Hangman Page is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Cowboy as he storms right out to the ring. Hangman grabs a mic, and he says he is not going to waste our time because he has said plenty how much the AEW World Championship match means to him. He has said plenty on how much AEW and that title mean to him, and he has said he would ride through death itself for this! The fans cheer, and hangman says he made a promise that at All In, he would win THE AEW World Championship! That he would free it from the briefcase, hold it over his head for the world to see, and it is a vow he will keep with his life!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman continues with, “You can tie me up and you can bloody me, but it will not be enough. And like last week, you can wrap a chain around my neck and hang me from the sky! But you would have to kill me before I let this chance pass me by!” If you think he’ll let The Elite or the Death Riders cost them, then you’re the biggest dumbass in the world! Because at All In, like all of Jon Moxley’s matches, Hangman knows they are coming, so he will welcome them. “Give me The Elite! Give me ALL of the Death Riders! Jon Moxley, you give me everything or you give me death, and make this a TEXAS DEATH MATCH!!”
Well, as if on cue, Jon Moxley makes his way out from the bowels of the arena, Marina Shafir right behind him. The fans boo as these two make their way to ringside, and Hangman keeps his eyes locked on The Maniac. Moxley steps up to the apron, mic in hand, and he says, “So… At All In, you wanna put all your chips on the table? Your life, your health, your career, all on the line, all on the table, with the AEW World Championship, in a Texas Death Match.” The fans cheer that! But Moxley says, “No.” The fans boo, but Moxley says Hangman doesn’t want that. He might think he wants that, but he doesn’t.
To break it down, on July 12th, Hangman is going to lose. The fans chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at Moxley but he ignores it. At All In, Hangman is not going to win, because he doesn’t want to win. No, Hangman is happy where he is because it is safe and comfortable. Hangman doesn’t wanna wake up on Sunday morning with the AEW World Championship and everything that comes with it. Does Hangman know why he won the Owen Hart Cup? Because it wasn’t the highest peak. It wasn’t really the top of the mountain. It was nice, but THE top, no, that’s not for Hangman, that’s too much pressure, that’s for someone else.
Fans tell Moxley to STFU, but Moxley says he lives in pressure. Moxley knows there are those who say they’re the best in the world, and that’s “basic b*tch sh*t,” Moxley is much more than that. Moxley is much more than the AEW World Champion, and he’ll show the entire world that on July 12th. HE will show the world exactly who he is, and exactly what a world champion looks like. Hangman doesn’t have inside him what it takes to take this title from Moxley, and he certainly doesn’t have what it takes to win a Texas Death Match with Moxley. Hangman is not willing to go as far as he needs to go, it is not something he would survive, it is not something he’d walk away from.
Hangman SLAPS Moxley! Moxley is pissed and he TACKLES Hangman! The fans fire up as the two scrap, and Hangman gets the edge! AND he takes something out of his pocket! Is that a fork!? Wheeler Yuta appears outta nowhere, but then Hangman JAMS him with the fork! Marina SLAPS Hangman! The fans tell Hangman to fork her, but then she SLAPS him again! Hangman seethes, she SLAPS him again! And again and again and again! Hangman just stares her down! Hangman steps forward, but then Yuta anchors Hangman! Claudio Castagnoli TACKLES Hangman! The fans boo as the Death Riders mug Hangman!
Yuta & Claudio stomp away on Hangman, CHOKE him in the corner, then smother him with his own jacket! Moxley is in retreat and Marina checks on him. Claudio drags Hangman up and RIPS away his shirt! Gotch lift, NEUTRALIZER! The fans boo as Moxley needed the Decoder and the Swiss Cyborg to handle Hangman for him. Will this be exactly what happens in ten days at All In: Texas? Hangman grabs the mic to shout, “HOLD ON! HOLD ON! Is that the best you’ve got?! IS THAT THE BEST YOU’VE GOT?! Send your little neutered lap dog, Claudio, after me, cuz B*TCH, I’m still standing!”
The fans fire up and Claudio says okay, still standing, huh? Claudio grabs an open chair, takes it with him to ringside, but SAMOA JOE is here! Claudio says bet! Claudio gets up on the railing, Yuta is even backing him, but then Claudio spots Shibata and Hobbs walking up from the other side! The Opps continue to have Hangman’s back, but speaking of back, MARINA sneaks in behind Hangman! But she blocks the briefcase attack! The fans fire up and Hangman shouts, “Mox, have I got something of yours? HUH?! Be the champion you say you are! Be the champion you say you are and give me Texas Death! GIVE ME TEXAS DEATH!!”
Moxley is furious that the sneak attack failed so he storms back up to ringside. Moxley says fine, if Hangman wants it, he’s got it! ALL IN: TEXAS DEATH!! The fans are all fired up and Hangman grins. Hangman then walks up to Marina and hands her the briefcase. The fans cheer for #CowboyS*it, but then Hangman remembers one thing! Mox, you said that Hangman didn’t have what it takes for Texas Death, but Mox knows that’s a lie. But in case Mox needs to see that Hangman will do anything it takes… What?! BUCKSHOT ON MARINA!! No one can believe it, and Moxley is even angrier than before! But will Hangman do a lot worse once the bell rings?
Toni Storm is with Rachel Brosnahan.
The AEW Women’s World Champion is with the new Lois Lane in the new Superman film, and Rachel says she used to wrestle in high school. Toni asks what they used to call Rachel, and she says, “Just Rachel.” Oh, well, they should fix that. Rachel Reckoning! Rachel the Relentless! No, wait! Rachel the Ravishing Raven! Wait, wait! Rachel the Metropolis Maven! Rachel says she’ll take ’em. Put those on a shirt. Why yes, darling! See Superman in theaters starting July 11th!
Toni Storm heads to the ring!
And now, the AEW Women’s World Champion is accompanied by her butler, Luther, on the way out so that she may join commentary once again.
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Mina Shirakawa!
The CEO is currently #FiveBeltsMone, but she is so confident she’ll stay that way that she’s served Toni Storm a steak dinner to watch as she serves the Fighting Gravure Idol an L! But will Mone stay the Face of TBS? Or will we all be watching #MinaNow?
The introductions are made, the teal title is raised, and we see if the Money Train loses some of its cargo!
Mone lounges on a corner while the bell rings, and Mina runs up to HAMMER Mone down! The fans fire up as Mina fires off but Mone uses the ropes as a defense! The ref backs Mina off, Mone bails out, but Mina gives chase! They go around the outside, back into the ring, and Mone stomps away! The fans boo but Mone stops as the ref reprimands. Mone shows off the pics of Toni on the soles of her boots, then rips them off to throw them at Mina. Toni is rather anxious and worried right now, but Mina manages to KNEE Mone in return! Mina then slips under, but Mone sits on the sunset! The ref says she’s in the ropes!
Mone lets go, Mina sunsets, ONE! The fans duel as Mina SOBATS, runs, but Mone dodges and rolls Mina down into a crossface! Mina pops free, has Mone’s legs, but Mone kicks free. Things speed up, but Mina turns hurdle into FLAPJACK! Mina does her shimmy, says that belt is hers, but then has to go Matrix to dodge a haymaker! Victory roll, TWO! Mone blocks a punch to THROW Mina down by her hair! The ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Mone drags Mina up. Toni is in no mood to eat as Mone says this is ognna be her soon! Mone whips, but Mina reverses to THESZ PRESS! Mina rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!
The ref counts, Mina is throwing those closed fists. Mina stops, but she fires up to THROW Mone! The fans fire up and Mina storms up on Mone again. Mina TOSSES Mone the other way! The fans fire up as Mina shakes it up! Mina then stalks Mone, but Mone ELBOWS her away. Mone hits DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Mone is up and METEORA! Mone throws down fists instead of going for the pin! The fans boo and Mone TOSSES Mina! Mone mocks Toni’s flailing about but Toni is not amused as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The other screen doesn’t really show up right away… Did they mean to go to break? Well, we return to single picture eventually, and Mina has Mone down. Toni is still worried as Mone claims her leg is hurting. Mina SPLASHES, covers, TWO! Mina drags Mone to center to SPLASH the leg! Mina wants the Figure Four but Mone drags her into the STATEMENT MAKER! Mina endures, the fans rally up, and Mina fights forward. Mone kicks off the ropes, but Mina rolls free! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” but Mone CLUBS at Mina’s leg! Mina SLAPS Mone, pushes on the hold, but Mone SLAPS back!
Mone rolls, rolls, and they end up on the apron, then fall to the floor! The leglock is undone and Toni is even more concerned. It’s almost like she’s watching a horror movie. The fans rally for Mina as she and Mone are still in this. Mina brings Mone up, sends her at the ring but Mone reverses. Mina tiger feint kicks from the apron! Then she FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up and Mina hurries to TORNADO DDT to the floor! The fans fire up even more and Mina puts Mone in the ring. Mone tiger feint kicks in return! Mone then METEORAS to the floor! Double-edged as Mone clutches her leg, but Toni has gone back to being stoic.
Mina and Mone stir while the ref starts the ring count. The count is 8, Mone rolls in, but Mina is in at 9! Mina and Mone have wild looks in their eyes, and they both grab each other by the hair! They stand up, Mone talks trash, and she fires a forearm! Mina laughs that off, then puts some stank on her FOREARM SHOT! Mina eggs Mone on, and the forearms fly! The fans boo Mone, cheer Mina, and repeat! The shots go faster and faster, Mone gets the edge, but Mina whips her away. Mina runs in, but Mone BOOTS her! Mone goes up, FLYING SUNSET FLIPS, but Mina rolls through! BASEMENT METEORA! Mone storms around but the fans boo.
Mone runs corner to corner, SUNSET BUCKLE BOMB! Shoutout to her Role Model, and then a METEORA in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Mina survives and Mone grows frustrated, and Toni seems concerned again. The fans duel more as Mone climbs up. METEORA AGAIN! NO, Mina rolls through, SMASHES the knee on the mat again and again, then hits a DRAGON SCREW! Mina has the legs, FIGURE FOUR!! Mone endures, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! A fingertip saves Mone, but Mina lets go to go up the corner! The fans rally again, but Mone stands. Mina leaps to FLYING SLINGBLADE! Cover, TWO!!

Mone runs away, but only for Toni to let her guard down! Mone CLOBBERS Toni from behind!! The fans boo as Mone goes to the cake she had waiting, licks some of the frosting, then she throws the champagne in Luther’s face! Ten days are all that remain, will Mone show that Toni’s time is up and that her time is now?
Matthew Jackson has a surprise for Nicholas Jackson.
Matt has his brother keep his eyes closed as they walk out into the parking lot. Matt says that since they’re in Ontario, California, and that’s a stone’s throw away from their hometown of Rancho Cucamonga, AND since it is episode 300 of Dynamite, this is a homecoming for them. Matt wanted to celebrate early, went on a shopping spree with the company card, and well… Look! Nick opens his eyes, and it is a stretch limo with their “Founding Fathers” design all over it! Well, in a way, Tony Khan bought this for them. But the outside is just the beginning. Check what’s inside! A tone of new Nike shoes! Nick loves having power and wealth.
Matt says this is how he sees things going: They go on a trip down memory lane, see some of their favorite childhood spots, and then enjoy themselves. The Bucks hop inside, the driver pulls out of the lot, and we begin the montage of The Bucks sharing Rancho Cucamonga with the world. First, Bear Gulch Elementary. Nick had his first kiss here. And the one time he told his teacher to “Suck it,” he got written up for it. They might be the only famous people to ever come out of this city. The reminiscing is set to continue, but will Matt & Nick be ready for their match alongside Konosuke Takeshita? Or will they be a little to high on themselves to care?
AEW returns and…
After the Bucks get some In N Out burgers ‘n’ fries, they stop by their childhood home. And immediately scratch themselves on the chain link fence. It always felt bigger when they were kids. But anyway, it’s more fun in the limo. The Bucks head out again, where will their next stop on “memory lane” be?
Men’s Casino Gauntlet Number Two Spot Fatal 4 Way: MJF VS Anthony Bowens VS Brody King VS AR Fox!
The Scumbag had to eat his words last week when Mark Briscoe won the number one spot in the All In Men’s Casino Gauntlet, but now he looks to get in right behind him. However, the Pride of Professional Wrestling says he has his five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong! Will Bowens get to scissoring and cut MJF in line? Or are they both overlooking the King of Death and the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and Ontario is pretty strongly behind “Brody! Brody! BRODY EFFIN’ KING!” MJF says hold on, hold on. MJF brings out stacks of cash to give to Brody so he and Brody can work together here. Brody throws MJF’s money down! MJF scrambles out of the ring, but Brody and the others pursue! MJF hurries back into the ring, the ref is cleaning up the strewn money, and MJF bails out the other side. MJF hides behind commentary, but also the Hurt Syndicate. The fans are torn between booing and chanting, “We Hurt~ People!” Brody DOUBLE LARIATS Fox and Bowens! Brody then drags Fox up to THROW him into railing!
Brody ROCKS Fox and sits him down in a chair. Bowens runs up, but he’s sent into railing, too! Brody then whips Bowens hard into the far side! Brody CHOPS Bowens and makes him sit! Brody runs and SPLASHES Fox against railing! The fans bark, MJF joins commentary long enough to say he works smarter, not harder, and he’ll let Brody destroy these guys for him. And then Brody SPLASHES Bowens against railing! The fans fire up as MJF says he doesn’t want no part of that. Brody puts Fox in the ring while MVP says MJF is cerebral, letting the big guy do the work so he can clean up the scraps.
Brody runs at Fox in a corner but Fox dodges! Fox BOOTS Brody, runs in and A-LIST LARIATS! Bowens runs up but Fox ELBOWS him away!

SUPERKICK to Brody, then a FAMOUSER! The fans fire up for Bowens but MJF still claims he’ll slip in and take that “easy dub.” MJF then mockingly asks Excalibur if we’re gonna see tope conjilos and such. Fox puts Bowens on the apron, sweeps the legs, then runs to BLACK HOLE – Wait, the ropes aren’t cooperating.
Fox slingshots to DOUBLE STOMP Bowens all the same, then he jumps in and BOOTS Brody off the apron! Fox goes to the apron and springboards, IMPLODER SENTON!

Bowens throws haymakers! MJF CLAWS Bowens’ eyes! MJF digs his boots in on Bowens, then goes back to Fox. MJF uses his scarf to CHOKE Fox! The ref reprimands but that’s all he can do, and MJF lets Fox go so that he can CHOKE Bowens with the scarf! The ref reprimands, MJF stops, and he dusts himself off.
MJF swaggers around, does a Fargo Strut, but Bowens ROCKS him with a right! And ROCKS him again! Then Bowens puts MJF in a corner to rain down fists! Bowens goes all the way to ten, but then MJF hits an atomic drop! MJF scoops Bowens to SLAM him, then he sits Bowens up so he can rally the fans. MJF runs, runs, but then just THRUSTS in Bowens’ face! Dynamite 300 returns to single picture, MJF grins as the fans cheer and jeer, but then they all bark because Brody is back! MJF backs up into Brody, turns around to see him, and Brody CHOPS MJF down! Bowens fires off the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK on Brody!
Fox goes Matrix to dodge Bowens and then PELES! But then he does it again to dodge MJF! MJF dodges, Fox blocks a kick and FLIPS MJF, but MJF lands on his feet! MJF pokes Fox in the eyes! MJF soaks up cheers and jeers, but Bowens BOOTS him! Fox & Bowens DOUBLE BOOT Brody, then DOUBLE FOREARM MJF! Then they DOUBLE BOOT Brody again! Brody roars and DOUBLE LARIATS again!

Winner: MJF, by submission (guaranteed #2 entrant in the Casino Gauntlet)
MJF vows that the gauntlet will be his! He is coming for that golden ticket to the top! The Hurt Syndicate celebrates with their guy, but “Reach for the Sky!” Here comes Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as Briscoe shows off the new shirt: “MJF has a Tiny Kosher Pickle!” Briscoe congratulates MJF on winning this match, making him the #2 in the Casino Gauntlet. MJF says yeah, that’s right! Briscoe adds that the bad news is, Briscoe is the #1! That means MJF has ensured himself an uninterrupted ass whooping at least for a brief moment in time. The fans cheer that! They also chant “TINY PICKLE!” and MJF tells them to shut up!
Briscoe shrugs as he looks at his own shirt. Briscoe does want to make this clear, he is not addressing Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin or MVP when he says this. He is talking directly to the man who called him a “Blue Collar B*tch” on national TV. MJF says that’s cuz he is one! Briscoe says the “blue collar” is a badge of armor. But that “b*tch” comment is what has ensured that beatdown! The fans cheer that, too! But Briscoe wants MJF to know that he is always two steps ahead.
So here is a proposition: Next week on Dynamite, MJF has the Hurt Syndicate stay in the back while he gets in the ring with a microphone. Briscoe will then make his way out with a microphone so that they can have a little talky talk. The fans chant “TALKY TALK!” and MJF can’t believe it. Briscoe says if MJF has a pair of nuts next to that tiny pickle, he will accept! The fans cheer that, too! Will the Wolf of Wrestling play fair with the Sussex County Chicken? And wait, here comes #JetSpeed! Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight are back on their feet, and they wanna fight! Lashley & Shelton storm out, and then they get SUPERKICKS for it!
The hands fly, Hurt Syndicate shoves JetSpeed down, but JetSpeed rolls through, dodges the lariats, and slip into the ring! Then they DOUBLE PLANCHA! Down go the tag team champions! Knight & Bailey throw off their shirts to show the taped-up torsos, but they’ve still got heart! They put Shelton back in the ring, hurry after him, but then Lashley is up! The tables turn as Lashley CLOBBERS JetSpeed! He POSTS Bailey while Shelton stomps away on Knight! Then Shelton whips Knight hard into a corner! Lashley drags Bailey back from the corner, Shelton kicks Bailey low, then DECKS him!
Lashley fires KNEE after KNEE into Knight’s ribs, and hits a FLATLINER! Shelton stands Bailey back up so he can scoop SLAM him down beside Knight! The fans are torn but MJF mockingly says he has $100 on Hurt Syndicate. That is definitely the safe bet, but Knight manages to rise up? Knight shouts at them and says they didn’t finish the job! They’re still standing! MJF asks if they’re outta their minds, and MVP says those two are just stupid. He sends Lashley & Shelton back in, the brawl is on again, but then Shelton and Lashley hoist JetSpeed up! STEREO POWERBOMBS!! MJF says now they’re cooked, they can leave.
The Hurt Syndicate regroups and leaves JetSpeed behind. But then Knight rises up again!? Knight says they won’t back down! He and Bailey stand again, so MVP says okay, third time’s the charm. The brawl goes off again, and Lashley RAMS Bailey into buckles! And RAMS him again and again and again! Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KICK Knight in the corner! Lashley drags Bailey back up, gut wrenches, and DOMINATOR!! MJF says stay down! JetSpeed sputters, Hurt Syndicate goes up the ramp, but now Knight gets a mic?! “Hey! Hey! We are still alive! Hurt Syndicate, you may know how to hurt people, but in order to keep those titles, you gotta learn how to kill us.”
MVP has Lashley stand down this time, but Knight tells Shelton that Mama Benjamin must’ve taught him how to fight, “cuz you hit like a b*tch!” Collision 100, Knight VS Shelton 1v1! MJF has Shelton stand down, and the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Will Knight & Bailey keep fighting until they’ve got the titles they want? Or will Collision 100 be their last?
The Founding Fathers Limousine pulls up.
The Young Bucks have finished their reminiscing and are now dressed to compete. They salute themselves before walking into the arena for their entrance. Will the EVPs and The Alpha prove that sometimes, villains win? Or can Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly & The Most Wanted show that heroes are undisputed?
Six Man Tag: Bandido & Paragon VS Konosuke Takeshita & The Young Bucks!

Swerve & Ospreay challenged you to a match at All In: Texas. And we want you to put those EVP titles on the line.
“Now just to clarify a couple things… This isn’t Swerve & Will trying to become EVPs, because one, I don’t trust Will with that kind of power. And two, we’re putting the EVP titles on someone that it’s always belonged to, and that was you people!” The fans cheer that! Swerve says there is only one man that runs this company, the chairman & CEO, Tony Khan! Ospreay says, “Lads, you don’t wanna wrestle us? You don’t wanna wrestle us at All In, the show that you created? The company that you created, and you guys don’t wanna wrestle us? Are these guys Young Bucks? Or Young *ucks?” Nick says watch your mouth!
The fans fire up and Ospreay says let’s get an answer! Matt says, “What’s with you guys?! First Hangman and now you guys, you think you make the rules? You think you book the stipulations? You’re not the boss! WE ARE! We’re EVPs, you aren’t! So you want an answer? You want it right now? HELL NO! Cuz what do we get outta this? Thanks but no thanks.” The fans boo as The Bucks head up the ramp, but Ospreay says he has something The Bucks might be interested in. Ospreay whispers to Swerve real quick, Swerve seems unsure, but Ospreay says if The Bucks accept the match and win, then Ospreay & Swerve can’t challenge for the AEW World Championship for one whole year.
Swerve is upset, that is not what he thought Ospreay would say. Ospreay says Swerve needs to trust him. One year max. Matt says that’s the smartest thing Ospreay’s ever suggested. Deal! But… Get Swerve on the same page with that. They can tell he’s a little confused. Swerve, it is up to you. If this is what you want, too, then the match is a done deal. Swerve frowns, Ospreay says they can do this. They have to do this! Swerve says deal! Matt says see you at All In, p*icks! The stakes just got raised, but will Ospreay & Swerve really be able to strip The Bucks of their power? Or will they end up on the outside looking?

The fans are thunderous for the Golden Lovers reunion! With ten days left, Omega is back and ready to fight! But will he be in fighting shape by July 12th? Or is he risking a lot more than just a title at All In?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite for episode 300, and it moved pretty well with a lot of focus on matches and not that many promos. Great opening promo from Hangman, and daring the Death Riders to anything was of course going to bring them all out to beat him up. But again, Opps stand in the way, I feel like there should be a way to put the AEW World Trios Championships on the line as the Opps haven’t been defending them. How wild would it be for Hook to join Death Riders since he feels replaced within The Opps? Hangman hitting Marina with the Buckshot was pretty wild, too, and I like that we’re making this a Texas Death Match now to really fit the importance of this match.
Awesome TBS Championship match, and Toni played her role in a very different way than I expected. But as close as Mina looked time and again, of course Mone retains. She gets the win on Mina, she gets the sneak attack on Toni, the momentum is with her, meaning Toni is likely to win at All In. I still hold out hope they at least make it for both AEW titles, but maybe that’s too much like Omega and Okada fighting to be a unified champion. But the thing is, Toni winning means she would be owed a shot at any of the titles Mone holds, outside of the Queen of Harts belt. It’d be fitting if it was the Rev-Pro belt when Forbidden Door: London is next on the schedule.
Awesome Fatal 4 to determine #2 in the Casino Gauntlet, but I figured MJF would win. Great promo from Briscoe to challenge MJF to a “talky talk.” And again, fans love Briscoe cuz they chanted that right away. JetSpeed going after Hurt Syndicate and pulling off something reminiscent of Dolph Ziggler getting beat down and still getting up. Also nice deep cut bringing up Shelton’s mama from that failed angle where “Mama Benjamin” was Shelton’s manager. Shelton VS Knight will be great, and impressing MVP through that match could be a way for JetSpeed to earn their tag title shot at All In.
The Young Bucks going around Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga was some fun stuff, and they did a good job playing up being so above their humble beginnings. Awesome Six Man Tag from them and Konosuke against Bandido & Paragon. Those trios combo moves were great, and the Heels win so that Konosuke has momentum going into next week’s Supercard of Honor. Hard to say Konosuke wins the ROH World Championship. I don’t wanna says he’s above it, but then what? We end up in a similar situation to Jericho where the world champ is barely on the show he represents? But Konosuke needs something if he wants to also go strong into a possible feud with Okada.
Ospreay & Swerve going after The Bucks was a great segue into the main event, and I like that we’re also raising the stakes on their match. EVP titles VS no title shot for 12 months, certainly interesting stories to be told either way. But given it’s an entire YEAR of no Ospreay or Swerve going after the world title, I’m leaning towards The Bucks giving up their EVP status. Then they go on a journey to relearn what it was that made them who they are, making their memory lane trip a bit of foreshadowing.
My Score: 9/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?

The fans are electric and it’s not just the volt green! Time for a SUPERKICK PARTAY~! Wait, Stokely grabs a foot each! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Stoke can’t even trip The Bucks up.

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?
Backstage interview with Don Callis, Mark Davis and Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?
The teams sort out, Lena starts against Slay, and the clock is ticking! Slay DROPKICKS, but Lena doesn’t budge! Ley ENZIGIRIS, but Lena still doesn’t flinch! Ley & Slay double kick, but Lena blocks the double whip! Lena whips them, ELBOWS Slay and SPIN-OUT SIDEWALK SLAMS Ley! Then she scoops Slay to SLAM her onto Ley! Lena drags Ley up, whips her to the corner, then runs up to LARIAT! And ELBOW! Tag to Megan and the Divine Dominion run side to side! BOOT from Lena, BOOT from Megan! Then GERMAN SUPLEX! Ley tumbles, the fans cheer, and Megan tags Lena back in. Lena storms up on Ley to GERMAN SUPLEX again!
The fans cheer as Lena tags Megan back in. We’ve hit 90 seconds, but it feels like forever for Ley as Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Megan kips up, then she stalks Ley. Megan eggs Ley on, slaps her around, then drags her up. Megan fireman’s carries, but Slay manages to tag in! Slay runs up, but Megan scoops her! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?

The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10
