Jon Moxley speaks.
It was only moments after the disgusting and horrific ending to WrestleDream that The Maniac told us, “Someone has to be responsible when things get out of control. So I will be responsible. People think they know what I’m about? They think they know what motivates me? They don’t know anything. I have a dream of a land of opportunity. Where people come to AEW and they can achieve anything they want. They can be the best version of themselves they can be. Wrestling gave me everything in the world, I want that for other people. 150 wrestlers on the roster, with big fat paychecks and their junk on their hands. What’re they supposed to do?”
Moxley says he hates what AEW has become. Egos are out of control, they’re celebrating things that don’t need celebrating, dancing and partying when there’s no need to be dancing and partying. Moxley cannot stand it anymore. The Blackpool Combat Club is driving around in their truck while we get clips of the roster reacting to Bryan Danielson’s critical condition. But Moxley says he will burn down the forest to grow a new one. He is not sentimental. He and the BCC will do what has to be done. They see a better future and they will make it happen. If you want, you can come with them. If you don’t, run while you can. Stand down while you can. Get out of their way!
What’s the “need to know” for those in AEW? What’s the “need to know?” What is the new paradigm? It is very simple: You work for Moxley now. It sure seems Wheeler Yuta has fallen in line under that principle, but will the rest of AEW refuse this order?
Adam Cole is here!
San Jose fires up for the Dynamite return of the Panama City Playboy, but we all saw him return to AEW at WrestleDream. Fans join in on “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic while the fans chant, “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Cole says, “I think I know the answer, but who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” The fans cheer because they are ready! Cole says first and foremost, to The Undisputed Kingdom, Roddy, Mike & Matt, he loves them all, but he has to do this on his own.
Now, Cole did think about coming out here to talk about his year long road to recovery, all the challenges he went through, and how damn happy he is to be back in this ring. But truth be told, we don’t need to hear about that. What we do need to hear about is the worst human being Cole has ever met, and that is MJF. Boys and girls, life is filled with shades of gray, trying to constantly decide right from wrong, good from evil. And if Cole has learned anything, it is that sometimes you fight evil with evil. Because MJF will tell Cole that he betrayed him for no reason. That Cole broke a promise and destroyed MJF’s trust.
Trust is a very interesting word. Trust is indeed the foundation of every good friendship. Without trust, you have nothing. Adam Cole may be many things, but stupid is not one of them. And anyone who thinks that you should trust MJF is stupid! The MJF that we see now, boys and girls, is the REAL MJF. The one Cole saw behind closed doors. The one that has terrorized AEW for five YEARS! The one that pretends to say he cares about AEW when in reality, he only cares about himself. THAT is the real MJF. If Cole could describe MJF in one word, it is “Fake.” Everything about MJF head to toe is fake!
Look at his hair! It took two surgeries, but it’s on his head now! FAKE. Or wait, better yet, his brash attitude. Acting so much like MJF does what he wants, when he wants, and doesn’t care about anyone, when in reality, MJF is just a scared, insecure little boy. If you wanna put that to the test, everyone right now can go on social media, and if you trash MJF, MJF will act like he doesn’t care, but Cole swears to God, MJF will be crying in a corner of his hotel room! “MJF is a phony. MJF can’t be trusted. And everyone in that locker room right now is smiling and agreeing with every single thing that I am saying.”
Cole does wanna talk about the locker room, because AEW has the best pro-wrestlers in the world! The fans cheer that! Cole says we also have a young group of guys hungry, trying to get better week after week, and that carry AEW into the future and continue to make this the best pro-wrestling company in the world! The fans cheer that, too! Cole says it makes him sick to his stomach to imagine these young talents and seeing MJF as an example for a path to success, when MJF’s path is nothing but failure and loneliness! Cole says MJF thinks that he is someone special. MJF thinks he is the best that’s ever been in AEW.
Cole swears with every fiber of his being, that everyone in AEW hates MJF! Cole hates MJF! He hates everything MJF is and that he stands for, how he sounds, how he looks, that Cole has to share a building with MJF! So let’s not waste any more time. They’re gonna fight, so why not here and now in San Jose? MJF just needs to bring himself down the ramp, show Cole what kind of man he is, and Cole just whoops dat ass. What do you say, Brochacho? Well here comes MJF! At least, his music plays. Cole looks to the ramp, then he looks to the crowd, but where is the Wolf of Wrestling? The fans boo as we don’t get MJF after all.
MJF instead appears on the tron, sitting in his home by the fireplace, a glass of wine in hand. MJF takes a sip before he says, “Hey, Brochacho. I’ve done a lot of growing in this industry. I’ve been at this since I was a teenager. A full decade later, I can say I’ve learned a lot. Through immaturity, through loss, through gain, and as a multimillionaire at 28, there’s been a lot of gain. Then learning how to trust others, and then later learning the hard way, in this sport, there’s no such thing as trust. There’s a lot of jackals in professional wrestling, especially when you reach a top level at a young age. They are looking, hoping, waiting, watching, licking their chops to see if you’ll trip… so they can chew you up and spit you out.
“And after years of letting people in and paying the consequences, I told myself I’d never let it happen again. And then you came into my life, Adam. You tricked me into letting my guard down, and you made me pay for that, didn’t you? Yeah. You stabbed me in the back, leaving a void in me forever. Because of you, I can never trust, and I can never, ever, ever trust again. The man I am today is not my fault. The despicable actions and mayhem I create are not my fault, Adam. It’s yours. This void you made… It’s yours. And yet these unwashed heathens cheer you? Typical.
“So I’m gonna leave you with a void, Cole. I know you want nothing more than revenge. I know you want nothing more than to beat me within an inch of my life! Well it’s not gonna happen. You’ll never get me inside that ring. And for my amusement, I will keep dangling the carrot of sweet revenge right in front of your sunken little face. You will die with a void of unfulfilled vengeance, and for that empty, cold, sad, lonely little life… You can thank me later.” The fans boo as MJF takes another sip of wine.
Cole says okay, but please, never, ever forget, because Cole knows MJF can hear him, that Cole knows MJF better than anyone. And Cole means it when he says it: MJF can run, but he can’t hide. And Cole promises with every fiber of his being, when he gets his hands on MJF, he gives MJF the beating of a lifetime, and he makes MJF wish they had never met! The fans fire up for that one! When and where will Cole have his vengeance?
AEW shares footage from after WrestleDream.
Renee Paquette met with Chris Jericho backstage to interview him about his loss in the ROH World Championship match. Jericho says he felt vindicated. What? How? Jericho explains that this is the “Week of Chris Jericho.” He is costarring in the number one movie in America, Terrifier 3. Plus, Fozzy is on tour, selling out venues across the country. And tonight, he was going to become The Nueve by winning the ROH World Championship again, but as he knew would happen, Mark Briscoe cheated to win that match. Jericho is of course spinning things in his favor when it was his Branches that wanted to cheat so he could win.
Jericho says he wants a rematch, and soon. He anxiously awaits the reply, because Jericho is going to become a two-time ROH World Champion, just like Jay Briscoe. Thanks, Mark. But speaking of…
Backstage interview with Mark Briscoe.
This is live here tonight as Renee is with the ROH World Champion, and she asks his reaction to Jericho’s claims of Mark cheating. Mark says you know Jericho has been known to say a lot of dumb stuff. The world saw Mark beat Jericho’s ass up one side and down the other, drop him on his head, and pin him, 1-2-3 at WrestleDream. Now Jericho wants a rematch? Like Mark said, Jericho’s been known to say a lot of dumb stuff. And Mark can let that go in one ear and out the other. But what Mark can’t let slide is that Jericho let Mark’s brother’s name come out of his mouth again. For that, Jericho will pay! Jericho HAS his rematch, because Mark wants to get at him again!
But the thing is, they gotta crank it up! Mark wants to crank up the violence! This won’t be no regular match. Next week on Dynamite, Mark VS Jericho, LADDER WAR!! As for tonight… And in steps FTR! Mark says let the ass kicking commence! His boys are gonna get hold of Bill and Bad Apple in San Jose and do the damn thing! Mark fires up, FTR fires up with him, and they head out. Will the #TopGuys make sure to clip the Branches before Mark chops the Learning Tree down once and for all?
FTR VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!
The teams sort out and Dax Harwood starts against Keith. The fans rally for FTR as Dax and Keith tie up. Dax headlocks, Keith powers up and out, but Dax runs him over. Dax keeps moving, Keith drops down, but Dax blocks a hip toss, only for Keith to block Dax’s hip toss and LARIAT him down! The fans boo but Keith snarls. Keith runs up to BOOT Dax, then has Dax in a corner. Keith CHOPS, ROKCS and repeat! Dax CHOPS back! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Dax snap suplexes, then gets up to drop a leg, brother! Dax drags Keith up, tags Cash and whips Keith. Dax drops and Cash slingshot SHOULDER TACKLES Keith! Cover, TWO!
Cash stands Keith up to CHOP! And UPPERCUT! Cash has Keith in a corner, CHOPS him then UPPERCUTS again. But Keith scoops and SLAMS Cash! Then Keith drops a knee on Cash’s face! Tag to The Redwood and the fans are torn. Bill storms up on Cash, CLUBS him down, then CLUBS him again. Bill puts Cash in a corner, says, “You like to chop, huh?” Bill CHOPS Cash! The fans fire up, the ref reprimands, but Bill CHOPS again! Bill whips corner to corner, Cash goes up but can’t get over Bill! Bill carries Cash, Cash slips free to shove and UPPERCUT! Bill stays up but Cash DROPKICKS! Bill staggers, Dax ROCKS him!
Cash ROCKS Bill, Dax ROCKS Bill, repeat! Cash dodges as boot, and he LARIATS! Bill stays up, Keith runs in, but Cash CLOBBERS Keith! Cash keeps moving, but runs into a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill truly stands tall, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Bill paces while staying between FTR. Bill stands on Cash’s neck at the ropes! The ref counts, Bill lets off and apologizes, but that just lets Keith get a cheap shot! The ref then has to keep Dax back, and Bill drags Cash up. Bill UPPERCUTS Cash, brings him around, and CLUBS him down! Cash writhes but Bill paces again. Bill taunts Dax, puts Cash on ropes, and CHOKES him! The ref counts, Bill lets off to taunt Dax, but that again lets Keith get a cheap shot in! Bill drags Cash up, bumps him off buckles and Keith tags in. Keith digs his boot into Cash’s face, but lets off as the ref counts. Keith then snapmares Cash to rain down fists!
Keith lets off and Bill gloats. Keith stands Cash up to suplex, but Cash CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Keith CLOBBERS Cash! Tag to Bill, and Bill drags Cash around to drop a BIG elbow! And another BIG elbow! Cover, TWO! Cash toughs it out but Bill taunts Dax again. Bill mockingly chants “F T R! F T R!” then he drags Cash up. Tag to Keith and the Branches mug Cash. Keith drags Cash out, has a facelock, and he grinds Cash down. Cash endures, the fans rally up, and Cash powers up! Keith holds on, Dynamite returns to single picture, and the fans rally up. Keith knees Cash low, then suplexes, but Cash slips free!
Cash waistlocks to hit a BIG back suplex! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Cash and Keith crawl, reach out, hot tag to Bill! Bill runs up on Cash, but Cash dodges! Bill hits buckles! Keith runs up, Cash dodges, hot tag to Dax! Dax JABS, JABS and DECKS Keith! Dax whips Keith into Bill, then climbs up to fire fists on Bill! Keith storms up but Dax CROSSBODIES Keith! Dax rains fists down on Keith, but then sees Bill storming up. Dax ROCKS Bill first, then goes back to Keith. Dax whips, Keith reverses, but Dax reverses back to wrench and short arm LARIAT! Bill runs up, Dax wrenches him, short arm LARIAT! Bill stays up! Bill LARIATS Dax in return!
The fans fire up again, and Bill drags Dax to his feet. Bill reels Dax in, but Dax fights the lift! Cash is up top, he CROSSBODIES Bill! Cash then CLOBBERS Keith off the apron! FTR sets up, Bill staggers over, SHATTER- NO, Bill ROCKS Cash with a right hand! Bill CLUBS Dax, reels him back in, and lifts for a POWERBOMB! Bill SHOVES Cash right out of the ring! Tag to Keith and Keith climbs up! Bill sends Dax into the DIAMOND DUST! Bill adds a BOOT!! Cover, Cash leaps over the ref to break it! The fans are thunderous, but Bill TOSSES Cash out. Cash grabs Bill’s foot, drags him out by his long hair, but Bill shoves Cash.
Cash stops himself short, and dodges Bill to POST him! Cash reels Bill in, TORNADO DDT to the floor! Keith is stunned, he runs up on Cash but misses! Dax runs up on Keith, tag to Cash! Dax whips Keith, FTR drops, hurdles, drops again, SHATTER MACHINE!! Cover, FTR wins!
Winners: FTR, by pinfall
Bill is big and Keith is mean, but they’re not #TopGuys like Dax & Cash! Wait, we see La Faccion Ingobernables watching backstage. Rush, Dralistico y Beast Mortos like what they see, but will LFI look to use FTR as their road to the AEW Tag Team Championships?
Wait, FTR’s pals, The Outrunners, are here! San Jose fires up for Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd as they flex and strut their way down to join Dax & Cash. LFI is even more curious, but perhaps that’s just more targets for them to tear apart. The fans fire up as the #FTRunners do the Mega Power Handshake! They flex in celebration, but will Dax, Cash, Truth & Turbo soon be atop the tag division?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn.
Renee is with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Daddy Ass, and says after their win at WrestleDream, what is next? Billy says what’s next is the gym. They’re three of the best bodies in AEW. But Billy will let the boys fill her in on the rest while he gets the car ready. Bowens says that is right! They have a lot to say, because they are live on TBS, live in San Jose, where EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! Caster says that’s right! They got their bodies right, they got their minds right, and the Best Wrestler Alive is back with a proper jacket. The Acclaimed, the winningest tag team in AEW history, has another PPV win, as if it was a surprise.
But what is next is that they want more. And more, and more, and more! But in steps Montel Vontavious Porter with Shelton Benjamin. And MVP tells them that this is the reason they need to stop playing around. When they’re ready to be serious, give him a call. MVP hands them a card, but Bowens says they don’t need anything from MVP. MVP chuckles and has Shelton head out. The Gold Standard has a match with the Bad Child, will AEW start to feel the hurt?
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone w/ Kamille VS Queen Aminata!
The CEO wasn’t scheduled for a match on WrestleDream, but she still barged into the backstage area like she runs the place. She got on Aminata’s bad side and given Aminata’s win-loss record, she more than deserves this title shot. Will Mone pay for her arrogance with gold? Or will she deny the One True African Woman her crowning achievement?
The introductions are made, the teal belt is raised, and we see who has gold in the Golden State!
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. The fans chant for “C E O! C E O!” but Kamille takes a swipe. The ref reprimands but Mone CLUBS Aminata in the distraction. Mone throws Aminata down, does her dance, then drags her up. Mone scoops, Aminata slips free and waistlocks. Mone elbows out, runs, and jumps to arm-drag! But Aminata drags Mone down, steps over, and twerk attacks! The fans cheer, Mone pushes Aminata away, and Aminata does the CEO dance! Mone is furious, and she runs up, but Aminata slips around, scoops to an Electric Chair Lift, then shifts into a waistlock! But Mone wheelbarrows to victory roll, TWO!
Aminata has the victory roll, TWO! Mone gets up, Aminata dodges, and Aminata catches the crossbody! The fans fire up for the power of Aminata, and she says she is the one and only. FALL AWAY SLAM! The fans fire up while Mone flounders to the apron. Aminata lines up a shot, but Kamille already gets Mone away to safety. The fans boo but Aminata goes out, QUEEN’S CROWN HEADBUTT! Kamille wobbles, but Mone YANKS Aminata into steel steps! Mone runs up, METEORA into the steps! The fans are dueling while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref wants this back in the ring, so Mone drags Aminata in. Mone then storms up to cover, TWO! Mone rains down fists, pushes Aminata for a double wristlock cover, TWO! Aminata is tougher than that, but Mone paces. Aminata fires body shots! Mone knees low, then throws Aminata by her hair! The ref reprimands but Mone drags Aminata into a chinlock. Mone squeezes tight, leans on the hold, but Aminata endures. Mone shifts to a motorcycle stretch and Aminata endures. Aminata bridges, but Mone pulls on the arms! Mone keeps Aminata down, but Aminata turns to the side. Aminata fights up, but Mone shifts to a straitjacket stretch!
Aminata still fights up, and she RAMS Mone into buckles! And RAMS her again! Aminata is free, but runs into DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Mone then runs corner to corner, to SUNSET FLIP BUCKLE BOMB! Mone shouts out San Jose’s Role Model, then runs in to METEORA again! Cover, TWO! Aminata survives, Kamille is frustrated for Mone, and Mone storms around. Mone drags Aminata up, snapmares and runs, to METEORA again! Cover, TWO! Mone is frustrated now, but she storms up on Aminata at the ropes. Mone CHOKES Aminata, the ref counts, and Mone lets off. But now KAMILLE chokes Aminata!
The Brickhouse gets away with that, and Mone covers, TWO! Ghost pin! TWO!! Mone escapes and DROPKICKS Aminata down! Mone is feeling more confident now, and she clamps on a chinlock stretch. Aminata endures again, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Aminata fights up, but Mone grinds her back down. Mone goes back to the motorcycle stretch but the fans rally. Aminata fights up, fires body shots, but Mone shoves her. Aminata trips Mone, jackknife bridge! TWO and Mone turns Aminata around, but Aminata powers up! AIR- NO, Mone slips free to ROCK Aminata! Mone whips, Aminata reverses, but Mone goes up!
Aminata stops Deadly Nightshade this time, to AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, TWO!! Mone survives but Aminata stays calm. Kamille coaches Mone, and Mone runs up, but into an ELBOW! Aminata reels Mone in to sunset BOMB! Cover, TWO! Mone is up, but Aminata spins around, backslide! TWO, but Aminata FISHERMAN SCREW! Cover, TWO!! Mone survives and Kamille is growing worried. The fans rally, Aminata sits Mone up to body scissor and squeeze! Aminata even has the arms now, LEG HOOK FULL NELSON! Aminata pushes Mone down, folding her up! The fans rally as Mone endures, so Aminata rolls her around and around and around!
The fans fire up as Aminata keeps the rolling cradle going! Cover, TWO!! Mone survives but she staggers around. Aminata brings her in, snap suplex! Mone flounders to a corner, and the fans fire up with Aminata! Kamille coaches Mone but Aminata runs in, only for Mone to SWING KICK! And KNEE! Mone then goes up the corner, leaps, METEORA! Mone won’t stop there, she hooks Aminata up, BACKSTABBER!! Into the STATEMENT MAKER!! Aminata endures, reaches out, but she TAPS! Mone wins!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission (still AEW TBS Champion)
The CEO plays it off like it wasn’t that hard of a match, and she holds up both AEW TBS and NJPW Strong Women’s Championships to celebrate. Will anyone from around this wide world of wrestling be able to take those titles from Mone?
Backstage interview with Private Party.
Renee is with Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy, and says they have asked for this time, but then also asked for The Young Bucks to be here? Matthew & Nicholas Jackson walk in and say, “Long time no see.” Zay tells The Bucks, congratulations for winning at WrestleDream, it was all fair and square. But Zay knows they know that Private Party almost had them and almost became the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions. Matt asks what their point is, and Quen says they want one more shot at the titles. Matt says he’ll admit he was wrong, saying they were nothing but a “midcard act.” He was dead wrong.
Private Party did in fact take The Bucks to their limit, one of their toughest title defenses ever. Hell, Zay kicked out of an EVP Trigger. But that said, that does not work for them, brother. There is no rematch. In fact, that was Private Party’s last chance while The Bucks are champs. But hey, they’re top stars, great stuff. Keep it up. The Bucks have to go now, big match tonight, bye. But then in walks Stokely Hathaway, and he says it is crazy. Every time Stoke’s failed in AEW, he hasn’t had his peers, coworkers or even social media say that he deserves another opportunity. So if he hasn’t gotten that, why should Private Party?
Granted, they could’ve had him in their corner on Saturday, but they said no. Private Party has been here since the Obama Administration, and they have nothing to show for it. So next time they challenge for the tag titles and they lose, Private Party is done, finished, cooked! Plus, everyone knows Zay’s the singles star of the two. But that’s none of his business. Stokely leaves, having stirred the pot. Zay starts to think, if that’s what it takes… Will Private Party be all about business with #BigStoke?
The Elite meet up backstage.
The Rainmaker, The Scapegoat and The EVPs all stand together with their gold. Jack Perry says before The Elite handles business, they need to acknowledge that today is a special day. Not just to them personally, but to the history and the creation of AEW. Because today is Kenny Omega’s birthday. Perry knows Omega hasn’t been here in some time, and that Omega’s had about 20 feet of his “putrid intestines” removed to save his life after The Elite almost ended it… But The Elite just wanted to give him something special on his special day. It’s a fairly plain birthday cake that says “Happy Birthday Kenny!”
And then Perry dumps MEAT on it! Is that liver? Okada says, “Happy Birthday, b*tch!” Perry adds, “Get well soon. Kenny. Or die. I don’t really care.” The Elite leaves the mess they made behind, but will The Cleaner find a way to clean this all up one day?
Six Man Tag: The Elite VS The Conglomeration!
At WrestleDream, The Young Bucks defeated Private Party to hold onto their gold, but The Rainmaker rudely rejected Kyle O’Reilly for a chance at his Continental Championship. Now Kyle’s friends, Orange Cassidy & Rocky Romero, are backing him up against The Elite! Will the Violent Artist earn his shot at Kazuchika Okada’s title? Or will this just be an even harsher rejection than at WrestleDream?
The trios sort out and Kyle starts against Okada. The fans chant for “O-KA-DA! O-KA-DA!” as the two circle. They tie up, Okada powers Kyle to ropes, but he lets off slowly. Kyle ROCKS Okada first, no waiting on funny business. Okada hits back, Kyle fires another, and the fans rally as the shots keep going! Kyle gets the edge, he wrenches the arm, but Okada UPPERCUTS free. Kyle KNEES low, runs but into a BOOT! Okada drags Kyle up, tags in Nick, and Nick headlocks. Kyle endures the grind, chinbars his way out, and tags Cassidy. Kitchen sink knee from Kyle, basement dropkick from Cassidy. Knee drop from Kyle, SOMERSAULT SENTON from Cassidy!
The fans rally but Matt runs up, only for Cassidy to block his kick. Kyle sweeps the leg, they sit Matt up, PENALTY KICK! Cassidy runs to sit Matt back up, and DOUBLE BASMENT DROPKICKS hit! Okada runs up to fire forearms and elbows! Rocky gets in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to RANA Okada! Okada bails out, the fans fire up, and Kyle goes to the apron. Okada moves so the FLYING KNEE hits Nick! Cassidy DIVES onto Okada! Rocky FLYING RANAS Matt! The Conglomeration stands tall and the fans fire up while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cassidy puts Nick in the corner, tags Kyle, and Kyle climbs up to rain down fists! Kyle goes to TEN, then tags Rocky! Rocky climbs up, he rains down TEN fists! Then tag to Cassidy, and he fires up to hop up, and rains down ONE! That’s 21 just for Nick! But Okada BOOTS Cassidy and Nick DECKS Kyle and Rocky! Nick tags Matt, then whips Cassidy. Cassidy reverses but Nick goes up and over. Matt runs in to ROCK Cassidy, Nick SHINING WIZARDS! The Bucks coordinate, ASSISTED SHINING WIZARD, then another SHINING WIZARD! Cover, but Kyle & Rocky break it! Okada storms back in to CLUB Rocky.
The Elite all scoop and SLAM The Conglomeration! Then The Elite go to the apron, and they TRIPLE SLINGSHOT SENTON! Then they all pose together! San Jose cheers The Bucks, and Matt scoops Cassidy to BACKBREAKER! Nick tags in, to SLINGSHOT LEG DROP! Nick tags Okada, and Okada drags Cassidy up. Okada bumps Cassidy off buckles, whips him corner to corner, then runs in to ELBOW! Cassidy staggers, falls over, and Okada stares down with Kyle. Okada goes back to Cassidy, drags him up, and tags in Matt. Matt CLAWS Cassidy’s back, then he DECKS Cassidy! Matt drags Cassidy up to bump him off Nick’s boots!
Tag to Nick, The Bucks mug Cassidy, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans duel as The Bucks double whip Cassidy. Cassidy ducks Nick, hooks him, and swings around to use Nick as a shield! Cassidy then BOOTS Matt away, and swings Nick again, DOUBLE LARIAT on Matt using Nick’s arm! Cassidy then BACKDROPS Nick away, Nick tags Okada! Okada reels Cassidy in, taunts Kyle, but Cassidy comes back to sunset flip! Okada flails, but he flips Cassidy off! So Cassidy just hot tags Kyle! Kyle dodges Okada to fire off forearms! Okada swings, misses, and Kyle fires off a strike fest! Kyle runs, blocks a boot, and he fires off another string of strikes!
Kyle sweeps the leg, but Matt runs up to kick low. Matt runs, but Kyle follows to KNEE him down! Nick runs up, Kyle blocks a kick to then give a kick! Nick hobbles but he avoids the leg sweep. Kyle blocks another kick and swings it into Matt! Kyle ROCKS Nick, runs, but into a SUPERKICK! Kyle rebounds to LARIAT! Okada rises up, ripcords, but Kyle BOOTS Okada first! GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Okada stays up, but Matt MACHO ELBOWS Kyle down!! Okada covers, TWO!! Kyle survives and the fans rally up! Okada brings Kyle up, whips him tot he corner, and then runs up, ELBOW ENZIGIRI COMBO!
Okada lifts Kyle for a REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Cover, but Rocky breaks it! Rocky ROCKS Nick, Matt ROCKS Rocky! Matt whips Rocky, mocks the Sting howl, then runs up, only for Rocky to dodge! That splash hits buckles, and Rocky LARITS Nick! And LARIATS Matt! Repeat! But Matt dodges, only for Rocky to DOUBLE LARIAT The Bucks! Okada runs up, Rocky dodges to UPPERCUT! Rocky cravats, SLICED- NO! Okada stops the bread to hit a TOMBSTONE! Tag to Nick, he tags Matt, and The Bucks bring up Kyle. They double whip, to DOUBLE ELBOW! Double kip up, and then they pump up the Reeboks!
The fans are torn, but Kyle stands. Kyle sees The Bucks are busy pumping, so he tags in Cassidy! The fans cheer as Cassidy goes up the corner. The Bucks see that, run up, but Cassidy leaps over. Cassidy DECKS Okada, dodges The Bucks again, and he DOUBLE RANAS! The fans fire up but Okada returns. Cassidy dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Okada stops the DDT! Okada suplexes, into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Cassidy holds on so Kyle can AX & SMASH! Then the HIGH LOW ATTACK! But The Bucks SUPERKICK Kyle & Cassidy! Rocky runs in, dodges Matt, SLICED BREAD for Nick! Matt feints a superkick to DDT Rocky!
Cassidy is back, he tilt-o-whirl DDTS Matt! The fans fire up with Cassidy as he throws off the elbow pad! Cassidy aims at Matt, but WHEELER YUTA is here!? BUSAIKU KNEE!!!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by disqualification
The Decoder already betrayed one former mentor, so why not come back to hurt this one? The fans boo as Yuta stomps away on Cassidy, and then here comes Claudio Castagnoli and Pac! The Swiss Superman BOOTS Rocky, and The Bastard BOOTS Kyle! The Elite has no idea what to make of this, other than they technically just lost. Pac also has a briefcase in hand? Pac stomps Kyle over and over, then CHOKES him with the case! Now Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir appear, and the fans boo as hard as they possibly can. Moxley drags Cassidy up, DECKS him, and The BCC just keeps stomping away on Cassidy!
Wait, TOP FLIGHT rushes out here! Dante Martin springboards to CANNONBALL Claudio! Action Andretti goes after Pac, Darius Martin is after Yuta, but Marina steps in. Claudio TOSSES Dante, Pac swings on Action but Action dodges! Action handsprings, but into Moxley’s FOREARM! Darius stomps Yuta, but he sees his team go down! Darius jumps on Moxley but Moxley SLINGS Darius off! Darius stands up, only for Marina to ROUNDHOUSE him back down! Claudio puts Dante back in, and Marina stands Darius up for MOTHER’S MILK! Then Marina feeds Darius to the DEATH RIDER!!
Kyle rises up but Yuta BOOTS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The Elite don’t seem to care anymore, they’re almost amused by this. But then The Dark Order rushes out here! Reynolds asks what the hell The Elite is doing before he, John Silver & Evil Uno rush to the ring! The fans fire up but as The Dark Order takes the fight to The BCC, but the numbers still don’t seem to be working. Marina YANKS Reynolds out of the ring to beat him down, Pac CLOBBERS Silver with the briefcase, and Claudio brawls with Uno. Uno kicks and ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio shoves him into Moxley’s SLEEPER!
Jack Perry joins The Elite and says they should just go now. The Elite leaves, not caring that Moxley and his crew are running roughshod over their company! Yuta whips Rocky into steel steps! Claudio takes Reynolds’ own belt away so that he and Marina can wrap it around Reynolds’ neck, against a corner post! Marina chokes Reynolds out! And then Yuta & Claudio bring steel steps over! Moxley has a mic to say, “Make no mistake about it. If you are involved in any way, shape or form with AEW, you are under attack!” Yuta & Claudio then RAM the steps into Reynolds!
Moxley says if you didn’t like Saturday night, if you don’t like this, understand that this is just the cost of doing business. The fans boo as three whole trios have been left wrecked by just five people. The BCC then leave through the crowd, and only now does Christopher Daniels, along with Daniel Garcia & Private Party, make it out here. They check on the nine battered men, just what more will The Maniac do?
Backstage interview with The Elite.
Alicia Atout catches up with Okada, Perry & The Bucks, and she asks The EVPs why they just let that all happen. Matt says no, none of that is their business. But Daniel Garcia & Private Party have returned backstage, and Red Death will not let The Bucks turn a blind eye to that. They are letting AEW go down in flames? They built this place five years ago but this is how they’re gonna act now? Perry gets in Garcia’s face, the two butt heads, but The EVPs and Private Party have everyone stand down. Perry says let’s get out of here, and The Elite leaves. Garcia says yeah, go ahead, walk away. How about The EVPs do their jobs?
The Elite don’t seem to care about All Elite, but Garcia says with how things are going crazy right now, he’s got Private Party’s back if they’ve got his. They say deal. Is AEW about to be like the Wild West where only the strong survive?
Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Lio Rush w/ Leila Grey!
The Gold Standard & Montel Vontavious Porter may not have gotten Swerve Strickland on their side, but they’ve already spotted The Bad Child as a prospect. Will Shelton show Lio what he could have if he joins up? Or will Lio prove he can still be the Man of the Hour with Top Flight Airlines?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. Lio and Shelton feel things out, then Shelton just SHOVES Lio down! Shelton smirks while Lio scowls. Lio stands back up, then slips around to waistlock. Shelton pries the hold open, whips Lio away, but Lio wheelbarrows. Shelton shoves him away, Lio redirects, but Shelton catches him! Shelton puts Lio in a corner, Lio BOOTS him away then goes up and over. Lio kicks, Shelton blocks and flips Lio, but Lio lands on his feet! Shelton still CLOBBERS Lio! The fans fire up as Lio goes to a corner. MVP says keep on him, and Shelton runs in to LARIAT!
Shelton brings Lio up, wihps corner to corner, but Lio slides ot a stop! Lio goes Matrix, handsprings then kicks, kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Lio eggs Shelton on, Shelton runs up but Lio DUMPS him out! Lio handspring kicks Shelton off the apron, then builds speed. Lio DIVES, into a STEP-UP KNEE! The fans fire up and Shelton hurries back into the ring. Shelton TOSSES Lio out hard, then pursues. Shelton stands Lio up, clinches, and OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEXES Lio onto the floor! The fans fire up while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Shelton stalks Lio but the ref wants this in the ring. Shelton leaves Lio behind, MVP tells Lio he could still join up, and a ring count starts. Lio rises at 5 of 10, drags himself into the ring, but Shelton is right on him! Shelton puts Lio in a corner, ROCKS him with forearms, and Lio staggers away. Shelton follows Lio to another corner, and Lio fires a forearm! Shelton knees low, ROCKS Lio, then whips him corner to corner hard! Lio tumbles out through the ropes! Leila checks on Lio but MVP says this is what he was talking about. Leila tells MVP to back off, and the ref checks on Lio. Lio is somehow still in this, so the ring count begins.
Lio stirs at 5 of 10, Leila coaches him up, and MVP keeps taunting him. Lio drags himself up at 8, hobbles over and rolls in at 9! Shelton looms over Lio, kneels down to talk some smack, then rains down fists! The ref reprimands about closed fists, and Lio sputters to ropes. Shelton stands Lio up but Lio fires body shots! Lio puts up a fight as Dynamite goes to break.
Dynamite returns again and Shelton TOSSES Lio back into the ring. Lio crawls to a corner, Shelton storms up, and Shelton drags Lio up. Lio fights back but Shelton ROCKS him! The fans rally as Shelton has Lio back in a corner. Lio fires forearms again, but MVP says that’s nothing! Shelton ROCKS Lio! Lio staggers to ropes, flounders into a corner, and Shelton whips him corner to corner. Shelton runs up, but Lio dodges! Shelton stops short of hitting buckles, and he whips Lio, but Lio uses that to hit RUSH HOUR! Shelton staggers from the stunner, and Lio whips Shelton. Shelton reverses but Lio goes up! But Shelton stops the rana!
Shelton throws Lio away, but Lio lands out to fire off fast hands! Lio ROCKS Shelton, runs, redirects, and redirects, to then bypass Shelton! Shelton tumbles out of the ring, Lio DIVES onto him! The fans fire up and Lio keeps moving, another DIVE! Shelton is sent into railing! The fans fire up with Lio and Lio hurries to bring Shelton up. Shelton puts Lio in the ring first, but Lio comes back to CUTTER! Both men are down but Lio goes to a corner! MVP is furious but Lio goes up to the top! FINAL HOUR, but Shelton moves! Lio rolls through, blocks a kick, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Shelton grins as he has Lio down again.
MVP says stop playing with your food, Shelton. Shelton hauls Lio up, clinches, and hits PAY- NO, Lio sunset flips! Shelton rolls through, stacks, but Lio rolls through tro roll up, and BASEMENT ENZIGIRI! Lio keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl, and around and around and around, DEJA VU DDT! Cover, TWO!! MVP is relieved but Lio grows frustrated. Lio says it is time! Lio goes up the corner, but Shelton is right up there in an instant! SUPER ARM-DRAG! MVP says easy W, now stop playing! Shelton stalks Lio, waits on Lio to stand, and then GERMAN SUPLEXES! Lio goes flying away! Shelton grins, and he stalks Lio again.
MVP taunts Lio at the ropes, and Shelton waistlocks! Lio fires elbows to fight the throw, but Shelton CLUBS him! And GERMAN SUPLEXES! Lio flops off his face, staggers to his feet, SUPERKICK from Shelton! Shelton drags Lio back up, whips him to ropes, then pops him up, PAYDIRT!! Lio sputters, flounders, but Shelton isn’t done! POWERSLAM!! Cover, Shelton wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall
MVP said Shelton was playing with his food, and he certainly was, like a cat with a mouse. Shelton wins big for his AEW debut, and MVP leaves his card with Lio. MVP then grabs a mic to say, “Lio Rush, in his youthful exuberance, opened up his mouth. My business partner and colleague, Shelton Benjamin, with his wisdom and world class skill, was kind enough to close it. Good try, Lio, good try. Now I could make some incredibly eloquent statement about what happens next, but I don’t think I can make a better statement than the one that was already made by Shelton Benjamin!” The fans do cheer that.
MVP says he will say this: Swerve, we know you’re watching. And MVP wants Swerve to know he should reconsider his position, because this is his future. The fans chant, “Swerve’s House!” but MVP says how can it be Swerve’s House, when Swerve’s house got burned down!? MVP believes that Swerve should finish the conversation they started at WrestleDream. Swerve VS The Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin! When and where will they look to handle this “business?”
Darby Allin speaks.
The Relentless One says, “Hey yo, what up? It’s Darby Allin. Tony Hawk couldn’t be here today because he’s playing Pro-Grandpa. Last time I was at this ramp, I had a broken-ass foot, and I couldn’t do anything, but we got a sick photo from it: Tony inverting my broken foot. And uh, speaking of this photo, signed 8-by-10s by myself and Tony Hawk go on sale, ShopAEW.com, all proceeds go to the Skatepark Project, which builds skateparks in underdeveloped areas. So if you wanna support the cause, buy an 8-by-10 signed by me and Tony today, ShopAEW.com. Rock ‘n’ roll.”
Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland.
Renee is now with The Realest, as well as Prince Nana, and brings up the challenge issued by MVP & Shelton Benjamin. What is Swerve’s response? Swerve chuckles and says for the legends and superstars that those two are, their personalities sure are a couple mids. His minimum is their maximum. But yeah, he saw what Shelton did to Lio out there. Impressive. But that’s how he saw things going. If they wanna come at the big dog here in AEW, that is smart, it’s what Swerve would’ve done. So, the answer to the challenge is yes! Anywhere, any way, any how, if they make it happen, Swerve will be there.
Swerve knows Shelton broke collegiate records that still stand to this day. But how many of those records were bones? Swerve has records he can count, too. They’re coming at the most dangerous man in AEW, so don’t fail, because Swerve won’t. San Jose, if you’re feeling that, give him a whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The challenge has been accepted, when and where will it go down?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us to this very special press conference. With that in mind, please welcome… The Don Callis Family. The fans boo as Don Callis leads the way for Lance Archer, and… Brian Cage? The Machine became ROH World Television Champion at WrestleDream, but when did he join up with Callis? These heavies follow Callis to the ring, and there is already a podium waiting. Callis says, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have something important to say. With all the news about The Don Callis Family, I thought that we should have a press conference. And then I realized, there are no real journalists in pro-wrestling, so I might as well answer all the questions myself.”
The fans boo but Callis says a couple weeks ago, he conducted one of the greatest trades in all of sports when he acquired the Murderhawk Monster. And to his right, “a man who righted a wrong and brought that title back to the Don Callis Family.” And when Callis got a taste of those tag titles in New York at Grand Slam, Callis realized that he needs them! Callis will take them, and who better to do that than these two big men right here? But there’s more good news coming! The two men that have been trending all week, that we’ve all been talking about, ladies and gentlemen, welcome Kyle BAHGAWD Fletcher, and the NEW International Champion, Konosuke Takeshita!
The fans boo as the traitorous Aussie Arrow and the arrogant Alpha both walk out here to join the rest of the Don Callis Family. Callis continues by saying he and The Alpha will be TRUE International Champions, because they are gonna go to every corner of the globe to defend this title! Tell ’em, Take! Konosuke tells us in Japanese that he won! And now that he has this title, he will be going all around the world, but especially to his homeland of Japan. Then in English, he translates that, and says all wrestlers better listen up. “If you want this belt, COME ON, TAKE IT!!”
Callis says last but not least, he’d like to ask for all of us to show decorum, because it has been a very difficult weak for Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher has a lot on his mind, a lot of emotions, so please, be quiet and show him respect. The fans boo instead. Kyle goes to the podium, Callis hugs it out with him, and Kyle speaks. “All I have heard… is ‘Why, Kyle, why?’ But that’s the problem! Everyone wants to talk about WILL OSPREAY, when The Don Callis Family is having its biggest night in history! You people wanna know why I did what I did?! Too bad!” Callis says the people are too ignorant, they won’t shut up, so they won’t get an answer!
But all anyone needs to know is that this version of The Don Callis Family is about one thing, here’s your headline! “The Don Callis Family has never been stronger than today!” Callis hugs Kyle again, and this lineup is most certainly four of the most fearsome and impressive men in AEW. Will they be the most powerful faction in this or any other generation?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Renee is with the AEW Women’s World Champion and commends her incredible showing at WrestleDream. Mariah says, “Oh really? Then explain to me why everyone is praising Willow when she got her ass beat. Explain to me why I did a press conference, and all these ‘journalists’ couldn’t ask a single question, they were just drooling with their hands in their pants?! Explain to me why the woman I killed just got the cover of a magazine? Explain to me why Mina is still in Japan, why I still haven’t had my celebration, and why I am on top of the world and not a single woman can touch me?”
Mariah asks where the competition went. Britt Baker has strep throat, Thunder Rosa is in the UK, what does Christopher Daniels even do here? Bring Mariah someone! Someone from Japan, Mexico, HELLO?! Does anyone here wanna work? She will rip your head off! AEW is where the best wrestle? No. AEW is where the best are afraid of The Glamour. But then Anna Jay storms right in! The Star of the Show says if Mariah wants to go, let’s go! Daniels hurries in to stop this, but Mariah gets up in Anna’s face. Mariah says come on then and smooshes Anna’s cheeks. Anna takes a swing, Mariah ducks, so the SLAP hits Daniels!
Anna apologizes, but Mariah makes fun of her, while running away. Daniels says he understands, it’s fine. But will The Fallen Angel show Mariah just what his Interim EVP powers can do when he puts her up against The Queenslayer?
BREAKING NEWS for October 30th!
The first ever Fright Night Dynamite is going down in Cleveland, Ohio! And since Swerve accepted the challenge, MVP has made it official! Swerve VS Shelton will go down in The Land, will it be the most dangerous or the most excellent that proves they’re the best?
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Renee is with The King of Flight and notes his unfortunate loss in the International Championship match on Saturday. Does he think he was a little too laser focused on Ospreay for that match? Ricochet chuckles and says no, credit where credit is due, because he does not remember ever being hit as hard by someone as he was by Takeshita. Ricochet feels that at the same time, everyone saw what happened. Despite what Callis says, Takeshita did not beat Ospreay and Ricochet on the same night, he just beat Ospreay. Ricochet has not been pinned since setting foot in AEW. And Ricochet came here with one goal in mind, and that is becoming champion.
Takeshita has screwed Ricochet out of that twice now. On the flipside, Callis says Takeshita is the Best in the World? Where Ricochet’s from, you don’t just call yourself that, you show it in the ring. Your matches dictate how good you are. To be the best, you don’t need people behind you, you don’t need lackeys doing your dirty work. Your matches dictate how good you are. So that said, Ricochet will be at Collision this Saturday. He puts out the challenge to Takeshita or anyone else, if they wanna see what he can do, show up on Collision, too. Ricochet will show you and the world just why he is #OuttaThisWorld.
Something is happening backstage!
Oh no, The BCC is at it again! They’re in another brawl with The Dark Order and Top Flight! Marina is SQUEEZING Darius’ head with her legs while Dante, Uno, Silver & Reynolds fight with Moxley and the others! Wait, Action has gone up onto a truss! Action SUPER CROSSBODIES them all down! But Pac gets up, aims with that briefcase, and he CLOBBERS Action with it! The brawling continues, but Marina KNEES Reynolds! Moxley and Silver throw hands, Claudio TOSSES Reynolds, and The BCC stands tall again. They hop in the truck again and drive off, all before Silver can catch them!
Uno rises up and he shouts at the camera! He knows BCC will see this, so if they wanna take Dark Order’s livelihoods away? BCC wants to take food off their plate? BCC wants to fight, and then claim they’re the bosses now? NO! Dark Order has been here since day one! Dark Order works for AEW! So whether it’s Saturday, Wednesday, in parking lots, if BCC wants to fight, Dark Order will give it to you! The camera then passes to Dante, and he tells BCC that if they wanna act like they own AEW, fine! So be it! But you’ll have to go through teams like Top Flight! Teams that are sick of this! Teams that actually wanna make a good change here!
Action says to strap on the gold extra tight! Because Top Flight is coming to snatch it all away on Collision! Trios are closing in, has The BCC put themselves in a no-win situation?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
Private Party want to prove they’re still deserving of the AEW World Tag Team Championships, so they’re going to start the climb back up! But that leads them right into MXM Collection, who want to rebound after they and Rico Constantino were humiliated by The Acclaimed! Will Mansoor & Mason Madden strut right past Quen & Zay? Or will Private Party get their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS by any means necessary?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Saturday!
Collision back, still at its regular time, and La Faccion Ingobernable is in action as Rush & Beast Mortos take on The Outrunner! Will these two bulls stampede all over the Youngest Men Alive? Then, it’s a battle of former ROH World Television Champions as Kyle Fletcher finally has his rematch with Atlantis Jr. Will the Protostar prove he’s right where he belongs with The Don Callis Family?
Not only that, but Battle of the Belts is back! The twelfth edition of Battle of the Belts will feature a Title Eliminator between Mariah May and Anna Jay. Can The Star of the Show earn a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship? Or was her time in Japan still not enough to reach that level?
Jay White w/ The Bang Bang Gang VS Christian Cage w/ The Patriarchy!
The Switchblade settled the score with Hangman Page at WrestleDream, that was priority one. But now, here is priority two! Captain Charisma may be the self-proclaimed reigning, defending, undisputed next AEW World Champion, but he’s the reason The Bang Bang Gang no longer has the AEW World Trios Championships. Will White avenge Austin, Colten & Juice? Or will no one stop Christian’s ascension to the top of the mountain?
The bell rings and the fans rally up with Bullet Club Gold. White and Christian hear the fans chanting, “GUNS UP! GUNS UP!” White storms up but Christian bails out. The fans boo, but Christian regroups with Nick & Shayna Wayne. White stays patient, he’s no stranger to stall tactics. Christian returns and circles with White. The fans rally up, they tie up, and White pushes Christian back. Christian pulls hair to put White in a corner, but White returns the favor! The ref reprimands and counts, White lets go, and Christian CHOPS! White UPPERCUTS Christian down! The fans fire up and Juice tauntingly waves hi to Christian.
White drags Christian up, UPPERCUTS him down again, and then looms over him. White brings Christian up, bumps him off buckles, then stomps a mudhole. White fires hands, the ref counts, but White stops. White pushes Christian around, whips him hard into buckles, and the fans fire up as Christian falls back. White drags Christian around, steps through the legs, and then has the DEATHLOCK! White shifts around, grabs at Christian’s hair, but the ref reprimands. White lets go of the hair, and he bridges back to MUTA LOCK! Christian endures, fights around, reaches out, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The ref counts, White releases the hold, and Christian rolls to the apron. The ref and White argue about fishhooking and hair pulling, but Nick is being sneaky with a chair! At least he thinks he is, as Juice & Colten stop him! Juice takes the chair, threatens Nick, but that gets them caught by the ref! White defends the innocence of the Bang Bang Gang, but too late! The ref EJECTS them! The fans boo while Nick & Shayna laugh at Juice. Juice stomps the chair, kicks it away, and tells Nick off. The fans chant, “REF, YOU SUCK!” White wants to step outside, but the ref stops him. Nick dares White to do it, but Colten CLOBBERS Nick!
Colten drags Nick up to THROW him into railing! The fans cheer as Juice & Colten both drag “Christian’s son” away! Mother Shayna freaks out, but White goes back for Papa Christian, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
White finds Christian on the apron, but Christian trips him and drags him out! White ROCKS Christian first, kicks low, and then reels him in, APRON GOURD BUSTER! Christian sputters, White storms in, and White storms up in a corner. White stands Christian up, then climbs up to rain down fists! The ref counts, but Christian DUMPS White out to the floor! Christian storms out to bring White up, and he whips him into railing! Christian DUMPS White into the timekeeper’s area, then storms around the way. Christian sends White into more railing! Christian brings White back to ringside, then throws him into more railing!
Christian refreshes the count, tells San Jose to shove it, then drags White back up. Christian puts White in the ring, stalks him, and brings him up. Christian turns White for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! White toughs it out, but Christian rains down fists! Christian CHOKES White, then stands over him. Christian flexes, fans give thumbs down, but White snatches Christian to a cradle! TWO! Christian escapes and ELBOWS White down! Christian paces around before he brings White up. Christian puts White on ropes, soaks up heat from the fans, then stands on White to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Christian steps off, and he CLUBS White on the back.
Christian brings White up but White shoves him away. White goes to ropes, goes to a corner, but Christian stomps him down. Christian throws down hands, Dynamite returns to single picture, and White kicks low! White fires hands in return, backs Christian down, but Christian DOUBLE CHOPS him down! Christian kneels on White to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Christian steps off, and Christian mocks the fans. The fans boo but Christian brings White around to snapmare. Christian fishhooks White, then shifts to a neck wrench. Christian leans on the hold, the fans rally up, and White fights around.
White fights with body shots and haymakers, but Christian knees low. Christian TOSSES White out, and the fans boo, but Christian goes out to fetch White. Christian brings White around the way, whips, but White reverses! Christian crashes into the steel steps and tumbles right over! Both men are down on the outside, so the ref starts a ring count. The count passes 5 of 10 before White drags himself up. White and Christian rise at 8, and both men slide in at 9! The fans cheer as the two men glare. They crawl to each other, and they start throwing hands! The fans rally behind White, and he ROCKS Christian!
White ROCKS Christian, but Christian kicks low! Christian runs, into a BACKDROP! The fans fire up with Christian, White storms up on him in a corner, and pokes him in the eyes! White puts Christian’s turtleneck up over his face, and then climbs onto the corner. White rains down fists, and he goes all the way to TEN! Then he adds another five! The fans fire up as White CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Christian gets free of his turtleneck, but White whips him. Christian reverses but White slides to a stop! White slips around, wrench and DDT! Cover, TWO!! Christian survives and White is a bit surprised.
The fans rally as White watches Christian. White waistlocks, deadlifts, but Christian fights with elbows. White still holds on, so Christian fires more! Christian runs to ropes to HOTSHOT White away! Christian then goes to the apron, drags White out to join him, and dragon sleepers, REVERSE DDT on the apron! Christian slides back in, soaks up the heat, and he stands White back up. Christian RAMS White into buckles, then goes up the corner. White slowly rises, Christian brings White in, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! White survives and Christian grows frustrated. Christian goes back to a corner, and he wants to go Rated R!
White rises, but then who is that?! Kip Sabian distracts Christian! Christian still runs up on White, but White sends him into buckles! Kip slips away, but wait, is that Hangman Page!? He lurks, Christian goes up, FLYING SUNSET! But White sits on it! TWO!! Christian gets free, but White has the legs! White puts Christian under ropes, to ROPE GUILLOTINE! Christian sputters, White puts him up and bumps him off buckles! And again, and again, and again! White takes a swing but Christian ducks it to HOTSHOT White! Christian huffs ‘n’ puffs into the ring, runs up, but White clinches! URENAGE!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up while both men are down! White rises, says GUNS UP, and he clinches again! BLADE- NO, Christian CLAWS the eyes! Chicken wings, for KILLSWITCH!! Cover, TWO?!?! White survives and no one can believe it! Christian is frustrated but he starts slapping White around. White SLAPS back! White then clinches, FLATLINER, and a shift around. Christian grabs at the ropes, White waistlocks, and the rf counts. Christian fires elbows, but White gets under to SAIDO!! Christian flounders away, White runs up to UPPERCUT! And CORNER HALF HATCH! Christian sputters and White roars!
The fans fire up as White puts Christian up top! White climbs up after him, but Christian fires body shots! Christian SHOVES White down, adjusts position, and he DIVING HEADBUTTS! Cover, TWO!! White survives but Christian loads up in the corner again. Christian loads up, but Kip tries another distraction! The ref stops Mr. Superbad, and Christian runs up, only to get caught again! But now Hangman loads up! BUCKSHOT on White!! The Blackhat gets away with it, Christian takes the cover! Christian wins!!
Winner: Christian Cage, by pinfall
Kip tried to screw Christian, but he only helped Hangman screw White! Captain Charisma moves on towards the world championship, but will he be able to cash in that contract with Jon Moxley holding onto the belt? As for White, he is actually laughing about this? Is he already plotting the revenge he’ll get on Hangman?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here as follow-up to WrestleDream with some intriguing developments in this Blackpool Combat Club story. They most certainly came outta nowhere during the Six Man Tag, though that was good continuity of Yuta going after Orange Cassidy. The Elite not caring was perhaps the most interesting part, given that they were only just recently talking about being the force for the “greater good” in AEW. Though maybe that was more Jack Perry than the rest. The Elite did have a good promo bashing Kenny Omega for his birthday, it definitely keeps us thinking Omega will be coming back for revenge on all of them in the future.
But back to the BCC, them wreaking havoc has compelled other trios to step up, and some to even form. Garcia & Private Party wanting after The Elite is good stuff, as yet another Six Man Tag win over The Bucks could compel yet another title match. Though, I still wish Private Party had just won at WrestleDream. Stokely had a good promo with Private Party, but I also wish he’d just bring out a team he’s managing to go after Private Party. BCC brawling with Dark Order and Top Flight in the ring and backstage was all good stuff, and I feel like we should get a big Trios Championship match for Battle of the Belts this Saturday, even if it is rather sudden.
Side note: Moxley bringing up the giant roster AEW has amassed, I feel like this is the 100th time AEW does a work shoot promo to reference that. Ospreay did it in a joking manner not too long ago, and it makes me think Tony Khan has made the roster so bloated just so he can write story angles around it. Even if he didn’t mean for it to go this way, it’s gone this way, and it’s rather sad. They should’ve just done a brand split akin to what WWE has right as Collision first got going. And even though CM Punk didn’t stick around much longer after Collision got started, they could’ve still done it to help give more time to more people.
I was also hoping that the briefcase would be opened to reveal some new look for the AEW World Championship that makes it more Moxley themed. I still can’t be sure if there’s going to be a “benefactor” behind Moxley’s behavior or not, because how else is he claiming he and the BCC run things now? Something else a bit sudden is Mark Briscoe and Chris Jericho having a rematch for the ROH World Championship. I really hope they didn’t give Mark the win on PPV just so Jericho can win on television. Ladder War is going to be awesome all the same, but after FTR dealt with Bill & Keith, I hope they have Mark’s back so Mark can retain the title.
I appreciated them upgrading Mone VS Aminata to a TBS Championship match, that helped make the match feel important. Mone still won, of course, but they didn’t even bring out Kris Statlander to challenge Kamille to a match. Good promo from Mariah and Anna to set up their match for Saturday, I hope Anna at least wins the Eliminator so they can put that title match on like Fright Night Dynamite or something. Speaking of Fright Night, Swerve VS Shelton will be awesome. Shelton VS Lio was a great match and a great win for Shelton, and while the phrase “Hurt Syndicate” is clear on Shelton’s trunks, I hope MVP introduces that name so we can actually call them that.
And in which case, I wonder if they kept the Acclaimed together through WrestleDream so that the break-up could help enhance The Hurt Syndicate. While Billy was out of the room, and while Bowens outright rejected the offer, Caster seemed to linger. He wants to be the Best Wrestler Alive, which cuts out Bowens because otherwise he’d be saying they’re the Best Tag Team Alive, or Best Wrestlers Alive, plural. Caster could turn on Bowens, join up with Hurt Syndicate, and either be a teammate with Shelton or go for singles gold. And once Bobby Lashley shows up, then things will really take off for the faction.
Great promo segment with Cole and MJF to put things in perspective now that they’ve both turned. MJF being the Heel again does complicate where this feud left off, but professional wrestling is notorious for this kind of stuff. The motivations of why Cole became “The Devil of AEW” no longer matter, since MJF went back to his old ways. We just have to move on from that and enjoy what this take on the story will give us. For one, you can bet MJF will constantly be a distraction during Cole’s matches, maybe even ambush him here and there, until somehow, someway, Cole catches him and gets to throw hands.
Very good press conference promo from The Don Callis Family. A little surprised and disappointed they just put Brian Cage with The Don Callis Family without anything anywhere. Makes me wonder what the “Cage of Agony” is going to do if Cage isn’t with them now. Wouldn’t mind if Gates of Agony became Stokely’s team but that almost seems like a downgrade from when they had Prince Nana. Anyway, Cage & Archer definitely make for a great duo, but then I guess that means The Righteous are out of luck in feuding with The House of Black… Tony Khan really doesn’t care about his lower-level faction feuds, does he?
But in the end, of course we get little to nothing from Fletcher, but it feels like the usual thing of jealousy, envy, feeling betrayed, and Ospreay not wanting to resort to the screwdriver against The Bucks being what cost them the tag titles. Ricochet had a good promo to put out the open challenge, I wouldn’t be surprised if Don Callis sent Archer out there to try and crush Ricochet before Ricochet can challenge for the International Championship again. And then great main event with White VS Christian. The story was there, good interactions from Juice & Colten with Nick, but I feel like Kip and Hangman botched their spot. Kip was to distract, Hangman was to attack, but something wasn’t timed right so they kinda had to stretch the match and set the moment up again.
Christian winning for it was still a good move, because of course Hangman wasn’t done with White. Hangman and White will continue to feud while Christian and his Patriarchy work on a game plan for cashing in the contract. Unfortunate timing for Luchasaurus to be out with pneumonia, and we all wish him a speedy recovery. That said, Christian only has Nick Wayne as his backup, that’s not enough for fighting The BCC when The BCC just beat NINE people down with ease. Christian will really have to be the most opportunistic and conniving he’s ever been if he even wants to come close to taking that title off Moxley. Because I don’t think AEW does their version of an MITB contract only for it to fail the very first time.

Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?

Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.

Caster raises the ingobernable fist, Rush is moderately amused, but then Caster sucker punches him! Rush scowls and DECKS Caster! Rush goes out to grab his favorite green cable! Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!
But then Rush SLINGS Caster to the floor! Billy is upset but the ref wants him to stay back. Billy tries to point out the shenanigans, but Collision goes picture in picture.
The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg. Rush drags Caster up, CHOPS him then ROCKS him, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Mortos and Mortos SMACKS Caster! Cover, TWO! Caster toughs it out but Mortos NECK GTWISTS! Cover, TWO! Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again!

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match.

And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?

The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again!

The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first!

Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving.

Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up!

Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.

The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe.

The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!!

Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?

Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!
Ricochet tumbles out as Dante then builds speed, and Dante DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp but Dante hurries to put Ricochet in. Springboard and MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
