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!

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ishii and Moxley step up, go forehead to forehead, and they talk a bit of trash. The fans are strongly behind “I-SHI-I!” but Moxley fires a forearm!

Moxley flexes but Ishii keeps fighting! Ishii reaches, ROPEBREAK! Moxley claims he needs help, and the ref works to undo the hold. Dynamite returns to single picture as Moxley drags Ishii back, still in the FIGURE FOUR! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Moxley finally lets go.

Moxley “apologizes,” but he high-fives Marina again. Moxley waits on Ishii, then stomps the bad leg. And he stomps a hand! Moxley sits Ishii up, fishhooks Ishii’s nose, but stops as the ref counts. Moxley stalks Ishii to a corner, scuffs him and taunts him, but Ishii springs up! The fans fire up as Ishii leans into the forearms! He backs Moxley down, then ROCKS him! Moxley wobbles, Ishii reels him in, suplex high and hard! The fans fire up, Ishii rises with a bloody nose, then runs, only to get caught in a SLEEPER! Moxley holds on tight, but Ishii slips around to SAIDO! Moxley flounders to a corner and Marina is freaking out!

Ishii rises, runs up, but into a LARIAT! The fans boo as Moxley takes aim, storms up on Ishii, and then rains down fists!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission

The Maniac and the Stone Pitbull pushed each other, but even a sturdy man like Ishii needs to breathe. But how much more brutal will Moxley be to get that win from Darby at WrestleDream?

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! MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin aren’t going to wrestle Ricochet, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona, they’re just gonna FIGHT! Who will even be left standing at the end of tonight?

Right as Ricochet & GOA are ringside, they’re bringing out chairs and trash cans and whatever else they can find under the ring! The Hurt Syndicate make their entrance, nice suits and wrist tape on. The jackets and ties come off, both teams stare down, and the fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” They approach on the ramp, and The Demand runs up first!

Lashley fires elbows on Liona, then LARIATS him into the ring!

The fans fire up as Lashley then follows, only for Liona to SAMOAN DROP him onto the pile of chairs! Kaun ROCKS Shelton on the outside, and Liona BREAKS the kendo sticks across his own head just because! Then Liona runs up, only for Lashley to dodge! Liona hits buckles, then tumbles up and out! Shelton SMACKS Kaun off apron, then off railing, then off apron again! MVP stalks Ricochet into the ring, the fans rally up, and they want more from Shelton! Shelton obliges, then even Lashley sends Liona into railing! Ricochet ROCKS MVP, whips, but MVP blocks! Ricochet SLAPS MVP, the fans fire up, and MVP CHOKES Ricochet!

Ricochet LOW BLOWS MVP! Liona CLUBS MVP! Kaun joins in, GOA mugs MVP, but Lashley gets in there to attack! Same for Shelton, they beat GOA back down.

The Demand may have won at All Out, but Hurt Syndicate went all out to get their revenge! Will this be the end of their business with Ricochet? Or will we still need one more round to break the tie?

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! The fans fire up as Jack then DROPKICKS Orion down! Jack stands up to revel in the cheers, and wait, The Bucks are in the crowd to watch? Jack tags Luchasaurus and they whip Orion to a corner. 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. Luchasaurus SMACKS the ball tot he fans, he and Jack double whip Orion. They drop down, hurdle, then HIP TOSS! Luchasaurus BOOTS KM while Jack basement DROPKICKS Orion! 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!

Winners: Jurassic Express, by pinfall

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!

The bell rings, the fans chant for “KYLE! KYLE!” as they circle. Callis of course joins commentary, but Fletcher backs off a moment.

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? Fletcher asks what she’s implying. That he’s scared of Briscoe? Briscoe went out there to take advantage of Fletcher after his hard fought victory! We all know that on any given day, Fletcher has Briscoe’s number, he’s won twice before! Renee points out Briscoe also beat Fletcher twice before. 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. Will the fifth time be the charm for the Sussex County Chicken?

Mone’s first match at Daily’s Place is another victory, and that makes for 500 DAYS as TBS Champion! But will there ever come a time when someone derails The Money Train?

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 cravats, has the neck wrench, but he avoids Cassidy’s ax handle! Pac goes back to the cravat, Cassidy endures, and Cassidy snapmares to then have Pac’s arm. Cassidy wrenches, the fans rally, but Pac spins through to wrench and wristlock again.

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!

Cassidy roars, and he fires another forearm! Cassidy and Pac go shot for shot, the fans fire up, but Pac SOBATS! Cassidy SUPERKICKS! Cassidy runs, but Pac dodges, SNAP GERMAN!

Cassidy goes back into the ring, and he decides to climb up!? The fans fire up already as Cassidy reaches the top! Cassidy aims, and he puts his hands in his pockets! SUPER DUPER TRUST FALL through the table!!! The fans go nuts, Cassidy drags Pac up and into the ring! Cassidy runs and tilt-o-whirls, DDT!! And another kip up!! The fans are thunderous as the elbow pad comes off! Cassidy locks ‘n’ loads, ORANGE PUNCH!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!!

The fans are in shock as Pac survives by a literal foot! Cassidy is upset, but he goes back to the corner. Cassidy rises, but Pac slow rolls away! That’s a rather Cassidy-like move. Cassidy hops down as Pac makes it to the ramp. Cassidy storms out after Pac, and Pac goes to the crowd! The fans cheer as Cassidy pursues! They go up into the special on-stage bleachers! But then Pac ROCKS Cassidy! IT was a trap! Gut wrench and TOMBSTONE on the bleachers!!! The ref reprimands, but then Pac KICKS Cassidy down the stairs! The ref hurries to check on Cassidy, but then someone grabs Pac from the shadows! IT’S DARBY!! He’s cuffed Pac to the railing!!

The fans cheer as The Relentless One has trapped The Bastard! Cassidy is in the ring, Pac breaks free, and he hurries to catch up! But we’re already at 8 of 10! Pac hobbles and runs for it, to LEAP in at 9! VICTORY ROLL!! CASSIDY WINS!!!

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall

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
