The Babes of Wrath speak.
Harley Cameron says, “Here we go again, in Denver, Colorado!” Willow Nightingale knows Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford want one more title shot, and Harley promises that they’re gonna be filled with so much wrath, it’ll come out yer arse! Willow says they’ve done this song and dance, so let’s tango!
MEGABAD speaks.
Penelope says Australia was just a warning. Tonight, it will be a reality. Megan says they’ve made the Babes bow down again and again, but this time… Lena Kross adds that the Babes will STAY down! Will having an Aussie amazon by their side be enough for Megasus & Superbad Girl to win those AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships?
AEW hears from The Young Bucks and FTR.
Matt Jackson tells FTR that Revolution’s tag title match was about finding out who the best tag team really is, but last Saturday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood crossed the line. They put their hands on the Jackson family! But Dax says he never wanted to put his hands on their family, that was all The Bucks’ fault. Cash adds that The Bucks superkicked Stoke first, and that the family put their hands on FTR first. Nick says FTR hit a piledriver on their brother, FTR made this personal. Dax says yeah it’s personal! And tonight, Mile High Madness in Denver, anything goes! But it’s all on The Bucks.
Nick says the family is okay, they’re resilient. But Matt says he and Nick won’t be okay until they get their hands on FTR! And their first chance to do it is tonight in Mile High Madness! Will anyone be left standing in Denver after this one?
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS CLØN!
While The Maniac is ready to face The Alpha at Revolution with no time limit, The Don Callis Family is looking to double down. Will the corrupted copy capture his own golden ticket to this title? Or can he at least soften Moxley up for Konosuke Takeshita?
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Moxley already. Moxley and Clon slowly circle, feel things out, and they tie up. Clon clinches then waistlocks, but Moxley switches. Clone wrenches free to switch, but then Moxley switches back. The switches continue, but then Clon headlocks. Moxley brings Clon down, headlocks in return, then hits the takeover.

Prince Nana interrupts the show!
Dynamite is recapping Swerve Strickland VS Kenny Omega, and as we relive Swerve hitting Kenny with a VERTABREAKER through the commentary desk, Nana is on the mic! “This is what I’m talking about! Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness, and Tony ‘Old Head’ Schiavone! You guys are there running your mouths about $100,000! You think Swerve cares about $100,000 and a week off!? Get up! Get up out of the table! Move! Get up! Get up, Nigel! MOVE! Move away!” The fans boo but Nana calls the commentary all stupid fools. So without further delay, ladies and gentlemen, Nana wants to introduce to you, the Most Dangerous Man in AEW! SWERVE STRICKLAND!
The fans are torn as The Realest steps out from the crowd and up onto the desk. Swerve takes the mic now and asks, “You miss me, sickos?” The fans cheer that! Swerve is funny, he figured they’d enjoy what he did to Kenny last week. Some don’t, right? Figures that’s what happens when it happens to your favorites. Come to think of it, y’all really reinforced the announce table this week. It’s a bit more sturdy, given Swerve drove Kenny’s head through it last week. Fans do chant for “Kenny! Kenny!” but Swerve says he feels no guilt, simply for the fact that he warned Kenny that whatever happened next would be on Kenny.
Kenny got in Swerve’s way of the AEW World Championship, and then he had the nerve to call someone else the most dangerous man in AEW?! Kenny, are you dumb?! Just by defeating Kenny, Swerve is right back in line for the AEW World Championship. Swerve told Kenny he would put him down, and he is nothing but a man of his word. Not only did Kenny challenge Swerve as a man, but as a threat. It just seems to be another EVP that Swerve took down and won’t be a problem anymore. Fans chant, “You Suck!” but Swerve hits back with, “Yo mama, boy.” Swerve says he may have been killing the last three years taking down The Elite, so that’s over.
Now, Swerve wants to go back to All In: Texas, when he had a conversation with Hangman Page. That conversation was about the word, “Regret.” Hangman asked Swerve if he regrets all the evil, dastardly things he’s done to get to the world title and become a success. At the time Swerve said yes. But upon realization, that was the most successful point in his career. And in order to get back to that, Swerve chooses to live life now and going forward with no regrets. The fans cheer, and Swerve says this is his warning to AEW: everyone is on notice. Anyone of y’all can get clipped when he so chooses. And if anyone dares to try and stop him, he will take them down, too.
Swerve wants to remind you, in case you forgot, who the most dangerous man in AEW still is… “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve has sharpened his edge, will he be even more dangerous than he ever was before?
Brody King speaks.
With Bandido by his side, The King of Death calls out Swerve. “You have a problem with people saying I’m the most dangerous man in AEW? Well, I got a problem with you thinking that you deserve to be the next AEW World Champion. Tonight, I have a match with Mark Davis, one of the biggest and baddest men in AEW, and I’m gonna prove why I’M next in line for an AEW World title shot!” Brodido is fired up, but will Brody take a big bite out of Dunkzilla?
Orange Cassidy VS Gabe Kidd!
Freshly Squeezed won alongside Tomohiro Ishii last week, but perhaps a pyrrhic victory with how banged up the Stone Pitbull was afterward. But that was a declaration of war as far as these Dogs go, and now they vow to drain Orange dry before going back for Darby Allin. Will the Mad Man beat Orange to a pulp? Or will Cassidy prove he’s just as #WarReady as the next guy?
Cassidy’s tron has a missing persons poster for Roderick Strong, promising a $15 gift card reward for any information on where he went. But for now, the bell rings and Cassidy puts his hands up. But Gabe BOOTS him, SMACKS him down, then stomps away on Cassidy! The fans boo but Gabe talks trash on them. Gabe CHOPS Cassidy, CHOPS again, then stalks him along the ropes. Gabe bumps Cassidy off buckles, talks trash on him, then TOSSES him across the way! The fans rally for Cassidy but Gabe storms up on him again. Cassidy blocks the toss, so Gabe SMACKS him again! Gabe goes to toss but Cassidy arm-drags him away!
The fans fire up as Cassidy then wrenches Gabe to a backslide! ONE, Gabe reels Cassidy in but Cassidy cradle counters! TWO, but Gabe blocks the headlock takeover! Gabe lifts Cassidy up, whips him to a corner, but Cassidy goes up and out! Cassidy ducks a shot to then bump Gabe off buckles! Cassidy runs Gabe side to side to bump off more buckles! Cassidy runs Gabe side to side again, but Gabe blocks this third bump! Gabe headbutts the buckle himself to prove it doesn’t bother him! Gabe then swings on Cassidy, but Cassidy ducks under! Cassidy gets moving, ducks ‘n ‘dodges then tilt-o-whirls, but Gabe stops the DDT!
Gabe shoves Cassidy to then DECK him with a right hand! Cover, TWO! Cassidy survives that shot and rolls out to the floor. Gabe tells Darby Allin that this isn’t over between them, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Gabe waits as the ring count climbs on Cassidy. Cassidy sits up at 5 of 10, so Gabe rolls out. Gabe CHOPS Cassidy, then stares down commentary. Gabe tells the fans to shove it, then he ROCKS Cassidy with an elbow! Gabe makes Cassidy take a seat, CHOPS him down, then barks it up. Gabe HEADBUTTS Cassidy along the way, puts him in the ring, then soaks up heat before he rolls into the ring. Gabe seems to brush off the “BALD!” taunts before he goes to Cassidy. Cassidy rolls Gabe up! TWO, and Gabe CHOPS Cassidy down! Cassidy flounders but Gabe does jumping jacks to taunt him. Gabe barks, then he goes to Cassidy.
Gabe brings Cassidy up to CHOP him in the corner! Gabe whips Cassidy corner to corner hard and Cassidy falls to the mat! Cassidy drags himself back up, and Gabe mocks the fans cheering Cassidy on. Gabe then whips corner to corner and even harder! Cassidy falls to the mat while Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans boo Gabe but he storms up on Cassidy. Cassidy BOOTS Gabe, BOOTS again, but then Gabe takes a swing! Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Gabe stops another tilt-o-whirl! Gabe puts Cassidy on the top rope, winds up, and he SMACKS Cassidy down to the floor! The fans boo again but Gabe just soaks it up.
The ring count climbs but Gabe goes right out to fetch Cassidy. Gabe CHOPS Cassidy, puts him in the ring, then tells fans to shut up or they’ll be next. Gabe goes back into the ring, but Cassidy rolls out the side. Gabe is annoyed but he pursues. The fans cheer as Cassidy rolls back into the ring! Gabe storms back in, he and Cassidy keep playing cat ‘n’ mouse, but Gabe catches up to stomp Cassidy down! Gabe SMACKS Cassidy, then suplexes, but into STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! The fans fire up while Gabe bails out, and Cassidy DIVES! Cassidy puts Gabe back in, goes up a corner, and DEEP IMPACT! Cover, TWO!
The fans rally as Cassidy thinks on his next move. Cassidy brings Gabe up, but Gabe fights the Alabama Lift! Gabe lifts but Cassidy fights it! Cassidy lifts, Gabe sunset flips, but Cassidy rolls through to PENALTY KICK! Cassidy gets moving, tilt-o-whirls, and DDTS! The fans fire up while Cassidy kips up! Cassidy throws off the elbow pad, aims from a corner, and ORANGE- FOREARM from Gabe! Gabe lifts to POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO! But Gabe KNEES Cassidy, then SAIDOS! Cassidy flounders, Gabe snarls and runs, but Cassidy dodges! HAYMAKER from Cassidy! COMEBACKER LARIAT from Gabe! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
A standing count starts, but both men stir at 3 of 10. Gabe sits up into a cross leg position, and he turns around to see Cassidy. Gabe SMACKS Cassidy, eggs him on, but Cassidy “smacks” Gabe! The fans fire up, but Gabe ROCKS Cassidy! Cassidy “chops” Gabe! The fans cheer Cassidy as he “unleashes” strikes! Then he puts his hands up, and into his pockets! The fans cheer, but Gabe SPITS on Cassidy, then reels him in! But Cassidy counters with a BEACH BREAK! Cover, TWO!! Gabe survives that turnaround, and now Cassidy is fired up! The fans cheer as he runs up, but Gabe uses the ref as a shield! The fans boo, but then Gabe CLAWS Cassidy’s face!
The ref reprimands but too late, PILEDRIVER!! Cover, Gabe wins!
Winner: Gabe Kidd, by pinfall
The Mad Man then waves to the back, and yes, here comes Clark Connors! 100 Proof gets to rain down fists on Cassidy, then RAMS him into the corner! The fans boo as Connors RAMS Cassidy more, then digs his boots in! But here comes Darby Allin! Gabe gets clear of that skateboard, but Connors doesn’t realize it yet! Wait, Darby sends the board to Connors? Connors says why not, only for Darby to hop on for CODE RED!! Gabe comes back, but into an ORANGE PUNCH!! The fans fire up again as Darby goes up, SKATEBOARD STOMP!!
The Dogs are in retreat, but Darby reminds Gabe of his own words: PUSHING UP DAISIES! Who will be the last man standing when this is all over?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite next week!
Thunder Rosa isn’t just back, she’s back in the title scene! Her win over Julia Hart and her mission to crush the Toxic Spider have granted her an AEW Women’s World Championship match in El Paso, Texas! Speaking of…
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette says big news tonight! As of this Saturday, Kris Statlander will be cleared to return to competition, and Thunder Rosa has her title match! Rosa steps in already to tell Thekla that she has no time to play stupid little games with Thekla. And that title Thekla is holding was made by women like her! So next week, in El Paso, Texas, for her and for her La Raza, Rosa will become the new champion, estupida! Kris steps in and says Rosa still needs to be careful. Rosa says what, her? Careful? You don’t think she can do this? But if that’s how Kris feels, then they can remove all doubt when they both take on The Sisters of Sin.
Kris says she’ll be there. Just be careful. Rosa says she doesn’t do careful. Thekla has her all wrong. She calls Rosa “perra,” well she’s LA MAS PERRA, she is La Mera Mera, and she is going to get these hands on her! Rosa storms off, and Renee asks Kris why she’s so worried about this. Kris just shakes her head then heads out. Will Big Stat Daddy help Rosa get through Julia Hart & Skye Blue this Saturday? Or is this all just part of the plan for The Triangle of Madness?
Kevin Knight VS Mansoor!
The Jet was on standby just in case, and so now he faces the “Iron Chic” representing MXM TV. Will Mansoor prove Knight is not #TVReady? Or will Knight prove Mansoor and MXM TV are not ready to ride with Jet Set Rodeo?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Mansoor headlocks, Knight powers up and out, then he drops down, only for Mansoor to step on him… and POSE! The fans are torn but Mansoor appreciates he has fans behind him at all. Mansoor wants a Fingertip Touch of Honor, Knight is willing to oblige, but then Mansoor kicks low! The fans boo but Mansoor ROCKS Knight! Mansoor whips, drops down, then hurdles, but into an atomic drop! Knight mocks Mansoor’s pain before he DROPKICKS Mansoor down! Mansoor bails out to the ramp, and Knight copies the POSE! The fans cheer while Mansoor tries to block the cameras from seeing that!
Knight blows Mansoor a kiss, and Mansoor storms in so mad, that he trips on the ropes! Knight gets Mansoor up to wrench and wrench, but Mansoor CLAWS Knight’s face! Then NECKBREAKER! The fans rally as Mansoor stomps Knight to the ropes. The ref reprimands, Mansoor stomps a mudhole in at the corner, but Mansoor stops as the ref counts 4. Mansoor CLUBS Knight, whips him corner to corner, but runs into an ELBOW! Knight back suplexes, but Mansoor lands out! Mansoor shoves Knight for the atomic drop! Then SPINEBUSTER!

Knight then goes up top, takes aim, and MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, Knight wins!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
The Jet was just too fly to stop, and he gets a mic to say, “Boy, did that feel good! Getting another win for the Jet, aka Mr. Too~ Fly~, in the Mile High City, baby! Now listen, Hangman, MJF later on, gonna come out and get that stipulation for Revolution. But we both know the result. We all know whether it’s a one way disqualification or a Texas Deathmatch, hangman gonna wipe the floor with MJF’s ass! Now Hangman, I know you’ve been seeing The Jet getting W’s week after week after week. So after you win that World Championship, I’d love to throw my name in the hat and be your first challenger for that belt.”
Knight knows that this is premature, and that patience is a virtue, but in the meantime in between time, sit back, enjoy the view, and give all praise to the one you look up to. Cuz not only is The Jet the future, he is the here and now! The fans cheer that! But will Jet Set Rodeo wrangle belt after belt after belt from here on out?
Dynamite returns and Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone welcomes us back to the show, and notes that just a week ago, in order to get MJF to agree to a stipulation for the world championship match, Hangman Page gave his word that if he loses, he will NEVER again challenge for the AEW World Championship! The fans boo that, but Schiavone says tonight, the final decision will be made as we hash out the stipulation for Revolution. So introducing first, the challenger, one-third of the AEW World Trios Champions, and the former AEW World Champion, Hangman Adam Page! The fans cheer for “COWBOY SH*T!” as Hangman joins Schiavone in the ring.
Schiavone then introduces the AEW World Champion, M J F! The fans boo as The Scumbag makes his way out in a suit jacket that looks more like floral wallpaper than anything. MJF has them cut his music, and he circles with Hangman a moment before he says, “When one of the greatest wrestlers on God’s green earth and the greatest world champion is talking, we keep our mouths shut. Thank you.” The fans boo instead, but MJF says show respect, he is their champion. And Hangman, as much as it pains MJF to admit this, Hangman was awfully brave and awfully bold to offer up, that if he loses on March 15th, he will NEVER challenge for the world title again.
And while Hangman is brave and bold, if there’s one thing he’s not, it’s a historian. Because if he was, then he would know that he’s about to be the second man whose AEW wrestling career MJF ends by making sure he could never be world champion. Now, MJF will reiterate what he said last week, since he knows the folks here in Denver are “stupid, ignorant potheads…” MJF says under no circumstances will the fans have any say in the stipulation for HIS world title match. The fans chant “WEED! WEED! WEED!” and Hangman tries not to laugh. MJF says if you smoke, you go broke. It’s true! It’s true!
But what MJF has done is he’s figured out a way that is more than fair for them to decide the stipulation. Hold on, he’s gotta throw his gum in the garbage real quick. And he throws it at the fans! The fans boo more, but MJF says he feels this is more than fair. His way to decide the stipulation is a simple 50-50 game of luck. In his pocket is a quarter. If he flips the quarter and it lands on tails, that will be Hangman’s Texas Deathmatch. The fans cheer that! But then MJF says if the quarter lands on heads, that will be MJF’s match, which is perhaps the greatest match stipulation ever conceived: The One Way No Disqualifications!
That means that MJF can do whatever the hell HE wants, and if Hangman even so much as LOOKS at a weapon, he’ll be disqualified. The fans boo but MJF defends that’s a great idea! So MJF is curious, is Hangman the hypocrite MJF thinks he is? Will he play the 50-50 odds? Is he a cowboy? Or is he a coward? The fans boo more, then they cheer Hangman on. Hangman tells MJF that he’ll do it. MJF says yeah, cool! But Hangman says before flipping the coin, he wants to make sure that MJF understands what he’s doing here tonight.
“Because Texas Death will change you. Who would you be if I found a bag of, I dunno, broken glass? And I poured it on the mat, grabbed you by the ankle, and dragged you through it, tearing the very flesh from your body, who would you be? And who would you be if I looked around and I happened to find, I dunno, a strand of barbed wire? And I crammed it between your lips, tore your gums apart, and if we’re all lucky, I’d tear your tongue out, too. Who would you be, Max? Who would you be, standing across the ring from me, knowing that all of your usual tricks, they now mean nothing? Because Max, for years you have called yourself the Devil, but this Hell is mine!
“And if it’s Texas Death, Max, then you truly, you don’t stand a chance.” The fans cheer that! Hangman says sure, he could beat MJF in any kind of a match, even MJF’s dogs*it idea! The fans chant for that one! But Hangman has put his entire future on the line. Because if Hangman is gonna wrestle MJF for the world title at Revolution, he wants this to be it. Hangman wants it to be final, and leave absolutely no doubt on who the better man is, and truthfully… If at Revolution, he can’t beat a POS like MJF, then Hangman doesn’t deserve this title. The fans now chant POS as Hangman stare MJF down.
Hangman says he knows MJF, he understands MJF, and for that reason, Hangman is feeling like a lucky shot. Go ahead, flip the coin, and let’s see what fate has in store. MJF says what a coincidence, because he’s feeling very lucky, as well. MJF flips his coin, they all look at it, and it is… HEADS! Schiavone says the match will be a One Way No DQ match. MJF grins but the fans boo. Hangman says hold on, wait. He wants to see that quarter. MJF says no, he’s not doing anything! Hangman’s just a sore loser! MJF wants to leave, but Speedball & Kevin Knight stand in his way! And then there’s Brody & Bandido, too!
The fans cheer and Hangman asks how big of a dumbass does MJF think he is. Because Hangman knows MJF, he knows there is no world in which a coward like MJF would leave this to chance! So just give them the quarter. MJF tries to run for it, but all four stop him! MJF says okay, okay! Use a different coin then! Anyone got a quarter? Hangman confirms, MJF used a two headed coin. MJF says calm down, let’s just go again. But Schiavone says since MJF rigged the flip, the world title match will be TEXAS DEATH!! MJF panics and pleads with Schiavone, but Hangman smiles as he has MJF in his crosshairs.
The fans tell MJF he done messed up now! Will nothing short of divine intervention save The Devil from the Cowboy in the City of Angels?
AEW shares footage from after last week’s Dynamite.
The Brawling Birds, victorious in their TV debut, regrouped backstage. Jamie Hayter said here’s some words from The Birds! Windsor asks if they saw what they just did! They beat the PISS outta their opponents! Hayter says everyone saw what they did, we all have eyes! That was easy peasy lemon squeezy! No skin off their noses!

Willow RAMS Megan, Megan rebounds to RAM Willow, but Willow returns to RAM Megan! Willow then sidesteps Megan, blows past her, and RUNS her over! The fans fire up and Willow flexes.

The fans fire up with The Babes and they DOUBLE LARIAT Megan & Ford up and outta the ring! The fans fire up for the Babes and they go out to fetch MEGABAD.

The ref reprimands but Lena chose to cut her team’s losses with Ford still being checked by Doc Sampson. Megan decides to double down and she LASHES Willow with the belt! Lena stomps Harley down, then she and Megan stand tall. Lena puts the belt on Megan’s shoulder, will MEGABAD have to make a big change to take those titles?
Brody King VS Mark Davis!
Just as he said, The King of Death is not going to let anyone, not even Swerve Strickland, get ahead of him in line for the AEW World Championship. Will Brody keep his momentum going here tonight? Or will Dunkzilla get quite literally his biggest win in AEW yet?
The bell rings and Don Callis is on commentary for this match, and even he likes the look of this. The two circle, tie up, and go around the ropes. They go in a corner, out the corner, and then break. They reset, tie up again, and Brody powers Davis around. Davis powers Brody back, and the two break again. Davis kicks low, headlocks, but Brody powers up and out. They RAM shoulders, RAM again, and Davis staggers into a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” but Callis says Davis can shake that off. Davis indeed shakes it off to CHOP back, but that’s his bad hand! Brody CHOPS Davis again and Davis goes to a corner.
The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” while the ref checks Davis’ hand. Brody storms up, but Davis pokes him in the eyes! The fans boo but Davis headlocks.

Davis turns things around again but the fans rally for Brody as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Davis clutches the bad hand, perhaps pushing it already. Davis still drags Brody up to POST him, then makes him sit against the barriers. Davis fires forearms, then he gets space, and runs back in for a FOREARM against barriers! Davis soaks up the heat, then steps on Brody as he walks over to commentary to say hey to Callis. Davis then comes back, stands Brody up, and CHOPS him! Brody CHOPS in return! Davis CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody rolls into the ring and Davis follows after.

Davis ducks a lariat to hit a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer while both men are down again. The ref checks, both Davis and Brody can continue, and they rise up to go forehead to forehead. Then they go forearm for forearm! The shots go back and forth as Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Brody gets the edge! Brody CHOPS, runs, but Davis follows to LARIAT at the ropes!
Davis runs, but Brody follows to LARIAT Davis at the ropes! Things keep moving, Davis dodges a lariat but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! Davis flounders out of the ring, and Brody builds speed! Brody DIVES!

Brody puts Davis in the ring, and then in a corner. Brody runs in again for a CANNONBALL! The fans fire up as Brody then hauls Davis up, fireman’s carries, but Davis slips free! SLEEPER! Brody flails but he’s already fading! Davis leans on the hold, and Callis says that’s the right move. But Brody pulls on Davis’ bad hand! Brody puts it on the mat to STOMP it! The fans fire up but Callis says Brody is a heartless piece of trash. Brody short arm LARIATS, but Davis stays up! Davis LARIATS, Brody LARIATS, repeat! The fans chant “MEAT!” with every LARIAT! Brody gets the edge, but Davis ducks one! GERMAN SUPLEX!
The fans boo as Davis roars, but Brody is up! Brody ducks a shot to SAIDO! But Davis is up to LARIAT Brody! Both behemoths are down and the fans fire up again! Davis and Brody rise up again, and they’re back to throwing shots! Brody fires palm strikes, but Davis ENZIGIRIS! Davis runs for the REBOUND- NO, Brody ducks the lariat! Then he SWATS the bad hand, and DISCUS LARIATS! Then a point-blank LARIAT! Cover, Brody wins!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall
This was truly a massive match, and Bandido celebrates with his hermano in arms! Brody grabs a mic to call out Swerve! Look in Brody’s eyes and tell him he is not exactly who he says he is! Brody is number one in violence, he is THE most dangerous man in AEW! So March 15th, Revolution, Brody’s backyard, he’s looking for a fight! The Realest is watching this backstage, and he just smirks. Will The Realest show even The King of Death what danger looks like? But Bandido then says that at Revolution, he wants a fight, too!! The fans like the sound of that! And wait! ANDRADE EL IDOLO is here!
The fans cheer even as Callis now accompanies “The Real Latino Man.” Andrade tells Bandido to tranquilo, but who wins a shootout between Outlaw and Idol?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher.
Renee Paquette welcomes the Protostar back to the US, and says that was a very impressive ladder match victory at Grand Slam: Australia. And as we all know, this industry moves fast, not a lot of time for celebrating. Last Saturday on Collision, Ciampa claimed that the TNT Championship is still his. Fletcher says Ciampa came to AEW because this is where the best wrestle, and Fletcher says be careful what you wish for. Ciampa stepped in the ring with the very best and came up short! Ciampa thinks he has some kind of claim to the TNT title just because he held it for two weeks?!
Guess what! “Silvey” isn’t going anywhere any time soon, because now it is PINKIE, and it belongs to Fletcher! he is the GREATEST TNT Champion of all time! And then in steps Kazuchika Okada. Fletcher says hey, and Okada says he is so proud of Kyle. Kyle is right! They are both consistently being champions, unlike Takeshita. Kyle sighs as Okada brings this up again, but Okada says Kyle is his best friend. On Collision, for the first time ever, Okada proposes they have a tag match as #Protokada! Kyle shakes hands on it, and they’re doing it! But who will step up to the Rainmaker & Aussie Arrow just to get shot down and washed away?
10 Man Tag Mile High Madness: FTR & The Demand VS Jack Perry, The Young Bucks & The Rascalz!
Things are extremely personal between The Top Guys and their greatest rivals, Matt & Nick Jackson, as well as with Ricochet, his Gates of Agony, and “Jungle Jack.” Then Dax & Cash had to talk down to Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz over how they like to get down, only for it to bite them in the butts! FTR face The Bucks at Revolution, but The Rascalz have a shot owed to them, as well. Will The Demand & FTR help each other clear out all their problems at once? Or are Jack, Matt, Nick, Dez & Zach about to smoke the competition?

Winners: Jack Perry, The Young Bucks & The Rascalz, by pinfall
Mile High Madness indeed, that was nuts! And in the end, Jack gets another pin on the AEW National Champion! Will Jungle Jack have one more match with the One & Only? Will this momentum be just what The Bucks need to take those tag titles back? Or will The Rascalz beat them to it?
My Thoughts:
An awesome night for AEW, though maybe with some sloppiness in the middle. Knight’s “standby match” was really good, but his winded post match promo was maybe unnecessary. Mostly because he gave away the plan for MJF and Hangman, which was the segment right after. I knew the moment MJF suggested a coin flip that he’d pull the rigged two-headed coin. Hangman clearly did, too, and that was a fun bit to compel the Texas Death. But in the end, it was also not needed. What should’ve happened was Hangman suggested Texas Death, no other stipulation. MJF should’ve suggested blocking Hangman from the title a la Cody Rhodes, but then Hangman would be the one to accept those terms and still add that line about being unworthy if he can’t beat MJF.
And either way, shouldn’t Hangman still win because of these stakes? There’s still a lot of time before the PPV so maybe the remaining build will show us the math on it. Very good promo from Rosa and Kris to call out Triangle of Madness, and they’ll have a great tag match on Collision. Pretty sure Rosa & Kris win on Saturday, but I bet something happens where Rosa loses next week in El Paso. This might be building to a Triple Threat for Revolution but I can’t even be sure why, other than to protect both losers and let things continue towards Dynasty. Very good tag title match, but Lena attacking to disqualify MEGABAD was literally to cover for Ford hurting her leg. Let’s hope she is hurting, not injured, because she only just got back from her previous injury.
Great match from Moxley VS CLØN, but naturally Moxley was going to win that. Very good promo from Fletcher and Okada to plug more feuding with Ciampa, add more passive aggressiveness towards Konosuke, and to plug a tag match for #Protokada. They’ll obviously win, but I feel like Takeshita will show up to confront Okada over his comments. Again, this has to lead to Takeshita VS Okada for a new Unified Championship match at Dynasty. Great match from Cassidy VS Gabe, but I figured Gabe would win to stay strong. Darby showing up to save Cassidy, this certainly sets up Darby & Cassidy VS Gabe & Connors, and I bet Roddy returns to screw Cassidy over. It’d be pretty wild if Roddy not only turned on Cassidy, but joined “The Dogs” as part of it.
Great promo from Nana and Swerve to interrupt the recap package, but also to call out Kenny Omega, Brody King, and the rest of the roster. Brody had a good response promo, but he really only needed the promo he had after his match with Mark Davis. That was as great hoss match, too, and a great win for Brody. Knight also wants in on the top title, which is fine, but I feel like Knight should be pacing himself. Why hasn’t he asked for an International Championship match from Okada after beating him in the C2? That should happen before Knight goes for another title. But Swerve VS Brody, and then Andrade VS Bandido, those will be some great matches.
Then awesome main event with the Mile High Madness that was really just an Anarchy in the Arena on a smaller scale. Great stuff all around, but I had a feeling the Faces would win. This clearly means Ricochet VS Jack is happening one last time, and that has to be where Jack finally wins. Commentary was talking about Rascalz potentially having their title match before Revolution to change up the Revolution card, but I feel like they should just go for the Triple Threat at Revolution to make things much more exciting and unpredictable.
My Score: 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. The fans boo, Bravo headlocks, but Briscoe powers up, out, and headlocks in return. Bravo powers up and out but Briscoe RUNS him over! The fans cheer, and Briscoe runs. Bravo drops down, hurdles, but Briscoe hits a crane stance! Bravo says that’s stupid! But Briscoe ducks Bravo’s punch to UPPERCUT! Briscoe whips, Bravo reverses to ROCK Briscoe! The forearms go back and forth, Briscoe fires a flurry, but Bravo CLAWS Briscoe’s face!
Bravo runs, but Briscoe winds up to UPPERCUT! The fans cheer the Redneck Kung-Fu! Lee tags in and hits his tiger stance. But then Kyle calls to Briscoe, and Briscoe tags Kyle! The fans cheer as Kyle and Lee tie up, go around, and Kyle wrenches. Lee wrenches, slips through, and waistlocks. They go around, Lee switches but Kyle has the arm. Kyle arm-drags Lee down, double wristlock, but Lee fights around. Kyle body scissors, rolls to the cover, TWO! The fans fire up as the two go again, knuckle lock, and Lee headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Lee goes up and around, but Kyle does the same to slide under.
Lee ducks a kick, then wheelbarrows to victory roll, then EURO CLUTCH! TWO! Kyle is up, Lee backs off, and the fans cheer the exchange. Lee points to Nigel McGuinness, wanting him to remember the Euro Clutch did him in the last time they faced off. Kyle storms up on Lee, Lee headlocks, but Kyle powers up and out. Lee RUNS Kyle, keeps moving, but Kyle drops down. Lee sunset flips but Kyle stays up! Kyle shakes his head, drops down into the ARMBAR, but here comes The Infantry! Briscoe & Cassidy intercept Dean & Bravo, fire off hands in corners, and Kyle shifts to an ANKLE LOCK! But Lee reels Kyle into a headlock.
Briscoe & Cassidy TOSS The Infantry, then go out after them. Lee waistlocks, Kyle fires elbows, and Kyle climbs up in the corner. The fans count along as Kyle goes all the way to TEN! Tag to Briscoe, he climbs up, and he rains down fists! Briscoe goes all the way to TEN, then he tags Cassidy! The fans fire up again as Cassidy winds up, climbs up, and rains down ONE! The fans cheer Cassidy while Lee stumbles. Lee tags Dean, and now The Captain steps to Cassidy. Dean says go ahead, put the hands in the pockets. Cassidy says okay, and he raises his hands, to then slowly, slowly, put them in his pockets!
The fans cheer as Cassidy then ducks ‘n’ dodges Dean, and still arm-drags Dean away! Dean runs up, Cassidy drops down to MONKEY FLIP! Then Cassidy kips up! The fans fire up, but Bravo storms in and whips him to a corner. Cassidy goes up, out, and ducks Bravo to bump him off buckles! Dean tries, but Cassidy bumps him off buckles!

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?

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?

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? Or will the Psycho Killer, the Dogs, and the Top Guys all stand tall on the road to Double or Nothing?

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! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

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?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

Then he HOTSHOTS the arm as he drops down, and he tucks Ace in! CHEEKY NAN- NO, Ace dodges! Ace RAMS low, springboards in and FLYING- LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Ace survives again! Ospreay roars, the fans are with him, and he ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Ospreay KICKS! Ace fires another forearm, Ospreay kicks, then Ace CHOPS! They go back and forth again, but Ace CHOPS and ROKCS, until Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks! CHOP! Ace HEEL KICKS! Ace shakes out the bad arm, runs up, but Ospreay dodges to then ROLLING ELBOW! And HOOK KICK! Then the underhooks for the STORM- NO, Ace pops free, then goes to a corner. Ospreay runs up but Ace goes sideways! Ospreay hits buckles, Ace hits the FLYING CHUCK!
The fans fire up as Ace shuffles the deck, and runs up for the0 NO, Ospreay BACKDROPS Ace, but Ace lands on his feet! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay isn’t done with just one, he aims from the corner and… Ace flops over! The fans boo but Ospreay shows no mercy. He just runs up to PENALTY KICK the bad arm! Then a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
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! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
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
