PLAY BY PLAY

Jon Moxley speaks.

“I could apologize for losing my temper on Wednesday. The little redheaded kid didn’t deserve that. He’s a tough kid, I like him. But that would rob Will Ospreay of his responsibility, and that’s not fair. You’ve chosen a side of the line, you’ve chosen conflict with me, with The Death Riders. And there may be collateral. You’ve gotta be okay with that. Everything is your responsibility now, champ. This ain’t about anybody else, man. This is about…” Moxley motions to himself and the camera/Ospreay, meaning the 1v1. Moxley continues by saying that his problem with the match isn’t that he might lose, it’s that in all likelihood, he might win.

“Then what happens to Will Ospreay? The climb from the back of an ambulance in the O2 Arena all the way to the top of the world at Wembley Stadium, that was a long one. And that fall will be even longer. I don’t know if you have it in you to do it all over again. I can’t do it with you this time, man, I can’t be by your side. I already gave you everything that I have. I’ve given you everything, you worry about what I’ve taken from you! I GAVE YOU EVERTYHING I HAD! I gave you everything you need. I gave you the gift of friction.” Moxley paces as he says he has been to the highest highs, the dizzying highs where the air is thin in this sport.

And he has fallen all the way down, the lowest you can go, beneath the ground, into Hell. And Moxley has climbed all the way back up, and climbs every single day. Nobody understands like he does the cliff Ospreay is about to fall off of. The Aerial Assassin will be introduced to a simple, powerful truth of the universe: The pull is gentle at first, and then it pulls really hard. It’s called gravity! The Maniac heads out, focused on Chicago. But what about tonight’s main event, where he faces Zachary Wentz in a Title Eliminator?

AEW TNT Championship: Darby Allin VS Myron Reed!

In a similar situation, The Relentless One is preparing to go all out against Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight in a tag match alongside Steven Borden. But first, he is defending his title against a Rascal! Will Darby still be the Face of TNT? Or will Myron make sure TNT gets high from coast to coast?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the champ in Charleston!

It was a fast ‘n’ furious demolition derby, but Darby survives this Collision! Will Darby and Steven Borden be ready to go this far and then some at All Out? Speaking of, Borden and even Zachary Wentz appear out here, all making sure Myron is okay. Darby shows respect to Myron & Zach, the fans cheer, and The Rascalz move on. Darby then gets a mic, and he says, “Let’s give it up to Myron.” The fans cheer, and Darby says he doesn’t care if it is singles or tag team, Myron showed everyone that he belongs! And speaking of tag teams… Teaming with Sting was one of the greatest things Darby has done in his life.

And next Saturday, Darby & Borden have the opportunity to become #1 contenders to the championships Darby & Sting never lost. Borden may be new, but he doesn’t run from a challenge. FTR, The Young Bucks, everybody else, Darby & Sting ran through. But with Steve, Darby expects to do the same. At All Out, they’re jumping right into the fire. The fans cheer and Darby hands the mic to Steve. Steve knows how much winning the tag titles with his dad meant to Darby. And for Steve, he may be new to all of this… But whatever he has to offer, he just wants to tell everyone that he will lay all of it on the line to make sure Darby is tag team champion again.

The fans cheer, and Borden adds that if they can pull this off, at least for Borden, that’s two boxes checked. One: Being tag team champions. And two: Being champion with Darby as his tag partner. The fans cheer that, too, and Borden adds that next Saturday, in Chicago, All Out, they’re gonna take that #1 contender’s spot! And after that? They’ll go take those tag titles! Darby & Steve are ready, but will they be able to ground #ProtoJet? Or will the Don Callis Family get one step closer to taking more gold?

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.

The Don Callis Family regrouped backstage, namely Kazuchika Okada, Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, and the Jackal himself. Callis says they did not lose anything tonight. Stokely and his idiotic strategy did! Callis’ boys are still pristine! In fact, Kyle & Kevin are so great, they should be in that ladder match for the tag titles. But next best thing is beating Darby & Steve to bring those belts home. Knight says he likes that vision. He can admit, he didn’t trust teaming with the flamingo here, but they’ve had good success. They’ve both had trios gold in AEW, they’ve both had singles gold, but what they haven’t had is tag team gold. Time to rectify that situation.

Kyle says he hadn’t thought of that before, that is a lovely point. And he is happy to get onboard. As Kevin said, Kyle didn’t trust the vision, but admittedly, they are working very well together. Callis loves it. Kyle says he will trust Callis. All they need now is to beat Steve & Darby, and they will cake walk them at All Out! Then they bring the tag gold back to the family. Which might be needed after All Out, because if Okada fairs how he did with Ciampa tonight… Maybe the International Championship won’t be in the family. Okada stands up, then looks to the camera. He tells Ciampa to be careful what he wishes for. Because if you want The Rainmaker, now you’ve got him!

But Ciampa won’t be taking this title! Okada then tells Ciampa off in Japanese, and Knight says hell yeah! The Don Callis Family is gearing up, but will they be victorious in Chicago?

The Bang Bang Gang meets backstage.

While the others are discussing Ace Austin’s super thighs, Juice Robinson steps in and blows a whistle. “Gentlemen! Our current record is nothing to be proud of. Last week, we lost an 8 Man under normal pro-wrestling rules.” Ace quickly points out the other side didn’t follow the rules. Juice says, “But we’re still a team. And lucky for us, our boss is the owner of an undefeated NFL football team! So I say in the spirit of brand synergy, we challenge The Dogs & The Death Riders to a Tailgate Brawl, ON TAILGATE BRAWL! Under the watchful eye of Coach Juice, we’ve got Austin & Colten playing defense!” Colt vows to defend, because he has a great D! Austin says yes, The Gunns have the best D!

Juice says Ace is the tight end! Yes, he has- is a tight end! And of course, the quarterback is The Switchblade, Jay White! White say she doesn’t know the rules of American football. Doesn’t matter! Next Saturday, anything goes! No 15 yard penalties! We don’t need those little yellow flags! And there’s gonna be all kinds of unnecessary roughness! You boys wanna play man to man? Great! They like to play zone! Who are they? BANG BANG GANG! Clap, clap, tss! And if you ain’t down with that, they got two words for ya: FOOT BALL! The Bang Bang Gang is ready for gametime, but will it be a touchdown in Chi Town? Or will it be more like a butt fumble?

Willow Nightingale is here!

Charleston cheers The Babe with the Power as she joins commentary, ready to watch a certain Toxic Spider with her own two eyes. Thekla and Willow are on their own collision course for All Out, will Thekla send a message here tonight? Or will she learn that Zayda Steel really is the Real Deal?

Collision returns as Willow helps coach Zayda up. Zayda flounders at the desk, Thekla taunts her and Willow, then goes out to fetch Zayda. Thekla tells Willow to stop talking to Zayda, it isn’t gonna help. Thekla puts Zayda in the ring before she talks more trash with Willow. Willow says she’s right here, take a shot! Thekla says she doesn’t hit cripples, mocking the bad hand. But then Thekla turns around and Zayda WRECKS her with a dropkick! The fans fire up as Zayda puts Thekla in, and Zayda hurries to bring Thekla around. Zayda whips, Thekla makes it to the corner, and Zayda runs up. Thekla BOOTS her, then goes up!

Thekla reels Zayda into the SPIDER HEADSCISSORS! The ref counts. Thekla lets go while still hanging upside-down. Thekla then steps inside, looms over Zayda, and drags her up. Thekla runs, but Zayda hits a THESZ PRESS! Zayda rains down fast hands, and she drags Thekla up! Zayda ROCKS Thekla again and again with a flurry, then KNEES low!

The ref reprimands but the damage is done! Zayda runs up, Thekla goes Matrix! Thekla then spider walks, and she runs up, SPIDER SPEAR!! Cover, but Thekla picks Zayda up?! Willow is upset by that, but Thekla wants to indeed send that message! CURB STOMP!! Cover, Thekla wins!

Winner: Thekla, by pinfall

A valiant effort from Zayda, but she just could not survive the Toxic Spider. Thekla stares Willow down and vice-versa. These two are going to go All Out, but who will get to live their WrestleDream?

The fans boo all over again, and Marina has Bailey in a full nelson! But The Bang Bang Gang rushes out here! The Collision Cowboys brawl with The Death Dogs!! The fans fire up for this pregame to the Tailgate Brawl as it is all over the ring! Refs and security rush out here but the fans say “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Well, these teams will fight next week in the Tailgate Brawl, but who survives going All Out?

Jack Perry speaks.

Jungle Jack walks through the woods as he says, “Everything you’ve ever dreamed of is right on the other side of the unknown. No maps, no guarantees. But you’ve come too far now to turn back. You must walk with the killers. You must face the best to become the best.” Jack literally leaves his mark, but will he get the fight he wants?

The Opps respond.

Hook stands with Anthony Bowens & Action Andretti as he tells Jack, “I’ve known you real well for a real long time. I never once thought of you as a stupid person. But you’re calling out Samoa Joe. Brother, what we doing here?” The ROH World TV Champion says Jack is doing a lot of yapping for a guy who is biting off more than he can chew. Jack needs to be careful what he wishes for. Jack was playing arts ‘n’ crafts on Dynamite, but he was really writing his own fate. Bowens also asks what we’re doing here. They appreciate Jack’s ambition of trying to fight all the former AEW World Champions, but when his dumbass decided to smear Joe’s name on the wall, well, The Opps had a little bit of a different idea.

Action takes the camera and Katsuyori Shibata steps up. Hook says Shibata is a highly decorated champion, and a certified killer. Everything Jack says he’s looking for, it’s right here. So if Jack wants to talk to Joe, maybe get through Shibata first. Will Jungle Jack be able to hang with The Wrestler? Or will his mission of rising to the top stop already?

Queen Aminata & Mina Shirakawa VS Emily Jaye & Georgia South!

The One True African Queen & The Fighting Gravure Idol have been teaming up for a little while, but it was Aminata who came out on top in their friendly yet fierce 1v1 last week.

The teams sort out and Queen starts against Monarch. They tie up, go around, and Georgia wrenches to wristlock. Aminata wrenches, waistlocks, then headlocks. Aminata wrenches to ELBOW BREAKER, but Georgia rolls, spins, and handsprings up. Georgia wrenches to wristlock, but Aminata makes her do the arm wave. It comes back, and that lets Aminata tag Mina! Mina gets the wave going and Aminata uses it to short arm LARIAT Georgia! The fans cheer, and Mina does her own wave. Mina then runs to basement DROPKICK! Cover, but Emily breaks it up! Mina ROCKS Emily, Aminata ROCKS Georgia, and they double whip.

Emily & Georgia reverse, but Mina & Aminata both duck to slide and shimmy! The fans cheer, but Emily & Georgia run up! Mina & Aminata both duck under boots, then ELBOW Emily & Georgia!

Undefeated as a duo, could Aminata & Mina be waiting on the other side of All Out and the Women’s World Tag Team Championship match?

Nick Wayne speaks.

“Nick Wayne almost beat Chris Jericho. And of course, it pisses me off that I lost the match. But what really pissed me off was after the match. You (Jericho) tried to get me to shake your hand like I’m some kind of rookie? Like I don’t know what this is all about? You would shake my hand and raise my arm to make it seem like it’s some kind of big honor to be in the ring with Chris Jericho. But I see right through you, Chris. On Wednesday, you didn’t teach me a damn thing. In fact, I think I taught you a thing or two when I left you laying in the middle of that ring after that match. So here’s something to think about, Chris: Maybe it’s you that doesn’t know what you don’t know. Right?”

The Prodigy has a big smile on his face, but will things only escalate between him and Y2J?

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Zachary Wentz!

The Maniac said himself that he gave everything he had into helping Will Ospreay, but now he fears he must put everything he has into ending the Era of Ospreay. However, can he still give 100% to this championship? Or will he owe this Rascal a golden opportunity?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Moxley as he and Zach circle. They tie up, go around, and Moxley slips around to waistlock.

Moxley talks a bit of trash, then waits as Zach rises up. Zach goes to a corner, Moxley runs in, and Moxley ROCKS Zach! Moxley climbs up, and he digs his knuckles into Zach’s face! The ref reprimands, but Moxley shifts to raining down punches! Moxley goes to THIRTEEN, then BITES Zach on the forehead! The ref reprimands again, Moxley stops, and he hops back. Zach falls over, and Moxley paces around. Moxley storms up to Zach, but Zach UPPERCUTS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Zach kicks, Moxley blocks, and Moxley trips Zach to then stomp him in the stomach!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (denies Zachary Wentz a title opportunity)

Moxley crosses another name off the list, and The Death Riders are here to celebrate with him! Not sure what happened with the music, though… Will everything come up Death Riders in Chicago? Or will Ospreay finally close the book on this story?

My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, though it felt like a bit like a go-home with the video packages and recaps they put here and there. I suppose that’s because next week, they’re doing another three-hour Dynamite-Collision super show. So technically, it’s a three hour (maybe longer because they love doing overrun) Dynamite and not a Collision at all. All those technicalities aside, we sure got a lot of the Death Riders tonight. Adam Priest looked great even in losing to Pac, and Speedball got a solid win over Yuta. Andrade VS Garcia was a great match, show-stealing even, but I figured Andrade would win. Andrade VS Pac for the National title will be great stuff, but I would think Andrade gets a PPV win while still biding his time for the world title.

Very good promo from Moxley to call out Ospreay, and also a really good main event from him and Zach. But yeah, Moxley was winning this, kinda undercut the point of it being the main event. And seriously, AEW technical staff still can’t run these shows perfectly, that theme song mishap was weird. Bang Bang Gang had a great promo to set up the Tailgate Brawl Tag, and they might have a good chance of winning that if they’re up against The Dogs and I would think like Yuta & Garcia. I just wonder what the various members of Bang Bang Gang are supposed ot do title wise with all these other stories going on.

Great opening from Darby VS Myron, Myron also had a great showing even in losing. Good promo from Darby to give Myron his flowers, but to also hype the tag match. Good promo from the Don Callis Family as part of that, and I’m glad to see they decided to officially make it a #1 contenders match. Okada also had a good bit where he’s getting serious again to face Ciampa. Good promo from Nick Wayne, and yeah, we’re definitely getting more from him and Jericho. As I said on Dynamite, I really hope the big moment in their blowoff is a black bag of puka shell necklaces. Good promo from Jack Perry, and good promo from The Opps. Jack VS Shibata will be really good, and I think Jack wins to then get his chance at Samoa Joe.

Good squash match for Mina & Aminata to win, and it feels like they’re kinda the only team to go for the tag titles after All Out. AEW needs to work on rebuilding that division, we’ve got Harley & Kris back, now there’s also the combo of Britt & Perse or even Perse & Shida, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Thekla of course beat Zayda, but Zayda looked great even in defeat. Willow VS Thekla is still up in the air, maybe the super show on Wednesday has one more segment to give us the go-home math.

My Score: 8.8/10
