PLAY BY PLAY
Code Rhodes is here!
Cincinnati, Ohio fires up for The American Nightmare and sings along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” Cody gets his pyro tonight, then he hugs and high-fives fans as he goes down the ramp. Cody gets the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and pyro at the ring, then grabs himself a mic. The fans cheer Cody on, he fires them up a bit more, then he says, “So, Cincinnatiii~! Whaddya wanna talk about?” But then Paul Heyman says, “Well, there’s plenty that we’d like to talk about.” The Oracle walks out from the crowd side and says he is glad Cody asked the question. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed follow Heyman, and Heyman says, “What would we like to talk about?”
The Vision gets on the apron, but then surprise! Randy Orton is already out here! He slips into the ring and Heyman says he owes them all an apology. That was rude, he didn’t even introduce himself. “Ladies and gentlemen… My name is Paul Heyman! Mr. Breakker, Mr. Reed and I didn’t come out here to talk to you, Mr. Rhodes. No, we came out here to talk to you, Mr. Orton. You’re a tough man to get a hold of. You never take my phone calls, never return my texts, never return my emails. So I said to The Brons, ‘Corner the champion and The Viper shall appear.’ And that wasn’t a prediction, that was a spoiler.”
The fans chant, “R K O! R K O!” Heyman sighs, and he “thanks” Cincy for their “most irrelevant opinion.” The fans boo, but Heyman continues with, “I would give any amount of money to be the fly on the wall when you two plot your strategy tonight. Because whatever that strategy is, hard facts: You’re going to lose tonight to Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed.” The fans boo, but Heyman claims that is also a spoiler. But here is what he wants to know: When Orton loses tonight, if they beat Cody Rhodes, then Orton knows, Cody knows, and everyone knows that Orton will look at Cody and say, “That’s the Undisputed Champion? I could do so much better than that.”
The fans boo again, but Heyman says that if Bron & Bronson happen to beat a legend like Orton, then how can Orton NOT look at Cody and ask, “Where were you, Champ?” Either way, no matter how you look at it, this can’t last. And that’s not a prediction from an Oracle, that is a prophecy. Heyman leads Bron & Bronson away, just waiting for the main event. But does Heyman have a point? Will The Viper and American Nightmare inevitably be torn apart?
The Miz finds Carmelo Hayes backstage.
The Hollywood A-Lister is not happy with H1M, but he won’t let Melo just walk off and not explain himself. Melo says there’s nothing to explain. Miz says Melo just watched him take the pin last week! He took three finishers! Does Melo not know how tag teams work? They’re supposed to have each other’s backs. Melo says yeah, and Miz was supposed to have his! But Miz just stands in his way! This is done! Miz can’t believe Melo is the one saying the team is done. Melo says he’s being cool about it, too. Because normally, Melo shoots first. Melo leaves, but will Miz leave it at that?
WWE United States Open Challenge: Sami Zayn VS ???
#BigMatchSami is ready for another night and another fight! But who answers his Open Challenge here in Cincinnati? We find out, after the break!
SmackDown returns and we see who answers the challenge: CARMELO?! Well, Melo was close the last time, he wants another go! Melo has a mic in hand, and he tells Sami, “You know exactly why I’m here. Me and you, we already did this thing. But here’s the difference. This time, I don’t have anybody holding me back. This time, I don’t have anybody clouding my vision, taking my focus away from beating you for that United States Championship. Because Sami, you know how great I am, I know how great I am, and tonight, here in Cincinnati, I’m the best I’ve ever been. So Sami, it’s about time I show you exactly why I am H1M.”
BUT MIZ HITS MELO WITH A SKULL CRUSHING FINALE ON THE STAGE! Miz says no go, Melo! Producers rush out here to back Miz off, but now Aleister Black walks out here! The Dark Father picks up the mic to say, “While that is just so unfortunate… US title challenge… I’ll take it.” The fans cheer that! Sami also can’t help but smile, this is definitely a top notch match! But will Sami stay golden? Or will he just #FadeToBlack?

The fans rally and Sami stirs. Sami rises up to ROCK Aleister first! Sami climbs, he brings Sami up, and up, and SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! The ref checks, both men are able to continue, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns as Aleister is down, and “This is Awesome!” Sami hurries up a corner, but Aleister rises to ROUNDHOUSE! But Sami fires hands in return!

Winner: Sami Zayn, by pinfall (still WWE United States Champion)
Sami survives and Priest smiles as he got to cost Aleister this one. Who will be next for Sami and the series of Open Challenges? And as for Priest, he is surprisingly polite as he clears off the commentary desk. Priest then tells Aleister, “What did you think was gonna happen?” He drags Aleister out, RAZOR’S EDGE down through the table! Cincy fires up as Priest stands over Aleister! When and where will the Archer of Infamy and the Dark Father finally settle this?
Nick Aldis talks with #ZaRuca.
The SmackDown General Manager says Sol Ruca & Zaria have been very impressive as of late, and- He is interrupted by Chelsea Green & Alba Fyre. The Hot Mess says she was just thinking, but Aldis says he was just talking to Sol & Zaria here. Oh, perfect timing! Tell them that The Green Administration is giving them the opportunity of a lifetime! They can be “Slaygent S” and “Slaygent Z” of the Secret Her-vice. Last time she got in the ring with them, she kinda- ZaRuca both say they’re not interested. Also, didn’t they beat Chelsea? They shouldn’t need to audition, not that they want in. They want to prove themselves as contenders to the Women’s Tag titles.
Chelsea tells Aldis to tell ZaRuca that they would be lucky to get a chance of a lifetime! Aldis won’t do that. But Sol says why miss out on another chance of a lifetime? Zaria gets it, and agrees. They can make this a match tonight. Aldis likes that, too! Then Chelsea & Alba will face #ZaRuca. Chelsea says Aldis always ruins everything! The Hot Mess storms off, but will she cool off after the Soul Surfer & Agent of Change get through with her?
The Green Administration VS #ZaRuca!
SmackDown returns and ZaRuca makes their entrance. The teams sort out and Zaria starts against Alba. They circle, tie up, and go around. Zaria powers Alba back, but Alba pulls hair! Alba puts Zaria int he corner, grinds her forearm in, but the ref counts. Alba stops, talks trash, but Zaria grabs her by the neck! Zaria THROWS Alba to the corner, SPLASHES, then whips corner to corner. Alba dodges this time, but Zaria BOOTS in return! Zaria goes up, reels Alba in, and she grins as she has the HANGING SLEEPER!

Backstage interview with Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss.
Speaking of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Cathy Kelley is with The Queen & Lil’ Miss Bliss to talk about ZaRuca. We just saw that great win, they have chemistry, but what do these two thinks? Charlotte says ZaRuca is impressive. Alexa says yes, those two came together to be a team, and Alexa knows about not always being on the same page with a teammate. Sometimes your tag partner thinks she’s the queen. Charlotte rolls her eyes and says yes, we get it. And yet Alexa carries a spooky doll. Anyway, ZaRuca has come so far, it makes sense they’d wanna face Charlotte & Alexa. And when that time comes, they better be ready. “WOO~!”
Charlotte wants Alexa to do one, she doesn’t wanna, so Cathy lets out a “WOO~!” Charlotte says see? Alexa just laughs and heads out, so Charlotte follows. But when and where will we see the “Allies of Convenience” take on the best friends for the belts?
Cody Rhodes talks with Randy Orton backstage.
Cody brings up what Heyman said, but Randy says, “Who cares what Heyman says?” Cody says Randy knows he has his back, and Randy says yes, right back at him. They fist bump, and Randy heads out. But is Heyman’s mind game going to work out on his favor in the end? Or is there no destroying the legacy of this duo?
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
And as he stands at the table, he says, “Ladies and gentlemen, one week from tomorrow at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia, two of our brightest shining stars and two champions, Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie Vaquer, face off for the coveted Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. Tonight, we make it official. So without further ado, please welcome the WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton!” The fans cheer for the Wrestling Barbie, undefeated in 2025, even after last week’s massive Triple Threat. Tiff goes right to the ring, and Aldis now welcomes out the WWE Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer!
The fans fire up again as La Primera makes her way out to the ring, having a top tier 2025 in her own right. Vaquer joins everyone in the ring and goes to the table. She pushes her chair aside, preferring to stand, so Tiff stands back up to match. Vaquer tells Tiff she has respect, and Tiff is a great champion. Vaquer knows she’s only been world champion for two weeks, but she promises to show Tiff who she is. Because Vaquer won’t be losing any match from now on. So may the best woman win. The fans cheer that, and Tiff takes her turn. Since the moment Vaquer was signed, Tiff couldn’t wait for the moment she stepped into a ring with her.
Stephanie Vaquer VS Tiffany Stratton, two of the best, and they proved that when they won these titles. But in Perth, at Crown Jewel, there will be only ONE woman walking out as the Crown Jewel, and it will be Tiff. Because it doesn’t matter where they are, from Australia to France to Italy to Cincinnati, it is and always will be Tiffy Time. Both women sign their part of the contract, and they even shake hands. Aldis takes the contract, he thanks both ladies, and says it is set: Vaquer VS Stratton for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, next week at Crown Jewel in Perth! But then GIULIA attacks Tiff on the way out!
The fans boo but Miss Management, Kiana James, says hold on, hold on. Aldis shouldn’t notarize anything just yet. Kiana & Giulia have a business proposal for Vaquer. Vaquer has worked incredibly hard to become champion, it is commendable. But Kiana wants her and Giulia to be the first to tell Vaquer that she’s a star. We all know that. But… Vaquer just isn’t a superstar. Now, don’t listen to the fans. Kiana can make Vaquer a superstar, if she accepts Kiana’s services. Her rates are high, but the level of prestige Vaquer will reach is priceless. Kiana will take Giulia to the top of this division! She already outshines Tiff as the best champion on SmackDown.
Kiana has done all of that for Giulia, so just imagine what she can do for Vaquer! Vaquer could be THE Women’s Crown Jewel Champion! The choice is hers. Or, just end up like Tiffy- TIFF TRIPS KIANA! Tiff drags Kiana out, DECKS Her, so Giulia swings on Vaquer! Vaquer dodges, kicks her low, and hooks her up for the S- NO, Giulia slips free! Kiana gets Giulia to safety and the fans boo. But will Miss Management & Beautiful Madness learn a thing or two about respect?
Nick Aldis talks with Je’Von Evans.
It was just before the show that the SmackDown GM talked with the Young OG. Aldis knows Evans is making a name for himself. Evans has a lot going on, obviously, what with NXT VS TNA: Showdown next Tuesday. But Aldis will stay in touch, there is a bright future for Evans on SmackDown. Je’Von thanks Aldis, and then Rey Fenix walks over. Fenix says hey to Je’Von, and says that match with Sami last week was GOOD! Now, that got Fenix thinking on what they could do 1v1! Je’Von says that’s fire, dawg! But then Los Garza walks in and they talk some trash, claiming Aldis is babysitting Je’Von here.
Angel says a fresh reminder: Je’Von is goofy, and the former AAA World Tag Team Champion already beat Fenix and that was a long time ago. Je’Von says that is goofy! But since they wanna run their mouths, Los Garza can run it back with them. Aldis likes the sound of that, too. We get a tag team match tonight! Then will Je’Von and Fenix get BOUNCY~ in Cincy? Or will Los Garza win this for Legado?
Jacob Fatu speaks.
“See, what bothers me is I’m tired of people lying, I’m tired of people crying and wasting time on their BS stories. See, I had to do what was best for Drew, and that was shut his ass up! See, people like to talk a lot, until the situation gets spicy. And see, me? I’m on a whole ‘nother time. I was broke, foaming at the mouth, so what you think I’ma do if someone disrespects me, huh? I’ma apply pressure and wake they ass up for sleepin’ on me! But let’s keep it 100! I’m fresh off the scab with it. All raw, uncut with it! Lemme light you up! You coming for me? UH-UH! You goin’ straight to the bottom. And to the top is exactly where I’m going.
“And if you ain’t know, Jacob Fatu is all gas, no brakes with it! YADADADADA mean?! FATU~!” The Samoan Werewolf is back on the hunt, but will he bring down the Scottish Terminator? Or will Fatu actually get Drew back to that form with this?
Je’Von Evans & Rey Fenix VS Los Garza!
SmackDown returns and Angel y Berto make their entrance. The teams sort out and Je’Von starts against Berto. The fans rally, Je’Von and Berto approach, then Je’Von dodges to springboards and flying roll-up! TWO, and Berto runs up again. Je’Von dodges to springboard and CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Je’Von runs, Berto dodges the lariat, Je’Von ducks a roundhouse but not the ENZIGIRI! Berto fires up, Angel fires up with him, and Berto covers, TWO! Berto drags Je’Von around, throws down fists, but Cincy rallies for Je’Von. Berto HAMMERS away on Je’Von, then talks some trash. The fans boo, but Berto CHOPS!
Je’Von CHOPS, but Berto stomps a mudhole in. Berto brings Je’Von up but Je’Von fires body shots. Je’Von runs, but into a DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Berto is annoyed, the fans rally, but Berto whips. Je’Von reverses, and BOUNCY~ RANAS! Berto flounders, Angel tags in, and Berto DUMPS Je’Von out! Angel BOOTS Je’Von, then SLINGSHOT into the HAYMAKER! Los Garza is fired up, but but here comes Fenix! He handsprings through the hip toss to DOUBLE ARM-DRAG! Then he FLIES out onto Angel! The fans fire up for the Tornillo, but Berto runs to FLY! He takes out Fenix with a Fosbury Flop!
But now Je’Von FLIES! Everyone wipes out at the ramp and the fans fire up while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Angel rains down fists on Fenix in a corner. But Fenix slips free at five to then SHORYUKEN in return! The fans fire up, and Fenix brings Angel in for a tuck. Angel fights it, Berto slips in, but Je’Von LARIATS Berto and himself out of the ring! Angel slips free, but Fenix mule kicks! SOMERSAULT- NO, Angel catches Fenix first! Je’Von slips back in, but Berto CLUBS him now! Berto puts Je’Von up on top, then runs, FLYING CHUCK POWERBOMB POWERSLAM COMBO! Cover, TWO! Fenix survives and Angel is shocked! The fans rally up while Angel sits Fenix up. Angel ROCKS Fenix with a forearm!
Angel fires more shots, but Fenix JAWBREAKERS back! Angel drops to his knees, he ducks the buzzsaw, but not the BASEMENT ENZIGIRI! Angel rebounds to LARIAT! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Je’Von rises, he is feeling it! Hot tags to Berto and Je’Von! Je’Von dodges to SUPERMAN PUNCH! But Berto BOOTS from the corner! Berto goes up, Je’Von KICKS the legs, then CHEEKY NANDOS! Then a PUNT NANDOS! Then a DIVE onto Angel and cameraman! The fans are going nuts as Je’Von goes back into the ring! But Berto RANAS Je’Von! Cover, with ropes! The ref sees that and sasys nope! Je”Von rolls Berto, TWO!
Je’Von runs, dodges, and KNEES Berto down! Cover, Angel breaks it! The fans boo but Angel drags Je’Von up to whip. Je’Von rebounds, RED DOT KICK! Je’Von runs up at th ecorner, Berto puts him outside, but Fenix tags in! Berto PELES Je’Von, but Fenix slingshots to SOBAT Berto! The fans fire up with Fenix, he hoists Berto up and tucks him back in! Je’Von springboards to O G CUTTER Angel!! Then MEXICAN MUSCLE BUSTER for Berto!! Cover, Fenix & Je’Von wins!
Winners: Rey Fenix & Je’Von Evans, by pinfall
A massive win for the Firebird and the Young OG, and Aldis is right, there is certainly a bright future for Je’Von here on SmackDown. But will Je’Von first win that X-Division Championship at TNA: Bound For Glory?
Backstage interview with Damian Priest.
Cathy Kelley finds the Archer of Infamy and brings up how he’s been the “target of Aleister Black” for weeks now. The violence keeps escalating, and Priest turned the tables, as it were. How far is he willing to go to end this? Priest says Aleister has hit him with Black Mass for weeks. He isn’t the first to sneak attack, but everyone’s time runs out. There are always consequences, and Priest IS those consequences. Then in comes Kit Wilson, in a wheelchair, mockingly applauding Priest. “Bravo, bravo. A great example for the kids, as always.” Kit doesn’t know how many times he has to say this, but WAKE UP, DAMIAN! You think power is intimidation, when really, it is just overcompensation.
Kit says Priest can put him down as many times as he likes, but he promises to overthrow the “Toxic Aggression Era” to prove what REAL masculinity is! Kit stands up and Priest says wow, it’s a miracle! Kit really is masculine. Priest then pushes Kit back into the chair, and then pushes the chair downhill! Kit crashes into road cases! Priest says don’t worry, he’s fine. Toxic? Who knows. But to answer the question, he will take this as far as he has to. So SmackDown, Aleister, Priest, 1v1, LAST MAN STANDING! Let’s see who hits harder. Priest leaves, but will he regret daring Aleister to go all out in Australia?
Solo Sikoa speaks.
“The big man from Japan. Seven feet tall and three hundred pounds of destruction, Talla Tonga.” Talla steps in, and Solo says he helped Solo win the US Championship by smashing the Samoan Werewolf. Solo loves him for that. There is a monster inside of Talla, and he needs to bring it out to show everyone just who he is. Because his loyalty will be rewarded, so long as he is part of “My Family Tree.” Talla says, “I love you.” Solo says, “I love you, too. I love all of you. But there’s something missing. There’s something missing for this family to be complete. Once I find that part, everyone, and I mean everyone, is on notice.”
Backstage interview with The Street Profits.
Cathy Kelley is with Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins & B-Fab, and she brings up the opportunity next week for the WWE Tag Team Championships against the Wyatts. How are they feeling? Are they on the same page? B-Fab assures us all that Tez & Dawks are on the same page. Dawkins says he and Tez have gone through a lot the past couple months, even past couple of years. But they both realized that this right here ain’t worth giving up. Ford says the Wyatts can play all the mind games they want, because next week ain’t just about the tag team championships. Next week is about fighting for each other.
The Profits do the secret handshake, and Ford says Profits & Fab stay up, because #WeWantTheSmoke! But then the screen starts going wonky, and it is a message from The Wyatts! Erick Rowan tells them, “You may be going into this fight as brothers, but will you still consider yourselves family when everything around you comes crashing down?” Joe Gacy says, “Your house is burning, surrounded by flames that will take everything away from you.” Dexter Lumis says, “And you will choke on the smoke you claim to desire.” Nikki Cross says, “Nothing more than a pile of ashes.” Rowan says from their family to yours, they all join in twisted laughter before Rowan says, “Run.”
Well, there’s a mind game for you… But will the Profits survive going Down Under? Or will they simply go down?
Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton VS Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed w/ Paul Heyman!
The American Nightmare didn’t get to talk about what he wanted to talk about, but The Oracle took care of that for everyone. Cody has the grandest prize in the WWE, and perhaps all of professional wrestling, but surely The Viper won’t strike him down for it, right? Or will it not matter should The Badass & The Colossal Aussie wipe them out first?
SmackDown returns and Cody finishes his entrance with the second “WHOA~ OH~!” before Orton makes his entrance. Cincy sings along with Voices, and Orton fist bumps the fans along the ramp. After Orton revels in the fans singing a bit longer, Bron & Bronson make their combined entrance, The Oracle following behind. The teams sort out, Bron starts against Randy, and fans are torn between barking and rallying for Orton. The two tie up, they end up in a corner, and Orton lets off slowly. Then he BODY BLOWS!

The ref counts, Bron backs off, then he climbs up. Bron rains down fists, and he goes to nine before he backs off. Bron winds up, runs up, but Orton pokes him in the eye! Brons taggers away, Orton runs up and kicks low. Orton TOSSES Bron out, then goes out after him. Heyman stays back as Orton stalks Bron to the desk.
Orton stands Bron up, but Bron KNEES low! Bron storms back up on Orton to SMACK him off the desk! Orton wobbles, Bron box jumps to the apron, and Bron powers up to FLYING BULLDOG but Orton dodges! DESK BACK SUPLEX! Bron writhes, Orton holds up a finger, and the fans seem to agree, they’ll do that again! DESK BACK SUPLEX! Bron writhes, but Bronson CLOBBERS Orton! The ref has to keep Cody back, but that lets Bronson DESK BACK SUPLEX Orton! The ref restarts the ring count, Bron rises, and Bron brings Orton around to put in the ring.

Bronson HEADBUTTS Orton to a corner. SmackDown returns to single picture as Orton kicks low in return. Orton throws hands, backs Bronson down, but Bronson BODY BLOWS!

Down go the Brons! The fans fire up with Cody as he puts Reed back in! Cody hurries to push Bronson to a cover, ONE?! Cody hurries to clamp onto Bronson, Bronson fights up, but Cody wrenches. Bronson wrenches to whip, but Cody holds ropes. Cody BOOTS Bronson, but Bron CLUBS Cody! Bronson storms up on Cody to CLUB him down, too! The fans boo but Bronson HEADBUTTS Cody to a corner.
The fans rally for Cody but Bronson BODY BLOWS him! Bronson taunts Cody, brings him up, but Cody kicks low and RHODES UPPERCUT! Cody springboards, but into Bronson’s arms! WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM! Bronson mocks Roman’s battle cry and raises his finger, ACKNOWLEDGE the Tribal Thief! Bronson stomps Cody, tags Bron, and lets Bron build speed so he can LARIAT Cody inside-out! The fans either boo or bark as Bron taunts Orton. Orton lets it slide while SmackDown goes back to picture in picture.
Bron stalks Cody to a corner, digs his knees in, but the ref backs him off. Bron talks trash on the fans, on Cody, and on Orton. Then he brings Cody up, but Cody fires body shots. Cody reaches out for Orton, ROCKS Bron, and repeat. Bron ducks a shot to EXPLODER! He almost throws Cody a full 360! Cody flounders, Bronson tags in, and Bronson drags Cody up from the floor. Bronson puts Cody back into the ring, then clamps on with a neck wrench! Cody endures as Bronson tries to twist his head off! Randy reaches out, the fans rally up, but Bronson HIP DROPS!

The fans fire up as Cody crawls! Bronson stumbles around, catches up to Cody, but Cody avoids the senton! Bronson writhes from his crash landing and the fans fire up more! Cody crawls, but so does Bronson, hot tags to Bron and Orton! The Viper rallies, LARIATS, then dodges to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Orton has Bron in a corner. Bron BOOTS back, Bronson tags back in! But Orton dodges and SNAP POWERSLAMS?!? Orton is feeling it and he brings Bronson up. But Bronson fireman’s carries! JAGGED EDGE!! Bronson then goes to a corner and climbs! The fans boo but Orton rises up!
Orton ROCKS Bronson! Orton fires more hands, then he climbs up after Bronson! The fans fire up for Orton, and he hits a SUPERPLEX!

But Heyman gets on the apron! AND SETH ROLLINS CURB STOMPS ORTON!! Rollins in his dark leather cowboy get-up gets outta there, and Bronson puts Orton in the drop zone! TSUNAMI!! Cover, Vision wins!
Winners: Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed, by pinfall
The Visionary joins his behemoths in celebrating, but Cody is up to see what happened! Cody storms into the ring but The Vision is already on their way out. Rollins says Bron & Bronson are to leave Cody alone, Cody is his soon enough. Bron & Bronson do as told and head up the ramp. And that’s when Rollins turns back to the ring. Even Heyman is a bit surprised by this. He says not to do it, this is Cody getting into Rollins’ head. But Rollins doesn’t care! CURB- NO! Cody dodges! CROSS RHODES!! The American Nightmare just got the better of Rollins again! It seems Heyman was right, just not in the way he wanted! Will Rollins get his head right before Crown Jewel?
My Thoughts:
A very good SmackDown, bordering on great, but this felt like filler on some level, only because SmackDown’s gotten into a habit of making the go-home episode feel like a preshow to the PLE with all the big matches that help lead into Saturday/Sunday. We of course got The Vision here on SmackDown to plug the Crown Jewel Championship story of Cody and Rollins, and I did like Heyman pointing out what fans have noticed: Orton keeps sneaking peeks at the title, so Orton clearly wants a shot at it against Cody. The tag match was really good for the main event, and I should’ve figured Rollins would show up to help his guys win.
But it’s almost comical that Rollins couldn’t just leave and then gets himself in trouble against Cody. As it stands, this could lead to Rollins winning at Crown Jewel, but I’m not sure. We also got a good contract signing from Vaquer and Tiffany, though they honestly didn’t have much more to say than they did on Monday or last week. And while Kiana & Giulia showing up for the sneak attack was good, Kiana’s sales pitch would’ve worked better way before this point. I guess it couldn’t happen since Vaquer is on Raw, not SmackDown. But whatever, this clearly gives us a quick go-home tag match of Tiff & Vaquer VS Giulia & Kiana that the champs will win so we really can’t be sure who wins at Crown Jewel.
Great stuff for Je’Von Evans and ZaRuca tonight, though. They’re all clearly going to be part of the next round of call-ups, with this as the test run. Very good promo from ZaRuca with Green Administration to set up their tag match, and a very good tag match, but with a very good win for ZaRuca. Good promo from #Charlexa to give ZaRuca their props, and I’m thinking they’ll do a tag title match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1st. Je’Von and Fenix had a good promo with Los Garza, and an awesome tag match from them. Great win for Je’Von and Fenix, definitely best thing of the night.
Very good promo from Profits and Wyatts to hype up the tag title match, and at this point, if Profits are losing, this might as well be the moment they break up. The Wyatt Effect was always the subtle way they had someone be changed after facing Bray Wyatt, so the Wyatt Sick6 need to have that affect on people, too. It’ll be sad to see The Profits go, but Ford and Dawkins can each be great singles guys, they can challenge Sami for the US Championship, and we’ll get great stuff.
Speaking of which, really good stuff with the US Championship and the other stories connected to it. After that run-in between them Sami, Miz turning on Melo was a given, so now Miz VS Melo is also a given. And while Sami VS Aleister was a great match, Priest of course cost Aleister. Another hilarious promo with Kit Wilson, too, and of course Priest calls for Last Man Standing with Aleister, that is going to be great stuff. Now, it’s just a matter of time, but Nakamura has to make himself known and challenge Sami, that’ll be great stuff because it can also turn into a feud that uses their WWE history together, dating back to NXT.
My Score: 8.7/10

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!

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!

Knight aims, MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!!
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! The fans fire up as Ace is ready to deal the winning hand! But then Ospreay pops Ace up, and gets him in position! STYLES- NO, Ace pops free!
Ace trips Ospreay, steps through, ties up the legs, TRAILER HITCH BRIDGE! TWO!! Ospreay escapes, but Ace KNEES, KICKS, and fireman’s carries! 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! Then he HOTSHOTS the arm as he drops down, and he tucks Ace in! CHEEKY NAN- NO, Ace dodges! Ace RAMS low, springboards in and FLYING- LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Ace survives again! Ospreay roars, the fans are with him, and he ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Ospreay KICKS!

The fans fire up as Ace shuffles the deck, and runs up for the0 NO, Ospreay BACKDROPS Ace, but Ace lands on his feet! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay isn’t done with just one, he aims from the corner and… Ace flops over! The fans boo but Ospreay shows no mercy. He just runs up to PENALTY KICK the bad arm! Then a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! 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!
