PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!
Well, it’s that there WON’T be a Collision! Between WrestleDream and the Men’s International Soccer Friendly, USA VS Panama, Collision is taking the week off. However, Friday Night Rampage and the Countdown to WrestleDream special will still happen, 10 PM to 11:30 PM Eastern!
Jon Moxley speaks.
“No one wants the blood of the very legend, The American Dragon, on their hands. The fact is, for the better part of two years, Bryan’s been trying to kamikaze himself. It’s been disconcerting to watch, trying to take himself out. Because as of yet, no one possesses the constitution to do it for him. The way things have worked out, it’s gotta be me. It’ll be a wakeup call for AEW. This is the real world. Nothing lasts forever. You don’t get to pick the day. All these people, living in a fantasy world, playing with their toys, they’re figments of their own imaginations. Saturday night, they will see the truth.
“Of course, there is this little matter of the dark side of Bryan Danielson that most people don’t understand. See, in his element, in the ring, doing what he was put here to do, The American Dragon comes to life, and it’s a beautiful thing. You back that dragon up into a corner, poke it, prod it, provoke it, it becomes something truly terrifying. Bryan’s never been truly comfortable with that part of himself. Now, as this world closes in around him, in his last remaining light, Bryan Danielson will embrace his dark side. And I will be ready. I have to be. I don’t have a choice. There are not enough people in the state of Washington to stop me on Saturday night.
“What I stand for is too powerful. I and those that come with me are too powerful. No weapon shall be formed against us, whom shall we fear!? I will run into the mouth of war Saturday night and beyond. Stand down while you can, run while you have a chance. I can only hope that one day, Bryan, you’ll understand. It’s gotta be this way. It’s gotta be this way. But I don’t have time to worry about that right now. The stakes are too high.” Moxley shoves the camera over and storms off, just what is driving The Maniac to these lengths?
Bryan Danielson speaks.
“So apparently, Claudio just did an interview with Sports Illustrated, telling everybody that this was gonna be my last match on Dynamite. Well guess what, Claudio? Big news: This is NOT gonna be my last night on Dynamite. Tonight, I’m gonna run through you and Pac, me and Wheeler Yuta are gonna run through you guys. And then on Saturday at WrestleDream, Mox, you don’t know what you’ve got coming to you. Listen, Claudio, I’ve been a supporter of you for over 20 years. 20 YEARS, I have been your friend! 20 YEARS, I have supported you in every company that we’ve worked together in!
“But tonight… Tonight, there’s gonna be no support. There’s just gonna be me, here in Spokane, Washington, kicking your gaddamn head in!” The American Dragon is all fired up, will he burn what’s left of the bridge between him and the Blackpool Combat Club?
Darby Allin is here!
The Relentless One let us know on Collision that he’d be here to call out Brody King, and he already has a mic. Darby shouts to cut his music, and he shouts for Brody King, “What’re you waiting for? Brody King, get your ass out here right now!” The fans cheer that, and Darby paces as he watches the stage. And here comes the King of Death! Brody grabs himself a mic before he steps into the ring with Darby, and Darby says he’s actually excited it’s Brody accepting the WrestleDream Open Challenge. Brody could’ve just asked nicely, he didn’t have to attack, but Darby knows what Brody is doing.
Remember years ago, when they were both on the independents? They would stay in these “crackhead” motels, talk all night, saying hopefully it’ll all be worth it. Hopefully one day, they’d make it to national TV while staying true to themselves. And Darby remembers that Brody was so nervous because he had his first kid on the way, didn’t know how his career was going to end up. Darby remembers everything. The thing is, years later, Darby was hired by AEW, and Brody called Darby up every week. Brody was so excited seeing AEW, it looked amazing, and Brody wished he was there. Darby wished Brody was here back then, too.
Because Brody was signed to ROH at the time. Until ROH shut down. No one knew it’s future, because before Tony Khan bought ROH, no one knew what would happen. Brody was out of a job with two young kids. And you know what Darby did? Darby called TK and told him to hire Brody King. Darby got Brody his job here! The fans cheer that. Darby says he knows Brody doesn’t take this for granted, just like Darby doesn’t take it for granted! But dude, they’re so much alike. Because of AEW, Brody could have his dad retire, just like Darby. Because of AEW, Brody bought his family a home. But the thing is, Brody now wants Darby’s spot and what Darby has.
And what Darby has is, he’s basically the Face of AEW! The thing is, he was the guy who was never supposed to make it. But thanks to AEW, he made it! He is the guy doing the talk shows, the radio shows, you name it and he does it. Brody stops Darby there. Darby is right, he has everything that Brody wants. But the difference is, Brody doesn’t take it for granted. We all know Darby has a death wish. So what happens when Darby climbs Mount Everest, and doesn’t come back? What happens when he DIES on that mountain?! Darby’s dad has to get a job again. AEW is without its face.
Darby can lie to all the fans and say he doesn’t take it for granted, but at the end of the day, Darby needs someone to save him… from himself! Then why wait? Why wait for Saturday? Put him out of his misery here and now! Do it! Take his spot! C’mon! He’s right here! Darby sits and tells Brody to do his little thing! Darby mockingly barks, “Woof, woof!” The fans join in, Darby dares Brody to do it, but Brody tells Darby to get up. Darby stands, the two stare down, and then Darby SLAPS Brody! Brody DECKS Darby! Brody looms over Darby, drags him up, and has the SLEEPER! But Darby brings something out of his jacket pocket.
IT’S THE BRICK! The brick Darby was smashing cars with last week! Darby SMASHES Brody’s hand with it! And then CLOBBERS Brody in the face! The fans are going nuts, and Darby aims, until security rushes in! Brody is busted open, but he’s pissed! The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but these two will only have to wait a few more days. The Tacoma Dome might be more like the Roman Coliseum, which of these wild gladiators will walk away from WrestleDream?
Backstage interview with Lance Archer & Jake Roberts.
Renee Paquette is with The Murderhawk Monster & The Snake and says there has been a lot going on lately. It would seem Don Callis was trying to acquire Archer for his faction, but then speak of the devil. Callis steps in, says hello to Renee, and to “Mr. Roberts.” Callis says it is a very exciting day here for The Don Callis Family. As it turns out, he and Jake the Snake concluded the first-ever management to management talent exchange here in AEW. It is Calils’ understanding that after several long discussions, and several bank transactions, Mr. Archer is now part of The Don Callis Family, isn’t that right? Jake says absolutely!
The two shake hands, and Callis says what a pleasure. Archer doesn’t seem as pleased, but Renee asks what this means regarding Will Ospreay. We’re set to hear from Ospreay later tonight, but how will that affect him? Callis says he loves Ospreay, Ospreay is a great talent, but for now, “we’ve got some indoctrination to do.” Callis has big plans for Archer, time to meet The Family! Archer shakes hands with Jake as they part ways, and Renee asks who Jake got in return. Oh, well, does Renee like surprises? Yes. Good, cuz so does Jake. Just who did The Snake get giving up the Murderhawk Monster?
Daniel Garcia arrives backstage!
Renee is there to greet Red Death here in Spokane and notes we haven’t seen him since AEW All Out roughly a month ago. Since then, there has been a lot of questions regarding Garcia’s AEW future, so what’s going on? Garcia says as much as he would love to give an answer right now, he owes the world to go tell them himself. Renee thanks Garcia for his time, then Garcia heads inside. What will Garcia have to say about his next chapter?
Holo.grm VS Komander!
The futuristic luchador and the Commander of the Skies were a major part of that high-flying Fatal 4 Way on Collision, and now they’re going to turn it up a notch for Title Tuesday! But will Hologram’s streak end after going 13-0? Or is there no such thing as “luck” with this incredible innovator?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Hologram and Komander circle, tie up, and Hologram waistlocks. Hologram spins, wrenches and wristlocks, but Komander wrenches to wristlock in return. Hologram rolls, handsprings, but Komander snapmares. Hologram rolls back, flips over, and kips up to trip Komander. Komander kips up to arm-drag!

Hologram double checks, but it was dos. Hologram rolls to have the legs, and he ties Komander up. BRIDGING DEATHLOCK! Komander endures, shifts around, and they roll so that both men are on their knees. Komander hooks Hologram’s arms, but Hologram fights the backslide. Komander powers through, he drags Hologram free of the hold, but Hologram wrenches to facelock! Snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Komander is still in this, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Hologram stalks Komander to ropes, drags him up and into a corner, to then CHOP! Komander staggers to another corner, and Hologram winds up. But Komander turns things around to CHOP back! Komander fires up with the fans while Hologram goes to another corner. But now Hologram turns it around, to CHOP! Hologram whips corner to corner, runs in, and he ROCKS Komander! Then GAMANGIRI! Hologram snapmares Komander, PENALTY KICKS, and STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Komander bridges free, but Hologram clamps onto his arms. Hologram pulls Komander into a motorcycle stretch!
Komander endures, the fans rally, and Komander rolls, only for Hologram to make it a stacked cover! TWO, but Hologram holds onto Komander’s arm. Hologram wrenches, hammerlocks, and then hits a rolling takeover! Hologram floats right to a leg, and he rolls Komander around to step through, TWISTING the deathlock into an STF! Komander endures as Hologram keeps busting out the Llave Submission Style! Komander claws his way forward, but now Hologram grabs an arm! Komander keeps fighting, Hologram tries the crossface again, but Komander elbows free! Komander crawls to ropes while Hologram stands.
Hologram rallies the fans, then storms up on Komander. Hologram whips, Komander rolls off Hologram’s back, and has an Inverted Gory Especial! But Hologram powers through to have that for himself! Dynamite returns to single picture as Hologram bends Komander back! But Komander powers up to sit up, only for Hologram to set him down and SOBAT! Hologram whips, but Komander KICKS and whips back! Hologram reverses, drops, but Komander handsprings over! Komander dodges a lariat, comes back again, but Hologram pops him up top!

Winner: Hologram, by pinfall
La Desnucadora de Hologram, aka The Portal Bomb, takes care of Komander, but what a battle it was from start to finish! This 14th win in a row was his strongest, will nothing stop Hologram from shining with gold? Wait, Jake the Snake is here? And then LA FACCION INGOBERNABLE ATTACKS!! The surprise is that Jake got Rush, and with Rush comes Dralistico AND The Beast Mortos! They all beat down Hologram and Komander, and the fans boo them ruining the moment! LFI fist bump, will these wild bulls stampede all over AEW now that The Snake is leading the way?
Backstage interview with Mark Briscoe.
Lexy Nair is with The Sussex County Chicken, and brings up how last week, Chris Jericho said some absolutely disgusting things to Mark. Lexy trails off a bit as Mark scowls. Mark tells Jericho in a very serious tone, “Man, you done messed up. You ain’t have to take it there. This isn’t a place you want me to be at, man. At WrestleDream, it ain’t even about this, man.” Mark sets down his ROH World Championship. Mark tells Jericho, “I’m gonna hurt you.” Did The Learning Tree make the biggest mistake of his life lighting a fire inside Mark Briscoe?
Daniel Garcia heads to the ring!
Spokane cheers on Red Death while he high-fives fans in the front row as he goes. Garcia steps into the ring, grabs a mic, and asks the fans, “How you guys doin’ tonight?” The fans cheer, they’re feeling good. Garcia says it feels so good to be out here to see the fans, to hear them, to feel that energy. The fans cheer that, too! Garcia says he’s been sitting at home for a while, and he won’t lie, he’s really missed this, so thank you so much for this. The fans chant, “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Garcia wants to thank the fans, thank Tony Khan for this time when he didn’t have to, so he thanks TK for letting Garcia do what he has to do.
Garcia says when you’re sitting at home, contemplating, with so much time to think, wondering, “What is best for my life? What is best for me?” Those answers aren’t always the easy answers, or the most popular ones. A fan says, “I love you!” and Garcia says he loves them, too, for real. Garcia says the thing is, he never wanted to be a guy who doesn’t follow through on his word. He never wanted to be a guy who just disappears with no explanation. Garcia takes a moment, the fans cheer him on, and Garcia says it felt really important to him that he came out here, look all the fans in the eyes, and everyone at home in the eye, and let us know what he’s gonna do.
Garcia takes another moment to gather his thoughts. Garcia says he came to the conclusion that Daniel Garcia can do whatever he wants, because Daniels Garcia is one of the best pro-wrestlers in the world! The fans cheer that! Garcia says the thing is, he feels like because he IS one of the best, then it is only right that he stays where the best WRESTLE, and that is A E W!! The fans cheer even more now! Garcia says the Garcia that is staying is not the same Garcia we know. This Garcia is not the person that gets little brother’d by everyone else in the back! This is not the Garcia that CRIED when he loses!
This Garcia is the Daniel Garcia that AEW can build their future on the back of! This Garcia is the Daniel Garcia that represents everyone int he back! And this is the Daniel Garcia that starts changing everything in AEW, starting with gold at his waist! So to everyone in the back, everyone who is a champion, and that’s a lot of people… “You’re not safe, and I’m coming for what you’ve got. The feeling is restored!” The fans are all fired up with Garcia, and he joins the people in celebrating! Who among the championship selection will Red Death come for first?
Swerve Strickland gets back at it.
It was just as Prince Nana said: Mentally, nothing can stop the most dangerous man in AEW. But it is also as Montel Vontavious Porter said: Swerve lost the AEW World Championship, only to then lose his childhood home as it was burned to the ground. Swerve gets in the gym with EJ Nduka, one of the top prospects in ROH. MVP’s words are ringing in Swerve’s ears, and The Judge says he’s got this. Swerve is heading to Tacoma for WrestleDream, will he be ready to talk business with MVP?
Speaking of, we see MVP and Shelton Benjamin finish watching this video like the rest of us, and they are very intrigued. Will MVP & The Gold Standard make Swerve an offer he can’t refuse?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone & Kamille.
Renee does her best Mercedes Mone introduction for The CEO, and it doesn’t really impress Mone nor Kamille. Mone says Renee should stick to asking questions. Renee says okay. Then tonight is Mone’s first-ever DOUBLE title defense, against Emi Sakura, and it would seem the Queen of Joshi had some… strong words for Mone. Oh, who doesn’t for Mone? Everyone wants to tweet at Mone, everyone wants to jump on the Money Train. Just ask Kris Statlander. Mone & Kamille laugh, and then Mone brings us back to Emi. Emi thinks Mone doesn’t respect her? Mone has all the respect in the world for her!
After all, Emi’s been wrestling longer than Mone’s been alive! Another laugh, and Mone says this is not the first time she’s “dethroned a queen,” and it won’t be the last time. Because money changes everything. Mone pushes past Renee, Kamille makes sure the dress train doesn’t drag on the floor, and they head out. But will Emi make sure everyone in Spokane is singing “We Will Rock You” tonight?
Garcia high-fives with the boys in the back.
Private Party, Anna Jay, even The Conglomeration is there to welcome the AEW faithful. Even Katsuyori Shibata! The Wrestler uses text-to-voice to say, “I’m happy you’re staying in AEW. At WrestleDream, the TNT Title will be around the waist of The Wrestler.” These two shake hands, perhaps making a done deal that Garcia gets next. Will The Scapegoat have something to say about it, though?
AEW Women’s World Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal 4 Way: Willow Nightingale VS Nyla Rose VS Jamie Hayter VS Saraya!
Whatever misfortunes befell Britt Baker, it has created quite the opening for even more top names in the AEW Women’s Division! The Babe with the Power goes from 50% to 25% odds, can she still head for WrestleDream? Or will someone else be battling The Glamour for her gold?
Speaking of The Glamour, Mariah May joins commentary. And she does not buy for one second that Britt Baker “fell ill” right before this. Mariah claims Britt fears her, but Mariah might need to worry about who’s in this match now. The bell rings and Saraya says WAIT! She’s trying to Chris Pratt with the raptors here, but they’re all closing in. Saraya bails out and hides behind Harley Cameron. The fans boo, Hayter says she figured Saraya would pull this. The other three circle, Willow dodges Nyla to ROCK Hayter! Willow kicks Nyla, but Nyla scoops Willow! Nyla SLAMS Willow, but Hayter bumps Nyla off buckles!
The fans rally as Hayter stomps a mudhole into Hayter. Hayter then lets off, to run up, but into a BOOT! Nyla storms up and reels Hayter in, to suplex her right to the top rope! Nyla then climbs up, but Willow CLUBS Nyla! Willow gets under Nyla, Hayter CLUBS Nyla into Willow’s- NO! Nyla RANAS free! The fans fire up, the Native Beast busting out something new! But Hayter CROSSBODIES Nyla! Mariah reminds us that she already beat Nyla, and as fun as a “double dip” can be, no thanks. Hayter and Willow stare down and the fans rally up. Mariah says she doesn’t care for Saraya or Willow, so let’s go “Daphne Blake.”
Jab at Hayter’s red hair looking like Daphne from Scooby-Doo aside, Hayter and Willow circle, only for Saraya and Harley to slide in! The Outcasts CLUB Willow & Hayter down, but there’s nothing to be done about it in a Fatal 4 Way! Saraya CLUBS away on Willow, Harley THRASHES and CHOKES Hayter! Saraya kicks Willow out, Harley TOSSES Hayter, and then Saraya whips Willow into railing! Hayter ROCKS Harley, but Saraya SMACKS Willow off the apron! These four brawl it out, and wait, is Nyla climbing a corner?! The fans fire up as she aims at the cluster! “SURPRISE, B*TCHES!” SUPER CROSSBODY wipes out everyone!!
Mariah can’t even as Nyla fires up, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Nyla KICKS Saraya aside, then scuffs her for good measure. Nyla CLUBS Hayter, and then puts Saraya in the ring. Nyla storms up but Saraya asks for mercy. Nyla says nope, and BOOTS Saraya! Nyla rains down fists, then scoops and SLAMS! Cover, TWO! Saraya toughs it out, but Nyla drags Saraya up. But Saraya sends Nyla into buckles! Saraya KNEES Nyla, TOSSES her out, then talks some smack. Willow climbs to the apron but Saraya BOOTS her down! Harley stomps away on Nyla because she can, and Saraya tells her to go after Willow. Harley does as told and she THRASHES Willow. But Hayter sends Saraya into railing!
Hayter sends Saraya into railing again, and then says one more time! Hayter SLINGS Saraya into railing, and flexes. Hayter stomps Saraya, but Harley goes after Hayter! Willow goes after Harley, then ROCKS Saraya! And none of them notice Nyla is bringing out chairs, and a TABLE! The brawling continues by the ramp side but Nyla grins as she puts a table in the ring. Willow scoops, Saraya slips free and SHOVES Willow into railing. Harley jumps on Nyla because she saw what Nyla’s been up to! Harley CLUBS away on Nyla, then fixes her top before we have a malfunction. Saraya mule kicks Hayter, then storms after her.
Hayter chases Harley down first and SLINGS her into railing! But Saraya CLOBBERS Hayter! Saraya tells fans to shut up, and she drags Hayter up. Saraya SLINGS Hayter into railing now. Saraya picks up the broom Nyla brought out, and uses the handle to CHOKE Hayter! The ref reprimands but that’s all he can do. Hayter powers out and turns things around, to suplex Saraya onto the broom! Saraya writhes, Hayter leaves her behind, and she meets Willow in the ring. These two circle again, and Dynamite returns to single picture as they start throwing hands! The fans fire up, then Hater clinches. Willow ducks the lariat, kicks low, but Hayter slips free of the gut wrench!
Hayter clinches again, HAYTBREAKER! But Saraya YAKUZA KICKS Hayter! But Nyla LARIATS Saraya! Willow is up, she SPINEBUSTERS Nyla! All four women are down in the ring and the fans are thunderous! Mariah just likes that this is how badly they’re beating each other up. She doesn’t mind a night off so she can finally have her celebration with Mina Shirakawa. All four women drag themselves up in different corners, and the fans fire up! Hayter DECKS Saraya, ROCKS Willow, then BOOTS Nyla! Hayter ELBOWS Willow, whips Nyla to a corner, then stomps a mudhole into Nyla.
Hayter runs corner to corner to UPPERCUT Willow, then runs back to UPPERCUT Nyla! Hayter sends Nyla into Willow, then reels them both in! The fans fire up as Hayter somehow DOUBLE SUPLEXES Willow and Nyla!! The fans are thunderous, but here comes Saraya with a chair! Hayter stops the attack, and she takes the chair from Saraya! Hayter swings, Saraya manages to block with her arms, but the force knocks her down! Hayter SMACKS Saraya on the back, and SMACKS her again! Saraya bails out, Hayter pursues, now the metaphorical tables have turned from that “Saraya’s Rules” match!
Hayter chases Saraya, but here comes Harley! Harley CLUBS Hayter, but Hayter THROWS her into barriers! Hayter stalks Saraya, but is that PENELOPE FORD!? Mrs. Superbad is back, and she SMACKS Hayter!! Hayter is pissed, but Penelope leads her on a chase up the ramp! Mariah mockingly says, “Go get her, Daphne! One down, three to go.” Willow and Nyla fire forearms, but Nyla scoops to WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM! Nyla fires up, she brings Willow up, and CLUBS her down. Saraya runs up to fire forearms! Nyla dodges Saraya, wrenches and STRAITJACKET NECKBREAKER!
Mariah asks when is Nyla gonna use that table, and then things start moving that way! Mariah joins in on the “We Want Tables!” chant. Nyla goes up the corner instead, so Mariah asks why bother. But then Harley SHOVES Nyla off the top!! Nyla hits apron on the way down! The ref checks on Nyla, and Harley takes the table for her own! The Outcasts get the table in the ring, and Mariah says yes, hurt everyone as much as possible. The Outcasts can’t get the table to cooperate, and Willow CLUBS Saraya! Willow drags Saraya in but Saraya fires body shots. Saraya fires forearms, then reels Willow in. GOOD KNIGHT DDT! Cover, TWO!!
Willow survives and Saraya seethes. But Harley finally figures out how to slide a table in. The Outcasts wedge the table into a corner, but Willow is up! She DOUBLE LARIATS, then she brings Harley around to send into Saraya! The fans fire up as Willow reels Harley in, gut wrench, BABE WITH THE POWER BOBM! But then Saraya ROCKS Willow! Roll-up, TWO! Saraya tries again, but Willow fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER through the table!!! The fans are thunderous, Willow stacks Harley and Saraya to cover, Willow wins!!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Championship)
Mariah is very upset, this was her least favorite option. It will be a rematch from the 2024 Owen Hart Cup, and for the top prize in AEW! But while Willow is celebrating up the ramp, Mariah leaves commentary to meet her on stage. Mariah holds up the belt, but Willow sees the slap coming and blocks it! Willow says not so fast, but then Mariah HEADBUTTS her!! Willow flops right over, and Mariah says if you like that, here’s this! Mariah LASHES Willow with the belt! The fans boo, but Mariah holds up the title. Will The Glamour prove there is no one that can stop her reign of terror? Or will the Babe with the Power rise up to be the hero of this story?
The Learning Tree and his Branches are backstage.
Bad Apple Bryan Keith tells the cameraman to follow him, and he leads the way to The Redwood and Chris Jericho. Big Bill says, “The Learning Tree always says, ‘The people that need the lessons the most want them the least.'” And Jericho says let’s go talk to one of those people right now. C’mon, guys. These three head down the hallway, and they find Rocky Romero. Azucar says hey, wanna throw fists? Jericho says no, no, relax. This is no time for fighting. This is a time for learning. Keith says class is in session! Yeah, and the lesson is this. They’re just trying to help Rocky learn his own self-worth, his own self-esteem.
Right now, Rocky does not realize his own value. But Rocky is an international superstar! He’s been wrestling for decades! And yet, Rocky’s “friends” invite him to join The Conglomeration months after it starts? And they just give him a shirt? Keith points out Rocky ain’t even on the shirt! And then what? Rocky is to “neutralize” Mark Sterling? That’s as low as it gets in the food chain here. And last week on Rampage, when Rocky tries to be a hero and thwarts Jericho, well, Jericho admits that throw into the steel steps was a good one. But Rocky still ended up on his back while his “friends,” Cassidy & Kyle were celebrating in the ring.
Rocky, is this really what you want for your career? To be a lackey? Rocky says he’s no man’s lackey! Okay, okay, calm down. They’re just trying to teach Rocky a lesson. Bill says sometimes, when you’re in the picture, you can’t see the “big picture.” Jericho says that’s the truth. Thanks, Rocky. Jericho & Bill head out, but Keith says Jericho is the future ROH World Champion, you better respect him. Rocky says, “Or what?” Keith says, “Or else!” Keith now leaves, but will Rocky let these words get in his head?
Jay White w/ Juice Robinson VS Cody Chhun!
The Switchblade made his return last week, saving his Bang Bang Gang teammate from Hangman Page. But will White shake off any ring rust he has here tonight? Or can #ClassicCody catch White off guard?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally for White, he and Cody tie up. White headlocks, Cody powers up and out, but White runs him over! The fans fire up, and White CHOPS Cody to a corner. The fans cheer, Juice mockingly asks how Cody feels, and then White CHOPS him again! White stomps Cody in a corner, RAMS into him again and again, then lets off as the ref counts. White offers a high-five, but Aubrey says no thanks. White reels Cody in to scoop, but Cody slips free to atomic drop! And DROPKICK! Cody CHOPS White in the corner, CHOPS again, and then whips corner to corner. White reverses, Cody goes up and over!
Cody reels White in to DDT! Cover, ONE!! White is still tougher than that and Juice coaches him up. Cody storms up to CHOP, CHOP and whip. White slides to a stop, comes back and LARIATS! The fans fire up and White has a sinister look in his eyes. White stalks Cody, winds up, and CHOPS! And JABS, JABS, and CHOPS! JAB, JAB, CHOP! The ref counts, White whips corner to corner, then runs up to UPPERCUT! White reels Cody in, CORNER HALF HATCH! Cody flounders but White drags him back up. White clinches for an URENAGE! White says that’s not all, here’s a BLADERUNNER! Cover, White wins!
Winner: Jay White, by pinfall
Ring rust? Well, maybe a little. But the Switchblade still cuts like a knife, and he grabs himself a mic. “Guns up for my Spokane Gold Members~!” The fans cheer, and White tells Hangman, “I told you, you’re one of two men that knocked me off on my path to the AEW World Championship. That means you are one of two wrongs that I have to correct. And Hangman, you are lucky number one! Last week, I made that very, very clear to you, Hangman. So now I ask you, what’re you gonna do about it?!
“I’d imagine, Hangman, he won’t be quiet about it. I’d imagine he’s gonna be coming around that bend, guns blazing, steaming from the ears, veins popping out of his head! Because I meddled in his business. And now The Hangman is coming for ME!” The fans cheer, and White says that is perfect. Because that is what White wants! White wants Hangman VS Switchblade once more! And when White beats Hangman and puts an end to the “new” Hangman, White corrects wrong number two, and then moves on to the gold! The fans cheer but White says hold on, he’s not done.
It’s funny how the same voices that have booed and despised him for years are now the same voices that are willing into existence Switchblade Jay White as AEW World Champion! And Hangman, it starts with you! And it starts this Saturday at WrestleDream! “Giddy-up, Cowboy!!” The shootout is coming to Tacoma, but who will be number one with a bullet?
Hook is backstage.
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil has a cameraman, and he says, “You know why I’m here. You know what I’m looking for. I’m done chasing your punk ass! Whoever jumped my father, reveal yourselves! I’ll be right here!” Kip Sabian bumps into Hook and Hook pushes him into a wall! Hook asks if he has something to say! Kip has no idea what Hook’s going on about! Kip has nothing to do with Taz, so Hook lets him go. Hook says he’ll be here all night. He’s looking! But then in steps The Patriarchy. Christian Cage has Mother Wayne and Nick by his side, and Christian asks if Hook’s seen Kip Sabian around.
Hook says nope. And he asks Captain Charisma if he has something to say to Hook. Christian does, actually. They’re both family men, aren’t they? They’ve both been through a rough time lately. The Patriarchy lost Killswitch/Luchasaurus to a serious medical condition, so Christian can sympathize with Hook on the “loss” of his father. The Patriarchy moves on, but Hook’s search continues. Will Hook find the culprit, or culprits, behind the attack on Taz?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Renee is with The Glamour, saying it is now official for WrestleDream. The AEW Women’s World Championship will be on the line, Mariah May VS Willow Nightingale, WHO POUNCES MARIAH OUTTA FRAME!! Willow says Mariah has said enough, so Willow will keep it short and sweet. “Tonight, I beat three former Women’s World Champs. And on Saturday, at WrestleDream, I’ll make Mariah May a former champ when I become the NEW AEW Women’s World Champion.” Willow thanks Renee and heads out. Will Mariah never get her championship celebration at this rate?
AEW TBS & NJPW Strong Women’s Double Championship Match: Mercedes Mone w/ Kamille VS Emi Sakura!
The CEO continues to build her Money Corporation empire, but she is going double or nothing on this one! Will Mone prove she’s an ace by trumping the Queen of Joshi? Or will Emi take two thrones with one match?
The introductions are made, both belts are raised, and it is time to see if the Face of TBS is still NJPW Strong!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Mone arm-drags, and then soaks up the cheers and jeers with her CEO dance. Emi shrugs that off as she and Mone circle. They approach, and then Emi dodges Mone to laugh at her. Mone is annoyed, and she kicks Emi low! Mone pulls hair, whips, but Emi reverses to pull hair in return! The ref reprimands, but Emi puts Mone in a corner. Emi laughs before she BIELS Mone away! Mone goes to a corner, Kamille protests, but then Mone YANKS Emi into buckles. Mone stomps Emi, hushes the crowd, and CHOPS! Emi is stinging but Mone follows her to another corner.
Mone CHOPS, fans “WOO~” and Mone bumps Emi off buckles. Emi dodges a chop to CHOP! Emi CHOPS again, and again, and again! The fans fire up as Emi MACHINE GUN CHOPS! But Mone scrambles away before Emi can punctuate it! Kamille rallies the fans but Emi pokes Mone. Cover, ONE! Mone JAWBREAKERS Emi, runs, but they RAM shoulders! Emi shakes her head, then runs to RAM Mone! Mone shakes her head, and they both run! Mone wrenches under to CHOP, knuckle lock, and CHOP again! Mone goes up and up to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up, Mone runs up, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER!
The fans fire up more while Mone writhes. Emi drags Mone to a corner, CHOPS again, then goes corner to corner. Emi laughs, runs in, but Mone dodges! Emi hits buckles, Mone HOTSHOTS her in the ropes! Emi flops out of the ring, Mone pursues, and she METEORAS to the floor! Mone high-fives with Kamille, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Mone soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Emi up. Mone pushes Emi into the ring, pushes her to a cover, TWO! Emi stays in this and Mone is annoyed. Mone drags Emi up, puts her in ropes, and CHOKES her! The ref reprimands, Mone lets off, but now Kamille CHOKES Emi! Kamille gets away with it and Mone covers, TWO! Emi toughs it out, but Mone rains down fists! Mone pushes Emi to a cover, TWO! Mone is frustrated with Emi, and drags her around to HIP DROP an arm! Emi body shots in return but Mone KNEES her down! Mone eggs Emi on, then sits on her like she’s a bench! Mone pushes Emi to a cover, TWO!
Kamille coaches Mone, Mone CLUBS Emi, then throws in elbows! Mone clamps on a chinlock and she grinds Emi down. Emi endures, fights up, fights around, and then rolls Mone up! TWO!! Mone escapes, and DROPKICKS Emi right down! Cover, TWO!! Emi survives that hard shot and Mone is growing frustrated. Mone paces around Emi, HIP DROPS her, then taunts her. Mone sits Emi up, clamps on a neck wrench, then a chinlock. Emi endures so Mone KICKS her in the back! Mone drags Emi back up, snap suplexes, and covers, TWO! Emi stays in this, but Mone KNEES her in the back! Mone has the arms for a motorcycle stretch!
Emi endures, Kamille is frustrated on Mone’s behalf, but the fans rally up. Mone twists the arms and digs in her knee, but Emi still endures. Dynamite returns to single picture, and she fights around to stand back up. Emi powers through to RAM Mone, and RAM her again! And then CHOP! Mone sputters to the corner, and Emi whips corner to corner. Mone goes up and over, then reels Emi in for a BACKSTABBER! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Emi survives by a literal foot and Mone is beside herself with anger! Mone pounds the mat in frustration, then aims from a corner. Mone runs in, METEORA in the corner!
Mone goes side to side now, but Emi slips out, so Mone’s dropkick takes her right out of the ring! The fans fire up, and Mone shakes out her legs. Mone runs, uses the steps to leap, but Emi dodges! Emi kicks Mone, underhooks, and lifts! Kamille runs up but Emi SMACKS her with Mone’s feet! Then Emi SLAMS Mone onto the railing! Mone is stuck, Emi runs up to SPLASH her against the barriers! The fans fire up, Emi refreshes the ring count, and Kamille check son Mone. Emi says move aside, “dekai-onna!” (Large Woman, aka Amazon) Emi SMACKS Kamille off the railing again and again and again!
The fans fire up as now Brickhouse sits down beside Mone. Emi runs up, to DOUBLE SPLASH against barriers!! The fans are thunderous, Emi drags Mone up, puts her in the ring, and mocks the CEO dance!

Emi endures, reaches out, but TAPS! Mone wins!!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission (still AEW TBS & NJPW Strong Women’s Champion)
The insurance policy that is Kamille pays off, but now they wanna make Emi pay! Mone drags Emi up, Kamille winds up, but the ref says don’t! Wait! Here comes Kris Statlander! Mone runs away but Kamille stands to fight with Stat! They brawl and the fans fire up! Kris dodges a boot to then BOOT Kamille! Kamille tumbles out, and Mone says time to retreat! Mone & Kamille let Kris have her moment, but when and where will we see female titans clash?
Backstage interview with Private Party.
Renee Paquette is with Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy, and says we are just days away from their shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Before getting to that, Stokely Hathaway has asked for time with them, and he steps into frame. Renee asks Stokely what’s on his mind. Stokely says he has been watching Private Party for the past few weeks, and notes that every time they get a chance, they knock it out of the park. That is something the three of them have in common. Because at All Out, Stokely proved he could take down the most lovable person in AEW. If he can do that, imagine what he can do.
As for Quen & Kassidy, they have all the tools, but they’re just missing one thing. That one thing is this: Stokely! So at WrestleDream, Private Party with #BigStoke in their corner, what do they say? Quen says wow, another guy ready to jump on the band wagon. A couple weeks? Where was he the last five YEARS? Where was he when they were struggling? Now that they’re the #1 contenders, Stokely wants in? Thanks, but no thanks. They don’t need him. Stokely says okay, that’s not the right move to make, but it’s their careers, they can do whatever they want. Stokely heads out, will he just have to find another team to manage?
Meanwhile, Zay says yeah, this is the perfect move. Because for the first time in five years, they are doing it themselves. For the first time in five years, they are on their own terms. For the first time in five years, they have an opportunity like this! For the first time in five years, they are on a PPV with an official tag team championship match! They don’t want this, they NEED this! They are desperate for the titles! Young Bucks, you got complacent, so allow them to put that chip back on your shoulders. This Saturday, WrestleDream, Private Party will beat The Bucks, take their spot, and Private Party will be THE AEW World Tag Team Champions.
And then after that, it’ll be a party everyone is invited to! Will Quen & Zay make the most of their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS? Or will The EVPs find a way to stay on top?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone notes that also at WrestleDream, it will be a Triple Threat for the AEW International Championship. Will Ospreay not only defends against Konosuke Takeshita, but also against Ricochet! With that in mind, let’s welcome the champion, Will Ospreay! Spokane fires up as The Aerial Assassin makes his way out to the ring. Schiavone welcomes Ospreay, and says just last week, Ospreay and Ricochet had an incredible match. A double pinfall draw, both men wanted more time and got more time, but then in comes Konosuke Takeshita. And that was after Don Callis & Kyle Fletcher left the arena, but surely what happened had Callis’ fingerprints all over it.
Ospreay says honestly, he’d love to say that’s a lie, but Schiavone might be on to something. Last week was meant to be Ospreay VS Ricochet, and it was meant to be Ospreay looking at the past, beating Ricochet, and moving on. The only thing we can say for sure at the end was that Ospreay and Ricochet are equal. That is because of one man, and one man only, in Takeshita. The fans boo The Alpha, but Ospreay says he has been part of the Family, he knows how they operate, so he knows damn well that Takeshita doesn’t do anything without Callis giving the go-ahead. So Ospreay is here for answers, and he wants them right now!
Ospreay tells Callis, “Let’s have a chat.” Everyone watches the stage, and with a literal low note, here comes Don Callis. The fans boo as Callis makes his way down to the ring, but Ospreay refuses the hug. Callis says he has something very important to say to Ospreay. The fans boo more, but Callis says last week was very difficult for Callis emotionally. He hates to see Ospreay unhappy. And it got Callis thinking. Remember when they beat Kenny Omega at Forbidden Door? Or beating Chris Jericho at All In? Great times, right? Ospreay tells Callis to stop talking about last year, we’re here for last week, and it is a simple question.
Did Callis send Takeshita out to attack Ospreay? The fans boo but Callis says he thinks maybe Ospreay is asking the wrong question. Ospreay says Callis is “waffling on,” it is a simple yes or no! DID CALLIS SEND TAKESHITA?! Callis says Ospreay doesn’t need to know that! What Ospreay should be asking is- Ospreay says just tell the damn truth!! Callis says he’s trying to tell him! Callis stammers as Ospreay gets in his, demanding to know if that was Callis’s idea! Callis shouts YES!!! HE SENT TAKESHITA!! The fans boo even harder now, but Callis says he sent Takeshita out there, out of frustration.
Ospreay just wouldn’t listen. Callis tried to give him good advice, Ospreay refused it, so Callis had to show Ospreay who makes decisions in The Family! He sent Takeshita to show Ospreay. Ospreay doesn’t wanna talk about the past? Forget last week, how about two weeks ago? The tag title match, they were this close to winning! And Ospreay dropped the ball, because he is weak! Too mentally weak to do what needed to be done! Ospreay tells Callis that he’s having a laugh. The tag team champions? Ospreay has the International Championship! And if Callis hadn’t stuck his nose in at Forbidden Door, Ospreay could’ve brought the AEW World Championship, too!
But no, Callis has always gotta stick his nose into other people’s business! So allow Ospreay, the best wrestler in the world, to tell Callis that Callis doesn’t know s*it, bruv!! The fans fire up for that one! Callis says, “The Best Wrestler in the World? Y’know what, Will? I HAD the Best Wrestler in the World, and I threw him in the garbage for you! So maybe, Will, like I did before, maybe I need to throw the Best Wrestler in the World in the garbage one more time.” The fans boo, and Ospreay says he cannot believe he ever had respect for Callis. Callis is just who everyone warned Ospreay about. Callis is utter scum.
Ospreay says he and Callis are DONE! Callis is furious, and he SLAPS Ospreay! Then he instantly regrets it. Ospreay sets the belt aside, and he grabs at Callis by the coat! He TOSSES Callis, throws off his own coat, but here comes Takeshita! Ospreay and Takeshita brawl, and Ospreay has the edge! But Kyle Fletcher gets in, pulls Ospreay back, and Ospreay almost punches Kyle! Kyle asks what Ospreay is doing and Ospreay explains it’s all Callis! But then Takeshita GERMAN SUPLEXES Ospreay, with a HIGH release! Kyle now regrets even distracting Ospreay, but Callis says this is what Ospreay gets for turning on The Family.
Callis brings out a screwdriver!? Kyle says hell no, he’s not doing that to a friend! Takeshita holds Ospreay up, and Callis puts the screwdriver in Kyle’s hand. Callis says do it! But Kyle says no! Callis is mad with Kyle now, but Kyle threatens Callis with the screwdriver! Takeshita steps in, telling Kyle he doesn’t want to do this. Kyle says yeah, and he bails completely. And Ospreay fires fists on Takeshita again! So Callis CLAWS Ospreay’s face! ALPHA ELBOW from Takeshita!! Callis hands the belt to Takeshita, but here comes Ricochet! The One & Only hurries in, to SPRINGBOARD FLYING LARIAT!
Takeshita flounders, but he avoids Ricochet’s curb stomp! Ricochet dares Takeshita to bring it, but then he makes sure to give the belt back to Ospreay. The Triple Threat is coming, who leaves WrestleDream holding the gold?
Top Flight speaks.
Darius Martin says people keep asking how they feel after losing the #1 Contenders Triple Threat on Collision. Well, they’re pissed off! They know that they’re better than those other two teams and that they should be the ones wrestling The Bucks on Saturday. Dante says agreed. In fact, Top Flight has beaten The Bucks, so there’s no reason they shouldn’t already have a tag title match! Action Andretti says, “No reason? No no, there IS a reason you guys ain’t wrestling The Bucks this Saturday at WrestleDream! You guys, y’all ain’t fired up! You’re sitting here, complaining about-”
Leila Grey shouts Action down! Because right now, he is the problem! He is the reason that messed it all up! What? No, he did what was best for them! What he did last week SCREWED them!! Action says they just don’t get it, then he storms off. Dante says Action is all go and no think, and that is going to cost them if they don’t fix it. Dante & Leila go the other direction, and Darius is caught in the middle. What is it that has to change if Top Flight Airlines wants to reach a championship destination?
Jack Perry speaks.
“AEW: Where the Best Wrestle. Now there’s a lot you can say about Shibata. He’s a legend. He’s the embodiment of Fighting Spirit. He’s got a damn turkey leg in his trunks. But are you still one of the best? These days, you let your phone do all the talking for you, but I wanna have a conversation in the language that you really speak: violence. I wanna meat the Shibata who almost killed himself in the center of the ring because he was willing to fight that hard, because he was willing to sacrifice that much. There’s no question, you deserve to be the TNT Champion. But I’ve come to find about what you deserve, it’s about what you are willing to take.
“This says that I am one of the best. Come and take it from me.” The Scapegoat has called out The Wrestler to bring out THE Wrestler, but will he regret asking for that much?
Bryan Danielson & Wheeler Yuta VS Claudio Castagnoli & PAC!
While The Final Countdown is playing, The American Dragon has promised this will NOT be his final Dynamite. Will he and The Decoder stand strong in Spokane? Or will The Swiss Superman & The Bastard make sure Moxley has an easier time slaying The Dragon at WrestleDream?
The teams sort out and Bryan starts against Pac. The bell rings, the fans rally for Bryan, and the “YES! YES! YES!” starts up. Pac and Bryan circle, but then Bryan DROPKICKS Claudio! Pac kicks Bryan, CLUBS him to a corner, then stomps away. The ref counts, Pac stops, and fans rally for Bryan. Pac whips corner to corner, Bryan goes up and over, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then DIVES onto Claudio! Yuta MISSILE DROPKICKS Pac! The fans fire up, and Bryan coordinates with Yuta. Yuta DIVES onto Pac while Bryan FLYING KNEE ATTACKS Claudio! Spokane fires up for Bryan & Yuta as they high-five!
Bryan puts Pac in, grabs a leg, and he drags him around. Bryan hooks up Pac’s legs, and he pulls on the arms! And pulls, pulls, and ROMERO SPECIAL! Bryan lets Pac down enough to tag in Yuta, and Yuta runs to SHOTGUN Pac! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays on Pac with a wristlock, and he wrenches the arm to tag in Bryan. Bryan & Yuta mug Pac, and Bryan UPPERCUTS! Pac goes to a corner, kicks in return, and then CLAWS Bryan’s face! Pac bumps Bryan off buckles, the ref reprimands, but Pac tags Claudio. Claudio fires body shots on Bryan, and UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, and Claudio stops.
Claudio drags Bryan up, UPPERCUTS again, then tags in Pac. The mugging is returned to Bryan, and Pac bumps Bryan off buckles. Pac stomps Bryan, digs his boot in, but the ref counts. Pac steps away, brings him around, and bumps him off buckles. Tag to Claudio and he stomps Bryan now. The fans boo more but Claudio stands Bryan up. Bryan UPPERCUTS first! And again! Claudio UPPERCUTS in return! Claudio stomps away on Bryan again, then digs his boot in. The ref backs Claudio up, but Claudio runs up to stomp Bryan! Tag to Pac, and he kicks at Bryan from the outside. The ref reprimands so Pac steps inside.
Pac drags Bryan up, reels him in, back suplex! Bryan lands out, hot tag to Yuta! Yuta CLOBBERS Pac, hits an atomic drop, then an ENZIGIRI! Pac goes to a corner, Yuta runs up to CHOP, ROCK, and repeat! The fans fire up, the ref counts, but Yuta roars as he lets off. Pac staggers, into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Pac survives but Yuta holds on, and he shifts around. Yuta hooks the arms for CATTLE MUTILATION! The fans fire up, but Claudio steps in. Claudio just deadlifts Yuta off Pac! The fans boo as Yuta and Claudio stare down. Yuta SLAPS Claudio! Claudio keeps cool, but Bryan runs up to DROPKICK!
Claudio tumbles out, Bryan builds speed, and Bryan DIVES! But Claudio catches Bryan! SNAKE EYES off the railing, and then NEUTRALIZER on the floor! Yuta is stunned, and Pac SUPERKICKS him! Yuta falls, The Bastard’s in control, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Pac huffs ‘n’ puffs while he looms over Yuta. Pac drags Yuta up, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Claudio. Claudio steps in, and Yuta SLAPS him again! Claudio snapmares Yuta to then smother him into the mat! The ref reprimands, but Claudio digs his forearms into the back of Yuta’s head. Yuta fights up, but Claudio GUT WRENCH PLEXES! Yuta flounders, Claudio storms up on him, and Yuta CHOPS! Claudio is more disappointed than anything. Yuta CHOPS again, but Claudio pushes him to the corner. Tag to Pac and he CHOPS Yuta. Pac brings Yuta around, Bryan is still on the ground, and Pac snap suplexes Yuta!
Pac watches as Yuta goes to a corner. Pac runs up to UPPERCUT! Cover, ONE!! Yuta shakes his head, but Pac eggs him on then. Yuta stands to CHOP! Pac SOBATS in return! Pac bumps Yuta off buckles, BOOTS him, then tags Claudio. Claudio has Pac back off, but then Yuta RAMS into Claudio. Claudio smothers Yuta and goes for a top wristlock. Yuta fights around, uses a leg guard, but Claudio keeps pushing. They stand, and Yuta JAWBREAKERS free! Yuta runs, into a BACKDROP! Yuta goes flying! Claudio drags him all the way to the corner, and he tags Pac. Pac digs his boot into Yuta, but then tags Claudio back in as the ref counts.
Pac steps off, Claudio eggs Yuta on, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Claudio uses another chinbar to smother Yuta, and he shifts into a SLEEPER! Yuta endures, even as Claudio leans on him. The fans rally as Yuta fights up, and Bryan has managed to crawl to the ramp, but that’s still quite a distance from the corner. Yuta CHOPS, ROCKS, but Claudio shoves him! BACKDROP, sunset flip! Claudio stays up, but Yuta slips away before Claudio can grab him. But there’s no Bryan to tag! Claudio storms up to GERMAN SUPLEX Yuta away! Yuta flounders, Claudio tags Pac.

Pac brings that in, Claudio keeps the ref further distracted, but Yuta snatches the hammer!
The fans cheer as Yuta does the right thing. Bryan then waits on Pac to turn around, takedown! Omoplata, LEBELL LOCK!!! Pac TAPS, Bryan & Yuta win!!
Winners: Bryan Danielson & Wheeler Yuta, by submission
Moxley is frustrated, but then Bryan WRECKS him with a dropkick! Bryan fires hands on Moxley and chases him up the ramp! They even fight backstage, going past gorilla position!

The fans boo, but now Marina drags Yuta up for muay thai knees! We see more brawling from Bryan and Moxley, and Bryan has the edge as he SMACKS Moxley off road cases!

The fans fire up as Bryan stands tall in the ring! “YES! YES! YES!” The American Dragon tells Moxley this is what’s coming for him this Saturday. Will Bryan make WrestleDream into Moxley’s Final Countdown?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here as the go-home to WrestleDream, and the only real go-home to it because there is no Collision, and they didn’t even announce what Rampage has because it probably doesn’t matter. Though because of all that, this was perhaps the most talkative Dynamite in a long time, if not of all time. Now granted, opening with a string of promos makes sense when you consider this Dynamite has the one hour overlap with NXT (unless like me, you live in a sad market like El Paso, then it’s a full overlap). As such, they did the best they could to fill the opening half hour or so with talk. It was well done, but it’s hard to say Moxley or Bryan added anything to their feud.
What did matter was how Don Callis made a deal with Jake the Snake, and how Daniel Garcia is STILL All Elite. Great stuff for Garcia, I really hope he does get a championship past WrestleDream. Shibata promised as much, and then Jack Perry had a very good promo in response, but it feels more like Perry cheats Shibata, and it is Perry VS Garcia at the next event. AEW Full Gear is in Newark, New Jersey, so it’s close enough for Garcia, a Buffalo New Yorker, to have that homefield advantage. Garcia having his moment about as close to home as AEW can manage would be so great, it has to be what’s happening.
As for that deal of Callis and The Snake, something about it really works out. La Faccion Ingobernable no longer has Jose the Assistant, but now they have a legend in Jake Roberts helping them, that’ll be good stuff. And assuming Will Hobbs is also Don Callis Family when he returns, he and Lance Archer are two monsters that can quite truly destroy a lot of people and take whatever belts they want. Hologram VS Komander was insanely good, like a PPV level match but here on TV. And then with LFI attacking them both, all they’d need is a third luchador and we’d have an incredible feud right there.
Ospreay and Callis had a great promo segment together, especially with bringing in Konosuke and Kyle and all of that. As it stands, Konosuke was standing tall until Ricochet showed up, and then Ricochet touches the belt. All that signals Ospreay finds a way to retain because it is a Triple Threat. But I really like that Kyle resisted the screwdriver, I really hope he breaks away completely and truly goes United Empire with Ospreay here in AEW. Very good promo from Darby with Brody King, though Darby’s promo on Collision seems obsolete now. I think I even said as much on Collision, because we were of course getting this kind of promo tonight. Great detail of Brody turning things around, too, saying Darby is in denial about how selfish he’s being. Again, their match could steal the show.
While it is a shame Britt Baker couldn’t make the trip out, it works out better for Willow because I felt like Britt was gonna win the 1v1. The Fatal 4 Way alternative was awesome, I’m a little surprised it was Penelope Ford getting after Hayter, and then Willow gets a great win. However, while Mariah beat Willow up on stage, Willow got even with her backstage, the match is kind of muddied. I feel like Mariah finds a way, though, because there needs to be more story of her and Mina Shirakawa as we head for the end of the year. Mariah VS Mina should be just as passionate and gritty as Mariah VS Toni in terms of the build and the anticipation and the finale.
Mina doesn’t even have to win the title, but she can have the moral victory should Mariah sink to new lows and cheat even her oldest and dearest friend. Then Mariah and Hayter can meet up after Hayter deals with Penelope. Meanwhile, Mone VS Emi was another awesome match, Emi really got to unleash her full arsenal here. But naturally, Mone won because Kris Statlander is coming after her! Kris VS Kamille has to be happening soon, maybe even at WrestleDream so that Kris VS Mone can be Full Gear.
Good promo from Stokely with Private Party, but you can bet Stokely will recruit a tag team that deserves a good spotlight. That team can cost Private Party, then we feud into Full Gear and such, even though that’s really a shame for Private Party because they should get a turn with the titles. Very good video package from Swerve, and it makes a lot of sense for Swerve to meet with MVP during WrestleDream, that could even be the moment where Bobby Lashley shows he is All Elite. Good return match for Jay White and very good promo to set up White VS Hangman. That’ll be a great match, and it could probably go either way with how dastardly Hangman has been.
Good promo from Hook interacting with Kip Sabian and The Patriarchy. While Taz’s attacker probably isn’t any of those guys, this does help tease a feud of Hook with Patriarchy over the father figure stuff. Kip might even end up an unlikely ally so Hook can fight Christian & Nick at the same time. And then a great tag match main event for this BCC Civil War stuff, helping bookend the night with that story. Great win for Bryan & Yuta, and then great brawling and beatdown to follow. Now, the thing is, with Bryan standing tall over everyone, there’s a very good chance something in Yuta mentally snaps and he turns on Bryan, allowing Moxley to win. It’d be wild WrestleDream is Bryan’s last match, and it’d be bittersweet with it being in Washington.
My Score: 8.9/10

Blood & Guts 2025 was the most brutal one yet, and yet the most brutal faction in AEW lost! The Bastard, The Decoder & The Red Death want to take out their anger, but will they be standing tall after this Collision? Or will The Franchise Player, #AllGenresAdam & The Dynamite Kid just add insult to injury?
Garcia gets into it with Matt Menard during the entrance, and then Garcia SLAPS the headset off of Daddy Magic! The fans cheer Menard on as he throws hands with Garcia! Nigel & Schiavone do their best to stay back, Pac & Yuta tell Garcia to leave Menard alone, they’ve got the match to worry about.

The fans rally as Tommy fights back, but Pac CLUBS him down. Pac stomps Tommy, digs his boots in, then argues with the ref. That lets Yuta & Garcia get cheap shots in!

Moxley says, “And that’s how it’s done.” The Death Riders rebound from Blood & Guts, but Pac grabs a mic to talk. “Oi, oi, oi…! From what I’ve heard, Darby Allin, he isn’t here tonight. And I can’t say I’m surprised. Y’see, what I did to Darby Allin at Blood & Guts, it was bloody beautiful. It was the best thing that I’ve ever done! Y’see, I’ve achieved a lot in professional wrestling, but standing and watching him burn… Well, I consider that my magnum opus! My piece la resistance! A masterpiece nonetheless. And no doubt, if Darby is still alive, he’ll want some form of petty revenge. Well, hey! Darby! I’ll be honest with ya: that’s no skin off my ball sack, ya little freak!
“Y’see, you wanna piece of me? No problem! Me and you, mano y mano, any time, any where! And where better than one week from tonight, live on PPV from New Jersey, AEW Full Gear? Y’see, Darby, you get a chance at retribution. But I get a chance to prove to the entire world, live on PPV, that a punk like you doesn’t belong int he same conversation, never mind the same league, as a competitor like ME!” The fans boo, but Pac tells Darby, “Have a little think about it, and let me know, wontcha? I’ll be waiting.” The Bastard has thrown out the challenge, but will- or rather, can Darby Allin accept?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis.
Lexy Nair is with Aussie Open as she brings up the big week for the Don Callis Family. Tonight, Mark Davis takes on Mark Briscoe while Kyle defends the TNT Championship against Scorpio Sky. If successful, we will get Fletcher VS Briscoe 6 at Full Gear. Fletcher is already annoyed, because he is sick of talking about Briscoe! Briscoe has been a thorn in The Family’s side for far too long. At Full Gear, Fletcher puts Briscoe in his place for good. But tonight, Briscoe has to deal with this man! Davis tells “Chicken Man Briscoe” that he won’t even make it to Full Gear, because after Davis wins tonight, chicken is for dinner! RARARARAR!
Fletcher says goodness. Good for Davis, but on Fletcher’s menu is Scorpio Sky. Fletcher tells Scorpio that he is very impressive, undefeated since returning, and a former two-time TNT Champion. But with the roll Fletcher is on, it stops for NOBODY. Get ready to say his full name. Will The Protostar & Dunkzilla dominate on behalf of the Callis Family? Or can a lot change in just one night?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with the Timeless Love Bombs. Lexy notes that no one left Blood & Guts unscathed. Mina is clearly not cleared to compete tonight, and- Toni takes the mic to stop Lexy so that she can say, “Five women made me watch a mugging, a massacre, a murder. Now you can do what you like to me, Toni Storm lives and dies every damn day. But when you touch the woman I love… A woman who brings color to a world that is black ‘n’ white… Then you gain admission to a film, a cinema verité, that stars five sh*t-ass slop tarts and two horror show whores with a lust for vengeance who will love bomb the crap out of you!
“And since it’s your turn to watch, we promise to look good when we do it. Any time, any place. The show must go on. Don’t ask God for mercy, He’s a big fan of our work.” The femme fatale has spoken, but when and where will she and the Fighting Gravure Idol get their hands on Megan, Marina, and the rest?
Mark Briscoe VS Mark Davis!
The Sussex County Chicken almost didn’t make it into Blood & Guts after a backstage ambush from the Don Callis Family, but he showed he can #ManUp and even win at less than 100%! But will Briscoe need to fight like Hell all over again? Or will Dunkzilla make him easy pickings for The Protostar?
Well, Briscoe doesn’t even wait for Davis to get in the ring, he intercepts Davis at the ramp! The fans fire up as the brawl is on! Moxley is still on commentary and he likes this already. Davis ROCKS Briscoe, CHOPS Briscoe, then whips Briscoe into railing! Briscoe writhes, but Davis whips him into more railing!

Davis storms up to dig his boot in, the ref counts and Davis stops at 4. Davis mocks Briscoe, then drags him up. Davis suplexes to THROW Briscoe away! Briscoe flounders to the far corner but Davis storms up again. Briscoe CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Bur Davis scoops to SLAM again! Davis paces, then he stomps Briscoe. Davis stalks Briscoe to the ropes, CHOKES him, then stops as the ref counts. Davis TOSSES Briscoe out and soaks up heat.
Briscoe sputters against commentary, staggers towards railing, then collapses while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Davis has Briscoe in a COBRA TWIST! The fans rally as Briscoe fights free, but Davis is too hefty to hip toss! Davis then LARIATS Briscoe down! Davis says it’s done now! The fans boo but Davis drags Briscoe around. Davis wrenches Briscoe to CHOP him down! Davis stands Briscoe up, just to CHOP him back down! And then again! But Briscoe stays standing this time! Davis CHOPS again, but Briscoe fires up! The fans fire up, Davis CHOPS again, but Briscoe is just feeing off it! Briscoe then CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! The CHOPS keep going, the fans “WOO~,” and things speed up!

Briscoe is at the ropes, Davis stands at center, and Davis CHOPS! Briscoe CHOPS! And repeat! The CHOPS go back and forth! Briscoe fires as flurry of forearms, then more CHOPS! Briscoe runs, but Davis CLOBBERS him at the ropes! Davis runs, but Briscoe returns the favor! Then Briscoe feints Davis, waistlocks, but Davis fights free. Davis waistlocks, but Briscoe breaks free to PELE! Briscoe then reels Davis in, hooks a leg, but Davis suplexes! Briscoe makes it a cradle, TWO!
Briscoe ducks the enzigiri, BOOTS Davis, then hits the FISHERMAN BUSTER! The fans fire up and Briscoe goes to the corner! Briscoe climbs while Davis is down, FROGGY-BOW onto knees! Davis turns things around, then runs to LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives and the fans fire up! Davis roars, and he reels Briscoe in for a STUFF PILEDRIVER! Briscoe flounders out of the ring! The fans rally as Briscoe ends up taking a seat. Davis runs up, ELBOW against the barriers! The fans boo but Davis puts Briscoe back in. Davis then chucks the chair into the ring, brings another one in, but Briscoe BOOTS Davis down!
Briscoe hurries to set up the one chair, and he uses it to FLY! Down goes Davis! The fans fire up and Briscoe high-fives the front row! Briscoe puts Davis in, then climbs up, FROGGY- NO, Briscoe rolls through as Davis moves. Briscoe comes back, btu Davis pops him up to CROTCH him on the ropes! Davis then climbs up to have Briscoe, but Briscoe slips free! Briscoe trips Davis and Davis lands on his down under! Briscoe goes back up again, for the FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
Third time is the charm, and now Chicken is red hot going towards Full Gear! But will Briscoe be able to take the TNT Championship, no matter who he’s facing? Or will The Don Callis Family be the winners in the end?
Team Sky Flight speaks.
Christopher Daniels focuses himself before telling Scorpio Sky, “Ever since you decided to start this team of Sky Flight, we have led these guys to some great victories. We are on a roll in the world of professional wrestling, but I think it’s time for you to become a little bit selfish, get some glory for yourself, and regain that gold.” Scorpio says, “It’s been 1228 days since I lost the TNT Title. And not one of ’em has gone by where I haven’t thought about getting it back. The last few years have not been easy for me, but none of it compares to what stands in front of me tonight.
“Kyle Fletcher, you are every bit as good as you think you are. But I’ve got the experience to know that what sticks with you in this business aren’t the victories, it’s the night that should’ve been victories but weren’t. Defeat comes for us all, Kyle. And tonight, yours comes from The Sky.” Scorpio snaps his fingers and we go to break. Will The Closer strike out the Protostar and completely change Full Gear?
Josh Alexander is beating up Michael Nakazawa?!
The Walking Weapon is sending a message to Kenny Omega through the last friend standing! He asks if this all sounds familiar! Kenny’s best friends and loved ones kicking and screaming! Just like Kota Ibushi! This is fun for Alexander! HE is an instrument of destruction for the Don Callis Family! So what do you think he’ll do for a million dollars at Full Gear? If Kenny wants to be at Boston for the AEW super show, TOO LATE! Alexander CLUBS Nakazawa’s leg! But will the Callis Family pay dearly for everything they’ve done to Kenny’s friends?
MXM TV is here!
And after they POSE together in the ring, Mansoor has the mic to say, “MXM TV kindly requests you slack-jawed, odious troglodytes to SHUT UP! This is the most exciting thing to ever happen to your Podunk town. Because this is the MXM TV Casting Call! Any combination of MXM TV VS any combination of anyone in the back! And the only thing that’s gonna be eerie is how ugly they’re gonna be after we rearrange their face!” The fans boo but Mansoor says time to find out who they’re beating tonight! Arkady Aura says it is a singles match, and she introduces… Tay Melo! Will the Blackbelt Brazilian Beauty beat some humility into Mrs. TV?
Taya Valkyrie w/ MXM TV VS Tay Melo!
The bell rings, Taya mocks the hip shaking, but then Tay BOOTS Taya down! The fans fire up as Tay fires off forearms on Taya in the corner, but Taya shoves her away. Taya ROCKS Tay, but Tay CHOPS in return! Tay whips corner to corner, but Taya dodges! Tay ELBOWS Taya, Taya ROCKS Tay! Taya blocks boots, puts Tay in the ropes, ROUNDHOUSE and SLIDING GERMAN! MXM TV cheers on their leading lady, Moxley says Taya has aura, and Taya drags Tay out. Taya & Johnny kiss, then Taya whips. But Tay reverses to send Taya into steps! Tay dares the boys to try something, they say this should go back in the ring!
Tay goes in, to then climb up! The fans fire up as Tay SUPER CANNONBALLS! Down go Johnny and Mansoor! Mason saved Taya, but then Tay BOOTS him! And KNEES Taya! Tay puts Taya in the ring, storms up on her, and Gory Especial for the TAY K O!! Cover, Tay wins!
Winner: Tay Melo, by pinfall
MXM TV is reeling, but Tay promises she and Anna Jay will be tag team champions. But MARINA SHAFIR ATTACKS! The fans boo but The Problem THROWS Tay down, then wraps her up in MOTHER’S MILK!! Tay flails, but TONI STORM rushes out here! She BLASTS Taya just because, then she SHOTGUNS Marina! Toni reels Marina in, STORM ZERO!! The fans are all fired up as Toni gets just a taste of revenge! Moxley says he didn’t see that coming. But will anyone stop Toni & Mina from having their fill?
AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Scorpio Sky w/ Christopher Daniels!
As it stands, Fletcher and Briscoe will compete for this title at Full Gear, with the added stipulation that Briscoe losing means he’d join the Don Callis Family. Can The Closer not only take the title but throw a wrench into those plans? Or will the Aussie Arrow stay on target from here to New Jersey?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the greatest Face of TNT ever!
The bell rings and Scorpio offers a handshake. The fans cheer for it, but Kyle kicks it away. The fans boo that but Scorpio shakes it off. They tie up, go around, and Kyle puts Scorpio in the corner. The ref counts, Kyle backs off, and the two go again. They knuckle lock, have a Test of Strength, but Scorpio wrenches to a wristlock. Scorpio YANKS the arm, Kyle rolls and wrenches to ELBOW BREAKER! The fans rally as Scorpio endures the wristlock. Scorpio rolls, Kyle wrangles him, and he slaps Scorpio’s arm to mock him and the fans. Scorpio fights up, he trips Kyle, but Kyle has the ROPEBREAK! Scorpio lets off, and he waits on Kyle.
Kyle and Scorpio reset, circle again, and they feel things out. They knuckle lock, the fans rally, and the two go shoulder to shoulder in another Test of Strength. Kyle powers Scorpio back, Scorpio turns things around, and now Scorpio crowds Kyle. The ref counts, Scorpio backs off, and Kyle bails out. The fans boo but Kyle tells Daniels to watch himself. But then Scorpio tries on Kyle’s coat! The fans cheer but Kyle is mad. Kyle storms in, ties up with Scorpio, and Scorpio wrenches to YANK, YANK, and YANK the arm. Fletcher whips free, Scorpio reverses to trip Kyle! Scorpio then floats to an armlock!
Kyle fights up, puts Scorpio in the corner, but the ref counts. Kyle whips, Scorpio goes up and over, but the leg buckles! That’s been the prevailing injury for Scorpio in his AEW career, but wait! It’s a trick! He rolls Kyle up! TWO!! Scorpio CHOPS Kyle, smirks, but Kyle fires a forearm! They go forearm for forearm, Kyle fires a flurry, and the fans are torn. Kyle runs, but Scorpio JUMPING ELBOWS! Kyle flounders out of the ring, Moxley says Kyle learned a bit of gamesmanship here. Scorpio goes out after Kyle to ROCK him and CHOP him! Kyle ducks a shot to APRON BACK SUPLEX! Scorpio writhes, Daniels coaches him, but Kyle BOOTS Daniels!
The fans boo as Kyle takes down the Fallen Angel for no good reason. Kyle flexes, then tells Daniels to stay out of his business! Kyle storms up on Scorpio, but Scorpio fires off forearms and haymakers! Scorpio whips and Kyle hits steel steps hard! The fans rally while Scorpio checks Daniels, and Collision goes picture in picture.
A ringside medic checks Daniels while Daniels tells Scorpio to focus on Kyle. Scorpio stalks Kyle around the way, they go into the ring, and Scorpio storms up, only for Kyle to ELBOW him down! Kyle rains down fists and elbows, only stopping to shout and yell. Kyle seethes before going back to Scorpio for a stomp. Scorpio goes to the corner, Kyle runs up and he BOOTS Scorpio down! Kyle JUMP STOMPS again and again but the ref counts. Kyle backs off at 4 while Scorpio sputters. Kyle storms up on Scorpio again, brings him up and around, then whips him to the corner. Kyle runs in for a forearm SMASH!
Kyle reels Scorpio in for a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Scorpio toughs it out but Kyle stays focused. Scorpio goes to ropes, Kyle scoops him and SLAMS him! Kyle paces around Scorpio, daring him to get up. Scorpio rises, Kyle stomps him down, and then Kyle slaps Scorpio around. Kyle scoops and SLAMS again, then clamps on a chinlock. Scorpio endures as Kyle leans on the hold, and Collision returns to single picture. The fans rally, Scorpio fights around, and Scorpio rises to his feet. Kyle KNEES Scorpio low! Then he AX HANDLES Scorpio down! Kyle taunts Scorpio while he BOOTS, and SUPERKICKS!
Scorpio eggs Kyle on!? Kyle fires forearm after forearm on Scorpio, but Scorpio leans into the shots! Scorpio fires in return, and he fires a flurry! Scorpio CLAWS eyes, then rains down fists in the corner! He goes PAST TEN to get about TWENTY! The fans fire up for that, but Kyle swings! Scorpio kicks low, then BITES Kyle on the forehead! The ref reprimands but Scorpio runs to LARIAT Kyle up and out! The fans fire up again and Scorpio PLANCHAS, only for Kyle to dodge! Kyle kicks low, reels Scorpio in, then lifts, only for Scorpio to fight free! Scorpio is on the apron and he mule kicks Kyle away! Then he FLYING RANAS Kyle to the floor!
The fans fire up and Moxley admits, that was incredible. Scorpio rises, rolls into the ring, and Kyle stands. Scorpio FLIES and wipes Kyle out! The fans fire up with Scorpio and he puts Kyle back in the ring. Scorpio duck s ‘n’ dodges, then SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives and Scorpio is frustrated but the fans continue to rally.

Scorpio survives but Kyle just GAMANGIRIS in the corner!
Kyle reels Scorpio in, suplexes, SHEER DROP BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Closer threw as much heat as he could, but Kyle still hit it out of the park. But then Davis joins in and they mug Scorpio! The fans boo, but here comes Top Flight! Darius & Dante chase Aussie Open off, and even Briscoe is here! Briscoe gets a mic and tells Kyle to do him a favor: Tell Callis that Briscoe will not be stopped. They ambushed him on Wednesday, but what happened? Briscoe’s team emerged victorious! Ask Davis there if he slowed Briscoe down at all. Briscoe whooped that big burly ass! And Kyle, the main thing to do is that the next time “Daddy Don” has Kyle shine that big bald head of his, shine the belt up, too.
Kyle should snuggle with the belt real tight tonight. Give it kisses and hugs, because in one week, Full Gear, that title comes home with Briscoe! The fans cheer that! Kyle tells Briscoe that his screws are loose. They had nothing to do with attacking Briscoe on Wednesday. And this was also defense number eight! One defense from breaking the all-time TNT Championship record! So the only thing that’ll happen one week from tonight is Kyle cementing his legacy as the GREATEST TNT CHAMPION OF ALL TIME! And when that happens, there is a spot with Briscoe’s name on it right next to them in the Don Callis Family.
“And then you will have no choice, like all of these people, but to say my full name.” Fletcher gets the last word tonight, but will Briscoe have the last laugh at Full Gear?
AEW prepares for a big money Tailgate Brawl!
The 5 Tool Player says, “$200,000? Tony, that’s not even nearly enough to get me to wanna tag with this guy.” Platinum Max says yeah, they can’t agree on anything except that they don’t wanna be a tag team. But TK is forcing them, so they’ll take his money, beat up his wrestlers, and hopefully never tag again. Just don’t make them do this. #RockHardRobinson says tonight is a sneak-peek at what goes down at Tailgate Brawl. They’ll win and take all the money to invest it into their 401K!

While The CEO will battle the Galaxy’s Greatest at Full Gear for THE AEW Women’s World Championship, they lead veritable armies into battle here in Greensboro! Team Mone won advantage on Collision, but will that help them survive the steel cage? Or can the Timeless Love Bombs, the Babes of Wrath and the Southampton Slugger help Kris derail the money train?
The cage is locked into place, and Skye Blue starts against Willow Nightingale. Skye has a kendo stick wrapped in barbed wire while Willow has a trash can lid with a smiley face on it!

Hangman sits up to fire body shots, but Hobbs laughs at Hangman. Hobbs KNEES low, then scoops to BACKBREAKER! Hangman writhes, Hobbs drags him up, and Hobbs CLUBS Hangman to the ring.

Hobbs pushes Hangman onto the desk, then climbs up!
The fans rally, the desk buckles and Hobbs has to steady himself, but he reels Hangman in! The fans freak out already, but Hangman BACKDROPS Hobbs!! Hobbs practically bounces off his own tailbone!

At Full Gear, you leave Will Hobbs at the hospital. At Full Gear, Samoa Joe VS The Hangman IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH!! The fans fire up as now things have only just escalated! Joe is furious, but will he have no choice but to face the consequences of his own reckless actions? Or can he survive and take this title back after all?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to the show, and says tonight means so much, especially to him personally. The Greensboro First Horizon Coliseum is perhaps the greatest pro-wrestling venue in the entire world, and he thanks all the fans for being here over the years. So many great events he has witnessed for many man years, this would not be complete without one of the men who made this such a great venue, and who made wrestling on TBS so great. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome out Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat! The fans cheer as the living legend is here! Steamboat high-fives fans, then goes to the ring to join Schiavone.
Schiavone says in April of 1978, he was here as a fan when Steamboat and Paul Jones become World Tag Team Champions. Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes were even tag team champions in 1991 right here on TBS. This, ladies and gentlemen, is quite the honor. Steamboat says big shoutout to TBS, responsible for airing all this so everyone can have their moment. Shoutout to that board over there: Mount Rushmore of Greensboro – Flair, Steamboat, Dusty and Sting! The fans cheer that! And Steamboat knows we all know what he’d have to say his number one nemesis, Ric Flair. The fans “WOO~!” for The Nature Boy.
Well, Steamboat and Flair faced off in what was Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in the Carolinas. Steamboat was just 16 months into this business, and Flair went to Jim Crockett talking about him. Flair said he liked what he saw and wanted to do something with Steamboat. Well- Wait, FTR is interrupting?! The fans boo as Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway mockingly applaud. Steamboat says he knows those guys. Dax & Cash step into the ring, shakes Steamboat’s hand, and Steamboat says hold on, a quick mention. A few years back, they worked together, and Steamboat saw a bit back then what’s come to fruition today.
Steamboat sees them climbing the ladder, making it up. Stoke says he can’t believe he is standing in the ring with a legend! Now, Ricky, you know FTR, the greatest tag team alive today. The fans boo, Stoke says he’s just trying to introduce himself! Stoke gives his introductions, #BigStoke, and no he is not Denzel Washington. But Ricky, you are synonymous with pro-wrestling. The fans tell Stoke to STFU and Steamboat kinda teases Stoke on his height. Stoke says Steamboat has a lot of history in this building. But ironically, next Saturday, November 22nd, live on PPV, Newark, New Jersey, FTR makes history by becoming THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions!
Stoke says it’d be an honor to have his favorite pro-wrestler front row and there live. Does Steamboat know Macho Man’s number? Haven’t seen Savage on TikTok. The fans boo that offensive joke and Cash takes the mic. Cash asks Ricky to calm down, Stoke can be “feisty” sometimes. But Ricky knows the respect FTR holds for him. In fact, for those who don’t know, it was back in 2022 that FTR was handpicked by Ricky to be in his last ever match! Yes, handpicked by The Dragon himself! Because not only does Ricky know they’re living legends, but modern day miracle workers! If anybody is gonna make Ricky look like even a shell of his former self, it’s FTR!
The fans boo more as the backhanded compliments continue. Dax takes a mic to say hold on now, hold on. Ricky, Dax has learned so much from you. Not sure if it’s common knowledge, but 13 years ago, Ricky was Dax’s trainer. He took Dax under his wing, it was such a blessing. Dax learned so much. He learned… Uh, Ricky taught him… Hmm, hold on. Damn, now that Dax thinks about it, Ricky never said one intelligent thing in his entire life. Oh, oh, wait! There is one thing! Ricky says yeah, one thing he didn’t teach Dax is that his attitude’s gone in the toilet! The fans cheer that! Dax says hey, he’s talking.
And the one thing Ricky did teach Dax is perhaps the biggest piece of advice Dax ever got: “Kid, it doesn’t matter how much you make, make sure you save your money.” And in 2025, that has never been more evidence. If Ricky had taken his own advance, he wouldn’t need to be here tonight! The fans boo, but Dax continues by saying, “Who would’ve thought at 2012, we’d be standing in the ring on TBS live? And when you were teaching me, who would’ve thought that I would’ve been a bigger legend than you ever were?” The fans boo more, Ricky tries not to get mad, but then he gets in Dax’s face!
The fans cheer but Dax dares Ricky to do something, old man! Ricky shoves Dax! Stoke says watch it, Ricky! Ricky then says time out, time out. Dax backs off, Cash tells Ricky to leave FTR’s ring. Greensboro cheers Ricky on, Dax tells Ricky to leave, but Ricky says hold on. Ricky grabs the mic again to say, “Going back a few years, I’d tell both of you to kiss my ass.” The fans cheer that! “But… Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor. Sometimes, when you realize that I’m gonna be 73… I’m not asking or begging for any kind of sorrow or forgiveness, but I’m just gonna be the smarter man today.”
Ricky does step aside, Dax sarcastically says to give it up for The Dragon, and then FTR mugs Ricky anyway! The fans boo and they reel Ricky in! But then Brodido is here! The fans cheer as Brody King & Bandido fire hands with FTR! Bandido has Cash, Brody has Dax, and Brody RIPS Dax’s shirt off to CHOP! Then Brody CHOPS Cash! Bandido SUPERKICKS Cash, Brody ROCKS Cash, and Cash ends up on the ropes! Bandido deals the cards, BLACKJACK 21 for Cash! Brody adds a LARIAT to send Cash up and out! Dax staggers to his feet, Ricky DECKS him! And DECKS him! And SHOTEIS! Ricky’s still got the hands!
Brody scoops Dax, but Stokely YANKS Dax to safety! The fans boo but Brody & Bandido DROPKICK FTR back down! FTR is in retreat while Brodido stands tall with Ricky! Will FTR regret picking on another legend? Or will they find a way to take those tag titles for a third time?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
With Full Gear on Saturday, November 22nd, AEW in Boston will be a THREE HOUR SUPERSHOW! Two hours of Dynamite, one hour of Collision, but always All Elite Wrestling!

Men’s Blood & Guts Match: The Death Riders VS Darby Allin, Roderick Strong & The Conglomeration!
The war Jon Moxley has waged on the heart and soul of AEW has included Anarchy in the Arena, Texas Death, and even an I Quit match. But now, The Maniac leads Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC & Daniel Garcia into battle against The Relentless One, The Savior of the Backbreaker, The Sussex County Chicken, Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist! Will there be any survivors inside this steel? Or will there only be Blood and Guts?
Starting for the extended Conglomeration is none other than Darby himself. As for The Death Riders, they send The Decoder. The fans are already telling Yuta off as he steps into the cage. The bell rings and the five minute round begins. Darby storms his way to the second ring to meet Yuta, but Yuta goes right back outside? The fans boo but Darby just pursues, and he MISSILE DROPKICKS from the apron! The fans fire up as Yuta lands hard! Darby drags Yuta up and whips him into the side of the cage! Then into railing! And cage! And railing! And then more railing! The fans fire up as Darby uses the full sixty feet ringside as space!
Darby runs in at Yuta, but Yuta sends him hard into railing! The fans boo but Yuta drags Darby up and THROWS him into the steel! The fans tell Yuta off again and again, but Yuta THROWS Darby into the steel again! Yuta mockingly tells Darby they gotta get in the cage. Yuta opens the door, steps inside, and waits on Darby. Darby crawls up the steps, but Yuta BOOTS the door into Darby! Yuta mocks Darby by saying it’s a rough night already and they’re just getting started! Yuta goes out to fetch Darby, then he claims Darby’s the one who keeps running. They’re finally in the ring, and Yuta CHOPS Darby against the ropes!
Yuta taunts Darby, taunts the fans, and he CHOPS Darby! Yuta whips, Darby rolls and runs back up, but Yuta sends him away again. Darby goes up the ropes, up the cage, and COFFIN SPLASHES Yuta down! The fans fire up while Yuta is down! Darby snarls as he stalks Yuta to the second ring. Yuta sees Darby’s board, but Darby jumps over and hops on, CODE RED! Darby then grabs his skateboard, and tada! Tacks are on the underside! Darby DIGS them into Yuta’s forehead! The fans freak out, but Darby stops when he feels satisfied. The fans taunt Yuta with, “You Deserve It!” Yuta flails, he’s already bloodied!
Darby drags Yuta up, but Yuta LOW BLOWS! The fans boo but Yuta brings Darby around, wrench and PAIN THRILLER! Darby writhes, Yuta wipes blood from his forehead, and the countdown is already here. The Conglomeration has advantage, so they send Orange Cassidy! The fans cheer as Cassidy strolls his way down the ramp, backpack in hand. Cassidy puts the backpack in the ring, puts his jacket and shirt aside, then puts on the elbow pad. The fans cheer for “Freshly Squeezed!” as he rolls into the ring. Yuta sputters, and Cassidy BREAKS his sunglasses as a sign that he is deadly serious!
Yuta takes a swing, but Cassidy dodges, and he JABS at Yuta’s head with the sunglasses!! The fans go nuts, Yuta shoves Cassidy away, but Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl and DDT! Cassidy kips up, and Darby joins in. Cassidy puts on what’s left of his glasses while Darby BACK BODY BLOCKS Yuta in the corner! And BACK BODY BLOCKS again! Cassidy takes chains out of the backpack! Darby BACK BODY BLOCKS Yuta again while Cassidy wraps his fist, and then Darby feeds Yuta to the CHAIN BODY BLOW! Yuta falls, Darby hurries to get his board, and Cassidy whips Yuta again, CHAIN BODY BLOW!
Darby goes up with his board, OLLIE ATTACK on Yuta’s back!! The fans fire up while Yuta writhes, but the countdown is back! The Death Riders send Daniel Garcia! Red Death hustles his way out from the back while Cassidy CHOKES Yuta with the chain! Darby is ready, then he clinches with Garcia. They fire fast hands in one ring while Cassidy keeps after Yuta. Garcia has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK and fans chant, “DO THE DANCE!” Cassidy swings on Garcia, but ends up in a SLEEPER! Darby and Cassidy fight these holds, but Yuta joins in to mug The Conglomeration! The fans boo but Garcia & Yuta soak up that heat.
Garcia flexes while Yuta gets the other chain from Cassidy’s backpack. Yuta & Garcia mug Cassidy, then double whip using the chain, for a CHAIN LARIAT! Then they DROPKICK Darby! The fans boo while The Death Riders are in control, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Yuta & Garcia soak up more heat, then Garcia CHOKES Cassidy. Yuta stomps away on Darby, then he and Garcia mug Darby together. They throw Darby aside, then have the chain. They double whip, but Darby springboards! COFFIN SPLASH hits the chain to make Yuta and Garcia run into each other! Cassidy rises, he hobbles his way over, and he “unleashes” kicks on Garcia & Yuta!

Darby is after Garcia, Yuta suplexes Cassidy, but into STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE!
Darby ROCKS Garcia, ROCKS him again, and Cassidy goes up a corner. Garcia turns things around on Darby, but Cassidy LAZY ELBOW DROPS, onto knees! Yuta turns things around on Cassidy, Garcia stomps away on Darby, and Garcia digs his heel in. Yuta SMACKS Cassidy off buckles, then Garcia joins in. They mug Cassidy with “devastating” kicks, mocking Cassidy more than anything. Then they DROPKCIK Cassidy down! Yuta SENTONS and Cassidy writhes. Garcia uses a chain and he CHOKES Darby with it! Yuta turns Cassidy over for a BOSTON CRAB! Garcia stomps away on Cassidy, but Darby CHOKES Garcia in return!
Yuta hurries to go after Darby but that lets Cassidy go after him! Blood & Guts returns to single picture as the brawls continue. Cassidy puts Yuta in a corner, then he and Darby set Yuta and Garcia up together, and wrap them up in the chain! The countdown is back as Cassidy & Darby mug Yuta & Garcia at the same time! And then The Conglomeration sends Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer, but where is he? Everyone looks to the ramp, but did something happen to Briscoe? Yuta LOW BLOWS Cassidy, Garcia LOW BLOWS Darby, and Garcia mockingly asks where Briscoe went. Commentary cues Renee Paquette backstage.
Renee says she’s trying to figure out what’s going on, but something happened in the locker room! Someone attacked Briscoe and those ribs are not looking good. Who’s going next then? Roddy says he’ll go. Kyle says see you out there. The Savior of the Backbreaker is stepping up for the team, but is The Conglomeration still going to be a man down? Garcia & Yuta mock the situation, but Roddy rushes in! Roddy catches Yuta for a HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER! And another HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER! Garcia steps through ropes but Roddy KICKS the ropes to jam Garcia up! Then Roddy CHOPS Garcia, CHOPS him again, and DRAPING BACKBREAKERS!

Yuta THROWS Cassidy into steel! Roddy is busted open from hitting chair and steel cage! Claudio SMACKS Roddy off the steel, Yuta SMACKS Cassidy with the chair, and Garcia has Darby in a ROMERO SPECIAL! The fans boo, but then Garcia BOOTS Darby into an UPPERCUT! Darby clutches his face, but the countdown is back! The Conglomeration sends Kyle O’Reilly! Garcia & Claudio mug Darby, but Kyle TACKLES Yuta!
Kyle rains down palm strikes on Yuta, but Garcia clamps on a SLEEPER! Kyle hits a SAIDO! Kyle and Claudio meet, Claudio UPPERCUTS, but Kyle KNEES him low! Kyle TORNADO DDTS, and then has the GUILLOTINE! Claudio powers up, lifts Kyle, and suplexes free! But Kyle slips free to CHOP BLOCK a leg! Yuta rains down fists on Cassidy, but Roddy JUMP KNEES Claudio! Feed to Kyle’s KNEE! AX ‘N’ DOUBLE SMASH! The fans fire up but now Yuta sends Cassidy at Garcia, and Garcia JAMS Cassidy with the chair! Roddy storms up but Garcia JAMS him up! Kyle has Claudio’s legs in the rope, but Yuta suplexes Cassidy!
Garcia keeps Roddy down, Claudio kicks free, and Darby goes after Yuta. The haymakers fly, Roddy scoops and SLAMS Garcia. Kyle KICKS Claudio’s leg, but Claudio UPPERCUTS! Garcia RAMS Roddy ow, then he and Yuta mug Roddy. Kyle KICKS away on Claudio’s leg, but Claudio ROCKS him back! Garcia puts Cassidy in a corner to stomp away, and Yuta suplexes Roddy, and SLAMS Roddy onto a chair! Cassidy goes up and over in the corner and crashes into steel! Cassidy is stuck in the gap between ring and cage! Garcia mockingly applauds, Claudio has Kyle in a gut wrench BEARHUG! Yuta PILEDRIVERS Darby, Claudio THROWS Kyle!
The fans boo but the Death Riders soak up the heat while Blood & Guts goes picture in picture.
Claudio paces around Kyle while Garcia and Yuta each stomp Roddy and Cassidy. Claudio wraps his arm in a chain while Yuta ROCKS Cassidy. Kyle KICKS and ROCKS and fires hands on Claudio! Cassidy bumps Yuta off buckles, Claudio CHAIN UPPERCUTS Kyle! Cassidy CROSSBODIES, but Yuta rolls through! Yuta drags Cassidy up for a MICHINOKU DRIVER! Garcia sits Cassidy up, he and Yuta DOUBLE HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOW! Garcia stomps Darby at the neutral zone, Claudio puts Roddy in a corner, and Garcia goes after Kyle. Claudio drags Darby up while Garcia smacks Kyle off buckles.
Claudio again military presses Darby, to THROW him into the steel! Yuta DDTS Cassidy! The Death Riders stand tall again, even while being down 4v3! Yuta ROPE GUILLOTINES Cassidy! Claudio throws Kyle around, but Kyle gets a leg! DRAGON SCREW! Claudio writhes but Yuta has Cassidy’s leg. Kyle kicks Claudio around while Cassidy resists the turnover. Garcia STOMPS Kyle down, and Blood & Guts returns to single picture. Cassidy PENALTY KICKS Yuta, but Claudio UPPERCUTS Cassidy down! Garcia CHOKES Kyle in a corner, Claudio military presses Cassidy and THROWS him into the steel!
The countdown is back, and now The Death Riders send Moxley! The Maniac himself steps up, perhaps confident this match is in hand given Briscoe is down and out. And of course he has a fork! He JABS away on Kyle’s forehead!! The fans freak out, but then Roddy runs up! Moxley fires body shots and then SCRAPES the fork on Roddy’s face! Garcia helps mug Roddy, but Darby is after Moxley! Darby ROCKS Moxley, springboards, but into a FORK ATTACK! Darby writhes getting forked in the back! Moxley then CLAWS the fork into Darby’s back! He hands Garcia the fork so Garcia can CLAW Darby’s back!
Garcia & Moxley work together to THROW Darby into the steel! Darby tumbles down, and ends up in the gap between ring and cage!! Kyle is bleeding profusely from the fork attack! Moxley goes out to fetch a barbed wire bat and a bucket of random items! Wait, those are the leftovers from the Women’s Blood & Guts! The broken glass, the pool cue, and more! The countdown is back, The Conglomeration is supposed to send Briscoe, but we know what happened there. Now things stay 4v4 as Moxley DIGS a piece of the busted mirror into Kyle’s already bloody head! Then he takes a taste before he JAMS Kyle down low!
Renee has an update, and AEW Medical says Briscoe is NOT cleared for this match now. The attack that injured the ribs is from The Don Callis Family, clearly insurance for Kyle Fletcher’s chances at Full Gear. Moxley brings the bucket into the ring, Yuta DIGS the fork into Kyle while Claudio CHOKES Cassidy with the chain! Roddy runs up on Yuta, but Yuta puts him in the corner to DIG the fork into his forehead now! Moxley pours out broken glass and tacks from that bucket, and he drags Darby along. Garcia reels Darby in, ASSISTED PILEDRIVER onto the debris! Double-edged for Garcia, but Moxley DRAGS Darby onto the shards!!
The fans boo and tell Moxley he’s sick, but he continues to torture Darby while Blood & Guts goes picture in picture.
Darby kicks at Moxley and gets free. Kyle sputters behind his crimson mask, Yuta CHOKES Cassidy again, and Claudio props a table up in the corner. Darby crawls while Moxley taunts the fans and soaks up heat. Moxley throws hands on Roddy, but Roddy CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Moxley KNEES Roddy low, then grabs the barbed wire bat! Moxley winds up and CRACKS Roddy in the ribs! Then Moxley taunts a bloody Kyle. Kyle fires hands but Moxley eggs him on. Then he JAMS Kyle low and CRACKS him on the back! Then Claudio SMACKS Kyle with a chair! Kyle writhes while Moxley goes back to Roddy.
Garcia puts Kyle in a corner while Moxley parades Roddy around for the fans to see, and Dynamite goes to break.
Blood & Guts returns one more time, and while Claudio, Yuta & Garcia all mug Kyle, Darby is climbing up the cage! And he now monkey bars his way with the girders! The final countdown is here, but Darby ROOTFOP COFFIN DROPS onto everyone!! Naturally, last for The Death Riders is The Bastard, Pac! He is in no hurry, the advantage is 5v4 now. Roddy runs up but Pac RAMS him low! And slingshots up and over. The bell rings as Pac then SNAP GERMANS Roddy! Pac BOOTS Kyle, but Kyle fires back! Moxley has the ref lock things up, it’s already in the bag. Kyle is keeping up with kicks, but Pac dodges one to then BOOT Kyle to a corner!
Pac runs to UPPERCUT Kyle! Kyle sputters, but Cassidy goes up! CROSSBODY, but Pac catches hm! But Cassidy slips free! Pac bucks the O’Conner Roll, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Pac turns the tilt-o-whirl into a DDT! Wait, how did Yuta get the key? Pac GERMAN SUPLEXES Cassidy! The fans boo but Moxley sits Darby up so Yuta can BITE Darby’s forehead! There are tables in corners, Moxley soaks up heat, and the mugging continues. In a way, they’re just toying with The Conglomeration as Pac builds speed to LARIAT Darby inside-out! The fans boo, but wait! Briscoe is still making his way out here!?
The fans cheer as Briscoe is gonna #ManUp, and he’s bringing a chair, a toolbox, and some bolt cutters! Briscoe cuts right through that padlock! Yuta hurries over but Briscoe SLAMS the door shut on him! He then dodges a chairshot to CHUCK his chair at Garcia! Briscoe dodges Claudio, fires off on Pac, then dodges Claudio! Claudio’s UPPERCUT hits Pac! Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS Claudio, and Claudio falls onto the shards of glass! Moxley JAMS Briscoe with the bat! And TOSSES him to the apron! But Briscoe is right back up, right back out, and he gets the toolbox! Briscoe TOSSES the box in, then he fires haymakers on Yuta!
Briscoe ROCKS Yuta, The Conglomeration makes a comeback, and Briscoe gives Yuta a snap suplex to the floor! The fans fire up as Cassidy opens the toolbox! Roddy fires hands on Moxley, Kyle brawls with Garcia, and Cassidy brings out a WRENCH! He CLOBBERS Pac with it in the corner! Roddy uses a chain to rain down FULL METAL FISTS on Moxley in the corner! The fans count as Roddy goes to TEN! Roddy then stomps Moxley, but Garcia CHOKES Kyle again. Cassidy has the wrench for Moxley! ONE!! The fans are thunderous! Roddy rains down fists on Claudio! Cassidy BODY BLOWS Moxley, but Moxley CHOPS Cassidy!
Moxley hauls Cassidy up top, Kyle GRINDS the barbed wire bat into Garcia! Briscoe CHUCKS another chair at Yuta! Roddy CHOKES Claudio, Garcia KNEES and CLUBS Kyle, and Cassidy resists Moxley’s superplex! Briscoe brings a table around the way but he has to stomp Yuta back down first. Briscoe sets the table up outside the cage?! Briscoe looks up, and everyone dreads what he has planned! Briscoe SMACKS Yuta off the table, but Garcia CHOKES Briscoe with a crossbar cover! Briscoe fights free, reels Garcia in, and suplexes him to the floor! Now Garcia is the one Briscoe puts on the table, and the fans still freak out!
Briscoe climbs up the cage, and he reaches the very top! The fans are fired up but also really worried! Briscoe looks down, but Garcia flops off the table! Garcia wags his finger, but then Kyle grabs that hand for an ARMBAR!! The fans are thunderous, and wait, YUTA has gone up after Briscoe?! Garcia fights off the submission while Yuta and Briscoe brawl on the top of the cage! The fans cheer Briscoe, boo Yuta, and Briscoe fires a flurry! The fans are loving it as Briscoe DECKS Yuta! Briscoe then reveals he has a rope and a hook!? Briscoe sends that down to Kyle, and Kyle hooks it to a chair! Briscoe is fishing for chairs!
Briscoe reels in a big haul and the fans love it! Uh oh, they’re kinda stuck. Briscoe wrangles the chairs and the fans cheer again! But Yuta manages to grab one for his own! The others are brawling in the ring, Briscoe has a chair of his own, and the fans fire up! The chairs CLASH and CLASH like swords, and Yuta is disarmed! Briscoe JAMS Yuta up, then SMACKS him on the back! The fans fire up as Briscoe then gathers the other chairs to make a pile! Briscoe underhooks Yuta, but Yuta drops down to fight the lift! And then LOW BLOW!! The fans boo as Briscoe staggers around! The fans freak out as Briscoe is dangerously close to the edge!
Yuta rises to SMACK Briscoe in the head!! The fans lose their minds while Blood & Guts once again goes picture in picture!
Moxley and the other Death Riders still have control inside the cage, but The Conglomeration is still fighting. Garcia TWISTS Kyle’s ear using the wrench! Yuta has to be careful up top as he walks over to Briscoe. He HAMMERS away on Briscoe while The Death Riders mug Cassidy and Darby. Again, The Death Riders seem to be more toying and torturing The Conglomeration rather than going for a win. Kyle KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away on Garcia & Moxley, where is he getting this energy?! But then Moxley trips Kyle, drags him around, and HIP DROPS the leg! Then Garcia CHOKES Kyle with the chain!
Blood & Guts is once again single picture as Yuta parades around a bloodied Briscoe. Yuta ROCKS Briscoe, ROCKS him again, and then reels him in! Yuta underhooks the arms and the fans boo. But Briscoe wrenches out to LOW BLOW Yuta! And then he reels Yuta in! JAY DRILLER on the chairs and cage roof!! The fans are thunderous, and again Conglomeration turns things around! Darby CHOKES Claudio using a hammer! Moxley storms over to KICK Darby, and he has the fork! Darby fights it off, Roddy CLUBS Moxley, and Briscoe returns to the ground. But Pac then BOOTS him down!
Pac drags Briscoe around to THROW into railing! But then Darby CLOBBERS Pac! Darby drags Pac around and THROWS him into railing! The fans fire up, but GABE KIDD is here?! The Mad Man CLOBBERS Darby! The fans boo as this War Dog is here and he drags Darby away! Gabe CLUBS Darby, Garcia has Cassidy in a SLEEPER, but Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Garcia is furious, and he whips Cassidy, but Cassidy SHOTGUNS him! Claudio traps Cassidy’s arms, and Moxley STAPLES the hands in the pants!! Claudio throws Cassidy down so Moxley can add more staples! The fans tell Moxley is sick, but wait, what’re Gabe and Pac up to?
Gabe & Pac have set up tables near the entrance tunnel, and Pac is climbing up! Gabe CHOKES Darby using a belt, then he and Pac DRAG Darby up to the top with said belt! But Darby fights back! Darby BOOTS Gabe off the ladder, but Pac BOOTS Darby! The fans boo but now Gabe goes to fetch something more? Gabe returns, and he has LIGHTER FLUID!! Gabe drenches the tables, and even Moxley can’t believe what is about to happen! Gabe ignites the tables!! Pac drags Darby up to THROW him down through the burning tables!!! The staff hurries to extinguish Darby and the fans are losing their minds!
Gabe grins and The Death Riders are loving this! They continue to mug and pick on The Conglomeration, PARADIGM SHIFT onto Kyle! Then a BULLY CHOKE!! WITH A CHAIN!! Kyle endures, flails, and Roddy tries to make his way over. Garcia & Yuta taunt Roddy as he’s so far away, but Kyle FLIPS Moxley off! The fans love Kyle’s defiant spirit! Claudio says go after Roddy now! They’ll do like Team Mone did Toni & Mina! Garcia holds Roddy up while Claudio puts a chair around Kyle’s neck! But Cassidy kips up and stands in the way!! HE RIPS HIS HANDS FREE!! ORANGE PUNCH for Moxley!! STRONG KNEE for Claudio!! STRONG KNEE for Garcia!!
Briscoe is up!? He has Pac in a FISHERMAN BUSTER down through a table!! ORANGE PUNCH for Moxley again!! Roddy GOURD BUSTERS Garcia into a table! Moxley staggers around, ORANGE PUNCH THE THIRD!!! Roddy underhooks Yuta, TIGER DRIVER onto a table! The table didn’t break, so Roddy THROWS Yuta into it! The fans are thunderous as Cassidy reloads, for a- NO, Claudio catches Cassidy! Cassidy flails, Roddy runs up, but Claudio BOOTS Roddy! Claudio shoves Cassidy, POP-UP- ORANGE PUNCH!! Cassidy hits first! Roddy SPEARS Claudio through the table! ORANGE PUNCH THE FOURTH for Moxley!!!
Kyle has Moxley with an ANKLE LOCK!!! Moxley flails, freaks out, reaches out, but Kyle keeps him back! Claudio is back up, so Roddy & Cassidy DOUBLE SPEAR him through a table!!! Moxley is all alone!! Moxley flails, reels Kyle in, BULLY CHOKE!!! But Kyle slips through, and has the ARMBAR!!! Moxley flails, Kyle gets his leg, back to the ANKLE LOCK!!! KNEEBAR!!! MOXLEY TAPS!!! CONGLOMERATION WINS!!!
Winners: Darby Allin, Roderick Strong & The Conglomeration, by submission
Incredible! Blood was spilt, but the team with more guts wins out in the end! Is this the end of the war with the Death Riders? Will Darby be alright after quite literally crashing and burning?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Blood & Guts special for Dynamite, but AEW continues to really push the envelope. Skye Blue may have overdone her blading there but maybe not since it didn’t affect her part in the match. And with Blake Monroe referencing her time as Mariah May, it was nice to see Toni Storm doing a similar callback with the glass on the fist. Weaponizing all of Mone’s belts was really clever, and Stat taking Mone and herself out with the table spot was good stuff. Using Mina’s suffering against Toni was a very clever move, and the Heels winning perhaps indicates a Face team winning the tag titles. Willow & Harley VS Julia & Skye, Toni & Mina VS Megan & Marina, those are going to be great matches, can’t wait to see how they turn out.
The reason this show was 2.5 hours was so they could also do Hangman VS Hobbs, which was still a great match anyway. Hobbs falling off a ledge to fall through the “electrical equipment” was an awesome way to finish that match. Joe & Shibata attacking after should’ve been obvious, and good save from Hook & Eddie. Escalating Hangman VS Joe at Full Gear into a Steel Cage match is great stuff, but I get this feeling that Hook will choose that moment to turn on Hangman and rejoin The Opps, and I can’t even be sure why. Hangman VS Shibata for the big go-home episode next week will be great stuff, too.
Throwing in that Don Callis Family attack on Jurassic Express was also good stuff, it really adds a little more to the Full Gear build. But surely The Bucks accept their Callis Family membership next week, if only because of peer pressure. Turning on Callis Family before Full Gear would do away with the Million Dollar match, but The Bucks could always grow a conscience during the match and betray the Don Callis Family then. The FTR promo with Ricky Steamboat left a lot to be desired. Granted, Ric Flair apparently left early, his injured rotator cuff was too painful to do much with. So that means the whole segment was rewritten last minute, giving a valid excuse to why Steamboat wasn’t sure what to say and how. But Brodido of course made a save, great stuff for them.
The Men’s Blood & Guts was also wild stuff, but they really had a lot to live up to with just how innovative the women were in their match. I still like the idea of fishing chairs, and the story overlap where DCF mugs Briscoe to put some doubt into the outcome. Gabe showing up was a surprise, and I guess he was needed to pull off that burning table spot, but they still could’ve done that with the Death Riders they had on hand. Gabe says he’s NJPW for life but then why’s he over here in AEW? Is he going to do some Continental Classic matches and maybe be part of World’s End before WrestleKingdom in January?
As for the finish, Cassidy hulking out of his hands stapled to his pants was wild, and the comeback from The Conglomeration was great. Interesting how the teams with advantage won out in both cases. But even then, they can do some compelling stuff with The Death Riders after this. Perhaps Moxley’s leadership will be in question when he’s the one who gave up, again. And what of that tease where the Death Riders would fight Don Callis Family? Is that not the case with how Briscoe and Fletcher will be facing off at Full Gear? Will we get even more Conglomeration VS Callis Family shenanigans going into the holidays?
My Score: 9.1/10
