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.

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.

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!

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.

The fans fire up, Juice tags Austin, and Austin takes the handoff. Austin wrenches, but Nick ROCKS him with a right!

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!”

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!

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?

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. Dante elbows free, shoves Hechi to Darius, atomic drop! Then BULLDOG KNEE SMASH COMBO! Hechi bails out, Alexander whips Dante, but Darius pops Dante up and over! Then Dante helps Darius TORNADO DDT Alexander! Darius kips up and the fans fire up!
Daniels has Top Flight coordinate, and they both build speed. But then Hechi & Alexander duck the baseball slides! Alexander BOOTS Dante while Darius ROCKS Hechi! Darius then CHOPS Alexander! Darius runs up, Hechi puts him on the apron, but Darius kicks him away. But Alexander BODY CHECKS Darius from inside the ring! The fans fire up and Hechi HAMMERS Darius just because he can. The ref starts the count, Alexander puts Darius in the ring, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Alexander pushes Darius to a cover, TWO! Alexander is annoyed, but he drags Darius up to clamp on an armlock. Darius endures as Alexander grinds the shoulder. 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.

Darius sputters along ropes, Alexander CLUBS him, then UPPERCUTS! Alexander CHOPS Darius, then stalks him to the corner. The fans rally, Darius fires back, and he ROCKS Alexander! And CHOPS!

Alexander drags Darius over by a leg, tags Hechi, and Hechi KICKS the leg. Hechi drags Darius up, but Darius fires body shots. Darius UPPERCUTS, Hechi eggs him on, then he WRINGS the arm! Hechi hammerlocks Darius, rolls him around, then stands him up to SWING and BACKBREAKER!
Darius writhes, Hechi pushes him to a cover, TWO! Darius stays in this but Hechi stays on him with another armlock. Daniels and the fans rally but Hechi KNEES Darius in the side.

Winners: Hechicero & Josh Alexander, by pinfall (advance to All Out)
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 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!!

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

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
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? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?

Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?

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 fire up as both men are back down! But then Knight kips up! Knight is feeling it, and he runs up to UFO SPLASH! Cover, TOW! MJF survives but Knight stays cool. Knight drags MJF around, then climbs the corner. The fans cheer as Knight aims, but MJF hurries out of the ring!
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 is down but Knight clutches his knee. Knight fights through the pain to go to the apron. The fans rally behind Knight as he climbs again, MOTHERSHIP FLOP as MJF moves! MJF hobbles over to Knight, he grabs the leg!
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?

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?
My Score: 9.1/10
