Our live coverage, courtesy of Ryan Howard, begins at 8 p.m. Eastern.

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Tony Schiavone & Nigel McGuinness, running down tonight’s card. Pre-recorded comments from Babes of Wrath saying they’ll bill MegaBad for the wrath that’s coming for their ass. MegaBad said Grand Slam Australia was a warning, but tonight, they’ll bow down and stay down. We then see footage of Collision last week and FTR’s heinous actions against The Jackson Family. FTR said it’s The Young Bucks who put their hands on Stokely first. The Bucks said piledriving Malachai Jackson made this personal. FTR said whatever happens tonight, is The Bucks’ fault during Mile High Madness.

Jon Moxley vs. El Clon in an AEW Continental Title Eliminator

(Another week, another Callis Family member checked off the list and another excellent back and forth battle. We don’t get to see Clon all that often in singles action, but he makes sure to make those efforts pretty darn great. Moxley knows the road leads to Takeshita in what should undoubtedly be a potential show stealer come Revolution.)

Renee Paquette is ringside saying this is another massive moment for someone to make their name against a standard bearer in AEW. She called Moxley one of the constants in pro wrestling and can adapt to any style, asking Marina Shafir about the origin of the pre-match slap. Shafir said there is no pain in it, only joy. Commentary talked about Clon’s perfect record against Death Riders, but that’s only two 6-man tags, as this is his first singles match against anyone in that crew.

Series of standing switches and headlocks kick things off, as it was a much slower pace than you’d expect out the gate, especially from Clon. Moxley no sells shoulder blocks, so Clon hit a spin kick to the ribs and roll through into a cazadora arm drag into a dropkick. Clon played to the crowd too long and suffered getting his nogging smashed into the commentary table, as Moxley teed off with punches against the LED board. Back inside, flip-out suplex gets a near fall for Moxley, who works a Rings of Saturn until Clon got the ropes. Moxley lit up Clon with corner chops, much to the delight of the crowd, until Clon dodged and tried some of his own, choking Moxley with the tag rope. Referee Paul Turner took his sweet time on the 5-count, as Clon hit a heel kick to the face and snap suplex. Missing a Lionsault, Moxley rolled outside, tried to create space, but was met with a Clon low Tope and Moonsault off the LED board heading to break.

It was all Clon during break, until Moxley blasted Clon trying another low Tope, delivering a Curb Stomp on the apron, as we’re told 10-minutes have passed. Clon beat the count, but was clotheslined right back out, giving Moxley a chance to hit his own Tope Suicida. Clon fought back with a spin kick that appeared to catch Moxley low, as he tried a head of steam, only got decked with a King Kong Lariat. Stalling Piledriver connects, but Clon got a shoulder up. Boot up in the corner by Clon, who tried a pose out of a float over, but got caught in a Rear Naked Choke. Clon escaped into a Bicycle Kick, followed by an insane one-legged springboard Moonsault from the top to the floor. Clon wanted a springboard back inside, but Moxley got just enough of a Cutter for the double down.

Both men popped up at the same time and duked it out, until Moxley tried a Curb Stomp, but Clon used the momentum to vault out and hit a combo. 5-minutes remaining, as Clon went up top and hit the double stomp for the closest near fall of the match. Clon wanted the Portal Bomb, but Moxley managed to spin into a Paradigm Shift. Quickly to his feet, Moxley drove it home with a Death Rider for the win.

Match Result: Jon Moxley defeated El Clon

Swerve Strickland Explains His Actions

Footage of Swerve Strickland post-match attack last week in his match with Kenny Omega was shown. For those who didn’t catch Collision, we’re told Strickland was fined $100,000 for his actions.

Prince Nana walks out to commentary and asks if they think Strickland cares about getting a week off, ordering them to clear from the table, calling them all stupid fools. Nana introduces Strickland, who stands tall on the commentary table. Strickland asked if the sickos missed him, as he said he figured they’d enjoy what he did to Omega last week, while some don’t, as that’s what happens when something happens to your favorites. Strickland brings up the reinforced table this week, as he’s met with Kenny chants. Strickland feels no guilt, he warned Omega, who got in his path to the AEW Championship and had the nerve to call someone else (Brody King) the most dangerous man in AEW. By defeating Omega, Strickland is back in line for a title shot, he’s a man of his word, he put Omega down. Omega not only challenged him as a man, but as a threat. He’s another EVP he took down and not want in their problems anymore. Strickland made a killing taking down The Elite and goes back to All In Texas, when he talked to Hangman Adam Page about the word regret. Page asked if he regrets what he did to get to the World Title, Strickland said he did, but realized that was the most successful point of his career. From this point forward, no more regrets, so a warning to the AEW roster, everyone is on notice, anyone can get clipped if Strickland chooses so. He’ll remind them who the most dangerous man in AEW still is.

-Brody King is backstage with Bandido and said he has a problem with Strickland claiming he deserves to be the next AEW Champion. Tonight, King gets Mark Davis and he’s going to prove why he’s next in line for an AEW World Title shot.

**********

Orange Cassidy vs. Gabe Kidd

(I said it last week, but Darby Allin continues to be the thorn in the side of the War Dogs and despite Kidd getting the much-needed win tonight, it was Allin who stood tall yet again. I think it’s safe to say it’s only a matter of time until this match is official for Revolution, whether it’s a tag match including Cassidy & Connors remains to be seen.)

Hilarious hand drawn Missing signs of Roderick Strong offering a $15 gift card reward as to his whereabouts were shown, as we haven’t seen Strong since he walked out on him a few weeks ago (unless you’ve watched the latest Close Up with Renee Paquette on YouTube). Kidd charged at the opening bell, tried a beal, but Cassidy got a backslide and cradle for a few near falls. Cassidy floated over in the corner and took Kidd from corner to corner, but Kidd put on the brakes and smashed his own head into the turnbuckle, showing no effect. Cassidy missed a spinning DDT and ate a right hand to the jaw for two, as Kidd was in control heading to break, as he told the camera that there’s no end for Darby Allin until he’s left pushing up daisies.

Kidd controlled most of the action during break, as Cassidy again tried his spinning DDT, but was just tossed to the outside, landing hard. Cassidy played cat and mouse outside, before hitting a Stundog Millionaire back inside, following up with an Elbow Suicida and top rope diving DDT for two. Kidd fought off Beach Break into a sunset flip, allowing Cassidy to roll through into a PK and finally hitting his spinning DDT, kipping up and signaling for the finish. Orange Punch attempted, but Kidd popped Cassidy in mid-air with a forearm and high stack powerbomb before planting Cassidy with a Backdrop Driver. Kidd tried the bounce back lariat once, Cassidy hit a right hand, causing Kidd to bounce back again, successfully hitting the lariat for the reset.

Both slug it out on their knees (and by both, I mean Cassidy threw light shots that ramped up the crowd), until Kidd spat in his face, resulting in a quick Beach Break by Cassidy for two. Cassidy lept for Orange Punch, but Kidd pulled referee Bryce in the way. Cassidy pulled back before contact, allowing Kidd to get a thumb to the eyes and big piledriver for the win.

Post-match, Kidd called out Clark Connors, who rushed to the ring and the attack on Cassidy was on. That was, until Darby Allin ran out with his skateboard, cracking Kidd in the throat with it. Allin rolled the skateboard to Connors, who went to pick it up, but got suckered into a Code Red. Kidd tried an attack, but suffered an ollie off the second to the back, causing the War Dogs to retreat.

Match Result: Gabe Kidd defeated Orange Cassidy

-Commentary talked about Thekla winning the AEW Women’s Title a few weeks ago and injuries Kris Statlander suffered, as she was just cleared today. We’re told Thunder Rosa will face Thekla next week for the Women’s Title after winning her match against Julia Hart on Collision last week.

Renee Paquette is backstage with Statlander & Rosa, who interrupts and said she doesn’t have time with Thekla’s games, as the title she’s holding was built by women like Rosa. Statlander again tells her to be careful, as Rosa questions if she thinks she can do this? Rosa issues a challenge to a tag match on Collision with her & Statlander vs. Sisters of Sin. Rosa said she doesn’t need to be careful, as she walks off, Paquette asks why Statlander is so adamant about Rosa being so careful? Statlander just shook her head and walked away.

Kevin Knight vs. Mansoor

Footage of Knight’s recent wins in singles and trios action is shown prior to this match. Mansoor gets in his poses early on and tries to touch tips with Knight (you read that right), as Knight hit an atomic drop and dropkick that left Mansoor scrambling to the ramp, as he tripped getting back into the ring. Mansoor raked the eyes and hit a neckbreaker before planting Knight with a Manhattan Drop/Spinebuster combo. Mansoor missed a huge Moonsault, allowing Knight to hit a kick and springing hurricanrana from the corner. Pendulum DDT spiked Mansoor, as Knight went up and hit the UFO Splash for the quick win.

Post-match, Knight took the mic and said that felt good for Mr. Too Fly in the Mile High City. Knight said Hangman Page is going to wipe the floor with MJF’s ass no matter the stipulation for Revolution and says when Page wins the title, he hopes to be the first challenger for that title. Knight said he knows that might be pre-mature, but not only is he the future, but the here and now. This was a good quick showcase and promo from Knight.

Match Result: Kevin Knight defeated Mansoor

MJF & Hangman Page Set Stipulations to AEW World Title Match at Revolution

Tony Schiavone is in the ring for the introductions and brings up if Page loses at Revolution, regardless of the stipulation, he’ll no longer be able to challenge for the AEW Men’s World Title. MJF immediately told the crowd to shut their mouths when a champion is talking and said last week, Page was bold in saying he’s never challenge for the World Title again. While Page is brave and bold, he’s not a historian, as MJF said this will be the second time he’s ended someone’s AEW career. Before talking about his stipulation, he wants to throw his gum into the garbage (throwing it into the crowd). MJF said he has a quarter, if it’s tails, Page gets his Texas Death Match, heads, MJF gets The One Way No Disqualification Match. Meaning, MJF can do whatever the hell he wants, where if Page so much as looks a weapon, he’ll be DQ’d. MJF is curious if Page is the hypocrite MJF thinks he is, are you a cowboy or a coward?

Page ponders briefly before agreeing, which delighted MJF. Before MJF flips the coin, Page said he wants MJF to know that Texas Death would change him. Who would MJF be if Page drug him through glass, tearing the flesh of his body, or a strand of barbed wire, cramming it between his lips, tearing his mouth and tongue apart. Who would MJF be if his usual tricks mean nothing? For years, MJF called himself The Devil, but this hell is Page’s and if it’s Texas Death, MJF doesn’t stand a chance. Page could agree to MJF’s dogsh*t match, but if he challenges for the World Title for what could be the last time, he wants it to be definitive. If Page can’t beat a piece of sh*t like MJF, he doesn’t deserve to challenge for the title. Page know Max, but he feels like a lucky shot tonight, so flip the coin. MJF said he’s feeling lucky, too and flips the coin. It’s heads and MJF orders Schiavone to make it official, it’s The One Way No Disqualification Match.

MJF walks off smug and Page demands the quarter, which MJF said he doesn’t owe him a damn thing. JetSpeed, Brody King & Bandido walk out and Page said he’s not a dumbass, as King grabs the coin from MJF and gives it to Page. MJF yells that they could use a different coin, as Page proves that it’s rigged. Schiavone said he’s getting word from Tony Khan that the match at Revolution will officially be a Texas Death Match. MJF buckles to a knee, as Page has a smirk as he walked up the ramp, staring MJF down, as Max is met with You F’d Up chants.

-Excalibur brings up prior to our upcoming Women’s Tag Title match about the new tag team that debuted last week, The Brawling Birds. We go backstage to Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor, who said they beat the piss out of those two and said it’s no skin off their noses. They aren’t here to shake hands and have a jolly old time, they’re here to beat the piss out of people. They’re The Birds, they don’t give a flying f*ck. They walk off to enjoy a pint.

Babes of Wrath (TBS Champion Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron) vs. MegaBad (Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford w/Lena Kross) for the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles

(This absolutely felt like an audible, as I really hope Penelope Ford is ok, but we never saw what officially injured her. This ending came out of nowhere and felt super flat, as I wonder if we were supposed to get new champions tonight? The match was going good, until the ending just, happened.)

Bayne & Nightingale slug it out early, trading shoulder block attempts, until Nightingale got the upper hand. Both float over bodyslam attempts, until Ford made a blind tag and we get a big boot/schoolgirl combo for two. Nightingale uses her power to send Ford to the corner for clotheslines, until Cameron makes a blind tag leading to a low cross body/running knee combo before a piggy back senton squished Bayne. MegaBad was sent to the outside, where the brawl continued with the crowd loudly chanting for the Tag Champions. Bayne clocked Cameron off the apron and took out the Babes of Wrath with an Elbow Suicida, while Ford followed suit with a Moonsault off the top, as MegaBad was in firm control heading to break.

Cameron was worked over almost the entire commercial, until she hit a desperation DDT, as Nightingale made a hot tag, planting Bayne with a huge spinebuster. Bayne fought off a DVD, tried Fate’s Decent, but Nightingale countered into a release German to the outside, following up with a cannonball off the apron. Back inside, Nightingale tried the Doctor Bomb, but Bayne backed her into the corner, when Lena Kross came in and decked Nightingale with a Tag Title for the DQ. McGuinness tells us Ford is hurt and down ringside, we missed what happened to her (I believe the moonsault she hit might’ve been it), as it’s Kross & Bayne that stood tall. We never saw Ford again during the match.

Match Result: Babes of Wrath defeated MegaBad via disqualification to retain the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles

**********

Brody King vs. Mark Davis (w/Don Callis)

(If you like seeing two massive dudes beating the hell out of each other, this was right up your alley. To the surprise of no one, these two were throwing bombs out the gate and this was a great return match for King to get back on the winning track after Grand Slam. The post-match was interesting, as Davis was rushed rather quickly to the back and I really hope he’s ok and we didn’t get back-to-back matches with injuries. While Bandido seems to have his challenge for Revolution answered by Andrade, at this moment, we’re still waiting to hear if Swerve Strickland answered King’s.)

Callis joined commentary and agreed that Davis is his grizzly bear. Like two bulls, both collide with shoulder tackles before trading loud chops. Davis staggered first, opting to go to the eyes repeatedly before slamming King down, only to miss a senton, but King connected with his attempt. King charged to the corner and Davis just sat on him before waffling King with a sliding forearm. We get a dueling F*ck Don Callis/F*ck ICE Too! chant from the Denver crowd, as Davis was planted with a Death Valley Driver. Davis went outside, but it was a ploy, as King charged for a dive, but was clobbered before takeoff, putting Davis in control during commercial.

We return to a slugfest ensuing, as both switched to clothesline attempts until King turned it into a Black Hole Slam and follow-up Tope Suicida. Davis fought back, sending King into the barricade, but missed a charge, allowing King to hit a cross body against the LED board. Back inside, King connected on his corner cannonball, wanted a DVD, but Davis slipped out into a Sleeper. Callis ordered Davis slump over on top to make King carry the weight, but King escaped and stomped the injured hand of Davis. Short arm lariats traded until Davis ducked into a release German. Davis missed a home run shot, as King hit a Backdrop Driver, but Davis popped up and trucked King with a lariat into the reset. Davis missed his sprinting lariat, as King answered with multiple lariats of his own, with the last one, swinging for the fences and getting the win.

Post-match, Bandido came to the ring to celebrate with King, as the doctor seemingly took Davis to the back rather quickly, as he was on his way backstage before Callis could even get to him, so I really hope he’s not injured. King took the mic and told Swerve Strickland to look in his eye, he’s the most dangerous man in AEW and said at Revolution, his backyard, he’s looking for a fight. Strickland & Nana were watching backstage and walked off, as Bandido took the mic and said he wants a fight, too. Andrade El Idolo’s music hit and out he came with Callis by his side, as it looks like Bandido’s challenge has been answered with Andrade staring him down.

Match Result: Brody King defeated Mark Davis

-Renee Paquette is backstage with TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher and said there’s not a lot of time for celebrating and brings up Tomasso Ciampa saying that title is his. Fletcher said to be careful what you wish for, as you stepped foot in the ring against the best and came up short. This Silvy isn’t coming back to Ciampa anytime soon, as Pinky is staying with the greatest TNT Champion of all time. Kazuchika Okada walks in and said they’ve both been consistent champions, unlike Takeshita. Okada says he considers Fletcher his best friend and said on Collision, they should team up for the first time ever as ProtOkada. Fletcher smirks and accepts, as they shake hands.

Jungle Jack Perry, The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) & The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) vs. AEW Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler w/Stokely) & The Demand (AEW National Champion Ricochet, Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun) in an Anything Goes Mile High Madness

(This was the TV version of Anarchy in the Arena and delivered the action in droves. I kept up as much as I possibly could, but my goodness was there a lot of moving parts, much to the delight of the crowd. The finish was a needed win to give Perry some credibility to get another National Title shot, especially after his last two attempts were filled with interference. Everyone got a chance to shine in this and the crowd played a huge part as well; they were there every second of it. This ranks right up there with most chaotic main events in Dynamite history.)

Perry made his entrance, but was attacked by the entire heel team, with Ricochet going up top to put Perry out for good when he was saved by The Young Bucks. Tarzan Boy continued to play, with 3-camera shot and chaos galore. I’ll try my best to keep up, as The Rascalz sprinted out with Wentz clearing the top with a Tornillo onto Ricochet. The Bucks & FTR brawl into the crowd, where Harwood took a drink of beer, but ate a thrust kick as a result. Stokely was up in the stands and unmasked himself, as Wheeler used him as a battering ramp to send Nick down the steps. Matt continues cracking Harwood with a chair to the back, as The Demand keep brawling with The Rascalz & Perry as the crowd sings along to Perry’s theme, which stopped briefly, but started up again. Perry hit a baseball slide cazadora hurricanrana on Liona and leaping DDT to Ricochet, but was launched by a charging Kaun dropkick and cleared the barricade over the time keepers table by a Liona Pounce.

Kaun ate a superkick from Nick, but Liona side stepped a moonsault off the barricade and was press slammed back over it. Tarzan Boy stops, as The Rascalz & GOA slug it out with chair shots before we go back to The Bucks & FTR in the crowd. We finally get to the ring, where The Demand have numbers on The Rascalz, as a double hip toss slam to Xavier put The Demand controlling the ring into commercial.

Back from break, Liona pressed Xavier one handed over his head by the stage, but Myron Reed made the save, spraying Liona with a fire extinguisher and hit a running start leaping Cutter on Kaun. Enzugiri cracked Harwood, as Wheeler took a shot too, but as he tried a huge dive onto FTR, he was caught and planted face first onto the commentary table. Perry flew in with a dive of his own, wiping out FTR, as he grabbed a vacuum cleaner under the ring and cracked Harwood with it before whacking Liona in the head with it, causing smoke to fly. Ricochet & Kaun made the save, as they went for a Doomsday Device on Perry, but Matt chucked a trash can into Ricochet’s face mid-flight. The Bucks hit their assisted Sliced Bread on Kaun before waffling him with a trash can, as well.

The Bucks set up Ricochet for the Flippity Dippity Drop onto the trash can, as Matt placed it onto Ricochet, as Nick hit a Senton Atomico for a two count. FTR interrupts and try taking a powder, but The Rascalz were there to send them back in and eat a Superkick Party. Liona returned and hit The Bucks with a double suplex from the apron back inside before trying a Samoan Drop Strongest Slam on The Bucks, but The Rascalz made the save with Perry and Liona ate a 5-way Superkick. The Bucks take out a pile outside, leaving Xavier on top to hit a wild Shooting Star Press onto them all as well. Perry wanted a piledriver on Liona, but he was backdropped over the top, crashing through a table that must’ve gotten set-up during commercial. Wentz flew in with a dropkick on Liona, before lighting up Harwood with a kick combo, as Wheeler took a release German. Kaun charged and ate a combo of strkes, until Liona returned and headbutt him in mid-air off a handspring attempt. Xavier leapt off the top, but was swatted like a fly, as The Demand hit a corner triple attack before Harwood & Kaun hit a double superplex, Wheeler hit a top rope splash, Kaun with a top rope headbutt and Ricochet caps it off with a springboard 450 Splash, but all the babyfaces broke the count with the crowd going nuts.

Wentz & Ricochet tumble outside, as FTR tries a Spike Piledriver on Matt, but he swept out the legs into a slingshot, crotching Wheeler in the process. Nick quickly up and hit a top rope hurricanrana on Wheeler, as Harwood spiked Nick with a DDT, while Matt followed with one of his own. Ringside, The Rascalz hit a double Spanish Fly off the LED board on Ricochet through a table to a rightful Holy Sh*t chant. Back inside, The Rascalz hit a combo of strikes on Kaun, but Liona made the save until The Bucks sent him to the apron and Perry few in with sunset flip/assisted double superkick, crashing Liona through the table. Harwood tried to steal it with a school boy for two, as Matt dodged Shatter Machine, sent Harwood outside, as The Bucks launched Wheeler through the ropes onto his partner through the last remaining table. In the ring, Hot Fire Flame hit on Kaun, Perry flew in with a Destroyer, as The Bucks hit a BTE Trigger and assisted Sacrifice Knee from Perry to get the win and pin on Ricochet.

Match Result: Jungle Jack Perry, The Young Bucks & The Rascalz vs. FTR & The Demand when Perry pinned Ricochet

AEW Dynamite 3/4/26

• Thekla defends the AEW Women’s Title against Thunder Rosa

AEW Dynamite is live tonight from Sacramento, California.

Coming off two shows this weekend in Australia, the company has booked a main event featuring two top stars for this week’s episode, as Kenny Omega faces Swerve Strickland. Both wrestlers are coming off losses to Andrade El Idolo in the recent tournament to determine a new number one contender for MJF’s AEW World Championship.

Also scheduled, MJF and Hangman Page will appear in a face-to-face segment after their AEW Revolution match was made official over the weekend.

The in-ring television debut of the Brawling Birds, Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor, is also set for the show.

The TBS Championship will be on the line, with Willow Nightingale defending against Marina Shafir, Megan Bayne, and Mina Shirakawa in a four-way match.

Dynamite takes place at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento. According to WrestleTix, 2,672 tickets had been distributed as of Monday.

Our live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern.

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Bryan Danielson & Tony Schiavone as they throw it to comments from tonight’s competitors.

Mina Shirakawa is up first talking about how it’s Mina Time to grow, as everyone wants her, but she wants the TBS Title. Willow Nightingale talks about not having to be pinned to lose her title tonight, but realizes that comes with the territory. She can kick ass in Australia with Harley and fly to Sacramento to defend her title. Megan Bayne said gold belongs to the All Elite Goddess. We then cut to Swerve Strickland who said he needs this, as Kenny Omega said Strickland got in the way of what he wanted the most, so until he’s no longer in his way, he’ll wish him goodbye and good night.

Renee Paquette caught up with Orange Cassidy earlier today and asked about Roderick Strong walking out on him last week and he said thankfully with The Conglomeration, there are a lot of them. Tomohiro Ishii walks in and he’ll be teaming with Cassidy tonight against Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors.

AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley vs. Mark Davis in a Continental Title Eliminator

(Fending off another Callis Family member threat, commentary drove home how Moxley hasn’t slayed the one demon he’s wanted to the most so far, in Konosuke Takeshita. Another strong showing from Davis, who continues his run of competitive matches against top tier talent. All roads for Moxley have to lead to Takeshita, so it’s good that he’s still doing Eliminator matches, even though Takeshita will most likely be getting the shot at Revolution.)

During Moxley’s entrance, Renee Paquette is ringside talking about Moxley being unable to close that loop against Konosuke Takeshita, going to a time limit draw with him in Australia. Meanwhile, Davis wants to use this opportunity with Jake Doyle on the shelf, to prove to the Callis Family that he can be their X-Factor. Bryan Danielson was severely disappointed that we didn’t see bald headed Wheeler Yuta during Moxley’s entrance, as he was rocking a hoodie. Despite his history with the Death Riders, Danielson respected that Moxley forced Yuta to get in the ring and have his head shaved after losing the match at Grand Slam.

Davis used his size early, trucking Moxley with a running body block and dishing out corner strikes. Moxley fired back, tried a sunset flip, but Davis squished him like a pancake dropping all his weight on Moxley’s sternum. Sliding forearm strike in the corner, as Moxley wobbles to the outside, where Davis was relentless with his attack. Moxley ducked a punch and Davis clocked the ring post so hard it started to bleed, allowing Moxley to hit a Tope Suicida to get the fans loudly behind him. Moxley wrenched at the fingers and stomped on them on the steps into commercial.

Back from break, Davis has gained control and ran through Moxley against the LED board. Quickly back to the ring, Davis went up top, but Moxley cut him off and bit at the bloody finger before delivering a superplex for the double down. Moxley again went back to the sunset flip, but avoided Davis sitting out and clocked him with a PK, but Davis kicked out at 1. Slugfest ensues at the 10-minute mark, as Davis hits an enzugiri, but Moxley ducked a lariat into a flash cutter. Davis spun out of a sleeper into a backdrop suplex, as both rose from separate corners, charged and Moxley hit a series of lariats, until Davis kicked away at one and hit a home run shot. Davis wanted a piledriver, Moxley slid out, dodged a charge into a school boy for two. Davis, from a gut wrench position hit an insane piledriver, but Moxley just got a shoulder up. Davis slapped on a sleeper, Moxley escaped, but Davis popped him with another lariat. Whiffing on another enzugiri, Moxley followed with a Curb Stomp into the double down. Both collide with clothesline attempts, neither budging initially, but the third, Moxley crumbled. Moxley floated over a piledriver and sank in a Bulldog Choke, where Davis frantically tapped.

Match Result: Jon Moxley submitted Mark Davis

-After Grand Slam last weekend, Hangman Adam Page said he now knows why Andrade is called El Idolo. The next time MJF tries to kick him in the balls, Page will make sure he doesn’t have a happy future. At Revolution, Page is coming for the World Championship and he’ll end MJF to take it. Look into his eyes and know he’s telling the truth, Max.

-FTR & Stokely make their way to the ring, as we’ll hear from the AEW Tag Team Champions up next.

**********

FTR & Stokely Address The Young Bucks

Dax Harwood barely was able to start talking before Shut The F*ck Up chants rang out. He brought up how The Young Bucks called themselves the best team in the world 10 years ago, but cut to today and they’re sitting comfortably in second place. Stokely said truth be told, it pisses him off that last week on Dynamite, The Young Bucks shook hands with The Rascalz & Private Party, which is interesting, as The Bucks tried to run Private Party out of the company a year ago, but now they are good? That fakeness is what Stokely hates about professional wrestling. Who is at the top of FTR’s hate list is Matt & Nick Jackson, under them are their parents, followed by their delinquent kids running around backstage. The Bucks appear behind them and take out Harwood & Wheeler with superkicks, leaving Stokely alone, spinning around in his wheelchair, backtracking like crazy. The crowd chants for another superkick and they got their wish, as Stokely gets clocked out of his wheelchair with a Superkick Party. The Bucks hold up the Tag Titles and officially challenge FTR for the titles at Revolution, in their backyard.

-Brody King is backstage with Bandido at Grand Slam, talking about how he was this close to winning the AEW World Title, he could taste it. King isn’t sitting around feeling sorry for himself, bring the biggest and baddest, February 25^th, he’s getting back into the World Title hunt and he’s looking for a fight. Loud F*ck ICE chants were heard from the Sacramento crowd in the background as the promo was shown.

AEW Women’s Tag Team Champion Willow Nightingale vs. Mina Shirakawa vs. Marina Shafir vs. Megan Bayne for the TBS Title

(I thought this turned into a really fun and chaotic four-way. Everyone had their chance to shine and it never really felt like your standard two people outside, two in the ring and rotate type of match like this has a tendency to be. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bayne gets a future one-on-one shot at the TBS Title, as she looked the strongest coming out of this.)

Shafir quickly sends Shirakawa to the outside and turns things into a handicap match as she & Bayne target Nightingale, who is forced to battle back, sending both over the top to the floor. Cannonball connects off the apron, as Shirakawa follows with a huge cross body off the top onto the pile before taking Shafir back inside with a Tornillo for two. Shafir starts fighting back, sending Shirakawa outside again, as Bayne & Shafir ate a double Code Breaker. Numbers became too much, as Shafir set-up Nightingale in the corner, where Bayne hit a hurricanrana, as Shafir followed with an awkward looking Tiger Feint head-scissors, pulling Nightingale outside. Bayne picked up Shirakawa and launched her from the ring to the floor onto Shafir & Nightingale as things go to break.

Things return with Nightingale & Shirakawa battling back, launching off Bayne’s back with a Tornillo on Shafir. Bayne missed a senton on Shirakawa and squashed Shafir, allowing Shirakawa to nail Bayne with a Sling Blade for two. Nightingale flattened everyone in her path with spinebusters as the straps came down for a two count on Shirakawa. All four ladies rise and trade shots, as Shafir no sold Shirakawa initially, but ate the backfist flush. Bayne & Nightingale wipe out Shafir & Shirakawa, collide with a double clothesline for the complete reset.

Nightingale was up first and spiked Bayne with a DVD, but Shafir was there with a Uranage. Shirakawa took her out with a DDT, as Bayne flew in with a flying clothesline. With everyone outside, Bayne took out the pile with a Tope Suicida, but Shafir pulled Bayne back to the floor and both finally slugged it out. Bayne blocked a kick and powerbombed Shafir onto the time keepers table, which didn’t break. Back inside. Bayne went up top for I think a moonsault, but Nightingale cut her off with an Avalanche German Suplex that looked scary as hell. Shirakawa flew off the top with a Shotgun Dropkick and backfist on Nightingale, as she went for the Figure-Four, but Nightingale caught her with a flash cradle for the win.

Post-match, Bayne was left furious on the ramp, Shafir was struggling, as Shirakawa shook Nightingale’s hand, as she stood tall with the TBS & Women’s Tag Team Titles.

Match Result: Willow Nightingale defeated Mina Shirakawa, Marina Shafir & Megan Bayne to retain the TBS Title

-Highlight video package on Grand Slam is shown

-Commentary paid their respects to the recent passing of Kerwin Silfies, Tony Schiavone talked about working with him earlier in his career, while Bryan Danielson got choked up and said he didn’t know anything about production before getting to WWE and gives his condolences to his family. This was a great tribute.

MJF & Hangman Adam Page Face-to-Face

MJF wants to make something clear, he’s not cutting some cutesy promo to sell tickets, he hates Page’s guts, everything about him. How he walks, looks, how he wrestles, his white knight bullsh*t, how the dumb, white trash hicks actually think Page is on MJF’s level and they have the gall to call Page the main character, when clearly it’s MJF. Most of all, MJF hates the fact that Page holds two wins over him, makes him want to puke. Page isn’t better than MJF, he’s a lucky shot, but MJF sees something the idiots can’t, he can see it in his eyes. Maybe it’s his two boyfriends Kenny & Swerve are fighting or maybe Page is in his head that he had a chance to be at the top of the mountain twice and both times, crumbled under pressure. Maybe, Page wonders if he wins the title a third title and crumbles again, will the fans wonder if Page is truly a fraud? The man MJF is looking in the eye isn’t the same guy he fought at Revolution last year, he thinks Page is out of bullets. MJF can’t think of a better birthday gift to himself than to end Page and his Cowboy Sh*t.

Page said between the two of them, he’s the lucky shot? Page talked about the fans carrying him back to the World Title and how he beat the dogsh*t out of MJF last year. If anyone is lucky, it’s the guy who had a guaranteed shot, took it home, waited until they were in front of the largest crowd they ever seen. Returning with a new head of hair, thicker than Mark Davis, waiting until everyone was on the floor, kicked Page in the balls and collected the spoils of greater men. Page said MJF hates him, but he hates Max so much worse. It’s not because of any of the years of cheating and lying, despite all that, it’s when he looks at MJF, he’s never met someone more like Page. MJF’s desperation for love, acceptance, Page is no better than that and he hates it. Page knows how much MJF wants to make his mark and his loyalty to AEW, but as much as everyone wants that title, they both know they needed it. At Revolution, Page wants to end this for good, forever and he thinks MJF knows that this can’t just be a normal wrestling match, so tells MJF to think of a stipulation. Page always have known what this match should be and should let the fans decided.

Crowd starts chanting Texas Death, as MJF quickly shuts them up and said Page is crazy to think they’re going to have anything but a standard wrestling match. Page thought MJF would say that because he’s scared, a coward, he knows what this could mean. If MJF agrees to the stipulation, Page will give him his word, if Page doesn’t win, he’ll never challenge for the AEW Men’s World Title as long as he lives. Smirk was shown on MJF’s face, as he immediately accepts, saying as far as his stipulation goes, unlike these morons, he thinks things through. MJF needs a week to determine the stipulation, but Page said he knows, Texas Death. Page stormed out of the ring and stopped on the aisle, with the realization of what he just offered up hitting him.

-Jon Moxley is backstage with the Death Riders and said the strength of the wolf (or woof, if you know that Moxley backstory of how Renee gives him a hard time about how he pronounces that word) is the pack, he doesn’t like wolves, he likes coyotes, adaptable, survivors. PAC told the Don Callis Family they aren’t like them, so if you want to continue to test this, how about Collision, gather a few of yourselves and they won’t be hard to find. Daniel Garcia said for the Callis Family, it’s just a name, they aren’t willing to live or die for. Moxley said he’s not done with Takeshita, Revolution, Hollywood, No Time Limits. One way or another, there must be a winner, as long as it takes.

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy & Tomohiro Ishii) vs. War Dogs (Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors)

(Another hard-hitting match and another week where Darby Allin plays the thorn in the side of the War Dogs. I can only hope that Big Tom isn’t badly injured, though commentary talked about how he might’ve torn his hamstring. It’s amazing that he gutted the finish of this match out, but you’d really expect nothing less from The Stone Pitbull.)

Ishii was worked over and isolated early, but started no selling chops from Connors, as You F’d Up chants rang out in the arena. Ishii started teeing off on Connors before Cassidy tagged in and joined in on the chops the lightest way possible for a two count. Kidd briefly distracted Cassidy, who was able to wipe out Connors with a top rope clothesline, but Kidd caught a Tope Suicida and planted Cassidy with an Exploder, until Connors mowed him down with a tackle. Ishii was launched by Kidd ringside, as the War Dogs stood tall heading into commercial.

Connors tried charging at Cassidy, who had his hands in his pockets, but ate a dropkick into the double down. Ishii & Kidd tag in and trade chops until Kidd bit the forehead. Kidd tried a shoulder tackle, but Ishii didn’t budge, so he delivered one of his own and Kidd went flying. Both up and trade loud chops and slaps until Kidd hit a comebacker lariat for another double down.

Connors tags in, charges, but Ishii collapsed, clutching his hip or hamstring. The crowd goes quiet, as Connors picks Ishii up and hits another lariat for two. Ishii avoided a suplex and planted Connors with a backdrop suplex. Ishii struggled to his feet, but still turned Kidd inside out with a lariat, but Connors hit a snap powerslam. Cassidy returned and spiked Connors with a spinning DDT and hit a Tope Suicida on Kidd. Both men brawl into the crowd, where Darby Allin is shown pretty much kidnapping Kidd deep into the crowd. Cassidy returned to the ring, hit an Orange Punch on Connors, who stumbled back into an Ishii brainbuster for the win.

Post-match, Cassidy & referee Rick Knox checked on Ishii, who looked in really rough shape.

Match Result: Orange Cassidy & Tomohiro Ishii defeated Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors when Ishii pinned Connors

-The Don Callis Family are backstage beating up a bunch of fellas, as Josh Alexander accepts the Death Riders challenge. Don Callis walks in and puts the boots to one of the fallen and accepts Moxley’s challenge on Takeshita’s behalf (he’s celebrating with Kyle Fletcher after he won the TNT Title at Grand Slam). Kazuchika Okada walks in and said he’s love to be celebrating with Fletcher in Australia, but he showed up here to do his job because he’s a champion, unlike Takeshita. Okada welcomes in Andrade and calls him the uncrowned champion. Andrade said his eyes are on the AEW World Title. Callis said he sees Claudio Castagnoli walking around with his CMLL World Title, which would look incredible on the mantle of the Don Callis Family. Callis, Okada, Andrade, Alexander, Lance Archer, El Clon, Rocky Romero all cackle like villains to end the segment.

**********

-HOOK cuts a promo about being the new boss of The Opps with Samoa Joe out with injury. The Opps are recruiting and says he sent Shibata back to Japan for their recruiting overseas, while HOOK will handle recruiting here. HOOK calls himself the greatest second generation wrestler of all time, he’s the leader of The Opps.

The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor) vs. Viva Van & B3CCA

Windsor starts things out with Van, as the two trade clubbing shots until Hayter made a blind tag that led to a sunset flip running boot combo. Snap suplex from Hayter, as Van continued to be worked over until she kicked free from a Sharpshooter attempt, but missed a corner charge. Van escaped a double suplex and made the hot tag to B3CCA, who connected on a flashly double springboard cutter. The Birds quickly regained control, as they took out Van on the apron, hit a stereo clothesline and a Hart Attack to win it. Schiavone said their finisher is called Two Birds One Stone.

Match Result: The Brawling Birds defeated Viva Van & B3CCA

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Kris Statlander & a returning Thunder Rosa. Paquette said Statlander is still not clear to wrestle for a few weeks and Statlander said she doesn’t want to wrestle; she wants to fight Thekla. Rosa said she was cleared officially today and doesn’t like what’s been happening to Statlander at the hands of Thekla. While Statlander isn’t cleared, Rosa is and she wants a match. Statlander warns Rosa of what Thekla is capable of.

AEW Trios Champion Kevin Knight (w/Speedball Mike Bailey) vs. The Beast Mortos

(While this was a relatively short match, the crowd were really into it from the opening bell. Mortos continues living up to being the Most Underrated winner this year in the Observer Awards, as he’s not on Dynamite often, but when he is, he more than delivers.)

If Mortos wins, then LFI will receive a future AEW Trios Title shot. Mortos charged at the bell, as Knight quickly sent him outside and launched off the apron with a leaping lariat. Back inside, Mortos was able to mow through Knight with a cross body, but missed a follow corner knee, flying back outside. Trying to create distance, but wasn’t successful, as Knight launched over the corner post with a dive, staying in control heading to break.

Mortos worked over Knight during commercial, as he launched Knight over the top and flattened him with a Tornillo that popped the crowd huge. Back inside, Mortos spiked Knight with a massive pop-up Samoan Drop for a near fall. Knight managed to battle back with a huge dropkick into a double down. Knight used his speed to connect on a hang time lariat and big bodyslam before a leaping splash got a two. Mortos avoided a leaping DDT, went to the corner, where Knight met him with a leaping hurricanrana and pendulum DDT. Knight went up top and hit the UFO Splash for the win.

Match Result: Kevin Knight defeated The Beast Mortos

-Another Will Ospreay vignette is shown saying if you think he’ll be half the animal he was when he returns, no, this isn’t where the Best Wrestle, it’s where the Billy GOAT Wrestles.

**********

-Ricochet & G.O.A. are backstage talking about finally putting Jack Perry into the ground last week before talking about Kevin Knight getting lucky against Mortos. Bishop Kaun is furious that Knight & Bailey are having singles matches and not defending the Trios Titles. Toa Liona said this Saturday, be prepared to be in deep waters against sharks. Jet Set Rodeo doesn’t need to have that stupid name much longer; they’re taking the titles. Ricochet turns around to see a knife stabbed on his locker room door, but they laugh it off.

Kenny Omega vs. Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana)

(An unbelievable main event that somehow reached another level when things returned from the last commercial break. This was a PPV caliber showdown, with a whole lot happening down the stretch, as Strickland not only (presumably) put Omega on the shelf for a while, but he’ll undoubtedly have to answer to Hangman eventually. This makes the World Title picture even more compelling that it already was, as Strickland’s heel turn here was completely unexpected, as least to me, this soon. Bryan Danielson pleading in the post-match, only added to the drama and I hope they have some sort of promo interaction in the weeks to come.)

MJF is shown watching backstage before the crowd started the Holy Sh*t chants at the opening bell, as both trade shoulder tackles before slapping one another in the face. Strickland fired off forearms, but ran right into a standing hurricanrana from Omega that sent Strickland outside. Omega wanted a Terminator Dive, but Strickland cut him off and hit a Fosbury Flop. Strickland was sent into the crowd, where Omega briefly stumbled in his initial attempt, but hit a moonsault off the barricade into commercial.

Back from break, Omega got a boot out of the corner, but charged into a Strickland hip toss, roll, which Omega countered into a suplex of his own for the reset. Double axe handles from Omega, who hit a basement dropkick and Kotaro Crusher before a running face-plant slam got a near fall. Omega connected on You Can’t Escape, but Strickland against kicked out at two. Strickland side-stepped a corner charge, brought Omega up in the corner, took too long for a top rope hurricanrana, allowing Omega to slide out and plant Strickland face first on the post. Snap Dragon and running knee decked Strickland for another near fall. Omega quieted the Whose House chants and hit multiple knee lifts until Strickland caught the third into a back breaker/dropkick combo sending Omega to the apron. Danielson said he sees that look in Strickland’s eye, as he slammed Omega repeatedly into the turnbuckles. Strickland wanted a Vertebreaker on the apron, but Omega thankfully floated over, wanted a Snap Dragon and got it.

This Is Awesome chants, as Omega gives a long look at the floor, as he wanted a Snap Dragon off the apron, but Strickland fought him off. Omega switched to headbutts, went back to it tried the Snap Dragon, only Strickland backflipped out to his feet and hit a rolling suplex on the floor. After throwing Omega back inside, Strickland hit a 450 Splash to the back, but Omega kicked out. Both countered Big Pressure and Snap Dragons respectively, until Omega hit a wheel kick to the head and V-Trigger in the corner to follow. Omega wanted an Avalanche Dragon Suplex and got it, as Strickland called to referee Aubrey that his shoulder might’ve been dislocated. As Omega charged for another V-Trigger, Strickland pulled Aubrey in and she took the blow. Omega was shocked initially, as he tried to go for One-Winged Angel, but Strickland rolled through and hit a House Call. Strickland had a visual pin, but there was no referee.

Nana checked on Aubrey, as Strickland went up top and hit a Swerve Stomp on Omega on the apron, with Omega’s face taking a lot of that, as he’s clutching his jaw. Strickland took off the protective cover of the steel keeping up the turnbuckle and hit a slingshot on Omega face first. Strickland called for another referee, as Paul Turner ran out right as Strickland hit a Swerve Stomp, but Omega kicked out and the crowd went nuts. A shocked Strickland rose to his feet, wanted House Call, Omega ducked into a Snap Dragon, V-Trigger to the back and Poison Rana. Omega wanted One-Winged Angel, Strickland escaped, but ran into another V-Trigger. Omega wanted another, but Strickland hit a charging House Call. Big Pressure spiked Omega for the victory and one hell of a main event.

Post-match, Nana danced, as Strickland slowly turned back to Omega and pounced on him with right hands before launching referee Paul Turner from the ring. Strickland took the chain from Nana and wrapped it around Omega’s throat, hanging him over the top rope. Danielson is pleading on commentary that Strickland is better than this. Omega collapses on the floor, as Strickland cleans off the commentary table with Danielson continuing to say Strickland proved his point. Strickland set up the ring steps next to the table and hit a Vertebreaker off them, crashing through the table, as he looked right at the camera saying “I Needed This” repeatedly as the show went off the air.

Match Result: Swerve Strickland defeated Kenny Omega

********************************

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Tony Schiavone as they throw it to pre-recorded comments from competitors in action tonight.

MJF reminds Brody King that he sees men like him in the streets of New York all the time, they’re called homeless. After tonight, King won’t have a pot to piss in. King told MJF tonight in the main event, he’s going to hurt him, bad and he’s going to earn an AEW World Title shot.

Kenny Omega said one more week and one more win we can get a little closer to reclaiming AEW gold. He hasn’t forgotten what Andrade did to him months ago and knows Don Callis was behind it. Don Callis said his Family presents AEW Dynamite, as tonight, Takeshita takes his next step to becoming the next Continental Champion, Mark Davis will dismantle Hangman Page, while Kenny Omega steps in with a real man tonight and he’ll stomp a hole in Omega, leaving Callis so happy.

Babes of Wrath said MegaBad aren’t ready to feel the wrath, as they’re living their dreams, tonight in Las Vegas, let’s fight. MegaBad said tonight, the Babes of Wrath are looking at the end.

Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC & Daniel Garcia w/Marina Shafir) vs. Don Callis Family (Konosuke Takeshita, El Clon & Josh Alexander)

(I suppose the positive thing about there being so many talented members of the Callis Family is that the Death Riders can fight a different combo every week and we’d get entertaining party matches like this. While it’s clear Takeshita is the next challenger for Moxley, I really hope we see a PAC vs. Clon singles at some point, it felt like they were just scratching the surface. Alexander & Garcia would be excellent as well. Death Riders continue to be in a weird spot, as they’re cheered in most cases now, but are clearly heels in other feuds.)

Garcia & Alexander scrap early, trading takedowns, chops and shoulder tackles. Clon & PAC tag in, exchanging arm bars until both flipped out into multiple standing switches. Clon stumbled out of a hurricanrana, tried a head scissors of his own, but PAC flipped to his feet. Clon responded with a jump kick, kipped up and stared PAC down. Moxley & Takeshita tag in to a big reaction and start throwing bombs, neither giving ground, until Alexander & Clon attack from behind, leading to PAC & Garcia making the save and gaining the upper hand, isolating Takeshita with fast tags. PAC was sent flying over the top to the outside, as Takeshita launched Garcia with an overhead belly to belly onto a down Moxley in the corner. Clon made the tag and lit up PAC with a fast kick combo, floated over in the corner into a Pele Kick, only to run into a bounce back German from PAC, who wanted a head of steam lariat, but was tripped up by Alexander. Clon hit his one leg springboard moonsault, as PAC was pulled outside and beat down with things going to commercial.

PAC was worked over the entire break, as Alexander kept PAC grounded with a Northern Lights for two. PAC started swinging at everything that moved, but walked into a flipping fireman’s carry, only to miss the guillotine knee out of the corner for the reset. Moxley & Takeshita tag back in and keep up the forearms until each trade Exploders with Moxley standing tall, sending Alexander outside and catching a diving Clon with a mid-air Cutter. Garcia made a blind tag, as Moxley leveled Takeshita with a King Kong Lariat, as Garcia sank in the Dragon Tamer while Moxley hit a Curb Stomp. For some reason, Garcia let go of the submission and tried for a cover for two, as Alexander made the save.

The match kept breaking down, as Clon took out PAC with a one-legged Asai Moonsault, but was met with a Moxley Tope Suicida. Garcia went back to the Dragon Tamer, but was rolled up for two. Garcia regrouped, charged, running right into a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near fall. Takeshita went for a Power Driver Knee, was caught with a forearm, but Takeshita blocked a Garcia cazadora into a Bastard Driver and release German. Clon & Alexander joined with a locomotion corner combo until Takeshita hit the Power Drive Knee, but Garcia kicked out. Takeshita wouldn’t be denied, as he flattened Garcia with Raging Fire for the win. Post-match, Takeshita stared down Moxley, who was tending to Garcia outside.

Match Result: The Don Callis Family defeated Death Riders when Takeshita pinned Garcia

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Swerve Strickland & Prince Nana asking where his focus shifts now that he’s out of the World Title picture? Nana said their focus is right where it’s always been. Just because they lost one match, doesn’t mean they’re going anywhere. Strickland didn’t say a word during this and walked off.

**********

-Video package on Will Ospreay is shown, featuring highlights in AEW and also awaiting neck surgery and X-rays of the screws in the neck. Excalibur said the surgery was a success, but we don’t know when Ospreay can return to action. This was a very good update for Ospreay.

Orange Cassidy & Timeless Toni Storm vs. Jordan Oasis & Brittnie Brooks

Earlier today, Cassidy & Storm asked Tony Khan to be a standby match and he said if there’s time, they’d get it. Apparently, time opened up 30 minutes into the show, as Storm is rocking a denim ensemble tonight. Oasis offered a free shot to Cassidy to start the match, as Cassidy threw the tamest of chops, until offering Oasis one of his own. Oasis watched too much Power Slap, as he wound up, but Cassidy missed and got a takedown. After looking at his reflection in Oasis’ bald head, Storm tagged in and fired off Mongolian Chops on Brooks before hitting a series of hairmares and release German that planted Brooks on her neck. Do-si-do by Storm & Cassidy, who did a little Tango before Storm spiked Brooks with a brutal Tornado DDT. Oasis took one of his own from Cassidy until Storm hit the Sweet Cheek Music. Cassidy popped Oasis with an Orange Punch and won it for his team.

Post-match, Luther scurried to the ring as Cassidy took the mic, saying he doesn’t know if the Hair vs. Hair Mixed Tag is a good idea, he likes his hair. Storm said her hair is her livelihood and will look like a boiled egg or angry penis. Storm looked at Luther and crumbled to her knees, as Luther placed her robe over her, as she rose and reminded her & Cassidy who the hell they are. Two things in Australia will happen, either Cassidy gives Wheeler Yuta a combover or Storm will make Marina look like Mox.

Match Result: Orange Cassidy & Timeless Toni Storm defeated Jordan Oasis & Brittnie Brooks

-Earlier today, Darby Allin was skating to the arena when a car pulled up and the War Dogs, Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors, attacked him by the production truck. Connors cracked Allin with a tire before they threw him into the trunk of his car. They pealed out and that was the end of the segment.

AEW Trios Champion Hangman Adam Page vs. Mark Davis

(Hell of a hard-hitting match this was, as I’m hopeful with Jake Doyle out of action for the foreseeable future that Davis stays showcased and doesn’t fall into the background. This was a strong obstacle for Page, who was absolutely stamping his ticket for next week at Grand Slam. It’s now just a matter of who he faces to see who gets the AEW Men’s Title shot at Revolution.)

We’re told if Page wins this match, he’ll move on to Grand Slam Australia to compete for the #1 Contenders match for the AEW World Title. Davis attacked right at the bell, but Page quickly gained control with a low snap dropkick. Page foolishly started a chop battle, which Davis won initially, until Page low bridged Davis outside and met him with a slingshot cross body. Back inside, Davis gain control and took the fight right back outside, crushing Page against the barricade with a charging uppercut into commercial.

We return to Davis clobbering Page in the corner with a home run forearm, took Page up for a superplex attempt, but Page bit his way free, countering into a sunset bomb, Davis blocked, only Page swept the legs out to get his powerbomb. Page hit two springboard lariats, as he told commentary to move, looking for a slingshot sunset bomb, but Davis fought out. Davis tried another charge against the barricade, but no water in the pool and Davis crashed out. Page climbed into the crowd and hit a Orihara Moonsault off the railing before going back inside and connecting on a perfect moonsault press for two. Davis escaped Dead Eye with a release German, wanted a BT Bomb, which Page escaped with a hurricanrana for two. Both trade shots until Davis turned Page inside out with a home run lariat and wildly violent Awful Waffle for a near fall.

Davis tried the lariat once again, but this time Page met him, only for Davis to no sell and get his lariat. Davis tried to pull Page up into a piledriver, but Page countered into Dead Eye for two. Davis side-stepped a Buckshot, Page tried to skin the cat, but Davis caught him, only to fall back over the top to the ramp, Page held on and hit a Tombstone. Back inside, Page connects with the Buckshot to get the victory.

Post-match, Page said he’s stamped his ticket to Grand Slam Australia and hopes to see Kenny Omega there. Page tells MJF if he wins that match, then at Revolution, he’ll stomp every future child out of MJF’s little balls and take back the title that he should’ve never lost.

Match Result: Hangman Adam Page defeated Mark Davis

-Video package on The Jet Kevin Knight is shown. Knight said he knows what he’s capable of and is as good as he says he is. Footage of Knight pinning Kazuchika Okada and being the one to get the pin in the Trios Title win. Knight keeps hearing about how he’s the future, but The Jet is the here and now.

**********

Kenny Omega vs. Andrade El Idolo (w/Don Callis & Lance Archer)

(This is the first time Andrade & Omega have faced-off since Triplemania in 2021. I’m very happy they’re pushing Andrade as a new contender in the main event picture, no matter how he won this match. With this win, it’ll be Andrade vs. Hangman Page next week in Australia for a shot at the AEW World Title at Revolution. A high-quality match, with Omega continuing to look great since returning to action and Andrade having another strong TV outing. I do like how this will presumably lead to an Omega & Swerve Strickland match, which will hopefully happen at Revolution, as I’d build that up over the next month instead of rushing it for Grand Slam, though, they could.)

Callis hid behind Archer as Andrade’s pyro went off, as we saw four “fans” ringside fawning over Andrade during his entrance. Andrade hugged Callis at the opening bell, before starting an early chop battle until Omega threw a V-Trigger sending Andrade outside. Omega wanted One-Winged Angel, but Andrade countered into a snap suplex on the floor. Taking way too much time back inside, Omega battled back with a superplex for two, as Callis said Andrade is so gorgeous he should be on a romance novel riding a horse, a line that baffled Excalibur & Schiavone. Maintaining wrist control, Omega threw a series of chops before successfully hitting You Can’t Escape. Andrade ducked a lariat into a flying forearm, kipped up and signaled for a Figure Four, but Omega got a cradle for two. Andrade quickly up, hit two suplexes, gator rolled outside and hit the third Amigo on the floor. Andrade briefly got distracted by the female fans before connecting on his springboard Tornillo, then posing with the ladies as things went to commercial.

Back from break, Andrade tried his double spring moonsault, but Omega was ready and got the boots up. Omega charged, missing a corner V-Trigger, as Andrade pounced with a Figure Four into the bridge, causing Omega to roll over and Andrade scramble to the ropes. Both trade strikes on their knees and rise to exchange more forearms until Omega spiked Andrade with multiple Snap Dragons. Omega went for a third, but Andrade escaped, only to be sent into the corner, positioning him up perfectly for a V-Trigger. Omega wanted an Avalanche One Winged Angel, but Andrade reversed into a sunset bomb and wrist clutch DDT spiking Omega for two. Callis buried referee Aubrey, as Andrade hit the corner double knees for another near fall.

Omega avoided the DM, leading to another chop battle, this time, Andrade chopped Omega right in the jaw. Both trade big boots and V-Triggers, as Omega went for a home run shot, only to run into the spinning back elbow from Andrade that landed flush. Aubrey checked on Omega, allowing Callis to throw a screwdriver in to Andrade. Callis distracted Aubrey, as Andrade went for the screwdriver shot, but Swerve Strickland ran down and took it from him. Aubrey then was distracted by Strickland, allowing Andrade to low blow Omega and hit the DM to get the win.

Post-match, Andrade scurried ringside and celebrated with the ladies as Strickland got in the ring, while Andrade taunted him up the ramp with Callis & Archer. Omega got up and got into the face of Strickland, as the two bickered and shoved one another. Security rushed the ring and separated the two. I think this was the first time security has successfully done their job and broke up the fight, as Strickland & Prince Nana left with Omega staying in the ring.

Match Result: Andrade El Idolo defeated Kenny Omega

-Video package on Brody King was shown

**********

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Kris Statlander, who agreed not to be out there during the next match and doing so, she’ll give Thekla a rematch next week in a stipulation of Statlander’s choice. If Thekla is a good girl, Statlander will tell her what the stip is on Collision.

Babes of Wrath (TBS Champion Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron) vs. MegaBad (Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford) in a AEW Women’s Tag Team Title Eliminator

Nightingale wanted Bayne to start, but Ford attacked from behind, giving MegaBad the advantage for about 5 seconds, as Nightingale collided them both together. Cameron tagged and we got a cazadora assisted splash on Ford for two. Nightingale tagged right back in with a snap suplex for two, as Ford got a jawbreaker, stumbling back so Bayne could tag in. Nightingale cartwheeled out of the corner and hit an enzugiri, before Ford ran distraction, allowing Bayne to hit a corner hurricanrana and follow-up Tope Suicida. MegaBad in control heading to break.

Nightingale was worked over the entire commercial, until things returned and Ford was launched by a Pounce to lead to the Cameron hot tag. Sling Blades and right hands-on Ford, as both traded standing switches until Cameron got a pump handle suplex for two. High kick connected by Cameron, but Ford answered with a clubbing forearm. MegaBad tried a delayed vertical suplex, but Cameron countered into a double DDT. Bayne recovered, went up top, but was cut-off, as Nightingale joined her partner in hitting a double superplex. Ford flew in with a double Blockbuster from the top, leaving everyone down. Tilt-a-whirl DDT spiked Bayne, as Nightingale followed with a spinebuster, but Bayne kicked out. Ford saved her partner, as Bayne launched her into Nightingale for an assisted Cutter. MegaBad took out Cameron with their Doomsday Device and got the clean pin.

Excalibur talked about how rare it is for Eliminator Matches to pay-off (probably would’ve avoided saying that prior to this evening’s main event), but it did tonight. We’re told MegaBad will get their tag title shot at Grand Slam Australia (during this match, it was also told that Jon Moxley will defend his Continental Title against Konosuke Takeshita on that show as well).

Match Result: MegaBad defeated Babes of Wrath when Bayne pinned Cameron

-Video package on the TNT Title match from Collision last week and the debuting Tommaso Ciampa defeating Mark Briscoe in a 19-minute gem. We go backstage at Dynamite where Ciampa is holding the TNT Title, saying out of respect to the title and Mark Briscoe, he’ll carry on that tradition. Open Challenge continues on Collision in Vegas; he won’t be hard to find. Silvy loves her new home and isn’t going away for a very long time. We’re told the challenge has been answered by Roderick Strong & Claudio Castagnoli.

Ricochet vs. Jungle Jack Perry for the AEW National Title

(The match itself seemed rushed, as aside from Bald chants at Ricochet, the crowd felt tired. It didn’t help that just like their last National Title match, G.O.A. interfered and ultimately led to the finish, even though The Bucks tried helping Perry this time. While I enjoy the action in these Ricochet & Perry matches and think they work very well together, the finish didn’t really make me clamor to see Perry get a third shot, as I have no idea if that’s in the cards. By all accounts, he deserves a shot without interference leading to the finish.)

G.O.A. accompanied Ricochet during his entrance, but went to the back, as Perry hit a dive at the bell and another somersault off the stage to follow-up. In the ring, Perry fired off a Spear and remained in the driver’s seat until Ricochet guillotined him on the middle rope. Ricochet kept Perry grounded, until Perry started a strike exchange. Ricochet was again sent outside, this time, Perry tried a cazadora bulldog, but Ricochet caught and smashed Perry into the commentary desk.

Back from break, Ricochet wanted a brainbuster on the apron, but Perry floated over back inside, swinging for the fences, only Ricochet gouged the eyes. Perry charged and tackled Ricochet over the top, skinned the cat, cleared the top with a big Tope Con Hilo. Back inside, Perry leapt for a DDT, Ricochet blocked into rolling Northern Lights, Brainbuster, held on for a suplex on the apron, held on and hit a DVD on the floor to complete the wildly impressive combo. Throwing Perry back inside, Ricochet connects with a springboard lariat and running DVD for two. Ricochet grabbed the National Title right in front of Rick Knox, as he slid it into the ring to run distraction, tried a low blow, but Perry had it blocked. Thrust kick connects, but the bounce back ended with a Ricochet lariat that turned Perry inside out. Powerbomb DVD countered by Perry into a Poisonrana, leaping DDT and Cutter, but Ricochet kicked out.

Perry wanted the Sacrifice Knee, Ricochet dodged, as both trade school boy attempts for two, with Perry eventually sinking in a Snare Trap. Ricochet tried the ropes, but Perry repositioned to the center of the ring. G.O.A. ran to the ring, as Kaun distracted Knox, allowing Liona to pull Ricochet to the ropes. Knox saw the rope break, as The Young Bucks walked out, smacked Kaun in the back with a chair, as Nick took out Liona with a dive off the ramp. As all this was happening, Ricochet placed the National Title in the corner and dodged a diving Perry, planting him face first into the title. Ricochet hit Vertigo and retained the title. Tony Schiavone said that was a tough break for Perry, as he said at least G.O.A. was kept away, which, no, they weren’t.

We’re told The Young Bucks face G.O.A. on Collision and the winners enter a 3-way match next week on Dynamite, facing The Rascalz an a Wild Card team with the winner presumably getting a Tag Team Title shot, but we weren’t told when that would happen.

Match Result: Ricochet defeated Jungle Jack Perry to retain the National Title

-Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors are in the production truck and have a worker in a headlock, ordering him to play the video they made. We cut to handheld video footage of Darby Allin in a body bag tied to the back of their car (he must’ve been moved from the trunk we saw him left in earlier) and dragged through the desert. Connors cuts the rope, as he & Kidd get back in the car and drive off with Allin left alone. We go back to Excalibur & Schiavone, who hope to have some update on Allin going forward, which, I would hope so.

MJF vs. Brody King in an AEW Men’s World Title Eliminator

(Obviously you can’t do this often, but wow was this effective, as the crowd popped huge for the absolute destruction they just witnessed. This made King a legit challenger heading into Grand Slam, while building the Andrade & Page match as well. A great, unexpected ending to Dynamite.)

Prior to the start, the Vegas crowd broke out in a massive F*ck ICE chant, which seemed to catch MJF off guard, while King nodded his approval. King had announced earlier today on social media that his shirt and comic put out recently raised $58,904 that went to the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee – Education Fund.

Right as the bell sounds, Hangman Adam Page’s music hits and MJF turns his attention to the ramp. King was right behind MJF and choked him out with the hanging sleeper off the apron, causing him to crumble. King quickly brought MJF back inside, hit the corner cannonball and Gonzo Bomb for the squash win and upset!

Post-match, King held up the AEW Title standing over MJF, until Andrade rushed the ring and clocked King with his spinning back elbow. Andrade picked up MJF and spiked him with The DM before Page ran down and clocked him with a Buckshot. Page wanted another Buckshot on MJF, but MJF kicked him low. King recovered and hit another Gonzo Bomb on MJF, holding the title up once again and standing tall as the show went off the air.

Match Result: Brody King defeated MJF to earn an AEW Men’s World Title at Grand Slam Australia

• Kris Statlander defends the AEW Women’s Title against Thekla (stipulation TBA)
• The Rascalz vs. Winner of The Young Bucks/G.O.A. vs. Wild Card Team for a Future AEW World Tag Team Title shot

AEW Dynamite is just outside of Austin, Texas this week for a show with three title matches scheduled.

AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander will defend her title against Thekla of the Triangle of Madness.

FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, with Stokely Hathaway in their corner, will put the AEW World Tag Team titles on the line against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle of the Don Callis Family.

TNT Champion Mark Briscoe is also scheduled to defend his title against El Clon, who is aligned with the Don Callis Family.

Three singles matches featuring former AEW World Champions are also set for Wednesday’s show. Kenny Omega will face Rocky Romero, Swerve Strickland is set to meet Andrade El Idolo, and Jon Moxley will go one-on-one with Ace Austin in a Continental Championship eliminator match.

In addition, AEW World Champion MJF has been announced for the show.

The event takes place at the HEB Center in Cedar Park, Texas, just outside of Austin.

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Kenny Omega’s music hitting for the opening contest, as Excalibur welcomes us alongside Tony Schiavone & Taz. Rocky Romero was already in the ring and attacked during Omega’s entrance.

Kenny Omega vs. Rocky Romero

(Romero got in a little offense, but this was a statement win for Omega, as he’s firmly planted in the World Title mix. Post-match, we finally got some light shined on how we’ll determine the next challenger for MJF and it looks like we know at least a couple of match-ups that will get us there. I’m very happy it won’t lead to another multi-man match, instead, we will see things play out until there is one challenger standing for the World Title.)

Omega quickly gained control with a slingshot dive to the outside. Excalibur goes over how Samoa Joe suffered an injury during training and isn’t cleared for action this week, as Taz wishes him well. Back inside, Kotaro Krusher and running face palm slam from Omega, leading to Romero briefly taking a powder and gaining a cheap shot. Running Sliced Bread kept Romero in control, as the locomotion corner charges connected a few times before Omega derailed it with a big boot. Romero escaped a Snap Dragon into a Rewind Kick, but opted to do a Goal celebration in the corner, opening him right up to eat a V-Trigger to the noggin. Snap Dragon and V-Trigger connected flush, leading to the One-Winged Angel for the win.

Tony Schiavone (rocking matching bright yellow tie and Nikes) comes into the ring post-match and talks about all the possible challengers for the AEW World Title. Schiavone said that the two top contenders will face at Grand Slam Australia, with the winner of that match receiving an AEW World Title shot against MJF at Revolution. The winner of Andrade vs. Swerve Strickland tonight will face Omega next week in Las Vegas to determine one of those spots in Australia.

Omega said he hates to repeat himself, but AEW is supposed to be where the best wrestle. Omega said whether it’s someone that he hates like Don Callis and his Family, or someone that he loves, he’ll become World Champion once again. Hangman Adam Page’s music hit and he power walked to the ring. Page said Omega looks good, but truth be told, after all these years, he’d rather be fighting beside him than against him, but with the World Title at stake, so be it. Page made the mistake of looking past Samoa Joe & The Opps and hoping he’d get to defend the title against Omega again one day, but due to a kick to the balls by HOOK, things are different. As much fire and passion as Omega has, he will not be the next World Champion, nor will it be Andrade or Swerve, the next champion will be Hangman Adam Page.

Swerve Strickland’s music hits and excused himself for sounding like a broken record, but he came back to AEW for a World Championship and he hasn’t been pinned since returning. Strickland’s mission remains the same, he’s getting back his World Championship and doesn’t care who he has to stomp out and ravage to get what he wants. It can be anybody (looking right at Omega) and he does mean, anybody. Omega said he fancies himself at being pretty astute at reading the room and feels the animosity between them and he’s looking for a fight. Strickland laughs and says more than Omega will ever know.

Don Callis’ voice is heard, as he walks to the stage and is booed out of the building, telling Strickland to enjoy being undefeated, as it ends tonight when Andrade pins him. Little Kenny, daddy is here to tell him that when Andrade beats Strickland, he’s coming for Omega. Callis hasn’t forgotten about Page and has something special in mind for him. All three of them are going to understand that The Don Callis Family runs this show. Omega’s music hit, but he told them to cut it, telling Callis he should’ve been worrying about himself instead of his Family. Omega sprinted up the ramp at Callis, who ran for his life.

Match Result: Kenny Omega defeated Rocky Romero

-Video package for Kris Statlander vs. Thekla for the AEW Women’s Title tonight. Babes of Wrath said they know the Sisters of Sin will come out and interfere, but make them a deal, they’ll give them a Tag Title shot if they leave the match tonight one on one.

Jon Moxley vs. Ace Austin in a Continental Title Eliminator Match

(While this didn’t go as long as Moxley’s previous Eliminator matches, I thought Austin put up one hell of a fight and more than held his own, with the crowd popping at his offense. We know who Moxley’s big challenger will come from next, as Takeshita seemingly called his shot and I wouldn’t be shocked if that happens at Grand Slam.)

Renee Paquette was ringside pre-match and put over Austin’s run on Collision (this is his Dynamite singles debut) and also said he was going to be in the match with Austin Gunn against Protoshita last week, but due to travel issues, that had to be switched (which explains the Billy Gunn addition). Bell sounded and Moxley floored Austin with a big boot and corner chops. Austin was able to use his speed to back to his feet, ramped up a strike exchange, but was sent to the apron, but slid back inside for a cazadora arm-drag and hand stand into a PK on the apron. Moxley tried to create some distance, as Austin was in hot pursuit heading into commercial.

Austin controlled most of the break, but Moxley quickly turned the tables when things returned, taking Austin up in the corner with a signature back rake and superplex. Kitchen sink/pump knee/reverse DDT/legdrop combo rattled off by Austin in response, as repeated corner clotheslines led to a springboard attempt at one, only Moxley took his head off with a lariat of his own. Both trade a series of pin attempts until Moxley just gets up and staggered Austin with hard forearms. Austin swung for the fences with a roundhouse kick and got a close near fall. Both trade strikes, until Austin avoided a corner charge and hit his springboard kick for another two-count. Austin took too long to capitalize, allowing Moxley to fire off a Cutter out of nowhere followed by a Death Rider for the win.

Post-match, Konosuke Takeshita’s music hit and he came to the ring and got right into Moxley’s face, pointing at the Continental Title. Moxley said he remembered how Takeshita beat him in the Continental Classic, as Takeshita again pointed at the title before leaving. Jake Doyle & Mark Davis blindsided Moxley from behind and stood tall as we’re told their Tag Title match isn’t next, instead, it’ll be the TNT Title, making this attack kind of odd, but I assume it comes into play later possibly.

Match Result: Jon Moxley defeated Ace Austin

**********

Mark Briscoe vs. El Clon (w/Don Callis) for the TNT Title

(Very entertaining title defense for Briscoe, who continues to be one of the most beloved babyfaces in all of wrestling. Despite this being Clon’s third singles match in AEW, he more than delivered I thought, wowing the crowd with offense we’ve only seen up to this point on Collision. The post-match was a huge reaction for the surprise debut of one Tommaso Ciampa and it will lead to one hell of a showdown on Saturday.)

This is Clon’s Dynamite Debut, as Callis joins commentary and said after his men win their title matches tonight, he’ll rename this Don Callis Championship Wrestling with Taz at a one-man booth. Big time back elbow by Clon, staggering Briscoe in the early going, as a chop could be heard over the entire arena. Briscoe floated over in the corner and took the brawl to the outside, getting a receipt with a loud chop of his own. Briscoe chucked a chair into the ring, tried to leap off it, but Clon returned, flipped over it, missing Briscoe while he tried to launch it at him. Briscoe fired back with a huge lariat, clobbering Clon with a baseball slide and Blockbuster from the apron. Taking too long and playing to the fans, Clon was able to trap Briscoe under the ring skirt and deliver a big boot heading to commercial.

It was all Clon during break, as he connected with a one-legged springboard moonsault for a near fall. Callis put over how he has the best wrestlers from Mexico, Japan & Australia in his Family. Briscoe was able to turn the tables and hit his somersault suicida, as back inside, Clon fired off a thrust kick, only to run into a series of jabs. Both had the same idea and collided with a double clothesline for the reset. Slugfest ensues, until Briscoe fired off an Exploder, corner charge and Fisherman’s Bomb. Briscoe went up top and hit the Froggy Bow, but Clon kicked out. Briscoe signaled for the Jay Driller, but Clon somehow kipped up on impact and hit a Pele Kick. One-legged Asai Moonsault ouside, as Clon quickly took Briscoe back inside for a Double Stomp off the top. Wrist/Ankle clutch driver attempt blocked, as Briscoe fought off a Portal Bomb and got a high stack for the flash pin.

Post-match, Briscoe took the mic and said he’s not doing any ducking or dodging and we’ll be right back in action on Saturday Night and loves the concept of the TNT Open Challenge, but one asterisk, no one from the Don Callis Family, as he’s sick of them. Anyone else, step up, as the lights went out and a heartbeat was shown with the words Psycho Killer reading on the Tron. Tommaso Ciampa has arrived to a massive ovation, as pyro goes off with Ciampa walking to the ring and circling Briscoe, looking at the TNT Title, saying he’s coming for it. Ciampa kissed Briscoe on the cheek and hyped the crowd up ringside, the match is official for Collision.

Match Result: Mark Briscoe defeated El Clon to retain the TNT Title

**********

-Renee Paquette welcomes Kyle Fletcher backstage and at his request, Kazuchika Okada talks about using the screwdriver at Worlds End in his match and took it before Fletcher could use it in his, as he wanted to face Fletcher in the Finals of the Continental Classic and he’s sorry. Fletcher said it takes a big man to admit his faults and accepts his apology. They both shake hands, as Fletcher walks off with Okada staring him down.

MJF Still Can’t Shake Brody King

MJF walks to the ring, as Tony Schiavone compares him to when a dog pees on you, MJF is the pee. MJF asks Taz why they’re having them work in a dump like this and Taz has no answers for the champ. Before MJF could get another word out, Brody King’s music hits and he slowly walks to the ring, as MJF demands the music be cut and fans stop barking. Apparently, King is as deaf as he is stupid (King power walked to the ring and MJF quickly retreated) and MJF asked if they can speak like men? Crowd loudly chanted for Brody, as MJF told “bark boy” last week that he needs to beat someone that matters, but he’s still following him around like a lost puppy. It’s the same thing King did with Malakai Black and it terrified MJF how they’d turn the lights on and off. King also followed Buddy Matthews, a name that strikes fear into everyone and questions how his ankle is, but actually doesn’t give a sh*t.

Now, King follows a loser like Bandido, so maybe he should follow MJF, he’ll pay him to follow him around. They’ll have to fix his asthetic and never in his life has he met a liberal man that looks more like a Nazi. It’s ok, MJF will get him in a nice suit and scarf, as the pipe dream of King beating MJF is just that, a dream. The reality is; in order to be Champion of the World, you need to be a leader and just like the schmuck fans, King is nothing more than a follower.

King said he doesn’t need to follow anybody and what MJF described is called friends, something MJF has never had. King said MJF is right, he sat down with Tony Khan and they thought about who King should face to potentially earn a title shot and they figured it out, MJF. Next week, they’ll have an Eliminator Match and if King wins, they’ll have a World Title match at Grand Slam Australia and King will become the leader that AEW needs. King left with a smile on his face, as MJF could not be more upset with that blowing up in his face.

-Video package on The Young Bucks is shown, as they said a little bit of humility is what helped them. Going back to their roots of tassels and superkicks and challenge any team to face them next week in Las Vegas for a Superkick Party.

Kris Statlander vs. Thekla for the AEW Women’s Title

(I understand we have a lot more left on the show and only a limited time to get to it, but it felt like this was just getting going and reaching another level. I was almost hoping they were going to do a title change here, as it would’ve been a nice surprise, but maybe down the line Thekla can get a rematch. With this loss, I truly hope Thekla somehow remains in the title picture, as she’s been a highlight in the division as one of the more entertaining heels.)

Sisters of Sin were out with Thekla for her entrance, but left soon after, as we’re reminded of the title match offered by Babes of Wrath if they keep their distance from this match. Thekla offered a handshake to start, but slapped Statlander before taking a powder. Statlander had Thekla come to her and delivered a leg drop between the ropes as a result. To the outside, Statlander planted Thekla with a delayed vertical suplex and followed it up with a slingshot into the steps, sternum first. Statlander posed for the crowd way too long, allowing Thekla to charge in with a boot, launching Statlander to the floor. Double stomp to the back off the apron, as we get dueling chants from the crowd heading to break.

Thekla worked over Statlander during commercial and we returned with a tarantula head scissors in the corner, but Statlander powered out, smashing Thekla face first into the top buckle. Building momentum, corner charges and spinning fisherman’s bomb for a near fall, as Statlander tried a DVD, but Thekla escaped to the apron and guillotined Statlander. Thekla rolled through a top rope dive, but Statlander charged and mowed her down with a lariat. Statlander took too long going up top, allowing Thekla to slap her and join in the ropes, delivering a Spider Suplex (Black Widow Jones as Taz called her). Statlander rolled outside to create distance, but Thekla met her with a big time cross-body. Crowd is loudly behind Thekla now, as Statlander kicked out at two back inside. Statlander fired off an uppercut, but turned her back to charge, giving Thekla enough time to hit her Spear for the reset.

Both started swinging on their knees and rose to their feet, with Statlander screaming at Thekla to beat her, but instead, Thekla spat in her face. Black Widow briefly applied, but Thekla wrenched at the arm and followed with a Curb Stomp for a close two. Spider pose from Thekla, as she charged, running into a Statlander thrust kick. Thekla rolled out of Night Fever into a roll-up, Matrixed out of a charge, tried another Spear, but Statlander caught her with a Doctor Bomb and Staturday Night Fever to retain the title.

Post-match, Babes of Wrath came to the ring to celebrate with Statlander until Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford walk to the stage and stare the champions down.

Match Result: Kris Statlander defeated Thekla to retain the AEW Women’s Title

-Don Callis is backstage with Protoshita and talks about bringing the gold home to daddy. Andrade has already made his intentions known and going for the AEW World Title. Callis told Takeshita to take Fletcher’s lead and forgive Okada. If you look up Fletcher’s name in the dictionary, you’ll find TNT and he’ll bring home the title to the Family, whether it’s from Briscoe or Ciampa. Callis said he’s going to go enjoy a martini while Davis & Doyle bring home the Tag Titles and walks off. Takeshita turns to Fletcher and asks if he forgave Okada? Fletcher tried to explain, but Takeshita walked off dejected.

**********

-Video package for Ricochet vs. Jungle Jack Perry is shown ahead of their match next week. We then go to Ricochet earlier today saying we were supposed to hear from Perry, but there’s been a change of plans. Perry was shown trying to fight off G.O.A. but got beat up severely as a result and put through a table with their finisher.

FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood w/Stokely) vs. Mark Davis & Jake Doyle for the AEW Tag Team Titles

(After Davis & Doyle controlled the first portion of the match, it felt like a sprint when things returned from commercial. Now, there’s a lot of speculation that Doyle tore his bicep from taking a DDT on the apron, as it was on his arm that was holding onto the top rope while taking the bump. He & Davis were just getting going as a hoss tag team, so I can only hope for a speedy recovery whatever the diagnosis ends up being. The post-match attack on Moxley earlier in the night made sense for the finish of this match and I’m curious to see if they have to pivot now with the potential injury, which, again, as of right now, hasn’t been confirmed.)

Series of shoulder tackles from Doyle to Wheeler, who tried a leap frog, but Doyle hit a chest bump in mid-air. Davis tagged in and Harwood suffered the same fate as his partner, as Davis started a chop exchange, which he won, hit a standing senton, but as he hit the ropes, Wheeler low bridged him. Doyle was sent outside as well, as Wheeler attempted a dive, but was caught and darted into his tag partner, with the fans cheering for Davis & Doyle into commercial.

During the break, Harwood’s chest has been bloodied from the chops from Davis, who fired off an enzugiri and momentum lariat. Wheeler made the save and planted Doyle with a powerslam, but it was no sold and Doyle mowed him down with another body block. Stokely called Doyle a neanderthal, as Harwood was placed in the corner, wanted a superplex, but Wheeler made the save again and spiked Doyle with a DDT on the apron. This took out Doyle from the rest of the match and despite being not confirmed officially as of press time, you could hear him tell Wheeler he tore his bicep. Davis took out Wheeler, went up with Harwood, who slid out, crotched Davis and hit an avalanche back suplex and Wheeler flew in with a top rope splash for two. We see that the chest of Harwood isn’t bleeding, but there’s a cut above his eyebrow it looks like. Davis sent Wheeler outside before they could try Shatter Machine and he sank in a Sleeper on Harwood, who flailed around before fading.

Death Riders then appear ringside, as Daniel Garcia took referee Paul Turner, as Jon Moxley clocked Davis with the Continental Title. Davis ate a Shatter Machine and FTR retained the titles. Post-match, Stokely said he’s said it many times, he loves the Death Riders before scurrying away on his wheelchair, celebrating up the ramp with Harwood & Wheeler. Moxley acted like he had no idea what happened.

Match Result: FTR defeated Mark Davis & Jake Doyle to retain the AEW Tag Team Titles when Harwood pinned Davis

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Orange Cassidy, who talks about his feud with Wheeler Yuta and said he’s unrecognizable than he was 5 years ago with his dumb bushy beard, when Yuta walks in. Marina Shafir walks in and grabs Cassidy by the hair, as Timeless Toni Storm told her to unhand him, as Shafir is like a bad dose of the clap, you don’t know how you got there, but she’s going to need her to get out of here!

Shafir asks if Storm wants more milk or does her girlfriend want more flowers? Storm told her to piss off, as when her & citrus boy meet them, they’ll be in some deep sh*t. Security separated them all, with Paquette left baffled. I think it’s fair to assume a mixed tag is on tap.

**********

Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana) vs. Andrade El Idolo (w/Don Callis)

(Excellent main event and a finish I didn’t really see coming, with this obviously being Andrade’s biggest W to date in his entire time in AEW. I like how they’ve included him in the list of guys vying for the next title shot with MJF and he’s more than held his own so far and have no reason to believe any different next week against Kenny Omega. It’ll be interesting to see how Strickland bounces back from this and which direction he’ll go, as he’ll undoubtedly want revenge considering how this match ended.)

Don Callis joined commentary, as we got a slugfest out the gate, as both men showed off their athleticism with counters aplenty, both missing home run shots, leading to a stalemate. Both found themselves up in the corner, where Strickland managed a snap hurricarnana, that sent Andrade outside. Strickland tried to clear the top rope, but Andrade moved and smashed Strickland into the steps before taking a selfie with a “fan” ringside. She kissed a piece of paper with her number on it and he put it in his pocket for later and then went back to work over Strickland during commercial.

Back from break, where Andrade hits a picture-perfect springboard Tornillo to the outside. Back inside, Andrade tried his moonsault off the top, Strickland moved, but Andrade kept up the momentum and hit a standing moonsault. Andrade tried a charge at Strickland in the corner, but Strickland caught and delivered a hard Death Valley Driver on the apron to take control. Strickland brought Andrade up on the barricade, but unlike last week with Kevin Knight, Andrade avoided a piledriver and backdropped Strickland, who clipped the barricade. We saw in doing so, Andrade crotched himself at the same time, which Don Callis pointed out. Both men struggled mightily to break the count at 9, diving in simultaneously.

Forearms exchanged, with Andrade firing off nine of them, tried the DM (the spinning butterfly DDT), but Strickland spun out. Andrade charged and clobbered Strickland with his spinning back elbow for a close near fall. Andrade signaled for the running double knees, but Strickland exploded up into a House Call for two of his own. Andrade cut Strickland off in the corner, joined him, as Andrade managed an Avalanche Poison Rana. This put Strickland in position for Andrade to hit the double knees in the corner and wrist-clutch DDT that spiked Strickland, who got his shoulder up. Andrade went for another spinning back elbow, Strickland blocked, tried Big Pressure, Andrade rolled out, but Strickland hit the House Call. Andrade grabbed referee Aubrey as Strickland went for Big Pressure, allowing him to hit a low blow kick and the DM to steal the win. Excalibur said that Andrade is within striking distance of the AEW World Title, as he now faces Kenny Omega next week with the winner advancing to Grand Slam Australia for a #1 Contenders Match.

Match Result: Andrade El Idolo defeated Swerve Strickland

Post-match, Renee Paquette is backstage with MJF asking his thoughts on his match next week with Brody King. If that oversized bag of milk with sharpie written all over him thinks he has a shot, he’s got another thing coming. Kenny Omega walks in and says one more week, one more win and he’ll see MJF for a title match at Revolution. Omega offers a handshake, but MJF walks away and bumps into Andrade, who says he wants the World Title. MJF keeps walks away, out of the arena to an awaiting car, but the door is slammed shut by Hangman Adam Page, who stares MJF down. MJF quickly gets into the car and yells at the driver to drive, leaving Page alone to end the show.

**********

AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage comes on the air with Excalibur & Bryan Danielson, as they run down tonight’s card before we head backstage to Samoa Joe earlier today and said there’s never enough time to deal with fools and their foolishness. Adam Page is one of those fools, as The Opps need to prepare for their Trios Title Match on Collision, so he put out a bounty. The bounty has been posted and the hunter has come to claim his prize. Bryan Keith walks in and said three years ago, Page beat his ass like he stole something, but now, Keith is a different man who will make it personal and cash in, pay up!

Renee Paquette is in the crowd talking about the history between these two and Darby Allin nearly breaking PAC’s ankle last week to get this upcoming match. PAC has won both their singles matches previously and has been firing on all cylinders since his return, but never count out Darby Allin.

Darby Allin vs. PAC

(We’ve grown accustomed to Allin getting beaten up pretty violently and this was no different. The bumps he took were pretty gnarly, making you wonder, like always, how he’s able to walk out on his own when the match is over. I liked how the previous strategy by PAC that got him a win earlier in their feud, backfired and I’m interested in seeing where Allin goes from here, now that he’s conquered all of the Death Riders. Hopefully a run at the AEW Title could be in his future.)

Death Riders accompanied PAC through the crowd and they stopped by Paquette, where he told them all he’s going to do this by himself. They granted his wishes, as Justin Roberts was introducing PAC, who was leveled with a Tope Suicida by Allin, sending him over the barricade, as they brawl into the crowd before the match officially begins. There’s a point where we can barely see them fighting, it’s so dark, but we do catch Allin delivering a Coffin Drop off one of the upper levels. PAC stumbles back to ringside, scrambling away until he side-stepped a charging Allin with a German Suplex on the floor. PAC repositioned the steps and delivered a violent belly-to-belly, thrashing Allin’s back. Both men are back in the ring, as Allin told referee Paul Turner to ring the bell, as PAC immediately hit his sprinting lariat that turned Allin inside out. Placing Allin under the middle rope, PAC guillotined him, but again, Allin kicked out. PAC sent Allin landing face first off a huge back drop, as we go to commercial with PAC in firm control.

Back from break, Allin fought his way out of the corner connecting with a missile dropkick. Danielson talked about the pain he always felt delivering that move, he can’t imagine what Allin is feeling after that suplex into the steps. Allin continues firing up, but sprinted right into a release overhead suplex into the corner. PAC quickly brought Allin up top, this time with an Avalanche Belly-to-Belly, but wasn’t finished, as he connected with an Awesome Bomb from the ring and onto the entrance ramp. PAC waited in the corner, as Allin broke the count at 9 and flipped PAC off, as he jumped to the mat and seemed to tweak his previously injured ankle. Allin pounced, as he sent PAC outside and hit a Coffin Drop off the top, then another onto the apron, landing his own back just as much as PAC. Back inside, referee Turner got too close asking PAC if he wanted to continue in the corner, as PAC pulled him in and Turner took the bullet from a charging Allin.

With the referee down, Allin shot a double leg and sank in the Scorpion Death Lock, as PAC tapped, but called for the troops. Wheeler Yuta sprinted out with a chair, but suffered a Scorpion Death Drop. Allin hit another on PAC before placing the chair around the injured ankle. Allin Pillmanized PAC’s ankle with a Coffin Drop from the corner before re-applying the Scorpion Death Lock and PAC tapped out right as Paul Turner recovered. Post-match, Allin rolled to the ramp, as the rest of the Death Riders checked on PAC. Bryan Danielson questions if with this win and defeating all of the Death Riders, will this bring Allin peace?

Match Result: Darby Allin submitted PAC

Hangman Adam Page vs. Bryan Keith (w/Big Bill)

(This was Keith’s first singles match on Dynamite since February of last year and while I firmly believe Chris Jericho is WWE bound, it’s a shame we never got a pay-off to The Learning Tree. Keith & Bill have seemed to be floundering ever since and I don’t think that should be the case, as Keith showed tonight he can certainly hang as a singles, while Bill always can be a heater for whomever. After a solid match, the post-match was a bigger story, as Page, Strickland & Omega all made their intentions known and it’s not a matter of if, but when, these three will collide on their quest to getting a World Title shot.)

Keith tried a sneak attack, but Page avoided and Keith almost collided with Bill, only to put on the brakes in time. A quick early scramble led to Page clocking Keith with a big boot and corner forearms before connecting on his springing clothesline and slingshot cross body to the outside. Page stares down Bill, as that brief delay allowed Keith to get one shot in until Page bounced back with clubbing blows.  Back inside, Keith took a rolling elbow flush, but Bill tripped up Page, allowing Keith to fire off an uppercut headbutt. The Bounty Hunter controlled the action heading to break.

When things returned, Page no sold a corner big boot, but Keith lured him in with a drop toe hold into the corner buckle, followed by an Exploder for two. Keith charged, only to run into a Page fall away slam, as Keith answered with a roll-up and overhead suplex into the corner for another near fall. A visibly frustrated took too long to follow-up, as Page spun out of a Tiger Driver, looked for a Buckshot, but was tripped by Bill again. Keith missed a baseball slide, Page missed a moonsault off the apron, as Keith slid back in and took the ref, as Bill grabbed Page, wanted a choke slam, but Swerve Strickland flew in with the chain and choked out Bill. This allowed Page to clobber Keith with a Buckshot Lariat and get the pin.

Post-match, Page grabbed the mic and said called Keith a dumbass before telling Samoa Joe he’s going to take everything from him. Strickland said he has a message for MJF, if he is victorious tonight, it means he lost, as WE will be coming after him relentlessly. Page & Strickland look right at the camera, as Strickland said it’s been a while since he’s had a World Title around his waist, as this year, we get back on the top of the mountain and make this Swerve’s House.

Kenny Omega’s music hits and even he was surprised by the amount of pyro he got. Omega, Page & Strickland all share the ring, with Page giving a smile, while Strickland didn’t look very happy. Omega said he had his own time etched out for what he was going to say, but why not come out here now when three of the greatest AEW Champions are sharing a ring. Omega doesn’t want to speak for anyone else, but it feels like they have something in common. When the fans called Omega the God of Pro Wrestling, it meant something and if they still believe, so does Omega. Being an EVP, you can’t just snap your fingers and get a title shot, you have to earn a shot, so he’s got to get some wins, so whether it’s friend or foe, he’s coming for that belt. Page said unfortunately, this isn’t a team effort, so if they cross paths on the way to the championship, sincerely, may the best man win. Page & Omega shook hands, as Page left the ring, with Strickland giving a long stare at Omega before leaving with Prince Nana.

Omega was going to hit his go home line, when the Don Callis face appeared on the Tron and he came to the stage with Lance Archer, Josh Alexander & Rocky Romero, saying he has something important to say. Callis said Omega wants to wrestle, kid? How about you wrestle against the man who broke Kota Ibushi’s leg, Josh Alexander. Omega told Uncle Don he could barely hear him over the fans booing, but tells Alexander he has a little bit of time, tonight. If the fans want it and Tony Khan wants it, he’s ready to go, but Callis stopped Alexander. Callis said Omega forgot how their relationship works, you do what daddy says, daddy decides what happens when matches happen up in here and it’s next week on Dynamite. The Callis Family leaves, as Omega said today was a big first step, phase 1, of Kenny Omega becoming AEW World Champion once again. Omega hit his Goodbye (smooch) and Goodnight line.

Match Result: Hangman Adam Page defeated Bryan Keith

-Renee Paquette is walking backstage with Brody King, asking his thoughts on tonight’s main event, when they’re interrupted by Jon Cruz, telling him to tell his masked friend to never put his hands on him again. King said that’s fine, but up next is a standby match and Cruz said he’s wearing a suit, he can’t wrestle before scurrying away. That slaughter, I mean, match, is up next.

**********

Brody King vs. Jon Cruz

Cruz sprinted to the ring, running for his life, as King stalked him down. The bell sounded and Cruz tried a cross body and bounced off King like a bouncy ball before being turned into a mannequin after a big forearm. King missed a corner charge, as Cruz quickly went up top for a dive, but King swatted him out of the air like a fly before hitting a Gonzo Bomb for the easy win.

Post-match, King took the mic and told Bandido he wants to see him kick MJF’s ass, as it’ll be an honor to face Bandido for the AEW Title and walk away champion.

Match Result: Brody King defeated Jon Cruz

-Video package on MJF’s return, winning the AEW World Title at World’s End, Bandido winning the Dynamite Diamond Ring and their face-off last week. This was a good video leading to tonight’s main event.

The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) vs. G.O.A. (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) vs. JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & Speedball Mike Bailey) vs. Don Callis Family (Mark Davis & Jake Doyle w/Don Callis) for a Future Shot at the AEW World Tag Team Titles

(This was one hell of a party match and chaos the entire time, with tags not being necessary. I would’ve called this a Tornado Tag in that aspect, but regardless, every team got a chance to shine, especially the new duo of Doyle & Davis. Commentary really put over how big of an upset this was, with this being their first time teaming, but they more than held their own. I really hope we get them as a permanent duo going forward and this isn’t a temporary type deal. I’m looking forward to seeing the Tag Title match with them & FTR, whenever that might be, we weren’t told at this moment when it would happen.)

Ricochet & Callis join commentary, as the bell sounds and JetSpeed & The Bucks hit double dives on G.O.A, Davis & Doyle before facing off in the middle of the ring, slugging it out. Each team had the other scouted perfectly, until G.O.A, Davis & Doyle cleaned house and both of these teams face-off, but never go at it, as JetSpeed flew in with double dropkicks. JetSpeed & The Bucks do a double chicken fight to hit dueling DDT’s, as Matt, Knight & Bailey all tried dives, but were caught, resulting in Nick doing a springboard somersault dive onto the entire pile. Taking turns delivering 10 corner punches to Davis & Doyle, both miss charges, run into each other, which seemed to hype one another up. JetSpeed & The Bucks fire off superkicks and try a double BTE Trigger, but Davis & Doyle his a quadruple powerbomb on both teams. Liona ended up being the last man standing, as he floated over the corner onto the apron and did a moonsault onto the pile, which popped the entire crowd and leaving Ricochet cackling on commentary heading into break.

Things return with Knight trying a rolling leaping lariat, but Doyle threw himself at him with a huge body block in mid-air. Nick floated over a double hip toss, as Matt joined for a huge assisted pop-up dropkick before sending Davis crashing outside. Nick floated over and punted Davis in the face, Matt hit his somersault stunner off the apron. The match breaks down back in the ring, as JetSpeed & The Bucks hit stereo quadruple dives from the top before Knight ate a Superkick, Bailey matrixed out, pump kick, leg sweep, moonsault double knees, as Knight flew in with a springboard lariat on Matt for the reset.

Doyle tried an Awful Waffle on Nick, but Kaun put a stop to it, causing Doyle to tumble outside. G.O.A. lay waste to The Bucks, as Fall From Grace (the former Open The Gates) takes out Nick, but Knight broke the count. Liona tried a double Samoan Drop on The Bucks, but Bailey miraculously hit Ultimate Weapon onto the pile before Knight flew half way across the ring with a UFO Splash for two. Kaun broke up the count, as Bailey charged, only to eat a Superkick from The Bucks, who ramped up a Superkick Party. Liona ate four of them before Bailey was set-up and took enough of a bounce back double stomp powerbomb combo. Knight took a BTE Trigger, as Ricochet left commentary and pulled Rick Knox out of the ring during the count. Ricochet said he can’t be disqualified, as Jack Perry flew in off camera and brawled with Ricochet into the crowd.

Davis & Doyle were left in the ring with JetSpeed, as Bailey fired off multiple kicks, round house to Doyle and Time Adventure to Davis before trying a corner hurricanrana on Doyle, who held on, rolled up and launched Bailey onto the pile outside. Davis quickly grabbed Knight, pulled him up by the legs into a stuff piledriver to get the win.

Post-match, FTR’s music hits and the AEW Tag Team Champions walk out pushing Stokely in a wheel chair. Davis & Doyle mockingly applaud as Wheeler & Harwood get in the ring, hold their titles up and have a face-off before Davis & Doyle start the brawl. Security & referees hit the ring, as Callis said his guys need to pound those two hillbillies. FTR retreat, as Stokely watched on from his wheelchair, sadly no miracle tonight and he didn’t get to his feet.

Match Result: Mark Davis & Jake Doyle defeated The Young Bucks, JetSpeed & G.O.A. to Earn a Future Shot at the AEW World Tag Team Titles when Davis pinned Knight

AEW Women’s Champion Kris Statlander & AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions Babes of Wrath (TBS Champion Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron) vs. Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart & Skye Blue)

(It’s about time Thekla gets a big win, as they’ve been teasing having her in the title picture for a while now. I did like how they had Statlander take the bullet for her former long-time rival and it ultimately led to the finish. Another title match down the line that should be good whenever it happens.)

Statlander won the early exchange with Hart, before using Cameron for an assisted splash and near fall. Hart ran into a high kick from Cameron, who followed up with a Sling Blade for another near fall. Nightingale tagged in, planted Hart and used Cameron with a cazadora splash. Hart finally got a jawbreaker to break free and tag Blue, who hit a cartwheel forearm in the corner. Blue charged and ate just enough of a Nightingale enzugiri. Quick series of sliding strikes to Blue, which Excalibur said is called the Long Island Railroad. Cameron was decked from behind, allowing Blue to recover and control the action heading into break.

Cameron was worked over the entire break, as Sisters of Sin stopped Nightingale & Statlander from initially making the hot tag, only to be beaten down by Statlander, who did make the tag and faced off with Thekla. Front-face driver from Statlander, as Hart tried a sneak attack, but was caught into a back breaker, while Blue was catapulted into the corner. Running corner charges to Thekla led to a spinning fisherman’s driver, but Blue made the save and spiked Statlander with a DDT. Nightingale planted a posing Blue with a spinebuster, but Thekla took her head off with a Buzzsaw Kick. Cameron returned with a backstabber, allowing Statlander to make the legal tag to Cameron, who hit a Sling Blade to Thekla’s feet, causing Statlander to swing her down face first to the mat. Nightingale backpacked Cameron onto a splash on Thekla, but Sisters of Sin broke the count and laid out Cameron with their spinning side slam.

Thekla took out Statlander, but Nightingale met her with a discus lariat. Nightingale wanted a Doctor Bomb, which Thekla spun out of, did her Spider pose, went to Spear Nightingale, but Statlander took the bullet. Curb Stomp delivered to Statlander, as Thekla pinned the AEW Women’s Champ.

Match Result: Triangle of Madness defeated Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron when Thekla pinned Statlander

-Renee Paquette is backstage with JetSpeed talking about their rocky start to 2026. Swerve Strickland interrupts and said whenever he & Bailey mix it up in AEW, they’re going to have a fire match. Strickland told Knight he’s the future of this business and his time is coming. Before Knight could respond, Hangman Page walks in and said he told Samoa Joe he would take everything from him and said this Saturday, he takes the Trios Titles from him this Saturday. Hangman & JetSpeed against The Opps, which Bailey was shocked and asked if Page was for real. Page said of course, he just made the match and walked away with JetSpeed high fiving.

-A quick video of a dancing mushroom graphic is shown, saying The Rascalz are coming soon to AEW

MJF vs. ROH World Champion Bandido for the AEW Men’s World Title

(A great main event that felt very refreshing as the heel champion didn’t resort to any sort of cheating, aside from an eye poke early in the match. While I don’t think many thought Bandido was winning, he put up one hell of a fight and the crowd was still supporting him, even in defeat. The post-match, of course, the dastardly heel MJF came out and we got the actions we’ve grown used to. While Brody King was promised the first shot had Bandido won, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bandido still grants him one for the ROH Title possibly.)

Bandido had new entrance gear, including helmet and sword, while MJF did his entrance and huge banner fell from the rafters. MJF hit an early shoulder block and mocked a shimmy before hitting a Fargo Strut. Bandido rolls through a monkey flip, fires off an arm drag and head scissors before multiple leg sweeps for near falls. MJF dodged one, called Bandido a dumbass, only to get swept again and Bandido pointed the finger gun at MJF, who raked the eyes. Gorilla Press lands, until MJF takes a powder, dodging a Bandido dive initially, but as he walked around ringside, Bandido readjusted and wiped out MJF with a quick dive. Back inside, MJF rolled away from a Frog Splash, suckering in Bandido to the apron to hang him up by the left arm, zoning in. Gnarly pump handle driver nearly spiked Bandido on his head for a near fall, as MJF mocks the Macarena, which gave Bandido time to recover, do the Macarena of his own, but MJF avoided a handspring by kicking out the bad arm. Butterfly shoulder breaker connects, as MJF snapped the arm into the corner for a near fall, with MJF in control heading to commercial.

Back from break, MJF tried to mock the Three Amigos, did the shimmy, but Bandido powered through and delivered a stalling vertical suplex into the reset. With the good arm, Bandido delivers his one arm Gorilla Press, but MJF avoided 21-Plex and hit a double stomp to the bad arm out of the corner. Bandido side-steps a charge and completely clears the top for a Somersault Suicida. MJF leapt over the barricade to create distance, as Bandido went up top, cleared the entire barricade and wiped out MJF with a cross body. Both men back inside, Bandido delivered a Tornillo for a close two, which was followed up with a Poison Rana and Code Red for another near fall. Bandido wanted a 21-Plex, but MJF held on while Bandido’s bad arm gave out. MJF stunned Bandido with a big boot, wanted Heatseeker, but was thrown off, only to hit his Slingshot Cutter for two.

Bandido back out to the apron, as MJF again looked for Heatseeker, missed again, tries the Cutter again, this time Bandido had it scouted and hit a enzugiri followed by a Shooting Star Press for two. MJF floated over a 21-Plex, avoided Code Red into a small package, as both trade two counts, then one counts before Bandido got the closest near fall of the match. X-Knee caught MJF flush, as Bandido finally hit the 21-Plex, but couldn’t keep the bridge, the delay allowing MJF to kick out, but right into Salt of the Earth. Bandido tried crawling to the ropes, MJF repositioned into the LeBell Lock, as Bandido flipped MJF off initially, but faded.

Post-match, an exhausted MJF took the mic and said when he laughed when heard people call Bandido a future AEW World Champion, but after wrestling him, they were right. As much as it pains him, Bandido will be champion one day in AEW. Unfortunately, that means MJF has to do this…he slammed the AEW Title belt onto Bandido and signaled he was going to unmask him, but Brody King sprinted out and MJF hightailed it to the back. King helped Bandido up and the crowd cheered as the show went off the air.

Match Result: MJF defeated Bandido to retain the AEW Men’s World Title
