“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!

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!

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.

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone & Kamille.
Renee Paquette meets The CEO & Brickhouse just outside their locker room and wants to talk the TBS Championship defense against Kris Statlander. Mone rolls her eyes and says yes, she knows. But don’t even ask about a question before you know what’s up. “Bridgeport~! Say hello to your C E O.” Okay, well, to the point, Mone & Kamille tried to run Kris over with their car. What?! That was NOT Mone’s fault, Kamille cannot drive. Mone pushes her pink coat into Kamille, who drops it because of her bad arm. Mone gets mad at Kamille for dropping her 20 THOUSAND DOLLAR jacket and tells her to put it in the locker room.
Mone says Kamille’s incompetence is stressing her out. But so is Statlander. Mone is not afraid of her, did you not see Collision? Mone put Kris in the Statement Maker and made her beg for mercy! That is just a little preview of what’s to come. Now, Mone has to get ready for the show and- KRIS IS HERE! Mone freaks out, Kamille looks in the hall to see what’s going on, and Kris THROWS her into a wall! Kris stalks Mone, Mone hits back and they brawl in the hall! Kris picks Money up, Kamille grabs Mone, Mone CLAWS Kris’s eyes! Kris TACKLES them both through a wall!! Was THAT a preview of what’s gonna happen when the gold is on the line?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
AEW returns as Schiavone welcomes in the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay! The fans fire up as Ospreay makes his entrance, feeling much better after his big return last week. Schiavone says Ospreay is of course focused on getting the International Championship back, which is owned by Konosuke Takeshita and all but stolen from him. But surely, Ospreay’s mind is also on Don Callis and what’s going on with his old friend, Kyle Fletcher. Ospreay says he doesn’t really know. He has a lot of questions he needs answers for. Ospreay thanks the fans for the singing, but he says the title is second for right now.
So if Schiavone doesn’t mind, Ospreay’s gonna call out Fletcher and they’ll have a chat. Schiavone steps aside and here comes The Protostar already! Kyle stares Ospreay down as he stands on stage, and Kyle tells Ospreay that the Family begged Kyle not to do this on his own. But Kyle wants to prove he is not a coward, unlike Ospreay. Because weeks ago, Kyle called Ospreay out and yet Ospreay would rather sit at home and lick his wounds than show up for the people. So Kyle is here face to face, man to man, and wants Ospreay to know the Family is never far behind. So much as lay a finger on him, and Ospreay will be sent home for a lot longer than three weeks this time.
That said, what does Ospreay wanna talk about? Ospreay says hang on a minute. He’s been in the Don Callis Family meetings. Surely Kyle has something in his back pocket. Whatever it is, get it out of there. Ospreay promises he won’t touch Kyle, he just wants to talk. Kyle brings out the screwdriver! And he tosses it to the feet of Ospreay. Ospreay picks it up, and throws it down on the floor. It sticks right in the mat! Kyle asks if Ospreay is happy, and Ospreay says not really. He’s looking at someone he used to call a brother, and is starting to feel hatred and anger. Kyle lived in Ospreay’s house! And while in Australia during Pandemic, Kyle was working in a warehouse going stir crazy.
Ospreay let Kyle live with Ospreay, he joined The United Empire. Ospreay, Kyle and Mark Davis took over Japan, England, and obviously Ospreay opened the door to Kyle here in AEW. This is what annoys Ospreay: Kyle knows everything about Ospreay. From where he goes to the gym, to where he lives. Kyle’s been with Ospreay to go pick up his son from school. That frightens the Missus, it upsets Ospreay, so Ospreay wants answers. Ospreay wants them from Kyle’s mouth. Kyle says surprise surprise, Ospreay is taking credit for someone else’s success. Callis only opened Kyle’s eyes to the truth.
The fans boo but Kyle says while Ospreay did all that, from shelter to food, who was Ospreay really doing that for? For Kyle? No, Ospreay was doing it for Ospreay. Everything Ospreay does is about Ospreay! Ospreay wanted to mold Kyle into a Ospreay clone so he could succeed, but never as much as Ospreay. Ospreay is selfish and hypocritical! Fans call BS but Kyle says he did exactly what Ospreay would’ve done in his shoes! From Okada to Omega, Ospreay would’ve done the exact same thing! Oh get over yourself! The last time Ospreay saw Kyle, Ospreay was on the couch with his little boy, watching Kyle shaving his head, shouting on about how he’s nothing like Ospreay.
So now, Kyle is bringing up Ospreay’s past and saying Kyle is doing the same? Pick a lane, son! Are you nothing like Ospreay? Or are you a clone? But you wanna bring up the past? Fine! Ospreay will own it. He stabbed Okada in the back, stabbed Omega in the back, but before all that, he was a THREE-TIME IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion! A TWO-TIME Best of the Super Junior winner! Every continent he’s been on, Ospreay has held gold! So tell Ospreay, Kyle, what have you done!? And do NOT use Aussie Open. What has KYLE FLETCHER done?! SOD ALL, lad!
Ospreay wants to know what Kyle has done? How about what he’s going to do? Kyle will surpass Ospreay and every single accomplishment he’s ever had. And Kyle will prove it at Full Gear! November 23rd, live on PAY PER VIEW, Fletcher VS Ospreay! The fans do like the sound of that. Ospreay says there it is, that’s what this has been all about. Kyle wants his five minutes of fame! He wants his PPV match! Well look no further, lad! Because around these parts, Ospreay is Mr. PPV! Since Ospreay’s been here, there have been four different world champs, and none of them can match what Ospreay can do!
The fans fire up as Ospreay says if Kyle wants the match, then CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! And let Ospreay tell Kyle why this will be so sweet. When Kyle shaved his head, Ospreay sitting there with his six year old son, Kyle does not know the damage he did. This left hand could barely feel anything anymore. And after Kyle shaved his head, Ospreay’s son was holding his hand, and Ospreay didn’t even know it until he looked down! KYLE did that to Ospreay. Kyle took that from Ospreay and Ospreay’s son. So this is a nice little carrot: Full Gear, 11/23/24. And now Ospreay will be the one to take THAT from Kyle!
Kyle says if you think that Tiger Driver and the screwdriver stab were bad, Kyle isn’t coming for a piece, but he’s coming for it all! But let’s see what condition Ospreay shows up to Full Gear in. Oh, now Kyle’s got friends? Brian Cage & Lance Archer step up, but Ospreay says no worries. He’s got friends, too! Will Hobbs & Mark Davis step in! The fans fire up. Ospreay asks if we’re standing around like a-holes or are we gonna fight? And so they fight! The fans fire up as we get Ospreay and Kyle, Hobbs and Cage, then Mark and Archer! Mark puts Archer in a corner, Kyle does the same with Ospreay, and they turn around to see each other!
The fans fire up as Aussie Open jaws at each other. Ospreay BOOTS Kyle, Mark sighs, but then Ospreay PLANCHAS out onto Kyle! Archer DECKS Davis! Ospreay and Kyle brawl up the ramp, as do Cage and Hobbs! But wait! HERE COMES Roderick Strong! Archer goes up to the ramp, but Roddy comes in from around the way! KENDO STICK SMACK! Roddy’s ready for that Falls Count Anywhere! The bell rings now, this match is happening NOW!
Falls Count Anywhere: Roderick Strong VS Lance Archer!

Roddy lets off while the fans fire up, but Brian Cage returns! The Machine CLOBBERS Roddy, now this is a 2v1 match! The fans boo but Cage reels Roddy in. Roddy fights the bomb, but Archer choke grips! Roddy flails, here comes The Kingdom! The fans fire up as Taven & Bennett turn the tides! Bennett has Cage, Taven helps Roddy with Archer.

At Full Gear, this all ends, and I’m gonna finish your ass!” But wait! KONOSUKE TAKESHITA ATTACKS! The Alpha makes sure Roddy is in no good shape to face MJF! But wait! Here comes Adam Cole! The other part of this equation is now in play! Will the Panama City Playboy make things much worse for Max in Newark? Cole runs up, dodges Takeshita and then fires hands!

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Renee welcomes in Shelton Benjamin, Montel Vontavious Porter & “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley. Renee says in just over a week, Full Gear, Lashley has his first AEW match against Swerve Strickland. Swerve is perhaps the most dangerous man in all of pro-wrestling today, and one of the most decorated champions we’ve had in AEW. Does Lashley feel prepared for- MVP interrupts and asks where Renee got her journalism degree. No, don’t answer that. MVP will take this from here. Lashley, you are without question the most indominable force in pro-wrestling today, one of the most decorated champions in the history of this sport!
How does it feel to know that in less than two weeks, he may end young Swerve’s career? Lashley tells Renee that Swerve is dangerous to everyone else. But Lashley will make an example out of Swerve. Lashley will hurt Swerve. MVP says you heard it from Lashley himself. Swerve will be in action later on tonight, and The Hurt Syndicate will be watching. That’s how it’s done. Renee thanks MVP and the Hurt Syndicate for their time, but will Lio Rush prove to everyone that he is the Man of the Hour?
The Death Riders are attacking!
Claudio Castagnoli SMACKS JD Drake on the back with a chair! Then he hands said chair to Wheeler Yuta, and Yuta SAMCKS JD! And then SMACKS him again! And here comes Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir. Yuta & Claudio leave Scrap Metal behind to walk down the ramp while Moxley & Marina walk in from the crowd. They all meet at the ring, and Marina even intimidates a cameraman into the ring! The fans are torn but Moxley ahs a mic. “I’ve been thinking about Orange Cassidy a lot these last few days. He’s playing the game very well. Chuck Taylor is drinking his food through a straw because you couldn’t save him.
“Wheeler Yuta belongs in me, believes in me, because you couldn’t save him. And you’re undeterred. Hands in your pockets, eyes on the prize, Orange Cassidy, you have the chance of a lifetime on November 23rd. A shot at the AEW World Championship. All your friends, all your fans, all your peers, are depending on you. That pressure is building, and you’re cool as a cucumber. So I have to make an example out of Orange Cassidy at Full Gear on November 23rd, and I will make an example out of you at Full Gear, Orange Cassidy. I’m gonna brutalize Orange Cassidy! I’m gonna stomp his face into hamburger meat. I’ll mutilate him so bad, his own mother won’t recognize him.
“And everybody will see that. Everyone who wants to call themselves a contender, everybody who thinks they wanna be somebody in this business will see that, and they will run and hide! And we will continue to do whatever the hell we want in AEW, because I command the AEW Championship, and WE have the power!” The fans boo, but here comes Cassidy! The fans fire up as Freshly Squeezed steps out on stage, mic in hand. The fans cheer Cassidy on, but he’s not alone! Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero are here! Cassidy says, “Hello. See, I wanted to come out here and let you know, Jon, that I agree with you. I believe you.
“I believe you can do all the things you say you’re gonna do, and it’s because of what’s in that briefcase. See, you hold the symbol that represents AEW. That represents me, that represents us, represents all of these people. It represents everything professional wrestling can be. It’s the power. You hold the AEW World Championship. But see, we could fight all around this building, we could fight in the parking lot, we could fight in catering. It doesn’t matter, because the only way you become AEW World Champion is by wrestling. And for a guy who doesn’t like to wrestle, I wrestle more than anybody else here.
“And I’m pretty good at it, too, because, uh… I beat you, remember that?” The fans cheer and Cassidy says at Full Gear, he and Moxley will wrestle, and Cassidy will beat Moxley again. Then Cassidy takes the power back. Moxley said a couple years ago that while everyone else was playing checkers, Cassidy and Moxley were playing chess. There are still some pawns that Cassidy has to get rid of. One in particular is Wheeler Yuta. Next week, Cassidy and Yuta will wrestle, and Cassidy will remove the pawn that lets him take the king. Yuta says he is no one’s pawn, but Claudio tells him to stop talking.
Moxley says if Cassidy wants Yuta next week, we’ll see if Cassidy has the guts to pull the trigger on someone he thought was his friend. Either way, at Full Gear, Moxley only has one message for Cassidy, for his friends, and for anyone else who wants what he has. November 23rd, abandon all hope! The Maniac now leads his Death Riders away into the night. Will Moxley be on top of AEW then, now and forever? Or will- WAIT, someone in a Sting mask jumps from the vomitorium and CLOBBERS Moxley, Yuta & Claudio! It’s DARBY! Darby Allin fires hands on Claudio, Yuta goes after Darby, and now Conglomeration joins in!
The fans fire up as the brawl goes into the hallway! Yuta has Cassidy in a SLEEPER! Marina escorts Moxley away while Claudio drags Darby into the back! Conglomeration focuses on helping Cassidy and Darby, but our cameras follow Moxley. Moxley and Marina get in their truck, Claudio has caught up, but where’s Yuta? Too late, the truck takes off! Wait, Darby LEAPS into the truck bed! The truck stops, Claudio gets out to go after Darby and the brawl is on again! Claudio RAMS Darby into the side of the truck, then all the way into the garage door! Claudio SWINGS Darby around, and back into the garage door!
The Swiss Superman leaves Darby behind, but the Death Riders barely wait for Yuta to hop in the back before taking off again. Darby shouts, “Where’re you going, Claudio!? I’m still standing!” Darby leans against the garage door, Cassidy & Mark help him back up. The Death Riders have fled into the night, but will they make sure to stay away until Full Gear?
Backstage interview with The Learning Tree.
Renee is now with Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey as she brings up Tomohiro Ishii officially challenging Jericho for the ROH World Championship. It will be in two weeks, Dynamite in Chicago, will Jericho accept? Bill says, “Challenge? As the Learning Tree always says, a person’s true self is not seen in moments of glory, but in moments of hardship and challenge.” Jericho says, “Well said, Redwood. And thanks, Renee. Ishii, I’ve got a soft spot for you because we’ve known each other for almost 30 years, ever since we were both working for Genshiro Tenryu in WAR in Japan.
“Albeit, I was a huge main event star, and you were nothing more than a rookie, a Young Boy. You used to get me coffee, carry my bags, and even wash my back in the shower. Hahaha! But Ishii, you’ve gone on to become one of the toughest and best pro-wrestlers in the world. I should know, because it was only two years ago that we had a classic match, one of my favorite in AEW, and one of the toughest I’ve ever had, also in Chicago. So it’s only apropos that in two weeks on Dynamite, we’re gonna face each other. I do accept your challenge, Ishii, for the ROH World Championship, Jericho VS Ishii.
“But I’ve gone on to bigger and better things, as well. Because now, I’ve become the Nueve.” Jericho, Keith & Bill all hold up nine fingers. Jericho reminds us he is a NINE-TIME world champion, and a TWO-TIME ROH World Champion. So now, Jericho will invoke the glory and courage of great ROH champions of the past, like Jay Briscoe. And he’ll do that while teaching Ishii a lesson that he won’t forget, ever again. Keith says in the Windy City, Jericho blows Ishii’s dumb ass away! Jericho says truer words have never been spoken. Thanks, guys! But will Jericho have very little to be thankful after the Stone Pitbull takes a bite out of him?

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is with the returning Fighting Gravure Idol and says it is so great to have her back. Is Mina here to see Mariah May? Mina says she is so excited to watch Mariah May VS Anna Jay Round 3 on Collision, so excited to see Mariah win again, and is now looking forward to their big champagne celebration~! But as Mina holds the glass out to Renee, Harley Cameron steps in, snatches the glass, and chugs it in one go! Harley tells Mina that some would say Mina is the Harley Cameron of Japan. Well then, welcome to the Harley Cameron of Harley Camerons. What…? Oh, never mind! But since Mina is back, she will feel the wrath of Harley Cameron!
Wait, seriously? Mina VS Harley? Yes! Face to face, tit for tat! Rack ’em up and may the breast- best woman win! Mina shimmies and says, “See you Saturday.” Harley shimmies back, and Renee says stop! Things are really shaping up for Collision, but who proves they can get crazier in the ring?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Lio Rush!
The Realest has certainly heard everything everyone else has had to say about him, from The Hurt Syndicate to even a former friend in The Bad Child. But will Swerve have to show Lio and Lashley whose house this is? Or will it just be Swerve’s Final Hour?
The bell rings, Nana leads the fans in a chant of “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” while Swerve and Lio talk some trash. Swerve says Lio should’ve just listened to him, but Lio shoves Swerve. Things speed up as Lio dodges, redirects, but then Swerve returns the favor! The fans cheer, but then Lio takes off again. Both men stop on a dime, but Lio slides out of the ring. The fans are still behind “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” but Lio takes his time returning. Lio and Swerve go again, Swerve trips and covers, ONE! Swerve suplexes, Lio slips free to shove, but Swerve slips up and around to stop himself. Lio runs up, Swerve dodges, but Lio pulls the same flip.
Swerve runs up, Lio ducks ‘n’ dodges, goes to the apron, bobs ‘n’ weaves, then RAMS into Swerve! Lio then dodges the shoulder, but Swerve avoids the Spider-Man attack. Swerve runs up, Lio backflips, but Swerve handsprings up and over to stare him down! The fans are thunderous for these two, but then Lio CLAWS Swerve’s eyes! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Lio says Swerve doesn’t know him. Swerve blocks the desk bump to SMACK Lio off the apron! Nana cheers Swerve on and he puts Lio in the ring. Swerve climbs up a corner slowly, but Lio runs up to handspring ropes! Swerve takes a fall to corner, then apron, then floor!
Lio stands tall and smirks while a ring count starts. Nana checks Swerve while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Swerve blinks one of his eyes while clutching his groin, but Lio storms out to fire off! Lio stomps away, but Swerve gets away. Lio RAMS Swerve into railing! Lio CHOPS Swerve, BOOTS him, then stares Nana down. Nana backs off but Lio mocks his dance. Lio drags Swerve up, wrenches and puts Swerve in the ring. Lio clamps onto Swerve and squeezes tight with a sleeper and body scissors. Swerve fights up with Lio as a backpack, and RAMS him into the corner! But Lio runs up to CHOP BLOCK Swerve’s leg! Lio clamps back on with the SLEEPER, but Swerve endures. Swerve fights up, but Lio fires crossface forearms!
Lio lets off and scuffs Swerve. Swerve sits up but Lio kicks him. Lio eggs Swerve on, but Swerve CHOPS back! Lio grimaces and Dynamite goes to break.
Dynamite returns and Swerve has Lio on the apron. But Lio fires hands on Swerve! Lio ROCKS Swerve, but Swerve feints a boot to KICK, and APRON HOUSE CALL!! Lio tumbles into the ring and the fans fire up! Swerve rolls in, gator rolls Lio to a deadlift suplex! Cover, TWO! Lio stays in this but Swerve stays cool. Nana coaches Swerve and Swerve goes up the corner. Swerve aims as Lio sits up, FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy and the fans fire up. Swerve drags Lio up, inverted suplex, but Lio slips free! Swerve kicks, spin kicks, then EDDY- NO, Lio dodges the Gordo, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!!
The fans rally up while Lio grows frustrated. Swerve goes to the apron, Nana says watch out, but Lio is on Swerve already. Lio whips, Swerve reverses, but Lio leaps up on the desk! RAN- NO, Swerve stops that to then bring Lio to steps! Lio slips free, runs back up, but Swerve pops him up! Lio lands safe on the steps, then jumps back to POISON-RANAÂ to the floor! Lio hurries into the ring, builds speed, and he DIVES! Down goes Swerve and the fans fire up again! Lio puts Swerve in, “This is Awesome as Lio climbs. Lio hits the FINAL HOUR!! Cover, TWO!! Not so final after all and Lio cannot believe it!
The fans rally up as hard as they can, and Lio storms around. Lio says it’s time! Rebound and RUSH- NO, Swerve stops the stunner with a half nelson! Lio pries that hold open but Swerve fires body shots. Swerve lifts, Lio victory rolls, hand on ropes! Nana points that out, the ref stops his count, and Swerve rolls Lio back. Half nelson, but Lio arm-drags free! BASEMENT ENZIGIRI! Lio hurries to a corner, goes up and up, but Swerve stops the rana this time! Wheelbarrow, into the half nelson! BIG PRESSURE!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Whether or not this proves The Realest is the most dangerous, it shows he is resilient! Nana hands a mic to Swerve, and Swerve says everyone has the bright idea that now that Swerve is back, they should go after the baddest man, the former AEW World Champion. They wanna use Swerve’s name, equity and accolades to prove a point. Lio tried and failed. A couple weeks ago, Shelton Benjamin tried and failed! Seems like Swerve has to remind a lot of people whose house this is! That leads Swerve to Bobby Lashley. Like it says, Full Gear, but Swerve feels like he needs a fight with Lashley tonight! Lashley, take your ass out here right now! Swerve ain’t running, and there’s nowhere to hide!
Well here comes The Hurt Syndicate! MVP accompanies Lashley, mic in hand, but where is the Standard of Excellence? MVP tells Swerve, “If you want a fight with a member of The Syndicate, all you gotta do is ask me and I’ll set it up for ya.” Because see, The Syndicate likes Swerve a lot. And the reason they’re recruiting him is because he has so much unrealized potential. But one of the things they’ll teach Swerve… Well, maybe Lashley is ready to fight right now! The jacket is off and the sleeves are rolled up! Maybe we don’t have to wait two weeks. But there is still a lesson to learn: There is strength in numbers.
Swerve forgot that lesson, but he’ll remember. SHELTON ATTACKS FROM BEHIND! The fans boo but Shelton TOSSES Swerve out, for Lashley to CLOBBER! Lashley brings Swerve up, THRWOS him into railing, then hauls him up for knees! The fans boo as Lashley CLUBS Swerve, then THROWS him into more railing! Shelton stares Nana down while Lashley throws Swerve back into the ring. Shelton hits a DDT on Swerve! MVP CHOKES Nana with the walking stick! Nana sputters as Lashley hits a MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER on Swerve! Lashley makes Nana watch as the HURT LOCK is clamped on!
Swerve sputters, fades, and both Swerve and Nana are going out! Refs rush up but Shelton keeps them back. Lashley drops Swerve, and MVP lets Nana crawl to him. The Hurt Syndicate step out, security keeping a safe distance. But wait! Lashley grabs Nana now! Lashley POSTS Nana! Nana tumbles to steps then floor and the fans can’t believe it! Even Lio, watching from afar, is a bit stunned. But is this what it means to do business with the Hurt Syndicate?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Renee is with the former AEW Women’s World Champion, and Hayter says Renee looks “smashing.” Renee says right back at Hayter. But congrats on the win over Penelope Ford, so what is next? Hayter says that is a question on everyone’s lips. Because did we not think Hayter would win last week? Did Hayter not do what she said she would? And she’ll continue to do what she says she’ll do, because it is no secret that Hayter is back to right wrongs. She did some of the wrongs, but that’s for the future. For the right now, Hayter is thinking of coming after one thing. Wait, the lights go out? And a phone rings.
Julia Hart wakes up! She has a red spot on her shirt, over her heart. The phone is there, and rather old school. Julia picks up the phone, asks who it is, and it’s Brody King! He says it’s time to come home. What does he mean “come home?” She doesn’t even know where she is, there’s a blood stain on her shirt and… the phone isn’t even connected…! The lights flicker, Julia stands up but is very dizzy. She washes up, head pounding, and then the lights turn red. Julia looks down the hall and the light comes from behind a closet’s double doors. She opens the doors to see the source. The bow, the arrows, the hat…
The Princess of the Black Throne is coming home, and has she already made Hayter into the hunted?

Winners: The House of Black, by submission (advances to Full Gear)
A valiant effort from FTR, and Private Party pours one out for them. Brody & Malakai show respect by helping FTR to their feet, and they all shake hands. But now, that means only one spot remains. Will it be The Acclaimed or La Faccion Ingobernable that joins the Full Gear Fatal 4 Way?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, and it really flew by in the middle with how they used all the story overlaps as very clear segues. Ospreay and Kyle had a great promo, and of course it turned into a brawl with the Don Callis Family and growing new United Empire or whatever it is. Kyle and Mark hesitating to fight was another good touch, and then Roddy going out there to start his match with Archer was good stuff. Falls Count Anywhere let them at least make good use of the main crowd side, and some good overbooking with The Kingdom having to counteract Cage. Great win for Roddy, and then great segue right into Cole VS Takeshita.
While I only stumbled upon the possibility last Saturday, only ONE person winning the MJF Challenge was a good choice. Cole loses out to Takeshita but it was protected because of the diamond ring helping Takeshita cheat. And we did get a good detail of Kyle coming out to make the save, and even Ricochet getting his shot in on Takeshita. Ricochet VS Takeshita is of course still the title plan there, but this was a good tease that maybe Kyle goes back to the Undisputed Kingdom. Or at the very least, Conglomeration and Kingdom work together against the Heel factions of Callis Family and Death Riders in a massive, Avengers: Endgame level match.
Speaking of, very good promos from Moxley and Orange Cassidy tonight, but when they said Moxley was taking over the TBS SuperStation, I thought they were going to film some “on location” thing and it’d be aired here on the tron. Guess they were trying to harken back to WCW and nWo with just a catchphrase or subtitle and then not do anything like that. But that aside, good brawl with Darby and the purple Sting mask jumping in. I like the details here where Yuta really is bottom of the food chain. Claudio told Yuta to shut up, the Death Rider truck almost took off without him, Yuta really needs to realize Moxley doesn’t care. But at this rate, it feels like Yuta will just double down his loyalty and that’s what costs Cassidy at Full Gear.
Great opening tag match from Bang Bang Gang VS Hangman & Christian, especially with Hook dragging Nick Wayne away and brawling with him. It still didn’t tip things in favor of Bang Bang Gang given Kip and Mother Wayne were still ringside. That puts the pressure on White going towards Full Gear, but the go-home segment will really tell us how White VS Hangman plays out. Great backstage segment with Mone, Kamille and Kris. Mone should be careful how she treats Kamille, because even one handed, Kamille is bigger and stronger. Though, Kris proved she’s as strong as them both breaking that wall. Sadly, this is all leaning towards Mone retaining at Full Gear.
Good match from Britt and Ford but of course Britt won. Deeb showing up was interesting, but a match or two from Deeb and Britt could do some good to get Britt headed for a title. Hayter was of course going to say she wants a title shot, but from Julia Hart interrupting with her own vignette, Hayter VS Hart seems like the feud that helps set one of them up for the title shot. And good promo from Mina (did she do something to her eyebrows?) and Harley. Harley is shaking off losing to Thunder Rosa to now lose to Mina. But Mina will be there on Collision as Mariah May defends her title one more time against Anna Jay, and maybe now we’ll get on the road to Mariah VS Mina.
Good promo from Jericho and his Learning Tree, and I guess it’s fine that Thanksgiving Eve Dynamite is the ROH World Championship match. ROH Final Battle won’t be until December 15th so they can’t stretch things out that long, and it feels like the title is staying with Jericho anyway, so a cheated finish on a TV match is fine. Great stuff with the Hurt Syndicate, such as MVP’s promo with Lashley, and we got an awesome match out of Swerve VS Lio. Swerve gets a great win, but then the Syndicate of course get Swerve in a trap and beat him down. As it stand, Swerve probably turns things around next week, only to lose at Full Gear.
And awesome tag team main event from FTR VS House of Black. I’m a little surprised FTR lost, but I guess it keeps #FTRunners from having drama when they only just became friends. Plus, this is something The House of Black has needed. It’s been a bit of time since they had the trios titles, and while I don’t think Private Party loses the tag titles, just being in this Fatal 4 is a step in the right direction for Malakai & Brody. And with Julia on her way back, maybe the House of Black will rise up and get some new belts now.
My Score: 8.9/10

Six Man Tag: The House of Black VS The Iron Savages!
Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews have each suffered recent singles losses, so they’re getting back to what worked. Will they bring about the end for Jacked Jameson, Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder? Or will we all be sippin’ sauce ‘n’ livin’ hoss after tonight?
Jameson has the mic to tell al the fat morons and skinny idiots to shut up! He introduces himself and the Savages and says that you can see, they have new gear and the best gear ahead of Full Gear. But with no match set, they’ll beat The House of Black to take their spot in the contender series and win those tag titles themselves! Because they are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the low T meat riders to #TiddyCity! The fans boo and The House isn’t even affected. The teams sort out, and Brody steps to Boulder. The fans fire up as the big men step up. Boulder taunts Brody, but Brody CHOPS the meat!
Boulder sputters, but Bronson leaves him hanging! Jameson, too? The Savages give Boulder sauce to sip, and Boulder is fired up! Boulder runs up, into a BOOT! Brody then runs to LARIAT! Boulder sputters to a corner, Brody tags Malakai, and Malakai tags Buddy. Brody SPLASHES, Malakai BOOTS, and Buddy SHINING WIZARDS! Buddy smirks at Jameson, then goes corner to corner. Bronson saves Boulder! Buddy hits buckles, Jameson tags in and fires off forearms! Jameson taunts Malakai, but then turns around to see Buddy’s right up! Buddy fires a strike fest, stomp and V-TRIGGER! Tag to Malakai before the whip.
Buddy kitchen sink knees, Malakai PENALTY KICKS, and Buddy KNEE DROPS! Bronson runs up, leg sweep and Bronson falls on Jameson! That’s an awkward position… Brody SENTONS the Savages! The fans cheer while the Savages bail out. Buddy & Malakai hold the way open for Brody to DIVE! Down go all three Iron Savages! The fans fire up and Brody puts Boulder back in. Boulder staggers up, into THE END!! Bronson staggers in, Buddy SOBATS! And then JACKHAMMER! Jameson is last, he gets the DOUBLE POP-UP KNEES! Jameson ends up in a corner, The House sets up, and feed Jameson to CERBERUS!! Cover, The House of Black wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
A dominant win from former AEW World Trios Champions, but which two will step forward to face FTR in the Full Gear Contenders Series? Will it be the end for the #TopGuys? But speaking of, here they come! The fans fire up as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here in Providence! They have mics, and Malakai asks what they can do for FTR. Cash says he sees Buddy puffed up, just calm down. They’ve had ladder matches, cage matches, and taken years off their careers. This is just business. Dax Harwood says over the last four and a half years, Dax has made it his life’s mission to be AEW World Tag Team Champion.
Those belts have been put above their bodies, above their health, above their family, and even above God. But nothing changes except for the obstacles. Right now, The House is their obstacle. On the backs of FTR, on the backs of The House of Black, they built Collision. The fans cheer that. But for the first time ever on a Dynamite, House of Black VS the absolute best team on the planet, FTR! The one question is: Who’s it gonna be? Malakai & Brody step up! The fans cheer and Malakai tells FTR, “Good luck.” The Top Guys push past the Kings of the Black Throne, but will Dax & Cash be able to push through to Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“You don’t think that I see what’s going on around here? You don’t think that i feel it? There’s a shift happening. And we’re all a part of it. You see, there’s a reoccurring theme with me being All Elite again, and it’s that my past is creeping up on me, forcing to make a decision. Which is why I’ve held on to this.” The card from MVP! This is a golden ticket. What this is is a decision that he must make with people who like conducting business in a way he used to agree with. MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and his guy, Bobby Lashley. If you’ve been paying attention, you saw Lio beat Ariya Daivari last week and Lio beat Komander on Rampage.
Lio is here tonight, ready to be on fire. He feels great, but wants to feel greater. He wants to feel alive again! Which is why on Dynamite, Lio is calling out Swerve! Knock knock, open up> The Man of the Hour is back around. Lio smiles, but will he regret visiting Swerve’s House?
Private Party is here!
Providence fires up as Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way to ringside, holding up their AEW World Tag Team Championships! They sit in their VIP section on stage as they watch what’s next.
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Top Flight VS The Outrunners!
Darius & Dante Martin have been building momentum back up, and they could be hitting Mach Speed in time for Full Gear. That is, if they take The Youngest Men Alive seriously.

Darius tags in, and he CLOBBERS Truth! Darius wrenches then scoops Truth for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!
Darius is annoyed, but then Truth CHOPS him! Darius throws knees into Truth, whips him, but Truth reverses. Dante tags in, Darius atomic drops Truth to feed Truth to a BOOT! Darius CHOPS Truth, then Dante ELBOW DROPS! Cover, TWO! The fans rally but Dante brings Truth up. Dante CLUBS Truth, tags Darius, and the fans rally up. Top Flight split the wishbone!

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Presuming Roderick Strong even wins tonight against The Beast Mortos, his third match in the “MJF Chase” has been decided! It will be against The Don Callis Family’s Lance Archer, in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match! Will the Savior of the Backbreaker make it through these trials of body and mind to make it to Full Gear? On top of that, a report comes in that Jon Moxley and the Death Riders are going to SEIZE the TBS SuperStation?! Just what gives this rogue AEW World Champion the authority to do that? Plus, we hear from Bobby Lashley ahead of his match with Swerve Strickland at Full Gear, and we hear from Will Ospreay after his shocking return last Wednesday night.
The Acclaimed speak.
Max Caster starts off with a “Yo, listen.” Anthony Bowens says they have requested this time because they wanna speak directly to LFI. Next week, Albany, Collision, the Contender Series, Caster & Bowens take their next step back to where they belong and that is the AEW World Tag Team Championships! So FYI, LFI, they’ll whip your ass! That’s right! Time to go eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! So here’s a word of advice from the Handsome Heavyweight, the Bilingual Badass, Platinum Max! “Donde esta ustedes cajones? Where are your balls?” Because they’re dealing with- The Hurt Syndicate steps in!
Montel Vontavious Porter shakes his head and can’t believe Caster’s going on about balls and scissoring. What is wrong with him? How long has it been since they’ve held championships? Don’t they wanna be taken serious? Look at Caster’s father, an all pro NFL Super Bowl champion! Caster saw that big shiny ring growing up, so doesn’t he want the big shiny belt? Bowens says ENOUGH! MVP has Lashley & Shelton stand down. Bowens tells them that just because Billy Gunn isn’t here, doesn’t mean they can say whatever they want to The Acclaimed. And secondly, they aren’t interested. Bowens goes but MVP says he knows Caster still has the card.
Caster leaves, and MVP tells Shelton that they can’t just kill everybody. Shelton asks why not. Lashley says at least hit them in the mouth. But will The Hurt Syndicate soon be adding some platinum to the mix?
Roderick Strong VS The Beast Mortos!
Adam Cole is 2-0 in his MJF Chase, and this will be round two for the Savior of the Backbreaker. But it’s against “his boy,” who he still wants to join The Undisputed Kingdom. But will the menacing minotaur prove Jake The Snake is right? Is Mortos LFI 4 Life? Or can Roddy break through to him with a win?

Mariah May speaks.
“I hate women’s wrestling. I really do. It never used to be this way. I was all for ‘hot girl graps’ and ‘women supporting women.’ ‘We’re all in this together, let’s make history!’ And then I won this title. And I realized I am surrounded by the weakest, saddest, most pathetic little s*its I have ever seen. They’re either dead, injured, beaten, sick, or can’t even look me in the eyes. Because they know the truth. I am not in this women’s division. These women are in my division. And if I was them, I would thank me for standing on their necks. My prime is being wasted because no one can touch me. It’s so lonely being the only.
“Years from now, people will wonder, ‘Who killed women’s wrestling?’ Yes, it was me. I did it.” The Glamour is arrogant as always, but is she going to regret growing her ego so big and so fast?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with the Queenslayer and brings up what Mariah just said because clearly, Anna is not happy. Anna tells Mariah that while she thinks “no one can touch you,” Anna did more than that. She slapped Mariah, kicked Mariah, and even beaten Mariah! And next time, she will choke Mariah out until she pisses herself! Anna is the only woman who has pinned Mariah since Mariah won at All In. So now, Anna is going all in. Mariah VS Anna, Round 3, NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! And if Anna loses this time, she will never challenge Mariah for the title again. Every woman here wants the title and Mariah’s head. On Dynamite, Anna drops Mariah to bring home both. #JustTryMe.
Mariah’s insults have incensed Anna, will Anna finally become The Star of the Show?

Mone bails, but will she still have those belts by the end of the year?
La Faccion Ingobernable is backstage.
Jake The Snake follows Rush y Dralistico but they tell cameramen to move aside. Rush asks Mortos what’s wrong with him. How could he lose to Roddy? Did he forget what LFI is about?! They’re to show no mercy on anyone! Roddy is not your friend! He is not your familia! LFI is all that! So forget the Kingdom! They have a grand opportunity next week! Show him who you are! Mortos is riled up again, and Jake says some people, you just don’t piss off. LFI are those people. And Acclaimed, you’re just a bunch of squirrels playing around, trying to find a nut. No nuts here, you’ll get more than you can handle.
And remember one thing and one thing only: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will Mortos & Dralistico destroy the hopes of Caster & Bowens without a second thought? Or will they get hit with that Mic Drop?
AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry VS Action Andretti!
With The Young Bucks abandoning The Elite, The Scapegoat has put it on himself to push his twisted idea of progress forward. He has Daniel Garcia breathing down his throat, yet he goes to Lowell, Massachusetts just to call out Yota Tsuji. And now, he put this open challenge out, only for it to be answered in an instant. Will Jack Perry be able to keep up with everything he’s taking on? Or will this match be a Sight to See?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is ready to make a sacrifice!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, and Jack powers Action back to a corner. The ref counts, Jack lets off slowly, then pokes action. Action says okay, whatever.

The Scapegoat makes Action his newest sacrifice, and he grabs a mic, only for Daniel Garcia to appear! The fans cheer as Red Death storms his way down to the ring. Jack sighs as he turns around, and he lets Garcia have the mic already. Garcia says unfortunately, this isn’t about talking to the fans, but about talking to Jack. Garcia wants Jack to understand, they disagree on a lot of things, but the one they disagree on the most is that Jack thinks they’re alike. And Jack thinks he’s special because he came back from a “vacation,” hair all in his face, driving in a beat up school bus, when really, he’s a multimillionaire “Nepo Baby” who was handed everything his entire life.
And Jack does not care about anyone else, he doesn’t fight for anyone else, and that is a major difference between them. Garcia fights for the people he cares about. Garcia fires for Daddy Magic, he fights for Private Party, he fights for everyone in the back. You think that makes Garcia weak? No, that makes him strong! THE PEOPLE make Garcia strong! And Jack, Garcia will never, ever be anything like you. But you know what Garcia will be? November 23rd, Full Gear, Garcia becomes T N T CHAMPION! Perry smirks, and asks for the mic back. Garcia hands it over, and Jack says Garcia can have his match. But he’s still not ready.
Jack drops the mic, pushes past Garcia, and clearly thinks it’s a given he will still be golden. But will The Scapegoat learn why this is the man known as Red Death?
Julia Hart is… back to being a cheerleader?
She has the skirt, the pompoms and the letterman’s jacket. But then the shadowy shroud watches from the stands. “The House of Black… Always Wins…!” Cheerleader Julia turns her cheer into one for The House of Black. They always win. They will fight to the death and make you scream. And scream she does. The shroud stands, armed with a bow ‘n’ arrow. And she says, “You’ll never be good enough.” She then SHOOTS Hart through the heart! But then she wakes up! Is the Princess of the Dark Throne on her way back?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia.
Lexy finds Garcia talking with Matthew Menard and announces that it’s now official, Garcia will have his TNT Championship match. Menard apologizes to Lexy for interrupting, but he was just talking with Garcia. Lexy can stick around if she wants, because surely the world wants to hear this. Menard says Perry thinks Garcia’s not ready, but all Garcia has to do is turn it up to the max. Menard knows Danny is ready, Mama Garcia knows Danny is ready, the WHOLE WORLD knows Danny is ready! All Danny has to do is prove them right. Prove them right and take the title from that prick! Garcia says he will. Let’s get it!
Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS AR Fox!
The Prodigy has a camera at gorilla as he says he heard through the grapevine that today is a very special day. Today is the anniversary of AR Fox’s father passing away. Good thing that he’s dead, because Papa Fox would disown Fox after what Nick’s about to do to him. A Prodigy never forgets.

Lexy is now with Mansoor & Mason Madden, and brings up this new sort of “collaboration” with Johnny TV. It seems there is an update? Yes, that’s right, “Lexington.” Mansoor says “Johnathon Television” requested they slide into his DMs and that is exactly what they did. Mansoor’s message requested Johnny join them in a Trios match for next week’s Collision. His reply? We’re waiting for it. Oh, okay, he’s read it. The three dots are here! And Johnny says… He already has a match with Daniel Garcia. Darn it. But wait, there’s more! They can come with him ringside! That’s great! What about the pic Mason sent him?

Mark whips, Yuta reverses, but Kyle tags in! Mark ROCKS Yuta, then feeds him to Kyle’s BOOT! Mark DIVES onto Claudio! Ishii LARIATS Yuta in a corner, Kyle adds his forearm SMASH, and then a feed to Ishii! CHASING THE DRAGON!! Mark is up top, for the FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, PAC BREAKS IT! Ishii whips Pac to the apron, but Pac RAMS back into Ishii! Pac slingshots up and over, but Ishii LARAITS Pac!
Claudio UPPERCUTS Ishii! Mark runs up, into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Kyle KNEES Claudio, to AX &- UPPERCUT! Kyle stays up to KNEE Claudio down! All six men are down, and the fans are thunderous! A standing count starts while the fans rally behind “A E DUB! A E DUB!” And then here comes the rest of the Death Riders, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir! The Maniac & The Problem make their way in from the crowd side, are they going to do to Conglomeration what they did to Cassidy? WAIT! Orange Cassidy is here! The fans fire up as Freshly Squeezed is back, much to Moxley’s surprise!
Cassidy marches right to ringside, and he stares Moxley down from across the way. Yuta also glares at Cassidy, but Kyle rolls Yuta up! TWO!! Yuta escapes but ends up in an ANKLE LOCK!! Moxley seethes, but Pac is back! SUPERKICK to Kyle! KYLE HOLDS ON! Ishii whips, Pac grabs ropes, but Ishii LARIATS Pac up and out! Ishii storms out after Pac but Claudio sends him into railing! Claudio drags Yuta to safety but Mark WRECKS Claudio with kicks! Mark runs at Claudio, but Claudio TOSSES Mark up and over railing! Kyle still has Yuta’s foot!

The ref grabs the chair, Kyle FLYING KNEES Pac! Kyle dodges Claudio but Marina JAMS Kyle with the briefcase! Claudio puts Kyle in, Yuta hits the BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, Death Riders win!
Winners: The Death Riders, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Moxley & Marina make sure their men hold onto the gold, but now Cassidy storms into the ring. Moxley sees that, dares Cassidy to come after him, but Yuta stands in the way. So Yuta gets an ORANGE PUNCH!! And then Cassidy DIVES onto Moxley! The fans fire up, Rocky Romero makes his way out here, and Conglomeration brawls with Death Riders! Marina drags Moxley away from Cassidy, but Cassidy stands on the commentary desk to stare Moxley down. Death Riders fight but they’re in tactical retreat! Cassidy says hold on. CANNONBALL onto the cluster! The fans fire up as Cassidy stands back up to again stare Moxley down.
The Death Riders may have gold between the world title and the world trios titles, but will that change once Cassidy kicks it into Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, really packed full of action and story. While I criticized using Roddy VS Mortos as a replacement for Roddy VS Cole drama in this build, I do appreciate Mortos playing up how emotionally conflicted he was during his match. It is a little silly to think Mortos actually liked The Undisputed Kingdom, but he and Roddy had a great match, and that was a great win for Roddy. But with Roddy VS Archer announced during the match, I suppose it made sense for Archer to attack Roddy. Next week’s Dynamite should’ve still been Cole VS Roddy, winner gets MJF, but I suppose there can still be drama over only one of them winning, and the other has to force himself to be happy for his friend. What would be wild is if RODDY wins and Cole is the one swallowing his pride.
Kris of course wins a squash match to build momentum, but then I should’ve figured Mone would attack her. Just saw her do that to Hazuki at the NJPW Strong show, so it’s just the CEO’s MO to go after her challengers in an attempt to weaken them before the title match. I wouldn’t mind if Hazuki returned the favor to integrate stories between AEW and NJPW. Honestly, same goes for Yota Tsuji showing up on an AEW show after Jack Perry went after him. Jack of course beat Action in the title match, but good promos from him and Garcia to hype up their title match. With no Bucks around, maybe the rest of The Elite starts losing gold, and Jack is first.
Great match from Nick and Fox to revisit their feud from the past, and Nick sure is learning from “Father” Christian by bringing up Fox’s dead dad. The Patriarchy of course had to cheat to win, but at least Nick’s rolling tiger driver won instead of being buried like it was against Ricochet. Nick indirectly calls out Swerve, too, with the staple gun stuff. Maybe after the Hurt Syndicate stuff, Swerve revisits this feud to settle things with Nick. Speaking of, good promos from Lio Rush and Acclaimed in connection to the Hurt Syndicate. As Top Flight flounders, maybe Lio jumps ship to be Hurt Syndicate going into the Continental Classic season.
Acclaimed are also just a moment away from falling apart, and their match with LFI next week will be a big part of that. Maybe Acclaimed win, maybe they don’t, really depends on how the tag title Fatal 4 Way’s Heel-Face ratio is looking after this next week. The House of Black of course squashed The Iron Savages, and I even like the Julia Hart return teaser. Good promo from House of Black and FTR to establish it’s Brody & Malakai. With Outrunners beating Top Flight to qualify for the title match, it would be interesting if the #FTRunners were forced to fight each other during that match.
Very good promos from Mariah and Anna to establish a last chance title match. Pretty sure Anna loses, though, as I still think they’re waiting on a Mariah VS Mina feud before Mariah loses the belt. Hilarious promo from MXM Collection to plug a team-up with Johnny TV next week, even if it they’re just in his corner. I feel like we could also get a very good Six Man Tag of #MXMTV VS Garcia & Private Party to warm up Garcia & Private Party before Full Gear. And great title match main event, but of course Moxley made sure his guys won by any means necessary. Good brawl to close the night, but all the more reason Yuta’s gonna get involved and cost Cassidy.
My Score: 8.8/10
