    • Fourth defense of the TNT title this reign by Allin, 13th all-time; improves to 20-10 all-time in televised matches for said title

DEVELOPMENTS

  • Walker Stewart is here on commentary! 
  • Mark Davis picks up a huge pinfall over the Continental Champion just days before making his first challenge for the title at WrestleDream.
  • Josh Alexander focuses heavily on Adam Copeland's once-broken leg. You would think that leg would be stronger than it was before after healing. Maybe not, I guess. 
  • Adam says after the match that 5 minutes into the ladder match at All Out, Christian Cage broke three ribs--one of them in three places--and a lung collapsed. He says it made him realize that he's getting older and announces that next year he plans to retire from professional wrestling, and now intends to chase the AEW Men's World Championship. DON CALLIS is now here with BRIAN CAGE and he is simply so happy because Mark Davis pinned Jon Moxley and he doesn't think Copeland will be seeing 2027, let alone Clockwork Carnage. He then gets jumped by KEVIN KNIGHT, KYLE FLETCHER, and LANCE ARCHER. Brian Cage hits the F'n5.
    • KONOSUKE TAKESHITA is now here with RODERICK STRONG, ORANGE CASSIDY, and KYLE O'REILLY to make the save. The Family powder, and there's a match on deck. 
  • Renee Paquette backstage with the AEW UNITED EMPIRE. Everyone has words for the camera.
  • FTR come out to say some bullshit, the MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS come out, and they want a best of 5. That'll begin at WrestleDream.
  • BRODIDO and HANGMAN ADAM PAGE are backstage and Hangman's still being a baby bitch about Swerve Strickland, a man whose house he burned down, not being his best friend after he completely disappeared for months. Brody tells him to shut the fuck up and that the only way they're getting the titles back at WrestleDream is if they're on the same page.
  • Myron hits the No Cap Splash on Okada on the floor, but misses it twice in the ring and eats the Rainmaker. He falls to 0-2 against Okada 
  • THE NEW LEVEL are backstage with PRINCE NANA. Swerve isn't here tonight, but he called in help from actor and comedian MOJO BROOKZZ. Mojo proceeds to call out Brody King and the New Level try to shut that down. Townhall segment here. Mojo tries to put over the match at WrestleDream, gets booed, and then takes a back bump for no reason. Mojo is doing ad libs for every person in the match Kofi names. Thank God for the New Level. That segment was not for me.
  • Skye Blue apparently does a Destroyer now. Julia also mists Lena Kross, and it allows Thekla to curbstomp her and win.
  • Ciampa DDTs Andrade from outside the ring onto the National Championship title while Joe distracts Bryce. It knocks Andrade out cold, and Joe puts in the Coquina Clutch for good measure.
  • Renee Paquette backstage with JON MOXLEY and the DEATH RIDERS. Moxley does not want to talk about the loss tonight, and he starts throwing shit and screaming. Renee goes into Wife Mode and asks him what's going on. Mox says he's in a lot of pain and when she asks what kind, he says he's not sure he can tell the difference. Marina gets down and tells him to keep his eyes up because the only way out is through. That gets Moxley back on his feet. Renee leaves with Marina and Moxley leaves with the guys.
  • NICK WAYNE and JERICHO have one more segment where Nick Wayne's genuinely over and Jericho genuinely isn't. They'll have a rubber match at WrestleDream, and if Nick Wayne wins, Jericho will apologize to him for being mean. Jericho kicks him in the nuts.
  • Renee Paquette backstage with TOMMASO CIAMPA and SAMOA JOE. Ciampa says he's left Andrade unconscious the last two times they've seen each other, and the same will happen at WrestleDream. Joe says on Dynamite, he gave everyone a preview of the future: at WrestleDream, he will choke everyone out and win the AEW title for the third time.
  • Britt has the Terrible Towel tonight because they're in Cleveland and it's free heat. Don't know why she needs more heat when she's got enough go away heat as is. Persephone gets on the apron with the TBS championship belt and tries to get in the ring, screams at Paul Turner for a bit, then nearly accidentally hits Britt with it. Dani shoves Britt into Persephone and bumps her off the apron, then schoolboys Britt to pick up the pinfall.
    • Post-match, Persephone and Britt attack Dani and Hyan, but QUEEN AMINATA makes the save, wildly swinging a leather strap of some sort--maybe a belt?--and Persephone and Britt powder. All three women in the ring are doing the belt taunt, and we find out that it'll be a four-way for the TBS title at WrestleDream. 
  • We get a strange video package with a metronome, someone conducting a symphony, walking down stairs in nice clothes, and doing shuttles.
  • Darby's selling his left knee a lot tonight. Watching this in real time I can already tell this will somehow be the reason Hechicero loses this match. 
    • Yeah despite a fucked up knee it does not stop him from hitting three consecutive Coffin Drops and winning
    • Darby gets jumped by KAZUCHIKA OKADA, LANCE ARCHER, and ROCKY ROMERO. WILL OSPREAY and SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY come in to make the save. Okada gets the upper hand on Ospreay and sets up for the Rainmaker but ADAM COPELAND now makes the save and they go into a strike exchange before Copeland hits the Impaler DDT. RICOCHET hits a Phenomenal Forearm on Copeland. Speedball cuts him off but gets a Spirit Gun for his troubles. KONOSUKE TAKESHITA hits him with a Blue Thunder Bomb. Takeshita picks up the belt but drops it when SAMOA JOE's music hits. They trade blows and Joe gets rocked before laying out Takeshita. Ospreay hits a Hidden Blade on Joe, who gets cut off by Okada. Okada goes for a Tombstone but drops him before Copeland spears him, causing Ospreay to get hit instead. Copeland eats a Rainmaker, Darby dropkicks Okada and hits a Coffin Drop onto half the roster.

Recap of AEW Dynamite, 1 July 2026

Viejas Arena, San Diego, CA

RESULTS 

  • AEW Men's World Championship: MJF (c) def. MARK BRISCOE via pinfall in 18:21
    • Second defense of the AEW Men's World title this reign by MJF; improves to 22-4 (20-4 on AEW programming) in matches for the AEW Men's World title

    • 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

  • Brief aside--sorry for the lack of recaps of AEW programming last week! I was actually at both shows in person and quite frankly didn't feel like watching each show a second and third time. We'll hopefully go back to normal this week.
  • The DEATH RIDERS are backstage plus WILL OSPREAY to cold open the show. Mox gives everyone a pep talk and Danny tells Will to get in the ring around the rosie joint. They do it and Ospreay eats shit and he and Danny corpse really hard. Time for trios action.
    • Brody tries to get Mox up for a powerbomb but Marina gets on the apron to distract Aubrey Edwards. Claudio clubs Brody across the back of the head with the Continental title which allows Mox to pin Brody.
  • Renee Paquette backstage with TEAM BRISCOE minus Mark. Renee asks them if they feel ready. Darby says he doesn't but they don't have any time to waste and that he's willing to do anything possible and he hopes his teammates do the same. Orange wants to make sure everyone has backpacks.
  • Marina gets Harley into a rear naked choke but Harley rolls over and pins her in the hold to get the win. Marina just looks baffled. She can't buy a win.
  • Danny hits a Styles Clash on Swerve; Swerve responds by winning the match with a nasty Hidden Blade. Ospreay world.
    • Swerve returns to attacking Garcia after the bell, trying to injure the right arm. WILL OSPREAY intervenes and lines up for a Hidden Blade but Nana pulls his leg. Swerve tries to get Ospreay up for a Vertebreaker; Danny pulls him down and gets him out of the ring, so Swerve just kills Danny instead. Ospreay runs Swerve off with a chair. 
  • TEAM DCMJF are backstage, plus RPG Vice. Kevin Knight asks Darby Allin if Double or Nothing wasn't enough for him, and reasserts that he wants his title shot. Okada says bitch. Kyle Fletcher wants to kill Takeshita. Max doesn't let Andrade talk, and he's mad at Andrade for not being on the same page last week, so he and Don have made really shitty awful shirts for the whole team.
  • Zack Sabre Jr. and Bad Dude Tito attack the Young Bucks after their match. KENNY OMEGA and JACK PERRY run in to make the save; Kenny and Zack go nose to nose and exchange words before trading blows. Kenny hits a Snapdragon and goes for the V-Trigger but Tito bails him out. 
  • Renee Paquette backstage with the YOUNG BUCKS and she asks how things will go in 3-way tag action on Sunday. The Bucks think they're on their way back to the top of the tag division. The camera now pans to CAGE & COPE and THE DOGS in an all-out brawl. Matt asks if they're good and Adam says they're fine and they go back to fighting. Clark tries to take a makeup artist hostage; it does not work. David gets the upper hand by spraying both of them in the eyes with hairspray and they choke out the tag champs with camera cables then do a 5-second pose. David has the E&C glasses.
  • MARK BRISCOE is here with a microphone after the main event. He celebrates with Takeshita on the stage before getting in the ring. He talks about how The Conglomeration won over the Death Riders at Blood and Guts and how the stakes are much higher at Forbidden Door. Most of the rest of the promo is him building the match up.
    • DON CALLIS walks out on stage to talk shit to Mark as a distraction for MJF to attack him. Mark gets the upper hand briefly and goes for the Jay Driller but KYLE FLETCHER makes the save, hits a snap half-and-half and a brainbuster. KONOSUKE TAKESHITA is back, he takes Kyle's head off with a forearm and hits Raging Fire. KAZUCHIKA OKADA hits the Rainmaker on Takeshita, KYLE O'REILLY gets Okada in an ankle lock, KEVIN KNIGHT hits the GTFO on O'Reilly, DARBY ALLIN hits the Scorpion Death Drop on Knight. Darby sets up for the Coffin Drop but gets cut off by JAKE SOMETHING who hits Into the Void. RODERICK STRONG attacks him, Jake gets the better of him but eats an Orange Punch from ORANGE CASSIDY, then another, and Roddy hits an Olympic Slam. MJF kicks Orange in the balls from the back; Mark now tries to get him up for the Jay Driller a second time but ANDRADE EL ÍDOLO hits a rebound lariat on Mark. Things break down quickly between Andrade and Mark, but Don intervenes and gets them back on the same page for a moment. Andrade holds up Mark for a shot from the Dynamite Diamond Ring but Mark ducks out of the way. Andrade gets leveled and Mark kicks Max in the gut and hits the Jay Driller. Team Briscoe stand tall.

DEVELOPMENTS

  • Tony Schiavone is here to bring in TOMMASO CIAMPA to start the show. Ciampa wants Schiavone to tell the crowd that he's better than Jericho again. Schiavone refuses so Ciampa grips him up and backs him into the corner. Schiavone starts saying it and CHRIS JERICHO's music hits. Judas keeps playing as Jericho gets in the ring and Ciampa is pitching a fit about this.
    • The entire angle is that Jericho is just saying juvenile shit to annoy Ciampa. This sucks.
  • Don Callis is backstage with KEVIN KNIGHT, who wants a shot at the AEW World Championship. ANDRADE EL ÍDOLO also wants that, and he wants The Jet to get to the back of the line. He asks Don if he's with him or with Kevin and does not get an answer. Frustration is mounting.
  • Shane takes Moxley's head off with a forearm after the match. CARLIE BRAVO gives Taylor his belt to whip Moxley with, which he does. DANIEL GARCIA comes out to attack Bravo, but he gets double teamed when SHAWN DEAN comes out to join Carlie. MARINA SHAFIR runs in to make the save, but TRISH ADORA hits her with a kendo stick. LEE MORIARTY joins the Infantry and they do the Death Riders ring around the rosie taunt. STP stand tall.
  • Don Callis is now here to introduce KEVIN KNIGHT. Kevin says that he knows the crowd isn't mad at him, and speculates that maybe it's with Darby Allin for letting everyone down, or at Speedball for breaking up JetSpeed. Kevin calls out MJF. Instead, he's met with DARBY ALLIN's tron. Kevin's immediately into fighter stance, but Darby instead attacks him from behind with his skateboard. Darby screams "I HOPE NEW YORK WAS WORTH IT, BITCH" and goes up to hit a Coffin Drop but bails out when JAKE SOMETHING, ROCKY ROMERO, TRENT BERETTA, and LANCE ARCHER run in to make the save. Darby leaves the arena through the side door.
  • Ahead of his match with PAC, we see MARK BRISCOE talking to Tony Khan. They seem to have come to some sort of agreement, presumably about receiving a shot at MJF's title.
  • After beating PAC with the Jay Driller, Mark grabs a mic and calls out MJF to say that he has a direct path to a title shot. MJF's music hits and we go to break.
    • MJF comes through the crowd, and in so many words, tells Mark Briscoe "no." Max says that friends are stupid and a liability and that he has the most important thing in the world: money, and money talks. Mark now gets attacked from behind by the LETHAL TWIST. Mark is able to get the upper hand on them momentarily but they start to beat him down. THE CONGLOMERATION (Roddy, Orange, Kyle, Ishii) run in to make the save. Max makes his way to ringside after they're laid out.
    • Mark says he knows something Max doesn't: if Max thinks he's the highest power in AEW, he's not the boss: he's just an asshole. Mark says he talked to the real boss in Tony Khan, and they need a main event for Forbidden Door. Max needs to find some partners, because at Forbidden Door, it'll be a 6-on-6 cage match, and if Mark Briscoe's side wins, he'll be guaranteed a world title match.
    • ANDRADE EL ÍDOLO comes out and exchanges looks with MJF. He's got a match with Orange Cassidy up next. 
  • Orange early in this match is playing mind games with Andrade and somehow convinces Andrade to take his pants off. Andrade now tells Orange to put his hands in his pockets already. Orange instead starts taking his own pants off, tearing them off to reveal a second, identical pair of pants underneath. This infuriates Andrade.
    • During the break, Don attacks Orange and rakes his eyes.
    • Andrade goes over and takes a picture with a woman again at ringside, as per usual. Orange hits a tope, then looks over at the corner where the woman was. LIO RUSH is now taking her phone. She backs off as Lio beckons Orange over for a picture. Orange, very reluctantly, poses for it. Andrade immediately jumps Orange afterward.
    • Now Lio wants a picture with Andrade. They trade "how you know"s and "he knows" before Lio declares that it is, in fact, fine, and just takes a selfie at long-range. Orange hits a tornado DDT on Andrade.
  • Following Dynamite last week, WILL OSPREAY was backstage in the stairwell. He says he can't believe he's saying it, but he owes something to the Death Riders. His fiancé, ALEX WINDSOR, on the heels of her loss to Mercedes Moné, rushes him and buries her face in his chest tearfully. Will pushes the camera away.
  • JON MOXLEY is backstage with MARINA SHAFIR and DANIEL GARCIA. Mox says Shane could have walked away with his pride, but his voice is shot. Marina wants to kill Trish, and Danny proposes a 5-on-5 street fight on Collision.
  • Sareee was not medically cleared, so Maya World has taken her place in this quarterfinal match. Renee Paquette tells us that it's an emotional affair for Maya, who lost her brother earlier this week and has taken this match in his honor.
    • Good lord. AEW crowds are just fucking silent for women. This is depressing. You are here to watch wrestling. Here are the wrestlers. Be a part of the fucking show.
    • On the other hand, Skye Blue might be one of the worst and most boring in-ring wrestlers in this company. Dear God. She goes for Code Blue and Maya counters into a flash pinfall with a bridge to steal the match and advance to face her once-mentor, Athena, in the semifinal.
  • We get a pretape with ZACK SABRE JR. calling out Kenny Omega for a match before Forbidden Door. Excalibur tells us that the match has been signed. At Forbidden Door: Omega vs. ZSJ.
  • The entire fucking DON CALLIS FAMILY is backstage, where they're met by MJF. MJF explains the situation with Mark Briscoe and tells Don he needs five of his top guys. Don initially balks at this, saying he's not some kind of pimp, but his tone changes quickly when Max produces a briefcase filled to the brim with cash. Andrade is visibly irritated by this, but Don is happy to accommodate.
    • Andrade starts to step up to Max, but Kevin Knight cuts him off. Kevin says if he's looking for top guys, he needs to look no further than The Jet. Knight says he feels like MJF's been ducking him lately, so he'd be happy to help Max out at Forbidden Door if he gets a shot at the Men's World title afterward. Max says he'd love to say Kevin wasn't one of his top picks, but he is, and he's got that rematch coming--but if he loses this second time, there won't be another rematch. They shake on it.
    • Max leaves, and Don and Kevin dap up. Everyone else goes to leave, but Andrade holds Don back. Andrade wants an answer about his own title shot, and Don gives Andrade his word that he will get his shot at the world title. Andrade still doesn't seem convinced. 
  • Brody sets Swerve up on a chair at ringside and goes to hit his running crossbody. Prince Nana gets in the way and stops him; Brody throws him out of the way but it gives Swerve enough time to drop toe hold Brody into the chair.
    • Swerve tries to powerbomb Brody off the second. Brody, in the process of hanging on to the ropes, pulls off the top turnbuckle pad. Brody ends up taking that buckle headfirst later on. Swerve and Nana are fucking with Aubrey as the blood starts to flow from Brody. Brody eats two House Calls and kicks out of the ensuing cover.
    • Swerve goes for the Vertebreaker but Brody back drops him out of it and hits a Death Valley Driver into the corner with the exposed turnbuckle. Prince Nana gets on the apron to distract Brody so Brody just chokes him out in like 3 seconds, dumps him, hits a Cannonball on Swerve, and piledrives him for a 2.9.
    • Brody looks for the Ganso Bomb; Swerve fights out and shoves Brody towards the ropes. Aubrey has to dive out of the way, which allows Nana to get a cheap headshot in from the floor. Swerve hits the Vertebreaker to take the match.

DEVELOPMENTS

  • We get a cold open earlier today with Renee Paquette interviewing RUSH. RUSH says he would die in the ring if that's what it takes. He starts saying his catchphrase before MJF walks up, cuts him off, and slaps the SHIT out of him. RUSH double legs him and security has to pull them apart.
  • This match is happening first, and Renee, once again, is with RUSH. She says we just found out the match will have no countouts. ANDRADE EL ÍDOLO shows up to hype him up and tells him to take the title.
  • RUSH rips a turnbuckle pad off the top. He goes to throw MJF into the exposed turnbuckle and Bryce Remsburg gets in the way to prevent him. They argue for a moment before RUSH shoves Bryce out of the way; MJF proceeds to throw RUSH into it RUSH gigs off this.
    • Later on, Max tries to throw RUSH into it a second time, and once more, Bryce gets in the way. Turnabout is fair play, as Max shoves Bryce out of the way and then gets pushed into it himself by RUSH.
    • RUSH has MJF laid out after a headbutt. He drags him to the apron and kills him with a straitjacket piledriver. Both men are worse for wear following this; MJF previously had RUSH's left arm in Salt of the Earth, and it's clear the damage to his shoulder is catching up to him. RUSH uses the ring post to pop his shoulder back in and fires up to the crowd but quickly falls back to a knee. Bryce Remsburg and a medic check on him; the medic tells Justin Roberts that the match can't continue and he announces it as such. RUSH is now on his feet and spikes the microphone out of his hand before headbutting the medic who takes a crazy fucking neck bump off it. This match, evidently, is still on. RUSH throws a supine Friedman back into the ring and gives him the Horns but covers him way far into the corner and Max gets his hand on the rope.
    • RUSH goes for something with a double underhook on the apron but can't lift MJF, who powders to the corner of the ringside area. RUSH decides to try to dropkick him here, but Max ducks out of the way and RUSH kicks the entire barricade down and dies. Max proceeds to tombstone piledrive him onto the upturned barricade. Max's left knee is visibly bothering him.
    • RUSH, despite barely being able to move, has decided it is wise to climb up to the top turnbuckle. MJF sidesteps a shotgun dropkick from there, traps RUSH's injured left arm, and locks in a crossface. RUSH refuses to tap out, to the point where he shoots Max the bird from this hold, but there's no escape. He loses consciousness and Bryce calls for the bell.
  • Post-match, Max takes the belt and lines up RUSH to hit him with it. MARK BRISCOE runs down, though, and tries to hit a Jay Driller; Max slips out and kicks him in the balls. Now MJF wants to hit Mark with the belt, but the trios champs THE CONGLOMERATION are here joined by Tomohiro Ishii. MJF leaves.
  • After the break, Mark Briscoe's theme is STILL playing and I guess it turns out he's got a match right now. The Conglomeration, who are preparing to leave back up the entryway, freeze in place as LIO RUSH's music hits. Remember, he can't see you if you don't move. After he passes them, they start walking away but freeze again when Lio turns around. Once he finally heads towards the ring, all four of them sprint away.
    • Mark has absolutely no clue what to make of Lio, who is repeatedly whispering something into his ear after the bell. At the end of international feed time, Taz starts theorizing that maybe Lio ate some kind of mushrooms in the forest that caused this to happen to him.
  • Mark Briscoe wins with the Cutthroat Driver, and he has words for MJF after his match. He thinks back to the passing of his brother in January of 2023, and his debut match in AEW against Jay Lethal a week after. He says AEW was how he got his anger out after losing Jay, but deep down, he still couldn't find any joy until he found The Conglomeration.
    • Mark says that when he and MJF crossed paths, with every sentence Max spoke, the rage came back to the surface. He says he's never hated a man like he hates MJF, and reminds him of how he pinned him once he got his hands on him. When Max went away, he says, his mind was finally at ease again; when Max popped back up, all the rage came back, and now, Max has something Mark wants: the AEW World title. Mark says they are not the same; Max pitches a fit anytime he wants something until he gets it, but Mark says he's a grinder: he doesn't complain, he comes to work and does his job. Briscoe says he's calling out MJF's manhood, and if Max wants to say he's the best, he needs to prove it. "Max, 'Devil,' I don't know if you read the book--but you LOSE!" 
  • THEKLA is here with SKYE BLUE and JULIA HART. She says that last week she promised that if even one person from Stardom came to AEW, she would burn Stardom to the ground. In Japan, she says, she used to be called the 'Idol Killer' because every 'kawaii' little girl made her sick so she had to take them all out. And then she got fired from Japan, so now she has to do it all over again. While Skye focuses on winning the Owen, and Julia looks to qualify for Survival of the Fittest to reclaim the TBS title, Thekla says she wants to close the Forbidden Door and declares death to all of Stardom. She then climbs a ladder that Skye and Julia have set up by the stage to hock up a loogie on the Stardom logo on the entrance screen.
  • The DEATH RIDERS are backstage. Danny is trying to hype up Will by reminding him that last time he faced Mark Davis, he wasn't at 100% and got dropped on his neck. JON MOXLEY walks up and tells Danny to fuck off.
    • "I know Mark Davis has been taking up space in your mind. That memory, those thoughts; now's the time to discard them forever. Right now. He's not a movie monster; he's Mark Davis. You know him, you've wrestled him, he's got two arms, two legs, you can beat him... and you're going to"..."This Will Ospreay, indestructible in mind and spirit, what you're becoming. Don Callis is gonna have to hire a truck driver to run you over with an 18-wheeler if he wants to beat you tonight. I don't like the temperature around here lately, all these groups and alliances and gang warfare, I don't like it. You don't worry about that. You've got one job tonight: pin his shoulders to the mat and break his arm. You stay on task. You beat Mark Davis. That's your job. Everything else... you let me worry about that. I'll take care of it." 
  • Andrade has a mic after he kills a jobber. He says that now that MJF has the world title again, he really wants it. He says he knows MJF beat his friend RUSH, but asks if MJF thinks he can beat the real Latino man. How you know? DON CALLIS's brown note has now hit as Don comes out with JAKE SOMETHING. Andrade looks a bit taken aback and Don takes the mic. He has something important to say.
    • Don says the newest member of the Don Callis Family is KEVIN KNIGHT, who now comes out. Don is so excited that he spits his false teeth out. Don has acquired the TNT Champion, and with it, the title. Andrade looks frustrated. Kevin and Don embrace in the ring. SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY's music hits and it's time for this TNT title bout; Speedball is walking to the ring with a purpose.
  • Speedball late in this match hits Time Adventure on Kevin and sends him into the corner, but can't get him off the top when trying the Flamingo Driver. Instead he hits a rising gamengiri and starts climbing to the top. Jake Doyle gets on the other end of the apron to distract Rick Knox as Don pulls Speedball's leg and crotches him. Kevin hits a Sky High off the top before pulling Speedball in for the Rock Bottom to take the match home. 
  • Kevin post-match says that he's in the Family for one reason only: to get straight to the top and become Jet 2 Belts. He says he's waiting on MJF.
  • Renee Paquette is backstage with DAVID FINLAY and CLARK CONNORS. Clark says last week they killed Cope & Cage and invented the New 5 Second Pose before beating the tar out of the Bang Bang Gang. They're tapping into their own personal Edge & Christian roots as David produces "5-Second Brews and 5-Second Kazoos."
    • The YOUNG BUCKS are here to crash the party. Nick Jackson says What The Dog Doin. Matt calls Finlay Bullet Club's worst leader ever and Clark "Temu Hangman." The Bucks feel that they're the rightful no. 1 contenders to the tag titles and says they brought their gear and are willing to fight it out tonight. Finlay says the true no. 1 contenders will wrestle when they feel like it.
  • Renee Paquette is backstage with MJF who is in the bath. She asks for comments on Mark Briscoe; MJF reiterates: "No Match For You, You Bumpkin." "For the last and final time: stop asking, cuz it ain't happening."
  • It's time for this Owen match, and to find out who the wild card is. Alex is out first. The wild card is, in fact, a returning MERCEDES MONÉ. The CEO has a brand new theme and is here in all black.
    • Mercedes gets Windsor hung up in the corner and drops her knees on Windsor's gut, driving her to the mat. The ensuing cover gets her a 2 count; Mercedes then sits in place, adjusting her hair, and says "I'm calm. I went to therapy. I'm good."
    • Mercedes taps Windsor out with the Statement Maker and leaves with the belt. I know she is the reigning champion but that title is very much not hers to keep. 
  • Renee Paquette is backstage with Don Callis and KAZUCHIKA OKADA. Okada intends to take the International Championship back from Konosuke Takeshita.
  • TOMMASO CIAMPA is backstage pacing because Chris Jericho isn't here. Ciampa tells Jericho to stay home, but if he does choose to return, he will be waiting--unless he strikes first.
  • Mark Davis hits Close Your Eyes and Count to Fuck on Will Ospreay but raises his left arm, which he had previously planted on the mat, to shake it out while covering him. Will had been working over that arm shortly before this and was trying to lock in Death Ground. The release of pressure on Will's right shoulder allows him to shoot it off the mat at 2.
    • Ospreay hits the Styles Clash and Davis escapes the pinfall attempt. Will gets up and tries the OsCutter; Davis catches him and goes for a back drop driver, Will lands on his feet and takes a rear waistlock and Davis elbows him back. Davis now tries for an enzuigiri; Will ducks out of the way and Paul Turner gets clocked and fucking dies. Over the next six minutes we're off to the races.
    • Ospreay lays out Davis with the Hidden Blade and for some reason just decides to cover him even though he can tell Turner's dead on the floor. Davis doesn't get up. The Don Callis Family send in the heaters: TRENT BERETTA and EL CLON run in and attack Will. They're setting up for some kind of assisted Crunchie with Trent holding Will in place while El Clon climbs up to the top. Instead, Trent gets booted in the face by DANIEL GARCIA and Ospreay turns it into a sunset flip powerbomb. WHEELER YUTA throws El Clon off the top and Danny holds him in place while he hits a Busaiko Knee.
    • LANCE ARCHER runs in and double crossbodies the Dark Horses. He's then met with a springback European uppercut from CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI. The line keeps moving as BRIAN CAGE runs in with the pants and hits a TKO to lay out Claudio, and PAC hits a combination of kicks to ground Cage.
    • Davis tries a back drop suplex on PAC but he flips out of it and lands on his front before Will hits the OsCutter on Davis. Will motions to PAC to get Paul Turner in the ring; he does so and Turner starts the count, but JAKE SOMETHING almost immediately pulls him back out to the floor before killing PAC with an elbow.
    • Jake hits the Jake Something Press on Ospreay. He's waiting for Will to get back to his feet before MARINA SHAFIR leaps onto his back and locks in a sleeper hold. Jake grabs the back of her head and just whips her off him to the floor. She responds by spitting her gum at him. JON MOXLEY gets in the ring and they slug it out before Mox hits the Paradigm Shift on Jake; he and Marina Cactus Line Jake out of the ring. PAC does an Orihara moonsault onto everyone and they all fight up the entryway.
    • Will takes a double underhook on Davis. He wants something but he's not going to get it as KYLE FLETCHER is now in the ring and hits a half-and-half suplex on Ospreay before producing a screwdriver. He's doing a wake up taunt to Ospreay but gets pulled out of the ring by KONOSUKE TAKESHITA and they brawl out from ringside.
    • Fletcher dropped the screwdriver in the ring, and it's now in the hand of Davis. Mark intends to attack Will with it but Will hits a Hidden Blade to Davis's arm to release it before laying him out with a second one squarely between the eyes. Bryce Remsburg runs in to make the count, but somehow Davis is aware enough to kick out at 2.9.
    • Will wants a third Hidden Blade, this time to the back of Davis's head, but Mark drops down and ducks a round kick before dropping Will entirely on his shit with a second piledriver. Will, somehow, finds it in himself to kick out at 2.9. Mark wants his rebound lariat but Will floats over and successfully locks in the Death Ground armbar to tap out Davis.

DEVELOPMENTS

  • After Double or Nothing, Renee Paquette meets WILL OSPREAY backstage. She congratulates him on the win and he says his neck feels fantastic. He's heading to the trainer's room to ice his bicep. He sees KENNY OMEGA there, who wants to talk to him about his association with the Death Riders and Will looks taken aback by this. "My worry is that you can't trust those guys," he says. "You come back from a career-threatening injury, you had me by your side. I would do anything for you, Will. For you to realize your dream of being champion? There's nothing I wouldn't do--why didn't you ask for me? It would have been so easy for me to help you, Will."
    • Will retorts: "For sure, it would've been, if you showed up. Mate, with all due respect, you're not here." "I can't be here every week, Will." "Why not? This is the 'best that Kenny Omega's ever felt' for a while so why aren't you here, man?" Kenny says he lost his chance, presumably at the world title, and he can't rebound the way he used to, be it physically, mentally, or emotionally. "Again, I get the appeal to the Death Riders. They're serious. They mean business. They get the job done, so I'm not saying don't trust them... what I'm saying is be careful, as a friend."
    • JON MOXLEY walks into the room as Kenny says this. "It's good advice. We all... have our... skeletons. Don't we?" Kenny mutters, "yeah, don't we all?" Moxley hands Ospreay the ice pack he had set to the side, telling him the Death Riders truck is outside. "Look, I'll, uh... I'll leave you two to do your neck bridges or whatever it is that Death Riders do, but, hey--for real, anytime, call me." Kenny leaves, and Ospreay tells him not to give up on the world title. 
  • Here comes the Jet. KEVIN KNIGHT is met with loud boos as he comes out looking literally exactly like The Rock. I mean, he's got the mannerisms, he's got the outfit, this literally is just prime Rock. It's unbelievable.
    • It's hard for Kevin to so much as get a word in over the "FUCK YOU, KEVIN" chants and the booing. "You know, I shouldn't expect anything less from you meathead sickos," he says. "Y'all gonna give some respect to The Jet when I got the mic, you hear me?" Knight shouts over "SHUT THE FUCK UP" chants. Kevin's here to explain his attack on Darby Allin. "I told Darby Allin not to let The Jet down. I told him not to let you people down! And guess what he did? He blew it." The crowd is now chanting "ASSHOLE" at Kevin. "Darby Allin blew it. Just like the Sixers did against the Knicks: he let us all down. Philly, I'm--I'm with y'all! I'm on your side! He let us all down." Kevin says he did what he had to do. "Who was the last person that MJF was looking up at? Who was the last person that humbled MJF? Me. The Jet."
    • Kevin thinks he should have had the main event at Double or Nothing, but instead he was in the back. "Do I look like a bench player to y'all? Am I not a highlight each and every time I step in this ring?" "I'm not here just to take part in AEW. I'm here to take over this whole damn company." [...] "When I first got here in this business, Darby Allin told me, 'don't waste any time.' So when I saw that he couldn't get the job done, I came out there, and I didn't waste any time leaving him in a pool of his own blood with The Jet standing right there on top of him."
    • SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY's entrance hits, and they're walking with purpose down to the ring. "Kevin, I hear what you're saying, but I know you. I know how ambitious you are, and that's your best and your worst quality. The reason we work so well as a team is because we both want to be the best. But Kevin, you're impatient. You get ahead of yourself. And you make mistakes. And what you did to Darby Allin at Double or Nothing? That was a mistake. But we can fix this. If you apologize and own up to what you did, we can make things right." Speedball holds their hand out, saying "be a man. Own up to what you did. You know it's messed up. Do the right thing," and Kevin's considering this. He goes to take Speedball's hand but instead just shoulder checks and walks past them before suddenly turning around and decking them with the microphone. Kevin's got the same reaction he had after he attacked Darby. He goes to leave the ring, but changes his mind, instead grabbing Speedball by the wrist and hitting the craziest fucking Rock Bottom ever.
  • Renee Paquette is backstage with THE DEMAND. She tells him he's beaten Jericho twice with the Rico-sault, but at Stadium Stampede, Jericho got the pin off the Lionsault. Ricochet says he's not concerned with Jericho and that he got lucky at Double or Nothing. Bishop Kaun interjects and says that he won because the opposing team mugged him 7-to-1. Toa says it's a travesty that he and Bishop can't come to ringside tonight. Ricochet tells Jericho that it's not that he doesn't have his guys, it's that Jericho doesn't have six other guys to save his ass when he has him beat.
  • Jericho beats Ricochet with a string of a Codebreaker, Judas Effect, and Lionsault unanswered. His post-match celebration is interrupted by TOMMASO CIAMPA rushing the ring and attacking him from behind. Ciampa chokes him out and beats him down before hitting him with his signature running knee.
  • The IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion ANDRADE EL ÍDOLO is backstage. He says that now that the Stadium Stampede is over, he can focus on the world title. "MJF, do you think you are better than a real Latino man?... How you know?"
  • This 4-way match is happening just because. I'm not sure any of these guys necessarily need the money but we're working. Lio Rush is still a freak.
    • Orange doesn't really know what to make of Lio, and frankly he doesn't really want to touch him.
    • Late in this match, Orange hits a tope tornado DDT on Brian Cage. Suddenly, LANCE ARCHER and ROCKY ROMERO come out of the crowd. It's a 4-way so there's no disqualifications. Orange wipes out Rocky and Lance but suddenly gets clobbered from behind by a returning JAKE SOMETHING. RODERICK STRONG and KYLE O'REILLY are here to brawl with them, including Brian Cage, all the way to the back. Lance basically kidnaps Orange. This 4-way match has effectively become a head-to-head affair between Lio Rush and RUSH.
    • RUSH has brought back the green wire to choke Lio with. 
  • Renee Paquette is backstage with MJF. He's got the Triple B around his shoulder and is dragging the regular world title on the floor. He's wearing some fucked up shit. This interview is interrupted by KEVIN KNIGHT. Max says he wanted to thank Kevin for attacking Darby because he says he knows Kevin did it to show respect to the biggest star in the company. Kevin stops him as he tries to leave and tells him he didn't do anything because of MJF, he did it because Darby blew an opportunity that should have gone to him. He reminds Max that he still very much intends to dethrone him.
    • Kevin now runs into KYLE FLETCHER, who eyes the TNT title. DON CALLIS is here and the literal first thing he says when he sees a Black man is "so much young athleticism in one place" which you know really checks out for Don Callis. Don tells Kevin that if he ever wants to get serious about becoming "Jet Two Belts," he and Kyle are around. 
  • Renee Paquette is backstage with the BRAWLING BIRDS. Jamie says her loss is water off a duck's back and reminds Renee that she did take Thekla's head off. She reaffirms that next time she will take the title. Alex Windsor has her quarterfinal match in the Owen next week against a wild card opponent, and she addresses Willow, saying that when she's back healthy, she's ready to throw down. Windsor says she's been preparing for this her entire career. She gasses up Will Ospreay as well.
  • It is time for the MJF townhall. He is being carried out on a palanquin and drops the normal world title belt in a garbage can. MJF says in the history of major promotions since the 1800s, only eight men have ever been three-time world champions at age 30 and tells the crowd they should feel fortunate to be witnessing it. He does the Rainmaker pose as a banner that says "3x World Champion" falls from the ceiling with confetti.
    • MARK BRISCOE's theme hits as he walks down to the ring and tears the banner down. "Friedman!... lookin' at you standin' here in this city... man, you like a stranger in a strange place... what I'm sayin' is you don't fit in here, Max. It's kinda like if a-if a *penguin* was wanderin' through the desert... and I'm not talkin' about one of those exotic South American beach penguins..." Mark says that some of the toughest people in the world are in Philadelphia, and Max sticks out like a sore thumb because tough he is not.
    • Briscoe reminds MJF that it wasn't long ago that he pinned him in the middle of the ring, and he wants a title shot. Max says no because AEW isn't just a sport, it's a business, and it's bad enough that an "emo freak" like Darby Allin "even sniffed" the title. Max says if Briscoe challenged for the title, it'd put the company out of business.
    • Max goes to leave but as he gets to the stage RUSH's tron hits. RUSH already wanted a world title match if Darby retained. "You are not a fighting champion!...a no eres, cabrón. And it's too funny that's a chicken farmer, but you? You're a chicken... SHIT!" RUSH says he's nearly beaten Max before, and he wants his title shot. Max says he agrees that if anyone's earned a title shot, it's RUSH, and he's more marketable than Mark Briscoe. RUSH will get his match on Dynamite next week.
  • JUNGLE JACK PERRY is in the Jurassic Express. He's 1-1 with Mark Davis, but the stakes are higher than ever because a world title shot in the line. LUCHASAURUS slams on the brakes in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, known colloquially as the Rocky Steps, and wants Jack to go climb them. This leads into a dramatic training montage with Luchasaurus as his trainer. Luchasaurus also drinks a cup full of egg yolks gross style.
  • Claudio and Brody beat the fuck out of each other. This match is like 95% strikes. Last minute or so, Brody picks up Claudio into powerslam position but Claudio slips out and uppercuts him in the back. A rolling lariat from Brody is intercepted and Claudio uppercuts Brody's front. He ducks a line and springs back off the middle rope; Brody catches him and hits the ropes himself only for Claudio to nail him on a pop-up uppercut. Claudio's staggered, though, and Brody beasts it and wipes Claudio out on a meaty lariat to get the 3.
  • It is time for the CAGE & COPE townhall. Christian tells the crowd to sit down and shut up while he conducts business and Adam tells him to stop. "What did I say that was so bad, huh? What, it's not like I banged any of their mothers... actually, maybe I did." Christian straight up does not get why the things he says might be disapproved of by the crowd.
    • He addresses FTR, putting them over but reaffirming that they are, in fact, better than FTR. Adam says that FTR agreed to an "I Quit" match with two guys who, between them, were retired for a combined 16 years before getting their careers back. It's time for the 5-second pose, or at least Copeland says. Cage refuses so Adam rallies the crowd. Christian tells him that they don't even "make flash photography anymore" so Adam goes out and retrieves from under the ring a sack full of disposable cameras that he says he bought 20 years ago. He hands them out to the crowd and they're about to do the pose when CLARK CONNORS and DAVID FINLAY attack both of them. Finlay beats Christian's injured arm with the shillelagh before crushing it under the ring steps. David chokes out Edge with the shillelagh before Connors spears him. They then do their own five-second pose after Connors announces their intent to take the tag titles.
  • PRINCE NANA is backstage with SWERVE STRICKLAND. He tells us that Swerve is taking the Owen and going back to the main event at Wembley. Swerve congratulates Brody. He says he gets a sentimental feeling when he sees Brody succeed, because without Swerve, nobody would know Brody's name because he broke Brody into the industry in 2016. He says he doesn't care how Bandido's doing; all that matters is that millions of people watched what he did to him and couldn't look away. "One thing I learned about making money in this country, right: conflicts creates cash. War makes money. And Brody... I plan to make a lot of money with you."
  • We get a picture in picture pretape with DIVINE DOMINION during TAYJAY's entrance. "Welcome back. The clock is ticking: not for how long your match is, but to see how long we let you stay alive. Tick-tock, TayJay."
  • SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY is backstage. They say Kevin Knight made his choice: he heard what they had to say, they offered him their hand, and he attacked them in return. "Is that the road you wanna go down? Well, so be it. We can walk down it together, just on opposite sides. So how about me and you, one on one? You wanna show the world who you really are?"
  • Mark Davis knocks Jack Perry to the floor from the apron and is content to sit on the top turnbuckle and let Perry get counted out. This pisses Taz the fuck off because he's doing it in Philadelphia to the point where he takes off his headset and literally yells "STEALIN' MY GIMMICK!" directly at Davis.
    • This match gets three segments. Heading into the second break, Davis gourdbusters Perry as hard as he fucking can on the apron. The impact of Perry's legs against the ropes literally knocks his shoes off. Mark proceeds to take Jack's socks off and stomps on his bare feet repeatedly.
    • Perry gets Davis in a front guillotine on the top rope and proceeds to literally snap suplex him DDT-style from there. He's able to hit a piledriver on Davis for a 2.9. Perry also survives the rebound lariat at 2.9.
    • Perry's got Mark back up top but this time inadvertently crotches himself because he's not used to navigating the ropes shoeless. Davis uses this opportunity to kill Jack with a spinning piledriver off the second to win the match. 
  • Renee Paquette gets in the ring with Mark and Don, who has something important to say. He reminds Will that he was in the Don Callis Family and thought he was the Chosen One. He never was, and neither was Konosuke Takeshita, he says. The only Chosen One in the Family is KYLE FLETCHER who is now here to make his entrance with ROCKY ROMERO. 
    • Kyle embraces Don as Rocky taunt spams and then shakes Davis's hand because he doesn't know what else to do. Kyle says he came back from his torn meniscus and twice-broken leg in under two months because he's a genetic anomaly. There was something else that pushed him to get healthy, though: he wanted to be the man to cut loose the dead weight of the Family.
    • "I have been trying to hold this family together for the better part of a year, when Konosuke Takeshita has tried to drive a wedge between us. And the second that I was out of the way, he did what he always does: what's best for him. You see, Konosuke Takeshita, he never cared about the Family. Takeshita never cared about me. And the sad thing is, I really wanted to sit atop the wrestling world alongside Takeshita! ProtoShita running the whole world! But now, that is never going to happen, because Konosuke Takeshita is a selfish PRICK."
    • KONOSUKE TAKESHITA's theme hits, and the new International Champion is here. Kyle is goading him on, but suddenly THE CONGLOMERATION--O'Reilly, Strong, Briscoe, and Cassidy--come out to back Takeshita up. They slowly walk to the ring and get in, promptly Fletcher, Romero, and Davis to vacate the ring. Takeshita grabs the microphone left behind and says he's got his title back. "Now... Kyle Fletcher... I... want... YOU!" 
  • WILL OSPREAY is backstage ahead of his trios match with Moxley and PAC against the Rascalz. He congratulates Mark Davis on advancing to the semifinals. "Hey, our history is very well-documented. You was in the United Empire with me, you lived in my house for a year and didn't pay me any rent, but what's documented is you are the one guy who has [won] a match with a doctor's stoppage. That doesn't sit right with me, because I was at 50% when I wrestled you last. Now, baby, I'm a hundred percent, and there is nothing--I mean nothing--stopping me from going to Wembley Stadium, bruv!"
    • JON MOXLEY, PAC, and MARINA SHAFIR are now here. Mox is jumping. A likely thing for him to do. Mox fist bumps Ospreay, and Will offers the same to PAC, telling him good luck. Marina reaches over and intercepts the fist bump, but PAC doesn't take it, blowing him off. Ospreay fist bumps himself. The Death Riders turn and walk away, but Ospreay is right by the stage. "My entrance is this way, guys!"
    • If Ospreay never fully joins the Death Riders, it is going to be because he is far too extra to give up his entrance. Mox, PAC, and Marina still enter from the crowd. 
  • Moxley and PAC hot start on Wentz and Reed and fight them to the floor. Ospreay is surprised by this, evidently unaware of the game plan, and he and Xavier go to work in the ring instead. Ospreay's style shift is noticeable, going into an international with Xavier and just booting him out of the air when Dezmond tries to leapfrog him.
    • Ospreay takes a wristlock on Xavier and backs towards the corner where he's looking for a tag from Moxley, but PAC instead tags himself in. Ospreay looks confused at the treatment and Mox just pats his shoulder. PAC tags in Moxley not long after.
    • Marina is basically serving as the coach this match, making calls to all three men on her team. The Death Rider team starts running a train on Myron in the corner that Will gets in on, and he and PAC start clicking with a tag team whip to Moxley who hits an Ace Crusher. Ospreay and PAC boot Dezmond and Zachary off the apron before hitting stereo topes con giro. Myron somehow kicks out of a piledriver.
    • Ospreay double stomps the left arm of Reed being held by Moxley off the top before doing his La Mística setup move to ground him. Wentz charges Ospreay with a round kick but Ospreay boots Wentz in the gut into a rear body lock from Moxley in the corner. Xavier now goes for the Kardiak Kick on Ospreay but Ospreay goes low and back bodies him. PAC takes the Brutalizer on Dezmond. Will throws a kick at Myron who catches it but Ospreay takes over into Death Ground. Myron taps out the moment Ospreay gets into full extension. Tony Schiavone says this is the 200th win for Moxley in AEW.
  • THE OPPS are backstage. Joe says they stand in opposition of anyone who stands in their way, and they provide opportunities for men who deserve them. "Once again, opportunity calls, and Hollywood's ringing." Joe is going to be gone for a few months, presumably filming Twisted Metal.
  • Lexy Nair is backstage trying to get a word with TAYJAY. She instead runs into DIVINE DOMINION. Lena says "that only lasted 30 seconds"; Lexy turns the corner to reveal Tay and Anna, who have been Killed.
  • Andrade goes to take a selfie with a woman in the front row. He takes the phone to take a front shot so I guess she wraps her arms around his neck and walks forward and literally pulls her over the barricade to do this. She is confused but they take the picture anyway and then he picks her up and sets her back over the railing.
    • Ace Austin, seated in the corner, cuts off Andrade by dodging the meteora, going up and hitting a spinning gamengiri. Austin wants the Fold but Andrade intercepts him with the murderous back elbow and hits the DM to win the match.
  • Main event time on Collision. It's an unsanctioned street fight between Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida, between whom tensions have boiled over. Shida starts the match swinging for the fences with her kendo stick but Kris boots it out of her hand.
    • Shida and Statlander fight into the corner of ringside. A fan tosses Shida an apple, which she catches and hits her in the head with before doing 10 punches in the corner with it. Shida now somehow has gotten a second apple and stuffs it in Kris's mouth before hitting a round kick to the side of her head. Kris powerbombs Shida on the floor.
    • Kris and Shida brawl into the tunnel of the entranceway and this makes the crowd very unhappy because they can no longer see them. Statlander gets up a metal barricade against a chair and tries to suplex Shida but Shida counters and does it to Stat instead.
    • Shida lays out Kris on the stage and walks backstage once more. She emerges riding a bicycle, which she proceeds to run over the fingers of Statlander with. Taz says that happened to his friend Joey Tuccalomundo as a kid. Shida then just discus throws the bicycle into Kris's head and Excalibur compares that to Kiryu from Yakuza. Kris kicks out at 2.
    • Shida tries to enter a Duel of the Fates with Kris. The issue here is that Shida has her kendo stick and Kris has a whole-ass chair. That ends poorly for Shida.
    • Shida hits a Falcon Arrow for a two count but Kris, in the action of kicking out, fully kips up to her feet and this is horrifying to Shida, who gets fucking decked in the face by a thrown chair. Kris has produced a table on the commentary end of ringside. Shida, on the other end, is Assembling the Structure with chairs. While she does this, Kris tries to do the Strowman Express spot and gets drop toe held into a chair. Shida wants to suplex Kris into a set of four chairs but Stat counters and DVDs Shida onto them.
    • Kris now produces a bundle of three light tubes. Shida begs off, pleading for mercy. Kris relents and sets them down, less out of pity but evidently more out of a feeling that it's simply too much work. As she turns back around Shida immediately rakes her eyes and then cracks the bundle of light tubes across Stat's back. Another Falcon Arrow is still only good enough for a 2 count.
    • Kris's lower back has been opened up badly and it's not helped by Shida starting to whale on her with her kendo stick. Shida wants to pillmanize Stat's neck vertical style but Stat throws the chair into her face. They fight to the apron next to the set-up table; Shida grabs a different kendo stick and swings it at Statlander and hits her in the side but Kris tanks it, ripping it out of her hands and snapping it over her knee before digging the splintered ends into the forehead of Shida before hitting Staturday Night Fever off the apron through the table.
    • Kris rolls Shida back into the ring. HARLEY CAMERON is now running out from the back and hands her Shida's special kendo stick. Stat cracks Shida across the back and hits a second Staturday Night Fever to win the match. Harley gets in to celebrate with Kris, but Statlander remains a bit aloof. Shida looks furious.
