AEW Dynamite #16

April 21, 2010

Location: The Grove of Anaheim in Anaheim, CA

Attendance: 700 (SELL OUT!)

TV Rating: 0.38 (--)

Match #1: Doug Williams/”The Rising Son” Okada vs. Jushin Thunder Liger/Sabu

Additional Information: Eric Young will be at ringside

Referee: Mark Johnson

Road Agent: Raven

Notes for match: These four men were given the mandate to go out there and work the crowd up, while also tightening the story heading into AEW Lockdown at the match between Sabu and Doug Williams for the AEW X-Division Championship.

Notes about the match: The focus of the match was Williams and Okada working the neck of Sabu when they were in charge of the match, while Sabu and Liger tried to fight back with some high risk spots (well more Sabu than Liger, although Liger can still move even at his age). The finish of the match saw Sabu going for the pin on Okada after connecting with an Arabian Press, but Eric Young had climbed up on the ring apron to distract referee Mark Johnson. Williams entered the ring and nailed Sabu in the back of the head with the X-Division Championship belt. This weakened the neck further, and allowed Okada to pick up the upset pin fall on Sabu after he connected with a German Suplex.

Result: In a decent match, "The Rising Son" Okada and Doug Williams defeated Sabu and Jushin Thunder Liger in 13:01 when "The Rising Son" Okada pinned Sabu with a German Suplex.

Grade: 69

Hype for the six man tag team match, specifically focused on AJ Styles getting his hands on Desmond Wolfe for the first time since his attack on Styles and Flair in the parking lot.

A segment with Taz where he explains using some photos what a torn bicep looks like, before he has Jerry Lynn join him with his arm in a sleeve and announcing that Lynn has a torn bicep after his match with Maritato and he will not be able to compete at AEW Lockdown in the #1 Contenders match for the AEW X-Division Championship.

Before the spotlight on Brutus Magnus, Mike Tenay will acknowledge his lack of success in getting through to Jeff Jarett, but promises he is not done yet. The spotlight will then focus on Brutus Magnus and his history in athletics (tennis and swimming), and his time as a Gladiator as Brutus Magnus promises to leave no one in his path as he vanquishes his opponents on his way to winning the AEW World Television Championship.

Match #2: Brutus Magnus vs. Jesse Neal

Additional Information: Spotlight Match

Referee: Mark Johnson

Road Agent: Scott D’Amore

Notes for match: Match should mostly just be a brawl as neither man is a superior technical athlete.

Notes about the match: This match was a big opportunity for Magnus to show what he could do on his own, and it went decent against an opponent like Neal. Things will get harder for him though as he faces D’Angelo Dinero in the first round of the AEW World Television Championship tournament.

Result: In a bout that didn't have much heat and terrible wrestling, Brutus Magnus defeated Jesse Neal in 7:48 by pinfall with a Twisting Samoan Drop.

Grade: 42

Match #3: Awesome Kong/Hamada/Sarita/Taylor Wilde vs. Melissa Anderson/The Beautiful People

Additional Information: Rhett Titus should be at ringside cheering on the heel team, but will get chased away when ‘Black Machismo’ comes running out after Titus has tried to interfere too many times.

Referee: Earl Hebner

Road Agent: Roddy Piper

Notes for match: This match will feature some eye candy, some story telling, and some preparation for the PPV.

Notes about the match: While not a fundamentally great match, there was still a lot that went into this match with Taylor Wilde trying to get some revenge when she was in the ring, but also having to deal with Titus on the outside. In the end Anderson and Sarita were left in the ring with each other, after Kong pulls Hamada to the back to keep her safe, and Anderson managed to get the victory before she gets her title shot at AEW Lockdown.

Result: In a poor match, Melissa Anderson, Madison Rayne and The Beautiful People II defeated Awesome Kong, Hamada and Taylor Wilde and Sarita in 10:35 when Melissa Anderson pinned Sarita with an Air Raid Crash.

Grade: 44

Backstage AJ Styles will have a cameraman with him when he apologizes to Ric Flair, who will try to brush it off, but Styles will insist that Flair comes to the ring with him again to help make sure something like that does not happen again.

That same cameraman will then catch Larry Sweeney giving Hamada the riot act for getting them involved with the Beautiful People and telling her that is the last time she interferes in someone else’s business “because next time Kong will not be there to back you up.”

Match #4: Jeremy Buck/Max Buck vs. Scott Steiner/Sean Waltman

Additional Information: If The Band wins, whomever gets the victory will be the third man in Lethal Lockdown 2.0 at AEW Lockdown

Referee: Brian Hebner

Road Agent: Ric Flair

Notes for match: Match should be close.

Notes about the match: The story of this match involved working over Jeremy Buck’s back, injured last week by RVD, and so it is no surprise that the finish of the match saw Scott Steiner get the victory with the Steiner Recliner.

Result: In a decent match, Sean Waltman and Scott Steiner defeated Generation Me in 8:24 when Scott Steiner submitted Jeremy Buck with a Steiner Recliner.

Grade: 70

After the math Kevin Nash and Scott Hall will join Waltman and Steiner in the ring, where Waltman will act like he is very disappointed he won’t be in the match, but then they will all start laughing. That will bring out Mick Foley and Sting who will talk about how The Band might be laughing now, but they will not be laughing at Lockdown. “You are a bunch of wrestling legends, and so are we, but we need a different sort of legend for a match like Lethal Lockdown. We need someone who isn’t afraid of pain, someone who doesn’t just love violence…..we need someone who….INNOVATES violence….our tag team partner….

….TOMMY DREAMER!!”

Spotlight video with Tenay and Colt Cabana, with Colt saying that its true that he likes to have fun, but he also knows how to be serious when he needs to be, and the opportunity to become AEW World Television Champion is something worth getting serious over!

Match #5: Colt Cabana vs. Michael Modest

Additional Information: Spotlight Match

Referee: Brandon Tolle

Road Agent: Court Bauer

Notes for match: These two should try and put some comedy into the match between them so that the fans can get an idea of what Colt Cabana can be about.

Notes about the match: The comedy elements of this match did not work and the fans did not like it, but at the end of the day Colt got the victory on his way to the tournament for the AEW World Television Championship.

Result: In a bout that had terrible wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Colt Cabana defeated Michael Modest in 8:24 by pinfall with a Colt .45.

Grade: 33

Roddy Piper will come out to the ring to soak in the fans adulation one more time, but as he is talking he will be interrupted by Mr. Anderson who will brag about ending Piper’s career. At that point Roddy will get “Rowdy” and poke Mr. Anderson in the eye before putting him down with a Sleeper. As Mr. Anderson is unconscious on his back all of a sudden Kurt Angle will coming out from the back yelling that he knows First Aid, and he will then proceed to start to check on Mr. Anderson……and will then start punching him in the face to wake him up! Paul Heyman will come out with security and EMT’s to get Angle off of him and force him to the back.

During the break Heyman will be yelling at Angle in the back, but Angle will hold up his "First Aid" training card and say he was just trying to help...and that is when Mr. Anderson will attack Angle from behind and the two will continue brawling while security has to break them up.

After Heyman is done dealing with Angle and Mr. Anderson in the back, he will be immediately confronted by Eric Young and Homicide with a demand that Homicide should take the place of Jerry Lynn in the match at AEW Lockdown with The Amazing Red and Consequences Creed. Heyman says he will talk with Red and Creed and if they are okay with it Homicide will be added.

Match #6: Abyss/Bison Smith vs. Bob Holly/Rhino

Additional Information: Hardcore Match

Referee: Brian Hebner

Road Agent: Brother Devon

Notes for match: Should be a hardcore brawl

Notes about the match: Bison Smith was another wrestler I wanted to get a closer look at while we were here in California and this seemed like an appropriate place to try him out. Unfortunately, in this match Rhino suffered an injury that looks like it might be serious and that slowed the match down a bit. The end saw Rhino and Abyss fighting (to hide the fact that Rhino was injured) which left Smith and Holly alone for the victory for Bob.

Result: In a decent match, Bob Holly and Rhino defeated Abyss and Bison Smith in 8:29 when Bob Holly pinned Bison Smith with an Alabama Slam.

Grade: 53

Backstage Generation Me will be getting looked after, especially Jeremy, when Shelley and Sabin will stop on the way to the ring to check on them. Max will get defensive and say it was too late, and Shelly will fire back they advised against the match but that Generation Me wasn’t listening. Finally Jeremy stopped the fighting and told the Guns to concentrate on their match and good luck against RVD and Booker T as they want another shot at the belts when that match is over.

Match #7: AJ Styles/The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Desmond Wolfe/RVD & T

Additional Information: Ric Flair at ringside

Referee: Brian Hebner

Road Agent: Hector Guerrero

Notes for match: Story telling is the important part of this match as it needs to hype up two PPV title matches.

Notes about the match: This was a great match as all six men went out there and put on a great performance with the action building as the match proceeded. Near the end of the match Desmond Wolfe left the ring to go after Ric Flair, which caused Styles to dive out of the ring and on to Wolfe and the two men fought to the back. In the ring that left the two tag teams facing off, and the end saw Booker T connect with the Axe Kick on Shelley to get the pin fall at the show came to a close.

Result: In a good match, Desmond Wolfe and Booker & RVD defeated AJ Styles and The Motor City Machine Guns in 17:07 when Booker T pinned Alex Shelley with an Axe Kick.

Grade: 77

Overall Show Grade: 71

AEW Xplosion #16 Quick Notes:

Recap of Main Event from AEW Dynamite

In a poor match, The Amazing Red and Consequences Creed defeated James Maritato and Kid Kash in 7:39 when Consequences Creed pinned Kid Kash with a TKO. (51)

AEW Lockdown

April 25, 2010

Location: Hard Rock Resort & Casino in Paradise, NV

Attendance: 3494

PPV Buyrate: 0.82 (412, 472 buys)

After the opening hype video goes through the main matches for the night, there will be an explanation of the Lethal Lockdown match. This match is inspired by the Cage of Death match that ended the CZW/ROH feud at Death Before Dishonor IV with a cage set up against the guard rails leaving space between the ring and the cage walls. Hanging on the walls are weapons (chairs, baseball bats, tables etc.) that can be used in the match. Two men will start, with an additional man being added every two minutes (with a coin flip deciding which team gets to send someone in first). Once all men are in the ring a finish can happen, with the winner being determined by submission or knockout.

-vs-

Match #1: Mick Foley/Sting/Tommy Dreamer vs. The Band (Kevin Nash/Scott Hall/Scott Steiner)

Additional Information: Lethal Lockdown 2.0

Referee: Brian Hebner

Road Agent: Paul Heyman

Notes for match: This match should create a lot of mayhem with weapons and craziness happening all over the ring and the area between the cage walls.

Notes about the match: Sting and Scott Hall started the match off with some basic wrestling without the weapons getting involved at that point. After a Stinger Splash Sting looked to have the advantage which worked out well as The Band had won the coin toss backstage and it was Scott Steiner who was the first entrant to join the match. He took his time entering the caged area, and then stopped to retrieve a pipe that had been hanging on the cage wall. The entire time Sting had his eyes on Steiner, with the quick glance behind every now and then, but in the end as Scott tried to climb up on the apron Scott Hall was able to attack Sting from behind. That gave time for Hall and Steiner to work over Sting before Tommy Dreamer was the next man to join the match. He did not come unprepared though as he brought a garbage can full of weapons with him to the match. Throwing the garbage can at Steiner and Hall, gave Dreamer the opportunity to get into the ring without taking a beating from the steel pipe as he went after both men with the garbage can lid. As Sting recovered the fight continued in and outside of the ring. Kevin Nash made his way out to join the fray and joined Hall and Sting in the ring while Dreamer and Steiner fought outside of the ring bouncing each other off of the cage walls. As Mick Foley joined the match, Steiner blocked him from entering the cage area by holding the door closed so Foley looked at the fans….and then started to climb the cage wall to loud cheers!

As Mick got to the top he was intercepted by Scott Steiner and the two exchanged punches, before Foley fired off some rapid fire blows that caused Steiner to drop down from the wall to the floor and allowed Mick to get over and get into the match officially! The fight continued from that point with Foley getting his hands on a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat which he used to hit Kevin Nash in the gut with, before holding it his hands and nailing Hall in the head with it. Tommy Dreamer set up a table outside of the ring, but when he tried to put Scott Steiner through it he was reversed into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex on the floor. The brawl continued wildly for a few minutes with Sting getting his hands on his own bat which he used to nail Nash in the leg with and set him up on the table outside, before attempting to hit Hall with a Stiner Splash while he was leaning against the cage wall. When Hall moved Sting crashed into the wall, and then Scott Hall punched at Sting a few times, before locking him in handcuffs attached to the wall. Foley was ready to jump off of the second turnbuckle to put Nash through the table with an Elbow, but Scott Steiner grabbed him to stop him. They fought before Steiner finally nailed Foley and sent him off the turnbuckle and through the table that Nash had existed. Now it was Nash who locked Foley to the wall with handcuffs. In the ring Tommy Dreamer was now fighting all alone, and that did not go well. Hall dropped Dreamer with a low blow before connecting with the Edge. Nash then picked Tommy up and dropped him with the Jackknife Powerbomb onto a chair that had been wrapped with barbed wire that Dreamer had brought into the ring. Finally Scott locked on the Steiner Recliner, making sure that Tommy was facing towards the locked up Foley and Sting who were forced to watch as Dreamer had to give up ending the match.

Result: In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, The Band (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Scott Steiner) defeated Mick Foley, Sting and Tommy Dreamer in a Lethal Lockdown 2.0 match in 12:28 when Scott Steiner submitted Tommy Dreamer with a Steiner Recliner.

Grade: 69

-vs-

Match #2: Consequences Creed vs. Homicide vs. The Amazing Red

Additional Information: Winner gets a shot at the AEW X-Division Championship at AEW Full Gear

Referee: Brandon Tolle

Road Agent: Scott D’Amore

Notes for match: High Spots, that’s all these men needed to hear.

Notes about the match: While three way matches tend to follow the same formula where one wrestler is knocked out, these men went out of their way to not work that formula. Instead we saw all three men just hitting move after move, with The Amazing Red and Creed spending most of the match working together. The end of the match saw Creed holding Homicide by the feet while he is on his back as The Amazing Red went to the top turnbuckle looking to hit a move from there. This did not work when Homicide kicked Consequences Creed into the ring ropes which caused The Amazing Red to drop down on the turnbuckle and then fall to the ring apron. From there Homicide tried to take the head of Creed off with two back to back Lariats, before connecting with Da Gringo Killa. Instead of going immediately for the pin though, Homicide stood up and gestured it was over….just as The Amazing Red came back into the ring with a Springboard Code Red which was enough to get the pin fall and give The Amazing Red the shot at the AEW X-Division Championship at AEW Full Gear.

Result: In a decent match, The Amazing Red defeated Homicide and Consequences Creed in 8:09 when The Amazing Red pinned Homicide with a Code Red.

Grade: 59

Mike Tenay will once again try to get a hold of Jeff Jarrett, this time by calling Karen Angle to wish her congratulations on her recent engagement to Jeff Jarrett. When Karen asks if Mike wants to talk to Jeff he says of course, but when Jeff finds out who is on the phone he will hang up.

AEW World Tag Team Championship

-vs-

Match #3: AEW World Tag Team Championship: The Motor City Machine Guns © vs. RVD & T

Referee: Mark Johnson

Road Agent: Hector Guerrero

Notes for match: The two teams should work the crowd by focusing on slowing things down a bit and focusing on their in ring stuff.

Notes about the match: This match was the first match of the evening to slow things down, but it seemed to really work for the fans who are still getting used to the idea of booing Rob Van Dam. He really dialed the cockiness up for this match and as RVD and Booker T isolated Chris Sabin it seemed to amp up the anger amongst the fans. Things change when RVD went to hit the Five Star Frog Splash, just to have Sabin roll out of the way. RVD managed to change his momentum and rolled up to his feet….right into a Monkeyflip from Alex Shelley who entered the ring. RVD flipped over and landed on his feet, but then immediately went down clutching his ankle and rolled out of the ring holding that. While he was being looked over Booker T was left by himself against the Guns who were able to overwhelm the former five time World Champion and get the victory after they connected with Made in Detroit.

Result: In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Booker & RVD in 12:37 when Alex Shelley pinned Booker T with a Made in Detroit. The Motor City Machine Guns make defence number six of the AEW World Tag Team titles.

Grade: 68

-vs-

Match #4: ‘Black Machismo’ Jay Lethal vs. Rhett Titus

Referee: Mark Johnson

Road Agent: Ric Flair

Notes for match: These two were told to go out there and have a bit more of a comedic match between the two of them to settle the fans down a bit.

Notes about the match: Good comedy matches are hard to pull off, but I thought that these two men did alright for themselves in front of fans who did not care as much as we might have hoped. Most of the comedy came at the expense of Rhett Titus who was willing to go out there and “show ass” both figuratively, and at one point literally. The end saw Titus on the top turnbuckle swivelling his hips when Lethal tripped him up causing him to fall on the top rope in a straddling position. Titus immediately acted like his groin was wrecked, as he Lethal bounced him up and down on the top rope until Rhett flew off and landed on his back still holding himself gingerly. It was in that position that Rhett fell victim to the top rope Elbow Drop and the three-count loss.

Result: In a bout that didn't have much heat and terrible wrestling, 'Black Machismo' Jay Lethal defeated Rhett Titus in 7:57 by pinfall with an Elbow Drop.

Grade: 39

After the match Rhett Titus will roll out of the ring holding his inner thigh in pain, and will be flocked by all three members of the Beautiful People who will walk him to the back. Melissa Anderson will be on her way to the ring for her match and will stop to check on Rhett who will wave her off saying he will be okay “just go and win the belt.”

AEW Womens Championship

-vs-

Match #5: AEW Womens Championship: Hamada © vs. Melissa Anderson

Referee: Traci Brooks

Road Agent: Brother Ray

Notes about the match: This was more physical of a match than might be expected, but this is what two competitors can do when given the opportunity to be more than eye candy. Hamada thought she had the win after she connected with her Quebrada, but Anderson kicked out of that at two. Next up was Melissa thinking she had sealed the victory with an Air Raid Crash, but Hamada kicked out at 2.9. As Melissa argued with referee Traci Brooks over the count it allowed Hamada enough time to recover and picked Melissa up, only to have Melissa reverse of that……for Hamada to reverse for a third time and finish the match with the Hamada Driver!

Result: In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Hamada defeated Melissa Anderson in 10:27 by pinfall with a Sitout Scoop Slam Driver. Hamada makes defence number four of the AEW Womens title.

Grade: 51

-vs-

Match #6: Abyss vs. Bob Holly

Additional Information: Falls Count Anywhere

Referee: Traci Brooks

Road Agent: Ric Flair

Notes for match: These two were told to go out there and have a wild brawl throughout the arena, with Ric Flair being asked to work with them to try and incorporate some psychology in the match.

Notes about the match: The match started in the ring with weapons quickly becoming involved, but when Abyss grabbed his bag of thumbtacks, Bob Holly rolled out of the ring and said he wasn’t getting paid enough. That brought Dr. Stevie out to yell at him, but it didn’t matter as Abyss attacked Holly from behind and the fight continued through the crowd and to the backstage area. Back there Rhino got involved , but when he went to hit Abyss with a Gore, Abyss dodged and Rhino drove Bob Holly through a door into an office set up backstage. Abyss followed the two men into the office, and then Holly came flying through a glass window back out of the office. Rhino was dragged out from the office by Abyss and dropped with a Black Hole Slam on the ground. Holly was bleeding from the arm, and fell victim to a Choke Slam through a table that was enough to give Abyss the victory!

Result: In a decent match, Abyss defeated Bob Holly in 14:25 by pinfall with a Choke Slam. During the match we also had Rhino run in and attack Abyss.

Grade: 64

AEW X-Division Championship

-vs-

Match #7: AEW X-Division Championship: Doug Williams © vs. Sabu

Referee: Brian Hebner

Road Agent: Roddy Piper

Notes for match: Roddy Piper was brough in to try his hand at being a road agent with the wrestlers being given the note to steal the show.

Notes about the match: The fans did not know that this was going to be the final match for Sabu in AEW, at least for the immediately future, and so we wanted him to go out with a decent showing. Perhaps that was what inspired him to have one of his best matches of the year thus far. Most importantly, the story of the match was focused on Doug Williams showing a more aggressive technical side. Focusing on the neck of Sabu, based on his history of neck problems, Williams wore him down before connecting with an (intentionally) high Chaos Theory German Suplex that made it look like Sabu landed hard on his neck which was enough for Williams to pick up the win to retain the AEW X-Division Championship.

Result: In a decent match, Doug Williams defeated Sabu in 12:45 by pinfall with a Chaos Theory. Doug Williams makes defence number two of the AEW X-Division title.

Grade: 63

After the match Doug Williams will continue the assault on the neck of Sabu, including dropping a knee from the second rope right to the neck. Even after security pushes Williams off, he comes back and kicks Sabu in the head as he his trying to climb to his -vfeet.

-vs-

Match #8: Christopher Daniels vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Samoa Joe

Referee: Earl Hebner

Road Agent: Court Bauer

Notes for match: This match should have a focus all about the story being told between the three men.

Notes about the match: It was very clear from the beginning that Samoa Joe did not trust either of the men in this match, but that didn’t stop Kazarian from attacking Daniels to start the match and trying to get some pin falls attempts on him. After a series of the three men attacking each other, Daniels pushed Kazarian into the head of Samoa Joe in an awkward moment. Even more awkward is when Kazarian stumbled around, Daniels picked him up for the Angel’s Wings and immediately after Kazarian connected with the mat he rolled out of the ring. There was a moment of confusion before Daniels attacked Samoa Joe, while medic’s came out from the back to try and check on Kazarian. It looked like Joe was going to win the match as he set Daniels up for the Muscle Buster….which is when Kazarian slid back into the ring and clipped the knee of Joe. A Wave of the Future dropped Joe, and Daniels managed to switch position on the turnbuckle to connect with the Best Moonsault Ever! With Daniels on top of Joe, Kazarian added his weight to Daniels back which was enough for the victory! Immediately afterwards Kazarian and Daniels celebrated together proving Joe right all along!

Result: In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Christopher Daniels defeated Samoa Joe and Frankie Kazarian in 18:05 when Christopher Daniels pinned Frankie Kazarian with the Best Moonsault Ever. During the match we also had Frankie Kazarian turn on Joe.

Grade: 74

Recap of the feud between Kurt Angle and Mr. Anderson.

-vs-

Match #9: Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Anderson

Referee: Brian Hebner

Road Agent: Ric Flair

Notes for match: Commentary should make mention of the rules being somewhat relaxed for this one as Paul Heyman decreed there should be a winner to hopefully end this feud.

Notes about the match: Immediately Kurt Angle went after Mr. Anderson, and so Brian Hebner had to get between Angle and Anderson. Mr. Anderson used that to attack Angle while Hebner had him restrained like he was some sort of….well…a##hole. Anytime that Angle would use his wrestling talent to take over, Anderson would head outside of the ring where he would take advantage of the outside by throwing Angle into steps and the guard rail. Finally, Angle did manage to reverse the momentum as he grabbed Mr. Anderson by the head and smashed it into the commentary table a few times, before tossing him back into the ring. In the ring Kurt connected with five German Suplexes in a row, before lowing his straps and going for the Angle Slam. As Angle picked Mr. Anderson up the feet of Anderson made contact with Brian Hebner dropping the referee to the mat though! At first Angle went for the pin fall, but when he didn’t hear counting he realized that Hebner was out. Moving quickly to try and revive Hebner, Angle left himself vulnerable for the low blow from Anderson. That turned into a Mic Check and this time Hebner was able to make a count. But very slow, and Kurt managed to kick out at two. Frustrated, Mr. Anderson pulled Kurt to his feet and dropped him back onto Hebner with a Suplex. Dragging the Olympic Gold Medalist outside, Mr. Anderson looked towards the fan….and then dropped Angle with a Mic Check on the floor!

Result: In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Mr. Anderson defeated Kurt Angle in 17:42 by pinfall after a Mic Check on the concrete.

Grade: 67

After the match Kurt Angle will be taken out on a stretcher with his neck in a collar, but as he gets taken to the back he does manage to get his arm up in the air.

As a breather after that Roddy Piper will come out and host a Piper’s Pit in the ring with his guest being Eric Young and “The Rising Son” Okada with Piper talking about what a bright future Okada will have if he gets rid of the baggage that is Young. That leads to a verbal confrontation that results in Okada attacking Piper, but that brings out Rob Terry and Tomko for the save.

A recap of what has brought us to the Main Event focusing on Wolfe’s feuds with Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy, the history of AJ Styles, and then the attack on Flair after Styles and Ric had their argument.

AEW World Championship

-vs-

Match #10: AEW World Championship: AJ Styles© vs. Desmond Wolfe

Additional Information: Classic Steel Cage

Referee: Earl Hebner

Road Agent: Paul Heyman

Notes for match: During the match it should be announced that Paul Heyman will have a special live announcement at 7EST the next day on the AEW website.

Notes about the match: With the Champion coming out last, the match began quickly as AJ Styles threw the belt to Earl Hebner and then entered the ring by the door by hitting a Flying Forearm! With Wolfe on his back AJ continued to punch away and the bell rang as the match was on. The abrupt beginning to the match allowed AJ to keep the early advantage, while Ric Flair cheered him on from the outside. Immediately Styles was all about throwing Wolfe head first into the steel cage walls, until Desmond managed to counter with a low blow and attempted to quickly scale the wall to escape. AJ managed to block him, and that was the story of the majority of the match with Wolfe trying to escape whenever he could but the AEW World Champion stopping him at every opportunity. The most impressive moment of the match came with Wolfe about to climb down the outside of the wall when Styles stopped him, and brought him back over the wall and both dropped to the mat with a Superplex from the top of the cage!! Slowly Styles started to crawl towards the cage door, but Flair stopped him and wouldn’t let him climb out yelling for Styles to go for the pin. Confused, Styles turned around and dropped down and pined Wolfe for a two count! Outside Flair was flipping out, but yelling for Styles to beat him up some more!

Looking to do as much damage as possible, Styles locked on a Figure Four Leg-lock and had Wolfe screaming, but the challenge did not submit. Using the ropes for leverage Styles really locked the hold in, but Flair was yelling at Styles to go up. Breaking the hold Styles looked at Flair, before seeing he was pointing to the top of the cage. Slowly the Champion climbed to the top of the cage, and turned around with the fans cheering…and went for a Frog Splash! Only Desmond moved out of the way and Styles crashed to the mat! With both men down, it was Desmond Wolfe who was slowly inching towards the door. As he started to pull himself through the door…STYLES LEPT AND GRABBED HIM BY THE FOOT. Mustering as much energy as possible Styles pulled Desmond back into the ring, but Desmond flipped on his back and kicked Styles before and quickly tried to go for the door again. Once again Styles blocked that and pulled Desmond back into the ring and connected with the Discus Clothesline! Going to the top turnbuckle it looked like Styles might be able to connect with the Spiral Tap…but Desmond managed to recover enough to shove referee Earl Hebner into the ropes to drop Styles across the top turnbuckle. From there Desmond set up for the Tower of London. Now it was the Champion who desperately fought back and actually managed to reverse and pull Wolfe back towards the turnbuckles. Pulling Wolfe up….AJ STYLES CONNECTED WITH THE STYLES CLASH OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Both men were completely done, but Styles managed to recover first and flip Desmond over. But he was too worn out to go for the pin, so Ric Flair opened the door and was yelling for him desperately. Dazed and confused, Styles slowly started to make his way towards the front door.

Except Flair slammed the door on his head!! Not once, but TWICE!! Styles started to stumble backwards, right into Wolfe who pulled him in for a pin fall….ONE….TWO….T...STYLES KICKED OUT! Outside the ring Flair was not pacing back and forth throwing his jacket off, before yelling at Wolfe to get out of the ring. With Styles down, Wolfe did just that and as he exited the ring, Flair quickly grabbed the AEW World Championship belt and celebrated with Wolfe, while Flair was being helped to his feet and staring them down in disbelief as the show went off the air.

Result: In a good match, Desmond Wolfe defeated AJ Styles in a Cage match in 20:27 by escaping the cage. During the match we also had Ric Flair turn on Styles. Desmond Wolfe becomes the NEW AEW World title.

“My name is Paul Heyman and I am the Executive Director for AEW Wrestling, and this lovely trophy right here….”

“….is the AEW Full Gear Cup, which will be awarded to the tag team that wins the Full Gear Tag Team Invitational on May, 30, 2010 at AEW Full Gear. This special tournament will feature 17 teams competing from all around the world. Not only will the winning team be crowned the winners when they receive this prestigious trophy, but they will also be given a cheque for $100, 000 and will receive a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Champions on June 26 at AEW Slammiversary in Detroit, Michigan! As for the 17 teams who have entered they tournament, in alphabetical order, representing Japan and New Japan Pro-Wrestling…..” (brief clips will play of the teams in action as Heyman narrates)

…the tag team of Bad Intentions, Giant Bernard and ‘Machine Gun’ Karl Anderson….

…former THREE time AEW World Tag Team Champions, Beer Money…

….the recently formed and dastardly tag team of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian….

….a couple of dirty rednecks, Cody Deaner and Matt Bentley…

…I’m not sure if they are representing Mexico or Japan, but they are certainly representing masked wrestlers everywhere, the tag team of El Masked Ronin…El Vagabundo and Jushin…Thunder….Liger….

….one of the best young tag teams in the world, the Buck’s….Generation Me….

…from young to two wily veterans, the grizzled tag team of James Maritato and Kid Kash…

…representing Mexico, AAA, and masked legacy…the tag team of La Parka (Jr) and Octagón…

…another team that was entered due to being former AEW World Tag Team Champions….’Black Machismo’ and Consequences Creed…

….a team made up of two Legends, if they can make it after the brutal Lethal Lockdown match…it will be Mick Foley teaming with….Sting…

…after what happened at AEW Lockdown Samoa Joe asked to enter the tournament to potentially get some revenge and that request has been approved…..as long as he can find a partner who will agree to team with him….

….one of the greatest tag teams of all time, having won belts in every major wrestling company in the world…Team 3D….

….another great tag team, and one of two tag teams representing The Band, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall….

…and the other tag team representing The Band, who were allowed to enter two tag teams in the tournament after their Lethal Lockdown victory, Scott Steiner and Sean Waltman….

..former tag team Champions, representing the UK, The British Invasion with Brutus Magnus and the AEW X-Division Champion Doug Williams….

…the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions, the Motor City Machine Guns…Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin…..

…and finally, representing the World Elite, Eric Young and “The Rising Son” Okada!”

“Now all of these names have been put in these little balls and put into this roller behind me (here Paul turns around and the three ladies from The Beautiful People are scantily clad and hanging out by the roller), and we are going to draw seven teams at random who will receive automatic byes into the quarter finals of the Full Gear Tag Team Invitational. The first team who will receive an automatic bye…..

….Samoa Joe and his mystery tag team partner. Next Wednesday on Dynamite they will face in the quarter finals, the tag team of…..Maritato and Kid Kash!”

“Up Next the third team in the quarter finals…..Beer Money…and they will face…..Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, what a Main Event that will be!”

“The winner of that match will face the winner of a match between all time greats Team 3D….and…..Bad Intentions! That match could be hard hitting!”

“Finally, the seventh team to go directly into the quarter finals…..Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian! And they will face the winner of the Tag Team Battle Royale that will be the Main Event of AEW Dynamite on Wednesday Night. The rules of this ten team, 20 men battle royale, will be the standard over the top rules. A team will be eliminated when both men from that team have been thrown over the top. We look forward to you joining us….”

“…actually, I just had a thought. Noticing that the AEW World Tag Team Champions are in this match……I’m going to up the ante a little bit. If any team is able to eliminate the Guns, that team will receive a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship prior to AEW Full Gear. There is a lot on the line this Wednesday Night!”

AEW Dynamite #17

April 28, 2010

Location: Wildcat Arena at Weber State University in Ogden, UT

Attendance: 997

TV Rating: 0.48 (+0.10)

Match #1: Chimaera vs. Super Crazy

Referee: Traci Brooks

Road Agent: Raven

Notes for match: As these two were known for being high flyers, they were told to go out there and throw around high spots for this match.

Notes about the match: Even though this was a short match, it still did not click the way that I had hoped with a few missed spots taking the crowd out of it. While the match was mostly just a way for Super Crazy to get a victory after losing so many matches, I’m not sure how much this match helped him out in front of the fans.

Result: In a bout that didn't have much heat and terrible wrestling, Super Crazy defeated Chimaera in 6:23 by pinfall.

Grade: 40

An edited version of Paul Heyman announcing the Full Gear Cup and the Battle Royale for the evening, before transitioning into a recap video of Abyss victory at AEW Lockdown and the news that Rhino and Holly were both injured after the match, but that Abyss would be on next weeks AEW Dynamite looking for Dr. Stevie no doubt.

A spotlight video segment aired on Tomko with a lot of talk about his time as a bodyguard with Limp Bizkit coming up, and how Tomko couldn’t wait to get his hands on Eric Young in the first round of the AEW World Television Championship Tournament.

Match #2: Tomko vs. Tyler Bateman

Additional Information: Spotlight Match

Referee: Brandon Tolle

Road Agent: Scott D’Amore

Notes for match: Both men are known for their brawling, so they were told to go out there and fight as opposed to put on a wrestling match.

Notes about the match: While the fans were not as into this match due to Bateman, being relatively unknown, I personally enjoyed the physical action they put on. They gave the commentators a scare when the fight ended up in front of their desk, before it ended back in the ring where Tomko got the big victory on the way to his match against Eric Young in the Quarter Finals of the AEW World Television Tournament.

Result: In a bout that didn't have much heat and terrible wrestling, Tomko defeated Tyler Bateman in 8:21 by pinfall with a Running Big Boot.

Grade: 40

Recap of the Kurt Angle injury at AEW Lockdown with doctors talking about how Angle’s career may be in jeopardy after taking more injury to the neck.

Match #3: Mr. Anderson vs. Willie Mack

Referee: Mark Johnson

Road Agent: Court Bauer

Notes about the match: Now this is what I’m talking about! While Anderson is still very much the @sshole persona, the fans are starting to react to him and were playing along with him in this match as he beat on Mack.

Result: In a decent match, Mr. Anderson defeated Willie Mack in 7:44 by pinfall with a Mic Check.

Grade: 63

After the match Mr. Anderson will get on the microphone and said that he wanted a shot at the AEW World Championship.

Match #4: Hamada/Sarita/Taylor Wilde vs. The Beautiful People

Additional Information: If anyone but Hamada wins, they will receive a title shot next week at the AEW Womens Championship. If Hamada wins she will get to pick her opponent.

Referee: Brian Hebner

Road Agent: Scott D’Amore

Notes for match: While this match may seem like it is just here for eye candy, that does not mean that the competitors should not try and put on a good match.

Notes about the match: The team of Hamada, Sarita and Wilde dominated most of the match, but it was the distraction from Rhett Titus that set Taylor Wilde up to be pinned by Velvet Sky, which earned Velvet Sky a shot at Hamada next week for the AEW Womens Championship.

Result: In a poor match, The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky, Lacey Von Erich and Madison Rayne) defeated Hamada and Taylor Wilde and Sarita in 12:16 when Velvet Sky pinned Taylor Wilde with a Double Knee Backbreaker after a distraction from Rhett Titus.

Grade: 42

After the match Melissa Anderson will join The Beautiful People in the ring for a beatdown, but everyone will leave the ring when Awesome Kong comes out. Kong will glare down at Hamada who is trying to get up, will not help her up, and will leave the ring.

Spotlight video with Mike Tenay and Seth Rollins with a wink and a nod to another famous wrestler as Seth Rollins talks about being straight edge in high school, and how he was big into music and working out in preparation for becoming the best wrestler in the world.

Match #5: Daniel Puder vs. Tyler Black

Additional Information: Spotlight Match

Referee: Brandon Tolle

Road Agent: Brother Ray

Notes about the match: Daniel Puder received the expected boos as he made his way out to the ring, while Black got a much better response from the fans. I thought they put on a good match with Puder trying to outwrestle Tyler Black, only to see Black finish it off with a combination of a Superkick followed by God’s Last Gift.

Result: In a poor match, Tyler Black defeated Daniel Puder in 7:32 by pinfall with a God's Last Gift.

Grade: 49

Beer Money are given a chance to talk about how much they want to win the AEW Full Gear Cup after what has been a down year thus far, and they will be interrupted by RVD and Booker T who mock them a bit, and Beer Money turns it around and asks why they aren’t even in the AEW Full Gear Cup which gets RVD heated as he suffered an ankle injury at AEW Lockdown. Beer Money will blow them off as the segment comes to an end.

The World Elite will be gathered with Eric Young talking about how soon one of the two tag teams in the World Elite will win the Battle Royale, and then the Full Gear Cup, and the AEW World Television Championship and from there the World title etc.

Jeremy Borash interviews Samoa Joe who admits he was not surprised that Kazarian turned on him, but he was not going to wait to get his hands on them again and so he found a tag team partner to get into the Full Gear Cup Tournament with the hopes of getting the opportunity to eliminate them from the tournament….or at the very least to hurt them.

Match #6: El Hijo de Rey Misterio/Shiima Xion vs. James Maritato/Kid Kash

Referee: Earl Hebner

Road Agent: Jerry Lynn

Notes for match: These two teams were given permission to go out and give their best on the way to stealing the show.

Notes about the match: This match was mostly here as a spotlight for Maritato and Kash prior to their match in the AEW Full Gear Cup next week against Samoa Joe and his mystery partner. It did just that as Maritato and Kash worked over their young opponents before getting the victory.

Result: In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Kid Kash and James Maritato defeated El Hijo de Rey Misterio and Shiima Xion in 8:22 when Kid Kash pinned Shiima Xion with a Moonsault.

Grade: 43

The Band spoke about the Lethal Lockdown match, with Scott Steiner in particular needing to be restrained as he went off about how he is a superior athlete and he was furious about needing to participate in a garbage match like that. Waltman pointed out that it wouldn’t matter after tonight because they were going to win the Battle Royale and it would be an all Band Finale at Full Gear. They also got in some shots at Foley and Sting who were also scheduled to be in the Battle Royale tonight but stood no chance after the beating they took at AEW Lockdown.

With a new AEW World Champion, came a Championship celebration with Ric Flair coming out first to loud boos. Flair will get on the microphone and talk about how he was the greatest wrestler of all time, listing his Championship accomplishments, and how he had been willing to share some of his knowledge with AJ Styles and that little punk never gave him any respect. Enter Desmond Wolfe who recognized the greatness of the Nature Boy and how he is the Champion, which would be the line to bring Wolfe out. Wolfe will talk about how he saw how Styles treated and spoke to Flair and it made him sick, legends should be treated with respect (boos from the crowd), and that would soon include Wolfe as he was going to become the greatest AEW World Champion ever….at which point he will be interrupted by Diamond Dallas Page who will come out and talk about how great Champions (namedropping men like Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles) don’t need someone to help them win the belt and DDP was sickened by Flair’s actions. This will lead to Wolfe saying that he had been told he needed to find an opponent for his first AEW World Title defense the next week….and DDP had just got himself that shot, and Wolfe was going to make him eat his words!

Match #7: AEW Full Gear Cup Final Chance Battle Royale

Additional Information: Tag Teams in the match:

Referee: Traci Brooks

Road Agent: Paul Heyman

Eliminations:

-the first elimination of the match would end up being the only singles Champion in the match, Douglas Williams! He had singled in on Consequences Creed, and went to go for Chaos Theory, but Creed managed to grab the top turnbuckle to stop his momentum. That caused Williams to be off balance, and Creed staggered him with a series of punches that he calls MontiFisto before tossing him over the top rope to eliminate Williams.

-throughout the early part of the match Deaner, Bentley, El Vagabundo and Jushin Liger tried to finish their business. This led to Liger and Vagabundo eliminating Cody Deaner and putting Matt Bentley on his back.

-the next elimination would start a trend for the evening as El Vagabundo went to jump to the top rope to hit a Moonsault on Bentley, but Scott Steiner instead casually came from behind and gave him a push sending El Vagabundo tumbling to the floor and out of the match.

-Immediately Liger went after Steiner to try and eliminate him, but Bentley recovered and attacked Liger from behind. That allowed Scott to send Liger out of the match with an Overhead Suplex…and the he nailed Bentley with a Steinerline just ‘cause. This eliminated the tag team of El Masked Ronin

-Eric Young was ordering the rest of The World Elite around which was leading to a three on two beatdown on Creed and ‘Black Machismo’ until Machismo managed to fight back and take all three members of the World Elite down. He went to the top and dropped an Elbow on Brutus Magnus, and then another on Okada…but as he went to drop one on Eric Young…Steiner shook the ropes and dropped ‘Black Machismo’ to the top turnbuckle, and then he pushed him off the rope and out of the match.

-While Creed could not save his tag team partner, he did manage to take some advantage by picking Magnus up and tossing him over the top rope to eliminate British Invasion from the match

-Chris Sabin and Matt Bentley ended up on the ring apron and were exchanging chops, which Sabin managed to finally win, and he dropped Bentley off of the ring apron eliminating the team of Bentley and Deaner from the AEW Full Gear Cup tournament.

-As Sabin turned around to get back into the ring….he was nailed by a Double Superkick from Generation Me and eliminated from the match!

-Sabin was on the outside and the Buck Brothers were talking with him saying it was nothing “personal,” and then turned around….just to have Alex Shelley eliminate them both with a Double Clothesline over the rope, eliminating Generation Me from the match and tournament!

-Outside the ring Generation Me made up with Chris Sabin and then offered handshakes to Alex Shelley. Shelly reluctantly made the handshake…but that left him vulnerable for elimination as Octagón picked him up and sent him over the ropes! The Motor City Machine Guns were eliminated from the AEW Full Gear Cup!

-Eric Young and Okada were double teaming La Parka Jr, when Young told Okada to hold La Parka Jr on his feet. Young went to go and nail La Parka Jr., but instead he nailed Okada and sent him over the ropes and out of the match!

-Young was so stunned that Creed was able to come up from behind and eliminate him from the match, the World Elite were all done!

-Mick Foley and Sting had been out of the action for most of the match, selling their injuries, but did occasionally get shots in on Steiner and Waltman. They were working Waltman over, when La Parka Jr. saw an opportunity to help out and went to the top rope….just to have Steiner push him off and out of the match!

-At this point Homicide surprised everyone by attacking Creed! They fought out of the ring which resulted in Creed being eliminated, meaning no chance for former Champions Creed and ‘Black Machismo’!

-While the referee’s tried to break up that fight, Foley connected with his Cactus Clothesline on Sean Waltman! Foley thought he had managed to eliminate Waltman, but the referee’s turned around after Waltman had rolled back into the ring. As Foley tried to get back into the ring they restrained him and pointed to the floor telling him that he was eliminated!

-Waltman and Steiner worked over both Sting and Octagón, before finally Steiner picked Octagón up and launched him over the top rope with a Press Slam! Octagón and La Parka Jr. were eliminated….but they would be getting a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships!

-With Sting as the mercy of Steiner, Waltman went to the top turnbuckle….just to have Sting sent Steiner into the corner knocking Waltman from the top rope and out of the match!

-Down to just Sting and Steiner, it looked like it was over with Steiner locking on the Steiner Recliner! That was until Tommy Dreamer made an appearance. Steiner broke the hold to go and yell at Dreamer, which allowed Foley to slide a baseball bat to Sting! Steiner turned around and Sting nailed him with the bat in the midsection, before using the bat as a Clothesline to send Steiner out of the match! The Band was eliminated! Sting and Mick Foley were the final entrants who would compete for the AEW Full Gear Cup!

Result: In a decent match, Sting won a battle royal in 16:47. The other members of the 'final four' were Scott Steiner, Sean Waltman and Octagón, with Scott Steiner being the final elimination. Scott Steiner got the most eliminations over the course of the match. During the match we also had Homicide run in and attack Creed.

Rememberin' Rasslin' Round the World: April 2010

A quieter month than we have seen this year, the highlights included some wrestler signings as TAKA Michinoku has signed to be exclusive to AJPW and NJPW responded by....well, they brought in a new young worker by the name of King Fale. What is it with wrestlers from Tonga and wanting to be king? In WWE a couple of extensions will bolster their weakened Diva's division when they extended Nikki Bella and Rosa Mendes. That should definitely make up for the loss they experienced. Speaking of departures, AEW saw two of their experienced road agents finish up their lengthy relationship with the company as both Pat Kenney and Terry Taylor were allowed to walk. Simon Says, it's time for someone to become the cock of the walk somewhere else. Finally, two wrestling legends have made it known they will be finishing up their in ring career as both Joanie Lauer (the former Chyna) and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper have admitted it is time. While both may have done somethings in the last few years to make people shake their heads, both were groundbreakers in their era and are deserving of accolades for that.

AEW Dynamite #18

May 5, 2010

Location: Coeur d’Alene Casino in Worley, ID

Attendance: 842

TV Rating: 0.51 (+0.03)

Match #1: Brutus Magnus/Eric Young/Steve Corino/Tyler Black vs. Colt Cabana/D’Angelo Dinero/Shawn Spears/Tomko

Additional Information: Spotlight Match

Referee: Earl Hebner

Road Agent: Brother Devon

Notes for match: These eight men were allowed to get one final spotlight match in against each other in this tag team match prior to the Tournament beginning next week to crown the AEW World Television Champion.

Notes about the match: All these wrestlers had an opportunity to get some action in the ring, before the end of the match saw a bunch of finishers and everything breaking down before “Old School” Steve Corino ended the match with an old fashioned Japanese style Lariat to put Shawn Spears down for the three count.

Result: In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Eric Young, Brutus Magnus, Tyler Black and Steve Corino defeated D'Angelo Dinero, Tomko, Colt Cabana and Shawn Spears in 16:13 when Steve Corino pinned Shawn Spears with a Lariat.

Grade: 56

Mauro and Callis should hype the Main Event AEW World Championship match between Desmond Wolfe and DDP, pointing out this may the final chance that DDP gets at becoming a World Champion. They will also announce that next week the AEW World Tag Team Championship will be on the line when the Motor City Machine Guns face off against the AAA team of La Parka Jr and Octagón, as well as Tommy Dreamer will be in a singles action!

Match #2: Abyss vs. Danny Doring

Additional Information: Hardcore Match

Referee: Mark Johnson

Road Agent: Jerry Lynn

Notes for match: Abyss should come to the match carrying a big bag with something inside of it.

Notes about the match: Doring was someone who I felt was a bit underrated, and I was hoping he would prove me right tonight, but it appears that the ship may have sailed on him as he just didn’t seem to put much work in there tonight. Abyss was still selling his fight from AEW Lockdown and so Doring had the opportunity to get some shine, but in the end Abyss ended the match with a Choke Slam through a table.

Result: In a poor match, Abyss defeated Danny Doring in 8:27 by pinfall with a Choke Slam.

Grade: 54

After the match Abyss will grab the bag...and pull out a piece of wood with nails sticking out of it! He will get a microphone and tell Dr. Stevie that he is coming for him, and Stevie can either come and get what is coming to him, or he will face the wrath of….Janice (the piece of wood with nails)!

Backstage the Motor City Machine Guns will do a promo about the AEW World Tag Team Championship match, and after it “cuts” Generation Me will come in and there will be some tension before they apologize and explain they were just trying to prove to the Guns that they were deserving of the respect that the Guns had shown them thus far. Handshakes, still slightly tense, will end the segment.

Samoa Joe will come out and get the fans hyped up for his tag team partner, a former World Champion……and the King of the Mountain…..

….JEFF JARRETT!

Match #3: James Maritato/Kid Kash vs. Jeff Jarrett/Samoa Joe

Additional Information: AEW Full Gear Cup Quarter Final Match

Referee: Brandon Tolle

Road Agent: Brother Ray

Notes for match: Jeff Jarrett should take it easy in this match as he works off his ring rust from not competing in almost a year.

Notes about the match: Samoa Joe carried the majority of this match, but Jeff did manage to get into the ring a couple of times throughout the match to get some shots in, before Joe ended the match with a submission earning a spot in the AEW Full Gear Cup Semi-Finals at AEW Full Gear facing off against the winner of the Christopher Daniels/Frankie Kazarian vs. Mick Foley/Sting match next week.

Result: In a decent match, Samoa Joe and Jeff Jarrett defeated James Maritato and Kid Kash in 8:04 when Samoa Joe submitted Kid Kash with a Coquina Clutch.

Grade: 69

Jeremy Borash will interview Tommy Dreamer, Mick Foley and Sting about next week. Foley and Sting will be worried about The Band possibly attacking Tommy Dreamer after his match next week, as they will be distracted getting ready for their AEW Full Gear Cup match, but Dreamer will say he has a plan just in case.

Match #4: Booker T vs. Jesse Neal

Additional Information: Rob Van Dam will accompany Booker T to the ring and will distract both the referee and Jesse Neal at moments during the match.

Referee: Brandon Tolle

Road Agent: Jerry Lynn

Notes about the match: This match was mostly just there to get Booker T some time in the ring with his current tag team partner injured. Neal will put up a good fight, but after getting distracted by RVD will fall victim to a combination of a Side Kick and Book End to give Booker T the victory.

Result: In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Booker T defeated Jesse Neal in 7:46 by pinfall with a Book End.

Grade: 58

Doug Williams will have an interview backstage with the AEW X-Division Championship and will talk about how Consequences Creed will be getting a shot at the belt next week after he had eliminated Williams from the Battle Royale last week, but Williams will then say that Creed may end up just like Sabu did at AEW Lockdown. And up next will be Red!

Referee: Mark Johnson

Road Agent: Paul Heyman

Notes for match: This match should allow the fans a breather with Velvet Sky showing off her eye candy abilities.

Notes about the match: Unsurprisingly the fans were excited to see Velvet Sky do her stuff, but they were also into the match itself as Hamada is slowly winning over respect from the fans. Another victory for Hamada means she will be defending her Championship at AEW Full Gear against the winner of a four way match between Taylor Wilde, Sarita, Lacey Von Erich, and Madison Rayne set for next week.

Result: In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Hamada defeated Velvet Sky in 10:24 by pinfall with a Sitout Scoop Slam Driver. Hamada makes defence number five of the AEW Womens title.

Grade: 52

A video from AJ Styles at home talking about how he will return to action next week, but that he wants a rematch for the AEW World Championship.

Match #6: The Great Sasuke vs. “The Rising Son” Okada

Referee: Traci Brooks

Road Agent: Paul Heyman

Notes for match: These two were given permission to use high spots to try and win the fans over in the match as we were expecting they might not get a great welcome.

Notes about the match: This was just meant to be a quick showcase for Okada, and that was exactly what it was as he took what Sasuke had to give, and then finished the match off.

Result: In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, "The Rising Son" Okada defeated The Great Sasuke in 5:52 by pinfall with a German Suplex.

Grade: 37

Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are given the chance to talk about the big surprise of Jeff Jarrett, and while they respect him they feel sorry that he came back and attached himself to a big anchor like Samoa Joe. Next week it will be Sting and Foley who are just the first step for Daniels and Kazarian on their way to the pay window at AEW Full Gear.

Mr. Anderson will once again reiterate how he is wanting a shot at the AEW World Championship, and how he is far more deserving than AJ Styles who lost the Championship….

Referee: Mark Jonson

Road Agent: Brother Devon

Notes about the match: The commentary team really put over how important this match was to DDP, which also became the story of the match. Dallas Page put everything on the line to try and win the match and even connected with a Diamond Cutter, but that only got one. His big mistake was when he went to the top rope, just to have Wolfe trip him up and connect with the Tower of London for a close two count. The AEW World Champion pulls him up….just to get hit with another Diamond Cutter! But DDP was too worn out to go for the pin immediately, so when he finally rolled Wolfe over that only got a two count. Both men slowly come to their feet and after a series of reversals out of the Diamond Cutter, Wolfe manages to connect with the Jawbreaker Lariat to pick up the victory and defend the title!

Result: In a decent match, Desmond Wolfe defeated Diamond Dallas Page in 18:18 by pinfall with a Jawbreaker Lariat. Desmond Wolfe makes defence number one of the AEW World title.

Grade: 66

After the match Ric Flair will join Wolfe in the ring to celebrate, but they will have their celebration ruined by someone calling their names. The fans will erupt in cheers when they find the source of the voice, Jeff Hardy!! And sitting on top of a ladder! He will announce that at AEW Full Gear Desmond Wolfe will be defending his AEW World Championship against Jeff Hardy: “and in case you couldn’t guess, it’s going to be….a ladder match!”

Overall Show Grade: 67
