The Don Callis Family’s “The Machine” Brian Cage (with Don
Callis & Lance Archer)
vs.
“The Best Bout Machine” Kenny Omega!
Don Callis joined the broadcast booth for this match.
Kenny swarmed Cage in the corner with jabs and chops. Kenny
tried to take out the legs of Cage. Brian Cage back dropped
Kenny Omega. Cage picked up Omega and curled him like a
barbell and then dumped him on the mat. Cage crunched Kenny
in the corner, ramming Kenny with his shoulder.
Kenny countered a power bomb attempt with a hurracanrana.
Lance Archer jumped onto the apron, but Kenny blasted him
with a high boot. The distraction helped the Don Callis
Family because Brian Cage used the opportunity to nail Kenny
with a running lariat. Cage press slammed Kenny onto the
announcers’ desk. Archer held Kenny as Callis assaulted
Kenny with cheap shots.
Cage power bombed Kenny over the top rope and back into the
ring! Omega held his stomach as Brian Cage hit him with a
pump handle slam. Omega rallied back with his own power
bomb, but from the top rope, and followed up with a knee
strike for a near fall on Cage!
Kenny cracked Cage with the V-Trigger knee strike. Omega
smashed Cage with the One Winged Angel and pinned Brian
Cage!
“Welcome back Kenny Omega!” said Taz.
Kyle Fletcher and Lance Archer stomped on Kenny after the
match, targeting Kenny’s midsection. Will Ospreay sprinted
to the ring to even up the odds for Kenny! Ospreay cleaned
the ring of Fletcher and Archer!
“Combined efforts from Ospreay and Omega to even the odds!”
said Excalibur.
AEW International Champion “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita
came down to the ring and he and Omega traded strikes in the
center of the ring. Fletcher grabbed Omega from behind with
a snap half-and half suplex. Fletcher thumbed Will in the
eyes and then Takeshita dropped Ospreay. Takeshita laid out
Omega with the Raging Fire and Fletcher nailed Will with a
brain buster!
“The Don Callis Family just laid out maximum carnage here
tonight,” said Taz.
ROH World Champion Chris Jericho presented another New York
Minute!
Jericho said Cope was a dope and they knew all about their
opponents at Collision: Maximum Carnage. Jericho guaranteed
Mox that they’d be on the same page for their 12-man tag
match this Saturday!
Up Next: Ricochet came out to the ring!
The fans chanted “Swerve’s House!”
Ricochet: “You know what? It’s ok, that’s how it’s going to
be? Listen, a picture is worth a thousand words.”
Ricochet showed a photo of a bloodied Swerve Strickland,
from the scissor attack.
Prince Nana cracked Ricochet with a steel chair from behind!
Swerve came to the ring and swung a steel chain, but
Ricochet retreated from the ring! Swerve was relentless in
his pursuit, but Ricochet was running for the hills!

whirlwind media tour!
Trios Match!
Mark Briscoe and AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party—
Quen & Zay
vs.
The Hurt Syndicate—Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, & MVP!
MVP bashed Briscoe with forearms in the ring. Briscoe fired
back with chops and redneck Kungfu. MVP pump kicked Mark in
the mush. Shelton grabbed Mark and whipped him into the ring
apron and then body slammed him.
Back in the ring, MVP dropped the ballin’ elbow on Mark
Briscoe, good for a two-count. Zay tagged in and connected
with a cross body press on Shelton. Zay followed up with a
dropkick. Quen tagged in and Private Party double dropkicked
MVP, then Shelton, and then Lashley! Mark Briscoe flew
through the ropes and crashed into Lashley outside the ring!

Bobby Lashley suplexed Briscoe on the arena floor! Shelton
shoved Quen into Lashley and Lashley spiked Quen with a
choke slam. Lashley speared Zay! Shelton suplexed Quen and
then landed a thrust kick on Quen, scoring the pin!
“That sets the tone right there. You just pinned one half of
the World tag team champions. That’s impressive!” said Taz.
It was announced that next week on Dynamite it’ll be “The
Rated R Superstar” Cope against AEW World Trios Champion
“The Bastard” PAC!
“The Last Outlaw” Jeff Jarrett came to the ring!
Jarrett: “The last few weeks, they sure have been humbling
for me—”
MJF’s music hit, and MJF walked to the ring!
MJF: “Humbling? Jeff Jarrett, you have yet to learn the
definition of the word. Last week I gave you the opportunity
of a lifetime and you had the audacity to turn me down?”
Jarrett: “You were too lazy to enter the Gauntlet Battle
Royale—”
MJF: “Don’t you ever interrupt me! Allow me to school all
you simple minded folk on the real legacy of the Last
Outlaw, emphasis on last, because Jeff Jarrett is the last
thing you see before your favorite wrestling company dies.
“You are literally the definition of the pro wrestling grim
reaper. When I think about your career, it’s enough to make
me want to drink. Oh, I know I just took it too far. I just
had a great idea. How about for the health of this company
and for you, I send your ass packing back to rehab where you
belong. But do me a favor? Can you make sure that sexy MILF
of a wife of yours sticks around. But I’m not a monster.
When I’m through with her, I’ll ship her back to Tennessee.”
Jarrett: “Max, Max, Max, not only was everything you just
said crude and stupid, but it’s all been said a thousand
times before. Let’s get down to business. I know that the
best years of my career are behind me.
“But last summer when I entered the Owen Hart Cup, the AEW
fanbase, they awakened a passion and a desire in me that I
didn’t know I still had. It’s the one thing that’s going to
keep me on track to becoming the AEW World champion. But
let’s get back to you, Max. You think you’re going to hurt
my feelings? I was you before you were you.
“Everything you can say or done, I did it before you and I
did it better than you. But Max, hold on, before we get all
bent out of shape here, you confuse me. Because I don’t know
if you’re a dumbass or a scumbag, but knowing where you come
from, maybe it’s all of the above.
“He’s your scumbag but let me give you a little history. I
actually feel sorry for him on some days. It’s tough being
raised by a call girl mother and your ambulance chasing
attorney of a father. And your old lady is nothing more than
a Canadian call girl.
“Max, look at me! You need me and you don’t even know why.
Because you’re drowning in your own s—t. You may be lazy and
a prick, but at the core, you’re a scared little boy.
“You’re scared to death of never being on top. And like I
said last week, you are scared of becoming a one-hit
wonder.”
MJF: “You listen to me! Scared? I am nothing like you! I
didn’t need my daddy to make me a top guy, I didn’t need to
start my own company to become a top guy. MJF made MJF!
Let’s talk about when I’m king of the mountain. I’m the only
man to thank for the biggest professional wrestling show of
all time, and I’m the one to thank for record ticket sales
and pay-per-view buys. And then I got screwed out of my
championship. My name! My legacy! Dragged through the mud.
To this day, the same people that put me on a pedestal have
now taken it out from beneath me and treat me like I’m
nothing. I don’t need the championship, I want it, so I can
shove it down their throats.
“But instead I have to wait in line for Jeff Jarrett? With
all due respect, these people, they’re not very bright, no
wrestling fan has ever given a single s—t about you. But you
know what really pisses me off, slap nuts? Just because you
were best friends with Owen Hart, you think you’re owed a
grand finale. You might have had these people convinced, but
I see through your bull, you carnie succubus. You are
nothing more than a leech riding the coattails of your
deceased friend. Did I strike a chord? I thought you were
tough. I guess you don’t like it when I talk about your old
pal Owen—”
Jeff Jarrett heard enough and leveled MJF! Karen Jarrett got
in the ring and tried to calm Jeff down. MJF grabbed Karen
and used her as a shield and then shoved her at Jeff before
running off!
It was announced that this Saturday on Collision: Maximum
Carnage, for the AEW Continental Championship, it’ll be

steel post. Shibata came down to help Hook but Christian
planted Shibata with the Kill Switch on the arena floor!
Hook locked on the Redrum inside the ring. Christian called
in the reinforcements! Nick and Kip stomped on Hook. The ref
disqualified Christian. Christian Cage was about to put Hook
in the con-chair-to when Samoa Joe came down to clean house
on the Patriarchy! Christian Cage and Mother Wayne retreated
before Samoa Joe could get to them!
“Samoa Joe, Shibata, and Hook, reunited tonight on Dynamite:
Maximum Carnage!” said Excalibur.
Renee Paquette was backstage to interview Jeff Jarrett!
ROH World Tag Team Champion Dustin Rhodes interrupted the
interview.
Dustin: “How many years have we known each other? MJF has
been in the business a minute? I’m here to tell you that I’m
110 percent behind you and want you to go after your dream.
You’re the Last Outlaw. And Jeff, outlaws never die. We’re
the very last of our kind.”
