The party comes to a halt as the Dark Order OG seal the deal for the faction! Is it only a matter of time before they take over all of AEW?
My Thoughts:
A pretty good Dark for another 11 match night. There were still matches that were obviously going one way over another, but they still felt like good matches for all parties. I like that Brandi VS Velvet happened after what Brandi was saying on commentary last week, and it was great for Velvet to get upset about those same comments. Butcher and Blade keep it together better than Pentagon and Fenix did last week, I wonder if that in itself causes tension between the four. I liked the detail of Dani having a Burn Book page about Ford, as well as the reaction Ford had to it. Megabyte Ronnie honestly has an impressive look and according to commentary, he’s a military veteran and had a moment of realization that with one life to live, you got to eat what you can while you can. I really liked his hot dog eating elbow drop, too, that was very creative. But of course Cage won for Team Taz.
Proud ‘n’ Powerful and Best Friends obviously win to roll into their match for Dynamite, but something about Best Friends’ win felt more dominant than PNP’s. Maybe this is a sign Santana and Ortiz win the Parking Lot Brawl. I still feel like AEW should be prioritizing their rise to the tag titles, not Jericho and Hager jumping into the division on a whim. Hobbs squashing Sorensen while Starks talked smack makes me think Hobbs is rising up in how AEW sees him, and I wonder if it comes to the point where Hobbs joins Darby Allin against Team Taz. Hobbs has the strength to not so much rival Cage, but he at least evens things out. Ivelisse & Diamante get a real good match out of Chanel and Moore, though maybe sloppy at points. That’s more to Chanel and Moore being newer, but at least no one got hurt.
I really liked the Dark Order developments tonight. Anna making sure Brandi remembers she’s around was a good touch. The Dark Order being on Cabana’s case was a great bit of detail, as was them cheating to help him win. That should come back around as part of the story inside Dark Order, such as it hurting Cabana’s confidence to know he didn’t win on his own. And the 8 Man Tag was a lot of great stuff. The Gunn Club and Private Party had a lot of chemistry, but it does make a lot of sense for the Dark Order to win because of the overall story. And of course, there’s Cutler VS Avalon. I forgot they both lost 25 matches each. And I totally forgot about the possibility of a draw! Them pulling that is actually brilliant, as they’ll be among the very few AEW wrestlers to have a tie on their records. Cutler and Avalon are now both 0-25-1, but far from over with each other. I bet the anniversary show finally gives us one of them going 1-25-1.
My Score: 8.2/10

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?

DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (denies Nick Wayne a title opportunity)
The Maniac won out, but Nick certainly left a mark. Was this enough to surprise Moxley and perhaps even impress him? Is this a good sign for how Nick Wayne will fair in this year’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors?
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?
PAC w/ Daniel Garcia VS Lio Rush!
The Death Riders keep on bringing the fight as now The Bastard battles “The Problem Child.” But will Pac rebound for falling short in the Casino Gauntlet? Or will Lio make this Pac’s Final Hour?
The bell rings and Pac paces while Lio mutters to himself, “It is him! It IS him! I told you it was him!” Lio is very Smeagle and Gollum right now as he’s in his own world. “You gotta dig real deep!” Pac tries to get Lio’s attention, but even Pac’s a bit unsettled. Lio goes on and on until Pac stomps him, and Lio stands right up! Pac scrambles back while the fans tell him he messed up! Lio wants a handshake but Garcia coaches Pac to be careful. Pac YANKS Lio at the corner, but Lio stops short! Lio runs back up, but into a SOBAT! Pac is still wary as Lio snarls and shrieks. Pac runs up, Lio dodges, redirects, then dodges Pac!
Pac ducks Lio, back suplexes, but Lio lands out! Lio jumps on Pac to CLAW and BITE him! Pac whips Lio away and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Lio writhes. Pac runs, but Lio bridges up! Lio grins but Pac stomps him down! Cover, ONE! Lio goes Matrix, then mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Pac tumbles out but Lio asks, “Where’re you going? Come back!” Lio CLAWS Pac through the ropes! The ref reprimands, Pac gets free, but Lio slithers out as he pursues. Pac is still very worried by this. Lio chases Pac, until he spots Garcia! Then he CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans fire up as Lio CHOKES Garcia!
Pac hurries to BOOT Lio off Garcia and stomps away! Pac digs his boots in, the ref counts, but Pac stops at 4. Lio laughs while Pac leaves him behind. Pac argues with the ref, but that lets Garcia stomp away on Lio! The fans boo but Garcia hurries off. Lio taunts “Danny,” but Pac goes out to drag Lio up. Pac scoops Lio for a TOMBSTONE to the floor! Lio writhes in pain and Garcia says yeah, don’t play those games! Pac rolls into the ring to let the count handle this. Lio drags himself up at 7 of 10 while Collision goes picture in picture.
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. Pac argues with the ref about how freaky Lio is being, but Lio rises up again! Lio grabs at Pac, but Pac DECKS Lio! Pac looks to the fans as if they know what to make of this. Pac goes after Lio in another corner, whips him corner to corner hard, and Lio tumbles right out of the ring! The ref checks on Lio but Lio’s still conscious. 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.
Collision returns again Lio slips under Pac, dodges him, and sends him into buckles! Lio runs up but Pac OVERHEAD SUPLEXES him right into buckles! Lio flops over but Pac goes up the corner. Pac aims as Lio writhes, but Lio springs right up! Lio eggs Pac on with his wild screeching, but Pac hops down. Lio ducks a shot to fire fast hands! Pac tumbles out, and Lio runs up to HANDSPRING KICK Pac down! Lio runs around like the gremlin he’s become, to then DIVE onto Lio! The fans fire up for Lio as he stalks Pac. Lio puts Pac in the ring, but Pac whips. Lio reverses, Pac reverses, but into RUSH HOUR! Cover, TWO!
Lio watches Pac closely, then drags him around into a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Pac endures, then rises up with Lio as a backpack! Pac RAMS Lio into buckles, is free of the hold, but Lio stalks Pac! POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Pac survives and Lio is mad at the ref! The ref fears for his life, but Lio hauls Pac up for a STUNNER! Lio holds on, then he grinds the hold. Garcia protests from the apron, but that gets Lio’s attention! The fans chant for Lio to “EAT HIS FACE! EAT HIS FACE!” Garcia freaks out, and he flicks water at him?! 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! The fans cheer as Mistico sets Rivera up, and Dorada TORNILLOS him down!
The fans fire up as Mistico y Dorada stand back up, and they feed Ricky to Brody’s GONZO BOMB! Cover, Brody and team win!
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!
Thekla ducks a shot to ROCK Windsor, then she climbs up as the fans rally. Thekla leaps, but Windsor gets clear! Windsor runs up, and she LARIATS Thekla down! The fans fire up while Thekla is dazed, but Windsor hauls Thekla up for a suplex! The fans duel as Windsor aims, and she runs up again, to wrench and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Then a BASEMENT LARIAT! 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 then BOOTS Windsor, reels her in, and has the HANGING HEADSCISSORS as Spring Breakthru returns to single picture!
The ref counts, Thekla lets go at 4, and the fans duel as Thekla storms back in. Thekla snapmares Windsor, then winds up to basement SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Windsor survives but Thekla is amused. Thekla storms up on Windsor and CHOPS! The fans cheer as Theknla shots, “Women’s Wrestling!” Thekla CHOPS again, then whips corner to corner, only for Windsor to block! 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!
The fans fire up while both are down. Windsor rises up, she has the legs, but Thekla kicks and kicks and kicks again! Windsor staggers, but she dodges to scoop and BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO! 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!
The fans fire up as Thekla endures! Windsor sits deep on the hold, but Thekla fights her way forward! ROPEBREAK! Windsor lets go in frustration, but she drags Thekla back up. 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
