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!

Wedge after wedge in Darby’s spine, and yet Pac is stoic. Pac drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, and the ref wants Pac to wait. Pac says ring the damn bell then!

As Samoa Joe said, The Bounty Hunter is looking to finally bring down The Millennial Cowboy. Joe wants Hangman out of the title chase, Keith wants to finally get his win back, will it be two birds with one stone?

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
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…
Cruz scurries away and Brody says see you soon, Jon! Brody heads to gorilla, will he use Cruz as an appetizer while we all wait on the main event? Will tonight be a great night for Brodido?
Brody King VS Jon Cruz!
Maximum Carnage returns as Brody makes his entrance, and the overly-dressed Cruz is chucking his shoes at him! They don’t really do much, and Brody steps into the ring. Cruz runs up, CROSSBODIES, but he bounces off Brody! The bell rings, Cruz is dazed, but Brody CHOPS Cruz back down! The fans fire up while Brody watches Cruz go to a corner. 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?

Which is why it took two people to jump her. But unlike these other girls, Zayda bullies the bullies. Dante calls out the Don Callis Family, and brings up the history they have. Top Flight knows how they move and operate, just like CLØN. He’s already building an undefeated streak, but they’re looking to change that. And Kyle Fletcher gets his big return to TV, but he ain’t ready! Which leads us to Josh Alexander. Alexander is so focused on Kenny Omega that he is not ready for the athleticism of this team.
Scorpio Sky says everyone is thinking about what’s next, when they should focus on the now! Christopher Daniels says the morning doesn’t matter if you can’t make it through the night! Scorpio snaps his fingers and the lights go out. Will all the members of Sky Flight be in top gear for Maximum Carnage Night 2? Or will they be the ones down and out after this Collision?
Six Woman Tag: Kris Statlander & The Babes of Wrath VS The Triangle of Madness!
The champions of the AEW Women’s Division brought that sugar, spice, and everything nice to Collision, but they’re going to leave the fun stuff at home for this one! It will be Maximum Carnage as promised, but will things be cosmic or toxic in Phoenix?

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!
The fans rally while MJF watches Bandido go to the corner. MJF stomps Bandido, digs his boots in, but the ref counts. MJF stops at 4, but then he wraps the bad arm around ropes! The ref counts again, the fans boo, but MJF stops at 4. MJF runs up but Bandido BOOTS him! Bandido goes up, up, but MJF hits the ropes to trip Bandido up! MJF THROWS Bandido down, then he mocks the macarena! MJF swivels the hips, but Bandido fires forearms! The fans cheer as Bandido does the macarena, then ROCKS MJF! Bandido whips, MJF blocks, and the arm jams! MJF whips, but Bandido handsprings up and over!

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 wrenches Bandido again, hammerlocks the arm again, and then RAMS Bandido into buckles again! Bandido slumps down in the corner while MJF flexes and swaggers to soak up the heat. 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!

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!!!

MJF drags Bandido back, and he hooks on an omoplata! A YES LOCK!?! Bryan Danielson can’t believe what he’s seeing from commentary!
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

Winners: The Young Bucks, by pinfall (advance to Dynamite)
They said they were getting back to their roots, and they got the win with a classic! But then, before The Bucks can really celebrate, FTR interrupts via the tron. Cash Wheeler introduces himself, Dax Harwood & #BigStoke, and Stokely congratulates The Bucks for winning and advancing to the #1 contenders match. But to think that in 2026, the Year of Our Lord, Beyonce Knowles, it is The Bucks thinking they will become AEW World Tag Team Champions. But Stoke knows why, it’s because The Bucks want their moment holding up the belts while their boy, Kenny Omega, is once again AEW World Champion, and they want Jungle Jack to be some kinda champion.
The Elite want their moment, but guess what? It’s not gonna happen, because you wanna relive the good ol’ days. The thing about the “good ol’ days” is, they’re the old days! Stokely wishes he could feel his legs so he could get out this chair and SLAP reality back into The Bucks! Dax says we don’t even know who the third team is, but that’s okay, because what we do know is that The Bucks, for the better part of ten YEARS, have been chasing FTR’s legacy. And that’s okay, because that’s a legacy they will never catch. FTR are THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, but more than that, they are ELEVEN-TIME World Tag Team Champions!
So good luck in Ontario, California, FTR actually does hope The Bucks advance. Because it’d be no better pleasure than FTR giving Bucks one last loss. Because The Bucks might be good, but they’re not FTR good. #TopGuysOut! The Bucks don’t take any of that seriously, but will there be a Superkick Party in SoCal? Or will that wild card team be quite the surprise?
Brody King speaks.
It was after the main event on Wednesday that the King of Death said, “I just did exactly what I was going to do, and I earned my title shot at Grand Slam: Australia. It is not lost on me that there are many people that would consider that the biggest win of my career. And y’know what? They’re right. Until next Saturday at Grand Slam: Australia.” Brody is more than ready for his rematch with MJF, but will the Scumbag find a way to hold onto his title Down Under?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
She welcomes us back to Collision, and says without further ado, give it up for THE AEW Women’s World Champion, Kris Statlander! Vegas cheers as the Cosmic Killer makes her way out to the ring, holding up the title. Kris grabs her own mic as she joins Renee, and Renee says next week on Dynamite, Kris will have one more match with Thekla for the title, but the caveat is that Kris gets to choose the stipulation. The fans are reacting to something, though, and Renee turns around to see Thekla in her Spider Stance! Renee bugs outta there, Kris turns around into the TOXIC SPEAR! The fans boo but Thekla invites the Triangle of Madness in.
The fans boo as Skye Blue & Julia hart hold Kris down so Thekla can use her own belt to LASH Kris again and again! Then Thekla grabs the mic to tell Big Stat Daddy, “I don’t care what the stipulation is! The end will always be the same!” Then she LASHES Kris more! The fans boo as Thekla stands over Kris and holds up the title belt. “The end will be toxic!” The fans boo as The Triangle of Madness stand over Kris. But as they leave, Kris grabs her mic! Kris shouts at Thekla to get her attention, then says, “You stupid b*tch. Now… You get to meet STRAPLANDER!” The fans like the sound of that!
Kris says this Wednesday, Kris and Thekla, in a LEATHER STRAP MATCH! Thekla smiles and nods, and it is official! Who will literally get to whip the hell out of the other in order to prove they are THE alpha female of AEW?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher.
Lexy Nair is with The Protostar and brings up Tommaso Ciampa winning the TNT Championship. Kyle made it clear that night that Kyle wanted the TNT title back. But then Ciampa issued the open challenge, only for Kyle to skip it. That allowed Roderick Strong AND Claudio Castagnoli to answer it instead. Kyle says Ciampa wants to keep the tradition of the TNT Open Challenge alive, and yet he’s changing the rules so that it’s come one, come all, bring everyone and your grandma! Kyle does not respect that. Now, Roddy and Claudio have jumped Kyle in line, and… Kazuchika Okada steps in!
Kyle says hey, Okada says hi, and Okada says they’re family. Okada cares about Kyle’s success, unlike Takeshita, who is just so focused on himself and that Continental Championship. So Okada wants Kyle to walk into his home country for Grand Slam: Australia as the TNT Champion! Whoever wins tonight, Kyle should make it clear that he is next. Take that title back so you can be a champion, just like Okada. Okada then adds, “Protokada~!” before he leaves. Passive aggressive or not, The Rainmaker does have a point. Who will the Aussie Arrow be aiming for after tonight’s main event?

That wasn’t just high-flying but hard-hitting! The Jet keeps the momentum going for his trio, and both sides show the other respect. The fans applaud the sportsmanship, but who will be stepping up to challenge JetSetRodeo for their gold?
Hook speaks.
“Alright. So it’s obvious. The Opps are in a much different position today than we were just a few weeks back. I mean, we were on top of the world, dominating anything in our way. We had the Trios Championships and the World Championship. But all that’s gone now. But I do have some breaking news for you. As you know, our former world champion, Samoa Joe, is out injured. But Joe’s not only a Hall of Fame caliber wrestler, he’s also an incredibly intelligent leader. So while Joe’s out recovering, he’s decided to appoint me as the new boss of The Opps. I take this as a great sign of respect, and it’s something I will not take lightly.
“See, I’ve been the captain of every single sports team I’ve ever been a part of. I was born a winner, I was born a leader. I inspire people, man. So you’re not only looking at the greatest second generation wrestler of all time, now you’re looking at the boss of The Opps.” The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is in charge, but will he make sure The Opps are still #NeverLacking?

It was also after Wednesday Night Dynamite’s main event that Maxwell Jacob Friedman was FURIOUSLY shouting for Hangman Page! “You wanna stick your nose in my business?! Is that what you wanna do?! Is that what you wanna do?!? Well, you’re gonna get handled, my friend! I pray to God, I pray to GOD, that you beat Andrade! Because I hate your guts! And Andrade, if you do win, my friend, that’ll be just as fun. That’ll be just as fun for me! You wanna know why? You call yourself a real Latino Man? My friend, I am about to lay down the Hebrew Hammer!
“Brody…! I bet you’re celebrating right now, I bet you’re real happy you’re up in Vegas. You’re about to paint the town red here in Sin City! Let me explain something to you crystal clear: Tonight was a fluke. If it was not for that crooked cowboy, you wouldn’t have had a prayer. And at Grand Slam: Australia, the reason I am looking ahead of you, the reason I am looking at Andrade, the reason I’m talking about Hangman Adam Page, is because you don’t stand a chance! My back is up against a wall. My back is up against a wall! And when my back is up against the wall, that is when the Devil is at his most dangerous!
“You wanna bark, huh? Yeah, Bark Boy? Good. Because at Grand Slam: Australia, Bark Boy, I am going to make you my B*TCH!” MJF has spoken, but will he get his revenge on everyone on this Road to Revolution?

Jon Moxley speaks.
“So it’s settled; February 14th, in Sydney. Takeshita beat me in the Continental Classic. Scored one on us on Dynamite, too. But I don’t believe in failure. I believe in iteration. It didn’t work this way, come back and try another way. No matter what the world puts in front of us, eventually, we will succeed. But it doesn’t matter what I think, I have to go out there and live it. I have to embody it. It is my responsibility. Takeshita is not the same fresh-faced kid outta DDT that came in a few years ago, no. He has grown, he has evolved. There’s something much different. I found that out.
“Grand Slam: Australia, February 14th, in Sydney, Konosuke Takeshita at his absolute best, Jon Moxley at his absolute best, the Continental Championship. Both chasing the dragon, but only one of us is gonna find it.” The Maniac has spoken, but will he prove that he is the true Alpha here? Or will the Continental title soon return to the Don Callis Family?

Backstage interview with Roderick Strong.
Lexy Nair is with the Savior of the Backbreaker and brings up Tommaso Ciampa’s Open Challenge being answered by both him and Claudio Castagnoli. Clearly not what Roddy expected, but he still has the title shot. “LEXYYY~! What a great observation. Things lately haven’t been going the way I expected, that’s why a change is very necessary. And that is why I answered Tommaso Ciampa’s TNT Open Challenge.” Mark Briscoe steps in, and he apologizes for interrupting. But he loves Roddy taking the initiative for answering the Open Challenge. It’ll be one hell of a fight. Just like how last week, Briscoe and Ciampa had a hell of a fight.
Briscoe says hey, he really believes Roddy has what it takes to become the TNT Champion. Just like Briscoe thinks he still has what it takes to become TNT Champion when he gets another shot. But one way or another, whoever comes out of this champion, when the night is over, if it’s Roddy, just do Briscoe a solid and give his fellow Conglomerator the first shot. Roddy says thanks for the words of encouragement. But Roddy’s not in The Conglomeration. Roddy storms off, Briscoe is speechless, but will this all be a moot point if Roddy doesn’t win?

Cover, CIAMPA WINS!!
Winner: Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Psycho Killer snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, but he doesn’t get to celebrate as Kyle Fletcher makes his way out here. The fans are torn as the Protostar struts right down the ramp and into the ring. Kyle SNATCHES the belt from the ref, looks at it, then hands it to Ciampa. Fletcher is following Okada’s advice, and he has a mic to ask Ciampa, “How does it feel, champ? How does it feel to be All Elite? How does it feel to know that you will never fill my shoes?” The fans boo, but Kyle says forgive him, they haven’t been formally introduced, have they? He is the greatest TNT Champion of all time, The Protostar, KYLE FLETCHER!
And Kyle was more than happy to take the title back from that “delinquent,” Mark Briscoe, but Ciampa has thrown a spanner in the works. Now the only thing Kyle wants more than to become a TWO-TIME TNT Champion is to walk into his hometown of Sydney, Australia, one week from tonight. Kyle wants to walk into Grand Slam and get the hero’s welcome he deserves! The fans boo that but Kyle says he has a challenge for Mr. Ciampa. Next week on Dynamite, for the first-time-ever, Fletcher VS Ciampa for the TNT Championship! The fans do like that idea! Ciampa nods, then he holds up “Silvey.” Then he gives Kyle a peck on the cheek! Challenge accepted!
Ciampa goes to leave but Kyle says hold on a sec, mate. Ciampa said he came here because this is where the best wrestle? Well, next Wednesday, Ciampa finds out what the best really looks like! Mic drop from the Aussie Arrow, but will he strike gold in the Golden State? Or will Ciampa make sure “Silvey” isn’t going anywhere?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision with quite a bit put together for not just Grand Slam: Australia but also Dynamite in Ontario, California. The tag match of Bucks VS Gates went about how I expected, aka Bucks winning. With that, FTR of course had to speak. Their promo would make you think we’re getting the obvious FTR VS Bucks title match, but I’d love if that wild card team was a team that could believably win the Triple Threat and the tag titles. This could be the best possible place for Edge- er, Cope & Christian to return and get their shot at FTR. C&C VS FTR at Revolution would be a great match to finally cap off that feud from last year.
Very good promo from Brody and a great promo from MJF in response. Obviously with Dynamite being that distraction-squash what have you, Grand Slam is gonna give us a real main event level match from Brody VS MJF. But as I said on Dynamite, feels like MJF will survive to stay champion, even cheating to the max (no pun intended) to do it. Then MJF will likely face Hangman at Revolution and who knows how that goes. Hook had a good promo to let us know he will be captain of Opps for right now. Given Samoa Joe is hurt and Will Hobbs is now Royce Keys in WWE, I wouldn’t mind if Hook makes the executive decision to bring in at least one new Opps member, like someone doing well on ROH who can be “called up” to AEW.
Great match from Knight VS Scorpio, but I’m a little surprised we got this over a match with a Don Callis Family member. Good match from Mina VS Viva, but of course Mina won. The overlap of Death Riders showing up as she was exiting was good stuff, too. Very good Mixed Tag, and Yuta sure loves getting heat, it’s why he was always going after Zayda. Yuta threatening to cut Zayda’s hair to bring out Toni & Cassidy was good stuff, though, and I think Mina is going to end up a factor in the Mixed Tag. I would think she goes out there hoping to help Toni & Cassidy, but then she costs them. Though, a shaved Cassidy, or even wilder, a shaved Toni… I don’t know if they’d really pull that…
Very good promo from Kris and Triangle of Madness, in that it was an attack that then led to Kris upping the ante. Though, Thekla still having a match tonight was a bit redundant since we saw her beat up on Kris and then she absolutely squashes Brooks. I would’ve figured out how to segue from Thekla’s squash into Kris’ promo, or just flip the order completely so that Thekla squashes Brooks then attacks Kris. Either way, a Strap Match between Thekla and Kris is going to be awesome, maybe even a show stealer, and could honestly go either way. Perhaps Thekla wins on Dynamite, making her and Kris 1-1, with Revolution being the tiebreaker.
Great Parking Lot Brawl, and I like that they went with the rooftop of the parking garage. The very moment I wondered if they’d kayfabe someone being thrown off the roof, Bill threw Dez over the limo into a space we couldn’t see. But no, Dez was safe on the other side of the limo, but he didn’t make as dramatic of a reappearance as he could’ve. I did like that the limo was all smokey so they could joke about the marijuana. Isla getting involved to then motivate Myron getting involved was good stuff, too, and we got a great win for the Faces from this. I would think this is the end to the feud, there’s not much more you can do after something like this.
And great stuff with the TNT Championship tonight. Okada and Kyle had a good promo, and the Passive Aggressive Rainmaker is certainly an unexpected route for slow-burn building to Okada VS Takeshita. Great little promo from Briscoe and Roddy, with Roddy being a bit more forceful about how he’s NOT Conglomeration. Great Triple Threat for the main event, great win for Ciampa, but then great promo from Kyle to close us out and make their title match official. Now, I know they’ve teased Fletcher VS Briscoe Game 7, but I kinda want them to push on that a little longer for the sake of keeping this TNT “Division” more lively.
My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
MJF speaks.
The Scumbag is backstage as he says, “You think the world champion’s supposed to be scared of you? Why, man? Big man, lemme remind you, I hail from New York, I see guys like you on the streets all the time. And y’know what I call ’em? Homeless. And that’s exactly where you’re gonna end up after tonight’s main event. Because when I’m through with you, boy, you ain’t gonna have a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of.” MJF kisses the AEW World Championship, but is he about to owe someone a golden ticket?
Brody King speaks.
“MJF, tonight in the main event, I’m gonna hurt you. Bad. And for the first time in your life, you can’t talk your way outta this one.” The King of Death barks, will he get to take a bite out of the champ?
Kenny Omega speaks.
“One more week, one more win, and finally we can get a little bit closer to reclaiming AEW gold. In my way this week, it’s you, Andrade. And I haven’t forgotten the cowardly attack you put on me months ago. And I do know who orchestrated that attack, and that was Uncle Don Callis. Well, Don, much like you, up until this point to end my career, your efforts will be absolutely impotent. Andrade, I’ll see you in the ring soon.”
Don Callis speaks.
“Don Callis & The Don Callis Family present AEW Dynamite. That’s how it feels to me, because tonight, Takeshita takes the next step in his quest to become the Continental Champion. And he and my men are gonna leave the Death Riders laying in that Six Man Tag tonight. Same thing’s gonna happen to Hangman Page when he gets in there with the animal, Mark Davis. And then lil’ Kenny, my little b*tch nephew, you are in the ring with a real man tonight in Andrade! And Andrade is gonna stomp a hole in you and leave you for dead! And I’m gonna be so, so happy.”
The Babes of Wrath speak.
Harley Cameron says tonight, the tag champs take on Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford in an eliminator match! You ladies aren’t ready to feel the wrath! Willow Nightingale says the Babes are living their dream, so every night, they have to fight for that dream! So tonight, in the middle of Las Vegas, let’s FIGHT!
Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Superbad Girl points to the Megasus and says we are looking at a woman who leaves a trail of bodies, and Megan says that Penelope is a woman who was sidelined for months while every woman beneath her was given a shot. Penelope warns The Babes that tonight, they’re looking at their end. Will these #SuperbadGoddesses make themselves contenders by force? Or will they fall short in this golden opportunity?
Six Man Tag: Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, PAC VS Konosuke Takeshita, EL CLØN & Josh Alexander!
Just as that Jackal, Don Callis, said, this is all about the Continental Championship and bringing it back to the Family. But with The Dragon Slayer and The Bastard backing him up, will The Maniac be nigh unstoppable? Or can The Alpha, the Corrupted Copy, and the Walking Weapon avenge the losses the Family has suffered?
The trios sort out and Garcia starts against Alexander. They circle, feel things out, and Garcia rolls through the wrench. They tie up and Garcia waistlocks. Alexander switches, wrenches, and wrangles Garcia, but Garcia trips Alexander. Alexander holds Garcia off, they float around, and Garcia headlocks. Alexander powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and Alexander CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Garcia fires off forearms, then runs, but into a BOOT! Alexander CHOPS Garcia, whips him, but Garcia reverses. Alexander goes up and over, slides under the boot, but Garcia CLOBBERS him! The fans cheer while Garcia eggs Alexander on.

They tie up, Pac headlocks for the takeover, but Clon fights for the headscissor. Pac shakes that off, Clon fights to his feet, but Pac wrenches to wristlock. Clon wrenches through to wristlock back, but Pac uses the ropes to flip through. Pac wrenches, Clon rolls, handsprings, and waistlocks.

They get face to face again, but Garcia and Alexander run in! Garcia CLOBBERS Konosuke, Alexander CLOBBERS Moxley, and now it’s a brawl!
The fans are torn as Pac and Clon join in with stomping down their opponents. Garcia TOSSES Alexander, then he stomps Konosuke. Garcia KNEES Clon, TOSSES him out, and Moxley brings Konosuke over to the Death Rider corner. Garcia tags in, then he tags Pac. The Death Riders mug Konosuke, then Pac pushes Konosuke down to stomp him. Pac drags Konosuke up, bumps him off buckles, then he tags Moxley. They stomp Konosuke, and Moxley even stands on him!

The fans are fired up as Clon keeps moving, but Pac dodges to SNAP GERMAN! Pac snarls and stands back up while the fans rally. Pac stalks Clon, then builds speed with the ropes, only for Alexander to trip him! Clon hits the BOX JUMP LIONSAULT! The fans are torn but Alexander drags Pac outta the ring, just to send him into railing! Konosuke and Alexander mug Pac while Clon soaks up cheers and jeers, but Moxley hurries over!

Winners: Konosuke Takeshita, EL CLØN & Josh Alexander, by pinfall
The Callis Family get even in the faction warfare, but clearly this is just one battle. Moxley tells Konosuke that it’ll be different when it’s for the title. Will The Maniac win when it matters most? Or will the Alpha take the Continental Championship back for The Family?
Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland.
Renee Paquette is with The Realest, as well as Prince Nana, and brings up the unfortunate loss last week to Andrade El Idolo. That loss eliminates Swerve from the world title picture for now, so where will he shift his focus to next? Swerve chuckles and pats Nana on the shoulder. Nana steps up to say that their focus is right where it’s always been, and that’s at the top of AEW. Just because they lost one match doesn’t mean they lose focus. They ain’t going nowhere! Swerve & Nana head out, but then who will they be aiming at after Grand Slam: Australia?
Mixed Tag: Toni Storm & Orange Cassidy VS Jordan Oasis & Brittnie Brooks!
Tensions were already high between Conglomeration and Death Riders, and being attacked by The Decoder & The Problem threw gasoline on the fire! A Mixed Tag Hair VS Hair match awaits us all in Australia, and we’ve already seen great chemistry between The TIMELESS & The Freshly Squeezed. Will Toni & “Citrus Boy” turn up the heat? Or will they get caught overlooking their opponents tonight?
The teams sort out and while the fans cheer Toni, Orange steps to Oasis. The two circle, and Oasis says hold on. First shot’s free!

Luther attends to Miss Toni, and Cassidy gets the mic. “Hey, hey, hey. I, uh… I don’t know if this is a good idea. I like my hair.” Toni says, “Why did I mask this match? My hair is my livelihood! And without it, I’m gonna look like a boiled egg! I’m gonna look like an angry p*nis! I can’t be bald! I’ll look hideous! I’ll look grotesque! I’ll look disgusting…!” The fans feel bad cuz Luther is catching strays off that. Luther covers Toni with her robe, but then Toni stands up to say she is TIMELESS Toni Storm! And this is Freshly Squeezed, Orange Cassidy! And it’s not going down like that!
At Grand Slam: Australia, one of two things will happen. Cassidy will give Wheeler Yuta a cute lil’ combover, or Toni will make Marina look like MOXLEY! The fans cheer that! Will Marina & Yuta be able to survive the #OrangeStorm that’s coming for them Down Under?
Darby Allin skates through Las Vegas.
But then he has to watch out as CLARK CONNORS pulls his car up in front of him! Darby says fine, let’s go! But it’s GABE KIDD who CLOBBERS Darby! Gabe says Darby’s a hard man to find, they’ve been looking for him all day! And he scoops Darby to then LAWN DART him into the AEW production truck! He SPITS at the picture of Darby on the truck, then Connors brings out Wheel-san! Connors CLOBBERS Darby with that tire! Talk about road rage! Gabe then drags Darby up to shove him in the trunk! Then they drive off, having abducted him! What more will these War Dogs do to the Relentless One?
#1 Contender’s Stakes: Hangman Page VS Mark Davis!
While Kenny Omega and Andrade El Idolo battle later, The Millennial Cowboy still has to earn his way back to the world title. The Don Callis Family has chosen Dunkzilla, but will he make Hangman close his eyes and count to three? Or will Davis just be an appetizer for Hangman on the road to Grand Slam?
The bell rings and Davis SHOTGUNS Hangman into a corner! The fans boo as Davis ROCKS and CHOPS Hangman, CHOPS again, then CHOPS again! Davis roars, but Hangman fires a flurry of forearms in return! Davis scoops and SLAMS Hangman, then runs, but the senton flops! Hangman runs to SLIDING LARIAT! Hangman handsprings then basement DROPKICKS and the fans fire up! The fans rally for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Hangman CHOPS Davis! Davis snarls, CHOPS back, but Hangman CHOPS again! They CHOP back and forth, the fans “WOO~” every time. Hangman whips Davis but Davis reverses to CHOP Hangman!
Davis drags Hangman up to CHOP him back down, then holds onto that wristlock. Davis drags Hangman up again, but Hangman ducks the chop to waistlock! Davis ELBOWS free, runs up, but Hangman DUMPS him out! Davis stumbles and Hangman PLANCHAS! Down goes Davis and the fans fire up! Hangman walks it off, drags Davis up, but Davis TOSSES Hangman at the ropes! Hangman rebounds to LARIAT Davis! Hangman puts Davis in the ring, then hurries to haul him up. But Davis suplexes first! The fans boo, but Davis stalks Hangman to the corner. Davis fires off haymakers, then he runs up to LARIAT!
Hangman sputters and flops to the apron while the fans boo Davis. Davis goes out the side, lines up the shot, and he runs in at Hangman again, to BACK BODY BLOCK him against barriers! The fans boo again but Davis just soaks up the heat while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Hangman sputters while Davis stands over him. Davis drags Hangman up, POSTS him, then stalks him around the way. Davis throws Hangman into the ring, then storms his way up the steps. Hangman goes to a corner but Davis is right on him. Davis digs his boots in, then stands on Hangman! The ref counts, Davis steps off at 4, and Davis soaks up more heat.

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the Galaxy’s Greatest AEW Women’s World Champion and says in exchange for not being ringside during the Women’s Tag Title Eliminator, she will give Thekla yet another shot at the Women’s World Championship next week on Dynamite. The catch is that Kris chooses the stipulation. What will it be? Kris says she needs something deserving of THE AEW Sickos who know Kris can get way more toxic than Thekla. So she has come to the conclusion that… We’ll just have to wait until. Yes, yes, what a tease. But Kris tells Thekla that Big Stat Daddy will tell us all this Saturday on Collision.
So for now, sit down, shut up, and pray that the Cosmic Killer is just a nickname. Kris shows she can play mind games with the best of them, but just what sick and twisted idea does she have waiting for the Toxic Spider?

I promise you this much: the champ, I will not be hard to find. But I gotta let you know, Silvey, she loves her new home. And she ain’t planning on going anywhere for a very, very long time.” Ciampa gives “Silvey” a kiss before he storms off.
And BREAKING NEWS! That Open Challenge has been answered, but by TWO top names! Roderick Strong and Claudio Castagnoli only just battled over the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, and they’re BOTH getting their shot at the TNT Championship! Will we already have a new Face of TNT?

Instead, Jack doubled down and he got past Anthony Bowens to get this second chance. Will Jack win this one for Luchasaurus? Or will Ricochet make sure Jack goes belly up in Vegas?

And he sticks his camera out the window to see a body bag being dragged through the Nevada desert! Gabe has Connors stop here, and Gabe speaks into the camera again.
“You said you were easy to find. I know.” They unzip the bag to confirm that it is Darby Allin all tied up with duct tap! Gabe tells Darby they’ll see him in Hell! They’re just two doors down. Connors zips things back up, and they cut the rope so that Darby is left out in the middle of nowhere! Will Darby even make it back to civilization?
AEW World Championship Eliminator: MJF VS Brody King!
The Scumbag snatched this title at World’s End, then survived his showdown with The Outlaw, Bandido. MJF showed Bandido respect, only to flush that down the toilet by trying to sideline him! Now he has incurred the wrath of the King of Death! Will MJF find a way to escape in one piece? Or is the Devil about to die in Sin City?
The introductions are raised for that big fight feel, MJF’s banner unfurls with his introduction, and he says this is the most important title, meant only for the most important man in this sport. #TripleB is put aside and the bell rings. The fans fire up behind Brody, and MJF gets a bit worried with all the barking. Brody and MJF step up, but then HANGMAN makes his way out here?

BUCKSHOT for Andrade!! Hangman looks down at the belt, but then he looks over to MJF. Hangman drags MJF to center, goes back to the apron, and he lines up another shot! BUCK- LOW BLOW from MJF!!
The fans boo, but Brody gets MJF again! GONZO BOMB AGAIN!! Brody once again stands tall, world title in hand! Will Brody make sure that 2026 is #JustViolence?!
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite, they really stacked this card, and they really built up Grand Slam: Australia with it. Now, obviously Hangman was going to stay in the running for #1 contender, but he got a great match out of Davis. And then we got an awesome match from Kenny VS Andrade. I almost thought Hangman gave it away in his promo that Kenny would win, but then surprise! Andrade wins thanks to Don Callis and even Swerve. Swerve VS Kenny should definitely happen, maybe a promo on Collision sets that up for Revolution. Hangman VS Andrade is going to be great stuff, and honestly could go either way.
MJF VS Brody being that quick was hilarious and awesome, and I feel like they called an audible. Dynamite has been abusing the overrun privilege a little too much, and I think they knew that. Hangman distracting MJF right at the start for Brody to get that opening is a great way to do this, and MJF VS Brody for the title will be a great part of Grand Slam. Now granted, I don’t see Brody winning there because MJF can just cheat his way out of losing, but it would be something if MJF’s promise of an even longer second reign is ruined. MJF VS Hangman is just too good of a rematch to leave out of this, and that’d definitely main event Revolution.
Great tag title eliminator from Babes of Wrath VS #MEGABAD, and part of me is a touch surprised MEGABAD won. At the same time, I figured Willow & Harley would have a title defense in Australia, and Harley winning in front of family and friends can be a great way to get their win back. Kris had a good promo to hype up her rematch with Thekla, and she’s got quite a few different choices out there for stipulation. But if we’re doing a rematch with a No Disqualification based stipulation, wouldn’t that just let Sisters of Sin interfere and help Thekla win? But then that’d motivate Babes of Wrath countering… Feels like an interesting way to get us to the first All-Women’s Anarchy in the Arena or Stadium Stampede, whichever it’d be for Revolution.
Very fun Mixed Tag, and great to see Jordan Oasis somewhere after leaving WWE ID/Evolve. Cassidy and Toni momentarily regretting making the Hair VS Hair match is really clever, and Luther was catching some strays from Toni’s lament over baldness. Great match from Ricochet VS Jack, but what the what, TK? Does TK just roll dice deciding some of this stuff? Why give Jack a rematch just to have him lose again? You can still give us GOA VS Young Bucks and this Triple Threat Tag #1 Contenders match while putting that National title on Jack. Then that forces a tiebreaker for Revolution which can be a show stealing level match.
Very good promo from Ciampa to introduce us to “Silvey,” and a Triple Threat with Roddy and Claudio definitely feels like Ciampa can just take advantage of Roddy and Claudio hating each other. They clearly wanna save Kyle Fletcher VS Tommaso Ciampa for like Grand Slam or Revolution. Great Six Man Tag from Death Riders VS Don Callis Family, and Garcia looked great even in taking the loss for the team. Moxley VS Konosuke for the Continental title is going to be awesome, a show stealer even. As I said before, Konosuke could win that title, and then he and Okada feud in a way to recreate the Unified Championship. Maybe.
And good stuff with Gabe & Connors going after Darby. Them abducting and dragging Darby was good revenge for Darby doing that to Gabe, but this feud of Darby and Gabe just isn’t as hot as it would’ve been months ago. Gabe going back and forth between AEW and NJPW kinda hurt that, but Gabe has talked about being so dedicated to NJPW that I don’t see him moving on from there for a long time. I just hope Gabe and Darby finish this up with Revolution and then Gabe is full time back in NJPW for New Japan Cup, G1 Climax and so on.
My Score: 9/10
