All right, we are here, we have made it is 10-14 on a Saturday night, we apologize for being late, but we had a cat that's literally trying to eat Kresta out of her house and home. We had a legit cat emergency on a Saturday night, everything is fine now and we are here and we are ready to roll. How can you not be fired up after the last four minutes there, Kresta? I mean, I tweeted this, Tony Khan, you sly dog, you booked that for Kresta star. I see what you did there, I see what you did there. Oh my goodness, tonight that main event was very, very good. I thought Thunder Rosa absolutely killed it in that match up, even though she did not come out on top, but we do have a new number one contender for the TBS Championship in Mercedes Monet. No rest whatsoever for what she's calling herself now, two belts Monet. She defended both of her championships in five days and now she has got another title match coming up on Saturday. So we'll break down all the ramifications from the main event tonight. Plus, I think we had like 19 tag team matches on this show tonight, a lot to get into. We appreciate everybody who is in the chat, get those super chats in, get those humper chats in. We'll read every single one of those on the air tonight throughout the entirety of the evening.

It really helps drive up the audience. Thank you guys so much, Rick, you know, Cressity star with you until we run out of stuff to talk about. Let's kick things off here. Cress to the first and the first collision since all in and we rolled up with some good old conglomeration hologram action here, a, a, a trios match here. Look, this was, these were six dudes I was not expecting to see in a ring at one time, but I was not mad at it. We had Kyle O'Reilly, Orange Cassidy and hologram against Johnny TV, Beast Mortos and Lee Moriarty. And by the way, like, you could just tell what kind of night this was going to be when we got hologram coming down to the ring. And we got Kyle O'Reilly doing the twist in the middle of the dang. How not hologram, Kyle O'Reilly is the most unserious wrestler. He's up there with Tama Tonga and talk a little bit of being super serious, but not serious at all. Not at all. I love it though. He was having a good old time. And then so was hologram when he got in the ring. That man just absolutely continues to impress the Spanish fly that he hit on Johnny TV was only outshined by Taya's reaction to it on the outside. The combo moves from Kyle and Orange were really, really smooth, especially in the part where this was supposed to be just absolute chaos. And we just had a constant interchanging of like six dudes running in the ring. And I totally missed who was even legal at this point, but led up to a really, really nice finish. Once again, hologram gets another win. This was chaotic. Again, it wasn't a six man match that I knew I needed to see until I saw it. It was a fun opener tonight here, Cresta. I agree. And as somebody who's watched the Beast Morto since he was Black Torus, this was fantastic. And honestly, I want him versus hologram. That's going to be some fancy fine Lucha Libre, if I do say so myself. Also I got to give a shout out to Tony Shavani on commentary congratulating Nigel McGinnis for coming back, being in all in, but also saying, Nigel, you got spirit out your boots. What are you talking about, Nigel? Like, relax. You were going to challenge who? Danielson. Oh, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I thought that was very cheeky and very nice. The spin that the Beast Mortos does, I think it was a tornado through the middle rope. That was so crisp. Like you said, that Spanish fly was crisp hologram is so good. So good. I cannot wait for the eventual hologram ricochet match because that's going to be who's feet are touching the ground, all three of them and we'll all spray, nobody's feet is touching the ground and I cannot wait. I mean, hologram, first off, hologram versus ricochet is would be like an Avengers level fight scene. I mean, just that that's what that would end up being. I do agree with you though, like hologram and Beast Mortos, we did see that a couple of weeks back. I think it might have been on one of the episodes that you weren't here for and it was me and an already a great net them, but I would be down. No, actually, I think it was me and SP three because neither of you or already were there. So it was that night. I'm not going to work. Yeah. So that was me and SP three doing the hologram Beast Mortos match. That was a fantastic match up. So I highly suggest going back and watch it. It's out there. The tape is there. The tape is there. Sure. But, you know, you bring up Nigel coming back, right? Man, like if we're ever going to get Nigel versus Brian Danielson, like it's times running out. Time is running out. I would love to see a match, even if it's like a warm up match where Danielson is like Nigel for the past two years you've been running me down. I think it's time for you to show me where those clams have been digging. All right. It's time. Like it's all going to. It's so interesting with Danielson, right? Because we just don't know what the timing is for him and he's already got what three number one contenders right now that are that are on his slate because he's got Jack Perry this Saturday. He's got Christian Cage anytime that Christian wants it. And then at Grand Slam, he's got Darby Allen and we're already hearing rumors about how, you know, AEW has been considering putting the belt on Darby. So would, you know, the greatest wrestler to come out of the state of Washington put over another guy to come out of the state of Washington in his final match. Like would that be something that they would do there? If that's the case, the clock is really ticking down and we need to get Danielson and Nigel McGinnis. If that match doesn't happen, that would be one of the greatest travesties of wrestling history. If that match never happens. I've got a lot of thoughts about Brian Danielson. Mostly. Yes, go ahead. Go ahead. I was getting ready to move on to the next thing. That was what we call a transition. But if you got a final thought, go ahead. I have a final thought with that with what you just said as well. This would be the second tragedy that AEW has committed if they don't do Danielson versus Nigel. And the first one was Christian Cage versus Brian Cage versus Ethan Cage versus Adam Page in a still cage on Rampage and we didn't get that. So at this point, you already booked some matches for me. You've already trademarked the meeting matches. Just have Danielson rough up, Nigel, even if it's a five minute squat, just shake him up. Just do it. Don't miss this opportunity again. I might be upset. I might be upset. I might be upset. I'm still going to watch. But I might be upset. A shock chiming into the chat. Was the show good? The show was very good overall tonight. There just wasn't the matches were really, really good. There just wasn't a lot of stakes for a show that was this close. Coming off of a pay-per-view just a week ago, less than a week ago, and with a pay-per-view next Saturday night, there weren't a whole lot of stakes outside of tonight's main event, which we will get to. I have a lot of thoughts on Brian Danielson and how much time he has left. A lot of that stems off of what we saw on Wednesday, Cresta, which we, after the open and contest, got a recap of John Moxley's reappearance in AEW. First time we had seen him since Forbidden Door, he shows up, no wild thing, pays absolutely no attention to the crowd whatsoever, gets in the ring with Tony Shavani, starts talking about how he needs to talk to Darby Allen about something, Darby not there after getting his ass whooped in the coffin match just three days prior, and Port Darby almost got lit on fire, that man, anywho, so you got Mox talking all this stuff, and then he comes back and he tells Tony Shavani, "Get this through your head, this isn't your company anymore." He starts running rampant with all of these like Shane McMahon, deep cut conspiracy theory things on Twitter, but then at the end of the night, Mox brings in Marina Shafir and they start, they're stealing Lance Archer's gimmick where they just start beating people up backstage and I'll sit there and go, "Okay, what the hell is this, Cresta, what do you make of what is going on with John Moxley?" I'm Marina Shafir for that, Matt. First of all, I want to say apologies deeply to Marina Shafir, I thought it was Beth Phoenix at first. I made the whole video because from the back, all that salt was mad, slowly, I don't know what those are. Don't worry, I guess, but Marina Shafir looks so good, so girl, yes, also if this means that the BCC are coming for blood now, it is quite a shame that Serena D was not involved in that. I think BCC is quietly being retired. I think so as well, especially with Danielson, coming to the sunset of his career, my choice, by the way, I could see that happening and I could see Mox going a little deeper and darker and while someone like a Claudio who's like, "Eh, I'll do it for a bit until I'm bored," you would have been like, "Yeah, you know what, I kind of like the violent thing, but not like this," I don't know, I don't know what to make of it, but all I got was retribution vibes the way it should have been. I did see the shame-ic man rumors, no, trying to debut him was after Ocada for and the royal rumble, not royal rumble. The casino gauntlet matches the award. The music would have been too perfect, Rainmaker, and then here comes the money. And then Buckshot Lariat and never see him again. I'm out of range, never see him again. But part of me is wondering, and the reason why I'm thinking of this, because I'm putting my mind together, my thoughts together on this, and I was like, "Oh crap, this might be a shame-ic man thing," and tell Marina Shafir showed up, right? So I'm like, "Okay, maybe they're doing kind of a blood sport thing, maybe there's something else, this other direction that they're going here." But part of me is wondering, and I'm just going to throw this out there and let you all just let it sink deep in the chat here and y'all can go crazy with this. What if Mox wants to talk to Darby Allen because he wants Darby Allen to retire Brian Danielson? What if Mox wants like, what if there's some kind of motivation here where Mox is trying to save Danielson from himself, and he wants Darby Allen to beat him for the AEW World Championship and end Brian Danielson's career? I don't have all the pieces of the puzzle together yet, but I'm wondering, because I'm trying to connect the dots here, the fact that he has changed his music. He clearly is being more heel-ish tactics, he's brought in Marina Shafir, and meanwhile you got Claudio and Yuda and Pac winning the Trio's titles and Brian Danielson winning the World Championship and going on this retirement tour, Mox has some, he's got some motives. I don't know what the motives are, but he's got some motives. I'm intrigued. I'm definitely intrigued by this. I'm sports intrigued with what you just said, because that sounds, that's not to make the much. I was like, that's, it's you sitting, I think it's the chin strap. No, that's, that is a, I don't have all the pieces, like it doesn't add up all just yet, but, because I remember, I think we, you and I are all three of us were speaking at one time, that Russell Dream or something is in Washington as well, I wouldn't it be nice to have Swerve and Danielson, because I do think there's more to Swerve's run. I understand giving it to Danielson right now is very akin to the last rodeo, Mickey James. I get it. It was never. It was never. Yeah. Yeah. And it's one of those things where it's like, if we're going to do it, same thing with Nigel let's do it then. I don't know if Darby is the one to retire him, and I don't know if Darby is someone you put in BCC. So I'm very sports, intrigued, and I would like to see where this goes, because Russell Dream is in Washington, and I believe that's the October pay-per-view. I believe it's, it's either October or November, I think it's November 2nd, yeah, it's, it's around there, right? But that's in Washington. But if you did a triple threat main event of Darby, Brian Danielson, and Swerve all from Washington, in Washington, in the main event for the AW World Championship, could do that, could do that. And if we Danielson doesn't have to eat a pin, he doesn't. I'm sure he would like to go out on his back though. Yeah. That just seems like the kind of guy that he would be anyway, there's lots of things to think about here. I'm here, I'm, I'm interested to see how this, this plays out. Mox could actually have something completely different from what Danielson's doing. So I don't know. We got a Humper chat here from Ryan. What? No, I just put the thing up with Drew said, Russell Dream is October 12th. Thank you. There we go. Okay. So we're closing in. We're closing in. We got Orion Ben 666 sitting in a Humper chat. They finally gave her ready in the main event. She was craving and she ain't here tonight, L O L TK heard our complaints and almost addressed them all. Sickos collide and kudos to South Dakota, treating everyone like a star tonight, give them a pay-per-view. I got to say I was impressed with the, with, with South Dakota. And that is literally the first time I think I've ever said that. Yeah. I don't know South Dakota for being like a Russell town. It's a night they were like, I don't care, but when I do, we do, we, oh, yeah, oh, yeah. We had the bang bang gang against the premier athletes. And all I can say on this match is love something as much as juice, love, shake in his hips to his own theme music. I feel like we have the same notes because the first note I have is juice this Donnie from the wild Thorne berries, he's having the time of his life. That dude was loving it. And he was the highlight, honestly, of the, of the match, like he was on one tonight. I did think this was a fun match where once again, the premier athletes found it way too easy to just grab ahold of that L. Like if they're on collision, excuse me, if they're on ring of honor, they know how to win there. You and far between I'd actually like to see them pick up some wins on collision if they're going to keep wrestling. But hey, they're on TV. They've got a role to play. These are really, really talented guys. So it's a, it's a start for them, Tony, Nisa's been in eight W now for like two years. So they've, they've got some, something like that. I think it time flies. It really does. Um, but yeah, man, it, it, either way, it's a good win to give the bang bang gang coming off of the, uh, the loss at all in. I agree. I, I feel like unfortunately this was a, uh, a fancy squash match, if you will. You know, Donald's went to church's chicken. You know what I mean? Like, it's not the wrong with that. They looked great. Mark Sterling doing what he had to do. Um, I really don't have any notes. I really don't have any notes. I kind of got the same with the, with a few of these. Um, we got, uh, we got a good doer asking in the chat here. Uh, hey guys, had a thought, Danielson versus Nigel, uh, at Wrestle dream. Look, I don't, you, you can put that, put that match on collision on dynamite, whatever, whatever, whatever, I just, it's just so hard to know what the timeline is for Danielson. If he's going to be able to stick around for another two, three months, I guess you could do that match at, uh, at, at Wrestle dream, but if he's only going to be able to stick around for six weeks and, and wrestle dream is the end game. I don't, I don't foresee Brian Danielson's title reign being very long. I, he's got transition, champion written all over him due to the circumstances, uh, surrounding where he's at right now. He has openly said he needs next surgery sooner rather than later. So that, that tells me, I don't know, he, he could drop it to Darby. Uh, he could drop it to, to swerve and a rematch. He could drop it to, he could win the triple threat match at wrestle dream and then Christian cage could decide to cash in his thing right there and walk out of wrestle dream with the title. Like. I mean, I think that a program with Christian cage and Danielson is not what I want to see. I don't want to see Christian cage talk about Danielson's dad. I don't, I don't want to hear Christian case talk about Danielson as a father. I, I, I don't want to hit. Oh, no, that's too good. That's too good. It will be. But I don't want to hit. I can, I can imagine some of the bio things he would say. Like, imagine, right? Like, imagine doing like a, a, a dominant deadbeat dad thing where you're like not afraid to go beyond calling him a deadbeat dad. Like Christian is not going to be, is not going to shy away, not going to shy away from just saying the most heinous horrendous shit on the planet. He would like shut up, well, I could duck my business and then just say something, hey, this shit. Like this is the same man who walked into, I think it was all out loud, walked into the all out media scrum last year and asked everybody in the media how their fathers were doing that night. Like this man does not give a single F. It's true, it's true, it's true. I think that might be the last program and that Daniel said may win with the Christian case. But I don't know. Cause like you said, Darby Allen is next month, 25 days away, 35 days away. We did get a super chat from Rafael Garcia saying. So are they now doing a pack pool combat club or the black pool, compact club, fun collision? But I do feel sorry for queen Amanata, uh, saw that pin coming a mile away. Hello, we'll get to the main event coming up here in a, in a little bit, but she's good. She is really, really good. And she is only going to get her opportunity is going to come in. When that Mercedes queen Amanata match does happen. Oh, I was rooting for her tonight. I really was. I was rooting for her tonight. Cressa FTR undisputed kingdom. Another one of these matches that kind of felt like a little bit like a glorified squash match tonight, but I'll say this much. I loved the stereo triple suplex spot. That is so difficult to hit the timing correctly on that. And they chefs kissed nailed it perfectly FTR gets the win with the big superplex and the splash, but thank God afterwards, we get Drake and Gibson who hit the ring. Grizzled young veterans are exactly what the AEW tag team division needed new blood because after the young bucks retained the tag team titles at all in needed needed something needed a new direction to go in and they're not ready for the young bucks yet. Dammit, this is an infusion of fresh talent in the tag team division desperately needed Cressa. So glad they're here. Where's Motor City machine guns? I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of waiting. Last case. Last we heard they were WWE bound. I know. They're out there though. Nothing happens. Whoever took forever to come to WWE who was coming who was coming the raw for mad long and got lost. Cuz that's how I feel. Yeah. Yeah. It took the same path that beer took like cuz what's happening? What is that? They took the same path. Honestly, Joel took them two years after getting drafted twice. So I. That being said, this match was fine. Taven was getting used. This match was hard. Taven was just getting used this match. Mike Bennett had a few spots, but Taven was selling. He was out here. So, so, so. I'm glad G.Y.B is here. I do like the line that Gibson, that Gibson, um, oh my God. Great. Who's the other gentleman? Drake. Thank you. That Drake says that we are constantly getting compared to you guys and we're tired of living in your shadow for no reason. No reason. We don't even know you guys because I'm bald got in here like I have respected. So that match is going to be audio listeners. I'm dancing. I'm happy. I'm happy. I'm about to be sports entertain. That's going to be a good tag team match. I still want more than motor city machine guns, G.Y.V. FTR. That's my spaghetti. It's all about throwing some, uh, throwing some M&M boys and, uh, we, we be cooking. We be cooking. Honestly, Dave, but the promo, their promos are going to make that whole M&M boys, but that would be great. Can't get enough of them. Cannot get enough of them. I will eat M&M's all night long. Don't give a fuck, but I did like that line as well, right? I love the, uh, we're, we're tired of living in their, in their shadows and I'm, I'm hoping they kind of do some kind of an angle here where it's like they're really, really been better because FTR left the E. They, they left the death star and they went out and they're having the matches that they've always wanted to. They're winning tag team championships and then these boys were given contacts and spooky gimmicks and stripped down to what they are not and, you know, relegated to, to NXT television. So maybe they can do some kind of an angle, uh, there we, uh, we had Lance Archer back to murdering people backstage. I didn't understand this cause I thought, okay, baby, we're getting a Lance Archer match, but I will say that if I am somebody who works there, I want to go to HR. This is unsafe. Maybe we don't know who those people were. Maybe that was the HR department that he was taking out. Girl, that's, I will say that one Christian Mingle punk was fired for putting Jack Perry at a Guillotine. And this man, choke slammed HR. Oh, girl. Yes. Wordered HR punk. Uh, yo, you can't fire me if no, no, it's here to fire me. I don't know what we do with Lance Archer. This is something we had already a complaint about because Lance could win everywhere except they eat W. So I beat other people backstage as like, so you're a bully man is just unhinged and then just grabs the camera and says, everybody guys, I would like to see Lance Archer win something against someone big, right in the cage. And then he say, everybody, that's how I believe it. I need you to F fiber hurricane, do something like a Brian cage, a really meaty man. And then I believe it. But until then, it's like, his biggest win on AEW television was when he beat John Moxley for the I WGP United States championship. And that I believe was two years ago. I believe if my way they disrespect Lance Archer here in AEW is criminal. Yeah, yeah, we'll be back after more with more just a second guys, manscaped.com and the code Fightful. They have a monopoly on the bathroom. Let's be real. When they start selling wipes, it's over for everybody. What don't they have at manscaped? It starts off, you know, with your body parts, your balls in your butt, but it's a lot more than that. They've got everything in the bathroom from the shower with body wash and shampoo and body buffers to the beard. They have a phenomenal beard trimmer. They have beard combs, beard oil, beard conditioner, all that good stuff. And for your nether regions as well. They have a variety of packages that you can try out from ones that go from the bathroom to your body to your hair. It doesn't really matter. They've got you covered. They've got a little something for everybody. If you're on the go, they have the go back as well. They've got travel options, manscaped.com and the code Fightful. You're always going to find a great deal when you use that code at manscaped. Oh boy, not, not, not Drew bringing up Joe Pearl, smartly said on Twitter, Lance Archer is back. So there must be a battle of the belts coming up. Don't put that juju on me. We're not covering that. Well, don't you dare put that kind of juju on me. All right. I don't need to do a three hour show on a Saturday night. I'm not that much of a sicko. I think I'm going to be conveniently sick that a shock act asking, has anyone seen the first Beetlejuice movie? Only 900 times a hundred that movie that movie came out the year I was born. And next weekend sequel literally waited my entire life for it and not fricking wait. I'm going to go see that in Chicago ahead of all out. That's that's exactly what I'm going to be doing next weekend. Sounds like a good weekend for all right. So let's see. Where do we leave off? We left off with yes. We left off with top flight action and ready and Leo Rush in full flight attendance garb. Going up against Jack Jamison turbo Floyd and the iron savages. No surprise here. Top flight gets the win semi surprise turbo Floyd was older in South Dakota. They were cheering for that man who looked like a skinny 1980s Hulk Hogan tonight. The outrunners have our super over they scratch that eighties like yes. The only way I can describe it is they have the perfect book for Nick Nemeth's music currently. Like it's very eighties very it's very painful. The 80s it's so eighties um I okay. This was again a glorified enhancement match that being said I think there's a better way to put top flight over rather than having the their opponents look like complete dolts and I had to use don't because I don't think idiot is the right word. You tag me and me tag it. I think it did no one any favors there. It's my only critique of the whole show that in particular because making it look like these guys can't get along to win a common goal is a little bit silly don't you think and yeah that's just my two cents overall the match is good. Yeah no like I said like the this whole like first hour right and that that's my biggest complaint is we're coming off of a big pay-per-view you got another big pay-per-view week coming up and then how they set up this mat the the first hour was a trios match a trios match a tag team match and then an eight man tag team match and honestly like outside of the grizzled young vet showing up which hopefully sets up a tag team match for all out none of it had any stakes none of it really mattered none of it really advanced any kind of storylines whatsoever like you know it very minimal stuff that was that was done there. So again entering action great can't complain there I I would have liked I was hoping for maybe just a little bit more in the set up and the build to all out next weekend we did though get E.C.E. verse Kyle Fletcher tonight and yeah this that was this made me happy as a pig and you know what this was a slap fight from the get go we're getting fucked Don Calas Don Calas chance early on this match which again sent South Dakota good on you we get a wicked brain buster to E.C.E. on the apron Fletcher then shows off some impressive power he lifts E.C.E. up for a big power bomb yeah drop that man with authority into the bottom turn buckle with a long dart toss it took two tombstones but Fletcher finally put E.C.E. down this was my kind of jam man this was a great matchup E.C.E. no notes as always with that man with Tomahiro but Kyle Fletcher is so good he's going to be something really really special like he's already good this man's going to be special I will say that this match started off a little sluggish for me but I feel like that's the E.C.E. match he always starts off so but then they started just four arm in each other and that was I like a good meat potatoes there were no potatoes in this match it was all just meat you know what I mean just meat the onions though yeah onions and meat onions and liver onions and liver no no potatoes little meat I mean the raises as being countered into that top opera karana from E.C.E. was fantastic that was that is one of those things where it's like if you have a picture of that move right there mid move worth a million bucks Kyle Fletcher I'm so happy for him I want him and I think he will be but I want him low-key high-key to be the next who is someone who's good in the air but also on the ground all I thought is Will Ospre and I think that's what I thought you were saying yeah but that's where I thought you were going with because it's like I don't know what's going up like long term with the Don Callis family because you kind of had Will Ospre separate himself from the family now I mean I don't know what's going on with Takeshna honestly I don't hear you out in New Japan just beating people up but as far as like E.W. is concerned I don't know what's going on with Takeshna like that guy had all the momentum going on behind him and now it's just like gone bye bye but regardless Fletcher absolutely has a bright future we had a pack backstage and Kresta if you did not hear him correctly he said he is not content with getting his Wembley moment and winning the Trios championships he is still full of piss and vinegar he is tired of being overlooked he is overdue he is done waiting he understands contractual obligations he would fight Will Ospre for that international championship tonight but he will have to wait seven days in order to do it and he wants a little appetizer he wants a piece of the new international champion so he lays out a challenge for a Trios match Ospre and two friends against the Trios champs and we get Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly once again Kyle being the most unserious person on this entire show Mark Brisco being a reference character in this backstage segment they accept on behalf of the international champion and we got a fun little Trios match that has been set up for Wednesday on Dynamite I can't wait for that that sounds really fun but I'm still I still like the pack pool combat club but much like Eddie Kingston and Claudia Cassidy and Ollie Pack you hate that guy I know you even walked out on these guys one time so I can't wait to see how that turns out we have Boris asking Rick did you get that lucky red hat from from Phil no I've actually had this since college I got this at the University of Cincinnati when I was a student there good god way too frickin long ago now I thought that was a Chick-fil-A hat oh my god god damn no it's a sea paws instead of Bearcats good night thought I was wearing a Chick-fil-A hat I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I'm sorry you over here just let you get away with wearing a Chick-fil-A hat I would have questioned that immediately I wasn't sure I would have said something all flat I wasn't sure I'm sorry oh my lord oh my that was sports entertainment I don't know sports guys this show has gone off the rails you got pile driver saying when you're giving free clothes just take it that's the only way I'm sorry oh feeling drippy with the super check saying I'll be sad when he she stops being a regular on the AWW TV you you and me both now oh now it's a thing got Rick wearing a church's chicken hat damn it now I gotta make this thing now the next time I'm on this show it's gonna be a few weeks so I got a chance to go go shopping I'm gonna have to go get a Chick-fil-A hat now you should get an orange hat isn't that like a bingles thing and you can say just pop us what's our other sponsor tonight yeah sure is your new Choo main event performance main

bluechoo is here to do you don't have a problem to use bluechoo just get that additional performance bluechoo.com and the code Fightful that is a bold statement to say who wouldn't want to make their sex life better so I don't have one much of business how about that huh awkward transition time we had buddy Matthews going up against commander I thought buddy straight up killed this man on three different occasions that knee that he hit on the ring apron was loud with a capital L dude was just laying in the strikes tonight though commanders kept this one pretty competitive almost got the win with the tornado DDT Matthew's oh ends up prevailing with another big knee to the face and then hit that I don't know what he calls it but that that that swinging like a Tom not atomic drop but like some Owen dropped type move that he has right there chef's kiss no notes on that one Brody King comes out to celebrate at the end and then the segment of the night Preston like pure sex we get the we get the M&M boys coming out there they talk about major fashion week next week they're gonna make a statement they're they're gonna they issue a challenge to the house of black next week on Friday night's collision there's a they're gonna make them outdated like frosted tips speaking of frosted tips frost my tip right here Friday night fashion fight makes me mad we ain't doing a show too weak as far as I know as far as I know I don't know if we're doing one on Friday I'm gonna be in Chicago well and we'll let Sean figure that out but these these guys are so damn good at what they do one they know how to really wrestle and they know how to wrestle in character but they are highly entertaining and they are all in 100% committed to this gimmick and I cannot give them enough credit for taking this thing that they were saddled with and WWE that was dead in the water dead on arrival never was going to be successful never despite the best efforts of those who were involved they were never going to work with this when they were let go from WWE could have done literally anything that they wanted they decided to stick together they decided to lean into this gimmick and say if you we can make this work and they are doing it I need more of I need these boys to be staples on Saturday night staple I agree so I'm gonna start with the most mature part of this match cuz I'm ready to be so immature I'm ready to be so much because that Matthews catching commander by his neck twice I was right there with you Rick I'm like that man is dead commander he's dead like I would I watch T&A and I watch people die every week so yeah you're dead as well so that was a really good match Murphy's law thank you so much yeah the English that's what it was called yeah at one point when XMM XM because his name kicked my ass last week to yeah I'm calling him an M boys it's easier to say when they came out and they said we're gonna make you black and blue and that's outdated I laughed but hear me when I say we're gonna turn you into the house of black who approved that cuz it popped the boys in the back of me hahahaha I was watching a discord and all of us were like oh and then we all looked at each other like Spiderman hahahaha that was great that was great I did I honestly I don't want them to be a comedy act but I like this comedy act them versus the boys adults in castle versus the baby I just want to laugh I'm sports entertain yeah just just good shit how I who approved that cuz I laugh I don't know but I'm glad they did like that's one of the best things about this is like and look I'm a big WWE guy and I totally understand the family friendly PG thing sponsors corporate business that they they have to abide by so it's not a knock on them but I love that AEW is not limited in that fashion where they can really push the envelope and say some mature dirty shit every now and again and that was great it was 945 on a Saturday night by the time that that line was uttered I got no problems one I will also say there is a way to do it on WWE because I definitely saw the promo with the Usos versus a new day when I was like don't get triple X like your boy hahahaha there's there's ways to do it like Bugs Bunny used to do all these tongue in cheek jokes back it's possible but this was it good on Fox and that's why like man you can't do it all did you watch Bachelors Berlin because I saw the way Rhea Ripley pinned Liv Morgan let me say panic I was panicking I was shook panicking okay let's family friendly about that I was sweating I felt like SpongeBob I don't need it I do I was sweating from Rhea's entrance what are you talking about like everybody everybody in Berlin was thirsty all right that's all I'm gonna say just panic everyone just panics good way to do it you just have to you just there's ways to do it I don't know if WWE has the depth but on AEW you're right you could do it right here on the nose we got we got Kate infiltrating case those get get back back on cue you guys got 20 minutes less I don't think I'm gonna make it 20 minutes tonight we let's dive into the main event here resta this this was a this was a this this was a main event for us is what this was we had Serena Deeb Queen Amanata the Karashita and Thunder Rosa winner gets Mercedes Monet for the TBS championship at all out next Saturday we did skip over a backstage segment earlier on in the night by the way where we had Serena Deeb talking with Queen Amanata I love that all four of these women were getting like vignette packages throughout the night I just make it really making the main event feel like a big deal which it was going to feel like that anyway based off of the low stakes from everything else on this show tonight I've got really really leaning into it and and putting over the highlights and the accomplishments of every woman that was in this match I thought that was a really nice touch yeah it's Serena Deeb basically saying hey why don't you and I work together tonight you're young you're not ready for the spotlight tonight so why don't you help me tonight get to where I need to be and before you even answer just think it over and we see these two working together early on in the match up before of course Serena Deeb clotheslines the hell out of her later on but just a few highlights I mean Amanata hit a running knee on Sheida that was so hard that woman damn your fell out of the ring great recovery great recovery because that could have looked bad and she made it look absolutely badass there was a like I said at the top of the show I thought Thunder Rosa was on fire in this match she had this this great like counter where she it's not technically a dropkick not really a pump kick either but it's just laid in the double feet to to one gal and then was able to flip over and hit a backstabber I believe it was on Serena Deeb that she hit it on great great combo move um Queen Amanata hitting the yes kicks on Serena Deeb while Serena Deeb had a half boss and crab locked in and Deeb is just sitting there taking it like the badass that she is this match delivered on every note for me ultimately Sheida ends up getting the win with a wicked kick to the temple on Queen Amanata my only complaint Cresta and I'll let you run down all your notes my only complaint is we just got this match right like I'm not mad that we're gonna get a rematch but we just had Sheida versus Mercedes I was rooting for for Mercedes and Queen Amanata or Mercedes and Serena Deeb but uh I will take it and the we we will we will get a banger on Saturday and we will all be seated and we will all eat and we will all be happy yes this women's the this was the only women's match tonight and that's okay because a lot of ladies there's a lot of ladies peppered off this whole this whole show yes they were all working stiff I like you said the the hip attacks from Queen Amanata into the kicks for everyone in the corner you get a kick you get a kick fantastic I I personally would have liked to see Deeb versus Mercedes but that's just because I am a Serena Deeb fan I am a I think she deserves more than what she's got and I understand why she is but I just also understand that decision Deeb could be a good next up you give someone like Sheida the like like a really stiff match with Mercedes because that's what we're gonna get especially at all out and it's a draw whether you like Sheida or not because I know there's people who may not be as high on Sheida she's an amazing in ring performer and her versus Mercedes is gonna give a stiff match at a lot of people you had a stiff match with Baker but this is going to be a Joshi stiff match and there's a difference there is a difference it's like Perry Saturn in the early two thousands there's a difference baby so I understand I think Amanata I mean she don't even go here sorry you got ring on and stuff going on it sucks and the Thunder Rosa I think Rosa should take it off a Monet if when whenever that does happen it should be Rosa but Rosa gonna have to go to her Camille maybe a few other people but if anyone's gonna take it off a Monet I think it should be Thunder Rosa answering a shock who asked that question I have a one word answer Athena anyway I'll do you one better Mercedes wins the AEW Women's Champion than Athena okay yeah just give me just give me all the Athena like she has just I know she has been a great Ring of Honor Women's Champion I'm ready for her to drop the belt and move up to AEW TV full time like I I'd be on but I feel like she has to be at the I knew her in the main event only and she's proven that she can be in this she's a main event contender like don't don't piss your tongue you know Athena versus Mercedes main event all in Texas maybe by that point for the AEW Women's Championship who says no I ain't I'm not saying no but no all it will be around this time this year Mariah Mae could have dropped it she could drop it there but I don't know I I don't think quite very quite as yet maybe the middle or I don't know I'm not a bull here there's a lot that could happen in a year this this ain't this ain't WWE we ain't getting everybody year you year-long title runs oh thank god like I don't mind if it makes sense I'm here for it if it makes sense Roman Reigns after a while made sense Josh Alexander made sense but just to have it on someone kind of like the undertaker shoot oh nobody ever beat the undertaker maybe no one should beat the undertaker yeah that that's just the thing with me right now because I'm sitting here I'm like you got all these main event level guys and we can't we got two world titles and we can't get Kevin Owens one in seven years we can't get Kevin Owens one in seven years I know this is an AEW show and I rarely talk about WWE but Kevin Owens is fantastic and so is Sami Zayn and sometimes and I'll even throw I'll even go ahead and throw a Malachi black in there because I feel he falls into the same category at some point you gotta let these people know that they're appreciated and loved and that you care about them and there's no reason why that these guys who gee gee gee never get anything because that's how I also felt about judging the meddling in L.W.L. I don't want this to be a bachelors Berlin cover but I have gripes I have feet looks now just because they haven't won the world championship or at least in K.O.'s K.O.'s point a long time doesn't mean they get nothing this these are guys who main event at night one of WrestleMania two years two years ago Kevin Owens actually main evented back-to-back WrestleMania's got the Russell Stone Cold Steve Austin in the main event I'm so mad about the whole Kevin Nolan's thing because there was the first of them in the first title the Vince's Roman race they were fumbling with the with the handcuffs and he clearly won he clearly won he clearly won there and I never forgave y'all for that yeah I'm holding on to like an ex-girlfriend I never forgave y'all for that gonna be interesting to see what happens with him over the next six months I can't wait I saw somebody in chat say AEW my offer K.O. a buttload of money and I feel like wasn't he a part of like the original elite or whatever it was or crew a guy he's he's really good friends with the unbox that would be Kevin Owens in the elite Kevin Steve and I'm sorry it would be it would be Kevin Steve it would be like the worst corporate he'd be like that guy from Parks and Rec who hates everything and only eats the meat Ron yes yeah like you got a talk to Kevin first coming with a tie with that you don't even have a shirt on shut up but what do you want that would be that would be fantastic K.O. as a Ron a freak in the elite like I don't want to talk to the tag I want to beat them up yeah get away from our door this show has just gone up down all around everywhere apparently also brought to you in part by Chick-fil-A tonight Cresta what what do you got going on working people find her stuff collider cousins I
