AEW Dynamite and Collision 11-11-26

 

It's a combo show and thanks to finding the chloroseptic cough drops, I can finally breathe a bit tonight. Had to leave work like an hour in and I'm still under the weather, but having a couple days to heal should help. Brodido faces New Level tonight and the DCF faces the Bucks and Jack Perry and Ciampa faces Bailey for the National title. BG recap and Tony talks to Ospreay after the BG match and Will asks why he did what he did. Cope tells Will that he already had double fusion and he doesn't want that for him and he wakes up feeling like a bag of shit each day. 

Fletcher and Ospreay are out for a talky talky and Fletcher isn't having any of Will's shit and he wants the credit for breaking his neck. They go on and on and on and on and on and on about jealousy and Fletcher knocks Will's son and wife. Fantastic 10 minute segment stretched out for 25 minutes. Nice Cope vs. Okada hype video - THAT is going to be fun! AT 8:30PM it's opener time with New Level against Brodido in an all-action war. DVD on Kofi after a tornado DDT on the floor. DCO for an all-out brawl. Veterans' Day video with Lashley brought up, but not providing a VO. Wow. 

Women's BG post-match and they setup Wrathlander vs. Birds. OC vs. Finlay is up and David rushes in to eat lazy kicks and Finlay hits him with lazy kicks during the break. He uses a chair as a misdirect and a stick shot wins it before we hear from Andrade about his title contract. Britt brings out Perse to squash Gypsy Mac. Hangman chats with Renee about TEXAS DEATH and Stoke insults the Guns before Match 5 tonight. That has some good action with the powerplex meeting a Sabin missile dropkick! Stoke holds Shelley's foot down off a suplex for 2! SHATTER MACHINE TO SHELLEY GETS 2.9 WHEN SABIN SAVES! STUFF PILEDRIVER GETS 2.9! ONE MINUTE CALL! And the Guns win off an anticlimactic sunset flip with like 5 seconds left. Now they're the top contenders. 

Speedball vs. Ciampa is up and Ciampa slices him up and they just do dangerous shit like avoiding an air raid crash on the apron and then avoiding a sunset bomb to the apron. Bailey backslide is countered into a 2. Avalanche project Ciampa gets 2! DEATH KNEE GETS 2.9! ANOTHER KNEE OF DEATH WINS IT! BUT NOW THE METRONOME TICKS! AND DRAGUNOV VS. CIAMPA IS ON FOR THE PPV!

Mox and Marina vs. Jay and Mone mixed tag starts Collision off. Fun action until a cutter to Mone and the cutthroat suplex hits but the KING KONG LARIAT HITS FOR MOX! Marina taps Mone with the Brutalizer! Post-match, Mone locks on the crossface on Mone and the Cut beats up Mox before the Riders arrive and the Conglomeration saves! Trios time and Jack lays a trap for Knight to eat a double superkick on the floor! Cage POSES AND ATTEMPTS TO BREAKDANCE!

Walker Stewart is fantastic at calling the Bucks. UFO HITS FOR 2 WHEN THE BUCKS SAVE! BTE TRIGGER BEATS CLON! Perry wants joe again. Wardlow vs Camoroto is up and it's quick before the powerbomb wins it and D/D do more damage and a second dangerous powerbomb hits for Wardlow. Swirl vs. Sky Team is up at past 11PM. Unreal. YAY IAN IS ON COMMENTARY! Lots of fun, fast action but my God it is 11:11PM and there is STILL A TRIPLE THREAT MAIN EVENT FOR THE TBS TITLE! Fast break and la mistica wins it and Final Battle is set up for December and Nick Wayne is out to let them know he BEAT CHRIS JERICHO TWICE! WINMAXXING! 

TBS Title match STARTS AT 11:24PM JESUS and Skye dominates Hyan in the corner. Queen's crown for Skye. Backslide gets 2 for Queen. OFF WITH HER HEAD TO SKYE BLUE and at 11:33PM IT'S OVER THANK GOD! Britt distracts and Perse beats up Aminata again! Maya saves! There way between Queen, Maya, and Perse for the Tailgate. 

AEW Collision 11-7-26 - Rock n Rager Ciampa vs. Andrade National Title

 

Fun first full week of work is done and I'm digging this job and the OOT remake is slaying. Got to unlock Saria's song right before this show, so hey, fun stuff! MAH BOYS start the show off before Jericho faces Blake Christian. Jericho is in a maintenance outfit and does an AA with no bump and then he strips off to reveal taco cat gear. Corner punches and rana. LETHAL INJECTION BY BLAKE GETS 2! Walls wins it. 

New Level is out and they're heelish and serious. Mens BG recap. FTR vs. The Guns are up for match 4 and FTR gets 2 off a spike piledriver. Sabin STF and the border city stretch by Shelley! Stoke distracts and a knee clip and schoolboy from Dax wins it while they shoot Cash's hair in the least-flattering way possible. CALL HIM NICK WAYNE is here after they air a revamped video of him. "you have a boyfriend? DID HE BEAT CHRIS JERICHO!?"

He's facing Marcus Mathers of WWE ID, and they've all been good pickups so far. Good back and forth before a 450 meets knees and the Wayne's World wins it. HEY CHAT! He's winmaxxing because he beat Jericho and gets a honk. Tremendous. Mox, Danny, and Gabe are out to face STP. Corner charging lariats before Gabe does a rebounder Pac lariat! Gabe's fisherman buster wins it and we get some Mox dancing! Mone tells Mox to keep his BITCH on a leash AND MOX DOESN'T APPROVE OF THAT LANGUAGE!

The Cut is here AND THEY WHOOP ASS! Mina vs. Perse is up next and they have a fun match and Perse wins with her splash mountain and Aminata saves Mina from a post-match beating. Ciampa vs. Andrade is up. DM hits but Aubrey is out and the low blow and power knee get 2 for Ciampa! 

AEW Dynamite 11-4-26 - BLOOD AND GUTS

 

It's been an exciting week of work although I'm regretting having a bit of pizza earlier as I needed to clear out some freezer space when Darian loaded up his order and his aide just shoved everything everywhere and it hit the ground trying to do that, so...eh oh well. At least I only had half and should feel better in a day or two. Women's match starts the show off and the men's will be the main. DCF hypes up the risk for the opponents and says he has medical records, well that's A HIPAA VIOLATION BROTHER and Mick chats with the guys and Sexy Steve needs to speed louder. Cope tells Mick that he's wearing the same gear he did against Mick and he's also talking softly, so maybe it's an audio thing.

Bayne starts off for the heels and Kris is out and they just chop the shit out of each other. Bayne gets a golden chair and eats a chair toss and some chairs to the back before Perse is out and Bayne is gaffed up. Perse gets PLIARS AND WANTS A LOCKJAW! Skye is out and Kris runs to her and GETS NAILED WITH LIGHT TUBES! Skye and Kris fight on steps and a face smash slices Skye up. WILLOW! Glass and LEGOS or TOY BRICKS, TAZ as Ex says are out. WINDSAH SMACKS SKYE WITH A BARB WIRE BOARD! AND SKYE HAS BARB WIRE ON THE BUTTOCKS! 

Thekla in paint SHOOTS A WEB! Kross is out and smacks folks and Germans Willow! Lena pump kicks Kris with a chair! TKO and an ushigorishi! DD DOUBLE PRESS SLAMS WINDSAH INTO THE CAGE! Harley gets a crucifix bomb and she gets a Stratusfaction on Lena! Harley has a tiny guitar and a big guitar and Lena throws the tiny one and eats the big one! Julia's out and spikes Kris' head! Corner boot and German by Bayne to Kris! Hayter is out for the final person and BLOOD AND GUTS BEGINS! 

NASTY double powerbomb to Kris to the cage TO THE FLOOR by the DD! Thekla stomps Harley on the smiley face trash can lid! Thekla wraps the belt around Harley's throat and we get a closeup of Bayne just sliced to hell before a Willow choke. Perse DIVES OFF THE CAGE FOR A SPLASH TO QUEEN THROUGH A TABLE! DD EATS POWERBOMBS THROUGH TABLES! Well, not so much for Kross, so Kris dives through! 

Kris and Stat argue but Julie geta locked in a Harley half crab and A BARB WIRE CAMEL CLUTCH WINS IT from Kris! Wow! This was incredible and the women's AEW War Games have been so much better than all of WWE's and this had a lot of the same cast as last year and yet felt totally different - and that's impressive, like the JCP ones.

Collision on the boat has Ciampa vs. Andrade for the belt! Nice video package and Andrade says that he's the champ and it's a highlight for him because it's about his people. Backstage, Kofi is trapped in a door by Bandido and we get a big trios brawl. Bandido is ripped and has a truss piece and NOW IT'S TEXAS DEATH FOR FULL GEAR! 

Mox chats with OC about respecting him and he needs help and offers him the chance to take out White. Mercedes tells Renee to leave and for Marina to get her ass out here right now! MUSCLE MOMMY MARINA is here and she says she respects what Mone's done, but not who she's become. NICK WAYNE KICK VIDEO AIRS! 

Nick Wayne BEAT CHRIS JERICHO TWICE and the rager is up live on Saturday. Guns-FTR hype and Marina faces Perse on Saturday. Men's match is up with Fletcher starting against Darby and his student film hype video. LAWNDART IN THE CORNER! Darby gets slammed on the board! Knight's out for the double impact Jindrak dropkick! Nick is out in white Rockers-ish gear before Doyle is out AS A FARMER and fights with Nick, who escapes and PKs Kyle! 

Matt's out and fights Kyle off and Doyle wants a beating and GETS A CAN SHOT and wants more, so he eats a rana and rolls through for a powerbomb on the trash can! Davis is out in Godwinn gear too! Inverted gutwrench and A BIG HOOK HITS! Darby falls off the truss into them and they catch him and chuck him into the cage and onto the table legs! Cope lays out guys with chairs and Cope hits the Christian inverted DDT on chairs to Davis and Doyle pounces him instead of Cope spearing him. 

Wardlow's out and gets an F5. Borden is out and LOOK AT STEVE GO from Tony and he runs wild! Wardlow has a giant fucking puncture wound on his back! Stinger splashes by Steven and HE'S GOT TACKS! BORDEN EATS A DOUBLE POWERBOMB ON THE TACKS! Okada has a leafblower to get rid of the tacks! Tremendous! Babyfaces get scorpion deathlocks on but Wardlow saves! 

Ospreay is out so Blood and Guts can officially begin for a hoss battle! Double-jump forearm by Ospreay when Kyle FLEXES! Knight tosses a barb wire chair in to Kyle and Ospreay eats a coast to coast from Knight in a tree of woe with the chair! Wardlow picks up a bag AND IT EXPLODES and  they run wild! EXPLODING CHAIR SUPERKICK TO OKADA!? TACK SUPERKICKS TO DAVIS AND DOYLE! STEVER SPLASH TO THE BARB WIRE CHAIR and like everyone is hit by it and Don gives Kyle the screwdriver. 

Fletcher hits a brainbuster on the barb wire chair to Will! DARBY SLIPS THROUGH THE TRUSS TO ATTACK DON! Wardlow saves by breaking the chain and ripping the door off the cage. AND THEY FIGHT TO THE CEILING and Wardlow WALKS AROUND WITH HIM! Cope spears aplenty but Okada low blows him!

TACK ARMSLEEVE TO COPE BUT NO COPE SPEARS HIM THROUGH A TABLE! Davis, Doyle and Okada chain Cope's neck to the cage! Darby eats a powerbomb on the cage! Doyle has a BARB WIRE BEARHUG ON! Kyle puts a screwdriver to the throat of Ospreay and Cope surrenders for him. 

Darby eats a throw off the cage by Wardlow and he...caught ONE TABLE OF THE FOUR. 

WWE Raw 11-2-26 - Page vs. Gable IC Title

 

Raw is on 2 hours early, so cool - I get to knock this show out given that my shift got me home at like 6:45PM. Roman came out and put the ones up and called out 946 and then Sami says no one remembers Roman at WM 38, which is accurate and HE'S THE GODDAMN WWE CHAMPION! They ramble on forever and yeah they're facing on Saturday okay whatever. IC Title time with Gable against the guy who has lost 40+ matches, who should win it and yet...shouldn't. I like Gable's Miami Vice-ish singlet and a diving headbutt meets knees for 2.

Chaos theory gets 2.9! Twisted Grin hits for 2.9! Avalanche powerslam by Page gets 2.9 and a sunset bomb into a stack and an ankle lock! Exposed buckle hits and the Ego Plex wins it. 946-Bloodline recap before a Judgment Day women's trio match against Iyo, Tiffy, and Chelsea. They have a pretty sloppy match before Liv wins with Oblivion on Chelsea. 

Cena is out in new grey gear and black jorts - so basically looking exactly like wrestler Cena. 12/14 is the Cena Classic AT DISNEY WORLD! There will be 2 Raws - one live from Perth and a taped one for the Classic. There will be a new Never Seen Classic belt as well and it's a spinner that looks better than the OG spinner. Voting for the classic or something is on Club WWE and WHO is in the classic!? Cody is the first invitee. Orton is out to chat about the stip match and fill folks in. 

Jade and the baddies insult Bayley and now it's time for the Vision in a trios against Penta, JeVon, and Lee. Good back and forth and the 28MPH spear beats JeVon. Keys and Solo are out for the main event and have a fun hoss battle. Keys reminds me so much of a modern-day Scott Norton. Sky high gets 2 for Keys and the Uso splash hits but the 946 attacks before a spike for a DQ. Bloodline and 946 staredown for the War Games hype video before Keys and Roman brawl.

Keys is downed by Roman's punches but saved by CRUZ MONTANA!? Holy shit! Cruz lays out Roman and they needed a talker and they have one and that man is making main event money after not even wrestling on the NXT PLE. Fantastic stuff and far better than spinning his wheels there and now he's laying out Roman, talking shit to Roman and Keys lays him out with the ULTIMATE SPINEBUSTER.

LOL AND THEN SAMI ATTACKS ROMAN WITH THE HELLUVA KICK! Roman has put THREE PEOPLE over tonight alone - fantastic usage of him. 

AEW Dynamite 10-28-26 Fright Night

 

It's almost Halloween time and AEW does have the second-best themed name you can give a show - nothing can top Halloween Havoc, but this is close and we've got Perse vs. Aminata and Fletcher vs. Perry on tap alongside Darby vs. Alexander and FTR vs. the Guns. I could see a TNT Title change here. Mox and Garcia face The Gut to open things up. The Cut's new logo reminds me of The Band's in TNA.

Mox vs. White starts up and they're definitely going for that for the Continental and Mox gets the driver on Finlay before White stomps him free of a triangle. Bladerunner to Danny wins it faction brawling sets up Anarchy in the Arena for Full Gear. Fletcher vs. Perry is up and Fletcher dominates until a low-pe by Perry and a flip dive is turned into an apron bomb by Fletcher! Corner kick and the high angle brainbuster gets 2.9! Snaretrap is on! Avalanche rana from Perry turned into a powermb...no rana first! Avalanche brainbuster...misses but it's a KO and Fletcher talks about beating Perry, Cope, and Ospreay and he and Knight will be tag champs and he cuts this killer promo on Davis and Doyle's shoulders. 

Malenko narrates a Blood and Guts video! New Level is out to talk the trios Texas death match for the PPV. Swerve takes out Bandido backstage and covers his face with his hair before they get Texas Death. DCF is backstage and Okada hypes up FAMILY! FTR vs. Guns is up and they have a decent little match before a flash cradle gets the win for the Guns and FTR attacks. Britt is an old tyme coach with Perse backstage and Britt is Ms. Trunchbul from Matilda. Okay then. MY SHADOW KNOWS MY STORY and he wants Andrade's gold and wil go through Sydal on Saturday. AND OH MY GOD DRAGUNOV! 

Marina vs. Rachel Armstrong is up and the mother's milk ends it. Marina tells her to stop being a pussy and Mone tells her that she isn't one and slaps her to a "you fucked up" chant and the Cut attacks Mox and Claudio fights everyone off until the odds overwhelm him. Josh vs. Darby is up and Josh gets a cool Body Vice modification with his hands locked in an S grip. Coffin drop to the floor but JOSH CATCHES HIM FOR A FLIP GERMAN! Darby wraps him in the skirt and a low-pe hits! IT'S STEVE is dressed as a clown and beats up RPG Vice! Ankle lock but DARBY GETS THE LAST SUPPER OUT OF IT TO WIN!

Mortos vs. Dragunov is up for Collision! TBS Title time and it's a stiff affair before Britt hits a beltshot and a Perse moonsault gets 2 BUT OFF WITH HER HEAD ENDS IT AND WE GOT A NEW CHAMP! The babyface locker room is out for her! Cool moment and the perfect timing too with Aminata hugely over right before the finish.

AEW Dynamite 10-21-26 - Dragunov Debut

 

It's a pretty loaded lineup with Dragunov debuting against Bailey and Cope and Ospreay facing ProtoJet, and the Bucks against Davis and Doyle in an eliminator. And that opens the show up! Davis and Doyle just truck them! Avalanche in the barricade by Davis, and a powerbomb THROUGH A TABLE after the first one to Nick! DOUBLE SNAP POWERSLAM HITS! COUNT TO THREE HITS and another! A THIRD PILEDRIVER HITS and Nick is bearhugged by Doyle and that's ballgame! WOW that is how you get guys over!

PPV recap and Cope is out for the Ospreay tag. Jeez what a loaded first hour. Double Impact dropkick gets 2 for the heels and Kyle poses before Callis steals the desk by saying that if Excalibur looked like Kyle, he wouldn't need to wear a mask to protect others. Knight hits a run-up Superman forearm on the floor to Ospreay and Cope hits a Killswitch to Kyle! CATCHING SPEAR TO KNIGHT! Spear misses in the corner AND HE HITS OKADA'S BELT and the brainbuster wins it! Darby, Steven, and the Bucks make a save!

Swerve vertebreakers a jobber to win. Orange and Jay White beat Yuta and Danny in a fun mid-card tag with Jay winning with the bladerunner. Swerve demands a rematch for the belts at Full Gear and Hanger is cool with it. Renee and Mone are out and THE DEATH RIDERS THEME HITS and MARINA IS UP NEXT BABY! "DON'T BE A PUSSY!" Mox vs. Roddy is up and I don't think there's much Marina likes more than Roddy getting beaten up! HE'S A BACKBREAKER'Y guy according to Taz and THE STRONG HOLD IS ON! RNC ENDS IT! This was fun! The Dogs attack Roddy and Mox backs them off AND THEN FINLAY FLIPS HIM OFF AND THEY BEAT HIM DOWN! CONNORS SPEARS Gabe - good - they closed the loop on that alignment there.

AND THE BANG BANG GANG TAKE OUT THE DEATH RIDERS TOO! EVEN CLAUDIO IS TAKEN OUT! 310 COUNTERED WITH AN UPPERCUT AND they take him down with a gang attack. Tire iron shot by Connors to Claudio trying to swing Jay! The Divine Dominion and Triangle of Madness beat up Wrathlander and the Birds backstage. Justin Roberts lets everyone know that YOU SHOULD RESPECT THE PRODIGY NICK WAYNE! In a new NICK WAYNE BEAT CHRIS JERICHO shirt. "Nick WAYYNE!' guys pissing Taz off for a shoot- so that should be his preferred chant now 

He does the bit TWICE and Jericho is out with the mid-life crisis blonde hair dye. Jericho says that this is the TURNING POINT OF NICK WAYNE and boy that's sure better than the Genesis of McGullicutty and tells him NOT TO FUCK IT UP! Well that's the learning lesson in life. FTR-Guns recap. 

 

Britt and Perse are here for commentary as Maya vs. Aminata hits for a title shot. OFF WITH HER HEAD and Aminata faces Perse at Fright Night next week. Woo Rascalz hype video on Dynamite! Myron vs. Swerve is set up and Match 2 is Saturday and 3 is on Fright Night. DCF vs. Bucks, Cope, Darby, Borden, and Ospreay! Bailey vs. Dragunov is up BUT FIRST Joe says that he beat Darby, Ospreay and that title belongs to him and there's no Bowens here. Bailey and Dragunov just beat the everloving shit out of each other with hard chops, round kicks and stomps. Bridging Tiger suplex gets 2.5 for Ilja! Diving senton from Dragunov gets 2! D-Bomb countered by an upkick and a pump kick! Lariat to the leg D-BOMB TO THE LEG AND THE D-BOMB HITS!
