Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Jon Moxley.
Lexy Nair wants to ask for a moment of their time, but Red Death says he already knows what she’s gonna ask, and he already knows what he’s gonna say. Tonight, he drops off the dead weight he’s been carrying, and that is Daddy Magic. Garcia appreciates all the love Matt Menard had, and all the sacrifices he made for Garcia. The blood, sweat, and tears. But tonight, Garcia only needs Menard to bleed one last time. That won’t be in vain, because Menard’s been there for every big match, every big moment, like when Garcia won the TNT Championship. And when Garcia gets through Menard, he’ll just go for that title again, and Menard won’t be by his side for any of it.
Garcia heads out, Moxley nods and feels just as pumped. But will the Dragonslayer destroy Daddy Magic once and for all?
Backstage interview with #Brodido.
Renee Paquette is with Brody King & Bandido, and notes that was a really tough this loss at Full Gear, no longer AEW World Tag Team Champions. They had so much success this year, where do they go from here? Bandido says he feels a bit sad, because they lost those titles because of him. But he also feels very proud. Brodido has made so much for him, Brody is like a brother to him. Brody taught Bandido how to fight, how to never stop fighting, and next time they get at those titles, Bandido will not let that happen again. Brody says unlike FTR, those titles aren’t the only thing that keeps them alive.
Bandido is right, they are brothers. Brody is proud of what they did the last few months. That is not over. it doesn’t have to be over. Brodido will be fighting for the tag titles for a very long time! But next Friday, Bandido has his ROH World Championship, he has Final Battle, and they all know what he has to do to prepare for that. Don’t be sad, be proud! Be the fighting champion you are! Walk in and walk out of Columbus, Ohio still the ROH World Champion! They secret handshake and finger gun, but Bandido’s going to be up against Blake Christian, Beast Mortos, Sammy Guevara, Komander and Komander in a SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST match! Will the Most Wanted survive his Final Battle?
Daniel Garcia w/ Jon Moxley VS Matthew Menard!
We just heard Red Death vow to be the death of Daddy Magic, but now it is time to put up or shut up! Will there be no thanks given here tonight?
The bell rings and Moxley joins commentary. Menard eggs Garcia on, calling him Moxley’s b*tch! The two tie up, go around, and Moxley says Garcia is a future top guy. Menard puts Garcia in the corner, eggs him on, then backs off as the ref counts. Garcia waits until Menard is all the way back, then he steps out. The two circle, tie up, and Menard powers Garcia back. Garcia turns things around to push Menard into the corner. The ref counts, Garcia lets off, but then e SLAPS Menard! Menard SHOVES Garcia! Menard tells Garcia to get up, and Garcia says this is what Menard wants. Garcia swings, but Menard puts him in the corner!
Menard rains down fists, Garcia stops him at five, but Menard CLUBS away on Garcia for the rest! Garcia bails out, wags his finger, but Menard pursues. Garcia kicks low, whips, but Menard reverses to send Garcia into railing! Menard calls Moxley a piece of crap, then he rains down fists on Garcia! Garcia shoves Menard away again, then hurries around the way. Menard catches up, SMACKS him off the steps, and the fans fire up! Menard rains down more fists, Garcia slips away again, and Menard is getting frustrated. Menard THROWS a chair, storms into the ring, but Garcia fires off on him in the corner!
The fans boo, Garcia HEADBUTTS again and again, then KNEES Menard again and again! The ref backs Garcia off, Garcia soaks up the heat, and he taunts the fans. The fans boo more but Moxley says, “You show the people the difference, Danny!” Garcia raises the dukes, but then flips them all off instead. Menard is busted open, just like Garcia wanted, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Garcia grins as he walks up to Menard, and he shows off the bloody forehead while he CHOKES Menard! Garcia then throws hands, DECKS Menard, and CHOKES him with a foot in the corner! The ref counts, Garcia backs off, and Garcia paces around. Garcia stands Menard up to bump off buckles, then he climbs up to rain down fists! The ref counts, but Garcia goes to TEN! Garcia huffs ‘n’ puffs while Menard sputters against the ropes. But Menard CHOPS! Garcia BOOTS him down! Garcia stomps away on Menard, stands on him, then flexes. Menard fights out from under but that crimson mask is growing. Garcia hits a headlock takeover!
Garcia squeezes Menard, grinds his forearm into the bloody wound, then BITES Menard’s forehead! The ref reprimands, Garcia stops, and Menard sputters again while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Garcia has Menard in the BOSTON CRAB! Menard endures, powers up, and the fans rally as he turns things over! Menard BOOTS Garcia, teetertotters, and now Menard has the legs! He turns Garcia over for a BOSTON CRAB! Garcia endures but Moxley coaches him through. Garcia fights forward, ROPEBREAK! Menard lets go and Garcia drags himself out of the ring. The fans fire up with Menard as he goes out, but Garcia kicks low! DDT to the floor! The fans rally for Menard as the ring count climbs, but Garcia rises up. Garcia refreshes the count and says he’s not done with Menard yet!
Garcia drags Menard up, and SMACKS him off the desk! And SMACKS him again! And again! Menard flops onto the desk and Moxley says keep the foot on the gas. Garcia brings Menard around, Menard shoves him away, but he can barely stand. Garcia wedges Menard between steel steps and post! The fans boo but Garcia runs up, and he DROPKICKS the steel steps! The fans boo as Garcia leaves Menard behind. Garcia wants the ring count to handle this, and the count begins. The fans rally as Menard sputters, Moxley rants about how wrestling, and certainly not AEW, is supposed to be pretty or anything.
Menard rises, and he leaps in at 9.5!! The fans fire up as Menard eggs Garcia on, but then Menard drops to his knees. Garcia looms over Menard, but Menard rises up again. Menard puts up his dukes, and he does the dance! But then Garcia takes a swing! Menard ducks and rolls him up, TWO! Garcia CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Menard returns those CHOPS! They fire fast hands, the fans fire up, and Menard gets a flurry of forearms in there! The ref has to back Menard off from the corner, but Garcia SHOTGUNS Menard down! Then the BULLY CHOKE, right outta Moxley’s page! Menard endures, reaches out, but he is OUT!! Garcia wins!
Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission
Moxley says it had to happen this way, and Garcia is the real pro here. Garcia tells Menard he got what he wanted, and he thanks Menard for everything. But wait! Here comes Mark Briscoe! The NEW TNT Champion shows off the new custom belt gifted to him by Orange Cassidy, and he goes right to the ring, mic already in hand. The fans cheer, but Moxley says Briscoe won’t do anything about it. The fans chant for “DEM BOYS!” and Briscoe says, “Now here on this sacred day of the Giving of Thanks, I am extremely thankful to be in the great city of Nashville, baby! And I am thankful, and I am humbled, to be YOUR TNT Champion!”
The fans cheer more, and even add, “You Deserve It!” Moxley gets off commentary to tell Garcia something, but Briscoe tells “Young Danny” that he is thankful that Garcia did what he did. Briscoe was having a hard time deciding who would be the first man he knocks off as TNT Champion. Garcia goes and says he was gunning for this title, a title Garcia once held himself. Well then, let’s make it plain and simple: Briscoe ain’t ducking or dodging, and he doesn’t need to hear anymore! But to give some advice, don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash! But just like Briscoe will finish off his turkey and his deviled eggs, some macaroni ‘n’ cheese…
He’ll dust it off with pumpkin pie and whip cream on top! Then he’ll devour Garcia! They get face to face, but Garcia backs off! The fans boo but clearly Moxley’s advice came through. When and where will Garcia choose to #ManUp and fight the Sussex County Chicken?
Ricochet & The Demand speak.
Bishop Kaun applauds and says, “Rejoice! He has fulfilled his quest for gold. The first-ever AEW National Champion! The Light-skinned Kingpin himself.” Ricochet thanks Kaun for the intro, and he says he is THE inaugural AEW National Champion! And y’know what that means? That means he sets the tone. Ricochet is the trendsetter! People pretend like they don’t know what he’s capable of, but all that proves to him is just how stupid they are! Ricochet knows what he’s capable of, of what he can do, that in his short time in AEW, he has done everything he has set out to do! Will Ospreay: Beat ’em. Swerve Strickland: Beat ’em. Mark Briscoe: Beat ’em.
Kyle Fletcher: Beat ’em! Hurt Syndicate: Beat ’em! Put them in front of The Demand, The Demand mows ’em down! But today he comes in peace, because today is Thanksgiving. There is a lot he can be thankful for, like how he doesn’t have to be in the Continental Classic cuz he’s already champion! And all of you should be thankful for a champion like Ricochet! A champion who has elevated AEW, who has set a new tone in AEW, and a champion who will travel the globe to represent AEW to the highest degree. A champion where the best wrestle. And two of the best decisions he ever made was aligning himself with two of the baddest men in AEW!
It was through the Gates of Agony that the quest for gold was successful! Liona then speaks up that they will now show their appreciation. Liona has arranged reservations for the best five-star restaurant in Nashville. However, that still doesn’t mean much. But they promise a feast fit for a king! AHA~! The Demand heads out, but who will be first for The One & Only to defend that title against?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
“As everyone knows by now, we crowned brand new world tag team championships at Full Gear last Saturday. Third time, here they are, alongside Big Stoke, F T R!” The fans boo as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are once again champions, and that they once again make their way out here, Stokely Hathaway by their side. They go to the ring, Stokely tells Schiavone to GIT, so Schiavone obliges. Stoke says, “Tonight, tonight, tonight is the greatest night of my life! Why? Because FTR are the AEW World Tag Team Champions!” The fans boo, but Stokely says what we saw last Saturday was nothing but a spectacle!
We saw it all from top to bottom, but the one match everyone talked about was FTR VS Brodido! Another classic in the book of FTR! And for those of you who don’t know, allow Stoke to share the “lore” of FTR. Imagine two 16-year-old kids from Ashville, North Carolina. Every obstacle put forth in their way, they found a way to prevail, and here they are! Fans boo more but Stokely says he is truly humbled and privileged to introduce the ELEVEN-TIME World Tag Team Champions, THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions! Nashville, give it up for F T R! But wait, the lights go down!? “By order of the Bang Bang Gang… GUNNS UP!”
The fans fire up as Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson make their way out, joining FTR in the ring. Stokely tells Bang Bang Gang they have no idea who they’re messing with! Stokely was not done talking! But then Austin brushes him aside! Austin says now, now, being as they were the last team to pin FTR, allow them and Nashville to be the first to congratulate FTR for becoming 11-time World Tag Team Champions. The fans still boo, but Austin says, “Now put your guns up if you’re sick and tired of FTR!” The fans indeed put up their finger guns, and Juice stops Dax from talking!
“Just because FTR is the greatest tag team of all time doesn’t mean we all wanna hear it again. We get it, you’re the best. You’re better than Rock ‘n’ Roll, you’re better than Midnight Express, you’re blah blah blah, we’re not gonna take anything away from you two, we know how good you are. But last week, the Bang Bang Gang won 200 THOUSAND DOLLARS! So we got a little bit o’ green, sorry, but we just might want a little bit o’ gold~! Three weeks ago, the Bang Bang Gang beat FTR right smack dab in the middle of the ring. And that wasn’t the first time that happened, was it? No, I think that’s happened a few times before.
“Look at me, both of you, come here right now. I want you to know I’m dead serious, I’m not jacking around. I promise you, it’s gonna happen again. We don’t care where, we don’t care when, all’s we care about, all’s the Bang Bang Gang cares about, is the next time that FTR faces the Bang Bang Gang, those titles are on the line!” The fans cheer that! Dax says never touch his belt! Never interrupt- Austin SLAPS the mic down! Juice says maybe, just maybe, next time, it doesn’t matter if it takes an hour, but next time is the Bang Bang Gang’s time!
Austin says they aren’t just fighting for themselves! They’re fighting for Colten injured at home! They’re fighting for Jay White, injured at home! And they’re fighting for everyone in the house right now that still rocks with the Bang Bang Gang! And if you’re not down with that, they’ve got two words for ya: GUNNS UP!! The challenge has been issued, but when and where will the look to have some Bullet Club gold?
MXM TV Casting Call: ???
For whatever reason, the fabulous four is dressed as Dorothy and her friends from Wizard of Oz. Isn’t it a little late for Halloween? But that aside, Mansoor says, “MXM TV kindly requests you lollipop lickin’, yellow brick layin’ munchkins SHUUUUT UUUP~!” The fans boo instead. Mansoor says do not be deceived by how they are dressed. The only ones with no guts, no heart, and no brain are the idiots in Nashville! The fans boo but Mansoor says you don’t need a brain to know that this is the Casting Call! Any combination of anyone in the back against any combination of MXM TV! Now, they’re off to see whose asses they’re kicking tonight!
The fans boo, but Arkady Aura announces it is a TRIOS match! Their opponents? Dalton Castle & The Outrunners! Will The Peacock & The Youngest Men Alive make MXM TV click their heels and wish this was all a dream? Or will things get wicked for good?
The trios sort out, but MXM TV attacks from behind! The fans boo as Mansoor stomps Truth, Mason TOSSES Turbo, and Johnny TOSSES Castle! There’s history between Johnny and Castle, but the bell rings as MXM mugs Truth while Johnny RAMS Castle into the apron! Taya joins in, roll and POEWRBOMB into Castle! Mansoor rains down fists, 6-7~, but then Truth powers up! Mason saves Mansoor, but Castle YANKS Mason down! Truth POWERBOMBS Mansoor! The fans fire up and Truth crawls for the corner. He dodges Johnny, hot tag to Turbo! Turbo fires off haymakers on Johnny and Mansoor, then scoop SLAMS Mansoor!
Scoop SLAM for Johnny! Mason LEG LARIATS! The fans boo but Mason tags Mansoor back in. Mansoor and Mason mock the “YOU SON OF A B*TCH!” Tip touch and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP MISSES as Turbo dodges! Hot tag back to Castle, and he’s still in his Elvis suit! Castle dodges the leg lariat and Mason gets stuck on his cowardly lion! The Outrunners shake Mason while Castle THROWS Johnny! And THROWS Mansoor! And then he THROWS Johnny again! The Outrunners ROCK Mason, Castle grabs him for a THROW! The fans fire up and Mansoor gets TOTAL RECALL!! But that’s not all as Castle sets Mansoor up!
“TURBO FLOYD! YOU SON OF A B*TCH!” DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Then the BANGARAAANG~! Cover, #CastleRunners win!
Winners: Dalton Castle & The Outrunners, by pinfall
MXM TV is melting~, melting~! But will The Peacock and his new flock soon head for some gold? But wait, Ricochet walks out and says turn the crappy music off. The fans boo, Ricochet says do NOT do that! Do you know that he is the AEW National Champion? And these three are in HIS ring! Castle finally takes his suit off, but Ricochet says turn around and get this beating. Kaun is there to SHOTGUN Castle! Then he fires hands with Truth while Liona CLOBBERS Turbo! Ricochet says this is what happens when you get in HIS ring. Honestly, this whole segment should’ve been about HIS championship celebration!
Liona HEADBUTTS Truth, then he and Kaun DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Ricochet says take Turbo out, and the Gates DOUBLE SPINEBUSTER! Then Castle is up, but they OPEN THE GATES!! Ricochet says the fans should all be giving him the respect he deserves, the respect that he earned! The fans still boo, but Ricochet says okay, fine. Ladies and gentlemen, if you aren’t aware, but it is country music star, Tim McGraw! Joking, he knows it is Michael Ray. Ricochet taunts Ray, saying he can play guitar and sing and all, but he could never make it on this side of the railing. But then Ray SHOVES Ricochet!
Ricochet is upset! C’mon then, Ray! Security has everyone back off, even as Ricochet keeps egging Ray on. Ray hops the railing, Ricochet swipes at him, but he also has The Demand backing him up. The One & Only’s ego is growing, but will anyone ever deflate it?
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Lexy Nair is with Rocky Romero, CLØN, Hechicero, Josh Alexander, Mark Davis, Kyle Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita, Kazuchika Okada and The Jackal, Don Callis, himself. She asks what they’re all thankful for this year on Thanksgiving. Callis starts by saying he is thankful that after this past Wednesday, The Don Callis Family has three points in the Continental Classic. But he’d also like to hear from the lads. Rocky, tell ’em. Azucar says he is thankful for this sweet new Don Callis Family jacket! Callis advertises that those are “only” $300 over at the Callis family shop.
Rocky passes it to Hechi, and the Wizard says he is so thankful for all the money he is making as the top name in CMLL, all thanks to the familia! Viva la Don Callis Familia! Mark Davis says, “I’m thankful for nothing and grateful for even less.” Callis says what a miserable bastard, he loves it! The Walking Weapon says he is thankful for Callis’ wisdom! The Protostar is thankful that he has his health, and the wealth, baby~! The Alpha says he is thankful to be in the Continental Classic, and for this family. He and Callis hug it out and the others are touched. And that leaves The Rainmaker for last. He is thankful that… He no longer has to team with Takeshita.
The tension returns as Takeshita stare Okada down. Takeshita tells Okada off in Japanese but the others stay between them. Fletcher especially steps in, but will everything (not) be alright for the family as we enter the holiday season?
Eddie Kingston VS Katsuyori Shibata!
The Mad King swept the betrayal by Hook under the rug to aim right for the AEW World Champion, Samoa Joe. But he knows that he can’t just get a title shot, and certainly not while “The One True King of Wrestling Television” has his pawns around. Will Eddie take this “knight” off the board? Or will The Wrestler end Eddie’s quest for revenge before it even begins?
Well heck, Shibata doesn’t even wait for Eddie to be in the ring! As soon as Eddie reaches the apron, Shibata goes after him! The fans fire up as these two brawl on the ramp! Shibata CLUBS Eddie, stomps him down, then chases him to the floor. The brawl keeps going, the fans rally up, and Shibata whips to send Eddie hard into railing! Eddie staggers around, Shibata grabs a chair, and he SLAPS Eddie with the railing guard! Eddie fires hands in return, and Eddie sees that chair! Shibata stops the bump to SMACK Eddie off the chair! Shibata then gets space, runs up, and feints the dropkick just to BOOT Eddie down!
The fans boo but Shibata soaks up all the heat. Shibata puts the chair back against railing, brings Eddie around, and puts him in the ring. The ref checks, Eddie just CHOPS Shibata, so the bell rings! Eddie CHOPS again, and the fans “WOO~!” Shibata knees low, whips, but Eddie reverses to KNEE and BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! The fans cheer, Eddie covers, TWO! The fans rally for Eddie and he drags Shibata up. But Shibata RAMS Eddie into the corner, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Shibata stops, but then he CHOKES Eddie again! The ref counts, Eddie CHOPS Shibata! Shibata gets around, SNAP GERMAN!
Eddie flounders away and the fans boo, but Shibata soaks up more heat. Shibata storms up on Eddie, digs his boot in, but the ref counts. Shibata stops at 4, then digs his boots in again. The ref counts, Shibata steps off, and Shibata snapmares Eddie to a hammerlock. Shibata then CRANKS the arm into a double wristlock! He isolates the arm, and STOMPS it! Eddie writhes, goes to a corner, but Shibata KNEES low! Eddie guzels but Shibata KNEES low again, then snapmares. Shibata isolates the arm and STOMPS it again! And again! Eddie goes to the ropes but Shibata CLUBS him! Shibata wrenches the arm to double wristlock!
Eddie fights but Shibata still wrangles him. Shibata puts on the pressure, wants the armbar, but Eddie rolls to the ROPEBREAK! Shibata lets go but gives a kick. Then Shibata has Eddie in the corner, fires hands, but Eddie fires back! They go forearm for forearm, Shibata gets the edge, and Shibata backs off. Shibata stomps Eddie back down, digs his boot in again, but stops as the ref counts 4. Eddie snarls but Shibata stomps him again! Shibata drags Eddie up again, and snapmares while Collision goes picture in picture.
Shibata scrapes Eddie’s face with his soles! The ref reprimands but Shibata CLUBS Eddie! And stomps him! And CHOPS him on the back! Eddie gest mad no! Eddie takes the straps down, and he CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS in return! Eddie nods and puts some stank on the CHOP! Shibata CHOPS again! Eddie paces, Shibata eggs him on, so Eddie winds up to CHOP again! Shibata is stinging but he still CHOPS back! Eddie storms up to CHOP again! The CHOPS keep going back and forth, again and again! Eddie CHOPS, CHOPS, CHPOS, but then Shibata CHOPS! Eddie goes to a corner, Shibata runs up and BOOTS him!
Eddie staggers around, Shibata CLUBS him, then UPPERCUTS! Eddie falls back but Shibata brings him up to CHOP! Shibata runs, BOOTS Eddie, but Eddie ENZIGIRIS! Shibata staggers back, Eddie storms up, and Eddie turns Shibata for a NECKBREAKER! Shibata staggers away to a corner but Eddie runs up, LARIAT! Eddie fires the fans up with the MACHINEGUN CHOPS! Eddie then clinches, but Shibata fights back! STO! Shibata clamps on a chinlock but Eddie fights to his feet! Eddie goes to the ROPEBREAK, but Shibata KNEES low and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Shibata roars, then he drags Eddie back up. But Eddie clinches first! EXPLODER!
Thanksgiving Collision returns and Eddie rises again. Eddie clinches, Shibata switches, and Shibata LOW BLOWS?! It was disguised as going for the pump handle but the ref doesn’t trust that! The ref has Shibata let go of Eddie, the fans chant, “Ref You Suck!” Shibata runs up, but Eddie BOOTS him! And DDTS! Cover, EDDIE WINS!
Winner: Eddie Kingston, by pinfall
Shibata got away with one, but Eddie made him pay for it! The Mad King overcomes The Wrestler, but he gets the mic. “I will not speak on what Hook did because look, Hook is still my boy. You make decisions in your life that you gotta deal with. Hook, he did what he did, now he’s gotta pay with Hangman and Swerve. But there’s, uh…” The fans cheer Eddie, someone even shouts, “We Love You, Eddie!” Eddie says it is crazy. He didn’t wanna accept that love. If they wanna shoot, let’s shoot. Eddie didn’t wanna accept love cuz he didn’t feel he deserved it. That’s just the way Eddie is, he isn’t doing it for chants or nothing, that’s just him.
The fans applaud that, but Eddie continues by saying he doesn’t do things to get himself over, he’s not some actor. Eddie IS pro-wrestling! The fans fire up for that! Eddie says when they say they love him, nah! He loves the fans because the fans love pro-wrestling! The fans cheer that even more! Eddie says he wakes up every day, not knowing if he’ll live or die, because who knows. But this is not BS, this is not for chants or for social media. By the way, F social media. Eddie doesn’t do this for that. He does this because there’s some little kid out there who loves pro-wrestling and is getting inspired to be in this business! By the way, don’t do it.
But hey, he looks at Samoa Joe, someone who Eddie once idolized, who had one of the greatest championship runs in American wrestling history in ROH! And now we see what Joe is doing with The Opps, that Joe is gonna lead Hook down the wrong path! But y’know what? Before Joe can corrupt Hook, before Joe can come out here and say he’s the real AEW World Champion, Joe needs to look at Eddie’s eyes. Cameraman, zoom in, thank you very much. Eddie tells Joe that he was out for 18 months with a knee injury, and all he could think about was getting back in this ring because this ring gives him peace. The only thing that gives him peace is fighting!
So Joe, Eddie says on December 10th, Winter is Coming, don’t be a p*ssy and defend that title against him!! The fans fire up as The Mad King issues his challenge! He even picks up a young fan to have them join in with the celebration! Will Hotlanta burn up the winter chill now that Eddie and Joe are fighting for the gold?
Red Velvet speaks.
The Chef applauds and sarcastically says, “Congratulations. Kris Statlander, Mercedes Mone, WOW! What a bout you guys had at full gear. Stat Daddy got her big one, Mone put up a great fight. Thirteen belts, going for fourteen. Well, I guess 13 wasn’t so lucky, now was it? Now, I’ve been watching you real close. And I went back to watch our match. And I realized the only reason you beat me is cuz you found an opening and you took it. So congratulations. But if I know anything about you, it’s that you’re a fighting champion, and so was I. And the last time I checked, I’ve never seen you at ROH. So at Final Battle, I want my rematch!”
The Chef will get her wish, as TK has just approved it! Mone VS Velvet 2, live in Columbus, Ohio on Friday, December 5th! Will Velvet cook Mone once and for all? Or will that Money Train keep on rolling towards the New Year?
Thekla VS Tay Melo!
The Toxic Spider and the Brazilian Blackbelt are both itching for a fight, so it seems they’re both willing to oblige. But will “you scratch my back, I scratch yours” turn into a rather vicious showdown in the background of the AEW Women’s Tag Team Tournament?

Tay slaps herself to fire back up, and she hooks Thekla up in a Gory Especial. Thekla fights it, stomps away on Tay’s foot, and then KICKS the leg! Tay hobbles, but she comes back! Thekla goes Matrix, then SPIDER SPEAR!! Thekla isn’t done, she runs to CURB STOMP!! Cover, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by pinfall
A gritty fight, but Thekla stands tall over Tay quite literally. And now Julia & Skye make their way out. The Triangle of Madness stomps away on Tay! The fans boo, but Julia CLAWS Skye’s face! Anna Jay isn’t here tonight, but JAMIE HAYTER is! The fans fire up as Jamie gets in there, but that’s still a 3v1 situation! WAIT! Kris Statlander rushes out to run The Triangle of Madness off! The Galaxy’s Greatest dares someone to bring the fight, but The Triangle leaves it at this. Will one of them look to go after Stat Daddy’s gold?
2025 Continental Classic Blue League: Konosuke Takeshita VS Roderick Strong!
Thanksgiving saved the main course for the main event as THE IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, the winner of the 2025 G1 Climax, is now ready to prove he can win any round robin he enters! But will Takeshita prove he is the Alpha of Blue League? Or will The Savior of the Backbreaker win this one for Kyle O’Reilly?
Callis is again on commentary so he can keep an eye on this match since he is not allowed ringside as a manager. The bell rings, Konosuke and Roddy circle, and they tie up. The fans rally for Roddy as they go around, and Konosuke puts Roddy on the ropes. The ref counts, Konosuke backs off, and the two reset. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, then Konosuke puts the pressure on Roddy. Roddy drops to his knees, but then he shoots for a leg! Roddy trips Konosuke up, headlocks, but Konosuke trips him now. Konosuke facelocks, Roddy fights up, and the fans cuss out Callis despite him having done nothing.
Roddy and Konosuke stand, Roddy wrenches and YANKS the arm. Konosuke wrenches, slips through, and wristlocks back. Roddy powers through to wrench and hammerlock then headlock.

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Strong earns 0)
Don Callis immediately leaves commentary to celebrate with his Alpha, another three points on the board for the Family. But will Konosuke be able to keep up this pace? Or will he have to fight even harder to reach World’s End?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, even for being prerecorded last night. If you don’t believe me, notice how the crowd audio was muted when they were cussing out Callis. With that, great Continental Classic matches here tonight to wrap up the first round. Pac of course beat Bailey to keep pace with the other Death Riders, and Takeshita of course beat Roddy to A) keep pace with Fletcher and B) outdo Okada since Okada already lost. The second round having Okada VS Pac AND Moxley VS Claudio is awesome, both of those matches could go either way, but if anything, Okada needs this win to rebound.
Garcia had a good promo before his really good match with Menard, and of course Garcia won that. Briscoe confronting Garcia about the TNT Championship was a good promo, and they’ll have a great match, whether at Winter is Coming or at World’s End. Eddie VS Shibata was great, and a great win for Eddie there. His promo was even better than that, with him sharing some real feelings while also circling back to story. Joe VS Eddie at Winter is Coming will be another great match, can’t wait to see it, even though I would think The Opps screw Eddie over. But as I said last night, we could get a Six Man Tag of Hangman, Swerve & Eddie VS Hook, Shibata & Hobbs before figuring out who faces Joe at World’s End.
Very good promo from Red Velvet to call out Mone and call for the rematch. Mone VS Velvet 2 at Final Battle will be great stuff, and I personally hope this is the beginning of “The Downfall of The CEO,” where Mone loses all her extra belts outside of the TBS Championship. They can even top it off where her challenger for the TBS title is a returning Hikaru Shida or Thunder Rosa. A shame Kamille didn’t work out, because the story would easily be Kamille dominating Mone as payback for being dumped.
Very good match from Tay VS Thekla, though the crowd didn’t seem to have much energy for it. Thekla of course won, and The Triangle of Madness of course attacked, but Jamie and Kris making the save further alludes to Anna Jay’s own exit from AEW. But this still creates a good Six Woman Tag idea of Triangle of Madness VS Kris, Jamie & Tay before we likely get Thekla VS Kris for the title. Brodido had a very good promo to promise that they’re sticking together, and to also segue into how Final Battle will be Survival of the Fittest now. A shame about Rush, he basically just got back, and this even brings into question how the ROH World Tag titles will be handled. But if Bandido were to ever lose this title, Survival of the Fittest is the way to beat him.
MXM TV were hilarious as always, and they were clearly plugging Wicked For Good, now out in theaters. But great win for Castle & Outrunners from this match, and given that interaction with Ricochet & The Demand, I would think Ricochet VS Castle is the match for the AEW National Championship at Final Battle. Castle is a great wrestler, and is a former ROH World Champion, so he and Ricochet can have a real show stealer to help establish that title. And then Austin & Juice confronting FTR is great stuff, and they’ll definitely have that tag title match soon, either Winter is Coming or World’s End. Thing is, I feel like FTR will win that through shenanigans, I don’t see their historic reign ending within a month of it starting.
My Score: 8.9/10

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?

The fans are electric and it’s not just the volt green! Time for a SUPERKICK PARTAY~! Wait, Stokely grabs a foot each! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Stoke can’t even trip The Bucks up.

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?

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 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?

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?
Backstage interview with Don Callis, Mark Davis and Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?

They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
The Triangle of Madness may have misted Persephone and injured Alex Windsor, but that only heaps on more trouble for the champion! Thekla must now defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in a FATAL 4 WAY! Thekla VS Jamie Hayter VS Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida, is The Toxic Spider about to get squashed? Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10
