AEW World title match, Jon Moxley vs. Kyle O’Reilly added to next AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A match for the AEW World title and a new title eliminator match is set for Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite & Collision three-hour special.

During Saturday’s AEW Collision, it was confirmed that Speedball Mike Bailey would challenge the winner between Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara. Allin emerged victorious, hitting the coffin drop for the win. As a result, he will add yet another challenging match to his grueling schedule just days before he is set to face MJF at Double or Nothing next weekend.

It was also announced on Collision that Jon Moxley will face Kyle O’Reilly in a title eliminator match where if O’Reilly wins, he will earn a future shot at Moxley’s Continental title. The show opened with Moxley cutting a promo hyping the the match, saying he won’t make excuses about losing twice to O’Reilly before, but he was not the same Jon Moxley he was six months ago. He warned O’Reilly that he better be prepared for a Moxley he’s never faced before.

O’Reilly later cut a promo promising to beat Moxley on Wednesday and take his Continental title.

Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong of the Conglomeration will also be in action on Wednesday, taking on FTR for the AEW Tag Team titles. Meanwhile, the match between Mark Briscoe and Tommaso Ciampa will now be an Anything Goes match. The two were seen brawling on Saturday and ended up in the ring. Mark went for the Jay Driller on top of a chair but Ciampa countered with a low blow. Cassidy and O’Reilly eventually came down for the save, with Briscoe getting on the mic and establishing the new stipulation for Wednesday.

Elsewhere, Will Ospreay will take on Kaysuyori Shibata, Divine Dominion will continue their 5-minute Women’s Tag team title eliminator series, and an eight-woman tag team match will take place where Triangle of Madness and Athena will team to take on Mina Shirakawa, Thunder Rosa, and the Brawling Birds.

Swerve Strickland will also appear for the first time on Dynamite in months, having returned at Supercard of Honor on Friday after taking out Bandido with a cop killer on a chair.

AEW Dynamite notes: Future World Tag Team challengers made, new match for next week

Posted on by Josh Nason

Two members of The Conglomeration have earned a shot at the AEW World Tag Team titles after the events of Wednesday’s Dynamite.

In a Double Jeopardy bout, AEW Trios Champion Orange Cassidy defeated AEW World Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood to earn the opportunity. If Harwood won, he, Cash Wheeler and Tommaso Ciampa would have earned a Trios title shot.

The date and who will be involved from The Conglomeration side have yet to be announced. While FTR are the reigning champions, they are next set to defend against Adam Copeland and Christian Cage in an I Quit street fight at this month’s Double or Nothing where a Copeland and Cage loss mean they are done as a team forever.

**********

In a match made for next Wednesday’s Dynamite from Asheville, North Carolina, it will be another ten-man tag team match.

The aforementioned FTR team with Ciampa, David Finlay and Clark Connors of The Dogs against The Young Bucks, Cage, Copeland, and Cassidy.

It joins the AEW World title match that will see Kazuchika Okada get a shot against the winner of reigning champion Darby Allin vs. PAC taking place this Saturday.

  • AEW World Champion Darby Allin or PAC defends against Kazuchika Okada
  • FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay & Clark Connors vs. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) Christian Cage, Adam Copeland & Orange Cassidy

The Conglomeration vs. The Dogs added to AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The Conglomeration will meet The Dogs this Wednesday.

After Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong defeated Jay Lethal and Lee Johnson on AEW Collision Slam Dunk Sunday, Roderick Strong cut a promo officially declaring himself as a member of the Conglomeration. Before they could celebrate, however, David Finlay and Clark Connors appeared on the video screen and challenged them for “next week.” It was later confirmed the two teams would wrestle on this Wednesday’s Dynamite.

For months, Roderick Strong had formed a loose alliance with The Conglomeration while repeatedly telling members he wasn’t part of the group. He seemed to cement that when he walked away from Cassidy and no-showed a scheduled tag match. Strong returned during a recent episode of Dynamite and teased joining The Dogs before attacking them, aligning himself with the Conglomeration once again.

AEW Dynamite (March 25)

  • Kenny Omega vs. Swerve Strickland – Omega gets Swerve’s number one contender status if he wins, Swerve gets Omega’s EVP title if he wins
  • AEW Women’s title: Thekla defends against Mina Shirakawa
  • The Dogs (David Finlay & Clark Connors) vs. The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong)
  • MJF returns
  • Darby Allin vs. Rush

Challenge issued for men’s AEW Blood & Guts match

Posted on by Josh Nason

As AEW head Tony Khan teased earlier in the month, a men’s Blood & Guts match is on the way in just two weeks time.

Following Jon Moxley and Kyle O’Reilly’s rematch on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite that ended in a double countout, both The Conglomeration and the Death Riders came out to get into a brawl that also included recently Moxley rival Darby Allin.

After things settled down, Mark Briscoe grabbed the microphone and said his group had an idea to settle the rivalry between the two factions. He then handed the mic to Orange Cassidy who eventually said “Blood & Guts.”

Earlier in the night, Allin and Cassidy defeated Yuta and Garcia in a tornado tag team match.

It appears it will be Allin, Briscoe, O’Reilly, Cassidy and Roderick Strong against Moxley, Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli and PAC in the double cage as part of the Wednesday, November 12 special edition of Dynamite.

It will be the third-such match for Moxley, Castagnoli and Yuta while it’s the second for Garcia, PAC, Briscoe and Allin.

The match will join the first-ever women’s Blood & Guts match the same night that is expected to feature Jamie Hayter, Queen Aminata and two others against the Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue & Thekla) and two others.

Ring of Honor TV live results: The Conglomeration in trios action

Posted on by Jeff Moss

The Conglomeration will be in trios action as part of tonight’s Thanksgiving night edition of Ring of Honor on HonorClub.

Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Rocky Romero will unite against the unusual team of the Grizzled Young Veterans & Pat Buck, the AEW vice president of talent development.

After losing to Jamie Hayter in Wednesday’s AEW International Women’s Cup qualifier, Queen Aminata will look to get back on the winning track against Christina Marie.

In a Pure rules match, Matt Taven will go to battle with former Pure Champion Josh Woods.

ROH Women’s World Champion Athena will be on hand with Lexy Nair ahead of Athena’s upcoming “world tour.”

The new team of LeeJ (Lee Johnson & EJ Nduka) will be in action against Anthony Gangone & Goose.

The Righteous match up with JD Drake & Beef while MxM Collection go heads-up against the Iron Savages.

The offensively gifted AR Fox will look to get in the win column against Dark Order’s John Silver.

**********

OK, let’s see here… Thursday? Check. Ring of Honor on HonorClub Episode 92? Check. Tag Teams, Tag Teams and more Tag Teams? Check Check Check!

Things kicked off with the ROH Champion, Chris Jericho addressing the audience. He had a tough time against Ishii on Dynamite, but he persevered! Jericho announced that he will be at Final Battle on December 20th in NYC, defending his title. He declared himself King of New York, and the show began!

LEEJ (EJ Nduka & Lee Johnson) defeated Anthony Gangone & Kubes

Our first tag match of the night featured the potentially unstoppable and definitely poorly named LEEJ. Nduka and Johnson have been teaming for a few months now and have yet to find a team to take them down. Gangone and Kubes were also a team. This was Gangone’s debut, but Kubes apparently hadf a match a few months back.

Johnson and Gangone started things off, but it wasn’t long before the looming figure of Nduka was involved. Kubes jumped in, but Nduka made very short work of him, tossing him to the outside. Johnson jumped in and he and Nduka hit a double team cutter on Gangone to get the quick win.

Queen Aminata defeated Christina Marie

Animata has been running around Dynamite, Collision and Rampage lately, which isn’t to say she’s taken her eyes off the ROH Women’s Prize(s). Her return here against Marie might just be the start of her trip towards the Women’s TV or World Titles. Marie for her part, is still looking of that elusive first win in ROH, having gone 0-4 in various singles and tag matches. 

Marie started things off throwing fists, but the agility and strength of Aminata was able to easily deflect them. Marie landed a dropkick, sending Aminata to the corner. She tried a bulldog, but Aminat athrew her off and hit her with a big hip in the corner.

Aminata dragged Marie to the middle of the ring and locked in a trap submission leaving Marie no alternative other than to tap out.

MxM Collection (Mansoor & Mason Madden) defeated Iron Savages (Beefcake Boulder & Bulk Bronson) (w/Jacked Jameson)

The MxM Collection is here and not just to sell shirts this time! They are taking on what could only be described as their polar opposites in the Iron Savages. The only question in this match would be who had the most pose downs and if the Savages would be open to touching tips! Jameson did his usual 1999 Scott Steiner impression on the mic as the Savages entered, but the big pop was reserved for Mansoor and Madden.

Mansoor kicked things off against Bronson and Mansoor’s speed kept him out of the clutches of the bigger man. The even bigger man, Boulder, tagged in next threatening to “Bite [Mansoor’s] tip off” which was all kinds of gross. That brought Madden in to match up against the big man. Madden knocked him out of the ring, allowing the MxM Collection to pose.

Jameson got involved, catching Mansoor’s foot and giving Bronson an opening to isolate the smaller man in the corner. Boulder tried to get Mansoor up for a big slam, but he was able to wriggle free and try for a hot tag, but Boulder dragged him back to the middle of the ring. He went for a second rope moonsault, but it was speculated he pulled his groin dancing.

Mansoor finally got the hot tag to Madden and he cleaned house, but the Savages caught him and tried to send him to (sigh) Titty City. MxM reversed it though and Madden hit a big choke slam. MxM hit a massive Centerfold, and got the pin on Boulder.

Matt Taven defeated Josh Woods (w/Ariya Daivari & Mark Sterling)

The ROH PURE Championship is the only ROH title that’s eluded Taven in his career. His win in a Pure Rules match over Aaron Solo showed that he can hang in that division and caught the attention of current Pure Champion, Lee Moriarty. A win over former Pure Champion Woods would definitely put Taven closer to a shot at the title. 

With all that said, for those just joining us, a Pure Rules Match grants each participant one warning for a closed fist and three rope breaks. If there isn’t a winner by pinfall or submission by the time limit, a panel of judges will award the win based on points. Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels and Nigel McGuinness would serve as judges.

Woods and Taven were pretty evenly matched in terms of size and speed, but Woods’ technical background definitely gave him a leg up. Speaking of which, Taven used his first rope break at 0:47, putting his foot on the bottom rope.

Taven has been doing his homework though and was able to match Woods, hold for hold. Woods wrenched Taven’s arm on the top rope and made it his primary target. Woods worked over Taven’s arm again and again, using the ropes and whatever else he could to render it useless. Woods landed a huge knee to the face that echoed throughout the venue.

Taven fought back with some foot-based offense, but Woods caught him and tried to lock in an Armbar. The tricky Taven though manged to push Woods onto his back and pick up a quick three count. That brought out current ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty who jawed at Taven from the ramp.

-ROH Women’s World Champion Athena joined us with Lexy Nair for an Emergency MEM to discuss her “World Tour.” Athena announced that the World Tour would begin at WrestleDynasty with a 4-way qualifier match (even though she doesn’t think she should have to qualify) for the Women’s International Tournament.

The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) defeated BEEF & JD Drake

The 3rd tag match of the night began with the The Righteous snapping their way to the ring. Dutch and Vincent have been locked in a blood feud with the current ROH Tag Champions, the (sigh) Sons of Texas, aka Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara. BEEF and JD Drake have been reluctant partners after BEEF’s cousin and Drake’s tag partner Anthony Henry had to take some injury time off.  The Righteous are anything but an orthodox tag team, and BEEF and Drake seem to be able to find creative ways to win. If the match isn’t interrupted, it should be a good one! 

Dutch started things off against BEEF while Vincent battled Drake on the outside. Then the match started. BEEF was isolated in the Righteous’ corner and Dutch and Vincent double teamed him with absolutely no regard of who was legal. It ended up being Vincent, who hammered BEEF in the center of the ring.

Vincent distracted the Ref while Drake choked BEEF with his Official Dusty Rhodes Cowbell & Rope. Drake paced furiously on the outside of the ring while BEEF took a beating. A hot tag was finally made to Drake who picked up and slammed Dutch. Dutch responded with a side slam and he and Vincent hit Orange Sunshine. Dutch then landed a big Dusty Rhodes-style elbow and got the pin.

After the match, the Righteous taunted Rhodes and Guevara. They appeared at the top of the ramp, Rhodes looking to fight, jumping in the ring with a chair. The Righteous split as the teams yapped at each other.

AR Fox defeated John Silver (w/Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno)

Fox has been getting a lot of opportunities lately, taking on Brian Cage, Nick Wayne and Riccochet just to name a few. He’s still sitting at a 4-13 record in 2024 though, so a win here would be good. Silver spends most of his time with his pals Reynolds and Uno in the Dark Order, playing DnD or designing cool jackets or whatever it is they do in their spare time. In singles matches, Silver is 2-1 this year, so I guess he’s on a roll? Kind of?

Fox had about 10 inches of height on Silver, but Silver makes up for his height in girth and definitely won the strength battle off the top. Fox had the speed though and after sending Silver to the outside nailed him with a big dive over the top rope.

Back in the ring, Silver powered into a massive suplex after Uno was caught trying to interfere on the outside. Fox battled back and hit a big swanton on Silver from the top rope. Silver and Fox threw forearms and traded big kicks until SiFox lver hit a Brainbuster for a two-count.

Fox surprised Silver with a big cutter and managed to scramble to the top rope to hit a 450 and get the win.

-Next, the first official match for Final Battle 2024 was announced: ROH Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet will defend her title against Leyla Hirsch!

ROH Classic Match: Match Without Honor – Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston (ROH Final Battle 2009)

As you’d expect, this was one hell of a brawl. Hero and Kingston tore each other up in NYC at the Manhattan Center. Chains were the weapons of choice for most of the match. I’ll be honest, I often forget that Hero is very good at what he does, and this was him in his prime. Kingston is, as a certain Texan used to say, one tough SOB. I’m looking forward to when the Mad King returns from injury in AEW.

Six Man Tag Team Match: The Conglomeration (Kyle O’Reilly, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero) defeated Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) & Pat Buck

The Main Event of the evening switched up the Tag format but adding more people! this 6-man match was a fun way to bring in some big name ROH Talent in O’Reilly, Briscoe and Romero AKA The Conglomeration. The Veterans were part of a 4-team tag match a few weeks ago that was ultimately won by The Undisputed Kingdom. Pat Buck, who sadly is not the NFL play-by-play guy, hasn’t been seen in ROH since around this time last year when he lost to then Pure Champion Josh Woods.

O’Reilly started things off against Gibson, both men highly decorated in their respective fields. This match kinda had it all. Brawlers, technicians, speed and lots of high-impact moves and sequences. Briscoe knocked Drake from post to post before Romero tagged in and kept Drake off his feet with a headscissor takedown.

Gibson and Drake are the current NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team title holders, so they had a cohesiveness that in spite of the Conglomeration’s closeness, kept them in control. Buck for his part was there, but barely made a difference, spending most of the match on the ring apron waiting for a tag.

Buck finally made it into the match, only to run up against Briscoe who made short work of him. Drake a Gibson jumped in to double team Briscoe and a miscommunication with Buck caused them to get knocked to the outside. Reilly (who apparently was the legal man) put an arm bar on Buck (who apparently was also legal) causing Buck to tap out almost instantly.

Trios title match added to AEW Collision

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A Trios title match has been added to Saturday’s Collision.

It was announced on AEW Dynamite that Wheeler Yuta, PAC, and Claudio Castagnoli will defend the Trios titles against Conglomeration members Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii on Saturday.

On Dynamite, Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin lost to Claudio Castagnoli and PAC after the rest of the newly-named Death Riders interfered, laying waste to both Cassidy and Allin. After Yuta struck Cassidy with the busiku knee, The Conglomeration came out to make the save. That trio would go on to defeat the Learning Tree in a Fight Without Honor match, with Ishii pinning new ROH World Champion Chris Jericho.

Already announced for Saturday is Nick Wayne vs. AR Fox and The Outrunners vs. Top Flight in the first AEW Full Gear 4-Way Contender’s Series.

Here is the updated lineup for next week’s Collision:

  • AEW Trios Championship: PAC, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta defend against The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii)
  • Nick Wayne vs. AR Fox
  • AEW Full Gear 4-Way Contender’s Series: The Outrunners vs. Top Flight

Elite vs. Conglomeration trios match added to AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A new match announcement has been made for this week’s WrestleDream fallout edition of AEW Dynamite.

The Elite (Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks) will team up against The Conglomeration (Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy & Rocky Romero) in trios action this Wednesday night. The match will continue the build to a likely AEW Continental Championship match between Okada and O’Reilly.

During the WrestleDream pre-show, there was an angle where O’Reilly interrupted a backstage interview with Okada. O’Reilly — who said he has nothing but respect for Okada — wanted to challenge him for the Continental title. Okada turned down the challenge and called O’Reilly a “bitch,” which led to a brawl between the two.

Okada and O’Reilly were ejected from the arena at WrestleDream as part of the angle. Later in the night, The Young Bucks retained their AEW Tag Team titles against Private Party.

The SAP Center in San Jose, California is the venue for this week’s Dynamite. Here’s everything that’s been announced for the show so far:

AEW Dynamite (Wednesday, October 16) —

  • New AEW World Champion Jon Moxley appears
  • Mercedes Mone vs. Queen Aminata
  • Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks vs. Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy & Rocky Romero
  • Jay White vs. Christian Cage
  • Shelton Benjamin vs. Lio Rush
  • Adam Cole appears

AEW Rampage live results: The Conglomeration vs. Undisputed Kingdom

Posted on by Corey Michaels

Five matches are set for tonight’s AEW Rampage from Spokane, Washington, including faction warfare between two of AEW’s key stables.

The Conglomeration’s Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly will team up against The Undisputed Kingdom’s Matt Taven & Mike Bennett in this week’s featured contest. The Conglomeration has been tied up in a feud with The Learning Tree as Mark Briscoe defends his ROH World title against Chris Jericho at Saturday’s WrestleDream.

That feud will continue on the show as Bryan Keith of The Learning Tree goes one-on-one with Rocky Romero after a staredown on Wednesday.

Ahead of his two-of-three falls match with Hologram Saturday, The Beast Mortos of the rebooted LFI will take on The Butcher.

Kris Statlander, who has got TBS Champion Mercedes Mone’s attention, and Lance Archer, now under the leadership of Don Callis, will each be in action against enhancement talent.

The show will be the final stop before Saturday’s pay-per-view.

**********

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly) defeated The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)

Cassidy and Bennett traded offense until Cassidy’s taunting quickly enraged Bennet. Tagging himself in, Taven hoped to use the Undisputed Kingdom’s combined efforts to stop Cassidy, but that only resulted in a double clothesline to Bennett. O’Reilly tagged himself in so Cassidy could recuperate. Bennet & Taven teamed up on O’Reilly but he outsmarted them.

Cassidy attempted a double-crossbody, which was caught mid-air. O’Reilly saved him and applied a leg and arm hold on Bennett (to which Cassidy politely offered a dainty kick). The pair later kicked Bennett into the turnbuckle, with Cassidy hoping for a pin, broken by the 2-count. After clotheslining each other, Cassidy and Bennett made their tags. Taven had a hot tag, the freshest man in the match. His momentum was thwarted by a Stun-Dog Millionaire and a Rolling Elbow from Cassidy and O’Reilly respectively. Bennett tried a Rolling Elbow of his own and chopped the chest of O’Reilly.

A brawl ensued, with everyone trading their signature strikes and maneuvers. O’Reilly maintained a Guillotine Choke on Bennett while Cassidy fended off Taven. Bennett tapped out, with O’Reilly and Cassidy being the victors.

I don’t typically give The Conglomeration and The Undisputed Kingdom enough credit, but they both put in an excellent opening performance. Poor Bennett though, he got the brunt of the offense. Cassidy seems to be accepting his Conglomeration more, and I’m finally beginning to enjoy them as a team.

– Mercedes Mone and Kamille backstage segment, Mone announced Kamille would be present for Kris Statlander’s match

– The Acclaimed made their entrance but were attacked by MxM Collection, Mansoor declared MxM Collection to have a surprise in their corner and touched tips

– Kris Statlander promo vignette, rechristened herself as a born-again

– Rocky Romero and The Conglomeration promo

Kris Statlander defeated Amira

Starting the match with a vertical suplex powerslam, Statlander swiftly dispatched Amira with a Friday Night Fever and got the 3-count within mere minutes after the bell.

There’s nothing insightful to add other than that Statlander makes just as good a squash wrestler as she is a plunder match and brawler.

– Chris Jericho promo

The Beast Mortos defeated The Butcher

Roderick Strong joined the commentary booth as Mortos’s strength and agility saw him gain the upper hand against Butcher. With a flurry of strikes and dodges, Mortos followed up with a snap-mare, but Butcher managed to swing some momentum his way. Charging after Butcher, Mortos accidentally swung himself over the top rope and spilled to the outside. Slamming Mortos onto the steel steps and fighting dirty, Butcher confidently picked at Mortos in the ring.

The two brutes charged at each other, finally knocking the other down. Mortos aimed for a top rope dive on Butcher, but he evaded, attempting a Jackhammer which resulted a 2-count. Mortos found that another top rope move would be a benefit after he performed a flying headbutt on a horizontal-prone Butcher for the win.

A nice hoss match. Thankfully this wasn’t some sort of squash that would typically make Butcher look like a complete geek. He put on a great performance against Mortos and I’d love to see more between them.

– Harley Cameron promo

“The Murderhawk” Lance Archer defeated Matt Brannigan

Brannigan flexed confidently to Archer, who bravely pushed him to a nearby corner. Imploring Brannigan to hit him back, Archer delivered a lariat. Throwing himself at Brannigan back in the corner three times, Archer flipped him over to another corner in a blink-and-miss-it moment.

Clutching Brannigan from the top rope, Archer courageously sent his opponent to the mat with a Blackout and got the 3-count pin.

Yet another good squash match. Hopefully, the newly active Archer will find more dynamic and heart-stopping matches soon.

– Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Los Faccion Ingobernables promo

Bryan Keith defeated Rocky Romero

An irate Romero overwhelmed Keith, leaving him no room to find an opening. Romero, seeking a Hurricanrana on the steps, was countered by Keith with an Exploder on the floor outside the ring. Using referee Aubrey Edwards as a shield, Keith applied a hold which Romero spiritedly pushed against. Reinvigorated through adrenaline, Romero’s goals were dashed by a knee after an unsuccessful double-underhook for a 2-count.

Battling on the top rope, Romero sent himself and Keith flying onto the mat, but Keith escaped to the outside. Dragging him back in, Romero became victim to a blindsided attack by Big Bill. Keith finished the match with a Diamond Dust.

– Post-match, The Conglomeration entered the ring to fend off Bryan Keith and Big Bill as the show went off the air.

Romero made for an enthralling foil to Keith’s underhanded tactics that kept me hooked. I knew he’d lose, but that’s a testament to his tenured experience and Keith’s unique writing style—a small man fighting like a big man. Funny how Big Bill and Bryan Keith’s work outside of Chris Jericho’s 2024 presence make for an exciting experience.

TNT Champion Jack Perry vs. Christopher Daniels set for AEW Collision

Posted on by Josh Nason

Image: AEW

The full card has been rounded out for Saturday’s AEW Collision as the road to this month’s Grand Slam in Queens, New York, continues.

On Friday’s edition of AEW Rampage, authority figure Christopher Daniels called out TNT Champion Jack Perry, saying he and Perry haven’t seen eye-to-eye but Daniels didn’t want the champion to forget he was still a wrestler. He then said he wanted to answer Perry’s open challenge for the title.

A trio of trios matches are on tap, headed up by The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe & Kyle O’Reilly) and Hologram) taking on the unorthodox team of The Beast Mortos and Premier Athletes, represented by Tony Nese & Ari Daivari.

After the match was agreed to recently, the Bang Bang Gang will face the Cage of Agony.

After being beat up by the new Jon Moxley-led faction on Wednesday, Private Party and Komander will be in action.

After the shocking events of All Out where the Blackpool Combat Club turned on Bryan Danielson as Wheeler Yuta (seen above) was held back by PAC, Yuta will return to singles action for the first time since then as he battles Anthony Henry.

After unsuccessfully challenging AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May in a title eliminator Wednesday, Queen Aminata will look to get back on track against Robyn Renegade.

The new additions join the previously announced FTR vs. Grizzled Young Veterans, and Yuka Sakazaki vs. Serena Deeb matches.

Here’s the current lineup set for TV:

  • FTR vs. Grizzled Young Veterans
  • TNT Champion Jack Perry defends against Christopher Daniels
  • The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe & Kyle O’Reilly) and Hologram vs. The Beast Mortos and Premier Athletes (Tony Nese & Ari Daivari)
  • Wheeler Yuta vs. Anthony Henry
  • Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) & Komander in action
  • Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn) vs. Cage of Agony (Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona)
  • Yuka Sakazaki vs. Serena Deeb
  • Queen Aminata vs. Robyn Renegade

AEW Rampage live results: The Conglomeration vs. Dark Order

Posted on by Joseph Collins

A trios match between The Conglomeration and Dark Order headlines tonight’s AEW Rampage.

Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe & Kyle O’Reilly will battle Alex Reynolds, John Silver & Evil Uno. The match is a tune-up for Cassidy who faces Chris Jericho on this Wednesday’s Dynamite.

Konosuke Takeshita of The Don Callis Family will face Action Andretti one-on-one. Takeshita will team with AEW International Champion Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher against AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada and AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks this Wednesday, and has made his next target clear: Okada.

Saraya & Harley Cameron will take on former NWA Women’s Tag Team Champions The Hex (Allysin Kay & Marti Belle) in tag team action.

Two other matches round out the card as Roderick Strong battles Beef and Kamille takes on Robyn Renegade.

Tonight’s Rampage was taped Wednesday night, September 11 in Lexington, Kentucky at Rupp Arena. Spoilers from the show are available here.

**********

Taped in Lexington, Kentucky. 

Tony Schiavone, Excalibur and Matt Menard were on commentary. 

Today is Friday the 13th. Are they bringing Abadon out of the mothballs for this one? 

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe & Kyle O’Reilly) defeated The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver) (10:07)

Okay, I guess The Dark Order on Friday the 13th works. 

The Conglomeration came out in new matching tees which I’m sure are available on the ShowAEW website. Orange Cassidy was triple-teamed by the Dark Order, but got a near fall on Silver for two. Lots of comedy in the opening minutes, with Silver missing chops on Cassidy and O’Reilly and hitting his teammates instead. Briscoe and Uno had an awkward exchange, then Briscoe floored Reynolds with a clothesline going into a split screen break.

O’Reilly got the hot tag after the split-screen break and destroyed Reynolds with kicks. Cassidy joined in and helped ouble team Reynolds. Silver prevented an Orange Punch. Uno hit O’Reily with a boot and a DDT. Silver and Reynolds hit their combo series for a near fall on Cassidy. Cassidy escaped a pendulum bomb attempt from the Dark Order, and took down Uno and SIlver with a hurricanrana. 

Brisco hit a plancha on Silver, then used a chair to hit a springboard plancha on Reynolds and Uno on the other side of the ring. Back in the ring, Cassidy Reynolds with an Orange Punch, and Briscoe hit the Jay Driller for the pinfall. Inoffensive but uninspired.

– In the back, Lexi Nair conducted an interview with The Undisputed Era and ROH Tag Team Champions Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara. Matt Taven challenged the champs to a fight without honor, but Dustin upped the ante and made it a Bunkhouse Match for next Saturday on Collision. 

Kamille defeated Robyn Renegade (3:16)

This was a total squash. Kamille dumped Renegade with a fisherman’s suplex out of a bearhug. Renegade got a one count after a top rope bodyblock. Kamille came back with a vertical powerslam, then hit a dominator (which she has renamed “The Truth”)  for the pinfall.

– Christopher Daniels (in a snazzy tie) accepted Jack Perry’s open challenge for the TNT title at tomorrow night’s Collision. 

Roderick Strong defeated Beef (6:53)

Beef is a big, sweaty guy, who is the second cousin (by marriage) of Anthony Henry. The crowd chanted “Beef!” whenever Beef hit a forearm. Beef hit Strong with a dropkick heading into the commercial break. 

After a long commercial break, we return to Beef pummeling Strong and the crowd firmly behind Beef. Beef hit a bulldog for two. Beef went to the top, but Strong caught him with a kick and perplexed him off the top for a near fall. Huge pop for Beef kicking out. Beef caught Strong with an avalanche, then went to the floor to save Henry from a beating from Taven and Bennett. Beef got back in the ring and ran right into a knee from Strong, and Strong got the pinfall.  

– The Righteous, Vincent and Dutch, cut a promo. They’re looking for the House of Black. 

Saraya & Harley Cameron defeated Marti Belle & Allysin Kay (3:36)

Saraya and Cameron worked over the less-experienced Belle. The fight went to the floor, where Saraya whipped Belle into the ring barricades. Belle finally got the tag to Kay, who mounted a brief comeback. Cameron caught Kay with the Soul Food and a flying knee, but Saraya had gotten the blind tag so Cameron couldn’t get the pinfall. Saraya then hit the Nightcap on Kay for the pinfall. 

After the match, Jamie Hayer ran in (fresh from the 70s, based on her outfit) and floored Cameron with a forearm. Saraya ran out through the crowd.

Konosuke Takeshita (w/ Don Callis)  defeated Action Andretti (w/ Leila Gray and Lio Rush) (11:52) 

Top Flight and Lio Rush came out with Andretti, and it looks like they’ve dumped that goofy airline pilot’s gear. 

Andretti started out strong against Takeshita, but the fight went to the floor and Takeshita whipped him into the steel steps. Back in the ring, Takeshita hit a top rope superplex for a near fall. 

Takeshita dominated through the split-screen break. Andretti hit a handspring back elbow for a near fall. Andretti hit a rolling senton on Takeshita, who was lying on the floor. Andretti hit a tope con hilo, then tossed Takeshita in the ring for a springboard 450 that missed. Takeshita hit a German suplex and a lariat for a near fall. 

Andretti countered a powerbomb with a rana for a near fall. Takeshita and Andretti stayed one step ahead of each other in a neat exchange that finally ended with Andretti missing a standing shooting star press. Andretti hit a shotgun dropkick out of the corner that Takeshita completely no sold. Takeshita hit a blue thunder bomb for a near fall. (Really, that should have been the finish –or lead directly to the finish– after the convincing no-sell from Takeshita). Andretti came back with a top rope rana. Andretti did a springboard right into a forearm from Takeshita. Running knee and a spinning falcon arrow finished off Andretti and Takeshita got the pinfall. (The spinning falcon arrow may be called the “Raging Fire,” that’s what Excalibur said when Takeshita hit the move, but he might have just been metaphorical) 

Announced for Dynamite Wednesday: The Young Bucks & Kazuchika Okada v. Kyle Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita & Will Ospreay.

AEW Rampage live results: The Conglomeration vs. Undisputed Kingdom

Posted on by Matt Boone

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii & Kyle O’Reilly) will team up to battle The Undisputed Kingdom’s Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. Cassidy and O’Reilly have had their issues with all the Kingdom members with Ishii recently entering the fray to lend the babyfaces a hand.

Another NJPW star — Minoru Suzuki — will return to the rings of AEW against The Butcher. Suzuki will challenge Chris Jericho for the FTW title this Wednesday.

Jericho will be on the show teaming up with Big Bill against The Outrunners.

Former TBS Champion Kris Statlander will be in action for the first time since attacking Willow Nightingale during her Owen Hart tournament final match.

**********
The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii & Kyle O’Reilly) defeated The Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)

Orange Cassidy makes his way out with Tomohiro Ishii and Kyle O’Reilly. The Conglomeration trio settle inside the squared circle, where their opponents, The Undisputed Kingdom trio of Roderick Strong, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett are waiting for them.

Strong and O’Reilly kick things off for their respective teams in this trios opener. The two lock up and jockey for position. O’Reilly goes behind Strong and takes his back standing. Strong ends up on the mat on his back. O’Reilly looks for a submission but Strong defends and gets back up.

Cassidy and Taven tag in for their respective teams and the pace quickly picks up. Cassidy comes off the ropes with a ton of speed and runs over Taven before tagging in Ishii. The fans in the building chant the name of the Japanese legend as he goes to work on all three members of The Undisputed Kingdom.

Bennett and Taven attack Ishii from behind. They look for a double suplex, but Ishii defends it. O’Reilly and Cassidy join him in the ring and the three hit a suplex on Bennett and Taven at the same time. Ishii and Bennett are alone in the ring when the smoke clears.

Ishii goes to work on Bennett, bringing him into the corner of his team. O’Reilly and Cassidy come back in and the two hit some multi-person spots with Ishii for a big crowd reaction. The show then heads into a mid-match commercial break as the trios opener continues.

When the show returns from the break, Taven, Bennett and Strong hit multi-person spots on Ishii to shift the offensive momentum in their favor. Strong is left as the legal man with Ishii. He blasts him with loud chops in the corner that get funny reactions from the Japanese legend.

Fans try and rally behind Ishii, but to no avail, as The Undisputed Kingdom members utilize frequent tags and cut the ring in half, keeping him on their side of things. Ishii hits a German suplex on Taven, which buys him enough time to tag in O’Reilly.

O’Reilly goes to work on Taven as Cassidy hits a dive onto the other members of The Undisputed Kingdom on the floor. Cassidy hits a top-rope splash and pops up for a quick tope suicida to the floor. Ishii tags in and hits Chasing the Dragon for a two-count, after Bennett broke it up.

Cassidy hits Stun-Dog Millionaire on Bennett. Ishii follows up with a lariat. Taven hits a big splash off the top-rope for a super-close two-count on Ishii. Ishii and Strong trade shots back-and-forth. Ishii gets the better of things and stumbles back to tag in Cassidy.

We see Cassidy go for a dive through the ropes to the floor, but he is met by Bennett and Strong, who both slam him back-first into the ringside barricade. As The Undisputed Kingdom trio settle back into the offensive lead, the show heads into another mid-match commercial break.

After the show returns from the break, we see Ishii connect with a top-rope superplex on Taven. O’Reilly trades shots in the center of the ring. Cassidy hits a sunset flip off the top-rope but the pin attempt is broken up.

Cassidy hits a DDT counter off the ropes to Bennett. O’Reilly and Cassidy hit the high-low sweep and then Ishii and Strong each take the other out with a double clothesline. Taven goes for a roundhouse kick but spins right into an Orange Punch from Cassidy for the pinfall. Good opener to kick things off on this week’s show.

Once the match wraps up, Don Callis comes out and stands behind Cassidy in the ring. Cassidy turns and notices him and gets angry. He takes his arm pad off as he backs him into the ropes, but before anything can happen, Kyle Fletcher from The Don Callis Family attacks from behind.

ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe runs out to make the save, but ends up getting laid out by Roderick Strong. Strong takes Briscoe’s ROH World Championship and holds it high in the air as he poses over him with The Undisputed Kingdom as the commentators promote their title tilt coming up at ROH Death Before Dishonor 2024.

Saraya & Harley Cameron Backstage Interview

Backstage, Saraya and Harley Cameron are interviewed. Saraya talks about how they are trying to keep her off of the show at AEW ALL IN at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 25.

Harley says that would be like having Beverly Hills Cop without the Beverly Hills Cop. Great analogy, Harley. Saraya insists she will be on the show.

The Learning Tree (Chris Jericho & Big Bill) defeated The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd)

We hear a super enthusiastic “Hi guys!” from the longest “For The World” champion in the history of planet Earth. On that note, The Learning Tree duo of Chris Jericho and “The Redwood” Big Bill make their way down to the ring for advertised tag-team action.

Already in the ring are their opponents, The Outrunners team of Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd. Bill kicks things off for his team while Jericho hangs on the apron with his FTW title still around his waist. He pulls out a cell phone.

Jericho begins texting someone multiple times as Bill easily handles both members of The Outrunners by himself. Bill stomps away at one of The Outrunners in the corner while frantically laughing like a psycho. Truth tags in and lands a shot on Bill, which changes his happy-go-lucky persona quick, fast, and in-a-hurry.

“The Redwood” gets serious now as he charges from one corner of the ring to the other, splashing Magnum and Floyd. After Bill finishes things off with his chokeslam finisher, Jericho finally asks for the tag and comes in with his FTW title still around his waist for a foot-on-the-chest arrogant pin.

Minoru Suzuki defeated The Butcher

As Jericho sends a text boasting about teaching people something tonight, he and Bill and Bryan Keith head to the back, but are stopped when Minoru Suzuki makes his way out for the next match of the evening.

The Japanese legend settles inside the squared circle after intimidating Jericho briefly on the entrance ramp. The commentators promote Suzuki vs. Jericho for the FTW title for next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The show heads into another commercial break.

When the show returns, The Butcher is in the middle of finishing up his ring entrance. The bell sounds to get this one started. The Butcher and Suzuki stand in the middle of the ring and Butcher tells him he wants to trade shots to start things off.

They do and Butcher gets a little over confident. This leads in Suzuki going to work on him with flurries. Moments later, Butcher tries chopping Suzuki a few times, with one eliciting an audible laugh from Suzuki that pops the crowd.

Butcher says he’s going to break Suzuki’s back. He hits a big suplex and floats over for a pin attempt. After he kicks out, Suzuki chokes out Butcher and dumps him on his dome for the victory.

Mark Briscoe Reacts To Roderick Strong’s Attack

Backstage, the four members of The Conglomeration are standing by for a promo segment. As usual, ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe does the talking. He says today’s word of the day is “Miscombobulation.” O’Reilly asks for the country of origin, and Briscoe says America.

When asked to use it in a sentence, Briscoe says, “In the midst of my miscombobulation, Roderick Strong cracked me in the face with a knee and stood over me holding my ROH World title high in the air.” He tells him next week at ROH Death Before Dishonor, he’ll have something for him.

But before that, on AEW Collision tomorrow night, Roderick Strong will go one-on-one against Tomohiro Ishii. He vows that Ishii will show them how they do in The Conglomeration and then barks like a madman into the camera to wrap things up.

Kris Statlander (w/ Stokely Hathaway) defeated Syndi Winnell

Back inside the arena, the theme for Kris Statlander hits and out she comes accompanied by Stokely Hathaway for the next match of the evening. Already in the ring is her opponent, Syndi Winnell.

The bell gets things started and an overconfident Statlander is caught off guard by a ferocious onslaught and wild flurry of strikes from Winnell. This backs Statlander in the corner and Winnell unloads on her.

Schiavone jokes with Excalibur on commentary about how they are fortunate that Don Callis and Stokely Hathaway both came out tonight and they didn’t have to deal with either of them joining them at the desk.

Back inside the ring, Statlander takes over with ease and within seconds, hits her Stater-day Night Fever finisher for the pin fall victory. This is her 85th victory, according to Schiavone on commentary.

Stokely hits the ring to push the referee aside so he can raise Statlander’s hand. Statlander drops down and does push-ups while Stokely puts his foot on her back.

The Lucha Bros (Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes) defeated Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen)

It’s main event time!

After the women’s singles match wrapped up, the show went into another quick commercial break. Upon returning, the catchy theme song for The Lucha Bros hits and out comes the duo of Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix, accompanied by Alex Abrahantes.

The popular masked duo settle inside the squared circle to a big pop and then their music dies down. The red velvet rope is set up at the top of the entrance ramp and out comes their opponents for tonight’s main event, the Private Party team of Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy.

Fenix and Kassidy kick things off for their respective teams. Fenix establishes the initial offensive lead, but Kassidy hits Rob Van Dam’s old step-through roundhouse kick to shift the momentum into the favor of Private Party.

Quen tags in and takes over. He goes to bring Penta, now the legal man for The Lucha Bros, into the ring the hard way, but Penta blasts him with a kick that knocks him silly. Penta enters the ring and nearly beheads him with a follow-up kick that sends him to the floor.

Penta fires up for a dive to the floor, but comes off the ropes into a cross-body splash from Kassidy. Fenix hits a missile dropkick off the top-rope immediately after that. As Penta and Quen are nose-to-nose in the middle of the ring, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, The Lucha Bros go on an offensive rampage (pun intended), hitting many of their trademark high spots. Fenix walks the tight rope top-rope for a big punt kick, which sends Quen into Penta for a big sling blade.

They go for a double-team spot off the ropes in the corner, but it gets broken up. Prrivate Party hit an insane double-team spot that pops the crowd and shifts the offensive momentum back in their favor. Fenix sends Quen into the mat with authority for a two-count.

Penta and Fenix sandwich him in between a pair of stereo super kicks. They follow-up with the fear factor double stomp double-team finisher for the pinfall victory. Good main event.

After it wraps up,The Lucha Bros celebrate as Excalibur does a speed-read through the updated lineup for tomorrow night’s AEW Collision. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter/X.
