PLAY BY PLAY

AEW shares footage from after Double or Nothing.

It was Sunday in Queens, New York that Renee Paquette caught up with Will Ospreay. She brings up his victory over Samoa Joe in the Owen Hart Cup, how is he feeling? He’s buzzing! His neck feels good, no pain in his arms, he’s over the moon and through to the next round. He’s gotta just ice up, if that’s alright. Renee moves on, and Ospreay enters the trainer’s room, and surprise! Kenny Omega’s getting ice already. Ospreay and Kenny say hey, Kenny lets Ospreay have the ice, and they both feel good after their big wins tonight. Kenny asks if Ospreay can talk with him real quick. Sure, what about?

Well… Just to address the elephant in the room, The Death Riders? Kenny is no stranger to them, they’ve been making themselves known since day one, and Kenny is just worried Ospreay can’t trust those guys. What they do, they say they will do. When they wanted to hurt Kenny, they hurt him. When they wanted to hurt Ospreay, they broke his neck. Ospreay had Kenny by his side, Kenny would do anything for him. To help Ospreay realize his dream of becoming world champion, Kenny would do that for Ospreay. Why didn’t Ospreay come to Kenny? Ospreay says yeah, maybe if Kenny showed up. With all due respect, Kenny isn’t always here.

Kenny says he can’t be here every week, and Ospreay asks why not. Isn’t this the best Kenny has ever felt? Then why isn’t he here? Kenny says he lost his chance, and he has his own way of going about things. He can’t just bounce back like he used to. It isn’t just a physical thing, it’s emotional, mental. It’s more than what you think it is. Kenny isn’t the guy he once was, Ospreay isn’t the guy he once was. But if they stick together, they can do crazy, amazing things. Again, Kenny gets the appeal to The Death Riders, they’re serious, they get the job done. Kenny just wants Ospreay to be careful as a friend. But then in steps Jon Moxley.

Moxley says that’s good advice. They all have their skeletons, don’t they? Moxley says the truck’s waiting outside. Moxley heads out, Kenny says he’ll leave Ospreay to the neck bridges and whatever else the Death Riders do. But any time, Ospreay can call Kenny. Ospreay tells Kenny not to give up on the world title. Kenny says yeah, him, too. Kenny leaves, and Ospreay has a lot to think about. Is he a Death Rider? Is he All Elite? Or is he something more?

Kevin Knight is here!

And right away, Philadelphia boos The Jet for his Benedict Arnold act on Sunday. Knight goes to the ring, he grabs a mic, but the fans already chant, “F YOU, KEVIN!” Knight says he shouldn’t expect anything less from these meatheads here. Ever since Sunday, The Jet has heard one word and one word only, and that’s “Why?” Well, he’s hearing STFU right now, but Knight says show the TNT Champion some respect! The fans boo but Knight says they’re asking him why he did what he did on Sunday. Knight told Darby Allin not to let The Jet down, to not let the people down, and what’d he do? Darby blew it!

The fans still tell Knight off but Knight says Darby blew it, just like the 76ers did against The Knicks! The fans boo that, but Knight says he’s on their side! Darby let us all down! So Knight decided he wasn’t gonna trust the process. He decided to take matters into his own hands, and did what he had to do. Let’s keep it a buck, Philly. Who was the last person MJF was looking up at? Who humbled MJF? Kevin Knight! It should’ve been Knight in the main event on Sunday. Instead, he was watching from the sidelines. Does Knight look like a bench player? The fans cheer “YES! YES! YES!” Knight asks, “Am I not a highlight each and every time I step into this ring?”

The fans boo but Knight says he took it upon himself. He isn’t here to take part, he is taking over this whole damn company! The fans boo more, but Knight says he trusted Darby. When Knight first got in the business, Darby told him not to waste any time. Darby said not to waste time, so when Knight saw Darby couldn’t get the job done, Knight went out there and did not waste time leaving Darby in a pool of his own blood with The Jet standing over on top of him. But wait, here comes Speedball! The fans cheer Mike Bailey, and Bailey is clearly not happy with Knight! Bailey hears what Knight is saying, but he knows Knight.

Bailey knows how ambitious Knight is, and that is his best and worst quality. The reason they work as a team is because they both wanna be the best. “But Kevin… You’re impatient, you get ahead of yourself, and you make mistakes. And what you did to Darby Allin at Double or Nothing, that was a mistake.” The fans cheer that! Bailey says they can fix this. If Knight apologizes and owns up what he did, they can make it right. Bailey holds out his hand, Knight considers it, and fans chant “Say You’re Sorry!” Knight reaches out, but slips right past Bailey! The fans boo, but then Knight CLOBBERS Bailey! The fans boo even more now!

Knight seems conflicted like he was on Sunday, but the fans all agree he’s an A-hole! But then Knight drags Bailey up, cliches, and hits ROCK BOTTOM! Knight tells the fans to shove it, and he leaves Bailey down and out. RIP JetSpeed, but is Knight going to hit rock bottom without his friends to hold him up?

Backstage interview with The Demand.

Renee Paquette is with Ricochet & The Gates of Agony, and brings up that Ricochet has beaten Jericho twice, using the “Ricosault” each time. But on Sunday in Stadium Stampede, it was Jericho who got the pin with the Lionsault. Is Jericho the one with momentum going into tonight’s match where no one else is allowed ringside? Ricochet says no, no, no, Renee, he is not concerned with Jericho. Jericho got lucky at Double or Nothing. And Jericho didn’t just win with a Lionsault, they won because Bishop Kaun got mugged 7v1. Now tonight, suddenly we’re banning everyone from ringside, meaning Ricochet’s men can’t come to the ring? Toa Liona says this is a travesty!

But Ricochet says it’ll be okay. The more he thinks about it, the more he sees that it isn’t just that he has his guys ringside, it’s that Jericho doesn’t have six other men to save his ass when Ricochet has him beat! And like Renee said, Ricochet’s already pinned Jericho twice now, something Jericho doesn’t have on Ricochet, and never, eeeeever will! Especially with that weak-ass Lionsault. Tonight, Jericho finds out what everyone already knows: Ricochet is #OuttaThisWorld! AHA~! The One & Only will be the only person fighting Jericho tonight, but will that mean he’s the only one losing to Jericho tonight?

Everyone Banned from Ringside: Chris Jericho VS Ricochet!

The bell rings and the fans taunt Ricochet with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Jericho encourages it to get louder, but then Ricochet DROPKICKS Jericho down! The fans boo but Ricochet runs up in the corner to DROPKICK again! Ricochet KICKS and CHOPS Jericho on repeat, then he TOSSES Jericho out. Ricochet PLANCHAS and down goes Jericho! Ricochet hurries to RAM Jericho into railing, RAM him again, then puts him in the ring. The fans taunt “BAL~DY!” but Ricochet springboards in for a FLYING LARIAT! Then a RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Jericho survives but Ricochet stalks him to ropes.

Ricochet CHOPS Jericho, kicks the bad leg, then KICKS the leg again. Ricochet puts the leg in ropes, KICKS it, but stops as the ref reprimands. The fans boo Ricochet but he soaks up the heat. Ricochet fires hands on Jericho, CHOPS him again, then ROCKS Jericho with a forearm. Ricochet soaks up more heat, then runs up on Jericho to RAM him! Ricochet goes outside, slingshots, but Jericho DECKS him! The fans cheer as Jericho goes up, up, and gives a thumbs up before the SUPER CROSSBODY! Down goes Ricochet and the fans fire up again! Jericho clears the desk, but Ricochet CLAWS eyes! Ricochet then GOURD BUSTERS Jericho on the desk!

Jericho clutches his bad leg, but Ricochet goes up after him. The fans boo as Ricochet reels Jericho in, but Jericho stops the suplex! Jericho trips Ricochet for a WALLS OF JERICHO on the desk! The ref reprimands but Jericho won’t let go! The ring count starts as Ricochet claws at the desk. Jericho lets Ricochet go, then he hops down to go back to the ring. Ricochet flops to the floor, Jericho fires the fans up more, then Jericho goes to the apron. Jericho drags Ricochet up, but Ricochet fires body shots! Ricochet ROUNDHOUSES, then KICKS Jericho in the back and KICKS him in the leg! Then Ricochet hops down to SWEEP the legs!

The fans boo but Ricochet just RAMS Jericho into steel steps, knees first! Jericho takes a tumble, Ricochet lounges on the steel steps, and the fans boo as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Jericho clutches the leg but Ricochet hobbles his way over. Ricochet stomps Jericho, drags him up, and CHOPS him against railing. Ricochet KICKS the bad leg, Jericho CHOPS in return! And CHOPS again! Ricochet pulls hair to THROW Jericho down, then he follows Jericho into the ring. Ricochet rains down fists, soaks up heat from Philly, then drags Jericho up into a corner. Ricochet digs a knee into Jericho’s back but the ref has him stop. Ricochet lets off, he CLUBS and KICKS Jericho, but Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS! Ricochet DROPKICKS the leg out! Ricochet then digs his knee into Jericho’s neck, but backs off as the ref counts.

Ricochet soaks up more heat before he goes back to Jericho. Ricochet drags Jericho up, scoops him, and SLAMS him! Ricochet sets up to ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE!! Jericho is tougher than that, but Ricochet brings him up. Jericho CHOPS, but Ricochet CLAWS his eyes! Ricochet then puts Jericho on the ropes, stands on him and CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet stops at 4, and he throws up the three for Demand. But Jericho CHOSP! And CHOPS! Jericho runs, but into a JUMP KNEE! Ricochet follows Jericho out to the apron, stomps away again, and he fireman’s carries while Dynamite returns to single picture.

Jericho fights with elbows and slips down, to then fireman’s carry Ricochet! Ricochet flails, but Jericho hits an APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Jericho and Ricochet slowly rise up, and Jericho rolls into the ring. Ricochet follows, they meet at center, and Jericho CHOPS! Ricochet fires a forearm, but Jericho CHOPS again! The CHOPS go back and forth, then they stand to fire more forearms! And more CHOPS! The fans cheer Jericho and shout “BALD!” at Ricochet as the shots keep going! Jericho whips, Ricochet reverses, but Jericho RUNS Ricochet over!

Jericho runs, RUNS Ricochet over again, then goes for a third, only to be sent outside! But Jericho is right up top, AX HANDLE! Down goes Ricochet and the fans fire up! Jericho runs in and BULLDOGS! The fans fire up and Jericho takes his shot, LINO- NO, Ricochet jumps up, so Jericho shifts to a BACK ELBOW! Jericho then suplexes for a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet is tougher than that, but Jericho stays focused. Ricochet stands, but then he bails out before Jericho can run up! The fans boo but Jericho just drags Ricochet up from the apron! But Ricochet drags Jericho out hard! Jericho gets back up but Ricochet Triangle Jump DROPKICKS!

Ricochet uses another Jericho move there, and then he DIVES to knock Jericho down! Ricochet rolls in and wants a count out win! Jericho manages to stand at 5 of 10, he hobbles back to the ring, but that leg is really bothering him, Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS to knock Jericho back down! And then he reels Jericho in, BRAINBUSTER on the floor! Ricochet again leaves Jericho behind for the count to handle him. Jericho rises at 5 of 10, crawls his way over at 7, and he’s back in at 9! Ricochet springboards to PHOENIX SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives and Ricochet is beside himself! Ricochet huffs ‘n’ puffs but the fans rally up for Jericho.

Jericho rises up slowly, but Ricochet locks ‘n’ loads! SPIRIT- NO, Jericho ducks! And he trips Ricochet to have the legs! The fans fire up, WALLS OF JERICHO! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Jericho drags him back to center! Ricochet CLUBS at the bad leg! Ricochet turns, slips through, and he CLUBS the leg even more! Then he BOOTS Jericho away! The fans boo but Jericho hurries to his feet. Ricochet stands, Jericho LARIATS! Jericho runs in again, but Ricochet rolls Jericho up, TWO! Ricochet stumbles into the ref, Jericho runs up, but Ricochet dodge! Jericho stops short of clobbering the ref!

Ricochet LOW BLOWS Jericho behind the ref’s back!! The fans boo but Ricochet just hits the “RICOSAULT!” Cover, TWO?!? Ricochet is shocked and the fans are thunderous as Jericho survives! Ricochet drags Jericho to a drop zone, goes up top, and he aims for the 630 FLOP!! Jericho avoids the signature senton, and hits a CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and Jericho is stunned! Jericho dares Ricochet to get up as he loads up his elbow. “This is Awesome!” as Jericho hits JUDAS EFFECT!! But that’s not all for Jericho! He fires the fans up as he goes to ropes, LIONSAULT!! Cover, Jericho wins!

Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall

With no Gates of Agony to stand in the way, The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla pulls off the victory! But CIAMPA ATTACKS?!? The Psycho Killer stomps away on Jericho, then takes off his shirt just to CHOKE Jericho with it! The ref reprimands but Ciampa just rains down fists! The fans boo, but Ciampa brings down the kneepad! Jericho sits up, into the PSYCHO KNEE!! Ciampa does the Jericho cocky cover as he stands on Jericho’s chest, will Jericho see he jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire?

Andrade El Idolo speaks.

“Now that that stupid Stadium Stampede is over, I can focus on winning the world title. And beating that stupid un petito, MJF… MJF, do you think you are better than El Rrrrreal Latino Man? How you know?” Andrade smiles ear to ear, but will El Idolo get his shot at the Devil of AEW?

Fatal 4 Way: Rush VS Brian Cage VS Orange Cassidy VS Lio Rush!

El Toro Blanco wanted his shot at the AEW World Champion, but that was when Darby Allin was the fighting champion. We all know MJF is the exact opposite, so Rush’s opportunity will have to wait. Will Rush’s wrath be satisfied taking on The Machine, Freshly Squeezed and The Problem Child? Or will someone else prove they’re worthy of those same opportunities?

The bell rings, and even Cassidy isn’t sure what to make of Lio right now. Cage CLOBBERS Lio, Rush CLOBBERS Cassidy, and they each send Lio and Cassidy out. The fans rally up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Rush and Cage get face to face. Cage ROCKS Rush, Rush ROCKS Cage, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Cage SOBATS, KICKS, then runs to tilt-o-whirl, but not the smoothest. Cage still manages to throw Rush, then drags him onto ropes. Cage runs, but Rush gets up to DECK Cage! But Cage is right up to LARIAT! But then Rush is right up, and he dodges Cage to SNAP GERMAN! Cage rises, and he SAMOAN DROPS Rush!

The fans fire up as both men are down, and then Cassidy and Lio both hurry to cover! It’s stereo covers, ONE!! Both Cage and Rush have a lot left to give, and then Lio grins with that black goo drooling out! Cassidy is again freaked out, and he “unleashes” kicks! The fans fire up as Cassidy winds up, but Lio runs! And redirects! And drops down to freak Cassidy out again! Lio whips, Cassidy reverses, but Lio sunset flips! Cassidy stays up, puts his hands up, and then hands in his pockets! The fans cheer, but Lio kips up! Lio shoves Cassidy away, but Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges to leap over and SHOTGUN! Cassidy kips up and the fans fire up again!

Cassidy stomps around and the fans rally up. Cassidy builds speed, but he has to stop as Lio slides back inside! Lio then HANDSPRING KICKS Cassidy down! Cage is back, he reels Lio in, puts one out, POWER- NO, Lio fires hands and RANAS free! Cage tumbles out, Lio runs up, HANDSPRING KICK! Lio nods, talks to himself, and he runs around like a gremlin! DIVE, but Cage catches him! And pops him up, only for Cassidy to DIVE! Down go Cage and Lio! The fans fire up for Cassidy, but now Rush fakes Cassidy out to tranquilo! The fans cheer, then Rush bails out so Cassidy can’t catch him off guard, while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Cassidy and Rush watch each other from across the way, and Rush talks some trash. Cassidy rolls into the ring, Rush follows, and Cassidy copies tranquilo! Rush DECKS him for it! Cassidy sputters on the mat but Rush kicks and stomps him around. Rush stomps away in a corner, then goes corner to corner while Lio and Cage brawl on the outside. Rush fakes the dropkick to then BOOT Cassidy! Rush soaks up heat, rolls back, and he tranquilos again. Cage whips Lio hard into railing! Rush stands Cassidy up to fire body shots, then he whips corner to corner. Cassidy goes up, out, and then ducks a shot to SMACK Rush off buckles! Rush just shrugs it off!

Cassidy ducks another shot to SMACK Rush off buckles again! Still no effect! Cage meanwhile scoops Lio to carry him around. Cassidy dribbles Rush off buckles and those finally affect him! Meanwhile, Lio slips free and POSTS Cage! Cassidy goes up, but Rush is right up to trip Cassidy up! Cassidy lands on his oranges, then Rush climbs up. Lio joins in and goes after Rush! Rush kicks Lio away, then runs in, only for Lio to roll up, kip up, and DREAMCAST KICK! Lio then goes after Cassidy on the top rope, only for Cassidy to shove him down! Cassidy adjusts position, but Lio anchors a foot! Then Cage joins in and Electric Chair Lifts Lio!

Lio CLAWS at Cage, drops down, and shoves Cage into Cassidy! Another bad landing on the fruit o’ the loom, then Cage DISCUS LARIATS Lio! Cage goes up, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Cage hoists Cassidy up. Cassidy fires hands, then winds up to DECK Cage! The fans cheer as Cassidy tries again, LAZY ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Cage is tougher than that but Cassidy goes to the apron. Cage storms up, but Cassidy goes for buckles! Cage blocks to GAMANGIRI, then he goes up to deadlift SUPERPLEX! Cover, Rush DROPKICKS it apart! Rush stomps away on Cage, then “takes his head” to kick it into the crowd!

The fans are torn but Rush says the kick is good. But Cage wrenches and KNEES Rush! Then Cage suplexes for a JACKHAMMER! Cover, but Lio stomps it! Cage swings, Lio ducks to fire off fast hands! Lio runs, but Cage catches the crossbody! Cage pops Lio up, then hits a FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO! Lio survives on his own and the fans fire up again. Cage hauls Lio up, reels him in, but has to ditch that as he sees Cassidy up top! Cassidy CROSSBODIES, but Cage makes it a suplex! But then Cassidy makes it STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! Tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage bails out but Cassidy builds speed to DIVE! TORNADO DDT to the floor!

The fans fire up again, but now Rocky Romero & Lance Archer are here! The fans boo as the Don Callis Family backs up one of their own. Cassidy runs up, ORANGE- NO! Archer blocks the punch, then laughs at Cassidy. But Cassidy still BOOTS Rocky! Then Cassidy dodges Archer’s lariat to ORANGE PUNCH! But then someone DECKS Cassidy! Jake Doyle is back!! But then Roderick Strong runs out here and CLOBBERS Doyle! Kyle O’Reilly is not far behind, and now Conglomeration brawls with Don Callis Family! Archer hauls Cassidy away so he can’t be a factor in the match! The fans boo, but then Lio and Rush look to each other.

The fans fire up for Lio as it is now 1v1 for him and Rush. They circle, Rush KNEES low, then whips, but into RUSH HOUR! Lio roars, but Rush is up! Rush swings, Lio dodges, redirects, then SPEARS!! Cover, TWO!! Rush survives, but Lio hurries to a corner! Lio goes up, up, and aims, FINAL- NO, Lio has to roll through as Rush dodges. Rush DECKS Lio, then drag shim out to THROW into barriers! Rush then runs and THROWS Lio into more barriers! Rush goes looking, and he has the green camera cable! Rush CHOKES Lio, and he can do that because this is still a Fatal 4, meaning No Disqualifications!

Rush THROWS Lio into railing, DRIBBLES him off the side, then stomps away! The ref reprimands and says get this in the ring! Rush puts Lio in the ring, then in a corner. Rush stomps away on Lio, then he backs up. “When you mess with the bull…” BULL’S HORNS!! Cover, Rush wins!

Winner: Rush, by pinfall

A big win, a big payday, but will there be big opportunities for Rush in the near future? Or must he continue to stampede through the roster until there is no one left but the world champion?

PROGRAMMING NOTE!

Just because AEW has THREE HOURS tonight, don’t think Collision is taking a night off! We still get two hours of action on Saturday night, live in Huntsville, Alabama!

Backstage interview with MJF.

Renee is with The Scumbag AEW World Champion, who drags the old belt on the ground while he brings back his #TripleB. Renee says this is his third reign, but then Knight interrupts! Knight says, “What up, Champ?” MJF says why hello, Kevin Knight, The Jet. But MJF is glad Knight is here, MJF wanted to find Knight to thank him for what he did to Darby on Sunday. MJF knows deep down, Knight wanted to show respect to the biggest draw in this entire company. And MJF wants Knight to know, that meant a lot to him, Knight has a bright future. See you around. Knight stops MJF from leaving and says hold on.

Don’t get it twisted, Knight didn’t do that for MJF. Knight did that because Darby blew the opportunity that should’ve gone to The Jet. And one day, MJF, Knight will beat you for THE AEW World Championship. MJF says it’s good to have goals, Kev. See you around. MJF leaves after all, but then Knight turns around to see Kyle Fletcher! The Protostar says, “Nice belt you got there, Kev.” Knight says he knows, it’s nice and shiny. But then in steps Don Callis. He says so much young athleticism in one place. Is the territory safe? Callis says Knight is looking good. What’s he calling himself? #Jet2Belts? Well, if he’s serious about that, Knight knows who to talk to.

Callis has Kyle leave it at this, for now. Knight has his eye on the top prize, but does he need to have his head on a swivel when it comes to the prize he has?

Backstage interview with The Brawling Birds.

Renee is now with Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter, and notes the unfortunate loss for Jamie at Double or Nothing. Jamie says yeah, yeah, water off a duck’s back and all that. But she did get to take Thekla’s head clean off. Not to sound like broken record, but she will take that title. Renee says then to Alex, she was set for a Double or Nothing match with Willow Nightingale in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. However, Willow has had to withdraw do to injury. Alex says honestly, her heart goes out to Willow. But hey, when she’s feeling fine and dandy again, Alex is ready to throw down. Renee points out that now, Alex is facing a wild card. How you prepare for that?

Prepare? Alex says she has been preparing for something like this her entire career. When she started in England, all she wanted to be was the best. And that meant getting the piss kicked outta her week in, week out, all over the world, until she figured out how to do it better. And that is why she is here now. She is on a path to prove that when it comes to being one of the best in the world, Alex Windsor IS part of the conversation. Jamie nods, and Alex says her path ends where it all started: at home. Moreso than that, it is a path she is not walking alone. Her darling Billy is chasing his own Wembley Dream, just like her.

So, Miss Wild Card, you better have some skin the game, mate! Cuz her whole heart is on the line! Jamie says one way or another, The Birds are gonna come out on top! Damn right! Jamie & Alex are ready to fly high, but will championship glory really be for the Birds?

Justin Roberts introduces the THREE-TIME AEW World Champion: MJF!

The fans might boo, but there are balloons all over the ring, including some in the shape of the number 3. MJF is carried out on a palisade, then he chucks the old belt aside again as he wears Triple B around his waist. MJF carefully steps down from the platform, gets his pyro, then drags Darby’s belt on the ground as he goes down the ramp and to the ring. And without much ceremony, MJF drops the old belt into the trash can before he gets a mic. The fans boo, but MJF says if he wanted to hear a bunch of people from Philly make noise, he would’ve made the mistake of being born here. Pipe down a bit, thanks.

But ladies and gentlemen, finally, #BigHebrew has Triple B back! The fans keep booing, but MJF says for those who are wondering where Darby Allin is, he is currently hanging his head in shame. Because for a third time, MJF beat Darby with a move as simple and basic as a headlock takeover. The fans boo again, but MJF says more importantly, did he say third time? “Folks, professional wrestling has been around since the 1800s. And from then until now, in the history of this sport, in major promotions, only eight men have ever been a three-time world champion by 30 years of age. They’re gonna be writing about me in the history books!

“They’re gonna be talking about me until the sun explodes. I really hope you dumb, ignorant, worthless shmucks are even remotely cognizant of how fortunate you are. of how truly, truly lucky you are to get to witness the greatness that is me in real time.” The fans boo more, but MJF says they are living in the greatest era imaginable, because it is all about him! MJF is a THREE-TIME, THREE-TIME, THREE-TIME Champion of the Wooooorld~! The best wrestler in the world, the most complete pro-wrestler in the world, number one, ain’t nobody close, a generational talent! So now, here’s the part where the people need to do the right thing, which he knows is hard for Philly…

But MJF wants every single person watching at home, every single person in this Podunk arena, to get down on their hands ‘n’ knees and BOW before the Greatest Of All Time! MJF’s banner drops, and now it reads “3X World Champion.” But then “Reach for the sky, boy!” MARK BRISCOE is here! The fans fire up as the Sussex County Chicken storms his way to the ring. And he YANKS the banner down! The fans cheer, MJF is furious, and he has them cut the music! Who does Briscoe think he is?! Briscoe steps into the ring, the fans cheer him on, and MJF scowls as Briscoe grabs a mic.

“Friedman! Looking at you here standing in this city, man, you’re like a stranger in a strange place. What I’m saying is you don’t fit in here, Max. It’s kinda like if a penguin was wandering through the desert, and I’m not talking about one of those exotic, South American beach penguins.” MJF asks what the heck does that mean. Briscoe says they are in PHILLY! The fans cheer, and even chant for “E C DUB! E C DUB!” MJF says that’s a dead company. Briscoe says they’re here where the people are hard-nosed, grinders, some of the toughest human beings, and they live right here! The fans cheer that, too!

Briscoe says MJF sticks out like a sore thumb, cuz tough he is not! MJF is so self-absorbed, he just knows the world should be his. He tells us that we’re not on his level, but he believes it that he is above us all. MJF tells us that he’s better than us and we know it, but he believes it with all his heart. Well, Max, let Briscoe remind you, it was not too very long ago that Briscoe pinned MJF’s sorry ass, 1-2-3, right in the middle of this ring! The fans cheer that, too! Briscoe says therefore, let him not beat around the bush. He wants his title shot, Max! Now, is MJF gonna continue to be a soft little b*tch!? Or is he gonna #ManUp!

The fans chant “MAN UP! MAN UP!” But MJF says no. And he wants Briscoe to know something. This isn’t because Briscoe despicably pulled down the beautiful, brand new banner. No, no, this is no because unlike everyone else in the company, MJF is the only one who understands AEW isn’t just a sport, it’s a business. And optically, it is bad enough that an emo freak like Darby even sniffed the AEW World Championship. And people think it is good that MARK BRISCOE gets a shot? It’s not a good idea. If Briscoe got a shot, it’d put AEW outta business. MJF is doing Briscoe a favor here.

There are levels to this, and sadly, you white trash hillbilly redneck, you are nowhere near the level of The Devil. MJF goes to leave, but RUSH makes his entrance! We just saw El Toro Blanco win that Fatal 4 Way, and he looks MJF up and down. “You aren’t a fighting champion. Cabron, it’s funny. It’s too funny! That he’s a chicken farmer, but you? You’re a chicken sh*t!” MJF is upset but the fans chant it right back at him! Rush says he almost beat MJF before. Cabron, Rush went so far as to give up his mask for a shot at the title! Because when you mess with The Bull, you get the HORRRRNS! MJF frowns as the fans cheer Rush on.

MJF says yeah, okay, Rush is funny saying MJF is chicken sh*t, and that he’s so cool for being bilingual. MJF will explain something to Rush. Rush is not the only guy who can speak other languages. Listen up, senor! Yeah, that’s right! Shut up! MJF says while Rush is being rude, MJF agrees. If anyone here has earned a shot, it’s Rush. And from a business standpoint, Rush has good hair, a good look, has been winning match after match, even has a cute little catchphrase that the dumb shmucks like. And Rush is definitely more marketable than that ugly POS in the ring. So Rush, do you wanna wrestle MJF here in Philly for the title?

The fans like where this is going! Rush is definitely fired up, but MJF say psych! Escucha, perro. But next week, Rush VS MJF for the world title. And Rush better come prepared, because the Bull is about to lock horns with the Devil! MJF weasels out of one title shot, accepts another, but he does it on his terms. Is he only delaying the inevitable when it comes to Rush’s rampage? Or can MJF wrangle El Toro Blanco?

The Jurassic Express is moving.

Jack Perry tells Mark Davis, “We’ve had our battles. I beat you, and you beat me. But the stakes now are higher than they’ve ever been. Because while the National Tour might be over, this might just be the beginning of Jack Perry’s World Championship Tour! And if you don’t like that, then F YOU!” Whoa, sudden stop. Luchasaurus points outside. Jack says no, he has a match! They gotta go! Luchasaurus insists, and Jack exits the bus. Time for a Rocky Balboa montage! Drink the eggs, run up the steps, run through the streets, all that! But will Jungle Jack’s Eye of the Tiger be enough to tear down Dunkzilla once more? Or will this be more like Rocky 1?

2026 Owen Hart Memorial Men’s Tournament: Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King!

The Swiss Cyborg and The King of Death have met before, with absolute classics in the Continental Classic. But with this being single elimination, one wrong move could cost you The Cup!

Brody turns things around, but Claudio turns them back around, and they end up in a corner. The ref counts, the two let go slowly, but then Claudio UPPERCUTS!

Brody ROCKS and CHPOS, the forearms fly again, and the ring count starts again. Brody makes Claudio take a seat, CHOPS him, then gets space as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The forearms fly, but then Brody CHOPS! Claudio UPPERCUTS! Brody CHOPS! Claudio CHIPS! The forearms return, go back and forth harder and harder, but the count is 8!

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (advances in the tournament)

That was a battle of big meaty men slapping meat, but Brody proved he was the meatiest and the mightiest! But perhaps bigger than that, he will get his shot at Swerve! Will Brody get his revenge on The Realest? Or will the Most Dangerous Man in AEW be that much closer to the AEW World Championship?

Adam Copeland is here!

Philly fires up for The Rated R Superstar and sing along with Metalingus as he makes his entrance, complete with pyro. And of course, he is joined by Captain Charisma, because this team that reeks of awesomeness are the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The fans chant “You Deserve It!” and Christian Cage tells Philadelphia to sit down and shut their mouths! Cope says what is he doing!? Did he not hear that?! What’d he say that was so bad though? It’s not like Christian banged any of their mothers. Actually, maybe he did? Cope says the 90s were pretty crazy. Christian says FTR is sitting at home with their beady eyes up against the screen wondering what he’ll say.

Here it is. FTR are without a doubt the toughest. They are without a doubt the best tag team C&C have shared the ring with. And they brought out the very best in Cage & Cope. The fans cheer that, and Christian says FTR is as advertised, they are Top Guys. Just not the tippy top. Cope says the thing is, FTR agreed to an I Quit match against two men told they would never wrestle again. Two men who, in total, were retired for 16 years. They refused to say “I Quit,” and they got their careers back! The fans cheer that, too! FTR is in the rearview, though, time to live in the now. Time to have some fun, huh, Philly?

So they’re about to do something they haven’t done in 25 YEARS. And that’s not just hold gold, no. They know what this is. For the first time in 25 years, for the benefit of those with flash photography, they will hit a five second pose. Christian says no, he’s not. The fans boo but Cope asks what is his problem. Philly wants to see it, right? The fans cheer, and they chant, “Five Second Pose! Five Second Pose!” Christian says if they want a five second pose… Do they even make flash photography anymore? Oh, no, that’s where he is wrong! Cope goes out, looks under the ring, and he brings out a black bag. See, 20 years ago, Cope went to the store and bought a bunch just for this scenario!

Cope dumps out disposable cameras! He explains to the under-25-year-olds how you turn on the flash and wind it up. Cope hands out cameras to the front row fans, and then says he’s already winded. The fans cheer as they get cameras, and Cope says alright, Philly, you ready? So now, for the benefit of- THE DOGS ATTACK! The fans boo as they knock Cope down, then SHILLELAGH Christian! Then they POST Captain Charisma and let him fall out of the ring! The fans boo as The Dogs then SMASH Christian’s hand off the steps, then step on it! Finlay then winds up, SHILLELAGH TO THE ARM! AND AGAIN!!

Then The Dogs lift up the steps, and put it on top of the bad arm! Christian can’t move as Connors lines up a shot, and he DOUBLE STOMPS the steps!! Christian writhes and flails but The Dogs put him in the ring. Cope is out cold already, but then Finlay SHILLELAGHS Christian in the face! The fans boo, but Finlay sits Cope up with the shillelagh. Connors then gets to SPEAR Cope down!! The fans boo even harder, but now The Dogs pick up the mics, and Finlay makes a cameraman be front and center. Connors says, “For the benefit of those with flash photography~… The Dogs present a NEW five second pose!”

The fans boo, but The Dogs call this one, “Your NEXT AEW Tag Team Championship!” The Rebel and 100 Proof have staked their claim, when and where will they get shot at the gold?

Prince Nana ushers a cameraman into the room.

He has them follow him to where Swerve Strickland is seated. Then he asks if they saw what they did to Bandido at Double or Nothing. Well of course they saw it! Millions saw it across social media! And now Brody wants to step back into the picture? Nana has news for Brody: Swerve is winning The Owen, then he goes back to Wembley Stadium and to the main event! Swerve applauds Brody, good win. But he gets a bit sentimental in his soft heart when he sees Brody succeed. If not for Swerve, no one would know who Brody is, because Swerve broke Brody into the business. But like he said, it doesn’t mater who gets in his way. Friend or foe, you get put down.

If not worse than what Swerve did to Bandido. What even is his condition? He could be hospitalized for all he knows, or all he cares. But as Nana said, millions watched it and couldn’t take their eyes off. What Swerve loves about making money in this country is that conflict creates cash, war makes money, and Brody… Swerve plans on making a lot of money off you. See you around. Whose house?

The Divine Dominion speak.

Lena Kross welcomes Tay Melo & Anna Jay back to the AEW Women’s Tag Division, but says the clock is ticking. Megan Bayne says not for how long their match will last, but for how long the champs will let them live. Tick-tock, TayJay. The Megasus & Aussie Amazon have put the OG AEW women’s tag team on notice, but how will they respond?

TayJay VS Ava Everett & Allie Katch!

The teams sort out and the Queenslayer starts against Ava. The fans rally as the two circle, tie up, and Anna wrenches to HOOK KICK! Then she whips, but Ava reverses, only for Anna to CLOBBER her! Anna bumps Ava off buckles, tags Tay, and Tay sends Anna in for the LEG LARIAT! Then Tay BACK ELBOWS! The fans fire up as Tay brings Ava out, but Ava JAWBREAKERS! Tay blocks a shot, ROCKS Her, but Ava tags Allie! Tay BOOTS Allie down, then tags Anna! Anna runs to BASEMENT BLOCKBUSTER! Tay runs to KNEE STRIKE! Anna hauls Allie up, Gory Especial! GORY K O! Then a HAYMAKER for Ava just to be sure! Cover, TayJay wins!

Winners: TayJay, by pinfall

Well, if this was timed, it looks like TayJay matched Divine Dominion in speed and ferocity. When and where will they get to face Megan & Lena face to face?

Mike Bailey speaks.

Speedball tells Kevin that he has made his choice! Bailey went out there, heard what Knight had to say, offered him his hand, but Knight attacked in return. If that’s the road he wants to go down, then fine. Bailey will walk it with him, just on opposite sides. So how about Bailey VS Knight, 1v1! If Knight wants to show the world who he really is, then let’s see how this goes! JetSpeed is truly dead, but who will be buried with the name after these two fight it out?

2026 Owen Hart Memorial Men’s Tournament: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis!

As if things weren’t personal from the battle over the AEW National Championship, in which Ricochet gave the assist, there is also the attempt at vehicular manslaughter from Sunday night at Double or Nothing! Both men want to win The Cup, but who wins this battle here tonight?

The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Davis stops. Davis runs up, Jack dodges to CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! Davis TOSSES Jack to the corner to LARIAT, LARIAT, and LARIAT! But then Jack avoids a short arm lariat, but Davis LARIATS again! Davis runs to BLAST Jack off the apron, and Jack hits the barriers! The fans rally for Jack but Davis sits atop the corner as the ring count climbs. Jack is still down at 5 of 10, drags himself up, and the fans help Jack stand.

The count is 8 of 10, Jack hobbles forward, and he LEAPS in at 9.99!! Then he avoids a senton! The fans fire up as Jack brings Davis to the apron, reels him in, but that’s too much man to lift! Davis ROCKS Jack, reels him in, and suplexes, but Jack knees free! Jack backs up, SUPERKICKS, and he goes up the corner to FLYING RANA to the floor!

The fans fire up, and Jack hurries to put Davis on the apron. But Davis LARIATS Jack into the ring! Then he suplexes Jack for an APRON FALCON ARROW! Jack’s shoes are literally knocked off, but both men are down while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref checks both men, and they’re both able to continue, though rather surprisingly. Davis rises up, and yes, both of Jack’s shoes flew right off. Davis hobbles his way over to drag Jack back up, and he puts Jack back in. Davis then takes Jack’s socks off, and he stands on Jack’s bare toes! Then STOMPS them! Jack writhes and clutches his foot, but Davis just STOMPS the other foot! Davis soaks up the heat while Jack clutches both feet. Davis clamps on with a chinlock and he grinds Jack down. Jack is fading, and the ref checks. The arm drops once! The arm drops twice! But then Jack comes back to life! Jack fights up, fires body shots, then mule kicks!

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (advances in the tournament)

As Dynamite gives way to Collision, so did Tarzan Life give out against the dominance of #DangerousDavis! Callis joins his guy in the ring, as does Renee Paquette. Renee says a huge congratulations as Davis now advances, meaning that next week, the semifinals begin, and it will be Davis VS Ospreay! The fans like the sound of that, and Renee asks Callis how that will go. Callis says he has something important to say. “Will Ospreay, I hope you were watching tonight. Because Mark Davis, next week, is gonna put you on the shelf! Will Ospreay, I know you better than your own mother! You were in the Don Callis Family, and you thought you were the chosen one!

“You were NEVER the chosen one! And y’know who was never the chosen one? Konosuke Takeshita! The only chosen one in this family has always been none other than KYLE! BAH GAWD! FLETCHER!” And with that, Kyle makes his entrance! He is accompanied by Rocky Romero, who is still in one piece after that brawl with The Conglomeration from earlier tonight. Kyle says, “Now first thing’s first. Don, gimme some sugar!” They hug it out while the fans boo. Kyle says now we can talk about the elephant in the room. “Kyle, how could you? How could you come back from such a catastrophic injury in record time?”

Kyle broke his leg in two places, tore his meniscus, and is back under two months?! How? The answer is Kyle is a genetic anomaly! He is the picture perfect performer! And he is happy to announce that as of today, he is 100% cleared for in-ring competition! The fans do like the sound of that. Kyle says there was one more factor, something that pushed him to go harder and harder every single day to get healthy, and that was that Kyle wanted to be the man to cut loose the dead weight in the Don Callis Family! Kyle has been trying to hold the family together the better part of a year, when Konosuke is the one driving a wedge between them!

And the second Kyle was out of the way, Konosuke did what he always does: What was best fir him. Konosuke never cared about the family! Konosuke never cared about Kyle. The sad thing is, Kyle really wanted to sit atop the wrestling world alongside Konosuke, #Protoshita running the whole world! Now, that is never going to happen, because Konosuke Takeshita is a selfish prick!! The fans boo, but WAIT! KONOSUKE IS HERE! The Alpha, the NEW International Champion, shows off said belt as he stares down the three family members in the ring. And wait, he’s not alone! The Conglomeration are his new amigos!

The fans cheer as Cassidy, Roddy, Kyle & Briscoe follow Konosuke to the ring, and the Callis Family runs for it! The fans cheer more, and Konosuke grabs the mic. “I got this title back!” The fans cheer that! “You Deserve It!” Konosuke nods, and he says now, Kyle Fletcher…! Konosuke wants YOU! The fans cheer as The Alpha calls out the Protostar! Will Konosuke make Kyle regret ever choosing Okada over him?

Will Ospreay speaks.

“Oi, oi, oi, oi! Mark Davis, congratulations! You’ve advanced to the semis, you big hairy bastard. Our history is very well documented. You was in the United Empire with me, you lived in my house for a year and didn’t pay any rent, but what’s documented is you were the one guy to stop the match with a doctor stoppage. That doesn’t sit right with me because I was at 50% when I wrestled you last. Now, baby, I am at 100%, and there is nothing, and I mean nothing, stopping me from going to Wembley Stadium, bruv!” Moxley then steps in and says wow. It’s time! Ospreay says yeah, see you out there. He wishes luck to Pac, too, but Pac ignores the fist bump.

Ospreay feels awkward, and says sorry, his entrance is this way. The Aerial Assassin is still unsure about truly being a Death Rider, but will he still stand his Death Ground alongside them tonight? Or will Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed light it up here in Philly?

Six Man Tag: Will Ospreay, Jon Moxley & PAC VS The Rascalz!

The trios sort out and the Death Riders just attack! Ospreay is unsure what to make of that, but then he dodges Dez to CHOP! Ospreay whips Dez while Moxley sends Myron into railing and Pac beats down Zach. Dez slides under Ospreay, reaches up and RANAS, then he hurdles to blow past and RANA! The fans fire up as Dez then fires off fast strikes, and he whips again for a DROPKICK! Ospreay falls, Dez covers, ONE! Dez headlocks, Ospreay powers up and out, but Dez handsprings over the dropdown. Dez slips around, Ospreay ELBOWS him, then things speed up. Dez hurdles into a BOOT! Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks, then CHOPS Dez down!

Ospreay drags Dez up, wrenches, and Pac tags himself in. Dez gets away to tag Zach, but Pac HIP TOSSES Zach! Pac cravats Zach, he tags Moxley, then he hands Zach off for Moxley to wrench. Zach CHOPS, so Moxley eggs Zach on. Zach CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS, then runs, but Moxley drops down to ELBOW Zach down! Moxley CHOPS Zach down, then he tags Ospreay. Ospreay springboards, Zach dodges the forearm, then SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Zach BLASTS The Death Riders, Dez UPPERCUTS Ospreay, and then RAILGUN DROPKICK! Myron runs in, is put up and out to then slingshot and CODE BREAKER!

Dez goes up, he DOUBLE STOMOPS Ospreay! then Zach & Myron FLY to take out Pac & Moxley! The fans fire up for The Rascalz while Collision goes picture in picture.

Dez throws hands on Ospreay, then RAMS him into a corner. Dez digs his shoulders in, then GAMANGIRIS! Dez brings Ospreay up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Zach. They mug Ospreay, stomp away on him, then Zach tags Myron. The stomping continues, then Myron tags Dez. They dig their boots in, add more stomps, then Dez runs to ROCK Moxley! Moxley gets mad but the ref keeps him back. But Ospreay CHOPS Dez! Dez ELBOWS Ospreay, then tags Zach. They double whip, atomic drop, then dropkick the legs out for a chancery and DROPKICK! Cover off their version of the dream sequence, TWO! Ospreay survives, but Zach clamps on with a chinlock.

Ospreay fights up, fires body shots, then runs, but Zach DROPKICKS him down! Cover, ONE!! Zach clamps onto Ospreay with a chinlock and armlock. Ospreay endures, even as Zach puts on the pressure. Ospreay fights up, around, and reaches out, but Zach CLUBS him. Zach whips Ospreay to the corner, tags Dez, and Dez fires body shots. Dez CLUBS Ospreay, KNEES him in the side, then tag to Myron. Myron keeps Ospreay down with a facelock, then RAMS him back into the corner. Myron RAMS Ospreay again, and again, then tags Zach. The mugging continues, but the ref didn’t see the tag because he was busy with The Death Riders!

Zach BLASTS Pac & Moxley again, but Ospreay fires hands on Zach! Zach and Ospreay trade shots, then Zach CHOSPS! Collision returns to single picture, and Ospreay fights out of the Rascal corner! Ospreay CHOSP Zach, Zach whips, but Ospreay reverses. Zach handsprings to JUMP KNEE! Tag to Dez, he and Zach double whip again. Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring and DOUBLE PELE! The fans rally up, but then Myron BLASTS Pac & Moxley! But Ospreay BACKDROPS Myron! There’s a little hesitation, but Ospreay still hot tags Pac! The fans fire up as The Bastard RAMS Myron, slingshots up and over, then comes back to SOBAT!

Pac KICKS, SOBATS, then runs, but Myron dodges! Pac still ALRIATS Myron! And BACKBREAKER for Dez! And OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY for Zach! Pac runs up to BOOT Zach, then he sends Dez into Zach! GERMAN SUPLEX on Dez! Then OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY for Myron onto Zach! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up for Pac as he stalks Myron. Tag to Moxley, and he LARIATS! Pac ELBOWS Myron! Moxley LARIATS! Ospreay joins in on the Cycle of Violence, ELBOW after ELBOW, then a feed to Moxley’s CUTTER! Ospreay & Pac BOOT Zach & Dez! Then they build speed to DOBULE FLY! Down go Zach & Dez while Moxley PILEDRIVERS Myron! Cover, TWO!!

Myron survives but Moxley is more amused than anything. Moxley underhooks for DEATH- NO, Myron cradles, TWO!! Moxley escapes, but Myron goes Matrix to avoid the lariat! CUTTER! The fans fire up again and Myron has Moxley in the corner. Myron runs corner to corner, but into a LARIAT! Moxley tags Ospreay, then he sets Myron up, DOUBLE STOMP to the arm! Then a tilt-o-whirl, LA MYSTICA! Zach is back but Ospreay ducks the kick to BOOT him int Moxley’s REAR NAKED CHOKE! Ospreay ducks Dez on the handspring, and Pac wrangles Dez! BRUTALIZER! Ospreay snatches Myron, DEATH GROUND!! The Rascalz tap, Ospreay & Death Riders win!

Winners: Will Ospreay, Jon Moxley & Pac, by submission

It was fast ‘n’ furious and even high flying, but it ended on the mat in true wrestling fashion! Will Ospreay be razor sharp as he prepares for Dunkzilla?

The Opps speak.

Samoa Joe admits, it hasn’t been the best week for them. But that does not mean the mission changes. When he founded The Opps, it was an organization about opposition but also opportunity. They stand against those who would stand in their way, but they give opportunities to those who deserve them. Hook just finished filming a movie, Shibata owns the hottest chain of pachinko parlors in Nara, Japan. And soon, Anthony Bowens will get the standing ovation he deserves. But once again, opportunity calls and Hollywood is ringing. Joe will be stepping away for a few months, but he knows they know how this works. He expects them to hold it down.

Joe shakes hands with each member in turn, then heads out. And then Hook steps forward as team captain, like before. Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure The Opps are #NeverLacking?

We hear from tonight’s main eventers.

Kris Statlander tells Hikaru Shida, “When I got cracked with that kendo stick, I knew it was you. I wasn’t being gullible, I was waiting for the moment that you’d be stupid enough to do yourself in! Because that didn’t hurt, I liked it. Shida, my dear friend, me, you, and a Lights Out Philly Street Fight.” Hikaru Shida tells Kris, “I’ve been really patient with you. But now, my patience has run out. You want me in a Philly Street Right? You want me? You got me!” RIP Shidalander, but who will turn the other’s lights out?

Backstage interview with… Divine Dominion!

Lexy Nair was looking for TayJay, but finds Megan & Lena instead. Megan & Lena say TayJay only lasted 30 seconds, so sad. What? Their tag match was longer than- OH! TayJay is down and out! Megan & Lena clearly attacked TayJay, but is this a warning shot? Or is it a sign that they feel threatened by the OGs?

Andrade El Idolo VS Ace Austin!

While The Real Latino Man wants his shot at The Scumbag AEW World Champion, he must bide his time now that Rush has his match next week. Will Andrade turn up the Latino Heat in Philly? Or will he Fold facing The Inevitable?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, feel things out, and tie up. Andrade headlocks, Ace endures, and Ace powers up, only for Andrade to hold on tight. Ace powers out the second time, but Andrade RUNS him over! Cocky cover, ONE! Ace drop toeholds Ace, ENZIGIRIS, then runs, but Andrade drops down. Andrade hurdles but into a fireman’s carry!

Lights Out Philly Street Fight: Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida!

They were friends, they tried being a team, but as the Cosmic Killer said, she knew what the Shining Samurai was really scheming. Shida’s two-faced nature showed itself, and now Statlander is looking to make her pay for it. There’s nothing holding these two back as they fight it out, what won’t they do to come out the winner?

The bell rings and Shida swings her kendo stick! Kris dodges, dodges, and then BOOTS the stick down to TACKLE Shida! Kris rains down fists but Shida turns things around to return fire! The fans fire up as both women get up, and Kris SUPERKICKS! Shida tumbles out of the ring, then Kris waits on her. No count-outs means Shida can wait all night, so Kris hurries to the apron.

Kris slides the chair into the ring, but Shida grabs it first! Shida JAMS Kris, then puts the chair on the corner. The fans rally as Shida runs up, but Kris RUSN her over!

Kris shadow boxes, not sure if she sees herself as the Rocky or Apollo in this scenario. Wait, did someone hand Shida an apple? The fans cheer as Shida CLOBBERS Kris with the apple! Shida climbs up on Kris in a corner, and she rains down apple fists! Shida goes all the way to TEN, then shoves Kris down. Shida brings the apple back around, and she makes Kris eat it! The fans cheer as Shida then BUZZSAWS the apple outta Kris’ mouth! Shida goes up to the apron, but Kris leaps up to CHOP! Kris carries Shida to POWERBOMB her on the floor!

My Thoughts:

Another awesome three hour show, but why did they even do a three hour show if they’re also doing a normal two-hour Collision on Saturday anyway? They need to just admit they want a three hour show on TBS already. Very good post-show promo from Ospreay, Kenny, and Moxley adding another dimension to the story. It might be a slow burn but I could see this resulting in Ospreay VS Omega at some point. Great interaction from Ospreay with The Death Riders ahead of their Six Man Tag, and a great Six Man Tag on top of that. Good use of tension between Ospreay and Pac to then have them working together by the end, and a great win for Ospreay & Death Riders.

Very good promo from The Demand before the match with Jericho, and of course Jericho won out in this scenario. Not sure this is actually the end, though. Even with Stadium Stampede having happened, there is room for one more wild stipulation match between Jericho and Ricochet. Great Fatal 4 Way for the fun of having a Fatal 4 Way, but it did help build a new story between Conglomeration VS Don Callis Family while also building Rush up as a contender. They emphasized the Conglomeration VS DCF story when they backed Konosuke against Kyle Fletcher and the others. We might not get DCF Civil War if they’re copping out to this, but it’ll still be a good feud.

Andrade even feels like he should be leaving DCF next, given he’s still aiming at MJF and doing things his way. Very good match with Ace, good win for Andrade, though I almost thought the overenthusiastic fan was gonna cost him. Very good promo from Knight for him to fully go Heel on Darby, the fans, and Bailey. Then good follow-up with Knight and MJF backstage, and great stuff with MJF, Briscoe and Rush during the “celebration.” MJF VS Rush will be great, but presumably, MJF is at least gonna cheat to win that one to protect Rush. Briscoe and Andrade probably fight it out to get their shot at MJF, probably for Summer Blockbuster.

Great Owen Hart Cup matches, either one could’ve “main evented” Dynamite. I figured Brody was winning against Claudio to set up a match with Swerve, and I forgot about the potential of Ospreay VS Davis. Davis winning out to set that up is fine, we’re getting even more heat in the semifinals now, but all the more reason it feels like we get Ospreay VS Swerve for Forbidden Door. A little surprised we didn’t get even one Women’s Owen Cup, but that’ll be next week it seems. We got great build in the women’s tag division tonight, with TayJay having a solid return match, and then “getting attacked” by Divine Dominion makes it clear, that’s the tag title match.

And awesome Collision main event, essentially the true main event, because that’s where Lights Out matches go. Kris and Shida did some great stuff, such as using the bike, and that was a pretty good bump on Shida’s head. Harley showing up made me worry that she was turning on Kris, but no, fans love Harley too much for her to go Heel. Great win for Kris, maybe there’s story of Harley trying to be teammates with Kris like she wanted, but with the TBS Championship vacated, it feels like Kris will want part of whatever match/matches determine the new champ.

My Score: 9/10
