It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means!

“The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay
vs.
The Don Callis Family’s “The Machine” Brian Cage (with Don
Callis & Lance Archer)!

Don Callis joined the broadcast booth for this match.

Callis: “Ospreay I have something very important to tell
you. I want you to take a good look at that screen now.”

Kenny Omega was backstage and had been assaulted! While Will
was looking at the big screen, Brian Cage blindsided
Ospreay. Will Ospreay wiped out Cage with a hurracanrana
from the turnbuckles. Cage dropped Ospreay to the floor with
a running shoulder block.

Ospreay was looking for a flipping neck breaker off the
barricade, but Cage caught him! Cage drove Will down with a
suplex on the arena floor! Archer stomped Will as the
referee was distracted by Brian Cage. Callis came in with

piledrivers! The Don Callis Family continued to beat down
Omega and Fletcher. Fletcher tried to shield Omega, using
his body to try to protect Kenny from additional punishment.

Renee Paquette was backstage trying to get a word with
Swerve Strickland!

“Hangman” Adam Page stormed past her, looking for Swerve.
Page brushed past MJF.

MJF: “I’m not going to let anybody ruin my mood tonight. My
words aren’t just poetry, they’re prophecy. Tonight, Jeff
Jarrett, you’ll have to go out there alone and face Claudio
and that’s because you refused my sweetheart of an offer.
It’s one you can’t decline. The Last Outlaw’s last ride…
ain’t I great!”

Powerhouse Hobbs had a strong warning for Big Bill!

“Unfortunately Big Bill, I wasn’t cleared to Dynamite
tonight. When I’m cleared to come back, I’m going to show
you that hell is just the beginning.”

“The Last Outlaw” Jeff Jarrett
vs.
AEW World Trios Champion Claudio Castagnoli!

Jeff Jarrett will get a World Title shot with a win!

Jeff used an arm drag and a hip toss to take down Claudio.
Claudio came back with a running lariat. Jarrett applied a
figure four leg lock out of nowhere. Claudio reached the
ropes to force the ref to break the hold.

ringside.

retaliated with a Russian Leg Sweep. Both men traded
strikes. Jeff changed levels and kicked Claudio’s legs.
Claudio grabbed Jarrett and whirled him around in the Giant
Swing. Claudio’s knee gave out after all the damage done.

the ref. Claudio swung the chair, but Jarrett ducked it. AEW
World Champion Jon Moxley jumped into the ring and spiked
Jeff with the Paradigm Shift. Claudio planted Jeff with the
Neutralizer and pinned Jarrett.

After the match, MJF’s music hit and MJF came down to the
ring!

MJF: “You know, Jeff, I just wanted to come out here to say
—”

MJF clocked Jarrett with the Dynamite diamond ring, knocking
Jarrett flat on his back!

MJF: “Jeff, as you know I truly respect my elders. And
that’s precisely why I’m not going to say I told you so.”

Renee Paquette interviewed Ricochet backstage!

Renee: “Tony Khan gave me word that if Swerve interferes
with your match tonight, his match with you next week will
be off.”

Ricochet: “And if you want to talk to me, you’ll have to
have a sit down with me on Collision.”

the ring. Swerve whipped Ricochet into the steel ring steps!
Swerve went for the Swerve Stomp, but Ricochet used AR Fox
as a human shield and then retreated from the ring.

ROH World Champion Chris Jericho had a New York Minute!

Jericho promoted his new horror movie out this Friday. Big
Bill said he feels like he understands Jericho’s words in a
way he never did before. He feels stronger. Jericho said he
felt proud to be such a great mentor. But Big Bill didn’t
get the job finished against Powerhouse Hobbs. But on
Collision, it’ll be Jericho and “the Bad Apple” against the
Outrunners, and Big Bill will have to learn and watch how
it’s done.

Jericho: “Big Bill, I expect you to make me proud this time
for real.”

“Switchblade” Jay White vs. AEW World Trios Champion Wheeler
Yuta!

Jay White blistered Yuta’s chest with chops. He followed up
with a back drop to Yuta. Wheeler dropkicked White in the

near fall. Wheeler German Suplexed the Switchblade but Jay
White escaped. Jay White countered a knee strike with the
Blade Runner and pinned Wheeler Yuta!

After the match, Jay blasted Wheeler with another Blade
Runner for good measure. AEW World Champion Jon Moxley came
down to the ring and distracted White long enough for
Claudio to blindside Jay White.

“The Rated R Superstar” Cope and FTR sprinted to the ring
and ran off the Death Riders!

Dax: “It’s an even fight right now. Death Riders, I know how
you operate. What I hate is when you try to end a 67 year
old man, my idol, Ricky Morton, that’s when I’ve got a
problem. Dennis Condrey is here, and in his name, on
Collision, FTR versus the Death Riders in a Midsouth Street
Fight! See ya’ll there!”

Renee Paquette interviewed AEW Women’s World Champion “The
Glamour” Mariah May!

Mariah May: “We’re doing this? The return of Toni Storm?
Toni Storm is not real! You want to play the role of Toni
Storm? Ok, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who gave her
heart to a woman who used her for her gold.

“Why don’t you play the Toni Storm whose most memorable
moment was bleeding and crying in my hands? Why don’t you
play the Toni Storm who walked out of Wembley, Japan, and
Mexico, crying because she couldn’t touch me? The ending
stays the same.

“I don’t need to role play because when you’re this good,
you don’t need to change a thing. I am the woman from hell,
and I always will be. And I will remind you for the rest of
your life. This is your AEW Women’s World Champion!”
