Will Ospreay VS Brian Cage w/ The Don Callis Family!

Huntsville, Alabama fires up already as The Aerial Assassin clashes with The Machine! Will the Don Callis Family make sure the Grand Slam: Australia super tag team match does NOT happen? Or will there be no denying The Best Bout Bruvs their vengeance?

The bell rings and the fans fire up again. Callis grabs a mic, though, and that ruins the mood. Callis tells Ospreay he has something very important to say.

Ospreay writhes, Cage gives Callis a hug, and Callis says Cage is a stud! Cage goes back for Ospreay in the ring, and he hoists Ospreay up.

The fans boo but Callis stands with his men. Omega tries to fight back but he just gets beat up more! We still don’t have an answer on who the newest Family member will be, but will Callis even need them if they can tear Omega & Ospreay apart before Grand Slam?

 

Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland.

Well, not quite, as Renee Paquette waits outside his locker room, hoping for a word about Ricochet’s threatening Prince Nana. Wait, Hangman Page barges through, and says no one is in there. Renee asks what Hangman is even doing, he says it is none of her business. Then can Hangman comment on Christopher Daniels announcing the end of his in-ring career? Nope, no time. But then Hangman literally bumps into MJF. These two stare down, but then Hangman moves on. MJF says unbelievable. The Cowboy walks around like he’s King S*it just because the fans like him. No matter what he does, Hangman did nothing wrong~!

But MJF even so much as breathes funny and it is all over for him. How hypocritical. MJF mutters to himself but Renee asks how he feels about Jeff Jarrett’s match where he could win a title opportunity with Moxley. Renee snaps MJF out of ranting to himself, and MJF apologizes, it’s the ADHD. But MJF is not gonna let anybody ruin his mood tonight. Because tonight, he proves his words aren’t just beautiful poetry but prophecy. Tonight, Double J learns that as MJF said, you’re better off making a deal with The Devil than defying him. Jarrett learns that the hard way when he goes out there alone to face one of the most dangerous men AEW has to offer in the man-horse, Claudio Castagnoli!

And that is all because of Jarrett’s narcissism, and his refusal of MJF’s sweetheart deal. MJF has a new offer, and unfortunately for Jarrett, it is one he can’t decline. It goes like this: The Last Outlaw’s Last Ride! Ain’t that great? MJF grins, but will he have to eat his words when Jarrett finds a way to defeat the Swiss Cyborg?

 

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs speaks.

“Unfortunately, Big Bill, I wasn’t cleared to travel to Dynamite tonight. But just as we went off that stage on Collision, I told we’re going to Hell. When I’m cleared to come back, I’m gonna show you that Hell is just the beginning.” When and where will The Book of Hobbs finish this chapter with The Redwood?

 

High Stakes: Jeff Jarrett VS Claudio Castagnoli!

Well, just as the Wolf of Wrestling said, The Last Outlaw is going up against the Death Rider’s workhorse, all for his shot at Jon Moxley and the AEW World Championship! Will Double J win here to go on to “the big one?” Or is this where Jarrett’s ride ends?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Jarrett. Jarrett and Claudio tie up, go around, go along ropes, and end up in a corner. The ref counts, Claudio lets off slowly, but then takes a swing! Jarrett avoids the cheap shot to UPPERCUT Claudio! Claudio headlocks, Jarrett powers up and out, but Claudio runs him over! Things keep moving, Jarrett drops down then arm-drags! And HIP TOSSES! Jarrett whips, JAPANESE ARM-DRAGS, and the fans fire up! Jarrett puts Claudio in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, but Claudio stops Jarrett at 4 to then atomic drop! Claudio runs, and he LARIATS Jarrett down! Cover, TWO!

Claudio argues with the ref but the count was fair. Claudio drags Jarrett up, reels him in, but Jarrett powers up to back drop free! But Claudio sunset flips, Jarrett rolls through, and Jarrett has the legs! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” while Claudio flails! Claudio crawls over to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Jarrett lets go fast, and the fans cheer while Claudio bails out. Jarrett waits on Claudio and the fans rally behind “DOUBLE J! DOUBLE J!” Claudio waves to the crowd? Oh, of course! Wheeler Yuta is here! The Decoder is dressed and ready for his match against Jay White, but he looks ready to go now if he has to!

Jarrett storms out and dares Yuta to do something, but the ref has Yuta stay back. Now Claudio waits on Jarrett in the ring, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref has Jarrett leave Yuta alone, and he tells Yuta to stay back. Jarrett returns to the ring, dodges Claudio and puts him on ropes! Jarrett runs to then STRADDLE ATTACK! The fans cheer as Jarrett does the Fargo Strut, then runs back in, only for Yuta to warn Claudio! Claudio dodges and TOSSES Jarrett out of the ring! The ref keeps Claudio from going out there, but that lets Yuta attack Jarrett! Yuta gets away with it all and Claudio goes out the side. Claudio SMACKS Jarrett off the barriers, then stalks him around the way. Claudio then lifts Jarrett to hit SNAKE EYES off railing! Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring and clamps on a COBRA CLUTCH!

Jarrett endures while Claudio thrashes him around. Jarrett fights up, fires body shots, but Claudio HOTSHOTS him on ropes! Jarrett sputters, Claudio kicks him out to the floor, and again the ref keeps Claudio in the ring. Yuta creeps up, but the ref senses him this time! Yuta backs off, Claudio goes out, and Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring. Claudio tells the ref not to worry about Yuta, but then Jarrett fires body shots! Jarrett ROCKS Claudio, fires more shots, but Claudio BOOTS him down! And hits a LEG DROP, brother! Cover, TWO! Claudio clamps onto Jarrett with a chinlock and grinds him down while Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally as Jarrett fights to his feet. Jarrett fires body shots, then powers Claudio to a corner. Jarrett whisp corner to corner but Claudio reverses, then follows in for an UPPERCUT! Snapmare and cover, TWO! Jarrett toughs it out and the fans rally some more. Claudio grabs the legs, but Jarrett kicks him away! Claudio comes back to DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, TWO! Jarrett stays in this and the fans cheer, but Claudio gives scuffing, mocking kicks. Claudio whips but Jarrett catches him for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up and both men stand. Claudio fires hands on Jarrett, then UPPERCUTS!

Claudio UPPERCUTS again and Jarrett staggers around. Claudio UPPERCUTS, Jarrett HAYMAKERS! They go back and forth, the fans cheer Jarrett but boo Claudio. Jarrett gets the edge but Claudio kicks low! Claudio winds up to UPPERCUT, but Jarrett DECKS him in return! The fans fire up with Jarrett and he swings more shots and even some KICKS! Jarrett trips Claudio, steps through, but Claudio BOOTS him away! Claudio runs up in the corner again, but Jarrett dodges! Claudio is stuck, Jarrett kicks at the free leg! Claudio hobbles around but Jarrett winds up, only for Claudio to block! Jarrett aims, but Claudio ducks the enzigiri!

Claudio grabs both legs, for the GIANT SWING!! Claudio goes around and around, but can only manage half a dozen rotations because of the damage to his own leg! Claudio steps through on Jarrett and turns him over, SHARPSHOOTER! The fans boo but Jarrett endures! Jarrett reaches out while Claudio sits deep! Yuta tells Jarrett to just tap out, but the fans rally! Jarrett powers up, pushes back, and he has Claudio’s legs! Jarrett has the SHARPSHOOTER! Jarrett does this for Owen! Claudio endures, but Yuta slides a chair in! Yuta then distracts the ref, Jarrett lets Claudio go, and Jarrett DECKS Yuta!

The fans cheer, but Claudio grabs the chair! The ref ushers Yuta out, but Jarrett dodges the chair! Jarrett wrenches Claudio, reels him in, but MOXLEY is here!! The Maniac hits a PARADIGM SHIFT!! The fans boo but Moxley & Yuta bail out so that Claudio can hook Jarrett up! GOTCH NEUTRALIZER!! And then he hauls Jarrett up again, GOTCH NEUTRALIZER AGAIN!! Cover, Claudio wins!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (denies Jeff Jarrett a world title match)

Marina Shafir is also ringside now, just to hold up the briefcase that holds the world title. The Death Riders screw Double J over, but it took almost ALL of them to do it! Is this a sign that they fear Double J’s grit and determination? As for the Last Outlaw, he slowly sits up from taking all those big shots, the fans cheering him on. Jarrett thanks the fans, but here comes MJF… Jarrett sighs while he struggles to stand up, and MJF struts out here with another stupid grin on his face. MJF goes right to the ring, mic in hand, and he tells Jarrett, “I just wanted to come out here to say…” HE CLOBBERS JARRETT WITH THE DYNAMITE DIAMOND RING!!

The fans boo as MJF grins again and stands over Jarrett. MJF picks the mic back up to say, “As you know, I truly respect my elders. And that’s precisely why I’m not gonna say I told you so.” MJF leaves Double J behind, but will the Scumbag actually man up and go for gold? Or is he just going to wait it out while The Maniac continues his reign of terror?

 

Backstage interview with Ricochet.

Renee is with the One & Only and says earlier today, she tried to get a word with Swerve Strickland, but he is nowhere to be found. But she has been informed that should Swerve interfere in Ricochet’s match tonight, Swerve will effectively forfeit the match the two of them were set to have next week in Atlanta. Really? Ricochet likes that. Because finally, Swerve is out of Ricochet’s business. Well, Renee knows Ricochet has a lot he wants to get off his chest, so what’s on his mind? Ricochet says no, no, we aren’t doing this right now. Look at how Ricochet is dressed. Does she take him for some kind of hoodlum?

No, they will do this in a more formal setting this Saturday on Collision. As for tonight, “the powers that be” have decided to further bully Ricochet by putting him in a match against AR Fox one week before one of the biggest matches in Ricochet’s career. So if you don’t mind, let him take care of that situation real quick. Renee wishes him luck but he says no need. The music hits and Ricochet makes his entrance. Will Dynamite be #OuttaThisWorld? Or will it be the Whole Fox’n Show?

Ricochet VS AR Fox!

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet is annoyed already and he talks trash on Huntsville. Ricochet and Fox circle, tie up, and Ricochet pulls hair to put Fox in a corner. The ref counts, the fans boo, but Ricochet lets off to then shove Fox. Ricochet eggs Fox on, Fox runs up, and Fox gets around to headlock. Ricochet powers up and out, Fox RUNS Ricochet over, then keeps moving. He RUNS Ricochet over again, then ducks a lariat to hit a headlock takeover. Ricochet rolls that to a cover, ONE and Fox holds onto the headlock. The fans cheer but Ricochet fights around. Ricochet fights up, fires body shots, then powers out.

Fox goes up the corner, Ricochet stops the rana but Fox mule kicks and FLYING STUNNERS! Ricochet staggers, Fox suplexes, SPINNING BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet tumbles out of the ring and the fans fire up. Fox feeds off that energy, then builds speed to FLY! Direct hit on Ricochet and the fans fire up again! Fox then whips Ricochet into barriers, runs in, and BOOTS Ricochet! The fans fire up while Ricochet staggers away. Fox bumps Ricochet off the barriers, CHOPS him, and then high-fives fans. Fox CLUBS Ricochet, has him on the apron and climbs up to join him. Fox fireman’s carries, but Ricochet slips into the ring!

Ricochet shoves Fox, then APRON HIP TOSSES him! Fox writhes on the floor while Ricochet soaks up the heat, Ricochet builds speed, but rolls to a stop and taunts the fans for thinking he’d give them something. The fans boo but Ricochet soaks it up, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ricochet RAMS into Fox, ROCKS him with a forearm, then snapmares him into a chinlock. Ricochet again digs his knee into Fox’s back, but Fox endures while the fans rally. Dynamite returns to single picture as Fox fights up.

Fox fires hands, runs, but into a DROPKICK! The fans boo but Ricochet tells them to shut up. Cover, TWO! Ricochet ELBOWS Fox in the head, then DECKS him! Ricochet stand Fox up but Fox fires forearms! Ricochet wobbles, Fox runs, but Ricochet SPINEBUSTERS Fox down! Ricochet scuffs Fox, and the fans boo as he pretends to be The People’s Champion! Ricochet runs to drop the PEOPLE’S MOONSAULT!

That was indeed #OuttaThisWorld, but Fox gave as good as he got right to the end! But Ricochet brings out the golden scissors!? BUT WAIT! SWERVE IS HERE! Swerve trips Ricochet and throws him into the barriers! The fans fire up as Swerve fires off on Ricochet, then throw shim around ringside! And then into steel steps! Ricochet sputters and Swerve snarls, and then Swerve puts Ricochet in the ring. But then Ricochet uses Fox as a shield! Ricochet even has the scissors against Fox’s neck to threaten him like he did Nana! Swerve stands down and Ricochet retreats. But with one week to go, will Ricochet enter Swerve’s House only to NOT make it out in one piece?

 

AEW shares a snippet from Closeup with Renee Paquette.

We got a little taste on Saturday during Collision, now we get a little more as Renee asks Jon Moxley about the AEW World Championship itself. From the moment Moxley won it, he’s kept it hidden. First a garbage bag, now the briefcase. Why is it Moxley is essentially holding this title hostage? Moxley asks back why anyone needs to see the belt. What does anyone get out of it? Do they want to take a picture of it? Is this a petting zoo? Why does anyone need to see it when they don’t know anything about it? They don’t understand it on any level. They don’t understand what a world championship means, what it is about, what it takes to be a world champion.

Moxley IS the AEW World Championship! He is the living definition of what it is to be a champion. Want to see it? Take a look at it, because it’s right here. HE is the AEW World Championship, it lives here. It isn’t something you hold, it isn’t something you show off, it isn’t something you take pictures with. It lives in the heart! It has to be cultivated, grown, forged in the white hot fires of struggle and combat. And as we heard from Collision, Moxley is trying to build a THOUSAND Moxleys! He wants to backfill AEW, so that means he must put them through what he went through, and maybe even worse.

The Maniac’s reign of terror is much deeper than we knew. But will it ever come to an end?

 

The Learning Tree speaks.

Chris Jericho says, “Hi, guys~! Welcome to another New York Minute, coming to you live this week from Huntsville, Alabama, home of the Crimson Toad.” Bryan Keith adds, “ROLL TOAD!” Jericho says a lot is going on with The Nueve, like his new movie, Dark Match, premiering in theaters and on Shudder this Friday night. It’s violent, it’s gory, it’s fun, just like The Learning Tree! But speaking of violent, we also saw last week on Collision, Big Bill took out Will Hobbs! Tells us about it, Redwood! Bill says what “LT” said last week really struck a chord with him. It is one thing for Bill to share the teachings of Jericho with the world, but it’s another to put those words into action.

Bill feels now that he understands Jericho’s words in a way that he never did before. He feels… Stronger. Jericho says yes, when he hears Bill say that, it makes Jericho very proud. Jericho is very proud… of himself, for being such a great mentor! And Jericho told Bill to take out Hobbs, but permanently. Bill didn’t do that, so Bill will have to work a little bit harder next time. But Bill will get that chance again this Saturday, as Jericho & Bad Apple Bryan Keith take on those other heathens who beat them in that 12 Man Tag at Maximum Carnage, The Outrunners! Jericho says the Outrunners claim to have been around for decades, but Jericho’s never seen them anywhere but AEW, EVER!

Keith says that’s a Mandela Effect! Jericho says this Saturday, The Youngest Men Alive get taught a lesson from the smartest men alive, and Big Bill will make Jericho proud for real this time. That’s all! Another New York Minute! Thanks, guys~! Jericho’s cocky smile turns into a sneer, but will he and Keith really bring down Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum? Or will the Learning Tree get a Total Recall?

 

Jay White VS Wheeler Yuta!

The Switchblade has been after The Death Riders for months now, and he especially owes The Decoder for all the underhanded ways he’s gotten involved in White’s title matches. Will Yuta learn to Breathe with the Switchblade? Or will he just ruin another night for Jay White?

White is wary as he puts his jacket aside. Yuta runs up, but White catches him to a clinch! BLADE- NO, Yuta slips free and bails out! White taunts Yuta, Yuta says the bell hasn’t even rung! Oh, he’s one to talk about playing fair! The ref has White back up and Yuta slowly steps back into the ring. The fans chant “YUTA SUCKS! YUTA SUCKS!” The bell rings now, but Yuta bails out again. The fans boo but Yuta takes his time coming back. White says it’s fine, he’s got time. Yuta paces, the ring count hits 5 of 10, and Yuta steps in again. They tie up, Yuta headlocks but White slips out to headlock in return.

Yuta pulls hair to put White in a corner but the ref counts. The fans boo, Yuta lets go, but White pulls Yuta’s beard! The fans cheer, the ref reprimands, but White brings Yuta around. Yuta breaks free but White CHOPS him! White takes another swing, Yuta ducks and wrenches the other arm to then wristlock. White spins, Yuta wrenches, repeat, but then White rolls. White wrenches and spins Yuta to CHOP it down! The fans cheer while White grabs a leg. White pushes the leg down to sit Yuta up, and White CHOPS Yuta down again! And again! White pushes the leg down a third time, Yuta stays down, so White stomps him!

Yuta sputters, sits up, and White CHOPS him yet again! Yuta goes to a corner, White brings him around, but Yuta kicks. White blocks, and CHOPS! White whips, Yuta reverses but White reverses back to CHOP! White runs, sniffs out the backdrop and KICKS Yuta! White whips, then BACKDROPS Yuta! The fans cheer, Guns Up for the Huntsville Gold Members! Yuta avoids the chop, comes back, but White pops Yuta up to sit on the top rope! The fans cheer while Yuta clutches his death rider, and then White CHOPS him to the floor! Yuta crawls, White goes out after him, and White CHOPS Yuta again! The fans “WOO~!” while Yuta sputters.

White refreshes the ring count, drags Yuta up and SMACKS him off the barrier! White refreshes the count yet again, and fans want more! White SMACKS Yuta off the barriers again! The ref wants this in the ring, White says give him a minute, but Yuta dropkicks White’s leg! Yuta goes to the apron, but White yanks him down! White swings, Yuta dodges, and he drop toeholds White into the apron! White sputters and wobbles, Yuta SHOVES him into steel steps! White falls back, Yuta argues with the ref, and then Yuta SLAMS White’s leg into the steel steps! And he does it again! The ring count climbs again, but Yuta drags White around.

Yuta traps White’s leg in the frame of the ring! Yuta STOMPS the leg! The fans boo but Yuta pushes White into the ring. White rolls away, clutching that knee, but Yuta stalks him. White CHOPS, but Yuta stomps White! Yuta hooks the leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Yuta keeps White down with a leglock, and he drops a KNEE on the knee! White endures while Yuta keeps the leg trapped. Yuta flexes while soaking up the heat, but White pulls hair. Yuta steps through for a spinning toehold! White endures, Yuta mocks the clapping, but White KICKS at Yuta with his free leg. Yuta GROUND DRAGON SCREWS White!

White crawls away to the ropes, goes to the apron, but Yuta kicks him to the floor. Yuta goes out but White CHOPS him down! The fans fire up, but Yuta trips White! Yuta SLAMS the bad leg into the LED barriers! And though Excalibur said it a few seconds ago, now Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Yuta drags White around the way, puts him back in the ring, and he pushes White to a cover. TWO, but Yuta keeps White down for another cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed, White CHOPS him but Yuta SLAPS White! Yuta has the toehold and twists the foot. White CLAWS Yuta’s back but Yuta TWISTS the ankle! Yuta steps through for another toehold, then ties the legs up in a deathlock! Yuta stands and taunts White. White grabs Yuta’s beard, but Yuta breaks free to bridge back! White endures, reaches out, and he crawls around. Yuta taunts White to go for the ropes, and White flails as he inches closer.

White fights and fights, and finally has the ROPEBREAK! Yuta mockingly applauds while the ref counts, and Yuta lets the leglock go at 4. Yuta stomps White, has him in the corner, and then he puts the bad leg on the ropes. Yuta stands on the bad leg, the ref counts, and Yuta steps off at 4. Yuta argues with the ref, but White stands up to CHOP! White hobbles Yuta CHOPS him in return! White flops into the corner, but he CHOPS in return! Yuta ROCKS White with a forearm, then stalks him along the ropes. White stands to ROCK Yuta! White hobbles as he storms up on Yuta, and Yuta ROCKS White back!

Dynamite returns to single picture, White CHOPS again, but Yuta KICKS the bad leg! White flops against the ropes and Yuta mocks the fans. White comes back to CHOP! The fans rally, Yuta storms up, but White CHOPS again! White roars, the fans fire up, but Yuta kicks the bad leg! White falls back, Yuta mocks the roar, then he storms up on White in the corner. Yuta hoists White up to the top rope, “YUTA SUCKS!” but he CLAWS White’s eyes! Yuta climbs up behind White, but White fights the lift! White CLUBS Yuta again and again, then ELBOWS him! Yuta falls off the corner, White slips down, and White swings.

Yuta dodges, but White blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW! Now Yuta hobbles around, and White is on Yuta in the corner! White puts Yuta up top, climbs up the ropes, but Yuta fires body shots! Yuta BITES White’s forehead! White drops back, the ref reprimands, but Yuta hops down. White LARIATS in the corner! And then he hoists Yuta back up! White climbs to the very top, and hits a SUPER DUPER PLEX! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this but White is focused. Both men stand, White storms up on Yuta, and White JABS, JABS, and CHOPS! Then JAB! JAB! CHOP! White reels Yuta in to clinch, but Yuta fights with forearms!

White KNEES low, clinches again, URE- NO, Yuta arm-drags to a lateral press! TWO and White has a ghost pin! TWO, both men stand, and Yuta swings! White catches him, spins him to the SLEEPER, but Yuta spins free and CHOP BLOCKS the bad leg! Yuta then clamps on and turns White over, HALF CRAB! The fans boo but Yuta pulls on that leg! White endures, reaches out, and fights to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Yuta lets go, shouting, “I have ’til five!” Yuta acts like he’s Bryan Danielson here, then he goes back to White. Yuta drags White up, wrenches and lifts, but White fights free!

White hobbles on the bad leg, Yuta runs up to KICK the leg out! The fans boo but Yuta hits the PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO!! White survives and Yuta is frustrated, but Yuta clamps onto White with HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! White glares at Yuta, blocks a shot, and then arm-drags free! Yuta comes back, into the URENAGE! Both men are down but the fans rally behind White, White drags himself up with ropes, drags Yuta up into the clinch, but Yuta slips free! Schoolboy, with tights! TWO!! White CHOPS Yuta, Yuta rewinds in the ropes and slips around, GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!!

White escapes, Yuta is furious, and Yuta hurries right to a corner! Yuta climbs, even with his own bad leg, and he DIVING- NO, he has to roll through as White dodges. Yuta ELBOWS White away, then powers up the leg! Yuta runs in, BUSAI- NO, White catches Yuta outta the air, BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall

White snatches that one away in the blink of an eye, but he isn’t done! White stands Yuta up again, for another BLADERUNNER! The fans want that “One More Time!” so White says why not! White hobbles back to Yuta, but here comes Moxley & Marina! White sees The Maniac on the apron, but then Claudio slips in from behind! Claudio CLOBBERS White, and now he and Moxley stomp away on White! Yuta flounders, but here comes Rated FTR!! Cope, Dax & Cash run The Death Riders off, but Moxley grins as he dares Cope to come get him. Cope helps White up, and Dax gets a mic.

“It’s a little different, huh? It’s a little different because it’s even, it’s an even fight right now. Death Riders, I know how you operate. And here’s the thing, I don’t hate how you operate. But what I do hate is when you try to end a 67-year-old man who is my idol, Ricky Morton. That’s what I got a problem! Right now, tonight, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, one half of the greatest tag team, The Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey, is here! In Dennis Condrey’s name, on Collision, FTR VS The Death Riders, in a Midsouth Street Fight!” The fans like the sound of that! Dax says, “See y’all there.” Will the Top Guys make sure The Death Riders finally get what they deserve?

 

Renee Paquette is on stage.

She welcomes out the AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May! The Glamour walks out on stage, says it is great to be in Huntsville, “but looking around, maybe we should change the first letter to a C?” The fans get what she means, but Renee moves things along. We have seen the metamorphosis of “Timeless” Toni Storm, who Mariah will be defending the title against at Grand Slam: Australia. Mariah seemed a bit shaken- Oh, wow, we’re doing this? Toni Storm playing the part of Toni Storm, the RETURN~ of Toni Storm! This isn’t real, Renee! None of it is! Toni Storm is NOT real! Mariah then snatches the mic from Renee while the fans chant “TONI! TONI!”

Mariah scowls at the fans, then says, “You want to play the role of Toni Storm? Okay, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who gave her heart to a woman who used her for her gold? No, no, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who’s most memorable moment was bleeding and crying in my hands?” The fans boo but Mariah says maybe Toni should play the Toni who walked out of Wembley Stadium and Japan and Mexico, because she couldn’t touch Mariah. Mariah smirks while fans boo, and Mariah says Toni can play whatever Toni she’d like, because the ending stays the same. Mariah doesn’t need to rope play. When you’re this good, you don’t need to change a thing.

Mariah says, “I am the Woman From Hell, and I always will be. And I will remind you for the rest of your life. Look now and never forget, for this is your AEW Women’s World Champion!” Mariah holds up the title, but with just over two weeks left, will she lose it all to the woman she took it all from?

 

AEW checks on on The Gunns.

Austin & Colten have been watching from home, looking back on their rise to the top, and working on making it back. When and where will it be #GunnsUp again?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of Jericho & Keith VS The Outrunners, we will see Samoa Joe & Hook team up against Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian! Will The Patriarchy’s “sons” be able to stop the Samoan Submission Machine and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil? Then, after hearing Mariah speak tonight, “Timeless” Toni Storm will give her response! And then, after the tense stare downs from last week’s Homecoming, Daniel Garcia is putting up his TNT Championship in a Triple Threat! Kyle O’Reilly and Lee Moriarty are stepping up, but will either of them take this title from Red Death?

 

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

Montel Vontavious Porter says, “Normally, we would gloat. But we’re gonna celebrate. First, because we’re classy gentlemen who conduct business, I would like to recognize the former AEW Tag Team Champions, Private Party. Zay, Quen, they’re warriors, they fought hard. It wasn’t their fault they ran into the most devastating tandem in ALL of professional wrestling. These tag team titles are going to stay here as long as we want them. We are putting everyone on notice. The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley. The Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin. Hurt Syndicate will accept any challenge from any challenger. Any time, any place.

“We are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” Then who will dare step up against this dangerous and powerful pair?

 

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Don Callis himself says, “We are the true one-percenters of professional wrestling.” Konosuke Takeshita is not only the AEW International Champion, he is the NEVER Openweight Champion after defeating Shingo Takagi at WrestleKingdom 19 and Tomohiro Ishii at WrestleDynasty. They will do what they do everywhere in the world, whatever ring they step into, and win 1-2-3! Will that be the case when AEW arrives in Australia?

 

The Vendetta speak.

Taya Valkyrie has the cameraman come in close. “Moments from now, we’re gonna witness Mercedes Mone defend her TBS Championship VS Yuka. UGH!” Deonna Purrazzo says, “We both know that could have been me, it should have been me, and it would have been me, if it wasn’t for Harley Cameron.” Taya says Harley loves sticking her “balloons” where they don’t belong, and Deonna says this world wasn’t built for women like them. That is why they must TAKE what they deserve. So Harley, now you belong to The Vendetta. Saturday Night Collision, they are coming to collect. The Virtuosa then dismisses the cameraman, will Harley pay for doing the right thing?

 

AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Yuka Sakazaki!

The CEO may be the FOUR-BELT BOSS, but she is still up for a challenge. She turned down Harley Cameron as Harley hasn’t won anything on AEW TV, ever. But then Harley made sure the Wrestling Magical Girl had a fair chance in Homecoming’s Fatal 4 Way last Saturday Night Collision. Will Yuka thank Harley for that by defeating Mone? Or will The CEO still be the Face of TBS?

The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see if Mone holds onto the hardware!

The bell rings and the two circle. Mone and Yuka tie up, go around, and the fans are on Yuka’s side. Mone wrenches, wristlocks, but Yuka spins, wrenches, and wristlocks in return. Mone rolls, kips up, and wrenches to hammerlock. Yuka endures, fights up and spins around to top wristlock! Mone slips under but Yuka headlocks. Mone powers out to headlock in return, but Yuka powers up to power out. Mone RUSN Yuka over, soaks up the heat while she does her dance, but Yuka kips up! Yuka wags her finger, runs, and she jumps over the dropdown. Things keep moving, and Yuka RUNS Mone over! The fans cheer and Yuka does her own CEO dance!

Mone swipes, Yuka jumps it, and she snapmares Mone! Mone bridges up and snapmares Yuka, but Yuka bridges up! Mone shoves Yuka, but Yuka avoids the arm-drag! The fans cheer as Yuka body scissors, and she rolls Mone around and around, and around again! Cover, TWO! Mone escapes and then ducks a sliding lariat! Ghost pin, TWO! Mone CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” and Mone grins. Yuka swings, Mone blocks her and goes up, up, and then FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Mone dusts herself off while Yuka tumbles away. Yuka bails out, Mone builds speed, but Yuka blocks the basement dropkick! Yuka spins Mone around, then says neener-neener!

Mone kicks, Yuka ducks it, but Mone grabs Yuka by the hair! Mone says you wanna neener-neener HER?! Mone whips, Yuka goes up the apron and TIGER FEINT KICKS Mone down! The fans fire up with Yuka and she goes up the corner! Mone stands, Yuka aims, but Mone scrambles away! The fans boo and Yuka pouts. Yuka hops down while Mone wags her finger. Yuka goes to the apron, kicks, but Mone blocks! Mone trips Yuka, Yuka hits the apron, and then Mone goes up! METEORA to the floor! The CEO does her dance again, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Mone soaks up heat while the ref checks Yuka. Yuka’s still in this, so Mone stands her up. Mone brings Yuka around the ring in a mocking victory lap, then THROWS her into the apron! Mone CHOPS Yuka, puts her in the ring, then covers, TWO! Yuka stays in this and Mone is frustrated already. Mone drags Yuka up, brings her around, and bumps her off buckles. Mone stomps a mudhole into Yuka, stands on her, then steps off as the ref counts. Mone runs back in, but she blocks Yuka’s boot! Yuka tries another kick, Mone blocks that, and Mone puts Yuka in the ropes. Mone ROCKS Yuka, then hits the STOCK DROP! Cover, TWO!

Yuka stays in this and Mone is annoyed. Mone storms back up on Yuka, drags her up by her hair, then scoops her, only for Yuka to slip free! Yuka has the arms for a motorcycle stretch, but then throws Mone down into a cover, TOW! Mone hurries to her feet and she DROPKICKS Yuka down! Yuka flounders, but she still kicks Mone from below. Mone stomps away on Yuka, drags her up and scoops again, for the SLAM! Mone kneels on the cover, TWO! Yuka stays in this but Mone stays on her by clamping on a chinlock. Yuka endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Mone THROWS Yuka down by her hair, then dusts herself off.

Mone soaks up more heat, KNEES Yuka in the back again and again and again, then puts her in the motorcycle stretch! Yuka endures, fights up to her feet, but Mone pushes her back down! Mone pulls on the arms but Yuka still endures! Yuka fights up, Mone cranks the arms, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Yuka still fights and the fans rally behind her. Yuka kicks Mone, ROCKS her, then fires more shots! Mone shoves Yuka, blocks a kick, and KNEES Yuka! Mone reels Yuka in, puts one out, and lifts Yuka, but Yuka RANAS Mone away! The fans fire up while Yuka goes to a corner. Mone runs in, but Yjka dodges! Mone crashes into buckles!

Mone falls back, hobbles up, and Yuka GAMANGIRIS! Yuka then springboards up, up, balances herself, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up again and Yuka brings Mone up. Yuka suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mone stays in this but Yuka runs, SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mone survives again but Yuka keeps her cool. Yuka suplexes Mone again, but Mone slips free and spins Yuka around! Mone suplexes, Una Amiga! Then Dos Amigas! The fans boo but Mone hits THREE AMIGAS! Cover, TWO!! Yuka survives and Mone is frustrated. Mone shakes her head, drags Yuka around and stomps her down.

Mone steps on Yuka, heads for the corner, and fans boo as Mone climbs. Mone grins as she gives some Latina Heat, but Yuka is up! Yuka runs up to UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Yuka climbs and fires forearms! The fans count along, Yuka hits TEN, and then brings Mone up! SUPERPLEX! Both women are down but the fans fire up! Yuka crawls her way over, covers, TWO!! Mone survives and Yuka grows a bit frustrated. Yuka drags Mone up, wrenches and hammerlocks, then she picks Mone up! MERRY-GO- NO! Mone slips free, Gory Especial, MONEY- NO!! Yuka lands out!! SUPERKICK!

Mone staggers around, Yuka wrenches and hammerlocks again! MERRY-GO-ROUND~ FACEBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Mone still survives and now Yuka is angry! Mone crawls to a corner, Yuka runs in, but Mone ELBOWS her away! Mone goes up to get Yuka for DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! And then BACKSTABBER into the STATEMENT MAKER!! Yuka endures the crossface, reaches out, rolls Mone, TWO!! Mone swings, misses, and Yuka ROLLING ELBOWS! Mone drops to her knees, Yuka rolls her into the SEATBELT! TWO!! Mone escapes and goes back to a corner. Yuka runs up, blocks boots, and she puts Mone in the ropes!

Yuka ENZIGIRS, then DRAPING GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans are thunderous while Mone flounders! Yuka goes up the ropes, MAGICAL GIRL SPLASH onto knees!! Mone saves herself, cradles Yuka, TWO!! Yuka escapes, but Mone KNEES her in the face! And then a POWERBOMB! Mone flips Yuka over, hooks her into the Gory Especial, MONEY MAKER!! Cover, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

Mone got quite the fight from Yuka, but she not only holds onto this title, but she stays the FOUR BELT BOSS! Will anyone ever end The CEO’s world domination?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, and it moved rather smoothly. I can’t be sure, but it felt like there was less talking and more story told through action. Great opening match from Ospreay VS Cage, and they hit all the beats: Omega got attacked backstage; Ospreay still wins despite Archer and Callis getting involved; Don Callis Family beats Ospreay up; Omega makes the save; Don Callis Family still beats him and Ospreay up. I feel like the teaser of the “sixth man” was a little soon if Ospreay & Omega were still going to be on the defensive, but maybe we’ll see the reveal during the tag match for Grand Slam: Australia. It would certainly be a big moment for their newest “biggest show.”

Plus, great story intertwining, it was a bit like the AEW of old. Hangman looking for Swerve but not finding him, then bumping into MJF was good stuff. MJF of course talked smack on Jarrett before Jarrett VS Claudio, and Jarrett VS Claudio was some great stuff. But wow, Moxley needing to get involved to screw over Jarrett? I feel like Claudio could’ve just given Jarrett a low blow and it would’ve been the same. But I suppose Jarrett really being down and out gave MJF his opening to add on, which of course all but guarantees we’re getting MJF VS Jarrett, probably also for Grand Slam: Australia. Again, it’s AEW’s new big special, they’re not having MJF miss that.

Ricochet had a good promo getting all cocky because he thought he was safe, and then he had a great match against AR Fox. Swerve appearing from under the ring (at least I think that’s where he was, the cameras didn’t catch where he came from) was great, and he got to beat up on Ricochet a bit. Ricochet still got away before Swerve could truly stand tall, but this was the go-home to their match next week in Atlanta, and Swerve certainly has the edge on Ricochet. That would usually indicate Swerve loses, and I could see Ricochet cheating to do it. I feel like they could easily set a bigger, better match for Grand Slam, maybe even Revolution, we’ll have to wait and see.

Good snippet from that Moxley interview for Closeup, thought it didn’t add too much to what we got on Collision last week. White VS Yuta was a great match, and while White won, the Death Riders of course came out to go after him. That then of course brought out Rated FTR, but surprisingly no brawl. FTR putting out the challenge for the Midsouth Street Fight is good stuff, and that match will be some awesome stuff, and also hard to call. We also got a good vignette from The Gunns, so maybe we will get them returning to help White against the Death Riders, and then we can actually get a World Trios Championship already.

Good promo from Hobbs to explain why he couldn’t be here tonight, and this was surely legit given that wild fall off the stage in Daily’s Place. Any number of bumps, scrapes, bruises and such could’ve happened when crashing down through tables and hitting the ground, and Hobbs is still only just returning from injury, they can’t risk him getting injured again. Good “New York Minute” from The Learning Tree, but the highlight was Jericho’s continued condescending towards Big Bill. Bill really needs to turn on Jericho before this story is over, and I’d love if Bill also ranted about all the things Jericho got wrong about the USA while trying to be “The King of New York.”

Good promo from Mariah to respond to that confrontation with Toni Storm, and Toni’s promo on Collision will surely be good stuff. Good promo from Vendetta, I feel like whatever match they have with Harley should end up Harley’s win. Then Harley can throw that win in Mone’s face because she wants that title shot in Australia. Speaking of, awesome main event from Mone VS Yuka, probably one of Yuka’s best matches in AEW. But of course Mone won, she’s been going strong and probably will keep going until Kamille comes back or we get another crossover of AEW, NJPW and other partners, aka Forbidden Door: London.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

The fans are already fired up as Tony welcomes us to AEW Dynamite in New Orleans! “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me to begin this program, multi-platinum recording artist, entrepreneur, and University of New Orleans’ own ‘Coach P,’ ladies and gentlemen, MASTER P!” The fans fire up again as indeed, THE Master P, the hip hop legend and the owner of House of Glory Wrestling, makes his way to the ring! P says what up New Orleans! It’s AEW Dynamite, UNHHH~! It is his pleasure to introduce to us the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, THE OPPS! “Make ’em say UNHHH~!”

The fans cheer even more as Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata and “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs make their way out, wearing those University of New Orleans Pirates colors! Samoa Joe gets himself a mic to say, “Lemme try that one one time. Make ’em say UNHHH~!” “UNHHH~!” “Nana nana!” Master P says it is about to get rowdy rowdy, ’bout it ’bout it! Joe says yes, sir! It is good to be here tonight! Because you see, The Opps have come to celebrate. The fans like the sound of that! Joe says before that, props to big brother Master P. Joe thanks P for the introductions, and for everything he does for this great city. Joe appreciates it, he knows the people appreciate.

Joe says BigBlueUNO.com, see what P is doing for the student athletes here. Master P says there’s always love for the student athletes. Master P is Coach P, there’s nothing but love for this city. Joe says that’s a good thing, because they love New Orleans, too. When they thought about the best city to celebrate a championship win, it’s right here in New Orleans! But wait, the Death Riders are here to ruin the fun. Well, Marina Shafir comes out from the back, but Wheeler Yuta rushes in from the ramp! He CLOBBERS Shibata, Claudio CLOBBERS Hobbs, and Moxley uses the briefcase to CLOBBER Joe! The fans boo and Master P can’t believe it!

Claudio drags Hobbs out, Yuta keeps after Shibata, and then Hobbs is sent into steel steps! Moxley CHOKES Joe, Marina is there to hold Joe down, and then Moxley stomps Joe! The fans boo but Master P stands his ground! The fans cheer on the coach but this is still a 3v1 situation. Moxley steps to Master P, and then Master P chuckles…? Because JOE IS BACK UP! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH on Moxley! Shibata and Hobbs drag Yuta & Claudio from the ring to fire in return! Master P even gets some shots on Mox! The fans fire up as the tables have turned on the Death Riders! P laughs as Moxley goes out, again!

Master P says this is New Orleans, right? They want all the smoke! This about to be a problem. Go ahead, put ’em to sleep! But wait, The Elite rushes out here! And Matthew Jackson has a chair! He SMACKS Joe down to free Moxley! Master P hurries out of there now, there’s a lot more going on. The fans boo as the Death Riders turn the tables back around. The Bucks say you’re welcome, Moxley. But then Marina steps in and keeps Moxley from retaliating, And then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE! The fans fire up as now the Realest is on the scene! Joe gets back up again, The Elite retreat now that things are getting complicated.

But then Kenny Omega makes his way out here! And The Cleaner has a chair of his own! The Elite scurry after where The Death Riders made their exit! The fans fire up as AEW International Champion stands with the World Trios Champions and the Most Dangerous Man in AEW. Then these five look to each other, and Joe grabs the mic again. “In respect to whose house it is, nice to see you again, brother. I will say this: JON MOXLEY! You wanted me, now you have me. I’m gonna beat your ass, choke you out, and ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be taking back my AEW World Championship.” The mission statement has been issued, but will all part of “Team AEW V3” be okay with that?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Renee Paquette is with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna, and the youngest ever singles champion in ROH or AEW history, the NEW ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. A huge congratulations to Nick, but Christian says actually, the congratulations should all go to him. He even takes the belt from Nick! Christian says Nick would agree that if not for The Patriarch, Nick would not be standing here the champion. Because Christian is the one who forced Nick to step out of his shell, find himself, spread his wings and truly become what it is Christian’s always known Nick to be, and that’s The Prodigy.

Christian still says they’re all proud of Nick. They all celebrated. In fact, Christian and Shayna celebrated Nick’s victory extensively, later that night. Nick scowls but Christian says, “Do you see what happens, Nick, when you listen? When you shut your mouth, you open your ears, and you actually listen to me?! Good things happen, and I always tell the truth, don’t I?” Nick asks Christian if he sees what happens when you actually stick to the plan: You actually win championships. Nick tries to take his belt back, but Christian holds onto it. Christian then willingly gives it over, and says, “I love my family.”

Christian storms off, and neither Kip nor Shayna is really sure what to make of this. Is there about to be a new head of the household now that Nick’s standing up for himself?

 

Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe!

The One & Only is brushing off the losses that have plagued him in hopes of reaching his goal of gold in AEW. However, will he #ReachForTheSky against the Sussex County Chicken? Or can Ricochet #ManUp against the former ROH World Heavyweight Champion?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, the fans taunt Ricochet with, “OH~ Ricochet’s Bald~!” Ricochet is annoyed, and he goes out to bond with the fan in the front row who is also bald! He claims everyone else is making fun of this guy, too! In fact, isn’t Mark bald? Why aren’t people talking Mark for being bald?! The fans chant, “You Aren’t Mark! You Aren’t Mark!” The two tie up, Ricochet powers Mark back, but Mark turns things around to corner Ricochet. The ref has Mark back off and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Mark reset, feel things out, but Ricochet goes to the ropes for defense.

The fans boo but Mark waits on Ricochet. Ricochet and Mark circle, feel things out, but again Ricochet is in a corner. The ref backs Mark off, and then Ricochet runs up! But Mark blocks a shot to fire hands in return! Mark keeps Ricochet from escaping to ROCK him again! And again! Mark whips, Ricochet reverses, and Ricochet drops down, hurdles over, but Mark follows to ROCK him with a forearm! Mark kicks low, then runs, and he BOOTS Ricochet! Ricochet staggers, Mark BOOTS him outta the ring! The fans fire up and Mark WRECKS Ricochet with a dropkick! The fans fire up more as Mark drags Ricochet up and CHOPS!

Mark stalks Ricochet, UPPERCUTS him, then keeps Ricochet from escaping into the crowd. Mark CHOPS Ricochet again! Ricochet ROCKS Mark, goes for the ring, but Mark drags him back out! Mark swings, Ricochet dodges, and Ricochet goes up the apron, Mark joins in and dares Ricochet to fight. Ricochet kicks, Mark blocks, and he spins Ricochet for a waistlock. Ricochet fights the lift, elbows free, but Mark clinches! Ricochet CLUBS away on Mark, then BOOTS him! Mark falls back, Ricochet taunts the fans and he taunts Mark. Ricochet scuffs Mark, taunts the fans, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!

The fans fire up as Ricochet falls to the floor! Mark takes aim, BANG BANG! FOLEY ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up and Mark puts Ricochet in the ring. Cover, TWO! Ricochet stays in this, but Mark CHOPS him! Mark shines up Ricochet’s head to then ROCK him with a right! Mark brings Ricochet around to suplex, but Ricochet slips free! Ricochet O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Mark kicks low, then whips Ricochet to ropes. Ricochet grabs ropes, but Mark blocks a boot! UPPERCUT! Ricochet goes to a corner, Mark runs in, but Ricochet uses the ref as a shield! Then Ricochet YANKS Mark into the ropes!

The fans boo but Ricochet brings Mark up to shove him into more ropes! Mark sputters, Ricochet builds speed, and Ricochet WRECKS Mark with a dropkick! Ricochet taunts the fans, taunts Mark, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ricochet take a moment to catches his breath, then he storms over to Mark to CLUB him on the back! Ricochet drags Mark up to RAM him into the apron! Then Ricochet smooths his eyebrows and beard, talks trash on some fans, then takes a fans’ sign to SMACK Mark with it! Mark CHOPS Ricochet! Ricochet CHOPS Mark! Ricochet puts Mark in the ring, CLOBBERS him, then rains down fists! T he ref reprimands, the fans taunt Ricochet, and Ricochet argues with the ref before going back for Mark. Ricochet shines Mark’s head before he throws hands, and he SLAPS Mark on the head! Mark just gets mad, Ricochet SLAPS him again!

Ricochet mocks the fans for mocking his baldness, and he BOOTS Mark down! Ricochet digs his knee into Mark’s neck, then acts like that’s a cover! The ref reprimands, Ricochet “apologizes” and covers Mark properly, TWO! Mark is tougher than that, so Ricochet brings him up, only for Mark to fire hands! Mark runs, but into a DROPKICK! Ricochet struts and soaks up the heat, then he goes back to cover Mark. TWO, and Ricochet clamps onto Mark with a chinlock. Mark endures, even as Ricochet digs a knee into his back. Mark fights up, fires body shots, but Ricochet knees low! Ricochet whips Mark to a corner, but Mark goes up and out!

Ricochet runs up, Mark blocks a shot to ROCK Ricochet! Mark then climbs, leaps, but Ricochet avoids the ax handle! Mark comes back, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but then Ricochet dodges to CUTTER! Dynamite returns to single picture as Ricochet covers, TWO! Ricochet is frustrated but the fans fire up. Ricochet brushes that off to then go to the corner. Ricochet goes up, says this is for the fans. AX- atomic drop! The fans fire up as Mark dares Ricochet to take a shot. Ricochet swings, Mark dodges and Mark CHOPS! And CHOPS! And fires a flurry of forearms! Mark whips, Ricochet reverses, but Mark FLYING FOREARMS!

The fans fire up as Ricochet flounders to a corner. Mark runs up to LARIAT, and BULL- NO, Ricochet stops that, only for Mark to SLAP, SLAP, SLAP the bald head! Then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet survives but the fans rally up behind Mark. Mark drags Ricochet up, but Ricochet grabs the ropes. Mark pulls Ricochet free, but Ricochet slips down and dragon sleepers, only for Mark to drop down and victory roll! TWO, and Mark hurries, only for Ricochet to trip! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Mark brings Ricochet up to Canadian Rack, but Ricochet slips free and backslides! TWO, and Ricochet NORTHERN LIGHTS!

Ricochet rolls through and deadlifts to a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! The fans are thunderous as Mark survives again! Ricochet keeps taunting Mark, but Mark SLAPS Ricochet! The fans fire up, Ricochet runs back in, and he RAMS Mark in the corner! Then GAMANGIRI from the apron! Ricochet springboards, but Mark catches him! EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet is tougher than that, but Mark has more to give! Mark underhooks Ricochet, but Ricochet fights the lift! Ricochet wrenches out, but Mark fireman’s carries! ROLLING DEATH VALLEY, and then Ricochet sits up into the SLIDING LARIAT!

Mark calls his shot and the fans fire up! Mark climbs up, aims, and FROGGY- NO, Ricochet moves! Mark rolls through, Ricochet runs up, but Mark puts him on the apron! Mark blocks the gamangiri, but Ricochet blocks the haymaker to HOTSHOT! Mark falls, Ricochet springboards, 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Mark survives again and the fans are thunderous! Ricochet is in shock, and he goes to the corner. The fans chant, “You Still Suck!” and Ricochet gets mad. Mark gets up to UPPERCUT! Mark climbs up, Ricochet CLUBS away on him!

Underhooks and- NO, Ricochet RAMS Mark into the corner! The fans cheer ‘A E DUB” for giving us this match. Ricochet runs up, Mark dodges, but Ricochet ELBOWS him down! Ricochet highs tacks, feet on ropes, TWO!! Mark has the prawn hold, AND WINS!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

Ricochet couldn’t win the International Championship, he couldn’t win his share of $400,000, and now he loses to Chicken! The fans celebrate with Mark, but Ricochet’s a sore loser! He grabs a chair and JAMS Mark up with it! The fans boo, but Ricochet SMACKS Mark on the back! And SMACKS him again! The fans boo more while Mark writhes, but Ricochet brings out the GOLDEN SCISSORS! But wait! Kevin Knight rushes out here! The Jet DECKS Ricochet! He dares Ricochet to try something, then he stands on the scissors! Ricochet runs away! Kevin says he’ll cut Ricochet’s beard!

Knight then checks on Mark. Mark is alright, and the fans cheer. We even see Rock ‘n’ Roll Express here! They cheer on Mark, will Mark soon be headed for new title opportunities?

 

Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.

He welcomes us back to the show, but just as he’s about to begrudgingly welcome out FTR, he is interrupted by Stokely Hathaway! Big Stoke says there has been a change of plans, and he’s got this now. “They are living legends. Top guys! TEN TIME World Tag Team Champions! New Orleans, give it up for F T R!” The fans boo, but the music hits and Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler make their way out, walking with Stokely to the ring. FTR shake hands with Schiavone, and Stokely reintroduces himself. He will address the elephant in the room. FTR were suspended and fined for accidentally hitting someone, and simply touching Tony Schiavone?

That is interesting to Stokely, because there are other people who have literally set people on fire. Hangman Page has committed arson! Ricochet decides to come to work and shanks people with scissors! And should we even list all of Moxley’s crimes? Stokely will. Acts of terrorism, kidnapping, extortion, and all to FTR, yet he walks around here unpunished. That is unjust! But do not worry, that’s why Stokely is here. Stokely says that suspension will be expunged from their permanent records. Those fines will be reimbursed, based on the very public, ugly, and nasty way this has all played out.

Moving forward, if you wanna have a conversation with the Top Guys, you need to have a conversation with Stokely. As of today, Stokely Hathaway is the new agent for the greatest tag team today, F T R! Now, Schiavone, do your job. Schiavone thanks Stokely, and then holds the mic for FTR. Cash says beautiful work from Stokely. But what happened last week with Daniel Garcia was not an easy decision for them. But “Danny” gave them no choice when he made his own decision. The fans boo, Cash says please be polite, he is talking. Don’t forget, it was 2Point0 that got in FTR’s face! It was 2Point0 that came at FTR! It was 2Point0 that wanted a fight!

And from where FTR is from, when you want a fight, you better be ready to fight. And well, 2Point0 wasn’t ready for that fight. Cash has respect for Danny, though. When he asked them to stop, FTR stopped. Danny is FTR’s friend. But then he goes and treats them like that? Don’t forget, Danny, you came to them for help. When every other veteran here left him high and dry and directionless, it was FTR that got Danny to the TNT Championship. FTR put Danny first, they put Cope first, they put AEW first, and that got FTR nothing but disrespect! NO MORE! FTR first from now on! And you’re gonna boo them for that?!

The fans do indeed boo, but Dax steps in. What’s with the hostility? Relax. Speaking of living legends, there are a couple legends in the house right now! Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are here! Dax invites Ricky & Robert to the ring to share the spotlight. Ricky & Robert stand up, the fans cheer, and Dax says c’mon now, we’ve got TV time ticking. Watch your step, we don’t want anyone falling. Rock ‘n’ Roll Express do indeed step into the ring with FTR, Stokely & Schiavone, and Dax tells the fans that if they didn’t cheer FTR, no need to cheer Rock ‘n’ Roll. The fans boo but Dax says one of the greatest teams of all time, Rock ‘n’ Roll Express!

Ricky & Robert have had some of the greatest matches with some of the greatest teams. Which do they feel is their greatest match of all time? Before Ricky or Robert can answer, Dax says it would have to be Philadelphia with the Midnight Express. And to be honest, no shade, but Midnight Express was better. The fans boo, Dax says no, hold on, tonight is going to be about Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. 40 YEARS of Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, they’re still going strong. How old are they? And again, Dax interrupts by saying that he’d have to say just on looks alone, he’d go with 109. And being 109 means they were running hard in the 80s, if you know what he means.

What would they say was their greatest experience in the 80s? Ricky stops Dax from interrupting this time! The fans cheer and Ricky says no more of this. Don’t try and embarrass Ricky & Robert in front of the wrestling world. Stokely steps in and says there doesn’t need to be hostility. This is kinda ironic, but Stokely has something. He has Dax hold his mic, and then he brings out the brand new FTR merch shirt! FTR: Living Legend Killers. This one’s for Ricky. Stokely throws the shirt at Ricky, and then FTR attacks! The fans boo as Cash DECKS Robert, and then Dax reels Ricky in! Cash goes up, MIND BREAKER!!

But here comes The Paragon! FTR runs from Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly! The Top Guys stoop to new lows, but will The Paragon make sure FTR get the worst of it?

 

The Young Bucks VS Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey!

We saw Matthew & Nicholas Jackson earlier tonight try and again ingratiate themselves to the Death Riders, only to be reminded they have many more enemies than friends. But this match is really only because The Jet & Speedball went a little overboard with their celebration last week, what with the $400,000 and The Opps winning the World Trios Championships. Will The Bucks be a couple of buzzkills? Or will they still throw a Superkick Party?

The teams sort out and Matt starts against Bailey. The fans cheer as the two circle. Bailey trips Matt, things speed up, and Matt stays low. Mike handsprings, then bypasses Matt to drop down and hurdle over! Matt leaps over, but Bailey ducks a kick! Matt ducks a kick, and then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS hook each other! The fans fire up as the two hop around, but Nick runs in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Knight storms in but Nick kicks and CLUBS him down! The fans boo the Bucks, but they bring their opponents up. The Bucks double whip, but Knight & Bailey duck ‘n’ dodge, only for The Bucks to DOUBLE BACK ELBOW!

The Bucks double kip up and soak up the heat as they hit their classic pose. But then Knight & Bailey are up! They spin The Bucks around, Bailey SOBATS Nick but Matt ROCKS Knight! Matt throat chops Bailey! Matt whips Knight, but Bailey gives him the boost for the CROSSBODY! Then they TOSS Matt out onto Nick! The fans fire up as Knight & Bailey say #2Fly! DOUBLE PLANCHAS take down The Bucks! The fans fire up and high-five with Knight. Knight & Bailey put Matt in, they DOUBLE CHOP, then they double whip. Matt grabs ropes, Knight runs up but Matt TOSSES him! Matt ELBOWS Bailey away, and then Nick PENALTY KICKS Knight!

Bailey runs up, but into Nick’s GAMANGIRI! Matt wheelbarrows Bailey and Nick slingshots in, WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER COMBO! Then Nick cartwheels and MOONSAULTS onto Knight! Nick soaks up the heat, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The Bucks soak up the heat while Matt paces around Bailey. Matt stomps Bailey to the corner, Nick CLUBS Knight, and then Matt bumps Bailey off buckles. Tag to Nick, and they put Bailey in the ropes for the DRAPING SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Bailey stays in this, and we see Knight returning to the corner. Nick runs to KNEE Bailey in the back! Nick stays between Bailey and Knight while mockingly holding out Bailey’s hand to Knight. Nick then gets in Knight’s face, and the ref has to keep Knight from rushing after Nick! Nick claps to fake the tag, and Matt runs up to stomp Bailey down! Matt CHOKES Bailey, all while the ref argues with Knight!

Matt stops choking Bailey to then drag him back to the corner. Tag to Nick, and The Bucks CATAPULT GAMANGIRI, and then DOUBLE STOMP BACKBREAKER! Nick taunts Knight more, then drags Bailey to a cover, TWO! Bailey is still in this but Nick stays on him with buckle bumps. Nick then scrapes Bailey’s face against the ropes! Nick stops to soak up the heat, and then he drags Bailey into a facelock. Bailey endures, fights up, and fires body shots! Bailey runs, but Nick WHEEL KICKS him down! Cover, TWO! Nick drags Bailey back into a facelock and he grinds Bailey down. The fans rally, Bailey fights up, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

Knight coaches Bailey up, but Nick suplexes! Bailey cradle counters, TWO! Nick runs up, but into a ROUNDHOUSE! Both men are down, Bailey and Nick crawl, hot tag to Matt! Nick then BLASTS Knight, and the fans boo while Matt brushes him off dismissively. The Bucks drag Bailey up, double whip, but Bailey handsprings! The Bucks get clear, but Bailey dodges their double lariat to BOOT Matt! Bailey dodges Nick to fire LIGHTNING KICKS! ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up as Bailey crawls! Nick also goes for the corner, hot tags to Matt and Knight! Knight dodges Matt to BLAST Nick! And then Knight rallies on Matt!

Knight whips, Matt reverses, but Knight goes up and over, comes back and LARIATS! The fans fire up with Knight, and he runs in at the corner! STRINGER SPLASH! Whip and LARIAT in the corner! Then a whip, but Matt wrenches. Knight dodges Matt to pop him up and SLAM! UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Knight waits on Matt, then somersaults for a DD- NO, Matt turns satellite DDT into NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Polar Express gets going as Matt NORTHERN LIGHTS again! Bailey runs up, but he just gets added to a DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS! The fans boo but Nick cheers Matt on. Matt runs up, and he blocks Bailey’s boots!

Matt puts Bailey in the ropes, Nick GAMANGIRIS, and then Matt SUPERKICKS Knight! Nick goes out, Matt drags Knight out along the ropes. Nick is up, DRAPING DOUBLE STOMP BOMB for Knight, and Nick somersaults through to DRAPING BACKSTABBER Bailey! Cover on Knight, TWO!! Knight survives and Matt mockingly applauds. Matt says that’s good stuff. The fans rally and Knight rises, but Matt smiles. Matt brings Knight up, but Knight JAWBREAKERS free! Hot tag to Bailey! But Matt fakes him out to DDT! Matt soaks up the heat, tags Nick, and Nick soaks up the heat. “Who wants to see a Superkick Partaaay~?!”

The fans are torn as Nick aims, but Bailey blocks the superkick! Bailey spins Nick around to SUPERKICK him! Matt SUPERKICKS Bailey! Knight SUPERKICKS Matt! Nick SUPERKICKS Knight! Bailey runs up, Nick dodges, but then Bailey dodges! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES take them down! Matt and Knight both kip up, but they DOUBLE LARIAT each other down!! Nick and Bailey kip back up, Nick goes Matrix to avoid Bailey’s kick! But Bailey spins to hook Nick’s kick, only for DOUBLE ROLLING ROUNDHOUSES to take them both down!! The fans are electric for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” giving them this tag match!

The teams crawl for their corners, Bailey tags Knight. Knight storms up on Nick, but Nick ROCKS him with a forearm! And another! Knight roars, but Nick ROUNDHOUSES! Nick runs, but Knight DROPKICKS right through him! Bailey gets in and he Electric Chair Lifts Nick! Knight says Time2- NO, Matt intercepts Knight’s flight with an Electric Chair Lift of his own! But now it’s a chicken fight! The fans are going nuts as Knight throws hands on Nick, only for Matt to CLAW at Bailey’s face! The two back up, Bailey puts Nick on the top rope and Knight fights free of Matt. Knight shoves Matt and Bailey bypasses him, Matt runs into Nick’s Johnson!

Knight says Nick goes to the UPPER ROOM! Then Bailey hoists Nick up again, and Knight DORPKICKS him into the POWER BREAKER!! Cover, MATT BREAKS IT! The fans are torn, but Bailey DROPKICKS Matt!

Backstage interview with Toni Storm.

Renee is now with the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, as well as butler Luther, and notes that tonight, it is Kris Statlander VS Jamie Hayter in the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament Semifinals. Renee also notes that Toni has been watching everyone in this tournament very closely. Toni says, “And why shouldn’t I? These are the preeminent individuals in our entire industry. So ladies, good luck. Pound your flesh, rip your tits, but don’t you dare get any blood on my pearls. And remember: You are now watching your feature presentation.” Renee says speaking of feature presentations, this weekend in Hollywood, Toni will be on the red carpet for the TCM Film Festival.

Toni says yes, some new little science fiction film. Renee says it’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Toni says there’s not an empire big enough to strike her back. But remember, she is a lover and a fighter. She isn’t just going to spend this weekend cucking around with Ben Mankiewicz! She has an idea! Toni grabs her title and stands up on top of a chair. “Attention, slop tarts! This Saturday on Collision, I’m going to have a Championship Eliminator Performance! So if there’s any b*tch that has the itch-” Oh, Queen Aminata steps up immediately. She says she’s back, and you know she likes to fight. So, let’s do this.

Toni says, “No, no, darling. It’s… Let’s make cinema!” Toni has Luther carry her away, but will Playoff Palooza end up an underdog sports story?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

New Orleans fires up and sings along, “We Hurt~ People!” as Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin make their way to the ring. MVP holds up a fan’s sign that says, “WE HURT PEOPLE,” then he grabs a mic. “Attention, AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. On behalf of the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, and the All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, we are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” The fans cheer that! MVP says in fact, they’re so good at that, that every single tag team they’ve faced for these AEW World Tag Team Championships haven’t been back!

MVP says they’re all home healing up. Then the Gates of Agony stepped up, and they said they like to be hurt? That’s a silly thing to say to two of the most dangerous men on the planet! But they obliged, and they hurt those two. You will not be seeing The Gates of Agony in the near future. But perhaps you will see them eventually, because Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are hungry young lions and they will return. Now is just not their time. This time right now, MVP will hand the mic over to Lashley, because he has a few things he’d like to say. The fans cheer that! MVP passes the mic to Lashley, but then an engine starts revving.

MVP sighs as we see a fancy sports car pull into the parking lot. And out steps none other than Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF tells a guy to keep it running for him, then nut taps him on the way out! MJF laughs at his own prank, and even says, “What a do*che.” MJF heads to gorilla, and that means he makes his entrance! Lashley smirks because of course MJF is making his way out here. MJF has a mic to say cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on, and MJF tells the Hurt Syndicate, “Gentlemen, I know… Hell, we all know you had a good time last week, okay? And if you guys wanna have a good time for the rest of your lives, all I need are three thumbs up. That’s it.”

MJF waits, and MVP says okay, let’s try this one more time. MVP says we know how he feels, he is still thumbs up. The fans cheer for “THREE THUMBS UP! THREE THUMBS UP!” Shelton is no longer intimidated by Lashley, and he gives the thumbs up! MJF is excited, but Shelton denies him the hug. Shelton tells MJF that to make this real clear, this isn’t a thumbs up because of “a bunch of broads and a watch.” The only reason Shelton gave MJF a thumbs up is because of MVP, so don’t forget that. MJF says of course! He loves Montel! We ALL love Montel, right? The fans cheer! MJF says, “We also love our good friend, Bob!”

The fans cheer for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” and MJF says c’mon, let’s see it. Lashley holds out his hand, but MJF says hold on, hold on, he has a feeling he knows where Lashley is going with this. So please, give him one more second. MJF knows Lashley has his reservations, but if he’s in the Syndicate, then they’ll get all the money, the power, the respect, and the gold! Lashley brings a lot to the table, but with all due respect, there are things MJF brings to the table that Lashley does not. MJF knows AEW better than anybody. MJF knows how to cut corners better than anybody! And he knows how to win by any means necessary better than anybody.

If they let MJF in, they don’t just run AEW, they run professional wrestling! MVP says that’s a good point. MJF says he knows they got off on the wrong foot, but really, that’s not MJF’s fault. But, but, but…! MJF is willing to admit as Salt of the Earth, he’s been a bit prickly over the rejections. So MJF wants Lashley to know, from the bottom of his heart, two words he’s never said before… “I’m sor…” MJF trails off and the fans chant, “Say You’re Sorry!” MJF says he is, okay? Shut up! “Bob…! I’m sorry!” MJF gets it out and the fans cheer! MJF catches his breath and then Lashley holds up his hand. MJF panics and says before Lashley puts the thumb down…!

Did Lashley see the car he drove here in? Did they like that car? If Lashley gives a thumbs up, that car is his! MVP says that’s another good offer. Lashley chuckles and says he needs the keys. Of course! But they’re in the back, so we gotta take a walk. Okay, let’s go take a walk. MJF says we’re taking a walk! The fans cheer as MJF leads the way back to the parking lot. MJF tells the fans they’re as tough to look at as they’ve been lovely, so thank you. But will the keys to that incredible car be the key to MJF joining the Hurt Syndicate?

 

MJF and the Hurt Syndicate arrive in the parking lot.

MJF has the valet hand the keys back, and MJF has them look at this beauty. Talk about horsepower! It is gorgeous! Lashley takes the keys, steps into the driver’s seat, and Shelton joins him at shotgun. MJF asks for a thumbs up, but Lashley just drives away! Thumbs… DOWN?!? MJF just got tricked! MVP has MJF calm down and says you gotta give the people what they want. MJF grits his teeth as he tells Lashley to have fun with the car… But if it isn’t gifts that will win The All Mighty over, what must MJF give him?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee is with the once again Anxious Millennial Cowboy, and she notes that was a huge victory for Hangman in the Owen Hart Tournament. Hangman beat the wild card, Josh Alexander, and is now set to face Kyle Fletcher next week in the semifinals held in Norfolk, Virginia. Kyle viciously attacked last week, so how is- “The MOMENT that I see Kyle Fletcher, I am going to put his ass in the ground! And it looks like somebody wants to get in here, so get your ass in here.” MJF steps in and says, “Howdy, Cowboy. How you been? You look great. By the way, I wanted to compliment you on your new haircut. I love that it makes it look like you met your wife at a family reunion.”

Hangman says MJF hasn’t changed anything about himself since he was 12 years old. But Hangman is in the middle of an interview, so unless MJF has something of substance to add, he should just get in his car and- Oh…! Right, we just saw what happened there. MJF sarcastically laughs that off, and says it’s “Joke Man” Adam Page. Here’s a joke for him: Guy enters the Owen Hart Tournament, only to then watch MJF stroll on in through the backdoor with the Hurt Syndicate to reclaim what is rightfully his and become a TWO-TIME AEW World Champion. Hangman says like MJF knows anything about the backdoor.

MJF’s whole plan is to use Hurt Syndicate, but how does that get him an inch closer to the world title? But maybe after Hangman beat MJF’s ass at Revolution, MJF had to figure something out because he knows he can’t win matches, and he knows he can’t hang with Hangman. MJF says wow, first of all, of course Hangman doesn’t understand his intentions with The Hurt Syndicate, Hangman’s an idiot. Second of all, Hangman wants to act high and might because he beat MJF, well check the math, they’re 1-1. If they ever do face off again, MJF sends Seabiscuit to the glue factory where he belongs.

And third of all, the personal favorite for MJF: Hangman thinks he’s a badass for being in the Owen Hart Cup? Hangman is a great wrestler, MJF will not take that away from him. But if Hangman does manage to get to the finals, he’ll just do what he does best, and that’s choke. MJF leaves, Hangman shouts he has something for MJF to choke on! Dumbass! Hangman storms off, but will he make it through the semifinals? Or will the Aussie Arrow make sure Hangman can’t go Double or Nothing?

 

Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis Family VS Will Ospreay & Brody King!

Speaking of the Owen Hart Cup, the Walking Weapon lost to The Cowboy, and the Alpha lost to the Aerial Assassin in their epic semifinal showdown. But now the Don Callis Family is hoping to change the odds at Double or Nothing using brute force! Will Alexander & Takeshita make the Family proud? Or will the #BillyGOAT and King of Death be a truly killer combo?

The teams sort out and Ospreay starts against Takeshita to start where they left off from last time! The fans fire up as the two circle, and Callis of course joins commentary. Ospreay and Konosuke feel things out, only for Alexander to CLOBBER Ospreay from behind! Konosuke BLASTS Brody off the apron, the ref reprimands, but the Don Callis Family mug Ospreay. They double whip, DOUBLE ELBOW, then stand Ospreay up for DOUBLE BACK SUPLEXES! They shake hands, and then DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Takeshita flexes, then he drags Ospreay up. Konosuke bumps Ospreay off buckles, tags Alexander, and Alexander ROCKS Ospreay!

Alexander whips Ospreay, Ospreay reveres and atomic drops! Then he CHOPS Alexander down, before he STANDING MOONSAULT FLOPS as Alexander moves! Alexander grabs a leg for an ANKLE LOCK! Ospreay rolls and throws Alexander away, but Alexander is right back to scoop and SLAM! Alexander runs to drop a KNEE, but the fans sing for “Ospreay~, Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” Alexander whips corner to corner, Ospreay goes up and over, then Ospreay keeps moving to RANA Alexander! Then he arm-drags Alexander down to an armlock! The fans bark as Ospreay tags in Brody! Brody & Ospreay double whip, then DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE!

Konosuke runs up, but Brody scoops and SLAMS him onto Alexander! Then Brody whips Ospreay to FLAPJACK him onto Konosuke & Alexander! The fans fire up, and Brody adds a DOUBLE SENTON! The fans bark, Brody stands Alexander up, and Brody CHOPS him to a corner! Brody ROCKS Alexander, brings him around, and CHOPS again! Alexander goes to the corner but Brody ROCKS and CHOPS him again! And CHOPS! And then he stands on Alexander’s neck! Ospreay asks for a tag, Brody chops him as a tag! Ospreay says okay, thanks… Ospreay steps in, Alexander JABS but Ospreay CHOPS!

Ospreay whips, Alexander grabs the ropes, but Ospreay runs up, only for Alexander to put him on the apron. Ospreay ROCKS Alexander, takes aim, but Konosuke anchors Ospreay’s legs! Konosuke sits Ospreay down and Alexander CROSSBODIES! The fans boo but Callis and Lance Archer like what they see, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Callis whispers something to Konosuke before Konosuke rolls into the ring. Alexander looms over Ospreay, holds him up, and Konosuke distracts the ref, allowing Callis to get a cheap shot in! Callis is giddy as he goes back to commentary. Alexander then storms in and he stomps Ospreay around. Alexander stalks Ospreay, CHOPS him, then Konosuke CHOKES Ospreay in the corner! The ref reprimands, but Alexander scoops and SLAMS Osprey! Tag to Konosuke and he goes up to SUPER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Konosuke drags Ospreay up, reels him in, and Ospreay endures the COBRA TWIST! The ref checks on Ospreay, but that lets Konosuke link up with Alexander!

The ref looks and sees what they’re up to, so Alexander lets go. Konosuke scoops Ospreay for a BACKBREAKER! Tag to Alexander, he stalks Ospreay, and he steps on Ospreay’s foot to keep him from Brody. Alexander then stomps the ankle! Alexander grabs a leg, twists Ospreay’s ankle, then he JAMS the leg up! Ospreay hobbles away, but he still CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Alexander dropkicks the bad leg! Ospreay falls in a heap, and Alexander fishhooks him into sitting up! Alexander CLUBS Ospreay in the chest, soaks up the heat, and then he stalks Ospreay to ropes. Konosuke is there to CHOKE Ospreay again!

The ref reprimands, Konosuke stops, and Alexander argues with the ref. Konosuke HOTSHOTS Ospreay! Ospreay staggers away, the ref keeps Brody back, and Alexander drags Ospreay up to UPPERCUT! Ospreay staggers to a corner, Alexander UPPERCUTS him again! Ospreay falls, Alexander clamps on a chinlock! Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally up. Ospreay fights up to fire body shots, then he reaches out to Brody. The fans rally, Alexander holds Ospreay back, but Ospreay fires a forearm! Ospreay still reaches out, but Alexander still holds on! Ospreay fires another forearm, and another, but Alexander ducks the shot!

Alexander waistlocks but Ospreay fights the lift. Ospreay backs Alexander down but Konosuke tags in. Konosuke taunts Brody, then runs up, but Ospreay BOOTS him! Ospreay ELBOWS Alexander, then ROCKS Konosuke, and repeat! The fans rally, but Konosuke kicks low. Konosuke & Alexander double whip, but Ospreay handsprings to DOUBLE PELE! The fans fire up and Ospreay crawls, hot tag to Brody! Brody BOOTS Konosuke, then LARIATS Alexander! Brody SPLASHES Konosuke in a corner, then he BACKDROPS Alexander! Brody storms up on Konosuke, whips, but Konosuke reverses and kicks low.

The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” while Konosuke runs, ducks ‘n ‘dodges, but the SOUTHPAW LARIAT finds him! The fans fire up while Konosuke bails out. Brody roars, and builds speed!? Brody DIVES and takes out Alexander & Konosuke! The fans fire up as Brody then drags them both up, brings them around the way, and makes them sit in the same chair. Alexander is on Konosuke’s lap, and Brody CHOPS Alexander! Seems like Konosuke still felt the force of it through Alexander. Brody gets space, and New Orleans barks along. Brody runs back in, and he CROSSBODIES them against the barriers!

Brody puts Konosuke in the ring, then runs corner to corner to LARIAT! Ospreay tags in and Brody fireman’s carries! DOUBLE STOMP into a DEATH VALLEY BACKBREAKER! Cover, Alexander breaks it in time! Brody TOSSES Alexander, but Alexander drags him out! Brody runs up, but he’s sent into the steel steps! Ospreay lines up a shot, but Konosuke reels him in!

Ospreay whips Konosuke, Konosuke reverses, but Ospreay handsprings again, but into BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous as Ospreay survives! Konosuke and Ospreay are both down, and a standing count begins. Archer coaches Alexander while Ospreay and Konosuke crawl. New Orleans tells off Callis himself, but we get hot tags to Alexander and Brody! Alexander BOOTS Brody, BOOTS him again, then he blocks a chop to wrench, KICK, ROCK, and reel Brody in! But Brody’s too much to lift! Brody wrenches out, takes a swing, but Alexander dodges. Brody SWATS a lariat, CHOPS and ROLLING ELBOWS, then he LARIATS point blank! Cover, TWO!! Alexander survives but Brody just snarls. The fans bark it up as Brody storms around.

Brody runs corner to corner, CANNONBALL! Cover, but Archer distracts the ref! Brody is furious, and he BLASTS Archer off the apron! But an ALPHA ELBOW finds him! Ospreay runs up, Konosuke dodges, kicks and whips, but Ospreay dodges to DIVE onto Archer! Ospreay hurries back up, he ROCKS Konosuke, and then PIP PIP- NO, Konosuke dodges and Alexander ROCKS Ospreay with a haymaker! Alexander reels Ospreay in, POWERBOMB!

Give a few assists to Don Callis and Lance Archer, but the family that cheats together wins together! And then they beat up on Brody just because! Ospreay slides in, he fires off on Konosuke, but Alexander is after him! Now Ospreay is getting mugged, and they feed Ospreay to Archer’s CHOKE SLAM!! Archer scares the ref off, and here comes Kyle Fletcher! The Protostar always loves seeing his former friend get beat up, and he joins the Don Callis Family in the ring.

The fans boo as Roppongi Vice were lurking in the shadows for a moment like this! They beat up on Hangman, then send him in just for Kyle. But Hangman fires hands! Kyle panics, but RPG Vice CLOBBER Hangman! The fans boo as the Don Callis Family beats up on Hangman 6v1! They get Hangman up so Kyle can suplex and BRAINBUSTER!! Kyle is ready, but will he shoot down the Cowboy to get one more match with Ospreay? Or will the Buckshot be Hangman’s ace in the hole?

2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinal Round: Kris Statlander VS Jamie Hayter!

These two have been waiting for this one, as have we all! A former AEW TBS Champion and a former AEW Women’s World Champion are each one step away from the Owen Hart Cup, but only one of them can move on. Who gets to go Double or Nothing with The CEO, Mercedes Mone?

The bell rings and the fans fire up as the two circle. They tie up, go around, and then break. They circle more, tie up again, and Kris arm-drags Jamie. Jamie gets up in a huff, runs up, but Kris drops down. Kris gets up but Jamie runs her over! Kris is right back up, and runs up again. Jamie dodges, Kris dodges, and then Kris runs Jamie over! Jamie is already getting annoyed as she stands back up. The two stare down, then they both throw forearms! And the both BOOT! And then they both SHOULDER TACKLE! They both fall, and then they both kip up! The fans cheer as these two see they’re very much the other’s equal.

Kris and Jamie dust themselves off, then Kris goes to run, only for Jamie to reel her in by her tights! Jamie waistlocks and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Kris goes to a corner, Jamie runs up, METEORA! Jamie snapmares Kris, goes up the corner, then leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up, Jamie hurries to cover, TWO! Kris stays in this and Jamie is rather amused. Jamie bumps Kris off buckles, stomps her, then whips. Kris reverses, wrenches, ROCKS, and then runs to go up the corner! Jamie catches Kris first! Kris uses that to wheelbarrow Jamie into buckles! Kris then runs corner to corner to UPPERCUT!

Kris runs side to side, but Jamie dumps her out! Kris ROCKS Jamie, drags her out to the apron, but Jamie ROCKS Kris! Kris ROCKS Jamie, then gets under the boot to TRIP Jamie! Jamie flops to the floor, and Kris takes aim. The fans fire up for the MOONSAULT, but Jamie moves! Kris crashes on the floor, and Jamie BOOTS her down! The fans fire up, Jamie dabs the sweat off her face and then throws the wristband at Kris while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The fans cheer on Jamie, but here comes The “C E O! C E O!” Mercedes Mone struts her way out, all her belts on her person. She points to the Owen Hart Cup trophy and smiles. Jamie says no no no, that’s gonna be hers. These two are just one month away from going Double or Nothing, who wins it all in Arizona?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, with strong build in all the stories that they’ve got going right now. Great opening segment with Schiavone bringing out Master P, Master P bringing out The Opps, and then all that causing The Death Riders to show up. Good brawl there, and that was fun having Master P laugh at Moxley being choked out. But then good move having The Elite show up, that works for the story of The Elite still trying to join forces with The Death Riders. But then Swerve and Omega showing up was also good. With the news that Moxley VS Joe is now for Beach Break, I am very certain we’re getting Stadium Stampede/Anarchy in the Arena for Double or Nothing. Seeing The Opps, Omega & Swerve together, that’s just a natural Team AEW for this time around.

Similarly, very good promo stuff with Schiavone inviting out FTR. I’m a little surprised Stokely Hathaway is back as FTR’s manager, but at least he’s getting to do something. Very good promo from FTR, Passive Aggressive Dax is pretty funny. And then FTR turning on Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, that was wild. The Paragon showing up was good stuff, and we’ll get a great match of FTR VS Roddy & Kyle. Also, I guess it really is official, Cole-Roddy-Kyle are The Paragon, and “The Kingdom” returns to just being Taven & Bennett. And while prerecorded so that they can play it between NBA games on Saturday, Playoff Palooza looks like a lot of fun.

Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe was a great match that wasn’t quite so outta-nowhere, given last week’s big money 8 Man Tag. Good win for Mark, but of course Ricochet attacked him. Kevin Knight making the save was good, and it helped give us the finish to Knight’s tag match against The Bucks. That tag match was bordering on PPV quality, but it makes sense Ricochet would cheat Knight as payback. Knight VS Ricochet definitely needs to happen next week before Knight has to go back to Japan for Best of the Super Juniors. And in the meantime, perhaps Ricochet and Bailey can feud as a holdover until Knight gets back in the Summer.

Great promo from MVP to put over the Gates of Agony, and great stuff with MJF and the Hurt Syndicate. I could just tell Lashley was gonna get the better of MJF with that car deal. This is definitely going to boil down to how Lashley might actually want a world title shot, making the whole thing of MJF joining a moot point. Great promo between MJF and Hangman, one of them will definitely cost the other something, and it is definitely more likely MJF costs Hangman against Kyle or Ospreay in the tournament. Another great tag match tonight with Ospreay & Brody VS Konosuke & Alexander.

The Don Callis Family of course cheated to get their win, and also great beatdown stuff after. Hangman wanting after Kyle was good stuff, and with the Don Callis Family standing tall, there’s a very big chance that it ends up Ospreay VS Hangman for Double or Nothing. For one, as I just said, MJF can cost Hangman. Also, we’ve gotten plenty of Ospreay VS Fletcher lately, we can give them time before they fight again. Great promo from Toni to issue an open challenge and have it immediately answered by Aminata. Maybe they’re doing this now that they went and changed the ROH PPV schedule, and that kinda screws up when and where Aminata VS Deeb was going to happen…

Then great main event of Kris VS Jamie. I am legit surprised it was Jamie winning to face Mone, I really thought Kris was going to make that push to the top. Mone VS Jamie will still be awesome, and it’d still be great to see Toni VS Jamie again after all this time, but it still feels like Toni VS Mone ends up the All In match, even though I still argue we should be getting Mone VS Athena so that Athena can be on the big PPV in her hometown. Though, I guess if Supercard of Honor is going to be in Texas, that’s supposed to make things up to The Fallen Goddess when she deserves the bigger stage.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

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?

The moment Archer hits the ring, he hits Knight! Archer fires off in a corner, the bell rings, and the ref counts. The fans boo but archer only stops to throw his jacket at Knight! Then he THROWS Knight out of the ring! The fans tell Callis off like they did last night, but Archer SMACKS Knight off the LED walls! Archer says night-night, Knight! He CLUBS Knight down on the stage, then drags him up to TOSS him down the ramp! Knight flounders to the apron but Archer steps inside to stop the ring count. Archer goes out to drag Knight up, choke grips, and CHOKE- NO, Knight flips free! Knight blocks a boot, ROCKS Archer, then goes up the corner, BIG triangle jump DROPKICK!

The fans fire up as night goes to the apron, springboards, QUEBRADA! They fall on the ramp and the fans fire up! Knight storms after Archer as they go into the ring, then Knight climbs up. Knight leaps to SEATED- NO, Archer catches Knight! Knight fights and RANAS Archer into a corner! Knight stomps and UPPERCUTS on repeat! Knight then stomps a mudhole, but stops as the ref counts 4. The fans fire up with Knight, but Archer LARIATS Knight inside-out! The fans boo but Archer drags Knight back up. Short arm LARIAT! Callis applauds while Archer rains down forearms on Knight’s head.

The ref reprimands about pulling hair but Archer tells him to shut up! Archer stomps Knight, paces around him, then drags him up. Archer CLUBS Knight on the back, then stalks him to a corner. Archer CHOPS Knight but the fans rally, “Let’s Go, Kevin!” Archer whips, Knight sunset flips, but Archer stays up! But Knight avoids the punch! Knight runs to SLIDING SHOULDER TACKLE! Archer tumbles out of the ring, Knight runs, and he WRECKS Archer with a dropkick! Archer pinballs off the desk, then Knight goes up the corner. But Callis grabs at Knight’s foot! The fans boo, Callis gets away with that, but Archer drags Knight down!

Archer ROCKS Knight, then SWINGS him into the steel steps! Archer is all fired up, Callis is happy, but the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!

Knight CHOPS Archer, but Archer isn’t even bothered! Archer whips Knight back into the ring, then storms in after him. Archer looms over Knight, stands on Knight’s hand, then steps off as the ref reprimands. Archer taunts Knight, stands him up, and pulls hair to put him in the corner. Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!

The fans are torn as Archer has his hattrick, and he looms over Knight again. Archer taunts Knight, slaps him around, but Knight fires a body shot! Archer nods, eggs Knight on, and Knight fires more hands! The fans fire up, but Archer DECKS Knight! Archer drags Knight around, has a cocky cover, ONE!! Knight is tougher than that as a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, and he flips Archer off! Archer grabs at him, Knight cradles, TWO!! Archer almost got caught, but he BOOTS Knight for that! And GERMAN SUPLEXES! Knight lands on his face and Archer grins. The fans rally for Knight but Archer puts him in a corner.

Archer hoists Knight up top, ROCKS him, then lifts Knight in the reverse crucifix! Knight flails, BLACKOUT- NO, Knight lands out! But Archer grabs him! CHOKE- DROPKICK! Knight turns things around, then fires hands! The fans rally as hard as they can for Knight as Knight fires shot after shot! Knight whips, Archer reverses, but knight slips to the outside! Archer hits buckles, Knight springboards in, but Archer gets clear. Knight comes back, but into a BOOT/STOMP! Archer drags Knight right up, then goes up the corner with him! The fans fire up already as Archer lifts Knight, but Knight fires elbows!

Knight fires body shots now, Archer pushes him back, but Knight returns, to the UPPER ROOM! Knight rolls and UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! Archer is still in this, but Knight runs corner to corner, only for Archer to dodge! Arche comes back, DERAILER!! Archer hauls Knight up, BUCKLE BOMBS, and CHOKE SLAMS! Cover, TWO?!?! Knight survives and Callis is furious! Archer snarls but he drags Knight back to a corner. The fans rally as hard as they can for “KEVIN! KEVIN!” but Archer walks the tightrope! But Knight trips Archer up! Archer is stuck on the ropes, and Knight DROPKICKS him down!

The fans fire up as Knight springboards, FLYING FOREARM to the floor! The fans fire up and Knight puts Archer in! Knight springboards, but Archer catches him! Knight HOTSHOTS that arm, then springboards again, FLYING LARIAT!! Cover, Knight wins!!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall

The Jet flies high and takes the win! Will this literally big win help Knight take over the BOSJ?

 

The Opps speak.

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?

 

BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!

While Collision will return to Saturday nights, it will also have to wait until after coverage of the NBA Playoffs. The silver lining? It’ll be live from coast to coast! Make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the Playoff Palooza!

 

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander.

Renee Paquette is with these two ahead of their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match, set for next week on Dynamite. It is a semifinal match, and yet this is also the first time Kris and Jamie face off 1v1. The winner goes on to Double or Nothing to face Mercedes Mone in the tournament finals, but Kris stops Renee there. Enough about Mone. And enough about Toni Storm, honestly. There are plenty of other women in this locker room who work just as hard, if not harder, than those two. Jamie says she won’t disagree there. Jamie works hard, Kris works hard, and Jamie won’t stand here to give endless pats on the back.

But Jamie also knows Kris is good, being a former TBS Champion. And Kris knows Jamie is good, being a former AEW Women’s World Champion. They both know they can go, and this right here has been a long time coming. Whoever wins this, they better go all the way. See you Wednesday, mate. That match is for Dynamite, but will Kris get a leg up on Mone in the tag match later tonight?

 

Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR.

Given the suspension as announced last night, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are not allowed in the building, so they sent this message instead.

“Dear Tony & Nigel, I (Dax) wish I could take back everything we did to you guys last week. It was completely unacceptable, unnecessary, and unwarranted. I honestly think the punishment for us wasn’t severe enough.” Schiavone explains it is a suspension for a week, without pay. Dax’s letter continues to say, “Tony, I would never have gone through with the piledriver with you. You said some things about my daughter that I won’t hold against you. But in the heat of the moment, I felt I was justified to scare you a little. I love you, Tony.” Schiavone rolls his eyes, the fans boo because they don’t believe Dax’s words.

Schiavone explains this next part is addressed to Nigel. “I never wanted things to get physical between the three of us, I know your body, and your mind for that matter, is very fragile.” Nigel rolls his eyes at the passive aggressiveness there. “I’m sure you were thinking the same thing with emotions as we were. Even though you probably knew there was no way you could ever beat us up, LOL. Again, my sincerest apologies to you both, and I hope we can just move forward in a professional and productive manner. With love, Dax Harwood.” The fans still boo the ingenuine sentiments, and Nigel sarcastically accepts the apology. Will FTR ever actually learn their lesson?

 

Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita VS Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii!

The Walking Weapon couldn’t defeat the Cowboy, so he goes and sucker punches him after the match, then seemingly joins forces with The Don Callis Family! Will Alexander get his first win alongside The Alpha? Or can Azucar & Stone Pitbull conglomerate their way to a victory?

The teams sort out and Ishii starts against Konosuke in a battle of Openweight Champions! The fans fire up as Ishii and Konosuke go toe to toe, then they start shoving!

SHIRA- NO, Alexander slips free! Rocky waistlocks Alexander, Ishii runs up, but Alexander ducks! The LARIAT hits Rocky! Then Alexander rolls Ishii up, with tights! TWO!! Alexander fires a flurry of elbows, but Ishii roars! Ishii runs in, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! But he’s right back up!?

Alexander runs up, Ishii SWATS a lariat, then ROCKS Alexander! Alexander ROCKS Ishii, but Ishii HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up while both men fall! A standing count starts, but Ishii crawls hover, hot- WHAT?! Rocky leaves Ishii hanging?! WHY?!? The fans boo, but Konosuke BOOTS Ishii! Then feed to a GERMAN SUPLEX! Alexander holds on, ripcord, DOUBLE ROLLING ELBOWS!! Then a POWERBOMB!! High stack, Don Callis Family wins!

Winners: Konosuke Takeshita & Josh Alexander, by pinfall

Rocky looks conflicted, but they why did he leave Ishii all alone to begin with?! Callis celebrates with his guys, will nothing stop the family from taking over AEW? Rocky goes back to help Ishii, but Ishii shoves Rocky! Ishii asks what the heck, but wait! Is that TRENT BERETTA!? Rocky CLOBBERS Ishii, and Trent takes off the jacket! Trent rains down fists on Ishii now, and the Callis Family returns?! Trent was Don Callis Family the last time we saw him, and it seems he still IS Don Callis Family! Callis explains to Konosuke that it’s fine, and he gives Trent the monkey wrench! The very thing that took Trent out almost a year ago!

Rocky stands Ishii up, and says goodbye. Trent CLOBBERS Ishii with the monkey wrench!!! Trent & Rocky are in the Family, will AEW soon belong to them?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Lexy Nair welcomes in #FourBeltsMone, and Mone again says, “Bostooon~! Say hello to your C E O!” Lexy congratulates Mone on defeating Athena last night and advancing to the Women’s Owen Hart Cup finals at Double or Nothing. She will either face Kris or Jamie, and Kris is someone Mone has had a lot of history with. Mone stops Lexy there and says that history is where Mone won them all. Tonight, she is in the main event in another tag match alongside Harley Cameron. Mone already groans as Harley brings out “Mini Mone!” “Bostooooon~! Say hello to your C E O~!” Mone says she already did that.

Mini Mone knows Main Mone doesn’t wanna talk to Harley right now, but she has assured Mini Mone that things will be different this time. They better be! Now now, talk to Mini Mone. She’s not gonna do that! Harley, just stay out of the way and not be such a loser! Harley pouts but Mone says there’s no reason to be sad. Mini Mone says yeah, there’s no crying in wrestling! Damn right! Wait, wait, why is she talking like the puppet’s real!? Harley starts singing “Ride the Money Wrath Train~!” Mone says no no no! Mone storms off, but the train is on the tracks either way. Mini Mone says, “See you tonight!” Will The CEO and the wild Aussie stay on track as we head for Double or Nothing?

 

2v1 Handicap Match: Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Rebecca Scott & Ashley Vox!

The wrath of the Megasus has yet to be satiated, so she is again doubling up on opponents. Will even Everyone’s Favorite Flight Attendant & The Reel Catch #BowDown?

The bell rings and Vox & Scott DOUBLE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as they bring the fight to Megan with fast hands! They double whip, but Megan crisscrosses them into each other, then DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEXES!! The fans fire up as Megan roars, and she reels Vox in! Megan hauls Vox up to POWERBOMB! And deadlift for ANOTHER POWERBOMB! And ANOTHER POWERBOMB!! Vox flounders away while the fans fire up! Megan aims at Scott, runs in, and LEAPING LARIATS! Megan is all fired up, and she hauls Scott up, FATE’S DESCENT onto Vox!! Double cover, Megan wins!

Winner: Megan Bayne, by pinfall

Vox & Scott tried, but they could not stop this female titan! Megan then sits them both up and tells them, “BOW DOWN!” Megan SMACKS them off the mat! The Superbad Girl raises Megan’s hand in victory, will nothing stop Megan from storming back up the mountain?

 

Anthony Bowens speaks.

“Throughout my life, I’ve been told ‘no’ so many times. But if I wanted it bad enough, I always found a way. And here in AEW, I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. My name is Anthony Bowens. I am AEW’s 5 Tool Player. The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. I am the Pride of Professional Wrestling, led by a badass. I intend to use every tool necessary to climb to the top of AEW. And oh, yeah, I intend to win gold. Let’s make history. So the question is, who’s next to step to the plate and get their ass Molly Whopped by THE Five Tool Player?! That journey starts now. Don’t believe me? Well I’ve got five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong!”

 

AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Adam Cole VS ???

The Panama City Playboy is in Boston, ready to make this City of Champions undisputed! But who will step to this paragon of wrestling? CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI! The Death Riders never left the building, they were just lurking from the shadows! But will the Swiss Cyborg snatch away this title to make up for the one he lost?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who brings the boom!

The bell rings and the two tie up. Claudio powers Cole right to a corner, lets off as the ref counts, but then Cole avoids the sucker punch! Cole fires fast hands, the fans fire up, but the ref counts. Claudio scoops Cole first to SLAM him down! Claudio looms over Cole, drags him up, and he whips Cole, only for Cole to reverse. But Claudio bounces off buckles to BOOT Cole down! The fans boo but Claudio stalks Cole. Claudio drags Cole up, scoops again, but Cole fights around to a SLEEPER!

Claudio drags Cole out, Cole fires forearms, but Claudio knees low! Claudio whips Cole hard into barriers!

Claudio winds up, runs up, but Cole dodges! Now Claudio hits the barriers! Cole fires forearms, stalks Claudio around the way, and he fires forearms again. Claudio YANKS Cole into the barriers! The ring count climbs, Claudio hauls Cole up, BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Cole flops to the floor and the fans lose their minds! Claudio refreshes the ring count, but he does wait on Cole. Cole slowly crawls, so Claudio goes out to fetch him. Claudio UPPERCUTS Cole, Cole staggers around, and Claudio military presses him! Claudio TOSSES Cole out into the crowd! The fans go nuts again, and they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this possible.

Claudio storms into the ring, soaks up the heat, and the ref checks Cole. That was a rough landing on that hardwood floor, but it seems Cole is okay to continue. The fans rally for Cole as he hobbles his way back to ringside. Cole rolls in, but Claudio runs up to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cole stays in this but Claudio clamps onto him with a chinlock. Cole endures, the fans rally, but Claudio squeezes tight. Cole fights around, fights to his feet, and the fans fire up as Cole fires body shots. But Claudio knees low, then TOSSES Cole back out! Cole flops to the floor, the fans boo more, but Claudio just soaks it all up as Collision goes picture in picture.

Cole gets checked by Doc Sampson, given that big bruise right on his side. The ring count climbs all the while, and Claudio paces as he waits on a verdict from Doc. Cole seems to be okay to continue, and he crawls his way over. Cole grabs at the apron skirt, drags himself up, and springs in at 9! Claudio is right on him and rains down fists! Claudio is all fired up, and also sports a cut on his arm from hitting these barriers. Claudio scoops to hit a BACKBREAKER, and then he bends Cole against his knee! Cole endures, throws hands from below, but Claudio shoves him down! Cole avoids the elbow drop! Claudio snarls, but Cole fires a forearm!

Claudio UPPERCUTS, Cole fires another forearm, repeat! Claudio looms over Cole but Cole still comes back with a forearm! The shots go back and forth, but then Claudio smothers Cole with a chinlock! Cole endures and fights back up, but Claudio pushes him down to the mat! Claudio leans on the hold as he grinds Cole down. Cole fights up again, fires body shots, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture. Claudio ROCKS Cole, runs, but Cole ROCKS Claudio! Claudio UPPERCUTS into a backslide! TWO, and Cole fireman’s carries, but Claudio fights free! Claudio whips, UPPERCUTS, then whips corner to corner.

Claudio runs in and UPPERCUTS! Then he whips corner to corner again, for another UPPERCUT! Claudio tries again, but Cole SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up while a standing count begins again! Cole is in a corner, but Claudio rises up to get him. Cole JAWBREAKERS, then ELBOWS, then BOOTS! Claudio still comes back, Cole gets around, BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Cole is frustrated and sore, but he still stands up. The fans fire up as Cole is in the corner, and he climbs up the ropes! Cole aims, Claudio stands, PANAMA- BACKDROP!

Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this and Cole is frustrated, but the fans rally up behind Cole. Cole goes back to the corner, hops up again, and Claudio’s up. PANAMA SUN- NO, Claudio trips and SWINGS Cole! The fans are torn as Cole goes around and around! TEN and Claudio THROWS Cole! Cover, TWO!! But into a CROSSFACE! Claudio pulls back on Cole but Cole endures! The fans rally as Cole reaches out. Cole rolls to a cover, TWO!

Claudio THROWS Cole to a corner! Claudio runs, UPPERCUTS, and then runs again! But Cole DUMPS Claudio out! Claudio HOTSHOTS Cole, hurries up the corner, then leaps, into a SUPERKICK! Cole covers, TWO!! Claudio is still in this, but both men are running on fumes. Cole rises up, brings down the kneepad, and says it’s time. But Claudio stops Cole to waistlock, only for Cole to PELE! Cole runs, into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives and Claudio is in disbelief! Cole goes to a corner as Claudio snarls and rises up. Claudio runs up, UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS!

The ref backs Claudio off, the fans boo, but Claudio just seethes. Cole drags himself up with the ropes, Claudio runs back in, UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! Claudio just UPPERCUTS and ELBOWS away! The ref backs Claudio off, warns him to listen to authority, but Claudio goes back in for more UPPERCUTS! The fans rally for Cole as he takes these shots, but then Claudio hoists him up top! Claudio climbs, goes to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Cover, ONE, and into a ghost pin! COLE WINS!!!

Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)

Claudio is in shock! But perhaps his anger got the better of him as he could’ve done things different. But the rest of the Undisputed Kingdom/Paragon is here to celebrate with their guy! Will Cole, Roddy & Kyle all be rolling on the road to Double or Nothing? Wait, now Claudio FLIPS the desk over in his anger! And then he stands it up on it’s side to tip it the other way! And another way! Yuta and Moxley hurry out here to try and calm Claudio down, and the fans taunt Claudio, “That’s expensive! That’s expensive!” They even chant “LOSERS! LOSERS!” The Death Riders storm off, what will satiate their anger?

 

Backstage interview with “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.

Lexy Nair is with the former Learning Tree Branches, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. She brings up how last week, Chris Jericho said he wasn’t angry, he was just disappointed, and then he left them to themselves. Where do they go from here? Bill says Jericho was disappointed in them, but Bill is disappointed in Jericho. Jericho is supposed to be the leader, and yet he walks out on them? Quite honestly, Bill is getting… angry. Keith wants Bill to chill. Not right now. What? What’s the difference? They talked about this in private, what’s the difference with it being now? Keith says it is like Bill just said: It was in private.

Keith knows Jericho said they were family, and that means something to Keith. And he just feels that if they’re family, they should handle this like family, and that is internally. And maybe, if Bill didn’t put Jericho on blast last week, Jericho wouldn’t have left. Bill understands, family is very important. That is why Keith wants to get back in the good graces of Jericho. Bill gets that. He just isn’t sure they should be living and dying at the whims of Jericho. Either way, the strategy moving forward is the same: They need to get in the ring, crack some skulls, and stack some wins. Lexy, to answer the question of what’s next, that is next.

Bill heads out, Keith follows, but will they do better or worse without The Nueve?

 

Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Rosario Grillo, Leon St. Giovanni & KM!

Finally, El Toro Blanco has returned! Rush leads Dralistico y The Beast Mortos into action again, will LFI finally stampede through AEW?

The trios sort out and LFI just attacks! Dralistico has Grillo, Rush has KM and Mortos as LSG! Things spill out side, LFI send their opponents into barriers, and then Darlistico CHOPS Grillo! Rush stomps KM, Dralistico stomps Grillo, and Mortos is back in the ring. The fans fire up with Mortos, and Dralistico sends Grillo into more railing! Rush regroups with his hermanos, both literal and in arms. Dralistico CHOPS LSG, Mortos SPLASHES, and then Mortos whips LSG corner to corner for another SPLASH! Mortos whips LSG to ropes now, for a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico and he springboards in, FLYING CODE BREAKER!

LSG flounders around and the fans fire up. KM tags in, but Dralistico SOBATS, KICKS, and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags in Rush! The fans fire up and Rush SUPERMAN PUNCHES KM! Then he DECKS LSG, HEADBUTTS Grillo, and he lets Dralistico FLY! Down go LSG and Grillo! Rush then says, “You mess with the bull…” YOU GET THE BULL’S HORNS!! KM takes those right in the face! Cover, LFI wins!

Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall

LFI makes quick work, and Rush says LFG! Will these three be like bulls in a China shop when it comes to the AEW Trios Division?

 

Backstage interview with Kevin Knight.

Renee catches up to The Jet as he and “Speedball” Mike Bailey say hey. A big congratulations for Knight in winning against Archer. Renee is pretty sure that match came about because Callis didn’t like the rejection he got in trying to recruit Knight and Speedball. Knight says pretty much, but that’s understandable. He doesn’t think the Don- Ricochet steps in, backwards hat and military coat not really going together, but he tells Knight to shut it. Ricochet says these goofs are not the story of the week. The story is how they screwed Ricochet last week and stole that prize money!

Speedball says if by “screwed,” Ricochet means Speedball’s team beat him fair and square to win 400 stacks, then yeah, he got screwed. Ricochet says first, you pinned Mortos, not Ricochet. And seeing as how they’re the new guys here, here’s some “veteran advice.” Don’t upset the top talent in AEW. You don’t disrupt the chain of command. And since Knight and Speedball are so low, at the bottom of the pole, take his advance before something bad happens. Knight says Ricochet has it all twisted, they respect him. Knight and Speedball respect the game, the in-ring talent, the hot wife, all of that.

But anything that Ricochet can do, the Jet can, too. In fact, here’s something he can do that Ricochet can’t. And then he shakes them dreads! Ricochet says here’s what he can do: he can smack Knight in his mouth! Then do it then! Maybe he will, if Knight keeps talking! Knight fakes a slap and makes Ricochet flinch! Ricochet says okay, he wants trouble now. Yeah, Knight needs that. Speedball says okay, just not tonight. Speedball and Knight head out, Renee tosses her hair and leaves. But will the One & Only find he’s the only one with a problem?

 

ROH World TV Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Nick Wayne!

If Christian Cage is to be believed, this match has come about all thanks to him pulling the strings. But at the same time, he told his “son” that he’d have to win this one on his own. Will The Prodigy make The Patriarch of the Patriarchy proud? Or will the Commander of the Skies ruin Christian’s “gift?”

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the real star of ROH TV!

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick SPITS at Komander! The bell rings, the fans boo, and Komander DORPKCIKS Nick! Komander fires off hands in the corner, Nick scurries away but Komander keeps on him! Komander CHOPS, Nick kicks low, and then Nick ROCKS Komander. Nick storms up, but Komander kicks, mule kicks, front kicks, and CHOPS! The fans fire up, Komander whips, but Nick reverses. Komander rolls off Nick’s back, then blocks the chop to knuckle lock and CHOP! Komander goes up, up, jumps around, and then FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up again while Nick flounders away.

Komander runs in, Nick TOSSES him to the ramp! Nick comes back, but Komander GAMANGIRIS him down! Komander goes up with Nick in the drop zone! But Nick hurries away, no Cielito. Komander still tightrope walks to ARABIAN PRESS, only for Nick to put him on the apron! Komander RAMS into Nick, springboards, and CROSSBODIES! Then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Nick bails out to the ramp. Komander aims, springboards, but Nick dodges! Komander comes back, Nick puts him in the ring, then he ducks a haymaker to HOTSHOT! Komander falls and the fans boo, but Nick checks his teeth.

We see Christian Cage, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna are watching this backstage as Nick hurries back in the ring. Nick stomps Komander, RAMS him into a corner, then puts him up top. Komander wobbles, Nick winds up to CHOP, then Nick climbs. Komander fires hands and Nick backs off. Komander hops down, springboards, but Nick SHOVES him down! Komander crashes to the floor and Collision goes picture in picture.

Abrahantes coaches Komander, and Nick goes outside to taunt the fans. Nick then fetches Komander to THROW him into railing! Komander writhes, Nick soaks up heat much like he did during Prelude to Spring Breakthru. Nick fetches Komander again, puts him in the ring, and taunts the fans before stepping inside. Cover, TWO! Nick is annoyed but he looms over Komander. Nick drags Komander up, throws him into the ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Nick steps off and he taunts the fans before he CHOKES Komander again! The ref counts again, Nick steps off, and Komander sputters while Nick swaggers around.

Nick drags Komander up, brings him around, and snapmares for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. Nick tells the fans to shut up, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Nick again has Komander on the ropes, literally. Nick whips Komander then KNEES him against the ropes! Nick soaks up the heat, whips Komander again, but Komander springboards to go up and FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then he reels Nick into a EURO CLUTCH! TWO!! Nick escapes in time, but Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick kicks low, runs, but Komander scoops to BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Abrahantes and Boston rally for “KO-MAN-DER!” Nick goes to a corner, Komander runs up, but Nick dodges! Nick runs in, but Komander puts him up top, ROCKS and CHOPS him, then triangle jump ENZIGIRIS!

Nick flops to the ramp and the fans fire up! Komander builds speed, and he FLIES to SWANTON Nick on the ramp! A rough landing no matter what, but Komander still kicks Nick in the ring. Komander aims from the corner, tunes up the band and the fans join in. Komander runs, goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but the fans taunt him with “Whose Mom?” “NICK’S MOM!” Komander drags Nick up, torture racks, but Nick fires hands! Nick is free, he goes to a corner, but Komander runs up. Nick goes up and over, victory rolls, TWO! Komander runs back in, but Nick sends him hard into buckles!

The fans boo while Nick takes aim. Nick kicks but Komander ducks it! Komander RAMS Nick into the corner, then hops up, POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and both men are down while the fans fire back up. Komander goes back to the corner, aims and springboards, but Nick slips around! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick is stunned, but he takes aim again! Komander rises, into Nick’s ROUNDHOUSE! Then up, up, WAYNE- TIGER FEINT sweeps the legs! And then a FLYING DESTROYER!! Nick tumbles out of the ring, staggers around, and the fans are thunderous as Komander builds speed!

Komander goes up, up, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit on Nick and Boston is erupting! Komander puts Nick in, “This is Awesome!” as Komander climbs again. Nick is in the drop zone, for CIELITO LINDO onto BOOTS!! Nick turns things around, then takes aim, ROUNDHOUSE! Nick roars, reels Komander in to pump handle and PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!!!

Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Television Champion)

Boston doesn’t like it, but Nick Wayne just became the youngest singles champion in ROH! The Patriarchy is certainly proud, but then Christian Cage leaves Shayna and Kip to go off somewhere. Will he prepare some other gift for his Prodigy as celebration?

 

Hologram is loading.

And Hologram will return to action next week for Playoff Palooza! Will the incredible win streak continue?

 

Top Flight speaks.

Dante Martin calls out Action Andretti & Lio Rush to say, “Guess what? We just came from Tony Khan’s office, and there’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, no more ducking, because we have a match next week.” Darius says it isn’t just any match. This has been going on for far too long, so they’re over the wrestling part of this. They want to fight The Cru! Forget the rules, forget the tags, it is a TORNADO TAG MATCH! Leila Grey tells Action & Lio that they’ll see ’em next week for Collision: Playoff Palooza. That is, if The Cru has the balls to show up. Well hold on, The Cru shows up now!

Lio & Action tell Top Flight that they don’t have to wait! Security steps in and keeps this from getting out of hand, but what will happen when there’s nothing holding these teams back?

 

BREAKING NEWS for a future Dynamite!

It will be AEW’s return to Portland, Oregon, June 11th, when AEW does the unthinkable! It will be the first-ever AEW Summer Blockbuster, a FOUR HOUR edition of Dynamite! That’s right, F O U R!!

Toni Storm is here!

The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion was present last night to watch from afar, but now she wants to get a closer look at tonight’s main event!

Mercedes Mone & Harley Cameron VS Kris Statlander & Julia Hart!

The CEO is reluctant to step back into the ring alongside the wild Aussie, but Harley’s probably the only person who would team with her at this point. Can Harley help Mone keep the Money (Wrath) Train on track? Or will the #BornAgainKristen and the Princess of the Black Throne make a winning combination?

The teams sort out and Mone starts against Kris for both a revival of their rivalry, and also a teaser of what could be for the Owen Hart Cup finals. The two tie up, and Kris SHOVES Mone down! The fans cheer as Kris flexes, but Mone tags Harley. Harley and Kris tie up, and Kris SHOVES Harley away! Harley tags Mone back in, and then picks up Mini Mone! Wait, wait, Harley tags in Mini Mone? Is this a substitution or a 3v2 Handicap now? Harley THROWS Mini Mone at Kris, which Kris easily catches. Kris passes Mini Mone to Julia, how just puts Mini Mone down to step on! Harley tries to roll Kris up but Kris stays up.

Kris drags Harley to her feet, then slips around to roll Harley up! Harley rolls through, Oklahoma Rolls back, TWO! Kris runs up, Harley headlocks, but Kris powers up and out. Harley tilt-o-whirls and HARLEY-GO-ROUNDS! Kris ends up in a corner, the fans fire up, and Harley shouts, “Feel The Wrath~!” Harley runs in, Kris dodges, and then Kris runs in.

The fans fire up, Kris tags Julia, and Julia takes the handoff to wrench and YANK Harley’s arm! Julia YANKS the arm again and again, then goes up the ropes.

Julia knuckle locks, then tightrope walks! The fans fire up as Julia hits an OLD SCHOOL! Then she adds a BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Cover, but Mone breaks it! The fans cheer, but Julia drags Harley up. Harley JAWBREAKERS, then runs, dodges, and ENZIGIRIS! Tag to Mone, but Julia drop toeholds! Julia dribbles Mone off the mat, but Mone gets free. Mone goes to a corner, Julia runs up and ELBOWS! Julia runs side to side, tags Kris, then goes back to ELBOW Mone again! Kris runs in and KNEES Mone down! Kris brings Mone around to scoop, and FALL AWAY SLAMS! The fans fire up while Mone flounders out and Kris flexes.

Kris goes to the apron, Mone blocks the kick, but Kris handstands out of the throw! Kris also avoids the sweep of her arms, but Mone goes up! Kris avoids the meteora, and they both stop as the other shows haymaker! They then look at Toni Storm, and then they both ROCK the other! Julia and Harley run up, but Mone and Kris DECK them! Then they fire fast hands with each other! The fans fire up, Kris KNEES low, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Kris reels Mone in and FLAPJACKS her off the apron! Mone flounders, Kris stands on her while doing the CEO dance! Kris hauls Mone up and into the ring, covers, TWO! Kris drags Mone up, tags Julia, and they mug Mone. Julia ROCKS Mone, whips her to a corner, but Mone reverses. Mone runs up, blocks boots and ROCKS Julia! Julia is in the ropes and Mone hits the STOCK DROP! Mone huffs ‘n’ puffs before she drags Julia to a cover, TWO! Mone is annoyed but she drags Julia up again. Mone snapmares Julia, runs, and METEORAS! Cover, TWO! Julia stays in this but Mone taunts Kris. Mone dares Julia to crawl to Kris, but then she bumps Julia off buckles.

Mone tags Harley and they mug Julia. Harley brings Julia around, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS her down! Cover, TWO! Harley stays between Julia and Kris, then brings her around. Julia JAWBREAKERS free, then CLUBS Harley. Julia CHOPS Harley at the ropes, CHOPS her again, then fires forearms. The ref counts, Julia backs off, but then Julia whips Harley to ropes. Harley ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans rally while Julia and Harley crawl, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as they hot tag Mone and Kris! The fans fire up as Mone CHOPS, knuckle locks and goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS!

Mone does her dance, then runs corner to corner, DOUBLE KNEES! Mone reels Kris in, the fans rally, and Mone snap suplexes! That’s Una Amiga, and then Mone gets Kris up for Dos Amigas! then THREE AMIGAS! But Kris stops it before quatro! Harley makes the save, and she helps Mone, only for Kris to DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through?! DOS DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through again and THREE DOUBLE SUPLEX!! The fans are thunderous, we see Jamie Hayter watching backstage and applauding, and Kris puts Mone & Harley in the drop zone! Kris goes up, but Harley rolls with Mone to avoid the 450 Splash!

The fans fire up as Kris tags Julia while Mone and Harley seem to have a tender moment of friendship. Julia ruins the moment with a STANDING MOONSUALT!

But Harley rolls Kris up! TWO!! Mone is stuck as Kris scoops Harley and hits a BACKBREAKER! Then Kris cording holds Harley’s arm, kisses the bicep, and hits the Hayterade?! Cover, Kris & Julia win!

Winner: Kris Statlander & Julia Hart, by pinfall

That wasn’t just the game winner Kris hit on Harley, it was a message sent to Jamie! Luther helps Toni Storm to the ring so she can applaud Kris, and even blow a kiss! Will Kris go Double or Nothing with Mone to then go All In with Toni? Or will Kris feel a Hayterade from the source?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision to not just wrap Spring Breakthru but to keep things going immediately from last night. Very good promo from The Opps after their win, and some great stuff with The Death Riders for once. The Death Riders throwing a fit was good stuff, and Moxley had a good promo to call out Samoa Joe. Moxley wants his match with Samoa Joe, that’s a great detail in itself, and that is going to be a great match for Double or Nothing. Claudio stepping up to Adam Cole’s Open Challenge was also cool, and that was a great match. Cole surviving was a good touch, especially with how it just pissed Claudio off more.

Very good promo from Bill & Keith, and it feels very obvious that Keith will betray Bill to side with Jericho. We will get Bill VS Jericho, Keith will screw Bill, but then something will happen where Bill gets his rematch and wins over Jericho in the end. Really good “letter” from FTR to keep up their passive aggressive nature, and you can bet they’ll just do all the same things again next week when they’re back. Great to see LFI back in full force, but let’s just hope they actually get going this time around. There could even be some interesting intertwining of stories if LFI challenge for the trios titles at Double or Nothing, putting Joe in a double header situation since he’ll face Moxley for the world title.

Good promo from Top Flight with Cru to hype up next week’s Collision. But does every post-basketball Collision need a nickname? And as nicknames go, “Playoff Palooza” sounds more like a promotional deal run at a supermarket or car dealership. Really good stuff from the Don Callis Family tonight. Great match from Knight VS Archer and a great win for Knight. Knight and Speedball have a good promo with Ricochet, and a match of Knight VS Ricochet would be awesome, I hope we see it before Knight’s off for Best of the Super Juniors.

Great tag match of Alexander & Takeshita VS Ishii & Rocky, and I should’ve realized watching ROH Prelude to Spring Breakthru was teasing something for tonight. Rocky was salty over that loss there, and then he got even saltier during this match. Great to see Trent back, and now Roppongi Vice is Don Callis Family! They can be the tag team of the faction while Konosuke, Kyle Fletcher and now Josh Alexander all go for singles titles. Awesome ROH World Television Championship match from Komander and Nick Wayne, and again to my surprise, the Prelude foreshadowed stuff. Nick brought momentum into this match, he won this title, and unless he loses it back to Komander at like Supercard of Honor, he probably will bring the title to NJPW BOSJ.

Another great handicap match win for Megan Bayne, but she’ll still be spinning her wheels until after Double or Nothing with all this other stuff going on. Great promo from Mone, Harley & Mini Mone before their main event tag match, and same for Kris having a good promo with Jamie Hayter. That was of course a great match, and Kris winning using Jamie’s finisher was wild. I feel like with Toni Storm paying more attention to Kris, that’s a sign Kris is beating Jamie to face Mone at Double or Nothing. It’s still anyone’s guess who wins the Cup, because Toni VS Kris and Toni VS Mone are both great matches.

My Score: 8.9/10
