PLAY BY PLAY
Sit-down interview with Toni Storm and Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette thanks the TIMELESS challenger and the Galaxy’s Greatest AEW Women’s World Champion for sitting with her, and to accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Though as Renee is saying this, Toni is putting her hat and jacket aside while Kris is taking off her jacket. Then Toni’s suspender straps come down and Kris takes off her cargo pants…? Renee says they are just days away from the highly anticipated rematch for this title, and… Y’know what? ENOUGH! Renee throws off her own jacket to make a point. She doesn’t know where their heads are, but Toni can go first.
Toni tells Kris that it isn’t Kris, it’s her. Toni thought that when she would eventually lose the title, she’d be free. She’d have a release of the years and tears I’ve spent fighting for it. But now, she has nothing. Her canvas is blank, and her heart only starts beating when she dreams of winning it all back. “I am that title. Close your eyes and picture, and it’s around this waist. I’ve done with that championship what no one else has done, and if that means fighting at my absolute best to take it away from a women whom I admire, then so be it. And if you are indeed my murderer, then so be that, too. I don’t know who I am without that title. But darling, who are you?”
Kris says, “You’ve let this lost cause you to delude yourself.” But Toni needs to remember who he’s been all along. Meanwhile, Toni’s never been able to figure Kris out, because she is constantly evolving. Who she is is a culmination of everything that she was before. Kris is already different than the person she faced at All Out, and that was just a taste of everything Kris will be. “We are living in this world, and I am the champion of it. I am an extraordinary being, a killer as dangerous as the cosmos are large, a person who will outlive her doubters with her determination, her grit, her ability, and the most deserving of this prestige in this very moment, no matter the timeline!
“So Godspeed, Toni Storm, I will give you the rest you so deeply deserve.” Toni says, “Professional wrestling is a lie that reveals the truth. And we’ve told some ridiculous lies.” Toni stands up from her chair and steps closer to Kris to tell her, “At WrestleDream, we will find out the truth.” Kris tells Toni, “You know the truth. You just have to accept it.” Renee says powerful words, and Kris asks if the interview is over. Renee tentatively says yes, and Toni says good! Kris can meet her in the ring! The lapel mics are off and both women head out. Are these two forces of nature about to get that scrap they so badly wanted last week?
In fact, perhaps they are! They’re already ringside, and Toni throws her button-up off so she and Kris can throw hands! The fans fire up, Toni dodges and hits a THESZ PRESS! The fans fire up as Storm rains down fists! Kris gets loose, wrenches Toni, and hits an ANGLE SLAM! The fans fire up again as Kris storms around. But then Toni throws the belt to Kris, and dares her to do it! Hit her! Kris sets the belt down, but Toni HEADBUTTS her! And reels her in, but Kris pops free! Storm ducks the roundhouse, and she hits a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans are torn, but now Kris dares Toni to hit her with the belt!
The fans are torn again, Toni winds up, but then she hesitates. Toni instead puts the belt on Kris’ shoulder, and kisses her on the forehead. Is that be Toni’s kiss goodbye to Kris? Or for herself?
Jurassic Express speaks.
Jack Perry is whittling something from a wood block as he says, “Jurassic Express VS The Young Bucks at WrestleDream. Bucks, I just want to tell you, I don’t hate you. If I’m being fully honest, I love you guys. And I will always be grateful for everything that you did for me. But when I needed you most, you didn’t pick up the phone. When I needed you most, you didn’t have my back. So I had to look deep into my past to find somebody who would.” Luchasaurus snarls as he steps in, and it seems he’s already ready to fight. Jurassic Express will team up with Kenny Omega later tonight, will they all settle the score with The Don Callis Family?
The Hurt Syndicate VS The Gates of Agony!
Between All Out and Homecoming, these factions are tide at 1-1. The Six Man Tag tiebreaker is set for WrestleDream this Saturday, but between Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin or Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona, which dominant duo gains momentum for their team?
The teams sort out and Shelton starts against Kaun. The fans fire up for the Standard of Excellence as he dares the Cameroonian Prince to step up. Kaun indeed steps up, the fans rally, and the hands start flying! Shelton RAMS Kaun into the corner, fires haymakers, but the ref counts. Kaun CLAWS eyes and turns things around to stomp a mudhole and CHOP! Shelton snarls while Kaun mockingly applauds. Kaun CHOPS again, but Shelton smirks. Kaun smiles, kicks low, and suplexes, but Shelton slips free! SLEEPER! Kaun fights it, Shelton shoves him and BOOTS him! The fans fire up and Shelton drags Kaun back up.
Shelton suplexes Kaun hard, then he tags Lashley. The fans cheer as All Mighty Lashley whips Kaun for him and Shelton to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Lashley stares down the Samoan Lion while the fans rally. Lashley suplexes Kaun and holds him up! The fans count to TEN before the SLAM! Lashley paces and the fans cheer, then Lashley RAMS Kaun into the corner! Lashley RAMS Kaun again and again, then ROCKS him! The fans fire up and Lashley throws elbows! Lashley reels Kaun in for a NECKBREAKER! Lashley waits on Kaun, then brings him around, but Kaun kicks low! Lashley kicks in return!
Lashley whips, Kaun goes up, but Lashley catches him! Kaun slips free, shoves Lashley, then ducks ‘n’ dodges! Liona tags in, but Lashley is ready! Lashley LARIATS Liona up and out! Ricochet panics and the fans fire up! But Kaun goes after Lashley, only for Lashley to ROCK him! Lashley steps through but Kaun KICKS ropes to jam Lashley up! Ricochet distracts the ref as Liona SAMOAN DROPS Lashley on the floor! Ricochet applauds and The Demand has control as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Liona drags Lashley up and whips him hard into barriers! Lashley slumps down, Liona soaks up cheers and jeers from Kansas City, then has the chair. But MVP has his cane and he dares Liona to do something. Liona smirks and drops the chair to step into the ring. Kaun stomps Lashley behind the ref’s back, so MVP kicks Kaun! The fans cheer as MVP gets away with it, but then defends Kaun started something. But this just distracts the ref, allowing GOA to whip Lashley hard into barriers! Ricochet defends he had nothing to do with it. Kaun puts Lashley in the ring, covers, TWO! Kaun tags Liona, the GOA mugs Lashley, and Liona brings Lashley around.
Liona facelocks Lashley and squeezes tight. Lashley endures, fights free with body shots and forearms, but Liona CLUBS him! Liona clamps onto Lashley to scoop and carry him around, then SLAM! And FALLING HEADBUTT! Cover, Shelton breaks it! Lions stares Shelton down but the ref has both sides back off. Liona has Lashley on ropes and CHOKES him! The ref counts, Liona stops at 4, and they argue now, allowing Kaun to BOOT Lashley down! Kaun mockingly applauds, then backs off as Liona drags Lashley up. Liona brings Lashley into the ring, CLUBS him, CLUBS him again, and again!
Dynamite returns to single picture as Lashley fires forearms in return! Lashley runs, but Liona CLOBBERS him! The fans boo but Liona soaks it up. Liona drags Lashley up while the fans rally, and Liona whips him to a corner. Lashley reverses and Liona hits buckles! Lashley runs in, but Liona BOOTS him away! Liona roars, runs up, but Lashley clinches! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! The fans fire up again while both men are down! Lashley and Liona crawl, hot tags to Kaun and Shelton! The fans fire up as Shelton DECKS Kaun, DECKS him again, then fires fast hands! Shelton whips corner to corner, runs up, STINGER SPLASH!
Shelton kicks, Kaun blocks, but the DRAGON WHIP hits! Shelton then runs corner t o corner again, but Ricochet gets Kaun out of the way! So Shelton just STEP-UP KNEES Ricochet down! But Kaun rolls Shelton up, TWO! Shelton waistlocks, GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and Shelton stalks up on Kaun again, GERMAN SUPLEX! But LIona rushes in! Liona scoops, Shelton slips free, and Shelton runs, SATELLITE DDT! But Liona is right up!? And he HEADBUTTS Shelton down! The fans boo but Liona says shove it, KC! Liona drags Shelton up, but Lashley CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up but the ref reprimands everyone.

The fans are all fired up while Kaun and Shelton stir. MVP tries to sneak his cane in there, but the ref sees that plain as day! They argue now, and Ricochet slithers in! SPIRIT GUN on Shelton!! The One & Only scurries away and the fans boo! So MVP CLOBBERS Ricochet with the cane! But Kaun still covers Shelton, GOA wins!
Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
MVP CLOBBERS Kaun with the cane! Kaun bails out, The Demand regroups, but they just got a massive win over Shelton & Lashley! Is this an omen of what’s going to happen at WrestleDream? Or will Ricochet & GOA learn just how badly The Hurt Syndicate can hurt people?
Jon Moxley and Darby Allin have their final face-to-face.
In an undisclosed location, though clearly a correctional facility visitor room, The Maniac and the Relentless One sit on opposite sides of the glass. Moxley sits down and says, “One heck of a situation we’ve got going on here. But to make sure we all understand the implications of an I Quit match… In Toronto, there was zero chance you were gonna put me into a coffin. The game was rigged, it was never gonna happen. This game was rigged in both directions. You will never quit. I’m certainly not going to quit. So what’re we gonna do, man? I’m out of ideas. So what do you wanna do? How’s this gonna end? If you want to be on the right side of history, though, it is never too late.”
Darby says, “It is, Jon. I wish that I could, but I can’t. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about joining the Death Riders. I understand the cause. I understand what it is you’re trying to do. But it’s you. It’s you I don’t respect. This is all about Danielson. I saw what you did to him. What would I wanna go into a war with somebody who stabs his brother in the back? Why would I wanna go to war with somebody that finds someone so disposable, someone they considered family?” Moxley says if we’re talking Bryan, Moxley did the best he could for Bryan.
This is a war for the future of this sport, this is a war for the future of their craft, and sacrifices need to be made. Hard decisions have to be made. And you think that wasn’t tough for Moxley? You don’t know what sacrifice is. You don’t know what having that weight on your shoulders is, none of them do. Darby says when he was on the summit of Mount Everest, holding the AEW banner above the world, it was that AEW represents freedom. And Darby knows what Moxley is doing: He is slowly chipping away at everything that makes AEW special. And Darby will hang that flag in his house so that every day, it reminds him of everything AEW gives him.
But before he does… Darby will wrap it around Moxley’s throat. And when Moxley says the words, “I quit,” at WrestleDream, all those Death Riders that blindly follow him will realize Moxley’s war doesn’t mean a thing. This whole operation will come crumbling down. Moxley says it might not mean anything to Darby, but Moxley has never lied to him. Darby’s opponent at WrestleDream isn’t really Moxley. It never has been. It’s never been the guy standing across the ring from Darby. Every time Darby goes into the ring, or climbs a mountain, or jumps his skateboard off a bridge or he sets himself on fire, shoots himself out of a cannon…
What Darby is doing is fighting ghosts, spirits, demons of his past, whatever, and that’s none of Moxley’s business. Moxley’s played that game, and it never ends well. Chasing highs, trying to prove to the world that you’re indestructible. There is a selfishness to that, and Moxley is not selfish. The biggest difference between them going into WrestleDream, and the thing Darby cannot get through his head, is that this is not about Moxley! And then PAC ATTACKS DARBY! The Bastard does Moxley’s dirty work as he SMASHES Darby against the table, the walls, and repeat! Pac then SMACKS Darby up against the glass window, smearing blood on it!
Darby sputters and coughs as he slumps down against the glass. Moxley isn’t playing fair, but will it not matter when Darby can do even worse at WrestleDream?
Roderick Strong VS Claudio Castagnoli!
Well, speaking of Moxley, The Savior of the Backbreaker called him out to step up and fight, but given what we just saw, that wasn’t gonna happen. Instead, the Swiss Cyborg is going to step up, looking to see just how strong Roddy is. Can Roddy take Claudio off the board for WrestleDream? Or will “The One True King” have his knight with him on Saturday?
The bell rings and the two tie up. The fans rally as the two go around, and Claudio puts Roddy in a corner. Roddy powers Claudio back, they grapple on the mat, and Roddy facelocks, Claudio pushes Roddy down, but Roddy shifts to trap an arm. Claudio uses that to roll Roddy, but Roddy fights off the lateral press. They fight up, Roddy and Claudio clinch and end up on the ropes. The ref counts, the two refuse to let go until he reaches 4, but then Claudio UPPERCUTS! The fans boo but Roddy is right up to CHOP! Roddy CHOPS again, the fans “WOO~,” and Roddy CHOPS again! Claudio UPPERCUTS Roddy down!
Claudio drags Roddy up to whip him to a corner, but then Roddy dodges to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Claudio headlocks, hits a takeover, but Roddy keeps his shoulders up. Roddy fights up, the fans rally, and Roddy powers up and out. Claudio kicks, Roddy blocks, and he CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Then he ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio ROCKS Roddy! Claudio UPPERCUTS, hits another headlock takeover, and he fights off the headscissors. Roddy fights around, pushes back with his forearm, then stands up to power out again. Claudio RUNS Roddy over this time, then things keep moving. Roddy leaps, but into a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!
The fans rally as Claudio headlocks. Roddy slips out, Claudio chinlocks again, and the fans rally as Claudio leans on the hold. Roddy rises, Claudio scoops, and Claudio SLAMS! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Claudio clamps right back on with a chinlock. Roddy endures again and the fans rally up. Roddy fights around, rises up, and Roddy fires body shots. Roddy ROCKS Claudio, ROCKS him again, but Claudio whips and BOOTS! Roddy falls to the apron, Claudio storms over, but Roddy goes to the floor. Claudio goes out, drags Roddy up, but Roddy fights the suplex! Roddy then ROCKS Claudio!
Claudio ROCKS Roddy, then goes back to the outside. But Roddy ENZIGIRIS! And then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Claudio writhes and the fans fire up! Roddy hobbles and slides into the ring, then builds speed to WRECK- NO, Claudio catches the dropkick, and SWINGS Roddy into railing! The fans fire up while Roddy is down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio catches his breath before he drags Roddy up. Claudio then says move, and he THROWS Roddy into the timekeeper’s area! Claudio leaves Roddy behind for the ring count to handle, and we’re already at 5 of 10. Roddy flounders, crawls from the timekeeper’s area, and stands at 8. Roddy hobbles and slides in at 9.5! But Claudio GUT WRENCH PLEXES! Cover, TWO! Roddy stays in this but Claudio brings him around. Claudio HEADBUTTS Roddy down, then clamps on a NECK WRENCH! Roddy endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Then CHOPS! Claudio CHOISP in return, so Roddy CHOPS again. Claudio overhand CHOPS!
Roddy staggers away, Claudio CHOPS him down, then fires UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT! The ref counts, Claudio stops, backs off, and the ref checks Roddy. Roddy is still in this, so Claudio hits a headlock takeover. Roddy endures the grind, keeps his shoulder up, and fights back up. Dynamite returns to single picture as Roddy powers up and out, to DROPKICK Claudio! The fans fire up while both men are down! Claudio goes to ropes, Roddy rises up, and Roddy runs side to side to ROCK Claudio with forearm after forearm! But Claudio LARIATS! Cover, TWO! But into a CROSSFACE! Roddy endures while the fans rally up!
Roddy fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer as Roddy survives by a literal foot! Claudio lets go in frustration, but he fires UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT in the corner again! The fans boo but Claudio clinches and SPIDE SLAMS! Cover, TWO! Roddy shows that grit, but Claudio goes for legs. Roddy resists, then kicks and kicks until Claudio staggers back. Roddy is up, he dodges, LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up as Roddy gets back up to CALF KICK! Claudio staggers up, Roddy fires off a forearm and a CHOP! Roddy whips, Claudio reverses, but Roddy dodges the boot! Claudio is stuck and Roddy CLOBBERS him!
The fans fire up as Roddy then runs, and he WRECKS Claudio with a dropkick! Claudio hits barriers and Roddy is right after him! BARRIER BACK SUPELX! Claudio sputters and drops to his knees! The fans fire up and Roddy hurries to put Claudio back in. Roddy runs at the corner, but Claudio stops the knee! Claudio puts Roddy up top and UPPERCUTS! Claudio climbs, gut wrenches, but Roddy clings to ropes! The fans fire up as Roddy then slips down, and he spins Claudio around to GAMANGIRI! Roddy turns Claudio around again, then climbs up. Roddy CLUBS Claudio, Claudio fires an elbow, but Roddy fires more shots!
Roddy scoops Claudio for a TOP ROPE BACKBREAKER! Both men fall and the fans fire up again! Both men crawl, Claudio stands, but Roddy runs in! But Claudio stops another knee attack, POP-UP UPPERCUT!! Cover, Claudio wins!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall
Roddy was indeed strong, but he wasn’t as strong as Claudio! Claudio leaves through the crowd, certainly to regroup with The Death Riders. Will Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta be able to do the same later tonight? Or can The Conglomeration avenge Roddy?
Don Callis celebrates his birthday.
It was the other day in a very posh restaurant’s private room that The Jackal met with his Family for a feast. They all applauded and sang, “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow!” Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada sit on Don’s right and left as they are the AEW TNT and Unified Champions, respectively. Callis says October 13th is a great day because it is his birthday! He thanks them all for being here today for him, and he just wants to let them know that he is there for them. Not just today, but every day! A lot of people ask about the growing numbers of the Family, and Don says they are doing it for one reason: power! And to protect the interests of each and every one of them!
Numbers are power, and Don doesn’t like terms like, “Work stoppage,” “Picket line,” but he is prepared to do whatever it takes to get what this family and what each of them needs. That is his promise and his gift to them. Now speaking of gifts, what to open first? The Protostar says hold on, because first, he has a very special surprise! He unveils the TV screen to show a message from Konosuke Takeshita! Okada hits play on the remote for The Alpha to say he is sorry he couldn’t be there in person. But he also isn’t just going to say Happy Birthday.
Konosuke knows Callis has done so much for his career, and now he will win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship for Callis and The Family. He hopes that he can make- Okada stops the video?! Callis asks what happened, and Okada claims sorry, wrong button. Well, all good, guys! Let’s toast! It is predictable, though: To family! They all clink glasses, drink up, and indeed, Konosuke is the NEW IWGP World Heavyweight Champion! And now with WrestleDream on the horizon, will The Alpha & The Rainmaker become a Two Man Power Trip? Or will Brodido stop the Callis Family’s conquest of AEW?
Six Man Tag: Kenny Omega & Jurassic Express VS Hechicero, Josh Alexander & Mark Davis!
Don Callis of course goes and tells Justin Roberts to “callete” on this, because he has an “important announcement.” It is his pleasure to welcome back to The Don Callis Family the Pride of Australia! The dingo didn’t eat your baby, it’s Dunkzilla, Mark Davis! Then, the greatest technical wrestler in the great history of Canada, the man who snapped the leg of Kota Ibushi like a twig! It’s the Walking Weapon, Josh Alexander! And then the one of one, from the great country of Mexico, ladies and gentlemen, this goat is muy loco and muy caliente! “Yo… soy… HECHICEROOOOOOO~!” The Alchemist of Lucha now makes his entrance, and they head to the ring.
Despite Callis’ bad Spanish, it is true that these three men are going to step up for The Family against The Beast Bout Machine and his new allies. But can Kenny trust Jack Perry & Luchasaurus? Or are they all too focused on their own goals to win tonight?
Dynamite returns as fans wave their hands and sing along with Jurassic Express’ entrance. Then Kenny makes his entrance to join them, getting quite a bit of pyro. Callis is on commentary and he blames Ibushi’s injury on Kenny for putting his friend in such a situation. The teams sort out and Omega calls out Alexander for how things went down on Collision. The fans cheer Kenny on and Alexander obliges. The bell rings, but then Alexander tags out to Hechi! The fans boo and Omega is annoyed, but he and Hechi circle. They tie up, Omega headlocks, but Hechi switches to a waistlock. Omega wrenches free, wristlocks, then pushes Hechi down to get a chinlock.

Then Kenny PLANCHAS and down goes Hechi! The fans fire up, but Alexander is right there! Kenny chases him off, but Davis CLOBBERS him! The fans boo but Alexander drags Kenny up and into the ring.

Jamie Hayter VS Skye Blue w/ Julia Hart!
While the Toxic Spider is her real aim, the Southampton slugger will gladly knock one of the corners off the Triangle of Madness here tonight. Will everyone remember that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the dark Skye leave Hayter feeling blue?

Julia is disappointed, but even she knows Hayter Hits Hard. Jamie kisses the biceps that got the job done, but then Thekla is on the tron. “Congratulations! Not to you, Jamie, to me. Because look how far I’ve made it. Misunderstood in Europe, got kicked out of Japan, I’ve been around the world, and I’m not impressed. Jamie, the reason I attacked you in May is… You were just there. Wrong place at the wrong time. And now, you are again. My game has no rules. Cuz my name means chaos! And my name means poison! And on Saturday, baby, it’s gonna get toxic to the core! So c’mon, Jamie, impress me.” Hayter says whatever. Will Jamie be able to crush that Toxic Spider once and for all?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee is now with #TenBeltsMone, The CEO, and Mone says you can refer to her now as the Greatest Of All Time, ULTIMO MONE! Yes, a huge congratulations by tying Ultimo Dragon this past Friday in Denmark when she defeated Alice Lenk for the Body Slam Wrestling Championship.

She first has a match on Friday to defend the CMLL Women’s World Championship against Persephone. And y’know what else will happen? She’ll become the LONGEST REIGNING TBS Champion ever!
Mone fangirls for herself and asks how many days that is. Renee says it is 509! Yes, 509 DAYS! She loves it when she doesn’t have to do the math around here. So yes, your CEO will be making her way to WrestleDream, with all ten titles, and the longest-reigning TBS Champion of all time! Time to celebrate! But is Mone getting ahead of herself?

AEW World Trios Championships: The Opps VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
Katsuyor Shibata knows Rush, Dralistico y Beast Mortos are some real bad hombres, but he also knows they’ve been picking on small fry to boost their egos! The Wrestler wants El Toro Blanco, The Prince of Silver and their menacing minotaur to man up and face some real competition, and has even convinced Samoa Joe & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs to put up the gold. But will the Samoan Submission Specialist regret putting up his gold before going after Hangman’s? Or will this simply be a violent message sent to The Cowboy?
The introductions are made, the AEW belts are raised, and we see who’s truly #NeverLacking!
The trios sort out while the fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Joe stands down, and while Shibata wants after Rush, we get Hobbs and Mortos to start. The fans fire up as these two big behemoths stare down. They shoulder bump each other, then they run to RAM! And RAM! “MEAT!” And RAM! “MEAT!” The fans fire up while Mortos snarls and clutches the shoulder. But then he HEADBUTTS! Mortos whips Hobbs to a corner, LARIATS, and then runs, but Hobbs follows!

Mortos SMACKS Joe, roars, but then Joe fires JAB after JAB! “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Joe CHOPS Mortos, run sin at the corner, ELBOW and PELE!
Mortos sits down, the fans fire up, and Joe stares Hangman down. Hangman says Joe is a “Christmas ham of a man, but he can move.” Joe goes to Mortos to stomp away, then he bumps Mortos off buckles. Tag to Shibata and Shibata KNEES low. Shibata snapmares Mortos, then runs, to BOOT Rush! Dralistico gets in and retaliates, then Mortos joins in. Rush also gets in there, and he has Mortos BLAST Hobbs while Rush DECKS Joe! The fans fire up, Dralistico KICKS Shibata, and LFI mugs The Wrestler. Mortos SMACKS Shibata, brings him around, and tags Rush. Rush KICKS the arm, then he whips Shibata to a corner.

Sammy backs down while Rush drags Shibata up. Rush taunts Joe, wrenches Shibata, and hammerlocks Shibata before he tags in Dralistico. Dralistico snapmares Shibata to then run and run and basement DROPKICK! Cover, Hobbs breaks it! The ref has Hobbs back down, and Dralistico drags Shibata around. Dralistico wraps the legs up into a modified DEATHLOCK! Shibata endures, CHOPS Dralistico, but Dralistico hits back! Dralistico then lets go to SMASH the knee on the mat! Dralistico wrenches Shibata, tags Mortos, and Dralistico snapmares Shibata for Mortos’ slingshot SENTON! Cover, ROPEBREAK!
Joe storms in and kicks Mortos for good measure, but the ref has everyone back off. Mortos drags Shibata back up, snapmares and NECK TWISTS! Cover, TWO!

Rush distracts the ref and Mortos LOW BLOWS Shibata! The fans boo and give thumbs down but Mortos gets away with one. Tag to Rush and they mug Shibata. Rush whips Shibata to a corner, LARIATS, then sits him down. Rush stomps away, then goes corner to corner, just to fake the dropkick and BOOT Shibata instead!
Rush flips Joe off, the ref keeps Joe back, and then Rush rolls back to tranquilo. Tag to Morots, he drags Shibata up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Mortos drags Shibata over, tags Dralistico, and they double whip Shibata to then SOBAT and KNEE SMASH! Dralistico runs to wheelbarrow with Mortos, victory roll SPEAR! Dralistico drags Shibata to a cover, TWO! Shibata survives a bad fall into ropes with that attack, but Dralistico puts him in the corner.

Winners: The Opps, by submission (still AEW World Trios Championships)
Indeed, they are #NeverLacking! Joe did not lose his focus, he did not lose his title, but LFI ATTACKS ANYWAY! These sore losers beat The Opps up 4v3! The fans boo, Hangman isn’t sure what to do, but then Rush SPITS at Hangman! Hangman says if that’s how Rush wants this…! Hangman says thanks to commentary, this was a pleasure, and now he storms into the ring! Hangman DECKS Rush, DECKS Dralistico, then BOOTS Mortos! Hangman TOSSES Dralistico, LARIATS Mortos, but Rush TOSSES Hangman back out! But Hangman’s on the apron! Slingshot, but Sammy gets Rush outta there! No Buckshot for this bull!
Hangman warns LFI, but then Joe holds up the AEW World Championship. Joe turns around to stare Hangman down. Joe holds the belt out to Hangman, and then pushes it into him. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” but will that really be the case? Or will Joe be in store for some real #CowboySh*t?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia w/ Marina Shafir!
There are quite a few layers to this one, as Freshly Squeezed once saw The Decoder as a friend, as did the Violent Artist with the Red Death. But Yuta & Garcia have both gone to the dark side, brainwashed by Moxley’s dogma. But will Yuta & Garcia be victorious like Claudio was earlier tonight? Or will Cassidy & Kyle even the score?
The teams sort out and Yuta starts against Cassidy. The fans are already telling Yuta off and he’s barely done anything. The bell rings, Cassidy steps up, but then Yuta tags out! The fans boo but Garcia steps in. Garcia circles with Cassidy, ties up, then he trips Cassidy with a leg sweep. Cassidy gets up, the fans rally behind him, and Cassidy resets with Garcia. They tie up, Garcia waistlocks, but Cassidy wrenches to wristlock. Garcia rolls to wrench in return, but Cassidy rolls, then teetertotters, and he builds up the momentum to kip up!

The fans boo, but Yuta & Garcia coordinate while Collision goes picture in picture.

Garcia goes to nine, puts up his dukes, then steps off, denying the fans any satisfaction. But Kyle fires forearms! Garcia KNEES low! Garcia bumps Kyle off buckles, then ROCKS him!
Tag to Yuta, he fires off hands on Kyle, but the ref backs him down. That lets Garcia CHOKE Kyle behind his back! Garcia gets away with it, and Yuta snapmares Kyle for some HAMEMR ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Collision returns to single picture as Yuta tags Garcia. Yuta then BLASTS Cassidy off the apron! Garcia fires HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS of his own! The fans boo, Garcia tags Yuta, and they give DOUBLE HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS on Kyle! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Yuta clamps on with a CROSSFACE! Kyle endures as Yuta pulls way back! Kyle kicks his way over to the ROPEBREAK!
The ref counts, Yuta lets go at 4 to remind us that he has ’til 5! The fans boo Yuta copying Bryan Danielson, but then Yuta tags Garcia. They mug Kyle, but Kyle fires KICK after KICK! Garcia & Yuta mug Kyle with hammering fists! They stomp and knee low, then CHOP Kyle down! Garcia whips Yuta in, but Kyle ELBOWS him! And BOOTS Garcia!

Moxley shouts at Garcia, Marina gets in the ring, and the ref stops her, only to miss Garcia tapping out!! Kyle would’ve won! Kyle lets go, but he’s confused as to what’s going on. PAC CLOBBERS CASSIDY!! The Bastard strikes again, but then Kyle FLYING KNEES Pac! Claudio CLOBBERS Kyle!! Claudio puts Kyle in, Garcia has the cover, DEATH RIDERS WIN!
Winners: Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
And they might as well put this as “Death Riders” on the card, because it took them all to screw over Cassidy & Kyle! And now they’re all mugging Cassidy & Kyle! But here comes the rest of The Conglomeration! Roddy & Ishii CLOBBER Pac, fight Claudio, but Yuta BUSAIKU KNEES Ishii! Marina stomps Cassidy, Moxley barks orders, and the brawling spills outside! The Death Riders beat up The Conglomeration 5v4, and Moxley gets a mic. BUT WAIT! Darby is here, too! The fans fire up as The Relentless One hobbles his way out on stage. He may be battered, bruised, and bloodied, but he ain’t dead yet! Maybe undead the way he’s moving, though…
Claudio runs up and UPPERCUTS Darby right down! The fans boo and Moxley just shakes his head. Darby is crawling down the ramp now, determined to reach Moxley. But then Pac BOOTS him down! Darby is still crawling! Darby flops against railing but he makes it to his feet, only for Yuta & Garcia to mug him! Darby doesn’t even register it, he’s just going towards the ring! The Death Riders are at a loss for words but the fans rally behind Darby. Marina BOOTS Darby down! Darby finally stops crawling, but he’s still stirring. Moxley mocks the fans, they boo him, but wait! Darby reaches up over the apron! Darby is like a zombie!
And now Conglomeration is back on their feet! They brawl with the pawns while Darby gets in the ring with “The King.” The fans fire up for Darby, and he pulls out something from inside his jacket. Darby presents the AEW banner, just as he mentioned earlier tonight. Darby grabs Moxley’s mic to say, “It’s never too late, Jon… to say ‘I quit.'” Darby turns things around on Moxley, but Moxley just hits a DEATH RIDER DDT on the banner! The Maniac will not quit, but Darby will not die. Something’s gotta give, who survives at WrestleDream?
Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford!
The Wild Aussie made the save for Willow Nightingale in Jacksonville, and now they will battle The Megasus & Superbad Girl for the “Tailgate Brawl” this Saturday before WrestleDream. But will Harley make sure Megan feels the wrath ahead of time? Or will she be made to #BowDown?
Oh, well of course FTR & Stokely Hathaway enter out here with their “Top Gods” teammates. They all go to the ring together, and #BigStoke already has a mic. The fans boo as Stoke hands the mic to Megan. Megan says, “Willow, how does it feel knowing that you came out here and gave it everything that you had, only to realize that it still wasn’t good enough?” The fans boo more, but Megan smiles as she says, “Now look at you. Trying to dust yourself off, tag in a new friend, and take another swing at the Megasus. You think that makes you a fighter, but really, it just makes you stupid.” The fans boo more but Dax tells them to respect Megan!
Megan says she must not have beat it into Willow hard enough. So maybe watching her tear Harley apart tonight will finally make Willow quit. It may be fun to play hero, but Willow’s fate will always be the same: Bowing down to Megan! The fans boo more, Stoke is given the mic back, and he says, “I cannot articulate how much I hate Willow Nightingale. But I can articulate how much I hate Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey! Kevin Knight has all the potential in the world, but every week, he squanders it hanging out with Mike Bailey, someone who looks Billy Ray Cyrus with an auto-immune disorder!
“Saturday at WrestleDream: Tailgate Brawl, this ends, and we will focus on the one thing that matters after that, and that’s the AEW World Tag Team Championships!” The fans boo more, but then Dax gets the mic. Dax asks everyone settle down because “Daddy” is speaking. “JetSpeed, you have one opportunity. In three days’ time, you have one opportunity to write your name in wrestling’s immortal book of life. Kansas, I want you to sit down for a second. I need you to think. Wait a second, no, no, no, no, you’re taking it too far. I need you to think, use your brain. Think about this: The last 11 YEARS of FTR, TEN world championships across SEVEN different brands!
“Multi-time Tag Team of the Year, multi-time Match of the Year.” The fans tell Dax to STFU, but Dax says if he did, they’d just leave! They paid to see him! But JetSpeed, there may be people in this world that never give FTR their credit, Dax hopes that is not you. Because on Saturday, JetSpeed will stand across the ring from GOD! And- Thank God, Willow, Harley & JetSpeed are interrupting! They tell FTR to pay attention to the tron. Knight tells slow the roll now. They already know FTR has enough rolls on their necks, and they already know FTR is riding high because they beat #JetSpeedBabes last week. Big deal, there’s still a lot of unsettled business.
Speedball suggests they stop talking and get down to action. Harley warns Megasus that she just realized why Megan joined a group of losers! She knows what FTR stands for: FEAR THE RATH!! Wait, where’s the W? Oh… Um… The W will be tonight in the match! And Willow says why say this into a camera? Time to say this to their faces! #JetSpeedBabes and Harley head to gorilla, but then SURPRISE! That was all prerecorded because Willow & Harley get Megan from the crowd side! DOUBLE DDT! The fans fire up and FTR is shocked! And now JetSpeed are on the corners! DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICKS on FTR!
The fans fire up as the brawl is on! Knight LARIATS Cash up and out, Speedball hits a TIME ADVENTURE on Dax! Willow & Harley DOUBLE LARIAT Megan up and out! Then Dax is fed to a Willow SPINEBUSTER! The fans fire up again, and Knight goes up! MOTHERSHIP SPLASH! Dax sputters, FTR is in treat, and the fans cheer! Megan and Harley are still gonna have it out, but will Megan still Feel The (W)Rath?
The bell rings, and Megan FLYING BOOTS Harley! She bumps Harley off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, then stops as the ref counts. Megan stalks Harley along the ropes, then CHOPS! The fans rally for Harley but Megan brings her around. Megan whips Harley into the corner, then runs up, but Harley dodges! Megan hits buckles, and now Harley RAMS into Megan again and again! Harley lets off, but Megan LARIATS her down! The fans boo, Megan drags Harley up, and Megan reels Harley in for a snap suplex! Harley writhes, Megan smirks, and Megan stalks Harley to a corner. Megan KNEES Harley low, KNEES her again and again, then backs off.
Megan goes corner to corner and SPLASHES! Megan then hauls Harley up to OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX! Harley flounders, Megan drags her up, and she scoops to SLAM! Then scoops to SLAM! Then scoops to- NO, Harley slips free! Harley kicks low, KNEES hard, and then headlocks for a BULLDOG HOTSHOT! Megan is stuck int he ropes, Harley CHOKES her! The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Harley stops at 4. Harley bumps Megan off buckles again and again and again, to then KICK! The fans fire up, Harley goes up, but Megan SMACKS her! Megan then drags Harley up the ropes to DEADLIFT SAIDO!
Megan huffs ‘n’ puffs while Harley flounders, and the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.
Megan drags Harley up, TOSSES her out, and Harley hits the floor. Megan goes out after her, brings her around, and THRWOS her into railing! Harley slumps down, Megan drags her back up, but Harley ROCKS her! Megan DECKS Harley in return! Megan scoops Harley to SLAM her on the floor! The ref reprimands, Megan refreshes the ring count, then drags Harley back up. Megan puts Harley in the ring, stalks her, then CHOPS her against the ropes! Collision returns to single picture as Megan CHOPS again. The fans rally, Megan runs up, and Harley BOOTS back! The fans cheer as Harley then dodges in the corner again! ENZIGIRI!
Harley reels Megan in, but Megan fights the back suplex to LARIAT! The fans boo but Megan puts Harley in the drop zone. Megan goes up, up, and to the top! But Harley trips her up! The fans cheer as Harley puts Megan in the Tree of Woe to stomp a mudhole! The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Harley stops to run corner to corner! DROPKICK! Megan falls out of the Tree, Harley keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl and DDT! Cover, TWO!! Megan survives and Harley is beside herself, but the fans rally up. Harley drags Megan up, reels her in, but Megan suplexes first! FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO! Harley survives and the fans fire up!
Megan rises, points to a corner, and she brings Harley up with a fireman’s carry. Megan climbs the corner, soaks up the heat, but Harley sunset flip POWERBOMBS!! High stack, TWO!! Megan survives, almost hoisted on her own petard! Harley lines up a shot, runs in, BACK BODY BLOCK! Harley keeps going, BACK BODY BLOCK! Harley keeps going, but into the LEAPING LARIAT! Megan hauls Harley up again, fireman’s carries, “BOW DOWN!” FATE’S DESCENT!! Cover, TWO?!?! Harley survives and shocks even Megan!! Megan snarls, drags Harley up, and the fans rally up again. Megan reels Harley in, but Harley jackknife bridges! TWO as Megan bridges up!
Megan lifts Harley, for the RUNNING POWERBOMB!! Cover, Megan wins!
Winner: Megan Bayne, by pinfall
Harley pushed Megan further than she expected, and survived longer than most, but Megan sits Harley up as an example to Willow. Will the Tailgate Brawl be where Harley & Willow both #BowDown? Or can the “Babes with the Wrath” overcome these odds?
Eddie Kingston & Hook speak.
The Mad King says LFI, he has two singles wins on those guys, time to move on. No disrespect, but he and Hook just gotta. They gotta do what they said they were gonna do while Eddie was out of action, and that’s move into the tag division. So guess what? They’re gonna be at, uh, what is it? Hook says it’s the Tailgate Brawl. Yeah, word! They’ll be there on…? Saturday! Yeah, like the song! Saturday, they’ll be there. If you want some, come get some! The Open Challenge has been issued, but who will meet Eddie & Hook for a showdown?
Backstage interview with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens.
Alicia Atout is with the Not Acclaimed, and says they’re on a quick win streak of 2-0. The Pride of Pro-Wrestling says that’s where Alicia is wrong, because a real win streak is three wins, and they’re never tagging together again. He is not tagging with the most delusional person in AEW. But Caster says he agrees, they’re never, ever tagging together again, no matter what. That is fortunate, because Caster also hates sharing the ring with someone as smug as Bowens. All these framed pictures, it’s ridiculous! Well, Bowens is glad Caster brought that up, because Bowens has added another one! He was the face of the Fenty Beauty campaign!
These two argue again, Alicia says okay, she understands where they’re coming from, but it doesn’t seem like they have much choice in the matter. Oh, of course not! Tony Khan does! As the Pride of Pro-Wrestling, Bowens begs TK to never put them in a match again. Caster asks TK to never put him in the ring with Bowens period, because Caster has autonomy over his body. Bowens and Caster continue to bicker, then they leave, and Alicia says, “Ladies and gentlemen: The Acclaimed.” Bowens storms back over to say NO, do not say that! It is Bowens and Caster separately! The Pride of Pro-Wrestling and The Best Wrestler Alive, NOT a team, NOT the Acclaimed!
The two storm off again, but are they really done with each other forever? Or are they just lying to themselves?
BREAKING NEWS for Tailgate Brawl!
Firstly, with Hurt Syndicate VS Demand escalating, it has now been upgraded to a TORNADO Trios Match! Will nothing stop these two teams from destroying each other?

Briscoe and Kyle keep on brawling like the match is still going! Are they going to brawl all the way to St. Louis? As for #Brodido, they hold up the tag titles, but wait! CLØN is here! But he’s just a distraction! OKADA CLOBBERS BRODY! The Unified Champion uses his own belt to take out Brody! Bandido fires off hands, then he gut wrenches! But Okada slips free, and RAINMAKER!! Okada has wiped out the tag champions, and he holds up the tag titles as if they’re his own! Will he and Konosuke Takeshita go on a Two Man Power Trip in St. Louis? Or will the sibling rivalry cause them to fall apart at the seams?
My Thoughts:
An awesome three-hour supershow from AEW, but kinda odd how this is the best example in SIX YEARS of material where things actually moved really well. That is, until FTR had to talk in the Collision segment. But JetSpeed interrupting and giving a fun brawl was a good, logical move. Megan VS Harley was a great match, great showing for Harley but of course Megan won out. As it stands, Tailgate Brawl probably sees FTR beat JetSpeed so that FTR can go for the tag titles, and then Harley & Willow beat Megan & Penelope, with Penelope most certainly taking the loss. And good promo from Eddie & Hook to hype their own Tailgate Brawl match, and surely an easy win. I wonder if it ends up Bowens and Caster after their “we’re so not teaming again” promo…
At the same time, they treated this like it really was a separate Dynamite and Collision, meaning we of course got more Death Riders than we needed. Moxley and Darby had a great cinematic promo of them in that prison visitation setting, but I just knew someone would beat up Darby for Moxley. And while Claudio VS Roddy was an awesome match that ended fair and square, it’s a bit disappointing that Garcia & Yuta were all but handed the win by their Death Rider teammates. But hey, at least we’re getting an 8 Man for the Tailgate Brawl. I feel like Marina will be a factor there, as usual, giving Death Riders that win.
Darby in zombie mode was good stuff, and with Moxley standing tall, Darby winning at WrestleDream would make sense. This win would be the perfect comeuppance for everything from before his Mount Everest trip, and it helps Darby head for a title, any title, on the road to Full Gear. Plus, it adds some intrigue to the Death Riders story: How does the faction react if their leader doesn’t win? Or rather, Moxley would be losing again, from losing the title to Hangman to losing this “battle for AEW” to Darby. The Death Riders have hit their critical point, paralleling Bloodline in WWE, so something’s gotta give.
Great match from Hurt Syndicate VS GOA to start this whole night, though that was a rather clunky way to allow Ricochet to cheat. The tornado rules addition to this will basically make this the same as that chaotic Street Fight from Homecoming, but who knows how this goes given the factions are tied. Very good match from Hayter VS Skye, good win for Hayter, and then very good promo from Thekla. Hayter VS Thekla will be great, but I would think it’s mostly to give us our Women’s Blood & Guts teams in the aftermath. That is to say, regardless of who wins (though I am leaning towards Thekla), we’ll see Triangle of Madness, Megan & Penelope fighting Hayter, Aminata, Harley, Willow, and perhaps a pleasant surprise for the fifth, like a returning Thunder Rosa or something.
Great Trios title match for the Dynamite main event, and I’m pleasantly surprised to see Joe didn’t lose focus with Hangman ringside. A shame for LFI but maybe they can circle back around or something. Joe and Hangman had a good stare down, but I feel like Hangman makes it through the match and finally wins Joe’s respect with it. And naturally, a lot of great stuff with the Don Callis Family. That birthday party vignette was good stuff, namely with Okada being passive aggressive towards Konosuke. Great Six Man Tag for Kenny & Jurassic Express to win over Alexander, Hechicero & Davis. The Bucks of course sneak attack, but it fits that Kenny & Jurassic Express turned the tables. I would think then that The Bucks find a way to cheat and win that $500,000 jackpot…
And the main event of Fletcher, Rocky & Archer VS Briscoe, Brody & Bandido was an awesome closer, and another great win for the Faces. However, I feel that means Fletcher retains the TNT title. Okada standing tall over Brodido without Konosuke most certainly means Okada and Konosuke will fall apart so that Brodido retains the tag titles. That would give us Okada VS Konosuke for at least the Unified Championship at Full Gear, with Brodido dealing with FTR for the tag titles, also all awesome stuff.
My Score: 9/10

Will facing Mansoor, Mason Madden & Johnny TV be more than enough to prepare Cassidy for Dax Harwood? Or will MXM TV finally have their own chance at the AEW World Trios titles?
The trios sort out and Kyle steps up against Mansoor. The bell rings, they circle, and Mansoor shows off his drop steps. He might also be mocking Kyle as he drops down and puts up a leg guard. The two circle, and Kyle KICKS Mansoor’s leg! Mansoor tags to Mason, and Mason also mocks Kyle with a kung-fu stance. Kyle just KICKS Mason’s leg! Mason shouts, “OW!” Mason tags Johnny and the fans cheer. Johnny and Kyle circle, Johnny avoids a kick and goes for the leg. Johnny cartwheels but Kyle KICKS him in the chest! Kyle puts Johnny in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags in.
Roddy climbs up and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags Cassidy. Cassidy climbs up, the fans cheer, but MXM YANK Kyle & Roddy down! Then Johnny sweeps the legs! No mercy in this dojo! Johnny fires hands on Cassidy while MXM mugs Kyle & Roddy! The ref reprimands, but Johnny TOSSES Cassidy out! Then MXM TV set up, and Johnny FLIES to wipe out Roddy & Kyle! The fans are torn, but MXM build speed, to then POSE! The fans cheer, especially as Cassidy rolls in and joins them! MXM shoves Cassidy, he ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he BOOTS Mansoor while he tilt-o-whirls!
Mason stops the DDT, throws Cassidy to Mansoor, LEG LARIAT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Johnny is in, STARSHIP PAIN!! Cover, Kyle breaks it! MXM mugs Roddy & Kyle, then they TOSS them out. MXM TV drag Cassidy up, and Mason Electric Chair Lifts! But Kyle trips Johnny while Roddy saves Cassidy! Then they shove Mason into Mansoor! Mansoor lands bad on his catwalk, and Kyle FLYING KNEES Johnny on the outside! Mason runs up, he LARIATS Roddy, then he blocks the Orange Punch! DOUBLE CHOP for Cassidy! Roddy CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Roddy runs, slips around, and manages an ANGLE SLAM!
The fans fire up as Roddy gives Cassidy the boost, and he guzels Mason! But Mason breaks free! Roddy helps Cassidy dodge Mason, and Kyle DUMPS Mason out! Cassidy winds up and he ROCKS Mansoor! Then he guzels to SUPER CHOKE SLAM Mansoor onto Mason! Johnny is back, but Kyle KNEES! Then AX ‘N’ SMASH! Cassidy aims, but he has them bring Johnny closer. LAZY ELBOW! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Anna Jay!
Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata, and Kamille all tried and failed to take this title from the Babe with the Power, giving rise to the new nickname, “The Comeback Killer.” But will that still be true against The Queen Slayer? Or will Anna truly become the Star of the Show?

Anna runs up, Willow dodges, and Willow LARIATS again and again and again! Then short arm LARIAT! The fans cheer as Willow runs, but Anna avoids the senton! Willow hobbles up, Anna runs to ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but goes to a corner. Anna storms up to stomp a mudhole into Willow, but stops as the ref counts.

Anna sure put up a fight, but Willow is 4-0 as the Comeback Killer! Willow helps Anna to her feet to show there is respect here, and they also hug it out. But will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve been up to, dethrone the Face of TBS?
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?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?
Moxley joins commentary for this match, and he admits that 10 Man Tag was a tornado of a match, where you just hang out, pray, and trust your skills to see you through.

Yuta gets a cheap shot in while the ref holds Juice back. Garcia bumps Ace off buckles, but the ref backs him off. That lets Yuta DUMP Ace out, and Marina is again there to cause problems! Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together! Then they DOUBLE SHOTGUN Ace down! Marina & Moxley love it but they’re the only ones. Garcia reels Ace into a PERUVIAN NECKTIE! The fans boo, but Juice rises up.

Juice LARIATS Garcia back out, then ELBOWS Yuta down! SENTON!
The fans fire up for Juice, and he CROSSBODIES Garcia down! Juice talks trash on Moxley, but Garica throat chops him! Moxley says keep your eye on the ball. Yuta DIVES, but Juice uses Garcia as a shield! the fans cheer the friendly fire, and Jucie SMACKS Yuta off the desk! Yuta is busted right open! Juice fires up, the fans pump it up with him, and Juice JABS! JABS! JABS! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Garcia gets up, but he gets the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Yuta runs up, but Juice JABS, JABS, JABS! Marina gets up, and Juice thinks about it. But Yuta rolls Juice up! TWO and Yuta bumps into Marina! The fans cheer as Juice then O’Conner Rolls, TWO!

Garcia BOOTS Ace, then DUMPS him out! Juice whips Yuta, but Yuta sunset flips! Rewind into Garcia’s PILEDRIVER!! Yuta goes up, Garcia positions Juice just right, FASTBALL SPECIAL!! Cover, TWO!!

Winners: Ace Austin & Juice Robinson, by pinfall
Moxley is honestly stunned, but he admits that was good stuff. Saturday nights are alright for a fight, and Garcia CLOBBERS Juice! Yuta LOW BLOWS Ace! The Death Riders are sore losers, Moxley says you don’t go calling him out and get away with it. Garcia CHOKES Juice, Yuta stomps Ace, but “GUNNS UP!” YES, Austin & Colten Gunn are both back! And they rush in to CLOBBER the Death Riders! They fire off on Moxley, but Yuta 7 Garcia come back for more! The Gunns DECK those two, then wait on Moxley! But Marina saves The Maniac from a 3:10 to Yuma! Yuta runs in, he gets the 3:10 TO YUMA!!
The fans fire up as The Bang Bang Gang is now four men strong! Colten gets a mic to shout, “The Collision Cowboys are back, baby! This is OUR show! And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
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?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?
The bell rings and Skye just BOOTS Nixi down! Then she scuffs Nixi, talks trash on her, and pie faces her around. Skye TOSSES Nixi out, then runs up, only for Nixi to BOOT her back! Skye ROCKS Nixi, then runs up again, to BOOGT WASH her to the floor! Skye scowls as she stalks Nixi on the outside, and she brings Nixi up to SMACK her off steel steps!

Nixi slowly rises so Skye revels in the cheers a little more. Nixi ROCKS Skye, but Skye ROCKS her back! They brawl up top, but Skye slips under to tuck Nixi in! CHEEKY NANDOS! Then Skye gets under Nixi for a RUNNING POWERBOMB! Flip over and KNEE!! Cover, but Skye lets up! The fans re torn, but Skye shouts out Julia Hart with the dragon sleeper! She drops down, DESCENT INTO MADNESS! Nixi TAPS, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by submission
Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off. Knight asks Shibata if he taught Hook that trick. Shibata ignores Knight, but Knight and Hook tie up again. Hook headlocks, wrenches, then wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to snapmare. Knight drops a KNEE on the arm! Hook scrambles away but Knight calls to Shibata, saying he knows Shibata knows these tricks.

The ref counts as the two keep going around and around, then they return to center. Hook waistlocks, Knight switches, but Hook switches back. Knight wrenches, hammerlocks, and the fans rally.

Knight arm-drags Hook, then arm-drags again, but Hook avoids the dropkick! The fans boo as Hook scrambles to the corner.
Knight taunts Hook & Shibata, but Shibata coaches Hook up. Hook kicks low, ROCKS Knight, then fires body shots and backhands in the corner! Knight turns things around to return the body shots and forearms! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, but Hook avoids the haymaker! Hook fires more body shots, then a HEADBUTT! Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring. Hook argues with the ref more, but that lets Shibata line up a shot! Shibata BOOTS Knight into the crowd! The fans cheer again, they don’t mind Collision being interactive.

Knight fights around, reaches out, then fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally. Knight fires shots, Hook shoves, but Knight returns! STAELLITE- NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Knight survives and Hook is furious!

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

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.

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!

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 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 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!

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.

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!

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?

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
