Join 411’s Live AEW Dynamite & Collision Coverage

Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

SICKOS! It’s Wednesday, you know what that means! AEW Dynamite is LIVE tonight from Fishers Event Center in the city of my NBA and WNBA teams, Indianapolis, Indiana! Tonight is the final stop heading into this Saturday’s All-Out event coming to us from Chicago, and tonight’s show will be headlined by a Trio’s Titles defense on the way to another match taking place this weekend.

But in the words of the late and very great Billy Mays, “BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!” As the company has been known to do during the NFL season, monthly PPV shows will take place on Saturday Night, thus forcing a part of Collison to become one with Dynamite. To that point, that means that we are in store for 180+ minutes of AEW action tonight!

Ahead of the Trio’s Titles match at All-Out, Swerve Strickland and the New Level will defend the titles against former Champions the Demand, with the winners going on to face Hangman Adam Page and Brodido at All-Out. In lieu of the title not being defended at all this Saturday, Persephone will put her TBS Title on the line against Hyan. Elsewhere, AEW World Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay will team with Speedball Mike Bailey to face Claudio Castagnoli and Gabe “MADMAN” Kidd. And ahead of their Chicago Street Fight at All-Out, the Women’s Tag Team Champions Brawling Birds will come face-to-face with Divine Dominion. All of this and, of course, so much more in store for us tonight!

So, how are we doing on this Hump Day? After weeks of counted down to me having seen Cheap Trick in concert last night, I can safely say that it is AMAZING that a band who has been around for 52 freaking years can still sound as good as they ever did. It was money well spent to be sure and where was even an opening act that wasn’t indicated on their touring schedule. Instead of going deeper here, at the suggestion of one El Atomico (who I have hereby dubbed Senton Atomico), I will be writing a review of my experience at the show and hopefully it will appear in the music section.

But enough about me and enough about you, let’s get ready to make the Dynamite go BOOM and then COLLIDE!

Tonight’s Dynamite and Collision action comes to us from the Hoosier State! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz are on the call!

Excalibur runs down our matches for tonight.

The Trio’s Titles match is first on the docket. We hear from the Demand. Ricky says that what has happened here is a problem within AEW. You have random people teaming up to win the titles, and he knows that he hasn’t always been with Toa and Bishop, but they understand one another. Kaun says it is time for this facade to end, and Liona says they are taking back the Trio’s Titles.

Time to hear from the Champions! They are walking, and Prince Nana dresses the challengers down for attacking them from behind. The Most Dangerous Man in AEW, Awesome Austin, and his brother from Ghana, Kofi, will teach them a lesson. Kofi and Austin have some tough questions for Strickland, such as did he chase Bandido into a saloon and did he beat him up? Swerve says there was a little bit of crime lol. Did he go into Hangman’s house and then got stabbed in the head with scissors? Strickland says that did happen. Austin wants to know if Strickland had ANY friends before they got here. Strickland plays coy until his music hits lol. Good stuff!

AEW Trio’s Titles Match: Swerve Strickland and the New Level (C) vs. The Demand

Ricky wants to start with Strickland despite Kaun wanting to start. Swerve smacks him in the mouth and then cartwheels away. Swerve with a backbreaker and he stares down GOA in the corner. Swerve off the rope, Kaun kicks him in the back, allowing Ricky to hit a dropkick. BALD chants as Kaun is in officially. Scoop slam, but Ricky kicks him in the face, and he tags in Austin Creed. Creed with chops to Kaun, to the corner, Creed with the punches. Kaun throws him off, but Creed sends Kaun into the middle rope. Kofi talks mad smack while Creed hits a dropkick to the back of Kaun. Kofi with the tag, Creed holds Kaun in place, double stomp!

Back in the ring, and Kofi connects with the crossbody but that’s JUST a one. Strickland with the tag, he winds up Kaun’s arm and down comes Kofi to abuse said arm. Both members of the New Level are in; they bring Kaun to his knees and hit a double bulldog! Kofi is tripped up by Ricky as he runs the ropes, and now Creed is in serious trouble. Strickland is sent to the floor as GOA hit a parachute throw powerbomb to Creed. Cocky cover gets them a one. Ricky poses in the corner as we hit our first break.

Everything is turning up Millhouse Demand as we return. Creed starts the rally by taking GOA off the apron. He goes around the world and hits a Side Russian Leg sweep to Ricky! Neither of his partners are there for him, though. Ricky sends him off, but Creed flies out of the ring and wipes out Kaun! Creed with a STUNNER over the top rope, but Liona bulldozes Creed over the announce desk! He lines up Kofi, but Strickland intercepts him with the House Call! Swerve looking for another one, but here comes Ricky over the corner and he wipes out Swerve!

GOA pick up Swerve and put him on their shoulders. Ricky to the top of the barricade with the Doomsday Device! Creed is rolled into the ring by the challengers, but he nails Ricky with a thrust kick! Kofi is back, and Creed tags out. GOA try to ambush him, but Kofi, much like Tom Petty, won’t back down. Kofi sends Liona from the ring and hits a guillotine leg drop to Kaun! Kofi gets goozled by Kaun, and Liona SMASHES him! Liona with another SMASH in the corner, back senton from Kaun, but Creed makes the save.

Creed feeds Liona his fists, but he ends up in the corner, where Kaun sends him out of the ring and he hits his face on the steps! Shotgun Dropkick from Kaun to Kofi, front face suplex from GOA, but Kofi kicks out at two! Ricky looks like he saw a bald ghost! Liona ass smash leads to a CUTTER from Kaun to Kofi. Ricky to the very top, 630 SENTON CONNECTS! The cover, but Swerve is back from the dead! Ricky looks like he is about to shit himself as he sends Swerve to the floor. This provides Kofi the distraction to hit a back body drop to Ricky.

Swerve tags in officially, he trips up Kaun in the ropes with a thrust kick, SWERVE STOMP! Liona bounces off of him, but Strickland with the CUTTER! Flatliner from Strickland, but Liona isn’t fazed! Creed tries a Flatliner, but he still isn’t fazed! The Champions work triple team offense on Liona to keep him down! 450 Splash from Swerve, but Ricky throws himself in the save! Kofi lines up Liona, but his Trouble in Level Land is cut off and he gets popped up into an uppercut! CREED IN, AND HE SQUATS LIONA AND HITS A DVD! Everyone has gotten all of their shit in now, and it’s down to Kofi and Liona. Kofi looking SOS, but he can’t get Liona over. Strickland from the top with the House Call, allowing Kofi to finish the rotation and the Champions retain!
WINNERS: Swerve Strickland and the New Level (And still!)
TIME: 17:45
THOUGHTS: Chaotic and fun opener. The right team won, but they’re still going to present the Demand as a threat, mainly Toa Liona, as they should.
RATING: ****

Post-match, the winners celebrate, but here come their challengers for Saturday, Hangman Adam Page, Brody King, and Bandido! Page speaks first. He came out here to cay congratulations, and he means it! The titles felt important in their hands, and it feels important in their hands. You look good together, and he means it when he says he is glad Kofi and Creed are here. BUT I don’t think either one of you realize who you have gotten involved with. Page wants to know what Swerve is doing. He was gone for five months, they won the Trios titles, and now he has new partners.

Creed says what Strickland is doing is teaming with the best tag team in the World. What he is doing is putting a level of respect on these titles. Your intel is wrong about Strickland, because Swerve has been nothing but cool to them.

Brody: It’s been three weeks.

LOL.

Hangman says give it time and, like with everyone else that Strickland has been in connection with, he will turn on you, too. Strickland objects, saying that we know exactly who Page is. He was abandoned by the Bucks, he abandoned Jet Speed, and he will abandon you guys, too. Page showed everyone who he was in Chicago.

King says while these two guys do whatever the hell they are doing, how about we do this, Bandido? Bandido says they will be the NEW Champions!

The Remarkable Renee Paquette has her first assignment of the night with Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, and Francesco Akira. Ospreay says he was watching Collision from England, and he saw his boys get ambushed. But he saw Speedball make the save for them, and he wants to know if Speedball wants to join the United Empire. Bailey says that he wants to stand by winners like Ospreay, but last time in AEW, his tag team didn’t work out so well. But what the hell, let’s do it! Akira talks in Italian, Bailey seems to understand, Ospreay says he is trying to get him to speak English, and he has to cover Akira’s mouth before he speaks. LMAO!

BREAK IN PROGRESS!

Thekla is here post-break! She says there are two kinds of bitches. There is the happy, loving, and naive bitch. And then there is the bitch that will stick her fangs into your throat. Which one are you, Willow? Thekla says she is all about the kids, like Willow claims to be. And tonight, she will play nice with her friends, and they will have a good time! But come All-Out, she is going to behead Willow!

AEW Continental Title Eliminator Match: Jon Moxley vs. Dezmond Xavier

Just a reminder that, if Dezmond pins Moxley or goes the 20-minute time limit, he will earn himself a title shot.

Moxley looks to overpower Dezmond after a short standoff, but Xavier isn’t playing. Dez manages to take Moxley down with a side headlock, but Moxley runs him over with a shoulder tackle. Xavier ducks between the legs of Moxley and he connects with a Tairis! Corner shots from Xavier, but Moxley quickly changes the tide and lays them in to Xavier. Moxley backs off, and he eats a chop and a snap Rana. Moxley to the floor, Xavier looks to fly, but Jon returns to the ring. BIG Boot from Moxley to Xavier as we hit the break.

Moxley is raining down the right hands as we return. Gotch Style Piledriver attempt, but Xavier sneaks away. Moxley is sent to the floor via low bridge, and Dezmond hits him with a tope suicida. Back in the ring, Moxley avoids a corner charge but not the strikes from Xavier. Snapmare into a basement dropkick from Xavier gets him a two. Kick is intercepted by Moxley, and Dezmond goes for the German ride. Toe kick from Moxley, he picks up Dezmond, but Xavier escapes. Strikes from downtown and a CUTTER connects, but Jon kicks out at two.

Springboard elbow attempt, but Moxley catches him with a Sleeper attempt. Xavier fights free and hits a handstand corkscrew kick. Moxley eats it and crushes Xavier with a King Kong lariat! Moxley approaches, Xaiver kicks out his vertical base and heads to the top, but no one is home. Moxley hits the John WOO dropkick, but Xavier fires back with the Meteora! Xavier looking for a standing splash, but Moxley catches him with the Rear-Naked Choke! Xaiver tries to roll over, but Jon rolls him back and he taps out.
WINNER: Jon Moxley
TIME: 9:50
THOUGHTS: Obvious winner aside, this one was pretty good. I liked Moxley attempting to keep up with Xavier and his speed, and Dezmond trying to match Jon’s power.
RATING: ***1/2

Renee has Darby Allin and Steven Borden in the back. She says someone wanted to speak to them, and Adam Copeland walks in. Copeland says he admires them and he has always liked Darby and Steven. Copeland says he heard after their match on Collision that they were challenging the Tag Team Champions IF they beat Fletcher and Knight. You’re not reaching for the stars now; you’re reaching for legends. He tells Steven to ask his father about that one and tells Darby that he may have climbed Mount Everest but facing him and Cage is like climbing two Mount Everests. Darby says there is so much that he could say right now, but with all due respect, challenge accepted. Copeland cackles and says be careful what you wish for!

BREAK IN PROGRESS!

Ladders are all around the ring side area, as the Young Bucks are here! FTR and Big Stoke come out next. Stoke is looking for Indianapolis hoes as FTR talk trash to the fans. Finally, we get the Tag Team Champions themselves, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage!

Stoke wants to talk first. They have nothing left to say, and the only reason they are here is, so they don’t get fined by the greatest boss in the World, Tony Khan! So, wrap this shit up! Matt has the mic, and he says it’s funny that they have nothing to say because they are the Dudley Boys. Nick tells him to calm down, and he says they failed to win the tag team titles back at All-In. But they have beaten FTR, and let’s face it, they are the Young Bucks, but they aren’t getting any younger. This may be the last chance for them to win the titles.

Cage says let him put Nick’s mind to rest, because while you guys argue over who will win their fourth titles, Christian says they are the best one-time Champions. And while you guys are both great teams, Cage and Copeland are generational. And he has a ritual before his matches, and since he has already done FTR’s moms, he will introduce himself to the Buck’s mother. LMAO! Buzzkill Copeland takes the mic and cuts him off and says he has issues. Copeland says you guys are comparing their accolades, but you are looking past living legends in this ring. He calls Matt “Kid”, and Matt says this isn’t 1999 anymore, and the last time you tried to jump from a ladder, you ended up on the shelf for a year.

Copeland goes to attack, but Cage, of all people, holds him back. Stoke says you guys can argue between each other while FTR do the winning on Saturday. IT’S TIME FOR A DONNYBROOK! The faces both attack FTR, ladders are used, and security fails to do their job. Cage and Copeland look to deliver the Con-Chair-To to Stoke, but security save him. One of the nerds ends up eating it instead. That’s a paddling fine.

Renee gets a quick word in the back with Willow Nightingale and asks her about her hand. Willow says it’s been better, but it’s been worse. Right now, its two-to-two between her and Mercedes Mone, but she has to defeat Thekla at All-Out before she gets her title back and wins the series.

MY SHADOW KNOWS MY STORY!

Tommaso Ciampa vs. Jake Doyle w/Don Callis

Sneaky good big man/physical match incoming?

Doyle charges at the bell, but Ciampa avoids it and tries to stomp Jake through the corner. Ciampa grabs his head and gets thrown off, as Ciampa runs the ropes and hits a big flying clothesline. Doyle is sent to the apron, where he eats a knee strike from Ciampa. Doyle is returned to the ring, Ciampa pulls down his knee pad, but his knee strike is cut off by a big body block from Doyle. Doyle grinds down Ciampa and sends him to the corner, where Tommaso heads to the floor.

Callis tells Doyle to do IT now, but IT doesn’t happen because Ciampa has other plans as he heads back into the ring and hits a Draping DDT! Doyle crumbles to the floor, and Ciampa chops him into the chair at ring side. Running knee strike connects, but Ciampa gets too greedy, as Doyle goozles him and slams him face first off, the chair as we hit the break.

Both men are struggling in the corner as we return from break. CIAMPA WITH AN AVALANCHE PSYCHO KILLER FROM THE TOP ROPE! The cover, but Doyle is out at two. Ciampa mocks Okada’s post and flips off Doyle, but Jake catches his finger. Strikes from both men, Doyle blocks two shots, but not the third one lol. Ciampa goes to run, but Doyle steps on his foot and clobbers him with a forearm. Ciampa looking Rainmaker but instead he hits that Okada-like dropkick lol. Running knee strike, but Doyle intercepts him with a sit-down powerbomb for a two.

Doyle rolls out of the ring on one side while Ciampa rolls out the other side. Doyle POUNCES Ciampa into the barricade and then proceeds to slam his head into the LED board. Back in the ring, and Ciampa counters Doyle with a standing knee strike! A second proper running knee strike to the head finishes it for Tommaso!
WINNER: Tommaso Ciampa
TIME: 9:10
THOUGHTS: Pretty decent match. I’m glad that they didn’t just give Ciampa another enhancement talent that he would kill with one knee strike in less than sixty seconds and gave him a legit DCF threat.
RATING: ***1/4

Post-match, Ciampa has the mic. He tells Callis is this as much for him as it is for his Golden Boy. He tells the cameraman to stay. Okada, back in 2018, they lived on different islands, and people asked WHAT IF. Well, it’s the year 2026, and no one has to ask WHAT IF anymore, because they both live on the same island. And they don’t have to wait until Chicago to do this, so bring your ass out here now.

The coin hits and Okada is on the scene! Ciampa! You asked for the Rainmaker, but you won’t get him tonight. I’M SO SORRY! But Saturday you will get what you want, and I will get what I want when I prove you aren’t on my level, BITCH!

Ciampa doesn’t know if he is losing his hearing, but he doesn’t understand Okada saying he’s sorry. In three more sleeps, you are getting the best of the Psycho Killer, and he will kick your ass and take the International Title, BITCH!

Persephone defends her TBS Title against Hyan, next!

BREAK IN PROGRESS!

The Doctor will see us now, as she brings out the TBS Champion Persephone!

TBS Title Match: Persephone (C) w/Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs. Hyan

Britt will be on commentary for this one, and she is already killing me lol. The bell rings, and Persephone trips Hyan to the mat. She locks her hip and tries two quick pins on her challenger. Hyan takes Persephone to the mat, but the Champion bridges out. The Champion with a victory roll for a two. Hyan tries a back slide for a two. We’re back to square one, as Persephone chokes out Hyan with her foot. Arm drag and a leg sweep from the challenger for a two. Bridge from the challenger for a two. She hits a dropkick on “Persy” followed by a springboard assisted bulldog. Persephone hits the floor, and here comes Hyan with the Tope Suicida! Hyan tells us this is for you, Maya, as we head out to break.

Persephone picks up Hyan for some chops as we return. Hyan ducks a third one, but she runs into a powerslam from “Persy”. The Champ hits the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault for a two. Persephone losses her mind and she stalks Hyan to the corner and screams at her. Hyan off the ropes with clotheslines. Hammer throw from the Champion, but Hyan hits Persephone with a knee to the face. Not sure what Hyan was trying to do with Persephone, but she casually drops her on the side for a two.

Victory rolls are traded for a two. Bridging Northern Lights Suplex for a two from the Champion. Razor’s Edge, but Hyan escapes and shoves “Persy” into the corner. SPEAR from Hyan, but Persephone is out at two. Hyan is tuning up the band, but she takes WAY too long and hits the corner. Hyan charges back in, but Persephone rolls her up in the corner and holds the ropes for the win!
WINNER: Persephone (And still!)
TIME: 8:50
THOUGHTS: I’m not sure anyone bought Hyan winning here, which kind of dilutes the title defense. Also, I’m not sure what Hyan was going for on that side suplex or what have you. Decent, and it got the job done for the Champion.
RATING: ***

Tag Team action is coming our way, next!

BREAK IN PROGRESS!

Speedball is out to show us his moves. He’s also wearing green tonight which is, of course, the color of the United Empire!

AEW World Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay and Speedball Mike Bailey vs. Claudio Castagnoli and Gabe “RABID MUTT” Kidd

Kidd and Bailey to start this one off. Kidd rushes Bailey to the corner and eats chops from Bailey. Kidd decides he wants to strike back, so both men trade, and Kidd drops Bailey. He misses the back senton, allowing Bailey to hit a dropkick. Bailey goes to hit Claudio, but he avoids it, and Kidd goes on the attack. Castagnoli attacks Ospreay and they end up throwing a beating on the floor. Kidd and Bailey return to the ring, while Ospreay jumps from the barricade and hits a flying BRUV forearm.

Bailey tags in Ospreay, who hits the Sky Twister Press for a two. Chops from Ospreay, but like the dirty rabid dog that he is, Kidd bites the fingers of the Champion. Claudio tags in and he hammers away on Ospreay. They take time to pose, and Claudio looks for a powerbomb, but Bailey saves Will. Double Tairis from Mike and Will! Claudio and Gabe hit the floor, and they get hit with stereo crossbody blocks! Back in the ring, and Ospreay and Bailey try to suplex Claudio. It’s a fruitless exercise, as Claudio reverses and suplexes both men! Kidd enters the ring and headbutts Ospreay like a mutt as we hit the break.

Claudio has isolated Bailey as we return. Castagnoli tags in Kidd, but Bailey is able to fight them off. He sweeps out Claudio’s legs and hits a corkscrew kick to Kidd. Speedball looking tag, but Claudio sweeps Ospreay off the apron! Bailey off the ropes with the X-Moonsault! Bailey back to the apron, he heads to the top, and the Rabid Mutt bites Mike’s foot lol. Kidd gets too cocky and eats a Powerbomb for his trouble.

Tag to Ospreay, and Will hits both Claudio and Gabe without prejudice. Ospreay tries to suplex Claudio, but Kidd intervenes only to eat the suplex instead. Ospreay manages to finally hit Claudio with the suplex! Off the ropes, handstand into a corkscrew kick to Kidd! The cover, but Gabe is out at two. Hidden Blade attempt, but Kidd moves and he headbutts Ospreay! Short jab, off the ropes, but Ospreay suckers Kidd in with the Death Ground! Claudio makes the save, but Bailey is in. Double Death Ground submissions! Claudio picks up Bailey, walks over, and he powerbombs Bailey on top of Ospreay. It looked so slow in nature that it was funny lol.

Kidd tries to scramble what is left of his brains in the corner, as Claudio tells him to GET SERIOUS! Corner clotheslines, but Bailey is here to save Ospreay. Kicks take care of Kidd, but Claudio with a lariat. Claudio looking Gotch Style Piledriver, but Ospreay rolls him up for a two. Giant Swing attempt, but Ospreay with the DDT, and Will fluidly goes into the BRUV CLASH for the win!
WINNERS: Will Ospreay and Speedball Mike Bailey
TIME: 13:40
THOUGHTS: As much shit as I give to Gabe Kidd, he plays his role well and he knows how to be a real douchebag. I also like Bailey in the United Empire as it gives him something to do and not just float in the abyss.
RATING: ***3/4

Post-match, Ospreay has the mic. He wants to know how we are doing. He looks around this arena, and he can’t help but feel grateful. He is grateful for us, because once upon a time, this place did not exist. And it is because of you the fans and everyone in the back that we are here, and he can’t tell us how honored he is to be our World Champion. But for as long as AEW has been alive, so has Jon Moxley. Ospreay wants to say something to Jon. Thank you. Thank you for the guidance. Thank you for being the Ace. And thank you for breaking me. Because of that, I am the man that I am today.

Our history is well documented, the good, the bad, the victories, the mind games, the warfare. The one thing Will learned that will stick with him is that this title is what it is all about. Ospreay risked his life for this, and this is what the idea of a Champion in AEW is. He is here for the next generation for AEW, and Moxley has just been dumped into the ocean. This time, Moxley is the challenger, and Ospreay is the Champion, BRUV!

Moxley gets up from the announce table and slowly enters the ring with a mic. Standing here, looking across the ring at me, do you feel like the Champion? Kidd is back and he tries to attack Ospreay, but he almost hits Moxley, and he eats a standing Hidden Blade!

Will: Do I feel like the Champion? YOU’RE FUCKING RIGHT I FEEL LIKE IT!

Welp, that’s a fine, if you believe Uncle Dave Meltzer. Scene ends with Ospreay on top of the Rabid Mutt telling him like it is lol.

WELCOME TO THE COLLISION HOUR!!!

Jungle Jack Perry is in the back headbutting some fixtures. He called out Samoa Joe last week, but apparently, he can’t speak for himself, so they are sending him Shibata. Perry said he wanted the best and he wanted to walk among the killers, and there is bigger killer than Shibata. So, Perry will have to scratch and claw his way through Shibata in order to get to Joe.

Renee is on the ramp, and she introduces the challengers for the Women’s World Tag Team Titles, Divine Dominion. Megan Bayne and Lena Kross are out, followed by the Champions the Brawling Birds. Jamie and Alex are feeling themselves. A stagehand brings out a round table with tea, biscuits, and flowers! Lena says isn’t this what you wanted? You wanted to be treated like royalty, and that is what you are getting! She says that the Champions being undefeated is a bit of a stretch since they defeated them in singles matches. Megan tells them to enjoy the tea, because they are going to beat them within an inch of their lives.

Alex says there is nothing that they have to say. They strike Divine Dominion with the tea kettle, but they end up on the losing end of the brawl. Windsor gets thrown into the table and into the screen as Divine Dominion stand tall.

Last week on Collision, we got words from the Conglomeration. Kyle O’Reilly tries to keep the spirit up, but Roderick Strong losses his damn mind. He says he isn’t happy for “those guys” and, like Bad Luck Fale would say, “FUCK THOSE GUYS!”. Roddy can’t do this anymore, and he walks off. Suspense!

It’s time for the new superstar tag team in AEW!

Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight vs. the Outrunners

Fletcher and Turbo Floyd to start this one. Fletcher takes Floyd to the ropes and feigns a clean break before slapping Floyd. Turbo gives one back and poses! Fletcher run the ropes and he hits a big running boot, and he takes the time to pose! Tag to Knight, and Fletcher throws Knight onto Floyd for a two. Floyd to his feet, he tags in Truth Magnum, Floyd with a back suplex to Knight. YOU SON OF A BITCH, YOU RUINED THE ELBOW DROP, KYLE! Knight stomps out Magnum in the corner and Fletcher is back in. Truth hooks the ropes and sends Knight to the floor. Fletcher sends Magnum to the floor with a big kick, and Knight with a flying clothesline off the apron! That’ll send us to the break.

Truth is in the wrong part of town as we return from the break. Sit-out Urnage from Fletcher leads to a basement dropkick from Knight for a two. Fletcher and Knight fight in vain to stop Magnum from tagging in Floyd. Scoop slams from all and a running double bulldog. YOU SON OF A BITCH AND THEY DID THE DEAL! The pin, but Knight sneaks past Magnum to make the save. Floyd picks up Fletcher, but Kyle sneaks out the back door and hits the half-and-half suplex. Thrust kick for Magnum, sick kick from Fletcher into the Brainbuster on Floyd. Tag to Knight, who hits the UFO Splash for the win!
WINNERS: Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight
TIME: 9:10
THOUGHTS: It’s always good to see The Outrunners on AEW television, although they had NO chance in Hell of winning this match lol.
RATING: ***1/4

Renee is in the ring, and she asks about the momentum that Knight and Fletcher have. Kyle takes the mic and tells her they got it from here. Fishers, Indiana, say my FULL name! Fletcher calls out Darby Allin and Steven Borden and says this will be a cakewalk. He tells Don that he didn’t like Kevin Knight at first, but they have been working as a well-oiled unit. In fact, you could say that they are Family!

Darby’s theme hits, and apparently at some point, RPG Vice appeared on the apron like magic lol. No one comes out, but we hear Darby chanting Kyle and Kevin’s names. Darby says that they are waiting until All-Out and asks if they think he is stupid to run down there when there are fifty DCF members lol. And the last time he was in the ring with Kevin, he took this (meaning the TNT Title).

Knight says that everyone knows he only lost because the entire Borden clan attacked him. But Kevin and his “Flamingo” are multi-time Champions, while your partner is just a rookie with three matches under his belt. Allin says it is going to be pretty embarrassing when they lose to Darby and this rookie!

Excalibur and Tony Schiavone run down the card for All Out and the preceding Brawl Out coming this Saturday to Chicago! We also have two more matches tonight between Ace and PAC and the Queen and Skyle Blue.

BUT FIRST, it’s sing along time with Chris Jericho! Jericho is out looking pretty happy for a guy who got beat up after his loss to Nick Wayne last week lol. JERICHO chants. WELL, THANK YOU INDIANAPOLIS! Last week, he beat the Prodigy Nick Wayne clean in the middle of the ring, and then he kicked Jericho right in the plums. He didn’t appreciate that, but he did appreciate him taking an opportunity and doing something with it. So, he is going to give Wayne one more chance to come out and face him like a man. He wants Nick to bring his white lily mouth ass out here.

Wayne comes out looking super professional in a black suit. Wayne takes a mic, he gets on the apron, but he stops there. Jericho wants to know if he is scared that he will kick the rope into his balls like he did to him. Wayne says this is me having a brain in my head. He is a smart guy and a good-looking guy. That is why every woman here would swipe right on me! He wants Jericho to continue. It seems like anyone who has ever trusted Jericho in this business has had a knife stuck in their back.

Jericho: Fair point.

LOL!

But Jericho says that is what you have to do sometimes in order to get to the top. He fakes kicking Wayne in the balls, but Jericho was just kidding. Jericho says they are one in the same; they both started as teenagers in the business and made their names in the Best of the Super Juniors. But Jericho wants to tell him a story.

Jericho: Do you know who Nick Bockwinkel is?
Wayne: Of course, I do, dumbass
Jericho: Alright then, douchebag.

Well, Jericho had the privilege of having his match watched by Nick, and he told Jericho that he wrestles too fast and does too many moves. He thanked Nick but he said what does he know. But if he hadn’t taken his advice, he doesn’t know where he would be. And the information should fit you Nick, just like your necklace.

You got jokes, says Wayne. Jericho defeated him, and that will not happen again. All he has ever known is how to be a professional wrestler, and he has perfected his craft around the World. The one thing that Jericho did teach him was how to beat him. So, if you accept his offer, he challenges Jericho to a match at Grand Slam France, and may the best man win! They shake hands, and Jericho leaves Wayne standing in the ring.

The Queen and Skye Blue will bash it up, next!

BREAK IN PROGRESS!

Renee has Hyan in the back. She says that Britt Baker sits on commentary and says that Hyan is just a tag team wrestler. Well, let her introduce her new partner then, and Thunder Rosa walks in! She tells us that both Hyan and herself will be in Pittsburgh next week (YAY!) and they will never forget that Thunder Rosa is La Mera Mera!

The CEO is here with her red ball room mask on! She will join commentary for this next match!

Skye Blue w/Julia Hart vs. Queen Aminata w/Mina Shirakawa

Tony getting all morbid on us as the bell rings. Once former best friends, Aminata takes Blue to the corner. Skye trips her up and then fakes a thrust kick and pats Aminata on her head lol. Aminata wants her to reach for a test of strength, the Queen threatens her with a headbutt, but she pats Skye on the head and shows her that royal booty! Skye smirks, and we have a forearm battle breaking out!

Both ladies follow the other into the ropes, Aminata with a snap suplex, she points to Mone at ring side and gives the chocolate kisses to Skye! Hart pulls Blue to safety, as Mina comes over and yells HEY! There is an argument, and Skye shoves Aminata into the ring steps. Skye gets into the face of Mina, and she has to back off to avoid the DQ finish. Skye hooks up Aminata and hits her with a snap suplex from off the ring steps! That’ll take us to the break.

Skye is attempting to strangle Aminata as we return. She throws the Queen to the mat, but her follow-up kicks have no effect, and she STARCHES Skye with a forearm. Incoming clotheslines from the Queen leads to a Snap German! Running corner boot to the face of Blue, and the Queen hits a double stomp from the top! The cover, but Skye is WAY too close to the ropes. Inside cradle from blue leads to a thrust kick. Skye off the ropes, but Aminata counters with a neckbreaker for a two.

Aminata to the top rope, Hart gets on the apron, Shirakawa approaches, but it just distracts Aminata. Both ladies trade victory rolls to no winner. Skye lights up Aminata with not ONE but TWO knee strikes, but Aminata kicks out at two! Skye looking Code Blue, Aminata avoids, and she smacks the Queen. The Queen does NOT approve and she headbutts Skye! Off With Her Head, and Aminata is our winner!
WINNER: Queen Aminata
TIME: 10:25
THOUGHTS: This was a great match. These ladies have chemistry from being best friends in and out of the ring to enemies helped out as well. Plus, Mina was out there, so I was very happy!
RATING: ***1/2

Post-match, we get a brawl between all four ladies in the ring! Excalibur says Mina is POUNDING Julia Hart. That’s my future ex-wife! Thekla is here to help her girls out, but Willow Nightingale is here to help even the odds!

Our main event is coming up next. But before that, we get Britt Baker and Persephone glazing one another! They are so good, but Hyan and Rosa are so dumb to challenge them to a match in Pittsburgh…no… BRITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania. Persephone says they will see them next week, but she is a fighting Champion, and she will put her precious baby on the line against anyone BUT Hyan. She can spend the weekend licking her wounds at home.

BREAK IN PROGRESS!

Ace Austin vs. PAC

HE’S OUR BASTARD chants as we get some strong chain wrestling to start. Austin wrestles PAC to the mat but that doesn’t last long, as PAC hits an arm drag. Off the ropes, Austin with a drop toehold, a side kick, and a basement dropkick! Austin picks up PAC and goes into squat mode, but PAC grabs him by the hair to get free. Austin counters with a dropkick to send PAC to the floor. Austin to the apron, PAC misses not ONCE but TWICE trying to knock Austin off the apron only to eat a PK. Austin over and around the turnbuckle and he wipes out PAC! Back in the ring, and Austin will NOT be denied his squats in the middle of the ring! Ten squats later and PAC eats a DVD as we hit our final break.

PAC is in control as we return from the break. PAC with the pin, but Austin kicks out. PAC holds the cravat and throws Austin to the corner. Austin with self-defense kicks that send PAC across the ring. Austin to the corner, he goes over top of PAC and throws him to the mat! Austin with clotheslines and an Angle Slam! CLICK CLICK says Austin who hits a standing leg drop. Austin follows PAC across the ring with the Miz corner clotheslines. PAC regains his wits, but he charges at Austin and he misses. Austin to the top and he hits a guillotine leg drop for a two. Austin lines up PAC, but he side steps Ace and hits a snap German. Austin lands on his feet, but he again charges PAC only to get thrown overhead into the corner. PAC to the top and the Black Arrow connects for the win!
WINNER: PAC
TIME: 10:35
THOUGHTS: I know I am crazy, but I feel like that match ending came from out of nowhere. Maybe it was designed that way, but it felt random. It didn’t take away from a brilliant match and Collision main event, though!
RATING: ***3/4

Post-match, PAC looks to lock in the Brutalizer, but here comes Switchblade Jay White! He jumps PAC, so here come the Dogs and the Death Riders. The rest of the BBG are here! Andrade’s music hits, and PAC looks to escape the ring, but he comes through the crowd and attacks PAC! Everyone is fighting everywhere as we head off the air.

And with that, we are done!
