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?

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?

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!!

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.

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 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 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!

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?

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!

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

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!

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

Davis sputters, but Ricochet grabs Bailey! Bailey BOOTS Ricochet, dodges Davis, and BLINDSIDE HEEL KICKS! Bailey hooks the arms, slowly backslides, but Ricochet adds in with a high stack! Cover, THREE, but who wins?!?!
Callis claims everyone cheated except Davis! The fans are confused, they want it to be Bailey’s win, but Ricochet did join the cover. The ref has everyone calm down and he sorts this out. He tells Callis to shut up and back off while he talks with Justin Roberts. The announcement comes in: As a result of a pinfall, challenging Kenny Omega for the title will be… “Speedball” Mike Bailey AND Ricochet!
Winners: “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Ricochet, by double pinfall (BOTH will challenge for the title)
The only one happy about this is The One & Only! Ricochet sneaks his way into the title match, but will he be able to pull off something like this in Philadelphia? Or will the title still belong to a Canadian in the end?
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Billie Starkz!
The CEO is still #FourBeltsMone after her great battle with Momo Watanabe at Revolution. However, she hasn’t been taking the inaugural ROH Women’s Television Champion very seriously. But that doesn’t bother Billie, because Mone was never her role model. Will Billie once again make history? Or will she simply pay for messing with Mone?
The introductions are made, the teal belt is raised, and we see who is really star material!
The bell rings and Billie offers a handshake. The Code of Honor, if you will. Mone ROCKS Billie instead, then DROPKICKS her! The fans boo but Mone rains down fists!

Billie drags Mone up, Electric Chair Lifts, but Mone grabs the ropes! Billie pries Mone from them, but Mone CLAWS Billie’s eyes! Mone slips out the back to BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Mone rains down fists, lets off to TOSS Billie out, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Mone snarls while fans cheer and jeer. Mone then calms down and smiles, and she does her dance while the ring count climbs. Billie sits up, pushes up off the mat, and springs in at 9! Mone is right on Billie with a scoop and SLAM! Cover, TWO! Billie toughs it out but Mone KNEES her int he side! Mone then pulls Billie into a Half Bow ‘n’ Arrow! Billie endures being bent back, and she reaches out for ropes. Billie then reaches back to drag Mone into a cover! TWO, and Mone CLOBBERS Billie! Mone is frustrated again, and she drags Billie back up, to ELBOW her in the shoulders again and again! Mone then clamps on a chinlock!
Billie endures, reaches out, but Mone squeeze tight. Billie fights around, fights to her feet, and JAWBREAKERS free! Then she rolls Mone up! TWO, and Mone DROPKICKS Billie down! Cover, TWO! Billie is still tougher than that, and Mone is upset. Mone drags Billie around, KNEES her in the back, then pulls on the arms. Billie endures the motorcycle stretch, fights to her feet, and she fires knees! Then she tilt-o-whirl RANAS Mone! Mone runs back in, Billie wrenches and WRINGS the arm out! Dynamite returns to single picture as Billie mule kicks, then scoops for a tuck and- NO, Mone turns things around, CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Billie survives, and Mone is beside herself! Mone paces, drags Billie to her feet, and hooks the arms. Gory Especial, but Billie fights and powers Mone back! Mone sends Billie into buckles! Mone fires forearms, the fans boo and the ref reprimands. Mone stops at 4, then hoists Billie up top. Mone climbs up after Billie, talks trash, and SLAPS Billie! Mone brings Billie to the top rope, and hits a SUPERPLEX! Roll through and another suplex, but Billie fights that! Billie suplexes for a GHOSTBUSTER! The fans fire up while both women are down!

Billie TAPS, Mone wins!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission (still AEW TBS Champion)
Mone laughs as she keeps holding on! The ref reprimands, Mone lets go, and the fans boo as Mone holds up all her belts. But Billie pushed Mone a lot further than Mone will likely admit. But at this rate, will no one stop Mone from becoming the Forever TBS Champion?
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum introduces himself and Turbo Floyd, and they wish their boys, the Omaha Mavericks, good luck on the way to the NCAA titles. Some call those guys underdogs, but guess what? There’s not enough fingers ‘n’ toes on the planet to count out the Mavericks nor The Outrunners! Tell ’em, Turb! Turbo says that just like The Outrunners, the Mavericks will do whatever it takes to get to the top! It is 90% mental, and the other half is in your head! What? Well, either way, the Outrunners have been cheering on the Mavericks this whole season, and no one is gonna stop them nor the Outrunners! If you haven’t seen the Mavericks or the Outrunners, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
MJF speaks.
The Scumbag looks down at MVP’s business card, and says, “It’s funny. A lot of fans are starting to place their bets on which horse is going to become your next AEW World Champion. You got some people placing their chips on Darby Allin; beat him twice with a headlock takeover, and he’s probably dead on some mountain somewhere. Will Ospreay; beat him for the International Championship. Swerve Strickland; look at me. I beat him in life. And then there’s the, uh… The Cowboy… As much as it pains you hypocrites to admit it, there’s only one horse to place your chips on. One thoroughbred, one stallion, one mustang, the most complete professional wrestler on God’s Green Earth, and you’re lookin’ at him.
“Speaking of looking, I’ve been doing a whole lot of looking at this card. And it’s got me thinking about my Triple B being around the waist of Dictator Jon. Dictator Jon is surrounded by a pack of wild animals, and it’s very clear to me, that if I want a shot at The Devil getting his due, part two… Perhaps I need a little clique of my own. However, the last time I trusted someone, or I had a ‘partner,’ I got burned pretty bad. So as far as your offer goes, MVP, I will have an answer for you and for the world next week.
“But what I would like to do is leave all of you morons with this: The time for Daddy to be crying over spilt milk is over. The time for me to smile over popped champagne, well, that’s just begun.” MJF gives his pinkie ring a kiss, is he about to join the Hurt Syndicate?
AEW World Championship Street Fight: Jon Moxley VS Adam Copeland!
With Revolution’s main event being more or less interrupted by quite a few others, namely Christian Cage and his Casino Gauntlet Contract cash-in, The Maniac stayed the champion, but nothing between him and the Rated R Superstar had been settled. Now they’re just throwing the rulebook out into the cold Nebraska night as they turn up the heat! Will Moxley still find a way to survive? Or will he have to cope with a devastating loss?
Moxley is only now entering the arena from the parking lot, BUT COPE IS THERE TO ATTACK! The fans fire up seeing this on the tron, and the bell rings now to get this all on record! Cope SMACKS Moxley off the semi-truck’s trailer, then SMACKS him off it again! Then Cope shoves Moxley into the back of the trailer, and they brawl around all these power tools, props and cases! Cope SMACKS Moxley off the side again, then finds one of Jeff Jarrett’s guitars! Cope SMACKS Moxley in the leg, then fires more forearms! Moxley staggers towards the exit, but Cope runs up to swing and DROPKICK Moxley into the garage door!
Moxley slumps down, Cope throws off his vest, and Cope drags Moxley back up. Cope and Moxley scrap, and now Moxley sends Cope into the garage door! Moxley grabs the briefcase and runs inside. Cope pursues, CLUBS Moxley along the hallway, and the ref has found them. Moxley uses the briefcase as a weapon to JAM and CLOBBER Cope! Moxley says Cope wanted a Street Fight in Omaha, so let’s go to Omaha! Cope hits back, he headlocks Moxley and brings him along. The brawling continues, Moxley gets his jacket off, but Cope claws at his head! Cope SMACKS Moxley off road cases, then brings him around a corner. They end up going through the curtain and to the crowd!
The fans fire up as the brawl brings these two around behind the timekeeper’s area, and Cope SMACKS Moxley off the table! Cope ROCKS Moxley, SMACKS him with a microphone, and the fans fire up more. Cope goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a trash can! Cope runs up to SMASH Moxley with the can! Moxley ends up by commentary, Cope storms over to bring him around. The fans rally for Cope as he snap suplexes Moxley to the floor! Moxley writhes and staggers away. Cope runs up to BOOT Moxley down! Moxley takes a seat, and Cope rains down forearms! Cope rains down fists, not having to hold back!
The fans fire up as Cope lets off to catch his breath, but Moxley gets him for a SLEEPER! Cope claws at the hold, but he is fading! Moxley then shifts to a neck wrench! Moxley is still targeting the neck, and he RAMS Cope into the LED barrier! Moxley then brings out a kendo stick! Moxley takes aim, taunts the fans, and then runs up to SMACK Cope on the back! And SMACKS him again! Moxley digs the point of the kendo stick into Cope’s neck! The fans boo, the ref checks with Cope, but Cope refuses to give up! Moxley stops, only to drag Cope back up. Moxley whips but Cope reverses, and Moxley hits railing!
Cope DUMPS Moxley over into the crowd, and then pursues again. The fans fire up as Cope storms up and CLOBBERS Moxley into the boards! The fans fire up as Cope CHUCKS a trash can at Moxley’s head! Moxley staggers away, Cope has a beer can and he SMACKS Moxley with it! Moxley is dazed as he leans on the barriers, and Cope fires forearms and CHOPS! The fans fire up being even closer to the action, but Moxley ROCKS Cope in return! Cope ROCKS Mox, Mox ROCKS Cope! Cope ROCKS Moxley again, but Moxley hits back again! They brawl their way along, forearm for forearm! The fans boo Moxley while he vows Cope is done!
Moxley comes back but Cope BOOTS him! Cope fires hands, Moxley tumbles over the barriers, and Cope pursues. Cope grabs the panel that covers the top of the LED board to SMACK Moxley on the back! Then SMACKS him again! But then Cope clears off the desk! The fans fire up, Cope stalks Moxley again, and Cope brings Moxley around to TOSS onto the desk! The fans are thunderous as Cope climbs up to join Mox! But Moxley CLAWS Cope’s eyes! And he BITES Cope’s face! Then underhooks and PARADIGM SHIFT on the desk!! Cope flops to the floor while Moxley dusts himself off. The ref checks Cope while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Moxley stands up tall to soak up the heat. Moxley taunts the fans, then dumps water on Cope. Moxley paces around while Cope sputters and stirs. Moxley fetches the kendo stick, goes back to Cope, and Moxley waits on Cope to stand. Then he SMACKS Cope back down! Moxley CHOKES Cope with the kendo stick, drags him up and around, and he talks trash at the same time. Cope refuses to give up so Moxley shoves Cope down. Moxley flips off the fans, then waits on Cope. Cope stands, Mox runs in, but Cope sends him into the steel steps! Moxley falls in a heap, and Cope drags a TABLE out from under the ring!
Surely, Omaha is fired up again as Cope stands this table up at ringside. Moxley crawls away, has a chair, but Cope CLUBS him first! Cope whips, but Moxley reverses, and now Cope hits steel steps! Cope falls in a heap, Moxley grabs that chair and puts it in the ring. Moxley fetches Cope, puts him in the ring, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Moxley has the chair, takes aim, and he SMACKS Cope on the back! The fans boo while Cope writhes, and Moxley SMACKS him again! Moxley CHOKES Cope with the chair, having it sit on his neck! Moxley flips off the fans while they boo more, but Cope still refuses to give up.
Moxley lets off Cope and he tells the ref to back off. Moxley puts the chair around Cope’s neck! The fans boo as Moxley wants to do Cope like he did Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor! But then Moxley goes up the corner?! The fans boo, but Cope stands! Cope CHUCKS the chair at Moxley! Moxley teeters up top, Cope climbs up after him, and Cope CLAWS Moxley’s back! Cope brings Moxley up, to SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men writhe, and Prince Nana is watching backstage. Swerve is still down and out after what Moxley did to him on Saturday, so Nana is keeping an eye on this match on Swerve’s behalf.
Moxley writhes but rises up, and so does Cope. The fans rally, Cope and Moxley trade forearms, and then Moxley eggs Cope on. They stand to fire more forearms, and Cope gives as good as he gets! Moxley kicks low, fires knees again and again, then runs, only for Cope to dodge and LARIAT! And LARIAT! And LARIAT again! The fans fire up as Cope then FLAPJACKS Moxley down! Moxley checks his face while the fans rally up. Cope goes out of the ring, and he looks under the ring. IT’S SPIKE! Cope brings his little friend into the ring, but Moxley hits a CUTTER! The fans boo but Moxley CHOKES Cope!
Moxley goes out, and he brings out a second TABLE! The fans are torn, they love tables but don’t like Moxley. Moxley puts this table in the ring, sets it up in a corner, but Cope gets Spike back! Cope SMACKS Moxley in the gut!! The fans go nuts, but then Cope SMACKS Moxley on the back! Cope puts Spike down, and suplexes Moxley onto Spike!! Moxley writhes as Spike sticks inside Moxley’s back!! So many nails are digging into flesh!! The fans are losing their minds and Moxley isn’t sure what to do about it! Moxley stands, Spike still digs into him, but WHEELER YUTA IS HERE! BUSAIKU KNEE on Cope!!
The fans boo but of course The Decoder defends Moxley! Now even Yuta is shocked to see Spike stuck in Moxley’s back! Yuta helps Moxley, but as he pulls on Spike, Moxley’s skin is stretched and torn up more! The ref gets Spike off of Moxley’s back while Yuta goes out after Cope. But Cope pops Yuta up to POWERBOMB him through the table!! That’s what Yuta gets! But CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI IS BACK! And PAC! The Death Riders return to mug Cope and help Moxley! They put Cope in, we see Moxley’s bloody back, and Cope goes to a corner. Pac runs in for an ELBOW! Claudio runs in for an UPPERCUT!
Pac runs back in for an ELBOW! Claudio UPPERCUTS! They keep the cycle of violence going, then Claudio feeds Cope to a LARIAT! Pac takes the chair, puts it under Cope’s head, and Claudio grabs another chair. Claudio brings that chair over rather menacingly, but wait! FTR is here! Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood rejoin the fight against the Death Riders! Cash brawls with Claudio and TOSSES him while Dax has Pac! Then Cash DIVES to wipe Claudio out into the desk! Pac throat chops Dax, but Dax ducks a roundhouse to DDT Pac! Moxley is up to spin Dax around, but Dax kicks low! PILEDRIVER!!
The fans fire up as Dax then LARIATS Pac and himself up and out of the ring! Things are even now, and Cope seethes as he rises up. Moxley rises, Cope takes aim! SPEAR through the table!!! The fans are thunderous as both men wipe out through the wood! The fans love “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for giving them this insane match! Cope drags Moxley to a cover, BUT MARINA BREAKS IT! Marina Shafir is again a Problem, and she rains down forearms on Cope! But WILLOW NIGHTINGALE IS HERE! The Babe with the Power gets in there to fire hands on Marina! SHORT ARM LARIAT! Marina tumbles out, Willow goes to the apron, CANNONBALL!
The fans fire up as Moxley ends up in a corner. KIP SABIAN is here!? But Cope SPEARS him first! Only for Nick Wayne to go up, up, and WAYNE’S WORLD!! The Patriarchy is working to screw Cope over like Christian Cage did at Revolution! Moxley crawls over to get Cope in a cover, TWO?!?! Cope survives! But BULLY CHOKE!!! Moxley squeezes tight, Cope is OUT! Moxley wins again!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
Captain Charisma screws over his old friend once again! But it took all of the pawns to save “The One True King of AEW,” and Nana calls Swerve. Nana surely has good news for Swerve. Will Dynasty once again be Swerve’s House? As for Rated FTR, Dax is certainly frustrated enough for both him and Cash, but the fans still cheer on their efforts. Cope reaches a hand out to his friend, but Dax doesn’t take it? Even Cash is surprised by that! Cash tries to talk with Dax but Dax pushes him away? Well, you can’t spell frustrated without FTR, but at least Cash hugs it out with Cope. Omaha gives Cope a standing ovation, but will Cope ever have a world title again?
Backstage interview with Bandido.
Renee Paquette is with The Most Wanted, and brings up the horrible things Chris Jericho did at Revolution. How have he and his family been since then? Bandido says wrestling, lucha libre, it runs in his veins. And he knows the dangers, he can handle them. But what Chris Jericho did to his brother, Gravity, and how that was the first AEW show their mother and sister ever attended, it was humiliating! Jericho made Bandido’s mother cry in front of him, and Bandido will never forgive Jericho for that! So on Slam Dunk Sunday Night Collision, Bandido hopes Jericho shows up and acts like a man! Bring Gravity’s mask and give it back!
But Johnny TV steps in and somewhat sarcastically says wow, Bandido’s whole family was embarrassed and his mom cried on camera. WHO CARES?! Bandido thinks he deserves to sit in the ring like a sad puppy on Slam Dunk Sunday, perhaps the biggest Collision in history? That’s not ratings gold! Ratings gold would be Bandido VS Johnny TV, and Johnny slam dunks Bandido’s head! Bigger ratings than the Super Bowl! What do you say, “amigo?” Bandido says okay, amigo. Challenge accepted! Johnny says great! Johnny heads out, but will Bandido the one dunking on Johnny?
Will Ospreay VS AR Fox!
The Aerial Assassin called his shot at the AEW World Championship for All In: Texas! He also claimed that he’d get in the Owen Hart Memorial Tournament, win the Cup, and challenge for the world title as this year’s King of Harts. Will that long road to Globe Life Field begin now? Or will tonight be the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ospreay offers a handshake, Fox takes it, and the fans cheer. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to a wristlock. The fans sing “OSPREAY~, OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY~!” Fox rolls, wrenches, wristlocks back, but Ospreay spins and trips Fox up. Cover, ONE! Fox ducks a buzzsaw, waistlocks, but Ospreay elbows free. Ospreay whips, Fox ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Ospreay slips around to waistlock. Fox bucks the O’Conner, rolls back, CUTTER but Ospreay handstands through! Ospreay wags his finger, gets running, and springboards to OSCUTTER, but Fox handstands through!
The fans fire up, Ospreay trips Fox but Fox UP KICKS Ospreay! Both men kip up, and the fans cheer the standoff! Ospreay smiles and nods, and the two reset. Ospreay checks his back for a second, still feeling that Steel Cage match from Revolution. The fans cheer as Ospreay and Fox circle again. They knuckle lock, then Fox kicks low! Fox CLUBS Ospreay’s back again and again, then kicks low, But Ospreay turns things around to CHOP! Ospreay whips, Fox grabs ropes, then Fox DUMPS Ospreay out! Ospreay lands on the apron, but Fox sweeps the leg! Ospreay is down, Fox runs and slingshots to DOUBLE STOMP on the apron!
The fans are torn while Ospreay sputters into the ring. Fox slingshots and gator rolls Ospreay into a suplex, but STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE strikes back! Fox tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Ospreay uses that energy to PLANCHA! Down goes Fox and the fans fire up again! Ospreay stretches out that back while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ospreay grits his teeth as he goes back for Fox. Fox RAMS Ospreay into the apron! Ospreay sputters, Fox grabs a chair, and Fox makes Ospreay take a seat. Fox rains down fists, refreshes the ring count, then takes a lap around the ring! Fox builds speed and comes back around, but Ospreay BOOTS Fox down! Now Ospreay refreshes the ring count, drags Fox over and makes him take a seat. Ospreay rallies the fans and takes that same lap around the ring. But Fox slides into the ring and FLIES onto Ospreay at the ramp! Fox puts Ospreay in the ring, goes up a corner, and SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, TWO!
Fox is frustrated that Ospreay survives, but Fox clamps on a REAR BEARHUG. Ospreay endures the squeeze, fights up, and he throws elbows. Ospreay is free but Fox CLUBS him on the back! Fox whips, but Ospreay CLOBBERS him! Ospreay hauls Fox up to back suplex, but Fox makes it a CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Fox is again frustrated, but he clamps back on with the REAR BEARHUG! Ospreay endures the squeeze all over again, and the fans rally up. Ospreay fights up, reaches out, but Fox brings him away from the ropes. Ospreay fires more elbows, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Fox kicks low.
Fox runs, but Ospreay TIGER WALL KICKS, ENZIGIRIS, and then runs, to fake Fox out! Ospreay KICKS the backdrop away, but Fox ENZIGIRIS in return! Ospreay staggers, but he BUZZSAWS Fox! Ospreay runs, but Fox goes Matrix and kips up to ENZIGIRI again! Fox runs, into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! The fans fire up again and Ospreay rises. Ospreay gets the fans even more fired up, and he aims from a corner. Fox stands, into a HOOK KICK! Fox falls forward, Ospreay prepares the elbow! HIDDEN- NO, Fox ducks under and BASEMENT CUTTERS! Ospreay staggers, Fox runs up to BOOT him in the corner!
Fox hoists Ospreay up top, then climbs up again. But Ospreay slips under, tucks Fox in, CHEEKY NA- NO! Fox pops up and over! Ospreay BOOTS Fox, goes up, but Fox GAMANGIRIS! Fox runs up, springs up, LO MEIN PAIN! Cover, TWO!!! Ospreay survives at the last nanosecond, but Fox goes right up top! “This is Awesome!” as Fox aims, 450 FLOP!! Ospreay dodges, and now he strikes with the HIDDEN BLADE!! Cover, Ospreay wins!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall
Fox was outfoxed by this bird of prey, but Ospreay shows Fox much respect. The fans cheer that, but Ospreay’s hip is still bothering him. Ospreay himself wonders, can he even go All In at less than 100%? Or will he win no matter the odds?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee remarks that it is officially going to be Moxley VS Swerve at AEW Dynasty, then welcomes in The Cowboy. Hangman steps in, and Renee says that while she has a feeling she already knows the answer, she will still ask the question. “What are your thoughts on this match being official?” Hangman says he has said this a thousand times. He vows to never let Swerve Strickland hold the AEW World Championship again. Hangman is nothing if not a man of his word. But after beating MJF at Revolution, Hangman will not let his vision be solely focused on someone else. His focus will be on himself.
And while many people have been jumping the gun to enter The Owen, Hangman will join the party. Hangman will win the Owen Hart Foundation Cup to then go on, challenge for and become the NEW AEW World Champion. Even if it’s Swerve. The Cowboy joins The Aerial Assassin, what other dangerous names will put their names in the hat?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee is with The CEO and congratulates her on yet another successful title defense. Mone asks how many is that now. Renee believes it is 16-0, but that kid gave Mone a hell of a fight out there. How surprised was she by Billie out there? Mone admits, “that kid” did put up a fight. That kid, Billie, has a lot of heart. But it takes more than heart to beat Mone. Who trained her? Who mentored her? Whoever did knows nothing about pro-wrestling. If Mone had trained Billie, Billie might’ve had a chance at beating Mone for the title. HAHAHA! But no, who’s she kidding? Billie still would not have won, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
And what that “stupid kid” learned tonight is that there is no stopping the Money Train. Okay, on to 17-0. Bye, Renee! Mone heads out, but is the CEO’s ego about to get the attention of a Fallen Goddess?
“Timeless” Toni Storm is here!
Omaha cheers for the AEW Women’s World Champion as she makes her way out here to join commentary for tonight’s main event. After all, it has some major implications for who “costars” with Toni in her next title picture.
Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Kris Statlander!
The Megasus has not respected anyone in AEW, only dominated! And she perhaps tolerates the Superbad Girl as they have common enemies. But from attacking Toni last week to attacking Thunder Rosa before their match, it seems no one is able to even slow Megan down. Can the Galaxy’s Greatest get even from their previous showdown? Or will Megan be the bane of the AEW Women’s Division?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Kris and Megan step up, stare down, and then Megan winds up! Kris blocks the shot to fire a flurry of forearms! The fans fire up, Kris runs, but Megan follows! Megan ROCKS Kris, runs, but Kris follows to UPPERCUT! Kris runs, Megan follows to SPLASH Kris at the ropes! Megan runs but Kris ROCKS her! Kris runs but Megan clinches! Kris fires shots but Megan shoves her away. Megan blocks a boot, ROCKS Kris, then runs up to LARIAT Kris up and out! Ford applauds, the fans are torn, but Megan storms out. Kris goes up to the apron! Kris PENALTY KICKS, then MOONSAULTS!
The fans fire up, Toni is rather stunned, and Toni gives Kris credit for that. Kris puts Megan in the ring, climbs up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Megan flounders away to a corner while the fans fire up. Ford coaches Megan, Toni says if Bayne is a “Megasus,” call her to the “Stormodo Dragon.” Same toxic tongue and dry skin. Kris runs in and LARIATS! Then Kris climbs up to rain down fists! The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Kris then pushes Megan out, leaps, but Megan catches her! Megan pops Kris up, but Kris slips free! Kris kicks low, runs, and basement DROPKICKS! Cover, ONE?!?

So I’m gonna make this very easy for you. You and I shall have a date at Dynasty! And I will make your thighs shake and your body quake, and I will leave with this strap on, for I am TIMELESS TONI STORM! And I will tear your tits off!!” The Megasus has the title match she wants, but will she get much more than she bargained for?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite that almost lost some matches given the blizzard that hit today. But it looks like we got everything they were hoping to get done tonight, especially in building up Dynasty. The Fatal 4 Way was an awesome opener, and what an incredibly clever way to give two guys that win to raise the stakes on Kenny Omega. I also feel like we should get Bailey VS Ricochet 1v1 just to see “who’s better” going into the Triple Threat, and maybe indicate some go-home math towards that match. I would think part of the Triple Threat nature is so that regardless of the result, all three men look strong, but I’m leaning towards Omega winning.
Mone VS Billie was a great match, a great showing for Billie’s return to cable TV, but this makes her 0-2 all time for the TBS Championship (she lost to Jade Cargill on a Battle of the Belts special). However, Mone’s promo talking trash on Billie’s mentor planted major seeds for Mone VS Athena in time for All In: Texas, as I’ve been hoping for. Good promo from The Outrunners, but it seems like they didn’t make it to Omaha, or else they’d be teaming with Hobbs for Collision, not Briscoe & Rocky. Though it’s not like there isn’t ground for Briscoe teaming with Hobbs when they were the ones that confronted the Murder Machines last week.
Good promo from Bandido to respond to Jericho and call him out, and Johnny TV wanting a match with him is interesting. I suppose Johnny can take a loss for Bandido to get some momentum back before having it out with Jericho one more time. Good promo from MJF to set up meeting with MVP next week. I can’t be sure which way he’s going to swerve us. Mentioning he needs back up to take on The Death Riders would make me think he accepts MVP’s offer, but referencing Adam Cole turning on him makes me think he won’t. It’d make the most sense if he accepted the help, because it’s means to an end.
Great match from Ospreay VS Fox, and a great win for Ospreay to keep his momentum up from Revolution. I do appreciate him selling the damage from Revolution to add some doubt into his story. Ospreay will surely make it to the finals of the Owen Hart Cup, but his odds of winning shifted the moment Hangman Page said he’d be in. Hangman was denied the Cup last year, he might make good on a second attempt, especially if Swerve wins at Dynasty. Moxley VS Cope being a Street Fight went about how I expected: The entrances turned into a brawl, that brawl went all over the place, and then there was major overbooking. As such, Moxley wins, honestly making him look weak for it, but I suppose most Heel champs do end up like that.
FTR being part of the save that didn’t help Cope win, that’s a clever way of adding to the frustrations of FTR that is also sending them down a Heel path. Granted, this moment in itself, with Dax being the most upset and not even wanting Cash to talk to him feels out of place. There should’ve been something like this even before the “frustrations” from facing Undisputed Kingdom showed up. Chalk it up to more of TK’s backwards booking like he’s done with Jericho feuds. But I don’t see FTR breaking up, Cash will just start to see things Dax’s way and FTR goes Heel again as they keep after the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
Very good matches made for Collision and the awkward two-parter it has to pull because of NCAA basketball. Hart VS Aminata is going to be really good, but Aminata’s feud with Deeb is still on standby, so I think Hart wins out. And great main event from Megan and Kris tonight, with Toni doing another excellent job on commentary. Great win for Megan, and great brawl from her and Toni before Toni makes it official. Toni is a master at innuendos in her promos. That title match is going to be awesome, but I would think Toni finds a way to retain. Megan is great, but it might be a bit too soon for her to be world champion.
My Score: 8.9/10

Ricochet speaks.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you know who it is, so please, show some love for Ricochet, your soon to be NEW International Champion. Because if Shibata is a smart man, he’ll take my advice and he’ll just forfeit. He’ll give up and allow me to move on to Dynamite next week. And if not, I guess I will have to continue to show everybody why I am Outta This World. AHA~!”
Katsuyori Shibata “speaks.”
His text reader says, “Shut up, baldie.” Will The Wrestler show that actions speak louder than words?
Mark Davis speaks.
“Chicken man, I never would’ve believed it, but you might just be even more insane than you look. Stepping in the ring tonight with Dunkzilla, I’m a chop you up, I’m a pluck those feathers, and I’m gonna eat you for dinner.”
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“I got my eyes set on that International title at Dynasty. Kenny Omega, I’m coming for you! But tonight, Mark Davis, you in my way! So I’m gonna run right through you, big man! RAH RAH RAH!” Which Mark hits the mark and heads for Dynamite’s Fatal 4 Way?
The Undisputed Kingdom speaks.
Roderick Strong tells, “KYYYLE~! Tonight, we prove to FTR that we are the best tag team on planet Earth.” Kyle O’Reilly says, “That’s right, Roddy.” They beat FTR once, and it was no fluke. Tonight, they do it again. Adam Cole says, “And that is undisputed.”
FTR speaks.
Cash Wheeler says, “So a few weeks ago, we made a mistake that cost us the match against Roddy & Kyle. But tonight, here in Vegas, put all your money, bet the house, on FTR.” Dax Harwood says, “I imagine if you guys beat FTR, that’ll put you right in line for an AEW World Tag Team title shot. I’m not gonna apologize for spoiling your party, but it ain’t happening at our expense. Top Guys Out.” But will Dax & Cash make good on this rematch? Or will this be a bet they lose big time?

After a hearty evening of filling up slots, hitting on anything over 21, and making Wayne Newton scream Danke Schoen, I am ready for some Collision. And there is no one I would like to collide with more than Megan Bayne. What sort of perverted fanfiction did they write you up in, hey? You want to blindside me in my spotlight? Then I would love to see what you will do in front of my face.
“Darling, you want to swim around like some sort of hammerhead terrorizing the guppies of AEW waters? Then I have no problem making shark fin soup, and then being put away again for animal cruelty. And that goes for all the women in this company and beyond. You want to fight for gold? Then step up to the table and place your bets, shake your fists and blow!

Rosa asks, “Do you know what this business is built on? It is built on respect.

Las Vegas becomes “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” as The Realest #1 Contender to the AEW World Championship goes to the ring. Swerve grabs a mic to ask, “Las Vegas, what’s good with you? Last Sunday, I did exactly what I said I was going to do, and that was beat Ricochet to become the #1 Contender for the AEW World Championship.” The fans cheer that! Swerve doesn’t take anything away from Ricochet, he is tough as hell. Probably one of the best to ever step foot in the ring. Hell, Ricochet even ruptured Swerve’s eardrum. But Swerve warned Ricochet about stepping to the Most Dangerous Man in AEW gets you put down.
And if you wanna challenge him again, Ricochet, Swerve will gladly accept it so he can slap your bald head back to the ground again. The fans cheer that! Swerve hears the fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and smiles. Swerve is sorry that Nana wasn’t here, but Nana is safeguarding the Embassy Robe so that Swerve can focus on the big things, the important things, like the AEW World Championship. The top prize for the best roster in the world. To compete for that championship, you have to be great. But to win that championship, you have to be elite. And last year, Swerve was All Elite! Last year at Dynasty, Swerve became AEW World Champion!
The fans cheer, and Swerve says 126 days, he was All Elite. And it seems that history repeats itself, because he will not be across from the champion in just three weeks. Swerve will have a chance to lead the Dynasty once again. That said, next week in Omaha, Nebraska, we have Jon Moxley VS Adam Copeland once again, but in a Street Fight. The fans boo a bit but Swerve smiles. Swerve says that you probably know he and Cope go way back. Swerve looked up to that man since he was a kid, so all Swerve’s life. A few years ago, Cope took Swerve under the ring and taught him what it was to seize the opportunity.
To put it this way, you don’t become dangerous without learning from the Rated R. But make no mistake about it, Cope, Swerve will reiterate something Cope once said: Whether you are challenger, or whether you are champion, you’re in my way. Right now, Cope is a legend and an icon, but he is in the way of the future of AEW, and Swerve will mow him down. Now, there’s also Jon Moxley. The fans boo again, and Swerve says Moxley is a FOUR-TIME AEW World Champion. You don’t become that without being an elite level performer. Swerve used to think he and Moxley were cut from the same cloth.
Until Moxley mentioned that there is no one that can hold down the world title like Moxley. Swerve doesn’t believe Moxley believes his own words! So much so, we have to listen to the dribble night in and night out, Moxley standing in the back, in boiler rooms, talking in riddles. All Swerve sees when he looks at Moxley is true desperation! And desperation is all Moxley will have, because to catch a maniac, you have to send a maniac! In three weeks, Dynasty in Philadelphia, whether it is Moxley or Cope, the result doesn’t matter, the Dynasty Era continues! And it will be Swerve that takes back the world title to turn AEW back to whose house?
MOXLEY SLITHERS IN FROM THE CROWD! And he CLOBBERS Swerve with a crowbar!! The fans boo and shout, but Moxley takes aim again. CURB STOMP!! Swerve writhes, Moxley storms his way back out of the arena, and then Moxley goes to the parking lot. “Consider that a free lesson: Respect won’t get you anywhere, Swerve! Swerve, Jay White, all these guys trying to back me into a corner! Copeland, you’re all amateurs! The Rated R Superstar, I hate your guts! I hate what you turned me into! I hate what you’ve done to me! On Wednesday night, IT’S OVER!! The Rated R Superman Superstar is a dead man.
“Wednesday night on Dynamite, Copeland, it’s ON!!” Moxley has sent his message to everyone else in AEW, will anyone end this reign of terror?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is again with La Mera Mera for a health update. Can Rosa still compete tonight? Rosa says don’t ask the doctor, you ask Rosa. And Rosa won’t let Megan punk her out tonight! It is time to effin’ go!! Rosa storms out of the trainer’s room, will she regret going after The Megasus at anything less than 100%?
Six Man Tag: Holo.grm & Top Flight VS Shane Taylor Promotions!
The futuristic luchador has been picking up speed ever since he returned from injury, and now he might achieve takeoff alongside Dante & Darius Martin! Will three high-fliers make leaps and bounds towards title opportunities? Or will Lee Moriarty, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo show them how to rumble, bad man, rumble?
The trios sort out, Hologram starts against #TAIGASTYLE, but wait, The Cru is here? Lio Rush & Action Andretti have been watching other tag teams in AEW, but it makes sense they’d watch their former friends, Top Flight. The bell rings and Hologram circles with Lee. They feel things out, tie up, and Lee wrenches to wristlock and wrangle Hologram. Hologram kips up, Lee grabs both arms for a motorcycle stretch. Hologram flips, spins things around, and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, ONE! Hologram wrenches and spins Lee, but Lee full nelsons. Hologram uses a leg for leverage in breaking that, then he victory rolls Lee!
Hologram steps forward, leans back into a JAPANESE LEG ROLL, ONE and Lee turns that around for his own! Hologram stops that to roll Lee up, TWO! Lee CLOBBERS Hologram, then soaks up the heat. The fans rally for Hologram, and he reaches up to twist and RANA! And “Harley-gram” is backstage watching! The fans rally as Hologram dodges Lee, then handsprings to stare him down! Hologram and Lee back off, tag to Dante and Dean. Things speed up, Dante dodges and A-LIST LARIATS Dean int he corner! Tag to Darius for the snap suplex, and a kip up to tag Dante back in, slingshot SENTON!
Carlie & Lee coach Dean but Dante brings Dean up. Dean pushes free, takes a swing, but Dante gets around to arm-drag! Dante has the armlock, Dean fights up, and Dean whips Dante away. Dante rolls under, comes back, and he jumps, but Dean denies the rana! Dante DROPKICKS Dean and then talks trash on Action. Action dares Dante to bring it, but Dean waistlocks. Dante switches, headlocks, but Carlie tags in as Dean powers out. Dante runs up on Dean but Dean BOOTS him! Carlie is there to BOOT Dante down! The fans boo but Lee applauds, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Carlie RAMS Dante into the STP corner, then STP all mugs Dante! The ref counts, Dean & Lee let off, and Carlie swaggers around. Carlie storms back over, tags in Dean, and Dean sends Carlie in for a forearm SMASH! Then “Psyche!” Carlie is sent back in for another forearm SMASH! Dean runs up to ELBOW Dante, then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante toughs it out but Dean stomps him to ropes. Dean tags Lee, Lee scrapes his soles off Dante’s face. Lee clamps onto the arm, grinds Dante down, but Dante endures. Dante fights up, fires body shots, but Lee bends fingers! Lee wrangles Dante, SNAPS the fingers, then puts Dante in the corner.
Tag to Carlie and Carlie CHOPS Dante! Carlie taunts the fans, CHOPS Dante again, then also tells The Cru to watch it. Carlie steps on Dante’s neck, “apologizes,” then dares Dante to go for his corner. Carlie puts Dante back in the STP corner, tags in Dean, and the mugging continues. Dean brings Dante up to scoop and SLAM! Dean stays between Dante and his team, then runs to drop a JUMP ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Dean is frustrated, but he keeps Dante down with an armlock. Dante endures, Lio is vlogging this, but Dante fights up. Dean facelocks Dante to then knee him low. Dean ROCKS Dante, The Cru talks trash, and Collision returns to single picture.
Carlie tags in, The Infantry whips Dante back into the STP corner, then Dean sends Carlie in. Dean TOSSES Carlie out! And he BLATS Lee, BOOTS Dean, then runs up. Dean catches Dante to keep him from his corner! Atomic drop! Dean BLASTS Darius & Hologram, then Carlie hits a SOMERSAULT FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Carlie clamps onto Dante while Harley-gram is still watching. Harley-gram is confronted by Beast Mortos?! These two stare down while the fans rally for Dante. Dante fights up, the fans rally, and Dante JAWBREAKERS free! Dante crawls, Carlie anchors legs, and we check in with Spanish commentary if Dralistico can give us explanations as to Mortos’ actions.
Dralistico seems just as confused as we are about this, but it seems Mortos is enamored with Harley-gram. Meanwhile, Dante kicks free of Carlie, Dean tags in, and he stops Dante short! Back suplex, but Dante lands out! Carlie waistlocks, Dante elbows free, and he dodges Dean! Hot tag to Darius! Darius rallies on STP, then fires shots on Dean! Darius whips, Dean reverses, but Darius atomic drops and BULLDOG HOTSHOTS! Darius SUPERKICKS Lee, ROUNDHOUSES Carlie, and GAMANGIRIS Dean! Dean staggers, into the springboard FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Dean stays in this, Shane coaches him up.

Dante runs up, Dean picks him up, but Dante RANAS Dean out of the ring! Lee runs up, Hologram dodges to roll and arm-drag! Hologram builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit into Lee into railing! The fans fire up but The Cru is furious!
Darius avoids Carlie’s scissor kick! Darius waistlocks Carlie to O’Conner Roll, TWO! Dante tags in, Darius gets around Carlie! Carlie fights free, but gets a SHOTGUN GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Dante stares The Cru down as he covers, Top Flight & Hologram win!
Winners: Hologram & Top Flight, by pinfall
Dante stares daggers at The Cru but they don’t sweat him. Will The Man of the Hour and the Sight to See ground Top Flight once and for all? As for Hologram, he sees Dralistico on commentary and is having his own stare down. Will LFI reel in Mortos before he has a change of heart?
Alex Abrahantes speaks.
“LFI, months ago, you took out Hologram, you took out Komander, and that’s something neither one of them has forgotten. So if you want to prove you’re as tough as you say you are, allow us to make a challenge to you. But be aware: what you’ve done, LFI, is bring two of the most exciting and unique luchadores together. They aren’t some random competitors, they are lucha stars. And they challenge you, LFI, because united we stand, and together, you will fall!” The Hype Man has issued the ultimatum to LFI, will Rush, Dralistico y Mortos learn to respect Hologram y Komander?
Megan Bayne VS Thunder Rosa!
Speaking of respect, or lack there of… The Megasus shocked Storm by attacking on Wednesday, and then she rolled Thunder by attacking here tonight. But La Mera Mera has never backed down from a fight, and she won’t start now! But can Rosa even keep up with damaged ribs? Or will her undying heart see her through?

Megan paces, then she whips Rosa into the apron! Megan whips Rosa into more barriers! Rosa flops over but Megan is looming. Rosa shoves Megan, fires body shots, but Megan KNEES her low! Megan scoops and SLAMS Rosa on the floor! Rosa writhes, Megan stalks her, and then Megan SMACKS Rosa off the apron! Megan brings Rosa around the way, fireman’s carries her, and then goes up the steel steps! Megan DUMPS Rosa into the ring!
Megan goes to a corner, watches Rosa rise, and then she runs in for a LEAPING LARIAT! Rosa is in serious trouble while Collision goes to break.

The count is 5 of 10 as Rosa crawls to the ramp. Rosa reaches ringside at 8, and she rolls in at 9.5! But Megan hoists her back up! “BOW! DOWN!” FATE’S DESCENT again!! Cover, Megan wins!

Kris Statlander rushes out here, along with refs, and Megan stands down.
Kris helps Rosa, Luther appears to help Miss Storm. Megan has demolished some of the best in AEW today, is it only a matter of time until she is THE best in AEW?

FTR w/ Daniel Garcia VS Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong w/ Adam Cole!
Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler won’t apologize for giving their opponents a fair shake last time, but they also feel that kindness came back to bite them. Will FTR be only concerned with a win this week? Or will Collision once again be Undisputed?
The teams sort out while Cole and Garcia join commentary. The bell rings as Kyle and Dax start off. Vegas duels between “UN-DIS-PU-TED!” “F T R!” Almost sounds like a super team name. Kyle and Dax circle, they tie up, then break. Then they tie up, break, and go again. Dax waistlocks, Kyle switches, but Dax arm-drags for an armlock. Kyle headscissors, Dax kips free and then hits a headlock takeover. Kyle headscissors again, Dax kips free, but Kyle trips Dax to an ANKLE LOCK! Dax scrambles to the ROPEBREAK, and even goes to the apron. The ref counts, Kyle lets go, and the fans cheer for “TAG TEAM WRESTLING!”
Dax storms back into the ring, but he tags Cash. Cash and Kyle circle, feel things out, and tie up. Cash wrenches, wristlocks, but Kyle wrenches and wristlocks back.

Cash whips Roddy, Roddy reveres, but Cash turns that around to send Roddy back to the corner. Roddy BLASTS Dax off the corner this time!
Cash HOTSHOTS Roddy, Dax returns, and Cash anchors Roddy’s legs. Tag to Dax, he drops a leg, an elbow, and a HEADBUTT! The fans fire up as Dax paces around, and then Dax drags Roddy up.

Winner: FTR, by pinfall
Cole is fuming but he hurries to ringside to check on his guys. Garcia thanks Schiavone & Nigel for welcoming him, and he excuses himself to go celebrate with his Top Guys. No flukes here, but now Cole and Garcia have one week to prepare for their own showdown. They stare down now, and Cole offers a handshake. Garcia takes it, the fans cheer the respect, and then Roddy & Kyle offer the same. FTR still leaves The Kingdom hanging? Even Garcia is surprised by that. But will there still be respect for Cole and Garcia after their Slam Dunk Saturday showdown?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, but I’m still not much for cold open promos. It’s really only an issue when trying to keep up and write stuff like this, because the wrestlers still do a great job. It just seems unnecessary when there are other promos both tonight and during the week that help us understand story. I can’t say for sure, but I doubt there are fans watching only Collision and not Dynamite. Just get to Ricochet VS Shibata as the opening moment for even more of a great match. As I predicted on Wednesday, we got both Heels winning tonight since Orange Cassidy and Mike Bailey won on Wednesday.
Great promo from Toni Storm, and a good one from Rosa, but I could just feel an attack ready to happen for Rosa’s. Megan Bayne is clearly building up to be that next challenger, she damages Rosa before their match, and then has a fairly easy time with Rosa in the match. Toni making the save only to need saving was also a nice twist. As I said on Dynamite, this next feud is about Toni overcoming someone so much bigger and stronger than her. Think like Rocky 4 and Rocky having to fight Ivan Drago. At the same time, if Megan & Penelope find a third, they can have a pretty good Six Woman Tag with Toni, Rosa & Kris. Gasp. Willow shocking us by going Heel because it’s Kris?
Very good promo from Swerve to put Ricochet over just a little bit. Swerve calling out both Cope and Moxley equally was also good, and of course Moxley would attack Swerve. He got payback from how Revolution ended, and gives one more ultimatum of his own before the Street Fight with Cope. Also, I wonder if the ambulances in the parking lot acts as foreshadowing. After all, Cope and friends hospitalized Pac, Claudio & Marina, and they’ll be coming back for revenge of their own. It’s half the reason the stipulation is “Street Fight,” aka no disqualifications and nothing to be done should they ALL attack and screw Cope over.
Good stuff from the Don Callis Family just wrecking people, but there is some match order and basically filler stuff going on that was just weird. Commentary called the Six Man Tag the “standby” match, aka the match they didn’t think they’d put on tonight, but no, no, no. Hobbs crushing The Frat House should’ve been the “standby” match, no way should The Frat House be getting on an AEW card on purpose. But that aside, Outrunners getting to help Hobbs was good stuff, and I’m sure we’ll get a Six Man Tag from that. And if Hobbs was going to get involved alongside Briscoe in going after Don Callis Family, why not just let this be Hobbs’ thing instead of that filler?
Sadly, Top Flight & Hologram VS STP wasn’t much better in the end. It was less about that actual match and more about plugging The Cru back into a story with Top Flight, and making a story out of “Harley-gram” and Mortos. Beauty & The Beast Mortos is going to be quite the romcom. But why is Harley being relegated to this when she was doing so well as herself? Good promo from Abrahantes to call out LFI and set up a tag match, though. Komander & Hologram VS Dralistico & Mortos is going to be fast ‘n’ furious, but I already have a feeling Harley’s presence is going to cost LFI.
At least FTR VS Kyle & Roddy was an awesome main event, bordering on PPV worthy. Cole and Garcia on commentary was some good stuff, but obviously all about plugging their title match next week. I figured FTR would win, but it feels like they’re slowly turning Heel. They didn’t show respect at the end there, and Dax has been on that “I’m not gonna apologize” thing for a few weeks. I don’t know if Garcia is going to start using that same attitude or if he cuts ties with them because of it. But Cole VS Garcia will be awesome stuff, and hard to call. Would they really do a title change on an episode that is partially preempted because of basketball? It’d give fans reasons to actually care about Collision.
My Score: 8.8/10
