Happy Thanksgiving, Y’all!

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means…


AEW starts with the heat! Samoa Joe is here and he is seething. We are reminded of last week when The Devil’s homies attacked MJF backstage.

Joe introduces himself to Texas. He is here to find some answers. It wasn’t too long ago when he promised MJF he’d protect him until he could get his hands on him. Last week, he was made into a liar. He saw on the screen MJF laid out, potentially jeopardizing his title shot.

You see, Joe recalls the beer bottle brand, and he knows it’s a favorite of a certain cowboy. He also smelled Stetson and disappointment. He then looked how and low for a certain cowboy, and it seemed like a certain Hangman was missing.

This brings out Hangman Adam Page, and he looks the opposite of happy.

He tells Joe to accuse him like the man he thought Joe was. If Joe thinks it’s Page, that he has anything to do with this, that he gives the remotest of damns about The Devil, you’d be so wrong. He doesn’t care about the bromance, lazer tag, the Whodunit. He doesn’t care.

Joe tells him Page made the mistake of thinking that Joe is a detective, but he’s out here as an executioner.

Page says if there is something Joe wants to do about it, then do it.

”SAMOAAAAAAAA”

Roderick Strong says Joe is so lucky they didn’t hurt him last week. But something Joe needs to do is listen to Hangman. Has Joe seen what’s been happening? Jay White asks for a title match, he gets attacked. The Acclaimed loses a tag match with MJF and they get attacked. But come 11/29, they don’t lay a single shot on him. Last week, we never saw anyone physically touch MJF, we just saw him laying there. Think, it’s obviously MJF. MJF is The Devil. Come on Joe.

Page grabs Strong, gives him a hard right to the face, and here comes the ref.


As Page stares down the exiting Joe, Strong attacks him from behind and the bell rings.

Hangman Adam Page vs Roderick Strong

Mike bennett distracts Aubrey and Taven holds Page’s leg as he climbs. Strong enters the ring and hits a huge backbreaker ON THE TURNBUCKLE!!! Ouch.

WE come back from a break and they are exchanging blows in the middle of the ring. Strong misses a. back elbow and Page hits some forearms, he misses an elbow, Strong catches a leg, tries for a backbreaker, but Page drops his foot down, both spin, and they get a double forearm to the faces!

Hangman to the top rope, MOONSAULT TO BOTH MEN!!! Strong rocks back, Hangman enters the ring. DEADEYE!

Winner: Hangman Adam Page
If Strong is involved, at all, with The Devil stuff, he needed to look somewhat capable as a wreslter, so this match helped, even if it does seem odd that he’d go 10+ minutes with someone like Page. The thing is, we’ve been conditioned so much to assume jobbers/comedy wrestlers cant wrestle, and AEW sometimes tries to dispel that. I think this was one of those times. Still, the issue comes with that indescribable emotional tie to matches we have, and this one simply didn’t have it.

WE head backstage with some of The Von Erichs! They love AEW.

Here comes Orange Cassidy, Danhausen, and Trent Barretta

OC asks The Von Erichs if they’d tag with him, and they say yes.


We come back and Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho are making their entrance to Jericho’s music. Kenny admits that he had no idea what the words to Jericho’s song were, so thanks for that. Jericho says they haven’t been around because of Big Bill and Ricky Starks. Jericho says he’s waited three weeks to do this, and calls out Bill and Ricky.

Here comes Ricky Starks and Big Bill with their titles and styles.

Ricky wonders if we’ve missed him, and yes, yes I have. Ricky has no problem with Kenny, but Jericho…he just sucks the life out of everything. It makes him question Kenny, though. Does he really think he can trust Jericho? Look at The Inner Circle, JAS, all those people in the past.

Big Bill tells him to lok at all Jericho has actually done to Omega. Jericho attacked him, randomly, nobody would ever be surprised. Just sayin.

Omega says they’re basing this off of his trust with Jericho? Does he trust Jericho? Jericho knows Omega doesn’t trust him. As for track records…let’s look at The Firm. Remember that? Kenny doesn’t. Firm? More like flaccid…looked less Firm and something more…SAWFT? But hey, when it ocmes to beatdowns, Omega is the king of getting them. So hey, if they can talk a big game, they’ve earned a title shot, and guess what, at World’s End, maybe they can take the titles off their waist. How bout that?

Ricky says that’s all great and well, and he’ll speak for both of his team. They are on. But before they get to World’s End, let’s just remind Jericho of something. Remember January, Ricky beat him twice. He’s done half the work. He knows Jericho in and out. They are the best tag team there is because they are the champions.

Jericho says he keeps bragging about not having a name. Omega thinks they can fix that. How about The Absolute Assholes. No? How bout The Rick and The Dick. Omega says there needs to be wordplay. Ok, how about Big Billy Starks?!

Ricky says that fell flat. Ricky can excuse the name, but not the Hot Topic best of outfit. Jericho says he is no clout vampire, because if he was, he’d stay far away from Ricky. He says all he sees is a better dressed, less charismatic Enzo Amore. Omega says give Enzo credit, at least he made big Bill look good and not take all of his spotlight.

Ricky goes off on them, saying no one cares about Jericho. No one in the back. He is tired of Jericho and Omega is starting to piss him off. They want the titles, come and get them. They are the best, and if they think they are better, then prove it, you two Winnipeg Scumbags.

Omega takes offense, then tells us all he’s gotta sit on that one. He bids us all adieu. For today, goodbye, MUAH, and goodnight, BAHBANG!


We get Toni Storm on commentary for the next match, where she asks the crew if they want her to do Color or Play-by-Play. Lol. Great.

Riho vs Ruby Soho

Ruby gets in some work then covers only for Riho to bridge out the pin. She hits a running knee into the corner then a Northern Lights. Bridge gets a 1..2.NO!!! Tries for a second, Ruby blocks, shoots to the ropes, Ruby with a the wheelbarrow, roll through, and a stomp to the stomach! Riho sends Ruby to the corner! She hangs her! STOMP TO THE CHEST!!!

They gave Briscoe a hell of a lot of offense here. Probably to overcompensate for the loss. Either way, it was a great showing for Mark to show that he’s got some skill behind that face. Not that we didn’t know this, but it’s a nice little reminder.
