Tony Khan has announced two new matches for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door Zero Hour.
For the first time, WON Hall of Famer Mistico will team with The Lucha Bros on the show. They will wrestle Yota Tsuji, Titan, and Hiromu Takahashi in a trios match.
LuchaBlog clarified that Mistico teaming with Penta & Rey Fenix likely means CMLL no longer considers the Lucha Bros to be affiliated with AAA.
“This is not AAA/CMLL together, the opposite. Penta recently said he likes everyone in AAA but would not be working there this year. There was something he wanted to do and had not done that required him to not work with AAA. This is CMLL saying they believe LB are not AAA guys,” LuchaBlog wrote.
Saraya vs. Mariah May in an Owen Hart Cup quarterfinal match is now scheduled for Sunday’s pre-show as well. The winner of that match will advance to face the winner of Deonna Purrazzo vs. Hikaru Shida (scheduled for Collision) in the tournament semifinals.
This Sunday, 6/30@UBSArena Forbidden Door Zero Hour
This week’s MLW Anthology episode highlighted one of the best tag teams in the world today: Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix, The Lucha Bros.
Before joining AEW, the current AAA Tag Team Champions showcased their amazing talents in MLW. Here we saw a spectacularly athletic and hard-hitting bout between them that main evented the debut episode of MLW Fusion back in 2018, along with the vacant MLW Tag Team titles being up for grabs in a three-team elimination match when Pentagon & Fenix faced The Dirty Blondes and the team of Jason Cade & Jimmy Yuta.
Full Recap —
Pentagon Jr. defeated Rey Fenix (MLW Fusion debut episode, January 2018) (14:08)
The Lucha Brothers clashed in the main event of the debut episode of MLW Fusion in a must-watch, amazing match. Within the first three minutes, we had superkicks galore and a suicide cannonball dive by Fenix that knocked the first five rows of fans off their seats.
Fenix was up to his usual tricks — walking the ropes with an alternating jump between top and middle — before adding a little back bump ONTO the top rope and arm dragging his brother across the ring. Incredible balance and control.
Pentagon & Fenix ended up winning the MLW Tag Team titles together later in their MLW careers, but here in episode one they were enemies as Pentagon was part of Salina de la Renta’s heel faction Promociones Dorado. And the brothers did not let their family ties hold them back at all. They chopped each other within an inch of their lives throughout the match and showed that they can do more than flip and fly, they could hit hard too.
They also made the most of not having a guardrail at ringside as Fenix hit a hurricanrana and planted Pentagon right into the laps of the fans in the front row.
If I were to list all the amazing athleticism on display to describe how terrific this was I would be here all night. Just be reassured they left nothing in the ring. Fenix had plenty of springboards emanating from everywhere inside the ring and Pentagon certainly had his superkick boots on this evening.
Pentagon picked up the win and a future title shot at then-champion Shane Strickland after a flury of high impact moves at the end: a destroyer, a pop-up flip powerbomb, a cross armbreaker, and his Penta Driver.
The Lucha Bros defeated The Dirty Blondes and Jimmy Yuta & Jason Cade to win the MLW Tag Team titles (MLW Fusion, June 2018) (16:49)
We were told there were no rules in this “anything goes” three-team elimination match for the MLW Tag Team titles — even though the commentary team then questioned why the teams set up on the apron for tags. The action was fast and furious from the start and the tags were immediately thrown to the side and forgotten as Fenix jumped in with a superkick to start off the mayhem.
The dynamics of all three teams were set out from the early going: Leo Brien and Michael Patrick (The Dirty Blondes) were the big powerhouse hoss team, Jimmy Yuta & Jason Cade (Team TBD) were the smaller, more agile and high-flying team, while The Lucha Bros were the superkicking, high-spot artists we have grown to love in recent years.
But not everyone stuck to their guns — Patrick hit a senton off the apron onto all the other competitors at ringside.
The teams took turns displaying their offense and it was during these early exchanges that Cade pinned Patrick to quickly eliminate The Dirty Blondes after coming off the top rope. This brought it down to Team TBD vs. The Lucha Bros and here is where the tempo stepped up another notch. The superkicks were out in force again here. After a double-team catapult senton and a double pin it looked like it was all over, but TBD showed their fight with a double kick out.
Yuta and Cade came off the same turnbuckle and hit Fenix with a double dropkick as the commentary team played up their surprise at how well they were doing against The Lucha Bros. Cade had a few comedy spots with Pentagon but was not laughing when he went for a back handspring off the ropes and while upside down was met with a dropkick to the gut.
Fenix made another late save for his brother after Yuta had hit a Samoan driver on Penta. And the favor was returned moments later after Cade eventually hit his handspring facebreaker on Fenix. Fenix then kicked out of the high-flying combo that put away The Dirty Blondes as we came to the closing stages of this great match.
A miscommunication between TBD led to a superkick/Penta Driver combination on Cade, then a double foot stomp/piledriver combination on Yuta that was enough to crown The Lucha Brothers as the new MLW Tag Team Champions — the first tag champs for the promotion since CW Anderson & Simon Diamond held the gold back in 2003.
Speaking of Anderson & Diamond, we saw a preview of next week’s Anthology of Steve Corino and The Extreme Horsemen where they jumped Terry Funk before an early MLW show. The Horsemen were in a limo pulling up to the building and saw Funk meeting some fans in line. After some jaw-jacking, The Horsemen jumped Funk, busted him open, and left him lying on the street.
Today’s MLW roster then had their time in the limelight as this week’s Pulp Fusion gave everyone a chance to keep us up to date with their current goings on.
– The Von Erich brothers welcomed us to this week’s Pulp Fusion with the news that MLW has signed a deal with DAZN.
– Filthy Tom Lawlor was home schooling his kids, but it all went wrong as they repeatedly took The Von Erichs’ side saying The Von Erichs were tougher than Lawlor, had higher IQs, were the champs when he wasn’t, and were also more handsome than he was.
– Alex Hammerstone and Richard Holliday were discussing Dynastic Coffee, but Hammerstone wanted his own Exotic Latin Muscle brand featuring his favorite Mexican “supplements.”
– Mance Warner was complaining about having no one else to fight and that Uncle Moonman was running around barefoot taking forever to build him his triple cage, so he decided he was challenging a bear to fight him in his cage instead of any humans. Warner said he “was going to hit the pay window on a big ass bear.”
– Dan Lambert was warning us all about Low Ki’s psychological state and told us that American Top Team was now up 2-0 on Ki.
– Myron Reed told us about Injustice’s fight, saying they were bigger, stronger, and more determined than before. Jordan Oliver laughed at CONTRA Unit and told us he could beat up Simon Gotch if given the chance. The joking was over when the newest member of Injustice, Saieve Al Sabah, then told us that every revolution needed a spark, and his knuckle dusters were his.
– We then cut to Mexico City where we saw a door open and a blonde in high heels stepping into the shot. As the camera panned up, the women turned and it was none other than Salina de la Renta announcing her return to MLW!
Next Week —
MLW Anthology: Steve Corino and The Extreme Horsemen.
Kenny Omega and PAC will be facing off in six-man tag team action on AEW’s first show of 2020.
AEW has announced that Omega & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) will team against PAC & The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) on next Wednesday’s New Year’s Day episode of Dynamite. The show is being held at Daily’s Place amphitheater in Jacksonville, Florida.
The storyline between Omega and PAC has seen PAC demanding a rematch after Omega defeated him on Dynamite last month. They’re 1-1 against each other in singles matches in AEW.
Omega & The Young Bucks vs. PAC & The Lucha Bros was originally scheduled for Fyter Fest back in June, but Laredo Kid replaced PAC in the match after PAC was pulled and didn’t make his AEW in-ring debut until defeating Omega at All Out.
Riho vs. Kris Statlander for the AEW Women’s Championship and Cody Rhodes vs. Darby Allin have also been announced for next week’s Dynamite, and there will be segments where Jon Moxley responds to Chris Jericho’s invitation to join the Inner Circle and MJF gives his stipulations for an upcoming match against Cody.
A first-time ever match between two teams of siblings is set for the second AEW Dynamite of 2020.
AEW announced this afternoon that Cody & Dustin Rhodes will team up against The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) on the January 8 episode of Dynamite. This is the first match announced for the show.
Cody and Dustin have teamed together twice in AEW thus far. They lost to The Young Bucks in the main event of Fight for the Fallen in July. On week three of AEW Dark, Cody, Dustin & The Young Bucks defeated Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) & Strong Hearts (CIMA & T-Hawk).
Pentagon & Fenix defeated Kenny Omega & Hangman Page on Dynamite last week. Page accidentally hit Omega with a Buckshot Lariat before the finish.
Dynamite is off this week due to Wednesday being Christmas. The show returns with a live episode at Daily’s Place Amphitheater in Jacksonville, Florida on New Year’s Day.
The January 8 episode of Dynamite is taking place at the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi. It’s being called the anniversary edition of the show, with it being held on the one-year anniversary of AEW’s Double or Nothing rally.
It didn’t take long for AEW to respond to NXT’s opening match announcement for this Wednesday.
Earlier this morning, WWE revealed that Adam Cole and Finn Balor’s NXT Championship match would open this week’s NXT episode and would be commercial free. AEW then announced their opening match for Wednesday, with Kenny Omega & Hangman Page teaming against The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix).
Omega & Page vs. The Lucha Bros will also be commercial-free.
AEW tweeted: “Kicking off #AEW Dynamite this Wednesday, it’s a dream tag team match as #TheLuchaBrothers face Kenny Omega & Hangman Adam Page, and as always – it will be commercial-free! Watch #AEWDynamite on @TNTDrama 8e/7c or get your tickets for Corpus Christi at AEWTIX.com”
Omega & Page have previously teamed together on Dynamite three times. They defeated Kip Sabian & Shawn Spears last week, with Page blind-tagging himself in and pinning Sabian after hitting the Buckshot Lariat.
Wednesday’s Dynamite is taking place at the American Bank Center Arena in Corpus Christi, Texas. Here’s what’s been announced for the show:
AEW World Champion Chris Jericho vs. Jungle Boy in a non-title match with a 10-minute time limit
AEW Tag Team Champions SCU (Scorpio Sky & Frankie Kazarian) defending against The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)
Britt Baker vs. Kris Statlander (winner becomes number one contender to Riho’s AEW Women’s Championship)
Cody Rhodes & Darby Allin vs. The Butcher & The Blade
AEW Dynamite rolls into the Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, West Virginia tonight.
The fifth episode of Dynamite will feature the conclusion of the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament, as SCU will take on the Lucha Bros to determine the company’s first tag champs. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express will present the titles to the winning team.
Dynamite will also showcase a Full Gear contract signing, with Chris Jericho and Cody making their match at the November 9 pay-per-view official.
Elsewhere on the show, Sammy Guevara will face “Hangman” Adam Page, and The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega will take on Jack Evans, Angelico & Kip Sabian in six-man tag action.
The Best Friends & Orange Cassidy are also expected to compete in six-man action, against unnamed opponents.
Rounding out the card, Jon Moxley will be appearing. The AEW website says Moxley will be in action, while their social media channels seem to indicate Moxley will be delivering a promo.
The show will also feature Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty.
Our live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
**********
The show opened with Tony Schiavone greeting Cody and Dustin Rhodes as they arrived via private plane in Charleston. Dustin told Cody that he loved him and would see him at the building. Tony and Cody got in a limo to drive to the building. This seems to be a modern take on the 1993 Starrcade angle.
They recapped the post-show angle from last week. Jon Moxley went into Tony Khan’s office and was told that his match with Kenny Omega at Full Gear will have to be an unsanctioned match. Moxley was livid. He said that what happens to Omega will be on Khan’s hands. Khan was never shown on camera.
“HANGMAN” ADAM PAGE DEFEATED SAMMY GUEVARA
Page hit some chops, then a boot to the chest. Page used a vertical suplex for a one count. Guevara came back with a leapfrog dropkick, then he hit his own vertical suplex for a one count.
Page hit a palm strike and a fall-away slam. Guevara pulled Page’s legs out form under him, and Page crashed against the apron. Guevara then sent Page into the barricade. Back inside, Guevara teased a top rope move but jumped off and slapped Page instead.
Guevara hit a superkick. Page countered with a lariat. Page teased a Deadeye on the apron, but Guevara blocked. Page hit a sidewalk slam on the apron. Page then used a powerbomb for a near fall.
Guevara rolled outside. Page hit a moonsault off the post, then threw Guevara back inside. Page teased a Buckshot Lariat, but Guevara stepped away. They traded strikes. Guevara sent Page up and over the top, but Page landed on his feet on the apron. Page then hit the Buckshot Lariat for the pin.
Page cut a promo after the match. He said that things haven’t been going well for him lately, but tonight felt good. He promised to do “some real cowboy shit” at Full Gear, and to take PAC’s head off.
**********
During a commercial break, we saw the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express meeting with Private Party backstage.
HIKARU SHIDA DEFEATED SHANNA
They traded waistlocks. Shanna worked over the left arm, then hit a neckbreaker. Shanna sent Shida outside and teased a dive, but Shida jumped on the apron and cut her off. Shida set up a chair on the floor. She used it as a launch pad for a jumping knee strike.
Back inside, Shida hit a backbreaker for a one count. Shida hit a running knee in the corner. Shida hit some more knee strikes. Shida teased a brainbuster, but Shanna blocked, then pulled Shida into an inside cradle for a two count.
During a commercial break, they exchanged hurricanranas. Shanna used an Angel’s Wings for a two count. Shanna climbed to the top rope, but Shida cut her off. Shida went for a superplex, but Shanna fought her off, then hit a double stomp for a two count.
Shanna tried another Angel’s Wings, but Shida blocked, then hit a spike piledriver. Shanna rolled to the apron. Shida suplexed her back inside and got a near fall.
Shanna countered a knee strike and used a cradle for a two count. Shida hit a jumping knee strike, then used a falcon arrow for another near fall. Shida then hit another running knee strike. This time it was enough for the 1-2-3.
Very solid work from both women. Shida is going to be a star.
**********
We got a very cinematic Brandi Rhodes video package. She was shown staring at photos of Britt Baker and Riho, then summoning Awesome Kong using tea candles. Kong used a meat cleaver to chop up some hair extensions. This was bizarre.
**********
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express came to the stage with the AEW tag titles. Ricky Morton said it was great to be back in West Virginia. Robert Gibson started to cut a promo, but Santana and Ortiz jumped the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express from behind.
Santana and Ortiz beat up on Morton and Gibson, then powerbombed Morton through a section of the stage. The Young Bucks came out to make the save, and Santana and Ortiz took off.
**********
Cody and Tony were shown riding in the limo. Tony told a great Dusty story. He took Dusty to meet Willie Nelson once. Dusty made Willie wait to see him, because the star always comes out last.
Cody said his mom will be at Full Gear and he wants to impress her. Tony encouraged Cody to use that emotion and the positive vibes form his family to beat Jericho.
This was awesome.
**********
BEST FRIENDS & ORANGE CASSIDY DEFEATED JOHN SILVER, ALEX REYNOLDS & Q.T. MARSHALL
This was total comedy. Rick and Morty were the ring announcers for Best Friends and Cassidy.
Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor were dressed as Rick, and Trent was dressed as Morty. Trent lost his wig which allowed the jobbers to get the heat. Orange Cassidy entered and hit his trademark kicks, then hit a tope suicida with his hands in his pockets.
Trent pinned Silver after Taylor and Trent hit the Strong Zero.
**********
JERICHO VS. CODY CONTRACT SIGNING
Cody signed. Jericho teased flipping the table over, but said the match was too important to resort to such tactics. He said that this was the most important match of Cody’s life; he would either win and become the world champion just like he’s always wanted, or he’d lose, proving he’s not as good as he thinks he is.
Jericho heeled on the crowd. He offered Cody a handshake. Cody accepted, and teased an attack. Jericho said before Cody did something stupid, he might want to see if he’s needed elsewhere.
A video played on the big screen of The Inner Circle attacking Dustin Rhodes in the parking lot. Jake Hager hit him with a low blow, then slammed a limo door on his hand.
Cody ran to the back to make the save, but the damage was done. Jericho, wearing a purple jacket with pumpkins on it, and no shirt, lit a cigar. He said Cody might want to take Dustin to the hospital. Jericho then cheerfully wished us a Happy Halloween, and got into a limo with his cronies.
**********
There was a special video game-themed video package for Omega before the match. It used images of both Kota Ibushi and the NJPW Lion Mark. Interesting.
KENNY OMEGA & THE YOUNG BUCKS DEFEATED KIP SABIAN, JACK EVANS & ANGELICO
The Elite came out dressed as video game characters. Sabian and The Hybrid 2 attacked at the opening bell, sending the Bucks to the floor. Omega made a comeback with a basement dropkick and a double Kotaro Krusher on Evans and Angelico.
Evans was just on fire tonight. He hit a Sasuke Special and a springboard foot stomp. Sabian cut Omega off. The Bucks recovered and Matt tagged in, but he was also cut off. He tried for a hot tag, but the heels cut the ring in half and isolated him in their corner, using quick tags as they worked him over.
After a commercial, the Bucks were running wild. They hit a tandem moonsault/springboard splash on Sabian for a two count. Omega and Jack Evans got hot tags. Omega hit snap dragon suplexes on Sabian, Evans and Angelico.
Omega missed a V-Trigger attempt on Evans. The match broke down and everyone hit a crazy move. Evans hit a springboard moonsault off Matt’s back to Nick on the floor. Omega hit a V-Trigger on Angelico. Sabian tried a tope con giro, but all three Elite caught him, then hit a powerbomb on the apron.
The Elite hit tandem superkicks on Evans. Omega hit a V-Trigger, then hit Evans with a One-Winged Angel for the pin. This was a great match.
The Bucks were celebrating with two fans in Rick and Morty masks at ringside. The fans unmasked to reveal Santana and Ortiz. They pulled the Bucks over the barricade, then attacked. Omega made the save, and Santana and Ortiz ran for cover.
**********
Peter Avalon and Leva Bates came to the ring doing their librarian shtick. Avalon heeled on West Virginia. Jon Moxley entered through the crowd. He hit Avalon with a Paradigm Shift.
Moxley cut a promo. He said he’s the baddest and sickest son of a bitch in this game. He promised violence the likes of which wrestling hasn’t seen in decades at Full Gear.
He said that because AEW says he’s unsanctionable, Kenny Omega’s blood will be on their hands. Moxley said he’s been dealing with suits, teachers, cops, and all kinds of people insulting him his whole life.
He said that AEW can shove their win-loss records up their ass, and that anyone who doesn’t like that he marches to the beat of his own drum can kiss his ass and stay out of his way.
As far as the content of this promo, I thought it was average. The intensity with which it was delivered, though, was something you just don’t see anywhere else in wrestling.
**********
AEW WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT FINAL: SCU DEFEATED THE LUCHA BROS.
Kazarian and Pentagon started out as the legal men. They traded strikes. Sky and Fenix jumped in and all four brawled. The Lucha Bros. took over with tandem offense. They sent Sky rolling outside after a 619 into a backstabber.
Pentagon hit a Michinoku Driver on Kazarian for a near fall. Fenix walked along the top rope and kicked Kazarian. Sky hit a rana on the floor, then used a monkey flip to send Kazarian into both Lucha Bros., and Kazarian hit a double lariat. Fenix hit Kazarian with a springboard arm drag.
Pentagon hit a superkick on Sky on the floor. Pentagon held Kazarian on the floor, then Fenix hit a slingshot legdrop from the ring to the floor. During a commercial break, the Lucha Bros. worked over Kazarian in their corner.
Back from break, Fenix hit Kazarian with a dropkick for a near fall. Kazarian made his own comeback and hit Fenix with an Angel’s Wings, then made a hot tag to Sky.
Sky sent Pentagon outside with a headscissors, then hit a tope con giro. Kazarian tried a hurricanrana off the top rope to the apron on Fenix, but didn’t get all of it, and he landed hard on the back of his neck on the apron.
Sky and Kazarian hit a tandem DDT on Fenix. Pentagon hit a destroyer on Kazarian. Fenix hit a pop-up cutter on Sky for a near fall. Pentagon powerbombed Kazarian through a table on the floor.
Fenix hit a splash off Pentagon’s shoulders onto Sky for a two count. Pentagon grabbed Sky and set him up for the package piledriver/double stomp combo. Kazarian jumped in and cut off Fenix as he jumped for the stomp, and Sky pulled Pentagon into an inside cradle to win the titles.
The finish was almost flat after seeing fifteen minutes of big move after big move, but this was a fantastic match. Pentagon and Fenix are on another level right now, and it feels like they should be the champs.
Sky and Kazarian celebrated with the titles as the show closed.
With AAA revealing the card for Triplemania XXVII at a press conference today, we now know who former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez will be facing in his professional wrestling debut.
Psycho Clown, Cody Rhodes & Velasquez will take on El Texano Jr., Taurus and a mystery partner. Velasquez appeared at a press conference for AAA in March, with it being announced that he would be making his debut at Triplemania.
Triplemania will also feature a rematch from AEW’s Fyter Fest event. The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) will again team with Laredo Kid against The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) & Kenny Omega.

After multiple angles were shot to set up the match, The Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros is finally official for AEW Double or Nothing.
The Young Bucks vs. Pentagon Jr. & Fenix was confirmed for Double or Nothing at the end of this week’s episode of Being the Elite. The announcement comes after an angle where The Young Bucks showed up at an AAW show over the weekend, cost Pentagon & Fenix the AAW Tag Team, titles, and issued the challenge for Double or Nothing.
That was the follow up to Pentagon and Fenix attacking The Young Bucks at this month’s ticket announcement party. The storyline for their match has been built around both teams thinking they’re the best in the world.
The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada is hosting Double or Nothing on Saturday, May 25. Here’s the updated card:
Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho
The Young Bucks vs. The Lucha Bros
Hangman Page vs. PAC
Britt Baker vs. Nyla Rose vs. Kylie Rae
SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky) vs. Cima and two partners from Oriental Wrestling Entertainment
Over Budget Battle Royale (Sonny Kiss, Kip Sabian, and Brandon Cutler confirmed thus far)
The build to Double or Nothing was furthered with an angle at Saturday night’s AAW show in Chicago, Illinois.
As The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) were defending their AAW Tag Team titles against LAX (Santana & Ortiz) and AR Fox & Myron Reed, The Young Bucks attacked Pentagon and Fenix while the referee was down. They laid out Pentagon and Fenix with superkicks, Matt Jackson gave Pentagon a package piledriver, and they hit the Meltzer Driver on Fenix.
LAX hit their Street Sweeper finisher on Pentagon to become AAW Tag Team Champions.
The Young Bucks then came back into the ring and got on the microphone. They challenged Pentagon & Fenix to a match at AEW Double or Nothing, and Fenix replied that the best answer is what the people say. Fenix said the people want to watch The Young Bucks vs. the best tag team on the planet — The Lucha Bros.
The angle ended with The Young Bucks superkicking Pentagon and Fenix again. Matt Jackson said they know Pentagon and Fenix’s schedule, and The Young Bucks will see them around.
The Young Bucks’ appearance at AAW was the follow up to The Lucha Bros attacking them at the Double or Nothing ticket announcement party earlier this month. Double or Nothing is taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, May 25.
Video of the Young Bucks-Lucha Bros angle from AAW is available to watch below:
