“There is a night…
“…where thrill seekers, daredevils, and monsters gather to bring their own form of terror. A night where the most powerful will thrive. Where a man left for dead infiltrates a house of horrors. It’s a struggle of rivals that could mean the death of a party. And a night where even a dangerous man faces a whole new herd. This is that night. As AEW presents… Fright Night Dynamite!”
The Blackpool Combat Club speaks.
More post show footage from Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta as they stormed out of the arena last week. The Swiss Superman walks ‘n’ talks about how “five years ago, Jon Moxley built this place with is bare freakin’ hands! We’re not gonna let a bunch of punks ruin it for us. We’re going to take this company to new heights. And if you don’t see that, then you’re-” Wait, Orange Cassidy shouts over the audio to say stop it, shut it off! The footage stops, and the fans fire up as Freshly Squeezed storms his way to the ring! Cassidy says, “That’s enough of that. See, I don’t do this. I don’t like this. This is not who I am.
“I don’t come out here and tell you for ten minutes that I’m a leader. I’m not a leader. That’s not what I am. But after last week, when I slid into this ring, and I watched my best friend, Chuck Taylor, get his neck crushed by a steel chair… When I looked around, I was surrounded by the people that I should’ve been. I admire their courage, they’re all very, very talented. But they are very, very young. I was surrounded by the future of AEW.” The fans cheer that. Cassidy says those guys have no idea of the danger they are in. They have no idea how dangerous Jon Moxley is! The fans rally behind Cassidy, and he says he knew then and there what he needed to do.
If Moxley has his way, there is no future for AEW. Those young guys have nowhere to go. Moxley never needed AEW, but Cassidy does! The fans cheer that! Cassidy doesn’t exist without AEW! There is no him, there is no us, there isn’t this! The fans cheer more, and chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Cassidy says now he knows what he needs to do: He must stop this, cut the head off the snake, and make sure no one else gets hurt. He’ll do it alone so he can protect everyone. And how does he do that? Cassidy takes off the sunglasses to say, “Jon Moxley, I challenge you! I challenge you for the AEW World Championship!”
The fans fire up, and Cassidy says he will take the symbol of this company and what it represents, take it out of Moxley’s bag, and put it in his backpack! So then, Moxley, you just let Cassidy know. He isn’t hard to find. He is where he is every single week: right here in this ring! Because, uh, he’s Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy. The fans cheer Cassidy on as he puts the sunglasses back on, and Cassidy adds, “And I am the next AEW World Champion. And… I still don’t need a catchphrase.” The fans cheer as Cassidy steps up, not as a leader but as a defender of AEW! Will Cassidy heroically take back what the BCC is trying to take from us?
Mercedes Mone & Kamille arrive backstage.
The CEO tells her Brickhouse to completely annihilate Kris Statlander! Renee Paquette catches up to them, and brings up the match of Kamille VS Statlander to finally prove who is the strongest woman in AEW. Does Mone have a prediction? Mone and Kamille look to each other as if they can’t believe this. Mone tells Renee that Renee should know better. First thing is first, Cleveland, please say hello to your CEO. And secondly, Mone hates terrible questions. Predictions? Just look at Kamille! Kamille IS The Brickhouse. Mone understands Kris is one of the strongest, a powerhouse in this division.
But she doesn’t hold a candle to Kamille! Renee wishes Kamille luck and Mone says you don’t need luck when you’re with The CEO. Mone & Kamille head out, but who will win the battle of female titans in The Land?
Adam Cole VS Buddy Matthews!
The Panama City Playboy may be facing the Aussie Juggernaut tonight, but he’s also competing with his good friend, Roderick Strong, all in the pursuit of taking down Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Will it be all about the “BOOM!” for “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” tonight? Or will Buddy prove that this Adam Cole just doesn’t have it?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as Cole stares Buddy down. They step to each other, and Buddy offers a handshake. Cole takes it, the fans applaud, but Buddy’s grip is strong. They circle, tie up, and Buddy powers Cole to a corner. Buddy lets off cleanly, and the fans rally. The two tie up again, Buddy again puts Cole in a corner, and he eggs Cole on as he lets off. Buddy and Cole circle more, tie up again, and Buddy again has Cole on ropes. The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and Cole tells him to bring it! They tie up, go along ropes, but Buddy still puts Cole in a corner. Buddy lets off as the ref counts, but Cole headlocks.
Buddy powers up and out, RAMS Cole, and the fans applaud as the two stare down again. Buddy headlocks, Cole powers up and out, but Buddy RUNS Cole over! Cole sits up, Buddy raises his fist, and things speed up. Cole drops, gets around, headlocks, but Buddy powers out. They RAM shoulders again, and Buddy wants Cole to bring it! Cole runs, RAMS Buddy, and again! And again! And again! Buddy headlocks for the takeover, Cole headscissors, but Buddy kips free! Cole shows superkick and Buddy backs up! The fans cheer, and the two reset. Cole shakes out his legs, still seeing for himself if he’s really ring ready.
The two reset, knuckle lock, and Buddy shoots to a waistlock. Cole switches, Buddy switches, but Cody backs Buddy into a corner. The ref counts, Buddy pushes Cole, but then Cole runs in. Buddy goes up and over, runs back in, but Cole dodges. Cole runs up, but Buddy puts him on the apron. Each man ducks a punch, but then Buddy feints, and Cole hops off the apron, only to jam his ankle! Cole is frustrated as he walks off the pain. We see Kyle O’Reilly watching backstage, is he just as concerned about the ankle as Cole? Cole hears the count, so he takes his time to get the bad ankle feeling alright.
But Buddy goes to the apron to PENALTY KICK Cole down! The fans fire up while Cole sputters, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Buddy looms over Cole, then drags him up. Buddy CHOPS Cole, stalks him along the way, and brings him around. Buddy SMACKS Cole off the apron, and Cole hurries into the ring. Buddy pursues, drags Cole up, and CHOPS! Cole goes to a corner and Buddy storms over, but Cole puts him in the corner! Cole CHOPS, but Buddy wags his finger. Buddy puts Cole in the corner to CHOP! Cole goes to another corner, but he lures Buddy in again. Cole CHOPS, but Buddy CHOPS back! Buddy wrenches Cole corner to corner hard and Cole bounces off buckles! Buddy watches Cole writhe, and he storms back over to him.
Buddy stands Cole up, whips him to ropes, but Cole ducks ‘n’ dodges, only for Buddy to catch him into a SLEEPER! Buddy squeezes tight, and he leans on Cole. Cole endures, fights up, and he RAMS Buddy into a corner! Buddy holds on, so Cole RAMS Buddy into the buckles again! Buddy still holds on, Cole tries again, but Buddy sends Cole into buckles! Buddy runs up, but into a BOOT! Cole hops up, but Buddy GAMANGIRIS! Cole wobbles up top and Buddy climbs up to join him. Buddy brings Cole up, but Cole fights the suplex! Fright Night returns to single picture as Buddy CLUBS away on Cole!
Buddy brings Cole to the very top now, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX! And a roll through! But Cole suplexes first! GHOSTBUSTER! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Buddy goes to the apron but Cole pursues. Cole is on the apron with Buddy, and he brings Buddy up. Cole fires a forearm, but Buddy fires back! They go back and forth, but Buddy V-TRIGGERS! Cole APRON DDTS!! Buddy flops to the floor, followed by Cole. The fans fire up again while the ring count starts. Buddy and Cole stir, we hit 5 of 10, and Cole rises up. Cole rolls in at 8, but Buddy drags him back out! Cole BOOTS Buddy into barriers!
Buddy hurries up, but Cole catches Buddy into a HEATSEEKER!! Cover, TWO!! Cole using MJF’s move doesn’t win it for him, but Cole keeps his focus. The fans rally and duel, and Cole goes up a corner. Cole takes aim as Buddy rises, for the PANAMA SUN- NO Buddy stops it into an Alabama Lift! But Cole sunset flips! Buddy rolls through, to DDT Cole’s foot! And DDT it again! Then again! Cole writhes his way to the bottom rope, but Buddy rolls out. Buddy drags Cole to the corner, and he STOMPS the foot on the steel steps! And again, and again, and again! The ref reprimands, Buddy stops, and Cole flops away!
Cole clutches the ankle, Doc Sampson checks him, and Buddy waits in the ring. The fans have their own ring count, but Cole says this is not how he wants this to end. Cole is determined to win three matches to face MJF, but Doc Sampson convinces him to at least get checked in the back. Buddy taunts Cole, “When the going gets tough, you just run away? This is what I mean, Adam! This new Adam is fragile! The old Adam Cole, he wouldn’t just walk away. But the new Adam Cole, is just a little b*tch!” Cole is pissed now so he storms back up, even with one good leg! Cole rolls in, the fans are thunderous, and the haymakers fly!
Cole ROCKS Buddy again and again, but Buddy fires the strike fest! SOBAT! KNEE! Stomp to the bad food! And again! And again! Buddy brings Cole around but Cole shoves him away. Buddy eggs Cole on, but Cole fires body shots. Cole rises, tells Buddy to take his shot, but Buddy runs up! Cole steps up and over, SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK! Cole brings the kneepad down, but he can’t run for The Boom! V-TRIGGER! Buddy runs, CURB STOMP! Cover, TWO!?! Cole survives and Buddy is furious! The fans rally and duel as Cole goes to the apron, but Buddy tells Cole to throw in the towel then!
The ref reprimands, but Cole snarls. He throws the towel at Buddy, to SUPERKICK! And BOOT! And BLINDSIDE SUPERKICK! Cole runs but Buddy reels him in! Cole breaks free to PELE! SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO!! Buddy survives and Cole is stunned. The fans rally up, Cole goes to the corner and climbs up. Buddy rises, into the PANAMA- V-TRIGGER! Buddy hauls Cole up, BUCKLE BOMB!! CURB STOMP!! Cover, ONE?!?! Cole is furious and Buddy is shocked! MJF is watching and he is getting upset. Cole fires hands on Buddy, but Buddy shoves him away, Buddy runs at the corner, Cole SUPERKICKS!
Cole hops up again, then leaps, PANAMA SUNRISE!! Buddy staggers out of the ring! Cole pursues, PANAMA SUNRISEÂ to the floor! The fans are torn as Cole hurries to put Buddy in! Cole runs up, THE BOOM!! Cover, Cole wins!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall
That’s one win down, two more to go! Kyle nods, proud of his friend, but surely MJF is throwing a fit. Cole grabs a mic to have the music cut, and he tells Buddy, “I know what you did, and I appreciate it. You just reminded me of who the real Adam Cole is. And for that, Buddy, I thank you.” Cole offers the handshake, and Buddy takes it. The fans cheer the sportsmanship, but then the lights go out! The fans bark in anticipation, and as the lights come up, Malakai Black has switched places with Cole! The fans lose their minds, and that black paint over Malakai’s eye, has he set his eye on bringing The End to Adam Cole?
Backstage interview with Private Party and Christopher Daniels.
Renee is now with Marq Quen, Isiah Kassidy and the Interim EVP. Daniels wants to tell them that this match tonight, he and Frankie Kazarian were in this same situation three years ago. They had a ton of momentum, risked it all for a world title shot, because they thought there was no way they couldn’t be AEW World Tag Team Champions. But the night of that match, Daniels can’t lie, he let Frankie down, and that changed the relationship. Things were never the same, Kaz isn’t even here anymore. Private Party can be AEW World Tag Team Champions, but we’re still talking about The Young Bucks here.
The Bucks will do anything and everything they have to in order to stay champions. Daniels just hopes Private Party knows what they’re risking tonight. Quen tells Daniels they appreciate the words, but they’ve got this. Zay says no offense, but history will not repeat itself. Private Party will be leavin’ Cleveland the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions. Daniels shakes their hands and Private Party heads out. Will Quen & Zay use this final shot together to finally reign together? Or will that not work for Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, brother?
The Undisputed Kingdom are with Adam Cole in medical.
Doc Sampson is checking Cole’s ankle and he says he’s good. Cole then says to camera that Buddy gave him one of the toughest matches he’s had in his entire career. And now it seems Malakai Black is on the radar. Cole is back in the fire, just how he likes it. But let us address the elephant in the room, and he means MJF. Cole’s ankle is clearly not what it used to be, it may never be the same again, but Cole doesn’t blame MJF for that. Cole does not blame MJF for shattering Cole’s ankle, or even for being a bad friend not checking up on him while he was injured. But what Cole does blame MJF for is pretending to that their friendship would ever work.
Because guys like Adam Cole and guys like MJF are meant to be enemies, not friends! Quit kidding yourself that you weren’t going to betray Cole, Max! And if you don’t believe him, Cole doesn’t need to explain himself past a few examples. In MJF’s tenure here in AEW, just look at what he did to Wardlow, to Sammy Guevara, to Daniel Garcia. If you think Cole was dumb enough to sit back and wait, you’ve got another thing coming. This isn’t Cole’s first rodeo, and MJF needed to be taught a harsh lesson. And what The Kingdom did, yeah, it was rough, mean, maybe even extreme. But DAMMIT, it needed to happen!
Because Cole gives a damn about AEW! About the AEW locker room! About the AEW fans! About what AEW was built on, what it is meant to be, and MJF was never part of that team. Cole swears to God with every fiber of his being, he will get his hands on MJF at Full Gear. Better yet, they get their hands on MJF! And when they do, Cole will be happy to teach MJF another lesson. One down, two to go. Cole and his real friends are ready, but will either Cole or Roddy make it through three matches without a loss? Or will the Wolf of Wrestling continue to worm his way out of getting what he deserves?
Kyle Fletcher & Don Callis are here!
The Don Callis Family stands on stage, and fans boo as Callis has the mic. Callis says, “Ladies and gentlemen, Kyle Fletcher has something important to say!” The mic is handed over to the Aussie Arrow, and he says he is a man of his word! Kyle Fletcher is here to call out and stand face to face with Will Ospreay. Without further ado, the man himself, the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay! Kyle watches for the tunnel, but no music and no Ospreay. Kyle says he is just as disappointed as the fans. He was really hoping Ospreay would show up. But this proves what- WAIT! The Aussie Open music starts?!
The fans fire up as MARK DAVIS is here! Kyle’s tag partner and friend is back in AEW! Kyle is surprised to see Mark, not the man he was expecting, but so good to see him. But then Mark denies him the hug! Mark tells Kyle to listen. Mark wishes he could look Kyle in the eyes and say the exact same thing, but Kyle is out here calling out Will when you know he’s laid up at home because of what Kyle did to him. Kyle is standing here, calling out someone that they both used to call a brother. So when Mark is here, looking at Kyle, he doesn’t even know who he is looking at! Oh, Mark doesn’t know? Mark thinks Kyle has changed?
The only thing that has happened since Mark was away is that Kyle opened his eyes to the truth! Callis helped Kyle see Ospreay for who he truly is! Ospreay never cared about Aussie Open. Ospreay kept them in his back pocket to help further his own career! So they can forget about Ospreay because Kyle is sure Ospreay forgot about Mark. BUT Kyle never forgot. Kyle knew this day would come, and made sure that when it did, Mark would always have a spot in the Don Callis Family. The fans boo but Kyle and Callis offer hugs. Mark says, “Family? Mate, we had an emipre. A United Empire, and mate, you destroyed it.”
Mark steps around Kyle and Callis, and Kyle tells Mark that before he goes, “There is going to come a day very soon where you need to make a hard decision. And I have proven before that I have no problem cutting the past loose.” The Aussie Arrow gives Dunkzilla a not so veiled threat, but what will Will Ospreay have to say about all this?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is now with the Blackhat Cowboy, and says last week, it was made official: Hangman Page VS Jay White at Full Gear. White had some choice words, too, saying this was Hangman’s chance at “redemption.” What are Hangman’s thoughts on that? Hangman says in July, White entered the Owen Hart Cup with his eyes dead set on the AEW World Championship. But Hangman knocked White out in the second round. White can lay the blame at Christian’s feet all he wants, but it wasn’t Christian but Hangman that hurt White so bad that White spent three MONTHS at home.
And White comes back looking for Hangman, not the title. That is a mistake. White wants to bring up their record against each other, 4-1 in White’s favor. Hangman did lose at WrestleDream, he will give White that. But now, this is White giving Hangman redemption? Hangman will make this very clear: There is no such thing as ‘redemption.” Not for White, not for Hangman. Only the now! The wins, the losses, and the consequences that follow. Hangman knows White’s strategy for Full Gear. White will go for Hangman’s leg, go Dragon Screw and Shin Breaker, but what will Hangman’s strategy be? You don’t know.
Will Hangman hit White with a chair? Will Haman strangle White and injure White’s friends while he watches? Will Hangman light White’s house? Will Hangman break White’s ankle again? One thing for sure, at the end of Full Gear, when and not if Hangman beats White, Hangman will stand over White and leave him like he has so many others to stand in front of him: Hurt with less than you had before. Hangman will leave White behind. The Cowboy heads out, will he be the one to win this shootout with the Switchblade?
The Blackpool Combat Club is backstage.
Wheeler Yuta, Pac, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and yes, Jon Moxley, all step inside the building. What will these five have planned for The Land tonight?
The Blackpool Combat Club heads to the ring.
Fright Night returns from break as The Maniac walks with The Problem, The Bastard, The Swiss Superman & The Decoder through the crowd and to ringside. The fans are torn as they step into the ring, and Moxley grabs a mic. Moxley says he doesn’t expect Orange Cassidy or anyone else to appreciate what this group is trying to do right now, but one day, they will understand. Freshly Squeezed came out here, and he thinks he can face Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. The fans think Cassidy challenged Moxley for the AEW World Championship. No, Moxley challenged Cassidy!
No one just challenges the champ, that’s not how this works. Moxley challenged Cassidy when he had Chuck Taylor’s neck broken. What Moxley did is, he cut distraction and dead weight out of Cassidy’s life so that Cassidy could focus on his goals. The BCC walked into the room, basically asked who was in charge, and everybody pointed to Cassidy, “He’s our guy.” But Cassidy didn’t wanna step up and lead his people. That’s not the Cassidy that Moxley knows. That is not the Cassidy that Moxley thinks the world off. Do not catch the disease, be under the spell that so many people are under. Fat and happy with their paychecks, figments of their own imaginations, that they’re something that they’re not.
Moxley does not want that for Cassidy. Moxley has pushed Cassidy again and again, and Cassidy has not yet begun to walk through the valley. Cassidy wants Moxley at Full Gear? Tonight? Any time? Fine by Moxley. When that happens, Cassidy will not fight Moxley on the mountaintop but in the valley. And Cassidy better be ready to die, because believe Moxley, THIS valley right here is the valley Moxley is willing to die in! The fans do cheer that, at least. Moxley says Cassidy claimed no one gets hurt. A real cool customer, free from distractions, but he thinks he’s pulling the strings? We’ll see about that right now.
Moxley signals to the others, and Marina & Pac drag Yuta down?! Claudio grabs a chair! The fans boo, they’re making Yuta a sacrificial lamb just to make a point! The chair is around Yuta’s neck, but here comes Cassidy! He TACKLES Moxley! The fans fire up, but Claudio drags Cassidy off him! Pac & Moxley stomp Cassidy while Marina gets in Yuta’s face. Marina tells Yuta to join in, and so Yuta does! The fans boo Yuta as he can’t see how he is also just a pawn in this. But here comes The Dark Order! Evil Uno, John Silver & Alex Reynolds go after the BCC! The fans fire up for the brawl, but the numbers isn’t on their side!
Claudio has Reynolds, and THROWS him into railing! The bad ribs are only feeling worse, and then Claudio TOSSES Reynolds into the timekeeper’s area! Moxley beats up on Silver while Pac TOSSES Uno! Yuta has the chair that almost crushed him, and he uses it to SMACK Cassidy! Silver is sent into steel steps! Marina CHOKES Silver while Yuta SMACKS Uno with the chair! Yuta hands the chair to Pac, and Pac puts the chair around Cassidy! The fans boo as they hold Cassidy down, but DARBY ALLIN REPELS DOWN FROM THE RAFTERS!! A true student of Sting, and Darby fires off on Claudio! They brawl onto the desk, and it breaks!!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he BITES Claudio on the head! Reynolds unhooks Darby so he can go after Claudio more! Pac and Uno brawl, Moxley isn’t sure what to make of this! Claudio TOSSES Darby back onto the desk wreckage! And he UPPERCUTS Reynolds! But Darby is back up to RAM Claudio into railing! Darby claws at Claudio, and here comes Top Flight! Dante, Darius, Action, Lio, they all help turn the tides! Claudio TOSSES Darby but Darius throws hands! Claudio THROWS Darius! But now Daniel Garcia & Private Party run out here! ORANGE PUNCH for Moxley!! Private Party gives Yuta the atomic drop and ENZIGIRI!
The BCC is in retreat because now they’re the ones outnumbered! But the brawling keeps happening! Wait, with Private Party out here, here come The Young Bucks! They don’t want to fight The BCC, but they will take advantage of having Quen & Zay here, caught unawares! Will Matthew & Nicholas look to end the party already? Or will there be no denying Quen & Zay their moment?
AEW World Tag Team Championships, Titles VS Team Career: The Young Bucks VS Private Party!
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, as are the stakes! Will this truly be the last chapter between these teams?

The fans lose their minds, and Matt whips Quen into steel steps! Matt sets Quen up so Nick can PENALTY KICK! The fans boo but The Bucks soak it up. The Bucks put Quen in, and Nick stalks him. Nick scrapes his soles off Quen’s face while Matt tells commentary that Zay’s fine, he’s doing great. Nick PENALTY KICKS Quen down! Nick rains down fists on Quen, then drags him up. Matt stands Zay up to show how he’s busted open! Nick sends Quen into buckles, Matt sends Zay into steel steps! Matt SMACKS Zay off the steps again and again! Zay flops down, Matt tags in, and The Bucks whip Quen corner to corner.
Nick runs in, but Quen puts him on the apron! Matt runs in, Quen dodges, GAMANGIRI hits Matt! Nick panics, but he SUPERKICKS Zay back down! Quen swings on Nick, Nick dodges and Matt CLOBBERS Quen!

Matt paces, then stomps Quen. Nick soaks up the heat while Matt stalks Quen. But Quen fires body shots! Matt CLUBS Quen down, scuffs him, then brings him over. Tag to Nick, BACKBREAKER and slingshot LEG DROP! The Bucks soak up more heat, they’re just toying with Private Party at this point. Nick drags Quen up, we see Zay dragging himself up off the floor, but Nick bumps Quen off buckles. Nick tags Matt, they whip Quen to then DOUBLE ELBOW!

Winners: Private Party, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)
Finally and definitively, Private Party has the gold! But then The Bucks snatch the title belts away? The fans boo, and even chant “They Deserve It!” The Bucks seem to agree, and they personally give the belts to Quen & Zay. Will this truly be a new era for the AEW Tag Team Division?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter and Penelope Ford.
Renee is with these two former friends turned bitter enemies ahead of their match next Wednesday. Penelope has been assured by Tony Khan that there will be no physicality here. Let’s take things back- Penelope stops Renee there to say that she has been in AEW since day one. And it seems like so many people have forgotten who she is, including Jamie. Penelope has done so much, from going through glass, barbed wire, having bamboo skewers in her head. After two YEARS away, Penelope will take what she deserves, and what Hayter took from her! Hayter says Penelope just took an opportunity away from her! And we’re talking about stuff from two years ago?!
Hayter says go ahead, Penelope. She’s lucky TK granted No Physicality. In their match? Not so much. Hayter will mop the floor with Penelope. Hayter heads out, but will Penelope make sure things go superbad for Hayter this Fall?
AEW hears from MVP and Prince Nana.
Montel Vontavious Porter tells Swerve, “I have no doubt that one day, your name will be spoken among the greats. But that’s if you come to your senses. I might be willing to have mercy on you, Shelton Benjamin won’t.” Nana fires back that MVP wanted Swerve to make a choice, and Swerve made the greatest choice of them all, by choosing himself. And tonight, Shelton finds out that Swerve is undoubtedly the most dangerous man in AEW. The Realest and The Standard of Excellence will have it out in tonight’s main event, is this one about to get scary?
The Learning Tree is on stage.
Chris Jericho smiles while Bryan Keith scowls and “Big Bill” Morrissey speaks. “As The Learning Tree always says, ‘Teamwork makes the dream work. But the dream will not work unless the team works together.'” Jericho waves and says, “Hi, guys~! And welcome to All Hallows’ Eve. That means The Night Before Halloween. Hahaha.” And last week in Ladder War, the match that The Wrestling Observer said would be remembered for a long, long time, a ladder match that THE Dave Meltzer gave four stars to, Jericho became the ROH World Champion a second team. Just like Jay Briscoe!
And that also makes Jericho a nine-time world champion, fulfilling the prophecy of him becoming The Nueve. Now, Jericho could not have done this without The Bad Apple, The Redwood, and all of his Branches watching at home, and here in Cinc- Er, Cleveland. But this is so much more than about winning the title. Jericho thinks big picture. Just like how Terrifier 3, the movie he costarred in and quarterbacked, became the number one movie in America… Just like AEW itself becoming a pro-wrestling powerhouse, with all due respect to Jon Moxley but mostly because of Jericho, Jericho will do the same for ROH.
Jericho will take ROH to the biggest stage and the biggest success it has ever seen. How will he do that? Because he is Chris Jericho and he just can. And if you are underestimating Chris Jericho, then you are overestimating your knowledge and understanding of the TV and pro-wrestling business. Keith says, “NEVER underestimate Chris Jericho, you bunch o’ dumbasses!” Jericho says what he will do is let everyone reach down between their legs, ease their seats back, and enjoy the ride. Jericho is taking ROH and all of us to places you’ve never, ever been before. Thanks, guys~!
The fans are torn, but will this new era of “Ring of Jericho” really be the biggest and brightest yet?
Anna Jay speaks.
“This business came at me fast. I was nervous, I was green, but I dove in headfirst. But I kept being told that I was missing something. That I was almost there, but not there yet. I needed to change. I am ready to be AEW Women’s World Champion. You are not ready for me.” Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show after her Collision with The Glamour?
Alex Marvez is backstage.
He is looking to talk with The Young Bucks after their loss in the tag title match, but Jack Perry steps in his way. Not a good time, Marvez. Go, get outta here. Marvez leaves, but then Garcia finds Perry. Garcia asks Perry what he was doing earlier while the others were fighting BCC. Just watching his boys lose their titles? Perry knows he’s next, right? Perry shoves Garcia and tells him to mind his own business. Garcia gets in Perry’s face and pushes him into the wall! Garcia is sick of entitled trash like Perry acting like they can do whatever they want. Perry asks Garcia, “You think you’re so special?” But Garcia just shoves Perry back into the wall!
Garcia turns that on Perry, “You think you’re so special?” Perry says, “They used to dance for me, too.” Garcia gets mad but tells Perry to get out of his face. The Scapegoat grins while Red Death leaves, and Perry enters The Elite’s locker room. They’re packing everything up as fast as they can, and… is Brandon Cutler putting stuff in the paper shredder? Matt tells Perry they gotta talk. No cameras, get outta here! Perry pushes the cameraman aside, but what is going on with The Elite?
Kris Statlander VS Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now the #BornAgainKristen, but The Brickhouse left her on The Road to Damascus last week. Will Kris show she’s still the strongest, baddest and even the scariest woman in AEW? Or will The CEO’s insurance policy keep her safe from Staturday Night Fever?
The bell rings and the two tie up. The fans rally as they’re in a deadlock. They break, and Kamille kicks low. Kamille headlocks, Kris powers up and out, but Kamille RAMS her! The fans cheer as Kris stays up. They tie up again, Kamille pulls hair but Kris pulls hair back. Kris whips, Kamille reverses, but the fans chant “C E O!” “SUCKS!” “C E O!” “SUCKS!” Kris dodges Kamille, but Kamille RUNS Kris over! Kamille fires up, but Kris kips up! Mone warns Kamille, but Kris SHOTGUNS Kamille! Kamille stays up to run up, but Kris avoids the elbow drop! The female titans reset, and then Kris eggs Kamille on.
Kamille runs in, Kris DUMPS her to the apron. Kamille stays on the apron, Kris ROCKS her, but Kamille blocks the buckle bump. Kamille ROCKS Kris, HOTSHOTS Kris, then storms in to LARIAT! Mone is pleased but the fans boo, and Kamille dribbles Kris’ face off the mat while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Kamille keeps bouncing Kris off the buckles, and Mone soaks up the cheers and jeers for her. Kamille puts Kris through ropes to CLUB away on her! Not quite the Bodhrain but Kamille still beats Kris like a drum until the rf counts 4. Kamille then sets Kris up for MORE shots to the chest! Kamille lets off, argues with the ref, and Mone scampers over like she did with Queen Aminata last week. But this time, the ref spots her! The ref warns Mone, so Mone backs off. Kamille drags Kris up, but Kris fires body shots. Kris runs, but Kamille LARIATS her back down! Cover, TWO! Kamille is annoyed but she drags Kris up.
Kamille bumps Kris off buckles, runs her side to side to bump her off buckles, and then she runs side to side to do it again! Mone taunts Kris with the TBS Championship, and Kamille runs Kris to the fourth corner. Kris stops the buckle bump this time, and fires body shots! Kris bumps Kamille off buckles again and again, then fires off fast hands! The refs counts, Kris lets off, and Kamille runs up to BOOT Kris down! Kamille covers, TWO! Mone is annoyed and tells Kamille to stay on Kris. Kamille dribbles Kris off the mat, but Kris comes back with body shots. Kamille BOOTS Kris down, and Fright Night goes to break.
Fright Night returns from break and Kris dodges Kamille to LARIAT! Kamille stays up, so Kris runs again! Another LARIAT, but Kamille stays up! Kamille swings, Kris dodges, and SNAP POWERSLAMS! The fans fire up but Mone panics. Kris waistlocks, Kamille elbows free, but Kris dodges the boot! Fireman’s carry, F5! Cover, TWO!! Kamille survives but Kris drags her to a drop zone. Kris climbs and the fans fire up. Kris grins at Mone, but Kamille moves, the 450 FLOPS! Kamille comes back, ROUGH RYDER!! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives, but Kamille hurries to haul her up! Torture rack and TOWER HACKER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!
Kris survives and Mone is losing her cool. Kamille drags Kris up, gut wrenches, but Kris fights to turn things around! Kris tucks Kamille in, STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!! Cover, Kris wins!!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Mone is freaking out! Her undefeated Brickhouse loses, but then Mone CLOBBERS Kris with the belt! The fans boo but Mone grabs a mic. “Kamille, get to the back. NOW!” Mone orders her muscle around, then she says, “When you want something done right, you do it yourself.” Mone sits Kris up and tells her they are not done. Will The CEO end Kris’s redemption tour with her own two hands?
The Patriarchy speaks.
Christian Cage tells Hook, “Last week, we had a bit of a misunderstanding. So what I’d like to do is extend an olive branch to you to meet The Patriarchy in the middle of the ring next week on Dynamite, and allow me to explain myself.” Captain Charisma smiles, but will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil not care to listen as to why Christian did what he did?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
AEW returns as Renee is with Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii, and she brings up Mark losing the ROH World Championship to Jericho. We all know how much that title means to Mark, and how much ROH means to him, so where does he go from here? Mark says Renee has never lied, and she’s damn right about ROH and the title meaning a hell of a lot to him. But what he wonders at this point, is when did Jericho bump his damn head to the point where he doesn’t care about his own well-being? The word of the day is “instability,” because Jericho must have a whole lot of that going on up in his brain!
Jericho obviously no longer cares about his health, because he let Jay Briscoe’s name come out his damn dirty mouth yet again! And for that, Jericho will pay! The only way Jericho ever got one up on Mark is because he’s got his boys! Well look at here! They conglomerating hard, baby! Three of y’all, three of them, what’s Kyle think? Kyle thinks the Learning Tree ain’t got no honor, so next Wednesday, a Fight Without Honor!! Mark says damn right! He loves Kyle! Wednesday, ladders, tables, chairs, batten down the hatches cuz if they ain’t, Conglomeration’s beating you with some hatches! Big Tom has his hatches ready? Ishii nods. Damn right he’s ready!
Mark says in Manchester, New Hampshire, Six Man Fight Without Honor! Let’s go, baby! RARARARA! Ishii tells Jericho in Japanese that he’s done for. Will the Learning Tree be uprooted once and for all? Or is the ROH World Championship stuck in the Jericho Vortex for good this time?
The Bucks are hurrying to the parking lot.
Matt & Nick look over their shoulders, Marvez is there to ask them why they’re leaving when the show isn’t even over yet. But then Daniels storms up to ask the same thing! Nick says they may not see eye to eye, but they all know this place is getting too chaotic. They’re outta here. Matt tells Daniels that when The Bucks came back, they wanted to change the world, to make AEW a better place, and no one else would listen to them! Now get outta their faces! They’re working from home! What? No, they need The Bucks here! What’s going on here? The Bucks drive away, but they left without Cutler and the Reeboks!
And now The BCC finds Cutler…! Moxley SLAPS the box out of Cutler’s hands, and Pac BOOTS Cutler! Daniels says stop, but Moxley grabs Daniels! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Daniels while the others beat Cutler! Marina puts Cutler’s hand on a forklift’s tire well! Daniels begs Moxley not to do this, but Claudio has a hammer! They HAMMER Cutler’s fingers!! Moxley mockingly asks where Daniels’ boys are going, things are just getting good. The BCC leaves, Daniels calls for medical! Will no one be spared in this hostile takeover?

Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP!
The Realest doesn’t need anyone else getting in his business about putting the hurt on others. But The Standard of Excellence is looking to teach everyone in AEW what happens when you refuse an offer from Montel Vontavious Porter. Will AEW no longer be Swerve’s House? Or will things only get more dangerous than ever before?
The fans chant “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The bell rings and Swerve stares Shelton down, then smirks. Swerve and Shelton step up, talk a bit of smack, and then circle. They feel things out, Shelton RAMS Swerve right to a corner! Swerve avoids a lariat to CHOP, but Shelton just grins. Swerve headlocks, Shelton powers up and out, and they RAM shoulders. Neither man falls and Shelton shakes his head. So Swerve fires forearms! Swerve whips, Shelton reverses then waistlocks. Swerve fights the lift, pries at the hold, but Shelton SLAMS Swerve down! Shelton keeps on Swerve, but Swerve has the ROPEBREAK!
The ref counts, but Shelton drags Swerve back. Swerve throws an elbow but Shelton CLUBS him on the back. Shelton whips, Swerve ducks ‘n’ dodges, MVP jaws at Nana, but Swerve flips to RANA Shelton! The fans fire up, MVP coaches Shelton, and the fans still rally for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Shelton and Swerve reset, Shelton swings but Swerve dodges. Swerve fires hands, whips, but Shelton reverses to clinch and OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY Swerve up and out! The fans fire up, MVP likes what he sees, and Shelton goes out after Swerve. Shelton scoops Swerve, but Swerve slips free to POST Shelton!
Shelton staggers, Swerve laces an arm through the ropes! Swerve has a HANGING ARMBAR! The ref counts, Swerve SNAPS the fingers before he lets go! Shelton scrambles away while clutching his arm, but Swerve goes up the apron. Swerve kicks, but Shelton blocks to YANK Swerve down! Swerve hits the apron, then Shelton THRWOS him into railing! And into the apron! And back to railing! And then into the ring! MVP is fired up again as Shelton GOTCH LIFT SUPLEXES Swerve! Shelton snarls as he stalks Swerve. Nana coaches Swerve as he goes to the corner. Shelton runs in, but Swerve goes up and over! Swerve then 619’s Shelton in the gut!
Swerve slingshots, but into the STEP-UP KNEE! Swerve falls to the floor, MVP is there to mock him, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Swerve but he’s still in this. Nana rallies the fans, MVP talks some trash, and Shelton goes out to scare Nana off. Shelton drags Swerve up, and snap suplexes him to the floor! Swerve writhes, Nana coaches him, but Shelton leaves him to the ring count. Swerve climbs onto the apron but Shelton runs to BLAST him back down! Swerve hits railing, but he hobbles his way back over. Shelton drags Swerve up to the apron, and he fires knees into Swerve! The ref reprimands, and Shelton stops. Swerve sputters as he backs away to a corner. MVP is there to just smirk at Swerve, and Shelton digs his boots in.
Nana and MVP shout at each other, and the ref reprimands everyone. Shelton goes out to scare Nana off again, then Shelton goes back to the ring. Swerve DROPKICKS Shelton down! Nana applauds and Swerve hurries to his feet. Swerve runs, but into a BACKDROP! Swerve writhes, Shelton stalks him to a corner, but Nana continues to coach Swerve. Shelton drags Swerve up and TOSSES him to the apron. Shelton KNEES Swerve in the ropes, then goes up the corner. Shelton FLYING KNEES Swerve down! Shelton clamps onto Swerve with a chinlock and grinds him down. Swerve endures, fights up, and the fans rally.
Swerve reaches for a corner, but Shelton GERMAN SUPLEXES him away! Fright Night returns to single picture and Shelton stalks Swerve again. Nana coaches Swerve but Shelton waistlocks, to GERMAN SUPLEX again! Swerve flies to the other side of the ring, and Shelton grins. Fans want that “One More Time!” and Shelton storms over to Swerve. Shelton waistlocks again, but Swerve fights the lift. Swerve pries the waistlock open, but Shelton CLUBS him for it. Shelton BACKDROPS but Swerve sunset flips! TWO, and Swerve has the legs! Swerve works to turn Shelton but Shelton fights. So Swerve rolls Shelton while Nana and MVP actually debate calmly.
Swerve has Shelton in a waistlock, O’Conner Roll, then EDDY GORDO KICK! Shelton flops onto ropes and MVP is upset now! Nana rallies the fans behind Swerve, and he says Swerve IS AEW’s most dangerous man! Swerve runs up, UPPERCUTS, then snapmares. Swerve goes up to FALLING UPPERCUT!

Swerve brings Shelton out, for a POWERBOMB!! Then Swerve hops right back up the corner! KILL STOMPS!! Cover, SWERVE WINS!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
An instant classic for the first-ever Fright Night Dynamite, and wait, is MVP getting out his phone? MVP makes a quick call, but to who? Swerve is back on the winning track, will he make his way to some gold? WAIT! The lights blink out for a second, and now… timpani drums?! BOBBY LASHLEY IS HERE!?! Mighty is he, and now he is All Elite! The fans go wild as Lashley steps into the ring with MVP to stare down Nana & Swerve. Shelton gets up, Swerve steps to him, so Shelton backs off, and Lashley CLOBBERS Swerve! MVP JAMS Nana with the cane! The fans are torn as the Hurt Syndicate mug Swerve & Nana!
MVP says Nana did this! Shelton feeds Swerve to the MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER! Lashley throws off his jacket, and then makes Swerve watch Shelton BOOT Nana down! Then, THE HURT LOCK!! Swerve is passing out already! Referees rush out here but Shelton & MVP will not let them in! Security steps in, SUPERKICK from Shelton! MVP DECKS the other guy! Shelton TOSSES another guard, and Lashley finally lets Swerve go to throw hands on the security! As if BCC doing what they want wasn’t bad enough, The Syndicate TOSSES security all around, and MVP even swings his cane!
MVP grabs a mic as he stands over Swerve & Nana. “Guess who’s back in business!” The fans cheer for that at least! Will AEW not know what hit them now that Lashley is here?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Dynamite here. Not so much “Fright Night” because other than the aesthetics (very good Halloween decorations on the stage), there was nothing Halloween themed about tonight. None of the matches were given Halloween stipulations, and almost no one dressed up for tonight. I do appreciate Jamie Hayter being Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo. And she had a good promo with Penelope but it added nothing new. Their match next week will be really good but unless Penelope cheats, Hayter is gonna win. Good promo from Patriarchy to call out Hook, but honestly, why not just wait until next week to do this same thing in the ring? Filler for sure.
Good promo from Anna Jay but it didn’t add much to the hype on her match with Mariah May. On the flipside, Hangman’s promo warning Jay White was good stuff and is a proper response to White’s promo from last week. That Full Gear match is going to be awesome for sure. Very good stuff with Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis, mostly on getting to see Mark Davis again. Mark calling out Kyle for the usual Heel “call out someone you know can’t respond” move was good, and if Mark’s return match is against Kyle, that’d be pretty big stuff. And if Kyle does look to attack with a screwdriver, that could be a great moment for Ospreay to return and make a save.
Great opening match from Cole VS Buddy, Cole was of course beating Buddy, and the bad ankle was a good detail, but I feel like the fans could sense how over the top it was to see Cole “fighting through the pain.” There were a lot more chants for Buddy throughout the match, because to be fair, Buddy does deserve his own chance in the singles division. But what a well done switcheroo with the handshake where Malakai was there when the lights turned on. Cole VS Malakai is going to be awesome, but I hope we see Roddy get going on his three match challenge with Rampage or Collision. As for Cole’s backstage promo, it is also a bit of a patch job on how this story is continuing, but Cole still nailed everything he said anyway.
Very good promo from Mone before Kamille VS Kris, and Kamille VS Kris was a great match. Kris of course wins because she is going to face Mone for the TBS Championship, that is going to be a great match for Full Gear. Very good promo from the Learning Tree trio to tease that perhaps Jericho gets ROH a TV deal, like TruTV or maybe TNT if Rampage disappears. The Conglomeration had a great response, I really like the Fight Without Honor made for next week, that’ll be awesome stuff. I just hope Jericho’s ROH title reign is over sooner rather than later. Jericho can still do stuff in the ring, but I feel like there’s still enough heat from the fans where Jericho would really only annoy everyone who takes the time to watch ROH TV.
Great promo from MVP and Nana to hype up tonight’s main event, and what an awesome main event. Swerve gets a great win, but what a great surprise that Bobby Lashley is finally All Elite. Great brawl to take us to the end, and you could clearly hear someone calling out how many seconds were left. MVP’s closing line was great, this might be one of the better closing moments for a Dynamite this year. Hurt Syndicate continuing where Hurt Business left off is going to be a lot of fun, can’t wait to see Swerve VS Lashley at like Full Gear to then send the winner towards a title.
And of course, great stuff all throughout the night with this ongoing BCC hostile takeover, emphasis on “hostile” tonight. I loved Cassidy interrupting the opening video, which was looking pretty good from what we got. And Cassidy had a great promo that was very serious for Cassidy, yet still very much Orange Cassidy style. Moxley’s response promo was great, and poor Yuta is just being bullied into doing this stuff. Cassidy making the save for Yuta, only for Yuta to not appreciate it, good stuff. After what Yuta said last week, he sure has no choice in this, but the rest of the group might be a little too into what they’re doing. Them crushing Cutler’s fingers was definitely sadistic.
The brawl that ensued was great, and I loved Darby flying in like Sting. It was a little confusing at first seeing something pink drop in but then I remembered Darby’s got that pink hoodie now. Anyway, The Bucks using the brawl of BCC and “Team AEW” to get their tag match started was good stuff, and that title match was PPV level. I still say WrestleDream should’ve been the place Private Party won, but hey, at least Private Party won the titles at all. Great promo with Perry and Garcia, I like that Garcia pretty much had Perry dead to rights until Perry references the dance and the fans being fickle.
And what a great bit of The Elite not just packing in a panic but destroying documents or whatever. As I’ve said, this is very Rated R action movie, and this is like throwing in a corporate/government corruption story to it. The Elite want to hide something from the others before The BCC use it against them and truly take over AEW. And of course The Bucks act like they were right all along. A very “Thanos Was Right” or whatever kind of trope, but still appreciated. We’ve all been wondering for a month or so now if Shane McMahon was going to get in on this story, and I feel like this detail would be the best opening for that.

The fans boo more, but Moxley says this is a tough sport and a tough business. So on July 12th at All In, Moxley will run the Hangman outta this sport for good!
The fans boo even more, but Moxley tells Hangman he can just go back to counting chickens or whatever it is he does, because this business is NOT for him! The Maniac has given his warning, but is it all bluster knowing Hangman isn’t around? Or will nothing and no one stop the reign of terror?

Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay speak.
Tay Melo tells Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford that they know what happened last time. Tonight is round two! And Anna adds that there are so many more ways they wanna hurt them. The One True African Queen says Thekla may have won, but she knows she got hit hard, huh? She ain’t seen nothing yet! And La Mera Mera reminds Athena that she’s coming for that ROH Women’s World Championship. Tonight, she takes Athena’s head!
Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.

But even then, Athena still doesn’t like crazy spider lady, still doesn’t like Ford, and is still bigger and badder than Megan. But tonight, it’s ATHENA Elite Wrestling! So let’s get it together, girls, so Athena can have her moment. And if they do, they can be her Minions. Ford keeps Megan from storming up on Athena, but can these war goddesses hold it together to be victorious?
AEW shares footage from after Grand Slam: Mexico.
Renee Paquette was with the NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion, Mercedes Mone, and says what a huge night. Another history making moment as she is now #SixBeltsMone! Mone says damn straight! Unfortunately, not everyone was in the mood for celebrating… Toni Storm rained on her parade a bit. Mone tells Toni, “You think you’re gonna play mind games with me? Well, I am the master of any game! So bring it! Tonight’s win was just a preview for what’s to come at All In: Texas. Toni, you call yourself ‘Timeless?’ Well, I’m iconic! I’m Six Belts Mone! The Conversation, the Blueprint, The C E O!”
And the Money Train is on a roll! Toni’s time is ticking, and it is almost up. See you in Texas, b*tch! Mone rolls on, but will she have lucky number seven? Or will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one prize she doesn’t get to have?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Shane Taylor w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!
The Realest may have a house, but Big Bad Shaney T. Boy has an entire promotion! And while this is Swerve’s homecoming to Washington, will he have homefield advantage? Or will Shane show him how to rumble, bad man, rumble?
The bell rings and the two circle. Shane swings, Swerve dodges to waistlock, but then Swerve avoids the elbow. Shane stops the Eddy Gordo Rana, brings Swerve up to back suplex, but Swerve lands out. Shane blocks a boot, Swerve reels him in and sunset flips, but Shane stays up! Swerve avoids the fist drop to SHOVE Shane out of the ring! Swerve builds speed, but then just hits the Griddy! The fans cheer, STP is upset, and Bravo says he’s got money riding on this. Shane storms into the ring to circle with Swerve. Swerve bobs ‘n’ weaves to avoid the shots, but Shane stops the wrench. Shane blocks the whip, too, but then Swerve BOOTS him!
The fans cheer, Swerve eggs Shane on, and the two reset. They feel things out, Shane fires hands, and wait, Nana is gambling with the Infantry? Shane DECKS Swerve, his odds might’ve just gone up! Shane drags Swerve up on the apron and Bravo wants Tony Schiavone to get in on this? Shane lifts Swerve, Swerve fights free, and he slips under! The Infantry freaks out as Swerve pulls on Shane, but Shane grabs Swerve to SLAM him off the apron! Then he APRON SPLASHES! The fans boo while Swerve falls, and Shane claims it’s HIS house now! The fans boo more while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Infantry mockingly offer Swerve some money, but Shane drags Swerve up to HEADBUTT him! Shane puts Swerve in the ring, tells Nana he’s about to lose more money on this, and then goes into the ring. Shane clamps onto Swerve with a chinlock and he grinds Swerve down. Swerve endures and Nana rallies the fans. Swerve fights up, fires body shots, then he KNEES Shane low! Shane ROCKS Swerve with a left! Then SAIDOS! Swerve staggers over to ropes, Shane storms up on him, and Shane CHOKES Swerve by standing on him! The ref counts, Shane backs off, and Swerve goes to the corner. Shane storms up to Swerve again while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Shane has Swerve in a corner to talk trash, then he runs up, only for Swerve to dodge! Swerve then wraps Shane’s arm around ropes, CLUBS away on the shoulder, and runs side to side for a DROPKICK to the arm! The fans fire up and Swerve dropkicks the legs out! Swerve drops a KNEE on the arm, then runs to KNEE Shane down! Cover, TWO! Shane is tougher than that but Swerve stays focused. Nana says it’s over for STP now! Swerve KICKS the bad arm, and the fans cheer for “DEFY! DEFY!” Swerve runs up, Shane shoves him to the corner but Swerve comes back, only for Shane to HEADBUTT!
Shane URENAGES Swerve down, but that was the bad arm! Shane runs, SPLASHES DOWNÂ into an armbar! Swerve has Shane caught and he even HAMMERS Shane’s head! Shane endures, fights back up, and he powers out! Shane KNEES Swerve down! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives and Shane grows frustrated. Swerve goes to a corner, Shane says time to bet it all! Shane goes up the corner, the fans fire up, and Swerve ROCKS Shane first! Swerve throws more hands, then he goes up to get Shane for a SUPER DUPER BACK SUPLEX! The fans are thunderous and Swerve is feeling it! Shane flounders to the apron, but Swerve fires hands!
The fans rally, Swerve runs and returns, but into Shane’s grip! Swerve KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! Shane drapes over the ropes and Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, takes aim, APRON KILL STOMPS!! The fans are thunderous again and Swerve steps inside. But the Infantry gets all up in Nana’s face! Swerve FLIES out onto the Infantry! And then a HOUSE CALL for Shane!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Swerve finally has his 50th singles win here in AEW, and Nana rakes in the dough! Having green is nice, but will Swerve find himself aimed at gold again?
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing… Timeless Toni Storm.
Seattle cheers as Toni Noir stands on stage. “Mercedes Mone…” The fans boo that name. “I am disappointed in you. Three weeks ago, you shook my hand and said we would have the biggest women’s match of all time. And since then, you have been eating steak, playing on your telephone, and trying to kiss me. And now, you are still in Mexico because you have won yet another title.” The fans boo that, too. “Is that all I am to you? Is that all this is to you? Another trophy for your shelf? Another toy for your collection? Now, I want to say this as nicely as possible. Mercedes, I am not some other mother-effer.
“I am TIMELESS Toni Storm! I am the AEW Women’s World Champion! And if you make one false move, I am going to eat you alive!” The fans cheer that! “I demand your best, Mercedes, because that is what you are. One day, my reign will be over.” The fans don’t like the sound of that, but Toni says there is no one more deserving than Mone. “The day I met you, I knew what you were destined to be. You were the first woman to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome, Wembley Stadium AND Arena Mexico… But I was the last woman to wrestle at the Wodonga Sports & Leisure Center before it got closed down for a cockroach infestation.”
The fans cheer that last part, and Toni says she sincerely believes that Mone is the greatest of all time. Toni is not, nor was she ever meant to be. For she is a “manic, neurotic, erotic, sexually questionable, consistently sweating, bottom heavy, transatlantic whore!” The fans still cheer for her, and Toni says when this belt is upon her bosom, she makes magic happen! So unless Mone plans on pulling a rabbit out of her ass, Toni highly doubts Mone can say the same! At All In, in front of the entire world, and all those little girls watching at home, Mone will look Toni in the eye, and she will realize that Toni only has to beat Mone while Mone will have to KILL Toni!
The fans cheer Toni as the spotlight fades out to black. Will All In: Texas be yet another instant classic in Toni’s already timeless career?
Mixed Six Tag: Holo.grm, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale VS #MXMTV!
Undefeated at 25-0 and now 4 million Pesos richer, the futuristic luchador now conglomerates with the Sussex County Chicken and the Babe with the Power! But will this change in the line up keep things fresh against Mansoor, Mason Madden y Taya Valkyrie? Or will MXM TV serve Hologram his first taste of bitter defeat?
The trios sort out and it is ladies first as Willow circles with Taya. They tie up, Taya waistlocks and shoves, then she soaks up the heat while she struts. Willow kicks Taya in the butt!

Taya dodges, stomps away, but the ref counts. Taya stops at 4, whips corner to corner, but Willow cartwheels! Willow comes back to CLOBBER Taya, then she runs to SPLASH! Cover, ONE! Willow tags Hologram and Taya tags Mason! Hologram and Mason tie up, and Mason THROWS Hologram!
The fans boo but MXM celebrates like they did something. Mason swings on Briscoe & Willow but they both get clear. The fans boo Mason but Hologram DROPKICKS Mason!

Mason drags Hologram up, puts him back in the ring, and Johnny TV taunts Briscoe & Willow. Mason drags Hologram back out so he can CLUB him down. The ref reprimands, Mason drags Hologram back up and SMACKS him off the apron. And then throws him into railing! Taya soaks up the heat while she vogues, and Mason refreshes the ring count. That just lets Mr. & Mrs. TV stomp away on Hologram! They stop as Mason goes back out to fetch Hologram. Willow & Briscoe back the rest of them off while Hologram is in the ring. Mansoor tags in, he whips for Mason to scoop, and they CAT WALK LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!
Mansoor keeps Hologram down with a Camel Clutch, but Hologram endures. Mansoor stomps away on Hologram into the corner, but stops as the ref counts. Mason gets a cheap shot in while Mansoor argues with the ref! Johnny does, too! Mansoor drags Hologram to an ELBOW DROP, then covers, TWO! Mansoor drags Hologram over, tags Mason, and Mansoor holds Hologram down for Mason to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mason drags Hologram back up, throat chops him, then tags Taya. Taya mugs Hologram with Mansoor’s help, then tags Mansoor. The ref reprimand but Mansoor stomps Hologram around.
Collision returns to single picture and Mason tags in. Mason sets up at the ropes, and Mansoor CATAPULTS Hologram into the hips! The Mahogany Hunk poses, Johnny joins in, but the fans boo.

Winners: Hologram, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
New amigos but still undefeated, Hologram is feeling what it’s like to conglomerate! Will nothing stop them from building momentum towards title opportunities?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and brings up the big win for Willow’s team. Kris asks if they’re really doing this. Every single week! Yes, everyone loves Willow. But when is Kris going to get a chance? In the All-Star 8 Woman Tag? Uh, uh, didn’t think so. So if you think she’s going to stand here and talk about how important everyone else is, you’re dead wrong! But then Yuta walks over and says he hates to say he told her so… Kris tells Yuta to shut his grimy little mouth! She knows who he is and what this is! If he thinks she wants any part of this, get out of her face! Yuta tries to talk her down but Kris SHOVES him down! And then Moxley steps in.
Moxley picks up Kris’ phone for her, but tells her to never, ever, let anyone else tell you who you are or what you’re worth. Moxley hands Kris her phone, and Kris is rather shaken. But did Moxley just encourage someone? And will Kris Statlander follow his advice to go out and take what she deserves?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone asks Seattle to please welcome… Don Callis. The fans boo as The Jackal walks out here, accompanied by Josh Alexander & Lance Archer. They join Schiavone in the ring and Callis stops Schiavone already. He has a very special announcement! He would like to introduce to us the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan! Better than Rikidozan, than Inoki, than Muta, than Tanahashi… the NEWEST member of the Don Callis Family, the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada! The fans boo even more as the Continental Champion makes his way out to the ring. Okada shakes hands with Callis, and Callis interrupts Schiavone again.
Callis says that he and Okada would like to show everyone some very special footage. Roll the tape! The tape is of course the last time we saw these two, and the horrible trap they had set for Kenny Omega. Schiavone says that was one of the most despicable things in wrestling history! Callis says you can almost smell the diverticulitis coming outta Omega’s mouth! Schiavone says how dare Callis laugh at someone coughing up blood! What is wrong with him!? Callis says he is sick and tired of Schiavone coming out here and talking bad about him and Okada and the Callis Family, “like the sleezy feline that you are!”
But Callis and his family are here to talk about Kenny Omega! “Kenny, how does it feel to know that your greatest opponent, Okada, and the man who knows all your weaknesses, Don Callis, have teamed up against you?! I know, Kenny, you’re laying in a hospital bed right now…” The fans tell Callis to STFU but Callis just talks louder. Omega surely has tubes coming outta his guts, with a colostomy bag hanging out the side! Omega won’t even make it to All In! But IF Omega does make it there, and wrestles the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan, then Omega needs to know that he will truly be alone.
Omega destroyed his friendship with the Young Bucks, with Callis, and is alone in this world with not even one friend left! But then out steps Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as The Chicken tells Callis, “My Lord, would you PLEASE shut the hell up!? You sound stupid, you weird lookin’ bastard! You say Kenny has no friends? Well sheesh, I’ll be damned, I’m his friend! But y’know what? I’m not his only friend.” Because KOTA IBUSHI IS HERE! The fans go nuts seeing the Golden Star return to AEW! Archer rushes them, but Briscoe attacks first! That lets Ibushi strut right up to the Walking Weapon in the ring!
The fans fire up as Ibushi dodges Alexander, then fires off a strike fest! Alexander ducks a kick, Ibushi ducks the rolling elbow, and Ibushi ROUNDHOUSES Alexander down! The fans fire up while Callis freaks out, but now Ibushi and Okada are alone in the ring. The fans go nuts already as Golden Star and Rainmaker stare down. Okada fires a forearm, but Ibushi fires back! Okada UPPERCUTS, but Ibushi fires off a strike fest! SOBAT and ROUNDHOUSE! Okada falls and he scurries out of the ring! Callis is there, and he gets his new moneymaker outta there! Will Ibushi make sure Omega gets a fair shake in Texas?
Collision returns to a brawl!
Apparently, the Workhorsemen got into it with Big Bill & Bryan Keith in the back, and now it has spilled out to ringside! JD Drake & Anthony Henry have the advantage as they use chairs on the Redwood & Bad Apple! Henry sits Keith in a corner of the railing, then runs around the way! But Bill BOOTS him down! The fans are fired up, but then Drake CLUBS Bill! But Keith SMACKS Drake with a chair! Keith shouts for Bill to get ’em! Bill stands Drake up, SMACKS him off steel steps, then Keith SMACKS Drake off steps! And repeat! Keith stomps Henry, SMACKS Drake off steps, and then Bill SMACKS Drake off steps!
Henry shields Drake but that just gets him a CLUBBING forearm! Keith sets chairs up together, Bill SMACKS Henry off steps, and Keith has Bill haul Henry up. Bill gives Henry a SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMÂ onto the chairs!! Henry falls in a heap with all that steel, and Bill wants a mic! Wait, now Christian Cage wants to be out here? The fans are fired up either way as Captain Charisma leads The Patriarchy out here. “Seattle… Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business!” The fans boo instead. Christian says they know it and he knows it. The only good things to ever come outta Washington are Mother Shayna and Nick Wayne! So again, show some damn respect!
The fans boo more, and Christian tells Bill & Keith that Christian likes a good backstage brawl as much as the next guy. But when it spills out to ringside and takes away from his air time, then he has a problem. Especially when he was coming out here to make a huge announcement. But hey, maybe they should stand there and listen with the rest of these “sweat hogs,” because this is a pretty damn good announcement. Now, it is no secret that these past couple months, his son, Nick Wayne, has been wrestling at a godlike pace! The fans cheer for Nick, but Christian tells them to shut their mouths while he’s talking!
But believe him when he tells you, that has everything to do with Christian’s guidance. Yet, there are still those who have the audacity to mistake friction for building toughness. But the proof speaks for itself! Nick stands here as the youngest champion this company has ever seen! So why stop there? Why not keep going? Why not make more history? Time for Christian’s son to walk beside him instead of behind him! Time he and Nick embark on a journey that takes them to the top! That sees them become the first-ever father-and-son AEW World Tag Team Champions! The fans are torn on that, but Nick smiles as Christian pats him on the shoulder.
Bill says, “Sorry, did you say that that is your son? Maybe your adopted son. Because if all the things that I’ve heard about Mama Wayne are true… That kid’s real father could be literally anybody. It could be that guy right there! Or what about that guy right there? Oh, oh, wait a second, dead ringer! Dead ringer! Oh my God, that could be your father right there! There he is!” The fans cheer but Bill says if they don’t like what he is saying, then how about Christian come down to the ring to do this right here. Christian says first of all, there is nothing of the sort happening here in Seattle. The fans boo and he asks if they wanna see it.
Well, here’s a question, Big Bill. Is that you talking or is that the bottle talking? Did he fall off the wagon this weekend? Go on a bit of a bender? Maybe he fried too many braincells because he clearly doesn’t know who he’s talking to. Bill doesn’t call the shots, Christian does! He is the Patriarch and this is his Patriarchy! He IS the Face of TNT now and forever! The fans boo but The Patriarchy steps away. Will Bill & Keith take them down all the same?
AEW shares footage from after Summer Blockbuster.
Anthony Bowens was in a bad mood but Billy Gunn wanted to talk things out. Lexy Nair caught up with them first and Billy has “Brittney Spears” hold on. In Lexy’s defense, that outfit really is classic Brittney. But anyway, Daddy Ass tells Bowens it will be a struggle. Bowens says Billy is supposed to be helping him get better. Does he want Bowens to end up like Max Caster? Billy says he got hit in the face by Lance Archer! Well, that’s not on Bowens. They need to get their act together, because Bowens is the Pride of Pro-Wrestling, he needs to climb the ladder in AEW, and he needs to win. Billy says he knows that. What can Daddy Ass do to help Bowens finally hit some homeruns?
Ricochet is here!
The One & Only still wants to assemble a dream team that can help him achieve his dreams, but he rejected Blake Christian & Lee Johnson, the only guys who actually came to see him about it. Is he thinking of recruiting someone from this next match?
JetSpeed VS The Gates of Agony!
Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been plotting their own course to titles, namely the AEW World Tag Team Championships. They need to prove themselves to the Hurt Syndicate, can they do that here in Seattle? Or will Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona slam the gates shut on those flight plans?
The bell rings and Speedball starts against Kaun. The fans rally, Kaun rushes up but Bailey dodges. Bailey headlocks, Kaun powers up and out and he RUNS Bailey over! Bailey kips up, then dodges Kaun and hurdles over. Bailey drops down, DROPKICKS Kaun, but Liona tags in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Ricochet vents about losing out on the 4 million Pesos, he blames Lio Rush, and he crosses off CRU as candidates for his crew. Liona TOSSES Bailey to a corner, fires fast hands, but the ref counts. Liona steps on Bailey, steps off, and then drags Bailey up. Tag to Kaun and the Gates double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, but Bailey lands through!
Bailey dodges lariats and hot tags Knight! The fans fire up as Knight springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG Kaun! Liona runs up, Knight dodges, but Liona blocks the arm-drag! Liona YANKS Knight up but Knight DROPKICKS Liona out! The fans fire up with Knight, and he scoops Kaun to SLAM! But Liona grabs Knight by his hair! Knight PELES Liona, then says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASHÂ but onto knees! Kaun turns things around, Ricochet says that’s smart. Kaun whips Knight into railing, into the apron, and back into railing! Kaun then brings KNight all the way around to send into the LED barriers!
The fans boo but Ricochet applauds. Bailey aims at Kaun and PLANCHAS, but Liona BLASTS Bailey outta the air! Ricochet likes that even more! He applauds, Liona pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and the Gates go back to the ring while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Gates soak up heat, then Kaun puts Knight in the ring. Liona is there to CLOBBER Knight and cover, TWO! Liona drags Knight into a shoulder claw! Knight endures as Liona leans on him, then he fights up. Knight JAWBREAKERS free, then runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him back down! Liona drags Knight up, puts him in the corner and tags Kaun. The Gates double whip, then double hip toss into the DOUBLE SLAM! Kaun covers, TWO! Knight stays in this but Kaun stomps Knight around. Kaun then drags Knight up to put in a corner for more stomps. Kaun fires fast hands, then more stomps, but stops as the ref counts.
Kaun argues with the ref and that lets Liona get a cheap shot in! Kaun drags Knight up while Bailey protests, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Kaun has Knight up top. Knight fires hands in return but so does Kaun. Knight ROCKS Kaun, goes up, and he FLYING LARIATS! Down goes Kaun but both men are down, and the fans fire up! Kaun and Knight crawl, hot tag to Bailey! Bailey goes up top and he MISSILE DROPKICKS! Kaun tumbles, the fans cheer, and Bailey SOBATS, AX KICKS, and BUZZSAWS! Kaun sputters, Bailey runs, SHOOTING STARÂ misses as Kaun moves! Kaun stands Bailey up but Bailey wrenches to fire LIGHTNING KICKS! Kaun goes to a corner, Bailey runs up, but Kaun ELBOWS him! Kaun goes up, but Bailey GAMANGIRIS!
Bailey goes up, Liona is after him, but Bailey elbows him away! Kaun SHOVES Bailey but Bailey backflips through! Liona runs in, Bailey dodges, Liona goes up and out with his splash!

Bailey puts Kaun in the ring, calls to Knight, but Liona YANKS Knight down from the apron! Only for Knight to send him into the steel steps! Kaun SPLASHES Bailey, suplexes, and RUNNING BRAINBUSTER! Fireman’s carry, FALL FROM MOUNT OKU!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans are thunderous and Ricochet is frustrated, but Kaun underhooks! Only for Bailey to backdrop! STANDING MOONSAULT KNEEDROP! And then the TIME ADVENTURE!! Tag to Knight while Bailey hits the GOLDEN TRIANGLE on Liona! Ricochet says this is all cheating! Knight hits the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, JETSPEED WINS!
Winners: JetSpeed, by pinfall
Ricochet is beside himself, but Knight & Bailey have brought down former ROH World Tag Team & ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions! Is this more than enough to earn their shot at Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin? Will Ricochet have to look elsewhere for henchmen?
8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
We heard from both sides of this all-star main event, but now it is time to back up those words. Will La Mera Mera, the Queen, the Blackbelt and the Star of the Show prove theirs is the winning combination? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, the ROH Gatekeeper, the FOREVER ROH Women’s World Champion (all Athena’s nicknames) lead her team to victory?
The teams stare down, and then Athena throws the first punch! She brawls with Rosa, Thekla attacks Anna and Megan has Tay, leaving Aminata to stare down with Ford. The bell rings, Aminata and Ford start pushing, and then they start throwing forearms! Ford gets the edge, whips, but Aminata reverses. Ford wheelbarrows, victory rolls, but Aminata rolls through. Ford still runs up to DROPKICK Aminata against ropes! Ford fireman’s carries, but Aminata slips free to snapmare and wrap on the headscissors! CHOCOLATE KISSES~! But Megan stops that with a waistlock and SLAM! But TayJay DOUBLE SUPERKICK!
Thekla CLOBBERS Tay and throws her out! The brawl starts up again, and Athena meets Rosa on the apron! They fire forearms, Rosa fires the back suplex, but then Athena fights off one in return. Aminata ROCKS Athena, Ford BLASTS Rosa, and they stare down again. Ford and Aminata each dare the other to go up, so they go up! The others brawl in a cluster, Ford and Aminata are up on the very top! They both SUPER DUPER MOONSAULT! The fans fire up as everyone goes down, and Collision goes picture in picture!
Ford drags Aminata up to POST her! Megan makes her way into the ring, she has Aminata for a BEARHUG, then RAMS her into a corner! And RAMS and RAMS and RAMS again! The ref reprimands, Megan CHOPS Aminata, then Ford handsprings in for a BACK ELBOW! Ford goes side to side to tag Athena, and then Athena runs in and handspring FOREARMS! Athena whips Aminata to Megan for the BACKDROP! Athena then drags Aminata up to CLUB her down! Athena rains down fists, the ref backs her off, and Athena tells Posey to back off! Same ol’ Athena… Athena drags Aminata up but Aminata ROCKS her!
Aminata hurries, hot tag to Anna! Anna runs up but Athena wrenches her. Anna wrenches back to HOOK KICK! Anna whips Athena to a corner, runs and LEG LARIATS! Anna reels Athena in, but Thekla attacks! But then Rosa goes after Thekla! But then Ford joins in, and then so does Tay! Megan and Aminata also get in there, and now it is a 4v4 battle for control! They go back and forth, fighting off suplex again and again. Both sides get frustrated and break off, then Tay & Rosa DOUBLE SUPERKICK Thekla & Ford! Aminata and Anna end up in fireman’s carries, and then Megan and Athena add Rosa and Tay! DOUBLE SAMOAN DROP FALL AWAY SLAM COMBOS!!

Winners: Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, by pinfall
The Chef says, “You’re welcome.” The ROH Women’s World Television Champion is going to team with the ROH Women’s World Champion for ROH Global Wars: Mexico, was this just an appetizer for how that’s going to go? Will this win help Thekla, Megan & Ford also find their way to some golden opportunities?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, especially as a follow-up to Grand Slam: Mexico while also helping build Global Wars: Mexico. The All-Star 8 Woman was a great main event, but it sure got the short end of the stick when it came to time. I’m not sure if something went long, but it also feels like AEW relies too much on TNT giving them overrun. Red Velvet helping Athena win was a nice touch, given their tag match against Rosa and Persephone. That match happened in reality already but they gotta keep the kayfabe alive. Though, that’s going to be a busy Thursday with Collision being pushed off Saturday, again.
Great promos to hype up the All-Star 8 Man, and that was a great match, too. The Heels winning makes sense there, too, as Kyle needs momentum before he challenges Cole again, and it adds more heat onto FTR. The Outrunners going after FTR was a nice touch, because A) they’re amigos with Bandido and B) they were friends with FTR like Garcia, so now it is The Outrunners’ turn to settle things with Dax & Cash. Bill & Keith have a good brawl with the Workhorsemen, but I’m a little surprised that’s all we got from them before bringing out The Patriarchy. I almost thought Christian Cage was going to name Kip as his tag partner, but I feel like he wants it to be Nick so he can keep Nick close, and possibly leave him hanging at some point.
Great opening match from Moxley with Fox, but of course Moxley wins and then sends a message to Hangman. And it is definitely a case of “Mox Fears Hangman” for him to talk all tough when he knows Hangman isn’t in Seattle yet. Great match from Swerve VS Shane, especially with all the shenanigans going on ringside. Great win for Swerve, and I guess technically Nana, too. Very good promo from Bowens and Billy to show there is some tension between them now. It is mostly Bowens’ frustrations making him lash out, but I wonder if Bowens starts to distance himself from Billy to truly be a solo act now.
Great to see Ibushi back in AEW, and great tease of Ibushi VS Okada. I suspect Briscoe and Ibushi will team up against Alexander & Archer, and that can help lead to Omega’s return from the “devastating” attack to have some final math on the Omega VS Okada dream rematch. And if Ibushi sticks around, that brings in some intrigue on whether or not we get Golden Lovers back together. I could see either story happening, where Golden Lovers go for a Two Man Power Trip kind of run, getting gold together. But I could also see them being friendly rivals, competing over the same title(s), especially with the “Unified Championship” bringing Continental and International Championship “divisions” together.
Good promo from Mone and a great promo from Toni to hype up their match, but we’ve still got time before there’s any real go-home math. But I said it before so I’ll say it again: It’s called “All In,” so whatever belts Mone has by All In, Mone should go ALL IN with her belts against Toni. Now obviously Mone has no reason to, and Heels never want to “put up or shut up,” but if Toni goads her into putting her money where her mouth is, maybe Mone does it out of anger. And honestly, if Toni wins at All In, wouldn’t she then be owed a match for any number of Mone’s titles anyway? AEW makes good use of the rule that pinning a champ earns a title match, so just cut to the chase.
Very fun Mixed Six with Hologram joining Briscoe & Willow as perhaps the newest member of Conglomeration. But at some point, Hologram needs to win a title or his streak means nothing. Good promo from Kris after that match and how she shoved Yuta. Kris being afraid of Moxley at first was a nice touch, since we’ve seen Mox makes no qualms about hitting a woman wrestler (namely Willow) with a cutter. But then Moxley actually adds to Yuta’s recruitment attempts by being nice to Kris. It makes me wonder if Kris becomes a Death Rider, and maybe the Women’s Division becomes the group’s next phase. Honestly, if not for Mone collecting belts and what not, Marina should’ve gotten a title shot herself by now.
And a great tag match of JetSpeed VS Gates of Agony. I guess with nothing else for them, the Gates defaulted back to being Heels. Ricochet was good on commentary, and as I figured, his story of finding faction members is failing because his standards are too high and he as a personality is too sensitive to put grudges aside. CRU was the right choice to me but then he said no thanks cuz of that Pesos match. As for JetSpeed, they will certainly get that tag title match with Hurt Syndicate, but I feel like MJF will be why the Hurt Syndicate retains.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin!

14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!
Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son.

But Dax attacks anyway! What a sore loser! But Arena Mexico doesn’t seem to care?! Junior and the other luchadores run Dax off, and Stokely says keep them back! Will things just have to end here? Or will both father and son get payback on FTR soon enough?
Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!
The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?
The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.
Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe! The fans are torn as Okada CLUBS away. Okada fires forearms, storms up to stomp Briscoe in the corner, and then ELBOWS him! The fans are torn but Okada brings Briscoe around for a BIG back suplex. But Briscoe lands out, and hits the Crane Stance! Okada takes a swing, Briscoe ducks, and Briscoe CHOPS!
Briscoe whips, Okada reverses, but Briscoe slides under the boot! Crane Stance! Crane feint, then the CRANE KICK! The fans fire up as Briscoe stands up in his Redneck Kung-Fu stance. Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.
Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.
Okada waits while Briscoe is down and out. A ring count starts, Briscoe stirs, but then Okada goes out to fetch Briscoe. Briscoe fires body shots but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Okada leaves Briscoe behind and the ring count starts again. Briscoe rises up, leans on commentary, and he tells Callis off before he goes to the ring at 6 of 10. Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low! Okada ELBOWS Briscoe, whips corner to corner, then runs in and ELBOWS Briscoe down! Okada paces while soaking up cheers and jeers.
Okada goes back to Briscoe and drags him up. Okada reels Briscoe in, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Briscoe is still in this and he rises up.

The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game! Hangman storms out here, unintentionally saving Swerve, and he glares at Moxley. The fans fire up as Hangman throws off his jacket and rushes the ring!

Moxley kicks low! Moxley whips but Hangman goes to the apron! Moxley waits, Hangman slingshots, but then Moxley dodges! BUCKSHOT on Matt! Well, it did hit a Buck, and Nick asks wtf! Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
