Operation: Crown Jewel – The Royal Transfer
From Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the WWE Experience, the team of experts carefully place the Men’s & Women’s Crown Jewel Championships into their secure carrying cases, and then those cases into the SUVs, all with the white glove treatment. Then a private jet takes those cases 7,065 MILES to Perth, Australia. And from there, two more SUVs arrive at the arena, and the championships are prepped. Now they simply await the winners of tomorrow’s epic showdowns!
Cody Rhodes is here!
Perth fires up for the American Nightmare and they sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off, and Cody shows off his 2024 Crown Jewel Championship ring before he high-fives the front row along the ramp. Cody then goes to the corner for the second, “WHOA~ OH~!” and round of pyro. The fans then sing for “Cody, Cody Rhodes~!” as he gets the mic. Cody stands in front of the display case housing the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship, and he holds up the Undisputed WWE Championship to fire the fans up more. Cody then asks Perth, “Whaddya wanna talk about?” The fans cheer, and Cody says they could talk about Seth Rollins…
The fans boo that name, and Cody nods. Cody says Seth Rollins and his “Doom and gloom outlook” on the match that, according to Rollins, has something to do with the future of the industry. Cody poked fun at how Rollins talked about it, but after hearing Mr. Heyman… The fans boo again, and Cody says after hearing Heyman describe the actual stakes, Cody thought that maybe, just maybe, Seth is right. There’s so much to Rollins’ role now that mirrors his role at WrestleMania 40 when he helped Cody #FinishTheStory. Yet, it is Seth and not Roman that is becoming the type of man he sacrificed himself to defeat.
“Crown Jewel might be Seth Rollins’ Achilles Heel, I might be Seth Rollins’ Achilles Heel.” The fans cheer, and Cody says dismantling The Vision has now fallen on his shoulders. Lucky Cody. But Cody can’t blame Seth for falling into the trap. When you love the WWE, and Perth sounds like they love WWE, which the fans do cheer and sing, Cody says it sounds like they’re gonna have fun tonight. But when you love WWE like Seth loves it, you’ll do anything to protect it, keep it sacred, and even let reality get a bit skewed. But when you start to think that you are the only one who can carry all of this, that is the downfall.
Cody says that is a quest for control, for power, and it tips the scales from the original intention. Seth doesn’t like the QB moniker, but it is just a nickname, a shared one at that. As much as Cody likes and wants to be a leader, this team in WWE is the greatest team it’s ever assembled. And if Cody is not pulling his weight, there is someone who can step up and do it. The fans cheer that, too. And Cody will go ahead and name some names, not just for the cheap pop, but to illustrate the point. Superstars like: Randy Orton, who the fans cheer; Roman Reigns, who the fans ACKNOWLEDGE; Rhea Ripley, who the fans definitely cheer; Jey Uso, who the fans “YEET!”
Heck, Cody is pretty sure he even means C M Punk. The fans also cheer and chant that name. Cody says he also could be talking about Seth himself. The fans boo that, and Cody sees they don’t really like Seth. But the spot Seth is so envious of, it is the spot he can fill. The fans chant, “Seth is a Wanker!” Cody says this is going off the rails. He will confirm with The Voice of WWE, Michael Cole, what is it they’re saying? Maggle says he has no idea. No, say it! Cody tosses the mic to Cole! Cole says he still doesn’t get it, so Wade Barrett will say it! “Seth Rollins is a Wanker!” The fans cheer Wade for saying it! “Thank You, Barrett!”
Cody takes the mic back and says he wanted to be serious here. But anyway! No matter what Cody has tried, he doubts Rollins is listening. But he’ll give into the idea that the world revolves around Seth: Then who is Cody to Seth? Cody can’t just be any wrestler, he’d have to be THE wrestler, right? The one who wears his gear to his own funeral; the one who is buried in his boots; the one that on any night, in any era, under any circumstance, the one in Rollin’s world and in Cody’s, that Rollins cannot beat! The fans cheer and Cody gives us the mic drop! But will Cody go back-to-back as the Men’s Crown Jewel Champion? Or will The Visionary find a way to #BurnItDown?
Stephanie Vaquer prepares backstage.
La Primera has her tag team match with Tiffany Stratton against Giulia & Kiana James, but “The Hot Mess,” Chelsea Green, walks over first. Chelsea congratulates Vaquer on her Women’s World Championship. Chelsea remembers what it was like to become the first-ever Women’s United States Champion. And so champ to champ, Chelsea just wants to say Vaquer has “It.” So spicy, the secret sauce! That said, Chelsea offers Vaquer a spot as “Slaygent V” in the Secret Her-vice! Isn’t she lucky? Now, Chelsea would never ask “Tacky Time” Stratton to do it, this is exclusively for Vaquer. Did you see what Tiff was wearing? It’s giving-
Oh, Tiff walks in. Chelsea nervously says hi, then excuses herself. Vaquer throws the application form away, and tells Tiff that she will have her back, just as she’s sure Tiff will have hers. But Vaquer will say again: Tomorrow, may the best woman win. Tiff says she’s glad they’re on the same page. Vaquer heads out, but will the two champions hold it together? Or will it all far apart this close to Crown Jewel?
Cody returns backstage.
And he comes across Jacob Fatu. The Samoan Werewolf says, “The American Nightmare, huh? Now you know you got nothing but love from the Samoan Werewolf. But on the other side of Crown Jewel, when you finished with Seth Rollins, oh you know what’s popping with me!” Jacob looks to the title, and Cody says, “Good.” Cody heads out, but then the SmackDown General Manager walks in. Nick Aldis says there’s nothing he loves more than seeing someone level up in real-time. Speaking of which, he needs to talk with Jacob about something. Let’s go to Aldis’ office. Okay, keep it 100 then, Nick. But then DREW MCINTYRE ATTACKS JACOB!
Drew POSTS Jacob, then THROWS him into road cases! Then he drags Jacob up to THROW him into more road cases! Drew gets in Jacob’s face and shouts, “What’d you think was gonna happen? You called my ass out, what’d you think was gonna happen!?” Drew then lines up a shot with another case! Aldis returns, and he has producers and refs with him! Don’t think about it, Drew! What is wrong with you!? Drew says forget that piece of crap, DREW needs to talk with Aldis. They leave, Jacob gets up in a rage, not wanting help. Will the Samoan Werewolf and Scottish Terminator soon fight it out in the ring?
WWE United States Open Challenge: Sami Zayn VS ???
Speaking of champions, #BigMatchSami is ready to keep this Open Challenge series going! But who will step to the United States Champion here in Australia? We find out, after the break!

Solo stands over his enemies, his brothers-in-arms with him. MFT is back at 100%, will they take over SmackDown by force?
Nick Aldis talks with the refs.
The SmackDown GM wants this thing with Solo Sikoa handled, go find MFT and tell them Aldis wants to talk with Solo immediately. The refs head out, and then Aldis sees Drew walking back in. Before Drew says anything, Aldis says Drew jumped Jacob right before Aldis was going to tell them both: SmackDown, San Jose, October 17th, Drew VS Jacob 1v1. Drew nods and says 1v1 in front of Jacob’s own people as Drew beast some respect into him. “You’re on.” But then JACOB ATTACKS DREW! The brawl is on, refs and producers and security all rush in, and they manage to separate these two! Will these two absolutely demolish each other in San Jose?
Stephanie Vaquer & Tiffany Stratton VS Giulia & Kiana James!
La Primera and the Wrestling Barbie already said all they needed to say last week during the contract signing, but this match is because The Beautiful Madness & Miss Management had to go and interrupt proceedings. Will the top two women in the WWE humble the United States Champion and her representation? Or will everyone succumb to the Beautiful Madness?
The teams sort out and Vaquer starts against Kiana. The fans cheer for Tiffy Time but Kiana says she can still be Vaquer’s manager going into the Crown Jewel Championship match. Kiana offers a handshake, but then she KNEES Vaquer low! Kiana says that’s for refusing last week! She had her chance, now it’s gone. But then Vaquer reels Kiana in for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Vaquer sits Kiana up, and now the fans really fire up! Vaquer says this is for Eddie Guerrero on his birthday, DEVIL’S KISSES! AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH, YEEEEAH~!

Winners: Stephanie Vaquer & Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall
The top champions win together, but now they shift gears back to being rivals. They stand by the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship belt before they each lift their own. Who will be the one to prove themselves as THE Women’s Champion tomorrow at Crown Jewel?
#ZaRuca is backstage.
And Sol has a question for the hometown girl. Has Zaria ever owned a koala? No, but there was a rabid one that ran around. Did he have a name? They called him Benny. But now #Charlexa steps in. They say hi, and they watched ZaRuca last week. That was impressive. But surely they know facing THE Charlotte Flair & THE Alexa Bliss is no ordinary match. They are going to be in her spotlight. Uh, their spotlight? That’s what Charlotte meant. Alexa says this isn’t their first rodeo. You step into the ring with them, you find there is a big difference between winning a match and facing the very best. Alexa isn’t sure they’re ready yet.
Zaria chuckles. She says they hear the compliments, and they appreciate it. But they’re not just gonna sit around and wait for their turn. If Charlexa doesn’t think ZaRuca is ready yet, prove it. Unless you’re scared to risk it. Oh, rude. Borderline disrespectful. But bold. Charlotte respects that. Reminds her of her. Sol says they respect what Charlexa has done, but at some point, it was because someone gave them their opportunities. That’s all they’re asking for: A chance for ZaRuca to prove themselves. Charlotte says, “Request granted.” But Alexa adds, “Just don’t expect us to hold back. We’re not here to make your dreams come true, we’re here to win.”
Sol says, “Good.” ZaRuca turns to leave but they bump into each other. They sort it out then leave, and Charlexa says that’s not even being on the same page. As they then leave in opposite directions… Alexa says they’re this way, and Charlotte says that she knew that. These two odd couples are going to have it out soon enough, but who proves they’re the more dynamic (or possibly dysfunctional) duo?
WWE Tag Team Championships: Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis w/ The Wyatt Sick6 VS The Street Profits w/ B-Fab!
Well, speaking of dysfunction, the Wyatt Sick6 keep trying to point out what’s going on between Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins, but “Tez & Dawks” don’t wanna hear that. Instead, they just want to be back on top of the world as tag team champions! Will the Profits be up? Or will their bond as brothers go up in smoke? We find out, after the break.
SmackDown returns as The Wyatts make their entrance. The piano plays, the lights dim, and the fireflies come out as a spotlight shines on the rocking chair and lantern. From out of the mist, the Wyatts walk up, Uncle Howdy conspicuous by his absence. In his stead, “Sister Abigail” Nikki Cross picks up the lantern to lead the way. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see which family survives another fight!
Speaking of fight, the teams don’t sort out, they just throw hands! The bell rings and the fans fire up! Ford TOSSES Lumis, Dawkins fires a flurry of fists on Gacy, but Gacy ROCKS Dawkins in return. Gacy whips, Dawkins hurdles, and Dawkins FLYING ELBOWS! The fans fire up, Dawkins drags Gacy over, and he tags Ford. The Profits whip, then DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Ford & Dawkins set up, BACK SUPLEX SPLASH! Lumis runs up, but into a DOUBLE FLAPJACK onto Gacy! The fans cheer, Ford TOSSES Lumis back out, and Dawkins whips Gacy. BACKDROP! Gacy flounders out of the ring to regroup with The Wyatts.
Dawkins goes out, the fans fire up, and Dawkins runs in, POUNCE! He sends both Gacy & Lumis into the barriers! The fans join in with “SI~!” and the fist pump. Dawkins is feeling is as SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Dawkins storms up on Gacy, puts Gacy in, and then drags him up. Dawkins whips, Gacy grabs ropes, and then Gacy BOOTS Dawkins! Tag to Lumis, and they get Dawkins for a BACK SUPLEX NECKBREAKER COMBO! Cover, TWO! Lumis is frustrated already, but he rains down fists! Tag to Gacy, and Lumis lifts Dawkins for an atomic drop! Gacy LARIATS! Lumis SENTONS! Gacy ELBOW DROPS! Cover, TWO! Gacy senses Ford behind him and stares him down. Gacy then drags Dawkins over to tag Lumis back in. The Wyatts mug Dawkins, Lumis whips Dawkins, and Lumis ELBOWS Dawkins down! The fans rally, Lumis paces, and Dawkins writhes.
Lumis sits Dawkins up to ELBOW him in the head! And ELBOW him again! Lumis clamps onto Dawkins with a neck wrench but he endures. Dawkins rises, fires body shots, but Lumis KNEES low! Lumis whips, Dawkins ducks ‘n’ dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! The fans fist pump with Ford as Dawkins and Lumis crawl. Hot tags to Gacy and Ford! The fans fire up and Tez GAMANGIRIS Gacy! Ford goes up to LEAP over Gacy, then LARIAT! And another dodge to then blow past Gacy and LARIAT again! The fans are with Ford but Gacy puts him on the apron. Ford GAMANGIRIS again!
Ford goes back up, and he CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Gacy is still in this but Ford tags Dawkins. Wrench, KNEE, whip and REVELATION!! Cover, Lumis SUPERKICKS it apart! SmackDown returns to single picture as Lumis then goes after Dawkins. Lumis stomps him, then runs up on Ford. Ford GAMANGIRIS again, then goes up, but Lumis UPPERCUTS! Lumis calls to Gacy, they both climb up, only for Dawkins to get under them! The fans fire up for the Double Electric Chair Lift, and then Ford stands up! DOUBLE BLOCKBUSTER DOOMSDAY!! All four men are down and the fans are thunderous with the fist pumps!
Dawkins crawls, finds Gacy to cover, NIKKI helps the ROPEBREAK! So B-Fab grabs Nikki and TOSSES her into the steps! But now Erick Rowan steps up. B-Fab is worried, but then Nikki LEAPS onto Fab! But Ford FLIES onto Rowan! Down goes Redbeard, but Gacy dodges Dawkins! Into the UP- NO! The ANOINTING! Tag to Ford, and Dawkins FLIES onto Rowan! Now Ford is up top, but Lumis saves Gacy from the splash! THE PLAGUE!!! Cover, Wyatts win!
Winners: Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis, by pinfall (still WWE Tag Team Champions)
The Profits used their usual teamwork, but it didn’t work against the sheer numbers of The Wyatts! But while the Profits crash, the MFTs move in! They’re creeping up on The Wyatts! The fans fire up and lose their minds as we see these teams stare down under the spooky lights! And then Solo Sikoa steps in so he can stand between them all. The fans tell off Solo, and NIKKI gets in his face! The fans cheer Nikki for being just crazy enough to stare him down. But then Solo has his guys back down, the message has been sent. But when and where will MFT and the Wyatt Sick6 fight to be THE family of SmackDown?
Backstage interview with The Miz.
Cathy Kelley is with The Hollywood A-Lister and brings up last week’s vicious blindside attack on Carmelo Hayes. Why did Miz turn on Melo? Uh, why did Miz turn on Melo? Rephrase the question, Cathy. Miz saw the potential in H1M, Miz believed in Melo, the potential, the talent, the attitude, the swagger! Miz donated his time and effort to helping Melo as the mentor Miz never had. And yet Melo had the audacity to say he was done with Miz! Like Miz was lucky to be in his presence! Do you know who he is?! Yes, you’re The Miz. The Miz is a TWO-TIME Grand Slam Champion! Main eventer of WrestleMania, future Hall of Famer!
Cathy says some would say he’s also the spotlight stealer. Uh, he IS the spotlight! Everything Miz shines on becomes a star! Melo blew it. Sometimes, winners can’t elevate losers. What Melo, Cathy, and everyone else needs to understand is that the closer you get to Miz, the faster you find out who the real star is. You either rise with him or fall beneath him! And Melo… You missed! Cathy didn’t even wish Miz a happy birthday. Some journalist she is. Miz storms off, but when and where will Melo have his response?
Last Man Standing: Damian Priest VS Aleister Black!
The Archer of Infamy was told that violence begets violence, and The Dark Father vowed to be the prophet of that violence. But at the same time, Priest told him he would be the consequences of Aleister’s actions. What started with The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth has led to these two throwing away the limitations of morality. Who will be THE Last Man Standing?
The bell rings and the two run up! Aleister avoids a boot to KICK, then he bobs ‘n’ weaves and even blocks a shot. But Priest blocks a kick in return to ROCK Aleister! The fans already chant for tables as Priest fires off on Aleister. Priest UPPERCUTS Aleister, then TOSSES him out of the ring. Priest pursues, and he goes looking under the ring. The fans cheer, Aleister stands at 3 of 10, and Priest finds a kendo stick! But Aleister BOOTS him first! Aleister fires hands, then a KICK! Priest sputters against the apron but Aleister brings him around. Priest blocks a smack off the steps to SMACK Aleister off the steps. Priest then pulls the steps apart!
The fans cheer as Priest runs up and RAMS Aleister down! The count begins again but Priest waits, steps at the ready. Aleister stands at 4, but Priest RAMS him down again! The fans cheer that, and Priest stalks Aleister up the ramp as we go picture in picture.
Priest HEADBUTTS Aleister, KICKS him, then ROCKS him! Aleister fires back, Priest ROCKS him again, and they go to the stage. Priest sends Aleister into a stage truss! They go around the way, they brawl, and Priest ROCKS Aleister against the truss! The fans cheer as Priest gets space, and he runs up, only for Aleister to move! Priest hits truss, Aleister BOOTS Priest! Priest staggers, Aleister KICKS and CLUBS him, then UPPERCUTS him! They go around the wide ride side of the stage, Priest ROCKS Aleister, but Aleister JUMP KNEES Priest! Priest staggers away, Aleister pursues and throws knees! Then he THRWOS Priest into barriers!
Priest hobbles, Aleister ROCKS him, and they start going down the ramp towards ringside. Aleister KICKS Priest, SMACKS him off barriers, but Priest ROCKS Aleister! And ROCKS him again! Priest drags Aleister along, winds up, but Aleister blocks to KNEE and KICK Priest! Aleister drags Priest along to SMACK him off the apron! SmackDown returns to single picture as Aleister brings out another kendo stick. But Priest SUPERKICKS first! Aleister falls back against the apron, and fans still want tables. Priest drags Aleister up to whip him hard into barriers! The standing count is on Aleister, but Priest goes to get the base steps!
Aleister rises at 5 to stand at 6, but Priest has put the steps in the ring. Aleister storms inside, but into a FLATLINER! The fans rally, Priest brings the base steps around, then he brings Aleister around. But Aleister blocks, ROCKS, and JUMP KNEES Priest again! Priest staggers, Aleister goes up, but Priest GAMANGIRIS! Priest then lines up a shot, and he goes to the very top! But Aleister gets under him! The fans freak out already but Priest ROCKS Aleister! Only for Aleister to drop toehold him onto the steps! Aleister and Priest go to corners, but the standing count is on Priest. Priest rises up at 4, but Aleister uses the steps to LEAP!
But Priest catches him! SOUTH OF- NO, Aleister KNEES free! Aleister goes up, METEORA onto the steel steps!! The fans fire up and lose their minds as the standing count begins again. Priest is down at 5, manages to slump off the steps at 6, and he uses ropes to stand at 7. Aleister tips the steps over onto their side, and he GRINDS Priest’s face into that diamond plated steel! But Priest elbows free! Aleister fires a strike fest, runs, but into a scoop! SNAKE EYES off the steps! Aleister staggers, Priest kicks him low and reels him in! Canadian Rack, but Aleister fights free! And he DUMPS Priest out! Priest stumbles to the desk!
Aleister goes up, out, up, ARIHARA- NO, Priest dodges the moonsault! Aleister runs up, Priest BACKDROPS, but Aleister sunset flips through to BOMB Priest into the other steps! The ref hurries to check Priest and he’s somehow okay to continue. But then Aleister DRIBBLES Priest off the side! The fans are torn but Aleister wants the count. Priest sputters, the count begins, and the fans cheer. Aleister watches closely, and Priest rises at 5 to stand at 7. The fans still want tables, but Aleister runs up! Priest POUNCES Aleister over the announce desk! The fans go nuts again as SmackDown goes back to picture in picture.
The fans rally as the count climbs, and Aleister is up at 4. Priest storms up to UPPERCUT! Aleister is in a daze, but Priest drags him up to ROCK him again! Aleister staggers away, Priest ROCKS him again, and SMACKS him off the apron. Aleister is down, Priest goes up, and the count returns. Priest leaves Aleister be, and the count is 5 of 10! Aleister rises up, but Priest hoists up the base steps! Aleister sees that and scrambles away before Priest DROPS the steps! The steps hit the ground, Aleister leans on the barriers. Priest goes out after Aleister again, and he brings Aleister around to ROCK him again!
Aleister rolls into the ring, Priest has the kendo stick. But Aleister has one, too! Priest blocks the kendo stick to BELL CLAP! Then he ELBOWS Aleister in the corner! And he runs to SHOULDER TACKLE! Priest winds up as Aleister rises, and Priest runs to COMEBACKER LARIAT! SmackDown returns to single picture as the count climbs. Aleister is down at 5 but stirring. Aleister sits up at 6, but Priest has the kendo stick! Aleister is up at 9, but Priest SMACKS him in the leg! And then wrenches Aleister to bring him over to the corner. Priest goes up and tightrope walks! But Aleister SMACKS Priest with a kendo stick!
Priest stays up and SMACKS, SMACKS, SMACKS in return! But Aleister YANKS Priest down for a KNEE! Both men fall, but Priest falls out of the ring! The fans fire up as the standing count is on both men. “This is Awesome!” as we reach 4 of 10, then 5. Priest sits up, Aleister stirs, and both stand at 8. Priest leans against the post, Aleister goes out after him, and Aleister drags Priest up to ROCK him again. Fans still want tables, but Aleister takes a chair instead. The afns still like that, and Aleister jAMS Priest up! And JAMS him again! And then again, and again! Priest drops to his knees, the count starts, but Aleister aims!
Priest choke grips Aleister first! APRON CHOKE SLAM! Then Priest reels Aleister in, crucifix for the RAZOR’S EDGE on the commentary desk! The table didn’t break but maybe Aleister just did! The fans fire up, they want that again! The count climbs, Aleister is still down at 5 of 10. Then 7! 8! 9! Aleister slumps off the desk to stand at 9.5!! The fans fire up but Priest snarls. Priest drags Aleister back around, lifts again, another RAZOR’s EDGE on the desk! Despite what the fans want, the desk does not break! We’re again at 5 of 10, then 7, and again Aleister slumps down to survive at 9.5! Priest TOSSES him into the crowd!
The fans fire up as this moves towards the back area, and Priest TOSSES Aleister onto a shelf unit! The fans fire up as Priest hops up to join him. Priest reels Aleister in, BROKEN ARROW onto a road case! Aleister sputters, the fans lose their minds as this is literally escalating! Priest climbs up, Aleister wants mercy, but Priest says didn’t Aleister want to show us Hell? Stand up, big man! WAIT! Zelina Vega rushes out here! Aleister’s wife wants Priest to show him mercy. The fans boo, Priest asks if Aleister is really letting his wife be his shield. Aleister tells Zelina to step aside, they have to settle this.
Priest brings down his straps, and he grabs Aleister, but Aleister uses FLASH PAPER to blind and startle Priest!! Then BLACK MASS!! Priest falls down through tables!! The fans lose their minds and the count begins! The count is 5 of 10 but Priest is barely stirring! We hit 7, then 8! Then 9! TEN!! ALEISTER WINS!!
Winner: Aleister Black
Zelina helps Aleister stand, but did La Muneca have something to do with that final trick? Will Priest ever stand again after what Aleister did to him?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown from Australia, even as the go-home to Crown Jewel: Perth. That vignette of taking the Crown Jewel titles from Riyadh to Perth was neat, but could’ve honestly been saved for Crown Jewel tomorrow. Though at the same time, it worked well with Cody opening the show and having his promo to put a punctuation on this before the match tomorrow. Also, Rollins didn’t show up because per their “Kickoff Show” live conference with the fans and all that, Rollins had no comment, he didn’t want to talk anymore. Honestly, at this point, I feel like Rollins HAS to win. Not only has Cody won the other three times, but Heyman’s ultimatum of breaking up The Vision, Rollins has to find a way to win just so things don’t absolutely fall apart.
Though as I’ve been saying, that really depends on if Raw and SmackDown will split the Crown Jewel wins or not. Vaquer & Tiff had a good little promo that was really more helped by Chelsea thinking Vaquer would degrade herself to being Secret Her-vice. The tag match was good stuff, maybe a little clunky from just less reps together since Vaquer is Raw and we haven’t really had interactions of Tiff with Kiana and Giulia. But great win for the Faces to keep Vaquer and Tiff even, and this really could go either way at this point. It also depends on who will challenge each champion after Crown Jewel on the road to WarGames, or who even is in the Women’s WarGames, should there be one.
Good promo from #ZaRuca and #Charlexa to essentially set up a tag title match. Fun little detail at the end with each team not knowing where they’re literally going, too, showing both sides still have some work to do to be in sync. It also worked as a perfect segue to the tag title match, though we oddly didn’t get as much dysfunction from The Profits as they’ve been implying. It was really just more classic “This team has more people, that’s why they win.” But MFT made great moves tonight, and I just knew it was all waiting on Tama’s return. Sami VS Nakamura as two Faces was an awesome match, but MFT “ruining” it did help keep Nakamura strong without having a real win or lose.
And then after the great tag title match, great move for MFT to be out there and essentially issue their challenge. Though, the WWE production team should’ve realized having the strobe lights going that entire time was BS. It hurt my eyes, they still hurt, and it might as well have come with a seizure warning it was that bad. But still, great stuff, and I’d love if the WarGames match was actually MFT VS Wyatts, provided Bo Dallas is alright to wrestle. Bo not being there really was curious, but I haven’t heard word of injury. Though even then, I’m not sure who the Wyatts could get as a fifth man if it’s all five men from MFT.
Great stuff with Drew and Jacob, from Jacob telling Cody that he wants next to Drew attacking him to then Jacob attacking back. Drew VS Jacob itself could be made into a #1 contender’s match so that the winner faces Cody at like Saturday Night’s Main Event or something. It’d fit SNME cuz I don’t think Cody is losing this Undisputed title until 2026, so Drew can get a rematch and lose again or Jacob can get his first try and lose while looking awesome. And of course, great stuff with Priest VS Aleister. Zelina showing up and Aleister using flash paper was great stuff, too, because for one, the mist is Asuka’s thing, she’s the only one in WWE that can spray mist. But also, feels a little like they handed the flash paper mantle from Karrion Kross & Scarlett to Aleister & Zelina.
Either way, great win for Aleister, he could also position himself as a contender, but that depends on how much more they want to do of Aleister VS Priest. Also, R-Truth keeps “missing” foreign SmackDowns because he kayfabe goes to the wrong destinations. At some point, we need to have that real blowoff of Ron Killings VS Aleister Black to finish this story.
My Score: 8.8/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?
AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Brian Cage w/ The Don Callis Family!

The bell rings, Cage runs up, but Knight dodges! Knight fires haymakers, Cage shoves him, but Knight dodges. Knight CHPOS, but Cage doesn’t budge! Cage makes the pecs dance, so Knight CHOPS again! The fans cheer as Cage eggs Knight on. Knight urns, leaps, but into Cage’s arms! Cage uses Knight to do curls, then THROWS knight! Knight lands out, RAMS Cage, but Cage comes back! Knight RAMS Cage again, but it’s still not enough! Knight tries a bigger SHOULDER TACKLE, but Cage stays standing! Knight runs one more time, ducks ‘n’ dodges, SATELLITE- NO, Cage stops the DDT! Cage THROWS Knight away!
Knight staggers, Cage SUPERKICKS him down! “Who betta than Cage?!” The fans fire up as Cage storms up on Knight, stands him up, and bumps him off buckles. Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!
Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cage refreshes the ring count, drags Knight up again, and hits an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Knight writhes, Cage refreshes the count again, then he whips Knight into barriers! Knight practically falls into the laps of the front row! But Cage brings Knight around to CHOP him down! Cage soaks up the cheers and jeers before he brings Knight around again. Cage SMACKS Knight off the apron, then puts him in the ring. Cage storms into the ring, drags Knight by his legs, and ties the legs up into a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Knight endures as Cage sits deep! Knight powers up, fights his way forward, and he reaches to the ROPEBREAK!
The ref counts, Cage lets go at 4, but Cage brings Knight up. Knight CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Cage still doesn’t back down. Knight fires more shots, but Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage digs his boot into Knight at the corner, but he stops as the ref counts. Cage drags Knight up, puts him in a corner, and LARIATS! Cage wrenches to then SAIDO Knight away! Knight flounders to the apron, Cage soaks up more cheers and jeers, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Knight rises to fire forearms on Cage, but Cage ROCKS Knight in return! Cage slingshots Knight into a facelock, for a SPIRALING SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!
Knight survives and Cage is frustrated, but Cage decides to write Knight off. Cage drags Knight up, reels him in, and suplexes, DRILL- NO, Knight slips free to waistlock. But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight. Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off shots, then fires a flurry of haymakers! But Cage grabs and TOSSES Knight to a corner!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!
Ace clutches his arm as Ospreay shows his training already. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then whips Ace. Ace reverses, he blocks a boot, but not the AX KICK! Ospreay headlocks, Ace powers up and out, but Ospreay RUNS him over! Things keep moving, Ace drop toeholds to ENZIGIRI! And basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Ace facelocks Ospreay, turns him, NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Ospreay ROCKS Ace, ROCKS him again, and again! Ace trips Ospreay, hooks up the legs, and he turns Ospreay over to tie the legs up! MUDA LOCK! The fans rally as Ospreay endures being bent back, and he crawls forward to the ROPEBREAK!
The fans cheer while Ace lets go. Ospreay checks his neck but he is alright to continue. Ace drags Ospreay up, reels him in, but Ospreay wrenches out to SOBAT! Ospreay whips, Ace reverses, but Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RAN- NO! Ace blocks to swing Ospreay up into a fireman’s carry! Ace does a squat for the DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Ace flexes, covers, TWO! Ospreay stay sin this while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ace is frustrated already, but he stalks Ospreay to ropes. Ace kicks Ospreay around, CLUBS him down, but Ospreay fires back. Ace bumps Ospreay off buckles, kicks and ROCKS him, then snapmares. Ace KNEES Ospreay in the back, then clamps on with a chinlock. Ospreay endures, even as Ace cranks the neck, and Ospreay fires shots from below. Ace DECKS Ospreay for it! Ospreay rises up, but Ace DECKS him again! Ospreay sits up again, so Ace BOOTS him down! Ace waits on Ospreay, then BOOTS him again! Ospreay goes to a corner, Ace CHOPS him, then reels Ospreay in for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Ospreay toughs it out but Ace drags him around.
Ace steps over, traps Ospreay in a headscissors, then grinds him down. Ospreay endures, even as Ace puts on the squeeze. Ospreay fights around, rises up, and Electric Chair Lifts Ace! Ace slips free to ROCK Ospreay in the back! Ace CLUBS Ospreay to a corner, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Ace backs off, and Ace CHOPS Ospreay! Ospreay ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay! Ace KICKS the leg, CHOPS Ospreay down, then brings Ospreay back around. Ace rains down ELBOWS on Ospreay before he clamps on another chinlock. Ospreay endures as Dynamite returns to single picture, and the fans rally up.
Ospreay fires body shots, Ace puts him in the corner, but Ospreay BOOTS him away! Ospreay is on the apron, he springboards back in, PIP PIP CHEERIO! The fans fire up with Ospreay as he watches Ace rise up. Ospreay ducks a shot, atomic drops, then KNEES, ROUNDHOUSES, and STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, TWO! Ace survives that quick string of moves, but Ospreay brings him back around. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS again! And again! But Ace blocks one to ROCK Ospreay! Ace whips, Ospreay handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK!
The fans fire up while Ace bails out! Ospreay has the fans shouting “OI! OI! OI!” as he takes aim. But Ace avoids the plancha! Ospreay blocks the kick, only for Ace to handstand out of the sweep! Ace avoids another sweep, but Ospreay avoids the kick! Ace avoids yet another sweep by going up and over the corner! Ace WRECKS Ospreay with a dropkick, then aims to PLANCHA after all! Down goes Ospreay and the fans fire up! Ace drags Ospreay up, but Ospreay puts him int he ring! Ace rewinds to headscissor, but Ospreay pops Ace up to SUPERKICK the arm out! Ospreay then climbs up, takes aim, and BLINDSIDE FOREARM!
The fans fire up as Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Ace survives and Ospreay is stunned! Ospreay just shakes it off, goes to the corner, and takes aim. Ace slowly rises up, but he ducks the Hidden Blade to DOUBLE STOMP! Ospreay sputters, Ace falls back, and now Ace takes aim. Ace runs corner to corner to A-LIST LARIAT! Then he LARIATS again and again! Ace hoists Ospreay up top, then slips outside to ENZIGIRI! Ospreay wobbles, Ace gets space, and Ace runs up! FLIPPING RANA!

Ace tucks Ospreay to then swing him out, AIR RAID FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives and Ace is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” as Ace stalks Ospreay to a corner. Ace ROCKS Ospreay again and again, then hoists Ospreay up top. But Ospreay fires shots in return! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, goes up, but Ospreay pushes on Ace’s arm!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
