PLAY BY PLAY
Bryan Danielson is here!
Glasgow cheers and chants “YES! YES! YES!” as The American Dragon returns to Dynamite! He is joining commentary for this AEW debut in Scotland, and he is just as fired up as the fans.
Will Ospreay is here!
Glasgow fires up even more as The Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring. The fans chant, “OSPREAY! OSPREAY!” to the rhythm, and the #BillyGoat grabs himself a mic. The fans then sing, “OSPREAY~, OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY~! OSPREAY~, OSPREAY~!” Ospreay revels in the moment, then says, “Thanks for that. It’s been one of the worst months in my life, but I can depend on you guys cheering me up. I can always count on Glasgow.
“I remember the first time I ever came here, I was doing an indie, and it’s one of those ones where you fly into Glasgow Airport, the promoter didn’t put me in a hotel, so he put me straight to the venue, classic Scotland promotion. Got there at 10 AM, show doesn’t start until 7 PM, the show actually ends at 10 PM. All these wrestlers wanna go out to the bar. I think, ‘Let’s show ’em how it’s done.’ Alright, Glasgow, you know? And spoiler alert: We murder the Yanks when it comes to drinking.” The fans cheer that! Ospreay says they get a taxi, Ospreay is starving, can’t see straight, but in the distance, Glasgow Town Center, Ospreay sees blue lights.
Ospreay opens his eyes, and he sees, “Closes Late, Greggs Sausage Rolls.” The fans cheer, Ospreay thanks the Lord, and the fans even sing, “Sausage, Sausage Rolllls~! Sausage, Sausage Rolllllls~!” Ospreay says he knew this would happen. Ospreay says it was none of that vegan crap, either, get that outta here! Bryan stands up on commentary but Ospreay tells him to relax, mate. Ospreay just knows he hates letting fans like in Glasgow down. They’ve known each other so long, he’s grown up in front of us all, he is grateful for the support they’ve given him. These aren’t just people, they’re his people. The fans applaud that.
Ospreay says last week, he was given the worst news, it’ll change his life forever, and it is all because of what Jon Moxley & The Death Riders did to him. The fans boo but Ospreay says when he was young, he felt invincible, could bounce back like a flippin’ rubber ball. He was made out of rubber, could do nothing wrong. He wasn’t even human! Taka Michinoku even once said, “He’s an alien!” But first time in his life, Ospreay feels human. To be honest, he is scared. Because he knows he’ll be walking down the road that other wrestlers have gone down before and have never come back the same. The fans already cheer their support, sensing what is coming.
Ospreay continues by saying here is the truth, and you might spin it and turn it into whatever. But last week, Ospreay did not get cleared for Forbidden Door. They won’t let Ospreay wrestle in his own hometown. 30 minutes from his door, and he can’t wrestle. The fans boo that, but Ospreay says he told them, he’ll just take it into his own hands! That’s why it is Lights Out Steel Cage. If you don’t get what it means, it means it will be unsanctioned. Whatever happens on Sunday, it is not on AEW, this is all on Ospreay. And he knows what everyone is thinking: Please don’t die. The fans even chant it now, “Please Don’t Die!”
Ospreay says he is aware of the risks. And he is comfortable taking these risks, because this place means so much to him. The fans cheer that! Ospreay says he is here to prove a point, that this next generation is going to be looking up to these three letters, and that Ospreay is going to be the standard for this place! So if it involves it, if there’s even a small chance Ospreay can’t be THE Will Ospreay after Sunday, then he’s gonna leave everything in this ring! The fans cheer again, and Ospreay continues by saying the main reason he is doing this… is for revenge, bruv!
Ospreay will enter the steel cage with four good friends, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, and Darby Allin! They will tear the Death Riders and theirs apart! This is for Ospreay! Before they take a scalpel to him, he will take his pound of flesh from Jon Moxley! The fans definitely cheer that! But speak of the Maniac and he appears, Moxley makes his way into the building with Marina Shafir following after. They go from around the stage and through the crowd. The fans boo as Moxley storms into the ring to stare Ospreay down. Moxley talks a bit of trash, but then we spot Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta approaching.
Ospreay says whoa, whoa, Jon. The Ace of AEW needs “Slap Head and Geezer” to fight his battles? But this Sunday, Ospreay is coming for Moxley. So if Moxley wants to get rid of Ospreay, don’t let your boys do it. Do it yourself. Ospreay drops the mic as he drops the challenge, but here comes #JetSpeed! Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey throw hands with Yuta and Claudio, Moxley goes after them, but here comes The Ace of the Universe! Hiroshi Tanahashi storms his way right to the ring, he isn’t waiting for later! The appetizer to Forbidden Door is here, will President Tanahashi take down the “One True King of AEW?”

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Dynamite from the great city of Glasgow, Scotland, and he immediately welcomes out The Rated R Superstar, Adam Copeland! The fans sing Metalingus but Cope gets no pyro tonight, just not possible in the OVO Hydro apparently. But as soon as the singing is over, Captain Charisma, Christian Cage makes his entrance! Schiavone says this is quite a moment. It has been a long time since we saw these two together, and the fans are making it clear how special this is as they lose their minds. Christian wants to make things clear. First, Glasgow, sit down and shut your mouths while he conducts-
Cope stops Christian already and asks what he’s doing. Is he still going to be that guy? C’mon! The people love them! The fans do cheer that. Cope says they are inarguably one of the greatest tag teams of all time. The fans cheer that, too! Cope says he gets it, though, Christian is what he is: An a-hole. The fans cheer that, too! Christian straightens his jacket in annoyance but Cope says here’s what he has learned in this industry: Sometimes, you need an a-hole. And it just so happens that Christian is Cope’s a-hole. The fans chant, “He’s Your A-Hole!” Schiavone brings up Cope telling Christian at All In that he needed to “Go Find Yourself.” So, has he?
Christian says that’s right, at All In: Texas, Adam Copeland picked Christian up by the hand and said to “go find yourself.” He took some time and he did just that. He took some time, went away, looked deep within his soul… And he found himself. And guess what he found? Christian doesn’t need to change a thing, he’s perfect just the way he is! The fans cheer and Cope sighs. Christian knows people are wondering if these two are on the same page, and he assures us, they are NOT! Not by a long shot! There have been a lot said and done, a lot of scar tissue. But Christian will say this: They are at least writing the same book.
Now, people were hoping for a happy, bubbly reunion of one of, if not THE, greatest tag team of all time… But this is not a happy reunion. This is out of necessity. Cope has agreed to help Christian with his Nick & Kip problem so that in turn, Christian will help Cope with his FTR problem. And beyond that, he will look Cope in the eye to say he can’t commit beyond that. But while his word hasn’t meant that much, Christian stands here in front of Cope and Scotland to stick his hand out, shake Cope’s hand, and say that this version of Christian, the one who found himself three years ago, will be the best tag team partner Cope’s ever had.
The fans cheer that! Christian and Cope then shake hands! But then Kip Sabian interrupts with, “Well, well, well! Isn’t this cute?” The fans boo, but Superbad asks Christian, “What have you become? Pandering for the attention and the love of the people who you despised. You know what you are, Christian? Pathetic!” The fans boo but Shayna Wayne asks who they are to boo them? The fans boo louder, but she asks who are they to boo a mother! And not just any mother! She is the mother to the Prodigy, Nick Wayne! And where is Nick? He’s on the tron, in crutches?!
Nick tells Christian & Cope, “Sorry to interrupt this cute little reunion between two guys who claim that they’re legends when they’re both simply hanging on to their careers threads. But we’ll get to that another time. For now, let’s address last Wednesday. Christian, you hit the ring to save an old friend of yours in Cope. And just like I said I’d always be, I wasn’t too far behind. It just so happened to be that you hit the ring with that Spike, swinging it at me, attempting to take my life from me! And you may not have gotten what you wanted in trying to take my head off, but you did get something that’s just gonna save your ass for the time being.
“And that was that you broke my foot!” The fans cheer as Nick says Christian put Nick on the shelf for weeks! Christian took Forbidden Door away from him! But believe Nick when he tells you this: If he’d shown up, he would’ve turned what’s supposed to be a special reunion into a very quick farewell tour for Cope & Christian! Nick would’ve embarrassed them in front of the entire world! He would’ve taken their entire careers away from them! So it is a blessing in disguise that Nick won’t be there. Or is it? “Christian Cage, I am always one step ahead.” What does that mean? Wait. Video plays of LUCHASAURUS being revived!!
The fans go nuts, and now the wrestling dinosaur is here!! Luchasaurus storms down to the ring, right up to Christian & Cope! Christian’s Right Hand is no longer his to command! Kip slithers in from behind but Christian DECKS him! Cope rushes Luchasaurus, but Luchasaurus hits a JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM! Christian turns around to see this, and the fans chant for Luchasaurus! Luchasaurus turns to leave, but then he turns back around to grab Christian! JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM! The monster is back, and he replaced Nick Wayne in the match! Will Christian & Cope survive the “Killswitch” that’s about to flip?
Mark Briscoe speaks.
The Sussex County Chicken is still looking for MJF! He says he has had enough! He flew across the damn Atlantic Ocean just to find him, and when he does, he’s gonna kill ’em! Briscoe storms off, will the Scumbag make himself scarce until Sunday and Forbidden Door?
Ricochet & The Gates of Agony speak.
The One & Only says, “Ladies and gentlemen, what you are looking at right now is the hottest group in all of professional wrestling.” But then MJF barges in and interrupts. The Scumbag says, “Look, as you know for sure by now, I don’t like you. Bald people freak me out, and the idea of me being bald gives me agida.” MJF sees Kaun & Liona step up and says hold on, this is all business. “As the old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and right now, our enemy is looking for moi. So what would happen, pray tell, if all of us found him first? So what do you say? Wanna be my friend?”
Ricochet tells MJF that normally, Ricochet would love to see MJF running around here, stressed to the max like a chicken with his head cut off. But… Briscoe does irk Ricochet, and the three of them do owe Briscoe something. So MJF has himself a deal. Yes, good! Now, time to plan. Cameraman, get outta here. The camera shuts off, what will these “gentlemen” cook up with their agreement?
AEW World Tag Team Championships #1 Contender’s Tournament Finals: FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Brody King & Bandido!
The Hurt Syndicate doesn’t really care who they face, so long as that team can bring the fight. And while the #LivingLegendKillers have needed #BigStoke to back them up, they are still a formidable duo. On the other side, the King of Death and the Most Wanted have not only been a surprising combination, but an effective one. Will #Brodido take the #TopGuysOut? Or is FTR one match away from a future third reign?

They fought for 30 minutes but it’s a DRAW! However, BREAKING NEWS right from Tony Khan! This makes the title match a TRIPLE THREAT!! Stokely doesn’t like this bittersweet scenario, but surely the Hurt Syndicate won’t- WAIT! They head to the ring! Lashley & Shelton are already dressed to fight, but they leave it at holding up their AEW World Tag Team Championships. Will they just have to hurt four men instead of two? Or will there be new champions one way or another?
Hangman Page is here!
Glasgow cheers the AEW World Champion as he goes to the ring and grabs a mic. Hangman says, “Last week, I was jumped from behind in the parking lot by Maxwell Jacob Friedman.” The fans boo that, but Hangman says attacking from behind is exactly how MJF likes to handle things. Underhanded, backstabbing, opportunistic. If MJF has ever had a problem in his life, he can’t look it head on because he does not have the balls to do it. And that is why Hangman knows that it is a waste of time, both his and the fans, to call MJF out because Hangman knows MJF won’t show up and get the piss beat outta him a few nights early, because he is an insecure, gutless coward!
The fans cheer, and Hangman tells MJF to know this: Once MJF signs his contract, and he stands across from Hangman across the ring at Forbidden Door, there will be nothing underhanded and no backstabbing. It will be only one opportunity at the world title for MJF, and Hangman swears to God, he is going to shove his size 12 ostrich leather boots straight up MJF’s checker-print ass! The fans cheer that, too! But wait, MJF shows his face after all! The fans are a bit torn as The Scumbag… lets his song play without showing up. Hangman paces, looking around in case of another sneak attack, but not even that happens.
The fans boo and Schiavone gets Hangman’s attention. There’s word that someone has a message for him. MJF has a camera with him, and he wants to speak to Hangman, BUT if Hangman leaves the ring before MJF finishes his message, “something bad” is going to happen. Hangman is annoyed by this but the tron has MJF’s feed. MJF tells “Seabiscuit” to look. Remember when MJF said Hangman is at his most vulnerable when he’s angry? Well, say hello to that vulnerability. MJF, Ricochet & The GOA did find Briscoe first, and he’s their hostage! MJF says here is the deal: Hangman will give MJF what he wants.
But don’t worry, MJF isn’t greedy. He just has three requests for Forbidden Door. Three simple requests, and then Briscoe will be safe and sound. But if Hangman refuses, well… MJF hands Kaun the camera so he can hold up a gas can! MJF dumps it out on Briscoe and says the Chicken is gonna be Kentucky fried. So here are MJF’s three demands: 1) The title can change via disqualification; 2) The title can change hands via count outs; and 3, a bonus one but only because Hangman tricked MJF into things for all of five seconds… MJF does NOT have to use his Casino Gauntlet Contract to get this match anymore.
So what’s it gonna be? Because about right now, MJF is going to ask for a lighter, and we’re going to find out if the people like it when MJF lights things on fire as much as they do when Hangman does it. Hangman has until the count of five. Kaun lights the lighter, MJF starts to count, Hangman tells MJF to put that down, but he caves! MJF gets what he wants! Oh, that’s what MJF thought. MJF blows out the lighter and says see you at Forbidden Door. Congrats, you’re still a hero. MJF’s feed cuts, Hangman storms out and grabs a chair! Hangman rushes to the back, but will he get to MJF before MJF leaves the building?
Dynamite returns and…
Hangman found Ricochet! SMACK!! Hangman demands to know where MJF went, but security drags him off of Ricochet! The security lets Hangman know that MJF is already gone. Hangman DECKS the guard who said it! Hangman storms out of the ring, Kaun & Liona step out of the locker room to see what happened, and now they’re mad! Will Hangman find MJF in Glasgow before he can skip town? Or will he just have to wait for Sunday to finally tear MJF apart?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
After the altercation earlier tonight, Matt & Nick Jackson will now face Roddy & Kyle in a tag match! Will The Bucks pay for trying to take Will Ospreay out early? Or will they finally get some respect around here? Then, the Don Callis Family finally names the kind of match they want to have with Team Sky Flight: an EIGHT MAN TAG! They obviously thought Sky Flight couldn’t accept since Christopher Daniels is retired, but surprise! Hiromu Takahashi joins the fight! Will the Ticking Timebomb help Scorpio, Dante & Darius humble The Jackal’s pack of dogs? Or will Hechicero, Lance Archer, Josh Alexander & Rocky Romero help Kyle Fletcher out by weakening Hiromu ahead of the TNT Championship match?
And speaking of the Don Callis Family, the Alpha returns having conquered the G1 Climax! Konosuke Takeshita is considering his options on when and where to face Zack Sabre Jr, but someone else wants to settle the score from WrestleDynasty! Tomohiro Ishii is calling Konosuke out, will the Stone Pitbull show how NJPW Strong he is? Or will Konosuke merely use him as a sharpening stone before going after THE IWGP World Heavyweight Champion?

Speaking of titles, Timeless Toni will defend her AEW Women’s World Championship against the ROH Women’s World Champion, and the Fallen Goddess is honoring the deal of executing her Casino Gauntlet Contract.

Alex and Perse also have a stare down, will either of them take that title off The CEO? Or will Mone find a way to keep the title that started it all?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to not just start things in Scotland but also to be a partial go-home to Forbidden Door. Collision will be some good stuff with the other go-home segments, such as that 8 Man Tag of Hiromu & Sky Flight VS Don Callis Family. Great stuff in the opening segments tonight, very good promo Ospreay to share what is surely some real news about his neck being a concern. I believe I once brought up how there was the “RIP Ospreay’s Neck” era in NJPW as he was wrapping up being a Junior Heavyweight, and it seems he is understanding those consequences now. And then a very good transition into the Six Man Tag with how Death Riders confronted Ospreay.
Great stuff from JetSpeed as always, and I liked the amount of overbooking here because it also worked in story. Marina was a bit blatant with her interference so of course she got caught. And I had a feeling we were getting a bait ‘n’ switch to bring Darby out. Really wild that they needed four Bullet Club guys to show up just to cost Tanahashi, but with The Opps also showing up, I have a feeling we’re getting a slapdash AEW World Trios Championship match, Opps VS Connors, Drilla & Robbie. It’ll be a great match, but I feel like that’s a win for Opps. I’ll say it again from last week, TK wasted LFI on a throwaway match.
Really good stuff in the AEW World Championship story. Briscoe being here just to hunt down MJF was a clever way to have MJF and Ricochet use him against Hangman. I didn’t think they’d pull this move but I suppose it is very MJF of MJF to coerce the Face into agreeing to his terms. Now there’s a chance we get a “double header” should MJF actually lose his No Champion’s Advantage match. Though, it’d also serve MJF right if he loses the No Champion’s Advantage, cashes in the Casino Gauntlet Contract, and then Hangman uses Champion’s Advantage via a low blow, thereby disqualifying himself.
Insane stuff with the tag tournament finals, that was practically a title match itself. I did not think they’d pull a time limit draw, but as soon as they reached 25 minutes, it all became clear. Awesome stuff, and now that the title match is a Triple Threat, any team can win and the others are protected by the virtue of how Triple Threats work. Great promo from Christian & Cope, especially with Christian stubbornly clinging to being the Heel here. Awesome stuff with Luchasaurus returning, and I feel like this move happened now rather than at Forbidden Door because of Nick Wayne’s bad foot. Otherwise, he would’ve shown up during the match to screw Christian & Cope over. Also, the mystery person helping “revive” Luchasaurus, that might’ve been Jack Perry…
And great main event tag match, great interactions between them all, especially Toni bringing out the Austin Powers reference to taunt Mone. Great way to get to the finish, and great win for the Heels. Athena pinning Alex, it makes me think Athena doesn’t beat Toni, and then she has to turn around and worry about Mina at Death Before Dishonor. It’d be a bit of a shame if Athena “lost it all” this next week, but that’d certainly be one way for her to move to AEW and let Mina carry the torch for ROH.

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Copeland is here!
The fans fire up and sing along as The Rated R Superstar makes his entrance, complete with the pyro but also a black eye. Cope goes to the ring, he grabs a mic, and he tells Seattle, “If you couldn’t tell, Dynasty on Sunday didn’t necessarily go our way. Yes, my face got messed up, way to go, Einstein. I got glue in my forehead, staples in my forehead, I got a shiner. Let’s face it, FTR… They said what they were gonna do and they did it.” The fans boo but Cope says they got to Christian, too, that’s why he’s not here. Christian’s gotta get an MRI on his forearm to see if it’s broke. The fans also boo that.
Cope says FTR gave his wife a piledriver. They took Christian’s watch! And in Christian’s world, that’s actually worse! There are three things you don’t mess with when it comes to Christian: His watch, his wine, and his women. In that order. But FTR, on Dynamite, you came out and said that while you’re the champions, Cope & Cage will not get another title shot. The fans boo again, but Cope says he is cooking an idea on that so bear with him. But if FTR thinks that this is just about titles, that C&C are just gonna walk away cuz they didn’t win at Dynasty, they’ve watched C&C’s careers and think that these two are just gonna walk away?
Do you think that they’re just gonna tuck their tails and run? The fans say “NO!” Cope says that is NOT what they do! Christian was forced to retire for seven YEARS! He busted his ass and he got this back! The fans cheer that, and Cope says he was retired for NINE YEARS, told he can never do this again because if he fell over, he could die! But Cope is standing here, full o’ piss ‘n’ vinegar! C&C are like dogs on a bone, and they will END FTR and take their pound of flesh! The fans cheer, but then FTR makes their way out here. Cope is ready to fight, but where are they? FTR walks out on stage, and Stoke has the mic as he smiles at Cope.
But then RPG VICE rush Cope, just like last week! Cope is ready this time and he fights off Rocky & Trent, but now FTR joins in! The fans boo this 4v1 mugging with Stoke cheering them on! But wait! The Young Bucks rush out here! Matt & Nick Jackson rush the ring, and they dodge FTR to CLOBBER RPG Vice! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for FTR! RPG Vice go after The Bucks, then send them at each other! The Bucks reverse to LARIAT Rocky, then they DOUBLE SUPERKICK Trent! Cope SPEARS Trent down and the fans fire up! Cope snarls as he stands back up, and he shakes hands with The Bucks as thanks for the help.
Cope & The Bucks stare FTR down as FTR retreats, but will The Bucks and C&C have to fight it out to go after those tag team championships?
Jack Perry speaks.
“At Dynasty, I got my first taste of what it’s like to defend this championship. And it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. But Don Callis, you only got close enough to get a sniff, because I beat your biggest, baddest and most dangerous, Mark Davis. But after what you just did to the Young Bucks, well, I wanna shove this up your big, stupid, spray-tanned nose. So why don’t you go ahead and pick your favorite goon out of the bunch and meet me next week in Portland so that I can add another notch to my belt as the National Champion.” Jungle Jack has thrown out the challenge, but who will be up to the task?

Y’all’re about to get screwed!” The fans boo but like it or not, these Dogs are off the leash! What will they do in order to become the top dogs of AEW?
The Divine Dominion speaks.
“Like the mythic deities of ancient Greece, the Divine stand high above all. Adorned in iridescent jewels and gold, we captivate and we dominate. Our beauty, exquisite. Our fury, unrivaled. Our power, everlasting. She is the Colossal Lena Kross. She is the Megasus, Megan Bayne. And we are the Divine Dominion.” Who dares step to their throne next?

Hook & Shibata are back, and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil says he found this crazy coffee shop in Seattle. But then Anthony Bowens walks in and says he’s glad he found them. Bowens needs to know right now, is he Opps or not? Hook says slow your roll, bud! Hook will give Bowens his decision next week. Hook’s the boss now, so what he says goes. Bowens says yeah, okay, boss. The 5 Tool Player heads out, Hook goes back to talking about the coffee shop. Will Hook consider Bowens tough enough to join the crew? Or will he just string Bowens along another week?
Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida VS Big Anne & Danika Della Rouge!
These two former AEW Women’s World Champions did make a winning combination last week, but not exactly cohesive. The Galaxy’s Greatest didn’t get a word in edgewise when The Shining Samurai said they’d do it again, but will they do it again? Or will things fall off already for #Krishida?

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Nick Wayne!
Will Ospreay had The Maniac dead to rights, but he didn’t end Moxley when he should have. The Continental title is still with Moxley, but will The Prodigy prove himself worthy of an opportunity? Or will Moxley send Nick home crying to Mother Wayne?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Nick. Nick bails out to revel in that cheering, but the ring count is climbing. Nick knows this isn’t like an ROH Proving Ground where there’s only ten minutes, right? Moxley chuckles while he waits on Nick, and Nick slowly steps back into the ring.

Nick grins as Moxley stands, and Moxley steps outside? Nick taunts Moxley but Moxley paces. Moxley is trying to calm down so he doesn’t murder Nick in his hometown.

Nick endures this inverted Muda Lock, but he fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Moxley lets go quickly and paces while Nick clutches his foot. Nick crawls to a corner, but Moxley storms up to step on him! The ref counts, Moxley steps off at 4, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture.

PLAY BY PLAY
Renee Paquette is waiting in the parking lot.
She lets us know that AEW Management has been trying to let MJF know for the past three days that Darby Allin has demanded his AEW World Championship opportunity for tonight. A car pulls up, and MJF has arrived! Renee gets his attention, and brings up Darby’s win at AEW Dynasty. MJF stops her there, because he doesn’t get why we’re talking about Darby Allin, the guy he’s beaten three times, and once with a headlock takeover. No, what we’re gonna talk about is THE world champion, the most important champion in all of pro-wrestling today, the guy who has beaten the likes of Bandido, Brody King, Kevin Knight, Mike Bailey!
The man who has made sure that Hangman Adam Page can NEVER, EVER be AEW World Champion again, and the man who kicked out of a One Winged Angel like it was nothing! Honestly, a very ineffective move. A man who beat your boy, “Kenny BAH GAWD Omega,” fair and square in the middle of the ring! Nobody can stop #BigHebrew! But Darby has- Don Callis interrupts and he shakes MJF’s hand! What a match! He destroyed Kenny Omega! Just as Callis knew MJF would. Enjoy it, champ! MJF says Callis is a mench. Not just that, The Mench of the Cench (as in Century). Callis says sorry about the Andrade thing, though, but take care.
MJF asks what Callis means by that. Well, Darby beat Andrade. Wait, what? MJF thought Andrade won. No, didn’t MJF watch the match? NO, he was preparing for his own match! Well, Andrade… MJF stops Don there. He loves Don to death, this isn’t Don’s fault, it’s on his boy. However, now Callis owes MJF one. Now, this isn’t the favor, but Callis does need to tell Andrade on MJF’s behalf that he is NOT ever gonna be championship material because the man doesn’t get the job done when he needs to. MJF reiterates that he loves Don, and he says bye, Renee, he’s outta here. But then Renee shouts at MJF to just listen!
Darby Allin won his match at Dynasty, making him #1 contender, and he wants that match TONIGHT. Does he understand!? What?! Tonight?! When?! Renee chuckles as she says, right now. WHAT THE WHAT?!? MJF is furious, he just arrived! Does MJF even stand a chance? Or has Darby gotten one over on The Devil of AEW?
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Darby Allin!
MJF panics as he shouts, “NO! NO! NO! Cut the music! Cut the gaddamn music right now!!” The fans boo but MJF storms down to the ring. MJF says if the “little emo freak” thinks for one solitary second that MJF is defending his title in an impromptu that he just found out about three seconds ago, then Darby is as stupid as he looks! The fans boo but MJF tells them to shut up! Maybe the people are too braindead to understand how much money MJF has. If he doesn’t want something to happen, it won’t happen! MJF will get his lawyer, he’ll sue “that skank, Aubrey,” he’ll sue Darby, he’ll sue “that pervert, Justin Roberts!”
MJF will sue Tony Khan, sue AEW, sue Warner Brothers, and every single one of these freaks who decide to live in the dumpster fire that is Washington state! The fans chant “Ring The Bell!” MJF mockingly asks back, “Ring the bell? You wanna see the match right now?! Do you wanna see this match?! Too bad! My back hurts from wrestling close to an hour against Kenny Omega only three days ago. Speaking of legalities, I wonder how our company would look if they forced me to wrestle tonight with an injury. That’s not a good look. Darby, I’m gonna go get checked out by the trainers in the back, but frankly, I’m doing you a favor by not wrestling you.”
The fans boo more, MJF’s mic gets glitchy, so he trades with Justin Roberts. MJF says he is doing Darby a favor. Let’s talk the elephant in the room: Darby is very talented, a great underdog, the fans love him! They really do. But the reason they love you is because you’re like them. You’re good, but not great. Like the fans, you’re not championship material. Darby, with love and respect, and MJF does mean that, you’re not ready to be- Darby snatches the mic from MJF! Darby is worked up already as the fans cheer him on. “All it takes is one night to drop the wrestling world’s on its head! If I’m not ready now, I’ll never be ready!”
The fans cheer Darby on as he says, “I kill myself for this company. Monday, I hung posters all around this city. I taped posters all around the city for tonight’s show. I climbed Mount Everest and I hung that flag on top of the world! The scars, the blood, everything! I’m ready! I’ve been ready! My career started ten miles down the road, at the Buddy Wayne Academy. And I took a deep breath my first day of wrestling school, and I said I was either gonna make it as Darby Allin, or I’m gonna fail as Darby, but I’m not changing a single thing!” The fans cheer that, too! Darby says tonight, he climbed to the top of this sport, and he didn’t change a thing! RING THE BELL!
The fans are fired up again but MJF says first off, relax, we’re not doing that. But then BRYAN DANIELSON speaks up! The fans cheer as Bryan tells MJF and Darby that he just got a message right from Tony Khan. And Tony Khan actually agrees… with MJF… It is unfair for MJF to wrestle when he is unprepared. And Max, that is why Tony will give MJF plenty of time to prepare, because this match, this AEW World Championship match, will be in tonight’s MAIN EVENT! The fans cheer that! MJF is furious, because that’s still only 90 minutes! MJF protests, but the fans cheer “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan says if MJF refuses that match, he will be STRIPPED of the title!
MJF is furious, but Darby turns him around to say, “Tonight in the main event, I’m beating your ass with a headlock takeover!” Darby throws down the mic, having thrown down the gauntlet! Will everything come full circle for the Relentless One?
AEW shares footage from after Dynasty.
Tony Schiavone waited outside the trainer’s room and spoke on the amazing night and amazing main event. He has Kenny Omega here, and he says he knows it was a heartbreaking loss. How is Kenny doing? Kenny isn’t sure what to say, he has nothing. He is sorry about that. Schiavone says that’s alright, just take care of yourself. Doc Sampson helps Kenny walk through the door, and Will Ospreay is also getting checked out. Kenny says, “Look at us, Will.” Ospreay feeling okay? Not really. Welcome to the club. Things didn’t go their way tonight. Not one bit. Not how they pictured it. Kenny feels he let everyone down.
Ospreay gets that, but he wants Kenny to think about it. Ospreay was there in the Tokyo Dome back in 2017 when Omega lost to Okada. Omega doubted himself, but he bounced back and climbed up the mountain. Yeah, but that was almost 10 years ago. Omega isn’t sure how much time he has left. But Ospreay does have time. He has the heart of a wrestler. AEW, pro-wrestling, it’s all Ospreay from here on in. Omega believes Ospreay can take it back. Ospreay’s got this. Ospreay says they still have this.
Now, Ospreay is dejected, sad, crying for about the last 40 minutes. But his dream and his ambition are still being AEW World Champion. He hopes Kenny hasn’t given up that dream, either. Omega can do it. Ospreay stands up, says he always has Kenny’s back, and gives him a pat and kiss on the head. Ospreay says Omega’s his hero. They shake on it and Ospreay heads out. Omega thinks on that. Omega is Ospreay’s hero, huh? Then maybe he can’t give up. The Best Bout Machine has a lot to think about, but will he rebuild and redeem himself just as before? Or will it take a bit more than determination to reclaim that former glory?
Tommaso Ciampa VS Dezmond Xavier!
The Psycho Killer wanted “Silvey” back so badly, but despite starting the Casino Gauntlet, he did not win the Casino Gauntlet. Will he fight his way back to a new opportunity? Or will Dez light it up and look for his own golden ticket?
The bell rings and the two circle. They feel tings out, but Ciampa BOOTS and ROCKS and then stomps away at the ropes! The ref counts, Ciampa stops at 4, and the fans fire up. Ciampa BOOT WASHES Dez outta the ring! Then Ciampa whips Dez hard into barriers! Ciampa shoves Dez back inside but the ref has him hold on. The ref checks Dez, Ciampa drags Dez up to wrench and whip. Dez rolls to stop, then he sidesteps Ciampa to run, roll, and UP KICK! Dez dodges again, waistlocks, but Ciampa ELBOWS free! Ciampa then TOSSES Dez out, and KNEES him off the apron! The fans rally while Ciampa shouts, “No more games! I want ALL the gold!”
Ciampa goes out after Dez, then whips him at the steps. Dez handsprings up and over! The fans fire up while Ciampa snarls. Both men slide into the ring, Dez bobs ‘n’ weaves to fire off fast hands! Dez body blows, clubs a leg, then UPPERCUTS! Dez runs but Ciampa ELBOWS him again! Ciampa whips, Dez handsprings, but Ciampa dodges with a slide. Ciampa runs up, Dez dodges, then DROPKICKS on return! The fans fire up as Ciampa bails out, and Dez builds speed! Dez slides to a stop as Ciampa moves aside. The fans are torn while Ciampa wags his finger, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ciampa checks his teeth, it seems they’re all there, so Ciampa takes his time goes back to the ring. Ciampa rolls in, only to roll back out, and he grabs a mic to talk trash on Seattle. Ciampa then storms up to the apron, but he just baits Dez into chasing him around the outside. Dez slides in but Ciampa stomps away! The ref counts, Ciampa stops to mock Seattle again, and he hoists Dez up to SLINGSHOT him off the ropes! Dez flops down, but Ciampa climbs up the corner just to tell Seattle, “SUCK IT!” Ciampa drags Dez up, whips him to ropes, then kitchen sink knees! Ciampa flexes as he soaks up heat, then he goes to Dez.
Ciampa drags Dez by the legs, stomps him in the stomach, then stomps him again. Ciampa has the legs, he YANKS Dez from the ropes, then he paces around Dez. Ciampa KNEES Dez in the back, drags him around again, but Dez fires body shots and haymakers! Dez ROCKS Ciampa, whips him to ropes, but Ciampa reverses. Dez ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Ciampa ducks under the crossbody! Dez crash lands, and Ciampa taunts the fans again. Dez SMACKS Ciampa, but Ciampa snapmares Dez into a chinlock. Dynamite returns to single picture as Dez endures. The fans rally as Dez CLUBS at Ciampa from below.
Ciampa pushes Dez down, grinds them down and flexes at the same time. Dez still endures, even as Ciampa puts on the pressure. Dez fights up, up, and fires body shots! The fans rally but Ciampa shoves Dez. Dez ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER Ciampa again and again! Dez fires fast hands, then a CUTTER! The fans fire up as Ciampa goes to a corner. Dez kips up, runs corner to corner, and he UPPERCUTS! Then SUPERKICKS! Then ENZIGIRIS! Ciampa staggers, Dez goes up, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Ciampa is tougher than that, but Dez drags him around to the drop zone. The fans rally as Dez goes right up top!
Dez aims, and 450- NO, he has to roll through as Ciampa moves! Ciampa ROLLING ELBOWS! Then he reels Dez in, but Dez RANAS! Cover, TWO!! Ciampa escapes, and he runs up, but Dez DUMPS him out!

Winner: Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall
Another singles victory for Ciampa, but he demands the mic. “This was the example. Why? Because I’m sick of waiting. I want it all. I came to AEW because this is where the best wrestle, and I want all of the gold. And if I’m not making myself clear… Darby Allin, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, whoever wins… the Psycho Killer is coming for the AEW World title!” Then he PUNTS Dez outta the ring! His shadow knows his story, but will Ciampa’s future be the top of the mountain?

FTR is here!
Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are still the AEW World Tag Team Champions as they and Stokely Hathaway make their way to the ring. #BigStoke is all smiles as he hands the mic to Dax. Dax says he’s read a lot of the chatter online, he’s heard all the complaints, and it seems to him the fact that FTR has won again makes all of the fans angry. Hey, he gets it, he understands why they’re angry. They love an underdog story! They love an underdog story because they think they can relate to it, they feel they can relate to the underdog. But the fact is, they’re not underdogs, they’re just losers! No, seriously, they’re just losers! Fat losers!
And speaking of losers, FTR gave Adam Copeland & Christian Cage a brush with relevancy, and those two couldn’t get the job done. So Cope, Cage, Dax is talking to you: As long as FTR are the AEW World Tag Team Champions, C&C will never get a shot at these again! Stoke says he has been told that supposedly, all the fans are educated people? The fans chant, “NO HOES!” Stokely says he don’t need hoes, he has the AEW World Tag Team Champions. But before he was so rudely interrupted, he has been told that “the sickos” know everything about everything! They know about pro-wrestling, about sports, about politics, about history, religion!
So then clearly, they all know the story of David VS Goliath! And the two men that Stoke has in this ring, this is Goliath! And he is here to tell us, that there are a lot of Milli Vanillis, a lot of wannabe Davids! From #Brodido to the Bang Bang Gang to even Matt & Nick Jackson and Cope & Cage! Stoke is here to say that every time David steps up to Goliath, he gets b*tched out. Stoke feels there is no more competition here in AEW! Tony Khan will surely do what he does best and go to CMLL or NJPW, sign every CHUD he can to put in the division, but the results will be the same: they all will fall to the giants known as F T R!
Cash says beautifully said, Big Stoke. Now, if the fans would do FTR a favor and please, he’s asking nicely, let them pay homage to the careers of Cope & Cage. Now that FTR has put an end to them, they would like to have a moment of silence. Please, if you would… The fans boo instead. Cash says please, a moment of silence. And then it’s one second. Now, for those of you in attendance with the benefit of flash photography, FTR won’t give you five seconds, they’re feeling generous. They will give you a ten second pose! The fans boo but FTR does their best “Barry Allen over Oliver Queen’s grave” style pose.
The ten seconds are up and Cash thanks Seattle, they’ve been great, have a great night. The fans boo more, but FTR is moving on with the belts. But is there really no team in AEW that can take these #TopGuysOut?

The Jet may have felt like an underdog champion, but he proved he is a rightful champion! Knight gets a mic to say, “Yo, yo, yo! Everett, Washington! Y’all miss me?” The fans cheer for that! Knight says shoutout to Claudio, by far one of the hardest hitting dudes, one of the strongest opponents Knight’s ever had. Give it up for Claudio. The fans do cheer Claudio, and Knight says he won’t let that stop him. The Jet is looking good, feeling even better, as your NEW TNT Champion, baby! The fans cheer for that, too. Knight says before he won this, he did lose the trios titles. Speedball, Knight knows you’re beating yourself up over that, but don’t take it personally, he doesn’t blame you.
And as they say, when one door closes, another one opens. Sometimes you gotta slow down to speed back up, and The Jet is riding high, baby! The fans cheer again, and Knight says tonight, there’s a big one with Darby Allin VS MJF for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship! And well, Knight will keep a close eye on that one, because #Jet2Belts sounds #2Fly! Knight is ready to add even more golden luggage to the flight log, but will his flight plan be headed for The Scumbag from Long Island? Or will it be the hometown hero in Darby Allin?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
Spring Breakthru returns as she says to welcome the legendary Chris Jericho! The fans cheer as The Demo God, The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla, The Nueve, Y2J makes his entrance. Jericho gets pyro while he struts down the ramp and the fans sing along with Judas. Jericho joins Renee in the ring, and Renee says it is so good to see him, and the fans are sure happy to see him. Jericho fires the fans up more and they chant his name. Renee says maybe not everyone is happy, since last week, Ricochet came out here and said Jericho would be rusty. Clearly, from the match on Sunday, that is not the case. How did Jericho feel his first match back?
Jericho know show he feels being back in Everett, Washington tonight. But he feels so happy to be back in AEW. It was great to be back in the ring at Dynasty. One of his favorite matches in a long time, in front of a great crowd. Even though Jericho lost, he didn’t loss because of rust or overexcitement, it was because he was outnumbered 3v1. The fans agree with that. Jericho still gives credit where credit is due, congrats to Ricochet for probably the biggest win- Oh, well, Ricochet makes his way out here, The Gates of Agony by his side. Ricochet has a mic to tell the fans to sit down, shut up, and listen! The fans chant “BALD!” instead.
Ricochet then tells Jericho that he meant every single word when he said he respects Jericho. And after that valiant performance at Dynasty, Ricochet respects Jericho even more. But Jericho didn’t listen to Ricochet at all, did he? No, he signed his contract and got himself hurt, just like Ricochet said Jericho would. And on top of that, Ricochet had to do it! The opportunity was in the palm of his hand, so he had to take Jericho out with his own move, the Lionsault! Or what will be renamed “The Ricosault.” The fans boo that idea, but Ricochet says he gives Jericho credit, Jericho didn’t completely embarrass himself. He did pretty good, but just not good enough to overcome the rise of Ricochet.
The fans tell Ricochet to STFU, but he says he’ll be out here all night if he wants! But as he was saying, Jericho wasn’t good enough to beat Ricochet, so maybe do yourself a favor and quite now while you’re ahead. Well, unless… Jericho is the king of reinvention. The Lionheart, the guy in the suits with the big words, the Demo God, the light up jacket, we’ve seen it all! So here’s an idea: Jericho becomes the guy who gets his ass beat by The Demand every single week he shows up! The fans boo again, but Ricochet says the fans must like that idea. Jericho can stick around after all and have the best run of his entire career!
Jericho asks Renee to please step aside. Jericho says first off, “The Ricosault?” That’s brutally bad. Secondly, bald. The fans chant “BALD!” But Jericho appreciates Ricochet coming out here, bald, and giving him some insight, because Jericho really respects Ricochet’s opinions, bald. The fans cheer and laugh, but Jericho continues by saying he knows what the game is here, weird shaped head. Ricochet is on stage with his goons, dumb and ugly, and they’re gonna back Ricochet up no matter what it is he says or does, bald. So here’s a proposition for you, bald. Why not leave his goons, dumb and ugly, on the stage, come on down here, bald, and face Jericho 1v1 right here in Everett, BALD!?
The fans fire up for that idea, but Ricochet says don’t think he doesn’t see what Jericho’s doing! He knows what Ricochet’s saying! Jericho doesn’t get to call Ricochet bald, and he’s not afraid to face Jericho 1v1! Well, Jericho feels Ricochet is too scared, and bald, to come down here. Ricochet says fine! Liona, Kaun, stay up here, and no matter what, let Ricochet handle this 1v1. Do not help him no matter what, understand? Ricochet drops the mic, takes off the jacket and the vest, and so does Jericho. Ricochet rushes the ring, Jericho dodges him, and then HIP TOSS! Jericho runs, and he LARIATS! The fans fire up but Ricochet waves to his guys!
Jericho stomps away, GOA run in, but Jericho fires hands! That’s still 3v1, so much for Ricochet honoring the deal! The fans boo, but The Demand let off, only for Jericho to go after them again! Jericho gets mugged again, then they CLOSE THE GATES on Jericho! The fans boo harder but then Ricochet gets an idea. LIONSAULT! The fans boo again, but now The Demand stand tall. Will Jericho have to go back to the drawing board to gameplan a way to defeat Bald, Dumb & Ugly?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynasty.
Renee Paquette found Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada to ask them what happened out there against The Young Bucks. Callis says what happened was that there was a 2v1 situation, two Bucks, one Rainmaker! But then Callis spots Takeshita and confronts him. What happened? The Alpha says that was an accident. Oops. He’s so sorry~! Takeshita mocks Okada, Okada throws his armbands at Takeshita, then insults him in Japanese. Callis says it’s okay, they’re not done, they’ll work this out. But is Callis the one who needs to work out that things aren’t okay in the Don Callis Family?
Will Ospreay VS Hechicero!
The Aerial Assassin told Kenny Omega to keep his chin up, and surely Ospreay is taking his own advice. Will the #BillyGOAT get back on the horse by taking down the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion? Or will the Alchemist of Lucha simply add insult to injury?
But wait, Don Callis makes his entrance. Callis says he has something important to say. And in his horrible Espanol, Callis says, “Todos los personas del Everett, Washington that is muy, muy stupido, from the great country of Mexico…! Es un cabra muy super intendoooooooo~! YO! SOY! HE-CHI-CEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!” So it’s been how long and no one has told Don he gets that wrong? That aside, Hechi makes his entrance with new music and more pyro. The bell rings and the fans fire up for Ospreay. Ospreay and Hechi feel things out, tie up, and Hechi puts Ospreay on the ropes. The fans sing “OSPREAY~ OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY~!” while the ref counts.
Hechi and Ospreay go along the ropes, but the ref counts again. Hechi grabs a leg, sweeps the other, then keeps on Ospreay with a toehold. Ospreay grabs at Hechi but Hechi knuckle locks that hand. Hechi ties Ospreay up in a modified figure four, but Ospreay fights up into headscissors! Ospreay hits a twisting rana and has Hechi down!

Ospreay shakes out his arm, then he stomps Hechi. Ospreay stands Hechi up, throws him into railing, then CHOPS him to the corner.

Ospreay goes all the way to TEN, but Hechi lifts him off the corner! Ospreay fights free, and WHEEL KICKS Hechi down!
Ospreay drags Hechi around, steps through, and has the FIGURE FOUR! Ospreay shows he can do technical wrestling, too! Hechi endures, even as Ospreay puts on the pressure. Hechi CLUBS the leg, twists the foot, but Ospreay puts on more pressure! Hechi reaches out, and makes the ROPEBREAK! Ospreay lets Hechi go, then stomps him down. Ospreay steps through on the spinning toehold! Ospreay ELBOWS Hechi down, then stalks him to ropes. Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as Hechi fires a body shot, but Ospreay fires a forearm! They trade shots, and Ospreay spots Marina Shafir in the crowd.
Ospreay warns The Problem, but Marina says she’s just here to watch. Ospreay whips but Hechi reverses to duck the kick, and pump handle Ospreay into a modified abdominal stretch! Hechi then scoops Ospreay, but Ospreay slips free and waistlocks. Hechi switches, Ospreay switches, repeat! Hechi hammerlocks and swings Ospreay around, MAD SCIENTIST BACKBREAKER!

Will #DangerousDavis prove to be hazardous for Ospreay’s health?
Renee Paquette is on stage.
She says this has been an incredible night for Spring Breakthru, but then Thekla immediately interrupts from… somewhere… with a whiny, mocking, “No~, niet~, nein~!” The Toxic Spider creeps in from up in the crowd, and she tells Renee that Renee looks good tonight. But not a single person here paid to see Renee flap her lips, when the Toxic Spider is in the house! The fans do cheer Thekla, and she says she just wanted to remind everybody that she marched into Dynasty THE AEW Women’s World Champion, and she defeated the great Jamie Hayter. “I beat her ass good!” And then she walked out still the champion.
Y’all better get used to that! Because this industry is filled with nothing but dumb b*tches! But then Alex Windsor storms out on stage to interrupt Thekla! “Did you really think I was gonna let you say that you actually beat Jamie Hayter? No, no, no, and I’m certainly not gonna let you waltz around tonight when I should beat the piss out of you right bloody now!” Thekla says wow, wow, wow. She says the word “dumb b*tch,” and one magically appears! Why is Alex so angry? Don’t blame Thekla that Alex’s best friend lost, or that her husband lost for that matter. Alex tells Thekla that she’s forgetting she’s not the only champion.
You are looking at THE NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, Alex WINDSAAA~! The fans cheer, and Alex asks if Thekla wonders what they say about her in Japan. What do they say in Japan? They don’t call Thekla a champ, they call her the girl who was stupid enough to get herself fired! Oi, oi, oi, mate, chill yer balls, oi! Thekla didn’t get fired. Well, okay, she did. BUT…! Only because they couldn’t handle her, just like no one in AEW can handle Thekla! Oh, nobody can handle Thekla? Okay, alright. Windsor gets in the ring, and says she’ll handle Thekla right now! How about NO~! Alexa says fine, champ, have it your way.
How about Thekla puts that lovely title on the line, and Alex will meet Thekla back here on Collision? Alright, Thekla likes that. But then The Sisters of Sin rush in from outta nowhere! But Alex HEADBUTTS Skye and LARIATS Julia! So much for that sneak attack! Thekla still smiles, then hurries off before Alex can rush the crowd! Will Thekla take out both Brawling Birds in the same week? Or will Alex make herself a double champion?
The Death Riders speak.
Jon Moxley says he actually likes surprises. Someone like Will Ospreay, who he’s known and studied for a long time, doesn’t surprise him. Marina Shafir walks in and Moxley asks how Ospreay looked. Rough? Green around the gills? Oh, yeah. Maybe Moxley has a talent for seeing exactly how all the dominos fall, maybe he just gets lucky, or maybe he just pays more attention. But Ospreay showed Moxley his cards, they were on the table, so don’t get mad at Moxley. Contrary to popular belief, Moxley doesn’t take pleasure in the suffering of others. Though, there can be beauty in it. Moxley prefers life over death, light over darkness, but you don’t get one without the other.
What was that kid’s name again? Nick Wayne. Right, tomorrow is the biggest night of Nick’s life. Continental Championship Eliminator on Collision. Moxley doesn’t know much about Nick, so please, please, surprise him. But this is Continental Rules, adult stuff, for grownups. So please, leave Mommy in the back. Will The Prodigy prove he can man up and do things on his own? Or will Moxley just add him to the long list of names of those who can’t keep up?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Kamille!
The Babe with the Power wanted an Open Challenge for Dynasty, but the American Gladiator took a cheap shot as her way of saying hello, she’s back! Willow has had time to prepare for her payback, but will she have it? Or will the “Comeback Killer” be the one taken out tonight?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the Face of TBS will still be smiling!
Kamille tries another cheap shot but Willow dodges! The bell rings as Willow fires forearms on Kamille and backs her into the corner! Willow fires shot after shot, stops as the ref counts, then bumps Kamille off buckles. Willow brings Kamille around, Kamille turns things around, but Willow blocks the buckle bump to SMACK Kamille off buckles again! Willow dribbles Kamille off buckles again and again, and Kamille staggers around. The fans cheer as Willow brings Kamille back around, but Kamille shoves her away. Kamille BOOTS the bad arm, then wrenches the arm to YANK it! The fans rally for Willow but Kamille whips her into a corner.
Kamille runs up but Willow dodges! Willow LARIATS again and again in the corner! The fans count, Willow goes to nine, then short arm- NO, Kamille BOOTS the bad arm again! Kamille snarls as she wrenches the arm and ELBOW BREAKERS! Then a wrench and YANK! Kamille clamps on and CLUBS away on the bad arm! Willow fires body shots, but Kamille YANKS the arm again! Willow goes back to a corner, but Kamille runs up, only for Willow to BOOT her! Kamille snarls, runs up again, but Willow puts her on the apron. Kamille blocks a shot to HOTSHOT the arm!

Another match, another night where Willow snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Another comeback killed, and we cut backstage to see Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida applauding. Shida congratulates their great friend on another great victory. Doesn’t Stat agree? Shida interrupts Kris before she can even start, going on in Japanese, then goes back to English to say that last Saturday, Shida & Stat made a great team! Two AEW Originals! Kris keeps wanting to talk but Shida seems to compliment herself in Japanese. Shida says they will keep it going on Collision tomorrow night! She can’t wait! So, see you there, Kris!
Shida leaves before Kris can say anything, but will actions speak louder than words when The Galaxy’s Greatest & The Shining Samurai step back into the ring?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Renee walks ‘n’ talks with the #1 contender, and says this is it: AEW World Championship. The stakes don’t get higher than this. Any last words before he goes out there? Darby wants to say something, but STING is there to see him off! “You ready?” Darby nods and says, “You got anything for me?” Sting says no, Darby already knows what to do, he just has to get out there and do it. Darby nods and fist bumps Sting. It’s showtime. No, not showtime, it’s YOUR TIME, Darby! Now, go take it. The Icon seeds Darby off, are we about to have a Relentless AEW World Champion?
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Darby Allin!
Spring Breakthru returns from one last commercial break, and it IS time! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and ready or not, Dynamite is about to end with an instant classic!
The bell rings and the fans fire up for Darby as he stares down with MJF. Darby rises slowly while MJF is already moving with some anxious energy. The fans chant, “F him up, Darby, F him up!” Darby and MJF circle, but then MJF says timeout! The fans boo, there’s no timeouts in this kind of match! MJF says he forgot about the Dynamite Diamond Ring! MJF takes it out and hands it to Aubrey Edwards. Aubrey puts the ring aside, but MJF LOW BLOWS Darby! The fans boo as MJF still uses the diamond ring as an advantage! MJF then headlocks, and he calls the takeover. But Darby SHOVES MJF at Aubrey!
Aubrey shields herself in the ropes, but then Darby LOW BLOWS MJF!! The fans go nuts as MJF tastes karma, and then he gets a SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby goes up top, for a COFFIN DROP!! Then another COFFIN DROP!! The fans are thunderous and Darby is all fired up! Darby makes sure MJF is in place for a THIRD COFFIN DROP!! MJF scrambles around but Darby puts him in another drop zone! A FOURTH COFFIN DROP!! Seattle is erupting as Darby hits the headlock takeover! Cover, DARBY WINS!!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Champion)
Seattle EXPLODES with celebration! Because yes, Darby didn’t just win, he didn’t just win with a headlock takeover, he won to become THE AEW World Champion!! The locker room hurries out here to celebrate, from The Conglomeration to The Rascalz to The Outrunners, Brodido, JetSpeed, and The Young Bucks! Confetti flies as the pyro goes off on stage! Darby stands tall in his hometown, family and friends here to see it with their own eyes! And of course, IT’S STIIIING~! Sting howls in celebration for Darby and the fans join in! The blood, the glass, the fire, the climb, not just up Mount Everest but in AEW, it was ALL worth it! Will AEW be all in on Darby Allin?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite to not just be Spring Breakthru but to follow Dynasty. I loved how they played this with MJF and Darby Allin. MJF didn’t pay attention to anything, not even texts and calls form AEW, the entire time he was celebrating his win over Omega, so of course Darby’s challenge caught him off-guard. Now granted, I thought MJF VS Darby was going to be the main event from the start, but Bryan Danielson getting to give that news was a nice way to bring him into this. I know AEW doesn’t like to copy WWE, but there should be a GM to make these decisions. That said, I also love how they played the main event. The takeover as the pinfall was perfect, given the history between Darby and MJF, and what a great moment for Darby to celebrate with all the Faces, Sting included.
Great match from Ciampa VS Dez, and Ciampa wanting right at the top works just fine for him. Ciampa never got to be top champ on WWE main roster, or even compete for it, but he’ll make a great AEW main eventer. Great TNT Championship match from Knight VS Claudio, great win for Knight, and maybe not surprisingly, he again throws his hat into the world title picture. I feel like challengers for the TNT title should be keeping him busy instead, but maybe Ciampa VS Knight establishes a clear contender going into Double or Nothing. Great TBS Championship match from Willow VS Kamille, and Willow getting another win via backslide is good story. Her arm is bad, Kamille is tough, a quick pin teases they could do this again for Double or Nothing.
Very good promo from Kris & Shida right after the TBS title, even with it being Shida talking nonstop and Kris left uncertain about the team-up. They’ll surely win their match on Collision but I feel like the team is already going to fall apart and set up a match that sends one of them after a title. Thekla and Windsor had a very good promo, and setting up a Women’s World Championship match is great stuff. I would think Thekla cheats another win, or at least tries. Jamie Hayter could back Windsor up, only for the Sisters of Sin to complicate things. Not sure what the title match for Double or Nothing is going to be, though…
Great promo from Omega and Ospreay, great match from Ospreay VS Hechicero. It was a little scary when Doc was checking Ospreay’s neck, but maybe that was just them playing up the injury for story. And with Don Callis Family picking on Ospreay again, I wonder if Omega backs Ospreay up and they have another team-up, but against Don Callis Family. Though, that feels like rehashing old material when you think about it. Moxley had a good promo, and pretty clear he’ll beat Nick Wayne, but there might be more with Death Riders and Ospreay. I wonder if there’s a possibility of a Triple Threat Tag, Omega & Ospreay VS Moxley & Claudio VS Mark Davis & Hechicero, just so all stories can be told at once.
And very good stuff with Jericho and The Demand. Another hilarious and brilliant promo from Jericho, but of course he gets beat up 3v1. Again, Jericho either gets another faction going, reunites an old one, or at least has a team-up with someone who also dislikes The Demand. But in the end, we know this will result in Ricochet VS Jericho 1v1 again, Jericho gets his win back, and that compels a tiebreaker. Not exactly the Jericho Vortex but it’s not not the Jericho Vortex.
My Score: 9/10
