Winners: The Dogs, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Bullet Club may be gone, but these Dogs are still here, and they now reign in AEW! But then Roderick Strong is on the tron to shout, “DOGS!! Congratulations on your victory. But I know you guys weren’t done with us, especially after what you did to us Wednesday. Now, I know there’s three of you and there is only two of us. But there just might be a third.” Orange Cassidy finishes a phone call and says yeah, there might. Okay, then what’d he say? Oh, Cassidy forgot to ask. He can just call back. Roddy says do it now! Cassidy redials and Roddy says they’ll see The Dogs on Sunday! See you there! The Dogs don’t sweat it, but who will be the third man, brother?

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.

The United Empire regrouped backstage, victorious from the Chaos in Canada, but Will Ospreay says, “Lemme get this straight, Jon Boy. Last week, you said there was six of you and only one of me. That’s funny, because I got a lot of friends over in Japan. Not even friends, brothers, guys that looked after my back since day one. Francesco Akira, one of the greatest Junior Heavyweight Tag wrestlers of all time. Henare, one of the toughest mother effers I’ve ever met in my entire life. This guy knocked out Gabe Kidd with one hand, bang, across his head, and a gash in his head that was about four centimeters.

“And this is my little brother, Callum Newman. You may recognize that (title on his shoulder). He is the youngest-ever IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Together, we’re the United Empire.” Callum says after Ryogoku, after winning the most prestigious title in all of pro-wrestling, Big Brother Billy took ’em all out to the bar, said he had a problem at work. Well, there’s one thing about the Empire: The ARE united. They’ve had their differences, they’ve had things going on, but it doesn’t matter where or when, The Empire stands together. They are a brotherhood! Damn right. And Jon, Sunday, Ospreay gets you all to himself.

No Death Riders, no United Empire, just them and the Continental Championship. And Moxley said he wont’ stand in the way of action and consequences. Good. Neither will Ospreay. The Aerial Assassin’s edge is sharpened, but will he be able to cut down The Maniac?

Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida VS Ava Lawless & Gigi Rey!

Both former AEW Women’s World Champions have been dealing with some frustrations over not winning titles. But these two go away back to the early days of AEW, so surely they can make a formidable tag team. Will this be the beginning of the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo? Or are they resting on their laurels even now?

The teams sort out and Shida starts against Ava. The fans cheer Ava on as a local favorite, but Shida fires off forearms! Shida ROCKS Ava and puts her in the corner. Shida whips corner to corner, then runs in, and she JUMP KNEES Ava! Shida climbs up and rains down fists! The fans count along and Shida goes to TEN! Shida is fired up, the fans cheer, and Shida brings Ava around to suplex for the FALCON ARROW! Shida then winds up and runs, but Kris tags in! Shida is upset by that but Ava hot tags Gigi! Gigi runs up and RAMS Kris! Gigi fires forearms, but Kris snap suplexes! Then a roll through for the FISHERMAN BUSTER!

Kris runs to BOOT Ava down, then she brings Gigi up. Gigi fires body shots, but Kris whips Gigi away. Gigi ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls and- NO, Kris blocks for STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris & Shida win!

Winners: Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida, by pinfall

Shida is stunned, because for one, she was about to finish Ava on her own a moment ago. But a win is a win, so maybe there’s something to #Krishida after all. Unless…?

Maya World & Hyan speak.

“In the world of professional wrestling, we consider ourselves opportunists.” This is Hyan, the Renaissance Woman, so you know she can do it all. And this is #ThatGirl, Maya World! When the lights shine bright, all eyes are on her! They’re also a couple Texas girls, so you know they love a good fight! The AEW Women’s Tag Division is stacked, and Divine Dominion are at the top. They may be bigger and stronger, but that never stops Maya & Hyan. At Dynasty, in the Zero Hour, Maya & Hyan are coming for the titles! Megan, Lena, you can clock that!

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.

The Death Riders regrouped after that loss, but Moxley laughed it off and said that was so much fun. Chaos, tables breaking, bodies flying everywhere. They live for this! The Empire stepped into the Death Riders’ world and survived, congrats, good for them. But do they wanna do it again? Or do they want to never have to do that again? This is where Death Riders live! This is what they do, this is what they are! They thrive in the chaos, the live in the eye of the storm! No organization, not in AEW or NJPW or CMLL, nowhere else in this world, can they run with this group. No one can keep up with this group, not for long.

Others get tired, hurt, distracted, fall off, break. Will Ospreay is hellbent on breaking Moxley’s neck. So headstrong, so determined, so talented. Ospreay has done everything right in his career. Maybe. With this play that he’s making, 20 minutes alone with Moxley to get his hands on Moxley, that is a very long time to not make a mistake. Not with a neck like that! Ospreay can’t afford it. So screw Ospreay, screw the United Empire, screw NJPW, it’s them VS The World! Moxley leaves, Daniel Garcia reiterates, “Against the world.” Will nothing stop MOxley from keeping that Contiental Championship?

Casino Gauntlet Stakes: Rush VS Anthony Bowens!

Tommaso Ciampa won the #1 spot in the TNT Championship Casino Gauntlet, but now it is time to determine who joins him as #2! Will El Toro Blanco stampede his way into Vancouver? Or will the Pride of Professional Wrestling prove he can be a killer?

The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally for Rush as the two tie up, then break. They tie up again, Bowens headlocks, but Rush fires body shots. Rush puts Bowens on ropes, headlocks in return, but Bowens powers up and out. Things speed up, Bowens drops down then hurdles over, but Rush leaps over Bowens! Rush comes back but Bowens RUNS him over! Rush returns to RUN Bowens over! The fans fire up as the two start shoving. Then they start throwing forearms! Rush fires up and eggs Bowens on. The forearms keep going, then Rush CHOPS! Bowens scowls to CHOP again! Rush CHOPS!

The CHOPS go back and forth, then Bowens CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Bowens runs, but rush dodges to CHOP! And CHOP! Rush eggs Bowens on again, then dodges to DECK him! Bowens goes to a corner while the fans fire up. Rush sits Bowens down to stomp away on him! Rush then goes corner to corner and back again, to fake the dropkick, and he BOOTS Bowens instead! The fans are torn as Rush rolls back to tranquilo. Rush then hears the fans fire up. Bowens runs up but Rush SNAP POWERSLAMS him! Rush kicks and runs, but into a BOOT from Bowens! Bowens CLUBS and ELBOWS Rush again and again!

Bowens CLUBS Rush down, Rush bails out, and Bowens goes out after Rush. The fans cheer Bowens as he whips Rush hard into railing! And then whips him hard into more railing! Bowens scissor fingers some fans, then he SMACKS Rush off the steel steps again and again! Rush falls over, Bowens roars, and the fans cheer him on! Bowens drags Rush up, reels him in, but Rush fights the suplex! Bowens fires body shots, but Rush still fights! Bowens whisp Rush into more railing! Rush flops down, Bowens refreshes the ring count, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Bowens stomps Rush, but Rush SPITS at him! Bowens snarls and SUPERKICKS Rush down! Cover, ONE! Rush toughs it out but Bowens clamps on with a chinlock, then a COBRA CLUTCH! Rush endures, even as Bowens grinds him down! Rush fights up, fights around, and fires body shots. Rush DROPKICKS Bowens into the corner! Rush snarls but he has control as Collision goes to break.

Bowens drags Rush up, whips him to a corner, but Rush reverses. Rush SPLASHES, then he snapmares to basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up with Rush, and he sees Bowens go to the corner. Rush kicks Bowens, eggs him on, but Bowens bumps Rush off buckles! Bowens ROCKS and CHPOS, but then Rush puts Bowens in the corner to CHOP and CHOP! Bowens ROCKS and CHOPS and repeat! Rush guzels but Bowens breaks free to ROCK Rush! Rush hits back and the fans cheer the forearms flying!

Rush wrenches Bowens into the ANGLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Bowens survives and Rush is furious! The fans rally as Rush rises up, and he brings Bowens around to whip to the corner. Bowens reverses, runs up, and he puts Rush in the ropes. ENZIGIRI! Then the DRAPING SIDEWINDER! Cover, TWO! Rush survives and the fans fire up again! Bowens snarls, he pounds the mat, and the fans rally. Bowens goes to a corner, takes aim at Rush, and he runs up, but into a CORNER BELLY2BELLY! Not the strongest throw, but Rush looks to add on! The fans cheer Rush as he runs corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…!”

But Bowens ELBOWS Rush first! Then Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! Bowens runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Rush survives again and Bowens grows frustrated.

Cover, Rush wins!

Winner: Rush, by pinfall (will enter the Casino Gauntlet at #2)

Psycho Killer and El Toro Blanco, that already makes for a dream match for the TNT Championship! But who else will join them in that Casino Gauntlet? Who will have the hot hand and win the jackpot?

Backstage interview with The Brawling Birds.

Lexy Nair is with Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter and says they both have a big Sunday at Dynasty in separate singles matches as Windsor takes on Marina Shafir and Jamie challenges Thekla for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Tonight, they take them both on together in a tag match. Alex tells Marina that while she serves as Moxley’s little lap dog, she’ll send a message to Moxley: “Jon, Will is gonna cut the head off the snake, but first, I’m gonna chop off the ass! But don’t worry when Will breaks your neck, because I promise I will put Marina right next to you.”

Jamie tells Thekla that she must admit, Thekla’s doing pretty well for herself. Jamie honestly didn’t think Thekla would get this far! The last time they stood across the ring from each other, Jamie didn’t see some Toxic Spider or even some crazy girl, she saw a tosser who was too afraid to get hit! Now, she’ll tell you for free, Jamie will hit Thekla harder than she’s ever been hit before. So tell her, what does that title mean to you? Because to Jamie, it is her life! Alex tells Thekla and Marina to stop drinking, because they’re about to beat the piss outta you! The Birds don’t give a flying F, but will they be able to solve this toxic problem even before Dynasty?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron and Min a Shirakawa.

Lexy Nair sits with them in the lounge area, and she brings up that Harley had asked Kris to team up, only to be turned down. But now she and Mina are both here, how are they both feeling? Harley says sometimes, all you have left is hope. Mina agrees. Harley says she and Mina are rather similar, in more ways than one. But the main thing is, Kris rejected Harley’s idea of tagging and training together, Mina is without Toni Storm, and now they’re both here, alone together. Yep. There is only one thing left to do. Lexy asks what that is, and Mina grabs a couple of glasses, but Harley says just hand her the bottle. Bottoms up, tops down.

Lexy watches as Mina sips her bubbly, and Harley chugs the bottle! Well, drinking away the pain only lasts so long. Will Mina and Harley help pick each other up so they can both move forward?

AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ The Don Callis Family VS Myron Reed!

On Wednesday, the deal was struck that if The Rainmaker & Alpha work together at Dynasty against The Young Bucks, Double or Nothing would see Rainmaker VS Alpha for this title. But does that mean Okada is already overlooking the third Rascal? Or will Okada use Myron to send a message to everyone, including Takeshita?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who lights it up!

Callis joins commentary and says that this match is just to tie up loose ends, and that “this green headed little punk is gonna get his ass handed to him by the great Rainmaker, Okada.” The bell rings and the fans rally for Okada as he circles with Reed. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Okada’s height gives him the leverage. They go to the ropes, Okada lets off slowly, but then he ROCKS Reed with forearms!

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.

Willow Nightingale returned backstage, victorious as AEW TBS Champion, and she says, “Oh my gawd! Okay, Queen Aminata, tonight, Dynamite, she brought it! On Collision this past week, Shida, she brought it! These girls are coming back, they’re making me work, but it’s all good, because I am still the Face of TBS! Your TBS Champion, Willow Nightingale! And I’m excited, I’m happy, arms wide open, welcoming these girls back. Tony Schiavone was out there calling me the Comeback Killer.

“So if you’re home right now, if you’re recovering from an injury, if you’re needing to rediscover yourself a little bit, take some time away… I’m here waiting. TBS Championship will on be the line, anywhere, any place. Come and try and take it.” The Babe with the Power also has the confidence, but will this unique open challenge come back to bite her?

Divine Dominion speaks.

Lena Kross says, “Holding these titles means we are the best. That we set the standard for the Women’s Tag Team Division. And somehow, Hyan & Maya have caught our attention as they desperately try to rise from the bottom. Admirable. But what makes you think you belong in the same realm as us?” Megan Bayne says, “Now, now. We are gracious champions. So here’s your gift. This Sunday, Dynasty: Zero Hour, we grant you the opportunity to step into our domain, and fight not just for the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships, but for your honor. But understand this: You are beneath us. So now the only question is, can you survive long enough to keep us entertained?”

The Megasus & Aussie Amazon have spoken, will they dominate and destroy Hyan & Maya like all the rest? Or will The Renaissance Woman & #ThatGirl move heaven and earth to reach the mountaintop?

Thekla & Marina Shafir VS The Brawling Birds!

The Toxic Spider and The Problem each have their battles with Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor at Dynasty, and we all know no one out of these four gives any F’s about how hard they have to fight to win. Will the AEW Women’s World Champion and the Death Riders’ femme fatale have all the momentum on their side? Or will this truly be an example of two birds, one stone?

The teams sort out, but then Thekla & Marina just attack The Birds! The ref reprimands but the fans cheer as they are indeed brawling!

Marina KNEES Windsor, Thekla sends Jamie into railing, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. Thekla says the barrier is sturdy, and Marina tells the ref to take it easy. Thekla CHOKES Jamie with the padding, and Marina full nelsons Windsor to make her watch. Thekla SMACKS Jamie off the desk! Thekla asks commentary how they’re doing tonight, and she pretends to tap a wristwatch, saying it is only a matter of time. Marina CLUBS Windsor, then UPPERCUTS her down!

The ref is getting fed up with this, but Marina finally goes to the ring. But Windsor reels her back out for a WHEELBARROW SLAM off the apron! Jamie suplexes Thekla hard on the floor!

It wasn’t easy, but The Birds managed to solve The Problem! Wait, is Marina smiling? Is she just that excited to have another fight like this with Iron Will Windsor? Will Jamie make sure Thekla gets a real taste of Hayterade? Or will Thekla make sure AEW stays toxic?

My Thoughts:

A great go-home episode of Collision, and of course they had three different post-Dynamite promo segments to add some final touches on things. Good promos from United Empire and Death Riders, and Garcia having to have the last word makes me wonder. Will Garcia try and help Moxley despite Continental Rules? Will Garcia cost Moxley the title because of that? They have yet to even tease such a thing in the history of this title and the Continental Rules, this could be the time to do it. But at the same time, Moxley VS Ospreay having a real finish, even a 20 minute time limit finish, would be more favorable for the fans.

A title change here tonight is really surprising. At the same time, Mistico was a TRIPLE champion between AEW and CMLL, so something had to give. But The Dogs turning right around to face Cassidy, Roddy, and I can only assume a returning Kyle O’Reilly, are The Dogs going to be transitional champions to The Conglomeration? That’d be pretty wild, but would also compel a renewed rivalry between Dogs and Conglomeration going towards Double or Nothing and beyond. For that matter, maybe Hurt Syndicate finding a new member is something they build towards DON, as they simply did a squash match win to get them going again.

Kris & Shida of course won their match, but this seems to be a vehicle for a feud, or at least Shida’s Heel turn. Mina and Harley had a very fun promo, especially with Harley chugging that drink. I don’t know if Mina & Harley become a duo, or they get in on the story with Kris and Shida to build up the midcard, but Mina and Harley both know how to be hilarious so this will be a lot of fun. Good promos from Maya & Hyan as well as Divine Dominion, but clearly Maya & Hyan are being fed to Megan & Lena to build their reign. Though, it is wild to think Maya & Hyan are getting this moment at all from the great work they’re doing in ROH.

Rush VS Bowens was great stuff, especially for Bowens bringing out his aggression, but Rush winning out was a given. I really do mean it when I say Ciampa and Rush could just be the TNT Championship match on its own, but the Casino Gauntlet will be a lot of fun, as it always is. Not sure what’s going on with “Bowens wants to be in The Opps” since we haven’t seen Hook in a minute. And that Acclaimed reunion slow burn went ice cold, not sure why TK didn’t/hasn’t see the road ahead for it. He could even be using The Opps as part of it, where Caster is also trying to prove he has ruthless aggression. But just as they’d been teasing before, Caster and Bowens would see they’re better together, no one else needed, and boom, Acclaimed is back!

The Bucks VS Clon y Hechi was a great match, perhaps better than it needed to be, but that’s also par for the course with AEW. Okada VS Reed was also great, but sadly a forgone conclusion when they gave us that deal within The Don Callis Family. Bucks have momentum, Okada has momentum, Konosuke has momentum, the tag match could go either way, but all with the purpose of building Okada VS Takeshita. And great main event tag from Brawling Birds VS Thekla & Windsor. Marina taking the loss protects Thekla, but I feel she’ll find a way to retain against Jamie. Marina VS Windsor can go either way, since it’s non-title and is kinda more about the larger Death Riders story.

My Score: 8.9/10
