Ospreay dodges to handspring, NEURALIZER KICK! Pac storms up and the fans fire up as these two are face to face! Pac takes a swing, Ospreay dodges, and Kyle is there to BOOT Pac! Pac staggers to a corner, Ospreay sends Kyle in to forearm SMASH! Ospreay runs up to ELBOW Pac, and Dynamite goes picture in picture again!
Ospreay brings Pac around to scoop and SLAM! Tag to Cassidy, then Kyle sets up for Ospreay to step up and STANDING MOONSAULT! Cassidy then steps up on Kyle to LAZY ELBOW DROP! Cover, Claudio & Yuta break it! Ospreay drags Yuta up but Yuta TOSSES Ospreay out! Cassidy TOSSES Kyle, and the BCC go after them on the outside! FLAPJACK for Kyle off railing!

Dynamite returns to single picture as Milwaukee declares, “This is Awesome!” Claudio uses HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS on Cassidy! Claudio brings Cassidy up, but Cassidy ducks the short arm lariat! Cassidy comes back to tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU RANA! Claudio tumbles out, Cassidy DIVES! Down goes Claudio, but Yuta DIVES onto Cassidy! Kyle FLYING KNEES Yuta! Pac FOSBURY FLOPS Kyle!

Down goes Pac and the fans are thunderous! Cassidy is on a corner and aims at Claudio! DEEP IMPACT! Cassidy kips up, and off comes the elbow pad! Ospreay and Pac are back up!?

Winners: Pac, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Bryan leaves commentary to go celebrate with his team! The AEW World Trios Champions are victorious, though Pac and Ospreay are still brawling somewhere in the arena… WAIT! THE ELITE ATTACKS! The fans boo as The Bucks, Jack Perry and even Okada mug The BCC 4v3! They scrape Claudio out, kick Yuta out, and they beat down Bryan! Jack grabs a steel chair and brings it in! The Bucks sit Bryan up, but Claudio TACKLES Jack! Yuta returns, too! But this is still a 4v3 fight! Bryan gets the better of The Bucks, they go running! The BCC stand their ground, and Bryan says it is time to kick Jack’s effin’ head in!!
The fans are thunderous, but The Bucks save Jack! The Elite is in retreat, all their gold in hand. But then Claudio gets a mic to tell The Elite, “Let me tell you this face to face. You kids just made the biggest mistake of your life.” The fans add on, “YOU EFFED UP!” Matt says this is a family show, stop that! But Claudio says that lately, he has been in the mood for collecting gold. The IWGP Trophy in Mexico, the AEW World Trios Championships, and now… Those AEW World Tag Team Championships! And it’s not like Claudio has anything to do for All Out right now. Neither does Yuta. So then, BCC VS The Bucks, for THE AEW World Tag Team titles!
The fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” and The Bucks say fine! Will the BCC soon be dripping with gold? Bryan then gets the mic to tell Jack there have been a lot of people, including himself, who have been so frustrated and who are so sick and tired of Jack’s crap. Bryan guarantees us one thing: This Saturday at All Out, Jack Perry gets his EFFIN’ HEAD KICKED IN!! The American Dragon and his friends are all fired up, are they going to burn down The Elite once and for all?
Wait, cameras catch up with Pac and Ospreay backstage! Pac CLAWS Ospreay’s eyes! Refs tell them to stop, but Pac BOOTS Ospreay into a road case! Pac then drags Ospreay onto the case, drags him up, and suplexes for a BRAINBUSTER!! Ospreay writhes, clutches his neck and shoulder, and Daniels storms in! Pac says he warned Ospreay not to underestimate him! You do it at your own peril! See you Saturday! The Bastard leaves, did he just ensure victory in Chicago?
MORE BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
After what we just saw, Tony Khan has decided to raise the bar once again! It will be an All Star 8 Man Tag of The Elite VS Pac & The Blackpool Combat Club! Will The Bucks, The Scapegoat & The Rainmaker assert their dominance even before All Out? Or will The Bastard, The American Dragon, The Swiss Superman & The Decoder prove they’re the real elite wrestlers around here?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone says we have arrived at the contract signing “for what may be one of the most violent matches we’ve ever witnessed in All Elite Wrestling.” Saturday, All Out, it will be a Steel Cage Match between former AEW World Champions, Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland! So welcome in first, alongside Prince Nana, Swerve Strickland! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Nana does the dance and fans cheer as The Realest makes his way to the ring. Schiavone already thanks Swerve for agreeing to No Physicality, and now welcomes in Hangman Page. The Blackhat Cowboy’s music hits, but where is he…?
Swerve looks around in case it’s a sneak attack, but no, we still don’t get Hangman. Schiavone cues it up again, “Hangman Adam Page!” The music restarts, but still no Cowboy? What’s going on here? Swerve is annoyed, the fans boo, could this just be Hangman troll- Oh no. Hangman is on the tron as he knocks on the door. The door to whose house? Swerve’s House! Hangman tells Swerve, “Did you really think I’d give you the satisfaction of a formality? Of me putting my signature on a contract for something that we both already know is going to happen?” Hangman says Swerve is a hard man to find.
Hangman looked all over Florida, all over Washington, his fiancée left him and his kids aren’t in the picture anymore. You’d think Swerve has nothing in this life other than the ring that he sits in tonight. But he messed up. He showed the world, and he showed Hangman something that’s important to him: his childhood home. Hangman can see it now: Mama Strickland running across these dirty floors, fixing Swerve’s supper; Papa Strickland telling Swerve to shut up so he can hear the TV. And knowing the kind of man Swerve turned out to be, surely his father didn’t love him much, did he? Papa probably regrets having Swerve at all.
Hangman wonders what a wonderful world this would have been had Swerve never been born. Oh no, is he splashing gasoline everywhere?! Swerve is losing his cool but there’s nothing he can do! Hangman says this is Swerve’s House. And people might wonder why Hangman came here and not to Milwaukee to be in the ring tonight. But Swerve should remember. Swerve told Hangman last week, like when he sat outside Hangman’s front door and watched him carry his pregnant wife to the hospital, Hangman had to make a decision. A choice between hate and success. A choice between vengeance and peace.
Hangman says for him, that isn’t much of a choice at all. For Hangman, all those are one in the same. Hangman told Swerve for months and months and months that there was nothing that Hangman wanted more out of this life… than to burn Swerve’s world to the ground. Swerve is both frothing at the moth, and breaking down with tears, as Hangman finishes pouring out the gasoline. Hangman says if he couldn’t be the one to take the world title from Swerve, he was more than happy to help it slip through Swerve’s fingers. And this Saturday, locked inside of a steel cage, Hangman will take what is left of Swerve.
Hangman will take Swerve’s pride, his dignity, because Swerve will be on his knees begging for Hangman’s mercy, pleading for forgiveness, but Hangman will not give them to Swerve. But the night is long, time to say goodbye. Not for him, but for Swerve. So if Swerve hasn’t already said it, say goodbye to the AEW World Championship, and to any ideas of ever holding it again. On Saturday, Swerve says goodbye to his health, his career, his joy, and his happiness. And tonight, he gets some practice. Hangman lights a very big match, and says tonight, live in front of the world, Swerve gets to say goodbye to Swerve’s house.
The match hits the gasoline, and it all goes up in flames! Swerve can only shout, “NO! NOOO!” The fans lose their minds as the entire building burns, and Hangman simply sips his whiskey. Nana asks why, but Swerve seethes as sadly, he knows why. But then, will Swerve, or rather can Swerve get his revenge?
My Thoughts:
This was an awesome go-home Dynamite right here. It also feels it went a bit faster than other Dynamites, not sure why. But great opening promo segment with Garcia and MJF, though there were some awkward silences. It seems like a few of those were because of fans getting rowdy and MJF having to wait them out. But with MJF standing tall after smashing that bottle on Garcia’s head, Garcia surely has to beat MJF at All Out. Garcia will use that to avenge himself from before, and surely MJF being a sore loser, he will go after Garcia later to push things to WrestleDream in October.
Great squash win for Hayter to keep her return momentum going, and with Saraya & Harley watching, we’ll slow burn to that match of Hayter VS Saraya because outside of title matches, that’s how stories still go for the AEW Women’s Division. To be fair, this is the only other story, so I suppose that’s just how it’ll have to be. Speaking of, very good promo from Mone, but great stuff from Shida and Daniels revealing the ringside ban on Kamille. Mone VS Shida as a truly 1v1 match will be awesome stuff, and could probably go either way. Mone is still a great Heel, but Shida making history at All Out would be great stuff.
Very good promo from Deonna, and Deonna VS Shida will make for a great match for Shida to build momentum. Great title match from Mariah and Nyla, but I figured Mariah would retain. They didn’t say anything more about this title, so maybe Mariah just gets to take the weekend off so they can build a new contender. Very good promo segment from Roddy Strong with Hook to set up their title match, but I do like that Roddy is keeping us guessing. I feel like he would just say if it was for All Out, so maybe they actually keep that card a bit slimmer. Roddy VS Hook would still be a great match even if it’s on TV, though you can bet The Kingdom gets involved.
Very good stuff with Moxley, Marina Shafir and this still mysterious new team forming. Marina has been solid on ROH, but her getting to be even more menacing on AEW TV is great stuff. And Moxley calling out Darby Allin but in a supposedly friendly manner is good stuff. Moxley surely wants to recruit Darby to this new team, but I have a feeling Darby will refuse, which means Moxley VS Darby will happen and in very violent fashion. I’m sure Moxley’s team will add other talent that hasn’t gotten to do much. Honestly, let’s get The Butcher a spot on that team,
Great promo from The Conglomeration and Ospreay to hype up tonight as well as the rest of the week. I also really liked Cassidy joining in the Jericho Vortex’s promo to put extra stakes on Cassidy VS Keith. The Continental Contenders Challenge is a fun set of matches, and honestly, with this money stipulation, Cassidy VS Keith could go either way because it’ll help Conglomeration pivot into a story with Jericho Vortex. Mark Briscoe VS Lance Archer is going to be great, too. And while I love me some Mark Briscoe, Murderhawk Monster has to get something, so he might as well get into the Fatal 4 Way.
Okada VS Fletcher was an awesome match tonight, but I figured Okada would retain. And Konosuke going out there to confront Okada, Konosuke is definitely getting past Beast Mortos. And if anyone other than Okada is winning, it should be Konosuke. Konosuke’s been doing great in AEW, he did great in the G1 Climax, let a midcard title be his reward. Very good promo from Jack & The Bucks, and it’s fine that they spell it out for us because of course The EVPs will try and help Jack. Awesome Six Man Tag main event, great win for Pac’s team, and then what a brutal brainbuster for Ospreay backstage. That math shows Ospreay retaining at All Out, as I figured.
As for Elite brawling with BCC, good stuff, and they do add one more match for All Out with the World Tag Team Championships. That big 8 Man Tag on Friday will be a big indicator, though I feel like something wild will have to happen to muddy the math. I still don’t see Bryan losing to Jack Perry, but then I don’t see Bucks losing to Claudio & Yuta. And then, just wild stuff out of Swerve and Hangman here tonight. Now, they did not in any way set Swerve’s childhood home on fire. There are subtle differences in how the two houses look to tell you they set some other building on fire, but still, the idea that Hangman would go so far as to burn someone’s house down is huge. And this math has to favor Swerve winning at All Out, no way Hangman gets away with arson.
My Score: 9/10

The fans boo but then Ricochet hurries to HOOK KICK! And VERTI- NO, Ospreay slips free to underhook! STORM BREAKER! Cover, but the ref is down!
The fans count, Ospreay would’ve won twice over! Ospreay calls to the ref, the ref sputters around, and Ospreay goes up. But then Ricochet kicks the ref into ropes! Ospreay gets tripped up and the fans boo more! Ospreay is confused as to what happened, but SPIRIT GUN hits the mark!! Cover, RICOCHET WINS!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)
The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes. Kris drags Ford up, reels her in, and suplexes, and she holds Ford up! The fans cheer and Kris goes all the way to TEN, but Ford slips into a SLEEPER! Kris pries the hold open and she brings Ford around for another suplex! The fans fire up as Kris holds Ford up for five before the SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Kris drags Ford up, whips her to the corner, but Ford goes up, only for Kris to Electric Chair Lift! Kris climbs, Ford fights with fists, and she shoves Kris down! Ford steadies herself, then hits a FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford is frustrated but she storms up on Kris. Ford bumps Kris off buckles but the fans rally behind Kris. Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.
Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!
Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Ford is beside herself, but she drags Kris to a drop zone. Ford goes up top, and MOONSAULTS BUT FLOPS as Kris moves! Kris hurries to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up as Kris scoops to tuck Ford in! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Shelton Benjamin VS Daniel Garcia!
This showdown was inevitable, but it’s even more fitting after The Standard of Excellence beat up the TNT Champion just because he stood up to the Hurt Syndicate. Will Shelton continue to bring the pain? Or will he not survive Red Death?

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him!

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges!

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!
Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees.

If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
