The Aerial Assassin’s sharp as ever, cutting down Vanilla Baby in the blink of an eye!

I don’t need a weapon to snap someone’s neck. I can do it with my bare effin’ hands!” The fans cheer, but now the Death Ridders appear! That Maniac Continental Champion leads the way as he and Wheeler Yuta walk out here, ready for their tag match, but Ospreay wants after them! The fans fire up as the brawl is on!

Well speaking of coming back, Ospreay is up and he LEAPS onto Pac from the ramp! The fans fire up as Ospreay takes the fight to Pac, and they brawl their way around to the backstage area! Are these two going to brawl all night? As for Moxley & Yuta, they have to regroup and refocus. Will they be able to win their tag match tonight?

Give a partial assist to the Dragonslayer, but what else is new for this crew? Moxley then talks to Yuta about that whole deal with Ospreay. It seems that whether Ospreay’s dealt with Pac or not, the rest of the Death Riders will find him shortly. Will the Aerial Assassin get the fight he wants one way or another?

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!

With March Madness going on, AEW brings back Slam Dunk Weekend! Collision will be one hour on Saturday, and one hour on Sunday, both after NCAA basketball coverage. Make sure your DVR is set accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!

Gabe Kidd speaks.

“Welcome to the end of Darby Allin. Tonight, Coffin Match, live national television. I’m not waiting to get in the ring, Meet me in the parking lot, you rat!” The Mad Man not only wants to escalate, he wants to devastate! Will nothing stop this Dog from burying Darby? Or will Gabe learn Darby isn’t just Relentless, he’s #WarReady?

AEW shares footage from after Revolution.

After Kenny Omega returned on Sunday to save Brody King from Swerve Strickland, Kenny returned backstage to say, “Swerve! The Most Dangerous Man in AEW. Oh, yeah, you’re a danger to me, sure. Maybe even a danger to Brody, but you’re not really a danger to yourself. And when I hear, ‘danger,’ I think risk. So you wanna get dangerous? Let’s get dangerous! Let’s roll the dice. You really wanna prove how dangerous you are? Let’s play a game of risk. How about you put your #1 contendership on the line? If you’re really the Most Dangerous Man, you’ve got nothing to fear. You against me, one more time, for everything. The winner becomes the #1 contender.

“Hit me back, lemme know how you feel about it. Until then, I must bid you adieu. Goodbye, Swerve, mwah! And goodnight, BANG!” The Cleaner has called out The Realest, what will be the response?

Coffin Match: Darby Allin VS Gabe Kidd!

While the pine box that will be someone’s final destination awaits at ringside, The Mad Man is indeed waiting right outside the arena! “It’s time now! World’s End, done! Revolution, done! I’m here, and there’s only one thing left to do, and that’s end you!” A car honks its horn and drives in, and Gabe knows it’s Darby! Gabe eggs him on, then dodges the car! Darby JUMPS out of the car, but Gabe RAMS him into the side! They throw hands, then Gabe SLAMS Darby off the hood! Gabe then deadlifts and POWERBOMBS Darby on the hood! Gabe CHOKES Darby as he tells him it is time! But then Darby CLAWS Gabe’s face!

Darby gets free, and he grabs his backpack! And from inside, Darby brings out a rag, and a bottle of liquid! Darby soaks the rag, and he SMOTHERS Gabe! Is Darby using chloroform or something?! Gabe flails, but Darby still smothers him! And then puts him in the trunk of the car! Darby slams the lid closed and shouts, “Let’s ride!” Wait, what?! Darby drives backwards, cars honk at him, but he then drives forward to use trash like a ramp to FLIP THE CAR!! The fans are going nuts watching this as Darby drags himself out of the car! Darby then drags himself back to the driver’s seat so he can use the trunk release! Gabe flops out onto the ground!

Darby hobbles his way over, and he finds a road case! Darby drags Gabe up onto the case, and he uses that to wheel Gabe into the arena! Um, is the match still on…? Commentary is rather stunned, as is the crowd. Wait, cameras keep with Darby and Gabe as Darby wheels Gabe out from around the stage! The fans cheer Darby on as the bell rings and this match is finally underway. Darby stops to catch his breath, then he SHOVES Gabe off the road case. Darby opens the case up, and he brings out his skateboard, and a straitjacket! Darby grabs a chair, too, and he rests for a moment before he drags Gabe back over. Darby sits Gabe up to SLAP him around!

Darby figures if Gabe’s a mad man, the mad man should wear the straitjacket! Gabe starts coming to but Darby SLAPS him again! The straitjacket is on, but Darby still has to strap it in. Gabe is waking up again but Darby ROCKS him with a forearm! Darby then grabs his skateboard and winds up! But Gabe LOW BLOWS first! Then he THROWS Darby into steel steps! Both men are down but Gabe crawls his way to the coffin. Gabe does his best to get out of the jacket but it is on tight. Gabe snarls, storms up on Darby, and he BITES Darby’s bloody forehead! Fresno tells Gabe he’s sick, but Gabe already knows that.

Gabe snarls as he tells Darby if he’s trying to play games, he messed up. Gabe loves this! These are good memories! Gabe opens the casket, and it has the words, “PUSHING UP DAISIES” on the underside of the lid! Gabe pushes Darby but Darby grabs the side to resist. So Gabe SLAMS the lid shut on Darby’s fingers! The fans are torn while Darby flounders away, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Gabe snarls as he then grabs Darby’s skateboard and rolls it into the ring. Gabe stumbles as he goes to grab the board again. Gabe takes a swing, but Darby dodges the skateboard strike! Gabe swings again, btu Darby trips him up! Darby has the legs, steps through, but Gabe SMASHES Darby with the skateboard! Darby falls in a heap, and Gabe stands up to tear at the straitjacket. Still no go, so Gabe just LASHES Darby with the loose straps! Gabe then scoops Darby to SLAM him on the skateboard! Darby writhes, Gabe slumps in the corner, but both men crawl around. Gabe stalks Darby to the ropes, then grabs the legs, but Darby clings to the ropes.

Gabe stomps Darby down, then looms over him. Darby sits up but Gabe reels him in. Gabe puts Darby in a corner, BITES the bloody forehead again, then hoists Darby up top. Gabe climbs up after Darby, barks like the Dog he is, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Darby fights the lift, then he BIETS Gabe’s forehead in return! The fans fire up while Darby CLUBS away on Gabe! Darby hops up for a SUPER CODE RED!! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds! Fresno duel, “We Want Tables!” “No, We Don’t!” Darby straps Gabe’s arms in, then dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! The fans cheer while Darby grins and laughs!

Darby hobbles to the corner, climbs to the top, but Gabe KICKS the ref into the ropes! That trips Darby up! The fans boo, but now Gabe stands to somehow manage to scoop with no hands! RUNNING POWERSLAM! The fans boo but Gabe then ENZIGIRIS Darby to the apron! Gabe runs and he BODY CHECKS Darby into the side of the casket! Darby flounders but Gabe snarls and sputters as he goes fights the straitjacket. Gabe says Darby wants to drag up his past, he can win at that game! Gabe uses his body to push the lid shut, but Darby stands! And he BITES Gabe’s nose!! The fans tell Darby he’s sick now, but Darby surely knows that, too.

Darby goes after Gabe as he goes back into the ring. Darby finds his skateboard, and he has another wild look in his eyes. Darby runs up, and LOW BLOWS with the board! Then he SMACKS away on Gabe’s back! And HEADSHOT! Darby hurries up top to COFFION DROP! Gabe sputters and coughs but Darby just goes back up! COFFIN DROP!! The fans want that “One More Time!” but Darby drags Gabe to the apron. Gabe flails, he BOOTS Darby in the face, then stands on the apron. But Darby TRIPS Gabe up! Gabe tumbles, Darby builds speed, and Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Gabe and Gabe falls into the coffin! The lid shuts, Darby wins!!

Winner: Darby Allin

Darby shuts Gabe down with vicious force, and crawls back into the ring to get a mic. Darby sits up so he can say, “I’m gonna hold that throttle until I see God or the AEW World Championship. Maxwell Jacob Friedman! I’m coming.” The fans cheer as Darby throws his proverbial hat into the ring! Kenny, Swerve, Darby, who else will be lining up to chase The Devil of AEW?

The Jurassic Express loads up.

Luchasaurus is in the driver’s seat, waiting on “Jungle” Jack Perry. Jack makes sure he has his leather boots, his knife in its leather sheath, his snake in ajar, and of course, the AEW National Championship. Luchasaurus honks the horn, it’s time to go! Jack hurries out, making sure he feeds the squirrels, then hops onto the bus. And from LA, they drive up through Bakersfield, make a pit stop, and then arrive in Fresno! Jack hops back out and says, “The Jurassic Express has arrived in Fresno. Now, Revolution was a pretty good night for me and my family. And tonight, I’m teaming with two guys who are like brothers to me.”

The Young Bucks step in, and Matt says, “Speaking of family… Last night at Revolution was a rough one for ours. But what kind of examples would we be to our children if we didn’t pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start fighting all the way to the top again?” Nick says that starts tonight on Dynamite as they face Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, and someone that they used to think of as family in Kazuchika Okada! Luchasaurus shouts, “B*TCH!” Will the #JurassicElite destroy the Don Callis Family and start this new chapter in their journeys? Or will #RainmakerVice make it rain in Fresno?

Prince Nana is in the ring.

Dynamite returns as Swerve Strickland’s messenger has the mic. “At this time, I want each and every one of you people in this arena to get up and stand up for someone who is very, very important in AEW! Hey, did you all see what happened at Revolution this past weekend? Did you guys see the annihilation and the reason why we call him The Most Dangerous Man in AEW?” The fans boo, but Nana says, “Without further delay, the boss himself, Mr. Dangerous, Swerve Strickland!” The fans boo again, but Swerve makes his entrance. Swerve takes the mic, then takes a seat, the spotlight all on him.

“Power. This past Sunday at Revolution, me and Brody King went to war. But the only true winners of war are the ones with power. Now, if you ask me, did I enjoy beating the hell out of that man in front of his home state of California? Of course! But was I satisfied? No. Because the power in AEW still lies elsewhere. And sometimes, power is more important than championships. Now, I’ve dealt with organizations with power all my life, all the way back to when I was 17 years old in the military. Up to when I was traveling the world on the independents. Up to when I was stuck in ‘developmental.’

“Truth be told, if it wasn’t for the Young Bucks interfering in my title match back at Dynasty last year, I’d be a two-time AEW World Champion by now. Which honestly brings me to Kenny Omega. Which is very fascinating what you said about me earlier. Unbeknownst to me, I’m the NEW #1 contender to the AEW World Championship! But what does the #1 contendership mean if I don’t have the power to protect it? Kenny…” The fans booing makes Swerve smirk, but Swerve says Kenny wants to offer up everything on the table, but he doesn’t have the leverage in this! It makes no sense for Swerve to beat Kenny twice and get nothing for it!

However, there is one thing Kenny has that does interest Swerve: Kenny’s power. Swerve tells Kenny that Swerve doesn’t want Kenny removed from power, he wants that power. Swerve wants to block out anybody else that thinks they can get it. So if Kenny wants this rematch with Swerve, he needs to offer up his EVP status! And to make it very clear, when Swerve beats Kenny, SWERVE BECOMES AEW’S NEW EVP!! The fans are stunned by that idea! Swerve has raised the ante, will Kenny be willing to match it?

Backstage interview with “Speedball” Mike Bailey.

Renee Paquette is with the now TWO-TIME AEW World Trios Champion as she says Revolution was a truly star-making night for him, Kevin Knight, and even Mistico. Tell us about bouncing back to get the trios titles back. Bailey says some people, you can just look at and know they’re a star, like Kevin Knight and Mistico. But not Bailey. Bailey has had to fight and scratch and prove himself again and again, and even learn how to believe in himself. Bailey went all over the world for nearly 20 YEARS to get everyone else to believe in him. IT is that kind of mental toughness and tenacity, those are who Bailey looks up top.

Like Kenny Omega! Kenny started from the ground up and had to work to become All Elite, and become one of the biggest stars in the world, and even become World Trios Champion like Bailey is now. Kenny worked hard to become AEW World Champion, just like Bailey believes he will be. That mental toughness not only makes you a star, but a winner. Bailey has the gold and the confidence, but will he prove he can keep them both? Or is Dunkzilla about to make him Count to Pain?

The bell rings and Davis runs up! Bailey dodges, then dodges again! Bailey waistlocks but Davis THROWS him away! Bailey comes back, ducks big shots and waistlocks again.

Bailey keeps moving, but Davis CLOBBERS him! The fans boo but Davis scoops to SLAM, then SENTON!

Bailey sputters, Davis kneels for a cocky cover, TWO! Bailey is tougher than that, but Davis looms over him. Davis drags Bailey up, then CHOPS him back down! The fans boo but Davis paces around Bailey. Davis drags Bailey up again, and he suplexes, but Bailey KNEES free! Bailey then BOOTS from the corner, goes up the corner, and he MISSILE DROPKICKS! Davis stumbles away while the fans fire up again. Bailey rises, spins, and SOBATS! Then AX KICKS! Then KICKS Davis down! Bailey aims from the corner, STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, ONE!! Davis shocks Bailey then rolls to the apron.

The fans rally as Bailey runs up, and he BOOTS Davis again! Davis stays up, but Bailey grits his teeth and BOOTS again! Davis just gets fired up! He blocks a boot, but not the LEG SWEEP! Davis falls, Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! The fans fire up for Bailey while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Bailey refreshes the ring count before he CHOPS Davis! Bailey then stands Davis up and KICKS him against the railing! Davis staggers away but Bailey follows.

Davis CHOPS Bailey down, then goes out to the apron. Davis drags Bailey up, CHOPS him again, then reels him in. Davis hits an APRON FALCON ARROW! Bailey falls to the floor then writhes, but Davis just huffs ‘n’ puffs his way back into the ring. The ref checks Bailey, but he’s somehow able to continue.

Davis soaks up the heat from Fresno while he sits on the top rope. The ring count starts, Bailey drags himself up, and the fans rally as Bailey rolls in before 10! Davis storms over to Bailey while Dynamite returns to single picture, for a deadlift BACK SUPLEX! Bailey writhes again but Davis soaks up more heat. Davis gut wrenches Bailey up but Bailey fights to the apron! Davis DECKS Bailey, then drags Bailey back up! But Bailey fights the superplex! Bailey then slips down and GAMANGIRIS! And GAMANGIRIS again! And GAMANGIRIS again! Davis wobbles but Bailey gets underneath him! LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!

Davis is down but Bailey goes up! SHOOTING STAR PRESS! Cover, TWO! Davis survives but the fans fire up for Bailey! Bailey winds up, spins, but Davis CLOBBERS him first!! Both men are down but the fans fire up! Davis drags Bailey up to SLAP, but Bailey SLAPS back! They SLAP, SLAP, SLAP, and the fans fire up! Davis SLAPS away then runs the ropes, REBOUN- NO, HEEL KICK!! Both men are down again and the fans cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” A standing count begins while both men stir. Davis and Bailey sit up slowly, and Davis is up at 5 of 10! Bailey is up at 7, and he winds up to CHOP! Davis just snarls so Bailey CHOPS again!

Davis eggs Bailey on so Bailey CHOPS again! Davis DECKS Bailey with a right hand! The fans boo but Davis deadlift gut wrenches! Bailey clamps onto Davis’ leg, so Davis fires KNEE after KNEE into him!

It was after the brutal victory over Hangman Adam Page that The Scumbag, bloodied and battered, returned backstage. “Greatest Dog Collar match of all time, greatest Ironman match of all time, greatest Texas Deathmatch of all time. Greatest AEW World Champion of all time. They call me Mr. Revolution. Y’know, they say adrenaline isa hell of a drug. It’ll stop you from feeling pain. Well, folks, the adrenaline’s worn off just a tad. I feel everything. Every bump, every bruise, every ounce of blood pouring out of my body. But none of that matters. Because I won. It was all worth it, because I am still the holder of the grandest prize of them all, The Triple B, the only world championship in the sport today that matters! The AEW, MWAH, world title!

“Today, I turned 30. Happy Birthday to me! What a way to celebrate. At only 30 years of age, I’ve accomplished more than most Hall of Famers. My goal is to go down as the greatest of all time. And I’m way ahead of schedule. Only a handful of men are in my way of achieving that status, and the biggest one of all was you, Hangman! But guess what? Your ass is off the board, chief! And I’ve still got 20 more years to go. For the next 20 years of my career, Hangman Adam Page, you will be right where you belong: The midcard. For the next 20 years, Maxwell Jacob Friedman will have a one-way ticket to GOAT status!

“For the next 20 years, only one name will be regarded as the Best in the World! The Wolf of Wrestling, the Salt of the Earth, the Generational Talent, the Devil, BIG HEBREW, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M! J! F!! Now, if you don’t mind, I’m gonna do what the greatest athletes have done after a big win since the dawn of time. Hey, camera boy, go ahead, ask me.” The cameraman does ask, MJF has just defeated Hangman Adam Page, he successfully held onto the championship, so what’s he gonna now? MJF sits up to say, “I’m going to Disneyworld! MWAH!!” MJF kisses the camera and heads out, will no one ever bring him down now?

Kazuchika Okada & Roppongi Vice speak.

The Rainmaker tells The Young Bucks and Jack Perry, “I heard you had to say. You think I used to be your family? HAHAHAHA! You are so stupid!” Trent adds that the bus isn’t cool, either. Okada says he is only loyal to one family, unlike Takeshita! Who is shaking hands with Jon Moxley! Meanwhile, tonight, The Rainmaker and Roppongi Vice pick up a main event victory for the Don Callis Family. Rocky adds that tonight is for La Callis Familia. And more importantly, for their fearless leader, Don Callis! Viva Don Callis! They love you, Don! Is #RainmakerVice about to bring some chaos to Dynamite?

No Holds Barred: Mina Shirakawa VS Marina Shafir!

This was going to be Toni Storm and Marina Shafir having it out again after their hard-hitting match on Sunday, but someone attacked her in her dressing room! The TIMELESS One is not medically cleared, so the Fighting Gravure Idol will step up and defend the honor of her Best Friend With Benefits Forever! Will it be up to #MinaNow to solve The Problem? Or will Marina have destroyed both Timeless Love Bombs in one week?

While Marina will neither confirm nor deny she did Toni in, Mina still takes precautions, in the form of a barbed-wire bat! The bell rings and Mina swings! Marina avoids the bat, but then Mina gets her in the leg! Mina swings again but Marina blocks to fire body shots! Marina disarms Mina to then scoop and SLAM her! Marina says she doesn’t need a bat, but she’ll still use it! But then Mina DROPKICKS the legs out! The bat goes tumbling away but Mina SLIDING KNEE STRIKES Marina! Mina SLAPS Marina around, then KICKS her again and again! The fans fire up as Mina KICKS away on Marina’s back!

Mina runs and basement DROPKICKS Marina down! The fans cheer while Mina goes out and looks under the ring. Mina finds a bucket of champagne! Mina says hold on, that’s not enough. She finds a third bottle, brings it into the ring, and the fans cheer as Mina says let’s toast! But Marina BOOTS Mina first! Then she URENAGES Mina down! Marina rains down forearms on Mina, then scuffs her. Marina drags Mina up to SAYANAGI! And SAYANAGI! Marina even counts in Japanese for Mina, SAYANAGI sanbanme! Marina flips off Fresno while they boo, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Marina sits Mina up to KICK her in the back! And KICKS her again! Mina writhes but Marina rains down forearms. Marina then goes outside, fetches a chair, and brings it into the ring. Marina stalks Mina, looms over her, and deadlifts her, only for Mina to fire elbows! Marina STO’s Mina down! Marina brings the chair around, then scoops Mina to SLAM her on the chair! Mina writhes but Marina drags her back up. Mina CHOPS and CHOPS, but Marina CHPOS in return! Marina scoops to SLAM Mina on the chair! Mina writhes again, but now Marina takes that bottle of champagne. Marina pops the cork, takes a swig, then stands Mina up.

Marina whips Mina to the corner, then storms up to KICK! Marina fires fast hands, then another KICK! Marina drags Mina up, CHOPS her again, then goes back to the bottle. Another swig, and Marina enjoys herself now. Dynamite returns to single picture as Marina SPITS the champagne into Mina! Mina SMACKS her back! Marina takes a swing, Mina dodges, and she DROPKICKS Marina down! The champagne bottle falls and splashes the camera! Mina fires off on Marina with forearms, then ROCKS her! The fans fire up as Mina now gets the chair! Mina swings, but Marina kicks low! Marina then whips Mina to the ropes, but Mina tilt-o-whirls to LA MYSTICA on the chair!

The fans fire up with Mina as she goes up the corner! Mina aims, and MISSILE DROPKICKS Marina down! Mina then gets the chair to SMACK Marina! The fans cheer as Mina sets the chair in a drop zone. Mina stands Marina up and climbs the corner, FLYING SLINGBLADE onto the chair! Cover, TWO!! Marina survives but Mina just SMACKS her again! And again! Mina has the legs, steps through, but Marina BOOTS her away! Marina runs up but Mina BOOTS her down! The fans rally as Mina aims from the apron, TORNILLO SPLASH! But Marina rolls through!? Clinch and MOTHER’S MILK!!

Mina has the ropes but that doesn’t stop the hold! So Mina CLAWS Marina’s facer! Marina lets Mina go, but Marina gets running! Marina BOOTS Mina in the ropes! Mina flops to the apron but Marina pursues. The fans boo as Marina CHOPS Mina, then goes looking under the ring. Marina brings out a TABLE! The fans cheer that! Marina sets the table up at ringside, but she has to hobble her way back up to the apron. Marina slaps herself to get fired up, but Mina fires a forearm! Marina fires back! The shots go back and forth, and Marina says do better! She CHOPS! Mina fires up, but Marina BOOTS her! Then BIG BACK SUPLEX down through the table!!

The fans go nuts while both women are down in the wreckage! Marina hit more of the table while Mina just fell to the floor! Marina still gets Mina in the ring, cocky covers, TWO!!! Mina survives and the fans are thunderous! Marina is beside herself, but she storms up on Mina. Marina fires hands and SLAPS, then shoves her down. The ref wants Marina to back off, but Marina gets in his face! It’s No Holds Barred, Posey, let her do her job! But wait, Mina grabs one of the champagne bottles from the bucket! Mina winds up and SMASH!! Right on Marina’s face! Then URAKEN!! Then this is for Toni! STORM ZERO!!! Cover, MINA WINS!!

Winner: Mina Shirakawa, by pinfall

Mina shouts in victory that she just beat Marina down for Toni! Both Love Bombs have wins on Marina now, but if Marina didn’t attack Toni, who did?

Backstage interview with Andrade El Idolo.

Renee is with The Real Latino Man and brings up his great victory at Revolution over Bandido. Andrade has been so impressive lately, so what is next for him? Andrade says there is one thing he wants, and that is the AEW World Championship. But then in steps Jon Cruz. He says hello to Renee, and then apologizes for this interruption as he has a delivery for Andrade. A big briefcase? What is it? It’s from MJF. Oh, so is he just handing over the title? No, no, no, hold on. Oh, wait, Don Callis is also calling in. Yay… Callis is on FaceTime and he tells Andrade to do him a solid right now. Please accept that solid sum of cash on behalf of the Callis Family, because Andrade is the money maker.

Andrade asks if Callis is actually working with MJF on this. N-No, what they’re doing is business! Callis understands the conflict of interest, Andrade wants the world title, but Darby Allin is becoming a pest. MJF and Callis have agreed that they will take care of Darby for him in exchange for a LOT of money. Trust Callis, Andrade, you’re on the best run of your career! And plus, “Papi,” you’re the money man! Well, okay, if Callis says so. Jon Cruz thanks Callis, Callis says gracias, and the briefcase is handed over. Cruz heads out, and Andrade isn’t sure how to feel. Is the family really selling out just to keep that Scumbag safe?

“Jungle” Jack Perry & The Young Bucks VS Kazuchika Okada & Roppongi Vice!

While we have a NEW AEW National Champion, we do not have NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions. You win some, you lose some, but either way, you just keep fighting! Will the #JurassicElite keep things going so that they can all be golden again? Or will the AEW International Champion show he never betrayed his “brothers,” he just rejoined his real ones?

The trios sort out and Jack steps to Okada. The fans rally up as the two stare down, step up, but Okada slips past Jack so he can flip off The Bucks! T he fans boo but Jack CLUBS away on Okada! Okada CLAWS Jack’s face! The ref reprimands but Okada flips Jack off, too. Okada whips, Jack ducks ‘n’ dodges, then RANAS! Okada tumbles, Jack DROPKICKS him down, and Jack kips up. The fans cheer, but RPG Vice CLOBBERS Jack and BLASTS The Bucks! Trent & Rocky double wrench, DOUBLE BODY BLOW, then run, only for The Bucks to trip them up! The fans cheer as The Bucks get in, and now The Elite surrounds Okada!

Okada pleads with them, wanting mercy, and he tries to get the chant going! “The! Elite! The, The Elite!” Nope, Nick ROCKS Okada! Matt ROCKS Okada! Jack CHOPS Okada! Nick runs and Matt gives him the boost to RANA! The fans fire up while Okada tumbles out. Rocky returns, but gets the GUTBUSTER to NECKBREAKER BACKBREAKER COMBO! Then Trent runs up, but Nick slips around. Trent BOOTS Matt, Matt rebounds, but Trent and Nick duck. Trent switches with Nick but Matt comes back, only for Trent to ELBOW Matt away. Nick runs up, waistlocks Trent again, and Matt rebounds for the SUNSET FLIP GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO!

The fans fire up for The Bucks while Trent bails out. Matt builds speed to WRECK Rocky, then he holds the ropes down for Nick to FLY! Down goes Rainmaker Vice, and now Jack goes up! The fans fire up as Jack ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Rainmaker Vice is down again while the fans fire up for “The! Elite! The, The Elite!” Jack drags Okada into the ring, whips him corner to corner, then runs up to LARIAT! Snapmare and time for a sacrifice! But Rocky anchors Jack’s foot! Okada BOOTS Jac k, Trent BLASTS The Bucks, and now Rainmaker Vice mugs Jack! The fans boo but they put Jack on the ropes, Rocky STOMPS Jack down, and Trent SLIDING KNEES!

Okada runs to rolling jackknife Jack into the Alabama Lift! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Rainmaker Vice soaks up all the heat from Fresno while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref reprimands Rainmaker Vice, and they back off so that it is just Okada and Jack. Okada stands Jack up to SMACK him off Trent’s boot! Tag to Rocky, he brings Jack around, and he SMACKS Jack off Trent’s and Okada’s boots! Tag to Trent now, and he winds up, only for Jack to send Trent into the boots! Jack crawls but Rocky rushes in and CLOBBERS him! Rocky drags Jack back while the ref reprimands, and Rocky stomps a mudhole in! Trent adds on while the ref has to keep angry Bucks back. Trent tags Rocky, Rocky looks to the camera, and Rocky does his Rinaldo slide! Rocky then goes back to Jack, but Jack fires body shots!

Rocky SMACKS Jack down, then tags Okada. Okada drags Jack up, but Jack CHOSP! Jack fires hands on Trent, on Rocky, and on Okada, but Okada kicks him low! Okada CLUBS Jack, but Jack shoves Okada! Jack shoves Okada again, fires forearms, but Okada just eggs Jack on. Jack fires more shots, but Okada KNEES him low! Okada drags Jack up to DDT! Cover, but Matt breaks it! Okada frowns but The Bucks just coach Jack up. Okada drags Jack up, but Jack fires body shots! Jack JAWBREAKERS Okada, and the fans fire up as Dynamite returns to single picture! Only for Okada to CLUB Jack back down!

Okada has Jack in a corner, whips him corner to corner, then runs in and misses the back elbow as Jack jumps! Jack CHOPS Okada, CHOPS again, then CHOPS again! Okada ducks a lariat, shoves Jack, but the COMEBACKER connects! The fans fire up while both men are down! Jack crawls, as does Okada, hot tags to Nick and Rocky! Nick rallies on Rocky, and on Trent, but Trent kicks low! RPG Vice whips Nick, but Nick handsprings through the double hip toss! Nick gives RPG Vice a meeting of the minds, then knuckle locks Rocky.

The Polar Express gets going, but Trent joins in! So Matt hits a DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS! The fans are thunderous again while Matt tags Nick. The Bucks go up the corners while RPG Vice is down! MACHO ELBOW for Trent, SWANTON BOMB for Rocky! The fans are still hot, because it’s time for the “SUPERKICK PARTY~!” But Trent blocks the kick to send it at Matt! Nick ELBOWS Trent, SOBATS Rocky, then spins, only for Rocky to duck the kick!

Rocky UPPERCUTS Nick, then jumps Nick’s leg sweep to JUMP KNEE him! Rocky sends Nick to Trent, but Nick reverses that, so Trent’s SUPERKICK hits Rocky! The fans fire up, and now Matt’s SUPERKICK hits Trent! The Bucks run, but into DOUBLE JUMP KNEES! The fans boo but RPG Vice TOSS The Bucks!

Rocky crawls, he gets the ROPEBREAK, and that frees the whole team! Jack drags Okada out while Matt TOSSES Trent, and The Bucks regroup. Nick tags Matt, then Matt scoops Rocky. Nick goes outside but Trent anchors his foot! Nick stomps Trent’s hand, then he SUPERKICKS! Jack gets in and DIVES onto Trent! Nick springboards but Rocky sends Matt at him! Rocky cravats Matt, goes up the corner, but Matt stops the Sliced Bread from being served! Matt has Rocky in position again, but Okada slides in! Nick springboards into that DROPKICK! Rocky then CLAWS Matt’s eyes! Jack is back but Rocky feeds him to Okada’s BOOT!

GLASS JAW BREAKER!!! Cover, Elite wins!!

Winners: “Jungle” Jack Perry & The Young Bucks, by pinfall

A huge win in Fresno helps The Bucks get back up! Jack lets his guys have the ring, and Nick says, “Tonight’s a little bit bittersweet. We just had a great tag match with Jack, but uh… Sunday, we blew it. We were so sure of ourselves. We thought we were going to win those tag team titles at Revolution. So much so, that we had our entire family front row watching us. We had our kids wear special entrance gear, just for them to watch us lose… We’re adults, we’re grown men, we’re here to admit, FTR, you were the better team on Sunday.” Matt takes the mic to say, “We went to my birthday party later that night, and I couldn’t look anybody in the eye, I was so embarrassed.”

That was, until their dad, and they know he’s watching, their dad took them both aside and said, “Look at me in my eye. Keep your head up. Remember who you are! You’re the Young Bucks! You’re the best tag team on the planet!” The fans cheer that! Papa Jackson said there are arenas full of fans that still believe in The Bucks! There are arenas filled with fans who still love The Bucks! Then he told them he was proud of them. Their dad isn’t wrong about this one! They know exactly who the Hell they are! The fans cheer that!

Matt adds, “And if it means having to scratch and claw and work our way back up to the top, I swear to God there isn’t a person, there isn’t a team in the back, who’s going to stop us from getting back OUR AEW Tag Team titles for a FOURTH time!” But then, “You think you know him.” Fresno fires up as Dynamite just got Rated R! Adam Copeland steps out on stage while fans sing along with Metalingus, but he isn’t alone! Christian Cage is here, too! The fans cheer as C&C go to the ring, and step inside to be face-to-face with The Bucks. Cope says we never thought we’d see this. But listen, this might sound cliche, but C&C do respect the hell out of The Bucks.

That match at Revolution against FTR was one of the best matches Cope’s ever laid eyes on. Do not hang your heads in embarrassment, you’re both too good for that. That being said… Cope can also relate. FTR didn’t just attack The Bucks’ family, they attacked Cope’s wife, Beth. Yeah, now Beth Copeland is a badass. They call her the Glamazon for a reason, she doesn’t need Cope to protect her. But over the last six months while they waited to see if she needed spinal fusion surgery, Cope hasn’t been able to look her in the eye. But now that she’s out of the woods, Cope realized he needed to get his ass back into AEW and rectify the situation!

The fans cheer, and Cope says the way to rectify things with two egomaniacs like FTR isn’t about breaking their legs, necks, or faces. No, it’s about taking what is most important to them, even more important to them than their own families. And that is taking the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The fans cheer that! Cope says that while he and Christian respect them, that is why they’re out here. They wanted The Bucks to hear it from them first: At Dynasty in Vancouver, it will be FTR VS C&C, Round 2, and for THE AEW World Tag Team Championships! The fans are bit torn about that, and The Bucks sigh as they look up at the graphic on the tron.

Christian takes the mic now and says he understands this situation is deeply personal for The Bucks and for Cope. But they need to understand, it has become personal for him, too. Winning those titles means… Christian will make a ton of money! But also, it means C&C gets the chance to prove that not only are they the tag team of their generation, but that they’re the best tag team of this generation! Wait! Here comes FTR! The fans definitely boo as Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler, and Stokely Hathaway hobble out onto the stage. And #BigStoke has the mic to say, “Well, Sunday-” SHUT UP, STOKE! Stoke sighs and drops his mic, then tells FTR to go get ’em!

Cash & Dax storm down to the ring, even though it is 4v2, and The Bucks SUPERKICK Cash! Cope SPEARS Dax! Christian waits on Cash to get back up, so he can LOW BLOW him back down! FTR backs off, clearly regretting that move. But then The Bucks and C&C pick up the tag belts. There’s a double tug-o-war going on, but the fans want it to be a fight! The Bucks let the belts go since they’re not in line for them anyway. Cage & Cope stare FTR down, will nothing stop these living legends from establishing their Dynasty? Or will the Top Guys keep C&C away from their revenge?

My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite to follow Revolution, though I (once again) have to question Tony Khan’s version of long term booking. Revolution got the Tornado Trios of The Dogs VS Darby & Conglomeration, yet Dynamite gets a Coffin Match. And the PPV got a Ringside Ban of Toni VS Marina, but Dynamite was going to get No Holds Barred? Though, there is the unfortunate change where Toni, shoot injured during Revolution, is kayfabe injured off camera. Mina VS Marina was still a great match, and I was a bit surprised Mina won over Marina instead of Marina rebounding. Maybe they’ve pivoted given the whodunnit nature.

Back to Darby and Gabe, we did get a very good video to hype up this match, and that parking lot segment was awesome stuff. Again, should’ve been on PPV instead of a Dynamite in Fresno. At the same time, maybe they wouldn’t have been able to pull off that car stunt like they did tonight, because that was wild! Darby bringing out the straitjacket was great stuff, and the way he sent Gabe into the coffin with the dive was great. Naturally, Darby wants after the AEW World Championship, and naturally he’s not the only one. Great promo from Omega to call out Swerve, and great response from Swerve. It would be so wild if Swerve became the “new EVP,” I’d love to see him abuse his power rather hypocritically given how he got The Bucks demoted.

Bailey VS Davis was a great match, but it was kinda filler since Davis wasn’t getting a Trios rematch. And while Bailey had a good promo beforehand, there was something weird about it. Renee moved aside like she was getting out of the way of what was coming, aka a blindside attack. But that attack never came. Did TK change the plan last minute? I dunno, just seemed really weird to me. Great promo from MJF because MJF can always bust out a great promo when he wants to. Him setting up that “I’m going to Disneyworld!” line was really clever.

Very good promo from Andrade with Jon Cruz and Don Callis. It would be quite the twist if the Don Callis Family Civil War happened over this “business deal” between MJF. Then it wouldn’t be so much Team Okada VS Team Konosuke as Pro MJF VS Against MJF. Also, Konosuke leading a trio against Mistico & JetSpeed is surprising. Mistico can’t be a transitional champion, right? This is so that Konosuke and Okada can argue over how they both lost to Mistico before moving onto their own feud, right?

Great stuff with the opening half of the show. Ospreay VS Blake was great, especially for Ospreay’s return match. Then great segue into interacting with The Death Riders. Clearly, we’re gonna get Ospreay VS PAC first, that’ll be awesome. Ospreay can take the Spring and Summer to build himself up towards Moxley and the Continental Championship in time for All In 2026. Great tag match of Moxley & Yuta VS Juice & Ace, but of course Garcia made sure to help out. Garcia & Claudio VS Komander y Mascara Dorada will be a great match, and that feels like a win for Claudio before he faces Hechicero for CMLL’s next big event.

Very fun vignette of Jurassic Express making the road trip from LA to Fresno, and good promo from Jack with The Bucks. Very good promo from Okada & RPG Vice, too, and Okada always finds a way to take jabs at Konosuke, another reason they need to finally have their feud. Awesome Six Man Tag main event, and a great win for The Elite. Good promo from The Bucks to help close the show, but something about C&C and FTR showing up to add on was odd. I suppose it had to happen tonight and not on Collision, given Slam Dunk Weekend is back. But FTR really was dumb for thinking they, at less than 100%, could fight four guys. And a double tug-o-war over the belts? A little too WWE for AEW but that’s just me. But at least they cut to the point of making FTR VS C&C for the titles.

My Score: 8.9/10
