⭐️Kayhan: Wasnt much excited to see Kenny Omega & Brian Cage. They should have played it up more that Cage was with Don Callis’ group because it seemed like just a cold match. I think the storyline of having Ospreay & Kenny Omega team against the Don Callis family before they face off is just fine and dandy, but Im not excited for it.
(2) Hurt Syndicate, Private Party, Mark Briscoe
-Video Package shows MVP talking return to in ring action tonight. MVP talks up his in-ring accomplishments.

⭐️Kayhan: Yeah. A solidly worked match. Right result. Which is good for Private Party. But I didn’t love this. Let’s see if the Hurt Syndicate storyline progresses anytime soon.
(3) Learning Tree
-New York Minute segment shows the Learning Tree cutting a promo on the streets talking about upcoming 12-Man Tag Match on Collision where they will team with Death Riders against a team consisting of Rated FTR and others...

⭐️Kayhan: Yikes. 12-Man Tag😵💫.
(4) Ricochet, Nana, Swerve
-Ricochet tries to cut an In Ring Promo but is booed mercilessly by the crowd, to which Ricochet responds, "So that's how it's gonna be?!" Swerve's music hits and Nana nails Ricochet in the back with a steel chair. Swerve enters with a chain and runs off Ricochet through the crowd.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Justin Roberts introduced Ricochet, “Show some love for Ricochet.” 😆 “So that’s how it’s gonna be?” is gonna go down as one of the most iconic lines of all time… I’m only giving this a ❤️ for Ricochet. All this with the audience turning on him couldn’t have turned out more perfect. It’s almost kinda sad because he’s really getting booed for real😆.
⭐️Vlad: I'm not really sure what Kayhan is saying in his review of this. I thought he was made to look like a bitch again. Nana knocked him down now? 👎
(5) Mercedes Moné
-Video Package shows Mercedes Mone making media appearances and training.

⭐️Kayhan: Decent way to get her on the show. At least someone’s out there trying to talk up AEW.
(6) Jeff Jarrett, MJF, Karen, Dustin Rhodes
-Jeff Jarrett enters to cut an in ring promo but is interrupted by MJF. Jarrett calls out MJF for being lazy not entering the Casino Gauntlet. MJF proceeds to run down JJ as a company killer, to which Jarrett responds by calling MJF's mother and girlfriend call girls. MJF says Jarrett is using the name of Owen Hart, riding Owen's coattails, to which Jarrett responds by attacking MJF. Security gets involved & Jeff's wife comes out to try to calm Jarrett down. MJF then pulls Karen in front of him before he runs away. Jarrett looks pissed.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: This was wild to watch. I like Jarrett going up there with no fear and trying to give back MJF exactly what he dishes out, because Jarrett literally thinks he’s on the level of the all time greats. Jarrett is not afraid to do anything in wrestling. One of the reasons I love the guy… But I can’t say this was great. So only a 1/2 👍 for shock value. The lines were awful. Even MJF bringing up Owen Hart. Why? Idk. This was a fail but I’m still glad I got to see it.
⭐️Vlad: This was trying to recreate some of the magic of previous promo battles MJF had with Punk and Cody but it failed miserably. The stuff they were saying was cringe. It lasted way too long. J was like, your girlfriend is a Canadian prostitute? wtf … Who okayed them saying some of this shit? … I'd have to disagree with JJ here he was never on the level of the devil….
(7) Christian, Hook, Mother Wayne, Patriarchy, Samoa Joe, Shibata
-Hook defeats Christian by DQ as the Patriarchy hit the ring just as it looks like is about to tap out to Hook.

Robert TheFrozenAsian - 1/2 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Unfortunately I was indifferent to this, despite really liking a lot of the players involved. Even Joe’s return didn’t rouse my interest. I think this whole storyline has been so bad that I’m just like, PASS. Next storyline, please. So I was unable to really give this a chance. The match seemed decently worked but the whole thing failed to make people wake up to see this. Even taz teasing getting involved didn’t matter.
(8) Jay White, Undisputed Kingdom, Daniel Garcia
-Video package shows fallout from last week’s Casino Gauntlet for several competitors including Undisputed Kingdom, Jay White and Daniel Garcia. Roddy wants another chance at Jay White, while Kyle OReilly wants a shot at Daniel Garcia.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Interesting idea to get multiple storylines out real quick in one video package. Haven’t seen it done that way, at least that I can remember. But it didn’t really work that well here. Too much going on, nothing to focus on.
(9) Women’s Casino Gauntlet Match
-Mariah entered to join commentary. Participants in order of entrance: Statlander, Jamie Hayter, Megan Bayne (who Mariah May is very distraught to see debut), Julia Hart, Willow, Toni Storm, Harley Cameron. Toni Storm wins, pinning Julia Hart. Mariah is happy to see anyone by Megan Bayne win.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Interesting debut from Megan Bayne. 👎 for Mariah’s terrible acting trying to put Megan Bayne over… But overall this was cool to see just for the number of big time names in the match.
(10) Jon Moxley, Powerhouse Hobbs, Marina, Wheeler, Rated FTR
-Wheeler Yuta & Marina interfere to help Moxley retain AEW World Title against Powerhouse Hobbs. Moxley chokes out Hobbs for the win.

Vlad TheWrestlingExpert - 1/2 👍
Robert TheFrozenAsian - 1/2 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Why did Rated FTR wait so long to help Hobbs?!… But ok. I woulda put Hobbs over. And maybe Death Riders could have got the title back quickly. it was a good chance to put Hobbs over. Otherwise, if you ask me, I would kill off Death Riders with Hurt Syndicate.
⭐️Vlad: I don't know how to rate this. I'II be nice say 1/2 👍
