PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

The fans are already fired up as Tony welcomes us to AEW Dynamite in New Orleans! “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me to begin this program, multi-platinum recording artist, entrepreneur, and University of New Orleans’ own ‘Coach P,’ ladies and gentlemen, MASTER P!” The fans fire up again as indeed, THE Master P, the hip hop legend and the owner of House of Glory Wrestling, makes his way to the ring! P says what up New Orleans! It’s AEW Dynamite, UNHHH~! It is his pleasure to introduce to us the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, THE OPPS! “Make ’em say UNHHH~!”

The fans cheer even more as Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata and “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs make their way out, wearing those University of New Orleans Pirates colors! Samoa Joe gets himself a mic to say, “Lemme try that one one time. Make ’em say UNHHH~!” “UNHHH~!” “Nana nana!” Master P says it is about to get rowdy rowdy, ’bout it ’bout it! Joe says yes, sir! It is good to be here tonight! Because you see, The Opps have come to celebrate. The fans like the sound of that! Joe says before that, props to big brother Master P. Joe thanks P for the introductions, and for everything he does for this great city. Joe appreciates it, he knows the people appreciate.

Joe says BigBlueUNO.com, see what P is doing for the student athletes here. Master P says there’s always love for the student athletes. Master P is Coach P, there’s nothing but love for this city. Joe says that’s a good thing, because they love New Orleans, too. When they thought about the best city to celebrate a championship win, it’s right here in New Orleans! But wait, the Death Riders are here to ruin the fun. Well, Marina Shafir comes out from the back, but Wheeler Yuta rushes in from the ramp! He CLOBBERS Shibata, Claudio CLOBBERS Hobbs, and Moxley uses the briefcase to CLOBBER Joe! The fans boo and Master P can’t believe it!

Claudio drags Hobbs out, Yuta keeps after Shibata, and then Hobbs is sent into steel steps! Moxley CHOKES Joe, Marina is there to hold Joe down, and then Moxley stomps Joe! The fans boo but Master P stands his ground! The fans cheer on the coach but this is still a 3v1 situation. Moxley steps to Master P, and then Master P chuckles…? Because JOE IS BACK UP! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH on Moxley! Shibata and Hobbs drag Yuta & Claudio from the ring to fire in return! Master P even gets some shots on Mox! The fans fire up as the tables have turned on the Death Riders! P laughs as Moxley goes out, again!

Master P says this is New Orleans, right? They want all the smoke! This about to be a problem. Go ahead, put ’em to sleep! But wait, The Elite rushes out here! And Matthew Jackson has a chair! He SMACKS Joe down to free Moxley! Master P hurries out of there now, there’s a lot more going on. The fans boo as the Death Riders turn the tables back around. The Bucks say you’re welcome, Moxley. But then Marina steps in and keeps Moxley from retaliating, And then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE! The fans fire up as now the Realest is on the scene! Joe gets back up again, The Elite retreat now that things are getting complicated.

But then Kenny Omega makes his way out here! And The Cleaner has a chair of his own! The Elite scurry after where The Death Riders made their exit! The fans fire up as AEW International Champion stands with the World Trios Champions and the Most Dangerous Man in AEW. Then these five look to each other, and Joe grabs the mic again. “In respect to whose house it is, nice to see you again, brother. I will say this: JON MOXLEY! You wanted me, now you have me. I’m gonna beat your ass, choke you out, and ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be taking back my AEW World Championship.” The mission statement has been issued, but will all part of “Team AEW V3” be okay with that?

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Renee Paquette is with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna, and the youngest ever singles champion in ROH or AEW history, the NEW ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. A huge congratulations to Nick, but Christian says actually, the congratulations should all go to him. He even takes the belt from Nick! Christian says Nick would agree that if not for The Patriarch, Nick would not be standing here the champion. Because Christian is the one who forced Nick to step out of his shell, find himself, spread his wings and truly become what it is Christian’s always known Nick to be, and that’s The Prodigy.

Christian still says they’re all proud of Nick. They all celebrated. In fact, Christian and Shayna celebrated Nick’s victory extensively, later that night. Nick scowls but Christian says, “Do you see what happens, Nick, when you listen? When you shut your mouth, you open your ears, and you actually listen to me?! Good things happen, and I always tell the truth, don’t I?” Nick asks Christian if he sees what happens when you actually stick to the plan: You actually win championships. Nick tries to take his belt back, but Christian holds onto it. Christian then willingly gives it over, and says, “I love my family.”

Christian storms off, and neither Kip nor Shayna is really sure what to make of this. Is there about to be a new head of the household now that Nick’s standing up for himself?

Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe!

The One & Only is brushing off the losses that have plagued him in hopes of reaching his goal of gold in AEW. However, will he #ReachForTheSky against the Sussex County Chicken? Or can Ricochet #ManUp against the former ROH World Heavyweight Champion?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, the fans taunt Ricochet with, “OH~ Ricochet’s Bald~!” Ricochet is annoyed, and he goes out to bond with the fan in the front row who is also bald! He claims everyone else is making fun of this guy, too! In fact, isn’t Mark bald? Why aren’t people talking Mark for being bald?! The fans chant, “You Aren’t Mark! You Aren’t Mark!” The two tie up, Ricochet powers Mark back, but Mark turns things around to corner Ricochet. The ref has Mark back off and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Mark reset, feel things out, but Ricochet goes to the ropes for defense.

The fans boo but Mark waits on Ricochet. Ricochet and Mark circle, feel things out, but again Ricochet is in a corner. The ref backs Mark off, and then Ricochet runs up! But Mark blocks a shot to fire hands in return! Mark keeps Ricochet from escaping to ROCK him again! And again! Mark whips, Ricochet reverses, and Ricochet drops down, hurdles over, but Mark follows to ROCK him with a forearm! Mark kicks low, then runs, and he BOOTS Ricochet!

Knight then checks on Mark. Mark is alright, and the fans cheer. We even see Rock ‘n’ Roll Express here! They cheer on Mark, will Mark soon be headed for new title opportunities?

Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.

He welcomes us back to the show, but just as he’s about to begrudgingly welcome out FTR, he is interrupted by Stokely Hathaway! Big Stoke says there has been a change of plans, and he’s got this now. “They are living legends. Top guys! TEN TIME World Tag Team Champions! New Orleans, give it up for F T R!” The fans boo, but the music hits and Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler make their way out, walking with Stokely to the ring. FTR shake hands with Schiavone, and Stokely reintroduces himself. He will address the elephant in the room. FTR were suspended and fined for accidentally hitting someone, and simply touching Tony Schiavone?

That is interesting to Stokely, because there are other people who have literally set people on fire. Hangman Page has committed arson! Ricochet decides to come to work and shanks people with scissors! And should we even list all of Moxley’s crimes? Stokely will. Acts of terrorism, kidnapping, extortion, and all to FTR, yet he walks around here unpunished. That is unjust! But do not worry, that’s why Stokely is here. Stokely says that suspension will be expunged from their permanent records. Those fines will be reimbursed, based on the very public, ugly, and nasty way this has all played out.

Moving forward, if you wanna have a conversation with the Top Guys, you need to have a conversation with Stokely. As of today, Stokely Hathaway is the new agent for the greatest tag team today, F T R! Now, Schiavone, do your job. Schiavone thanks Stokely, and then holds the mic for FTR. Cash says beautiful work from Stokely. But what happened last week with Daniel Garcia was not an easy decision for them. But “Danny” gave them no choice when he made his own decision. The fans boo, Cash says please be polite, he is talking. Don’t forget, it was 2Point0 that got in FTR’s face! It was 2Point0 that came at FTR! It was 2Point0 that wanted a fight!

And from where FTR is from, when you want a fight, you better be ready to fight. And well, 2Point0 wasn’t ready for that fight. Cash has respect for Danny, though. When he asked them to stop, FTR stopped. Danny is FTR’s friend. But then he goes and treats them like that? Don’t forget, Danny, you came to them for help. When every other veteran here left him high and dry and directionless, it was FTR that got Danny to the TNT Championship. FTR put Danny first, they put Cope first, they put AEW first, and that got FTR nothing but disrespect! NO MORE! FTR first from now on! And you’re gonna boo them for that?!

The fans do indeed boo, but Dax steps in. What’s with the hostility? Relax. Speaking of living legends, there are a couple legends in the house right now! Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are here! Dax invites Ricky & Robert to the ring to share the spotlight. Ricky & Robert stand up, the fans cheer, and Dax says c’mon now, we’ve got TV time ticking. Watch your step, we don’t want anyone falling. Rock ‘n’ Roll Express do indeed step into the ring with FTR, Stokely & Schiavone, and Dax tells the fans that if they didn’t cheer FTR, no need to cheer Rock ‘n’ Roll. The fans boo but Dax says one of the greatest teams of all time, Rock ‘n’ Roll Express!

Ricky & Robert have had some of the greatest matches with some of the greatest teams. Which do they feel is their greatest match of all time? Before Ricky or Robert can answer, Dax says it would have to be Philadelphia with the Midnight Express. And to be honest, no shade, but Midnight Express was better. The fans boo, Dax says no, hold on, tonight is going to be about Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. 40 YEARS of Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, they’re still going strong. How old are they? And again, Dax interrupts by saying that he’d have to say just on looks alone, he’d go with 109. And being 109 means they were running hard in the 80s, if you know what he means.

What would they say was their greatest experience in the 80s? Ricky stops Dax from interrupting this time! The fans cheer and Ricky says no more of this. Don’t try and embarrass Ricky & Robert in front of the wrestling world. Stokely steps in and says there doesn’t need to be hostility. This is kinda ironic, but Stokely has something. He has Dax hold his mic, and then he brings out the brand new FTR merch shirt! FTR: Living Legend Killers. This one’s for Ricky. Stokely throws the shirt at Ricky, and then FTR attacks! The fans boo as Cash DECKS Robert, and then Dax reels Ricky in! Cash goes up, MIND BREAKER!!

But here comes The Paragon! FTR runs from Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly! The Top Guys stoop to new lows, but will The Paragon make sure FTR get the worst of it?

The Young Bucks VS Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey!

We saw Matthew & Nicholas Jackson earlier tonight try and again ingratiate themselves to the Death Riders, only to be reminded they have many more enemies than friends. But this match is really only because The Jet & Speedball went a little overboard with their celebration last week, what with the $400,000 and The Opps winning the World Trios Championships. Will The Bucks be a couple of buzzkills? Or will they still throw a Superkick Party?

The teams sort out and Matt starts against Bailey. The fans cheer as the two circle. Bailey trips Matt, things speed up, and Matt stays low. Mike handsprings, then bypasses Matt to drop down and hurdle over! Matt leaps over, but Bailey ducks a kick! Matt ducks a kick, and then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS hook each other! The fans fire up as the two hop around, but Nick runs in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Knight storms in but Nick kicks and CLUBS him down! The fans boo the Bucks, but they bring their opponents up. The Bucks double whip, but Knight & Bailey duck ‘n’ dodge, only for The Bucks to DOUBLE BACK ELBOW!

The Bucks double kip up and soak up the heat as they hit their classic pose. But then Knight & Bailey are up! They spin The Bucks around, Bailey SOBATS Nick but Matt ROCKS Knight! Matt throat chops Bailey! Matt whips Knight, but Bailey gives him the boost for the CROSSBODY! Then they TOSS Matt out onto Nick! The fans fire up as Knight & Bailey say #2Fly! DOUBLE PLANCHAS take down The Bucks! The fans fire up and high-five with Knight. Knight & Bailey put Matt in, they DOUBLE CHOP, then they double whip. Matt grabs ropes, Knight runs up but Matt TOSSES him! Matt ELBOWS Bailey away, and then Nick PENALTY KICKS Knight!

Bailey runs up, but into Nick’s GAMANGIRI! Matt wheelbarrows Bailey and Nick slingshots in, WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER COMBO! Then Nick cartwheels and MOONSAULTS onto Knight! Nick soaks up the heat, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The Bucks soak up the heat while Matt paces around Bailey. Matt stomps Bailey to the corner, Nick CLUBS Knight, and then Matt bumps Bailey off buckles. Tag to Nick, and they put Bailey in the ropes for the DRAPING SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Bailey stays in this, and we see Knight returning to the corner. Nick runs to KNEE Bailey in the back! Nick stays between Bailey and Knight while mockingly holding out Bailey’s hand to Knight. Nick then gets in Knight’s face, and the ref has to keep Knight from rushing after Nick! Nick claps to fake the tag, and Matt runs up to stomp Bailey down! Matt CHOKES Bailey, all while the ref argues with Knight!

Matt stops choking Bailey to then drag him back to the corner. Tag to Nick, and The Bucks CATAPULT GAMANGIRI, and then DOUBLE STOMP BACKBREAKER! Nick taunts Knight more, then drags Bailey to a cover, TWO! Bailey is still in this but Nick stays on him with buckle bumps. Nick then scrapes Bailey’s face against the ropes! Nick stops to soak up the heat, and then he drags Bailey into a facelock. Bailey endures, fights up, and fires body shots! Bailey runs, but Nick WHEEL KICKS him down! Cover, TWO! Nick drags Bailey back into a facelock and he grinds Bailey down. The fans rally, Bailey fights up, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

Knight coaches Bailey up, but Nick suplexes! Bailey cradle counters, TWO! Nick runs up, but into a ROUNDHOUSE! Both men are down, Bailey and Nick crawl, hot tag to Matt! Nick then BLASTS Knight, and the fans boo while Matt brushes him off dismissively. The Bucks drag Bailey up, double whip, but Bailey handsprings! The Bucks get clear, but Bailey dodges their double lariat to BOOT Matt! Bailey dodges Nick to fire LIGHTNING KICKS! ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up as Bailey crawls! Nick also goes for the corner, hot tags to Matt and Knight! Knight dodges Matt to BLAST Nick! And then Knight rallies on Matt!

Knight whips, Matt reverses, but Knight goes up and over, comes back and LARIATS! The fans fire up with Knight, and he runs in at the corner! STRINGER SPLASH! Whip and LARIAT in the corner! Then a whip, but Matt wrenches. Knight dodges Matt to pop him up and SLAM! UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Knight waits on Matt, then somersaults for a DD- NO, Matt turns satellite DDT into NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Polar Express gets going as Matt NORTHERN LIGHTS again! Bailey runs up, but he just gets added to a DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS! The fans boo but Nick cheers Matt on. Matt runs up, and he blocks Bailey’s boots!

Matt puts Bailey in the ropes, Nick GAMANGIRIS, and then Matt SUPERKICKS Knight! Nick goes out, Matt drags Knight out along the ropes. Nick is up, DRAPING DOUBLE STOMP BOMB for Knight, and Nick somersaults through to DRAPING BACKSTABBER Bailey! Cover on Knight, TWO!! Knight survives and Matt mockingly applauds. Matt says that’s good stuff. The fans rally and Knight rises, but Matt smiles. Matt brings Knight up, but Knight JAWBREAKERS free! Hot tag to Bailey! But Matt fakes him out to DDT! Matt soaks up the heat, tags Nick, and Nick soaks up the heat. “Who wants to see a Superkick Partaaay~?!”

The fans are torn as Nick aims, but Bailey blocks the superkick! Bailey spins Nick around to SUPERKICK him! Matt SUPERKICKS Bailey! Knight SUPERKICKS Matt! Nick SUPERKICKS Knight! Bailey runs up, Nick dodges, but then Bailey dodges! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES take them down! Matt and Knight both kip up, but they DOUBLE LARIAT each other down!! Nick and Bailey kip back up, Nick goes Matrix to avoid Bailey’s kick! But Bailey spins to hook Nick’s kick, only for DOUBLE ROLLING ROUNDHOUSES to take them both down!! The fans are electric for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” giving them this tag match!

The teams crawl for their corners, Bailey tags Knight. Knight storms up on Nick, but Nick ROCKS him with a forearm! And another! Knight roars, but Nick ROUNDHOUSES! Nick runs, but Knight DROPKICKS right through him! Bailey gets in and he Electric Chair Lifts Nick! Knight says Time2- NO, Matt intercepts Knight’s flight with an Electric Chair Lift of his own! But now it’s a chicken fight! The fans are going nuts as Knight throws hands on Nick, only for Matt to CLAW at Bailey’s face! The two back up, Bailey puts Nick on the top rope and Knight fights free of Matt. Knight shoves Matt and Bailey bypasses him, Matt runs into Nick’s Johnson!

Knight says Nick goes to the UPPER ROOM! Then Bailey hoists Nick up again, and Knight DORPKICKS him into the POWER BREAKER!! Cover, MATT BREAKS IT! The fans are torn, but Bailey DROPKICKS Matt!

Backstage interview with Toni Storm.

Renee is now with the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, as well as butler Luther, and notes that tonight, it is Kris Statlander VS Jamie Hayter in the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament Semifinals. Renee also notes that Toni has been watching everyone in this tournament very closely. Toni says, “And why shouldn’t I? These are the preeminent individuals in our entire industry. So ladies, good luck. Pound your flesh, rip your tits, but don’t you dare get any blood on my pearls. And remember: You are now watching your feature presentation.” Renee says speaking of feature presentations, this weekend in Hollywood, Toni will be on the red carpet for the TCM Film Festival.

Toni says yes, some new little science fiction film. Renee says it’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Toni says there’s not an empire big enough to strike her back. But remember, she is a lover and a fighter. She isn’t just going to spend this weekend cucking around with Ben Mankiewicz! She has an idea! Toni grabs her title and stands up on top of a chair. “Attention, slop tarts! This Saturday on Collision, I’m going to have a Championship Eliminator Performance! So if there’s any b*tch that has the itch-” Oh, Queen Aminata steps up immediately. She says she’s back, and you know she likes to fight. So, let’s do this.

Toni says, “No, no, darling. It’s… Let’s make cinema!” Toni has Luther carry her away, but will Playoff Palooza end up an underdog sports story?

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

New Orleans fires up and sings along, “We Hurt~ People!” as Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin make their way to the ring. MVP holds up a fan’s sign that says, “WE HURT PEOPLE,” then he grabs a mic. “Attention, AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. On behalf of the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, and the All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, we are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” The fans cheer that! MVP says in fact, they’re so good at that, that every single tag team they’ve faced for these AEW World Tag Team Championships haven’t been back!

MVP says they’re all home healing up. Then the Gates of Agony stepped up, and they said they like to be hurt? That’s a silly thing to say to two of the most dangerous men on the planet! But they obliged, and they hurt those two. You will not be seeing The Gates of Agony in the near future. But perhaps you will see them eventually, because Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are hungry young lions and they will return. Now is just not their time. This time right now, MVP will hand the mic over to Lashley, because he has a few things he’d like to say. The fans cheer that! MVP passes the mic to Lashley, but then an engine starts revving.

MVP sighs as we see a fancy sports car pull into the parking lot. And out steps none other than Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF tells a guy to keep it running for him, then nut taps him on the way out! MJF laughs at his own prank, and even says, “What a do*che.” MJF heads to gorilla, and that means he makes his entrance! Lashley smirks because of course MJF is making his way out here. MJF has a mic to say cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on, and MJF tells the Hurt Syndicate, “Gentlemen, I know… Hell, we all know you had a good time last week, okay? And if you guys wanna have a good time for the rest of your lives, all I need are three thumbs up. That’s it.”

MJF waits, and MVP says okay, let’s try this one more time. MVP says we know how he feels, he is still thumbs up. The fans cheer for “THREE THUMBS UP! THREE THUMBS UP!” Shelton is no longer intimidated by Lashley, and he gives the thumbs up! MJF is excited, but Shelton denies him the hug. Shelton tells MJF that to make this real clear, this isn’t a thumbs up because of “a bunch of broads and a watch.” The only reason Shelton gave MJF a thumbs up is because of MVP, so don’t forget that. MJF says of course! He loves Montel! We ALL love Montel, right? The fans cheer! MJF says, “We also love our good friend, Bob!”

The fans cheer for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” and MJF says c’mon, let’s see it. Lashley holds out his hand, but MJF says hold on, hold on, he has a feeling he knows where Lashley is going with this. So please, give him one more second. MJF knows Lashley has his reservations, but if he’s in the Syndicate, then they’ll get all the money, the power, the respect, and the gold! Lashley brings a lot to the table, but with all due respect, there are things MJF brings to the table that Lashley does not. MJF knows AEW better than anybody. MJF knows how to cut corners better than anybody! And he knows how to win by any means necessary better than anybody.

If they let MJF in, they don’t just run AEW, they run professional wrestling! MVP says that’s a good point. MJF says he knows they got off on the wrong foot, but really, that’s not MJF’s fault. But, but, but…! MJF is willing to admit as Salt of the Earth, he’s been a bit prickly over the rejections. So MJF wants Lashley to know, from the bottom of his heart, two words he’s never said before… “I’m sor…” MJF trails off and the fans chant, “Say You’re Sorry!” MJF says he is, okay? Shut up! “Bob…! I’m sorry!” MJF gets it out and the fans cheer! MJF catches his breath and then Lashley holds up his hand. MJF panics and says before Lashley puts the thumb down…!

Did Lashley see the car he drove here in? Did they like that car? If Lashley gives a thumbs up, that car is his! MVP says that’s another good offer. Lashley chuckles and says he needs the keys. Of course! But they’re in the back, so we gotta take a walk. Okay, let’s go take a walk. MJF says we’re taking a walk! The fans cheer as MJF leads the way back to the parking lot. MJF tells the fans they’re as tough to look at as they’ve been lovely, so thank you. But will the keys to that incredible car be the key to MJF joining the Hurt Syndicate?

MJF and the Hurt Syndicate arrive in the parking lot.

MJF has the valet hand the keys back, and MJF has them look at this beauty. Talk about horsepower! It is gorgeous! Lashley takes the keys, steps into the driver’s seat, and Shelton joins him at shotgun. MJF asks for a thumbs up, but Lashley just drives away! Thumbs… DOWN?!? MJF just got tricked! MVP has MJF calm down and says you gotta give the people what they want. MJF grits his teeth as he tells Lashley to have fun with the car… But if it isn’t gifts that will win The All Mighty over, what must MJF give him?

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee is with the once again Anxious Millennial Cowboy, and she notes that was a huge victory for Hangman in the Owen Hart Tournament. Hangman beat the wild card, Josh Alexander, and is now set to face Kyle Fletcher next week in the semifinals held in Norfolk, Virginia. Kyle viciously attacked last week, so how is- “The MOMENT that I see Kyle Fletcher, I am going to put his ass in the ground! And it looks like somebody wants to get in here, so get your ass in here.” MJF steps in and says, “Howdy, Cowboy. How you been? You look great. By the way, I wanted to compliment you on your new haircut. I love that it makes it look like you met your wife at a family reunion.”

Hangman says MJF hasn’t changed anything about himself since he was 12 years old. But Hangman is in the middle of an interview, so unless MJF has something of substance to add, he should just get in his car and- Oh…! Right, we just saw what happened there. MJF sarcastically laughs that off, and says it’s “Joke Man” Adam Page. Here’s a joke for him: Guy enters the Owen Hart Tournament, only to then watch MJF stroll on in through the backdoor with the Hurt Syndicate to reclaim what is rightfully his and become a TWO-TIME AEW World Champion. Hangman says like MJF knows anything about the backdoor.

MJF’s whole plan is to use Hurt Syndicate, but how does that get him an inch closer to the world title? But maybe after Hangman beat MJF’s ass at Revolution, MJF had to figure something out because he knows he can’t win matches, and he knows he can’t hang with Hangman. MJF says wow, first of all, of course Hangman doesn’t understand his intentions with The Hurt Syndicate, Hangman’s an idiot. Second of all, Hangman wants to act high and might because he beat MJF, well check the math, they’re 1-1. If they ever do face off again, MJF sends Seabiscuit to the glue factory where he belongs.

And third of all, the personal favorite for MJF: Hangman thinks he’s a badass for being in the Owen Hart Cup? Hangman is a great wrestler, MJF will not take that away from him. But if Hangman does manage to get to the finals, he’ll just do what he does best, and that’s choke. MJF leaves, Hangman shouts he has something for MJF to choke on! Dumbass! Hangman storms off, but will he make it through the semifinals? Or will the Aussie Arrow make sure Hangman can’t go Double or Nothing?

Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis Family VS Will Ospreay & Brody King!

Speaking of the Owen Hart Cup, the Walking Weapon lost to The Cowboy, and the Alpha lost to the Aerial Assassin in their epic semifinal showdown. But now the Don Callis Family is hoping to change the odds at Double or Nothing using brute force! Will Alexander & Takeshita make the Family proud? Or will the #BillyGOAT and King of Death be a truly killer combo?

The teams sort out and Ospreay starts against Takeshita to start where they left off from last time! The fans fire up as the two circle, and Callis of course joins commentary. Ospreay and Konosuke feel things out, only for Alexander to CLOBBER Ospreay from behind! Konosuke BLASTS Brody off the apron, the ref reprimands, but the Don Callis Family mug Ospreay. They double whip, DOUBLE ELBOW, then stand Ospreay up for DOUBLE BACK SUPLEXES! They shake hands, and then DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Takeshita flexes, then he drags Ospreay up.

And CHOPS! And then he stands on Alexander’s neck! Ospreay asks for a tag, Brody chops him as a tag! Ospreay says okay, thanks… Ospreay steps in, Alexander JABS but Ospreay CHOPS!

Ospreay whips, Alexander grabs the ropes, but Ospreay runs up, only for Alexander to put him on the apron. Ospreay ROCKS Alexander, takes aim, but Konosuke anchors Ospreay’s legs! Konosuke sits Ospreay down and Alexander CROSSBODIES! The fans boo but Callis and Lance Archer like what they see, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Callis whispers something to Konosuke before Konosuke rolls into the ring. Alexander looms over Ospreay, holds him up, and Konosuke distracts the ref, allowing Callis to get a cheap shot in! Callis is giddy as he goes back to commentary. Alexander then storms in and he stomps Ospreay around. Alexander stalks Ospreay, CHOPS him, then Konosuke CHOKES Ospreay in the corner! The ref reprimands, but Alexander scoops and SLAMS Osprey! Tag to Konosuke and he goes up to SUPER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Konosuke drags Ospreay up, reels him in, and Ospreay endures the COBRA TWIST! The ref checks on Ospreay, but that lets Konosuke link up with Alexander!

The ref looks and sees what they’re up to, so Alexander lets go. Konosuke scoops Ospreay for a BACKBREAKER! Tag to Alexander, he stalks Ospreay, and he steps on Ospreay’s foot to keep him from Brody. Alexander then stomps the ankle! Alexander grabs a leg, twists Ospreay’s ankle, then he JAMS the leg up! Ospreay hobbles away, but he still CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Alexander dropkicks the bad leg! Ospreay falls in a heap, and Alexander fishhooks him into sitting up! Alexander CLUBS Ospreay in the chest, soaks up the heat, and then he stalks Ospreay to ropes. Konosuke is there to CHOKE Ospreay again!

The ref reprimands, Konosuke stops, and Alexander argues with the ref. Konosuke HOTSHOTS Ospreay! Ospreay staggers away, the ref keeps Brody back, and Alexander drags Ospreay up to UPPERCUT! Ospreay staggers to a corner, Alexander UPPERCUTS him again! Ospreay falls, Alexander clamps on a chinlock! Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally up. Ospreay fights up to fire body shots, then he reaches out to Brody. The fans rally, Alexander holds Ospreay back, but Ospreay fires a forearm! Ospreay still reaches out, but Alexander still holds on! Ospreay fires another forearm, and another, but Alexander ducks the shot!

Alexander waistlocks but Ospreay fights the lift. Ospreay backs Alexander down but Konosuke tags in. Konosuke taunts Brody, then runs up, but Ospreay BOOTS him! Ospreay ELBOWS Alexander, then ROCKS Konosuke, and repeat! The fans rally, but Konosuke kicks low. Konosuke & Alexander double whip, but Ospreay handsprings to DOUBLE PELE! The fans fire up and Ospreay crawls, hot tag to Brody! Brody BOOTS Konosuke, then LARIATS Alexander! Brody SPLASHES Konosuke in a corner, then he BACKDROPS Alexander! Brody storms up on Konosuke, whips, but Konosuke reverses and kicks low.

The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” while Konosuke runs, ducks ‘n ‘dodges, but the SOUTHPAW LARIAT finds him! The fans fire up while Konosuke bails out. Brody roars, and builds speed!? Brody DIVES and takes out Alexander & Konosuke! The fans fire up as Brody then drags them both up, brings them around the way, and makes them sit in the same chair. Alexander is on Konosuke’s lap, and Brody CHOPS Alexander! Seems like Konosuke still felt the force of it through Alexander. Brody gets space, and New Orleans barks along. Brody runs back in, and he CROSSBODIES them against the barriers!

Brody puts Konosuke in the ring, then runs corner to corner to LARIAT! Ospreay tags in and Brody fireman’s carries! DOUBLE STOMP into a DEATH VALLEY BACKBREAKER! Cover, Alexander breaks it in time! Brody TOSSES Alexander, but Alexander drags him out! Brody runs up, but he’s sent into the steel steps! Ospreay lines up a shot, but Konosuke reels him in! Ospreay fights Blue Thunder with elbows, then he ROCKS Konosuke with forearm after forearm! But an ALPHA ELBOW hits back! Konosuke runs, but into the TIGER WALL KICK! ENZIGIRI! Ospreay whips Konosuke, Konosuke reverses, but Ospreay handsprings again, but into BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous as Ospreay survives! Konosuke and Ospreay are both down, and a standing count begins. Archer coaches Alexander while Ospreay and Konosuke crawl. New Orleans tells off Callis himself, but we get hot tags to Alexander and Brody! Alexander BOOTS Brody, BOOTS him again, then he blocks a chop to wrench, KICK, ROCK, and reel Brody in! But Brody’s too much to lift! Brody wrenches out, takes a swing, but Alexander dodges. Brody SWATS a lariat, CHOPS and ROLLING ELBOWS, then he LARIATS point blank! Cover, TWO!! Alexander survives but Brody just snarls. The fans bark it up as Brody storms around.

Brody runs corner to corner, CANNONBALL! Cover, but Archer distracts the ref! Brody is furious, and he BLASTS Archer off the apron! But an ALPHA ELBOW finds him! Ospreay runs up, Konosuke dodges, kicks and whips, but Ospreay dodges to DIVE onto Archer!

Winners: Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall

Give a few assists to Don Callis and Lance Archer, but the family that cheats together wins together! And then they beat up on Brody just because! Ospreay slides in, he fires off on Konosuke, but Alexander is after him! Now Ospreay is getting mugged, and they feed Ospreay to Archer’s CHOKE SLAM!! Archer scares the ref off, and here comes Kyle Fletcher! The Protostar always loves seeing his former friend get beat up, and he joins the Don Callis Family in the ring.

Jamie is already getting annoyed as she stands back up. The two stare down, then they both throw forearms! And the both BOOT! And then they both SHOULDER TACKLE! They both fall, and then they both kip up! The fans cheer as these two see they’re very much the other’s equal.

Kris and Jamie dust themselves off, then Kris goes to run, only for Jamie to reel her in by her tights! Jamie waistlocks and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Kris goes to a corner, Jamie runs up, METEORA!

Jamie bumps Kris off buckles, stomps her, then whips. Kris reverses, wrenches, ROCKS, and then runs to go up the corner! Jamie catches Kris first! Kris uses that to wheelbarrow Jamie into buckles!

Jamie says no no no, that’s gonna be hers. These two are just one month away from going Double or Nothing, who wins it all in Arizona?

My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, with strong build in all the stories that they’ve got going right now. Great opening segment with Schiavone bringing out Master P, Master P bringing out The Opps, and then all that causing The Death Riders to show up. Good brawl there, and that was fun having Master P laugh at Moxley being choked out. But then good move having The Elite show up, that works for the story of The Elite still trying to join forces with The Death Riders. But then Swerve and Omega showing up was also good. With the news that Moxley VS Joe is now for Beach Break, I am very certain we’re getting Stadium Stampede/Anarchy in the Arena for Double or Nothing. Seeing The Opps, Omega & Swerve together, that’s just a natural Team AEW for this time around.

Similarly, very good promo stuff with Schiavone inviting out FTR. I’m a little surprised Stokely Hathaway is back as FTR’s manager, but at least he’s getting to do something. Very good promo from FTR, Passive Aggressive Dax is pretty funny. And then FTR turning on Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, that was wild. The Paragon showing up was good stuff, and we’ll get a great match of FTR VS Roddy & Kyle. Also, I guess it really is official, Cole-Roddy-Kyle are The Paragon, and “The Kingdom” returns to just being Taven & Bennett. And while prerecorded so that they can play it between NBA games on Saturday, Playoff Palooza looks like a lot of fun.

Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe was a great match that wasn’t quite so outta-nowhere, given last week’s big money 8 Man Tag. Good win for Mark, but of course Ricochet attacked him. Kevin Knight making the save was good, and it helped give us the finish to Knight’s tag match against The Bucks. That tag match was bordering on PPV quality, but it makes sense Ricochet would cheat Knight as payback. Knight VS Ricochet definitely needs to happen next week before Knight has to go back to Japan for Best of the Super Juniors. And in the meantime, perhaps Ricochet and Bailey can feud as a holdover until Knight gets back in the Summer.

Great promo from MVP to put over the Gates of Agony, and great stuff with MJF and the Hurt Syndicate. I could just tell Lashley was gonna get the better of MJF with that car deal. This is definitely going to boil down to how Lashley might actually want a world title shot, making the whole thing of MJF joining a moot point. Great promo between MJF and Hangman, one of them will definitely cost the other something, and it is definitely more likely MJF costs Hangman against Kyle or Ospreay in the tournament. Another great tag match tonight with Ospreay & Brody VS Konosuke & Alexander.

The Don Callis Family of course cheated to get their win, and also great beatdown stuff after. Hangman wanting after Kyle was good stuff, and with the Don Callis Family standing tall, there’s a very big chance that it ends up Ospreay VS Hangman for Double or Nothing. For one, as I just said, MJF can cost Hangman. Also, we’ve gotten plenty of Ospreay VS Fletcher lately, we can give them time before they fight again. Great promo from Toni to issue an open challenge and have it immediately answered by Aminata. Maybe they’re doing this now that they went and changed the ROH PPV schedule, and that kinda screws up when and where Aminata VS Deeb was going to happen…

Then great main event of Kris VS Jamie. I am legit surprised it was Jamie winning to face Mone, I really thought Kris was going to make that push to the top. Mone VS Jamie will still be awesome, and it’d still be great to see Toni VS Jamie again after all this time, but it still feels like Toni VS Mone ends up the All In match, even though I still argue we should be getting Mone VS Athena so that Athena can be on the big PPV in her hometown. Though, I guess if Supercard of Honor is going to be in Texas, that’s supposed to make things up to The Fallen Goddess when she deserves the bigger stage.

My Score: 8.9/10
