PLAY BY PLAY
The Hurt Syndicate is here!
Shelton Benjamin has Montel Vontavious Porter and Bobby Lashley with him as he makes his way out, because the Standard of Excellence is going to jump into the Continental Classic round robin tournament in mere moments. But first, MVP has the mic to call our attention to an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. “Tonight, AEW and the Hurt Syndicate are coming to you LIVE from the Wintrust Arena in Chicago!” The fans cheer that! And MVP says bien gin Chicago, then it is an appropriate analogy to say he has two of the greatest athletes to EVER grace a pro-wrestling ring! Two men who are head and shoulders above the entire field!
This is like being between Walter Payton and Michael Jordan! Chicago appreciates MVP’s comparison. MVP says no, it isn’t about him, it is about The Syndicate and the lessons that they teach. MVP will make it very plain: When he offers you a business card, an opportunity to join up, that is like a golden ticket! IT is your chance to change your life for the better, if you’re smart. Or if you’re like Swerve Strickland and you’re not, your youthful exuberance becoming arrogance… The fans still cheer “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Funny they feel that way, since the All Mighty Bobby Lashley beat the SNOT outta Swerve!
So if you’re confused on whose house this is, just look at the big screen. We get a highlight reel of that match from Full Gear, such as when Lashley Speared Swerve through the barriers, Speared him again, then clamped on the Hurt Lock. Fans are torn but MVP says Swerve is an amazing young man, a former world champion, but he is not the most dangerous man in AEW. Bobby Lashley is the most dangerous! He is a walking Armageddon! So to make this clear, the mission statement is that the Syndicate will take titles! Then they leverage the titles for money and power. That is the business, they are the Merchants of Misery! They are in the profession of pain!
And kicking off the C2 tonight will be The Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin! MVP cannot make this any clearer. They are the absolute best at absolute misery! What do they do? They hurt people! The theme song says it again and again, will the Syndicate do that again and again until they’re on top of AEW? Or will the Sussex County Chicken #ManUp and make a big impact?
Mark makes his entrance while MVP & Lashley leave, as Continental Rules mean no cornermen for any side. We have a 20 minute time limit, and the winner gets 3 points, 1 point each in a draw. Who sets the pace not just for Blue League but the tournament as a whole?

The Syndicate returns to celebrate with Shelton as he truly becomes the standard in this tournament. Who will be able to keep pace with Shelton? Will Mark be able to get back up before the round robin is through?
Some notes on the Continental Classic format:
While it is all round robin, this year will have a crisscross semifinals! First place in Gold League faces second place in Blue League, and vice-versa, the winners of those then facing off in the tournament finals. And bigger still, it all happens at Worlds End on December 28th! But in the end, the winner of this tournament will be THE Continental Champion, even without having to defeat Kazuchika Okada directly! Who will show some true grit and determination knowing there’s a doubleheader in their future?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Saturday!
Not only will Collision and Rampage combine for a solid THREE HOUR BLOCK Saturday, November 30th, but it will be live coast to coast, and at an earlier time! 4 PM Eastern for Collision, 6 PM for Rampage, meaning the West Coast will get a lunchtime helping of AEW! Make sure your schedule and DVR are adjusted accordingly so you can catch it all!
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
He welcomes us back to the show, and he welcomes out the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, the AEW TBS Champion, The CEO, Mercedes Mone! Kamille accompanies Mone, and she smiles as she’s handed the mic. Chicago boos but that’s because she’s from Boston. Mone says, “Chicagooo~! You better say hello to your C E O.” Schiavone says Mone turned the wrestling world on its head last Saturday with her win over Kris Statlander. The longest match in AEW Women’s Division history, and perhaps the Women’s Match of the Year. How does she feel? Mone says it feels like money!
But to be honest, if she could just say, Kris did give her one of the hardest fights of Mone’s career. Kris proved she is one of the very best. But Mone is THE BEST AEW TBS Champion of all time! At Full Gear, Mone showed the world how a real woman gets the job done. And since Kamille can’t get anything done right, she’s- Kamille grabs the mic to say, “SHUT! UP!!” The fans cheer Kamille as she stands up to Mone! Kamille says, “Are you stupid? Or are you dumb?” Mone can’t fire Kamille, because Kamille QUITS. Kamille hits the mic drop on Mone and storms off! The CEO has lost her Brickhouse, what will protect her from challengers now?
ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho w/ Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey VS Tomohiro Ishii!
The Learning Tree, The Nueve, the TWO-TIME ROH World Champion, has defended this title against the Stone Pitbull in this very building two years ago, but he was a very different Jericho back then. As for Ishii, with no offense to Toni Storm, Ishii is timeless! Will the Age of the Nueve only last so long? Or will he continue on towards ROH Final Battle in December?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of ROH!
The fans rally up as Ishii and Jericho get face to face. So much for the Code of Honor. Ishii CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, and we’re going right back to two years ago already! They CHOP and CHPO and CHOP, and the fans “WOO~” every time. The CHOPS build up speed and the fans love it! Both men’s chests are already so red, and they both step back to catch their breath. The CHOPS continue, and fans hope they “Chop Forever!” Jericho CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Ishii ducks one to GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans cheer as Ishii runs up, but Jericho GERMAN SUPELXES! Ishii is up to LARIAT! Jericho LARIATS in return!
The fans fire up as Ishii and Jericho DOUBLE LARIAT! And then they both run, for Jericho to BOOT! Ishii rebounds to LARIAT Jericho down! The fans fire up while Jericho flounders to the apron. Ishii storms out to join Jericho, and he CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Jericho pokes Ishii in the eyes! The fans boo but Jericho waves, “Hi, guys~!” Jericho then hits an APRON DDT! Ishii stands up on his head from that impact, and both Bill & Keith enjoy seeing that from commentary. The ref checks, Ishii is alright to continue, and Jericho waves to Chicago. Jericho then goes back to Ishii to stand him up and SMACK him off the desk!
The fans are torn, but Jericho SMACKS Ishii with the desk hood! Jericho puts Ishii in the ring, then stalks up behind him. Ishii CHOPS! Jericho frowns, then CHOPS back! Ishii CHOPS again! Jericho grimaces, but Ishii just CHOPS again! Jericho CHOPS, Ishii CHOPS, and now Jericho SLAPS! Ishii SLAPS back! They turn this into a SLAP fight! The SLAPS go back and forth from all sides! The fans fire up as this also picks up speed! Ishii ROCKS Jericho with that last one, but Ishii finally feels some of those shots. Both men step up to SLAP! Jericho has a bloody lip but he still SLAPS away on Ishii! Ishii SLAPS him again!
Dynamite goes picture in picture while Jericho backs off a moment. Jericho then frowns, steps back up, and the LSAPS just keep going! Ishii ROCKS Jericho again and again, but Jericho still comes back for more! The ref wants both men to be careful, but Jericho just fires up. Jericho SLAPS, Ishii SLAPS, and Jericho again steadies himself. The SLAPS keep on going, and then Ishii runs up to LARIAT in the corner! Jericho stumbles and leans on Ishii, but Ishii stands him up. Jericho eggs Ishii on so Ishii short-range HEADBUTTS! The SLAPS return, and they’ve got some stank on ’em! Ishii ROCKS Jericho again and again and again!
Jericho ends up in a corner, Ishii just fires off! The ref counts, Ishii rains down forearms, but he stops to roar and storm around. The fans love it as Ishii finally takes a breather. Jericho rises back up, he and Ishii step to each other, and Jericho SLOAPS! Ishii eggs Jericho on so Jericoh SLAPS more, an dthen ishii just SLAPS! The SLAPS keep going! Neither man is backing down but Ishii is again so much sturdier! The SLAPS are really hitting hard, and now Ishii wobbles! Jericho huffs ‘n’ puffs and storms back up, the SLAPS keep going! Ishii and Jericho both have rose red cheeks, but they’re not Santa Claus!
Dynamite returns to single picture as Jericho and Ishii just fire up and keep going! The fans love this, and then Jericho finally falls over! Ishii leans on ropes, perhaps some blood from his own cheek. Jericho’s busted lip is only worse, but he dodges Ishii! Jericho CHOPS, then he hoists Ishii up! Jericho climbs after Ishii, CLUBS away on Ishii, and then he brings Ishii up. SUPERPLEX! The fans are thunderous as Ishii rises up! Jericho is stunned! Ishii staggers his way back over, and Jericho fires forearms! Ishii just takes them, then ROCKS Jericho with one! Ishii runs, but Jericho BOOTS the lariat! Ishii SOUTHPAW LARAITS!
Jericho goes back to a corner and Ishii eggs him on! Jericho storms back up, and we return to the SLAP fight! Ishii swings, Jericho blocks, but then Ishii CLUBS Jericho again and again! Ishii swings, Jericho dodges, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Ishii rises up, Jericho aims, but he CLOBBERS Jericho first! Both men fall and the fans are loving this! Jericho rises, Ishii follows, and Ishii runs up, into a BOOT! CODE- NO, Ishii stops that to fire boxing elbows! Ishii runs, into a fireman’s carry! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER, and LIONSAULT! Cover, TWO!! Ishii survives and the fans are thunderous again! Bill praises Jericho as both men rise back up.
Jericho blocks a lariat to JUDAS EFFECT! And CODE BREAKER! Cover, ONE?!? Ishii roars to his feet, but then stumbles and falls! The fans are fired up as Ishii rises, but Jericho trips him! WALLS- NO, Ishii THROWS Jericho away! Jericho runs up, but Ishii RAMS, HEADBUTTS, and BATTERING RAMS Jericho! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives all that damage, but then Ishii runs! Jericho avoids the sliding lariat, but Ishii is right up to steal CODE BREAKER!! The fans fire up as Ishii hurries back to his feet! Ishii runs and LARIATS Jericho down!! Cover, TWO!!! Jericho survives, and Ishii snarls through his bloody nose!
Ishii drags Jericho up, suplexes, but Jericho fights it! Jericho wrenches, but Ishii ENZIGIRIS! Jericho drops to his knees, Ishii runs, but into a JUDAS EFFECT!! Both men are down, Bill & Keith are sure Jericho has it now! Jericho and Ishii rise, ANOTHER JUDAS EFFECT!! Cover, Jericho wins!!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)
Chicago may not like it, but as The Bad Apple says, you have to RESPECT Jericho! Jericho toughed it out and won this one all on his own! Jericho is 2-0 against Ishii on Thanksgiving Eve, but will he make it through his Final Battle?
Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland & Prince Nana.
Renee Paquette is with The Realest and his manager, and notes that Saturday, Full Gear, that was one of the most brutal losses in Swerve’s career. How does he rebuild from that? Swerve says rebuilding is something he does very well. Win or lose, Swerve figures it out. But Bobby… Swerve has never been hit so hard by anybody. Max Caster walks by and chuckles as he says that was brutal. Swerve asks what’s so funny. Caster says what’s funny is Swerve. Swerve lost at the Prudential Center last Saturday. Wasn’t that the same place where Caster once beat Swerve for the AEW World Tag Team Championships?
But hey, let’s write some comedy, drop some bars. Because EVERYONE loves The Best Wrestler Alive. Swerve used to be a house of fire, like a hose fire! Swerve grabs Caster by the neck, then THROWS him onto a road case! Swerve hammers away on Platinum Max, then THROWS him down! To then PUNT Caster in the head!! Nana says they gotta go, and Swerve leaves. Will Caster learn to hold his tongue the next time he sees the most dangerous man in AEW?
Tony Schiavone is now in the ring.
He again welcomes us back to the show, and now he welcomes out Hangman Adam Page! The fans are torn as the Blackhat Cowboy makes his way out, and Schiavone wants to talk Full Gear. Hangman loses to Jay White, and that’s just stating facts. But then Hangman goes after White, punches out Christopher Daniels, then after the main event, shows up to go after Yuta and Moxley to help Christian Cage attempt his cash-in. Just help us wrap our heads around- Hangman snatches the mic! Hangman says first of all, if Daniels wants to get in Hangman’s business, Hangman will knock him on his ass again!
And as for Full Gear, Hangman made a deal and kept his end of the bargain. Christian Cage, if you’d been able to keep up your end, then Hangman would be home tomorrow in time for lunch, chowing down on a bowl of stuffing, as the NEW AEW World Champion! But Christian FAILED! So tonight, Hangman will do what he should’ve done in the first place, and he’ll make himself very clear. His intention is and always has been to be THE AEW World Champion! The fans do cheer that. Hangman says it should have NEVER been Swerve, it should NEVER have been Bryan, NEVER have been Moxley, and it damn sure NEVER will be Christian’s!
That title is and always has been HANGMAN’S! But wait! Here comes The Switchblade! The fans cheer as Jay White is on stage, and has a mic already. White tells Hangman, “Say it with us, Hanger. Guns up for my Chicago Gold Members~! See, this is perfect, Hanger! Because I have a question for you. I would love to know, please, do tell, Mr. Page, what happened in your match at with Switchblade Jay White at Full Gear? Perhaps that’s a bit hard for him. How ’bout this one, Hanger? What happened in your match with Switchblade Jay White at WrestleDream? Ah, see, you may have forgotten, but Chicago remembers: You lost BOTH those matches!”
Switchblade beat The Hangman again! So if anyone is going after the one true king, the AEW World Championship, it will not be Hangman! It will be Switchblade! The fans cheer but White does say if Hangman needs another reminder, if FIVE losses still isn’t enough, if he wants another taste, then White will give him that here tonight in Chicago! But wait! PAC YANKS WHITE DOWN! And THROWS him into railing! The Bastard taunts Hangman, but that’s so Yuta can CHOP BLOCK Hangman! The Death Riders mug Hangman, this is revenge for Full Gear! But White gets in and he TOSSES Yuta! And he HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEXES Pac!
Hangman LARIATS White! Marina Shafir BRIEFCASE SMASHES Hangman!! The fans boo as now The Problem stalks White! Marina winds up, but White dodges! And he clinches Marina! Moxley grabs White in a SLEEPER!! The fans boo as The Maniac chokes out White, and then Marina KICKS low! SAYANAGI! MOTHER’S MILK!! Marina smothers White and White is fading out! Marina throws White down, and then the Death Riders all stomp away! The fans boo these jackals, but then Pac has the case. Moxley stands White up, and he CLOBBERS White with it!! The Death Riders get revenge on their enemies, will the reign of terror know no end?
But the night isn’t over for The Death Riders, as the Swiss Superman steps out to ringside for his Continental Classic match. Will Claudio be the real workhorse that sets the pace for this tournament? Or will the C2 be #OuttaThisWorld?

Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Don Callis.
Renee is with The Protostar and his scumbag mentor, and she says Kyle is coming off the biggest win of his career with his victory over Will Ospreay at Full Gear. To her, it seems The Don Callis Family has been on a mission to destroy Ospreay. Callis says that’s because that is what you do to get ahead in this business! What business do you think we’re all in? This is pro-wrestling! They leave no stone unturned. And they didn’t just beat Ospreay, they DECIMATED him! They SKINNED him, and left him in a heap! Because they proved that Kyle is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter and better looking than Ospreay! And they’re just getting started.
They high-five and Kyle says yes, it was definitive, 100% certain, that Kyle is better than Ospreay in every single way. And the Continental Classic will be just anther way for Kyle to prove that, in case there were other skeptics. And it all starts this Saturday! Tune in because the C2 will belong to The Protostar. Kyle is confident as ever, but will he still be feeling good after a Continental Collision?
Adam Cole is here!
Chicago cheers as The Panama City Playboy makes his way out, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett flanking him now. The fans join in on “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” and then Cole grabs a mic. “I am so sick and tired of playing this game. Max, if you were half the man that you claim to be, than you’d be a man and fight me. But you’re not, because you’re a little b*tch! Max, after what you did to Roddy, I swear to God, hell! I swear on my own mother! When I get my hands on you, I am going to beat you within an inch of your pathetic life!” Taven & Bennett seem to be conflicted on this promise, but wait! Here comes Kyle O’Reilly!
Kyle steps into the ring, mic already in hand, and he tells Cole that with all due respect, Cole fought Max and it didn’t work out. That’s why they’re in this situation. So let’s try something a little different: Let Kyle fight MJF. Because while MJF isn’t here, if he has the guts to show up next week- Cole stops Kyle there, and tells him to listen. What Kyle said last week stuck with Cole. Cole does not want his friends to fight his battles. Cole wants to be the one to end things with MJF. Kyle says this isn’t about Cole. This is for Roddy. Cole and Kyle argue off mic, Taven & Bennett try to calm them down, but then the tron has MJF playing the piano!
MJF plays the, “Oh, didn’t see you there.” But guys, in regards to them both wanting to fight MJF, he has thought about it for the past, oh, twenty seconds, and well, he’s gotta say no. Sorry. Actually, his mind is rather focused on something far more important. See, next week is the traditional Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal, and so as far as dealing with Cole and Kyle… MJF is just thinking, uh, buh-bye! Let him play you off. MJF goes back to the piano, and of course it is his theme song he plays. Cole is seething already, but he tells MJF that he’ll be the first to officially enter that battle royal! Kyle says he’ll be the second!
Cole and Kyle argue again, but fighting over the Dynamite Diamond Ring could very well be a way to get after the Wolf of Wrestling. Will someone finally end MJF’s five year streak of being the Dynamite Diamond Ringbearer?
WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup Qualifier Tournament: Jamie Hayter VS Queen Aminata!
January 5th in the Tokyo Dome, NJPW will be hosting a match of the best women’s wrestlers from around the world, with a title opportunity awaiting the winner! AEW, ROH, CMLL and Stardom are all putting up their most deserving, who will make their way into the history books?
The bell rings, Aminata and Hayter circle, then they tie up. Aminata powers Hayter back to ropes, but then Hayter powers her way back! Hayter puts Aminata in a corner, the ref counts, and Hayter lets off. Aminata storms up, they tie up again, and the fans duel as the two go around the ropes. Hayter puts Aminata in the corner, the ref counts, but Hayter lets off at 4. Aminata runs up and they tie up again. Hayter wrenches to WRING Aminata, and WRING her again! Hayter facelocks but Aminata endures the grind. Hayter gator rolls but Aminata rises up to HIP TOSS! Aminata has the headlock, and she pushes Hayter down.
Hayter rolls to cover, TWO! Both women stand, Hayter ROCKS Aminata! Hayter bumps Aminata off buckles, then bumps her off them again. Hayter stops as the ref counts, but then she CHOPS! Hayter fires up and the fans rally. Hayter CHOPS Aminata in another corner, then puts some stank on the next CHOP! Aminata turns things around to CHOP! Hayter turns it back to CHOP! Aminata CHOPS! Hayter CHOPS! Aminata ROCKS Hayter, CHOPS her, then gets in Hayter’s face. Hayter just CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Hayter swings, Aminata dodges, and Aminata DOUBLE CHOPS!

Sit-down interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is now with the Fighting Gravure Idol and brings up Full Gear and the “chaos” in the breakup between her and Mariah May. Mariah swung on Mina, Mina tackled her, they both fall off the stage, and while we saw the physical damage, Renee can only imagine the emotional. And yet at the same time, it seemed like Mina was ready for this. Mina says yes, she knew that the day would come. She was waiting a long time. If Mariah could do what she did to Toni Storm, Mina knew Mariah could do that to her, too. Mina never wanted this to happen. Mina wished Mariah was the girl she thought she was. But she’s not… This is the REAL Mariah.
Mariah is so… selfish. Mariah has to kill anyone who gets too close to her. And if that’s the real Mariah May, then time to meet the REAL Mina! Yes, everyone wants Mina, but- OH NO!! Mariah SMASHES Mina with a bottle! And then LASHES her over and over with the belt! Mariah says, “I WANT MINA!!” The Glamour is ruthless, and now Tony Khan sends word! AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming, December 11th, it is happening! Mariah VS Mina for the AEW Women’s World Championship! Will Mariah prove she is truly coldhearted? Or can Mina heat things up when she brings out her own vicious side?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One wants to tear down The Death Riders, but he’s also a glutton for punishment, so why not get in on AEW’s premier round robin? Will Darby be able to best Brody like he did at WrestleDream? Or will we all be reminded why Brody is the King of Death?
The bell rings and we get a better look at the tape all on Darby’s head, gut and leg. Darby and Brody shake hands and the two circle. They tie up, and Brody SHOVES Darby down! That hurts a lot more after all the damage Darby did to himself driving a car into the Death Rider truck. Darby still steps up and eggs Brody on! Brody blocks a kick so Darby SLAPS Brody! Brody FLIPS Darby a good 450 onto his back! And then he SENTONS! And SENTONS again! Cover, TWO!! Darby stays in this, but he is already gasping for air. Brody says this is almost ridiculous, but he drags Darby back up. Brody CHOPS Darby, then aims at the corner.
Brody runs up to SPLASH Darby, then he CHOPS! Brody TOSSES Darby across the way and the fans fire up! Brody wants the ref to just call this, but Darby is not out of the match yet. Brody storms up, Darby kicks Brody! And kicks! But Brody hauls Darby up, puts him on the top rope, and CHOPS him down! Darby falls to apron then floor and the fans hoot it up while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Brody goes out and he whips Darby hard into railing! Brody paces, Darby says he’s still in this, so Brody whips him into more railing! Darby slumps down while Brody revels in the hoots and barks. Brody storms around, DIGS Darby into the steel steps, then stomps him down! Brody paces, the ring count climbs, and Darby crawls. Brody hauls Darby up to THROW him into railing! Darby flumps down again while Brody refreshes the ring count. Brody hauls Darby up, puts him in the ring, but Darby rolls out the other side. Brody is annoyed, but he goes back out. Darby rolls back in, and now Brody is getting mad.

Darby and Brody are both down as Dynamite returns to single picture.
The fans rally up while Darby snarls and crawls. We might have even lost commentary from that attack by Brody, but Brody hurries to the ring. Darby goes up, but Brody trips him up! And CHOPS him on the back! Brody puts Darby in the Tree of Woe, and the fans hoot along. Brody roars, runs in, CANNONBALL!! This time Brody hits Darby, and now Brody covers, TWO!! Darby survives again and Brody is further frustrated. Brody hauls Darby up, hoists him onto the top rope, and then climbs up. Commentary slowly comes back as Brody CLUBS away on Darby.

Brody hauls Darby up, this is that familiar hanging sleeper! But Darby CLAWS Brody’s face! Brody just gut wrenches and GONZO BOMBS!!! Cover, BRODY WINS!!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Darby earns 0)
Darby may be relentless, but even he has his limits! Brody leaves Darby behind, having earned his points. Wait, Claudio is here! And he has a chair! But Brody steps back in to stop Claudio from touching Darby! The fans cheer Brody on, and wouldn’t you know? Brody and Claudio are going to be opponents in round two! The biggest and the baddest will already battle it out, but who will get those precious points?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to turn that corner from Full Gear to Worlds End, especially with doing the Continental Classic and even the International Women’s Cup tournament. I suppose with needing to stretch the Women’s Cup into December, the pacing of just one match a week is fine, but they could’ve surely found a way to do the opening round all this week. Then they give us a hype promo next week, that would then still lead to the AEW finals at Winter is Coming. That all aside, Hayter VS Aminata was great stuff, but I think they were pushing it a couple near falls too far because you could tell the ref had to cover for some not kick-outs. Hayter winning made sense, and then Julia does a teaser.
This kinda relates to what I’m saying, though. The matches could’ve been ALL this week, the mind games could’ve been next week, and then Hayter VS Hart happens at Winter is Coming. Speaking of which, I’m a little surprised that’s where we’re getting Mariah VS Mina. We got a very good segment from Mina and Mariah to officially establish the match, and I suppose them dragging this out to Worlds End would be too much. We already have the past relationship of Mina and Mariah to help us understand the heat behind this story, turning their friendship into hatred, and they’ll just tear it down in the ring either way.
And of course we got the ROH World Championship, as well, which was another great Strong Style match from Jericho and Ishii. They did even more heavy handed hitting than last time with the bloody lip, bloody nose, red chests and cheeks. But I figured Jericho would win, he has his promise to bring ROH to new prominence, and maybe that happens the closer we get to ROH Final Battle on December 20th. But even then, I don’t see anyone taking that title from Jericho, ROH hasn’t don’t a good job building top title contenders. Though, if they wanted Samoa Joe to finally make his return, I could see that being an instant story for the title and one amazing match.
Great promo from Mone with Kamille, mostly because it was Kamille shutting Mone up and quitting her job as bodyguard. Kamille should probably wait until after Worlds End, that seems to soon for her to earn a TBS Championship. Depending on what happens with the NJPW Strong Women’s title, I could see Kamille be more of adding insult to injury by going after Mone after Mone’s lost the NJPW title. But even then, not sure the odds of Kamille taking the title, as much as fans liked Kamille putting Mone in her place here tonight.
Good promo from Cole with Kyle and MJF to add a bit more to this story. I figured Cole and Kyle would fight it out, but I suppose them fighting it out during the Dynamite Diamond Dozen Battle Royal is a good way to do multiple things at once. And I would hope that finally, even if it’s just for this year, someone other than MJF will have that ring. Cole can beat everyone else in the battle royal, get his match with MJF, and not only win to “get even,” but to take one of the few things MJF has left. Granted, MJF will want revenge for that and the feud will continue, but at least he won’t have the ring anymore.
Very good promo from MVP after Lashley’s big win at Full Gear, and great match from Shelton and Briscoe to start the Continental Classic. I figured Shelton would win this, Briscoe is already on a similar track to last year’s C2 where he was putting over the other guys. And very good promo with Hangman and White to of course tease another match between them, but also to tie them both back into this story with The Death Riders. It almost feels like White and Hangman will be unlikely allies against The Death Riders because how they both want the same thing: a shot at the world title.
Hangman and White will have to deal with Yuta and Pac as the pawns, and maybe both of them win to make a Triple Threat at Worlds End. With that, even if Moxley retains using White and Hangman against each other, it could leave the way open for Christian Cage to cash in. But as for the C2 itself, awesome match from Claudio and Ricochet with a great win for Claudio, and then a great main event from Brody and Darby. I did not think Darby would lose, but that kinda works in his advantage as the underdog. Brody VS Claudio next round will be awesome, and really could go either way with how early it is.
Also did you hear how Collision & Rampage are not just back-to-back but several hours earlier than normal? They only had Excalibur say it like a dozen times. But even with that all starting at 2PM here for me in El Paso, that’s when Survivor Series has its “Countdown,” so I’m still going to wait until later for AEW’s Saturday block.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Renee Paquette found Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida returning backstage, and she tells them that they had an unfortunate loss in the tag match with Divine Dominion. Renee knows Kris missed out on making history with becoming the Triple Crown Champion, but then Shida says they almost had those tag belts! Shida doesn’t blame Kris, it wasn’t her fault. Kris gets mad and shoves Shida to the wall! Kris says of course it wasn’t her fault! It was Shida, because Shida didn’t listen, kicked Kris in the stomach for that suplex, and then kept tagging in! Shida apologizes but Kris says that’s enough out of her!
Kris was THIS close to making history, and Shida ruined everything! Shida apologizes again, and says they’ve been friends for almost seven YEARS! Shida promises to make this up to Kris. Kris storms off, but what can Shida do to keep that promise?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS MXM TV!
Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong are still the AEW World Trios Champions after facing yet another Don Callis Family formation, but now they’re preparing for Dynamite Double Jeopardy on Wednesday. Will facing Mansoor, Mason Madden & Johnny TV be more than enough to prepare Cassidy for Dax Harwood? Or will MXM TV finally have their own chance at the AEW World Trios titles?
The trios sort out and Kyle steps up against Mansoor. The bell rings, they circle, and Mansoor shows off his drop steps. He might also be mocking Kyle as he drops down and puts up a leg guard. The two circle, and Kyle KICKS Mansoor’s leg! Mansoor tags to Mason, and Mason also mocks Kyle with a kung-fu stance. Kyle just KICKS Mason’s leg! Mason shouts, “OW!” Mason tags Johnny and the fans cheer. Johnny and Kyle circle, Johnny avoids a kick and goes for the leg. Johnny cartwheels but Kyle KICKS him in the chest! Kyle puts Johnny in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags in.
Roddy climbs up and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags Cassidy. Cassidy climbs up, the fans cheer, but MXM YANK Kyle & Roddy down! Then Johnny sweeps the legs! No mercy in this dojo! Johnny fires hands on Cassidy while MXM mugs Kyle & Roddy! The ref reprimands, but Johnny TOSSES Cassidy out! Then MXM TV set up, and Johnny FLIES to wipe out Roddy & Kyle! The fans are torn, but MXM build speed, to then POSE! The fans cheer, especially as Cassidy rolls in and joins them! MXM shoves Cassidy, he ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he BOOTS Mansoor while he tilt-o-whirls!
Mason stops the DDT, throws Cassidy to Mansoor, LEG LARIAT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Johnny is in, STARSHIP PAIN!! Cover, Kyle breaks it! MXM mugs Roddy & Kyle, then they TOSS them out. MXM TV drag Cassidy up, and Mason Electric Chair Lifts! But Kyle trips Johnny while Roddy saves Cassidy! Then they shove Mason into Mansoor!

Then he guzels to SUPER CHOKE SLAM Mansoor onto Mason! Johnny is back, but Kyle KNEES! Then AX ‘N’ SMASH! Cassidy aims, but he has them bring Johnny closer. LAZY ELBOW! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Anna Jay!
Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata, and Kamille all tried and failed to take this title from the Babe with the Power, giving rise to the new nickname, “The Comeback Killer.” But will that still be true against The Queen Slayer? Or will Anna truly become the Star of the Show?

Willow hobbles up, Anna runs to ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but goes to a corner. Anna storms up to stomp a mudhole into Willow, but stops as the ref counts.

Anna sure put up a fight, but Willow is 4-0 as the Comeback Killer! Willow helps Anna to her feet to show there is respect here, and they also hug it out. But will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve been up to, dethrone the Face of TBS?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?
Moxley joins commentary for this match, and he admits that 10 Man Tag was a tornado of a match, where you just hang out, pray, and trust your skills to see you through.

Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together! Then they DOUBLE SHOTGUN Ace down! Marina & Moxley love it but they’re the only ones. Garcia reels Ace into a PERUVIAN NECKTIE! The fans boo, but Juice rises up.

The fans fire up for Juice, and he CROSSBODIES Garcia down! Juice talks trash on Moxley, but Garica throat chops him! Moxley says keep your eye on the ball. Yuta DIVES, but Juice uses Garcia as a shield! the fans cheer the friendly fire, and Jucie SMACKS Yuta off the desk! Yuta is busted right open! Juice fires up, the fans pump it up with him, and Juice JABS! JABS! JABS! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Garcia gets up, but he gets the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Yuta runs up, but Juice JABS, JABS, JABS! Marina gets up, and Juice thinks about it. But Yuta rolls Juice up! TWO and Yuta bumps into Marina! The fans cheer as Juice then O’Conner Rolls, TWO!

The fans fire up as The Bang Bang Gang is now four men strong! Colten gets a mic to shout, “The Collision Cowboys are back, baby! This is OUR show! And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?
The bell rings and Skye just BOOTS Nixi down! Then she scuffs Nixi, talks trash on her, and pie faces her around. Skye TOSSES Nixi out, then runs up, only for Nixi to BOOT her back!

She drops down, DESCENT INTO MADNESS! Nixi TAPS, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by submission
Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off. Knight asks Shibata if he taught Hook that trick. Shibata ignores Knight, but Knight and Hook tie up again. Hook headlocks, wrenches, then wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to snapmare. Knight drops a KNEE on the arm! Hook scrambles away but Knight calls to Shibata, saying he knows Shibata knows these tricks.

Knight arm-drags Hook, then arm-drags again, but Hook avoids the dropkick! The fans boo as Hook scrambles to the corner.
Knight taunts Hook & Shibata, but Shibata coaches Hook up. Hook kicks low, ROCKS Knight, then fires body shots and backhands in the corner! Knight turns things around to return the body shots and forearms! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, but Hook avoids the haymaker! Hook fires more body shots, then a HEADBUTT! Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring. Hook argues with the ref more, but that lets Shibata line up a shot! Shibata BOOTS Knight into the crowd! The fans cheer again, they don’t mind Collision being interactive.

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

Knight lands out, back suplexes, but MJF lands out! Another back suplex, but into the CUTTER! Cover, TWO! MJF argues with the ref but the count was fair.

Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side.

Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes.

But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up.

Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP!

Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks.

Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?

Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
