Well speaking of coming back, Ospreay is up and he LEAPS onto Pac from the ramp! The fans fire up as Ospreay takes the fight to Pac, and they brawl their way around to the backstage area! Are these two going to brawl all night? As for Moxley & Yuta, they have to regroup and refocus. Will they be able to win their tag match tonight?

Give a partial assist to the Dragonslayer, but what else is new for this crew? Moxley then talks to Yuta about that whole deal with Ospreay. It seems that whether Ospreay’s dealt with Pac or not, the rest of the Death Riders will find him shortly. Will the Aerial Assassin get the fight he wants one way or another?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!
With March Madness going on, AEW brings back Slam Dunk Weekend! Collision will be one hour on Saturday, and one hour on Sunday, both after NCAA basketball coverage. Make sure your DVR is set accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Gabe Kidd speaks.
“Welcome to the end of Darby Allin. Tonight, Coffin Match, live national television. I’m not waiting to get in the ring, Meet me in the parking lot, you rat!” The Mad Man not only wants to escalate, he wants to devastate! Will nothing stop this Dog from burying Darby? Or will Gabe learn Darby isn’t just Relentless, he’s #WarReady?
AEW shares footage from after Revolution.
After Kenny Omega returned on Sunday to save Brody King from Swerve Strickland, Kenny returned backstage to say, “Swerve! The Most Dangerous Man in AEW. Oh, yeah, you’re a danger to me, sure. Maybe even a danger to Brody, but you’re not really a danger to yourself. And when I hear, ‘danger,’ I think risk. So you wanna get dangerous? Let’s get dangerous! Let’s roll the dice. You really wanna prove how dangerous you are? Let’s play a game of risk. How about you put your #1 contendership on the line? If you’re really the Most Dangerous Man, you’ve got nothing to fear. You against me, one more time, for everything. The winner becomes the #1 contender.
“Hit me back, lemme know how you feel about it. Until then, I must bid you adieu. Goodbye, Swerve, mwah! And goodnight, BANG!” The Cleaner has called out The Realest, what will be the response?
Coffin Match: Darby Allin VS Gabe Kidd!
While the pine box that will be someone’s final destination awaits at ringside, The Mad Man is indeed waiting right outside the arena! “It’s time now! World’s End, done! Revolution, done! I’m here, and there’s only one thing left to do, and that’s end you!” A car honks its horn and drives in, and Gabe knows it’s Darby! Gabe eggs him on, then dodges the car! Darby JUMPS out of the car, but Gabe RAMS him into the side! They throw hands, then Gabe SLAMS Darby off the hood! Gabe then deadlifts and POWERBOMBS Darby on the hood! Gabe CHOKES Darby as he tells him it is time! But then Darby CLAWS Gabe’s face!
Darby gets free, and he grabs his backpack! And from inside, Darby brings out a rag, and a bottle of liquid! Darby soaks the rag, and he SMOTHERS Gabe! Is Darby using chloroform or something?! Gabe flails, but Darby still smothers him! And then puts him in the trunk of the car! Darby slams the lid closed and shouts, “Let’s ride!” Wait, what?! Darby drives backwards, cars honk at him, but he then drives forward to use trash like a ramp to FLIP THE CAR!! The fans are going nuts watching this as Darby drags himself out of the car! Darby then drags himself back to the driver’s seat so he can use the trunk release! Gabe flops out onto the ground!
Darby hobbles his way over, and he finds a road case! Darby drags Gabe up onto the case, and he uses that to wheel Gabe into the arena! Um, is the match still on…? Commentary is rather stunned, as is the crowd. Wait, cameras keep with Darby and Gabe as Darby wheels Gabe out from around the stage! The fans cheer Darby on as the bell rings and this match is finally underway. Darby stops to catch his breath, then he SHOVES Gabe off the road case. Darby opens the case up, and he brings out his skateboard, and a straitjacket! Darby grabs a chair, too, and he rests for a moment before he drags Gabe back over. Darby sits Gabe up to SLAP him around!
Darby figures if Gabe’s a mad man, the mad man should wear the straitjacket! Gabe starts coming to but Darby SLAPS him again! The straitjacket is on, but Darby still has to strap it in. Gabe is waking up again but Darby ROCKS him with a forearm! Darby then grabs his skateboard and winds up! But Gabe LOW BLOWS first! Then he THROWS Darby into steel steps! Both men are down but Gabe crawls his way to the coffin. Gabe does his best to get out of the jacket but it is on tight. Gabe snarls, storms up on Darby, and he BITES Darby’s bloody forehead! Fresno tells Gabe he’s sick, but Gabe already knows that.
Gabe snarls as he tells Darby if he’s trying to play games, he messed up. Gabe loves this! These are good memories! Gabe opens the casket, and it has the words, “PUSHING UP DAISIES” on the underside of the lid! Gabe pushes Darby but Darby grabs the side to resist. So Gabe SLAMS the lid shut on Darby’s fingers! The fans are torn while Darby flounders away, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Gabe snarls as he then grabs Darby’s skateboard and rolls it into the ring. Gabe stumbles as he goes to grab the board again. Gabe takes a swing, but Darby dodges the skateboard strike! Gabe swings again, btu Darby trips him up! Darby has the legs, steps through, but Gabe SMASHES Darby with the skateboard! Darby falls in a heap, and Gabe stands up to tear at the straitjacket. Still no go, so Gabe just LASHES Darby with the loose straps! Gabe then scoops Darby to SLAM him on the skateboard! Darby writhes, Gabe slumps in the corner, but both men crawl around. Gabe stalks Darby to the ropes, then grabs the legs, but Darby clings to the ropes.
Gabe stomps Darby down, then looms over him. Darby sits up but Gabe reels him in. Gabe puts Darby in a corner, BITES the bloody forehead again, then hoists Darby up top. Gabe climbs up after Darby, barks like the Dog he is, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Darby fights the lift, then he BIETS Gabe’s forehead in return! The fans fire up while Darby CLUBS away on Gabe! Darby hops up for a SUPER CODE RED!! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds! Fresno duel, “We Want Tables!” “No, We Don’t!” Darby straps Gabe’s arms in, then dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! The fans cheer while Darby grins and laughs!
Darby hobbles to the corner, climbs to the top, but Gabe KICKS the ref into the ropes! That trips Darby up! The fans boo, but now Gabe stands to somehow manage to scoop with no hands! RUNNING POWERSLAM! The fans boo but Gabe then ENZIGIRIS Darby to the apron! Gabe runs and he BODY CHECKS Darby into the side of the casket! Darby flounders but Gabe snarls and sputters as he goes fights the straitjacket. Gabe says Darby wants to drag up his past, he can win at that game! Gabe uses his body to push the lid shut, but Darby stands! And he BITES Gabe’s nose!! The fans tell Darby he’s sick now, but Darby surely knows that, too.
Darby goes after Gabe as he goes back into the ring. Darby finds his skateboard, and he has another wild look in his eyes. Darby runs up, and LOW BLOWS with the board! Then he SMACKS away on Gabe’s back! And HEADSHOT! Darby hurries up top to COFFION DROP! Gabe sputters and coughs but Darby just goes back up! COFFIN DROP!! The fans want that “One More Time!” but Darby drags Gabe to the apron. Gabe flails, he BOOTS Darby in the face, then stands on the apron. But Darby TRIPS Gabe up! Gabe tumbles, Darby builds speed, and Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Gabe and Gabe falls into the coffin! The lid shuts, Darby wins!!
Winner: Darby Allin
Darby shuts Gabe down with vicious force, and crawls back into the ring to get a mic. Darby sits up so he can say, “I’m gonna hold that throttle until I see God or the AEW World Championship. Maxwell Jacob Friedman! I’m coming.” The fans cheer as Darby throws his proverbial hat into the ring! Kenny, Swerve, Darby, who else will be lining up to chase The Devil of AEW?
The Jurassic Express loads up.
Luchasaurus is in the driver’s seat, waiting on “Jungle” Jack Perry. Jack makes sure he has his leather boots, his knife in its leather sheath, his snake in ajar, and of course, the AEW National Championship. Luchasaurus honks the horn, it’s time to go! Jack hurries out, making sure he feeds the squirrels, then hops onto the bus. And from LA, they drive up through Bakersfield, make a pit stop, and then arrive in Fresno! Jack hops back out and says, “The Jurassic Express has arrived in Fresno. Now, Revolution was a pretty good night for me and my family. And tonight, I’m teaming with two guys who are like brothers to me.”
The Young Bucks step in, and Matt says, “Speaking of family… Last night at Revolution was a rough one for ours. But what kind of examples would we be to our children if we didn’t pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start fighting all the way to the top again?” Nick says that starts tonight on Dynamite as they face Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, and someone that they used to think of as family in Kazuchika Okada! Luchasaurus shouts, “B*TCH!” Will the #JurassicElite destroy the Don Callis Family and start this new chapter in their journeys? Or will #RainmakerVice make it rain in Fresno?
Prince Nana is in the ring.
Dynamite returns as Swerve Strickland’s messenger has the mic. “At this time, I want each and every one of you people in this arena to get up and stand up for someone who is very, very important in AEW! Hey, did you all see what happened at Revolution this past weekend? Did you guys see the annihilation and the reason why we call him The Most Dangerous Man in AEW?” The fans boo, but Nana says, “Without further delay, the boss himself, Mr. Dangerous, Swerve Strickland!” The fans boo again, but Swerve makes his entrance. Swerve takes the mic, then takes a seat, the spotlight all on him.
“Power. This past Sunday at Revolution, me and Brody King went to war. But the only true winners of war are the ones with power. Now, if you ask me, did I enjoy beating the hell out of that man in front of his home state of California? Of course! But was I satisfied? No. Because the power in AEW still lies elsewhere. And sometimes, power is more important than championships. Now, I’ve dealt with organizations with power all my life, all the way back to when I was 17 years old in the military. Up to when I was traveling the world on the independents. Up to when I was stuck in ‘developmental.’
“Truth be told, if it wasn’t for the Young Bucks interfering in my title match back at Dynasty last year, I’d be a two-time AEW World Champion by now. Which honestly brings me to Kenny Omega. Which is very fascinating what you said about me earlier. Unbeknownst to me, I’m the NEW #1 contender to the AEW World Championship! But what does the #1 contendership mean if I don’t have the power to protect it? Kenny…” The fans booing makes Swerve smirk, but Swerve says Kenny wants to offer up everything on the table, but he doesn’t have the leverage in this! It makes no sense for Swerve to beat Kenny twice and get nothing for it!
However, there is one thing Kenny has that does interest Swerve: Kenny’s power. Swerve tells Kenny that Swerve doesn’t want Kenny removed from power, he wants that power. Swerve wants to block out anybody else that thinks they can get it. So if Kenny wants this rematch with Swerve, he needs to offer up his EVP status! And to make it very clear, when Swerve beats Kenny, SWERVE BECOMES AEW’S NEW EVP!! The fans are stunned by that idea! Swerve has raised the ante, will Kenny be willing to match it?
Backstage interview with “Speedball” Mike Bailey.
Renee Paquette is with the now TWO-TIME AEW World Trios Champion as she says Revolution was a truly star-making night for him, Kevin Knight, and even Mistico. Tell us about bouncing back to get the trios titles back. Bailey says some people, you can just look at and know they’re a star, like Kevin Knight and Mistico. But not Bailey. Bailey has had to fight and scratch and prove himself again and again, and even learn how to believe in himself. Bailey went all over the world for nearly 20 YEARS to get everyone else to believe in him. IT is that kind of mental toughness and tenacity, those are who Bailey looks up top.
Like Kenny Omega! Kenny started from the ground up and had to work to become All Elite, and become one of the biggest stars in the world, and even become World Trios Champion like Bailey is now. Kenny worked hard to become AEW World Champion, just like Bailey believes he will be. That mental toughness not only makes you a star, but a winner. Bailey has the gold and the confidence, but will he prove he can keep them both? Or is Dunkzilla about to make him Count to Pain?

Davis SLAPS away then runs the ropes, REBOUN- NO, HEEL KICK!! Both men are down again and the fans cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” A standing count begins while both men stir. Davis and Bailey sit up slowly, and Davis is up at 5 of 10! Bailey is up at 7, and he winds up to CHOP! Davis just snarls so Bailey CHOPS again!

It was after the brutal victory over Hangman Adam Page that The Scumbag, bloodied and battered, returned backstage. “Greatest Dog Collar match of all time, greatest Ironman match of all time, greatest Texas Deathmatch of all time. Greatest AEW World Champion of all time. They call me Mr. Revolution. Y’know, they say adrenaline isa hell of a drug. It’ll stop you from feeling pain. Well, folks, the adrenaline’s worn off just a tad. I feel everything. Every bump, every bruise, every ounce of blood pouring out of my body. But none of that matters. Because I won. It was all worth it, because I am still the holder of the grandest prize of them all, The Triple B, the only world championship in the sport today that matters! The AEW, MWAH, world title!
“Today, I turned 30. Happy Birthday to me! What a way to celebrate. At only 30 years of age, I’ve accomplished more than most Hall of Famers. My goal is to go down as the greatest of all time. And I’m way ahead of schedule. Only a handful of men are in my way of achieving that status, and the biggest one of all was you, Hangman! But guess what? Your ass is off the board, chief! And I’ve still got 20 more years to go. For the next 20 years of my career, Hangman Adam Page, you will be right where you belong: The midcard. For the next 20 years, Maxwell Jacob Friedman will have a one-way ticket to GOAT status!
“For the next 20 years, only one name will be regarded as the Best in the World! The Wolf of Wrestling, the Salt of the Earth, the Generational Talent, the Devil, BIG HEBREW, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M! J! F!! Now, if you don’t mind, I’m gonna do what the greatest athletes have done after a big win since the dawn of time. Hey, camera boy, go ahead, ask me.” The cameraman does ask, MJF has just defeated Hangman Adam Page, he successfully held onto the championship, so what’s he gonna now? MJF sits up to say, “I’m going to Disneyworld! MWAH!!” MJF kisses the camera and heads out, will no one ever bring him down now?
Kazuchika Okada & Roppongi Vice speak.
The Rainmaker tells The Young Bucks and Jack Perry, “I heard you had to say. You think I used to be your family? HAHAHAHA! You are so stupid!” Trent adds that the bus isn’t cool, either. Okada says he is only loyal to one family, unlike Takeshita! Who is shaking hands with Jon Moxley! Meanwhile, tonight, The Rainmaker and Roppongi Vice pick up a main event victory for the Don Callis Family. Rocky adds that tonight is for La Callis Familia. And more importantly, for their fearless leader, Don Callis! Viva Don Callis! They love you, Don! Is #RainmakerVice about to bring some chaos to Dynamite?
No Holds Barred: Mina Shirakawa VS Marina Shafir!
This was going to be Toni Storm and Marina Shafir having it out again after their hard-hitting match on Sunday, but someone attacked her in her dressing room! The TIMELESS One is not medically cleared, so the Fighting Gravure Idol will step up and defend the honor of her Best Friend With Benefits Forever! Will it be up to #MinaNow to solve The Problem? Or will Marina have destroyed both Timeless Love Bombs in one week?
While Marina will neither confirm nor deny she did Toni in, Mina still takes precautions, in the form of a barbed-wire bat! The bell rings and Mina swings! Marina avoids the bat, but then Mina gets her in the leg! Mina swings again but Marina blocks to fire body shots! Marina disarms Mina to then scoop and SLAM her! Marina says she doesn’t need a bat, but she’ll still use it! But then Mina DROPKICKS the legs out! The bat goes tumbling away but Mina SLIDING KNEE STRIKES Marina! Mina SLAPS Marina around, then KICKS her again and again! The fans fire up as Mina KICKS away on Marina’s back!
Mina runs and basement DROPKICKS Marina down! The fans cheer while Mina goes out and looks under the ring. Mina finds a bucket of champagne! Mina says hold on, that’s not enough. She finds a third bottle, brings it into the ring, and the fans cheer as Mina says let’s toast! But Marina BOOTS Mina first! Then she URENAGES Mina down! Marina rains down forearms on Mina, then scuffs her. Marina drags Mina up to SAYANAGI! And SAYANAGI! Marina even counts in Japanese for Mina, SAYANAGI sanbanme! Marina flips off Fresno while they boo, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Marina sits Mina up to KICK her in the back! And KICKS her again! Mina writhes but Marina rains down forearms. Marina then goes outside, fetches a chair, and brings it into the ring. Marina stalks Mina, looms over her, and deadlifts her, only for Mina to fire elbows! Marina STO’s Mina down! Marina brings the chair around, then scoops Mina to SLAM her on the chair! Mina writhes but Marina drags her back up. Mina CHOPS and CHOPS, but Marina CHPOS in return! Marina scoops to SLAM Mina on the chair! Mina writhes again, but now Marina takes that bottle of champagne. Marina pops the cork, takes a swig, then stands Mina up.
Marina whips Mina to the corner, then storms up to KICK! Marina fires fast hands, then another KICK! Marina drags Mina up, CHOPS her again, then goes back to the bottle. Another swig, and Marina enjoys herself now. Dynamite returns to single picture as Marina SPITS the champagne into Mina! Mina SMACKS her back! Marina takes a swing, Mina dodges, and she DROPKICKS Marina down! The champagne bottle falls and splashes the camera! Mina fires off on Marina with forearms, then ROCKS her! The fans fire up as Mina now gets the chair! Mina swings, but Marina kicks low! Marina then whips Mina to the ropes, but Mina tilt-o-whirls to LA MYSTICA on the chair!
The fans fire up with Mina as she goes up the corner! Mina aims, and MISSILE DROPKICKS Marina down! Mina then gets the chair to SMACK Marina! The fans cheer as Mina sets the chair in a drop zone. Mina stands Marina up and climbs the corner, FLYING SLINGBLADE onto the chair! Cover, TWO!! Marina survives but Mina just SMACKS her again! And again! Mina has the legs, steps through, but Marina BOOTS her away! Marina runs up but Mina BOOTS her down! The fans rally as Mina aims from the apron, TORNILLO SPLASH! But Marina rolls through!? Clinch and MOTHER’S MILK!!
Mina has the ropes but that doesn’t stop the hold! So Mina CLAWS Marina’s facer! Marina lets Mina go, but Marina gets running! Marina BOOTS Mina in the ropes! Mina flops to the apron but Marina pursues. The fans boo as Marina CHOPS Mina, then goes looking under the ring. Marina brings out a TABLE! The fans cheer that! Marina sets the table up at ringside, but she has to hobble her way back up to the apron. Marina slaps herself to get fired up, but Mina fires a forearm! Marina fires back! The shots go back and forth, and Marina says do better! She CHOPS! Mina fires up, but Marina BOOTS her! Then BIG BACK SUPLEX down through the table!!
The fans go nuts while both women are down in the wreckage! Marina hit more of the table while Mina just fell to the floor! Marina still gets Mina in the ring, cocky covers, TWO!!! Mina survives and the fans are thunderous! Marina is beside herself, but she storms up on Mina. Marina fires hands and SLAPS, then shoves her down. The ref wants Marina to back off, but Marina gets in his face! It’s No Holds Barred, Posey, let her do her job! But wait, Mina grabs one of the champagne bottles from the bucket! Mina winds up and SMASH!! Right on Marina’s face! Then URAKEN!! Then this is for Toni! STORM ZERO!!! Cover, MINA WINS!!
Winner: Mina Shirakawa, by pinfall
Mina shouts in victory that she just beat Marina down for Toni! Both Love Bombs have wins on Marina now, but if Marina didn’t attack Toni, who did?
Backstage interview with Andrade El Idolo.
Renee is with The Real Latino Man and brings up his great victory at Revolution over Bandido. Andrade has been so impressive lately, so what is next for him? Andrade says there is one thing he wants, and that is the AEW World Championship. But then in steps Jon Cruz. He says hello to Renee, and then apologizes for this interruption as he has a delivery for Andrade. A big briefcase? What is it? It’s from MJF. Oh, so is he just handing over the title? No, no, no, hold on. Oh, wait, Don Callis is also calling in. Yay… Callis is on FaceTime and he tells Andrade to do him a solid right now. Please accept that solid sum of cash on behalf of the Callis Family, because Andrade is the money maker.
Andrade asks if Callis is actually working with MJF on this. N-No, what they’re doing is business! Callis understands the conflict of interest, Andrade wants the world title, but Darby Allin is becoming a pest. MJF and Callis have agreed that they will take care of Darby for him in exchange for a LOT of money. Trust Callis, Andrade, you’re on the best run of your career! And plus, “Papi,” you’re the money man! Well, okay, if Callis says so. Jon Cruz thanks Callis, Callis says gracias, and the briefcase is handed over. Cruz heads out, and Andrade isn’t sure how to feel. Is the family really selling out just to keep that Scumbag safe?
“Jungle” Jack Perry & The Young Bucks VS Kazuchika Okada & Roppongi Vice!
While we have a NEW AEW National Champion, we do not have NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions. You win some, you lose some, but either way, you just keep fighting! Will the #JurassicElite keep things going so that they can all be golden again? Or will the AEW International Champion show he never betrayed his “brothers,” he just rejoined his real ones?
The trios sort out and Jack steps to Okada. The fans rally up as the two stare down, step up, but Okada slips past Jack so he can flip off The Bucks! T he fans boo but Jack CLUBS away on Okada! Okada CLAWS Jack’s face! The ref reprimands but Okada flips Jack off, too. Okada whips, Jack ducks ‘n’ dodges, then RANAS! Okada tumbles, Jack DROPKICKS him down, and Jack kips up. The fans cheer, but RPG Vice CLOBBERS Jack and BLASTS The Bucks! Trent & Rocky double wrench, DOUBLE BODY BLOW, then run, only for The Bucks to trip them up! The fans cheer as The Bucks get in, and now The Elite surrounds Okada!
Okada pleads with them, wanting mercy, and he tries to get the chant going! “The! Elite! The, The Elite!” Nope, Nick ROCKS Okada! Matt ROCKS Okada! Jack CHOPS Okada! Nick runs and Matt gives him the boost to RANA! The fans fire up while Okada tumbles out. Rocky returns, but gets the GUTBUSTER to NECKBREAKER BACKBREAKER COMBO! Then Trent runs up, but Nick slips around. Trent BOOTS Matt, Matt rebounds, but Trent and Nick duck. Trent switches with Nick but Matt comes back, only for Trent to ELBOW Matt away. Nick runs up, waistlocks Trent again, and Matt rebounds for the SUNSET FLIP GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO!
The fans fire up for The Bucks while Trent bails out. Matt builds speed to WRECK Rocky, then he holds the ropes down for Nick to FLY! Down goes Rainmaker Vice, and now Jack goes up! The fans fire up as Jack ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Rainmaker Vice is down again while the fans fire up for “The! Elite! The, The Elite!” Jack drags Okada into the ring, whips him corner to corner, then runs up to LARIAT! Snapmare and time for a sacrifice! But Rocky anchors Jack’s foot! Okada BOOTS Jac k, Trent BLASTS The Bucks, and now Rainmaker Vice mugs Jack! The fans boo but they put Jack on the ropes, Rocky STOMPS Jack down, and Trent SLIDING KNEES!
Okada runs to rolling jackknife Jack into the Alabama Lift! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Rainmaker Vice soaks up all the heat from Fresno while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref reprimands Rainmaker Vice, and they back off so that it is just Okada and Jack. Okada stands Jack up to SMACK him off Trent’s boot! Tag to Rocky, he brings Jack around, and he SMACKS Jack off Trent’s and Okada’s boots! Tag to Trent now, and he winds up, only for Jack to send Trent into the boots! Jack crawls but Rocky rushes in and CLOBBERS him! Rocky drags Jack back while the ref reprimands, and Rocky stomps a mudhole in! Trent adds on while the ref has to keep angry Bucks back. Trent tags Rocky, Rocky looks to the camera, and Rocky does his Rinaldo slide! Rocky then goes back to Jack, but Jack fires body shots!
Rocky SMACKS Jack down, then tags Okada. Okada drags Jack up, but Jack CHOSP! Jack fires hands on Trent, on Rocky, and on Okada, but Okada kicks him low! Okada CLUBS Jack, but Jack shoves Okada! Jack shoves Okada again, fires forearms, but Okada just eggs Jack on. Jack fires more shots, but Okada KNEES him low! Okada drags Jack up to DDT! Cover, but Matt breaks it! Okada frowns but The Bucks just coach Jack up. Okada drags Jack up, but Jack fires body shots! Jack JAWBREAKERS Okada, and the fans fire up as Dynamite returns to single picture! Only for Okada to CLUB Jack back down!
Okada has Jack in a corner, whips him corner to corner, then runs in and misses the back elbow as Jack jumps! Jack CHOPS Okada, CHOPS again, then CHOPS again! Okada ducks a lariat, shoves Jack, but the COMEBACKER connects! The fans fire up while both men are down! Jack crawls, as does Okada, hot tags to Nick and Rocky!

Rocky crawls, he gets the ROPEBREAK, and that frees the whole team! Jack drags Okada out while Matt TOSSES Trent, and The Bucks regroup. Nick tags Matt, then Matt scoops Rocky. Nick goes outside but Trent anchors his foot! Nick stomps Trent’s hand, then he SUPERKICKS! Jack gets in and DIVES onto Trent! Nick springboards but Rocky sends Matt at him! Rocky cravats Matt, goes up the corner, but Matt stops the Sliced Bread from being served! Matt has Rocky in position again, but Okada slides in! Nick springboards into that DROPKICK!

GLASS JAW BREAKER!!! Cover, Elite wins!!
Winners: “Jungle” Jack Perry & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
A huge win in Fresno helps The Bucks get back up! Jack lets his guys have the ring, and Nick says, “Tonight’s a little bit bittersweet. We just had a great tag match with Jack, but uh… Sunday, we blew it. We were so sure of ourselves. We thought we were going to win those tag team titles at Revolution. So much so, that we had our entire family front row watching us. We had our kids wear special entrance gear, just for them to watch us lose… We’re adults, we’re grown men, we’re here to admit, FTR, you were the better team on Sunday.” Matt takes the mic to say, “We went to my birthday party later that night, and I couldn’t look anybody in the eye, I was so embarrassed.”
That was, until their dad, and they know he’s watching, their dad took them both aside and said, “Look at me in my eye. Keep your head up. Remember who you are! You’re the Young Bucks! You’re the best tag team on the planet!” The fans cheer that! Papa Jackson said there are arenas full of fans that still believe in The Bucks! There are arenas filled with fans who still love The Bucks! Then he told them he was proud of them. Their dad isn’t wrong about this one! They know exactly who the Hell they are! The fans cheer that!
Matt adds, “And if it means having to scratch and claw and work our way back up to the top, I swear to God there isn’t a person, there isn’t a team in the back, who’s going to stop us from getting back OUR AEW Tag Team titles for a FOURTH time!” But then, “You think you know him.” Fresno fires up as Dynamite just got Rated R! Adam Copeland steps out on stage while fans sing along with Metalingus, but he isn’t alone! Christian Cage is here, too! The fans cheer as C&C go to the ring, and step inside to be face-to-face with The Bucks. Cope says we never thought we’d see this. But listen, this might sound cliche, but C&C do respect the hell out of The Bucks.
That match at Revolution against FTR was one of the best matches Cope’s ever laid eyes on. Do not hang your heads in embarrassment, you’re both too good for that. That being said… Cope can also relate. FTR didn’t just attack The Bucks’ family, they attacked Cope’s wife, Beth. Yeah, now Beth Copeland is a badass. They call her the Glamazon for a reason, she doesn’t need Cope to protect her. But over the last six months while they waited to see if she needed spinal fusion surgery, Cope hasn’t been able to look her in the eye. But now that she’s out of the woods, Cope realized he needed to get his ass back into AEW and rectify the situation!
The fans cheer, and Cope says the way to rectify things with two egomaniacs like FTR isn’t about breaking their legs, necks, or faces. No, it’s about taking what is most important to them, even more important to them than their own families. And that is taking the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The fans cheer that! Cope says that while he and Christian respect them, that is why they’re out here. They wanted The Bucks to hear it from them first: At Dynasty in Vancouver, it will be FTR VS C&C, Round 2, and for THE AEW World Tag Team Championships! The fans are bit torn about that, and The Bucks sigh as they look up at the graphic on the tron.
Christian takes the mic now and says he understands this situation is deeply personal for The Bucks and for Cope. But they need to understand, it has become personal for him, too. Winning those titles means… Christian will make a ton of money! But also, it means C&C gets the chance to prove that not only are they the tag team of their generation, but that they’re the best tag team of this generation! Wait! Here comes FTR! The fans definitely boo as Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler, and Stokely Hathaway hobble out onto the stage. And #BigStoke has the mic to say, “Well, Sunday-” SHUT UP, STOKE! Stoke sighs and drops his mic, then tells FTR to go get ’em!
Cash & Dax storm down to the ring, even though it is 4v2, and The Bucks SUPERKICK Cash! Cope SPEARS Dax! Christian waits on Cash to get back up, so he can LOW BLOW him back down! FTR backs off, clearly regretting that move. But then The Bucks and C&C pick up the tag belts. There’s a double tug-o-war going on, but the fans want it to be a fight! The Bucks let the belts go since they’re not in line for them anyway. Cage & Cope stare FTR down, will nothing stop these living legends from establishing their Dynasty? Or will the Top Guys keep C&C away from their revenge?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to follow Revolution, though I (once again) have to question Tony Khan’s version of long term booking. Revolution got the Tornado Trios of The Dogs VS Darby & Conglomeration, yet Dynamite gets a Coffin Match. And the PPV got a Ringside Ban of Toni VS Marina, but Dynamite was going to get No Holds Barred? Though, there is the unfortunate change where Toni, shoot injured during Revolution, is kayfabe injured off camera. Mina VS Marina was still a great match, and I was a bit surprised Mina won over Marina instead of Marina rebounding. Maybe they’ve pivoted given the whodunnit nature.
Back to Darby and Gabe, we did get a very good video to hype up this match, and that parking lot segment was awesome stuff. Again, should’ve been on PPV instead of a Dynamite in Fresno. At the same time, maybe they wouldn’t have been able to pull off that car stunt like they did tonight, because that was wild! Darby bringing out the straitjacket was great stuff, and the way he sent Gabe into the coffin with the dive was great. Naturally, Darby wants after the AEW World Championship, and naturally he’s not the only one. Great promo from Omega to call out Swerve, and great response from Swerve. It would be so wild if Swerve became the “new EVP,” I’d love to see him abuse his power rather hypocritically given how he got The Bucks demoted.
Bailey VS Davis was a great match, but it was kinda filler since Davis wasn’t getting a Trios rematch. And while Bailey had a good promo beforehand, there was something weird about it. Renee moved aside like she was getting out of the way of what was coming, aka a blindside attack. But that attack never came. Did TK change the plan last minute? I dunno, just seemed really weird to me. Great promo from MJF because MJF can always bust out a great promo when he wants to. Him setting up that “I’m going to Disneyworld!” line was really clever.
Very good promo from Andrade with Jon Cruz and Don Callis. It would be quite the twist if the Don Callis Family Civil War happened over this “business deal” between MJF. Then it wouldn’t be so much Team Okada VS Team Konosuke as Pro MJF VS Against MJF. Also, Konosuke leading a trio against Mistico & JetSpeed is surprising. Mistico can’t be a transitional champion, right? This is so that Konosuke and Okada can argue over how they both lost to Mistico before moving onto their own feud, right?
Great stuff with the opening half of the show. Ospreay VS Blake was great, especially for Ospreay’s return match. Then great segue into interacting with The Death Riders. Clearly, we’re gonna get Ospreay VS PAC first, that’ll be awesome. Ospreay can take the Spring and Summer to build himself up towards Moxley and the Continental Championship in time for All In 2026. Great tag match of Moxley & Yuta VS Juice & Ace, but of course Garcia made sure to help out. Garcia & Claudio VS Komander y Mascara Dorada will be a great match, and that feels like a win for Claudio before he faces Hechicero for CMLL’s next big event.
Very fun vignette of Jurassic Express making the road trip from LA to Fresno, and good promo from Jack with The Bucks. Very good promo from Okada & RPG Vice, too, and Okada always finds a way to take jabs at Konosuke, another reason they need to finally have their feud. Awesome Six Man Tag main event, and a great win for The Elite. Good promo from The Bucks to help close the show, but something about C&C and FTR showing up to add on was odd. I suppose it had to happen tonight and not on Collision, given Slam Dunk Weekend is back. But FTR really was dumb for thinking they, at less than 100%, could fight four guys. And a double tug-o-war over the belts? A little too WWE for AEW but that’s just me. But at least they cut to the point of making FTR VS C&C for the titles.
My Score: 8.9/10

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?
The Young Bucks VS The Rascalz!
Matt & Nick got a warm-up in with that brawl, but now it’s time to go to work. Will Spring Breakthru turn into a Superkick Party? Or will Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed light it up?
The teams sort out and Nick starts against Zach. The bell rings, Zach and Nick circle, shake hands, then rally the fans. Nick and Zach circle, tie up, and Nick wrenches an arm to a wristlock. Nick YANKS the arm, but Zach rolls, kips up, and flips back to arm-drag free! The fans cheer, Zach dodges Nick to hurdle over. Nick leaps over, then WHEEL KICKS! The fans cheer as Nick whips Zach, but Zach reverses. Matt sneaks the tag, Nick goes up and over to clinch, GUT BUSTER to BACKBERAKER NECKBREAKER! The fans cheer while Zach scrambles away and Myron tags in. Myron runs up, The Bucks dodge to double kick.
The Bucks double whip but Myron ducks the lariats. Matt switches with Myron and feeds to Nick for a waistlock. Myron BOOTS Matt, switches with Nick, but Nick switches back. Matt runs up, SUNSET GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans cheer while Myron flounders away. The Bucks go back for Myron, bring him up, and put him in the ropes. They mug Myron but Zach goes after The Bucks. Zach whips, Nick reverses, but Zach puts Nick on the apron. Matt runs up, LARIAT ENZIGIRI SANDWICH! Then a CATAPULT into the GAMANGIRI! Nick goes up, DOUBLE STOMP BACKBREAKER, and a somersault into the BACKSTABBER on Myron!
The fans fire up with The Bucks as they stand tall, and Matt brings Myron around. Tag to Nick, he CLUBS Myron, then The Bucks double whip. Myron ducks ‘n ‘dodges, shoves Matt into Nick, and then reaches for Zach! Nick reels Myron in and back suplexes, but Myron lands out. Matt is there to back suplex but Myron lands out. Myron slides under, UP KICKS Matt, and he avoids Nick’s senton! Myron crawls and hot tags Zach! The fans cheer as Zach rallies with forearms and elbows, then he CHOPS Nick!

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 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

PLAY BY PLAY
Renee Paquette is waiting in the parking lot.
She lets us know that AEW Management has been trying to let MJF know for the past three days that Darby Allin has demanded his AEW World Championship opportunity for tonight. A car pulls up, and MJF has arrived! Renee gets his attention, and brings up Darby’s win at AEW Dynasty. MJF stops her there, because he doesn’t get why we’re talking about Darby Allin, the guy he’s beaten three times, and once with a headlock takeover. No, what we’re gonna talk about is THE world champion, the most important champion in all of pro-wrestling today, the guy who has beaten the likes of Bandido, Brody King, Kevin Knight, Mike Bailey!
The man who has made sure that Hangman Adam Page can NEVER, EVER be AEW World Champion again, and the man who kicked out of a One Winged Angel like it was nothing! Honestly, a very ineffective move. A man who beat your boy, “Kenny BAH GAWD Omega,” fair and square in the middle of the ring! Nobody can stop #BigHebrew! But Darby has- Don Callis interrupts and he shakes MJF’s hand! What a match! He destroyed Kenny Omega! Just as Callis knew MJF would. Enjoy it, champ! MJF says Callis is a mench. Not just that, The Mench of the Cench (as in Century). Callis says sorry about the Andrade thing, though, but take care.
MJF asks what Callis means by that. Well, Darby beat Andrade. Wait, what? MJF thought Andrade won. No, didn’t MJF watch the match? NO, he was preparing for his own match! Well, Andrade… MJF stops Don there. He loves Don to death, this isn’t Don’s fault, it’s on his boy. However, now Callis owes MJF one. Now, this isn’t the favor, but Callis does need to tell Andrade on MJF’s behalf that he is NOT ever gonna be championship material because the man doesn’t get the job done when he needs to. MJF reiterates that he loves Don, and he says bye, Renee, he’s outta here. But then Renee shouts at MJF to just listen!
Darby Allin won his match at Dynasty, making him #1 contender, and he wants that match TONIGHT. Does he understand!? What?! Tonight?! When?! Renee chuckles as she says, right now. WHAT THE WHAT?!? MJF is furious, he just arrived! Does MJF even stand a chance? Or has Darby gotten one over on The Devil of AEW?
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Darby Allin!
MJF panics as he shouts, “NO! NO! NO! Cut the music! Cut the gaddamn music right now!!” The fans boo but MJF storms down to the ring. MJF says if the “little emo freak” thinks for one solitary second that MJF is defending his title in an impromptu that he just found out about three seconds ago, then Darby is as stupid as he looks! The fans boo but MJF tells them to shut up! Maybe the people are too braindead to understand how much money MJF has. If he doesn’t want something to happen, it won’t happen! MJF will get his lawyer, he’ll sue “that skank, Aubrey,” he’ll sue Darby, he’ll sue “that pervert, Justin Roberts!”
MJF will sue Tony Khan, sue AEW, sue Warner Brothers, and every single one of these freaks who decide to live in the dumpster fire that is Washington state! The fans chant “Ring The Bell!” MJF mockingly asks back, “Ring the bell? You wanna see the match right now?! Do you wanna see this match?! Too bad! My back hurts from wrestling close to an hour against Kenny Omega only three days ago. Speaking of legalities, I wonder how our company would look if they forced me to wrestle tonight with an injury. That’s not a good look. Darby, I’m gonna go get checked out by the trainers in the back, but frankly, I’m doing you a favor by not wrestling you.”
The fans boo more, MJF’s mic gets glitchy, so he trades with Justin Roberts. MJF says he is doing Darby a favor. Let’s talk the elephant in the room: Darby is very talented, a great underdog, the fans love him! They really do. But the reason they love you is because you’re like them. You’re good, but not great. Like the fans, you’re not championship material. Darby, with love and respect, and MJF does mean that, you’re not ready to be- Darby snatches the mic from MJF! Darby is worked up already as the fans cheer him on. “All it takes is one night to drop the wrestling world’s on its head! If I’m not ready now, I’ll never be ready!”
The fans cheer Darby on as he says, “I kill myself for this company. Monday, I hung posters all around this city. I taped posters all around the city for tonight’s show. I climbed Mount Everest and I hung that flag on top of the world! The scars, the blood, everything! I’m ready! I’ve been ready! My career started ten miles down the road, at the Buddy Wayne Academy. And I took a deep breath my first day of wrestling school, and I said I was either gonna make it as Darby Allin, or I’m gonna fail as Darby, but I’m not changing a single thing!” The fans cheer that, too! Darby says tonight, he climbed to the top of this sport, and he didn’t change a thing! RING THE BELL!
The fans are fired up again but MJF says first off, relax, we’re not doing that. But then BRYAN DANIELSON speaks up! The fans cheer as Bryan tells MJF and Darby that he just got a message right from Tony Khan. And Tony Khan actually agrees… with MJF… It is unfair for MJF to wrestle when he is unprepared. And Max, that is why Tony will give MJF plenty of time to prepare, because this match, this AEW World Championship match, will be in tonight’s MAIN EVENT! The fans cheer that! MJF is furious, because that’s still only 90 minutes! MJF protests, but the fans cheer “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan says if MJF refuses that match, he will be STRIPPED of the title!
MJF is furious, but Darby turns him around to say, “Tonight in the main event, I’m beating your ass with a headlock takeover!” Darby throws down the mic, having thrown down the gauntlet! Will everything come full circle for the Relentless One?
AEW shares footage from after Dynasty.
Tony Schiavone waited outside the trainer’s room and spoke on the amazing night and amazing main event. He has Kenny Omega here, and he says he knows it was a heartbreaking loss. How is Kenny doing? Kenny isn’t sure what to say, he has nothing. He is sorry about that. Schiavone says that’s alright, just take care of yourself. Doc Sampson helps Kenny walk through the door, and Will Ospreay is also getting checked out. Kenny says, “Look at us, Will.” Ospreay feeling okay? Not really. Welcome to the club. Things didn’t go their way tonight. Not one bit. Not how they pictured it. Kenny feels he let everyone down.
Ospreay gets that, but he wants Kenny to think about it. Ospreay was there in the Tokyo Dome back in 2017 when Omega lost to Okada. Omega doubted himself, but he bounced back and climbed up the mountain. Yeah, but that was almost 10 years ago. Omega isn’t sure how much time he has left. But Ospreay does have time. He has the heart of a wrestler. AEW, pro-wrestling, it’s all Ospreay from here on in. Omega believes Ospreay can take it back. Ospreay’s got this. Ospreay says they still have this.
Now, Ospreay is dejected, sad, crying for about the last 40 minutes. But his dream and his ambition are still being AEW World Champion. He hopes Kenny hasn’t given up that dream, either. Omega can do it. Ospreay stands up, says he always has Kenny’s back, and gives him a pat and kiss on the head. Ospreay says Omega’s his hero. They shake on it and Ospreay heads out. Omega thinks on that. Omega is Ospreay’s hero, huh? Then maybe he can’t give up. The Best Bout Machine has a lot to think about, but will he rebuild and redeem himself just as before? Or will it take a bit more than determination to reclaim that former glory?
Tommaso Ciampa VS Dezmond Xavier!
The Psycho Killer wanted “Silvey” back so badly, but despite starting the Casino Gauntlet, he did not win the Casino Gauntlet. Will he fight his way back to a new opportunity? Or will Dez light it up and look for his own golden ticket?
The bell rings and the two circle. They feel tings out, but Ciampa BOOTS and ROCKS and then stomps away at the ropes! The ref counts, Ciampa stops at 4, and the fans fire up. Ciampa BOOT WASHES Dez outta the ring! Then Ciampa whips Dez hard into barriers! Ciampa shoves Dez back inside but the ref has him hold on. The ref checks Dez, Ciampa drags Dez up to wrench and whip. Dez rolls to stop, then he sidesteps Ciampa to run, roll, and UP KICK! Dez dodges again, waistlocks, but Ciampa ELBOWS free! Ciampa then TOSSES Dez out, and KNEES him off the apron! The fans rally while Ciampa shouts, “No more games! I want ALL the gold!”
Ciampa goes out after Dez, then whips him at the steps. Dez handsprings up and over! The fans fire up while Ciampa snarls. Both men slide into the ring, Dez bobs ‘n’ weaves to fire off fast hands! Dez body blows, clubs a leg, then UPPERCUTS! Dez runs but Ciampa ELBOWS him again! Ciampa whips, Dez handsprings, but Ciampa dodges with a slide. Ciampa runs up, Dez dodges, then DROPKICKS on return! The fans fire up as Ciampa bails out, and Dez builds speed! Dez slides to a stop as Ciampa moves aside. The fans are torn while Ciampa wags his finger, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ciampa checks his teeth, it seems they’re all there, so Ciampa takes his time goes back to the ring. Ciampa rolls in, only to roll back out, and he grabs a mic to talk trash on Seattle. Ciampa then storms up to the apron, but he just baits Dez into chasing him around the outside. Dez slides in but Ciampa stomps away! The ref counts, Ciampa stops to mock Seattle again, and he hoists Dez up to SLINGSHOT him off the ropes! Dez flops down, but Ciampa climbs up the corner just to tell Seattle, “SUCK IT!” Ciampa drags Dez up, whips him to ropes, then kitchen sink knees! Ciampa flexes as he soaks up heat, then he goes to Dez.
Ciampa drags Dez by the legs, stomps him in the stomach, then stomps him again. Ciampa has the legs, he YANKS Dez from the ropes, then he paces around Dez. Ciampa KNEES Dez in the back, drags him around again, but Dez fires body shots and haymakers! Dez ROCKS Ciampa, whips him to ropes, but Ciampa reverses. Dez ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Ciampa ducks under the crossbody! Dez crash lands, and Ciampa taunts the fans again. Dez SMACKS Ciampa, but Ciampa snapmares Dez into a chinlock. Dynamite returns to single picture as Dez endures. The fans rally as Dez CLUBS at Ciampa from below.
Ciampa pushes Dez down, grinds them down and flexes at the same time. Dez still endures, even as Ciampa puts on the pressure. Dez fights up, up, and fires body shots! The fans rally but Ciampa shoves Dez. Dez ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER Ciampa again and again! Dez fires fast hands, then a CUTTER! The fans fire up as Ciampa goes to a corner. Dez kips up, runs corner to corner, and he UPPERCUTS! Then SUPERKICKS! Then ENZIGIRIS! Ciampa staggers, Dez goes up, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Ciampa is tougher than that, but Dez drags him around to the drop zone. The fans rally as Dez goes right up top!
Dez aims, and 450- NO, he has to roll through as Ciampa moves! Ciampa ROLLING ELBOWS! Then he reels Dez in, but Dez RANAS! Cover, TWO!! Ciampa escapes, and he runs up, but Dez DUMPS him out! Dez builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Ciampa at the ramp! The fans cheer while Dez hurries to put Ciampa back in. Dez goes back up, FROG SPALSH! Cover, TWO! Ciampa survives again but the fans fire up for Dez! Dez tells Ciampa to get up, then he runs, but Ciampa reels him in! Ciampa back suplexes, but Dez lands out! Dez BOOTS Ciampa, SUPERKICKS, then goes up, up, and leaps, into a JUMP KNEE! The fans fire up while Dez goes down!
Ciampa drags Dez up, reels him in, and lifts for PROJECT CIAMPA! Ciampa isn’t done with Dez, though, as he drags Dez back up. Ciampa takes aim, kneepads down, PSYCHO KNEE!! Cover, Ciampa wins!
Winner: Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall
Another singles victory for Ciampa, but he demands the mic. “This was the example. Why? Because I’m sick of waiting. I want it all. I came to AEW because this is where the best wrestle, and I want all of the gold. And if I’m not making myself clear… Darby Allin, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, whoever wins… the Psycho Killer is coming for the AEW World title!” Then he PUNTS Dez outta the ring! His shadow knows his story, but will Ciampa’s future be the top of the mountain?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On a special Thursday night broadcast of Spring Breakthru Night 2, we will see the rest of the Rascalz in action as Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed take on The Young Bucks! Will Matt & Nick Jackson keep the momentum going from Dynasty? Or will things still be lit in Seattle? Then Jon Moxley looks to keep his own Dynasty momentum going as he faces the ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne! Will The Prodigy live up to that nickname when he earns a shot at the AEW Continental Champion? Or will The Maniac just keep running roughshod through the roster?
Plus, after their successful outing as a team, tense as it was, Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida are going to do it again! Will #Krishida start a win streak? Or will the cracks in the foundation get worse?
FTR is here!
Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are still the AEW World Tag Team Champions as they and Stokely Hathaway make their way to the ring. #BigStoke is all smiles as he hands the mic to Dax. Dax says he’s read a lot of the chatter online, he’s heard all the complaints, and it seems to him the fact that FTR has won again makes all of the fans angry. Hey, he gets it, he understands why they’re angry. They love an underdog story! They love an underdog story because they think they can relate to it, they feel they can relate to the underdog. But the fact is, they’re not underdogs, they’re just losers! No, seriously, they’re just losers! Fat losers!
And speaking of losers, FTR gave Adam Copeland & Christian Cage a brush with relevancy, and those two couldn’t get the job done. So Cope, Cage, Dax is talking to you: As long as FTR are the AEW World Tag Team Champions, C&C will never get a shot at these again! Stoke says he has been told that supposedly, all the fans are educated people? The fans chant, “NO HOES!” Stokely says he don’t need hoes, he has the AEW World Tag Team Champions. But before he was so rudely interrupted, he has been told that “the sickos” know everything about everything! They know about pro-wrestling, about sports, about politics, about history, religion!
So then clearly, they all know the story of David VS Goliath! And the two men that Stoke has in this ring, this is Goliath! And he is here to tell us, that there are a lot of Milli Vanillis, a lot of wannabe Davids! From #Brodido to the Bang Bang Gang to even Matt & Nick Jackson and Cope & Cage! Stoke is here to say that every time David steps up to Goliath, he gets b*tched out. Stoke feels there is no more competition here in AEW! Tony Khan will surely do what he does best and go to CMLL or NJPW, sign every CHUD he can to put in the division, but the results will be the same: they all will fall to the giants known as F T R!
Cash says beautifully said, Big Stoke. Now, if the fans would do FTR a favor and please, he’s asking nicely, let them pay homage to the careers of Cope & Cage. Now that FTR has put an end to them, they would like to have a moment of silence. Please, if you would… The fans boo instead. Cash says please, a moment of silence. And then it’s one second. Now, for those of you in attendance with the benefit of flash photography, FTR won’t give you five seconds, they’re feeling generous. They will give you a ten second pose! The fans boo but FTR does their best “Barry Allen over Oliver Queen’s grave” style pose.
The ten seconds are up and Cash thanks Seattle, they’ve been great, have a great night. The fans boo more, but FTR is moving on with the belts. But is there really no team in AEW that can take these #TopGuysOut?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Claudio Castagnoli!
The Jet flew high as ever to win this title in the Casino Gauntlet, but he’s already turning around into defense mode! Will Knight truly be 2Fly2Stop? Or will the Death Riders add yet another piece of gold to the collection?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Knight survives the night!
The bell rings and Claudio runs up! Knight sunset flips over him, TWO! Claudio tries again but Knight catches him to a backslide! TWO, and Claudio headlocks. Knight powers up and out, drops down then hurdles over, and he DROPKICKS Claudio down! The fans fire up as Knight then LARIATS Claudio up and out! The fans stay fired up as Knight builds speed, but Claudio slides into the ring for a LARIAT! Knight is down but Claudio stomps away! The fans boo but Claudio runs to ELBOW DROP! The fans boo but Claudio looms over Knight. Claudio drags Knight up, bumps him off buckles, but the fans rally for Knight.
Claudio CHOPS Knight, but Knight fires back with forearms and CHOPS! The fans rally, but Claudio scoops and SLAMS Knight right down! Claudio snarls, then he stomps Knight’s fingers! Claudio clamps on with a neck wrench but Knight endures. The fans rally as Knight pries at the hold. Claudio puts on the pressure but the fans rally up. Knight fights to his feet, fires body shots, but Claudio KNEES low! Claudio back suplexes but Knight lands out! Knight runs up, jumps up, springboard and FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up, Claudio runs up, but Knight TOSSES him up and out! The fans fire up as Knight aims, but Claudio drags him outside!
Claudio swings, misses, and Knight goes up the apron to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up with Knight and he high-fives the front row, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight brings Claudio up and into the ring, then pushes him to a cover, TWO! Claudio is tougher than that but Knight nods as he goes to the corner. Knight climbs up, but Claudio trips him up! Claudio ROCKS Knight, then drags Knight up for a deadlift suplex! Claudio huffs ‘n’ puffs before he covers, TWO! Knight proves he’s tougher than that, but Claudio clamps on with a top wristlock! Knight endures as Claudio twists his arm! Knight reaches out, shifts around, and stands up to fire forearms! Claudio scoops to SLAM again! Claudio then runs the ropes for another ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO!
Claudio argues the count but the count was fair. Claudio looms over Knight, then he clamps on the same top wristlock. Knight endures again, even clasping hands to fight the pressure. Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as Knight fights to his feet. Knight fires body shots, then forearms! Knight scoops but Claudio fights the lift! Claudio scoops to SLAM again! Claudio runs, but Knight avoids the elbow drop! Ghost pin, TWO! Knight hurries to Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Claudio UPPERCUTS Knight to the corner, then storms up for a whip. Knight goes up and over, slides and LEAPING LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
Knight rises, he UPPERCUTS Claudio again and again, but Claudio takes a swing! Knight ducks once, but Claudio ROCKS him on the return! Claudio UPPERCUTS, runs, but Knight scoops! Knight SLAMS Claudio after all! The fans fire up for that feat of strength! Then Knight hits a UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Claudio is still tougher than that, but Knight hurries after him. Claudio ROCKS Knight from the apron, goes up the corner, but Knight DROPKICKS him down! Knight then FLIES and wipes Claudio out at the ramp! The fans fire up again as Knight stands tall! Knight drags Claudio up and into the ring, then pounds the apron.
The fans know “This is Awesome!” as Knight runs in at Claudio. Claudio BOOTS Knight, then goes up, but Knight goes to the UPPER- NO! Claudio stops the rana, though he has to step off the corner. But then Claudio powers up to haul Knight back up the corner! The fans go nuts for the SUPER GOTCH NEUTRAL- NO, Knight sits up with core strength! Knight fires off fists, but Claudio throws him away! FLYING UPPERCUT!! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives and the fans are thunderous! Claudio seethes, but he drags Knight up, only for Knight to slip through! Knight kicks, Claudio blocks, and Claudio FLIPS Knight to the apron!
Knight ROCKS Claudio, springboards in, but into Claudio’s arms for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives again but Claudio drags him right up. Now Claudio has the Gotch hold, but Knight BACKDROPS! Claudio sunset flips it to have the legs for a GIANT SWING! The fans cheer as Knight goes around and around for FIVE, then Claudio steps through. Knight flails to fight it, so Claudio CATAPULTS Knight at the corner! Knight goes right up top! FLYING LARIAT! Knight hurries to climb again, and he takes aim for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Jet may have felt like an underdog champion, but he proved he is a rightful champion! Knight gets a mic to say, “Yo, yo, yo! Everett, Washington! Y’all miss me?” The fans cheer for that! Knight says shoutout to Claudio, by far one of the hardest hitting dudes, one of the strongest opponents Knight’s ever had. Give it up for Claudio. The fans do cheer Claudio, and Knight says he won’t let that stop him. The Jet is looking good, feeling even better, as your NEW TNT Champion, baby! The fans cheer for that, too. Knight says before he won this, he did lose the trios titles. Speedball, Knight knows you’re beating yourself up over that, but don’t take it personally, he doesn’t blame you.
And as they say, when one door closes, another one opens. Sometimes you gotta slow down to speed back up, and The Jet is riding high, baby! The fans cheer again, and Knight says tonight, there’s a big one with Darby Allin VS MJF for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship! And well, Knight will keep a close eye on that one, because #Jet2Belts sounds #2Fly! Knight is ready to add even more golden luggage to the flight log, but will his flight plan be headed for The Scumbag from Long Island? Or will it be the hometown hero in Darby Allin?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
Spring Breakthru returns as she says to welcome the legendary Chris Jericho! The fans cheer as The Demo God, The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla, The Nueve, Y2J makes his entrance. Jericho gets pyro while he struts down the ramp and the fans sing along with Judas. Jericho joins Renee in the ring, and Renee says it is so good to see him, and the fans are sure happy to see him. Jericho fires the fans up more and they chant his name. Renee says maybe not everyone is happy, since last week, Ricochet came out here and said Jericho would be rusty. Clearly, from the match on Sunday, that is not the case. How did Jericho feel his first match back?
Jericho know show he feels being back in Everett, Washington tonight. But he feels so happy to be back in AEW. It was great to be back in the ring at Dynasty. One of his favorite matches in a long time, in front of a great crowd. Even though Jericho lost, he didn’t loss because of rust or overexcitement, it was because he was outnumbered 3v1. The fans agree with that. Jericho still gives credit where credit is due, congrats to Ricochet for probably the biggest win- Oh, well, Ricochet makes his way out here, The Gates of Agony by his side. Ricochet has a mic to tell the fans to sit down, shut up, and listen! The fans chant “BALD!” instead.
Ricochet then tells Jericho that he meant every single word when he said he respects Jericho. And after that valiant performance at Dynasty, Ricochet respects Jericho even more. But Jericho didn’t listen to Ricochet at all, did he? No, he signed his contract and got himself hurt, just like Ricochet said Jericho would. And on top of that, Ricochet had to do it! The opportunity was in the palm of his hand, so he had to take Jericho out with his own move, the Lionsault! Or what will be renamed “The Ricosault.” The fans boo that idea, but Ricochet says he gives Jericho credit, Jericho didn’t completely embarrass himself. He did pretty good, but just not good enough to overcome the rise of Ricochet.
The fans tell Ricochet to STFU, but he says he’ll be out here all night if he wants! But as he was saying, Jericho wasn’t good enough to beat Ricochet, so maybe do yourself a favor and quite now while you’re ahead. Well, unless… Jericho is the king of reinvention. The Lionheart, the guy in the suits with the big words, the Demo God, the light up jacket, we’ve seen it all! So here’s an idea: Jericho becomes the guy who gets his ass beat by The Demand every single week he shows up! The fans boo again, but Ricochet says the fans must like that idea. Jericho can stick around after all and have the best run of his entire career!
Jericho asks Renee to please step aside. Jericho says first off, “The Ricosault?” That’s brutally bad. Secondly, bald. The fans chant “BALD!” But Jericho appreciates Ricochet coming out here, bald, and giving him some insight, because Jericho really respects Ricochet’s opinions, bald. The fans cheer and laugh, but Jericho continues by saying he knows what the game is here, weird shaped head. Ricochet is on stage with his goons, dumb and ugly, and they’re gonna back Ricochet up no matter what it is he says or does, bald. So here’s a proposition for you, bald. Why not leave his goons, dumb and ugly, on the stage, come on down here, bald, and face Jericho 1v1 right here in Everett, BALD!?
The fans fire up for that idea, but Ricochet says don’t think he doesn’t see what Jericho’s doing! He knows what Ricochet’s saying! Jericho doesn’t get to call Ricochet bald, and he’s not afraid to face Jericho 1v1! Well, Jericho feels Ricochet is too scared, and bald, to come down here. Ricochet says fine! Liona, Kaun, stay up here, and no matter what, let Ricochet handle this 1v1. Do not help him no matter what, understand? Ricochet drops the mic, takes off the jacket and the vest, and so does Jericho. Ricochet rushes the ring, Jericho dodges him, and then HIP TOSS! Jericho runs, and he LARIATS! The fans fire up but Ricochet waves to his guys!
Jericho stomps away, GOA run in, but Jericho fires hands! That’s still 3v1, so much for Ricochet honoring the deal! The fans boo, but The Demand let off, only for Jericho to go after them again! Jericho gets mugged again, then they CLOSE THE GATES on Jericho! The fans boo harder but then Ricochet gets an idea. LIONSAULT! The fans boo again, but now The Demand stand tall. Will Jericho have to go back to the drawing board to gameplan a way to defeat Bald, Dumb & Ugly?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynasty.
Renee Paquette found Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada to ask them what happened out there against The Young Bucks. Callis says what happened was that there was a 2v1 situation, two Bucks, one Rainmaker! But then Callis spots Takeshita and confronts him. What happened? The Alpha says that was an accident. Oops. He’s so sorry~! Takeshita mocks Okada, Okada throws his armbands at Takeshita, then insults him in Japanese. Callis says it’s okay, they’re not done, they’ll work this out. But is Callis the one who needs to work out that things aren’t okay in the Don Callis Family?
Will Ospreay VS Hechicero!
The Aerial Assassin told Kenny Omega to keep his chin up, and surely Ospreay is taking his own advice. Will the #BillyGOAT get back on the horse by taking down the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion? Or will the Alchemist of Lucha simply add insult to injury?
But wait, Don Callis makes his entrance. Callis says he has something important to say. And in his horrible Espanol, Callis says, “Todos los personas del Everett, Washington that is muy, muy stupido, from the great country of Mexico…! Es un cabra muy super intendoooooooo~! YO! SOY! HE-CHI-CEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!” So it’s been how long and no one has told Don he gets that wrong? That aside, Hechi makes his entrance with new music and more pyro. The bell rings and the fans fire up for Ospreay. Ospreay and Hechi feel things out, tie up, and Hechi puts Ospreay on the ropes. The fans sing “OSPREAY~ OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY~!” while the ref counts.
Hechi and Ospreay go along the ropes, but the ref counts again. Hechi grabs a leg, sweeps the other, then keeps on Ospreay with a toehold. Ospreay grabs at Hechi but Hechi knuckle locks that hand. Hechi ties Ospreay up in a modified figure four, but Ospreay fights up into headscissors! Ospreay hits a twisting rana and has Hechi down! Hechi kicks Ospreay away, Ospreay goes to a corner, and Callis joins commentary, even as fans cuss him out. Osperay and Hechi reset, feel things out, and Ospreay goes for a leg. Hechi steps over, rolls Ospreay, but Ospreay slips around to get the arm. Hechi rolls Ospreay again, TWO!

Ospreay steps through on the spinning toehold! Ospreay ELBOWS Hechi down, then stalks him to ropes. Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as Hechi fires a body shot, but Ospreay fires a forearm! They trade shots, and Ospreay spots Marina Shafir in the crowd.
Ospreay warns The Problem, but Marina says she’s just here to watch. Ospreay whips but Hechi reverses to duck the kick, and pump handle Ospreay into a modified abdominal stretch! Hechi then scoops Ospreay, but Ospreay slips free and waistlocks. Hechi switches, Ospreay switches, repeat! Hechi hammerlocks and swings Ospreay around, MAD SCIENTIST BACKBREAKER! Hechi then shoves Ospreay to a corner and JUMP KNEES in the back! The fans are torn while Ospreay falls, and Marina acts unimpressed. Hechi covers, TWO!

Hechi whips and SPINEBUSTERS Ospreay, then steps through for the spinning toehold! Hechi then steps over to TWIST Ospreay’s arm! Then Hechi pushes Ospreay down for the NECK TWIST! The fans boo but Hechi runs to WERCK Ospreay with the dropkick! Ospreay is on the floor and Marina chuckles. Hechi puts Ospreay in the ring, then hooks up the legs.

The fans cheer as Hechi kicks low, then whips. Ospreay handsprings the hip toss to ENZIGIRI! Hechi goes to a corner, Ospreay runs up, but Hechi hits the HEADSCISSOR GUILLOTINE! Ospreay writhes but Hechi covers, ROPEBREAK! Callis is furious but that’s a fair, legal move! Hechi rains down fists while Callis distracts the ref with the arguing! The ref reprimands them all, Hechi stops, and the ref wants Doc Sampson to check this. The fans cuss out Callis and boo Hechi while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Doc checks Ospreay, but Marina shakes her head. Hechi puts the straps back up, and Doc checks Ospreay’s arm and shoulder. Ospreay grits his teeth as he manages to stand, but that pain brings him back to his knees. Hechi DROPKICKS Ospreay in the head! The ref reprimands but Hechi drags Ospreay out. Hechi fireman’s carries and hits SNAKE EYES off the barriers! Ospreay falls, now clutching his chin and neck area. Marina feigns concern as the ref has Hechi back off while Doc checks Ospreay again. Ospreay sits up again, perhaps too stubborn about this, but Hechi BOOTS him! Ospreay flounders into the ring but Hechi is right after him!

Ospreay aims, for HIDDEN BLADE!! Cover, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall
Callis says fine, on to Plan B! What does that mean? Callis says you’ll just have to wait and see. Ospreay stares Marina down, seemingly wanting her to send a message to Moxley. But wait, MARK DAVIS LARIATS OSPREAY DOWN! Plan B is more like Plan D, as in Dunkzilla! COUNT TO PAIN!! The piledriver takes Ospreay down! Will #DangerousDavis prove to be hazardous for Ospreay’s health?
Renee Paquette is on stage.
She says this has been an incredible night for Spring Breakthru, but then Thekla immediately interrupts from… somewhere… with a whiny, mocking, “No~, niet~, nein~!” The Toxic Spider creeps in from up in the crowd, and she tells Renee that Renee looks good tonight. But not a single person here paid to see Renee flap her lips, when the Toxic Spider is in the house! The fans do cheer Thekla, and she says she just wanted to remind everybody that she marched into Dynasty THE AEW Women’s World Champion, and she defeated the great Jamie Hayter. “I beat her ass good!” And then she walked out still the champion.
Y’all better get used to that! Because this industry is filled with nothing but dumb b*tches! But then Alex Windsor storms out on stage to interrupt Thekla! “Did you really think I was gonna let you say that you actually beat Jamie Hayter? No, no, no, and I’m certainly not gonna let you waltz around tonight when I should beat the piss out of you right bloody now!” Thekla says wow, wow, wow. She says the word “dumb b*tch,” and one magically appears! Why is Alex so angry? Don’t blame Thekla that Alex’s best friend lost, or that her husband lost for that matter. Alex tells Thekla that she’s forgetting she’s not the only champion.
You are looking at THE NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, Alex WINDSAAA~! The fans cheer, and Alex asks if Thekla wonders what they say about her in Japan. What do they say in Japan? They don’t call Thekla a champ, they call her the girl who was stupid enough to get herself fired! Oi, oi, oi, mate, chill yer balls, oi! Thekla didn’t get fired. Well, okay, she did. BUT…! Only because they couldn’t handle her, just like no one in AEW can handle Thekla! Oh, nobody can handle Thekla? Okay, alright. Windsor gets in the ring, and says she’ll handle Thekla right now! How about NO~! Alexa says fine, champ, have it your way.
How about Thekla puts that lovely title on the line, and Alex will meet Thekla back here on Collision? Alright, Thekla likes that. But then The Sisters of Sin rush in from outta nowhere! But Alex HEADBUTTS Skye and LARIATS Julia! So much for that sneak attack! Thekla still smiles, then hurries off before Alex can rush the crowd! Will Thekla take out both Brawling Birds in the same week? Or will Alex make herself a double champion?
The Death Riders speak.
Jon Moxley says he actually likes surprises. Someone like Will Ospreay, who he’s known and studied for a long time, doesn’t surprise him. Marina Shafir walks in and Moxley asks how Ospreay looked. Rough? Green around the gills? Oh, yeah. Maybe Moxley has a talent for seeing exactly how all the dominos fall, maybe he just gets lucky, or maybe he just pays more attention. But Ospreay showed Moxley his cards, they were on the table, so don’t get mad at Moxley. Contrary to popular belief, Moxley doesn’t take pleasure in the suffering of others. Though, there can be beauty in it. Moxley prefers life over death, light over darkness, but you don’t get one without the other.
What was that kid’s name again? Nick Wayne. Right, tomorrow is the biggest night of Nick’s life. Continental Championship Eliminator on Collision. Moxley doesn’t know much about Nick, so please, please, surprise him. But this is Continental Rules, adult stuff, for grownups. So please, leave Mommy in the back. Will The Prodigy prove he can man up and do things on his own? Or will Moxley just add him to the long list of names of those who can’t keep up?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Kamille!
The Babe with the Power wanted an Open Challenge for Dynasty, but the American Gladiator took a cheap shot as her way of saying hello, she’s back! Willow has had time to prepare for her payback, but will she have it? Or will the “Comeback Killer” be the one taken out tonight?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the Face of TBS will still be smiling!
Kamille tries another cheap shot but Willow dodges! The bell rings as Willow fires forearms on Kamille and backs her into the corner! Willow fires shot after shot, stops as the ref counts, then bumps Kamille off buckles. Willow brings Kamille around, Kamille turns things around, but Willow blocks the buckle bump to SMACK Kamille off buckles again! Willow dribbles Kamille off buckles again and again, and Kamille staggers around. The fans cheer as Willow brings Kamille back around, but Kamille shoves her away. Kamille BOOTS the bad arm, then wrenches the arm to YANK it! The fans rally for Willow but Kamille whips her into a corner.
Kamille runs up but Willow dodges! Willow LARIATS again and again in the corner! The fans count, Willow goes to nine, then short arm- NO, Kamille BOOTS the bad arm again! Kamille snarls as she wrenches the arm and ELBOW BREAKERS! Then a wrench and YANK! Kamille clamps on and CLUBS away on the bad arm! Willow fires body shots, but Kamille YANKS the arm again! Willow goes back to a corner, but Kamille runs up, only for Willow to BOOT her! Kamille snarls, runs up again, but Willow puts her on the apron. Kamille blocks a shot to HOTSHOT the arm! Willow staggers away, Kamille storms up, but Willow CHOPS! CHOPS! CHOPS!
Willow CHOPS in the corner, then fires up with the fans. Willow whips but Kamille blocks it! The bad arm jams, and Kamille WRINGS it out! The fans boo but Kamille soaks it up, and she clamps onto the arm as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Kamille drops KNEE after KNEE on the arm, then pushes Willow to a cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but Kamille clamps onto the arm again. Kamille whips Willow into the corner, then wraps the arm around the ropes. The ref counts while Willow suffers, but Kamille stops at 4. Kamille stalks Willow, stands her up, but Willow fires body shots. Kamille CLUBS Willow down, then drags her out to the apron. Kamille SLAMS the bad arm off the apron, then she soaks up the heat. Kamille mocks Willow’s bad arm, then goes back to the ring. Kamille clamps onto the arm but Willow fires body shots. Kamille pushes Willow down to Oklahoma Roll, TWO!
Kamille storms back up, but Willow cradles Kamille! TWO, and both women stand. Kamille wrenches the arm for the ARMBAR DDT! Willow writhes but Kamille covers, TWO! Kamille argues the count, then clamps on with a chinlock. Kamille shifts to an armlock, then ELBOWS away on the arm. Willow fight sup but Kamille CLUBS her back down! Kamille looms over Willow, but Willow kicks from below. Kamille clamps onto the arm again, and with a top wristlock! Willow endures, fights up, and fights around, to then fire body shots! Kamille CLUBS the bad arm again, then CLUBS Willow back down!
Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as Willow whips Kamille away. Kamille goes up, out, and slides under to roll willow up. But Willow avoids the boot to LARIAT! Willow runs to LARIAT again! Willow runs but Kamille LARIATS! Willow rebounds to LARIAT Kamille down! Kamille hurries to her feet while the fans cheer, but Willow dodges Kamille to POUNCE! PERIOD! Kamille flops around while the fans rally behind Willow! Willow runs to CANNONBALL! Willow drags Kamille to the cover, TWO! Kamille survives but Willow stays focused. Willow shakes the bad arm, drags Kamille back up, and reels her in!
Willow gut wrenches, but the bad arm holds her back! Kamille hits a FACEBUSTER! Kamille then goes to the corner, runs up on Willow, and hits the ROUGH RYDER! Cover, TWO!! Willow survives but Kamille stays right on her. Kamille fireman’s carries, but Willow sunset flips! Kamille stomps Willow to then drop a leg on the arm! Then she steps over and drops into the ARMBAR! The fans rally for Willow as she endures, but Kamille stomps Willow into breaking the grip! But Willow high stacks, TWO! Kamille stands, wrenches, and she WRINGS the arm again! Willow writhes but Kamille keeps after her!
Kamille scoops Willow, but Willow slips free! Willow shoves Kamille into buckles, backslides her, WILLOW WINS!!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Another match, another night where Willow snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Another comeback killed, and we cut backstage to see Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida applauding. Shida congratulates their great friend on another great victory. Doesn’t Stat agree? Shida interrupts Kris before she can even start, going on in Japanese, then goes back to English to say that last Saturday, Shida & Stat made a great team! Two AEW Originals! Kris keeps wanting to talk but Shida seems to compliment herself in Japanese. Shida says they will keep it going on Collision tomorrow night! She can’t wait! So, see you there, Kris!
Shida leaves before Kris can say anything, but will actions speak louder than words when The Galaxy’s Greatest & The Shining Samurai step back into the ring?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Renee walks ‘n’ talks with the #1 contender, and says this is it: AEW World Championship. The stakes don’t get higher than this. Any last words before he goes out there? Darby wants to say something, but STING is there to see him off! “You ready?” Darby nods and says, “You got anything for me?” Sting says no, Darby already knows what to do, he just has to get out there and do it. Darby nods and fist bumps Sting. It’s showtime. No, not showtime, it’s YOUR TIME, Darby! Now, go take it. The Icon seeds Darby off, are we about to have a Relentless AEW World Champion?
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Darby Allin!
Spring Breakthru returns from one last commercial break, and it IS time! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and ready or not, Dynamite is about to end with an instant classic!
The bell rings and the fans fire up for Darby as he stares down with MJF. Darby rises slowly while MJF is already moving with some anxious energy. The fans chant, “F him up, Darby, F him up!” Darby and MJF circle, but then MJF says timeout! The fans boo, there’s no timeouts in this kind of match! MJF says he forgot about the Dynamite Diamond Ring! MJF takes it out and hands it to Aubrey Edwards. Aubrey puts the ring aside, but MJF LOW BLOWS Darby! The fans boo as MJF still uses the diamond ring as an advantage! MJF then headlocks, and he calls the takeover. But Darby SHOVES MJF at Aubrey!
Aubrey shields herself in the ropes, but then Darby LOW BLOWS MJF!! The fans go nuts as MJF tastes karma, and then he gets a SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby goes up top, for a COFFIN DROP!! Then another COFFIN DROP!! The fans are thunderous and Darby is all fired up! Darby makes sure MJF is in place for a THIRD COFFIN DROP!! MJF scrambles around but Darby puts him in another drop zone! A FOURTH COFFIN DROP!! Seattle is erupting as Darby hits the headlock takeover! Cover, DARBY WINS!!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Champion)
Seattle EXPLODES with celebration! Because yes, Darby didn’t just win, he didn’t just win with a headlock takeover, he won to become THE AEW World Champion!! The locker room hurries out here to celebrate, from The Conglomeration to The Rascalz to The Outrunners, Brodido, JetSpeed, and The Young Bucks! Confetti flies as the pyro goes off on stage! Darby stands tall in his hometown, family and friends here to see it with their own eyes! And of course, IT’S STIIIING~! Sting howls in celebration for Darby and the fans join in! The blood, the glass, the fire, the climb, not just up Mount Everest but in AEW, it was ALL worth it! Will AEW be all in on Darby Allin?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite to not just be Spring Breakthru but to follow Dynasty. I loved how they played this with MJF and Darby Allin. MJF didn’t pay attention to anything, not even texts and calls form AEW, the entire time he was celebrating his win over Omega, so of course Darby’s challenge caught him off-guard. Now granted, I thought MJF VS Darby was going to be the main event from the start, but Bryan Danielson getting to give that news was a nice way to bring him into this. I know AEW doesn’t like to copy WWE, but there should be a GM to make these decisions. That said, I also love how they played the main event. The takeover as the pinfall was perfect, given the history between Darby and MJF, and what a great moment for Darby to celebrate with all the Faces, Sting included.
Great match from Ciampa VS Dez, and Ciampa wanting right at the top works just fine for him. Ciampa never got to be top champ on WWE main roster, or even compete for it, but he’ll make a great AEW main eventer. Great TNT Championship match from Knight VS Claudio, great win for Knight, and maybe not surprisingly, he again throws his hat into the world title picture. I feel like challengers for the TNT title should be keeping him busy instead, but maybe Ciampa VS Knight establishes a clear contender going into Double or Nothing. Great TBS Championship match from Willow VS Kamille, and Willow getting another win via backslide is good story. Her arm is bad, Kamille is tough, a quick pin teases they could do this again for Double or Nothing.
Very good promo from Kris & Shida right after the TBS title, even with it being Shida talking nonstop and Kris left uncertain about the team-up. They’ll surely win their match on Collision but I feel like the team is already going to fall apart and set up a match that sends one of them after a title. Thekla and Windsor had a very good promo, and setting up a Women’s World Championship match is great stuff. I would think Thekla cheats another win, or at least tries. Jamie Hayter could back Windsor up, only for the Sisters of Sin to complicate things. Not sure what the title match for Double or Nothing is going to be, though…
Great promo from Omega and Ospreay, great match from Ospreay VS Hechicero. It was a little scary when Doc was checking Ospreay’s neck, but maybe that was just them playing up the injury for story. And with Don Callis Family picking on Ospreay again, I wonder if Omega backs Ospreay up and they have another team-up, but against Don Callis Family. Though, that feels like rehashing old material when you think about it. Moxley had a good promo, and pretty clear he’ll beat Nick Wayne, but there might be more with Death Riders and Ospreay. I wonder if there’s a possibility of a Triple Threat Tag, Omega & Ospreay VS Moxley & Claudio VS Mark Davis & Hechicero, just so all stories can be told at once.
And very good stuff with Jericho and The Demand. Another hilarious and brilliant promo from Jericho, but of course he gets beat up 3v1. Again, Jericho either gets another faction going, reunites an old one, or at least has a team-up with someone who also dislikes The Demand. But in the end, we know this will result in Ricochet VS Jericho 1v1 again, Jericho gets his win back, and that compels a tiebreaker. Not exactly the Jericho Vortex but it’s not not the Jericho Vortex.
My Score: 9/10
