Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are always high off their own egos, but those egos cost them as they tried to rip Zachary Wentz & Dezmond Xavier for their extracurricular activities.

The Top Guys survive Dez & Zach, but they still sent another message to The Young Bucks. FTR copied their moves, but will they still best The Bucks in LA? Or will it be reign number four for Matt & Nick Jackson?

As FTR goes up the ramp, MARK BRISCOE appears! The fans cheer as the Sussex County Chicken is here, planning on joining commentary for what’s next. Briscoe shows respect to his old rivals, and FTR continues on their way out. Will Briscoe have a good time watching The Psycho Killer and Red Death battle it out?

Hook and Shibata commandeer another camera.

The Opps are in Tucson, and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil says they’re recruiting. Just not whoever this rando is, laters. But then Anthony Bowens calls out to Hook. Bowens steps in and says he thought hard on what Hook said last week. Bowens has come to the conclusion that he can be a killer in the ring. All Hook has to do is let him show you. Yeah? Hell yeah! So Bowens wants to show him? Grab the camera from Shibata. W-What does that mean? Hook says trust him, take the camera. Bowens indeed takes the camera and Shibata now walks with Hook. Hook asks another rando if he’s a wrestler. The guy says yeah.

Hook asks if the guy wants to be in Opps. Well, sure! Then quick test, how do you get out of this? REDRUM! The guy cannot escape, and the poor guy is out like a light. Oh, c-cool, can Bowens give the camera back to Shibata now or…? Hook says nah, just keep following them. Is the Pride of Professional Wrestling going to be alright selling out just to get in The Opps?

Tommaso Ciampa VS Daniel Garcia!

The Sicilian Psycho wants after Kyle Fletcher and that TNT Championship, but the same can be said for the Dragonslayer. These former TNT Champions battle it out, who will take one step closer to The Protostar?

Briscoe gets Ciampa to understand it was an accident, that was all Garcia. Briscoe asks for a handshake, and Ciampa slaps it away! The fans boo but Briscoe gets Ciampa is upset, so he’ll let it slide. Briscoe leaves, saying Ciampa just needs to cool down before he makes a mistake. Wait, FTR storms out here now? Dax told Ciampa on Wednesday that they’d see him again, and now is as good a time as any. The fans boo as Dax & Cash step into the ring, but Briscoe slides in! The fans cheer as Briscoe stands with Ciampa!

FTR now argues with Briscoe, this wasn’t his concern. Briscoe disagrees, he doesn’t want FTR thinking they can intimidate someone like that. Briscoe and Ciampa leave together, Ciampa patting Briscoe on the back for the help there. But then Ciampa says, “This is MY moment!” And he THROWS Briscoe into the LED tron! The fans freak out as Ciampa beats Briscoe down! Ciampa then takes off the kneepad and runs up, PSYCHO KNEE!! The fans boo as Ciampa wipes his butt with Briscoe’s bandana! FTR nods and applauds as their “old friend” shows his true self. Ciampa’s shadow knows his story, but is FTR now his future?

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite on Wednesday.

Kris Statlander sat in a stairwell of the Don Haskins Center in El Paso as she said, “I will only speak when I need to, and now I need to. Thekla. I have beaten you once. You have beaten me once. But once is not enough. Revolution. Two out of three falls. Your killing is coming, twice.” The Galaxy’s Greatest is prepared for war, but will she be able to win again, and again?

Thekla is here!

Collision returns as The Toxic Spider heads to the ring, and she’s already saying, “No no no no no no! NO~! No, no no no no no! Kris, not right now, no! I’m sorry, no! Niet! Nine! No! Absolulululutely not!” The fans boo but Thekla continues by saying, “I’m sorry. Did I miss a meeting or something? Since when does the challenger get to say what the match is, huh? Since when do I have to listen to some b*tch from outer space?” The fans boo but Thekla continues to say no, she doesn’t care, she’s not doing Two Out of Three Falls. And if you don’t like it, then kiss her toxic ass! The fans do cheer that, though.

Thekla says actually… Y’know what? “WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?” Thekla asks Kris what makes her thinks she can even beat Thekla twice in one night? What makes Kris think Thekla won’t absolutely ruin Kris’ life all over again? Kris wears sunglasses indoors now, because she can’t look Thekla in the eyes! She wears all leather now, because she wants to be like Thekla! But… But, but, but Kris, you’re right about one thing. Thunder Rrrrosa should’ve just listened to you. Because Thekla sent that perra back in a box to the graveyards of Tijuana! So, Kris, why don’t you take your own advice and quit while you’re still alive?

Because everything Kris is afraid of is EVERYTHING THEKLA IS! The Toxic Spider laughs as she hangs from the corner, but the match is now made! Thekla and Kris will battle in Best Out of 3! Who proves they can truly get the job done?

While FTR will battle The Bucks for the gold at Revolution, these four teams are battling to earn the big bucks tonight! Will it be Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy, Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, Blake Christian & Lee Johnson, or the returning Rush y Dralistico that get to pain the town red with all this green?

Dalton Castle joins commentary to watch his bros, and wants Nigel to understand, there’s nothing wrong with the tan ‘n’ jacked Youngest Men Alive teaming with The Peacock. The teams sort out, and in this form of Fatal 4 Way, only two teams are legal. Vanilla Baby starts against Truth, and he mocks the Outrunner spin while wearing their sunglasses.

Backstage interview with JetSpeed.

Lexy Nair is with Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey, and notes that it was a rough week. Kevin Knight had not just one but two title matches on Wednesday, how is he recovering? Knight says that was one of the hardest nights in his career, because he was within inches of becoming a NEW AEW World Champion. For 13 seconds, MJF was looking up at The Jet. Jet knows there will be other opportunities for him in the future. He just can’t help but feel like he let his team down when he lost the AEW World Trios Championships for them. Speedball says no, they lost as a team. And while they appreciate Hangman’s help, Hangman’s situation with MJF did complicate things.

But it’s all good, because at Revolution, JetSpeed gets to team with lucha libre legend, MISTICO! They will take back those trios titles from the Don Callis Family! Speaking of title matches, Bailey gets his shot at the TNT Championship this Wednesday, is Bailey prepared for that? Bailey says he doesn’t feel prepared, he IS prepared. He knows he has what it takes to hold two titles, and he knows what it takes to beat Kyle Fletcher. He’s done it before, he can do it again! Bailey vows to take the pretty in pink title from The Protostar! But now Swerve & Nana step into the room. Nana suggests Lexy takes a break before someone gets hurt.

Lexy excuses herself, and Swerve asks if Bailey knows what it takes, then why doesn’t Knight? Because every time Knight has his foot on the neck of his opponent, he never applies pressure. Let this be the last piece of advice Swerve ever gives Knight: If Knight wants to walk amongst killers, if he wants to compete with killers, he has to become a killer. Swerve & Nana head out but JetSpeed doesn’t get Swerve’s beef. But will Bailey be bringing “Pinkie” with him to Los Angeles when they and the face of CMLL battle Okada, Fletcher & Davis?

Backstage interview with The Babes of Wrath.

It was earlier today that Renee Paquette was with Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron, noting that they had a chaotic ending to- OH NO, Megan Bayne & Lena Kross attacked! The Megasus and Aussie Amazon beat down the champs, throwing Willow into one road case, then hoisting Harley up high above another! Willow CLUBS Lena and SMACKS Megan to save Harley, but Lena BOOTS Willow down! Megan still SLAMS Harley onto a case! Security finally gets in there to stop that, but the damage was done! Megan clearly wants one last shot at the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships, but will her newest partner be the perfect fit?

Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa w/ Luther VS Megan Bayne & Lena Kross!

The Timeless Love Bombs are no strangers to The Megasus, but now they’ve gotta take on two giants if they want to head for the titles! Will these best friends with benefits forever survive this Collision? Or will #MEGAKROSS cross Toni & Mina off the list?

The teams sort out and Mina starts against Megan. The fans rally up as Mina and Megan circle, tie up, and Megan powers Mina to the ropes. The ref counts, the fans cheer, and Megan lets off slowly. Mina dodges the cheap shot to SMACK Megan! Mina reels Megan in, but Megan suplexes! Mina lands out, shoves Megan, then dodges Megan, only for Megan to RUN her over! The fans boo but Megan soaks that up. Tag to Lena and they stand Mina up, only for Toni to attack! Toni gives the giants a meeting of the minds! The Time Bombs double whip, but the giants reverse and scoop! Then they STEREO FALL AWAY SLAM!

The fans boo but Megan and Lena soak up that heat. Toni tumbles out but Lena drags Mina up. Lena ROCKS Mina, Mina goes to ropes, and Lena stands her up. Lena bumps Mina off buckles, then stomps a mudhole in. Lena whips Mina to ropes, scoops her with one arm, and hits a SPIN-OUT SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Mina survives but Lena drags her up. Lena tags Megan, they mug Mina, and Megan RAMS into Mina again and again. The ref counts, Megan CHOPS Mina, and the fans “WOO~!” Megan waistlocks but Mina fights free with elbows! Mina dodges a boot and hot tags Toni! The fans fire up as Toni SHOTGUNS Megan!

Mark Briscoe speaks.

The Chicken has recovered backstage, and he says,” Tommaso Ciampa, man, I done known you for a long time now. And I got to be honest with you, man, ever since you been here in AEW, something ain’t felt right. Something’s felt off, man. That is until tonight, when you did what you did. You back-jumped me. That’s the Tommaso that I was expecting. That’s the Tommaso that I remember. Y’know, shame on me for not trusting my instincts. Shame on me for letting my guard down. But Tommaso, dammit, shame on you for back-jumping me like a coward. Shame on you for aligning yourself with these two men who I used to have the utmost respect for, FTR.

“But now they just some bastards! People will call FTR, me and my brother, The Briscoe brothers, unapologetically, the baddest tag teams of all time. They would call FTR our greatest rivals! So now, Tommaso, you done aligned yourself with these fellas. How do we make this work out mathematically? That brings to mind some of the other greatest rivals of me and my brother’s. There’s a couple other fellas I just got off to phone with just a minute ago, matter o’ fact. We been talkin’ ’bout it, we decided, why don’t we just do this Wednesday night? Why don’t we just do this on Dynamite? Trios action, baby! Let’s do FTR & Tommaso Ciampa VS… DEM BUCKS!”

The Chicken and the Jacksons have common enemies now, so why not just destroy them all together at once? But will Briscoe & The Bucks stampede all over San Jose? Or will Ciampa & FTR make sure no one will survive?

Six Man Tag: The Dogs VS Cosmo Orion, GMO Kaminari & Jaden Monroe!

David Finlay is not just #AllElite, but he is still leading the pack as he, Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors are ready to rip and tear through everyone in their path. Will The Star Chaser, The Hero Of Heroes, and Money Monroe be nothing more than chew toys for The Dogs?

They don’t get paid by the hour, but they sure got their money’s worth! Will AEW soon belong to The Dogs?

Collision returns as Toni storms back out on stage.

And she is angrily repeating, “Enough! Enough! Enough!” The fans cheer Toni as she calls out Marina! “All you do is talk about competition. So why is it that the only one with the set of ovaries who is willing to fight alone is Jon bloody Moxley?! Marina, we are going to Hollywood land, and this is what I want! Everyone, EVERYONE, banned from ringside! Just you, and me, and nobody to stop us!” The fans cheer that! “And then I want my AEW Women’s World Championship back!” The fans like that, too! Toni says, “Chin up, tits out, and I’ll see and ONLY you (Marina) at Revolution!” The fans are ready, but is The Problem about to be solved?

There’s a NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion!

It was just last night in Arena Mexico that Mercedes Mone battled Persephone, and in an instant classic, it was the Goddess of the Underworld that defeated The CEO! The Money Train is starting to lose its cargo, will Mone be able to keep what little she has left? And as for Persephone, she’s getting a shot at the TBS Championship this Wednesday in San Jose! Will Perse be adding to her collection? Or can Willow make sure she’s the only double champion around here?

Konosuke Takeshita VS Claudio Castagnoli!

It was back in December during the Continental Classic that the then IWGP World Heavyweight Champion battled the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion to a time limit draw! The Alpha may not be a world champion, but he’s the NEW NJPW World (as in the website) Television Champion, meaning he knows how to win in under 15 minutes. With Revolution on the horizon, can Konosuke also prove he can defeat Moxley’s right hand man? Or will the Swiss Cyborg terminate Takeshita before he gets the chance?

The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, and Konosuke clinches, Claudio wrenches to then wrangle Konosuke to the mat. Claudio wants the top wristlock but Konosuke clasps hands. They both fight up, Claudio powers Konosuke to that top wristlock and wrangles Konosuke again.

Konosuke floats to a headlock, Claudio rolls to a cover, ONE! Claudio facelocks and powers Konosuke to a corner, but Konosuke turns that around.

Claudio UPPERCUTS, then whips corner to corner, only for Konosuke to reverse and HELLUVA KICK! Konosuke climbs up to rain down fists! The fans cheer and count, but Claudio HOTSHOTS Konosuke before even getting five! The fans rally but Claudio stomps Konosuke. Claudio stomps and stomps but the fans boo. Claudio stops as the ref counts, and he drags Konosuke up. Claudio headlocks, Konosuke endures, and Konosuke powers up and out.

The fans rally as things speed up, but Claudio catches Konosuke’s hurdle! Konosuke slips free, shoves, then drops down to CALF KICK! The fans fire up again while Claudio bails out. Konosuke goes after Claudio, but Claudio HOTSHOTS the arm! Konosuke clutches the arm while Claudio storms back in. Claudio steps on Konosuke’s arm, to then STOMP it! The fans boo but Claudio headlocks. Konosuke powers up and out and the two RAM shoulders! The fans cheer as they go again and RAM shoulders! Claudio runs to RAM Konosuke, Konosuke rebounds to RAM Claudio, and repeat! They stare down, then Claudio CLAWS Konosuke’s eyes!

The fans boo and the ref reprimands but Claudio runs, to RUN Konosuke over! And he DOUBLE STOMPS the arm! The fans boo but Claudio eggs Konosuke on. Claudio drags Konosuke up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, but into an ELBOW! Claudio comes back, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke goes up to FLYING RANA! Even Moxley is surprised seeing that. Konosuke has Claudio back on the apron, and he dribbles Claudio off buckles! Konosuke stops at five to then go to the other side and dribble Claudio off those buckles! Konosuke gets ten total, then he points at Moxley on commentary. Marina responds with a middle finger.

Konosuke drags Claudio up again, but Claudio SLAMS the bad arm off the buckle! Then he bends the arm against the crossbar! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Marina says to just break the arm! Claudio stops at 4, and he leans against the ropes while Konosuke falls away. Claudio is in control as Collision goes picture in picture.

Claudio storms into the ring and he brings Konosuke up by the bad arm. Konosuke fires shots with the good arm, but Claudio RAMS the bad arm! Claudio stomps Konosuke, brings him out to the apron, then SLAMS the arm on the apron! Konosuke writhes but then Claudio BOOTS him! Konosuke flounders on the apron but Claudio steps back inside the ring. Claudio soaks up heat before he stomps Konosuke again. Claudio stands on Konosuke but the ref counts because they’re in the ropes. Claudio snapmares Konosuke to center, then clamps onto the arm with a top wristlock. Konosuke endures while the fans rally up.

Konosuke fights up, fires body shots, but Claudio THROWS him down! Konosuke endures as Claudio again pushes on the arm. Konosuke fights up, fires forearms, but Claudio shoves him and picks him up for the atomic drop! Then the short arm LARIAT! And an ELBOW DROP on the arm! Cover, TWO, but Claudio clamps right back on with the top wristlock! Konosuke endures all over again while Collision returns to single picture. Konosuke fights up and fires hands! Claudio ROCKS Konosuke back, and ROCKS him again! And UPPERCUTS! Claudio runs, but Konosuke BOOTS him! The fans fire up as Konosuke reels Claudio in.

Both men stand, Claudio ducks ‘n’ dodges, and springboards, but Konosuke ALPHA ELBOWS Claudio outta the sky! The fans fire up while both men are down! Claudio and Konosuke rise as the fans rally! Konosuke ROCKS Claudio again and again, then whips. Claudio reverses, but Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges to TAKESHITA LINE! The fans fire up as Konosuke then clinches and EXPLODERS!

But Konosuke reels him in, BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!

Even Moxley is surprised by all that! The fans are thunderous as Konosuke powers up and waits on Claudio. Claudio rises up, ALPHA ELBOW!! Konosuke then reels Claudio in, but Claudio POP-UP UPPERCUTS!! Claudio falls on the cover, TWO?!?! Konosuke survives what is normally a knockout shot! Moxley and Marina both shout for Claudio to stay on Konosuke. “This is Awesome!” as Claudio goes outside the ring. Claudio takes Justin Roberts’ chair!? The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Claudio TOSSES the chair into the ring! And then he tosses another chair! The ref still warns Claudio, but Claudio just brings his CMLL World Heavyweight title now.

The fans boo as Claudio sneaks in with the belt, but HECHICERO snatches it from Claudio! The fans cheer as Hechi makes sure Claudio doesn’t cheat! And then Konosuke FLIES out onto Claudio! The fans fire up with Konosuke, and he hurries to get Claudio in! Konosuke then takes aim, WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Claudio survives and shocks everyone!

But Claudio sunset flips it, only for Konosuke to roll through! BARE BONES WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Then the RAGING FIRE!!! Cover, KONOSUKE WINS!!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall

Konosuke wins this heated rematch months in the making, and he makes sure Moxley understands what that means! Moxley steps to Konosuke, they both talk some trash, but then Hechi CLOBBERS Moxley! Konosuke stops Hechi from there, saying he doesn’t need it. Hechi asks if Konosuke is sure about that, and then Moxley fires back! Moxley fires forearms on Hechi, on Konosuke, then Claudio joins in! The brawl is 2v2, but then Konosuke sends Moxley into railing! Konosuke stomps a mudhole! Hechi and Claudio brawl on the other end, but refs rush out here! They try to stop this, but there’s no stopping Death Riders VS Don Callis Family!

Fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” and fighting is what happens! Collision has used up all the overrun, they gotta go off the air! But will this fighting go all the way to San Jose?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision here, though still with some clunky things going towards Revolution. Awesome opening match with FTR VS Rascalz, but as I said on Dynamite, Rascalz weren’t winning, the Revolution match was going to stay FTR VS Bucks. Good segue from that to Ciampa VS Garcia with Briscoe on commentary, but the entire set-up for the turn seemed odd in retrospect. Why turn Ciampa so soon? Or did they just want an excuse to do the Six Man Tag for the go-home? The Six Man Tag will still be great, and Ciampa VS Briscoe as a feud will still be great, but it feels like another pacing problem from Tony Khan.

Something else that was clunky tonight was how we got to #MegaKross VS Love Bombs. The promo where Megan & Lena attack Willow & Harley was half-baked. Why could we hear security like just off to the side if they weren’t going to get in there for like a good minute? I get with EVE Wrestling holding Wrestling Queendom right now, Willow & Harley could only stay for a moment before they go right back to the UK. But they could’ve still figured out better framing on this promo. I suppose that’s what “long term booking” would entail, or TK having others helping manage this stuff. Definitely the latter.

As for Megan & Lena VS Love Bombs, that was a very good match for the first time Megan & Lena teamed on TV. I should’ve expected Marina would interfere, and we got a good promo from Toni to follow. Toni VS Marina will be great stuff, and as Toni said herself, this could propel her back to the world title. Or on the flipside, it’ll send Marina after that title. It all depends on how the world title match goes. Kris had a good promo to issue the challenge, and Thekla had a good promo in response, but it seems silly that Thekla first says no, but then convinces herself that she should say yes. Either way, two outta three falls will be a great blowoff.

Swerve putting Gravity away pretty handedly was good, but I expected him to “go too far” at some point and bring out Brodido. We get a good promo from Swerve with JetSpeed, and the news of Mistico & JetSpeed VS Okada, Fletcher & Davis is great. That trios title match will be great, but I can’t be sure the odds of JetSpeed winning that. I wouldn’t mind if The Rascalz went after the trios titles afterward so that Myron Reed gets more in-ring time. As for Swerve’s words to Knight, I wonder if Knight leaves JetSpeed to join this new Embassy that Nana’s towels keep teasing. Knight could benefit from that change, allowing him to go for singles titles.

As I’ve said before, I’m not a fan of the kayfabe prize money matches, because they never add anything into kayfabe afterward. That said, this Fatal 4 Way tag was a great match, a great showing from all the teams, and a great win for Private Party. If any team is going to spend the kayfabe money, it’ll be Private Party so that they can throw a massive party. And that better be their promo for either next week’s Dynamite or even the go-home Collision. And depending on who wins the tag titles for Revolution, I would hope Private Party comes back around to challenge for those titles for Dynasty. Though with Private Party as Faces, feels like FTR will be that team…

The Dogs didn’t just get a great squash match, they annihilated those guys. If Darby & Cassidy are to take on The Dogs, they’re gonna need a third man. With Briscoe busy with Ciampa and Ishii out with a bad neck, either Roddy turns back to being Conglomeration after all, or Hologram is back from injury. I haven’t heard word about the latter, or even Kyle O’Reilly for that matter, so they mighty have no choice but to un-turn Roddy. Or they just keep at 2v2 and the odd Dog out is the cornerman that screws Darby & Cassidy over. But they still haven’t even let Finlay talk yet, so I think we need to hear from The Savage King so AEW-only fans understand why he’s a big deal.

Konosuke VS Claudio was an awesome main event, as we knew it would, because Claudio and Konosuke are on that level where they just don’t have bad matches. I did appreciate Hechi being the one to counter Claudio trying to cheat, that’s clearly a CMLL World Heavyweight Championship match in the making. Great win for Konosuke to have momentum going towards Revolution, and great brawl to close out the show like that. We might even get a tag match for the go-home out of this. Moxley VS Konosuke is still going to be awesome, who knows which way it goes.

My Score: 8.9/10
