Preshow Match – Natalya VS Liv Morgan!

Now that The Man has beaten the Queen of Spades, the door is open to a new challenger! Will the Queen of Harts or the LIVing Embodiment take a crucial step forward tonight?

The bell rings and Natty circles with Liv. Liv offers a handshake and Natty takes it. To drag Liv into a headlock and takeover! Liv rolls to a cover, ONE and Natty grinds Liv down. Liv headscissors but Natty pops free. The two go again, and Natty gets a wrench to a wristlock to a headlock to a hammerlock. Natty rolls Liv back, ONE and the two stand off. Natty applauds Liv for keeping up with her technical ability. The two circle again and Liv says Natty will regret grinning. They tie up but neither gets control so they separate. Now Natty offers a handshake but Liv swats it away. Natty kicks but Liv catches it, only for Natty to roll and use it to bring Liv down. Liv fights out of the toehold to get a headlock.

Natty pops out to get a waistlock, but Liv reaches down to trip her up. Natty kicks Liv away but Liv goes Matrix to dodge the clothesline! Liv rolls Natty up, TWO!

Dolph Ziggler tries calling Mandy Rose.

After the reveal on this past Friday Night SmackDown, Mandy hasn’t talked to him or Sonya Deville. He doesn’t want her to throw away what they have over a “misunderstanding.” Sonya checks with Dolph, but they can’t get through to her. And even if Mandy reaches out to them, what do they say? Maybe that they were thinking of her best interests? Kayla Braxton comes by and asks them about their plot being revealed. Is this some kind of ambush? WWE is better than this! No comment!

 

The WWE Backstage hosts join the Preshow, again!

But this time, Booker T and Renee Young are joined by Christian! Captain Charisma is GOODT in his turtleneck, and is of course here to talk Randy Orton and Edge. Christian knows Edge very well and says that the thing going for Edge right now is confidence. Orton is oddly to thank for that. Edge survived Orton’s assault after the Royal Rumble, so Edge is emboldened to take the fight back to Orton. While The Viper really is the best, maybe of all time, Edge has “grit.” There is a fire inside Edge after what Orton did to him and Beth Phoenix, and it is now an inferno.

Edge has always had a chip on his shoulder, and has used that chip as motivation. That chip is going to motivate Edge even more now. But Orton is at his peak right now, and Booker says Edge’s ring rust could be the real enemy. Christian is talking from his heart, but Orton is the best today. Orton will bring a lot and will take a lot in this match. Who do you think will be the Last Man Standing tonight?

 

Stephanie McMahon welcomes us back to WrestleMania!

Yes, we’re on the second night of the WWE superstars performing in front of an empty arena, but with all the same energy as if we were all present. Please sit back and enjoy the finale of WrestleMania Weekend!

 

“A battle for the ages” is on the horizon.

Rise as one, or fall as… CUT! That’s starting at the end. You can’t start at the end. Where is the drama? The rising action? Story-telling 101. Back-up to… There! The raging ocean. “The darkest hour… is just before the dawn.” Movie narration, go! No, wait, that’s very cliche. Okay, yes, this is all cliche because it’s pirate theme with a pedestrian knockoff Jack Sparrow. But it’s also so much more. It’s a story of adventure, bravery, maybe even madness. Wait why are there horses and aliens? Give us the heroic montage! The epic effects! Mythical juxtapositions!

Our heroes, our icons, our legends are all here after hundreds of days and nights around the world. This is their quest for gold, glory and immortality! You may think you’ve heard this story before, but forget what you have learned. For fate has a funny way of surprising you. “Tonight, adventure awaits.” But history waits for no one! Both those things collide in one epic weekend! Who conquers the conquerors? Who raises the greatest treasures imaginable? And who stands tall on the Grandest Stage of Them All?

 

WWE Universe, Gronk is back!

The second night of a Mania too big for just one promises to make things even more hype! Gronk knows what Championship Sunday is all about, so let’s get to it!

Backstage interview with Sasha Banks and Bayley.

The Boss and the longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion have had quite the year already. But Bayley is about to face her biggest challenge yet. Yes, Kayla, that’s one way to put it. Another way to put it is “unfair.” This is the most unfair championship match ever. This is a Fatal 5 Elimination Match! Bayley has to beat four other women in one night! Including best friend, Sasha Banks, which Bayley knew Kayla would say. All the sheep are talking about the friends and trying to drive a wedge. But Bayley tells us all that she and Sasha are united. There is nothing that will stand between them. That includes this interview, which is now over.

Now Edge climbs the tallest ladder yet to then stand on a platform. Edge LEAPS and ELBOWS Orton through the table!! Both men are down as the count climbs up again! The count passes 5 as both men are slowly rising from the wreckage. They’re both up at 8!

Edge makes his way to Orton and throws more haymakers. Orton flounders about, a cut bleeding from his shoulder. Orton kicks Edge low then clubs him on his back. Edge crawls but Orton drags him up again. Orton drags Edge over but both men stumble and drop to knees. Orton grits his teeth to punch Edge and uppercut him towards a truck bed. He bounces Edge off the tailgate! And again! Edge falls and the count begins again. The count passes 5 once again, but Edge reaches up for the tailgate. Edge uses that to stand at 8, but Orton just bounces him off it again! And again! And again! Orton pushes Edge onto the tailgate then climbs up to join him. They go on top of the truck bed’s cover and then towards the cab.

Orton grins as he has Edge on the truck’s roof. Orton drags Edge around, for a DRAPING DDT!! They break the bed cover and the ref checks on both men! Somehow, both men aren’t completely out of it, but the count will still test what they have left. Orton sits up but both he and Edge writhe and crawl about. Both men stand at 6 and Edge scurries up a stack of road cases. Edge uses those to get to the roof of a truck trailer! Orton laughs as he sees Edge disappear over the top. Orton forces himself to stand and head after Edge. The ref also joins them up there, and Orton stands first. Orton goes as far back as he can on the trailer, and lines up a shot. Edge is on all fours as Orton runs at him, but Edge SPEARS!!

Orton might even be crying in pain now as he and Edge stir. The count passes 5, reaches 8, but Orton is up! Edge wobbles but runs back in, into an RKO!!! Both men are down again, but Orton sits up at 4. Orton hobbles up but Edge is still down. The count reaches 7, Edge flounders a bit, but stands at 9.5, only to fall again! Orton climbs down to rest on the truck’s tailgate. Orton sees what is perhaps the world’s tallest ladder but opts to bring chairs over to the truck trailer. Edge is battling the count as Orton returns. Edge is up at 8 but Orton gives him a SMACK on the back! That chair shot might’ve just broken Edge!

But Orton won’t let it end with that. Orton has a chair under Edge’s head…! He tells Edge this will be over soon, and Edge can go back to his wife daughters. Orton hobbles as he brings up the other chair. The ref says Orton doesn’t have to do this, but Orton raises the chair. Edge catches Orton in an arm-triangle!! Edge squeezes tight and Orton fades! Orton might be out as Edge rests his head on a chair. Edge has the other chair now, and he tells the ref to stop the count. The count was at 5 but Edge wants to end this his way.

Edge hesitates, though, remembering the years he and Orton were as close as brothers. Edge is almost in tears as he brings up the chair over Orton’s head! Con-CHAIR-To!!! The count begins again, and Edge is speechless as he stands over a gasping Orton. The count hits ten, Edge wins!

Winner: Edge

The Rated R Superstar won, but he isn’t celebrating. Edge kneels by a man who was once a friend. Will Orton ever recover from what he and Edge put each other through? Will Edge be able to continue his comeback after what he did?

 

Mojo Rawley is being chased by random wrestlers!

Winner: Rob Gronkowski, by pinfall (NEW WWE 24/7 Champion)

Gronk stomps and kicks whoever else is around before making an escape! Will the host of WrestleMania be leaving early to keep hold of the gold?

When El Idolo went down, La Muneca made a call and gave #TheRealSuperstar a WrestleMania Moment! Will Theory help El Latino gain these tag titles? Or will Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins bring the swag like nobody can?

Theory bypasses Dawkins and the cyclone splash hits Garza! Theory SUPERKICKS Dawkins and fireman’s carries! TKO NECKBREAKER! Cover, but Ford FROM THE HEAVENS! Dawkins covers Theory, The Profits win!

Winners: The Street Profits, by pinfall (still Raw Tag Team Champions)

The Curse of Greatness keeps the titles with the champions! But Garza dropkicks Dawkins! Theory helps Garza get Ford down, and SUPERKICK! Vega cheers her men beating down Ford and they haul him up. Vega BOOTS Ford down! But here comes BIANCA BELAIR! Ford’s wife SPEARS and punches away on Vega! Dawkins returns and fights Theory! Ford recovers to brawl with Garza! Belair gives Vega the KISS OF DEATH! The EST claps back at Vega, because she’s now Monday Night Raw! Will King Tez, his queen, and Dawkins now take the fight to La Muneca and her stable?

 

WWE gets a new host for WrestleMania!

The Real Deal, Titus O’Neil, is here in place of Gronk. Titus won’t let WrestleMania slow down, on with the show!

Firefly Fun House Match: The Fiend VS John Cena!

This story goes back six years, to WrestleMania 30. Bray Wyatt blames John Cena for his descent into madness. Cena says he is going to expose Wyatt as the over-hyped, over-privileged and overestimated embarrassment he is to the WWE. But when Cena steps into Wyatt’s world, will he be able to get out alive? Or will he #LetHimIn?

Cena makes his entrance, but just as he’s about to welcome us to WrestleMania, something happens… Old footage from the past plays, the reel stops and… The Firefly Fun House interrupts. Bray waves and smiles before saying, “There’s another world that exists beyond our comprehension.” This world is where our “darkest urges are no longer kept secret.” It is a world were gods, monsters, demons and angels are your neighbors! “Who are we? And why do we do the things that we do?” Cena, let’s take a real deep look at who you really are! Cena is going to face his most dangerous opponent yet: HIMSELF! Welcome to the Firefly Fun House match! “Abandon all hope, ye who EXIT here.” Bray steps out, and Cena is just… there.

Cena looks around and sees Abby the Witch just staring. Ramblin’ Rabbit pops up and says sup! If he’s looking for Bray, he went through that door. Go on, bro! But be careful~! Cena opens the door, and steps inside the darkness. And this isn’t your everyday darkness. This is… advanced darkness. Cena isn’t sure if there’s anything in here. But then he look sover… and sees Vince Puppet! Does Cena have the ruthless aggression needed to succeed? Show Vince or you’re… FIRED! Cena gets the joke, but moves on. Bray stands in a ring as flashes of the past intermingle with the present. Bray word-for-word copies the open challenge speech Kurt Angle gave that day over a decade ago. The one to answer the open challenge… is John Cena in his Prototype gear!

Cena heads into the ring and gets in Bray’s face, just like he did with Angle. What makes him think he can hang with Bray? RUTHLESS, AGGRESSION! Except Bray ducks the punch. Wow, this worked? And it’s pretty embarrassing. RUTHLESS AGGRESSION! Bray again dodges the haymaker. Bray explains that he’s reliving Cena’s greatest failure. And boy, it sure is embarrassing. Bray sees how Cena almost got fired. RUTHLESS AGGRESSION! You can look but you can’t touch. Hmm, wasn’t that also embarrassing? But Cena is a broken record. Is this what Cena really wants to do with his life? Cena rushes Brya but Bray dodges, and the chase is on! Mercy is the Macho Buzzard and this is Saturday Night’s Main Event! But, it’s Sunday…

Either way, Bray Wyatt says his tag team partner is a physical specimen! It doesn’t matter what little talent you have, it’s about the strength and the size! Johnny LargeMeat has both! Ladies love him, men want to be him, and here he comes! Cena flexes and quotes Randy Savage sayings. You’ll pay for the whole seat but only need the edge! Look at the pythons! Cena pumps and pumps and pumps and pumps! Abby is definitely impressed. Cena overdoes it and now his arms don’t work. He can’t punch Wyatt and Vince Puppet is upset. But what’s Cena gonna do when he realizes that Egomania has been running wild on you?! Bray pushes Cena into his next phase, the Dr. of Thuganomics! #WordLife lives again and returns to the ring.

Cena says he just switches like that in mid-fight? The audience is excited, they went from six to midnight. Oh wait, he can only talk in rhyme, right? Well Bray ain’t taking the limelight. Cena uses rapping to his advantage, and just like Husky Harris, he has weight he can manage. But here’s an idea for the puppet show! Put Cena’s junk in a sock, call it Mr. Suck It, Bro. Bray has been a disappointment since WWE brought him to the dance. He a ho for opportunity, and blows every chance. Ouch. Chances, huh? How dare Cena talk to Bray about chances. Bray has had to earn everything in life, and yet it is still taken from him! But John Cena, he’s the golden goose! Cena’s chances were unlimited, he was untouchable!

But he wasn’t a hero, he was a bully. Cena is a horrible person who takes the weaknesses of others and turns them into jokes. He does anything for fame. So congratulations, he’s the man! “Poor, lonely John Cena.” This is Cena’s last chance. The floor is his. What will he do with it? Cena just gets angry. You in the doctor’s house, getting up in his face? Bray only gets deez nuts up in ya face. Cena runs but Bray teleports away. Bray has a chain for a knuckle duster and he DECKS Cena! Cena is out cold, but the “fun” doesn’t end. Bray is back to being the New Face of Fear. “I was the color red in a world full of black and white. I had the whole world in my hands.” Abigail spoke of this day his entire life. Cena was to be a man of the people.

So why wasn’t he listening?! The fans were with Bray! They wanted Bray! They NEEDED Bray! It was to be a prophecy fulfilled! And yet, it became Bray’s grandest failure. Bray can’t remember what it’s like to feel. But now he rewrites the story. THAT Bray tells Cena to run. Bray corner splashes and dances with Hustle, Loyalty & Respect Cena. Before giving him a kiss, and throwing him away. But this won’t end it, will it? The chair is. Six years ago, Cena made the wrong choice. Fix it now. Cena swings the chair, but Bray is gone again. Wait, now we’re going to WCW Nitro? Bray Bischoff says what he really, REALLY wants to do right now is introduce the coolest guy that ever walked the face of the earth… HOLLYWOOD JOHN CENA!!

Cena is nWo for life and rocking out on the world championship. Vince Puppet says “this is such good s*it!” Too sweet, brother! But Cena SPEARS Bray! And rains down hands! The puppets beg for mercy! Even Mercy! Cena’s rage is being taken out on… Huskis?! And THE FIEND is there. Cena stands, turns around, and gets the MANDIBLE CLAW!! The Fiend smothers Cena, and his words ring in his own ears. The over-hyped, over-valued and over-privileged superstar ends. Because The Fiend hits SISTER ABIGAIL! Mandible claw cover and Bray counts! The Fiend WINS!

Winner: The Fiend, by pinfall

And Cena disappears. Cena may have been talking about himself all along. “LET ME IN!”

Interim host Titus O’Neil is speechless. Has the WWE just lost John Cena forever?

 

WWE World Championship: Brock Lesnar VS Drew McIntyre!

The Royal Rumble was an incredible showcase of two incredible specimens. But while Paul Heyman admits McIntyre is special, the Beast is a beast for a reason. Will Claymore Country’s leader be the one to #SlayTheBeast once and for all?

The introductions are made, with Heyman oddly NOT insisting to give one himself. The belt is raised, the tension mounts, and this battle to prove McIntyre’s worth finally begins!

Lesnar kicks and clubs and rams McIntyre into a corner! He whips but McIntyre reverses, to CLAYMORE!! Cover, TWO!! Lesnar survives one but McIntyre keeps his eyes on him. McIntyre aims again and Heyman warns Lesnar. Lesnsar gets clear, to GERMAN SUPLEX McIntyre! Lesnar wants another, McIntyre holds onto the ropes, but Lesnar breaks his grip! GERMAN SUPLEX! Lesnar stalks up behind McIntyre and CLUBS him down! McIntyre grits his teeth but Lesnar clubs him more, to get the THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX! Heyman says he told McIntyre it’d be quick but VERY painful. Lesnar drags McIntyre up to the fireman’s carry, for the F5!! Cover, ONE?!?! McIntyre surprises Heyman and infuriates Lesnar! But Lesnar looms over McIntyre as McIntyre crawls for ropes.

Lesnar hauls McIntyre up, fireman’s carry and ANOTHER F5!! Cover, TWO!?! Lesnar has no idea what to make of this. Heyman tells Lesnar just to keep bringing the pain, and Lesnar even grins. Lesnar drags McIntyre up from the ropes, for another fireman’s carry, and a THIRD F5!! Cover, TWO!?!? HOW?!? McIntyre is impressing Heyman, but Heyman knows McIntyre can’t do this forever. Lesnar cools off and looms over McIntyre again. McIntyre crawls and Lesnar laughs. “All night long, dude.” Lesnar fireman’s carries but McIntyre slips out! TO CLAYMORE!! McIntyre dares Lesnar to stand, and hits a THIRD CLAYMORE! Heyman panics but McIntyre knows he needs another. Lesnar stands, McIntyre CLAYMORES AGAIN!! Cover, MCINTYRE WINS!!!

Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall (NEW WWE World CHampion)

Are we dreaming?! Is this still the Firefly Fun House? NO! It really has happened! McIntyre proves Heyman WRONG! McIntyre isn’t just another b*tch that tried, he’s the Scottish Stud that overcame the unstoppable! We have a NEW reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World! DRRREW! MCINTYYYYRE!

 


 

My Thoughts:

The first ever second night of a WrestleMania, and you know what? I really liked it! It’s basically on-par with night one, but with an ending I did NOT think they’d do. I thought that with the world being locked down the way it is, Vince would not want to use such a great moment on Empty Arena Mania. But in the end, Vince did the right thing and gave McIntyre the win!! I am most assuredly marking out right now. There is a valid point that it’s a shame there are no fans to freak out in a good way over this, but at least we got this moment at all. I love this and I hope McIntyre gets to hold onto this title for a long time.

Rhea VS Charlotte was a pretty good opener, but Charlotte is still booked strong as ever. She wins the NXT Women’s Championship to join Shayna in the very exclusive two-time club, and I’m thinking she’s part of an unofficial talent trade. Shayna and now Bianca Belair are on Raw, and Charlotte is back on NXT to help push the idea that it is the third brand, on par with Raw and SmackDown. Bianca’s appearance was exactly as I figured, and that is to go after Zelina Vega in this building feud. The Raw Tag Team Championship match was good but about as expected with Austin Theory still very new to the mix. I’m obviously expecting a Mixed Six or something for the feud. And as I assume Bianca and the Profits win, maybe Bianca can be the next Raw Women’s Championship challenger.

For a filler match that came outta nowhere, Aleister VS Lashley was good. From a story perspective, it actually works that Lana cost Lashley the match by being so demanding. I hope this leads to that kayfabe relationship breaking up. It honestly should have long before this point. And hopefully this means Aleister heads for the WWE United States Championship once Andrade is okay to compete. Otis VS Ziggler was a lot of fun, and Mandy turning Face was a great way to have this go. Mandy stands by Otis, the guy she was into before the interference, and we might even get a mixed tag feud now if Sonya is hanging out with Ziggler.

The WWE 24/7 Championship’s part in the night was pretty good, too. It clearly gave a lot of extra talent some quick airtime while also getting us to where we all knew this was going: Gronk as 24/7 Champion. I can’t wait to see where they go with that. The SmackDown Women’s Championship match was really good, even with Tamina’s early elimination being a bit predictable. I really thought this was going to be Sasha’s way to get the title but maybe Money in the Bank is the route WWE wants to use. And yes, if the commercials are to be believed, MITB is still happening in a month. Though, who knows if it stays that way with WWE having to change filming plans again. Maybe Raw and SmackDown end up only focusing on MITB qualifiers?

The Last Man Standing match was as brutal as it should’ve been. And it went all over the Performance Center, as it should have. And it ended as I’d hoped: with a ConChairTo. I’m sure Edge will have to do a part-time schedule, and the damage done in this match gives a logical reason why he’d need to rest for a few months. But I am wondering where he even goes from here. And lastly, the Firefly Fun House match. It wasn’t as much of an actual match, but it was still great stuff. I loved going through the different phases of Cena’s career, and even referencing the nWo for whatever reason. Well, that might be in reference to internet fans like myself wondering if Cena’s Heel turn would be Hollywood Hulk Hogan 2.0.

And I loved how Cena’s words were basically turned against him. Bray uses Cena’s words to say Cena has been the most over-hyped, over-valued and over-privileged star in the WWE. Cena just disappearing at the end definitely adds some intrigue to things. Will Cena ever return? Will he return as a puppet? I almost thought Cena was going to end up wearing The Fiend’s mask and Bray would be dressed as Cena for a weird role reversal of hero and villain, like what they were going for with the promos. But as I said a few weeks ago, everything bad Cena’s said about Bray has been reverse psychology. Cena put Bray over here and hopefully this means Bray is headed back towards the top. Maybe back to the title? Obviously it was meant to be Roman but now it’s Strowman, and I would love a Strowman-Bray feud for once.

My Score: 8.5/10

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!

Published

on

Attitude of Aggression

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!”

 

AEW World Trios Championship Eliminator: The Conglomeration VS Lee Moriarty & The Infantry w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!

Well speaking of Kyle O’Reilly, he, Orange Cassidy, and the returning Mark Briscoe are going to put STP to the test! #TAIGASTYLE is still ROH Pure Champion, but Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are upset after losing the ROH World Six Man Tag titles.

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.

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!

Willow short arm- NO, Velvet ducks the shot, but Willow ELBOWS her! Willow fireman’s carries, Velvet sunset flips, but Velvet avoids the hip drop! Ghost pin, TWO! Willow FISHERMAN SUPLEXES! A deep bridge, TWO! Not quite perfect but Willow shrugs that off. Willow runs, but Velvet avoids the senton! Velvet hurries to STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Velvet snarls while Willow bails out. Velvet pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Willow! Velvet DOUBLE CHOPS Willow, then CLUBS away on Willow! Velvet reels Willow in, talks trash on the fans, but Willow suplexes instead!

Velvet endures, even as Willow puts on the pressure, and Collision goes to break!

Collision returns as Willow has Velvet in a corner. Willow runs corner to corner, but Velvet slips to the outside! Willow ROCKS Velvet first, then goes outside to fireman’s carry! But Velvet fights free! Velvet ROCKS Willow, Willow ROCKS Velvet, and Velvet sits down! Willow fires the fans up, then lines up her shot. Velvet stands up, Willow runs, but Velvet dodges! Cannonball crashes ‘n’ burns!! Willow writhes and clutches her back, but she’s somehow still in this! A ring count starts, Velvet rolls in before 3, but Willow rises up at 5. Willow hobbles her way over, rolls into the ring, but Velvet SUPERKICKS her down! Cover, TWO!

The fans rally as Velvet brings Willow up. Willow shoves Velvet, Velvet counter punches! And counter punches! Velvet fires a flurry, but Willow slips around to waistlock. Willow ducks the elbow but Velvet DDTS! Willow goes to ropes, Velvet runs up, DOUBLE KNEES! The fans fire up while Velvet yanks the ropes. Velvet wheelbarrows to BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Willow survives and Velvet is frustrated. Velvet brings Willow up to ROCK her, then she runs the ropes, but into a SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO!

The fans fire up with Willow and she drags Velvet back up. Willow gut wrenches, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

Red Velvet brought the fire, but she couldn’t cook Willow! Willow is now rolling towards Double or Nothing and her match with Alex Windsor, but will she then head for her second Owen Hart Cup win?

 

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?

 

Something’s going on backstage!

Tommaso Ciampa is CHOKING Mark Briscoe out! The Psycho Killer SMACKS Briscoe off road cases, and says how dare Briscoe call him out! Their brawl now moves onto the stage!

Briscoe reels Ciampa in, underhooks, but Ciampa fights the lift! Ciampa then LOW BLOWS Briscoe! The fans boo but Ciampa just scowls. Ciampa then grabs a chair, and he SMACKS Briscoe on the back! Briscoe writhes, the fans boo, but Ciampa just stalks Briscoe to a corner. Ciampa DIGS a chair into Briscoe’s bad shoulder! The fans boo but Ciampa soaks up heat. 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?

What a rich history of honor here, as two icons of ROH meet again here on Collision.

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?

 

Backstage interview with #Brodido.

Lexy Nair is with Brody King & Bandido, and wants to talk the Owen Hart Tournament. Brody is set to face Claudio while Bandido is up against Swerve Strickland. Now, if they both win their matches, that pits them against teach other in the semifinals. But what they also needs to talk about is last night, Supercard of Honor, Bandido retained the title, only for Swerve to attack. Brody tells Swerve that he warned him about what would happen if Swerve messed with the people Brody cared about! Next time Brody sees Swerve, he’ll- Bandido stops Brody there, and says no, no, hermano. Bandido loves you, but this is Bandido’s battle, and Brody needs to respect that.

So Bandido tells Swerve that this is a battle Swerve will not win! Swerve may be the Most Dangerous, but Bandido is the Most Wanted! And after Double or Nothing when Bandido beats Swerve, Swerve won’t be a danger to anyone anymore! Both sides of Brodido have spoken, but will either of them knock down Swerve’s House? Or will Swerve’s thirst for power be satiated with the Owen Hart Cup?

 

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Eliminator 5 Minute Challenge: The Divine Dominion VS Allie Katch & Kaia McKenna!

Megan Bayne & Lena Kross established just how dominant they are in the first 5 Minute Challenge last week, yet it seems two more poor souls want to test their might. Will Allie & Kaia at least last longer than the previous team? Or will The Megasus & Aussie Amazon score the fatality?

The teams sort out, Megan starts against Allie, and the bell rings. We’re on the clock as Megan and Allie circle, then tie up. Megan powers Allie to the ropes, then CHOPS! Megan whips, Allie blocks the lariat to wrench and PELE! But then Megan just rebounds to SHOTGUN BOOT Allie down! Allie flounders, Megan puts her in the corner, and CLUBS away from all sides! Tag to Lena, she whips Allie back into the corner, then ROCKS her! And ELBOWS her! And fires more elbows! The fans cheer, Lena BLASTS Kaia, then scoops Allie for a SPIN-OUT SIDEWALK SLAM! Lena grins, she drags Allie up, and she tags Megan.

Kaia runs up but Megan scoops her! The Divine Dominion SANDWICH the two, then FALL AWAY SLAM them both! And they SPLASH in the corners! And then another SPLASH! They send their opponents into each other, then DOUBLE LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up as Lena & Megan focus on Allie, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!

Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Allie Katch & Kaia McKenna a title match)

It was only one minute and 50 seconds this time, they’re only getting stronger! Will no duo ever remove Megan & Lena from the mountaintop?

 

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?

 

Six Man Tag: Mark Davis & The Dogs VS The Rascalz!

Before they team up for Stadium Stampede, the AEW National Champion teams with David Finlay & Clark Connors to test their chemistry. Will Dunkzilla, The Rebel & 100 Proof sink their teeth into Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed? Or will The Rascalz light ’em up and smoke ’em in Salisbury?

The trios sort out and Davis starts against Dez. They circle, but then The Dogs rush in! The ref stops them, Davis runs up on Dez, but Dez dodges!

The fans boo but The Rascalz run up to TRIPLE BOOT Davis & The Dogs down! Then they build speed, only for The Dogs to CLOBBER Zach & Myron!

Dez DIVES, but Davis catches him! And CHOPS him down! The Dogs beat up on Zach & Myron on the outside, Davis CHOKES Dez with a chair, but the ref reprimands. Davis puts Dez in the ring, Finlay CHOKES Myron while Connors whips, but Zach reverses! Connors hits railing hard and writhes on the floor. Myron whips Finlay into railing, and Dez dodges Davis as Davis runs up in the corner! Dez ENZIGIRIS again and again and again! Then Zach joins in, ENZIGIRI GAMANGIRI SANDWICH! Tag to Zach, they speed blitz Davis, then Myron joins in with a DOUBLE STOMP! The Rascalz combine, but The Dogs catch Dez!

The Dogs use Dez to CLOBBER Zach, and THROW him at Myron! The Dogs whip Zach, DOUBLE ELBOW, then SENTON! SLIDING SHOULDER! Davis SENTONS on top! The fans boo but Davis & The Dogs soak it up while Collision goes picture in picture.

Davis drags Zach up just to CLUB him down. Then he drags Zach up to whip hard into the corner. Davis tags Connors, Connors ROCKS Zach, then ROCKS him again. But Zach hits back! Zach backs Connors down, but Connors UPPERCUTS him down! Connors taunts the fans and The Rascalz, then drags Zach back up. Connors RAMS Zach into the corner, tags Finlay, and Finlay stomps away on Zach. The ref counts, Finlay stops, but then Davis CHOKES Zach behinds the ref’s back! Davis gets away with it, then flexes to soak up heat. Finlay puts Zach on the ropes, backs off as the ref reprimands, but that lets Connors CLOBBER Zach!

Finlay then hoists Zach up, BROKEN ARROW! Zach gets distance from that throw, and Finlay flexes. Cover, TWO! Finlay drags Zach into shoulder claws, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns as Zach fires body shots on Finlay, but Finlay throat chops! Zach sputters, Finlay tags Connors, and they double whip Zach, but Zach BLASTS Davis! Finlay runs up, blocks a boot, but Zach reels him in, pushes him down, then hops over! Zach then slips under Connors, but Connors gets a leg! Zach BOOTS Connors into Finlay! Zach crawls, but Connors BLASTS The Rascalz! The fans boo but Connors CLOBBERS Zach, too! Connors soaks up heat then drags Zach up. Connors whips, Zach handsprings, JUMP KNEE! The fans fire up, both men crawl, and we get hot tags on Finlay and Myron! Myron ducks Finlay to then dodge and GUILLOTINE LEG DROP!

Myron runs up on Finlay, whips, but Finlay reverses. Finlay ducks a boot but the SUPERKICK hits! Dez joins in, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! The Rascalz hoist Finlay up, SLINGSHOT NECKBREAKER BOMB COMBO!

Dez goes up to get Davis! SUPERPLEX! The fans fire up while everyone is down around ringside! The Rascalz rise and regroup, then they build speed! TRIPLE TOPES!!

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?

 

AEW World Championship No Count Outs: Darby Allin VS Sammy Guevara!

The Relentless One may have gotten MJF to accept the Double or Nothing challenge, but he is always up for a fight! The Spanish God still has the ROH World Tag Team Championship around his waist, but he wants even more gold to show off to his wife and daughter! Who gets what they want tonight to then head for Queens, New York?

As he makes his entrance, Sammy brings a table out from under the ring and sets it up ringside, planning ahead for the wild fight he and Darby are about to have! The introductions are made, and Darby kneels down with the belt, only for Sammy to STOMP him into it!! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Sammy holds up the belt as if he’s already won it! Sammy puts the belt aside, the bell rings, and Sammy KNEES Darby right outta the ring! Sammy THROWS Darby into railing, THROWS him in again, then goes back to his table! Sammy puts the table by the stage, then he drags Darby up. Sammy THROWS Darby into more railing! And more railing!

Sammy grabs a ladder and he brings it over to his table! The ref reprimands, there are no count outs but there are still disqualifications! Sammy doesn’t seem to care, he still stands his ladder up near that table. Sammy then lines up a shot, and he JUMP KNEES Darby back down! “I’m gonna be the world champion! Me! Not him!” Sammy drags Darby up, puts him on the table, and he rains down fists! Sammy climbs the ladder, goes to the very top, and reminds us that he’s loco! SUPER SWANTON BOMB through the table!! The fans go nuts as Darby and Sammy are both down in the wreckage!

The ref checks both men, and Sammy sits up first. Sammy drags Darby up with a headlock, brings him to the ring, and Sammy covers, TWO!! Darby survives and Sammy is furious! Sammy drags Darby up, torture racks, and GO TO- NO, Darby blocks and turns Sammy over! SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Sammy endures, reaches out, but Darby is looking dizzy! Darby falls over?! Sammy grins as Darby sputters, but the ref has Sammy hold on, he needs to check! Darby is conscious but dazed, and Sammy hurries to the apron. Springboard FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and Sammy is beside himself!

Sammy pushes Darby to a cover, TWO! Darby refuses to give up, despite how it looks. Sammy puts Darby up top, but Darby fires body shots! Darby HEADBUTTS Sammy down, then adjusts, but Sammy trips Darby up! Darby hits buckle, then apron, then floor! Sammy soaks up the heat while the ref checks Darby again. Darby flounders and crawls but refuses to stop, so Sammy fires hands! Sammy climbs up on Darby but Darby fires hands in return! Darby shoves Sammy, Sammy goes up the steps and JUMP SOBATS! Sammy says #AndNew AEW World Champion! Sammy soaks up more heat, then he drags Darby up.

Sammy puts Darby in the ring, drags him up, then KNEES him low! Sammy grins, suplexes, and that’s just Uno Amigo! That means “One Friend.” Sammy hits Dos Amigos! Then THREE AMIGOS! Cover, TWO! Sammy is frustrated as Darby survives again. Sammy clamps on with a chinlock, not quite a bulldog choke, but Darby is still sputtering for air. The fans rally as hard as they can, and Darby rises up to fire body shots! Darby runs, but Sammy SUPERKICKS! Darby falls, Sammy covers, TWO!! Darby scrambles away but Sammy stalks him, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Sammy digs his boot into Darby’s face at the ropes, but the ref counts. Sammy stops, talks some trash, then stalks Darby to a corner. Sammy drags Darby up, whips him corner to corner hard, and Darby flounders out of the ring. Sammy pursues, drags Darby up, and he talks more trash on the fans. Sammy stands Darby up to ROCK him, then push him around. Sammy drags Darby up and THROWS him into railing! Sammy talks more trash, then walks around commentary so he can take a headset and tell everyone what he’s doing as he does it! He stomps Darby, taunts him, then has to go follow Darby around the way.

Sammy follows Darby into the ring, stands him up, but Darby fires hands! Sammy KNEES low, KNEES again and again, then ROCKS Darby! Darby falls over, but Sammy CHOKES Darby on the ropes! The ref counts, Sammy stops, and Darby coughs and sputters again. Sammy has the legs, he puts Darby under the ring, CATAPULT GUILLOTINE! Darby writhes and coughs again, but Sammy steps out to the apron. Sammy looms over Darby, drags him up by his chain, and Collision returns to single picture. Darby fights the suplex, then blocks a kick to FLIP Sammy! Sammy lands on his feet, but Darby SHOTGUNS Sammy down!

The fans fire up as Darby rises again! Darby has his second wind and he builds speed to DIVE! Into a CUTTER on the floor! Sammy puts Darby back in, Sammy springboards in, but into a REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Darby catches Sammy now and the fans fire up! Sammy flails, reaches out, but Darby pushes him down with his body weight! Sammy still endures, crawls forward, and reaches the ROPEBREAK! Darby lets go and the fans rally up again. Fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow. Darby sees Sammy on the apron, and he goes to the corner! Darby climbs, but Sammy rolls to the far side.

Darby hops down, waits on Sammy to stand, and he runs up, but into an eye poke! Sammy hoe up, and he APRON DOUBLE STOMPS Darby down! Cover, TWO!! Sammy is frustrated but he drags Darby up to the top rope. Sammy climbs up to join Darby, but Darby fights the suplex! They trade body shots, and Darby SHOVES Sammy! Sammy backflips through! Sammy is right back up top, SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Sammy crawls to the cover, TWO! Sammy clutches his knee and grits his teeth. Sammy brings the kneepad down to release some pressure, then stands up. The fans rally as Sammy hobbles over to Darby, but Darby JAWBREAKERS!

Sammy staggers, Darby runs up and fires forearms! The fans fire up as Darby roars and runs, but into a SUPERKICK! Darby wobbles, Sammy runs, but Darby blows past! Springboard and COFFIN SPLASH! The fans fire up again as Darby fires fast hands, RAMS low, then hops on, CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Sammy survives and Darby is stunned! The fans rally up as Darby has Sammy in the dragon sleeper! But Sammy fires knees, snapmares free, only for Darby to ELBOW him away! Darby climbs, but Sammy SUPERKICKS the legs! Torture rack and GO TO HOSPITAL! Darby staggers around, but Sammy torture racks again! GO TO HOSPITAL!!

Darby flops down and Sammy goes to the corner! Sammy goes up top, FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!?! Sammy has no words, English or Spanish, but Darby flops out of the ring. Sammy goes out after Darby, and he brings out the other table! The fans rally as Sammy brings it over to set up by ringside. Sammy makes sure it is angled just right before he puts Darby on it. The fans boo, but then Sammy goes to the corner! Sammy climbs, reminds us again that he’s loco, and Sammy SUPER 630s only through the table!! Darby avoids disaster, then he puts Sammy back in! COFFIN DROP!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!

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
