Since the handling and depth of AEW women’s division is such a hot topic these days, I went back and looked at the participants in this match to see who AEW had available without a WWE contract a few weeks before the TNT premiere of Dynamite. This match was way deeper with talent than I remember it.
Nyla Rose
Allie
Awesome Kong (w/ Brandi as her valet)
Bea Priestley
Big Swole
Britt Baker
Faby Apache
Ivelisse
JAZZ
Leva Bates
Mercedes Martinez
Nicole Savoy
ODB
Penelope Ford
Priscilla Kelly
Sadie Gibbs
Shalandra Royal
Shazza McKenzie
Teal Piper
Tenille Dashwood

Here are all the names either confirmed or speculated to be in the Casino battle Royale at all out. I’m just going off of women that have been apart of AEW before.

1. Britt Baker *
2. Allie *
3. Nyla Rose *
4. Bea Priestley
5. Kylie Rae
6. Leva Bates
7. Brandi Rhodes *
8. Awesome Kong
9. Penelope Ford
10. Sadie Gibbs *
11. Big Swole *
12. Jazz *
13. Teal Piper *
14. Ivelisse *
15. Aja Kong (Booked in Japan)
16. Emi Sakura
17. Yuka Shakazaki (Booked in Japan)
18. Ryo Mizunami
19. Shoko Nakajima (Booked in Japan)

• means confirmed according to Wrestling observer site.

As far as I can remember that’s it. Not counting Riho and Hikaru Shida who will be facing off later in the night. Now of course all of these women aren’t confirmed. I’m just going off of who has been on AEW before. I’m thinking some of the Joshi wrestlers may not be in this. And I haven’t seen anything with AEW and Penelope Ford since one of the press conferences.
Who do you guys think will fill the missing spots? I’m not extremely familiar with women’s wrestling in the indies but a few names I think could show up are
Session Moth Martina. (No visa)
Priscilla Kelly.
Kris Statlander.
Scarlett Bordeaux.
Shotzi Blackheart. (Booked in Texas)
Delilah Doom. (Booked in Texas)
Solo Darling.
Shazza Mckenzie.
Allysin Kay.
Maybe a legend or two? Someone like Victoria or Melina if they still wrestle.
Edit* Added a couple of names from the comments.

Here we go! Stick around after the show for post show discussion!

The Buy In
I Casino Ladder Match, Winner Becomes Number One Contender: Big Swole vs Thunder Rosa vs Rosemary vs Abadon vs Hikaru Shida vs Penelope Ford vs Nyla Rose vs Allysin Kay
Winner: Nyla Rose ( notable spots include a confrontation between Rosemary and Abadon, Ford diving on top of everyone and Nyla powerbombing Swole through a ladder for the win. Post ppv, Nyla and Swole can begin a feud off of this injury angle. )
​
II Private Party vs Matt Hardy and mystery partner ( Private Party are face again and turn on Matt Hardy, abandoning his cheating ways. To teach them a lesson, Matt makes a challenge for All Out, with a mystery partner being teased. The partner turns out to be Bully Ray! )
Winners: Private Party ( With the youngsters kicking out from both the Bully Bomb and Twist of Fate, the tag legends get frustrated and introduce a table. Referee pleads for them not to do it, but PP takes advantage, and hit the Gin and Juice to Bully through the table to get the win! Chose Bully for this spot as he is not a full time roster member and is likely to sell it better than Matt. )
​
The Main Show
III Darby Allin (c) vs PAC vs Lance Archer, TNT Title ( Darby, having fend off the entire Team Taz , a dream match with Sting, and even a heel turn from Cody, now faces two massive challengers. Lance Archer, now a babyface, has been on a tear for months and has found a strange respect for Darby. PAC has been connected to Archer for the entire year, with them only getting physical a few weeks before the show, with Archer getting the win...barely. Now, we are set for a three way for the TNT title between these three eccentric faces. )
Winner: PAC ( Just as Darby hits a Coffin Drop on Archer, PAC flies out of nowhere with a Black Arrow on Darby, before locking in the Brutalizer on him afterwards. Darby never taps, but he does pass out, blood coming out of his mouth, PAC is the new champion!! )
​
IV MJF vs Eddie Kingston ( A very personal feud that writes itself. Rich kid against a thug from the streets, a pompous douchebag against a common man. A now babyface Eddie takes issue with MJF's exile of Sammy and Hager from Inner Circle, how people like MJF stab people in the back all the time just to get ahead. The promos themselves would be a thing of beauty. )
Winner: MJF ( After a low blow and a sick piledriver, MJF cheats his way to a win. Afterwards, Friedman grabs a mic, and proceeds to insult Eddie's mother who is ringside. Eddie snaps, beats down MJF, and allows his mom to slap him in the face, before knocking him out at ringside with the Blackout Backfist. Eddie hugs his momma and celebrates with her. )
​
V 21 Man Casino Battle Royale, Winner Becomes Number One Contender For The World Title
CLUBS: Team Taz ( Cage, Hook, Hobbs, Ricky) and Pentagon
DIAMONDS: Fenix, Miro, Kip, Trent, Orange
HEARTS: Cabana, Reynolds, Spears, Jurrasic Express
SPADES: Butcher, Blade, FTR, Hager
JOKER: Moose
Winner: Miro by last eliminating Moose ( Notable spots include:
- Pentagon taking on the entire Team Taz by himself
- Lucha Brothers eliminating Best Friends, Team Taz and BB before being dumped by Miro
- Orange accidentally punching Trent
​
VI Good Brothers (c) vs Young Bucks (c), Winner Takes All ( With Omega and GB going heel and turning on Bucks, the brothers decide to challenge... The Brothers, to an all out ( pun intended ), winner takes all the gold match! )
Winners: Good Brothers ( Following interference from Don, who eats a Meltzer Driver for his troubles, the Good Brothers capitalize and nail a Super Magic Killer on Nick to retain the Impact belts and win the AEW ones! )
​
VII Nightmare Family ( Cody, Dustin, QT, Johnson, Brandi ) vs Dark Order ( 10, Uno, Stu, Silver, Anna ), 5 on 5 Losers Must Disband ( Following Cody's heel turn on Sting and Darby, he snaps and turns back to his real self, egocentric cocky prick who fancies himself a leader. Naturally, in the months to come, his wife, best friend, brother and young prospect Lee Johnson join him to formally introduce the Nightmare Family. Cody's first mission - eliminating all other stables. 10 steps up as the co-leader and challenges the heels to a 5 on 5 war where the losing team disbands forever. )
Winners: Dark Order ( Naturally, the babyfaces win, with 10 pinning Dustin, solidifying him as the future of the company. Cody continues to be a heel afterwards, while the Dark Order's rise continues, with Uno and Stu defeating Gallows and Anderson for the AEW titles in early 2021 and 10 having a title match with PAC where he loses, but earns the Bastard's respect. )
​
VIII Chris Jericho vs Sammy Guevara ( After Jericho's betrayal, Sammy and Hager get kicked out of the Inner Circle. Sammy spends the rest of the year attempting to get his hands on his former mentor, to prove himself as the man. )
Winner: Sammy Guevara ( After becoming the first person to kick out of the Judas Effect, and surviving the Walls of Jericho, Guevara hits his mentor with his own move, the Codebreaker! A stunned Jericho walks right into another, picture perfect Codebreaker, before Sammy climbs up top and nails a nasty 630 senton to get the win! Guevara has defeated his idol, cementing his face turn and his singles career. )
​
IX Serena Deeb (c) vs Deonna Purazzo (c) vs Britt Baker (c), Winner Takes All ( a massive match for the NWA, Impact and AEW Women's championship! Build up naturally includes these ladies dissing each other on social media, invading each other's shows, and dream singles matches, none of which end clean. )
Winner: Britt Baker ( after an excruciating 20 minutes, we see two ladies invade ringside, it's Team Sea Stars, Ashley Vox and Delmi Exo! The two get Deonna out of the ring and with Rebel's help, drive her through the timekeeper's area! Baker takes advantage and makes Deeb tap out. Britt Baker is now a Triple Champion, as her new crew hoist her and her belts up. Impact's women have switched sides! )
​
X Sami Callihan vs Jon Moxley, Cincinnati Carnage ( the only cinematic match on the show, but it will be a great one. Moxley and Callihan, Switchblades no more, are here to deliver a dream match a decade in the making. The match will take place in a dirty warehouse in Cincinnati and obviously be pre - taped.)
Winner: Jon Moxley by TKO ( No reason to even write spots here, these guys do everything you can imagine and probably more. Finally, Mox knocks Sami off an elevated position through a stack of glass tables!! As there was no referees, and as this as not an official match but rather a fight, Mox technically wins, as Sami ain't moving. )
​
XI Hangman Adam Page vs Kenny Omega, Last Chance match for the AEW World Title ( The ultimate way to end a show, Omega vs Page. After accepting the Dark Order as his new family and even defeating Chris Jericho to vanquish that demon from his past, Hangman is ready to finally fulfil his destiny. However, Omega and Callis throw a curveball - if Hangman loses, he can never challenge for the AEW World Title again. Ever. Hangman accepts, knowing that he can do this. )
Winner: Adam Page ( No One Angel kickouts here, they are not needed. Basically, this will be that Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole match where the entire UE interfered, but Johnny still won. Good Brothers will show up, but get neutralized. Even Callis himself will show up, but eats a Buckshot instead. Omega capitalizes with his own Buckshot Lariat! 1, 2, 2.9!!! Hangman perseveres, nails Kenny with a V Trigger before taking off his elbow pad. Hangman gets on the apron, lets out a mighty roar and takes Omega's damn head off with a Buckshot! 1, 2, 3! He did it! Hangman is the new AEW World Champion! The entire babyface locker room and Dark Order show up and celebrate, as the millennial cowboy finally did it. )

Being the Elite Episode

Here is a relatively quick summary of the major angles leading into Full Gear. Links to AEW's Youtube, Twitter and Instagram with highlights and clips of what is going on. I'm including other angles that I feel might end up being relevant to Full Gear, but am not attempting to summarize everything.
The Buy In: Serena Deeb (NWA Women’s Champion) vs Allisyn Kay
Summary: Serena Deeb is a wrestling veteran, very skilled in the ring, who has just become the NWA champion, in addition to being an AEW wrestler. Allisyn Kay, a former NWA Champion, wants her old title belt back.

• 9/2 - Serena Deeb, in her AEW debut, lost against visiting NWA Champion Thunder Rosa.
• 10/27 - Serena Deeb had a rematch against NWA champion Thunder Rosa on her own turf, and won the NWA Women’s Championship. (Watch the PPV here on Fite TV)
• 10/28 - Serena Deeb defended the NWA belt against newcomer Layla Hirsch.
• 11/4 - AEW announced that former NWA Champion Allysin Kay will now challenge Serena Deeb for the NWA title at Full Gear.

John Silver vs. Orange Cassidy
Summary: Orange Cassidy is a lazy wrestler who can go toe to toe with the best, if he bothers to try. John Silver, a member of the Dark Order, is a little bundle of hyperactive aggression. Orange Cassidy took on the leader of the Dark Order, Mr. Brodie Lee for the TNT championship. While Mr. Brodie Lee won, the Dark Order, and John Silver in particular, want to punish Cassidy for even trying in the first place.
This will be a pretty comedic match, by two people who are genuinely good in the ring.

• 9/23 - Mr. Brodie Lee, with the Dark Order at ringside, faced Orange Cassidy to retain the TNT Championship. John Silver interfered with the match to help Mr. Brodie Lee get the win.
• 9/30 - Orange Cassidy beats Preston Vance of the Dark Order. John Silver mocks Orange Cassidy and the Best Friends during the match.
• 10/14 - Orange Cassidy faced Cody, who had just won back the TNT Championship. John Silver tried to interfere but was ejected from ringside. Orange Cassidy pinned Cody, but ran out of time.
• 10/21 - John Silver intensely cuts a promo about how the Dark Order is going to dominate all of AEW.
• 10/21 - John Silver and Alex Reynolds face Private Party, the Butcher and the Blade and the Young Bucks for the chance to face FTR at Full Gear. They lose, but Silver does look pretty darn good. (Reynolds gets injured though.)
• 10/28 - John Silver attacks Orange Cassidy during the lumberjack rematch with Cody for the TNT Championship, allowing Cody to win.
• 11/4 - John Silver and most of Dark Order attack Orange Cassidy at ringside.
• 11/4 - Orange Cassidy stops John Silver from hitting Cody with a chair after the Dark Order’s defeat.

TNT Title: Cody Rhodes (TNT Champion) vs. Darby Allin
Summary: Cody is the son of legendary wrestler Dusty Rhodes, a charming talker and face of the company. He is the TNT Champion. Darby Allin is a reckless daredevil. They have faced off often over the past year, with Cody barely managing to win every time. Will Darby finally win over Cody?

• 9/23 - Cody returns after a vicious beatdown by Mr. Brodie Lee weeks prior. Then, Mr. Brodie Lee challenges Cody to a Dog Collar match.
• 9/30 - Darby Allin beats Absolute Ricky Starks. This will later be revealed as why Allin is facing Cody at Full Gear.
• 9/30 - Cody at first seems to not accept the Dog Collar match, but then agrees. He and Mr. Brodie Lee get in a big brawl.
• 10/7 - Cody beats Mr. Brodie Lee in a Dog Collar match to regain the TNT Championship. Orange Cassidy will be the next challenger.
• 10/14 - Darby Allin watches as Orange Cassidy almost beats Cody, hitting a time limit tie. Cody retains the TNT Championship. Then, Darby Allin is announced as the challenger for the TNT Championship at Full Gear.
• 10/28 - Darby Allin watches as Cody beats Orange Cassidy in a Lumberjack match for the TNT Championship.
• 11/4 - Taz is upset that neither Brian Cage or Ricky Starks are booked for Full Gear. Starks feels he deserves the slot Darby got. Taz says that they will be at Full Gear anyways.
• 11/4 - Cody, with the help of the Gunn Club beats the Dark Order. He then calls out a watching Darby Allin before their match at Full Gear.

World Tag Team Titles: FTR (AEW Tag Team Champions) vs. The Young Bucks
Stipulation: If the Bucks lose, they can never challenge for the Tag Team belts again.
Summary: FTR are arrogant brawlers who say they're the best tag team in the world, and they have the AEW Tag Team titles to prove it. The Young Bucks are arrogant high-fliers who say they're the best tag team in the world. They've both been arguing over who is the best for years, and now finally get to prove it. Previously, FTR messed with the Young Bucks by manipulating Hangman Adam Page, taking the Bucks out of the last title match, and the Bucks are still upset about it.

• 9/9 - The Young Bucks superkick Alex Marvez when he tries to interview them about the aftermath of All Out.
• 9/16 - The Young Bucks superkick a referee, then get mocked by FTR.
• 9/23 - Matt Jackson breaks Tony Schiavone's phone when he brings up FTR.
• 9/23 - FTR announce that they'll be doing shorter title defenses against teams they pick.
• 9/30 - FTR claim the Young Bucks don't deserve a title shot. Then, Matt Jackson superkicks Tony Schiavone to interrupt the interview.
• 9/30 - FTR defends the title belts against SCU.
• 10/7 - FTR defends the title belts against TH2. Best Friends continue to demand a title shot, but FTR still chicken out.
• 10/7 - The Young Bucks watch FTR's match against TH2 at a very strange angle. Then, they superkick the camera man.
• 10/14 - FTR defends the title belts against Best Friends.
• 10/14 - Four tag teams are chosen to compete for a chance to challenge FTR. The Young Bucks are one of them, and superkick all of their competitors.
• 10/21 - The Young Bucks win the 4 way match for the chance to challenge FTR at Full Gear, but are attacked by FTR afterward. Matt Jackson's leg is injured.
• 10/28 - FTR and The Young Bucks are interviewed. FTR leave when they think the Young Bucks are getting preferential treatment. The Bucks announce that if they lose this match, they’ll never challenge for the tag titles again.
• 11/4 - The injured Young Bucks beat Private Party. FTR tries to jump them again after the match, but Hangman Adam Page, followed by Kenny Omega come to their aid.
• 11/4 - Recap of the storyline leading up to the match.
• 11/4 - Tully Blanchard has been banned from ringside for the match at Full Gear.

Women's World Title: Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Nyla Rose
Summary: Hikaru Shida is the AEW Women's champion, who had been doing an open challenge for her title. Nyla Rose is a bruiser of a beast, loving to slam women through tables. She's recently gotten Vickie Guererro as her manager. Nyla lost her world title to Shida earlier this year, and has been waiting for a rematch.

• 9/9 - After Nyla defeats Tay Conti, Shida makes sure Nyla doesn't attack her after the match.
• 10/13 - Nyla said she wouldn't go into the ring again until she got her title match against Shida.
• 10/14 - Shida defends the world title against Big Swole.
• 10/28 - Shida accepts Nyla's challenge for Full Gear.
• 11/4 - After Nyla Rose quickly beats Red Velvet, Nyla’s manager, Vickie Guererro calls out Shida in the crowd.

World Title Eliminator Tournament Final: Kenny Omega vs. Hangman Page
Summary: Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page until recently were tag team champions. Hangman's bad decisions lead to their defeat at the hands of FTR. Now Kenny wants to go back to being a singles star, and Adam Page feels abandoned and hurt. Can the sad drunken cowboy beat his former partner, one of the best wrestlers on the planet? Winner of this match gets a shot at the World Championship.
The saga of Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page is one of the best storylines in wrestling to date. The first chunk of it is summarized here, and the second chunk was summarized by me here.
I am not including the Being The Elite segments here too, even though Hangman has been doing some REALLY good work there, because they are really tied up with other plots and hard to summarize briefly.

• 9/5 - Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page lose their teamwork during the title defense against FTR. FTR wins the match and the Tag Team belts. Kenny Omega storms off without Hangman or the Young Bucks.
• 9/9 -Tony Schiavone interviews Hangman Adam Page about the loss at All Out, and how he's really hurting after it, but feels they can continue as a tag team together.
• 9/9 -JR interviews Kenny Omega about the loss at All Out, and how he's ready to move on and return to singles competition.
• 9/16 - Hangman gets a singles victory against Frankie Kazarian, while Kenny on Commentary is passive-aggressively berating him. It was originally going to be a tag match, but Kenny said no.
• 9/23 - Hangman gets another singles victory against Evil Uno, in what was also a tag match that Kenny passed on. Kenny continued to do passive-aggressive commentary during the match.
• 9/30 - The Eliminator Tournament to determine the next contender for the AEW World Title is announced, and Kenny Omega will be in it, shocking Hangman Adam Page.
• 10/21 - Hangman Adam Page beats Colt Cabana to move on in the Eliminator Tournament.
• 10/21 - Kenny Omega, with a new arrogant attitude, swiftly beats Sonny Kiss to move on in the Eliminator Tournament.
• 10/28 - Hangman Adam Page beats Wardlow to become a finalist in the Eliminator Tournament.
• 10/28 - Kenny beats Penta El Zero Miedo to become a finalist in the Eliminator Tournament. Now he'll face Hangman at Full Gear.
• 11/4 - Kenny Omega is interviewed about the Full Gear match against Hangman. He's confident.
• 11/4 - Hangman Adam Page is interviewed about the Full Gear match against Kenny. He isn't.
• 11/4 - Video package set to "You Don't Know What You've Got, Till It's Gone"
• 11/4 - Both Hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega show up to help the Young Bucks deal with FTR. Page and Omega shake hands, but there is still tension between them.

Chris Jericho vs. MJF
Stipulation: If MJF wins, he can join The Inner Circle.
Summary: Chris Jericho is a raging egotistical rock star, and leads the villainous Inner Circle. MJF is a spoiled egotistical rich guy, with a massive bodyguard in Wardlow. MJF wants to join the Inner Circle, but has to beat Chris Jericho to prove he has what it takes.

• 9/9 - MJF and Jericho meet and compliment each other, but each secretly call the other a loser.
• 9/16 - MJF announces that he’ll consider joining one of the many factions forming at AEW.
• 9/23 - MJF and Jericho both know the other called them a loser, but seem to bond over it.
• 9/30 - MJF and Wardlow give gifts to the Inner Circle. But Sammy Guevara doesn't get a gift.
• 10/14 - MJF officially asks Jericho if he can join the Inner Circle. He gives Sammy a jacket that is completely too big for him. Jericho decides to have a dinner meeting with MJF first.
• 10/21 - At the dinner meeting, Jericho and MJF do a musical number together. Jericho decides to have a Town Hall meeting to decide if MJF can join the Inner Circle.
• 10/28 - The Town Hall meeting to determine if MJF should join the Inner Circle: Part One
• 10/28 - The Town Hall meeting to determine if MJF should join the Inner Circle: Part Two
• 10/28 - At the end of the Town Hall, Jericho issues the challenge. If MJF can beat him at Full Gear, he gets in the Inner Circle. Sammy Guevara and Ortiz, who don’t approve, challenge MJF and Wardlow for next week’s Dynamite.
• 11/4 - Before MJF and Wardlow face Sammy and Ortiz, Jericho calls MJF "soft."
• 11/4 MJF and Wardlow face Sammy Guevara and Ortiz. Matt Hardy, in disguise, attacks Sammy in anticipation of their match, allowing MJF to win. MJF then attacks Chris Jericho at the announcers desk.

Elite Deletion: Matt Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara
Summary: Matt Hardy, a legend in the ring, has been trying to get Sammy Guevara to reach his full potential by leaving Chris Jericho's side. Sammy doesn't want an old man telling him what to do. They've been feuding for months now, with both of them getting injured along the way. It really needs to end.
This will be a cinematic match, filmed at the Hardy Compound.

• 9/5 - Matt Hardy is legitimately injured during his match against Sammy at All Out, but finishes the match anyways, despite that being a really really dumb idea, beating Sammy Guevara. Probably AEW's worst decision to date.
• 9/9 - After being seriously injured at All Out, Matt Hardy speaks about how he's going to rest up and recover.
• 9/16 Matt Hardy has been ambushed and attacked backstage by unknown assailants. The Inner Circle arrive, but claim not to know anything about it.
• 9/23 - Matt Hardy tries to figure out who attacked him backstage. Then, Jericho shows up, admitting he didn't assault Matt Hardy.
• 10/14 - Sammy Guevara issues a challenge to Matt Hardy. He was the one who attacked Matt Hardy back stage. It was him all along.

• 11/4 - Sammy Guevara, during his match against MJF and Wardlow, is attacked by Matt Hardy, who was dressed as Serpentico.
• 11/4 - While Matt Hardy is coaching Private Party before their match, Sammy Guevara attacks him from behind.

AEW World Title "I Quit" Match: Jon Moxley (AEW Champion) vs. Eddie Kingston
Summary: Jon Moxley is a tough bastard, who spent years in the WWE, and beat Chris Jericho to become the AEW World Champion earlier this year. Eddie Kingston has been an indie wrestler for years, struggling to make ends meet before recently joining AEW. Eddie thinks Moxley is a sell out. Moxley thinks Eddie has become bitter and jealous. Once friends, now they're going to practically murder each other in the ring.
NOTE: The promos that both Moxley and Kingston are giving are PHENOMENAL.

• 9/5 - At the Casino Battle Royale at All Out, Lance Archer is the last man standing, but didn't technically get Eddie Kingston over the top rope. Lance wins a shot at the world title, but Eddie is pissed.
• 9/16 - Eddie Kingston points out that he didn't lose the Battle Royale at All Out. He claims he should get a title shot.
• 9/23 - Eddie Kingston calls out Moxley before their title match later that evening.
• 9/23 - Moxley manages to choke out Kingston, and retain the AEW World Championship. After the match, Moxley is attacked by the Lucha Bros.
• 9/30 - Kingston harasses the referee who stopped the match and gave the win to Moxley, claiming he’d would have rather died than surrender. Moxley heads to the ring in response, but Kingston leaves.
• 9/30 - Moxley faces Kingston’s chosen challenger for his title, The Butcher, and wins.
• 10/7 - Moxley cuts a promo, preparing to face Lance Archer.
• 10/14 - Recap of AEW’s first year, mixed with Moxley vs Archer promos and recap.
• 10/14 - Moxley defends against Lance Archer. After the match, Kingston and his family beat up Moxley. Kingston cuts a BRUTAL promo after the show finishes airing. (Anyone got a link to it?)
• 10/21 - Eddie and his family crash the pre-show to talk about how the Lucha Bros and Butcher and Blade will dominate.
• 10/21 - Jon Moxley explains his friendship with Eddie Kingston.
• 10/28 - Moxley does a promo about how he'll have to be willing to kill Eddie Kingston.
• 10/28 - Eddie calls out Moxley before their upcoming match, then beats Matt Sydal with Moxley’s own moves.
• 11/4 - Eddie and Moxley have an intense in-ring confrontation, with the stipulation that if either of them gets violent, their upcoming match is cancelled.

AEW’s Women‘s Division finds itself in a really weird place right now. For the past year and a half or so it’s felt like an afterthought and sorely lacking any attention at all. Now AEW have set up a huge USA vs. Japan 16-women tournament thats got a lot of hype to it, but Shida has been featured on TV barely at all since Double or Nothing still. The talent has improved a lot and they got a great core now with some very good homegrown stars like Nyla Rose, Anna Jay, Abadon, Britt Baker, Leyla Hirsch, Tay Conti etc. So my mission is to take this potential and fully capitalise on it. First we start in present day, and as part of the prompt all disappointing events up until now stay the same. With all that out of the way, here is how I would try and revive the AEW Women’s Championship and Division.
AEW Women’s Eliminator:
Nyla Rose vs. Abadon (February 10th, Dynamite)
Veda Scott makes her return to commentary to team with Excalibur and Tony Schiavone for our women’s eliminator matches tonight, beginning with The Native Beast, Nyla Rose, taking on...as described by Veda, “what do you even call that...” Abadon comes out and haunts Vickie Guerrero but Nyla shows no fear. They both rush each other and it’s a brawl to begin. They soon spill outside where Rose tries to take the monster down using the guardrails, before Vickie exposes the turnbuckle and she slams Abadon into those. She goes for a finisher to end it early, but Abadon counters and the fight is back on. Abadon comes back with a Low Dropkick and Enziguri before clotheslining Nyla out. She throws her into the guardrails this time before setting Rose up on the apron, hanging over the ropes. She dives with a Leg Drop but Nyla moves and she lands flat on the mat. Nyla then hits a Guillotine Knee Drop but only gets a two count. She goes for an Avalanche Powerbomb to end it, but Abadon counters into a Super Rana and lifts both legs of Nyla up to pin her down, 1...2....3. Afterwards Nyla pushes Vickie off when she goes to speak with her.
Abadon defeats Nyla Rose (12:11)
Thunder Rosa vs. Britt Baker (February 10th, Dynamite)
A rematch between these two women here as we unfinished business solved. The match starts with a Big Boot from behind by Baker and from there it’s off to the races. Reba gets a cheap shot from outside after Britt Irish whips Rosa and she keeps going. A roll up is kicked out of but she then flattens Rosa once more. Britt takes it outside where she goes to introduce Rosa to the ring post, but Rosa counters and knocks Britt in instead. She now comes back and uses Reba as a weapon, ducking another shot from her so she hits Britt. Rosa takes a dive to the outside into both men and the fight continues. Britt comes back with some shots to the midsection before taking it outside again, hitting a Snap Suplex onto the floor. That is kicked out of as Rosa flips Britt two birds and throws her around. Baker connects an elbow shot to avoid another flying attack, and goes for a Superplex, but Rosa turns it into an Avalanche Fire Thunder Driver to win and advance. Afterwards she raises her hand and wipes her busted lip, looking deep into the hard cam as Baker is down and out.
Thunder Rosa defeats Britt Baker (10:59)
We see the first segment of Hikaru Shida on this episode, a four part series leading up to Revolution. She is in Japan currently so they are filmed from the Ice Ribbon Dojo. This particular one begins with Shida walking around watching the girls train, and coaching as she looks on. She says in English “they are talented. They will become superstar.” We then move over to a tatami (traditional Japanese room, small with wooden walls, a paper sliding door, no windows etc.) There she sits down and is interviewed about her career with the assist of subtitles. She speaks of her training and relates to the girls she just saw there. She explains how much Ice Ribbon means to her and she’s excited to see their representation in the tournament. It closes with her about her finals days in Japan. She starts to talk about AEW, but it fades out and ends with a “To be continued...”
Leyla Hirsch vs. Riho (February 17th, Dynamite)
Riho returns to AEW for the first time in nearly a full year and is excited to be back in action, but she’s got some steep competition in her corner. Legit Leyla Hirsch walks out ready to kick some ass and take names, throwing the towel on her shoulders into the crowd as she walks and laughing at Riho. “She’s like the size of Leyla’s leg.” Veda says. Tony jumps to Riho’s defence we’ve seen her topple bigger and badder in AEW before, but we’ll have to wait and see. Leyla starts off dominant as she keeps Riho down with her submissions and MMA holds. Riho on occasions looks to mount a comeback but she keeps being knocked back down. Despite this, she keeps getting back up. Out of nowhere she gets a roll up on Leyla to stun her, before a Dropkick knocks her outside. She then does a Flying Crossbody to the floor! The fight is on. Riho uses high speed to fight against the power of Leyla. Hirsch goes for a dangerous Lariat but Riho ducks and hits a Headscissors into an O’Connor Roll to pin and win.
Riho defeats Leyla Hirsch (12:45)
After the match, Tony Schiavone tries to grab an interview with Riho about her win and how it feels to be back. She goes to speak, WHEN SHE’S ATTACKED BY TWO WOMEN! Leyla Hirsch walks up and puts both arms over their shoulders, as commentary reveal it to be Killer Kelly and Lindsay Snow! Excalibur says these two women took part in the Bloodsport Women’s Tournament with Leyla Hirsch months ago, and now they’re here in AEW! Leyla hugs them both Andrew all stand over Riho and walk off.
We then see the next part of Hikaru Shida’s video series. This time begins with her training with some wrestlers, and giving feedback before we go back to the tatami. She says she thinks the girls can be big once more, and name drops a few in particular that she sees as the best. She’s then asked if they could ever expand out of Japan like herself. Shida then leads this off into saying it’s not an easy thing to do. The girls can do it but she did it herself and it’s tough. She then talks about moving to America about a year and a half ago and how she’s felt, how she’s adapted, and what AEW means to her. She details how much it means to her to be here in America and holding the most important title in the world to her. She set out to break boundaries and prove she is the best to the American audience, and she did, having held the title for 9 months. She’s now observing who’s going to stop her, but despite the immense talent - nobody is like her.
Anna Jay vs. Tay Conti (February 17th, Dynamite)
Two best friends clash, with Tay Conti and Anna Jay taking part to face in the next round. Tay offers a handshake but Anna looks away to ignore it. This leaves a bad taste in Tay’s mouth but she pushes on. They lock up and it’s intense, until Tay gains the upper hand. She uses her Judo background to dominate until she tries a Tayogoshi. Anna gets out and gets the cut off. She wrestles with a lot of aggression to the point commentary question that these two women are partners. Anna shows no mercy against Tay with some brutal offence. Conti eventually comes back and applies some vicious submission holds. Tay comes back with a Jumping Knee before a Bicycle Kick off the apron. Anna then hits her with a slam onto the apron and keeps the aggression going. In the climax of the match we saw Tay grab hold of Anna by the wrist and cling on, as they fall forward in exhaustion and rest over each other’s shoulders. Tay wraps an arm around and they hug, until Anna hugs back as she slowly lifts Tay up. They stare into each other’s eyes, continuing to breath heavy, ONLY FOR CONTI TO HIT A BRAZILIAN KICK!! PINS AND WINS!!
Tay Conti defeats Anna Jay (10:47)
Yuka Sakazaki vs. Mei Suruga (February 15th, Super 16)
Exclusively on AEW’s YouTube channel, “The Super 16” is presented live from the Ice Ribbon Dojo. Yuka Sakazaki is someone that AEW fans are familiar with from her various matches on PPV and Dynamite. Since her last AEW appearance she has added more muscle, she's expanded her moveset, and she lost TJPW's top title. Mei Suruga meanwhile is one the smallest and least experienced wrestler in the tournament, being one of Emi Sakura’s many students. She managed to get a clean one on one victory over Hikaru Shida right before Shida left Japan. She's a 21 year old prodigy who's status reaches beyond her experience level. She has Riho’s style mixed with Emi’s influence, for a brief summary. This is a high speed match up, a common style in Joshi, as the two women fly around each other with high risk offence. Yuka does a Springboard to the outside, over the guardrail to take Mei out for a good bit. She mounts a comeback and goes for a finisher to end it, but The Magical Girl reverses and pins to advance forward.
Yuka Sakazaki defeats Mei Suruga (08:46)
VENY vs. Emi Sakura (February 15th, Super 16)
VENY is someone some of you might know as Asuka. No not that Asuka, back in Japan WWE Asuka was known as Kana and the woman now called VENY is now known as Asuka. VENY is a favourite of mine. She can do damn near anything in the ring, she's extremely charismatic, and is in her prime as one of the top indie wrestlers in Japan."Veny" was supposed to debut in America during Wrestlemania weekend 2020, but the pandemic put a stop to that. This tournament is going to be her introduction to western fans. Meanwhile Emi Sakura is someone AEW fans probably know after her match with Riho at Full Gear. Since her last AEW appearance, she's been surviving the pandemic in her own little corner of the wrestling world by regularly producing Youtube wrestling shows(ChocoPro). In recent months, she's been slimming down to more of her natural weight which helps her with speed and her noted back problems. She’s now faster and better than when AEW fans last saw her. This is a technical match up with the two women indulging a game of wits, trading submissions and holds. She goes to use her new found quickness but VENY matches ever at that and puts her down to advance forward.
VENY defeats Emi Sakura (14:32)
Maki Itoh vs. Ryo Mizunami (February 15th, Super 16)
Maki Itoh is one of my favourite wrestlers right now and that’s not a joke. She’s the most popular wrestler in the field and someone that Joshi fans have been waiting to see crossover to the west more often for the last couple of years. She's insanely charismatic. She's a limited athlete, but she's an excellent storyteller and shines in singles matches. She’s only worked Mania weekend in the States so far but we’re hoping to see that change. Mizunami then has worked AEW before, but that was such a long time ago that AEW fans have probably forgotten her. She's a veteran with an extremely high level of charisma and she will chop the soul out of you. Primarily a brawler, but also has that charisma to work this kind of match. This is set to be our character matchup as Maki and Ryo square up, with Itoh crediting herself as “I AM DEITY OF SHIT”. She credits “Cornette-san” as her biggest fan. They then go at it. Ryo dominates Itoh until the comeback, when she catches Mizunami out of nowhere with a Flying Hurricanerana to win.
Maki Itoh defeats Ryo Mizunami (08:41)
Aja Kong vs. Rin Kadokura (February 15th, Super 16)
Main event of the evening and it’s looking like a doozy folks. First we have Aja Kong, easily the most legendary name in the tournament. She's 34 years into her career and still going. While we aren’t expecting to see the Kong that was battling Bull Nakano in the 90s, she is still a very smart veteran and she is still willing to taking some crazy bumps in the right occasion. She’s wrestled in both WWF (Survivor Series 1995) and AEW (Double or Nothing 2019) so she’s no stranger to the big stage. Rin meanwhile is most comparable to Shibata. She doesn't have a huge western fanbase, and she's not a big personality, but she's the Joshi version of "a wrestler's wrestler" and is capable of having the best match of the tournament. She comes Marvelous who are basically the Ring of Honor of Joshi. They are more physical and technically sound than TJPW or Ice Ribbon. Rin and Aja have a stiff and brutal matchup with terrifying strikes from the two women. Aja keeps kicking out of what’s thrown at her, not allowing to go down to a younger girl. Aja misses a Senton off the apron and hits the floor which allows Kadokura to win. Afterwards they hug as we fade to black.
Rin Kadokura defeats Aja Kong (15:22)
Quarter-Finals:
Riho vs. Tay Conti (February 24th, Dynamite)
Into the quarter finals we go as Revolution is fast approaching, and kicking it off is these two women. Both are top babyfaces, with Conti having just come out of her emotional war with Anna Jay and Riho suffering at the hands of Leyla Hirsch’s squad. They shake hands to begin and we’re set. Tay has expressed interest in wrestling in Japan before, so this is her forte into the Joshi world. Once everything’s back to normal I’d really like to see her hold the SWA World Championship in Stardom, and potentially face Riho again for it. Riho uses her speed to take Tay down, at one point dropkicking her off the apron and she falls into the guardrail, where Anna Jay sits. Anna looks at her coldly as Tay gets back up, ONLY TO BE HIT BY A BACKSTABBER BY RIHO! SHE COVERS AND WINS!! Riho advances forward to the semi-finals, while Conti stares back, equally as cold, at Anna Jay.
Riho defeats Tay Conti (07:01)
We see the third segment of Hikaru Shida in her tatami speaking of her story. She goes into detail about Corona hitting and being stuck in America, and how she felt about that. She says all that mattered then was the AEW Women’s World Championship. So much stuff was happening back home in Japan in the Joshi world (death of Hana Kimura), and she needed to topple The Beast, Nyla Rose. She describes the match, says it’s the most physical she’s ever been in, describing each painful bump and how after every move she was more worn down. But she refused to lose, and came out on top. Since then she’s carried this belt, and hadn’t dropped it. Despite the level of talent in the Super 16, no one has the talent to defeat her.
Abadon vs. Thunder Rosa (February 24th, Dynamite)
Last quarter final now, with the winner going on to face Riho in the semi’s. Thunder Rosa - having defeated Britt Baker, and Abadon - having defeated Nyla Rose. Abadon screams at Rosa to begin but she’s unphased, shouting back and the two meet forehead to forehead. They then start trading shots as the match begins. It spills outside where they continue to brawl messily. Abadon hits a Bloodline onto the floor followed by some biting. She goes for a Twist of Hate on the apron, but Rosa counters into a Cutter! They both sell before going back inside. Abadon runs for a Spear but when it’s leapfrogged, she hits a Headbutt and then runs the ropes again. She connects the Spead this time and covers, but it’s kicked out of. They go back outside where they fight up the ramp. Rosa dives with a Double Foot Stomp before they head up to the announce table. They fight there, and Rosa hits an Inverted DDT on it. Abadon rolls into the announcers chairs and lays there. Once back in, Rosa goes for a Snake Sleeper, but Abadon kicks her leg back and fights back. She throws Rosa into the ring post to bust her open. She calls for a Gravedigger, BUT ITS REVERSED INTO A FIRE THUNDER DRIVER!! ROSA PINS AND GOES TO SEMIS!!
Thunder Rosa defeats Abadon (16:11)
Maki Itoh vs. VENY (February 22nd, Super 16)
Heading into the Japan half of the quarter finals, we travel across the Pacific to the Ice Ribbon dojo once more. Itoh talks shit before the bell as VENY stands stone faced wondering what’s she did in a past life to be in the opposite corner of this. She goes to speak about Cornette-san once more but VENY cuts her off and the match has begun. She dominates the early stages until Maki out of nowhere counters a Suplex into a Falling DDT. She hits a Dropkick off the apron and VENY eats shit. Maki applies a Boston Crab, but VENY gets the ropes and flips Itoh out. She big boots her and is back on the offence. They take it to the apron where Itoh goes to pick VENY up, but VENY knocks her down and they roll back inside. Maki goes for a Ito Special but it’s reversed, and VENY goes for a Powerbomb. Itoh reverses that into a Itoh Royale, which is kicked out and they double down with stereo dropkicks. Maki climbs the top ropes for a Diving Headbutt, but VENY quickly runs up and hits a Superplex. She pins and wins to advance forward into the semis.
VENY defeats Maki Itoh (09:18)
Rin Kadokura vs. Yuka Sakazaki (February 22nd, Super 16)
Yuka runs around Rin to begin with, using her quickness to avoid being caught by any strikes or holds. This proves unsuccessful as after running the ropes for a Flying Shoulder Tackle, she’s hit with a stiff elbow in midair to knock Yuka down. This is the cut off as she dominates from this point forward. Rin goes for a Meteora from the middle ropes, BUT YUKA HITS A FRONT DROPKICK OUT OF MIDAIR!! She scales the top ropes and FLIES WITH A CROSSBODY!! KICK OUT! Yuka continues to run circles before taking Rin to the apron. She then jumps from inside, over the ropes, WITH A HURRICANERANA TO THE FLOOR!! The Magical Girl is back in action as she hits a Baseball Slide Dropkick into the railings. She rolls out to grab Kadokura but Rin throws her into the guardrails instead. She takes control back and does a Lala Histro Cradle into a Cross Armbreaker but Yuka gets a foot on the ropes. She manages to rally up for a huge flurry of offence to take Rin down and cover after a Magical Girl Splash, 1.......2......3! She’s going to the semi-finals where she will face VENY.
Yuka Sakazaki defeats Rin Kadokura (11:45)
We get a live performance from the Itoh Respect Army - Maki Itoh and Mizuki perform live in living colour a rock idol anthem. This gives Yuka a rest before the main event of the evening, the Semi-Finals match between Yuka Sakazaki and VENY. Itoh and Mizuki hype everyone up with the performance ahead of the big match, before the music stops and they leave. That’s when VENY walks out.
Semi-Finals:
VENY vs. Yuka Sakazaki (February 22nd, Super 16)
She walks down menacingly with pure seriousness on her face. There is no fucking around here. She’s winning this tournament. Yuka meanwhile is as happy as can be. Yuka high fives everyone and jumps down in joy. They shake hands, but immediately after the bell rings VENY immediately kicks Yuka down and dominates. Yuka is tired while VENY is relatively fresh having only wrestled the opener. She dominates until it heads to the outside. She goes to slam Yuka into the railings, but Sakazaki reverses and dumps her over. She then hits a Springboard Flying Seated Senton, over the railings, into VENY. She mounts her comeback and hits for the Magical Girl Splash, BUT ITS KICKED OUT OF! Yuka starts having to match VENY’s strikes, as once VENY starts laying them in, Yuka becomes impervious to pain and fights back with her own. It turns into a slugfest here, but after a Diving Double Foot Stomp from Yuka only gets two she’s out of options. VENY capitalises here and looks to finish with a Powerbomb, BUT ITS TURNED INTO A FRANKENSTEINER! MAGICAL GIRL SPLASH! YUKA IS GOING TO THE FINALS!!
Yuka Sakazaki defeats VENY (19:21)
On March 3rd, Dynamite, we see the final of Hikaru’s segment, starting with her rolling a suitcase while wearing a mask as she walks to her plane back to America. We go back to the tatami where she’s asked about Revolution, and what she thinks of Yuka Sakazaki. She speaks on her before being asked about Riho and Thunder Rosa. She speaks about Rosa and their feud, saying she’s beaten her before though at last years All Out. The interviewer asks about the All Out the year before that. Who did she face then. Did she win? Shida seems insulted by that but keeps going, saying Riho got the better of her. But while she’s spent the past year back home, she made a new home - AEW. And she is now the queen of that home, and no amount of Riho will stop.
Riho vs. Thunder Rosa (March 3rd, Dynamite)
We’ve reached our American semi-finals, and 5 days after Yuka Sakazaki’s defeat of VENY - Riho and Thuhder Rosa are set to main event Dynamite. On Saturday Night then, the day before Revolution, we will see the Super 16 Finals streamed on YouTube between Yuka Sakazaki and the winner of this match, with the winner going on to face Hikaru Shida at Revolution. The match starts physical and doesn’t slow down. They go to the mat straight away and trade submission attempts. Rosa then dominates until Riho counters out of a corner charge with a roll up only to get two. Rosa punishes Riho using the ring post. Riho fights back though as she flies off the apron and uses speed to keep Rosa down. She goes for a springboard but is caught midair. Rosa then starts to kick the shit out of Riho, striking her repeatedly. It spills to the floor where Riho mounts a comeback, utilising the ring post to her own advantage this time. With Rosa tied up in the post, Riho runs off the apron with a Double Foot Stomp to the back. It goes into back and forth inside the ring, before Riho flies out once more. Rosa is up first and sets up a table, before they go back inside. Commentary note the No DQ on the outside rule. RIHO HITS A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO ROSA OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TABLE!! They’re both out now, but while down, OUT COMES BRITT BAKER!! SHE HITS ROSA WITH A CHAIR! Riho doesn’t notice as she takes her back inside and covers to win! Britt walks off with a smile on her face, and waves at a fuming Rosa.
Riho defeats Thunder Rosa (23:41)
Finals:
Riho vs. Yuka Sakazaki (March 6th, Super 16)
The Magical Girl comes down happy as ever, high fiving and hugging fans and running circles around the ring in ecstasy. Riho then comes out in her signature dress and also with an umbrella with the Imperial Japanese Flag designed on it. Both women offer their hands to each other, and both embrace before locking up. A collar and elbow is engaged and maintained, Yuka breaks the chains by connecting a Dropkick, followed by another Basement Dropkick! Riho ducks a Lariat attempt and runs the ropes, performing a dizzying array of spins before landing the Tornado DDT! 1.....2....Yuka kicks out! Yuka runs the ropes and hits a Seated Senton in the centre of the ring. She goes for a cover but Riho kicks out. Riho takes Yuka down with a Half Crab. Yuka winces in pain and cries in agony but throws Riho off her leg. Yuka then hits a Slingblade and rolls to the outside.
Riho connects a Baseball Slide Dropkick through the both ropes, before lifting Yuka up and hitting an incredible Deadlift Suplex into the middle of the ring. Excalibur makes note of Riho being 98 lbs so that feat of strength is truly incredible. Yuka connects an Enziguri and begins a Three Amigos. Riho flips out of the last one and hits a Roundhouse Kick followed by Double Foot Stomp! She covers, 1.......2....Kick Out! Riho seems annoyed at this and takes Yuka to the corner. They trade elbows for a bit before Yuka swaps them around and hits a Roundhouse Kick! She then takes Riho to the top turnbuckle. Yuka attempts to hit a Avalanche Butterfly Suplex, but Riho doesn’t move. Riho shoves Yuka onto the apron and Yuka grabs her back in pain. Riho then hits a Diving Double Foot Stomp onto the apron! That receives a holy shit chant as Riho throws her back into the ring and goes to cover.
Yuka rolls into a Fujiwara Armbar! She channels her inner Zack Sabre Jr. and begins to stomp on Riho’s head as she has the submission locked in. Riho rolls forward into a School Boy but Yuka kicks out. Yuka rolls back but is met by a Basement Dropkick! Riho then hits a Northern Lights Suplex! She goes to cover but Yuka rolls out. Yuka whips Riho to the apron. She hits a Dragon Screw on the ropes and connects a Baseball Slide Dropkick! Yuka goes for a Half and Half Suplex on the apron, but Riho gets out and hits a Belly to Back Suplex! Right on the hardest part of the ring as Yuka sells the pain. Riho rolls back into the ring, but is met by a Springboard Front Missile Dropkick by Yuka! Yuka then heads to the top ropes and does a magical pose, Diving Double Foot Stomp! 1........2.....KICK OUT!!! Yuka is now desperate and decides, “fuck it”, and begins a frenzy of attacks.
Any and everything used. Yuka hits a Running Meteora! She goes for another but Riho catches with an Enziguri and then hits a Running Double Foot Stomp! She picks Yuka up and hits a German Suplex but Yuka lands on her feet; Half and Half Suplex! Yuka hits a Slingblade and begins a series of Daniel Bryan like Roundhouses, with a few yes chants thrown in from the audience. She keeps going until Riho ducks one and hits a Bicycle Knee! Yuka responds with a Bicycle Kick! Riho hits an Impaler DDT!!! She gets the crowd going and goes for an Exploder Suplex, but Yuka counters into a Backbody Drop! Yuka then hits the Exploder Suplex followed by a Pendelum Kick! She takes Riho to the top ropes and goes for an Avalanche Butterfly Suplex! RIHO COUNTERS MIDAIR IN A ROLL UP!! 1......2.....3!!!! Riho is going to face Hikaru Shida tomorrow night for the AEW Women’s World Championship!
Riho defeats Yuka Sakazaki (10:17)
AEW Revolution 2021:
Anna Jay vs. Britt Baker vs. Tay Conti vs. Thunder Rosa - Four-way Match
AEW’s Women’s International Eliminator Tournament has come and gone, and with it many women have some grudges held. Thunder Rosa was cost the semi-finals with Riho after Britt Baker interference. This is of course, due to Rosa beating Britt in the First Round. Also, Anna Jay and Tay Conti faced in the First Round where Conti was successful. That drove a wedge between them as we’ve seen. There is enough tension where we need a resolution, and so they’re all put into a match together - whoever is the best comes out on top. The Four-way is made for Revolution, with the winner set to be Shida or Riho’s next challenger in the coming weeks. However before the match, we see Brandi Rhodes come out for the first time in 2 months. She has a mic in hand and says that two years ago there was a similar multi-women match set. That was the during the genesis of AEW. A three-way became a four-way. Now we know how talented of a roster the AEW Women’s Division is, but what if it could be blustered?
Well she’s got the perfect solution to that. How could she make this match even more stacked however? Easy answer, add another women. But not just any women...a Virtuosa. So with a little helping hand, she’s secured someone to really put up a fight. Outcomes Deonna Purazzo. The current Knockouts Champion makes her way out and joins the fray. The crowd applaud loudly at the surprise arrival, as this match is now made a Five-way. Immediately the beefing girls go for each other, Britt and Rosa and Tay and Anna. Deonna meanwhile just picks people off, playing it smart and looking for the win. She’s not fuelled by animosity like the rest, she is just being intelligent. We see the rest of the women all take themselves out to the point Britt turns around into a Jumping DDT and Fujiwara Armbar. She taps out and Purazzo wins the match. She takes the mic afterwards and hoists her Knockouts Championship high. “Who’s ready for a Battle of the Belts?” she says before leaving.
Deonna Purazzo defeats Anna Jay, Britt Baker, Tay Conti and Thunder Rosa (11:17)
Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Riho - AEW Women’s World Championship
We’ve seen the whole tournament so far and the mini-doc of Hikaru Shida. It’s the first majorly built AEW Women’s Championship PPV match...ever, so it’s got some expectations on its shoulders. Shida walks out wearing her attire from the AEW video game trailer, pointed out by Excalibur. Riho is just coming off a match from last night while Shida hasn’t wrestled in nearly a month, so she is fully in control early on. She busts out some early signature moves so the audience get a groove of her once more since it’s been a minute. They go outside where Riho starts to come back and from there it’s back and forth. They recreate the finishing sequence that won it for Riho last time, ending with Riho getting a roll up originally, but this time Shida kicks out! They then keep going as Riho kicks out of a few more moves by Hikaru. Riho goes for a Diving Double Foot Stomp, but she’s hit midair and then by a Tamashii no Three Count! KICK OUT!! They keep fighting as Riho once more tries for the finishing sequence that won it for her last time, but this time it ends when Shida lifts her into a Falcon Arrow! 1..............2..............3!! She wins and retains!
Hikaru Shida defeats Riho (14:56)
We now head into the build for Double or Nothing. However we aren’t all building towards that. See, it’s announced at Revolution a supercard of supercards is set for April 4th. The “Bloodshed Supercard” is coming up, pitting stars from AEW, NJPW, NWA and Impact against one another. The big match advertised is a Lethal Lockdown Match: pitting Kenny Omega, The Good Brothers and Kenta against Jon Moxley and Death Triangle. But also set for the show, we’ll get into detail here. Deonna Purazzo is now the #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Championship, and an appearance by her is advertised for the Dynamite after Revolution. She shows up and cuts a typical promo of hers on Hikaru, claiming herself the one true Virtuosa and hyping her credentials. These outmatch everything Shida has ever done, and when they face, she’ll truly outmatch her for all to see.
The match is dubbed “Battle of the Belts” after AEW trademarked that. Knockouts Champion vs. AEW Women’s World Champion. Next week Shida goes to speak, but she’s cut off by Deonna. Purazzo attacks her and beats down the rival champion. She tells Shida she should of stayed in Japan, because now she’s crossed the Pacific she’s in HER country. The Virtuosa runs the place here, and she is going to cement herself as the best champion in the entire country - nay, the world. Later in the night when asked about how she felt of the attack, Hikaru says “Next Tuesday. Impact Wrestling. Watch me.” before leaving. Then, on Impact, we see Hikaru come out after a Ten-person Knockouts Tag Team Match. She looks around with her title, and walks over to the captain of the winning team, Kiera Hogan. She shakes her hand and points back and forth between the two. Kiera vs. Shida is sanctioned for next week on Impact.
They face, but due to Hikaru now being in Deonna’s house, she makes her presence known with an attack. Part of rebuilding the Women’s division is other feuds need to exist in it, so let’s touch on those. Firstly, Leyla Hirsch and her new stable, dubbing themselves “Bloodsport” have made an enemy out of Riho. The two face with the stipulation that the winner will face Serena Deeb for the NWA Women’s Championship. Hirsch wins after making Riho tap. Then in her match with Deeb, a returning Allysin Kay comes out and interferes. Deeb rolls up with her distraction. Leyla doesn’t attack Kay however. After all, she was the fourth women in that Bloodsport tournament along with Hirsch, Kelly and Snow. They offer her a spot but Allysin declines and says she just wants that NWA Women’s Championship back. A Three-way then is made, which ends with Kay pinning Deeb. She gets her title back, and afterwards, offers an embrace to Hirsch. Snow and Kelly get her to accept.
Bloodsport pose together with Allysin Kay now in their rankings, but tension between her and Hirsch is clear after Kay just took the title she’s been craving for weeks. However, they’re now a unit. Also, Anna Jay and Tay Conti. Anna takes a leadership role in The Dark Order as her and Conti slowly start patching things up. They both agree they got lost in the tournament and were drunk off the thought of glory. They hug it out and walk out together. Then, Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker. The first thing we see on Dynamite after Revolution is Thunder Rosa brutalising Britt Baker. She destroys her. She kayfabe reinjures her and puts her back on crutches. Britt doesn’t wrestle after this but has a vendetta against Rosa, and Rosa is likewise. The women all have feuds, with only one revolving around the title, and they actually get TV time on Dynamite. It’s basically just what AEW do with the guys, but the gender is changed. That’s literally how you do women’s wrestling.
Bloodshed Supercard:
Deonna Purrazzo vs. Hikaru Shida - Battle of the Belts
The singles match main event of the show, it’s the heavily anticipated “Battle of the Belts.” Shida is out first, wearing a kimono and carrying her own umbrella to the ring. She twirls it around at the hard camera in a optical illusion before walking down. Deonna is out afterwards and the Virtuosa walks with purpose, hoisting her title over Shida’s head. Hikaru hoists hers up and they meet forehead to forehead. The match the begins. Shida and Deonna trade goods and submissions on the mat before it goes outside and gets physical there. Purrazzo uses the guardrails and ring posts, before taking it to the apron. Shida hits her with a Superkick and runs the ropes inside the ring, dropkicking Purrazzo into part of the set. Once back up they have some stiff back and forth with a lot of shots and strikes to knock the other down. Both women keep kicking out however. We see many moments when Hikaru looks like she’s about to tap but resists and keeps fighting. They head outside once again where Deonna hits a Backbody Drop onto the floor. Once back inside, Shida hits a Falcon Arrow into a Tamashii no Three Count to win. Afterwards her and Deonna resiliently shake hands in respect.

Heading out of Bloodshed Supercard, Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa are still battling it out. Britt is set to return to action on the April 14th edition of Dynamite, where she will face Rosa in a No Disqualification, No Countout Match. It’s a brutal bout with Britt showing the aggression she did in her Tooth and Nail Match on Rosa. She ends up winning after a chairshot and kendo stick assisted Lockjaw makes Rosa pass out. Meanwhile, Hikaru Shida continues her trail of dominance over the AEW Women’s division. She’s earned the respect of Deonna Purazzo’s who’s gonna back off to Impact. Shida cuts a promo in English after the match saying she wants more of the Knockouts, and they are an amazing group of girls. She once again faces Kiera Hogan, this time on Dynamite, with interference banned. They have a clean bout that ends with Shida once again winning. They shake hands afterwards. This is Hogan’s first AEW match and she makes a big splash, but comes up short.
Next in line is Nyla Rose, who is still with Vickie Guerrero but their relationship is going very sour. Nonetheless, as we approach a year after Hikaru took the belt from Nyla, they’re set to face one more - this time it’s 2 Out of 3 Falls. It’s an excellent bout that ends with Shida winning by falling onto Nyla after the two basically kill themselves. Nyla the next week cuts a promo on Shida, saying she wants one final shot, and if she loses - she will never challenge for the title while Shida is champion again. This is when Britt Baker gets involved and puts her stamp on the picture. She limps down on a crutch as that match with Rosa as temporarily hurt her again. She cuts a mini promo of her own, before blasting Nyla with the crutch. A #1 Contenders Match is set up, with the winner going on to face Hikaru at Double or Nothing.
Britt wins after a very hard fought and brutal contest. Afterwards, Tony Schiavone comes out and reads a letter from Brandi. She congratulates both women on the incredible match. She then announces Nyla as the first women to take part in the AEW Women’s Casino Ladder Match at Double or Nothing. In the final weeks before Double or Nothing, Britt cuts some very passionate promos about the struggle she’s went through to even become a wrestler, and as soon as she became the best thing in this company she was injured. But this time, nothing is going to stop her. She’s not going to be hindered by dentistry, not by trying to being a good guy, and not by injury. She will be victorious. Reba is banned from ringside, as if she gets involved Britt automatically loses. Baker is now fuelled by anger as she wants to take down the unstoppable Hikaru Shida.
Then, our other stories. Well the premier one is the aforementioned Women’s Casino Ladder Match. Once more it’s decided there’s too much beef amongst the AEW Women’s division, so Tony Khan’s solution is to throw nine of them into a ladder match, and whoever isn’t dead by the end gets an AEW Women’s Championship shot. And just like last time, there will be a mystery participant. Women gradually get announced via AEW’s Twitter, with Nyla Rose as the first on TV before they slowly start adding names to the field, like they did last year. Anna Jay and Tay Conti are announced together, Serena Deeb, Leyla Hirsch, Riho etc. Thunder Rosa and Abadon face once more after their epic match in the Super 16. Abadon hits a Spear into part of the stage which takes them both out and it goes to a double countout. Both women are then put into the match, with the ninth women remaining a mystery.
Double or Nothing 2021:
Abadon vs. Anna Jay vs. Leyla Hirsch vs. Nyla Rose vs. Riho vs. Serena Deeb vs. Tay Conti vs. Thunder Rosa vs. ??? - Women’s Casino Ladder Match
Serena Deeb and Nyla Rose start it off hot, Nyla trying to dominate but Deeb using her strength to counteract. Tay Conti comes in and her and Deeb come to a babyface arrangement to take the big women down. Thunder Rosa follows suit and starts to mix it up with everyone. Leyla Hirsch, Anna Jay, Riho and Abadon all come out and continue the fight. It’s multi-man chaos, with each women sabotaging the other from getting that poker chip. They all want the prize. Killer Kelly at one point tries to walk down and help out Hirsch, but Riho valiantly takes her on and brawls with her to the back. She then dives off the stage with a Crossbody into Lindsay Snow and Killer Kelly. Allysin Kay comes out and puts her through a part of the stage to take her out.
Riho comes back, freshly bruised by Kay, and looks to climb the ladder, but Anna Jay pushes her down. She then starts to taunt and mock the 9th and final entrant while she waits for them to appear...and it’s RETURNING KRIS STATLANDER! Statlander comes in and wrecks house; takes out all the people involved while the action continues. Abadon lets out a mighty scream as she goes to climb the ladder. Tay and Anna push her off and meet at the top. They then start throwing shots at each other. They all fall under Thunder Rosa pushes them off and climbs up, grabbing the poker chip and holding it high it in triumph. She now with a future AEW Women’s World Championship match locked in. She takes the mic and tells Hikaru “good luck - you’ll need it.” before dropping it and heading to the back.

Both women put their heart and soul into the match, pouring every last bit of fight they’ve got in. Britt gets a Lockjaw in near the end and refuses to let go when Shida grabs the ropes. The ref has to physically pull her off, ONLY FOR SHIDA TO HIT ONE FINAL TAMASHII NO THREE COUNT!! She pins and wins.

All Out 2019: The Main Card - Part 2
Match 5: AEW Women’s Championship no. 1 Contenders Match: Hikaru Shida vs Britt Baker vs Riho vs Bea Priestley
The four women stand off in the center of the ring to start the match, with the winner set to face Mercedes Martinez on the first episode of Dynamite to determine the inaugural AEW Women’s Champion. Baker goes right after Priestley to begin the match, as the two have been feuding over the past few months, and Shida goes after Riho in the confusion. Baker and Priestley spill to the outside while Shida and Riho mix it up in the ring. Riho manages to take down Shida with a drop kick, and turn around and DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES TO TAKE OUT BAKER AND PRIESTLEY ON THE OUTSIDE. Riho throws Britt into the ring pole before going after Bea, but Priestly hits Riho back into the ring to start beating down on her. Shida rushes over and goes after Priestley, and the two lock up and go back and forth trading punches. Shida takes advantage and locks Priestley in a headlock, and Baker recovers and climbs to the top turnbuckle from outside the ring. Shida holds her up and Britt takes out Priestley with a missile drop kick.
Priestley rolls out of the ring and Shida and Baker go at it, going back and forth trading strikes. Baker takes out her knees and forces Shida down to the mat to put her in the lock jaw submission, but Riho runs over to break it up. Riho pulls Baker up, puts her in a headlock and runs up the turnbuckle to hit her with a tornado DDT. Riho climbs onto the turnbuckle and hits a moonsault on Baker and goes for the pin, but Priestley rushes in to break it up. Bea throws Riho out of the ring and covers Baker herself, but Britt kicks out. Bea starts laying in punches to Britt’s head, busting her open, until Shida runs over and takes Priestley down with a knee strike. Shida goes to work on Priestley and tries to lock her in an armbar, but Bea fights out of it. Britt gets up and tries to help Shida against Bea, but all 3 women turn around and ARE TAKEN OUT BY A CROSSBODY FROM RIHO FROM THE TOP ROPES. Riho snuck up there while no one was looking and delivered the biggest move of the match. Riho sets up Bea for a running knee and nails it on her, and goes for the cover, but Baker breaks it up. She locks in the lock jaw on Riho but Shida breaks it up before she can submit. Shida clears the ring and picks up Baker and NAILS HER WITH THE FALCON ARROW. She pins her 1-2-3!!! Hikaru Shida wins the 4-Way match and is the new no. 1 contender for the Women’s Championship.
Shida poses in the ring and celebrates her victory following the match but MERCEDES MARTINEZ RUNS IN AND ATTACKS HER FROM BEHIND. Martinez won the Casino Battle Royale in the Buy In and will face Shida on the first episode of Dynamite for the inaugural AEW Women’s Championship, but right here, she is looking to send a message to her new opponent. Martinez picks up Shida and NAILS HER WITH A FISHERMAN BUSTER and stands tall over Hikaru heading into their match on Dynamite in October.
Match 6: “The American Nightmare” Cody vs “The Chairman” Shawn Spears In what is undoubtedly the most personal of the matches on the All Out card, Cody and Shawn Spears’ tensions finally blow over as the two former friends finally meet one on one in the ring. Spears is walked down to the ring by Tully Blanchard, and out of all of his entourage, Cody picks his protege MJF to escort him to the ring.
Cody makes his entrance second and dives to the outside of the ring at Spears before the match begins. The two break out into a brawl into the crowd and Tully goes to grab Cody from behind, but MJF pulls him off and the two get into a skirmish. Cody and Shawn brawl through the crowd and work their way back into the ring. Spears gets the upper hand on Cody and screams at the referee to call for the bell so the match can finally begin. Spears throws Cody into the turnbuckle, climbs on top of him and starts nailing him with punches, but Cody snaps awake, grabs Spears by the pants and powerbombs him onto the mat. Speas climbs on top of Cody and starts unloading punches on him right in the face before putting him in a headlock. Cody fights up to his feet and hits Spears with an atomic drop before jumping on the ropes and hitting him with a cutter. Cody stays on offense and locks Spears in a figure four leg lock, trying to force him to tap out, but Shawn crawls to the ropes and gets a break.
Blanchard leaves his belt laying on the apron and jumps onto the apron across the ring to distract the referee. Spears grabs it and nails Cody in the stomach with it before wrapping it around his throat and choking his former friend out. MJF climbs into the ring to pull the belt away, and Spears releases the hold and takes down Max with a big boot. He picks up Cody and goes to hit him with a death valley driver, but Cody lands on his feet and takes down Spears with a spinebuster. Both men are down and slowly get back up to their feet and start trading chops in the middle of the ring. Cody gets a second wind and starts unloading on Spears. Cody goes to hit him with a Cross Roads and slowly drapes his arm over him for the cover and 1-2- Spears gets his foot on the ropes to break the pinfall. Cody climbs to the top turnbuckle to hit a moonsault on Spears as he gets to his feet but SHAWN SHOVES THE REFEREE INTO THE ROPES TO KNOCK CODY OFF. Cody falls backwards into the ring and Spears hits him with the death valley driver. Blachard pushes a steel chair into the ring with the referee out and Spears goes to hit Cody in the head with it like he did at Fyter Fest. MJF grabs the chair and faces off with Cody against Spears and Blanchard. Cody steps forward and MJF HITS HIM IN THE BACK WITH THE STEEL CHAIR. Cody turns around to face him and MJF breaks the chair over his head. Cody falls to the mat lifelessly and Blanchard wakes up the referee to count the pinfall. 1-2-3! Shawn Spears defeats Cody and the crowd is in shock.
Cody rolls out of the ring and Brandi and Dustin rush out to check on him and MJF joins Blanchard and Spears in celebration in the ring. MJF and Spears flip off Cody as they head to the back. Fans throw trash and a beer hits MJF as they head to the top of the entrance ramp, but it doesn’t matter as they are looking forward to a fruitful friendship as two of the top heels in AEW.
Match 7: The Young Bucks vs The Lucha Bros in a Ladder Match for the AAA Tag Team Championships
In a rematch from Double or Nothing, the Lucha Bros put their AAA tag team championships on the line against the Young Bucks in a ladder match. The two teams square off against each other in the ring and quickly go back and forth exchanging moves and kicks, however, the match quickly spills to the outside of the ring, where they are surrounded by ladders. The Lucha Bros hit a double superkick on Matt Jackson before doing the same to Nick, and picking him up and hitting him WITH A BUCKLE BOMB INTO A LADDER. Nick falls to the ground and the two turn their attention to Matt, however, he has picked up a ladder and rams both Lucha Bros with it, taking them both down. Matt jumps up on the ring apron and hits a moonsault on Pentagon back onto the outside of the ring, before attempting to hit a superkick on Fenix.
Rey catches Matt’s foot and attempts to flip him over, but Jackson lands on his feet and hits Fenix with a superkick on the second attempt. Matt gets up Nick and the two load a ladder into the ring and try to win the match early on. Pentagon and Fenix recover and rush into the ring, pulling both of the bucks off the ladder. They hit both men with hurricaranas sending them into the ropes and hit each man with a stereo 619 before leaping on the ropes and hitting both of them with a frog splash. They throw Nick out of the ring and focus on Matt, with Pentagon lifting him up and hitting him with a package piledriver, setting up Fenix for a 450 Splash off the top ropes. The Lucha Bros set up another ladder and try to retrieve their titles, however, Nick bring in a ladder from outside the ring and pushes the standing ladder down. The Luchas jump off the ladder as it falls and Nick hits Pentagon with the ladder before being hit by a drop kick from Fenix. Rey jumps up on the turnbuckle and hits a moonsault onto Nick, but stands up only to be HIT WITH A SUPERKICK BY MATT JACKSON. Matt helps Nick up to his feet and they set up Fenix for a Meltzer Driver.
Nick goes to jump over the ropes and hit it, but Pentagon grabs him by his feet from outside and pulls him down onto the apron. Fenix gets out of the tombstone position and hits Matt with a standing drop kick. Pentagon sets up a table on the outside of the ring to powerbomb Nick through, but Jackson fights out of move and sets Pentagon head first into the ring post. Nick gets back into the ring, hits Fenix with a drop kick and tries to set a ladder up again to retrieve the titles. Nick and Fenix meet at the top of the ladder and start trading punches. Fenix gets the upper hand and punches Nick off the ladder but Matt grabs Fenix from behind and powerbombs him onto the mat. Matt climbs the ladder himself and goes to retrieve the titles, but PENTAGON GETS BACK INTO THE RING AND TIPS THE LADDER OVER. Matt goes over the ropes and crashes onto the table on the outside of the ring. Pentagon and Fenix add insult to injury by hitting Nick Jackson with a Meltzer Driver, their own finisher, and Pentagon and Fenix set up the ladder one last time and retrieve the title belts. The Lucha Bros defeat the Young Bucks.
Following the match, two men in masks rush out to the ring and attack the Lucha Bros. One of the men hits Fenix with a cutter while the other sets up Pentagon and they double team him to TAKE OUT PENTA WITH A HART ATTACK. The two men take off their masks and reveal themselves as Santana and Ortiz of Proud and Powerful. They turn their attention to the Bucks and hit them each with a powerbomb followed by a frog splash combination. They drape a Puerto Rican Flag over their bodies in the ring and stand tall over the top of the AEW Tag Team Division.
Match 8: Chris Jericho vs “Hangman” Adam Page for the AEW World Championship
In the main event of the evening, Chris Jericho faces off against Adam Page to become the inaugural AEW World Champion. Jericho, the near 30 year veteran of the business, faces off against the up and coming Page, in a great and historic generation versus generation clash. Bret ‘the Hitman’ Hart comes out to ringside to present the AEW Championship to the winner.
The two circle each other in the ring before locking up, and the more seasoned Jericho gets off to an early advantage. Jericho overpowers Hangman, throws him down to the mat and begins taunting him. Page gets angry and goes after Jericho, and clotheslines him to the outside of the ring. Jericho stumbles but gets up to his feet, but PAGE TAKES HIM OUT WITH A MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE. Page stays on offense and throws Jericho into the ringpost, busting him open over his left eye. The doctors run over to check on Jericho, pausing the match and further frustrating Page. Hangman goes over to go after Jericho, BUT HE WAS PUSHES AWAY THE DOCTORS AND HITS PAGE WITH A JUDAS EFFECT OUTSIDE THE RING. Page drops to the ground and Jericho rolls him back into the ring. Chris locks Page in the Walls of Jericho submission and tries to force Page to tap, but Adam crawls to the ropes and gets a break.
Jericho tries to stay on offense and goes to hit Page with a Code Breaker, but Page catches Jericho and lifts him onto his shoulders and SLAMS HIM ONTO THE MAT WITH A POWERBOMB. Page climbs on top of Jericho and keeps punching him in the forehead, trying to bust open his cut even more. The referee pull Page off of him and Hangman goes to the ring apron and sets up Jericho for a Buckshot Lariat. Page nails Jericho with it, but the veteran Jericho rolls out of the ring to avoid being covered. Page follows him out and Jericho elbows him in the gun and grabs Page by the hair, throwing him into the ring post. Jericho walks over to Bret Hart and flips him off before he rolls Hangman back into the ring and hits him with a Judas Effect, despite his impaired vision. He covers him 1-2- Page gets his foot on the ropes to break the cover. Jericho drags Page to the center of the ring and locks him in the Walls of Jericho again.

Adam lands on the ring apron and sets Jericho up for a Buckshot and nails him with it, and goes for the cover, 1-2- JERICHO KICKS OUT!!!. Page is in disbelief that he still can’t put Jericho away. He attempts one more buckshot, but Jericho dodges this one and locks up Page from behind and tries to hit him with a backslide pin. Page rolls through it, stands up and goes for a lariat but WALKS INTO A JUDAS EFFECT FROM JERICHO. Chris covers Hangman and 1-2-3!!! Chris Jericho defeats Adam Page to become the new AEW World Champion.
The referee Aubrey Edwards holds up Jericho’s arm in victory as Bret Hart climbs into the ring to present him with the title.

He slowly walks back up the entrance ramp and turns around to face the crowd and pose with the World Title as All Out comes to a close. AEW now is Jericho.

It all goes down tonight! Who do you have winning? what will change? will there be surprises or debuts? Use this thread for speculation, live chat and discussion after.

With the news that Shanna will returning to AEW this week, it reminded me of Bea Priestley and Sadie Gibbs, the two women who were released a few months ago after experiencing similar travel issues due to COVID-19.
I only started watching AEW in May, and they were both gone before that, but I did recently use YouTube to find the Casino Battle Royale from last year's "All Out" Buy-In and was impressed with what I saw from these two women in the ring.
With Shanna now back and the three other women on the roster who were impacted (Riho, Emi Sakura, Yuka Sakazaki) possibly following in the not-too-distant future, I was wondering if Bea or Sadie might get re-signed if they are allowed to return to the U.S.
Also - Awesome Kong was in that battle royal, and I heard that she had to leave AEW to help with an upcoming season of "G.L.O.W." on Netflix, but that was a long time ago, and I would think she could be back soon as well.

One year to the date after the first ever All In, the newly formed AEW holds their 4th overall show and final pay per view before the launch of their weekly television show in October, ALL OUT 2019. Emanating from the Sears Center in Chicago, Illinois, AEW looks to once again put on a show of the year contender, and announce to the world that there is a new player in town, and the pro wrestling revolution has begun.
Build to All Out
At the young company’s first ever show, Double or Nothing in May, Chris Jericho and “Hangman” Adam Page each won matches to earn a shot at being the inaugural AEW World Champion, with their match for the gold set to take place in the Main Event of the show. As a special feature, Bret “the Hitman” Hart will be at ringside to present the championship belt to the winner, just as he did when he presented it to the world at Double or Nothing.
All Out will also play host to two women’s matches to determine the contenders for the inaugural AEW Women’s Championship, with the finals set to take place on the Inaugural episode of Dynamite. On the Buy In, an all Women’s Casino Battle Royale will be held to determine one competitor, and on the main show a 4-Way between Hikaru Shida, Riho, Britt Baker and Bea Priestley will determine the second contender.
Originally, the “best bout machine” Kenny Omega was set to have a grudge match with Jon Moxley, the man who attacked him and Jericho after the main event of Double or Nothing. However, after Moxley had to pull out of the match up due to an elbow injury sustained during the G1 tournament in Japan, Kenny Omega will face off against his replacement, making his AEW debut, “the Bastard” PAC in a singles match.
With the announcement of the AEW Tag Team Tournament, Trent and Chuck Taylor of the Best Friends will take on Evil Uno and Stu Grayson of the Dark Order to determine which team gets a first round bye in the tournament.
Also on the show, after being turned on and attacked by his former best friend, Cody will face off against Shawn Spear in a singles match. The two were once tag team partners and started out their careers together in the late 2000s. However, after taking offense to some things Cody said in an interview after joining AEW, Shawn decided to turn on his friend to prove he was far more than just a “good hand”. Spears will have the legendary Tully Blanchard in his corner for the match, and Cody is only allowed one escort for the match, but who will he bring to even the odds?
We also have a big four way match up set to take place in the “first ever” Cracker Barrel Clash, as Darby Allin, Joey Janela, Jimmy Havoc and Sammy Guevara will face off, with each man hoping to score a big win on the biggest stage of their young careers. In addition to that, the winner of this match will also receive the distinguished honor of facing Cody on the first edition of Dynamite in the inaugural match to kick off the show.
In addition to those, the show is capped off by three stacked tag team matches. On the Buy In, Private Party will face off against Hybrid 2. On the main card, the veteran team of SCU will face off against the younger Jurassic Express, set to be a great battle of youth vs experience, and in a rematch from Double or Nothing, the AAA Tag Team Championships will be on the line in a Ladder Match, as the Young Bucks will once again face off against the Lucha Bros.

ALL OUT 2019: The Buy-In
Match 1
Kicking off the show, we have the Women’s Casino Battle Royale, with the “Clubs” starting off the match, with Nyla Rose, Priscilla Kelly, Leva Bates, Shazza McKenzie and Willow Nightingale all starting the match.
All 5 of them have a stand off before four of the women all give each other a look and rush the much larger Nyla Rose. They all gang up on her and push her back into a corner, kicking Nyla in the gut until ROSE SHOVES ALL OFF THEM BACK. Nyla grabs Leva by the hair and throws her over the ropes, but “the Librarian” Peter Avalon catches her on the outside. Avalon lays out books for Leva to help her walk back to the ring without touching the floor, as Rose clears out the ring. Nyla grabs McKenzie by the hair and throws her over the ropes, and Priscilla Kelly runs up and tries to hit Nyla from behind. She grabs Kelly by the throat and chokeslams her over the ropes before facing off with Willow. Nightingale tackles Nyla against the ropes and gets a few shots in on her, but Nyla grabs her by the legs and throws her over the ropes. Leva and Avalon both get in the ring but Peter tries to help Leva eliminate Nyla, but Rose takes them both down with a double close line and throws both of them out of the ring. Rose has eliminated all 4 other women as the clock counts down.
The Diamonds enter the match next and Awesome Kong leads the women out, flanked by her friend Brandi Rhodes, as well as Penelope Ford, Big Swole and Sadie Gibbs. All five climb into the ring, and Kong and Rose have a stare off in the ring as the crowd goes crazy. They engage in a punching match and the more experienced Kong gets the advantage and pushes Rose up against the ropes. Kong bounces off the ropes and goes to eliminate her with a clothesline, but Nyla HITS A SPEAR ON KONG AND BOTH WOMEN GO DOWN. The other four take advantage and try to fight with themselves, but ultimately, none of them are eliminated as the clock counts down.
The Spades come out third, led by Tenille Dashwood, Ivelisse, Kris Statlander, Allie and a surprise entrant, Aja Kong. The 5 women climb in the ring and start mixing it up with the others, and Aja Kong, Awesome Kong and Nyla Rose all meet in the center and the 3 powerhouses unload on eachother. Kong and Kong work together and eliminate the younger and more spry Nyla, before turning on each other and starting to attack. Brandi tries to aid Awesome Kong, but Aja kicks her in the head and sends Brandi tumbling over the ropes, and Awesome Kong eliminates Aja out of rage. The other women all rush over and work together to eliminate her too, and all 3 powerhouse are out as the clock winds down again.
The “Hearts” are last, with Jazz, ODB, Teal Piper, Nicole Savoy and Christy Jaynes come out as the final entrants before the Joker. The five women rush the ring and go ham trying to eliminate as many women as they can. Gibbs is quickly thrown out by Jazz, and Big Swole is sent over the ropes from a drop kick by Jaynes. Ivelliese and Piper mix it up, and Ivellise eliminates her, but ODB runs up and clotheslines her over the ropes immediately after. Statlander throws ODB over the ropes after that, and as the clock winds down, 5 women remain: Jazz, Statlander, Allie, Ford and Jaynes.
The clock winds down and the Joker is revealed as….. MERCEDES MARTINEZ!!! The veteran wrestler rushes down to the ring and goes right after Jazz, the biggest name in the ring. The two mix it up and Martinez takes her down with a standing drop kick. Jaynes runs up to hit her from behind but she punches Christy in the jaw before throwing her over the ropes. Allie and Ford try to double team her, but Mercedes eliminates both of them, leaving 3 women remaining. Mercedes and Jazz stand off in the middle of the ring and go back and forth trading blows. Jazz gets the upper hand, but Statlander runs up behind her and THROWS JAZZ OVER THE ROPES. We are down to two. Kris grabs Mercedes by the hair and tries to throw her over the ropes, but Martinez fights off Statlander and HEADBUTTS HER IN THE FOREHEAD. Martinez hits her with a lariat before grabbing Kris by the hair and trunks and THROWS HER OVER THE ROPES. Mercedes Martinez wins the Casino Battle Royale and will challenge for the Women’s Championship on the premiere of Dynamite.
Match 2
Following the Battle Royale, we have some tag team action coming up, with the young up and coming team Marq Quinn and Isaiah Cassidy of Private Party facing off against the veteran team of Jack Evans and Angelico of Hybrid 2, with both teams looking to pick up their first wins in AEW.
Angelico faces off against Isaiah Cassidy to start the match and the two lock up to start off the match. Angelico gets the advantage to start the match and uses his superior size to try and ground the high flying Cassidy, however, Isaiah uses his speed to break out of his hold and get the upper hand. Evans tags in and taunts Cassidy, baiting him into charging at him and Jack dodges it and NAILS CASSIDY WITH A KICK TO THE HEAD. Quinn tags himself into the match and he and Evans go back and forth bouncing off the ropes and reversing flips on eachother, until Quinn manages to take down Jack with a crossbody. Marq tags out to Isaiah and the two start double teaming Evans, until Jack manages to get off a double drop kick on both men and work back to his corner.
Angelico tags in and takes down both members of Private Party with a double clothesline. He tosses Quinn out of the ring and goes back to working on Cassidy. He drags Isaiah back to his corner and he and Evans tag in and out of the match to double team Cassidy. They beat down the young upstart wrestler, however, Cassidy manages to fight out of their attacks and NAILS ANGELICO WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD. Both men slowly crawl to their corners to make a hot tag, and Quinn and Evans rush into the ring. The two lock up in the ring and start trading punches, and Quinn takes down Jack with a standing drop kick. Evans rolls out of the ring to regroup with Angelico and Quinn bounces off the ropes and TAKES BOTH MEN DOWN WITH A DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE. Marq throws Angelico into the crowd and throws Evans back into the ring. He tags out to Cassidy and he takes out Evans with their “Gin and Juice” finisher. Quinn covers Evans and 1-2-3!!! Private Party picks up the win.
Following the match, the two grab a few cans of beer from ringside and hand them out to members of the crowd. The all bust open the beers, toast their first win and make their way into the sold out Sears Center to celebrate their first win in AEW.

MJF vs. Moxley: 4.25
AEW Dynamite, 9/9
Jurassic Express vs. Lucha Bros: 3.75
Lee vs. Rhodes: 4
​
The Only rating I'm down on is 3.5 for Shida/Rosa that match was 4.5 for me. It was definitely better then the 8 man and Mimosa match. But he's very low on women matches.
Everything else I agree with.

Podcast Description:
Tony Khan returns to preview the upcoming All Out PPV (Saturday, September 5th). Tony breaks down the card, sharing details on the making of the Mimosa Mayhem Match between Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy, and how he was able to arrange for NWA Women’s Champ Thunder Rosa to challenge AEW Women’s Champ Hikaru Shida. Tony also talks Matt Cardona, the rise of MJF, the possible departure of Matt Hardy, FTR’s impact, and the domination of Brodie Lee and The Dark Order. Plus, you’ll find out how Jon Moxley found out about his #1 ranking in the 2020 PWI Top 500.
Interesting Notes:

• Live Event Experience
  
  • Regarding allowing fans back in - they started at 10% capacity, and hope to eventually work up to around 15% capacity (Daily's Place seats over 5,000, so roughly 700-800 people max). They're aiming for around 12-13% for All Out. "Frankly, compared to what we were at, 700 fans could feel like 7,000."
  • They talk about how special having fans back feels. Tony says that Jericho described it as one of the greatest moments of his nearly 30-year career. As a side note, Tony points out that Dynamite's debut was also, to the day, Jericho's 29th anniversary in wrestling. Next month will be his 30th anniversary, and Dynamite's 1-year anniversary.
  • Tony talks about how well AEW had been selling tickets in the past (notes that they had the highest average number of tickets sold per event in 2019, out of any wrestling promotion), but that, now, he's "proudest not of the number [of tickets they're selling], but I'm proud of the way we did it." He talks about the safety measures in place, and how receptive and compliant the fans have been. He talks about cracking down to ensure that strangers aren't sitting next to each other, and ensuring consistent mask wearing. Tony shares an anecdote about the Mayor of Jacksonville being at their event. Raphael Morffi, the person who was in charge of ensuring fan safety, did not know who he was and went up to him to ask him to put his mask back on after he finished/eating drinking. The Mayor happily obliged.
• Match Card
  
  • (The Buy-In) Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs Big Swole - Tooth And Nail Match: This will be a No Disqualification, Falls Count Anywhere match that takes place in-and-around a dentist's office. Tony says it should be a lot of fun, and he looks forward to Britt's return to the ring.
  • The Casino Battle Royale: He says this match will show just how far AEW has come since it's very first match, the Casino Battle Royale on the Double or Nothing 2019 Buy-In. Points out that a key differentiation is that this match will contain many top stars in AEW, as opposed to past Casino Battle Royales that had to use lots of lower-card or independent wrestling talent. "Without spoiling all of the names in it, there's gonna be some fun people in this match and I'm really excited for what is to come."
  • Thunder Rosa vs Hikaru Shida (c): Tony says he hadn't considered booking Thunder Rosa, but Kenny Omega brought her up as a potential contender, with the hang up being that she works for the NWA. Tony felt confident that they could work something out with NWA (and obviously succeeded) to have Thunder Rosa challenge for the title. They talk about how this should be another great match for Shida, and talk about great matches she's had previously, including winning the title against Nyla Rose, and the pandemic-era match in which she broke Britt Baker's nose (which Tony calls one of the best performances they've had on Dynamite).
  • Orange Cassidy vs Chris Jericho - Mimosa Mayhem: Tony says that he and Chris had kicked around the idea of a mimosa-themed match, but that they didn't know what exactly it would entail. Chris called Tony one day with an idea he had come up with for the match. The match can be won by pinfall, submission, or being thrown into the 80-gallon vat of mimosa. They talk up the growth of Orange Cassidy as a breakout star in AEW: coming in with Best Friends (being their manager was Matt Jackson's idea), his match against PAC and how over the "he's gonna try" chant was, and how he's gotten to the point where he's having a rubber match with Chris Jericho on a PPV.
  • The Young Bucks vs Jurassic Express: Both are top-5 tag teams, and Tony considers this match to be a title-eliminator of sorts. Tony expects this to be a very fast-paced, fun, and exciting match.
  • Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara - Broken Rules: Tony goes through the violent history between the two: Sammy coming from under the ring to attack Matt during his debut, Matt running down Sammy in the golf cart, their previous matches, brawls, segments, etc. It's a Last Man Standing match and should be the conclusion of their feud. The "Broken Rules" refer to Matt Hardy leaving AEW if he loses.
  • The Dark Order vs Natural Nightmares, Matt Cardona, & Scorpio Sky: Tony talks about the roll the Dark Order has been on lately, basically going back to when Colt Cabana joined the group. Points out that Brodie, in addition to destroying Cody, was the first to pin Hangman all year, and helped the Dark Order beat the Elite & FTR in a 6v6 match. He seems to imply that this match could determine the first challenger to Mr. Brodie Lee's TNT title. They talk up Scorpio Sky and Matt Cardona, who Tony points out is on a short-term contract but has impressed them so far, and that this PPV match will be a big opportunity for him.
  • FTR vs Adam Page & Kenny Omega (c): They talk about how good the previous match between Page & Omega vs The Young Bucks was, and Tony Schiavone says this match could be even better. Tony Khan responds, light-heartedly, with, "it's going to be hard to top the greatest tag team match in the history of pay-per-views." But goes on to say that if any match could, it's going to be this one. He says Kenny & Hangman's reign has been really special. Aubrey talks up AEW's tag team division, and points out the different styles between the two tag team matches on the card for All Out.
  • MJF vs Jon Moxley (c): Just in case there was any doubt, they confirm this match will be the main event. Tony says this should be a great wrestling match, and gives Moxley the advantage if goes out of the ring, but MJF the advantage if it stays within the ring. Points out how neither wrestler has been pinned or submitted in their AEW careers, and says that it's not often that you see two wrestlers face off for the world title after both being on such a roll for over a year. Tony talks about how important Jon has been to AEW, and how great of a champion he's been. He says that Jon is a student of wrestling, and how he got to deliver the news to him that he was #1 in this year's PWI 500, and noted how much that meant to him.

Tony ends the podcast talking about how happy he is with Fulham FC's recent promotion to the Premier League.
Note: Unless I specifically said "Tony Schiavone," any mention of "Tony" was in reference to Tony Khan.

So far, the reaction to AEW All Out has been a little bit mixed. It was definitely a great PPV in many ways and I don't think anyone would deny that the marquee matches delivered big time. There were a few misses on the show, but that's nothing to worry too much about. How do you want to see AEW move forward after All Out? What changes can be made and what can they learn from this show?
The Good:
How good did John Silver and Alex Reynolds look during the Buy-In? Those guys are really giving it their all. Super invested in Dark Order right now.
The women's title match was top-tier and one of the best women's matches so far this year from any company, in my opinion. Finally freeing up Kenny Omega for singles competition is a big win and we can also start to build toward FTR versus the Young Bucks. Mox versus Lance Archer will also be a fantastic feud and I could see Archer winning it if they decide to pull the trigger. All of these big developments should keep the upcoming episodes of Dynamite and Dark very interesting. The title matches were truly the highlights of the night. That's kind of how it should be.
The Casino Battle Royale was mostly fun. It was neat that Will Hobbs got so much shine. Matt Sydal was a fun surprise. Despite almost hurting himself doing the shooting star press, it was great to see him. Incredible wrestler that could have great matches with anyone on the roster. Could be a credible champion as well. I think the right guy won the match, of course. Archer rules and Brian Cage will live to fight another day.
The Bad:
The first really bad thing that stood out was Jim Ross making a comment that was in poor taste toward Anna Jay. Saying that you "wish for a wardrobe malfunction to occur" is a level of thirst that an old man shouldn't show when he's supposed to be a professional. Good ol' JR was channeling Jerry Lawler tonight it seems. Anna Jay is very attractive and I think it's fine to bring up that she's gorgeous, but saying something that's kind of vulgar like that is not kosher in 2020. It puts off many fans and probably makes the female fanbase uncomfortable as well. Not to mention female performers shouldn't have to put up with that. Jim should receive a talking to from Khan at the very least.
The only other truly bad scary moment occurred during the Hardy and Guevara match. Hardy seemed to be legitimately knocked out and it sucked the wind out of a lot of us. Scary moment, and I'm glad to hear that Matt is okay. Tony Khan and the medical team stopped the match and then seemingly reversed the decision. The match should have been stopped whether Matt seemed cognizant or not. It's always better to err on the side of caution and it was obvious that Matt didn't look too stable climbing for the finishing spot. This feud has been dangerous and Guevara and Hardy should stop working together. Every big match and spot between the two has led to injuries so far. Let's move on from this.
I'll also say that the Tooth and Nail match isn't what I'm looking to see in AEW. I didn't think it was good and I don't think it did Britt Baker any favors. I would have waited until Baker can have a legit match again and then done something proper. Cinematic matches may have a place in the wrestling world, but this one simply wasn't fully baked.
Lessons to Learn:
Just stop matches if someone gets injured. The show can go on after getting the talent the help that they need. Women are more than eye candy and deserve to be treated with more respect. Great wrestling stories are (primarily) told in the ring.
I'd love to hear what the community thinks AEW should learn from this show.

All Out is this Saturday. If you haven't been watching Dynamite lately, or are just curious and want to know what is going on, here's a summary of the angles leading to this weekends PPV, with links to video clips from AEW's Youtube or Twitter.
Some of these storylines have been going on for months, but the PPV is tomorrow, so there's no way you're going to be watching a dozen episodes of Dynamite, so here's some quick notes.
***
The Buy In: Private Party vs the Dark Order's 3 and 4.
Private Party, Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen, are young, love to party, and have Matt Hardy as their manager.
John Silver (3) and Alex Reynolds(4) are junior members of the evil cult, the Dark Order, but have never won a tag match on their own. (They are hilarious on the "Being The Elite" webshow.)
Previously: There is no build up for this, it was added as a last minute replacement when the previous Buy-In match got placed in the main card.
***
Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs Big Swole in a "Tooth and Nail" match.
Dr. Britt Baker DMD is a dentist with a massive ego.
Big Swole has a big attitude.
Previously: After Dr. Britt Baker DMD got injured in a match, keeping her in a wheelchair for months, she accused every other woman in the division for being jealous of her talent and position as the face of the AEW Women's Division. Big Swole has no patience for that nonsense.

• 8/5 Dynamite - Britt Baker orders her assistant Rebel, who she continually calls Reba, to face Big Swole in the ring. Hilarity ensues.
• 8/17 Women’s Tag Team Cup - Britt Baker distracted Big Swole during the semi-finals, causing her team to lose.
• 8/22 Dynamite - Britt Baker recruited Penelope Ford to join Rebel in facing Big Swole in a handicap match.
• 8/27 Dynamite - Big Swole defeated Rebel and Penelope Ford in a handicap match, winning the right to choose a stipulation for the match against Britt Baker. This was not a great match.
• 9/2 Dynamite - Big Swole announced that their “Tooth and Nail” match at All Out will be held at Britt Baker’s dentist office. Rebel distracted Swole as Britt attacked her from behind.

Casino Battle Royale - 21 Person Match for a chance at the AEW World Title.
Who?

• "Absolute" Ricky Starks is a suave and charismatic talker with a chip on his shoulder.
• Brian "The Machine" Cage is ridiculously built. Both he and Starks are managed by Taz.
• Darby Allin, an emo skater with a death wish, has been feuding with both Starks and Cage.
• The Lucha Brothers, Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero M(formerly Pentagon Jr), are possibly the best tag team in the world, vicious and acrobatic.
• The Butcher and the Blade are another nasty tag team, who have been teaming up with the Lucha Bros recently.
• Eddie Kingston, the "mad king" is a down to earth brawler with a tongue of gold.
• Lance "the Murderhawk Monster" Archer beats up people for fun. Jake "the Snake" Roberts is his manager.
• Billy and his son Austin Gunn are Gunn Club. Billy is old but still a massive powerhouse. Austin is young and LOUD.
• Shawn Spears has been punching people with a loaded glove at the behest of his manager, Tully Blanchard.
• Santana and Ortiz, members of Chris Jericho's Inner Circle, are cheating thugs from New York.
• Jake Hager, also part of Chris Jericho's Inner Circle, is big but has no personality.
• Best Friends, Trent? and Chuck Taylor get more powerful by hugging.
• There's more mystery entrants to the Casino Battle Royale not yet announced.

Previously: Best Friends have been feuding with Santana and Ortiz after they destroyed Trent's mom's minivan. Darby Allin got injured by Brian Cage, then viciously attacked his partner Ricky Starks.

• 8/22 Dynamite - After winning a match, Darby Allin got mocked by Ricky Starks. Then he got assaulted by both Starks and Brian Cage.
• 8/22 Dynamite - Eddie Kingston united the Lucha Bros and the Butcher and the Blade under his leadership. He also winked at the camera, so he may be playing them all for fools.
• 8/27 Dynamite - Eddie Kingston announced that he and his buddies, The Lucha Bros and The Butcher and the Blade, will be competing in the Casino Battle Royal. Eddie is glorious at cutting promos.
• 8/27 Dynamite - Jake "the Snake" Roberts announced that Lance Archer would be competing at the Casino Battle Royale, but got interrupted by Taz, who likewise announced that Ricky Starks and Brian Cage would be competing as well.
• 9/2 Dynamite - A bunch of people cut promos preparing for the Casino Battle Royale. Then, everyone fought.

***
Thunder Rosa vs Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women's Title.
Hikaru Shida is the AEW Women's Champion.
Thunder Rosa is the NWA World Women's Champion.

• 8/22 Dynamite - NWA Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa challenged Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women’s World title.
• 8/27 Dynamite - Thunder Rosa and Hikaru Shida had their contract signing.
• 9/2 Dynamite - NWA Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa defeated Serena Deeb to show her stuff before her match at All Out. It was good.

***
Orange Cassidy vs Chris Jericho in a "Mimosa Mayhem" match.
Orange Cassidy is lazy and treats wrestling like a 9 to 5 job, putting in the minimal amount of effort needed. But sometimes, he TRIES.
Chris Jericho, the "demo god," is an egotistical aging rock star. Together he and his lackeys form The Inner Circle.
Previously: Orange Cassidy made the mistake of walking past Jericho while he was cutting a promo backstage. Jericho beat up Orange Cassidy both in and out of the ring. Cassidy dumped gallons of Orange Juice on Jericho, staining his fancy jacket. Jericho demanded a debate, followed by a rematch. Orange Cassidy won both.

• 8/22 Dynamite - Chris Jericho challenged Orange Cassidy to a “Mimosa Mayhem” match. You can win by throwing your opponent into a tub of mimosa.
• 8/27 Dynamite - After a night of Chris Jericho on commentary, Orange Cassidy rushed out of nowhere to assault him.
• 9/2 Dynamite - Jake Hager ordered Orange Cassidy to be ringside at Jericho’s match.
• 9/2 Dynamite - Chris Jericho cut a promo about how he’ll beat Orange Cassidy.
• 9/2 Dynamite - After beating Joey Janela, Chris Jericho tried to intimidate Orange Cassidy. But Orange Cassidy just doesn’t care.

***
Jurassic Express vs Young Bucks
The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson are one of the best tag teams in the world and they know it. They are part of The Elite along with Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page.
Jurassic Express is the team of Luchasaurus, a 65 million year old dinosaur, and the two young wrestlers he's sort of a father figure to, Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt.

• 8/31 Being the Elite #219 - The Young Bucks talk with Jurassic Express in anticipation of teaming up at the upcoming Dynamite. They’re more than a little arrogant.
• 9/2 Dynamite - The Young Bucks, still angry at Hangman’s betrayal, were kinda jerks to their partners in Jurassic Express. But together the two teams beat Private Party and SCU, getting a spot at All Out. Now, those two teams will face off against each other at the PPV.

***
Sammy Guevara vs Matt Hardy in a "Broken Rules" match
Sammy Guevara is a young conceited vlogger, part of Chris Jericho's Inner Circle.
Matt Hardy, recently arrived at AEW, has had many personalities over the years, but is now out for blood.
PREVIOUSLY: Matt Hardy, allied with Kenny Omega and the Elite, faced Sammy Guevara and the Inner Circle. The two have been feuding ever since.

• 8/5 Dynamite - Matt Hardy called out Sammy for rejecting his advice to leave Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle. They fought. Sammy threw a chair at Matt Hardy, who got seriously injured.
• 8/12 Dynamite - After his serious injury, Matt Hardy attacked a ref, mistaking him for Sammy.
• 8/22 Dynamite - Sammy bragged about beating up Matt Hardy. Matt Hardy ambushed Sammy and began to savagely attack him.

• 8/31 Road to All Out - A recap of the Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara feud also announced their match at All Out. The Broken Rules match.
• 9/2 Dynamite - Sammy once again bragged about beating Matt Hardy. Matt responded, saying that Sammy would be DELETED. Their “Broken Rules” Last Man Standing, Anything Goes match must have a winner. If Sammy wins, Hardy leaves AEW.

***
Dark Order vs Natural Nightmares, Scorpio Sky and Matt Cardona
The Dark Order is a cult that recruits people who have been losing, promising to make them better.

• Mr. Brodie Lee is the leader of the Dark Order, who is a tyrant to his minions.
• Colt Cabana is a fun loving guy who is slowly being recruited to join and doesn't quite get that the Dark Order are bad guys.
• Evil Uno and Stu Grayson are the main lieutenants of Brodie Lee.

The Natural Nightmares are the team of "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, and QT Marshall, who is having a mid-life crisis. QT is sorta/kinda seeing Allie, who is totally using him, but he's too infatuated with her to realize he's just a pawn in her schemes. Both Dustin Rhodes and QT are part of Cody's "Nightmare Family" along with his wife Brandi Rhodes, and his coach Arn Anderson.
Scorpio Sky, part of SCU, has been fighting the Dark Order off and on for months.
Matt Cardona is Cody's friend who despite being popular online, has shown no personality in the ring during his recent arrival at AEW.
PREVIOUSLY: Cody has been defending the TNT Championship weekly.

• 8/5 Dynamite - Cody and his friend Matt Cardona defeated two junior members of the Dark Order. Scorpio Sky challenged Cody for the TNT Championship.
• 8/12 Dynamite - After beating Scorpio Sky to retain the TNT Championship, Cody was challenged by Brodie Lee, leader of the Dark Order.

• 9/2 Dynamite - A promotional video showing the Dark Order and the team ready to face them.

FTR vs Hangman Adam Page & Kenny Omega for the AEW Tag Team Titles
Kenny Omega is a lighthearted guy with a bit of a temper who is also possibly the best pro wrestler in the world. Hangman Adam Page is the anxious millennial cowboy, who compensates for his impostor syndrome by drinking too much and alienating his friends. They are the AEW tag champs, and members of The Elite.
FTR, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, are an old-school tag-team new to AEW, who have been overly friendly to the Elite, especially Hangman Adam Page. Tully Blanchard is their new manager.
Previously: Hangman has been finding FTR to be better friends to him than his Elite teammates Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. For more details on this plot, check this thread.

• 8/5 Dynamite - Hangman, Kenny, the Young Bucks and FTR faced Brodie Lee and the Dark Order. Dax of FTR got injured, and Hangman accompanied them backstage to medical, leaving the rest of the Elite at a disadvantage. Hangman later returned, but was defeated by Brodie Lee.
• 8/12 Dynamite - At Tag Team Appreciation Night, FTR joined Tully Blanchard and beat up the Rock and Roll Express.
• 8/22 Dynamite - Kenny Omega lost his temper and had to be restrained by the Young Bucks after beating two members of the Dark Order. They are not getting along.
• 8/22 Dynamite - Hangman tries to confront FTR about their attack on the Rock and Roll Express the previous week, but they distract him with beer. Then, they convince him that he needs to stop the Young Bucks from getting another title shot.
• 8/27 Dynamite - Hangman intervened in the match between the Young Bucks and the Best Friends, causing the Young Bucks to lose. They’re upset at him. Then, with the Young Bucks eliminated, FTR was able to beat the Best Friends. FTR earned a title shot against Hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega at All Out.
• 8/27 Dynamite - The Young Bucks kicked Hangman out of the Elite.
• 9/2 Dynamite - Tully Blanchard coached FTR about the upcoming title match.
• 9/2 Dynamite - Kenny was confronted by FTR, who claimed they just wanted a good clean fight for the tag belts. But when Hangman arrived, they also made it clear that they’d used him. Hangman betrayed the Young Bucks for nothing. Kenny isn’t happy either. Now Hangman is all alone.

***
Maxwell Jacob Friedman "MJF" vs Jon Moxley, AEW World Champion
Jon Moxley, a miserable son of a bitch, is the undefeated AEW World Champion.
MJF is also technically undefeated, but cheats with the help of his massive bodyguard, Wardlow.
Previously: MJF is preparing for his title shot against Moxley with a “championship campaign.”

• 8/12 Dynamite - MJF insulted Moxley, thinking he wasn’t at the show that evening. Moxley responded by attacking MJF with the Paradigm Shift.

• 9/2 Dynamite - MJF intimidated his lawyer, who was scared of having to face Moxley.
