That’s right, The American Dragon is back, leaving his proverbial boots in the ring to pick up the headset as the new mainstay alongside Excalibur and Taz!

Hangman Page VS Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family!

Philly is ready for more #CowboySh*t as THE AEW World Champion is ready to destroy the Walking Weapon for what The Don Callis Family did not just to him, but to Kenny Omega! The Cleaner is back on the sidelines, maybe even on the shelf, but will Hangman get his revenge? Or will Alexander win this grudge match for him and his Family?

The bell rings, and both men start throwing hands! The fans fire up as Hangman gets the edge and backs Alexander into a corner. Bryan says this what he was hoping to see from Hangman, but Hangman still backs down as the ref counts 4. Alexander kicks low, puts Hangman in the corner, and he fires forearms. Alexander bumps Hangman off buckles, UPPERCUTS, and Callis joins commentary now to say that while Hangman “wears his heart on his sleeve,” that’s just fancy talk for not thinking with your brain. Hangman still turns things around to CHOP Alexander! The fans cheer, Hangman CHOPS again, and he SCRAPES Alexander off the ropes!

The fans fie up, and Hangman LARIATS Alexander into the front row! Callis says that’s dangerous, Alexander is now among “the rubes!” The fans cheer Hangman on but Archer tells them to shut up. Hangman drags Alexander up, over, and back into the ring. But Alexander kicks low! And UPPERCUTS!

Hangman goes to a corner, Alexander CLAWS Hangman’s face, but the ref counts. Alexander stops at 4, but Hangman CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Alexander fires a forearm in return!

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall

Even with the numbers game against him, The Cowboy shows he’s a real gunslinger! He took them all out and gets the win! Callis frowns as he follows his guys out. Hangman grabs a mic to say, “I did not spill a gallon of my blood to win this championship, just to have someone like MJF to change the stipulations of my matches by threatening immolation. And I did not give everything that I gave for this to have every single opponent need some kind of phallic headed dumbass like Don Callis with him!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says, “The most important word in All Elite Wrestling is wrestling, and that is what I’m here to do!

“Because I AM the All Elite Wrestling Men’s World Champion!” The fans cheer that, too! But then The Protostar makes his way out here. The fans boo as Callis returns to accompany Kyle Fletcher. Kyle has a mic in hand and he clears his throat before saying, “Y’know what, Hangman. That is a very lovely sentiment, but it does not matter. Because whilst you hold that title… The Don Calils Family runs AEW! The Protostar runs AEW! But there is a more important matter at hand. This past Saturday on Collision, I threw out a proposal to you, and I have yet to hear a response. So please, I am all ears. What do you have to say to my challenge, Hangman?”

The fans boo but Hangman says, “Wow. First of all, Kyle, if you are all ears, I want you to hear this. You are lucky I do not have you life-flighted out of this b*tch after what you did last week.” The fans cheer that! Hangman continues by saying, “But… But, Kyle, I understand it. I understand it, because I’ve done it before. You wanted to make a point. But if you wanted to make a point, and if you want to speak to the World Champion, then you get your ass in this ring and you look me in the eyes when you do it.” The fans cheer that, too! Callis talks with Kyle, and Kyle decides to step forward. Kyle says, “Alright, Hangman, I’m here. What do you have to say to me?”

The fans chant, “Where’s your socks? Where’s your socks?” Hangman tells Kyle, “Do you know what I see when I look at you? I see a man full of potential, yet he can’t put on his socks.” The fans cheer that! Hangman says he looks at Kyle and sees someone who has everything that it takes to be successful in pro-wrestling. Kyle is built like a brick house! He can talk, he is fast, and he’s strong. But there is one thing above all that. Kyle, Hangman wants you to hear this. When Hangman sees Kyle, he sees himself from six years ago, standing across from Chris Jericho, dreaming of becoming, hoping to become, AEW World Champion. That is who Hangman sees.

Kyle is full of potential, but after what he did last week, Hangman has no problem saying what might be hard to hear. Kyle’s got potential as he is, but he is not ready. Kyle grins and says, “Aw, here we go! I’ve heard it my entire career. I’m not ready! I’m full of potential!” The fans chant, “You’re Not Ready!” Kyle lets that slide, and he says believe him, he’s heard it his whole life! He’s 26 years old, he hasn’t even hit his prime, but he decides when that prime is, and that is right now! And it will continue for as long as Kyle damn well pleases! Kyle is ready to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is ready to carry this company, and ready to be a world champion right now!

The fans boo but Hangman says he will level with Kyle. If Kyle wants this, truly wants it, if he wants to be the main eventer… If at just 26 years old, he wants to be someone who can carry this company for decades, then Hangman will give him a shot for this title at All Out. The fans do cheer that. Hangman warns Kyle, that as much as there is something Kyle wants from Hangman, there is also something Hangman wants from Kyle. And that goes for everyone, there is something we NEED from Kyle. The fans chant, “SOCKS! SOCKS! SOCKS!” Kyle says ignore the idiots, what does Hangman want?

Hangman says what he needs is for Kyle to do it himself. Kyle needs to earn it! Kyle needs to face Hangman at All Out and leave the Don Callis Family behind! Kyle needs to leave Callis in the back, and dammit, Kyle does need to find some socks! So Kyle, what do you say? Hangman VS Protostar for the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP at All Out! Kyle says funny thing is… Hangman thinks that all makes a difference. Hangman thinks Kyle needs anyone to help beat Hangman? Hangman has Kyle’s word that at All Out, it is man on man! Er, man to man… But make no mistake, Kyle is leaving with the AEW World Championship!

Kyle will not fail like Hangman did six years ago! He will not fail like Hangman did a thousand times over! At All Out, you will say his full name: AEW TNT and NEW AEW World Champion, The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher! The fans boo as Kyle has his mic drop. But the match is happening in Toronto! Will The Aussie Arrow outdraw the Cowboy in this shootout?

AEW shares footage from after Collision.

AEW Media caught up with Maxwell Jacob Friedman just moments after Collision wrapped last Saturday night. MJF says, “Mark Briscoe, you wanna know how much I hate you, man? Yesterday was my wedding. That’s right. This morning, I hopped up outta my silk-lined bed and I made a beeline dash to the front door of my house. And My wife, my newlywed wife, she screams after me, she goes, ‘Where’re you going? What about our honeymoon?’ I said, ‘Toots, no honeymoon can start until Mark Briscoe is dead!’ And just as I started twisting that doorknob, she screams out, ‘If you leave right now, we’re done.'”

MJF laughs and asks if you can guess what he said next. He said, “You silly little b*tch, I was married way before I ever met you. I am married to the game, I am married to hate, I am married to vengeance, I am married to ENDING YOU, Mark! So Mark, I left that door, I left that house, I swung it wide open and I did it with a smile on my face! And on Collision, I am going to walk down that aisle, and whatever stupid stipulation you pitch for All Out, you know what my answer is gonna be, Marky? I’m gonna give the same answer I did on my wedding night: I DO! I DO! BAH GAWD, I DO!!”

The Scumbag is particularly unhinged these days, but will The Sussex County Chicken make sure he makes MJF regret all of his actions?

Backstage interview with The Young Bucks.

Renee Paquette is in catering as she brings up tonight’s main event, the 10 Man Tag for 500 THOUSAND DOLLARS! Matt & Nick Jackson are getting their meal as Renee brings up their part in the match, and jokes how if anyone could use the money, it’s them. So what would they do with the money? Matt says that for one, they won’t be back here eating this crappy food, he’ll Doordash some steakhouse. Shrimp cocktails and caviar, even! Nick says he’ll take his share right to the casino to double it on the slots. Now, if you don’t mind, their food is getting cold. And they sit with The Dark Order! Long time no see, fellas!

But the Dark Order say whoa, no no no. Seats are taken, guys. What? But BTE! No, no, move along. Fine, they’ll sit over here. Whoa, no way! Brandon Cutler? So good to see a good friend again! Yeah, no, that’s enough. Brandon should’ve said this a long time ago: Shut up, Bucks! Brandon leaves that table and says that felt so good! Matt cannot believe people are so fickle! EVEN Brandon! But then Jon Moxley steps in! That alone spooks like half a dozen of the “local talent” away. Moxley says nothing has changed. Nothing. They are still Nick & Matt Jackson, the best tag team in the world, and it is Wednesday night in Philadelphia!

Moxley also says that the Bucks can even split the money, $250K each. So just show up to win. Moxley leaves, The Bucks realize they get ALL the money, and that’s all the motivation they need. Will Matt & Nick throw one hell of a Superkick Party tonight?

As such, The CEO has called upon the Queen of Joshi to back her up! Emi even gets to carry some of the belts during the entrance, but will Mone & Emi be singing “We Are The Champions” tonight?

Adam Priest & “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington were so close and yet so far away from victory, they’re getting another chance! Will they tear down FTR this time? Or will Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler just keep reminding us why they’re the Top Guys?

Backstage interview with Ricochet & The Gates of Agony.

Renee Paquette is now with The One & Only as well as #GOA, and notes this intense personal rivalry between them and The Hurt Syndicate all comes to a head next week at All Out. But here tonight- Ricochet has Renee stop. He’s done hearing it. He tells MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, “I know you guys are cowards, and I know you guys like to play the numbers game, so how about a little gentlemen’s agreement? Tonight, I’ll tell my men to stay in the back, you tell your two little thugs to stay in the back, Shelton, and we settle this 1v1, mano e mano, no managers, no seconds, nobody. Just you and me!

“And after I embarrass you tonight, the three of us will have all the momentum going into Toronto, where we will embarrass you one more time. And when all the smoke has cleared and the three of us, our hands are raised in victory, Shelton, Bobby, MVP, you will have no choice but to respect us. Because that is a demand. AHA~!” Will Ricochet make tonight #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he not be better than The Standard of Excellence?

FTR & Stokely Hathaway storm out here.

After seeing the “FTR VS C&C” video package, #BigStoke calls it a bunch of BS. The fans boo but Stokely says what happens in Toronto will not be a dream match! What happens in Toronto will be a fight! A fight that the greatest tag team in the world today is going to win! The fans continue to boo, but Stokely says it is crazy how every single week, he hears the same thing. “Shut up, Stokely! You don’t get any hoes, Stokely! Well guess what? I look around this ring, and I see a bunch of people who look like extras from Rosanne! So guess what, twins, we all dress alike, ain’t nobody getting any hoes in this b*tch! I hate this place!”

Stokely hands the mic to Dax and Dax tells Cope & Christian that this could’ve been a dream match, it should’ve been a dream match. The fans boo more and Dax says what, y’all wanna fight? Y’all wanna fight so bad, huh? He dares them to come on then! Dax storms out of the ring to get in one fan’s face and say he doesn’t give a damn who this is, he’ll knock him out! Anyone else? Who else wants some?! The fans keep taunting Dax, he keeps taunting them back. But y’all THINK you want this! Dax drops the mic and walks his way back up the ramp. Dax jaws at another fan, Cash joins in, and this being Philly, a lot has to be censored.

Dax pushes the cameraman down! The fans boo but now Cash & Dax mug this guy for no good reason! The refs and security rush out here, FTR backs off but they keep jawing at everyone in the crowd. Will tensions keep rising until it all explodes in Toronto?

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Renee is now with Shelton, MVP & Lashley as she brings up the “gentlemen’s agreement” challenge. Ricochet wants no one else allowed at ringside for a pure 1v1. Does The Hurt Syndicate accept this challenge? MVP says this is a group of gentlemen, but he can’t say the same for Ricochet. But Shelton assures MVP that he’s got this. “Ricochet, if you can be trusted to leave your boys in the back, then I’ll leave my boys in the back. And then I’ll put your goofy ass on your back! P, Bob.” They fist bump, Shelton heads out, and MVP says always a pleasure, Renee. Shelton is ready to hurt people, specifically Ricochet, but will it really just be only The One & Only?

Then he tumbles to ropes, and Ricochet waistlocks! Ricochet grabs ropes, fights the lift, and the fans chant, “We Bald~ People!” Shelton CLUBS Ricochet, then TOSSES him back out. Shelton then goes out, only for Ricochet to send him into the desk! Ricochet hurries up to the apron, then to a corner. Ricochet aims, runs, and MISSILE DROPKICKS Shelton into railing!

Hook speaks.

“Look, I have nothing but respect for Samoa Joe. I appreciate everything he’s done for me. I also appreciate the fact that he told me The Opps will always have my back. Cuz you see, I was tight. They decided to replace me before my body was cold for the Trios Championships. But Joe explained it, and now I get it. It makes sense. Look, I’ve been an athlete my whole life, I know how it works. You’re out hurt, it’s the next man up. Fair enough, it is what it is. See, I do appreciate the fact that The Opps will always have my back. However, with that being said, I think it’s time for Hook to stand on his own. Or maybe not?”

The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil has reached a fork in the road. What path will he choose for the sake of his future in AEW?

Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kyle Fletcher.

Tony Schiavone is with The Jackal and The Protostar to bring up the All Out showdown where Kyle will leave the Don Callis Family backstage. Callis says he’s got such faith in Fletcher. He’s never seen an athlete like Fletcher! 6’4″, 240 pounds, and just 26 years old. And y’know what? He doesn’t need anybody out there interfering for him! When you look like Kyle, talk like Kyle, and wrestle like Kyle, you can bring that title home. Kyle says the final step has been written! It is only less than two weeks away that The Don Callis Family will have their hands on the AEW World Championship once again. Just trust him on this, he’s got this.

Callis and Kyle shake hands and hug it out. Will Kyle come through on his promise? Or will there be NO double champion after All Out?

Philly Street Fight: Toni Storm VS Skye Blue!

The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion already upped the ante on herself by making All Out a Fatal 4 Way for the title, but now she’s willing to risk it all in a match with no rules but to win! She even shows off the kendo stick “Sir Sandman” bequeathed to her earlier today! Will Toni use that and anything else she can get her hands on (including that metal sign that says “The Sicko Room”) to beat some humility into #ChicagoSkye? Or will Skye make Toni go from black ‘n’ white to black ‘n’ blue after tonight?

Toni doesn’t even wait for Skye to get in the ring, she runs Skye down in the aisle! Toni dodges a shot to SMACK Skye first! The bell rings, Toni SMACKS Skye again, and SMACKS her to ringside! The fans fire up as Toni holds up the stick! Toni aims, but Skye dodges, and Toni smacks stick against post! Toni storms in after Skye, but Skye snatches the stick to SMACK Toni now!

Skye staples Toni’s butt cheek! And the other cheek! The fans tell Skye she’s sick, but she puts Toni in the corner. Skye opens Toni’s legs, but she’s not going for Shattered Dreams! She has the stapler to STAPLE THEM TIBBIES! That’s not how you do piercings! But then Skye STAPLES THE CLAM! Toni falls and the fans go nuts! Skye soaks up the heat, then covers, TWO!

Skye CLUBS Toni, scuffs her, then grabs the sheet. Toni blocks the sheet attack to STAPLE Skye’s box! Then the cake! Then the HIP ATTACK! The fans fire up with Toni as she shakes the kendo stick, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Toni stalks Skye while picking the staples out of her area. Toni SMACKS Skye with the baking sheet again and again, then SMACKS her again! Skye writhes against the apron, but then she CLAWS Toni’s face! Skye stalks Toni now, CHOPS her against the barriers, and grabs a clipboard to SMACK her! Skye SMACKS Toni off the steel steps, then pushes her into the ring. Cover, TWO! Toni toughs it out but Skye grabs… a VHS? RJ City’s Audition Tape?! She SMACKS Toni with it! And again and again and again! Skye then brings the VCR around! Skye DDTS Toni off the VCR! Cover, TWO! Toni survives those dead formats but Skye seethes.

Skye SMACKS Toni with the baking sheet again, then she kicks her to the apron. Skye drags Toni around, but Toni ROCKS and CHOPS Skye first! And then SMACKS Skye off the steps! Toni drags Skye by her pigtails to bring her up to the barrier. Toni drags Skye up, reels her in, but Skye CLUBS Toni’s legs. Toni CLUBS Skye’s back, brings her up, but Skye desperately flails! Toni CLUBS her again, then ROCKS her with haymakers! Dynamite returns to single picture as Toni and Skye brawl on the edge! The fans rally as the shots keep going! Toni ROCKS Skye, Skye falls to the floor, but Toni brings her right back up!

Toni HEADBUTTS Skye, but they both wobble and fall! The barriers get them both up the middle, but Toni fires another punch! Skye fires back! The fans rally as the shots keep going! Skye gets the edge, the fans boo, but Skye picks up a fan sign to SMACK Toni! Why was it so solid!? It reads “Generational Heartthrob: Tony Schiavone,” but hidden inside is a metal street sign! The fans boo Skye, but she kicks at Toni. Toni blocks and TRIPS Skye, Skye lands on her own street sign! The fans fire up as Toni unveils a special table! The lid says, “I SMELL A RAT!” and the table itself is covered in mouse traps! The fans go nuts seeing all of that!

Toni takes out some rather smelly cheese and the fans cheer, “CHEESE! CHEESE! CHEESE!” Toni takes a nibble, then offers the rest of that slice. Bryan says he’s vegan and Taz says he’s lactose intolerant. Excalibur accepts, and even bites from the same spot? But Skye ROCKS Toni! And goes for the table! Toni stops that, and puts Skye’s hand on a trap! SNAP!! Skye reels back, clutching her finger! Toni drags Skye up to the apron! Skye fights for her life, then SUPERKICKS! Skye gets under Toni, POWEROBMB onto the mouse traps! The table doesn’t break but the traps do plenty of damage! Skye snarls and kicks them both over!

Toni gets more traps snapping at her and she scrambles away! Skye puts Toni in the ring, covers, TWO!! Toni survives and the fans fire up again! Skye goes out to fetch a chair! Philly chants, “We Want Cheese!” but Skye wedges the chair in a corner. Skye storms up on Toni to bring her around, but Toni whips Skye! Skye SMACKS against the chair! Toni takes the chair for her own, and SMACKS Skye right on the back! And SMACKS her again! The fans fire up for Toni, and she SMACKS Skye again! Toni then drags Skye up, DDT on the chair! Cover, TWO!! Skye survives but Toni fetches more of her goodies!

Toni has an electrified flyswatter!? She tests it, and it indeed stings! Toni SPANKS Skye with it! And SPANKS! And then HEADSHOT! Skye flops back, Toni kicks things aside, and then hoists Skye up. The fans chant, “She’s Hardcore! She’s Hardcore!” Toni is indeed hardcore, she puts a trash can in the drop zone! Toni climbs up, reels Skye in, but Skye fights it! She tucks Toni in for CHEEKY NANDOS! And then Skye brings Toni off the corner, POWERBOMB on the trash can! High stack, TWO!! Toni survives and Skye is furious! Skye drags Toni up, runs, CODE- NO, Toni pops free of Code Blue, then SMACKS Skye with the chair!

Skye flounders, and Toni finally brings in “The Sicko Room” sign! She wedges that into Skye’s face, and gives us a closeup! SWEET HIP MUSIC through the sign! Then the STORM ZERO onto a chair!! Cover, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall

Philly gives a standing ovation for this extreme showdown, but JULIA & THEKLA attack! The fans boo as the Princess of the Black Throne and the Toxic Spider pick the bones! But here comes Kris Statlander! She brawls with Julia, but Thekla goes after her! The 2v1 mugging is in favor of the Triangle of Madness! The fans rally for “HAYTER! HAYTER!” And YES! Here comes Jamie Hayter! Hayter rushes out there, but Julia dodges! Hayter still DECKS her! Hayter and Thekla brawl, then Hayter DECKS Thekla! Kris and Julia brawl, then Kris ROCKS Julia! Hayter swings, Julia dodges, the LARIAT takes out Kris!

The fans tell Hayter she messed up, but Julia wrenches Hayter into an STO! The fans boo as the Triangle of Madness shoves Hayter out of the ring. Thekla then drags Toni up, looks her right in the eye, then goes Spider-Walk! SPEAR!! The fans boo as Thekla picks up the AEW Women’s World Championship and Spider-Walks over Toni. Will this be the scene at the end of All Out? Or can Storm keep the reign going?

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

Renee is with The Babe with the Power and notes that Willow has something to say. Willow says the world of pro-wrestling is nutty, it’s wild, it’s bananas. So she does her very best to make it a good place and stand up for the good. “Smile anyway,” if you will. So when someone tries to defy that, someone tries to ruin that, they should be punched in the face. And if they still don’t get that, they should be punched in the face again and again. And there is one person who, for months and months, just cannot get that through their skull. Willow wants Marina Shafir! Harley Cameron jumps in and shouts, “WILLOW~!”

The wild Aussie has her guitar and says she just figured she would find Willow here doing this interview at this very moment. Harley has a proposition for Willow. And since Willow is such a lovely lady, Harley will do it by song. Pick a chord, any chord. G? Yes, excellent! C Major it is! Harley sings, “Statlander is a good person! She didn’t mean to harm you! And I know she’s made some violent mistakes, but I’m here to charm you. It’s been awhile since you’ve been friends, and I know you need your spaaace~, but Willow, if you join our team, I’ll paint a cat on your face~! Cat on your face~! Cat on your face~!”

Willow laughs and says yes, okay, Harley is lovely, and the idea of a cat painted on her face is fun. But… just not with Kris. Willow’s been down this road, she knows how it ends, and we all know who Kris is really friends with. So Harley, please, from the bottom of Willow’s heart, she wants Harley to watch herself. Harley & Renee harmonize one last, “Cat on your face~!” But does Willow have a point? Is Kris still the Kris that threw friendship away for glory? Or is she really a #BornAgainKristen?

BREAKING NEWS for All Out: Toronto!

This Saturday on Collision, we will see Konosuke Takeshita VS Anthony Bowens, and Kazuchika Okada VS Michael Oku! Then next Wednesday, September to Remember, The Beast Mortos VS Mascara Dorada! But then, if Oku beats Okada, that means there will be a guaranteed NEW Unified Champion! Is the Rainmaker really risking his reign even before going All Out?

And KICKS again! And again! Then he leg picks to get the KNEEBAR!

Yuta flails, ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Joe lets go at 4, and Joe waits. Joe JABS, JABS, JABS, and repeat! The fans fire up as Joe fires off fast hands in the corner!

And then Nick snatches up the duffle bag of cash! The Bucks get $250,000 each, but Brody CHOPS and ROCKS them for it! Money flies as #Brodido goes after The Bucks all the way to the back! Maybe Tony Khan can write them a check? But now The Death Riders beat up on The Opps! They THROW Shibata into railing! They mug Joe, then mug Hobbs, then send Joe into steel steps! The fans boo as things go into the ring. The Death Riders mug Hobbs 4v1! The fans boo, but here comes DARBY ALLIN! The fans fire up as The Relentless One rushes out here to go after Moxley! Then the Opps turn things around on the others!

The fans fire up as Darby HAMMERS away on Moxley! Moxley throws Darby off, but Darby SHOTGUNS right back! Darby huffs ‘n’ puffs and dares Moxley to get up! But SOMEONE CLOBBERS DARBY!? DANIEL GARCIA?!? The fans boo as The Dragonslayer suddenly sides with The Maniac! The fans cuss Garcia out, and they chant, “You Sold Out!” Moxley smirks as he then has Marina bring a chair into the ring. The chair is put by Darby’s legs, and Garcia steps through to have the QUEEN ANGELITO STRETCH! The fans cuss Garcia out as he CURB STOMPS DARBY! But that isn’t enough, so Garcia does it again! CURB STOMP on the chair!!

Moxley says THAT is what he’s wanted to see! Garcia stomps away on Darby, HAMMERS away on him, and doesn’t stop until Marina pulls him away from Darby. Moxley said Darby was “his guy,” but apparently he replaced him with someone else who is just as willing to do whatever it takes. Is Red Death joining The Death Riders going to be the death of Darby Allin?

My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite to build All Out, and even the big September to Remember show next week. Though, some really wild and maybe even confusing moves to go with it. What is with that AEW Unified Championship Triple Threat Qualifier? Why is  Kazuchika Okada, the champion, in the tournament? Isn’t his match with Oku just a forgone conclusion now? And why a Triple Threat at all? Is the third guy (either Mortos or Mascara Dorada) going to take the loss so that Okada and Konosuke can still have their 1v1 down the line? Make it make sense, Tony Khan!

And did we really need FTR & Stokely giving a promo? Stokely complains about the video package (which was pretty good really), and then Dax & Cash stage a fight with the cameraman, much of which could’ve still been done on Collision to segue into their rematch with Adam Priest & Tommy Billington. That rematch will be great stuff, for starters, but it’ll just be another win for FTR before they more than likely lose to Cope & Christian in Toronto. Great promo from MJF, and wild that he kayfabed an impending divorce. Part of me wants Alicia Atout to help him win whatever No DQ match Briscoe decides, moving her up from interviewer to valet.

Good promos from Ricochet and Hurt Syndicate ahead of the match, and then a great match. But of course Ricochet breaks the agreement with the scissors and GOA still running out there. But at the same time, this adds good heat to the Six Man Tag, and that’ll be a great match. Great tag match from Mone & Emi VS Riho & Alex, and a great win for Riho & Alex. There’s still Saturday and next week, so who knows how the math works out, but I would like to think Riho wins the title. And then that Philly Street Fight was awesome! And it certainly went places I never expected a Street Fight to go… Great win for Toni, but of course The Triangle of Madness turned things around on Toni, as well as on Kris and Hayter.

Speaking of Kris, good promo from Willow and Harley to add to the “Can Willow and Kris be friends?” story, which is also the “Is Kris gonna join Death Riders?” story. At the same time, great stuff building tonight’s big money main event. That promo where The Bucks were treated like the jerks at high school was great, and then that 10 Man Tag was just awesome. I figured the Heels would win, that kayfabe money was gonna go to The Bucks since they’re kayfabe broke. Good stuff with Brodido brawling with Bucks, that’s definitely a tag title match in the making. Opps brawling with Death Riders is itself setting up a Trios title match, but wow, did not think Garcia was gonna make his Heel turn here! That was a wild surprise.

Hook’s promo was good, but it makes sense he wasn’t here to back up The Opps. If he’s in New York filming that promo, then he can’t magically appear in Philly. I’m still hooked on the idea of Hook pulling a Bash at the Beach, but who knows. Maybe he stands on his own while being with Opps by being the singles title guy for Opps, like going after the TNT title. Awesome match from Hangman VS Alexander, but of course Hangman was going to win, even with Archer, Rocky, and Callis involved. Great promo from him and Kyle to both accept the title challenge AND make fun of Kyle wearing shoes with no socks. But we didn’t really need Kyle and Callis having their promo later, that’s just redundant. But Hangman VS Kyle is going to be awesome, and I bet this means Kenny Omega returns to screw Kyle over.

My Score: 9/10
