PLAY BY PLAY

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 slips free, ripcords, but Kyle breaks free! The fans cheer the standoff, and Kyle says it was that close. Milwaukee chants for “Both These Guys!” as they reset. They knuckle lock, Okada kicks low! Okada CLUBS and ROCKS Kyle, then whips. Kyle holds ropes to avoid the boot, Okada runs up but Kyle puts him on the apron! Fans chant “F Don Callis!” even though he’s just on commentary, and Kyle CALF KICKS Okada down! The fans fire up again as Kyle builds speed!

Kyle DIVES and down goes Okada! Kyle roars, Milwaukee fires up with him, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Kyle paces, drags Okada up, and he whips Okada hard into railing! Okada staggers back, Kyle refreshes the ring count, then whips Okada into more railing! The fans cheer, Okada sputters, and Kyle drags him back around. Kyle puts Okada in the ring, drags him up, and CLUBS him! And CHOPS him! Kyle runs, but Okada FLAPJACKS in return! Kyle flounders, checks his face, and goes to ropes. Okada storms over, drags Kyle up, and bumps him off buckles! 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!

Okada finally lets off, storms around, gets the fans even more fired up, and then goes back for Kyle. Okada drags Kyle up, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! 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. Okada ROCKS Kyle, ROCKS him again, then stalks Kyle to a corner. Kyle snarls and ROCKS Okada! And ROCKS him again! And again! But Okada knees low! Okada whips, Kyle reverses, but then dodges to blow through the lariat, and LARIAT back!

The fans fire up with Kyle and he goes to Okada in a corner. Kyle rains down fists and fans count along, but Okada stops him at 5! Okada runs up, into a scoop and SWINGING SIDE SLAM! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up as Okada stays in this, and Kyle grits his teeth. Kyle drags Okada up, reels him in, but Okada fights the lift! Kyle CLUBS Okada again and again, then tries the lift. Okada still fights, so Kyle fires Kawada Kicks! But Okada Alabama Lifts! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up again while Okada grins. Okada drags Kyle up, scoops him, and SLAMS him! 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. Kyle throws his elbow pad away, then ROCKS Okada! Okada comes back to ROCK Kyle! Okada eggs Kyle on, so Kyle comes back to ROCK Okada! Okada grits his teeth, stands up, and he ROCKS Kyle! Kyle staggers to ropes, Okada eggs him on again, so Kyle winds up to ROCK Okada! Kyle eggs Okada now, and the forearms go back and forth faster and faster! Okada wobbles a moment, steadies himself, and ROCKS Kyle again! Kyle still hits back! Okada wobbles again!

Kyle swings, but Okada ducks to wrench, MONEY CLIP! Kyle endures the squeeze but he’s turning red! Dynamite returns to single picture as Okada sits Kyle down! The fans rally, Kyle finds a second wind and he stands up! Kyle reaches out, pries the hold open, and he arm-drags free! Then SUPERKICKS! Okada wobbles, Kyle SUPERKICKS again! Okada falls, Kyle growls and the fans fire up! Kyle runs up to BOOT Okada! Kyle puts Okada up top, but Okada resists the suplex! Kyle ROCKS Okada again and again, and we hear the five minute warning!

The fans fire up as Okada then goes out, and he runs up to BOOT Kyle over railing! Okada drags Kyle back up, drags him along the railing, but Kyle slips free! Kyle suplexes to BARRIER BRAINBUSTER!! Kyle hurries to set up a chair, and he runs to the far side! He comes back, and uses the chair to FLYING CANNONBALL!! Milwaukee is thunderous but Callis wants Kyle to focus on winning! Kyle drags Okada up, DUMPS him back to ringside, and fans cheer “A E DUB!” for this match. Kyle gets Okada int he ring, scoops him, and SLAMS him! Kyle then goes up a corner, to MACHO ELBOW in return! But Kyle just fires up again!

Callis says no more pandering! Kyle copies the Rainmaker Pose! Okada flounders, Kyle aims and runs in, CALF KICK! Then a scoop for the- NO, Okada slips free, backslides, roll through, short arm LARIAT! The fans are thunderous but Okada isn’t done here! Okada drags Kyle up, and short arm LARIATS again! Okada roars, brings Kyle back up, ripcord and- NO, Kyle dodges! But Okada DROPKICKS! Okada brings Kyle up, ripcords, but Kyle BOOTS! Okada blocks a superkick to UPPERCUT! Then he spins Kyle, but Kyle slips around! HALF ‘N’ HALF! And then a gut wrench, for the JUMPING TOMBSTONE!! Cover, TWO!!

Okada survives and the fans are thunderous again! Kyle drags Okada to another drop zone, then he goes up. But Okada crawls away, so Kyle has to hop back down. Kyle storms up, drags Okada from ropes to stomp him and punch away! Final minute! Scoop SLAM, and Kyle hurries up! But Okada grabs at the ref! The fans boo, Kyle has to give up on his plans again! Okada grabs Kyle, ripcords him into the ref, and as the ref ducks, Okada LOW BLOWS Kyle!! Then ripcord for the RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!

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!

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

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???

Dynamite begins with Platinum Max already in the ring, mic in hand and he thanks Austin, even though they’re booing as hard as they can. Caster introduces himself as the Best Wrestler Alive! The fans chant “You Suck! You Suck!” Caster says if you don’t believe him, look at this trademark certificate, signed and notarized by “your precious American government.” The fans boo but Caster says he’s giving anyone, anywhere, a chance to go eye-to-eye with the Best Wrestler Alive. And since he ran his partners, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, outta this company, now you can all see the true mastermind behind The Acclaimed was always Max!

“So without further ado, let’s see who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster hands the mic to Justin Roberts, and here comes HANGMAN PAGE! Caster is freaking out but he should’ve known better when he got on The Cowboy’s nerves last week. Caster bails out of the ring the moment Hangman steps in, and Caster wants to run away through the crowd? Hangman asks where Caster went, and the fans point him out! Caster says stop it, but here comes Hangman! Hangman storms through crowd, catches up to Caster, and then chases him into the ring! Caster attacks, the bell rings, and the fans boo.

Caster fires hands, then throws off his shirt. Caster whips, Hangman reverses, but Caster BOOTS back! Caster goes up, leaps, and FLYING RANAS! The fans boo but Caster says that’s why he’s the best! But he gloats too much, and he doesn’t see Hangman get up. Caster turns around, Hangman LARIATS him down! The fans fire up as Caster goes to the corner, and Hangman runs in, LARIAT! Hangman whips corner to corner, LARIATS, then snapmares for a SLIDING LARIAT! The fans fire up as Hangman now loads up on the apron! Caster stands up, into a BUCKSHOT! Cover, Hangman wins!

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall

Platinum Max is 0-2 at his own challenge, but we can only hope that ego has been deflated. As for Hangman, will there be even more #CowboyS*it on this road to Revolution?

 

AEW hears from Ricochet and Swerve Strickland.

The One & Only says, “Much like the Philadelphia Eagles, I now stand before you a winner. Swerve Strickland, he had all the threats, he had all the insults, he had all the menacing looks, and he had all the vigor. But again, none of that matters when you can’t win. Ricochet is moving on to bigger and better things.” But the Realest tells Ricochet that this is far from over. “I’m a big believer in eye for an eye, and I’m coming for you.” But Prince Nana speaks up, saying this is the same thing he’s been telling Swerve about! Why does Swerve have to make things personal? Focus on what matters: Jon Moxley & the AEW World Championship!

Swerve says he can’t! He’s tried! And Nana knows of all people that he tried. But look at what happened the last time he let someone walk way: Hangman burned down Swerve’s house and Swerve lost everything! Ricochet says it is a cold, cold world, but ya boi is staying really, really warm. AHA~! Ricochet has the Embassy’s robe, but he also has Swerve aiming for the kill shot. When and where will these two go one more round?

 

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS The Undisputed Kingdom!

The “reign of terror” doesn’t just pertain to Moxley’s grip on the AEW World Championship, it applies to how Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac have barely even defended these titles since winning them. However, it was just last week that they attacked Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong & Adam Cole BAYBAY in an attempt to keep them down. Cole said the Death Riders were messing with the wrong team, will that fact be undisputed? Or will the Death Riders continue to hold four belts hostage?

The introductions are made, but the Kingdom goes after the Death Riders on the outside! The bell rings to get this on record, but the brawl is already on! Austin fires up as Cole is after the Swiss Superman, Roddy is after The Decoder, and Kyle has The Bastard! Claudio sends Cole into barriers! Kyle fires knees on Pac, Roddy whips Yuta, and Yuta hits railing! Kyle kicks Pac against railing, Roddy CHOPS away on Yuta, Kyle KICKS Pac, then Roddy gives Pac a CHOP as he and Yuta pass by. Cole fires shots on Claudio then bumps him off barriers! Kyle runs to DORPKICK Kyle against barriers! Pac slumps down while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Roddy fires shots on Yuta, Cole stomps Claudio, then Kyle runs to KNEE Yuta down! Kyle then runs to DROPKICK Claudio! The fans are fired up with The Kingdom, and they get Yuta in the ring. Kyle stomps Yuta, puts him in a corner, then tags Roddy. They CHOP and KICK Yuta on repeat! The ref counts, Roddy brings Yuta around and hits a BACKBREAKER! Tag to Cole and Cole drags Yuta up. Cole turns Yuta for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this but Cole stays on him with a buckle bump. Tag to Kyle, they DOUBLE SUPLEX Yuta, then Kyle covers, TWO! Kyle rains down palm strikes as Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally for “UNDISPUTED! UNDISPUTED!” while Kyle wrenches Yuta. But Yuta pulls hair, puts Kyle in the corner, and the Death Riders mug Kyle! The ref counts, Pac tags in, and Pac BOOTS Kyle! Pac bumps Kyle off buckles, then runs him corner to corner to bump him off more buckles! Pac then brings Kyle back to the Death Rider corner for one more buckle bump! Tag to Claudio and the Death Riders stomp away on Kyle! The fans boo, the ref counts, but Pac lets off. Claudio looms over Kyle, brings him up, and CHOPS! The fans rally but Kyle fires a forearm! Claudio UPPERCUTS, Kyle fires another forearm, but Claudio gets a SLEEPER!

The fans rally for Kyle but Claudio sits him down already! Kyle pries at the hold, bends Claudio’s fingers, but Claudio just powers up to keep the hold. Kyle stands, turns around, but Claudio facelocks. Kyle powers his way forward a step at a time, but Claudio power shim back! Yuta storms in to CLUB Kyle! The ref reprimands Yuta, but then he has to keep Cole & Roddy back, and all this allows Claudio & Pac to mug Kyle more! Yuta joins in, the fans boo more, but the Death Riders get away with everything before the ref sees! Yuta tags in, Pac gets a cheap shot in before Yuta JUMP STOMPS again and again!

But Kyle grapevines the leg! The fans fire up but Claudio stomps Kyle down! The ref reprimands but Yuta tags Pac. Pac stalks Kyle, stays between him and The Kingdom, and then Pac stands Kyle up to pie face. Kyle fires a forearm, so Pac fires back! They go back and forth, Kyle fires a strike fest, but Pac jumps the leg sweep! Pac SOBATS, KICKS, and SOBATS! Pac runs, but into a kitchen sink knee! Hot tag to Roddy! The Savior of the Backbreaker CALF KICKS Pac, then CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Roddy catches Claudio to a leg capture BACKBREAKAER! Roddy BLATS Yuta, CHOPS Pac, then hits a BACKBREAKER!

Yuta runs in, but into a HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER! Then an X-PLEX onto Pac! Cover, TWO!! Pac survives but Roddy hurries to tag Cole. Tag to Kyle now, and then Roddy fireman’s carries Pac. GUT BUSTER DROP, then Cole adds a BACKSTABBER! Kyle hits a RUNNING KNEE! Cover, Claudio breaks it! The fans boo but Cole runs up! Claudio UPPERCUTS Cole, but Roddy KNEES Claudio out of the ring! Kyle hurries to tag Roddy, and they get Pac up. But Yuta sneaks up as Kyle climbs! Roddy gives Pac the BACKBREAKER, but Yuta SHOVES Kyle off the top! Kyle tumbles to apron then the floor!

The ref argues with Yuta, but Claudio hits a BIG back suplex on Roddy! Cole protests but Claudio tags back in. Claudio stomps away on Roddy, then he soaks up the heat from Austin. Tag to Yuta, he and Claudio mug Roddy, then they hit a HART ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Roddy is tougher than that, but Yuta clamps on him with a facelock. Yuta grinds Roddy down, but Roddy endures and fights up. Roddy wrenches up, but Yuta kicks low! Yuta hits a snap suplex, then covers, TWO! Tag to Pac, and Pac takes the handoff to a headlock. Pac grinds Roddy down but Roddy keeps his shoulders up. The fans rally up and Roddy stands, but Pac facelocks, snap suplex!

Pac watches Roddy goes to a corner, then runs up to UPPERCUT! Snapmare and covers, TWO! Roddy stays in this but Pac tries to intimidate the ref. Pac keeps Roddy from the Kingdom, then tags in Claudio. They mug Roddy, then Claudio snapmares for a chinlock. Claudio grinds Roddy down, the fans rally up, and Roddy fights to his feet. Roddy carries Claudio as a backpack, but Claudio brings him around! Claudio whips Roddy to the corner, tag to Pac! Claudio pokes Roddy in the eyes before he runs to BLAST Kyle off the apron! Pac tags Yuta, and the Death Riders regroup. Claudio whips Yuta in to ELBOW Roddy!

Claudio whips Pac in to ELBOW Roddy, then Claudio adds an UPPERCUT! Yuta ELBOWS, Pac UPPERCUTS, Claudio UPPERCUTS, and the cycle repeats, even as Dynamite goes picture in picture!

Roddy gets hit with another sequence of ELBOW, UPPERCUT and UPPERCUT, then Claudio feeds Roddy to Yuta’s LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Yuta scowls, as does Pac, but Cole is back to coach Roddy. Yuta stands on Roddy’s chest to dig in his heel, but Roddy pushes him away. Roddy goes to ropes, but Yuta drags him up. Yuta CHOPS Roddy, has him in a corner, but Roddy CHOPS back! Yuta CHOPS again, Roddy CHOPS again, but Yuta powers Roddy to ropes! Claudio is there to hold Roddy, and Yuta ROCKS Roddy! Yuta tags Claudio, Claudio stands between Roddy and his corner, then stands Roddy up. Claudio shoves Roddy to a corner, but Roddy BOOTS back!

Roddy fires forearms and CHOPS, then reaches for his corner. Claudio reels Roddy in first, but Roddy fights the suplex! Roddy suplexes Claudio! The fans rally up as Claudio and Roddy crawl, and they push past each other, hot tag to Yuta! Yuta BLASTS Cole before Roddy can get there! Yuta then stands Roddy up, only for Roddy to CHOP Yuta down! Roddy goes for his corner, but Yuta trips him! Yuta drags Roddy back, tags Pac, and Pac drops a knee on Roddy’s back! Pac tells Austin to shut it, then he stalks Roddy to ropes. Pac digs his boots in, the ref counts, but Pac lets off. Pac JUMP STOMPS Roddy down, then brings him up.

Pac puts Roddy on ropes to CHOP him, then CHOKE him! The ref counts again, Pac lets off, but Claudio gets a cheap shot UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO, and Pac argues the count. The ref defends the pace, so Pac drags Roddy back to the corner. Tag to Yuta, Yuta stomps Roddy, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Yuta suplexes, but Roddy cradle counters! TWO!! Yuta escapes, and he DROPKICKS Roddy down! Cover, TWO! Yuta keeps Roddy from his corner, but Roddy CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS again! The fans “WOO~” but Yuta knees low! Yuta whips, Roddy LARIATS first! The fans fire up while both men are down!

The fans are going nuts as Cole & Roddy TOSS Pac & Claudio! Kyle has Yuta in an ANKLE LOCK!! Cole sends Pac at railing, Roddy runs to WRECK- NO, Claudio blocks the dropkick, and he SWINGS Roddy into railing! Yuta endures, reaches out, but Claudio has a chair! The ref stops Claudio, but then Cole SUPERKICKS Claudio! Claudio stays up, Kyle lets Yuta go so he and Cole can DOUBLE SUPERKICK Claudio out! Pac runs in, Cole TOSSES him back out! But Yuta LOW BLOWS!! The ref missed it while dealing with the chair!! Yuta rolls Kyle up, DEATH RIDERS WIN!

Winners: The Death Riders, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)

Yuta takes advantage of the chaos and keeps the reign of terror going! But now the Death Riders beat up on Kyle & Cole for good measure! But wait! Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 make their way out here! They run the Death Riders off into the night! The fans cheer on Daddy Magic, Cool Hand Ange & Red Death as they help the Kingdom stand back up. But while the Death Riders get away with the trios titles, will Garcia have to go on the defense of his TNT Championship?

 

Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir walk the halls.

The Problem gets the cameraman to back off, but as she turns the corner, ADAM COPELAND SMACKS MOX WITH A CHAIR! The Rated R Superstar then blocks an attack from Marina, and shoves her into a closet! Cope holds the door closed while he tug-o-wars with Marina over the briefcase! Cope shouts for Switchblade, and Jay White rushes in with bolt cutters! White says hold still, we don’t want anyone losing fingers over this. White CUTS the chain, and now Marina is locked in the closet! Cope & White get away with the belt and Moxley is fuming! Will getting that briefcase back be the new stakes for the Brisbane Brawl?

 

Backstage interview with MJF.

Renee Paquette is with the Wolf of Wrestling and brings up his match with the living legend, Dustin Rhodes. This is Dustin’s home state of Texas, what kind of home court advantage does that give The Natural? MJF says this might be Dustin’s home, “but Texas isn’t a real state, and Dustin isn’t a real man.” MJF knows AA meetings tell you to pray to a higher power in times of need. Then if MJF were Dustin, he’d be on his hands and knees and pray to the devil, aka MJF. Ain’t no amount of paint on that mangled face will be able to hide Dustin’s shame! But then Hangman steps in, and he tells MJF, “Out.”

MJF asks, “Pardon?” Hangman says get out, this is his interview now. Oh, okay. Hangman, MJF doesn’t know what is going on, but does Hangman have a crush on him or something? Four weeks in a row! To be honest, Hangman smells great. MJF had no idea Jack Daniels had a cologne. Hangman says it’s been five years, is that the best MJF has? MJF says okay, okay. Not high class enough for Hanger. How about this? Whatever this is, it isn’t Hangman. Hangman doesn’t have the stomach for it, and deep down, he knows it. MJF watches week in and week out as Hangman questions every decision he makes, like a lost puppy.

Hangman has lost his friends and his sanity, all for what? A little apology? Hangman’s a joke. And the punchline is the fact that these SHMUCKS actually believe in him! But if anyone deserves an apology, it is MJF. For the lack of respect from the fans, from Hangman, and from Dustin. But tonight, MJF beats it into all of you. He’ll beat Dustin, he’ll get one step closer to accomplishing what Hangman has failed to do, after multiple failures, and that is become a TWO-TIME AEW World Champion. So see you later, Seabiscuit. MJF heads out, and Renee starts to ask a question, but Hangman quietly stops her. Will the Cowboy soon dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

 

Six Man Tag: Samoa Joe, Hook & Katsuyori Shibata VS Aaron Solo, Jon Cruz & Rosario Grillo!

While their target is The Patriarchy, the Samoan Submission Specialist, The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil & The Wrestler are looking to keep that edge sharp. Will they be more than tuned up after taking on The Extra Talented, totally not Serpentico, and #ForzaGrillo?

The trios sort out and the fans sing, “Joe’s Gonna Kill~ You!” In fact, Joe leads the charge as his team attacks! The bell rings, the fans fire up, and Joe JABS away on Cruz while Hook as Solo and Shibata has Grillo! They all fire hands in corners, then Joe drags Cruz up to TOSS him out! Joe & Shibata let Hook handle this as he fires off on Solo. Solo kicks, Hook ducks, and Hook catches Solo for the HIGH CAPTURE PLEX! Solo tumbles out of the ring but Hook storms out after him! Shibata puts Grillo in, and Grillo wants mercy, but only gets a CHOP! Joe sends Cruz into steps! Shibata CHOPS Grillo again!

Shibata CHOPS away on the ropes! MACHINE GUN CHOPS! The fans fire up, and Shibata CHOPS again! Joe returns to join in, they CHOP and CHOP on repeat! They double whip Grillo, then trip him rather easily, before the SENTON! Cruz runs in to fire forearms! Joe didn’t even realize Cruz was doing that until he turned around. Cruz says oh well. He winds up, but Joe CHOPS him! Joe puts Cruz up top, tucks him in, and MUSCLE BUSTER! Cover, Joe’s team wins!

Winners: Samoa Joe, Hook & Katsuyori Shibata, by pinfall

The fans cheer “JOE! JOE! JOE!” but Joe grabs a mic. Joe introduces himself, as well as his “brothers,” Hook and Shibata. And week after week, they come out here, and the world asks Joe, “What is this about?” Joe will tell us. “What stands before you is three men who go everywhere, always have a misunderstanding, and the only answer is violence!” The fans cheer that! They are three men who don’t understand, they always have a problem, and they always beat your ass to solve it. What stands here are the OPS, and they will hunt you down in the street, in this ring, and you will be caught lacking.

That leads Joe to Christian Cage & The Patriarchy. The fans boo those names, and Joe says this could’ve been real simple. Christian could’ve just not hid away, took his ass whooping like a man, and they could’ve gone about their business. But no, Christian continues to hide from the ops! So since Joe can’t drag Christian out of his dressing room, and Christian is too much of a chicken ass coward to come out here tonight… The fans echo “CHICKEN ASS!” and Joe adds a cluck cluck. Joe says next week, Dynamite, The Patriarch VS The Ops! Will Captain Charisma prove Joe wrong by having the guts to accept this challenge?

 

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho & Bryan Keith.

Renee is now with The Learning Tree, and she says Jericho promised to double the $100,000 bounty on Bandido, should The Bad Apple beat The Most Wanted. Keith did not win, is Jericho at least relieved he keeps his 200K? Jericho asks if she’s mocking him. Is that a smirk? Relieved to keep the 200K? He wouldn’t have put that money up if he wasn’t prepared to lose it. He would’ve paid even TRIPLE to get Bandido out of AEW. But Jericho assures Keith that it is okay he didn’t beat Bandido. They don’t yell at each other in The Learning Tree, they learn from each other. And so this is a teachable moment, because now Keith can watch and learn as Jericho collects the bounty!

Jericho tells Bandido that he wants to see him in the ring now! Jericho challenges him to a showdown! Jericho leaves, and Keith tells Renee to never embarrass him in front of Jericho again. The Bad Apple follows after his Learning Tree, but will The Nueve be able to bring down The Most Wanted?

 

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

Dynamite returns and Renee is now with The Babe with the Power. Renee notes that last time they talked, Kris Statlander was there, but Willow told everyone that she’s just focusing on herself. Coming up, Willow has a return to Japan, so what’s the plan? Before Willow can answer, Marina Shafir attacks?! She must be taking her anger out towards Cope & Switchblade out on the first woman wrestler she saw! Marina CHOKES Willow, then tells her, “Smile, b*tch!” Marina THROWS Willow into spare tubes or something! Moxley steps in, and he calls out Copeland! Cope fights fire with fire, but Moxley thinks that’s pathetic. Cope is a dead man walking!

Moxley storms off, but is this anger only proof that Cope’s plan is working? Will Revolution still get Rated R?

 

The Learning Tree heads to the ring!

As promised, The Nueve is making his way out because he wants a showdown with Bandido! The fans boo the ROH World Champion as he waves to them. Jericho puts his title belt aside, and here comes The Most Wanted! The two step to each other in the ring, and a spotlight is put on them! Austin likes where this is going. The bell tolls, and both men go back to back. Bandido and Jericho then walk ten paces, of more like nine, and then they turn back around. The hats come off, and then they fire up! But Keith trips Bandido! The fans boo as the Learning Tree mugs Bandido! This was never going to be a fair fight!

But here come The Outrunners! Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd not only owe Bandido for previous saves, but they still owe Jericho & Keith payback! The fans fire up as the tables have turned, but Keith kicks Truth! Jericho ROCKS Turbo, but Turbo hits back! The brawl keeps going, but here comes BIG BILL!? The Redwood wants to claim the bounty! He storms up on Bandido in the ring, shows him that wanted poster, and then grabs Bandido by the neck! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Powerhouse Hobbs is here! Bill puts Bandido aside so he can brawl with Hobbs! The fans fire up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs ROCKS Bill, Bandido GAMANGIRIS!

Bill staggers, into a SPINEBUSTER! Hobbs stands tall and the fans fire up! Bandido and Hobbs fist bump and tell Bill that’s what he gets! But will things only escalate from here on out?

 

Cope & White speak.

The Switchblade says, “Oh, Jonny~! Jonny Boy! Are you missing something?” The Rated R Superstar holds up that briefcase. Is their luggage feeling a little light? Well, don’t worry about the precious cargo, just worry about getting to Australia. Because White & Cope have a canvas that they must paint with the blood of the “One True King.” Cope says he’s carried briefcases like this before. But that aside, Moxley is running around, throwing tantrums and drooling all over the place, all because he knows he doesn’t have the weapon that keeps everyone under his thumb. Are the sycophants gonna listen to him still?

Well, tell ya what. If Moxley wants this briefcase back, he just has to meet Cope & White in the ring at the end of the show. See you there, kid. White & Cope hold all the cards, will Moxley have no choice but to play their game?

 

Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes.

Dynamite returns and Renee is with The Natural, and brings up last week’s words he had for MJF. Any last words before facing off with the Scumbag? Dustin asks, “Austin, Texas, are you ready?!” The fans sure sound it! Dustin tells MJF that he promised to bring him to the devil, and the devil is here! And MJF will find out why Dustin is the Last of His Kind! B*TCH!! Dustin heads out, because it is time for the shootout! And it’ll be commercial free! Will Dustin show MJF that even ass-kickings are bigger in Texas? Or will Dustin just end up a stepping stone on MJF’s road back to the AEW World Championship?

Dustin Rhodes VS MJF!

The fans are fired up for Dustin already just for his entrance! Dustin and MJF are forehead to forehead, then they back up. The bell rings, the two step back up, and Dustin draws a line in the sand. MJF runs up, but into a SNAP POWRESLAM! Dustin throws down fists, but MJF scrambles to a corner. MJF wants a timeout but Dustin gives him more stomps! MJF bails out, wants to just leave, but Dustin storms out after him! Dustin CLAWS MJF’s back, then ROCKS him with a right! Dustin brings MJF back tot he ring, bumps him off the apron, and MJF staggers. Dustin puts MJF in, but MJF scrambles to the far side.

Dustin storms over and drags MJF up by his hair! MJF HOTSHOTS the arm! MJF then hurries to push Dustin down, and he drops knee after knee on the arm. MJF SLAMS the arm off the mat, the fans boo, but MJF just soaks it all up with a cocky grin. MJF goes back to Dustin, grabs the bad arm, and he wrangles Dustin down for a cording hold! Dustin endures, the fans rally, but MJF tells them to shut up. Dustin fights to his feet, and he fires haymakers! The fans cheer but MJF YANKS the arm! MJF whips, Dustin ducks ‘n’ dodges to sunset flip! MJF stays up as he  flails, then he steps around to YANK the bad arm! Cover, ONE!!

MJF is annoyed already but he looms over Dustin. MJF clamps onto Dustin’s arm again, wrenches it, then hammerlocks. The fans chant “MAXWELL SUCKS!” but MJF hits a HAMMERLOCK BACK SUPLEX! The fans boo and even flip MJF off, but he acts like he doesn’t know why. MJF goes back to Dustin, sits him up, and KNEES Dustin in the back! MJF mocks the fans by clapping along, then he runs, runs, and runs, to then just T-BAG Dustin! The fans boo but MJF grins as he soaks it all up. MJF does kissy faces to the camera, and he tells Dustin, “You’re a joke, old man!” Dustin UPPERCUST! And UPPERCUTS!

Dustin puts MJF in the corner, but MJF CLAWS the eyes! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but MJF claims he did nothing wrong. MJF then wraps Dustin’s and arm around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, MJF stops at 4, but then MJF climbs up. MJF rains down fists, the fans do count along, but MJF takes a deep breath, to then flip everyone off. But Dustin picks MJF up for a POWERBOMB! The fans fire up while MJF writhes and flounders around. Dustin pounds the mat, the fans rally up behind him, and Dustin rises. MJF also stands, he runs up, but Dustin dodges! Dustin kicks low, says, “Not Today!” UPPERCUTT! Atomic drop!

Dustin runs to BOOT MJF, and MJF goes to a corner. Dustin storms up to climb up, and the fans count along as he rains down fists! Dustin goes to nine, takes a deep breath, and says “SUCK IT!” before he hits TEN! The fans fire up and Dustin headlocks, for the BULLDOG! The fans fire up while MJF is down, and Dustin goes back for the Scumbag. Dustin drags MJF up, reels him in, but MJF slips around to go for the arm! Dustin whips him away, MJF ELBOWS back! MJF goes up, and he DOUBLE STOMPS the bad arm! The fans boo, but MJF FUJIWARA- NO, Dustin rolls it to a cover! TWO, and Dustin swings, but into MJF’s dragon sleeper!

MJF grins, the fans boo, but Dustin fights free! Dustin dragon sleepers, MJF flails, but Dustin still hits CROSS RHODES!! Cover, TWO?!? MJF survives and Dustin can’t believe it! The fans rally as hard as they can while both men are down. Dustin reaches up and the fans cheer him more. Dustin uses that energy to rise again! “Let’s Go, Dustin!” Dustin stands MJF up, but MJF cradles! TWO and Dustin has it, TWO! Both men stand again, and Dustin reels MJF in! Back suplex, but MJF lands out! MJF clutches his knee, Dustin goes for it, but it was a trick! MJF steps over to reel Dustin in, PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO!!!

The fans fire up as Dustin survives, and now MJF is shocked! MJF gets mad as the fans again rally for Dustin. MJF goes outside to grab a chair! The fans boo as MJF brings it to the ring, but the ref tells him don’t do this. MJF puts the arm around Dustin’s arm! MJF goes up the corner, the ref tells MJF not to do this, and then the ref takes the chair away! The fans cheer, and then Dustin trips MJF into the ropes! The fans like where this is going, and Dustin says this is for what happened in Houston! SHATTERED DREAMS!! Then FINAL RECKONING!! Cover, TWO?!?! MJF survives again and the fans boo!

Dustin is seething, but he storms up on MJF again. Dustin drags MJF up, reels him in again, but MJF wrenches and WRINGS the bad arm! MJF snarls now, and he hauls Dustin up. MJF suplexes, FINAL RECKONING?!? Cover, TWO?!?!? But into the FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! MJF pulls on the arm but the fans rally as hard as they can! Dustin reaches out, but MJF thrashes the bad arm around! Dustin digs his knuckles into the mat, crawls towards the ropes, and the fans are thunderous, until MJF drags him away! CROSSFACE!!! Dustin is fading! DUSTIN IS OUT! MJF WINS!!

Winner: MJF, by submission

MJF still holds on a little longer, then lets go when he’s satisfied! The fans boo, but there’s nothing that can be done. MJF beat Dustin, then threatens the ref. The ref gets out of there, and MJF grins as he looks to do more to The Son of Texas! MJF puts on the FUJIWARA ARMBAR again!! BUT HERE COMES HANGMAN! The fans fire up as The Cowboy storms out here! MJF lets Dustin go, and he stares down with Hangman. Fans chant for #CowboyS*it, but neither Hangman nor MJF makes a move. MJF backs down, but then he TACKLES Hangman! MJF throws hands, but Hangman fires hands in return!

Security rushes out there to separate the two, with Jerry Lynn representing the Board of Directors. But MJF gets loose to LEAP at Hangman! Security drags him back, but now Hangman breaks free! Hangman CLOBBERS MJF in the corner! Security hurries to separate these two once again, and MJF bails out of the ring. Hangman slips out the side and they brawl on the outside! MJF throat chops Hangman, but Hangman still pursues! They go into the crowd, up the bleachers, and the brawl just gets meaner! Security catches up, MJF hurries away, then he SMASHES Hangman with someone’s beer bottle!

MJF keeps retreating, but Hangman keeps pursuing! They go to the nosebleed section, and MJF RAMS Hangman into the railing! MJF tries to dump Hangman over! Security pulls both men apart once more, and they go down separate ends of the bleachers. Austin wants to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but Hangman is being brought out of the building! Hangman promises to get MJF, but MJF just says the Cowboy isn’t a hero, he’s a zero! MJF then takes a fan’s drink, just to SPLASH it on the fan! MJF grabs a mic and says the fans were chanting “Let Them Fight,” right? The thing is, MJF’s ready to go, but “your boy” is afraid of him!

The fans boo that, but MJF says Hangman ain’t coming back out here! Because he’s a loser like each and every single one of the fans! The fans again boo, but MJF just soaks it up. WEAIT! Hangman got loose of the security! HE TACKLES MJF!! The fans fire up as security has to again pull these two apart! Security keeps Hangman in the ring while they pull MJF away, but when and where will these two finally settle things?

 

AEW shows us what happened during commercial.

With MJF away from ringside, Hangman was slowly let go by security. Only for Hangman to DECK each and every one of the guards! Hangman would even give one poor guy a BUCKSHOT! Austin is all fired up, and so Tony Khan just sent word: next week on Dynamite, in Phoenix, Arizona, it will be a face-to-face of Hangman and MJF! But will they be able to keep it from going fist to fist and blow for blow?

 

Megan Bayne VS Maya World!

The Megasus made quite the impressive return to AEW in the inaugural Women’s Casino Gauntlet, and then continued to impress with a win on Collision. However, it seems she’s aiming for the big fish as she went after Thunder Rosa last Saturday! Will Megan make all of AEW, and even The World, bow down?

The bell rings and Maya steps up to Megan. But Megan’s 6’1″ frame is intimidating. Maya runs up, Megan grabs her and powers her to a corner!

And Megan gets Kris for the F5 to the floor!! Just like with Thunder Rosa on Saturday! Are the Superbad Girl and The Megasus becoming a super duo?

 

AEW checks in with Mercedes Mone…?

Wait, that’s PUPPET MONE! Harley Cameron’s CEO is having the time of her life, and surprise, Harley is rapping! “C E O? C E NO! You might’ve robbed the bank, but girl, I’m gonna steal the show. I wonder, down under, will I be the one that steals your thunder?” Harley shows off her high speed bars, but she says hold on, cut. What? What’s wrong? Harley speaks to Mone by telling her she is in fact one of the greatest women’s wrestlers alive. But Mone had to start somewhere. And not too long ago, there was a time where Harley had no idea how to wrestle. But there was also a time where Harley didn’t know how to sing, play guitar, do ventriloquism, or speak Mandarin Chinese.

Harley shows off her Chinese, and says she’s a quick learner. But for all the times Mone called Harley a “loser” and ignored her, Harley says thanks. Because that pushed her to work harder! That inspired her to be different! So again, thank you, Mercedes Mone, for elevating the Women’s Division! Thanks to Mone, Harley is going to win the TBS Championship in her home country of Australia! Harley won’t ride the Mone Train, she’ll drive it! #FeelTheWrath! Austin is on Harley’s side, but will she become the Face of TBS? Or will Mone hold onto her gold?

 

AEW World Tag Team Championships: Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS The Gunns!

The Hurt Syndicate called their shot against Private Party, and they won these titles. But likewise, Austin & Colten made their return from injury to call their shot against the Hurt Syndicate! Will The Gunns be up? Or will the All Mighty & The Standard of Excellence remind everyone: #WeHurtPeople?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who are the real AEW gold members!

The teams sort out and the fans cheer for “M V P!” Lashley starts against Colten while MVP wants to join commentary, but the ring staff wasn’t even ready. MVP says thanks for the invite, but he’ll just stay ringside. Colten and Lashley tie up, go around, and Lashley puts Colten right in a corner. The ref counts, Lashley lets off slowly, and Colten gets out of the corner. The two reset, Colten waistlocks, but Lashley elbows free. Lashley headlocks, but Colten powers up and out. Colten then hurdles over Lashley, literally no small feat, and the fans cheer. Lashley scowls, then runs up, but Colten dodges him.

Lashley BACKDROPS, but Colten lands out! Colten whips, Lashley blocks, and Lashley CLOBBERS Colten! Colten gets back while the fans cheer, and Austin tags in. Lashley and Austin circle while the fans duel, “We Hurt~ People!” “GUNNS UP!” “We Hurt~ People!” “GUNNS UP!” Lashley seems annoyed that there’s a split in the crowd, but Austin has fun with it. Lashley storms up, Austin headlocks, but Lashley SLAMS Austin down! Austin flounders to a corner, but he dodges Lashley to fire forearms! Austin whips, Lashley reverses, but Austin goes up, only to get caught! Lashley TOSSES Austin to the floor! Austin sputters and the fans go nuts!

Colten protests, but Shelton tags in so he can get Austin up. Shelton throws Austin into the apron, into the barriers, and Austin ends up in the front row! The fans fire up and MVP tells Colten to stay back. The ref has everyone calm down, but the fans cheer MVP. Shelton drags Austin up, puts him in the ring, then stands him up for a HIGH CROTCH PLEX! Austin writhes, Shelton covers, TWO! Austin survives and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Shelton drags Austin up, puts him in a corner, then whips corner to corner hard! Austin bounces off buckles, flops out of the ring, then sputters on the floor. Colten coaches Austin up, but Shelton paces. MVP stares Austin down, taunting him from afar. Austin rises up, only for Lashley to CLOBBER him! Lashley grins, Colten protests, but Lashley drags Austin up again. Lashley RAMS Austin into the railing, gets in his face, then DECKS him! The ref has to keep Colten back, and Lashley puts Austin in the ring. Lashley drags Austin up, tags Shelton back in, and Shelton stomps Austin in the corner. Shelton stomps a mudhole in, but the ref counts.

Shelton lets off to argue with the ref, but Lashley gets cheap shots in. The fans rally while Shelton drags Austin up. Shelton puts Austin in a corner to ROCK him with a haymaker! Austin ROCKS Shelton back! Shelton and Austin trade shot for shot, then Shelton gets the edge! Shelton winds up, but Austin counter punches! Austin fires a flurry, blocks a kick, but the DRAGON WHIP finds him! Cover, TWO! MVP is almost amused but Shelton puts Austin in the corner. Tag to Lashley and he runs corner to corner to RAM into Austin! Austin sputters, Lashley lets him stumble and fall, then Lashley drags Austin up.

Lashley suplexes Austin, holds him up, and waits for TEN to SLAM him down! Dynamite returns to single picture, Lashley covers, TWO! Austin survives but Lashley dares him to go to Colten. The fans rally and duel again, and Austin rises! Lashley keeps him from Colten, but Austin fires as forearm! Lashley CLUBS Austin down! Lashley taunts Colten, grins as he drags Austin up again, but Austin fires more shots! Austin breaks free, but Shelton tags in! Lashley runs up, Austin dodges and Colten DUMPS Lashley out! Shelton has Austin, puts him in the corner, but Austin jukes to NECKBREAKER!

The fans fire up as Austin crawls, but Lashley YANKS Colten down! Lashley RAMS Colten into railing, then Shelton bumps Austin off buckles! The fans continue to duel, “We Hurt~ People!” “GUNNS UP!” Shelton ROCKS Austin, and Lashley steps in. The Hurt Syndicate helps Austin to his feet, just to double whip him to the corner. Lashley runs in, Austin goes up and over! Lashley POSTS himself, then Austin ducks Shelton! Hot tag to Colten! Colten dodges Shelton to SPLASH Lashley! COlten fires haymakers on Shelton, then whips. Shelton reverses, but Colten LEAPING LARIATS! Then a DROPKICK for Lashley!

Colten fires up with the fans, then he SPLASHES Shelton in the Gunn corner! Colten keeps moving, jukes and NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Shelton survives the crossover but Colten stands him up. Colten kicks low, says ‘SUCK IT!” and then runs, but he avoids the sweep by Lashley! Shelton waistlocks, Colten switches, O’Conner Roll! TWO, and Shelton has the ANKLE LOCK! Austin storms in to SLINGBLADE Shelton! Lashley is in, but Austin dodges! Lashley comes back, but Colten helps Austin hit a BOOSTED BLOCKBUSTER! Shelton stands, Colten hits him with the RABBIT PUNCH! Austin hits a FAMOUSER!! Colten covers, TWO!!

Shelton survives, the fans fire up, and MVP is still rather amused that The Gunns are lasting this long. Tag to Austin, they wait on Shelton! Lashley CLOBBERS Colten first! Austin ROCKS Lashley, but Shelton SUPERKICKS Austin! The fans fire up with Shelton and he waits on Austin. Austin rises, GERMAN SUPLEX! “We Hurt~ People!” “GUNNS UP!” Shelton stalks Austin again, GERMAN SUPLEX! Colten is up, but Shelton GERMAN SUPLEXES him, now! Lashley adds a MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER!! Shelton STEP-UP KNEES Austin in the corner, then Lashley adds the ALL MIGHTY SPEAR!! Cover, Hurt Syndicate wins!

Winners: The Hurt Syndicate, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)

And with that, the first defense is in the books! The Gunns just didn’t have enough ammo, but wait! Lance Archer & Brian Cage walk out on stage! The Murder Machines applaud for Lashley & Shelton, will they not just hurt people when #EverybodyDies?

 

Mariah May speaks.

“You should’ve died in August. But you never did know how to write an ending, did you? You can write beginnings, you can write comebacks, but you never know when to stop. Beating you in Australia is not the worst thing I can do. I could let you beat me and then disappear. And then everyone will realize Mariah did it better. Every match, every move, every promo, Mariah did it better! Every entrance, every cosplay, every mind game, Mariah did it better! You are NOTHING without me! You don’t exist without me! Toni Storm isn’t real! She’s just the imagination of a sick, tired, pathetic woman and it stops now!”

The Glamour calms herself down, and says, “I guess I really do love you. Because this is going to be a mercy killing.” Grand Slam: Australia is the long awaited sequel from All In: London, but the question is, how will the story end?

 

Adam Copeland heads to the ring!

He and Jay White bring the AEW World Championship briefcase with them, just as they promised earlier tonight. Cope grabs a mic to tell Austin, “Hear me out. The AEW World Heavyweight Championship has been hidden inside this briefcase for I dunno how many months now. Too long, right?” The fans want him to open it! Wait, they wanna see it? The fans cheer, and Cope says he has an idea. He sets the briefcase down, then goes out to look under the ring. Cope brings out an old friend in “Spike.” Cope says he doesn’t know if they remember Spike, but she’s pretty hungry. And she might wanna dig her teeth into that briefcase.

Cope opens the case, brings out ol’ Spike, and Cope tells Moxley it’s rather simple. If Moxley doesn’t get out to the ring to accept Cope’s challenge for the world title at Revolution, Cope will just smash the briefcase open and TAKE the title! The fans like the sound of that! Cope tells Moxley to get out here to give us an answer. We wait, fans chant “OPEN IT! OPEN IT!” No Death Riders, so Cope says last chance. Moxley says Cope has no idea the mistake he’s making. Moxley says Cope thinks he doesn’t care. No, he doesn’t! At all! Moxley says Cope doesn’t know JACK about that title! These people don’t know jack about it!

Moxley says he has left pieces of his SOUL in the ring for that title, and what it represents! Moxley is that title’s protector, he is its shepherd, and he is going to do something he doesn’t wanna do because he is just that much of a nice guy. Moxley will show how much he cares! At Revolution, Moxley breaks Copeland’s NECK!! The fans boo, but Moxley says if Cope wants his shot at the title, if he wants his shot at the king, then he’s got it! The fans cheer that! Cope says that’s all he was looking for. But Cope’s also gonna show everyone here how much he cares about the title. Cope aims, Moxley calls for reinforcements, but Spike hits briefcase!

Cope SMASHES away at the case, but Yuta slides in! White gives Yuta a BLADERUNNER! Moxley stays back as Cope watches him, but Pac slithers in! Cope spots The Bastard, and Pac says hold on now. Marian scurries in and she snatches the briefcase! Moxley CLOBBERS Cope, he and Pac stomp away! The fans boo, Moxley & Pac whip Cope, but Cope SPEARS Pac! Cope ROCKS Moxley, throws more shots, but Claudio is in! Claudio UPPERCUTS Cope, brings him around, but Cope dodges, and White is back! BLADERUNNER! Moxley grabs Spike! Mox says the tables have turned, but White dares him to do it! COPE SPEARS MOXLEY!

The fans fire up as Cope, White & Spike get outta there! White grabs a mic to say Revolution is set, but before we get there, Grand Slam: Australia is coming! And White promises he and Cope put the Death Riders in the ground! The fans cheer that! Will Moxley & Claudio soon Breathe with The Switchblade? And will Cope lead the Revolution to free the AEW World Championship?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, especially as the go-home to Grand Slam: Australia, but also still building things for next week’s Dynamite. For one, I predicted it last week that Hangman was going to answer Caster’s open challenge. Hangman of course won that, and then he of course had another interaction with MJF. MJF VS Dustin was awesome, and as this was a prerecorded episode, they were able to go commercial free for more content. It made sense MJF would win this, and we got a great brawl between him and Hangman. Their face-to-face will be a great promo segment, but hopefully not too long of one. Then they can have a great match at Revolution, unofficially establishing the winner as the next world title contender.

Great Trios Championship match, but I figured the Death Riders would win that, especially with sneaky tactics. Garcia & 2Point0 might get the next trios title match, maybe for Revolution, but at the same time, what about Garcia’s TNT Championship? I could see him going 1v1 with Cole, and I could see Cole winning just so Cole actually has something going for him. Joe, Hook & Shibata of course got to squash their opponents, but I’m surprised it was Aaron Solo in the mix and not like Brick Savage or Adam Priest. Great promo from Joe, of course, and their trio finally has a name. I would think “The Ops” wins that trios match, setting up Joe VS Christian 1v1.

Great promo from Harley, I legitimately could not keep up with her rap, so thankfully she in kayfabe gave up on that so she could talk seriously to Mone. Harley is so good as a character, talented in so many different ways, but I still can’t say she’ll beat Mone. Harley does deserve something, though, and it’d be amazing if she won. Mariah had a great promo of her own to call out Toni Storm, and really, that match could go either way. Megan Bayne of course squashes her opponent, but what a great match from Kris VS Ford. Right after I brought up Ford showing ring rust, this match showed she got through that. And oddly, are we going to get Megan & Ford VS Rosa & Kris? That’ll be a great match, and I can’t wait to see how that goes.

Very good promo from Jericho and Keith ahead of the “showdown,” but of course Jericho & Keith were going to gang up on Bandido. The Outrunners, Big Bill and Will Hobbs getting in on this was also natural, and the Faces standing tall makes sense given where this is going. Hobbs and Bill will have a proper 1v1, probably for Revolution, and I still expect there to be Jericho VS Bandido for the ROH World Championship. Seriously, there’s been talk about ROH getting a cable deal, when is that happening? For that matter, we still need Bill ditching Jericho.

We got a great tag title match from Hurt Syndicate VS Gunns, and I really liked the rhythm of the dueling chant. Lashley & Shelton won out, of course, but then Archer & Cage basically saying they’ve got next is great stuff. That match is going to be some awesome stuff, but also another big win for Hurt Syndicate. And then some really fun stuff in the world title story. For one, Cope & White getting the jump on Moxley & Marina was great. And trying to bash the briefcase open was also pretty clever. Spike is back, so surely that weapon will play a part in the Brisbane Brawl. But of course we established Moxley VS Copeland for Revolution. A part of me still wants Christian to cash in just to spice things up, since there’s his history with Cope.

My Score: 8.9/10

Mitchell’s AEW Collision Results & Report! (2/8/25)

Collisions ARE bigger in Texas!

Published

on

Will Houston be Undisputed?

While The Son of Texas, Dustin Rhodes, is in action in Houston, the big attraction is a Trios Triple Threat: Undisputed Kingdom VS 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions; The Undisputed Kingdom wins.
  • Bandido VS Bryan Keith; Bandido wins.
  • Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander & Brick Savage; LFI wins.
  • Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James; Dustin wins.
  • Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford; Rosa wins.
  • Mariah May VS Shay Carmichael; Mariah wins.
  • Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe; Kyle wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Tonight, it’s Kyle Fletcher, Mark Briscoe. Kyle, I know your type! You can’t handle your own business! You run around with that pack of wolves, the Don Callis Family! Hey, bring the whole family, line ’em up, I’ll knock ’em down! Tonight, it’s your ass! RAH RAH RAAAH!”

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“Tonight, I am on a mission. A mission to right a wrong. Now Mark, I want you to see the entire Family is her tonight, because they will not be getting involved. I’ll do this on my own, because even on your best day, you do not come close to the Protostar’s level.” Brian Cage & Lance Archer seem confident, but newest Family member, Mark Davis, seems conflicted. Will the Aussie Arrow really shoot down the Sussex County Chicken this close to Grand Slam: Australia?

 

Someone chucks security!?

It’s Marina Shafir! And that’s because she’s leading the way for Jon Moxley! The fans boo as The Maniac throws a fit, but then Marina snatches a mic for him. Moxley says this show starts when he says it starts! And he is getting a little sick of the Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland wants a shot at the AEW World Champion? Mox bets he does. Cope thinks he can throw his weight around, but he can’t! He has no power here! Moxley has a list of 1000 reasons why he won’t give Cope a title shot. The fans boo, but Moxley says he has 1000 reasons, but we’ll stick to the simplest one: Moxley doesn’t like Cope.

Moxley doesn’t like anything about Cope! Cope doesn’t know a single thing about Moxley, or about AEW, or about being AEW World Champion. Cope can take his challenge and stick it up his ass! But if it’s a fight he wants, Moxley will do it any time, any place! Here at the Marriott, in Toronto, in Cincinnati, in Asheville, or even next week on Collision in Australia! Let’s do that! Bring Jay White and Mox will whoop his ass, too! Bring that half-broken neck, bring White, and Moxley will whip both their asses! They just better hope and pray that Moxley has the grace to let them walk out of Australia on their own two feet!

If Mox decides it’s time to break Cope’s neck, Cope ain’t coming back! Moxley then drops the mic and storms off, Marina following him out. Is that Moxley making a threat? Or is he just trying to avoid a title match he might lose?

 

Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong want to prove they’re the strongest trio in AEW, so they’ll be taking on some strong competition! They got the better of Red Death, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange, and they got the better of Shane Taylor and The Infantry, but can they beat both teams at once? Or will tonight be anything but undisputed?

The trios sort out, and in this kind of Triple Threat, only two teams are legal. Roddy and Shane start, they tie up, and Roddy slips around to a headlock. Shane blocks on size alone, and he THROWS Roddy away! Roddy comes back to CHOP! Roddy CHOPS again, bobs ‘n’ weaves, but Shane blocks a shot to JAB! Shane talks trash, whips Roddy to ropes, but Roddy ducks ‘n’ dodges. Roddy then stops to BOOT Shane, ENZIGIRI, and he tags Kyle. Roddy & Kyle CHOP and KICK on repeat! They double whip Shane, but Shane DOUBLE LARIATS back! The fans are torn but Shane taunts Cole with, “SHANE TAYLOR, B*TCH!

The fans boo but Shane puts Kyle in the STP corner. Tag to Carlie Bravo, he tags Shawn Dean, then Dean sends Carlie in to forearm SMASH! Then the repeat, forearm smash! Dean adds an ELBOW, then a LARIAT! Dean covers, ONE, but Dean keeps Kyle with a facelock. Dean whips, Kyle grabs ropes, Daddy Magic tags in! Kyle kicks Carlie back, then Kyle and Menard DOUBLE SHOULDER Carlie! They argue now, but Dean SHOVES Menard into Kyle! Kyle tumbles out, Dean ROCKS Menard, then whips. Menard reverses and ELBOWS Dean down! The fans fire up for Daddy Magic and he fires up with them!

Menard CHOPS Dean, pushes him to the open corner, then he tags Parker. Parker whips Menard so Menard can send Parker in, forearm SMASH! Drop toehold! BOOYAH ELBOW! The fans fire up and Parker brings Dean around for a whip. Parker ROCKS Dean, whips again, and ROCKS Dean once more! Dean whips, Cole tags off Parker, Parker sends Dean into a BOOT! Cole and Parker fist bump in respect, Menard jumps on commentary real quick to say this is some 2-for-1 action tonight! Collision is live from coast to coast like butter on toast! Cole fireman’s carries Dean, Dean fires forearms, and Dean RAMS Cole into the STP corner!

STP mugs Cole, the fans boo, but Menard says this is what he’s talking about. Dean tags Carlie, the Infantry brings Cole out to scoop, but Cole slips free! Cole shoves Dean into Carlie, Garcia tags in! The fans fire up as the TNT Champion rallies on the Infantry! Menard is all fired up as Garcia rains down fists on Dean! But Carlie makes the save, only for Garcia to add Carlie to it! Garcia rains down fists on The Infantry, and he goes to nine, winds up, and hits TEN! The fans fire up again, but here comes Shane! Garcia says bring it! Shane swings, Garcia ducks to fire back! Garcia then gets around but Shane fights the saido!

Shane CLUBS Garcia, Dean trips him, and then Dean SLAMS Garcia on the apron! Carlie goes to the apron for a GUILLOTINE KNEE DROP! Menard hops off commentary to reinforce his team, but Shane still hits a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! STP stands tall and talks trash while Collision goes picture in picture.

Shane drags Garcia up, whips him hard into railing, and Garcia flounders to the commentary desk. The Infantry drags Garcia up, but Menard & Parker rush in! They all brawl, the ref reprimands, but Carlie puts Garcia in. Carlie JABS Garcia again and again in the corner, then pops, locks and CHOPS! Garcia sputters, Shane tags in, and they put Garcia in the open corner. Shane stomps Garcia, stands him up, then CHOPS! Garcia is stinging again but Shane stands over him. The ref reprimands, Shane backs off just to talk trash on the other teams. Shane stands Garcia up, but Garcia fires forearm after forearm! Shane’s BODY SHOT takes Garcia right down!

Tag to Dean, he and Shane mug Garcia, then Dean stands Garcia up. Menard rallies the fans but Dean CHOKES Garcia on ropes! Dean lets off, and Carlie gets a cheap shot in! Dean covers, TWO! Dean tags Shane, Shane stomps Garcia, then Shane stalks Garcia to ropes. Carlie talks trash on Garcia while Shane stands him up. Garcia fires forearms and CHOPS! Garcia runs, but Shane CLOBBERS him! Shane shakes his head, talks trash on 2Point0, then he drags Garcia up. Shane mockingly holds out Garcia’s hand to The Undisputed Kingdom, then he scuffs Garcia. Shane slaps Garcia around, and Collision returns to single picture.

The fans rally for Garcia as Shane stands him up. Garcia fires forearms! The fans fire up, but Shane ROCKS Garcia! Shane scoops, but Garcia slips free! SAIDO!! The fans are thunderous while Shane and Garcia are both down! Garcia crawls, but The Infantry YANK Menard & Parker down! The fans boo, but Carlie tags in to drag Garcia up. Garcia JAWBREAKERS free! Dean tags in, he snatches Garcia into a SLEEPER! Garcia JAWBREAKERS again! Carlie tries, Garcia dodges, hot tag to Kyle! The Violent Artist BOOTS Carlie, then he tags Roddy! STRONG KNEE for Dean! Tag to Cole, SUPERKICK for Shane! Then they DOUBLE LARIAT Shane up and out!

The fans fire up as Cole rallies on Carlie! BOOT and Carlie falls again! Cole fireman’s carries Carlie for the USHIGOROSHI! The fans are fired up again, Strong KNEE for Dean! Kyle suplexes, CHASING THE DRAGON! Cole gives Carlie the GHOSTBUSTER! Cover, MENARD BREAKS IT! Roddy CLUBS Menard, Menard hits a CUTTER! Kyle hits AX & SMAHS on Menard, Parker has Kyle in a Gory Especial! GORY BOMB for Kyle! But Dean hits a TIGER BACKBREAKER on Parker! Garcia DROPKICKS Dean! Shane blocks Garcia’s kick to KNEE him down! Cole SUPERKICKS Shane down again!

The fans are thunderous with’ ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” But Carlie rolls him up! TWO!! DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! The fans are thunderous as all nine men are down around ringside! The trios regroup, “This is Awesome!” as they all rise up. Then it’s a brawl! The fans are thunderous as things spill out, but Parker blocks Cole’s kick! Menard joins in, they give Cole a DOUBLE DDT! Roddy runs up, 2Point0 gets him! But Kyle saves Roddy from the double DDT! They each knee low, then Roddy hoists Menard up! Kyle climbs, BACKBREAKER KNEE DROP COMBO! Garcia LARIATS Roddy!

Kyle fires off a strike fest on Garcia! Garcia avoids a sweep, clamps onto Kyle, but Kyle breaks free! Garcia CHOPS Kyle, then SAIDOS! The fans fire up again, but The Infantry runs up! They dodge Garcia’s double lariats, then fire off the Cap & Winter Soldier combo! Then TWO TO THE HEAD! But Parker BOOTS Dean, and baits Carlie into TOSSING him out hard! Shane is up to HEADBUTT Parker! Shane tucks Parker in, MARCUS GARVEY DRIVER!! But he gets a PENALTY KICK from Kyle! Then the Kingdom all aims at him! SUPERKICK, STRONG KNEE AND ROLLING ELBOW!! Shane falls and Roddy WRECKS him with a dropkick!

Kyle FLYING KNEES Shane on the outside, then they hit TOTAL ANNIHILATION to the floor! Carlie runs at Cole, Cole gets him with 52 Fake Out! Cole goes up, Carlie avoids the Panama Sunrise, only for a SUPERKICK to find him! Cole then brings down the kneepads, for THE BOOM!! Cover, Undisputed Kingdom wins!

Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall

It’s all about the Boom, and that makes this match undisputed! Garcia realizes he was too little, too late. Cole wants to show Garcia respect, but then THE DEATH RIDERS ATTACK! Namely, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli & Pac! The AEW World Trios Champions beat down everyone, but especially focus on The Kingdom! Cole, Kyle & Roddy want to be the best trio, but the titles belong to the Death Riders. Claudio has a mic to say, “I just came out here to personally congratulate you on your victory. But more importantly, to remind everyone who the real best trio is around here.”

Pac & Yuta sit Cole up and Claudio says sorry, Cole, he couldn’t hear that over the ass whopping they just gave his team. Cole says you picked the fight with the wrong trio! Oh, is that so? But then STRONG KNEE outta nowhere! The fans fire up as the tides have turned! Kyle has Yuta in an ANKLE LOCK, and Yuta TAPS! Cole sends Pac running, but Claudio drags Yuta to safety! The Death Riders regroup and retreat, but Cole grabs the mic. Cole says he is so damn sick and tired of the Death Riders thinking they can do whatever they want! Cole reminds us that he said in 2025, they’d prove themselves as THE BEST trio in AEW!

So next week, Cole looks to cash in on that promise! The fans like where this is going. Next week, Dynamite, FOR the Trios Championships, Undisputed Kingdom VS Death Riders! And Cole swears to God, he promises on everything he believes in, the Kingdom will whip some ass and become the champions! THAT is undisputed! TK calls in, that match is approved! Will Cole, Kyle & Roddy be the three that free these Trios Championships from the Death Riders?

 

FTR speaks.

Those three letters represent THE top guys in tag team wrestling. Whether AEW, ROH, NJPW, Mexico, and every major promotion across the world, these tow have been champions. For far too long, their greatness was forgotten, and they’ve taken a backseat to others. That ends now. The three letters, F T R, should represent the greatest team to ever do it. To make that a reality, they need to get the AEW World Tag Team Championships for a third time. Whoever are the champions, this message is for you. FTR is back. #TopGuysOut.

 

Backstage interview with Max Caster.

Alicia Atout is with Platinum Max and he makes sure to add, “Best Wrestler Alive.” Alicia brings up last Wednesday night, Caster provoking while his Open Challenge is ongoing. Caster says Hangman got angry at him when all he wanted to do was have his interview. The people wanna hear from the Best Wrestler Alive, and Hangman was taking forever. Caster simply asked Hangman to please hurry up, and Hangman got angry. That’s not how a man asks. Let’s not call him “Hangman,” this is “Hangperson.” And so if Hangperson wants to go a round with Caster, get in line, because his open challenge is going on. And thanks for mentioning that, Alicia.

So, who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? We’re gonna see this week on Dynamite! Caster will show everyone that you can’t be better than the best, and that is a mic drop! He even drops Alicia’s mic to prove it. But will Caster regret leaving the door open to an angry Cowboy?

 

Bandido VS Bryan Keith!

Speaking of angry cowboys, The Most Wanted finally returns to in-ring action, and he’s up against The Bad Apple! Will Bandido clear a path back to the ROH World Championship? Or will the Bounty Hunter collect on that $200,000 Chris Jericho has promised?

The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Bandido and Keith stare down, and then they fire forearms! The fans cheer this shootout, Bandido knees low, but Keith throws his poncho at him! Keith BOOTS Bandido down and the fans are torn. Bandido gets up, throws the poncho back, and he headlocks. Keith powers up to throw Bandido down! Keith runs, Bandido stays low, but Keith then whips him. Bandido dodges the boot, Keith dodges the handspring, but Bandido aims his finger gun. Keith swats it, Bandido dodges the lariat, to then slip around and arm-drag! Keith goes to a corner, but he dodges Bandido.

Keith runs back up, but Bandido pops Keith up! Bandido then throws Keith back, Keith rolls to his feet, but Bandido DROPKICKS him down! The fans fire up while Keith shakes out the stars. Bandido storms up, LA MAGISTROL, TWO! Keith escapes, but Bandido drags him up. Keith CHOPS, the fans rally, and Keith pie faces Bandido. Bandido CHOPS Keith, then eggs him on. Keith CHOPS, Bandido CHOPS back, and the fans “WOO~!” Keith kicks low, whips Bandido to a corner, but Bandido goes up and out! GAMANGIRI! Keith staggers, Bandido goes up, and CROSS- SOBAT!! Keith takes Bandido outta the sky!

The fans are torn but Keith has a wild look in his eyes while Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith soaks up cheers and jeers while Bandido bails out. Keith slides out the side, runs in around the way, and he BOOTS Bandido down! Bandido sputters while Keith seethes. Keith stalks Bandido, refreshes the ring count, then he drags Bandido up. Keith puts Bandido in the ring, stalks him some more, then stands Bandido up. Bandido fires body shots, then whips Keith. Keith reverses, then runs to BULLDOG! That’s a very Jericho looking move! Bandido flounders, Keith whips him again, SLIDING him out to the floor! Bandido writhes but Keith has another wild look in the eyes. Keith soaks up some more heat while Bandido crawls to the ring.

Bandido stands, rolls in at 7 of 10, but Keith is on him with a rain of fists! The ref counts, Keith whips Bandido to ropes, and he FLAPJACKS Bandido down! Keith pushes Bandido to a cover, TWO! Bandido is still in this while Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and the two clinch. Keith power sup to EXPLODER, but Bandido makes it a sunset flip! TWO, and Keith runs up, into a KNEE! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, then goes up, up, and TORNILLO! The fans fi reup as Bandido then pops Keith up to a military press! ONE ARM! Then the SLAM!! Cover, TWO! Keith survives and Bandido is surprised, but the fans fire up again! Bandido feeds off that energy and aims at the ropes! Bandido runs, but Keith LARIATS Bandido first! Keith goes to a corner, aims at Bandido, and he runs in, only for Bandido to BOOT! Bandido goes up, Keith RISING HEADBUTTS!

Keith roars, the fans are torn, and Keith climbs! Keith and Bandido fight, but Keith ROCKS Bandido! Keith clinches on the top rope, for a SUPER EXPLODER!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! The fans duel, and Keith rises! Keith storms up on Bandido to CHOP! CHOP! And CHOP! The fans “WOO~!” and Keith fires up, but Bandido CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Then SUPERKICK! Keith ENZIGIRIS! Both men stagger, the fans fire up more, and both men stand back to back. They both turn around to look at each other, and they nod! They take five paces and go to the corners! Then they run up, DOUBLE SHOTGUN DROPKICKS!!

The fans are thunderous again, it’s a standing ovation in Houston! Keith rises first, but he and Bandido go forehead to forehead. They stand, and Keith underhooks the arms! Bandido wrenches out, but Keith ROCKS him! Keith runs, but Bandido scoops him! Torture rack and FLIPPING KNEE! Keith staggers, he isn’t asleep yet! But Bandido aims his finger gun, and BANG! Keith rises, into the BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, BANDIDO WINS!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall

No prize money for the Bounty Hunter, this bandit is just that good! But will the Most Wanted get what he wants in a title match with The Nueve?

 

Backstage interview with “Powerhouse” Hobbs.

Lexy Nair is with Will Hobbs and says he asked for this time. What’d he like to say? Hobbs says hey to Big Bill, rubbing in that Keith didn’t collect his bounty. And guess what? Hobbs will be in Texas all week long. He’ll be looking for a fight, and maybe in Austin, Bill actually gives Hobbs a fight. Or maybe the Big Redwood is just a big baby. Hobbs has called out the rest of The Learning Tree’s Branches, will he cut them all down?

 

Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander & Brick Savage!

Rush y Dralistico made their return, and they want not just Beast Mortos but ALL of AEW to understand, that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will LFI look to stampede through the Trios Division now that they’re reunited?

The trios sort out, and the fans cheer on “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Instead, we get Dralistico and Ares Alexander. But then Dralistico tags out to Mortos, and Mortos CLOBBERS Ares! And SMACKS him! Mortos whips Ares to then POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico, springboard CODE BREAKER! Tag back to Mortos, they BLAST Jay and Brick! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags Rush! Rush storms around, the fans cheer him on, “If you mess with the bull, you get the horns!” BULL’S HORNS!! Ares is almost sent out of the ring! Mortos pushes him back in, Rush covers, LFI wins!!

Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall

The other guys didn’t even get to tag in! And now LFI mugs Ares! Jay is furious that they’re doing this to his brother, so he and Brick get in! Brick DOUBLE CHOPS Dralistico & Mortos, only to get a CHOP, HEADBUTT, and SPIN KICK! Jay runs up, Rush blocks his knee to HEADBUTT him down! LFI deals with Brick and the Alexander Brothers with ease, but they’re not down! They beat Jay down, but here comes Komander! Wait, what can one do against there? He still springboards to FLYING POISON-RANA Mortos!! Then he dodges Rush y Dralistico to jump off Dralistico and RANA Rush! Then Komander fires off on Dralistico!

The SOBAT knocks Dralistico down, then he builds speed. But Dralistico trips Komander, YANKS him out, and then sends him back in for Rush. Rush CLAWS at Komander’s mask! The fans boo, but then the lights go down! And when the lights come up, it’s HOLOGRAM! LFI took him down, but he has rebuilt himself, rebooted the system, and “upgrade complete!” Four months away but he looks better than ever! SUPERKICK for Dralistico! Then he jumps over Mortos to DROPKICK Rush out of the ring! Then he tilt-o-whirls and DEJA VU RANAS Mortos! Mortos gets back up, but runs into a CRASH COURSE from Hologram!

Hologram and Komander stand tall together, then build speed! They DOUBLE TOPE CONJILO!! The brawling continues, and Rush has a chair! Rush wants to smash someone but the refs stop him! Rush snarls, drops the chair, but then he DECKS a ref!! The fans are torn but Jake the Snake will have to handle that fine for Rush. But will Rush’s rampage continue until LFI are on top of AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Megan Bayne.

Well, Lexy tries to get Megasus to respond, but she just keeps walking. Thunder Rosa is there to welcome Megan to AEW. Megan ignores the high-five so Rosa says okay, she’s not about that. That’s fine. So much for Southern Hospitality. Rosa tells Lexy that Megan is superbad, too. Megan just got here, and she’s so mad! But whatever, we’re in Texas! And everyone knows about Texas hospitality! And tonight, Ford gets that “hospitality” because Rosa will make sure she has a memory that lasts. Let’s get ready to kick some butt! Rosa is all fired up, will she wrangle Penelope Ford like it’s a rodeo?

 

Harley Cameron is in the ring.

The wild Aussie has a couple guitars and a big puffy pink jacket as she welcomes Houston to the Harley Halftime Show! Ladies and gentlemen, she didn’t come alone. Oh, no no! Please say hello to PUPPET MERCEDES! Harley takes off her jacket and turns around to reveal her Muppet of Mercedes Mone is riding in her backpack! The fans cheer and Harley says Puppet Mone is a tiny lil’ baby. Now to kick things off, here’s a song you may know too well. It’s called the Money Train. Harley starts strumming the guitar, and she sings a long R&B note. The fans cheer, Harley sings she wants to RIIIDE~ the Money Train~!

The phone lights come out already as Harley repeats “The Money Train” again and again, but then the REAL Mercedes Mone interrupts! Mone is wearing the TBS and NJPW Strong titles while carrying the Rev-Pro and Queen of Southside belts. Mone has a mic to ask Harley, “Are you stupid? Or are you dumb? Nobody came out here to watch the Harley Halftime Show!” NO, they’re all to see #FourBeltsMone. So Houstooooooon~! Please say hello to your C  E O! The fans boo instead. Mone tells Harley that she doesn’t know how many times she has to tell her, but she is nothing but a l- LEGEND!! Harley cuts Mone off there and the fans cheer.

And with that said, Harley would like to begin her second song! “Hello, it’s good to see you, Miss Mercedes Mone. You’ve got four belts? Well I’ve got one dream! So, what do you say~? You come out here tonight, cut me off, and if I’m being blunt. I think the way you’re acting, well, are a cuuunning woman~!” And Harley will say it now, Mone is just afraid to feel the WRATH! THE WRATH! THE WRATH! The fans join in, “FEEL THE WRATH!” and Mone sarcastically plays along, until she grabs the guitar! The fans boo but Mone tells Harley to shut up. Harley is so talented, super talented, but let’s get real. If there’s anything real about Harley!

Mone doesn’t know why Harley wants a match with Mone when that little puppet on her back can wrestle better. So Harley needs to get out of her ring, because Harley is NOT on Mone’s level. Harley has the fans on her side as she tells Mone, “You’ore right. You’re right.” Harley is new to this. She can only ever dream to achieve in her career what Mone already has in AEW. But Harley has fought so hard to be here where she is today, and she’s NOT stopping! The fans cheer that! Harley would love nothing more than to face Mone in Australia, in her home city in her home country! And for the TBS Championship!

Mone is a game changer, yes, but Harley has to admit. In Mone’s whole career, the most entertaining that she’s ever been… is when Harley had her hand up Mone’s puppet ass!! The fans fire up for that! But Mone SLAPS Harley! The fans boo, but Harley gets pissed now! Harley shouts FEEL THE WRATH, then she DECKS Mone with the mic!! Mone bails out, grabs a new mic, and with the fans chanting Harley’s name, Mone says if Harley wants her shot at Grand Slam, then she’s on! But one more thing: Mone can’t wait to embarrass Harley in front of her friends, her family, and show the world why she IS the CEO!

Mone leaves, but Harley is just fired up to have the match she wants! Will she also take that title off Mone to finally be the Face of TBS?

 

Lexy Nair moderates the Continental Championship face-to-face.

She has Buddy Matthews with her, but Kazuchika Okada is clearly absent. Lexy says this was meant to be the face-to-face, so if Buddy wishes, they can proceed. Buddy says go ahead. Lexy asks Buddy what it’d mean if- Oh, NOW Okada shows up. The Rainmaker takes his seat, gets mic’d up, and asks for a water. Lexy thanks Okada for taking the time to join them. She wants to ask about the title match, but Buddy says he’ll handle this. Buddy scoots up and says they’ll cut to the chase: “In Brisbane, Australia, you and I will face each other. Australia’s best versus Japan’s best. But I haven’t fallen for this BS comedy facade that you’re playing.

“See, I know what the real Okada’s all about, and I know what he’s capable of doing. But I’m not sure he knows what I’m capable of doing.” The people stand by Buddy. Australia stands by Buddy! So it is time for Buddy to beat Okada for that title. Okada needs to look Buddy in the eyes and say if he thinks Buddy believes this or this is just some fake facade that Buddy’s playing. Buddy and Okada both stand up, and then Okada laughs. “B*TCH!” Buddy fakes a punch and Okada flinches! Buddy pats Okada on the shoulder, and tells him, “I’ll see you in Brisbane.” Buddy leaves, the staffer shows up with the water, but Okada throws it down.

Okada is furious that Buddy got the better of him, but will Okada get serious once the bell rings?

 

Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James!

The Natural is still fuming from everything MJF did and said just last Wednesday. Dustin looks to get his hands on that scumbag in Austin, but what will happen here in Houston? The bell rings, Dustin circles with Izzy and ties up. But then Izzy knees low, mocks the deep breath, then whips. Dustin slips around the lariat to then dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!! Dustin isn’t done, he hauls Izzy up to hit the FINAL RECKONING! Cover, Dustin wins!

Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall

And with that, Dustin grabs himself a mic! “Maxwell Jacob Friedman. You call yourself ‘The Devil.’ You’re not the devil. As I told you last week, I went to Hell, I looked at the Devil in his eyes, and I kicked his teeth in! And I ripped, teared, and crawled my way out! And the reason why is because I am a survivor! I AM the 56-year-old Last of My Kind! And Max, while you’re sitting at home in your recliner right now in Long Island, New York, I want you to know something. Every thing in your brain right now thinks that you’re gonna do to me, I’ve already done. Five DECADES. Blood, sweat, and tears, and passion, something you do not have!

“And guess what, Max? I am still here! Next week, in MY backyard of Austin, Texas, AEW Dynamite, I am going to drag you to hell, and you are gonna meet the actual devil! And I will give you a Texas sized ass whooping for the ages!” The fans like that! Dustin has a question for MJF: After MJF gets out of this business, will it remember him? Because it damn sure will remember Dustin! The fans are fired up, will MJF regret messing with this Son of Texas?

 

The Death Riders speak.

The Bastard says, “Finally, finally, finally! We have been the Trios Champions for what feels like an eternity, and there have been very, very few individuals who have had the guts, the bullocks, to stand up to the Death Riders. Well, gentlemen, we welcome your challenge. From true professionals, none the less. But understand this: We are the elite of the elite. And this week on Dynamite, we look forward to making an example out of you.” Claudio adds that the Kingdom has teeth, and he respects that. They have something worth the Death Riders’ time. Too bad the Death Riders will just have to pull those teeth out.

Claudio says they are the absolute BEST at this! Claudio leads the way out, and Yuta just adds a cocky grin. Will the Death Riders be unstoppable in their reign of terror?

 

Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford!

La Mera Mera is ready to rope ‘n’ ride, and she even has the Houston Texans’ Toro by her side! But will Rosa be running hot towards a title opportunity in the near future? Or will everything be superbad tonight?

Rosa says this one’s for Texas! But hold on, Megan Bayne is making her way out here? Rosa isn’t sure why The Megasus is stepping on her moment when all she wanted to do was welcome her to AEW. Megan goes right to the ring and Rosa says fine, bring it! Megan stares down Rosa, but then Ford CLOBBERS Rosa! Ford dribbles Rosa off the mat, CHOKES her, HAMMERS her, but Megan just lets her! The fans boo, and Ford leaves the scrapes for Megan. Megan takes her headdress off, picks Rosa up, and fireman’s carries! “BOW DOWN!” F5!! Megan stands tall over Rosa, will she soon stand atop the mountain in AEW?

 

AEW shares footage from last night’s DEFY Wrestling show.

Ricochet returned to DEFY as it held a show in Seattle, Washington, and he talked a lot of trash while wearing the robe he stole from Prince Nana & Swerve Strickland last Wednesday. But little did he know, SWERVE would show up! Swerve attacked, Ricochet ran away, but not for long as NANA put Ricochet back in the ring! Ricochet find another way to escape and kept the robe on his person! When and where will Swerve get his revenge on Ricochet?

 

Backstage interview with Bun B.

Lexy is with Houston’s living legend, the hit singer and entrepreneur, and welcomes him to the show. They have his burgers as part of catering, and it is fantastic. How does it feel to be back in AEW? Bun B says it’s always great to have AEW back in Texas. They’re all big fans here, they can’t wait for All In: Texas. But then Ricochet interrupts? He asks what this is. Oh, he knows now! This is Bun B, Trill Burgers, America’s best! And he’s a friend of Swerve’s, right? Well, if Bun B hasn’t been watching, but AEW is no longer Swerve’s House. It is now Ricochet’s! And Mr. B, but since you’re here, all these burgers now belong to Ricochet, too.

Ricochet says if they don’t mind, he wants to try one of America’s best. Ricochet says it looks aight. He takes a bite, and then SPITS IT OUT! This is what they’re serving? It’s trash! There are much better burgers out there. The server says everyone else likes them. Ricochet asks what that guy just said. W-Well, they like them… Oh, everyone else likes them? He DRAGS this guy onto the table and asks who he is to talk to Ricochet like that! Bun B tells Ricochet to stop that. Ricochet tells B to back off. B may be close to Swerve, but tell him and Nana, “Thanks for the jacket.” HAHA! Ricochet leaves, but is he only heaping fuel on the fire?

 

Mariah May VS Shay Carmichael!

The AEW Women’s World Champion is calling this her “Glamorous Exhibition Match,” because she clearly doesn’t think this will be that hard on her. Will Mariah be more than ready for Grand Slam: Australia and the threat Toni Storm poses?

Whoa, Mariah SHOTGUNS Shay the moment she’s in the ring! The fans boo but Mariah sits Shay up for a RUNNING KNEE! The fans boo more, but Mariah just smiles. Mariah stands Shay up, fireman’s carries, and she hits MAYDAY!! Cover, Mariah wins!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall

Toni Schiavone has a good point: Shay’s hair is a bit like Toni’s, could this be a case of Mariah taking her frustrations out on an innocent young wrestler? Wait, what’s in the fancy handbag? Mariah opens it up, and she brings out a black satin robe. Mariah dresses Shay up in it, so now she really looks like Timeless Toni! Mariah smears red lipstick all over Shay’s face, then SHOVES her down! The fans boo Mariah more, but wait! LUTHER THE BUTLER is here! The fans cheer as Luther goes right to the ring, a tray in hand. He pulls away the napkin, to present a SHOE~! Mariah is freaking out, but then she swings on Luther!

Luther gets away, but the warning is clear! Mariah huffs ‘n’ puffs and goes back for Shay, but SURPRISE~! It’s the REAL Toni Storm! Mariah has seen a ghost, and Toni HEADBUTTS her down! Mariah runs away but Toni pursues! Toni catches her at the barriers, SMACKS her off the steps, then drags her up! Toni reels Mariah in, but Mariah scrambles free! Mariah runs away into the night, but Luther carries Toni away on his shoulders. With just one week left before their All In: London rematch, will it truly be Toni Time once again?

 

Something’s going on backstage!

The Don Callis Family is rampaging against random AEW prospects, and even security! The Murder Machines are having fun, but Mark Davis doesn’t seem to even try. Cage tells Davis that he’s Don Callis Family now! Get your hands dirty! That’s a fact of life. Davis snarls, and he uses a monitor to SMASH one of the randos! Cage TOSSES another over road cases, and Davis drags Jon Cruz up to TOSS him into trash! Archer says it’s DCF VS Everybody, and EVERYBODY DIES! Kyle Fletcher said he won’t need these guys to help him against Mark Briscoe, but will that be true? Or will Mark prove the Continental Classic win wasn’t a fluke?

 

Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!

The Continental Classic’s round robin phase was almost perfect for The Protostar, if not for getting caught by #DemBoys. Kyle claims that was all a fluke and it’ll never happen again. But will the Aussie Arrow miss the Mark again? Or will he be able to #ManUp before Grand Slam: Australia?

The bell rings and Kyle BOOTS Mark right down! The fans boo but Kyle soaks it all up. Kyle goes to Mark, Mark fires a body shot but Kyle ROCKS Mark. Kyle stomps away in the corner, but lets off as the ref counts 4. The fans boo more while Kyle paces. Kyle storms up on Mark, CHOPS him, then reels him in for a scoop and SLAM! Mark writhes and crawls to the ropes while Kyle soaks up more heat. Kyle stalks Mark, drags him up, and wrenches to whip. Mark goes up, around, and ROCKS Kyle with a forearm! Mark CHOPS, fires more shots, then whips. Kyle reverses, but Mark grabs ropes! Mark ELBOWS Kyle, then TOSSES him!

The fans fire up and Mark builds speed, to DIVE! CANNONBALL TOPE and it’s a direct hit! Houston is all fired up with Mark, and then Mark grabs a chair. Mark tosses the chair in, then brings out a TABLE! Houston fires up even more, but the ref tells Mark this isn’t that kind of match! Mark doesn’t care, he still sets the table up. Kyle hobbles around, rolls into the ring, and the fans chant, “We Want Tables!” Mark finishes with the furniture to then run in at Kyle. Kyle ELBOWS back, goes up, but Mark UPPERCUTS! Kyle tumbles to the apron then staggers around on the floor. Mark builds speed to WRECK Kyle with a dropkick!

The fans fire up even more as Mark takes aim. BANG BANG, FOLEY ELBOW- NO, Kyle catches Mark! And he pops Mark around to LAWN DART him into the post! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle tells the ref to shut it, then he flexes while he soaks up more heat. The fans boo but Kyle refreshes the ring count. Kyle sits Mark up to show how he’s busted open. Kyle kisses the bloody wound, then he APRON POWERBOMBS Mark! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle soaks up more heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mark crawls while the blood drips to the floor. Kyle flexes while he soaks up even more heat, and he wants on Mark. Mark slowly rises, but Kyle comes back around the outside. Mark makes it to the apron, only for Kyle to hit a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Mark flops back down, and Kyle tells the ref to hold on. Kyle whips Mark hard into railing! Kyle then sees Mark’s table, and he gets an idea. Kyle brings Mark up, puts him in the ring, and then he positions the table a bit closer to the ring. Kyle brings Mark up through the ropes, then to the apron. But Mark throws body shots! Mark has the fans fire dup, but Kyle stops the suplex!

Kyle tries but Mark fights the suplex! They both fight for control, but Mark then slips into the ring. Mark UPPERCUTS Kyle, and Kyle holds onto the ropes! Mark UPPERCUTS again, Kyle flails more!

Mark flounders to a corner, sputters through the crimson mask, and Kyle mocks the fans. Kyle goes back to Mark, but Mark CHOPS!

Mark CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Kyle scoops to SLAM! Mark writhes while Kyle mockingly encourages the fans to get louder. Kyle stalks Mark, stands on his neck in the corner, but steps off as the ref counts. Collision returns to single picture, and the fans rally for Mark while Kyle taunts him. Mark stands, but Kyle kick shim! And BOOTS him! Kyle fires forearms, but Mark fires back! The fans fire up as the shots go back and forth, again and again! Mark gets the edge, he ROCKS Kyle, then roars! But Kyle BOOTS him again! Kyle runs, but Mark dodges! Kyle dodges, both men keep going, DOUBLE LARIATS turn both men inside-out!

Kyle hoists Mark up, TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER!!!! Cover, KYLE WINS!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Mark’s win in the C2 was not a fluke, but Kyle made sure this one wasn’t, either! It was bloody and brutal, but Kyle then grabs a mic to say, “I told you…! I told you…! I proved tonight that Mark Briscoe’s win over me was a fluke! And in one week, I do the same to Ospreay!” The fans boo but Kyle says not only Ospreay, but Kyle will prove that the Best Bout Machine & The Aerial Assassin are no longer the future, but that the future stands RIGHT HERE! And it is The Protostar, KYLE…! FLETCHER!! The Aussie Arrow is as dangerous and confident as ever, but will he and The Alpha really win the Grand Slam tag team dream match? Or will the be beat by the Best Bout Bruvs?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, especially as a partial go-home to Grand Slam next Saturday. The cold open promos from Kyle and Mark were really good, but I’m still not a fan of cold open promos because they have to be quick and yet I can’t keep up with them that quickly. I do appreciate we got Mark Davis being a reluctant member of the Don Callis Family to help add to what we saw on Dynamite. Davis is clearly only in this to get back at Ospreay for Ospreay not being a better friend and all that, so he didn’t want to beat up on randos just because. And then Kyle VS Mark was an awesome and wild main event. Great win for Kyle, but that’s because Ospreay & Omega are gonna win at Grand Slam now.

Very good promo segment from Okada and Buddy to hype their match, and maybe Buddy wins, but I guess it really depends on how the Aussie win-loss record is gonna split. Harley Cameron and Mercedes Mone had a very good segment, though I thought we were going to get more songs from Harley before Mone interrupted. Harley getting the title match she wants is a great moment, but I’m thinking this means she loses her match. Mariah of course beat up her opponent tonight, but that was a great little surprise with Luther and Toni. The go-home math builds towards Mariah winning, but if anyone were to defy that expectation, it’s Toni Storm.

Moxley and Marina showing up to basically start the show was pretty wild, but what kind of promo was that from Moxley? Did he forget that just three days ago, Jay White made it clear it was going to be White & Cope VS Moxley & Claudio in a tag match? The way he worded it made it seem like he forgot, or like he was trying to make it his idea, not theirs. But we got better stuff from Claudio, Pac & Yuta after that great Trios Triple Threat. I figured the Undisputed Kingdom would win, and we’ll get an awesome Trios Championship match. I could see the Kingdom winning so as to put the Death Riders on the defensive with only the world title left.

Good stuff from the Ricochet VS Swerve story. Tying DEFY Wrestling into this is great, as well as having Bun B get in on that backstage promo. Revolution is definitely the goal for the Ricochet VS Swerve rematch, and I would think they up it with No Disqualifications and the robe being the unofficial prize. Good promo from Caster to call out “Hangperson,” but I would think Hangman does answer the Open Challenge for Dynamite. Dustin of course got a win tonight, and he called out MJF ahead of their match. That’ll be some great stuff, but I bet MJF cheats to win. Then maybe Jeff Jarrett goes after MJF to set up a match for Revolution. That or they give us Hangman VS MJF as they’ve been teasing.

Rosa VS Ford was a good match, but there was certainly a legit moment of concern for Ford in the middle. It might just be, but I feel like Ford hasn’t gotten the ring rust off even this long after her return. But Megan Bayne starting on a story with Rosa is great for Megan. Megan’s already strong, tall, with great presentation, so taking the fight to a former AEW Women’s World Champion is going to help establish Megan in the division. Megan can even be on the other side of a title feud after Revolution, depending on who holds what titles. Good promo from FTR, and I suppose they were being generic about who they were challenging as it might take time for FTR to get back to the tag titles.

LFI pulled off one of the gnarliest squashes I’ve seen, but that was a great way to get Hologram’s return. Hologram & Komander VS LFI is good stuff, and I feel like Hologram VS Rush should be the blowoff. Great match from Bandido VS Keith, and a great win for Bandido. Hobbs had a good promo to follow up while calling out Bill. As I said before, Bandido VS Jericho for the ROH World Championship is definitely happening. And then Hobbs VS Bill will be some great stuff, I’d love if they did some kind of ring breaking spot, same as we’ve seen many times in WWE.

My Score: 8.8/10
