Backstage interview with MXM Collection.

Alicia Atout is with Mansoor & Mason, and says their match with The Acclaimed came with many promises. One was to end scissoring, and the other is to have a mystery guest at ringside. Mansoor says yes, things got ugly on Rampage. Speaking of ugly, Max, Anthony & Billy, are you excited for MXM’s special surprise? Their third man, that is. But he is anything but ugly. He is fabulous, and he will beautifully make sure MXM takes Acclaimed’s spot and ends scissoring forever. But first… how do they look… RICO!? Wait, what!? YES! Rico Constantino says they look so~ good to him. The OG wrestling model is All Elite, but will he help MXM bury scissoring?

Mercedes Mone & Kamille walk ‘n’ talk.

The CEO wants eyes up here, cameraman. “Tacomaaa~! Say hello to your Double Champion, The C E O. And we have arrived! Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

 

Tony Schiavone is on stage.

Schiavone reminds us that WrestleDream is the event dedicated to the life and memory of the late, great Antonio Inoki, founder of NJPW and wrestling legend in his own right. Tony Khan is here with Inoki’s grandsons to say that it is great to be here in the Tacoma Dome tonight! Thank you, everyone, for being here. Joining us are the grandsons of the late, great Inoki. It is great to have Hirota and Naota, as this show is inspired by their grandfather, wrestling’s greatest dreamer. In honor of their family, let us all join in on Inoki’s famous chant. Ready? Ichi!

Garcia changes targets from Perry to the Wolf of Wrestling! MJF has returned after being put on the shelf by Garcia!

MJF has them cut his music, but he has no mic in hand. MJF and Garcia are face to face in the ring, talking a lot of trash, but then Perry CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans boo and MJF steps back. The Scapegoat is a snake, and MJF grins because he’s a vulture! MJF takes off his coat, then his shirt, and he mocking asks if Garcia is okay, before raining down fists! The fans boo more, and now MJF wants a mic! MJF stands on Garcia’s neck as he says, “Danny, it’s been awhile since I saw you, buddy. As I recall, last time I saw you, I beat you without breaking a sweat. And then I went on to make several movies and several millions. Bu tone second.”

MJF rains down more fists! Then MJF says Garcia’s been up to big stuff since then, too. Apparently there was a bidding war? That was about as real as the Seattle Supersonics. The fans boo that but MJF says he’s talking, Seattle! Oh wait, this is Tacoma! WHO GIVES A S*IT!?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy and Jerry Lynn.

Renee is with Freshly Squeezed and the Board of Directors member, and says Jerry has something to say to Cassidy. Jerry thanks Cassidy for the time, and wants us to know that he has been doing this for 40 YEARS, yet has never seen anyone like Cassidy. Cassidy is unique, special, connects with the fans, and even connects with other wrestlers. Jerry even dressed as Cassidy for Halloween last year. But Jerry just wants to know that while Cassidy has been through some stuff, Cassidy stepped up. With all the chaos going on, if Cassidy really wanted to, if he really tried, he could be the man around here. Just food for thought.

Jerry leaves, but in steps Hook. Hook says he should listen to Jerry. Cassidy is the man. Hook and Cassidy fist bump, and Cassidy definitely has something to think about. Will Orange look to have gold once again?

 

Prince Nana is here!

The fans cheer as he’s already in the ring, mic in hand. He plugs Prince Nana Coffee, but then says he has to bring out our man for the update. He is the Forever AEW World Champion, the most dangerous man in AEW, and his boss, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans fire up as The Realest makes his entrance, gets a spotlight and pyro, and he goes to the ring. The “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” continues, and then Nana hands the mic to Swerve. The fans chant “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” and Swerve says, “Not gonna lie, man. It feels a little weird being out here without the AEW World Championship around my waist.

“But with that home welcoming, I’m kinda happy again. Thank you very much.” The fans cheer, and we get more “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says they’re saying what he needs for him. But to cut to the chase, his medical update. It is a little wonky, he still has tingling in his neck that shoots to his waist, legs, and fingers. It is like all the things he said about Bryan is coming back on him. Karma’s a mug, huh? But that all said… Swerve is medically cleared. The fans cheer that! Swerve wanted to come out here and address his hometown, his people, and tell us all about the past, the present, and what he plans for the future.

But then Montel Vontavious Porter interrupts. A future? What a great segue, Swerve! Because the future is what MVP and Shelton Benjamin are here to discuss. But maybe minion Nana didn’t pass word along, because Swerve hasn’t called, answered emails, answered DMs, so maybe Swerve must be in deep contemplation thinking about his decisions regarding his future. MVP & Shelton join Swerve & Nana in the ring. MVP says they have history They go way back! In fact, MVP believed in Swerve even before Swerve did. MVP told Swerve about the great things that lay ahead. MVP is the one who said on The Wrestlers that their future was in great hands!

The fans chant “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and MVP says yes, it IS Swerve’s House! It is! But see, right now, unfortunately for Swerve, his career is floundering. The fans boo, but MVP says hold on. His resume speaks for itself. One thing MVP is good at is taking former champions and helping them remember the things that what allowed them to be great. To ascend to the mountaintop and have the titles they should have. So now, let’s talk business. Swerve says first off, hello. Secondly, MVP did give Swerve a lot of great advice back in like 2017. Remember that match they had in Defy? Fans cheer that name drop!

And remember when Swerve won? Yes, MVP did! Swerve learned a whole lot that night that he still carries with him. And even further, Swerve saw MVP take a lot of great stars and put them to superstardom, above pro-wrestling! So inspiring! Just like Shelton Benjamin! The fans cheer as Swerve says Shelton’s a big inspiration to a lot of people! 12-year-old Swerve would be crying just standing here with Shelton! Shelton’s presence on TV meant so much to Swerve, because it paved the way for Black wrestlers in this ring, all because of Shelton. The fans cheer that!

But now… Swerve was watching the show. And Nana, the stuff MVP has been saying, it’s not wrong. Uh oh. The last couple months have not been good. Swerve can’t even remember what happened in the cage match from getting beat so bad. But since being with Nana, Swerve has lost the main event at All Out, has lost his childhood home, but most importantly, he lost the AEW World Championship. Swerve says that was all under Nana’s watch. On the other hand, Swerve wouldn’t have had all that if not for Nana. The fans cheer that! But then on the other hand again, Swerve and MVP go away back! The potential of what they could do in AEW… They could make some real history.

Swerve likes having power more than anyone. He is already the most dangerous man, so with MVP & Shelton, OH MY GAWD! Though, Nana, gotta say, there are a lot of things just kinda irk Swerve. Swerve is watching the percentages in his wages going up and up. Not sure what that’s about. Nana’s still selling weed to high schoolers in parking lots… So Hangman was right?! Swerve says yes, that’s still a thing. Nana is neurotic, sporadic, absent minded, but the biggest thing is… Nana is… family. And Swerve doesn’t turn on his back on family for anybody! The fans cheer as Swerve tells MVP to take his business cards and shove ’em!

The fans cheer, nana does his dance, and swerve says we’re in whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Shelton gets in Swerve’s face and says he misread the situation. See, they weren’t asking.

Matt has the “terrible music” stop, and he tells Private party that fine, yes, five years ago, Private Party beat them. We’ve seen the clips a million times, big deal. But five years later, and this is the biggest match of their entire careers, right? But after Private Party beat Bucks back then, what did they do? NOTHING! And so why do these dorks think they can win the titles now?

Moxley flounders onto the Spanish announce desk, and Bryan SMACKS him off it! The fans fire up as Bryan hops up to KICK! KICK! And KICK! “YES! YES! YES!” But Moxley CLAWS Bryan’s face! Moxley then reels Bryan in, PILEDRIVER on the desk!! Double-edged for Moxley but Bryan’s neck is a major concern. The ref checks Bryan, the fans chant “F U MOXLEY!” Moxley just smirks before he hops down. Moxley hijacks a headset to CHOKE Bryan with the cable!

The ref reprimands, Moxley stops, and the ref says win this in the ring! Moxley smirks and he drags Bryan up. Moxley disrespects Nigel McGuinness before he puts Bryan on the apron. Moxley CLUBS Bryan right on that taped up neck! Moxley CLAWS Bryan’s face, then CLUBS him again! Moxley storms in, argues with the ref, and that lets Marina fire knees on Bryan! The fans boo but Marina gets away with that. Moxley drags Bryan from ropes to cover, TWO! Moxley fires an ELBOW, KICKS Bryan in the back, then paces. Moxley ELBOWS, KICKS, and paces again. The fans boo but Moxley seethes as he watches Bryan writhe.

Moxley storms up on Bryan, drags him around, and has the wrists! The fans boo as Moxley uses the DRAGON STOMPS! Bryan sputters while Moxley paces around him. Moxley looms over Bryan while the fans rally up. Moxley stands Bryan up, puts him in a corner, and ROCKS Bryan! And CHOPS! Bryan staggers away but Moxley stalks him. The fans rally as Bryan goes to another corner, but Moxley ROCKS him, CHOPS him, and Bryan staggers around some more. Moxley storms after Bryan, ROCKS him, CHOPS him, then pie faces him. Bryan snarls to CHOP, CHOP and CHOP! But Moxley DECKS him! Cover, TWO!

Moxley sits Bryan up to ELBOW, KICK, and then DRAGON STOMP! Moxley digs his heel in between each stomp, and the fans boo. Bryan grits his teeth as he endures those shots, but Marina mocks the Yes Movement. Moxley covers, TWO! Moxley eggs Bryan on, tells him that this isn’t about Moxley or Bryan but something bigger. Moxley turns Bryan, for a NECKBREAKER! Moxley puts Bryan on the apron and he CLUBS him! And CLUBS him again, and again, and again! Moxley slides in, flips off the fans, and argues with the ref. Marina fires cheap shots again! The fans boo but Marina again gets away with that. No wonder she’s The Problem!

The ref is suspicious though given all the fans protesting, but Marina is innocent until caught in the act. Moxley has Bryan’s fingers, bends them, then SNAPS them! Moxley signals Marina, and she rips up floor mats?! They did this to Darby Allin at Grand Slam, and Marina exposes two or three stretches of concrete! Moxley says it doesn’t have to be this way, as he stands on Bryan’s head against the steps!! The fans boo, tell Moxley off, but he says they know nothing. Moxley brings Bryan around, reels him in, and says last rites, but Bryan fights the lift! BACKDROP onto bare concrete!! Moxley writhes, Marina says she didn’t have anything to do with this.

Moxley and Bryan rise while fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan goes up, but Moxley ROCKS him first! Moxley climbs up, CLAWS Bryan’s back, and then rips the tape away so he can BITE Bryan’s neck and shoulders! The ref reprimands but Moxley is an animal! The fans tell Moxley he’s sick, but Bryan slips under to trip Moxley up! Bryan puts Moxley in the Tree of Woe, to BITE Moxley’s forehead! The fans fire up, and Bryan KICKS away on Moxley! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan goes corner to corner to BASEMENT DROPKICK! Bryan sits Moxley back up, climbs up behind him, but Moxley fights with elbows.

Bryan sits down a moment, but he hooks his legs into the ropes! SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEX! Bryan sits up and the fans are thunderous! Bryan adjusts, “YES! YES! YES!” DIVING HEADBUTT FLOPS as Moxley moves! CURB STOMP!! Cover, TWO!! But Moxley gator rolls Bryan into the BULLY CHOKE!! Bryan endures, fights around, and the fans rally up! Moxley moves around and he KNEES Bryan in the head again and again! Moxley is back on the BULLY CHOKE! Moxley pushes up as hard as he can, but Bryan endures! The fans rally up, and Bryan rolls through to then reel Moxley in! PILEDRIVER!!

Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Moxley clutches his neck as he slowly falls back, and a standing count begins. Both men are down at 5 of 10, but they start to sit up. Moxley checks his neck, we’re at 7 of 10, and Moxley stands. Bryan goes to ropes, Moxley storms over, and the two stare down. The fans fire up as Bryan eggs Moxley on! The two circle, and Bryan says one for one! So Moxley fires a forearm! Bryan says okay, and he fires back! They go back and forth with forearm after forearm, but Moxley comes back as soon as Bryan hits him! The shots go faster and faster, “YES! NO! YES! NO!”

But then Bryan wobbles! Moxley has a sinister grin, and he sits Bryan up to KICK! Moxley runs, but Bryan blocks the boot! Bryan UPPERCUTS, UPPERCUTS and UPPERCUTS! Bryan whips, Moxley reverses, but Bryan ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans are thunderous again as Bryan rises again! Bryan storms up to KICK! KICK! KICK! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan winds up, to BUZZSAW! The fans are thunderous again as Moxley falls over! Bryan fires up more, and he goes to the corner for “YES! YES! YES!” Moxley rises, but Marina hooks Bryan! The ref caught Marina, but Moxley hits a CUTTER!!

The ref finally EJECTS Marina! The fans fire up while Marina throws a fit! The ref says try him, see what happens! Marina has no choice but to retreat, and the fans sing “Hey Hey Hey~, Goodbye~!” Moxley scowls but he goes back to Bryan. Bryan slowly rises while Moxley paces. Moxley says this is how it has to end! Underhooks and- NO, Bryan wrenches to ROLLING ELBOW! Moxley ducks a roundhouse to GERMAN SUPELX! Bryan is right up to BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives and the fans fire up again! The fans start singing, “You’re Gonna Get Your Effin’ Head Kicked In!” Bryan says yes he is!

Bryan grabs Moxley to DRAGON STOMP! Again and again and again, “YES! YES! YES!” And then omoplata, LEBELL LOCK!! Moxley endures, reaches out, and claws forward! Bryan pulls on the hold, then hooks the free arm! Moxley shifts to have a ROPEBREAK with his leg! Bryan lets go and Moxley bails out, but Bryan is not deterred. Bryan builds speed to DIVE! But Moxley catches him!! DEATH RIDER to bare concrete!! Moxley writhes while Bryan clutches his neck. Moxley hauls Bryan into the ring, stumbles in to cover, TWO!?!? Bryan survives and the fans are thunderous again!

Moxley sits Bryan up, leans on his old friend, and he rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!! Then the SLEEPER! Bryan endures, pries at the hold, and the fans rally up as hard as they can! Bryan fights up, has Moxley as a backpack, and he marches over to the ROPEBREAK! But then Bryan climbs the corner! The fans fire up again, and Bryan goes to the second rope for a SUPER BACKPACK SENTON! Moxley lets go, both he and Bryan are down, and the fans rally up again. Bryan sits up, Moxley kicks at him! Bryan kicks back! The fans say “YES! NO!” as the two go back and forth with the kicks! Then “YES! YES! YES!” as Bryan fires off!

Bryan shifts Moxley around, has the arm, LEBELL LOCK!!! Moxley endures, claws the hold open and rolls, but Bryan makes it a TRIANGLE HOLD! Bryan fires elbows, Moxley endures and stacks, then pops free to float and REAR NAKED CHOKE, into an ARMBAR! But Bryan shifts, slips free, LEG CAPTURE SUPLEX! Moxley’s right up!? Bryan dodges him, to BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, TWO!?!? The fans fire up again, BUSAIKU- LARIAT!! Moxley hauls Bryan up, to LARIAT again! Cover, TWO!! Bryan is still in this and the fans stay fired up! Moxley paces, soaks up the heat, and vows to end it now.

Moxley drags Bryan up and underhooks, DEATH RIDER!! Cover, ONE?!?!? Bryan defies Moxley and the fans are electric! “YES! YES! YES!” and both men rise up. Moxley tells Bryan not to make him do this. Moxley sits Bryan up, but Bryan SPITS at Moxley, then SLAPS him! Moxley reels Bryan in, GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER!!! And then SLEEPER!! BULLY CHOKE!! Bryan flails, reaches out, pries at the hold, stands up again, and Moxley is again a backpack! Moxley slips down, squeezes tight, and the fans rally as hard as they can for Bryan! But Bryan is fading! Moxley brings Bryan down into the REAR NAKED CHOKE! BRYAN IS OUT?!?! MOXLEY WINS!!!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (NEW AEW World Champion)

The fans cannot believe it! They cannot accept it! But it is reality! The Maniac slays The American Dragon by squeezing the life out of him! And yet, he bows to show respect to Bryan? Bryan’s own promise was that as soon as he lost this title, he’d step back from in-ring competition. Moxley is now joined by his Blackpool Combat Club, Marina, Pac and Claudio Castagnoli. The title is put in a duffel bag for whatever reason, and Marina now has a plastic bag?! Moxley wants to do like he did to Bryan at All Out?! But here comes Wheeler Yuta AND Darby Allin! They run The BCC off and spare Bryan from more!

Darby eyes Moxley, dares him to try something, but then Yuta BUSAIKU KNEES Darby?!?! Even Yuta seems like he didn’t want to, but he fell back in line with the BCC! Is it because Bryan lost and there’s no reason to be loyal to him anymore?! Pac meanwhile stomps Darby into the corner, and Marina duct tapes Darby to the ropes! The fans cuss out Yuta, they boo The BCC, but Moxley stalks Bryan. Marina splashes Darby with water to wake him up to watch. Moxley gives Yuta the plastic bag!? Yuta shakes his head, but he still BAGS Bryan!!! The fans are losing their minds but Yuta tells Bryan to stop fighting it! Just stop fighting it!

Darby tells The BCC to stop this, and security rushes out here, but The BCC kicks them all away!! Yuta is choking Bryan out, even though he doesn’t want to! Private Party runs out here, they get kicked away! Jeff Jarrett runs in but he gets mugged, too! Moxley and Jarrett brawl but Moxley JAMS Jarrett with a chair! Claudio puts a chair around Bryan’s neck?!? Wasn’t taking the title and his career enough!? Darby SPITS at Claudio but he can’t do anything while stuck in the corner! Moxley gives the go ahead, and Claudio CURB STOMPS Bryan!!! Private Party & Jarrett keep trying, but now here comes the rest of the locker room!!

The Conglomeration, Hook, Daniel Garcia, Adam Cole, they all get out here and run The BCC off, but the damage has been done. Darby is freed from the corner, medical is hurried into the ring, and a stretcher is already brought out. The bottom rope is removed so the EMTs can bring Bryan out of the ring. The fans chant “Thank You, Bryan!” as this may very well be the last time anyone sees him on AEW programming again. Why did Moxley and the BCC have to go this far?


My Thoughts:

A mostly awesome WrestleDream, but much like All Out, mixed feelings with how a lot of things went. The Zero Hour had great stuff as always, but this one time, I felt like it only needed three matches. The best thing was the first match where Cage won the TV Championship. That is great for him, and for ROH overall since Atlantis Jr. is a CMLL guy and wasn’t always part of ROH programming. Cage can be a fighting champion, or at least I’d like if he was, and that’s going to be a lot of fun. MXM Collection’s third man reveal was cool for continuity from way back when, but still a letdown when this could’ve really freshened things up in The Acclaimed’s story, even if it meant Caster turning on Bowens to thereby end The Acclaimed.

Good win for Anna Jay in a really good match between her and Harley, the only other women’s match on the night. The 8 Man Tag match was a lot of fun, too, and it at least established Conglomeration being in town for things relevant to them. Cassidy’s promo with Jerry Lynn and Hook kinda didn’t need to happen tonight, though, that could’ve been a Dynamite promo. For that matter, same for Mone & Kamille disrespecting Aminata, they could’ve played that at the start of a Dynamite or Collision and still set up Mone VS Aminata the same way. Meanwhile, Kyle and Okada having their promo and brawl was the one thing that was fitting, since we saw Kyle in a match and Okada was free. That will be a great match, maybe for Battle of the Belts next Saturday.

Match order on an AEW PPV is always a touch confusing, but I appreciated Hangman VS White opened. That was a great match to really test White in his return, and a great win for it. Hangman might not let White move on yet, because for one, not sure who White’s other target could be. Christian Cage & The Patriarchy for taking the trios titles? That’d be fun. Awesome 2 Out of 3 Falls from Hologram VS Mortos, but I’m not sure it needed to be on PPV if there wasn’t really anything on the line. Granted, we all love Hologram and Mortos so who wouldn’t want to see this? A little surprised Rush didn’t show up, though, to try and establish a match with Hologram.

Great stuff in all the championship matches, but again, some mixed feelings. Mariah VS Willow was great stuff, and for a moment I thought Willow could’ve had it, but no, Mariah retains. No Mina Shirakawa at all but maybe she shows up for Dynamite as Mariah wants her celebration. Also, I’d like to think even if Britt had faced Willow on Title Tuesday and won then to be here tonight, she probably would’ve been fed to Mariah, too, for the sake of building Mariah up. At least, that would be fair, as Britt only just returned again after All Out and does need a little bit of time before she’s world champion again.

Great TNT Championship match from Perry and Shibata, and Perry snatching victory from the jaws of defeat was a great way to do that. We’ve seen that kind of finish here and there, so it was great for Perry to survive rather than beat Shibata. Plus, great opening for Garcia to confront Perry, MJF to return and confront Garcia, and then Cole to return and confront MJF. Cole VS MJF is finally going to happen, and perhaps it was best that things turned out like this. MJF reverted back to Heel, which is still his strongest persona, and Cole has proven himself a strong Face, these two can have a great match for Full Gear that sends the winner towards a title.

The International Championship Triple Threat was awesome, but I did not think they’d go this way with Fletcher. I thought Fletcher was going to save Ospreay from Callis, but apparently not. Fletcher now sees things Callis’ way, he turns on Ospreay, and other than maybe Ricochet helping out, Ospreay is likely fighting the Don Callis Family alone. Silver lining is Konosuke now has the title, as he has deserved a title for a long time. Meanwhile, The Bucks VS Private Party was awesome, BUT the wrong choice was made. After talking so much about “five years, what’ve you done?” and having Amazing Red join in on that entrance video, Private Party should’ve won and humbled The Bucks.

Even then, they did nothing with Top Flight or Stokely being ringside, other than both sides having cause to say “Told you so.” Granted, such a promo can happen on Dynamite, but they wouldn’t need such promos if Private Party won. Instead, Stokely could recruit a new team, or even just join Top Flight as their manager, and they take on Private Party to put over some young talent that fans all still really like. Briscoe VS Jericho was really good stuff, and it was properly overbooked with Keith & Bill getting involved, with Rocky & Cassidy stopping them. I’m personally glad Mark retained, we don’t need Jericho having the ROH title again, but it also did stop there from being twists like Rocky turning, feeling jaded over how things have gone on Dynamite and Rampage.

Great promo segment with Swerve and the unofficially “Hurt Syndicate” tonight. Swerve lived up to his nickname as he kept swerving us on which way he was going. Good reference of continuity between Defy, some implied WWE crossover, and then stuff Hangman brought up in the beginning of his feud with Swerve, lots of fun. But as I figured, Swerve did not leave Nana, he and Nana are sticking together. Good stuff from Shelton getting heated, but I was kinda hoping Bobby Lashley would show up to really get fans going nuts. Perhaps Swerve VS Shelton happens, Swerve wins, and then Lashley shows up then to set up a match with Swerve at Full Gear. Either way, it all feels like the trope of “You lose, you join up” will be used.

Great stuff with Darby VS Brody but WOW, didn’t think they’d go that hard with the steel steps. Great win for Darby, though, and great show of respect between him and Brody. Darby is certainly poised to go after the world title again, given his part in the ending tonight, and maybe it happens at Full Gear, but who knows. The world championship was awesome, even with Marina getting involved here and there, and it seems bare concrete is going to be the go-to move for Moxley and Marina. As I said at the start, mixed feelings. For one, Bryan passes out for the loss, but I suppose that’s the most fitting for Bryan. He wasn’t ever gonna tap out, and apparently Moxley has no move that can take Bryan out for the pinfall, it’s one of those “body gave out before his spirit did” tropes.

The biggest mixed feeling is everything with what happened after. On one hand, I just knew Yuta was joining BCC again. The way they framed that shot of Darby staring Moxley down, Yuta was primed to attack Darby. But on the other hand, they really went to a scary place with how they didn’t just beat up Bryan, but they went like rated R action movie with this. The plastic bag, the choking, the chaos of other Faces running out there but getting fought off, the chair around the neck, all well done to stir up these feelings, but still… It was one thing for this to be Bryan’s last match and we could say #ThankYouBryan and it’s bittersweet, but it’s another to push the envelope and (even if it’s just kayfabe) make this feel like Bryan’s last moment on camera period.

My Score: 9.1/10

Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again. Ospreay powers up and out, Ricochet runs him over, but Ospreay kips up!

The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay rolls, wrenches and wristlocks, but Ricochet spins and wrenches to hammerlock. Ospreay reaches back, headlocks and hits a takeover. Ricochet rolls to a cover, TWO! Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.

The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS! Ricochet whips, Ospreay reverses, but Ricochet rolls off Ospreay’s back! Things keep moving, Ospreay avoids the handspring to then duck ‘n’ dodges and RANA! But Ricochet handsprings through!

Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Ospreay, RAMS him again, then snapmares to UPPERCUT in the back! Cover, TWO! Ospreay stays in this but Ricochet drags him into a motorcycle stretch. Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!

Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner. Ricochet runs up, RAMS into Ospreay, then goes to the apron. Ospreay takes a swing but Ricochet dodges and gets around him to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ospreay lands out!

Ricochet V-TRIGGERS, then he reels Ospreay in! But Ospreay fights out of the bomb, but then Ricochet returns the favor! Ricochet suplexes, into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Ospreay springboards for the OSC- CUTTER FROM RICOCHET!! Ricochet hurries to get Ospreay up, powerbomb into fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! SPIRIT- HIDDEN BLADE!! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Ospreay and Ricochet both slowly sit up and the fans rally as hard as ever. Ricochet and Ospreay stare down, talk a bit of trash, then stand up. Ospreay draws a line in the sand and dares Ricochet to step up.

Ricochet steps right up, they stand toe to toe, literally! They start firing forearms! The fans cheer Ospreay, boo Ricochet, and Ricochet wobbles!

The fans count, Ospreay would’ve won twice over! Ospreay calls to the ref, the ref sputters around, and Ospreay goes up. But then Ricochet kicks the ref into ropes! Ospreay gets tripped up and the fans boo more! Ospreay is confused as to what happened, but SPIRIT GUN hits the mark!! Cover, RICOCHET WINS!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?

 

Adam Cole heads to the ring!

The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.

MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.

When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.

Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.

Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!

In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.

But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.

But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!

Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!

But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?

 

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?

Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?

 

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.

AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.

“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

 

Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes.

Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.

Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!

Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA!

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!

The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?

 

Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.

They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!

And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.

But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!

The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-

Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?

 

Backstage interview with The Vendetta.

Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message  last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.

Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

Julia Hart speaks.

“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

The fans rally while both men are down again. Darby and Claudio slowly rise, and Ricochet watches, very amused as Darby is his next opponent in the round robin. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up, but Claudio UPPERCUTS! Claudio HEADBUTTS Darby, then climbs up again. Claudio brings Darby up and suplexes, but Darby fights around! SUPER SCORPION DEATH DROP!! The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Darby rises up. Darby climbs to the very top, COFFION DROP onto knees! Claudio saves himself, then he hauls Darby up. Straitjacket and RICOLA~ BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?

Darby survives and shocks Claudio! Claudio argues with the ref but the count was fair! Darby’s just that tough! Claudio goes back to Darby and ripcords him into the RICOLA~ BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?! HOW?!? Claudio goes outside, and he brings out something from under the ring. He also has a chair! The ref takes the chair from Claudio, but Claudio has BRASS KNUCKLES! BRASS KNUCKLE PUNCH!!! Cover, CLAUDIO WINS!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Darby earns 0)

The Swiss Superman screws over Darby, but then he gets that chair back. But wait, Ospreay slides into the ring! And HE has the brass knuckles that Claudio tossed aside! Ospreay dares Claudio to do something, but Claudio simply leaves. Does this mean Ospreay’s ready to ride against the Death Riders with Darby? Or will we see a Miracle on 34th Street send Ospreay and Darby to Worlds End?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision here as the last one before Worlds End, and therefore a bit of a go-home in itself. While the continued feud of MJF and Cole has still been a bit clunky since they did the double turn, their faceoff did a good job addressing some of that. They got good digs at each other as always, and MJF snapping and revealing “the truth” was their big move to recover this story. We of course got a brawl, and good save by The Kingdom. It feels like MJF still finds a way to hold onto the diamond ring, but c’mon, how fitting is it for Cole to get a diamond.

Good bit with Toni Storm and The Vendetta, and Deonna’s reaction to Toni was great. Deonna is justified in thinking this is still an act from Toni, not a legitimate psychological problem, and Toni VS Taya will be good stuff. Good promo from Kris Statlander, good match from her and Penelope Ford, and of course a good win for Kris. Good promo from Mone to make Worlds End official, but as I’ve been saying, Mone is more likely to lose the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship as part of the big NJPW Tokyo Dome weekend. The irony is, Mina Shirakawa is her challenger and Mina shows up plenty in AEW, so I don’t know how that math is supposed to work.

Good promo from Mariah May as it also turned into a brawl with Thunder Rosa. As it stands, Rosa standing tall holding up the belt means she is NOT winning at Worlds End, but they could still give us a little more from Rosa and Mariah on Dynamite’s Christmas episode to turn the tables. Good promo from Julia Hart to respond to Jamie Hayter, they’ll have a good match. Good promo from Orange Cassidy to try and reason with Jay White and Hangman Page, but that’s all the more reason Moxley likely uses the challengers all against each other like he did on Wednesday. Though, it would be fun if they at least started the match all annihilating Moxley with their finishers, making us think it’ll work out in favor of “Team AEW.”

Good stuff with Big Boom AJ & Big Justice here tonight, both hyping up the show but also interacting with Jericho’s group and even Anthony Bowens. They’re adding some more foreshadowing to The Acclaimed breaking up, and I guess we’re supposed to see this as a positive move, Bowens feuding with Jericho. Unless Bowens is going to be the guy that dethrones Jericho for whatever ROH cable TV debut/return is planned, the Jericho Vortex strikes again. Bowens should be going for an AEW midcard title, but right now, those are all tied up what with the C2 going on and the International Championship being tied up in Worlds End and NJPW plans.

Speaking of the C2, great stuff with all the matches tonight. Shelton VS Garcia was great stuff, and while Garcia gets the win, they’re still giving us some set-up for a TNT Championship match of Garcia VS Shelton. Mark Briscoe of course made the save, but great surprise for Swerve to show up. Lashley VS Swerve for Worlds End just needs to be said, it already feels a given. All that brawling was also a good segue into Mark VS Mortos, and another great showing for Mortos, even in losing. But as Mark has already had all his matches and is at 9 points, Kyle doesn’t even need to win against Garcia, he just needs to draw so that Mark will be out, and Garcia with him.

While Ospreay VS Darby on Wednesday raised the bar, Ospreay VS Ricochet still had great stuff of its own. Plus, Ricochet is bringing out more of his Heel side what with using the ref, and Ricochet’s win puts the pressure on Ospreay for Christmas Dynamite. Now, no offense to Brody King, but I’m thinking Ospreay wins that to take one of the semifinal spots. Darby VS Claudio tonight was also great, but Darby doing his best Sting off the truss was not the best when he gets that whiplash on the floor. I really thought that match was going to be called for concussion protocol, but Darby’s weirdly indestructible.

Claudio still cheats this win so there’s more heat on the Death Riders and Darby is also behind the 8 ball. Ospreay making the save was good, we can definitely have another “Team AEW” VS Death Riders with Ospreay joining Darby and a couple others, but the way they did the order of matches, Claudio’s got a seemingly easy ride against Komander for Christmas. Though, how awesome would it be if Komander pulled off the spoiler? Or if they were really going to add some drama, they should create a situation where the Death Riders end up ringside, violating the Continental Rules of no cornermen and that disqualifies Claudio. Claudio misses out on the semifinals because of a technicality, sending Ospreay and maybe Ricochet to the semifinals.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!

Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!

Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!

And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?

Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.

Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.

Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save! Konosuke swings, Hobbs dodges, so the elbow DECKS Davis! Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke, Cage ROCKS Hobbs! Cage clinches, Konosuke returns, KNEE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cage covers, TWO! Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke. The Callis Family stomps a mudhole into Hobbs, but then Hobbs CHOPS Konosuke! Konosuke snarls, and he CHOPS in return!

Konosuke ROCKS Hobbs, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count but then Konosuke BITES Hobbs on the forehead! The ref counts, Konosuke lets off, and Hobbs sputters on the ropes.

The fans fire up while Hobbs crawls, hot tag to Davis! Davis fires hands on Cage, “MEAT! MEAT!” Davis DECKS Cage, then whips him to ropes. Cage reveres but Davis picks him up, BACKDROP! Davis SENTONS but onto knees! Davis writhes, Cage tags Konosuke! POWER- NO, Davis stops the knee! Davis takes a swing but Konosuke ducks that, to BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Davis survives and Konosuke snarls, but Rampage goes picture in picture.

Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.

Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke! Hobbs LARIATS Konosuke, LARIATS again, then runs up to LARIAT in a corner! Cage runs up but he’s send into Konosuke! Hobbs SANDWEICHES the Family!

Cover, Davis blocks Cage, but Cage SHOVES Davis onto the cover! Cage then TOSSES Davis out, and he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs TOSSES Cage! Hobbs grins as he has Konosuke alone. The straps come down, and Hobbs runs up, only for Konosuke to dodge!

Konosuke runs, Cage tags in, and Konosuke BOOTS Hobbs in the corner! Cage runs up to UPPERCUT, GAMANGIRI, and then GERMAN SUPLEX! Hobbs flounders, Cage hauls him up, PUMP HANDLE FACEBUSTER!!

Winners: Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage, by pinfall

The Alpha slam dunks on Dunkzilla, and now he has 8 days to prepare for the Powerhouse! Will Konosuke hold onto his International Championship against Hobbs? Or will taking that title be the perfect payback?

 

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?

 

Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!

The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?

The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles. Myles fights back with forearms and CHOPS! Myle runs, but Lio & Action split the difference. Lio spins Myles for Action to mule kick, knee lift and ROLLING ELBOW! Lio fires fast hands, then DECKS Myles! Goldy springboards but Lio & Action dodge! Lio eggs Goldy on, then he and Action split the difference again!

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall

Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?

 

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…

Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!

Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Willow storms around while Harley staggers up. Willow scoops Harley again, then carries her around to put her in the Tree of Woe! Willow stomps a mudhole in, then lets off to run up! But Harley BOOTS her while upside-down! Harley gets free, ELBOWS Willow, then runs to knee her low! Harley runs with Willow to HOTSHOT BULLDOG! Willow is stuck in ropes, and Harley AX KICKS her! Harley then headscissors Willow to CHOKE her in the ropes! The ref counts, Harley lets go at 4, and Harley soaks up cheers and jeers from DC. Harley stomps Willow, then drags her to the outside. Harley SMACKS Willow off the apron!

Harley paces while Willow flounders, and Harley has her against railing. Harley CHOPS Willow, then brings her around. Willow blocks the bump to SMACK Harley off the apron! Harley turns things around to SMACK Willow off the apron! Harley shoves Willow in, storms up on her, and stands her up for buckle bumps. Harley stomps Willow, digs her boots in, and she thrashes around! The ref counts, Harley lets off at 4, but Willow elbows her in return! Harley RAMS into Willow again and again, but Willow CLUBS Harley! Harley ROCKS Willow, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS Willow down! Harley soaks up more cheers and jeers while Rampage goes to break.

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!

Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?

 

Team Triple J speaks backstage.

Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!

While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size. Komander then dodges Brody, DROPKICKS him, but Brody CLOBBERS Komander on the return! Brody eggs Komander on and then scuffs him. Komander gets mad and CHOPS! Brody grins and eggs Komander on. Komander CHOPS, but Brody wants more!

Komander fires up to CHOP, but Brody CHOPS Komander down! The fans fire up and Brody grins. Komander sputters, Brody paces, and Brody drags Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody bumps Komander off buckles, CHOPS again, and Komander flounders away! Brody stalks Komander to the corner, CHOPS him again, and Komander falls over! Brody hauls Komander up, whips him, but Komander goes up and over! Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Brody BACKDROPS Komander! The fans bark while Komander writhes, and Brody drags Komander up. But Komander fires body shots and a CHOP!

Brody KNEES low and Komander drops. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody asks, “Are you done?!” Brody whips Komander, but Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to then springboard, but Brody catches Komander with ease! Brody pops Komander up, but Komander pops free, sunset flip, ONE!! Brody drags Komander up and CLUBS him! Komander wobbles, Brody ROCKS him again! Brody drags Komander off the ropes, suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER! Big men still have to breathe, but Brody RAMS Komander into the buckles! Brody swings, misses, and that bad hand hits post! Komander fires KICKS on the legs!

Komander bobs ‘n’ weaves, kicks, mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Brody wobbles and the fans rally up! Komander knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up and up and jumps around! But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over! Brody hurries to haul Komander back up, and he suplexes Komander to the floor! Komander writhes more while Brody refreshes the count again. Brody goes back to Komander, scuffs him, and brings him back up.

Komander KICKS Brody, CHOPS, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody revels in the noise from DC while he stands on Komander’s neck! The ref reprimands, Brody steps off and rolls into the ring. Brody again refreshes the count so he can fetch Komander. Brody puts Komander in the ring, covers, TWO! Komander is still in this but Brody is more amused than anything. Brody paces then brings Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander to a corner, then revels in the noise a bit more. Brody then digs his boot into Komander, but lets off as the ref counts. Brody drags Komander up to CHOP, but Komander CHOPS! Brody CHOPS Komander down!

Brody digs his boots in again, but the ref counts. Brody steps away, then drags Komander to his feet. Brody ROCKS Komander as the Holiday Bash returns to single picture. Brody eggs Komander on, stands him up, and ROCKS him again! Komander flops against ropes but Brody dares him to keep fighting. Komander staggers up, but Brody CHOPS him! Komander is stinging but Brody ROCKS him! Brody whips, Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to QUEBRADA, but Brody catches him! But Komander slips down into the STANDING BONE LOCK! The fans fire up but Brody powers up! Brody THROWS Komander right off! SENTON FLOPS as Komander moves!

Komander hurries to basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Brody and Komander both crawl to ropes! They both stand, Brody runs up, but Komander swings around, CRUCIFIX DRIVER! Brody flops out to the floor! Komander sees that and the fans fire up! Komander builds going side to side, and he goes up and up and CROSSBODIES, but Brody catches him!

Direct hit with that escalara cannonball! The fans fire up as Komander rises again! Komander and Brody both head for the ring while fans sing again, “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~!” Komander has Brody in the drop zone! Komander goes up the corner, but Brody CLUBS him first! Brody has Komander in the Electric Chair Lift, then goes up the corner!? But Komander fights, shifts, and SUPER SUSNET FLIP POWERBOMBS!!

Brody is in the drop zone again and Komander rises! 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and Komander cannot believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Komander rises and goes to another corner. Komander tunes up the band, runs corner to corner, but Brody SLAPS him first! Brody runs but Komander dodges, Brody POSTS himself! Komander is on the apron and he runs up, to SHOTGUN Brody to the floor! Brody sputters, Komander climbs the corner, and the fans are thunderous! Komander springboards to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!

Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)

If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.

Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.

And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.

My Score: 8.8/10
