Wheeler Yuta VS The Butcher!

The Decoder was given an ultimatum that didn’t need any deciphering: Pac, Claudio and Yuta will defend their AEW World Trios Championships as a unit, no matter who it is, and any feelings Yuta has about Bryan Danielson being violently ejected from the group are on the backburner. But then, will Yuta get himself mentally and physically ready for what’s to come? Or will he end up on The Butcher’s chopping block?

MXM Collection speaks.

They pose, and Mansoor tells The Acclaimed, “You’ve been real salty about us costing you in the Casino Gauntlet match on Dynamite.” Mason Madden says, “Ooh~, did we do that?” Mansoor says MXM will make it up to them. You know how Max Caster likes to say he’s the “Best Wrestler Alive?” MXM has a good laugh, and then Mason says Caster even has a cute little jacket. Mansoor says oh, you mean this jacket? He has the jacket!? Mason says Mansoor is a dastardly dirty dog! Mansoor says MXM being the “genuinely generous gentlemen” they are, they will give this jacket an extreme makeover.

What will they do with it? You’ll just have to watch in an-ti-ci…….pation! MXM laugh and fingertip touch, but are they about to incur the wrath of Platinum Max & The Five Tool Player?

Hikaru Shida VS Harley Cameron w/ Saraya!

The Shining Samurai wants to prove she IS The Ace of AEW, but she’ll have to take it up with the Unproblematic Princess and her chaotic cohort.

Harley bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her, digs her shoulder in, but Shida CLUBS Harley. Harley digs her boot in again, lets off as the ref counts, and Harley brings Shida around. Shida fires body shots but Harley fires knees, and Rampage goes to break!

Rampage returns and Shida kicks low. And kicks again! And again! And again! The fans fire up as Shida just keeps going! Shida then short arm LARIATS!

Harley is losing her cool but Saraya says Harley still has this! Saraya takes Shida’s kendo stick and says do it! Harley says yes, but JAMIE HAYTER says nope! Hayter snatches the stick, and Saraya runs away into the crowd! Shida ROCKS Harley with a forearm, then reels her in! FALCON ARROW!! Cover, Shida wins!

Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall

A big assist to Hayter, and now these former AEW Women’s World Champions lock eyes. Hayter hands Shida her kendo stick back, and Shida nods in respect. When and where will Hayter get her hands on Saraya?

Wait, now that Shida and Hayter are leaving, Saraya scurries back to the ring and grabs a mic! Saraya tells Hayter she is so sick and tired of this! So Saraya VS Hayter, NEXT WEEK AT GRAND SLAM! And it will be… A SARAYA’S RULES MATCH! A what? Hayter gets a mic and tells Saraya she really is as stupid as she looks. All Hayter’s wanted to do is beat Saraya’s ass. So see you in New York!

Will The Relentless One use Player One to get ready for Grand Slam? Will The Glamour melt the Frost even before Fall begins?

Deonna Purrazzo speaks.

“I came here to make art. Beautiful and violent art. And I made it clear that I’ve only just begun. Now, I may have come here alone, but recently, I’ve been reminded that I’ve never truly been alone. Because over the course of my career, I’ve cultivated a… network of friends and family and associates. People I’ve shown generosity. People willing to repay my generosity with loyalty.” In steps Taya Valkyrie! Deonna says if you think her alone is dangerous, just wait ’til you see this thing of theirs. The Virtuosa has recruited La Wera Loca, but is she only the first “associate” in Deonna’s network?

My Thoughts:

It’s been a minute, but we finally got a great Rampage. Even with Roddy & Mortos having a squash match, it was a very fun squash match, and all the other matches were very competitive. Roddy & Mortos of course won tonight to go into Collision with momentum, and I’m thinking that the All Star 10 Man still goes their way. The Outrunners are a lot of fun and fans are falling in love with them, but let’s be fair, they’re still The Outrunners. Of all the people in that match, they’re 9th and 10th place, they’re gonna take the loss to either give Grizzled Young Veterans momentum going into another match with FTR, or to give Roddy momentum going against Hook.

Great opening match from Briscoe VS Keith, and I figured Briscoe would win, and I clearly called it from Dynamite. The Jericho Vortex is not done with The Conglomeration, we’re probably getting some kind of wild Six Man Tag. If they wanted to, WrestleDream could be the place, and maybe we get the return of the Mimosa Mayhem. Probably wishful thinking, but there needs to be something wacky given how this feud has gone. Great stuff from Yuta in his match, I really like how they’re giving him this berserker angle right now. He is so angry with The BCC but what can he do when he’s outnumbered? So, his anger boils over on his opponents like Anthony Henry and The Butcher. I can’t wait for that to be the spot in the World Trios Championship match.

Great stuff from Shida VS Harley, as Harley is being given a chance to show his stuff. But in the end, great win for Shida with the help from Hayter. Just when I thought Saraya was going to delay things by saying “tag match,” Outcasts VS Hayter & Shida, we skip to Saraya VS Hayter. “Saraya’s Rules” are probably going to be really over the top in how biased they are, which ironically means Hayter will still win out. Very good promo from Deonna Purrazzo to also keep continuity with how Taya helped her against Thunder Rosa. Now, this is overall a great idea, as an all female faction can definitely freshen up things for AEW, even with there still being intrigue in how “Mariah wants Mina” and this Hayter VS Saraya feud.

The only gripe I really have with tonight is how the Fatal 4 was booked. Of course I expected Nick Wayne to win it, but the match was structured so that somehow, against three older, more experienced wrestlers, Nick pulled off isolating Lio for a good chunk of the match. I suppose that’s going further with this “Prodigy” nickname, and it was getting heat from the fans, but it would’ve made things a bit more intriguing if The Prodigy had to actually struggle a bit. They already pissed away the tension of Christian and Luchasaurus, so there needs to be something in The Patriarchy to play up the drama. Nick still won, so why not give us that much?

My Score: 8.8/10
