PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
“Fans here in Indiana, we have a one-on-one face-to-face so volatile, that everyone is going to be barred from ringside. Next week, Winter is Coming, part of Dynamite right here on TBS, for the AEW World title, let’s bring out the champion! Here is Samoa Joe!” Fishers, Indiana is torn as the leader of The Opps makes his way out to the ring. Schiavone then introduces the challenge, Eddie Kingston! The fans are much more united in cheering on The Mad King as he makes his way out, repping the Trash Pandas. Schiavone says, “Once again, everyone else barred from ringside-”
Joe takes the mic from Schiavone! “Schiavone, get outta my ring before I snatch that ugly wig off your head.” The fans boo, but Schiavone does as told. Joe says, “Now, if you’ll excuse me, it seems we have some situations to address. Y’know, Eddie, I bet you are just filled with questions that needed answering. So allow me to answer those questions right off the bat. First, you’re probably wondering why I’m not out here in a three-piece suit, looking like a million dollars.” Eddie says, “Corporate thuggin’, where you at?” Joe says yeah, but it’s for a simple reason. When he got on his private jet and the pilot said they were heading to Indiana, Joe realized it’d be like wearing a tux to a petting zoo.
Let’s face it! The penguins may appreciate it, but these “dumb animals” are far too stupid to realize they’re in the presence of greatness! The fans boo more, but Joe says the second question must be, Why Hook? And why Eddie? See, Hook is a man who has grown with a championship legacy: His father, Taz, was a great champion; his mentor, Joe, the greatest champion in the industry. But this is about education, Eddie, and Joe wanted Hook to have a complete one. So it was important that Hook learned what it was like living on the other side, “eating with the second place people, know how the steak tastes at the third place table.”
Joe couldn’t think of a better candidate to be that guide than Eddie. “A man who has never gotten it done! A man who has never crossed the finish line! A person who walks around, screaming about their potential, but never quite fulfills it.” The fans cheer Eddie on, but Joe chuckles. Joe will ask the third question, the most important one: What’s gonna happen next week? Well, Joe will tell you. Eddie will walk into this ring, he will fight his ass off, he’ll be every bit the lion he claims he is, and bring everything he has to the table in order to capture the greatest championship in this industry. But Eddie, you’re not gonna cross the finish, just like every other time.
The fans boo and Eddie gets worked up. Joe tells Eddie to have the consolation of knowing that it won’t be because of anything Eddie did. No, it will because Joe will choke him unconscious in the middle of this ring. Eddie says he still can’t get over how Samoa Joe, a man who was once held in high regard as a man who saved the indies, who had one of the greatest title runs in ROH, if not THE greatest. A man who went to war with Eddie’s own mentor, Homicide, and he’s talking about jets. Damn, dawg, you sold your soul out hard! And y’know what? Hook was to learn something from Eddie? What he learned was perseverance!
What Hook learned from Eddie was to never give up, even when everyone else tells you to, like Joe. When everybody in the back says, “Yeah, Eddie’s a hot head. Eddie has a point, but why does he yell and scream?” Cuz at least Eddie gets s*it done when he does. The fans cheer that! “So, Joe, stand here right now, Joe. Stand here right now. Because this Samoa Joe, I don’t know. And guess what? I don’t respect. The Joe I know and the Joe that I respect, you ran through everybody, bro. You showed fighting spirit, you showed the whole entire world, the world, what it meant to be a real heavyweight champion!
“But now, but now, que eso? What is this? What is this? Jumping people from behind, using a kid like Hook, getting all up in his head. What, what, you doing what the old school guys used to do? The guys that you used to hate? The guys that you used to call out? It’s funny, now you’re them.” Ooh… Eddie says the thing is, he can end this real quick since the fans want to watch wrestling and Eddie just wants to go back to the hotel and go to bed. So here’s the thing! If Joe doesn’t bring the ROH World Champion, the Submission Machine, if he does not bring the Samoa Joe that made Eddie wanna battle and keep going…
If Joe doesn’t bring back the Joe that beat up Eddie’s mentor for years, Eddie will eat Joe alive on December 10th! Eddie drops the mic and the fans fire up! Winter is Coming, as is one guaranteed slug fest! Will the Mad King finally “live up to his potential?” Or will Joe bring back the man that everyone respected?
The Opps speak.
They’re backstage per the ringside ban, but Hook steps up to say, “Samoa Joe took care of business tonight. Come next week at Winter is Coming, he’ll finish Eddie Kingston off.” Will Hobbs says, “See, we’ve got some business to take care of tonight. But you know, everybody’s gunning for these Trios Championships, so what we’re gonna do is, we’re gonna bless everyone. We’re gonna sprinkle a little holiday cheer around this place. Now last night on ROH, there was one team that impressed us. Dark Order, if you get past us tonight, you get a title shot against Shibata, myself, and Samoa Joe.”
Hook says, “See, Hangman, we know those are real good friends of yours. So we’re gonna have some fun out there with them tonight.” Shibata adds in Japanese that they’ll destroy Dark Order! Hook says that for Shibata the assassin, Hobbs the monster, and “the greatest second generation wrestler of all time,” it’ll be real light work. Is the Dark Order going to be used to send a message to The Cowboy? Or can they find a way to survive The Opps?
2025 Continental Classic Gold League: Kazuchika Okada VS PAC!
In perhaps the most shocking opening round result you’ll ever see, The Rainmaker did NOT start off with a win! He is 0-1 and already up against the wall as he now faces the 1-0 Bastard! Will Pac keep the momentum going? Or will Okada make it rain in Indiana?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two circle, feel things out, and tie up. Okada shifts to a waistlock, Pac switches, but Okada pries free to wrench and wristlock. Pac squats, rolls, and then slips through to wrench and wristlock Okada. Pac then hammerlocks, but Okada drop toeholds. Okada floats to a facelock, but Pac wrenches right out to facelock in return. Don Callis is again on commentary this week to simply brush off Okada’s loss last week by saying the Callis Family is making a group effort in the C2. They still have the statistical advantage in this tournament. Okada fights up and uses his height advantage to put Pac in a corner.
The ref counts, Pac and Okada let go of each other, but then Pac pie faces Okada! The fans fire up while Okada storms back up. The ref has them both stay back until Pac is out of the corner. Then Okada fires a forearm! Pac fires back, they go forearm for forearm, but then Pac DROPKICKS a leg out! Okada goes to a corner, Pac runs up, and he ELBOWS Okada! Pac snapmares Okada, goes up the corner, and he MISSILE DROPKICKS! Okada tumbles, Pac kips up, and Callis admits that is shades of the Dynamite Kid. Pac runs, runs, and runs, but Okada just bails out. The fans cheer the snarky cleverness while Pac frowns.
Pac goes to the ropes, but Okada trips him first! Okada drags Pac out, RAMS him into railing, and the fans rally up. Okada brings Pac around, just to RAM him into railing again! Okada hears the ring count, the fans want that “One More Time!” and Okada drags Pac up. Okada puts Pac in the ring instead of doing what the fans want, then he storms up on Pac in the corner. Okada ELBOWS Pac, the fans cuss out Callis, and Okada ELBOWS Pac again. The ref counts, Okada backs off, and Okada ELBOWS Pac again. Okada brings Pac out, reels him in, and turns him for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE, but Okada stays stoic.
Okada drags Pac up to scoop and SLAM! Okada goes up the corner per the formula, but Pac hurries away. Okada hops down and runs up to CLUB Pac down! Okada brings Pac up to whip, but Pac reverses to snapmare! And then FACE SCRAPE! Okada clutches his mouth but Pac stomps him down! Pac stomps away, soaks up cheers and jeers from Fishers, then stalks Okada while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Pac steps on Okada, digs his boots in, and scrapes his face again! Pac snapmares Okada, digs his knee into Okada’s back while keeping him down with the chinlock. Okada endures, pries at the grip, and he moves around. Pac TOSSES Okada out! Okada lands at Callis’ feet, Pac goes out after him, and Pac whips Okada into barriers! Okada writhes against the hard LED, but Pac digs his boot in! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands so Pac lets off. Pac then whips Okada into more railing! Pac refreshes the ring count before he digs his boots into Okada again. The ref reprimands, Pac steps off, and he drags Okada back up.
Pac puts Okada in the ring, then runs to KNEE DROP! And then he KNEES Okada in the back! Pac pushes Okada down so he can run and KNEE DROP again! Cover, TWO! Pac argues with the ref but Okada is just tougher than that. Pac snarls and drags Okada up. Pac bumps Okada off buckles, eggs the fans on, but Okada ROCKS Pac! And ROCKS him again! And again! Pac snapmares to basement DROPKICK Okada in the back! Pac again eggs on Fishers, and he looms over Okada. Pac cravats for a neck wrench while Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally up while Okada fights to his feet, and he throws body shots!
Pac SOBATS! KICKS! And SOBATS! Pac runs to DROPKICK Okada down! Pac goes to the apron, climbs up the corner again, but the fans rally for “O-KA-DA!” Okada rises, turns around, MISSILE- NO, Okada dodges! Pac crash lands, and then Okada SHOTGUNS Pac to the other corner! The fans fire up while both men are down, and now a standing count begins! Pac sputters, Okada turns over, and both men sit up at 5 of 10. They rise to 6, Okada fires forearms! Okada whips, Pac reverses, but Okada ELBOWS Pac down! Then he runs corner to corner to ELBOW Pac! Okada kicks and reels Pac in, DDT! Cover, TWO!
The fans rally as Pac survives, but Okada keeps cool. Okada stands Pac up, scoops him, and SLAMS him! Back to the standard formula as Okada goes up top, MACHO ELBOW! The fans fire up, and Okada winds up, Rainmaker MIDDLE FINGER! Okada drags Pac up, waistlocks, but Pac RAMS him into the corner! Pac fires elbow after elbow, then snarls as he gets space. Pac runs up, but Okada pops him up! Pac grabs ropes, Okada dumps him to the apron! Okada runs up, btu Pac dodges to then BOOT! Pac slingshots, and hits the CUTTER! Pac fires up but the fans are torn. Pac runs, runs, and runs, but Okada DROPKICKS him down!
The fans fire up again and Okada ripcords, RAIN- NO, Pac wheelbarrows to victory roll! TWO!! Okada BOOTS Pac! Pac ends up in a corner, and he BOOTS Okada in return! Pac goes up, leaps over, and SUPERKICKS! Pac hurries to go corner to corner and BOOT again! Pac whips, Okada reverses, but Pac slides to a stop! Okada runs up, Pac dodges, SNAP GERMAN! The fans fire up as Pac then waistlocks to deadlift Okada! Okada fights, but Pac still GERMAN SUPLEXES! Bridging cover, TWO!! Okada survives but Callis gives Pac credit, that’s perhaps the most beautiful German Suplex you’ll see in the business today.
The fans rally as Pac rises and Okada sputters. Pac stands Okada up, but Okada gut wrenches! TOMBSTONE!! But Okada can’t make the cover! The fans rally up again while the standing count returns. Okada goes to the corner, then drags himself up to the top rope! The fans rally as Pac then springs to life! Pac jumps up after Okada, and he SUPER DUPER PLEXES!! The fans lose their minds, but Pac gets moving again! BASTARD BOMBER!! Then the BRUTAL- CRADLE!! OKADA WINS!!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Pac earns 0)
Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, Okada gets points on the board! However, he could still be a step behind the leader. We see Kyle Fletcher VS Kevin Knight later, who comes out of that as Gold League’s 2-0 man?
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Now roundabout a year ago, Danny Garcia, me and you faced off not once but twice. First in the Continental Classic, and then on Collision for your TNT title. Now, I won one, you won one. But my main takeaway was that Danny Garcia is the real deal. This kid is game! Now, here we are a year later, and my goodness how things have changed. Now I’m the reigning and defending TNT Champion. And Danny, Daniel, my opinion of you is not what it once was. You see, Danny, I’m afraid that maybe you’re falling into a Death Riders death spiral. Y’know, you talk all this noise about how you want the shot. I confront you right to your face, and I tell you, ‘Hey, man, let’s do it!’
“You get in my face, and then you back away. What, are you playing mind games? Is this a Jon Moxley-ism? Well, look, Danny, I don’t play mind games, I don’t play no kinda games. I ain’t duckin’, I ain’t dodgin’, so I went straight to Tony Khan. I said, ‘Tony, let’s make this match. Briscoe, Garcia, for the TNT title.’ He said, ‘Mark, I got just the place and time: Cardiff, Wales, Winter is Coming.’ I said, that sounds perfect! Because I’m comin’, too, baby! And it’s gonna be an international ass whooping!” The Sussex County Chicken is ready to fly across the Atlantic just to tear it up, but will he be the one put on ice?
The Demand speaks.
Ricochet says, “To all my, uh, frequent fliers out there, you already know who this is. It’s AEW’s National Champion himself, Ricochet. And I’m feeling pretty good right now, but it’s funny. Over the past couple of days, I’ve had to keep my phone on Do Not Disturb, because I’ve had promoter after promoter emailing me, texting me, calling me, begging me, to come save their little company, to give their talent an opportunity. Because they know what I’ve known this entire time, that Ricochet is not only a champion, but Ricochet has been a viral sensation in every single company that I have worked for, and you can look it up.
“But despite all of that, what I’m known for best is my charity work. Humanitarianism. So my first piece of charity work will be this Friday, in Columbus, Ohio, where I make my debut in ROH. Actually, it’s against an ex-ROH-Champion himself, Dalton Castle. And Dalton, you and I, we’ve known each other for a long, long, long time, so I hate to be the one to tell you, but this Friday, I will dispose of you with ease, and since Columbus is such a cold, miserable place, I’ve decided, uh, I’m gonna stay an extra day. And on Collision, I plan on doing some more charity work where I give some charity case out there an opportunity at my championship.
“Because The Demand is in more demand than we have ever been. And remember: When you’re in Demand, you can make demands.” Kaun adds, “And if you don’t follow demands…” Liona shouts, “You get put DOWN!” AHA~! Feels good, that feels real good. But will The One & Only stay the first-ever AEW National Champion with taking on The Peacock and then potentially a wild card opponent? Or will his holidays already be ruined before Winter even arrives?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is with Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, The Babes of Wrath, and even Roderick Strong, as she says we are in the midst of the Continental Classic. And with that, this Saturday will give us a great match-up as Blue League pits Cassidy against Roddy. How will this one possibly go for The Conglomeration? Briscoe says he doesn’t mean to cut her off, but it would be an accurate observation to say that The Conglomeration has not started off The C2 with an abundance of success. That is why it is a good thing that the Word of the Day is: Retributification! So Saturday, Roderick Strong VS Orange Cassidy, someone’s gotta win!
Cassidy says yeah, up top, Roddy. Roddy says no, stop it! First off, he is NOT in the Conglomeration! Got that? Second, he beats Cassidy’s ass this Saturday to go on and win The Continental Classic? Got that? Cassidy asks Briscoe to explain the Conglomeration Rules for the match. Right, well, Cassidy had an idea for the match: No chops. Roddy says Cassidy’s an idiot, and he’s gonna break Cassidy’s back. Roddy pushes past Cassidy, Briscoe wants him to cool down and consider it, and the Babes head out. Cassidy says Roddy must not have seen him standing right here. But will Roddy make sure nothing and no one stops him from breaking through the C2?
BREAKING NEWS on Darby Allin!
Speaking of the Continental Classic, it was a battle in the opening round between The Relentless One and Kevin Knight, but it would appear Darby was far more banged up than he let on. It was as a precaution that Darby be taken to the hospital for observation, he was not cleared to travel, let alone compete, here tonight. AEW hopes to have a clearer picture by this Saturday, will Darby still be able to keep up the fight? Or does even he have a limit to what damage he can take?
2025 Continental Classic Gold League: Kyle Fletcher VS Kevin Knight!
As mentioned already, both these men won big in their opening round matches, so they both stand at 1-0 with 3 points. Okada finally got himself some points to catch up to The Protostar, but will Fletcher just take another step forward? Or will The Jet be leaving them both in the dust as he starts to take off?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as the two circle. They tie up, Kyle’s height helping him, but Knight digs his heels in. They go around, Kyle puts Knight on the ropes, but Knight turns that around. The ref counts, Knight lets off and pats Kyle on the shoulders. Callis admits, he likes Knight, because just look at him! A stud of an athlete. Kyle shrugs things off as he circles with Knight. They tie up again, go around and around, and Kyle hits a headlock takeover. Knight fights, keeps his shoulder up, and then rolls to a cover, ONE! Kyle grinds the hold, Knight headscissors, and Knight squeezes tight. Kyle rolls, pops free, and floats back to the headlock!
The fans rally, but Knight fights up to his feet. Knight powers free to waistlock but Kyle switches. Kyle SLAMS Knight down, then BOOTS him right in the face! Kyle flexes, the fans are torn, but Knight frowns. Kyle mocks Kevin with clapping, and Knight says okay, if that’s how he wants to play… They circle, tie up, and Knight waistlocks. Kyle fights the lift, and the next lift, so Knight trips Kyle, then walks all over him! Knight poses, the fans cheer, but Kyle is annoyed. Kyle runs up, Knight ducks the lariat, then he drops down, hurdles over, and HIP- No, Kyle counters with his own HIP TOSS, but Knight handsprings through!
Knight runs up, Kyle stops the arm-drag, but Knight turns the counter into an arm-drag after all! The fans fire up and Knight arm-drags again! Kyle avoids the dropkick, but Knight taunts him now. The fans fire up, but then they boo as Kyle bails out. Knight says the clock is ticking, and the ring count starts. Kyle takes his time as he steps back up to the apron. Kyle steps inside, then he kicks Knight low! Kyle CLUBS Knight, CHOPS Knight, then whips Knight to ropes. Knight goes up and over, keeps moving, and he LARIATS Kyle up and out! The fans fire up as Knight PLANCHAS, but Kyle slides inside to dodge! Kyle then runs up and CALF KICKS Knight down!
The fans rally as Kyle goes out and reels Knight in. POWER- NO, Knight pops free, then goes up the apron to FLYING LARIAT! The fans fire up with Knight while Kyle sputters. Knight slides into the ring, takes aim again, and he springboards to SUPER FLYING LARIAT! The fans fire up again, and Callis is shocked, while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight drags Kyle up, puts him in the ring, and aims from the apron. Knight springboards, Kyle gets under, and he comes back with an ELBOW! An almost Hidden Blade like elbow at that, and Kyle rains down fists! The ref reprimands and counts, no closed fists! Kyle stops to huff ‘n’ puff and storm around while Knight sputters. Kyle stands on the corner and flexes, soaking up cheers and jeers. Kyle storms back to Knight but Knight CHOPS! Knight shakes out his own hand, but then Kyle scoops and SLAMS him down! Kyle paces around while Knight writhes, and Kyle mocks the fans dueling between them.
Kyle lines up a shot, runs in at the corner, forearm SMASH! Then a wrenches and lift, BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Kyle sighs, but then he JUMP STOMPS! Kyle clamps onto Knight, Knight endures, and Knight rises up. Dynamite returns to single picture as Knight fires body shots. Knight is free and runs, but into a scoop! But Knight makes it a cradle! TWO! Kyle escapes and BOOTS Knight! Kyle runs, but Knight DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while both men are down again! “This is Awesome!” while the standing count climbs. Knight rises, Kyle is on the ropes, and Kyle storms upon Knight first! Knight fires haymakers, then blocks to fire more!
The fans rally as Knight gets the edge! Knight whips, then LARIATS Kyle in the corner! A whip corner to corner, and another LARIAT! Knight runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then LEAPING LARIATS! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Knight shakes out his bad arm, and he kips up! The fans cheer, Knight runs up, but Kyle BOOTS him! Kyle goes up, but into the UPPER ROOM! Knight drags himself back up, runs up, SATELLITE DDT! Callis admits, that was perfect! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives but Knight will not be deterred! The fans fire up as Knight goes to the apron, but Kyle runs up! Knight RAMS low, then slingshots up and over, sunset flip! TWO!
Kyle is up again, but now Knight BOOTS him! Knight whips, Kyle reverses, and he catches Knight as he goes up and over! LAWN DART! The fans fire up while Knight sputters in the corner.

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Knight earns 0)
And it is another incredible victory to make Kyle Fletcher 2-0 with 6 points! Callis grabs the mic to say, “I have something very important to say!” The fans boo that, but Callis says, “And you’re gonna wanna hear it, because it’s about The Young Bucks! But now, I’m gonna let you hear from the greatest wrestler I’ve ever seen, Kyle Fletcher! How you feelin’, big boy?” Callis hands the mic to Kyle while Josh Alexander & Hechicero bring those duffel bags of money out. Kyle says, “Not great, Don, I’ll be completely honest. Is that for me? You bringing that for me? I’ll take that.” Kyle stands to look at the money, and Callis says the fans are gonna hear every last sentence!
The fans boo more but just what is Callis going to say to and about Matt & Nick Jackson? We find out, after the break.
Dynamite returns and Callis is still berating the fans in Fishers.
“You’re very lucky that he even comes to this town! And now, I would like to discuss what happened last week with The Young Bucks! Y’know, Bucks, I could forgive a lot. You can lie to me, I could forgive that. You can cheat me, I could forgive that. You can KILL someone! I have forgiven that before. But the one thing that is an unforgivable sin is siding with Kenny Omega!” The fans cheer, but Callis tells The Bucks that he has something to add. “I have your money, Young Bucks! And I know that Kenny’s not gonna finance you. So if you don’t like it, I suggest, for the first time in your godforsaken lives, let your nuts drop, try to be men, and get in here and take it!”
The fans boo but here come Matt & Nick! The fans cheer and Kyle dares them to come get it. So they rush the ring! The Bucks dodge Kyle, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS on Alexander & Hechi! Then they get Kyle with a B T E TRIGGER!! That was easier than they thought! They snatch up the bag, taunt Callis with it, but then in slides Okada! RAINMAKER on Matt!! Nick asks what the heck, man! Okada flips Nick off! Then he blocks Nick’s kick, and Alexander CHOP BLOCKS! Hechi gets back in, the Callis Family mugs The Bucks 3v2! The fans rally for “KENNY!

Jack Perry & Luchasaurus rush the ring, they DROPKICK Alexander and SMACK Okada! Luchasaurus TOSSES Hechi, Jack gets a boost! ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Down go Hechi & Alexander! Luchasaurus storms up on Okada, but Okada LOW BLOWS him! The fans boo but now Jack and Okada stare down. Okada flips Jack off, but Jack BITES that finger! The fans cheer, but now Mark Davis & CLØN rush the ring! They mug Perry, then they get Matt & Nick back in the ring. Davis CHOKES Matt, Okada throws down fists on Nick, and Callis gets his own shots in! Nick is made to watch as Callis HAMMERS Matt’s head!
Callis throws off his jacket, rolls up his sleeves, and wets his finger? Then he DIGS into Nick’s eyes!! But here comes Kenny!! The Cleaner has seen enough, and he fires off on Davis! Then on Alexander! Then back to Davis, only for Davis to fireman’s carry! Omega slips free, and V-TRIGGERS! But then Okada has Omega! RAIN- NO, Omega ducks to SNAP DRAGON!! The fans fire up as Omega then takes aim at Okada, only for Okada to bail! The Elite regroups while the Callis Family retreats, when and where will they settle the score?
The Babes of Wrath speak.
Harley Cameron remembers back to when Willow Nightingale was her second-ever opponent. She remembers then that Willow was kind and sweet and strong. She also beat the snot out of her, so being friends and teammates today still blows Harley’s mind. Willow says they’ve both already been through so much. 8 Woman Tags, Fatal 4 Ways, Tailgate Brawls, and even Blood & Guts! It is a joy teaming together with the same kind of crazy. Not a lot of people believed they could get this far, but that didn’t matter because they believed in themselves. They’re done relying on surprises or upsets. They are ready to be THE first-ever AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions!
So it doesn’t matter who is standing across the ring from them, they’re coming in ready. Who are they? The Babes! What do they have? The Wrath! BABES OF WRATH! BABES OF WRATH!! But then, who will feel the wrath in the tournament finals? We’re about to find out!
AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament Semifinals, Hardcore Holiday Deathmatch: Timeless Love Bombs VS #MegaProblem!
Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa won the Full Gear Fatal 4 Way Tag and earned the right to add a stipulation to this tournament match. They wanted revenge for the brutality seen in Blood & Guts, so they chose a match that would do away with tagging in and out, do away with disqualifications and count-outs, and that could only be one by pinfalls, submissions, or knockouts! Will Toni & Mina prove they are indeed knockouts? Or will Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir make them #BowDown?
Toni already wraps her fist in that pearl necklace of hers, and she goes right up to ROCK Marina! The bell rings, the fans fire up, and the brawl is on! But Marina turns things around with KNEES while Megan fires off forearms on Mina! The fans rally, Marina and Megan double whip, but Toni & Mina hit STEREO THEZS PRESSES! They rain down fast hands, then keep after the #MegaProblems with STEREO DDTS! Megan & Marina bail out, Toni & Mina go to the apron! TORNADO DDT to the floor for Marina, followed by a TORNADO DDT for Megan!
The fans fire up and Toni brings out… A champagne bottle?! She SMASHSE it on Marina’s head! Then she stomps Marina down, and she wants to use the sharp shard! She DIGS it into Megan’s forehead!! The fans go nuts, and then Mina brings out a giant candy cane! Mina uses it to SMACK Megan down low! And then she puts Megan in the ring, only for Megan to throw hands! Megan whips, Mina CANDY CANE SLINGBLADES! The fans fire up again, and she CLUBS away on Megan! Then she hooks Megan in the mouth! On closer inspection, there’s BARBED WIRE on the candy cane kendo stick!! That’s gotta really sting!
Mina calls to Toni, and Toni basement DROPKICKS Megan! The fans fire up with the Love Bombs, and we see Marina is busted open! Toni scoops Mina to YOYO SPLASH her on Megan! Kendo stick included! Mina snarls and gets the candy cane outta the way. The Love Bombs drag the Megasus up, but she blocks the suplex! Megan DOUBLE SUPLEXES the Love Bombs! Not the cleanest, but damage done! Megan puts Toni on the ropes, Marina storms in, and she TIGER FEINT SPIKES Toni! Megan hauls Mina up, and she THROWS Mina out onto Toni! The fans are torn but Marina smiles while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Marina goes looking under the ring, Megan helps out, and they go to the table. They dump off the gifts to take the table itself. The Love Bombs regroup while said table is put in the ring. Marina starts setting the table while Megan DECK SToni! And SMACKS her with that kendo stick! Megan SMACKS Mina, too! The Love Bombs writhe, Marina RAMS Toni into railing, and she puts Toni in. Then Marina drags Mina up, puts her in the ring, and Megan aims for the table. Toni slips free but Marina KICKS her down! Megan CLUBS Toni, then she goes out to fetch the present on the other table. The shape is rather suspicious…
Megan says it’s for her, what could it be? Well, Marina got herself a frying pan, and then surprise! Megan unwraps a golden chair! And she throws it to Toni, so she can SHOTGUN it into her! Dynamite returns to single picture as the Love Bombs are put through the ropes. Marina SMACKS Mina in the stomach with the frying pan while Megan CLUBS Toni in the chest! And again, and again, and again! The Mega Problems go all the way to TEN, then they flip off the fans. The fans boo, but Megan has her chair! And she SMACKS Toni on the back! Marina SPANKS Toni with the pan! SMACK with the chair! SPANK with the pan!
But Mina climbs! Toni ducks the double shot, chair and frying pan collide! Marina is disarmed, Mina MISSILE DROPKICKS the chair into Megan’s face! The fans fire up and Toni drags Megan to the apron! Marina BOOTS Mina down, but Toni gives Megan a STORM ZERO through the outside table!! The fans lose their minds, but Marina says screw it, she’s going to wrap this up. SAYANAGI on Mina, into MOTHER’S MILK!! Mina endures, fights the hold, but Toni is able to slide a piece of a cue stick to Mina! Mina grabs hold, and she DIGS it into Marina’s face!! Mina goes after Marina with the sharp wood!! Mina then jackknife bridges, TWO!!
Mina URAKENS Marina! Marina tumbles, Mina fires up, and Toni stands with her. Toni gives Mina the boost to go up, up, and SUPER DUPER CROSSBODY! Down goes Marina! The fans fire up as Mina puts Marina back in! Toni finds that golden chair, brings it around, and Mina climbs up! FLYING SLINGBLADE into the chair!! Cover, MEGAN CLOBBERS TONI ONTO IT! Megan still lives, but Mina brings Marina up. Mina aims for the table, Marina fights the suplex, and Marina snap suplexes Mina first! Then Megan SPEARS Mina down through the other table!! But Toni waistlocks Megan! Marina SMACKS Toni with the chair!
Megan and Marina coordinate, they get Toni up for the FATE’S- NO, Toni slips free, and she STORM ZEROS Megan onto Marina! Megan tumbles out, Marina writhes, and SANTA IS HERE?! The fans go wild for Santa Claus, and he says he has a gift for Marina. Marina says fine, give it here! She snatches the box away, but it’s just a MIDDLE FINGER! That’s not Santa, that’s LUTHER! And Toni GERMAN SUPLEXES Marina onto tacks??! And then THE SHOE~! And the BIG PACKAGE! LOVE BOMBS WIN!!
Winners: The Timeless Love Bombs, by pinfall (advance to the finals)
They raised the stakes and they won the gable, Toni & Mina are moving on to the championship match! But will the inaugural champions be TIMELESS? Or will they #FeelTheWrath as Winter is Coming?
AEW hears from The Triangle of Madness and their nemeses.
Julia Hart calls out Jamie Hayter. “What’d you not learn from Blood & Guts?” Thekla tells Kris Statlander, “You sure do a lot of sticking your alien ass into the Triangle’s business. Why do you call yourself ‘Big Stat Daddy’ when you really just a little baby b*tch?” But Kris says says she has never heard someone talk so much like a champ without actually being one. But hey, fake it ’til you make it, right? So just name the time, the place, the date, the state, and she will not hesitate to make you call her Daddy! Jamie says wow! Now, while Jamie and Kris might not be friends, they have enemies in common.
So how about this? Cardiff Collision, there’s not much else to do in Cardiff except beat people up, so it will be them doing that to Skye & Julia. Kris likes that idea. And then after that, Kris and Jamie can… have a little chat. About what? Oh, right. But can Stat & Hayter Hit Hard enough to break the Triangle of Madness? Or will the Sisters of Sin drag them down into the abyss?
The Dark Order walks ‘n’ talks.
Evil Uno says, “Finally it happens! A moment years in the making. Dark Order is back on Dynamite and we have an opportunity like none other. If we win tonight, we get a chance at the AEW Trios Championships. We have been-” But then Alex Reynolds notices Hangman Page storming past and stops him. Reynolds tells The Cowboy, “Look, I know you’re lookin’ for blood, but whatever you do, don’t ruin this for us.” Hangman says, “Fine. I owe you that, at least. But the second this match is over, they are mine.” Hangman heads out, Uno says ignore that and let’s get ’em! Will Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally turn things around? Or will they see The Opps are #NeverLacking?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee is now with The CEO, “Thirteen Belts Mone,” #UltimoMone, and namely the Undisputed ROH Women’s World Television Champion. Renee notes that we have not seen Mone since Full Gear when she was unsuccessful in her match against- Mone stops Renee there, then takes a breath. And another. Mone says, “I am a global icon. Thirteen Belts Ultimo Mone. PWI’s number one wrestler of the year. Does that sound UNSUCCESSFUL to you?!” Renee says no, it does not, sorry. But this Friday, she defends the ROH Women’s TV title against Red Velvet- “Who I’ve already beaten,” Mone points out.
Mone says if TK wants Mone to beat Velvet again, she’ll gladly do it. “Red, you wanna talk a lot of talk on ROH and Collision, when you know I’m not there. But here I am on Dynamite, where I am every single week, and where are you? Home? Hiding? Still crying about this title that I took from you? HAHAHAHA! Well, Red, since you said I am a fighting champion, I’ll give you another chance to fall off the Money Train again. And since you wanna say I never show up to ROH, you can watch me this week on Honor Club to get a little preview of Final Battle. Because, Red, there’s a price to pay when you talk down on Mone.”
The CEO smiles as she holds up the ROH Women’s TV title, but will Mone’s first week on ROH TV also be her last?
FTR speaks.
Stokely Hathaway says, “Tonight is the greatest night of my life. Why? Because FTR are the AEW World Tag Team Champions. But I need to address what happened last Saturday on Collision. The greatest tag team of all time were having a celebration, but they were interrupted by Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson. But the worst part about it all is they said they wanted to be champions for Colten Gunn & Jay White. So, lemme get this straight. Instead of wanting to be champions for AEW, instead of wanting to cement your legacy, instead of wanting to inspire a whole generation of tag team wrestlers… You wanna be champions to pop the boys on the injured list? How pathetic!”
Cash Wheeler tells Austin & Juice, “You talk about how you were the last team to beat FTR, but make no mistake, that is the last time you’ll beat FTR. When it matters, you will not get the job done. Austin, who was it that ended your AEW World Tag Team title reign? I don’t remember. Oh, wait, it was us. And Juice, you don’t care if it takes an hour? 15 minutes in, you couldn’t get the job done, #AndStill. When it comes down to it, you are always gonna be Billy’s Boy & Mr. Storm.” Dax Harwood asks if Juice has anything been more than a walk-behinder. Dax has known Juice’s whole career, and all he’s ever been is the bag carrier.
And now, Juice is the leader of the group, power has gone to his head, and he decided that he’s just as good as the big dogs, the world tag team champions. Good luck with that. And Austin, how great that he has this nice, cushy job thanks to your daddy. You’ll have a job forever, this is a paycheck for you. But for Dax, this is his life! 21 years in, and this title is his life! And Austin went and put his hand on Dax’s life? Saturday night, FTR will be live on Collision, and they dare Bang Bang Gang to do that one more time. #TopGuysOut.
AEW World Trios Championships Title Eliminator: The Opps VS The Dark Order!
Samoa Joe had his talk with Eddie Kingston, but now his lieutenants will look to send a message to Hangman throw his former friends. Will Hobbs, Shibata & Hook destroy what is left of The Dark Order? Or can Uno, Silver & Reynolds make the most of this golden opportunity?
But then The Opps just CLOBBER Dark Order the moment they’re on the apron! The fans boo but Hobbs drags Reynolds up, Hook CLUBS Silver down, and Shibata is after Uno. Hook SMACKS Silver off the apron, Hobbs CLUBS Reynolds, and Shibata whips Uno hard into railing! Hobbs whips Reynolds hard into railing on the other side, and Hook sends Silver into barriers! The fans boo but the beating continues, despite this not being a match. Hook puts Silver in, the bell rings, but Silver KICKS! And KICKS! And KICKS! The fans fire up for Silver as he KICKS, KICKS, KICKS! Silver fire sup, runs the ropes, but Hook catches him! SHOULDER CAPTURE PLEX!
Reynolds gets away from Hobbs to go after Hook, he ducks ‘n’ dodges to then DIVE back out, only for Hobbs to catch him! Hobbs pops Reynolds up, APRON POWERSLAM! Hobbs THROWS Reynolds away, Uno ROCKS Hook and KICKS Hobbs! Uno goes up, but Shibata BOOTS him down! Shibata goes after Uno again, KICKS him in the side, then rejoins the others. The Opps all soak up the heat while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Hook paces, Hobbs gives him a neck massage, then Hook goes out to fetch Silver. Hook whips Silver into the steel steps! Hook drags Silver up, puts him back in the ring, and drags him up again. Hook CLAWS Silver’s eyes, bumps him off buckles, then THROWS him away! Hook soaks up heat, stalks Silver to the corner, then stomps away! The ref counts, Hook stops at 4, and he soaks up more heat. Hook goes back to Silver, but Silver CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Hook CHOPS Silver down! Hook tags Shibata, The Opps mug him, and Shibata CHOPS Silver right down! Shibata drags Silver up and around to then CHOP back down!
Shibata drags Silver around to CHOP on the back! Shibata tags Hobbs, they mug Silver more, then Hobbs scoops to BACKBREAKER! Silver writhes, Hobbs swaggers, and Hobbs taunts The Dark Order before he goes back to Silver. Hobbs suplexes Silver, holds him up for TEN, then SLAMS him down! Hobbs smirks as he drags Silver over, and he tags Hook. Hook stomps Silver’s leg, then drags him around again. Dynamite returns to single picture, the fans rally up, and silver fires elbows! Hook swings, but Silver ducks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Hot tag to Uno and the fans fire up!
Uno dodges Hook to then BOOT Hobbs and ELBOW Shibata! Uno DECKS Hook! The fans fire up as Uno then mule kicks Shibata! Back body block on Hook! Back body block on Shibata! LARIAT on Hook! CHOP on Shibata! LARIAT on Hook, CHOP LARIAT on Shibata! Then Uno BOOTS Shibata, kicks Hook, and he reels them both in! DOUBLE DDTS! The fans fire up with Uno, but Hobbs is back! The fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Uno CHOPS Hobbs, but Hobbs just smirks. Uno CHOPS, and then SLAPS! Hobbs is pissed now! Uno dodges the lariat, comes back, but Hobbs LARIATS after all!
Hobbs scoops for the WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS SLAM! Cover, Silver & Reynolds break it! The fans fire up as they HAMMER away on Hobbs! But Hobbs is just annoyed, and he grabs both of them by the neck! But they break free, and they DOUBLE SUPERKICK! The fans fire up, but Hobbs stays up! Hobbs runs in, Silver & Reynolds dodge his lariats, but they get caught into STEREO SLEEPERS! Hobbs hits the SPINEBUSTER on Uno! Cover, Opps win!
Winners: The Opps, by pinfall (deny The Dark Order a title match)
The Opps Dojo trainees celebrate with their senseis, but then wait! Here comes Hangman! He kept his promise, he waited until things were over! Hook runs for it but Hangman DECKS Shibata and fires hands on Hobbs! His fist is wrapped in chain as he HAMMERS Hobbs! Hobbs shoves Hangman away, but Hangman fires more shots! But Shibata KICKS Hangman’s leg out! Shibata & Hobbs mug Hangman, and Hobbs wraps his own fist in chain! but Hangman ducks and the LARIAT hits Shibata! Then Hangman brings out a glass beer bottle from inside his jacket! Hangman SMASHES it on Hobbs’ head!
Hangman then goes to the apron, takes aim, and slingshot, but security rushes out here! They save Hobbs from the Buckshot and swarm Hangman! The fans boo but The Opps retreat for now. Hangman throws hands on security! He doesn’t care about fines, that’s just money! He BOOTS one guy, then slingshots for the BUCKSHOT on another! The Cowboy storms up the ramp to chase after The Opps, but will he get the complete revenge that he wants before World’s End?
BREAKING NEWS for AEW’s December line-up!
First, this year’s Holiday Bash will be a THREE-HOUR SPECIAL, combining Dynamite & Collision for one awesome night! Then, the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royale returns! The last two remaining stars will then advance to the “Dynamite Diamond Ring Finals” at the Dynamite on 34th Street event on Christmas Eve! Then the winner of that match will get their shot at the AEW World Championship for Dynamite: Maximum Carnage, January 14th of the New Year! Who cashes in for the biggest Christmas present anyone could ever ask for?
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Specifically, Renee is with Okada, Fletcher and The Jackal himself. She asks if it is safe to assume that The Bucks will not be joining The Family any time soon? Callis says he is tired of answering negative questions. Why is she so negative all the time? Okada says what happened out there was all Takeshita’s fault. He let them down again! Callis says sorry, but no, Takeshita is busy with training for his own Continental Classic match this Saturday on Collision. But then Takeshita appears! And The Alpha says, “Actually, Don… I’m right here.” Callis & Kyle step in between Okada and Takeshita to keep things civil.
Callis says he is very confident that with these three studs, the Continental Championship will come back to the Don Callis Family. Renee asks that if he is so confident, why is he not putting both parts of the Unified Championship as the prize? Callis says he’ll make this as simple as he can for her and the fans, as there are a lot of uneducated blondes who don’t understand basic things. At All In, Okada went in as Continental Champion, he defeated Kenny Omega in one of the greatest days in Callis’ life. That meant Okada became International Champion. Now, to some people, these are big concepts that they can’t understand.
As such, The Callis Family have created a symbol which is the Unified Championship, representing the two legs, aka the International and the Continental. Is that easy to understand? Yes, but that doesn’t really answer the question. Why not put both legs in? Callis says because HE is not an idiot, he doesn’t do things to be charitable, he doesn’t make risky bets. Why put the International Championship on the line for anything unless they had to? That’s what degenerate gamblers like Nick Jackson do! Kyle says regardless, with Kyle at 6 points, Takeshita on 3 and Okada on 3, the Callis Family is guaranteed to bring home the Continental Championship at the end.
Callis says he feels good hearing those words. Kyle also promises that the International Championship is not going anywhere. It is staying right here. Love it! But will the family really stay dominant through the rest of the C2? Or could someone really ruin those plans for them?
Hangman Page speaks.
The Cowboy paces around, then shouts, “For THREE year, for three years, I’ve fought to get back to the world championship. I gave three years of my life, of my sweat, of my blood, to get to that championship. I fought Ospreay, I fought Fletcher, I fought everyone on this damn roster to get it, and the person who cost me the world championship is Hook! Is HOOK! Joe, for you, for you, Full Gear was The Opps’ crowning moment. But for me, it was but a bump in the road, Joe, because whether it’s from you or from Eddie, I will take that championship back. It will be mine.
“And Hobbs, Shibata, if you want to fight, then you have got one. Next week, Atlanta, Georgia, Winter is Coming. Hobbs & Shibata, I will not be alone. You know who is coming for you. Get your affairs in order.” Does that mean what it sounds like?! Will Hobbs & Shibata have a shootout with The Cowboy and The Most Dangerous Man in AEW?
2025 Continental Classic Blue League: Jon Moxley VS Claudio Castagnoli!
For the first time in their AEW careers, we see The Maniac and the Swiss Cyborg battle it out 1v1, and for a very crucial second round win in the C2. It is Death Rider VS Death Rider and iron sharpens iron, but who will be left standing at the top of the block?
The bell rings, the fans are losing their minds already, and the two circle. They feel things out, Claudio shoots in for a leg, then a facelock, but Moxley fights the suplex. Moxley waistlocks, then he clinches, but Claudio powers him down to the mat. Claudio goes for the arm, Moxley fights it off, and the ref only now realizes Marina Shafir is lingering ringside. He orders her to leave per the Continental Rules, and she obliges. Claudio puts Moxley in the corner, the ref counts, but both men take their time letting go. The fans rally as the two circle again. They knuckle lock, they go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength, and the fans rally for “BALD! BALD! BALD!”
Claudio powers Moxley to the mat, cover, ONE as Moxley gets the arm up. Claudio pushes it down, ONE as Moxley gets the other arm up. Claudio pushes the arm back down, ONE as Moxley bridges! Moxley fights and turns, but Claudio DOUBLE STOMPS him down! The fans are torn, but Claudio stands Moxley up to UPPERCUT! Claudio stalks Moxley to the corner, UPPERCUTS again, and stalks Moxley to another corner. Claudio CHOPS, whips, and runs up, but into a BOOT! Moxley gets in Claudio’s face to egg him on, then pie faces so he can CHOP! Moxley fires forearms and CHOPS on repeat!
Claudio scowls but Moxley CLAWS Claudio’s back! Moxley puts Claudio in a corner, then climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, Moxley goes past TEN, then CLAWS Claudio’s eyes after about 13! The ref counts, Moxley hops down, and he wrenches to wristlock. Moxley SNAPS the fingers! Claudio still scoops to BACKBREAKER! Moxley bails out, Claudio pursues, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio RAMS Moxley into steel steps! Moxley falls in a heap, clutches his shoulder, but Claudio brings the steel steps around. Claudio stands them up on their side, then has Moxley by the legs! Claudio SWINGS Moxley into the steel steps! Moxley is down in a daze while the ref reprimands Claudio. Claudio rolls into the ring to wait on Moxley. Moxley drags himself to the railing while the ring count climbs, but Claudio goes back out after him. Moxley pokes Claudio in the eyes! The ref reprimands Moxley now but he ROCKS and CHOPS Claudio on repeat! Moxley whips, Claudio reverses, and Moxley hits barriers hard! He even tumbles up and over them!
The fans cheer as Moxley is down in the front row. Claudio hops the barriers to haul Moxley up, and RAM him into the barriers again! Then he UPPERCUTS Moxley! Moxley flops back over the barriers, and we see he is busted open from the collision with the steps. Claudio pursues Moxley, puts him in the ring, and storms in after him. Claudio runs to BOOT Moxley! Moxley flounders to ropes, Claudio bumps him off buckles, and bumps him off more buckles! Moxley staggers around, Claudio GRINDS Moxley’s face against the ropes, then headlock punches! Moxley fires a forearm, Claudio fires back, and repeat!
Dynamite returns to single picture once more as the forearms keep going! The fans rally, duel, and fire up as the shots keep going! Moxley HEADBUTTS Claudio again and again! A little double edged, but Moxley runs, only for Claudio to catch the shotgun dropkick! And now GIANT SWING! The fans fire up as Moxley goes around and around and around, and Claudio stops at eight to step through the legs! SHARPSHOOTER! Moxley endures, blood pouring out, and Claudio sits deep on the hold! Moxley fights, claws at the mat, and reaches out. But Claudio turns around to shift into a CROSSFACE! And he rolls Moxley from the ropes!
Moxley endures, even with the hands in his face! The fans rally and duel as Moxley fights to a cover, TWO! Claudio lets go, but now Moxley has him! BULLY CHOKE! Claudio fights up, Moxley shifts sides, and he becomes a backpack! Claudio swings Moxley off of him, only for Moxley to ROCK Claudio! Claudio fires back, the shots go back and forth again! The fans fire up as this gets fast ‘n’ furious! Moxley JABS, BODY SHOTS, and FOREARMS! But Claudio ducks a shot to UPPERCUT! Moxley staggers back, Claudio runs up, but Moxley DUMPS him out! Then he DIVES! Claudio is sent into the desk!
The fans fire up again and Moxley rises up. The fans hope these two “Fight Forever!” but first off, C2 matches have 20 minute time limits, it’d be a draw if this went forever! Moxley hurries after Claudio, puts him in the ring, and he runs up, but into an UPPER- NO, Moxley makes it a backslide! TWO, CUTTER!! Claudio staggers up, and he LARIATS in return! Both men are down and the fans cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” We get the 10 minute notice, we’re halfway through that aforementioned time limit. The two men rise up with the standing count, and they’re up at 5 of 10. Claudio reels Moxley in, Gotch Lift, but Moxley fights the lift!
Moxley pushes on the legs, slips around, and he has the SLEEPER! The fans rally, Claudio endures, but Moxley spins Claudio to try the Gotch Lift! Claudio BACKDROPS, Moxley sunset flips it! TWO, and Claudio has the legs again! But Moxley bridges up to drag Claudio down to a cover! TWO!! Claudio escapes, both men stagger up, and Claudio UPPERCUTS in the corner! Claudio throws off the elbow pad and runs, but into a POLISH HAMMER! Then LARIAT!! Both men are down again and the fans fire up! Moxley huffs ‘n’ puffs as he rises up again, and he watches Claudio. The fans rally, both men stand, and Moxley runs! CURB- NO, Claudio dodges!
Moxley comes back, CURB STOMP after al!! Cover, TWO!! Claudio survives, but Moxley is right on him! REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Claudio endures, fights around, but Moxley shifts to a facelock. Claudio still rises, and he lifts Moxley to DUMP him out of the ring! The fans fire up and Claudio rolls outside. Claudio runs up to UPPERCUT Moxley into the railing! Moxley staggers all the way to the far side, so Claudio just runs in again! DOUBLE STOMPS on Moxley against the chair!! The fans fire up as Claudio stands Moxley up against the steps. Claudio UPPERCUTS again and again, then gets space. Claudio runs in and UPPERCUTS Moxley against the steps!
Claudio puts Moxley back in the ring, then hurries to run and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Moxley survives, but Claudio reels him right in! Claudio tucks the arms, RICOLA~ BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!! Moxley survives, and he just eggs Claudio on!! The fans are thunderous as they’re forehead to forehead, and Claudio UPPERCUTS! Moxley fires a forearm, Claudio UPPERCUTS, repeat! Shot for shot, then Moxley CLAWS the eyes! Moxley runs, but into the POP-UP- NO! Moxley CLAWS eyes again! But Claudio still ROCKS Moxley! Moxley kicks low, PARADIGM SHIFT!! But Moxley can’t make the cover, he’s too beat up!
The fans rally up while Moxley and Claudio go to corners. Moxley and Claudio stare each other down, then they rise up. The five minute warning, and UPPERCUT!!! Cover, CLAUDIO WINS!!!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Moxley earns 0)
It was a brutal 15 minutes, and then it all ends in the blink of an eye! The Swiss Cyborg, the Emissary of Violence, just beat the former AEW World Champion and the Death Riders’ leader! The other Death Riders arrive to celebrate and support both men, but it is now Claudio leading the way in Blue League! But now both men have to turn right around for their third C2 matches! Claudio VS Mascara Dorada, Moxley VS Konosuke Takeshita, will the Death Riders continue to dominate the block?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite here as like the one non-themed episode between all the holiday episodes. Great promo segment from Joe and Eddie to open things, and Eddie got to verbally serve Joe because in the end, Joe’s gonna win at Winter is Coming. And I found it a bit funny that Eddie said he was wrapping things so we could get to wrestling, and then Opps had to talk for themselves. But naturally, they had a match and used The Dark Order to stick it to Hangman. Great stuff with Hangman going after The Opps, scaring them off and all that, and then great promo afterward to set up what is clearly Shibata & Hobbs VS Hangman & Swerve. That will be awesome stuff, really.
But with the sudden news of the convoluted route to a title match at Maximum Carnage, you can bet Hangman and Swerve each get in the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal for Holiday Bash. Then it could easily be Hangman VS Swerve for Dynamite on 34th Street, and the winner of that faces Joe for the title. And even with the 40+ day road map set out, I bet Joe still wins at Maximum Carnage. With that, maybe it is Swerve VS Joe in Arizona, then we get Hangman VS Joe: The Final Round after that. Maybe. I don’t remember if there are PPVs in January, but a PPV feels like the only place Joe would lose the title.
Very good promo from Triangle of Madness and good response from Hayter and Statlander. They’ll have a really good tag match, and I feel like Thekla gets involved. It probably won’t be a straight up Kris VS Hayter, we might get a Triple Threat of Kris VS Hayter VS Thekla at World’s End or something. Very good promo from Harley & Willow to not only give us perspective on their friendship, but also hype up the tag tournament. Awesome “Hardcore Holiday Death Match” tonight, they took holiday theming to a very creative place, especially with Luther Claus showing up. We could’ve had one less false finish, and then I was actually a little surprised Toni & Mina won. But now we get Faces VS Faces, the tag title match will be awesome now.
Very good promo from Mark Briscoe on his own, he was Serious Mark here, and that was good stuff for calling out Daniel Garcia. Not sure we also then needed a Conglomeration group promo where he was Happy Mark again, but it was still a good promo to help hype up Cassidy VS Roddy for Collision. And them making a point of Darby being in the hospital, hopefully that isn’t a real injury, let alone a serious one, but it is understandable why we’re getting some staggered schedules in the tournament now since we won’t get Darby’s match with Mike Bailey and they gotta use who they have.
And of course, awesome stuff with the Continental Classic, as well as using it to help along other stories. Obviously the Conglomeration dysfunction is one, but there is also the Don Callis Family’s feud with the new new new Elite, and even their own dysfunction from Okada and Takeshita. Okada VS Pac was awesome, great quick pin win for Okada. Then Fletcher VS Knight managed to outdo Okada VS Pac, and a great win for Fletcher to keep winning. I believe I said this last week, but it is odd timing that The Elite and DCF can seemingly set up a 5v5 but Blood & Guts is past. Moxley VS Claudio was an awesome main event, really pushing that overrun, but awesome win for Claudio. This can even further add to the doubts in Moxley’s leadership skills, and the eventual mutiny by the crew.
My Score: 9/10

Samoa Joe speaks.
“Y’know, time and attention are tricky commodities. There’s never quite enough to deal with fools and their foolishness. And Hangman Adam Page, you represent one of those fools. And these continued attempts at winning back the AEW Championship, well, that represents your foolishness. Y’see, tonight, I need to prepare myself along with The Opps for an upcoming championship match. Our trios must be defended. So what do I do with a man like you? I went back to the Old West for a little inspiration. Y’see, I put out a bounty! And the bounty’s been posted! And now a vengeful hunter comes to claim his prize.”
In steps The Bounty Hunter, Bryan Keith! Keith tells Hangman, “I got my first taste of you three years ago, and you beat my ass like I stole something. But today, I steal it back. I’m a different man, Hangman, and I plan to show you. Yeah, I got the opportunity to make it personal. And tonight, I cash in. PAY UP!” The Bad Apple is ready to ruin things for the Millennial Cowboy, but will he get that bounty? Or will it be some serious #CowboySh*t in Phoenix?
Darby Allin VS PAC!
Speaking of making things personal, The Relentless One was not taking “No” for an answer. He threatened to break The Bastard’s leg in order to get this match, will Darby still go through with that in order to win? Or will Pac make sure he’s 3-0 against the former TNT Champion?
Right as they reach ringside, with Renee Paquette holding the mic for him, Pac tells the Death Riders, “Tonight, I do this by myself, alright? I’ve got this.” Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and Marina Shafir all respect that, and they fist bump Pac before he steps over the barrier. And then Darby DIVES onto him! The fans fire up as Darby DUMPS Pac over, back into the crowd! The fans fire up for Darby and he fires forearms on Pac! The ref reprimands, he wants this in the ring, but Darby headlocks and CLAWS Pac’s eyes! Pac staggers away but Darby pursues, and Darby headlocks Pac again.
Darby brings Pac to the bleachers and GRINDS his face into the safety railing! The fans fire up as Darby drags Pac further up into the stands, then he fires more hands! The fans cheer, and then Darby brings Pac to the very back row. Pac hits back to then bring Darby around the way. They brawl in that space between sections, and Pac CLAWS Darby’s eyes in return! The fans rally for Darby but Pac brings him back around. Pac whips, but Darby reverses, and Pac hits the wall! Darby decides to go up onto that ledge! The fans fire up for the SUPER COFFIN DROP! Pac and Darby fall into the shadows but the fans still fire up!
The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this the opener, even though this still isn’t a match on record yet!

No bounty for the Bounty Hunter, because who knew The Realest was watching The Cowboy’s back! The fans cheer, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” while Hangman grabs a mic. Hangman tells Keith, “You go and try to collect your bounty now, dumbass.” The fans cheer that! “Samoa Joe! Samoa Joe! Not man enough to fight me himself! So he hires Bryan Keith. Samoa Joe, I am going to take everything from you.” The fans cheer, and the mic is handed to Swerve. Swerve says, “And I got a message for you, MJF. If you just so happen to come out victorious and you keep that championship around your waist, what really means is you actually lost.
“Because I… No, we will be coming after you relentlessly.” The fans cheer as Swerve and Hangman are standing side-by-side now. Swerve continues, “And since this is 2026 now, I got a New Year’s Resolution. It’s been awhile since I had the AEW World Championship around my waist, and that’s what this fanbase wants to see, am I right?” The fans do cheer that! Swerve vows they get back on the mountaintop and make this whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But wait! KENNY OMEGA joins the conversation! The fans practically erupt as The Cleaner steps out on stage, a mic of his own already in hand, and he gets pyro for his entrance, too!
Omega joins Swerve and Hangman in the ring, the fans cheering him on now. Kenny then says, “I had my own time etched out for what I had to say, but I figured, why not come out now? Why not come out now, when three of the greatest challengers for the AEW Heavyweight Championship belt are standing in the ring right here, right now?!” The fans cheer that! Kenny says that he doesn’t mean to speak for anyone else, but it feels like all three men have something to prove. Kenny knows he has something to prove, not just to himself, but to each and every single one of the fans. When we all called him the “God of Pro-Wrestling,” it MEANT something!
And if the fans still believe, then Kenny still believes. He understands that winning a belt isn’t about being an EVP, snapping his fingers, and making it happen. From what he understands, he’s gotta win some matches first. So whether it be friend (Hangman) or foe (Swerve), Kenny IS going for that belt. Hangman tells Kenny then it looks like there are three men who want that title. And unfortunately, this is not a team effort. So if they cross paths on the way to the championship… Hangman means this sincerely: May the best man win. Hangman and Kenny shake hands, but Swerve isn’t so sure. Another horse has entered the race, but who will reach the goal first?
Swerve and Hangman leave, but Kenny stays behind, only for the Don Callis Family to appear. The fans boo and Kenny frowns, but Don Callis leads the way for Rocky Romero, Josh Alexander, and Lance Archer. The Jackal says, “I have something important to say!” The fans boo more, but Callis says he has always been a big fan of M J F! But he has to question MJF’s logic even thinking of associating with a scumbag like Kenny! But now Kenny’s back, he wants the title, huh? And he’s gotta win some matches! You wanna wrestle, kid? How about you wrestle the man who broke Kota Ibushi’s leg!? The same man who sent Kenny to the hospital!
Callis dares Kenny to face the Walking Weapon, Josh Alexander! Kenny chuckles and tells “Uncle Don” that he could barely hear him over all these people. But what it sounds like is that Callis issued a challenge. Yes, Kenny has to win matches. He doesn’t deserve a belt unless he beats some of the best in AEW. So Josh Alexander? Well… Kenny’s got some time tonight. So if the fans want it, if Tony Khan will have it, and if the family will have it, Kenny would love to make his record nice and shiny for going after the world title. What does Josh say?! Josh wants it NOW, but Callis has them all hold on! The fans boo that.
Callis says he and Kenny have known each other for many years. And he guess it has been awhile, but Kenny forgot how this works. Kenny does what Daddy says! And Daddy decides when matches happen! Kenny gets Josh next week on Dynamite! The fans boo that, but Callis says that what he says goes! The Jackal now leads his family away, but the fans cuss him out for it. Kenny tells the fans, “Well, you heard it here first, folks. Unfortunately, it’s gonna have to be next week. But trust me, today was a very big first step, and you all were witness to phase one of Kenny Omega once again becoming your AEW Heavyweight Champion.
“Now I’d love to stay out here and listen to the sound of my own voice, but I must bid you adieuuu~! Goodbye, MWAH! And goodnight, BANG!” The fans cheer and Kenny takes his leave. Will Omega manage to disarm the Walking Weapon when Dynamite rolls into Orlando, Florida? Or will Josh Alexander and the Don Callis Family do everything they can to stop Kenny’s return to former glory?
Backstage interview with Brody King.
Renee Paquette walks ‘n’ walks with the King of Death, and says that with Bandido in the main event, fighting for THE AEW World Championship, the deal between #Brodido is that Brody gets first shot should Bandido win. But before Renee can ask her question, Jon Cruz finds them. He says Brody is just the man he was looking for. Cruz tells Brody to tell his masked amigo to never punch Cruz in the face, and to never suplex him ever again. Brody says yeah, he’ll be sure to do that. Because now, it’s Brody’s turn. What? They’re the standby match. P-Pardon? Yeah, they’re next. B-But Cruz isn’t dressed to compete, and this button is tricky…

Brody runs up, Cruz slips outside, and Brody hits buckles! Cruz goes up, up, and leaps, into a FOREARM! Then Brody gets Cruz up, GONZO BOMB! Cover, Brody wins!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall
Brody puts his coat over Cruz to lay him to rest, then he grabs the mic. “Bandido! Tonight, in the main event of Dynamite, I want you to beat MJF’s ass from pillar to post! And after tonight, it will be an honor to step in the ring with the first NEW AEW Champion!” The fans cheer and Brody steps away. Will the Most Wanted be able to bring down The Scumbag? Or will Bandido not be on the level of the devil?

A massive win for these three wicked warriors, but biggest of all is the fact Thekla pinned THE AEW Women’s World Champion! Will they soon be a triangle of GOLD? Or can Kris, Willow & Harley turn things around before they succumb to the madness?
Backstage interview with JetSpeed.
Renee is with Knight & Bailey and says that was an unfortunate loss in the Fatal 4 Way Tag, and honestly a rocky start for them in 2026. How will they turn things around? Bailey says yes, it has been rough, but- Swerve steps in and pats them both on the shoulders? Swerve tells them that was just bad luck. Swerve and Bailey were tearing it up all around the world. They haven’t mixed it up here in AEW, but when they do, Swerve says it will be fireworks. And as for Knight, The Jet! When Swerve was world champion, one of the names he brought up to Tony Khan was Kevin Knight. Knight IS the future of this business, so trust him when he says Knight’s time is coming.
Swerve leaves having given his encouragement, and Renee asks how JetSpeed is going to respond to that. Hangman Page also walks in and he tells them that they may have lost this chance to challenge for the world tag titles, but NOT the Trios! Hangman Page told Samoa Joe he would take everything from him! Hangman took Hook from Joe last week, and this Saturday, he looks to take those trios titles from Joe, too! Hangman, JetSpeed, The Opps, Collision! See you there. JetSpeed ask if he’s for real, and Hangman says yes, he’s for real. The match is being made right now, see you Saturday. JetSpeed is fired back up, but will they and Hangman all be space cowboys with gold around their waists?
BREAKING NEWS: The Rascalz are coming to AEW!
From hottest free agents to All Elite, Myron Reed, Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel are ready to make an impact!
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Bandido!
The Scumbag snagged this title at World’s End and promised to make his record-setting first reign look like a coffee break. However, the Most Wanted has been unstoppable as ROH World Champion, and he even won the newest Dynamite Diamond Ring tournament to earn this opportunity. Will Bandido become even more powerful as a DOUBLE World Champion? Or will MJF do anything and everything he can to stay on top?
The introductions are made, “Triple B” is raised, and we see who survives Maximum Carnage!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already as MJF and Bandido stare down. They circle while the fans duel an even 50-50. MJF eggs Bandido on, they tie up, but Bandido rolls MJF up! TWO and MJF backs off fast. Bandido says it was that close, but MJF tells the fans to shut up! The fans boo, but MJF and Bandido go again. MJF headlocks, Bandido powers up and out, but MJF RUNS Bandido over! Then MJF does a rather sad Latino Heat. But Bandido kips up, hurdles, then drops down. MJF just Fargo Struts over that! The fans are torn between booing and wooing, then things speed up. Bandido hurdles, leaps over, then tilt-o-whirl arm-drags!
Bandido keeps moving, and then tilt-o-whirl RANAS! Sweep and cover, WTO! MJF stands but Bandido sweeps and covers again! TWO, MJF jumps over the third, and he calls Bandido a dumbass! But Bandido sweeps the legs again, covers, TWO! Bandido kips up and aims his finger gun right at MJF’s head. The fans cheer, MJF says okay, calm down. Then he CLAWS Bandido’s eyes through the mask! The fans boo, but Bandido gorilla presses MJF! The fans fire up while MJF freaks out! Bandido DROPS MJF, then has him on the ropes! Bandido deals the hand, but MJF bails out! No Blackjack yet, but Bandido just resets, only for MJF to run away!
The fans boo, but Bandido just changes course, and he DIVES! They hit the barriers, but Bandido gets up! The fans fire up as Bandido nods. Bandido brings MJF up, puts him in the ring, then goes up the corner. MJF bails out to the apron, the fans boo, but Bandido hops down. The fans fire up with Bandido as they insult MJF, but MJF calls time. This is not that kind of match, but MJF HOTSHOTS Bandido! MJF grabs the arm, top wristlocks, and he pushes on the shoulder. Bandido endures, fights up, but MJF wrenches the arm. Bandido kicks, MJF ducks, and he uses that to pump handle FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!

MJF lets the fans boo while he goes back to Bandido. MJF stands on the bad arm, stomps it, then paces around while Bandido writhes. MJF drags Bandido back up, wrenches the arm, and hammerlocks it. MJF then RAMS Bandido into the corner! MJF soaks up more heat while Bandido clutches the shoulder. MJF kicks Bandido around, steps on his neck, but stops as the ref counts.

MJF drags Bandido up to hammerlock again, and he whips, but Bandido reverses!
MJF ends up in a corner, Bandido climbs up, and Bandido rains down fists! The ref counts but Bandido goes to nine then winds up. But MJF carries Bandido off the corner! Atomic drop! ARM WRINGER! MJF goes up the corner, “checks his watch,” and just takes his time letting Bandido go to ropes. MJF insults the fans over cheering Bandido, then he brings Bandido back up. Maximum Carnage returns to single picture while the fans insult MJF back. MJF just doubles down as he hits a snap suplex, and brings Bandido up! That was just Uno Amigo, and MJF suplexes again! Dos Amigos! MJF drags Bandido up again, gives some Scumbag Heat, but Bandido blocks the suplex!
The fans fire up but MJF blocks Bandido’s suplex! MJF wrenches the arm, but Bandido ROCKS MJF! MJF SLAPS Bandido back! Bandido fires another forearm, MJF CLUBS the arm! Bandido fires a flurry, but MJF BITES Bandido’s hand! MJF reels Bandido in, but Bandido suplexes first! MJF kicks and flails but Bandido powers through to suplex!

TWO!!! MJF escapes with nanoseconds to spare!!
The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB!” and Bandido BOOTS MJF! Gut wrench and torture rack! Bandido flips MJF for the X KNEE! MJF is back on the ropes, Bandido deals again, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!!! But Bandido can’t bridge with the bad arm!! The fans are electric as Bandido crawls his way over! Cover, TWO!!! AND INTO THE SALT OF THE EARTH!!!

Bandido endures, flails, and he FLIPS MJF OFF! The Outlaw is defiant, but he’s fading! He is OUT!! MJF WINS!
Winner: MJF, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
A battle of two world champions, there was never any doubt this would be an instant classic! And perhaps most surprisingly, MJF won this without having to dig into his bag of tricks! MJF grabs a mic, he has them cut his music, and though the fans boo, he says, “Bandido… When they said you were gonna be an AEW World Champion, I laughed. But after wrestling you, it seems very apparent they were right.” The fans cheer this rare compliment from MJF, and he continues by telling Bandido, “As much as it pains me to admit this, you’re gonna be AEW World Champion one day.” The fans cheer that, too!
But MJF says that unfortunately means he has to do this. HE CLOBBERS BANDIDO WITH THE BELT! MJF rains down fists, ruining every bit of good faith he’d just earned! MJF motions for unmasking Bandido and the fans boo more! MJF looms over Bandido, sits him up, but BRODY rushes out here! The fans fire up as MJF runs away like the chicken he is! Brody makes sure Bandido is alright first, helps him sit up, and the fans cheer #Brodido on. Bandido was that close to being AEW World Champion tonight, will he hit the mark next time? Will the King of Death tear down the Devil of AEW first?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to start Maximum Carnage, and it even did a great job setting up more for the coming weeks. Darby Allin VS PAC was a great opener, though mostly standard formula for Darby. I will say, I didn’t think he’d get away with kayfabe breaking Pac’s leg, though. Is Pac being written off TV through this? And if Darby is done with the Death Riders now that he got the win he needed, what’s he gonna do next? The world title is clearly spoken for, Mark Briscoe is TNT Champion and Face, but maybe he’s not done and will want the Continental Championship from Moxley? The International Championship off Okada?
Samoa Joe sending Bryan Keith after Hangman is interesting, but it made for a great match of Hangman VS Keith, then Big Bill and Swerve getting in on it. Solid win for Hangman from this, and a decent promo segment from Swerve, Hangman, and Kenny. Though, other than Hangman being cool with Kenny and Swerve not being cool, that didn’t add much. Don Callis wanting to eliminate Kenny again is rather tired, but Omega VS Alexander will be good, and Omega said it himself, he needs wins. I feel like we’ll eventually get Omega VS Hangman VS Swerve in a Triple Threat to name a contender, maybe a Fatal 4 if Joe wants in on that. Or maybe they’re all in a tournament, TK could do whatever he wants.
Amazing Fatal 4 Way Tag, great innovation from all eight men, and Doyle & Davis definitely meshed as a team rather quickly. I’m rather surprised it’s Doyle & Davis VS FTR, but sometimes Heels VS Heels can be a lot of fun because it boils down to who can cheat harder faster. Plus, Bucks and GOA clearly took each other out along with Jack Perry and Ricochet, we’re definitely getting more of New Elite VS The Demand. Perry VS Bowens will be a solid #1 contender’s match, but it seems redundant if Jack gets another shot at Ricochet for the National title so soon. Maybe Ricochet helps Bowens win because he feels he can beat Bowens easier than he can Jack.
Swerve and Hangman encouraging JetSpeed was nice, but what a surprise that Hangman wants to reunite the Space Cowboys or whatever you want to call them. Word came out during the show that Will Hobbs’ contract was up at midnight, and unless TK dumps a truckload of money out, Hobbs might go to WWE. The trios match (which is being recorded tonight to be aired on Saturday) will be a dead giveaway, though. Ironically, this works even better in story because then Opps will lose the trios titles AND lose Hobbs, making it easier for Hangman to fight it out 1v1 with Samoa Joe as part of the chase for the top title.
Great Six Woman Tag, but as I figured, Triangle of Madness won out. I did NOT think Thekla would pin Kris, so that was a great surprise. Plus, that just spells it out that Thekla is facing Kris for the title, but I feel like Kris should retain the title through it. Same goes for Babes of Wrath overcoming Sisters of Sin. The SkyFlight promo setting up all their stuff for Saturday, you can bet SkyFlight takes all the losses. Don Callis Family is gonna build momentum for Clon’s win streak, for Alexander facing Omega, and Kyle Fletcher wanting after Mark Briscoe for the TNT title in “game seven.” And Zayda is definitely not getting through Marina, are you kidding me? Zayda’s a good talker, but that’s Marina “The Problem” Shafir.
And then great stuff with the AEW World Championship. It seems to be Brody’s thing to be the “standby match guy,” because he can just put people away with ease. It was also two birds, one stone as Jon Cruz could not support MJF in the main event in any capacity. I meant it when I said MJF VS Bandido is an instant classic, a Match of the Year contender and it’s still January. Great details in how MJF didn’t cheat but faced Bandido head on, and in how Bandido did the Stone Cold pass out. MJF of course had to double down the Heel heat, though, and really, MJF VS Brody should be next since we’re on that long road to Revolution. Brodido can fail against MJF and that makes them wonder if they return to the tag division or what, lots of possibilities there.
My Score: 9.1/10

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy Nair is with Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and the AEW TNT Champion, Mark Briscoe, but before she can start, Roddy shouts, “LEXYYYY~! I am not in the Conglomeration. But what I am is not done with you yet, Death Riders.” Briscoe says yeah, matter of fact, the Death Riders AND the Don Callis Family, it don’t matter which faction it is! If you wanna conglomerate, it is 2026, just come get it! Cuz he’ll tell ya now, he won’t keep anybody waiting! The Word of the Day is MOMENTUM! The Conglomeration has all the momentum going into 2026!
Their girl, Willow, brought even more gold to the fold with that TBS Championship! The Babes of Wrath at the AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions! Briscoe is TNT Champion, which brings us to tonight! Hechicero, you a bad man, Briscoe knows what you can do, but it don’t matter! They got momentum, baby! Briscoe is coming for ya, Hechi! And Briscoe knows the Don Callis Family is lurking, but it don’t matter, because as the saying goes, when two or more conglomerate in the same place, then you have a full conglomeration! Cassidy says yes, that’s it. So The Conglomeration is about to take over the nation! LET’S GO, TEXAS! RARARARARA!
Briscoe is all fired up as he heads out, but will he still be the Face of TNT? Or will the Alchemist of Lucha Libre have just the spell to cook the Sussex County Chicken?
Brody King VS Barrett Brown!
It seems the Death Riders won a little too fast for our two hour bare minimum broadcast, so that gives the King of Death an opportunity to shine. Will Brody’s brand of violence bring home the bacon? Or will he get caught off guard by-
OH, well Barrett DIVES out at Brody! But Brody catches him! APRON CHOKE SLAM! The fans fire up and bark for Brody as he steps into the ring. The bell rings, Brody runs in and SPLASHES Barrett! Barrett flops down, the fans bark again, and Brody CANNONBALLS! Brody drags Barrett up, reels him in and GONZO BOMB! Cover, Brody wins!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall
Well, that didn’t take all that long, either! Brody high-fives the fans, and his amigo, Bandido, is here to celebrate! Will the Outlaw win the AEW World Championship this Wednesday in Phoenix? Or will that Scumbag, MJF, find a way to survive in the desert?
Josh Alexander walks ‘n’ talks.
“I know what everybody is wondering: Where is the great Don Callis right now? Well, he has flown back to Tokyo to celebrate Okada’s monumental victory at WrestleKingdom. And both of them will be watching live tonight! Tonight, when El Clon is yet again victorious on Collision. Tonight, when Hechicero brings that TNT Championship back to the Don Callis Family where it belongs!” And yes, Lance Archer is beating up local enhancement talent just for fun while Alexander drags along another. The Walking Weapon tells JetSpeed they should’ve stayed down where Mark Davis & Jake Doyle left them.
But now, they will learn a lesson, and Alexander has faith in their friends, The Demand, in teaching them that lesson tonight. Archer LAWN DARTS a guy into another, then says, “Everybody dies!” The Don Callis Family destroys everyone in their way, but will they do that to Komander and Mark Briscoe tonight? Or can Conglomeration and Conglomeration adjacent survive the Collision?

Mercedes Mone throws a fit.
The CEO is still a mess from being thrown into and onto cake, and she says Willow Nightingale can smile and laugh and play hero, but heroes don’t build divisions, ICONS do! Over 500 DAYS as TBS Champion, and not because Mone was lucky, but because she was undeniable! She was the greatest! PWI’s number one wrestler of the year, and Sports Illustrated’s number one wrestler. It doesn’t matter what year it is, Mone will always be the greatest. Ever since Mone arrived in AEW, she has been nothing but disrespect! She is so sick and tired of it! Time to show you b*tches a lesson! She is taking a break from AEW to show just why and how SHE elevated this place!
Good luck without her! Because in return, she’ll collect more than just titles. Mone laughs while spilling pearls, will AEW flounder without the Money Train?

Backstage interview with Eddie Kingston, Ortiz, and the Grizzled Young Veterans.
Lexy Nair is with The Mad King, #Monkey, Zack Gibson and James Drake, and thanks them for agreeing to the No Physicality clause. Now, thigs have been brewing here, but it will come to a head on next week’s Maximum Carnage edition of Collision as they go 2v2. Eddie wants to say something but Gibson interrupts. For 20 YEARS, he and Drake have had to do everything by the book just to get every single opportunity they’ve had along the way. But for someone like Eddie here, he walks the way he wants, he talks the way he wants, and he breaks every single rule that there is, yet he keeps on being rewarded.
Eddie says it’s because he wins matches. Gibson says yes, Eddie and Ortiz are great wrestlers, but the way they go about business makes Gibson sick! Drake says next week, lads, they make an example out of you. They will end the way Eddie conducts business. The worst part about this is, Eddie’s dragging Ortiz down with him, as he always does! Eddie says please, Ortiz is glad to go down in a blaze of glory with Eddie. Let it all burn! But look, if GYV wants to make it personal over how they do business, that’s fine. But you reap what you sow. And they don’t sow, they just reap! Let that marinate. Eddie & Ortiz head out, will they leave GYV out in the cold next week?

First time back together and it was like they never missed a beat! But Harley gets a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen of Texas, I am more than excited to announce that my parents are back together! Now, guys, let us clink belts in solidarity! C’mon!” They wind up, but then Thekla interrupts with, “Enough, enough, enough! Please, enough! Enough with the love and enough with the happiness already!” The Toxic Spider crouches on commentary as she tells the fans of AEW, “These are your champions? These are the women that you love?” The fans cheer that! “Well, that makes me sick! Now listen, that fake friendship of yours does nothing for me.
“And I’m lucky. I don’t need friends, cuz I have my sisters. And at Maximum Carnage, you, one after another, are going to learn what it means to get TOXIC!” Kris says we can all stand on things and look cool, Thekla. Kris even climbs onto the corner to make her point. But trust her, she gets it: Thekla has the sisters. But next week, they’ll all call her #BigStatDaddy! The battlelines have been drawn, but will these golden Babes stand tall in Phoenix? Or will the Triangle of Madness catch them all in their web?
Don Callis speaks.
“The Don Callis Family doesn’t make history, we write the history. And we’ve done it again this past week in Tokyo, Japan, in front of over 50 THOUSANDS fans, the great one himself, The Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada, slayed The Ace. Oh yeah, the AEW International Champion, Okada, put Hiroshi Tanahashi down! It is a great day to-” Kyle Fletcher steps in, and he knows WrestleKingdom 20 was a big night for The DCF, but with that out of the way, they need to talk. Someone needs to say something to Okada. Callis isn’t following. What? Did Callis not see at World’s End?
Okada not only stabbed Takeshita in the head with a screwdriver, it was KYLE’S screwdriver! The one Kyle had in case Kyle needed it against Moxley! Okada screwed them both! Callis wants Kyle to pause for a second. If he looks at this through the light of day, Kyle will see what Callis sees, which is the only one who got screwed at World’s End was Okada! Okada walked in there with the Continental Championship, and walked out without it! Kyle, on the other hand, Callis didn’t want him in the Continental Classic! He wanted Kyle focused on the TNT Championship! Kyle lost said title, so he went into the C2 to show what he could do, and he did fantastic.
But in the end, Kyle doesn’t need to worry about Okada or the Continental Championship. They should worry about the TNT Championship. Remember when they said Kyle would be the greatest TNT Champion? Well, Briscoe caught him on one, that makes their record 3-3. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that game seven is coming, and the family wants Kyle to take the title back to fulfill his destiny. That is what Callis feels is a great use of all this energy. Callis pats Kyle on the shoulder and heads out, but is The Jackal going to stay woefully and willfully ignorant? Or is someone going to force his hand soon enough?
Bandido speaks.
“MJF, you call yourself, ‘The Devil.’ But he devil only succeeds when good men are afraid. And I am NOT afraid of you! I come from falling down, from being told I wasn’t enough, and still here I am. You hide behind money, words, and shortcuts. Everything I have earned, I have earned it the hard way. Because it doesn’t matter how you live or where you come from, it matters what is your heart. At Maximum Carnage, there will be no excuses, just two men and one truth. And the truth is, when the bell rings, your reign ends. I will be AEW World Champion!” The Most Wanted is ready for his shootout with The Scumbag, but will MJF find a way to hold onto his #TripleB?

Liona tags Ricochet back in, Ricochet aims at Bowens, and he loads up, SPIRIT- NO, Bowens slips around to waistlock! JetSpeed is back, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Ricochet! Bowens hits THE ARRIVAL! Cover, but The Gates break it!
The Gates send Bailey to a corner, Kaun sends Liona in, but Bailey dodges! Liona hits buckles, Kaun LARIATS Bailey out! Knight SATELLITE DDTS Kaun! Ricochet is back up, Bowens runs in, but he blocks boots to put Ricochet in the ropes! ENZIGIRI and then the SIDEWINDER! The fans fire up for Bowens and he goes up! But Kaun is after him! Bowens kicks Kaun, but Liona is up! Bailey DROPKICKS Liona! Ricochet back suplexes Bailey, Bailey lands out, and then Bailey dodges Ricochet to go up, up, and TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULT! Bowens then SUPER CROSSBODIES Liona! Ricochet turns around, FLYING LARIAT from Knight!
Bowens runs in, PENALTY KICK!! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and the fans fire up again! The fans cheer “This is Awesome!” “A E DUB!” Bowens winds up, MOLLY- POUNCE from Liona!! But Knight SUPERKICKS Liona! Bailey SUPERKICKS Liona! SATELLITE- NO, Liona just throws Night away! Kaun is back, he ducks the thrust kick, and Liona HEADBUTTS Bailey! Kaun si given both of JetSpeed, DOUBLE BIG ENDING! Then JetSpeed flops out of the ring. But Bwoens sends Liona into the steps! Bowens wrenches Kaun, turns him, NECKBREAKER! But Ricochet has Bowens!

Then Kaun and Liona get Bowens up, whip, and CLOSE THE GATES!! Cover, The Demand wins!
Winners: The Demand, by pinfall
Ricochet is half-conscious, but Liona helps him stand so they can celebrate. Then The Demand beats up on Bowens for pushing them this far! The fans boo, but MAX CASTER is here! But he says keep going? He’s NOT here to save Bowens? The fans cheer on The Best Wrestler Alive, but JetSpeed gets back up! Caster gets in and he starts helping! Was that all just a distraction then? The former Acclaimed beat up on Kaun, but now the Don Callis family rushes out here! They beat up on JetSpeed, Caster & Bowens, but then wait! The Conglomeration is rushing out here! Komander, Roddy, Briscoe, and Cassidy all fight the DCF!
The fans are thunderous, and now The Conglomeration and friends all stand tall! Will this build into an all out war of 8v8?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to be one last go-home to Maximum Carnage, but also to set up things for more. Very good Six Man Tag to open, but I think there was a botch on when Marina was supposed to distract and get into it with Zayda. But either way, I figured Death Riders would win. Good stuff with Marina sending Zayda into Megan, too, but with Leila Grey out, I don’t know who Zayda could get as a tag partner against them. Pac VS Darby will be really good, and I would think Darby wins out. Though maybe Zayda asks Toni & Mina for help given the feud building between Mega Problems and Love Bombs. Mina VS Frost was a good match, but not sure why we’re throwing a “secret admirer” into this.
Good filler match for Brody King, and good promo from Bandido later. But as I said on Dynamite, pretty sure MJF wins, even if he has to cheat hardcore to do it. Maybe Brody gets a (non-title) match against MJF to go for revenge but also to try and earn a match. After all, we gotta stretch things to March, so while Hangman, Swerve and Samoa Joe sort out who gets that match, other guys like Brody can get a chance. Great promo from Mercedes Mone to write herself off from AEW for awhile. Not sure what project she might be part of in “Hollywood,” but it’d make sense if she needed time off to do that instead.
Very good promo from Josh Alexander as we get another moment of The Don Callis Family just roughing up randos. But I don’t think Don Callis was really in Japan, because they really screwed up the “live from Tokyo” promo he did. Japan is 14 hours ahead of the US East Coast, so 8PM to 10PM for Collision is 10AM to noon in Japan. Kayfabe is dead because people can’t do math. But all that aside, Kyle confronting Callis about Okada’s behavior is good stuff, and I would definitely love to see a Don Callis Family Civil War. Kyle can join Konosuke on one side, Okada will lead the other with Callis supporting him.
Awesome match from Clon VS Komander, so many times I had to replay things so I could be sure about what I saw. Great win for Clon, I’m sure he’ll build a winstreak comparable to Hologram’s so that when Hologram returns, Clon VS Hologram will be Streak VS Streak. Great promo from The Conglomeration, and great match from Briscoe VS Hechi. Briscoe winning was obviously going to happen, but Callis also talking “game seven” of Kyle VS Briscoe is itself a great TNT Championship idea, maybe for Revolution. Maybe Briscoe keeps battling other members of the DCF before then, like Josh Alexander and Lance Archer.
Then we got two great trios matches as an unofficial double main event. Very good showing for Maya, Hyan and the returning VertVixen, but of course our three women’s champions win. Good promo from Thekla, and not sure if Kris needed to respond, but it was a good response. The Triangle of Madness probably cheats to win and earn their way to title matches, and maybe we get both title matches (Kris VS Thekla for the world title, Babes of Wrath VS Sisters of Sin for the tag titles) on a special edition episode. And great stuff from Bowens & JetSpeed VS The Demand, but I figured The Demand would win.
Their beatdown of Bowens of course brought out Caster, though I do appreciate Caster pretended he was here to cheer The Demand on. We’re just a little bit closer to The Acclaimed truly reuniting, and maybe they pull it off by Revolution so they can challenge FTR for the tag titles. And even then, great ending with like 15 or 16 guys all fighting out there. They could do a massive team match or a team battle royal, just something to get all this faction fighting done in a big way. I still wonder about that Stadium Stampede involving Kenny Omega & The Elite, too.
My Score: 8.9/10
