BREAKING NEWS for All Out Week!
It all starts with Wednesday, September 17, with a special THREE HOUR “September to Remember!” That will be followed by the Countdown to All Out special, and on Saturday, September 20th, right before All Out: Toronto, it will be the first-ever Saturday Tailgate Brawl! A one hour appetizer live at 2 PM Eastern on TNT and HBO Max to get us all ready for All Out at 3 PM! Are you ready to go all out for All Out?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is with Samoa Joe & Will Hobbs and says they are both clearly ready, willing, and able to come to the aid of Darby Allin against the Death Riders, but the real question is… Where does Hook stand with The Opps? Joe says that is a great question, because Hook’s fans have wanted to know. But you can tell them what Joe is telling us now, you gotta ask Hook himself. Oh, well, Hook steps in. Joe says, “Sup.” Hook says, “First of all, I don’t neither of you to come out and fight for me. I fight my own battles. Second off… Man, you replaced me before my body even gets cold? Sup with that, bro? I thought we were different than that.”
Hobbs asks what Hook’s talking about, Hobbs has always had Hook’s back. Joe calms everything down, and he says Hook has a point. The Opps didn’t wait for the body to get cold, but that’s because opportunity came calling. What do Opps do? They take opportunities. Hook wasn’t able, Hobbs stepped up. And as for tonight, Opps didn’t come out there to save Hook, they were handling their own business. Now, Hook is upset, and he has every right to be, but Joe made the call. But Hook needs to know this: At some point, Hook will need their help, whether he wants to admit it or not, and Opps will always have his back.
Hook scowls and storms off, but perhaps that’s because there’s no getting around the truth. Will Hook keep in mind that the Opps are #NeverLacking?
Ricochet & The Gates of Agony speak.
The One & Only says, “For those of you who are really paying attention, my problems with the Hurt Syndicate actually predate AEW. My problems start several years ago, and I think that I finally figured out why fundamentally, we have never been able to, um… get on the same page. That’s because for you old heads out there, it’s all about laying fists and collecting accolades when actually, that’s one thing we have in common. But my issue, the issue here is that for you, it’s business. For us, it became personal. I’m not going to say that you don’t deserve everything that you have accomplished, because you have earned it. There’s no doubt about that. But it seems that over these past couple of weeks, you guys have been relying on your past legacies.”
Toa Liona shouts, “And that’s all you have left! Because at Forbidden Door, Brodido may have walked out with the tag team titles, but we are the ones that ended your reign. And your legacy is next.” Bishop Kaun adds, “And Ricochet by himself is better than each and every one of you, so what does that make us collectively?” Ricochet says, “Dominance, that’s what it makes us. Because unlike the three of you, we’re not washed up. Our best years are ahead of us. We are the future of AEW. Y’know what? MVP, instead of these little childish games that you like to play like coming out and interrupting during championship matches…
“How about we settle this like men? How about we settle this in Toronto? And once the three of us outwork you and outperform you, the entire world of AEW will know where we stand, and that is ABOVE you! Oh, yeah, yeah, and this? This right here isn’t a challenge, it’s a demand.” The three fist bump, but will they be able to out hurt the Hurt Syndicate?
Mark Briscoe is here!
The fans fires up as the Sussex County Chicken goes to the ring, and they chant for #DemBoys as Briscoe grabs a mic. “Yeah, baby, we in Philly tonight!” The fans cheer, and Briscoe says that they are here on hallowed ground. This is a sacred place. This is the very place where Mark and his brother fell in love with professional wrestling! The fans cheer that, and also for “JAY! JAY! JAY!” Briscoe says dammit, it has been guns blazing ever since. Right here, right now, in 2025, Briscoe’s focus is on a young man, Kyle Fletcher, and the TNT Championship he wears around his waist! Unfortunately, that involved having a conversation with a man named Don Callis.
The fans boo Callis, and even chant, “F DON CALLIS!” Briscoe says exactly right, and yes, that is the same Don Callis that looks like if Elton John dressed up like a prosthetic penis for Halloween! But anyway, Don Callis said Briscoe would have to beat another of his henchmen if he wanted his shot at Kyle and the TNT title. Briscoe is tired of waiting! Let’s do this! Choose your man! Whoever it is, Briscoe is ready! Callis makes his way out here, Rocky Romero and Lance Archer following. The Jackal says, “I have something important to say!” The fans boo that, but Callis tells Briscoe that he knows Briscoe is very impatient.
Callis says he is a little busy getting Kyle and Josh ready for their big main event tonight! So, Mark, if you want your answer, it won’t be one you like. The opponent for Collision will be none other than… THE ALPHA, KONOSUKE TAKESHITA! And with that, the G1 Climax 35 winner makes his way out to the ring! Konosuke stares Briscoe down, and Callis tells Briscoe he better save it for Saturday. Konosuke steps out, but Briscoe says Callis just likes messing with his head, getting him all outta sorts. But Saturday, Konosuke, that is great. Briscoe will be kicking some ass, “Mr. Ta-ke-shi-ta!”
But Briscoe says he has on his fighting britches, so choose another henchmen! Another dude! He wants someone here and now! The fans cheer, and Azucar says he’ll handle this. Callis says alright then, but then says it’ll be LANCE ARCHER instead! The fans are torn, but will the Murderhawk Monster make it so the Sussex County Chicken doesn’t even make it to Collision? Archer storms up to the apron, then steps over the top rope, but Briscoe DROPKICSK him! Archer fires a forearm back, a ref rushes out here, and the match is on!

The ref reprimands, Archer steps off at 4, then he puts Briscoe on ropes to CHOKE! The ref counts, Archer backs off, but Rocky gets cheap shots in! The fans boo but Archer drags Briscoe up to CLUB him down. Briscoe sputters as Dynamite returns to single picture. Archer drags Briscoe up, scoops, but Briscoe slips free!

Direct hit into Archer and the railing! The fans fire up and Briscoe rises up. Briscoe high-fives fans, puts Archer in the ring, and Philly rallies for “DEM BOYS!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
Rocky is furious, but Briscoe gets his 50th win in AEW! Will win number 51 be over The Alpha? Or will Konosuke show Briscoe exactly why he won the G1?
Toni Storm speaks.
“Philadelphia freaks, lend me your ears. If this building could speak, it’d never shut up. Tales of blood, sweat and debauchery, every illegal activity, condoned and cheered in this demented sport of kings. But insanity is relative, so I promise to be the most bats*it b*tch to ever piss in this sink. I remain a woman in search of her murder, a character in search of a plot. No Forever Champion or Belt Collector could take this from my hand, it is my golden cross to bear. So I’m asking, I am pleading, I am begging every woman with a pulse to step up. Come one, come all, and play the role in the greatest show on earth.
“Give me your best, give me your worst, and everything in between! But don’t worry, darlings, God doesn’t judge. That’s MY job!” The Timeless One has thrown down the gauntlet, who will accept this most open of challenges for the AEW Women’s World Championship?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander & Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is now with the Galaxy’s Greatest & The Wild Aussie, noting their big tag team victory last week, but asks what is going on right now as Harley fusses with the face mask. Harley says yes, they were victorious last week, but her mask did NOTHING! She was busted open by The Megasus. This mask does not protect, but it does destroy. Kris says snap out of it, Harley! The wrath is not within the mask, it is within you! Kris snatches the mask away, revealing Harley’s kitty cat makeup! RAWR! Renee now asks what is next for- Kris stops her there, don’t go naming them. Harley says this tag team is undefeated and heated! And headed to the top!
Harley wants BRODIDO! Kris stops her and says no, they can stick to Penelope, Megan, and the Triangle of Madness, like the discussed. But then Wheeler Yuta passes by and talks to “Kristen.” He says this isn’t coming from him, but from the others: The Death Riders have her back. Just know that. Harley tells Yuta he can tell himself that if anyone is looking out for them, it’s them! But then Marina walks over. Kris tells Marina to tell “our friend” that she got the message. Yuta says okay, he’ll go wrestle now. It’ll be tough after what happened earlier, but they’ll be sure to tell you-know-who. Harley says those guys seem fun.
But just why are The Death Riders supporting Kris Statlander? Is there an ulterior motive behind it all? Or are they actually not as horrible as they seem?
AEW World Tag Team Championships: #Brodido VS Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta!
Brody King & Bandido did not like losing their first match out as tag team champions, even if it was an 8 Man Tag. And now, the Death Riders are coming after them to take this all away. Will the King of Death & Most Wanted refuse to be dethroned so soon? Or will the Swiss Cyborg & Decoder bring some redemption back to the Death Riders?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if a new reign of terror will begin!
The teams sort out while the fans bark it up and cheer on “BRO-DI-DO!” Bandido starts against Yuta and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Yuta wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins Bandido. The fans cuss out Yuta like they did earlier, but Yuta wrangles Bandido to the mat.

Claudio suplexes, Bandido fights it, and the fans chant, “MACARENA!” while they fight for suplex control. Claudio lifts Bandido, but Bandido fights off the rest!

The Death Riders mug Bandido, Yuta stomps him at the ropes, then taunts Brody. Bandido crawls, Yuta clamps on with a facelock, and Yuta grinds Bandido down.

Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Renee is with The Rainmaker, Unified Championship on his shoulder. She congratulates him on The Don Callis Family’s huge win over JetSpeed & Brodido. But she couldn’t help but notice the tension between him and Takeshita… Okada says Takeshita calls himself “The Alpha,” which is nice and all… But Okada is the Rainmaker! “And everyone knows the Rainmaker is the real top dog in the Don Callis Family! B*tch!” Harsh words from Okada for his “brother” in the Don Callis Family, but will Takeshita have something to say about that soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Dynamite returns from break and Renee is now with Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley. Renee brings up Ricochet & GOA issuing a Six Man Tag challenge to them for All Out: Toronto. Do they accept? MVP asks Ricochet, “What happened to you? You used to be such a dynamic, exciting professional wrestler! And you turned into a pathetic little kiss ass. That’s why we kicked you to the curb. And now, you’re just a whining hater. You’re setting a terrible example for those two young lions who have chosen to follow you. Ricochet, you’re a joke. Gates of Agony, don’t let Ricochet turn your careers into a punchline.
“Speaking of punchlines, Ricochet, I saw you on Collision talking about, ‘You guys are gonna learn to respect us~!’ Lemme teach you something about respect. When the Hurt Syndicate walks into a room, people give us a wide berth. Because we’re like lions on the Serengeti Plane. We don’t ask for respect, we don’t demand respect, we command respect because people know what we’re capable of. So yes, I accept the challenge. I look forward to lacing up my boots and joining my brothers in combat, and punching you right in your disrespectful, b*tch-made mouth. We are the Hurt Syndicate, and we do hurt people, but Ricochet… In Toronto, we’re gonna hurt you.”
Shelton says, “Renee, it’s been a pleasure.” The Syndicate heads out, will they tear down the Gates of Agony and make The One & Only into the one and done?
Adam Copeland is here!
Speaking of Toronto, All Out will be a homecoming for the Rated R Superstar and his obnoxious friend, Christian Cage, but- FTR ATTACKS! Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler get the drop on Cope! The fans boo as they stomp and CHOKE Cope, but HERE COMES CHRISTIAN! He fires hands on Dax! The fans cheer but FTR still has the edge on C&C! Cope turns that around, as does Christian, and things spill out of the ring! Christian SMACKS Dax off steps while fans chant, “That’s Our Father!” Refs and security rush out here, but they have a hard time keeping these four apart. Christian DECKS one guard, but Dax comes back for more, even though he’s busted open!
Cope and Cash keep going on their side, having done much of the same to the guards! More guards get out here, Stokely shots for this to be broken up, but it goes back into the ring now. Christian drags Cash out, Cope fires hands on Dax! The locker room has to rush out here to stop it! Josh Woods, Jordan Oliver, Adam Priest, some locals, more bodies get in here, but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” FTR backs off, C&C go up the ramp, and things finally seem to have calmed down. But then Dax kicks Jordan Oliver down low! The others panic but too late, Cash is on the corner! MIND BREAKER PILEDRIVER!!
The fans boo and the others rush back in there! FTR pushes them all aside, but Adam Priest is pissed! Adam fires off hands on Dax! The fans fire up, now security has to pull Adam back! Cash & Dax want after him, but security and other wrestlers break this up! Adam lets it go, if only for now. But will FTR and C&C tear each other apart when they go All Out in Toronto?
Daniel Garcia speaks.
“Jon Moxley… I was there at the beginning. I saw you wipe out my heroes. I stood ready to fight when you took this company hostage. Now you’re back in my business. Jon, I’m not a chess piece. I’m sick of reacting instead of acting, of starting but not finishing. And that’s why I asked for one more round. I know what you see in me, Jon, but that’s not all that there is. I will not make the same mi stake twice. So Saturday… take your on advice.” Will Red Death be the death of the Death Rider’s maniacal leader? Or will Moxley continue to have Garcia’s number?
FTR & Stokely Hathaway speak.
Dynamite returns as they regroup backstage, and #BigStoke says Cope & Christian, “Guess who’s back? And the next time you put your hands on me, there’s gonna be a day of reckoning! And I can’t wait until All Out: Toronto for FTR to put you six feet down!” Dax calls to staff and says to bring “him” over here. Adam Priest walks in, he apologizes already, but FTR doesn’t wanna hear it. Who does Adam think he is? He is on TV for a week and thinks he’s somebody? He’s a nobody looking at a bunch of somebodies. They already beat Adam once, so on Saturday, Adam better find a tag partner so FTR can make it twice.
Stokely tells Adam to get his “b*tch ass” outta here, he has something to say. Adam leaves, and Stokely tops it off with, ‘Top Guys Out!” Who will #AllGenresAdam find to have another fight with FTR?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of FTR VS Adam Priest and a mystery partner, on top of Jon Moxley VS Daniel Garcia #OneMoreTime, and on top of Mark Briscoe VS Konosuke Takeshita, we get an All-Star 8 Woman Tag! Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa, Kris Statlander & Harley Cameron team up against Megan Bayne & The Triangle of Madness. But to make sure it doesn’t get too outta hand, ALL OTHERS are banned from ringside! No Penelope Ford to help, no Jamie Hayter or Queen Aminata to get revenge on Thekla! Will the Toxic Spider, The Megasus, Julia Hart & Skye Blue still make for a winning combination? Or will Philly be TIMELESS when Toni, Mina, Kris & Harley make them FEEL THE WRATH?
8 Man Tag: Hangman Page, Kenny Omega & JetSpeed VS Kyle Fletcher, Josh Alexander & The Young Bucks!
Speaking of All-Star, who would’ve thought we’d ever see this combination again? The Cowboy & The Cleaner were once AEW World Tag Team Champions, but it was Matt & Nick Jackson who got in the way back then. But times have changed, as Hangman is once again AEW World Champion, and now the target of The Don Callis Family. Kenny knows a thing or two about Don Callis, so he is going to help his old friend, as well as Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey! Will our heroes stand tall against The Protostar, The Walking Weapon and “These Guys Again?” Or will The Bucks be valuable extended members of the Don Callis Family tree?
The fans cuss Callis out as he joins commentary, and he says tonight’s plan is to hurt everyone and get that world title back in the Callis Family’s hands. The teams sort out, Hangman starts against Alexander. They circle, tie up, and Hangman wrenches an arm.

My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite as AEW continues the Philly residency, with maybe just a pinch of redundancy. Cope & Christian not getting a promo segment to instead brawl with FTR was great stuff, and it was kinda wild that even Adam Priest got to throw hands. But FTR & Stokely talking again just to set up another match of FTR VS Adam Priest and someone, that was not needed. Save it for Collision when they just have a match with Adam and whoever, probably Anthony Henry. FTR will win that, then they can give their verbal retaliation.
Great stuff with the Death Riders tonight, even if half of it was out of nowhere. Gabe and Darby had their brawl as advertised, but of course the rest of the team rushed out there. Good move to bring Hook and The Opps out, it also let them address the falling out they had. I still feel like we’re getting a Bash at the Beach move where Hook turns on The Opps. Darby dragging Gabe away in a body bag via truck was wild, and I oddly like we didn’t get another segment on that, letting Gabe be MIA right now. Very good promo from Kris & Harley right before the tag title match. Great match, and Darby helping Brodido win was good stuff.
Awesome TBS Championship match, that was nearing PPV quality itself. Of course Mone found a way to win, this was “free TV” so no one is going to dethrone Mone on TV. But also, great opening for Riho to return and clearly she’s challenging Mone for the title at All Out now. If anyone A) dethrones Mone and B) becomes the first woman to have held both AEW women’s titles, it should be Riho. Good promos from Ricochet & GOA as well as Hurt Syndicate, and their Six Man Tag for All Out will be some good stuff. Great promo from Garcia to call out Moxley, that rematch will be great stuff, and I kinda hope that’s where Garcia finally beats Moxley to further this story.
And great stuff up and down the show from The Don Callis Family. Very good promo from Briscoe with Callis, and Briscoe VS Konosuke is going to be great, but now it feels like Briscoe won’t win and won’t get his shot at Kyle. Briscoe VS Archer was great stuff, though, good win for him going into that Collision match. Okada’s promo is indicative of the dysfunction, and I bet after Konosuke beats Briscoe, he calls Okada out for a Unified Championship match. It’d mostly be great just to see Callis panic that two of his guys want to fight, and the Continental Championship rules within the Unified title would mean no one can interfere.
The 8 Man Tag from tonight was awesome, that was very NJPW meets PWG levels, as we’ve seen a lot from these guys. The trolling of The Bucks continues to be masterful, and the Heels winning on top of doing the beatdown works out fine. The DCF needs that heat, and this either sets up a world title match, or at least Kyle VS Kenny for the TNT title. Kenny being Don’s original golden boy and Kyle being the newest, that’s a logical match right there to sort of test if Kenny can complete a form of an AEW Grand Slam (he’s had world, tag, and International, might as well get the other midcard title), or if Kyle really is the future of the company.
My Score: 9/10

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?

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

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

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

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

MJF steps through, but Knight BOOTS him away! MJF hits buckles, Knight runs up, but Knight’s leg buckles! MJF SUPERKICKS Knight, then goes up for the LONG ISLAND SUNSRISE! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives the Sunrise and MJF is beside himself! The fans rally up again while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight and MJF stir, Knight still clutching the bad leg. The ref checks him but Knight says he can still go. Knight goes to the ropes, hobbles around, but MJF runs up to KICK the leg out! Knight flounders but MJF stalks him. MJF KICKS the leg out again! Knight flounders against the ropes before falling down. MJF drags Knight to center, talks trash about the leg, then turns Knight over for the HALF CRAB! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally and Knight endures! Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes. MJF is on the apron, Knight hobbles and runs up, but MJF blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW in the ropes! MJF is foaming at the mouth!
MJF DDTS the foot again and again and again! MJF blows snot AND spits on Knight! The fans boo but MJF just snarls as he looms over Knight. MJF Alabama Lifts, and he ALABAMA SLAMS Knight down! Kneeling cover, TWO!! MJF covers again, TWO! Another cover, ONE!!! The fans fire up as Knight refuses to stay down! MJF is furious but the fans cheer Knight on! MJF storms outside, grabs the belt, then snarls as he goes back to the ring. The fans boo but the ref reprimands MJF. Th eref takes the belt, but duh! Dynamite Diamond Ring! But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP! Ace just manages to clear the apron and the fans fire up for that! Ace gets Okada up and into the ring. Ace climbs, springboards, but Okada dodges! But then Ace fireman’s carries! Okada slips free, ROLLING- NO, Ace blocks to KNEE low!
Ace KICKS and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Then “CLICK CLICK!” BOOM DROP! The fans fire up for Ace as he runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! Ace pushes Okada out, springboards, and FLYING LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Ace is stunned! Ace takes out his ace card, and runs up for- A BOOT! Ace still reels Okada in, but Okada fights the suplex. Ace wrenches, Okada rolls Ace, TWO! Okada CLUBS Ace down! Okada drags Ace up, whips him to ropes, but Ace avoids the dropkick! Ace then lines up the shot again, THE- NO, Okada pops Ace up, but Ace sunset flips! TWO!! Okada rises, BOOTS, and Ace falls!
Okada lines up a shot, he runs up, but he blocks a boot. Okada flips Ace, Ace lands safe on the apron and ROCKS Okada! Ace steps in again, FLYING- DROPKICK! The anti-air hits hard, then Okada ripcords! RAIN- NO, Okada ducks it to backslide! TWO!! Callis freaks out at how close that was! Ace runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low. Rocky wrenches, CLUBS, and CLUBS the bad arm. Rocky CLUBS away on the arm, then wrenches again. Cage KNEES low, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Rocky slides for the soccer celebration, but Cage snatches him! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO!

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 then TORNADO DDTS Rocky! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Cage and Rocky crawl, hot tags to Trent and Cope! The fans fire up as Cope BACKDROPS Trent! Then FLAPJACKS! Then he whips corner to corner, runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Trent has Cope, TORNADO- NO, Cope denies the DDT, then hits the IMPALER! Cover, but Rocky runs up! Cope moves, the ELBOW DROP hits Trent! The fans cheer, and Cope ROCKS Rocky! And CHOPS Trent! Cope runs, but into a DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! And then another DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! Trent Alabama Lifts Cope while Rocky climbs, but Cage SHOVES Rocky down! And a BOOT into the CODE RED! Cover, but Rocky breaks it! Cage has Rocky but Rocky CLAWS Cage’s face! Rocky runs, but Cage SMACKS him with the brace! Trent CLOBBERS Cage! But Cope SPEAR- NO, Trent leaps over! Roll-up, with feet on the ropes! The ref sees it in time!
The fans cheer as Trent is caught cheating! Trent argues with the ref, then pleads with him. But Cope runs up, only for Trent to BOOT him! Trent runs up, but Cope pops him up, for Cage’s SPEAR! Cover, C&C win!
Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: The Divine Dominion VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down! So Kris makes it a cross-legged cover, TWO! Kris ends up on ropes, Lena blocks the ref’s view, Megan hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Megan grins as she gets one in, then Lena Electric Chair Lifts Kris! To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.
Kris flounders around but Lena drags her up. Kris fires body shots but Lena CLUBS her. Lena snapmares, runs, and SLIDING- NO, Kris turns that into a ghost pin! TWO, and Lena LARIATS Kris down! Lena snarls as she covers, TWO! Lena clamps onto Kris with a chinlock and grinds her down. Shida is back on the corner, and she rallies with the fans for Kris to get up. Kris rises, but Lena THROWS her back down by her hair! Lena “apologizes” to the ref, then covers, TWO! Kris toughs it out but Lena keeps on her. Lena stands Kris up, but Kris JAWBERAKERS! And throat chops! And LEG SWEEPS! Dynamite returns as Kris crawls!
Lena tags Megan, and Megan runs up to BLAST Shida! Then Divine Dominion reel Kris in for a DOUBLE- NO, Kris fights the suplex! Kris fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP on the champs! The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
