Moxley says, “And that’s how it’s done.” The Death Riders rebound from Blood & Guts, but Pac grabs a mic to talk. “Oi, oi, oi…! From what I’ve heard, Darby Allin, he isn’t here tonight. And I can’t say I’m surprised. Y’see, what I did to Darby Allin at Blood & Guts, it was bloody beautiful. It was the best thing that I’ve ever done! Y’see, I’ve achieved a lot in professional wrestling, but standing and watching him burn… Well, I consider that my magnum opus! My piece la resistance! A masterpiece nonetheless. And no doubt, if Darby is still alive, he’ll want some form of petty revenge. Well, hey! Darby! I’ll be honest with ya: that’s no skin off my ball sack, ya little freak!
“Y’see, you wanna piece of me? No problem! Me and you, mano y mano, any time, any where! And where better than one week from tonight, live on PPV from New Jersey, AEW Full Gear? Y’see, Darby, you get a chance at retribution. But I get a chance to prove to the entire world, live on PPV, that a punk like you doesn’t belong int he same conversation, never mind the same league, as a competitor like ME!” The fans boo, but Pac tells Darby, “Have a little think about it, and let me know, wontcha? I’ll be waiting.” The Bastard has thrown out the challenge, but will- or rather, can Darby Allin accept?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis.
Lexy Nair is with Aussie Open as she brings up the big week for the Don Callis Family. Tonight, Mark Davis takes on Mark Briscoe while Kyle defends the TNT Championship against Scorpio Sky. If successful, we will get Fletcher VS Briscoe 6 at Full Gear. Fletcher is already annoyed, because he is sick of talking about Briscoe! Briscoe has been a thorn in The Family’s side for far too long. At Full Gear, Fletcher puts Briscoe in his place for good. But tonight, Briscoe has to deal with this man! Davis tells “Chicken Man Briscoe” that he won’t even make it to Full Gear, because after Davis wins tonight, chicken is for dinner! RARARARAR!
Fletcher says goodness. Good for Davis, but on Fletcher’s menu is Scorpio Sky. Fletcher tells Scorpio that he is very impressive, undefeated since returning, and a former two-time TNT Champion. But with the roll Fletcher is on, it stops for NOBODY. Get ready to say his full name. Will The Protostar & Dunkzilla dominate on behalf of the Callis Family? Or can a lot change in just one night?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with the Timeless Love Bombs. Lexy notes that no one left Blood & Guts unscathed. Mina is clearly not cleared to compete tonight, and- Toni takes the mic to stop Lexy so that she can say, “Five women made me watch a mugging, a massacre, a murder. Now you can do what you like to me, Toni Storm lives and dies every damn day. But when you touch the woman I love… A woman who brings color to a world that is black ‘n’ white… Then you gain admission to a film, a cinema verité, that stars five sh*t-ass slop tarts and two horror show whores with a lust for vengeance who will love bomb the crap out of you!
“And since it’s your turn to watch, we promise to look good when we do it. Any time, any place. The show must go on. Don’t ask God for mercy, He’s a big fan of our work.” The femme fatale has spoken, but when and where will she and the Fighting Gravure Idol get their hands on Megan, Marina, and the rest?
Mark Briscoe VS Mark Davis!
The Sussex County Chicken almost didn’t make it into Blood & Guts after a backstage ambush from the Don Callis Family, but he showed he can #ManUp and even win at less than 100%! But will Briscoe need to fight like Hell all over again? Or will Dunkzilla make him easy pickings for The Protostar?

Third time is the charm, and now Chicken is red hot going towards Full Gear! But will Briscoe be able to take the TNT Championship, no matter who he’s facing? Or will The Don Callis Family be the winners in the end?
Team Sky Flight speaks.
Christopher Daniels focuses himself before telling Scorpio Sky, “Ever since you decided to start this team of Sky Flight, we have led these guys to some great victories. We are on a roll in the world of professional wrestling, but I think it’s time for you to become a little bit selfish, get some glory for yourself, and regain that gold.” Scorpio says, “It’s been 1228 days since I lost the TNT Title. And not one of ’em has gone by where I haven’t thought about getting it back. The last few years have not been easy for me, but none of it compares to what stands in front of me tonight.
“Kyle Fletcher, you are every bit as good as you think you are. But I’ve got the experience to know that what sticks with you in this business aren’t the victories, it’s the night that should’ve been victories but weren’t. Defeat comes for us all, Kyle. And tonight, yours comes from The Sky.” Scorpio snaps his fingers and we go to break. Will The Closer strike out the Protostar and completely change Full Gear?
Josh Alexander is beating up Michael Nakazawa?!
The Walking Weapon is sending a message to Kenny Omega through the last friend standing! He asks if this all sounds familiar! Kenny’s best friends and loved ones kicking and screaming! Just like Kota Ibushi! This is fun for Alexander! HE is an instrument of destruction for the Don Callis Family! So what do you think he’ll do for a million dollars at Full Gear?

This is the most exciting thing to ever happen to your Podunk town. Because this is the MXM TV Casting Call! Any combination of MXM TV VS any combination of anyone in the back!

AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Scorpio Sky w/ Christopher Daniels!
As it stands, Fletcher and Briscoe will compete for this title at Full Gear, with the added stipulation that Briscoe losing means he’d join the Don Callis Family.

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Closer threw as much heat as he could, but Kyle still hit it out of the park. But then Davis joins in and they mug Scorpio! The fans boo, but here comes Top Flight! Darius & Dante chase Aussie Open off, and even Briscoe is here! Briscoe gets a mic and tells Kyle to do him a favor: Tell Callis that Briscoe will not be stopped. They ambushed him on Wednesday, but what happened? Briscoe’s team emerged victorious! Ask Davis there if he slowed Briscoe down at all. Briscoe whooped that big burly ass! And Kyle, the main thing to do is that the next time “Daddy Don” has Kyle shine that big bald head of his, shine the belt up, too.
Kyle should snuggle with the belt real tight tonight. Give it kisses and hugs, because in one week, Full Gear, that title comes home with Briscoe! The fans cheer that! Kyle tells Briscoe that his screws are loose. They had nothing to do with attacking Briscoe on Wednesday. And this was also defense number eight! One defense from breaking the all-time TNT Championship record! So the only thing that’ll happen one week from tonight is Kyle cementing his legacy as the GREATEST TNT CHAMPION OF ALL TIME! And when that happens, there is a spot with Briscoe’s name on it right next to them in the Don Callis Family.
“And then you will have no choice, like all of these people, but to say my full name.” Fletcher gets the last word tonight, but will Briscoe have the last laugh at Full Gear?
AEW prepares for a big money Tailgate Brawl!
The 5 Tool Player says, “$200,000? Tony, that’s not even nearly enough to get me to wanna tag with this guy.” Platinum Max says yeah, they can’t agree on anything except that they don’t wanna be a tag team. But TK is forcing them, so they’ll take his money, beat up his wrestlers, and hopefully never tag again. Just don’t make them do this. #RockHardRobinson says tonight is a sneak-peek at what goes down at Tailgate Brawl. They’ll win and take all the money to invest it into their 401K! Because the Bang Bang Gang plays for keeps!
But Bryan Keith says $200K is just the right bounty for him and Big Bill! And Bill says he’ll get some of his boys up in Jersey to put that money to work for them. They’ll get 200K from TK, PAY UP! The Outrunners say four teams enter, but only one team has the size to win the prize! Tell ’em, Turb! It’s a $200K Fatal 4 Way Tailgate, and they know something about getting tail and spending money! The Youngest Men Alive vow to win, but who hits the jackpot in New Jersey?

The Wrestling Idol & Iron Will will be in the Women’s Tag Team title tournament, but they’re getting a tune-up here tonight in Erie! Will Riho & Windsor be more than ready for Toni & Mina? Or will The Renaissance Woman & #ThatGirl prove they’re just as All Elite?

Winners: Riho & Alex Windsor, by pinfall
Even Moxley is impressed with that combo, but now Toni Storm is on the tron. She tells Windsor & Riho, “Congratulations on your lovely match. We will be seeing you in the first round of the tag team tournament, and I wish to apologize in advance. We consider you both wonderful athletes, and non-sexual friends. This isn’t personal, so please excuse us as we rip off your heads and s*it on your laps. We are lovers during a very dangerous time, and we are on a very rocky road to revenge, and no woman can stop us! So please, let’s have a bloody good time!” Kiss, kiss, and shove it!
Riho is rather taken aback by all that, but Alex says no, it’ll be a bloody good time indeed. But which team will have their happy ending to kick off their part in the tournament?
AEW shares footage from after Blood & Guts.
The Conglomeration regrouped backstage, and Kyle O’Reilly thinks back on his debut in AEW. It was in the Greensboro Coliseum, it was a bit awkward, but then six months into his AEW career, he basically broke his neck even before facing Jon Moxley. A bad call, and he would not wrestle again for almost two years. Moxley almost ended Kyle’s career. Kyle didn’t know if he’d even pick up his daughter again, let alone wrestle. But here he is, three years later, fighting Moxley again and again. Like a petulant child, Moxley punches a ref. Moxley is a shark, he’s swimming in his natural habitat, looking for prey.
But the thing about sharks, once you sense their movements, once you know what it is, you know how to beat it. Kyle has a submission victory over Jon Moxley! Any other time, any other place, prove him wrong. Moxley on commentary responds by saying, “Oh, you thought that was funny? Hey, what’d we learn earlier with Daddy Magic?” The fans drown Moxley out with “You Tapped Out!” so Moxley gets off commentary to taunt them back. The chant continues, but Moxley grabs a mic to tell The Conglomeration that they had the night of their lives on Wednesday.
“But let’s all be clear, Kyle O’Reilly…! You are nothing like me! You are not built like me! Your team is not built like my team, and don’t you forget it! Oh, you won a match? You won one match? Good for you. Can you do it again and again and again and again? I don’t think you can, and I don’t need to bet a million dollars to prove that you can’t do it again! Lemme tell you something, Kyle O’Reilly! Lemme tell you something, Conglomeration! Any match, any time, any place, you know where you can find us!” Moxley storms off into the night, but what will happen when this Maniac and the Violent Artist meet again?
Backstage interview with Tay Melo.
Lexy congratulates Tay on the win tonight, then brings up Marina ruining the celebration and Toni making the save.

She likes to call herself The Problem, huh? Well guess what! Next time you put your hands on Tay, you find out that Tay is the solution! Get ready for what’s next. The tag team tournament, Marina & Megan love to make a statement, so here’s Tay: They started it, TayJay will finish it. Tay storms off, will she bring that fire to the first round and burn it all down?

Winner: Bandido, Juice Robinson & #JetSpeed, by pinfall
A hard fought match in Erie, and The ROH World Champion stands tall alongside his new amigos! Will The Outlaw, Collision Cowboy and JetSpeed all be red hot going into Full Gear weekend? Or will FTR still make history on PPV?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, but a lot of filler in the Full Gear build. Though, I will say Garcia fighting with Menard and taking him off the show so Moxley could be on commentary was actually some clever stuff. Moxley may be a Heel but he’s still entertaining just being himself. Anyway, great showing for Lethal, Priest & Tommy as before, but of course The Death Riders were winning a rebound match. Pac calling Darby out for a 1v1 match is a bit of a surprise, and now Gabe Kidd being at Dynamite is even more confusing because it seems like Gabe isn’t getting in on anything Full Gear related either. Who knows, Tailgate Brawl only has one match advertised, maybe Gabe gets into something with Roddy or Orange Cassidy.
Speaking of Tailgate Brawl, good promos from the various teams in that “big money” Fatal 4 Way. It being a Fatal 4 Way, anything could happen, and I would love if Not Acclaimed actually won, maybe by “accident.” This story has to keep going, so them winning and making extra money would be great motivation. And speaking of motivation, Josh Alexander going after Michael Nakazawa and “injuring” him adds heat to things for Kenny Omega. Kenny likely gets into a fight or even a match on Dynamite to make sure he’s good for Full Gear, but Don Callis Family probably stands tall to make the go-home math in favor of Kenny & Jurassic Express.
I know everyone loves Toni Storm, myself included, but did she really need to get in on three segments tonight? Her first promo was great, but between saving Tay to go after Marina and then sending a message to Riho & Alex, one of those was redundant. Tay having a response to Toni was also odd, seems like she’s trying really hard to have an attitude. Pretty sure Toni & Mina make it through Riho & Alex, and while it’d be a shame for TayJay, Megan & Marina probably win there. To be fair, Toni wouldn’t have her chance at an attack on Marina if Marina just left Tay alone, that attack itself could be seen as redundant.
Briscoe VS Davis was a great match, though the Battle of Marks is still second to the Battle of Kyles. Good stuff from Kyle calling out Moxley and Moxley responding, they’ll have a great rematch no matter where they do it. Fletcher VS Scorpio was an awesome match, but it was still filler because the title wasn’t going to change hands and change a high stakes match they’ve already given us. Typical TK but whatever. The promo from Briscoe and Fletcher after was also filler, they could’ve waited to say all this on Wednesday as part of a final faceoff or something. Still hard to say who wins, though, as Briscoe finally winning the TNT title is great, but there could be some creative things done if Briscoe was forced to be Don Callis Family.
Great 8 Man Tag, but again filler to keep everybody in the match sharp. FTR & LFI worked together well, but it fits that they lost to give the Faces momentum going into all the different matches. JetSpeed probably won’t win in the Casino Gauntlet but they’ll have great showings. #Brodido VS FTR still feels up in the air, as Brodido has been on a roll and fans like both guys, but FTR getting this opportunity over other teams has to mean something. FTR making history with another title reign would be great for them, and if they’re still sitting on Cope & Cage becoming tag champs, they could do it by having them beat two guys they know very well in FTR.
My Score: 8.7/10

Hut It Out!” Toni & Mina offer handshakes, the champs accept, and then they hug! A new chapter truly begins in AEW, will Willow & Harley set a high bar for what it means to be AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions?
The Opps speak.
Samoa Joe says, “So, Eddie, congratulations. Your time has come. After weeks of asking, now you will see. Eddie, you wanted the real Samoa Joe, the man you looked up to. The crusader of the independents, the person whose footsteps you’ve followed in, Eddie. What you don’t realize, Eddie, is that man has been standing in front of you the entire time. Eddie, this IS the real me! Eddie, I am ruthless by design. Eddie, I do not care about men like you, because you’re in the way of what I have. Eddie, the man that you looked up to, it was a wonderful idea. But the man that’s gonna beat your ass tonight… Oh, Eddie, this is the man who’s going to show you the reality of what this industry is.”
The One True King of Wrestling Television promises to be very real and very dangerous, but will he crush Eddie’s spirit along with his body?
The Death Riders speak.
Jon Moxley shakes it off and says, “Damn. I am feeling alive. Synapses are firing, electric sparks are sparking in my fingertips. Circumstances aren’t ideal. My back is increasingly against the wall in this Continental Classic, time is running out. But I have proven over and over again, if there is one grain of sand left in the hourglass, I can still score, and I can score big. So go ahead, count me out. Go ahead. If you need circumstances to be ideal to try, maybe you just suck. You know people pay money for this? Take some pride in your work. I have to try. For them. For them! There’s a principle that we believe in. If they are not willing to work, let them not eat.
“We’re the hungriest group of individuals in professional wrestling. That is why we are the hardest working group of individuals in professional wrestling. We’re chasing the dragon every single day!” Daniel Garcia speaks up and says, “Every day we wake up, we choose to win. And that’s why we are the hungriest, that’s why we are the hardest working, that’s why we try. A lot of people think it’s too cool to try, that’s lame. I’m telling you right now, if you want something, you have to go take it, and that’s what we’re gonna go do every single time.” The Maniac and the Red Death are ready to keep trying, but will they be able to win what they want?
2025 Continental Classic Gold League: Kazuchika Okada VS Jack Perry!
The Rainmaker is 1-1 but on the upswing in this C2, but “Jungle Jack” is picking up the baton for Darby Allin, meaning he’s 0-1 and with no points. But will getting payback against a former friend be more than enough motivation for Jack to turn things around? Or will the “greatest tournament wrestler ever” prove he still holds that title along with the AEW International Championship?
The bell rings, and Jack rushes Okada in the corner! Jack fires hands, RAMS Okada, but backs off as the ref counts. Jack then RAMS Okada again and again!

Jack CHOPS Okada, then CHOPS again! And again! But Okada kicks low to DDT!
Jack writhes, Okada steps on him, and it’s a cocky cover! TWO, but Okada just stalks Jack. Dynamite returns to single picture as Okada scuffs Jack and taunts him. The fans rally for Jack and Jack stands up to fire a forearm! Okada eggs Jack on, Jack fires more shots, but Okada ROCKS him! Jack rises again, and he fires more forearms! But Okada ROCKS Jack again! The fans rally as Okada eggs Jack on, but Jack rises to fire a flurry! Okada ROCKS Jack, ROCKS him again, then BOOTS him! Okada fires more heavy shots, then UPPERCUTS!

The fans fire up while Jack and Okada are both down! Okada sputters and the standing count begins.

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Jack earns 0)
Three matches in for Okada, he has another win and six points, but he’s still a step behind the leader. Will The Protostar stay spotless after a showdown with Speedball? As for The Rainmaker, Callis celebrates with him, and brings out the other family members in Rocky Romero, Josh Alexander, Mark Davis, Hechicero, CLØN, and even Konosuke Takeshita, but also the bags of money they won at Full Gear. The fans boo as Callis get a mic, and he says, “I have something important to say!” The fans boo harder, but Callis wants them to sit Jack up. The Family sits Jack up, and Callis says it is okay, guys. This kid’s a businessman, stand him up.
The fans boo and cuss out Callis, but he tells Jack that that was a fantastic match! The toughest match he’s seen Okada have in a long time. There is no shame in losing to Okada, Callis has a lot of respect for Jack. And watching the match, Callis remembers how last week, he tried to give The Young Bucks a million dollars. But he kinda thinks he offered that money to the wrong talent. The fans boo more, but Callis tells Jack that he has a proposal. Jack’s always been a great talent, but he lacks focus and direction. Jack lacks a team of athletes around him to support him! Callis is offering Jack a spot in the Don Callis Family!
But even more than that, he is prepared to grant Jack a one-time-only “signing bonus,” paid out of The Bucks’ prize money! The fans boo and tell Jack, “F HIS DEAL! F HIS DEAL!” Callis says c’mon, this is a great offer! We need an answer. And in case that is still not enough, well, what is Jack waiting for? This is the best opportunity of his life! And remember, there’s seven of them and one of him. Callis will cut those strings and put Jack in a wheelchair. Jack asks for the mic, Callis hands it over, and Rocky says do the right thing and take the deal. Fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” Jack tells Callis, “I have your answer. And it looks like for the second time tonight, I might bite off more than I can chew.”
Jack SMACKS Davis with the mic! And then he fires off on Rocky! The others swarm Jack, they mug him 6v1, but here comes Luchasaurus! The fans fire up for the big reinforcements! The Callis Family watches him, that’s still a 6v2 scenario! BUT WAIT! The Bucks slide in from the crowd side! And they’re armed with chairs! They SAMCK Davis, SMACK Alexander, JAM Okada, and so on and so forth! Callis runs away, but then Luchasaurus DOUBLE CHOKE SLAMS Hechi & Clon! Okada wants mercy from his old friends, but he gets a B T E TRIGGER instead!! Callis slithers back in just to grab the money, but Luchasaurus is right behind him!
Callis fears for his life, but the fans tell him he F’d up! Callis hands the money back to The Bucks, apologizes for the problems, but then The Bucks take aim! Konosuke steps in, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS into The Alpha! The fans fire up, Rocky is back, SUPERKICKS! Then a feed to Luchasaurus! CHOKE SLAM! The fans fire up as The Elite stands tall, AND they have the money! But will they make sure the Callis Family pay in blood?
The Conglomeration celebrates backstage!
Harley, Willow, Mark Briscoe, and even Orange Cassidy are all excited for the Babes of Wrath! Roderick Strong is reluctantly here, not happy at all. Mascara Dorada & Alex Abrahantes even step in and say congrats, and then the Time Bombs are back to again hug and congratulate the champs. But will they be celebrating all through the holidays and even to World’s End?
Backstage interview with Eddie Kingston.
Renee is with the Mad King and says he is going to be in tonight’s main event, competing for the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe. She feels this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for since he came back, but how is he feeling heading into the match? Eddie says nervous, but that’s good, it keeps you on your toes. But what Eddie’s really been thinking about is that the GOAT, the late Terry Funk, it is the 50th anniversary of when he won the Worlds Championship. Eddie is hoping to make Terry proud, he hopes to make Mama & Papa Kingston proud. Okay, well, now we’re getting too emotional.
Renee says that’s okay to be emotional going into this. Well, yeah, cuz you never know how many times you’re gonna have a title shot like this. Eddie is 0-2 already, you just don’t know. Eddie wants to be cool right now, doesn’t wanna crash out, just wants to get to the match. But respect. Eddie knows Joe is watching, even as he’s probably stretching and warming up with The Opps. But Joe’s in the fight of his life, dawg, Eddie ain’t going down easy. The fans cheer that! Will we also be cheering when The Mad King finally has his crowning achievement?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He notes Eddie will get his shot in the main event, but let’s now welcome out the TNT Champion, Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as the Sussex County Chicken makes his entrance, holding up the custom title as gifted to him by Orange Cassidy. We already know that this Saturday, on a special live-from-Cardiff Collision: Winter is Coming, that title is on the line against Daniel Garcia. The fans cheer as Briscoe steps into the ring and holds up the belt again. Schiavone says yes, an early start for Collision, and Briscoe defends against Garcia of the Death Riders. Briscoe says yessir, Schiavone, it wasn’t long ago that certain individuals were saying, “Mark Briscoe can’t get it done.”
They were saying Briscoe can’t win the big one, will never be a true champion. Well, Briscoe knows the haters are still out there, but we’re here in front of the fine folks in Atlanta, Georgia, baby! The fans cheer that! Briscoe says he’s got this nice piece of shiny hardware, so what does that tell ya? Schiavone says it means Briscoe’s the champion! The fans cheer that! Briscoe then says that the doubters are out there, but he will respectfully give them a very clear and concise message: “Y’all can kiss my big white ass!” The fans cheer that! Briscoe says now, it is one thing to become a champion, but it is another to reign, and defend, and to stay a champion.
It all starts Saturday afternoon on TNT! He will defend his title against Danny Garcia in Cardiff, Wales, and- Wheeler Yuta interrupts, and says he has to stop Briscoe here before he embarrasses himself. The fans boo Yuta but Yuta says Briscoe is the epitome of low hanging fruit. Briscoe wants to be the Face of TNT, but that face has less teeth than Briscoe has children! We don’t call Briscoe “Chicken” because he’s a coward, but also because he has the mental capacity of a chicken! The fans boo and cuss out Yuta, but Yuta ignores that. Garcia says that’s a good insult, Yuta, and Garcia is sure he’s got a lot of mean and hurtful things he could say, too.
Garcia steps into the ring to stare Briscoe down, and he says he won’t say any of those insults, because he actually feels bad for Briscoe. Looking him up and down, everything about Briscoe is just sad. But what’s gonna be even sadder is when Garcia beats Briscoe on Saturday, becomes as TWO-TIME TNT Champion, and Briscoe has to figure out how to provide for his family with a broken leg. The fans boo again, but Briscoe tells “Danny Boy,” that Saturday on TNT, Garcia’s got a ass-whoopin’ coming his way. The fans cheer that! Tonight, here and now, they’re on TBS. It’d be a damn shame to deprive the viewers in Hotlanta a whoopin’ right here!
So if Garcia is feeling brave, make a move. Garcia slaps the mic away, then shoves Briscoe! Briscoe DECKS Garcia! Marina & Yuta keep Garcia from going after Briscoe again! Garcia is furious, but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Briscoe holds up the title again, will he travel across the pond and travel right back still the Face of TNT?
There’s something going on backstage!
The Triangle of Madness are tearing into more random talent! Thekla asks where Stat Daddy went, but then Kris BLASTS her outta nowhere! And she fires off on the Sisters of Sin! Kris says if Thekla wants her, she’s got her! But then she gets mugged 3v1! Kris grabs a chair! She SMACKS Skye Blue, JAMS up Julia Hart, then winds up! Thekla avoids getting squashed like the spider she is, and Kris asks what happened! Don’t they wanna fight?! The Triangle of Madness is no longer acting tough, but will Skye & Julia freeze up when they face Stat Daddy & Jamie Hayter this Saturday in Cardiff?
Tornado Tag: Hangman Page & Swerve Strickland VS Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs!
While Samoa Joe was the mastermind of the Full Gear screw job, The Millennial Cowboy & The Realest still owe the rest of The Opps for the betrayal and the disrespect shown since WrestleDream. And though they’re the unlikeliest of allies, could they become the most dangerous team AEW has ever seen? Or will The Wrestler & The Powerhouse show The Opps are #NeverLacking?
Well, speaking of never lacking, The Opps bring their dojo trainees with them as extra reinforcements. But then Hangman is making his entrance from the stands, not the ramp! And now Swerve’s entrance music begins, where is he going to enter from? Prince Nana is up in the stands, and he gets the chant started! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve is also coming in from the stands, and both he and Hangman are armed with those steel chains they strangled the trainees with! Shibata sends those pawns out after Hangman & Swerve, but they just get metal chain fists to the face! And STAPLES from Swerve!
The fans fire up as Swerve and Hangman each fight their way through the grunts, but now Shibata and Hobbs make their moves! Shibata struggles with Swerve over the staple gun, and one of the trainees takes the shot! Hobbs has a chair! Hangman avoids a shot, then fires off haymakers! This madness goes up higher into the crowd, then into the pavilion! Swerve sends Shibata into the wall! Then METAL FIST BODY SHOT! Hangman SMACKS Hobbs off the bar! And then he SMACKS Hobbs with the Christmas tree! Swerve CHOKES Shibata, SMACKS him off the merch table, but Hobbs then LOW BLOWS Hangman!
Hobbs does his best Stone Cold by two-fisting bears and chugging! Hobbs dumps the beer on Hangman, throws the tree away, and Shibata TOSSES Swerve over merch tables! But then Hangman scoops Hobbs! POWERSLAM through a TABLE! The fans fire up, Hangman gets himself a drink, and the fans cheer as he chugs it down. Shibata meanwhile makes Swerve take a seat, then throws hands. Shibata gets space, and he runs up to fake the dropkick and BOOT Swerve down instead! The fans boo but Shibata just soaks it up. The refs want this to get in the ring, they didn’t even officially start the match! But the fans don’t really mind while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Shibata CLUBS Swerve, but Swerve fireman’s carries him! SNAKE EYES off the railing! Swerve drags Shibata along to go down the bleachers now. Hangman and Hobbs are dangerously close to a ledge! Swerve and Shibata return to ground level, and Swerve BOWLS Shibata into chairs! Hangman gets away from Hobbs while Swerve drags Shibata up. Swerve makes Shibata take a seat, then he throws down hands! Hangman fires off on Hobbs! The fans fire up with Swerve as he runs up on Shibata, and he CALF KICKS! Hobbs ROCKS Hangman! Swerve drags Shibata up and continues towards ringside, THROWING him over the railing!
Hobbs fires headlock punches on Hangman, but Hangman BOOTS him in return! Swerve looks under the ring, and brings out a TABLE! Hangman HAMMERS away on Hobbs, the fans count along, and Hangman goes to TEN! Swerve SMACKS Shibata off the apron, then he puts him on the table as it leans against commentary. Dynamite returns to single picture, Swerve hops up onto the railing, but Shibata kicks the legs out! The fans boo, but then Hangman grabs a chair. Hangman stalks Hobbs into the ring while Shibata BOOTS Swerve over the railing! With Hangman and Hobbs in the ring, the match finally starts!
And then the ref takes the chair from Hangman! Tornado tag doesn’t automatically mean No Disqualification! The fans boo, but Hobbs then runs up to CLOBBER Hobbs! The fans boo but Hobbs snarls. Hobbs drags Hangman up, Shibata joins in, and Hobbs SLAMS Hangman down! Shibata suplexes Hangman, then Hobbs drags Hangman up to scoop and SLAM again! Shibata drags Hangman up to suplex again! The fans boo while Hangman flounders to the corner. Hobbs drags Hangman up, he and Shibata DOUBLE SUPLEX! Shibata stomps Hangman, the fans boo, but The Opps just soak it up. Shibata KNEES Hangman, then whips him to Hobbs for the LARIAT!
Hangman sputters to the corner, Shibata sends Hobbs in for the SPLASH! Shibata runs and HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Then a HALF HATCH! Hangman RIPCORD POWERSLAMS! The fans boo but Shibata adds a PENALTY KICK! Shibata pretends he can’t hear the fans cheering Hangman, and so the fans boo Shibata. Shibata CLUBS Hangman, stands him up, and Hobbs runs up to BODY SHOT! The fans rally for Swerve but Hobbs sets up on the apron. Nana gets on the apron?! Nana asks why they gotta do this, but Hobbs grabs Nana by the jacket! But SWERVE is back! He BOOTS Hobbs down! Hangman TOSSES Shibata!
Hangman and Swerve look to each other, and they both DIVE! They take out Hobbs and Shibata, put them both in, and then Hangman LARIATS Hobbs and himself out of the ring! Shibata fires forearms on Swerve to sit him down in the corner, then runs corner to corner, but into a HIP TOSS! And gator roll, to the suplex, but Shibata lands out! Swerve avoids the leg sweep to BOOT Shibata! Swerve puts Shibata in the corner, UPPERCUTS, then snapmares so he can go up! FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy~! The fans fire up again and Swerve aims at Shibata. “Whose House?” “SWERVE HOUSE!” But Hobbs YANKS Swerve outta the ring!
But Hangman aims at Shibata now! Hangman BOOTS Shibata, slingshots, and BUCK- NO, Shibata slips around! Hobbs is arguing with the ref, so Shibata LOW BLOWS Hangman! The fans boo but Shibata flips Hangman into an ARMBAR! But Swerve CLOBBERS Hobbs into the steps! Swerve goes up while Hangman endures, and we get KILL STOMPS on Shibata!! All four men are down and the fans are thunderous! Swerve and Hangman both stir, then rise up. The fans rally up as Hobbs returns, and it is Hangman and Swerve throwing hands back to back! Shibata and Hobbs hit back, they brawl side by side!
Hobbs runs, but Hangman and Swerve both move! Hobbs CLOBBERS Shibata! Then Hangman and Swerve ROLLING ELBOW SANDWICH! Swerve feeds Shibata to Hangman, FALL AWAY SLAM! Shibata is in place for a 450 SPLASH! Hangman kips up, he dodges Hobbs, CLUB and ROLLING FLATLINER! The fans fire up as these rivals stare down. But for all the anger they have for each other, they both look at Hobbs! Hobbs says bring it then! Hangman & Swerve slide out, and they get Hobbs off the apron! POWERBOMB down through the table!! The fans go nuts, and now Hangman aims! Slingshot, BUCKSHOT on Shibata!!
Swerve gets the last say, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” HOUSE CALL!! Cover, Hangman & Swerve win!
Winners: Hangman Page & Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Indeed, the most dangerous weren’t The Opps, it was the duo of Hangman & Swerve! But while the pawns and the knights cleared out, can Hangman and Swerve take aim right at Samoa Joe? And what of Swerve VS Josh Alexander this Saturday? Will The Realest disarm the Walking Weapon in Wales?
Don Callis speaks backstage.
“Young Bucks! You stole my money. You may think that because you’ve got possession of it somehow, that this is yours. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, but it’s not! Y’see, I am prepared to drag you through the courts and put you in the poor house to get my money back, but I would much rather get my pound of flesh! I have got all the best athletes! I’ve got Takeshita, I’ve got Okada, I’ve got Hechicero, which makes me think maybe, you two idiots should find yourselves a partner. And in Manchester, lemme get my pound of flesh and let’s go 3-on-3! My men against you and a partner, winner gets the million dollars! If you grow a set, accept.”
The Jackal thinks he can rob The Bucks of what is rightfully theirs, while also thinking he can still get Okada and Takeshita to work together. Will Matt & Nick even need a third? Or do they have just the guy to back them up?
Stokely Hathaway speaks.
“I have breaking news. It’s been an interesting few weeks because The Bang Bang Gang, they decided to be handsy with the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and be handsy with the greatest tag team alive today, FTR. Well, last week, FTR and I, we had an epiphany. See, a lot of people believe the world’s most dangerous narcotic is on the streets. That’s a lie! The most dangerous narcotic is this camera, because it causes an addiction. Everyone in AEW, when they get in front of this camera, they believe that they are great. It causes an addiction where they believe that they deserve TV time! It causes an addiction where they believe that they deserve and can win a championship.
“Well guess what, Austin Gunn? Guess what, Juice Robinson? Next week on Dynamite, Manchester, England, one of the biggest shows of the year, you will finally get that opportunity that you’ve been yearning and you’ve been begging for, because you will get a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. And when FTR beats you, they’re gonna cure you of that addiction. So, Bang Bang Gang, when you walk through customs at the end of Dynamite, you won’t be able to declare those championships. But you will be able to declare that you’re gonna be at the back of the line, and the back of the tag division, where you truly belong. Top Guys out.”
Big Stoke has big words on behalf of the champs, but will Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood still be the best tag team in AEW? Or will it be #GunsUp for the holidays?
2025 Continental Classic Gold League: Kyle Fletcher VS “Speedball” Mike Bailey!
It is first place facing last place as The Protostar and Speedball meet in the C2! Kyle is two matches in with six points, will he be a perfect 3-0? Or will the 0-1 do-or-die situation spur Bailey on towards the biggest upset so far?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as Kyle’s tearaway pants come off. Kyle and Bailey stare down, step up, and the fans duel. Kyle and Bailey nod, circle, and then tie up. Kyle powers Bailey to the ropes, backs off as the ref counts, but then swings! Bailey dodges, but Kyle blocks the rollup! Bailey avoids the stomp, but Kyle narrowly avoids a kick! The fans cheer as Kyle goes to the ropes. Bailey and Kyle stare down again, then reset to circle. They tie up, Kyle goes for the arm, then wrenches to a wristlock. Bailey rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to wristlock, hammerlock, then headlock. Kyle back suplexes, but Bailey lands out to hit a flying takeover!
Bailey tries to make this a cover, Kyle keeps his shoulders up, but Bailey pushes through, ONE as Kyle now ghost pins Bailey! TWO, and Bailey holds the headlock for a jump up the corner! Sunset flip, TWO! Kyle bails out and he’s frustrated, but Bailey eggs him on! The fans fire up all the same, and Kyle takes his time going around the outside. Kyle wants Bailey to get back, so the ref has Bailey give Kyle space. The fans rally and duel, Kyle steps onto the apron, but Bailey storms up. Kyle stays back again, and he hears the dueling. Kyle smirks, steps back in, and circles with Bailey. Kyle kicks low, then he CLUBS Bailey down!
The fans boo but Kyle mocks the chants, “Speedball Bailey~!” Then he stomps Bailey! Fans agree they like “Both These Guys!” but Kyle still stomps Bailey again! Kyle whips, Bailey handsprings, and Bailey jumps right over the sweep! Bailey ducks ‘n’ dodges, goes up and FLYING RANAS!

Kyle stands, scoops, and MICHINOKU DRIVER on the barriers!! The fans lose their minds while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Both men writhe, their backs killing them after that rough landing on the narrow target. Kyle leaves Bailey behind to roll into the ring, so now Bailey fights the ring count. Bailey rises at 5 of 10, but he slumps against the apron. Bailey is still down at 8, but he springs back in at 9! Kyle watches from the corner, and he runs up to PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO!! Bailey survives and Kyle is annoyed. Kyle paces around Bailey, drags him up, and TOSSES him out! Kyle goes out to reposition the steel steps!

But Kyle catches him again! Kyle aims for the corner, but Bailey pops up to POISON-RANA to the floor!! Both men are down again and the ref hurries to check them both.

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Kyle earns 0)
Literally a victory at the last minute! Kevin Knight rushes out here to celebrate with his friend and teammate this massive upset win over one of the best in the block! Kyle himself is absolutely stunned, but anything can happen in the C2! Will Speedball somehow make the comeback of the year? Or can Kyle course correct and still hit the mark?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is with the Cowboy, and notes that tonight, it seems like Hell has frozen over as Hangman teamed with Swerve and won. What is next for him? What is next for Hangman is the thing that has always been “next” for him: The All Elite Wrestling Men’s World Championship. Joe, Eddie, Hangman will be watching the main event. But regardless of who leaves the champion tonight, at World’s End, Hangman is coming for them, and he is coming for HIS world championship. Then just who will The Cowboy be aiming for? We’re about to find out as that main event is moments away!
The Young Bucks speak.
Matt says, “So I guess it’s official then. Next week in Manchester, Don Callis Family VS The Young Bucks in Trios action, for ALL the money. The only problem is, uh, we need a partner.” Nick asks, “What do you say, big man? Huh?” Luchasaurus is there, and he thinks about it. He shakes his head and says, “Uh-uh.” Because he points to the door of KENNY OMEGA! Well, alright, good point. The Bucks knock on the door, Kenny answers, and he asks what’s up. They ask about doing this trios thing one more time. One more time? Well, there’s a lot of money on the line… Kenny says yeah, that is a lot of money.
But Kenny isn’t gonna do this for the money. This is about Don Callis and his “family,” so he’ll do it for free. Simple as that: The Elite VS The Don Callis Family, all the money on the line. So tune in, be there or be square. Kenny will bid you adieu and all that stuff. Until we meet in Manchester, goodbye, MWAH, and good, night, BANG! THE Elite, THE THE Elite, will ride again! But will they ride off into a Manchester sunset with both money and satisfaction? Or will The Jackal have everything he wants and more?
AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe w/ Hook VS Eddie Kingston!
It is the moment of truth! The Samoan Submission Machine doesn’t care about the man he was in everyone’s eyes, he only cares about being the man on top of the mountain. But will Joe stay at the peak through this harsh Winter? Or will The Mad King send him toppling back to the bottom?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see which king reigns in AEW!
The bell rings, the two circle, and they feel things out with testing kicks and jabs. The fans all rally behind Eddie as he and Joe tie up. Joe digs his wrist into Eddie’s face, puts him in the corner, but Eddie turns it around. The ref counts, Eddie backs off cleanly and the fans applaud. Joe and Eddie reset, circle, and feel things out again. They tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, Eddie headlocks, but Joe powers up and out. The fans cheer Eddie but Hook trips him up! The fans boo and Eddie protests, but the ref says he’s got this. The ref EJECTS the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil! The fans cheer and Hook storms off in a huff.
Eddie and Joe reset while the fans cheer “Hey hey hey, goodbye~!” Joe and Eddie tie up again, Eddie headlocks, but Joe powers up. Eddie holds on tight so Joe can’t power out! Joe fights up again, powers up and SAIDOS! Eddie tumbles to ropes and is already dazed from that throw. Joe waits on Eddie to stand, and then JABS him down! And JABS again! And JABS again! And again and again and again! Joe ELBOWS Eddie down, then stalks him to ropes. Joe bumps Eddie off buckles, but Eddie fires a body shot! Joe KNEES Eddie low, CLUBS away on Eddie’s neck, then stops as the ref counts. Joe whips corner to corner, but Eddie reverses to KNEE low!
Eddie then runs and BULLDOGS Joe down! The fans fire up as Eddie shakes out his arm and stalks Joe to a corner. Eddie snarls and fights through the pain while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Eddie storms up on Joe to CHOP! And CHOP! Eddie then cravats Joe, Joe endures, but Eddie puts on more pressure. Joe fights up but Eddie fires knees! Eddie then point-blank LARIATS Joe down! Eddie goes to a corner, but he comes back to clamp onto Joe with a neck wrench! Joe backs up to the ROPEBREAK! Eddie lets go quickly, and he brings Joe up to put him in the corner. Eddie RAMS Joe again and again, then CHOPS! Joe walks it off, then comes back to CHOP Eddie! Eddie CHPOS again! Joe CHOPS again! Eddie staggers to the ropes, but he nods and comes back to CHOP! Joe CHOPS again! The CHOPS go back and forth!
Eddie staggers, that last one got him up high. Joe brings Eddie around to fire forearms, then UPPERCUTS! Joe runs, but Eddie CHOPS him down! Now Joe is stinging from that one! Eddie shakes out his arms, then stalks Joe to a corner. Eddie clamps onto Joe, then throws down hands, Eddie CHOPS, Joe CHOPS, so Eddie CHOPS again! Eddie ROCKS Joe with a haymaker, then follows Joe to another corner. Eddie CHOPS, and Joe staggers before dropping to a knee. Dynamite returns to single picture once more, Eddie drags Joe up, and Eddie ROCKS him with a forearm! Joe ELBOWS Eddie, ROCKS him, but Eddie fires fast hands!
Eddie UPPERCUTS Joe and the fans fire up again! Joe tumbles to the ropes, Eddie storms up and KICKS him in the back! Eddie eggs Joe on while he kicks and scuffs him. Joe stands up to KICK and KICK and KICK in return! Eddie fires a flurry of forearms! Joe fires back! Eddie fires fast hands again! Then a SLAP! But Joe fires a furious flurry in return! Joe SMACKS Eddie, then runs, but into a LARIAT!! The fans are thunderous while Eddie leans on the ropes. The ref checks Eddie, Eddie is a bit dazed, but he’s otherwise still in this. Joe manages to stand, and Eddie runs in! But into the URENAGE! Joe wobbles a bit but he has a wry smile.
Joe waits for Eddie to be in the corner, and he runs up to ELBOW and PELE! Eddie slumps down, but Joe steps on him! The fans boo and the ref counts, but Joe scrubs Eddie’s face with his foot. Joe runs side to side to BOOT WASH! The fans boo while Eddie clutches his face. Eddie crawls to ropes, Joe sits on him to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Joe steps off at 4, and Eddie flounders around again. Joe stalks Eddie while the fans rally as hard as they can. Joe CHOPS and JABS Eddie, then HEADBUTTS him down! Eddie sputters but he sits back up. Joe drags Eddie up to ROCK him, ROCK him again, but Eddie CHOPS! Joe fires another forearm!
Eddie wobbles, but he fires up to CHOP, CHOP, and run, to LARIAT! But Joe is still up! Eddie runs again, another LARIAT! Joe is still standing, so Eddie runs, but into the SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Eddie survives the sudden turnaround and the fans rally up as hard as they can for him! Joe is annoyed by that, and he drags Eddie up to knee again and again! Eddie fires up to CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! But Joe fires more of those knees! Eddie roars to CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! Joe gives Kawada Kicks now! Eddie is dazed again, Joe runs, but into an EXPLODER!! Cover, TWO!!! Joe survives and Eddie is frustrated, but the fans continue to rally!
Eddie drags Joe up, reels him in, but Joe wrenches out! Joe fireman’s carries, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Then he turns Eddie over STF!! Joe is shouting out the Never-Seen Seventeen, and he even salutes! But Eddie BITES Joe’s hand!! Joe freaks out, the ref reprimands, but Eddie kicks low and DDTS! But Joe flops out of the ring! Joe survives perhaps on luck alone! Eddie hurries out after Joe, drags him up, and he puts Joe in the ring. Eddie hurries back in now, and he brings down the straps! The fans fire up for the URA- NO, Joe blocks the punch to HEADBUTT! Joe runs, but Eddie SWATS the lariat to CUTTER!
The fans fire up and Eddie winds up! URAK- NO, Joe ducks! COQUINA CLUTCH!!! Eddie is caught in the body scissors, too!! The fans rally as hard as they can, but Eddie is already fading! EDDIE TAPS!!! JOE WINS!!!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
Eddie put up the fight of his life, but he sadly could not dethrone Samoa Joe! Was Joe right? Will Eddie never live up to his fullest potential? And as for Joe himself, Hangman already said he’s coming back for this title. Will they go one more round at World’s End?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Winter is Coming for Dynamite, they pulled out all the stops to make this borderline a free PPV. The Women’s Tag Team Championships opening was the right choice, that was awesome stuff from all four women. Truly awesome for Harley & Willow to win and be the inaugural champions. I loved their little celebration backstage with Conglomeration and pouty Roddy, too, that was a nice touch. And of course, awesome stuff in both Continental Classic matches we got tonight. Bailey VS Fletcher was itself PPV worthy, and I did NOT think Bailey was winning, so that is awesome in itself.
Okada VS Perry was about how I expected, though, and I appreciate it feeding into the larger Don Callis Family VS Elite story. Jack turning DCF down was good stuff, and I liked that the Bucks got the money back, but of course Callis wasn’t going to just accept that. Don Callis foolishly thinking Okada and Takeshita are still going to work together is a dead giveaway his team is losing, but so is the fact Kenny Omega is the third man. The Elite will win, have the money, and could even make this a resurgence towards titles. If that were to happen, it should be the Trios titles so they can feud with The Opps while DCF and Death Riders act on the feuds they teased.
Swerve & Hangman VS Shibata & Hobbs was a great tornado tag, though obviously it was more a glorified brawl that then turned into a match. Great win for Hangman & Swerve, and of course Hangman wants his shot next, but I feel like he and Swerve will end up literally fighting over that shot. I thought the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal was gonna be the route, but maybe neither of them wins that, someone else is poised for Maximum Carnage, and we still get Joe VS Hangman in 2025 Round 3 to determine who also goes to Maximum Carnage. Also, I’m very curious if MJF is going to return for the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal to retain the one thing he’s always had while in AEW. Personally, even if he does return, he should lose so that someone else can finally have that ring.
Though MJF would of course want to come back for revenge on Mark Briscoe, wouldn’t he? Briscoe had a very good promo with Garcia to hype up their TNT Championship match this Saturday. Moxley and Garcia also had a good promo beforehand, and I feel like we’re just one more loss away for Moxley’s leadership to be truly in question. If Moxley doesn’t win the C2, him having to fight for his leadership role in the faction he helped make would be a great part of World’s End. Either Claudio or Pac should step up to be the new leader if that happens, they’re the experienced veterans and can certainly give Moxley one hell of a match.
Joe VS Eddie was definitely one hell of a match, too, but it felt pretty clear that Eddie wasn’t winning. As much as fans rally like Eddie, it just doesn’t seem to be Eddie’s time to be AEW World Champion. At this point, I think the story needs to be Eddie and Hook having it out over how Hook betrayed Eddie as much as he did everyone else. Even if Eddie doesn’t want to, I could see Hook egging him on and beating him up until Eddie has no choice but to fight Hook and maybe humble him, if only for a moment. If Eddie isn’t going to be a world champion, he’ll be a guy who does great story and teaches life lessons.
My Score: 9.2/10

Who stayed hot to start December?
The Continental Classic is getting complicated with the staggered schedule. But did winners keep on winning? Did losers keep on losing?
Here are the current Gold League standings!
- Kyle Fletcher: 2-0, 6 points
- Kazuchika Okada: 1-1, 3 points
- PAC: 1-1, 3 points
- Kevin Knight: 1-1, 3 points
- “Speedball” Mike Bailey: 0-1, 0 points
- Darby Allin: 0-1, 0 points [INJURED] Subbing: “Jungle” Jack Perry
Here are the current Blue League standings!
- Claudio Castaganoli: 2-1, 6 points
- Konosuke Takeshita: 2-0, 6 points
- Jon Moxley: 1-2, 3 points
- Orange Cassidy: 1-1, 3 points
- Mascara Dorada: 1-1, 3 points
- Roderick Strong: 0-2, 0 points
A real shame about Darby Allin, but that’s assuming this is real and not kayfabe for the story. Jack Perry is a good choice for subbing him in since he’s feuding with the Don Callis Family alongside the newly reunited Elite. And great upset win for Dorada over Claudio this week, too. Claudio and Moxley have already had three of their five matches, they might be given a week off so Jack Perry and Mike Bailey can get their matches in, and I would also hope the Death Riders start considering their options given Moxley keeps losing more than he’s winning.
