Starboy didn’t even get a turn, but maybe that’s a good thing. Will nothing stop these forces of nature from taking over AEW?

 

Adam Copeland speaks.

“I make you nervous, Moxley. You don’t like having guys like me around. Guys that have done more than you, been around longer than you, paid more dues than you. It threatens your manhood or something, and it should. Now Mox, you said all I had to do was ask for a fight, and I did, but you dodged me. You hid behind your Death Riders. And then I finally realized, you’re afraid. You’re afraid of losing the AEW World Championship, because with the championship, we all have to sit through your word salad diatribes that just go around in circles. But without it, you’ve got no juice.

“And it’s not too long before your sycophants realized that you’re just a false martyr. You’re just a spin doctor. You’re not a messiah. Well, Death Riders are gone, man. We took ’em out. And Yuta, he finally seems to be doing some soul searching and realized the succubus you are. So here’s what I need. I need the Jon Moxley that set this industry on fire when he first came to AEW, not this coward. I need the Moxley who’s not afraid to go toe to toe with me. I need the Moxley who’s not afraid to get in the trenches, who’s not afraid to suffer. Because you will. And I know I will, too, but I’m a masochist, I get off on it.

“But I’m also not kidding myself. I have been in hundreds of world title matches over the last 32 years, and I know. I know that time is running out. I know that this could be the last time I ever fight for a world title. So I have to make this count. What I’ve got going for me is there’s no expiring on purpose, there’s no expiring on passion, there’s no expiring on grit, I’ve got all of those in spades, Moxley. So here it is, man. Cope VS Mox, one on one for the first time ever, for the AEW World Championship at Revolution! I have to do this. Los Angeles, see you soon.” Cope is ready, but will he make Revolution Rated R?

 

Mercedes Mone is here!

As promised, The CEO is going to watch her challenger with her own eyes, so she struts down to ringside, holding up the AEW TBS Championship. Will she be impressed, intimidated or neither with The Dark Peach of Stardom?

Momo Watanabe VS Serena Deeb!

The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Deeb wrenches and wristlocks, but Momo powers through to wrench and wristlock in return. Deeb rolls, rolls back, then spins and wrenches to a wristlock. Deeb wrangles Momo, has the top wristlock, but Momo rolls back. The fans rally as Momo wrenches and hammerlocks. Deeb headlocks for a takeover, but Momo headscissors. Deeb kips free but Momo hits the takeover. Deeb headscissors, Momo kips free, and the fans cheer this exchange.

Deeb puts Momo’s leg in the ropes, then DRAPING DRAGON SCREWS! Mone wants Deeb to pick Momo apart. TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Deeb looms over Momo while Mone laughs, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Deeb paces, brings Momo up, then stands her up to UPPERCUT! Momo wobbles, Deeb UPPERCUTS again! Deeb UPPERCUTS a third time and Momo staggers into a corner. Deeb runs in, Momo dodges, and Momo comes back, and blocks a boot! Deeb reels Momo in then KICKS her away! Deeb goes out, Mom runs up, but Deeb blocks the shoulder tackle. Deeb turns Momo for a HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Momo flounders away while Deeb grins. Deeb storms up to cover, TWO! Momo is tougher than that, but Deeb drags Momo around. Deeb stomps the leg, drops an ELBOW on it, then digs her knee into the knee.

Momo endures as Deeb pulls on the foot. Deeb hits a SPINNING TOEHOLD, then she ties the legs up for a DEATHLOCK! Momo still endures, reaches out, and she CHOPS! CHOPS! CHOPS!

Momo has Deeb for a fourth snap! And we see Billie Starkz watching backstage as Momo covers, TWO!

Momo stays focused and vows to end this. Momo drags Deeb up, half nelsons, but Deeb fights the suplex! Deeb switches, Momo switches, repeat! They keep going, Momo fights the full nelson but Deeb shoves her! SNAP GERMAN! Deeb then wrenches, hammerlocks, and PEPSI TWIST! Cover, TWO!! Momo survives and Deeb can’t believe it!

Deeb has the leg, HALF CRAB! Momo endures as Deeb sits deep on the hold! Momo endures, fights around, and Mone wants her to just give up already. Momo turns over, kicks at Deeb until she lets go, and the fans rally again. Deeb UPPERCUTS, runs, but Momo UPPERCUTS in return! Momo runs, Deeb follows to LARIAT! Deeb runs, into a ROUNDHOUSE! Momo fires up and pump handles, for a PEACH SUNRISE SUPLEX! Bridging cover, Momo wins!

Winner: Momo Watanabe, by pinfall

Now Mone is mad. She sets all but the TBS Championship aside before storming into the ring. Mone taunts Momo with the title, and pie faces her with it! Momo ROUNDHOUSES Mone! The fans fire up as Momo now goes up the corner! METEORA!! Momo shows anything Mone can do, she can do meaner! Will nothing stop the Dark Peach from shining with AEW gold?

 

Will Ospreay speaks.

The Aerial Assassin finishes being checked by the trainer, and then sets the icepack down. “The pain that I’m feeling right now, the pain I’m feeling physically, does not equate to what I feel mentally right now. The torture that I feel in my brain right now. I feel lost, I feel confused, I feel anxious that I am entering a match physically spent, emotionally spent, entering a match that I’ve never participated in in my entire flippin’ career, against someone I called my flippin’ brother. Tonight on my left arm, I wore my armband that symbolizes the United Empire.

“But as I was packing my bags, I saw that armband in the top corner, and I brought that down, and I wore it on my arm to hope that there’s some little symbol, there’s some little part of you that’s still in there. That band. That band of brotherhood, mate. It’s not just a faction, it’s a band of boys that looked after each other. Me, Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis, Jeff Cobb, The Great-O-Khan, Henare, Francesco Akira, TJ Perkins, Callum Newman, Gideon Grey. All of us together took over Japan. Young, hungry boys that only cared about each other.

“And one year, mate, one year ago, at Revolution, after I defeated Takeshita, and I saw my best friend, a man that I put in my home, a man that has picked up my son with me… Met me ringside, and I knew we was gonna get the band back together. I knew we was gonna get the boys in and we were gonna take over AEW. But that ain’t the case now. No longer are we taking over AEW as the United Empire. Now, we’re standing in opposite corners, and this time, we are locked inside of a steel cage. And I’m coming into this like a wounded animal, bruv. A wounded animal, locked inside a cage, backed into a corner, I got no choice but to fight!

“I’ve got no choice but to look at my brother, a man that I loved, loved him more than anything in this world, that I would do anything for ya! And instead, I have to fight back. I have to fight with every ounce of energy that is in my body. And know this, Kyle. Know that with every bit of love that I had for you, every knife that you stabbed in my back, I will stab you right back! I will grate up your face across that flippin’ cage! I will end this once and for all! Because my name is Will Ospreay, and I am on! Another! LEVEL!” The Aerial Assassin steels his heart before stepping inside that steel, but will he be able to end The Protostar?

 

Harley Cameron VS Tatevik Hunanyan!

Though she lost at Grand Slam: Australia, this wild Aussie has been getting wins on TV, on the Jericho Cruise, and even named her finishing move… uh, well, Her Finishing Move! But will we continue to #FeelTheWrath? Or is the hot streak going to cool off for the Spring?

The moment Harley’s in the ring, Tatevik CLOBBERS her! The fans boo, the bell rings, but Tatevik DRIBBLES Harley off the mat! Tatevik stomps Harley, rains down fists, and the fans chant “FEEL THE WRATH!” The ref reprimands but Tatevik soaks up all the heat from Sacramento. Tatevik CHOKES Harley, stops as the ref counts, then she kicks Harley around. Tatevik stands Harley up, kicks low and runs, to then just CLUB her! Then she runs, rolls off Harley’s back, and ROUNDHOUSES! Then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Tatevik drags Harley up by her hair, SMACKS her off the mat, but the fans rally for Harley even harder.

Tatevik CLUBS Harley, has her in a corner, but Harley ELBOWS her back! And BOOTS her down! And then BOOTS her again! Harley runs up to LARIAT! Harley fires forearms, then winds up to ENZIGIRI! Harley runs, YOU’RE A WIZARD, HARLEY! The fans fire up with Harley and she takes aim. Tatevik swings, Harley wrenches her, for HER FINISHING MOVE!! Cover, Harley wins!

Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall

Tatevik tried to take the fight to Harley, but she still felt the wrath! Could Her Finishing Move be the key to Harley finally becoming a champion in AEW?

 

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“The thing that I love most in this entire world is dropping people on their heads. And the only thing that makes it just a little bit better is doing it looking like a million bucks. And the only, only, only thing that makes it just a little bit sweeter is when I get to do it to Will Ospreay. Now, Will, you talk about this Steel Cage Match on Sunday like it’s some stepping stone. Like once it’s out of the way, you can finally make your way to the world championship and face Moxley to save this company. But you could not be more wrong. You are and always have been the one standing in MY way. In the way of me achieving my destiny.

“Now, prophecy says that when this is all down, I will be remembered as the greatest professional wrestler of all time. And Will, I’m sorry, but all your accomplishments, they mean nothing. Because all you’ll be remembered as is Kyle Fletcher’s greatest rival. And now, this band, this band that I ripped off your lifeless body, is supposed to represent a brotherhood? United Empire. But just like the United Empire, this thing is a facade. Because all it is is a way for you to stroke your own ego! And this Sunday, there will be no brothers in your corner. You are being locked in the lion’s den, and this lion has been starved far, far too long.

“I am hungry for revenge! Those fans, they can chant ‘Ospreay! Ospreay!’ all they want, until they are blue in the face, but it means nothing! Because I will paint that ring, that canvas, that steel cage in red with your blood. And I want you to remember all the pain that you have caused me all these years, because I am going to return it this Sunday a thousand fold. And don’t forget that you asked for this. Now say my full name.” Kyle Fletcher is determined to destroy Ospreay, but what will it cost him in return?

 

Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong VS The Infantry w/ Shane Taylor!

The Undisputed Kingdom has gone back and forth with Shane Taylor Promotions, and now they go 2v2! Will Collision be undisputed here in Sacramento? Or will Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo show everyone how to rumble, bad man, rumble?

The teams sort out and Roddy starts with Bad News & Tattoos. They tie up, go around, and Carlie puts Roddy in a corner. The ref counts, Carlie lets off while talking trash, bringing up that ambush on Dynamite that got Adam Cole. Roddy CHOPS Carlie! And CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Tag to Kyle, they CHOP and KICK away on Carlie! Dean runs up but Kyle knees low! Whip to Roddy’s CHOP! Then Kyle KICKS Carlie before a snap suplex! Cover, ONE, but Kyle rains down palm strikes! Kyle paces around Carlie, drags him up, but Carlie fires body shots. Carlie CLUBS Kyle, then brings him over to tag Captain Dean.

The Infantry wrench and headlock, but Kyle powers up and out. Dean runs Kyle over, flexes, and things speed up. Kyle hits a kitchen sink knee! Kyle drags Dean up, but Dean RAMS him into the corner! The Infantry mugs Kyle, Shane likes what he sees, and Carlie tags in. The Infantry double whip, then DOUBLE ELBOW! They split the wishbone on Kyle, then double BOOT! Cover, TWO! Carlie drags Kyle up, bumps him off buckles, and CHOPS! Carlie talks more trash, then CHOPS again! Tag to Dean, and Dean sends Carlie in for a forearm SMASH! Then “Psyche!” But Kyle TOSSES Carlie! Kyle dodges Dean, hot tag to Roddy!

Roddy rallies with a LARIAT and a CALF KICK! Roddy whips and DROPKCISK Dean, then he catches Carlie in the ropes! DRAPING BACKBREAKER! Carlie writhes, Roddy lifts Dean to SLAM him on Carlie! High stack, TWO! Dean stays in this for the team, but Collision goes picture in picture.

Roddy CHOPS Dean to the corner, tags Kyle, and they hit a GUT BUSTER KNEE DROP COMBO! Kyle drags Dean up, KNEES him low, then KNEES him again! Kyle KICKS Dean down, tags in Roddy, and Roddy drags Dean back up. Dean fires body shots, then ROCKS Roddy! Roddy KNEES low, whips, but Dean reverses. Carlie trips Roddy while Dean distracts the ref! Carlie has Roddy on the apron, Dean goes out to join him, they DOUBLE SUPERKICK Roddy down! STP soaks up the heat before they drag Roddy up and in. Dean CLUBS Roddy to the Infantry’s corner, tags in Carlie, and again Dean sends Carlie in for a forearm SMASH!

Carlie pulls of the “PSYCHE!” this time, then Dean ELBOWS Roddy! Dean then talks trash on Kyle, before he LARIATS Roddy down! High stack cover, TWO! Roddy is still in this while Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Carlie ROCKS Roddy with a forearm! Feed to Dean’s FLYING LARIAT! Dean goes back up top, Carlie hits a SCISSOR KICK, and Dean hits a DIVING SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Roddy survives the onslaught and the fans fire up! Shane says stay on Roddy, and Dean drags Roddy up. Carlie tells the fans to shut up, but Roddy fights Dean’s underhooks! Dean ROCKS Roddy again, but Roddy BOOTS back! Roddy and Dean DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up while both men are down! Dean and Roddy crawl, hot tags to Kyle and Carlie! Kyle BOOTS Carlie, KICKS him, then KICKS him again! Dean storms in but Kyle fires off a strike fest!

Kyle SWEEPS the legs, the fans fire up, but Carlie runs up! Kyle grabs the leg for an ANKLE LOCK! Dean hurries to grab Kyle in a SLEEPER! Kyle still holds onto Carlie, but then he shifts to SAIDO! Dean flounders, Kyle gives him AX & SMASH! Kyle runs in at Carlie, forearm SMASH! Kyle wrenches and ELBOW BREAKERS! Carlie fires a forearm, Kyle KICKS, then Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Body scissors are on tight and Carlie is fading! Dean hurries to CLAWS Kyle’s face! The ref reprimands and fans boo, but Kyle still lets Carlie go. The Infantry regroups, they double whip Kyle, but Kyle grabs ropes!

Kyle TOSSES Dean, SOBATS Carlie, and tags Roddy! Kyle has PENALTY KICK for Carlie while Roddy WRECKS Dean with a dropkick! Roddy shouts to “KYYYLE~!” SWEEP THE LEG!! Cover, Undisputed Kingdom wins!

Winners: Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong, by pinfall

Another big win for this dynamic duo, could Kyle & Roddy make the entire AEW Tag Division undisputed on the other side of Revolution?

 

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Calils says since he and Konosuke Takeshita have joined forces, “Life is good, brother. Life is very good.” They’re on a ride, and Kenny will not interrupt it. They called Omega the “God of Wrestling,” but there’s a new god! Because he is here, each and every day, defending the AEW International title while Kenny Omega, God bless him, no ill will here, sits in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of his stomach! How long until those guts explode? And at Revolution, that will be the last match, the last time, that the wrestling world sees Kenny Omega! Because “they” won’t just beat Omega a third time, they will END him!

 

AEW hears from Bandido & Gravity.

After the ambush beatdown by The Learning Tree last Thursday on ROH, The Most Wanted tells them that while he doesn’t know their problem with him and his brother, just know that they won’t get away acting like cowards! Fight them like men! Gravity tells Jericho, if you want to finish things with him and his brother, meet him at Revolution! Bandido asks if Gravity is sure about that. Si, carnal! Gravity wants Jericho 1v1 at Revolution, for the ROH World Championship!! The Space Cowboys are ready to ride into the City of Angels, but can Gravity bring down The Nueve?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“Adam Copeland and I are so different. We are not the same animal. We are barely the same species. But it’s funny how much we do have in common. Copeland came up the hard way. Poverty, starvation, drives across frozen lakes. We’re the last of a dying breed, you and I. On the road every single night, busting your ass through injuries. Through every obstacle they want to throw in your path. Chasing a dream, this fantasy. You can’t see, but you can feel it in your heart, you can almost feel it on your fingertips. The dream is to one day wrap that gold around your waist, feel that gold in your hands, to be world champion.

“That’s what drives you, man. That passion, that drive, every single night. You’d sacrifice it all for one more chance to play the game. Once you get there, man, you don’t wanna give it up for anything. That’s what this is about. Respect, hmm? I want to respect Adam Copeland, I want to like Adam Copeland, I really do. And I really tried. But, I just don’t get what you’re about, man. And when I get my hands around your busted neck, and I will, should I show you mercy? Would you show me mercy? Did you show my people mercy?

“When you hear the sound of your spinal column busting and cracking and popping and breaking, and you hear that sound reverberating in your skull and your eardrums…! You will feel what respect feels like.” The Maniac has said his piece, but will there be any piece of either man left after tomorrow night?

 

Holo.grm VS Dralistico!

Updated and reloaded, still as fast as ever and still undefeated like before he left, the high-tech luchador has already checked Beast Mortos off his list of payback. La Faccion Ingobernable now sends The Prince of Silver & Gold, but will Dralistico keep things tranquilo? Or will he just be number 17 on Hologram’s record?

The bell rings and the fans rally for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” Hologram runs up, Dralistico leaps over, but then Dralistico dodges the boot! Hologram dodges a haymaker, but so does Dralistico. Dralistico shoves Hologram to a corner, but Hologram goes up and over, then handsprings away! Things keep moving, Dralistico goes up and up and over! Hologram sunset flips, Dralistico rolls through, but Hologram ducks a kick! Roll up, ONE, and Dralistico has a lateral press! ONE, both luchadores kip up, and the fans fire up for this opening exchange. Hologram and Dralistico reset as “LUCHA! LUCHA!” echoes out. The two reset, but Dralistico kicks low.

Dralistico hushes the fans, then CHOPS Hologram against the ropes! The fans fire up for “OTRA! OTRA!” Dralistico nods, and he brings Hologram up to fire forearms. Dralistico whips, hologram reveres, then he drops down, only for Dralistico to CLOBBER him! Dralistico CLAWS at Hologram’s mask, but Hologram kips up and arm-drags! Things keep moving, Hologram tiger feints out, then he jumps over the slide! Mule kick, then DIVE! Direct hit and right into the railing! The fans are thunderous and Hologram revels in that energy! Hologram drags Dralistico up and slides back in so he can go again! But Dralistico springboards to FLYING RANA!

Hologram tumbles out, Dralistico runs, and Dralistico FLIES! Direct hit, and Dralistico says tranquilo. Dralistico stomps Hologram, drags him up and sends him into railing! And then into more railing! Hologram falls in a heap, but Dralistico drags him up to SMACK him off the desk! The fans are torn but Dralistico puts Hologram in. Dralistico springboards for a SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Hologram survives and the fans fire up. Dralistico drags Hologram up for forearms, then whips him corner to corner. Dralistico runs to SPLASH, then he sits Hologram down to rain down fists. The ref reprimands, but Dralistico runs side to side to SUPERKICK!

Dralistico says tranquilo while he lounges on the top rope, but the fans boo and the ref reprimands some more. Dralistico hops down to argue, but Collision goes picture in picture.

Dralistico hears the fans rallying, and he digs his boots into Hologram’s face! The ref counts, Dralistico stops to argue again, but Aubrey Edwards says to listen. Dralistico puts Hologram on the ropes, CHOKES him, and claws at the mask! Aubrey reprimands, Dralistico stops, and he drags Hologram to the apron. Dralistico CLUBS Hologram, then gets space. Dralistico runs in to BOOT Hologram down! Hologram flounders while Dralistico taunts the fans. Dralistico brings Hologram around the way, then POSTS him! Dralistico soaks up more heat, talks some smack, then drags Hologram back up and into the ring.

Dralistico stalks Hologram, pushes him down, then has a cocky cover. ONE, but Dralistico grabs at the mask! Aubrey reprimands, Dralistico lets go, and Hologram goes to a corner. Dralistico storms up, bumps Hologram off buckles, then hushes the fans. Dralistico winds up to CHOP! Hologram falls over, Dralistico soaks up more cheers and jeers, then he kneels. The fans don’t seem fired up enough so Dralistico gets them more into it. Dralistico drags Hologram up, puts him in a corner, and winds up, to poke Hologram in the eyes! Collision returns to single picture as the fans boo and Aubrey again reprimands Dralistico.

Dralistico whips Hologram, Hologram slides out, and then Dralistico follows! Dralistico runs up, into a SPANISH FLY onto the floor! The fans fire up as Hologram rises up!

They CHOP and CHOP and CHOP back and forth! Dralistico shoves Hologram to V-TRIGGER! But Hologram SUPERKICKS! Dralistico wobbles, Hologram brings him up, but Dralistico RANAS Hologram to the floor! The fans lose their minds while both men are down on the outside!

Aubrey checks on Hologram, he’s still in this somehow, and Dralistico crawls his way over. “This is Awesome!” as the ring count is 4 of 10. Dralistico and Hologram trade forearms, then they trade CHOPS! We hit 7, the haymakers fly, but then we get 9! Both men leap in at 9.9! The fans fire up as the match continues! The fans cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Dralistico runs up, Hologram puts him on the apron, but Dralistico bumps Hologram off buckles, then GAMANGIRIS! Hologram falls back, Dralistico springboards, FLYIGN CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Dralistico is frustrated but Hologram survives, and the fans fire up again.

Dralistico brings Hologram up, underhooks, but Hologram wrenches and mule kicks! Then feint and SUPERKICK! Hologram lifts Dralistico, SIT OUT POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous for this lucha libre classic, and fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” Dralistico runs up, Hologram dodges by slipping to the outside! Hologram goes up, around, and repeat, to then GAMANGIRI!

Dralistico wobbles, Hologram climbs, but Dralistico gets under! Dralistico now springboards, FLYING DESTROYER!! Cover, with feet on the ropes?! Aubrey sees that right away! The fans boo Dralistico but he argues with Aubrey. Aubrey says that was way too obvious! Hologram rolls Dralistico up! TWO, SUPERKICK!

Mortos tumbles away, Dralistico is back, but Komander DROPKICKS! Komander builds speed, but Dralistico catches Alex Abrahantes! The Hype Man is a hostage, and Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but then Alex is sent into railing! LFI mugs Komander & Hologram, then stands tall. What will it take to settle the score between these lethal luchadores?

 

FTR meets with Daniel Garcia and The Undisputed Kingdom.

Cash Wheeler tells the group that they asked them all here because after last week, that wasn’t FTR’s best presentation. After Dynamite last week, then losing to them on Collision in a match they should’ve won, emotions ran high, that’s their bad. FTR is more professional that that. Dax Harwood says not him. He doesn’t apologize for not shaking hands. The only thing he apologizes for is stooging himself off to the referee. Kyle & Roddy were in the ring with the absolute best team last week, and the absolute best team should’ve won last week. Roddy asks “KYLE~!” if he hears this. Because Roddy’s pretty sure the best tag team did win last week.

Kyle says too true. But Kyle says one way or another, that victory was tainted. So to do the right thing, they’ll run it back. FTR agrees, the rematch is set for next week’s Collision! FTR heads out, as do Kyle & Roddy, but Adam Cole wants to talk with Garcia. Cole knows Garcia knows that Cole deserves his own rematch given what Shane Taylor Promotions did. But after tonight, we’ll just have to see if Garcia’s still TNT Champion. Garcia says that’s cute. But we will see. As much as Garcia wants to continue this conversation, he has to go defend his title. Cole says go get ’em, champ. Garcia heads out, will he still be the Face of TNT?

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Lexy Nair is with Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin and notes that their AEW World Tag Team Championship match for Revolution is set against The Outrunners. Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum have been training hard, and they have a match tonight against The Premier Athletes, hoping to win and build momentum. With that said- MVP cuts Lexy off to say, “With that being said, let me say this. The Outrunners are so entertaining. They make you feel good, they make you feel happy, they make you laugh. They’re entertaining. But we’re about a different kind of entertainment

“We like violent, savage entertainment. Blood, pain. We don’t wanna make you laugh, we wanna make you cringe, we wanna make you gasp. The Outrunners are the underdogs. And that’s why most of you pathetic people that watch this, you identify with underdogs because in life, you are an underdog. But Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin have never been underdogs. They’ve only ever been the top dogs. And what they are going to do to your underdogs is they are going to make them suffer. They are going to hurt them, badly. And you know what you do to a dog when it’s suffering? You put it down. We’re the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.”

The Syndicate heads out, but will it be so easy to kill the Youngest Men Alive?

The Outrunners VS The Premier Athletes!

Speaking of, Truth & Turbo are flexing and feeling good! But Mark Sterling gives the introductions for Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Everyone knows the Premier Athletes should be the team fighting for the tag titles this Sunday, “not these idiots!” But tonight, the Premier Athletes are giving “the thugs” of Sacramento a chance to be on their team. So when Sterling says, “Athletes,” you all say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohh…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Got ’em again! Will Smart Mark ever learn? Anyway, the teams sort out, Truth starts against Nese, and the fans rally up. Nese flexes and the two circle.

Nese and Truth feel things out, but then Nese kicks low! Nese ROCKS Truth, fires shots against the ropes, then shouts, “ATHLETES!” The fans say “SUCK!” Nese whips, Truth reverses, then drops down. Truth hurdles then arm-drags Nese! And arm-drags again! And then DECKS Nese! The fans fire up and Truth tags in Turbo. Turbo reels Nese in, fires the fans up, and he suplexes high and hard! Turbo flexes, the fans fire up, and Turbo tags Truth. Truth takes the handoff, but Nese pulls hair! Tag to Daivari and they mug Truth! The fans boo, the ref counts, but the Premier Athletes let off. Tag to Nese, and the Athletes mug Truth!

Nese fires a flurry of haymakers, Sterling cheers, but the fans boo. Nese tags Daivari back in, they have Truth on the ropes quite literally, and then Daivari CHOKES Truth! The ref counts. Daivari steps off, and Sterling SLAPS Truth! That just pisses Truth off! The fans fire up as Truth grabs Sterling by his suit! Nese runs up, Truth DECKS him! Daivari runs up, Truth HOTSHOTS him! Truth storms in, tags Turbo, and they double whip to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Nese runs up, into a DOUBLE HIP TOSS! The fans fire up as Turbo atomic drops Daivari! Truth atomic drops Nese! Then the Outrunners DOUBLE DROPKICK!

The Premier Athletes bail out, The Outrunners flex, and the fans fire up, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Turbo storms out after Daivari and drags him up. Turbo puts Daivari in the ring, then puts him in a corner. The fans fire up as Turbo CHOPS Daivari! Tag to Truth and he CHOPS Daivari in the corner! Daivari sputters, Truth whips him to ropes, but Daivari reverses. Nese gets a cheap shot in, then Daivari LARIATS Truth down! Daivari stomps away on Truth, digs his boots in, but the ref counts. Daivari stops to tag in Nese, and now Nese stomps away on Truth. Nese digs a knee in, lets off as the ref counts, and Nese stalks Truth. Nese drags Truth up, Truth fires body shots, but Nese ROCKS Truth!

Nese whips, and he ELBOWS Truth down! Cover, TWO! Truth is tougher than that, but Nese clamps on with a chinlock. Truth fights up, but Nese TOSSES him out! Nese distracts the ref, Daivari and Sterling stomp away on Truth, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns, fans chant “ATHLETES SUCK! ATHLETES SUCK!” but Nese grinds Truth down with a chinlock. Truth fights up, fires body shots, but Nese keeps him from his corner! The fans rally as Truth and Turbo reach for each other, but Nese drags Truth away! Daivari tags in, Nese puts Truth in the corner to ROCK him! Truth ROCKS Daivari, too! Nese throat chops Truth! Then HOTSHOT BULLDOGS him down! Daivari is up top, DIVING SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Daivari is furious but he drags Truth up with chicken wings. Tag to Nese and Nese climbs, but Truth switches! Truth RAMS Daivari into the corner while Nese leaps over!

Nese comes back, Truth dodges, the LARIAT hits Daivari! Hot tag to Turbo! The fans fire up as Turbo DECKS Nese and DECKS Daivari! Then he scoop SLAMS Nese! And scoop SLAMS Daivari! Turbo flexes, the fans fire up, and Truth is now Turbo’s weapon! Scoop SLAM onto Daivari! The Outrunners fire up, and Truth says, “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” Handshake and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Turbo scoops Nese, but The Hurt Syndicate makes their way out here! Deja vu, anyone? But Daivari drags Truth out to POST! Nese rolls Turbo up, SOBATS, then covers, TWO!! Turbo survives and the fans fire up!

Nese tags Daivari, they double whip Turbo, but Turbo ducks ‘n’ DOUBLE LARIATS in return! Then TOTAL RECALL for Daivari! Cover, Outrunners win!

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

MVP tried to screw Truth & Turbo like he did Archer & Cage, but it seems The Outrunners are impervious to distractions! Will this finally be the time for Truth & Turbo to shine?

 

AEW shares footage from the Queen of the Ring red carpet event.

Toni Storm was being interviewed about her (co)starring role and what it means for this movie to be made, only to be attacked by Mariah May!! The Woman From Hell would not let Timeless Toni have even one moment of peace! Christopher Daniels and security had to drag her away, but the title match is still on! Who will have it all with their Hollywood Ending?

 

AEW hears from The Don Callis Family and… #MXMTV?

Johnny TV says, “The enemies of our enemies are our friends. That means we’re friends.” Brian Cage isn’t so sure about that, Johnny. But as long as Johnny is paying Callis, the Murder Machines don’t mind helping out. Okay, good enough. But speaking of those enemies, Mark Briscoe says it has been too long since he and Orange Cassidy conglomerated. The time has come, he and the Main Man with the Game Plan are gonna conglomerate with Big Boom AJ! Revolution, baby! Mansoor says if the other side is “The Conglomeration,” then guess what? This is the Cooperation! And together, they will DESTROY AJ, Briscoe, Cassidy and more!

Briscoe says, “We’re gonna bring the…” Cassidy says, “Boom.” RAH RAH RAH! The Sussex County Chicken & Freshly Squeezed are ready, but will the MXM Cooperation bring the DOOM?

 

AEW TNT Championship: Daniel Garcia VS Lee Moriarty!

Red Death and #TAIGASTYLE are two of the best technical wrestlers in AEW & ROH, with skill and grit beyond their years. That’s made even clearer by how they both hold gold in AEW & ROH. But will Garcia lose his to the ROH Pure Champion? Or can Garcia prevent Moriarty from becoming the #TwoBeltTaiga?

Lee makes it a straitjacket, but Garcia switches that onto Lee. Lee switches that back, but Garcia arm-drags free!

The fans fire up with Garcia and he goes running in, DROPKICK against railing! Garcia rises back up and the fans cheer him on! Garcia is feeling good while Lee sputters, and Garcia storms after Lee. Garcia puts Lee in, but Lee slides right out, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Garcia goes out to the apron, but Lee trips him up! Garcia flops to the floor, Lee leaves him behind, and the ring count starts. Garcia slowly sits up, Lee flexes and poses, but Garcia is back at 8!

Garcia goes back tot he ropes, Lee whips him and KNEES him! And whips and KNEES again! And then another whip, but Garcia turns knee into a roll-up! TWO, Lee CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!

Garcia fights that but then Lee fights the suplex. They go back and forth, and Garcia suplexes up and over! The fans fire up while both men are down. Garcia feeds off the energy from the fans as he rises, but so does Lee. Both men stand, stagger a bit, and Garcia counter punches!

Garcia counter punches again and again, then fires a flurry! Garcia whips, Lee reverses, but Garcia DROPKICKS! The fans fire up more and Garcia runs in at the corner.

Daniel Garcia teams with The Undisputed Kingdom to take on the full force of Shane Taylor Promotions! Will Los Angeles be undisputed? Or will AEW soon belong to STP?

 

Kenny Omega speaks.

“Takeshita, I’ll give you credit. You used me to get everything that you wanted. All of the questions that you had, I gave you every single answer that I could because I wanted to see the best for you. 2021 seems like a lifetime ago, but I still remember it very clearly. I still remember you being in this house, I still remember working out with you, I still remember watching tape, giving you advice. And I still remember you absorbing everything like a sponge, with your hands out, ‘Please, Kenny. Give me something that takes me to the next level.’ And then when I gave it to you, it still wasn’t enough. And I know that you think that Don can take you to the top of the mountain…

“Don himself thinks that you are the ultimate meal ticket. That you’ll be the one to shower him with the riches, shower him with all the gold, take him to the next step. But then what happens when you don’t? What happens after Revolution when I take your title away? Will you be thrown aside just the way that I was? Will you be thrown aside in the same way that Will Ospreay was? You see, the difference between you and Will Ospreay, Takeshita, is that Will opened his eyes. You’re still living in this fantasy world that Momsy, Dadsy, or Uncle Don is going to make something work magically, pull something out of thin air.

“And why is that? Because you’re afraid to go take it yourself? Well, I’m telling you right now, when it’s a singles match between us at Revolution, there is your chance. There is your chance, one on one, without Don, without any help, to beat me man to man. Show everyone that you’re willing to take that top spot. Show everyone that you are one of the best on the planet. At Revolution, Takeshita, you’re not facing the same guy that you had beaten twice in one week, Who you are facing is the guy that Don Callis himself used to call, ‘The God of Professional Wrestling.’ Do you really think you can beat this version of Kenny Omega?

“I guess tomorrow, we’re gonna find out. Until Revolution, I must bid you adieu. Goodbye, Takeshita, mwah. And goodnight, BANG!” The Cleaner has put Takeshita on notice, but will he still be The Best Bout Machine?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but wow, was this some go-home syndrome. All the promos and recaps were well done, such as Kenny right there at the end, but we got so many of them when honestly, Kenny’s was a touch redundant. He had one on Dynamite, why not use this one back then? Speaking of redundant, Cope and Moxley had promos again. Cope saying Moxley talks in circles doesn’t do much when Cope barely said anything new other than, “I have to win.” I’ve been saying this a lot already, but this is all learning towards Christian Cage cashing in his Casino Gauntlet contract to really throw things for a loop.

I did appreciate what we got of the “Mariah attacks Toni” that happened on Friday, that is a clever way to add to a build. Good promo from Bandido & Gravity to respond to what happened on ROH, and Jericho VS Gravity will be a great match, but I don’t see Jericho losing given the title is on the line. And I also did appreciate Ospreay and Kyle at least adding some new twists. Ospreay has a point that the United Empire could’ve been a thing in AEW, and Kyle bringing up how Ospreay was meant to get in on the Death Riders story was also a nice touch. The cage match could really go either way, and I suppose much of it depends on where the world title’s story is going.

The Opps winning a squash match but then getting nothing else was odd. I mean, good win for The Opps, but I guess with The Death Riders falling apart and also kayfabe hospitalized, there couldn’t be a challenge set for the trios titles here. Very good win for Harley with Tatevik also coming out the gate strong. Momo VS Deeb was really good, and Mone was good on commentary. Them teasing Billie hanging around continues to be interesting. It’d be rather interesting if Billie were to bypass another shot at the ROH Women’s World Championship to then go after and most likely lose to Mone for the TBS Championship. Because as I’ve said before, Mone is certainly retaining against Momo.

Awesome match from Hologram and Dralistico, and another great win for Hologram. LFI going after him and then beating up Komander was good stuff, and I would think Hologram & Komander VS Dralistico & Mortos is a tag match we get before Rush VS Hologram 1v1. Good promo from The Hurt Syndicate ahead of The Outrunners having their match. It was a natural move for Hurt Syndicate to go out there in hopes of distracting, but I like that it didn’t cost The Outrunners. Great win for The Outrunners tonight, but they’re definitely losing at Revolution.

We got quite the promo from The Conglomeration and the “Cooperation.” There’s no change to the match, but I suppose this means Lance Archer, Brian Cage & Mark Davis will be ringside to watch and possibly stack the odds against Big Boom AJ’s team. I would think the Faces still win but maybe it’ll be from The Don Callis Family ditching MXM TV. FTR had a decent promo with Garcia and the Undisputed Kingdom. FTR having a split attitude on how their match with Kyle & Roddy went is interesting, but at least we’re getting a rematch. That’ll be some good stuff, and might unofficially make the winners the next tag title contenders.

An awesome TNT title match for the main event, but being it was Collision, I figured Garcia would retain. Setting up an 8 Man Tag for Revolution’s Zero Hour is something, and I could see some “dysfunction” between Garcia and Cole could set up their TNT Championship rematch. And with that rematch, I feel like Cole should win. There’s a good chance he’ll have the TNT title while Kyle & Roddy face Lashley & Shelton for the tag titles. Golden Prophecy: All Elite Edition is certainly to happen in 2025.

My Score: 8.9/10

Adam Cole is here!

Atlantic City fires up for the Panama City Playboy as he brings the AEW TNT Championship with him to ringside. As such, the fans of course join in with the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” But he isn’t here to talk, he’s here to watch this opening match!

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Lady Frost!

Timeless Toni continues her search for her next “costar,” and she’s crossing paths with the Coldest Wrestler You Know! But will Frost go from ice to gold? Or will she be crossed off the list during this “audition?”

The bell rings, the two shake hands, and the fans applaud. Toni and Frost circle, tie up, and Toni wrenches to wristlock. Frost grabs the ropes to flip through, and she wrenches back. Toni reaches back to headlock but Frost powers up and out. Toni runs Frost over, the fans cheer, but then Frost kips up! Things speed up. Frost handsprings but Toni sidesteps. Frost roll sunder a lariat to roll back and SWINGING headscissor! Toni tumbles out and the fans are torn, but Frost watches Toni go around the way. Frost goes to the apron, avoids the leg sweep, then CANNONBALLS to the floor!

The fans fire up and Frost goes up the barriers. Frost handsprings to MOONSAULT onto Toni! The fans fire up more and Frost puts Toni back in. Frost storms up on Toni to cover, TWO! Toni stays in this but Frost stays cool. Frost whips Toni but Toni hits a THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands, then fires up! The fans are with her and Toni stands Frost up. Toni scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Frost writhes but Toni brings her back up. Toni hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Toni doesn’t let that bother her. The fans rally as Toni brings Frost up to her feet.

Toni grabs Frost with both hands, but Frost turns that into a wheelbarrow! Victory roll, TWO! Things speed up, Frost ducks ‘n’ dodges and LARIATS! The fans fire up as Toni goes to a corner, Frost runs in, SNOWBALL! The fans fire up more and Frost pushes Toni. Frost goes out, BOOTS Toni, then steps in to slips around, and she ROCKS Toni! Frost climbs, aims, and TORNILLO CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Toni stays in this and the fans rally up again. Frost rises, goes back to the corner, and she climbs back up. But Toni grabs Frost first! Frost breaks free, Toni ROCKS her, and then hits a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!!

Toni survives and the fans fire up! The fans rally as Frost aims, but Toni ducks the buzzsaw! GERMAN SUPLEX! Frost flounders away, Toni runs up, UPPERCUT! Toni waits on Frost, then gives a very dramatic look. SWEET HIP MUSIC! Then a CHICKEN WING CROSSFACE!! Toni brings Frost down, Frost TAPS, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by submission (denies Frost a title match)

The #TCM, Toni’s Classic Move, wins it for her, and Luther hands her a mic. Toni rests on the mat while she says, “This Whore You All Adore… This Slut You Can’t Rebut… This tramp is still THE CHAMP! And my gawd, what a frosty little slop tart. Now I know there’s a fresh batch of tarts back there, wanting to take a shot at this wide load that holds the gold. Yes, that’s right. Everyone’s coming for Toni Storm. But you got it all wrong, darling! Toni Storm comes for everybody! So if you’re tits can take the hits, then I’m not a hard woman to find. I could be right here.” Then she goes outside and says she could be here, or here next to this man.

Or here, down the ramp. Here with this gentlemen, by the stage, or on this bloody boardwalk! Toni goes outside of the arena and says she will be ready, sweaty, here, queer, and TIMELESS~! Toni revels in the brisk evening air of the Atlantic City beach, but who will look to ruin all the fun?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

The Maniac AEW World Champion says, “When Katsuyori Shibata woke up on Wednesday morning, his fate was already sealed. He may as well have already been in the hospital. There’s nothing you can do about it, Joe, so I don’t want you to feel bad that all of the people closest to you are dropping like flies. And I struggle to find reasons to dislike Samoa Joe, I really do. The guy defined professional wrestling for a whole generation of us guys. He deserves the respect he commands. Samoa Joe is beyond reproach. But so was Bryan Danielson. Something to think about.

“Steel Cage for the world championship in Chicago. There’s this notion, this idea, that I should be scared to step into a steel cage with Samoa Joe. When you’re the world champion, every opponent is dangerous, every match is hard, every day is hard. I’m gonna do what I always do: my job. And I am exceptional at my job. You wanna lock me inside a steel cage? Lock it. Lock the door, man. This is always how this was gonna end. My affairs are in order. But if you subscribe to this notion that I should be scared, well then you haven’t been paying attention, Joe. You better make sure you thought things through.”

The Maniac has issued a warning, but will Joe even acknowledge it? Or will Joe make Moxley realize what fear really is?

 

$100,000 High Speed Fatal 4 Way: Rush VS Sammy Guevara w/ Dustin Rhodes VS AR Fox VS Kevin Knight!

Tony Khan’s dishing out more money, and each man has a 25% chance of bringing that jackpot home! Will El Toro Blanco, the Spanish God, the Whole Fox’n Show or The Jet be rolling in dough just in time for Mother’s Day?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for pretty much everyone in this match. All four men watch each other, then approach. Knight CLOBBERS Fox and Rush CLOBBERS Sammy! Rush and Knight then step up to each other. Knight fire a forearm but Rush eggs Knight on! The forearms go back and forth, then Rush CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Knight CHOPS! Rush CHOPS, and Rush wants Knight to man up! Knight CHOPS, Rush HEADBUTTS! Rush stomps away on Knight, stomps away, then “takes” Knight’s head to “punt” it into the crowd. Rush has the fans behind him right now as he and Knight speed up.

Knight drops down, then hurdles over, but Rush leaps! They keep moving, Knight scoops and SLAMS! Then UFO- NO, Rush moves! Rush arm-drags Knight, Knight arm-drags Rush, and then dropkicks cancel out! Both men kip up and the fans fire up! Cole is still on commentary, he likes this one, too. But then Fox and Sammy DROPKICK Rush and Knight out of the ring! The fans fire up for Fox and Sammy, Fox BOOST the lariat away to then tilt-o-whirl and waistlock. Sammy switches, Fox switches, and Fox shoves Sammy. Fox then blows past Sammy, but Sammy hurdles, backflips, and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up so Sammy takes a bow.

Sammy runs corner to corner at Fox and he RAMS Fox in the corner! Sammy goes out, slingshots in, but Fox slingshots out! Sammy crash lands and Fox slingshots back in, SENTON! The fans fire up again, and Fox catches Sammy’s punch! Fox also hooks a leg, ties those up, and hits a modified FISHERMAN BUSTER! Rush is back to SUPERMAN FOREARM! Sammy JUMP KNEES Rush! Knight springboards to FLYING LARIAT Sammy! The fans fire up again, and Knight runs up on Rush, only for Rush to OVERHEAD SUPLEX him into buckles! Knight crashes down, the fans rally up, and Collision goes picture in picture!

Dustin checks on Sammy and he’s alright. Knight drags himself up with the ropes but Rush runs up to BODY BLOW! Rush whips corner to corner, CHOPS, then sits Knight down. Rush runs corner to corner, runs back in, but feints Knight out to BOOT him! Rush soaks up cheers and jeers before he rolls back and tranquilo! Sammy sends Fox into barriers, Rush feeds off more energy, then Rush goes out to SMACK Fox down! Rush HEADBUTTS Sammy, then SMACKS Sammy off a chair! Dustin coaches Sammy but Rush stares Dustin down. The Natural tells Toro Blanco that there’s no problemo here.

Knight storms up on Rush, but Rush SMACKS Knight down! The fans applaud while Knight slumps against railing. Rush talks some trash, then he smothers Knight! The fans get a bit closer to the action like that, but then Fox runs up on Rush. Rush ROCKS Fox first, SMACKS him off railing, then goes back to Knight. Rush SMACKS Knight, brings him around, and pushes him along the barriers. Rush CHOPS Knight, but Knight CHOPS Rush! Rush CHOPS Knight! Knight staggers away while Rush revels in the cheers. Rush has Atlantic City all cheering him on, and he goes after Knight to KICK his leg! Knight hobbles, but Rush fires body shots!

Rush keeps after Knight, CHOKES him on the railing, and the ref reprimands. Rush doesn’t have to stop, but he does as Collision returns to single picture. Rush whips Knight, Knight reverses, and Rush hits steel steps! The fans fire up while Rush writhes. Knight and Fox are in the ring, and Fox BOOTS first! The fans rally for Fox now, but Knight puts him on the apron. Fox ROCKS Rush, jumps up, but Knight DROPKICKS him down! We can see in the rafters, glowing with blue light, that’s Hologram!

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week’s Collision!

First: It’ll be live at 8 PM Eastern, just like tonight. Second: It’ll be on TBS, just like tonight. Third: It will be on THURSDAY NIGHT instead of Saturday! Make sure to adjust your DVR accordingly so you don’t miss a moment of the action!

 

Samoa Joe speaks.

“Hello, Jon. I hope you’ll forgive me, I’m not there at Collision this week, but it’s only because I’m paying you respect by being here in my gym, preparing for what I’ll do to you in a few short weeks. What that is, Jon, is helping you understand. I’m gonna help you understand what happens when you call a man like me out. And you’re going to understand that what you have done to Hook and Shibata is going to be visited upon your man, Claudio, next week. And that all starts with me understanding a little bit about you, Jon. See, I understand that you have the ruthless streak that is required to take on someone like me.

“I understand that you have the ability and the will to come after someone like me. But you see, Jon, I had to put this match in a cage. Cuz there’s something else that I understand about you. The Jon Moxley I look at today doesn’t have the heart to stand in front of me. The Jon Moxley I see today doesn’t have the balls to get into a ring and get into an actual firefight with a man like me. And Jon, come Chicago, at Beach Break, I will break you. And when you turn around to run, with nowhere to go, I am Samoa Joe. I will be the next AEW World Champion. And Jon Moxley, I will make you understand.”

Lexy Nair is with Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum with their 1980s standard definition, and brings up how Roppongi Vice got in their faces and then beat them up. She understands they have a response to that. Truth says yeah, he’s got something to say! Trent, Rocky, Truth gets you’re upset! He gets you feel disrespected. But maybe the Outrunners get a little loud sometimes. So what? Maybe they flex a little too much. So what? Maybe they spin a little too fast. So what?! Turbo says if Rocky & Trent wanna get physical, let’s get physical! They’ll settle this where it counts! When you’re face to face with The Outrunners, some are scared to death! But some are scared to live!

Truth & Turbo shake it out, will the Youngest Men Alive show Azucar & #JustTrent what respect is really about?

CRU speaks.

Lio Rush says, “It was inevitable that the story ended with the way that it did.” Action Andretti adds, “With Top Flight landing flat on their faces.” They’re not in AEW to waste time. And any more time spent on Darius & Dante is a waste of time. They tried to walk away, drift off into the sunset, but “you two children couldn’t handle being without us.” Top Flight couldn’t stand being in the rearview mirror. CRU hopes Top Flight will learn a lesson. And that lesson is you should #FearCRU. Either you’re CRU, or you’re enemy.

 

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???

Platinum Max is in the ring again, and he tells Atlantic City, “You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that clearly false statement, but Caster says, “You people just witnessed a 15 minute time limit draw. And that got me thinking. No one in AEW could survive FIVE minutes in the ring with Platinum Max!” The fans boo but Caster says let’s put five minutes on the clock! The tech guys oblige, and Caster says before his next “victim” comes out here, he wants the people here in AC to prove that they’re not just a bunch of drunk, degenerate tourists! He wants them to do the chant correctly!

“Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster is already laughing at how “bad” the fans are doing. That was not full participation, please do better. But let’s get to business! Who can survive FIVE with the Best Wrestler Alive? It’s DANIEL GARCIA!

Backstage interview with with Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn.

Lexy is with the Pride of Professional Wrestling & Daddy Ass, and Bowens wants her to remember he is also the 5 Tool Player, the perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, “The Look” and “The It Factor.” Bowens is here in his home state of New Jersey to tell us all that he intends to use all five tools to climb to a championship opportunity. Doesn’t that sound great? But then in steps Blake Christian & Lee Johnson. Vanilla Babyface tells Bowens all he is hearing right now is blah blah blah. Let’s be real: Bowens may have won against Blake three weeks ago, but those people weren’t talking about Bowens beating Blake.

The talk was about Bowens being outshined by Blake! Big Shotty says Bowens needs to listen because he means this with all the disrespect in the world. Johnson believes he is 150% better! After watching Blake soften Bowens up, Johnson knows how to put Bowens down. Bowens says wow, outshined him? That’s not possible. And 150% better? Well, then step up to the plate and get MOLLY WHOPPED by the 5 Tool Player! Any time, anywhere. Blake & Lee leave, when and where will Big Shotty take his shot?

 

The Gates of Agony VS Ray Chas & Goldie!

The Hurt Syndicate claimed we’d see Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona way down the line after they lost in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. But the Cameroonian Prince says there are things much worse than death. They took a bite of the baddest apple on the tree, and the Samoan Lion says it made them SICK! Compared to that, only agony awaits! This is a message sent to Big Bill & Bryan Keith, will it be received loud and clear?

Cover, Gates win!

Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall

The CRU is watching ringside, acting unimpressed. But will Kaun & Liona make sure Lio & Action are next after Bill & Keith? But speaking of, Bill calls them out from the tron! Last week, Bill & Keith called them out. They’re in the parking lot. They don’t come to you, you come to them! Kaun & Liona say bet! The Gates leave the ring, go to the back, and find their way to the parking lot! Will we get quite the battle of titans in Atlantic City?

 

AEW returns and…

The Gates have found the Redwood & Bad Apple! The brawl is on right in front of the Mack trucks! Bill SMACKS Liona off one, but Kaun THROWS Keith into fencing! Bill BOOTS Kaun, kicks more fencing out of the way, then he picks up a swivel chair! Bill SLAMS the chair, but Kaun avoids disaster! Liona SMACKS Bill with a trash can lid! Bill grabs some poor passerby by the face, and THROWS him at Liona! Liona catches the guy, throws him aside, and then he stares Bill down. Only for Keith to jump on Liona with a SLEEPER! Kaun is up and he ROCKS Bill! Liona spins around to swing Keith off him and into a truck!

Bill and Kaun brawl, Liona runs up, but Keith avoids the trash can attack! This brawl is gonna keep going, but the show must go on, too! Will security be able to stop this carnage before it goes too far?

Dax crawls to the ROPEBREAK! The leglock is undone, and Dax drags Roddy to the ropes. Dax HIP DROPS the bad leg! The ref reprimands but Dax taunts Kyle. Stokely likes how this is going now, and Dax drags Roddy around by the bad leg. Dax stomps the leg, Collision returns to single picture, and Dax steps over, only for Roddy to BOOT him away! Dax hits POST! Cash hurries to tag in, and he hurries to stay between Kyle and Roddy!

Roddy dodges Cash, hot tag to Kyle! Kyle DUMPS Cash out, ROCKS Dax, then runs to FLYING KNEE Cash down! The fans fire up but Dax rushes out there! Kyle fires off a strike fest on Dax, then LEG SWEEPS! Kyle pushes Cash into the ring, runs up in the corner, and forearm SMASHES! Then a wrench and ELBOW BREAKER! Kyle KICKS, KNEES, and suplexes, ARMBAR TAKEDOWN! Cash flails, but Kyle shifts to the leg! ANKLE LOCK!! But Dax has a SLEEPER on Kyle! Kyle slips down, UP KICKS, and then he sends Cash into Dax! O’Conner Roll, TWO and Kyle ROCKS Dax! Cash rolls Kyle up, with tights! TWO!!

Kyle KNEES Cash, then AX & SMASH!! Cover, TWO!! Cash survives and Kyle is a bit frustrated, but Kyle goes back for a leg. ANKLE LOCK!! Cash hobbles up, hot tag to Dax! But Kyle BACKDROPS Dax! Roddy coordinates, they FOREARM ENZIGIRI COMBO! Roddy tags in, hobbles around, and manages to run, but Cash CLOBBERS Kyle! Roddy runs into a SHATTER MACHINE!! Cover, FTR scores the second fall!!

FTR: 1; Paragon: 1

And now it all comes down to the third and final fall! The fans boo and Cole is frustrated but Stokely fist-bumps FTR. The teams reset, fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Cash goes up, Dax reels Roddy in, but Kyle SHOVES Cash off the corner! Roddy fights the lift to then give Kyle a target, FLYING KNEE! Jackknife bridge, TWO!! FTR survives, but Dax gets a KICK! KNEE! AX and DOUBLE SMASH!! Roddy hobbles to the cover while Kyle PLANCHAS Cash! TWO!! Dax survives, Cole is concerned, but Stoke coaches his guys. Roddy tags Kyle and the fans rally up even more.

Roddy & Kyle stand Dax up, Roddy runs, but Cash again CLOBBERS Kyle! But Roddy fights off Shatter Machine this time! And Kyle’s back to CLOBBER Cash! Roddy JUMP KNEES Dax, then he and Dax give him TOTAL ANNIHILATION!! Kyle covers, Cash gives Dax the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts three, but then he sees the foot!! The fans and Paragon think they’ve won, but no, this is a mockery of this feud’s ignition point! The match is going to keep going, and Cash CHOP BLOCKS Roddy in the confusion! Kyle grabs Cash’s leg to ANKLE LOCK!! But Cash isn’t legal! Cash turns over, CLAWS Kyle’s eyes, feed to Dax’s roll-up, with tights! TWO!!!

Kyle is up, but into a SHATTER MACHINE!!!! Cover, FTR WINS!!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall, 2-1 score

Stokely cheers as he makes all the difference! Will the Top Guys continue to win by any means necessary until they’re back on top of AEW? WAIT! Daniel Garcia storms his way out here! He has a mic and a crowbar, but which one is he gonna use?! Stoke has Garcia hold on, the ref tells Garcia to stand down, but Garcia says what he really wanted to do is come down and beat all three of them over the head with the crowbar. “But I can’t. Because I have too much love for the both of you. And I thought you two had a lot of love for me, too. Because any time that one of my so-called mentors left me high and dry, left me stranded, you guys were there to pick up the pieces and put me back on my feet.”

The fans rally for Garcia, and Garcia says after what FTR did to Adam Copeland and 2Point0, and then after they tried to break Garcia’s neck, Garcia was left looking for answers. But Garcia realized that he won’t get those answers just standing around having a therapy session with them. The fans say use the crowbar then! Garcia says he has an idea. Next week, it doesn’t matter if it is Dax, Cash, Stokely, all of them, fifteen of them, a hundred of them, FTR, CPR, the ER, it doesn’t matter! Just meet him in the ring so he can beat the answers out of them!! The fans fire up for that! Who will accept this challenge from an enraged Red Death?


My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, but wow, six years and they haven’t learned how to not be redundant. While Moxley and Samoa Joe had good promos, Moxley having two promos is stupid. Skip the video one Moxley did backstage and just give us Moxley responding in anger to what Joe had to say. Same effect, but much more efficient. To be fair, I feel like a good number of this night was thrown together last minute. Because hey look, another match with “prize money” on the line when we know that’s kayfabe. It was still an awesome match from all four guys, with Hologram watching a la Sting and Darby, but what’s the point of a fake money prize? Sammy calls out Adam Cole here, why not make it some kind of TNT Championship #1 contender’s match?

Very good match from Storm VS Frost and a very good promo from Storm, and while we know Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter is set, this feels like someone is going to challenge Storm for Double or Nothing in an attempt to change the All In: Texas plans. The wildest thing they could do is make it Athena as her way of getting to the All In card. They could even make it title for title because it’s Double or Nothing, and the winner brings both those titles to facing Mercedes Mone, and they have ALL the titles on the line because it’s All In! But because it’s that wild, they won’t do it. And to be fair, they really shouldn’t because then who would ever get a belt off the “Ultima Dragon” they create?

Megan of course beats Harley, but I appreciate that it led to Anna Jay making the save. Anna and Harley can certainly make a great team to battle Megan & Ford, but I feel like Megan & Ford win mostly because of Megan. Awesome match from Alexander VS Brody, and I really like that on the same day Konosuke and El Phantasmo have a 15 minute time limit draw in NJPW, Alexander and Brody have one here in AEW. Archer getting involved was also good stuff, but there’s no word on when Buddy Matthews is getting back so I’m not sure the chances of Hounds of Hell VS Don Callis Family.

But after that good promo from the Outrunners, I bet we get them and Brody working together as rather strange bedfellows. Very good stuff with Gates of Agony. They of course squashed their opponents tonight, but I like that we got a brawl of them and the former Learning Tree. Though, the brawl could’ve been a bit better, but I understand how no one wanted to fall on that hard concrete of the parking lot. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a tag match now, helping reestablish both teams in the tag division. But while CRU had a good promo to say they’re done with Top Flight, they’re like chihuahuas barking a big game thinking they can go against Kaun & Liona in a fair fight.

Caster adding a time limit to his Open Challenge was hilarious, since it added to how humiliating it was for Caster to lose fast. And Garcia answering the challenge also helped tie into tonight’s main event with FTR. Which also seemed rather out of nowhere, but it did make sense in story for FTR to go 2 outta 3 with Kyle & Roddy. Great main event with that, and I actually like Stokely’s strategy of forgoing the first fall to avoid any further damage. As such, FTR of course pulled off the comeback to win out, allowing Garcia to confront them. Thankfully, Garcia didn’t side with FTR, I had feared they’d do a lame bit of logic leaping. Garcia against either Dax or Cash will be a great singles match, and I feel like Cope will make some sort of heroic return so Garcia can have a tag partner to face FTR at Double or Nothing. Then Garcia turns.

My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY

8 Man Tag: Kenny Omega, Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight VS Ricochet, Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks!

The Cleaner is back and he’s ready to clean up the mess The Elite have made. The Sussex County Chicken, Speedball & Jet are with him, but will they stand tall? Or will The One & Only join The Rainmaker & The EVPs in throwing a Superkick Party?

The teams sort out and the fans fire up as Omega and Okada are right in each other’s face! The ref has the teams calm down but the fans are already losing their minds! The bell rings, and we get not only AEW International Champion VS AEW Continental Champion, but the revival of perhaps the greatest rivalry in NJPW history. Maybe even in world history! Okada and Omega circle as the fans fire up even more. Norfolk is on Omega’s side and Okada is annoyed. Okada tags out to Nicholas Jackson and the fans boo. Omega says that’s fine, he wants after one of his old pals. But Nick calls out Speedball, so Omega says okay.

Omega turns, but then Ricochet & The Elite all attack! The fans boo as they BLAST Omega’s team off the corner, then they stomp away on Omega! The ref reprimands but The Elite & Ricochet soak up the heat. Nick CLUBS Omega, drags him up, but Omega CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Omega wrenches Nick for a wristlock. But Nick pokes Omega in the eye! Nick knuckle locks, CHPOS, then goes up, up, and shouts “LUCHA LIBRE~!” before the FLYING ARM-DRAG! Omega is up, but Nick arm-drags again, then has the armlock. Omega fights up but Nick wrenches and YANKS the arm! Nick hands the arm to Matt for ELBOW BREAKER after ELBOW BREAKER!

The fans boo, but Okada tags in and he wrenches Omega’s arm to CLUB it! And YANK it! The fans rally for Omega but Okada hands him off to Matt again, for MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada wrenches Omega, tags Ricochet in, and Ricochet goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Omega’s arm! Ricochet wrenches the arm, gives an ELBOW BREAKER of his own, then he brings Matt over for even MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada says one more time! Ricochet agrees, but Omega wrenches Ricochet’s arm! Ricochet fights and flails, Omega hands Ricochet off to Matt for ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada and Nick tell Matt to stop, that’s not Omega!

Matt slows to a stop, and then reaches up to touch Ricochet’s head. Being bald confirms it, that’s not Kenny! Ricochet argues with Matt, then pushes him! Matt SLAPS Ricochet on his bald head!

The brawling continues on the outside as Briscoe keeps after Nick. Bailey whips Matt into barriers, Knight SMACKS Okada off the desk, and then Briscoe whips Nick hard into a corner!

Ricochet is annoyed, but he stays between Bailey and his team to stomp away! The ref reprimands, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Ricochet reels Bailey in. The fans taunt Ricochet with “BALD!

Ricochet kicks and knees Bailey, and they coordinate to STEREO NORTHERN LIGHTS!

The Polar Express is on two tracks now, another NORTHERN LIGHTS for Knight while Ricochet hits a BRAINBUSTER on Bailey! They both kip up, they fist bump, and then Ricochet poses with Matt in such as way as to make it like Matt’s hair is Ricochet’s hair! The fans chant, “You’re Still Bald!” as Ricochet tags Nick. Nick drags Bailey up and reels him in. Nick calls his shot and suplexes, but Bailey fights it! Nick CLUBS Bailey for it, then tags Matt.

Knight DROPKICKS Ricochet down onto The Bucks!

The fans are thunderous again, and Omega rises! Omega builds speed and FLIES! Down go The Bucks, Bailey & Knight! The fans fire up as Briscoe sets Okada up again! Fireman’s carry and ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Briscoe hurries up top, but The Bucks distract the ref so Ricochet can SHOVE Briscoe down! RAINMAKER!! Cover, ELITE WIN!

Winners: Ricochet, Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks, by pinfall

Ricochet smiles as he gives Okada an assist that was outta this world! Will Ricochet feel right at home with with The Elite? Will Omega have to rethink how he battles his former friends?

 

The Hurt Syndicate arrives backstage.

And very excited staff and AEW prospects greet them with “We Hurt~ People! We Hurt~ People!” MVP says yeah, that’s real fun to say, huh? But y’know what’s even more fun? When they actually do it! MVP JAMS the one guy with his walking stick, then Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley beat down the rest! One guy gets dumped into a laundry basket! The AEW World Tag Team Champions pick up their title belts, and MVP says that first guy broke his cane. But hey, let’s address the elephant in the room. Lashley smirks and Shelton says hey, he was skeptical about MJF, too. But this isn’t about them trusting MJF. This is about them trusting MVP.

Shelton says c’mon, Lashley, he has to admit MJF is also funny, and that he liked that car. Lashley says he can buy his own cars. MVP says of course, of course. But this is what this is about: MJF can help The Hurt Syndicate. Has MVP ever steered them wrong before? And… If MJF screws them, then they will hurt him like he’s never been hurt before. Alright? They fist bump, and MVP says alright, time to get some work done. Will this finally be the night the All Mighty accepts the Scumbag?

 

Six Man Tag: The Opps VS Nick Comoroto, Rhett Titus & Myles Hawkins!

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs not only took the AEW World Trios Championships from the Death Riders, but they put the Death Riders and all of AEW on notice. The Opps are #NeverLacking, but how much more powerful will they become?

The trios sort out and Titus starts against Joe. The bell rings and the fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Joe smirks, then he ties up with Titus. Joe wrenches and wristlocks, but Titus breaks free to CHOP! Titus runs, but Joe CHOPS him off his feet! Joe JABS, JABS, and JABS Titus into the corner. Joe fires off more hands, then stomps a mudhole in! The fans fire up and Joe whips Titus corner to corner. Joe ELBOWS Titus, PELES him, then brings him around to tag Shibata. Shibata CHOPS Titus, then shoves him to his corner. Shibata dares someone to tag in, so Comoroto tags in. The Freak Beast storms up to shove Shibata, but Shibata CHOPS!

Comoroto CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS, repeat! The fans fire up as the CHOPS go back and forth again and again! Shibata then CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Comoroto KNEES low, whips, but Shibata ducks ‘n’ dodges to BOOT! Comoroto falls, Hawkins tags in, but Shibata KNEES him low! Snapmare and KICK! The fans fire up while Hawkins writhes! Shibata bumps Hawkins off buckles, and he tags in Hobbs! The fans fire up as Hobbs stomps Hawkins, then fires knee after knee! Hobbs whips Hawkins to a corner, but Hawkins BOOTS back! Hawkins runs up, but Hobbs SNAP POWERSLAMS! The fans fire up as Hobbs stands tall.

Hobbs runs and SPLASHES Hawkins in a corner! Then LARIAT! LARIAT! LARAT! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs reels Hawkins in for a short arm LARIAT! Hobbs brings down the straps, the fans fire up, and Hobbs gives Hawkins a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, The Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by pinfall

Hobbs took care o’ town bidness, and now the trios champs stand tall. Will nothing and no one stop Joe from taking the AEW World- WAIT! The Death Riders attack! Wheeler Yuta CLUBS Shibata down, then runs away from Hobbs while Jon Moxley CHOKES Joe and stomps away! Hobbs grabs Yuta and fires hands! The fans fire up but now Claudio is here, and he UPPERCUTS Hobbs against railing! Claudio then goes after Shibata while Marina Shafir stomps Hobbs. But Joe DECKS Moxley! Moxley bails out, Joe pursues, and Joe fires hands! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Moxley sputters, waves to his people, but that’s a signal to Claudio!

Claudio has a chair set up upside-down! He reels Shibata in, and Joe sees that! Joe lets Moxley go, but he can’t make it back in time! FULL METAL NEUTRALIZER onto the chair legs!! The same thing that did Hook in! Joe is furious but The Death Riders retreat, having done the damage. Moxley grins, but Joe grabs himself a mic. “MOX!!” The Death Riders leave, not caring what Joe has to say. Joe says fine. It seems to him that Moxley likes to come out here and ask like he’s the boss. But when they start throwing hands, Moxley’s just a little b*tch! Joe tells Moxley that he came out here weeks ago and begged for Joe 1v1! All Joe is trying to do is give Moxley what he wants.

Unfortunately, it just seems like Moxley doesn’t really want that… But Jon… You’ve already made your request! And Joe says he’ll give the people what they want, and that is very simple! If Joe is gonna fight Moxley for the AEW World Championship… Then that cowardly SOB Moxley will have to do it inside a steel cage! The fans fire up for that one! “Because my name is Samoa Joe, and I will be your next AEW World Champion!” Joe has raised the stakes on The Maniac, will there be no surviving Beach Break for the Death Riders?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with The CEO and thanks her for taking this time. Mone thanks Renee for having her. Renee says in preparing for this, she thought back to the first time they did this in AEW. Something Renee kept coming back to is how Mone says she is a global superstar on a global mission. Yes, and one year later, she is a global champion! NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion, and of course, the GREATEST AEW TBS Champion of all time. Renee says let’s talk the Owen Hart Tournament. The finals are set for Double or Nothing: Mone VS Hayter. The winner goes to All In: Texas!

Mone says she could go on and on about honoring the legacy of Owen Hart and the Hart Family. The Harts have a special place in Mone’s heart, but let’s be real. This isn’t about them, this is about Mone! Just over a year ago, Mone won her first AEW title at Double or Nothing, so what makes you think this year will be any different? Renee says okay, let’s talk Jamie Hayter. A former AEW Women’s World Champion, 11-2 on the year, and even that aside, just look at the tale of the tape. Physically, Hayter is bigger and stronger. Is Mone underestimating Hayter? No, of course not. But Mone has been in AEW for over a year, and what is she? UNDEFEATED!

So if we’re talking records, let’s talk about that. Renee says yes, true, 25-0 in singles competition, impressive indeed. Yes, it is! Mone has beaten the very best here in AEW, and even all over the world. Mone IS the best! Mone IS the greatest! She is #FourBeltsMone, and the world runs on Mone Time! Because every time Mone steps into the ring, she changes the game! And she has to give props where it is due, Hayter is really, really good. Tough, scrappy, and reminds Mone a bit of herself. Except for the terrible Scooby Doo style! Hayter wants to be a champion, but a champion can’t look like a friggin’ cartoon.

Renee says Double or Nothing is not one to miss. She wishes Mone luck and Mone just smiles. Will The CEO add the Queen of Harts belt to her collection? Or will she learn that no matter how Jamie looks, Hayter Hits Hard?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

AEW returns as Renee is now with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna & the ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. Renee says Nick is headed to Japan next week to enter the Best of the Super Juniors. What does it mean to him to be part of that tournament representing AEW in NJPW? Christian speaks up to say as The Patriarch and leader of this family, he prefers all questions being directed to… Jay Lethal steps in? What can Christian do for him? Lethal says actually, there’s nothing Christian can do. Because he is here to talk to the champ. Lethal knows it is no secret that many people here believe Nick is incredible in the ring, because he is.

But Nick is also young and has a lot to learn. In fact, he has a lot to prove. So how about Nick proves something tonight? The longest reigning ROH World TV Champion, Jay Lethal, and the youngest ROH World TV Champion, Nick Wayne, 1v1! Nick says he doesn’t know. He isn’t really warmed up or prepared. He was hoping to focus on BOSJ. Christian says, “He accepts!” Lethal says, “See you out there, champ.” Lethal heads out, and Christian says if Nick wants to be a champion, then he needs to get his head in the game. The Patriarchy leaves with Captain Charisma, will Nick have no choice but to prove something to Lethal and “Father Christian?”

 

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Miyu Yamashita!

While Double or Nothing puts the Owen Hart Cup on the line, The Timeless Champion is still looking for someone worthy of being her “costar.” Will the Pink Striker soon go for AEW gold? Or will she not pass her “screen test” with Toni?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Toni. Toni offers a handshake, Miyu accepts, and the fans applaud the sportsmanship. The two circle, tie up, and go around. Miyu waistlocks, Toni headlocks, but Miyu wrenches free to wristlock then headlock. The fans sing for “Toni! Toni Storm~!” as she powers Miyu down to a knee. Toni slips out the back, wrenches, then wristlocks. Miyu rolls, wrenches, and then KICKS a leg! And KICKS! KICKS! KICKS! Toni hobbles but she has the ROPEBREAK! Miyu lets go, but then she KNEES low! Miyu whips but Toni hits a THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!

Miyu guards, the ref reprimands about closed fists, but Toni lets off to fire up with the fans. Toni drags Miyu up, scoops her, and hits a BACKBREAKER! Toni drags Miyu up and snap suplexes her! Then Toni goes to a corner, climbs up, and the fans rally. Miyu springs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Toni flops to the apron then the floor, and Miyu fires herself up. The fans rally with her and she goes to the apron. PENALTY- NO, Toni blocks the kick and trips Miyu! Miyu hits the apron, Toni climbs up and gives us a closeup. But Miyu avoids the hip attack! Toni gets stuck in the corner, and Miyu takes aim! The fans fire up as Miyu literally kicks Toni’s butt!

Miyu KICKS Toni’s butt again and again and again! Luther protests and Miyu backs off. Luther makes sure Toni’s butt is okay, but then Miyu KICKS Luther! The fans are torn as Miyu CLOBBERS Luther, then she ROUNDHOUSES Toni’s butt! Toni falls off the corner and Miyu soaks up both cheers and jeers while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Miyu drags Toni up, then whips her hard into barriers! Toni hobbles away but Miyu pursues. Miyu fires the fans up before she runs up and KNEES Toni against railing! Miyu then brings Toni around with a headlock, and she KICKS Toni against barriers! And again, and again, and again! Miyu fires up, but Toni THRWOS her into barriers to CHOP! CHPO! And CHOP! Toni brings Miyu around, but Miyu puts Toni in the ring first. Miyu storms in, stands Toni up, and fireman’s carries, only for Toni to fight free and clamp on a SLEEPER! Miyu flails, wrenches free and THROWS Toni down! Then she BUZZSAWS Toni! Toni sputters, Miyu covers, TWO!

Toni stays in this but Miyu stays cool as she stays on Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again but Toni ROCKS Miyu! And CHOPS! Miyu fires up to BODY BLOW! Miyu wrenches and whips Toni to a corner, then runs up for a KNEE! Miyu brings Toni around, goes up and up and GAMANGIRIS! Miyu fires up and the fans seem torn. Miyu drags Toni into a COBRA CLUTCH, then throws KNEE after KNEE into Toni’s back! Toni stands up but Miyu KNEES and SAYANAGIS, while keeping the COBRA CLUTCH! Toni endures, Luther rallies the fans, and Toni fights around. Miyu pushes Toni to a cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO!

Miyu holds onto the submission even as she pushes Toni down, TWO! Toni fights up, fires body shots, but Miyu KNEES her in return! Dynamite returns to single picture as Miyu looms over Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again, whips her to a corner, and then KICKS! Miyu goes up the corner again, but Toni avoids the kick this time! Toni runs up to ROCK Miyu! Miyu shakes that off and ROCKS Toni! Toni ROCKS Miyu! The forearms go back and forth and Norfolk fires up! Toni fires a flurry and the fans cheer! But Miyu leans into the shots! Miyu backs Toni down like that! Toni swings again, but Miyu slips around to waistlock.

Toni ELBOWS free, but Miyu BLINDSIDE ROUNDHOUSES! And SUPERKICKS! And then ROUND- NO, Toni blocks that one to SNAP GERMAN! The fans fire up and Toni aims from the corner. Another closeup and SWEET- SKULL KICK!! Miyu hits Toni, but she falls back herself! Miyu crawls over to cover, TWO!! Toni survives, but Miyu will not let her go! Miyu drags Toni up, goes to run, but Toni reels her in! Miyu smirks, and she swings, only for Toni to duck and SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Miyu survives but Toni hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect and Toni is frustrated.

Toni storms around and the fans rally up. Toni brings Miyu in, Miyu fights the lift, and Miyu fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY BOMB!! But Miyu isn’t done, she BUZZSAWS again! Miyu fires up and runs, but Toni dodges! SNAP GERMAN!! Miyu flounders to a corner, Toni tries one more time! Take three for this closeup! SWEET HIP MUSIC!! Then STORM ZERO!! Cover, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (denies Miyu a title match)

Cut, print, that’s a wrap! Toni is an undefeated 10-0 in eliminator matches, but wait! The CEO is make her way out here. Mone shows off her four belts, and then has a mic to say, “Norfooooolk~! Shut the Hell up and say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. But Mone tells, “Toni, darling, good to see you. After I beat Jamie Hayter at Double or Nothing and win the Owen Cup, I’m coming for what I deserve: The AEW Women’s World Championship, darling~!” But wait! Speaking of the Hayter and she appears! Hayter tells Mone to say that to her face! Mone takes a swing instead! But Hayter blocks that, and DECKS Mone!

Hayter hauls Mone up, but Mone dodges the Hayterade! Mone runs away and Toni is rather surprised. Mone left her belts behind, but will she still grab the Cup? Or will we finally get a sequel to Storm VS Hayter at All In: Texas?

 

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Don Callis himself asks, “You know what I like? I like writing history. I like making history. And last week on Dynamite, Takeshita & the Canadian Assassin, Josh Alexander, they made history! They had one of the greatest tag team matches I’ve ever seen, and they put down Will Ospreay and the great Brody King. I loved it. I loved it so much, I wanna make history again this week with The Family. And this week, we’re going to, because Kyle Fletcher is going to dismantle The Hangman. And then, Kyle, it’s on to Double or Nothing for the Finals of The Owen, where you will finally put to rest the legend of Will Ospreay. And I can’t wait! Go get ’em tonight, kid.”

Kyle Fletcher says, “After I beat Hangman Adam Page tonight, after I beat Will Ospreay at Double or Nothing, I go on to All In, I TAKE the AEW World Championship. The Don Callis Family takes its place at the top of the mountain of AEW. You will have NO choice but to say… my… full… name.” Callis says he’ll do it. “Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, Kyle FLETCHER!!” Callis is all fired up while Fletcher is locked in. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down the Cowboy to then aim at the Aerial Assassin? Or will one Buckshot be all it takes to go Double or Nothing?

 

The Hurt Syndicate heads to the ring.

The fans sing “We Hurt~ People!” and at least they won’t get beat up for it as MVP, Lashley & Shelton go to the ring. MVP has the mic to say, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Now, as you know, we’ve been discussing adding a fourth member to our ranks. And according to our corporate bylaws, in order to do so, that prospect must receive a unanimous three thumbs up. Now, I had a conversation with the Standard of Excellence, and of course The All Mighty, and we’re gonna try this one more time. So please join me in inviting MJF to join us in the ring.”

Norfolk cheers as Maxwell Jacob Friedman makes his entrance. MJF already has a mic of his own, and he has them cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on and MVP says this is kinda to his point. MJF tells the fans, give it up for Shelton! Look how great he looks! Like c’mon! Standard of Excellence! Montel, what can MJF say that he hasn’t already said? A living legend, and one of MJF’s oldest friends. The fans chant for MVP, and then MJF looks to “Bob.” Lashley is annoyed that the fans chant for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” MJF asks if Lashley had a good car ride here. MVP says let’s just get to the vote already.

We all know MVP’s position, and remember the discussion. MVP says thumbs up. Shelton again says thumbs up. Lashley… Well, he thinks about it, looks to the others, and sticks out his hand. The fans cheer and MJF waits patiently as Lashley still thinks on it. Eventually, he says thumbs… DOWN!! MJF frowns and the fans boo, but Lashley just doesn’t wanna give in. MJF says, “Y’know what, Bob? I think I’m about sick of your s*it!” WHOA~! MJF asks what is it Lashley wants. MJF has given him women, helped him win a match, gave him money and a car. What intrigues Lashley? Maybe some Rogaine, “you big bald SOB!”

The fans fire up hearing that, and now MVP steps back. Lashley grabs MJF by the head and puts him in a corner! MJF shouts for MVP but Lashley reminds MJF that they hurt people! If MJF wants to impress Lashley, then go hurt someone. MJF says okay, okay, he’s sorry! Lashley’s made his point, MJF will do that! MVP has Lashley stand down and MJF can breathe again. MVP has Lashley & Shelton leave MJF behind, and can only tell MJF that he tried. MJF has to prove what he’s capable of, who will he hurt as part of his initiation?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS Jay Lethal!

The Patriarchy’s Prodigy was given his shot thanks to, well, The Patriarch. And while Nick won it on his own, Christian acts like he owns part of that title. As such, Christian put Nick in this position to face one of if not THE best ROH World TV Champion ever. Will Lethal ruin Nick’s momentum going into NJPW Best of the Super Juniors? Or can Nick prove he doesn’t need “Daddy” helping him anymore?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really championship material!

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick kicks Lethal’s hand away. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Lethal headlocks for the takeover, Nick headscissors but Lethal kips free. Nick hits the headlock takeover, Lethal headscissors, but Nick kips free. Another headlock takeover from Lethal and another headscissors from Nick, so Lethal kips free again. Another takeover from Nick and another headscissors from Lethal, so Nick kips free again. Nick bails out to stop the cycle, and Christian coaches him up. The fans rally as Nick storms up the steel steps. Lethal opens the ropes for Nick, but Nick chooses to enter from the other end.

Nick and Lethal circle, approach, and Nick kicks low! Nick ROCKS Lethal, CHOPS him, then the fans chant for “NICK’S MOM! NICK’S MOM!” Kip tells them to stop that, but Lethal puts Nick in the corner to stomp and CHOP! Lethal blows a kiss to Mama Wayne, but Nick CHOPS back! Lethal turns things around to CHOP again! Nick sputters and staggers and Christian swipes at Lethal. The ref has The Patriarchy back off, but then Nick kicks Lethal low. Nick whips Lethal to a corner, Lethal reverses, but Nick goes up, only for Lethal to stay back! Nick is confused, turns around, and Lethal arm-drags him!

The fans fire up as Lethal arm-drags again! Lethal then dodges Nick to waistlock. Nick fights, Lethal shoves him, hip toss and cartwheel, basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up for Lethal and he lines up his shot. But then Nick bails out, so Lethal changes his plans. Lethal DIVES and takes Nick down at the ramp! Lethal hurries after Nick, but Nick springs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Christian tells Nick to get up. Nick rises as the ring count climbs. Nick hurries into the ring just to refresh the count. Nick goes back for Lethal, and RAMS him into the steel steps! Lethal writhes and Nick soaks up the heat while Dynamite goes to break.

Dynamite returns and Nick whips Lethal corner to corner hard! Lethal drops to his knees, Nick soaks up heat, but Christian wants Nick to keep on him. Nick again whips Lethal hard corner to corner! Lethal falls to his knees, Christian nods, and Nick whips corner to corner again. Lethal stops himself short, then ELBOWS Nick away! The fans fire up, Lethal rolls Nick up, TWO! Lethal turns Nick to backslide, TWO! Lethal steps over, LA MAGISTROL! TWO!! Nick escapes, swings, but into the LETHAL COMBINATION! The fans fire up while Christian worries and Lethal covers, TWO! Nick survives but the fans rally for Lethal.

Lethal rises, calls his shot, and Lethal goes up a corner. Nick rises to trip Lethal up! Lethal CLUBS Nick in return, but Nick ROCKS Lethal! Nick climbs up, brings Lethal to the top, but Lethal fights with body shots! Lethal DECKS Nick, then takes aim again! The fans fire up for the MACHO ELBOW! But Nick rolls it into a cover! TWO!! Lethal is up, he blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! And then a “WOO~” and FIGURE- NO, Nick cradles Lethal, TWO! Lethal dodges, handsprings, but Nick rolls Lethal up! TWO!! Lethal escapes, fireman’s carries, but Nick CLAWS the eyes! Lethal runs up, Nick trips him into the buckles!

Nick runs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Nick then hooks and hoists Lethal up with the PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!

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

With the family watching, Nick gets the job done all on his own! But then Christian brings in the belt, and again holds onto it as if it is his. Christian then has Nick turn around, and Christian puts the belt on Nick. The fans boo this backhanded way of complimenting his “son,” but will Nick make the Patriarchy even prouder through the BOSJ?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

With that special event just weeks away, Tony Khan has agreed with Samoa Joe’s idea! Samoa Joe and Jon Moxley will now battle for the AEW World Championship inside the steel cage!! Will Moxley even survive with his Death Riders locked on the outside?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Live this Saturday but on TBS, Collision is in Atlantic City, so Toni Storm is gonna roll the dice! She gives Lady Frost a Championship Eliminator, will Frost have Lady Luck on her side? Or will Toin heat things up as we get closer and closer to Double or Nothing? Then given what Callis had to say about him, Brody King is coming back for revenge! Will the King of Death destroy Callis’ Canadian Assassin? Or will Josh Alexander prove he is a Walking Weapon?

 

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinals: Hangman Page VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The Cowboy is no stranger to this position. He was a finalist in last year’s Owen Hart Cup, only to fall short because of his many distractions and obsessions. But will Hangman return to the finals and redeem himself? Or will we get Ospreay VS Fletcher once more?

The bell rings and the two run up to tie up! They go around, Kyle puts Hangman in a corner, but the ref counts. Kyle pie faces Hangman as he lets go, and Callis joins commentary. Callis brings up the saying, “Virginia is for lovers,” but he’s gonna love seeing Hangman be exposed by Kyle tonight. Kyle wrenches Hangman’s arm, wristlocks, then cranks on the hold. Hangman rolls, slips through and wrenches to hammerlock, snapmare, and then CHOP! Kyle staggers back and the fans fire up! Hangman stares daggers at Kyle but Kyle bails out. Kyle walks off that shot while soaking up heat from the fans. The ring count climbs and Hangman paces.

The fans rally for #CowboyS*it, but Kyle storms back to the ring at 7 of 10. Kyle steps in, he and Hangman circle, then Kyle slips around to waistock. Hangman wrenches, hammerlocks, but Kyle works on an escape. Kyle ELBOWS free, then headlocks. Hangman powers up and out, but Kyle pulls hair to have the headlock again! The ref reprimands and the fans boo but Kyle just grins. Kyle grinds the hold, Hangman powers up, but Kyle wrenches Hangman to wrangle him down. Kyle has a hammerlock, and he says, “Cowboy S*it? More like ride ’em, cowboy~!” Kyle pretends he’s at the rodeo, but Hangman slips out the back to trip Kyle up!

Hangman SPANKS Kyle and Kyle is stunned! Hangman then ROCKS Kyle, ROCKS him again, and then bumps him off buckles. Hangman fires haymakers in the corner, the fans count along, but the ref also counts. Hangman gets seven as the ref goes to 4, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks but Hangman powers up and out. Kyle rolls over the dropdown, Hangman handsprings back up, and then Hangman BOOTS Kyle right in the face! Hangman goes right to the apron, but Kyle bails out fast! Archer & Callis applaud the quick thinking, but Hangman suddenly runs in and LARIATS Kyle into the timekeeper’s area!

The fans fire up for Hangman and he revels in it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Hangman refreshes the ring count, then storms into the timekeeper’s area to fetch Kyle. The ref has Archer stay back while Hangman drags Kyle up. Hangman then whips Kyle hard into barriers! Kyle falls in a heap, Hangman talks trash on Callis & Archer, then Hangman goes back to Kyle. Hangman again refreshes the ring count, then he stands Kyle up to whip him hard into railing! Kyle falls over again but Hangman drags him back up. Hangman puts Kyle in the ring, storms in after him, but Kyle bails out the other side. Hangman is annoyed but Kyle goes to Archer & Calls. Callis coaches Kyle up but Hangman storms over. Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman down!

Archer applauds, and we see Kyle has a bloody cut on his lower back, and that’s quite literal. Kyle still hobbles over to Hangman, stands him up, and whips him hard into barriers! Now Hangman slumps down and takes a seat. Kyle leaves Hangman behind, but Hangman drags himself into the ring. Kyle runs up and BOOTS Hangman into the corner! Kyle stomps Hangman down, then stomps again and again! The ref counts, Kyle stops at 4, but he sneaks some kicks in there. Kyle then notices the blood on his back. Hangman stands to CHOP! CHOP! And CHOP! Hangman runs, but Kyle hits a kitchen sink knee!

Kyle rains down fists and elbows, then stops to seethe. Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally for Hangman. Kyle double checks his bloody back, and then tastes his own blood! The fans tell Kyle he’s sick, and Kyle goes back to Hangman. Kyle stands Hangman up to scoop and SLAM! Hangman writhes but Kyle aims. Kyle KICKS Hangman, but Hangman just seethes. Kyle says okay, and he KICKS again! Kyle scuffs Hangman, KICKS, but Hangman blocks! Kyle fires hands but Hangman fires them in return! Hangman whips, Kyle reverses to break and BOOT! Kyle runs, but Hangman BOOTS him!

Kyle rebounds, into an Alabama Lift! Kyle sunset flips, high stacks, TWO and Kyle deadlifts Hangman! Hangman slips free, dodges, but then Kyle dodges, only for a LARIAT to flip Kyle upside-down! The fans fires up for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” while Kyle sputters and Hangman catches his breath. Both men rise up, and Kyle ROCKS Hangman! Hangman frowns, and he ROCKS Kyle! And ROCKS him again, again, and again! Hangman whips Kyle to ropes, then BACKDROPS him! The fans fire up for that serious hangtime, and Kyle goes to a corner. Hangman runs in and LARIATS! Snapmare and SLIDING LARIAT!

Hangman slashes his throat and brings Kyle back up! Fireman’s carry, but Kyle fires elbows! Kyle half nelsons, Hangman elbows free, then Hangman runs, but Kyle leaps! Only for Hangman to catch him! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives and Hangman snarls, but the fans rally up again. Kyle sputters and goes to a corner, but Hangman storms right up on him. Hangman winds up and LARIATS! And LARIATS! And LARIATS again! And again! Again, and again, and again! Hangman winds up after nine for number TEN!! Kyle slumps down and Hangman seethes while the fans fire back up.

Hangman stands Kyle up, whips him corner to corner, then runs up, only for Kyle to go up and over! Kyle comes back but Hangman catches him! FALL AWAY SLAM! Kyle flounders away to the apron, Callis is worried, and Hangman kips up! Hangman then runs to triangle jump LARIAT! Down goes Kyle and Callis is even more worried. Hangman climbs the corner, the fans fire up, but Kyle hurries to anchor Hangman’s feet. Hangman kicks Kyle away, runs up, but Kyle blocks the boot to ENZIGIRI, SUPERKICK, and he reels Hangman in! Kyle suplexes, APRON BRAINBUSTER!! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds!

Callis says Kyle is going to roll into the finals with that one! The ref checks both men, and they’re somehow okay to continue. Kyle drags Hangman up and they’re on top of the barriers now! The fans fire up as Hangman fires body shots, then he blocks a kick! Hangman trips Kyle and Kyle SMACKS off the barriers! Kyle staggers back to his feet, and Hangman sets up to ASAI MOONSAULT! Into an inverted suplex! TOMBSTONE on the floor!! The fans lose their minds as now Hangman returns fire, and Dynamite goes back to picture in picture!

The ref has to again check both men, and both men are still in this somehow. The ring count climbs, the fans rally up, and both men slowly sit up. Hangman springs in at 9, Kyle springs in at 9.5!! The fans fire up as both men stay in this! Hangman and Kyle slowly sit up and crawl on their knees. Hangman throws the first punch! Kyle comes back to throw one, but there wasn’t any sauce behind it. Kyle flops back down, and Hangman scowls. Hangman sits Kyle up to throw another punch! Kyle comes back to throw another shot, and that one had something! The two stand and the haymakers keep going! Hangman ROCKS Kyle again and again!

Kyle ends up in a corner and Hangman HAMMERS away! The ref backs him up, and then Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman! Hangman staggers to the opposite corner and Kyle smirks. Kyle storms over to Hangman, hoists him to the top rope, then climbs up to join him. Hangman fires body shots but Kyle still brings Hangman to the very top! SUPER- NO, Hangman slips free, and he SHOVES Kyle onto the crossbar! Kyle is stuck up there, so Hangman climbs up after him. Now Hangman brings Kyle to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Dynamite returns to single picture right as they crash land on the mat!

Norfolk is thunderous, and a standing count begins. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but someone has to go face Ospreay at Double or Nothing! Both men rise up, and they again throw haymakers from their knees. They stand, throw more shots, and Hangman fires a flurry! Hangman whips, Kyle reverses, but Hangman ROCKS Kyle! Kyle shakes that off to BOOT Hangman! Kyle runs, Hangman rebounds, and Hangman LARIATS! Kyle staggers around but he stays up. Hangman storms up on Kyle to whip again, but Kyle reverses, wrenches, and SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEXES! Hangman staggers to a corner and Kyle takes aim!

Kyle runs, but Hangman POP-UP SIT-OUT POWERBOMBS!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Hangman is beside himself! Hangman slashes his throat, vowing to end this! Hangman stands Kyle up, Alabama Lifts, but Kyle fights it! Kyle tries to lift Hangman, but Hangman kicks and flails! Hangman tries the Alabama Lift again but Kyle slips through! Hangman ROCKS Kyle, then ROLLING- BOOT from Kyle! Kyle reels Hangman in, hoist shim up, but Hangman slips free of the bomb! Alabama Lift and DEADEYE!! Kyle flops, Hangman covers, TWO!?!? Kyle survives and Hangman is shocked! Callis is very worried now but the fans rally up.

Hangman stands, paces, and then goes up a corner! The fans fire up for the MOONSAULT, but into BOOTS! Kyle runs up, reels Hangman in and hoists him up, LAST RIDE POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Callis knows the problem was Kyle didn’t have the arms trapped. Kyle seethes, but he watches Hangman go to the corner. Kyle runs in again, GAMANGIRI! Then a suplex for the- NO, Hangman slips free, O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Hangman goes to the apron! Hangman BOOTS Kyle away, but Kyle GAMANGIRIS again!

Cover, TWO!??!!? Hangman survives and shocks everyone, especially Kyle! Callis is furious and he jumps off commentary to argue the count! Norfolk is electric for “COWBOY SH*T! COWBOY SH*T!” Kyle runs corner to corner again, GAMANGIRI!

Kyle hoists Hangman to the top, climbs up, but Hangman fires body shots! Hangman LARIATS! Kyle holds onto ropes for dear life, but Hangman LARIATS again! Hangman gets Norfolk to fire up, and that energy powers Hangman up for another LARIAT!! Kyle falls back, but he rolls and stands again. Hangman slingshots off the corner!! BUCKSHOT!! And then he goes to the apron, BUCKSHOT!!! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!!

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (advances to Double or Nothing)

Virginia is for lovers, but it’s also for fighters! Norfolk cheers as their Cowboy rides on to the finals, but will this be Hangman’s year? Or will he fail to win “the big one” as he has before?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite, and good moves towards not just Double or Nothing but also Beach Break. Well, to be fair, a lot more matches will surely be announced next week, it’s still just the world title match for now. But after The Opps of course squashed Comoroto, Titus & Hawkins, it makes sense for the Death Riders to ambush them. Shibata suffering that chair spot is surely so the World Trios Championships won’t be defended until closer to Double or Nothing, probably giving Pac time to recover so he can team with Claudio & Yuta again. But a Steel Cage for the world title is great stuff, though that doesn’t necessarily change the odds into Joe’s favor.

Awesome opening 8 Man, and it felt like all these guys were bringing that PWG energy. In the end, The Elite with Ricochet win out because for one, Ricochet needs some wins to stay strong. Two, The Bucks win to get heat and build themselves up, and Okada couldn’t take the pin because we’re still on some long route to Okada VS Omega. We’ve got a month, so I’m sure we’ll see those two interact more and perhaps have Omega issue the challenge first. I don’t know if title unification really needs to happen, but one way or another, we’re going to get another instant classic from these two.

Very good promo from Mercedes Mone to play up just how stuck up her Heel persona is. Great match from Toni VS Miyu, and I do appreciate Toni is being a fighting champion right now. I hope that’s not a sign that she’s gonna lose to Mone at All In… Hayter had a great response to Mone’s promo with her physicality, and Toni enjoying Hayter’s music was great stuff. I still hope Athena comes back around past Double or Nothing to build something for All In, and part of me still hopes it is Athena VS Mone, the ROH Women’s and AEW TBS titles on the line. At this point, Mone is on the level of someone who can stop Athena and vice-versa, that’ll be a great match.

Very good promo from The Patriarchy with Lethal, and great match of Nick VS Lethal. Great win for Lethal to build some momentum going into BOSJ, and I can’t wait to see how Nick does in that round robin. Great stuff with Hurt Syndicate and MJF, and of course MJF can’t help but get mad when Lashley rejects him again. Lashley telling MJF to go hurt somebody, MJF will definitely try that. It might even happen as soon as Collision on Saturday, perhaps costing some random Face a good win. That can also be a good opportunity for whoever that is, as they can have a match with MJF and maybe even a story with the Hurt Syndicate.

And very good stuff going into the main event. Good promo from The Don Callis Family, and awesome main event match of Kyle VS Hangman. Given last week’s go-home math, it makes sense Hangman would win here. Plus, MJF saying Hangman would choke, this gives Hangman that chance to prove MJF wrong. Ospreay VS Hangman is also a fresh match-up for an awesome Owen Hart Cup Finals. It still feels like Ospreay is going on to All In given he helped kick off this year’s Owen Hart Cup build, and Ospreay will finally get in on the Death Riders story like he and Darby Allin talked about months ago.

My Score: 8.8/10
