**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Bryan Danielson’s music hitting, as the new “permanent” addition to the announce crew makes his way to join Taz & Excalibur, who said it’s a changing of the guard, as Danielson’s in ring days are behind him.

AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page vs. Josh Alexander (w/Don Callis, Rocky Romero & Lance Archer)

(A surprise to no one that these two put on a great opener, with Alexander getting in a lot of offense and looking strong even in defeat, as there was simply no way Page was losing this match. The post-match was a great building block to the AEW World Title match that is now official for All Out. Despite the crowd constantly going after Fletcher for not wearing socks, he kept his composure and delivered a really strong promo to build to this match.)

Callis joined commentary and glared at Danielson in disgust before hilarious getting caught in the process. Slugfest right at the bell, as Page sent Alexander to the floor with his springboard clothesline, but was caught mid-dive with an Alexander right hand and brainbuster on the edge of the ring. Page dodged a running Alexander cross-body, tried a moonsault off the apron into a Tombstone, but Alexander slid out into an Ankle Lock. Page escaped and clotheslined Alexander into the front row. Alexander got in some brief offense before being sent back to the floor and Page hit a slingshot plancha. Alexander created enough space to recover, drag Page outside and successfully connect with a back drop on the apron and sliding cross body to control during break.

Things return with Alexander mowing down Page with a big boot, as Danielson called what Kyle Fletcher did to Kenny Omega last week disgusting, while Callis called it awesome. Page battled back with a Fall Away Slam and Death Valley Driver for a near fall. Alexander fought off a Dead Eye and Buckshot, countering into rolling Germans until Page pulled them both to the apron, where Alexander held on with another German. Still maintaining the grip, Alexander wanted on on the ramp, but Page flipped to his feet and dropped Alexander with an Exploder into the guard rail and concrete. Both just beat the 10 count, as they ramped up the forearm exchange until Alexander ran into a pop-up Liger Bomb by Page for two. As both fought up the ropes, Alexander managed an Avalanche Rolling Fireman’s Carry for two before sinking in the Ankle Lock.

Page just made the rope break, as both went back to the apron, where Alexander wanted the C4, but Page countered into a Dead Eye. Orihara Moonsault connected flush, as Callis quickly ran distraction on the referee, as Archer & Romero failed intervening with Romero being backdropped off the apron onto Archer. Page flipped in with a Buckshot to successfully put away Alexander for three.

Post-match, Page took the mic and said he didn’t spill a gallon of his blood to win the AEW Title just to have someone like MJF change the stipulations to matches. Page didn’t give everything he’s had to this title to have someone associated with a phallus head like Don Callis get involved. The most important word in AEW is Wrestling, as Page is the All Elite Wrestling Men’s World Champion. Kyle Fletcher walked out with Callis saying it was a nice sentiment to have, but it doesn’t matter. While Page holds the title, the Don Callis Family runs AEW and brings up his challenge on Collision for a match at All Out. Page said Fletcher is lucky to not have his ass flighted out of here after what he did last week, but understands it, Fletcher wanted to make a point. Page told Fletcher to get in the ring and face him eye-to-eye, as Fletcher whispered to Callis he had this and went to the ring, asking for an answer to his challenge.

Page said when he looks at Fletcher he sees potential, but of someone who also can’t put on socks. Page put over Fletcher for being built like a brick sh*t house, who has all the tools to be the future, even seeing himself in Page, like when he stood across the ring from Chris Jericho in the early days of AEW. Page said Fletcher isn’t ready, though, which Fletcher said he’s heard that his whole life. 26 years old, his prime is when he says and that’s right now, as he’s ready to be AEW World Champion. Page said if Fletcher truly wants it, he’ll give him a shot at All Out, but he needs to do it himself, to earn it without the Don Callis Family. Fletcher said Page might thinks that makes a difference, but he doesn’t need anyone to beat Page, as he has his word, it’ll be one on one. Fletcher won’t fail time after time like Page did before winning the AEW Men’s World Title and Page will say his full name.

Match Result: Hangman Adam Page defeated Josh Alexander

-Footage of Konosuke Takeshita defeating Mark Briscoe on Collision is shown with the help of MJF. Footage of MJF after the show is shown, as he said his wedding was the day before and his wife asked where he was going, it’s time for their honeymoon. His wife said if you leave right now, we’re done. MJF started laughing and said to that silly little bitch that he was married well before he ever met her, as he’s married to the game, as he swung the door open, ready to make Mark Briscoe’s life hell. Whatever stipulation Briscoe chooses for their match at All Out this week on Collision, MJF will say exactly what he told his wife on their wedding day, I do, I do, by God, I do.

**********

-Renee Paquette is backstage at catering with The Young Bucks, who said when they win the $500,000 tag match tonight, they won’t be here eating awful food, they’ll be traveling first class and eating caviar, while Nick said he’s going to the casino to double it. They tried to sit down next to the Dark Order, but were rejected. Spotting Brandon Cutler, they tried to be chummy with him, but he said he’d been waiting to say this for a long time, shut up Young Bucks, storming off. Jon Moxley came in (extras scrambled) and reminded The Bucks who they are and promised them $250,000 a piece (so all of the Death Riders winnings) if they show up like The Bucks of old.

TBS Champion Mercedes Mone & Emi Sakura vs. Alex Windsor & Riho

(I unfortunately thought this had a lot of clunky moments down the stretch and it was an odd choice to have Mone tap to Windsor again, even if it was in the ropes all while Riho was tapping Sakura. It seemed like after that top rope double stomp Riho delivered, she was moving around very slowly, so I hope all is ok. It was important that Riho got the win here before the Women’s Title match at All Out, but I was wanting a stronger showing for her with this being her first match back on Dynamite in a year and a half.)

This was Riho’s first match on Dynamite since March of last year and Sakura’s first Dynamite since October, ironically enough, against Mercedes Mone. Sakura planted Riho with a slam early, but Riho was able to bridge out, deliver a dropkick and Tiger Feint Kick before tagging Windsor. She baited Mone in and delivered an assisted head scissors with Riho, who launched off Windsor’s back with a flying elbow to Mone. Riho back in legally with a Half Crab on Sakura, but Mone pulled her partner to the floor. Windsor flew in out of camera shot with a somersault senton and Riho followed with a cross body to the floor as things went to break.

During commercial, Mone & Sakura isolated Riho, who fought free with a head scissors on Mone. Using her speed to avoid a 2 on 1, Riho dove and made the hot tag to Windsor, who ran wild with a misdirect lariat on Mone, who kicked free from the Sharpshooter, but couldn’t avoid a Stun Gun. With Mone hung up in the ropes, Riho delivered a top rope double stomp and sliding dropkick for two. Both were slow to get up, as Mone was able to drop Riho and use Sakura for the assisted top rope senton for two as Windsor made the save, only to be sent packing quickly. An awkward looking leg sweep slam by Riho on Sakura, but Mone made the save this time. Sakura wanted Queen’s Gambit, but Riho escaped and sank in a Half Crab, while Windsor trapped Mone in a Sharpshooter in the ropes and both Mone & Sakura tapped simultaneously.

Match Result: Alex Windsor & Riho defeated Mercedes Mone & Emi Sakura when Riho submitted Sakura

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Ricochet & G.O.A. and was cut off by Ricochet who called The Hurt Syndicate cowards, but wanted a gentleman’s agreement, they want it just 1-on-1 with Shelton Benjamin & himself. At All Out, when their hands are raised in victory, The Hurt Syndicate will have no choice, but to respect them. That’s not a choice, it’s a demand.

**********

-Renee Paquette delivered a by the numbers video package on FTR and Christian Cage & Adam Copeland and their success in AEW and in wrestling in general. The Canadian boys will be finally home at All Out, as fellow Canadian Paquette says may the best team win.

Stokely & FTR march out from the back, saying that package was bullsh*t and that the greatest tag team in the world is going to win that match at All Out. Every week, Stokely hears the same thing, “Shup Up Stokely, you don’t get any hoes, Stokely.” Despite hearing that, everyone in the 2300 Arena look like extras from Roseanne, so no one is getting hoes. Dax Harwood said this could’ve and should’ve been a dream match, but said he’s heard enough of the fans wanting to fight, so let’s fight. Harwood got in the face of multiple fans, bumping into the camera man, shoving he and the assistant holding the cable chord down, beating them up in the process. Referees and security were out to back off FTR, as Bryan Danielson said he wasn’t sure what any of that was about and I agree, that was an odd way to send a message to Cage & Copeland, beating up production workers.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with The Hurt Syndicate, as Benjamin cuts off MVP, saying if Ricochet keeps G.O.A. in the back, MVP & Lashley will stay backstage as well and he’ll put Ricochet’s goofy ass on his back.

Ricochet vs. Shelton Benjamin

(I understand why the did the finish they did, to put heat on Ricochet & G.O.A. but this was in the middle of being a really solid match before the interference. I loved that during the post-match brawl, Toa Liona especially, held his own against Lashley. It’s not all that often that’s happen and it was necessary heading into All Out.)

Attacking right at the bell, Ricochet sent Benjamin outside with a dropkick and wild dive before giving a fist bump to Taz in bald solidarity. Quickly back inside with a springboard 450 Splash, but Benjamin with a huge kick out and rose like he was The Undertaker. Right on cue, he guzzled Ricochet, chucked him to the corner and hit a running step up knee before rag dolling Ricochet outside from barricade to apron. Back inside, Benjamin no sold a forearm and launched Ricochet with a pump handle drop. Taking too long to follow-up, Ricochet hit a baseball slide and running dropkick off the apron to take control into commercial.

Back from break, the crowd chanting “We Bald People” as Benjamin caught a springing Ricochet with an overhead belly to belly before taking him to Suplex City, obliging the fans who wanted one more. Another step-up knee in the corner led to a float over snap suplex for two by Benjamin. Went to the well once too many, as Ricochet flipped out of a suplex and hit a double stomp as both were up and hit dueling thrust kicks into a double down.

Benjamin swung Ricochet’s legs through the ropes and delivered a pump kick, but took too long to follow-up, as Ricochet scaled the ropes and hit a Spanish Fly for two. Ricochet tried to use his golden scissors, but Benjamin put a stop to it and turned Ricochet inside out with a lariat. Benjamin grabbed the scissors (we got ECW chants) as he snapped them in half. Bishop Kaun showed up and distracted the ref long enough for Toa Liona to appear, deck Benjamin with a headbutt, allowing Ricochet to get the roll up and stole it.

Post-match, MVP & Lashley hit ringside and brawled with G.O.A. as Liona & Lashley especially didn’t budge from their brawl. Benjamin caught Ricochet with a thrust kick, as security had to separate them all. Ricochet almost looked like he was bodysurfing on security guards, celebrating his victory as they were carried to the back.

Match Result: Ricochet defeated Shelton Benjamin

-HOOK is sitting on a rooftop saying he’s always respected Samoa Joe and that The Opps always have his back. After Joe explained it to him last week, now he gets it, when one gets hurt, someone will step up. That said, maybe it’s time for HOOK to stand on his own, then again, maybe not.

**********

-Tony Schiavone is backstage with Kyle Fletcher & Don Callis, who put over Fletcher, saying he respects the decision of Fletcher doing this on his own, he has all the tools necessary to defeat Hangman Adam Page. Fletcher said he’s going to need Callis to trust him, he’ll bring the AEW World Title back to the Family and Callis said he loves it.

Timeless Toni Storm vs. Skye Blue in a Philadelphia Street Fight

(A Street Fight in the ECW Arena meant there was going to be weapons aplenty and this delivered just that. Of my years of watching wrestling, I can’t remember seeing an electric flyswatter used before, so kudos on creativity on that front. I thought this delivered on exactly what was promised and the post-match left you with one of the challengers at All Out standing tall.)

Before Storm’s entrance, she came out with weapons, pulled a sign off the wall and smashed a beer on her head like The Sandman, who Storm showed off signed a kendo stick for her. Blue rushed the ring with a stick of her own and got in some shots to start, but Storm rolled out and cracked Blue in the ribs with the stick. Storm played a Stop sign like she was New Jack strumming a guitar, as Taz said she’s playing all the hits. Blue avoided Sweet Cheek Music and proceeded to staple the ass of Storm before stapling the breasts and crotch as well, causing Taz to giggle saying he has many lines, but can’t say them. Danielson was revolted, as Storm got the staple gun and got revenge, stapling Blue in the crotch and hitting a hip attack to the floor. Taz yelled to get her a beer as things went to break.

Both ladies brawled onto the barricade before both crotched one another at the same time, only to continue their slugfest. Blue decked Storm with a fans sign that read “Generational Heartthrob Tony Schiavone” but it was actually a street sign. Storm battled back and unveiled a giant table filled with mouse traps and it read “I Smell a Rat”. Storm offered cheese to all of commentary, as Danielson & Taz politely declined, but Excalibur accepted. Storm slowly placed Blue’s finger onto one of the traps and tried a slam off the apron, but Blue countered into a powerbomb onto the mouse trap filled table that didn’t break. Danielson reminded us when it doesn’t break, it hurts more.

We Want Cheese chants now as Excalibur perfectly says Blue had wedged a chair in the corner, but his pun went unnoticed. Storm got the chair, hit Blue in the midsection and DDT before getting an electric flyswatter, spanking Blue with it. After setting up a trash can, both ladies fought up the ropes, as Blue slid out, trapped Storm and hit a Cheeky Nandos kick before powerbombing Storm onto the trash can for two. Storm avoided Code Blue on a chair, brained Blue with a chair, placed the sign she brought to the ring into Blue’s face and hit Sweet Cheek Music before delivering Storm Zero on a chair to win it.

Post-match, Julia Hart & Thekla attacked Storm until Kris Statlander ran to the ring to help, but the numbers were too much and got beat down as well. Jamie Hayter sprinted out to even the odds, as her & Statlander were able to fight off Hart & Thekla until Hart ducked a clothesline and Hayter mowed over Statlander. Hart planted Hayter with a leg sweep and fought outside, leaving Thekla alone with Storm. Doing her Spider pose, Thekla planted Storm with a Spear and stood tall holding the AEW Women’s Title before doing the Spider pose over the body of Storm.

Match Result: Timeless Toni Storm defeated Skye Blue

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Willow Nightingale, who said after months, she wants to punch Marina Shafir in the face real bad. Harley Cameron came in with a guitar saying she has a song for Nightingale, singing Statlander is a good person that didn’t mean to harm Nightingale or cause disgrace, but if she joins their crew, Cameron will draw a cat on her face. The song made Nightingale & Paquette laugh, as Nightingale said having a cat drawn on her face is appealing, but she’s been down this road with Statlander before and it doesn’t end well and for Cameron to be careful. Nightingale leaves, as Paquette & Cameron slowly finish the song, with Paquette saying that was Cameron’s best song yet. Harley Cameron with a guitar will always be great and this was no different.

**********

An AEW Unified Championship Tournament leading to a 3-Way at All Out will begin on Collision this Saturday. Kazuchika Okada vs. Michael Oku, Konosuke Takeshita vs. Anthony Bowens & The Beast Mortos vs. Mascara Dorada. The winners of those matches will face off at All Out in a 3-Way for the Unified Title.

AEW Tag Team Champions Brodido (Brody King & ROH Champion Bandido) & AEW Trios Champions The Opps (Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & Powerhouse Hobbs) vs. Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta w/Marina Shafir) & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) in a $500,000 10-Man Tag

(The partiest of party matches to end the show, as this finish should certainly lead to a Tag Title match at All Out with Brodido & The Bucks. The post-match was the bigger story here, as the reveal of what can only assume to be the newest Death Rider was revealed. I was wondering where the story was going in recent weeks and am genuinely curious to see the direction the choose to go from here.)

The Bucks entrance was the old Dynamite theme and their ID pictures on the big screen with their full names Matthew Ronjon Massie & Nicholas Lee Massie. Danielson discovering Matt’s middle name is Ronjon was hysterical.

Nick & Bandido have a lighting quick opening sequence, with Nick getting three quick pin attempts until The Bucks try to cheat for a pin, but got caught by referee Rick Knox, kicking their hands free. King tagged in, stacking The Bucks on top of each other and hitting a running senton. Bandido tagged back in and did the Macarena, but again, King declined. Wasting too much time, Nick got his knees up on an assisted cazadora splash, as Yuta tagged in, but so did Joe and Joe in fact, demolished Yuta, to the delight of Danielson on commentary. Shibata tagged in and ran into a Yuta back elbow and dropkick, allowing Castagnoli to tag in and pepper Shibata with uppercuts. Shibata responded with forearms and his stalling dropkick. The match breaks down until Hobbs & King sent The Bucks packing, where King hit a Tope Suicida on them both. Castagnoli was ping ponged all over the ring until Bandido got an assist from King and hit a massive springboard moonsault onto the pile before quickly delivering a Frog Splash on Castagnoli for two as things went to break.

Bandido ended up being worked over during commercial, but made a comeback with a huge cutter and hot tag to Hobbs. Running wild with splashes and clotheslines on Moxley & Castagnoli, Hobbs lowered the straps, but Shafir ran distraction with the ref, allowing Yuta to hit Hobbs with a chair in the back, but Hobbs didn’t budge. Hobbs launched Yuta to the floor and took down Castagnoli, as King tagged in, dishing out overhand chops aplenty. The Bucks were squashed with a splash and Matt took a corner senton for a near fall. King followed up with a huge superplex, but Brodido missed their monkey flip splash, as Moxley flew in with a Cutter on King. Castagnoli tried his hardest, but couldn’t do the Giant Swing to King, as The Bucks started a Superkick Party, which was ended by Bandido, who hit X-Knee on Nick, but Matt saved his brother from a 21-Plex. Bandido sent Nick to the floor, tried a monkey flip on Matt, but Matt planted Bandido, got a jackknife pin and Nick held his brothers feet as they stole the pin.

Post-match, The Bucks ran and grabbed the bag full of money, but were chased and beaten to the back by King & Bandido. Shibata & Joe were beaten on the floor by the Death Riders, as Hobbs was as well in the ring until Darby Allin sprinted out, sending Moxley flying with a shotgun dropkick. Allin trash talked Moxley until someone in a hoodie rushed the ring and blindsided Allin. It was Daniel Garcia, who was met with You Sold Out chants, while Danielson was baffled. Shafir brought a chair in the ring and Garcia did a Curb Stomp, completely missing the chair, so Moxley ordered him to do it again, which he obliged and got all of the second try. Garcia beat the living hell out of Allin to the point of Shafir having to pull him back as he, Moxley & Shafir left through the crowd and Allin barely moving.

Match Result: Death Riders & The Young Bucks defeated Brodido & The Opps when Nick pinned Bandido

AEW Dynamite 9/17/25

• The Beast Mortos vs. Mascara Dorada Unified Title All Out 3-Way Qualifier

AEW’s residency at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia continues tonight with Dynamite featuring an All Star eight-man tag, plus a TBS title bout.

AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page teams with Kenny Omega, and JetSpeed’s Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey on tonight’s episode against The Young Bucks, and Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander of The Don Callis Family. The match stems from a wild angle on last week’s Dynamite involving all of the match’s participants.

The TBS Championship is also on the line on tonight’s episode with Mercedes Mone defending against Alex Windsor. This is the first-ever singles meeting between the two, but Windsor has been in and around the TBS title picture in recent weeks. Windsor and Mone have been on opposite sides of the ring in three different tag team bouts, plus Windsor was part of the four-way TBS title match at Forbidden Door last month where Mone retained in a bout also involving Persephone and Bozilla.

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Taz & Tony Schiavone, running down tonight’s card, when they’re interrupted by Gabe Kidd, who tells everyone they’re on his time.

Chaos Kicks Off Dynamite

Kidd got in the ring and said this dump isn’t big enough for Darby Allin to hide in the rafters and right on cue, Allin appears from behind. The fight was on, with Kidd dropping Allin and exposing a corner steel buckle, but had his face rammed into it by Allin. As Allin climbed the ropes, Kidd swept out the legs and Allin crashed hard ribs first into the steel. Kidd was sent into the barricade, but spun back into a hard lariat to plant Allin on the floor. Kidd started jaw jacking with the fans, giving Allin time to hit a Coffin Drop to the outside. Trying a Coffin Splash in the corner, Kidd sank in a Rear Naked Choke, but Allin raked the eyes to get free. Wheeler Yuta appeared, was decked off the apron, as Allin laid out Kidd with a springboard Coffin Splash. Allin grabbed his skateboard covered in tacks, as Yuta tried to cut him off, but Allin hit an Ollie off the second rope with the tacks going into Yuta’s back.

Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Marina Shafir stroll to ringside, but before they could do anything, the lights went out and the H symbol appeared with HOOK’s crooner music playing. HOOK started walking to the ring when The Opps music hit and Samoa Joe & Powerhouse Hobbs rushed by him to the ring, seemingly annoying HOOK, who still brawled with Yuta to the back. Willow Nightingale also appeared, as it’s an all-out brawl ringside between The Opps & Death Riders. Kidd & Allin fought backstage, with Kidd choking Allin, screaming he wanted to see him go unconscious. Kidd swung a hammer wildly and missed, as Allin threw powder into the eyes and choked Kidd out with an ether rag before putting him into a bodybag that was tied to the back of a pickup truck. Taz called Kidd ‘Bodybag Jones’, as Allin drove out of the arena dragging Kidd in tow.

TBS Champion Mercedes Mone vs. Alex Windsor

(An excellent back and forth opener, with Windsor having plenty of chances to try to put this away, but Mone had a counter for every time she tried the Sharpshooter. Mone survived with her title in this one, as the post-match gave us a surprising return in Riho, who we hadn’t seen since July of last year on an episode of Collision. That should be a very fun first time match-up, as Riho certainly appears next in line for the TBS Title.)

Mone was on the attack early, until Windsor dodged a hurricanrana, briefly applying a Half Crab. Mone got free, but Windsor answered with an arm drag and roll through snap dropkick. Briefly getting the Statement Maker, Mone gained control, while Windsor rolled outside, dodging a Meteora, with Mone limping momentarily. The delay allowed a Windsor somersault senton from the apron, as back inside, Windsor connected with a flying clothesline for two. Mone wanted a baseball slide, but Windsor blocked it and got a Sharpshooter using the bottom rope. Breaking before the 5 count, Mone kicked free and managed a powerbomb on the edge of the apron as things went to commercial.

When things return, a misdirect clothesline from Windsor led to the reset, as Windsor was up first with a Russian Leg Sweep for two. Mone kicked free from a Sharpshooter, only to run right into a Blue Thunder Bomb. Sharpshooter successfully applied this time, but Mone pulled the hair to get free (referee Aubrey never admonished Mone for this) as Mone got the Statement Maker. Windsor powered up while still in the hold, allowing Mone to hit a Crucifix Bomb and Backstabber. Mone charged, but ran right into a pop-up powerbomb for the double down, as Justin Roberts said 10 minutes had gone by, 10 remain. With both ladies down and their legs still crossed, Windsor got the Sharpshooter, but this time Mone escaped by picking the ankle, only both held on and tumbled to the floor. Windsor had the Sharpshooter applied and Mone was tapping, but to no avail. Both made it back in before the 10 count, as Windsor went for another diving clothesline, but dove right into a Statement Maker. Mone hit another Backstabber, had a quick delay and that hesitation allowing a desperation Windsor clothesline.

Slug fest ramps up, as Mone tried a Mone Maker, which Windsor hit a headbutt to avoid into a Made in Japan for a close two. This Is Awesome chants ring out in the 2300 Arena, as both go up in the corner, where Mone hit an Iconoclasm into the Statement Maker. Windsor got a finger on the ropes, which should have been the break, but Mone kicked back to the center of the ring. They repeated the spot, Windsor went back for the Sharpshooter, only this time, Mone countered into a roll-up for the flash pin.

Post-match, Mone trash talked Windsor, who offered a handshake, but Mone flipped her off. Windsor was having none of it, tried the Sharpshooter yet again, only to get waffled with the TBS Title. Mone applied the Statement Maker until the music for Riho hit to a huge pop. She flew off the top with a double stomp and sent Mone packing with a charging dropkick in the ropes. Riho grabbed the TBS Title

Match Result: Mercedes Mone defeated Alex Windsor to retain the TBS Title

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Samoa Joe & Powerhouse Hobbs, asking them where HOOK stands with The Opps, which Joe said he’d like to know, too. HOOK walks in and said he didn’t need either of them fighting for him, he’ll fight his own battles. HOOK said they replaced him in The Opps before his body even got cold, he thought it was different than that. Hobbs said he’s always had his back, but Joe said HOOK was right, it was because opportunity came calling. It’s what The Opps does, they take the opportunities. HOOK wasn’t ready and Hobbs stepped up. They didn’t come out to help HOOK tonight, they have their own business to handle. HOOK has every right to be upset, but Joe made the call and HOOK needs to realize at some point, he’ll need their help and they’ll still have his back whether he wants to accept it or not. This was a basic (but necessary) backstage explanation between this group.

**********

-Ricochet said his problems with The Hurt Syndicate predate well before AEW. His issue is for them, it’s business, while for them, it’s personal. The Hurt Syndicate have relied on their past accomplishments, as Toa Liona explodes, saying it’s all they have left, as Ricochet & G.O.A. are the ones who ended their tag title reign and their legacy is next. Ricochet unlike The Hurt Syndicate, they’re not washed up, they’re future is ahead of them. Ricochet demands for them to a match in Toronto saying they’ll stand above them.

-The Hall of Fame banner for Taz was shown raised in the arena. Taz was greatly appreciative of the respect and admiration Tony Khan and everyone in AEW has given him the past few weeks.

Mark Briscoe Wants Answers From Don Callis

Mark Briscoe came to the ring to a big ovation, saying this building is where he & his brother fell in love with professional wrestling and it’s been guns blazing ever since. 2025, Briscoe’s focus is on Kyle Fletcher and the TNT Title and it unfortunately meant he had a conversation with Don Callis. Briscoe said Callis looks like Elton John dressed up like a prosthetic penis for Halloween. In order to get a TNT Title shot, Callis said he’d have to defeat one of his henchmen, so let’s get this going.

Callis walked out with Rocky Romero & Lance Archer in tow, as Callis has something important to say. Callis knows Briscoe is impatient to get his answer, but he’s a little busy getting Fletcher & Josh Alexander ready for the main event tonight. Callis said Briscoe’s match will take place this Saturday on Collision against Konosuke Takeshita, who made his way to the ring and had a face-off with Briscoe. Callis went to leave with his Family, when Briscoe said he’d see Mr. Takeshita on Saturday, but wants to fight right now. Archer came to the ring and Briscoe charged, as a referee soon followed and the match was official. The best line in this came with Tony Schiavone saying how lean Takeshita looked, but Taz pointed out that Takeshita was wearing a shirt.

Mark Briscoe vs. Lance Archer (w/Rocky Romero)

Briscoe immediately fought free from the choke slam clutches, sent Archer to the outside and hit a baseball slide. Briscoe charged again, but leapt into the hands of Archer, who hit a choke slam on the apron. Rocky Romero distracted the referee, as Archer turned the steps on their side and choke slammed Briscoe onto them as things went to commercial.

Back from break, Briscoe fought his way back into it, but Archer never budged off shoulder blocks. Briscoe changed strategies, clocked Archer with a clothesline over the top and somersault suicida to follow. Back inside, Archer avoided a Jay Driller with a back drop and buckle bomb before flattening Briscoe with another choke slam for two. Archer wanted a Black Out, but Briscoe fought free into a shotgun dropkick for the double down. Thrust chops from Briscoe, who went up top, only to be cut off, as Archer wanted an avalanche choke slam, but Briscoe bit free into a gnarly looking sunset bomb, planting Archer awkwardly on his shoulder. Froggy Bow connected and Briscoe got the win.

Match Result: Mark Briscoe defeated Lance Archer

-Earlier today, Timeless Toni Storm was in the empty 2300 Arena saying she wants the attention of the Philadelphia freaks. Insanity is relative, so she promises to be the most batshit bitch to piss in this sink. Storm is a woman in search of her murder, a character in search of a plot. No belt collector or forever champion could take the AEW Women’s Title from her, so she’s begging for any woman to play the role in the greatest show on earth. Not to worry, God doesn’t judge, that’s Storm’s job.

**********

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Kris Statlander & Harley Cameron, who was upset her face was still busted up last week, despite wearing a face mask. Statlander said the wrath wasn’t in the mask, the wrath was inside her all along. Cameron said they’re undefeated as a team and called out Brodido. Statlander said it’s better they stick with Ford & Bayne and Triangle of Madness like they talked about. Wheeler Yuta walked in (Cameron hissed at him and he told her to put the claws away) saying and the Death Riders has her back. Cameron said you can tell you that if anyone is looking out for them, it’s themselves (catch all of that?). Marina Shafir joined and Statlander said for them to tell our friend that she got his message. Yuta said he’ll relay it before leaving, saying he’s pretty tough after everything he’s been through tonight, as Cameron said they seem fun. Harley Cameron continues to be a highlight in everything she does.

Brodido (Brody King & ROH Champion Bandido) vs. Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta w/Marina Shafir) for the AEW Tag Team Titles

(A very solid first title defense for Brodido, who continue to impress as a team all of us never saw coming at the start of this year. Yuta & Castagnoli always have good tag team chemistry, so they were a strong first challengers for the title. Once again, the plans of the Death Riders blow up in their faces thanks to Darby Allin, who promised to bring everything down.)

After a quick opening exchange with Bandido & Yuta, it turned into an all out slugfest between Castagnoli & King, who were throwing absolute bombs. King avoided the Giant Swing and hit an assisted cazadora slam by Bandido and follow-up senton. Bandido started doing the Macarena, which King politely declined doing, as the fans (and myself) were bummed he didn’t do, as it got a Macarena chant. Bandido connected with a wildly impressive stalling vertical suplex on Castagnoli before going up top for a dive, only to be caught with a tilt-a-whirl back breaker. Castagnoli launched Bandido to the floor and Yuta pounced as things went to commercial.

Bandido was worked over the entire break, as Yuta planted him with an Angle Slam for two as things returned. F Wheeler Yuta chants from the fans, as Castagnoli decked King off the apron with a big boot. That delay, led to an attempted Dragon Rana from Bandido, who was caught, only to counter the counter into a Code Red in a crazy spot. King made the hot tag and came out swinging before sandwiching Yuta & Castagnoli in the corner, following with a double cannonball. Wild Bandido hurricanrana on his own partner, that sent King doing a cannonball onto Castagnoli, as Bandido followed up with a Frog Splash attempt, but crashed and burned.

Yuta made the tag, but so did King, as Brodido hit a double chop to the back of Yuta, who commentary reminded us took tacks to the back earlier in the night by Darby Allin. They lined up their monkey flip 450, but Shafir tripped up Bandido, allowing Castagnoli to mow him down with an uppercut and brawl. Shafir ran distraction on referee Bryce, giving Jon Moxley a chance to show up and post King. Fastball Special connected on Bandido, who kicked out at two. Giant Swing on Bandido, as Yuta hit the mid-revolution dropkick, only this time King lunged to break the count. Castagnoli took the ref, as Moxley stalked King, as Darby Allin sprinted out and brawled with him ringside. King waffled Castagnoli with a roundhouse forearm, as Yuta ate one as well, as he was placed in the exact right spot for Bandido to his the 21-Plex and win the match.

Post-match, Moxley & Castagnoli chased Allin out of the arena, as Brodido stood tall with their titles.

Match Result: Brodido defeated Death Riders to retain the AEW Tag Team Titles when Bandido pinned Yuta

-Renee Paquette is in the parking lot with Kazuchika Okada and brought up the tension between Konosuke Takeshita & himself. Okada said Takeshita calls himself The Alpha, but Okada is The Rainmaker, the top dog of the Don Callis Family, bitch.

**********

-Renee Paquette is outside of the arena with The Hurt Syndicate, as MVP questioned what happened to Ricochet? He used to be an excited young wrestler, but turned into a kiss ass, a whiny hater leading to a bad example for the two young lions in the Gates of Agony. MVP wants them to not let Ricochet turn their careers into a punchline. MVP said he saw Ricochet say they’ll learn to respect them, but The Hurt Syndicate doesn’t ask for respect, they command it. They accept Ricochet’s challenge, as MVP looks forward to lacing up his boots and punching Ricochet in his disrespectful bitch made mouth. In Toronto, they will Hurt them. Lashley & MVP walk off, as Benjamin sticks around briefly to tell Paquette it’s been a pleasure.

Adam Copeland made his way out for his promo segment with Christian Cage, but was attacked by FTR before Cage made his entrance. The boots were put on Copeland, as Cage hit the ring and evened the playing field. Security rushed out to separate all four men, but they got beat up as a result. Dax Harwood was busted open by Cage during the brawl, as a huge group of wrestlers (we’re told were ROH talent) ran out to finally get them separated. Jordan Oliver was one of them and ate a Spike Piledriver for his troubles. Adam Priest was another and was pie-faced by Harwood, so he started firing up and the crowd started chanting for Priest. Excalibur brought up FTR wrestling Priest & JD Drake on a recent Collision, so there’s history there.

-Video package for Daniel Garcia vs. Jon Moxley this Saturday on Collision is shown

**********

-FTR & Stokely were backstage and said the next time Copeland or Cage put their hands on Stokely, it’ll be a reckoning. Harwood screams to Adam Priest off screen, who apologized for getting fired up, as Wheeler badmouthed him that he’s a nobody looking at somebodies. Wheeler told Priest to get his gear and a partner, this Saturday, they’ll make him somebody. Stokely told Priest to get his bitch ass out of here.

AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page, Kenny Omega & JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & Speedball Mike Bailey) vs. TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, Josh Alexander & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)

(This was one hell of a party match main event and I thought there was many directions they could go until the post-match, where it looks like they wrote off Omega for at least a little while. The rumors were that Omega is really banged up and needs some time off and while you could argue the stretcher job is done too much lately, this certainly got over Kyle Fletcher as a massive heel. While the current direction is Fletcher vs. Briscoe, this set up a future Fletcher & Omega clash and also Fletcher & Page if they ever choose as well.)

The Bucks made their entrance with the name graphic reading “These Guys Again?”, but they did get their old EVP entrance music. Earlier in the day, an insulted Matt & Nick were forced to take part in a Meet & Greet that was $20 for a photo and 8×10. Meanwhile, this was the first time Page & Omega have teamed together since All In London 2023. Page & Alexander kick things off with a back and forth until Fletcher got a cheap shot to the back. Page landed on his feet off an attempted German Suplex by Alexander, booting him in the face, but was blindsided by Fletcher. Omega ran in and the match completely broke down early, with all 4 babyfaces hitting quadruple slingshot cross body blocks to the floor. Back inside, Alexander was lit up by Omega & Page chops, as things went to commercial with JetSpeed in the driver’s seat.

During the break, Omega found himself worked over, but made the hot tag to Bailey, who ran wild momentarily before Alexander hit a release German Suplex. Nick made the tag, but ate a missile dropkick for his troubles, with Knight tagging in. Lighting quick offense from Knight, who hit a huge dropkick, but Nick got the knees up on the splash. Matt tagged in for the rolling Northern Lights, but Knight countered the third into a Tornado DDT and double down. Page tagged in and immediately planted Matt with a Fall Away Slam, as Alexander ate a springboard lariat. Fletcher tagged in, but Omega & Page hit a snazzy pop-up German. Alexander saved Fletcher from a V-Trigger/Buckshot, as Fletcher wiped out Omega with a dive. Fletcher returned, charged at Page, who flattened the TNT Champion with a high stack pop-up powerbomb for the reset.

Bailey lit up Alexander with rapid fire kicks, PK and somersault double knees, but as he went for Time Adventure, Alexander countered with rolling Germans. They both went to the apron, where Bailey swept out the leg, tried his backflip double knees, but no one home, as Alexander squashed Bailey with a running cross body. To the barricade they went, as Alexander wanted a piledriver, but Knight leapt off the top with a clothesline. Bailey was pulled off the barricade by Matt, as Nick quickly sprung into the ring with a TK Driver on Knight, who was held by Fletcher and then one on Bailey on the floor as the match went to a second commercial.

Back from break, Bailey took a double stomp bounce back powerbomb by The Bucks for two, as Excalibur called it the MMMBop Drop. Nick tried a Swanton, but Bailey got the knees up and finally made the hot tag to Omega after spiking Alexander with a Poison Rana. Omega & Fletcher tag in and slug it out with forearms and chops until they trade big boots and V-Triggers. Both counter One Winged Angel and Brainbusters, but Omega escapes and starts dishing out Snap Dragons aplenty. The Bucks tag in and we get a wild Elite face-off with Omega & Page that’s met with Holy Sh*t chants as all four start brawling. Wild series of home run shots by everyone, until Nick accidentally takes out Matt with a Buckshot before Page turned him inside out with a lariat of his own. V-Trigger by Omega, as Page wanted a Buckshot, Matt pulled his brother out of the way, but Omega & Page pulled up, only to be dropped by The Bucks in an amazing sequence.

Fletcher slowly stalks down Page, who fires up as the World & TNT Champion threw bombs. Fletcher avoided Dead Eye, traded Tombstones, with Fletcher connecting successfully for two. Callis said Fletcher is everything he wanted Omega to be, but was too weak to become it. Running boot in the corner by Fletcher, who tried a Brainbuster, but Page floated over, blind tag to Knight, who hit a wild springboard sunset flip for two. Dropkick landed flush, as Bailey took out Nick, while Matt & Fletcher wiped Bailey out with double superkicks. Knight tried a UFO Splash, but Fletcher got his knees up, wanted the Avalanche Brainbuster, but Bailey made the save with an Avalanche Poison Rana. Bailey landed right into a Superkick Party, as Nick took out Omega & Page with a dive. Assisted Tombstone by Matt & Alexander, as Fletcher finished it off with a Sheer Drop Brainbuster on Knight for the win.

Post-match, Callis applauded his crew, as Alexander & Fletcher beat down Page & Omega, while The Bucks brawled with JetSpeed to the back. Rocky Romero & Lance Archer joined the beat down, as they set a chair up in the middle of the ring, as Fletcher hit Page with a brainbuster through it. Omega covered up Page, as Romero & Archer set-up a table ringside. Omega tried fighting off the numbers, but Fletcher caught him in the ribs with the broken chair. Fletcher dragged Omega to the apron and hit a Brainbuster through the table, as Callis was laughing his ass off. Fletcher’s back is bleeding, as doctors quickly tended to Omega, who was clutching his neck. The show goes off the air with The Don Callis Family walking out standing tall, as the crowd is quiet with Omega & Page down.

Match Result: Kyle Fletcher, Josh Alexander & The Young Bucks defeated Hangman Adam Page, Kenny Omega & JetSpeed when Fletcher pinned Knight

AEW Collision 9/6/25

• Jon Moxley vs. Daniel Garcia
• Mark Briscoe vs. Konosuke Takeshita
• Timeless Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa, Harley Cameron & Kris Statlander vs. Megan Bayne & Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart)
• FTR vs. Adam Priest & ?

AEW begins their multi-show residency at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena with tonight’s Dynamite.

The show will feature fallout from Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view headlined by a Lights Out steel cage match.

Darby Allin and Claudio Castagnoli were on opposite ends of Sunday’s main event, with Allin’s team defeating Castagnoli’s squad in the cage. After the match, Castagnoli and Jon Moxley attacked Will Ospreay in an injury angle to set up Ospreay taking time off. On tonight’s show, Allin and Castagnoli will go one-on-one in a falls count anywhere matchup.

Also set for tonight’s show, Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford take on Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron in a tag team battle in the women’s division.

The Philadelphia residency continues with Friday’s ROH Death Before Dishonor and Saturday’s AEW Collision. Next Wednesday’s Dynamite and next Saturday’s Collision will also be hosted in the same building. The residency wraps up with a live Dynamite on Wednesday September 10, and a Collision taping on Thursday, September 11.

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Taz & Ian Riccaboni, run-down tonight’s card before showing the ending to the Forbidden Door PPV and Death Riders putting Will Ospreay on the shelf indefinitely. Excalibur said they understand Ospreay was still being held for observation, when he was cut off by the music of FTR, who come to the ring with Stokely.

FTR Gets More Than They Bargained For

Harwood said unfortunately at Forbidden Door, there was a miscarriage of justice surrounding their match and knows fans in Philadelphia were upset they’re not able to celebrate the 11^th World Tag Title reign of FTR. That was met with “Shut the F Up” chants and Taz said welcome to Philly, as Harwood said he was pinned by someone who wasn’t the legal man, so he wants to have a word with referee Paul Turner (who was in the ring for the opening contest). Harwood called him an incompetent moron and a failure, demanding Turner admit he was wrong and overturn his decision from Sunday and make them AEW Tag Team Champions. Turner apologized, but said his decision was final. Stokely ripped the microphone away and called Turner a moron and nincompoop who wants to appease to the fans online. Demanding Turner hop off the internet fans ass and do the right thing, as Stokely shoved Turner and FTR stepped between the two until Adam Copeland’s music hit.

Copeland’s entrance was a distraction for Christian Cage to sneak up from behind and lay out Stokely with a Killswitch, as the brawl with Copeland, Cage & FTR were on, as they brawled all over ringside, being separated by security and referees. After a brief separation, the fight kicked up again before FTR bailed, dragging Stokely with them. Cage said at Forbidden Door, they took care of his problem, now it’s time to take care of Copeland’s. Cage understands Harwood & Wheeler have father’s, which Copeland had to put a stop to, but called the fans sickos and gave the mic back to Cage, who said that b*tch is dead. Copeland said it’s set in stone, All Out, Toronto, September 20^th, C&C vs. FTR and called them dead men. Excalibur said Tony Khan has made it official for the PPV.

-Before tonight’s main event, Darby Allin had a video package apologizing for those who wish he died on Mount Everest, but he’s still here, ready to take everything from Jon Moxley. It wasn’t just about the AEW World Title, he’s going to take Moxley’s career, destroy the Death Riders and talked about seeing the bodies as he climbed the mountain. All the moments Death Riders have taken from people in AEW and said for Moxley not to step foot in the ring with him unless he’s willing to die. At All Out, he’s taking everything from Jon Moxley. As this whole video was shown, Allin had ripped off the bandage of his mutilated ear from Forbidden Door and was painting with the blood on a wall that read All Out before it went up in flames.

Jon Moxley (w/Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta) vs. Daniel Garcia

(Very good opener, as this was the first time these two have faced one another in a singles match in three years. Garcia simply got caught and Moxley made sure to let him know it in the post-match, as I wonder if this could be planting seeds to an association with Garcia & the Death Riders down the line? The heel turn is fully expected for Garcia, so having him be part of that crew would certainly be interesting. It’s also being played off like Moxley is refusing to face Allin at All Out, which I highly assume won’t be the case, as that’ll be one of the top matches on that show.)

Moxley controlled in the early going, but Garcia was able to slow the momentum with a dragon screw through the ropes, sending Moxley outside. Shafir stared a hole through Garcia, who hit multiple charging dropkicks against the barricade. Moxley scrambled back inside, but a brief distraction from Yuta & Shafir allowed Moxley to hit a big boot and regain control. Daddy Magic came to ringside to support Garcia, who picked Moxley’s ankle back inside for an ankle lock. Moxley scurried outside to regroup as things went to commercial.

Things returned with Moxley in the driver’s seat, raking the back and biting at the forehead of Garcia trapped in a Tree of Woe. Moxley joined him in the corner, started slapping Garcia, which only woke him up, as he bit Moxley in the leg before delivering a superplex. Both men slowly up, as Moxley started absorbing clotheslines, but not the Nigel comeback lariat, which got a two count. After trading pin attempts, Moxley exploded out with a Cutter, but Garcia held onto the top rope to avoid a Paradigm Shift and sank in a Half Crab. Moxley made the ropes, went back outside, getting a throat chop and DDT on the ring steps, but Garcia just made the count at 9. Side stepping a Curb Stomp, Garcia applied a Dragon Tamer, but Moxley got out with a Bulldog Choke attempt. Garcia rolled through and hit a Piledriver, but Moxley kicked out. Each man trade inside cradles, with Moxley able to squeak out the flash pin and survive.

Post-match, Moxley handed the microphone to Yuta, who said to Darby Allin that the answer is no. While this was happening, Moxley approached Garcia ringside and tried to whisper something to him, but Garcia was having none of it. Moxley & Shafir left, as Yuta stared down Garcia, who chucked a chair at the ring post, repeatedly shoving the camera out of his face as he went to the back.

Match Result: Jon Moxley defeated Daniel Garcia

**********

The Return of HOOK

Back from break, Wheeler Yuta got back in the ring, saying he had a lot left to say and the show won’t continue until he chooses. Yuta trained and busted his ass in this building and it got him F You Yuta chants. It used to bother him, until he became a Death Rider, which means your chants mean jack sh*t. Yuta brought up Ospreay being taken out on a stretcher at Forbidden Door, Chuck Taylor’s career ending and Bryan Danielson, whose career Yuta said he ended. The lights went out and the HOOK logo was shown in the rafters, as the new crooner music we’ve seen in the vignettes plays and out walks HOOK. Yuta charges and misses, as HOOK sank in the REDRUM before waffling Yuta with a Superman Punch. Yuta scurried away, as HOOK stood tall and he’s officially back.

-Cameras caught up with MJF following his match at Forbidden Door, tossing down his Casino Gauntlet case. The fans chanted You Deserve It while MJF is bleeding buckets and had his AEW World Title won, while Mark Briscoe cost him everything. The fans chant You Deserve It, while they’re right, he deserves so much more than this company and said if he sees Briscoe again, he’ll finish the job from last week. MJF brought up Tony Khan saying the cash-in rules have changed (it must be one week notice) and said when he signs that contract, it won’t just be for the AEW Title, it’ll be for Hangman Page’s soul. Once MJF is done with Briscoe, Page will be next.

Harley Cameron & Kris Statlander vs. Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford

(I thought this was a solid tag match, with all four ladies looking good. Bayne has really good chemistry with Statlander, so they always work well with one another. The crowd was so loudly behind Cameron and seem to be very open to the idea of her being the reason that Statlander & Willow finally mend fences. Save us Harley Cameron, you’re our only hope.)

Quite the dynamic duo entrance for Cameron & Statlander, who Excalibur said to Riccaboni they stole their routine. Statlander used her speed and power to keep control of Ford, countering a tilt-a-whirl into a back breaker. Fast tags and double teams from Cameron & Statlander, who delivered a delayed vertical suplex until Bayne tagged in. Cameron demanded a tag, wanting revenge for her broken nose, denying a Bayne test of strength attempt with headbutts to the face. Cameron was caught in a corner charge and rag dolled down, while Ford tagged back in, keeping Cameron isolated into break.

When things return, Statlander immediately made a hot tag, planting Ford with a twisting Fisherman’s Buster for a near fall. Ford flipped out of a back suplex, as Bayne made the blind tag, caught Statlander throwing her partner into her arms and chucked Ford back at Statlander into a Cutter. High stack German from Bayne on Statlander, but Cameron made the save. Ford & Bayne went for double moonsaults, but both missed, as Statlander & Cameron connect with thrust kicks. Combination pendulum back suplex/facebuster connected on Ford, but Bayne flew in with a running boot, only to be met with a Statlander discus lariat for the reset. Bayne & Statlander slug it out with forearms and kicks until Ford made a blind tag. On the floor, Cameron takes out Bayne with a tilt-a-whirl DDT, as Statlander caught a diving Ford cross body into an Electric Chair. Statlander wrapped Ford up like a pretzel and got the submission win.

Post-match, Bayne attacked Cameron on the floor and ramped up the fight again with Statlander in the ring. Willow Nightingale hit the ring (despite Statlander holding her own in there with Bayne), as Ford pulled Bayne to safety while Cameron hugged both Nightingale & Statlander, raising both of their hands. Commentary questions if Cameron will be the one to final reunite the two former friends.

Match Result: Kris Statlander & Harley Cameron defeated Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford

“Nine Belts” Mercedes Mone’s Championship Celebration

All of the titles are arranged in the ring, as Renee Paquette introduced Mone to the ring, as she came out wearing the TBS Title. Taz was singing along to her theme, but said due to his bad hips, he can’t do the dance. Mone counted off her titles, as Paquette ran down her resume in the past month. Mone calls herself the Greatest of All Time, History Maker, Record Breaker and said Ultimo Dragon had 10 titles, which is a record she’ll smash. Any woman with a title, she’s coming for you. Paquette brings up Alex Windsor tapping Mone out last week on Dynamite, to which Mone questioned if Paquette is stupid or dumb, she wasn’t tapping out, she was trying to squash a bug. Mone said she was a better RevPro champion than Windsor ever was and said maybe Windsor is jealous that her man was doing her dance, which she said to William that she loved. If Windsor keeps it up, she’ll put her in a hospital bed right next to her husband. Mone has had enough talking, all she wants to do is dance, which she did, to end the segment.

-Down in Sandy Fork, Delaware, Mark Briscoe said the 2300 Arena is extremely important to the Briscoe Brothers, but he couldn’t be there for a good reason, showing off his newborn, Baby Mack Briscoe. The next thing Briscoe has to say is not for baby ears and tells someone off screen to “take this and go!” Briscoe said it’s been one week since MJF tried to set him on fire, so he’s taking all MJF’s hopes and dreams and setting them on fire, which is what he did at Forbidden Door. Next time he sees MJF, he’s lighting his ass up. MJF has always said Briscoe can’t win the big one, which got Briscoe thinking of the TNT Champion, Kyle Fletcher, who he is 2-2 with and challenges for a TNT Title match in Philly and questions if Fletcher will Man Up? I’m glad Briscoe is challenging for a title, but I honestly wish he’d be included in the AEW World Title program with MJF & Page if I’m being honest.

Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Josh Alexander & Hechicero (w/Don Callis & Wardlow) vs. AEW Tag Team Champions Brodido (ROH Champion Bandido & Brody King) & JetSpeed (Speedball Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight)

(Action packed party match of the night, as everyone got a chance to show off throughout, with the tease of dissention between Takeshita & Okada happening more frequently to the point where Callis nearly had to leave commentary. It’s not a matter of if the split will happen, but when. I do like that they gave Alexander the win for his team, as he feels like someone who hasn’t gotten many wins on TV lately.)

Callis did his long winded and amazing intro for his team, which impressed even Wardlow with his lung capacity. Hechicero & Bandido give a preview of their Death Before Dishonor ROH Title match this weekend to start. Lighting quick pin attempts and takedowns, as a cazadora arm drag had Bandido stand tall, but the posing led to Hechicero attacking and tagging Takeshita. Bandido quickly escaped and tagged King, who connected with a double senton on Alexander & Takeshita. Fast tags from JetSpeed, until Bailey was grounded and Okada & Takeshita tagged in at the same time, leading to a face-off. Each got back on the same page initially, but King returned and ran them both over with a clothesline and cannonball off the apron outside. JetSpeed & Bandido (with an assist from King) hit triple dives to the floor, leading to commercial.

Back from break, Don Callis made a Danny Hodge comparison to Josh Alexander, which Taz questioned if Callis was 90 years old? King made the hot tag and cleaned house, including Okada taking a Boss Man Slam. Hechicero dodged a corner cannonball, as Alexander hit a stalling German. Takeshita flattened Bailey with a pop-up powerbomb, but Knight saved his partner with a pendulum DDT. Knight at a flapjack by Okada, who Bandido spiked with a suplex. Hechicero quickly in and hammerlock back breaker. King returned as he & Hechicero collided with cross body attempts for the reset. Bailey & Takeshita properly tag in, as Bailey took his head off with a wheel kick, but Takeshita answered with the haymaker forearm. Takeshita tried a sunset flip, but Bailey countered into a backflip double knees, but the whole Callis Family made the save.

As Okada was going to charge at Bailey in the corner, Takeshita pulled him out of the way to drop Bailey and it led to another face-off with Takeshtia & Okada. Brodido put a stop to it and mowed down Okada, as Hechicero low bridged King, but Bandido flew over the top with Hechicero outside. Takeshita hit a somersault plancha onto the pile, as back inside, Bailey tried a flash pin on Alexander, Okada made the save, tried a Rainmaker, Bailey ducked and Okada took a Knight springboard clothesline. Alexander was planted by Bailey, who went up top for a Shooting Star Press, but Alexander moved and got an inside cradle for the flash pin.

Match Result: Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Josh Alexander & Hechicero defeated Brodido & JetSpeed when Alexander pinned Bailey

Hangman Page Has New Threats But A Familiar Backup

Hangman Adam Page power walked to the ring to a huge ovation from the 2300 Arena fans. Page said before he gets started, he wants to thank Will Ospreay for everything he’s done for himself and for AEW. Page genuinely is sorry for everything that’s happened to Ospreay since All In and says while he’s gone, all of us will miss him. Recover, heal up and when the time is right, come back to do what he’s the best at and challenge Page for the AEW World Championship. Page said regarding the title, MJF had a chance at it and failed, throwing everything he had at Page and still failed. Everything MJF has done in the past, now he must give a 7-day notice to cash in his contract, but whenever MJF choose to sign it, he will beat his ass before the ink is dry.

Don Callis interrupts, having something important to say to the champ. They have a long history, as Page won his first AEW World Title from Callis, as the only reason he took it from him was due to having a weakling Page took it from. Callis wants that title back in the Don Callis Family and Page doesn’t get to decide who he gets to face, as there’s a whole locker room back there wanting a shot, he know that since he has half under contract. It’s not a matter of if, but who will take it from him? Rocky Romero, Hechicero, Josh Alexander & Lance Archer all surround the ring. Page hits a slingshot dive on Alexander, before the numbers immediately became too much. JetSpeed tried to even the odds, until Callis handed Romero a steel baton, as Bailey got blasted in the ribs. Kenny Omega’s music hit, as he flattens Hechicero with a V-Trigger on the aisle. Snap Dragons to Romero & Alexander, as Archer tried a choke slam, but Omega got the baton and got free. JetSpeed hit dueling dives on Romero & Alexander, while Page & Omega dusted off a page from their old tag playbook and took out Archer with a Buckshot V-Trigger. Omega hugged Page, as JetSpeed joined them to stand tall.

-Video package for the ROH Women’s Title match this weekend between Athena & Mina Shirakawa. Toni Storm was standing by with Shirakawa after Forbidden Door, saying Athena is beatable, defeatable and eatable and Shirakawa is the Love Bum will devour her before asking Shirakawa how her hand is? Shirakawa slapped Storm in the chest and Storm say My God, You’re Back! Athena told Renee Paquette that she’ll toss Shirakawa off the 2300 Arena, made a Blue Meanie reference and said what she does to Shirakawa will make The Sandman piss his pants.

The Opps (Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & Powerhouse Hobbs) vs. Ricochet & G.O.A. (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) for the AEW Trios Titles

(Back and forth match, but one you knew shenanigans would happen in, seeing as Ricochet & G.O.A. cost The Hurt Syndicate the Tag Titles at Forbidden Door. I’m not sure who The Opps feud with going forward, as it’s obvious Ricochet & G.O.A. will have their hands full with Lashley & Benjamin. I also know it’s been said before, but credit Toa Liona, who has gotten himself in incredible shape over the past year.)

Hobbs immediately no sold Ricochet’s offense, just taking Ricochet’s head off with an overhand strike and follow-up powerslam. Kaun made the blind tag, but was ran over by a shoulder tackle, leading to a Shibata tag. Forearm and chop exchange with Shibata & Kaun, who had his chest turn purple, leading to a stalling corner Shibata dropkick. Ricochet got a cheap shot from the apron, leading to Shibata get the boots put to him on the outside heading to commercial.

Shibata was worked over the entire break until finally he was able to plant Kaun with a leg sweep slam before making a hot tag to Hobbs. Meat chants ring out as Hobbs & Liona tag in and slug it out trading corner clotheslines. Finally, Hobbs was able to get the better of Liona, as Joe makes the tag and lights up Ricochet with a snap powerslam and running senton for two. Muscle Buster broke up by Liona, as Kaun flew in with a shotgun dropkick and Liona with a Pounce. Hobbs suffered the same fate, but Kaun ran right into a STO. Springboard dropkick and running Shooting Star by Ricochet on Joe, but Shibata broke up the cover. Shibata sank in a Rear Naked Choke on Liona, who rolled to the apron, as Ricochet went up top, but was cracked by MVP and his cane. Hobbs hit a Spinebuster, Shibata with the PK, as Joe sank in the Coquina Clutch for the submission.

Post-match, The Opps left with the titles, as G.O.A. held up Ricochet, but dropped him as The Hurt Syndicate’s music hit. The brawl was on with Liona, Kaun, Lashley & Benjamin, as they brawled to the back, leaving Ricochet to recover alone in the ring.

Match Result: The Opps defeated Ricochet & G.O.A. to retain the AEW Trios Titles when Joe submitted Ricochet

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Darby Allin in a Falls Count Anywhere Match

(Wild weapons filled brawl to end the first night of AEW’s residency at the 2300 Arena. It’s exactly what you would’ve hoped for in a match like this, as this was Allin’s first match back on TV since he was booted down the flight of stairs last year by Death Riders. Allin was able to get some sort of revenge besting Castagnoli, but he’s going to have to obviously get through Gabe Kidd if he wants to make it to Moxley. The crowd at the end of the show were really hoping for a huge return from Eddie Kingston, chanting his name in hopes he’d help Allin from the beating, but it was not meant to be, at least not tonight. The crowd clearly misses Kingston, myself included.)

As Castagnoli was walking backstage to make his entrance, Allin leapt off a loading trailer to attack immediately. Castagnoli quickly threw him into a shopping cart and crashed him into a bunch of set-up chairs before grabbing a flat screen TV and slamming Allin through it. Bringing him out onto the entrance area, Castagnoli delivered a Giant Swing into the barricade for two. Allin responded by flying through the ropes with a dive before scaling one of the giant beams and hitting a Coffin Drop off it. In the ring now, Allin charged, but Castagnoli hit a massive pop-up uppercut for two. Castagnoli demands the commentary crew clear out, as similarly to what he did at Forbidden Door, he pressed Allin over his head, charged and darted him from the ring through the announce table as things went to break. Had Castagnoli done this to any other side of the arena, it would’ve been a Bam Bam Bigelow/Spike Dudley flashback.

During commercial, Castagnoli threw a bunch of chairs in the ring, while setting tables up in the corners, as Allin desperately tried fighting back, only to keep getting squashed. Back in the ring, Castagnoli had his leg kicked out, as Allin sank in a Guillotine. Castagnoli powered up, but Allin transitioned into a Rear Naked Choke. Castagnoli threw his way free, charged, but Allin side-stepped and Castagnoli crashed through a table. Allin wore out Castagnoli with a chair, placing it around his neck, going up top, but was cut off. Castagnoli stacked the chairs and delivered an Avalanche Gut Wrench onto the pile for two. A furious Castagnoli bealed Allin onto the table, which didn’t break, but a powerbomb did, only again, Allin kicked out.

Castagnoli exposed the corner turnbuckle, wanted a slingshot, but Allin landed on his feet in the ropes and delivered a bounce back double stomp. Victory roll got a near fall, as Castagnoli charged, Allin with a drop toe hold into the exposed buckle and Code Red for another two. Allin quickly up top for a Coffin Drop, then one more for good measure for the win.

Post-match, Gabe Kidd hit the ring and planted Allin with an overhead suplex, as Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir joined, calling the shots. Kidd picked up Allin, who shot a double leg on Moxley, got in a few shots, but Kidd pulled him away. Allin sent Kidd & Moxley colliding into one another before bailing and avoiding any more of a beating. Kidd went after Allin and fought through the crowd. Moxley ultimately just left with Shafir, as Kidd was with them furious to end the show.

Match Result: Darby Allin defeated Claudio Castagnoli

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with theme for Bryan Danielson hitting, as he’s welcomed to a huge ovation while he makes his way to join Excalibur & Tony Schiavone on commentary tonight. Will Ospreay’s theme then hits and it’s time to open the show with the face-off Ospreay requested last week.

Will Ospreay & Jon Moxley Face-To-Face

A speechless Ospreay took in the chants from the crowd before thanking them for cheering him up during one of the worst stretches of his life. Ospreay reminisced about the days when he wrestled in Scotland and loved the food, which got a Sausage Roll chant. Ospreay has grown up in front of these fans, thanking them for being his people. Ospreay said after what Death Riders did to him, it was the first time he’s felt human, as he always assumed he could get through wrestling unharmed, to the point where Taka Michinoku once called him an alien. Ospreay realized he’s going to have to travel down a road that many wrestlers have, as last week, he was told he wasn’t cleared for Forbidden Door. Lights Out Steel Cage means unsanctioned, it’s out of AEW’s hands, if he gets hurt, it’s no one’s fault but his own. Fans chanted Please Don’t Die, as Ospreay is aware of the risks, but AEW means so much to him. He’s here to prove a point that he’ll be the standard for these three letters. If there’s a chance he can’t be the same Will Ospreay after Sunday, he’s leaving it all out there come Forbidden Door. Ospreay is doing this all for revenge, as he’s entering the Lights Out Cage with 4 of his best friends wanting the same thing. Before doctors take a scalpel to him and his neck, he’s going to take a pound of flesh from Jon Moxley.

Right on cue, the music for Moxley hits and he walks into the arena with Marina Shafir by his side. Bryan Danielson said he promised Tony Khan he’d be a commentator, not seeking revenge for what Moxley did to him almost a year ago at WrestleDream. After an intense face-off, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta slowly join on the apron. Ospreay said if Moxley wants to get rid of him, don’t have his boys do it, do it yourself. Before Moxley could say anything, JetSpeed hit the ring and started fighting with Death Riders, as Ospreay left, while Hiroshi Tanahashi’s music hit and he came to the ring to kick off our opening contest.

Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi & JetSpeed (Speedball Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight)

(To say this was chaotic would be an understatement, but then, what would you expect for the last push into a Lights Out Cage Match that guarantees nothing but chaos? Adding in War Dogs into the bunch leads me to believe we’re getting them vs. The Opps at the PPV, which should be a very solid Trios match. Commentary really drove home how fragile Ospreay’s neck was during that brawl, which should be a huge focal point come Sunday.)

Tanahashi & Moxley slugged it out right away before Death Riders made fast tags, keeping Tanahashi isolated early. Dragon Screw sent Yuta flying, as Bailey made the tag and lit up Yuta with kicks until a running Shooting Star got a near fall. Yuta dodged a high kick into an Angle Slam before tagging Castagnoli. Right in front of referee Bryce, Shafir swept Kevin Knight’s legs out from the apron and put the boots to him, resulting not in a DQ, but an ejection. Ospreay strolled out to the ramp and carried Shafir out with him, while a Giant Swing from Castagnoli on Bailey was broke up by Knight leaping over the swing into a dropkick as a huge springboard dive by Knight took things to commercial.

Despite having the advantage going into break, it was all Death Riders picking apart Knight during picture in picture. Finally, a huge dropkick to Castagnoli & thrust kick to Moxley led to a Tanahashi hot tag, as he flattened Yuta with a flying forearm and somersault senton off the second. Bailey sent Moxley outsider, where he hit a top rope springboard moonsault to the floor, as Knight flew in with a missile dropkick on Castagnoli. Sling Blade connected on Yuta, but Moxley & Castagnoli made the save, only to be cut off by JetSpeed and we got a three-way Twist & Shout. Bullet Club War Dogs Gabe Kidd, Drilla Moloney, Clark Connors & Robbie X all ran to ringside to run distraction, as Tanahashi was crotched on the top rope. Cameras cut to Will Ospreay walking back out with presumably Marina Shafir over his shoulder in a body bag. Everyone was distracted, allowing JetSpeed to take out Castagnoli & Moxley with double dives, while Tanahashi hit a High Fly Flow on Yuta for the win.

Post-match, War Dogs & Death Riders attacked Tanahashi & JetSpeed in the ring, while The Young Bucks appeared and laid out Ospreay on the ramp with a superkick. Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly made the save and brawled with The Bucks to the back, as Death Riders came up to make the save for who they thought was Shafir in the body bag, but it was Darby Allin, who exploded out and he pounced on Castagnoli. The Opps showed up and brawled with War Dogs, as it’s all out chaos, with everyone spilling into the crowd. A giant pile of bodies continues to brawl until Allin flew in with a massive Coffin Drop onto all the heels. The Opps, Ospreay & Allin head back to the ring to stand tall with Tanahashi & JetSpeed, as Death Riders & War Dogs are forced to furiously regroup.

Match Result: Hiroshi Tanahashi & JetSpeed defeated Death Riders when Tanahashi pinned Yuta

Adam Copeland & Christian Cage Reunite

Tony Schiavone first welcomes Copeland out and the Scottish crowd sang his theme loudly until Cage’s music hit and he joined in the ring. Danielson said last week, he saw one man hug another and one didn’t seem to reciprocate, that being Cage, who he doesn’t know if he’s all in for this reunion. Cage said first things first, Glasgow needs to sit down and shut up, but Copeland ripped the mic away asking why he’s still got to do that, the fans love them, they’re one of the greatest teams of all time, but admits Cage is an asshole. Except Copeland admits, Cage is his asshole.

Schiavone asks if Cage has found himself and Cage admits he’s done just that. Cage found that he’s perfect just the way he is, he doesn’t have to change a thing. People might wonder if Copeland & Cage are on the same page and they are not, not by a long shot, as there’s a lot of scar tissue. They might be on the different page, but they’re at least in the same book. Cage said this is a reunion of necessity, as Copeland helps Cage with his Nick & Kip problem, while Cage can help with Copeland’s FTR problem. While Cage’s word hasn’t meant much in the past, Cage will look at Copeland and say he’ll be the best tag team partner he’s ever had. They shake hands until Kip Sabian & Mother Wayne walk to the stage.

Sabian said it’s pathetic Cage is seeking admiration from the people he once despised? Shayna asked how dare they boo not just a mother, but the Mother of The Prodigy, Nick Wayne. Nick is shown on the big screen with crutches in hand, saying last Wednesday, Cage saved Copeland, but he wasn’t far behind. While Cage swung that spiked board last week, in dodging him, Nick broke his foot. Cage took Forbidden Door away from him, a night he would’ve made a reunion into a farewell tour, embarrassing them and taking Cage’s career from him. It’s a blessing in disguise he won’t be there Sunday, but tells Cage he’s always one step ahead.

A video plays on the big screen of Killswitch seemingly coming back to life, as he then power walks to the ring with Sabian & Shayna. Cage clotheslined Sabian over the top, not realizing Killswitch laid out Copeland with a chokeslam. Cage & Killswitch had a stare down with the crowd chanting Luchasaurus, as Killswitch was about to walk off, when he turned back and laid out Cage as well with a chokeslam. Killswitch stood tall with Sabian & Shayna over a fallen Copeland & Cage, as we’re told it’s official, Killswitch replaces Nick in the tag match at Forbidden Door.

-Mark Briscoe is frantically pacing around backstage and told the camera man he flew all the way to Scotland to make sure MJF doesn’t make it to Forbidden Door, he’s going to kill him.

**********

-Ricochet is backstage with The Gates of Agony and are immediately interrupted by MJF, who said bald people and the thought of being bald freak him out, but he’s here to conduct business. While he doesn’t like Ricochet, the enemy of my enemy is his friend and wants them to help him take out Mark Briscoe. Ricochet said he’d love to see MJF run around like a chicken with his head cut off, but admits he has an issue still with Briscoe and accepts his offer. They shake hands until MJF tells the camera to shut off.

FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler w/Stokely) vs. Brodido (Brody King & ROH Champion Bandido) in the Finals of the AEW Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament

(One hell of a tag match, a Dynamite classic, as the fans ramped up as time continued to tick down. I had no idea which team would take this initially, but turned out, both would be the correct answer. My one complaint is, yet another three-way for the Tag Titles on a PPV. I’m sure it’ll be a great match, but I wonder if this is the time we get new champs and if this is a way for The Syndicate to lose without taking an actual pin, which I’m sure would do wonders for online rumors.)

Stokely still has the mask of Bandido they stole from last week on Collision, as Danielson said FTR is probably the greatest tag team of his generation. Bandido & Harwood kick things off with a much slower pace than you’d expect, as each were jockeying for position with multiple shoulder tackles, headlock takedowns and leg sweep attempts leading to a stalemate. Wheeler tagged in, as Bandido started to ramp up, teased a dive, but FTR ran for higher ground. Harwood tried throwing in multiple chairs, but referee Paul Turner impressively caught both of them. The Hurt Syndicate were watching backstage, as King tagged in, rag dolled Wheeler, but as Harwood hit a piledriver, King no sold, stacked FTR on top of each other and hit a huge running senton. Cazadora Splash combo by Brodido got a near fall, as Wheeler saved his partner, while Stokely cracked King in the head with a pipe that he had hidden in his sling. Harwood scolded the crowd to show Stokely respect as things went to break, while King is now bleeding from the pipe shot.

It was all FTR during break, but when things returned, King immediately made a hot tag to Bandido, who ran wild. Code Red got a close near fall on Harwood, as Bandido sent both men crashing outside, leading to an attempted dive, only FTR caught Bandido in the air and slammed him face first on the apron. Bandido remained isolated, while King continued pouring blood on the apron, wanting a tag. Harwood wanted a superplex, but Bandido relentlessly chopped free and hit a high cross body for two with things heading to a second commercial.

We’re welcomed back to a Bandido double hurricanrana and DDT with King finally able to make the tag to a huge pop. Chops and forearms dished out aplenty. Big cannonball senton in the corner led to King floating over in his corner, blind tag from Bandido, as King took out FTR with a somersault senton off the apron, as Bandido flew in with a dive. Harwood sent back inside, as Wheeler was squished with a King cross body against the barricade. Referee sees Stokely try to trip up Bandido, but did nothing, as Bandido kicked him away and got back the mask Stokely stole, putting it on and hitting a Frog Splash on Harwood for two. Wheeler escaped a King powerslam outside, posted King and hit a Tornado DDT off the apron. FTR wanted the Power-Plex, but King choked Wheeler off the apron. The Hurt Syndicate looked annoyed backstage, as Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashely walked off. King was crotched in the corner, as Harwood hit a back superplex, as Wheeler flew in with a splash for a close two, as Danielson lost his mind on commentary.

Arkady Aura told us 25 minutes have passed, right as King ate a Shatter Machine, only FTR missed the blind tag. Bandido flew in with a Victory Roll on Wheeler for two, then a wonky La Magistral attempt for another near fall. FTR hit an inverted Doomsday Device, but Bandido kicked out. King saved Bandido from Shatter Machine, as he tried choking Harwood off the apron before both slugged it out. Wheeler made the save, leading to a Spike Piledriver on the edge of the ring. Before FTR could regroup, Bandido flew in with a huge Moonsault onto the floor, as 2 minutes were left. Bandido missed a moonsault, rolled through, nearly took Shatter Machine, but countered into a DDT on Wheeler, who saved his partner from taking a 21-Plex. Harwood made the save as well, leading to Shatter Machine, but King just broke it up. 1 minute call, as FTR now opts to set a table up against the barricade for some reason. Wheeler was about to hit a dive onto Bandido, but King ran in, shoved his partner out of the way and Wheeler crashed and burned as the time expired. Bandido still hit a 21-Plex on Harwood for good measure, tried to make the cover, but it was too late. Aura told us Tony Khan made it official, both teams will advance to face The Hurt Syndicate at Forbidden Door.

On cue, Lashley & Benjamin walk out to the stage and hold their Tag Titles up with Brodido & FTR looking on exhausted.

Match Result: FTR vs. Brodido went to a 30 Minute Time Limit Draw with both teams advancing to Forbidden Door

MJF Gets What He Wants from Hangman Adam Page

The AEW World Champion power walked to the ring to a huge ovation from the Scotland crowd. Page said he was attacked last week in the parking lot by MJF, which is how MJF likes to handle things, opportunistic. If MJF ever had a problem in his life, he can’t look at it head on, he doesn’t have the balls to do it. It’s a waste of everyone’s time to call MJF to the ring to get the piss beaten out of him, as he’s a gutless coward. Once MJF signed that Casino Gauntlet contract, there will be no backstabbing, Page swears to God he’ll shove his ostrich leathers up MJF’s checkered print ass.

MJF’s music hits, but he never appeared, as Tony Schiavone stood up and said he was told MJF has a message for Page backstage. According to MJF, if Page leaves the ring, something bad is going to happen. MJF is on the big screen and reminded Seabiscuit that he’s most vulnerable when he’s angry. Ricochet & The Gates of Agony are shown with Mark Briscoe, who is tied up and barely conscious. MJF said Page will give him what he wants and has three simple requests. MJF lifts a can of gas saying if Page doesn’t give him what he wants, Briscoe will be Kentucky Fried. MJF said at Forbidden Door, the title can change hands due to DQ, Count-Out and finally, he doesn’t have to use his Casino Gauntlet contract for the match. Bishop Kaun hands MJF a lighter and said Page has until the count of 5. MJF gets to 4 and Page caves and accepts saying congratulations, Hangman is still a hero. Page grabs a chair and charges backstage as things go to break.

**********

-Returning from commercial, Page power walked backstage, found Ricochet, cracking him in the back with a chair, demanding where MJF is at? Security runs in and tells Page that MJF has left, as Page laid out some of security before leaving the arena, while the Gates of Agony were late to the draw saving Ricochet. Bryan Danielson on commentary said there’s nothing scarier than a determined and vengeful Hangman Page and Excalibur tells us how stacked the deck has become for this Sunday.

AEW Women’s Champion Timeless Toni Storm & Alex Windsor vs. ROH Women’s Champion Athena & TBS Champion Mercedes Mone

(I thought this was a very solid main event, with this being a strong indication of what we’re going to get for the Women’s & TBS Title matches. Athena continues to get one over on Storm, while Mone now knows all of her challengers, with the addition of the impressive Bozilla from STARDOM added to the fold. They’ve done a really good job of making Athena’s finisher being able to be hit out of nowhere and you add to that Storm’s neck issues, it could spell trouble for the AEW Women’s Champion on Sunday.)

CMLL representative Persephone was shown watching from the crowd, as we’re told Bozilla will be the representative for STARDOM at the Forbidden Door TBS Title 4-Way. Fast start for Windsor on Mone to kick things off, as Mone responded with multiple springboard arm drags. Windsor rolled through a cross body, powered Mone up into a Fall Away Slam, throwing Mone right to Storm, who gave Mone a good whiff before channeling Fat Bastard, demanding Mone get in her belly. A freaked out Mone tagged Athena, who floated over a hip toss into a spinning arm drag before mocking Storm’s pose. Storm hit multiple trips, snap dropkick and backbreaker before tagging back in Windsor. Mone saved Athena from a double suplex, but Storm & Windsor hit a dueling corner splash and headbutts until Storm missed an assisted hip attack. Mone teased a dive, but Storm put on the brakes, grabbing Mone by the chest. Athena demanded Mone get it together, as she lowered the ropes, allowing Athena to hit a wild dive on Windsor, smacking her own head into the commentary table. Mone did her dance on the apron, but Storm sent her flying with a hip attack. Storm tried a DDT off the apron on Athena, who just slammed Storm down violently. Windsor was able to hit a running senton off the apron onto Athena & Mone, as all ladies were down heading to break.

Windsor was worked over the entire commercial, as things returned with her ducking an Athena forearm, which Mone took by mistake. This allowed a Storm hot tag, as Mongolian Chops were dished out in bunches before a Thesz Press took out Athena, as did a Fisherman’s Suplex for two. Almost a Tango Judas Effect from Storm & Windsor, as a short arm lariat followed by Windsor, but Athena kicked out. Storm tagged back in, wanted a Spike Storm Zero, but Mone sent Windsor crashing off the top rope. Athena got a jackknife pin attempt, Storm kicked out, but Mone made the blind tag. Lungblower/Backstabber combo from Athena & Mone, but Windsor made the save. Mone took too long mocking Windsor and missed a Meteora, as Storm was able to hit a Tornado DDT to spike Athena.

Windsor made the hot tag, delivering a series of misdirect clotheslines to Mone before kipping up into a leg sweep and short lariat for two. Mone kicked free, but ran into a Blue Thunder Bomb, which Athena broke up. Storm briefly got the TCM Chicken Wing, but both spilled outside, where Athena hit a Storm Zero on Storm on the ring steps. Series of reversals by Windsor & Mone, who didn’t see Athena make the blind tag. Windsor laid out Mone with a Samoan Drop, sank in the Scorpion Death Lock, as Mone tapped, but referee Aubrey had to tell Windsor that Mone wasn’t legal. Athena flew in with an O-Face and pinned Windsor.

Post-match, the doctor tended to Storm, who was clutching her neck, while Mone held her TBS Title in the face of Persephone, who pie-faced Mone to the ground. Windsor also stared down Persephone, while Billie Starkz celebrated with Athena & Mone on the ramp to end the show.

Match Result: Athena & Mercedes Mone defeated Timeless Toni Storm & Alex Windsor when Athena pinned Windsor

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Tony Schiavone welcoming us in the ring as he welcomes the brand new AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page to a huge reaction. Excalibur is joined by Taz, as they talk about never in their careers have they seen what went down in Arlington at All In, as Page shows the World Title for the first time on Dynamite since last year, as he limped to the ring.

Hangman Adam Page Speaks

Page is met with You Deserve It chants from the crowd, but Page said there’s more to that chant than they understand, as it’s the fans who deserve it. Every single week, the fans demanded a better version professional wrestling and supported a grass roots version, as they started a revolution to change the world and for All Elite Wrestling. Page wants them to know they just don’t do it for the AEW World Title, but for the fans, who deserve to see the championship and someone to hold it that understands the connection and has more gratitude than they’ll ever know. At All In, Page walked into a war that’d been going on for nine months to free this title. Some of those who entered the war, didn’t come out of it the same. Page thanks Orange Cassidy, Switchblade Jay White, Adam Copeland, The Opps, Bryan Danielson & Darby Allin. Page also needs to thank someone who made Page realize the future is bright in AEW, but he wasn’t able to walk out on his own at All In, Will Ospreay. Crowd start chanting Swerve’s House, as after a long delay, Page said he doesn’t know whether he helped for himself or for AEW or for one small moment, for Page himself, but to Swerve Strickland, thank you.

All In was a rollercoaster for Page and not ashamed that he shed not only buckets of blood, but some tears. People like Jon Moxley would call him weak, but Page has a wife and two kids that loves him. Fans who can look and respect Page and if Moxley wants to look at what kind of man Page is, he can do it tonight, as Page is the Mother F’N Champion of the World. Excellent first promo for Page to kick off his second reign as AEW World Champion.

-Massive video package on All In Texas was shown, highlighting that it was the highest grossing gate in AEW and all social media accomplishments to the theme of Machinehead by Bush.

-Matt & Nick Jackson (Excalibur said they no longer are bullied to call them Matthew & Nicholas) arrived to the building in an Uber, as they no longer have EVP status, covering their faces up from the cameras as they got their bags from the trunk.

Kyle Fletcher (w/Don Callis & Lance Archer) vs. Mascara Dorada

(Really good bounce back win for Fletcher after leaving All In without the TNT Title. I loved the pivot they did at the show to give Dustin Rhodes the unexpected win, as you can easily do a brief story with them, as Fletcher has to continue fighting his way to the title, but all roads are seemingly leading to him finally becoming TNT Champion, which I assume was the goal for All In before the Adam Cole injury.)

Fletcher steamrolled Dorada with a big boot and punches in bunches at the bell. Callis & Archer walked out to ringside after the match began, as Dorada fought back with flips, scaling the top into a spinning arm drag. Blocking a corner charge, Dorada went to the ring post, leapt off onto a springboard until Fletcher hit another charging boot, this time to the outside. Fletcher missed a dive through the ropes, allowing Dorada to respond with a Tornillo. Quickly back inside, Dorada missed a dive, as Fletcher hit a spinning sit-out side slam into commercial.

It was all Fletcher during break, until Dorada countered a powerbomb into a snap hurricanrana for a near fall. Fletcher dodged multiple springboards, but not the third go around, as Dorada hit a head scissors and thrust kick to the outside. Dorada connected on a massive Shooting Star Press off the middle rope, as back inside, Dorada fired off a series of kicks into a Code Red for two. Dorada took way too long to go up top, as Fletcher booted him in the face, couldn’t get the avalanche brainbuster, as Dorada got free, hit a corkscrew hurricanrana and 450 Splash for a near fall. Massive chops by Dorada, who followed with a thrust kick and Tijeras, but Fletcher answered with a lawn dart in the corner, flying kick and Sheer Drop Brainbuster for the win. Fletcher said to the camera that Dustin Rhodes stole the biggest moment of his life and it’s his mission to take everything from him. Tony Schiavone said we’ll hear from Rhodes this Saturday on Collision.

Match Result: Kyle Fletcher defeated Mascara Dorada

-Renee Paquette caught up with Matt & Nick Jackson, who were in search of their locker room. Paquette gleefully reminded them about their loss at All In before trying to greet Marina Shafir who walked by, giving them the cold shoulder. A door with the EVP sign is being crossed off and labeled just for Matt & Nick as Ricochet & Gates of Agony walks in saying it sucks to be them. They laugh and walk away as Matt says it’s so much disrespect. Don Callis walks in and agrees, they lose one match and are treated like jobbers. Since Kenny Omega is dead, maybe they can join forces, since they’re the greatest tag team of all time. Matt said they’ll never join his Family, but maybe they can talk. Callis said he has like 15 family members who will be their friends and gives The Bucks a hug, as they are reluctantly accepting his offer to join forces.

**********

ROH Champion Bandido, Brody King & JetSpeed (Speedball Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight) vs. Josh Alexander, Hechicero (w/Don Callis & Lance Archer) & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)

(An action packed PWG style party match, as everyone was flying in and out of the ring for a majority of this one. This really helped further the new feud between Hechicero & Bandido, as that’s obviously the next program for the ROH Title and this was a good way in making Hechicero a legit threat. The Bucks feeling lost without their EVP status will be a funny angle to go off of for a bit, but I do hope this means we get more matches from them on AEW TV more frequently going forward.)

The Bucks initially had their EVP entrance, but it was cut off with zero pyro and footage of them losing at All In was their tron video, as well as a PowerPoint version saying Matt & Nick with the EVP words crossed out. A giddy Justin Roberts introduced them as former EVPs, quickly saying The Young Bucks. King no sold early Alexander offense, so King cracked him in the back with a stiff chop. The Bucks didn’t want to tag, so Hechicero & Bandido tag in for as Taz called Hechicero the Crazy, Dancing Man. Bandido hit a springboard hurricanrana before JetSpeed made quick tags, initially thwarting The Bucks sneak attack with an assisted cross body by Knight and then a double dive to the floor for good measure. Back inside, Alexander got a cheap shot, allowing Nick to hit a punt kick on Knight and assisted pop-up hurricanrana on Bandido. Double superkick on Knight and another off the shoulders of Alexander, as Bailey suffered a double stomp bounce back powerbomb, as Nick hit a huge springboard dive onto a pile into commercial.

Back from break, Knight was continued to be worked over by Hechicero before both slugged it out leading to a double down. Alexander hit a spinning Torture Rack Slam, as The Bucks then wanted to get in, were going for an EVP Trigger, but realized they had to rename it, allowing Knight to capitalize with a double dropkick and hot tag to Bailey, who ran wild with rapid fire kicks. Bailey missed a running Shooting Star on Nick, but connected on a moonsault to the outside onto Matt. Back inside, missile dropkick connected on Nick, who Matrixed out of taking a superkick, but Bailey escaped More Bang For Your Buck into a backflip double knees onto them both. King tagged in and mowed through the Callis Family members, corner cannonball on Hechicero, before a Tope wiped out the rest, but not before Bandido made the blind tag.

King assisted Bandido with a handspring moonsault onto the pile outside before quickly back inside, Alexander saved Hechicero in the corner. JetSpeed flew in and out with dives, as Bandido hit his Revolution Fly, but The Bucks broke the count. The match broke down as Alexander ate a Poison Rana from Bailey, but The Bucks had a brief Superkick Party until a 15% allowed Bandido to hit Nick with a pop-up cutter and X-Knee. 21-Plex was blocked by Alexander, allowing The Bucks to hit an assisted Indy Taker and Hechicero hit a roll, as Bandido was popped up into a double superkick. Hechicero sank in a sleeper, as The Bucks & Alexander held off the opposition as Bandido passed out.

Match Result: Josh Alexander, Hechicero & The Young Bucks defeated Bandido, JetSpeed & Brody King when Hechicero submitted Bandido

Adam Copeland Speaks

The graphic for this show said Adam Copeland, but he’s still being called Cope on his tron video and Justin Roberts intro. Aragon Ballroom did a very solid job singing his themes, as Cope thanks the fans and said that kind of reaction is the reason he keeps doing this. Lots of question after All In, most notably did he come back to save Christian Cage and the answer is no, as Cage is an a**hole. From the second he’s arrived in AEW, Cage has tried to make his life miserable. Cope ran down everything Cage has done to him, even costing him his AEW Title match with Jon Moxley to cash in his title contract and losing. Cope doesn’t blame Nick Wayne, Kip Sabian & Mother Wayne for what they did at All In, as Cope told Cage this would happen, as he hopes now, Cage is pulling his giant cranium out of his ass. Cope didn’t come back to help Cage, he came back to get revenge on FTR.

Five years ago, Cope got his dream back and the first people he called, were FTR, who he knew could whip him back into shape. Cope said even in a different company, he suggested winning Trios Titles as Rated FTR, but when they finally got together, after a few weeks, they started complaining that they were glorified Edge-heads. The thing about megalomaniacs is they blame everyone else, but not look in the mirror. For four months, they put Cope on the shelf, which might not seem like a long time, but every time he steps in the ring could be his last, so that’s four months he’ll never get back. Cope didn’t return for championships, it’s to end FTR.

Stokely Hathaway makes his way to the ring with security guards. Hathaway said FTR read Cope like a book, as he’s met with Shut the F Up chants, which Hathaway said sounds like a Hathaway Family Reunion. He has a question for Cope, the weapon he had at All In, Spike, is a liability, so much so that after the PPV, AEW, Tony Khan & Warner Media received three anonymous e-mails about Cope’s behavior. Moving forward, if Cope interferes in FTR’s matches, he’ll be fired. FTR aren’t scared of Cope, they’re focused on the AEW Tag Team Titles. Hathaway told Cope to find a hobby and leave FTR alone.

Cope said Hathaway sounds like an angry Oompa Loompa, who said he can’t get near FTR, but said nothing about Hathaway. Cope took out two guards, while the other two ran for their lives, leaving Hathaway to slowly turn around and take a Spear from Cope, who screams that he will have all of them.

-History of Mark Briscoe’s run-ins with the Death Riders is recapped ahead of tonight’s main event, but Briscoe still has his sights set on MJF. Briscoe is backstage and said if it walks, talks and acts like a b*tch, it’s a b*tch. MJF dodged Briscoe that entire Casino Gauntlet, as the two things Briscoe needed to do was to whoop MJF’s ass and get that title shot, but thanks to MJF, he accomplished neither. Briscoe thought he’d be done with MJF, but they’re just getting started. Briscoe made his debut a few years ago under unfortunate circumstances and brings up MJF mentioning his brother Jay a few weeks ago. Some call it karma, you reap what you sow, Briscoe will make MJF pay for his sins.

Willow Nightingale vs. Kris Statlander vs. Thekla vs. Queen Aminata in a $100,000 4-Way Fight

(I enjoyed this fast paced 4-way quite a bit, as the crowd were loudly into it from the opening bell. They did a good job continuing the feuds between Thekla & Aminata and Nightingale & Statlander while having everyone get in their signature moves and having a chance to win this. The new association between Hart, Blue & Thekla seems to be the direction they’re going, as Aminata will need backup if she hopes to combat that trio.)

Fast start by Thekla, who ran house on everyone, until Statlander caught a corner charge into a delayed vertical suplex and kip up. Thekla avoided a press slam, fired off a thrust kick, but Aminata pulled her outside, where Statlander flew in with a baseball slide. Aminata quickly got in with a sliding boot in the ropes, as she & Nightingale took turns squashing Statlander with a senton and double stomp. Aminata gave Nightingale Chocolate Kisses that was broke up by Thekla and a running boot. Nightingale planted Thekla with a Torture Rack backbreaker before Aminata fought with her to the apron and delivered a headbutt. Aminata climbed the ropes, but Thekla made her crash and burn before hitting a top rope cross body to the floor on Nightingale & Statlander into break.

When things returned, Thekla was fighting off both Statlander & Nightingale until Statlander avoided a head scissors, placed Thekla in the corner, where Aminata returned, only for Thekla to rise into a Spider Suplex. Thekla sent Statlander crashing into Nightingale before doing her Spider Walk and huge Spear. Nightingale missed a swing, but Aminata connected with her headbutt on Thekla and spinning Fisherman’s Suplex on Statlander. Nightingale cleans house briefly, Statlander in with discus lariats until Aminata hit a headbutt as everyone collapsed.

Aminata & Thekla and Statlander & Nightingale were paired off, as Statlander hit a Blue Thunder Bomb, Aminata with an Air Raid Crash, as Nightingale hit a Doctor Bomb on Thekla, but Statlander pulled out Referee Aubrey. Nightingale & Statlander brawled up the ramp, as back inside, Aminata hit a neckbreaker and double stomp off the top on Thekla for two. Skye Blue then walks to the ring and runs distraction, allowing Julia Hart to appear and mist Aminata. Thekla connects with a Curb Stomp and gets the win. Taz said Thekla should Venmo Blue & Hart some of her winnings, as all three ladies stood tall over a fallen Aminata.

Match Result: Thekla defeated Queen Aminata, Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander pinning Aminata

Timeless Toni Storm’s Victory Speech

The AEW Women’s Champion appeared in one of the balconies, as she’s met with a standing ovation. Storm said enough of this gay banter, as this whore you all adore, the slut you can’t rebut, the b*tch you want to itch, the skank you want to spank, this trollop you can’t wallop, this tramp is still the champ. Storm thanks Mercedes Mone for going All In with her, as they did everything they set out to do. In case Mone forgot, Storm said if she made one false move, she’d eat Mone alive and darling, you were delicious. If Mone wants to come back for seconds, then from her lips to hers, this buffet is always open. Storm is sad to announce Luther was injured in the line of duty (Taz is delighted with that news) and requires reattachment surgery.

And now, Storm’s tits are pointing to the future, as there are so many people with the knives, so she ought to be careful, as this title is the big one in this company, building and planet. Athena & Billie Starkz appear on the big screen, as Athena said the big one is the ROH Women’s Championship. Storm will be the wide hipped Heffer that no one will care about. While Luther is injured, so is Mina Shirakawa, who she injured at All In. No one is watching Storm’s back, so she can take her title tonight, London, Canada or (Athena appeared to sign the contract, but we don’t know for when) as she’s having too much with this, as Storm’s demise and murder are here.

Storm said Athena is ready, Storm will be sweaty, if you’re willing, Storm will be thrilling, if you’re able, Storm will bend you over the table because Storm is Timeless. We’re told Storm will face Billie Starkz next week on Dynamite.

-Kip Sabian, Nick & Mother Wayne are backstage, Sabian said he was the one who chose Christian Cage as a father figure. Then realized what their real purpose was with his brother, Nick, not under a Patriarch, but a Matriarch.

Mother Wayne said Cage had trouble getting up on Saturday, which is nothing new for him. These are her boys, Nick is her son, our Prodigy.

Nick said the answer is simple, Cage was passed his expiration date, as he became a liability for The Patriarchy. They realized that when Cage went on his own path to become the World Champion. Cage used to love getting into Nick’s face about the titles he’s won, but Cage forgot Nick is 21 years old and the youngest champion in the company’s history and the question is how many titles will Nick win over his career. Nick said everyone will be forced to view him as the face of TNT and AEW now and forever.

-Don Callis walks out holding the Continental & International Titles saying they witnessed history at All In and tonight, for the first time, Kazuchika Okada has unified the titles and is the Unified Champion, the greatest wrestler in the world, The Rainmaker. Okada walked out in a new entrance robe and new theme, as it’s completely different from the theme Okada has used the last 12-13 years. While the theme is fine, I’m going to assume a lot of folks won’t be happy with this decision, as that theme was legendary.

AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada vs. Rafael Quintero

Okada hit a big boot, dropkick and Rainmaker for the easy win.

Post match, Callis said Okada has something to say, as he said Swerve Strickland screwed his friends The Young Bucks, you b*tch. Strickland’s music hit and he walks out with Prince Nana, saying yeah he did that, what is Okada going to do about it, b*tch? Callis whispered something to Okada and they both retreated with Okada staring down Strickland from the ramp.

Match Result: Kazuchika Okada defeated Rafael Quintero

**********

AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page, AEW Trios Champion Powerhouse Hobbs & Mark Briscoe vs. Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta w/Marina Shafir)

(I liked the story they told for most of the match that Moxley was almost distracted by the fact he lost his title on Saturday and didn’t really contribute much outside of a kick or punch here and there. The wheels continue to fall off for Death Riders, as it’ll be interesting to see how they regroup coming off multiple losses as their fortunes have completely turned over the past week. Their collapse continues, all with Darby Allin watching on intently.)

Really cool entrance for the Death Riders walking into the Aragon Ballroom, as Hobbs wasted no time attacking Castagnoli, the man who put Samoa Joe on the shelf a bit at All In. Meat lariats delivered in the corner before Hobbs tagged Page, who mounted Castagnoli with a full mount and punches in bunches. Yuta tagged in and immediately got beat up by everyone, as fast tags were made by Briscoe & Hobbs, as a very reluctant Moxley slowly stepped in the ring, only to retreat during commercial.

Back from break, Hobbs caught a diving Yuta until Moxley made the save with a hair pull, which only pissed off Hobbs, as Moxley’s reaction was priceless to this. Hobbs went to chase Yuta, but Shafir stood in his way, giving enough time for Castagnoli to hit a chop block and Shafir a chance to get in some cheap shots. Shafir paint brushed Hobbs right in front of referee Paul Turner, who did literally nothing, as Moxley sank in a rear naked choke and drove Hobbs into the steps. Back inside, Castagnoli delivered a Giant Swing on Hobbs before Moxley finally entered the match officially to deliver one boot before tagging Yuta. Hobbs hit a snap powerslam and hot tag to Briscoe, who ran wild, lighting Moxley up with chops and Castagnoli with palm strikes. Enzugiri on Moxley, as Yuta distracted the ref, allowing Shafir to jump up and rake the eyes of Briscoe. At 5 minutes past the hour, we go to another commercial break.

When things returned, Moxley got a cheap shot in on Page before hitting a piledriver on Briscoe. Yuta & Castagnoli swarmed Hobbs ringside, leaving Briscoe alone in his corner. Briscoe bit free from a superplex and hit a shotgun dropkick, as Page rose up and made the hot tag to a huge reaction. House of fire (pun intended for Hangman) as Page continued to limp from the All In main event, but dropped Yuta with a pop-up powerbomb for two. Fastball Special connected, but as they went for a Doomsday Device, Page landed on his feet and sent Castagnoli outside where Briscoe hit a dive. Page connected with an Orihara Moonsault, as back inside, Page wanted Buckshot, but Moxley flew in to rake the eyes. Moxley walked back into a Spinebuster, but Yuta ran in with a Busaiku Knee, only for Briscoe to fly in with a Froggy Bow. Castagnoli ducked a Buckshot, tried a Neutralizer, but Page got a jackknife for the flash pin.

Post-match, Moxley blindsided Page as Death Riders kept up the attack with Briscoe & Hobbs sent outside. We see Darby Allin at the top of the Ballroom, which was enough for Moxley to become distracted and Page fly in with a Buckshot. Death Riders retreat, as Page, Hobbs & Briscoe stand tall with Allin staring down Moxley and crew before looking back at Page and company as the show ends.

Match Result: Hangman Adam Page, Powerhouse Hobbs & Mark Briscoe defeated Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta when Page pinned Castagnoli

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Taz & Tony Schiavone, talking about the main event for All In this Saturday, as Hangman Adam Page & Jon Moxley will be on opposing sides of the All Star 8-Man tag later tonight. Also brings up the AEW Women’s Title picture and the face-off to kick off the show.

Timeless Toni Storm & Mercedes Mone’s Final Face-to-Face

Mone was out first rocking a cowboy hat and saying her signature opening line before asking Storm to come to the ring. Storm was on the big screen and said only two things come from Texas and she’s at least one of them. Mone is sick of the silly games, but she’s the master, so stop hiding, come out and meet her face-to-face, you mark. Storm said who said she was hiding and hit her music. Storm power walks to the ring with Luther by her side. Mone said how about they have a toast, as Luther handed both glasses of champagne and Mone said cheers to herself, the future seven belt Mone. She was insulted that the champagne tasted frozen at some point. Storm said save the performative bullsh*t for her entrance, as week after week, Mone has treated her poorly. Speaking in catchphrases, she has the authenticity of a spray tan in a rain storm, the emotional depth of a kiddy pool. Storm called Mone a fraud, while the AEW Women’s Title has helped her find herself and questions what the hell Mone is so afraid of?

Mone said they’ve walked similar paths, but they are nothing alike, as she’ll always be better than Storm, especially in class. Mone isn’t afraid to leave it all on the table, being through hell and back, making the devil her b*tch. She loves that the fans hate her and no one will derail the Mone Train, especially Storm. This is her legacy, the one-woman revolution, the alpha & omega and everything in between.

Storm said legacies don’t exist, one day, we’ll all turn to dust and die. All that matters is one moment, when you step into the ring, look her in the eye and realize that she fears an ordinary life, but Storm fears and ordinary death. Storm sincerely believes Mone deserves all the titles in the World, but not hers. Mone will go down as the woman who just couldn’t win the big one. Mone said she hoped this would’ve been civil, she was wrong, messed up initially saying the PPV is Sunday, but quickly corrected (fans didn’t let her forget it though). They both finished their champagne, as Storm capped it off saying “Eat Sh*t, B*tch” and nearly dropped Mone with a Mone Maker, but Mone quickly scurried away with Storm dancing in the ring with Mone’s cowboy hat on, holding her AEW Women’s Title high in the air before writhing around the ring.

-Jon Moxley is backstage and said he knows what Hangman Page is thinking, they’ve been in a Texas Death Match before, but that was a long time ago. Moxley has been beaten, outsmarted, out-muscled before, but never lost a war of attrition, which is exactly what Saturday will be. If Page thinks he can survive longer than Moxley, can he hold the line under pressure of attack and expectations of everyone who is counting on him? Moxley thinks Page is a victim, waste, pathetic, as he has one chance to prove him wrong. Page better be willing to walk the aisle like it’s his last time ever, as whether Page likes it or not, he’ll be All In.

-The Young Bucks limousine they purchased last week pulls up to the arena, as Excalibur said it looks awful, which even Taz has to reluctantly agree with, as Matthew & Nicholas step out and give a salute before heading in for work, very late, as commentary pointed out.

Proto-shita (Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita w/Don Callis & Lance Archer) vs. ROH Champion Bandido & Brody King

(Very good tag match, as it was a preview for the presumed main event of Supercard of Honor this Friday, as Takeshita has the all-important momentum on his side heading into his battle with Bandido. Excalibur mentioned that while Fletcher has the TNT Title in his sights at All In, King, Takeshita & Bandido are expected to hopefully be in the Casino Gauntlet. I liked he added the term hopefully, as to sell that it could end at any time.)

Callis joined commentary and said he’s only talking to Taz, the only one at the table who has drawn money. King & Takeshita collide like bulls right as the bell sounded, until Takeshita went for the eyes and tagged Fletcher, who was quickly mowed down and chopped in the corner by King. Head of steam, Bandido tagged in for a sliding dropkick and King followed with a senton. Bandido wanted Takeshita in ahead of their ROH Title match this Friday at Supercard of Honor and Takeshita obliges and we get a forearm exchange. Bandido kipped up out of a shoulder tackle, as they trade tilt-a-whirl attempts until Takeshita ran through Bandido with a clothesline. Low bridge sent King to the outside, where Fletcher met him with a dive, Bandido followed, Takeshita as well and finally King hit a huge dive to complete the cycle. Back inside, Takeshita got his knees up on an assisted splash, as a double high boot sent King crashing outside, as Bandido ate a double snap dropkick into commercial.

Bandido was worked over most of the break, but when things returned, a misdirect pop-up DDT absolutely spiked Fletcher to a huge pop. King made the hot tag, flattened Fletcher with a Black Hole Slam and corner cannonball to follow for two. Fletcher managed to battle back with a desperation Michinoku Driver into the double down, allowing Bandido to tag in and hit a snap hurricanrana on Takeshita for two. Fletcher held Bandido in the corner for Takeshita to hit a Helluva Kick, as Fletcher flew in with a kick, they tried an assisted corner powerbomb, but Bandido countered mid-air with a super hurricanrana. King held back Fletcher in the ropes, as Bandido hit a Frog Splash on Takeshita, but Fletcher got free and broke the pin.

King & Fletcher spilled outside, as King tried his cross body against the barricade, but Fletcher moved and hit a running boot. Back inside, Bandido wanted a 21-Plex, but Takeshita hit an up kick, pulled Bandido to the top, but Bandido backflipped onto Fletcher outside. Bandido quickly tried a Tornillo back inside, but Takeshita popped him with a forearm in mid-air and hit Raging Fire to pin the ROH Champion.

Match Result: Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Bandido & Brody King when Takeshita pinned Bandido

-Video package on The Outrunners vs. FTR last week on Collision in a fantastic match. Magnum & Floyd talked about how close they were to winning the match, but still stood toe-to-toe, proving The Outrunners will never quit. This isn’t over between the two teams. We’re then told FTR will team with Christian Cage & Nick Wayne to take on The Outrunners & JetSpeed on Collision tomorrow night.

**********

-Renee Paquette is backstage with FTR & The Patriarchy, asking how this is going to go on Collision? Cage said he could run down FTR’s accomplishments, but he doesn’t have enough time. He’s expecting nothing but success, as he likes where FTR’s heads are at. If they scratch FTR’s backs on Collision, they scratch theirs at All In. Stokely Hathaway said it’s a miscarriage of justice that FTR aren’t included in the Tag Title match at All In, not like they’re the winningest tag team in AEW history or anything. Hathaway said it’s not Cage’s fault, so at All In, they’ll be watching and this back scratching thing, we’ll see how tomorrow goes. Hathaway has to literally pull Cage’s hand up for a handshake, as FTR walks away with Cage wiping his hand off.

Ricochet vs. Blake Christian

(This was your standard Christian match, where he got a lot of offense in, but ultimately lost, as this was a way to introduce Ricochet’s new crew he’s been searching for going on weeks now in the Gates of Agony. I like this Trio, as it gives Ricochet some muscle to hide behind as he seeks gold in AEW.)

No entrance for Christian, who had an inset promo saying he’s all alone after what the Gates of Agony did to his partner Lee Johnson on Collision. Christian said he hopes Ricochet leaves his dogs in the cage tonight, so he can kick his ass one on one. Commentary talked about Ricochet also being in the Casino Gauntlet, if his number is called), as Christian got a hot start, leaving Ricochet scrambling outside, forcing Christian to give chase, suckering him into the ring. Christian answered with a dropkick out of the corner and slapped the bald dome of Ricochet before sending him outside, following up with a twisting corkscrew dive. Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona show up on the aisle, as the distraction was enough for Ricochet to slam Christian into the steps heading to commercial.

Ricochet controlled the break, but when things returned, Christian fought back with a rolling Spanish Fly for two. Christian connected on a misdirect lariat and step-up corner kick before hitting a leaping Cutter off the second and springboard 450 Splash for another near fall. Christian wanted another dive, but Kaun & Liona tried to attack, only for Christian to step off their backs back to the apron. Ricochet distracted the ref, giving Kaun & Liona a chance to squash Christian outside, as Ricochet connected on the Spirit Gun back inside. Instead of ending it there, Ricochet hit Vertigo for good measure to win it.

Post-match, Kaun & Liona hit Open the Gates on Christian to stand tall with Ricochet, who has found his back-up.

Match Result: Ricochet defeated Blake Christian

-Renee Paquette is backstage with The Hurt Syndicate and asks about MJF’s one on one talky talk with Mark Briscoe tonight.  MJF said he’s not going out there alone tonight, as Briscoe is about to get hurt. At All In, MJF is going to get back what is rightfully his, the AEW World Title. MVP, Benjamin & Lashley left briefly to their locker room and realized their Tag Team Titles were stolen, but on the white board read

“Hey Shelton, Since I already pinned you on Collision, figured we would take the titles. Happy Birthday, JetSpeed!”

MVP, Benjamin & Lashley were furious, as they told MJF they had to deal with this. Realizing he will be all alone during the Talky Talk, as Paquette gleefully walked in to remind him that it’s up next.

-An excellent video package on Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada is shown, showing highlights of their NJPW classics and also their run-ins so far in AEW and the interjection of Don Callis and turning his back on Omega years ago in the Steel Cage Match. Callis said he will wipe Omega from the history books from All Elite Wrestling. Okada felt great seeing Omega’s blood. Omega said Okada will get a different Kenny Omega, while Okada said he will hurt and maybe kill Omega. Callis said Omega will be a footnote and he’ll be the author. It ended with Omega saying one final time, let’s leave it in the ring, for everything. This was excellent.

**********

MJF & Mark Briscoe’s Talky Talk

Tiny pickle signs and chants from the crowd, as Briscoe agreed with the fans, but told them to simmer down, it’s time for a talky talk, which MJF said is the dumbest sh*t he’s heard in his life. MJF mocks the crowd saying howdy y’all, I hope Briscoe doesn’t mosey down his way at All In, as he’ll dog walk ya. MJF said stepping in the ring with him is about as ignorant as throwing rocks at a man with a machine gun, telling the hillbilly to take a walky-walk back to his meth lab in dumpster fire Delaware to feed all 95 of his inbred children shoe leather and chicken feed, you pathetic poor. MJF did a dance and you could hear Taz break on commentary.

Briscoe said what MJF needs is a good old country ass whoopin and it’ll happen at All In. Saturday is ass whoppin day, but Wednesday is talky-talk day, as Briscoe is proud to be a redneck, working hard for every dollar he’s put in his pocket. MJF is wearing his dumbass suit and scarf that probably costs more than his entire wardrobe. MJF might have money, but the good Lord has blessed Briscoe with family and friends, which MJF is bankrupt in. The Word of the Day is Bankrupt, as MJF is morally bankrupt and has no soul. Briscoe sees right through MJF, he knows what he’s about to do. Talk some dumb sh*t about his brother to get him riled up, but Briscoe has been preparing the whole week, so go ahead.

MJF said he’d never say anything bad about his brother, who will go down as one of the best wrestlers of all time and one of the greatest people ever, as there’s a special place in heaven for someone like Jay Briscoe. However, MJF pity’s his brother, as he has to look down from the pearly gates to see what Mark Briscoe has become and he’s probably rolling in his grave seeing his brother go from being one half of one of the greatest tag teams of all time, Dem Boys, to being nothing but a joke. MJF isn’t a betting man, but he bets if Jay Briscoe was somehow able to be there tonight, he’d say Chicken, it shouldn’t have been me in that accident, it should’ve been you.

Briscoe shot a double leg and the fight was on, with Briscoe nearly getting a Jay Driller when The Hurt Syndicate music hit and out walked MVP, Shelton Bejamin & Bobby Lashley to surround the ring, but JetSpeed quickly attacked from behind. MJF tried to bolt, but Briscoe chased after him out of the building, as JetSpeed continued their attack on The Hurt Syndicate, decking them with the Tag Team Titles and slamming Benjamin into the steps, as Bailey followed with a dropkick. Running double boot flattened Lashley, as JetSpeed, finally, after weeks of getting their asses kicked, looked strong heading into All In.

The Patriarchy slowly walked out from the back, as Christian Cage & Kip Sabian slammed Lashley & MVP against the barricade. Nick Wayne joined Cage, as they gave a Con-Chair-To to the knee of Lashley repeatedly. Back in the ring, Benjmain ate a roundhouse kick from Bailey, as Knight followed with a UFO Splash. JetSpeed & The Patriarchy stared each other down, as commentary said the Tag Title match at All In now looks like a toss-up.

Megan Bayne (w/Penelope Ford) vs. Tay Melo (w/Anna Jay) vs. Queen Aminata vs. Thekla for the #2 Spot in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet at All In

(There was one person in this match who was massively over and came off like a monster, that was Bayne. That said, there was some clunky moments in this, as it felt like Melo was on a different page than others on a few occasions. I do, however, like how they kept the recent feud between Thekla & Aminata a running theme of this match, as it looks like their feud is only getting going.)

Kris Statlander is seated ringside watching who will join her to kick off the Gauntlet. Bell sounded and Bayne immediately hit a big boot on Thekla, who responded with a slap to the face, only to be sent outside. Bayne was low bridged by Melo, who met her with a somersault senton off the apron. Thekla leapt onto the pile with a cross-body, as Aminata followed with a somersault dive to stand tall, as she slammed Thekla into the barricade into commercial.

Back from break, there was supposed to be a cazadora cutter by Aminata & Melo on Thekla, but Melo missed her mark and things got awkward briefly. Once Bayne returned, she got things back on track with a series of corner splashes and sit-out slam on Aminata for two, broken up by a Thekla punt kick. Thekla tried a revolution DDT, but Bayne held on, did the deal and hit a Falcon Arrow for two. Melo & Aminata took turns ping ponging Bayne with strikes before being sent over the top with a double clothesline. Thekla ate a pump kick by Melo, Bayne flew in to take her out with a clothesline, as Thekla tried a Lungblower off the second rope, Bayne caught her and launched Thekla over the top onto Aminata & Melo. Crowd loudly popped for Bayne, who took out the pile with a Suicide Dive.

Bayne threw Melo back inside, as she no sold a jawbreaker, so Melo lit her up with kicks and hit the Tay-KO, but Bayne rolled outside. Melo somehow didn’t see Thekla standing right in the middle of the ring, as she ate a forearm, allowing Thekla to do the Spider pose and Spear, but Aminata broke the count. Series of reversals led to a cazadora pin attempt for two by Thekla, but Aminata answered with Off with Her Head, as Ford tried getting involved, but Jay brawled with her outside. Bayne returned and flattened Aminata with a running Liger Bomb to win it.

Match Result: Megan Bayne defeated Tay Melo, Queen Aminata & Thekla to earn the 2^nd Spot in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet at All In

-Excalibur mentions the recent flooding in Texas and the victims are in their thoughts during such a tough time.

**********

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Thekla, saying she’s looked impressive since joining AEW, while even though she was unsuccessful tonight, she still hasn’t been pinned. Queen Aminata sprinted in and started to brawl with Thekla, as security separated them, while Paquette hilariously stood between them saying tensions are rising ahead of All In and the Casino Gauntlet. Mark Briscoe comes in fired up and rambling saying he’s going to kill MJF’s ass at All In, you curly haired son of a b*tch.

AEW Trios Champion Samoa Joe vs. Wheeler Yuta

(When you first see the match graphic, you immediately think that Yuta was going to get slaughtered, but he got a lot more offense than you’d expect. He’s also wildly hated by the crowd, as he’s done a great job getting heat by just being Wheeler Yuta. The post-match, I think we have our answer on who will probably join Castagnoli & Yuta for the potential Trios Tag Title match against The Opps.)

“Get a Haircut” chants at Yuta, who was almost booed out of the building during his entrance. Yuta wanted a test of strength for some reason and to no one’s surprise, failed horribly. Yuta went up top, Joe was about to do his walk-off, but Yuta had it scouted, landed on his feet and faked an injury. He raked the eyes of Joe, sent him outside, tried a slingshot dive, but Joe successfully walked it off and Yuta crashed hard heading into break.

When things returned, Yuta raked the eyes to escape a Muscle Buster, followed with a missile dropkick and dive to the outside. Quickly back inside, Yuta connected on a flying elbow, but Joe kicked out at one. Yuta hit a spinning arm breaker out of the corner and sank in a kimura, but Joe got to his feet, Manhattan Drop, Big Boot, Senton signature combo before hitting a snap powerslam for two. Yuta pulled referee Bryce in front of him to get an eye poke, tried a skin the cat German suplex, but instead got an O’Connor Roll, which Joe easily kicked free from, as Yuta landed right into the Coquina Clutch for the quick submission.

Post-match, Gabe Kidd attacked Joe from behind and put the boots to him with Yuta before Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata sprinted out, as Kidd & Yuta escaped.

Match Result: Samoa Joe defeated Wheeler Yuta

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley (w/Marina Shafir), Claudio Castagnoli & The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson) vs. Hangman Adam Page, Will Ospreay & AEW Trios Champions Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata

(A wild party match that ended in total insanity, exactly what you’d want and hope for heading into the biggest show of the year this Saturday. Of course, they kept the Moxley & Page interaction a minimum during the actual match, as Moxley did everything to avoid Page as much as he could. The post-match chaos, had pretty much everything blow up in the heels faces, as all the babyfaces celebrating to end the show makes me think that won’t be the case for all of them when All In is said and done.)

As soon as the bell sounded, Page turned Matthew inside out with a lariat and flattened him with a big boot before decking Nicholas & Castagnoli, but Moxley got away. The Bucks quickly gained control by double teaming Page, but opted to pose, missing an Ospreay tag, as he flew in for a cross body and double Pele kick. Quick tags by Shibata & Hobbs, working in stereo with a running corner dropkick and powerslam before Ospreay used Hobbs’ back as a launch pad to hit a Sky Twister Press. Match broke down outside, as Ospreay flew onto a pile with a slingshot dive, Nicholas hit his punt kick on the apron, until he was knocked outside, where Page hit his Orihara Moonsault onto everyone into commercial.

During break, a table was set up ringside, as Ospreay was worked over a majority of the time. Castagnoli missed a corner charge and posted his shoulder, but Moxley tagged in and was met with a snap suplex, allowing Page to make the hot tag, as Moxley quickly bailed, tagging Matthew. Page ran wild on everyone else, though, laying out Castagnoli with a slingshot dive and spiking Nicholas face first on the apron. Moonsault off the apron wiped out Castagnoli, pop-up powerbomb on Matthew for two, as Nicholas was launched outside. Blind tag on Castagnoli, as Matthew avoided Dead Eye. Page kicked free from a Giant Swing and we get a Meat face-off with Hobbs & Castagnoli, who slug it out. Hobbs no sold a lariat and mowed down Castagnoli with a body tackle and corner clotheslines, as Moxley tried to jump in and hit a big boot, but Hobbs no sold again and ran through Moxley with a huge lariat.

Shibata tagged in and sank in the Rear Naked Choke on Castagnoli, but he released, tried a PK, but Castagnoli caught it and ate a superkick from Nicholas. The Bucks escaped Dead Eye from Page and hit a double Superkick, backflipped Ospreay, who was trying a double Pele Kick again, hit him with a double superkick as well. Hobbs was up on the apron and no sold a double superkick at first, but not the second, as he fell back into the arms of Castagnoli & Moxley, who slammed him through the table. Shibata was left along with The Bucks, who hit an EVP Trigger, allowing Moxley to tag in as Castagnoli hit a Neutralizer, as Moxley applied the Bulldog Choke to win it.

Post-match, Page ran in the ring and got in a few punches before Wheeler Yuta & Gabe Kidd hit the ring as Shafir handed a chain to Moxley, who wrapped it around the throat of Page. Ospreay tried to make the save, but was beaten down for his efforts as well. The Bucks & Death Riders stood tall, as Shafir handed The Bucks plastic bags while Ospreay & Page were held until Swerve Strickland was shown on the big screen. Strickland was sitting in a dirt digger telling The Young Bucks what they’ve done this year has been out of control, so he’s taking some of it back, leaving the rest for Ospreay & himself at All In. This is how vengeance goes, as Strickland smashes The Bucks’ limousine with a dirt digger repeatedly, causing The Bucks to run out of the ring. Samoa Joe ran in and helped make the save, Ospreay hit a huge dive onto the Death Riders, as Strickland got out of the digger, flipping off the camera asking Whose House? Page, meanwhile, was about ready to lay out Moxley with a Buckshot, but Castagnoli took the bullet at the last second. Page & Moxley had a face-off until Page was tossed the chain, causing Shafir to save Moxley and get him out of the ring, as Death Riders retreat with Page, Ospreay & The Opps standing tall.

The Bucks frantically leave the arena, asking how they’re going to financially recover from this, as the limousine is tipped up on its side. Prince Nana walks in and laughs, as it was distraction for Strickland to leap in with a Swerve Stomp onto The Bucks, as he walked off laughing with Nana back to the arena celebrating with Ospreay as Page stared Moxley down, then back at Ospreay & Strickland, as the show closed.

Match Result: Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & The Young Bucks defeated Hangman Adam Page, Will Ospreay, Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Ian Riccaboni & Taz before throwing it to Tony Schiavone, who is in the ring to introduce the men’s finalist in the Owen Hart Foundation Cup Finals. Excalibur quickly mentions you can watch Double or Nothing on Prime (as this apparently won’t be airing on Triller for folks in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico). Hangman Adam Page is out first & Will Ospreay is soon after, both getting loud ovations.

Will Ospreay & Hangman Adam Page Face-to-Face

Schiavone said both know what’s at stake this Sunday in Texas and tells them the ring is there’s. Ospreay said he understands why security are surrounding ringside, but said he won’t get physical (Page agrees) and Ospreay dismisses them all, saying he’ll make sure they get paid. Ospreay has one question for Page, does he still drink? He has two beers handed to him as a peace offering from last week, where they seemed to be on the brink of fighting. Ospreay hands one to Page and tries to cheers, but Page doesn’t budge. They both put down their drinks, as Ospreay said he’s out here to petition to Tony Khan and the Board of Directors that this Sunday, they will be the main event. A lot of people might think he’s mad for wanting that, having to follow Anarchy in the Arena and a 3-hour night of top-level wrestling, but they all don’t realize what’s at stake. The winner of this match will have the responsibility of bringing back the beautiful gold belt. Ospreay wants this so bad, as the moment he stepped into AEW, he did it the right way, traveling to and from England, as he’s constantly jetlagged, but he shows up and says ring the bell. Ospreay wants to wear that belt with pride, most importantly, to bring it home at Forbidden Door in London. People have supported him since he was a young, immature kid, so he wants to wear the title to thank them for their support. Every Tuesday, Ospreay leaves his 6-year-old at home and he wants nothing more than to walk into that building and for him to see Ospreay as World Heavyweight Champion. Ospreay realizes how much Page wants it, it’s just Ospreay wants it a little bit more.

Page said that’s the difference between them, like it will be Sunday, Ospreay wants it, he realizes there’s no greater prize than to be All Elite Wrestling World Champion. For Ospreay, this could be a professional accomplishment, but for Page, it’s personal, he doesn’t want this opportunity, he needs it. Page screams that he’s wasted two years of his life filled with grief, sorrow and hate, not winning a single tournament or championship, but the one thing he won, brought he nothing but the same. Christmas morning, when his son sat on the floor playing with toys, looking up at his dad staring out the window looking for someone he knew would never come back. When Page goes home, he needs his wife not to see him and take pity, but see the man she fell in love with. Page wants this for the fans who believed in him when he deserved it the least. Finally, Page needs this for himself, a light at the end of the two-year tunnel from hell. He needs this after Ospreay told him it was too little, too late.

Ospreay asks what Page plans on doing about it, wrap a chair around his skull, beat his head in so badly he’ll have to retire like Christopher Daniels? Ospreay has been there, but he refuses to go back, come Sunday, he’s showing up and doing his best. Sometimes his best isn’t good enough, he can admit it, but he lost not by pulling the ref out of the ring or whining in the back that he didn’t get his way. If Ospreay lost, he did so by maintaining the fans respect. Ospreay said he won their trust, as Page screams if that would be enough to defeat Jon Moxley and the Death Riders, as Ospreay yelled back he doesn’t know, but Page does, so show him on Sunday. If Ospreay can beat Page, he knows he can beat Moxley and bring the title back. Page used to be a good-hearted dude, but he’s a cowboy, someone they should look for when times got tough, but his attention has been so turned on Swerve Strickland. An entire year has changed Page, as Ospreay said kids don’t look up to him anymore, while the boys in the back have lost respect for him. A woman in the crowd screamed when Page almost ended Strickland’s career. Ospreay said before Page writes him off, he’s beaten MJF, Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada & Chris Jericho, he’s proved them all wrong and he’s the best in the F’N world.

Ospreay said despite all this, he has Page’s back and hopes Page can say the same. Ospreay picked up the beer and said for Page to meet him in the desert for a shootout on Sunday. Ospreay took a swig of the beer and tossed it aside, as Page chugged his entire drink, as this incredible face-off concludes. This was one of the best back-and-forth’s to lead to a PPV main event, which we’re told Tony Khan has made official for Double or Nothing. Ospreay & Page both walked side by side up the aisle, as the shot of the Owen Hart Cup separated them. A fantastic segment, one you should go out of your way to check out.

-Jon Moxley is pacing outside of the arena with Marina Shafir, as they make their way into the backstage area. Moxley said tensions are rising in AEW, as the spoils will go to those who embrace the anarchy as he makes his way to the ring for the opening contest.

Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana), Samoa Joe & Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Jon Moxley (w/Marina Shafir) & The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson)

(The exact party match you’d expect from these six, as everyone got a chance to shine with this going two breaks. The finish was a fitting sort of revenge for Strickland, getting his win back against Matthew Jackson from a few weeks ago. At this very moment, we still don’t know who is involved in the Anarchy in the Arena match, something we’ll hopefully find out by the end of the evening.)

Bell sounds and Joe & Moxley immediately swing for the fences, as they both stumble into their respective corners, with Hobbs & Swerve and The Bucks holding both men back. Matthew & Hobbs tag in, as the power game of Hobbs initially got the best of Matthew, who avoided a powerslam, tagged Nicholas and The Bucks hit a pop-up dropkick. Strickland tagged in and quickly dodged a superkick into a backbreaker and rolling suplex. Strickland & Joe casually side-step The Bucks double dives outside, as Hobbs had his eyes raked by Moxley on the apron, leading to a Moxley successful dive. With only Joe remaining, he teased a dive, but The Bucks cut him off with a pair of superkicks. Strickland flew back in with a rolling Flatliner on Nicholas, followed by a Fosbury Flop. Joe got the head of steam and hit a Tope Suicida onto Moxley & The Bucks as things went to commercial.

Before commercial, a lower graphic showed, as Excalibur ran down all the ways you can watch Double or Nothing.

• In the US: Prime Video, YouTube, PPV.com. Fubo, Cable & Satellite and select Dave & Busters
• Canada: Prime Video
• UK: Prime Video
• International: YouTube, PPV.com, TrillerPPV

Hobbs was isolated during commercial and Nicholas foolishly started paint brushing him in the head, leading to a World Strongest Slam from Hobbs and tag to Strickland, who cleaned house. Nicholas tried a springboard hurricanrana, but Strickland caught him into a nice powerslam. Nicholas backflipped off the apron to the floor, but Strickland cleared the top rope, only to eat a Matthew superkick. Moxley attacked, as back inside, The Bucks hit an assisted Sliced Bread for two. Strickland got his knees up to avoid a swanton by Nicholas, but Moxley wiped out Hobbs & Joe before Strickland could make the tag. Triple team collision in the corner from The Bucks & Moxley, who connected on a brainbuster, as Matthew leapt to the floor onto Hobbs & Joe. Risky Business connects back inside on Strickland, who kicked out, surprising Moxley. Strickland remained isolated as things went to a second commercial.

During break, Strickland remained isolated, even Shafir got in some cheap shots, until Strickland threw a desperation headbutt to create distance from Moxley. Joe in for the hot tag and rag dolls the hell out of The Bucks, nearly getting a pin on Matthew after a snap powerslam. For some reason, Strickland tagged right back in to go after Matthew, as Hobbs flew off the top with a Frog Splash, as Strickland made the cover for two. Nicholas saves his brother from a brainbuster, Superkick Party to Strickland, double DDT on Hobbs, Joe ate superkicks, but ran through The Bucks with a double clothesline. Moxley in to spike Joe with a Paradigm Shift, as Strickland flew in with a House Call before jumping off the apron with a double Swerve Stomp onto The Bucks outside.

Strickland pulled Matthew back inside, tagging Hobbs, who lowered the straps. Hobbs spun out of Paradigm Shift, planting everyone with huge Spinebusters. Strickland made the tag, but Moxley sent Hobbs crashing into him in the corner. Cutter connects by Moxley, who was sent outside by Joe, who turned into a Superkick Party. The Bucks missed an EVP Trigger on Strickland, as Joe sank the Coquina Clutch in on Nicholas, as Strickland rolled up Matthew to get the flash pin.

Post-match, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta hit the ring and attack before Katsuyori Shibata made the save, beating the hell out of Yuta & Castagnoli. Shafir in to cut Shibata off with a low-blow, as Willow Nightingale sprinted to the ring and hit a huge Pounce. Both ladies brawl around ringside until Kenny Omega’s music plays and he rushes the ring dishing out Snap Dragons to all in his way. A huge V-Trigger hits Matthew, Strickland & Joe set up a table ringside, as Omega brought Matthew to the edge of the apron, wanting One Winged Angel, but Castagnoli pulled Matthew to safety, as The Bucks & Death Riders retreat through the crowd. Joe said a sane man would wait until Sunday, but they’re not waiting until then, they’re coming after their asses again, tonight.

Match Result: Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe & Powerhouse Hobbs defeated Jon Moxley & The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson) when Strickland pinned Matthew

-Alicia Atout is backstage with The Hurt Syndicate and their legal counsel, as MJF struts in with a brand-new suit and Mark Sterling by his side. MVP tells him to let out a Wooo, as MVP said they have to get some food and tells his counsel to take care of MJF, who fist bumps MVP, Lashley & Benjamin before telling Atout to get lost. MJF calls Sterling a brilliant bastard and shakes the legal counsel’s hand before asking Sterling for hand sanitizer.

**********

MJF Signs His Contract to Join The Hurt Syndicate

The Hurt Syndicate make their way to the ring, as their legal counsel, as well as Mark Sterling, are already in the ring. MVP said tonight, MJF signs his contract to become a member of the crew, as the fans boo, so MVP said it’s just because they know MJF is better than them and they know it. Ian Riccaboni questions what is in all this for The Hurt Syndicate, while MJF gets everything from this deal. MJF strutted out, ripped up a fans sign and said his mother once told him the most important day of his life would be getting married to the love of your life. MJF said clearly that dumb b*tch never joined The Hurt Syndicate. The fans boo MJF, as MVP told them no one wants to be there, as he gets paid to be there while the fans paid to be there, so shut your mouths. MJF & MVP kept running down Albuquerque for not having sports teams as MJF told Sterling to explain all the fine print. Sterling said MJF will sign first and then The Hurt Syndicate. MJF signs, followed by MVP & Shelton Benjamin, as Lashley takes the pen and debates whether to sign. MVP continuously screams at the crowd to shut up, as Lashley signs, the counsel places the contract in the briefcase and shakes hand with Sterling, when MJF puts a Hurt Syndicate hat on and says this is the greatest day of his life, only to be cut off by The Sons of Texas.

Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara walks out as MJF demands their music cut and calls them white trash Southern honkys. Rhodes tells MJF to shut his mouth, he doesn’t have work ethic or grit and he hates his guts. Rhodes said he has the utmost respect for MVP, but thinks in his best interest to watch for that snake in the grass. Rhodes & Guevara are Day One guys, as 6 years ago, they did something special, they changed the landscape. Fast forward to this Sunday, they want more gold, they’re the undefeated ROH Tag Team Champions and tells Benjamin & Lashley to look at him in the eyes and says if they like hurting people, jump on him and try hurting him. MVP said be careful what they wish for, as Rhodes said he & Guevara have looked the Devil in the eye and lived to tell the tale. Don’t expect this to be a walk in the park because it won’t be, they fight with soul, passion and heart, you can’t touch their work ethic. If Rhodes was a betting man, he’d bet on the Sons of Texas.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Kazuchika Okada, asking if he has a response to Speedball Mike Bailey and his challenge for the Continental Championship. Okada said Bailey doesn’t call him out, he’ll call him out and issues the challenge for Double or Nothing. Paquette brings up Bailey never being actually pinned since debuting in AEW and Okada said there’s a first time for everything, trust me. Okada left, faked like he was going to say B*tch, but again said trust me.

**********

Ricochet vs. Anthony Bowens (w/Billy Gunn)

(Prior to the match, Excalibur mentioned Bowens being on quite the hot streak on Collision since his return. Bowens is 2-0, having beaten Lee Johnson & Blake Christian, so I guess that’s a streak. This was a solid TV match, one that you knew Ricochet was going to have to win somehow with his PPV match coming up Sunday, I’m just surprised Bowens was the one to get pinned, even if it was via shenanigans.)

We’re told this match came about after a run-in backstage earlier in the day about who is the true scissor king, which is a pretty unique way to set-up a match I must say. Ricochet tried to mock Gunn with a crotch chop, but Bowens cut him off with a float over DDT. Clothesline sent Ricochet to the floor, where Gunn laughed at him for being bald. Ricochet cowered, as Bowens slapped him in the head, drove Ricochet into the barricade before scissoring with Gunn. Bowens tried a suplex back inside, but Ricochet reversed and brought Bowens to the apron. While holding onto referee Paul Turner’s shirt, Ricochet managed to post Bowens, sweep out the legs and slam Bowens onto the apron into commercial.

Bowens battled back when things returned with an up and over Fame Asser followed by a spinning reverse Torture Rack slam for two. Ricochet answered with a wall walk, but missed a strike, allowing Bowens to hit a combo ending with a superkick. Ricochet floated over, hit a pump knee, loaded up The Spriit Gun, but Bowens dodged into The Arrival. Bowens cracked Ricochet with a Mollywhop, but Ricochet rolled outside. Gunn went to go grab Ricochet when Paul Turner cut him off. The distraction allowed Ricochet to grab his gold scissors under a turnbuckle pad, stabbed Bowens in the forehead and hit The Spirit Gun to steal the pin.

Post-match, Ricochet ran down the crowd on the aisle, telling them they all suck, not realizing Mark Briscoe was standing behind him with a stretcher. Briscoe fired off punches and loaded Ricochet on the stretcher, going up top, wanted a Froggy Bow, but Ricochet bailed, crawling to the back.

Match Result: Ricochet defeated Anthony Bowens via Spirit Gun

-We’re told Anarchy in the Arena is official and will be Kenny Omega, Swerve Strickland, Willow Nightingale, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata vs. Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir & The Young Bucks.

Also we learn Mercedes Mone will be facing CMLL’s Reyna Isis in a TBS Title Open Challenge on Collision tomorrow night. Excalibur said this could be a trap match for Mone.

**********

-Stokely Hathaway is backstage with FTR saying they could sign their contract for Double or Nothing right now or they could do something special, as they want to look Daniel Garcia & Nigel McGuinness in the eye before signing. Hathaway said they could even bringing along that b*tch ass Daddy Magic to see McGuinness sign the contract for the last match of his career on Collision.

Mercedes Mone & Jamie Hayter Face-to-Face

Three chairs are set-up with Renee Paquette in the ring and said it’s time to hear from the ladies in the Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament, saying both want to beat the crap out of one another, so she hopes to keep things calm. Jamie Hayter is out first to a good reaction, as Mercedes Mone is out to brief CEO chants. Paquette said Hayter has done something Mone has not been able to do in her time in AEW, that’s holding the AEW Women’s Title. Paquette brings up Hayter’s injury history and asks if she views herself as the underdog on Sunday? Hayter said if she’s the underdog, so be it, she’ll keep crawling back time after time again, not having others do her dirty work and act like she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Hayter said she’s a fighter, everyone watching has made her into just that. This means more to Hayter than it does Mone, they all know it, as this is more than a title shot, it’s about not being forgotten. When the bell rings, the confetti falls, the cup lifted, if it’s not Hayter doing it, she’ll question what’s the point going forward?

Paquette asks Mone if she’s worried Hayter will be the first woman to defeat her in singles action in AEW? Mone calls herself a revolution, the Beyonce of women’s wrestling, looking straight through Hayter like the glass doll that she is. Mone always gets what she wants and what she wants is going to All In Texas to become the AEW Women’s Champion. 25-0 in singles competition, 360 days as the greatest TBS Champion of all time, getting this not by luck, but dedication and hard work. Mone said this is about her legacy, as Double or Nothing won’t be when Hayter’s story begins, but her chapter ends.

Hayter mentions Mone looking a little lighter tonight, bringing up her losing the New Japan Strong Women’s Title. Hayter watched Mone losing, which is her destiny, losing everything. Mone exploded out of her chair and absolutely waffled Hayter, who blocked a left hand and folded Mone up with a Hayter-ade.

Timeless Toni Storm’s music hits and she prances down the aisle with Luther, as she’ll be on the call for the main event coming up next. Storm high fived fans, never really making eye contact with Hayter, as things went to commercial.

**********

Back from break, Storm has riled up the entire crowd before the entrances for the main event.

Mina Shirakawa vs. Julia Hart

(While the match itself was a nice back and forth, with Hart getting a good amount of offense, the post-match brawl was a nice way to make Shirakawa look strong heading into the PPV match. Storm had her usual zingers on commentary, but like times in the past, it wasn’t so much that it didn’t overshadow the action in the ring. Her calling Ian Riccaboni a handsome young man after realizing he wasn’t Tony Schiavone was hilarious.)

Storm said despite last week’s loss to Shirakawa, she still has the biggest package, saying she’ll smack the mask off Excalibur if he brings it up again. The match opens with a series of reversals until Hart works over the left arm, doing the Undertaker rope walk and clubbing blow. Hart went for a sliding strike, but Shirakawa dodged and did her dance. Shirakawa scaled to the top rope, did a hip shake and came crashing down onto Hart with a knee. Snap dropkick to the knee, as she tripped up Hart before turning her attention Storm outside. Hart was there to crack Shirakawa with a right hand and control the action back in the ring during commercial.

Shirakawa mounted her comeback when things returned, firing a rolling elbow and flying clothesline. Hart stumbled to the corner, tried a boot, but Shirakawa blocked into a Dragon Screw. Storm said that wouldn’t work with her, as you’d need a crowbar to get between her thighs. Hart fought back with a Tarantula in the ropes, but as she broke the submission, Shirakawa fired off a spinning back fist. Shirakawa looked for a crucifix bomb out of the corner, didn’t get much of it and almost looked like a Blockbuster for two. Hart heel tripped her way to avoid a Glamourous Driver, as Hart wanted her Moonsault, Shirakawa moved and Hart came up limping. Shirakawa chop blocked the leg, tried a Figure Four, but Hart got an inside cradle for two. Shirakawa up first, hit another rolling elbow, wanted Glamourous Driver Mina, but again Hart got a cradle for two. Shirakawa managed a seatbelt cradle and got the flash pin.

Post-match, Shirakawa signaled to Storm for her title, when Hart attacked from behind. Shirakawa fought back and applied the Figure Four until Skye Blue hit the ring to save Hart. Blue beat down Shirakawa until Storm left commentary and dropped Blue with a snap German. Hart ate backfists from Storm & Shirakawa, who grabbed the women’s title and held it up before both had a tug of war over it. Storm tried a boot, but Shirakawa hit a Dragon Screw. Shirakawa followed with a Figure Four around the ring post, as Storm screamed in pain before being pulled off by referees. Shirakawa made her way to the back high fiving fans, as Luther carried Storm.

Match Result: Mina Shirakawa defeated Julia Hart

-Renee Paquette tries to reach The Young Bucks backstage for comment, but they bail for a flight to catch, as Matthew said Samoa Joe was a pathological liar who said they’d attack them before the night is over, but, they’re out of here. Right on cue, The Opps show up with trash cans to take out The Bucks, as it’s everyone involved in Anarchy in the Arena appearing one after another with weapons as everyone brawls on the stage out into the ringside area. Omega was choking out Nicholas Jackson with a chain, as Shibata teed off on Yuta, who had a trash can trapped over his head. The Bucks regained control over Omega and hit an EVP Trigger, while on the outside, Hobbs no sold a Castagnoli chair shot. Omega avoided a Meltzer Driver back inside, leaving Omega & Strickland in the ring with The Bucks, hitting dueling House Calls & V-Triggers. Mox & Shafir are choking out Joe & Strickland respectively, but the tables get turned, Joe was choking out Moxley until the mercenary Gabe Kidd hit Joe from behind with the briefcase. Kidd attacked Omega & Strickland in the ring, as The Bucks & Yuta set them up on tables ringside and hit stereo elbow/splashes. Yuta chokes out Prince Nana with a kendo stick, as Death Riders & The Young Bucks stand tall end the show.
