Raw begins its 2018 finale with steel and pain!
Steel Cage Match: Dolph Ziggler VS Drew McIntyre!
Once a dynamic and dominant duo, The Show-Off and Scottish Terminator have had a roller coaster 2018. Things would then fall apart as McIntyre would turn on Ziggler for being the dead weight dragging him down. Who closes out the year proving to the other who was really the weak link in the team?

McIntyre kicks a leg out and Ziggler crotches on the rope. But then Ziggler shakes the ropes and McIntyre crotches, too! Both men fall down and we go to break.
Raw returns and McIntyre is again egging Ziggler on. McIntyre SLAPS Ziggler back down, then taunts him with the ropes. Finn Balor watches backstage as Ziggler slaps back!

McIntyre won’t end it here, “I told you there wasn’t enough room here for both of us.” He suplexes Ziggler into the steel! McIntyre says Ziggler begged for this, so this is what he gets. “I refuse to let it be over.”

McIntyre “In case you didn’t know already, my name is Drew McIntyre, and I am the king of the Raw jungle.” McIntyre tells Ziggler he could’ve walked away, but Ziggler kept sniffing around for scraps. Ziggler is nothing but dead weight, and does not deserve McIntyre’s leftovers.
But now McIntyre ends that chapter, and he focuses on what really matters. He’ll go from being the king of Raw to the king of WWE, because he vows to win The Royal Rumble and finally fulfill destiny by becoming Universal Champion! Wait, Ziggler stands back up, and eggs McIntyre on again!? So McIntyre goes in for a third Claymore! McIntyre leaves Ziggler for dead, will he do the same to whoever he meets in the Royal Rumble match?
A limousine arrives.
And riding inside, is Shane O’Mac! And Triple H! The brothers-in-law of the Authority walk–and shuffle–into the arena. What will they have to say on the last Raw of 2018?
Superstars share New Year’s Resolutions!
Finn Balor knows that any time his name’s brought up, it’s about being the inaugural Universal Champion. Finn is proud of that accomplishment, but he wants to soon be the new Universal Champion.
Ember Moon says 2019 is the year she proves the nickname #Shenom is more than just a name. She vows to do this by winning the Women’s Royal Rumble match and going on to Wrestlemania!
The Ascension want to bring back Fashion Files 2019! No, no, no! It’s to be the Tag Team Champions. Oh, that’s much better actually.
Lucha House Party will make 2019 their year with even more “Lucha! Lucha!”
Will any of these resolutions come true? Or will they sadly be dropped and forgotten?
Seth Rollins heads to the ring!
The Architect always managed to #BurnItDown in 2018, but he still has lingering issues with the Lunatic Fringe. Detroit is happy to see Rollins, and he’s happy to see them all fired up. But to be honest, Rollins isn’t big on New Year’s Resolutions. Life moves too fast for that, especially in the WWE. Every week and every day is a fresh start. And Rollins isn’t waiting for the ball to drop, he wants to start a party right now! Rollins has a rematch coming for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and he wants it now! Fans want to see that, too, but instead it’s Triple H who come out! The Game goes to the ring and stands face to face with Rollins.
These two have history, but HHH heard what Rollins said. That “fresh start” at life to do anything you want. Nothing is truer than that for WWE. But that means there are no more automatic rematch clauses. So Rollins’ match with Ambrose is not happening. And to be honest, HHH isn’t sure Rollins deserves such a rematch. HHH takes no pleasure in telling Rollins that, because he was always his most vocal supporter. Cut the crap, Hunter! You only believed when Rollins was a puppet. Is that what Rollins thinks? HHH defends that Rollins made him believe in Rollins. When Rollins told everyone he was going to be the face of Raw, HHH was made to believe that. When Rollins said he was going to be The Man, HHH was made to believe that. Rollins took what he wanted and made HHH believe in him,
And for a moment when HHH didn’t believe, that was when Rollins took him to Wrestlemania and in front of the entire world, he kicked HHH’s ass until he believed again! SO where is that Seth Rollins? Because all HHH sees is a “shell” asking for stuff. Rollins isn’t asking! Has HHH not been watching? Rollins has been carrying Raw for the last year! When Lesnar was wherever doing what whatever Lesnar does, Rollins was churning out classics with Balor, Ziggler and even Mojo Rawley. Yet HHH thinks Rollins is asking? Well fine, Rollins is glad there’s no more handouts, because he’s going to earn this shot. Does HHH want to see the “ruthless bastard” again!? “Yes.”
And HHH wants it to start tonight, #BurnItALLDown against Bobby Lashley! Rollins will burn Bobby, and then he’ll burn Ambrose! And anyone else who gets in his way, even Brock Lesnar or the McMahon Family!! Shane McMahon comes out now to defuse the situation between HHH and Rollins. Shane wants HHH to not amp Rollins up to the point of burning this place down. And Shane tells Rollins to get ready for that match with Bobby Lashley. And Dean Ambrose will be facing someone tonight, and it’ll be the winner of the #FreshStart Battle Royal, which starts next! The first one out for that is FINN BALOR! Will Balor Club get its #FreshStart at the end of 2018?
Fresh Start Battle Royal!
The Extraordinary Man is joined by No Way Jose, The Ascension, the Lucha House Party and even Baron Corbin, all with an equal chance of winning a shot at the Lunatic Fringe’s Intercontinental Championship. The Lone Wolf is in the foulest mood of everyone in the ring, but will that help him win his way back to prominence?

Both men end up dizzy, and Apollo Crews lifts Jose! Apollo throws Jose out, and then throws Viktor out, Apollo ELIMINATES them both. The B-Team goes after Apollo but he puts them both on the apron!

Corbin knees Finn down and grinds his boot in. Ryder headbutts Hawkins and works together with Apollo and Corbin. Titus fights off all three Lucha House Party members, and then throws Kalisto to the apron. Metalik and Lince help Kalisto, and they drag Titus out! Lucha House Party ELIMINATES Titus, and we go to break!
Raw returns and Finn fights off Lucha House Party. Kalisto wheelbarrows but Finn throws him into Lince. Finn turns around into Metalik’s kick, then Metalik climbs up. Metalik walks the rope, but Finn shoves him out, Finn ELIMINATES Metalik! Finn then dumps Kalisto to the apron, and dumps Lince out beside him. Finn goes for their fingers but the luchadores help each other stay up. But Finn boots and ELIMINATES Kalisto, then throws Lince out onto his amigos! Finn ELIMINATES Lucha House Party all by himself! But now Baron Corbin goes after him again! The two brawl, while Ryder works on the B-Team. Corbin clotheslines Finn over and over, but then Finn sends him into the post!
The B-Team brawl with Apollo, and Apollo lifts Bo Dallas. Curt Axel saves BO to throw Apollo tot he apron. But Apollo shovels The B-Team up and out and ELIMINATES them both!

That’s seven!

Finn chops Hawkins and dropkicks Corbin. Hawkins swings but runs into an elbow drop DDT! Ryder runs into a takedown and stomps! But Corbin throws Finn out and ELIMINATES him!! Corbin gets revenge on Finn, but then runs into Ryder’s boots. Ryder hits a missile dropkick! Ryder hits a forearm smash then throws more forearms in the corner. Fans are fired up and “WOO WOO WOO!” Broksi– ELIMINATION! Corbin, Apollo and Hawkins are the Final Three! And Corbin grins at Mr. Losing Streak. Hawkins throws hands and fans fire up! Corbin knees low and throws Hawkins to the apron, but Hawkins holds on!
Hawkins shoulders back in, then drags Corbin over the top rope! Fans fire up for Hawkins, but Corbin drags himself back in. Corbin throws and ELIMINATES Hawkins! But Apollo is right on Corbin! Corbin fights him off and throws Apollo tot he apron. Apollo hits back then climbs up. Apollo leaps in, rolls through, but Corbin grabs him. Corbin lifts but Apollo slips through the choke slam to send Corbin at the corner. Corblin slides out under the bottom rope then back in, but into an enziguri! Another enziguri ELIMINATES Corbin! Apollo Crews wins!!
Winner: Apollo Crews; will face Dean Ambrose for the WWE Intercontinental Championship later tonight
Is this it?! Is this the night the rising star finally reaches a mountain peak?! Apollo Crews will test himself again against the Lunatic Fringe, will his New Year be golden?
In-ring interview with Apollo Crews!
The title match is set, what’s going through his head? This is what Apollo has been wanting for so long. It took 364 days, but the moment is here! And Apollo can’t think of a better way to end 2018 than becoming the new Intercontinental Champion! Will his New Year’s Resolution come true before 2019 even starts?
Backstage interview with Natalya.
The Queen of Harts reviews footage of her match with friend and Raw Women’s Champion, Ronda Rousey. Natty got Ronda to get serious and fight her like a real opponent. As such, Ronda got the better of Natty with the armbar. What does Natty plan for 2019? She isn’t sure. 2018 was so powerful, but full of such great things, too. Natty’s match with Ronda really pushed them both and it was just magical. She would love another chance at Wrestlemania, so Natty enters the Women’s Royal Rumble! But then Nia Jax comes over to mock the BFF’s. What if Ronda isn’t champion then? What if something derails her plans? Tamina attacks from the other end! And then they both throw Natty into a trunk!
Security gets Nia and Tamina to stop, and they taunt “Where’s your best friend now, Natty?” Will the Samoan Dynasty regret attacking Ronda’s friend while she’s away? Or are they the obstacle neither Natty nor Ronda can get past on the Road to Wrestlemania?
Baron Corbin is still in the ring.
And he complains that the battle royal wasn’t fair. He is more deserving of a fresh start than anyone else. But that’s the problem. He tried to please the fans as GM and all fans did was boo! Baron had to deal with egos and the pressures from the administration. Corbin deserves an award. But instead, Elias appears and plays Auld Lang Syne for the New Year. “Brothers and sisters, I’ve got one question for everybody here tonight: Who Wants to Walk With Elias?!” Detroit does! And Corbin’s time is up, because the New Year’s Rocking Eve with Elias is now. Elias doesn’t invite losers to his party so Corbin has to go. Fans tell Corbin “You’re a Loser!”
Corbin says the fans are the losers, but Elias goes into detail. When Corbin was GM, it was his plan to never bring Raw to “a depraved and rundown city like Detroit.” But Elias talked with Kid Rock, and they both agree: Corbin running his mouth ain’t no way to bring in the new year. And Detroit is making a comeback! Elias will resurrect Detroit like never before. Because everyone knows WWE really means “Walk With Elias!” Now obviously Elias has a song to sing, so if Corbin isn’t going to leave, just please silence phone, hold applause and most importantly shut your mouth!
Elias begins, “Baron Corbin be forgot, please just go away~! You ruined Raw, now Elias will save Mondays.” He hears Corbin speak and gets in a bad mood. Whoever said Corbin’s entertaining should be sued. Corbin lost his job, such a pity. But Elias doesn’t really care, because we’re in Detroit Rock City! Sing, “Detroit Rock City~!” Corbin gets out of the ring, and we have a brawl! Corbin throws Elias into the barriers, then over into the crowd. Elias gets up and Corbin pursues, only to get kicks. They brawl more, and Corbin throws Elias into the front row! Elias throws a drink back! Elias brings the fight back to Corbin and they brawl right in front of the fans. Corbin gets away, but Elias sees Corbin coming from the timekeeper’s area and clobbers him! Then he uses a spare trunk to squish Corbin against the barriers!
Elias climbs on the trunk to club away on Corbin! Fans are fired up with Elias as he stands above Corbin. Corbin retreats but Elias pursues to throw him back to ringside. Corbin continues his retreat and gets away from Elias. Will this grudge continue into the new year? Who else will #WalkWithElias in 2019?

But Strowman has his next shot at the Royal Rumble. Will The Monster conquer the Beast and finally have the gold he wants?
Seth Rollins VS Bobby Lashley w/ Lio Rush!
The Game dared The Architect to be that “ruthless bastard” he was before, and burn down anyone in his way. Rollins looks to take up that challenge against the Rocky Mountain Machine to close out the year. Will Rollins still #BurnItDown and blaze a path back to the WWE Intercontinental Championship?
Lio Rush says “If there was any man hungrier for a fresh start in 2019, it’s the Almighty Bobby Lashley.” This man was handpicked by HHH. Why? Because Lashley isn’t here to pose, he’s here to fight! “The world must’ve forgotten exactly who Bobby Lashley is. But luckily for you, Seth, you get to find out firsthand.” And after being dominated, Rollins will see Lashley’s favorite pose, as will the entire worthless city of Detroit!

The reunion didn’t work out like Slater & Rhyno wanted, but 2019 is a new year. Will they get back on track in the Tag Team Division? Or is their fresh start already ending?
Dean Ambrose speaks.
“Fresh starts. Everybody seems to be talking about this ‘fresh start’ from the McMahon Family.” But the Lunatic doesn’t need a fresh start. Seth Rollins needs one, though. Did you see how angry he was? He doesn’t look well. Ambrose feels a little sorry for him. But as the Moral Compass of Raw, it is still his obligation to burn down what Rollins holds dear. And fans think this is Apollo Crews’ feel good moment, huh? Ambrose hates those kinds of moments. He will make it his duty to make sure Apollo’s fresh start has a rotten end.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Dean Ambrose VS Apollo Crews!
The Lunatic Fringe vows to guide the WWE down the right path, but he himself seems to be going down the wrong one. However, he won’t have to worry about Seth Rollins cashing in a rematch clause in this “fresh start” era. But that also means he can’t use one himself, so he needs to be careful against Apollo Crews. Will Apollo get a major upset to close out the year? Or will he only be upset after Ambrose gets through with him?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we begin! Apollo dropkicks Ambrose right down and throws hands in a corner! The ref counts and Apollo backs off. Apollo whips but Ambrose reverses, only for Apollo to handspring up and over! Ambrose runs, but things speed up and Apollo hits a back elbow. Apollo walks into a boot, then Ambrose chops.

Alexa Bliss speaks.
“We’ve seen a lot of changes on Monday Night Raw, between the announcement of the Women’s Tag Titles, brand new talent on the way, and of course, the return of The McMahon Family.” The Goddess will miss running the Women’s Division, but in her short term, she made history. And thanks to the McMahons, she’ll make even more history. Next week will be the premiere of her own talk show, A Moment of Bliss! And the first ever woman talk show host will have her very first guest: Ronda Rousey! Alexa knows Ronda loves Roddy Piper, but make sure you dress appropriate.

Another great win for the Baddest Woman on the Planet, and alongside her good friend to boot! With 2018 ending strong, will 2019 be the same for Ronda? Or are her toughest challenges still to come?
My Thoughts:
A really good Raw to finish the year. This “fresh start” seems to be showing more of itself now. First, I was really surprised to see them start with the Steel Cage Match, but I suppose it made sense in a lot of ways. It has the most time to breathe if it starts the show, which allowed it to be a great match, and then there was time for McIntyre to brutalize Ziggler afterward, which really added to everything. McIntyre wants to win the Royal Rumble, as anyone would, but expect Ziggler to put his name in the match and at the very least make sure McIntyre doesn’t win. Rollins has a great promo with HHH and Shane, and it is now official that there are no rematch clauses ever again.
The Battle Royal was great, and I guess it’s fine that Finn didn’t win. Apollo got a great push right here, but sadly it was clear he wasn’t going to win. Rollins has a great match with Lashley, and that includes the cat ‘n’ mouse with Lio, and I liked Rollins going off. This isn’t a Heel turn, this is him getting a new edge that he might need to either get back at Ambrose or get past Lesnar. Ambrose and Apollo had a great match, but again it was clear Apollo wasn’t going to get the win. Fresh start or not, the story dictates Rollins and Ambrose get their blow-off before anyone else takes that title. When that title goes to someone else, that is when the fresh start will truly lock in.
However, the fresh start hasn’t changed everything yet. We still got a silly filler match in Slater-Rhyno VS Mahal & Singhs. It seems Raw wants the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champions to struggle even into 2019. With Roode-Gable VS The Revival next week for the titles, things could shake up in the Tag Division real quick. If The Revival win and no rematch clauses, I hope Slater & Rhyno get another “I’ve got kids!” type push so that they at least get a match for the titles. Then in the Women’s Division on Raw, we got another Six Woman Tag, but at least it was really good. Clearly Sasha & Bayley are on the rise towards the Women’s Tag Titles, but I kinda hope it’s a swerve so that a SmackDown team gets it to start. I still want my ridiculous contender system to pan out, too, but that’s wishful thinking.
Ronda & Natty VS Nia & Tamina in the main event was pretty good. For one, it’s women closing Raw, so that’s great. Naturally Ronda & Natty win, it sends everyone home for the New Year’s happy. Nia & Tamina are still strong contenders from Raw’s side for those Women’s Tag Titles. The Raw Women’s Championship is still in question, but this can still be steered towards Ronda VS Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania. Ronda will likely address the issue of her challenger during the premiere of Alexa’s new talk show. I, for one, look forward to seeing the sassy Goddess make this transition in the event she’s not coming back to in-ring action.
My Score: 8.1/10

Attitude Of Aggression #350- The Big Five Project: Royal Rumble ’97
The Big Five Project returns as the Attitude Era hits its stride with Stone Cold Steve Austin winning his first Royal Rumble Tune in!
On this special 350th Episode of the show, the Big Five Project returns as we enter the year PC Tunney has been looking forward to for a very long time. 1997 is here and so to is the Attitude Era. More or less anyway. We begin what will surely be an epic run of episodes here on the Big Five Project with Royal Rumble ’97. It was a night that saw the WWE return to a stadium as over 61,000 fans packed the Alamodome in San Antonio to see the boyhood dream come true all over again as Shawn Michaels reclaimed the WWF Championship from Sycho Sid. But it was also the night that saw “Stone Cold’ Steve Austin capture the first of his three Royal Rumble wins, and the most controversial of all of them as Austin was eliminate, but the refs never saw it. Austin’s victory would set off a wild chain reaction of events that would completely shift the landscape for WrestleMania XIII. In reality, the entire evening was a who’s-who of huge players in WWF at the time, even if they still were not quite fully aligned with the gimmicks that would launch the industry into the stratosphere. It was an epic night in every sense of the word so come with us deep into the heart of Texas and celebrate as the Attitude Era begins to hit its stride with Royal Rumble ’97!

The Death Riders speak.
It was after AEW Dynamite on Wednesday that Jon Moxley said, “Every time I step into the ring with Kyle O’Reilly, I can’t find a way to win. It’s been failure after failure after failure. Kyle O’Reilly has tapped me out, twice. Ipso facto, Kyle O’Reilly will be the new Continental Champion. You might think. But the Jon Moxley of six months ago is not the same as Jon Moxley of today. Who I will be tomorrow is better than who I am today. Logic and strategy would dictate that I should stay as far away from Kyle O’Reilly as I can. Because there’s no doubt about it, Kyle, you have my number.
The thing about this Continental Championship, it’s good bait. All the dragons I wanna slay come right to my door. I will do what I’ve done for 22 years surviving in this business, Kyle: I’m gonna find a way.” The Maniac heads out, and Claudio Castagnoli steps forward to tell Brody King that Brody always brings the bark. But if he steps in the ring with Claudio in the Owen Hart Tournament, he better bring the bite. Pac then says, “Nobody gets special treatment. It doesn’t matter who you are, Death Riders against the world.” Daniel Garcia says yeah, let’s get it! Yuta repeats, “Against the world.” Marina Shafir tells the world, “Bring it, you p*ssies!”

Will Ospreay speaks.
It was also after Dynamite that The Aerial Assassin told Samoa Joe, “My apologies for not getting back to any of your messages, been a little bit busy training and getting myself ready for The Owen. Surprised to see you there in the opening round, mate. It’s gonna be a tough one. But if you can just bear with me for a hot second while I explain to you… Six months of my life got taken away from me, mate. Six months, I’ve been sitting in front of a TV screen, watching AEW, looking at it, trying to get my strength back in my arms, rushing to get back. That’s six months of frustration, six months of anger. And then I finally had my kill shot on Dynasty, and I lost.
“And ever since then, man, I’ve been struggling with my matches. Doc even stopped one for my own safety. I’m annoyed that I didn’t get revenge on Jon. But I’m more upset at the idea that I can’t be the guy that AEW put their trust in once upon a time. Regardless of how I feel about Jon, regardless of how I feel about The Death Riders, there’s nothing that I can say that’ll make people ever understand. But Jon Moxley is the Ace, he’s a soldier for this place. And while his methods might be sick, there are people who stand up to see him get elevated. So what could it happen with him in my corner?
“Joe, I’ve got nothing but respect for ya. Everything that you’ve done in this industry. Mate, you were in the match that made me want to become a pro-wrestler. But no one, no one, is stopping me from winning The Owen. And I find it very poetic that the man takt took away my old life has given me a second chance of capturing the world championship.” The Billy Goat is ready to become something more, but will Samoa Joe make sure Ospreay goes Double or Nothing and loses?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy Nair congratulates them on their win tonight, and brings up that Moxley has accepted Kyle’s challenge. Kyle says yes, Moxley is right, Kyle has his number. But facing Moxley has been the biggest test of Kyle’s career, so what’s one more test? This Wednesday, it’s a title eliminator, and after Kyle makes Moxley submit again, he is putting all his chips in and goes Double or Nothing! Briscoe says damn right, Kyle. And speaking of Dynamite, Tommaso Ciampa, Briscoe put it plain and clear, but he hasn’t heard a word from Ciampa! If Ciampa’s scared, he should just say it! Cassidy says Willow needs to say something.
Willow says sure, okay. Great job, guys, really. But for her, Double or Nothing, it will be TRIPLE or nothing, because she has THIS bad boy, the TBS Championship! But she’s also coming for The Owen, and the World Championship! As for tonight, Red Velvet may have beaten Willow to qualify for The Owen, but that won’t happen tonight. Welcome back to AEW, time to meet the Comeback Killer. Lexy says by the way, that match is next. Willow fires up, hurries off to make her entrance, but will she be ready to cook with The Chef?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Red Velvet!
Before making her entrance, the ROH Women’s World TV Champion tells Willow, “The Comeback Killer,” that she’s still salty that Willow is in The Owen and Velvet is not. Tonight, she takes out all her frustrations every time she stirs it up and punches Willow in the face. Yeah, Velvet beat Willow before. And in fact, she’ll beat Willow for that TBS title right now!
The introductions are made, the teal belt is raised, and we see if The Babe with The Power is still the Face of TBS!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Willow powers Velvet to a corner, and the ref counts. Willow backs off, and she flexes as she fires the fans up. The two reset, tie up, and Willow SHOVES Velvet away. Velvet is frustrated as she comes back and resets with Willow again. Velvet then slips around Willow, waistlocks, but Willow wrenches out. Velvet wrenches back, top wristlocks, but Willow stays up. Velvet kicks and TRIPS Willow, then steps over to LEG DROP on the arm scissor! The fans rally as Willow rolls and stacks Velvet, TWO! Willow gut wrenches, but Velvet slips through! Willow ducks, but the superkick still scuffs her!
Willow says okay, okay, and she resets with Velvet. The fans rally behind Willow as she offers a handshake. Velvet accepts, but then arm- NO! Willow stops the arm-drag, and the next one, then whips Velvet to RUN her over! Willow fires up, the fans cheer, and things keep moving. Velvet runs up to CALF KICK! Willow flounders to a corner and Velvet storms up on her. Velvet fires body shots, then stomps Willow down. The ref counts but Velvet does the splits as she digs her boot in! The fans are torn but Willow pushes the foot away. Velvet runs back up, but Willow dodges to LARIAT again and again! The fans count all the way to TEN!

Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara.
Lexy Nair is with The Spanish God and brings up how he called out Darby Allin just last night at Supercard of Honor for the AEW World Championship. But just like last night, Sammy hushes “Chica” Lexy, and says, “Everybody’s Favorite Pillar is about to talk, so zip it and listen. Darby, I don’t need to call my shot against you because I looked through the history books, and history’s on my side. I’ve beaten you not once, not twice, not three times, I’ve beaten you four times. When I look at the history books, I’m a three-time TNT Champion while you, you’ve only held that belt twice.
“So I’m gonna beat you tonight like I’ve beaten you before. I’m gonna stamp my ticket to Double or Nothing, and MJF, I know you’re watching, you sociopath. I’m gonna beat you next week and I’m gonna shave you BALD! But don’t worry, I’ll give you a nice little fade. Because I am the best! I am the best wrestler, I am the best talker, I am the best this planet has! I’m the Spanish God, dammit! I’m number one, I’ve been here since day one, and there’s only one way this is gonna go: With me as the NEW AEW World Champion! Darby, your time is up, and my time is now. Because I am Numero Uno. That means ‘number one.'”
Sammy heads out, but is his big head only going to get in the way tonight?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Collision returns and Lexy is now with said AEW World Champion. She brings up the five title defenses in 21 days, an AEW record! But tonight is number six against someone Darby’s known for a long time in Sammy Guevara. Darby says when he showed up today, he asked if anyone had seen MJF yet. Then he thought, “What a stupid question. Of course he’s not gonna be at Collision.” MJF is not a company man, he only cares about himself. And those same people asked back, why is Darby back? Why is Darby defending his title again? Double or Nothing is next Sunday, why is Darby risking losing this? Because Darby loves this!
And if there’s anyone in this company as crazy as Darby, it is Sammy Guevara. Darby loves it! Darby realizes this could all end tonight, and Speedball wants his match on Wednesday? Well, if Darby walks out here tonight, then on Dynamite, it’s Showtime! Darby thanks Lexy then heads back out. Will the Relentless Reign be an unstoppable one? Or is this one Collision Darby will not walk away from?

Ciampa then brings Briscoe up, bumps him off buckles, and hoists him up top. Ciampa CHOPS, Briscoe sputters, but Ciampa gets the chairs!
Ciampa wants to recreate what put Briscoe on the shelf the past month! Ciampa JAMS Briscoe up with a chair first before putting it side-by-side with the other. Ciampa then climbs up, soaks up heat, and vows to end Briscoe once and for all! But then Kyle & Cassidy rush out here! Ciampa runs away from The Conglomeration, but he warns them all that he’ll get them for this! Briscoe grabs a mic to shout at Ciampa, “You ain’t nothin’ but a punk, son! You wanna do it like that? Sounds like to me Wednesday night, the only right thing to do is to make this ANYTHING GOES! NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!” The fans like the sound of that!
The Psycho Killer may have just stepped into it! Will there be nothing stopping Briscoe from doing anything he wants to Ciampa?

The 5 Tool Player shows the power of Joe’s teachings, but he also gets the mic to say, “For the last year, I have been confused. But I have found solace and clarity in the fact that i Have found a group of men, The Opps, that understand everything I do for this business, everything I do for AEW, and everything I do for you!” The fans cheer, and Bowens continues by saying everywhere he goes, he represents the fans, because he is the Pride of Pro-Wrestling! He is your hero! And to be honest, for everything that he does, he deserves a standing ovation! Joe certainly applauds, and the fans here in Salisbury join in!
Bowens says if you’re asking what this change of attitude is about… This man, Samoa Joe, has been teaching Bowens all he needs to know: choices have consequences; and if you don’t like the way the table is set, you flip that table over and you choose violence! The fans cheer, and now Joe speaks on the mic. “Oh, Ospreaaaay~…! Do you understand what I do for my friends? But unfortunately, decisions have consequences, and you chose a different road, Will. So allow me to say this: I am truly beyond honored that you consider facing me a dream match.” The fans cheer that, but Joe says it’s just unfortunate that when he gets Ospreay in the ring, “it’ll be nothing but a nightmare.”
Joe & Bowens have made it clear that no matter who, no matter where, and no matter what, The Opps will not show mercy. Will nothing stop The Opps from taking it all here in AEW?

AEW hears from the four fighting for the AEW Women’s World Championship.
Kris Statlander says, “At Double or Nothing, I face three women, one who I hate, one who I respect, and one who I’m still not sure about.” The hated one, Thekla, says there’s only one way this ends when she’s up against dumb b*tch after dumb b*tch after dumb b*tch. The respected one, Jamie Hayter, says she had the title stripped away from her and it’s eluded her ever since. And the uncertainty, Hikaru Shida, says even though it is every one for themselves, she knows she and Kris will be on the same page, just like always! Kris says y’know who really has her back? Kris herself! That’s all she needs! Jamie warns Thekla that she’s gonna find out, unfinished business is her favorite kind!
Thekla says Double or Nothing, the Toxic Spider destroys New York! A Fatal 4 Way of epic proportions await, will there be nothing left after the dust clears?
Backstage interview with Athena and Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy Nair is with the ROH Women’s World Champion and the Fighting Gravure Idol, and thanks them for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. They are on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Tournament, this has gotta be a tough one. Athena says maybe, maybe not, but the facts are this: Athena has been the ROH Women’s World Champion for over 1252 DAYS, and has left of dozens of bodies in her wake. Pretty sure Mina’s one of them. Mina says last year at All In, Athena broke Mina’s hand. Athena says so what! Last year at Death Before Dishonor, she kicked Mina’s ass all over the arena! Why does Mina think this match will be any different?
Mina laughs and says last night at Supercard, when she locked in the Figure Four on her opponent, she dreamt it was Athena. Athena says Mina is dreaming of her! So flattered! But she hopes Mina has the best dream tonight: Mina’s dead body in a ditch, next to her precious Toni Storm! Mina tells Athena that Mina has dreamt of winning The Owen and the AEW Women’s World title, while ending Athena! She can’t dream anymore, because now she will live it! Athena says sure, sure. They argue, but Lexy keeps them from getting physical! Will the Fallen Goddess be unstoppable even in AEW? Or will The Owen will be about #MinaNow?
Backstage interview with Lio Rush.
Nigel McGuinness tracked down The Problem Child, and walks over. Lio says hey, Nigel! Good to see you! He saw Nigel put in that work last night, he did great. He did really good. Nigel appreciates that, that’s what he wants to talk about. Specifically, what happened between Lio and his former tag team partner, Action Andretti. Action cost Lio the ROH World TV Championship, what is Lio’s response? Lio says it’s all fine! It’s fine! These things happen, Nigel. Losses happen, friends get upset. It’s fine. It’s fine. Lio keeps saying that, and Nigel says that is the official response. Lio again says it’s good to see Nigel.
But then Lio takes off his sunglasses to show off those creepy eyes. He smiles, and that black goo drools out… Lio continues to say it’s fine, but is it anything but fine? Or should Action learn to sleep with one eye open?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with the Queenslayer and commends her on that great return match against Willow Nightingale a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to stop the Comeback Killer. Anna gives all the respect to Willow, her moves hurt. Maybe Anna dove into the deep end, but she didn’t drown. So while Willow is still TBS Champion, maybe Willow isn’t quite the Comeback Killer. Anna came back, is still here, and there is still a lot left for them to do. And by that, she means her and Tay Melo! The besties reunite, and Tay says if Anna is back, and she is back, then there’s one thing they gotta do.
Anna tells if they wanna find out what that is, #JustTryUs! TayJay is back again, but are they going to fight their way right to the Divine Dominion’s tag titles?

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
As if his reign wasn’t wild and reckless before, Darby just doubled down with Sammy here tonight! And yet, he’s now set for a showdown with Speedball in Portland! Will no one and nothing stop Darby Allin from doing this again and again? Or is he about to write a check his body can’t cash?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision that not only fed Double or Nothing but did a great job following up ROH Supercard of Honor, assuring fans that ROH does matter after all, despite the lack of building contenders and therefore new champions. I mean, Athena is STILL champion, even when Survival of the Fittest was the best way to dethrone her while protecting her. But good interaction from Athena and Mina ahead of their Owen Hart Cup match, and if Athena is going to still be champion even now, she might as well just be a finalist already. On the other end, it’d be great if Willow also got to the finals to potentially be a two-time Queen of Harts.
Speaking of Willow, great promo with Conglomeration, great match with Red Velvet, but with Velvet still the ROH Women’s World TV Champion, it makes sense that Willow retains her title. Great Six Man Tag from Conglomeration VS Shane Taylor Promotions, and The Conglomeration’s win helps them build momentum towards all their stories. Very good promo from Kyle, very good promo from Death Riders, and I feel like Kyle should at least last the 20 minute time limit to earn his title match with Moxley for Double or Nothing. Meanwhile, Cassidy & Roddy are NOT winning against FTR, FTR has to settle things with Cope & Christian first.
Ciampa going after Briscoe, that whole brawl, and then Briscoe upping the ante for Dynamite, that No Disqualification match is going to be awesome. Very good tag match of Joe & Bowens VS Lethal & Lee, with a good win for The Opps. Very good promo from Joe & Bowens after, and a very good promo from Ospreay, too. Joe VS Ospreay could be a show stealer, but I would think Ospreay wins so that his story with The Death Riders can be part of the Owen Cup. TayJay being back together is great, and I can see them going right at Divine Dominion and easily lasting the five minutes to then earn their title match later on.
Great Six Man Tag of Davis & Dogs VS Rascalz, but with Stadium Stampede looming, naturally Davis & Dogs won to bring momentum for their team. I’d expect The Demand to have their own tune-up for the three-hour super show go-home next week, but they might’ve announced that tonight if that were the case. Very good promo from Lio Rush to further this Jekyll & Hyde/Smeagle & Gollum type of gimmick for him. For those who didn’t watch Supercard (or haven’t read my article on it), Action Andretti turned on Lio Rush and partially blamed Lio’s new dark side for it. RIP CRU, we hardly knew you, but Action VS this Lio is going to be great stuff between AEW and ROH programming.
And of course, another insane instant classic from Darby Allin as he and Sammy use No Count Outs to get hardcore. Good bit of selling from Darby to tease his body giving out on him, but naturally he wins out. They might do a similar spot during his match against Speedball on Wednesday to make it seem MJF has a chance of taking the title at Double or Nothing.
My Score: 8.9/10
