PLAY BY PLAY
The Conglomeration speaks.
Roderick Strong shouts, “ORANGE!” Cassidy says, “What?” Roddy says thanks for the new shirt with himself on it, it’s great. Kyle O’Reilly says he loves this teamwork, this camaraderie, and hey, they’re in Portland for Playoff Palooza! Conglomeration, Collision, this is a good night to defend the trios titles for the first time ever! But then FTR steps in, and #BigStoke says Cash & Dax have something that’s actually important to say to Cope & Cage. Second, everyone backstage knows The Conglomeration is about to lose to the Don Callis Family, FTR’s close personal friends. See you later, losers.
FTR make their entrance, and the Veterans Memorial Coliseum isn’t exactly happy about it. Stokely leads the way into the ring and they get the mics. Cash starts off by saying, “Big Cope, we saw the challenge you laid out, very interesting. Very interesting indeed. So I know you probably think you’re gonna pull one over on us, that you’re gonna trick us into accepting this, but all you really had to do was bring something, anything to the table to entice us. And I gotta say, you saying that if you lose again to FTR, that you will no longer team? That sounds pretty enticing to me. So I’m not gonna drag this out. Challenge accepted!”
The fans cheer that, and Dax says of course Cope would say he deserves the rematch. But why? Because of some success they had 25 YEARS ago? Dax will lay a little cold, hard truth on Cope & Christian. Nobody wants them here! The fans boo that, but Dax says FTR doesn’t want them here! The locker room doesn’t want them here! As dumb as these fans are, they’re smart enough to know that they don’t want C&C here! No one associated with AEW wants C&C here! And now, give Dax a moment. Cope didn’t have to play his little mind games like challenging their man hoods. All they had to do was put their careers on the line.
The fans boo more, but Dax says the New York Street Fight sounds great to them, but let’s do it one better! If they’re gonna have this match with all this riding on the line… Dax wants there to be no more questions! No more debate! New York Street Fight, I QUIT STYLE! Dax wants C&C’s wives, daughters, dogs, and God Almighty to hear the one thing that is embarrassing to every man: Five letters, two words, “I QUIT!” And then after that, C&C, you can go on about your way, this here is done. Continue on with your nostalgia run while FTR goes on as the greatest tag team to EVER do this! Now the ball is in your court, Cope. #TopGuysOut.
The fans boo, but FTR saw the tag careers and raised them their dignity! Will Cope & Cage call that bet as we all go Double or Nothing? But as FTR takes their exit, The Conglomeration makes their entrance! FTR gets in their face, so The Conglomeration SHOVES them down! Will Cassidy, Roddy & Kyle show FTR what a real team looks like? Or will the Don Callis Family add more gold to the treasury?

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
The Death Riders are still carrying a semi-conscious Ospreay, as we saw them do after the medical/referee stoppage against Mark Davis. They place Ospreay in a chair, and Moxley takes a seat across from him. Yuta splashes water on Ospreay to wake him up, and Marina puts a towel around him. She wraps it around, gives it some strong tugs, and then a neck massage? Moxley says she’s good, huh? Then he asks Ospreay, “What is it you’re trying to accomplish?” Breaking Moxley’s neck? Breaking his own neck? When Ospreay goes to the ring, when he gets up in the morning, where is Ospreay trying to go? Who is Ospreay trying to be? What is it Ospreay is chasing?
Moxley doesn’t think Ospreay even knows the answers to those questions anymore. It was almost seven years ago that Moxley saw Ospreay for the first time. The power Ospreay wields and the ability Ospreay has… Mind, flesh, blood, muscle, bone. It will all break eventually. You try to run through a brick wall as much as you want, the wall doesn’t go anywhere. But if you step back and realize there is a door, you can walk right through it and become whoever you want on the other side. This, the mind, can be trained, honed properly, so that it will not break. You take dominion over your mind, and you can become a weapon like pro-wrestling has never seen.
But this thing between them has to come to a head one way or another. So they can settle up. Moxley puts a steel chair between them. Ospreay can be just like everyone else. Or, he can become everything he was meant to be. Moxley kisses the ground as he lies down, and he says it is Ospreay’s choice. Ospreay picks up the chair, looks it over, and looks as the Death Riders step back. Ospreay has the cameraman leave, but why? Does Ospreay go through with the easy route of taking Moxley out? Or does he accept The Maniac’s offer and see how far down the rabbit hole he can go?
10 Man Tag: The Young Bucks & The Rascalz VS Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, David Finlay & Clark Connors!
Well, Moxley and Marina are here, so Ospreay didn’t crush Moxley with the chair. The Maniac joins commentary as his solders, as well as their associates in The Dogs, are about to wage war with two teams that stand in their way of glory. But will the Death Riders & Dogs run roughshod through Matt, Nick, Dez, Zach & Myron? Or are we about to have the most lit Superkick Party ever?

Moxley loved the fast ‘n’ furious nature of it all, but The Dogs brought it back down to the mat. They huddle up for the celebration, but will nothing stop these dangerous deviants from doing whatever they want?
Backstage interview with Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Mina Shirakawa & Harley Cameron.
Lexy Nair is with these four and thanks them for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Mina & Harley have something to say to Shida & Statlander, so the floor is theirs. Harley knows Kris wouldn’t train her, or even consider it, but Shida… What you said about Harley… Mina demands Shida apologize! Shida says okay, okay. Harley, Shida will say it in English and to Harley’s face that Harley is NOT on their level! She has never been on their level! And if Harley still doesn’t believe that, then Shida and her good friend, Statlander, will prove it by doing what Harley could not! And that is beat Divine Dominion for the Women’s Tag Team Championships!
Mina asks Stat how she can trust Shida, but Shida tells Mina to shut up for once! But then Harley surprises everyone by knowing Japanese! Mina agrees with Harley, but while they’re all arguing, Kris heads out. Shida says look at what they’re doing to Stat Daddy! Shida hurries off after her “good friend,” but will #Shidalander really succeed where the Babes of Wrath failed?
Kris Statlander w/ Hikaru Shida VS B3CCA!
Well, dysfunction aside, the combination of the Galaxy’s Greatest and the Shining Samurai has been on a roll. But is the former AEW Women’s World & TBS Champion really interested in the Triple Crown? Or will she make her intentions known with her actions rather than her words?

Kris runs, and ROLLING- NO, Becca hits a FLATLINER! And then a HEADSCISSOR NECK LOCK! But Kris endures, drags Becca up, and tucks her in! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Becca put up quite a fight, but this is why Kris is a former champion. Shida celebrates but Kris doesn’t want anything to do with it? Will Kris have to make it plain to Shida that they’re not a team?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Speaking of the Women’s Tag Team Champions, Lexy is now with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross and brings up the challenge thrown out by Shidalander. What is their response? Lena asks, “Why? Why should we be worried about Shida & Statlander? What about us doesn’t look like we have been ready and waiting?” Megan asks, “And why would we be worried about another thrown-together tag team who thinks they stand a chance?” What these two have is more than these titles. They have an understanding that there are no two women in this godforsaken realm that look like they do, that move like they do, and that destroy like they do.
This isn’t a challenge, this is their challenger’s fate. Do they accept it? The Divine Dominion has spoken, will The Megasus & Aussie Amazon continue to crush all who oppose them?
Rush VS Adam Priest!
El Toro Blanco has been itching for a fight, and #AllGenresAdam may have made the mistake of giving him one. But can Priest survive a run in with this ungovernable bull? Or will Rush stampede through him and right to a title opportunity?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Rush on. Adam offers a handshake but Rush kicks it away. The two circle, feel things out, and tie up. Rush slips around to waistlock but Priest switches.

Rush HEADBUTTS Priest again and again, then argues with the ref. Rush runs corner to corner, but fakes the dropkick! The fans cheer as Rush then BOOTS Priest!

Rush puts Priest in the corner, stomps a mudhole in, then fires fists! Rush again tells the ref to back off. Rush pumps his fist and the fans chant along, “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush finally goes to the corner, “If you mess with the bull…” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Priest put up a fight, but not enough to stop El Toro Blanco! Rush then demands a mic and a mic is brought. Rush has them stop his music, and he tells Priest to listen. “Remember: When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS!” A simple enough message, but will Rush make sure to bring more gold to LFI in the near future?
Konosuke Takeshita speaks.
“Okada… Out of respect for Don Callis and the Don Callis Family, I tried to avoid this. But if you really wanna face me at Double or Nothing, I will happily take your title. B*TCH!”
Kazuchika Okada responds.
“Takeshita. I don’t fear you. I don’t like you. I don’t respect you. But…” Okada then shifts into Japanese to call Takeshita out for being a selfish bastard who has it all wrong! At Double or Nothing, Konosuke will LOSE! The Rainmaker and The Alpha are finally having out this sibling rivalry within the Don Callis Family, but who proves they’re truly the golden boy?
Alex Windsor & Persephone VS Thekla & Skye Blue!
Jamie Hayter is sidelined again thanks to The Toxic Spider, and that really sets Iron Will Windsor off! But when in need of an ally, the Goddess of the Underworld stepped forward! Will the combined power of the NJPW Strong & CMLL World Women’s Champion be enough to crush two-thirds of the Triangle of Madness? Or are they simply falling into a trap?
The teams sort out and Windsor starts against Thekla, but then Thekla tags out to Skye just to troll Windsor. Windsor and Skye get face to face, then they start shoving.

AEW National Championship: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS CLØN!
Jack has been golden ever since Revolution, but he knows The Don Callis Family are hungry for titles. Perry overcame #DangerousDavis at Dynasty, but will he regret giving the Family another shot? Or can Jungle Jack figure out this Corrupted Copy?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Jack continues to live his best Tarzan Life!
The bell rings and the fans cheer Jack as he stands on the corner. Clon says he can do that, and he indeed stands on a corner. The fans cheer, and Jack says okay. They circle, feel things out, and tie up. Jack headlocks, Clon powers up and out, but Jack RUNS him over! Jack blows a kiss, runs, but handsprings over the dropdown.

CLONSAULT but onto knees! Jack runs in, goes up and over, GERMAN SUPLEX! Then the GLASS JAW BREAKER KNEE!! Cover, Jack wins!
Winner: “Jungle” Jack Perry, by pinfall (still AEW National Champion)
The gamble did not come back to bite Jack, and he’s still a champion! But will Tarzan Life continue on as we head for Double or Nothing?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Rush got a tough fought victory tonight against Adam Priest, and he looks to keep momentum going on Wednesday! Who else will get the horns? Then, with the challenge issued and accepted, we will get The Divine Dominion VS #Shidalander for the AEW Women’s World Championships! Will Megan & Lena continue to dominate? Or will Shida prove she can be trusted when she and Stat take the titles?
Willow Nightingale speaks.
“So they’ve been calling me the Comeback Killer. And hey, listen, you know me, I hate to rain on anyone’s parade, because I know how hard it is to come back from injury. But if you wanna come back at my expense, I’ll show you exactly why I gladly accepted such a nickname. Shida found out, Aminata found out, and Kamille found out. So, whether you’re curled up at home, or you’re rehabbing in the gym, or you’re sitting in that locker room, sitting in catering, sitting across from me, or sitting next to me, I am the TBS Champion, The Face of TBS. I am Willow Nightingale, and I am at your service.”
The Opps walk ‘n’ talk backstage.
Samoa Joe is happy to see “Speak ‘n’ Spell” Shibata again, and he asks what Hook’s been up to. Hook says he’s been holding it down, recruiting for them, that kinda stuff. Aight, cool. Speaking of which, Anthony Bowens steps in and says they’re just the people he was looking for. Bowens welcomes Joe back, and reminds Hook that he said he’d have an answer by “next week.” Turns out, that’s tonight. Bowens is getting tired of waiting, he needs an answer. Is he in The Opps or not? Hook says Bowens needs to take a step back. There is one problem: No more vacancies! Joe asks Bowens, “Do you hear him? Was he clear enough for you? There’s no more vacancies in The Opps.
“Because it sounds like we found our newest one.” Bowens smiles as he and Joe shake hands on it. Hook seems a bit surprised, but he says Bowens passed the test. Welcome to the crew. Bowens smiles, will The 5 Tool Player be just the thing The Opps need to rise back up in AEW?
Six Man Tag: Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate w/ MVP VS The Demand!
The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla returned “home” to AEW, only for Ricochet, Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun to rain on his parade. And after ruining his return to PPV, bald, Ricochet had the audacity to say losing to him was Jericho’s new gimmick. But Ricochet made quite the miscalculation saying no one wanted to team with Jericho to face them. The Demo God called upon the All Mighty & The Standard of Excellence not because they like each other, but because they all despise The Demand! So now, will Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate put the hurt on Bald, Dumb & Ugly? Or will The Demand find a way to add Lashley & Shelton to their list?
The trios sort out and MVP joins commentary while Jericho keeps the fans fired up. Jericho steps up to start against Ricochet, they circle, but then Ricochet tags Kaun. Kaun tags Liona, and they threaten Jericho 3v1. But duh, Lashley & Shelton step in! The fans cheer as these six stare down, and Jericho gets the fans even hotter! Then the brawl is on! The fans cheer as Jericho goes after Ricochet, Lashley throat chops Liona, and Shelton fires off on Kaun! Jericho CHOPS Ricochet, Ricochet fires hands, and Kaun fires shots on Shelton!

Then NECKBREAKER! Lashley LARIATS Kaun up and out, and the fans fire up as Shelton dodges Liona! Shelton comes back to SATELLITE DDT! Liona tumbles out and the fans cheer again. Jericho joins Lashley & Shelton in the ring, then Jericho climbs up! Jericho aims, shrugs, and SUPER CROSSBODIES! Down goes The Demand and the fans fire up again! Jericho is loving it, and so is The Hurt Syndicate, as Collision goes picture in picture.
Jericho stands with Shelton & Lashley, hands raised as if they’ve won already. Ricochet sputters while Jericho keeps the fans chanting. Jericho goes out to line up another shot, and he AX- NO, Liona catches him and POSTS him! Jericho hobbles, Liona runs up on him, and LARIATS him down! Liona storms around, drags Jericho up, and Liona whips Jericho hard into railing! Kaun and Liona high-five and throw up the three for Demand. The ref reprimands but The Demand regroups. Liona tags Ricochet, Ricochet SMACKS Jericho off the apron, then shoves him in the ring. Ricochet AX HANDLES Jericho down, then clamps on a Ground Cobra Twist!
Jericho endures, Ricochet CLUBS him down, then Ricochet THROWS Jericho by his hair! The ref reprimands but Ricochet tags Kaun. The Demand mugs Jericho, Kaun CHOSP him, then Kaun RAMS Jericho int he corner again and again! The ref counts, Kaun tags Ricochet back in, and they continue to mug Jericho. Ricochet clamps on the Ground Cobra Twist again but Jericho endures. Playoff Palooza returns to single picture as the fans rally. Jericho fights up, fires body shots, then CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Jericho reaches for his corner but Ricochet CLUBS him in the back! Ricochet runs, but Jericho BACKDROPS him!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Ricochet hot tags Kaun, and Kaun blocks Jericho’s path! Jericho reaches out but Hurt Syndicate are just too far away! Jericho endures the bearhug to BELL CLAP! Kaun swings, Jericho dodges, hot tag to Lashley! The fans fire up as Lashley CLOBBERS Kaun, BLASTS Liona, and TOSSES Ricochet! Lashley RUNS Kaun over again, RAMS Ricochet, then RAMS Kaun! And then back to Ricochet! Then MILE HIGH FLATLINER! Then a kick and gut wrench for Kaun! DOMINATOR! Cover, Liona breaks it! The fans boo but Liona drags Lashley up. Liona CLUBS Lashley, whips him, but Lashey reverses!
Lashley LARIATS Liona up and out, then tags Shelton! Shelton waits on Kaun, then slips around to GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up as Shelton GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Then STEP-UP KNEE for Liona! Kaun runs up, Shelton slips around again, GERMAN SUPLEX! Ricochet leaps in, but Shelton gets him for a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up as Rip City is now Suplex City! Shelton tags Jericho, Jericho winds up, and he trips Ricochet! Ricochet fights the turnover, Liona runs up, but Jericho dodge! Jericho kicks a shin, then trips Liona! But Ricochet POSTS Jericho first! The fans boo but Lashley TOSSES Ricochet!
Lashley RAMS Ricochet, then runs again, but Liona trips him up! Liona drags Lashley out, fireman’s carries, SAMOAN DROP! Ricochet goes up, Jericho SHORYUKENS! And CHOPS! Jericho goes up, up, and rains down fists! The fans count along as Jericho gives Ricochet nine, then TEN before the SUPER STEINER! Ricochet flounders, the fans fire up, but Kaun is up! HAYMAKER! The fans boo but Kaun goes to a corner. Kaun climbs, but Shelton spings up to get him! SUPER ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Lashley and Liona meet! Lashley trips but he still SPEARS Liona! CODE BREAKER on Ricochet! Jericho covers, TWO!

Kaun SHOTGUNS Shelton! Lashley SPEARS Kaun! Liona POUNCES Lashley! Liona grins and he runs up on Jericho, but Jericho dodge! Liona tumbles up and out! Jericho dodges Ricochet to waistlock, Ricochet switches, but Jericho victory rolls, to then have the legs! Ricochet fights the turn, but still ends up in the WALLS OF JERICHO!! The fans are thunderous, but Kaun storms in! The ref stops Kaun, and that lets Liona drag Ricochet to safety!
Lashley CLOBBERS Liona and THROWS him into railing! Shelton does the same to Kaun! But Ricochet LOW BLOWS Jericho!! The fans boo but Ricochet pushes Jericho down, and hits the “RICOSAULT!” Cover, Demand wins!!
Winners: The Demand, by pinfall
MVP is as upset as anyone, The Demand used misdirection to steal another victory! But is Ricochet right? Is Jericho just the guy who gets beat up by The Demand every week he shows up? Or can Jericho turn things around before it gets any worse?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode for Collision, and I almost thought Playoff Palooza was gonna be delayed because of, well, playoffs. But anyway, great opening promo, much better than their usual “cold opens.” It certainly teased something for FTR VS Conglomeration, but there’s still FTR VS C&C to settle. And it fits the nature of “Double or Nothing” to raise the stakes on the title match. The Street Fight nature was already No Disqualification, and an I Quit match was already No Disqualification, so putting them together is both logical and not. But I suppose having New York themed items handy to beat each other with until someone verbally gives up is still a great combination. I would think C&C wins, though, so that they don’t have to break up.
As for Conglomeration VS Don Callis Family on the Don Callis Family’s fourth trios title match, great stuff, though maybe a little clunky at parts. Great win for Conglomeration, but who knows who they get for Double or Nothing. Great promo from Moxley and Ospreay, and Ospreay not crushing Moxley was clearly the right move for building some intrigue. Ospreay might not join Moxley & The Death Riders, but being trained by them would make for some good story. Feels like AEW is taking inspiration from DC Comics given their partnership, this is very much Slade Wilson training Dick Grayson to go from Robin into Nightwing.
Great little promo of Harley & Mina confronting Shida with Kris in the room. Shida is doing great playing this passive aggressive Face, especially with how enthusiastic she is for Kris. Great showing for B3CCA against Kris, but Kris was of course still winning. We’re definitely getting a tag match of #Shidalander VS Mina & Harley, and that can be when Shida turns on Kris. Rush VS Adam Priest was way better than it needed to be, but that’s good for Priest. Though, now it makes me wonder what Rush is even doing. What is LFI as a whole even doing? That group has felt either neglected or just cursed ever since they started in AEW, Tony Khan needs someone to help book this stuff.
Great tag match from Windsor & Persephone VS Thekla & Skye, but duh, of course Julia Hart would affect that ending. I’m still thinking we see a Triple Threat of the three women’s championships, but maybe we see Skye or Julia go after Perse’s title just so Perse can successfully defend the CMLL Women’s title on an AEW PPV. I’d rather have the Triple Threat to really make things interesting. Great National title match and another great showing for CLØN, but I figured Jack Perry would win. Between his reign just starting and Clon kinda being on standby until Hologram returns, this was an obvious outcome.
Good promos from Takeshita and Okada to call each other out, but they’re already pretty high in heat. The only thing that could add more is a brawl. Very good promo from The Opps for them to accept Bowens, but like, shouldn’t this have been aired during Dynamite? Joe was still in his gear! And very good main event Six Man Tag, though there was that moment when Lashley stumbled that was worrying, almost thought he hurt his leg. In the end, Demand of course wins by bending the rules like always. To me, this story is already the flipside of the usual “Jericho Vortex.” When Jericho was a Heel, he was always getting the better of his Face rival, and the Face would ultimately win in the end. With Jericho as a Face, he really is going to be losing again and again until we reach the blowoff/
My Score: 8.8/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?

Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?

They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?

Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?

Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
AEW mourns the loss of Ted Turner.
To remember the man who helped bring WCW to TNT, Tony Schiavone introduces the Icon of WCW, Sting! The fans cheer, and Sting hugs it out with Schiavone. Schiavone says here we are again. They both knew Ted Turner very, very well. He was a big part of their 40 year legacy, with a lot of memories of him, and surely Sting wants to share some. Sting takes the mic to say, “Can you imagine having an all-in billionaire who absolutely loved pro-wrestling? I’m talking about Ted. Big Ted. Big Ted, haha, yes. I can’t believe what he did for us. He was completely committed to us, devoted to us in every conceivable way.
“So much so, that when some of the top brass up there in CNN Towers would have their meetings with Ted, they’d say, ‘Ted, we don’t know about this pro-wrestling thing, it’s time to cut ’em off cuz we’re always in the red.'” The fans boo that notion, but Sting says Ted told the roster, “You wrestlers just keep on doing what you’re doing cuz I’ve got some deep pockets.” The fans cheer that! Sting says that’s shoot, that’s what Ted said. #ThankYouTed. And y’know, there wouldn’t be a TNT Championship, there wouldn’t be a Sting, a Darby Allin, a Tony Schiavone, or anyone else here tonight, so again, thank you, Big Ted.
The fans cheer, and Schiavone says speaking of Darby, he defends the AEW World Championship against the Turner Network Television Champion, Kevin Knight. What a match to have in memory of Ted tonight. Sting says that’s right. First of all, Sting & Darby took a blowtorch to AEW for three and a half years, and it felt great every single time! The fans cheer as Sting says it is great to be back in South Carolina! And it is great to know that Darby will wrestle for the world title tonight. The greatest tag partner Sting ever had! And Sting is also very thankful and grateful for a second all-in billionaire who wants to keep the ball rolling with AEW, and he’s talking about Tony Khan! Thank you, TK!
The fans cheer again, and Schiavone says that when you see the TNT Championship and TBS Championship belts, notice the side plates will have replicas of the studios from Techwood Drive, where it all started with the Turner Techwood Mansions. Tony Khan wanted those in honor of their past. Now, for his family, his friends, and all the lives he’s touched, tonight’s three hour block is now in memory of the maverick, Ted Turner. The crowd honors a moment of silence with ten rings of the bell, and then one more cheer of #ThankYouTed.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Juice Robinson!
The Death Riders have their hands in many pots, from trying to grab momentum in the tag and trios divisions to rebuilding Will Ospreay from the ground up. But with that, the Bang Bang Gang scored a win off Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia last Saturday, and Rock Hard Robinson is calling out The Maniac! Will this Stray Bullet hit the bull’s eye? Or will Moxley keep his Continental Championship card clear?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as these two go forehead to forehead. They have twenty minutes to settle this, and North Charleston is fired up for Moxley as he fires a forearm. Juice fires back, they go back and forth, forearm for forearm! Moxley ROCKS Juice, Juice ROCKS Mox! Mox RAMS Juice, Juice RAMS back, and repeat! They go back and forth with shoulder block after shoulder block, then they get forehead to forehead again. Moxley KNEES low, then CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” as the Carolinas know all about chops. Moxley whips but Juice ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up for Juice as he storms up on Moxley.
Juice CHOPS Moxley, stalks him to a corner, and CHOPS again! Moxley goes to another corner but Juice fires up! The fans are with Juice as he HEADBUTTS Moxley, then CHOPS again! Juice whips corner to corner, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Moxley storms up, reels Juice in, but Juice trips Moxley! Juice turns things around to then CATAPULT Moxley up and out! Moxley tumbles, but Juice then CANNONBALLS! Down goes Moxley and the fans fire up with Juice! Juice snarls as he stalks Moxley, fans say Guns Up, and Juice puts Moxley in the ring. The fans cheer Juice on as he slides in, but Moxley stomps fingers!
The fans rally and duel now as Moxley drags Juice up. Moxley bends Juice’s fingers, twists the wrist, then SNAPS fingers! Juice clutches his hand but Moxley KICKS him in the back. Moxley CHOPS Juice in the corner, then talks some trash before he swings. Juice dodges to CHOP! And JAB! JAB! JAB! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Juice pumps up, but Moxley bails out! Juice pursues to spin and THROW Moxley over barriers! Moxley tumbles around in the timekeeper’s area but Juice climbs up! The fans fire up as Juice leaps to DOUBLE AX HANDLE! The fans cheer as Juice pursues Moxley back to the ring.
Moxley goes to a corner and wants a moment to steady himself, but Juice climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, Juice goes to TEN, then BITES Moxley’s forehead! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands. Juice SPITS the taste out, then CROSSBODIES! Juice rains down fast hands, then fires up again. Moxley bails out while Juice huffs ‘n’ puffs, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Moxley hobbles around but Juice pursues. Moxley sits in a corner, but he kicks Juice low! Moxley then brings Juice around to whip, but Juice reverses, sending Moxley into the steel steps! Moxley writhes, the ref reprimands, but Juice asks the ref be patient. Juice puts Moxley in the ring, but Moxley runs to BOOT Juice down! Juice hits the steel steps on the way down! Moxley smirks while Juice is down, then Moxley flexes as he soaks up cheers and jeers. Moxley swaggers while he waits on Juice, but the ring count is climbing. Juice stirs at 5 of 10, sits up at 7, then rolls in! Juice flips Moxley off, but Moxley bends that finger!
Moxley makes Juice suffer as he twists the wrist, then BITES the fingers! The ref reprimands, Moxley “apologizes,” then he twists the wrist again. Moxley lets Juice go and Juice goes to a corner to check on his hand. Moxley runs up to LARIAT! Moxley brings Juice in for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Dynamite returns to single picture and Moxley stays on Juice with another wristlock. Juice endures again while the fans rally up. Moxley bends the fingers again, tortures Juice’s arm, but the fans rally up. Juice fights around but Moxley kicks him low. Moxley winds up to fire body shots from all sides, but stops as the ref counts.
Moxley grinds his forearm into Juice, then runs corner to corner, but into a LEG LARIAT! Juice falls but can’t make the cover! The fans rally again as Juice rises, and Juice manages to JAB! CHOP! JAB! CHOP! The fans chant “JUICE! WOO~!” again and again as Juice JABS and CHOPS in the corner! Juice whips corner to corner, then runs up to LARIAT! Moxley slumps down but Juice keeps moving, CANNON- NO, Moxley is up! Juice ducks the lariat, but Moxley blocks Juice’s, for a CUTTER! Moxley waits on Juice, daring him to get up.

Then the BULLY CHOKE!! Juice reaches out, fights around, and he powers up to his feet!
Moxley keeps Juice from ropes, and hits a takeover! “This is Awesome!” but Juice is fading! He’s red, he’s OUT! Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (denies Juice Robinson a title opportunity)
Juice pushed the time limit, but Moxley found a way to squeeze every bit out of Juice first. Will anyone take this title from Moxley at the rate he’s going?
The Death Riders continue their training.
As Wheeler Yuta uses Will Ospreay as a board for his deep ab crunches, which also tests Ospreay’s neck, Daniel Garcia says, “You just got off a 15 hour flight, you won titles with your petty little dramatic friends in Japan, we do not care. It’s us against the world. And if you wanna be the best version of yourself, you’re gonna have to work for it. C’mon, let’s get it! C’mon, c’mon, c’mon!” Ospreay keeps his head up, even as Yuta leans all the way back. Also, we see Marina training her kicks against Moxley’s abs. Ospreay powers through and Claudio calls time. Yuta steps off and Moxley kneels beside Ospreay. Both men laugh off the burning in their bodies.
Moxley says good, cool. Has Ospreay ever heard of the concept, “Death Ground?” Ospreay has not. Moxley says it is ground you cannot leave, from which there is no escape. There are no other options but to do or die. That is where Ospreay is right now. If we don’t get that neck right, if we don’t get that mind right, it’s over, Ospreay is done. Sure, Ospreay would still have his career in AEW, get paid to hang out like the rest of these posers. But that’s not what Ospreay wants. H e’s not like the rest of them. He is different. It is a privilege to be where you are, this far all the way up the mountain, where all he has left is that 1%.
This is the hardest 1% to climb. You’re on death ground now. It’ll be hard. But it’s the only good option. Nothing else exists but what is right in front of him. Every minute, every second. Now, on your back. Ospreay nods, and Marina is there with the towel. Pac says enough of you, cameraman. The camera shuts off as Marina works on Ospreay’s neck. Will the Death Riders truly rebuild Ospreay as a tougher, stronger, meaner Aerial Assassin?
Double Jeopardy: Orange Cassidy VS Dax Harwood!
While Adam Copeland & Christian Cage are putting their tag team career on the line at Double or Nothing, the Conglomeration and FTR are willing to gamble with each other. Freshly Squeezed is fighting for his own shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships, will he be leaving North Charleston with those golden tickets? Or will Dax the Ax earn himself, Cash Wheeler & Tommaso Ciampa a shot at the AEW World Trios Championships?
Well as if they aren’t obnoxious enough, FTR is mocking the Conglomeration by having #BigStoke dress up as Orange Cassidy, and then they’re being accompanied by Roppongi Vice, aka former friends of Orange Cassidy’s, and… The Dogs? Why’re Finlay & Connors hanging around these guys when they’re also supposed to team with The Death Riders later tonight? Finally, Cassidy makes his entrance, with Roddy & Kyle accompanying him. But wait, they have reinforcements, too, in the form of the Young Bucks AND Cope & Cage! The fans cheer as we might get a Rated R Superkick Party! Might as well call this a Lumberjack match for the heck of it!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as Cassidy puts his sunglasses away and circles with Dax. They feel things out, tie up, and Dax headlocks. Cassidy powers up and out, but Dax RUNS him over! Cover, ONE! Dax RUNS Cassidy over again, ONE! Cassidy drops down, hurdles over, but Dax counters hip toss with hip toss! Dax hurries but Cassidy UP KICKS him away!

The ref counts, Dax says he’s off. Cassidy blocks the chop! And blocks another! Dax gets in Cassidy’s face, but Cassidy puts his hands up. Dax pushes the ref aside, but the ORANGE PUNCH outta nowhere! Dax bails out, his entire crew is there, but Cassidy slides out. Cassidy has his punch at the ready, and his crew steps up to stare down with the rest. Cassidy runs up on Dax, but Dax sends him into the POST! Dax drags Cassidy up, puts him in, and he SLAMS Cassidy’s bad arm against the post! Dax slides, argues with the ref, and Stokely SLAMS Cassidy’s arm into post! The fans boo but even Ciampa gets a turn as Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Cassidy writhes but Stoke soaks up the heat. Cope & Cage storm over, Stoke hides behind literally everyone else, and they coach Cassidy on. Cassidy clutches his arm but Dax drags him up. Dax CHOPS Cassidy in the corner, then watches him flop down. Dax stomps the bad hand and Cassidy scrambles around. Cassidy bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax sends Cassidy back into the ring. Dax whips Cassidy to the corner, wraps the bad arm around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Dax CHOPS, and Cassidy flops down. Dax drags Cassidy up to TOSS him out, but the ref makes sure everyone stays back. Dax distracts the ref, that lets Ciampa get a shot in!
Cassidy’s crew protests, but Stoke still gets a shot in, too. The ref tells everybody to back off, this isn’t a real lumberjack match! Cassidy rolls into the ring, Dax brings him up, and Dax shoves, only for Cassidy to KICK! Cash gets on the apron, that makes the ref miss Cassidy’s cradle! The ref is late to the count, TWO! Dax LARIATS Cassidy down! Dax stalks Cassidy to ropes while Rocky soaks up heat for the team. Dax CHOKES Cassidy, but stops as the ref counts. Dax drags Cassidy up, brings him around, and CHOPS! Dax reels Cassidy in, puts him up top, then CHOPS again! Dax climbs up now, talks trash on the fans, then blows a kiss.
Dynamite returns to single picture as Dax CLAWS Cassidy’s face! The ref reprimands, but Cassidy fights the superplex with body shots! Cassidy fires forearms, Dax falls back, and Cassidy leaps! But into a BODY BLOW! Dax reels Cassidy in, but Cassidy fights the lift again. Cassidy wrenches but Dax CLUBS him! Dax whips, Cassidy goes up and out, then Cassidy SMACKS Dax off buckles! Cassidy goes up, up, and blocks an uppercut! Dax still returns to climb up after Cassidy, but Cassidy again fights the superplex! Cassidy fires more forearms, then BITES Dax’s head! The fans cheer as Cassidy then DECKS Dax! Dax staggers to his feet, into the DEEP IMPACT! Cover, TWO!
Dax survives but the fans rally up for Cassidy. Cassidy rises while Dax bails out. Dax’s crew checks on him, but Cassidy builds speed! Cassidy DIVES, but Dax denies the impact! Dax SMACKS Cassidy’s bad hand off the desk, then he ATOMIC SLAMS Cassidy on the desk! Cassidy writhes but Dax drags him up. Dax puts Cassidy in the ring, then mocks the hands up and hands in pockets. Dax “unleashes” kicks of his own, mocking Cassidy more and more. Cassidy puts his hands up, and then in his pockets! The fans cheer as now Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges to SHOTGUN! Cassidy kips up, tilt-o-whirls, and DDTS! The fans cheer as Cassidy rises again!
Cassidy shakes out the bad hand, but Stokely gets on the apron. The fans boo Stoke as he talks trash, but then he runs away as Cassidy steps closer. Dax CHOPS, JABS, and LARIATS Cassidy down! Dax then suplexes, but Cassidy slips free! O’Conner Roll, TWO! Cassidy runs into a FOREARM from Finlay! Dax rolls Cassidy up, TWO!! Cassidy survives, and now it’s on! The ref has to hurry to stop the crews from fighting, but Dax uses the chaos to grab the ring bell! Dax slides into the ring, but the ref spots that! The ref snatches the bell, Cassidy snatches Dax! Dax sunset flips through, but Cassidy rolls through to PENALTY KICK!
The fans fire up as the elbow pad comes off! Cassidy aims, ORANGE- NO, Dax gets under, shoves, then dodges the punch to reel Cassidy in! SLINGSHOT- NO, Cassidy grabs ropes, then BOOTS free! ORANGE- NO, Dax SWATS the hand! Pop-up and SLINGSHOT BOMB!! Cover, TWO?!?! No one can believe it but the fans are loving it! Dax and Cassidy slowly sit up, and Dax drags Cassidy up.

Cover, TWO!!
Cassidy is stunned, but his bad hand held him back on that cover. Cassidy grits his teeth and clutches the hand, but Dax gets the ARMBAR! Cassidy scrambles around, even as Dax stomps his face! Cassidy fights around, rolls, and he stacks Dax! Dax kicks at Cassidy but Cassidy has the legs! CROSS LEG CRADLE! CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (The Conglomeration are NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships)
But then all hell breaks loose as RPG Vice & Dogs storm the ring! Cope, Cage and The Bucks rush in there, too! The fans fire up as the brawl spills out of the ring! The Bucks, Conglomeration, and the team that reeks of awesomeness all control the ring, and they wait on RPG Vice! The fans cheer as Azucar & Trent realize the trouble they’re in. Rocky says they’re cool, right? That was all just business before! Cope says nope, and he pokes Rocky in the eyes! Feed to Kyle for a KNEE, then he and Roddy Ax ‘n’ SMASH! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for #JustTrent! Then a SPEAR from Cope! The fans fire up as Cage wants one, too! LOW BLOW for Rocky!
The fans cheer as Cope helps Cassidy stand up, and they all celebrate! The Bucks & Bang Bang Gang will settle things with The Dogs later, which side wins that wild 10 Man Tag? As for Cassidy, what combination of The Conglomeration will look to take the #TopGuysOut?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and thanks him for speaking with her given things didn’t go well the last time. How is he doing? Jericho says she is right, last time he said he was pretty pissed off. But after last week, he’s effin’ furious! But the time for talking is done! The time for words is over. Time to fight! Jericho says unlike The Demand, he doesn’t wanna fight backstage, so if he could, he’ll take this out to the people! Jericho borrows the mic and storms his way through the back of the crowd! “Alright, South Carolina! Hey! C’mon!” Jericho goes to ringside and fires the fans up more. They cheer “Y 2 J!” as he steps into the ring.
Jericho says he’ll keep this very simple, because this is North Charleston, this is AEW Dynamite, and he IS Jericho! And Jericho is done with beatdowns and blindsides and BS! So Ricochet, Jericho will ask- No, he’ll demand that Ricochet comes out here to talk to Jericho face to face, one on one, man to man, right here, right now! The fans cheer that! Jericho doesn’t have to wait long as Ricochet indeed makes his entrance. The One & Only is walking down the ramp alone at first, but then the Gates of Agony follow after him after all. The Demand goes to the ring, and Liona pushes past Jericho to fetch a mic for Ricochet.
Ricochet tells Jericho that he’s tried to do Jericho a favor by telling him to leave, and Jericho didn’t listen. The fans boo as Ricochet says all these simpletons must think it’s funny Jericho trademarked, “The Guy Who Gets His Ass Kicked By The Demand Every Week That He Shows Up.” Jericho says sorry, can’t hear a damn word you said! The fans cheer and boo even louder, and Ricochet says yeah, okay, maybe Jericho has a shame kink, but they can make that a reality here tonight, “in front of these overweight, mouth-breathing hillbillies right here in Charleston, North Carolina!” Now the fans boo cuz Ricochet can’t even remember north and south.
Ricochet says if he’s being honest, he’s kinda tired of this, kinda bored of this. So if they do this 1v1 again, what does The Demand get out of it? Kaun whispers an idea to Ricochet, and he says that’s actually not bad! Here’s one for you, Jericho. Six years ago, you created your own match, a match that happened at Double or Nothing. So this year, in a stadium that is proudly named after an American icon in Louie Armstrong, and Ricochet being an American icon himself, he will deal Jericho a losing record in his very own match. The fans tell Ricochet to shut up but he dares them to make him! Exactly! Sit down!
Ricochet goes back to Jericho to say this time, Ricochet won’t just beat Jericho with his own move, the Lionsault, now known as the Ricosault, but Ricochet will beat Jericho in a STADIUM STAMPEDE! The only problem is, Jericho had to pay people to watch his back! How’d that work out? Still couldn’t get the job done, huh? So Ricochet isn’t even sure Jericho can find partners for this match. Because here in AEW, Ricochet’s company, no one likes Jericho! The fans boo, but Jericho says first of all, you stupid SOB, this is SOUTH Carolina! The fans cheer that! Ricochet rolls his eyes, but Jericho says let’s get this right: Ricochet wants Stadium Stampede?!
The fans cheer for Stadium Stampede, and Jericho says Ricochet is on! He WILL find four partners, because surely someone here likes Jericho. And if he can’t, he’ll just take on all of them by himself! Bald! BONK!! Jericho knocks Ricochet down with the mic, then dodges Liona to SMACK Kaun! But Liona then grabs Jericho, whips him, but Jericho stops himself! Jericho DUMPS Liona out, then TOSSES Kaun! Ricochet is back, but gets a JUDAS EFFECT! The fans cheer as Jericho then lines it up, but Liona DECKS Jericho before he can Lionsasult! The Gates mug Jericho, but wait! The Hurt Syndicate rushes out here!
The fans cheer as Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin run The Demand off! Liona has to carry Ricochet away, but has Jericho found two of the four he needs? Who else will join the chaos that is Stadium Stampede?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is with the Wild Aussie and Fighting Gravure Idol and says there are surely conflicting emotions going into their tag match with Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander. But how are they feeling? Harley doesn’t know how to feel, but Mina says wake up! What Shida has done to Stat and them is not good! Can Harley trust Stat? Mina hopes so. But tonight, beyond friendship, beyond how they feel, they have a match to win! Harley, you are one of AEW’s first-ever Women’s Tag Team Champions! So, stop looking out there, and look in here! Mina RIPS Harley’s shirt open!? Mina apologizes for getting fired up, but Harley says she doesn’t care!
Harley tells Shida & Stat that the wrath is back! Harley finishes ripping her shirt away, and says tonight, you’re gonna feel it! Renee says this is gonna be one hell of a match! Now to get dressed… Harley & Mina hurry off, but will they hit #Shidalander with both barrels? Or will the Shining Samurai & Cosmic Killer continue to grow stronger as a duo?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada VS Bryan Keith!
With The Alpha defending his NJPW World Television Championship in Japan this past weekend, The Rainmaker will not be outdone by his “brother” in the Don Callis Family! But will Okada deny The Bounty Hunter is prize? Or is he about to get caught off guard in this trap game?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Okada is still going to Double or Nothing!
Callis of course joins commentary, and he says Okada is perhaps THE greatest wrestler of all time, so why wouldn’t he wanna be ringside for it? The bell rings and the two circle.

Okada refreshes the count, then brings Keith around to UPPERCUT him down! Keith falls at Callis’ feet while Okada rolls into the ring, and Callis stomps Keith while Okada distracts the ref! Callis gets away with his underhanded tactics, and Keith crawls to the ring. Lance Archer taunts Keith, but Okada puts Keith in the ring. Okada takes his time walking up to Keith, and Keith CHOPS again! Okada brushes that off, so Keith CHOSP again! Okada shakes his head, so Keith CHOPS again! Okada kicks low to DDT!
Keith sputters while Okada pushes him to a cover, TWO! Keith toughs it out, but Okada stalks him to the corner. Okada drags Keith up to ELBOW him in the corner! And ELBOW him again! And ELBOW him again! Okada backs off as the ref counts, but Keith ROCKS Okada! Okada KNEES low, whips Keith corner to corner, then runs up for another ELBOW! Okada snapmares Keith, then looms over him. Keith snarls as he sits up, but Okada brings him around as Dynamite returns to single picture. Okada scoops and SLAMS Keith, then goes to the corner. Standard formula says Okada goes up, and Keith knows it!
Keith gets under the leap, then comes back to clinch! Okada fights but Keith shifts to go for a takedown! Okada rolls through, but turns around into a KNEE! Both men are down but the fans fire up!

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Just as Bryan Keith was about to strike with Diamond Dust, Okada snatches away his victory to keep the gold! Callis then grabs the mic so he can say, “Okada has something important to say!” Okada is handed the mic, and he says, “I already have the International title. Unlike Takeshita! But I want more!” The fans like the sound of that! Okada says he is coming for THE A E W World Championship!! B*tch! The Rainmaker has staked his claim at the top prize, but is he overlooking what stands in his way? Or will the NJPW World Television Champion prove he can beat Okada and truly be THE Alpha of the Don Callis Family?
JetSpeed speaks.
Mike Bailey says, “Tonight, the TNT Champion becomes #Jet2Belts! Kevin, it’s time for you to prove that you’re no longer a rising star, but you’re way up there, shining bright, and you are the one we look up to.” Knight says he likes the way that sounds! Ever since he stepped into the building this morning, the air switched up a bit. And he appreciates Darby Allin for being the fighting champion he says he is, but what was it he was saying? Darby’s gonna fight until his body gives out? Well, Knight has news for you: that’s exactly what happens tonight when Darby steps into the ring with The Jet, and he becomes the NEW AEW World Champion!
The Jet is ready to fly, and Speedball also has his own match with AR Fox. Will tonight be the best night JetSpeed’s ever had?
The Opps speak.
Katsuyori Shibata wants to confiscate a camera like always, but Samoa Joe says nah, let the man do his job. Shibata stands with Joe and Anthony Bowens, and Joe says, “Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am Samoa Joe, and I am joined by The Opps. And I’m worried. See, last week, I put out an offer, and I am deathly afraid it is not being heard. Will Ospreay, please, hear these words and allow me to explain myself in a very non-intimidating manner. Y’see, men like Jon Moxley, they’re telling you how to think, Will. I don’t wanna do that, Will. I want you to think whatever you wanna think.
“Will, you gotta realize that I see the momentum. I see the tide rising, Will. I know that you are destined for greatness. And some say that you will be the next world champion. But now the question is, Will, how much of you will there be left to remain champion? Will, with a man like me at your side, with men like us at your side, William… That can be a very long time. Now you may say to yourself, ‘What are the advantages to this?’ Well, I’ll tell you what. In this organization, men like Hook, though he was unsuccessful last week, I won’t punish that man, no. This week, he’s off filming a movie, I made a few connections, I made a few calls, I put him in a better position to succeed.
“That’s what I wanna do for you. Anthony Bowens, long overlooked and underestimated, I will now provide an opportunity for him to succeed. This man here, Katsuyori Shibata, nowhere else in the world will he get to be him, The Wrestler, than with The Opps, and right here and right now. So William, just know this: The choice is yours, the choice is clear, and the intentions of the man that is staring you in the face right now are as clear as day. I’m gonna put out my hand to you one last time, and just know, William, if it is not accepted… Then I’ll put out my fist.” The Opps have given their ultimatum, but will Ospreay acknowledge it?
Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander VS Mina Shirakawa & Harley Cameron!
While the Shining Samurai wants to make herself and the Cosmic Killer into the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo, they did suffer a setback against The Divine Dominion. On top of that, the Fighting Gravure Idol is playing detective as she tries to figure out whodunnit to Toni Storm. But will #Shidalander rebound and head back for the gold? Or will they #FeelTheWrath of these buxom battle babes?

Shida CLUBS away on Mina, then lines up a shot. The fans are torn as Shida runs in, KNEE LIFT! Mina sputters but Shida taunts Harley. Shida says there are levels to this, but Harley says she’ll see Shida soon. Shida goes back to Mina and stomps her down while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Shida drags Mina up, bumps her off buckles, then climbs up to rain down fists1 Shida goes to TEN, then hops down. Shida wrenches and whips Mina corner to corner, then gets her on the rebound with a waistlock. Shida spins Mina around and around before the SLAM! Cover, TWO! Mina is tougher than that, but Shida drags her over to bump off buckles. Tag to Kris, they mug Mina, then Kris suplexes Mina, to hold her up!

Shida mugs Mina, then brings her around.
Shida suplexes, but just a standard one. Then Shida rear mounts Mina so she can clamp on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Mina endures being bent back, and she frees her arms to reach out. Mina kicks and crawls her way over to the ROPEBREAK! Shida lets go, then drags Mina up to scoop. Shida puts Mina in the ropes, tags Kris, then Shida coordinates with her. Dynamite returns to single picture as Shida lets herself be the weapon in the snap suplex into the corner! Shida’s feet get Mina in the face!

The shots go back and forth, harder and harder, then Mina fires a flurry! Mina ROCKS Shida, runs the ropes, but Shida clinches to ROCK Mina! Shida then suplexes, but Mina slips free! ROLLING ELBOW!

Winners: Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Shida is much more excited about this than Kris, but maybe that’s because Kris had to beat up a former friend to win. Will this duo continue to climb the ranks until they’re the champions?
Prince Nana is backstage.
Cameras follow him as he finds Swerve Strickland. Swerve says, “Two months ago, I told everybody that I was after power. Power. But it seems a few understand what it truly means. See, real power is being the one to decide who eats and who starves. Real power is being the man that nobody will stop, and making sure the whole world sees it. I’m the Most Dangerous to the most violent, all the way to the Most Wanted. More power means more fear. And more control. And there is nothing more dangerous than a man that desires power. And I want it all.” The Realest has put Bandido on notice, but will he take The Outlaw down? Or will he be just another name that has tried and failed?
Backstage interview with #Brodido.
Renee is with The Most Wanted and the King of Death as she brings up Swerve calling Bandido out. What is his reaction to Swerve? Bandido says Swerve is right, Bandido IS the Most Wanted! And if Swerve wants him, he’s easy to find. Brody says Bandido’s got this. But Swerve, it is one thing to mess with Brody. But if you mess with his friends, there will be Hell to pay. Brodido is locked ‘n’ loaded, but will Swerve’s House have just the arsenal for this shootout?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Kevin Knight!
The Relentless One is indeed being a fighting champion, having brutal battles with Tommaso Ciampa and Brody King.

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
It was certainly fast ‘n’ furious, and Sting is here to celebrate with his former protege! The show is switching from Dynamite to Collision, but will nothing stop Darby from being THE AEW World Champion?
Collision begins as…
Sting helps Darby to his feet, but also helps Knight to his feet. Sting raises Darby’s hand in victory, but also raises Knight’s hand to show further respect. The two champs shake hands for that same reason, and both men move on. At least, Knight odes, as MJF makes his way out here! The fans are torn as The Scumbag steps on Darby’s moment, mic in hand. MJF has them cut his music, and he says, “I don’t know what’s worse: The fact that I have to be in the Carolinas, or the fact that this reign of terror of yours is still continuing. Listen to me, Darby, nobody wants to see you with that world title anymore, okay, bud?”
The fans boo but MJF says no one asked them, shut up! Enough is enough, this has been cute, it’s been fun, but it’s time to give MJF the rematch he’s owed, okay? Rematch time! The fans chant at MJF that he messed up, and Darby tells MJF that he’s already said no. If MJF wants the rematch, MJF has to put something on the line. MJF says alright, if Darby wants to barter with him, tell you what? MJF will put his scarf on the line, it’s a beautiful scarf. Darby says no, so MJF says he can’t even believe he’s saying this. How about the Dynamite Diamond Ring? Say yes! Darby says no. MJF is starting to get pissed off, okay?
MJF says everybody loves money, so if Darby gives him the rematch, MJF will give him ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Darby says you’re talking to a guy who used to be homeless living under a bridge, MJF’s money is no good here. MJF says okay, you troll, then what do you want?! Everyone’s got a price so what does Darby want!? Darby says he wants something MJF holds most dear in this life. Something MJF is so desperate to keep that he’s willing to fly 15 hours to Turkey to get it sewed onto his skull! Darby is talking about MJF’s hair! “Listen, you most vain POS I’ve ever met, I’m talking about your damn hair!!”
MJF says be reasonable, but the fans already chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” MJF says be reasonable, but Darby says next week, they’ll do a contract signing: Title VS Hair! And if MJF doesn’t show up, he is never, and Darby means never, getting a championship match! What does MJF say? MJF is flustered, and he drops the mic to run away! The tables have finally been turned on MJF, but how badly does The Devil of AEW want to make a deal with Darby? But then hold on, Okada walks back out here! The International Champion did say he wants more than one belt, and he’s going right up to the ring.
Okada grabs his own mic to tell Darby, “Next Wednesday, ME VS YOU! For your WORLD TITLE!” The fans cheer as Darby tells Okada, “It’s on, b*tch!” The Relentless One VS The Rainmaker, in Asheville, North Carolina, but who will reign supreme?
Backstage interview with Will Ospreay.
Renee is with both the Aerial Assassin and Doc Sampson to get a medical update. What is the verdict? Doc says Ospreay, against medical advice, went to Japan for a match. Luckily, he didn’t make anything worse. Upon his return, Doc checked Ospreay out, and he is actually improving. Whatever training he’s doing, he’ll keep doing it, and to that point, we’ll MRI this week. If that MRI is clear, then Ospreay will be medically cleared for AEW. Renee says that brings us to the obvious: Ospreay training with The Death Riders. What is their relationship? Ospreay says he appreciates The Death Riders letting him in on the training, but he’s not a Death Rider, never will be.
Ospreay just knows there are things he doesn’t wanna do that he knows he has to do to get to where he wants to be. Okay, Renee says they’ll keep everyone updated as news comes in. Will Ospreay be back to 100% soon enough?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey VS AR Fox!
We saw one half of JetSpeed fall short of the top prize in AEW, but now the other half is looking to build their own momentum towards gold. Will Speedball bounce back on behalf of The Jet? Or will Collision soon be The Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and Bailey offers a handshake. Fox accepts it and the fans applaud. They circle as the fans rally up, and they tie up. Fox arm-drags, then blocks Bailey trying to do the same. Bailey slips around, headlocks, but Fox back suplexes. Bailey lands out, but Fox counters to headlock takeover. Bailey headscissors, Fox kips free, but Bailey kicks him away.

The fans applaud as Bailey catches his breath. A standing count starts, Bailey rises first, and he SOBATS! Then AX KICKS! Then KICKS Fox down! Bailey soaks up the cheers before he runs, STANDING SHOOTING STAR FLOP as Fox moves! Fox and Bailey snarl as they rise up, and they start throwing forearms back and forth!

Fox runs up, but Bailey puts him on the apron! Fox ducks the roundhouse to BODY BLOW and DDT! Then a roll through for a TORNADO ANARCHY SUPLEX! Bailey tumbles out of the ring but Fox rallies the fans. Fox takes aim, builds speed, and he FLIES! Direct hit and down goes Bailey at the ramp! Now Bailey clutches a shoulder as Fox evens the score.

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Fox tried to fly like #JetSpeed, but he couldn’t keep up! Will Bailey find his own path to a title back around his waist?
Willow Nightingale speaks.
“It is an honor, on today of all days, to be called the Face of TBS. Turner Broadcasting System. And it’s privilege to wear its championship. And in that way, represent a man who changed the landscape of television, and gave professional wrestling a home. After nine title defenses, I’ve knocked down every challenger, I’ve smashed every comeback, because that is what the legacy of this network, the legacy of Turner, deserves: A fighting champion. So whoever wants next, step up. Because I plan on defending that legacy every single week.” The Babe with the Power has issued the challenge once more, but who will answer the call?
The Death Riders speak, again.
The Bastard mockingly applauds and congratulates Darby Allin, “The indestructible boy who never quits, and still champion. Haha. Very impressive. Now listen up. Don’t you dare forget about me, alright? Your old friend, the perpetual thorn in your side, The Bastard, and right now, I’m gonna be very direct with ya. You and I, Darby, here in AEW, we are 2-1 in singles competition, in my favor! Now by my reckoning, that earns me a shot. So hey, give me a shot. Fight me for your World Heavyweight Championship, Mr. Fighting Champion, because I promise ya, I am one mountain you will never truly conquer. I know that, and you definitely know that.
“Hell, if you can do it, I certainly can! So let’s see how big ya balls are, huh? Why don’t you prove me wrong? Hmm? An invitation, if ya like. Do let me know, won’t ya?” Pac has called Darby out, when and where will these two revisit their feud?
BREAKING NEWS for Fairway to Hell!
The other hour of Collision is happening this Saturday, live from West Palm Beach, Florida, and it just got a whole lot bigger! Jack Perry VS Mark Davis for the National Championship in a rematch from Dynasty, Divine Dominion in non-title tag action, and now THE AEW World Championship, Darby Allin VS PAC! Will Pac make it 3-1 with a golden victory? Or will Darby tie up the career series while staying on top?
Jamie Hayter VS Skye Blue!
Speaking of revisiting some things, The Brawling Birds have been chasing the Triangle of Madness, but only suffering loss for it. Persephone got misted, Alex Windsor is sidelined for the night, but can the Southampton Slugger still hit hard? Or will the Chicago Skye darken the shadows here in North Charleston?
The bell rings, Skye runs up but Jamie sidesteps, then clinches, but Skye elbows free! Jamie blocks a kick, ROCKS Skye, then ELBOWS her at the ropes. Jamie whips, Skye reverses, but Jamie blocks the hip toss! Skye ducks the lariat to roll Jamie up, TWO! Jamie sidesteps again to BOOT Skye down!

But Skye THROWS Jamie by her hair! Skye stomps away in the corner, but she stops as the ref reprimands.

Skye hits barriers, then takes a seat, only for Jamie to stomp her! Jamie climbs up against the railing to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Jamie goes all the way to TEN! The fans applaud, Jamie rolls into the ring, then goes back out. But Skye drop toeholds her into steel steps! The ref reprimands but Skye puts Jamie back in. Cover, TWO! Jamie is tougher than that but Skye is just annoyed. Skye bumps Jamie off buckles, then digs her boots in.
The ref counts, Skye mockingly counts along, then stops at 4. Skye shrugs, acting like she doesn’t understand the problem. Skye then runs in, but Jamie ELBOWS her away! Collision returns to single picture as Jamie then BOOTS Skye away, hops up the corner, and leaps! MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Jamie drags Skye up, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans cheer Jamie as she runs corner to corner, LARIAT in the corner! Then an EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Skye survives but Jamie hauls her up to whip.

Jamie ELBOWS Skye, fires ridge hands, then blocks as hot, SUPER HAYTERADE!! Cover, Jamie wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Skye fell and Jamie kisses the powerful biceps! Thekla & Julia Hart are in the crowd, and they mockingly applaud this one win. Jamie says watch this! HAYTERADE again!! Now Thekla & Julia are mad! But will Jamie make sure the rest of the Triangle gets bent soon enough?
The Don Callis Family speaks.
Don Callis stands with Mark Davis, Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita and the NEW IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, Andrade El Idolo. Callis says he is so happy, because everything is coming up DCF! This Saturday, Fairway to Hell, Davis is gonna win gold for the family in the National Championship when he crushes Jack Perry! Okada has just had another successful title defense! And yes, breaking news that should keep everyone up at night, Okada has staked his claim to the AEW World Championship! Be very afraid! But Konosuke says no, Okada shouldn’t be worried about Darby and the world title.
Okada should be worried about defending his International Championship against Takeshita at Double or Nothing! Okada and Konosuke argue in Japanese, Callis shouts them down, saying on one hand, yes, they’re the best wrestlers in the world, so he agrees. But on the other, this is sounding a little Kenny Omega, where they want this but they also want that. What he’s saying is, Okada is Callis’ handpicked choice for THE world title! But then Andrade asks, “How you know?” El Idolo storms off, Callis says how does he know? Because he’s Don Callis, and he knows everything! And what he knows is that there’s gonna be more gold in the Don Callis Family!
The Real Latino Man and The Alpha are champions themselves, but are they really going to take a backseat to Okada grabbing up more gold for himself? Or can they all put Don Callis’ desires ahead of their own?
Rush VS Manny Lo!
Speaking of someone who wants gold, El Toro Blanco continues to stampede all over AEW, but the titles are still just out of reach. Will he finally prove himself worthy with another violent Collision?
The bell rings and Manny offers a handshake. Rush just THROWS Manny to the corner, CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Rush sits Manny down, fires off forearms and stomps, but the ref counts. Rush stops at 4, then runs corner to corner, BULL’S HORNS!! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
He wasted no time, because he is running out of patience! Rush gets the mic to say, “JUST REMEMBERRR~! When you mess with the bull, YOU GET THE HORNS!” Will every champion in AEW have to watch out before they get run over by El Toro Blanco?
Jack Perry speaks.
The Jurassic Express keeps on cruising, and Jack says when he was a boy, someone told him it’s not about the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. And Mark Davis, you’re just a big, stupid dog. But it was grit, determination, and a willingness to win no matter the cost that made Jack into the National Champion. It doesn’t matter how big, bad, or dangerous you think you are, because Jack already beat Davis once, and he’ll do it again. There is only room for one, and Jack is on top of the mountain. If Davis doesn’t like that, F U! Jack Perry indeed climbed a mountain, but can he stay at the peak?
10 Man Tag: The Young Bucks & The Bang Bang Gang VS The Death Riders & Dogs!
While we got a teaser of this earlier tonight, Matt & Nick Jackson now team with Ace Austin & The Gunns to face off against Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, David Finlay & Clark Connors. Will this the Collision Cowboys help throw quite the Superkick Party? Or will the Swiss Cyborg, Decoder, Dragon Slayer, Savage King & 100 Proof simply stack bodies on their way to the top?
Forget sorting out in the ring, The Death Riders lead the charge as soon as #BangBangBucks are ringside! The bell rings to get this on record as Matt brawls with Yuta, Garcia is after Austin, Finlay CLUBS Nick, Claudio ROCKS Colten, and Connors has Ace. Moxley is on commentary to say high octane start as Yuta & Garcia mug Nick in the corner. They double suplex but Matt makes the save! The Bucks then have Garcia, but Yuta CLUBS Nick! It is 2v2 but Ace joins in! But then Connors joins in! Moxley wonders what we’re getting as Austin and Finlay add on. Moxley says it’s a human centipede suplex situation and he’s uncomfortable.
Claudio UPPERCUTS Colten down on the outside, and The Bang Bang Bucks QUADRUPLE SUPLEX! The fans fire up, and now everyone has someone in a corner! Colten even turns things around on Claudio at the desk! We quite a quintuple rain of fists, all the way to TEN! That’s fifty punches in all, and then the Bang Bang Bucks send the Death Dogs at each other! Yuta, Garcia, Finlay & Connors all stop short, but turn around into QUADRUPLE ATOMIC DROPS! The Death Dogs all stumble around then fall out of the ring, but Claudio is in the ring! But Ace & Austin double kick to double whip! Claudio sends them into each other, but Matt gives Nick the boost for a RANA!
Claudio tumbles out, The Bucks rally the fans, and Matt WRECKS Claudio with a dropkick! Matt holds the ropes down for Nick to FLY! Down goes Claudio, but Yuta DROPKICKS Matt! Ace LARIATS Yuta up and out! Ace builds speed but Garcia trips him up! Ace kicks free, but Garcia blocks the kick! Ace handstands out of the throw, then avoids the sweep to PENALTY KCIK! But Connors APRON SPEARS Ace! The Gunns get Finlay with kicks and a whip, to then DOUBLE QUICK DRAW! Finlay flounders but Yuta is back! He gets a BODY SHOT, LARIAT, and “SUCK IT!” The Gunns wait on Yuta, but Garcia makes the save!
Claudio is back but Colten DECKS him! Connors and Finlay target Austin, he’s a deer in headlights for the DOUBLE SPEAR! Finlay fireman’s carries Colten to HOTSHOT, then Connors hits the JEEP FLIPPER! The fans boo but the Death Riders all stomp away on Colten, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The Dogs regroup as things finally sort out. They drag Austin around while Garcia stomps Ace. Finlay bends Austin’s fingers, then JAMS them into the mat! Colten is sent into barriers while Finlay bumps Austin off buckles. Tag to Claudio and the Death Dogs mug Austin. The Death Dogs then soak up the heat, and Claudio clamps onto Austin with a modified chinlock. Austin endures, reaches out, and he fights up. Austin wrenches free and ROCKS Claudio! Garcia tags in as Claudio keeps Austin back, and Garcia CLOBBERS him! Garcia talks trash on the fans, then puts Austin in a corner. Garcia rains down fists, and goes to nine before putting up his dukes.
Garcia hops down, still no dancing. Garcia drags Austin over, scoops, and SLAMS! Tag to Yuta, he soaks up heat while mockingly applauding Austin. Yuta dares Austin to go to his corner, but then dropkicks him down! Yuta taunts Austin, keeps him from his corner, but Austin ROCKS Yuta! And ROCKS him again! Yuta wobbles, Austin ROCKS Yuta! Yuta CLAWS the eyes, then pushes him over to cover, TWO! Austin toughs it out but Yuta mockingly applauds. Yuta clamps on a chinlock, Austin endures, and the fans rally. Austin fights up, up, and Collision returns to single picture as he hits the BIG back suplex!
The fans rally, Yuta hot tags Claudio, but the Death Dogs all BLAST the Bang Bang Bucks! Then the Cycle of Violence starts up on Austin! ELBOW, UPPERCUT, LARIAT, RAM, UPPERCUT, repeat! Then feed to Claudio for the GIANT SWING! Yuta DROPKICKS Austin out of it, covers, but the Bang Bang Bucks all break it! The Death Dogs throw them back out, and Claudio argues with the ref. Claudio taunts Austin, kicks him around, but Austin rises up. The fans rally as Claudio CHOPS! Austin CHOPS back! Claudio runs up, Austin wrenches to COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up as Austin brings Claudio down!
The fans rally as hard as they can, hot tags to Yuta and Colten! Colt 45 fires off LARIAT after LARIAT, even snap suplexes Garcia! Then he SPLASHES Yuta! Colten keeps moving, Colten Crossover to the NECKBREAKER! Claudio runs up but Colten TOSSES him out! Yuta runs up but Colten ELBOWS then URENAGES! Cover, TWO! Yuta survives, but Colten kicks! “SUCK IT!” But Claudio trips Colten up! Ace runs up and gets a boost to FLY out onto Claudio! Garcia sneaks a tag, Yuta dodges the splash, and now Garcia trips Colten! DRAGON TAMER!! The fans boo but Yuta adds a CURB STOMP!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Colten survives that “Dark Horse” combo! Garcia whips but Colten blocks! Colten whips Garcia to then LARIAT him down! The fans fire up again as both men crawl. Hot tag to Matt! The fans cheer as Matt runs up but Garcia ELBOWS him! But Matt catches Garcia to a NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Polar Express gets going but Garcia slips around! Matt switches, Finlay sneaks a tag before the O’Conner! But Matt catches Finlay, and Connors, DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS BRIDING COVER, TWO!! The fans fire up and Moxley admits the Bucks are always creative and innovative. Charleston knows “This is Awesome!” as Matt stands Finlay up.
Matt ROCKS Finlay, whips him to the corner, but Finlay reverses. Matt goes up and over, and Nick runs up to SHINING WIZARD! GAMANGIRI! LARIAT! Matt fires off on Connors, too, and The Bucks DOUBLE BULLDOG! The fans fire up with The Bucks, and they position The Dogs in the drop zone. The Bucks go up top while the fans cheer again, SWANTON BOMB and MACHO ELBOW! Matt asks if the fans are ready, for the Superkick Party~! SUPERKICK for Connors! SUPERKICK for Finlay! SUPERKICK for Finlay, then SUPERKICK for Connors! Yuta & Garcia run in, but they’re sent into Finlay & Connors!
The Dark Horses are stunned, and they turn around into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Finlay! The fans are thunderous as The Bucks get Finlay, B T E TRIGGER!! Cover, YUTA BREAKS IT! But Ace is in, he KNEES and BOOTS Yuta to fireman’s carry! Ace does a squat to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! But Claudio BOOTS Ace! SUPERKICK for Claudio! Claudio rebounds to DUOBLE LARIAT! But 3:10 TO YUMA for Claudio! Garcia DUMPS Austin out, SHOTGUNS Colten, then ducks a kick! DOUBLE LARITS for Garcia and Nick! DOULE LARIATS for Austin and Connors! DOUBLE LARIATS for Ace and Yuta!
Finlay runs, but DOUBLE LARIATS for him and Matt! DOUBLE LARIATS for Colten and Claudio! They stay up, roar, and go again! DOUBLE LARIATS and they’re down after all! The fans are thunderous as all ten men are down around ringside! The fans cheer “A E DUB!” for making this Collision main event THE main event of the night. Hot tags to Ace and Yuta and they fire off forearms back and forth! Ace fires shot after shot, but Yuta CLAWS eyes! Yuta runs, but into a DROPKICK! Yuta says I’ll Be Back, GERMAN SUPELX! Ace lands out! The Bucks join in, TRIPLE SUPERKICKS! Then a DOUBLE DIVE onto The Dogs! Ace hits THE FOLD!! Cover, Bang Bang Bucks win!!
Winners: The Young Bucks & The Bang Bang Gang, by pinfall
Moxley admits, that’s a great finishing move. Wrestling on TBS, what better way to end the night? But with this huge win for The Bucks and the Bang Bang Gang, will nothing stop these teams from taking back championship gold?
My Thoughts:
An awesome three hour block for AEW, which they’ve all but been doing lately anyway. But in the end, they still booked this as just a Dynamite followed by a Collision, not as one giant show. Though, with how they handled that very booking, it was fine for Darby VS Knight to be the Dynamite main event that then helped segue into filler Collision. The world title scene is getting full up mostly because everyone knows Darby is willing to take on anyone and everyone, other than MJF. But while I thought Darby was going to ask MJF to do the same deal as Cody and Hangman, he gives us the next best thing: Title VS Hair, and if MJF refuses, THEN he ends up like Cody and Hangman, aka banned from challenging for this title (at least while Darby has it, I presume).
Okada wanting the world title is kind of like, “About time!” I don’t see Darby losing on Dynamite if he’s also giving MJF his opportunity, but this all helps feed the Don Callis Family dysfunction. Andrade is slowly turning against Callis given Callis outright said Okada is his top pick for the top title. Andrade joining Konosuke’s side in this Callis Family Civil War would certainly be a great move given the absence of Kyle Fletcher choosing between #Protoshita and #Protokada. Pac calling out Darby was good stuff, and that match for “Fairway to Hell” will be great, but again, Darby will win that to then win against Okada and face MJF at Double or Nothing.
Rush crushed his opponent much faster than expected, he should definitely be challenging someone on the other side of Double or Nothing. Bailey VS Fox was really good, but Bailey should also be challenging for something after the PPV. An obvious answer is Knight VS Bailey just to see that match, but maybe LFI can have a serious feud with JetSpeed as part of a TNT Championship build. Great Double Jeopardy match, but they really just threw people out there for the fun of it. This and the wild 10 Man Tag to close the night all works to keep the tag and trios divisions strong while there’s this odd traffic jam while FTR VS C&C finally sorts out.
Jericho and Ricochet turning their rematch into a Stadium Stampede is pretty wild, I thought we were getting Mimosa Mayhem. But maybe Jericho can help Hurt Syndicate find those new members they are looking for through finding two more men to fight in that 5v5. Not sure who The Demand will get as their additional members, but it’d be kinda funny if they were the ones coming up empty because no one wants to deal with Ricochet’s ego. Either way, I would think Jericho gets the win through this, and then we can have Jericho VS Ricochet 1v1 one last time at All In: London. Very good promo from Swerve, very good response from Brodido, but not even sure the point of the feud other than a dream match to hold both guys over before bigger things.
Hilarious and great promo from Mina & Harley, great match from them and #Shidalander, but I figured Shida & Stat were winning that. They’re gonna stay strong up until the moment Shida finally turns on Stat. Very good match from Jamie VS Skye, and good win for Jamie, but hopefully Alex Windsor isn’t hurt too badly. Double or Nothing really should be some kind of Triple Threat to fit both the name and the story, so hopefully Windsor is back in time for the PPV. And great stuff with Will Ospreay, The Death Riders, and The Opps. Ospreay said he’s not joining Death Riders, he’s just getting their help. But he didn’t even mention Joe & The Opps, so I think Ospreay gets lumped in with Death Riders in the inevitable feud. Either way, Ospreay VS Joe will be amazing.
My Score: 9.1/10
