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 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.

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

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

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!

Claudio & Pac mug Cassidy, then Pac SMACKS Cassidy off buckles! Pac drags Cassidy up, wrenches, and he tags in Yuta. They mug Cassidy now, and Yuta suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Cassidy stays in this but Yuta stays on him with a bearhug while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Cassidy fights up and reaches out, but Yuta GERMAN SUPLEXES! Bridging cover, TWO! Bryan says that was a beautiful suplex. Cassidy fights up, fires elbows, and the fans rally. Yuta GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Another bridging cover, TWO! Cassidy fights up again as Ospreay and Kyle coach him. The fans rally again, Cassidy fires elbows, then switches to GERMAN SUPLEX Yuta! The fans fire up, both men crawl, Claudio tags in first! Claudio BLASTS Ospreay and Kyle off the corner! Claudio then suplexes Cassidy to run him into a corner! Cassidy is up top, and Claudio UPPERCUTS! Tag to Pac and Pac goes up!
Pac brings Cassidy to the very top! Cassidy fights with body shots, shoves Pac, but Pac backflips through! Cassidy leaps, but no Deep Impact! Pac NORTHERN LIGHTS Cassidy away! Pac drags Cassidy into the BRUTALIZER!! Cassidy endures, but Ospreay stomps away! The ref stops Ospreay, Pac lets Cassidy go, and then Claudio & Yuta jump in to jump Ospreay! The fans are torn but Claudio brings Ospreay out to send him into railing! The ref reprimands everyone, but Pac taunts Ospreay. Cassidy crawls, Pac stalks him, but then Cassidy slips away! But no one is there to tag! Claudio tags, and he runs in to UPPERCUT!
Yuta runs up to LARIAT! Claudio snapmares Cassidy, Yuta goes up, ROCKET LAUNCHER SPLASH! Cover, Kyle breaks it! The fans fire up, but then Claudio TOSSES Kyle! Claudio UPPERCUTS Kyle against barriers, then leaves him behind. Claudio goes back to Cassidy, drags him to the corner, then stomps away in the corner. Yuta adds hands, then digs his knee in. The ref counts, Yuta lets off, and he pushes the ref aside to tag Claudio. Pac also steps in, Claudio CHOPS Cassidy, then the group coordinates. Pac & Yuta double whip Claudio in, but Cassidy DUMPS Claudio out! Yuta runs in but Claudio sends him into buckles!
Cassidy slides under Pac but Pac grabs the legs! Cassidy BOOTS Pac, hot tag to Ospreay! Pac bails out but Yuta runs up! Ospreay fires off on Yuta, then whips for a BIG backdrop!

Ospreay runs up to ELBOW Pac, and Dynamite goes picture in picture again!

Cassidy comes back to tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU RANA! Claudio tumbles out, Cassidy DIVES! Down goes Claudio, but Yuta DIVES onto Cassidy! Kyle FLYING KNEES Yuta! Pac FOSBURY FLOPS Kyle!

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

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!

The fans fire up as Christian just THROWS Cassidy out onto FTR! Christian then goes up, up, and SUPER CROSSBODIES The Dogs!
Cope calls out a shot, runs, but into a SHATTER MACHINE!! FTR snatches Cope outta nowhere, Connors makes the cover, but Cassidy breaks it! The fans fire up as now FTR has Cassidy surrounded. But Cassidy “unleashes” his kicks! The fans go nuts with every shot, but FTR shoves Cassidy! SHATTER- DOUBLE SUPERKICKS on Cash! Cassidy fights free of Dax, but Dax blocks Nick’s Superkick!

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?
Backstage interview with Don Callis, Mark Davis and Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?
The teams sort out, Lena starts against Slay, and the clock is ticking! Slay DROPKICKS, but Lena doesn’t budge! Ley ENZIGIRIS, but Lena still doesn’t flinch!

Ley tumbles, the fans cheer, and Megan tags Lena back in. Lena storms up on Ley to GERMAN SUPLEX again!
The fans cheer as Lena tags Megan back in. We’ve hit 90 seconds, but it feels like forever for Ley as Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Megan kips up, then she stalks Ley. Megan eggs Ley on, slaps her around, then drags her up. Megan fireman’s carries, but Slay manages to tag in! Slay runs up, but Megan scoops her! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
The Triangle of Madness may have misted Persephone and injured Alex Windsor, but that only heaps on more trouble for the champion! Thekla must now defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in a FATAL 4 WAY! Thekla VS Jamie Hayter VS Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida, is The Toxic Spider about to get squashed? Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10
