PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

London, Canada cheers as Schiavone says, “On Saturday afternoon, at the Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto, AEW presents All Out. And now it’s time for the contract signing for the AEW World Championship, coming up on Saturday afternoon. First of all, ladies and gentlemen, the champion of the world, Hangman Adam Page!” The fans cheer as The Cowboy makes his way out to the ring. And then his opponent, the TNT Champion, as well as his manager, Don Callis, it’s Kyle Fletcher! The Protostar gets boos from the fans as he and The Jackal make their way to the ring. Hangman and Kyle then sit across from each other at the table.

Schiavone tells Hangman, Kyle and Callis that they all know what the contract says, and reminds them that there is the No Physicality Agreement in effect. This Saturday at All Out, they will fight for the AEW World Championship. The contract will first go to the challenger, Kyle Fletcher. But then Callis has Schiavone hold on. The fans boo but Callis says he as something important to say to Hangman. Callis tells Hangman, “I remember when you took that belt from me when you beat your weakling friend, Kenny Omega, many years ago. And I’ve been waiting since that time to get it back, and now, I’ve found someone who’s bigger, faster, and better than Kenny Omega and you!

“As great as you are, Hangman, there’s nothing you can do to this all-time stud athlete! There is no one like Kyle Fletcher! So enjoy the belt. Saturday, it’s coming to the Family.” The fans cuss Callis out but Hangman picks up his mic. Hangman says after last week, he is glad they are in agreement that Kyle doesn’t need any help in the match at All Out. But Hangman wants to make it crystal clear to why he asked for it. It isn’t because he and everyone else being absolutely tired of half the roster feeling the need to get involved in title matches. And it is certainly not because Hangman would have any issue with putting the whole Don Callis Family in the ground.

Let Hangman make it clear why he wants Kyle to do this on his own. It is because Hangman sees the potential in Kyle, he sees what Kyle could be. Kyle is 26-years-old, who could be in AEW for decades to come. Kyle is someone that this entire roster could one day look to as the one to carry this company into the future. If Kyle wants this title, if he wants that responsibility, he needs to prove he is the man worthy of it! Kyle has to EARN it, on his own, by himself. Kyle has to be worthy of it! And if Kyle reads the contract, he will find that if Don or any member of the Callis Family gets involved, not only would Kyle be disqualified instantly…

But he would be STRIPPED of his TNT Championship as well! Callis picks his mic back up to ask what Hangman’s talking about! Kyle has Callis calm down, and then Hangman asks what’s wrong. Is Kyle not so sure of himself now? Kyle picks up the mic to say, “You think that scares me, Hangman? You could have put anything in this contract. You could’ve said I’d have to crawl through a mile of shattered glass to get a shot at that championship, and I still would’ve signed it! I am scared of nothing. Congratulations, you got it in writing. This Saturday, there will be nobody else involved, but it changes nothing. I am still the best professional wrestler to ever step in an AEW ring!”

The fans boo that, but Kyle says, “This Saturday, I fulfill my destiny when I become the AEW Men’s World Champion. I am better than you were in 2019 when you first challenged for this championship, thank you very much. I’m better than you were in 2021 when you first won that championship, and I damn sure better than you are right now!” The fans boo again, but Kyle says, “AEW doesn’t need you anymore, Hangman. It doesn’t need Kenny Omega anymore. What it need is the Protostar, Kyle Fletcher! So this Saturday, I do you a favor: I allow you to ride off into the sunset, because that championship, and this entire company, belongs to me now.”

Kyle signs his part while the fans boo more. Schiavone takes the contract and hands it to Hangman. The fans cheer Hangman on as he takes a moment. “Kyle, I know how it feels to be you right now. I know how it feels to be in your shoes, I’ve been there. But the thing that you don’t know yet is how it will feel the morning after All Out. It will crush you. It will ruin you! It will all but take every shred of confidence that you have away from you. I believe you when you tell me that you will give me everything that you have, but it will not be enough! I will be sure of it!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says that what Kyle does with that feeling will be what defines him.

So at All Out, and in the days and even years that follow, “do not disappoint me.” Hangman signs his part, and Schiavone says it is official! Saturday, Hangman VS Fletcher for the world title! But Kyle says hold on, there is just one more thing. Kyle hopes by now, Hangman knows Kyle is a man of his word. There would be no physicality at this signing, there will be no interference on Saturday, but Kyle promises he leaves with both world and TNT titles this Saturday. And tonight… Kyle will leave Hangman beaten, bloodied, and unable to walk out of here on his own two feet! Until that moment comes, say his full name!

Kyle leaves, Callis hurries after, and he’s put Hangman on notice. Will Kyle make sure that somewhere over the course of this three hour special, he and the Family catch The Cowboy unaware?

Jon Moxley w/ The Death Riders VS Roderick Strong w/ Kyle O’Reilly!

AEW shares footage from Collision.

It was last Saturday after Mark Briscoe gave his stipulation for the grudge match. MJF stormed right into Tony Khan’s office and said they needed to talk. MJF claims TK screwed MJF at Forbidden Door and he knows he did. Then TK takes away the instant cash-in clause for the Casino Gauntlet contract. TK owes MJF, if we’re being honest, and no, MJF isn’t done. He wants out of this Tables ‘N’ Tacks match, this TNT thing. He’s not doing it against some do*che like Mark Briscoe. He’s a real professional wrestler, TK knew that when he signed MJF, so MJF wants out.

TK says first of all, he owes MJF no such thing. Second of all, after the way MJF has acted with said contract, especially towards Mark Briscoe, MJF violated the rules of AEW and the integrity of the sport that is pro-wrestling. So no, MJF’s not getting an out. Wow, so now TK wakes up and decides to be a boss? He put his big boy pants on today, huh? MJF is “proud” of TK for that, but y’know what he’s not proud of? MJF hopes TK will be so happy when “there’s another Briscoe in the dirt, and it’s on YOU, not ME!” MJF storms back out of the office, and the Scumbag just doubles down on being a scumbag. But will Briscoe make sure to go All Out to finally shut MJF up?

Bobby Lashley w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Toa Liona w/ Ricochet & Bishop Kaun!

Just days ahead of the big Six Man Tag grudge match for All Out, we will see truly the biggest, beefiest, and strongest members of each team step up to fight it out! Will the All Mighty show just how they hurt people? Or will the Samoan Lion prove he is the king of beasts?

The bell rings and the fans chant for MVP. Lashley paces around but Liona just watches him closely. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and then they break. The two go again, another tie up, and Lashley waistlocks. Liona powers Lashley to the corner, the ref counts, and Liona ELBOWS Lashley! The fans rally for Lashley but Liona fires more elbows. The ref counts, Liona CLUBS away on Lashley, then stomp him down! The ref counts, Liona digs his boot in, but the ref has to back him down. Ricochet asks what’s up with that. Liona puts Lashley back on the ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts again, Liona stops at 4, and he bumps Lashley off buckles.

Liona gives Lashley a BODY SHOT, then he CLUBS him on the back! Liona CLUBS Lashley again, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, but he again has to get in there to back Liona off. Lashley puts Liona in the corner and he fires off on Liona! the fans fire up, the ref counts, and Lashley backs off. Lashley then runs in, but Liona BOOTS him down! The fans boo but Kaun talks some trash. Liona stands on Lashley while on the ropes, and the ref counts. Liona steps off and he kicks Lashley to the apron. Liona goes out after Lashley, brings him up, but Lashley kicks low! Lashley suplexes but Liona blocks! Liona HEADBUTTS Lashley!

Liona fireman’s carries, then APRON SAMOAN DROPS! The fans go nuts, the ref checks Lashley, and Kaun applauds while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ricochet talks trash at Shelton and MVP but the ref keeps everyone back. Liona drags Lashley up to THROW him into barriers! Then he LARIATS Lashley again and again! Lashley sputters, Liona pushes him, but Lashley KNEES low! Lashley THROWS Liona into barriers in return! Liona is down in a heap, but Lashley drags him up and around to THROW him back into railing! The fans cheer Lashley on as he THROWS Liona into railing again! Ricochet and Kaun are frustrated but Lashley drags Liona up to fireman’s carry. But Liona slips free to POST Lashley! The ref says to get this in the ring, so Liona puts Lashley in.

Liona aims from a corner while Lashley sputters. Lashley rises, Liona runs in, and he LARIATS! Liona keeps moving, and he LARIATS again! Then Liona turns Lashley around to run and LARAIT again! September to Remember is back to single picture while Liona climbs up. Liona CLUBS away on Lashley from all sides, then mocks Lashley’s mighty pose. But Lashley Electric Chair Lifts Liona! And SLAMS him down! The fans fire up while both men are down! MVP and Shelton coach Lashley up, Ricochet and Kaun coach Liona, but the fans are on Lashley’s side.

They fall back, it’s a cover, ONE!! Lashley has Liona on his side, he’s trapped a leg! Liona grabs at the ref but he’s fading! The ref says Liona is OUT, Lashley wins!!

Winner: Bobby Lashley, by submission

But now Ricochet & Kaun rush in! Shelton & MVP do the same, and they’re brawling! MVP BOOTS Ricochet, then JAMS him with the cane! And MVP BREAKS the cane off Ricochet’s back!! The fans go nuts, and then Shelton LARIATS Kaun up and out! MVP DECKS Kaun for good measure! Ricochet and the Gates are on the retreat, will they have no chance when The Hurt Syndicate goes All Out?

Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.

He welcomes everyone back to September to Remember, and says this is a big moment. Saturday will be big, because we will see two of the greatest tag teams ever go at it 2v2. “We never thought we’d see these two gentlemen back together, but they are back together in their home country, and we’re so excited! First of all, let’s introduce the Rated R Superstar, here is Adam Copeland!” London, Ontario fires up and sings along with Metalingus as #Cope makes his way out to the ring, all fired up and with a lot of smoke from the smoke machine. Cope joins Schiavone in the ring, and he lets the fans finish singing.

Then Schiavone introduces Cope’s partner, Christian Cage! Captain Charisma makes his entrance now, no lyrics to sing to here, but he joins Cope in the ring. The fans cheer as both lean on the ropes, and then Schiavone introduces Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, and their manager, Stokely, aka FTR. The fans boo as extra security accompanies the #TopGuysOut to the ring. FTR throw trash talk at the fans in return, then they step into the ring. Schiavone wants to say first, he’s called a lot of matches, been in the ring with a lot of people, but it’s something special to see these two great teams, two of the greatest teams, to face off in the hometown of “C&C” for the first time in 20 years.

Now, there is a No Physicality Agreement in effect here, with heavy fines and even suspensions as punishment. This is a volatile situation but those are the rules. So first to Cope- Stokely steals the mic first and says he wants to reiterate something for C&C. If they touch Dax, that’s $100,000. If they touch Cash, that’s $100,000. If they touch Stokely, they owe him $500,000, and the match will be cancelled! That means between Cope, his wife Beth and the two braincells she has left, and then Christian and his wife, her kids, their uncles, their aunties, their sixth grade teacher, they will see C&C do what they do best, and that is disappoint them as they won’t be competing.

So with all that said, Stoke things THE greatest tag team alive today, FTR, will get to say what they wanna say first. The fans boo but Stoke hands the mic to Cash. Cash tells Cope, “Sixteen years ago, Adam. 2009, sixteen years ago, I met you for the first time. Sixteen years ago, you were one of the biggest stars in the industry and I was a young nothing trying to get an opportunity. And what happens? You walk into the gym that I worked at, and we become friends. We don’t just become friends, but you become a mentor to me. You take me under your wing, you watch match matches, you give me advice, and you tell me, ‘I can get you opportunities. I can crack that door open for you.

“‘But when I do, you’ve gotta kick it down.'” The fans boo, but Cash says it is safe to say, ten years later, FTR are the absolute BEST tag team of all time! In those ten years, Cash has kicked the door down, then he and Dax became living legends! And in that time, FTR got Cope his career back! They brought Cope back to the ring. He comes to AEW and says he is here to help FTR. But then he makes it The Cope Show. Cope put the spotlight on himself and expected FTR to be the supporting cast while FTR did all the work! The fans boo, but Cash says six years ago, FTR helped Cope get his career back. Saturday, FTR takes it away for good!

The fans tell FTR to STFU but Dax says he won’t yell or scream over them. He will just say what he needs to say, and then they’ll leave. Dax can admit that there was a time where C&C were the best team in the world. But if we’re being honest, the only reason C&C were the best was because their competition were two mediocre teams who carried C&C to relevancy. FTR, on the other hand, has for 11 YEARS carried tag team wrestling on their backs! They’ve cemented themselves as THE generational tag team! A catalog of classic matches spanning over a decade, with teams like Big Bill & Enzo, Gable & Jordan, Gargano & Ciampa!

They’ve faced The Young Bucks, Bullet Club Gold, The Outrunners, and had a trilogy with The Briscoes! Ten World Tag Team Championships across seven different brands, and they are one-of-one. For C&C, this is the dream match. They NEED this to be a dream match! In another life, maybe it would’ve been just that. But this is the life that we are dealt. Saturday, do not make them end yours. Cope snatches the mic from Dax to tell Dax, “Shut the hell up!” The fans cheer that! Cope tells FTR to listen to him! But first, #BigStoke, you know all about disappointment! That’s why he gets no hoes! The fans cheer that, too!

And Cope suggests Stoke gets Beth’s name outta his mouth, cuz she will slap the lips off his stupid little head! Now, to FTR themselves. Dax & Cash broke their friendship up! Cash lived in Cope’s apartment, he opened his home to Cash because Cash was homeless. Cope opened the door for Cash to get hired, yes, and he never looked for anything in return. You know what Cope wanted to do? He wanted to come to AEW, he wanted to work with them, and they wanna say they were in his spotlight or something? Look in the damn mirror on that! The reason FTR were NOT in the spotlight is because the FANS didn’t want FTR, they wanted Cope!

The fans cheer more, and Cope says, “You wanna make some good points here, eh? Oh, you’re the best team in the last 11 years or whatever that is. And yes, you are now in the discussion of being one of the greatest tag teams of all time. Well, welcome to the club, we’ve been here for 25 years.” The fans cheer that! Cope says while FTR were busy getting bass in their voice, C&C were revolutionizing tag team wrestling! THEY made tag team wrestling important again! They created a match that then turned into a PPV! The fans cheer, and even chant for “T L C! T L C!”

Cope says now, Saturday, for the very first time, two of the greatest teams ever will face off in C&C’s hometown, in front of C&C’s people, and in their country! The fans cheer for Canada, and Cope says when they drag FTR into the deep water, raining fists down on their stupid little faces and FTR is begging for mercy, they will understand why there is only ONE Cope & Cage- Christian stops Cope there to say it is Cage & Cope. Cope sighs, but the fans already chant, “Cage & Cope!” Dax tells Cope to look them in the eyes, but Cope says he’ll look at whoever he wants, “you stupid little POS!” The fans cheer that!

Cope says FTR will understand why C&C are better than them! And Christian says, “London, Ontario… Let’s be honest. $100,000 is a lot of money. And $500,000, Stokely, with that kinda money, you might actually be able to get yourself some hoes. But London, at the risk of something like an A-hole, $100,000- Hell, $500,000 doesn’t mean a damn to me, because I’m rich!” And C&C fire the first shot! The fans fire up as security rushes in, but they just get hit, too! SHATTER MACHINE for one poor sucker, then a KILLSWITCH for another! And a SPEAR for the last guy! And then the brawl is back on!

FTR retreats, the fans cheer C&C, and looking at FTR’s nose, C&C has already drawn first blood! But will the $200,000 down the drain be worthy every penny if C&C can fulfill their revenge? Or will they fail to take the Top Guys out?

Backstage interview with The Young Bucks.

Renee Paquette says there are huge All Out implications as Matt & Nick Jackson will face The Bang Bang Gang’s Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson, the winners advancing to the Fatal 4 Way Ladder match. But also, momentum is on their side since they won the big money match last week! That’s huge! Nick says yes, they are back! Nice new suits, that’s some real rags to riches. Matt says it feels good. They also paid production a little something to make sure the entrance is special. How much did they give over, though? Matt says the bag’s a little light after losing about half at the casino. Nick says relax, there’s still plenty to go around.

Matt says Nick is right. And tonight marks the beginning of their redemption tour. They’ll beat Bang Bang Gang, go to All Out, win the Fatal 4 Way Ladder match, and become the first-ever FOUR-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions! They’ve been a bit rude to Renee, so she can buy something pretty with this $10,000. What? Really? Thanks! And that’s not Canadian, it’s USD. Right, yeah… But either way, thanks and good luck! Renee double checks that it’s all there, but will The Bucks keep the money coming? Or will the Bang Bang Gang rob ’em blind?

AEW World Tag Team Championships Qualifier: Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson VS The Young Bucks!

Well, the entrance is special indeed, as it is basically back to what it was: The right music, the right graphics, the excessive pyro, it’s almost like they’re still EVPs. And then Nick shares money with fans who have signs in their favor! Matt wants Nick to slow his roll, they’re not that high of high rollers. Then #RockHardRobinson and #JustAustin make their entrance. The teams sort out, and it’s time to see who will go All Out!

The fans rally for Juice as he and Matt start. They tie up, and Matt headlocks. Juice powers up and out but Matt runs him over! Matt salutes, runs, but Juice stays low. Juice hurdles, hip tosses, but Matt slips through to body shot and step over. Matt flips up and over, dodges a lariat and then arm-drags Juice! Juice endures the armlock, but Matt brings him over to tag Nick. They double wrench, double CHOP, and double whip to then DOUBLE ELBOW! The Bucks pose, but Juice runs to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up, Juice tags Austin, and Austin takes the handoff. Austin wrenches, but Nick ROCKS him with a right!

Nick whips Austin to a corner, Austin goes up and over, then Austin keeps moving. Austin ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he trips Nick! Austin wags his finger, then JABS, JABS, JABS! “GUNNS UP!” Austin DECKS Nick! Cover, TWO! Austin puffs up but Nick pokes him in the eye! Austin goes to a corner, Nick runs in, and Nick blocks boots. Nick puts Austin in the ropes, DRAPING NECKBREAKER! Tag to Matt while Nick holds Austin up, and Matt SLINGSHOT SENTONS onto Austin! Then he BLASTS Juice off the apron! Matt keeps moving to WRECK Juice with a dropkick! Matt skins the cat, Nick hits a GUTBUSTER, then they hit the NECKBREAKER BACKBREAKER COMBO!

The fans are torn as The Bucks cheer themselves on, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Matt paces around, then he pushes Austin to a cover, but Juice breaks it! Nick storms in and kicks Juice. The Bucks pick Juice up to RAM him into the corner, sitting him in the ropes. The Bucks CLUB Juice, then Nick puts Austin in the other corner. Matt runs up, The Bucks LARIAT ENZIGIRI combo! Then Matt tags Nick before the CATAPULT GAMANGIRI! Austin falls back, Nick goes up, DOUBLE STOMP BACKBREAKER! Then a roll and DRAPING BACKSTABBER on Juice! The Bucks soak up cheers and jeers, then Nick CLUBS Austin. Tag to Matt, he stays between Austin and his corner, then he stomps Austin down.

Matt snapmares Austin, clamps on with a chinlock, and he grinds Austin down. Austin endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Austin runs, but Matt fakes the kick to DDT! Cover, TWO!

Both sides are ready to turn the Tailgate Brawl into an All Out war, but who will get cooked like burgers on the grill?

Dorada welcomes the champion to step into the ring, but wait! Konosuke Takeshita is also here! The Alpha makes his way out here alone, and he stares down Okada. Callis wants Konosuke and Okada to both calm down, they’re “brothers” in the Callis Family. But then Dorada SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODIES onto Okada!! And he stares Konosuke down, daring The Alpha to do something.

The fans fire up as Dorada refuses to be the third wheel in this pseudo sibling rivalry. But will Dorada defy the odds and take the title? Or will he just be the odd man out?

Toni Storm is here!

The fans cheer as the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion is on stage, belt around her waist and mic in her hand. Toni waves to the crowd, then the spotlight is on her. “This Whore You All Adore, this Slut You Can’t Rebut, this Trollop You Can’t Wallop, The Skank You Want to Spank, this Tramp is STILL the Champ!” The fans cheer all of that! Toni continues by saying, “But for how much longer, I do not know. Seven months ago, I won my baby back. And since then, I have lived every day as though it’s my last. I have slain beasts, belt collectors, and Forever Champions, and I have loved every single disgusting, sweaty, bloody, sexually questionable second of it!”

The fans cheer again, and Toni says, “Because AEW is where the best wrestle! And if you’re not willing to put your life on the line every time you step in that ring, then darling, you ain’t s*it!” The fans cheer that, too! Toni says she now risks it all with three women who are worthy of this mantle. So if this is indeed the end of her reign, which fans don’t like hearing, “then it’s been the honor of my life.” Toni tells the ladies, “If you really want to take my title, then I suggest you burn my body to the ground. And then you pack my ashes into a little pipe, and then you take a big, fat puff, because nobody will get me and you as high as I can, darling!”

The fans cheer more, and then JAMIE HATYER steps in!? Jamie says, “Personally, I’m not a fan of the spotlight. You can go ahead and keep that. Just know that after All Out, it’s not gonna look so good without that title, is it? It’s been a long time since it’s been just you and I. It seems as though you’ve forgotten some stuff. But I want you to remember just three things. One: I don’t forget. Two: You invited me into this match. And three: Hayter Hits Hard!” The fans do cheer that. And hey, KRIS STATLANDER is here! And she says, “Well, if we’re all coming out here to stake a claim for ourselves, I’m not really sure I have one.

“I haven’t wrestled for this title in four YEARS. And as I stand here looking at the current champ, and a former one, I realize maybe it’s because neither of you have the ovaries! Come Saturday, just remember that you can’t stop Stat!” The fans cheer that, too! Toni says, “Well then. Trim your bushes, b*tches, cuz we’re about to go All Out! And it’s going to be…” THEKLA!? The Toxic Spider ruins the catchphrase, but that’s because she’s ready to rumble! But refs hurry out here to keep her from fighting the other three, because Thekla has one woman to worry about right now. Will Aminata stomp out the spider?

Backstage interview with Team Sky Flight.

Alicia Atout is with Christopher Daniels, Scorpio Sky, and Top Flight ahead of the big tag title match qualifier. Darius & Dante battle Hechicero & Josh Alexander, the winners moving on to that Fatal 4 Way Ladder match. How are they feeling? Darius says he’s feeling good. Because if you haven’t been paying attention, Sky Flight has been on a roll. Tonight is the biggest test to date, but once they go through Hechi & Alexander, Darius & Dante go to All Out, win the tag titles, and finally prove why the sky is no limit! Hangman Page steps in, and he says no disrespect, sorry to interrupt. But he just wants to say, he’s been dealing with the Callis Family for awhile, and…

Well, Hangman got Kyle to agree that the Callis Family won’t interfere with the world title match at All Out. However, just know they can’t expect the same courtesy in the tag match tonight. Watch out for all of them, there’s already like three dozen and they’re multiplying. Daniels says that ain’t wrong, but they’ve all got each other’s backs. They’ll handle the Callis Family tonight while Hangman handles Kyle at All Out. Hangman says deal, and wishes them luck. The Cowboy heads out, but can Angel Dorado & Air Wolf grab those golden tickets? Or will the Alchemist and Walking Weapon be the ones headed for Toronto?

AEW World Tag Team Championships Qualifier: Kip Sabian & “Killswitch” Luchasaurus w/ Shayna Wayne VS #JetSpeed!

While Top Flight and the Callis Family get the main event, the dysfunctional duo of Superbad and Wrestling Dinosaur look to claim their own spot in the Fatal 4 Way. However, can they figure things out and win this for Nick Wayne? Or will Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey be #2Fly2StopNow?

The teams sort out, and while the fans cheer for Speedball, we get Knight and Luchasaurus first. The bell rings, and Kip tags right in?

Big Bill speaks.

The Redwood says in Toronto, All Out, it is Big Bill VS Eddie Kingston. At least, that’s what he’s hearing, that’s what they’re saying, that’s what the graphics all say. But Bill will not believe it until Eddie shows up in person. And Bill doesn’t think that’ll happen. Bill wouldn’t blame Eddie if he didn’t wanna cross the border and enter a country that is “an absolute international embarrassment.” But it’s deeper than that, isn’t it? Eddie has been sitting at home, on the couch, for 16 MONTHS, watching Bill on the run of his life, in the best shape of his life, cracking the skulls of anybody and everybody that stands in his way!

And there are plenty of people running their mouths, saying Bill doesn’t belong in the same ring as Eddie. Well, if Eddie steps in the ring on Saturday, everyone will quickly realize that Eddie doesn’t belong int he same ring as Bill. So if, IF Eddie shows up, IF Eddie finally shows up, he’ll get exposed as exactly what Bill’s always known Eddie to be: a fraud. See you Saturday. Or will we? Bryan Keith adds, “FRAUD!” They head out, but will Bill be right? Or will the Mad King be full of surprises?

Bryan Danielson talks with Darby Allin.

The American Dragon is with The Relentless One, and notes that this Saturday is the huge Coffin Match with Jon Moxley. But before talking about that, Bryan does have one question: Why climb Mount Everest? Darby says honestly, it’s because he felt like he was living his life for somebody else. He thinks on the wrestling industry, and sees how so often it chews people up and spits them out. You can spend your whole career trying to make everyone happy, but you’re not making yourself happy, so Darby wanted to remind himself of what he was capable of. Darby knows that Bryan knows, there are a lot of snakes in the wrestling business. There are liars and politicians here.

But you can’t politic your way to the top of the world. There’s no helicopter that goes up that high just so you can hop out, take a picture and be like, “Oh, I reached the top of Mount Everest!” People die trying. And then Darby thought of how at the end of the day, all anyone has is their word. Darby told people that he was gonna summit Everest. And there were lots of times where Darby thought he was gonna die on the mountain. He saw the bodies. But he wasn’t gonna turn around, because he gave people his word that he would summit, that he would take the AEW flag and hang it up on top of the world!

But then Darby thinks of Jon’s word. Moxley said Bryan was like family, right? Bryan confirms, Moxley did say that. And then look what Moxley did to Bryan. All Darby could think about was when he was five years old, and his uncle telling him to get in the car with him. Darby didn’t know his uncle was driving drunk at the time. Uncle crashed the car, uncle died, Darby survived. But his uncle gave him his word. Darby would never turn his back on who he considered family. Take Sting for example. Darby never turned his back on Sting.

Bryan steers things back to Moxley. Does Darby feel ready for this match? Darby admits, he doesn’t know. But he wants Bryan to promise him right now, that no matter what happens out there, Bryan won’t get involved. What happened at WrestleDream last year, Darby holds himself accountable. To this day, he thinks about that. Bryan says that wasn’t Darby’s fault. Darby says Bryan can say that, but Bryan’s in-ring career is over because of that! Darby wants Bryan’s word that he will not interfere. No matter what, do not step foot in the ring. Bryan understands, his word means as much to him as Darby’s does to Darby.

So Bryan promises, he will not get involved. But Darby must promise something in return. Bryan whispers it to Darby, and Darby says Bryan has his word. They shake hands, but just what does The American Dragon hope Darby does for him on Saturday?

Mercedes Mone is here!

The fans are torn seeing The CEO strut her way out here, only showing off the AEW TBS Championship tonight, considering that is the belt on the line this Saturday against the inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion. Will Riho be on a roll going into All Out? Or will this returning Renegade make sure to ruin all the fun?

Riho VS Robyn Renegade!

The bell rings and the fans rally for Riho. Riho and Robyn step up, then Robyn calls for a Test of Strength. But she of course taunts Riho on her shorter stature by holding her hands way up high. Then she switches up the hands, then she stomps Riho’s foot! Robyn headlocks, grinds the hold, but the fans boo. Riho powers up but can’t power out as Robyn holds tight. Riho powers up again to stomp Robyn’s foot! Riho stomps away on the feet, then she headlocks in return. The fans rally, but Mone talks smack on commentary that even the inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion doesn’t hold a candle to the greatest TBS Champion of all time.

Riho thrashes the headlock, then she throws Robyn away. Robyn runs up, Riho dodges and tilt-o-whirls to RANA! Robyn tumbles, Riho runs, and Riho DROPKICKS Robyn through the ropes! Robyn flops to the floor, Mone coaches her up, but Riho goes up the corner! Riho waves hi to Mone, then aims at Robyn, SUPER CROSSBODY! Down goes Robyn and the fans fire up, and Mone says to back off! Riho points to the TBS title and signals it will be hers, but Mone says she’ll never have it! Never! The two argue while Collision goes picture in picture.

Riho goes back to the ring to then run up on Robyn and tilt-o-whirl! Robyn blocks that to hit a FACEBUSTER! Robyn rains down fists from all sides, then stops to soak up heat. Riho sputters, Robyn tosses her hair, then she brings Riho up to bump off buckles. Robyn DOUBLE CHOPS Riho, then winds up to CHOP again! Riho is stinging but Robyn says one more for Mone! Robyn puts some stank on the CHOP! Robyn blows a kiss to Mone, then brings Riho around. Robyn bumps Riho off buckles, then whips her corner to corner. Robyn runs in, Riho slips to the outside! HOTSHOT! Robyn staggers, Riho climbs, and Riho CROSSBODIES, only to be caught!

September to Remember returns to single picture, and Robyn RAMS Riho into the corner! Riho is in the Tree of Woe, and then Robyn pulls her up just to STOMP her down! The fans boo but Robin soaks up the heat. Robyn runs side to side and she BOOT WASHES Riho! Riho ends up on the apron but Robyn drags her in and covers, TWO! Robyn drags Riho up, waistlocks, but Riho fights with elbows! Riho reaches for ropes but Robyn brings her back! Riho wheelbarrows to victory roll, and STOMP 182! The fans fire up while Robyn sputters. Riho rises up, aims, but Robyn avoids the diving stomps! Riho returns, but Robyn fireman’s carries!

Riho slips free, but Robin ELBOWS her away! Robyn runs, but Riho catches her to a SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! The fans fire up as Riho then wrenches, hooks Robyn up, and CRUCIFIX DRIVER! Cover, Riho wins!

Winner: Riho, by pinfall

And the former champion stares Mone right down! The CEO says okay, Riho did well tonight. But then Robyn anchors Riho’s foot! Mone attacks! BACKSTABBER! The fans boo but Mone just holds the TBS title up over Riho. Will the Money Train run right through Toronto? Or will Riho be the one to derail it?

The Death Riders speak.

Claudio Castagnoli says, “Our issue with the AEW Trios Champions, The Opps, has not been settled yet.” Wheeler Yuta says Katsuyori Shibata, Samoa Joe and “Powerhouse” Hobbs are not as badass as they think! At All In, they left Joe laying! And Garcia tells “Shibata-senpai” that he never cared about Garcia, he never cared about AEW. But now Garcia is surrounded by people who do care, and AEW will be better without people like Shibata in it. How about Opps see them on Saturday and Garcia can solve the problem.

The Opps respond.

Samoa Joe says, “Well can you believe it? It seems that Daniel Garcia wants to be somebody. And of course, in order to be somebody, well, you gotta call out the people that scare everybody. Unfortunately for you, Daniel, you’re gonna find out in your quest to be somebody, you might just end up a body. We have heard you loud and clear, the challenge has been made. Rest assured, young Daniel, we accept.” Shibata tells Garcia off in Japanese, and now the Saturday Tailgate Brawl will be serving up some meat and potatoes! Will Garcia VS Shibata Round 3 be the Red Death of The Wrestler? Or will Shibata prove he and The Opps are #NeverLacking?

But wait, there’s more!

The Tailgate Brawl is adding all the MEAT fans could want, because Joe & Hobbs are still in action, taking on The Workhorsemen 2v2! Will Joe & Hobbs make appetizers out of JD Drake & Anthony Henry? Or will these blue collar brawlers earn themselves golden tickets to the AEW World Trios Championships?

AEW World Tag Team Championships Qualifier: Hechicero & Josh Alexander w/ Don Callis VS Top Flight w/ Christopher Daniels!

The Don Callis Family may be expanding, but they also want true domination by taking all the gold! Will the Alchemist & Walking Weapon earn that fourth and final spot in the ladder match? Or will Darius & Dante continue to have all the momentum in their win streak?

Don Callis grabs a mic to of course tell Justin Roberts, “Callate! That’s Mexican for shut up! Ladies and gentlemen, the Don Callis Family is proud to present the Pride of Toronto! He is the Walking Weapon, Josh Alexanderrr~!” Alexander makes his entrance, and then Callis continues, “And his partner, from the great country of Mexico, yo soy muy bueno y los cabelas manana del Iglesias… Yo soy He-chi-CEROOOOOOOOOOOO~!” Callis’ bad Spanish aside, Hechicero now makes his entrance, followed by Top Flight making theirs, Fallen Angel by their side. The teams sort out, and we start with Darius and Hechicero.

The fans tell off Callis again while Darius and Hechi circle. They tie up, Hechi waistlocks, then he spins Darius to trip him. Callis talks trash on commentary, saying his team’s advantage is having him as the manager, while Top Flight has Christopher Daniels. Darius BOOTS Hechi away, Hechi rebounds but then stops himself. Hechi wags a finger, rolls Darius through a jackknife to then flip him over. But Darius kips up, headlocks, only for Hechi to power up and out. Darius trips Hechi, covers, but Hechi hooks a leg with an ankle trap! Darius still rolls through to roll Hechi up, TWO! Hechi drop toeholds, then rolls Darius with another ankle trap to have the sunset, TWO!

Darius has a leg, he stands Hechi up to then reel Hechi in for a cradle! TWO, and the two stand off. The fans applaud and the two go again. Hechi KNEES low, JABS Darius, then wrenches an arm. Hechi wristlocks, he tags Alexander, and the fans actually cheer. But Darius wall kicks off Alexander, dodges Hechi, and Dante tags in! Hechi & Alexander miss that so they double kick Darius. They whip Darius, Darius goes up and over to bait them in, and Dante CROSSBODIES them both down! The fans fire up for that, and Dante runs up on Alexander. Alexander pops Dante up, but Dante lands safe on the second rope.

Alexander runs up, Dante dodges and Darius GAMANGIRIS! Dante ENZIGIRIS! Then Dante runs in, A-LIST LARIAT! Tag to Darius, but Alexander stops the snap suplex! Alexander suplexes, but Dante pushes Darius down, which helps for the snap suplex! Dante then slingshot SENTONS! Hechi runs up, Dante waistlocks, Hechi switches, but Darius helps Dante deny the lift.

Darius fights up to fire body shots, but Alexander puts more pressure on the arm. Tag to Hechi and they mug Darius. Hechi drop toeholds Darius, then rolls to flip Darius over into the ARMBAR! Darius endures, so Hechi rolls him over and traps that arm. Hechi grabs the other arm for the DARK SACRIFICE! Darius writhes, Hechi stomps him, and then Hechi bumps Darius off buckles.

And with that, the match is set! Brody King & Bandido have the deck stacked against them, and Hechicero promises that this time, The Most Wanted will not get away! And then LANCE ARCHER CLOBBERS Darius! The fans boo as Hangman was right, the Callis Family is not playing nice! Rocky Romero is also here, so Daniels is surrounded 4v1! Scorpio Sky rushes out here, as does JetSpeed, so now things are even! The fans fire up for the brawl, but here come The Bucks! They mug JetSpeed, given they’ll now meet at All Out! The fans boo but here comes BRODIDO! The fans bark as the champs are here to again tip the scales!

The fans are thunderous, but this brawl just keeps going! The four teams fighting for the tag titles head to the back, and then Archer BOOTS Daniels!! That’s not right, Daniels retired because of his neck injury! But the Murderhawk Monster has never been one for mercy, so he and Azucar put Daniels in the ring. The fans boo but Rocky CLUBS Daniels! He feeds Daniels to Archer’s grip, but here comes HANGMAN! The fans cheer as The Cowboy storms out to ringside!

Hangman dodges Archer, he DECKS Rocky, then he fires hands on Archer! But Rocky returns to whip, only for Hangman to TOSS him! But Archer has Hangman by the neck! Hangman breaks free to ROLLING ELBOW! And he LARIATS Archer up and out! The fans fire up, but HERE’S KYLE! Except Hangman sensed it, and he stares Kyle down. But Rocky anchors a leg! Kyle CLOBBERS Hangman after all! The fans boo as the trap succeeded! The fans boo as the Callis Family mugs Hangman, and then they bring out a TABLE! Callis is ecstatic as Kyle beats Hangman down and the others set the table up at ringside.

Kyle rolls up his sleeves and drags Hangman to the apron. Kyle says this was always meant for Hangman! BRAIN- NO, Hangman slips free! And he LARIATS Kyle! Then he DECKS Rocky, and BOOTS Archer! Slingshot, BELT SHOT! Kyle draws faster than Hangman!! And then he drags Hangman over to finish what he started! The fans boo and commentary freaks out as Kyle hits a BRAINBUSTER down through the table!!! The fans lose their minds while Kyle rises from the wreckage. Callis brings the belts together so Kyle can hold them both up. The fans boo as loud as they can, but will this be how All Out ends? Will there be a Two Belt Protostar in the near future?

My Thoughts:

A great special edition episode here, only moderately affected by Go-Home Syndrome. I skipped the video package hyping up Darby VS Moxley, and it ended up redundant when we got Bryan interviewing Darby later in the night. Good promo, though Darby continues to speed through his words. I didn’t think Bryan was going to get involved in the Coffin Match, but now Darby made him promise not to. Not sure what Bryan asked of Darby that he had to keep it secret, but I guess we’re learn during the match. And Darby bringing up Sting, that feels like a heavy-handed hint at Sting returning to help Darby since Moxley will have at least Yuta and Claudio.

Great match from Moxley VS Roddy, but of course the Death Riders all got involved. Not sure why commentary was being coy about Marina and Roddy being married, but their interaction was one I was hoping for this whole time. Good promo from the Death Riders to call out The Opps, but just having it be Garcia VS Shibata and then Joe & Hobbs not even fighting Yuta & Claudio but Workhorsemen instead is all odd. Maybe they build to a trios match for WrestleDream or something. Good promo from Big Bill to call out Eddie Kingston one last time, and to try and add some intrigue to whether Eddie is going to return. I would think Eddie does return and we get a great match.

Good promo from MJF with Tony Khan to, once again, work-shoot the idea that TK isn’t stern enough as a boss. Admittedly, haven’t had one of these since MJF and Adam Cole were a duo. But I’m not even sure why they’d write a bit where MJF wants out of the Tables ‘N’ Tacks match. Yes, MJF is hypocritical and all, but he should’ve instead doubled down and been motivated to throw Briscoe onto tacks and through a table. Or y’know, we just don’t get this promo at all because it did nothing. We got a much better promo from the two teams in the upcoming 8 Woman Tornado Tag, and that will be an awesome match.

Great “spotlight” promo from Toni Storm, especially with how Hayter and Kris each interrupted. It also made a great segue into Thekla VS Aminata, which was an awesome, show-stealing No Holds Barred match. It was definitely scary at times, but it would appear no one was injured. Great win for Thekla, great line from her saying she’ll end Toni’s time, and great brawl after. Thekla was sent on the run, Toni and Hayter were the ones “standing tall,” and then Kris had Yuta and Marina to deal with. Perhaps All Out is where Toni’s reign ends, and it feels like either Thekla or Kris taking the belt, which would be great stuff either way.

Riho VS Robyn was a good match, but of course Riho won. Mone gets the better of her because it feels like Mone’s TBS Championship reign might also be nearing an end. Mone’s already beat so many others, surely AEW is ready to move her on towards the top title or just anything else really since she has eight other belts to defend. Great stuff with Lashley VS Liona, especially MVP getting to absolutely humiliate Ricochet. However, with Hurt Syndicate standing tall, this would indicate Ricochet & GOA wins at All Out, and it’ll likely be through lots of cheating.

Hilarious stuff with The Bucks and their kayfabe fortune, and I feel like Nick is going to burn through the cash. Awesome stuff in all the different qualifier matches tonight, and I figured The Bucks would win. Great stuff with Luchasaurus ditching Kip, this was bound to happen so might as well do it now. JetSpeed winning because if it is fine, and that gives this ladder match the high-fliers. And of course, the Don Callis Family was all over the rest of tonight. Great opening promo from Hangman and Kyle, and I like the special clause of Callis Family interference results in real consequences for Kyle.

But at the same time, of course Kyle lures Hangman into a trap with the Callis Family beating up on Top Flight and Daniels. However, this makes the math line up with what I figured, i.e. Kyle not winning. Kyle is great, but he’s already a champion, he’s got a bright future ahead of him, he doesn’t need to rush to the world title. Plus, there’s still the return of Kenny Omega and his feud with Kyle to follow. Dorada VS Mortos was awesome, too, and great win for Dorada. Okada and Konosuke having their stare down interrupted by Dorada was great, because it addresses what I’ve been saying: the third man is basically there to lose, but Dorada won’t let that be him. Though, it absolutely will be, sorry.

My Score: 9.1/10
