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?
Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Scorpio Sky w/ Christopher Daniels!
#JetSetRodeo have put out the challenge for trios to step up and come for the AEW World Trios Championships. They wanted the Don Callis Family, but they’re getting The Closer first! Who proves themselves the highest flyer here in Vegas?

They go in and out of corners, but then Knight traps Scorpio! The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Knight lets off. Knight and Scorpio reset, the two talk a littl emore trash, then they knuckle lock.

Knight and Scorpio reset, but then Scorpio shows off his kip up, and his flexing! The fans cheer and Daniels says it’s running wild. Knight plays the bald card! The fans chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Knight shows off the hair, but Scorpio CHOPS him! And CHOPS again! Knight CHOPS back! Scorpio pushes Knight to the corner, UPPERCUTS, then has him in another corner. Scorpio whips, Knight reverses, but Scorpio goes up. Knight stops Scorpio from going over to throw him onto the top rope! Scorpio lands where the sun don’t shine! Knight then triangle jump DROPKICKS!

Scorpio stops at 4, argues with the ref a bit, but goes back to Knight as Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Knight whips, only for Scorpio to reverse. Knight goes up and over, Scorpio turns around, into Knight’s LEAPING LARIAT!

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?

MJF speaks.
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?
Thekla VS Brittnie Brooks!
The Toxic Spider angered #BigStatDaddy with that ambush earlier, but now Thekla gets to tune up for that Strap Match. Will Thekla make quite the example out of Brooks here first?
The bell rings and Brooks is fired up. Thekla runs up, dodges her, and DECKS Brooks! Thekla then drags Brooks up, DECKS her again, then she hits the Spider Stance! Thekla aims, runs in, TOXIC SPEAR! Cover, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by pinfall
Well, that wasn’t that hard. But Thekla still has some venom left over! She takes her belt and LASHES away on Brooks! The fans boo again, but Thekla treats Brooks like she did Kris earlier tonight! Thekla runs off the ref and gloats that she’ll be champion soon enough. Will nothing stop the Toxic Spider from snaring the Cosmic Killer in her web?
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?

Drake CLAWS at Zach’s bloody forehead while Bill CHOKE SLAMS Ortiz on a hood!! GYV’s team is in control while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Keith runs up on Dez! Dez dodges, that claw hammer sticks into the trunk! Dez HEADBUTTS Keith! Dez pries the hammer free, winds up, but Keith has a ballpeen hammer! Keith CLUBS Dez’s arm with it! Then CRACKS him in the side! Keith opens the limo door, he shoves Dez inside, but what’s all that smoke? Zach CHUCKS a trash can at Keith! Then he shoves Keith in the limo! Zach shrugs, jumps in, and The Rascalz get to hot box Keith! Gibson and Drake meanwhile regroup with Bill. But Eddie CRACKS them all with a kendo stick! Ortiz joins in as he CLUBS Drake! Bill BOOTS Eddie, Ortiz CLUBS Bill!
Bill UPPERCUTS Ortiz, then drags him up to HAMMER away! Bill snarls, and then Keith gets out of the limo! Keith is coughing, but Zach taunts him as a “lightweight.” SUPERKICK!

Winners: Eddie Kingston, Ortiz & The Rascalz, by pinfall
It was brutal, but in the end, the Mad King and his wild knights survived this war. They hobble away together to get the “good good,” but is this really the end of things with GYV?
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?
AEW TNT Championship Triple Threat: Tommaso Ciampa VS Roderick Strong VS Claudio Castagnoli!
The introductions are made, “Silvey” is raised, and we see who is the Face of TNT after this high stakes Collision!
The bell rings and Roddy fires right off on Claudio, unfinished business from their CMLL World Heavyweight Championship match! Ciampa goes after Roddy, Roddy ROCKS him, but Claudio UPPERCUTS Roddy!

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

Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The Scumbag found a new way to survive, denying Knight his ticket to LA. However, that means he still has to face Hangman in a Texas Death Match! But MJF TOSSES the ref, because he aims with the Dynamite Diamond Ring! BUT WAIT! Hangman is here! The Cowboy tells MJF to back down now, but MJF dares Hangman to do something about it!

Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy VS The Dogs!
The Relentless One promised Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors, this doesn’t end with him six feet under, this ends with him putting them down! Freshly Squeezed joined the fight on behalf of Tomohiro Ishii, but will he and Darby put an end to the Mad Man & 100 Proof? Or will they not be as #WarReady as these Dogs?
Well, speaking of being ready, Darby & Cassidy don’t exactly wait for Gabe & Clark to get in the ring! Darby & Cassidy take the fight to them right at the ramp!

March 15th, it will be a dream come true. Andrade tells Bandido that he hears Bandido is one of the best Mexican wrestlers alive! But what he’s seeing… This is just a fan! Does he want to fight? Or does he want a selfie? Maybe they can take one now.
Andrade takes out his phone, but it turns out someone is calling him. See you at Revolution. Andrade walks off to answer the call, but will he learn the hard way to take Bandido seriously?
The Brawling Birds VS The IInspiration!

Hangman Page VS Marty Snow!
The Cowboy is already in a good mood after seeing MJF get kicked in the face. But good mood aside, will Snow not have a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning against him?
The bell rings and both men run up, only for Hangman to BOOT Snow down! Then Hangman goes right to the apron, slingshot and BUCKSHOT! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
Did that just set a record!? Hangman puts his jacket back on and grabs a mic to say, “Hey, look. I’ma make this short, cuz his ass ain’t the one I wanted to beat tonight. MAX! I have put my entire future at stake for the chance to do what your parents should’ve done nearly 30 years ago, and taught you a lesson. For years, you have sneered and you have scoffed at me for having what I think is a basic human conscience. But let me warn you: In Texas Death, I have no conscience! Max, I will rip you, I will tear you, and I will only let you lie when I am finished with you. And Max, you are the world champion, so surely, that doesn’t scare you.
“You’ve already shown that you are itching to punch someone in the head with your diamond ring, so why don’t you slip it back on your pinkie, get your dumbass out here now, and show me what good that will do you at Revolution!” The fans cheer that, but MJF says, “Alright, alright, pipe down, pipe down. It’s bad enough I gotta be in this C Tier town, El Paso. But clearly, clearly you’re not very bright, Hangman! Did you not just see me beat your boy, Kevin Knight’s ass? Huh? You all saw it, right? It’s bad enough I gotta listen to you yap next week at the press conference, don’t make me come down there and whoop your ass, too, Cowboy.”
The fans boo, but Hangman says if he’s not gonna do it, then- OH NO! Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada, and Mark Davis attack Hangman!! The fans boo but MJF gets to smile at Hangman’s pain now. Davis has an ANKLE LOCK on Hangman while Okada & Fletcher stomp away on Hangman! They get Hangman up, CHOKE him on the ropes, then Davis hits the REBOUNDER! The fans boo but Kyle mockingly asks if Hangman liked that. But here comes JetSpeed! Bailey & Knight run the Don Callis Family’s heavy hitters with chairs, but then the Jackal himself appears! Accompanied by Lance Archer, Callis has a mic in hand.
The fans cuss Callis out, but he says, “I have something important to say!” The fans boo, but Callis says he sees Jet Set Rodeo in the ring, and he sees three champions, but he also sees three greedy, entitled Millennial punks! It’s not enough that they have the trios titles, but Hangman wants the world title, Knight wants Okada’s International title, and Speedball, “you little French Canadian puke,” wants after the great Kyle Fletcher and his TNT title. How much is enough? One thing Callis hates is a greedy guy. All he’s heard is about what Jet Set Rodeo wants, but he wants us all to be quiet so he can talk. The fans just boo harder! Callis says be quiet so he can tell you what CALLIS wants!
Callis couldn’t help but hear on Collision last Saturday, what was the term they used? “Any place, any time.” Jet Set Rodeo said they’d defend those titles any place and any time. Well, he has a very important to announcement! See, when he heard that, he got to thinking. He just recently left a conversation with Tony Khan. So any place, any time? The place is EL PASO! The time is TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT! The AEW World Trios Champions WILL defend those titles against Mark Davis, Kyle Fletcher & Kazuchika Okada! And after they beat Jet Set Rodeo, the trios titles will belong to DON BAH GAWD CALLIS!!
The fans boo, but the fight IS official! Knight is already banged up from losing to MJF, can he, Bailey & Hangman possibly survive Dunkzilla, Protostar & Rainmaker?
Sit-down interview with The Young Bucks and FTR.
Renee Paquette is already in the boardroom with Matt & Nick Jackson, Brandon Cutler helping film this, but they’re the only ones on time. How’re they feeling? Nick says he’s a bit beat up, but- Oh, now Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway arrive, #BigStoke still in his wheelchair. Stoke asks Renee to move over for him. Renee obliges though The Bucks take offense. Renee has everyone calm down, they already signed the No Physicality Agreement for this. Dax says he’s fine, it’s on The Bucks. The AEW World Tag Team Champions take their seats, and Dax says it’s wild to think about. The greatest tag teams of the 21st Century: The Briscoes, The Bucks, and FTR.
Now, FTR bested The Briscoes two-outta-three, and FTR are #DemBoys’ greatest rivals, so… Dax’s thought is, when they best The Bucks again at Revolution, FTR goes down as THE greatest tag team of the millennium! Cash points out that FTR are THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, but The Bucks are also THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, so Revolution will finally be chapter closed, book finished, only one will be the best. Nick says yeah, okay, we can go back and forth about accomplishments, but this time is a little different. And do they know why? Because FTR put their hands on the Jackson family!
FTR hit a piledriver on their brother! FTR pushed and shoved their parents! Cash claims self-defense, but Nick knows that’s crap. At Revolution, it won’t be only about winning the titles back, but about revenge for their family! Matt brings up how The Jackson Family was simply ringside when FTR did what they did. Matt’s kids, Nick’s kids, how they felt, it is taking The Bucks everything they have in their souls to not just reach across this desk and beat the living SH*T outta FTR! But it’s okay, it’s okay. They won’t do that now.
No, they’ll do that in Los Angeles at Revolution, in front of their family so they can see The Bucks destroy FTR and leave them in a puddle of piss and blood, when The Bucks take the titles for a record breaking fourth time! Cash says he hopes the family is there, too. Then FTR can teach them another lesson! Things get heated again, Renee has them calm down again, but Cash say The Bucks are clearly not mature enough to handle this rationally. FTR will show themselves out and remove themselves from this troubling situation. Dax says The Bucks are so lucky about the No Physicality Agreement. But uh, Cutler wasn’t part of it.
Dax DECKS Cutler!! The Bucks are angry again, but they check on Cutler. FTR keeps turning up the heat, but will they be the ones burned?
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Hechicero!
The Maniac is still set for his match with The Alpha in Los Angeles, and he already crossed CLØN off the list. Will Moxley do the same to The Alchemist? Or will Hechicero have just the right formula to turn opportunity into a golden ticket?

Brody King is here!
The King of Death doesn’t really worry about his entrance music, he just grabs a mic on his way into the ring. El Paso barks with him before he says, “SWERVE! You know, I could be like you. I could stand on that announce table for half an hour, telling everybody just how dangerous I am. But I don’t need to do that, because I KNOW that I am the most dangerous man in AEW! So why don’t you get your ass out here and I can prove that tonight!” The fans like that idea! But Prince Nana shows up to tell Brody, “I hear you, alright? I hear you loud and clear. But are you sure you wanna do this, my friend? Are you sure you wanna go down that rabbit hole with the man himself? Are you sure about that, Brody?”
Brody says quit talking, Nana, and bring Swerve’s ass out here. Nana laughs and says okay. “Without further interruption, ladies and gentlemen… May I introduce to you the REAL Most Dangerous Man in AEW… SWERVE! STRICKLAND!” Nana laughs an evil laugh while the music begins, but Swerve doesn’t enter from the stage! HE ATTACKS FROM BEHIND! Swerve uses his chain to BEAT BRODY DOWN!

Swerve tells Brody, “You know how you chain a dog up? Just like this! I had to send a message to Kenny Omega. Now I gotta send that same message to you. All of the AEW roster is on notice. It’s one thing talking about being the Most Dangerous Man, it’s another actually doing it! And I’m about that action. So guess what? I will be seeing you in LA at Revolution! For your information, and a little reminder, I humbled a man in LA, too.” But then BANDIDO runs out here!
Swerve gets clear before The Outlaw can get at him! The fans boo Swerve but he just smiles seeing what he did to Brody. Will Swerve do far worse to put Brody down for good?
The Death Riders speak.
Daniel Garcia says that’s what they like every single week! Don Callis Family, are you stupid or are you dumb? When you gonna stop picking fights you cannot win!? Wheeler Yuta has Garcia step aside, and Yuta shows off the bald head. “Get a good look, okay?! Losing my hair was the darkest moment of my career. But the Death Riders are the reason I’m not wallowing in my misery. They’re the reason I’m prepared every day for war! Cuz I know when I walk in that arena, and there are thousands of people screaming hurtful, mean, terrible things at me, trying to kick my ass, I know the people I care about most in the world have my back. Through loss, I have freedom.”
Marina then calls out Toni Storm again. “You better shoot from the hip and make me laugh, for your sake. You p*ssy!” Moxley says they all are, aren’t there? A bunch of punk asses! Don Callis Family, CMLL, was THAT the baddest hombre you got? NJPW, all these advertising agencies that got into pro-wrestling! NOBODY does it like they do! No team is like this team! No one is willing to go as long and as far as them! Takeshita, at Revolution, it’s just you and Moxley. And they’re gonna go as long as it takes. They’re gonna see this through all the way to the end. The Death Riders head out, will they take everyone out along the way?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Thekla VS Thunder Rosa!
Part one of what has now become a DOUBLE main event is about to begin! The Toxic Spider snatched the title from Kris Statlander, but La Mera Mera stepped into this fight to avenge her. Will Rosa take back the title she never truly lost? Or has she already fallen for the trap?

Rosa brought the fight, but she could not bring home the gold! To her credit, Thekla did this all by herself, and the Sisters of Sin are here to celebrate. But then Kris Statlander shows up, making sure they don’t try anything. Security rushes out here to keep this from popping off, but Thekla just CURB STOMPS Rosa again!! The fans boo, and Kris CHUCKS a guard aside! Kris storms into the ring but Thekla’s already in retreat! The Cosmic Killer couldn’t protect Rosa, but will she be the one to avenge her now?
Jack Perry speaks.
“Last week, to cap off Mile High Madness, I pinned Ricochet for the third time. Now, every time the odds have been even, I beat you. But every time that it’s really counted, instead of fighting me man to man, you and The Gates of Agony have found a way to cheat. We both won battles. Pretty soon, it’s gonna be time for you and I to finish the war.”
Ricochet responds.
The One & Only tells Jack to listen: “Ya boi been jet-setting! I am the most fighting champion in AEW, brother! So if it’s a fight that you want, if it’s a war that you want, then a war you got. Because when you are in Demand, you can make demands.” Kaun adds, “And if you don’t meet our demands…” Toa Liona finishes with, “YOU GET PUT DOWN!” AHA~! Then when and where will Ricochet and Jack Perry finally settle the score?
On-stage interview with Tommaso Ciampa.
Renee Paquette introduces the Psycho Killer, and El Paso cheers as he makes his entrance. Ciampa is fired up like his pyro, and Renee says he has been so impressive here in AEW. An instant classic with Mark Briscoe to win the AEW TNT Championship, and then he unfortunately lost that title to Kyle Fletcher. What does Ciampa plan to do to get back on top? Ciampa says let’s address the elephant in the room that is Kyle Fletcher. He took the title, he renamed it from Silvey to Pinkie, and gave her a makeover without Ciampa’s consent. Now Fletcher is hiding behind the Don Callis Family, hiding in tag matches and trios matches.
“Because Kyle Fletcher knows the second we run back Fletcher VS Ciampa, you are looking at your NEW TNT Champion.” The fans cheer that! Ciampa says if he has to play games, he’ll play games. And if that means he has to earn a rematch, he’ll do that. If that means he goes to war with Mark Briscoe one more time, he’ll do that, too. But make no mistake, he didn’t come to AEW for “instant classics.” He came here to be a top guy! The fans cheer that, and Renee brings up the history with Mark Briscoe. They go way back- Wait, FTR interrupts. Ciampa sighs and the fans boo as Cash & Dax make their way out.
Dax stares Ciampa down, then hugs him? Cash hugs him, too? Dax says they’re only here to welcome an old friend to AEW! And earlier, Ciampa said he wants to be a top guy? Well, what better way than to surround yourself with these Top Guys. Dax will extend an olive branch to Ciampa like he’s never done before. Dax would love if Ciampa would join them and take over AEW. The fans boo that idea, but Dax says c’mon, old friend. Ciampa says yeah, “old friend,” just what he was thinking. Because Ciampa hated FTR’s guts ten years ago, and he still hates them today. But no, hey, quiet, Stokely, the grown-ups are talking.
Dax has Ciampa hold on. It doesn’t matter how good of friends they were or were not, you do NOT speak to #BigStoke like that. And if Ciampa has a problem with Stoke, then he has a problem with FTR. Ciampa understands earlier tonight, FTR signed their No Physicality with The Bucks, but uh… Ciampa didn’t. He SMACKS Dax! Cash gets in Ciampa’s face but Dax has him back off! The fans cheer, but FTR cools down. Dax says he is not mad at Ciampa. But see you on Saturday. The AEW World Tag Team Champions already got on the wrong side of the Psycho Killer, but will Dax the Ax cut him down? Or will Ciampa make sure no one will survive this Collision?
Toni Storm has a cameraman follow her.
She busts into the medical trainer’s room and asks “Citrus Boy” what those Dogs did to him. Cassidy says, “A lot. Pretty sure I got put through a table, hit in the face with a shillelagh… Those dudes just wanna fight. And if they want to fight, then Darby and I will fight them. We’ll fight them at Revolution. But that’s not for another couple weeks, so we’re also gonna fight next week. And then we’ll fight all the weeks after that. We’ll fight, we’ll just fight ’em.” Toni says that’s well said, Clementine. But hear this! Where there are War Dogs, there are Death Riders not far behind.
So then there’s no better behind to be behind than her behind “if you’re a nicotine-chewing Nancy who wants her lips twisted, and her face fisted! Got it?!” Cassidy says, “Yeah…?” Now, can’t you tell he’s indisposed? Begone! The camera feed cuts, but will nothing and no one stop the TIMELESS Conglomeration from overcoming everyone in their way?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Since Moxley has been facing Don Callis Family members again and again, Konosuke Takeshita proves he can take on Death Riders, too! The Alpha will battle Claudio Castagnoli this Saturday, will the NEW NJPW World TV Champion earn a golden ticket on the way to Revolution? Plus, after choking out Brody King, Swerve Strickland looks to send a message to Bandido, as well! Swerve takes on Bandido’s brother, Gravity! Will the Most Dangerous Man bring Gravity back down to earth?
And then, FTR’s focus on The Young Bucks might cost them again as The Rascalz have called their shot! They want the AEW World Tag Team Championships this Saturday! Will Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz turn everything upside-down in Tucson? Or will Cash & Dax leave them high ‘n’ dry in the desert?
AEW World Trios Championships: Jet Set Rodeo VS Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis!
While Hangman has been dead set on taking back the AEW World Championship, Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been talking up wanting a lot more gold.

Winners: Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Trios Champions)
MJF smiles and applauds his handywork as he costs Hangman and his friends. But will screwing Hangman over only add to the torture MJF is going to suffer through? And as for The Don Callis Family, will they continue to collect belt after belt until they reign over all of AEW?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, but AEW wouldn’t need to use the overrun every single week if they didn’t try to do EVERYTHING, even unnecessary promos, every single week! The show’s flow was doing so well, until FTR and The Bucks had their meeting in the boardroom. FTR are great in the ring but lately, their promos grind things to a halt. And what did this add other than FTR sucker punching Brandon Cutler? We know The Bucks are upset about FTR going after their family, they said so last time, AND it’s just obvious anyway. FTR confronting Ciampa was at least something fresh, a nice reference to their WWE days, and probably could’ve been the one FTR promo we got.
The promos with Brodido and their separate stories at least established the matches we knew were happening. Andrade being obnoxious to Bandido was good stuff, and Brody calling out Swerve only to get jumped and choked out was also good, especially for the heat. Swerve will of course beat Gravity, but the question is how badly. It’s equal parts a message to Bandido and Brody, so I wonder if we get Brodido VS Swerve & Andrade for a go-home Dynamite or Collision. Either way, I feel like Andrade and Swerve are each going to win their matches; Andrade needs to build momentum if he wants after MJF, and Swerve just started his Heel turn, he also needs to maintain momentum.
MJF VS Knight opening the show was rather surprising, but it makes sense now. It was an awesome match, Knight really establishing himself as a singles competitor, but of course MJF won. Though, Hangman didn’t need his own match, he could’ve just called MJF out when he showed up on stage. MJF could then clap back right there, and DCF could’ve jumped Hangman and JetSpeed right there. Then we still get the trios title main event, which honestly surprised me being an “impromptu match.” It was an awesome match, though they didn’t give as much Aussie Open moves as I’d hoped. But in the end, MJF screwing Hangman over was a fine way to protect the Faces in losing, but makes me think even more now that Hangman has to win at Revolution.
Perhaps part of the Don Callis Family winning the trios titles is so they can be given to the Death Riders. Great match from Moxley VS Hechicero, and of course Moxley won. I don’t think we needed that group promo from the Death Riders, since Marina snuck in her promo on Toni during Moxley’s entrance. But I suppose Yuta still had to speak on how he’s bald now but won’t let that be a source of shame. I could see Yuta, Garcia, and Pac going for the trios titles, but I don’t know if they’d be able to take those off Protokadaussie Open fair and square. Kyle VS Bailey being announced during the trios match was a bit sloppy, too, and I would think Kyle wins that, too.
Darby & Cassidy VS The Dogs was a great tag match, and while Darby & Cassidy won, the big surprise was David Finlay showing up. It wasn’t 100% guaranteed he was going to WWE but I at least thought there was a chance. But to be fair, he gets to be exactly the same Savage King David Finlay he was in NJPW by going to AEW, even joining up with his guys here. Depending on how they play this, a Conglomeration member like Mark Briscoe could join Darby and Cassidy in a Six Man Tag with the Dogs, but I also wonder where Roddy Strong fits into all this. Very good promo from Toni & Cassidy in response, and we have gotta get Toni VS Marina for Revolution.
The IInspiration losing to Brawling Birds in such jobber fashion was rather surprising. They didn’t get one good shot in on Jamie & Alex the entire time, and got stacked with the finisher. If they’re going to be All Elite now, they’re starting at the bottom after building up quite a bit of hype from their stop over in Stardom. Thekla VS Rosa was a great match, especially since they chose to keep everyone else in the back. But as I figured last week, Thekla was going to win this, so at least she did it cleanly. Kris failing to protect Rosa might mean Kris gets her rematch with Thekla at Revolution, but they’d have to put that together right away with this week’s Collision or the go-home Dynamite.
My Score: 9/10

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. The fans boo, Garcia runs up, but Rocky dodges the boot! Rocky kicks, Garcia ducks, then Garcia headlocks.
Rocky powers up and out, Garcia RUNS him over, but things keep moving, Rocky hurdles, but Garcia avoids the dropkick to basement DROPKICK! Garcia drags Rocky up, he tags Pac, and they double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, then Garcia adds a SLIDING FOREARM! Pac hits the STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Pac drags Rocky up, wrenches, but Rocky breaks free to tag Alexander. Pac tags Claudio, and now Swiss Cyborg and Walking Weapon meet again. They circle, feel things out, then Alexander kicks low to throw hands. Alexander headlocks, Claudio powers up, but they go around and around as Claudio tries to power out.
Alexander puts Claudio on ropes, but Claudio turns that around to whip Alexander. Claudio drops down, hurdles, but is caught! Claudio sunset flips, Alexander rolls through, but Claudio goes for legs! Alexander also goes for legs, but Claudio floats to a gut wrench! The fans cheer as Alexander flails, only for Claudio to GUT WRENCH PLEX! Alexander scrambles to ropes, and he tags in the Murderhawk Monster. The fans cheer as Archer talks trash on Claudio. Alexander then gets a cheap shot! Archer DECKS Claudio, puts him in the corner, and he fires hands! Alexander runs corner to corner to ELBOW!
Archer keeps going, he hits another ELBOW! And another ELBOW! Archer lets Claudio fall to his knees, then he tags Rocky. Rocky tags Trent, and RPG Vice double whip corner to corner. But Claudio comes back to DOUBLE LARIAT! Trent bails out, Rocky follows, and Yuta reaches out. Claudio tags Yuta in and the fans boo. The Decoder builds speed, but Alexander trips him! The fans cheer as Alexander goes for the beanie! But Pac BOOTS Alexander down! Trent ROLLINGN ELBOWS Pac down! Trent goes for the beanie! But Garcia SAIDOS Trent away! Rocky runs up but Garcia fires forearms! Rocky kicks, Garcia blocks, then Garcia ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL!
Yuta swings but Rocky slips around, and wants the beanie! Claudio GUT WRENCHES Rocky outta the ring! But Archer CROSSBODIES Claudio down! There’s a brawl going on outside the ring, and Archer guzels Yuta! The fans cheer as Archer grabs for the beanie! Yuta stops that by BITING Archer’s finger! Archer still lifts for the CHOKE- NO, Yuta counters with a DDT! The fans fire up as Yuta builds speed and FLIES out onto everyone anyway! The fans cheer, the Death Riders high five, and Claudio SMACKS Archer off the desk! Moxley makes sure commentary is alright, then Death Riders put Trent in.
Yuta hits a snap suplex on Trent, covers, TWO! Tag to Pac and they mug #JustTrent. Pac SOBATS, KICKS, SOBATS, then runs to DROPKICK Trent down! Trent flounders to a corner but Pac runs in, and he BOOTS Trent! Pac snapmares Trent to go up the corner, but Rocky anchors a foot! Pac BOOTS Rocky away, but Trent YANKS Pac into a SAIDO! The fans boo but Trent tags Rocky. Rocky goes up, Trent hangs Pac out to dry, and Rocky DROPKICKS Pac down! Trent adds a DROPKICK of his own! RPG Vice high-five, then Rocky does his soccer slide celebration while Collision goes picture in picture.
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. Pac endures, keeps his shoulders up, then kicks away at Alexander. Alexander lets go of the foot, but comes back to CLOBBER Pac! Cover, TWO! Alexander drags Pac up, kicks low, then bump shim off buckles. Tag to Archer and he brings Pac around to CHOP in a corner.
Archer looms over Pac, then stands him up to CHOP again! Archer bumps Pac off buckles, tags Alexander back in, and they mug The Bastard some more. Alexander soaks up heat before he drags Pac up, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Rocky and Rocky stomps Pac. Rocky soaks up heat while Collision returns to single picture. Rocky stands on Pac while he pulls on on arm! The ref reprimands but Alexander tags in. Alexander bumps Pac off buckles, then he grinds Pac’s face with a forearm. The ref counts, Alexander RAMS Pac, then Alexander snapmares Pac for a chinlock. Pac endures, the fans rally, and Pac fights up to fire body shots!
Alexander fireman’s carries to ROLLING SENTON! Alexander goes up the corner, jumps, but Pac avoids the knee! Alexander runs up but Pac dodges again, to SNAP GERMAN! Both men are down and the fans fire up! They crawl, but RPG Vice run in and BLAST The Death Riders! The fans boo but RPG Vice double whips Pac. Pac ducks ‘n’ dodges, ENZIGIRI for Trent! Rocky kicks low, runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Pac is down again but the fans rally up again. Pac crawls, as does Alexander, hot tags to Trent and Claudio!

Yuta gives Trent HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Then he runs, but into DOUBLE JUMP KNEES!

Claudio runs in but Archer TOSSES him! Archer then TOSSES Garcia! Yuta is about to lose the beanie again, but Claudio has a chair! The ref stops Claudio, but Marina slips in! She jumps on Archer for a SLEEPER! The fans fire up for that, but then Archer powers up and out! BLACKOUT- NO, Marina fights free to SLEEPER again! Archer THROWS Marina down, but Marina gets up and out of the way for Yuta to DROPKICK Archer!
Archer wobbles, Pac SUPERKICKS him! Garcia is back to ROCK Archer! Claudio UPPERCUTS Archer! They BLAST the Callis Family, then Death Riders huddle up like rugby!

Winners: Death Riders, by pinfall
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?

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 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?

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?

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.

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
