PLAY BY PLAY
Christopher Daniels talks with Hangman Page backstage.
The Fallen Angel tells the Cowboy that at All In, when it’s Hangman VS Moxley, Daniels knows Hangman can get it done. But there’s still a lot of time between now and then, and it isn’t just Moxley they have to worry about. There are all the Death Riders, and Hangman can’t fight them all on his own. And no matter what The Young Bucks say, Hangman should know they’re in this for themselves. Daniels wishes he could be there for Hangman, but he can’t. But Hangman still has friends in this locker room that, despite their history, will be there for him. As for those that have… harsh feelings for Hangman, perhaps Hangman should try and rectify that.
Daniels leaves Hangman with that to think on, but can the Cowboy mend those bridges. Wait, Jon Moxley is lurking in the shadows! And he sends his Death Riders to follow Hangman! Will the Maniac make sure All In’s world title match doesn’t even happen? Is that a sign that Mox fears Hangman?
Will Ospreay VS Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana!
Speaking of those allies, The Aerial Assassin is more than ready to back the Hangman’s gambit. However, the Realest has sworn off ever helping The Cowboy with anything, and vice-versa. Can Ospreay convince Swerve that they’re better off together? Or will Ospreay be kicked out of Swerve’s House?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Ospreay and Swerve stare down while the fans chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans lose their minds just from Swerve stepping up and offering a handshake. Ospreay is wary, but he accepts. The fans cheer the sportsmanship, and then the two square up. They keep the wristlock, feel out the grapple, and Ospreay headlocks. Swerve powers up and out but Ospreay RAMS him! Both men bob ‘n’ weave the other’s shots, then Swerve headlocks. Ospreay powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles. Swerve waistlocks, ducks an elbow, and he shoves Ospreay.
Ospreay rolls off Swerve’s back, rolls under, then rolls back to arm-drag! Swerve drags Ospreay down, both men kip up, and Ospreay RANAS! Swerve handsprings through to RANA in return, but Ospreay handsprings through! The fans are thunderous as the two have another stare down! They cheer “A E DUB!” for making this match happen. The two circle again, feel things out, and tie up collar ‘n’ elbow. They are in a deadlock, go around, and Ospreay puts Swerve on the ropes. The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Ospreay lets off. Ospreay swings but Swerve puts Ospreay on the ropes. Swerve lets off slowly, to then DECK Ospreay!

The fans are losing their minds again and Nana’s jaw has dropped, but the Blockbuster goes picture in picture again!
The ref checks both men, and Ospreay’s bloody nose is still a concern. Both men are able to continue, so the ref starts a ring count. Ospreay rises first, and he decides to leave swerve behind!

Time Limit Draw
The fans boo as the thirty minutes are up, sparing Ospreay from the Kill Stomps on the apron! Swerve is frustrated, Nana grabs a mic, and Swerve says, “Oh my God, I’m in so much pain right now… But what we just showed right here, Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, we are the best because AEW is where the best wrestle.” The fans cheer that! Swerve says the only way to prove you’re the best is to finish matches, dammit! Swerve tells Ospreay that they’re both messed up pretty bad, but Swerve knows Ospreay wants to beat Swerve. Swerve says they keep going with sudden death! The fans love that idea, too!
But wait! The Death Riders appear, ready to ruin the fun! Swerve looks around, and here come Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and Jon Moxley. Did they already deal with Hangman Page before coming out here? Are they about to remove all of their enemies in one night? Claudio looms over Ospreay on the outside while Moxley paces. Swerve stands his ground, despite being greatly outnumbered, but then The Young Bucks attack! The fans boo as Matthew & Nicholas knock Swerve down, stomp him around, then sit him up for the E V P TRIGGER!! And they also have handcuffs!?!
Nana drags Swerve to the apron, but Nick SUPERKICKS Nana! The fans boo as now, the Bucks cuff Swerve! A pair for each hand, and they cuff Swerve to the ropes! The Bucks laugh as Swerve is now a prisoner! SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK!! It’s a one-sided Superkick Party, and The Bucks have Yuta pass them his black duffel bag. And from inside the bag, they bring out tack-covered Reeboks! Just like Swerve used on The Bucks at Anarchy in the Arena! Matt says you mess with The Bucks, you end up a dead man! But then OSPREAY gets in to take the DOUBLE SPIKED SUPERKICKS!!!
The fans lose their minds, and even The Bucks are stunned by this! Doc Sampson hurries right into the ring to check on Ospreay, and Swerve is enraged! Portland chants “F THE BUCKS!” while they sheepishly retreat. The Death Riders have also left, the damage done without them lifting a finger. The fans cheer Ospreay on for saving his friendly rival, but is he now out of the fight against the tyranny in AEW?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Renee Paquette is with the AEW Continental Champion and brings up tonight’s contract signing. Set for All In, it will be Kazuchika Okada VS Kenny Omega, Winner Takes All! These two have had some of the most legendary matches in all of professional wrestling, but this will be the first on American soil. Is this version of Okada ready for this version of Omega? Okada says yes, but then Don Callis interrupts. The Jackal apologizes, but to answer this question, he would like to pose his own question: Why is Okada in this match and not Kyle Fletcher? Has Okada had a better 2025 than Kyle Fletcher?
Why is Okada in this match and not Konosuke Takeshita? Has Okada really had a better 2025 than Takeshita? Or maybe Callis should be addressing this line of questioning right at Okada? Why isn’t it Kyle or Konosuke over Okada? This makes Callis sick! Okada takes Callis’ accusatory finger and bends it! But in steps Lance Archer! Then on the other side, it’s Kyle & Konosuke. Callis begs for mercy, Okada lets go, and he calls Callis, “B*tch.” The Rainmaker leaves, is it wise for Callis to get on his bad side? Or will someone in the Callis Family look to take that title off Okada before All In?
Mistico VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The Crown Jewel of CMLL makes his return to AEW, and more than ready for next week’s Grand Slam in Mexico! But will Mistico be shining in the spotlight of this Summer Blockbuster? Or will the Vanilla Babyface sour the mood?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Mistico and Blake circle. They feel things out, then Mistico offers a handshake. Blake says sure, and then he just flips Mistico off! Blake BOOTS Mistico down, whips, but then drops down to hurdle over. Mistico leaps over the monkey flip, but Blake dodges the lariat! Blake RANAS, Mistico flounders, but then Mistico is up to block the chop! Mistico knuckle locks, CHOPS, then goes up the corner. Mistico balances up top, but Blake ARM-DRAGS him down! Blake rains down fists, soaks up the heat, then DECKS Mistico! Blake CHOKES Mistico on the ropes, steps off at the ref’s count, and soaks up more heat.
Mistico sits up to feed off the rally, but Blake DECKS him! Mistico goes to a corner, the fans rally more, but Blake brings Mistico up to whip. Mistico handsprings to BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up, Mistico ducks ‘n’ dodges to then RANA! Blake tumbles, staggers to his feet, but again Mistico blocks and CHOPS! Mistico goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Blake tumbles out of the ring and the fans fire up! Mistico builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp with that true tope suicida! The fans fire up for Mistico while both men are down. Mistico rises, feeds off that energy again, and he puts Blake back in the ring.
Mistico pounds the apron to rally the fans again, then he aims. Blake runs up but Mistico dodges to GAMANGIRI! Mistico springboards to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Mistico keeps the fans going as he stands again. Mistico puts Blake in the drop zone, climbs up the corner, but Big Shotty grabs at him! The fans boo as the ref misses that, and then Blake BOOTS Mistico to the floor! Blake builds speed to FOSBURY TOPE! The fans boo but Blake puts Mistico in the ring! Blake goes up again, springboard and 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Mistico shows why he’s a top tier champion in CMLL, but Blake vows to end this!
Blake goes up the corner again, only for Mistico to GAMANGIRI! Mistico climbs up after Blake, has him on the very top, and hits a SUPER SPANSH FLY! Cover, Mistico wins!
Winner: Mistico, by pinfall
CMLL’s finest certainly makes an impact on the Summer Blockbuster, but wait! The Hurt Syndicate makes their entrance! Montel Vontavious Porter leads the way for Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin & Maxwell Jacob Friedman while Portland sings, “We Hurt~ People!” The All Mighty has the Scumbag stand down a moment, and MVP has a mic. “Attention AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. I won’t be addressing you in this specific situation, because MJF has a message for the cabron in the ring!” The fans boo, but MJF says he is talking now, so thanks, Portland.
MVP demands respect for the Young Genius! MJF tells Mistico that his match was impressive. And it isn’t easy to impress MJF since he’s the most complete pro-wrestler in this sport today. So tell you want, “Misty…” The fans keep booing as MJF says he will give Mistico a match next week in Arena Mexico. MJF looks forward to it, too, because he looks forward to ripping “that dime store mask off your stupid face.” The fans boo more, but MJF says Mistico isn’t just getting any man. He is getting a patriot! For one night only, MJF is dusting off his red white ‘n’ blue just for you, Mistico! MJF says God Bless America! God Bless your American Champion!
But most importantly, God Bless your American Hero, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F! The fans are torn given how MJF is using patriotism to put himself over. The flag and the streamers fly, and then MJF has the music stop while he steps into the ring. The streamers make that a bit tricky but MJF steps to Mistico. Mistico stops MJF there, and snatches the mic! The fans cheer, and he tells “MJF, HAHAHAHA! Sabes que, see you next week in Mexico City, en mi casa, Arena Mexico!” MVP has to translate the next part for MJF, and it isn’t very nice. MJF tells Mistico he might think he’s a big deal, but MJF grew up watching him on TV!
To MJF, this isn’t mystical Mistico! This is just sloppy Sin Cara! And now, much like the Star-Spangled Banner, he’s about to get dropped! But Mistico blocks the sucker punch to UPPERCUT MJF! Lashley & Shelton attack and they stomp Mistico down! The fans boo while Lashley and Shelton sit Mistico up! MJF wants the mask as a trophy! But wait! Here comes #JetSpeed! Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight rush in from the crowd side, Mascara Dorada by their side! TRIPLE PLANCHAS onto the Hurt Syndicate! The fans fire up and refs clean up this mess of streamers! The Hurt Syndicate apparently took out Komander earlier today, will Dorada & #JetSpeed make them pay?
Six Man Tag: The Hurt Syndicate VS JetSpeed & Mascara Dorada!
The trios sort out and MJF shouts about one in, one out! MJF starts against Dorada, and… Is MJF wearing ring gear a la MVP’s style? The bell rings, but then everyone rushes in and brawls! Lashley is after Speedball, Shelton has Knight, and MJF beats down Dorada! Lashley TOSSES Bailey out, then pursues, and Shelton whips Knight hard into a corner! MJF soaks up the heat with a smug grin and flexing, and Shelton scoop SLAMS Knight on the floor! Lashley THROWS Bailey into railing! MVP joins commentary and says MJF decided to make this a big party. The fans chant “YOU LOOK STUPID!” at MJF and MJF tells them to shut up, no one asked them!
MJF scoops Dorada to SLAM him, then drags Dorada up again. MJF slaps Dorada around, but Dorada ROCKS him in return! Dorada runs up, MJF handsprings to dodge!

The fans fire up as Knight SLIDING SHOULDERS! Bailey STANDING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO! MJF stays in this but Bailey stays between him and the Hurt Syndicate. Bailey KICKS, KICKS, and then bumps MJF off buckles. Tag to Dorada, and Dorada springboards to AX HANDLE! Dorada fires the fans up, but MJF CLAWS Dorada’s eyes! MJF puts Dorada in the corner, then claims Dorada got him in his eyes! This distracts the ref so Lashley can TOSS Dorada to the floor! The fans go nuts seeing that crash landing, and Lashley shrugs while the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture.
Bailey protests but the ref keeps him back. MJF tags Lashley, Lashley RAMS Dorada into the barriers, then whips him into the steel steps! Dorada flounders, Lashley storms over, and Lashley has Bailey and Knight back up. Lashley puts Dorada in the ring, stomps him, then RAMS Dorada into an open corner. Lashley RAMS Dorada again and again, then fires hands! Lashley reels Dorada in, suplexes, and stalls for a count of TEN before the SLAM! Cover, TWO! Dorada stays in this but Lashley is just amused. Tag to MJF and he runs, runs, and runs… to then just poke Dorada in the eyes! MJF flips off Portland while stepping on Dorada.
MJF drags Dorada up, tags Shelton, and they mug Dorada. Shelton stands Dorada up, Dorada fires hands and forearms, but Shelton fires in return! Shelton whips, then he FLAPJACKS Dorada! Dorada flounders, Shelton covers, Knight breaks it! Shelton is annoyed but he drags Dorada back. Shelton stomps Dorada, tags MJF, and MJF CLAWS Dorada’s back! Tag to Lashley and he stands Dorada for a NECKBREAKER! Lashley flexes, Dorada crawls, but Lashley mocks him. Lashley then BLASTS #JetSpeed off the corner! Lashley puts Dorada in the corner, runs corner to corner, and he RAMS Dorada!
Dorada flops to the mat, Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture, and MJF tags in. MJF runs and shouts out MVP, “BALLIN~!” ELBOW DROP MISSES! MVP plays off that airball like it’s no big deal, but MJF drags Dorada back. MJF swings, Dorada dodges, but MJF grabs Dorada’s hand! Dorada reaches for his team, ROCKS MJF, and repeat! And repeat! MJF then puts up his guard, but that lets Dorada hot tag Knight! Knight rallies on MJF with LARIAT after LARIAT! Knight whips, MJF reverses, but Knight goes up and over! Knight hurdles MJF then DROPKICKS him down! The fans fire up and MVP admits, that was good.
Knight runs, UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! MJF stays in this, Knight coordinates with Bailey, and Knight brings MJF up, MJF swings, Knight ducks and waistlocks. Knight pushes MJF to the ropes for Bailey to ROCK! Knight then winds up, but MJF dodges! Hot tag to Lashley, but then both AEW World Tag Team Champions step in! Bailey tags in so he can step up with Knight! They LARIAT, but the champs stay put! JetSpeed then dodges the Hurt Syndicate to DOUBLE SUPERKICK!

Mistico gets away, having gotten a semblance of revenge for CMLL and himself! Will Mistico humble the Scumbag in front of the people of Mexico? Or will MJF show us that hurting people is a universal language?
Hangman Page heads to the ring!
But now he’s getting jumped by the Death Riders! We saw them stalking him earlier, but only now do they strike! The fans boo as Claudio drags Hangman up to his feet, and we see that he’s been gagged with duct tape, and his hands are tied behind his back! The beating is one-sided, and Claudio even uses a stage speaker to SMASH Hangman in the legs! Then the Death Riders RAM Hangman into the apron! They shove Hangman into the ring, and Moxley takes his time following after his minions. Moxley paces, mic in hand, and he has the mugging stop. “Terribly sorry about all this. It’s just that I wanna make sure that we can have a real conversation. Y’know how distracted you can get.
“Your head’s all over the place. You’re worried about everybody else but yourself. We need you focused. These people need you focused! Because this is your time. All In, the AEW World Championship. For you, this is do or die.” The fans tell Moxley to shut up, but the mugging just continues. Moxley says he’s been watching Hangman, and Hangman is… complicated. Moxley doesn’t understand Hangman he doesn’t like Hangman. The “Millennial Cowboy,” right? For a long time now, Hangman has been searching high and low for something. Moxley doesn’t know what it is, but Hangman has exactly four weeks to find it.
Moxley tells Hangman he has four weeks to step up and become the man everybody here wants you to become. And if he’s not prepared to do that, then he can pack his s*it and get the hell out! Hangman RISING HEADBUTTS Moxley!! Moxley falls, the Death Riders swarm him again, and then Claudio grabs a chair! They put the chair around Hangman’s head! The fans boo but Moxley has Claudio stand down. It seems Moxley still wants All In to happen after all. But then the sound of thunder summons the Opps! Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Hobbs run The Death Riders off!
The fans fire up as the AEW World Trios Champions have Hangman’s back! Moxley leaves it at this, because his message was sent. But then Hangman grabs a mic to shout, “I have come too far and I am too close for that to be the best that you got! Because I would ride through DEATH ITSELF to take that world championship!!” The fans cheer, and Hangman says if he finds even one Death Rider tonight, eh will take their heads! Hangman grabs that chair Claudio was going to use, and now he’s on the hunt! Will Hangman make sure “The One True King of AEW” loses some pawns on the road to All In: Texas?

AEW takes a look at the history of Okada VS Omega.
“In the professional wrestling world, once in a great while, there are rivalries that are not merely captivating. Some cross the threshold into something more. Something generational. Something… legendary. For Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada, they found this kind of rivalry. Okada established himself as an ace of NJPW, having held the promotion’s top prize seven times. Of Japan’s long lineage of some of the greatest wrestlers to walk the earth, Kazuchika Okada put himself firmly near the top of that list.
“Enter Kenny Omega. The outsider, who would lead a Bullet Club of other outsiders. They would meet many times across from each other as part of teams, yet a one-on-one meeting of these titans of NJPW was inevitable. After becoming the first gaijin to ever win the renowned G1 Climax, Omega was already on course to a career making showdown. The event? WrestleKingdom 11 at the Tokyo Dome. That match? Game changing.” Okada would win that true instant classic, and promised to make it rain in NJPW so long as he was part of it. “In an epic rematch, the champion, Okada, chose Omega for his challenger.
“Little did he know how far it would push his own limits.” Don Callis was even there to help call the match that determined the future of NJPW, and pro-wrestling as a whole. NJPW Dominion 2017 would end in a ONE HOUR TIME-LIMIT DRAW! And as fate would have it, later that year in the G1 Climax, a final round block match would see these two meet again. The trilogy did not disappoint, and Omega would win. Three classics, 1-1-1 was the record, so the only way to determine who was truly the better man, Okada and Omega agreed to a NO TIME LIMIT, Best 2 Out of 3 Falls, and NJPW Dominion 2018!
After pushing past limits and then some, going to the final fall and well over an hour, it would be Omega’s win to finally become IWGP Heavyweight Champion! “In the wake of their battles, their paths would diverge.” Omega helped found AEW, Okada continued to make it rain in NJPW, “but with any true rival, eventually you find your way back.” Okada decided to be All Elite with The Elite, and now this rivalry will truly solidify itself as legend. “A stadium show for the ages. Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, Rainmaker, Best Bout Machine, one more time!”
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
AEW returns and Schiavone welcomes us back to the Summer Blockbuster. The table is already set, the belts are already on display, and there’s something underneath a familiar shroud. Schiavone is honored to be here for the Winner Takes All contract signing, Okada VS Omega, live on Saturday, July 12th, part of All In: Texas. This is the most anticipated match in AEW, so first of all, welcome out the Continental Champion, Kazuchika Okada! The fans cheer as The Rainmaker makes his way out to the ring. Schiavone now welcomes out the International Champion, Kenny Omega! The fans cheer again as now the Best Bout Machine gets all that pyro!
Omega high-fives some fans before he joins Okada and Schiavone in the ring. Each champion stands by their belt, and Schiavone again says it is an honor to preside over this contract signing. But before that, this is a winner takes all match. So at All In, the winner will be crowned the first-ever AEW Unified Champion! Schiavone reveals the brand new belt and the fans lose their minds just looking at it! Schiavone says it is time to sign the contract. They’ve both read it over, so Okada may sign first. Okada does just that, then passes the contract over to Omega. Omega takes the mic first to say, “Seven years. Seven years almost to the day, we had our last match.”
Omega says watching that video package, he barely recognized himself. But when it comes to this match, they’ll leave it all in the ring one last time, for everything. Omega then signs his part, and it is official! The two men step up and Omega offers a handshake. Okada considers it, and he takes it! The fans cheer the sportsmanship, and then both men pull the other in close. They talk a bit of trash, but wait! The Don Callis Family makes their way out here? The fans boo as The Jackal steps out on stage, mic in hand. Callis smirks and nods, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans also have something to say: “F DON CALLIS!”
Callis tells Portland to be quiet but they just keep going. Callis tells Kenny that he should be ashamed of himself! This match should not be between Omega and Okada! This should be Omega VS Takeshita or Omega VS Kyle! Omega throws off his jacket and tells Callis to cut the crap! He has heard enough! Everyone has! The fans cheer that! Callis says Omega should face Kyle or Takeshita! Omega says yeah, of course, it’s all about Kyle and Takeshita now. But the thing is, Omega’s been there, done that, beaten them, and Callis will not ruin this match! If those guys want their shot at the belt, they have to get in line like everyone else.
But for this match at All In, it is Omega VS Okada! There is not one trick Callis can play to ruin it! Omega knows all of Callis’ tricks, and so do all the fans! Oh, Omega knows all of Callis’ tricks?! Well, kid, you don’t know this one! Okada CLOBBERS Omega with the Continental Championship belt! The fans boo, but it would seem that confrontation was a facade! And now Callis brings out a baton! He hands it to Okada, then he stands Omega up! Okada winds up to SMASH Omega in the stomach! The fans boo as Okada drags Omega up to CLUB him on the back! The fans chant at Okada, “You Sold Out!” Medics rush in and Callis has Okada stand down.
Callis and Okada leave together while a backboard and stretcher are brought out for Omega. Omega doesn’t want to be carried away but his stomach and lower midsection are still a concern after his diverticulitis surgery. But wait, Okada isn’t done! He goes up the corner! Callis is gleeful as Okada hits the MACHO ELBOW while Omega is on the backboard! The fans boo more and the medical team reprimands Okada. Christopher Daniels storms out here and tells them to back off! They’ve done enough, and if they do any more, there will be consequences! Callis threatens Daniels with the baton! Daniels says he may be retired but he can still mess Callis up!
Callis steps outside, and he intimidates the medics and even Michael Nakazawa! And then Okada SHOVES Daniels down! MACHO ELBOW from the apron!! Omega falls off the stretcher and to the floor, and he vomits blood!! The fans lose their minds while Okada just smiles watching the results of his psychotic actions! Okada & Callis finally leave, the medics get Omega out of there, and Alex Marvez catches Callis & Okada as they reach the parking lot. That was absolutely disgusting! What is wrong with them?! Callis says get away from him! They’re gonna get killed in here, they gotta go! Callis & Okada get in Callis’ car and he tells the driver to go!
The car practically peels out of the parking garage and off into the night! Will Callis make Okada the future Unified Continental & International Champion by any means necessary? Or will Omega still be able to go All In?
Adam Cole is here!
Portland cheers up seeing the AEW TNT Champion make his way out here, and they join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” Cole is here to watch this next match, who takes a step closer to the TNT Championship after this Collision?
Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The fans are torn but Kyle tells Billy to “SUCK IT!” Bowens has Billy calm down, he can handle this. Billy says that’s Kyle’s one warning. Bowens and Kyle circle, tie up, and Kyle turns things around, only for Bowens to turn things back around. Bowens now rolls back and he scissor fingers!

And then Electric Chai Lift, and SLAM off the apron! Kyle is dazed and Bowens pushes him in the ring. Bowens LARIATS Kyle inside-out! Cover, TWO!

Carlos Cabrera is in the ring.
The former AAA commentator, now All Elite, thanks Portland for the reception, and says in just seven days, we will see a wonderful collaboration of AEW and CMLL. The fans cheer that, and Cabrera adds that when we talk about this collaboration, nothing comes to mind better than introducing to us a star that has decades in this business and is still going. His debut was FOUR decades ago, and he is the Idol of Children, for the young love him so much, but so do fans of all ages. In Cabrera’s book, this is one of the best ever, with so many accomplishments and championships in his career. A person who has taken many masks of most importance in lucha libre.
And in Cabrera’s opinion, this person is a real, truly living legend! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome out Atlantis! The fans cheer as the OG Atlantis makes his way out, accompanied by his son, Atlantis Jr! The Atlantis familia go to the ring to join Cabrera, and Cabrera says this is a huge, historic collaboration. Who better to talk about that than- FTR? Stokely Hathaway, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood take their interrupting to a new level, and #BigStoke has the mic to ask, “Did I hear the words, ‘living legend?’ Because there’s only two living legends that I know of, and they are standing right next to me!”
Stoke leads the way into the ring as he excuses Cabrera. Stoke says that Atlantis Sr. has that look in his eyes. It is either excitement, or the look of someone so old, they’re about to defecate themselves on national television. The fans boo but FTR laughs. Stoke says he gets it, Atlantis is scared, and he has every single reason to be scared! He will give a synopsis of everything FTR has accomplished the past few weeks. They took out the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express! They took out Nigel McGuinness at Double Or Nothing! And ever since then, they turned Nigel into a “pill popper.” Stoke says yes, Nigel has been popping sleeping pills hoping that he’ll wake up in 2002, the last time he was relevant!
The fans boo more, but Stoke says Daniel Garcia hasn’t been the same since Double Or Nothing! Wanna know why? Because Garcia has contemplated early retirement! And if the rumors are true, that OnlyFans link will drop any day now! And Copeland, where is he? Where’s Cope? When’s he coming back? What’s he up to? Stoke will tell us what Cope is up to: Staring at a wall, his brain sizzling like a fajita plate from Chili’s! What a great list of accomplishments! But there is one more thing that this great team has to accomplishment. They have performed in every single major arena, all except for Arena Mexico.
And FTR doesn’t have a match yet, but what they want, they always get! And it doesn’t matter how they do it! Dax takes the mic to say that obviously, Big Stoke here is a little upset. The fans boo but Dax says relax, give him a minute. Stoke is upset, but Dax is actually rather excited about this partnership. The fans tell FTR to STFU, but Cash shouts, “HE’S TALKING!!” Dax says he likes this partnership of AEW and CMLL! CMLL is the oldest wrestling promotion in the world! Which is funny, because Atlantis Sr. might be the oldest wrestler in the world. But hey, sorry, he’s digressing.
Dax just wants to get to know them. He makes introductions, and he wants to know is if FTR were to wrestle back when Atlantis started in the 1930s, how would they have faired? Dax pulls the usual “Because I think” move, saying FTR would’ve done pretty damn well. Whether it was against Villano, Blue Panther Sr, Santo, FTR would’ve beaten ’em all and made Atlantis their bag boy. Speaking of that, at 62 years old, Atlantis Sr. is still going strong. So Dax’s next question is, at 61 years old, how many Depends does he go through? Father and son have had enough, they start throwing hands! The fans fire up as Senior has Dax while Junior has Cash!
But Cash CLAWS Junior in the eyes, then he attacks Senior! FTR mugs Senior, then Cash goes up! Cole says screw this, and he jumps off commentary to get in there! He fires hands on Dax, then on Cash, and repeat! The fans fire up, but the Don Callis Family rushes out here! Konosuke & Kyle mug Cole, Hechicero joins in, and then FTR stomps away on Atlantis Junior! And on Atlantis Senior! But then Bandido y Templario appear! They DOUBLE SUPERKICK Hechicero! Then they dodge #ProtoShita to BOOSTED SHOTGUN DROPKCIK! TEMPLAROONI! But FTR attack the luchadores! The fans boo as it is chaos, but here comes Brody King!
The fans fire up as the King of Death fires hands on the Don Callis Family and FTR! Bandido TOSSES Cash, Atlantis Senior gets payback on Dax! Bandido helps Templario go up top, then Bandido DIVES! Templario SUPER CROSSBODIES! Dax finds he’s all alone with everybody else! Senior says uno momento, he wants his shot! Dax says bet, and he runs up on Senior! Senior dodges to then SPINEBUSTER! And he rains down fists! Dax scrambles out of there, but Senior still goes after him! Dax runs but can’t get away, Atlantis Senior’s still got that fire! Dax hops the railing, but Senior still wants him! This brawl heads backstage!
Atlantis Junior goes to help his father, and Cole tells the Don Callis Family to just wait and see how things go later tonight! Will the Paragon make sure the family pays for what Callis & Okada did earlier tonight?
Backstage interview with Big Bill & Bryan Keith.
Lexy Nair is with the Redwood & Bad Apple, and says they asked for this time, so what is on their mind? Bill says they promised to crack skulls and stack W’s, and that is what they did to the Gates of Agony. Keith says for just a second in that Street Fight, he didn’t think he was gonna make it. But he appreciates Bill has his back. Bill says he always has BK’s back. But that was only one W. ONE! If there’s another team out there that thinks- Oh, there is a team! JD Drake & Anthony Henry step in! Drake says it’s like they’ve seen a ghost!
Don’t let the fact that the Workhorsemen haven’t been in an AEW ring in over a YEAR lead you to believe that they aren’t two men who are obsessed with success. Fellas, that’s not an option where these two come from. So uh, if Bill & BK wanna have it their way, Drake & Henry are ready to punch in, and knock out! BK says bet! Bill says if they wanna get their skulls cracked, then by all means. CRACK CRACK! Drake says okay, see y’all soon. But will Scrap Metal & The Saint of Augusta chop down what’s left of the Learning Tree?
Mercedes Mone is here!
And just like last time, she’s going to be ringside to watch the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion. But will she like the “spinoff” that’s about to play? Or will she have a hand in changing the ending?
Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Julia Hart w/ Skye Blue!
Toni stops by Mone’s table for one and takes a taste of the mashed potatoes. But that’s when Julia & Skye strike! The fans boo but Mone loves it as Skye rains down fists on Toni! The ref reprimands, drags Skye off Toni, but then Julia attacks! The ref EJECTS Skye and the fans cheer! Julia is furious but the fans cheer on “AUBREY! AUBREY!” The ref tells Julia to back off, Mone is upset that her potatoes are ruined, but Julia says oops, guess the match is over. Toni is in rough shape, Mone mockingly asks if she’s okay, and Toni sits up. The fans cheer Toni on, Mone tells them to shut up, and then she sips her red wine.
Aubrey checks on Toni, Julia waits for the final verdict, and Toni steadies herself. Toni rolls into the ring, refusing to let cheap shots ruin her scene. “Ring the bloody bell already!” The bell indeed rings, and Julia is right on Toni in the corner! Julia fires hands, but Toni turns things around! Julia trips Toni, stomps away, then makes sure Toni is in the drop zone. Julia climbs while Mone applauds, HARTSAULT! Cover, TWO!! Toni survives and Julia snarls. Julia CLUBS away on Toni, the fans rally up, and Julia whips Toni, only for Toni to SHOTGUN! Julia tumbles, Toni runs and HIP ATTACKS Julia to the floor!
The fans fire up and Toni says, “We’ll be right back! Stay tuned, darling!” And just as the leading lady says, the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture!
Mone tells Toni to back off, but Toni runs up on Julia. Julia dodges and the hip attack hits steps! Julia grins as she drags Toni up into the ring. Julia dribbles Toni off the mat, then covers, TWO! Toni toughs it out but Julia clamps on with a chinlock. Toni endures, Mone enjoys more of her meal, but Toni fires body shots. Julia CLUBS Toni, wrenches and YANKS the arm, then brings Toni to a corner. Julia climbs up, knuckle locks the hand, and she tightrope walks. Julia goes OLD SCHOOL for the ax handle! Then a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Julia grows frustrated but Mone says that’s the way. The fans rally for Toni while Julia bends her back with a CAMEL CLUTCH!
Toni endures, claws at the mat, and Mone munches asparagus while Toni RAMS Julia into a corner! Toni fires elbows, but Julia bumps her off buckles! Julia fires forearms, then stomps a mudhole in. Julia digs her boot in, the ref counts, and Julia steps off at 4 while AEW goes to break.
The Summer Blockbuster returns and Julia wrenches to RAM shoulders with Toni! And RAMS, and RAMS! Toni falls, Julia stands her up to wrench and bring her back to a corner. Julia climbs, throws more shots, then goes back to the top. Julia tightrope walks again, but Toni says no more Old School as she trips Julia up! Toni shakes the ropes to jam up Hart’s throne! Toni then drags Julia up for a GERMAN SUPLEX! And another GERMAN SUPLEX! And then a SAIDO! Mone frowns but the fans fire up as Toni reels Julia in, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect but the fans rally up all the same!

But then Mone storms in to go after #MinaNow! Mone HAMMERS away on the former Rev-Pro British Women’s Champion and TOSSES her out!

Lexy Nair is now with the One & Only, and says he has made it abundantly clear that he wants to recruit people to his side to ultimately- Ricochet stops her there and says yes, everyone already knows that Ricochet is searching for the perfect group of individuals to help make his quest for gold a reality. But then in steps Lee Johnson & Blake Christian. Big Shotty tells Ricochet that hey, he and Blake peeped Ricochet being ringside for Lee’s match last week. They know he saw what they can do, and Blake says that maybe, they don’t need something but someone.
Ricochet stops them there, and he says yes, he is searching for the perfect “ultra athletes” to help him navigate through the “unjust waters” of AEW. Honestly, he has been watching them for a long, long time. Recently, a lot of people have been putting Ricochet onto them, showing him their stuff, because they are impressing the right people in the right places. Ricochet says that it is rather embarrassing to see two grown men go out there, week in and week out, playing make-believe Ricochet. And although they were impressive in the ring, there is something they are just missing. AHA~! Ricochet leaves, but will he regret dissing Big Shotty & Vanilla Babyface?

AEW shares footage from after Fyter Fest.
AEW Media found Kris Statlander on her way out, and asked her if she had a minute to talk. Kris grumbled in frustration and asked what they wanted to talk to her about. They wanna talk about Willow Nightingale? Kris has tried to make amends, but Willow says she’s done with Kris, so Kris is done with that. Why not talk about the fact that she is still Kris Statlander! And let’s remember that there is no one else on this roster like Kris Statlander! So why isn’t that good enough!? But then Wheeler Yuta walked in. He wanted her to calm down and asked if she’s alright.
Yuta knows things have been tough since losing Willow, and since losing Best Friends. Things had worked out more or less for her, and things have worked out more or less for Yuta. But he had to make a lot of tough choices to get where he is, so if she ever needs any advice- Kris shrugs Yuta right off, but he says he’ll be here for her. And here’s one for free: Forget about what others think of you, just make your own choices. Kris says yeah, whatever. She pushes past Yuta, but then stares down Marina Shafir. Kris pushes past her, too, but will The Death Riders become a problem for the Galaxy’s Greatest?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette is now with The CEO, and there is a lot to unpack about what Mone did out there earlier. But what did Mone whisper in Toni’s ear? Mone says she doesn’t kiss and tell. But Toni got what she deserved. And at All In: Texas, Mone gets everything that she wants. Well, there is also another thing, given that Mone put the challenge out there to Zeuxis for the CMLL Women’s World Championship. Yes, that is right! But wait! Zeuxis is here! Mone chuckles and says, “Hola, p*ta.” Zeuxis smiles and tells Mone, “Challenge accepted. B*TCH!” Then she DECKS Mone!! Zeuxis says see you at Grand Slam! Will the Warrior Goddess derail the Money Train in Mexico?
AEW returns and…
Renee Paquette is now outside the medical trainers’ room, hoping for an update on Will Ospreay after he took those spiked Reeboks to the face. But Hangman Page storms up, and he asks how Ospreay’s doing. Renee says she doesn’t know, she- But then The Bucks step in and Matt says he had no idea The Death Riders were gonna do that. Hangman tells The Bucks to tell him in five words or less why he shouldn’t take their heads off! Oh, okay, how about this? They were aiming for Swerve. Y’know, the guy they kept busy for two months so Hangman could have a clear shot at winning The Owen Hart Cup?
Prince Nana pokes his head out from the medical room to hear some of this, but then slips back inside before he’s spotted. Matt tells Hangman that hey, you’re welcome! And don’t forget: All Hangman has to do now is stick the landing. All he has to do now is win the world title and bring it to The Elite. Y’know? The real plan? WHAT real plan!? There is and never has been a “plan” between them! Hangman doesn’t hear from The Bucks in months, never asked for them to do what they did at Dynasty, and sure as s*it didn’t ask them to do anything tonight. Hangman cannot believe he has to tell these two again: Stay out of his business! Stay out of Ospreay’s business!
And for that matter, stay out of Swerve’s business. And if they don’t, if Hangman ever burns down a home again… He’ll make sure they’re trapped in it first. Hangman storms off and Matt says okay, Hangman just made his bed. Nana again sneaks a peak at this, and then he goes to tell Swerve. Did Swerve hear any of that? Swerve says, “Every word.” Then will The Realest finally realize Ospreay was right? Is Hangman not the enemy?
Thekla VS Queen Aminata!
Welcome to her parlor, said the Toxic Spider to the entire AEW Women’s Division! She struck down Jamie Hayter, melted Lady Frost, but will she take a bite out of the One True African Queen? Or will she get stomped on and thrown away with the trash?

Winner: Thekla, by submission
Aminata tried to squash the spider, but the venom took effect soon enough! A gritty second match here in AEW, will Thekla not stop until she’s caught all of AEW in her web?

Backstage interview with Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian.
Lexy Nair is with the ROH World Television Champion and his Superbad stepbrother in the Patriarchy. Last week, Christian Cage said something about a surprise Kip had for Nick upon his return from Japan. Is that surprise ready this week? Before Kip can answer, Nick asks where Christian even is tonight. Kip says Christian decided to give Nick some space this week. After all the hard work Nick has put in the last couple of months, he deserves it. Um, okay. Then where is his mom? Christian said he was going to put in some “hard work” with her as well, so- What?! No, that’s besides the point! Tonight is the big surprise!
Tonight, we are here to see Nick’s Best of the Super Juniors highlight reel! The video is cued up, and from his win over THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, El Desperado, to the great match with Kevin Knight where he… lost… Well, Nick does like how it looked. Did Kip do all that for him? Yep! Nick says he loves it. Kip says that is what brothers are for! Christian also wanted Nick to know that he really is proud of him. Kip doesn’t know where he’d be without Christian. And we don’t really know where Nick would be without him, either. Kip leaves, and Nick feels like that wasn’t quite a compliment. Will the Prodigy have to take it up with “Father” the next time we see him?

The Don Callis Family will team with FTR against Adam Cole, Daniel Garcia, Brody King, Bandido, Templario and Atlantis Junior! Will the Don Callis Family prove they’re living legends just like Cash & Dax? Or will someone take the #TopGuysOut?
My Thoughts:
A great special for this “Summer Blockbuster,” but… for all the hype they put on it, they didn’t bother booking this as one giant 4 hour show. Instead, it was just like last week’s Fyter Fest: they booked a wild Dynamite followed by a typical Collision. They did keep some throughlines, such as the Hangman-Ospreay-Swerve story, and all this stuff with the Don Callis Family, which were perhaps the strongest parts of the night. Ospreay VS Swerve to open with the planned time limit draw was a good call, especially with The Bucks and Death Riders getting involved, but then having it revealed that The Death Riders captured Hangman in a later segment was a bit weird, maybe even redundant.
Why not have the Death Riders drag Hangman out there while they were about to attack Ospreay and Swerve? They could’ve made Hangman watch as they set Swerve up and then Ospreay “takes the bullet” for Swerve. You could even still have The Opps rush out there to stop it all, giving a better set-up for the Grand Slam 10 Man Tag. And you can even still have Hangman go hunting for Death Riders (not that he found them after that moment), and you still get the promo with Hangman confronting The Bucks and Swerve overhearing it all. That all said, that is a good move, because now Swerve knows Hangman isn’t in cahoots with The Elite, and we’re a step closer to Swerve and Hangman working together.
But speaking of that, I didn’t really like the plot twist of Okada being on Callis’ side with all this. I get that Okada wants to be the Heel in this situation, but couldn’t he be a Heel and oppose Callis at the same time? Though, the sheer shock value of Omega coughing up all that prop blood was wild. As for this “Unified Championship,” someone tell that nerd, TK, that you don’t call it “Winner Takes All” and then claim there will be a unified title. You call it a UNIFICATION match and then do that. “Winner Takes All” would mean that one person is a double champion, defending both belts either together or in double headers.
As far as the belt’s design, the main plate looks great, and TK clearly insists on the picture of a crown being included. The side plates featuring Omega’s One Winged Angel and Okada’s Rainmaker clearly labels this as “The Omega and Okada belt” so what’s even the point of any of this other than to say AEW is punctuating their legendary feud? It’s almost as bad as the overly gigantic “Crown Jewel Championships” the Saudi princes had WWE use. Almost. That said, Omega has to win this Unified title now given how badly Okada beat him up.
The Don Callis Family sure came out on top tonight, though. Kyle VS Bowens was great stuff, great win for Kyle. And then the 8 Man Tag that was the main event of the whole night was also great, with a naturally cheated win by the Callis Family. That confrontation in the middle of Collision with FTR and the Atlantis family was rather wild, and that 12 Man Tag will be great stuff. The Hurt Syndicate of course won their Six Man Tag, but a shame that Komander was legitimately out with injury. The backstage attack shown on socials is a good cover, hopefully it isn’t too serious. And Mistico gets the better of MJF tonight, so chances are, MJF cheats to win in Mexico.
Good promo from Ricochet with Blake & Lee, and I should’ve figured Ricochet’s ego would make him see himself so far above them. Though, to be fair, it is a shame Blake is undefeated in ROH this year, yet jobber to the stars on AEW. I not for the ROH World TV title being in the Patriarchy story with Nick Wayne and Christian Cage, I bet Blake would already be champ. But speaking of, good promo from Nick and Kip to not only plug Nick’s time in NJPW, but to also add a bit more heat to the story. Nick might be able to stomach Christian being so condescending to him, but he’s not about to let Christian hook up with his mom! I suspect we get a Title VS Freedom from The Patriarchy match as part of the blowoff.
Very good “standby match” from Bandido VS Mortos, and I suppose it really was put together to fill time, the ending seemed a little uncertain. Bandido of course wins to stay strong going into both Grand Slam: Mexico, but also into the title story that is brewing with MXM TV. MXM TV VS Conglomeration was also a very good Mixed Six that might’ve also been a “standby” match. But it was a good win for the Conglomeration, and a good segue into Kris Statlander’s promo. Though, maybe it wasn’t timed the best when we saw Kris still watching the Mixed Six. Why not wait to do such a promo tonight? Have Yuta & Marina confront Kris, but also add a bit where Hangman is storming by and the Death Riders run for it? Add intrigue to things where Kris doesn’t tell Hangman where they went!
And great stuff from the Women’s Division tonight. One match in the Dynamite half, two for Collision, and all great stuff. TayJay gets a great win off Megan & Ford, mostly because of Ford being cocky. I would think we build to yet another classic Women’s Tag Team Street Fight, but maybe that concept is overused. Maybe they go a step further and make it a Women’s Tag Cage? Thekla VS Aminata was awesome, a lot more than I expected, but that helped both women here. Thekla is on that debut push, Aminata needs to stay strong while waiting on the Women’s Pure Championship tournament, best of both worlds right here.
Toni VS Julia was really good, what with Skye helping attack beforehand and them playing up that Toni might’ve been unable to continue. I still feel like Toni should’ve been watching while Mone was in a Title Eliminator situation, but I suppose it works since Toni’s gimmick is movies. And it works that Mone’s whole gimmick is not being a fighting champion but a spoiled rich girl. Zeuxis does get her back for calling her out, though, and Mone VS Zeuxis is going to be a great match. I hope for Zeuxis’ sake, she wins next week, as Mone held onto that NJPW Strong Women’s title and still is holding onto the Rev-Pro Women’s title for a long time. Seriously, is Mone going to hold the British title until Forbidden Door: London?

Megan and Hyan are both down while the fans rally up! Megan and Hyan crawl, hot tags to Lena and Maya!
The fans fire up as Maya ducks under, UP KICKS, then SOBATS and BOOTS! Lena just scowls, but Maya ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl RANA Lena to a corner! Maya UPPERCUTS, whips, but Lena reverses! Maya goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Maya handsprings up and the fans cheer her on! Maya runs in and BACK BODY BLOCKS! Megan runs up but is sent into Lena! Maya BACK BODY BLOCKS again, then tags Hyan! Hyan tunes up, roars and runs around the world for a KNEE! Maya goes up, BLOCKBUSTER LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cover, TWO! Lena survives but Hyan coordinates with Maya.

Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Hyan & Maya put up quite the fight, but they could not overcome these demigods! Will Megan & Lena always stand atop the mountain like true Olympians? Or will a team find the secret to dethroning the Divine Dominion?
The truest, most basic battle has always been between right and wrong.
Two sides of a coin decide an entire future. But which side dictates righteousness? Is it a soldier of fortune? Or a soldier of ambition? A toxic entity? Or justified aggressor? Is it the revenge seekers? Or the perpetrators of the original sin? A devil or a god? No matter the side you stand, the only way to prove right or wrong is through the other side. Tonight, AEW builds its Dynasty!
Kazuchika Okada & Konosuke Takeshita VS The Young Bucks!
Don Callis joins commentary so he can watch his Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen put down Matt & Nick Jackson, all in the name of avenging Kyle Fletcher! But will the incentive of Okada VS Takeshita be enough to hold the team together? Or will Vancouver be throwing a Superkick Party?
The teams sort out and the fans are already losing their minds over this dream match. Konosuke and Nick start and circle as the fans rally. They tie up, Nick headlocks, but Konosuke powers out.

Konosuke switches, Nick switches, Matt runs up, SUNSET GERMAN SUPLEX! Then The Bucks DOUBLE LARIAT Konosuke up and out! The fans fire up while Okada regroups with Takeshita. Nick and Matt work together, MONKEY FLIP ASAI MOONSAULT! The fans are thunderous again but Callis gets pissed! Nick drags Konosuke up and puts him in the ring.

Willow Nightingale speaks.
“Kamille, if you wanted a title shot, if you wanted a fight, all you had to do was ask. Because as so many other girls have already learned, if you wanna make a comeback at my expense, it’s not as easy as just blindsiding me. I will kill your comeback before it even gets out of the gate. I may not be 100%, but I will be clear this Wednesday. So if you wanna hop on the welcome wagon, Miss American Gladiator, I’ll see you at Spring Break Thru!” The Babe with the Power is going to get her payback, but will she keep her title? Or will there be a new Face of TBS?

Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Whether you agree with the talk of Devil and God of AEW, it is very clear that MJF is a sinner for all the crimes he committed just to hold onto his gold! Will Kenny Omega ever have this world title again? As for MJF, he sits upon his throne, adorned with his twisted crown and “Triple B.” But will we see Darby Allin become a demon slayer when he challenges MJF in Seattle?
My Thoughts:
Another awesome PPV for AEW, though full to the brim as always. I wonder if AEW needs to let pressure off and not always have every single title defended at a PPV. Anyway, great Zero Hour stuff, and I certainly didn’t think they’d bring Kamille back quite like this, but going after Willow and the TBS title is great stuff for Kamille. They’ll have a great match, but something about this makes me think Kamille almost has to win or what was the point? Great match for Windsor VS Marina and a great win for Windsor. Perry VS Davis was very good, and rather outta nowhere, a bit to my point of AEW insisting every title be defended. Maya & Hyan VS Divine Dominion was really good, too, but of course status quo is kept on Zero Hour.
Awesome tag match from Okada & Konosuke VS Bucks, but of course the team of Okada & Konosuke fell apart. This builds towards not just Okada VS Konosuke but it could also build the Don Callis Family Civil War with the family split down the middle. I’m thinking Andrade could join Team Konosuke as Faces after his epic with Darby. Darby was of course winning this, given MJF was winning the main event. Andrade showing respect to Darby will not make Callis happy, but Andrade was already upset about the MJF business so it’d make sense. But I’m already worried it’s not gonna go Darby’s way if they’re doing it in the Seattle area and not on PPV…
Very good match from Jericho VS Ricochet, but Ricochet winning was quite the surprise. Though, if this ends up just like all other Jericho feuds, won’t he come back for more, drag this out, and then we get another match where Ricochet still wins? FTR VS Cope & Christian was great, and while FTR winning out wasn’t really surprising, FTR winning so suddenly kinda was. The Bucks winning their match, are we getting FTR VS Bucks again at Double or Nothing? Or are we getting the Triple Threat they kinda teased after Revolution? A Triple Threat would definitely be a way to protect FTR and C&C while Bucks get their historic fourth reign.
The Casino Gauntlet was once again awesome and unpredictable, and what an awesome win for Kevin Knight. Though, with it being at Bailey’s expense since he was in that Dragontamer, will that compel JetSpeed feuding on the way to Double or Nothing? At the very least, Ciampa going after Knight will give us an awesome match. Thekla VS Jamie was really good, but another sneaky win for Thekla might prolong this story to Double or Nothing. Windsor getting past Marina, I wonder if Windsor gets her shot at Thekla while Jamie watches her back.
Moxley VS Ospreay was awesome, but the go-home math definitely indicated Moxley was winning this. Ospreay hitting the Hidden Blades to start but he didn’t bother covering, that was their way of showing us Ospreay wasn’t winning. Ospreay was too focused on hurting Moxley, not winning a title, but I’m sure this story will continue. Conglomeration VS Dogs was really good, but it seems Gabe’s arm got legit hurt. Hopefully he’s alright, because this not only screws with AEW plans but with NJPW plans. But at the same time, I sensed The Dogs being transitional champions to The Conglomeration now that Kyle O’Reilly is back, great stuff for them.
And of course, go-home math came through on MJF VS Kenny. Kenny stood tall but he chose to NOT keep the Dynamite Diamond Ring for his own, that stupid thing came through for MJF again, and MJF retains. An awesome match all the same, and MJF just keeps building the heat, but again, hard to say if Darby actually wins out on Wednesday.
My Score: 9.2/10

Winners: The Dogs, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)
Bullet Club may be gone, but these Dogs are still here, and they now reign in AEW! But then Roderick Strong is on the tron to shout, “DOGS!! Congratulations on your victory. But I know you guys weren’t done with us, especially after what you did to us Wednesday. Now, I know there’s three of you and there is only two of us. But there just might be a third.” Orange Cassidy finishes a phone call and says yeah, there might. Okay, then what’d he say? Oh, Cassidy forgot to ask. He can just call back. Roddy says do it now! Cassidy redials and Roddy says they’ll see The Dogs on Sunday! See you there! The Dogs don’t sweat it, but who will be the third man, brother?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
The United Empire regrouped backstage, victorious from the Chaos in Canada, but Will Ospreay says, “Lemme get this straight, Jon Boy. Last week, you said there was six of you and only one of me. That’s funny, because I got a lot of friends over in Japan. Not even friends, brothers, guys that looked after my back since day one. Francesco Akira, one of the greatest Junior Heavyweight Tag wrestlers of all time. Henare, one of the toughest mother effers I’ve ever met in my entire life. This guy knocked out Gabe Kidd with one hand, bang, across his head, and a gash in his head that was about four centimeters.
“And this is my little brother, Callum Newman. You may recognize that (title on his shoulder). He is the youngest-ever IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Together, we’re the United Empire.” Callum says after Ryogoku, after winning the most prestigious title in all of pro-wrestling, Big Brother Billy took ’em all out to the bar, said he had a problem at work. Well, there’s one thing about the Empire: The ARE united. They’ve had their differences, they’ve had things going on, but it doesn’t matter where or when, The Empire stands together. They are a brotherhood! Damn right. And Jon, Sunday, Ospreay gets you all to himself.
No Death Riders, no United Empire, just them and the Continental Championship. And Moxley said he wont’ stand in the way of action and consequences. Good. Neither will Ospreay. The Aerial Assassin’s edge is sharpened, but will he be able to cut down The Maniac?
Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida VS Ava Lawless & Gigi Rey!
Both former AEW Women’s World Champions have been dealing with some frustrations over not winning titles. But these two go away back to the early days of AEW, so surely they can make a formidable tag team. Will this be the beginning of the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo? Or are they resting on their laurels even now?
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Ava. The fans cheer Ava on as a local favorite, but Shida fires off forearms! Shida ROCKS Ava and puts her in the corner. Shida whips corner to corner, then runs in, and she JUMP KNEES Ava! Shida climbs up and rains down fists! The fans count along and Shida goes to TEN! Shida is fired up, the fans cheer, and Shida brings Ava around to suplex for the FALCON ARROW! Shida then winds up and runs, but Kris tags in! Shida is upset by that but Ava hot tags Gigi! Gigi runs up and RAMS Kris! Gigi fires forearms, but Kris snap suplexes! Then a roll through for the FISHERMAN BUSTER!
Kris runs to BOOT Ava down, then she brings Gigi up. Gigi fires body shots, but Kris whips Gigi away. Gigi ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls and- NO, Kris blocks for STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris & Shida win!
Winners: Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Shida is stunned, because for one, she was about to finish Ava on her own a moment ago. But a win is a win, so maybe there’s something to #Krishida after all. Unless…?
Maya World & Hyan speak.
“In the world of professional wrestling, we consider ourselves opportunists.” This is Hyan, the Renaissance Woman, so you know she can do it all. And this is #ThatGirl, Maya World! When the lights shine bright, all eyes are on her! They’re also a couple Texas girls, so you know they love a good fight! The AEW Women’s Tag Division is stacked, and Divine Dominion are at the top. They may be bigger and stronger, but that never stops Maya & Hyan. At Dynasty, in the Zero Hour, Maya & Hyan are coming for the titles! Megan, Lena, you can clock that!
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
The Death Riders regrouped after that loss, but Moxley laughed it off and said that was so much fun. Chaos, tables breaking, bodies flying everywhere. They live for this! The Empire stepped into the Death Riders’ world and survived, congrats, good for them. But do they wanna do it again? Or do they want to never have to do that again? This is where Death Riders live! This is what they do, this is what they are! They thrive in the chaos, the live in the eye of the storm! No organization, not in AEW or NJPW or CMLL, nowhere else in this world, can they run with this group. No one can keep up with this group, not for long.
Others get tired, hurt, distracted, fall off, break. Will Ospreay is hellbent on breaking Moxley’s neck. So headstrong, so determined, so talented. Ospreay has done everything right in his career. Maybe. With this play that he’s making, 20 minutes alone with Moxley to get his hands on Moxley, that is a very long time to not make a mistake. Not with a neck like that! Ospreay can’t afford it. So screw Ospreay, screw the United Empire, screw NJPW, it’s them VS The World! Moxley leaves, Daniel Garcia reiterates, “Against the world.” Will nothing stop MOxley from keeping that Contiental Championship?
Casino Gauntlet Stakes: Rush VS Anthony Bowens!
Tommaso Ciampa won the #1 spot in the TNT Championship Casino Gauntlet, but now it is time to determine who joins him as #2! Will El Toro Blanco stampede his way into Vancouver? Or will the Pride of Professional Wrestling prove he can be a killer?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally for Rush as the two tie up, then break. They tie up again, Bowens headlocks, but Rush fires body shots. Rush puts Bowens on ropes, headlocks in return, but Bowens powers up and out. Things speed up, Bowens drops down then hurdles over, but Rush leaps over Bowens! Rush comes back but Bowens RUNS him over! Rush returns to RUN Bowens over! The fans fire up as the two start shoving. Then they start throwing forearms! Rush fires up and eggs Bowens on. The forearms keep going, then Rush CHOPS! Bowens scowls to CHOP again! Rush CHOPS!
The CHOPS go back and forth, then Bowens CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Bowens runs, but rush dodges to CHOP! And CHOP! Rush eggs Bowens on again, then dodges to DECK him! Bowens goes to a corner while the fans fire up. Rush sits Bowens down to stomp away on him! Rush then goes corner to corner and back again, to fake the dropkick, and he BOOTS Bowens instead! The fans are torn as Rush rolls back to tranquilo. Rush then hears the fans fire up. Bowens runs up but Rush SNAP POWERSLAMS him! Rush kicks and runs, but into a BOOT from Bowens! Bowens CLUBS and ELBOWS Rush again and again!
Bowens CLUBS Rush down, Rush bails out, and Bowens goes out after Rush. The fans cheer Bowens as he whips Rush hard into railing! And then whips him hard into more railing! Bowens scissor fingers some fans, then he SMACKS Rush off the steel steps again and again! Rush falls over, Bowens roars, and the fans cheer him on! Bowens drags Rush up, reels him in, but Rush fights the suplex! Bowens fires body shots, but Rush still fights! Bowens whisp Rush into more railing! Rush flops down, Bowens refreshes the ring count, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Bowens storms over to Rush, drags him up, and sits him in the corner. Bowens CHOPS, CHOPS, and puts Rush in the ring. Bowens fires up with the fans, then he goes to the ring. Bowens stomps Rush, but Rush SPITS at him! Bowens snarls and SUPERKICKS Rush down! Cover, ONE! Rush toughs it out but Bowens clamps on with a chinlock, then a COBRA CLUTCH! Rush endures, even as Bowens grinds him down! Rush fights up, fights around, and fires body shots. Rush DROPKICKS Bowens into the corner! Rush snarls but he has control as Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Bowens winds up for a mule kick, a front kick, then a FAMOUSER! Cover, TWO! Rush toughs it out but Bowens keeps his cool. Bowens drags Rush up, whips him to a corner, but Rush reverses. Rush SPLASHES, then he snapmares to basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up with Rush, and he sees Bowens go to the corner. Rush kicks Bowens, eggs him on, but Bowens bumps Rush off buckles! Bowens ROCKS and CHPOS, but then Rush puts Bowens in the corner to CHOP and CHOP! Bowens ROCKS and CHOPS and repeat! Rush guzels but Bowens breaks free to ROCK Rush! Rush hits back and the fans cheer the forearms flying!
Rush wrenches Bowens into the ANGLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Bowens survives and Rush is furious! The fans rally as Rush rises up, and he brings Bowens around to whip to the corner. Bowens reverses, runs up, and he puts Rush in the ropes. ENZIGIRI! Then the DRAPING SIDEWINDER! Cover, TWO! Rush survives and the fans fire up again! Bowens snarls, he pounds the mat, and the fans rally. Bowens goes to a corner, takes aim at Rush, and he runs up, but into a CORNER BELLY2BELLY! Not the strongest throw, but Rush looks to add on! The fans cheer Rush as he runs corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…!”
But Bowens ELBOWS Rush first! Then Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! Bowens runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Rush survives again and Bowens grows frustrated. Bowens runs up, but rush dodges to SNAP GERMAN! Then a SLIDING KNEE! Bowens bails out but Rush pursues! Rush whips Bowens into the railing, payback for before! And then he THROWS Bowens into railing! Rush fires body shots, KNEES, and repeat! Rush puts Bowens in, drags him to the corner, and Rush stomps away on Bowens! The ref counts, but Rush goes corner to corner for the BULL’S HORNS!! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall (will enter the Casino Gauntlet at #2)
Psycho Killer and El Toro Blanco, that already makes for a dream match for the TNT Championship! But who else will join them in that Casino Gauntlet? Who will have the hot hand and win the jackpot?
Backstage interview with The Brawling Birds.
Lexy Nair is with Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter and says they both have a big Sunday at Dynasty in separate singles matches as Windsor takes on Marina Shafir and Jamie challenges Thekla for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Tonight, they take them both on together in a tag match. Alex tells Marina that while she serves as Moxley’s little lap dog, she’ll send a message to Moxley: “Jon, Will is gonna cut the head off the snake, but first, I’m gonna chop off the ass! But don’t worry when Will breaks your neck, because I promise I will put Marina right next to you.”
Jamie tells Thekla that she must admit, Thekla’s doing pretty well for herself. Jamie honestly didn’t think Thekla would get this far! The last time they stood across the ring from each other, Jamie didn’t see some Toxic Spider or even some crazy girl, she saw a tosser who was too afraid to get hit! Now, she’ll tell you for free, Jamie will hit Thekla harder than she’s ever been hit before. So tell her, what does that title mean to you? Because to Jamie, it is her life! Alex tells Thekla and Marina to stop drinking, because they’re about to beat the piss outta you! The Birds don’t give a flying F, but will they be able to solve this toxic problem even before Dynasty?
The Hurt Syndicate VS Andy Anderson & Mo Jabari!
Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin are both back at 100%, and they’re ready to take 100% of what AEW has to offer. Will the All Mighty & Standard of Excellence continue to hurt people?

Andy storms in, but Shelton sends him to Lashley, MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER! STEP-UP KNEE on Mo! Then the SPEAR! Shelton SUPERKICKS Andy down, covers, Hurt Syndicate wins!
Winners: The Hurt Syndicate, by pinfall
They indeed did hurt people, and MVP raises his associates’ hands in victory. Will nothing stop Lashley & Shelton from going back for the AEW World Tag Team Championships?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron and Min a Shirakawa.
Lexy Nair sits with them in the lounge area, and she brings up that Harley had asked Kris to team up, only to be turned down. But now she and Mina are both here, how are they both feeling? Harley says sometimes, all you have left is hope. Mina agrees. Harley says she and Mina are rather similar, in more ways than one. But the main thing is, Kris rejected Harley’s idea of tagging and training together, Mina is without Toni Storm, and now they’re both here, alone together. Yep. There is only one thing left to do. Lexy asks what that is, and Mina grabs a couple of glasses, but Harley says just hand her the bottle. Bottoms up, tops down.
Lexy watches as Mina sips her bubbly, and Harley chugs the bottle! Well, drinking away the pain only lasts so long. Will Mina and Harley help pick each other up so they can both move forward?
The Young Bucks VS Hechicero & CLØN w/ Rocky Romero!
Matt & Nick Jackson were going to face #Protokada at Dynasty before Kyle Fletcher’s leg injury took him out, but now they’re set to face Kazuchika Okada & Konosuke Takeshita!

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Spring Break Thru!
AEW is doing it up big for the Dynasty aftermath as Dynamite and Collision will be on back-to-back nights! AEW will make Wednesday and Thursday #AllElite in Seattle, Washington, make sure your DVR is set so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ The Don Callis Family VS Myron Reed!
On Wednesday, the deal was struck that if The Rainmaker & Alpha work together at Dynasty against The Young Bucks, Double or Nothing would see Rainmaker VS Alpha for this title. But does that mean Okada is already overlooking the third Rascal? Or will Okada use Myron to send a message to everyone, including Takeshita?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who lights it up!
Callis joins commentary and says that this match is just to tie up loose ends, and that “this green headed little punk is gonna get his ass handed to him by the great Rainmaker, Okada.” The bell rings and the fans rally for Okada as he circles with Reed. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Okada’s height gives him the leverage. They go to the ropes, Okada lets off slowly, but then he ROCKS Reed with forearms! Okada CLUBS Reed to a corner, stomps away on him, then stops as the ref counts. Okada runs corner to corner, but Reed dodges to counter punch! And counter punch! Okada THROWS Reed to the corner, then stomps away!
Okada CLUBS Reed, then runs the ropes to LARIAT Reed up and out! Reed lands safe on the apron, though, and he dodges Okada to GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! Reed goes up, up, but Okada avoids the leap! Okada blocks the superkick, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Reed keeps moving, and he springboard DROPKICKS! Cover, ONE! Okada bails out but Reed builds speed, only for Okada to slide in! Reed slides under the boot to SUPERKICK again! Reed runs up, but Okada puts him on the apron. Reed jumps right back in, but Okada puts him right up top! DROPKICK and Reed tumbles to the floor! The fans rally and Okada grins while Collision goes picture in picture.
Okada takes his time going outside to fetch Reed. Okada RAMS Reed into railing, then lets Reed slump down while he “apologizes” to the front row. Okada refreshes the ring count, kicks Reed low, then DDTS him on the floor! Okada brings Reed up again, puts him in the ring, then stalks him to ropes. Okada stands Reed up, bumps him off buckles, then bumps him off more buckles. Okada goes to a third corner for a third buckle bump, then flips the fans off for wanting the full set! Okada grins as he trolls the fans, and he drags Reed up. Okada ELBOWS Reed in the corner, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Okada eggs Reed on, daring him to take a shot. Reed fires a forearm, but then Okada kicks low and DDTS hard! Cocky cover, ONE! Reed is tougher than that but Okada drags him up for a scoop. Okada SLAMS Reed, goes to the corner, and he climbs up top. Standard formula says MACHO ELBOW, but onto knees! Reed gets Okada in the ghost pin, TWO! Okada kicks low, then suplexes, but into STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! The fans rally up while both men are down! Reed and Okada rise, Reed CLOBBERS Okada again and again! Reed whips, Okada reverses, then Okada ducks the boot!
Okada blocks the superkick, avoids the sweep, but Reed avoids the boot! Reed goes Matrix to avoid the lariat, and he PELES! Okada staggers away and the fans fire up! Reed runs corner to corner, but he blocks boots first! Reed puts Okada in the ropes, ENZIGIRIS, then goes out to slingshot and GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Okada survives but Reed is not dismayed. Callis tells Okada to execute Reed in Japanese, but Reed FLIES! Down goes Okada and the fans fire up with Reed! Callis is upset but Reed puts Okada in the ring. Reed counter punches Okada, then slingshots, but Okada catches him! REVERSE NECKBREAKER!
The fans rally as Okada brings Reed back up. Okada scoops and SLAMS Reed, and he tries the standard formula again. Okada aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit this time, and then Okada winds up the Rainmaker MIDDLE FINGER! Okada brings Reed up, around, but Reed fires elbows! Reed runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada drags Reed up, gut wrenches, but Reed fights free! Reed fireman’s carries to swing Okada onto the ropes for the DRAPING FLATLINER! The fans fire up again as Reed builds speed, and he FLING CUTTERS to the floor!! The fans go nuts for that wild risk Reed just took, but Reed gets Okada back in the ring.
Reed aims, springboards, and 450 SPLASHES, but onto knees! Cover, TWO! Reed survives but Okada hauls him up! Ripcord and RAIN- NO,M Reed wheelbarrows to victory roll, TWO! Okada is up, he ducks a lariat to DISCUS- NO, Reed goes Matrix again! But Okada stops the stunner, pops Reed up, TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! Okada ripcords to RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
The Rainmaker got more than he expected out of Myron Reed, but he is still on top as a champion! And with that, will Okada and Takeshita take down The Young Bucks for their mutual best friend, Kyle Fletcher?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Willow Nightingale returned backstage, victorious as AEW TBS Champion, and she says, “Oh my gawd! Okay, Queen Aminata, tonight, Dynamite, she brought it! On Collision this past week, Shida, she brought it! These girls are coming back, they’re making me work, but it’s all good, because I am still the Face of TBS! Your TBS Champion, Willow Nightingale! And I’m excited, I’m happy, arms wide open, welcoming these girls back. Tony Schiavone was out there calling me the Comeback Killer.
“So if you’re home right now, if you’re recovering from an injury, if you’re needing to rediscover yourself a little bit, take some time away… I’m here waiting. TBS Championship will on be the line, anywhere, any place. Come and try and take it.” The Babe with the Power also has the confidence, but will this unique open challenge come back to bite her?
Divine Dominion speaks.
Lena Kross says, “Holding these titles means we are the best. That we set the standard for the Women’s Tag Team Division. And somehow, Hyan & Maya have caught our attention as they desperately try to rise from the bottom. Admirable. But what makes you think you belong in the same realm as us?” Megan Bayne says, “Now, now. We are gracious champions. So here’s your gift. This Sunday, Dynasty: Zero Hour, we grant you the opportunity to step into our domain, and fight not just for the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships, but for your honor. But understand this: You are beneath us. So now the only question is, can you survive long enough to keep us entertained?”
The Megasus & Aussie Amazon have spoken, will they dominate and destroy Hyan & Maya like all the rest? Or will The Renaissance Woman & #ThatGirl move heaven and earth to reach the mountaintop?
Thekla & Marina Shafir VS The Brawling Birds!
The Toxic Spider and The Problem each have their battles with Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor at Dynasty, and we all know no one out of these four gives any F’s about how hard they have to fight to win. Will the AEW Women’s World Champion and the Death Riders’ femme fatale have all the momentum on their side? Or will this truly be an example of two birds, one stone?
The teams sort out, but then Thekla & Marina just attack The Birds! The ref reprimands but the fans cheer as they are indeed brawling! Jamie CLUBS away on Thekla, Windsor and Marina scrap, but then Thekla & Marina kick low. They TOSS The Birds out, then storm out after them. Thekla CLUBS Jamie, Marina sends Windsor into barriers, and then Marina CHOPS! Thekla SMACKS Jamie off the apron, Marina SAYANAGIS Windsor, but then Jamie THROWS Thekla into the railing! This isn’t even a match yet because there was no bell! Marina whips Windsor hard into railing, but then Jamie storms over!
Jamie CLUBS Marina, stomps her into the corner, and now Windsor brawls with Thekla! Windsor RAMS Thekla, BOOTS Marina, but Thekla KICKS Jamie! Marina KNEES Windsor, Thekla sends Jamie into railing, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. Thekla says the barrier is sturdy, and Marina tells the ref to take it easy. Thekla CHOKES Jamie with the padding, and Marina full nelsons Windsor to make her watch. Thekla SMACKS Jamie off the desk! Thekla asks commentary how they’re doing tonight, and she pretends to tap a wristwatch, saying it is only a matter of time. Marina CLUBS Windsor, then UPPERCUTS her down!
The ref is getting fed up with this, but Marina finally goes to the ring. But Windsor reels her back out for a WHEELBARROW SLAM off the apron! Jamie suplexes Thekla hard on the floor! Windsor puts Marina in, the bell finally rings, and this is finally on record! Jamie sends Thekla into railing, then hurries back to her corner. Windsor HAMMERs away on Marina, CHOPS her, then Jamie joins in with CHOPS! The fans cheer as The Birds CHOP, CHOP, and then they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Thekla! Marina storms up to DOUBLE CHOP the Birds! Then she KICKS Jamie down, BOOTS Windsor aside, and bumps Jamie off buckles.
Thekla BOOTS Windsor, Marina THROWS Jamie, and Marina waistlocks Windsor for a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans rally while Marina sucker punches Jamie, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Marina stalks Windsor, KICKS her around, taunts her, then kicks her again. Marina drags Windsor up, whips her to the corner, then fires body shots. Tag to Thekla and she CLAWS Windsor’s face! The ref counts, Thekla stops, but then Thekla drags Windsor up. Windsor fires body shots, ROCKS Thekla, then brings her around. Thekla fires body shots, brings Windsor around again, and cravats for a snapmare. Thekla CLUBS Windsor, covers, TWO! Windsor toughs it out but Thekla drags her up. Windsor fires body shots but Thekla CLUBS her back down! Thekla drags Windsor up, bumps her off buckles, then tags Marina.

Marina kneels on Windsor for a cocky cover, TWO! Marina KICKS Windsor int he back, watches her writhe, then brings her up. Marina whips and KICKS Windsor down! Collision returns to single picture while Marina soaks up the heat. Marina stands Windsor up, whips again, but Windsor grabs the ropes!
Marina KICKS Windsor again, then winds up, only for Windsor to dodge! Marina gets stuck in the ropes and Windsor KICKS Marina’s legs! Windsor turns Marina around to CHPO, CHOP, and CHOP! Windsor runs but Thekla kicks low! Thekla whips, Windsor dodges, and Windsor SHOTGUNS Marina! Windsor then bobs ‘n’ weaves with Thekla to ROCK her! And then DRAPING DDT on Marina! The fans fire up as Windsor crawls, hot tag to Hayter! Jamie BLASTS Thekla, then she GERMAN SUPLEXES Marina! And GERMAN SUPLEX! And a third GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up as Jamie CLUBS away on Marina!
Jamie runs but Marina dodges the boot! Marina shoves Jamie to the corner, then runs up, but into an ELBOW! Jamie BOOTS Marina, goes up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Jamie just manages to hit Marina, and she pushes Marina around, only for Marina to counter with a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! But Jamie pushes back to a cover, TWO!! Marina lets Jamie go in time, and BOOTS her right down! Tag to Thekla and Thekla storms up on Jamie. Thekla mocks Jamie as she scuffs her, then BOOTS her down! Jamie swings, Thekla dodges, and Thekla tilt-o-whirls to the IRON OCTOPUS! Jamie endures, fights around, but Marina brings them back!
The ref has to keep Windsor from storming in, but that means Thekla and Marina get away with this! The ref finally sees, Marina lets go, but she also intercepts Windsor! Standing toehold, but then Windsor BOOTS Marina into Thekla! Jamie hits a BACKBREAKER on Thekla! Marina gets around Jamie to GERMAN SUPLEX! Windsor LARIATS Marina! Thekla SPIDER SPEARS Windsor!

HEADBUTT from Windsor to Marina, and then TWO BIRDS ONE STONE!! Cover, Birds win!!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
It wasn’t easy, but The Birds managed to solve The Problem! Wait, is Marina smiling? Is she just that excited to have another fight like this with Iron Will Windsor? Will Jamie make sure Thekla gets a real taste of Hayterade? Or will Thekla make sure AEW stays toxic?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home episode of Collision, and of course they had three different post-Dynamite promo segments to add some final touches on things. Good promos from United Empire and Death Riders, and Garcia having to have the last word makes me wonder. Will Garcia try and help Moxley despite Continental Rules? Will Garcia cost Moxley the title because of that? They have yet to even tease such a thing in the history of this title and the Continental Rules, this could be the time to do it. But at the same time, Moxley VS Ospreay having a real finish, even a 20 minute time limit finish, would be more favorable for the fans.
A title change here tonight is really surprising. At the same time, Mistico was a TRIPLE champion between AEW and CMLL, so something had to give. But The Dogs turning right around to face Cassidy, Roddy, and I can only assume a returning Kyle O’Reilly, are The Dogs going to be transitional champions to The Conglomeration? That’d be pretty wild, but would also compel a renewed rivalry between Dogs and Conglomeration going towards Double or Nothing and beyond. For that matter, maybe Hurt Syndicate finding a new member is something they build towards DON, as they simply did a squash match win to get them going again.
Kris & Shida of course won their match, but this seems to be a vehicle for a feud, or at least Shida’s Heel turn. Mina and Harley had a very fun promo, especially with Harley chugging that drink. I don’t know if Mina & Harley become a duo, or they get in on the story with Kris and Shida to build up the midcard, but Mina and Harley both know how to be hilarious so this will be a lot of fun. Good promos from Maya & Hyan as well as Divine Dominion, but clearly Maya & Hyan are being fed to Megan & Lena to build their reign. Though, it is wild to think Maya & Hyan are getting this moment at all from the great work they’re doing in ROH.
Rush VS Bowens was great stuff, especially for Bowens bringing out his aggression, but Rush winning out was a given. I really do mean it when I say Ciampa and Rush could just be the TNT Championship match on its own, but the Casino Gauntlet will be a lot of fun, as it always is. Not sure what’s going on with “Bowens wants to be in The Opps” since we haven’t seen Hook in a minute. And that Acclaimed reunion slow burn went ice cold, not sure why TK didn’t/hasn’t see the road ahead for it. He could even be using The Opps as part of it, where Caster is also trying to prove he has ruthless aggression. But just as they’d been teasing before, Caster and Bowens would see they’re better together, no one else needed, and boom, Acclaimed is back!
The Bucks VS Clon y Hechi was a great match, perhaps better than it needed to be, but that’s also par for the course with AEW. Okada VS Reed was also great, but sadly a forgone conclusion when they gave us that deal within The Don Callis Family. Bucks have momentum, Okada has momentum, Konosuke has momentum, the tag match could go either way, but all with the purpose of building Okada VS Takeshita. And great main event tag from Brawling Birds VS Thekla & Windsor. Marina taking the loss protects Thekla, but I feel she’ll find a way to retain against Jamie. Marina VS Windsor can go either way, since it’s non-title and is kinda more about the larger Death Riders story.
My Score: 8.9/10
