PLAY BY PLAY

Toni Storm arrives backstage.

The AEW Women’s World Champion sees the camera and tells Mercedes Mone through it, “You want me at All In? Well you got me! And tonight, you have a front row seat to my match right here in Denver. So bring a snack, and enjoy the elevation, for I am the next mountain you must climb. Until then, my tits will be tipped up and I am ready to tango!” Toni will team with Mina Shirakawa against Julia Hart & Sky Blue, will Fyter Fest be TIMELESS?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

He welcomes us to this FOUR HOUR Fyter Fest, and says let’s kick it off by welcoming out the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay! Denver fires up for Ospreay as he goes to the ring. Ospreay shakes hands with Schiavone, and Schiavone says last week after Dynamite, something occurred between him and Swerve. Footage plays of Ospreay confronting Swerve over this dream team drama and Swerve not wanting to work with Hangman Page when the bigger threat to AEW is the Death Riders. The confrontation turned physical and the two had to be separated. Schiavone points out Ospreay shouting, “Same team!” and how rough that got.

Ospreay says it is embarrassing. He never wants to fight Swerve like that, they’ve been friends for 12 years now. Now, it is not the brightest idea to try and get Swerve and Hangman on the same page, as they actually hate one another. But Ospreay just feels they’re not the enemy here. The enemy is Jon Moxley. The fans cheer that! Ospreay can’t help but think, if they could all put their differences aside for one night, one bloody night, they could retrieve the belt, and then kill each other! The fans also cheer that!

Ospreay brings up how Jon Moxley has said on TV, Moxley hates what AEW has become. Here’s an idea: piss off then! Because people like Ospreay, Hangman, Swerve, Toni Storm, Kenny Omega, they are why AEW has momentum again! The only reason AEW “sucks” right now is because Moxley is world champion! The fans cheer that, and they chant for Ospreay. Ospreay says he has given Hangman his word and his word means something. Ospreay will play a part in making sure that world title comes back. Last week, Ospreay asked Swerve, “Who’s the bigger threat? Hangman or the Death Riders?”

Ospreay is starting to wonder… Is Swerve a threat, as well? Hangman doesn’t want to see Swerve as champion, Swerve doesn’t want to see Hangman as champion. Ospreay can’t let that happen. So if Ospreay has to be the one to stop Swerve… Fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Ospreay tells them that if he doesn’t step in, Swerve ain’t got a house! But here is what happens. Ospreay wants Swerve to listen and listen clearly. Ospreay loves Swerve as a brother. Ospreay would take a bullet for Swerve. But before that, Ospreay would take a bullet for AEW! So next week, Summer Blockbuster, Ospreay is calling Swerve out! Ospreay VS Swerve 2!

And wait, what is CRU doing coming out here? Lio Rush & Action Andretti have mics, and Ospreay is confused. Action asks, “What’s wrong, Denver? You ain’t happy to see us?” The fans boo to show that they aren’t. Action tells “Mr. Bruv,” that this pow-wow he has with “Tommy Schiavone” is cute and all. The fans tell Action to STFU but Lio & Action laugh that off. Action tells Denver and all of Colorado to do them a favor and shut your mouths! Lio takes over by saying, “Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay! A true Brit! Ey, I love it, man, I do. It’s clear that these people love it, too. But listen, man. If there’s one thing that I know about Brits is that they like to talk a lot.

“And you out here doin ga lot of yappin’. Ey, Denver, we just got off a 14 hour flight from Japan, and my boy right here, Action, he chillin’ tonight. But me? I got a little bit of pent up anger and a point to prove. Because I personally think that the worst thing about AEW… is your dumbass!” The fans boo Lio and Ospreay says Lio has pent up anger, huh? Well, Ospreay would love to get that anger out. Tonight, we’re sold out, baby! The fans cheer that! Ospreay has his “fake tan” on, and his “crime fighting pants” upstairs! Anyone wanna see an Ospreay match tonight? The fans all cheer that! In that case, tonight for the Collision portion of this evening, Ospreay VS Lio is on!

The fans cheer again, and Ospreay reminds Swerve, “See you next week, sunshine!” The Aerial Assassin is ready, will he make the Man of the Hour a quick workout before visiting Swerve’s House in Portland?

Mark Briscoe VS Jon Moxley w/ The Death Riders!

The Sussex County Chicken admits he got caught last time, but he won’t let his children think he’s a quitter. You win some and you lose some, but you never quit! So now, Briscoe wants after something bigger than the win, the loss, or the title! Will the Maniac be ready to #ManUp for Fyter Fest?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for “Briscoe! Briscoe!” The two circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Moxley digs his heels in but Briscoe turns it around. They go along the ropes, the ref counts, and Briscoe slowly lets off. The fans cheer, but then Moxley bails out and the fans boo. Moxley taunts Denver, goes to the apron, but Briscoe UPPERCUTS him down! Briscoe goes out to ROCK Mox, CHOP him, and then follows him again for another UPPERCUT! Briscoe has Mox against railing to rain down fists! The fans count to TEN and fire up! Moxley staggers away, Briscoe slides in, and then Moxley dodges to kick, CHOP, and ROCK Moxley!

Moxley kicks low, ROCKS Briscoe, then ROCKS him again. Moxley CHOPS Briscoe, the fans boo, but Moxley whips corner to corner. Briscoe goes up to FLYING FOREARM! Briscoe hops on for a SLEEPER!

Moxley CLAWS Briscoe’s face, the ref counts, and Moxley stops at 4. Moxley puts Briscoe through ropes while the fans chant, “Moxley Sucks!”

Moxley grinds Briscoe’s face with a forearm, then he stands on Briscoe’s back! Moxley CHOKES Briscoe like that, but he steps off as the ref counts 4. Moxley whips Briscoe corner to corner, LARIATS, then whips the other way. Briscoe goes up and out to SWAT a lariat! Briscoe RAMS Moxley, and the fans fire up as Briscoe DUMPS him out! Briscoe runs and WRECKS Moxley with a dropkick! The fans fire up but then Wheeler Yuta barks at Briscoe. Briscoe stomps Yuta’s hand! Briscoe runs, CANNONBALL FLOPS as Moxley dodges! Moxley steps into the ring to flex, and Marina distracts the ref so Yuta can POST Briscoe!

The fans boo but the Death Riders continue to get away with it all! The fans chant, “Yuta Sucks! Yuta Sucks!” Moxley goes outside, and we see Briscoe is busted open! Moxley wrenches Briscoe’s arm, drags him to sit in a chair, and Moxley rains down fists! The fans boo as Moxley goes after that forehead wound! The Maniac shows off the blood on his arm while Fyter Fest goes picture in picture.

Briscoe sputters and Yuta mockingly applauds. Doc Sampson checks Briscoe but Briscoe rises up. Briscoe fires forearms on Moxley over and over, but Moxley BITES the bloody forehead wound! Moxley ROCKS Briscoe, refreshes the ring count at 9, then puts Briscoe back in the ring. Moxley stalks Briscoe to a corner, digs his boots in, then drags Briscoe up to put in another corner. Moxley rains down fists again, and he goes past TEN, then CLAWS Briscoe’s forehead and eyes! The ref counts, Fyter Fest returns to single picture, and Moxley BITES Briscoe! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Moxley just brings Briscoe around.

Moxley whips and BACKDROPS Briscoe! Briscoe writhes, Moxley covers, TWO! Briscoe is tougher than that! The fans fire up as Briscoe rises, and he CHOPS, CHOPS, and fires a forearm! But Moxley fires shots in return! Moxley whips and BACKDROPS, but Briscoe flips through to land on his feet! Briscoe then REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And he CHOPS, UPPERCUTS, and CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! But Moxley shoots around, only for Briscoe to PELE! Moxley tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Briscoe builds speed! Briscoe DIVES! Down goes Moxley, right in front of commentary! Denver is thunderous as Briscoe stands on the desk!

Briscoe hurries to put Moxley in the ring and runs for a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Moxley is also tougher than that, but Briscoe has the fans with him. Briscoe storms up on Moxley, eggs him on, and the forearms start flying! The fans boo Moxley and cheer Briscoe as they keep going again and again! Briscoe gets the edge, then ROCKS Moxley! But Moxley kicks and fires back! Kick, forearm, repeat! Moxley then whips, but Briscoe reverses to CHOP! And CHOP! Briscoe whips, Moxley reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS!

Briscoe fights up, pushes off a corner and has a cover, TWO?!?! Moxley escapes, and he still has the sleeper! Moxley has a back mount and he smothers Briscoe! The fans boo and blame the ref, but Briscoe is OUT! Moxley wins!!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission

Another showdown, another referee stoppage, because Briscoe doesn’t quit! Even 3v1 with The Problem & The Decoder ringside, Briscoe pushed Moxley. But will anyone take that AEW World Championship from “The One True King” when he always has his pawns with him?

Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!

Denver is torn as The CEO, the 2025 Women’s Owen Hart Cup Champion, and the #1 contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion, heads for commentary. She’s ready to watch Toni Storm up close and personal, but will she be able to only watch the match?

Fyter Fest returns, and Mone says she has a table for one! The AEW ring crew brings her a table, as well as a steak dinner with wine! The privileges of being The CEO, it seems.

Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa VS Julia Hart & Skye Blue!

Timeless Toni & #MinaNow are reunited, but so are the Princess of the Black Throne and the Chicago Skye. Which pair of besties will best the other?

Skye brings Mina out to bump off buckles, then brings her in for a NECKBREAKER! Fyter Fest returns to single picture as Skye covers, TWO! Mina toughs it out but Skye tags Julia in.

The Toni Classic Move ruins Mone’s appetite. But trying to belittle Toni as dinner theater backfires, Toni takes Mone’s steak and EATS IT! Will Toni derail the Money Train and taste sweet victory in Texas? Or will The CEO serve up bitter defeat and once again become #FourBeltsMone?

Backstage interview with Will Ospreay.

Lexy Nair is with the Aerial Assassin and brings up his match with Lio Rush for later tonight. It is also official: Ospreay VS Swerve for the Summer Blockbuster! But before Ospreay can say anything about it, MJF interrupts. The Scumbag says hi to “Billy Boy” and Ospreay asks what Max wants. MJF says it isn’t what he wants so much as it is what Ospreay needs to understand. MJF is here to help! Ospreay needs to stay out of Swerve’s business with The Cowboy. If Ospreay takes Swerve out when Swerve would take out Hangman, then Hangman’s chances of winning the world title drastically improve.

And to make matters worse, if Ospreay actually manages to unite them, well then… That makes Hangman a shoe-in to win that world title. And last MJF checked, maybe Ospreay forgot after getting knocked out, but Ospreay can’t beat Hangman. If Hangman wins the world title, Ospreay never will. Swerve and Hangman, they’re animals. And what do you do with animals? You let them eat each other. Ospreay “thanks” MJF for that advice, does he have any more? Because Ospreay has a match to get ready for. But of course MJF is only thinking about himself in this. Ospreay is thinking about AEW. Ospreay understands what MJF is really doing, too.

MJF doesn’t want Hangman to win the AEW World Championship because MJF stands no chance of beating Hangman, even on MJF’s best day. See you later, mate. But MJF asks how Ospreay’s son, Harry, is doing. Ospreay grabs MJF by his sleazy neck, but MVP steps in. And with MVP come Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin. Ospreay backs off, MVP has MJF settle down, and MVP says the Hurt Syndicate has business elsewhere tonight. But good luck in your match, Will. The Hurt Syndicate heads out, but Lashley makes sure to fix Ospreay’s shirt for him. Will Ospreay be able to focus after MJF pushed his buttons?

The Hurt Syndicate heads to the ring!

Denver fires up as MVP, MJF, Shelton Benjamin, and their hometown hero, Bobby Lashley, all enter together, unified after the big win at Double or Nothing. The fans chant for “Bobby! Bobby!” and even “Shelton! Shelton!” but then they boo MJF! MVP has the mic to say, “Attention AEW viewing audience: this is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Now before I go any further, I would like to address my brother, Roberto… You used to live in the Mile High City.” The fans cheer that! MVP says he has to ask: Now that Lashley lives in Texas, what is his opinion of Denver?

Lashley holds up his hand and gives a thumbs… DOWN! The fans boo but MVP says that’s classic! That is why The All Mighty left Colorado! But to business, this is AEW, where the best wrestle! And MVP stands with the greatest tag team to ever exist in the history of this sport! You could put together a dream team then, now, from this company, from another company, from the UNIVERSE, and they couldn’t take the titles from the waists of these two MEGA stars! So MVP must ask: If this is where the best wrestle, where are the best tag teams to challenge the champions?! Why is everyone so absolutely terrified of the Standard of Excellence & The All Mighty?

They’re in your imaginations, because they don’t exist! There is no one, and MVP will say that again, there is no one capable of beating these two for the titles! And with that business done, MVP wants the fans to show respect to the young genius that is Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF thanks Montel for that, and says he’d appreciate silence while he speaks. So rude. But as these “dumb shmucks” already know, MJF wants gold, just like his best friends have! So he wants back the AEW World Championship. Which means like all the marks in the back, MJF will have to wrestle more. He’ll get over it.

But that means MJF is aiming for Mexico. The fans chant for MJF to shut up but MVP tells them to respect MJF! MJF tells fans he is not going to shut up so just stop it. Now apparently, the countrymen of Mexico believe their top guy is Mistico. Mistico’s country believes Mistico is the best int he world. But that can’t be true, because MJF is the best. The best wrestler in the world doesn’t hail from Mexico. He hails from the only country that’s worth a damn, the United States of America! Now, Mistico, when MJF stepped foot in Mistico’s quaint little country, MJF sold out little Arena Mexico! Facts! In fact, MJF is the youngest foreigner to ever do so.

And do the fans know why MJF was able to do that? It is because unlike all of these poorers, he is a MEGA STAR! Don’t believe him? Happy Gilmore 2 comes out July 25th! Now, Mistico might think he is a lucha libre legend, but what MJF thinks is that he is just a big fish in a small, stinky pond. But hey, MJF is feeling philanthropic! Not that any of this morons watching know what that word means. Just google it. But next week, MJF will watch Mistico’s match for Summer Blockbuster. And if MJF feels Mistico is worthy, then maybe MJF will let Mistico wrestle him at Grand Slam: Mexico. Because when it comes to the Hurt Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business!

The fans are torn, but wait! Here comes “Speedball” Mike Bailey and his team for tonight, Komander & Kevin Knight! They want their trios match already, but Komander also has a mic. MVP says look! It’s White Sho Nuff, Bruce Leroy and the Blue Power Ranger! What’s going on here? MJF asks what they want! Komander tells MJF that he disrespected Mistico, he disrespected lucha libre, and that means he disrespected Komander! But just so you know, MJF, everything that came out of your mouth is utter trash! Do not insult lucha libre, cabron! MJF may not understand that but he knows it wasn’t nice.

The fans rally for lucha, but now Bailey takes the mic to tell MJF off in German! But Bailey says if the Hurt Syndicate wants the best, then standing before them is a trio of international killers! MVP laughs, but Knight says hey, whoa. MJF may not be cultured, unseasoned, and he might not understand what Komander & Bailey said, but Knight will keep it short and simple for his stupid ass: Hurt Syndicate, they could get it popping tonight in the Mile High City! MVP says wait, they want a match tonight with the Hurt Syndicate? They want it here? That’s what they want?! The fans cheer, so MVP says, “Absolutely not. You guys haven’t earned it.”

The Hurt Syndicate exit the ring and MVP says if they’d like an opportunity to stand against the tag team champions, impress them by earning it. The fans tell the Syndicate that they are cowards, and then La Faccion Ingobernable makes their way out! El Toro Blanco and Lashley lock eyes for just a moment. Will Komander & #JetSpeed impress the champs? Or will it be LFI that goes for the AEW World Tag Team Championships?

Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Komander, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey!

The trios sort out, and we start with Rush and Knight. Knight runs up, Rush dodges and HEADBUTTS! Bailey jumps in and BOOTS Rush! Mortos WHEEL KICKS Bailey! Komander DROPKICKS Mortos! Dralistico DREAMCAST KICKS Komander! They all go outside, they brawl, and the fans fire up as Rush sends Knight into railing and Dralistico sends Komander into the desk! Rush grabs a bottle, but Knight ducks so that water goes splashing elsewhere! Knight CHOPS Rush, Rush SLAPS Knight! Mortos has Bailey but Bailey fires CHOPS! Dralistico SMACKS Komander off barriers, Rush SMACKS Knight off the desk!

Bailey CHOPS away on Mortos, Dralistico POSTS Komander, Bailey fires LIGHTNING KICKS and the ENZIGIRI! Mortos staggers away, Rush SMACKS Knight off the desk again, then sends him into railing! Rush wants his green cable but Bailey snatches it! Bailey ROCKS Rush, Rush DECKS Bailey! Rush SAMCKS Knight off the desk again, puts him in the ring, and Dralistico whips Komander. Komander reverses and Dralistico hits barriers! Rush has Knight on the apron but Knight slingshots in and arm-drags Rush away! Bailey is in and he CHOPS Rush in the corner! Knight LARIATS! Komander gets a boost to DROPKICK Rush down low!

The fans fire up and Knight covers, TWO! Rush is tougher than that, but Knight drags Rush up. Tag to Bailey, he CHOPS Rush! Bailey KICKS away on Rush, the fans duel, and Bailey snapmares Rush for a basement DROPKICK! The fans rally, Bailey drags Rush up, and Bailey KICKS Rush against ropes! Bailey whips, Rush reverses, and Mortos gets a cheap shot in! Bailey ROCKS Mortos for that, KICKS Dralistico for good measure, but Rush DECKS Bailey! Mortos y Dralistico BLAST Knight & Komander! The ref reprimands but Mortos whips Bailey to a corner for a SPLASH! Dralistico adds a SPLASH! Rush adds a SPLASH!

They snapmare Bailey for a TRIPLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! The fans fire up while Bailey sputters. Rush y Dralistico stand Bailey up, and Dralistico CHOPS! Rush CHOPS! Rush feeds Bailey to Mortos, he trophy lifts, and LFI help! They carry Bailey around to then SUPER LAWN DART him onto Knight & Komander! Denver is thunderous as LFI raise the fist, and Fyter Fest goes picture in picture.

Komander, Knight & Bailey stir, Rush goes out to stomp Bailey and stand him up. Rush ROCKS Bailey, puts him in the ring, then gest on the desk to fire Denver up more. Mortos stomps away on Bailey! The ref reprimands, Mortos backs off, and Rush kicks Bailey around. Rush drags Bailey up to CLUB and BODY SHOT! Tag to Mortos, he CLUBS Bailey down, then he drag Bailey back up. Mortos snapmares for the NECK TWIST! Cover, ONE! Bailey toughs it out but Mortos clamps on with a chinlock. Mortos traps the arms so he can fishhook Bailey’s mouth! The ref counts, Mortos stops, and he tags Dralistico.

Mortos hits the BACKSTABBER, Dralistico goes up to add a DOUBLE STOMP! Mortos then runs to FLYING FOREARM! Cover, Knight breaks it! Mortos snarls and he stalks Bailey to ropes. LFI CHOKES Bailey on those ropes, but they stop as the ref counts.

Mortos argues with the ref, but Rush just CHOKES Bailey more! Fyter Fest returns to single picture and the fans rally. Mortos drags Bailey up, tags Dralistico, and they double whip.

Then he uses Mortos to go up and FLYING DDT Dralistico! Komander tilt-o-whirls on Mortos, DEJA VU into a POISON RANA!

An epic battle with LFI and an epic victory, does this earn Knight & Bailey a chance at the Hurt Syndicate? MVP does lead the group back on stage and says give it up for these guys! It is impressive, given how JetSpeed was getting their asses kicked for about 10 minutes. But they had the temerity to pull that win off and that counts for a lot. But y’know what?

Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Paragon.

Alicia Atout is with Red Death as he stands beside Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly. Cole asked for this time, so the floor is his. Cole appreciates Garcia for meeting them, and knows they’ve had their differences. But Cole would like to think there is also a mutual respect. More importantly, they can’t stand the Don Callis Family. Cole got an idea: Later tonight, the four of them take on any four Don Callis Family members, and together, Garcia & Paragon can teach them a lesson. What does he say? Garcia says yes, there is respect here. But there are a lot of things Garcia wants. Right now, getting his hands on the Callis Family is number one. See you out there.

They all fist bump and Garcia heads out. Will Garcia help Cole, Roddy & Kyle humble Callis and his pack of jackals? Or are they more like lambs to the slaughter?

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Lexy Nair is now with Christian Cage, “Mother” Shayna, and Nick Wayne. She welcomes them back to Fyter Fest, and notes Nick Wayne’s tremendous showing in his first Best of the Super Juniors tournament. Christian says first thing’s first, Denver, he realizes the thin air up here cuts off the oxygen to their brains, so it gives a great excuse for them all to not be intelligent. But even they have to be smart enough to know that when The Patriarch appears, you sit down and shut your mouths while he conducts his business!

But Lexy is right, Nick had a great showing in NJPW BOSJ. But he didn’t win the tournament. Nick did have a grueling schedule of 14 matches in 22 days. But those are no excuse. Right, Nick? That kind of schedule would’ve earned anyone else a night off. But Nick is not just anybody! Nick is the (adopted) son of Christian Cage! Nick is the ROH World Television Champion! And tonight, they will keep this momentum going. Nick defends his title here tonight in Denver! Nick says great. Christian did this to him before he left, and it was light work for him. Well, Nick didn’t let Christian finish.

The stakes are a bit higher tonight. Not only will Nick be defending that title, it will be in a Fatal 4 Way! Now, Shayna, let’s go find a place to lie down- Oh, uh, well, no, they should actually watch this one. But don’t worry, Nick, Kip’s also got an even bigger surprise for you. What could that mean? And can The Prodigy prove himself once again by overcoming the odds?

The fans boo, but Caster hands the paper over and even adds a pen. The ref is confused as to why, and Caster says surely all the Maximaniacs here in the Mile High City wanna do one thing and one thing only, and that’s chant his name! Caster says here goes!

“Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans seem to go along with it, and Caster says he’ll be honest, that was still bad. He takes his documentation back from the ref and says tonight is the return of the five minute open challenge! Put five minutes on the clock! DUN DUN, it’s up! Now let’s see who can survive five with the Best Wrestler Alive! The fans cheer as POWERHOUSE HOBBS is here! Caster freaks out as now he must face one-third of The Opps!

“That’s correct. You people at home will have the pleasure of viewing four hours of AEW because tonight is Fyter Fest. That means a lot of talent will be competing tonight, that means there will be a lot of talent that I have my eye on. But no no no no, I will not be competing tonight. No way, not in this crappy town. However, throughout the entire night, you will see me watching, you will see me looking, you will see me searching for people who have all the attributes and everything that I am looking for. People who will follow, who will serve, and who will do everything that I say to make sure that my quest for gold becomes a reality.

“People who will give everything they’ve got to continue to show that Ricochet is Outta This World. AHA~!” Ricochet is looking for his own crew, but will the One & Only stay the One & Only?

And last week, Hangman made all of the fans a promise. Tonight, Hangman makes another: “I will never need, nor will I ever accept, help from Swerve Strickland.” The fans are torn on that, but Hangman says he will ride into Texas, he will defeat Moxley, he will take that briefcase, he will take the AEW World Championship, hold it above his head for all of us, because All In is the night for all of the fans!

And if I recall correctly, they are the winningest tag team in AEW history! Which means out of all the tag teams, they have won the most. So it doesn’t matter what company you’re from, what country you’re from, everybody, whether you like it or not, everyone falls to F T R!” Dax takes the mic to add, “Excuse me a second. The greatest tag team of all time is trying to speak!”

The fans continue to boo, Cash again shouts, “He is talking!” Dax tells Denver that they had their chance. Now they don’t get to hear him talk! #TopGuysOut! The fans actually cheer that! But will the winningest tag team grab up gold again sooner rather than later?

Six Man Tag: Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher & Hechicero w/ Don Callis VS Bandido & The Outrunners!

#ProtoShita take out Los Outrunners, just like Don Callis wanted! But will the family sweep the night with their 8 Man Tag later tonight? Or will Daniel Garcia & The Paragon be undisputed?

Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne speak.

The Superbad Girl tells Anna Jay, “You saw what happened to your little friend, Harley. You should’ve just bowed down.” Wait, cameras pan down, and they have Anna right here! The Megasus drags Anna up by her hair, brings her around to gorilla, and they go out to the stage! The fans boo but Megan has Anna at her mercy! Fireman’s carry, but Ford says wait! They should do it off the stage! Megan nods and goes to the edge, but TAY MELO IS BACK! The fans fire up as the Brazilian Blackbelt is back and she SMACKS Ford with a kendo stick! Then she taunts Megan! Security rushes out here to stop these two from getting any more violent!

Denver shouts, “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Anna watches as her best friend wants after her greatest enemy, will Tay & Jay be the combo that brings down this female titan?

Backstage interview with Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn.

Lexy is now with the 5 Tool Player & Daddy Ass, and knows they asked for this time, so she asks what is on their minds. Bowens says he has two very special announcements. Firstly, June is officially the Pride of Pro-Wrestling Month! Isn’t that great? Billy loves it! And second, Bowens feels they should have a month full of big, spectacular moments! Billy says yes, they should bring joy! Bowens says there is a certain specific person who knows all about big moments, a man who has reinvented himself and turned himself into a Protostar. So Bowens thinks that it’d be a fantastic idea for next week, Summer Blockbuster, Bowens whips Kyle’s ass all over Portland!

What does Lexy think about that? Lexy is a bit surprised Bowens asked her, as is Billy, and she says she loves it! Bowens tells Kyle to get ready to get his ass beat by the 5 Tool Player! Five tools, one rule: Prove them wrong! But will Bowens’ combination of power, athleticism, skill, the look and the It Factor bring down the Aussie Arrow?

Ricochet heads to ringside.

The One & Only did say he would be watching all night, but he wants to watch this next part with his own eyes.

ROH World Television Championship Fatal 4 Way: Nick Wayne VS Sammy Guevara VS AR Fox VS Lee Johnson!

The Prodigy’s condescending “father,” Christian Cage, put him into this situation as his passive aggressive way of saying Nick should’ve done better in the Best of the Super Juniors. The Spanish God, the Whole Fox’n Show and Big Shotty all want that gold, but will Nick defy the odds? Or will he continue to “disappoint” the Patriarch?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the Face of ROH TV!

The bell rings, the Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick and Lee each kick Sammy and Fox low! They whip but Sammy and Fox each reverse to TOSS Nick and Lee out! The fans rally behind Fox and even Sammy applauds. Fox and Sammy circle, shake hands, but Sammy stops the cutter! Sammy CUTTERS but Fox handstands through!

Lee jumps in, builds speed, and he FLIES! Direct hit on Sammy and the fans fire up! Fox is on the apron, he SUPERKICKS Lee! Fox goes up the corner, TIGER WALL MOONSAULT! The fans fire up as Fox puts Lee in and Denver rallies for him. But then Vanilla Baby Blake CANNONBALLS onto Fox! The fans boo as Big Shotty gets help, and Fyter Fest goes picture in picture.

Lee has Fox in a corner and he CHOPS! And then CHOPS again! Lee whips corner to corner, runs in and LARIATS! Then he snapmares for a slide and BASEMENT FOREARM! Cover, TWO! Fox toughs it out and goes to the ropes, but Lee CHOKES him! The ref reprimands but Lee stops when he wants to. Lee scuffs Fox on the apron, scuffs him again and again, then brings him up and in for a DRAPING DDT! Big Shotty strikes like a viper, and he talks trash on Fox. Fox stands to put Lee in the corner and stomp away! Fox climbs up to rain down fists! Fox goes way past TEN, but Lee trips him up before hitting 20! Lee CHOPS Fox down in the corner!

Sammy is back and he CHOPS Lee! And CHOPS again! Lee kicks low, suplexes high and hard, then covers, only for Nick to break it! Nick TOSSES Lee, drags Sammy up, and Nick ROCKS Sammy! Nick stomps Sammy at the ropes, stalks him to a corner, then stomps away! Christian seems torn while Nick digs his boots in. Nick lets off to soak up heat, then he drags Sammy back up. Nick whips Sammy to then KNEE him at the ropes! Nick shakes his head and whips Sammy again, to KNEE Sammy again! Nick drags Sammy around while Fyter Fest returns to single picture. Sammy runs kitchen sink into roll-up, TWO!

Sammy stands, Nick kicks low, and then Nick runs, but into a JUMP KNEE! Sammy and Nick fall and the fans fire up! The fans rally, Sammy crawls to a corner, and Nick rises up. Nick runs in but Sammy dodges! Sammy RAMS Nick, GAMANGIRIS from the apron, then slingshots in, but Nick make sit a backslide! TWO, and Sammy ducks a roundhouse to KNEE again! Torture rack and GO TO HOSPITAL!! Cover, Lee breaks it! Lee wags his finger, Ricochet says that was a smart move, and Lee brings Sammy up. Sammy shoves free to SUPERKICK! Sammy reels Lee in, torture racks, but Lee CLAWS Sammy’s eyes!

Lee is free, he fireman’s carries, and he hits a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY on Sammy! PENALTY KICK! STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Sammy stays in this and Ricochet admits that was great. The fans chant, “Christian’s Balding!” while Lee drags Sammy in. But Fox ENZIGIRIS Lee! The fans fire up as Fox then runs in at Lee in the corner, but Lee ENZIGIRIS back! And SUPERKICKS! But Fox goes Matrix to PELE, only for Lee to duck it! But Nick has Lee for a SNAP DRAGON! Nick and Fox stare down and the fans fire up! Nick BOOTS Fox, Fox fires a forearm, and they fire off! Nick kicks low, runs, but Fox hits a THESZ PRESS!

Fox rains down fast hands and Ricochet is annoyed. Nick gets free, but Fox BOOTS him! Fox reels Nick in, suplexes, ANARCHY! Nick tumbles away while the fans fire up! Lee is back in and Fox runs up. Fox blocks boots, puts Lee in the ropes and CLUBS him! Fox slingshots up and around to DRAPING DESTROYER!! Ricochet says that ain’t right. Fox then goes up the corner to SUPER SWANTON onto everyone else!! The fans are thunderous and losing their mind while Fox puts Nick in the ring. Fox goes up, up, and SWANTON BOMBS onto knees! Nick ROUNDHOUSES Fox, then hooks Fox up for the PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, Nick wins!!

Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

Ricochet says he can’t even be mad! Nick is truly wise beyond his years to be so crafty and come out on top. Christian reluctantly brings the belt into the ring, but he holds it up as if he retained it. Nick walks over, and Christian puts the belt on Nick’s shoulder. Christian hugs it out with Nick, but will the tension within the family come to a head soon enough?

Thekla VS Lady Frost!

The Toxic Spider, the Venom of Vienna, the Idol Killer, made quite the reputation for herself in Japan via Stardom, but she also got herself FIRED from there after physically assaulting the promotion’s president! Then she shows up in AEW to suddenly attack Jamie Hayter! Will AEW soon be caught up in Thekla’s web?

The bell rings and the fans rally and duel already. Thekla and Forst step up, and then Thekla kicks low! Thekla whips, runs up, and ROCKS Frost! Thekla snapmares Frost, aims, and basement SUPERKICKS! The fans cheer as Thekla clamps onto Frost with a RINGS OF SATURN, but also fishhooks the mouth! The ref counts, Thekla lets go, and she warns the ref. But Frost storms up on Thekla to kick low! Frost aims but Thekla ducks the buzzsaw, only for the HEEL KICK to hit! Thekla sputters, Frost fires up and runs, but Thekla goes Spider-Woman in the ropes to KICK Frost back! Frost staggers back and Thekla lines up a shot.

Thekla runs up and BOOT WASHES Frost! Thekla goes to the apron, and runs up to BOOT again! The fans fire up for Thekla and she stalks Frost. Frost fires hands and forearms, then ROCKS Thekla! Frost runs, Thekla DECKS her! Thekla then spider-walks! The fans fire up and Frost freaks out a bit! Thekla runs up to SPEAR!! But that’s not all, she reels Frost into the DEATH TRAP!! Frost TAPS, Thekla wins!

Winner: Thekla, by submission

Thekla stares into the camera, and perhaps into the souls of the AEW Women’s Division at the same time, as she holds on a little longer. Thekla lets Frost go, but not for long! Now she puts her in that RINGS OF SATURN FISHHOOK! The fans are torn, the ref reprimands, but here comes Queen Aminata! Aminata has her shoes ready as weapons, but Thekla slips away. Thekla smiles, is Aminata going to be the fly caught in this Toxic Spider’s web?

Queen Aminata speaks.

Fyter Fest returns as the One True African Queen has returned backstage to say, “Sure, I get it. I do. Every single time somebody new comes to AEW, yeah, they’re trying to make names for themselves by any means necessary. Why? Well, this is where the best wrestle. But Thekla, I’m the one and only African Queen. And you wanna know what we do to spiders in Africa? We stomp on them, let them writhe like little young gamanjis. But if you don’t know what that means, you can just go google it. So, I do have an idea: Next week, you VS the Queen! And we’ll find out who’s going to stomp on who.”

Tony Khan has an announcement!

Tony Schiavone lets us know that after the confrontation earlier tonight, Tony Khan has made it official for All In: Texas! KENNY OMEGA VS KAZUCHIKA OKADA, WINNER TAKES ALL!! Both the Continental and International Championships will be on the line, so who proves they are AEW’s best intercontinental talent?

8 Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Paragon VS Lance Archer, Josh Alexander & Roppongi Vice w/ Don Callis!

The challenge was made and the challenge was accepted, and now Red Death teams with Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong & ADAM COLE BAYBAY against some common enemies! But will Fyter Fest be undisputed? Or will the Murderhawk Monster, Walking Weapon, Azucar & #JustTrent make sure #EverybodyDies?

The teams sort out, Roddy and Rocky start and they tie up. They go around, Roddy goes for an arm and he wrenches Rocky. The fans rally but Rocky rolls, wrenches, and grinds the arm.

Rocky knees low, tags Trent, and Trent bumps Cole off buckles.

Cole brings Trent over, tags Kyle, and they mug Trent. Kyle wrenches but Trent throat chops! Trent hurries to tag Alexander, and he scoops Kyle for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!

The fans count along, but Archer grabs Garcia at 7! CHOKE SLAM! The fans boo but the family drags Garcia away to CHOKE him in the corner! The fans boo more but Fyter Fest goes picture in picture.

Archer finally SLAMS Garcia down! Tag to Rocky and he drags Garcia up to suplex high and hard! Rocky slides for the celebration! Tag to Alexander and he stomps Garcia. Alexander talks trash, drags Garcia up, and CLUBS him back down! Alexander suplexes high and hard, then soaks up heat. Tag to Trent, the mugging continues, and Trent soaks up heat. Trent reels Garcia in, but Garcia suplexes! Both men are down and Paragon coaches Garcia up. Trent crawls, hot tag to Alexander, and he CLOBBERS Garcia!

Winners: Daniel Garcia & Paragon, by pinfall

Garcia does the dance aimed at Callis, then he joins his teammates in celebrating. Garcia raises Cole’s hand, pats the title on his shoulder, but then Konosuke & Kyle make their way out here. Will the full Don Callis Family tear down the Paragon and make themselves the pillars of AEW? Or will AEW be undisputed then, now and forever?

My Thoughts:

An awesome night for AEW, but it sure has been a long time since I’ve had to pull a night like this. It was when AEW and NXT had their “Wednesday Night Wars,” in fact. But now AEW can just do four hours on their own, putting Dynamite and Collision on back to back and calling it something like Fyter Fest. Though, with that, Ricochet’s promo talking about four hours of AEW and how he’ll be watching everyone else would have worked better if they used it to OPEN the four hours. Putting it on as the break between Dynamite and Collision just makes it seem like he showed up halfway through, not realizing he was late to the show.

Speaking of Ricochet, him watching the ROH World TV Fatal 4 is an interesting move. Ricochet wants his own faction, and the only guys I see that’d join him from that match specifically are Lee Johnson & Blake Christian. They’re a bit aimless as a couple talented guys filling the ROH midcard, so I could see them moving up to AEW to pal around with arrogant Ricochet. And while Nick defies the odds of winning, I didn’t see this “surprise” Kip Sabian has for Nick. I can’t imagine I missed it, so perhaps that will be revealed on social media or for next week’s Summer Blockbuster.

Great opening with Ospreay talking about the team-up situation, but CRU interrupting really was a headscratcher. Ospreay VS Lio was still a great match for Collision’s opener, and it gave Hangman a reason to show up and help Ospreay. And Hangman showing up was a great excuse for the Death Riders to go out there, which then in turn gave Ospreay reason to come back and help Hangman. It still feels like Swerve and Hangman, despite what they both have said, will end up working together, even if they don’t initially mean to. Something’s gotta give if Moxley is to lose the title, and the bitter enemies turning into allies is a moment that’ll also get everyone to go nuts.

Great tag match from Toni & Mina VS Julia & Skye, and I appreciate the creativity from Mone. For all the “rich person” gimmicks in the history of pro-wrestling, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone have a steak dinner with red wine at ringside. Honestly, if TK is going to do those big prize money matches, he should plan ahead for the winner(s) to kayfabe splurge on something like that. But anyway, Toni & Mina of course won, and I like how Toni finished Mone’s steak for her. I feel like they should flip it and Toni has a fancy dinner while watching Mone, but probably not.

Great promo from the Hurt Syndicate, and you can bet Mistico VS MJF will happen for Grand Slam: Mexico. Good promo in response from Komander and #JetSpeed. Awesome Six Man Tag with them and LFI. I was hoping LFI would get going again, earn their way to the tag titles or at least the trios titles, but clearly Hurt Syndicate takes priority and they will fight Faces. The Six Man Tag for next week will also be great, but the Hurt Syndicate surely wins that one. But even then, some team has to step up and challenge for the tag titles, I just can’t be sure who.

Max Caster again fails his own challenge, that was a good win for Hobbs just for the fun of it. I wonder if Caster’s five minute challenge is used as a roundabout way to get Hobbs VS Hook. I can’t remember who beat Caster faster but that can be the excuse, when the real reason is Hook feels forgotten because Hobbs joined The Opps. Bowens has a very good promo to call out Kyle Fletcher, their match could be a show stealer. Thekla sure made quick work of Lady Frost, but it was obvious she was going to win anyway. Aminata stepping to Thekla is good and all, but why isn’t it just Hayter? Granted, Aminata needs something to do while we still wait on the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament to be finalized, but it kinda hurts Aminata to lose to Thekla going into that.

Great tag match from FTR VS Templario y Atlantis Jr, but of course FTR cheats to win. Can’t wait to see if they get a match for Grand Slam: Mexico, and chance are they cheat to win that, too. Awesome return for Tay Melo in saving Anna Jay from Megan & Penelope. We just got a wild tag match from Anna & Harley VS Megan & Penelope, but maybe we build to another one with Tay. The AEW International Championship not being THE main event was a little surprising, but then we saw how it set up Omega VS Okada in Winner Takes All, so that explained it. Plus, with as late as this show was going to go, fans were able to watch that awesome Fatal 4 Way before midnight.

And the Don Callis Family sure was busy. I do appreciate that the Don Callis Family is expanding. They’ve got seven wrestlers with Hechi joining up, so they’re on par with any given faction in NJPW. Also, Callis falling over while he punches someone is hilarious. The Six Man Tag was great, I wonder if that sets up Bandido VS Hechicero for Supercard of Honor in Texas. I don’t see Kyle or Konosuke bothering with the ROH World Championship anymore, and Hechi can take the loss no problem. Then the 8 Man Tag was very good, and the Faces winning there made sense. For one, it evens out with the Six Man Tag going to the Callis Family.

Also, it teases that we might get Cole VS Garcia again. If that happens, I wonder if Garcia turns and joins the family… It is the only thing that’d really spice up what Garcia and Paragon are even doing, as the TNT Championship has been just sitting around while TK figures this stuff out.

My Score: 9.1/10

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.

Prince Nana talked with Swerve Strickland about the Ospreay and Hangman situation, and Renee Paquette walks over to ask them about that. Can he work with Ospreay and Hangman to finally bring down the Death Riders? Swerve says he is going to clear up this misconception. He owned up to what he did, he said he deserved what happened. But that doesn’t make them friends or a team, and they never will be. But then Ospreay barges in and says he has his own question: Who is the bigger threat to AEW? The Death Riders? Or Hangman Page? The only time Swerve was beefing with Hangman was because they both wanted the same opportunities. Tell Ospreay he’s lying.

Swerve had the world title! He did it! He became AEW’s first Black world champion! And he wore that title with pride! But is Swerve happy that Moxley’s stuck it in some briefcase? Because Ospreay isn’t. Ospreay says that belt should be around the best wrestler in the world right now, and right now that is Hangman! Swerve says, “No, it’s not.” Swerve has beat Hangman twice. But did Swerve beat Moxley? Has Ospreay beat Swerve? Swerve says the truth hurts, don’t it? But this team Ospreay is trying to put together to go against the Death Riders, Swerve just did that at Double or Nothing, Anarchy in the Arena, Swerve is done with that.

Swerve says Ospreay is delusional, but Ospreay won’t let Swerve leave because he’s not done talking. Swerve shoves Ospreay, so Ospreay hits back! They brawl right in the parking lot! Swerve sends Ospreay into railing, Ospreay comes back for ore! Ospreay says they are on the same team, whether Swerve likes it or not! Will Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman, and the rest of the roster put their personal history aside to finally and truly save the soul of AEW?

From one title opportunity to another, The Rainmaker moves on through the roster after successfully retaining at Double or Nothing. But now, the Pride of Professional Wrestling steps up to the plate! Will this be a homerun for the 5 Tool Player? Or will it take more than just Bowens’ combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor to earn a golden ticket?

The bell rings and the fans cheer already as Bowens and Okada circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Okada’s height gives him the leverage to put Bowens on ropes.

Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Matt Menard.

Lexy Nair is with Red Death & Daddy Magic, and asks after that tough loss to FTR at Double or Nothing, what is next for Garcia? Garcia says a tough loss is an understatement. That was one of the hardest tag matches- Menard cuts Danny off there. Menard wants Garcia to think. Garcia has been moving around this whole week. Garcia wants others to fight his battles for him, but what did he think was gonna happen? Is that the first match he’s ever lost? Does Garcia think it’ll be the last? Don Callis interrupts Menard’s rant to ask, “Is this your version of an inspirational speech?” Then he asks Garcia, “What’re you doing with this guy?”

Garcia says Menard is his mentor. Oh, wow, [Censored] Magic is his mentor? Callis says Garcia is a Lamborghini. If you need to tune the Lamborghini up, you don’t take it to someone who’s never been under the hood, you take it to the number one mechanic, and that’s Don Callis. Garcia should join the family, instead of listening to this. Menard says let’s ask Kenny Omega or Will Ospreay how good of a “mentor” Callis is, huh? Garcia says he is sick of old men telling him how to do his career. Garcia tells Callis to get his “boiled hot dog looking ass” out of his face. Archer gets heated, but Callis has him stand down.

Callis says Garcia is right about one thing: he is an old man; a RICH, SUCCESSFUL old man! But the Family wants volunteers, not hostages. He is just asking Garcia to do something he hasn’t been doing for awhile, and that is think. Callis leaves Garcia to think on this offer, will the answer still be no?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

Collision returns and Schiavone welcomes us back, and he also says this has been a great crowd in El Paso. The fans cheer, and Schiavone says the fans all around the world, please welcome out… FTR. The fans boo now as Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out to the ring. Their win at Double or Nothing has made them THE winningest tag team in AEW history, and Nigel on commentary says he learned just how good they are. He just hopes FTR holds up their end of the agreement to just leave commentary alone. Stokely still rudely takes the mic from Schiavone, and he excuses Schiavone back to the desk.

Stokely says, “Sunday at Double or Nothing, FTR proved once again that they are the greatest tag team alive today.” The fans boo, but Stokely says FTR proved they are indeed Living Legend Killers, and more importantly, they proved they are right about Nigel McGuinness. Behind that commentary desk is where he belongs! They give Nigel an A for effort but a D for execution. But Stokely moves on from that. They are in El Paso, Texas! That Mexican border is just a hop, skip and a jump away. And FTR, out of the goodness of their hearts, because they are good guys, have issued an open challenge to any tag team south of the border!

Stokely has the full terms of that contract right here! He hands it to Cash to hold for him, and Stokely reads it. “Andale, andale, mami, eya eya OOOOH~! What’s poppin’ tonight?” But wait! Atlantis Jr. is here! The fans fire up as he and Templario of CMLL make their way to the ring! The luchadores are ready to go right here and now, but FTR has them back up. Cash says they respect both men so much. They are big fan of Atlantis’ father, a huge legend in lucha libre! But what everyone might know is that FTR are living lucha legends themselves. See, they had gold down in how you say, “Mehico,” and well…

They’ve been “Seven Star FTR’ for a little too long. Maybe they become Eight Stars? Maybe they go to CMLL and add that gold? These two can be a nice little warm-up for that! Dax says hold on, hold on. Does this mic work? Dax claims it isn’t good enough for him, so he gets a new mic. Dax says there is no issue here. He is Dax, nice to meet you. That’s Cash, that’s Big Stoke, but the fans say they’re really “CULERO~! CULERO~!” Dax says hold on, hold on. FTR are really big stars in the USA. Everywhere they go, people recognize them. Maybe now that AEW and CMLL have their joint show on June 18th, Arena Mexico, Dax needs to get to know them.

So the first question is, FTR is big in USA, but how does it feel being recognized by your countrymen? Dax pulls the usual interrupting shtick, because he says the “Mighty Morphing Power Ranger” masks keep people from knowing who they are! The next question is, in Arena Mexico, Grand Slam, HUGE conglomeration between their companies, what would their dream match be? Because Dax is pretty sure that has to be with a big star team, like FTR! Unfortunately, Tony Khan has bigger plans than that for FTR, so they can’t wrestle Atlantis y Templario. But again. big fan of Atlantis Sr, the OG. He’s had great matches as a FIVE-TIME CMLL World Tag Team Champoin.

And even still today, Atlantis Sr, at 62 years old, is still wrestling! Impressive! Can Dax send a message to him? Please tell your dad, “Keep your old ass at home and not mess with FTR.” The fans boo but Atlantis Jr. takes the mic! Atlantis says his dad isn’t here to defend himself, but Atlantis Jr. is! If FTR wants to say something, then just say it, PERRO! FTR wants the CMLL guys to calm down, they don’t want trouble. This is all about AEW and CMLL teaming up. The fans still let FTR have it, but then FTR sucker punch the luchadores! The fans boo as they get Templario up! But Atlantis GAMANGIRIS Cash off the corner!

Atlantis climbs, Templario gets free, CROSSBODY onto Dax! Templario uses Atlantis as a step to launch and DROPKICK Cash! The fans fire up as Atlantis runs, get a boost, and he DOUBLE DROPKICKS FTR! The fans fire up and then Templario FOSBURY FLOPS out onto the #TopGuys! Atlantis tells FTR, you do NOT disrespect his familia! These two are the stars of lucha, so see you very soon, because they are gonna kick your ass!! The fans fire up for that one! When and where will the second generation sensation and the Lion Warrior show FTR what lucha is all about?

Max Caster met with fans today.

It was the AEW All Elite Experience in El Paso that Platinum Max tried to teach fans his chant: Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Some picked up on it, but it seemed like most didn’t care. Caster says that’s right! They love him!

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Wednesday night, Mixed Six Tag Team match, and I took the L. Jon Moxley, you caught me in your little bulldog choke, ref called for the bell, ding ding ding. It happened. Now, Thursday, my five-year-old son comes up to me when I get home, and he said, ‘Daddy, did you quit last night?’ I said, ‘Son, no, I did not quit. I would never quit. You win some and you lose some in life, but you never quit, and I did not quit!’ But you see the predicament I’m in now, as my kids are doubting me. Mox, I want you one on one, Denver, Dynamite. This ain’t about that title you got. This is about something bigger than that for me.

“So I’m have to line the kids up in front of the TV, and they gonna watch me whoop a man’s ass! So Mox, you better be ready to man up!” The Sussex County Chicken is ready to run wild, but will he tear down the Maniac AEW World Champion for Fyter Fest?

And there you have it! The Golden Mask 2 is now part of a golden opportunity! Will Dorada take the title from Kenny? Will it be Brody or Claudio instead? Or will the Best Bout Machine find a way to still be champion?

My Thoughts:

A great episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded and then further delayed because of NBA Playoffs. A lot of last minute build to Fyter Fest, and I don’t even mean the qualifiers. Both qualifiers were awesome, and while I figured Claudio would win against Komander, I’m pleasantly surprised Mascara Dorada beat Hechicero in a great main event. That’s now technically three Faces and one Heel for the Fatal 4 Way, and just for the sake of story, I would hope the Death Riders don’t get more gold. They need to stay desperate about holding onto THE AEW World Championship while the proverbial walls are closing in.

Speaking of which, great promo from Mark Briscoe to call out Moxley, and they are going to have a great match, even with no title stakes on the line. And also a very good promo from Swerve with Ospreay to add their own tensions to this team-up story. Swerve doesn’t want to work with Hangman, he wants Ospreay to back off, but Ospreay is the one speaking sense again. Ospreay, Hangman and Swerve are the big 3 in terms of Faces, and then, whenever Darby Allin returns, that is quite the fearsome four to take on the Death Riders.

But the “last minute” stuff is the other tag matches they made for that HUGE four hour show. Mina of course beat Skye Blue, and I should’ve figured Julia would show up. Good save from Toni, and they’ll have a good tag match that I would think Toni & Mina win. Unless Mone gets involved, because she will be there on commentary. Great Six Man Tag of LFI VS Fox & Top Flight, and a very good win for LFI. Speedball & Komander making the save was good stuff, and I appreciate Kevin Knight will be joining in since he’ll be back from Japan by Wednesday.

Gates of Agony of course win their match, and I do feel they need another chance back to the tag titles. FTR had a very good promo with Atlantis y Templario, and that tag match could be a show stealer. It really should also lead into something bigger for Grand Slam: Mexico. FTR did mention they want tag titles, and the CMLL World Tag Team Champions are Los Nuevos Ingobernables, aka the NEW Ungovernables, Angel de Oro y Niebla Roja. I wonder if they’ll interact with LFI at all…

Great Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Ishii & Paragon, but I figured the Family would win. Konosuke pinning Ishii really should lead to Konosuke challenging for the NJPW Strong title at either the next NJPW event in America, or even through AEW. Good promo from Garcia with Menard and Callis. Menard is being a bit harsh on Garcia, but I would hope Garcia doesn’t join up with the Callis Family. I’m just not sure how well Garcia fairs in a feud against them when his backup is sadly just Daddy Magic while the Callis Family has the most members it has ever had.

Hilarious promo from Caster where he is really trying hard with this Best Wrestler Alive thing, but in a new direction. I’m sure he’ll try getting fellow wrestlers to sign that, only to get beat up like with his Open Challenge. And an awesome match from Okada VS Bowens, even with it just being an Eliminator. Okada still wins as there might still be pans of Okada VS Omega, Winner Takes All, but Okada’s gotta have someone at least challenge him along the way. If nothing else, test the waters of what a 20 minute draw does for the eliminator and give someone a shot at the Continental Championship for the FOUR HOUR “Summer Blockbuster” on June 11th.

My Score: 8.8/10
