Action Andretti & Lio Rush w/ Top Flight VS Malakai Black & Buddy Matthews w/ Brody King!

The Sight to See was seeing red because of the losing streak he and the whole flight crew was on. Action got himself a win just last night on ROH, will he and The Bad Child keep that momentum going? Or will they learn that #TheHouseAlwaysWins?

The teams sort out and Action is all revved up for this fight. Lio has him cool off and Lio starts, against The Dark Father himself. The fans bark it up as Malakai stands. Malakai and Lio circle, Action talks a lot of trash already, but Malakai smirks. Malakai and Lio step up, and Malakai kicks! Lio leaps it, ducks the backhand, then avoids the sweep! STUNNER, and Malakai goes to the corner! Lio runs up, but into a BOOT! But Lio sweeps the legs! Cover, ONE! Malakai sweeps to cover, ONE! Malakai goes Matrix to avoid Lio’s heel kick! The fans cheer and Action talks more trash, but Malakai and Lio reset.

Malakai and Lio stare down, but Action tags in! Action says Malakai’s got him to deal with now! Malakai smirks and tags to Buddy. The fans rally as the Aussie Juggernaut circles with action, ties up, and Action wrenches to wristlock. Buddy rolls, rolls back, and KICKS Action away. Action is furious, but Lio holds him back! Lio and the crew wants Action to cool off, and Lio tags in. Lio and Buddy circle now, but Action still has to talk trash at Malakai. Buddy whips Lio, Lio stops to bob ‘n’ weave! Lio headlocks, Buddy powers out and he CLOBBERS Lio! Lio gets up, kicks, but Buddy blocks. Buddy FLIPS Lio, and V-TRIGGERS!

Lio flops out of the ring while the fans fire up, and Top Flight coaches Lio back into this. Buddy storms out, SHOVES Action aside, but the ref gets in there to stop this from getting more physical. Buddy puts Lio in, but Action trips Buddy! Buddy BOOTS Action, Lio HANDSPRING KICKS him! Buddy ROCKS Action, Lio DIVES into Buddy! Lio puts Buddy in, hurries to waistlock, tag to Action. Buddy swings on Lio, Lio dodges, and Action FLYING LARIATS! Action BLASTS Malakai, ENZIGIRIS Buddy, and the fans rally up. Lio tags in, he and Action double suplex, but Buddy powers out! Buddy swings, misses, and ends up in a SHOTGUN SANDWICH! Lio covers, TWO!

Lio clamps onto Buddy with a facelock, brings him over, and Action tags in. They mug Buddy, and The Righteous ware watching this with smiles of their own. Action talks trash on Malakai, runs up on Buddy, but Buddy BOOTS him! Buddy BOOTS Lio, too! Buddy whips Action, tags Malakai, kitchen sink KNEE to the PENALTY KICK! KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! Malakai whips Action, ELBOWS him down, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Malakai drops a knee on Action’s face, covers, TWO! Malakai drags Action up, and KICKS him right down! Malakai drags Action over, tags Buddy, and the House mugs Action. Buddy brings Action around to RUNNING SUPLEX! Buddy taunts Lio, then sits Action up to KNEE him in the back, and then PENALTY KICK! Buddy stands Action up to ROCK him with a forearm! Tag to Malakai and the House mugs Action more. Malakai ROCKS Action, brings him around to fire body shots against the ropes, then KICKS him! Action sputters as he slumps against ropes, but Malakai brings him up. Action fires body shots!

Action CHIPS, Malakai KNEES low, then snapmares, to KNEE DROP! Malakai clamps on a chinlock as Rampage returns to single picture. Action endures, the fans rally, and Top Flight coaches him up. Action fights, but he’s also fading! The ref checks, and Action comes back to life! Action rises, fires body shots, but Malakai knees low. Action haymakers, but Malakai blocks the boot. Action fights the clinch, but Malakai BOOTS him! Action ducks ‘n’ dodges, but so does Malakai! DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide! Both men are down and their teams fire up! The fans rally, the two crawl, hot tags to Lio and Buddy!

Lio gets around Buddy, shoves him, then redirects. Lio ducks ‘n’ dodges, slides, but Buddy catches him! Back suplex, but Lio lands out! Lio bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off fast hands and he ROCKS Buddy! PIOSON-RANA!! The fans fire up as Lio whips, but Buddy reverses, into RUSH HOUR!! Buddy staggers up to his feet, Malakai manages to tag! Lio runs in, Malakai blocks and ELBOWS! Malakai ELBOWS Action, too! Malakai storms over to Lio, but Lio schoolboys for the BASEMENT ENZIGIRI! Lio hurries up top, and then Action tags in! Action says he’s got this! The fans boo as Action is messing this up! Because Malakai BOOTS Action into Lio! Then THE END!!! Cover, The House wins!

Winners: Malakai Black & Buddy Matthews, by pinfall

Lio clutches his ankle, that crash landing might’ve done some real damage. Meanwhile, The Righteous are very excited to see how this turned out. Will ol’ Dutch & Vincent look to visit The House of Black next?

Wait, now what is hothead Action doing? He CHUCKS his water bottle at Malakai!? The House turns around and the fans tell Action he messed up. Action doesn’t care, but Brody SPLASHES him in the corner! The fans bark it up as The House sets up! Top Flight drags Action out of the ring, saving him from himself more than anything. What will it take to make Action think before he acts?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer, and in her return to AEW, Anna takes on Robyn Renegade. Anna has been away in Japan for three months, made some pretty bold claims, what can we expect? Anna says Lexy’s known her since day one of her AEW career. From The Star of the Show to TayJay to Anna Jay-A-S, having a fat ass and a bad attitude, which is still true, and then she made her mark in Japan. So where does Anna fit in now? She doesn’t really know. The AEW Women’s Division looks a lot different than when she left it, but time to find out! Punch by punch, kick by kick, choke by choke!

And let’s see where Robyn fits in, too. Tonight, just try her! Will The Queenslayer use this Renegade to make herself the future of AEW?

Anna Jay VS Robyn Renegade!

AEW returns as Anna makes her entrance to the ring, Robyn already waiting. The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. The two tie up, and Robyn uses her height advantage for leverage. But Anna turns things around to put Robyn in a corner. Anna lets off as the ref counts, but Robyn pushes Anna. Robyn talks trash on Anna, the two reset, and they tie up again. Anna headlocks, but Robyn powers up and out. Anna runs Robyn over, things keep moving, and Robyn hurdles. Anna blocks hip toss to fire knee after knee! Anna whips Robyn to a corner, then runs up to forearm SMASH! Anna CHOPS Robyn, then hoists her up top.

Anna wrenches to HOOK KICK! The fans rally for Anna as she hits an ICONOCLASM! Then Anna runs to SHOTGUN! Robyn flounders, Anna drags her up, but Robyn fights the backslide! Robyn runs to ropes, the ref counts, and Anna lets off. But Robyn SUCKER PUNCHES her! Robyn CHOPS Anna, ROCKS her in a corner, then brings Anna around to snapmare. Robyn clamps on, and she fishhooks Anna to make her smile! The ref reprimands, Robyn shoves Anna down at 4. Robyn says it’s finger lickin’ good, then she drags Anna up. Anna JAWBREAKERS! Then CHOPS! Then counter punches!

Anna whips, Robyn reverses, but Anna ducks ‘n’ dodges! Anna CLOBBERS Robyn and the fans fire up! Anna kicks low, runs, and ROLLING NECKBREAKERS! Anna wrenches to HOOK KICK again, then Gory Especial! Shoutout to Tay with the GORY BOMB! Cover, Anna wins!

Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall

Whether she’s Star of the Show or not, that’s a big return win from Anna! Will she get even bigger wins until she finally wins the big one?

AEW shares a clip from the Will Ospreay & Ricochet sit-down interview.

The full interview is available now on AEW’s YouTube, but Renee Paquette moderated this face-to-face with Aerial Assassin and #One&Only. In this clip, Ospreay said that this heated rivalry between them, it stems from the “big brother, little brother” kind of thing they’ve always had. Ospreay does feel there is a tinge of jealousy. Ospreay won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, while Ricochet fought for it three times and never got it. Here Ospreay is holding that title while Ricochet walks out the door, doing whatever it is he needed to do (Lucha Underground and WWE).

Ricochet asks if Ospreay really thinks Ricochet not winning a championship in a company is him not fulfilling a promise. He has decades of championships, of great memories, and of giving people feelings. Decades of people walking out of the building, whether Ricochet was champion or not, having people remember him. But speaking of titles, these two will battle for the AEW International Championship this Wednesday as part of the AEW Dynamite 5 Year Anniversary Show! Will Ricochet leave Pittsburgh with that title? Or will Ospreay make him settle for just “giving people feelings?”

Konosuke Takeshita VS Angelico!

Speaking of wanting titles, The Alpha is still in pursuit of gold, but he still has to fight his way to that opportunity. Will tonight bring him one step closer to contention? Or will the South African Stud do the same in his own championship journey?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Angelico and Konosuke circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Konosuke knees low, throws Angelico down, then KICKS him! Angelico gets up to JAB, Konosuke CHOPS, repeat! Konosuke CLAWS Angelico in the eyes, headlocks, but Angelico throws body shots. Angelico powers out to then reel Konosuke in, O’Conner Roll! TWO, and Konosuke clinches. Angelico fights, wrenches, and steps over. Konosuke rolls, rolls Angelico, but Angelico rolls through! Angelico jumps up to BOOT Konosuke down! Konosuke bails out, the fans fire up with Angelico, and Angelico runs.

Konosuke moves, so Angelico rolls back, and he vibes into the Bernie Lean. The fans fire up, Konosuke rolls in, but then rolls out. Konosuke smirks as he trolls Angelico, and Angelico runs up. Konosuke trips Angelico, drags him out, and fires off forearms! Konosuke then brings Angelico around, only for Angelico to POST him! Angelico storms up to KICK Konosuke against railing! Angelico puts Konosuke in, fires up, and the fans cheer. Konosuke runs up to kick low! Konosuke whips, Angelico reverses, but the TAKESHITA LINE hits! The fans rlaly while Konosuke smirks, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Konosuke drags Angelico around, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a chinlock. Angelico endures, even as a knee digs into his back. Angelico fights up, breaks free and CHOPS! Konosuke just frowns. Konosuke winds up but Angelico ducks to JAB and CHOP! Angelico blocks a chop, wrenches, but Konosuke breaks free! Konosuke feints a chop to then CHOP Angelico on the back! Angelico gets mad, and he fires off hands and kicks from all angles! Then he CHOPS at the ropes! Angelico whips, Konosuke reverses, and he LARIATS Angelico inside out! Konosuke huffs ‘n’ puffs while Angelico writhes, and the fans rally up.

Konosuke drags Angelico into a chinlock and grinds him down. Angelico endures, fights up, but Konosuke wrangles him back down! Angelico fights up, but Konosuke kicks low to DDT! Cover, TWO! Angelico stays in this, but Konosuke stays on him to TWIST the neck! Angelico writhes, and Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and Angelico is in a corner. Konosuke runs up, but into a BOOT! Konosuke comes back but into BOOTS! Angelico dodges this time, runs and LARIATS Konosuke! And another LARIAT! The fans fire up, Angelico whips, but Konosuke reverses. Angelico rolls off Konosuke’s back! Konosuke jumps the leg sweep but the EDDY GORDO KICK hits! Cradle, TWO!! Konosuke escapes in time! Angelico waits on Konosuke, wrenches an arm to a hammerlock, then spins him to arm-drag! Konosuke gets up, Angelico wrenches and hammerlocks again. Angelico makes Konosuke kneel, then he pulls on the arms!

Konosuke endures both that deep hammerlock and this modified cording hold, and he fights up! Konosuke powers out to ROCK Angelico! Angelico wobbles, but Konosuke whips. Scoop and POWER- NO, Angelico slips free to send Konosuke into buckles! Drop toehold, float and INVERTED STF! Konosuke endures, pulls at the hold, reaches out for ropes, and fights to the ROPEBREAK! The fans are torn, but Angelico lets off as the ref counts. Angelico stalks Konosuke to the apron, but Konosuke RAMS into him! Konosuke goes up, but Angelico ROCKS him first! Angelico climbs up, but Konosuke fires forearms!

Konosuke CLAWS Angelico’s eyes, shoves him down, then brings him around. Angelico PELES Konosuke back! The fans fire up and Angelico climbs! Angelico gets under Konosuke to BACKDROP him from the top! Konosuke flounders, Angelico CROSSBODIES, into an ALPHA ELBOW!! Konosuke fires up, brings Angelico in, BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! But that’ snot all, deadlift into the RAGING FIRE!! Cover, Konosuke wins!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall

The Alpha uses the power of thunder and fire to take down Angelico! Will Konosuke make himself a force of nature as he pursues championship gold?

The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn VS TJ Crawford & Ryan Clancy!

It’s a return to action and Platinum Max has the mic! “We in Springfield, where they eat dogs ‘n’ cats. These two b*tches gettin’ mauled to death! I hope Tony Khan doesn’t call you back! Nut up or shut up, there’s no balls in these sets! Be added to the murder rate, y’all gettin’ killed like Trump in the first debate! We killin’ the game. In Springfield, everybody loves The Acclaimed.” Anthony Bowens takes the mic to tell “Springfield, Massachuseeeeeetts~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor Me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But will Caster & Bowens be back on track? Or are things about to get FANCY?

The teams sort out, and Caster starts against Clancy. They feel out a knuckle lock, but then Caster kicks low! Caster CLUBS Clancy, CLUBS him more, then taunts Crawford. Caster whips, Clancy reverses but Caster ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Clancy DROPKICKS! Clancy flexes, then brings Caster up, but Caster BACKHANDS him! Caster ROCKS Clancy, fires off more shots, and Bowens tags in. Caster sends Bowens in to forearm SMASH! Caster adds an ELBOW, then Bowens runs to SMASH again! Bowens feeds Clancy to a LARIAT! Clancy tags Crawford, he fires off kicks on Bowens! ROUNDHOUSE! Crawford runs, but into Rock Paper Scissors SUPERKICK!

Bowens reminds us, “EVERYONE! LOVES THE ACCLAIMED!” Bowens TOSSES Clancy in, tags Caster, and Clancy gets THE ARRIVAL, to THE MIC DROP! Crawford staggers up, Caster tags Bowens. Acclaimed get Crawford up for the IMPLODER DRIVER! Cover, Acclaimed wins!

Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall

But that’s not all, as they get the mics back! Caster shouts out the other Max by saying, “Cut my music, cut my music.” Caster then says, “Yo! Yo! YO! Listen. MXM, the Maximum Male Models or whatever they’re called. I heard that, uh, they’re having a little fashion show for Grand Slam Collision. Well, guys, you wanted to give The Best Wrestler Alive’s jacket a little makeover. They wanna make over my jacket. Well, guys, all you had to do was ask! I love makeovers! I love what you guys are all about. Putting makeup on each other, tickling each other’s butts with little feathers. I love what you pansies are all about!

“But guys… I think it’s time for The Acclaimed to crash your little party on Collision, and it’s gonna be time to nut up or shut up!” The fans cheer that, but then MXM speak from the tron! Mansoor gets their attention, then turns to Mason Madden. Mason says they know The Acclaimed want MXM to go to that ring right now. But there seems to be a little bit of confusion. Tonight isn’t the Grand Slam finale of New York Fashion week. That’s tomorrow night. At Arthur Ashe Stadium. At Grand Slam Collision. And in the spirit of Arthur Ashe, MXM will be serving. But The Acclaimed won’t be receiving, because they’re no longer invited!

MXM laughs in turn as they turn around, and MXM “hopes” Acclaimed can find a comfortable spot on their couch from which to watch the greatest debut in fashion history! MXM fingertip touch, but what could they have done to Caster’s jacket? Will they come to regret getting on The Acclaimed’s bad side?

Willow Nightingale VS Taya Valkyrie!

The Babe with The Power stood up to Mariah May as she was about to brutalize Yuka Sakazaki, but she’s not the only one interested in the title picture. Mrs. TV wants to be The Main Character, but will she find herself more like a major antagonist for the real hero of this story?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Willow. Willow dodges Taya, then dodges her again. Willow seems a bit out of sorts, but she still waistlocks Taya first. Taya fights the lift, wrenches out, but Willow whips her to a corner. Willow runs up but into a BOOT! Taya trips Willow for ground ‘n’ pound! Willow gets loose but Taya stomps her down. Taya bumps Willow off buckles but the fans rally up. Taya CHOPS, but Willow CHOPS! Taya ROCKS Willow, brings her around and bumps her off more buckles. Taya stomps a mudhole, the ref counts, but Taya lets off. Taya argues with the ref, but Willow fires a forearm!

Taya fires a flurry of forearms, then whips, but Willow cartwheels through! Willow ENZIGIRIS, then scoops to SLAM! Willow gets that fire going as she scoops and SLAMS Taya again! The fans rally, Willow pumps up to scoop and march around. Taya slips free then CLUBS Willow on the back! Willow ends up on ropes, Taya runs, but Willow dodges! Willow CLUBS Taya, scoops her again to SLAM! Then Willow runs to SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Taya toughs it out but Willow storms around. The fans fire up behind Willow as she goes up, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Taya tumbles away, right out of the ring!

Willow goes to the apron, and runs up to CANNONBALL! Down goes Taya and the fans fire up again! Taya flounders, the ref checks her, and Willow stays back while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Willow keeps the fans fired up, and it would seem Taya is okay. Willow fires forearms, puts Taya in the ring, but then Taya bails out the side. Taya staggers, but Willow pursues her. Willow CLUBS Taya, stalks her to railing, but Taya YANKS her into them! Willow sits back, Taya runs up, METEORA against railing! Taya smothers Willow, but lets off as the ref goes out there. Taya taunts us through the camera, then stomps Willow around. Taya likes the one fan’s bright yellow hair, can’t imagine why. Taya SMACKS Willow off the steel steps! The ref reprimands, Taya “apologizes,” but then she soaks up the heat.

Taya kicks Willow, pushes her into the ring, then stalks her. Taya pushes Willow over to cover, TWO! Willow stays in this but Taya stays on her. Willow fires body shots, then waistlocks. Taya fights with elbows, but Willow brings her in for a cradle! TWO, and Taya runs to SHOTGUN! Willow falls, and Taya talks trash. Taya stalks Willow, scuffs her, pushes her to ropes, then CHOKES her! The ref counts, Taya lets off at 4, and she drags Willow up. Taya talks more trash, and she CHOPS! Willow sputters to a corner, Taya SLAPS her, and Willow flops over. Taya drags Willow up, but Willow fires body shots! Taya CLUBS Willow down! Taya covers, TWO!

Taya is annoyed but she clamps onto Willow with a seated cobra twist! Willow endures as Taya digs an elbow into her head! Taya shifts, adds a dragon sleeper to the mix, and then CLUBS Willow in the chest! Taya then shifts to have a top wristlock but Willow still endures. Willow fights up as Rampage returns to single picture. Willow fires body shots, Taya fires knees, repeat! Taya runs, but Willow follows! Taya ducks, but Willow waistlocks. Taya bucks the O’Conner but a LARIAT takes Taya down! The fans fire up with Willow as she rises. Willow brings Taya around to whip, but Taya reverses. Taya runs up, into an ELBOW!

Taya tries again, Willow dodges and CHOPS! Willow goes corner to corner and BACK BODY BLOCKS! Then LARIATS! Snapmare, and a BOOT! The fans fire up with Willow again, and she whips Taya to ropes. SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO!! Taya stays in this but the fans stay behind Willow. Willow goes up a corner, aims again, MISSILE- NO, Taya dodges! Willow flounders, Taya fireman’s carries! But Willow slips free, shoves, but Taya ducks the lariat! Mule kick, knee lift, LARIAT! The fans boo but Taya grins as she runs in, METEORA in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Willow survives and Taya slaps herself to focus.

Taya hauls Willow up, CHOPS her in the corner, then puts her up top. Taya fires forearms, the fans rally up, and Taya climbs. But Willow CLUBS Taya! Willow slips under, brings Taya off the corner, but Taya fights free! SUPERKICK! Willow falls, Taya hurries to the corner! Taya climbs, but Willow rises! Willow ROCKS Taya, goes up, and she brings Taya to the very top! SUPERPLEX! Both women are down and the fans fire up! A standing count begins and the two stir. Willow grabs for ropes and drags herself up. We’re past 5 of 10, but both women stand at 7! Taya fires a forearm, and another, and another!

Taya SLAPS Willow, but that was a mistake! Taya runs, Willow goes the other way! Willow POUUUNCE~! PERIOD! The straps are down, Willow hauls Taya up, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

That was a battle to be sure, and though Willow won, both women are smiling! Is Taya still going to see herself as the Main Character no matter what? Will Willow win her way onto Mariah May’s radar?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here, with a bit more story build than usual. Very good stuff with the opening tag match, and Action was really heated the whole time. Seems a bit too much when he isn’t acting like that in ROH, just AEW. But still good stuff overall, and it of course cost his team. Action isn’t letting it go, though, so we’ll surely get more of these teams facing each other. The Righteous also being present, they probably get more involved the next time. Not sure why they haven’t been seen with Lance Archer, but it just proves to me TK moves his people around without thinking. Archer, Dutch & Vincent VS House of Black should be a Trios match we get for like WrestleDream Zero Hour.

Very good promo from Anna to lead into her match with Robyn, and it was a solid match. Of course Anna won, but I like that she did it with Tay Conti’s Gory Bomb. Anna might not be ready for the world title, but she could probably challenge for the TBS Championship at some point. Great match from Konosuke and Angelico, and great win for Konosuke. Sammy Guevara may be getting his Title Eliminator with Okada on Collision but I’m thinking Sammy loses that, because it should be Konosuke taking the Continental Championship from The Rainmaker.

A good rap from Caster, though a touch generic when he’s just facing normal looking guys Clancy & Crawford. And good match, but of course The Acclaimed win, then call out MXM, only for MXM to respond. That “fashion reveal” will be a fun segment for Collision, and surely we get a tag match, maybe even at WrestleDream so all these guys get that big stage to shine on. Hard to say the winners challenge for tag titles following but it’d be quite the proverbial feather in the caps of MXM if they beat one of the more decorated factions in AEW.

And great match in the main event from Willow and Taya, though Taya did seem to be a little rattled after that cannonball to the floor. She shook it off, finished the match, and gave Willow a great win. As I said for Dynamite, Willow surely floats in that AEW Women’s World Championship scene to complicate things further between Mariah and Mina. Maybe we get a tag match, maybe we get Willow VS Mariah before we get Mariah VS Mina, it could be some really fun stuff.

My Score: 8.8/10

Six Man Tag: The Elite VS Katsuyori Shibata & Private Party!

Jack Perry has accepted The Wrestler’s challenge for the AEW TNT Championship, while Matthew & Nicholas were considering the challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. But will Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make the EVPs accept by beating them now like they did roughly five years ago? Or will The Scapegoat & The Bucks show us why they are THE Elite?

The teams sort out and while fans sing, “OH~ Cry Me a River~!” Shibata is calling out Perry. Perry says alright, fine, and he steps up! The fans cheer, the bell rings, and the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then clinch. Shibata throws Perry down to then have a lateral press. Perry moves around, Shibata has the top mount, and Shibata toys with Perry a bit before he shifts into the ARMBAR! Perry fights around, clasps hands, and has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts but Shibata lets off quickly. Shibata storms up but Perry is in the ropes. The ref has Shibata stand back, but then Perry pie faces Shibata!

The ref reprimands, but Perry eggs Shibata on. Perry then bails out, but Shibata pursues! Perry slides in, tags Nick, and Perry TACKLES Shibata as he slides in! Nick stomps away on Shibata, he and Perry double whip. Shibata TACKLES Perry! The fans fire up but Nick stomps Shibata. Shibata still punches Perry, but then he notices the kicks. Shibata storms upon Nick but Perry CLUBS Shibata down! Perry CHOKES Shibata, the fans boo, but Perry lets off. Nick drags Shibata up, but Shibata ROCKS Nick! Nick falls back, and Shibata tags Quen. They mug Perry, then Quen whips. Nick reverses but Quen RANAS!

The fans fire up with Quen, and he SOBATS! Tag to Zay, they double whip to atomic drop, ENZIGIRI, but Matt runs in! Quen drop toeholds, Zay Camel Clutches, and Quen leapfrogs to DOUBLE STOMP! Matt goes rolling, Nick runs up, but into a DOUBLE FLAPJACK! Zay covers, but Perry stomps it! Perry sucker punches Shibata then soaks up heat. Zay is frustrated but Shibata runs in to BOOT Perry! Zay LARIATS Nick up and out, then Private Party DOUBLE PLANCHA! Down go The Bucks and the fans fire up! Private Party puts Nick in and then Zay fires off in a corner.

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Private Party, by pinfall

Five years later and it’s another shocker! Perry taunts Shibata with the TNT Championship, but The Bucks do give applause to Private Party. Will The Elite have to be much more careful if they want to keep their gold?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Renee Paquette is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and notes we haven’t seen Kris in action since her win at All Out. What does she have her sights set on next? Kris says we could all sense that Chicago Street Fight was the end of an era for her. She has been in a group, she has had a manager, and with the anniversary of Dynamite just passing, let’s bring it back to how she started in AEW: on her own. Kris is stronger, more independent, she’s like, a “Born Again Kristen.” We all saw that she is the toughest, the strongest, and- Kamille steps in. The Brickhouse asks if that’s right. Biggest? Toughest? Strongest? Her match is next.

Kamille pushes past Kris, and Mercedes Mone follows. The CEO tells Kris, “You better watch, b*tch.” Mone laughs, did she just put herself on Kris’ radar?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the wacky Aussie and says while she’s in a match tonight with Queen Aminata, does Harley have an update on Saraya after that vicious match with Jamie Hayter? Harley says Saraya is currently incapacitated. No further questions. But what about her match with- NO further questions! Then what about…? Oh, yes, yes, her match. She should say something on that. Harley tells Aminata, “You are in a lot of trouble. RAWR!” That’ll do, right? Sure… Harley heads out, will she take out her frustrations on Aminata tonight? Or is she going to end up “incapacitated” alongside Saraya?

Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Zoey Lynn!

The Brickhouse is The CEO’s big investment, and insurance policy. Will the former NWA World Women’s Champion remind us why she is a former NWA World Women’s Champion? Or can Zoey bring her down with some Angel Dust?

The bell rings and Kamille SPEARS Zoey!! The fans boo but Mone says Kamille has arrived! Kamille drags Zoey up, dragon sleepers, and TWISTING NECKBREAKER! Cover, Kamille wins!

Winner: Kamille, by pinfall

Mone raises Kamille’s hand as they both stand over Zoey Lynn. Between The CEO and The Brickhouse, will no one stop them from taking over AEW?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Renee is now with The Queenslayer, and says she had a tremendous showing in her return to AEW last week. It got a lot of people’s attention, but especially Will Ospreay. Anna says yes, Ospreay tweeted out a compliment on how great she has improved, from footwork to pacing, so she thanks Ospreay for that. He’s not too bad himself. Having one of the greatest wrestlers alive today see your hard work paying off is one of the best feelings ever. So if Ospreay sees it, then you know the AEW Women’s Division is seeing it. So if you don’t take her word for it, and if you don’t take Ospreay’s word for it, just do her a favor and try her.

Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie speak.

The Virtuosa says, “This thing of ours operates according to a code. That those who want respect give respect.” La Wera Loca says, “It’s simple, elegant.” Deonna has shown Taya generosity, and Taya accepted it. Despite early missteps, Deonna remains committed to this thing of theirs, because Taya has earned Deonna’s respect by owning the misstep. Taya says there is much to learn for “I” to become “We.” Deonna says that is what is missing in a place like AEW. These two must teach AEW that they are all bound together by the code. Those that want respect must give respect. And those who refuse get it beaten into them!

Queen Aminata VS Harley Cameron!

The One True African Woman may have Serena Deeb in her sights, and the wacky Aussie may have Jamie Hayter on her mind, they both must focus on who is in the ring with them. Will Aminata prove to the Professor that she doesn’t need the lessons? Or can Harley show Hayter that she’s not the only one who hits hard?

The bell rings, the two circle, and Harley KNEES low! Harley headlocks, Aminata powers up and out, then waistlocks. Harley fights the lift, throws elbows, then runs. Aminata gets around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans fire up while Harley hobbles up. Aminata and Harley circle again, Harley gets around to waistlock, but Aminata wrenches out. Aminata wristlocks, brings Harley down, then steps over to twerk attack! Aminata wrenches more, but Harley kicks low! And KICKS again! And ENZIGIRIS! Aminata wobbles, Harley brings Aminata in and, uh, wait, aren’t The Iron Savages the ones who take us to Tiddy City?

Harley runs, but Aminata ROCKS her! Amianta snapmares Harley, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Aminata smiles, and she stalks Harley to a corner. Aminata runs around the world to BOOT WASH! Aminata reminds us she is the one and only, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Aminata pushes Harley around, brings her up, but Harley bails out. Harley says timeout, but Aminata goes out after her. Aminata storms up but Harley KNEES her low, then THROWS her by her hair!

Harley CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on a chinlock.

Harley grinds Aminata down, but Aminata endures. Aminata fights up, fights back, but Harley knees low again! Harley bumps Aminata off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, but steps off as the ref counts. Harley bumps Aminata off more buckles, then grinds her boot in. The ref counts, Harley steps back, and she drags Aminata up. Harley brings Aminata around to throw her down by her hair! Cover, TWO! Aminata stays in this, but Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and Harley ELBOWS Aminata in the shoulder! And ELBOWS her again! Harley LICKS Aminata, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Harley overcommitted on that deep leg hook, and Amianta survives for it. Harley runs in, but Aminata puts her on the apron! Harley ROUNDHOUSES, puts Aminata in ropes, and AX KICKS her down! The fans boo but Harley aims, to then run and- NO, Aminata blocks the kick to trip Harley up! Harley hits the apron hard, and Aminata brings her around. DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Aminata puts Harley in the ring. Aminata storms up but Harley fires forearms!

Aminata ROCKS Harley! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Harley falls, jumps back up, but Aminata wrenches and snap suplexes! And LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Aminata stays cool. Aminata runs in again, but Harley avoids the boot wash! Harley RAMS into Aminata again and again, but the ref counts. Harley lets off, huffs ‘n’ puffs, then runs in.

Aminat ais up, she dodges Harley, and scoops again! Harley tilt-o-whirls but Aminata powers her to a BACKBREAKER!

The fans fire up, QUEEN’S CROWN!! Cover, Aminata wins!

The former #BrainDrain gives Aminata a great win, but then Serena Deeb attacks from behind!! The Professor is pissed, and she SLAMS Amianta’s leg on the apron! Serena grins as she grabs the leg and pulls it against ropes in a HALF CRAB! Aminata taps, but here comes Britt Baker! The Doctor is returning the favor from Wednesday, but Serena bails! The Professor got her shots on Aminata, but will the walls start closing in?

Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.

Renee is now with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and Caster is still sporting the remade jacket. With that, let’s talk MXM Collection. It is hard to keep track of what is going on, but Billy speaks up. He doesn’t mean to correct her, but he is “Hans!” Hans Gunn! But MXM, how stupid are you to not know it was Billy? It was Billy all along! So stupid, trying to embarrass The Best Wrestler Alive, try to embarrass The Acclaimed, with a makeover on Caster’s jacket. Y’know what? Caster likes the lace, how it makes his arms look bigger. And this heart cutout makes his muscles look popping! He looks as handsome as ever!

Bowens says that’s right! Before, they were gonna cut that thing up. But no, MXM just embarrassed themselves. Acclaimed said to nut up or shut up, and they sure shut up MXM real quick. Just like they will do if they get in the ring. Because once The Acclaimed is done with MXM, they will get the makeover of a lifetime. WHY? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! When and where will Platinum Max & The Scissor King cut down the Sultan of Suave and the Mahogany Hunk?

BREAKING NEWS for WrestleDream!

After Konosuke Takeshita attacked Will Ospreay and Ricochet on Wednesday, it seems the only way to settle this International Championship scenario is with a TRIPLE THREAT! Will The Alpha finally have gold in AEW? Will the Aerial Assassin finally be done with The Don Callis Family? Or are they both overlooking The One & Only?

Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!

The Conglomeration has been very busy this week. They were here Wednesday to confront The Learning Tree, and we now have Mark Briscoe VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream. But speaking of, Jericho is joining commentary to watch his guys, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist prune these Branches? Or will they be made to respect Chris Jericho?

The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Bill. The fans rally as Cassidy and Bill stare down, and Bill mocks the hands in pockets. The fans boo, but Bill says show him how it’s done then. Cassidy puts his hands near pockets, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges, sunset flips, but Bill stays standing. Cassidy stops trying, and Bill YANKS Cassidy up! Bill whips, Cassidy stops by holding ropes, and then Casidy bails out. Cassidy shakes his head, knowing his limits against a man as big as Bill. Bill mockingly holds the ropes open and calls to Cassidy like a puppy dog. Cassidy steps up, but then rolls into the ring.

The fans cheer as Cassidy lounges on the mat. Bill storms up but then Cassidy rolls back out of the ring. The fans cheer more while Bill gets annoyed. Bill storms out, Cassidy slides in! Bill steps back in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tags Kyle! Kyle runs up but Bill RAMS him! Kyle drops out of the ring and the fans cheer. Bill is annoyed as he watches Kyle & Cassidy coordinate.

Keith and Bill talk strategy while Kyle finally returns.

Meanwhile, Kyle & Cassidy only have 24 hours to rest, because they have a Collision with The Premier Athletes tomorrow night! Will Pittsburgh be Freshly Squeezed all weekend long?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here, which is interesting as there’s word Rampage is going to be shut down for whatever show AEW puts on Fox Sports 1. Honestly, they should’ve been trying hard the whole time with Rampage but whatever. Kamille probably had the shortest squash match in AEW yet, but it was to make a point after she and Mone got in Kris’s face. Kris’s promo was still rather Heel like, but it’s a bit surprising that she and Stokely Hathaway have just parted ways with no real pomp or circumstance. And pitting her against Kamille and Mone would be quite the way to turn her back to Face. Not that Kris’s attitude needs to change, she’d just be Face by default with those two.

Very good promo from Deonna & Taya, this maybe should’ve been given to us a bit sooner, but it also doesn’t really add much to the story. Good promo from Anna Jay, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Good promo from Harley to segue into her match, which was a great match. Like Anna Jay, Harley is really improving, but Aminata still gets a great win. But of course Serena attacks Aminata, and then of course Britt Baker saves Aminata. I feel like we could get a tag match of Britt & Aminata VS Serena and who knows, but it’d be a great opportunity for any Heel to get on TV, maybe have someone actually take Serena up on teaching them things.

Great opening Six Man Tag tonight, definitely higher quality than what they usually put on Rampage. And it was rather surprising Shibata & Private Party took the win here, if only because they also announced that Triple Threat #1 Contenders match during it. I kinda though that news undercut what was going on in the match, regardless of who won. But given the feud between House of Black and Top Flight, I feel like Private Party wins out and they get the tag title match. As it stands, it doesn’t feel like Shibata or Private Party win the titles at WrestleDream, mostly because The Elite might cheat, but it’d be so great if Private Party finally won the big one.

And great main event here, even if this feud of Conglomeration and #JerichoVortex is going a little longer than needed. I really hope Jericho VS Briscoe for the ROH World Championship is the blowoff, and hopefully with Briscoe retaining. Not sure what that would mean for either team, but if it’s what we’ve all been hoping, i.e. Jericho mistreating Bill and Bill turning on Jericho, that’d be nice. Bill can maybe get himself going on a title story, too, using even just one win over Jericho as the springboard towards the TNT or Continental Championships.
