PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
“It is great to be home in Jacksonville! It is great to be your Homecoming Title Tuesday! And fans, as you know, coming up in one week from Saturday at WrestleDream, on PPV and HBO Max, from St. Louis, the world title will be decided. And tonight, to start our Title Tuesday, we are going to have a face-to-face with the combatants. First of all, here is the champion of the world, hangman Adam Page!” Jacksonville fires up as The Cowboy makes his way to the ring, belt around the waist. Hangman nods, then steps into the ring. He shakes Schiavone’s hand, then Schiavone says what a battle it will be a week from Saturday.
And now, the challenger, the former world champion, Samoa Joe! The fans fire up again as The Opps all make their way out here, Joe in a very nice suit. Joe lets Will Hobbs hold onto his AEW World Trios Championship belt, then shakes Hobbs’ and Shibata’s hands before joining Schiavone and Hangman in the ring. Schiavone thanks them both for being here and to accepting the No Physicality Agreement. A week from Saturday is the big night, but for now, the floor is Hangman’s. Hangman picks up a mic to say, “There have been six years of AEW Dynamite all across the country, internationally, and for a long, long time, here in Daily’s Place.”
The fans cheer, and Hangman continues, “And in those six years, I have won, I have lost, I have committed arson, I have dressed as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and one time I think I might have been proposed to. But last week, I have never been as confused as I was last week, Joe, when you lost your composure with me. I volunteered, I volunteered, to team with you and Will Hobbs to fight the Death Riders, a fight that I had finished a long time ago. And when I won our team the match, you lost it. You absolutely lost it! Confused! Joe, you kicked, you screamed, and when security came down, you reached across and sucker punched me in the face.”
The fans boo those facts, and Hangman says, “Damn, I’m confused. But I wasn’t confused for long, because you looked me in the eye, and you yelled at me, ‘You never beat me!’ Ah, there it is. That’s what this is about. You stood across the ring from me, you saw me with the world championship, the championship that you once held, and a championship that we can both agree means more than anything in this entire sport. You know it and I know it. You saw me with it, and you decided in an instant that you wanted it. Joe, you have been angry for a long time, but not with me, and not even with the Death Riders.
“Joe, you have been angry with yourself, distracted from what’s important in professional wrestling. So Joe, you will get your chance at WrestleDream, but let me tell you this. I did not ask for you to have this opportunity because you kicked and screamed. I did not ask for you to have this opportunity because you sucker punched me in the face. Joe, I asked for you to have this chance because I owe you. I owe you. At All In, you, The Opps, have a dozen other people, you stepped in, you put your bodies and your health on the line to make sure that the fight between me and Jon Moxley for this championship, for the first time, would be a fair one. I appreciate that, I respect that, and I owe you for it.”
The fans applaud, and Hangman tells Joe that he understands that without that help, Hangman would never have won this title, no one could have. But the repayment for that gratitude stops there. At WrestleDream, Joe will have his chance to win the championship. But Joe, Hangman will not just let Joe take it from him. The fans cheer that! Joe now takes his turn, and the fans rally up with “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Joe says, “Ladies and gentlemen, everything this man has said is absolutely true. But since we’re here talking about uncomfortable truths, allow me to share a few of my own. Because you see, when I stare across the ring, my problem isn’t with the fact that you’re the champion.
“No, it’s that when I look at you, I don’t see the pinnacle of professional wrestling, I see a pretender.” The fans boo that, but Joe continues, “Because you’re right! The truth is, you wouldn’t be AEW World Champion without the timely intervention of The Opps, I’m sure of that. The truth is, you come out here, week after week, and nobody’s had your back but us, and if we didn’t, you would not be the man right now. And y’know what? You say this is sudden and unexpected? No, I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner. Because you’re right, I’d forgotten who I was.
“I was so blood-lusted with going after the Death Riders, I forgot that the prime target is the man that calls himself the champion. And you, my friend, are no champion.” The fans boo again but Joe says he’s on to Hangman! He doesn’t buy the “Fighting Champion” hustle! “Hey, young man, here’s an opportunity of a life time! Now you’ve got ten minutes to get ready for it.” It’s the oldest hustle in the book, and Joe gets it, that pads Hangman’s stats. Then Hangman’s coming out here with fake gratitude, talking about how he owes them? NO! Joe provided the opportunity, and he’s just coming to collect on what is owed.
The fans are torn here, but Joe continues: the most uncomfortable truth of all is that what’s standing in front of Joe right now is fraud, and Joe is coming to check him. So when they’re standing across the ring from each other, Joe will explain what is actually going to happen: he is going to beat, break, and torture Hangman! Hangman will get his licks in, he will fight back, he will give his best effort. But at some penultimate moment, Hangman will have his moment to be the man that he says he is, a real champion! And in that moment, Joe will choke Hangman unconscious and take the belt. And Hangman will wake up with the gift of truth: Joe showed Hangman who he really is, and Hangman will know his place in this world, a world with a rightful champion!
The fans cheer and Hangman paces. Hangman’s rebuttal: HE is the fraud? HE is the pretender? HE is not a world champion? Why is he always having to explain to tough guys like Joe that the proof of who Hangman is does not stand in their opinions of him? It stands when the bell rings! The fans cheer that, too! Joe is right, because with a bad neck and mangled head, Joe will beat Hangman’s ass for a good while. But for every shot Joe gives him, Hangman will give two back. And if Joe locks Hangman in that choke, Hangman will not tap again. Every second that ticks by in their match, the advantage will be in Hangman’s favor. Because Joe cannot outlast Hangman!
The fans cheer, Joe scowls, but Hangman says when the match is over and the final bell has rung, and Joe’s flat on his back, having been beat as fairly as possible, Hangman hopes Joe brings that same energy he brought to All In. he really does. He wants Joe to bring that love for professional wrestling! The love for the sanctity of this sport and this title! He hopes Joe can stand up, shake his hand, look him in the eye, and know that he IS the champion of the world! The fans are all fired up for that one! But the debate is now over, who will win the fight in St. Louis?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Alicia Atout is with Tomohiro Ishii, Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong to bring up the big night ahead of them tonight. Three huge matches- The Sussex County Chicken apologizes to Alicia as he interrupts, but he has it from here: Ladies and gentlemen, the word of the day is multifacetfication! Because tonight, The Conglomeration has a big night, baby! But not just tonight, but this whole week! Because on Collision: Homecoming, their girl, Willow Nightingale, teaming with Conglomeration-adjacent warriors, #JetSpeed, and there’s no doubt they will get the job done!
Here tonight in Jacksonville, it’s Kyle VS Kyle 2! Kyle is gonna whoop Kyle’s ass because Kyle whooped their guy, Hologram! And that will not go unpunished! THIS Kyle says that is right! We all know he DESPISES any other Kyle! So for the fans in attendance, cheer for this Kyle because if he hears one “Let’s Go, Kyle!” chant, Kyle is gonna lose it. Roddy says, “KYYYYLE~! Bring that title home.” Briscoe says not only that, but the Godfather of the Conglomeration, Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy is freshly back, and he will continue one of the oldest feuds in AEW as he takes on The Bastard, Pac, and will give him the beatdown he so rightfully deserves! Of that, Briscoe has no doubt!
And also, before all that, main man #BigTom, Tomohiro Ishii, takes on Jon Moxley, and that guaranteed to be a slobberknocker! Ishii is dropping bombs, time for the big win! Is he ready to do this? Ishii nods, but then Cassidy says wait. Hands in. Everyone else joins in, even Alicia, but Roddy is reluctant. Cooooonglomeration~! Time to go! We gettin’ down, baby! RAH RAH RAH~! Cassidy nods and says that was a lot, huh? Alicia says just a bit. Cassidy heads out now, but will tonight be all Conglomeration from top to bottom? Or will The Maniac have something to say about that?
Jon Moxley w/ Marina Shafir VS Tomohiro Ishii!

Backstage interview with The Young Bucks.
Well, Renee Paquette wants a word with Matt & Nick, but they’re busy knocking on Tony Khan’s door. Renee asks what is going on. Nick says he needs one of those big money matches, he’s desperate. Renee says yes, they’re very hard up for cash, but shouldn’t they worry more about Jurassic Express? Jack Perry & Luchasaurus punked The Bucks out twice, and are in action tonight. Matt says haha, so funny. But yes, they know Jurassic Express is in action tonight. But guess what? The Bucks have two tickets to that match live later tonight. Nick asks how Matt afforded that. Matt says he had to “let go” of a few of their sneakers…
But that’s not the point. They just need to talk with Tony. Nick continues to bang on the door, and he even tells TK, “I need money, and I need it now!” Matt sighs, but will The Bucks get what they want? Or just what they deserve?
Six Man Street Fight: The Hurt Syndicate VS The Demand!
Montel Vontavious Porter owned up to being the weak link in the team for that All Out showdown, but now he’s upping the ante!

Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
And by that, we mean Renee Paquette is with the entire Don Callis Family: Hechicero, Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, Lance Archer, Konosuke Takeshita, Rocky Romero, Josh Alexander, newest member in CLØN, and of course, The Jackal himself. Renee says they’re very busy for Title Tuesday as well as Collision: Homecoming. How does Don Callis strategize for this many members? Don says it’s simple: They’re just smarter and better than everyone else, so there’s no need to talk strategy. From each according to their ability, to DON according to Don’s needs, and what he needs is for Walking Weapon on Collision to destroy and dismantle Kota Ibushi!
Then let’s focus on tonight. We have Kyle VS Kyle 2, how is that gonna go down? Callis says O’Reilly is an irritant! O’Reilly is such a fan, a such mark, for Fletcher that he named himself after Fletcher! Uh, okay… Then let’s talk Double Jeopardy. If Brodido gets the win, one of them gets their shot at Okada’s Unified Championship. Callis says yes, that is technically true, but it’ll never happen. Wanna know why? Tell ’em, Rock! Romero says, “Well, El Jefe, last Friday night in Arena Mexico, Hechicero ripped Bandido’s shoulder out of the socket! You’re looking at the uncrowned ROH World Champion right now.”
Callis says Okada & Takeshita will work together under the banner of the family like a well-oiled machine! And after they defeat Brodido, Okada & Takeshita will roll into WrestleDream to win those AEW World Tag Team Championships. Then the Don Callis Family will once again have all the gold. Renee wishes them all luck, but which way will things go when Rainmaker & Alpha battle The King of Death & The Outlaw?
Jurassic Express VS Danny Orion & KM!
For the first time in 1200 DAYS, “Jungle” Jack Perry and Luchasaurus are teaming together in the ring! They reunited because they needed each other to get even with The Young Bucks, but will our former AEW World Tag Team Champions make quick work of
The teams sort out, Jack starts against Orion and the two tie up. Jack puts Orion in a corner to CHOP! Then he whips, but Orion reverses. Jack goes up and over, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then RANAS!

Jack LARIATS, then feeds Orion to Luchasaurus’ LAIRAT! Luchasaurus revels in being able to use HIS name again. Luchasaurus suplexes, and he holds Orion up to just SLAM him down! The fans fire up and Luchasaurus drags Orion up.
Orion fires body shots, but Luchasaurus shoves and ROUNDHOUSES him! Luchasaurus then laces Orion into the ropes and CHOPS! The fans rally, Luchasaurus CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jack has the ref distarcted talking about crossbar coverings! And then a fan sends him a beachball! Jack catches it, passes it to Luchasaurus, and Luchasaurus tags Jack in.

The fans fire up and Jack has Luchasaurus get Orion back up.
Luchasaurus and Jack coordinate, the fans fire up, JURASSIC BOMB!! Cover, Jurassic Express wins!

The Bucks have seen enough, and they leave before the fans start waving their hands. And then they storm the ring! The fans boo as Nick & Matt drag Jack out of the ring, to THROW him into railing! Luchasaurus grabs Matt, then he catches Nick outta the sky! But they DOUBLE LOW BLOW! The fans boo but Nick talks trash on Luchasaurus. Then The Bucks hit B T E TRIGGER!! Jack is back but he gets hit with a DOUBLE SUPERKICK! The fans boo but The Bucks just soak it up. Matt then grabs a mic, hands it to Nick, and Nick tells Jack, “In the professional wrestling business, we call this a callback! MICROPHONE BODY BLOW!
Nick says at WrestleDream, it will be Jurassic Express VS The Young Bucks! Then they get Jack up, and Nick climbs, for a MELTZER DRIVER!! The Bucks soak up more heat as the fans tell them off, but will it only get worse at WrestleDream?
The Death Riders speak.
“Yuta! Pac! Get ’em!” The Bastard says, “Oi yoi yoi yoi yoi, Tangerine Balls! I bet you think this is personal, don’t ya? But I promise ya, it’s not, The Bastard is back, and I’m just looking for a little snack to get going. A little pipsqueak to whet my appetite. So tonight, I am going to do to you what I always do to you: I am going to outwrestle you, I am going to outpace you, and more importantly, I am going to make you suffer. And then, it’ll be onwards and upwards, because the Death Riders, we have ambition that far outweighs the likes of you. Tell ’em, Yuta.”
The Decoder says he and Cassidy used to be tight, which is why it’ll hurt him… almost as much as it hurts Cassidy. But if The Death Riders are to elevate AEW to the level we know it can reach, then they gotta trim the fat, cut the s*it, and separate the winners from the losers. Daniel Garcia joins in by saying, “It’s not about wins and losses, it’s not about getting your shoulders pinned to the canvas, it’s about mentality. And every day, I walk around and I see a lot of losers. But a winner is a choice. You gotta wake up every day and you gotta wanna win. We wake up every day, and we want to win. And that’s what we’re gonna do, we’re just gonna keep winning.
“We’re gonna win tonight, we’re gonna win next week, the week after that, we’re gonna keep winning. Because that’s what winners do>” The Death Riders head out, but will they complete that mission?
AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis & Lance Archer VS Kyle O’Reilly!
The fans are already chanting, “We Want Kyle!” “Kyle Sucks!” but no matter how you slice it, this one is going to light it up! But will the Aussie Arrow strike down The Violent Artist once again? Or will Kyle O’Reilly be the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and the fight for Kyle supremacy begins again!

AEW returns with another backstage interview with the Don Callis Family.
Renee catches Fletcher, Callis & Archer as they return from ringside, and Renee asks that with the dominant victory over O’Reilly, why did Fletcher back down from Briscoe?

BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: WrestleDream will see Fletcher VS Briscoe for the TNT Championship! Callis whispers things to Fletcher, and the family heads out.

Sammy Guevara & The Beast Mortos speak.
Sammy hushes us, because “Everybody’s Favorite Pillar is about to talk.” Sammy tells Eddie Kingston that he didn’t win against Dralistico! He merely survived! But this week on Collision, it’ll be a different story. Eddie is not going against just a man, he is going up against LFI’s BEAST MORTOS! Mortos nods and growls, looking very stylish in polo and sunglasses. Sammy tells Eddie to say his prayers, say goodbye to his family, tell them he loves them, because after he fights Mortos, it’ll be adios! And that is Spanish for, “Goodbye!” Mortos roars, but will he bulldoze The Mad King?
Eddie Kingston & Hook respond.
The Mad King is already getting a headache, and Eddie says Sammy, another week of him talking trash. “Dralistico, I beat his ass because of you, Sammy. Now, Beast, again, again, stop letting Sammy talk for you, cuz he’s gonna get your ass kicked. See you on Collision, dawg.” Will The Mad King become the Homecoming King after making it through the monstrous minotaur?
AEW Double Jeopardy Tag Match: #Brodido VS Konosuke Takeshita & Kazuchika Okada!
As Don Callis and the family informed us, Bandido & Brody King are already at a disadvantage after the damage done by Hechicero just last Friday in Arena Mexico. The Most Wanted escaped the Wizard again, but will he and The King of Death get caught by The Alpha & The Rainmaker? Or will someone be facing Okada for that Unified Championship?
There’s already tension between Okada and Takeshita, and Okada doesn’t help by having his entrance step all over Takeshita’s. But Callis trusts his breadwinners will do just fine. The teams sort out, and Takeshita starts against Bandido. A risky move, but the two circle. They tie up, Bandido wrenches and wristlocks, but Konosuke wrenches through.

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale & #JetSpeed.
Renee is with The Babe with the Power, as well as Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey, and she brings up their Mixed Six Tag match for Collision, them against FTR & Megan Bayne. How did they get here? Bailey says, “It blows my mind that people have the audacity to call themselves the greatest tag team of all time, yet step in the ring, grab a microphone, and make excuses for their horrible actions. That’s why JetSpeed will always respect people like Willow Nightingale. People who have the courage to stand up to bullies. Because what happens when you stand up to bullies? They fall. And they all saw it last week!”
Knight says we all saw it when Dax was looking up at The Jet. Top Guys? Not sure they’re on top, because each week, they take the low road, the easy way out. Willow says pause on that for a second, because she wants to bring up the “surprise” they had for her. But really, it was more like surprises plural. Megan Bayne AND Penelope Ford! Doesn’t matter, though, because when the bell rings, it is 3v3. And it doesn’t matter if Ford is ringside or that little dweeb, what’s his name? The gnome? Strokely! But make sure go to Baby Gap and get a fresh tracksuit, because they’re ready for whoever, whenever. Top Guys DOWN! Babe with the JetSpeed UP!
FTR responds.
Title Tuesday returns as Stokely says they heard from JetSpeed just now, and blah blah blah. He will say that he does respect JetSpeed just a smidge, because they are willing to step into the ring with one of the greatest tag teams- No, actually, THE greatest tag team alive today, F T R. But there’s one person Stoke does not respect, and that is Willow Nightingale. Everyone knows that last week on Collision, Dax would’ve beat Kevin Knight if not for Willow! Everyone wants to laugh and joke about “Stokely gets no hoes,” but guess what? You don’t need hoes when you’ve got two bad b*tches who had Willow just as match as Stokely does!
Speaking of, Megan & Penelope step into frame, and The Superbad Girl says, “Look at us. We bring beauty and strength personified.” The Megasus says, “Balance is what I bring. You think that smiles and positivity make you some kind of hero, Willow? Let this be your reality check: Any universe where I walk, you don’t stand a chance.” Stoke says JetSpeed doesn’t stand a chance, either! So Saturday, Homecoming, FTR & Megan will put every single one of you in your place! Top Gu- Megan stops Stokely there, and says, Top Gods Out. Stokely nods, but will this strange alliance make all others #BowDown?
Backstage interview with Brodido.
Renee is with the AEW World Tag Team Champions as they return from ringside, and notes it didn’t go their way tonight. Bandido was obviously not 100%. Bandido says yes, but he won’t make excuses or to apologize. But things happen, and that loss was on him. Brody says no, Bandido is always the one that says to never stop fighting. That’s what they’re gonna do! They’ve been through harder, and at WrestleDream, it doesn’t matter if it is two incredible singles wrestlers on one team, because Bandido is THE best pro-wrestling walking this Earth right now! Brodido will leave St. Louis STILL AEW World Tag Team Champions!
Brody is confident even in defeat, but is the bad arm putting doubt in Bandido’s mind?
Orange Cassidy VS PAC!
This main event is a rematch that has been a long time coming, and it returns to where it all began! And if The Bastard is to be believed, he promised no one else will show up ringside, it will truly be 1v1. If that’s the case, who proves they are truly the better man?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two stare down. Cassidy and Pac slowly circle, then step up. Cassidy raises his hands, but Pac blocks them from reaching his pockets! But Cassidy wrenches Pac, spins him around, cording hold then wrench again for a wristlock. Pac wrenches back, Cassidy wrenches again, but Pac rolls, rolls, and handsprings to then slip through and lift Cassidy! BACKDROP! Pac paces while Cassidy goes to a corner. The fans rally, Cassidy steps back up, and he “unleashes” the kicks! Pac rolls to pick a leg! Then a float to a headlock! Cassidy powers up, headlocks in return, but Pac powers out to RUN Cassidy over!
Pac headlocks, hits a takeover, and he grinds Cassidy down. The fans rally as Cassidy endures, and Cassidy tries to headscissor. Pac shrugs it off again and again, but Cassidy rolls to a cover, ONE! Pac holds on but Cassidy finally headscissors. Pac endures, moves around, and he hops around to handspring through! Pac headlocks Cassidy again but Cassidy fights up.

Pac hammerlocks, Cassidy sits down, and Cassidy rolls to… Well, he’s teetering back and forth, and then he kips up! Cassidy wrenches, wristlocks, but Pac rolls again. Pac slips through to wrench and hammerlock, but Cassidy cravats in return. FLYING-MARE! Both men stand, things speed up, and Cassidy arm-drags! Cassidy runs up, Pac dodges, Cassidy goes up and out! He SMACKS Pac off buckles, SMACKS him off more buckles, but Pac stops the third! But Cassidy stops the receipt to SMACK Pac off buckles! Cassidy goes up, up, and FLYING LARIATS! The fans fire up while Pac tumbles out of the ring.
Cassidy locks on, builds speed, and DIVES, but into Pac’s arms! Pac powers up to suplex and FALCON ARROW on the floor! Cassidy writhes, the fans fire up, and Pac snarls as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Pac stands, and he watches Cassidy sputter. Pac refreshes the ring count, then he drags Cassidy up to put him in the ring. Pac ELBOWS Cassidy on the neck then he hushes the fans. Cassidy clutches his neck while Pac taunts fans. The fans flip Pac off but he ignores that to DRIVE-BY DROPKICK Cassidy! Cassidy flops off the apron, Pac refreshes the ring count again, then Pac stalks Cassidy. Pac stomps Cassidy and Cassidy writhes more. Pac drags Cassidy around to whip, but Cassidy reverses! Pac is sent into the wall! Then Cassidy whips Pac again, only for Pac to reverse! Cassidy is sent over the timekeeper’s desk, and he hits the railing right behind it!
Pac leaves Cassidy behind to check his own head, and the doc has to check Cassidy. Cassidy is somehow still in this, so Pac drags the table out of the way. Pac drags Cassidy up, brings him around the way, and puts him in the ring. Pac then scoops Cassidy to SLAM him! Pac goes to the corner, climbs up, and he flips off fans just so they’ll boo. Pac soaks that up, and he DIVING LEG DROPS! Cassidy sputters, Pac climbs back up the corner, and he watches Cassidy rise. Dynamite returns to single picture and Cassidy turns around, into the MISSILE DROPKICK! Cassidy flounders and Pac kips up! The fans are torn while Pac watches Cassidy writhe.
Pac taunts Cassidy, “Is this all you got?” The fans rally, Pac taunts Cassidy, but Cassidy “chops” Pac! And “chops,” but then Pac BOOTS him! Cassidy gets mad now! The fans fire up as Cassidy rises, and he “fires” more chops! Pac brings the straps down to dare Cassidy to try that again. Cassidy ROCKS Pac! Pac ROCKS Cassidy! They go back and forth, harder and harder, and the fans rally behind Cassidy! Cassidy ROCKS Pac and Pac drops to a knee! The fans fire up for that, and Cassidy runs, but into a BOOT! Pac runs, but into a BOOT from Cassidy! Cassidy runs, Pac dodges, but then Cassidy dodges! DOUBLE FOREARMS hit!

Pac is in shock! His hubris costs him, but give the assist to Darby! And speaking of, Darby is now ringside, backpack in hand. The fans fire up as Darby has his eyes locked right on Pac. Darby eggs Pac on, so Pac pursues! They end up by commentary, and Darby PEPPER SPRAYS Pac! The fans fire up, even commentary is in trouble from the mist blowing around, and Darby has to be careful not to get some blowback! Yuta runs up, but Darby TOSSES him over the desk! Darby grabs his backpack, hurries off the stage and through the crowd! HE HAS A STUN GUN!! Daniel Garcia & Claudio Castagnoli freeze in their tracks! Claudio tries to use Garcia as a shield!
Darby gets away into the night, and the Death Riders are furious! They now have to keep Moxley back so that he doesn’t risk getting hurt before WrestleDream! DRABY HAS A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL!? The fans are going nuts, but then security TACKLES Darby to stop him from going too far! It’s one thing for these two to have an I Quit Match, but could someone commit nothing short of manslaughter in St. Louis?!
My Thoughts:
Another great Dynamite as part of Homecoming Week. AEW: Where the Best Wrestler, but DAMN do they also love to talk! Did Renee really need to interview everyone every time? It’s nice to get everyone’s reactions to things, but c’mon. Though I suppose they had to reach 2.5 hours so why not just shove everything you can into the show. We got a good promo from Willow & JetSpeed, and a good response from FTR, Megan & Penelope. The Mixed Six could go either way, and as I said last week, it’ll surely lead to separate matches like FTR VS JetSpeed and Willow VS Megan.
Good promo from Don Callis Family, though it was obviously more Callis and Fletcher. The Conglomeration’s promo with Alicia was better, mostly because they played up the comedy of Kyle VS Kyle. Awesome match from the Kyles, but I figured Fletcher would win out. Very good brawl after, and naturally, this led back to Fletcher VS Briscoe for the title at WrestleDream. At this point, it feels like Fletcher just wins again, but then that’d be a real shame for Briscoe, he deserves to have something after all the great work he’s put in. Lacey Lane was a great choice for Mone’s opponent tonight, great match, but of course Mone won. New historical streak achieved, but again, they’re obviously steering this Money Train towards at least ten titles.
Awesome tag match from Brodido VS Okada & Takeshita, Okada & Takeshita winning made the most sense really. There’s a very good chance Konosuke ditches Okada so that Brodido retains, and then we can bridge into Okada VS Konosuke for Full Gear. Hilarious stuff with “The Broke Bucks,” and while Jurassic Express of course won their match, I appreciate they were able to have a bit of fun with it, including those “Jungle Life” beach balls going around. The Bucks getting the jump on Jurassic Express and then standing tall, they’re definitely not winning the tag match, even if there’s a big money jackpot attached.
Great opening promo from Hangman and Samoa Joe, it added a lot of fire to this feud. I would think Hangman finds a way to win against Joe, but that match is still going to be great. Very good Six Man Street Fight, and great win for The Hurt Syndicate. Though, they really should set up some third Six Man Tag, like an Elimination Tag or a cage match, something as the blowoff to then send the winners to the Trios Championships. And great stuff with The Death Riders and the rest of Conglomeration. Great match from Moxley VS Ishii, and an awesome match from Pac VS Cassidy. Pac is JACKED, and the new gear looks good.
Great stuff with Darby helping Cassidy, and then how wild for Darby to have pepper spray, a stun gun and a Molotov cocktail. The spray might’ve been a bit reckless cuz I could tell Darby did get some of it back in his face. I feel like AEW should step in and say this isn’t just I Quit, but like Lights Out/Unsanctioned I Quit, because they don’t wanna be liable for whatever else Darby thinks up. Moxley VS Darby may not be the main event but it might steal the show for just how insane it’ll get.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW sends thoughts and prayers to Rebel.
As reported and posted on social media, Tanea Brooks, aka Rebel, was diagnosed with a terminal case of ALS. AEW wants her to know that she is more than just a friend and coworker but part of their family, and certainly we here at The Chairshot also wish nothing but the best for her during such a trying time.

Kris gets mad and shoves Shida to the wall! Kris says of course it wasn’t her fault! It was Shida, because Shida didn’t listen, kicked Kris in the stomach for that suplex, and then kept tagging in! Shida apologizes but Kris says that’s enough out of her!

Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong are still the AEW World Trios Champions after facing yet another Don Callis Family formation, but now they’re preparing for Dynamite Double Jeopardy on Wednesday. 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!

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.

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?

Garcia stomps Ace, Marina joins in, and the fans boo again. Moxley says this is just the art of tag team wrestling. Garcia puts Ace in for Yuta, Yuta covers, ONE!! Ace toughs it out but Yuta brings him up by his hair. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Yuta clamps onto Ace’s hair! The fans boo but Yuta soaks up the heat. Tag to Garcia, Garcia brings Ace up and bumps him off buckles, then Collision goes picture in picture.
Garcia climbs up, he rains down fists, stops at nine and puts up his dukes. But no dancing here, he just hops down to bump Ace off buckles. Garcia scoops and SLAMS Ace, then tags Yuta. Yuta climbs up to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that, but Yuta clamps on with a chinlock. Ace reaches out but Yuta clamps on a straitjacket. Yuta grinds his forearm into Ace, but Ace fights up to fire body shots. Yuta ripcords Ace to ELBOW him down! Tag to Garcia, they stomp away, but the ref reprimands. Yuta stops at 4, but Garcia stands on Ace at the ropes! Garcia stomps away, stops at 4, then taunts Juice.
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. Ace reaches out, pries free, and has the ROPEBREAK! Garcia drags Ace back up but Ace fires body shots!

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!
Juice staggers, comes back, and LEG LARIATS Yuta down! Cover, Garcia breaks it in time! The fans boo but Ace is in! Ace ROCKS Garcia, KNEES, KICKS, and runs up in the corner! 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!! Moxley is frustrated for his guys, and Yuta snarls through his crimson mask! Yuta aims, BUSAI- NO, Juice ducks the knee! But Garcia SHOTGUNS! But Ace FLYING CHUCKS! Yuta wrenches Ace, RIGHT ANGLE SLAM!
Yuta fires up, he brings Juice around, but Juice hits the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Then the JUICE BOX!! Cover, BANG BANG GANG WINS!
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. Knight does squats like back in the dojo, and the two tie up again. Knight powers Hook back, Hook turns things around, and they go along ropes.
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. Hook reaches back to hit the SAYANAGI! Hook runs but Knight stays low. Knight hurdles, then HIP TOSSES, but Hook handsprings through!

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. Shibata puts Knight in for Hook to cover, TWO!
Hook is frustrated but Shibata coaches him up. Hook drags Shibata up, but Knight fires body shots! Knight ROCKS Hook, shakes out his hand then runs, only for Hook to follow! Hook CLOBBERS Knight, covers, TWO! Shibata argues the count but no, it was fair. Hook clamps onto Knight with a SLEEPER! Knight endures, even as Hook leans on him. 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!
Hook hauls Knight up, fires body shots, then ROCKS Knight. Hook whips corner to corner, but Knight comes back to LARIAT! The fans fire up as Knight keeps going, SHOULDER TACKLE! Knight whips, Hook reverses, but Knight goes up and over! Knight comes back, LEAPING LARIAT! Hook sputters away but Knight kips up! The fans fire up and Knight runs up to scoop and SLAM! The fans cheer as Knight says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Hook survives but the fans still rally behind Knight. Shibata coaches Hook and Hook rises up. Knight also stands, and Knight runs up, SATELLITE- NO, Hook powers free!
Hook goes to a corner, Knight runs up and blocks a boot! Knight ROCKS Hook, hoists him up top, but Hook kicks Knight away. Knight returns to the UPPER ROOM! Hook goes tumbling away to the far corner! Shibata is worried but Knight grins. Knight says this is for Shibata-sensei! HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans cheer Knight using Shibata’s signature, and that just pisses Shibata off! Knight puts Hook in the drop zone but Hook grabs at the ref. Knight climbs up, but Shibata shakes the ropes! The fans boo as that trips Knight up! Knight is stuck on his cockpit, but Hook goes up after him! Hook clinches but Knight fires body shots!
Knight SHOVES Hook away, climbs back up, but Hook is right on him for a SUPER DUPER BELLY2BELLY!! Knight flounders, Hook runs up, LARIAT! TAZ PLEX! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives and we hit the ten minute halfway point! Knight PENALTY KICKS, another Shibata signature! Cover, TWO!! Another cover, TWO!! Knight survives and Shibata is frustrated!

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

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

Knight drags MJF around, then climbs the corner. The fans cheer as Knight aims, but MJF hurries out of the ring!
The fans boo but Knight hops down to PLANCHA! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up again! Knight puts MJF back in, but MJF hurries back out! The fans boo again, but Knight builds speed! Knight DIVES and down goes MJF yet again! The fans cheer as Knight gets MJF in the ring, but then MJF bails out another side. The fans boo but Knight shrugs and builds speed again. Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side. Knight runs up, MJF DUMPS Knight out, and then the HEAT- NO, Knight powers out! Knight springboards, MJF gets under, but Knight comes back and sunset flips! MJF flails to stay standing, but Knight brings him down to a cover! TWO and MJF sits on Knight, TWO as Knight sunset flips again! TWO and both men stand! SATELLITE denied into a CUTTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans cheer as both men are down again. Knight crawls away to a corner, MJF runs up, but Knight goes up and over. MJF ELBOWS Knight, goes up top, and calls his shot. But Knight BODY SHOTS first! Knight goes up to get MJF, but MJF resists. Knight CLUBS away on MJF, but MJF SHOVES Knight! Knight backflips, but he hobbles from the landing. MJF wobbles, Knight still goes to the UPPER ROOM! MJF is down but Knight clutches his knee. Knight fights through the pain to go to the apron. The fans rally behind Knight as he climbs again, MOTHERSHIP FLOP as MJF moves! MJF hobbles over to Knight, he grabs the leg!
MJF steps through, but Knight BOOTS him away! MJF hits buckles, Knight runs up, but Knight’s leg buckles! MJF SUPERKICKS Knight, then goes up for the LONG ISLAND SUNSRISE! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives the Sunrise and MJF is beside himself! The fans rally up again while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight and MJF stir, Knight still clutching the bad leg. The ref checks him but Knight says he can still go. Knight goes to the ropes, hobbles around, but MJF runs up to KICK the leg out! Knight flounders but MJF stalks him. MJF KICKS the leg out again! Knight flounders against the ropes before falling down. MJF drags Knight to center, talks trash about the leg, then turns Knight over for the HALF CRAB! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally and Knight endures! Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes. MJF is on the apron, Knight hobbles and runs up, but MJF blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW in the ropes! MJF is foaming at the mouth!

But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!

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 fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!?

Rocky talks a lot more trash on Cage, but Cope scares him off! The ref reprimands everyone, and Cope backs off while Trent stands Cage up. Trent whips Cage hard into railing! Trent then tags Rocky, and Rocky digs his boot into Cage’s bad arm against the railing! Rocky puts Cage in the ring, stomps the bad arm again, then drags Cage around. Tag to Trent, they double wrench to double BODY BLOW! Then they run to JUMP KNEE and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cage toughs it out but Trent slaps him around.

Cage rises, fires body shots, then runs the ropes, but into a kick! Trent hits an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage scrambles to ropes but Trent tags Rocky in. Rocky steps on Cage very much like Cage would, then steps off as the ref counts. Rocky argues with the ref and with Cope, letting Trent SMACK Cage in the distraction! Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!
Both men are down and the fans rally harder! Rocky crawls, hot tag to Trent! Trent BLASTS Cope, the fans boo, but Trent tags Rocky back in.

Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: The Divine Dominion VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO!

To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.

And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again!

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
