AEW shares a post-Dynamite backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher.
Renee Paquette is with The Protostar and brings up that it was decided that Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe Round 6 would be for the TNT title, but if Briscoe loses, he MUST join the Don Callis Family. But Kyle’s title is still on the line in a No Disqualifications match. Why was Kyle so quick, and even pleased, to jump on this opportunity? Kyle says he was excited. But the more he thinks about it, maybe he should be concerned. The deck is stacked against him as he faces Briscoe, “a deranged human being” in a No DQ match where Briscoe could literally do anything to him. Briscoe might win the title!
But even if Briscoe loses, he still wins because he has the honor of joining The Don Callis Family, literally the best thing that’s ever happened to Kyle! Oh, speaking of the Family, Kazuchika Okada steps in. Kyle says great to see Okada, and Okada says he is sorry that Konosuke Takeshita wasn’t here to support Fletcher. But Okada is! Because Okada and Fletcher are basically the captains of the Don Callis Family. And after Full Gear, when Fletcher beats Briscoe, they will both still be champions. They will be the #PROTOKADA! Kyle thinks about how that sounds. Not bad, really.
Is Okada really going to replace Takeshita as Fletcher’s tag partner? Is Fletcher already looking past the title match made for tonight on Collision?
AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Ace Austin!
Collision returns as the Aussie Arrow makes his entrance, followed by the Bang Bang Gang’s third man. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see is a new champion is Inevitable!

Ace Austin gave Fletcher a run for his money, but The Protostar is still the Face of TNT! But will that still be the case in just two weeks? Or will the Sussex County Chicken use everything he has to dethrone Fletcher once and for all?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“Mercedes, you have a lot that I will never have. More success, more accolades, more confidence, and more legacy than any woman in wrestling history. But there is one thing… Well, maybe two…. that I have and you don’t. Focus. I have complete and total focus on being THE AEW Women’s World Champion, and you don’t. If you think this is just some other side piece you can scribble on a cake or have a nameless male bimbo you can carry behind you, than you would be wrong in the most extraordinary of ways. You were eliminated from the tag tournament because you were not focused on me.
“And now I will follow you into Blood & Guts, and I will go through whoever I have to until you are focused on me! And then, at Full Gear, one year after we fought for the very first time, in a completely different world… Your focus will be full, your vision will be clear, and it still won’t make a difference.” The Galaxy’s Greatest has warned The CEO, but will she make Mone understand with actions? Or will that Money Train just continue full steam ahead towards more gold?
AEW shares more post-Dynamite footage.
Jon Moxley walked with the Death Riders and said, “We should just give them the advantage at Blood & Guts as a courtesy. They’re weak, they’re hurt, they’re tired, and deciding match three, this is already in the bag.” But then Don Callis is there. The Jackal has them all calm down, and says that they’ve all successfully stayed out of each other’s business for some time to mutual benefit. And on the subject of that, Fletcher has a very high stakes match with Mark Briscoe at Full Gear. Callis knows that Briscoe is part of The Conglomeration team going against them at Blood & Guts, and Callis is just saying that he’s very happy when he thinks about what they could do to him.
Pac tells Callis that everybody knows The Death Riders are done playing games. In Greensboro, North Carolina, they leave five bodies in that cage. So whatever Callis chooses to do with what’s left of Briscoe, that’s his prerogative. They couldn’t give a piss. Callis says he loves the sound of that. And if that were to be the case, which he is pretty sure it will, he’d owe them a tremendous favor. Anything they want! Moxley steps up, leans in, and tells Callis, “Do we look like we need a favor from anybody?” Callis is twitchy given the scar Moxley left on him from a long time ago, so he stays quiet. The Death Riders leave, though Claudio does give a glance at the TNT title.
Fletcher says that went well. Will The Death Riders dismantle Darby & The Conglomeration? Will The Don Callis Family be next?
TayJay VS Maya World & Hyan!
The Blackbelt Beauty & The Queenslayer know they’ve got a Problem and a Megasus in their way on the road to the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships, but they aren’t worried. Will the long time dynamic duo be more than ready for Marina & Megan? Or are they underestimating #ThatGirl & The Renaissance Woman?
The teams sort out and Tay Melo starts against Maya. They circle, tie up, and the fans rally. Tay headlocks, Maya powers up to wrench free. Tay wrenches back and waistlocks, then GERMAN SUPLEXES! Tay runs up, but Maya dodges the boot to roll Tay! Tay rolls through and DECKS Maya! Maya flounders to the corner, Tay tags Anna, and the fans rally as Anna ROCKS Maya again and again! Anna snapmares Maya, Tay joins in, PENALTY KICK to a NECK SNAPPER! Cover, Hyan breaks it just in time! Tay CLUBS and THROWS Hyan, then she and Anna do the secret handshake before a DOUBLE BOOTY BUMP!
The fans cheer and Maya sputters. Anna drags her up, Maya JAWBREAKERS free! Hot Tag to Hyan! The fans fire up but then Anna ROCKS Hyan! Anna whips Hyan to the corner, ELBOWS her, and tags Tay. Tay runs to BLAST Maya, then she returns to BOOT Hyan! Tag to Anna and Tay sends her in for a LEG LARIAT! Hyan sputters, Anna lifts Hyan into the Gory Especial! TAY-K-O 2.0! Cover, TayJay wins!
Winner: TayJay, by pinfall
TayJay wins the tune-up and are just waiting on the tournament. Will they make it through the opening round? Or will Marina & Megan make them both #BowDown?
Backstage interview with Athena.
Former Minion Bestie, Lexy Nair, is with the ROH Women’s World Champion, and brings up how Athena and Mone were eliminated from the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship tournament. Now Athena will defend her title against Harley Cameron- Athena stops Lexy there. Does Lexy even remember who she is? HMM!? Lexy runs through the nicknames very quickly: The Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the Forever ROH Champion, Athena. YES, the FOREVER ROH Champion! So then, why doesn’t Athena feel like she’s the Forever Champion?! She’ll tell you why! It’s because for only the fifth time in five YEARS, Athena got pinned.
And this one hurts the most, because it was that evil little puppeteer, Harley Cameron. And y’know what? Harley must feel special, very special, but she’s not! If Kris Statlander didn’t poke her nose in Athena’s business, if Billie Starkz could just do the right thing for once, and if Mercedes Mone would’ve had Athena’s back like Athena had hers, Athena would NOT be in this predicament, which is her doubting herself. So if Harley Cameron, by some miracle, survives Blood & Guts, she’ll realize that Athena doesn’t need five other people by her side, or a cage, or the weapons, to beat the CRAP out of her!
Athena promises to do it not for her minions, not for anyone that she genuinely cares about. She does this for her. And then she will make Harley Cameron a little puppet for MIT. What’s Lexy think about that? Yes, Minion Overlord. That’s right. Put some pep in your step next time. Athena storms off, but will she still be the ROH Women’s World Champion then, now, and forever? Or will she #FeelTheWarth of Harley Cameron on ROH TV?

Harley keeps going, SLINGBLADE! Cover, TWO!
Thekla survives but the fans rally behind Harley. Harley fireman’s carries, Thekla slips free to mule kick! Harley ducks the buzzsaw but not the HEEL KICK! Harley goes to a corner, Thekla runs up, but Harley slips out and ROUNDHOUSES! Thekla staggers, the fans fire up, and Harley climbs up. Thekla ROCKS Harley first! Thekla climbs up, but Harley tripos her up! Harley and Thekla brawl up top and the fans rally! Harley fires a flurry, Thekla falls into the Tree of Woe, but she sits right up! Harley is shocked, but then she blocks a shot to BITE Thekla’s forehead! Harley then makes Thekla MOTORBOAT her!
The fans fire up as Harley HEADBUTTS Thekla, then sunset flips! Thekla holds on, so Harley CHOPS her, puts her in the Tree of Woe, and runs side to side! DROPKICK! Thekla falls, Harley covers, TWO! Thekla survives but the fans fire up for Harley! Harley rises up, brings Thekla around, and then climbs back up. Harley aims from up top, SWANTON FLOP as Thekla moves! Thekla Spider-Walks, for the SPIDER SPEAR!! Cover, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by pinfall; Team Mone has Blood & Guts Advantage
Thekla caresses Harley’s face with a sinister style, because now her team has that one-up advantage! Will Mercedes Mone, Megan Bayne, Marina Shafir & The Triangle of Madness completely dominate inside the double cage? Or can Kris Statlander, Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa, Jamie Hayter, Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron find a way to survive?
Backstage interview with #JetSpeed.
Lexy is now with Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey to bring up their part in FTR losing to the Bang Bang Gang earlier tonight, but also that they have an announcement to make. Bailey says yes, but he wants to make it clear that it is far from over between them, FTR, and “Little Strokely.” But while FTR’s busy challenging for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Full Gear, Bailey & Knight aren’t the kind to sit by and watch. Knight agrees, they are not. So at Full Gear, there is the Casino Gauntlet Match to crown the first-ever AEW National Champion, and JetSpeed as fly as they are, they’re putting their names in the hat, then throw that hat into the ring.
Then it is official, they’re both in the gauntlet? Yes, and that doubles their chances of winning. If it comes down to just the two of them, may the best man win. They shake on it, but will JetSpeed be 2Fly2Stop now that they’re going Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with Platinum Max & The 5 Tool Player. Despite being on the same team again last week, they ended up literally fighting each other. But it is apparent Bowens has something to say to Caster? Yes, and Bowens wanted everyone to hear it: The Acclaimed is NEVER coming back, it is done! They tried as a favor to Jerry Lynn, but it is clearly not working and Bowens is sick of it. He’s over it! Bowens’ first step forward, the opportunity in his home state of New Jersey during Tailgate Brawl! What does Caster think about that?! Caster says great, he’ll also be at the Tailgate Brawl, so see you there, just don’t get in his way.
What’s Caster going to do? He isn’t booked! Caster says he will be, but Bowens says maybe if it’s to be a dumbass. Lexy stops the arguing because Tony Khan has made note that they do higher ratings when they’re on screen together. Their merch sales have gone up since being back on screen together, and the net value cash flows of their contracts are also higher. The numbers don’t lie. So if they’re going to be part of Tailgate Brawl, then it’ll be together. They argue with Lexy but she says this is all direct from Tony Khan, do not shoot the messenger. The two calm down, understanding that.
Caster then tells Tony through the camera, “This is really what you think of me? You know how insulting this is? I promise, you will regret the way that you treated me, cuz you can’t act like people don’t love The Best Wrestler Alive alone. And you can’t act like he (Bowens) doesn’t represent your company at all those outside events by himself. I don’t go to those, and he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive.” Bowens tells Caster to shut up already! But Bowens does tell Tony that Caster’s right, Bowens is NOT doing this! Cancel the match! He’s done! So is Caster! They both storm off, but will The (Not) Acclaimed NOT have a choice in working at Full Gear?

Winner: Roderick Strong, by count-out; The Conglomeration has Blood & Guts Advantage
The Death Riders return to protest, but they’re hypocrites for it. And then that someone TAZES Pac!! Because that was DARBY ALLIN under there! The fans fire up as The Relentless One dares someone to get the next one! Roddy WRECKS Yuta with a dropkick! Darby jumps into the crowd, dares Moxley to come at him, then scares him off with the stun gun! Houston is all fired up, but will Darby & The Conglomeration burn it all down in Greensboro? Or will The Death Riders find a way to win without the numbers advantage?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, but there was a rather stark contrast between the two hours being “Blood & Guts related” and “Not Blood & Guts related.” Great match from FTR VS Gunn & Robinson, and I really liked Bandido & Gravity pulling a double “Sting wearing a Sting mask” gag. Them and JetSpeed scaring Stokely and taking him out of the equation was great, and FTR losing for that is great because they get what they deserve but in a way that keeps them strong going towards Full Gear. I’d still love to see Bandido & Gravity VS FTR or some combination of singles matches to build the tag title match, but that depends on if Gravity is actually cleared to compete.
TayJay of course won a tune-up match tonight, they made quick work of Maya & Hyan. TayJay is going to fight their hearts out against Megan & Marina, but it feels like Megan & Marina are going to win in the end. TayJay can still find their spot in the Women’s Tag Division as the Face team chasing Heel champions, but it’s just a bit of bad luck that pieces have moved around like this. Very good promo from Athena calling out pretty much everyone, from Statlander to Mone to even Billie. Athena VS Billie 3 at Final Battle 2025 would be rather redundant after how Billie should’ve won last year, but it’d still be better than like Mone taking Athena’s title to add to that insane collection.
Only Tony Khan would work-shoot the ratings and merch sales into the Acclaimed dysfunction story. I’m writing a Legend of Zelda pro-wrestling promotion on here, and I’m still nowhere as nerdy as that. Caster & Bowens still made chicken salad out of that chicken crap, and I can’t wait to see where they go with that Tailgate Brawl match. Though, can we stop doing Tailgate Brawl on TV? It has been annoying the last two times because it just doesn’t make sense when Zero Hour is online for free.
Fletcher VS Ace Austin was a great match, and a great showing for Austin, but c’mon, this was just typical filler from TK, giving us a title match before the major title match they have been building. Fletcher had a good promo with Okada hyping up the No DQ match with Briscoe and teasing that Fletcher is the key piece in what will surely be a Don Callis Family Civil War, led by Team Takeshita and Team Okada. Also, really good promo from Fletcher & Callis with the Death Riders teasing a feud between the factions. No matter if Death Riders wins or loses at Blood & Guts, Death Riders moving on to DCF would be great stuff.
And of course, great stuff in all the Blood & Guts advantage matches. Obviously Thekla VS Harley was going to “be needed,” so of course Hayter beat Skye. The Heels having the advantage there makes me think Team Statlander comes through, helping build momentum for the teams still in the tag tournament. Plus, it isn’t the go-home so Mone can turn things around on Kris to then set herself up to fail at Full Gear. Moxley VS Roddy was great stuff, too, with The Death Riders obviously doing their best to screw Roddy over. But it was of course genius for Darby to cheat Moxley right back. But now that the Faces have advantage, do the Death Riders actually win at Blood & Guts? It would help them bounce back after Moxley lost to Darby, but then do we get one last Moxley VS Darby match at World’s End? It would be a fitting place to end something…
My Score: 8.7/10

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals: Timeless Love Bombs VS The Babes of Wrath!
Toni Storm said herself that she and Mina Shirakawa were bonded by a bloody and tragic romance with a certain Glamour, and she only sees Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron as a “thrown together team to fill out the bracket.” But that team not only filled out the bracket, they conquered their half to be here in the title match!

Just as that fan’s sign says, “I ❤️Women’s Wrestling!” And as strong as Toni & Mina are as a duo, perhaps Willow & Harley are that much stronger! Renee Paquette is here, she hugs the brand new champs, and she has a mic to say, “The Babes of Wrath did it! They made history here tonight! Ladies, a huge congratulations, this is incredible. Harley Cameron, this is the first championship you have won here in AEW. Can you guys put into any words for me what it means to be our first-ever AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions?!” The fans cheer, and Willow says, “Huh. First feeling: tired. That was a hard fight. Harley’s mouth is all bloody. It’s not just lipstick folks.
“But I am proud of myself, of course, but I am so proud of Harley Cameron.” The fans cheer that! Willow continues that it has been a rough year for her, not knowing who is there for her and who is, but Harley always was! The fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Harley says she and Willow first met in the ring in Harley’s second-ever match three years ago, and she can’t believe that they now stand here the FIRST-EVER AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions!! Renee again congratulates them, and Harley says, “What are we?” Willow says, “BABES!” “And what do we have?” “WRATH!” The fans join in chanting, “BABES OF WRATH! BABES OF WRATH!”
Pyro goes off as our new champions raise these belts up high! But then Toni & Mina storm up to them! The fans chant, “Hug It Out! 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! The ref backs Jack off, but then Okada BOOTS Jack! Jack ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! The fans fire up, they tell off Don Callis on commentary, and Jack DIVES! Down goes Okada and the fans fire up, then Jack whips Okada into barriers! Jack drags Okada up, whips, but Okada reverses! Jack hits railing, Okada runs up, but Jack DROPKICKS in return! The fans fire up, but Jack shakes out his foot before he gets Okada in the ring. The fans fire up again and Jack covers, TWO!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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.
