Jaida Parker speaks.
“I’m in New York City, watching the main event between Giulia and Stephanie, because baby, Jaida Parker got next. You know what I’m saying? Or not?” Jaida’s talking to Mickie James! And Mickie tells Miss Parker that she tells her team on LFG (Legends & Future Greats) that you either sit around and wait for opportunities, or you go out and make your own. And if Mickie knows one thing about Jaida, is that Miss Parker don’t play, and she don’t wait. She goes out and takes, and takes, and then makes zero apologies for it. And in Mickie’s humble opinion, Jaida belongs at the top with names like Giulia and Stephanie.
But they both know that opinions only take you so far. It is Stand & Deliver Season! Jaida says Mickie is exactly right. So if Jaida wants her shot at the top of the best women’s division in the world, she has to go get it. Damn right! And Jaida says Mickie’s got her locked in. They fist bump and Jaida heads out. Will Miss Parker be more than ready for whoever walks away the DUAL Women’s Champion?
The D’Angelo Family talks backstage.
Stacks says, “I knew it!” He just knew Tony shouldn’t have competed last week, but it’s his fault Tony lost the NXT North American Championship. Rizzo asks, “What’re you talking about?” Luca says they can get it back. Stacks says no, he let his temper get the better of him. They don’t know what Stacks & Tony have been through. “Yeah, but I do.” Tony steps in, and he tells Stacks that he’s the Underboss, so he should know better. Getting emotional is a sign of weakness. But the same could be said about the family right now. There’s no respect, no fear! Tony gets that, he gets Stacks’ point, and he agrees with them.
The D’Angelo Family is still the best and they have a game plan. Tony says this is what they’ll do, but Stacks says he’s already on it. Stacks will get a Mixed Six Tag going: Stacks, Luca & Rizzo VS Jensen, Niko & Izzi. Luca says sign, sealed and delivered, Ava already signed off on it. See? The Consigliere has it covered. Tony says okay, then where does he figure into this? Stacks says he just figured, Stacks dropped the ball, he should pick it up. Plus, Tony’s back- Tony says his back is fine. And Stacks didn’t cost him the match. But okay, if they want to do this, fine. Tony cosigns on it. Stacks thanks The Don, but will the D’Angelos be able to strike back against Spears’ squad?
Jordynne Grace VS Roxanne Perez!
The Juggernaut was herself hoping to have her shot at the top titles, but she got a bit sidetracked with the former champion pitching a fit. But will The Prodigy learn to lose with Grace? Or can she find a way to repeat that performance from last year’s Battleground?

Oba Femi heads to gorilla.
And as he approaches, he looks over and sees THE DEADMAN! The Undertaker is here, and he steps over to Oba. Taker says, “I’ve been watching you for awhile now. And I gotta tell ya, I’m impressed. I don’t need to tell you how important this match is tonight. But what I will tell you is to go out there and defend your yard.” Taker and Oba fist bump.

Zaria posts to Instagram.
The Agent of Change says they did things Sol Ruca’s way a few weeks ago. And now, ahead of Sol’s shot at the Women’s United States Championship, it is time to do things Zaria’s way. Time to bring out that aggression. Sol hits Zaria from behind, but Zaria barely budges! Oh, they’re matching! From the black tops to the Zubaz zebra pants. But point is, they’re in the rage room! Helmets on, and just start SMASHING! Zaria is very good at smashing, and Sol starts to get the hang of it. They even add in some ax throwing lessons. And to top it off, a shoey. Will all this venting help Sol snatch that title off The Hot Mess?
The Fatal Influence talks with Ava Raine.
Fallon Henley says the NXT General Manager cannot keep avoiding the subject. Where is her rematch for the Women’s North American Championship?! Better yet, she deserves it! Ricky Saints walks by, he asks the ladies to all calm down. Everyone is so angry around here. Jacy Jayne says Ridge Holland had the right idea last week. Ricky does not belong in NXT. The Influence leaves, Ava promises they will talk about this later, and Ricky says, “I don’t know how you do it.” Ava isn’t so sure, either. But Ricky says that is the second time someone’s said Ricky doesn’t belong. And if Ridge is trying to get something trending, Ricky’s gonna nip that in the bud.
So to Ricky, the only way to do that is to physically prove a point to Ridge. Ava takes that to mean he wants a match. Ricky says yes. Then next week good for Ricky? Yes, that sounds good. Ethan Page then walks by, and he tells Ricky that NXT doesn’t like outsiders like Saints. Doesn’t everybody know that? Ethan then pushes past Ricky to go to gorilla. Will All Ego absolutely eat his words tonight? Or will Ethan end the Young OG once and for all?

NXT hears from Shawn Spears’ group.
Brooks Jensen says, “When I was at my lowest, you saw promise in me. And now, I’m ready to take on the world.” Niko Vance says, “This group’s mission: purge the weak; slaughter the feeble; and reshape this NXT society exactly how we envision it.” Izzi Dame says, “Out of the shadows, The Culling was born. United by survival, four hearts meld together as one, with the desire to reach the zenith of NXT.” Last week, they shook the world with a warning shot to signify the arrival of The Culling. Izzi asks The Chair Man how it feels to finally taste NXT gold. Spears says, “Exhilarating. But we’re not finished yet.”
Last week, Spears took this gold. But next week, Jensen, Niko & Izzi will take their hearts. Spears smiles, will The Culling begin The D’Angelo Family?

My Thoughts:
An awesome Roadblock from NXT, which they finally settled on having as “NXT Roadblock” in the graphics and all that. And as I’d said in the build to this, it was clear the Hardys weren’t going to lose the TNA tag titles, and Oba wasn’t going to lose the NXT title, certainly not to superstars of the other company. But as I’ve also said, keeping the status quo is just fine when the matches are really good, which is definitely what we got tonight. Fraxiom certainly felt close to winning those tag titles, and getting this moment with The Hardys was definitely an acknowledgement of their abilities. I wonder if the tables are turned and Fraxiom will have to defend their titles against the Hardys now.
Oba VS Moose was also incredible, and after weeks of the announce desk on Raw & SmackDown barely budging, that NXT desk just EXPLODING under Oba was some good stuff. Great win for Oba, and again, maybe they return the favor by having Moose defend his X-Division title. Je’Von VS Ethan was also awesome, and it didn’t have a problem following Oba VS Moose because of the Street Fight stipulation. Kudos to Je’Von for taking those rougher spots, but it’s also a good thing he’s young because he can bounce back from those rougher spots. And we really need a name for Dion’s group already, but I suppose that’d require them to actually get in the ring and do stuff.
Trick had a good promo that was only a little redundant given he attacked Eddy and had a quick brawl with him. Their Underground match will be really good, but hard to say who wins it. The D’Angelo Family had a good promo to help set up a Mixed Six Tag, which will be a good match. Shawn Spears’ group had a good promo, when you look at it in a vacuum. But “The Culling” really has some bootleg Schism vibes. Spears talked about it being a family, though I suppose he did start this journey as a borderline cult leader. But I don’t know if that name really works for them, or the “mission” as implied by the name.
But at least we got great stuff in the Women’s Division as usual. Grace VS Roxie was a great match, and that was a great win for Grace to overcome the damage to her leg. Fun little promo from Zaria and Sol, Sol VS Chelsea will be good stuff, but I think the Secret Her-vice finds a way to screw Sol over. Jaida had a good promo with Mickie James, and I would think Jaida does get her shot at at least THE NXT Women’s Championship. Fallon clearly wants her shot at the Women’s North American Championship, maybe she’ll have to earn it first. The Influence having issues with Ricky was a little uncalled for, but at least we have Ricky VS Ridge set up now.
And of course Giulia VS Vaquer was awesome. The chatter was that Giulia would need time off for a nagging injury, so Vaquer winning makes sense. Vaquer pulling double duty by taking on Jaida and Fallon separately could be a possibility, but that really depends on how big Stand & Deliver is going to be. I could see Fallon “getting snubbed” for her attitude and only getting her rematch on like the go-home NXT or something, so that Vaquer can focus on just Jaida in Vegas.
My Score: 9/10

What was meant to be former friends settling a grudge is now a second chance for a “Real Latino Man.” Gabe Kidd is hurt, so Andrade is back again, but will he redeem himself from the New Beginning in USA? Or will Gene Blast still be golden?

Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall (NEW IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion)
An instant classic and an absolute shocker at the same time as Andrade has his revenge! Yota went from two belts to none, what will his journey of redemption look like?
As for Andrade, Tanahashi presents him with the belt, and Andrade holds it high. This is not only a win for the United Empire, but a win for AEW and the Don Callis Family. Andrade grabs a mic to say, “I did it.” The fans applaud, and Andrade continues by saying, “I wanna say thank you. Yota Tsuji is good, he’s an amazing talent, but Andrade El Idolo was better tonight.” The fans applaud again, and Andrade says he knows many know he is an AEW talent, but this title is NJPW’s. So Andrade will now officially be working in both companies, both companies are in his blood. And he wants to thank everyone here in Japan for watching.
Andrade says he now has a question, and it is a simple one: Who wants to challenge him? The fans applaud, and Andrade drops the mic. Andrade holds up the belt again, but wait! Stepping out in a nice suit is Drilla Moloney. But then Shota Umino is also here, still in ring gear. Andrade likes where this is going as the two challengers talk on stage. 44 Caliber and Roughneck both go to the ring, and Andrade asks if they heard what he said. So Drilla wants this title? And Shota wants it, too? Then he has an idea.
If they want this title, HIS title, why not this just be a Triple Threat for the Global Heavyweight Championship? Just say where, when, and what time. Then The RRRREAL~ Latino Man will be there! The fans cheer as Andrade is already raising the bar on this belt! Andrade says just call and he’ll be there. Andrade tells the fans, “Arigato!” The fans cheer, but will Andrade regret stacking the odds for his first defense? When and where will we see this shootout happen?
My Thoughts:
A great start to the Wrestling Dontaku double event, and quite the surprising result for the main event. While House of Torture shenanigans were 1000% expected for Narita VS Oleg, that was still a great match. But at the same time, as great as Oleg is, he was not going to become a TRIPLE champion between the NJPW Strong and both NEVER Openweight titles. Aaron Wolf stepping up to Ren is good stuff, but seriously, can Tanahashi use his authority to put ringside bans up? It’s actually bad kayfabe logic from management to not see that as an option.
But as I was saying, amazing main event, and Yota losing is pretty wild. I suppose even if this was Yota Tsuji VS Gabe Kidd, Gabe winning would’ve worked in story, too, positioning this title as a crossover title between NJPW and AEW. Yota’s story of making a comeback will be an intriguing one. Perhaps he uses the G1 Climax as his road back. As for Andrade being up for the Triple Threat with Shota and Drilla, that’s pretty cool, too. I don’t see Andrade losing his first defense, but a Triple Threat is a classic way to keep all parts strong no matter the result.
My Score: 8.9/10

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?

Tag to Garcia, Garcia brings Ace up and bumps him off buckles, then Collision goes picture in picture.
Garcia climbs up, he rains down fists, stops at nine and puts up his dukes. But no dancing here, he just hops down to bump Ace off buckles. Garcia scoops and SLAMS Ace, then tags Yuta. Yuta climbs up to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that, but Yuta clamps on with a chinlock. Ace reaches out but Yuta clamps on a straitjacket. Yuta grinds his forearm into Ace, but Ace fights up to fire body shots. Yuta ripcords Ace to ELBOW him down! Tag to Garcia, they stomp away, but the ref reprimands. Yuta stops at 4, but Garcia stands on Ace at the ropes! Garcia stomps away, stops at 4, then taunts Juice.
Yuta gets a cheap shot in while the ref holds Juice back. Garcia bumps Ace off buckles, but the ref backs him off. That lets Yuta DUMP Ace out, and Marina is again there to cause problems! Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together! Then they DOUBLE SHOTGUN Ace down! Marina & Moxley love it but they’re the only ones. Garcia reels Ace into a PERUVIAN NECKTIE! The fans boo, but Juice rises up. Ace reaches out, pries free, and has the ROPEBREAK! Garcia drags Ace back up but Ace fires body shots!

Both men are down and the fans fire up! Ace and Garcia crawl, hot tags to Yuta and Juice! Juice RUNS Yuta over, THROWS Garcia in, then CLOBBERS Yuta! And CLOBBERS him again! Juice LARIATS Garcia back out, then ELBOWS Yuta down! SENTON!
The fans fire up for Juice, and he CROSSBODIES Garcia down! Juice talks trash on Moxley, but Garica throat chops him! Moxley says keep your eye on the ball. Yuta DIVES, but Juice uses Garcia as a shield! the fans cheer the friendly fire, and Jucie SMACKS Yuta off the desk! Yuta is busted right open! Juice fires up, the fans pump it up with him, and Juice JABS! JABS! JABS! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Garcia gets up, but he gets the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Yuta runs up, but Juice JABS, JABS, JABS! Marina gets up, and Juice thinks about it. But Yuta rolls Juice up! TWO and Yuta bumps into Marina! The fans cheer as Juice then O’Conner Rolls, TWO!
Juice staggers, comes back, and LEG LARIATS Yuta down! Cover, Garcia breaks it in time! The fans boo but Ace is in! Ace ROCKS Garcia, KNEES, KICKS, and runs up in the corner! Garcia BOOTS Ace, then DUMPS him out! Juice whips Yuta, but Yuta sunset flips! Rewind into Garcia’s PILEDRIVER!! Yuta goes up, Garcia positions Juice just right, FASTBALL SPECIAL!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley is frustrated for his guys, and Yuta snarls through his crimson mask! Yuta aims, BUSAI- NO, Juice ducks the knee! But Garcia SHOTGUNS! But Ace FLYING CHUCKS! Yuta wrenches Ace, RIGHT ANGLE SLAM!
Yuta fires up, he brings Juice around, but Juice hits the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Then the JUICE BOX!! Cover, BANG BANG GANG WINS!
Winners: Ace Austin & Juice Robinson, by pinfall
Moxley is honestly stunned, but he admits that was good stuff. Saturday nights are alright for a fight, and Garcia CLOBBERS Juice! Yuta LOW BLOWS Ace! The Death Riders are sore losers, Moxley says you don’t go calling him out and get away with it. Garcia CHOKES Juice, Yuta stomps Ace, but “GUNNS UP!” YES, Austin & Colten Gunn are both back! And they rush in to CLOBBER the Death Riders! They fire off on Moxley, but Yuta 7 Garcia come back for more! The Gunns DECK those two, then wait on Moxley! But Marina saves The Maniac from a 3:10 to Yuma! Yuta runs in, he gets the 3:10 TO YUMA!!
The fans fire up as The Bang Bang Gang is now four men strong! Colten gets a mic to shout, “The Collision Cowboys are back, baby! This is OUR show! And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?
The bell rings and Skye just BOOTS Nixi down! Then she scuffs Nixi, talks trash on her, and pie faces her around. Skye TOSSES Nixi out, then runs up, only for Nixi to BOOT her back! Skye ROCKS Nixi, then runs up again, to BOOGT WASH her to the floor! Skye scowls as she stalks Nixi on the outside, and she brings Nixi up to SMACK her off steel steps! And again, and again, and again! The fans cheer Skye as she puts Nixi on the apron. Skye drags Nixi out for a DRAPING SWINGING NECKBREAKER to the floor! Nixi writhes but Skye puts her back in the ring. Skye swaggers while the fans cheer, then she climbs up the corner.
Nixi slowly rises so Skye revels in the cheers a little more. Nixi ROCKS Skye, but Skye ROCKS her back! They brawl up top, but Skye slips under to tuck Nixi in! CHEEKY NANDOS! Then Skye gets under Nixi for a RUNNING POWERBOMB! Flip over and KNEE!! Cover, but Skye lets up! The fans re torn, but Skye shouts out Julia Hart with the dragon sleeper! She drops down, DESCENT INTO MADNESS! Nixi TAPS, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by submission
Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off. Knight asks Shibata if he taught Hook that trick. Shibata ignores Knight, but Knight and Hook tie up again. Hook headlocks, wrenches, then wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to snapmare. Knight drops a KNEE on the arm! Hook scrambles away but Knight calls to Shibata, saying he knows Shibata knows these tricks. Knight does squats like back in the dojo, and the two tie up again. Knight powers Hook back, Hook turns things around, and they go along ropes.
The ref counts as the two keep going around and around, then they return to center. Hook waistlocks, Knight switches, but Hook switches back. Knight wrenches, hammerlocks, and the fans rally. Hook reaches back to hit the SAYANAGI! Hook runs but Knight stays low. Knight hurdles, then HIP TOSSES, but Hook handsprings through!

Knight arm-drags Hook, then arm-drags again, but Hook avoids the dropkick! The fans boo as Hook scrambles to the corner.
Knight taunts Hook & Shibata, but Shibata coaches Hook up. Hook kicks low, ROCKS Knight, then fires body shots and backhands in the corner! Knight turns things around to return the body shots and forearms! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, but Hook avoids the haymaker! Hook fires more body shots, then a HEADBUTT! Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring. Hook argues with the ref more, but that lets Shibata line up a shot! Shibata BOOTS Knight into the crowd! The fans cheer again, they don’t mind Collision being interactive. Shibata puts Knight in for Hook to cover, TWO!
Hook is frustrated but Shibata coaches him up. Hook drags Shibata up, but Knight fires body shots! Knight ROCKS Hook, shakes out his hand then runs, only for Hook to follow! Hook CLOBBERS Knight, covers, TWO! Shibata argues the count but no, it was fair. Hook clamps onto Knight with a SLEEPER! Knight endures, even as Hook leans on him. Knight fights around, reaches out, then fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally. Knight fires shots, Hook shoves, but Knight returns! STAELLITE- NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Knight survives and Hook is furious!
Hook hauls Knight up, fires body shots, then ROCKS Knight. Hook whips corner to corner, but Knight comes back to LARIAT! The fans fire up as Knight keeps going, SHOULDER TACKLE! Knight whips, Hook reverses, but Knight goes up and over! Knight comes back, LEAPING LARIAT! Hook sputters away but Knight kips up! The fans fire up and Knight runs up to scoop and SLAM! The fans cheer as Knight says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Hook survives but the fans still rally behind Knight. Shibata coaches Hook and Hook rises up. Knight also stands, and Knight runs up, SATELLITE- NO, Hook powers free!
Hook goes to a corner, Knight runs up and blocks a boot! Knight ROCKS Hook, hoists him up top, but Hook kicks Knight away. Knight returns to the UPPER ROOM! Hook goes tumbling away to the far corner! Shibata is worried but Knight grins. Knight says this is for Shibata-sensei! HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans cheer Knight using Shibata’s signature, and that just pisses Shibata off! Knight puts Hook in the drop zone but Hook grabs at the ref. Knight climbs up, but Shibata shakes the ropes! The fans boo as that trips Knight up!

The fans cheer, but Hook runs up again! GERMAN SUPLEX, but Knight handsprings through!! Then Knight LARIATS Hook down! Then Knight waits on Hook, for the SATELLITE DDT!! Knight puts Hook in a drop zone, hurries up a corner, and takes aim… MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10
