Matt and Nick Jackson vowed on behalf of the company to bring the world the very best tag team wrestling today. And as such, to prove they’re still the best, they’ll take on one of the best up-and-coming teams today. Who will prove they’re the best tonight in Boston and move on to the next round?

Boston is Jericho!
The Painmaker is back, with his new cohorts in tow! Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Ortiz, Santana and Jake Hager head to the ring, all seemingly very proud of themselves for their brutal and chaotic group debut on Dynamite’s premiere. The AEW World Champion takes a mic to introduce himself. “My name is Chris Jericho, and I am Le Champeon of AEW.” Dynamite took the world by storm, with the highest rated premiere in TNT history, all because of Jericho. Fans won’t argue with that. “Thank You, Jericho!” News flash: shut up and sit down. The end of the show had the five in the ring beating the crap out of The Elite. These five are next, they are now. Jericho’s four are confidants. Are they allied? Do they have a name? Yes, and yes. Jericho explains who they are and what they’re about.
First, Sammy Guevara. Just look at him. He’s like a Spanish god, he’s so sexy. A teenage heartthrob and a prodigy, athletic, acrobatic and amazing, and he’s on The List. Then the psychos, Santana and Ortiz. Fans know them from all over, but they’re nastier than ever, and were personally invited to AEW. They’re back alley, street fight brutes and Jericho likes it. They’re also on The List, #VivaLaRaza. Fans chant for “Eddie! Eddie!” Last but not least, the giant savage behind him. You may think you know him, but the real him is Jake Hager, a former world champion, and the “toughest, most terrifying, most crazy MMA fighter in the world today.” Fans chant “We The People!” for Hager, but Jericho wants them to know that chant sucks and it’s “dead and buried.” Fans actually seem to appreciate that. “It was a stupid idea from bad creative and that’s gone.” Fans really like that! But Jake Hager is undefeated, and that’s shoot. That makes Hager the toughest man in AEW, and all of pro-wrestling! He will challenge any fighter, wrestler, boxer, MMA guy, former MMA guy, street bum, you name it, Hager is ready.
These four confidants, these four close friends of Jericho, this is the inner circle. They are THE Inner Circle! And they’ll take control of AEW, no matter who thinks they’re in charge. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Bucks, Omega, or that “stupid son of a b*tch, Cody.” Speaking of Cody, Full Gear’s AEW World Championship match. Cody was entitled, Jericho doesn’t like him or Cody’s family. Jericho thought Dusty was a jerk. Fans don’t like that. Jericho doesn’t like Dustin, he’s a moron and he’ll lose tonight. Most importantly, at Full Gear, when Cody takes on La Champeon, you know what happens? “I’m going to beat the ever-loving SH*T out of you!” And then the Inner Circle will party in Baltimore with A Little Bit of the Bubbly! “You’re welcome.” This new fab five has begun their coup, will they rule all of All Elite?
AEW World Championship Opportunity Match: Darby Allin VS Jimmy Havoc!
Y2J is very confident he’ll make it to Full Gear as “La Champeon,” but he’ll have to get through one of these two mostly mental men first. These two are practically a past and future of each other, but who survives the present to put the title in their future?
The bell rings and fans cheer for both men. Darby offers a handshake, and Havoc figures why not. But then Havoc tries to cheap shot Darby, but Darby ducks to wrench, wring out and roll Havoc to La Magistrol! TWO, and Havoc likes it. But then he trips Darby to jackknife, TWO! Havoc spits at Darby but Darby ducks the kick to shove. Havoc blocks a hip toss, Darby blocks back, and then Darby springboards for a flying arm-drag! Havoc is reeling, but Darby runs in to back elbow. Darby fires up as he runs in again, but Havoc dodges. Darby boots and then leaps over to come back with a shotgun dropkick! Fans cheer as Havoc gets to the apron. Darby drags Havoc up, suplexes but Havoc resists. Havoc wrenches and BITES the fingers! The ref reprimands Havoc but Havoc shoulders in. Havoc then goes to suplex Darby out! Falcon Arrow to the floor! That was a little double-edged but Havoc shrugs it off.
Havoc fetches Darby to the ring and covers, TWO! Fans rally and duel as Havoc stalks Darby. Darby SLAPS Havoc but Havoc slaps himself! Darby punches but Havoc catches that arm, hammerlock to a stomp! Havoc drags Darby up to torture that arm, but Darby gets a ropebreak. Havoc lets go but kicks Darby to a corner. Havoc wrenches and whips corner to corner hard, and Darby staggers out. Havoc smothers Darby and bites the fingers again! The ref counts and Havoc lets up at 4. Fans boo but Havoc “apologizes” before bringing Darby up. Havoc goes after the arm in the ropes but lets up at 4. Darby elbows back, then goes up and over to roll and come back with another elbow! Darby runs in again, but into the hanging sleeper! Havoc lets go at 4 and then picks Darby up again! Sleeper Suplex sends Darby flying! Darby slumps out of the ring while Havoc revels in the heat. AEW goes to break while the ring count climbs on Darby.
AEW returns as Darby fights back with body shots and elbows. But Darby’s bad hand bothers him, Havoc hits a rolling elbow! Cover, TWO! Havoc grows frustrated but he drags Darby up to a fireman’s carry. Death Valley Driver into buckles! Cover, TWO! Havoc drags Darby up but Darby’s dead weight. Havoc underhooks and lifts, Tiger Driver!! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Darby survives and Havoc can’t believe it! Boston rallies, Darby crucifix covers outta nowhere! TWO and Havoc stomps Darby over and over! Havoc drags Darby up again, waistlock to wristlock, ring out, but Darby bites back! Darby then waistlocks, hops up, throwback stunner! Darby climbs, COFFIN DROP!! Just gets Havoc, Darby covers, Darby wins!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall; will face Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship
The undead underdog has a golden opportunity next week! Will Darby get the greatest win in his career against one of the greatest of all time?

This women’s tag match could mean so much for the AEW Women’s Championship! The wrestling idol teams with The Doctor, but the grudge might take priority for Britt. Will Britt and Bea be able to focus on the win or just each other?

Britt is 2-0 with that combination of submissions, and in tag team action. Bea gets in Britt’s face, though, and they are scrapping again! Riho tries to help separate them, but she has to know Britt’s wins could make her a contender. Bea and Britt want to rip each other apart, but will one of them come out to challenge the champ?
Ringside interview with Best Friends.
Chuckie T and Trent Baretta watch themselves hug on the titantron before they’re asked about the tag team tournament. The Young Bucks lost in a huge upset, so how are they feeling against SoCal Uncensored? Don’t ask them, ask Orange Cassidy! Fans go wild for the Sloth, who simply gives a thumbs up. But wait! The lights go out! Oh wait, on the stage. It’s… the Chair Man!
Shawn Spears w/ Tully Blanchard VS Jon Moxley!
The once Perfect 10 has a Horseman by his side, and prepares to ride into battle with the Death Rider. Will Spears achieve #PERFECT10N tonight? Or will he simply feel the Paradigm Shift in person?

Hangman Page & Dustin Rhodes VS Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara w/ Jake Hager!
The Problem Solver teaming with The Natural was only natural after what “The Inner Circle” did to The American Nightmare and the rest of The Elite. Will Hangman and Dustin make sure Y2J and the Best Ever don’t get away scot-free? Or will tonight end much like last week did?

My Thoughts:
A great second episode for Dynamite with a lot of great stuff, great surprises and no filler! Imagine that. I did not expect Private Party to win cleanly, and the match was amazing. This is a big moment for Marq Quen and Isaiah Kassidy, and it will be even bigger next round. I don’t think we’re getting two upsets, so Jurassic Express loses and Private Party tries to shock the world again. However, something still tells me Lucha Brothers move on to possibly face SoCal Uncensored. SCU might win, but Best Friends have been pretty solid. The ringside interview stuff needs some work, it was weird having the titantron package and I think even live fans got confused. The women had a great tag match, too, with lots of great story. Britt is on a roll, and she’ll face Riho next week in non-title action. There’s a strong chance Bea attacks just so Britt doesn’t get a win against Riho to move into title contention. That in turn should make for a #1 contender’s match between Bea and Britt, the winner likely moving on to Full Gear.
Darby VS Havoc was pretty great, and Darby is on his own great roll. Darby probably won’t beat Jericho, clean or otherwise, but he’s got the fans on his side. Moxley VS Spears was good fun, and apparently Pac wants after Omega as much as he does. Pac also has a gripe with Darby and others getting opportunities before him, so maybe Pac starts trouble with Omega, Darby and whoever else he can go after. The tag team match was really great, too. Hangman and Dustin worked really well together, but of course Hager was ringside to help out. The Inner Circle is doing great as the Heel Faction to counter The Elite being Face. MJF did amazing in swerving us on his turn. Though, is it really a turn if he’s been Heel and he goes Heel against Cody? If anything, he turned Face when he helped The Elite. MJF might become an amazing Tweener with this stuff, so that he can be great no matter who he’s against. Also, starting to hope for a crazy 5v5 match as go-home to Full Gear, Inner Circle VS The Elite, Hangman, Bucks and Rhodes Brothers.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Copeland is here!
The fans fire up and sing along as The Rated R Superstar makes his entrance, complete with the pyro but also a black eye. Cope goes to the ring, he grabs a mic, and he tells Seattle, “If you couldn’t tell, Dynasty on Sunday didn’t necessarily go our way. Yes, my face got messed up, way to go, Einstein. I got glue in my forehead, staples in my forehead, I got a shiner. Let’s face it, FTR… They said what they were gonna do and they did it.” The fans boo but Cope says they got to Christian, too, that’s why he’s not here. Christian’s gotta get an MRI on his forearm to see if it’s broke. The fans also boo that.
Cope says FTR gave his wife a piledriver. They took Christian’s watch! And in Christian’s world, that’s actually worse! There are three things you don’t mess with when it comes to Christian: His watch, his wine, and his women. In that order. But FTR, on Dynamite, you came out and said that while you’re the champions, Cope & Cage will not get another title shot. The fans boo again, but Cope says he is cooking an idea on that so bear with him. But if FTR thinks that this is just about titles, that C&C are just gonna walk away cuz they didn’t win at Dynasty, they’ve watched C&C’s careers and think that these two are just gonna walk away?
Do you think that they’re just gonna tuck their tails and run? The fans say “NO!” Cope says that is NOT what they do! Christian was forced to retire for seven YEARS! He busted his ass and he got this back! The fans cheer that, and Cope says he was retired for NINE YEARS, told he can never do this again because if he fell over, he could die! But Cope is standing here, full o’ piss ‘n’ vinegar! C&C are like dogs on a bone, and they will END FTR and take their pound of flesh! The fans cheer, but then FTR makes their way out here. Cope is ready to fight, but where are they? FTR walks out on stage, and Stoke has the mic as he smiles at Cope.
But then RPG VICE rush Cope, just like last week! Cope is ready this time and he fights off Rocky & Trent, but now FTR joins in! The fans boo this 4v1 mugging with Stoke cheering them on! But wait! The Young Bucks rush out here! Matt & Nick Jackson rush the ring, and they dodge FTR to CLOBBER RPG Vice! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for FTR! RPG Vice go after The Bucks, then send them at each other! The Bucks reverse to LARIAT Rocky, then they DOUBLE SUPERKICK Trent! Cope SPEARS Trent down and the fans fire up! Cope snarls as he stands back up, and he shakes hands with The Bucks as thanks for the help.
Cope & The Bucks stare FTR down as FTR retreats, but will The Bucks and C&C have to fight it out to go after those tag team championships?
Jack Perry speaks.
“At Dynasty, I got my first taste of what it’s like to defend this championship. And it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. But Don Callis, you only got close enough to get a sniff, because I beat your biggest, baddest and most dangerous, Mark Davis. But after what you just did to the Young Bucks, well, I wanna shove this up your big, stupid, spray-tanned nose. So why don’t you go ahead and pick your favorite goon out of the bunch and meet me next week in Portland so that I can add another notch to my belt as the National Champion.” Jungle Jack has thrown out the challenge, but who will be up to the task?

Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada.
Lexy Nair is with The Invisible Hand and The Rainmaker, and brings up that Callis promised Konosuke Takeshita a shot at the AEW International Championship at Double or Nothing if he and Okada got along at Dynasty. Now, given how that match went, is the deal still on? Callis says he looked back at the tape, and it is sad to say, maybe even embarrassing, that Okada & Takeshita did NOT follow the arrangement they discussed. Callis can get Okada out of this, there doesn’t have to be a title match. Okada shakes his head and says he is not going to back down. He wants this match! Okada knows he can beat Takeshita, because Okada is a champion! Unlike Takeshita!
Okada storms off, Callis follows, but will the NJPW World Television Champion prove Okada wrong?

The count is climbing, but Lio rolls in at 9.5. Pac shakes his head as he storms up on Lio, and he stomps Lio down! Pac CHOKES Lio, but the ref counts and Pac steps off at 4.

Lio writhes as the ring count climbs again, but he rises at 7 to drag himself in at 8. Pac drags Lio up, headlocks, and he grinds Lio down.
Lio endures as Pac holds on tight, and Collision goes to break.

Does Garcia think he can exorcise Lio’s demons? Pac GERMAN SUPLEXES Lio, but Lio’s right up!
Lio runs in, but into a SNAP GERMAN! Pac builds speed to LARIAT Lio inside-out! And then he clamps on the BRUTALIZER!! Lio grins, even as he PASSES OUT!! Pac wins!!
Winner: Pac, by submission
The Bastard won, but Lio sure creeped everyone out! Will anyone ever figure out what happened to the Man of the Hour? Will Pac just move on towards a golden opportunity and leave this in the past?
Six Man Tag: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico VS Ricky Gibson, KC Riff & Colt Rivera!
While their mutual amigo is back home in Mexico, preparing for Supercard of Honor, the King of Death will team with the King of the Ropes and the Talisman of CMLL! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico hold down the fort for Bandido? Or could Gibson, Riff & Rivera shock the world?
The trios sort out and Riff SHOVES Ricky into Brody, trying to punk the big man out! Ricky tries to apologize, but Brody CHOPS him down! The bell rings, Riff runs up, but Brody CHOPS him down, too! Rivera hesitates, and says he doesn’t want the smoke. Too bad, get in here! Brody THROWS Rivera, he ends up in the corner, and Brody coordinates with Dorada y Mistico. Dorada CHOPS Rivera, Mistico CHOPS Rivera, then Brody DOUBLE CHOPS Rivera! Rivera bails out to regroup with his team, but that lets Mistico DIVE and take them all out!

Winners: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico, by pinfall
As if anything else was going to happen! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico blaze a trail to the top of AEW in all divisions?
Kris & Shida regroup backstage.
They’re both feeling good from their win, and Lexy Nair steps in with congratulations. But she also brings up that someone requested this time to talk with them, and it is Mina Shirakawa. Mina steps in, and tells Stat sorry, but she’s specifically here for Shida. Mina tells Shida that uh duh, she knows Japanese, too! So Mina knows exactly what Shida said about Harley. AND a kendo stick was left behind in Toni Storm’s locker room! Mina isn’t sure what Shida is up top, but she does NOT trust her. Oh, is that so? Shida tells “Shirakawa-san” in Japanese that it must be nice to get this far just on looks! Mina is pissed but Kris keeps the peace.
Shida storms off, and Mina tells Kris to not trust Shida. Kris storms off, too, but could Mina have a point? Could Shida have taken out Toni Storm to clear room for herself at the top?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Thekla VS Alex Windsor!
The Toxic Spider took another shortcut to shortchange an opponent when she snuck one on Jamie Hayter at Dynasty. Iron Will Windsor wants to avenge her best mate, but will she make herself a double champion in the process? Or will Thekla take out two Brawling Birds in one week?
The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see who survives this Collision!
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. Windsor runs up, Thekla dodges, and Thekla swaggers around. Windsor shrugs that off to try again, but Thekla dodges again. Thekla swaggers her way out of the ring, but Windsor pursues! The cat ‘n’ mouse game goes around the way, and Thekla attacks as Windsor slides in! Thekla whips, Windsor reverses, but Thekla slips around to shove Windsor, only for Windsor to RUN her over! The fans cheer as Windsor keeps after Thekla with a rain of fists! Windsor then stands Thekla up to CHOP against the ropes! Windsor whips Thekla to ropes, but Thekla bails out!

Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Windsor keeps on her. Thekla kicks and flails to make the ROPEBREAK, and Windsor lets go. Thekla bails out again, but Windsor goes to the apron. Thekla runs away, denying Windsor her aerial attack.
Windsor just changes course, kicks, but Thekla blocks! Thekla YANKS Windsor down, then steps back inside. Thekla runs up on Windsor to BOOT her to the floor! Windsor tumbles but Thekla grins as the fans duel. Thekla goes up the corner now, and she aims at Windsor for a SUPER DUPER CROSSBODY! Direct hit and down goes Windsor! Thekla grins again while Collision goes picture in picture.
Thekla taunts Windsor before she drags her up. Thekla then THROWS Windsor into railing! Windsor sputters and writhes but Thekla refreshes the ring count. Thekla then drags Windsor up, makes her take a seat, then climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Thekla goes all the way to TEN! Or maybe “zehn?” Either way, Thekla reels Windsor in, only for Windsor to RAM her into the railing! Windsor fires off fists, then climbs up to rain them down! Windsor definitely goes to TEN, then brings Thekla around to whip hard into the apron! Windsor CHOPS Thekla, but Thekla whips Windsor into barriers!
Windsor falls in a heap, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. The ref wants this back in the ring so Thekla leaves Windsor behind for the count. Windsor slowly rises up, and she rolls into the ring at 8. Thekla CLUBS Windsor down, steps on her face, but steps off as the ref counts. Thekla then drops onto Windsor for the CROSSFACE! Windsor endures, fights up and around, but Thekla lets go to CLUB Windsor. Windsor fires body shots in return and backs Thekla to a corner. Windsor runs up, but Thekla ROCKS her!

Thekla fires shots on Windsor, but Windsor blocks the whip again! Thekla stomps a foot, then whips Windsor, but Windsor reverses and LARIATS! Then Windsor get moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, redirects, and FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!

Thekla survives but Windsor stays focused. Windsor hauls Thekla up, clinches, but Thekla fights the lift! Thekla CLUBS Windsor, ROCKS her, but Windsor shakes it off with a smile. Thekla gets in Windsor’s face, then ROCKS her! Windsor walks it off, to then fire off a flurry! The fans cheer, but Thekla dodges one to SMACK Windsor again! But Windsor blocks the next to HEADBUTT! Thekla falls, Windsor gets the legs, SHARPSHOOTER!

Pump handle and- NO, Thekla still fights the lift! Thekla ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, BLACK WIDOW STRETCH! Windsor endures the modified octopus, but she powers up to reach out! ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Thekla lets go in frustration. Thekla hauls Windsor back up, but Windsor breaks free, only for Thekla to SOBAT! Thekla runs, but Windsor LARIATS her down! The fans fire up while both women are down again!
Windsor rises, the fans rally, and Windsor goes up! But Thekla hurries to SMACK Windsor! Thekla climbs, but Windsor fights with body shots! “This is Awesome!” as Windsor HAMMERS away on Thekla! Thekla CLAWS Windsor’s face, then sneaks the brass knuckles out! But Windsor blocks the punch to HEADBUTT! Windsor goes up, over, and SUNSET FLIP- NO, Thekla holds on! BRASS KNUCKLE PUNCH!!! The fans boo as Thekla hides her evidence! Thekla then runs up, CURB STOMP!! Cover, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Another fight, another dirty tactic! But in the end, even Windsor fell into the Toxic Spider’s trap! Will anyone ever get wise to Thekla’s tricks? Or will AEW always be toxic?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, though kinda hard to follow that great Dynamite from last night. A lot of these matches felt like filler, but because it’s AEW, they even make filler go above and beyond. Pac VS Lio was actually the first real display of this “Problem Child” persona that I really liked. Lio got to show more personality, and seeing Pac & Garcia be afraid of Lio really helped sell the character. Great win for Pac, though, and maybe he goes for the TNT title next. Brody, Mistico y Dorada of course won their match, but again, they made the squash match a fun match. Them mentioning Bandido and Supercard of Honor was nice, it means they care about ROH on some level.
Very good opening promo from Cope, but of course FTR had to show up. RPG Vice attacking again was redundant, but The Bucks making the save was a nice change. Makes me think we’re getting an 8 Man Tag, FTRPG Vice VS Cope, Cage & The Bucks, and that somehow leads to the tag title match for Double or Nothing. Great tag match from The Bucks VS The Rascalz, and even a good move for The Dogs to go after those teams. I wonder if The Dogs and even The Rascalz get in on the tag match. Five, maybe even six teams, all fighting for the titles, that’d be awesome stuff for Double or Nothing, and a great way to give The Bucks their historic fourth reign.
Kris & Shida had a very good tag match and of course they won, but I like Mina accusing Shida of being whodunnit. Shida is certainly being two-faced, but who knows if she’ll be chosen as the one who took out Toni Storm. Great Six Man Tag from Conglomeration VS Lethal Twist, and of course The Conglomeration won. Great Continental Championship Eliminator, and great showing for Nick Wayne in his return to Dynamite. I still think he needs more to do with the ROH World TV title, but hey, they could use this to say Nick won some respect from Moxley. The story still feels like Moxley and Ospreay will run it back at Double or Nothing.
And as I figured from last night, Thekla was gonna cheat to win and keep the title. It was a great main event, but there might be something bigger in store for Double or Nothing, like a Triple Threat against both Brawling Birds.
My Score: 8.8/10
