PLAY BY PLAY

MJF is here!

And he is in no mood, so he immediately has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF says he’ll make something very clear. This show does not start until Revolution is rectified! He doesn’t know what people think he is! You think he’s some deathmatch indie bum!? He’s a REAL pro-wrestler! MJF is the best wrestler on the planet today! “Tony Khan, you get your bony ass out here right now and you change the stipulation of this match! I am NOT doing Texas Death, not a shot!” MJF again says Collision doesn’t start until something gets done! But instead of TK, he gets Kevin Knight! The Jet wags his finger at MJF as he goes down the ramp.

Knight steps into the ring and gets himself a mic to tell MJF, “Nice to see you, homie. I heard you in the back, talking about wanting to get something done. Well look no further than The Jet. Cuz if your narrow-minded ass hasn’t been paying attention the last couple of weeks, The Jet’s been getting the job done. Stacking W’s, getting the wins, and not to mention this past week on Dynamite, The Jet got the job done when you tried to weasel your ass out of that little stipulation. Do you remember that? We got the job done. Because now tonight, the job I’m getting done is shutting your whining ass up! You crybaby ass b*tch!”

The fans chant, “You’re a B*tch!” at MJF. Knight says to rectify this situation, don’t walk away from him. Because honestly, MJF comes out here and the people are tired of hearing that routine of how much better you are than them. How much money he’s got, when we all know that scarf is fake. Because when we compare the two, Knight dresses better, he has more swag than that fat ass head could ever imagine, and not to mention, MJF knows it, the people in Denver know it, the people all around the world know it: The Jet is more handsome than MJF, too! The fans cheer and MJF laughs it off, but Knight says that’s neither here nor there.

To the matter at hand, it sounds like Jet may even be a better world champion than MJF, too. So not only is The Jet the future, he is the here and now! The fans cheer but MJF looks confused. MJF says listen up, “you ignorant, arrogant child.” Knight thinks he’s a champion? He thinks he’s world championship material? He wants to tell MJF, #BigHebrew, how to do his job? No no no no no! Tell ya what, bud. Knight calls himself The Jet? Get on a jet, and fly on to El Paso, Texas. If Knight wants to be world champion, then MJF VS Knight Knight, El Paso, for the Triple B! The fans boo but MJF says no, MJF is glad Knight is smiling.

MJF promises to teach Knight a lesson. Yes, Knight is not the future, or even the now. After MJF’s done with him, all Knight will be is history. MJF mic drops and storms off, but will he regret giving The Jet this golden ticket? Or will MJF survive Dynamite in the Borderland?

AEW hears from Mark Briscoe, Tommaso Ciampa, and Jay Lethal.

The Sussex County Chicken tells the Psycho Killer, “Old buddy, man, I’m glad you finally here. Because you are exactly the type of hard-hitting individual that I love to share the ring with. Gimme a chance to get my win back, but don’t lose your focus. Tonight, you got another friend of mine in Jay Lethal.” Ciampa says the universe has a funny way of working itself out. Ciampa and Lethal, that’s a story has always felt unfinished. Lethal says he beat Ciampa for the ROH World TV Championship, it catapulted him into being The Franchise of ROH. But this time, on Collision, it’ll be another career highlight.

Ciampa says the shadow of the past comes back to haunt Lethal. This is his first step back to the TNT Championship. Briscoe says let’s get it! Which icon of honor stand tall, and perhaps even in line for Kyle Fletcher’s gold?

8 Man Tag: The Death Riders VS Don Callis Family!

While Jon Moxley will battle the NEW NJPW World Television Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, at Revolution, the rest of their team is going to battle it out in the biggest bout yet! Will CMLL World Heavyweight Champion, Claudio Castagnoli, lead Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta & PAC to another victory? Or will Josh Alexander, Lance Archer & Roppongi Vice remind us that #EverybodyDies?

Moxley is on commentary to say how he doesn’t like the Callis Family, what they stand for or how they operate. But at the same time, he acknowledges they’re a strong group, and this is turning into like the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics of old. Archer taunts Marina Shafir but she is stoic as Red Death starts against Rocky Romero. The bell rings, the two tie up, and they go around. Rocky waistlocks, Garcia wrenches to slip around and waistlock. Rocky powers Garcia back to ropes and the ref counts. Rocky lets off to give some Azucar Heat.

Trent drags Pac over to stand on his neck and choke him! The ref counts, Trent backs off, and Rocky bumps Pac off buckles. Tag to Alexander and he fires hands on Pac! Alexander digs his boot into Pac, but he backs off as the ref counts. This just lets the others choke Pac behind the ref’s back! Alexander then drags Pac out for a standing toehold.

Moxley’s just as fired up, he is very proud of his team for getting that win. Moxley says they’ll do this as many times as The Don Callis Family wants it. But wait! The Alpha makes his presence known! Konosuke Takeshita steps out on stage, mic in hand. But then he just throws hands with Moxley! The teams rush in there to separate these two, only for Moxley to get loose! The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but the teams separate Moxley and Konosuke again. But then both men break free again for another scrap! The fans cheer, the teams almost fight each other again, and things go to the ramp! The brawling continues but Marina ushers Moxley away!

The fans want to see more, including Yuta’s bald head, but we’ll all have to wait on that. Will Konosuke once again be a Double Champion after Revolution? Or will not even taking off the time limit change the result?

Tommaso Ciampa VS Jay Lethal w/ The Swirl!

As we heard from them both earlier tonight, this story goes back a ways, but is far from over. Will the Psycho Killer make sure no one will survive? Or will Lethal prove why he’s still the Franchise Player?

The IInspiration speak!

Jessie McKay introduces Cassie Lee, and Cassie introduces Jessie, and they both introduce themselves as The IInspiration! They were the highlight of the night for House Rules: Sydney, winning their AEW debut in their homeland of Australia! In fact, they were so happy that The Brawling Birds also made their tag team debut, but what Alex & Jamie did was just unacceptable! A big no-no. They tried to steal the spotlight? No no no! Ladies, you don’t have the balls to go face to face with The IInspiration! But they’ll make this easy: Grab your remotes, turn the telly on, and watch Dynamite as The IInspiration makes their TV debut in El Paso!

Now, ladies, you have three options: Step up, step back, or step aside for The IInspiration! POSE! Jessie & Cassie are All Elite, but will AEW soon be iconic?

AEW & The Dogs present…

Clark Connors wonders what’s true and what isn’t. He could tell you about every body he’s put his mark on, but would you believe him? 100 Proof knows how to fight dirty, and does it for a living. But you know what they say? No one ever truly wins in a fight. We’re getting to know Clark Connors a little better, but will he make his opponents wish they’d never met him?

The Brawling Birds VS Gypsy Mac & Tyra Russamee!

Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter indeed had successful debuts both at House Rules: Sydney and last week on Dynamite, and surely they know The IInspiration is calling them out. Will Jessie & Cassie not like the response that’s about to be sent using The Bruja Baddie & The Exotic Panther?

Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall

The Brawling Birds are birds of prey as they tear this team apart! Will The IInspiration learn the hard way that these two don’t give a flying F about ’em?

AEW hears from four teams competing for big money.

Lee Johnson tells Blake Christian that it seems they’ll have those $50 THOUSAND sneakers will be on the table after they win their $200K Tag Fatal 4 Way! But Private Party says they’re about to party it up in Arizona! What better place to blow 200K?! The Outrunners say Tucson, Truth & Turbo, 200K, they could buy so much! Maybe even a golden mansion! That’s not half bad, that’s all good! But the returning Rush y Dralistico hear “$200,000,” and they translate that to 346K Pesos! And LFI is going to Tucson to collect! Private Party says nothing personal, fellas, this is just business! There ain’t no party like a Private Party!

Then when Collision returns to Tucson, who will be rolling in the green while the others are left high and dry in the desert?

Kazuchika Okada & Kyle Fletcher VS Top Flight w/ Christopher Daniels!

While pretty much every other tag team wants to become champions, this is a tag team of champions! The Rainmaker is still International Champion, and The Aussie Arrow is once again TNT Champion, but will they prove that #Protokada are the BEST champions? Or will Darius & Dante Martin get a huge win over these great champions?

Don Callis of course joins commentary to be here for his guys, and claims he’ll handle The Fallen Angel if he has to. The teams sort out and Okada starts against Darius.

Winners: Kazuchika Okada & Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

The International & TNT Champions stand tall together, then Kyle grabs a mic. Kyle tells Denver, Colorado, “Say my full name! Now, Kyle Fletcher & Kazuchika Okada are the greatest champions in this company’s history! But now, together as Protokada, we are unstoppable! So whoever wants to step up to the two greatest champions-” Wait! JetSpeed walks back out here! Speedball double checks, Kyle thinks Protokada is unstoppable? Well, that could be true, if not for the fact that during the Continental Classic, Mike Bailey beat Kyle! And Kevin Knight beat Okada! So for them to come out here and say they’re the greatest champions in the company? The math isn’t really mathing.

Okada tells them that JetSpeed has never beaten Protokada! Kyle adds, “B***tch~!” Well, yeah, okay, that’s kinda funny, them doing the gag. But y’know what? Knight would love to see the match, this would be box office. And Okada, after Knight beats MJF for the world title, he’d love Okada to be his first defense. Bailey then brings up that Kyle has the “cow udder pink” title, so Bailey would love to beat him for that! So while they’re making matches, Jet Set Rodeo are THE AEW World Trios Champions, so they’d be more than happy to defend their belts against Protokada and any of the other 12 THOUSAND members of the Callis Family.

So make sure to choose wisely. Because the fact of the matter is that it won’t matter, the result will be the same. It is always Jet Set Rodeo on top, B*TCH! The many challenges have been issued, but how will this all shake out as we continue on the Road to Revolution?

AEW hears from Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy.

The Relentless One brings up what that Mad Man, Gabe Kidd, has been saying, about how this won’t be over until Darby’s pushing up daisies. There’s a reason he didn’t die in that car crash when he was five! There’s a reason he didn’t die on Mount Everest! Because he has so much more to offer. This story doesn’t end with him down, it will be Darby & Orange VS The Dogs! It’s SHOWTIME!

Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Zayda Steel w/ Christopher Daniels!

The win in Grand Slam: Australia was a fun little romp for the TIMELESS One, getting to shave Wheeler Yuta’s head in front of her people in Sydney. But now, it is time she writes her comeback story as she seeks the championship again. Will it be a story of thrills and dominance? Or will the Real Deal make it a much grittier struggle for our hero?

The bell rings and Toni offers a handshake. Zayda shakes and even kisses the hand! The fans cheer and even Toni’s surprised by that. Toni and Zayda circle, tie up, and Toni slips around to headlock for the takeover. Zayda fights around, headscissors, but Toni kips free. The fans cheer the standoff and now Zayda offers the handshake. Toni caresses the hand, only to knuckle lock it! Toni and Zayda have a Test of Strength but Zayda powers her way to a headlock. Toni powers up and out, then RAMS Zayda! Toin says that won’t work, darling! Zayda runs to RAM Toni, but Toni just sniffs Zayda. The fans fire up but Zayda is uncomfortable.

Hook speaks.

The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil starts his Opps recruitment pitch, saying everyone wants to join in. Hey, does this guy wrestle? Yeah, he does. Wanna join The Opps? Um, sure! Yeah, Hook bets he does. Idiot! Hook laughs and leaves that guy behind, but Anthony Bowens steps in. The 5 Tool Player says hello to Hook, and to “Shibata-san” behind the camera. But he understands they’re recruiting. He doesn’t know how many people know this, but Hook is one of Bowens’ best friends. Bowens has had Hook’s back since they both started here, so Bowens thinks it’d be a fantastic idea if he continued that by joining The Opps.

And if that’s not enough, they’d be adding a former AEW World Tag Team Champion, a former AEW World Trios Champion, and the Pride of Professional Wrestling. Hook does agree, they’re friends. And Bowens doesn’t need to sell himself to Hook. That is impressive. But this is business. The question is: Is Bowens a proper fit for The Opps? The Opps is a group of killers, from Shibata to Samoa Joe to Hook. Bowens… Killer? Let Hook think about it, and Bowens can think on that. The Opps head out, but will Bowens prove he can do more than just strike people out?

Winners: Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander, by pinfall

The former world champions conquer The Sisters of Sin, and now Rosa is rolling towards- Oh, well, Thekla interrupts! She says, “Hola~! If there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s not one but two dumb b*tches! Thunder, you think you’re ready to get toxic? Alright, Big Stat Daddy, tell her how I made you cry! Tell her I made you bleed! Tell her how I took this from you!” The fans are torn but Kris just seethes. Thekla tells “Perrita” Rosa, she doesn’t just fight to win. She fights to kill! So why not just retire already? And ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the past of the AEW Women’s Division! Because now, it belongs to THEKLA!

The fans boo, but Rosa is raring to go even now! Will Rosa make it reign in the Borderland? Or will Thekla leave Rosa lost in the desert?

Tomohiro Ishii VS Andrade El Idolo!

It was just last night that The Stone Pitbull lost his NJPW Strong Openweight Championship to Boltin Oleg, and that the Real Latino Man fell short of the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. But with Andrade set to face ROH World Champion, Bandido, in Los Angeles, will Andrade get that swagger right back? Or will Ishii be anything but tranquilo tonight?

Of course Callis is back on commentary, and he says to just look at Andrade’s physique. Callis is pretty sure a certain demographic goes up during his matches. The bell rings and the two tie up. Andrade and Ishii go around and around on the ropes, then end up in a corner. The ref counts, Andrade lets off slowly, but the fans chant for “I-SHI-I!” Andrade is a little confused by that, but he and Ishii tie up again. Andrade headlocks, Ishii powers up but can’t power out as Andrade holds tight. Ishii fires body shots, then powers out, only for Andrade to RAM him! Ishii doesn’t budge! Ishii roars, fires a flurry of forearms, then ROCKS Andrade!

Ishii runs, Andrade sets up, but Ishii whips him away to avoid the backdrop. Andrade goes Spider-Man in the ropes to tranquilo! The fans do cheer that, and Ishii runs up. Andrade RAMS Ishii, then goes up, but Ishii ROCKS Andrade! Ishii climbs up to join Andrade, but Andrade fights the superplex! Andrade fires body shots, then HEADBUTTS Ishii!

The fans “WOO~” but Andrade kicks low. Andrade runs but Ishii RUNS him over!

The fans rally and Callis admits, Ishii is a brick wall. Ishii runs, but into a DROPKICK! Ishii tumbles out of the ring while the fans rally up. Andrade takes aim, slingshots, but Ishii avoids the plancha. Andrade lands safe on the apron, goes to jump again, but Ishii YANKS him down! Andrade clutches his face from hitting the apron while the fans fire up for Ishii. Ishii hobbles over but he drags Andrade up and into the ring. Ishii then stalks Andrade to stand him up. Ishii CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS again! The fans “WOO~” again as Ishii whips corner to corner. Andrade BOOTS Ishii back! Andrade gets moving, but Ishii slips around!

Callis claims Ishii’s attacking him, but Andrade SMACKS Ishii off the desk again! The fans are torn but Andrade soaks it all up. Andrade then finds himself another young lady who wants a selfie.

Ishii roars, he reels Andrade in, suplex and- NO, Andrade fights free! Ishii ROCKS Andrade, but the SHADOW ELBOW hits! Cover, TWO!! Ishii survives again and Callis is going nuts! But Andrade sends the DIRECT MESSAGE! Cover, Andrade wins!

Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall

The Stone Pitbull lived up to the name, but Andrade still found a way to break through! Callis celebrates with his amigo, his hermano, his familia, but wait! BANDIDO is here! The Outlaw applauds, and Andrade takes off the pants to reveal his yellow ring gear! These two will face off at Revolution in Los Angeles, but Bandido wants it to be one of respect. He offers a handshake, but Andrade SPITS on that hand. So now the handshake becomes a finger gun. Will Bandido take down the Real Latino Man? Or will Andrade get a win on the Most Wanted?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision here as we build to Revolution, but I can’t be sure what’s going on with all these title stories. MJF of course ranted and complained, but that doesn’t exactly add anything. And then Kevin Knight calling MJF out was fine, and a little surprised El Paso is getting the title match that MJF is clearly going to win. Then after a great match of #Protokada VS Top Flight, JetSpeed calls them out as not just a tag team but also as the individual champions they are and as a trio with a random third to join them. I appreciate them remembering Knight and Bailey each got wins off these champions, but maybe they should’ve cashed these ideas in earlier so that it isn’t just all rushed right before Revolution.

We got a very good promo video from Briscoe, Ciampa and Lethal, but I feel like the Ciampa VS Lethal match should’ve been right after it for better flow. Instead, we got another Death Riders VS Don Callis Family match, though I did appreciate it was an 8 Man Tag this time. Ciampa VS Lethal was a great match, even with The Swirl getting involved to try and screw Ciampa over. Great stuff for Ciampa to overcome that, though, and he should definitely get the TNT Championship shot at Revolution for him and Kyle to run it back. We might even get Ciampa & Briscoe as a team real quick to help Ciampa build momentum and get Briscoe back in the win column.

Very good promo from The IInspiration, great to hear they’ve landed somewhere after leaving TNA, and they’ll clearly have a great feud with The Brawling Birds. The Birds didn’t have the cleanest match with their opponents tonight but that wasn’t the worst. Toni VS Zayda was good, but of course Toni won. This is a small thing, but I feel like Zayda VS Toni could’ve gone before Protokada VS Top Flight. Daniels shaking off Okada attacking him isn’t hard to believe, but it would also make sense if Daniels was down and out after Top Flight’s match. Marina & Yuta going after Toni was interesting, and I’m a little surprised Yuta got his hat snatched so soon. Toni VS Marina in a 1v1 for Revolution would go hard, though, and can definitely send the winner towards a title.

Rosa & Kris VS Sisters of Sin was very good as a tag match, and of course Rosa & Kris won. Very good promo from Thekla to call Rosa and Kris out, and I would think Thekla finds a way to win on Dynamite. It could be because Triangle of Madness interferes, it could be because Kris counters Triangle of Madness but accidentally costs Rosa, or Kris could flipflop right back to Heel and cost Rosa because she doesn’t want anyone else beating Thekla. I really hope it’s not that third idea, let it be one of the others, and then we can either do Thekla VS Rosa again, or even a Triple Threat of Thekla VS Rosa VS Kris for some really wild stuff.

Very good promo from Hook with Bowens, in that Bowens puts himself forward for The Opps and Hook doesn’t automatically accept. It was a logical move from Hook to question Bowens’ killer instinct, but also, where is the Bowens-Caster slow build to Acclaimed 2026? Will Caster weirdly try to join Opps and then they’re pitted against each other or something? Or perhaps Hook has them jump through hoops just to bring up guys from ROH or the indies, which then upsets Bowens & Caster and compels them to be Acclaimed once again.

Very good promo from all the teams in the $200K Fatal 4 Way, but like, can’t we just say that’s a tag title opportunity match? No one who has ever won the kayfabe cash prize has actually kayfabe splurged and shown off their new anything. Though, with this being the return match for Rush y Dralistico, maybe they should win. Then they can even be the kind of Heels that do show off that money. And while putting together Andrade VS Ishii was rather outta nowhere, it was still a great choice because that was a great main event match. Great win for Andrade to have momentum going towards Revolution, and good faceoff from him and Bandido to close out the show. The ROH World title is NOT on the line, which is fine, but it’s pretty clear Andrade is winning then.

My Score: 8.9/10
