DEVELOPMENTS

• Lexy Nair backstage with the trios champions THE CONGLOMERATION. They're a bit morose about Briscoe's loss on Dynamite, and aren't sure when they'll see him again after the post-match attack. Big Tom is also out, but Willow will be back soon. Lexy asks about Lio Rush, and Roddy says it's fine and they're ready to defend the trios titles whenever. KONOSUKE TAKESHITA is now here. "I like Phantasmo, I want Kyle Fletcher, I hate Okada." Eloquently putted.
• GABE KIDD voiceover promo reiterating that he is both a member of The Dogs and the Death Riders.
• THEKLA townhall. She's still wearing Starlight Kid's mask and proclaims that Stardom is dead. Not sure how exactly that is.
• SKYFLIGHT backstage, and they're adding MATT SYDAL to the group.
• Nigel McGuinness apparently is entitled to one final shot at Lee Moriarty's Pure Championship, and says on commentary that if he doesn't succeed, he will give up his pursuit of the title.
• DAVID FINLAY and CLARK CONNORS come out on stage after the eight-man tag, and the Bang Bang Gang are jumped from behind in the ring by WHEELER YUTA, DANIEL GARCIA, MARINA SHAFIR, PAC, and CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI. It's seven-on-six, and the bad guys come out on top. Finlay clubs White with the shillelagh.
• Another WILLOW NIGHTINGALE return video package. She mentions how she won the Owen, but it was before it came with a world title opportunity. Once that was established, she lost in the finals. She intends to take the world title this year.
• Ricochet has a mic after their trios squash, and addresses Matt Sydal, saying that what he has with SkyFlight is nothing compared to an actual brotherhood like The Demand.
• THE OPPS are backstage, and Shibata, who's won 19 straight matches in Ring of Honor, wants the world title from Bandido. Hook still isn't giving Bowens anything.

• HIKARU SHIDA elim. KRIS STATLANDER via referee decision
• NEW TBS CHAMPION; First reign for Shida (fourth championship overall in AEW) and seventh reign all-time

DEVELOPMENTS

• WILL OSPREAY and JON MOXLEY meet backstage following Forbidden Door; Will wants to know what Mox meant when he said he was starting to see "it" and Mox says he can't explain it in words but says it's up to them to protect AEW and wrestling as a sport from carnies and backstabbers. He gives Will a Death Riders patch after saying they took a vote on it, effectively offering him membership in the Death Riders, and says he's proud of him
• Will runs into KENNY OMEGA, who says what he did was next-level shit; Will cuts him off and says he knows Kenny's eyeing the patch. Kenny says he's looking out for Will, who retorts by saying that just because Kenny's given up on himself doesn't mean he's given up. MJF is here to say some shit. Kenny tells Will he loves him and that he'll always be his friend and care for him
• MJF kicks out of the Jay Driller clean and wins with the Heatseeker. He attacks Briscoe with the Dynamite Diamond Ring after the match and sets up for a second one but KENNY OMEGA makes the save, takes a mic, and tells him that he wants the title in a match tonight. Obviously that is not happening, and MJF says as much, but immediately changes his mind and says that next week at Beach Break, he'll give Kenny a shot at the title, but only if Kenny stakes his ability to ever challenge for the title again. Max says the offer expires at the end of the night.
• Renee Paquette backstage with MJF to ask him hey what was all that shit about and Max says Andrade El Ídolo I'm gonna kill you and calls Kenny a coward. WILL OSPREAY shows up and asks hey what was all that shit about and Max says I'm the champion and I can do what I want
• ANDRADE EL ÍDOLO townhall with Tony Schiavone. Andrade says he's done with the Don Callis Family and he's focused on becoming the AEW World Champion. How you know? JAKE DOYLE, LANCE ARCHER, and BRIAN CAGE with the pants all jump him from behind and kill him in the ring
• Kevin Knight has a bandage on his head after he blew up and died at Forbidden Door. Lio brought a backpack with him to the ring; Kevin cautiously opens it at the start of the match to reveal that it's a new black, almost scorched ROH TV title belt
• DARBY ALLIN comes out after Kevin's match with a mic and says he wants a match for the TNT title, and if Kevin says no, people will continue to explode. Kevin goes to accept but Don cuts him off and says no because the Family does not deal with criminals. We also see SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY watching from behind commentary
• TOMMASO CIAMPA backstage with Renee Paquette. CHRIS JERICHO shows up and they start fighting. Ciampa tries to kill Jericho with a power drill. I wish he succeeded. Security breaks it up
• KENNY OMEGA is backstage with the YOUNG BUCKS discussing whether or not he's going to accept MJF's stipulation for the world title. Kenny's perspective is that he's not proud of the man he was the first time he won the title, and this is a chance to make it right; if he loses, without the world title, he's unsure what's left for him in AEW
• Jay Lethal pulls Mox's leg and taunts so Marina Shafir responds by walking over to him, looking him in the eye, and hitting an exploder suplex on him. Ospreay is also wearing the Death Riders patch
• After Forbidden Door, CAGE & COPE are backstage with Lexy Nair. Christian takes exception to Edge's association with Jay White; Cope says White owed him a favor, and now they're even, but that's evidently not enough for Christian
• JAY WHITE and the BANG BANG GANG townhall. Jay's annoyed by the Death Riders, he's annoyed by Will Ospreay, but he's happy to be back. He's got his eyes set on The Dogs, and calls Finlay a "nepo baby bitch boy."
• SHANE TAYLOR is backstage with SHAWN DEAN, CARLIE BRAVO, and LEE MORIARTY. They want an eight-man tag with Jay and any other three members of the Gang on Collision.
• Survival of the Fittest: Harley and Persephone are teaming up here in the first couple of minutes, but as Harley hits 10 punches in the corner on Aminata, Persephone grabs her and hits her with Razor's Edge to eliminate her. Statlander is pissed off about this
• During the first break, Stat and Maika align to fend off all comers, but that dissolves out of international time. Kris goes to hit the ropes and Shida cracks her in the back with a kendo stick. Shida soon after tries to use it on Maika in the ring but Stat grabs it from the apron and pries it from her; Persephone then grabs it from the floor and yanks Stat down. Shida then rolls up Maika and pins her the long way
• Aminata hits Shida with the Queen's Crown and Off With Her Head and grabs her by the legs to pin her away from the ropes, but Persephone schoolboys her and eliminates her and then immediately starts taunting like a fucking idiot instead of going after Shida who is completely dead for the next five minutes
• Persephone goes for Razor's Edge on Stat, who drops out and gets her up for Staturday Night Fever; Persephone drops down into a cover, Stat rolls back and gets the pinfall to eliminate her. Persephone is outraged and grabs Aubrey by the collar
• Stat kicks out of a Falcon Arrow from Shida, who goes over and grabs the title belt; she swings and misses at Stat, who goes for Staturday Night Fever again and promptly gets rolled up again. They trade a few covers, Shida transitions into an ankle lock, and after Stat claws her way to the apron to try to escape the ring, Persephone clubs her in the head with the TBS title belt. Stat's out cold as Shida wins with her shitty submission 
• KENNY OMEGA townhall to close the show; he's walking through Mongo Position when WILL OSPREAY shows up and says cut his fucking music and says he wants Kenny to reconsider even though he wants Kenny to win the world title and face him at Wembley. Will doesn't think Kenny believes enough in himself, but Kenny says this is his Death Ground. They embrace.
• Kenny says he could probably hang his hat on his career proudly, but a selfish part of him feels that it just isn't enough and that if he and everyone else can believe just one more time, he's capable of becoming a champion that everyone can be proud of. Kenny says the question is whether the cost, the risk of forfeiting his ability to ever challenge for the world title again, is too high, but he doesn't think it is, and he accepts MJF's challenge.
• Kenny does his spiel, then MJF attacks him from behind. He goes for a ring shot but Kenny double legs him and they brawl on the mat. Security, referees, plus Pat Buck for some reason come out to break it up but this turns into a full melee as both men continually have to be restrained.

DEVELOPMENTS

• Moloney/Garcia: Drilla goes for the Drilla Killa on Danny; Marina gets on the apron and pulls him down right in front of Stephon Smith. Danny schoolboys Drilla for a near fall, they exchange strikes, and Danny tries to roll back through into the Dragontamer but Drilla catches him for the piledriver this time.
• There's some miscommunication between Bayne and Kross as Thunder Rosa and Olympia give them a run for their money, but Divine Dominion are able to isolate Rosa and hit Divine Intervention to retain the championships.
• Moxley/Bandido: Mox is heavily targeting the mask of Bandido, nearly ripping the left side of it completely open, and pushing the rules of the match to their limits. Bandido is frequently distracted by needing to readjust the mask both to keep it in place and to keep the blood out of his eyes.
• Mox has a bulldog choke in on Bandido towards the end. Bandido's able to return to his feet and goes for a Hail Mary backpack senton. Mox's grip on a rear naked choke doesn't break, though, and Bandido stops responding to Aubrey Edwards, who calls for the bell.
• BRODY KING comes out after the match to check on Bandido. Mox motions for him to back off, bringing Bandido to his knees, lying the title out between them, and offering Bandido his hand as a sign of respect. Maybe "earning Moxley's respect" isn't necessarily something to be attained if it entails being disrespected in basically every way possible leading up to it, but such is life.
• JON MOXLEY is in the ring to confront Shota Umino after the latter's successful defense of his title; Umino, formerly a protegé of Moxley's, was attacked by Gabe Kidd recently and told that he's been formally disowned by the Death Riders. Umino used the Paradigm Shift before hitting a Northern Lights Bomb to beat PAC. Umino and Moxley stare down for a minute before HIROSHI TANAHASHI comes down the ramp. Mox leaves with Marina and PAC in tow and Tanahashi fastens the belt on Umino. It takes him like 20 seconds to do it. I guess they're not using Velcro in New Japan.
• Thekla/Starlight Kid: TARO OKADA, ever the glutton for punishment, is in the front row to see Starlight Kid's challenge for the AEW Women's World title. Okada looks scared as fuck.
• It doesn't take long for Thekla to get in Okada's face at ringside and grab him by the collar. She goes to strike him but Starlight Kid grabs her hand to pull her back. The crowd boos this. Poor guy.
• Starlight Kid's giving Thekla a run for her money, moreso than really any of her other challengers for this title have. SLK gets Numero Dos Stretch Muffler locked in, hits Black Tiger's Divine Punishment multiple times, and sends her knees straight into Thekla's ribs on a moonsault, but Thekla is somehow able to escape cleanly. SLK, for her part, energetically escapes a near fall off a spear.
• Desperation time for Thekla, but Starlight Kid is worse for wear. Thekla hits a curbstomp, then points at Okada before doing another for the pinfall to retain. The SISTERS OF SIN swarm the ring and Thekla rips Starlight Kid's mask off. She proceeds to go over to Okada at ringside and hits him in the head multiple times with it. I believe the Forbidden Door logo on the back of the mask is metal and she got a pretty good swing in on him so that couldn't have felt good.
• Dogs/C&C: Cage & Cope hit a flapjack to spear combo on David Finlay that should have him wiped out for good, but Clark Connors barrels over Christian into referee Stephon Smith, prompting Nigel at commentary to exclaim "Christian Cage attacked the referee!" Connors and Copeland proceed to double spear each other and both go down.
• Finlay produces the shillelagh and bashes Cage in the neck with it. He turns his attention to Copeland, the legal man once Smith recovers, but THE LIGHTS GO OUT! and the BANG BANG GANG appear on the stage to do their entrance minus music. The lights come back on and JAY WHITE is in the ring in all black behind Finlay's back. Finlay knows what this means, and turns around to try to truck White, but he gets caught into the Blade Runner. Copeland spears Finlay and White rouses the referee to get back in the ring and make the count.
• Jay gives the title belts to Cope and Cage. He's got no issue with Copeland, but exchanges words with Cage, who he's got a history with. Jay celebrates with the rest of the Bang Bang Gang on the ramp. 
• It is now at this point that I am nearly seven shows behind on recaps. I have basically given up on catching up with full recaps and will probably just do results with basic points until Redemption. My executive dysfunction is undefeated I suppose
• Moné/World: Maya kicks out of the Moné Maker deep into this match
• Maya taps out to the Statement Maker wrenched back probably as far as Mercedes has ever done it after surviving the standard hold a minute prior for probably 30+ seconds and nearly taking a flash pinfall
• ATHENA talks shit on Maya with Renee in the stands afterwards and accidentally owns herself by saying that her students all fucking suck
• Death's Door: Team DCMJF comes out entirely in the shitty shirts Don had made for them
• Don Callis throws Walker Stewart off comms before the match starts
• Andrade and MJF get into a shoving match and the rest of the team tries to break it up before Roderick Strong wipes them all out with the hockey bag he came in with 
• Kyle O'Reilly brains Kyle Fletcher with an NES; Briscoe brings out the tacks but gets Mother F'n Bombed into them by Fletcher; Darby proceeds to eat a flipping back body drop facefirst into them. Gross. MJF then brings out a push broom to send them all to the floor
• Kevin Knight hits a wholesale Van Terminator on Darby but Mark Briscoe breaks up the pin
• MJF for some reason demands Okada open the hockey bag that's at ringside and LIO RUSH is inside. Lio is smitten with MJF's Dynamite Diamond Ring, but Okada hits him with the Rainmaker and Jake Doyle and Kevin Knight put him back in the bag
• Takeshita hits a fucking incredible Blue Thunder Bomb on Fletcher off the apron through a table that spurs Don Callis to jump off commentary to check on him
• Darby chases Kevin up to the top of the cage. Kevin goes and retrieves the backpack that Darby brought into the match and it fucking explodes and he falls through a stack of tables
• Mark hits the Jay Driller on Max but Jake Doyle breaks up the pin. Jake is all in on this and he goes to hold Mark but Max demands that Andrade hold him instead for some reason. Andrade argues with him, telling him to do it himself as the crowd chants "take your pants off" at him. Andrade reluctantly grabs Mark and holds him up for a ring shot but as Max charges, Andrade drops him and hits Día De Los Muertos on Max. Jake Doyle tries to argue with him and he repeatedly yells "I DON'T CARE" before kicking him in the balls, taking off his shirt, then ripping off his dress shirt underneath to reveal a tank top that reads "FUCK DON FUCK MJF" on it. Andrade tells Mark to hit the Jay Driller on Doyle, which he does, and wins the match
• We find out after the match that Briscoe intends on cashing in his title shot on Dynamite the following Wednesday 
• Strickland/Ospreay: Swerve has a new tron tonight, getting rid of his return tron from about 8 months ago that looked like it was the logo of a Five Nights at Freddy's fangame from 2016. Unfortunately this one does not look much better
• Ospreay targets the arm early and actually gets Swerve to immediately submit to Death Ground on the floor, but it can't end the match because it's not in the ring. Prince Nana responds to this by throwing coffee (pretty sure it was just water) in Will's face
• Will takes the exposed turnbuckle to his face and immediately gigs like a motherfucker. He's leaking onto the pads at ringside. Full crimson mask in like two minutes
• Ospreay tries to get the Styles Clash in on the floor and can't so he just says fuck it and whips Swerve into the side of the stairs big style and it's fuckin beast. Swerve is now also opened up and bleeding like a bastard
• Will has Swerve in powerbomb position on top of the stairs which have been moved next to comms; Nana distracts him so he goes to attack Nana instead and runs into a House Call
• Will and Swerve do the Ospreay-Danielson standoff spot where they charge each other and try to hit first. Will gets the Hidden Blade and then hits the Storm Breaker and Swerve kicks out for some reason lol then he low blows Will and then Will kicks out of the Vertebreaker and then Swerve hits the Hidden Blade and Big Pressure and then Will kicks out of that too so like I don't know why we did any of this
• The Death Riders are now here in their entirety at ringside to yell at Will to win the match. Will responds to this by no-selling a House Call, hits a Hidden Blade, then a Buckshot Hidden Blade and Swerve kicks out so Will hits a Paradigm Shift then a Death Rider then a Tiger Driver that the camera completely fucking misses and blows the finish and Will wins
• Claudio daps up Mox at ringside and Mox starts doing the double bicep taunt. Brother what did you do you showed up with 2 minutes left
