NJPW World TV Championship: El Phantasmo w/ Jado VS Great-O-Khan w/ The United Empire!

The Headbanga knew the United Empire was coming for his gold, but his match with “Captain” TJP was just to soften him up for The Dominator! Will Khan bring this gold back to the Empire? Or will this still be the ELP Show?

It seems the United Empire is bringing a special guest! It’s the man who designed the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship belt, Masami Obari! Obari-san puts up the crown with the Empire, and joins Francesco Akira & Jakob Austin Young in Khan’s corner. Is this a sign Obari could also be designing something special for Khan? That aside, the match introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s really the Face of NJPW World!

The fans rally and duel, but the “O-KHAN! O-KHAN!” side seems stronger. Khan storms up but ELP fires a body shot! There wasn’t much behind it, and Khan taunts ELP. ELP rises to fire a forearm, but that’s the bad arm! Khan smirks but the fans rally again. ELP fires a forearm, but Khan Mongolian Chops him down! The “O-KHAN!” side again outdoes the “E L P!” ELP still rises to throw a chop, but there is still little behind it.

Both men are down again and the fans fire back up! Time is running out and that favors ELP. Khan crawls over to ELP, the two sit up, and Khan fires a forearm!

Khan grins as his master plan worked out! TJP weakened ELP, then the chairs came into play like Chekov’s Gun. Khan has conquered another title, but what will he have in store for his “season” as NJPW World TV Champion?

 

Hiroshi Tanahashi VS Shota Umino!

The Ace continues down the Final Road, but the Roughneck is just starting his Second Chapter. However, after losing to David Finlay, could Shota be embracing a darker path? Or can President Tanahashi still show him the light?

Whether light or dark, good or evil, that might just be a matter of perspective. What is clear is that Shota’s Second Chapter just punctuated a major part of Tanahashi’s last chapter! But wait, Shota wishes to speak. The mic is handed over, and the fans cheer Shota as he kneels by Tanahashi. “Tanahashi-san… I have just one decision, one option. I will lead Hontai here in NJPW!” Shota takes a bow of respect to President Tanahashi, but will he really lead the main unit when he is not yet atop the mountain? As for Tanahashi, he now has a week to prepare for his next match, that being with Konosuke Takeshita! Will The Ace be ready for The Alpha?

Goto knows Shota has “freed himself from doubt.” Then, they’ll fight with this belt on the line. The fans are again torn, but Goto tells Shota that they can show America a REAL NJPW match! What’s he say to that?

Goto holds out the mic, and Shota takes it. The fans are torn, with plenty of boos but also plenty of cheers. Shota tells Goto, “First of all, congratulations on your defense. Daddy’s pretty cool, isn’t he? Let’s show the world the power of NJPW’s Hontai.” The fans do applaud that, and Shota says, “I’ll give you everything I’ve got to take that belt.” Shota drops the mic to shake Goto’s hand, then he heads out. As for Goto, he continues to say that “The Goto Revolution isn’t just limited to Japan. The Goto Revolution continues, make sure you follow me! The G in IWGP, you’ve caught on, haven’t you? Let’s do this! The G in IWGP stands for GOTO!”

And with that, The Fierce Warrior is moving forward! Will he continue to lead NJPW and its new era? Or will the Paradigm Shift Shota speaks of just be a week away?


My Thoughts:

A great event for NJPW, Sakura Genesis is certainly one of the biggest nights on their calendar now. We got some great matches and some great story developments all over the place, really bringing some intrigue into the rest of the year and maybe even beyond. Great win for Yuya over Sanada, and then perhaps Sanada had about enough of being a War Dog, because he finally did what I knew he would and turned to the House of Torture. Great stuff in that on its own, and per Finlay’s backstage comments at the very end of the night, we’re getting another “Dog Pound Steel Cage match” for the blowoff.

The original was with United Empire, and that one got a little too wild, aka it ended Alex Coughlin’s in-ring career, so let’s just hope they don’t go as wild as they did that time. Either way, that blowoff will be great stuff, and it makes sense that no high level title is in either faction because this feud doesn’t really need it. Speaking of which, great stuff  in the Global Heavyweight Championship match, with the Tsuji brothers pulling that old bait ‘n’ switch trick again. And of course the House had to get involved there, only for Shingo Takagi to counter that. Great win for Yota, and Uemura beating Sanada, Yota VS Yuya is going to be some great stuff, too.

I’m rather surprised we got new champions in Great-O-Khan and the Cobb Callum combination. Clearly, rumors of Cobb’s departure were greatly exaggerated. Surely Cobb & Callum will have a very good reign, as will Khan as NJPW World TV Champion. The most curious thing is that Obari the belt designer is with them. The most Bullet Club War Dogs did to the titles they held was put white straps on them. Perhaps Obari will give the Empire their own custom green? Or some new face plates to mark this new era of NJPW? His design for THE IWGP World title was a bit out of the norm at the time it was introduced, but it isn’t the worst so he could probably give the tag titles a fresh start.

Great match from Konosuke VS Oiwa, but I figured Konosuke would win so that he has momentum going into Windy City Riot next week. Great match from Tanahashi VS Shota, and it’s only a little surprising Shota won. After all, Shota is still one of the Reiwa Era Musketeers, NJPW still has high hopes for him despite the audience’s feelings. Likewise, a great main event from Goto VS Finlay, and a great win for Goto. Goto sure has his own high expectations for Shota, and their match at Windy City Riot could also be a measure of where Shota’s going both in story and in character. Chicago’s a tough town, they might not care for Shota even if he does start getting edgier.

Shota told Tanahashi he wants to lead Hontai and essentially be the face of NJPW, and becoming world champion would help do that. I just don’t think a show down in America is going to be where any of that happens. Shota may have to prove himself through the G1 Climax instead.

My Score: 9/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.22.25

Is it a Go Away or Go Home show?

Published

on

I avoided last week because when TNA starts making my IQ drop, I need time off to rethink how I make life decisions. And well…I have bad taste, just like with my women. The redder the flag, the better for me.

Explains so much about me and why I drink.

Ratings:

  • Mustafa Ali vs Ace Austin: Ali wins via Calf Killer – ***
  • Aztec Warriors vs Jabroni Losers w/Eric Young: Aztecs win via Drive Split – *
  • Eddie Edwards w/Lish vs Jake Painter: Squash match Eddie wins duh
  • Fir$t Cla$$ vs Sami Callihan & Mike Santana: KC wins via Blessing in Disguise – ***
  • Vipress & Mazzeratti vs Spitfire: Spitfire – 1/2*
  • Elijah & Joe Hendry vs Moose & Brian Myers: Elijah wins via Highwayman’s Farewell – ** 1/2

 

Results:

Mustafa Ali vs Ace Austin

Ali continues his more vicious approach, he attacks Ace’s leg with as few Leg Scissors attempts, a few quick strikes, a lot of Lucha Style counters into impact moves but nothing sticks. Kicks, Side Suplexes, Mustafa eats a few strikes, powders and Ace hits his apron dance counter spot hitting the PK. Back in ring Ace tries to continue but Ace just grabs the bad leg into a DDT, then a Chop Block and wraps Ace’s knee into the post. Ace tries to fight back, a few strikes, looks for Backwards Splash but Ali kicks Ace’s legs, Tree of Woe, Mustafa goes for the Baseball slide, but Ace sits up and crotches himself into the post. Ace tries his Backwards Splash again but Mustafa moves and goes for a Sharpshooter, Ace struggles but gets to the ropes.

Extra strikes before Mustafa gets the best of it, 450 attempt from Mustafa misses, Ace rock Mustafa, looks for a Hesitation Dropkick but Ali pulls Tasha in the ring to stop Ace, pushes Tasha at him, Ace tries to put her down and eats the Chop Block, then Mustafa pulls out the Calf Killer on the bad leg and Ace taps out.

Aztec Warriors vs Jabroni Losers w/Eric Young

Laredo and bald dork have a lame tie up, a generic rope  run Indy/AEW shit leap frog and headscissors dumb thing spot. Aztecs double baldo, but he tags out to Temu (pre-Tarrifs) Yuta, Octagon punks out the dweeb, Aztec Double Thrust kick and the crowd is actually vibing with Aztecs. Jabronis have a slow and stupid distract spot for Temuta to bite Octagon and do a corner double team as Baldo tags in. These two dweebs really make everything worse. I would rather listen to War and Peace read by a naked Cody Deaner than ever see these dweebs on a show anywhere, they are the definition of “never drew a dime”.

Eric Young about to beat up a fan is more entertaining than this entire match, also why the camera pays attention to it, Laredo screws up his Tornillo Drive and hits his head on the apron. Laredo Driver into Arabian Moonsault tandem finish, Aztecs win.

Eddie Edwards w/Lish vs Jake Painter

Eddie beats the hell out of jobber, Cody is on commentary since the have the Under Siege match. Lish is more entertaining than Cody and the match. Holy hell two useless matches in a row. I’ve seen scuba gear in the desert more useful than the last 20 minutes of this show.

Fir$t Cla$$ vs Sami Callihan & Mike Santana

AJ and Santana start, AJ clocks him with a lariat but he kips up, Dropkicks AJ and KC tags in, calming AJ first and then a small comedy spot that turns into KC into a pancake. Santana tags out, KC avoids a few Sami moves, Sami lets him do some taunts and then lights him up. AJ tries to slow down Sami but KC gets tosses outside, AJ catches him, rocks the baby, it’s a great spot. KC hits a Slingblade First Class has a few fun tag moves of AJ throwing KC, locomotion Sentons, they put stuff together well, Sami rocks AJ, simultaneous tag.

KC and Santana counter each other, Santana hits the Rolling Buck Fifty as he follows a KC roll. Quick spots that ends with an Outline in Chalk, AJ misses the Lariat, Santana knocks him to the outside. They look to set up a tandem finish but AJ grabs Santana and rocks him, Sami tries to intervene but AJ does enough to distract, KC hits the Blessing in Disguise and picks up the win! Good for my boy!

Vipress & Mazzeratti vs Spitfire

Another job match…they really suck at making good wrestling matches prior to bigger events.

Vipress is cute, but I think I slipped into a coma. Jody is a bad wrestler, and its a squash match. I couldn’t care less about this match existing.

Elijah & Joe Hendry vs Moose & Brian Myers

Elijah and Myers lock up first, old school Shoulder Tackle and Hip Toss into Headlock stuff. Myers retreats, tags out to Moose, Moose points are Hendry, and Moose wants a Test of Strength. Holy 1995 Batman…

Moose attacks the shoulder and quick tags as they isolate Hendry are strike the taped shoulder. Moose is legal, Hendry blocks the Suplex, Pump Kicks Joe in the chest, Hendry hits his stalling Suplex, tags in Elijah, rope walk Tornado DDT. Moose rolls into the tag to Myers and Elijah grabs Myers’ arm, wants another rope walk, but Dango shakes the ropes, Elijah crotches himself and Myers swarms. Elijah fires, tries to hit the ropes, but Baseball trip Raven pose from Myers as we go to commercial.

We come back, Moose hits a Backbreaker on Elijah and tags out to Myers who does the on the ground Front Facelock spot. Myers takes a cheap shot at Joe, Elijah catches him with a Knee Lift simultaneous tag, Hendry hits the Sack of Shit, Kip Up and turn. Wants the Standing Ovation, Moose rocks Joe, goes for the Escalara Crossbody, Joe Side steps it, Simultaneous Lariats, tag outs, Elijah ducks Myers and hits the Highwayman’s Farewell and they win.

Kaz attacks after the match, tries to urge Trick off of commentary, but Trick only cares about Trick. Hendry Uppercuts Kaz into Elijah’s waiting Guitar Shot. Ahh its old school TNA, Joe side steps and Guitar Shots.

 

Overall Score: 4.5/10

The Italian Debate was entertaining, the table was Japanese, the Opening and Closing matches we fun…the rest of the show was Hot Garbage. At least Mance Warner said match his freak, I enjoy that turn of phrase. But hot damn, TNA has had awful Go Home shows. They close decently well but when 80% of the show sucks, I can’t find myself caring.

This episode did nothing to push the B show app event. If anything it made Under Siege feel more irrelevant. I think Tommy Dreamer said something about bad storylines a few weeks ago, and that’s truly a lack of self awareness. These shows have felt like they’re written by a Kindergartener chewing on a crayon. Mostly awful, it was just bookended well.

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

He welcomes out the TNT Champion, Adam Cole! The fans in Albuquerque fire up as Cole makes his way to the ring. They join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole then joins commentary, and Schiavone brings out the guests for this contract signing. First of all, alongside Stokely Hathaway, it is FTR! The fans boo as #BigStoke and his #TopGuys walk to the ring. They sarcastically pat Schiavone on the back and he asks for some decorum. Now to FTR’s opponents! First of all, Daniel Garcia! The fans cheer as Red Death makes his way out here, Daddy Magic by his side. They join everyone in the ring, and Garcia shakes Schiavone’s hand.

Schiavone notes Menard here with Garcia. Garcia’s partner for Sunday is one of the most decorated ROH wrestlers ever, THE Nigel McGuinness! The fans cheer as Nigel makes his way out, throws up deuces, and he joins the rest in the ring. Schiavone has the contract for the sanctioned tag team match. Stokely takes the contract while Cash Wheeler takes the mic. “Out of the kindness of our hearts, we asked you two out here, face to face, to give you one more chance to reconsider!” Cash hushes the fans, and he says no matter how much Garcia has hurt FTR, how much Garcia has stabbed them in the back, FTR still see Garcia as a son.

Is Garcia throwing all of that away for nobodies like Daddy Magic? And Nigel, you get paid to talk now, but it’ll pay to shut your mouth and listen! He doesn’t understand how much trouble he’s talked his way into! Cash tells the fans HE is talking! Nigel hides behind commentary and makes jokes, claim he’s retired, then physically interject himself into FTR’s business?! This Sunday, there is no desk to hide behind! There is no magic trick to save his ass! It is Nigel, a shell of his former self, against the greatest tag team of all time! Is Nigel sure he wants this? FTR finishes signing their part, and then they pass the contract back to Schiavone.

Schiavone hands the contract to Garcia, and Garcia also gets the mic. Garcia says he was having trouble hearing Cash there. The fans cheer Garcia, and Garcia says he does still care for FTR. That is not something that just goes away. But he has to look at them now and see they are selfish, narcissistic sociopaths! They say Garcia turned on them, but no, they turned on him. FTR turned their backs on everyone who has ever cared about them! They have crossed too many lines to count, and now Garcia stands up for himself. But not just for himself, but for Schiavone, for Daddy Magic, for Adam Copeland and his family, and for everybody here that has had enough of FTR!

The fans cheer and Garcia says FTR is right about one thing: They are the greatest tag team that wrestling has ever seen. But this Sunday, it won’t be a wrestling match. It’ll be a fight! Garcia is coming to fight! Nigel, Garcia knows you’re worried, you have that little voice of doubt. But the thing is, no matter what FTR says, no matter how Nigel feels, Garcia sees Nigel walking those halls. Garcia sees that look in his eyes. It was the look Nigel had when he was wrestling Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, and being one of the GREATEST ROH Champions of all time! The fans cheer and Dax wants everyone to calm down.

Garcia says no matter what FTR says or how Nigel feels, Garcia and the fans all know, you still got it! The fans cheer that, “You Still Got It!” Garcia tells Nigel that if he’s not getting the Nigel we all know, then don’t bother signing the contract. Garcia signs his part, and Nigel speaks. Whether he still has it or not, we find out at Double or Nothing. But before Nigel signs, he needs FTR’s word, whatever that’s worth these days, that after Sunday, win, lose or draw… FTR does NOT touch Schiavone or Nigel ever again! You do not even TALK to them ever again! In fact, don’t even LOOK their way ever again! Because if they do, Nigel promises them, it’ll be Top Guys Out for good!

The fans cheer, FTR seems to accept that, and Nigel holds the contract. But Dax still has to talk… The fans boo, and Dax says hey, hold on. Before they all wrap this up, he wants to tell Nigel to look him in the eyes. Dax has to know. He has to know this is what Nigel wants. This isn’t 2009, when it was all about Nigel. It is 2025 and Nigel has a beautiful family he has to think about. Dax knows the business has beat Nigel up through the years. But if Nigel wants FTR to finish the job, then sign the contract. But if Nigel signs it, it is his blood on his own hands. If Nigel signs, what happens at Double or Nothing is not on FTR.

Or, Nigel can turn around, leave the ring, walk back to commentary “where you belong,” and they can just forget about all this. They’ll put it behind them. And then maybe, all of them can even be friends again. Dax pats Nigel on the cheek, and Nigel grabs the mic. “I’m only gonna ask you this once: Don’t put your hands on me again.” Dax laughs that off and says hold on! Why so serious? This is just business! Cuz if this were personal… Dax would’ve already splattered Nigel’s nose across his face. But this is business, and Sunday, FTR will be businessmen. Dax just hopes so can Nigel. Dax touches Nigel’s shoulder, Nigel grabs that arm!

Nigel puts Dax in a corner, Cash SHOVES Garcia into Menard! Stoke bails, Schiavone isn’t far behind, and Cash storms up on Nigel. Nigel HEADBUTTS Cash, and Garcia fires hands! Dax kicks Nigel, but Nigel WRINGS Dax’s arm! Garcia has Cash’s legs, Nigel has Dax’s arm! DRAGON TAMER and SHANKLY GATES!! FTR is tapping out! Menard dares Stoke to try something! Security rushes out, FTR is set free, and they retreat with Stoke while fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Nigel gets the mic back, and the pen, and he says if they want to look in his eyes, come Sunday, he’ll look into their souls!

“At Double or Nothing, THIS… ENDS!” Nigel signs and it is official! Will nothing stop Nigel & Garcia from making FTR tap out again?

 

Toni Storm speaks.

“So many women have died when they are young, only for their bodies to be buried much later. But you, Mina Shirakawa, have only ever made me feel very much alive. I have appreciated you, I have admired you, and by gawd, have I envied you. But now, you’re here to stay. The safari is over. And it’s much more difficult to survive the squared jungle when this pussy is on the prowl. I’ve always had a premonition that this journey would end in tragedy. So if there’s anyone can stop this belt from shining in my reflection at All In, then there is nobody more talented than you.

“I just have one request: Sunday, give me your damndest in the desert! Make me fight for my fate in Phoenix! Let’s drag out tits through the dirt, and let’s make every cactus cream in celebration! And then, decades from now, when we’re in the wrestler retirement home, giving Brutus Beefcake a lap dance, I will turn to you and say, ‘Dammit! You lusty, busty bastard! We lived!'” The Timeless One has come to terms with what could be, but what will happen when she and the Fighting Gravure Idol go Double or Nothing?

 

Six Man Tag: Bandido & The Outrunners VS The Don Callis Family!

We’ve seen the Most Wanted and “Los Outrunners” team with before, and now they’re taking on some real bad hombres! Will they be the ones winning this shootout? Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta be bringing down the ROH World Champion and the Youngest Men Alive?

The trios sort out, Callis is on commentary and says he is a big Adam Cole fan. Bandido starts against Trent and the fans are all on Bandido’s side. They circle, tie up, and Trent powers Bandido back. The ref counts, Trent lets off, but then he swings! Bandido dodges to CHOP, CHPO, and CHOP! Trent throat chops! The ref reprimands but Trent whips. Bandido rolls over the dropdown, then whips. Trent reverses, hurdles, but Bandido leaps over! Bandido aims a finger gun, then runs up. Trent bypasses, hurdles, but into a BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up and Bandido brings Trent up. Bandido suplexes, and he holds Trent up!

The fans count along, but Konosuke and Rocky rush in! Truth & Turbo cut them off, we pass TEN, then the Outrunners send Rocky & Konosuke into each other! We pass 15 as The Outrunners suplex Konosuke and Rocky! Then we hit 25 and we get TRIPLE SLAMS! The fans fire up for Bandido y Los Outrunners as they flex! Then they whip Bandido so he can FLY! Down goes the Don Callis Family and Collision goes picture in picture!

Bandido fires up and he returns to the ring. Trent crawls around in there, and Bandido keeps the fans fired up. Bandido drags Trent up with a headlock, then tags in Truth Magnum. Truth headlocks, brings Trent around, but Trent RAMS him into the Callis Family corner! Rocky is there to tag in, and he BLASTS turbo and Bandido! The ref reprimands, but Rocky then scoops and SLAMS Truth! Tag to Konosuke, he hops right up, and he SUPER SENTONS! Truth sputters from the impact! Truth goes to the apron but Rocky CLUBS him! The ref reprimands but Konosuke drags Truth back in.

Truth CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Konosuke ALPHA ELBOWS Truth down! Konosuke steps on Truth at the ropes, CHOKEs him, then argues with the ref. That lets RPG Vice mug Truth! The ref keeps Turbo and Bandido back, letting Konosuke add on! Konosuke keeps Truth from his corner to whip him back into the Callis corner. Tag to Trent and he stomps Truth. Trent UPPERCUTS, tags Rocky, and Rocky snapmares Truth for a basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Truth toughs it out but Rocky kicks him around. Rocky eggs Truth on, KICKS him in the leg, then stalks him. Rocky brings Truth around, whips him back in, and Collision returns to single picture.

Truth fires elbows on Trent and Konosuke! Rocky runs up, Truth BOOTS him, but then Rocky whips Truth away. Truth rolls off Rocky’s back, hot tag to Bandido! Bandido rallies on RPG Vice! Trent sends Bandido to a corner, runs up, but Bandido pops Trent up! Bandido runs and DROPKICKS Trent down! The fans fire up but Rocky kicks Bandido! Rocky runs, but Bandido pops him up and THROWS him at Trent! The fans are fired up even more, but Konosuke tags in. Konosuke and Bandido step up, and they start throwing forearms! The fans rally for Bandido as he gets the edge, but the ALPHA ELBOW lands!

Konosuke stands over Bandido, drags him up and whips, but Bandido reverses. Bandido runs in, Konosuke puts him on the apron, but Bandido bumps him off buckles then KICKS him away! Bandido goes up, up, and TORNILLO CROSSBODIES! The fans fire up, Bandido whips and scoops to a torture rack! Then the X- NO! Konosuke blocks the knee, and BLUE THUNDER BOMBS!! Cover, Outrunners break it! RPG Vice storms in, they TOSS The Outrunners, and Konosuke drags Bandido up. Rocky is up top, Konosuke puts Bandido on the ropes! Rocky hits the GUILLOTINE KNEE, Trent adds the SLIDING KNEE!

Konosuke drags Bandido back up, RAGING- NO, Outrunners save Bandido! And they DOUBLE DROPKICK Konosuke and Rocky! Outrunners fire hands on RPG Vice then run, but into DOUBLE JUMP KNEES! Bandido BOOTS Trent, dodges Rocky, and he shoves Rocky to the scoop and torture rack! X KNEE STRIKE!! Rocky flops to ropes, Callis panics, but Bandido deals his hand! Trent saves Rocky from the 21 Plex! Konosuke BOOTS Bandido and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Bandido is right up! And he SUPERKICKS! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! Bandido and Konosuke crawl, hot tag to Turbo!

The fans fire up as Turbo rallies on RPG Vice! Scoop SLAM for Trent! Scoop SLAM for Rocky! Scoop SLAM for Konosuke! Truth becomes Turbo’s weapon, scoop SLAM onto Konosuke! The fans fire up, Outrunners wind up, and “Turbo Floyd! You son of a b*tch!” Big handshake and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Trent is in but Bandido pops him up for a CUTTER! The Outrunners have Konosuke set up, scoop and run, but Rocky trips Truth! Konosuke shoves Turbo, KNEES him into Truth, and then ARCHER attacks in the distraction! The fans boo but the Murderhawk Monster gets away with one!

Konosuke has Truth, Trent has Turbo, DOUBLE HALF ‘N’ HALF PLEXES! Konosuke then gut wrenches Truth while Trent Alabama Lifts Turbo. They each tuck the Outrunners in, Rocky is up top, DOUBLE STRONG ZERO!! Cover, the Callis Family wins!

Winners: The Don Callis Family, by pinfall

Rocky slides for his soccer style celebration, this is a big win for the Callis Family to kick off the night! But will the rest of the family be just as victorious? Or will Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander pay for the karma Callis just banked?

 

Gabe Kidd speaks.

“See, I don’t understand what you don’t get. I don’t understand what I have to explain here. Let me make it very clear. There’s a lot of people asking questions, ‘Why would Gabe Kidd join up with The Young Bucks? Why would Gabe Kidd join up with Jon Moxley?’ It’s very EFFIN’ simple! You wanna save this company? You wanna save what AEW is? Protect it from all of us? How are you gonna do that when we are here eating it alive from the inside?” Jon Moxley says that at Anarchy in the Arena, they will paint a picture of the true spirit of professional wrestling, and they will paint it in blood!

 

AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Reyna Isis!

The Open Challenge was put out and it was quickly answered by CMLL’s rising star. But will The CEO just use her as a tune-up for Jamie Hayter and the Women’s Owen Hart Cup? Or will she end up Two Belts Mone against the Queen of Redemption?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Mone wins her own gamble!

The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally, Mone and Isis feel things out, and they tie up. They go around, break, then reset. They circle, talk some smack, then tie up. Isis waistlocks and rolls Mone up, TWO! Mone jumps up and RANAS to a cover, TWO! Mone wheelbarrows to victory roll, TWO! Isis swings, Mone ducks and waistlocks, but Isis drops down to victory roll, TWO! Both women stand and have a stare down while the fans cheer. Isis says watch this. Isis does her dance, and the fans cheer. Mone runs up, Isis dodges but Mone tilt-o-whirls, LA MYSTICA into CROSSFACE! Isis claws at the Statement Maker, then rolls!

Mone THROWS Isis down by her hair, then Mone does her CEO dance. Mone drags Isis up, bumps her off buckles, and then pushes her around. Mone winds up to CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Mone runs, but Isis dodges! Mone ends up in ropes and Isis KICKS her! Isis runs to DOUBLE KNEE Mone! Isis keeps Mone in the ropes, then goes up the corner, GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Isis is frustrated but she drags Mone up. Mone ROCKS Isis! Isis CHOPS Mone! Isis runs, then FLYING HEADBUTTS! And FLYING HEADBUTTS! Cover, TWO! The fans rally, Isis drags Mone up, and Isis underhooks.

Isis lifts for a BUTTERFLY SLAM! Cover, TWO! Mone stays in this but Isis stays focused. Isis drags Mone around, the fans rally, but Isis KNEES low! Isis KNEES Mone, but Mone grabs the leg! The fans cheer as Mone KNEES Isis in return! Mone runs, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS! The fans fire up and Mone runs corner to corner, DOUBLE KNEE! Isis sits down, Mone runs in again, METEORA! Mone pushes Isis out, goes up and leaps into a CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Mone survives but Isis fireman’s carries! Mone flails, slips down, and hits the BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer while Isis stays in this, and Mone is annoyed.

Mone drags Isis up, whips her to ropes, but Isis ducks ‘n’ dodges to then tilt-o-whirl, only for Mone to SLAM her down! And she wrangles her into the STATEMENT MAKER!! Isis TAPS, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission (still AEW TBS Champion)

The CEO makes Isis suffer for pushing her even this hard! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Mone lets go to collect her belts. But wait! Here comes Jamie Hayter! Jamie waves hi and dares Mone to continue where they left off last night. But security rushes out here to stop this! Mone and Jamie shout at each other, but Mone taps the trophy. Will Mone not be denied adding that to her collection?

 

The Sons of Texas speaks.

Dustin Rhodes says, “This marks six years since the very first Double or Nothing. A moment in time that’ll never be forgotten. I’ll also never forget when I made history with my brother. I have given my SOUL for this.” Sammy Guevara says, “We are the Sons of Texas. We are an undefeated tag team, and we are two men who have bene here since day one, since the very beginning, and now here we are, the ROH World Tag Team Champions. But we ant more gold.” Dustin & Sammy earned their shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships and the Hurt Syndicate. These two are the perfect combination of sweat, blood, grit, passion and speed.

Lashley & Shelton like to hurt people? Well have at it! Dustin & Sammy will risk everything every single time they step in that ring to get everything! If you’re a betting man, then bet on the day one guys. Will the Natural & Spanish God become DOUBLE Tag Team Champions? Or will they both get hurt?

 

Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Jay Lethal!

The Protostar steps up for the Callis Family now, and he’s taking on the Franchise Player of ROH! Will the Aussie Arrow take down one of the greats to prove HE is one of the greats? Or will it take just one Lethal Injection to put Kyle down?

The bell rings and the fans cheer on Lethal. Lethal and Kyle circle, feel things out, then Lethal goes for a leg. Kyle fights it with a gut wrench but Lethal slips around to a waistlock.

The CMLL Trios Champions and their amigo in the CMLL Middleweight Champion take down the Mexican National Tag Team and the living legend that leads them! Will these stars shine even brighter once AEW visits Arena Mexico in June?

 

AEW hears from Anna Jay, Harley Cameron, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford.

The Queenslayer says, “Penelope, Megan, we are not finished with you.” The Wild Aussie says, “We’ve still got plenty of fruit left on these vines!” They will have a tag team match with them. The Megasus says when weaklings keep trying, some call it perseverance. Megan just calls it delusion. She has beat them both, but was that not enough? Anna says she doesn’t care who, one of them is getting choked out! Harley says she’s got some grapes of WRATH coming! The Superbad Girl says if they want a match so bad on Sunday, then don’t worry about her. Megan tells them to pray God shows them mercy, because Megan never will. That is, unless they #BowDown!

And so it is official! The Double or Nothing Buy-In will see Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford! Who will win big this Sunday to perhaps even head for golden opportunities for the Summer?

 

Kris Statlander speaks.

“Willow. Who do you think I hang out with? What do you think I do? What’d I ever do to you? Besides spear you off the stage, drop you headfirst onto thumbtacks, and choke you with a chain… You may have a point. But, here’s mine. I’m sorry. I’ve made mistakes, but I am a very dangerous person. So be careful who you push, because they might just push back.” The Galaxy’s Greatest gave a friendly warning, but it was still a warning. Will this #BornAgainKristen find herself ruining her testament over an old grudge?

 

“Speedball” Mike Bailey & Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS La Faccion Ingobernable!

Part two of the double main event is here, and it has even more high-flying, hard hitting lucha libre! Bailey is still getting his shot at Kazuchika Okada and the Continental Championship, but will he and the Commander of the Skies survive this Collision? Or will Rush y Dralistico make sure Bailey is in no shape to face the Rainmaker?

Rush makes his entrance, but where is Dralistico? Dralistico attacks from behind! The fans boo as Dralistico knocks Komander and Bailey down! The bell rings and Dralistico stomps away on Bailey. Dralistico then goes out to ROCK Komander, letting Rush go after Bailey with a whip into railing! Bailey falls but Rush stands him up to THROW into more railing!

A high-speed combo wins it for- WAIT! The coin drops, and here comes Okada! The Continental Champion walks down the ramp, eyes on Bailey in the ring.

The fans are torn, but Bailey KICKS that finger and HEEL KICKS Okada! Okada tumbles out, Bailey builds speed, and Bailey FLIES! Down goes Okada and Bailey stands up with the belt! Will Speedball be too fast to be touched by the rain? Or will no one stop Okada’s reign of terror?


My Thoughts:

A very good Collision considering it is the go-home to Double or Nothing. But that said, it felt like a lot of last-minute promos were shoved onto this. Dustin & Sammy didn’t say anything more than what was said last night on Dynamite, and at least the one from Harley, Anna, Megan & Penelope established their match for The Buy-In. Toni’s was very good, as they always are, but it doesn’t add much from last night as the math already said Toni was winning. Very good promo for the tag team match contract signing, though, with a great brawl as part of it. Nigel & Garcia might win, but I mostly expect Adam Copeland to make his return as part of it.

Very good match from Mercedes VS Isis but it makes sense it wasn’t very long given we knew Mone would win. It was mostly a vehicle for one last confrontation of Hayter and Mone before the PPV. It still feels very likely that Mone wins so that she can face Toni and maybe they go title VS title at All In. Great stuff with the Don Callis Family throughout the night, all members getting wins tonight to stay strong. Great match of Paragon VS GYV, great win for Paragon, and instead of just cutting to the chase of Cole VS someone for the TNT Championship, they’re given us a Six Man Tag. That’s fine, because I expect whoever wins for Don Callis Family is the guy that faces Cole for the TNT Championship either at Fyter Fest or the first-ever “Summer Blockbuster.”

Maybe Excalibur misspoke but I know he called the lucha libre trios match a “main event.” Either way, great CMLL Six Man Tag, and naturally the Faces won that. It was just for a lot of fun, I would’ve thought maybe they could put this on the Buy-In, but it at least makes for good marketing on the road to Grand Slam: Mexico. And great tag match main event from Bailey & Komander VS LFI. Not sure what happened to them doing Titans of the Air, Komander & Hologram as a duo, but that’s typical AEW. Bailey’s team of course won so that he has momentum, and then Okada shows up so that Bailey can also stand tall over him. All that math adds up to Okada retaining at Double or Nothing, but it’ll be a great match for Bailey, too.

My Score: 8.8/10
