Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 28, 2025

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring to start tonight's show. Hangman says triumph in life is fleeting and momentary, as is defeat, and in the past three years, he lost sight of that. He says it is not the win or the loss, but what is done with it, that matters, and at Double or Nothing, two men entered the ring and one knew they would have to leave defeated. Hangman thanks Will Ospreay for the fight of his life and reminding him why he became a professional wrestler and dispelling any notion that he was not a man who could take AEW forward, because Ospreay is that kind of man.He then says that while one man had to taste defeat, one man had to taste victory. He states that there will be another Owen Hart Tournament winner, and hands the title to Schiavone before he looks forward to winning the AEW World Championship. He says that the AEW World Championship is the responsibility that he has chased since AEW started, and for seven months, it has been hidden from the world and locked away in a briefcase. Hangman says the AEW World Championship was supposed to be a beacon and a guiding light as well as what AEW is all about, and on his first days in AEW, he told everyone that while he was here, the fans will be his boss. Hangman promises the fans that in seven weeks, he will win the AEW World Championship, free it from the briefcase, hold it over his head for the world to see, and defend it with every last of his being. Swerve Strickland shows up, and shows Hangman footage from the Dynamite after Dynasty of The Young Bucks telling Hangman that they did him a favor by keeping Swerve from being champion. Swerve says he had the AEW World Championship won, and curiously finds it convenient that Hangman has a clear path to the title. He also mentions Hangman's promise to prevent him from being AEW World Champion again. He wants to know if Hangman had anything to do with this, and Hangman says that while he locked his eyes on Swerve, he also locked them on Moxley, and for even one second, he thought about helping him. He says that if he wanted to cost Swerve the match, he would have done it himself to his face, as he has done it before. Swerve says "Sounds good, but you're still full of shit." Suddenly, Will Ospreay shows up, and says that while he looks at Swerve like a brother, Swerve is wrong about Hangman. He says Hangman shook his hand like a man after their match, and he could look in his eyes and tell he cares about AEW. Ospreay says that he had the same feeling about Swerve when he did the same for him, then says it is not him or Swerve, but Hangman, who will win the title. He says that they have one shot, but Swerve knocks the microphone out of his hand when he proposes working together. Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, and walks out of the ring as Ospreay tries to reason with him. Hangman tells Ospreay that he will not work with Swerve, and he also leaves.



The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Gabe Kidd, Marina Shafir) are seen entering the arena before the next match.

We hear from MVP, who celebrates the fifth successful tag time title defense of The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, MJF) and MJF's debut in the group.

Backstage, we hear from Ricochet, who states that he will continue his quest for gold and that he has seen the lay of the land in AEW. He realizes he needs his own crew of loyal subjects who will help him on his quest for gold. He then says that when he finds the perfect crew, he will prove why he is out of the world.

Before the next match, Jacked Jameson talks about The Frat House's (Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Preston Vance, Jacked Jameson) pledge party at a nearby bar in search of their next member. He then says "El Paso Strong" makes no sense because the men are weak and skinny and the women are fat and ugly. They also found no new member. They also found no new member. Jameson then states that it does not matter because they will become the new Trios Champions. As Preston Vance gets in The Opps' (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) faces as he says that The Frat House will booze, win or lose, Samoa Joe gets the match started with a headbutt.

Mercedes Moné heads to the ring. As Mercedes Moné brags about how she is the CEO of AEW, "Timeless" Toni Storm and Luther show up, and Toni lays her title between herself and Mercedes. Mercedes is happy to see Toni, but says the fans are sick of black and white and want a champion full of color. Toni is happy to see Mercedes, and is impressed with her championship accolades in and out of AEW since her debut. She says that Mercedes has never once spoken to or looked at her, yet Mercedes has been watching her and has professed this to be the one match she has wanted, and asks what took her so long. Mercedes says it is all patience, and that it is all about her legacy, not Toni's. Mercedes says she is the revolution, and Toni says Mercedes has never seen anyone like her. Mercedes admits Toni is different now, but so is she, and that they will bring the house down. Toni says they both achieved so much on the indies, but when all that was not enough, they both came to AEW and became exactly what they wanted to be. Toni then states that while Mercedes wants all the titles, she needs only one, as she has bled, cried, and died for the AEW World Women's Championship, and if Mercedes wants to ride the money train through the Toni Tunnel, she hopes she can get deep enough. Mercedes says even Toni's hips are not even wide enough for the money train. Toni says they will meet again in 45 days, and a girl with big dreams will watch and say "Holy shit, these bitches are crazy," and then, she will find out who the better woman is. She says Mercedes may think she is the best in the world, but she herself is timeless. Mercedes says Toni may be timeless, but she deserves to have her time run out. Both Toni and Mercedes state they will see each other at All In Texas, then Mercedes and Toni shake hands before having the close-in and the staredown. Toni gets a sniff of Mercedes' scent, then Mercedes goes for a cheap shot only for Toni to fight back, which causes Mercedes to retreat.



Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

Moxley tells everyone to enjoy things now, as it will be the last time that The Opps and Powerhouse Hobbs will be celebrate for a long time. He also admits that he does not even like looking at The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and tells them to stay in their lane or else he will make it so that they are never seen or head from again. Moxley then says that there was one undisputed baddest man in wrestling since he stepped into the business, and while he has treated Samoa Joe with respect and reverence and given him his space, Joe started something that he has to finish, as he does not know any other way. Moxley says he will not run, hide or roll over and die, and that he will fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship right now, as he does not now any other way, for better or for worse, then makes the challenge known. He says he has known Joe long enough and that Joe knows what he is dealing with.



"The Jet" Kevin Knight beats Lance Archer.



In footage from after Dynamite, Samoa Joe says predators think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle and that nothing pursues them because they are pursuers. He then states that The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) have learned that this was not the case, and that The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) only need an opportunity and an excuse to commit violence. He says that The Opps are men like him, Shibata and now Powerhouse Hobbs, and the new Trios Champions, and that they are coming for so much more.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter. Statlander says there are other women in the locker room who work as hard as Mercedes Moné and "Timeless" Toni Stor.

Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), who write that they wish they could take back what they did to Schaivone and that the punishment was not been severe enough. He says he would never have gone through the piledriver with Schiavone, and while he does not hold his words about his daughter against him, he felt it was justified to scare him a little. They also write that they did not want to get physical with Nigel McGuinness before mocking Nigel's physical and mental state, then state their hopes to continue on in a professional and productive manner.



We see Don Callis introduce "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander to his family.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Meanwhile, the fans chant "loser" at Claudio.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith. Big Bill says he is disapppointed in "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho for walking out on them and is getting angry. Bryan Keith stops him and says that they must do things like family and handle this internally like family, as this means so much to him, and says that Jericho probably would not have left if Big Bill got mad at him. Big Bill says he gets where Bryan Keith is coming from, but he is not sure if they should be living and dying by the whims of Jericho. He then says that the goal is the same: get in the ring, crack some skulls and win matches.



La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush, Dralistico, The Beast Mortos) beat KM, Rosrio Grillo and LSG in a trios match.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey when Ricochet shows up and says the story of the week is the two of them stealing $400,000 from his bank account. Bailey takes this as Ricochet taking his loss in the $400,000 eight-man tag match personally, but Ricochet says that they beat The Beast Mortos and not him before telling them not to upset the top talent before something bad happens. Kevin Knight says they respect him, and that while he can do anything Ricochet can do, Ricochet cannot grow hair. Ricochet says he can smack him in his mouth, and after Kevin dares him to do, he rears back only for Ricochet to flinch. Ricochet takes this as a challenge, but Speedball says "Not today," and the two of them leave. Ricochet looks at Renee Paquette, who whips her hair back and leaves, much to Ricochet's chagrin.

Jon Moxley says being a wanted man with a knife to his throat and a dynamite stick about to blow is the only way to live. He says everyone wants the next title shot and that their egos run AEW, then challenges "Switchblade" Jay White, Orange Cassidy and "Hangman" Adam Page to a Fatal 4-Way for the AEW World Championship at Worlds End.



We hear from Christian Cage at the skybox. Christian says that he has a problem with all four men in the just-announced Fatal 4-Way Match, saying two of them cost him the World title, that Orange is "a little pissant who gets on his nerve" and that Moxley has what he wants. He then says that if Moxley survives, he will be waiting on the other side to send him back to rock bottom, making him want to drink and go back to rehab, before declaring he is the next AEW World Champion. As he leaves, he suddenly runs into Hook, who punches through the glass window of a door just to attack Christian in the skybox and put him in Redrum. Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne show up to make the save, but Hook overpowers and outsmarts them and gets out of the skybox.



Will Ospreay beats Claudio Castagnoli in the Gold League of the Continental Classic via pinfall with a sudden jackknife pin. Will Ospreay earns three points and has a grand total of six points. Claudio Castagnoli still has six points. After the match, Claudio attacks Ospreay and hits him with the Neutralizer, but Darby Allin makes the save and chases Claudio away with a baseball bat as soon as Claudio grabs a metal folding chair.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Ricochet. Ricochet says that facing someone like Brody King for the first time ever in the Continental Classic is why he came to AEW, and while Brody King is big and formidable, he is not Ricochet, and tonight, he holds all the cards.

MJF is seen arriving at the arena.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Matt Cardona. Cardona says it is great to be back in AEW, as he belongs here. He says that he is always ready and that he has busted his ass for the last five years to reinvent himself, and now he has his biggest opportunity ever against "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho.

Bryan Keith says Cardona made a mistake putting his hands on Jericho, and that he will make him pay the price.



In backstage footage from earlier today, Tony Schiavone interviews Darby Allin. Darby says the quest is never over and that The Death Riders are slowly chipping away at what makes AEW what it is. He says that he knows the younger members of the locker room do not want to get involved, but if they do nothing, it will just keep happening. He says that inaction bothers him more than the blood and the violence does. He says that the Continental Classic reminds of what is right in AEW and that he must win the tournament, as it represents AEW and its passion. Darby admits there will be collateral damage along the way, as Jon Moxley says that AEW needs saving when it gave him a second chance. He then says AEW took a chance on him, and that Moxley tells himself lies again and again, stating that nothing damages one more than the lies told to one's self.

"The Glamour" Mariah May retains the AEW Women's World Championship against Mina Shirakawa. Thunder Rosa is seen in the front row with a signing saying "You are not my champ!" After the match, Toni Storm - no longer "Timeless" - shows up for the first time since All In.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for November 6, 2024

Tony Schiavone interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley) in the ring to start tonight's show. MVP kicks Schiavone out of the ring, then introduces The Hurt Syndicate to the crowd before stating that they are here to enrich the lives of younger talent and bring them to their full potential much like they did for each other, and if one should be offered a business card, that card will be their golden ticket to success. If they accept it, it will change their life; if they reject it, they get a beatdown. He says they wanted to help Swerve Strickland, but Swerve wanted to make an enemy out of them. Swerve shows up with a chain wrapped around his hand while four referees and Prince Nana hold him back, and Nana hands Swerve the microphone. Swerve simply says "Bobby Lashley...Full Gear." MVP says "We'll see you there, kid."



We see a video package of the events leading to Orange Cassidy vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at Full Gear.

Before the next match, Orange Cassidy leads The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and PAC) - now known as The Death Riders - towards the stage, where Darby Allin dives at them from the top of the entrance tunnel.

The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and PAC) vs. Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin ends in a no-contest. During the match, Wheeler Yuta slides into the ring only to eat an Orange Punch, then Marina Shafir gets in the ring and boots referee Bryce Remsburg in the head, knocking him out of the ring. This leads to Jon Moxley getting in the ring and putting Orange in a sleeper hold, and Darby Allin smacks Moxley in the back with his skateboard. At this point, the bell rings as officials try to restore order and Darby Allin hits everyone in The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio, PAC, Yuta, Shafir) with a skateboard before getting clocked with a European Uppercut and thrown into the ring post by Claudio. The Death Riders then gang up on Orange in the ring before holding him down for a Busaiku Knee by Yuta. The rest of The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Kyle O'Reilly, Tomohiro Ishii, Rocky "Azucar" Romero) show up to chase The Death Riders out of the ring and check on Orange while medical staff checks on Darby.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Ricochet. Ricochet says he can pick anyone in AEW while everyone in AEW has a problem with Don Callis' family, and as much as he wants to tell her, he has to keep it a secret for later tonight. The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley) shows up to wish him good luck. Ricochet says "Watch me work," to which MVP replies "We will."

The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Kyle O'Reilly, Tomohiro Ishii) beat The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) in a Fight Without Honor.



Backstage, The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) leave the arena. Moxley says that Wheeler Yuta owes Orange Cassidy nothing for everything he has done for him, saying that only a cause, not money, buys loyalty. He says that Yuta is not Orange's friend or student, but a soldier under his command. Moxley says he had high hopes for Darby Allin, but he is a disappointment. He says there is a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to destroy and a time to build, and asks what season they are in, then says it is time to stop playing at the thing that should be taken seriously.

Adam Cole beats Malakai Black. After the match, it is revealed that Kyle O'Reilly has watched the match from backstage while being checked on by a trainer. Both Cole and Malakai show good sportsmanship after the match. Afterwards, Cole calls Malakai one of the best he has ever fought in his sixteen-year career and thanks him, then addresses MJF, saying that is two down and one more to go, and says Roderick Strong has to win two more matches and that those matches will be won. He says MJF thinks he put roadblocks in their paths, but he has talked to Tony Khan, who has said that when he and Roddy both get three wins, it will be MJF vs. Adam Cole vs. Roderick Strong in a Triple Threat Match, and that MJF will get the ass-kicking of a lifetime courtesy of Undisputed Kingdom (Cole, Roderick, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett).



We hear from a furious MJF at his own home. MJF makes a phone call, and tells the person on the other end to pay someone a visit.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Switchblade" Jay White, who is attacked by "Hangman" Adam Page while addressing what Hangman will do to him. This leads to a brawl near the stage, and Hangman traps Switchblade's leg in the barricade. As Hangman is about to injure Switchblade's leg, "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson runs out and grabs the chair, causing Hangman to ultimately retreat. Switchblade tells Hangman not to run away again, then tells him he will beat beat, embarrass and dismantle him while he and the fans have fun as he does it. He says Hangman has never been ahead of him and never will be, and at Full Gear, Hangman's leg will work against him when he makes him tap out.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kris Statlander, who says that Mercedes Moné cannot change the fact that she will become the next TBS Champion. All of a sudden, screeeching tires can be heard, and it is revealed that Kris Statlander may have been struck by the vehicle, which is manned by "The Brickhouse" Kamille while Mercedes sits in the passenger seat demanding that Kamille get Statlander while chastising her for missing her with the car and not being able to do anything right. Statlander loops around and goes after Mercedes, and Kamille saves Mercedes before brawling with Statlander. Statlander hurts Kamille's arm with the car door, then slams Mercedes on the hood of the car before being held back by security.

The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Kip Sabian, Mama Wayne) head to the ring. Three men clad in all-black tactical gear stand between the ramp and the ring. Christian says he has security for everyone's protection as he speaks with Hook, then formally welcomes Kip Sabian into The Patriarchy, then explains that he realized Kip Sabian just wanted his attention as he is "a fatherless loser looking for some guidance," with the stand-out moment being when he chased him to the back only to encounter Claudio Castagnoli and PAC. Christian reveals that Kip Sabian had the foresight to realize what was happen, as he knew that they would interfere in his title match, and thanks to Sabian, his still has his contract that allows him to become the next AEW World Champion. Christian commends Kip Sabian for doing more for him than his other sons have ever done, then looks down at Nick Wayne while telling Sabian that he loves him. Suddenly, Hook shows up and demands that Christian make whatever he has to say him both good and fast, as he does not have much patience. Christian says Hook is a wild card with crazy eyes, that he is a bull in a china shop and that he is an ass kicker, and tells him that he needs a son like him and that he needed to know that he could be disciplined to fall in line. He also realized that if he wanted him as a son, he could not have the other voice in his ear, which was Taz, and admits that he did this out of a place of love and caring. Christian admits he hit Taz in the knee and leg with a pipe, and says that Taz asked Hook to seek out security footage of the attack because he knew that he could take him to heights that even he could not imagine. Christian says that Taz is a legend in the business and the face of "an outlaw promotion," and when he got onto the big stage, he buckled under the pressure and became a commentator. Christian then asks Hook if he wants to be an announcer like his father or a revered multiple-time World Champion like him, then says he regrets not taking what he did with Taz further because nobody in the arena cares if Taz is alive. Christian tells Hook he needs him, and he wishes to his face that his father Taz was dead. Hook charges through security and fights both Sabian and Christina, but Christian's security catches up to him. Hook makes quick work of Christian's security and puts Redrum on one of them. Christian smiles, liking what he sees as The Patriarchy retreats.



Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Don Callis, who is approached a man who gives him an enveloped. Callis then hands him a red jewelery box and provides a message from MJF, who asks Don Callis to take care of Adam Cole for him, and if he gets the job done, there is another envelope of cash coming his way. He also warns Callis that if he scratches up the ring, there will be more men in suits waiting to scratch him up, too. Don Callis then looks inside the jewelry box, and inside is the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

Fright Night Dynamite - Dynamite recap for October 30, 2024

We see a vignette from The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir), but it is soon stopped by Orange Cassidy, who enters the ring to start tonight's show. Orange says he has had enough, then says he does not do this because it is not who he is, and says he is no leader. He then says that after last week, when he watched Chuck Taylor get his neck crushed with a chair and looked around, he was surrounded by people who he should have been. He says he admires their courage and admits they are talented, but they are also very young. He says he was surrounded by the future of AEW. Orange says he have no idea of the danger they are in and how dangerous Jon Moxley is, and he knows what he needs to do. He says that if Moxley has his way, there is no future in AEW, and the young talent has nowhere to go. He says Moxley never needed AEW, but he does, as he does not exist without it, and without it, there is no "us." He says that he must cut the head of the snake and that he must do it alone, then challenges Moxley for the AEW World Championship. He says that he will take the symbol of what AEW represents from Moxley and put it in his backpack, then tells Moxley he is not hard to find.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné and "The Brickhouse" Kamille. Mercedes says that Kris Statlander does not hold a candle to Kamille.

Adam Cole beats Buddy Matthews in his first match in 14 months as Kyle O'Reilly watches backstage and MJF watches from his home in a match where Buddy says that the old Adam Cole would not walk away while "the new Adam Cole...is a little bitch." After the match, Cole tells Buddy that he appreciates reminding him who the real Adam Cole is, and thanks him. Both men shake hands in the middle of the ring, then the lights go out. When they come back on, Adam is suddenly shaking hands with Malakai Black, with Buddy standing between them.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) and Interim Executive Vice President Christopher Daniels. Daniels says he and Frankie Kazarian were in the same position three years ago, and he let Kazarian down. Daniels says Private Party can be champions, but The Young Bucks (Matthews and Nicholas Jackson) will do anything and everything to keep their titles. Marq Quen says they know the risks, and Isiah Kassidy says they will be leaving tag team champions.

Backstage, Adam Cole says Buddy Matthews gave him one of the toughest matches of career and that Malakai Black is now on his radar. He then addresses MJF, saying that while his ankle is not the same, he does not blame MJF for that or not visiting when he was injured, but he blames him for thinking their friendship would ever work. He mentions what MJF has done to be others and that he refused to be MJF's next victim, and that Undisputed Kingdom had to teach him a lesson. He says that they care about AEW and what it was built on and meant to be, saying MJF was never part of that and that he will get his hands on him at Full Gear and teach him another lesson.



Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher appear on the stage. Fletcher says he is here to stand face-to-face with Will Ospreay, then introduces him to the stage only for Ospreay to not show up. Fletcher then says he is disappointed Ospreay did not show up, but all of a sudden, Mark Davis shows up. Mark Davis says he wishes he could be happy to see Fletcher, but he is disappointed with what is going on between Fletcher and Ospreay and that he does not know who he is looking at. Fletcher says Don Callis has helped him see the truth and what Will Ospreay really thought of him, and says Ospreay kept the two of them in his back pocket and has forgotten about them. He says he has not forgotten about Mark Davis and that this day would come, and when it did, Davis would have a spot in the family. Davis says they had an empire, but Fletcher destroyed it. As Davis leaves, Fletcher says there will soon come a day where Davis will have to make a hard decision, and that he has no problem cutting the past loose.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page. Hangman talks about how "Switchblade" Jay White entered this year's Owen Hart Tournament, and says it was him, not Christian Cage, who hurt him so bad that he spent three months at home. He admits that Switchblade may have the upper hand on him, then tells Switchblade that there is no such thing as redemption for either of them and that there is only wins and losses and the consequences that will follow. Hangman says he knows Switchblade will go for his leg, but Switchblade does not know what he will do to him, and that when he beats him at Full Gear, he will stand over him and leave him hurt with less than they had before and left behind like everyone else who stepped up to him.



Backstage, The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir) are seen heading to the ring.

The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir) heads to the ring. Jon Moxley says he does not expect Orange Cassidy or anyone else to appreciate what they are doing, but one day, they will understand. Moxley addresses Orange challenging him, then says he challenged Orange when he had Chuck Taylor's neck broken and cut distractions and dead weight from his life so he could focus on his goals. He says that the locker room chose Orange as their leader when Orange did not want to leave, then says that the locker room is happy with their paychecks thinking they are something they are not. He says he has pushed Orange, but he is not ready to walk through the shadow of the valley of death. He says that if Orange wants to face him, that is fine, but he will face him on the valley and not the mountaintop, as it is the valley he is willing to die in. Moxley addresses Orange's willingness to do everything on his own so that others do not get hurt, then decides to test that theory by using Wheeler Yuta as a guinea pig. PAC and Marina hold Wheeler down so that Claudio can wrap a chair around Wheeler's neck, and Orange rushes in and fights Moxley. Orange is soon held down so that Wheeler Yuta can stomp him, and The Dark Order (Evil Uno, John Silver, Alex Reynolds) shows up to help Orange only to get taken out. PAC then wraps a chair around Orange's head, but Darby Allin comes down from the rafters Sting-style and fights Claudio, but The Blackpool Combat Club continues to overpower everyone. Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin), Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy), Action Andretti and Daniel Garcia soon show up, and The Blackpool Combat Club retreats as they get the upper hand. As this goes on, The Young Bucks (Matthews and Nicholas Jackson) head to the ring for their match.



Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) beat The Young Bucks (Matthews and Nicholas Jackson) to become the AEW World Tag Team Champions, even after a Tombstone Piledriver on the stage by "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. After the match, The Young Bucks hand the tag titles to Private Party personally.



Orange Cassidy vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship is official for Full Gear.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Penelope Ford and Jamie Hayter in a no-physicality meeting. Penelope says she has been here since day one and everyone has forgotten who she is and what she has done for AEW, and that she will take what she deserves from Hayter. Hayter says Penelope took an opportunity from her, and that next week, she will mop the floor with her.

The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) is on the stage. Big Bill says that teamwork makes the dream work, but the dream will not work unless the team works together. Chris Jericho says Ladder War IX will be remembered for a long time after he became a two-time Ring of Honor World Champion like Jay Briscoe and a nine-time world champion, and says he would not have done it without The Learning Tree and its branches. After almost accidentally calling Cleveland, Ohio "Cincinatti" and plugging Terrifier 3, he says that he will take ROH to the biggest stage and success it has ever seen. He says that to underestimate him is to overestimate the business. Bryan Keith says "Never understimate Chris Jericho, you dumbasses!" before Jericho tells everyone to enjoy the ride as they and ROH get taken to heights they have never seen before.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Kyle O'Reilly, Tomohiro Ishii). Mark Briscoe says the ROH World Championship meant a lot to him, and that Chris Jericho does not care about his well-being. He says the word of the day is "instability," which he says Jericho has a lot of, and that Jericho only got the win because he had The Learning Tree (Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Kyle O'Reilly says The Learning Tree has no honor, and says they should have a Match Without Honor.

Backstage, Interim Executive Vice President catches up to The Young Bucks as they leave to work from home, saying AEW needs them. Brandon Cutler is left behind with a box of shoes before The Blackpool Combat Club catch up and attack him. When Daniels intervenes, Moxley holds him down as PAC and Shafir torture Cutler before Claudio hits Cutler in the hand with a hammer.

Swerve Strickland beats Shelton Benjamin. MVP is seen on his phone after the match, saying "I need you. I need you now." The lights soon go out everywhere except in the ring, then Bobby Lashley shows up. Bobby Lashley and MVP hug before stepping into the ring, and Lashley and Swerve have a staredown in the middle of the ring. Shelton gets in the ring, and the distraction is enough for Lashley to strike. Shelton joins in as MVP chokes Prince Nana with his cane. Lashley choke slams Swerve, then puts him in the Hurt Lock after Shelton hits Prince Nana with a big boot. Referees run in, but MVP keeps them at bay with his cane, and security gets in only to get leveled. MVP then says "Guess who's back in business?"

After the match, Luchasaurus and Christian Cage show up on the video screen. Christian says Darby is ready for a match for the TNT Championship, but says he has a distraction in AR Fox and that he cannot be distracted, especially when the TNT title is more prestigious than ever.

We see a video package for Hikaru Shida vs. Toni Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship next week at Dynamite 200.

Samoa Joe beats Gravity.



Tony Schiavone interviews CM Punk in the ring. Punk says there has been a lot going on in AEW, especially on Collision, that nobody wants to meet head-on. While he does not know if he will be wrestling at All In in Wembley Stadium in London, he does know that "Absolute" Ricky Starks has beaten him twice. He admits that he has been disappointed by how Ricky Starks has beaten him out of late and has confused his kindness for weakness even after having to cheat to beat him twice, then says that he has been left holding the bag. He then says that the truth does not care if one is right or wrong and that he is the champion as he pulls an AEW World Championship belt out of his bag and states that he has never been beaten for the belt that still has his blood on it from last September. Punk then spray paints a big black X on the center plate of the championship belt, stating the X has defined him and the foundation he has built his career on since 1997, then says he is straight edge and "better than you." He says that the belt is staying with him and on Collision, then states that he is "the real World's Champion." Ricky Starks then shows up, demands an entrance, then comes out to his entrance theme and says that while this was a great story Punk told, he is low on gold right now and that Punk would have beaten him the same way he beat him. He then says that he wants Punk's World Championship after having beaten him twice and becoming the face of Collision, for whatever Punk has is his. Punk asks Ricky if he is the face of Collision or the face of cheating, but Ricky says Stevie Wonder could be the referee and he would still beat him. Punk then says it sounds like Ricky Starks wants a title shot, which leads to "Take his title!" and "CM Punk!" chants, then says that if he were to wrestle Ricky again, he will need some extra eyes around here. Ricky says it does not care who Punk brings, because if he beat Punk once, he can do it twice. Punk says he anticipated this and made some phone calls, and that there will be a special guest referee who is someone from his past. Punk then asks if Ricky wants a shot at his title, to which Ricky states that he absolutely wants it. Both men shake hands, then Punk has Tony Schiavone tell Ricky that the special guest referee is Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

Chris Jericho heads to the ring. Jericho says it is a little bittersweet in tonight's venue, as over the last few months, he has had a lot of big losses to his name and things have not gone the way he has wanted them to. He says it is time to re-evaluate a few things and make a couple of changes, and that Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is the perfect place to be reinvigorated as it is the place where he started his pro wrestling career. He says it seems like only yesterday that he started training with Stu Hart down the road, and he also had his first match in the neighboring town of Ponoka. He talks about his drive to tonight's arena and how he remembered what it is like when he first starting wrestling and how the passion and the fire was everything to him. Jericho then says that wrestling is still everything to him, and that he feels "reinvigorated and resurrected" and that it is time to become not just "a better Chris Jericho," but "the best Chris Jericho ever." Suddenly, Don Callis shows up, and he mentions how six years ago to this very day, he called him from a hotel in Tokyo and asked him to main event the Tokyo Dome with Kenny Omega, which Jericho surprisingly accepted. He says that the match changed the course of wrestling history, and without, there would be no AEW and nobody would be here right now. Jericho talks about how he helped him back into professional wrestling in 2015 to escape a miserable international career and get him into AEW, and says that without him, there would be no Don Callis in AEW. Callis says that as with most things in their friendship, he is in agreement, and that when the two of them get together, they make history. Callis then talks about "a coward punk" named Kenny Omega betrayed him and forced him to build a new family based on trust after Omega destroyed the old, and when he thinks about trust, he thinks of Chris Jericho, whom he calls "the greatest of all time" and his "best friend." Callis then asks Jericho if he wants to join "the Don Callis family" and change history one more time, and Jericho asks Callis if he is seriously asking him to do this before saying he creates factions, not joins them, before telling Callis "Maybe." Jericho then leaves the ring.



We see a video package for CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe in the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament later this week on Collision.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Doc Sampson and Roderick Strong in the trainer's room. Roderick is making progress, but that there will be a little bit of time before he can get back in action, despite Roderick saying that he feels great. Adam Cole shows up and tells Roderick Strong to take care of himself and that he has all the time in the world. When Roderick asks about MJF, Adam Cole tells Roderick to worry about ihmself and not him or MJF before getting a text from MJF asking if he is ready to hit the double clothesline.

MJF and Adam Cole beat The Butcher and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard to advance the Blind Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament (despite not hitting the double clothesline).
