The fans are thunderous as Pac finds Okada and brings him back into the ring. Pac tags in, springboards, 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!!

Will Pac use this momentum to become International Champion against Will Ospreay? What of Okada having to take on three men to defend his title? And will Bryan not stop chasing Jack until it’s time to go All Out?

Backstage interview with The Outrunners.

Lexy Nair is with Truth Magnum, Turbo Floyd & Erica Leigh, who are still celebrating their first win on AEW TV! Can you believe it?! The Outrunners have done it! Load up the jet skis, pop the champagne, they’re taking this party to the ocean! The same week that they’re topping the merch charts is the same week they get their first win on Collision! But wait! Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir attack! Moxley uses a CROWBAR to take out Truth & Turbo! Marina just uses her bare hands to RAM Erica into a wall!! Moxley “congratulates” them, they should throw a parade.

But this is what Moxley means! Maybe they should’ve checked their egos. Moxley & Marina leave The Outrunners behind, will these two become an absolute menace in AEW?

Queen Aminata VS Missa Kate!

Though she’s come close to gold, The Queen has yet to have her crowning achievement. But will it just be a matter of time before the One & Only African Woman is a champion?

The bell rings, Aminata and Kate circle. They tie up, Aminata waistlocks and SLAMS Kate down! Aminata drags Kate up, snap suplexes, but something more seems to be happening backstage.

Kate fires hands, Serena Deeb is watching backstage, and Kate CHOPS! Kate runs, into a DOUBLE CHOP! And a HEADBUTT! Cover, Aminata wins!

Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall

The “Brain Drain” just put Kate to bed, and Aminata looks primed for her moment. When and where will that moment be?

Six Man Tag: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Holo.grm & VS The Dark Order!

The ROH World Tag Team Champions have brought this gold from Texas to Chicago, and they also brought the shining star who has already captured the hearts of the fans. But will The Natural, The Spanish God and the futuristic luchador be a top tier trio? Or will Evil Uno, John Silver & Alex Reynolds prove #DarkOrderIsGood enough for golden opportunities?

The teams sort out and Hologram starts against Uno. The fans fire up for Hologram, but Uno offers a handshake? Hologram takes it, but Uno kicks low! Uno whips, Hologram handsprings to arm-drag! Hologram dodges Uno, goes up and over, then slips around to go to the apron! Then he goes to the other side, keeps moving, and Uno gets frustrated. Uno runs up, but into a GMAANGIRI! Hologram shows off with the front flip! Reynolds stomps in to attack! Reynolds fires hands, whips, but Hologram ducks ‘n’ dodges,. Sammy tags, Hologram sends Reynolds into the SOBAT! Sammy sets up, Hologram rolls off his back so he can DDT!

The fans fire up, Silver runs in, but Sammy SUPERKICKS! Dustin joins in, and they build speed! Team Texas fakes out The Dark Order, and they DOUBLE SPINAROONI! Then Hologram fakes Uno out, to handspring and hero pose! The fans fire up, but then Dark Order drags Team Texas out while Rampage goes picture in picture!

Silver RAMS Dustin into railing, Uno does the same to Hologram, and Reynolds whips Sammy into some! Uno drags Sammy into the ring, keeps him from his corner, and then tags in Silver. The Dark Order stomps away on Sammy, but lets off as the ref counts. Silver flexes, drags Sammy up and scoops to SLAM! Silver flexes again, he’s freakin’ jacked, baby! Cover, ONE!! Silver keeps on Sammy and ROCKS him with a forearm. Tag to Reynolds but the whole Dark Order mugs Sammy! The ref counts, Reynolds snapmares, and he stands on Sammy at ropes. Reynolds then IMPLODER ELBOW DROPS! Cover, TWO!

Reynolds swings on Dustin, goes back for Sammy, but the ref keeps Dustin back. Reynolds drags Sammy up, and bumps him off boots! Uno tags in, he drags Sammy up and hits a BIG suplex! Cover, TWO! Sammy stays in this but Uno stays on him. Uno drags Sammy back to stomp a leg! Tag to Silver, and Silver stays between Sammy and his team. But Sammy fires hands! Silver wobbles, Sammy fires more shots, and Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns as Reynolds back suplexes, but Sammy lands out! Uno back suplexes, Sammy lands out! Sammy ELBOWS Silver, dodges the rest, hot tag to Dustin! The fans fire up as Dustin rallies, then whips. Reynolds reverses but Dustin says “Not Today!” RHODES UPPERCUT! Atomic drop! Dustin runs to BOOT and BULLDOG! Silver runs up, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Uno runs up, into a SNAP POWERLSAM! Reynolds tries, SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Dustin tags Sammy. Sammy tags Hologram, and the trio gets Dark Order up. They all JAB! JAB! JAB! Dark Order shoves back, dodges, and shout STOP! Then TRIPLE SLAP!!

The fans boo but Silver has Hologram on ropes! Silver gets moving, Dark Order TRIPLE KICK COMBO! GERMAN SUPLEX! Silver fires up, the fans are torn, and we see The Premier Athletes all watching. Reynolds & Uno get Hologram up for Silver to run, but Hologram avoids the pendulum! Dustin & Sammy DUMP Silver, Hologram dodges Evil Y Reynolds, and he gives Sammy a boost to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Sammy & Hologram go to the apron! They SUPERKICK Uno & Silver, then go up the corners! DOUBLE ASAI MOONSAULTS!! Direct hits, and then DESTROYER for Reynolds!

Dustin calls to Sammy, Sammy goes up to FLYING CUTTER! Hologram goes up to 450 SPLASH!! Cover, Team Texas wins!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm, by pinfall

A great debut on Rampage for Hologram, a great win overall for the ROH World Tag Team Champions, will they keep this going until they’re dripping with gold?

The Bang Bang Gang speaks.

Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!

Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!

Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?

BREAKING NEWS!

Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.

Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?

Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!

It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?

Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?! Well, what do you expect from modern fashion these days? Anyway, the teams sort out, and the Iron Chic starts against the Aussie Juggernaut. The fans bark for the House of Black, and Mansoor dodges Buddy. Mansoor struts, POSES, and calls for a score. Tens across the board! Buddy scowls, waistlocks, Mansoor switches, but Buddy switches. Mansoor switches again, shoves, and POSES! Another score of tens across the board! Feels like they’re a bit biased, though…

Buddy and Mansoor tie up, Mansoor waistlocks, Buddy switches, but Mansoor ELBOWS free! Mansoor runs, sunset flips, but Buddy stays up! Buddy drags Mansoor up, TOSSES him, then blocks a boot! Buddy swings on Mansoor but Mansoor stays in the ropes! The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and the judges give Buddy all threes! Yeah, definitely biased. Mansoor headlocks, Buddy powers out, and they RAM shoulders! Buddy doesn’t budge, and he headlocks for a takeover! Mansoor headscissors, Buddy kips free, then he avoids the sweep. Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!

Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in. The Mahogany Hunk calls out the King of Death, and the fans bark it up! Buddy tags Brody, and Mason is all fired up! Brody stares Mason down, but then Mansoor tags in? Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!

But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Brody drags Mansoor up to run and RAM him into railing! Brody CHOPS Mansoor against apron, Buddy says ten! The fans cheer, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Brody kicks Mansoor into the ring, drags him up, and CHOPS! TEN! Mansoor stings, he feels more like a two right now. Buddy tags, he drags Mansoor up and CHOPS him down! TEN! Mansoor bails out, the House pursues, and they put Mansoor back in. But Mason ancohrs Buddy! Buddy kicks Mason, but Mansoor DRAPING DDTS Buddy!! Tag to Mason, and he SENTONS! Anmd ELBOW DROPS! And covers, ONE!! Mason snarls, he tags Mason, and MXM double whip.

MXM DOUBLE ELBOW, POSE, but no judges to score it. DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mansoor drags Buddy up, tags Mason in, and MXM mugs Buddy. Mason whips Mansoor in, but Buddy BOOTS him! Buddy goes up and over Mason, but Mansoor lifts Buddy! Mason runs, HIGH KICK SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mason stares Brody down, drags Buddy up, and puts him on ropes. Mason CHOKES Buddy, lets off as the ref counts, and Mansoor hip attacks! Mansoor says kiss this, and Mason tags him in. MXM regroup on the apron, finger boop and DOUBLE HIP ATTACK! Buddy sputters as MXM clap them cheeks!

MXM go again, but Buddy mores! Mansoor takes the worse of that, and Buddy BLASTS them both off the apron! Mansoor hurries back in, and he CLOBBERS Buddy! Mansoor drags Buddy up, brings him over, and Mason steps in. MXM whips Buddy to the corner, then shake their booties. Rampage returns to single picture, Mansoor runs in, but Buddy BOOTS him down! Mansoor falls to his knees, Buddy runs up and uses him for a step! FLYING KNEE into Mason! The fans fire up as Buddy and MXM are all down! Buddy crawls, but Mason YANKS Brody down! The fans boo, but Mason eggs Brody on. Mansoor rolls Buddy, TWO!

Buddy blocks a boot but Mansoor ENZIGIRIS! Mansoor runs, springboards, into a V-TRIGGER!! Both men are down again and the fans fire up! Mansoor and Buddy crawl, hot tags to Brody and Mason! The fans fire up as the two RAM shoulders! Chants of “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” begins! The forearms fly, “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” The CHOPS and the BOOTS, “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Mason dodges, fireman’s carries, but Brody elbows free! ROLLING ELBOW! Fireman’s carry, but Mansoor makes the save! SUPERKICK! Brody LARIATS back! Mason is still up, and he choke grips! Brody pries free, so Mason HEADBUTTS!

Brody goes to a corner, Mason runs up, but Brody OVERHEAD SUPLEXES him into buckles! Mason slumps upside-down, and the fans bark again! Brody storms around as he barks, and then he runs in to CANNONBALL! Mason sputters, Brody drags him to a cover, TWO!! Mason survives and Brody is surprised! Brody frowns, but Mansoor goes after Buddy! Mansoor sends Buddy into steps! Brody drags Mansoor up but Mansoor HOTSHOTS! And CHAIR SHOTS!! The ref was busy checking Mason! Mason SITOUT CHOKE SLAMS!! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives “South of Paris,” but Mason says time to kill ’em fashionably!

Tag to Mansoor, and he storms in. Mason underhooks, but Brody’s too big! Brody sends Mason into Mansoor, tags Buddy, and Buddy METEORAS Mason! Mansoor runs up, into a POP-UP KNEE! SHINING WIZARD in the corner! Buddy puts Mansoor up top then climbs! But Mason CLUBS Buddy! Mason Electric Chairs, but Buddy slips free! Mason is sent into Mansoor, Mansoor lands hard on his runway! Mason grabs Buddy, but Buddy flips free of the choke slam! Buddy then DUMPS Mason out, Brody is in! Brody DIVES onto Mason!! The big men hit railing, and Buddy has Mansoor! SUPER DUPER PLEX!

Buddy rolls through, Brody is in, Mansoor is thrown into DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, The House of Black wins!

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall

Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?

Will Ospreay speaks.

“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.

“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.

You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.

Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.

Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.

And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.

My Score: 8.7/10

Darby Allin VS Johnny TV!

The Relentless One put out an Open Challenge for WrestleDream, because he is that determined to prove he can be the best in AEW. As for tonight, he’s got a Collision with a man who’s been all over the world and held quite a bit of gold. Will Johnny prove Darby is NOT #TVReady? Or will Darby be rolling on the road home to Washington?

As Johnny makes his entrance, Darby throws his pink hoodie at him. Johnny catches it, and then mocks Darby with how it doesn’t even fit Johnny, it’s too small. Johnny then slings his jacket at Darby but Darby catches it. Darby throws Johnny’s jacket down, and the bell rings. The fans rally behind Darby as he and Johnny circle. They tie up, and Johnny powers Darby back. Darby slips around to waistlock, but Johnny switches, only for Darby to slip away. The fans rally as the two reset and circle again. They feel things out, but then Johnny flexes. The fans boo, and Johnny mocks Darby’s height by holding his hand way up.

Darby and Johnny knuckle lock and go shoulder to shoulder. Johnny then cartwheels to wrench and wristlock. But Darby rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Johnny rolls, kips up, but Darby pushes him down to a headlock cover! TWO, and Johnny fights up. Johnny lifts Darby, Darby holds on, but Johnny powers out. Darby turns hip toss into headlock takeover! Cover, ONE! Johnny headscissors but Darby kips free. Johnny hits a snap headlock takeover, but Darby headscissors. Darby then floats around and has the headlock back. Johnny rolls to a cover, ONE! Johnny fights up, powers Darby to a corner, and the ref counts the break.

Johnny lets off slowly, but then he pokes Darby in the eye! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Johnny blocks a boot to put Darby in ropes. KICK and SLIDING GERMAN! Darby writhes and Johnny talks smack. Johnny stalks Darby, covers, TWO! The fans rally but Johnny stalks Darby to a corner. Johnny fires body shots, ROCKS Darby, and follows him to another corner. Johnny shushes the crowd, but he pokes Darby in the eye again! The ref reprimands but Johnny whips Darby corner to corner hard! Darby bounces off buckles, Johnny drags him around to a drop zone. Johnny goes up the corner, but Darby UPPERCUTS!

The fans fire up and Darby hurries after Johnny. Darby goes up to SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Both men writhe and the fans fire up! Johnny rolls out of the ring, the ring count starts, but Johnny returns at 4 of 10. Darby goes to the apron after Johnny, but Johnny RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS to the floor! Both men writhe again and the ref checks. Johnny rises up and rolls in, but then rolls out for a fresh count. Johnny stalks Darby to steel steps, and hoists him up. Johnny SHINING WIZARDS Darby off the steps! Johnny soaks up the heat, then sets up, but Darby moves! The low splash FLOPS! Darby refreshes the ring count and the fans fire up!

Darby goes up a corner! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Darby drags Johnny into the ring, climbs right back up, but Johnny trips him up! Johnny then has Darby in a Tree of Woe, LION’S BARRAGE!

Darby fights the waistlock, but then Johnny cartwheels to a Canadian Rack! Spin and RAZOR’S SIDE SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives but Johnny drags him back to the drop zone. Johnny goes up again, STARSHIP PAIN FLOPS!

Darby runs up, CODE RED!! Cover, TWO!! Johnny survives but Darby is snarling! Darby climbs, to COFFIN DROP to a standing Johnny!! Cover, Darby wins!

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall

Relentless indeed, Darby is heading home for another fight! Darby grabs a mic, has them cut his music, and he says, “On Dynamite, I issued an Open Challenge. WrestleDream, October 12th, anybody in the back, you wanna make your name off of Darby Allin? Step up, and let’s make this official tonight! Anybody in the back, now’s the time! I’m right here! Come out!” Darby wants an answer one week in advance, and who does he get? No one responds and Darby says that’s what he thought. A locker room full of complacent talent. Tell him in five years when they’re in the same position that they could’ve done something about it!

Darby is giving someone a chance at a PPV as big as WrestleDream, but no one’s stepping up. Darby is getting upset, so he heads out. Will someone work up the courage to face him within the next week? WAIT! BRODY KING CLOBBERS DARBY! The fans bark for the House of Black’s King of Death, who has some history with Darby here in AEW. Brody hauls Darby up, for an APRON POWERBOMB! Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody lifts Darby by his neck! “I accept!! WrestleDream, JUST VIOLENCE!” Darby got his answer, is Brody going to make him regret asking?

The Outrunners meet with FTR.

And they must be using The Outrunners’ camera with this retro quality. Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd say if you wanna team with The Outrunners, you gotta have the stuff! Dax Harwood says, “I need to know. What’s… ‘The Stuff?'” You gotta have the meat! So they pump weights face to face! You gotta have the look! So they sunbathe, even though it’s October and cloudy. And you gotta have the attitude! So they bleach Dax’s mustache and give FTR some wide shield sunglasses! FTR is diggin’ it! Cash asks Truth & Turbo, “Do we have The Stuff?” Oh, they got The Stuff! they shake hands, #FTRunners is go!

Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Outrunners!

Well, while FTR now have “The Stuff,” Zack Gibson & James Drake are looking to stuff everyone else in the AEW Tag Division in the bin, aka the trash. Will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem teach Truth & Turbo how to #GritYourTeeth?

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?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Private Party may have won tonight, but they still need to earn their title shot! They’ll be in a Triple Threat against Top Flight’s Darius & Dante Martin and The House of Black’s Malakai Black & Buddy Murphy! The winners will be the NEW #1 contenders, who will get to live the WrestleDream against The Bucks? Plus, other rising tag teams are in action as the Grrrizzled Young Veterans take on The Outrunners! Will Zack Gibson & James Drake make everyone understand they are SSSSOON to be recognized as AEW’s top guys? Or will the Youngest Men Alive show ’em that they ain’t seen nothing yet?

Then, while Wheeler Yuta is preparing to team with Bryan Danielson against former friends in Claudio Castagnoli & Pac, he is going to have a 1v1 match with BEEF! Will Anthony Henry’s second cousin through marriage just be an appetizer before the main course on Dynamite? Darby Allin may have made an Open Challenge for WrestleDream, he has a Collision with Johnny TV! Will Darby show us all how relentless he is? Or will he find he’s just not #TVReady? If you thought last week’s Lucha Libre Triple Threat was something, this week is a Fatal 4 Way of Hologram, Komander, Action Andretti and Nick Wayne!

Plus, Willow Nightingale is targeting Mariah May and the AEW Women’s World Championship, but she takes on The Infantry’s Trish Adora first. Will The Babe with the Power use The AfroPunk as a tune-up for the title match? Lastly, while The Conglomeration is in action against The Learning Tree’s Branches here tonight, they’ll have to turn right back around to face The Premier Athletes, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Will this whole weekend be Freshly Squeezed?

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 CHOKES Aminata on the outside, but Aminata kicks her away. The ref reprimands but Harley grins. Harley storms up on Aminata, SMACKS her off the apron, and then soaks up heat. Harley puts Aminata in the ring, continues to play coy, then storms up to HIP DROP Aminata. Cover, TWO! Harley is annoyed but Aminata fires body shots. 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. Aminata goes up and over, comes back, and she catches Harley’s crossbody! The fans cheer as Amianta swings, but Harley sunset flips through! High stack, TWO! 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!

Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall

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. They go up, Bill runs up, but The Conglomeration drops back. Bill is getting mad, but The Conglomeration high-five and the fans cheer. Keith says don’t worry, Bill, just cool down. Keith and Bill talk strategy while Kyle finally returns.

Bill tags Keith and the fans rally up. Keith and Kyle circle, but Keith takes a swing on Cassidy! Cassidy avoids it, and Kyel waistlocks to then wrangle Keith. Kyle floats all over, slaps Keith around, then eggs him on. The fans cheer, but Keith frowns. Keith SLAPS Kyel! Kyle storms up, Keith bails out, and the chase is on. Bill is lurking, but Kyel dodges him! BOOT for Keith! But Bill has Kyle with the guzel! CHOKE- NO, Cassidy DROPKICKS Bill! Bill lets Kyle go but he also stays up. Bill frowns, but Kyle BOOTS him, then Kyle FLYING KNEES Keith! Cassidy DIVES and he sends Bill into railing! Kyle pushes Keith into Bill, and then KICKS!

Cassidy “kicks,” Kyle KICKS, and repeat as Rampage goes pictur ein pnicture!

The KICKS and kicks keep going, then it’s just all KICKS as Cassidy gets serious! The Conglomeration puts Keith in, DOUBLE KICK Bill, then Kyle hurries into the ring. Kyle fires knees into Keith, then tags Cassidy. They whip Keith, kitchen sink knee, and basement dropkick! Kyle runs to KNEE DROP, Cassidy runs up, to cover! TWO! Cassidy checks and yes, it was a two count, so Cassidy gives thumbs up. Cassidy brings Keith up, ROCKS him, and tags in Kyle. Kyle climbs up and rains down fists! Kyle goes all the way to TEN, then tags Cassidy back in. Cassidy climbs up, and he rains down fists! Well, just one really. Snapmare, cover, TWO!

Kyle paces around, we get a great shot coming through one of the Pittsburgh University halls, and Rampage returns to single picture. Kyle tags Cassidy, they mug Keith but Keith fights back! Keith suplexes Cassidy, but gets STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE!

Kyle steps up to AX & SMASH! Kyle clinches Keith, Cassidy takes aim, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges Bill, Keith breaks free of Kyle, and Cassidy runs at Keith! Keith ducks the Orange Punch to send Cassidy back at Bill for a HAYMAKER! Keith hits an EXPLODER on Cassidy, but Kyle grabs a leg! ANKLE LOCK!! Jericho shouts to roll out, Keith does roll, and Kyle is sent into a HAYMAKER! Keith waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Tag to Bill and the fans are torn.

The fans fire up with Bill and he tags back to Keith. Keith covers Cassidy, TWO! Keith rains down fists on Cassidy, Bill goes after Kyle! Bill CLUBS away on Kyle, then sends him into Keith’s KILLER KNEE! Keith reels Cassidy in, underhooks, and TIGER KNEE STRIKE!! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy survives and Keith is frustrated.

Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls on Bill, but Bill stops the DDT! Kyle slips in, and he dropkicks Bill’s leg! Bill drops to a knee, but he still holds Cassidy up!

ORANGE ANNIHILATION!! Cover, Conglomeration wins!

Winners: Kyle O’Reilly & Orange Cassidy, by pinfall

The numbers game didn’t go how Jericho wanted, and his team is on the losing end! Will this be the same for when The Learning Tree takes on The Sussex County Chicken in Tacoma, Washington? Or will The Ocho still become The Nueve?

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.
