BREAKING NEWS on Samoa Joe!

While preparing for not only Hangman Page but the road back to the AEW World Championship, the Samoan Submission Specialist suffered a non-contact injury during his training. It is not clear when he will be medically cleared but we all wish Joe a full and speedy recovery.

Kenny Omega VS Rocky Romero!

The Cleaner dared The Jackal to send more of his “family” after him, so Azucar has stepped up to the plate! Will Romero make Kenny’s road back to the world title very rocky? Or are the Best Bout Machine’s best days still ahead of him?

The bell rings and Rocky runs up to fire hands right on Kenny! The fans boo as Rocky keeps on Kenny in the corner, but he backs off as the ref counts. Only for Kenny to TOSS Rocky into the corner and fire back! The fans cheer, Kenny whips corner to corner, and Kenny runs in for a BIG back elbow! Then Kenny TOSSES Rocky out, takes aim, and PLANCHAS! Down goes Rocky and even Kenny is shocked. Kenny storms up on Rocky to put him in the ring, then spots a fan’s sign that says, “I FINALLY get to see Kenny Omega! Can I get a hug?” Kenny obliges and hugs the fan! The fans cheer, and Kenny rolls into the ring after Rocky.

Kenny builds speed, then hits the KOTARO KRUSHER! And a KICK to the side for good measure! Then a SLAM DUNK! The fans fire up with Kenny while Rocky flounders to ropes. Kenny says BANG and runs, but Rocky bails out! Rocky knows Kenny’s bag of tricks well, but Kenny hurries out after Rocky. Rocky slides back in, then uses the ref as a shield! The fans boo, but Rocky KICKS low! Rocky fires hands and forearms against the ropes while the fans boo more. Rocky whips, Kenny reverses, but Rocky slides under the boot to ASAI DDT! Cover, TWO! Kenny survives but Rocky stalks him to the corner. Rocky CHOPS, then winds up.

The fans boo as Rocky hits the LARIAT! Then he LARIATS again! That’s two-ever, and Rocky runs back in, but into a BOOT! The fans fire up as Kenny drags Rocky up, brings him around, and full nelsons! Rocky breaks free, ELBOWS Kenny, then cravats! SLICED- NO, Kenny slips free of the cravat, then blocks a kick. Kenny ducks the enzigiri but not the REWIND HEEL! Kenny staggers to the corner, Rocky gives us the sliding soccer celebration, but the fans boo. BLINDSIDE V-TRIGGER! Rocky was getting cocky and Kenny made him pay! Then he hits the SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! The fans fire up as Rocky’s back on the ropes.

The fans join in with Kenny as he says BANG, then runs to V-TRIGGER! Kenny hurries to Electric Chair Lift, ONE WINGED ANGEL! Cover, Kenny wins!

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall

When it comes to the Don Callis Family, another one bites the dust! Kenny is continuing that climb, and Tony Schiavone and his volt sneakers step into the ring. Schiavone has the mic to congratulate Kenny on what was really a high stakes win. But also congratulations on being in classic wrestling shape! The fans cheer that, and Schiavone says this puts Kenny into the top four. It is Kenny, Hangman Page, and then the two men in the main event tonight, Andrade El Idolo and Swerve Strickland. Now as it stands, the last two standing will go on to Grand Slam: Australia on February 14th to fight 1v1, and the winner of that is the #1 contender, going onto Revolution in Los Angeles!

The fans cheer, and Schiavone brings us back to the main event, Swerve VS Andrade. The winner of that match faces Kenny Omega next week in Las Vegas! Big stakes for everyone involved! Kenny takes the mic to say he hates repeating himself, but he said it last week: He hasn’t felt this good in years! AEW is supposed to be where the best wrestle. The fans cheer that, and Kenny says if he didn’t feel like he’s at the top, he wouldn’t stake his name and claim a shot at MJF’s world title! So whether it is someone he hates, like Don Callis and his entire “family,” or someone that he loves, this is just business, and Kenny WILL become Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Well, speaking of the latter, here comes the Millennial Cowboy! The fans cheer as Hangman has a mic of his own as he goes to the ring, and these good friends stand across from each other again. Hangman says Kenny looks good. But look, truth be told, after all these years, Hangman would rather be fighting beside Kenny rather than against him. The fans cheer that, and Hangman says, “But… With the World Championship at stake, Kenny, then so be it. I made the mistake as world champion of looking past and looking beyond Samoa Joe & The Opps. I thought about months and months, the defenses that I would have. And I thought about defending that championship against you. I did.

“But because of Hook, and because of a kick to the balls from MJF, I lost that championship, and the chance to regain it. But this time, Kenny, this time is different! And this time, Kenny, as I hate to say it, with as much fire and passion as you have now, you will not be the next champion.” The fans are a bit torn there, but Hangman says the next champion won’t be Andrade, and it won’t be Swerve. The next AEW World Champion is going to be Hangman Adam Page! The fans are again torn, but then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

The Realest has his own mic and he says, “Now excuse me for sounding like a damn broken record around here… I feel like I gotta reiterate the fact that I came back to AEW for a world championship. And ever since I came back, I have not been pinned, I am undefeated, I am not the one that was pinned in that 4 Way at World’s End. So as far as I’m concerned, I’ve got just as much right at the world championship as you do.” Swerve steps into the ring with Hangman and Kenny to tell them that his mission remains the same: He is going to come back and get that world championship.

And as the Most Dangerous Man in AEW, he doesn’t care who he has to stomp out, ravage, and go through to get what he wants! It can be against anybody, and he does mean anybody. Kenny tells Swerve that Kenny fancies himself as pretty astute at reading the room. And as much as “Hanger” and Kenny have their eyes on the prize, it feels like there’s a little bit of animosity here. It feels like that just as much as Swerve wants the belt, it sounds like he is just looking for a fight. Swerve laughs and says more than Kenny knows. These two stare down, but then Don Callis finally walks out here to say, “I have something important to say.”

The fans boo as Callis saunters out here, and he tells Swerve that he hears him talking about he’s undefeated. Well, enjoy it, because you don’t have much longer until Andrade pins you tonight! And “Lil’ Kenny,” Daddy Callis is here to tell you that when Andrade beats Swerve, he is coming for Kenny in Vegas! And as for Hangman, well, Callis hasn’t forgotten about you. Callis has something special for Hangman and EVERYONE who thought that they were going to come out here and do business! They’ll understand that the Don Callis Family runs this show! The fans boo, Hangman, Swerve, and Kenny can’t believe Callis is serious.

Callis has issued his warning, but Kenny has the music cut so he can tell Don that Don’s going on about what Swerve has to worry about, what Hangman has to worry about, and heck, even what Kenny has to worry about. Here’s the thing, Don: Maybe, just maybe, you should be worrying about yourself. Kenny rushes up the ramp! Callis runs like the coward he is, and then Hangman and Swerve take their time in following. We are counting down the minutes until the epic main event, but who will score their ticket to Dynamite in Las Vegas?

The Cosmic Babes of Wrath speak.

Harley Cameron tells Thekla that tonight, she will suffer toxic shock syndrome, courtesy of their Cosmic Killer champion, Kris Statlander! Kris says Thekla came in hot with the “very original” live long and prosper parody. It was… cute. But tonight, Thekla will live shortly and die. Willow Nightingale also puts the Sisters of Sin on notice because we all know how this will go. Julia & Skye will show their faces, then Harley & Willow will just rip them off. So how about they make a deal? This Saturday, Collision in Arlington, the Babes of Wrath put the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships on the line, so long as the Sisters of Sin stay out of Kris VS Thekla.

Harley says tonight, the itsy bitsy spider gets taken out by the Big Stat Daddy Long Legs! Get it? Let’s go! The champions of AEW are ready, but will The Triangle of Madness accept their terms?

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Ace Austin!

The Maniac continues to speak on the grind and the fight that is being truly great in this great sport. Meanwhile, the Bang Bang Gang’s newest member has been building momentum of his own between Collision and ROH, so now he puts himself to the test here on Dynamite! Will Ace hit the jackpot in Austin? Or will Moxley deny The Inevitable?

The bell rings and we have twenty minutes on this. But Moxley just BOOTS Ace down! Moxley drags Ace up, CHOPS him, then puts him in the corner again to CHOP! And CHOP! The fans rally while Moxley brings Ace around, and he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Moxley puts Ace in the corner, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, and Moxley goes PAST TEN, to about TWENTY! The fans fire up as Moxley stops but the ref reprimands. Moxley storms up on Ace, Ace fires body shots, but Moxley just HEADBUTTS him down. The fans rally, Moxley stands Ace up again, but Ace headlocks. Moxley powers up but Ace holds on, and Ace hits a takeover!

Ace floats and hooks an arm to roll Moxley into a ghost pin, TWO! Ace CHOPS, but Moxley just brushes it off. Moxley eggs Ace on and Ace CHOPS again! That one stung! Moxley CHOPS, Ace CHOPS, and repeat! The fans cheer as the CHOPS keep going, then they KICK and KICK! They trade forearms, even, and Ace wobbles. Ace kicks back, ROCKS Mox, but Mox JABS, body blows, and ROCKS him in return. Moxley whips, but Ace grabs ropes. Moxley blocks a boot, eh flips Ace to the apron, but Ace RAMS down low! Ace steps in, somersaults to wheelbarrow and arm-drag! And then DROPKICK! The fans fire up while Moxley bails out!

Ace hurries to aim, PLANCHA, but he lands safe on the apron as Moxley moves. Moxley runs up, Ace handsprings over the sweep, and then handsprings again to PENALTY KICK! The fans cheer as Ace takes aim again, but Moxley goes all the way to the railing. Ace is annoyed and hops off the apron while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ace storms up to kick and punch away on Moxley, then he climbs up onto the railing so he can rain down fists! The fans cheer, Ace reaches TEN, then he CHOPS! Moxley staggers but he goes to the ring. Ace pursues, snapmares, and KNEES Moxley in the back. Ace wraps on a headscissors squeeze! Moxley endures, even as Ace puts on the pressure. Moxley turns Ace, pops out the back and floats to a headlock. Ace endures, rolls Moxley to a cover, TWO! Ace waistlocks, then floats to ELBOW away on Moxley! Not quite Hammer ‘n’ Anvil but he still HAMMERS Moxley down, then adds a KNEE DROP!

Moxley rises up but Ace fires more forearms. Ace KICKS Moxley’s leg, KICKS again, then fires haymakers. Moxley staggers around, but Ace KICKS him again! And DROPKICKS a leg out! Moxley sits up but Ace DECKS him! Ace clamps onto Moxley with a TRIANGLE HOLD! Moxley endures, reaches out, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally as Moxley fights around, and he stacks Ace up, TWO! Ace lets Moxley go to bring him up, but Moxley RAMS him into the corner! And RAMS him again and again! Moxley puts Ace up top to CHOP! The fans “WOO~” while Moxley climbs up. Moxley HEADBUTTS Ace, then CLAWS his back!

The ref reprimands, the fans tell Moxley he’s sick, but Moxley brings Ace up for the SUPERPLEX! A hard landing for both men and the fans fire up again! A standing count starts while both men stir. Ace goes to the opposite corner and Moxley stands at center. The fans rally up again and Moxley runs in, LARIAT! Moxley keeps moving, but Ace avoids the lariat to short arm LARIAT in return! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Both men rise up, and Ace KNEES low! Ace winds up to KICK then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Click click, LEG DROP! The fans fire up with Ace as he goes to the corner and takes aim!

Ace runs corner to corner, A-LIST LARIAT! Then a flurry of LARIATS in the corner! Ace goes all the way to TEN, then he shoves Moxley out. Ace steps in, but Moxley avoids the Flying Chuck! LARIAT! The fans fire up as Moxley snarls and Ace sputters. Moxley reels Ace in, but Ace BACKDROPS free! But Moxley sunset flips, TWO! Ace high stacks, TWO! Moxley sunset flips again, TWO! both men stand, Ace CHPOS but Moxley ROCKS him! Ace and Moxley trade shots but Ace is wobbly. Ace SLAPS Moxley, so Moxley ROCKS him again! Moxley eggs Ace on, so Ace HEEL KICKS! The fans fire up while Moxley drops to his knees!

Ace traps Moxley for the JAMMING STOMP! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but ace is shocked! Moxley slowly rises but Ace stands him up. Moxley fires a forearm, Ace fires back, but Moxley KNEES low. Ace KICKS the leg, Moxley KNEES Ace again. Ace KNEES Moxley, CLUBS away on the neck, but Moxley JABS! And BODY BLOWS! And repeat! Moxley fires shot after shot, ROCKS Ace again, then goes corner to corner, but Ace slips through the gap! Then the step in, FLYING CHUCK connects! Cover, TWO! Moxley survives but Ace takes aim! He deals the- CUTTER!! Moxley turns things around on Ace, and now DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (denies Ace Austin a title opportunity)

Ace took him to the limit but Moxley did not fold, and- Whoa, wait, KONOSUKE TAKESHITA is here! The Alpha storms down to the ring, perhaps in response to Moxley calling out Don Callis’ “boy” last week. Konosuke points right at the Continental Championship, reminding Moxley that Konosuke won in the round robin phase of the tournament. Moxley says he remembers, and he’ll gladly give Konosuke his shot. Konosuke nods and signals he will be champion. But wait, DAVIS & DOYLE ATTACK?! The fans boo as Davis has the SLEEPER on Moxley, then feeds him to Doyle’s FOREARM SHOT!

The fans boo as something awful just happened to The Maniac! But will Davis & Doyle make sure to bring those AEW World Tag Team Championships home to the Family? Or will FTR still be the #TopGuys?

AEW TNT Championship: Mark Briscoe VS EL CLØN w/ Don Callis!

We saw Rocky Romero fall to Kenny Omega, then saw Konosuke call out Moxley before Davis & Doyle fell the Continental Champion. Will the Don Callis Family be on the upside with taking this title back? Or will the Sussex County Chicken finally avenge the fallen Hologram?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who will #ManUp as the Face of TNT!

The bell rings and Don Callis is on commentary now as he has all the confidence in Clon to bring this gold back to where it belongs. The fans rally up as Briscoe and Clon circle. The two tie up, Clon headlocks, but Briscoe powers up and wrenches out to wristlock. Clon rolls, handsprings, and headlocks back. Briscoe powers up and out but Clon reverses that to whip Briscoe. Clon drops down, hurdles over, and builds speed. Clon rolls off Briscoe’s back. Briscoe dodges the haymaker, Clon says hold on, and then he ELBOWS Briscoe down! Cover, ONE! A bit cocky on that pushup cover but Clon goes after Briscoe in the corner.

Clon hushes the fans as he winds up, and he CHOPS Briscoe! The fans fire up and Clon shakes out his hand. Clon whips corner to corner, Briscoe goes up and out, then Briscoe CHOPS back! And UPPERCUTS! The fans cheer as Briscoe then DUMPS Clon out! Briscoe CHOPS in return! The fans fire up while Briscoe throws hands on Clon at the desk. Briscoe HEADBUTTS Clon, then he brings out a chair! Briscoe tosses the chair into the ring, claps with it, and the fans cheer along. Callis complains but Briscoe sets the chair up. Briscoe builds speed, but Clon slides in, handsprings with the chair, to simply fold it up.

Clon then CHUCKS the chair, but Briscoe gets clear! Briscoe then CHOPS again! The fans fire up as Briscoe stomps away. Briscoe whips corner to corner, but Clon goes up and over and handsprings, but Briscoe disrupts the slow-mo kip-up with a shove! But Clon just handsprings again, for the slow-mo kip-up! Briscoe dodges a lariat to LARIAT back! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he builds speed to WRECK Clon with a dropkick! The fans fire up as Briscoe then aims from the apron, BLOCKBUSTER to the floor! The fans fire up and Briscoe high-fives the front row. Briscoe stands on the railing, the fans cheer more, and Briscoe goes back to the ring.

The fans cheer for “DEM BOYS!” as Briscoe brings Clon back up. But Clon traps Briscoe’s head under the apron skirt! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Clon DRIVE-BY DROPKICKS Briscoe! Briscoe flops down but Callis says bueno. Then Clon BOOTS Briscoe down before Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Clon brings Briscoe up, whips him hard into steel steps, then he soaks up heat while throwing up the C. Clon KICKS Briscoe against the steps, then pushes him against the steel so he can stand on Briscoe’s head! The ref reprimands, Clon steps off at 4, and Briscoe staggers away. Clon follows to shove Briscoe in the ring, then pushes him to a cover, TWO! Clon pushes Briscoe down again, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Clon gets annoyed. Clon clamps onto Briscoe for a GROUND COBRA TWIST! Clon CLUBS and SLAPS Briscoe’s side, then puts on the pressure into a GROUND COBRA CRADLE! TWO and Briscoe goes to a corner.

Clon storms up to SMACK Briscoe, CHOP him against the ropes, then CHOP him in the corner! Briscoe sits down but Clon stands on him! The ref reprimands, Clon soaks up the heat, then Clon hops off at 4. Clon argues with the ref, then stomps a mudhole into Briscoe. Clon drags Briscoe up, bumps him off buckles, then winds up to CHOP again! And stomp again! Clon sits Briscoe down, digs his boot in, but stops as the ref counts. Clon then mule kicks Briscoe! Clon digs his boot into Briscoe’s leg, then wraps an arm around the ropes! The ref reprimands and counts but Clon stops at 4. Dynamite returns to single picture as Clon drags Briscoe up.

Briscoe fires body shots and the fans rally behind him. Clon fires forearms in return, then whips corner to corner. Clon LARIATS Briscoe, then ROCKS and SOBATS and KICKS and ROCKS and GAMANGIRIS! The fans are torn over that fast combo, but Clon cravats to snapmare Briscoe. BOX JUMP LIONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe survives and the fans fire up again! Clon drags Briscoe up to the corner, but Briscoe fires body shots! Clon fires hands, then shoves Briscoe away. Briscoe comes back, blocks a boot, and he UPPERCUTS Clon down!

Briscoe gets Clon in the ring, and the fans cheer on “DEM BOYS!” Briscoe runs, but into a SUPERKICK! Briscoe wobbles. Clon runs, and he drop toeholds Briscoe onto ropes. Clon dials it up, but Briscoe dodges! Briscoe taunts Clon to then JAB, JAB, JAB, JAB, and some Redneck Kung-Fu, UPPERCUT meets ROUNDHOUSE! Both men stagger back, and then run back in, DOUBLE LARIATS!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! Briscoe pounds the mat and the fans rally again. Briscoe and Clon rise again, and Briscoe has a wild look in his eyes. Briscoe storms up to ROCK Clon! Clon ROCKS Briscoe back!

The fans rally for Briscoe and the forearms keep going! Clon swings again, but into a clinch! EXPLODER! Clon goes to a corner, Briscoe takes off the elbow pads, SPLASH in the corner! Then the FISHERMAN BUSTER! Briscoe goes up, up, and Callis panics as Briscoe hits the FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, TWO?!? Clon survives and Callis is relieved, but Briscoe just reels Clon in! The fans fire up for the underhooks, JAY DRILLER!! But Clon kips up!? Clon is inhuman as he just shakes it off! Clon SOBATS and whips, but Briscoe reverses! Clon goes up, BOOTS Briscoe, then reels him in to go up and over! MATRIX PELE!

Briscoe tumbles out, Clon goes out, BOX JUMP ASAI MOONSAULT! Callis says this might be his greatest signing ever! Clon puts Briscoe in while the fans go nuts for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Clon goes up, up, and DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS!! But that’s not all, Clon hooks Briscoe up with the half nelson and leg-trapping hammerlock! But Briscoe fights free, only for Clon to ENZIGIRI! Clon torture racks to then spin, only for Briscoe to pop free! And roll-up, BRISCOE WINS!!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Championship)

Callis protests the count, but Clon just got caught off guard! Briscoe grabs a mic to shout, “HELL YEAH!” The fans cheer, and Briscoe says, “Texas, I said hell yeah~!” The fans echo back, “Hell yeah~!” Briscoe says here’s the thing: He told us from the beginning that he ain’t doing no ducking, no dodging. He is reigning and retaining, and we will be right back in BAH GAWD TEXAS this Saturday night! And Briscoe personally loves the concept of the TNT Championship Open Challenge. One little asterisk: NOBODY from Don Callis Family this time. Briscoe’s getting tired of y’all! So with that said, anybody else! Saturday Night Collision in Arlington, Texas, TNT title, who wants it?!

Wait, the lights go out. And when they come up… A BLACK HEART IS BEATING! “My shadow knows my story…” And out steps the PSYCHO KILLER, TOMMASO CIAMPA! He even gets pyro! The fans go wild as the former ROH icon, a former NXT Champion and former WWE Tag Team Champion, is now #AllElite! Ciampa and Briscoe meet again after roughly a decade in different worlds and the fans are losing their minds. Briscoe says okay then. Ciampa wants the TNT title, and he gives a kiss on the cheek before he heads back out. But will Ciampa go straight from newest signee to Face of TNT? Or will Briscoe be more than ready to #ManUp all over again?

Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher.

Renee Paquette is with the Protostar, and she brings up that he is here at the request of… Kazuchika Okada! The Rainmaker now steps into frame, and he tells Kyle that a few weeks ago, Kyle told Don that someone needed to say something to Okada. But Okada needs to say something to Kyle. When Okada took the Callis Family screwdriver at World’s End, he wasn’t thinking, he just wanted to win. Okada wanted Kyle to win, too, so he could face Kyle in the finals, keeping the Continental Championship in the family. But Okada did not mean to hurt Kyle. So Okada asked for Kyle to be here so Okada could say… He’s sorry.

Kyle says he was really, really mad at Okada after World’s End, but it takes a big man to admit his own faults. So because of that, Kyle accepts the apology. Okada and Kyle shake hands on it, and things are patched up between them. But will this help the Don Callis Family be even stronger from here on out?

MJF is here!

Austin, Texas is torn as the Scumbag AEW World Champion walks out here, mic already in hand, as he gets his pyro sparkler rain and walks down the ramp. MJF has them cut his music, then he puts his sunglasses away while the fans cheer. MJF says, “I’m just gonna be honest. Taz, why do they have us working in a dump like this? I mean, God, this place sucks! I’ll keep my composure. Okay, the champ’s speaking, that means we listen, okay? It’s not complicated. We listen.” But then BRODY KING interrupts! The fans cheer and bark but MJF demands they cut the music and quit it with the barking!

The music spots but the barking does not. MJF says, “You’d think with big-ass ears like those, you’d be able to listen. But apparently, you’re as deaf as you are big and stupid! Oh wait, time out! Time out!” Brody storms the ring but MJF goes to the far side. The fans bark more, but MJF says they can do that all they want, but is Brody gonna be a professional right now? Are they going to talk this out like men? Brody stays back, MJF steps back inside, and the fans chant for Brody. MJF tells “Bark Boy” that last week, he made it very clear that if Brody wants his shot at the best wrestler in the world and his title, he needs to beat people that matter.

And yet, here Brody is, following MJF like a lost puppy. Which makes sense! Brody followed Malakai Black around… By the way, you guys were so spooky together! It really terrified MJF how they turned lights on and off. Awe inspiring. And then, Brody started following… Buddy Matthews… A name that strikes fear into the hearts of his opponents~! How’s Buddy’s ankle, by the way? Oh, that’s right, MJF doesn’t give an F! And now, Brody follows around a guy who, much like all these fans here in Texas and watching around the world, is a complete loser in Bandido. So y’know what? MJF has an idea, “Brodster.”

Maybe Brody should follow MJF around! Hear him out. Maybe MJF will pay Brody handsomely! Brody’s big, tall, dangerous, talented. MJF could use a guy like that. Now, they’ll have to fix the… aesthetics, so to speak. No offense, but never in MJF’s life has he ever met a Liberal man who looks even more like a Nazi than a Nazi. The fans boo but MJF says he’s the one talking! But hey, we can fix this! They can get Brody a suit, a scarf, he’ll look great. Because this pipe dream Brody has of winning the title, or even just beating MJF, that’s cute, but that’s all it is: a dream. The fans boo, but MJF says the reality here is…

That in order to be champion of the world and hold the most prestigious title that there is, you need to be a leader like MJF. And sadly, Brody, just like all these shmucks, you are nothing more than a follower. The fans boo more, but Brody gets a mic of his own. Brody tells MJF, “First off, I don’t need to follow anybody. What you just described throughout my career is what’s called, ‘friends.'” The fans cheer that. Brody says that is something MJF has, in his entire life, never really had. Last Wednesday, MJF said Brody hasn’t beaten anyone credible enough to make a case. And y’know what? That’s fair.

So Brody sat down with Tony Khan, and they both thought… Who would be an opponent that would best prepare Brody for a world title match? And y’know who they chose? MJF! The fans cheer that! MJF is confused, but Brody pats him on the shoulder. Follow Brody on this, MJF: Next week, Las Vegas, Title Eliminator Match. And when Brody beats MJF, he’ll earn his title shot for Grand Slam: Australia! Then Brody will become the leader that AEW NEEDS! Brody barks right in MJF’s face, the fans join in, and MJF’s jaw almost hits the floor! The Scumbag stuck his foot in his mouth and didn’t even know it! But will Brody’s fist get in there, too? Or can The Devil survive in Sin City?

The Young Bucks speak.

As we watch a highlight reel of the aftermath that was their losing EVP status (and wealth), Nick Jackson says that humbling was what they needed. Matt adds that sometimes, a power trip takes you nowhere. Now, it is time to go back to their roots. Tassels, superkicks, and the superkick party! This goes to the entire AEW Tag Division: You are all on notice, and it all starts in Las Vegas. It is time to get back to what made The Young Bucks THE Young Bucks. So you are all cordially invited to the SUPERKICK PARTAAAAY~! Who will be the first “guests” when Dynamite arrives in Vegas?

AEW Women’s World Championship: Kris Statlander VS Thekla!

The Cosmic Killer and the Toxic Spider went back and forth verbally, but it was the chaotic way in which the Triangle of Madness won their Six Woman Tag that granted Thekla the golden ticket to this title match. The time for talk is over, because actions speak louder than words! Will Thekla catch Big Stat Daddy in her web? Or will Kris crush this eight legged freak?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the most toxic!

The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris and Thekla stare down. They slowly step up, and Thekla offers a handshake? The fans know not to trust that, but Kris takes Thekla at her word. Kris slowly reaches out, but Thekla leaves her hanging to again mock the Vulcan hand sign. The fans boo while Thekla laughs, but then Thekla SLAPS Kris! But Kris doesn’t budge! Thekla is rather surprised to see that, and she scurries away before Kris can grab her! The fans boo but Kris waits on Thekla since there’s Champion’s Advantage. Thekla takes her time but she returns to the ring, and the two reset. They approach but Thekla avoids the grapple.

Thekla takes a swing, but Kris blocks it! Kris ROCKS Thekla, CHOPS Thekla, then whips. Thekla goes Spider-Woman in the ropes, hanging upside-down even as she taunts Kris. Kris runs up, Thekla sits up to dodge the baseball slide, and then Thekla RAMS Kris, only for Kris to catch her! Kris CLUBS away on Thekla, then GUILLOTINE LEG DROPS! The fans fire up while Kris flexes and Thekla flops. Kris drags Thekla up, brings her around, and suplexes Thekla up! The fans cheer as Kris keeps Thekla up for TEN before the SLAM on the floor! Kris leaves Thekla behind to refresh the ring count before standing her back up.

Thekla kicks again, but Kris blocks! Kris trips Thekla, then has the legs to CATAPULT her into steel steps! Thekla slumps down while the fans fire up again. Kris drags Thekla up, puts her in the ring, and flexes again. The fans cheer, but Thekla runs up to BOOT Kris to the floor! The fans boo but Thekla grins while Kris sputters. Thekla goes to the apron, then leaps to DOUBLE STOMP Kris down! Kris writhes while Thekla paces, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Thekla gets the fans heated up while she waits on the ref to check Kris. Kris clutches her back but she’s not giving up, so Thekla goes into the ring. Thekla then slides back out so she can drag Kris up and whip her into the steps! Kris hits hard and tumbles over the steps! Thekla mocks Kris’ pain while Kris goes to the barriers. Thekla storms up on Kris, drags her up, and waves to the fans before she whips Kris hard into railing! Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers before she drags Kris back up. Thekla puts Kris in the ring, talks some trash, then stalks Kris. Cover, ONE! Another cover, TWO! Thekla is frustrated as she goes for a third cover, TWO!

Kris snarls as she toughs it out, but Thekla stomps her down. Thekla kicks Kris, looms over her, then brings her around for a neck wrench! Kris endures even as Thekla brings her up by her hair. Thekla snapmares Kris, then basement SUPERKICKS! Kris sputters, Thekla kneels for a cocky cover, TWO! Thekla kicks Kris around, then clamps on for a CROSSFACE! But she also FISHHOOKS Kris’ mouth! The ref reprimands, Thekla stops, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Thekla stands Kris up, but Kris ROCKS her! The fans fire up as Kris puts Thekla up top, but Thekla catches her for the HANGING HEADSCISSORS!

The fans are torn, but the ref counts. But wait, Kris drags Thekla into the ring, REVERSE ALABAMA SLAM into the buckles! The fans fire up again while Thekla sputters. Kris runs in and LARIATS! Then a whip corner to corner, and Kris runs in again for an UPPERCUT! Then she goes side to side to KNEE WASH! Kris isn’t stopping there, she hooks a leg, FISHERMAN DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Kris is actually amused by that! Kris fireman’s carries Thekla, but Thekla fights to the apron! Thekla ducks a haymaker to HOTSHOT back! The fans are torn but Thekla has Kris in the ropes to then BOOT her back down!

Thekla climbs, aims, but Kris avoids the leap! LARIAT! Kris then drags Thekla right into the drop zone and goes up top! The fans cheer but Thekla already rises. Thekla SLAPS Kris to sit her down! Thekla then climbs up the corner to the very top, hooks up in the ropes, and she tells Kris, “Here we go, champ!” Thekla ROCKS Kris with a forearm, then brings her up. SIPDER SUPERPLEX! Kris flounders while Thekla smiles upside-down. Thekla then sits back up, takes aim again, and SUPER CROSSBODIES! Down goes Kris and the fans fire up! Thekla is feeling it as she stands back up and pounds the commentary desk!

Thekla puts Kris in the ring, covers, ONE?!? Kris survives and now Thekla’s amused! Thekla runs, Kris dodges, and Kris UPPERCUTS! Kris runs, but Thekla SPEARS outta nowhere!! But she can’t make the cover! Thekla crawls, she and Kris get forehead to forehead, and the fans rally up again. Kris fires the first SLAP, then the next! Thekla stands up to wind up and SPIT at Kris! Then she ducks, dodges, and tilt-o-whirls into the IRON OCTOPUS!! Or perhaps a BLACK WIDOW STRETCH! Kris endures, so Thekla YANKS the arm! Then CURB STOMPS! Cover, TWO!! Now Thekla is pissed, and she aims from the corner!

Kris rises slowly as Thekla does the Spider-Walk! The fans fire up as Thekla aims and- SUPERKICK from kris! Gut wrench and the tuck, but Thekla wriggles down to victory roll! TWO!! Kris escapes, spins, but Thekla goes Matrix to avoid the discus! Kris hits buckles, Thekla runs in, but Kris snatches her! Gut wrench and BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB?!? And then the gut wrench, tuck, STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!! Cover, Kris wins!!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Championship)

The Cosmic Killer shouts out her bestie as part of the finish, and speaking of, Willow & Harley join Kris to celebrate! But wait, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford walk out on stage. The Megasus & Superbad Girl are perhaps putting all three champions on notice, wanting all that same gold. And given the deal, Julia & Skye behaved themselves, meaning they get their own shot at the Women’s World Tag Team Championships. Will the Sisters of Sin redeem the Triangle of Madness this Saturday on Collision? Or will everyone #FeelTheWarth?

The Don Callis Family regroups backstage.

Don Callis stands with #ProtoShita and says The DCF has been in heavy recruitment mode for some time. And now, it is time to mobilize those resources to bring gold home to Daddy. Andrade has already declared himself for THE AEW World Championship, and he will be one step closer to that after he defeats Swerve Strickland. Okada-san is still the AEW International Champion, and Takeshita made it very clear: He beat Moxley before, he looks to do it again. His performance was fantastic. The only thing keeping Takeshita from bringing that title home is… a word of advice. Take Kyle’s lead here, and just like he did, Takeshita should forgive Okada.

And speaking of Kyle, he is synonymous with the TNT Championship. If you looked in a dictionary, Kyle’s picture would be right next to the word, “TNT.” And whatever happens with that ingrate, Mark Briscoe, and that Ciampa, understand one thing: Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher is waiting on the other side to bring the TNT title home to the DCF! And speaking of titles, Davis & Doyle are about to squash FTR! Callis will make himself a martini and tune in. Kyle says yes, please enjoy. Callis heads out, leaving ProtoShita to talk. Konosuke asks if Kyle really forgave Okada. Kyle wants “Take” to understand, but Konosuke storms off. Is the dysfunction only going to get worse?

The Demand speaks.

Ricochet makes sure the camera is just right as he tells all his “Frequent Fliers” out there, this is your captain speaking. Originally, we were meant to hear from “Jungle” Jack Perry, but it would seem he’s a little preoccupied. Ricochet shows that Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona have Jack caught and tied up! But wait, Jack breaks loose! Jack jumps onto Liona for a SLEEPER! Ricochet panics but Kaun CLUBS Jack down. And then THROWS him into spare railing! Ricochet mockingly says let’s get that interview now that Jack has time to talk. Ricochet asks Jack what he was thinking in trying to threaten Ricochet last week.

Jack shoves Ricochet, but Liona drags him right up to THROW him into a spare barrier! Ricochet again continues this mock interview by asking what Jack was thinking claiming he’d take the AEW National Championship. Oh, well, he doesn’t seem interested in answering any questions. But in the meantime, get him up! The Gates stand Jack up, then lift him up! Ricochet tells Jack that this is what happens when you try to take what is Ricochet’s! CLOSE THE GATES through the table! Ricochet sends things back to commentary, AHA~! The Demand strikes first, but will Jungle Jack have the last laugh?

AEW World Tag Team Championships: FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Mark Davis & Jake Doyle w/ Don Callis!

While Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood just keep adding to their tag team legacy, they don’t really take this team made from thin air and beefy muscles very seriously. Will nothing end FTR’s historic third reign as AEW’s best tag team? Or will Davis & Doyle take the #TopGuysOut?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really dominates this division!

The teams sort out and Doyle starts against Cash. The fans rally, the two tie up, and Doyle SHOVES Cash to a corner. Doyle eggs Cash on, he and Cash tie up, then Cash headlocks. Doyle powers up and out, Cash RAMS him, but Doyle doesn’t budge! Cash runs, Doyle scoops, but Cash slips free. Cash shoves Doyle, but Doyle RUNS Cash over! And RUNS Cash over, and RUNS Cash over! The fans fire up as Doyle keeps moving! Cash drops down, but Doyle BODY CHECKS him on the return! The fans cheer but Dax is upset. Doyle whips Cash hard to the corner, tags Davis, and they double whip Cash to DOUBLE SHOUDLER TACKLE!

The fans rally as Davis brings Cash up, but Cash RAMS him into the FTR corner! Tag to Dax and FTR mugs Davis! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Cash stops. Dax steps in, headlocks, but Davis powers up and out. Davis and Dax RAM shoulders, then Davis CHOPS Dax off his feet! The fans fire up while Dax sputters away to the corner. Davis storms up, CHOPS Dax, then CHOPS again! The fans fire up with Davis, but Dax CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Davis CHOPS back, Dax CHOPS again, but Davis scoops, SLAMS, and SENTONS! The fans are loving it while Dax sputters! Davis runs up on Cash, but Cash DUMPS him out!

Doyle runs in, Cash DUMPS him out, then Cash builds speed! Cash DIVES, but the big men catch him! and LAWN DART him into Dax! The fans fire up as D&D stand tall over FTR while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

D&D fetch FTR, and Stokely stays back, though he’s in his tricked out wheelchair so there’s not much he can do anyway. Doyle puts Cash in the ring while Davis CLUBS and CHOPS Dax against barriers. Davis even DUMPS Dax into the crowd before he CHOPS again! Davis then drags Dax back over barriers to CLUB him down! Davis throws the chair aside just so he can put Dax in the ring. Davis storms in and puts Dax in a corner to CHOP! Davis whips corner to corner hard and Dax falls back from the buckles. Cover, TWO! Davis drags Dax up, tags Doyle, and they mug Dax. Doyle LARIATS Dax in the corner, then whips him corner to corner!

Doyle runs up, Dax ELBOWS back and fires off CHOPS! Dax bumps Doyle off buckles, tags Cash, and snap suplexes Doyle down! Cash gets a boost in the SLINGSHOT SPLASH! Cover, ONE!! Doyle is tougher than that, but Cash basement DROPKICKS him down! Cash jump stomps away at the ropes, then rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Cash stops to bring Doyle up, and he bumps Doyle off buckles. Tag to Dax and he CHOPS! Dax ROCKS Doyle, but Doyle puts him in the DCF corner! D&D mug Dax, then Davis throws haymakers. Davis puts Dax in the open corner, CHOKES him, then stops at 4.

Davis whips but Dax blocks by holding ropes! Davis still tries but Dax still holds on. Davis CHOPS Dax, whips, but Davis blocks again! Dynamite returns as Dax and Davis CHOP back and forth! The “WOO~” echoes out with every CHOP! These two just aren’t stopping and the fans love it! Dax has a bloody chest from CHOP after CHOP! Davis whips, but Dax wrenches to short arm LARIAT! Davis doesn’t fall, so Dax LARIATS again! Davis BOOTS Dax, Dax SWATS a lariat to JAB and LARIAT! But Davis ENZIGIRIS! Then the rebound and LARIAT!! Cash hurries in, dodges Doyle, but Doyle jumps, into the POWERSLAM!

Cash fires up, the fans are with him, but Doyle is right back up! BODY CHECK! Doyle fires up and the fans cheer him on now! Doyle vows to end this with Davis! They get FTR up, and Doyle runs in for a DOUBLE SPLASH! Davis adds a DOUBLE SPLASH! The fans fire up and Doyle puts Dax up top. Doyle ROCKS Dax again and again, then climbs up. Doyle brings Dax up, but Cash YANKS Doyle down! And DDT off the apron! Davis LARIATS Cash for that, then goes up after Dax himself! But Dax slips under, trips Davis up, and he goes up to get behind Davis. They go to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER BACK SUPLEX!! Cash goes up to add the GLORY!! Cover, TWO?!?

Davis survives and the fans fire up but Stoke is upset with the ref! FTR regroups to get Davis up, and they whip for the- NO, Davis BOOTS Dax and LARIATS Cash out! Then Davis has the SLEEPER on Dax! Dax RAMS Davis into buckles, but Davis holds on! Davis uses the buckles to kick back but Davis just holds on tight! Dax is fading, Cash is climbing up, but who is this getting on the apron? Is that Daniel Garcia? The Death Riders are here at ringside as Dax FLINGS Davis out! Garcia distracts the ref so that Moxley can CLOBBER Davis with the Continental Championship! Payback for the sneak attack earlier!

The fans are torn, but Davis staggers up into a SHATTER MACHINE!! Cover, FTR wins!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Stokely is starting to change his opinion on Moxley thanks to this assist. Moxley sent a message back to the Don Callis Family that if you go after him and his, you better make sure it’s permanent. Will The Jackal have something to say about this? As for FTR, will they continue to survive through this third reign?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.

Renee Paquette is with Freshly Squeezed and says she is glad to catch up with him. She would love to talk the ongoing saga with The Death Riders, and specifically, his history with Wheeler Yuta. Cassidy says it feels like forever but it’s been just five years. To think back on where Yuta was five years ago and to see where he is now… Who is that? He is unrecognizable! Look at that dumb, bushy beard! And that hair that’s a little too long to be cool but not so long that- Yuta steps in and tells Cassidy he can’t believe this is what they’re resorting to now. Sure, Cassidy doesn’t like the Death Riders or how Yuta gets the job done, but now he’s insulting personal appearances?

What? Should Yuta get himself a “Canadian tuxedo” (all denim outfit) like Cassidy? Maybe slick his hair back? Marina even GRABS Cassidy by the hair! But then TONI STORM storms in! And she tells Marina that Marina is like a dose of The Clap. No one knows how she got here but she needs to just go away. Marina asks Toni, “Do you need some more milk? Or would you like me to send your girlfriend some more flowers?” Toni says she needs Marina to piss off! Because when Toni and “Citrus Boy” meet Marina in that four poster, Marina’s gonna be in some deep s*it!! Marina says she’s ready for that.

Security hurries over to separate everyone, and Toni tangos with Cassidy as they exit. Renee is at a loss for words, but will we only need body language to understand this one?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Darby Allin said he is not going to stop taking risks, so he’s going to take on Unbound Company’s Clark Connors 1v1! Will Darby prove he’s relentless after this Collision? Or will it only take a Jeep Flipper and No Chaser to wake Darby up? Plus, CRU called out The Rascalz, so the Rascalz they shall get! Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Dezmon Xavier & Zachary Wentz, who proves they are the real must-see kids? And don’t forget, Briscoe VS Ciampa for the TNT Championship and Babes of Wrath VS Sisters of Sin for the Women’s Tag Team Championships! It’s a Texas sized Collision for their Arlington residency finale, but who survives the weekend?

AEW World Championship #1 Contender’s Stakes: Andrade El Idolo VS Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana!

La Sombra called out The Realest last week, and it was Tony Khan who upped the ante! The winner here moves on to Dynamite in Las Vegas to face Kenny Omega, and the winner of that goes on to Grand Slam: Australia to face Hangman Page for the right to be THE #1 contender! But will the night have a tranquilo ending? Or will Austin be Swerve’s House?

The bell rings and Callis of course rejoins commentary for this, suddenly back to speaking Espanol badly. Then he insults Nana, saying he shouldn’t even be out here, he barely does anything. Swerve and Andrade circle while the fans chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Andrade laughs that off as he and Swerve circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and Andrade headlocks. Swerve powers up but can’t power out, and now fans chant for “I-DO-LO! I-DO-LO!” Swerve powers up and powers out this time, but Andrade RUNS him over, then cocky covers! Swerve is up before a count even starts, and he says it’s gonna be like that, huh?

Swerve and Andrade start pushing, and the fans fire up as the pushing becomes forearms! Swerve KNEES low, whips, but Andrade reverses. Andrade hurdles, Swerve cartwheels over, and Swerve RANAS, but Andrade handsprings through! Andrade RANAS, but Swerve handsprings through! Swerve picks a leg, rolls with Andrade, but Andrade avoids the House Call! The fans fire up as Andrade backs off and Swerve smirks. Swerve says it was that close, and the fans cheer “A E DUB!” for making this match possible. Andrade and Swerve reset, circle, and feel things out. They knuckle lock, and Andrade kicks low!

Andrade CHOPS, CHOPS, and he puts Swerve in a corner. Andrade whips, Swerve reverses and UPPERCUTS! Swerve snapmares Andrade and goes up, but Andrade tranquilos! The fans cheer as Andrade grins, but Swerve still jumps. Swerve blocks the boots, they knuckle lock and teetertotter for Andrade to go up, up, and he YANKS Swerve up to join him! But Swerve uses that to jump up and RANA! The fans fire up while Andrade bails out! Swerve builds speed and FOSBURY FLOPS, only for Andrade to duck under! Swerve manages to tumble through, but Andrade sends him into the steel steps! The fans are torn while Swerve writhes.

Andrade flexes, then he swaggers his way over. Oh, Andrade takes a picture with a new female fan. She’s a bit more forward as she gives Andrade her number, and even kisses the napkin as an extra little memento. Andrade tucks that away for later, then goes back to Swerve while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Andrade fireman’s carries Swerve for SNAKE EYES off the steps! Swerve staggers away but Andrade pushes him into the ring. Andrade pushes Swerve to a cover, TWO! Swerve toughs it out but Andrade clamps onto him with a chinlock. Swerve endures the grind while Nana rallies the fans. Andrade shakes his head but Swerve fights up. Nana coaches Swerve and Swerve stands, but Andrade THROWS him down by his hair! Swerve goes to a corner while the ref reprimands, but Andrade takes his time taking off his gloves. Andrade stomps a mudhole into Swerve, but he stops as the ref counts. Andrade then steps up to CHOP!

Swerve turns things around to ROCK and CHOP Andrade on repeat! Andrade fires back with knees and CHOPS, and Swerve sputters against ropes. Andrade stands Swerve up to snapmare and chinlock. Andrade grinds Swerve down again but Swerve still endures. Again Nana coaches Swerve and again Swerve fights to his feet. Dynamite returns to single picture as Swerve fires body shots. Swerve whips Andrade away to a corner, then he runs in, only for Andrade to put him on the apron. Swerve ROCKS Andrade, but Andrade DECKS Swerve! The fans rally, Andrade builds speed, TRIANGLE JUMP TORNILLO!

The fans are thunderous for that one, and Andrade puts Swerve back in the ring. Andrade goes up, up, and MOONSAULT DOUBLE! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives and Nana is relieved but Andrade is frustrated. The fans rally and duel while Andrade brings Swerve up. Swerve ROCKS Andrade! And ROCKS him again, and again, then runs. But Andrade BOOTS him against the ropes! Andrade watches Swerve tumble out, so he goes up the corner! But Swerve hurries up and ROCKS Andrade first! Then Swerve fireman’s carries Andrade off the corner, to APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! The fans fire up while Andrade writhes on the floor!

Swerve snarls as he shakes out his arm and goes over to Andrade. Swerve drags Andrade up, puts him in the ring, then drags him back out so he can put him on the barrier! The fans fire up while Swerve climbs up to join him, ready to do him like he did Kevin Knight! But Andrade fights the lift to BACKDROP Swerve on the barrier! The fans lose their minds while both men fall down, but Swerve clutches his back while Andrade crutches his ungovernables! That landing was not tranquilo… “This is Awesome!” as the ring count climbs. We pass 5 of 10, but both men rise up at 7! They manage to stand at 8, and they LEAP in at 9.9! The fans cheer as the match continues!

Swerve and Andrade rise up slowly, and they stare down as they do. “This is Awesome!” as the forearms start flying back and forth! Swerve SOBATS, HAYMAKERS, then ROLLING- NO, Andrade ROCKS Swerve first! Andrade fires boxing elbows, then fires up to underhook! Swerve fights the Message to wrench and ELBOW! Then Swerve runs, but into the SHADOW ELBOW!! Both men are down but Andrade manages to cover, TWO!! Swerve gets his arm up just in time and the fans are loving this! Callis is, too, oddly. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but the show’s gotta end somehow! The dueling returns while Nana coaches Swerve.

Andrade rises, the fans clap along, and Andrade goes corner to corner and back again, into a JUMPING HOUSE CALL!?!? Cover, TWO?!?! Andrade survives and shocks everyone! Swerve snarls and goes to the corner. Swerve climbs, but Andrade trips him up! Andrade CLUBS Swerve, climbs up after him, then fires more hands. Andrade shifts around, “This is Awesome!” as Andrade climbs onto Swerve! SUPER POISON-RANA!!! And then Swerve ends up in a corner! CIEN KNEES!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Swerve survives, the fans can’t believe it, but Andrade skips that for LA SOMBRA DDT!!! Cover, TWO??!?!? HOW?!?!?

The fans are thunderous for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Callis says Aubrey Edwards failed math if she can’t count to three! Andrade underhooks but Swerve fights with all his might! Trip and jackknife, TWO! SHADOW EL- NO! Half nelson fir BIG PRESS- VICTORY ROLL! TWO!!! Both men stand, HOUSE CALL!!! But Swerve isn’t satisfied, he adds the BIG- NO, Andrade grabs at Aubrey! She gets away, but misses the LOW BLOW MULE KICK!! The fans boo but Andrade hits the DIRECT MESSAGE!! Cover, Andrade wins!!

Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall (advances to next week)

Callis loves it! El Idolo took the low road, but now he’s meeting another of his nemeses in Kenny Omega for another high stakes match! Will Andrade make things tranquilo in Vegas? Or will the Latin Idol not survive Sin City?

Renee is quickly with MJF to get his response to this development. Andrade VS Kenny, MJF VS Brody, how is he feeling? MJF chuckles and says he’ll explain something to us: “That oversized bag of milk with sharpie written all over him thinks he can beat the world champion. He’s got another thing coming. It’s not happen-” But then Kenny walks in! And he tells MJF, “Where are my manners? Look, I should’ve said hi to you earlier, but I just wanted you to know… One more week, one more win. And then I’ll see you for that at Revolution. So here’s to our future title match.” Omega offers a handshake, but MJF leaves him hanging.

MJF turns around and walks away, only for Andrade to be walking back in through the curtain. El Idolo and The Devil stare down. Andrade says he’d slap MJF right now if he could. But first, he’ll get the title. MJF keeps on moving, AEW Media following, and we go to the parking lot. MJF’s ride is waiting, but before he can open the door, Hangman Page is there! The Cowboy looks at MJF, and then the belt, then nods to the car. MJF gets in the car and tells the driver to go. The car takes off real fast into the night, and Hangman Page has a smirk on his face. Is the Scumbag finally feeling the pressure now that the walls are closing in?

My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, at least when it comes to action. I don’t want to say “typical,” but it does seem to happen a noticeable amount of times that Tony Khan doesn’t fully think things through. He basically gave us a tournament without giving us a tournament. Granted, maybe he was gonna give us a tournament before Samoa Joe went down with an injury during training, because Joe VS Hangman would’ve been some awesome stuff for either tonight or Collision this Saturday. But great promo from Schiavone with Kenny to help kick off the explanation on how things are going, and Hangman basically gets the bye cuz no Joe, and he already beat Shibata before.

Great promo from MJF and Brody, and them setting up a Title Eliminator was a natural move. Honestly, I feel like Brody should win the Eliminator so that we can get MJF VS Brody for Australia and add to that night. Then it at least teases the possibility of Brody VS Hangman/Omega, though those still aren’t very likely. Andrade VS Swerve was a great main event, but given this was leading to a match with Kenny, it makes sense that Andrade won. And the ending segment was great to tease all the possibilities for MJF. Depending on how they play this, they can detour Hangman away from the title by having Joe interfere so they can finally settle things at Revolution.

Awesome match from Kris VS Thekla, and I did appreciate they put the tag title deal forth. Granted, I don’t see Skye & Julia winning the tag titles on a Collision. Plus, Megan and Penelope just made their interests known: All the belts. They would of course be a Two Woman (Goddess?) Power Trip, Megan as the world champion, Penelope as the TBS. Granted, one of those is likelier than the other, and it’s Megan overpowering Kris. As I’ve said before, the tag title match should be for Grand Slam Australia. Harley & Willow can win big over Megan & Penelope in front of Harley’s family and friends, and then we get Megan VS Kris and Penelope VS Willow for Revolution.

Good promo from The Young Bucks but it feels like a week late. I get the nature of their surprise return to help Jack Perry with The Demand, but then this promo should’ve been the very next show. And very good beatdown style promo from The Demand and Jack Perry, but something about it also felt out of place. Why not have this happen on Collision last Saturday after Jack had his promo warning Ricochet? It’s almost like admitting Collision isn’t watched by many, or doesn’t matter, or both. That aside, this makes me think Jack is definitely taking the AEW National Championship so he can do some traveling to other promotions, too.

Don Callis Family was super busy tonight. Rocky of course lost to Kenny, but then we ran into more of the odd decisions by TK. Moxley VS Ace was a great match, and as great as Ace is, Moxley winning made sense. Konosuke confronting him for the Continental title also makes sense, and even Davis & Doyle attacking Moxley on Konosuke’s behalf made sense, until we didn’t have the tag title match right then. Granted, waiting on the tag title match gave Moxley kayfabe-believable time to recover and come back with the Death Riders. But maybe that could’ve still happened regardless. Also maybe it would’ve saved Doyle’s bicep, which he tore during the match. AEW’s injury bug is more like an injury curse and no one wants to address the elephant in the room.

Even considering the bicep tear and overbooking, a great tag match from FTR VS D&D, and now there’s more heat between Death Riders and DCF. Conglomeration seems to be feuding with both those factions at the same time, though. Cassidy & Toni had a very good promo from Marina & Yuta, that is clearly our mixed tag match, and I wonder if Mina Shirakawa gets involved to “accidentally” cost Toni & Cassidy. Briscoe VS CLON was an awesome match, and an awesome showing for Clon, but his win streak is over already. But as I’ve said before, Clon ended up in a bad situation after Hologram’s injury, and this was good enough for now.

The big stuff from the Don Callis Family was the sibling rivalry of Okada and Takeshita taking another twist where Kyle is stuck in the middle again. Again, a Don Callis Family Civil War is coming, and it feels like Kyle is the tiebreaker in that situation. Whichever side he chooses (and he should choose Konosuke) wins out in the end.

My Score: 8.9/10
