PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us to Manchester, New Hampshire, and says let’s start tonight by bringing in The Hurt Syndicate! The fans fire up as Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley all make their way to the ring. They are all dressed to kill in those suits and ties as they join Schiavone in the ring. The fans cheer for MVP, and MVP has Schiavone hold on, “Don’t be rude.” MVP lets the fans chant for him a little more, and then he has a mic of his own. While he appreciates the introductions from Schiavone, he clearly doesn’t need one. The fans cheer, and MVP excuses Schiavone.
MVP then says, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate.” The fans cheer as MVP introduces himself, and he is joined tonight by his business partners, his colleagues, his brothers in arms! First, The Standard of Excellence, Mr. Shelton Benjamin. A multi-time NCAA All American, one of the most decorated pro-wrestlers in the history of the industry, and as we’ve seen over the last few weeks, one of the most fearsome competitors to stand in this ring. And to MVP’s right… The fans already cheer for “Bobby! Bobby!” Yes, here stands a multi-time collegiate amateur champion, a man with an MMA fighting record of 19-0!
This is the ALL MIGHTY Champion, four times across three different companies, this IS Bobby Lashley! Now, as the Hurt Syndicate, their goal is to really “enrich the lives of younger talent.” They wanna uplift guys and help them realize their greatest potential, much in the way they did for each other. They rose up to become the fearsome threesome that they have become! And IF MVP should offer you a card… That card is like your golden ticket to success! If you accept it, it can change your life. And if you reject it… Well, this is what happens. MVP cues footage of last week, as Lashley took out Swerve, with MVP neutralizing Prince Nana.
MVP says they really, really did wanna help Swerve. They wanted to elevate Swerve! They didn’t want to make an enemy of Swerve, but Swerve wanted to make an enemy of them. But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Because yes, Swerve Strickland is here! But referees are already trying to stop him from going to the ring! Even Nana wants Swerve to calm down and think about this. The Hurt Syndicate dares Swerve to do something, but Nana hands Swerve a mic instead. Swerve glares at the ring as he shouts at, “BOBBY! LASHLEY! Full. Gear.” The fans fire up for that! MVP says, “We’ll see ya there, kid.”
And so, challenge issued and challenge accepted! The Realest and The All Mighty are about to throw down, but who will be the one getting hurt in New Jersey?
Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli & PAC w/ Wheeler Yuta!
After everything that has happened since The Blackpool Combat Club betrayed Bryan Danielson, this match was bound to happen.

Is Darby even going to be able to walk after nearly being broken in half?
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with The One & Only, and says tonight he takes on The Don Callis Family with a mystery partner. Can we get any hints as to who that might be? Ricochet says it is a huge responsibility, as he could pick anyone in AEW. And it’s really easy when everyone in AEW has a problem with The Don Callis Family. As much as Ricochet wants to tell us, he’ll keep it a secret for later tonight. Renee says fair enough. And then in steps The Hurt Syndicate. MVP pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and Ricochet says it’s nice to see Bobby again. Didn’t they talk already? MVP says they did. They’re just wishing him good luck.
Lashley makes sure Ricochet’s tie is right, and Ricochet says, “Watch me work.” MVP promises that they will. Is this a sign that the offer to join is still open to Ricochet? Just who did Ricochet find to be his partner against Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher?
Six Man Fight Without Honor: The Conglomeration VS The Learning Tree!
Mark Briscoe has tried to ignore Chris Jericho, even after losing the ROH World Championship to him, but The Nueve just can’t leave Jay Briscoe’s name out of his mouth. Clearly, there is no honor in Jericho, Bryan Keith or “Big Bill” Morrissey, so there’s nothing to hold back the Sussex County Chicken or his friends in beating their asses! Will Mark, Kyle & “Big Tom” Ishii finally burn down this rotten Learning Tree? Or will they never escape the Jericho Vortex?
Dynamite returns as The Learning Tree makes his entrance, his Branches by his side. They step into the ring, Jericho waves at the crowd, and then Jericho turns around into a HAYMAKER from mark! The bell rings and the fight is on! Ishii SWATS a kendo stick away then TOSSES Keith out! Bill beats up on Kyle but Ishii storms out after Keith. Keith JAMS Ishii up with the kendo stick!

Kyle fires off on Keith, but Keith CLAWS Kyle’s face! Keith and Kyle FALL down through the other table!! The fans are thunderous, and now Mark brings out a ladder! This has become an honorary TLC, but Bill KNEES Mark low! Bill hoists Mark up, to CHOKE SLAM through the ladder!! The fans lose their minds as all six men are down on the outside! The fans cheer for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks all six men, and they’re all somehow still in this. Mark crawls away from the wreckage, Bill stirs and looks to Jericho. Jericho also stirs, but now Mark brings out a new table! Mark pushes that into the ring, hobbles and falls, but Jericho is on Ishii. Ishii CHOPS Jericho! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Jericho CHOPS in return! Ishii CHOPS again! They trade CHOPS, the ref wants this in the ring, but there’s no point in reprimanding when there’s no disqualifications! Bill puts some stank on a CHOP to Mark! The CHOPS between Ishii and Jericho continue, and Mark CHOPS Bill! Bill UPPERCUTS Mark!
Jericho still CHOPS Ishii, Ishii still CHOPS Jericho, and Kyle stalks Keith around the way. Jericho finally goes into the ring while Keith DECKS Kyle! Bill DECKS Mark, and he does a dance to mock him. Mark is right up to fire CHOP after CHOP! Keith CLAWS Kyle’s face! Ishii and Jericho CHOP in the ring! Keith CLAWS Mark’s face and BITES his forehead! Kyle CHOKES Keith with a wire! Jericho CHOPS Ishii, but Ishii grits his teeth. Jericho CHOPS again, and Ishii doesn’t budge. Jericho CHOPS again, but Ishii CHOPS Jericho down! Bill CHOPS Mark against the railing! Ishii and Jericho go back to trading CHOPS!
Bill stalks Mark, Mark CHOPS and ROCKS him! Dynamite returns to single picture as Mark JAMS Bill with a chair! Jericho CLAWS Ishii’s face, then stomps him to the apron. Ishii rolls away but Jericho soaks up the heat from the fans. But then Mark storms into the ring, armed with a chair! Jericho is worried, but he grabs a chair of his own. They CLASH chairs like swords, and the fans fire up! Jericho is disarmed, and Mark JAMS him up! And SMACKS him on the back! Jericho falls, Keith returns, but Mark JAMS him up! And SMACKS him down! Bill is back to BOOT Jericho! Ishii is in, Bill LARIATS him!

Mark hits Jericho with a POWERBOMB while Ishii SUPERPLEXES Keith! The fans are thunderous, and Keith flops out of the ring. Jericho is alone with Mark and Ishii, but we see Bill and Kyle fighting in the hallways of this arena! Bill BOOTS Kyle to keep him going.
They’ve made a roundabout way back to the arena, and Bill puts Kyle on a road case. Bill CLUBS away on Kyle, then clears a table! Bill brings it a little closer, and the fans are already losing their minds being this close to the action. Bill stands on the case with Kyle, hoists Kyle up, and SKYSCRAPER- NO, Kyle shifts to a GUILLOTINE!! Bill flails, fades, and he FALLS down through the tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! A ref hurries to check those two while Jericho and Mark rise in the ring. Mark eggs Jericho on. This started with them, it has to end with them!

Moxley & The Death Riders return backstage.
They’re storming through and Moxley spots the cameras. He has everyone stop, and says, “Just so there’s no confusion, Orange Cassidy, this kid doesn’t owe you anything. Nothing. Just cuz he slept on your couch years ago, just cuz you spotted him some gas money. He owes you because you were friends? Being a nice guy doesn’t buy loyalty, money doesn’t buy loyalty. Only a cause buys loyalty. He is not your friend. He is not your student. He doesn’t belong to you, Bryan Danielson or anyone else. He is a soldier under my command.
“Darby Allin, I had high hopes for you. Frankly, you are a disappointment. There’s a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to destroy, and a time to build. What season are we in? Well, it’s a little bit of both. Maybe it’s time for y’all to stop playing at the thing you want people to think you take seriously.” The Death Riders exit the building, will their war on AEW be never ending?
Adam Cole VS Malakai Black!
In the race to face MJF at Full Gear, The Panama City Playboy checked off win number one against Buddy Matthews. But now he faces the House of Black’s Dark Father. Their career singles series against each other is 6-0 in Malakai’s favor. Will this be an unlucky number seven for Cole? Or can he finally get that one while going 2-0 in the chase?

Malakai sits up, but he looks to Cole. Is he inviting Cole to do it?! Malakai sits cross legged, and Cole hits THE BOOM!! Cover, Cole wins!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall
It’s hard to say which is bigger: Adam Cole finally beating Malakai Black, or Adam Cole continuing on his path towards MJF and Full Gear. Well, as we’ve seen the past few weeks, Kyle is watching this. Even as Kyle gets his arm checked by a trainer, Kyle nods in approval. Will Kyle quietly support Cole from afar as Cole looks to finally settle things with MJF? Back in the ring, Malakai sits up. Cole says thanks, and offers a handshake. Malakai pushes the hand aside, to hug it out with Cole! The fans cheer the sportsmanship, will Malakai also support Cole in his endeavor for vengeance?
Cole then gets a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” The fans cheer that! Cole says first of all, Malakai Black is one of the very best Cole’s ever fought in his 16 year career. He thanks Malakai for this match. The fans cheer Malakai as he stands on the stage. Cole says there is one more person he needs to talk to, and his name is Max. This is two down, one to go. Roderick Strong still needs to win his two more, and trust Cole when he says this, they’re gonna win those matches. Because Max thinks he put roadblocks in their way, but that’s not the case.
Everyone is surely asking, if Cole gets three wins, and Roddy gets three wins, what happens at Full Gear? Cole says fortunately, he talked to one Tony Khan. And TK said it like this: If, or rather when Cole gets three wins and when Roddy gets three wins, guess what? Full Gear becomes MJF VS Adam Cole AND Roddy Strong in a Triple Threat! Max, trust Cole when he says, MJF gets the ass kicking of a lifetime from The Undisputed Kingdom, baybay! The fans cheer as the odds are no longer in MJF’s favor!
Speaking of, we see MJF losing his cool in his home. He sips wine but that doesn’t calm him down. MJF paces, grabs his phone, and he makes a call. “Yeah. I need you to pay someone a visit.” With that, the call ends. Who did MJF call? And who is this person going to “visit” in order to turn the tables back around?
Backstage interview with Jay White.
Renee is with The Switchblade and brings up the “choice words” Hangman Page had ahead of their match at Full Gear. What is his reaction to the “vile” things Hangman said? White says yeah, Hangman thinks White has no idea what Hangman is capable of. Hangman says he might break White’s ankle, he might burn White’s- HANGMAN CLOBBERS WHITE OUTTA NOWHERE!! Renee can barely get outta there because of her own broken ankle! Hangman fires hands on White, knocks spare ladders over, and they make their way out to the crowd! The fans fire up as this brawl goes to the side of the stage!
Hangman shoves White away, DECKS a security guard, and then takes the guy’s chair! The fans boo but White ROCKS Hangman! White fires more shots, and he KNEES Hangman again and again!

White fights back, Hangman CLUBS him, and he pushes the leg down between barriers! White screams in pain, but Hangman CLUBS away on the leg! Hangman has White caught, and then grabs the chair! But JUICE runs in to take the chair! The fans fire up and Juice dares Hangman to go for him!
White gets free, and he fires hands on Hangman! White sends Hangman into railing, then into the ring! Hangman bails out and runs away. White grabs a mic to tell hangman not to run away again. White would love to know what Hangman was going to do to him at Full Gear. Here’s what White will do to Hangman: He will beat Hangman, he will embarrass Hangman, he will dismantle him, and have fun doing it! The fans will have fun watching White do that! The fans cheer in agreement there. Hangman says he’s gonna leave White behind? Hangman was NEVER ahead of White, and he never will be!
White says at Full Gear, the Hangman will Breathe with the Switchblade once more, and that leg will be Hangman’s downfall! And maybe, just maybe, White will be the first ever to make the Hangman tap out! Hangman doesn’t like that, huh? Well too bad! If he doesn’t like it, then White, Juice, and the Gold Members in Manchester, New Hampshire have two words for ya! GUNS UP! The heat keeps turning up on this one! Will Hangman be the one to burn for it?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee catches the #BornAgainKristen as she enters, and says it is official! Full Gear, AEW TBS Championship, Mercedes Mone VS Kris Statlander. How does it feel to possibly have that title around her waist again? Kris says Mone can’t change the fact that Kris will be the NEW TBS Champion. Renee wishes Kris luck, but then someone almost runs Kris over?! It was Kamille & Mone!! Mone says Kamille MISSED Kris! Is she stupid or just dumb? Never mind, just go out and get her! Kamille does as she’s told, but Kris already had Mone! The CEO wants to hit someone with her car!? Kris picks Mone up but Kamille makes the save!
Kris grabs Kamille then, and SMACKS her off the side of the car! Kamille elbows back, tries to get back in the car, but Kris CLUBS her first! And then SLAMS the door shut on Kamille’s arm!! The Brickhouse falls apart, and Kris SLAMS Mone on the hood! Oh, of course it’s a Mercedes. Security finally rushes in, but the damage has been done. Will Kris make Mone pay for trying some vehicular manslaughter?
The Patriarchy is here!
And there is extra special security here as Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna are about to confront the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, Hook. Christian grabs a mic, and he tells Manchester, “Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business.” The fans boo but Christian is sure we’re wondering about the security detail. Christian just wants a chance to explain himself. So when Hook comes out, this is all for everyone’s protection. First thing’s first, he formally welcomes Kip to the Patriarchy. You might wonder how this came to be after all the cat ‘n’ mouse games these past few months.
And it was that Christian realized Kip was just trying to get his attention. That much like a lot of you, he is a fatherless loser just looking for some guidance. But there was one moment that stood out among all else, and the footage replays: Kip snatching the pen, and then Christian almost running into the Death Riders… Now, people here in Manchester, NH might not understand so he’ll spell it out for them. Kip had the foresight to realize what was happening. If Christian had signed his Casino Gauntlet contract, the Death Riders would interfere to cost Christian the match, and this contract would be gone forever.
Because of Kip Sabian, Christian stands here #AndStill the reigning, defending, undisputed NEXT AEW World Champion. Kip applauds but the fans boo. Christian says in that moment, Kip did more for him than any of his other sons have. Christian says he loves Kip, and the two hug it out. Nick is a bit unsure about this, but here comes Hook! The fans fire up and Hook has a mic of his own. “Whatever it is that you have to say, make it good, and make it fast, cuz I don’t have much patience.” Christian says yes, of course. Never mind the security, let’s just talk. Christian will say it straight: Hook is a wild card.
Hook has those crazy eyes, is a problem, a bull in a China shop, an ass kicker, and what happened here on Dynamite a few weeks ago, don’t mistake it. That wasn’t a beating, that wasn’t an attack. Christian needs a son like Hook. Christian needed to be sure Hook could be disciplined to fall in line. But he also realized that if Hook was going to be Christian’s son, Hook couldn’t have that “other voice” in his ear. That other voice was Taz, so yes, Christian admits to the attack. It was from a place of love and caring, but Christian hit Taz in the knee with a lead pipe. The question now is, Taz saw Christian’s face. Why did Taz not just tell Hook it was Christian?
The answer is simple: Taz realized Christian could take Hook to heights not even Taz could imagine. Hook, your father is a legend in this business. Just as Taz and he’ll tell you. Hook’s father was the face of the “outlaw promotion,” a big fish in a little pond. And what happened when he got to the big stage with the bright lights? He buckled under the pressure! He hung up his boots, put the headset on, and hid behind the announce table. So the question to Hook is: Does he want to be an announcer like his father? Or does he want to be a renowned and revered world champion like The Patriarch himself, Christian Cage?
Christian says he regrets not taking things with Taz just a touch further. As he looks around, it is clear to Christian, no one even cares Taz is alive. The fans boo, but Christian says he needs Hook. In this moment, he’ll tell Hook to his face: Christian wishes Taz was DEAD! The fans boo even harder and Hook seethes. Hook storms right through the security and gets in the ring! Kip runs up, into REDRUM! Christian saves Superbad but he ends up in REDRUM! Nick saves Christian, the special squad gets in, but Hook throws them all around! Hook puts the last guy in REDRUM!! Hook glares at Christian but Christian grins.
The Patriarchy wants to build their deck with this wild card, but is Hook too wild to ever be tamed?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Alex Marvez is with THE scumbag leader of the Don Callis Family and brings up the new tag team of Brian Cage & Lance Archer have simply been dominant. Callis says no more 50-50, they are squashing everyone! Wait, who is this? This man hands Callis an envelope, and a box. Callis looks at the envelope, it has a lot of money in it. And the box has a shiny ring inside. The man then says there is a voice message for Callis. “Hey, Don, it’s The Devil.” MJF wants Callis to take care of a baybay for him. And if he gets that job done, there’s another envelope like that one waiting for him.
And if Callis scratches that ring… Well, let’s just say there are a lot more men in suits that can scratch him up, too. MJF’s messenger leaves, and Callis puts on the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Callis laughs as one devil made a deal with another. Will The Murderhawk Monster & Machine simply be mercenaries for MJF to take out the Undisputed Kingdom?
Jamie Hayter VS Penelope Ford!
It was two years ago that these two teamed up, and while one would become AEW Women’s World Champion, the other would be stuck at home with a severe injury. Hayter feels Ford has made this way too personal for no good reason, but will Ford still have her revenge? Or will she return only to find Hayter still hits hard?
Wait, Ford SHOVES Hayter off the corner during her entrance! The bell rings, fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Ford goes up and up to APRON KNEE DROP! Hayter sputters but Ford mocks her pain. Ford storms in to rain down fists on Hayter’s chest and ribs! The ref counts, Ford lets off, and then run sin. Hayter dodges, Ford gets stuck on ropes! Hayter hauls Ford up for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as now Hayter rains down fists! The ref reprimands, Hayter lets off to say it’s fair given what Ford did. Hayter then has Ford in a corner to CHOP! And CHOP again! Hayter stomps away on Ford, then stops as the ref counts.
Hayter has Ford against ropes for a flurry of forearms! The ref counts, Hayter runs, but Ford runs up to BOOT! Ford drags Hayter up, whips her to a corner, then runs corner to corner. Handspring and BACK ELBOW! Ford then goes side to side, HIGH BOOT WASH! Ford reels Hayter in, snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Ford frowns, then knees on Hayter to choke her! The ref counts, Ford steps off and pretends it was all an accident. Ford drags Hayter up to scuff her, but Hayter fires body shots! Ford BOOTS Hayter down, then drags her up. Hayter fires shots but Ford CLUBS Hayter down. Ford puts Hater on ropes to CHOKE!
The ref counts, Ford mocks the fans and then steps away. Ford drags Hayter up, brings her around, but Hayter JAWBREAKERS! Hayter ROCKS Ford, runs, but Ford KICKS the legs out! Hayter falls into ropes, then Ford SHOTGUNS her in the back! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this but Ford goes to the apron. Ford climbs, soaks up some heat, then MOONSAULT FLOPS! Hayter basement DROPKICKS! Then a suplex, for a BRAINBUSTER! The fans fire up with Hayter and she shrieks! But Ford goes Matrix to avoid the lariat! CUTTER! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and now Ford shrieks in anger!
Ford drags Hayter up while the fans rally. Ford fireman’s carries, then pops her up, but Hayter lands out! Hayter hooks Ford up, HAYTERADE!! Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
That’s right, Hayter hits that hard! Ford’s wrath will not be satisfied, will she just have to let it go? Will Hayter get to go after a championship in time for Full Gear?
Mina Shirakawa is coming!
The Fighting Gravure Idol knows we all want Mina, and so she’ll give us what we want. Wait, did the image go half black ‘n’ white with a QR Code? Could this return be surprisingly timeless?
AEW takes a closer look at Kazuchika Okada,
Jim Ross says The Rainmaker is one of his favorite talents ever. Truck loads of charisma and skill, he’s in the top five of wrestlers in the world. Most people who are knowledgeable have him on that list, and some might even have him as number one, he is that special. Excalibur narrates that Okada has the chance to enter rarified air in pro-wrestling. With FOUR G1 Climax wins already to his name, a win in this year’s Continental Classic could tie him with NJPW legend, “Mr. G1,” Masahiro Chono and his five round robin victories. Okada himself says, “Who is Chono? Chono is not an international star like The Rainmaker!”
Okada says he IS the greatest tournament wrestler in the history of the world! Okada is Japan’s greatest export! The Continental Championship will not only defend his title but his pride as one of the greatest international stars of all time in this year’s Continental Classic. Will Okada’s fifth round robin trophy not be a G1 but a C2?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Given what they’ve done to Orange Cassidy, the Death Riders will now have to answer to The Conglomeration, with the AEW World Trios Championships on the line! Will Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii take away these titles before Cassidy becomes a Freshly Squeezed AEW World Champion? Or will Pac, Claudio & Yuta take away the only friends Cassidy has left?
Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Ricochet & ???
The Don Callis Family has taken a lot from Will Ospreay. The Alpha took the International Championship for his own while The Protostar took Ospreay’s trust and broke it. But neither of them expected The One & Only to step up to them both. Ricochet wants to take down Takeshita for taking that title, but who did he find to join him? Ricochet makes his entrance, mic in hand, and he has everyone hold on. Ricochet says “you two morons” made a mistake saying Ricochet could choose anyone in AEW as a partner.
Ricochet did some research, a little bit of digging, and he found that as of October 4th of this year, a certain someone’s contract with the Don Callis Family has… expired. See, this man is upset because he feels The Don Callis Family just forgot about him. Allow Ricochet to introduced his really pissed off partner, “P-P-P-P-POWERHOUSE.” The fans go wild seeing Will Hobbs return! Not the Will that Kyle was calling out, but one he should’ve been concerned about! Ricochet & Hobbs run in, the bell rings, and the brawl is on! Hobbs is after Kyle while Ricochet is after Konosuke and the ref wants this to sort out!
Ricochet and Konosuke fall out of the ring, then Konosuke SHOVES Ricochet into the commentary desk! Hobbs and Kyle still fight in the ring, but Konosuke slides in. The Callis Family whip Hobbs, but he comes back to CLOBBER them both! The fans fire up as Hobbs paces. Hobbs & Ricochet then pursue the Callis Family to the ramp. Ricochet BOOTS Konosuke while Hobbs sends Kyle into railing! Ricochet drags Konosuke up, UPPERCUTS him, and Hobbs sends Kyle into more railing! Ricochet sends Konosuke into railing, and the fans fire up. Hobbs whips Kyle into even more railing! Ricochet CHOPS Konosuke, but Konosuke gets mad.
Ricochet CHOPS, and CHPOS, but Konosuke DECKS him! Hobbs beats up on Kyle some more, then goes after Konosuke. Konosuke is down holding an ankle but Hobbs stomps him. Ricochet rolls into the ring while Hobbs throws hands on Konosuke. Hobbs joins Ricochet, and Ricochet climbs to hop onto Hobbs’ shoulders! The fans fire up as they balance, and then Ricochet ARIHARA MOONSAULTS onto The Callis Family! The fans are thunderous, and Ricochet feeds Kyle to Hobbs. Hobbs paces while Kyle shakes out the cobwebs. Hobbs hauls Kyle, says “I’m back~!” and he suplexes. Stall and SLAM at five!
Kyle writhes in pain but Hobbs points to Ricochet. The fans cheer, and Hobbs tags Ricochet in. They double whip Kyle, to then DOUBLE- Well, no, Hobbs CLOBBERS Kyle and Ricochet cheers and flexes. Ricochet is already having too much fun here, and he covers Kyle, ONE! Ricochet gets the fans fired up again as he goes corner to corner, but Kyle puts him on the apron. Ricochet ROCKS Kyle, BOOTS Konosuke, then RAMS Kyle, but Kyle has Ricochet by the head! DRAPING DDT! Konosuke runs up to sucker punch Hobbs! Hobbs doesn’t even budge! The ref stops Hobbs from storming in but that lets The Callis Family double GOURD BUSTER!
Then Konosuke & Kyle run, to BOOT SANDWICH Ricochet down! The fans boo again while Kyle flexes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Kyle tags Konosuke and Konosuke drags Ricochet up. Konosuke suplexes, for a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet is tougher than that, but Konosuke clamps on with a chinlock. Ricochet endures, Hobbs rallies Manchester, but Konosuke wrenches Ricochet’s arm. Tag to Kyle, the Callis Family mugs Ricochet, and Kyle taunts Hobbs. The ref has to again stop Hobbs, and Kyle ELBOWS Ricochet in the head. Cover, TWO! Kyle clamps onto Ricochet with a headlock and grinds him down. Ricochet endures, fights around, and stands back up. Ricochet fires body shots, then forearms, then a CHOP! Ricochet whips, Kyle reverses, and Ricochet hits buckles hard!
Ricochet falls back, but Kyle rains down fists! The ref reprimands, Hobbs storms in and he kicks Kyle off Ricochet. The ref stops Hobbs from doing more, and Kyle tags in Konosuke. Konosuke stands on Ricochet’s face while soaking up heat, but steps off as the ref counts. Konosuke ROCKS Ricochet to a corner, then whips him corner to corner hard! Ricochet falls in a heap, and Konosuke saunters over. Konosuke then goes up the corner, taunts the fans, and SUPER SENTONS! Direct hit! Cover, TWO! Ricochet stays in this, but Konosuke drags him up. Konosuke snapmares Ricochet into a chinlock, and he grinds Ricochet into the mat.
Ricochet endures, the fans rally up, and Ricochet fights to his feet. Ricochet fires body shots, then ROCKS Konosuke with a forearm! Ricochet runs, but into an ELBOW from Konosuke! Dynamite returns to single picture as Konosuke soaks up more heat. The fans rally, Adam Cole is watching now that we all know MJF hired The Don Callis Family. Konosuke shoves Ricochet to a corner, but Ricochet ELBOWS Kyle down! Konosuke runs in, Ricochet dodges, but Konosuke keeps Ricochet back. Ricochet fires elbows to fight the lift, but Konosuke shoves him away again. Ricochet handsprings to BACK ELBOW!

But Kyle isn’t done! He SMACKS Hobbs with a chair! Ricochet doesn’t realize it until Kyle is in! SMACK to Ricochet! And SMACK again! Kyle chucks the chair away, stands over Ricochet, and he drags Ricochet up. BUT WAIT! Mark Davis is back! Dunkzilla has been trying to use words, but now he has to use physicality! He pushes Kyle back off of Ricochet, then tries to bring him out of the ring, but Kyle pushes Mark. Kyle isn’t playing this game! Mark is up in Kyle’s business and he ain’t having it! Kyle shoves Mark, so Mark SHOVES Kyle down! Mark throws off his jacket to tell Kyle that if he has to beat some sense into Kyle- LANCE ARCHER ATTACKS!

Archer grabs Mark, but Mark ENZIGIRIS him, too! Hobbs gives Archer a SPINEBUSTER! Ricochet V-TRIGGERS Kyle, and then Ospreay give- NO, Kyle scrambles away! Kyle sensed it coming and avoids Hidden Blade! The traitorous Aussie Arrow can run but he can’t hide, will he have no choice but to answer for what he’s done?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, lots of great moves that were expected and a lot unexpected, but also some moves that were unexpected yet not so great. Great promo to open the show, and I figured Swerve would show up. Swerve VS Lashley for Full Gear is of course where this was going, so I appreciate Swerve not dragging it out with a big speech. Two weeks until the PPV, we’ll get plenty of that from MVP before the match anyway. Great match from Cassidy & Darby VS Claudio & Pac, and honestly, what a great way to disqualify the match in Marina just booting the ref. Also WOW, Darby being thrown at a post… I hope he’s okay, haven’t heard anything otherwise.
And the beatdown on Cassidy was a good segue to get Conglomeration out there and then have their match with Jericho’s team. Great stuff being it was a Fight Without Honor. I’m more surprised there was no blood like there was in Ladder War. But multiple table spots was a big hit with Manchester, especially that one with Kyle and Bill. Mark not winning with the Froggy-Bow going through a table was a bit booty, though. Yes, last week teased Jericho VS Ishii, but why false finish us like that then? At the same time, Death Riders VS Conglomeration for the trios titles will be some great stuff, but I feel like Jericho’s gonna disqualify that match since he and Ishii are going to battle over the ROH World Championship.
Jay White had a great promo that turned into a brawl with Hangman, that then turned back into a promo. I almost thought White would add a stipulation to their match but whatever, they’ll still have a great one under normal rules. It could go either way, but it feels like Hangman cheats to win and this forces the feud to continue. Very good video package and promo for Okada ahead of the Continental Classic, can’t wait to see his run in that tournament, and who else will be in it with him.
Very good promo from Christian Cage to help explain the Kip Sabian turn, but the rest was just his long version of “It was ME, Austin! It was me all along!” And Christian of course uses a combination of “dead” and “dad” in his promo to piss Hook off, and Hook of course stood tall taking out truly faceless goons. I did appreciate Nick’s reaction to being on the other end of the favoritism scale, and there’s half a chance Nick turns on Christian over this Kip stuff. That would help Hook get one over on a former world champion, and in a roundabout way, Hook can say that if Christian does become champion, then Hook is owed the next shot.
Speaking of Superbad, good match from Mrs. Superbad and Hayter, but it was rather quick, and of course Hayter won. Maybe Hayter gets a match with Mariah May at Full Gear, but I did like that the Mina Shirakawa hype video has a Toni Storm tease in it now. And really good stuff with Kris, Kamille & Mone. Been a minute since someone tried to hit someone else with a car, and then Kris got to hit the car with Mone. This isn’t the go-home moment but it already feels like Kris is going to lose to Mone, even after taking out Kamille with the car door.
Cole VS Malakai was great, though the fans did seem torn like they were with Cole VS Buddy. As I said with that match, Malakai also deserves to be doing something more than being fed to another story, but still. What is unexpected and disappointing is that TK has decided to overthink this story with MJF. Instead of MJF pitting Cole and Roddy against each other in round 3, he wastes money paying Don Callis to have one of his guys lose. At least, that is if the Triple Threat teased is the plan now. It just doesn’t sit right, mostly because my idea is a much better way for MJF to mess with Cole.
Ricochet bringing Hobbs back was awesome stuff, and we got an awesome match with them, Konosuke & Kyle. Great win for Ricochet on Konosuke, so there’s all we need for an International Championship match at Full Gear. Again, Cole VS Konosuke just seems wrong when Brian Cage or Lance Archer are also available and can totally take losses for the sake of story. But it was great to see Mark Davis AND Will Ospreay here, too. There’s at least a Six Man Tag right there of Kyle, Cage & Archer VS Ospreay, Ricochet & Hobbs for next week while Cole VS Takeshita happens. But even without that, Kyle VS Ospreay has to be happening at Full Gear, and could go either way with how Kyle really is being built as a star.
My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
An ambulance pulls up to the Frontwave Arena?!
The doors open, and it’s COPE! Adam Copeland tells The Death Riders, “I just wanted to show you your ride tonight. See you soon.” Are things about to get Rated R here in San Diego?
MJF speaks.
“We’re going to get rid of the biggest mistake in my life. You, the fans, are why the mystery has been drained from my art, my sport, my passion. You overanalyze my craft as if you are informed enough to even know what to look for. Based on who you cheer, you clearly don’t. I’ve watched on as hypocrites cheer on Cowboy S*it at a faker, a phony, a pretender, when I am right here, literally giving you an arm and a leg! Now I’m truly going to bet on myself. You people are spoiled, you’re part of a generation that got to watch the best to ever do it in real-time, and you people chose him? I used to believe in three letters.
“Now there’s only three letters that matter to me. Not AEW. Not F-A-N. But M J F!” That’s right, he is at a laser tattoo removal parlor. MJF no longer cares about anyone or anything but himself, will nothing stop him from taking over?
Hangman Page just now arrives?
He stuck longhorns on his Rivian R1T truck, but that’s The Cowboy! Hangman parks, storms into the arena, and spooks a few as he heads for gorilla. The fans fire up as he makes his entrance, and he’s not even getting changed before his match? Is he planning on making this one quick?
Hangman Page VS Aaron Solo!
The bell rings, and Hangman BOOTS Solo down! Hangman fires haymakers in the corner, sits Solo down, but stops as the ref counts 4. The fans fire up and Hangman headlocks Solo. Hangman scrapes Solo’s face off the ropes, then whips him. Solo ducks ‘n’ dodges, escapes a scoop, and he DREAMCAST KICKS! Solo reels Hangman in, Hangman wrenches free, but Solo avoids the short arm lariat! Only for the LARIAT to find him on the return! Hangman then goes to the apron, takes aim, and slingshots for the BUCKSHOT! Cover, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
Yep, that was quick! But Hangman isn’t done as he grabs a chair and a mic! Hangman storms into the ring with both, but he lets Solo get away. Hangman says, “There are three things that I hate in this world, and it’s running out of biscuits, English ivy, and when a little b*tch with a leaking spray tan spits in my face!” The fans know what Hangman means by that. Hangman takes a seat and says he is going to stay right here until someone finds him Maxwell Jacob Friedman, drag him to this ring, and Hangman gives him the ass beating of a lifetime! The fans fire up for Hangman, but here comes MJF!
The fans are torn as The Devil arrives in the arena, and he’s wiping blood off his hands…? MJF has them cut his music while he stays on stage. Hangman tells MJF to get in the ring, but MJF says, “Wow, Hangman. You wanna fight me right now in front of all these people? Dude, are you nuts? I mean look at you! You’re an animal, man! A ruthless killer devoid of any and all emotion! You’re heartless, dude! I’m not fighting you right now! No, no. Look, I don’t even know if I have a prayer on…” MJF checks the tron advertising it: Sunday, March 9th, Revolution in LA. MJF is worried!
In fact, he is going to go home to the most magical place on Earth, Long Island, New York… And MJF is going to train his tukus off for the match. MJF goes to leave, but then he realizes. “Silly me, I totally forgot why I came out here. I’m awfully worried about your friend, Hangman. You should probably check on him. I guess now’s the part where we find out whose actually real!” MJF drops his mic, Hangman stands up, and then MJF leaves. What is he talking about? Cameras find CHFRISTOPHER DANIELS down and bloodied in the back! The Devil of AEW attacked the Fallen Angel, all to get under Hangman’s skin!
Hangman takes his chair, heads out of the ring, and he storms his way to the back! Hangman looks around, shouts for where MJF went, keeps storming around backstage, but he finds Daniels first. Hangman tells medics to check Daniels already. The medics step in to stop the bleeding on Daniels’ forehead and Hangman continues hunting MJF. Has MJF finally gone too far?
The Don Callis Family is up in the skybox.
The fans boo as Callis gets VIP treatment for himself and Kyle Fletcher, because they’re getting ready to watch what’s in store for tonight. Callis is trying to stack the deck in Kyle’s favor, but will Bryan Keith be able to collect the bounty on Will Ospreay? Or will the Aerial Assassin take the Bounty Hunter down first?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
It was earlier tonight that Renee Paquette knocked on the door, the Learning Tree answered, and Renee congratulated him on the big win last Saturday Night Collision, where Jericho successfully defended his ROH World Championship in an instant classic against Bandido. But she was wondering- No, no, he knows what she’s here for. Of course she wanted to congratulate him on what many are calling the greatest main event in the history of Collision. But she must really be here to apologize to him for how she treated him last week, right? Yes, and she was also wondering how this match between Will Ospreay and Bryan Keith came together.
Oh, Jericho’s glad she asked. And out stepped Don Callis! Callis said “The Greatest Of All Time” Chris Jericho assured him that tonight, Jericho has the solution to Callis’s problem. Sometimes, we must outsource in this society. Callis tried to handle things with Ospreay “in house,” he gave that opportunity to someone in the Family, but that someone dropped the ball. Mark Davis was standing right there… But Callis said Ospreay is a degenerate piece of garbage, so he needed someone who is used to dealing with degenerate pieces of garbage, like a bounty hunter! Jericho said at this stage of his career, he doesn’t have to help anyone, he chooses to help.
And so he chose to help Bryan Keith. In Jericho’s experience, bigger isn’t necessarily better. But Bryan Keith IS better!

The Death Riders speak.
Jon Moxley says, “If Adam Copeland wanted me alone, if Adam Copeland wanted me one-on-one, just the two of us, he could’ve picked any room in any building, behind any locked door, any alley in North America. All you had to do was ask, man. But I can appreciate that somebody put their money where their mouth was. I can appreciate that somebody is actually playing for keeps.” Claudio Castagnoli says, “Don’t even get me started. I didn’t pay attention for one minute, and Cope… My hat’s off to you. But this is not you hunting us. No, no, no, no. Now, it is me hunting you.” The Swiss Cyborg wants his fight with the Rated R Superstar, will he make sure Cope doesn’t make it to LA?
Swerve Strickland is here!
San Diego is now “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” as Prince Nana accompanies The Realest out to the ring, and Nana has a clipboard in hand. They go to the ring, and Swerve grabs a mic. He says he can’t hear them loud enough! The fans cheer, and Swerve says they know this is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” And that’s exactly what Swerve made AEW the moment he stepped through the doors almost three years ago at Revolution! Swerve looked Tony Schiavone dead in the eyes, and he said he’d win AEW gold. Schiavone confirms he sure did. Then it is fitting that AEW wraps Black History Month, because Swerve made Black History!
The fans cheer, and the chant starts again, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says that’s right! Night in, night out, he not only defended the AEW World Championship, he showcased it to the world! Right up to the biggest stage in professional wrestling, AEW All In: London. Swerve is no one hit wonder, but Nana here was right two weeks ago. The world title has not been Swerve’s focus for far too long. Make no mistake, Swerve is still the man around here. Swerve is still the best in the world, and he needs gold around his waist. In order for that to happen, he must right some wrongs around here.
And first on the list is a bald-headed, glasses wearing idiot walking around with something that doesn’t belong to him! That man is Ricochet. Swerve brings up Ricochet claiming they’re done, and that Ricochet is on to bigger and better things. No, no, no. They’re done with Swerve says they’re done! You think a low blow victory- Wait, Ricochet interrupts. Ricochet wears the robe, but he’s added a backwards baseball cap. Ricochet uses Mone’s favorite phrase, “Are you stupid or are you dumb?” Because Ricochet just said, it doesn’t matter what anyone says, Ricochet is DONE with Swerve! Swerve had his chance, but Ricochet won.
And winners don’t chase losers. And yeah, Ricochet gets no one here understands that feeling, since the San Diego Padres suck ass! Even the Chargers left this broke ass town! What Ricochet is chasing is gold. What Ricochet is chasing is to be something Swerve will never again be: AEW World Champion. Ricochet turns that hat around to reveal it’s a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl hat! So no, Swerve, Ricochet will not be facing him. Not tonight, not again, not ever. Thanks but no thanks. Next time you see Ricochet, he will have gold around his waist, and he’s not talking Louis Vuitton. Fans tell Ricochet to STFU as he laughs it up.
Nana tells Ricochet to hold on and listen. Nana has an offer that Ricochet might want to consider. Nana talked with Tony Khan, and TK agrees with Swerve: the fans deserve a rematch! All Ricochet has to do is accept it. And TK also said that whoever wins this rematch… will be #1 contender to the AEW World Championship!! So what does Ricochet say to that? Dammit, Nana. Ricochet gives him credit, that is good. So all Ricochet has to do is whoop Swerve’s ass one more time, and then his ticket is punched to being AEW World Champion? Can he get an “AHA~!” because CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
But no, Ricochet looks too damn good right now, they ain’t doing this tonight. Ricochet can see in this crowd that collectively, they don’t have the money to pay his fee! So what happens is, this happens in a real California city. What they’re gonna do is they do this in the City of Angels! This happens at Revolution! Ricochet VS Swerve, one more time, baby~! The One & Only taunts The Realest on his way out, but who will be be #1 contender? Nana has Swerve hold on, they have business of their own first. Swerve asks what this is about, and Nana says he is proud of Swerve. Nana is glad Swerve is taking the steps to go for the world title. That is what the fans want! That is what Nana wants!
But most importantly, Nana wants Swerve to go back to who the fans say he is. Be the man Swerve says he is! Hell, be the man that Nana says Swerve is: THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AEW! But Swerve needs to understand, Nana took a lot of bullets for him. Hangman Page, Sting, The Hurt Syndicate, Ricochet. To see Ricochet in Nana’s robe, something that means so much to him and this business, Nana needs Swerve to fix this and get the robe back. Or else, Nana doesn’t know if he can do this anymore. What? Nana takes his leave, but if the gamble doesn’t pay off, will he leave Swerve behind?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee catches The Cowboy on his way out, wanting to talk about earlier tonight. Hangman says that MJF is gone, he left. Hangman turns to go, but then turns back to tell Max, “When I find you, and I will, if I do not run you over, you will wish that I had.” The Cowboy goes back to his longhorn R1T, will he mangle Maxwell Jacob Friedman one way or another?

But that’s because he, Jay White & Willow Nightingale are seeing Claudio and Marina off to the hospital! They wave bye, and the ambulance drives off. Cope, White & Willow feel good about the work they’ve done tonight, but will they manage to demolish The Decoder before Revolution arrives? Or will Yuta be promoted from pawn to ace in the hole for the “One True King” of AEW?
AEW International Championship: Konosuke Takeshita w/ The Don Callis Family VS Orange Cassidy!
The Revolution International Championship Series continues as The Don Callis Family’s Alpha defends this title against the man who put this title on the map. But no matter who wins, Kenny Omega is waiting at Revolution! Who books a dream match with the Best Bout Machine?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the best International Champion to date!
Callis of course joins commentary with Mark Davis as his personal bodyguard, but fans still tell Callis off. The bell rings, Cassidy and Konosuke step up, and San Diego cheers on “Freshly Squeezed! Freshly Squeezed!” But Konosuke takes the sunglasses?! Konosuke looks at them, and then SNAPS them! He even bites the frame before throwing it away! Cassidy pulls out his spares! The fans cheer, Konosuke takes a swing but Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges! Konosuke runs Cassidy over, then steps on Cassidy’s neck! Konosuke takes the spares, and he hands them to Callis! Callis tries on the new shades and smiles while the fans boo.
Cassidy runs up on Konosuke, sunset flips, but Konosuke YANKS Cassidy up! Konosuke whips, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges to arm-drag! Then he gets around Konosuke, but Konosuke fights the roll-up! Cassidy avoids the stomp, waistlocks again, but Konosuke bucks the O’Conner! But Cassidy avoids the Power Drive Knee! Cassidy ORANGE- NO, Konosuke goes Matrix to avoid the Orange Punch! The fans cheer this standoff and Konosuke grins. Cassidy stays cool, then steps back to Konosuke. Konosuke dares him to take a shot now, so Cassidy “chops!” The fans go nuts as Cassidy “chops” again!
Konosuke is already annoyed so he grabs Cassidy by the neck! Konosuke winds up, Cassidy dodges, and then Cassidy winds up, to “Alpha Elbow!” The fans go nuts again! Konosuke BOOTS Cassidy down! Cassidy gets up to SUPERKICK! And then SHOTGUN! Konosuke hits buckles, Cassidy storms up to “unleash” kicks! Then he stomps a mudhole in! Konosuke still snarls, blocks a shot, and then SHOVES Cassidy down! Cassidy comes back, is put on the apron, but he blocks a haymaker. Konosuke CLAWS Cassidy’s eyes! Konosuke suplexes, but Cassidy fights it! Cassidy fires body shots, but Konosuke CLUBS away on him!
Konosuke suplexes again, but Cassidy still fights it! Konosuke CLUBS away on Cassidy again, CLAWS the eyes, but the ref backs him down. Callis complains but rules are rules. Konosuke storms back up, but Cassidy RAMS into him! Cassidy slingshots for a TORNADO DDT! And a kip up! The fans fire up while Callis gets angrier. But Konosuke is right back up!? ALPHA ELBOW!! Cassidy is in a daze while Konosuke looms over him, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Konosuke stalks Cassidy to the ropes, drags him up, and then Dynamite goes to break. Dynamite returns and is still in picture in picture, and Konosuke still stalks Cassidy to ropes. Konosuke drags Cassidy up, whips him corner to corner hard, and Cassidy falls in a heap. Konosuke stands him up just to THROW him into buckles! Cassidy falls again, but he drags himself up. Cassidy feeds off the energy from the fans, but Konosuke is right on him. Dynamite returns to single picture now, and Konosuke whips Cassidy corner to corner. Cassidy goes up and over, then bumps Konosuke off buckles! Cassidy goes side to side to bump Konosuke off more buckles!
Cassidy goes back the other way, but Konosuke stops the buckle bump! But then Cassidy stomps the buckle bump to buckle bump Konosuke! The fans fire up and Cassidy climbs, FLYING ELBOW! The fans fire up and Cassidy keeps moving! He ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Konosuke LARIATS him down! Konosuke scowls, drags Cassidy back up, and Callis says this is physics: Konosuke is just too big and strong compared to Cassidy! Konosuke fires forearms on Cassidy in a corner, sits him down just to drag him up, and he reels Cassidy in. BLUE THUNDER- NO, Cassidy fights that, then fires elbows! Cassidy has Konosuke on his knees!
Cassidy runs, but Konosuke reels him in! BLUE- NO, Cassidy slips out the back! Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls, but Konosuke stops that! Konosuke suplexes, then he stops Stun Dog Millionaire! BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!! Orange survives Blue Thunder and San Diego is losing their minds! Konosuke goes to a corner, takes aim, and Cassidy sits up into the POWER DRIVE- NO, Cassidy falls over! Konosuke stops short, then deadlifts Cassidy! Cassidy slips free and wants the Alabama Lift! Konosuke fights that and lifts Cassidy! But Cassidy fires hands, and he RANAS Konosuke and himself to the floor!
Callis is frustrated, he gets off commentary, but the ref stops him in his tracks! The fans cheer Bryce Remsberg, but then Konosuke ROCKS Cassidy! Cassidy leans against the desk, but he shoves the hood away! Cassidy crawls onto the desk, then eggs Konosuke on! Konosuke DECKS Cassidy, but Cassidy is still egging Konosuke on? Konosuke fires another forearm, but Cassidy just sits back up. Cassidy raises his hands, to put them in his pockets! But Konosuke gets right on the desk and hauls Cassidy up! But Cassidy turns that around, BEACH BREAKER on the desk!! The desk does NOT break, but maybe Konosuke and Cassidy just did!
Cassidy crawls away from Konosuke, the fans lose their minds, but this won’t help win the title! Champion’s Advantage means this has to end in the ring! The ref has a count of 8! 9! Cassidy and Konosuke JUMP in at 9.99!! ORANGE PUNCH!!! And Konosuke tumbles back out! Cassidy DIVES to TORNADO DDT to the floor!! The fans are thunderous, Callis is furious, but Cassidy takes his sunglasses back! The fans fire up as Cassidy puts those back on, then climbs a corner! Konosuke stands, into DEEP- ALPHA ELBOW!!! Konosuke suplexes, STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE!!! Cassidy throws off his elbow pad!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Callis is all fired up as Konosuke makes it through Cassidy! Callis says he hopes Kenny was watching that, because this is what he has in store for Revolution! Will nothing stop The Alpha from becoming THE greatest in AEW?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite, lots of progress made towards Revolution and even some other stories. Cope showing up in the ambulance was a nice touch given how tonight went. Great brawl of Cope and Claudio that of course brought in the other Death Riders. Kudos to Marina for taking the busaiku knee, and nice touch letting Willow hit the con-chair-to. I still expected a little more for Willow in this, but maybe Willow and Marina have a match after Revolution, as I feel the Death Riders story won’t end, even if they lose their titles. But with Yuta as Moxley’s last line of defense, I feel like the Death Riders should lay low and just stay away from Collision. Then they can have a go-home segment that sees Cope take out Yuta after all.
Hangman of course squashes Aaron Solo, but the main point was the promos from him and MJF. I cannot believe MJF is getting rid of that leg tattoo he got while a Face. At the same time, it was so weird that he got it in the first place. But I absolutely knew he would go after Daniels just to anger Hangman. Very good segment from Mercedes with Momo and Billie Starkz. A little surprising it’s Billie showing up on AEW TV, but I suppose it wouldn’t work if it was a champion from ROH because both Athena and Red Velvet are Heels, and Billie is a younger star Mone can still look down on. But Momo having Mone on the run obviously points to Mone retaining at Revolution. It’s why I was hoping she’d go for the NJPW Strong Women’s title instead but whatever.
Harley had a great match with Deonna, and a great win with a finisher rather than a quick pin. Harley will have to wait on a title match but maybe Taya comes for revenge in the meantime. Great promo from Swerve, Nana and Ricochet to up the ante for the rematch. It’s to name a #1 contender, it’s for the robe, and it’s to see if Swerve & Nana stick together. Swerve and Ricochet will definitely put on an instant classic, and it could really go either way given the AEW World Championship could still go either way. We also have to remember, Christian Cage is still able to cash-in, so he could take the title off Mox or Cope, and it’d be some good use of continuity from when Christian teamed with Swerve.
Great tag team match from Outrunners VS Murder Machines, and I like how Hurt Syndicate screwed over Cage & Archer. It protected them while still giving Outrunners the title match, and I’m pretty sure Outrunners lose anyway. Then Hurt Syndicate VS Murder Machines can happen later for big meaty men slapping meat. Great trios match for Undisputed Kingdom VS Garcia & FTR, and a great win for Cole on Garcia. But I guess somehow Garcia VS Cole isn’t big enough for Revolution? or is Garcia VS Cole on Collision just a poor attempt at countering Elimination Chamber this Saturday?
More good stuff from the Don Callis Family as Callis and Jericho seem to make amends over common enemies. The irony of Callis setting up Jericho VS Ospreay and now he’s kinda flipping it around. But the order of giving us this promo after seeing Callis in the skybox was a little odd, I feel like it flows better the other way around. Anyway, Ospreay VS Keith was awesome, perhaps Keith’s best match in AEW, but of course Ospreay won that. No money, kayfabe or otherwise, was changing hands and Ospreay was going to be rolling towards Revolution. Ospreay and Kyle had a great brawl, their match is going to be a show stealer.
And of course, we got an awesome main event from Konosuke VS Cassidy for the title. But given how Omega called out Konosuke in the first place, obviously Konosuke was going to win. Omega VS Konosuke will be an instant classic, and I would think Omega wins, mostly for his revenge on Konosuke and the Callis Family. Plus, Omega becomes AEW’s first Grand Slam Champion, having been world champ, trios champ, tag champ, and now a midcard champ with the International Championship.
My Score: 9.1/10

A little blonde girl. A little blonde girl from Australia. Yes, a little blonde girl from Australia with big… dreams. She loved to sing, she loved to dance, and she loved puppets. But more than anything, she loved WRESTLING! Every single week, that little girl would sit with her grandmother and watch TV.
The little girl would turn to her grandmother and asks, “Grandmama… One day, I will go to America! One day, I will become a wrestler! One day, I will make you proud, my country proud, and myself proud!” The fans cheer that! Harley asks Lexy if she knows who that little girl was. Who who who? That little girl… was her neighbor, Suzette Dickinson. The fans cheer for “Suzette! Suzette!” Harley doesn’t know what happened to Suzette, but Harley took that dream and she ran with it! And now, Grand Slam: Australia was only the beginning! Harley will NOT stop! In fact, she won’t stop until every single person knows what it feels like to FEEL THE WRATH!!
The fans are all fired up for Harley as she throws her jacket around, then she hugs Lexy! Harley is more than ready to try again, when and where will she have her time to shine?

Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kyle Fletcher.
Lexy Nair is with the head of the family and his Protostar to bring up Grand Slam. Kyle stops her there, and says she must want to talk about he got booed in his home country, right? No, she was going to say how- How he had a fantastic showing but didn’t quite the job done? No…! She was going to say that we saw Ospreay challenge Kyle to a Steel Cage match for Revolution. Oh, that’s what she wants, huh? An answer to the challenge? Y-Yes… Callis says hold on, how about we talk about what the Family wants first. Callis wants Lexy and AEW to stop gaslighting them with these questions! Stop trying to get them in trouble!
Lexy is trying to get in Kyle’s head! That is not a place Lexy nor Ospreay want to be. Ospreay, as talented as you are, you are equally mentally deficient to think that for one second it is in your best interest to get inside a cage with a man who tried to cripple you and take you out of pro-wrestling! A man who is 6’4″, 235 pounds! A man who is bigger, stronger, and faster than Ospreay! They will use the steel cage like a veg-o-matic on Ospreay’s face! How is that for gaslighting? Callis needs therapy now after this interview. Kyle tells Ospreay that all he has done for years is take, take, and take from Kyle! At Revolution, it ends!
Ospreay wants Kyle in the cage? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! The Aussie Arrow and the Aerial Assassin will go around one more time, but who will survive inside the steel?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!
The Princess of the Dark Throne steps up for the Hounds of Hell, but she’s up against the One True African Queen! Both are chasing the crown, who will take one step closer to that moment?
The bell rings, the fans cheer, and the two stare down. Julia and Aminata step up, circle, and tie up. Julia headlocks, grinds the hold, but Aminata slips out the back. Aminata steps over, gives the twerk attack, then wrenches. Julia rolls, wrenches, and YANKS the arm! And YANKS, and YANKS! Julia wristlocks but Aminata slips through, spins Julia around, then hits a headlock takeover. Aminata grinds Julia down, the fans rally, and Julia rolls to a cover! TWO!! Aminata escapes just in time, and the two reset. The fans duel, the two tie up again, and Aminata waistlocks. Julia victory rolls, TWO!
Aminata slips around Julia, snapmares her, and KICKS her in the back! Aminata runs, PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up and Julia sputters. Aminata whips Julia to a corner, then runs up to ROCK her! Aminata DOUBLE CHOPS, the fans “WOO~!” and Aminata says hold on, one more time. But Julia dodges to CHOP, CHOP, and ROCK Aminata! Julia whips corner to corner, LARIATS, then runs side to side for an ELBOW! Julia wrenches Aminata and THROWS her down! Julia DRIBBLES Aminata off the mat, then lets off as the ref counts. Cover, ONE!! Aminata is tougher than that, but Julia CLUBS her while Collision goes picture in picture.
Julia CLUBS away on Aminata more, but Aminata fires body shots. Julia KNEES low, CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on with a chinlock. Aminata endures, fights around, but Julia keeps her grounded. Aminata fights up, fires body shots, and she rolls Julia up! TWO, but Aminata reels Julia in! FISHERMAN- NO, Julia fires body shots! Julia snap suplexes, then covers, TWO! Julia puts Aminata on ropes to CHOKE her! The ref counts, Julia lets off, and she kicks Aminata out of the ring. Julia waits while Aminata catches her breath and the ring count climbs. Aminata storms up but so does Julia, so Aminata backs up.
The ref has Julia stay back so Aminata can get in. Aminata rolls in, but Julia kicks her low! Julia CLUBS away, then fires a flurry of forearms! Aminata ROCKS Julia back! And ROCKS her again! The forearms go back and forth, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Aminata kicks low but Julia ROCKS her in return! Julia runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Aminata brings Julia back up, snap suplexes, and then she storms up to BOOT Julia! Julia wobbles, Aminata snap suplexes again! The fans fire up as Aminata brings Julia up again. Snap suplex number three! The fans cheer, Aminata brings Julia up again, and then FISHERMAN SCREWS! The fans rally up, Aminata feeds off that energy, and she sees Julia in the corner. Aminata runs side to side, BOOT WASH! Aminata drags Julia to the cover, TWO!! Julia survives but Aminata is rather amused.
Aminata covers again, TWO! Aminata drags Julia to a high stack, TWO!! Aminata is getting annoyed now, and she Alabama Lifts, only for Julia to sunset flip! TWO, and Julia SUPERKICKS! Aminata wobbles, Julia runs, and Julia FLYING FOREARMS! Cover, TWO! Julia keeps Aminata down, drags her to a drop zone, and she stomps away! Julia goes up the corner, for a MOONSAULT into boots! Aminata has Julia for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Julia sits up, Aminata has her again, GERMAN SUPLEX! Aminata looms over Julia, but Julia rises again. Aminata grins and says one more. GERMAN- NO, Julia fights by hooking legs!
Julia fires elbows again and again, then runs, but into a scoop! Julia tilt-o-whirls through for an IRON OCTOPUS! Aminata TAPS, Julia wins!
Winner: Julia Hart, by submission
Julia endured all that damage and found a way to drag Aminata down! Will the Hart always win in AEW?
Brian Cage & Lance Archer VS ???
The Murder Machines have called out the Hurt Syndicate for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but wait, they’re dragging their opponents out to the ring! Brian Cage RAMS into ? over and over in the corner, and Archer LARIATS ? in the corner! Archer runs corner to corner to ELBOW him! And then he runs to ELBOW him again! The fans fire up while Cage stomps away his guy out of the ring. Archer puts the guy in red up top, then lifts him for the BLACKOUT BOMB! Cage gets his guy in blue for the DEADLIFT SUPERPLEX! And then Cage deadlifts that guy just so he and Archer can BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO!
That’s not the end, though! Cage lifts the guy in red, Archer adds his choke grip, MURDER BOMB!! High stack, Murder Machines win!
Winners: Brian Cage
Cage grabs a mic to call out the Hurt Syndicate again! They like to hurt people? Well, hopefully they enjoyed watching that as much as Cage & Archer enjoyed doing that! Because this is what the Murder Machines will do to the Syndicate! Archer says they’re just getting started! They’ll do this anywhere and anytime! Because in the end, #EverybodyDies! Wait, here comes the Hurt Syndicate! Montel Vontavious Porter leads the way for Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, and he has a mic to say, “Pardon me, perhaps my designer shades are obstructing my vision, but I don’t see any championship gold on either one of your waists.
“So who they hell do you think you are, calling out the Hurt Syndicate?” Archer says they’re the Murder Machines, that’s who! MVP tells Lashley to stand down, and then security steps in between both teams. MVP says yes, they saw what they did. Archer did the same thing he’s done for years: beating up a couple of inexperienced locals, hoping for an opportunity. That’s supposed to make an impression? Take yourself more seriously, and take THEM a lot more seriously. Also, they heard about the whole dictating the time and the place. But in the immortal words of Freddy Mercury, “We are the champions.”
Therefore, the Syndicate dictates the time and the place. But MVP is feeling generous, so he’ll do them a favor. Instead of setting these dangerous individuals loose on the Murder Machines now, how about next week, Archer & Cage beat a real team? Then they can talk championship business. The challenge has been issued, but will Archer & Cage take down whatever team they have to in order to have their shot?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti speak.
“You might know our names. But do you know who we are? Held back by our past, fueled by our present. Call us crazy. Call us ruthless. Call us unhinged. Call us… Cru.” The Cru is ready to roll, will they soon rule over AEW?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite last Wednesday.
Kris Statlander thanked Thunder Rosa for the save against Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne. But next time these b*tches laugh in their faces, let’s just swing on ’em. Rosa says oh she’ll swing on ’em. Will the Superbad Girl & Megasus regret getting on the bad side of The Galaxy’s Greatest & La Mera Mera?
AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0!
Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac made it through The Undisputed Kingdom, but they still have plenty of enemies to deal with. Red Death, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange want revenge on top of the gold, will they have it all? Or will no one stop The Swiss Cyborg, The Decoder & The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is truly the best trio in AEW!
The trios sort out and Yuta starts against Angelo Parker. The bell rings and Parker DROPKICKS Yuta! Parker whips, then ELBOWS Yuta, then he hurries to snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this but Parker facelocks. Yuta powers Parker to the corner, tag to Claudio, and they mug Parker. Claudio suplexes Parker, Parker slips free, but Claudio storms up. Parker fires body shots. Claudio shoves, only for Parker to duck ‘n’ dodge and- POP UP UPPERCUT! Cover, Garcia breaks it! The fans cheer, Garcia and Yuta talk trash, but the ref has Garcia back off. Claudio scoops Parker to SLAM him down!
Claudio runs to DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, Garcia breaks it again! Pac attacks Garcia, whips him, but Garcia reverses. Garcia BOOTS Pac, Yuta runs in, but Garcia BOOTS him! Claudio TOSSES Garcia out, but Parker rolls Claudio up! TWO, and Claudio UPPERCUTS Parker down! The fans boo but Claudio seethes. Claudio drags Parker to the corner, tags Pac, and Pac stomps away on Parker. The fans taunt Yuta, Pac taunts Garcia & Menard, then Pac bumps Parker off buckles. Pac wrenches Parker, whips corner to corner hard, and Parker drops to his knees. The fans boo, Pac soaks up the heat, and Pac storms up on Parker.
Pac brings Parker over, the fans chant, “He’s A Bastard!” Pac CHOKES Parker, lets off, and Yuta gets a cheap shot DROPKICK! The fans boo but Pac then stands on Parker’s head! The ref counts, Pac steps off, and Pac kicks Parker around. Tag to Yuta, Phoenix chants, “We Hate Yuta!” Yuta doesn’t care, and he just CHOPS Parker! Parker fires forearms on the Death Riders! He goes up and over, then sends Yuta into ropes! SNAP GERMAN! Hot tag to Menard! Pac tags in, but Daddy Magic rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! Menard whips, ELBOWS Pac, and the fans fire up! Menard then hits a CUTTER! Cover, TWO!
Menard drags Pac up, reels him in, but Yuta storms up! Menard kicks Yuta, but then Claudio BOOTS Menard! Claudio reels Menard in, but Parker & Garcia attack! They TRIPLE BACKDROP Claudio! Then they get Yuta & Pac for 3v2 DOUBLE SUPLEXES! The fans fire up for 2Point0, and they each get a man in a corner! The fans count as all three men rain down fists! They go all the way to TEN, so that’s 30 total! The fans fire up while Yuta and Claudio flop out of the ring. Garcia and 2Point0 put the fists up, and they do the dance! Then things go to the outside while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac SMACKS Menard off the apron! The ref has Claudio & Yuta stay back, but Pac slides into the ring. Pac talks with the ref, and that lets Claudio THROW Menard into railing! And then DUMP him over! Garcia hurries to coach Menard up, but the ring count begins. Menard drags himself up and over, flops back down, then crawls to the ring. Menard is in at 9! Pac seethes but he clamps on with a facelock. Pac grinds Menard down but the fans rally up. Menard fights to his feet, but Pac SOBATS! Pac tells fans to hush, then he tags Claudio. Pac digs his boots in, the ref counts, so Pac steps off. Claudio gives scuffing kicks and taunts Menard.
Menard rises, Claudio kicks at him more and more, but Menard ROCKS Claudio! And CHOPS! And repeat! Claudio whips Menard away, but Collision goes to break!
Collision returns as Claudio has Menard in a chinlock. The fans rally, and Menard fights up, to then JAWBREAKER free! Yuta tags in, the fans boo, but Yuta drags Menard away from his corner. Yuta clamps on a chinlock and he leans on the hold. “Yuta Sucks! Yuta Sucks!” Menard fights up, and he JAWBREAKERS free again! But Yuta DROPKICKS him down! Yuta tags Pac, then they mug Menard. Pac stomps away on Menard, the fans boo, but Pac paces around Menard. Pac stomps Menard down, but Menard goes to the ropes. The fans rally, Menard rises, and Menard CHOPS! Pac kicks, KICKS, and then ROCKS him!
Menard staggers to the corner, Pac tags Yuta, but the Death Riders BLAST Garcia & Parker! Death Riders then run up on Menard! ELBOW from Pac! ELBOW from Yuta! UPPERCUT from Claudio! And repeat! And repeat! Feed to Claudio for the scoop SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Daddy Magic survives and the fans are fired up! Claudio drags Menard up, tags Pac, and they mug Menard. Pac clamps on the chinlock and he grinds Menard down. Menard endures, the fans rally, and Menard fights up. Menard fires body shots, but Pac puts him in a corner and BOOTS! Pac pushes Menard down, then he watches from the apron.
Menard slowly rises, Claudio gives sarcastic applause, and Pac springboards, only to fake Menard out! Menard’s antiair gets nothing, and Pac whips, only for Menard to reel Pac in! POWERBOMB! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Hot tags to Yuta and Garcia! The fans are thunderous as Garcia rallies on the Death Riders! Garcia rains fists down on Yuta, but Claudio drags him away. Garcia BOOTS Yuta, sends Claudio into him, then hits a SAIDO on Yuta! SAIDO on Pac! SAI- NO, Claudio fights that off! Claudio runs, but Garcia dodges! Garcia BOOTS Claudio, 2Point0 DOUBLE HAYMAKER, and Claudio staggers backwards, into the SAIDO!!
The fans are thunderous again as Garcia spins Yuta, and hits the TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Garcia reels him back in! Yuta fights the lift, backdrops, but Garcia sunset flips! ONE, into the step-through! DRAGON TAMER!! The fans are thunderous again as Yuta endures! Pac storms in to BOOT Garcia! It does nothing! Garcia roars, Pac BOOTS him again! Garcia still roars, so Pac runs, but Parker DUMPS him out! Parker builds speed and WRECKS Pac with a dropkick! Garcia sits deep on the hold, but Claudio deadlift JACKHAMMERS Garcia! Menard DDTS Claudio! All six men are down and Phoenix is electric!
The fans rally for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Yuta and Garcia throw forearms! The fans cheer Garcia, they boo Yuta, and the forearms keep going! The shots go back and forth, Yuta SLAPS Garcia! Garcia just scowls, and then he clamps on! Yuta breaks free, Garcia CHOPS him! Yuta BITES Garcia’s ear!! Tag to Claudio, he LARIATS Garcia! Cover, TWO!! Garcia lives, but Pac tags in! Claudio SWINGS Garcia around, and Pac DROPKICKS at five! Cover, Parker breaks it!! Claudio drags Parker and Menard out, THROWS Menard into railing, and Pac BOOTS Garcia in the corner! Pac snapmares Garcia then climbs up top.
Pac aims, but Menard anchors Pac! Garcia trips Pac up, but Claudio is after Menard again! Parker tags in, he climbs up, and he goes to the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Both men are down, Parker crawls to the cover, YUTA BREAKS IT! Menard hurries in to put Yuta in the corner! Parker forearm SMASHES, drop toehold form Menard! BOOYAH ELBOW! They do the same on Pac, but Claudio UPPERCUTS Parker outta the air! The fans rally, but Pac puts on the BRUTALIZER!! Parker TAPS, Death Riders win!
Winners: The Death Riders, by submission (still AEW World Trios Champions)
But the fighting isn’t over! Pac holds onto Parker, Garcia crawls in, but he gets mugged by Claudio & Yuta! The ref tells Pac to stop, but here comes The Undisputed Kingdom! They want their own payback, and they step right up to The Death Riders! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! Garcia & Menard hep, this is 5v3! The Kingdom LARIAT The Death Riders out, and now Garcia stares down with Cole. The fans like the look of this. Pac stands up, into a SUPERKICK! Kyle & Roddy give Pac SWEEP THE LEG!! The Death Riders retreat, only for Moxley & Marina to storm their way out! The Maniac is pissed about what happened to Pac, but COPE IS HERE!!
The fans fire up as The Rated R Superstar storms out here, with two chairs! The Kingdom, Garcia & 2Point0 dare Moxley and the rest to come on back, but they stay far away! Cope puts Pac’s head on one chair, then wields the other, CON-CHAIR-TO!! The fans want that again, so Cope obliges. CON-CHAIR-TO again!! Cope promised to take out the pawns, and that’s one down! Will Cope be able to eliminate the others before we reach Revolution?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and brings up their issue with Harley Cameron. Taya says they have actually taken issue with Lexy! Lexy said that “everyone” was behind Harley, but Taya can think of two dangerous and sophisticated women who were not. Deonna says they’ll admit, Harley is talented. Harley can sing, rap, do ventriloquism, is funny and tells jokes. But when it comes to the wrestling ring, Harley is not fooling anyone. Harley got a fluke win over Taya, but she has not met the entire Vendetta. And what happened at Grand Slam? Harley LOST! And losers lose. That means Harley is at the back of the line.
So Harley has a choice: move, or be moved. Because The Vendetta has business to take care of. Lexy, MOVE. Lexy runs off, Taya & Deonna head out, but what will Harley choose to do?
Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Despite being 0-2 at his own challenge, Platinum Max is back again, and he introduces himself as The Best Wrestler Alive. He has been doing open challenges every week, and last week, he was disrespected by “Hangperson” Adam Page! The fans chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” but Caster tells them to relax. “Hangperson” attacked before the bell, chased Caster around the arena before he was ready, and so whoever answers tonight’s challenge, Caster implores them to get in this ring, look him in the eye, and shake his hand like a man. But they won’t, because everyone in AEW is afraid of Platinum Max!
“So let’s see who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster waits on his opponent, and it’s… BRODY KING! The fans fire up and Caster freaks out! Julia had her win earlier, will the Hounds of Hell get another win on the night? Caster reluctantly returns to the ring, the fans bark, and the bell sounds. Brody wants to shake hands, so Caster shakes his hand. But then Brody crushes Caster’s hand! Caster freaks out, fires a shot, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody smirk, runs up, but Caster dodges! Caster dropkicks the legs out, then he clamps on a headlock. The fans rally for Brody and Brody headscissors.
Caster moves around, hops around, headstands, and bridges, but Brody holds on tight! The fans cheer as Brody CHOPS Caster again! Caster sputters and staggers, but into a BACKDROP from Brody! Caster flounders to a corner, the fans bark again, and Brody runs up to SPLASH! The barking continues, and Brody roars before he CANNONBALLS! Brody drags Caster to a cover, Brody wins!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall
Well, at least Caster got his handshake… But this makes 0-3, is Caster going to realize his “Best Wrestler Alive” claim might be exaggeration?
Backstage interview with The Outrunners.
Lexy is with Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, and she congratulates them on their big win during ROH Global Wars last week. That begs the question, though: What’s next? Truth says nothing succeeds like success! He can’t even tell us the feeling when the entire country of Australia was cheering them as they chopped down The Learning Tree! Tell ’em, Turb! Turbo says that he’s been thinking, too, what is next? How can they top things? How can they go bigger and better? But then Hurt Syndicate walks through, and The Outrunners flag them down. Truth & Turbo heard about that challenge over Murder Machines VS “a real team,” for a shot at the tag titles.
So what if The Outrunners was the team to beat the Murder Machines? What then? MVP looks to his associates, and then says okay, here’s some good news and some bad news. Okay, okay! MVP says the good news is: If Outrunners do win, then they get the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. Nice! That’s what they’re talking about! The bad news is… If they beat the Murder Machines, it’s a tag title match with Lashley & Shelton. Good luck, boys. The Outrunners misunderstand and think this is a win-win, but will it just end up a lose-lose when Cage & Archer are through with them?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
It seems Harley will NOT be moved, as she is stepping up to The Virtuosa! Harley VS Deonna 1v1 is happening, but will Harley go 2-0 against The Vendetta? Plus, a bounty has been put out on Will Ospreay! And while it isn’t hard to guess who did it, it’s the Bad Apple that wants to collect! Will Bryan Keith take out Ospreay before Revolution? Or will the Aerial Assassin strike first?
ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho VS Bandido!
Speaking of that Global Wars match, not only did The Learning Tree lose, but Jericho himself was pinned by The Most Wanted! This title match has been a long time coming, but will The Nueve still be the Nueve? Or will Bandido bring honor back to ROH?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it’s time to see who reigns as El Campeon de Honor!
The bell rings, the fans are all behind Bandido, but Jericho gets on the corner. The fans boo Jericho, but then Bandido climbs up. The fans cheer Bandido! Jericho is annoyed by that, but Bandido feeds off that energy. The Code of Honor is finally offered by Bandido, and Jericho reluctantly takes it. Both men get in the other’s face, there’s a bit of trash talk, but then Bandido doesn’t let Jericho back up. Bandido aims his finger gun and says he’s got a shot with Jericho’s name on it. But then Jericho doesn’t let Bandido back up, and he pokes Bandido in the eyes! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Jericho ROCKS and CHOPS!
Jericho headlocks, Bandido powers up and out, but Jericho runs him over! Jericho soaks up the heat, then keeps moving. Bandido is up, hurdles, then drops. MOHNEKY FLIP! Bandido then LARIATS and the fans fire up! Jericho kicks low, CHOPS again, then whips. Bandido handsprings, Jericho dodges, but Bandido aims the finger gun. Jericho runs up, Bandido TOSSES Jericho out, then DIVES! Direct hit into the railing and Phoenix fires up! Bandido is back in the ring, he builds speed and FLIES! Down goes Jericho! Phoenix fires up with Bandido again, and then Bandido kicks Jericho. Bandido puts Jericho in the ring, then aims from the apron.
Bandido springboards and- CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Jericho snarls but Bandido is still in this. Jericho slaps Bandido around, taunts him, then drags Bandido up. Fans chant “Please Retire!” Jericho CHOPS, whips, then runs up to LARIAT in the corner! Jericho fires LARIAT after LARIAT, but only gets 4 before Bandido flops down. Jericho drags Bandido up to the top rope, CHOPS again, then climbs. Jericho pretends he can’t hear the fans, then he rains down fists! Jericho goes NUEVE~, then TEN! “Retire this!” SUPER STEINER! Bandido flounders, fans are torn because that is still impressive, and Jericho revels in it all the same.
Bandido goes to the apron, Jericho goes out to fetch him, and Jericho CLUBS Bandido. Jericho reels Bandido in, but Bandido fights the bomb! Jericho CLUBS away, Bandido fires body shots, then Bandido CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS back! Jericho fires forearms now, then gets some space. Jericho runs up, but into a RANA! Bandido sends Jericho to the floor! The fans fire up while both men are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Bandido and Jericho slowly stir, and luckily ROH rules means a 20 count. Bandido and Jericho are still down past 10, then finally sit up at 15. We hit 17, 18, and both men lunge in at 19! The match continues as both men crawl towards each other. They go forehead to forehead, then rise up for Jericho to fire a forearm! Bandido gives that back, so Jericho fires another! The forearms go back and forth, they gain speed, and they stand up to fire a flurry! Bandido fires a flurry, but then DOUBLE FOREARMS take both men down! Jericho goes to ropes, Bandido rises at center, and Collision returns to single picture.
Bandido eggs Jericho on, but Jericho CHOPS! Bandido CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans “WOO~” with every CHOP, but Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS Bandido on the back! Jericho soaks up the cheers and jeers, then he CHOPS! Bandido CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, then Bandido fires a flurry of CHOPS! Jericho CLAWS the eyes! Jericho whips, Bandido reverses then runs up, but Jericho puts him on the apron! Bandido GAMANGIRIS, then he goes up the corner! TORNILLO CROSSBODY! The fans fire up and Bandido hauls Jericho up, atomic FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!
Jericho stays in this but Bandido runs, only for Jericho to fireman’s carry! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Bandido survives and Jericho is annoyed. Jericho SLAPS Bandido, then he drags Bandido up. Jericho CHOPS, whips, but Bandido KICKS Jericho! Bandido then dodges the lariat to SUPERKICK! Bandido runs, into a BOOT! Jericho and Bandido DOUBLE HAYMAKER, and both men fall again! The fans fire up and Jericho slowly sits up. But then Bandido sits up like a Deadman! Both men are now back to back, and this time, we’re gonna get a real showdown! They take their ten paces and are in the corners!
The fans fire up, both men run up, but Bandido scoops Jericho to a torture rack! GO TO- NO, Jericho blocks the leg to turn Bandido over! WALLS OF JERICHO!! Bandido endures, claws at the mat, and the fans rally as hard as they can! Bandido powers up, fights his way forward, and he has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Jericho lets go and argues with Aubrey, and then throws a fit. Bandido rises, Jericho runs in, but Bandido gorilla presses! And with one arm! Then the SLAM! The fans are thunderous as Bandido goes up, up, and Latino Heat for the FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!? Jericho survives but fans cheer for “EDDIE! EDDIE!”
Bandido is frustrated, but Jericho knew Eddie well. Bandido keeps the Latino Heat going as he kicks Jericho. Then Bandido runs, but into a DROPKICK! Bandido tumbles to the apron, Jericho runs, triangle jump- NO, Bandido jumps up and SUNSET FLIP BOMBS him out of it! Cover, TWO!??! “This is Awesome!” as Bandido sits Jericho up. Bandido feeds off that energy and he whips Jericho. Jericho grabs ropes, avoids the dropkick, and he LIONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!! Bandido stays in this and Jericho is beside himself! Jericho goes for Bandido, Bandido cradles him! TWO!! Jericho escapes with nanoseconds to spare!
Jericho runs up, goes up,” Hi, Guys~!” RANA! Cover, TWO! Jericho snarls as his “Hi Spot” didn’t finish this. But then Jericho goes up a corner for a high spot! Only for Bandido to GAMANGIRI! Bandido climbs up, fires hands, then goes to the very top! Bandido clinches Jericho, scoops him, MOONSAULT AND BATTERY!!! The fans are thunderously losing their minds, Bandido crawls to the cover, TWO?!?! Bandido is too tired to even be shocked, and he drags Jericho back up. Gut wrench, Canadian Rack, then the flip, BUENAS NOCHES! But Jericho ends up on ropes, so Bandido plays the hot hand! BLACKJACK 21- VICTORY ROLL!! JERICHO WINS!!!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)
Jericho doesn’t let Bandido get him with the same move a second time, and he is still on top of ROH! Will anyone ever take that gold away from The Learning Tree?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, even for being recorded after Dynamite on Wednesday. Jericho VS Bandido was a great main event, but I had a feeling Jericho would retain the title. It’s the conundrum of having Jericho be the ROH World Champion again. I know they want ROH to get back on cable and they want to use a recognizable name to sell networks on, but I just don’t think it happens even with Jericho. And the saddest thing is, Bandido is 0-2 against Jericho when he really shouldn’t be.
At least the night opened with a great move. Mariah VS Toni part 3 was inevitable, so Mariah attacking Toni while being this disheveled psycho was a great move. “The Hollywood Ending” is going to be great, maybe even more violent than anything we’ve seen from these two yet. Hologram VS Mortos was the real main event, that match was awesome and just because these two wanted to bust out everything they had for Hologram’s first match back. Great win for Hologram, great save from Komander, and I’m sure they’ll have a great tag match with LFI.
Great stuff from Gabe VS Butcher, mostly because Gabe showed his power level by dominating Butcher and never really being in trouble. Don Callis scouting him is interesting, but he could think of recruiting Gabe to the Family over how Gabe could want a rematch with Kenny Omega. And then good promo from Callis & Kyle to accept the Steel Cage Match challenge, that’ll be great stuff. Cage & Archer of course destroyed Team Sky High, Mondo Rox & Robbie Lit, but the main thing is that now we have a #1 contenders match: Murder Machines VS Outrunners. Either choice is good for facing Hurt Syndicate, but it seems odd that Outrunners would get fed to either Murder Machines or Hurt Syndicate with how hot they’re running.
On the flip side, Lio & Action have a promo again after being gone for weeks and letting their story with Top Flight go cold. Their team name of “The Cru” is interesting. To be fair, I was calling the faction they had with Top Flight & Leila Grey “Top Flight Crew” and so now they’ve just split that name. But can two men really be a “crew” and not just a duo? Maybe they add a person or two? Either way, they just need to finish their feud with Top Flight once and for all. Though that seems to be something AEW rarely does. Serena Deeb really should’ve shown up after Aminata’s loss to keep that story alive, it’s barely even going.
Julia VS Aminata was a good match, and I suppose Julia showing toughness in that win is fine, but it felt dragged out. On the other hand, Brody deals with Caster quickly, which is perfect for the story. At a certain point, Bowens should answer the Open Challenge, and they should also put that certificate of “Best Wrestler Alive” on the line. Or at least have Bowens rip it up. Okada had a good promo to talk trash on Buddy while also talking trash on everyone else. I wouldn’t mind seeing Brody call out Okada in return and they have a match for Revolution. Harley had a great promo, and Vendetta had a good response. Harley VS Deonna will be great stuff, I wonder if Harley gets an ally against The Vendetta to escalate the story.
Um… Was that promo from Kris and Rosa to explain why Rosa didn’t take a swing? Or to cover for how things didn’t really make sense live on Dynamite? I mean, obviously they had to cover for it, that was really a janky moment. But hopefully they get us to Kris & Rosa VS Ford & Megan as fast as they can to put that story to rest and send someone towards a title match.
I do appreciate they aren’t wasting time in Cope going after the Death Riders like he promised on Wednesday. Great Trios title match, but I figured 2Point0 was losing. The Undisputed Kingdom showing up to make the save was a natural move, and they of course teased Daniel Garcia VS Adam Cole for the TNT Championship. Cope hitting Pac with the Con-Chair-to twice was some good stuff, and you can bet the same thing or similar is in store for the rest. And as for Marina, that’s perfect for bringing Willow into the story, Willow can handle Marina on behalf of Cope.
My Score: 8.8/10
