PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us to Manchester, New Hampshire, and says let’s start tonight by bringing in The Hurt Syndicate! The fans fire up as Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley all make their way to the ring. They are all dressed to kill in those suits and ties as they join Schiavone in the ring. The fans cheer for MVP, and MVP has Schiavone hold on, “Don’t be rude.” MVP lets the fans chant for him a little more, and then he has a mic of his own. While he appreciates the introductions from Schiavone, he clearly doesn’t need one. The fans cheer, and MVP excuses Schiavone.
MVP then says, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate.” The fans cheer as MVP introduces himself, and he is joined tonight by his business partners, his colleagues, his brothers in arms! First, The Standard of Excellence, Mr. Shelton Benjamin. A multi-time NCAA All American, one of the most decorated pro-wrestlers in the history of the industry, and as we’ve seen over the last few weeks, one of the most fearsome competitors to stand in this ring. And to MVP’s right… The fans already cheer for “Bobby! Bobby!” Yes, here stands a multi-time collegiate amateur champion, a man with an MMA fighting record of 19-0!
This is the ALL MIGHTY Champion, four times across three different companies, this IS Bobby Lashley! Now, as the Hurt Syndicate, their goal is to really “enrich the lives of younger talent.” They wanna uplift guys and help them realize their greatest potential, much in the way they did for each other. They rose up to become the fearsome threesome that they have become! And IF MVP should offer you a card… That card is like your golden ticket to success! If you accept it, it can change your life. And if you reject it… Well, this is what happens. MVP cues footage of last week, as Lashley took out Swerve, with MVP neutralizing Prince Nana.
MVP says they really, really did wanna help Swerve. They wanted to elevate Swerve! They didn’t want to make an enemy of Swerve, but Swerve wanted to make an enemy of them. But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Because yes, Swerve Strickland is here! But referees are already trying to stop him from going to the ring! Even Nana wants Swerve to calm down and think about this. The Hurt Syndicate dares Swerve to do something, but Nana hands Swerve a mic instead. Swerve glares at the ring as he shouts at, “BOBBY! LASHLEY! Full. Gear.” The fans fire up for that! MVP says, “We’ll see ya there, kid.”
And so, challenge issued and challenge accepted! The Realest and The All Mighty are about to throw down, but who will be the one getting hurt in New Jersey?
Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli & PAC w/ Wheeler Yuta!
After everything that has happened since The Blackpool Combat Club betrayed Bryan Danielson, this match was bound to happen.

Is Darby even going to be able to walk after nearly being broken in half?
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with The One & Only, and says tonight he takes on The Don Callis Family with a mystery partner. Can we get any hints as to who that might be? Ricochet says it is a huge responsibility, as he could pick anyone in AEW. And it’s really easy when everyone in AEW has a problem with The Don Callis Family. As much as Ricochet wants to tell us, he’ll keep it a secret for later tonight. Renee says fair enough. And then in steps The Hurt Syndicate. MVP pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and Ricochet says it’s nice to see Bobby again. Didn’t they talk already? MVP says they did. They’re just wishing him good luck.
Lashley makes sure Ricochet’s tie is right, and Ricochet says, “Watch me work.” MVP promises that they will. Is this a sign that the offer to join is still open to Ricochet? Just who did Ricochet find to be his partner against Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher?
Six Man Fight Without Honor: The Conglomeration VS The Learning Tree!
Mark Briscoe has tried to ignore Chris Jericho, even after losing the ROH World Championship to him, but The Nueve just can’t leave Jay Briscoe’s name out of his mouth. Clearly, there is no honor in Jericho, Bryan Keith or “Big Bill” Morrissey, so there’s nothing to hold back the Sussex County Chicken or his friends in beating their asses! Will Mark, Kyle & “Big Tom” Ishii finally burn down this rotten Learning Tree? Or will they never escape the Jericho Vortex?
Dynamite returns as The Learning Tree makes his entrance, his Branches by his side. They step into the ring, Jericho waves at the crowd, and then Jericho turns around into a HAYMAKER from mark! The bell rings and the fight is on! Ishii SWATS a kendo stick away then TOSSES Keith out! Bill beats up on Kyle but Ishii storms out after Keith. Keith JAMS Ishii up with the kendo stick!

This has become an honorary TLC, but Bill KNEES Mark low! Bill hoists Mark up, to CHOKE SLAM through the ladder!! The fans lose their minds as all six men are down on the outside! The fans cheer for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks all six men, and they’re all somehow still in this. Mark crawls away from the wreckage, Bill stirs and looks to Jericho. Jericho also stirs, but now Mark brings out a new table! Mark pushes that into the ring, hobbles and falls, but Jericho is on Ishii. Ishii CHOPS Jericho! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Jericho CHOPS in return! Ishii CHOPS again! They trade CHOPS, the ref wants this in the ring, but there’s no point in reprimanding when there’s no disqualifications! Bill puts some stank on a CHOP to Mark! The CHOPS between Ishii and Jericho continue, and Mark CHOPS Bill! Bill UPPERCUTS Mark!
Jericho still CHOPS Ishii, Ishii still CHOPS Jericho, and Kyle stalks Keith around the way. Jericho finally goes into the ring while Keith DECKS Kyle! Bill DECKS Mark, and he does a dance to mock him. Mark is right up to fire CHOP after CHOP! Keith CLAWS Kyle’s face! Ishii and Jericho CHOP in the ring! Keith CLAWS Mark’s face and BITES his forehead! Kyle CHOKES Keith with a wire! Jericho CHOPS Ishii, but Ishii grits his teeth. Jericho CHOPS again, and Ishii doesn’t budge. Jericho CHOPS again, but Ishii CHOPS Jericho down! Bill CHOPS Mark against the railing! Ishii and Jericho go back to trading CHOPS!
Bill stalks Mark, Mark CHOPS and ROCKS him! Dynamite returns to single picture as Mark JAMS Bill with a chair! Jericho CLAWS Ishii’s face, then stomps him to the apron. Ishii rolls away but Jericho soaks up the heat from the fans. But then Mark storms into the ring, armed with a chair! Jericho is worried, but he grabs a chair of his own. They CLASH chairs like swords, and the fans fire up! Jericho is disarmed, and Mark JAMS him up! And SMACKS him on the back! Jericho falls, Keith returns, but Mark JAMS him up! And SMACKS him down! Bill is back to BOOT Jericho! Ishii is in, Bill LARIATS him!

Mark hits Jericho with a POWERBOMB while Ishii SUPERPLEXES Keith! The fans are thunderous, and Keith flops out of the ring. Jericho is alone with Mark and Ishii, but we see Bill and Kyle fighting in the hallways of this arena! Bill BOOTS Kyle to keep him going.
They’ve made a roundabout way back to the arena, and Bill puts Kyle on a road case. Bill CLUBS away on Kyle, then clears a table! Bill brings it a little closer, and the fans are already losing their minds being this close to the action. Bill stands on the case with Kyle, hoists Kyle up, and SKYSCRAPER- NO, Kyle shifts to a GUILLOTINE!! Bill flails, fades, and he FALLS down through the tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! A ref hurries to check those two while Jericho and Mark rise in the ring. Mark eggs Jericho on. This started with them, it has to end with them!

Moxley & The Death Riders return backstage.
They’re storming through and Moxley spots the cameras. He has everyone stop, and says, “Just so there’s no confusion, Orange Cassidy, this kid doesn’t owe you anything. Nothing. Just cuz he slept on your couch years ago, just cuz you spotted him some gas money. He owes you because you were friends? Being a nice guy doesn’t buy loyalty, money doesn’t buy loyalty. Only a cause buys loyalty. He is not your friend. He is not your student. He doesn’t belong to you, Bryan Danielson or anyone else. He is a soldier under my command.
“Darby Allin, I had high hopes for you. Frankly, you are a disappointment. There’s a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to destroy, and a time to build. What season are we in? Well, it’s a little bit of both. Maybe it’s time for y’all to stop playing at the thing you want people to think you take seriously.” The Death Riders exit the building, will their war on AEW be never ending?
Adam Cole VS Malakai Black!
In the race to face MJF at Full Gear, The Panama City Playboy checked off win number one against Buddy Matthews. But now he faces the House of Black’s Dark Father. Their career singles series against each other is 6-0 in Malakai’s favor. Will this be an unlucky number seven for Cole? Or can he finally get that one while going 2-0 in the chase?

Malakai sits up, but he looks to Cole. Is he inviting Cole to do it?! Malakai sits cross legged, and Cole hits THE BOOM!! Cover, Cole wins!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall
It’s hard to say which is bigger: Adam Cole finally beating Malakai Black, or Adam Cole continuing on his path towards MJF and Full Gear. Well, as we’ve seen the past few weeks, Kyle is watching this. Even as Kyle gets his arm checked by a trainer, Kyle nods in approval. Will Kyle quietly support Cole from afar as Cole looks to finally settle things with MJF? Back in the ring, Malakai sits up. Cole says thanks, and offers a handshake. Malakai pushes the hand aside, to hug it out with Cole! The fans cheer the sportsmanship, will Malakai also support Cole in his endeavor for vengeance?
Cole then gets a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” The fans cheer that! Cole says first of all, Malakai Black is one of the very best Cole’s ever fought in his 16 year career. He thanks Malakai for this match. The fans cheer Malakai as he stands on the stage. Cole says there is one more person he needs to talk to, and his name is Max. This is two down, one to go. Roderick Strong still needs to win his two more, and trust Cole when he says this, they’re gonna win those matches. Because Max thinks he put roadblocks in their way, but that’s not the case.
Everyone is surely asking, if Cole gets three wins, and Roddy gets three wins, what happens at Full Gear? Cole says fortunately, he talked to one Tony Khan. And TK said it like this: If, or rather when Cole gets three wins and when Roddy gets three wins, guess what? Full Gear becomes MJF VS Adam Cole AND Roddy Strong in a Triple Threat! Max, trust Cole when he says, MJF gets the ass kicking of a lifetime from The Undisputed Kingdom, baybay! The fans cheer as the odds are no longer in MJF’s favor!
Speaking of, we see MJF losing his cool in his home. He sips wine but that doesn’t calm him down. MJF paces, grabs his phone, and he makes a call. “Yeah. I need you to pay someone a visit.” With that, the call ends. Who did MJF call? And who is this person going to “visit” in order to turn the tables back around?
Backstage interview with Jay White.
Renee is with The Switchblade and brings up the “choice words” Hangman Page had ahead of their match at Full Gear. What is his reaction to the “vile” things Hangman said? White says yeah, Hangman thinks White has no idea what Hangman is capable of. Hangman says he might break White’s ankle, he might burn White’s- HANGMAN CLOBBERS WHITE OUTTA NOWHERE!! Renee can barely get outta there because of her own broken ankle! Hangman fires hands on White, knocks spare ladders over, and they make their way out to the crowd! The fans fire up as this brawl goes to the side of the stage!
Hangman shoves White away, DECKS a security guard, and then takes the guy’s chair! The fans boo but White ROCKS Hangman! White fires more shots, and he KNEES Hangman again and again!

White fights back, Hangman CLUBS him, and he pushes the leg down between barriers! White screams in pain, but Hangman CLUBS away on the leg! Hangman has White caught, and then grabs the chair! But JUICE runs in to take the chair! The fans fire up and Juice dares Hangman to go for him!
White gets free, and he fires hands on Hangman! White sends Hangman into railing, then into the ring! Hangman bails out and runs away. White grabs a mic to tell hangman not to run away again. White would love to know what Hangman was going to do to him at Full Gear. Here’s what White will do to Hangman: He will beat Hangman, he will embarrass Hangman, he will dismantle him, and have fun doing it! The fans will have fun watching White do that! The fans cheer in agreement there. Hangman says he’s gonna leave White behind? Hangman was NEVER ahead of White, and he never will be!
White says at Full Gear, the Hangman will Breathe with the Switchblade once more, and that leg will be Hangman’s downfall! And maybe, just maybe, White will be the first ever to make the Hangman tap out! Hangman doesn’t like that, huh? Well too bad! If he doesn’t like it, then White, Juice, and the Gold Members in Manchester, New Hampshire have two words for ya! GUNS UP! The heat keeps turning up on this one! Will Hangman be the one to burn for it?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee catches the #BornAgainKristen as she enters, and says it is official! Full Gear, AEW TBS Championship, Mercedes Mone VS Kris Statlander. How does it feel to possibly have that title around her waist again? Kris says Mone can’t change the fact that Kris will be the NEW TBS Champion. Renee wishes Kris luck, but then someone almost runs Kris over?! It was Kamille & Mone!! Mone says Kamille MISSED Kris! Is she stupid or just dumb? Never mind, just go out and get her! Kamille does as she’s told, but Kris already had Mone! The CEO wants to hit someone with her car!? Kris picks Mone up but Kamille makes the save!
Kris grabs Kamille then, and SMACKS her off the side of the car! Kamille elbows back, tries to get back in the car, but Kris CLUBS her first! And then SLAMS the door shut on Kamille’s arm!! The Brickhouse falls apart, and Kris SLAMS Mone on the hood! Oh, of course it’s a Mercedes. Security finally rushes in, but the damage has been done. Will Kris make Mone pay for trying some vehicular manslaughter?
The Patriarchy is here!
And there is extra special security here as Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna are about to confront the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, Hook. Christian grabs a mic, and he tells Manchester, “Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business.” The fans boo but Christian is sure we’re wondering about the security detail. Christian just wants a chance to explain himself. So when Hook comes out, this is all for everyone’s protection. First thing’s first, he formally welcomes Kip to the Patriarchy. You might wonder how this came to be after all the cat ‘n’ mouse games these past few months.
And it was that Christian realized Kip was just trying to get his attention. That much like a lot of you, he is a fatherless loser just looking for some guidance. But there was one moment that stood out among all else, and the footage replays: Kip snatching the pen, and then Christian almost running into the Death Riders… Now, people here in Manchester, NH might not understand so he’ll spell it out for them. Kip had the foresight to realize what was happening. If Christian had signed his Casino Gauntlet contract, the Death Riders would interfere to cost Christian the match, and this contract would be gone forever.
Because of Kip Sabian, Christian stands here #AndStill the reigning, defending, undisputed NEXT AEW World Champion. Kip applauds but the fans boo. Christian says in that moment, Kip did more for him than any of his other sons have. Christian says he loves Kip, and the two hug it out. Nick is a bit unsure about this, but here comes Hook! The fans fire up and Hook has a mic of his own. “Whatever it is that you have to say, make it good, and make it fast, cuz I don’t have much patience.” Christian says yes, of course. Never mind the security, let’s just talk. Christian will say it straight: Hook is a wild card.
Hook has those crazy eyes, is a problem, a bull in a China shop, an ass kicker, and what happened here on Dynamite a few weeks ago, don’t mistake it. That wasn’t a beating, that wasn’t an attack. Christian needs a son like Hook. Christian needed to be sure Hook could be disciplined to fall in line. But he also realized that if Hook was going to be Christian’s son, Hook couldn’t have that “other voice” in his ear. That other voice was Taz, so yes, Christian admits to the attack. It was from a place of love and caring, but Christian hit Taz in the knee with a lead pipe. The question now is, Taz saw Christian’s face. Why did Taz not just tell Hook it was Christian?
The answer is simple: Taz realized Christian could take Hook to heights not even Taz could imagine. Hook, your father is a legend in this business. Just as Taz and he’ll tell you. Hook’s father was the face of the “outlaw promotion,” a big fish in a little pond. And what happened when he got to the big stage with the bright lights? He buckled under the pressure! He hung up his boots, put the headset on, and hid behind the announce table. So the question to Hook is: Does he want to be an announcer like his father? Or does he want to be a renowned and revered world champion like The Patriarch himself, Christian Cage?
Christian says he regrets not taking things with Taz just a touch further. As he looks around, it is clear to Christian, no one even cares Taz is alive. The fans boo, but Christian says he needs Hook. In this moment, he’ll tell Hook to his face: Christian wishes Taz was DEAD! The fans boo even harder and Hook seethes. Hook storms right through the security and gets in the ring! Kip runs up, into REDRUM! Christian saves Superbad but he ends up in REDRUM! Nick saves Christian, the special squad gets in, but Hook throws them all around! Hook puts the last guy in REDRUM!! Hook glares at Christian but Christian grins.
The Patriarchy wants to build their deck with this wild card, but is Hook too wild to ever be tamed?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Alex Marvez is with THE scumbag leader of the Don Callis Family and brings up the new tag team of Brian Cage & Lance Archer have simply been dominant. Callis says no more 50-50, they are squashing everyone! Wait, who is this? This man hands Callis an envelope, and a box. Callis looks at the envelope, it has a lot of money in it. And the box has a shiny ring inside. The man then says there is a voice message for Callis. “Hey, Don, it’s The Devil.” MJF wants Callis to take care of a baybay for him. And if he gets that job done, there’s another envelope like that one waiting for him.
And if Callis scratches that ring… Well, let’s just say there are a lot more men in suits that can scratch him up, too. MJF’s messenger leaves, and Callis puts on the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Callis laughs as one devil made a deal with another. Will The Murderhawk Monster & Machine simply be mercenaries for MJF to take out the Undisputed Kingdom?
Jamie Hayter VS Penelope Ford!
It was two years ago that these two teamed up, and while one would become AEW Women’s World Champion, the other would be stuck at home with a severe injury. Hayter feels Ford has made this way too personal for no good reason, but will Ford still have her revenge? Or will she return only to find Hayter still hits hard?
Wait, Ford SHOVES Hayter off the corner during her entrance! The bell rings, fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Ford goes up and up to APRON KNEE DROP! Hayter sputters but Ford mocks her pain. Ford storms in to rain down fists on Hayter’s chest and ribs! The ref counts, Ford lets off, and then run sin. Hayter dodges, Ford gets stuck on ropes! Hayter hauls Ford up for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as now Hayter rains down fists! The ref reprimands, Hayter lets off to say it’s fair given what Ford did. Hayter then has Ford in a corner to CHOP! And CHOP again! Hayter stomps away on Ford, then stops as the ref counts.
Hayter has Ford against ropes for a flurry of forearms! The ref counts, Hayter runs, but Ford runs up to BOOT! Ford drags Hayter up, whips her to a corner, then runs corner to corner. Handspring and BACK ELBOW! Ford then goes side to side, HIGH BOOT WASH! Ford reels Hayter in, snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Ford frowns, then knees on Hayter to choke her! The ref counts, Ford steps off and pretends it was all an accident. Ford drags Hayter up to scuff her, but Hayter fires body shots! Ford BOOTS Hayter down, then drags her up. Hayter fires shots but Ford CLUBS Hayter down. Ford puts Hater on ropes to CHOKE!
The ref counts, Ford mocks the fans and then steps away. Ford drags Hayter up, brings her around, but Hayter JAWBREAKERS! Hayter ROCKS Ford, runs, but Ford KICKS the legs out! Hayter falls into ropes, then Ford SHOTGUNS her in the back! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this but Ford goes to the apron. Ford climbs, soaks up some heat, then MOONSAULT FLOPS! Hayter basement DROPKICKS! Then a suplex, for a BRAINBUSTER! The fans fire up with Hayter and she shrieks! But Ford goes Matrix to avoid the lariat! CUTTER! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and now Ford shrieks in anger!
Ford drags Hayter up while the fans rally. Ford fireman’s carries, then pops her up, but Hayter lands out! Hayter hooks Ford up, HAYTERADE!! Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
That’s right, Hayter hits that hard! Ford’s wrath will not be satisfied, will she just have to let it go? Will Hayter get to go after a championship in time for Full Gear?
Mina Shirakawa is coming!
The Fighting Gravure Idol knows we all want Mina, and so she’ll give us what we want. Wait, did the image go half black ‘n’ white with a QR Code? Could this return be surprisingly timeless?
AEW takes a closer look at Kazuchika Okada,
Jim Ross says The Rainmaker is one of his favorite talents ever. Truck loads of charisma and skill, he’s in the top five of wrestlers in the world. Most people who are knowledgeable have him on that list, and some might even have him as number one, he is that special. Excalibur narrates that Okada has the chance to enter rarified air in pro-wrestling. With FOUR G1 Climax wins already to his name, a win in this year’s Continental Classic could tie him with NJPW legend, “Mr. G1,” Masahiro Chono and his five round robin victories. Okada himself says, “Who is Chono? Chono is not an international star like The Rainmaker!”
Okada says he IS the greatest tournament wrestler in the history of the world! Okada is Japan’s greatest export! The Continental Championship will not only defend his title but his pride as one of the greatest international stars of all time in this year’s Continental Classic. Will Okada’s fifth round robin trophy not be a G1 but a C2?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Given what they’ve done to Orange Cassidy, the Death Riders will now have to answer to The Conglomeration, with the AEW World Trios Championships on the line! Will Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii take away these titles before Cassidy becomes a Freshly Squeezed AEW World Champion? Or will Pac, Claudio & Yuta take away the only friends Cassidy has left?
Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Ricochet & ???
The Don Callis Family has taken a lot from Will Ospreay. The Alpha took the International Championship for his own while The Protostar took Ospreay’s trust and broke it. But neither of them expected The One & Only to step up to them both. Ricochet wants to take down Takeshita for taking that title, but who did he find to join him? Ricochet makes his entrance, mic in hand, and he has everyone hold on. Ricochet says “you two morons” made a mistake saying Ricochet could choose anyone in AEW as a partner.
Ricochet did some research, a little bit of digging, and he found that as of October 4th of this year, a certain someone’s contract with the Don Callis Family has… expired. See, this man is upset because he feels The Don Callis Family just forgot about him. Allow Ricochet to introduced his really pissed off partner, “P-P-P-P-POWERHOUSE.” The fans go wild seeing Will Hobbs return! Not the Will that Kyle was calling out, but one he should’ve been concerned about! Ricochet & Hobbs run in, the bell rings, and the brawl is on! Hobbs is after Kyle while Ricochet is after Konosuke and the ref wants this to sort out!
Ricochet and Konosuke fall out of the ring, then Konosuke SHOVES Ricochet into the commentary desk! Hobbs and Kyle still fight in the ring, but Konosuke slides in. The Callis Family whip Hobbs, but he comes back to CLOBBER them both! The fans fire up as Hobbs paces. Hobbs & Ricochet then pursue the Callis Family to the ramp. Ricochet BOOTS Konosuke while Hobbs sends Kyle into railing! Ricochet drags Konosuke up, UPPERCUTS him, and Hobbs sends Kyle into more railing!

The fans fire up as they balance, and then Ricochet ARIHARA MOONSAULTS onto The Callis Family! The fans are thunderous, and Ricochet feeds Kyle to Hobbs. Hobbs paces while Kyle shakes out the cobwebs. Hobbs hauls Kyle, says “I’m back~!” and he suplexes. Stall and SLAM at five!
Kyle writhes in pain but Hobbs points to Ricochet. The fans cheer, and Hobbs tags Ricochet in. They double whip Kyle, to then DOUBLE- Well, no, Hobbs CLOBBERS Kyle and Ricochet cheers and flexes. Ricochet is already having too much fun here, and he covers Kyle, ONE! Ricochet gets the fans fired up again as he goes corner to corner, but Kyle puts him on the apron. Ricochet ROCKS Kyle, BOOTS Konosuke, then RAMS Kyle, but Kyle has Ricochet by the head! DRAPING DDT! Konosuke runs up to sucker punch Hobbs! Hobbs doesn’t even budge! The ref stops Hobbs from storming in but that lets The Callis Family double GOURD BUSTER!

Ricochet endures, the fans rally up, and Ricochet fights to his feet. Ricochet fires body shots, then ROCKS Konosuke with a forearm! Ricochet runs, but into an ELBOW from Konosuke!

My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, lots of great moves that were expected and a lot unexpected, but also some moves that were unexpected yet not so great. Great promo to open the show, and I figured Swerve would show up. Swerve VS Lashley for Full Gear is of course where this was going, so I appreciate Swerve not dragging it out with a big speech. Two weeks until the PPV, we’ll get plenty of that from MVP before the match anyway. Great match from Cassidy & Darby VS Claudio & Pac, and honestly, what a great way to disqualify the match in Marina just booting the ref. Also WOW, Darby being thrown at a post… I hope he’s okay, haven’t heard anything otherwise.
And the beatdown on Cassidy was a good segue to get Conglomeration out there and then have their match with Jericho’s team. Great stuff being it was a Fight Without Honor. I’m more surprised there was no blood like there was in Ladder War. But multiple table spots was a big hit with Manchester, especially that one with Kyle and Bill. Mark not winning with the Froggy-Bow going through a table was a bit booty, though. Yes, last week teased Jericho VS Ishii, but why false finish us like that then? At the same time, Death Riders VS Conglomeration for the trios titles will be some great stuff, but I feel like Jericho’s gonna disqualify that match since he and Ishii are going to battle over the ROH World Championship.
Jay White had a great promo that turned into a brawl with Hangman, that then turned back into a promo. I almost thought White would add a stipulation to their match but whatever, they’ll still have a great one under normal rules. It could go either way, but it feels like Hangman cheats to win and this forces the feud to continue. Very good video package and promo for Okada ahead of the Continental Classic, can’t wait to see his run in that tournament, and who else will be in it with him.
Very good promo from Christian Cage to help explain the Kip Sabian turn, but the rest was just his long version of “It was ME, Austin! It was me all along!” And Christian of course uses a combination of “dead” and “dad” in his promo to piss Hook off, and Hook of course stood tall taking out truly faceless goons. I did appreciate Nick’s reaction to being on the other end of the favoritism scale, and there’s half a chance Nick turns on Christian over this Kip stuff. That would help Hook get one over on a former world champion, and in a roundabout way, Hook can say that if Christian does become champion, then Hook is owed the next shot.
Speaking of Superbad, good match from Mrs. Superbad and Hayter, but it was rather quick, and of course Hayter won. Maybe Hayter gets a match with Mariah May at Full Gear, but I did like that the Mina Shirakawa hype video has a Toni Storm tease in it now. And really good stuff with Kris, Kamille & Mone. Been a minute since someone tried to hit someone else with a car, and then Kris got to hit the car with Mone. This isn’t the go-home moment but it already feels like Kris is going to lose to Mone, even after taking out Kamille with the car door.
Cole VS Malakai was great, though the fans did seem torn like they were with Cole VS Buddy. As I said with that match, Malakai also deserves to be doing something more than being fed to another story, but still. What is unexpected and disappointing is that TK has decided to overthink this story with MJF. Instead of MJF pitting Cole and Roddy against each other in round 3, he wastes money paying Don Callis to have one of his guys lose. At least, that is if the Triple Threat teased is the plan now. It just doesn’t sit right, mostly because my idea is a much better way for MJF to mess with Cole.
Ricochet bringing Hobbs back was awesome stuff, and we got an awesome match with them, Konosuke & Kyle. Great win for Ricochet on Konosuke, so there’s all we need for an International Championship match at Full Gear. Again, Cole VS Konosuke just seems wrong when Brian Cage or Lance Archer are also available and can totally take losses for the sake of story. But it was great to see Mark Davis AND Will Ospreay here, too. There’s at least a Six Man Tag right there of Kyle, Cage & Archer VS Ospreay, Ricochet & Hobbs for next week while Cole VS Takeshita happens. But even without that, Kyle VS Ospreay has to be happening at Full Gear, and could go either way with how Kyle really is being built as a star.
My Score: 8.9/10

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 STP take out their frustrations as they rumble, bad man, rumble? Or will the Violent Artist, Freshly Squeezed & Sussex County Chicken simply send #THEM home emptyhanded?
The trios sort out and Briscoe steps up against #BadNews&Tattoos. The fans are behind Briscoe as he and Bravo circle. They approach, Bravo kicks low, and he flips everyone off.

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.

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?

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?

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 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?
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?!

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

PLAY BY PLAY
MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

The fans are electric and it’s not just the volt green! Time for a SUPERKICK PARTAY~! Wait, Stokely grabs a foot each! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Stoke can’t even trip The Bucks up.

The fans fire up again, and The Bucks see C&C. They point to Christian, and the fans cheer! Christian steps in, the ref reprimands but Cope argues with the ref. This distraction lets Christian LOW BLOW Cash! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Cash! Christian covers, TWO! Cash survives, the fans boo, but Christian rains down fists while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up!

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?

The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores!

Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10
