Backstage interview with Rush.

It was earlier today that Renee Paquette was with El Toro Blanco and brings up the biggest match of his AEW career, he is facing MJF for THE AEW World Championship. How is he feeling ahead of this match? Rush says he will tell us all how he feels. Rush looks into the camera and says, “After beating the entire roster, after winning my matches in less than a minute, after waiting for more than three years, THREE YEARS, finally, I got my shot for the AEW World title! I will die in the ring if that’s what it takes. This is for my people. This is for my family. And this is for my pride! I will take the AEW World title, because when you mess with the Bull…”

MJF steps in, and says go ahead, finish the catchphrase. Rush says, “YOU GET THE-” then MJF SLAPS him! MJF says if Rush is the Bull, that makes mi the matador! But then Rush TACKLES MJF and stomps him! MJF says if Rush wants it, then he’s got it! The Scumbag just can’t help himself. But will he regret riling up an already raging bull?

Another backstage interview with Rush.

Renee is again with El Toro Blanco and says the world title match is now the opener for tonight, and it has been upped to No Count Outs! Andrade El Idolo steps in and shakes hands with his old friend. Andrade tells Rush that tonight, he will beat up that cabron and take that title for his family, for La Raza, and for anyone who says Latinos can’t be world champion. When you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Rush is even more determined than he was before, will he make sure to tear MJF apart? Or can that Scumbag find a way to survive the first defense of his third reign?

AEW World Championship No Count Outs: MJF VS Rush!

The introductions are made, but MJF again insists Justin Roberts specifically says, “He took out your home state boy, Hangman, so he can never be champ again. He says you all put the ‘virgin’ in Virginia…” The belt is raised, but we see if MJF regrets pushing Rush’s buttons.

The bell rings and Rush runs up to throw hands with MJF! The fans fire up as the forearms fly, and they cheer Rush while they boo MJF! Rush gets the edge, then eggs MJF on. MJF SPITS at Rush! The fans boo, but Rush just gets pissed. MJF apologizes, but then he has to dodge. MJF kicks, Rush blocks it, but MJF pokes Rush in the eyes! MJF mocks the bull horns, tells the fans to “SUCK IT!” then he runs the ropes. But Rush BACKDROPS MJF away! MJF bails out, Rush builds speed, and Rush FLIES! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up again! Rush stomps MJF, stand shim up, and SPITS in his face in return! Rush then whips MJF hard into railing!

Rush eggs MJF on, then whips him hard into railing! And then into more railing! MJF slumps back but Rush grabs that green cable he loves so much! The fans cheer as Rush stomps MJF, then CHOKES him with the cable! The ref reprimands, there are still disqualifications in this match! Rush stops at 4, but he makes sure MJF sits up against railing. Rush tells MJF he is gonna regret playing around. Rush runs up, but MJF drop toeholds him into the chair! MJF then makes Rush take a seat, he gets space, and MJF runs in to BOOT WASH Rush! Rush falls into the timekeeper’s area, and MJF soaks up heat from Richmond.

MJF drags Rush up, puts him back in the seat, and he says one more time! MJF runs back in, but Rush BACKDROPS MJF onto the timekeeper’s table! The table doesn’t break but MJF is still down in a heap, and the fans all fire up for Rush! Rush drags MJF up, BODY BLOWS him, then follows him into the ring. Rush rips a buckle pad right off, then chucks it to the crowd! Free souvenir? The ref reprimands Rush but Rush sees MJF cowering in the other corner. MJF begs for mercy but the fans boo. Rush just kisses his fist before he DECKS MJF! Rush stomps away on MJF, then stomps on MJF, then backs off to go to the far corner.

“If you mess with the bull, you get the-” NO, MJF bails out to the apron! Rush hurries to drag him back in and BODY SHOT! And CHOP! Rush sees the bare buckle, he shines MJF’s forehead up, but the ref won’t let Rush whip MJF in! The fans boo, Rush pushes the ref aside, but MJF SMACKS Rush off the buckle! MJF soaks up the heat, mocks the bull’s horns again, then goes back to Rush. MJF snapmares Rush and we can see Rush is busted open. MJF CLAWS the bloody wound, then wraps on a headlock. The fans rally for Rush as he endures, fights up, and fires body shots. But MJF THROWS Rush down by his hair!

The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but MJF says no one can touch him, he’s number one! MJF stalks Rush, drags him up, but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS MJF, then runs, but MJF SPINEBUSTERS! MJF rains down fists on Rush, then stops to soak up more heat. MJF goes back to Rush, drags him up, and aims for the buckle again! But the ref stops MJF, just like he did Rush. MJF pushes the ref aside, and now Rush SMACKS MJF off the buckle! The fans cheer as at least now things are even. MJF snarls, he isn’t busted open, but Rush dodges to CHOP and fire off shots! Rush whips corner to corner to LARIAT!

Rush whips again, SPLASH! The fans fire up with Rush, and he feeds off his own blood! Rush whips, MJF reverses, but Rush dodges to SNAP GERMAN! And SLIDING KNEE! Cover, TWO! MJF survives but Rush snarls as the crimson mask keeps growing. Rush goes to a corner, and now he climbs up? MJF rises, into a MISSILE DROPKICK! MJF tumbles away but Rush hurries to cover, TWO! MJF survives but the fans still rally for Rush. Rush rises, he brings MJF up, but MJF trips Rush to a jackknife bridge! TWO and both men hurry to their feet. MJF ELBOWS from the corner, then goes up, DOUBLE STOMP to the arm!

MJF comes back, but Rush HEADBUTTS him down! The fans cheer while Rush wobbles, “This is Awesome!” as Rush steadies himself. Rush has to sit down, but he still brings MJF to the apron.

Rush roars, the fans fire up, and Rush brings MJF up to reel him in. STRAITJACKET PILEDRIVER on the apron!! MJF falls to the floor, Rush rests on the apron, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Rush struggles to sit up, but he still feeds off seeing his own blood. Rush hobbles, clutches his bad arm, and he uses the post to help pop it into place! Rush fires up, Richmond is with him, and Rush fetches MJF off the floor. Rush still has to rest, the arm is bothering him. The ref wants the medics to check, and the medic doesn’t like how it looks already. Justin Roberts is called over to make the announcement, but Dynamite returns to single picture right as Rush slaps the mic out of Justin’s hand! Rush HEADBUTTS the medic! The fans fire up as Rush refuses to let a bad arm stop him! Rush drags MJF up into the ring and into the corner!

The fans are thunderous as Rush stomps away on MJF, then stomps again and again! Rush powers up, the fans chant “RUSH! RUSH!” and if you mess with the bull…! BULL’S HORNS!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!!

The fans go nuts seeing the destruction Rush pulled off, but that seems to have cost Rush, too!

MJF drags Rush up, brings him back to ringside, and he pushes Rush into the ring. MJF pounds the mat to fire himself up, and the fans rally up while MJF massages his bad knee. MJF tries to stand but the leg hurts so bad! MJF powers through the pain, he drags Rush through the ropes, and that smug smile returns as he calls his shot.

MJF has Rush for the HEAT- NO! Rush SHOVES MJF away, and MJF’s leg jams! MJF falls over, but is he faking like before? Or is this one legit? Rush doesn’t bother to ask, he just goes up a corner! Rush climbs slowly given the damage he’s suffered, but he still MISSILE DROPKICK FLOPS as MJF moves! MJF then clamps onto the bad arm, rolls Rush and reels him in, is this a LEBELL LOCK?! Rush endures, reaches out, but MJF THRASHES around! Rush glares at MJF, flips him off, but MJF THRASHES harder! Rush is fading! RUSH IS OUT! MJF WINS!

Winner: MJF, by submission (still AEW World Champion)

MJF may call himself The Devil, but that was perhaps miraculous that MJF survived Rush in a fair and square fight! But MJF is still a Scumbag as he wants to hit Rush with the belt! But MRK BRISCOE is here! Briscoe runs in, dodges the belt shot, then kicks low! Briscoe underhooks, but MJF wrenches free to LOW BLOW! The fans boo as MJF then picks up the belt, takes aim at Briscoe, but THE CONGLOMERATION rushes out here! Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and the returning #BigTom, Tomohiro Ishii, all chase MJF off! Briscoe may be the Sussex County Chicken, but MJF worms his way out of here! When and where will he have to #ManUp?

Mark Briscoe VS Lio Rush!

Briscoe didn’t have to leave the ring, his match is right now! But will he be able to #ManUp when he’s facing a Problem Child? Or will it be fine, it’s fiiiiine?

Lio makes his entrance and the entire Conglomeration freezes up. Freshly Squeezed again hopes Lio can’t see them if they don’t move, and he leaves them be, so maybe that’s true. It’s a little like red light green light for a second and then the others get outta there to let Briscoe face Lio alone. The bell rings and even Briscoe isn’t sure what to make of this. The fans rally as the two circle, then Lio says he has something to share with him. Whatever he whispers seems confusing. Lio tries to whisper it again but the message still isn’t getting through. The fans say, “One More Time! One More Time!” Lio talks to his other self, and just attacks!

Briscoe blocks a kick, FLIPS Lio, but then Lio runs, redirects, and again! Lio drops down to look Briscoe in the eyes. Briscoes wings, Lio dodges, but then Briscoe catches Lio by surprise with the crane stance. Lio avoids that kick, waistlocks, but Briscoe breaks free to PELE! Lio goes to ropes, the fans fire up, and Briscoe whips. Lio stops himself, goes to a corner, then he BOOTS Briscoe! Lio goes up but Briscoe UPPERCUTS! Lio tumbles to the floor, and Briscoe says BANG BANG! But Lio’s right on the apron! Briscoe says bang bang again, so Lio says bang bang. Then they fire forearms! The fans rally as Briscoe fires forearms, then winds up, but Lio BITES the other hand!

The ref reprimands but the fans are torn as Lio lets Briscoe go. Briscoe hurries down the steel steps, but Lio is already there to meet him. Lio gives chase with his gremlin run! Briscoe goes to the ring, then TOSSES Lio back out! Briscoe builds speed to WRECK Lio with the dropkick! The fans fire up while Lio staggers around. Briscoe aims, and he BLOCKBUSTERS to the floor!

Lio runs, but Briscoe follows, only for Lio to dodge and LARIAT Briscoe! Cover, TWO! Lio talks to himself again before he stomps Briscoe in the corner, then BITES his forehead! the ref counts, Lio stops, and Lio offers a hand to the ref. The ref politely declines, and Lio snapmares Briscoe. Lio CLAWS Briscoe’s back! Briscoe writhes, Lio grins, then Lio covers, TWO! Lio clamps onto Briscoe with a bearhug of a waistlock, but Briscoe fights up. Briscoe switches, Lio switches back, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

Lio shoves Briscoe to ropes, Briscoe tumbles to the apron, but Lio HANDSPRING KICKS him down! The fans duel as Lio starts up the gremlin run! And DIVE! Down goes Briscoe at the ramp! The fans rally while Lio seems to stare through the camera right to us at home! Lio puts Briscoe in, then goes up a corner. FINAL- No, Briscoe avoids the splash! Lio hits a crane stance? Then he dodges the punch to fire fast hands and a forearm! Lio whips, Briscoe reverses, but into RUSH HOUR! Cover, TWO! Lio grins as he says no, and the fans rally up again. Lio brings Briscoe up, reels him in, but Briscoe fights the lift.

Lio CLUBS Briscoe, CLUBS him again, and underhooks! The fans rally up for Briscoe as he BACKDROPS free! The fans cheer, but Lio is right up! Lio SLAPS Briscoe! Briscoe fires up, but Lio SLAPS again!

Lio gets moving, RUSH- NO, Briscoe CLOBBERS the stunner down! Briscoe straitjackets and torture racks, for a CUTTHROAT DRIVER! Cover, Briscoe wins!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

As outright feral as Lio Rush ash become, Briscoe was able to #ManUp and overcome! Briscoe then grabs a mic to say, “Now, dammit, I got something to say. Mr. Cameraman, please come closer. Cuz I’m talking to one man and one man alone. And that’s yo, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Now, lemme lay something out for ya, Max. Lemme take you back to 2023, January 17th. Mark’s brother, his tag team partner, 23+ YEARS… The fans cheer, knowing where this is going. In the blink of an eye, Jay was gone. One day later, even just a few hours really, was Mark’s birthday, January 18th. One week later, like it was their whole lives, it was Jay’s birthday.

But instead of celebrating, eating birthday cake together like they always had, Mark found himself making his debut here in AEW, alone. The fans applaud that, and Mark tells MJF that you can only imagine the whirlwind of emotions he felt. All this grief, this anger, this rage that Mark had to push down, bury deep inside. Don’t get him wrong, AEW may have saved Mark’s life, cuz this was his therapy! This is how he vented, how he got it all out. But it is still deep down in his core! He still couldn’t find joy! Then he came across some friends, some buddies, who were down to conglomerate. And his heart was full once again, the void was filled!

Briscoe had brothers he could rely on, and he felt the joy of being a pro-wrestler once more. “And then, Max… We crossed paths. And week by week, slowly but surely, with every BS sentence that came out your mouth, that anger and that rage, it came back tot he surface! And beyond that, because I’ve never felt the hatred that you made me feel! Max, I’ve never hated a man like I hate you! And you know damn well what happened when I got my hands on you! I pinned your bloody ass 1-2-3, right in the middle of this ring!” The fans cheer that! But then MJF went away, and Briscoe felt good. He could let the anger go and his mind was at east.

But sure enough, Max, your ugly ass head popped back up, and all the rage came right back! But now, the only difference is that MJF has something Briscoe wants! The A E W World Championship! And Briscoe is nothing like MJF! MJF bitches, whines, moans, complains, entitled to shots, throws hissy fits until he gets whatever he wants! But Briscoe is a grinder, he doesn’t complain, he just comes to work every week to do his job! And now Briscoe is calling MJF out, he is calling out the manhood! Briscoe beat MJF! MJF says he’s the best, then prove it! MJF has brought Briscoe to a dark place he’s never been! He feels demons on him!

But ain’t that appropriate, Devil! MJF wants to be the Devil of AEW? That’s cute. Well, #BigHebrew, read this on Briscoe’s shoulder. In Hebrew, it says, “Child of God.” So Max, “Devil,” Briscoe doesn’t know if you’ve read the book, but the devil loses! Now quit being scared and give Briscoe the shot, you moist-ass b*tch! The fans fire up as Briscoe is ready to tear MJF down! Will the Scumbag #ManUp and give Briscoe what he wants?

Thekla shouts from the stands!

“LISTEN UUUUUUUUP~… You dumb b*tches! Your AEW Women’s World Champion has something to say!” The Toxic Spider leads Julia Hart & Skye Blue down the steps as Thekla says she made a promise to herself. If one person from Stardom comes to AEW, she would burn that company down to the ground~! Thekla hops the railing as she says when she was in Japan, they used to call her “The Idol Killer.” Cuz every single pretty little kawaii girl would make her sick to her stomach! So, she had to take them all out! And then, yes, Thekla did get fired from Japan. So now, she has to do it all over again.

The Triangle of Madness goes from ringside to the ramp as Thekla continues. The Triangle of Madness has three jobs to do. This violent little thing, Skye Blue, has to win the Owen Hart Cup, while this Sister of Sin, Julia Hart, wants to get her TBS Championship back. But the Toxic Spider has all her eyes set on Forbidden Door! And whether they come here or she has to go there, it doesn’t matter, because Thekla is gonna close that damn door once and for all! Wait, are Skye & Julia bringing a ladder out? Thekla says she is not declaring war on Stardom, she is declaring DEATH TO STARDOM! The fans are torn, but Thekla says if that’s not already clear…

Thekla goes to her ladder, and she climbs it. Thekla points to the Stardom logo on the tron, and she SPITS on it! Thekla flips the middle finger to Stardom, but will Hazuki make sure to avenge them through the Owen Hart Cup?

The Death Riders help Will Ospreay warm up backstage.

Daniel Garcia tells “Young Boy Billy” that tonight, he needs to lock in. Last time, he wasn’t at 100%. Last time, Mark Davis dropped him on that little neck of his. Jon Moxley steps in and asks what Garcia’s doing. What’s he talking about? Garcia says right, sorry, “my bad.” Moxley says Davis has been taking up space in Ospreay’s mind, those memories, those thoughts. Now is the time to discard them forever. Right now. This is not a movie monster, it’s Mark Davis. Ospreay knows him, he’s wrestled him, Davis has only two arms and two legs. Ospreay can beat Davis, he will beat Davis. That was a different Ospreay then, this is a different Ospreay now.

This Ospreay has never faced Mark Davis. This Ospreay is indestructible in mind and spirit. What he’s becoming, Don Callis will need to hire a truck driver to run an 18-wheeler over Ospreay to beat him. Moxley doesn’t like the temperature around here lately with all these groups, alliances, and gang warfare. But Ospreay doesn’t need to worry about that, he has one job: put Davis’s shoulders to the mat and break his arm. Stay on task, beat Davis, that’s the job. Everything else, you let Moxley worry about that. He’ll handle it. Ospreay says okay, but Moxley has him understand, Moxley is for real. He doesn’t blow smoke up anyone’s ass.

Moxley knows Ospreay is starting to see it. Moxley tells the Death Riders it’s time to go, and Ospreay thanks them. The Aerial Assassin and Dunkzilla meet in the main event, will Ospreay be one step closer to his All In: London dream?

Andrade El Idolo VS DK Vandu!

The Real Latino Man gave Rush the pep talk, but it unfortunately didn’t get him over the top against MJF. And while he makes his entrance, Andrade already takes his weekly selfie with a lovely lady in the front row. Will Andrade be able to focus on fighting his way to the title? Or will #CamboXL make a big splash in AEW?

The bell rings and the fans rally. The two circle, DK waistlocks but Andrade ELBOWS free! Andrade brings DK up, but DK JAWBREAKERS! DK runs, but into the SHADOW ELBOW! Cover, but Andrade lets DK up! Andrade underhooks, DIRECT MESSAGE! Cover, Andrade wins!

Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall

A DM for DK and it’s over! Andrade pretends to check his watch, that was perhaps Andrade’s fastest ever. Andrade then grabs the mic so he can say, “Now that MJF has the world title… I really want it!” The fans cheer that! Andrade tells MJF that he knows MJF beat Andrade’s friend, his hermano, Rush. But Andrade asks if MJF really thinks he can beat Andrade. Does MJF think he can beat The RRRRRREAL Latino Man?! The fans cheer, and Andrade asks, “How you know?” The fans cheer again, but wait! Don Callis makes his way out here, accompanied by Jake Doyle. The Jackal already has a mic of his own as he goes to the ring.

Callis shakes hands with Andrade, then says, “Great job, Andrade, that was amazing! But right now, I have something very important to say.” The fans boo, but Callis says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the newest member of the Don Callis Family, THE JET, KEVIN KNIGHT!” WHAT?! The TNT Champion has joined the ranks of the Don Callis Family?! As if turning on Darby Allin and Mike Bailey wasn’t bad enough! Knight makes his entrance and even Andrade is a bit disappointed in this. Knight hugs it out with Callis, then he fist bumps Doyle. But speaking of Bailey, he makes his entrance, because he wants his revenge and his title match right now!

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight w/ The Don Callis Family VS “Speedball” Mike Bailey!

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Speedball can serve justice in Virginia!

The bell rings and the former JetSpeed stares down. The fans rally behind Speedball as he circles with Knight, then they tie up. They go around, Knight puts Bailey on the ropes, but the ref counts. Knight grinds his forearms in, but he backs off as the ref steps in. Knight rushes up but Bailey dodges, and then Knight bails out fast when he sees a kick coming! The fans cheer Bailey but Callis coaches Knight. The ring count climbs, Knight is very wary as he comes back, but then Bailey rushes the ropes and Knight drops away. Bailey slides out, Knight takes a swing but Bailey ducks under! Bailey kicks, Knight blocks, and Knight FLIPS Bailey!

Bailey tumbles, Knight whips him hard into steel steps! Bailey slumps down but Knight drags him up. Knight brings Bailey around, UPPERCUTS him down, then stalks Bailey.

Bailey rolls Knight, stacks, TWO! PENALTY- No, Knight avoids the kick! And he avoids the moonsault! Knight also avoids a leg sweep to whip Bailey, but Bailey reverses. Knight goes up and over, comes back, but barely avoids that thrust kick!

The fans fire up the standoff, but then Knight LARIATS Bailey up and out! Knight hurries out, brings Bailey around, and he ROCKS Bailey with a forearm. Knight shakes out his arm before he runs up, goes up the apron, only for Bailey to dodge! Then Bailey WALL JUMP KICKS! And mule kicks! Then ASAI TORNILLO!

Bailey climbs, Knight flounders, and Bailey SHOOTING STAR- NO, Bailey has to roll through as Knight moves! DROPKICK! Knight rains down fists on Bailey but the ref reprimands about closed fists, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Callis coaches Knight to keep on Bailey, and Knight drags Bailey up to TOSS him out! Knight soaks up heat while waiting on the ring count. Bailey is still down as we reach 5 of 10, and Knight is more worried about his looks. Callis checks a scratch on Knight’s cheek, he says there’s no blood so he’ll be alright. Bailey rolls in at 8! Knight is on Bailey with a whip to the corner. Knight stomps a mudhole into Bailey, then digs his boots in! The ref counts, and Knight stops as the ref counts 4. Callis applauds but he’s the only one. Knight drags Bailey up, but Bailey CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Bailey CHOPS Knight to the corner to CHOP again and again!

Bailey whips, Knight reverses, and Bailey hits buckles hard! Callis again says to keep on him, and Knight hurries to cover, TWO! Knight is annoyed with the ref, he and Callis both argue the count, then Knight clamps onto Bailey with an armlock. Bailey endures, Knight pushes on the double wristlock, but the fans rally up. They also seem to be telling Callis off. Bailey fights around, around, but Knight hammerlocks to keep Bailey down. Knight then ties up the legs for a modified Texas Cloverleaf! Bailey endures, fights around, but Knight shifts to cover, TWO! Bailey toughs it out, but Knight keep shim down with a chinlock.

And he’s here for one reason and one reason only: To get straight to the top and become #Jet2Belts! So MJF! Knight’s waiting on you. The Scumbag still has challengers chasing him left, right, and center, will he survive the Summer as champion?

Backstage interview with The Dogs.

Renee Paquette is now with David Finlay & Clark Connors and notes they had quite the week. They went after Cope & Cage, and are still celebrating given that champagne bottle in hand. 100 Proof says damn right! Cuz last week, they took out C&C, they are done. Then they reinvented the Five Second Pose! HAHA~! And then they beat the tar out of the Bang Bang Gang, #GunnsDown. So what’s not to celebrate? They’ve got some “Five Second Brews,” and even some “Five Second Kazoos!” Wait, really? Yep! Finlay plays the kazoo, toot toot toot, but then The Young Bucks step in. Nick Jackson says these two are just so annoying.

Who let The Dogs out, huh? Who, who, who? Matt Jackson says Nick can keep going, and Nick says we all saw what The Dogs did last week. It begs the question, what the dog doin’? Matt stops Nick’s memes there and says this is what they’re doing. The “new guys” are trying to make an impression, good for them, and they have, okay? But one issue The Bucks have is that The Dogs clearly think they’re next for the tag titles. No, that’s where they beg to differ. They don’t see those titles going to, honestly, Bullet Club’s worst leader ever, and Temu Hangman. Finlay keeps Connors from going after Matt, and Matt says it’s okay, it’s okay! They can fight it out!

Because if Matt recalls, The Bucks beat The Dogs as part of Stadium Stampede, so that should really make The Bucks the #1 contenders. The Bucks even brought their gear if you wanna do this tonight. Finlay says the #1 contenders wrestle when they feel like it. Finlay pops the cap on his bottle and The Dogs head out, and Matt says yeah, that’s right, walk away. When and where will The Dogs and The Bucks fight it out to then go after the belts?

Backstage interview with MJF.

The Scumbag is in the ice bath while Renee congratulates him on his win in that incredible match with Rush. But then afterward, Mark Briscoe calls his shot, what does MJF have to say about that? MJF says big shocker! Who doesn’t want a shot at the best pro-wrestler on God’s Green Earth? Who doesn’t want their opportunity? Zoom in on the belt. That is the #TripleB, the grandest, most precious, and most important championship in all of pro-wrestling, so color MJF shocked that the hick, Mark Briscoe, wants his chance at glory. Guess what, Mark! MJF tried explaining this, but since Mark’s awfully slow… MJF will make it real concise.

No match for you~, you bumpkin! That world title is for winners! For top guys! For guys like MJF, generational talents, and that Mark is not. MJF is the champion of the world, his word is his bond, his word is the law, what he says goes! And nobody in this company can trump him! So, for the last and final time, stop asking, cuz it ain’t happening. MJF relaxes in the tub, but will Briscoe force MJF’s hand?

2026 Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament: Alex Windsor VS ???

Wearing green just like her darling Billy Goat, the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion is looking to live the dream that is being part of All In: London! Willow Nightingale was to be her opponent, but injury removed her from action. Who is the “wild card” AEW is about to play? With a lot of pyro fanfare, it’s MERCEDES MONE! The CEO went on an expedition around the world to defend the massive amount of titles she had collected, lost them all, and is now back to reestablish herself! Will The Money Train get back on track and become a TWO-TIME Owen Hart Cup winner? Or will not even a decorated icon like Mone break Iron Will Windsor?

The bell rings and the fans cheer Mone’s return. They chant for “C E O! C E O!” as Mone and Windsor circle. They tie up, go around, and Mone puts Windsor in a corner. The ref counts, Mone throws a forearm before she backs off. Windsor brushes that off as she and Mone reset. They tie up but Mone THROWS Windsor down by her hair! Mone slaps Windsor around while talking trash. Mone runs, Windsor drops but Mone just steps on her. The fans are torn but Mone tosses her hair as she taunts Windsor. Windsor shrugs that off, resets with Mone, and waistlocks. Mone bucks the O’Conner, then rolls Windsor up, TWO!

Mone DROPKICKS Windsor, drags her to a cover, ONE! Windsor frowns but Mone brings her around to wrench and whip. Windsor goes up and over, then arm-drags Mone! And arm-drags again! Windsor DROPKICKS Mone down and the fans fire up again! Mone goes to a corner, Windsor runs up, but into a BOOT! Mone flying arm-drags, then keeps moving. Mone ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl and LA MYSTICA! STATEMENT MAKER! Windsor endures, reaches out, and fights her way forward, only for Mone to roll her away! Then STATEMENT MAKER on the other side! Windsor still endures as the fans still rally up!

Windsor pries at the hold, fights back to roll Mone, but Mone rolls through. Windsor stands, but into a BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Mone is frustrated already but the fans cheer. Mone snapmares Windsor, snapmares again, and the ref reprimands about using the hair. Mone runs to METEORA, but Windsor rolls through! Windsor has the legs, but Mone scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Mone kicks Windsor low, then Mone hurries to the apron. Windsor storms back up, ROCKS Mone, then has her in the ropes. Mone avoids the shoulder thrust to KNEE Windsor! Then NECKBREAKER HOTSHOT!

Windsor falls to apron then floor while the fans fire up! Mone aims, METEORA to the floor! Mone stands tall over Windsor while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Mone talks some trash before she drags Windsor up. Mone brings Windsor around, but Windsor fires body shots. Mone KNEES Windsor, then brings her over to look at the trophy and belt. Mone says those will be hers again, then she SLAPS Windsor down! Mone puts Windsor in the ring, pushes her down, and rains down forearms! Cover, ONE!! Windsor is tougher than that, but Mone paces around her. Mone drags Windsor up, whips her to a corner, then runs up. Mone blocks boots, puts Windsor in the ropes, then ROCKS her before the STOCK DROP! Cover, TWO! Windsor is tougher than that, and that just frustrates Mone.

Mone cools off and composes herself before she goes after Windsor again. Mone drags Windsor up just to kick her around, but Windsor fires body shots! Mone whips, Windsor reverses, and Windsor runs up, to then block boots in return! She puts Mone in the ropes, ENZIGIRIS, and DRAPING NECKBREAKERS! Cover, TWO! Mone toughs it out but Windsor stays fired up. Windsor drags Mone up, whips her to a corner, but Mone goes up, only to get caught going over! Windsor brings Mone around, but Mone flails free, BACKSTABBER again! Cover, TWO! Windsor survives and Mone has to take deep breaths to calm back down.

Mone nods as she goes back to Windsor, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Mone brings Windsor up for a snap suplex! That’s Una Amiga, and she rolls through to hit Dos Amigas! The fans fire up for THREE AMIGAS! Mone gives some Latina Heat, then she drags Windsor to a drop zone. The fans cheer as Mone goes up, but Windsor UPPERCUTS! And ICONOCLASM! Windsor runs to LARIAT! Then she keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, redirects, and she LARIATS Mone down! The fans fire up while Mone flounders away! Windsor goes to the apron and CANNONBALLS to the floor!

The fans fire up and Windsor brings Mone up. Windsor puts Mone in the ring, but Mone bails out the side. The fans boo but Windsor aims from the apron again. FLYING LARIAT! Down goes Mone and the fans fire up with “WINDSAAA~!” Windsor drags Mone up, puts her in the ring, and the fans duel as Windsor goes up. Windsor leaps but Mone catches her to wrench and suplex! Quatro Amigas! Cinco Amigas! And then SEIS- NO, Windsor wrenches out, pump handles, MADE IN JAPAN!! Cover, TWO!! Mone survives but Windsor stays on mission. Mone goes to a corner, Windsor runs up, but Mone BOOTS her away!

Windsor fires body shots, then CLUBS away on Mone! Windsor adjusts position up top and she SLAPS Mone! Windsor brings Mone up but Mone fights the lift! Mone fires body shots and CLUBS Windsor again! Windsor holds on, but Mone WOE STOMPS her down!! Cover, TWO!! Windsor survives and Mone has no idea how! But the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Mone goes to the far corner, runs up, and SUNSET BUCKLE BOMBS!

Mone shouts out her Role Model, then runs in again, but Windsor dodges the knee! Roll up, TWO! Mone Oklahoma Rolls, TWO! Windsor wrenches and clinches, MOUSE TRAP! TWO!! But Windsor is after legs! Mone BOOTS free, somersault clutches, TWO!! Windsor kicks, Mone blocks, and Mone KNEES Windsor! BACKSTABBER into STATEMENT MAKER!! Windsor endures, reaches out, but she TAPS! MONE WINS!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission (advances to the next round)

The CEO lets go when she wants to let go, then she poses by the pedestal with the trophy and belt. Mone picks up the belt already, will Mone win that belt back this year? Or will someone manage to derail the Money Train before the end?

Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada.

Renee is now with The Jackal and The Rainmaker, and says that was huge news earlier tonight with Kevin Knight officially joining The Don Callis Family. Callis says yes, everyone is talking about the Don Callis Family! He has recruited many top stars, but when you’re as successful as they are, he’s like a magnet for gold! It all just comes to them, and that’s what happened with the TNT Champion, Kevin Knight, who will become the greatest TNT Champion of all time, all with the help of the Don Callis Family.

And just minutes from now, Mark BAH GAWD Davis will go and break the stack o’ dimes chicken neck of Will Ospreay, put him in the ground, finish their business, and go on to win the Owen Hart Cup! Then the Don Callis Family will march lockstep into the main event of All In: London! But there’s one more piece of business. This man, Kazuchika Okada, the greatest wrestler bell to bell that Callis has ever seen, got screwed at Double or Nothing! They will not stand for it! Okada tells Konosuke Takeshita that he is nothing without the family! Okada’s International Championship does not belong in a backpack! And it won’t be there for long.

Callis says he loves it! Callis & Okada leave, their mission very clear. Will the Don Callis Family soon have it all in All Elite Wrestling?

Tommaso Ciampa speaks.

“Jericho, Jericho, Jericho. Where is Chris Jericho? Oh right, he’s home, still, because a Psycho Killer beat the hell out of him, and I will gladly do it again and again and again. Chris, you made your triumphant return to AEW, the fans welcomed you back with open arms, you finally defeated Ricochet, and then reality struck. What is that reality? While you were gone, Chris, Tommaso Ciampa arrived in AEW, and I quickly marked my territory. And what better way to plant my flag in the ground than to chop the head off the snake that is known as Jericho?

“But Chris, I am a patient man. A patient man with a long list. So stay away, lick your wounds. But if you do return, I will be waiting. That is, unless of course, I strike first, you stupid idiot.” Ciampa sneaks in a lot of references to Jericho’s many gimmicks, but will Jericho show Ciampa the true power of Y2J soon enough?

2026 Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament: Will Ospreay VS Mark Davis!

It was over a month ago that the Aerial Assassin had to be spared Dunkzilla’s wrath by medical stoppage, but in that time, Ospreay was helped by the unlikeliest of allies to not just rebuild, but to remake the man that is Will Ospreay. He now stands on #DeathGround, but will Ospreay stand his ground? Or can the AEW National Championship prove just how dangerous he can be?

The bell rings and both men run up! Ospreay dropkicks the legs out, PENALTY KICKS the arm, then he KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! Davis blocks a kick to CLUB the leg and CHOP Ospreay! Davis whips Ospreay, Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! The fans fire up for Ospreay as he then hurries after Davis. Ospreay climbs up, he pulls the eyepatch away, and he rains down fists on Davis’ bad eye! The fans count all the way to TEN! Ospreay then brings Davis out, but Davis scoops to SLAM! Davis snarls while he staggers, but he scoops again. Ospreay slips free, Davis ELBOWS Ospreay, then Davis runs, but into the TIGER WALL KICK and ENZIGIRI!

Ospreay runs, but Davis BACKDROPS him! Ospreay flounders, and Davis SENTONS! Davis roars, the fans boo, but he stalks Ospreay. Davis KICKS Ospreay in the back, drags him up, and has the cravat to go after the neck. Ospreay endures, but Davis snapmares and ROCKS him with a rabbit punch! Ospreay clutches the neck but he says he’s good. Davis has a top wristlock and he drags Ospreay into a COBRA TWIST! The fans rally for Ospreay as he endures, and Ospreay fires hands from below! Ospreay pops free to HIP- NO! Davis blocks the hip toss to hip toss, but Ospreay handsprings through! Ospreay then ducks ‘n’ dodges and handsprings to RED DOT GAMANGIRI!

The fans fire up as Ospreay goes to the apron. Ospreay aims, springboards, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Cover, TWO! Davis is tougher than that but Ospreay stays focused. Ospreay stalks Davis to the ropes, brings him up, and he wrenches through to ELBOW BREAKER! Ospreay whips Davis to ropes then DROPKICKS! Davis tumbles out, the fans sing for “Ospreay~, Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” as he aims. Davis avoids the plancha but Ospreay lands safe on the apron. Ospreay hurries to ROCK Davis with forearms, then he whips Davis, only for Davis to reverse! Ospreay hits barriers hard, then he slumps down. Davis drags Ospreay up, and brings him around!

Davis reels Ospreay in, lifts him up, but Ospreay fights the bomb! Ospreay goes to the apron, mule kicks, and he goes up the corner! But Ospreay has to stop as he sees Davis hurry around the way. The fans boo Davis tells the fans to shove it! Ospreay hops down, runs in from the other side, and he RANAS Davis! The fans fire up again and Ospreay brings Davis up. Ospreay SMACKS Davis off the desk, then CHOPS him! Davis sputters but Ospreay reels him in. TORNADO- NO! Davis stops the DDT to X PLEX Ospreay on the desk! Ospreay falls to the floor while the fans go nuts! Davis puts Ospreay in a corner of the railing to fire forearm after forearm!

Ospreay rises but Davis runs up! He hits the ropes for the REBOUND but Ospreay slips through! Takedown into DEATH GROUND!!! Davis flails, he TAPS!! OSPREAY WINS!!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (advances to the finals)

It was chaotic, but Ospreay was victorious! He is already emotional as he knows he has his spot at Forbidden Door! But will that door lead to Swerve’s House? Or will Ospreay be facing the King of Death in the Golden State?

My Thoughts:

An awesome Dynamite here as we’re now just three weeks away from Forbidden Door. There was some redundancy in having a promo from Rush and MJF to escalate things before then having Andrade encourage Rush, but I suppose you can’t have anything we got in that awesome title match without both promos. MJF winning mostly clean was a bit of a surprise, and I say “mostly” because both guys did use the bare buckles, and then there was the barrier spot. But naturally, we get wins from Andrade and Mark Briscoe so they have a claim to going after MJF. Briscoe sounds like he’ll be up first since the ice tub interview with MJF focused on Briscoe, and that’ll be a great match for Forbidden Door.

Kevin Knight joining Don Callis Family seems a little unnecessary, he was already getting good Heel Heat given what he did to Darby and to Bailey, but I guess it just adds easy heat given everyone loves to hate Callis. Great match from Knight VS Bailey, but of course the DCF get involved to help Knight win. Knight obviously still wants his shot, but he might be waiting a long time before he faces MJF again. Good promo from Callis & Okada to call out Konosuke, but it also seems like Konosuke still has to settle things with Kyle Fletcher given the way things went in the main event. I bet Konosuke beats Kyle as a somewhat tune-up before he and Okada face off at Forbidden Door.

Great promo from Thekla to set forth what Triangle of Madness is doing, aka going for everything, but also to heat things up between her and literally anyone from Stardom. I’ve only seen a few top names from Stardom via NJPW crossovers with them, but literally any of those same names could make for a great match with Thekla, and it doesn’t even have to be a title match. It could just be a showcase of Thekla and Stardom’s top Face to steal the show. Good promo from The Dogs and Bucks to set up their 2v2 match, but I would think The Dogs win so that Cope & Cage can get their payback at Forbidden Door or something like that.

Very good promo from Ciampa to call out Jericho, they’ll have a very good match, and I’m sure they’ll have a back and forth like Jericho did with Ricochet. They can even culminate it at All In or All Out for a big PPV blowoff. And great stuff in the Owen Hart Cup matches tonight. Mercedes Mone should’ve been a pretty obvious name for the wild card, it was about time for her return anyway. Great match with Windsor, and a great return win for Mone, so naturally she’s not a shoe-in for the finals, no matter if it’s Persephone or Hazuki meeting her next round.

Ospreay VS Davis was an awesome match made even more fun with the overbooking. Don Callis Family and Death Riders are finally gonna have it out somehow, so this was a great brawl from various members. I think a lot of this was because it felt obvious Ospreay was gonna win, so they needed to really up the chaos so that it wasn’t that obvious. But now that Ospreay is going to Forbidden Door, he surely wins the finals to go on to All In, it’s the only thing that would satisfy the fans.

My Score: 9.1/10
