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 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?

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.

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?

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!

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.

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?

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs still owe Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta some payback for what they did to Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door.

Then he SENTONS them both! Tag back to Bandido, and he says HEY~ macarena! Brody and Bandido coordinate, wheelbarrow and SPLASH but onto knees! Nick hot tags Yuta and the fans boo. But Bandido scoops to BACKBREAKER! Tag to Joe and the fans fire up! Joe storms up on Yuta but Yuta fires a flurry of forearms! Joe just KICKS Yuta’s leg! 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! Tag to Shibata and the fans fire up even more! The Wrestler whips Yuta to then BOOT! And CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! Shibata sits Yuta down, runs corner to corner, but Yuta ELBOWS him away!

The Bucks step out, but Hobbs BLASTS them both! Then Brody DIVES! Down go the Bucks, but Brody puts them both in! Hobbs DOUBLE LARIATS The Bucks and the fans fire up!

Bandido brings Claudio up, reels him in, but Claudio fights the suplex! Bandido powers through, but Yuta gets in there to stop the suplex! The ref argues with Yuta, but Claudio shoves Bandido to the ropes, for The Bucks to DUMP him out! Claudio then distracts the ref as Bandido and Matt brawl!

Moxley gets away with a hit ‘n’ run, and Claudio tags in Yuta. Yuta soaks up the heat, then he stomps Bandido at the ropes. The ref counts, but Yuta digs his knee into Bandido’s neck.

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!

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

AEW sends thoughts and prayers to Rebel.
As reported and posted on social media, Tanea Brooks, aka Rebel, was diagnosed with a terminal case of ALS.

Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match?

What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not.

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS MJF!
The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two step up, but MJF kicks low! MJF TOSSES Knight out, then hurries to THROW Knight into the steel steps! Then he whips Knight hard into the railing! Knight writhes, the fans boo, but MJF soaks up heat. MJF talks trash as he reels Knight in, lift shim up, and BARRIER BOMBS him! The fans boo but MJF takes the camera to film while he scuffs Knight. “He’s a nobody!” MJF puts Knight in the ring, tells fans to shut up, and he pushes Knight to a cover, ONE!! Knight toughs it out but MJF clamps on tight. The fans rally as Knight endures and fights around. Knight rises, fires body shots, then runs.
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard and CROSSBODY! Knight keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges more, but MJF ELBOWS Knight down! The fans boo but MJF drags Knight up again for a back suplex. Knight lands out, back suplexes, but MJF lands out! Another back suplex, but into the CUTTER! Cover, TWO! MJF argues with the ref but the count was fair. MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs as he storms over to Knight at the apron. The fans taunt him about his hair but MJF just frowns. MJF drags Knight up, but Knight HOTSHOTS MJF away! Knight hurries in, slides under, then hurdles over to SATELLITE DDT! Both men are down but the fans fire up!
The fans rally again as both men rise up. MJF stands first, storms up, but Knight counter punches! Knight fires haymakers, fires body shots, then has MJF on the ropes! The fans fire up as Knight fires off, but the ref backs Knight off! Knight storms back up, whips, but MJF reverses. Knight goes up and over, hurdles again, then DROPKICKS!

The fans boo but Knight hops down to PLANCHA! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up again! Knight puts MJF back in, but MJF hurries back out! The fans boo again, but Knight builds speed! Knight DIVES and down goes MJF yet again! The fans cheer as Knight gets MJF in the ring, but then MJF bails out another side. The fans boo but Knight shrugs and builds speed again. Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side. Knight runs up, MJF DUMPS Knight out, and then the HEAT- NO, Knight powers out! Knight springboards, MJF gets under, but Knight comes back and sunset flips! MJF flails to stay standing, but Knight brings him down to a cover! TWO and MJF sits on Knight, TWO as Knight sunset flips again! TWO and both men stand! SATELLITE denied into a CUTTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans cheer as both men are down again. Knight crawls away to a corner, MJF runs up, but Knight goes up and over. MJF ELBOWS Knight, goes up top, and calls his shot. But Knight BODY SHOTS first! Knight goes up to get MJF, but MJF resists. Knight CLUBS away on MJF, but MJF SHOVES Knight! Knight backflips, but he hobbles from the landing. MJF wobbles, Knight still goes to the UPPER ROOM!

MJF steps through, but Knight BOOTS him away! MJF hits buckles, Knight runs up, but Knight’s leg buckles! MJF SUPERKICKS Knight, then goes up for the LONG ISLAND SUNSRISE! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives the Sunrise and MJF is beside himself! The fans rally up again while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight and MJF stir, Knight still clutching the bad leg. The ref checks him but Knight says he can still go. Knight goes to the ropes, hobbles around, but MJF runs up to KICK the leg out! Knight flounders but MJF stalks him. MJF KICKS the leg out again! Knight flounders against the ropes before falling down. MJF drags Knight to center, talks trash about the leg, then turns Knight over for the HALF CRAB! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally and Knight endures! Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes. MJF is on the apron, Knight hobbles and runs up, but MJF blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW in the ropes! MJF is foaming at the mouth!
MJF DDTS the foot again and again and again! MJF blows snot AND spits on Knight! The fans boo but MJF just snarls as he looms over Knight. MJF Alabama Lifts, and he ALABAMA SLAMS Knight down! Kneeling cover, TWO!! MJF covers again, TWO! Another cover, ONE!!! The fans fire up as Knight refuses to stay down! MJF is furious but the fans cheer Knight on! MJF storms outside, grabs the belt, then snarls as he goes back to the ring. The fans boo but the ref reprimands MJF. Th eref takes the belt, but duh! Dynamite Diamond Ring! But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP! Ace just manages to clear the apron and the fans fire up for that! Ace gets Okada up and into the ring. Ace climbs, springboards, but Okada dodges! But then Ace fireman’s carries! Okada slips free, ROLLING- NO, Ace blocks to KNEE low!
Ace KICKS and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Then “CLICK CLICK!” BOOM DROP! The fans fire up for Ace as he runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! Ace pushes Okada out, springboards, and FLYING LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Ace is stunned! Ace takes out his ace card, and runs up for- A BOOT! Ace still reels Okada in, but Okada fights the suplex. Ace wrenches, Okada rolls Ace, TWO! Okada CLUBS Ace down! Okada drags Ace up, whips him to ropes, but Ace avoids the dropkick! Ace then lines up the shot again, THE- NO, Okada pops Ace up, but Ace sunset flips! TWO!! Okada rises, BOOTS, and Ace falls!
Okada lines up a shot, he runs up, but he blocks a boot. Okada flips Ace, Ace lands safe on the apron and ROCKS Okada! Ace steps in again, FLYING- DROPKICK! The anti-air hits hard, then Okada ripcords! RAIN- NO, Okada ducks it to backslide! TWO!! Callis freaks out at how close that was! Ace runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low. Rocky wrenches, CLUBS, and CLUBS the bad arm. Rocky CLUBS away on the arm, then wrenches again. Cage KNEES low, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Rocky slides for the soccer celebration, but Cage snatches him! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO!
Cage tags Cope and the fans cheer as they THROW Rocky into the corner again and again and again! Then BOOT LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cover, TWO! Rocky toughs it out, but Cope flips off FTR. Cope whips Rocky but Rocky KICKS back! Tag to Trent but Cope kicks and CLUBS Trent! Cope whips, Trent reverses, then Trent drops down to STANDING METEORA! Trent snarls, covers, TWO! Cope is tougher than that but Trent stalks Cope to a corner. Trent pie faces Cope, CHOPS him, then CHOPS again! Trent whips corner to corner, Cope reverses and Trent tumbles up, down, and into a BOOT! The fans cheer as Cope stands tall.
Cope drags Trent up, but Trent powers free! Cope drop toeholds Trent onto the ropes, tags Cage, and Cage stands on Trent to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Cage steps down, and he slingshots to the outside. Cope SPLASHES Trent before Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage then drags Trent out, THROWS him into barriers, and the fans cheer as Cage drags him up again. Cage ROCKS Trent, brings him around, and he SMACKS Rocky along the way! Cage puts Trent against the post, but Cash Wheeler shouts at him. Cage grabs Cash through the ropes, but Trent wrenches the bad arm, to SWING it into the POST!
The fans boo as FTRPG Vice are talking trash on C&C, but even Stokely talks trash from commentary. Wait, who is this standing up in the matching hoodies? It’s THE CONGLOMERATION! The fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!? Cassidy dodges that easily, and then SMACKS Stoke with the popcorn! FTR is furious, but they end up brawling with Conglomeration! RPG Vice mugs Christian while Conglomeration handles FTR & Stokely, off into the crowd!
The fans fire up as this brawl moves through the aisleway, and Cassidy is giving Stokely a noogie to his bald head! But Trent sets Cage up for Rocky’s FLYING KNEE! RPG Vice still has control while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Rocky talks a lot more trash on Cage, but Cope scares him off! The ref reprimands everyone, and Cope backs off while Trent stands Cage up. Trent whips Cage hard into railing! Trent then tags Rocky, and Rocky digs his boot into Cage’s bad arm against the railing! Rocky puts Cage in the ring, stomps the bad arm again, then drags Cage around. Tag to Trent, they double wrench to double BODY BLOW! Then they run to JUMP KNEE and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cage toughs it out but Trent slaps him around. Trent drags Cage up, snapmares, and he clamps on a top wristlock! Cage endures, Cope coaches him, and the fans rally up.
Cage rises, fires body shots, then runs the ropes, but into a kick! Trent hits an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage scrambles to ropes but Trent tags Rocky in. Rocky steps on Cage very much like Cage would, then steps off as the ref counts. Rocky argues with the ref and with Cope, letting Trent SMACK Cage in the distraction! Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!
Both men are down and the fans rally harder! Rocky crawls, hot tag to Trent! Trent BLASTS Cope, the fans boo, but Trent tags Rocky back in. Trent puts Cage on the ropes, Rocky DOUBLE STOMPS Cage down for Trent to SLIDING KNEE! Cover, but Cope breaks it! The fans cheer but Rocky keeps Cage from Cope. Cage fires a body shot, but Rocky KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS, and KICKS, then CHOPS! Rocky puts Cage up top, climbs up after him, and goes for the arm. Cage fires body shots, shoves Rocky back, but Rocky returns for a SUPER ARM-DRAG! Then the ARMBAR! Cage endures while the fans rally up again!
Cage fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Rocky lets go in frustration. Tag to Trent and he storms up on Cage. Trent ROCKS Cage but Cage fires hands in return! Cage fights off RPG Vice, sneaks under Trent, but Rocky tags in! Rocky whips Cage to a corner, but Cage ELBOWS him away! Cage goes up, but Rocky grabs the arm! But Cage CLAWS Rocky’s face! Cage then TORNADO DDTS Rocky! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Cage and Rocky crawl, hot tags to Trent and Cope! The fans fire up as Cope BACKDROPS Trent! Then FLAPJACKS! Then he whips corner to corner, runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Trent has Cope, TORNADO- NO, Cope denies the DDT, then hits the IMPALER! Cover, but Rocky runs up! Cope moves, the ELBOW DROP hits Trent! The fans cheer, and Cope ROCKS Rocky! And CHOPS Trent! Cope runs, but into a DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! And then another DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! Trent Alabama Lifts Cope while Rocky climbs, but Cage SHOVES Rocky down! And a BOOT into the CODE RED! Cover, but Rocky breaks it! Cage has Rocky but Rocky CLAWS Cage’s face! Rocky runs, but Cage SMACKS him with the brace! Trent CLOBBERS Cage! But Cope SPEAR- NO, Trent leaps over! Roll-up, with feet on the ropes! The ref sees it in time!
The fans cheer as Trent is caught cheating! Trent argues with the ref, then pleads with him. But Cope runs up, only for Trent to BOOT him! Trent runs up, but Cope pops him up, for Cage’s SPEAR! Cover, C&C win!
Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: The Divine Dominion VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down! So Kris makes it a cross-legged cover, TWO! Kris ends up on ropes, Lena blocks the ref’s view, Megan hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Megan grins as she gets one in, then Lena Electric Chair Lifts Kris! To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.
Kris flounders around but Lena drags her up. Kris fires body shots but Lena CLUBS her. Lena snapmares, runs, and SLIDING- NO, Kris turns that into a ghost pin! TWO, and Lena LARIATS Kris down! Lena snarls as she covers, TWO! Lena clamps onto Kris with a chinlock and grinds her down. Shida is back on the corner, and she rallies with the fans for Kris to get up. Kris rises, but Lena THROWS her back down by her hair! Lena “apologizes” to the ref, then covers, TWO! Kris toughs it out but Lena keeps on her. Lena stands Kris up, but Kris JAWBERAKERS! And throat chops! And LEG SWEEPS! Dynamite returns as Kris crawls!
Lena tags Megan, and Megan runs up to BLAST Shida! Then Divine Dominion reel Kris in for a DOUBLE- NO, Kris fights the suplex! Kris fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP on the champs! The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
