PLAY BY PLAY
The Patriarchy speaks.
Christian Cage says, “Tonight, my son, Nick Wayne, takes on Samoa Joe. And I’m so confident that he’s going to walk out with a victory, I’m going to allow him to speak.” Nick tells Joe that tonight, in Joe’s long awaited return, Nick will embarrass him. Nick will dismantle him! And he’ll do it all with a smile on his face. “Then The Patriarchy will resume our quest-” Christian cuts Nick off, “To become the next AEW World Champion.” The Prodigy has his father’s blessing, but will he just get an ass kicking from the Samoan Submission Machine?
Toni Storm speaks.
“Mariah May, we finally meet face to face! You are a veteran and a champion, so I will give you my utmost respect. Also, it’s Toni Time!”
Mariah May speaks.
Or rather, she holds up her AEW Women’s World Championship, then laughs and says, “Okay.” The Glamour is not sweating “the rookie,” but will she regret underestimating her?
Samoa Joe speaks.
“Tonight, I welcome the world to join me as I correct an injustice. For you see, tonight, the son will suffer the sins of the father. And Nick Wayne, you will suffer them in total.” Saturday night’s alright for a fight, but will Nick even survive this Collision with Samoa Joe?
Samoa Joe VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
The Patriarchy of course accompanies Nick out here, but then Nick, Christian & Kip Sabian corner Joe in the ring. But wait! Here come Hook & Shibata! They back Joe up and that makes The Patriarchy back down. The ref gets this to be just Joe and Nick, and the bell rings. Joe and Nick circle, tie up, and Nick can’t even push Joe back an inch!

Christian & Kip get on the apron, Hook & Shibata YANK them down! They brawl, Joe hits the MUSCLE BUSTER! Cover, Joe wins!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by pinfall

Lexy Nair is with the Costco Guys as they return to AEW, but are here visiting Daily’s Place for the first time. Lexy says the energy is infectious, so how does it feel to be part of AEW Homecoming? AJ says it is so cool, but then Roderick Strong shouts, “BIIIIIG! Boom AJ!” The Undisputed Kingdom walks in and Big Justice is certainly starstruck. Kyle O’Reilly lets the Costco Guys know there’s a certain someone who wants to have a little talk with them. Adam Cole steps forward, and he says he knows what they do. And AJ says they know what Cole does. Then wanna do it together? Yeah!
Cole, Big Justice & Big AJ all join in for a “BOOM~!” Now, the Kingdom’s gotta run, have fun watching the show. Cole fist bumps the Costco Guys, and AJ says Lexy can join in on this. Those guys get five big BOOMS~! B-B-B-B-BOOM! But bigger than that, will Cole, Kyle & Roddy make Homecoming undisputed? Or will the reunion of 2Point0 be one to remember?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS The Undisputed Kingdom!
The trios sort out and the TNT Champion starts against Cole. They tie up, Cole wrenches to a wristlock, but Garcia rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks back. Cole spins, slips through and wrenches to hammerlock. Garcia reaches back, manages a snapmare, and then a headlock. Cole fights up but Garcia hits a headlock takeover. Cole headscissors, Garcia kips free, and now Cole hits the headlock takeover while Garcia hits the headscissors. Cole kips free, then he dodges a lariat! Garcia avoids a boot, and both men show haymaker! The fans cheer the standoff, and then Garcia and Cole back away. Cole tags Roddy, Garcia tags Daddy Magic.
The fans cheer as Matt Menard is back in action! He ties up with Roddy, Roddy goes for a leg, and they go around and around. Roddy headlocks, wrenches, but Jacksonville is strongly behind Daddy Magic. Menard wrenches, hammerlocks, headlocks, but Roddy powers up and out. Menard runs Roddy over and the fans cheer.

Kyle aims from a corner, and he FLYING KNEES Menard! But Garcia CLOBBERS Kyle! The fans fire up, but Garcia spots Shane Taylor Promotions hanging out in the crowd. Carlie Bravo talks smack, but Lee Moriarty stares his rival down.
Shane Taylor says this isn’t anything Garcia wants. Garcia says sure, whatever he says. Garcia & 2Point0 regroups while Collision goes picture in picture.
Garcia whips Kyle into railing, 2Point0 talk smack on STP, but then Kyle fires forearms on Garcia! Garcia knees low, puts Kyle in, then he stays between Kyle and The Undisputed corner.

Homecoming returns and Menard rains down fists on Kyle in the corner! The fans count along and he goes all the way to TEN! Tag to Garcia, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, and Garcia goes to nine, fires up, and hits TEN! We can only assume Parker hit ten during the break, so Kyle just took anywhere from 20 to 30 shots! Tag back to Menard, he brings Kyle out to whip to a corner, then Menard tags Parker. Parker whips Menard so Menard can whip Parker, forearm SMASH! Feed tot he drop toehold, then BOOYAH ELBOW DROP!

Cover, Undisputed Kingdom wins!
Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall
2Point0 was looking good even for being away for so long, but STP isn’t impressed with Cole and crew. Cole, Kyle & Roddy still show Garcia & 2Point0 respect with handshakes and the fans cheer. But will we see Garcia put up his TNT Championship against each and every man who wants it?
Max Caster speaks.
“Last week, my ‘tag team partner’ turned his back on me. My mentor turned his back on me, too. In front of the whole world. And… Something like that could ruin any person’s life. But the response has been really overwhelming, and it made me realize I’m not just any person. And I’m not just the Best Wrestler Alive; I’m a survivor, too. So, I’m happy to announce right now my open challenge series. Who can survive The Best Wrestler Alive? I wanna see how many people here in AEW are just like me. I wanna see where the survivors are. Because all you guys are good, this is where the best wrestle, but you can’t be better than the Best Wrestler Alive.”
Platinum Max always has a way of sticking his foot in his mouth, but is his ego just gonna get his teeth kicked down his throat?
Holo.grm reboots.
It’s a lot of data, but the code is easy to crack: He’s on his way back! When and where will we see the lightspeed luchador return to AEW?
Top Flight speaks.
Lexy is with Darius, Dante & Leila, and brings up how Action Andretti & Lio Rush ambushed them last week. Dante says they’ve been in Jacksonville for just under 24 hours, yet they can’t find Action or Lio anywhere! It’s almost like now that Top Flight’s on their feet, Lio & Action can’t be found! Darius tells Dante to hold on. Is Dante really that surprised Lio & Action aren’t here right now? Dante isn’t sure what Darius is talking about, but Darius says, “Do I need to remind you that I didn’t want Lio’s ass in the group from the get go?” Leila wants Darius to chill but Darius says no. When Dante was hurt, Action held it down.
And when Dante came back, he, Darius & Action were well on their way to becoming Trios Champions when Dante’s boy came back around. Dante says Lio isn’t his boy. True, because Lio left Dante high and dry while Darius was out hurt! Lio started the mess, now Darius will clean it up. Darius tells Lio that if he wants to act all big and bad, that’s easy to do after Top Flight’s already wrestled a match, But let’s see how big and bad Lio is when it’s just them. If Lio wants a fight, then take off that stupid coat and meet Darius in the ring. Then Darius will send Lio packing again. Leila says well said, but will Darius make sure The Bad Child faces his final hour?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone brings up that on February 15th, just three weeks away, it will be Grand Slam: Australia in Brisbane! With that in mind, time for tonight’s face-to-face! First, the AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May! The fans boo as The Woman From Hell makes her entrance. Mariah keeps Schiavone from saying anything more, and says, “Let’s just get this s*it over with.” The fans boo but Schiavone introduces the challenger, Toni Storm! The fans cheer as the “rookie” Rockstar makes her way out here. Mariah has a scowl and a raised eyebrow as Toni offers a handshake, and then Toni sheepishly takes a step back.
Mariah has the mic and says, “When I look at you I see… nothing.” The fans boo, but Mariah says, “When I think about you, I feel… nothing. And in the hearts of every one of these fans, you. Are. Nothing.” The fans boo even more because that’s not true! Mariah tells Toni she is a JOKE. Toni is a meme! Fans laugh at you, then forget about you, just like Mariah always knew they would. Mariah does not care about Toni. She never cared about Toni. Toni was just the dumbest, easiest pawn Mariah used to dominate this entire game. And if Mariah has to remind Toni of that in Australia, so be it.
Because as good as Mariah feels now, she will get off humiliating Toni in her hometown. Toni shrinks away a bit as she takes the mic. She tells Mariah, “I… am your biggest fan! Everything you’ve done, I’ve seen it. From the UK to Japan to here in AEW. You’re amazing! You’re an inspiration! And one day, I want to be just like you!” Mariah is confused. And these words feel so familiar… Then Toni HUGS Mariah! The fans cheer, and Mariah is amused. She pets Toni’s head, then stands her up, to SLAP her down! The fans boo, but Toni stands, into another SLAP! Mariah laughs, pushes Schiavone aside, and then she BELT SHOTS Toni down!
The fans boo but Mariah LASHES Toni with the belt! Refs rush out here but they can’t stop Mariah from LASHING Toni again and again! Mariah stops when she’s satisfied, but then she SHOVES Aubrey Edwards! Mariah just LASHES Toni again and again! Security rushes out here to stop Mariah, but Mariah sits Toni to revisit the mocking smile and kiss on the cheek before she SLAMS Toni down. Mariah says she’s finally done, and she SPITS on Toni! The fans boo as Mariah steps out of the ring, but Toni crawls to ropes. Toni grabs the mic, and in a timeless accent, she says, “What makes you think I’ve forgotten?”
WHAT?! The fans go nuts as Toni rises up! She throws off the jacket, and asks Mariah, “What makes you think our dance is done?” Now Mariah is more confused than before! “Each scar, every drop of blood, I will feel forever. But now… It’s my moment in the sun!” Toni throws off her shirt! “They say the hardest role you will ever play is yourself!” Toni throws off the shorts! “But what you’ve just witnessed is the performance of a lifetime~! Mariah May! You may be the Woman From Hell, but you came from my womb! And I will shove you back up there, and spit you out! For I am TIMELESS! TIMELESS! TIMELESS TONI STORM! And I’m gonna RIP YOUR T*TS OFF!!”
Jacksonville is going wild and Mariah can’t believe it! Timeless Toni Storm has shed her cocoon, rises from the ashes, and is ready to burn Mariah’s world to the ground!! Will The Glamour not survive this sequel to their hit classic at All In?
AEW shares a preview of an all new Closeup with Renee Paquette.
Renee’s guests this time will be Jon Moxley & The Death Riders. The Maniac AEW World Champion says AEW is one mistake away from going back to ground zero. And who is going to take responsibility for that? Who is going to point fingers at who? Moxley says his vision is not “one Jon Moxley,” but a THOUSAND Moxleys! He wants to backfill this place, he wants it to last for 20 years, long after he’s gone! Because that is something worth doing. That is what he was sold on. That is why he came here. AEW was about the beauty, the art, and the craft of pro-wrestling. What they’ve done in here, what they’re about, that is what AEW was supposed to be about.
AEW was supposed to do things the way they were supposed to be done, giving this job, this profession, this industry they love the respect it deserves. It is NOT a party! The full episode drops next Tuesday, but this seems to finally shed some light on what Moxley’s really after. But is he somehow the one misguided about how to bring that about?

Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona want to prove they are the best by taking on the best, so they left it up to Tony Khan to give them the best. In step their opponents.

Backstage interview with Big Boom AJ & Big Justice, again!
Lexy is again hanging out with The Costco Guys, but they’re now joined by Harley Cameron! She loves these guys! They bring the BAM~! Wait, what? Yeah, yeah, and the oatmeal raisin cookies~! And the tuna melts~! No, that’s not what they like… Well, she does know they have a new song. That’s right! Bring in the Boom Year with the AMH Band and The Rizzler! Oh, and Harley is a singer, too, right? Oh, what? Her guitar? She dabbles but- The Vendetta walk in, and Taya Valkyrie says they are not doing this right now. And by this, she means listening to some TikTok family and a girl who wants the TBS Championship yet can’t even win a match on TV.
Deonna Purrazzo says, “Unlike me tonight, when I win this Fatal 4 Way match.” Deonna & Taya head out, but Harley tells them, “FEEL THE WRATH!” and the Costco Guys say, “Bring the BOOM~!” Harley says it’s bam, but they can work on that. But to Deonna’s point, will The Virtuosa be the one to challenge The CEO? Or will someone else earn a match with Mercedes Mone?
Backstage interview with Penelope Ford and Thunder Rosa.
Homecoming returns as Lexy is now with the Superbad Girl and La Mera Mera. Lexy thanks them for agreeing to no physicality, and brings up that they’re back in Jacksonville, the home of AEW, and Daily’s Place naturally means a lot to both of them. Rosa says yes, this is the heart of AEW! She is reminiscing over the past five years. Her great 2024 return, the Lights Out match she had, all these beautiful memories. Ford mockingly asks, “Remember when you were a champion? Yeah, um, I don’t care about the past, this is the present, and it’s time that AEW realizes the star Penelope Ford is. And if I have to tear apart a former champion to show it, I will.”
Rosa asks if Ford wants to catch these hands. Uh, duh, that’s why they’re here. Ford is challenging Rosa to a match! And Ford will put La Mera Mera in the ground. Then maybe, she’ll reminisce about something. Rosa says it better be a good memory, because Rosa will make their fight very memorable. The battlelines have been drawn, who wins to prove themselves worthy of their own title opportunity?
AEW TBS Championship Fatal 4 Way #1 Contender’s Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Queen Aminata VS Yuka Sakazaki VS Serena Deeb!
The Virtuosa has La Wera Loca by her side, and while you don’t want to be on The Vendetta’s bad side, the title match with Mercedes Mone is too good to pass up. Will the One True African Queen, the Wrestling Magical Girl, or the Professor of Professional Wrestling say hello to The C E O? Or will Deonna make good on her promise?

Yuka can only endure, but the same goes for Deonna CHOKING Aminata in a corner! The ref still reprimands, not that anyone has to stop what they’re doing, and Collision goes to break.
Homecoming returns and Deonna tilt-o-whirls Aminata into LA MYSTICA! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Aminata endures, reaches and rolls her, TWO! Deonna still has the arm but Aminata rolls. Aminata is free, and she comes back to waistlock, GERMAN SUPLEX! Deonna rises!? And she BOOTS Aminata down! The fans boo but Aminata’s right up! DOUBLE LARIATS take Queen and Virtuosa down! Yuka and Deeb are down on the outside, so the fans rally up. Yuka is in one corner, Aminata the other. Deeb hurries back in and she brings Yuka up! But Yuka kicks low! Yuka whips Deeb to a corner, then runs up, GAMANGIRI!
The fans fire up as Yuka shoves Deeb down! Yuka roars, the fans cheer, and Yuka goes up, up, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, Deonna breaks it! The fans boo but Taya cheers as Deonna stomps Yuka. Aminata DECKS Deonna! Deeb runs up, and she GERMAN SUPLEXES Aminata! Then a wrench, hammerlock, and PEPSI TWIST! Cover, TWO!! Aminata survives but she is dazed as she staggers to a corner.

The fans fire up as these two fire off shots! That rivalry from a few months back reignites here and the fans love it! They brawl up the ramp and to the stage, but that leaves Yuka alone with Deonna! And that means she’s alone with The Vendetta! Taya CLUBS Yuka, stomps her, and the fans boo. Taya drags Yuka up, she and Deonna work together, but wait! HARLEY CAMERON rushes out here! She saves Yuka, and ENZIGIRIS Taya! Deonna BOOTS Harley, then reels Yuka in! POWERBOMB! And then FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! But Yuka rolls it, rolls through, and steps over, MAGICAL CRADLE! YUKA WINS!!
Winner: Yuka Sakazaki, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TBS Championship)
Harley just made Deonna eat her words! Deonna is furious, will the wild Aussie regret getting in her way? Can Yuka make the most of this golden opportunity when AEW goes to Huntsville, Alabama?
Backstage interview with The Hounds of Hell.
Lexy is with Brody, Buddy & Julia and says that was a definitive win under their new name. What is their message to the AEW locker room? Buddy says that when these hounds bark, they bark together. But Okada laughs? He apologizes, and Buddy asks what’s so funny. Okada says Buddy barks like a b*tch! Buddy says okay, how about Okada puts his Continental Championship on the line against him? Okada flips Buddy off and says nope. Buddy says then that makes Okada the b*tch. Brody & Buddy head out, and Okada says, “I’m no b*tch!” Well, easy to say when they’ve left. But will The Rainmaker reconsider Buddy’s challenge?
Big Bill is in the ring!
Homecoming returns and The Redwood tells Hobbs that if Hobbs wants to assault him in the parking lot, then Bill makes sure Hobbs gets locked up for what he did! Last week, Hobbs gave us a cute story about how this is where it all began for him. Well, Hobbs, do us a favor: Take your bum knee, hobble on out here, and this is where Bill will END it for him! Ask and you shall receive, because here comes Hobbs! Security tires to stop him but they all get wrecked! Hobbs storms down the ramp, knocking security aside as he goes, then gets in the ring! The brawl is on again! Hobbs has the edge, but Bill powers free! And he kicks Hobbs’ bad leg!
Bill runs to BOOT Hobbs out of the ring! The fans boo but Bill goes back to his backpack. Bill pursues Hobbs to the ramp, and he CLOBBERS Hobbs with the backpack! It was FULL OF BRICKS!! And wait, he also had Hobbs’ knee brace in there, and a pair of handcuffs! Bill untangles the chain, CHOKES Hobbs with it, then rains down fists! The fans boo but Hobbs sputters on the ground. Bill LASHES Hobbs with the chain, and Hobbs sits up! Hobbs snarls through the bloody nose Bill just gave him, but Bill fires more hands! Hobbs staggers along the runway in front of the upper deck. Bill follows Hobbs, and he throws more hands!
Hobbs hits back but Bill rope-a-dopes with him. Bill ROCKS Hobbs again, and they’re now heading towards commentary! Nigel & Schiavone are very wary as Bill SMACKS Hobbs off the desk! Bill then grabs a chair, and he SMACKS Hobbs on the back! Hobbs still snarls, so Bill JAMS him up! And SMACKS him again! Hobbs flips Bill off! Bill kicks Hobbs down, looms over him, and then sits Hobbs up. Bill JAMS Hobbs up again! They go back along the runway, and Bill SMACKS Hobbs on the back again! They return to the stage, and Bill KICKS Hobbs’ leg! Hobbs falls in a heap, and Bill picks up the knee brace!
The fans boo as Bill mocks Hobbs. Bill throws the brace away to then rain down more fists! Bill then grabs some of those bricks! Hobbs sits up, Bill lines up the shot, but Hobbs LOW BLOWS Bill! Bill sputters, and Hobbs fires forearms! The fans fire up as Hobbs then LOW BLOWS again! Hobbs then clinches Bill, and says he’ll see Bill in Hell! BELLY2BELLY off the stage and down through a table!! The fans are losing their minds as both behemoths are down in the wreckage! Medics hurry to check on both men, did we just see a Powerhouse topple a Redwood once and for all?
The Don Callis Family has a meeting.
It was earlier this week that in his lavish home, Don Callis met with Brian Cage, Lance Archer, Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita around the dinner table. Callis sips some wine, then apologizes for keeping them waiting. He’s moving a little slow from what Kenny Omega did to him. That should be a lesson to all of them that this is not the Kenny Omega who faded away into the night a year ago. “This is a bloodthirsty Kenny Omega. This is a Kenny Omega who lacks empathy. This is a Kenny Omega who will not stop until he spills my blood. Which means he’s going to spill yours first, so you should be very concerned.
“And now this Will Ospreay alliance cannot be allowed to take place. We cannot allow them on the same page, it cannot be allowed to come to fruition.” Cage speaks up and says they all understand. But just look at this: There’s five Family members and only two of them! Callis says Cage of all people should know not to short sell Kenny Omega. Callis will remind everyone that a barely focused, barely-there-mentally Omega won three world titles with Callis in under three months. This is not the same Kenny. And who said there was only five of them? The others are confused, but then they notice a new place has been set at the table. Who’s joining The Family?
AEW International Championship: Konosuke Takeshita VS Katsuyori Shibata!
Well, speaking of the Family, Callis’ Alpha is ready to take on The Wrestler, all to prove who is truly the best man bell-to-bell to come out of Japan! Will Konosuke stay the DUAL AEW International & NEVER Openweight Champion? Or will Shibata finally have gold back around his waist?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and there can only be one alpha wrestler!
The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, the fans rally for Shibata, and Shibata waistlocks. Callis has appeared on commentary, claiming Kenny attacked him unprovoked when he simply wanted to welcome him back. Shibata wrangles Konosuke to the mat, keeps on him as Konosuke moves around, but Konosuke fights up. Konosuke pries at the waistlock but Shibata hooks a leg with a leg to wrangle Konosuke again. Shibata then powers Konosuke to an armbar, only for Konosuke to use his own long legs to fight around. Shibata slips around to waistlock, but Konosuke switches. Konosuke shifts to a full nelson but Shibata pries at the grip.
Shibata uses his own leg for leverage and breaks fere. Shibata wrenches, wristlocks, but Konosuke rolls to trip Shibata. Konosuke has a leg but Shibata rolls over, reels Konosuke in, and hits a headlock takeover. Konosuke headscissors, but Shibata moves around. Shibata headstands, pops free, then has the toehold. Konosuke endures, throws Shibata, but Shibata cartwheels through! Konosuke narrowly avoids the Penalty Kick, and the fans cheer the standoff. The two reset, feel things out, and knuckle lock. Konosuke knees low, then CLUBS away on Shibata! The fans boo but Konosuke soaks it up.
Shibata knees low, CLUBS away, and whips Konosuke into buckles. The fans cheer as Shibata rains down fists. Shibata goes corner to corner, but Konosuke BOOTS him down! Shibata bails out but Konosuke goes out after him. Konosuke drags Shibata up, and he RAMS Shibata into the railing! Konosuke DUMPS Shibata over, then goes after him in the crowd! The fans tell Callis off but Konosuke fires forearms on Shibata. Shibata takes a seat, Konosuke gets space, and Konosuke runs up, into a BOOT from Shibata! Now Konosuke takes a seat, and Shibata fires a flurry of forearms! Shibata then gets space, and he runs up to BOOT Konosuke down!
The fans fire up for Shibata but the ref wants this back in the ring. Shibata tosses Konosuke back to ringside, so that’s a start. Shibata stalks Konosuke while Collision goes picture in picture.
Shibata pushes Konosuke into the ring, then brings him to the apron. Konosuke fights back and he DDTS Shibata on the apron! Shibata falls in a heap and Konosuke grins. Konosuke soaks up the heat from Jacksonville, then he brings Shibata up. Konosuke puts Shibata in the ring, drags him up, and scoops him for a SLAM! Konosuke then goes to the corner, hops up, and he soaks up cheers and jeers before the SUPER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Shibata stays in this but Konosuke stays calm. Konosuke drags Shibata around by his legs, turns him over, and has the BOSTON CRAB! Shibata endures, reaches out, and he powers up!
Shibata crawls his way forward, but Konosuke drags him back! Konosuke sits deep on the Boston Crab, but Shibata powers up again! Shibata tucks, rolls, and FLINGS Konosuke down! HEEL HOOK! Konosuke flails and finds the ROPEBREAK! Shibata lets go, then storms up to KICK at Konosuke’s leg! Shibata CLUBS Konosuke, but Konosuke fires a forearm! Shibata returns that, they go back and forth, faster ‘n’ faster! Shibata eggs Konosuke on so Konosuke fires a flurry! Konosuke backs Shibata down to a corner, fires more shots, but stops as the ref counts. Konosuke winds up to ALPHA ELBOW! Shibata sputters while Homecoming returns to single picture.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, but Shibata follows to BOOT! The fans fire up as Shibata now fires a flurry of forearms! But Konosuke roars as he rises up! Only for Shibata to ROCK him! Shibata CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” and then MACHINE GUN CHOPS fire off! Shibata sits Konosuke down, runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans fire up more and Callis is worried as Shibata hits the SNAP HALF HATCH! Cover, TWO! Konosuke stays in this and fans cheer “DUVAL~!” Shibata drags Konosuke up but Konosuke is a ragdoll. Callis is even more worried, but Shibata eggs Konosuke on.
Shibata fires KICK after KICK, but Konosuke blocks one! Konosuke spins Shibata around to GERMAN SUPLEX! But Shibata’s up to KICK Konosuke in the back! Shibata keeps moving but Konosuke ducks the Penalty Kick! Konosuke clinches for an EXPLODER! Shibata is up to GERMAN SUPLEX! Konosuke lands hard but he’s up to ALPHA ELBOW! Konosuke goes to run but Shibata almost pants’d him! Shibata reels Konosuke in for a S T O!! Both men are down and Jacksonville is thunderous! Konosuke and Shibata slowly rise, and they go forehead to forehead. They fire forearm after forearm! The fans fire up as the shots keep going!
Shibata and Konosuke do not back down, but then Konosuke fires boxing elbows! RAGING- NO, Shibata slips free to have a SLEEPER! Shibata is a backpack, but Konosuke BACKPACK SENTONS! Shibata lets go, but only for a moment! SLEEPER with BODY SCISSORS!! Konosuke flails, reaches out, but he gets a second wind! Konosuke stands to RAM Shibata into buckles! Shibata holds on but Konosuke drags him up and over, then tuck shim in! BASTARD DRIVER!! Then WHEELBARROW GERMAN!! Shibata sits up, into the POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Shibata rolls through to PENALTY KICK!! Both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous again, and they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” “This is Awesome!” Shibata drags Konosuke up, ripcords, and SLAPS Konosuke! Konosuke sputters, so Shibata KICKS him! And KICKS, KICKS, KICKS! Shibata brings Konosuke back up, ROCKS him again, then tucks him for a COBRA TWIST! Konosuke endures, Callis storms off commentary! Where’s he going? Konosuke still endures the hold, but he stomps towards the ropes. Callis appears ringside now, and the fans boo as Callis complains. Konosuke makes it to the ROPEBREAK, so Shibata lets go, only to SAIDO! But Konosuke’s up to GERMAN SUPLEX!
But Shibata’s right back up!? SLEEPER!! The fans are thunderous again but Callis coaches “Take-kun” to fight! The ref checks Konosuke, Shibata lets him go to run the ropes, but Callis trips Shibata up! The fans boo as the ref misses that! Konosuke is up, and he runs up, only for Shibata to dodge! The boot gets stuck on the ropes! Shibata rolls Konosuke, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, he and Shibata fire more forearms! Shibata CROSS COUNTERS! Then SLEEPER, but Konosuke slips around! BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, ONE?!?!? WHAT?!? Konosuke is shocked, Callis is furious, but the fans are loving this!
Konosuke aims from a corner, fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” but Homecoming is already in overtime, it has to end somehow! Konosuke and Shibata roar and run up, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Shibata falls, but he rises up! Konosuke ALPHA ELBOWS, then POWER DRIVE KNEES!! Konosuke isn’t done, he hits RAGING FIRE!! Cover, KONOSUKE WINS!!!
Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Callis grabs the belt for his man, but he of course had to tip the scales in Konosuke’s favor. Will Callis continue to skew things in his Family’s favor? Or can Ospreay & Omega finally put an end to this?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for Collision, especially with it being Homecoming, but it had the usual problem of more talking and promos than it probably should have. Them bringing back the cold open promos really only adds to that, really. But at least Joe’s promo led right into his match with Nick Wayne. Naturally, Hook & Shibata had Joe’s back against The Patriarchy, and naturally Joe won. I still expect a Six Man Tag and maybe even Joe VS Christian, we haven’t had that 1v1 in like 18 YEARS. Plus, it could also be used to smokescreen Christian’s cash-in, where Christian loses but still circles back to cash-in on whoever is world champion later that night.
Speaking of, nice preview from the AEW YouTube show, Closeup. Since there is no “higher power” or whatever other mastermind behind this Death Riders takeover story, it helps that Moxley gets time to spell out the motivations behind what he’s doing. He is basically taking what The Blackpool Combat Club was founded on, but twisting it into a somewhat more selfish form, where he wants there to be wrestlers in his same mold to go on and on, until the end of time. It’d work better if the younger wrestlers they feuded with actually changed their behaviors. Private Party got serious for their one match with Young Bucks, then got beat by Hurt Syndicate, just as an example.
Good stuff having Big Boom AJ & Big Justice backstage, and naturally we had to get them do a “BOOM~!” with Adam Cole. Great Six Man Tag of Undisputed Kingdom VS Garcia & 2Point0, but it was also a fitting detail that STP was in the crowd to taunt everyone. Good win for The Undisputed Kingdom, and while they teased Garcia taking on each member of the Undisputed Kingdom, I feel like we’ll see Garcia VS Moriarty again before Garcia loses the TNT title. AJ & Justice having their promo with Harley and The Vendetta was also good stuff, and I appreciate the Fatal 4 Way setting up many things. Deeb VS Aminata is back and it might actually have a blowoff this time, while Harley of course helps Yuka against The Vendetta. Yuka surely loses to Mone, but maybe Yuka can help Harley get that first ever televised win.
While Gates of Agony VS “Hounds of Hell” was a good match, it’s a real shame these two teams were put against each other so soon. I mean, Buddy & Brody burying Gates of Agony is one thing, but commentary didn’t even realize Kaun & Liona hit one of their finishers because Schiavone & Nigel don’t do ROH. That aside, Brody & Buddy did have a good promo with Okada, and in the long run, I suppose Buddy missing out on the C2 is fine if he gets a match with Okada anyway. After all, Buddy’s from Australia, we definitely need Buddy VS Okada on Grand Slam. Buddy won’t win the title, but he can really establish himself pushing Okada to his limits. Same can be said with Komander against Okada tonight in their match.
Great stuff with Hobbs and Bill tonight, and especially how it finished in the arena. I would think those two will battle it out again under No Disqualification or even Last Man Standing rules. Granted, that does leave the door open for Chris Jericho & Bryan Keith to get involved, but it could also help Hobbs have back-up. And as I’ve been thinking, Hobbs surely wins to then go after Jericho 1v1. ROH World Championship is optional, but we really need the supposed ROH TV deal to come through already. I mean, it’s not like TK has helped ROH build ROH wrestlers to be challengers to the world title, but the sooner ROH has that TV deal, the sooner Jericho can stop being champion.
Awesome stuff with Toni and Mariah tonight, especially as we finally get an answer as to what was going on with Toni. Of the two options, Toni acting like the old Toni, aka it was all a performance, was certainly the more obvious, but it was perhaps also the more logical. There is still time to build the match so we can’t quite call it yet, but Toni winning in Australia would certainly make the Grand Slam crowd happy. And should Toni win, I would think Rosa is next. She and Ford had a good promo together, but Ford is definitely losing that match. Then we can have a great new feud of Thunder VS Storm going towards Revolution.
Very good vignette promo from The Don Callis Family, and I’m very intrigued by who they could be bringing into the faction. A part of me hopes Trent Beretta is making a return, but I don’t think he’s vicious/dangerous enough to help Callis against Omega & Ospreay. Konosuke VS Shibata was an awesome main event, certainly worthy of the title and of Japanese Strong Style, but of course Callis helped Konosuke retain. The plan must certainly be for Ospreay & Omega to win in Australia, and then we get Omega VS Konosuke for the International Championship while Ospreay and Fletcher go one more round, all of this happening at Revolution.
My Score: 8.9/10

Marina Shafir storms out here!
She throws some poor rando around on stage, and then kicks her off stage, to then storm into the ring. Marina intimidates Arkady Aura into giving up her mic, then here come the Death Riders! Claudio Castagnoli SHOVES a cameraman down, then SMASHES the camera! Then he CHOKE SLAMS the cameraman through a table! Wheeler Yuta beats up more equipment, the fans boo these sore losers, because clearly this is all in response to losing the AEW World Trios Championships just last night. Boston tells off Yuta but he just uses that as motivation. Jon Moxley is in the ring, waiting for all of this to calm down a bit.
Marina gives Moxley the mic, and Moxley tells the fans and everyone celebrating last night better enjoy it now. “Hobbs, Swerve, Shibata, enjoy it now! Because it’s the last chance you’re gonna have to celebrate for a long time!” The fans boo, but Moxley tells The Young Bucks he officially doesn’t like them, he doesn’t like looking at them, so they better stay in their own lane. They cross the line with Moxley, he swears to God that they are never seen or heard from again, and he means that! Fans are torn there, but Moxley says from the first day he started in this sport, there was one undisputed baddest man in pro-wrestling. That man is Samoa Joe.
The fans cheer for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” and Moxley says he has always shown Joe respect, treated him with reverence. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta tells them to shut up! Moxley says he has given Joe that reverence, he has given Joe his space, and it could’ve stayed that way. But Joe started something that Moxley has to finish. Because Moxley doesn’t know any other way, he will not run, he will not hide, he will not roll over and die. he knows no other way to do this but to fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship! Tomorrow, now, for better or worse! Mox will be clear: He is challenging Joe!
The fans again chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Moxley says that’s all he’s gotta say. Joe’s known Moxley long enough to know exactly what he’s dealing with. Moxley then storms off, leading the Death Riders away. Will Samoa Joe accept that challenge, and perhaps even go Double or Nothing?
Kevin Knight VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!
The Jet is feeling real good having his share of $400,000, and he’s preparing for next month’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. But will Knight still be too fly? Or will he be sent crashing down by the Murderhawk Monster?

After Dynamite went off the air, the NEW AEW World Trios Champions regrouped backstage. Samoa Joe said, “Do you understand the unusual thing about predators? Predators tend to think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle. They think that nothing pursues them because they are the pursuers. Tonight, the Death Riders learned that wasn’t the case. See, we are The Opps. We are not a movement, we are not an understanding between gentlemen, no. We are men who only need an opportunity and excuse to commit violence. We are men like Shibata. We are men like myself. And now, Death Riders, you learned we are men like Willy Hobbs.
“We are The Opps. We are your AEW Trios Champions. And we are coming for so much more.” The Death Riders were the hunters but are now the hunted, will their reign of terror end thanks to The Opps?

Boston fires up as their C E O is here, one match away from going Double or Nothing for the Owen Hart Cup. But will #FourBeltsMone get a win over the Forever ROH Women’s Champion? Or will Athena prove she is every bit the Fallon Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, and THE most dominant women’s champion in all of wrestling today?
The bell rings and the fans are strongly behind “C E O! C E O!” Mone. Mone and Athena stare down, slowly circle, and hear the fans are already losing their minds for this veritable dream match.

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee Paquette is with the Cowboy, and says she will try this question again from last week. Coming up in mere moments, he faces the Wild Card in the Owen Hart Cup. How has he prepared for this match? Hangman says it is the Wild Card, how can he- The Elite interrupts. The Young Bucks step in and say hey, been a minute. In fact, it was last year’s Blood & Guts when Hangman walked out on them and cost them the entire match. But hey, Matt knows Hangman’s about to apologize, but they’ve already forgiven him, it’s all good. Nick says my God in Heaven, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, does Hangman look good!
And Nick knows that Hangman is happy now, because the Bucks cost Swerve the world title like Hangman wanted. It’s like they’re best friends again. This is great. Now, one more thing. This whole issue Hangman has with Moxley and the Death Riders? Yeah, they can fix that. They’ll patch things up. Because between you and them, the Death Riders are crazy. But The Elite are sure they can get the Death Riders on their side. So here’s what Hangman is gonna do. Hangman is gonna win The Owen, he’ll bring the world title back to The Elite, let The Bucks handle the rest. You got this, Hanger! Go get ’em, champ!
Nick & Matt walk out, but Okada hangs back long enough to ask Hangman, “Why you always angry? Smile! Like this!” Okada has a big goofy grin, Hangman just heads out. Okada says, “B*tch!” Hangman storms back in and Okada apologizes. Just smile. Hangman leaves again, and Okada rolls his eyes. Will the Rainmaker learn not to push Hangman’s buttons if he knows what’s good for him?

But Hangman lands out!

Or will the Aussie Arrow be shot down by a Buckshot?
The Patriarchy speaks.
Specifically, Nick Wayne says, “The Patriarchy is a hierarchy. And who’s at the top? The father. So when the father disappears, either the whole structure collapses on itself, or someone needs to-” Kip Sabian notices someone off screen, and he taps Nick on the shoulder. Nick asks what’s going on, then looks over. It’s CHRISTIAN CAGE! Christian walks over and says, “Daddy’s home, Nick. It’s been quite a month for you, hasn’t it? And I’ve been watching from afar, and I couldn’t happen to notice one of those weeks, you said you knew the reason why I executed the contract at Revolution and didn’t stick to the plan. But you wanted to say it to my face. Well, say it.”
Nick says the reason Christian didn’t stick to the plan is because he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if Cope became AEW World Champion before Christian did. Oh, is that what Nick thinks? Well, that’s what Nick thinks, so it isn’t a fact, it’s just an assumption. And to assume makes an ass out of you and me. But what is fact is, the last time they saw each other face to face, Nick had a fire lit under him. Christian liked that. Make no mistake, Christian gave Nick this month to find himself. To find the confidence to keep that flame growing. Christian was impressed with what Nick did while Christian was away.
So impressed, in fact, that Christian got Nick something. It has been a lifelong dream for Nick to wrestle for NJPW, in the Best of the Super Juniors tournament. So Christian took it upon himself to procure a spot for Nick in that tournament. Now, the best way to get ready for a tournament like BOSJ, Nick, is to keep your momentum going. That is what they will do. Christian will keep Nick very busy until it is time to head for Japan. That starts tomorrow night, Collision: Spring Breakthru, here in Boston. Nick will face one of the best super juniors in the world, Komander, for his ROH World Television Championship.
Christian knows Nick will go out there, win that match, and do it by himself. Nick’s gonna that title home to The Patriarchy, isn’t he? Because Christian knows his baby boy wouldn’t intentionally let his father down, now would he? Christian pats Nick on the cheek, to then basically SLAP him! Nick is fuming, Mother Shayna calms him down, but Christian has her and Kip follow him out. The Patriarchy’s Prodigy has that fire inside, but will that flame blaze a trail to the top of the wrestling world? Or is it going to burn him up inside?
FTR has been suspended!
Given their actions last week, both threatening Tony Schiavone & Nigel McGuinness, as well as going too far with Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker and Daniel Garcia, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler have been suspended for one week, and their paychecks for this week have also been docked as a fine. Will this time off help FTR realize where they’ve gone wrong?
AEW World Tag Team Championships: Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin VS The Gates of Agony!
While the All Mighty & Standard of Excellence neither want nor need Maxwell Jacob Friedman, they do need to defend the titles. And while the Hurt Syndicate hurts people, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are pretty sure they break people. Will the Gates of Agony once again be golden? Or will the Gates be ripped right off the hinges?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really brings the pain!
The teams sort out and Liona just CLOBBERS Lashley & Shelton! Liona fires off on Shelton, the fans boo, but Liona CHOPS! Liona whips, Shelton turns the backdrop into a DDT, but Liona is right up! Liona HEADBUTTS Shelton in the chest! MVP is on commentary now as Liona calls to Kaun. The Gates coordinate, and Liona runs to HIP ATTACK Shelton in the corner! Kaun runs in and METEORAS! Then Kaun PLANCHAS onto Lashley! Liona covers Shelton, TWO! The fans rally, Liona tags Kaun, and now they get Shelton up. They mug Shelton in an open corner, the ref counts and reprimands, and the fans are torn.
Kaun CHOKES Shelton, lets off as the ref counts, and Kaun mockingly applauds. Kaun CLUBS Shelton, ROCKS him, then ROCKS him again. Kaun whips, Shelton reverses, but Kaun blocks a kick! The DRAGON WHIP still finds him! The fans fire up as Shelton drags Kaun up and brings him over. Tag to Lashley and he runs to RAM Kaun in the corner! The fans fire up as Lashley RAMS Kaun again and again! Lashley turns Kaun, Kaun slips free and CHOPS! Kaun runs, but Lashley blows past him, then clinches for a FLATLINER! The fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” as Lashley suplexes high and hard!
The fans fire up for Lashley as he goes corner to corner, but Kaun ELBOWS him away! Lashley LARIATS Kaun up and out! Lashley goes out to then RAM Kaun into railing! Lashley leaves Kaun behind while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Lashley tags Shelton, Shelton drags Kaun up to RAM him into the apron! And then the railing! Then back to the apron! Then back to the railing! Shelton throws Kaun into the ring, storms up and brings Kaun around, scop and TOSS! Shelton paces around Kaun, drags him up, and then TOSSES him back out! Tag to Lashley and Lashley storms over to Kaun. The fans fire up as Lashley THROWS Kaun over the desk! Kaun takes the desk hood with him, and MVP talks trash while Kaun’s on the floor. Lashley returns to drag Kaun up and around, just to THRWO him into railing! Kaun slumps down and Lashley revels in the cheers.
Lashley drags Kaun back up, puts him back in the ring, and Lashley stalks Kaun. Lashley drags Kaun up, but Kaun fires forearms! Kaun CHOPS, but Lashley KNEES low! Lashley whips Kaun to a corner, but Kaun goes up, only to get caught! OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! Cover, ONE!! Kaun stays in this, proof of how the Gates were once ROH World and ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions. Lashley tags Shelton, they mug Kaun, then Shelton stands Kaun up. Kaun fires a forearm, Shelton fires back, and repeat! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as Kaun fires a flurry! Shelton ROCKS him with just one!
Shelton drags Kaun up, fires a flurry of his own, and then whips Kaun to ropes. Kaun ducks ‘n’ dodges, then Shelton dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! The fans fire up while both men are down! Shelton and Kaun crawl, hot tag to Liona! Liona runs in, fires forearms, then whips. Shelton ducks ‘n’ waistlocks, but Liona fires elbows. Liona shoves Shelton, then SAMOAN DROPS on the return! Liona basement SUPERKICKS, then he runs to SENTON! Cover, Lashley breaks it! Lashley bumps Liona off buckles again and again, then shouts to Shelton to get up. But Liona grabs Lashley by the neck! Liona puts Lashley in the corner, and he fires an UPPERCUT!
Liona roars, then fires POINT-BLANK LARIAT again and again! The fans count along, Liona goes to nine, then reels Lashley in, only for Lashley to slip around! HURT LOCK!!

The fans fire up as Shelton now waits on Kaun to get up. GERMAN SUPLEX!
Shelton stays fired up, he hits another GERMAN SUPLEX! Liona runs in, Shelton DUMPS him out! Liona lands on his feet, talks trash, but Lashley SPEARS Liona down! MVP is fired up, Boston is loving it, and the Hurt Syndicate has Kaun isolated. Shelton runs up to KNEE, then tag to Lashley! SPEAR!! Cover, Hurt Syndicate wins!
Winners: Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)
The Gates of Agony may dominate ROH, but The Hurt Syndicate still runs AEW! And wait, here comes MJF. Lashley is annoyed by this scumbag’s persistence, but the fans cheer as MJF makes his way to the ring. MJF has the mic to tell them to cut his music, and the fans cheer him on. MJF says, “Ladies and gentlemen, enough about how great I am. Although, I am enjoying it, don’t get me wrong. But give it up for the Hurt Syndicate, baby!” The fans cheer, and MVP says see? MJF’s not all bad. The fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” but MJF says no, Boston is way too white, and they’re not even on the same beat, so just stop.
But here’s the deal: As they know, MJF brings a lot to the table. Montel knows this, Shelton knows this–and he looks great by the way–and well, not to name names, but some of us are slow learners. Lashley gets mad because we know who he means, and MVP asks MJF why he has to do that. MVP gets Lashley to calm down, and MJF apologizes. Did he say a name, though? Boston says no, he didn’t. MJF thanks them for having his back. Now, when MJF talks about the talent he brings to the table, he’s not talking about his own. No, no, because MJF has some talent in the back that is just dying- MVP says MJF just needs to put the cards on the table, he already pissed Lashley off as it is.
MVP says he loves Max and, but get to the point. MJF says he loves Montel, too. But they’re gonna really like this. Bring ’em out! The Hurt Syndicate music plays as some of Boston’s finest ladies make their way out on stage. MJF seems to have piqued the Hurt Syndicate’s interest as these eight ladies make their way to the ring. MJF has the music cut, the ladies have towels to dry the guys down, and MJF says the Hurt Syndicate can have a night on the town with all these lovely ladies. All MJF requests are the three thumbs up for him to join up. The floor is theirs. MVP asks Shelton and Lashley to do this one more time.
MVP still gives his thumbs up. Shelton? Shelton, pay attention! Shelton stops staring at the ladies long enough to say this is all very nice. But uh, he might need a little more time. Boston boos, MJF tells them it’s cool, it’s fine, everybody shut up! But what does Shelton mean more time? They’ve been talking about this for weeks! Shelton says he’s gonna need some time. Shelton… Are you saying you want the watch on MJF’s wrist? Yes, exactly. MJF knew he liked Shelton! Okay, okay, hear him out. MJF will give him this watch. All Shelton needs to do is give the thumbs up. The fans cheer, and Shelton looks between watch and ladies, then holds out his hand.
Shelton smiles, and gives a thumbs u- Uhhh… Lashley is staring Shelton down… So Shelton gives a thumbs down!? Lashley intimidated Shelton into saying no! MJF says c’mon! They must be out their da- mocracy! MJF loves him some democracy! And he respects the power of the vote! Hell, MJF even respects the power of the people! Maybe not these people, but you get his point. Shelton, what MJF thinks is that he’s growing on Shelton. And tell you what. As a token of his appreciation, MJF will still give him the watch. In fact, if Shelton still wants the ladies, he can still have the ladies. The fans cheer that!
And just know that when MJF joins the Hurt Syndicate, there will be plenty more watches ‘n’ women where that came from. MJF steps out, and he says one more thing, “Bob.” MJF respects him, he is the All Mighty, he’s known for being strong. But y’know what MJF’s known for? Getting what he wants. MVP keeps Lashley calm, the fans chant “He’s Our Scumbag!” MJF asks Lashley if he knows why MJF gets what he wants. He’ll tell you why. It’s because he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it. MJF drops the mic then takes his leave. But if possessions and pleasures won’t tempt Lashley, what must MJF offer to change his mind?
AEW returns and…
Alicia Atout catches The Hurt Syndicate and MJF’s ladies heading out. She congratulates them on the impressive win, but brings up that MJF is very persistent. MVP stops her there, wanting to talk with the guys first. MJF asks MJF’s ladies to give them a second, but not to wander off too far now. Lashley again says he still doesn’t trust MJF. MVP knows, but he says Lashley is having a personal reaction to MJF. This is business. Look at it from the business standpoint. MVP knows MJF can be… Annoying? Yes, annoying, but think businesswise. They can still use MJF to get what they want. So all MVP is asking is for Lashley to ease up.
MVP will give Lashley his word: The moment MJF steps outta line… Well, they’ll save that for later. Right now, can we just have a good night? Shelton asks, “Please?” Lashley says sure thing. Ladies, shall we? Yass~! Lashley, Shelton, MVP and the ladies head out to enjoy the Boston nightlife, but will the All Mighty actually give in to the Devil of AEW?
2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinal Round: Will Ospreay VS Konosuke Takeshita!
Stemming from the Don Callis Family dysfunction and fallout, these two are 1-1 from their instant classics last year. Aerial Assassin once again battles The Alpha, who takes the tiebreaker to go Double or Nothing?
Callis of course joins commentary for this one, but is annoyed that there’s another Callis cosplayer. The bell rings and the fans fire up behind Ospreay. The fans lose their minds already as Ospreay and Konosuke stare down. The two slowly circle, the fans fire up more, and the two tie up. Konosuke waistlocks, Ospreay switches, but Konosuke wrenches out. Ospreay rolls and gets free, and Konosuke applauds. The two reset, feel things out, knuckle lock, and then go shoulder to shoulder.

Ospreay uses his free leg to drag Konosuke down. Konosuke clasps hands to fight the armbar, but his shoulders are down so it’s a cover. TWO as Konosuke sits up, and he works to stack Ospreay. ONE as Ospreay pushes Konosuke back down. Konosuke rolls, traps Ospreay’s legs with his own, then waistlocks. Konosuke shifts to get a half nelson, and he turns Ospreay over to a lateral press, ONE! The two stand off and the fans tell off Callis. Callis looks over his shoulder at the fans flipping him off while Konosuke and Ospreay go to corners. Callis says he does not appreciate this treatment, he is simply helping “elevate” commentary.
Ospreay and Konosuke tie up, Konosuke powers Ospreay to a corner, but the ref counts. Konosuke lets off, but then winds up! Ospreay avoids the elbow and wags his finger. The fans cheer and Konosuke nods. Ospreay and Konosuke reset, tie up, and Konosuke pulls hair to put Ospreay on the ropes! The ref counts, Konosuke lets go at 4, but then he tries to sneak a headlock, only for Ospreay to turn things around. Ospreay lets off, to CHOP! The fans fire up while Konosuke goes to the corner. The ref has Ospreay hold on, and the fans fire up as Ospreay backs off. Boston sings for “Ospreay~! Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” as Konosuke storms up.
Ospreay and Konosuke tie up again, and Konosuke headlocks, Ospreay powers up but Konosuke holds on tight. Ospreay fights up, fires body shots, then powers out, only for Konosuke to run him over!

Things keep moving, Ospreay arm-drags to have the armlock! The fans fire up for Ospreay while Konosuke fights up. Konosuke pulls hair again, the ref counts, so Konosuke whips Ospreay to ropes.

Konosuke checks his legs then crawls over to Ospreay. Konosuke drags Ospreay up, whips him hard into railing, then soaks up the cheers and jeers from Boston. The Callis cosplayer cheers Konosuke on while he puts Ospreay in the ring. Cover, TWO! Ospreay’s still in this but Konosuke clamps onto Ospreay with a chinlock. Ospreay endures, fights up, but Konosuke clinches for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Konosuke then clamps right back on with the chinlock! Ospreay endures again while Konosuke leans on the hold. Ospreay fights up, Spring Breakthru returns to single picture, and the fans rally for Ospreay again.
Ospreay fires body shots, but Konosuke shoves him to ROCK him in the back! Ospreay drops to his knees, but Konosuke brings him back up. Konosuke reels Ospreay in, but Ospreay fights the lift with elbows. Konosuke shoves Ospreay again to again ROCK him in the back!

Both men writhe while the fans lose their minds again! Callis is worried for Konosuke while Ospreay rolls back inside. The ring count is climbing, Konosuke is still down at 7 of 10!

The fans cannot believe it and Callis is furious, but Ospreay escapes with nanoseconds to spare! Ospreay stirs and Konosuke crawls over to him. Konosuke and Ospreay go forehead to forehead, then stand to go forearm for forearm! The fans rally and duel, they sing for “OSPREAY~, OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY!” Konosuke ROCKS Ospreay, but he wobbles as he stays on his feet! Ospreay comes back to fire another forearm, but Konosuke ROCKS him again! Ospreay staggers around this time, but he grits his teeth as he fires back up! Ospreay fires a flurry of forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW staggers Ospreay again!

Konosuke flounders, but so does Ospreay, and Ospreay avoids the cover! The fans are electric while both men are down! Callis takes a deep breath while the standing count begins.

But Ospreay lands on his feet!! Konosuke is stunned, and then HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?!? HOW?!?! Ospreay goes back to the corner, throws off the elbow pad, but a POWER DRIVE KNEE finds him! RAGING- RANA!! Cover, TWO, but Ospreay just gets Konosuke’s legs! Ospreay drags Konosuke up, STYLES CLASH!!! Cover, TWO!?!??!!? What is Konosuke even made of?!? Boston is thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!”
Ospreay runs, HIDDEN- BACKSLIDE! TWO!! POWER DRIVE KNEE!!! Konosuke runs, but Ospreay slips through the lariat to underhook, lift, STORMBREAKER!!!! Cover, OSPREAY WINS!!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (advances to Double or Nothing)
Callis is furious, no more “Proto-shita” finals for him! Ospreay and Konosuke pushed the limits of what is even possible, but will Ospreay win the whole damn thing at Double or Nothing?

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS The Opps & ???
As mentioned at the start of the night, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta made sure The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil was in no shape to compete tonight. But even so, the Samoan Submission Specialist and The Wrestler will not let this opportunity at both gold and vengeance pass them by. The question is, will there be a new third man? Or will The Opps be caught lacking?
The Death Riders make their entrance in from the crowd as usual, which is pretty daring given how packed the venue is tonight. As for The Opps, we see Joe & Shibata step on stage, but they’re not alone! POWERHOUSE HOBBS IS HERE!! Will the Book of Hobbs have a chapter about ending the reign of terror? The introductions are made, but then the brawl is on! The fans fire up and the bell rings, Hobbs has Yuta, Shibata has Claudio, and Joe has Moxley! The fans fire up as Moxley spills out of the ring with Joe while Claudio drags Shibata outside. Yuta ducks ‘n’ dodges Hobbs, but then Hobbs CLOBBERS Yuta!
Claudio and Shibata trade heavy forearms, Joe SMACKS Moxley off the apron, and Hobbs whips Yuta to a corner. Yuta staggers, Hobbs CLOBBERS him again! Yuta flounders into the corner, the fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs whips Yuta corner to corner, runs in and SPLASHES! Hobbs shouts, “MEAT!” and the fans chant “MEAT!” with every big lariat! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs then grins as he winds up to “MEAT!” Moxley storms in and he CLUBS Hobbs! That just pisses Hobbs off! The fans tell Moxley he messed up! Moxley bails out, but then Yuta CLUBS Hobbs! Same result as with Moxley!
Hobbs scoops Yuta, carries him around, then hits a RUNNING POWERSLAM! Hobbs tags Joe and the fans cheer. Hobbs stands Yuta up for Joe to JAB! JAB! JAB! Joe fires hands high and low, backs Yuta into a corner, then fires up! RIDGE HAND CHOP! Joe whips corner to corner, runs up, and back ELBOWS, to then PELE! Yuta flops down, Joe stares Moxley down, and fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Joe drags Yuta up, CHOPS him in the corner, then tags Shibata. The fans fire up again as Shibata UPPERCUTS Yuta! And again! And then CHOPS! CHOPS! CHOPS! Shibata snapmares Yuta, runs, and he BOOTS Moxley!
Shibata then clamps onto Yuta and grinds him down. Yuta endures, pries at the hold, and fans taunt Yuta. Yuta fights up, powers up and out, but Shibata BOOTS Moxley again! Yuta CLUBS Shibata, then TOSSES Shibata out. Yuta distracts the ref so Claudio can run and THROW Shibata into railing! The fans boo but Hobbs backs Claudio off. The ref has Hobbs stay back, and Yuta goes out to fetch Shibata. Yuta drags Shibata into the ring, tags Moxley, and the fans boo as Moxley flips off Joe. Joe storms in, the ref stops him, and Moxley KICKS Shibata down! Tag to Claudio, the Death Riders mug Shibata. Claudio drags Shibata up but Shibata CHOPS!
Shibata CHOPS, Claudio eggs him on, repeat! Claudio blocks a chop to short arm LARIAT! Claudio soaks up the heat, then he stomps Shibata. The fans rally, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio drags Shibata up, pushes him to a corner, and UPPERCUTS! Claudio stomps Shibata, tags Moxley, and Moxley runs corner to corner to LARIAT! And then LARIAT! And LARIAT! Tag back to Claudio, the mugging continues, then Claudio tags Yuta. Yuta taunts Hobbs & Joe, Claudio stands Shibata up, and Yuta stomps Shibata down. The ref reprimands but Yuta hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Y uta clamps onto the leg for a toehold. Shibata endures, even as Yuta twists the ankle. Yuta drops an elbow on the knee, then tags Moxley. But then Joe & Hobbs storm in!
The ref stops Joe & Hobbs, Moxley taunts them, and then Moxley drags Shibata around. Moxley stomps Shibata, turns him over, and CLAWS Shibata’s back! The ref reprimands and counts as Moxley CLAWS Shibata more! Moxley fishhooks, the ref counts again, and Moxley pushes Shibata down at 4. Moxley drags Shibata up, has a facelock, and he drags Shibata over to the corner. Tag to Claudio, the mugging continues, and Claudio brings Shibata around for a BIG suplex! Cover, TWO! Shibata stays in this but Claudio stays on him with a top wristlock. Shibata endures, fights around, but Claudio knees him low!
Claudio pushes on the wristlock and grinds Shibata back down. Spring Breakthru returns to single picture while the fans rally behind Shibata. Shibata fights up, but Claudio TOSSES him out! Moxley storms up on Shibata, but Hobbs hurries over to stop that. The ref is busy with Claudio and Moxley, which lets Marina CHOP BLOCK Hobbs! The fans boo but Marina flips them all off. Yuta drags Shibata up and into the ring for Claudio, and Claudio eggs Shibata on. Claudio SLAPS Shibata, kicks him around, but Shibata CHOPS! Claudio ROCKS Shibata! Shibata CHOPS Claudio! Repeat! Claudio shoves Shibata, catches him to a SLEEPER, but Shibata slips around to get a SLEEPER!
The fans fire up as Claudio flails! Claudio JAWBREAKERS free, Shibata staggers into the Death Rider corner, but then Shibata BOOTS Claudio! Shibata crawls away from the corner, the fans rally up, but Claudio whips Shibata back in! BOOT for Moxley! Claudio and Shibata trade forearms again, and Shibata backs Claudio down!

Joe DECKS Yuta again and again, then atomic drops! Joe runs to BOOT Yuta down! And adds a SENTON! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this but Joe stays on him, only for Yuta to CLAW Joe’s eyes! Yuta runs, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, Moxley breaks it! Moxley tags in, then he goes looking under the ring! Moxley grabs a chair! The Maniac no longer cares about winning but about using Champion’s Advantage! The ref tells Moxley to stop right there, but then WILLOW NIGHTINGALE is here! She snatches the chair from Moxley! And she flips him off! Joe BOOTS Moxley down! Yuta goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK Joe!
Shibata BOOTS Yuta! Claudio POP-UP UPPERCUTS Shibata! Hobbs SPINEBUSTERS Claudio! Moxley SHOTGUNS Hobbs! Joe is back as Moxley runs, and Moxley BOOTS Joe! Joe LARIATS Moxley! All six men are down around ringside and Boston is thunderous! Willow coaches The Opps, but now The Young Bucks walk out here? The EVPs are surely going to sway things in the Death Riders’ favor now, given they grab some chairs. But wait! Someone in the crowd snatches Matt’s chair?! IT’S SWERVE STRICKLAND! And he DECKS Matt! Nick runs up, but Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, DOUBLE KILL STOMPS for The Bucks!!

The fans are thunderous, but Moxley drags Joe up! Underhooks and- NO, Joe wrenches out, COQUINA CLUTCH!!! Moxley is caught, and he’s RIGHT OUT! OPPS WIN!!
Winners: The Opps, by submission (NEW AEW World Trios Champions)
No more reign of terror in the trios division, this one was for Hook! Joe personally gives Hobbs the belt, the pyro goes off, and Boston is all fired up! The Death Riders retreat, and Will Ospreay leads the way as the AEW locker room comes out here to celebrate! The champagne bottles pop off and it’s a toast to The Opps, but perhaps we’re burying the lead as Joe took out THE AEW World Champion! Will Joe look to also dethrone “The One True King” and truly restore the feeling here in AEW?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode of Dynamite here, a lot more than I expected for a themed episode. At the same time, it was a lot of tournament and big story stuff, so they were of course going to go hard. I was a little surprised by the match order, but when they kayfabe’d away Hook being out of action, it did make sense for them to push the trios title to the main event. At the same time, bringing in Hobbs as the third man, adding a lot of overbooking and tying in more story, that was a great way to dethrone the Death Riders and close out the show. Hobbs being a champion again is great for him, and I really do think they should parley this into Joe VS Moxley for the world title at Double or Nothing.
Mercedes Mone VS Athena really could’ve been a main event in itself, but it was still an awesome match even as the opener. Mone winning is fine because Boston, and while I was thinking it’d be Mone VS Athena at All In for the TBS Championship, I suppose they could swing it where it is title for title, TBS Championship and ROH Women’s Championship both on the line. I say that because I still feel like Kris Statlander could be going to All In to face Toni. A little confusing as to why we can’t just get Kris VS Hayter tomorrow night, but Mone & Harley VS Kris & Julia will still be really good. It just feels like they’re giving away the Double or Nothing match just so Mone can have matches both nights in Boston.
Very good promo from The Patriarchy with Christian Cage now being passive aggressive towards Nick Wayne. I like how Christian is taking kayfabe credit for Nick getting in the Best of the Super Juniors, and I do like Nick VS Komander for Collision. No idea if Nick wins that match or not, as it’d be a shame if Nick’s storyline is the reason Komander’s reign comes to an end. But at the same time, how great would it be for the ROH World Television Champion to be part of BOSJ and that big round robin tournament? Though at the same time, something about what Christian said certainly made it feel like Nick will lose, so maybe not.
Great match from Hurt Syndicate VS Gates of Agony, even with Kaun & Liona obviously set up to fail. MJF of course showed up, and while I figured MJF would bribe Hurt Syndicate, I didn’t think it’d be with ladies. Also I think a few, if not all, of the ladies were wrestlers. The redhead was Sloane Jacobs, if I’m not mistaken. But great stuff with Lashley intimidating Shelton into voting against MJF. I feel like MJF should reveal he has been watching the episodes back cuz he wants to keep an eye on the Hurt Syndicate’s “private” conversations, and he can call out MVP for being two-faced saying the Syndicate would just be using MJF for their own gains.
Good promo from Hangman with The Elite, and Okada was cruising for a bruising. Josh Alexander was a great Wild Card, and he has a great match with Hangman, but it made sense for Hangman to win. Alexander possibly joining Callis Family with that bit after is intriguing, but Kyle is now on top going into their semifinal match. I would think that means Hangman wins to go to Double or Nothing. Ospreay VS Konosuke was insane, it might as well have been for the Owen Hart Cup already. Great win for Ospreay, and now even if Kyle defies go home math, Ospreay VS Hangman and Ospreay VS Fletcher are both awesome choices to put on PPV.
My Score: 9.1/10
