Callis is proud of his guys, because now they’re rolling into those Owen Hart Cup matches! Will Kyle once again best Mark Briscoe to then head for the Cup?

 

The Cru speaks.

Action Andretti calls out Dante & Darius Martin, and says, “Are y’all really sure you wanna do this tonight? Y’all been ducking us for months! Months! And now we’re here.” Lio Rush says, “We put y’all in the spotlight. You understand that? After beating y’all’s ass week after week after week, and tonight, it ain’t gonna be no different.” But then they spot Nick Wayne. The Cru steps to him and asks what’s up. Nick says sup, and Action tells Nick that they’ve got Top Flight tonight. Wherever Top Flight goes, AR Fox seems to follow. Remember that conversation had last week? Has he been thinking about it?

Nick says yeah, he has. So what’s he say? Nick is thinking of all the factors, all the outcomes if he helps The Cru. But in all honesty, he’s just too valuable to help them. Best of luck to them, but Nick says no. Oh, wow, Nick said no? Guess he needs daddy’s permission to do stuff, huh? What was that? Lio says Daddy Cage has Nick in a cage, and needs to give his permission for Nick to come out and play. Nick needs no one’s permission. He does what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants. So just know, if he sees Fox, it’s not for them. It’s for him. The Prodigy heads out, but will he still help The Cru one way or another?

 

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

So for the seventh time now, Platinum Max is in the ring with the documentation and mic in hand. “Peoria, you are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo, but Caster says he is lucky to be alive because he had to drive here, by himself, through a tornado, through gale force winds, all just to wrestle for you here today. Unlike someone he used to team with, not that he’ll say names. But there is only one thing that the people in “P-Town” want! The Maximaniacs wanna chant his name! It’s easy to do, so follow along! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” No, the fans prefer “Max, You Suck!”

Caster says he should’ve known that Peoria couldn’t remember eight words, they are just so stupid. But that’s why the Best Wrestler Alive is going to a real city. Sunday in Philadelphia, the Open Challenge is on in the City of Brotherly Love! And based on the lack of rhythm here, there ain’t no brothers here in Peoria. The fans boo, but Caster says time to get to business. Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? Caster waits, but “Reach for the sky, boy!” It’s Mark Briscoe! Caster is freaking out, because now he’s got the Sussex County Chicken to deal with! Will Caster fail to #ManUp against the former ROH World Champion?

The bell rings and Caster swings! Mark dodges to CHOP! Mark fires forearm after forearm, then fires up! The fans are with him, and Mark runs, but he ducks a boot! Redneck Crane Stance! Caster still swings, but Mark blocks and REDNECK UPPERCUTS! Caster falls, the fans fire up, and Mark stalks Caster to ropes. Mark whips, Caster reverses, but Mark CLOBBERS him! Callis complains that Redneck Kung-Fu can’t be legal. Mark runs in at Caster, but Caster BOOTS him! Caster goes up, but another UPPERCUT sends Caster down! Mark then runs to CANNONBALL TOPE! Down goes Caster and Mark high-fives the front-row!

Mark stalks Caster back into the ring, and says time to take his head off! The fans cheer that and Mark runs, but Caster follows Mark! But Mark catches Caster and reels him in to underhook! JAY DRILLER! Cover, Mark wins!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

Platinum Max is now 0-7 for his own challenge, and now Mark has momentum going into his battle with Kyle Fletcher. Will it be #DemBoys that move on towards the Cup? Will Caster reconsider putting that Open Challenge out in Philly?

 

Backstage interview with Jay White.

Lexy Nair is with The Switchblade, his left hand wrapped up heavily, as she brings up the horrible circumstances that now rule him out for the Owen Hart Cup. Replacing him is Kevin Knight, and White says he perhaps spoke too soon that it wouldn’t be Knight’s year in The Owen. Congratulations to Knight on this opportunity, White is very happy for him. Just remember, Knight, you’re only there because White can’t. And as for Will Ospreay, he gets to avoid Jay White once more. Ospreay can keep peddling the lie that he is on some unobtainable level, prancing around as the unchecked “GOAT” in White’s ring.

Ospreay’s words will catch up to him, just not today. He can flap those gums a little bit longer, all thanks to The Death Riders. Because White cannot compete, let alone win, the 2025 Owen Hart Cup thanks to The Death Riders. Even though the gold should already be on White’s shoulder, it is not! All thanks to The Death Riders. Moxley and his gang wanna make this personal, to put it lightly. But that is fine! They didn’t take White out, they just gave him a gift. They gave him time to plan and prepare! And when they see him again, Moxley & The Death Riders will regret ever thinking about The Switchblade.

Because White quite often enjoys reminding people who he is, but it is time he reminds himself. White IS The Switchblade, a cut above, and nobody’s got what he’s got. White heads out, but when and where will we see him return for revenge?

 

Top Flight w/ Leila Grey VS The Cru!

What was a high-flying fleet of four was eventually split in half because of ego and ambition. Darius & Dante want payback for the ambush attacks, but Action & Lio just want to leave them in the rearview mirror. Will AEW soon be under Cru’s control? Or will Top Flight reach new heights?

Leila struts out on stage, but where are Darius & Dante? They CLOBBER The Cru from behind! Payback for the blindside attacks, and the fans fire up as the brawl is on! Dante CLUBS Action, Darius UPPERCUTS Lio, and repeat! Darius CHOPS Lio, Dante CHOPS Action, and then Darius SMACKS Lio off the apron! Leila nods as her boys have control. Darius sends Lio into the steps, Dante CHOKES Action, and then things go into the ring. The bell rings, Top Flight storms up, but The Cru run! Top Flight duck, and now they’ve surrounded The Cru! Top Flight throw hands, Darius keeping on Lio and Dante with Action.

They’re in the corners, and Top Flight rain down fists! The fans count along, and we go all the way to TEN! Darius TOSSES Lio, Dante CHOPS Action, and Dante brings Action around to bump off buckles.

Tag to Lio, but Darius DROPKICKS him down! Darius CHOPS Lio, UPPERCUTS, then whips. Lio reverses, leaps, but into an atomic drop! Darius runs and BULLDOG HOTSHOTS Lio! But Action mule kicks Darius! Then ARABIAN PRESS!

The fans are torn while Darius is down, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Action! But Lio DIVES onto Dante! All four men are down on the outside and the fans rally up. “This is Awesome!” even as The Cru puts Darius in the ring, and Collision goes picture in picture.

The Cru stalks Darius, then CHOP! And ROCK! And CLUB him down, to then CLOBBER him! Lio soaks up the heat, then he CLOBBERS Darius! Lio rains down fists, BITES Darius’ forehead, but stops as the ref counts. Lio talks trash on Peoria, then on Dante, before he CHOPS Darius! Lio puts Darius in the corner, CHOKES him, but Action tags in. The Cru mugs Darius more, then Lio tags back in. Lio stomps a mudhole in, tags Action, and Action drags Darius up. Darius fires body shots, UPPERCUTS, but Action CLUBS him down! Action scoops and SLAMS Darius! Cover, TWO! Action is annoyed, but he stays between Darius and Dante.

Lio jaws at Dante, Action puts Darius on the ropes, and Action CHOKES Darius again, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Action has Darius in a chinlock. Darius endures and the fans rally up. Darius fights to his feet, fires body shots, then ROCKS Action! Action shoves Darius, runs up, but into BOOTS! Action comes back, DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! The fans rally for Top Flight as Action and Darius crawl. Leila coaches Darius, hot tags to Lio and Dante! Dante CLOBBERS Lio, CLOBBERS him again, then ducks a shot to JUMP KNEE! Half nelson, but Lio fights free to shove, only for Dante to springboard SHOTGUN! Cover, TWO! Lio stays in this but Dante fires up. The fans fire up with him as he drags Lio up.

Dante has a cravat, but Lio CLAWS Dante’s eyes! The ref reprimands but Lio tags Action. Lio rolls to get a leg, and Action hits a NECKBREAKER! Dante is down, but here comes Darius! Lio spins him for Action to mule kick, knee lift and ROLLING ELBOW! Lio fires fast hands and DECKS Darius! Darius flops onto ropes, Action drags Dante up, and Action whips. Dante reverses to send Action to a corner. Lio ROCKS Dante, whips him in, but Dante reverses! Action goes up and out, Lio slips under, and he UP KICKS Dante into an ENZIGIRI! Lio LARIATS Dante down, but Dante gets back up! Only for Action to springboard FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO!

Action is frustrated and argues with the ref, as does Lio, but the ref defends his count. The Cru snarl and drag Dante up. Darius saves Dante from the double suplex! The Cru and Top Flight trade haymakers back and forth! The fans rally up as things speed up! Action & Lio kick low, then fire more shots! Lio whips Darius, Action whips Dante, but Top Flight grabs the ropes to stop. The Cru runs up, but Dante jumps over and Darius BOOTS Action! Dante DIVES onto Lio! Darius mule kicks Action! Darius suplexes, but Action turns that around for a FALCON ARROW! Only for Dante to ghost pin! TOP FLIGHT WINS!

Winners: Top Flight, by pinfall

Lio CLOBBERS Dante, he’s a sore loser! The fans boo but Action adds on with stomps! Action shouts, “You think you better than us?” But AR FOX is here! Fox BOOTS Action, and BOOTS Lio! But here’s Nick Wayne! He goes up, up, and WAYNE’S WORLD!! Nick says he told Fox that he’s got his eye on him! Nick does it for Nick, but then he looks at The Cru. BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan, this isn’t going to end here! Nick Wayne & The Cru are now facing AR Fox & Top Flight in a Six Man Tag for Dynasty: Zero Hour! Will The Prodigy, The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour show Fox & The Martins who really run things?

 

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter and Billie Starkz.

Lexy Nair is with two of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup contenders, and says it is official that they face off in the first round. They all know that the winner of the Cup will face THE AEW Women’s World Champion for the title at All In: Texas. Jamie was impressed with Billie here, and she must say, fair play. Billie does hold her own. Jamie liked Billie before, but she really likes her now. That said, some friendly advice: Watch out for Athena. What was she doing coming out after their match, eh? Trying to steal the moment? Why’s she up in Billie’s business like that? Jamie would keep an eye on her if she were Billie.

But to be honest, if Billie thinks that for one second, Jamie will question herself going into the tournament when she’s already beat Billie, then Billie’s in fairytale land. Although, Jamie is up to Billie changing her mind. Billie snatches the mic from Lexy to tell Jamie that she’s not a failure, and has been trying to prove that to everyone here! And Jamie will see that in the Owen Hart Cup. Billie storms off, and Jamie says yes, she will. It is going to be quite the rematch to help open the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, but will Billie be reminded that Hayter Hits Hard?

 

Renee Paquette moderates a sit-down meeting.

She thanks Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly for taking this time to talk ahead of the TNT Championship match. There will be no time limit and no one else allowed at ringside. Garcia is finally defending the title on PPV as a fighting champion against someone with a veteran status like Adam Cole. Is Garcia feeling the pressure? Cole apologizes for interrupting and taking Garcia’s turn, but he would like to say something. Earlier today, Cole was thinking about the very first time he and Garcia faced off. It was about two years ago, Cole coming off the worst injury of his career while Garcia was still young, brash, and maybe confused.

After all, Garcia had aligned himself with Chris Jericho, was trying to figure out who he was. Fast forward to today, and Garcia is THE TNT Champion and a damn good one. But recently, Cole has been thinking that Garcia hasn’t really changed much. Garcia is still confused, because he thinks that he’ll beat Cole for this title at Dynasty. Cole has beaten Garcia before, Garcia has never beaten Cole. The last time they faced each other, if Cole had just five seconds more, five seconds, Cole would be champion now. Plus, this Sunday will mark Adam Cole’s 17th wrestling anniversary, and it is in Philadelphia, where Cole had his very first match.

Cole says it has been a long time coming to win singles gold here in AEW. And he promises us that it his destiny at Dynasty to win this championship. Garcia says Menard was right. Garcia didn’t have to give Cole another shot at this. But Garcia wanted to out of respect for everything Cole has done in these 17 years. Cole has done a lot, and has had many chances to show he is “the guy” around here. But just like how Garcia has given Cole chances at this title, Cole hasn’t done that, either. Garcia wants that to settle in: This is Cole’s last chance with Garcia. No more shot at this or that, it is done. There have been 17 years of opportunities for Cole, those were Cole’s 17 years.

But the next 17 years will belong to Garcia. Cole asks Roddy & Kyle to step out, and then asks Renee for that, as well. Garcia also has Menard exit, so now it is just Garcia and Cole. Cole wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows Garcia knows this, but Cole has a ton of respect for Garcia. Cole said it before, will say it again. But sometimes, he has to tell Garcia the truth. And the truth is, Garcia is not ready to lead the charge. Garcia is not ready to run a promotion, he is not ready to be THE champion. But Cole has ran practically every promotion he’s ever worked for. He has been world champion, he has broken records in more places than he can count.

Cole has been “The guy” longer than Garcia’s been wrestling! So if anyone knows what it takes to be a true champion, it is Cole. Garcia is not ready. Not yet. And if he doesn’t understand that, Cole will whoop that ass and show him on Sunday. Garcia gets up in a huff but Cole stands up, too. Garcia knocks on the table, then takes the title and leaves. Will Garcia make Cole eat those words? Or will the TNT Championship soon be Undisputed?

Shane Taylor Promotions speaks.

Shane Taylor himself says, “Hey, yo, check this out, Bravo.” Carlie Bravo asks what’s up. Shane says he is sick of letting people walk around here feeling safe. He is sick of letting people walk around here feeling comfortable. He is sick of hearing people talking about battlefields and warfare, and talking like they all gangster, when we know they ain’t built like that! Bravo says yeah, it is crazy. People here talk about battlefields, wars, “better not catch you lacking,” like they somebody’s big homies. Like, they ain’t your homies. They don’t even respect big homies. It’s why STP got the problems they got!

People be like, “STP, chill!” Chill for what? Who is these dudes? They ain’t Opps, they just opportunities! Shawn Dean says there’s nothing but space and opportunity. They slide on opps like Joe all the time! They done told y’all that STP is them! They done told y’all to run ‘n’ hide cuz STP is outside! They gonna stay outside! STP hopes you see them like good vision, because STP can’t wait to disrespect them. Rumble, bad men, rumble. Shane & The Infantry have called out Samoa Joe, Hook & Katsuyori Shibata, will these teams open fire on each other?

 

Ricochet is here!

Peoria is annoyed to see The One & Only walk out to the ring, but he’ll be on commentary for this next match. Will he keep it to just watching? Or will he make sure Speedball hits a speedbump?

The fans cheer as the two have a standoff. Dralistico and Bailey bow in respect, but then Dralistico flips Bailey off! Bailey blocks a kick, but Dralistico dodges a chop to body blow! And CHOP! Dralistico whips, Bailey reverses and KICKS Dralistico down! The fans fire up but Mortos is annoyed. Ricochet claims Bailey isn’t looking at commentary because he’s afraid of Ricochet. Bailey stands Dralistico up, but Dralistico CHOKES Bailey to the corner!

The ref reprimands, Dralistico lets off, and he CHOPS! Bailey sputters along the ropes, Dralistico cheers himself on, then he whips. Bailey handsprings, Dralistico sidesteps, but Bailey fires off the lightning kicks! ENZIGIRI and Dralistico falls. Now Bailey looks at Ricochet and dares him to come closer. Bailey goes out, but to go after Dralistico. However, Mortos stands in his way! Bailey says move aside, but then Dralistico KICKS Bailey in the leg! And whips Bailey into railing! Ricochet applauds, and Dralistico gives Bailey an atomic drop off the desk! Then SUPERKICKS him down! Ricochet cheers, the fans boo, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Dralistico drags Bailey up, stands him against the desk, and he wants Ricochet to hear this one. CHOP! Ricochet likes it! Dralistico soaks up the heat while he leaves Bailey behind in the ring. Dralistico argues with the ref, but that lets Mortos BOOT Bailey down! Mortos scuffs Bailey, steps on Bailey’s toes, but steps away as Dralistico steps back out. Dralistico SMACKS Bailey off the steps! Dralistico pulls on Bailey’s hair, the ref reprimands, but Dralistico lets off to argue. Dralistico puts Bailey back in the ring, then CHOKES him in the corner! The ref counts, so Dralistico rains down fists! The ref coutns again, so Dralistico stops.

Dralistico runs side to side and BOOT WASHES! Dralistico then lounges on the corner to say tranquilo. Dralistico clamps onto Bailey with a GROUND COBRA! Bailey endures, Dralistico lets go to then put him in the corner, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Dralistico springboards in, but Bailey dodges! Bailey goes up to springboard and MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Bailey snarls. Ricochet looks a bit worried, but Bailey aims to mule kick! And AX KICK! And then BUZZSAW! Dralistico is down but the fans fire up as Bailey STANDING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO! Dralistico toughs it out, but he also bails out to the apron. Mortos helps Dralistico up, but Bailey goes up, up, and GOLDEN TRIANGLE! Mortos takes the hit! Bailey glares at Ricochet, Ricochet dares him to do something. Dralistico FLIES and takes out Bailey!

The fans boo as Dralistico puts Bailey in the ring. Dralistico springboards, FLYING CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Bailey survives and the fans fire up! Dralistico argues with the ref but the count was fair. Dralistico underhooks, TIGER- RARNA from Bailey! TWO and Dralistico sunset flips! TWO, and Bailey kicks, but Dralistico ducks to roll him up! TWO!! Bailey dodges a lariat, comes back, but Dralistico dodges! HEEL KICK from Bailey! Then the SPINNING HEEL KICK!! Cover, Bailey wins!

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall

Ricochet is annoyed, but then he storms in to LOW BLOW Bailey!! The fans boo as Ricochet smirks and Bailey falls. Ricochet then locks ‘n’ loads for the SPIRIT GUN! Ricochet takes his leave, but will he get away with cheap shots like that when it’s him, Bailey and Kenny Omega fighting all at once?

 

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander & Thunder Rosa.

Lexy Nair is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and La Mera Mera, and notes that they will be facing each other in the opening round of The Owen Hart Cup. Rosa says for the first time ever, too. Kris says she’s been waiting a long time for this. Rosa says her, too. Unfortunately, the circumstances aren’t quite what Rosa wanted, so she’ll apologize right now. A lot of people depend on Rosa, from her family to her own future in AEW. So nothing personal, but she will take this all the way. Kris says if it’s nothing personal, send Kris’ apologies to Papa Thunder. Because that Owen Hart Cup is coming home to her.

Rosa says first off, don’t talk about her dad. Second, Kris doesn’t know what it is to be THE AEW Women’s World Champion! Oh, does Rosa mean the title she gave up? They argue about what’s coming, and then Rosa shoves Kris! Kris grabs Rosa by the neck, but Rosa SLAPS back! The two get face to face, and Kris says she’ll see her in round one. Kris storms off, could their match determine the whole thing?

 

Mercedes Mone and Harley Cameron warm up backstage.

Mone’s got this. Yes, they’ve got this! No, Mone’s got this. Mini Mone says they’ve got this, and Harley thanks her. Mone tells the puppet to shut up, forgetting it’s really Harley.

Speaking of the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, The CEO is going to face The Princess of the Black Throne in the opening round and it happens at Dynasty! The wild Aussie and the Fallen Goddess meet in the opening round at a later date, so this is all about moment. Will the #MoneyWrathTrain (all Harley’s idea) run right through Peoria? Or will the Hart and Forever Champion Always Win?

The teams sort out but the ref has to keep Athena and Mone from popping off already. The fans cheer on Athena as she starts against Mone, and this could be a preview of things to come. They talk trash, start pushing, and then Mone pie faces Athena! Athena pie faces back, but then Mone dodges her to tag Harley! Mone laughs but the fans boo.

Harley clamps onto the arm, tags Mone, and Mone brings Hart around to scoop. Hart slips free to roll Mone, TWO!

Mone runs up, but into a backslide, TWO! Mone knees low, throws Harty down, then dusts herself off. Athena is upset with the ref, but Mone scoops Hart to put her in the Tree of Woe. Mone stomps a mudhole in, then stops as the ref counts. Mone does her dance, then runs corner to corner. Hart sits up and Mone hits buckles! The fans rally as Hart then hangs upside-down like a bat! Mone is unsettled, but she runs in again. Hart sits back up, flips over Mone and rolls her to an O’Conner! TWO, but Hart dodges to run and tilt-o-whirl! IRON OCTOPUS!

The Fallen Goddess struck fear into the heart of The CEO, and Mone claims she doesn’t care. Mone storms off, but will she soon see how heartless Julia Hart can be? Or will Mone look to add the Queen of Harts Championship to her collection?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision as the go-home to Dynasty, with some good Dynasty hype packages that I skipped. Good go-home stuff here, such as the promos going into the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. Good promo from Hayter and Billie, though it makes me think Hayter doesn’t know Athena has been Billie’s abusive mentor the last two years. And very good promo from Rosa and Kris to really add some heat to their match. And of course, great move with the women’s tag match main eventing, given the star power of Mone and Athena alone. Great win for Hart & Athena, but that would suggest Mone wins at Dynasty.

Great stuff for the Men’s Owen Hart Cup, as well. Konosuke & Kyle VS Hobbs & Ishii was a great opener, and while I figured the Don Callis Family would win, I feel bad that Hobbs has started to drop off again. He’s not in the tournament, and no other matches are being added to Dynasty at this point, so I guess Hobbs just has to wait and see if he’s getting a midcard title match for Double or Nothing. Speaking of, very good promo segment from Garcia and Cole to add some last bit of heat to their match. While Cole told Garcia he “isn’t ready,” and that would suggest Garcia wins to show Cole he is ready, I feel like Cole does still win this because he really needs something to stay afloat.

Caster’s Open Challenge getting the better of him never gets old, and this was a good win for Mark Briscoe going into what will likely be a loss to Kyle Fletcher at Dynasty. If Caster is holding the Open Challenge again so soon, I really hope Bowens answers it. That’d be a great little surprise for Dynasty, as we’ve all been waiting and wondering about Bowens’ return. And it can kick off a proper feud between Caster and Bowens that can go on to Double or Nothing and maybe even All In: Texas. After all, as two of AEW’s top homegrown names, these guys deserve something big to really top off their story together.

Very good promo for Shane Taylor Promotions to call out The Opps, and that can be a great feud to build both teams in the trios division. Good promo with The Cru, though being Heels, they of course spin things as if they weren’t the ones staying away for so long. And good involvement of Nick Wayne again. Very good match of Cru VS Top Flight, and a good combination of Top Flight winning but Cru & Nick Wayne standing tall. That Six Man Tag will be good stuff, and regardless of who wins, this will definitely add to the story of Nick Wayne and Christian Cage.

Very good stuff from Cash VS Pac, and naturally Claudio & Yuta had to get involved. That brought out Cope & Dax, and while Pac steals the match, at least Rated FTR stands together united. At least, for right now. There’s still a big chance that the moment they lose, Rated FTR falls apart and Dax again loses his cool. The question will be if Cash sticks by Dax or by Cope. I feel like FTR needs to stick together so that the AEW Tag Division doesn’t lose a great team. Plus, it would just make sense as it felt like both Dax & Cash were turning given their feud with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Very good promo from Jay White to put Knight over while still putting him, Ospreay, and even the Death Riders on notice. While it is a shame that White will be out for some time because of the busted hand, this could be an opportunity for him to return with the Bang Bang Gang alongside him to stand against The Death Riders. Like, Juice Robinson is still out with his own injury, but The Gunns kinda dropped off the mat after losing to The Hurt Syndicate. I’m pretty sure Austin & Colten still owe Death Riders for some such beatdown over the past year, but they could also just want the trios titles back.

And a great match from Bailey VS Dralistico, even with Mortos and Ricochet hanging around. Great win for Bailey, but Ricochet of course had to attack him just because. Given this math, I would think Kenny Omega retains because Bailey and Ricochet focus more on each other than on him. Kenny may not be what he once was given the diverticulitis taking some of his intestines, but he’s shown to still have the same savvy and grit as before, and so this can be a case where both challengers are underestimating him and they both fail for that reason.

My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with FTR.

Renee Paquette is with Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, and even AEW referee, Paul Turner. Renee says that last Saturday Night Collision, Dax put his hands on AEW officials and has since been fined $10,000. Dax paid the fine, but he asked for Paul to be here. Why is that? Dax says yes, he is about to pay the fine, but he wanted Paul here in front of the world so that Dax could apologize to both him and Cash for his actions. He let his emotions get the better of him, and he got Tony Khan to allow him to personally hand the check over to Paul. In front of the world, here is the $10,000 for Paul personally to use, perhaps take his wife out for a nice dinner or buy something for the family.

Dax again apologizes for how he treated Paul. Paul accepts the apology, and he can understand it all being heat of the moment. This means a lot to him. Of course, Paul, but just don’t cash that in until Friday, wink wink. Dax pats Paul on the back and Paul takes his leave. Renee says things have been rather heated lately, but this Sunday night, Dynasty on PPV, Rated FTR challenges The Death Riders for their AEW World Trios Championships. Are they going to be able to put their issues aside by then? Dax says yes, FTR are brothers, he loves Cash more than almost anyone in this world. The things they’ve done in these 11 years can never be eclipsed by one event.

Dax wants to let Cash know that he apologizes for what he did. It was an emotional moment, and he mistook Cash for a security guard. Just know that he would never, ever do something like that. But on Sunday night, they add to the legacy of FTR by making Rated FTR the NEW AEW World Trios Champions. Dax loves ya, bud. Dax wants to hug Cash, but Cash stops him?! Cash says yes, they are brothers. And on Sunday, they will be fine. But after Sunday, they need to talk. Cash heads out alone, Dax is unsure what to make of that. Dax apologizes to Renee for this, Renee assures him it is okay. But will FTR be fine with tensions running this high?

Just as Timeless Toni was reaching the climax of her speech on last Saturday Night Collision, the Superbad Girl had to interrupt it with a boot to Toni’s face! Penelope & The Megasus got the better of the AEW Women’s World Champion that night, but will Toni pay Penelope back? Or are things only going to get worse before Dynasty’s world title match?

Backstage interview with Swerve, Nana & Willow.

Renee checks in at Willow is being examined by the training staff. Do we have any update on Willow right now? Swerve says Willow is strong, powerful, and brave. That’s why Swerve didn’t mind facing The Death Riders with Willow by her side. When it came to getting in the ring with two of the most dangerous men in AEW, and perhaps all of pro-wrestling, Willow welcomed the challenge. But Moxley, knowing the history of neck issues that Willow has, and Moxley still did what he did… Now he’s on the run. Swerve will not rest until he has his hands on Moxley. Not before Philly, not at Dynasty, but tonight!

Swerve vows that by the end of tonight, Swerve will have his hands on Moxley! Swerve has put The Maniac on notice, will The Death Riders make sure to be scarce for the rest of the show?

 

AEW prepares for All In Week in Texas!

In the lead up to Saturday, July 12th for All In: Texas, Dynamite will hit Garland, Texas on Wednesday, July 9th! Then there’s a special edition Thursday Night Collision on July 10th, also in Garland. ROH Death Before Dishonor is Friday, July 11th, in the Arlington ESports Stadium! Plus, Starrcast Texas will be Friday and Saturday in the Sheraton Arlington Hotel, and the “main event” is of course All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, with a special 3 PM Eastern start time! AEW is truly going all in for All In, what about you?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

Montel Vontavius Porter & Bobby Lashley are here, and Peoria sings along with the song, “We Hurt~ People! We Hurt~ People!” Unfortunately for Shelton Benjamin, weather delayed his flight, he won’t even make the show, but let’s all hope he and everyone else out there stays safe. The All Mighty Lashley goes to speak, but MJF interrupts with his entrance! Maxwell Jacob Friedman struts out here, mic already in hand, and already on Lashley’s bad side. MJF smirks as he steps into the ring, has them cut his music, and the fans cheer him on! MJF says aw shucks, and then he asks the Hurt Syndicate pardons the interruption.

MJF also notes that MVP looks awesome tonight. Can we give it up for MVP? The fans cheer, and wait, there’s a pocket of fans already telling MJF to shut up. Uh, no, MJF’s gonna talk. MJF again says pardon the interruption, but last week, “Bob” disrespected him. But MJF will let that slide because Lashley is friends with MVP, and he doesn’t know MJF like MVP knows MJF. So allow him to formally introduce himself: He is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F. He is a generational talent, and he knows about Lashley all too well. MJF also knows about The Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin.

MJF looks into the camera and tells Shelton that he knows there were some travel issues today. MJF loves you, big man, see you down the road, hope you’re home safe. And c’mon, we all know about Bobby Lashley, right? The fans cheer, and MJF says Lashley’s one of the all-time greats. Lashley’s been around the block, but however, this is AEW. And baby, you’re standing on the block MJF built. Now, MJF knows this place like the back of his hand. He knows how to get to the top, and how to stay on top, for a record-breaking reign. And MJF can help Lashley & Shelton hold onto the tag team titles for as long as their cold hearts damn well please.

MJF says all cards on the table, he knows they can help him, too. They can help him get back what is rightfully his: The AEW World Championship. The fans are torn about that, but MJF says basically, what he’s getting at here is MJF in the Hurt Syndicate is just good business. MVP knows it, MJF knows it, and hell, even the mouth-breathers in the Midwest know it! The fans boo, but MJF says, “Talk to me when Peoria ever matters ever, alright? Let’s pipe down, this isn’t even a real place.” MVP has MJF hold on, and whispers something to him. MJF says that is fair. What MJF is getting at is this: Lashley may not want MJF, but Lashley…

MJF puts his hand on Lashley’s shoulder as he says, “You big, beautiful bastard you, you need MJF.” MJF smiles and says he rests his case. Lashley tells MJF that he’ll be real clear here. Out of respect for MVP, Lashley will NOT leave MJF laying right here, right now. Lashley does NOT like MJF. The fans cheer that! Lashley does NOT trust MJF, and The Hurt Syndicate damn well does NOT need MJF. So unless MJF can prove otherwise, he needs to get out of Lashley’s face right now. MJF asks if they want him to prove himself. Well, okay. He thanks them for their time, and he tells Peoria he wishes he could say the same, but he’s going to leave cuz they stink.

MJF exits the ring, MVP talks with Lashley, and it seems they’re torn. MVP votes one way, Lashley votes another, will Shelton have to be a tiebreaker down the line? But wait, The Learning Tree makes their way out here! Big Bill & Bryan Keith stare down with Lashley & MVP as they cross paths. The Redwood & Bad Apple offer The Hurt Syndicate “front row seats” to stay and watch this. Bill & Keith are still proving themselves worthy of a tag title opportunity, will they make the cut right here and now?

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS ???

The bell rings, and Keith BOOTS ♣ right outta the ring! Bill TOSSES ♪ across the ring, then BOOTS him down! Lashley is amused by this, and Bill hoists ♪ up in a military press! Bill TOSSES ♪ right out of the ring! The poor guy tumbles all the way to Lashley’s feet! The other guy CLUBS Bill, but uh, it does nothing. Well, it does piss Bill off, and the fans tell ♣ he messed up. ♣ apologizes, but Bill CHOKES him! “What’re you doing?! You wanna hit me?!” Bill RAMS ♣ into the corner, then feeds him to Keith’s KNEE! Keith shouts, “Get him, Bill!” Bill makes sure Lashley is watching as he hoists ♣ up, and SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMS! Cover, Bill & Keith win!

Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall

Lashley sarcastically applauds, but Bill grabs a mic to tell the Hurt Syndicate, “On Collision, we whooped Top Flight’s ass. Tonight, we whooped… their ass!” We never really did get their names… Bill says on Sunday in Philly, he and Keith will whoop Hurt Syndicate’s ass! Because they want that match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The fans like the sound of that! Lashley stops MVP from saying something, and gives a thumbs up to Bill? Is that a yes on the match? Guess we’ll have to wait and see what boss man Tony Khan decides.

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee is now with The CEO, and notes that tonight, we saw the Owen Hart Cup brackets. Mone is now set to face the former TBS Champion, Julia Hart, in the opening round this Sunday at Dynasty. Mone says Julia Hart is very mysterious and unpredictable. And although Hart is a former TBS Champion, she’s not the Greatest TBS Champion of All Time now, is she? HAHAHA! It’ll take a lot more than tricks and spells to stop the Money Train. Well before Dynasty, this Saturday Night Collision, we will see Hart teaming with Athena against Mone and- “PEORIA~!” Puppet Mone is back! “Say hello to your C E O!”

Harley is bringing back the ventriloquism to say yes, it’s her. And yes, she knows what Mone is thinking, good to see her, too. And Harley has also been thinking. They really brought the house down Down Under. And hear her out. A new dream team is forming! Mone & Harley, The Train Station Money Wrath Excellence Golden Choo-Choo! What do you think? Mone says chew on this: Harley just needs to stay out of Mone’s way on Collision, got that? GOT THAT?! Y-Yes… Good to see you! Mone leaves and Harley says yes, she has the perfect name now. The Money Wrath Train! CHOO-CHOO, all aboard! But will this one go off the rails thanks to Collision?

Big announcement on that: That very match will take place as part of Sunday’s Dynasty! The fans sure like that! Ospreay and Knight had a good time as teammates, but who will fly the highest when they go 1v1?

 

The Opps speak.

This time, Katsuyori Shibata is on camera as they got a cameraman to join them this time. Samoa Joe smiles and says, “Hey, it’s Samoa Joe here, along with Hook & Shibata, and we’re collectively known as The Opps. And you may be wondering, why did I start this group in the first place? Well quite simply put, I understood that the battlefield was changing, and that the nature of warfare was changing with it. So I knew that when I came back to the battlefield, I needed to bring a different arsenal. And that’s what these men here represent. And as a matter of fact, now that we’ve had a few experimental forays out there into the ring, we’d like to expand our influence in AEW.

“And that’s why come Dynasty in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Opps will be in the building. They will be watching all, and they will be seeing all. And please, please, please… Don’t let us catch you lacking.” Joe leaves it at that, but who will end up easy prey for these three big game hunters?

 

Brody King VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!

While this Hound of Hell is going to face Konosuke Takeshita in the Owen Hart Cup, the Don Callis Family is putting quite the obstacle in his way. If #EverybodyDies, will the King of Death be next? Or will Brody take a bite out of the Murderhawk Monster?

The fans cheer as the ref takes that chair from Claudio!

Claudio says okay, fine, and he lets the ref take the chair. The ref puts the chair aside, and Cope LOW BLOWS Claudio!! That’s what Claudio gets for trying to use the Con-Chair-To! The fans fire up as Cope rises, and Cope takes aim from the corner! Claudio stands, into the SPEAR!! Cover, Cope wins!

Winner: Adam Copeland, by pinfall

It was a vicious battle here on Dynamite, and it’ll certainly be even worse on Dynasty! Can Cope & FTR make things Rated R

 

Backstage interview with Swerve & Nana.

Renee hopes for one last opportunity to ask about Willow’s condition, but it is clear Swerve is still hunting down Moxley. Renee interrupts their argument, but Nana storms off. Swerve tells Renee sorry, all due respect, but he’s looking for Renee’s husband right about now. The camera follows Swerve as he storms off down the hallway. Swerve looks around, but then it’s HANGMAN PAGE who finds Swerve first! The Cowboy shouts at Swerve, “I’ve been looking for your dumbass!” Hangman says Swerve is wasting his time. Security rushes in, looking to keep this from getting physical.

Hangman reminds Swerve that Hangman made a promise. Hangman will NEVER let Swerve be AEW World Champion again, and he’s a man of his word! Swerve tells Hangman needs to let it go and move on to something else already. Hangman says Swerve broke into his house! Swerve says Hangman burned down Swerve’s house! Hangman says Swerve deserved what he got, and Swerve says, “I KNOW!” What?! “I said… I know.” Hangman seems taken aback, then he storms off in the other direction. Swerve made quite the confession there, but he’s back on the prowl. Only for Moxley & Pac to hit him first!

The security tries but now Marina kicks them over! Yuta even joins in as Moxley & Pac mug Swerve! Moxley says he heard Swerve’s looking for him! The Death Riders drag Swerve up, and they THROW him through GLASS!! Moxley says Swerve was looking for him, so congrats, he found him! The Death Riders aren’t done as they drag Swerve out of the glass, and go through a door to walk into the crowd! The fans boo as The Death Riders TOSS Swerve over barriers to be ringside again. Claudio is still here, so now all the Death Riders mug Swerve! The fans boo, but Claudio hauls Swerve into the ring. The Death Riders now surround Swerve.

The fans boo as Pac & Yuta sit Swerve up, and Moxley tells Swerve that he’s going to see who’s the most dangerous one around here. What is that bucket? Yuta dumps out broken glass! Claudio then drags Swerve back up, crosses the arms, RICOLA BOMB onto the glass!! The fans lose their minds while Swerve writhes. Moxley & the Death Riders take their leave, but then Swerve sits up! The glass digs into his back, but Swerve’s eyes stare daggers at Moxley. Moxley is in disbelief as Swerve LAUGHS. The fans rally for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” If not even this can stop him, will The Realest once again reign over the AEW Dynasty?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite as a go-home to Dynasty, though with some questions when it comes to what they’ve set up for the Owen Hart Cup. Why is there a Wild Card in only the Men’s Owen Hart Cup, and why isn’t it considered the replacement for Jay White? I will give them credit that the Wild Card was the plan all along, because no one could’ve accounted for White getting injured. But why wasn’t there a wild card for the Women’s Owen Hart Cup? That aside, both tournaments have great names, and we’re going to get some great matches. Another great promo from Harley with Mone, they’re going to have a very fun match with Athena & Hart.

Toni VS Penelope was a very good match, but it’d be nice if they did the match graphics correctly. Megan didn’t go out there Penelope but Luther did go out there Toni, despite what they put in the lower third. It can’t be that hard to put those together. But Megan just leaving it at a stare down is actually some good stuff, it shows she can think strategically, so she’s even more menacing than just being big and strong. But I still think Toni finds a way to win as the underdog champion. Out of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, I’m leaning towards Thunder Rosa winning so that she can make good on going for the title she never truly lost.

Very good promo segment from MJF with The Hurt Syndicate, and very intriguing how MVP is still trying to plead MJF’s case. Great segue into Bill & Keith showing up and squashing those two guys that we never got the names of. Which I suppose is very fitting for squash matches because it was going to turn out this way no matter what. Lashley & Shelton VS Bill & Keith for Dynasty is going to be great, and I wonder if MJF interferes on Hurt Syndicate’s behalf to help them keep the belts, just as he said. Even if he doesn’t, Bill & Keith will likely lose, so as to disappoint Jericho and start us down the road to Bill standing up against Jericho.

Ospreay & Knight VS Blake & Lee was a great tag match, with Ospreay & Knight naturally winning. Ospreay VS Knight is going to be a great match for the Owen Hart Cup, but I would think Ospreay wins. Ospreay stated his goal of going to All In, and he can’t do that without winning the Owen Hart Cup at Double or Nothing. Brody VS Archer was a great match of big meaty men, and naturally Brody wins so he also has momentum going into the tournament. But here’s an interesting thing. why is Will Hobbs not in the Owen Hart Cup? He’s been running hot as of late, so he better be going for like the TNT or Continental title to make up for missing out.

That said, Hobbs & Ishii surely take the loss to Kyle & Konosuke as the Don Callis Family goes into the Owen Hart Cup. Kyle and Mark Briscoe will battle once again, and I think Kyle wins that so that there’s a chance of Kyle VS Ospreay in the finals. The Wild Card for the match with Hangman is also interesting, perhaps a long awaited return that’ll also give Hangman a great opening round match. Hangman also had a great promo with Swerve, where Swerve actually showed some remorse and took some responsibility for how things went between them.

Good promo from FTR with Dax being very apologetic, and with Cash being somewhat surprisingly unwilling to forgive. Cope VS Claudio was a very good main event, and naturally Cope won. For starters, it ties up the singles series we’re getting, and Cash VS Pac this Saturday will be rather telling for the title match. Swerve & Willow VS Moxley & Marina was an awesome tornado tag match, and kudos on Marina and Willow with that table powerbomb. Moxley really adds some heat hitting Willow with the Paradigm Shift as a sore loser, and then we got quite the brutal closing with Death Riders beating down Swerve.

Swerve still getting up after all that was a great visual, and I would hope he wins the title. It’d be very intriguing to see Swerve and Hangman feud again now that both men are working to be redeem themselves and be Faces.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Toni Storm is here!

Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.

“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”

The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENT on the belt!

The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?

 

The Death Riders speak.

Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.

Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!

Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?

 

Jay White VS Kevin Knight!

The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?

The bell rings and the fans rally. White and Knight circle, and Milwaukee is strongly behind the Switchblade. The two tie up, White waistlocks but Knight drop toeholds. Knight floats to a facelock, floats to a cover, but White slips through to headlock. Knight rolls free and the two stand off. The fans cheer, White and Knight reset, and they knuckle lock. White rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and then wrenches to WRING White! White rolls through and the fans cheer. White shakes out the arm while Knight brushes himself off. They tie up again and are in a deadlock.

They go around, White headlocks, then hits the takeover. Knight headscissors, White shrugs that off, but Knight rolls to a cover. TWO, Knight headscissors again, but White kips free. Knight headlocks, White rolls free, then he hits a headlock takeover again! Knight headscissors, White kips free again, and now Knight headlocks. White powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and White rebounds to run Knight over! But Knight springs right back up! The fans cheer, and now White fires forearms! White runs, Knight hurdles, but then White fakes Knight out! The fans cheer, Knight still arm-drags White around!

Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges White to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Not the smoothest but White is right up to CHOP back! White shakes out the stars, storms up on Knight and CHOPS again! And CHOPS in the corner! The fans fire up while Knight goes to a corner. White storms up, reels Knight in, then suplexes. Knight slips free to UPPERCUT, UPPERCUT, and UPPERCUT again! Knight whips, White grabs ropes, and then White TOSSES Knight to the apron! Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, ROCKS White, then steps in. White grabs a leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Both men are down and the fans rally up!

Knight stands, White CHOPS him to the corner! The fans fire up and White LARIATS! White brings Knight around, suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but White stays calm while Collision goes picture in picture.

White looms over Knight, drags him up, and CHOPS! Knight flops out of the ring! White pursues, but Knight CHOPS! White CHOPS back! Knight CHOPS in return! White CHOPS, Knight CHOPS, and repeat! Knight fires CHOP after CHOP, then he puts White in the ring. White is on Knight with a CHOP! Knight sputters while White catches his breath, and then White covers, TWO! White covers again, TWO! White clamps onto Knight with a chinlock and grinds him down. Knight endures, fights up, and fires body shots. White CHOPS Knight again! Knight sputters and flounders to the corner but White is on him again.

White stands Knight up, CHOPS him, then whips corner to corner hard! Knight slumps down in the corner but White drags him to a cover, TWO! White drags Knight up, puts him in a corner then puts him up top. White CHOPS Knight, climbs up, but Knight fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as White hops down. Knight throws hands, then adjusts position. But White CHOPS Knight down! Knight falls to the apron, tries to hold on, but then slumps down to the floor. Milwaukee is fired up again as White storms out after Knight. White puts Knight in the ring, covers, TWO! White keeps Knight down with a REAR BEARHUG!

The fans rally as Knight fights up and fires body shots. White CHOPS again! Knight drops to a knee, but he shakes his head. Knight stands, but White CHOPS again! Knight again drops to his knees, the fans fire up, and Knight rises! Knight ducks a chop to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Knight ROCKS White, whips him, but White reverses to CHOP! White runs, but into a DROPKICK! Both men are down and the fans fire back up! White and Knight stir, and Knight roars as he rises up! Knight ROCKS White, counter punches, then fires a flurry! White knees low, whips Knight to the corner, but Knight comes back to CLOBBER White!

Knight LARIATS White, whips him, but White reverses. Knight goes up and over, then scoops to SLAM! The fans fire up and Knight UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! White survives and Knight is a bit surprised, but he fireman’s carries. White fights free to CHOP! White whips, Knight leaps over the lariat, then SUPERKICKS! White ends up in a corner, Knight runs in, but White puts him on the apron! Knight ROCKS White first, then springboards, but into the clinch! URE- NO, Knight arm-drags White into a takedown and cover, TWO!! White escapes and Knight is shocked! White clinches, BLADE- NO, Knight slips around and shoves White to a corner!

Knight runs in, White ELBOWS him, then goes up! UPPER ROOM!! Knight throws White down and gets moving, but White ducks a lariat! COMPLETE SHOT, then the waistlock! Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and White drags Knight up. White clinches for the URENAGE! White says time to end it! Clinch and BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall

Knight pushed White in this one, but he still had to Breathe with the Switchblade! White grabs a mic to say, “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight!” The fans cheer, and White says, “Just like myself, Kevin went through the NJPW Dojo. And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?

White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?

 

AEW shares a tweet from Athena.

In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!

 

Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!

#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?

The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches. They go to ropes, Mone bucks the O’Conner, but Robyn comes back with a sunset flip! TWO, and Robyn SHOTGUNS Mone down! Robyn does her own version of Mone’s dance, then drags Mone up. Mone stops a kick to KNEE Robyn away! Mone runs in at the corner, but Robyn dodges and KNEES Mone back!

Robyn runs side to side and BOOTS Mone! The fans are still torn as Robyn puts Mone up top. Robyn climbs up, but Mone shoves her down! Mone leaps, CROSSBODY! But Robyn rolls through! Robyn shows some power as she scoops Mone and pops her around, only for Mone to slip out! Mone gut wrenches Robyn to a CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives and Mone is a bit surprised. Robyn goes to a corner, Mone runs up, and Mone stops the boot to put Robyn in the ropes! Mone jumps up, but Robyn dodges the Stock Drop! Mone grabs at Robyn but Robyn KNEES Mone in the ropes! Robyn then goes up to STOMP Mone down!

The fans rally as Robyn shoves Mone down. Robyn climbs, the fans rally, and Robyn MOONSAULTS, but FLOPS as Mone moves! Mone drags herself up and climbs, to then METEORA! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives again but Mone is right on her! Goery Especial for the MONEY MAKER! And then STATEMENT MAKER! Robyn TAPS, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission

The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.

“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!

Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?

 

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.

Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.

Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?

 

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!

Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?

The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!

Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over. Darius rolls, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down! Keith brings Darius over, tag to Bill, and the fans boo as Bill & Keith mug Darius. Bill drags Darius up but Darius fires body shots! Bill CLUBS Darius down, then puts him in a corner. Bill CHOPS Darius, Darius sputters and the fans fire up. Bill stands Darius up, Darius fires more body shots, but Bill CHOPS again! Bill brings Darius over, tags in Keith, but Darius fires forearms and elbows!

Darius ROCKS Bill, goes up to BOOT, then TORNADO- NO, Bill puts Darius on the apron! Darius ROCKS Bill, but Keith BOOTS Darius! Keith goes out after Darius to CHOP him, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith stands Darius up, CLAWS his eyes, and then CHOPS him again! Darius staggers away, Keith storms after him, and then Keith puts Darius in the ring. Keith pushes Darius to a cover, TWO! Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!

Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!

Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!? But no Darius, so Dante realizes he’s cornered. Bill storms up, Dante BOOTS him away, and Darius returns! Tag to Darius, and Dante runs up. Bill scoops, Dante slips free, and Dante BLASTS Keith while Darius HOTSHOTS Bill! Dante ENZIGIRIS, Darius GAMANGIRIS, and Dante SUPERKICKS! Bill staggers into the step-in COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up while Bill bails out, and Keith runs up! Darius gives Dante the alley-oop, then Dante helps Darius TORNADO DDT Keith!

Dante DIVES and takes out Bill! Darius scoops Keith, SHELL SHOCKE! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives, but Darius tags Dante! Dante goes up, but Bill anchors Dante! Darius WRECKS Bill with a dropkick! But Bill grabs Darius! Bill RAMS Darius into barriers! But Dante SUPER CANNONBALLS Bill! The fans are thunderous, Dante MAMBA SPLASHES, but onto knees! Keith RAMS Dante into a corner, clinches, and hits the EXPLODER! Tag to Bill, and Keith says get ’em! Bill SPLASHES Dante, then feeds him to Keith’s KNEE! Keith KNEES Darius off the apron! Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!

Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall

If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?

Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?

 

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.

Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.

And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?

 

Adam Cole is here!

The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.

When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!

Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!

Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!

Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?

 

Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.

The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.

So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!

Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?

 

Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!

Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?

The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock. Yuta powers Dax to a corner, the ref counts, and both men let go slowly. Yuta KNEES low! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS! Yuta talks trash, whips corner to corner, but Dax reverses.

Yuta comes back, but Dax scoops him to SLAM him! Yuta UP KICKS, then he scoops to SLAM! Dax UP KICKS, both men get up, and Dax headlocks for a takeover! Yuta headscissors, Dax kips free, and roles reverse as now Yuta headlocks for the takeover. Dax keeps his shoulders up, but Yuta grinds the hold. The fans rally for Dax, he fights up, and Dax powers up and out. Yuta runs Dax over, keeps on moving, then he ducks the boot! Dax scoops, Yuta slips free, and Yuta chicken wings! Dax drops down to trip Yuta up, and Dax steps through, only for Yuta to scramble to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Yuta UP KICKS!

Dax snarls as he stomps Yuta down! Dax puts Yuta in a corner to CHOP! Yuta staggers, but he CHOPS in return! Dax CHOPS Yuta off his feet! The fans fire up, Dax UPPERCUTS Yuta, then brings Yuta out for a wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Yuta bails out, and he wants outta here? Dax builds speed to slide, but Yuta ducks it! Yuta sends Dax into the barriers! The fans boo but Yuta then sends Dax into steel steps! Yuta snarls while Dax clutches his arm. There are fans chanting for Yuta?! Yuta puts Dax’s arm on the steps to STOMP it! Yuta then goes to a corner, pulls the covers off the crossbars, and he drags Dax through!

Yuta stands on Dax’s arm to dig it into the crossbar! The ref reprimands, then counts, but Yuta stops at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til FIVE!” The fans are torn as Yuta copies Danielson, then he drags Dax up to the very top. SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee fires up as Collision goes picture in picture.

A standing count starts, but Yuta crawls over to Dax at 4 of 10. Cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed but he drags Dax into a top wristlock. Yuta stands on the arm, then STOMPS it! Dax scrambles away to the corner, but Yuta goes out to grab the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm into the POST! Dax scrambles away again, but Yuta stalks him. Dax CHOPS Yuta, but Yuta takes the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm off the steps, then he flexes while soaking up cheers and jeers. Dax goes into the ring, Yuta goes up top, and Yuta MISSILE DROPKICKS! Yuta kips up, grins, and then takes a bow. Yuta STOMPS the bad arm again, and Dax goes to another corner.

Yuta storms up to CLUB Dax, then he wraps the bad arm around the ropes! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, and then he wrenches Dax into a snapmare. Yuta drops a knee on the elbow! Then Yuta clamps on a cording hold, only for Dax to fight up. Yuta wrenches, but Dax ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS Yuta, then JABS, JABS, JABS, before he DECKS Yuta! Yuta gets up but Dax DECKS him again! Dax LARIATS Yuta up and out, then hurries after him. Dax counter punches Yuta, runs up, but Yuta dodges! Dax runs into the POST! Yuta hurries to THROW Dax over the barriers! The ref reprimands Yuta while Collision returns to single picture.

Yuta returns to the ring, soaks up the heat, then goes back outside. Dax rises, Yuta ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS, Yuta ROCKS, then Dax ROCKS Yuta again and again! Dax DECKS Yuta, then hops up an dover the barrier. Dax reels Yuta in, but Yuta fights the driver! The bad arm also holds Dax back, and then Yuta BACKDROPS free! Yuta hears the ring count, and he puts Dax in at 6 of 10. Yuta storms in, but Dax has his leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Yuta hobbles, Dax grabs the leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Dax drags Yuta to a corner, and now for some payback! Dax SLAMS Yuta’s leg into the POST! Yuta writhes, but Dax grabs the legs again!

Dax shouts out The Hitman with the HANGING FIGURE FOUR! Yuta shouts in pain, the ref reprimands and counts, but Dax lets go at 4. Dax storms in, Yuta wants mercy, but Dax just grabs the leg again. Dax steps through but Yuta BOOTS him into the POST! Yuta hobbles his way over as Dax goes to the apron. Yuta climbs up top, but Dax CLUBS a leg! Yuta sits on the corner, and Dax climbs up! The fans fire up as Dax drags Yuta to the top, for a SUPER BACK SUPLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee is thunderous! Dax crawls to the cover, TWO!! Yuta survives and Dax grows frustrated. Dax grabs the legs, Yuta stops the Sharpshooter!

Yuta drags Dax down, has the arms, CATTLE MUTILATION! But Dax kicks around to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Dax lets go, and Yuta reminds us, he has ’til five! Yuta drags Dax around, chicken wings the arms again, CATTLE- NO, Dax slips free! Dax bobs ‘n’ weaves to DECK Yuta! Yuta rewinds, gets around Dax, GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! But back to the chicken wings! CATTLE MUTILATION! Dax pushes up with his legs, kicks around, and he manages to turn over! Dax fights up to REAR HEADBUTT! Dax trips Yuta, ties up the legs, SHARPSHOOTER! Yuta endures while the fans fire up!

Yuta scrambles around and finds the ROPEBREAK! Dax holds until 4, and then shakes out the bad arm. Yuta talks with the ref, Dax runs up, and Dax HIP TOSSES, but Yuta uses that to arm-drag and SEATBELT!! YUTA WINS!

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall

Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?

Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?

What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.

The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?

 

Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Hologram and Blake circle, approach, and then Blake slips past Hologram to strut. Blake then pie faces Hologram, talks some smack, and things speed up. Hologram RANAS, then hurdles, rolls, and pops Blake up. Blake RANAS back, then kips up! Blake runs up, but Hologram goes up and over. They both handspring, and Blake shadows Hologram. Blake chest bumps Hologram, then wheelbarrows, but Hologram rolls through to then step over, bridge back, but Blake turns that around on Hologram! Hologram keeps Blake away with boots, then rolls him up, ONE! DROPKICKS cancel out, both men kip up, and the fans fire up!

Blake mockingly applauds, but the fans rally behind Hologram. Blake offers a handshake, but then he SLAPS Hologram! The fans boo, Blake talks trash, and then Blake whips. Hologram handsprings, rolls, and SOBATS, KICKS, and CHOPS! The fans fire up as Blake flops back! Hologram builds speed, but Blake is up! Blake TOSSES Hologram out, then he builds speed. But Hologram ducks the slide! Blake runs up, Hologram sends Blake up to the apron! Blake mule kicks, but Hologram avoids the Quebrada! Hologram SUPERKICKS, then he goes to the apron! Blake avoids the leap, Hologram comes back, but Blake sends him into steel steps!

The fans boo while Hologram is down, but Collision goes to picture in picture.

Lee applauds Blake and Blake rolls into the ring. Blake distracts the ref so that Lee can stomp away on Hologram! Big Shotty gets away with that, and Blake waits on Hologram. Hologram rises, Blake builds speed, FOSBURY TOPE! Blake offers high-fives to the fans, but he leaves them all hanging. Blake drags Hologram up, puts him in the ring, then he stomps Hologram. Blake brings Hologram up, and he pulls at the mask! The ref reprimands, but Hologram KICKS Blake from below! Blake storms up to stomp Hologram again! Blake drags Hologram onto the ropes, CHOKES him, but stops as the ref counts.

Blake runs to STRADDLE ATTACK Hologram! Blake drags Hologram back up but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Blake has Hologram down with a motorcycle stretch. Hologram fights up as the fans rally, but Blake spins Hologram to keep the hold. But Hologram flips through, reels Blake in, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Things speed up, and Hologram SHOTGUNS Blake first! Blake bails out, the fans fire up, and Hologram builds speed to DIVE! Lee takes the hit for Blake! The fans fire up, Hologram hurries to find Blake, but Blake kicks low! Blake drags Hologram up onto the barriers?! But Hologram fires body shots! And he RANAS Blake to the floor! Blake narrowly avoids hitting the steel steps and the fans fire up!

Hologram high-fives the front row, then stalks after Blake. Hologram goes up the steel steps, Lee storms up but Hologram mule kicks him! Blake jumps up to SPANISH FLY to the floor! Blake puts Hologram in, then springboards for a 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Hologram survives and Blake is frustrated! Blake slaps Hologram around, eggs him on, and then puts some stank on the- HEEL KICK from Hologram! Hologram fires up, he blocks Blake’s kick, but Blake SUPERKICKS from the other side! Blake whips, Hologram reverses, Blake rolls off the back, and he shoves Hologram to then SNAP POWERSLAM!

Blake somersaults to go to the ropes, LIONSAULT, but he has to bail out! Blake keeps running, Hologram gets him for a SPANISH FLY! Hologram fires up, torture racks Blake, but Blake slips free! Blake SWATS a lariat, ELBOWS Hologram, BODY BLOWS and BACKHANDS! SLING-DOG! Blake fires up, the fans boo, but Blake handsprings, into the torture rack! Airplane spin and PORTAL BOMB!! Cover, HOLOGRAM WINS!

Winner: Hologram, by pinfall

Vanilla Babyface was spicy, but Hologram comes out hotter! Will this 22-0 streak show Hologram is ready for a golden opportunity?

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.

Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.

Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?

 

Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!

Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?

The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!

Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.

Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm! And she SUPERKICKS Hayter down! Hayter staggers up, ducks the heel kick, and she shoves Billie for a SPINEBUSTER! Hayter then turns Billie over, HALF CRAB! Billie endures, reaches out for ropes, but Hayter sits deep on the hold! Billie reaches out, grits her teeth, and Collision returns to single picture.

Hayter tells Billie to just give up, but Billie refuses! The fans rally harder, and Billie powers up! Billie claws and crawls, to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Hayter lets go in frustration. Hayter runs, but Billie DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter swings, Billie ducks it to sweep the legs! SUPERKICK and Hayter goes to the floor! Billie builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Hayter at the ramp! Billie rises, the fans fire up, and Billie drags Hayter up and into the ring. Billie hurries up the corner while Hayter is down, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.

Billie drags Hayter up, reels her in, and suplexes, only for Hayter to slip free! The fans duel while Hayter fireman’s carries, but Billie slips free to throw her down! Hayter gets up, DOUBLE FOREARMS from both women connect! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES connect, too! And then Hater SHOTGUNS Billie into a corner! The fans rally up harder while both women are down! Billie drags herself up with the ropes, Hayter rises at center. Hayter powers up, kisses the bicep, but Billie ducks the lariat to suplex! GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Billie is shocked! Billie seethes, and she storms up on Hayter!

Billie Electric Chair Lifts Hayter, but Hayter fires hands! Hayter shoves Billie away, fireman’s carries, and USHIGOROSHI! Hayter runs, and SLIDING HAYTERADE!! Cover, TWO!! Billie survives and now Hayter is frustrated! Hayter is seeing why Billie is the first and former ROH Women’s TV Champion. Hayter hauls Billie up, but Billie ducks the lariat! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Billie powers up, runs, but Hayter follows to LARIAT at the ropes! Hayter runs, Billie follows, and Billie BOOTS Hayter at the ropes! Billie runs, but Hayter SUPERKICKS! And ENZIGIRIS! Billie winds up, but Hayter gets under! GERMAN SUPLEX!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous while Hayter is beside herself. Hayter grits her teeth and vows to end it! Hayter throws off the armbands, drags Billie up to wind up and- NO, Billie ducks the lariat to cravat and KNEE SMASH, then HEEL KICK! Billie fires up, winds up, but Hayter ducks that shot! Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!

Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall

Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?


My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.

Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.

Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!

Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.

Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.

And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.

Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.

My Score: 8.8/10
