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.

Moxley runs up, but into the full nelson and SLAM! The fans fire up again as Juice powers up. Juice spits on his left hand and winds up! JAB! JAB! JAB! LEFT HAND- NO, Moxley BITES Juice’s forehead!

Juice flails, reaches out, but Moxley holds tight! Moxley keeps Juice from the ropes, brings him around, PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO?!? Juice survives, but Moxley is right on him with the SLEEPER! 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! Dax scoops to SLAM, but Cassidy UP KCIKS again! Dax headlocks. Cassidy powers up and out to then headlock takeover! The fans cheer as Cassidy rubs Dax’s bald head! Cassidy pushes to a cover, ONE, and Dax fights up. Dax powers up but he pulls hair to put Cassidy in a corner.

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!

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. Cassidy is a ragdoll so Dax lets him go. The ref checks Cassidy but Cassidy is still conscious. Dax suplexes, but into a STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! And then Cassidy loads up in the corner! ORANGE PUNCH!! 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. Keith and Okada feel things out, tie up, and Okada slips around to waistlock. Keith headlocks, Okada pries the hold open, but Keith powers it on tighter. The fans rally as Okada powers up again, only for Keith to tighten the hold again. Okada powers Keith to ropes, the ref counts, and Keith lets Okada go. Okada feints the punch to pat Keith on the shoulders. But Keith ROCKS Okada! And ROCKS him again! Then CHOPS and ROCKS!

Keith whips but Okada blocks, so Keith CHOPS again! The fans are torn as Keith BOOTS Okada! Okada stays up, but Keith BOOTS him again! Okada drops to a knee, Keith runs up and he BOOTS Okada down! Cover, TWO! Keith is annoyed already but he’s always kinda upset. Keith CHOPS Okada, then snapmares for a KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! Keith brings Okada up, wrenches, and HOOK KICKS Okada down! Keith stands Okada up, clinches, but Okada fights with elbows. Okada goes to a corner, Keith runs up, but Okada dodges! Okada puts Keith up top, to then DROPKICK Keith off the corner! Keith tumbles to apron then the floor!

The fans cheer while Okada goes out to fetch Keith. Okada stands Keith up, just to DDT him on the floor! Okada grins and the fans cheer again while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref checks Keith but he is still in the match. Okada takes his time bringing Keith back up, but Keith COHPS! And CHOPS! Okada RAMS Keith into the corner! 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! Archer coaches Okada up but Keith snarls as he rises first. Keith roars, the fans cheer, and Keith runs up on Okada to ROCK him with a forearm! Okada staggers but Keith ROCKS him again! Keith ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER Okada! Keith whips, Okada reverses, but Keith turns the backdrop into a DDT! Cover, TWO! Okada survives and bails out of the ring. Keith pursues, and he storms around the way. Okada kicks low, but Keith slips around!

Okada switches, Keith spins around, DDT on the floor! Keith returns the favor on Okada and Okada is in a daze! Keith snarls, he drags Okada up, and he puts Okada in the ring. Keith vows to end this, and he clinches, only for Okada to fight the lift! Keith CLUBS Okada, then runs the ropes, but Okada blocks the boot to BOOT back! Alabama Lift, the tuck, REVERSE NECKBREAKER! The fans cheer as Okada drags Keith up. Okada scoops, SLAMS, and tries the standard formula again. Okada is up top, for the MACHO ELBOW! The fans cheer as Okada winds it up, Rainmaker MIDDLE FINGER! Okada then brings Keith up, only for Keith to fire elbows!

Keith runs, but into a DROPKICK from Okada! Okada then brings Keith up, ripcords, but Keith HEADBUTTS! Keith then hurries to underhook Okada, but Okada fights the lift! Okada slips through, ripcords, but Keith ducks the lariat! And he fakes out the dropkick! Okada crashes, Keith rolls him through, underhooks, but Okada BACKDROPS free!

Keith runs up on Okada, GAMANGIRI in the corner! Keith goes up, reels Okada in, DIAMOND- NO, Okada blocks!

Okada gut wrenches through to LANDSLIDE DRIVER! Then a ripcord, RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!

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?

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!

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! Shida tags back in, she drags Mina up, but Mina fires forearms! Shida fires back and the fans rally up!

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. But now he’ll have to see if he can keep up with The Jet, who himself overcome the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil just last Saturday. Will Knight add more gold to his luggage? Or will Darby’s human demolition derby keep on going?

The introductions are made, the world title is raised, and we see who is truly the top champion in AEW!

The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Knight powers Darby to the corner, Darby powers his way around, and they’re still in a deadlock.

Knight bails out but Darby builds speed!

Darby DIVES and direct hit into the desk! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! The ring count starts while Knight writhes. Darby hobbles around, brings as chair over, and the fans rally up.

Knight knows that, too, and he gets away from the chair! Knight goes up, he brawls with Darby, then CHOPS! UPPER ROOM to the floor!! The fans go nuts for that crash landing and Knight is feeling it! Knight clears the desk to stand on it, and the fans cheer again!

Knight then goes back for Darby, brings him up and around, and he sits Darby up on the desk. Knight ROCKS Darby with forearm after forearm, even as the ref says to get in the ring. Knight fires more shots, then looks to the ring. Knight grins, as he can get crazy, too! Knight aims from the ring to springboard, SUPER DUPER FLYING LARIAT onto and over the desk!! The fans go nuts again for this new crash landing! Knight hobbles his way around while the fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Knight drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, and hobbles his way to the corner. Knight goes up, aims again, MISSILE- NO, Darby catches Knight!

Darby steps through and turns Knight over, SHARPSHOOTER!! Knight endures as Darby sits deep on the hold! Knight still makes the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Darby lets go in frustration.

Cover, Darby wins!

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. Their arm-drags cancel out, then their dropkicks do the same! Bailey dodges to LIGHTNING KICK and ENZIGIRI! Fox tumbles out while the fans cheer.

Fox runs up but Bailey avoids the flip-stomp! Bailey avoids it again, then jumps the slide to ARIHARA SKY TWISTER! Direct hit and down goes Fox! Fox writhes, clutches a shoulder, but the fans fire up for Bailey. Bailey puts Fox in the ring, goes up a corner, and leaps in for the MISSILE DROPKICK!

Another cover, TWO! Bailey toughs it out but Fox stays on him at the ropes. Fox stands Bailey up, CHOPS, then stalks Bailey to a corner. Fox snapmares Bailey for a handstand SENTON! Cover, ONE!!

Fox fires body shots, then whips, but Bailey blocks by holding ropes!

Fox tries again but Bailey still holds on. Fox steps over to mule kick, then whips. Bailey reverses, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but so does Fox! But Bailey THRUST KICKS and down goes Fox! 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! The shots go faster and faster, harder and harder, then both men are forehead to forehead as Collison returns to single picture.

Both men stand while the fans rally, and Fox kicks low! Fox goes to suplex but Bailey fights it! They go back and forth, fighting for suplex control, but Bailey knees free! 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. Fox puts Bailey in, goes up top, and SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, TWO!! Bailey survives and Fox is shocked!

Fox shakes off his surprise to drag Speedball to a drop zone. Fox goes back up, 450- NO, Bailey dodges! Fox rolls through, Bailey runs up, but Fox avoids the Time Adventure!

Bailey goes up, but Fox gets him, only for Bailey to DENY him Lo Mein Pain! ULTIMATE WEAPON!! Cover, Bailey wins!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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
