Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 31, 2026
"Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty retains the ROH Pure Championship against Angelico.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and Bandido. Nick Wayne wants respect on his name, much to the annoyance of Bandido, who says that Nick Wayne has no honor and that he has been a champion longer than Nick Wayne has ever been. Nick Wayne says talent, not honor, wins championships, and that he will become the youngest and greatest ROH World Champion the world has ever seen. Bandido tells Nick Wayne he will get his shot at Death Before Dishonor, where he will show him why he is "the most wanted."
Emi Sakura beats Viva Van.
Backstage, Sam Letourneau interviews The Kingdom (Matthew Taven and Michael Bennett), who find out that their personalized AI Sparta that they have been on an unbelievable winning streak since returning to ROH, but so have Bustah and the Brain (Alec Price and Jordan Oliver), who they have beaten. They then find out that they have an 87% chance of winning with their tag team partners, Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Gibson says they are in dire need of a victory, then tells them not to let their phones get in the way, as they do not trust AI and they do not trust them. He then tells The Kingdom not to mess this up.
Diamanté beats Allie Katch. After the match, Diamanté continues to attack Allie Katch until Queen Aminata runs to the ring.
Caprice Coleman chops it up with Shane Taylor. Shane Taylor takes offense to comments made by Coleman during his recent interview with "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty in which he called what Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, Trish Adora, Christyana XO) does "gangsta activity," stating that what he does for him and his crew is good business just like anyone else doing it; for that, Coleman apologizes. Shane Taylor talks about how he has laid Jon Moxley out three times and how nobody has taken the fight to The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) like Shane Taylor Promotions. On the topic of where Shane Taylor Promotions is going, Shane Taylor says he enjoys finding "diamonds in the rough" and that everyone who comes to him becomes a superstar and a champion and reaches the level of success that they dreamed about when they entered the industry. He says that he is looking for heart and conviction, and wants to be able to trust that those he looks for are loyal to their goals, saying that those who are will be able to get everyone to where they want to be. Taylor says that he has not let wrestling change who he is and that while the money, the championships and the legacy are cool, he still has to be his father's son. He says that one must be true to one's self when it comes to the business and cannot lose who they are.
AR Fox beats Soleil.
Backstage, we hear from Athena. Athena says it is hard enough just being herself before listing off her ROH accomplishments and everyone trying to live like her when they have done nothing to prove themselves. She says that Hazuki not only cost her money, but got the gleam of her championship, and at Death Before Dishonor, she will do what nobody expects her to do and actually bet on Hazuki, because the odds are so stacked against her that she will be a multi-millionaire by the end of the match even if Hazuki pulls off a miracle, and that Hazuki will learn that no man can touch her reign and no woman can stand against her legacy, and that all of her supporters can get over it.
Steph De Lander beats Rachael Ellering in a Pure Rules Match after shoving referee Mike Posey out of the way in order to get away with punching Ellering in the face with a second closed fist.
In backstage footage from after last night's Collision, Juice Robinson shows off the sweat he worked up before announcing he is coming to Ring of Honor to see how much of a wrestler he is and calling out Anthony Henry for a one-on-one match.
Trish Adora beats Angelica Risk.
Backstage, we hear from Steph De Lander. She says that it has been a while and things have changed, and that she is the best pure wrestler in ROH and that "The Virtuousa" Deonna Purrazo knows that. De Lander demands a shot at the ROH Women's Pure Championship and that Purrazzo will put the title on the line if she is the fighting championship she says she is, saying that Purrazzo has been sitting pretty for far too long simply because she did not show up. De Lander then states that "ROH is SDL."
Julissa Mexa beats Vertvixen.
Backstage, we hear from Nigel McGuiness. He says that life is about timing and that nobody knows that better than him, as he earned a shot at the ROH Pure Championship at Supercard of Honor and that he will take his shot at Death Before Dishonor. He says that the last two times he faced "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty under Pure Rules and in an Iron Man Match, Moriarty beat him, and if he cannot do it after three attempts, he should never challenge for the Pure title again. He then says that if he cannot beat Moriarty at Death Before Dishonor, he will never wrestle in ROH again.
Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) and The Kingdom (Matthew Taven and Michael Bennett) beat The Von Erichs (Marshall and Ross Von Erich) and Busta and the Brain (Alec Price and Jordan Oliver) in an eight-man tag match after Taven nearly pulls the referee out of the ring, allowing Grizzled Young Veterans to hit low blows on The Von Erichs for the win.
"The Real Deal" Zayda Steel beats Sara Leon by submission with an Indian Deathlock.
Backstage, Sam Letourneau interviews "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo says she has yet to back down in her open challenge, and if Steph De Lander wants to challenge her for the Women's Pure Championship and claim she is the best pure wrestler in ROH, she will accept De Lander's challenge despite no evidence towards De Lander's claim of being the best. She says that regardless of who steps in the ring with her, the outcome remains the same.
Juice Robinson beats Anthony Henry.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and Bandido. Nick Wayne wants respect on his name, much to the annoyance of Bandido, who says that Nick Wayne has no honor and that he has been a champion longer than Nick Wayne has ever been.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 10, 2025
"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson is now a member of the commentary team. Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.
"Hangman" Adam Page beats "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander after fending off Lance Archer and Rocky "Azucar" Romero as Don Callis distracts the referee. After the match, Hangman says he did not spill a gallon of his blood to win the AEW World Championship only to have MJF change the stipulations of his matches and have every opponent have someone like Don Callis with them. He says the most important word of "All Elite Wrestling" is "wrestling," which is what he plans to do as AEW World Champion. Suddenly, Don Callis returns with "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher says Hangman's sentiment is lovely, but says it does not matter, for while Hangman holds the title, The Don Callis Family runs AEW. He also mentions that he is awaiting an answer to his proposal. Hangman says Fletcher is lucky after what he did last week, and says that if he wants to speak to him, then he needs to get in the ring and look him in the eyes as he does it. Callis allows Fletcher to enter the ring, and Hangman tells Fletcher that he sees potential in him, yet he cannot put on his socks. He also admits that above all else, he sees himself six years ago standing across the ring from Chris Jericho hoping to be World Champion, but after last week, he is not ready. Fletcher says he has heard this all before and that he decides when his prime is, saying it begins right now and will continue for as long as he pleases. He says he is ready to be a World Champion right now. Hangman tells Fletcher that if he truly wants this, he will give him a shot at the AEW World Championship at All Out. At the same time, he must do it himself and earn it, leave Don Callis behind, and find some socks. Fletcher says he does not need anyone to beat him, and while it will be man-to-man at All Out, he will be leaving with the AEW World Championship and will not fail like Hangman has before.
In backstage footage from Collision, MJF says that he hates Mark Briscoe so much that he dictated that the honeymoon with his newly married wife would not start until Mark Briscoe was dead, and after what he did to Mark, he will accept any stipulation thrown at him.
In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) in catering. The Young Bucks look forward to spending the money for tonight's main event on DoorDashing and casinos. After The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, John Silver) refuses to let The Young Bucks sit with them, they run into Brandon Cutler, who tells them to shut up before leaving. Jon Moxley then shows up and clears the table and tells The Young Bucks that nothing has changed, and tells them to show up to win.
Alex Windsor and Riho beat Mercedes Moné and Emi Sakura by submission with a single leg Boston Crab from Riho to Sakura.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Ricochet and Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). Ricochet says that The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) are cowards who love to play the numbers game, and proposes that he and MVP handle things in the ring with their seconds in the back before he and Gates of Agony embarrass The Hurt Syndicate one more time.
Stokely Hathaway and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring. Stokely says that their match at All Out is going to be a fight that FTR is going to win. He says that the fans look like "extras from Roseanne" and that none of them get any hoes. Dax Harwood says this could and should have been a dream match, then dares anybody in the crowd to fight him. As FTR mouths off at a fan, they soon jump a cameraman and a member of security, and referees have to run in to restore order.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) and mentions Ricochet's "gentleman's agreement." Shelton says that if Ricochet can be trusted to leave his men in the back, then he will face him solo and put him on his back.
Ricochet beats Shelton Benjamin after Shelton takes Ricochet's scissors and rips them in half only for Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) to get involved, allowing Ricochet to win with a schoolkid pin. After the match, MVP and Bobby Lashley show up and brawl with Gates of Agony, and Shelton superkicks Ricochet. Security rushes in to restore order.
We hear from Hook, who says that he is cool with Samoa Joe and The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) having his back. He says that his being replaced is what it is, then says it is time to stand on his own...or maybe not.
Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher. Callis says he has such faith in Fletcher and knows he will take the AEW World Championship home. Fletcher says they will have their hands on the AEW World Championship once again.
"Timeless" Toni Storm beats Skye Blue in a Philadelphia Street Fight. After the match, Toni is attacked by Julia Hart and "The Toxic Spider" Thekla before Kris Statlander runs into the ring and fights them. Jamie Hayter runs into the ring to even the numbers game, but inadvertently takes out Statlander. Thekla then hits Toni with a Spear.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Willow Nightingale. Willow says she tries to stand up for the good and says there are those who don't get it and need to be punched in the face, such as Marina Shafir. Harley Cameron shows up with a guitar and wants Willow on her team while also mentioning Willow's former friendship with Kris Statlander. Willow says that she and Statlander will never be friends again, and tells Harley to be careful who she is friends with and to watch her back.
Before the next match, The Young Bucks' (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) entrance and chyron consists of their real names as well as some unflattering pictures of themselves as the original Dynamite theme plays.
The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli) beat The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) and Brodido (Bandido and Brody King) in a $500,000 10-Man Tag Match after The Young Bucks counter the 21-Plex and use the ropes for leverage. After the match, Brodido attack The Young Bucks and take their brawl to the back while The Deather Riders attack The Opps. As this goes on, Darby Allin runs into the ring and beats up Moxley when he is suddenly attacked from behind by Daniel Garcia in a black hoodie. Marina Shafir then allows Daniel Garcia the honor of curb stomping Darby Allin into a metal folding chair while the fans chant "Fuck you, Danny!" At Moxley's behest, Garcia does it a second time before going for a ground and pound on Darby until Moxley and Shafir tell him to stop.
"Hangman" Adam Page beats "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander after fending off Lance Archer and Rocky "Azucar" Romero as Don Callis distracts the referee. After the match, Hangman says he did not spill a gallon of his blood to win the AEW World Championship only to have MJF change the stipulations of his matches and have every opponent have someone like Don Callis with them.

Collision Course - Collision recap for December 7, 2024
Darby Allin beats Komander by pinfall in the Gold League of the Continental Classic to earn three points. Darby Allin is now on the board with three points. Komander still has zero points.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Callis says business has been booming when Powerhouse Hobbs shows up. Hobbs says that Callis forgot about him when he was injured, then tells Takeshita that he wants the International Championship as he starts to take everything away from everyone in The Don Callis Family. Callis says Hobbs deserves a shot and mentions that Takeshita has a lot of international defenses, and that he will get back with him. Hobbs grabs Callis and demands that he actually get back with him.
Willow Nightingale beats Serena Deeb in a Wrestle Dynasty International Women's Cup qualifier semi-final match.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Thunder Rosa. She says that she beat "The Glamour" Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa the last time she faced both of them and that she deserve a shot at whoever is AEW Women's World Champion next week. She says Mina is an exceptional wrestler and athlete and that it would be an honor to be in the ring with her, but as for Mariah, it will be so much fun to beat her until she cries. She says the women's division is alive and well and as long as the fans believe in her, she will fight until she wins the Women's World title again. She then wishes the women's division good luck, as they are going to need it.
The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, PAC) head to the ring. Moxley says a lot of people do not want to be AEW World Champion and only think and say that they do when they really do not. He says those people are not ready to make the sacrifice, shoulder the burden and put themselves in harm's way; instead, they want to take pictures with it and wear it on their weight when they are not even ready. He says that "Switchblade" Jay White, while one hell of a competitor that he respects, is a child who does not the first thing about what it takes to be champion. Moxley also calls "Hangman" Adam Page self-destructive, miserable and insecure to the point that he will play himself out of the game before he even sniffs another world championship. He then brings up Orange Cassidy, saying he was not the guy his peers hoped he was and that he was not the one foretold in the prophecy as he did not have what it took to get the job done. Moxley admits he regrets letting Orange leave with his skull intact, then tells Orange and the rest of the world that the business is full of pretend talkers and that he means what he says and that if Orange pisses him off one more time, he will take him off the board for good. Suddenly, Orange Cassidy shows up and says he can live without ever being the World Champion, but cannot live with Moxley as the World Champion, and that he will never stop and will do what it takes to ensure Moxley is not World Champion. He then tells Moxley that he will only stop if he kills him, then throws the microphone and his sunglasses at Moxley, and throws his jacket as Wheeler, and throws his shirt at PAC. Shafir hits Orange in the back with her briefcase before The Death Riders go on the attack. Moxley gouges Orange's eyes, then The Death Riders carry Orange off to the back.
Backstage, we hear from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Cash Wheeler says that for the better part of ten years, FTR has fought to be the best tag team in history, then Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, and now, they fight for the fallen. Dax says that they will be spearheading Fight For The Fallen, then FTR hear a metal pipe clanging as they look in the distance to see The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, PAC) attack Orange Cassidy by almost pouring what looks like a cleaner into Orange's mouth. The bottle is slapped out of Moxley's hands by Cash Wheeler as FTR confronts The Death Riders, who soon retreat.
"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada by pinfall after hitting a low blow that the referee cannot see as he tries to protect himself after Okada whips Fletcher into the corner, nearly sandwiching the referee. "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher earns three points and takes the lead in the Blue League with nine points, while "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada is still tied for second with four points.
The Beast Mortos beats Aaron Solo.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, Leila Grey), Action Andretti and Lio Rush. Leila wants to know why everyone else is not on the same page and that Action Andretti and Lio Rush do not care if they are part of a team. Andretti says it is a battle royal and that they are "every man for themselves," and Darius wants to know why he kept Lio along for the ride. He says they were supposed to win gold as a team, but Andretti and Lio made it about them. Lio says it happened when Darius and Dante kept losing every opportunity, then says it is time for him and Andretti to chase the tag team titles. Dante says Andretti and Lio did not have to step on their toes to get there, but Lio says it needed to happen. This leads to an argument that Leila has to stop, and she says that if they need to fight, they should not do it here. Andretti says they should settle this in the ring, and Lio agrees before everyone walks away.
Mina Shirakawa beats Emi Sakura, with the referee being caught in the crossfire - but not hurt - near the end. Thunder Rosa is seen in the front row during the match.
We see a video package chronicling the friendship between "The Glamour" Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa, narrated by Renee Paquette.
In backstage footage from last night, Renee Paquette interviews Mark Briscoe and Daniel Garcia. Mark says that this time is year is tough for a lot of people, and for two years in a row, he has zero wins, and feels like he is not applying himself, which he plans on doing on Collision. He says there are no hard feelings, but he must beat Garcia. Garcia compliments Mark for being positive, but he is doing the same thing, and if he wins, he will be the leader of the Blue League. He says that he has to win this match and knock him down.
Mark Briscoe beats Daniel Garcia via pinfall in the Blue League of the Continental Classic and scores three points. Mark Briscoe earns three points. Mark Briscoe is finally on the board with three points. Daniel Garcia still has four points.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Callis says business has been booming when Powerhouse Hobbs shows up.

Callis says Hobbs deserves a shot and mentions that Takeshita has a lot of international defenses, and that he will get back with him. Hobbs grabs Callis and demands that he actually get back with him.
Willow Nightingale beats Serena Deeb in a Wrestle Dynasty International Women's Cup qualifier semi-final match.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Thunder Rosa. She says that she beat "The Glamour" Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa the last time she faced both of them and that she deserve a shot at whoever is AEW Women's World Champion next week. She says Mina is an exceptional wrestler and athlete and that it would be an honor to be in the ring with her, but as for Mariah, it will be so much fun to beat her until she cries. She says the women's division is alive and well and as long as the fans believe in her, she will fight until she wins the Women's World title again. She then wishes the women's division good luck, as they are going to need it.
The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, PAC) head to the ring. Moxley says a lot of people do not want to be AEW World Champion and only think and say that they do when they really do not. He says those people are not ready to make the sacrifice, shoulder the burden and put themselves in harm's way; instead, they want to take pictures with it and wear it on their weight when they are not even ready. He says that "Switchblade" Jay White, while one hell of a competitor that he respects, is a child who does not the first thing about what it takes to be champion. Moxley also calls "Hangman" Adam Page self-destructive, miserable and insecure to the point that he will play himself out of the game before he even sniffs another world championship. He then brings up Orange Cassidy, saying he was not the guy his peers hoped he was and that he was not the one foretold in the prophecy as he did not have what it took to get the job done. Moxley admits he regrets letting Orange leave with his skull intact, then tells Orange and the rest of the world that the business is full of pretend talkers and that he means what he says and that if Orange pisses him off one more time, he will take him off the board for good. Suddenly, Orange Cassidy shows up and says he can live without ever being the World Champion, but cannot live with Moxley as the World Champion, and that he will never stop and will do what it takes to ensure Moxley is not World Champion. He then tells Moxley that he will only stop if he kills him, then throws the microphone and his sunglasses at Moxley, and throws his jacket as Wheeler, and throws his shirt at PAC. Shafir hits Orange in the back with her briefcase before The Death Riders go on the attack. Moxley gouges Orange's eyes, then The Death Riders carry Orange off to the back.
Backstage, we hear from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Cash Wheeler says that for the better part of ten years, FTR has fought to be the best tag team in history, then Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, and now, they fight for the fallen. Dax says that they will be spearheading Fight For The Fallen, then FTR hear a metal pipe clanging as they look in the distance to see The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, PAC) attack Orange Cassidy by almost pouring what looks like a cleaner into Orange's mouth. The bottle is slapped out of Moxley's hands by Cash Wheeler as FTR confronts The Death Riders, who soon retreat.
"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada by pinfall after hitting a low blow that the referee cannot see as he tries to protect himself after Okada whips Fletcher into the corner, nearly sandwiching the referee. "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher earns three points and takes the lead in the Blue League with nine points, while "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada is still tied for second with four points.
The Beast Mortos beats Aaron Solo.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, Leila Grey), Action Andretti and Lio Rush. Leila wants to know why everyone else is not on the same page and that Action Andretti and Lio Rush do not care if they are part of a team. Andretti says it is a battle royal and that they are "every man for themselves," and Darius wants to know why he kept Lio along for the ride. He says they were supposed to win gold as a team, but Andretti and Lio made it about them. Lio says it happened when Darius and Dante kept losing every opportunity, then says it is time for him and Andretti to chase the tag team titles. Dante says Andretti and Lio did not have to step on their toes to get there, but Lio says it needed to happen. This leads to an argument that Leila has to stop, and she says that if they need to fight, they should not do it here. Andretti says they should settle this in the ring, and Lio agrees before everyone walks away.
Mina Shirakawa beats Emi Sakura, with the referee being caught in the crossfire - but not hurt - near the end. Thunder Rosa is seen in the front row during the match.

Title Tuesday - Dynamite recap for October 8, 2024
We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson has been trying to "kamikaze" himself for the last two years and that it has been disconcerting to watch. He says that nobody as of yet possesses the constitution to do it for him, and that as things have turned it up, it has to be him. He says that this is a wake-up call for AEW that nothing lasts forever, and that the fans are living in a fantasy world and will see the truth at WrestleDream. He says there is a dark side to Danielson, saying that Danielson in the ring is a beautiful thing, but when he is provoked, he is truly terrifying. Moxley says Danielson has never been truly comfortable with that part of him, and that as his world closes in around him, he will truly embrace his dark side, and he will be ready. Moxley says there is not enough people in the state of Washington to stop him and what he stands for, as The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta) is too powerful and no weapon can be formed against them. He says he will run into the mouth of war and beyond, and warns everyone to run while they can. Moxley then says that he hopes Danielson understands that it has to be this way, then says he cannot be worried about that now because they stakes are too high.
We hear from "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, who says that tonight will not be his last match on Dynamite when he and Wheeler Yuta run through Claudio Castagnoli and PAC, and that Moxley that he has no idea of what is coming to him at WrestleDream. He says he has been a supporter and friend of Claudio for over twenty years, but tonight, there will be support; only him "kicking [his] fucking head in."
Jeff Jarrett guests on commentary this week.
Darby Allin calls out Brody King. Darby says Brody could have asked nicely, but he knows what he is doing. He brings up their history on the independents, the point that Brody King was at in his career while he was signed to All Elite Wrestle, and how he got Brody a job in AEW after ROH shut down. He says that Brody does not take AEW for granted much like he does, saying that both of their fathers retired and he was able to buy his parents a house. He then says Brody wants his spot as the face of the company, and says that he made it in AEW when he was the guy who was not supposed to make it. Brody says Darby is right, as he has everything he wants, but he does not take it for granted. He says Darby has a death wish, and asks what will happen if Darby were to go to Mount Everest and die, then says Darby can lie to everyone all he wants when he needs someone to save him from himself at the end of the day. Darby dares Brody to put him out of his misery and take his spot, even going so far as to egg him on as bluntly as possible, but Brody tells him to get up out of the corner. Darby slaps Brody, but Brody punches him back. Brody grabs Darby, but Darby hits Brody with a rock. Brody is busted open by the time security shows up, and Darby is still egging Brody on.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Lance Archer and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Don Callis shows up and meets with Jake Roberts, saying he has concluded the first ever management-to-management transfer in AEW history, and announces that Lance Archer is now with Callis. Callis says that Will Ospreay is fantastic, then says that he has plans for Lance Archer, who leaves with Callis before shaking hands with Roberts.

He then says it is no longer about the ROH World Championship and that he is going to hurt Jericho.
Daniel Garcia heads to the ring. He says that it is great to see the fans and that he has missed being in the ring, then thanks Tony Khan for giving him this time. He says he has had time to think while sitting at home about what is best for him, and that he does not want to be a guy who does not follow up on his word or disappears without an explanation, and that he would rather tell everyone what he is going to do. Garcia says he can do whatever he wants, because he is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world, and because of that, it is only right that he stays where the best wrestle in AEW. Garcia then promises that the is not the same guy who gets "little bro'd" by everyone in the back and complains when he loses a match, but the guy who builds AEW and starts changing everything in the company, and he will start with gold around his waist. He announces to all champions that he is not safe, because they have what he wants, and that "the feeling is restored."

Big Bill says the people who need lessons the most want them the least, then The Learning Tree meet with Rocky "Azucar" Romero to help him with his self-esteem, with Jericho saying that The Conglomeration do not have faith in him and that he still ended up on his back while his friends celebrated in the ring when they faced The Learning Tree. When Jericho asks Romero if he is a lackey, Romero says he is no man's lackey, but Jericho says they are just trying to teach him a lesson. Big Bill says that "When you're in the picture, you can't see the big picture." Bryan Keith demands that Jericho be respected as the next ROH World Champion, or else.
"Switchblade" Jay White beats Cody Chhun. After the match, Jay White says that "Hangman" Adam Page is one of two men who knocked him off his path to the AEW World Championship and is therefore one of two wrongs that he must right. He says that he made it very clear to Hangman last week, then asks what he is going to do about it, saying that Hangman will not be quiet about it and will be coming for him because he meddled in his business. Jay White says this is exactly what he wants, and that he wants Hangman in a match once more. He then says that when he puts an end to the new Hangman, then he will right the other wrong and move on to the gold. Jay White then addresses the same voices that have booed and despised him for years, saying they have willed "Hangman" Adam Page into existence, and says the road to the world championship starts with Hangman at WrestleDream.
Backstage, we hear from Hook, who says that he is done chasing whoever attacked his father Taz. Kip Sabian accidentally backs into him, and pleads that he did not do it and that he does not know anything before running away. Hook says he will be in the arena all night, then The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Mama Wayne) show up, with Christian Cage asking if he has seen Sabian. Hook says he hasn't (even though he clearly has), and asks if Christian has anything to say to him. Christian says they are both family men who have "been through it this past week," as he has lost Killswitch to a serious medical situation last week and sympathizes with Hook on the loss of his father. The Partriachy leave.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May when Willow Nightingale attacks Mariah and says she has said enough before stating she has beaten three former Women's World Champions before saying she will make Mariah a former champ and become the new champion.
Mercedes Moné retains the TBS Championship and the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Championship against Emi Sakura after grabbing onto the ring skirt, distracting referee Stephon Smith so that "The Brickhouse" Kamille can hit a cheap shot. After the match, Mercedes and Kamille are about to gang up on Emi Sakura when Kris Statlander slides into the ring and brawls with Kamille when Mercedes retreats. Statlander quickly gets the upper hand, and Mercedes has to hold Kamille back.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy). Stokely Hathaway shows up and says that Private Party has been knocking opportunities out of the park for the past two weeks, then says that he has taken down the most lovable person in All Elite Wrestling. Stokely says that if he can do that, then he can work wonders for Private Party, who he says all the tools and is just missing him. Marq Quen wants to know where Stokely was when they were suffering, then says "Thanks, but no thanks." Stokely leaves, then Isiah Kassidy says that for the first time in five years, they are making moves and doing it themselves, and that they need the AEW World Tag Team Championships. He says The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) are complacement, but they will put the chip back on their shoulders and take their spot when they become the new tag champs.
Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says that last week was supposed to be him beating Ricochet and moving on, but now they are equal because of "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. He says he has been a part of The Don Callis Family (Callis, Kyle Fletcher, Takeshita) and knows how they operate, and that he knows Takeshita does not do anything without Callis' go-ahead. Ospreay then calls Don Callis out, saying that they need to have a chat. Callis shows up, and when he goes for the hug, Ospreay wants none of it. Callis says that last week was difficult for him emotionally, and that he hates to see Ospreay unhappy. He tries to get Ospreay to remember the good times they had last year, but Ospreay is not having that either, and he demands that Callis tell him if he sent Takeshita out to attack him. Callis says that Ospreay is asking the wrong question, but Ospreay tells him to stop stalling. Callis says Ospreay does not need to know that, and as Ospreay demands that Callis stop dancing around his question, Callis finally flat out says that he sent Takeshita out of frustration because Ospreay would not listen to his advice, and that he had to show him who makes the decisions in the family. Callis then mentions the tag team title loss, saying Ospreay dropped the ball because he was too mentally weak to do what needed to be done. Ospreay says that if Callis would have kept his nose out of his business, he would have been a tag team champion as well as a world champion. Callis said he had the best wrestler in the world, but he threw him in the garbage for Ospreay, and that maybe he should throw Ospreay in the garbage. Ospreay says he cannot believe that he had any respect for him and calls him "utter scum" before telling him that they are done. Callis slaps Ospreay, and Ospreay drops the International Championship before grabbing Callis andthrowing him across the ring. Takeshita runs into the ring and fights Ospreay, and both men brawl before Kyle Fletcher pulls Ospreay away from Takeshita. Fletcher and Ospreay argue, and Takeshita suplexes Ospreay before Callis tells Fletcher to hit Ospreay with a screwdriver while Takeshita holds Ospreay down. Fletcher leaves the ring, and when Callis tries to stop him, Fletcher almost attacks Callis. Takeshita stands between them and tries to reason with Fletcher, but Fletcher walks off and Ospreay brawls with Takeshita again. Callis then grabs Ospreay from behind, and Takeshita knocks Ospreay out with an elbow strike. Ricochet shows up and attacks Takeshita as Takeshita holds up the International Championship, forcing Takeshita to retreat.
Backstage, we hear from Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, Leila Grey) and Action Andretti. Darius says people keep asking them how they feel after losing number one contendership on Collision. Darius says they are pissed off, because they know they are better than the other two teams they faced and should be facing The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) for the tag team titles. Dante says that they beat The Young Bucks, and that there is no reason they should not have a title match. Andretti says there is a reason, and it is because they are not fired up and constantly complaining. Leila Grey butts in, saying Andretti is the reason as he constantly steps in and messing everything up. Andretti says he did what was best for them, but Leila says he screwed them. Andretti says they do not get it, and leaves. Dante says Andretti is "all go, no thinking," and that this will not stop unless they fix it.
We hear from "Scapegoat" Jack Perry, who says there is a lot to say about "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, as he is a legend and the embodiment of fighting spirit, but he wants to know if Shibata is still one of the best. He syas that Shibata lets his phone do all the talking, but he wants to have a conversation with him in his native language: violence. He says he wants to face the Shibata who almost killed himself in the ring because he was willing to fight that hard and wanted to sacrifice that much. He says that Shibiata may deserve the TNT Championship, but it is really about what Shibata is willing to take, then says the TNT Championship proves he is one of the best and dares Shibata to take it from him.
"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and Wheeler Yuta beat The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and PAC). During the match, PAC grabs the ring bell hammer, and as "The Problem" Marina Shafir distracts referee Rick Knox, PAC tries to hit Danielson with the hammer only for Wheeler Yuta to take it away. Claudio confronts Yuta, and Danielson locks in the Lebell Lock. Despite everything going on at the ring apron, the referee notices this, and PAC taps out. After the match, Jon Moxley tries to get in the ring, but Danielson sees him coming and fights him. Meanwhile, PAC boots Yuta off the ring apron. Danielson and Moxley take their brawl to the back as Shafir gives Yuta a beating, with Claudio and PAC joining in. Claudio then hits Yuta with the hammer as Shafir and PAC hold Yuta down, then Danielson and Moxley's brawl spills back into the ring. Shafir gets Moxley out of the ring as Danielson takes out both PAC and Claudio, forcing them and Shafir to retreat.
Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

Callis then mentions the tag team title loss, saying Ospreay dropped the ball because he was too mentally weak to do what needed to be done. Ospreay says that if Callis would have kept his nose out of his business, he would have been a tag team champion as well as a world champion. Callis said he had the best wrestler in the world, but he threw him in the garbage for Ospreay, and that maybe he should throw Ospreay in the garbage. Ospreay says he cannot believe that he had any respect for him and calls him "utter scum" before telling him that they are done. Callis slaps Ospreay, and Ospreay drops the International Championship before grabbing Callis andthrowing him across the ring. Takeshita runs into the ring and fights Ospreay, and both men brawl before Kyle Fletcher pulls Ospreay away from Takeshita. Fletcher and Ospreay argue, and Takeshita suplexes Ospreay before Callis tells Fletcher to hit Ospreay with a screwdriver while Takeshita holds Ospreay down. Fletcher leaves the ring, and when Callis tries to stop him, Fletcher almost attacks Callis. Takeshita stands between them and tries to reason with Fletcher, but Fletcher walks off and Ospreay brawls with Takeshita again. Callis then grabs Ospreay from behind, and Takeshita knocks Ospreay out with an elbow strike. Ricochet shows up and attacks Takeshita as Takeshita holds up the International Championship, forcing Takeshita to retreat.
Backstage, we hear from Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, Leila Grey) and Action Andretti. Darius says people keep asking them how they feel after losing number one contendership on Collision. Darius says they are pissed off, because they know they are better than the other two teams they faced and should be facing The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) for the tag team titles. Dante says that they beat The Young Bucks, and that there is no reason they should not have a title match. Andretti says there is a reason, and it is because they are not fired up and constantly complaining. Leila Grey butts in, saying Andretti is the reason as he constantly steps in and messing everything up. Andretti says he did what was best for them, but Leila says he screwed them. Andretti says they do not get it, and leaves. Dante says Andretti is "all go, no thinking," and that this will not stop unless they fix it.
We hear from "Scapegoat" Jack Perry, who says there is a lot to say about "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, as he is a legend and the embodiment of fighting spirit, but he wants to know if Shibata is still one of the best. He syas that Shibata lets his phone do all the talking, but he wants to have a conversation with him in his native language: violence. He says he wants to face the Shibata who almost killed himself in the ring because he was willing to fight that hard and wanted to sacrifice that much. He says that Shibiata may deserve the TNT Championship, but it is really about what Shibata is willing to take, then says the TNT Championship proves he is one of the best and dares Shibata to take it from him.
"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and Wheeler Yuta beat The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and PAC). During the match, PAC grabs the ring bell hammer, and as "The Problem" Marina Shafir distracts referee Rick Knox, PAC tries to hit Danielson with the hammer only for Wheeler Yuta to take it away. Claudio confronts Yuta, and Danielson locks in the Lebell Lock. Despite everything going on at the ring apron, the referee notices this, and PAC taps out. After the match, Jon Moxley tries to get in the ring, but Danielson sees him coming and fights him. Meanwhile, PAC boots Yuta off the ring apron. Danielson and Moxley take their brawl to the back as Shafir gives Yuta a beating, with Claudio and PAC joining in. Claudio then hits Yuta with the hammer as Shafir and PAC hold Yuta down, then Danielson and Moxley's brawl spills back into the ring. Shafir gets Moxley out of the ring as Danielson takes out both PAC and Claudio, forcing them and Shafir to retreat.
Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

They're On A Rampage - Rampage recap for April 20, 2024
We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that things got more interesting with the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship being put on the line on Dynamite for the first time ever next week, and that he likes playing the game when the stakes are high and the clock is counting down to zero with no room for ever. Moxley says he was born for these moments, then questions what would happen if Powerhouse Hobbs were to shock the world and beat him for the title. He then asks if Don Callis has been where Powerhouse Hobbs has been, then says he has, and that he will be in the ring with Hobbs, not Don Callis. Moxley states that he always knew Hobbs had something, and says that if Hobbs has not found that thing inside of himself that he has talked about in the week he has given him, he will find it for him when he shows him who he really is and it will be a very bitter pill to swallow. Moxley then advises Hobbs not to hesitate for one second, because he will not.

In a TV exclusive, "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker heads to the ring. He says that the last year has been a whirlwind personally and professionally, and a few months ago, he had to walk away from his mentor and lost family and friends, but gained the love of his life along the way. However, because of some of his actions, he lost his love, too, and going into last week's match, he says it was a must-win and that all he had was beating Zak Knight, and he lost. As a result, Parker said he had a lot of thinking to do when he returned home, and all he wanted to do was make his father proud, and while his father is no longer around, he feels that he has. He also realizes that after the last year, he does not have much left to fight for. Before he can announce his retirement, Ruby Soho suddenly shows up. She says that she cannot let Parker do this and that it breaks her heart to hear him say that he has nothing left to fight for, as he has something important to fight for. Ruby then tells Parker that she is pregnant, and that it is really soon and that she disappeared and didn't know how to tell him, but Parker almost immediately kisses her in celebration.
Kyle O'Reilly, Rocy Romero and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard beat Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett) with a cross arm breaker from O'Reilly to Bennett.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for November 29, 2023
"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson guests on commentary for the next two matches.
Jon Moxley beats Jay Lethal with the leg trap and the bulldog choke in the Gold League of the Continental Classic and earns three points, despite Lethal working at Moxley's knee throughout the match.
In backstage footage from last week's Collision, Eddie Kingston says he knew that the tournament would be tough, and that he came in too arrogant and too cocky like he deserved to win. He says that he has "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson next and that he must stay humble.
Backstage, Tony Schiavone announces that Sting's final match will take place in Greensboro, North Carolina in the Greensboro Coliseum, where Sting faced "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair for world championship gold in 1988. Schiavone interviews Sting and Flair, and Sting says he never thought that he would have this interview 35 years later following that 45-minute draw, and says it was a make-or-break moment for him before thanking Flair and Schiavone for making it happen. He says that Greensboro is a fitting place to cap off all his career. Flair says that the volume and emphasis of what is about to take place is huge and that Sting made himself, having proven himself against Flair. Flair says he has seen many great moments and that he is honored to be Sting's side, for it will be one for the ages.
Rush beats Mark Briscoe in the Gold League of the Continental Classic and earns three points.
Backstage, RJ City interviews "Timeless" Toni Storm, who says that she is very fatigued and dehydrated after a night of partying. As for her next title defense, Toni says she is not worried and that she will turn out fine.
MJF heads to the ring. MJF says that at Worlds End, he will defend the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe, and when it comes to Joe as a person, he does not like him, but professionally, he respects him and what he has done and not coming to AEW to line his pockets. He talks about how he got a poster in his mailbox for TNA Wrestling and saw a lot of wrestling that he had never seen before, and most importantly, Samoa Joe. He says that while Joe looked unconventional, he did not care, for he was "the baddest man walking on God's green earth." MJF admits that Joe's talents were not recognized to the point of becoming a world champion in WWE, but Joe proved that one does not have to look like a world-class bodybuilder to be a top man in the sport and that alternatives matter. He says that without Joe, there would be no MJF and no AEW, and he thanks Joe for making both happen. MJF then says that while he is grateful for the road Joe has paved, he is not too shabby himself, for he has helped to build a new alternative in AEW brick by brick by defeating some of the biggest names in the industry. He then says that out of all of the big names he has faced, the luckiest that he has managed to survive against is Samoa Joe. MJF then says Worlds End is not about Joe's legacy, but his own, and he must outlast the final boss of the sport one more time. He then promises to everyone at home and everyone in the arena that regardless of his condition or what Joe does to him, he will show the world that it is about the size of the fight in the dog, and if Joe wants to take what is his, he will have to put him down. After MJF breaks his cane over his knee, the lights go out and spotlights frantically fly around the ring, and men clad in black suddenly gang up on MJF before the lights come back on. Joe shows up and forces the men to flee. We then see a message asking if Joe and MJF will face the unknown in a tag team match and asks MJF is he is a hero. MJF says he is not dealing with the mystery man's crap and that he will take his men out one by one before he unmasks him. As Joe tells MJF to relax, MJF accepts the challenge to a tag team match.
Wardlow beats AR Fox by referee stoppage.
Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and Action Andretti beat The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and Brother Zay in a trios match.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Action Andretti and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) when Penta el Zero Miedo and Alex Abrahantes show up. Dante and Penta fistbump, then Komander and El Hijo del Vikingo show up so that Penta can challenge Andretti and Top Flight to a trios match.
Julia Hart retains the AEW TBS Championship against Emi Sakura after using Sakura's own top rope moonsault against her. Under House Rules, Emi Sakura's chosen stipulation is that the match cannot be won via submission.
Backstage, RJ City interviews Mariah May. Mariah May says she is dying to show AEW what she can do, and thanks RJ City for the connections to Toni Storm. Mariah May then meets with Tony Khan in his office.
Christian Cage heads to the ring. Security is nearby as Christian invites Adam Copeland to the ring, wanting to speak about some of the things he said to him last week. After some waiting, Copeland shows up, and Christian hides behind the security detail. Christian says the security detail was not his idea and that security is not needed, then asks the security detail to vacate the ring, which security does. He then says that the two of them are not going to make it to next week regarding Copeland's challenge for the TNT Championship because he is sorry not for being on an island of his own, especially after what happened to Killswitch. Christian states that after what happened to Killswitch, he went on the road and into a state of reflection as to why he became who he is now and it reminded him of his and Copeland's time treasure trying to make it in professional wrestling. He says that when they did make it, they became the greatest tag team that ever lived and two of the greatest careers in the history of the sport, and that when the wrestling is taken out of the equation, their relationship goes even deeper. Christian then goes into Copeland growing up with a single father and no father figure, which led to them become brothers and Christian's father becoming Copeland's father, to the point that they became family. As Copeland turns his back, Christian tries to hit him with the TNT Championship, but Copeland turns around and kicks Christian in the groin before telling him to shine the title up real nice because it is coming home to him. He also tells Christian "Go fuck yourself."
"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson guests on commentary for the next match.

MJF reluctantly states that Max Caster has earned his respect after taking a bullet for him last week and admits that Max Caster is growing on him "like a fungus," then says he is starting to "like the Acclaimed." Max Caster says that this means so much to him, as it is a culmination of all their hard work at the top of the trios division, which is symbolized by the nearby trophy with the number "69" on it, which he says belongs to the fans as much as it belongs to them. Max Caster says that if it were not for the fans, they would not have made it to 69, and thanks to them, they will hit 69 again and again.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for October 18, 2023
"Switchblade" Jay White beats Penta el Zero Miedo after "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson punches Penta in the face while Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn distract the referee. After the match, Jay White says MJF is not here while he is and that he is a real and elite world champion. He tells MJF he is still waiting for an answer to his offer and that MJF cannot find any tag team partners, and until he can pay his goon squad off again, he will lead by example. Juice Robinson then says that he will win the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal and take the Dynamite Diamond Ring and pawn it off for another gold tooth.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MJF. MJF says he could have run out and gotten beaten up in a four-on-one beatdown, but he is a scumbag and he is not wasting his entrance pop tonight. He says he will get his title back at Full Gear, then prays that Juice Robinson wins the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal so he can punch him out and draw blood. Suddenly, The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) show up wanting to be MJF's tag team partner, but MJF is not interested, especially after Max Caster offers to enter the battle royal and face MJF himself.
We see a video package for Hikaru Shida vs. Emi Sakura.
Hikaru Shida beats Emi Sakura.
In footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews Adam Copeland. Copeland admits things have not gone smoothly and that he does not know what has happened regarding his plans. He talks about how he became friends with Christian Cage and how he has always believed in him, yet Christian has always been in his shadow. He says that this has always clouded Christian's decisions, even though this is all he and Christian wanted to do and that Christian would be working a day job if it were not for him. Copeland wants to know why he and Christian are still competing and why this keeps happening, and that he does not want to take Christian's title or his spotlight and that he knows things will come crashing to the ground for him. Copeland says he does not want to fight Christian, but eventually, Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus will leave Christian high and dry, and when Christian hits the ground, he will be the one to pick him up.

Omega says Kyle Fletcher has done him a favor in reminding him he is the measuring stick in AEW and tells Kyle that it will be Fletcher, the Don Callis Family, and then the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. MJF shows up and says he has always admired Omega, then shakes his hand and whispers "Thirteen days, bitch" into his ear.

This time, he truly leaves, and Roderick Strong says he will have to be nice to MJF if he wants to get Adam Cole back.
Tony Schiavone interviews Don Callis, Powerhouse Hobbs and Konosuke Takeshita in the ring. Don Callis says that last week, his family made history when Chris Jericho was manhandled and broken in half by Powerhouse Hobbs. Hobbs says February 24, 1998 should have been the greatest day of his life, as he was supposed to meet Chris Jericho only for he and his grandmother to be verbally abused, and since then, he has promised to hurt Jericho over and over, and he made good on that promise. Callis says Hobbs has always been told to bottle up his hate and violence, but Hobbs has a new family and his family tells him to be what he is: a "6'3", 255 lb. killing machine." Callis then says he is not done and that Powerhouse Hobbs will be unleashed on everyone, and that Kyle Fletcher - whom he calls "a scab worker" who replaced Sammy Guevara in a match - screwed the Don Calls Family. Fletcher shows up, snatches the microphone from Callis' hand, and tells him that he did that match as a favor. He says that he may have been the weakest link that night, but he has Kenny Omega tonight, and he will prove that he does not need anyone's help to beat him. Callis tells Fletcher that if he beats Omega tonight, they may have an opportunity to discuss next week. Kenny Omega then shows up for the next match, on which Don Callis guests on commentary.

Swerve then warns Adam Page not to go to war with him as nobody cares less for life than him and that "it is not always you who pays for your actions."
Tony Schiavone interviews Sting in the ring. Sting looks back on his long career and the incredible names he met and knew along the way, then says he is still here all these years later and that it is the atmosphere and the fans of professional wrestling that keep him coming back. He admits that his body may not be what it used to be twenty years ago, then mentions the possibility of retiring. Sting announces that his last match will be at AEW Revolution 2024, then says the only thing for sure about his retirement is that it is for sure.
Backstage, RJ City interviews Toni Storm, who debuts her next blockbuster film "Gone With The Storm" during the commercial break.
Backstage, Jim Ross interviews Nick Wayne and Nick Wayne's mother. Jim Ross tells Nick Wayne that having great friends in wrestling is rare, and asks Nick's mother what she thought when everything went down. Nick's mother says she still cannot understand why Nick turned on Darby Allin, as it is so out of character for him, and trusting in Christian Cage after everything he has said to the both of them. Nick Wayne says he was always in Darby Allin's shadow and that it is time to prove why he is here, then says Christian Cage is his new father figure and a better father figure than Buddy Wayne ever was. Christian Cage shows up and asks Nick Wayne if he is ready to come home. As Nick Wayne leaves with Christian, he gets slapped by her own mother, and Nick says "You're dead to me" to her before leaving. After Nick and Christian leave, they are attacked by Darby Allin. Darby's attack on Nick Wayne continues to the ramp, where Luchasaurus gets involved. Sting shows up and fights both Christian and Luchasaurus, and Christian Cage is almost put in the Scorpion Deathlock before Luchasaurus saves him. (During the beating on the ramp, Nick Wayne loses a tooth and his mouth is busted open because of it.)
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Hook, Best Friends and Kris Statlander. Kris Statlander says her title is all about great professional wrestling, and she is giving a shot at the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale. Orange Cassidy says he knew he cared about the International Championship, and now that he has it back, he will continue to defend it, as there is unfinished business and he has something to prove.
MJF guests on commentary for the next match (and pays "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes off to kick Juice Robinson in the groin with the Shattered Dreams).
"Rock Hard" Juice Robinson last eliminates "Platinum" Max Caster to win the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal. During the match, "Switchblade" Jay White attacks MJF from behind at the commentary table. MJF gets the upper hand, but as he is about to blast Jay White with the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, Jay White hits him with a low blow and takes the title back. As this happens, "Platinum" Max Caster is distracted, and this allows Juice Robinson to put on his cubic zirconium ring on and knock Max Caster out in order to eliminate him and face MJF for the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MJF. MJF says he could have run out and gotten beaten up in a four-on-one beatdown, but he is a scumbag and he is not wasting his entrance pop tonight. He says he will get his title back at Full Gear, then prays that Juice Robinson wins the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal so he can punch him out and draw blood. Suddenly, The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) show up wanting to be MJF's tag team partner, but MJF is not interested, especially after Max Caster offers to enter the battle royal and face MJF himself.
We see a video package for Hikaru Shida vs. Emi Sakura.
Hikaru Shida beats Emi Sakura.
In footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews Adam Copeland. Copeland admits things have not gone smoothly and that he does not know what has happened regarding his plans. He talks about how he became friends with Christian Cage and how he has always believed in him, yet Christian has always been in his shadow. He says that this has always clouded Christian's decisions, even though this is all he and Christian wanted to do and that Christian would be working a day job if it were not for him. Copeland wants to know why he and Christian are still competing and why this keeps happening, and that he does not want to take Christian's title or his spotlight and that he knows things will come crashing to the ground for him. Copeland says he does not want to fight Christian, but eventually, Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus will leave Christian high and dry, and when Christian hits the ground, he will be the one to pick him up.
Wardlow beats "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth by referee stoppage with one powerbomb despite a pre-bell attack by Nemeth. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Wardlow, who has the words "MJF" on his wrist tape. He shows that off, then bumps into Schiavone on his way out.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kenny Omega. Omega says Kyle Fletcher has done him a favor in reminding him he is the measuring stick in AEW and tells Kyle that it will be Fletcher, the Don Callis Family, and then the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. MJF shows up and says he has always admired Omega, then shakes his hand and whispers "Thirteen days, bitch" into his ear.
Adam Cole is still at Roderick Strong's house. As Adam Cole is about to leave due to Roderick Strong complaining that he does not like hot coffee, Roderick Strong mentions Adam Cole making the best peanut better and jelly sandwiches. After Cole makes some sandwiches, Roderick Strong complains about the crust. Adam Cole gets ticked off and leaves, saying he has not talked to MJF in weeks and that he needs surgery. This time, he truly leaves, and Roderick Strong says he will have to be nice to MJF if he wants to get Adam Cole back.
Tony Schiavone interviews Don Callis, Powerhouse Hobbs and Konosuke Takeshita in the ring. Don Callis says that last week, his family made history when Chris Jericho was manhandled and broken in half by Powerhouse Hobbs. Hobbs says February 24, 1998 should have been the greatest day of his life, as he was supposed to meet Chris Jericho only for he and his grandmother to be verbally abused, and since then, he has promised to hurt Jericho over and over, and he made good on that promise. Callis says Hobbs has always been told to bottle up his hate and violence, but Hobbs has a new family and his family tells him to be what he is: a "6'3", 255 lb. killing machine." Callis then says he is not done and that Powerhouse Hobbs will be unleashed on everyone, and that Kyle Fletcher - whom he calls "a scab worker" who replaced Sammy Guevara in a match - screwed the Don Calls Family. Fletcher shows up, snatches the microphone from Callis' hand, and tells him that he did that match as a favor. He says that he may have been the weakest link that night, but he has Kenny Omega tonight, and he will prove that he does not need anyone's help to beat him. Callis tells Fletcher that if he beats Omega tonight, they may have an opportunity to discuss next week. Kenny Omega then shows up for the next match, on which Don Callis guests on commentary.
Kenny Omega beats Kyle Fletcher.
We see another vignette for Danhausen's upcoming return.
Lance Archer beats Barrett Brown.
We see a preview of the world music video premiere for the remix of "Big Pressure" by Swerve Strickland. Afterwards, Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland are in the graffiti park in Houston, Texas, but Swerve says he should be celebrating being a champion and blames Adam Page for taking opportunities from him. Swerve then warns Adam Page not to go to war with him as nobody cares less for life than him and that "it is not always you who pays for your actions."
Tony Schiavone interviews Sting in the ring. Sting looks back on his long career and the incredible names he met and knew along the way, then says he is still here all these years later and that it is the atmosphere and the fans of professional wrestling that keep him coming back.

They're On A Rampage - Rampage recap for October 13, 2023
"Cool Hand" Angelo Parker, "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and Daniel Garcia beat The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and Brother Zay in a trios match following the distraction by Jake Hager. After the match, it is evident that there are cracks in the friendship between Daniel Garcia and Matt Menard over Garcia's dancing.
In backstage footage from last Tuesday on Dynamite, Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White, "Rock Hard" Juice Roninson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) shows up. "Switchblade" Jay White makes fun of Penta el Zero Mieda and Rey Fenix having no championships, and Penta calls Jay White a thief. This leads to a match between Jay White and Penta next week.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Daniel Garcia, "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker, Jake Hager and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard. Menard says he cannot stand the dancing, but Angelo Parker says that they got the win they needed tonight and that the dancing got it done. Hager says they won and that they need to squash this, but Menard says everyone else but him needs to squash it.
Jay Lethal beats Trent Beretta.
We hear from Ortiz, who says that he fought so hard for Proud 'n Powerful (Mike Santana and Ortiz) to work because Mike Santana believed in him, but in the end, Santana stood next to him, not with him. As Ortiz says Santana gave him new purpose, Santana shows up and asks Ortiz where he was when he was out in the last fourteen months going through rehab and surgery, then proposes they handle this the best way they know how and tells Ortiz he will end him.
Skye Blue beats Emi Sakura.
The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) beat Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona).

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 6, 2023
Orange Cassidy heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Orange Cassidy says hello back to the fans and thanks them back, and even though he was told to stay home, he was not going to do that, because championship or no championship, he will be here every single week. As Orange Cassidy leaves, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli make their way to the ring. Orange looks back at Moxley before making his way up the ramp, then looks at AR Fox and Darby Allin before leaving with Darby.
Jon Moxley retains the AEW International Championship against AR Fox. After the match, Darby Allin shows up and raises AR Fox's hand after checking on him. All of a sudden, Nick Wayne is met by Christian and Luchasaurus. Christian says that "Nightmare" Buddy Wayne was a worse wrestler than he thought and that if Nick wants a true mentor, he should look to a champion.
Kris Statlander retains the TBS Championship against Emi Sakura in an open challenge.
We hear from Roderick Strong and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett). Strong says that his parents did not know how to be parents as both of them had drug problems, and it got so bad that his sister left. He says he had to protect himself, and that professional wrestling was the only escape from it that he had and it is his everything, and Adam Cole knew that. Strong says he grew up alone, and that he will win the Grand Slam Tournament alone.
Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.
Le Sex Gods (Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara) beat Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis). After the match, Sammy Guevara is not in a good mood, and shoves Jericho only for Jericho to shove back. Members of security show up to keep them apart, and Sammy leaves the ring.
We hear from "Absolute" Ricky Starks, who says that he wants a full course meal and not a piece of bread, and that he is everything that he says that he is and that he is absolute.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita. Callis boasts about Takeshita beating Kenny Omega twice in a week and that there will be a celebration next week, with their next target being the subject of the covered portrait next to Renee.
MJF heads to the ring. MJF talks about how he lived in Indiana while making his name in the independent circuit, then asks the state of Indiana "Who's your daddy?" This leads to some MJF chants. He then goes on to talk about his title defense at All Out before announcing that he is wrestling at Grand Slam in two weeks and that he is coming back to New York City and that his next challenger will find out they are not on "the level of The Devil." MJF then states that a certain person needs to be taught a lesson, but before he can even utter Samoa Joe's name, Samoa Joe shows up. Joe says he is here to hear what is about to be said, then wants to know what MJF's problem with him is before calling him "kid." MJF says Joe is only here because he confused his entrance music for an ice cream truck, but Joe says the last time he had anything to do with ice cream, he was being the biggest company's star on the other guys' network. After Joe calls MJF "kid" twice, MJF jokes that this is really creative and that he can be creative himself, then calls Samoa Joe "Pillsbury Joe-boy" and "Samoa Dough" before making a reference to Jambi the Genie while saying he has a tiny penis. Joe says the only reason MJF is this stupid is because of hanging around Midwestern mouthbreathers, then asks what his problem is before calling him "kid" a third time. MJF threatens to knock Joe's teeth down his throat, then says this is how Joe wants him to react. MJF talks about how he had a try-out for WWE in Brooklyn, New York when he was 19 years old, knocked it out of the park, and was pulled aside by William Regal who told him he was too young and told him to keep in touch only to be blown off. After some "He fucked up" chants from the fans, MJF says he knocked Regal out and sent him back to NXT where he belongs, and says that if Joe plays his cards right, he is next. He then talks about how the next night, he was asked to play a security guard who led Samoa Joe to the ring at NXT and how Joe shoved him into a brick wall and laughed as he was trying to do his job. MJF says he knows why Joe did that because he is the people's scumbag and he knows how scumbags think, and he did it because he was a kid and he could get away with it. He then tells Joe that he is not a kid anymore and that he is a generational talent, and warns Joe to get out of his way before he kills him. Joe says that was a point beautifully made, but says that he did not see him as a kid when he shoved, but as "a little bitch." MJF puts the Dynamite Diamond Ring on briefly, then takes it off before slapping him. Joe says he will not take his bait, then says he will go through the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament before coming for him. He then allows MJF to leave the ring and wishes him a nice day. As MJF leaves, Joe kicks the bottom rope upwards from under him and attacks him before lifting up the AEW Championship. MJF then hits Joe with a low blow and bites his forehead before stomping a mudhole in him in the corner. MJF charges at Joe in the corner, but Joe hits him with a Uranage. As Joe goes for a Muscle Buster, Adam Cole runs into the ring and chases Joe out before checking on MJF as medical staff does the same. MJF mentions to medical staff that his left arm has gone numb as medical staff help him to the back, and Joe tells MJF says that next time he will leave his arm attached, but there will be no guarantee he will tear it apart when MJF gets in front of him again. As medical staff helps MJF up the ramp, MJF is briefly down to one knee, and as medical staff continue to help him up, Roderick Strong and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) show up and confronts Adam Cole for not caring about Roderick as Roderick heads to the ring for the next match.
Roderick Strong beats Trent Beretta to advance in the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Toni Storm, who does not seem to remember how she cost The Outcasts (Saraya and Ruby Soho) a victory last week. When asked about the AEW Women's World Championship Match at Grand Slam, Toni tells Renee to stop poking around and that she may give a sneak peek of what she plans to do next week. Toni leaves after telling Renee Paquette "chin up, tits out and watch for the shoe," then throws a shoe at her from out of shot.
Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Adam Page talks about how he has once a teacher and how teachers are underpaid and underappreciated following his Over Budget Battle Royal win. As Adam Page talks about what is next for him, Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland show up. Prince Nana tells Schiavone to leave the ring after taking the microphone from him, then demands respect for Swerve. Swerve says two weeks in a coffin gives one some clarity, and one of the first people he thought of when he got out was Adam Page. He asks if Adam Page is "some mascot for AEW" and doing charity for an educational system for kids who will not amount to anything. He says that Adam Page should be going for world championships and should not be on Zero Hour, then says he will be ashamed for him, saying that Adam Page went from being a champion to being in pre-shows. Swerve says Adam Page has had no new gear or merchandise is over a year and doesn't even have singles matches, singles promos or singles title matches on Dynamite anymore because he has gotten comfortable after hanging off The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson). He says that Adam Page has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, and says that if he had the same opportunities that Adam Page had a year ago, he would be the first Black AEW World Champion by now. Swerve then tells Adam Page to ride off into the sunset so he can turn AEW into "Swerve's House" or get his motivation and confidence again and show what "Cowboy Shit" is all about. Swerve then proposes they can fight for Adam Page's spot, but warns him that he has no sympathy for him and that if they do this, he will walk him like a dog. He then says he is coming for his spot that he does not even want, but Adam Page tells him to get a match with him if he wants it, as he is not in the mood for this. Swerve says it is a shame for Adam Page's wife and kids to see him walk away from moral responsibilities, then Adam Page gets back in the ring and confronts Swerve only to be attacked from behind by "The Machine" Brian Cage.
We see a video package for Jay Lethal vs. Penta el Zero Miedo and Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe in the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament.
Darby Allin beats Nick Wayne by submission after pulling back on the arms and stomping Nick Wayne in the head. During the match, Darby Allin grabs a microphone and tells Nick Wayne "You hit like an 18-year-old; hit me like you want to win this!" Soon after this declaration that leads to Darby and Nick exchanging blows and Nick faking a wind-up punch to hit Darby with a superkick, Christian Cage and Luchasaurus show up and guest on commentary for the remainder of the match.
