Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary. 

Kyle Davis interviews Thom Latimer and Bryan Idol in the ring. Kyle says Idol has met the requirements for the Lucky 7 and asks when he will cash in. He says he wants to cash in vs Silas Mason. Kyle asks how Thom factors in. Idol says Silas Mason was trying to find a way out when he found out he was getting close to the Lucky 7. He says Silas broke him last time but didn't kill him. He says what doesn't kill him makes him stronger. He said he asked for a No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere Match vs him. 

Idol says Silas is trying to get out of it. Idol says Billy Corgan made a tag match with Idol and Thom vs Silas and a partner with the winning team deciding the stipulation. Thom says he's proud of Idol and says they have been pals for a long time. He says he went from a non-entity to the face of the place and says he defended his title all over the world. He says he can't wait for him to get his hands on Silas and become champ. Thom says he wants nothing more than to kick the crab out of The Southern Six. Idol says the tag match is happening and says let's do it.

Kratos and Odinson do a promo. Kratos says The Country Gentlemen will get introduced to grown man sh!t.

Dr. Vik's Abode

Vik is with TV-MA and shows off the pool area. Tiff says they've been here but not when he was around and Vik asks how he could miss that. Vik says they did good work but need to take it to the next level. Vik says they need to talk 1v1. He says all 3 members have a niche and he plans to bring it out like they won't believe.

The Southern Six talk. They ask who Silas is picking as his partner. Silas says he hasn't thought about it. He says it's not about anyone, it's about all six. He says he will pick Kerry and Alex gets worked out. Silas says Alex is getting too hot. Kerry says and when you're hot, you're hot and when you're not...Alex says that's his line then Kerry and Silas leave.

Trevor Murdoch vs PB Smooth

Trev hits shots on him in the corner. Smooth slams and legdrops him. PB stomp flurries him. PB chops him and clubs him. PB chinlocks him. Trev hits some shots and PB STO's him. Cristiano Argento comes out with  chair and PB punches the chair into Argento's face. Trev diving bulldog's PB off the top and pins him.

Thoughts: It was just a quick one here with Cristiano Argento costing PB the match. We'll have to see where things go.

Kylie Paige does a promo. She says her foot was on the ropes in the tag match. She says she doesn't quit or give up. She says she will prove her point in the submissions match and Hera will submit.

The Slimeballz, Aron Stevens and Carson Drake do a promo. Aron says Alex Misery put his hands on him and he's sick of people saying he's not tough and he's weak. He says misery loves company and he'll have 5 pounds of white thunder (his fist). Drake says Aron's a manager and he doesn't fight. Aron says he doesn't fight unless he has to. He says freak losers like him don't beat him.

Submission Match - Kylie Paige vs Hera

Thoughts: They are definitely trying to make Hera into something. She's not the greatest in the ring but the division could use some new faces. This wasn't that interesting but KP lost without losing here.

Sirena Veil and Vipress do a promo. She asks if The Hex wants to talk history. She says they don't intimidate them. Sirena says the future is lust for violence.

Elimination Match - Alex Taylor vs JAC vs Tyler Franks vs Bryce Hansen

All 4 pair off. JAC is pulled out then JAC pulls TF out. Bryce trips Alex, tries a pin then dropkicks him. Bryce death valley drivers Alex. Bryce hits shots on JAC. JAC misses a corner splash.

Thoughts: It was a random one and Bryce lost in his debut with the company here. Alex picked up all the pins here. I was surprised they didn't have him lose since he's been on a bad luck streak, but I guess that is over with now. It was a short match and not too much of note.

The Lost talk in the back. Alex Misery headbutts a door and asks if Aron Stevens wants to mock him. He then bangs a light tube off his head. He says Aron is awakening something he's not ready to see.

Aron takes a big bump out of the ring. Alex wins via countout.

Thoughts: The finish was something but it makes sense as Aron's glove is loaded and he was hit with it. Alex thankfully won here but this isn't over I'm sure.

The Lost celebrate with Alex after.

The Cazana's do a promo. Joe says finally a set of champs gave them a shot. Joe says the tag titles are on the line and says to meet the new tag champs. Joe says they will do things by the book.

Kerry Morton and Silas Mason do a promo. They say they take on Thom and Idol next week. Kerry says it gets on his nerves that Idol is talking the talk and asks if he knows who he is messing with. Silas says Thom proved to the world that he doesn't have what it takes to beat him. Silas says Idol thinks just because he cashed in the Lucky 7 that he can reach world title competition. Silas says Kerry doesn't even know about that. Kerry disagrees and they argue. Kerry says he will start the match off and show that he has what it takes to wrestle world championship competition.

NWA World Tag Titles - The Immortals (Kratos and Odinson) vs The Country Gentlemen (KC and AJ Cazana)

The announcers say Joe Cazana signed this match when he was running the NWA. I expect The Cazana's to pull the upset off here as it would give both teams something to do going forward. KC has a new shorter haircut and has his hair dyed dark.

Joe rips up fan signs before the match. KC struts and takes corner spears from Odin. Odin hits euros on him then hits corner spears. Odin hits a 2nd rope corkscrew euro from behind for 2. Odin hits corner spears on KC then misses one. KC wraps Odin's arm around the ropes. Odin's head is banged off the buckles.

KC is given Joe's book. KC throws it to Odin then sells like he got hit. The ref DQ's Kratos and The Cazana's win...but they don't win the titles of course.

Thoughts: Well, The Cazana's did win though it was by DQ. That should lead to a rematch at least and should extend this a bit. This didn't get a ton of time and Odin mostly got his arm worked on before Kratos hot tagged in.  

Overall thoughts: We had multiple DQ/Countout finishes on this show. However, they didn't appear to happen for no reason and we should get some feuds off of them. That's a good thing. There was nothing must see wrestling wise as usual and I wouldn't really recommend this one, but the show mostly made sense booking wise and we'll have to see where it goes. This was a show to set up other shows. I'd give it this a 5 out of 10.

Thoughts: It was the match you would expect with them chopping, forearmming and lariating each other. It was a good enough match but it wasn't one that you would remember and was pretty similar to other Ishii matches. I liked Ishii's uppercut forearms here.

Thoughts: I suppose TI was the face here but he didn't do a great job of it. TI didn't do a lot of flying here but Ric did. Ric won was expected here and it was just acceptable only.

Thoughts: I thought it went longer than it needed to and wasn't anything too great. They lost some of the pace of this halfway through and I don't think they got most they could have out of this.

Thoughts: They had done more than enough at 15 minutes. It was the high flying match you would expect with these two. I don't know if they really got the most out of the time. It was similar to what I thought it would look like and definitely was an indy style match more based on moves, flips and kickouts than selling. 

IWGP Tag Team Title Match - Knockout Brothers (OSKAR & Yuto-Ice) (c) vs. Gates Of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona)

Thoughts: It wasn't as good as some of the other KOB matches. It just didn't get quite as heated as it should have and they didn't get a great pace going. What we got was fine just it didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. While they overdid it in some of the other matches, they did not go all out here.

IWGP Women's Title Match - Syuri (c) vs. Athena

Thoughts: It was a stiff battle. Ath threw Syu around recklessly like usual. Syu worked the arm some but it didn't go anywhere. I don't think they got much out of some of the stuff near the end. I thought it was acceptable but they really needed one of them to back down a little and put the other over.

Athena refuses a handshake after. Syu grabs the ROH Women's Title and gives it back to Ath. 

We see I think Alex Windsor working out, but she's not wearing make up so she looks like someone else. She challenges Syuri for the NJPW Strong Women's Title.

Idolo spears him for 1. Yota cradles him then spears him. Yota hits another spear for 2. Yota crabs him and Idolo taps.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. It was an indy style match with canadian destroyers, spanish flies and a stupid boston crab finish. They did each other's moves here and the selling wasn't good at all.

Yota thanks the fans for coming to an NJPW show and thanks Idolo. Yota says he's the IWGP champ and the IWGP Global champ after. He says his name is Yota Tsuji. He says he's not the future, it's his time. He says this is his era and name.  He says there are many great promotions but believes NJPW is the best. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show and everything on here got plenty of time. The crowd wasn't mic'd well and the arena wasn't lit well and that hurt some of the matches. Ishii/Oleg was the best match here  and the tag title match was the second best bout but nothing was great. I thought it was an average show but the bookers tried to make it an appealing card. I'd give this a 5 out of 10. 

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/2/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/2/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wwe-monday-night-raw-2232026.html

We are in Indianapolis, IN. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary. 

We see various wrestlers arrive. 

The Vision come out. Heyman says they are here to talk about Seth Rollins. Paul says Seth stole credit for co-founding The Vision and The Shield. He says Seth stole The Elimination Chamber and stole the Wrestlemania main event from Logan. He says they will stomp Seth out the next time he's in a WWE ring. 

Theory says him and Seth go way back and Seth isn't going forward. Logan calls Seth a scumbag. Logan says the rest of the show won't happen until Seth comes out. 

Adam Pearce comes out with security and interrupts. Adam says they are holding the show hostage but says they were the ones who injured Jey Uso. Paul says they had nothing to do with Jey but will plead guilty in advance to what they will do to Seth. Paul then throws the mic at Adam. 

Adam says he needs to talk Seth but can't with them out here. Adam says Seth should be left to him as he is not medically cleared to compete. A masked man comes to ringside and security chases him. Another masked guy comes out and Logan chases that one to the back. A third masked guy comes out and Theory chases him. 

Paul then has another masked guy looking at him. Another masked guy, who is Seth, then appears on the apron with a chair. Seth then chairs Paul and curbstomps him. 

Paul Heyman is in an ambulance with fake blood coming out of his noise. Logan and Austin asks what is wrong and say to stop the bleeding. A car arrives, Theory thinks its Logan and it's Jimmy Uso. Jimmy beats up Austin, sending him into the ambulance and some boxes. Jimmy then sees LA Knight and he's driving the ambulance. He says Paul will get help he needs and he drives away.

Thoughts: This was a very entertaining segment and a good way to get things started.

Lee lariats him and jumping kicks him. Lee lariats him. Gun sleepers him then grounds him with it. Gun rips the mask off and the ref calls it off quick.

Thoughts: It was a bit ripped up by breaks but what we got was good. Gun stiffed him and Lee was fine as fiery flying face. This was probably the best thing Lee has done yet in WWE and this helped Gun out. 

Asuka yells at Kairi Sane in the back for losing last week. Sane says Asuka told her she did good. Asuka pie faces her, shakes her head around and yells at her. AJ Lee walks past Sane and asks if she's good. Sane is in a daze and ignores her.

AJ Lee comes out. She says she came back purely to snatch the hair off Becky Lynch's head and snatched her title. She says she didn't know if she could still go. AJ said the fans thought she could still go and believed in her. She said they made her believe she could beat the best of the best. She says Becky gave the fight of her life and she proved to herself that she can still be championship material.

AJ says she's still who she thinks she is. She says now that Becky is behind her, Wrestlemania is ahead of her. She says she will be a fighting champ. She says it's been 12 years since she was a champ and she's not taking it for granted. She said she mentioned she wanted to get her hands on some women in the locker room and knows they want to get their hands on her. She tells the women who want a shot at her to come out. She says she will defend the IC Title the next time she's in the ring and tells the girls to show her what they've got. 

El Grande Americano Original goes up to Penta.  He says he's excited for his title match tonight. He says when he wins the title, he is first in line. Penta says he's zero fear.

Grande grabs Grande II and is kicked by Bravo. Rayo is sent into Bravo and Grande hits a chaos theory on Rayo to win.

Thoughts: It was an entertaining match with a lot of outside shenanigans. Rayo plancha'd Grande and landed on his head here which had to hurt. Grande won as expected here as there was no reason to have him lose.

Penta does a promo on Dominik Mysterio. He says he will come out with all the energy and hearts of his people when he faces Dom. He says no one will save him and Penta says he will become the new IC champ tonight because he's Penta and has no fear.

She says AJ is looking for a challenger and says why can't it be Bayley? Bay says she's right and Lyra tells her to go get her shot. Bay says she cost her a title match vs Becky and they should both go. They go to Adam's office and see Iyo Sky coming out. They then go in.

Dan curses Dom and disappears.

Thoughts: This was a much better segment than Danhausen's debut and it's too bad they didn't debut him this way.

Jackie Redmond interviews Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky on the stage. RR says losing their Women's Tag Titles sucked. RR says Iyo has been her opponent, partner and best friend. RR thanks her for supporting her and being by her. She thanks her for pulling her out of a very dark situation. Iyo says RR would do the same for her but showed everyone why she is always awesome. Iyo says she will be okay on Raw and tells her to win the title at Mania. RR says she will win it for her. She tells her to hold down Raw for her. RR says she will see Jade face to face on SD and will be leaving the new Women's champ.

Thoughts: It feels like Rhea and Iyo are done and kind of confirms Rhea is winning the title at Mania.

WWE Intercontinental Title - Dominik Mysterio (c) vs Penta

They trade waistlocks. Dom back elbows him. They superkick each other. Penta flying headscissors him. Dom superkicks him. Dom goes for a dive and is kicked. Penta dropkicks him out then tope con hilos him. We go to break and return.

Dom asks JD McDonaugh to get the hammer. Finn stops JD when he tries and says no as he says Dom wanted to do this by himself. Penta tope con hilos Finn and JD. Penta canadian destroyers Dom and pins him.

Thoughts: Dom had to lose eventually I suppose but it's risky to mess with things that are working. Dom's probably going to be feuding with Finn though. I don't think Dom and Penta had the best match they could have and it was a little slow between the various spots. I thought it was just average.

Penta holds the title up as fireworks shoot off.

Roman Reigns comes out. CM Punk comes out right after. Punk asks why he looks so angry and says he's giving Roman what he wants. H says he's acknowledging him. They talk about some tweet that Roman made at Punk and Punk says it didn't bother him. Punk says the bags under his eyes are so big as he has to carry Roman's BS for 7 weeks til Mania. He says they have history in the WWE as The Shield debuted here and he brought him to the dance. Roman says he brought the other two, not him. 

Punk says he feels like he won Mania already judging by the crowd. He says he's in his head and is under his skin. He says he can see right through him. Roman says he does hate him. He says he'd be indifferent to him if he didn't have the title and he wouldn't exist to him.

Roman keeps calling him Phil and says they brought him back to please the 30-40 year old virgins and to pop a Chicago crowd. He says they didn't bring him back to be champ as it's too much above him. Roman says Punk is a liar and they can't trust him. Roman says Punk is complaining in the back and isn't CM Punk, but a punk @ss b!tch to him. He says when he gets the title, he will put him a Cena retirement tour. He says he will send him to NXT where he can teach the next gen. He says Punk can send them up to NXT where he can snatch every one of them. 

Roman walks away and Punk asks if he thinks he can get away with him. Punk says Roman is all alone. He says Roman is chasing him. Punk says he's the champ. Punk says he runs things here and this is his show. He says Roman can hate him but he won't let him disrespect him. He says Roman made the list and he will now bury him instead of beating him at Mania. He says Roman won't be alone as he will bury him next to his father. 

Thoughts: This was designed to make us think they were shooting on each other here. Roman got the best of Punk in this one and Punk had a weird line at the end where he said he would bury him next to his father. This was not as good as their last mic battle.

Overall thoughts: Things started off hot and they had a strong first hour. It was still okay after but cooled off a bit. Dom list his IC Title in a surprise. Gunther and Dragon Lee had a good match. The Grande's continued their feud. The women weren't super active on this show and the Punk/Roman segment wasn't as good as the first one. We also got our second look at Danhausen, who did much better this time around. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall and they definitely upped things a bit as the build to Mania heats up. I liked it overall and thought it was good.

Thoughts: It was a very basic match that wasn't too impressive. We just got basic dives here without too much flair and the heels didn't impress much either. It was acceptable but was near boring at times.

Thoughts: It was a very average and by the numbers match. The rudos winning ensured it would be a bit less exciting as well. There weren't a ton of highlights here.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout but not too much more. Neon still isn't quite doing all of his big dives after he got injured. We didn't see much of Gran at all in this. 

Overall thoughts: All the stars are away in Japan so Puebla got the B-Team here. No one really tried that hard or did anything too spectacular here and it was an average night of wrestling. I wouldn't recommend this one at all and thought everyone mailed it in for the most part. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and it was as average as it gets.

CWA Campeones del Hexagono 8/6/2022

CWA Campeones del Hexagono 8/6/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/08/cwa-campeones-del-hexagono-7302022.html

We are at the famous (not really) Senor Frog's Restaurant for this one.

We see clips of last week's Marty Scurll vs Eros Quinones match.

Marty Scurll does a promo and says he's the new champion. He says it should make sense than the best wrestler in the CWA is the champ. He says long live The Villain.

This is our entrance way for the wrestlers. Definitely getting some Bash at the Beach vibes here.

Metal Boy vs Super Georgie

SG goes up and over and running back elbows him. SG hits more kicks to the body. He sweeps him and kicks him in the back of the head to win.

Thoughts: I liked it. Metal was fine as the heel. SG did some okay flying here and had some decent looking kicks.

Robert Diaz, Angel Rodriguez and Hansel Velez (in order)

Angel Rodriguez, Hansel Velez and Robert Diaz talk in the back. Velez says he passed his job onto the other guy. The other argues with him. He says if he wants to talk, let's talk in the office and solve it there in private. Velez doesn't look pleased as the other walks away with Angel.

Los Naturales (Criminal HD and Lizander el Intocable) vs Crowley and Craven

Note - I do not think I have the spelling right on Craven or Crowley's names. It took at least a half hour to figure out who anyone in this was as there were no graphics.

Criminal HD has the black and red tights on and he's thinner. Liz backs up Crowley (long hair) then pushes him down. Crowley side headlocks him then is hiptossed. Crowley slides out to recoup. Craven pushes Liz back on the lock up. Craven side headlocks him. Craven is hiptossed and he goes out. 

Crowley and HD fight. HD hits forearms and facebusters him for 2. Crowley lariats HD then flying lariats him. HD grabs the ropes on the pin attempt. HD is double teamed in the corner. We go to break and return.

Craven chops HD then ddt's him for 1. Craven chokes him on the ropes. Crowley running boots HD. HD gets double stomped by his opponents. Craven kicks HD in the head for 2. 

Crowley hits an elbow drop for 2. Criminal takes a double back elbow then Craven elbow drops him. Craven misses an elbow drop. Craven hits a big lariat on Liz. Los Naturales hit stereo mounted corner punches then Craven is whipped into a lariat. Crowley takes a double chokeslam and is pinned.

Thoughts: The execution wasn't bad but I don't think they really got the flow down here. They also had a weird moment where the sound from one of the commercials kept playing instead of the commentary. I feel like The Natural's can go, especially Criminal HD but this wasn't that great.

We see clips of Leandra keeping the full nelson on Alisson from the show from 2 weeks ago. We then see her stomping her on the floor.

Alisson does a promo on Leandra. Ali says it's unbelievable that Leandra attacked her while she was down. She says when she catches her, she will smash her face like she did her mother. She says she's fine and is coming for her reign. She says she has a surprise in mind - a fourth generation wrestler. The announcers say it is Leandra's daughter.

Leandra comes out for her match and Alisson attacks her. Ali hits hard forearms then Leandra fights back. Ali hits some stiff shots. Ali beats her with a kendo stick. Leandra pushes her down and refs break it up. Leandra trips and Ali hits her, nailing her good in the face. 

Alisson gets on the mic. Ali challengers her to maybe an anything go match. Leandra declines. Leandra teases running in but the refs hold her back. They end up not fighting and the announcers say they will have a street fight on Summer Mayhem. 

Leandra does a promo in the back with a girl She says this place will be too small for the beating she will give her. She says she will show why she is called Leandra.

Manuel Rodriguez does a promo. He says he will rip his opponent's head off. We see clips of Manuel Rodriguez getting attacked with a tire iron.

Angel Rodriguez is with Los Inmortales and Robert Diaz. They have the tire iron that Manuel Rodriguez got attacked with and Angel laughs.

Overall thoughts: We had two matches here and a confrontation between Alison and Leandra. The opener was alright with both guys doing what they were supposed to do. The tag match that followed didn't quite get the flow down that it should have and wasn't as good. Criminal HD looked okay in it though. We then had a scuffle between Alisson and Leandra to close the show. There was nothing that great here and the show is very hard to follow if you are checking it out for the first time. I wouldn't recommend this one and would just give it a 5 out of 10.

AAA on Fox 2/28/2026

AAA on Fox 2/28/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/aaa-on-fox-2212026.html

We are in Monterrey, Mexico. Corey Graves, JBL and Rey Mysterio are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arriving and hanging out. 

El Grande Americano II comes out to talk. Grande is super over with the crowd. Grande says it's beautiful to be back home with his people. He says they need to talk about El Grande Americano Original. He says he came to his house and stole his name, colors and people. He says he also uses AI to speak Spanish as he doesn't know how. He says this isn't the US or Raw, it's different because it's Mexico. Grande also calls him shorty during this.

Grande calls for Pimpinella Escarlata, who is outside of El Grande Original's locker room. Pimpi says he's room service. Grande Original asks who he is and Pimpi asks what kind of food he wants. Grande Original says no bueno. Pimpi goes in his locker room and calls him a fake. Grande Original hits him with a shoe, throws a chair at him and stomps him. Security then comes to break it up.

We go to break. Someone talks but we only see a black screen and it's Spanish, so who knows who it is.

AAA World Cruiserweight Title #1 Contendership Match - Dragon Lee vs. Jack Cartwheel

They lock up. Lee backs him up in the corner and lets go. They trade some basic holds. JC cartwheels while in the wristlock then flips out of a snapmare.

Thoughts: They did a little too much here. I liked it up to that point though. Jack can really do some great flying and it was nice to see someone in there with him who could keep up with him.

Dragon Lee talks on the mic after. He says he wants his title match tonight. TJ Perkins comes out. He says he's not #1 but #2 because Laredo Kid likes to cheat. Lee dares him to step in the ring.

Pimpinella Escaralata is still down in the back with a neckbrace on. The doc says he has cervical neck issues and it seems like Pimpi is out for tonight.

El Ojo (Omos, Dorian Roldan and El Hijo de Vikingo) talk. Dorian talks. Vikingo asks if he thinks Omos will win tonight. Dorian thinks he will. Vikingo asks if Omos will win Rey de Reyes and if he can beat Dom. Dorian says yes. Vikingo asks what he's thinking. He says if Omos wins Rey de Reyes, he has to face Omos. Dorian says he is steps ahead of him and will have control of the company. He says Vikingo will be Mega champ and Omos will have the sword. Dorian says he will get him a match to warm up for Dominik Mysterio. He says it's the beginning of a plan he's been working up for a long time. Dorian says they are the faction that is most united and says they will make sure tonight.

Next week's Rey de Reyes Qualifier has Santos vs Iguana vs Clown vs Abismo Negro. They say Rey de Reyes will be a 3 week event and it will start in 2 weeks.

Pimpinella Escaralata is in a neckbrace in an ambulance. He says Grande Original ruined his body and he doesn't feel good. Pimpi asks Grande to step in the ring for him, take his spot tonight and do it for Mexico. Grande says let's do it for Mexico.

Grande OG gets hit with a chair by La Parka III. Grande II flying headbutts Page and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a wild one with multiple people coming out, weapons and various twists and turns. I liked the logic of Omos' opponents teaming up on him. They protected Omos' loss well here as he was handcuffed to the ropes. Omos didn't move that great and was a little sloppy here. The crowd was really into this and helped make it into a fun bout. It wasn't perfect and the work could have been better but I enjoyed it. There should be a lot booking wise coming out of this with La Parka and Los Americanos.

Grande II poses near the sword while Los Americanos dance on the stage.

Overall thoughts: It was a fun show as always. Pimpi's stuff was amusing. Jack and Dragon Lee did some impressive flying but overdid it some. The Grande vs Grande feud continues to be one of the better feuds of 2026. The main didn't have the most perfect work in it but all the run-in's were fun and they had the logic right. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and thought it was a fun show as usual.

Last week's show is here:

Thoughts: It got a lot of time to play out. The tag match was fine with a lot of people coming in and out and a lot of strikes being thrown. They tried to get Yuta's hat off a few times here but couldn't. 

Konosuke Takeshita comes out and attacks Mox. They fight their two groups do a very lazy and pathetic job of trying to break it up. They then fight on the ramp and go to the back.

Thoughts: Jay looked like a fool here as this was basically a 3v1 and he still lost clean. The work was alright though otherwise and was fine as expected. Ciampa was the favorite going in and pulled this one out. 

The Iinspiration do a video. We see clips of Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor going after them at the AEW House Rules Australia that show we didn't see. They say The Birds don't have the balls to go after them. They say they will make their debut on Dynamite. They say they can step back, step up or step aside.

Thoughts: It was really dumb for them to debut The Iinspiration on an unaired house show. Why AEW did that is unknown especially since AEW had a longer special edition of Collision when they were in Australia. It's hard to care about that feud since we didn't actually see it.

We see a video on Clark Connors that is shot like it's a movie or an ad. We see him on the beach and at some kind of fight club. He talks to someone and said he knows how to play dirty. He says nobody ever wins in a fight.

Alex then chopos Tyra. Tyra takes a double suplex. Tyra takes a sandwich lariat then is hit with a hart attack. Tyra is pinned.

Thoughts: AEW doesn't like to tell us who jobbers are usually until midway through the match. It's very frustrating as a reviewer and doesn't help anything. The Birds won as expected here and hit some stiff shots. Tyra had cat style paint on her face.

The Swirl, Private Party, The Outrunners and Dralistico/Rush all briefly talk about an upcoming $200,000 tag on next week's Collision.

He says "whoever wants to step up" and Jetspeed come out. Mike says they could be unstoppable but he beat Kyle in the Continental Classic and Kevin beat Okada there too. Okada says they never beat Protokada. Kyle then says "b!tch" and Kevin says he likes it and it's funny. He says a tag match with them would be box office. Mike and Kevin then challenge them for singles title matches and offer to defend their trios titles against them. Kevin says who they choose as a partner doesn't matter as they will stay on top. 

We get a Darby Allin vs Gabe Kidd video. Darby is with Orange Cassidy on a roof. Gabe says he will push up daisies and Darby says there's a reason he didn't die yet. He says the story doesn't end with Darby vs Gabe and challenges Gabe and Clark to a tag match.

He then walks by. Hook runs into Anthony Bowens. Bowens says Hook is one of his best friends and has had his back since he started. He says he'll be getting a former trios and tag champ. Hook says he doesn't have to sell himself to him but this is business. He says the question is if he's a proper fit for The Opps. He says they are killers and asks if Bowens is a killer. He says he will think about it and tells him to think about what he said.

Thoughts: It was fast paced but not that good. There were a lot of weak superkick here and they didn't connect on everything. 

Thekla comes out. She says if there's one thing she can't stand, it's two dumb b!tches. She says if Rosa is ready to get toxic. She tells Kris to tell her how she made her cry and bleed. Thek says Rosa should retire already. She says to give it up for the past of the AEW Women's division and says now it belongs to her.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout. Did it accomplish much else? Not really. Idolo didn't fly too much here and Ishii stuck to the usual forearms, headbutts and lariats.

Bandido comes out and claps for Idolo after. We are told they will be facing each other at Revolution.  

Overall thoughts: We had a bit more star power than usual which was nice but we still had the usual Collision matches and squashes. I do think they did an okay job of making this feel somewhat important and the show wasn't bad overall. I would give it a 6 out of 10 as the wrestling mostly carried this one. It was an okay show here. I would say the 8-man tag was the best match on here.
