AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.

The Death Riders regrouped, and Moxley says, “For nearly a year, we have bene testing people. We have been pushing people. Frankly, most of ’em have failed the test. Turns out, this isn’t the job they really want. This is the greatest sport in the world, and it’s the toughest sport in the world, and they don’t have the stomach to endure! You can scour the globe for people who have it in ’em. In their guts, in their soul, who don’t know any other way. There’s a few of ’em out there, I know ’em when I see ’em.” Gabe Kidd tells “Shibata-san, you taught me about fighting spirit, how to show it to the world, how to fight with all your heart.

“You go out there, and you hang out with Samoa Joe and Will Hobbs and you just collect a paycheck. Now you don’t have a single ounce of effin’ fightin’ spirit left!” Wheeler Yuta says The Opps have beaten and battered and bruised him, but he will continue to move forward because that is nothing compared to what The Death Riders have done to him to make him stronger. Claudio Castagnoli says they do not go out there and beg. Beggars are not warriors, and warriors do not beg. Marina Shafir says “they” are all pathetic, weak, brittle, and are all p*ssies!

Moxley says if you wanna be in the business, you can’t pretend your way into it. You can’t buy your way into it. You can’t gladhand and ass-kiss your way into it. You wanna be the real thing? You gotta be all in, or all out. Moxley VS Hangman, and now Claudio, Yuta & Gabe VS The Opps, all the gold on the line! Who will leave Texas with it all in their hands?

Harley Cameron is working out.

The wild Aussie loses her grip on the chin-up bar, falling on the floor. She introduces herself and says that she crashes, a lot. But when she needs to reenergize and fast, “You need an iDrinq!” OMG, Dr. Puppet? And yes, iDrinq’s caffeine free family delivers the electrolytes and vitamins you’ll need to get back up from your crash! Pick yourself up some today!

Sky Flight Team speaks.

Scorpio Sky says, “Scorpio Sky is back, and yeah, it’s a feel good moment. But we have to remember one thing: All of this can go away in the blink of an eye, and that is something I cannot let happen again. I have surrounded myself with the best talent and knowledge I can find. And that is Sky Flight Team.” Christopher Daniels says, “Understand that every championship you have is a possible goal: The World, the Unified, the TNT, the tag titles, the trios titles, and every women’s championship. We can lay claim to them at any time. You look at the talent in each one of these athletes: Leila Grey, Top Flight, Scorpio Sky.

“You add 32 years of the Fallen Angel’s experience to guide them, we’ve made a team that is exponentially more than the sum of its parts. AEW, this IS Sky Flight Team. And with this team, the sky is no limit.” Then will this team take all the gold they can in a snap?

Winner: Mistico, by submission

A big win for Mistico and he is undefeated in AEW! But that’s 1v1, and the Casino Gauntlet could end up a Triple Threat or more! Will Mistico be able to defy the odds and win big at- Wait, MJF is on the tron wearing Mistico’s mask! MJF claps to mock Mistico and says that’s all he does! Mistico claps like a circus seal because he’s a jabroni! And what’s this? This is the mask MJF ripped clean off Mistico’s stupid skull. MJF knows everyone is so excited for Mistico to go to the Casino Gauntlet to get in the way of MJF and MJF’s world title. Well, then Mistico has another thing coming. Mistico won’t get in because MJF is going to pin Mark Briscoe in three seconds of the bell!

But let’s just say Mistico does get in. MJF will just keep collecting Mistico’s masks until he has them all, leaving Mistico with no choice but to show the world his ugly face! MJF will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he is better than you, and you know it. The fans boo but Mistico says see you Saturday! Will MJF only get himself in trouble by stoking the flames?

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Two days from now, the Casino Gauntlet match, and I’m coming to win. I don’t care who shows up, I’m coming to win. Been in the game 25 years now, it’s what I do. It’s business. But at this point, it’s become personal. MJF, you piece of s*it… Hey, I knew you was gonna invoke my brother’s name. I called you out on it before you even did it! I was hoping that I’d be numb to it. But y’know what? Been 24 hours, and every minute that goes by, I get more and more pissed off. Knowing that my sister-in-law, my nephew, my nieces, my mom and my dad were sitting there watching the TV while you disrespected my brother and disrespected my family.

“So Saturday… I told you what my plan is: to win. But Sunday… I gotta come back home to Delaware. And whether I win or not, I wanna look my family in the eyes and say, ‘I ain’t let that s*it fly.’ MJF… At this point… I have got to whoop your ass.” The Sussex County Chicken is deadly serious, but will he make sure if nothing else, MJF does NOT walk out of Texas the #1 contender?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.

Renee Paquette says that was an insane start to AEW’s long week in Texas, and she brings Hangman in to talk about the chaos. Hangman says he probably should talk about it, just not with Renee. Hangman moves on to find Swerve’s locker room! Hangman pushes right through the door to find Ospreay, Swerve & Nana. Ospreay says please, let’s not do this just two days before All In! Swerve is upset Hangman is doing this right in his locker room. Hangman tells Ospreay he just needs two minutes. Ospreay isn’t so sure, but Swerve says it’s fine. Ospreay steps aside, but Hangman does thank Ospreay for everything.

Nana says he’s gonna get some coffee. Does Swerve want some? Swerve shakes his head no. Nana scoots out of the room, and Swerve chuckles. He knows what this is about. He knows why Hangman is here. Hangman is asking for help! Go ahead, ask him for help! It’s why he’s here, right? No, that’s not why. Hangman couldn’t even if he tried. But he is going into a suicide mission on Saturday, and he figured if he doesn’t say this now, he’ll never have the chance. Hangman just wanted to do what he should’ve done two years ago. Hangman takes a seat, puts the chain down, and Swerve also takes a seat to hear him out.

Hangman says The Bucks, Dynasty, and everything since, Hangman has had nothing to do with that. And he knows if the tables were turned, Hangman wouldn’t believe this either. Swerve knows all that. What’s his point? Hangman says what Swerve did to Hangman and his family… Hangman’s son still wakes up at night screaming, thinking he saw Swerve! And Hangman hates Swerve for that! He always will! But what Hangman did to Swerve… Swerve deserved that. And what upsets Hangman more is that Swerve knows it, too. Swerve knows he deserved that payback. Which is why Hangman regrets it.

Hangman just needs to know: Does Swerve regret what he did to Hangman? Swerve says if Hangman had asked him all this before Swerve became world champion, Swerve would’ve said “No.” He’d do it all over again. But after the world title, after main-eventing Wembley, after their brutal cage match, after Swerve losing things, people, matches, all of it…! Yeah, Swerve regrets it. Okay. Hangman stands up, and he says he’ll bring his family on Saturday. Not to the show, but like, before. Swerve says he’ll steer clear. Hope they enjoy the show. Hangman says he believes that. Hangman goes to leave, but Swerve has him wait.

Swerve says the house Hangman burned down. Swerve was planning to raise his kids in it. Have them grow up just like he did. Hell, Swerve pictured his grandchildren growing up in that house. But after thinking about it, maybe it was time to let go of the past. Hangman just says, “Yeah,” and takes his leave. Both men have a lot to think on. And Hangman also left the chain behind. With both men acknowledging their sins, can there be peace between AEW’s most vicious rivals?

Someone is storming out from the crowd?

The DEATH RIDERS are here, no music needed! And Jon Moxley grabs a mic to ask, “What the hell was that?!” The fans boo but Moxley asks what kinda pathetic crybaby stuff was that?! A Texas Death Match on Saturday, Hangman better get his head screwed on straight! That ain’t no cowboy he’s ever seen! Marina takes the mic to say Hangman ain’t no cowboy! He’s a p*ssy! A PUNK ASS B*TCH!! Moxley says he will give Hangman this: The smartest decision Hangman ever made was tell his family to NOT attend All In. The fans chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Moxley says yeah, they’ll see some cowboy s*it on Saturday!

Because the difference between Hangman and Moxley is that after Saturday, Moxley will  make no apologies and have no regrets! 48 hours remain, Hangman, before your Texas Death! The Maniac storms his way back out of the arena, will nothing stop him from ending Hangman’s redemption story?

Lexy Nair is with the returning internet darling, and knows that he vowed to wrestle at All In. He called out the entire Don Callis Family on social media, and he’s doing it again live on Collision! Callis may have a family, but so does Big Boom AJ! Big Justice & The Rizzler, come here! The Sons of Big Boom step in, but Lexy has to point out, they’re just kids. Doesn’t AJ need adult teammates? Big Justice agrees! They need an assortment! A collection! No, wait, A CONGLOMERATION! And in step Tomohiro Ishii & Hologram! They shake hands and are ready to go! But then the Don Callis Family walks in…

Rocky mockingly says this is so adorable! They’ll be big time memeing on the internet! Trent says AJ is an embarrassment, his children are an embarrassment, and AJ is not a pro-wrestler anymore. He’s just a man who eats cookies. If they want a match, then it is four of them (Rocky, Trent, Archer & Hechicero), but only three on Team AJ! Is this all they can conglomerate? WAIT! Kyle O’Reilly steps in! And he says that Rocky should remember himself, The Conglomeration is more a frame of mind, and it never left Kyle’s. So not only is he very eager to say “BOOM,” for one night only at All In, The Conglomeration is b-b-b-b-b-back! Also Kyle is rizzing a lot…

AJ says there it is! Bring the whole family to All In! Cuz AJ is bringing his, and they’re bringing the B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-BOOM! That catchphrase sucks!! They all argue, but the point is clear, this could be quite the Zero Hour showdown! Will it be BOOM or DOOM in Globe Life Field?

FTR speaks.

Stokely, Cash & Dax regroup backstage, and Stoke says he has made a lot of mistakes in his career. The biggest one was trusting Christian Cage! But they’ll get to that later. Outrunners sure think they got one over on FTR! They probably think they’re the greatest tag team alive today! That is a lie! Zero Hour, they will settle the score once and for all! As far as the tag titles, FTR will be there and whatever happens happens. #TopGuysOut. Will there be no stopping these three from being the ones again?

Katsuyori Shibata VS Gabe Kidd!

It is a battle of teacher and student as The Wrestler takes on one of the meanest and most dangerous graduates from the LA Dojo who has been wanting this showdown for the better part of a year. But will the Mad Man prove he is #WarReady for anything? Or will Shibata prove there is still a lot left for Gabe to learn?

The moment Gabe is in the ring, he rushes Shibata! Shibata is ready with a BOOT! The bell rings, the forearms fly, and the fans fire up! Shibata fires a flurry, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe wobbles, but he BITES Shibata’s forehead! The ref counts, Gabe stops to whip corner to corner, and he runs up to LARIAT! The fans are torn but Gabe runs, only for Shibata to BOOT again! Shibata fires off forearms in the corner, he sits Gabe down, but Gabe bails out before Shibata can go corner to corner. The student knows his sensei’s moves well, but Shibata pursues! They go around the outside, and then Gabe CLOBBERS Shibata!

The fans are torn but Marina is ringside to nod approval. Gabe sits Shibata up, the fans chant “You Suck!” Gabe mockingly asks, “What now, coach?” Gabe puts Shibata in, soaks up some heat, but Shibata BOOTS him right down! The fans fire up as Shibata brushes himself off. Shibata goes out to fetch Gabe, then whips him hard into barriers! Shibata runs up and BOOTS Gabe down! The fans fire up for Shibata and he brings Gabe up. Gabe is a ragdoll so Shibata stomps him! Shibata puts Gabe in, stomps him around, but Gabe CLAWS Shibata’s eyes! The ref counts, Gabe fires forearms, but Gabe stops as the ref counts again.

Gabe huffs ‘n’ puffs and runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Gabe uses Shibata’s own move, then sits cross-legged to mock him more! The fans boo but Gabe seethes while Collision goes picture in picture.

Gabe storms around while soaking up the heat. Gabe goes to Shibata, drags him up, and SMACKS him back down! Gabe then steps over Shibata so he can fishhook Shibata’s face! The ref reprimands, Gabe stops, and Shibata writhes while clutching his face. Gabe paces around, stands Shibata back up, and CHOSP! Gabe talks trash, pie faces Shibata, but Shibata gets in Gabe’s face. Gabe ROCKS Shibata, ROCKS him again, but Shibata just nods! Gabe CHOPS Shibata down, covers, ONE!! Shibata is tougher than that but Gabe keeps right on him. Gabe drags Shibata up, ROCKS him with another right, then CLUBS him down!

Gabe stomps Shibata, does squats just to mock him, but then Shibata sits up. Gabe KICKS Shibata, but Shibata stands. Shibata PALM STRIKES and Gabe drops to a knee! Shibata looms over Gabe, brings him up, but Gabe SMACKS Shibata! And SMACKS again! Shibata SMACKS bac! Gabe DECKS Shibata, covers, TWO! Shibata stays in this but he clutches his neck, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Gabe has Shibata in the corner. Gabe pie faces then CHOPS! Shibata scowls but Gabe CHOPS again! Shibata turns things around to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Gabe sits down but Shibata CHOPS more! Shibata goes corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Shibata brings Gabe up to HALF HATCH! Cover, TWO! Shibata clamps on with a SLEEPER! Gabe fights up, CLAWS Shibata’s eyes, then switches to SAIDO! Gabe hurries to cover, TWO! Gabe then suplexes to BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Gabe huffs ‘n’ puffs and wags his finger. Gabe reels Shibata in, but Shibata resists the lift!

Gabe lets go and he CHOPS Shibata on the back! Gabe pie faces Shibata while the fans go nuts. Gabe CHOPS again, but Shibata just gets mad! Gabe sits down and he eggs Shibata on! Shibata SLAPS Gabe on his bald head! Then CHOPS away on his back! The fans fire up as Shibata KICKS and CLUBS and UPPERCUTS! Gabe BOOTS back! Shibata runs to BOOT Gabe! Gabe CHOPS, Shibata ROCKS, Gabe LARIATS! Cover, ONE?!?! The fans fire up, Gabe runs, btu into a LARIAT!! The fans fire up with Shibata and he brings Gabe up. Shibata wrenches, waistlocks, but Gabe fights with elbows! Gabe ROCKS Shibata with a right!

Gabe talks trash, but Shibata SMACKS Gabe, then ripcords to CHOP! The fans fire up and Shibata brings Gabe up again. Shibata KICKS Gabe down! Then he clamps on the SLEEPER!! Gabe endures, but here comes Yuta! Shibata BOOTS Yuta down! The ref reprimands Yuta, but Gabe LOW BLOWS Shibata! PILEDRIVER!! Cover, Gabe wins!

Winner: Gabe Kidd, by pinfall

After getting that assist, Gabe is definitely a Death Rider now! Will they pull these same tricks to take those AEW World Trios Championships off The Opps? Wait, Kris Statlander is here? The Galaxy’s Greatest makes her way to ringside, high-fives some fans, and then smiles as she joins commentary for tonight’s main event! Will Kris get some good scouting notes on some potential Women’s Casino Gauntlet opponents?

8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata, Willow Nightingale & Mina Shirakawa VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart!

On top of the Women’s Casino Gauntlet for All In, the team captains are still gearing up for their ROH Women’s World Championship match! Will La Mera Mera be ready to take that title off the Fallen Goddess? Or will the American Joshi, the Minion Overlord, the ROH Gatekeeper be primed for Supercard of Honor?

Collision returns as the Fighting Gravure Idol makes her entrance, followed by the One True African Queen, and Thunder Rosa herself. They join the Babe with the Power in the ring, then the Megasus, the Toxic Spider, the Princess of the Black Throne, and lastly, Athena. Billie Starkz, Skye Blue & Penelope Ford all follow, so seven stars in all. Perhaps we can call them Pleiades? Either way, the teams sort out, and Mina starts against Athena. Texas cheers on Athena as she and Mina circle. They tie up, Athena arm-drags, but then Mina arm-drags back. Athena dodges as swing, Mina dodges a swing, and Mina slides to do her shimmy.

But then Athena SUPERKICKS Mina! Cover, ONE! Athena says okay then, and she whips Mina to a corner. Athena runs but Mina dodge! Mina ROCKS Athena, goes up to FLYING CHUCK, then she tilt-o-whirls for a RANA! Athena handsprings through! Mina dodges, runs up, and SLINGBLADES! The fans fire up as Mina shimmies more. Tag to Rosa and she is right on Athena. Rosa CHOPS, Athena CHOPS, repeat! The fans WOO~ as Rosa CHOPS again and again! Rosa whips, Athena reverses, but Rosa slips around to arm-drag! The fans fire up and Rosa says it’s time to strike! But Athena slips around to roll her up, TWO!

Athena kicks low, the fans duel over their Texas heroes, but Rosa RANAS! The fans fire up and Rosa runs to STRADDLE ATTACK! The fans fire up more as Rosa storms in, runs up, wheelbarrow and victory roll, STOMP 182! Cover, TWO! Rosa looms over Athena, brings her up, and bumps her off buckles. Tag to Willow and the fans fire up as Willow fires forearms! Willow bumps Athena off buckles, fires LARIATS in the corner again and again, and the fans count all the way to TEN! Willow snap suplexes Athena, covers, TWO! Willow keeps Athena from her corner, tags Rosa, then bumps Athena off Rosa’s boot.

Rosa brings Athena around, she and Willow DOUBLE- NO, Athena fights the suplex, slips free, and tags in Megan! Megan DOUBLE LARIATS Willow & Rosa! Megan whips Willow into Rosa in the corner! Then she runs and DOUBLE SPLASHES them! Athena adds on, handspring FOREARM! Then Megan fireman’s carries Willow! Rosa DECKS Athena, runs up on Megan, but Megan scoops her, too! Kris says she’s done this same move before, no big deal. FALL AWAY SAMAON DROP COMBO! Megan kips up, the fans fire up, and Athena says they’ve got this! Willow & Rosa regroup on the outside, and Megan THROWS Athena for the DIVE!

The fans fire up for Athena & Megan, Billie also cheers, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Athena covers, TWO! Willow toughs it out, Athena argues with the ref, but Willow fires body shots. Athena KNEES Willow down! Athena soaks up the cheers and jeers, then grabs Willow’s legs. Willow BOOTS Athena away, Julia tags in!

Collision returns to single picture as Julia hurries to BLAST Aminata & Rosa, then she ELBOWS Mina! Julia whips but Willow reverses! Willow runs in, but into Julia’s TARANTULA! The ref counts, Julia stops at 4, and then Julia steps in, only for Willow to fireman’s carry! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Both women crawl, hot tags to Thekla and Aminata!

Winners: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata, Mina Shirakawa & Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Kris admits, Willow is a great competitor. But then Billie, Skye & Penelope attack! The back-up squad makes sure Rosa’s team isn’t getting to celebrate the win! Skye & Julia mug Willow, Athena and Rosa brawl out of the ring, but TAYJAY appears! They’ve been part of these All-Star matches, so they want their pound of flesh! The brawl is on between TayJay and Skye-Hart, but then Megan & Penelope get in there! Refs rush out here, but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” And then Kris steps into the ring to stare down Megan! But then Penelope jumps on Kris! Megan is amused, but TayMay jumps on her!

It is utter chaos as Collision closes out! Will it be Kris, Megan, or another that takes the Women’s Casino Gauntlet for their own? Will Athena keep her ROH Women’s World Championship? Or will Thunder bring an end to the forever reign?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision as another great go-home to All In. Great opening Six Man of Paragon VS Fletcher & Roppongi Vice, and Paragon winning indicates that Fletcher could be taking the TNT Championship. Good promo from Big Boom AJ and sons that then led to the Conglomeration VS Don Callis Family. I almost thought this would be Orange Cassidy’s return moment, but I appreciate O’Reilly wanting in on that. I feel like this has to be a win for Big Boom AJ and The Conglomeration, especially with Hologram on the team and his win streak still climbing. When is Hologram gonna get a title?

Very good promo from Scorpio Sky & Christopher Daniels to hype up their new faction, and they’ll certainly make moves on the belts as soon as next week. Great match from Mistico VS Mortos, great win for Mistico, and then a good promo from MJF. Mark Briscoe again proves he is highly underrated as a promo guy, him switching tone to be so scary serious was great stuff. I feel like Briscoe is going to go so hard after MJF that while he keeps MJF from winning, someone else wins.

Hangman talking with Swerve was awesome stuff. Not even so much that they had energy in the promo, but that this happened at all. This is a great sign that maybe, just maybe, Swerve helps Hangman when The Death Riders work to stack the deck. A lot will have to interplay with how they handle Bucks VS Swerve & Ospreay, EVP Titles VS Title Opportunities, but I feel like Swerve should want to screw Moxley over more than he wants to ruin things for Hangman. And as I said, it’s more intriguing and entertaining if The Bucks have to deal with being “regular people” again.

Great 8 Man Tag of JetRunners VS FTRIARCHY, and a great win for the Faces. However, that makes me think JetSpeed is taking the loss in the AEW World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat. It would be clever if Christian lets Knight & Bailey handle Lashley & Shelton, much like what we saw last night in that beatdown, and then Patriarchy snatches a win. Good promo from Stokely to give us Outrunners VS FTR for Zero Hour, that’ll be great stuff because Zero Hour always does great stuff. And from there, FTR can easily pivot towards the tag titles, no matter who comes out on top.

Great group promo from Death Riders, and awesome match from Gabe VS Shibata. But with the trios title set, Yuta helping cheat the win makes some sense. The Death Riders look to lose everything they’ve worked for, should Moxley lose the world title. And great main event with yet another All Star Tag, and naturally, we get a chaotic brawl to close out. Much as we saw from NXT and their Women’s Division, this was that classic battle royal go-home move. Kris and Megan are starting, makes me wonder if either is the winner because of how focused they are on each other, paralleling MJF and Mark Briscoe.

At the same time, this stuff with Kris and Death Riders, it’d work so well if Marina helped Kris win by clearing out competition so Kris can pin, say, former friend Willow. Then there’s intrigue of Kris feuding with Willow on the way to her title match.

My Score: 8.9/10
