Andrew’s TNA Rebellion Results & Match Ratings: 4.27.2025
Do we make any history with an NXT wrestler taking TNA titles tonight?
So aside from the Hardy Compound cinema, TNA has been kind of crap the last month or so. We find out that JDC can’t make the show due to “travel issues” so Moose will pull double duty. The opening Ultimate X and then the specialty trios closer to the middle of the show, most likely. I’m also not really a big fan of trying to say “Joe reaggravated the injury at WM” when he didn’t sell it, didn’t have tape on it, didn’t wince, nothing. Stop treating the people like they’re stupid to the gimmicky crap.
But let’s be honest, if we can’t get a good match out of Tessa vs Masha. Maclin vs EY or Santana vs Ali…then TNA will be a very difficult watch moving forward.
Only good thing to happen before Rebellion officially starts is Fallon Henley looked like a complete snack in the Countdown. *chef’s kiss*
Now let’s see if this disappoints.
Will @FrankieKazarian finally achieve destiny and capture the TNA World Championship TONIGHT at #TNARebellion!?

Results:
X Division Championship: Ultimate X Match: Matt Cardona vs El Hijo del Vikingo vs KC Navarro w/AJ Francis vs Leon Slater vs Sidney Akeem vs Moose (c)
As soon as the bell rings, four guys scramble to the corners, Cardona and Moose grab chairs and swat the smaller guys off the ropes and then lay into each other. Chair duel, Radio Silence attempt from Cardona, but Moose catches him and Pop-Up Powerbomb sends Cardona to the outside. Moose tries to just stand on a chair because he’s afraid of heights, obviously can’t reach and Vikingo flies into screen with a Cutter on Moose. KC and Vikingo start going back and forth. Vikingo misses the Double Knees, KC catches him with the 305 and looks to head for the belt but Sidney Akeem makes it into the ring and works over KC. Cardona attacks Akeem, Leon lays out Cardona after a Handspring Back Elbow. Moose stops Leon from climbing anything but a few kicks and a Tope con…CAUGHT! Moose tries to Powerbomb Leon on the ramp, Leon turns it into a Frankensteiner. Vikingo flies from the ring out to lay out Leon and then we get Dive Car Crash spot from all the smaller wrestlers.
Akeem tries to take advantage of things but Moose had time to recover, Moose plucks Akeem off the truss, Superplex into Powerbombing Akeem into everyone on the floor. Moose then asks Alisha if she can get the belt for him because he’s afraid of heights. It almost worked but Lish slips and falls, Moose catches her and while distracted Leon Superkicks Moose and Moose and Lish go crashing and spilling out. Leon and Vikingo try some goofy launch spot that takes too long to set up and looks dumb. Vikingo stops Leo, KC hits the Blessing In Disguise on Vikingo. Akeem slows down KC, but KC fights off everyone until Leon grabs him, drops him on his shoulder but KC turns it into a DDT. KC hits a ReBoot on Cardona when he tries to take advantage and KC is in complete control. Cardona gets up before KC can make it across the X and rips KC down violently.
Cardona tries to climb but gets crotched. Akeem starts to climb but Moose tries to stop him, flips him around like the Uneven Bars and Akeem Senton Splashes into Moose. Smaller guys use the Tower of Doom to basically throw KC into Cardona and Moose who were brawling, Mexican Destroyer from Vikingo on Akeem. AJ gets in the ring and hits Vikingo with a Down Payment and tries to help KC on AJ’s shoulders. Moose walks in, smirks and Spears AJ, then Jacknife Powerbomb for KC, Radio Silence from Cardon, Harlem Sidekick from Leon, and Leon is the only one moving right now. Leon climbs the entire truss and pulls off a Swanton 450 from like 20 feet in the air to the pile of people on the floor. Leon does manage to get up even though no one really caught him. Leon climbs across, grabs the title, has to get the ground and Moose intercepts Leon with a Lights Out, Leon drops the title before hitting the ground to secure it, and Moose grabs the belt, so he retains.
TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles: Hot Topic Hotties (Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley) vs Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend vs Elegance Clique (c)
Hotties kick the Meta Girls out of the ring before the bell so Ash and Tatum start, but Ash tags out before contact to Heather. Tatum is stalking Heather on all fours so Heather gets freaked out and tags in Dani Luna. Dani starts a short arm Should Block before Jody turns it around in the Spitfire corner and Dani and Jody pull off some tandem offense. Tatum tags in Gigi so the Hotties double team Dani a bit before the Elegance Clique trip Dani and pull her out before we just get dives for the heck of it into the pile of people. Heather wants to join too, but Lash cuts her off and hits the Gorilla Press to toss Heather out. Jakara stands on Lash’s shoulders and jumps off into the pile of waiting morons. Gigi and Jakara are legal I think and I don’t know who to root for…but Gigi tags out to Heather to catch her breath.
Elbows, Sliding Lariats, random blind tags. Somewhat entertaining but it does make typing difficult. Malfunction time, Ash tries the save but hits Heather instead so Spitfire start German Suplexing everyone but Hotties get the blind tag. Tandem Sliding German, just lots of chaotic action…Jakara and Tatum are legal, assisted Powerbomb from the Meta Girls but Elegance Clique breaks the pin. Ash and Jody are the legal two, goofy chop spot, Airplane Spin TKO from Jody, but Lash breaks the pin then breaks Jody’s back. Gigi and Dani trade shots, Kajara with a Corkscrew Missile Dropkick, just move spam spot. Ash was trying to coordinate with Heather for Rarefied air, but opposite sides Tower of Doom. Maggie Lee runs out to help Ash not get suplexed, Rarefied Air from Ash, and the Elegance Clique retain!
The fact they’re still doing a shitty kayfabe Injury Report is moronic. No one needs a recap like that much less an insulting “Injury Report” like it thinks we think it’s real.
Rascalz & Ace Austin w/Sean Waltman vs The System
So Wentz and Myers start, Myers got a few early strikes but a Corkscrew Crossbody tag out and tandem Wishbone, Double Dropkick give the Rascalz the early mojo. Myers tags out to Eddie and Trey is kinda working over Eddie so Trey tags out to Ace and Ace comes in with a flurry of kicks, strikes, knee lifts, Eddie counters the FameAsser but Ace stumbles back into Trey for a tag. Trey goes for some Road Dogg offense and Eddie powders, then uses Lish as a shield so the heels have the control now.
Moose gets tagged in so he uses the t-shirt he was wearing to choke out Trey. Waltman has to call the referees attention, but the shenanigans are keeping The System in control. Myers puts Trey in a Figure Four, Eddie digs his knee into Trey’s joints in some modified Indian Deathlock added spot before Trey tries to turn things around and counter Eddie’s offense with a Sunset…but Eddie doesn’t fully flip, manages a tag to Myers and Myers stifles Trey’s next few attempts at firing up. He sets for the Roster Cut but eats a V-Trigger from Trey. The System members try to stop Trey, Trey dodges in the ring, but when he dives to tag out, Moose and Eddie rip Ace and Wentz off the apron. Locomotion corner spots from System, Blue Thunder Bomb into a Jumping Senton for only two.
It looks like The System is toying with their food a little too long, so Trey flips out of a Suplex, Wentz tags in and starts lighting up everyone, his Back Handspring Knee Lift rocks Moose for a two count. Wentz and Trey quick tags, Lightning Fold into Spiral Tap! 1-2-SYSTEM BREAKS IT UP! Ace hits the FameAsser, Trey hits the Shake, Rattle and Roll, Lish gets in the ring to stop the boys from doing a DX reference. Waltman gets in the ring to stop Lish, she tries to hit him so he hits her with an X Factor! BRONCO BUSTERS FOR ALL! SUCK IT! Trey, Ace and Sean clear most of the Planeteers, Wentz looks to stop Moose, Moose counters first but Wentz counters the Lights Out with an X Factor then…UFO CUTTER! Wentz gets the pinfall!
TNA International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Armoury Jabronis
Maclin shatters the mask EY gave him, so the jabronis attack before the bell and Maclin works past them with ease. Maclin a few clubbing blows, EY with an eye poke into a few clubs of his own, then Maclin Dives, but over the top rope instead of through the ropes. Jabronis get involved again since EY distracted the referee. Maclin reverses EY’s whip, EY goes the Flair corner flop, walks the apron, slides through the five hole though and tries to catch Maclin, but Maclin catches him, Tree of Woe, then the jabronis get involved again. But this time they’re in the ring, Maclin manages to get them seen by the referee, so they get ejected, but when Maclin finally goes for the Caught in the Crosshairs, EY sits up and Maclin goes crashing.
A little bit of brawling as EY tries to drag Maclin back in, he fights off EY’s grabs, Olympic Slam from Maclin! Maclin looks for the Jar Headbutt, but EY meets him on the top, Maclin fights off, EY’s foot slips and he’s caught in the Tree of Woe again. He tries to sit up but Maclin drops a Stomp into the Caught in the Crosshairs. Overhand Chop from Maclin as he perches EY, but EY bites Maclin to stop whatever he was planning, shoves him off and hits the Macho Elbow for only two. EY argues with the referee a lot, Maclin tries to hit a Spear but EY dodges, they wrestle to the apron and the move doesn’t go off perfect but gets dropped ass first on the apron. EY tries a dirty cover once he rolls him back in, but only two again!
They throw fists in the center, Maclin hits the ropes and Busaiku! Maclin tries KIA, but EY counters, EY tries the Piledriver but more repositioning and Maclin rolls through into a Cradle, and 1-2-3. Oh? Maclin wins via a wrestling move.
Falls Count Anywhere: Mustafa Ali w/Tasha Steelz & Great Hands vs Mike Santana
Both charge at each other and throw hands, Mustafa gets the bad part of the early trade, but speaking of bad, Santana is supposed to go for some kind of Triangle Plancha or Corkscrew Crossbody but loses his footing and looks kinda dumb trying to do something to Ali. He then takes forever to set up a weird steps spot after missing his one spot, but Ali counters the Whip and then goes into the ring for a Dive. Santana side steps the Dive and Ali lands ugly. Ali tries to run away, but Santana goes after him even grabs a bucket of popcorn to bonk Ali with. Santana hits an Asai Moonsault from the second section railing onto Ali on the walkway. Crackerjack boxes to the head, so after the bad looks dives, they’ve at least fired up the crowd with all the crowd work.
Secret Service and Great Hands attack, then Ali jumps from the second floor to the floor into the pile of bodies. Tries a pinfall but Santana gets his shoulder up barely. Ali looking for chairs, finds them and starts building the two chairs and a Powerbomb design. But Santana counters, tries it himself, Ali slips it, Superkick, runs forward and Santana turns it into a Spicolli Driver through the chairs. Santana slowly heads to the turnbuckles, so Ali recovers and whacks Santana with a chair, traps him in the corner on the apron with a chair and then Ali hits the Coast to Coast on the apron. That can’t feel good for anyone.
Ali paintbrushes Santana but Santana fires, then they start trading following offense into the corners until Santana Up and Overs, Ali turns and gets rammed face first into the buckles. Santana wants Spin the Block, but Great Hands grab him and grab a Table. They lay out Santana with a Double Chokeslam on the apron, they lay Santana on the table… Ali goes up and 450 through the table but no one is covered and Santana is talking too much because the spot is awkward. Great Hands grab the steps, they produce some handcuffs and they want to trap Santana against the Step, but he Double Coconuts the nerds and Double Rolling Buck Fifty. Santana handcuffs the Great Hands in front of the steps, Santana keeps looking for something under the ring and finds a barbed wire bat. Ali finally remembers he’s alive and Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker. Ali tries the 450 again but misses. Standing Spanish Fly from Santana, so he goes for a pinfall but Tasha Steelz makes the save!
Tasha finds another table, the crowd rejoices. Ali grabs Santana, but Santana sends Ali into the post. Tasha tries to step up to Santana, she slaps him and tries another but Santana grabs her arm Crucifix Powerbomb’s Tasha through the table. Ali clocks Santana with a chair and then finds, that’s right, another table. Ali puts Santana on the table, tries to go to the corner with the steps and Great Hands, but Santana cuts him off, Superplex with the steps through the table! 1-2-Ali kicks out!! Ali manages to grab the barbed wire bat and clock Santana right in the head! Ali is mouthing off too long, tries another swing once he realizes Santana is back up but Santana catches it on his side and Spin the Block! Santana wins!
Entertaining, but the sloppy start and over booking since it’s Falls Count Anywhere with a heel stable, can’t rank it super high. But it definitely wasn’t a chore to watch.
TNA Knockouts Championship: Tessa Blanchard vs Masha Slamovich (c)
Slamovich dives at Tessa during her own entrance, then a sliding V Trigger into Snow Plow for a near fall. Masha vibes with the crowd chiding at Tessa, but Tessa fires, tries to jam Masha’s knee with a Hell Hook that she drives into the mat, more sudden and violent attacks on joints as Tessa starts going to work. Masha does slow her down on the Apron, Masha tries the Shinsuke Inside Out Vertical Suplex, but Masha stops it, trips her so she’s seated on the middle rope, Slingshot Crossbody and a two. Tessa has Masha in a Tree of Woe where she grabs the left leg she’s been working on and stretches it and Dropkicks the left knee. Tessa is trying to dismantle Masha. Tessa has an interesting Leg Lace Hyperextension submission before just grabbing the knee and laying in punches.
Tessa has he set for Magnum, but Masha catches her, then Tessa turns it into a Destroyer. Tessa tries to charge into the corner but Masha turns it into a Code Red. Tessa is biting the ropes to try and stand back up. Masha is winning the strikes, Spinning Backfist, a couple hampered kicks, solid offense but injured looking, so good selling. Tessa counters Requiem with a Jacknife Cradle but Masha kicks out, a few more counters into a Dragon Screw Leg Whip and then Indian Deathlock! Tessa bites Masha then has some kind of Butterfly Indian Submission. It’s cool looking but in the corner so Masha can grab a rope.
Lots of corner struggles, Masha tries to grab Tessa for an Avalanche Requiem, but instead Tessa turns it into a Rope Hung Magnum. Masha kicks out, but now we’re looking for the Buzzsaw DDT, Masha counters, Requiem attempt, counter, counter again, Requiem hits! Tessa kicks out at two! Tessa hits the Cutter, into a Buzzsaw DDT but only…a two count? The crowd is completely shitting on this match, so I’m not sure if anything is being changed on the fly since an LA crowd isn’t gonna really go with Tessa. Tessa goes to the top but jaws with the crowd a bit, Masha manages to intercept, they struggle on the top rope again, Slaps, Headbutts, and Masha looks to be winning, Avalanche Death Valley Driver, V-Trigger! For only two! But Masha locks in the Fujiwara Armbar to submit Tessa.
Booooo…Masha is a good wrestler but such a God awful promo. Was it probably a good call given the crowd…but still, sheesh.
TNA Tag Team Championships: The Hardy Boyz (c) vs The Kaiba Boys
Hardyz hit the ring and immediately go after the Nemeths to recover the belts that were stolen from the Compound. But the match has yet to officially start. More just point of order, the Hardyz wanted to touch their belts.
Bell rings, all four are in and brawling. Older vs younger. Matt catches the Superkick, snaps off a DDT and Matt pins Nic but only a two count. Matt Rocket Launcher’s Nic into the middle rope throat first, tags in Jeff, Classic Back Elbows and Splash/Leg Drop combo for a near fall. Nic with a quick kick and an eye poke to tag in Ryan. Ryan keeps Jeff isolated, tags out quickly, and now the Nemeths are rocking and rolling with quick tags, quick hits an a few moments of using the ropes to choke Jeff. Ryan comes in, gets a few shots in, poses and shows off. Jeff tries to crawl to Matt, but Ryan cuts it off once until the Jawbreaker and leap brings in Matt!
Delete Head Smashes for Ryan, Lariat and Side Effect, but Ryan kicks out. Matt calls for the Twist, Ryan says no, Nic Stun Guns Matt and Ryan flies in with a Jumping DDT but only a two. Nic calls for the tag, a few pot shots, distracts the ref and Ryan starts taking cheap shots. Nic goes into his Shots Through the Heart, but stops after two and flips off the crowd. Isolation continues, tag to Ryan and face getting dragged across the rope, Snapmares, Headlocks, just the classic “heel slows things down” offense. Ryan tries to tie up Matt but Matt turns it into a Suplex, simultaneous Lariats lead to the simultaneous tags and it’s Jeff versus Nic. Classic Leg Drop, Dropkick, Elbow from Jeff, Twist but Nic pushes off, feeds to the corner, gets popped and then Jeff hits the Whisper in the Wind for another two count. Jeff hits a Twist of Fate, but Ryan breaks up the pin. Matt disposes of Ryan, Plot Twist time…they hit the move but Ryan manages to slip in to break up the pin!
Matt and Ryan go fighting to the outside, Jeff tries a Roll-Up on Nic but Nic kicks out, FameAsser got hit by Nic! Only two!

Twist of Fate from Matt, Swanton…NO… Ryan crotches Jeff! Matt goes after Ryan again, Chairs and tables are coming into play. Matt looks to send Ryan through something but Ryan counters and bounces Matt’s back off the chair. Nic hits a Low Blow, Danger Zone, Ryan tags in, and gets the pinfall! MOKUBA DID IT!
TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs Frankie Kazarian vs Ethan Page
Both heels try to go after Hendry but of course he fights them off fairly well. A few chops, throws Ethan out, Joe tries to go for the Standing Ovation fast, but Kaz gets out of it, tries to hit a Chicken Wing on the bad arm, but Ethan grabs Kaz to the floor. Joe is not one to be outdone so he jumps the rope for his dive and tries to take it to Kaz, but Ethan gets involved fairly quickly. Page looks to Suplex Joe, but Kaz starts to enter the ring and all three take shots at each other before Ethan Suplexes Joe into Frankie.
Kaz is looking for weapons while Joe and Ethan are trading blows in the ring. Slingshot Head and Leg Cradle but kick out at two. Kaz starts swinging on Hendry, Hendry looks to be firing, but Kaz keeps control, goes for a Japanese Leg Clutch but Ethan charges so Kaz catches him and a Northern Light Leg Clutch but only a near fall. Kaz loses control when both Ethan and Joe catch him in the corner but Ethan locks in a Guillotine on Joe, but Joe stays on his feet to fight it off, Kaz drips a big Springboard Leg Drop but only twos. Ego’s Edge gets slipped, Standing Ovation Slipped, Fade to Black dodges, Ethan hits a Davey Boy Powerslam but we’re setting up so corner spot next. Hendry has Kaz in a Powerbomb, Ethan was perched, Kaz grabs Ethan and Avalanche Power Superplex. All three men are exhausted, Hendry tries to get a piece of Kaz but Kaz does his apron dodges to Leg Drop Hendry. Kaz wants to crash into Ethan, but Ethan moves and Kaz kills the time keeper.

Fade to Black through the table is teased, but Joe says no and instead Attitude Adjustment through the table! Ethan misses the title shot, but hits the Cutter into the title, only two! Sack of Shit, Kip Up, Standing Ovation! HENDRY WINS!
During the celebration, Trick Williams runs out to lay out Hendry and basically make his claim as next up.
Overall Score: 7/10
Okay well, the television episodes have been lukewarm dogwater, but at least this PLE was fun. None of the matches were truly exceptional, but nothing was offensive and most of the matches had legitimate entertainment value. There was also a touch of logic being thrown around here or there. Wentz does feel like a great person to take the X Division title off of Moose though, Maclin and EY aren’t quite done yet, Santana had to win since the story was a little too “good guy has to win”- but aside from the early sloppiness – it recovered to be a fun match. I agree that it was too early to crown Tessa…but I also didn’t want to see this so early because it’s obvious there’s only like 4 TNA women who are legit workers, Masha, Tessa, Lei Ying Lee and now Indi Hartwell. So the whole Knockouts Division needs some damn help, because Tessa is very obviously the best wrestler, and if you’re not pushing Lei as a singles right now…then what are we gonna do, just drag out the Tessa thing to the next PLE or Slammiversary?
The problem with TNA is they never write longer term stories without incessant matches or having the people touch. Even if it’s a No Contest finish or a DQ…they just have them do too much to stay interesting. Learn how to write a story where the tension is bubbling but things don’t need to fill a card at a worthless PLE. Masha has no real competition except Tessa right now cause the TNA heels aren’t good wrestlers. Could they continue to use NXT Women to bolster the Knockouts? Sure. But at some point a Knockout has to take it and the only one that makes sense is Tessa unless you turn Lei heel at some point.
All in all, it was a fine show for entertainment purposes and inoffensive matches. Nothing really flashy or great, but compared to the build, this over performed slightly, hence the 7.

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
