DEVELOPMENTS

• Kenny Omega disposes of Bad Dude Tito with the One Winged Angel, and he has a mic after the opener. He says a week ago, he asked himself what the next plan of action is to climb back to the top. It came to him: if he couldn't make it in time for the Owen, but Zack Sabre Jr. needed an opponent for Forbidden Door, and an opponent he will have. Kenny's still got his eyes set on MJF and the World title.
• The National Champion MARK DAVIS is backstage with KYLE FLETCHER. Kyle says the reason Mark Davis isn't in the final of the Owen is solely that of Konosuke Takeshita. Fletcher compares Takeshita to a jealous ex-girlfriend, and he plans on taking a measure of revenge by bringing the International title back to the Don Callis Family. KAZUCHIKA OKADA is here, and he agrees. They shake on it. Davis says nothing this promo.
• Hikaru Shida has forgotten how to do a stretch muffler but Zayda Steel taps out anyway. She continues to attack Steel after the bell, and Christopher Daniels has to get between them. Mike Posey is not really helping very much.
• THE OPPS are backstage with Lexy Nair. Bowens cuts a promo about how it's Pride of Professional Wrestling Month and how Joe has told him to choose violence, and ends with his new standing ovation gimmick. This makes Hook really mad and he basically tells him to shut the fuck up because he's the new kid. Bowens is confused by this because Hook's been an asshole lately and Hook doesn't really give him much. Hook says The Opps aren't about applause but about violence which... kind of still lines up with what Bowens was saying but I don't really have much faith in Hook's listening comprehension. He tells Lexy to talk to him instead of anyone else when she talks to The Opps.
• Dezmond Xavier has a mic after disposing of the Atlas Boys. They put over MYRON REED, their teammate who's got a match for the TNT Championship due up next.
• Tony Schiavone tells us out of the break in this TNT title match that on Dynamite Wednesday, MJF and Mark Briscoe will pick their teams for the main event steel cage match at Forbidden Door, then those teams will compete in a traditional 12-man tag team match later on in the show.
• Kevin survives a rapid-fire exchange with Myron and wins with the Crash Landing to retain the title.
• DIVINE DOMINION video package. They're still looking for worthy challengers to their championships. 
• MAYA WORLD is out in the parking lot. She says on Sunday at 3 AM, she woke up to the news that her big brother, who introduced her to wrestling, had passed away. Tony Khan and AEW, she says, told her to take time off, but she refused because she felt she needed to be with her second family. After upsetting Skye Blue, she faces down Athena, who, she says, taught her everything that she knows: "if everything I know that you taught me comes back to bite you in the ass, that's on you." Maya's well aware of the improbability of her having this opportunity to begin with, and she doesn't intend to take it for granted.
• ATHENA is backstage and she hasn't taken kindly to the words from Maya. She expresses condolences for Maya's loss, but she's also feeling pretty sorry for herself. She's never made it out of the second round of the Owen. "Just because I taught you everything that you know... doesn't mean I taught you everything I know."
• Athena keeps attacking Tiara James after submitting her to the Koji Clutch, prompting Maya to run out and make the save. Athena powders, and leaves up the ramp, before suddenly running back out and now attacking Maya. Mike Posey is exactly zero help. That is now the second time tonight he has allowed this to happen.
• THE DEMAND are backstage. Ricochet wants Takeshita and the International title.
• David Finlay hits Matt Jackson with the shillelagh from the floor and Clark spears him, but Nick is able to break up the pin. He handles them both for a moment, but Clark gets him to the apron and spears him through the ropes. The Dogs hit Full Clip on Matt Jackson to pick up the win.
• THE CONGLOMERATION--Kyle, Roddy, and Big Tom--are backstage and they're looking forward to the main event cage match at Forbidden Door. They're intent on securing Mark Briscoe's shot at the world title.
• Tony Schiavone is trying to formally apologize to Stardom for Thekla's actions last week. THEKLA is now here and cuts him off and basically tells him to shut the fuck up. This crowd is eating this up, so maybe Stardom are the heels in this storyline. Thekla wants Stardom's "best girl" for a shot at the AEW Women's World title at Forbidden Door, and she calls out Taro Okada--the president of Stardom who she's publicly beefed with in the past--and says she'll buy him a first-class ticket to sit in the front row at Forbidden Door to see the monster he created.
• The BANG BANG GANG are backstage. Austin Gunn calls out The Dogs, and declares that he spent the $200,000 they won as a team months ago on property in a strip mall and registered an LLC. Colten Gunn is just now finding all of this information out, and supposes that it explains why at home he's kept receiving mail referencing "Juice Robinson's Super Affordable Quick & Easy Kinda Reliable Spay & Neuter Center for Lost Dogs."
• Juice, who was wearing shades, takes them off to reveal a second pair of glasses underneath and says that he handles all the procedures himself. "So guess what, Dogs? After you get snipped, and you're on the mends, you're both gonna get a cute little cone! Only problem with the cone is everyone knows you can't clean yourself." Juice now takes off the second pair of glasses. "But that's alright, cuz you can clean one another... and when Gabe comes back, you're gonna have to clean him, because he's gonna get the first appointment!!!!"
• Persephone's staggered after Julia repeatedly focuses on her eyes. Julia has the mist prepped but Persephone quite literally slaps it out of her mouth, splattering it across the canvas. Persephone hits the Razor's Edge to win the match and advances to Survival of the Fittest.
• THEKLA is backstage with Lexy Nair. We find out she'll be facing Starlight Kid at Forbidden Door. Thekla says she knows everything about her, and despises everything about her. She wants to make sure Starlight Kid's first time in AEW is her last. "The blood of Stardom will be on your hands."
• SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY was backstage earlier tonight. They say earlier they watched their former friend Kevin Knight defend the TNT title alone. They intend to start taking out every member of the Don Callis Family one by one. Kevin Knight comes out with Jake Something and gets on comms. It's a matchup of former DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling tag champions tonight.
• The Death Riders are coming in from outside the arena to head into this street fight, but they're jumped from behind on the stairs by STP and we're underway about as far from the ring as you can possibly be. I believe the bell rings but there's no audio from inside the arena besides comms.
• Carlie and Shawn bury Claudio under a stack of metal railings as the rest of the fight makes its way inside the building. Mox is focusing primarily on Shane and Danny is matched up predominantly with Lee.
• Everyone is brawling on the floor (minus Claudio) and they cut to the ring and Danny and Lee are just having an actual wrestling match. Lee and PAC proceed to just do rope-running drills for like 30 seconds. 
• Mox gets singled out in the ring by Shane, Carlie, and Shawn. Shane produces brass knuckles and clocks Jon in the head but they don't seem intent on pinning him and ending this as they continue to beat him down. Mox is busted open as the Infantry pick him back up for a second blow when Claudio suddenly rushes the ring and clears house. He manages to get a vertical suplex off on Taylor.
• Claudio now charges Dean in the corner, but Trish gets in his way and dares him to hit her before chopping him. Claudio responds by dramatically removing his lucha mask as if to reveal that he was, in fact, Claudio. I'm not sure how it could have been anyone else. Shane bodies Claudio and hits the ropes but Claudio double legs him and tries to go for the Giant Swing. Trish chops Claudio in the back twice before selling her hand and Claudio slowly turns around. Trish chops him again before he cuts her off. She starts trying to beg off when Marina stomps her calf and basically commands Claudio to give her the swing. Claudio's initially reluctant to do it but eventually says fuck it and gets it into motion. Marina dropkicks Trish out of it and she and Claudio dap up.
• Carlie Bravo commandeers a camera, walking over to Nigel McGuinness at commentary and throwing his water cup in his face. Lee tries to get between them when Danny suddenly charges Lee. Lee sidesteps this and Nigel gets clobbered by a running elbow. Danny's body language screams "ah, oh well" in response to this.
• Mox, face still covered in blood, is attacking Lee over by the barricade. A child shouts "Moxley! There's children over here!" as Mox is fishhooking him. Jon's response is "hey, you gotta grow up sometime," and he resumes punching Lee in the head.
• Out of break, Marina has apparently fallen victim to the Bronco Bustin' Cap'n. Carlie, Trish, and Shane are on the floor all yelling at the camera at the same time as behind them, Danny drags Marina out of the corner while Mox and Claudio set up a table in the ring. Shawn, who is still up on the middle turnbuckle, is also yelling at the camera when Claudio walks underneath him. Their eyes meet and Shawn starts begging for his life. None of the other three notice this, including Trish, who is now holding up money in front of her face. Shawn is screaming to get their attention before eating the stiffest powerbomb ever through the table which explodes. The other three are silenced by this and slowly turn back around.
• PAC hits an Orihara moonsault onto Bravo and Taylor. Danny and Lee are now once again having a match in the ring as Trish clubs Marina in the gut with what appears to be the side of a rollerskate. Danny tries a Dragon Screw on Lee who stays put and tries to take an armbar; Garcia instead stacks up Moriarty and gets a 2 count. That is the first pin attempt this match.
• The Death Riders run a train on Moriarty in the corner before a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker from Claudio and a dropkick from PAC to clear the ring. They proceed to do their ring around the rosie taunt, which Marina offers Mox to join. He evidently does not seem particularly interested and instead does a double bicep taunt. STP promptly charge the ring and clear house.
• Shawn has set PAC up on a table at ringside as Trish hits a brainbuster on Marina on the ramp. Shawn proceeds to dive onto PAC from a platform in the crowd; the table only really half breaks and they both just die. Claudio is now attempting to hit some kind of powerbomb on Shane onto the ring stairs, which have been set up near commentary. He's intercepted by Lee who locks in an octopus stretch. Claudio responds to this by walking up the steps, onto the barricade, and hitting an Air Raid Crash through the timekeeper's table.
• Danny turns Carlie inside out with a lariat in the ring. He picks him up for a piledriver but dumps him when CHRISTYAN XO walks out on the ramp and displays to Garcia her shirt which reads "DEATH RIDE DEEZ NUTS." The way Daniel decides that he's going to respond to this is by acting like he's going to do his hip dance taunt thing. He promptly gets cut off by Bravo taking a rear waistlock.
• Carlie gets the brass knuckles back from Christyan and wipes Danny out with them. She then gives him a metal chair from under the ring; he sets it up and calls Shawn to get in the ring with him, where they hit dueling curbstomps on Danny onto the chair. Moxley breaks the ensuing cover up with a basement dropkick and double DDTs Carlie and Shawn.
• Moxley has now produced an entire spare turnbuckle from underneath the ring, and I guess he intends to bash Shawn's fucking head in with it. Shane Taylor cuts him off and beats him down. Danny is busted open nasty style from the curbstomps. A "Cleveland sucks" chant has now broken out in the arena. With the assistance of The Infantry, Shane puts Moxley through a table next to commentary.
• STP now turn their attention on Marina, who is isolated in the ring. She is also bleeding from the head. STP minus Lee have surrounded Marina in the ring, who proceeds to attack all three men before Trish Adora takes her fucking head off with Lariat Tubman. Carlie and Shane are now ripping Marina's boots and socks off her feet as Trish retrieves a bag of what is revealed to be plastic army men. Shawn has a bag of his own; this one has thumbtacks and glass shards. All three of The Infantry pick up Marina and drop her feet-first into the pile of sharp objects; Marina responds to this by grinding her feet into them and booting Trish in the head; Claudio double lines Shawn and Carlie, sending them to the floor, before press slamming PAC onto them and Shane.
• Lee dumps Claudio over the top, then he and Danny once again go back to having a match. Moriarty locks in a Border City Stretch but Danny is able to grab a rogue shard of glass and lacerates Lee's hand with it to force him to break his grip. Danny takes over and locks in the Dragontamer. Shane Taylor comes in and takes Danny's head off; Marina jumps onto him jockey-style and Shane dumps her but gets met with an Ace Crusher from Moxley.
• Moxley's decided this one's over. All four men in the Death Riders run a train on Shane in the corner and PAC levels him with his rebound lariat. Moxley hits Paradigm Shift and covers Taylor to win the match.

Recap of AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster, 10 June 2026

===AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster 10 June 2026===

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.

• Distraction in favor of PAC by MARINA SHAFIR, WHEELER YUTA, DANIEL GARCIA

DEVELOPMENTS

• We're at a weird indoor golf venue. I'm not really sure what the appeal of TGL is but that's just me. Tony Schiavone, I think, has his headset audio too loud or something but we can hear whatever the production truck is telling commentary, including callouts counting down to when they get out of picture-in-picture. This guy LOVES his job.
• Don gets on the apron after a Frankensteiner to distract the referee so RICOCHET can run in and smash Jack Perry in the back with a golf club. He hides the club under the ring; Davis gets up and hits Close Your Eyes and Count to Fuck for the three. We've got a new National Champion.
• We've got a video package hyping up NICK WAYNE's participation in the Battle of the Super Juniors coming up, voiced over by Excalibur.
• Renee Paquette is here on the green, telling us that Will Ospreay's been medically cleared, and he'll be in action versus Ace Austin on Wednesday. 
• JACK PERRY is fucking PISSED backstage. He says winning the title in his hometown was one of the proudest moments of his career, and that Ricochet just ended that. He says he knows Chris Jericho wants a Stadium Stampede at Double or Nothing, though, and since it's called Double or Nothing, instead of two more guys, he'll bring them four: The Elite.
• We get an immediate response with Don, Davis, and Ricochet backstage. Don says he's thrilled because Jack Perry just gifted him an opportunity to beat up Ricochet, the Bucks, and Kenny all in one night, and that Davis is in for that Stadium Stampede. They're gonna go have some drinks and discuss who else is in.
• This tag match has a five-minute time limit in case you were wondering if this was going to go very long. Lena says backstage that they've come up with the "Divine Dominion Five-Minute Eliminator": if their opponents can survive five minutes, they'll earn a title shot.
• After that tag match, we get a brief recap of the women's tag match from Wednesday on Dynamite and the finish of Jamie Hayter vs. Skye Blue, as well as a brief recap of Thekla's title reign thus far. It'll be a four-way for the women's world title at Double or Nothing, with Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, and Jamie Hayter getting involved.
• The brackets for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments will be announced on Wednesday. 
• Don Callis is backstage out of the break and reminds us that the Don Callis Family are taking the world title on Wednesday from whoever has it at the end of the night. He tells us Okada is in Japan taking care of some family business, though, and in his place will be the firstborn of the Don Callis Family: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA. Takeshita reminds him he's still going to take the International title, but now he's the person who will bring the World title back to the Don Callis Family--unlike Okada.
• We get a look back at KYLE O'REILLY's last few months, tapping out Jon Moxley at Full Gear before returning at Dynasty to pick up the trios titles. His championship partner, Orange Cassidy, will be in a big 10-man tag on Wednesday.
• Standby match on tap. SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY is in the froggy gear tonight accompanied to the ring by the TNT Champion, Kevin Knight.
• After the match, Kevin says he liked what he saw, and even though he didn't become Jet Two Belts on Dynamite, he says the future in AEW is wide open, and he wants them to make it to the top together. They celebrate.
• Well, it's no countouts in our main event, so Darby IMMEDIATELY leaves the ring when the bell rings and goes onto the fairway. They fight for a bit before Darby hits the Code Red into a sand trap. They now fight to the other sand trap where Darby hits a shotgun dropkick and PAC flip bumps into it.
• PAC belly-to-belly suplexes Darby and gets the Brutalizer locked in in the sand. Darby fades, but the rules aren't falls count anywhere so even if Darby goes out he can't win out here. Stephon Smith is so mad at PAC he starts doing the Rainmaker pose. PAC press slams Darby back into the sand.
• PAC puts Darby in the corner back in the ring and ties the tag ropes around his throat before pulling him out feet first. PAC goes for his rebound lariat; Darby takes him out at the legs then does a fuckin Buckshot Scorpion Death Drop for a 2.
• PAC does the deal with a Falcon Arrow off the top for a 2 count. Darby's selling on the floor for a bit so PAC goes to set up a table. He puts Darby on it and goes up top and does a fucking shooter but crashes and burns when Darby dodges it. Darby tries to rush PAC into the ring, double legs him, and gets the Death Lock in.
• PAC gets to the ropes and, from the floor, signals for the Death Riders to come out. DANIEL GARCIA, WHEELER YUTA, and MARINA SHAFIR come out from the back and kind of just stand in the entrance way and Darby gets distracted long enough for PAC to hit a grimeline. The Death Riders now retrieve four tables from the back and stack them two by two over the next couple minutes as PAC hits a tombstone piledriver on top of the stairs. Darby, seemingly, is out cold.
• PAC and Darby fight up now to the second-story balcony where there is, coincidentally, a box placed at the edge of the railing for them to fight on. Marina has followed them. PAC and Darby are jockeying for position; Marina starts fucking with Stephon Smith which allows PAC to low blow Darby and throw him off the top. Darby dies.
• PAC races down the stairs and throws Darby in the ring and hooks his legs as deep as anyone ever has and Darby violently kicks out at 2. This is the most fucked up thing PAC has ever seen.
• Yuta distracts Stephon Smith with a chair. As he's shooing Yuta and Danny from ringside, Marina retrieves the championship belt and slides it into the ring. Darby is fully on his feet and cognizant, basically daring PAC to hit him, which stuns him for long enough for Darby to kick PAC in the nuts. He clubs him in the head with the title belt and hits the Coffin Drop to retain. PAC is helped out by Yuta and Danny.

DEVELOPMENTS

• THE CONGLOMERATION are backstage to start us off but FTR interrupt them because they need to do their townhall I guess. Cash says they accept Adam Copeland's challenge. Dax says nobody wants Adam and Christian here and that he wants to amend the match at Double or Nothing to an I Quit match.
• The Conglomeration come out as FTR are leaving. They stare down on the ramp; Kyle and Roddy push over Dax and Cash and Stokely falls on his ass when Orange feigns a punch.
• Andrade stops Orange from putting his hands in his pockets and goes to remove his pants but he stops after unbuckling his belt. Orange responds by doing his shoot kicks but at the end instead pulls his belt all the way off. They go into an International that ends with Orange pantsing Andrade. Later on, Andrade takes Orange's shirt off and puts it on himself; when he goes to ringside to meet with the woman of the week, she takes it off of him before they take a selfie.
• It's time to see what happened to WILL OSPREAY after the Death Riders left with him. JON MOXLEY is sitting in a chair in the parking garage; there's another chair set up opposite him that Claudio sets him onto. Yuta throws water in his face; Danny immediately corpses. Marina takes a towel and wraps it around his neck before cranking it to one side and then the other. I guess this fixed his neck somehow.
• "What is it you're trying to accomplish, other than breaking my neck?" Moxley asks. "When you go to the ring... when you get up in the morning... where are you trying to go, who are you trying to be? What is it you're chasing? I don't think you know the answers to those questions anymore." Moxley says that eventually, Will's body will break down.
• "You can try to run through the brick wall as many times as you want, the wall's not going anywhere. But, if you step back and realize there's a door, you can walk right through it and become whoever you want on the other side." Moxley, it seems, wants to train Ospreay to have better control over his mind. "We can turn you into a weapon like professional wrestling has never seen. This 'thing' has gotta come to a head one way or another... we can saddle up," he produces a metal chair and throws it on the ground in front of Ospreay, "and you can be just like everybody else... or you can become everything you were meant to be. Your choice."
• Moxley has now made himself fully prone on the ground with his hands behind his back, completely vulnerable, as Ospreay cautiously takes the metal chair. He's completely unsure of what to make of this. He takes a beat before demanding the camera operator leave.
• Mox is on commentary for this ensuing 10-man tag. Given that his neck isn't fucked up, it's safe to assume that Ospreay did not Pillmanize him.
• Lexy Nair backstage with HIKARU SHIDA, KRIS STATLANDER, HARLEY CAMERON, and MINA SHIRAKAWA. Harley is still throwing a pity party over Stat not training her, and Mina demands Shida apologize to Harley for what she said behind her back. Shida says, in English, that Harley is not on their level and never has been, and that if she doesn't believe that, she and Statlander will do what they couldn't--beat Divine Dominion for the tag titles. Kris looks kind of blindsided by this assertion. Harley says something to Shida in Japanese and those three start arguing as Kris leaves for her match, bewildered. B3CCA proceeds to hot start on her lol
• Kris handily defeats B3CCA but blows past Shida on her way up the ramp, almost treating her like she's not there. This is a reluctant pairing to be certain.
• Lexy Nair backstage now with DIVINE DOMINION. She asks for a response to Shida's challenge, and Kross asks why should they be worried? They say nobody looks, moves, or destroys like they do. It seems like Bayne and Kross have no problem with Shida and Statlander coming for their belts.
• After Dynamite, we hear from KONOSUKE TAKESHITA. He says out of respect for Don Callis and the Family, he tried to avoid this, but if Okada wants to face him at Double or Nothing, he'll happily take his title--bitch.
• KAZUCHIKA OKADA responds tonight. He says he doesn't fear him, he doesn't like him, and he doesn't respect him. Then he shouts something in Japanese and says at Double or Nothing, you LOSE!!!!!
• Persephone goes for Razor's Edge on Skye Blue, but as Thekla distracts the ref, JULIA HART slips into the ring and mists Persephone. Paul Turner's never able to see the mist, and Skye hits Code Blue to pick up the pin.
• El Clon once again removes the Velcro cover from his eyes. He's got his face painted like the mask underneath.
• WILLOW NIGHTINGALE video package. She's once again looking for someone else to return and challenge her for the TBS title.
• THE OPPS are backstage. Hook tells Joe that he's been recruiting, he hasn't done jack shit. ANTHONY BOWENS wants to know if he's in The Opps, Hook and Joe say there's no more vacancies--but that's because Bowens has filled it. He's in.
• The Hurt Syndicate are wiping out GOA on the floor, leaving just Ricochet and Jericho in the ring. Aubrey Edwards is distracted by the carnage at ringside which allows Ricochet to low blow Jericho and hit the "Ricosault" to pick up his second consecutive pinfall win over purple boy.

DEVELOPMENTS

• ADAM COPELAND is here. He says Christian's not here tonight because he's getting an MRI to see if his arm is broken tomorrow. He says he's not done with FTR and that it's not just about the titles. FTR are now here and RPG VICE jump him from behind so it's 4 on 1 and they stomp his ass out. The YOUNG BUCKS are here to make the save for Copeland. The ring is cleared and Copeland shakes hands with the Bucks.
• JACK PERRY backstage. He wants to face any member of the Don Callis Family next week for the National title.
• CLARK CONNORS and DAVID FINLAY jump the Young Bucks after the opening match. DEZMOND XAVIER comes out to make the save but all of the Rascalz die big style. David Finlay says to kill the Dogs, they need to kill all of them.
• DIVINE DOMINION video package. They have gay little boys that hold their shit up.
• HOOK is backstage with KATSUYORI SHIBATA holding the camera. ANTHONY BOWENS wants to know if he's in the Opps or not, Hook says he'll tell him next week.
• Lexy Nair backstage with DON CALLIS and KAZUCHIKA OKADA. Lexy wants to know if Takeshita has earned his shot at Okada's International Championship at Double or Nothing, but Don says Takeshita clearly didn't hold up his side of the bargain. Okada wants the match, though, because he says he knows he can beat him. He's a champion, he says, unlike Takeshita.
• Lio Rush is visibly unnerving both PAC and Daniel Garcia. Danny tells PAC they need to leave as fast as possible once PAC picks up the win. Lio goes to sleep from the Brutalizer with a smile on his face.
• BANDIDO video package just to remind you he exists.
• HIKARU SHIDA and KRIS STATLANDER backstage with Lexy Nair. Shida is very excited to have picked up another win. MINA SHIRAKAWA wants to talk to Shida directly. Mina says she heard what Shida said about Harley, and when she found Toni, she saw Shida's candlestick. She doesn't know what Hikaru's up to, she says, but she doesn't trust her. They nearly come to blows but Stat gets between them.
• Alex Windsor has Thekla up on the top but Thekla retrieves brass knuckles from somewhere. Windsor temporarily stuns her with a headbutt but then goes to sunset flip powerbomb Thekla, leaving her whole head exposed like a moron, and of course Thekla nails her in the head. She curbstomps Windsor to retain.

• Fourth championship in AEW for Allin (third singles, second world) 

DEVELOPMENTS

• We're scheduled to start this show off with MJF's world title defense, but MJF has no intent on having that match tonight. He threatens to sue basically anyone and calls Justin Roberts a pervert. He says Darby's not ready to become a champion. Darby grabs the mic and says that when he started his career 10 miles up the road he told himself he would either make it as Darby or he would fail as Darby but he's not changing a single thing.
• MJF is still adamant that this match is not happening. Bryan Danielson now has the house mic. He says that Tony Khan agrees with MJF; this match shouldn't happen right now because MJF isn't ready. Instead, he says, the match will happen in the main event, and if MJF doesn't sign the match contract, he'll be stripped of the title. 
• After Dynasty, we see Tony Schiavone backstage with KENNY OMEGA and Doc Sampson. Kenny says he's got nothing and heads into the trainer's room with WILL OSPREAY. They think back on their matches. Kenny says he feels like he let everybody down and that he doesn't have any time left, but he says Will does. Will says he's dejected and sad and he's been crying for 40 minutes but his dream is still to be the AEW World Champion and he says he hopes Kenny hasn't given up on that yet either. Will tells Kenny he's his hero as he leaves, and that sticks with Kenny who says maybe he really can't give up.
• The crowd is chanting "bald" at Tommaso Ciampa so he goes over the the timekeeper's area and screams "DO I LOOK LIKE RICOCHET? SAVE THAT BALD CRAP FOR SOMEONE ELSE" lol
• Ciampa cuts a post-match promo and says that Xavier was "the example" because he's sick of waiting--he says he wants all the gold, and he's targeting the world title.
• We get a Darby Allin-MJF hype package and now it's time for goddamn FTR to talk. Dax says C&C will never get another shot at those titles while they have them. Stokely calls FTR Goliaths and says that none of the Davids are worthy to step to them. They do a 10-second pose to end the segment.
• Kevin Knight has a townhall after his defense. He puts over Claudio and says that he doesn't blame Speedball for them losing the trios titles; sometimes, he says, you have to slow down to speed back up. He says he'll be keeping a close eye on the world title match in the main.
• Renee Paquette townhall with CHRIS JERICHO. He says he thinks he lost because he was outnumbered 3 to 1. Now THE DEMAND are here and Ricochet says that he meant it when he said he respected Jericho but he also says that he warned him. Jericho challenges Ricochet to face him one-on-one and he just says the world "bald" over and over and it's really annoying. Ricochet has been baited into a one-on-one confrontation and tells GOA not to help him no matter what. Ricochet immediately gets his ass kicked and GOA come in to make the save. They beat him down and do their tag finish powerbomb thing and then Ricochet does the Luthersault again.
• After Dynasty, Renee Paquette backstage with DON CALLIS and KAZUCHIKA OKADA. She wants to know what happened out there, and KONOSUKE TAKESHITA walks by and Don stops him to ask him the same thing. Takeshita says "It was an... accident! I'm so sorryyyyy~" and leaves. Okada throws something at him and yells at him in Japanese. Don tells Takeshita they're not done.
• Don Callis introduces Hechicero in his Iconic Way again. At one point he says "Super Nintendo." He reaffirms that the Family is a business and Takeshita can't just simply walk out and leave it.
• Will Ospreay looks to ringside coming out of commercial break and MARINA SHAFIR is sitting in the front row. I guess she wanted to watch a match
• Ospreay eats a guillotine head scissors and he's fucked up. Hechicero covers him in the corner but he gets his foot on the rope. Don Callis is pissed, Will is holding his neck, Doc Sampson is basically hovering over Will but Hechicero boots him and throws him back into the ring. He's got Will in a triangle choke AND armbar, Will is not fucking tapping out.
• Now they're running spots AGAIN. Hechicero hits a fucking tope, elbow drop off the top to the back of a standing Ospreay's neck, Ospreay KICKS OUT and hits a Stundog Millionaire. Hechicero counters with a boot, goes up, Ospreay catches him and goes for a crucifix powerbomb, Hechicero escapes. Ospreay kicks out of a roll up at 2. Ospreay goes for the Oscutter, countered into an armbar and then a triangle choke, Ospreay is ON HIS FUCKING FEET INTO THE FUCKING STYLES CLASH and he hits the Hidden Blade and wins. What a fucking joke 
• MARK DAVIS is now here, he lays out Will with a lariat and piledrives him. 
• THEKLA cuts off Renee Paquette from the crowd. She's saying the b-word more, now ALEX WINDSOR is here and she's appealing on behalf of Jamie Hayter. They're now saying that Thekla was fired from the entire country of Japan, Thekla says it was because nobody could handle her, and Alex puts out a challenge for the world title on Collision. SISTERS OF SIN try to jump her in the ring and get laid out.
• JON MOXLEY backstage with DANIEL GARCIA and WHEELER YUTA. He says he likes to be surprised and Will Ospreay never surprises him. He asks MARINA SHAFIR how Will looked; Marina says he looked rough. He says he pays more attention than everyone else; Will showed him his cards. He says he doesn't take pleasure in the suffering of others, though there can be beauty in it; he prefers life over death, he adds, but you don't get one without the other. He addresses Nick Wayne ahead of the eliminator match on Collision, saying he doesn't know much about him and beckons him to surprise him. He does a shitty little laugh.
• KRIS STATLANDER and HIKARU SHIDA backstage. Shida's not letting Kris get a word in edgewise. They'll tag tomorrow.
• Renee Paquette walking with DARBY ALLIN backstage before the main. Darby runs into STING who I guess is just chilling backstage. Sting says it's not showtime, it's Darby's time. 
• MJF gives Aubrey the Diamond Ring after the bell, saying he forgot to. While Aubrey is depositing it at ringside, he low blows Darby. He whips Darby towards the ropes, nearly hits Aubrey, and Darby low blows MJF back. Darby proceeds to hit four Coffin Drops and beats MJF with a headlock takeover to win the title. The entire babyface locker room empties out to celebrate with Darby in the ring, followed shortly after by Sting.
• "you know when you spend a really long time trying to open a jar and someone else trys and opens it in three seconds because you mostly had it?"

DEVELOPMENTS

• Takeshita kicks out of the Death Rider in the opener. Down to 30 seconds, each man takes the other's head off several times, but as Takeshita is scrambling to get Moxley up for Raging Fire, the 20-minute time limit expires. Moxley retains, but both men are extremely frustrated; they start scuffling again after the match before Takeshita is able to get Moxley up for Raging Fire successfully. This rivalry is far from over.
• After Dynamite, we hear KRIS STATLANDER who says she was made for that championship and that she still has more blood to give. THEKLA says she walked right into her trap, and she walked out as champion. Stat says she had everything Thekla wanted; now, she'll be everything she doesn't. "Karma isn't a bitch: it's a Cosmic Killer."
• Harley hits a fucking Destroyer on Megan Bayne
• Harley pins Penelope off a backslide to retain. As the champions are celebrating, LENA KROSS gets in the ring and lays out Harley, before Megan spears Willow. MegaBad, now joined by Lena, grab the belts and pose in the ring. 
• We get a pretape from RICOCHET, who addresses Jack Perry. He says that in Vegas, they say that you have to know when to hold and when to fold. Jack should fold soon, or else "something very bad" will happen to him.
• Andrade gets a picture with a very pretty woman in the front row in the opening minutes of the no. 1 contendership bout. Hangman then potatoes him and also takes a selfie with her. There are also separate "TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF" and "WE WANT PANTS OFF" chants in this match. Hangman promptly hits a fallaway slam into the barricade.
• Hangman hits the Deadeye on Andrade in the waning minutes of this bout. Don Callis gets on the apron to distract referee Aubrey Edwards as Hangman goes for the Buckshot Lariat; Andrade tries to intercept him with a low blow, but Hangman blocks that and kicks Andrade square in the balls before landing the Buckshot to win the fall. Page is headed to Revolution, but who his opponent will be is yet to be decided.
• This mixed tornado tag match gets started hot, as Toni jumps Marina and Orange jumps Yuta and we go straight into crowd brawling. Yuta, who has a lock of Mina's hair woven into his, hits a piledriver on Toni on a stack of roadie boxes. Luther, in an old-timey barber outfit, carries her off through the tunnel. Out of the break, Toni comes marching back out through the entrance way despite Luther's objections and takes out Marina with several German suplexes.
• Orange hits Beach Break on Marina and goes for the pin. Yuta is staring at Orange and almost hesitates to break up the pin. Commentary theorizes he was thinking about letting Marina get shaved lol
• The crowd is now chanting "YUTA'S A SHIT CUNT." Yuta promptly accidentally takes out Marina with a Busaiko Knee. Orange takes her out with a tope, and they run a train on Yuta until he eats a Storm Zero and gets pinned. MINA SHIRAKAWA brings out the stool. Yuta tries to powder, but as he exits through the crowd, he's rebuked by JON MOXLEY who tells him to get his ass back in the ring and go through with what he committed to. Mox stands in the corner of the ring as it's happening, just kind of embarrassed for Yuta's sake lol Marina is also holding Yuta's hand for emotional support. They only really take off the top part of his hair before Orange's theme hits. I guess Orange wins this segment
• After Dynamite, Kyle Fletcher thanks KAZUCHIKA OKADA for not getting involved in his TNT Championship match and asks him to do the same at Grand Slam. Okada obliges, and they shake hands declaring that they are Protokada. Fletcher also comes out in this match wearing some insane shit on his head. I don't know if it's an Australian thing.
• Mark Briscoe has shown up to take as many evil bumps as possible in this match like a psychopath. I don't even know how to really recap this match you kinda just have to watch it. Mark hits a Jay Driller through a ladder, Froggy Bow diagonal style onto a ladder, Kyle hits a brainbuster off the top of a ladder.
• Even in Australia, the crowd is chanting "FUCK ICE." It's gonna be hard to stop this train.
• Brody hits a traditional Mother F'n Bomb on MJF in this match it was awesome MJF also hits the kangaroo kick on Brody
• The story this match is that Brody tweaked his knee attempting a Cannonball early in the match and MJF is working on that leg.
• MJF has a sleeper cinched in deep. Referee Bryce Remsburg is taking his sweet time making the three arm-raise count and now BANDIDO, who we haven't seen since Maximum Carnage, is at ringside to scream at Brody to never give up. Brody gets his arm up at 3.
• MJF goes to use the Dynamite Diamond Ring as Brody gets to his feet, but Bryce Remsburg knows it's coming and intercepts it. Brody takes Max's head off with a forearm. Brody cinches in the sleeper and MJF goes limp. The Gonzo Bomb connects... but MJF kicks out. Commentary says it's the first time anyone has ever escaped the move.
• MJF escapes another sleeper hold on the apron from Brody who's seated on the top rope by attacking his weak knee. He gets Brody into tombstone position and lays him out on the apron with a bodyslam before hitting the Heatseeker DDT for the win.
• HANGMAN ADAM PAGE is here to confront MJF after the latter's defense. Page is next up for the title at Revolution. The two stare down, exchange a few words, Hangman signs his contract for the match, and MJF holds the belt up before Hangman feigns a punch and MJF begs off.
