AEW Dynamite and Collision results
The show opened with pyro, and Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone welcomed viewers from the broadcast table. Two more matches were added to tonight’s card: Queen Aminata vs. Skye Blue vs. Hyan in a three-way for the TBS Championship, and the Young Bucks and Jack Perry vs. three members of the Don Callis Family. A video package recapped last week’s Blood and Guts matches.
Schiavone then introduced footage from the locker room after last week’s Blood and Guts. Will Ospreay confronted Adam Copeland for surrendering in the match while Steven Borden, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson listened. Ospreay said the team had agreed before the match that nobody would give up, and brought up the kids who watch Copeland wearing his shirt. Copeland told Ospreay to shut up and defended the decision, pointing to his own nine-year forced retirement, his neck fusion, Ospreay’s neck fusion and how he feels when he wakes up in the morning. He said he didn’t want anyone else to go through what he went through, and that if they couldn’t understand that, maybe this wasn’t the place for him. Copeland walked out as the others tried to call him back.
Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher face to face
Kyle Fletcher came out in a suit with Don Callis. AEW World Champion Will Ospreay followed in jeans and a T-shirt, and Fletcher called for Ospreay’s music to be cut while Ospreay played to the crowd.
Fletcher said he wasn’t there to listen to the music, as the crowd chanted for Ospreay and against Don Callis. Fletcher recalled shaving his head in the ring in the same building three years earlier and listed what Ospreay had done since: neck surgery, getting married, and coming back to win the AEW World Championship. Fletcher said he had won the TNT Championship twice and been an AEW World Trios Champion and AEW International Champion in that time, said none of it would have happened without Ospreay, and thanked him. Ospreay thanked him back and said he had kept an eye on Fletcher for two years and was very proud of him.
Fletcher then accused Ospreay of twisting his words. He said he wouldn’t change anything, including the screwdriver and dropping Ospreay on his head with a Tiger Driver, and questioned why Ospreay went after Jon Moxley when he came back from neck surgery. Fletcher wanted the credit for breaking Ospreay’s neck.
Ospreay said Fletcher was responsible for the most excruciating 10 months of his life. He said he worked through the pain because he was in the first year of his AEW contract and didn’t want to let anyone down, and that the fans reacting to his entrance music got him through it. He said Fletcher shouldn’t brag too much, since Ospreay beat him twice before the surgery, and said he is 100 percent now. He pointed to hitting the Black Arrow when it was needed most and beating Kenny Omega for the title.
Ospreay then had footage played from All In London of his walk backstage before his entrance, which showed him passing Fletcher and Mark Davis, and asked Fletcher what he felt in that moment. Fletcher said he felt “absolutely nothing.” Ospreay didn’t buy it.
“Kyle, you are a very bad liar,” Ospreay said. “I am not interested in hearing words from your daddy’s mouth. I want to hear from your mouth, because if you really hated me that much, you wouldn’t have stood aside.”
“I think that you saw someone that deep down you still love,” Ospreay added. “Deep down, you and Davis wanted to be ringside with me, just like old times. Deep down, there’s regret.”
Fletcher admitted he was jealous.
“I had to watch the man that I hate most in the world walk out there and achieve my dream,” Fletcher said. “It was the fairy tale I wanted my whole flippin’ life. So yes, I was jealous. But that feeling did not last very long, because as soon as I realized what was about to happen, I knew that I was going to be the man to take it all away from you.”
Ospreay said the two could have been “two brothers that put their differences to one side” and added, “I have no shame, no shame whatsoever to tell you that I still love you, mate.”
“Stop lying. You never loved me,” Fletcher said. “You’re a manipulator. That’s what you do. You try and get in my brain.”
Fletcher continued, “This has always been about you. I realized it. Davis realized it. Callum Newman just realized it. And sooner or later, everyone in your life is going to realize it. One day, your wife will realize it, and she is going to leave you. One day, when your son grows up, he will realize it too. And if he doesn’t realize it on his own, I will be there to tell him exactly the kind of man that his father is.”
“This Saturday at Full Gear, there is only hatred, and I am going to take everything from you,” Fletcher added.
Ospreay said Fletcher had “improved dramatically” and called him one of the best wrestlers on the roster, but said they “do not stand on equal footing.”
“We have wrestled one another six times. I’ve won five of them. You won one two years ago,” Ospreay said. “That same killer instinct that I had to show Jon, that I had to show Kenny, I’m now gonna point the gun at you, bruv, and I’m gonna pull the trigger. And when you do, lights are gonna go out, and you’ll wake up. But I’ll be standing over the top of you with my AEW World Championship, because when it comes to Kyle Fletcher versus Will Ospreay, I will always have the high ground.”
As Ospreay began to say, “My name is Will Ospreay, and I am on another—”, Fletcher slapped him and dared him to show some killer instinct. Ospreay finished the line with “level” and left as his music played.
Ospreay will defend the AEW World Championship against Fletcher on Saturday at Full Gear.
Adam Copeland vs. Kazuchika Okada set for Full Gear
A video package recapped last Saturday’s announcement that Adam Copeland will challenge Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Championship at Full Gear. It will be their first-ever singles match.
“I needed to sit down and do some soul searching, and I realized I’m aging out,” Copeland said in the package. “2027 will be my last year in professional wrestling.”
Brodido vs. The New Level
A video recapped Bandido’s return last week, one week after he was abducted by Swerve Strickland, when he attacked Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed. Commentary said Bandido told Hangman Adam Page he wanted a Texas Death match, and he got it: Page and Brodido face Strickland and The New Level in a Texas Death match for the AEW World Trios Championship on Saturday at Full Gear.
As Brodido made their entrance, Kingston and Creed hit them with simultaneous suicide dives, and the teams fought at ringside before the bell.
Commentary noted that everyone else was banned from ringside, so Strickland and Page were not out there. The bell finally rang once both teams got into the ring, but King was quickly sent to the floor with a low bridge and Creed followed with a tope. Kingston grabbed a chair and tossed it into the ring.
Back from the break, King took out both opponents with a suicide dive, but Kingston and Creed ran him into the ring steps. Bandido dove off the steps onto both of them. In the ring, King hit a Death Valley Driver on Creed, Kingston answered with a guillotine leg drop, and Bandido took Kingston down with a cutter. Creed then countered Bandido’s 21 Plex into a fisherman buster.
The fight went back to the floor, where Bandido called for King to grab a table. Kingston swung a chair at Bandido and missed, and neither team made it back to the ring.
Result: Brodido vs. The New Level ended in a double count-out (6:45).
After the match, King set up a table on the floor next to the entrance ramp, and security came out to separate the teams. Kingston dove off the ramp with a crossbody that put both him and King through the table. Bandido and Creed fought to the back, and security pulled Kingston and King apart when they got up and wanted more.
AEW honors veterans
AEW aired a Veterans Day video honoring those who have served in the armed forces, including members of its roster. It recognized the military backgrounds of Carlie Bravo, Shawn Dean, who served on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, Trish Adora, Bobby Lashley and Swerve Strickland, who spoke about growing up in a military family.
“Being a part of a military family, the values that I took from that carried over to my wrestling career,” Strickland said.
Brawling Birds and Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron
Footage aired from Renee Paquette in the locker room after Blood and Guts, where AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor, the Brawling Birds, bickered with their Full Gear challengers, Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron, known as Wrathlander. The two teams had been on the same side in the match. The Brawling Birds said Wrathlander looked “a bit banged up” and offered to give them a couple of weeks to rest. Wrathlander suggested the champions were intimidated, saying they were friends first, then allies, and then a team. Both teams said they were ready, and the segment ended with “may the best team win.” The Brawling Birds defend the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship against Statlander and Cameron on Saturday at Full Gear.
David Finlay vs. Orange Cassidy
Commentary noted that Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly will team with the Death Riders against The Cut in the Anarchy in the Arena match at Full Gear. Everyone else was banned from ringside for this match. Strong and O’Reilly joined Cassidy on the stage for his entrance but did not go to the ring with him.
Renee Paquette said Finlay told her earlier that he was ready to take Cassidy’s head off over the incident involving Juice Robinson on Collision. When she asked Cassidy about it, he responded, “Whatever.”
Cassidy hid Finlay’s shillelagh under the ring apron before the bell. Cassidy started fast with a roll-up, a backslide and a crucifix for near falls, then went back to his hands-in-pockets offense. He hit a dropkick and a tope that sent Finlay into the barricade, but Finlay caught his crossbody and hit a backbreaker heading into the break.
Finlay dropped Cassidy with a rolling elbow while Cassidy had his hands in his pockets. Cassidy fought back, sending Finlay into the turnbuckles and hitting a Stundog Millionaire and a DDT, then bit Finlay’s forehead and raked his back, which commentary called a page out of Jon Moxley’s playbook, and hit a diving DDT. Finlay rolled to the floor, pulled a steel chair from under the ring and slid it inside.
While referee Bryce Remsburg was busy clearing the chair from the ring, Finlay hit Cassidy with the shillelagh and covered him for the win.
Result: David Finlay defeated Orange Cassidy.
Remsburg found the shillelagh afterward, but Finlay denied using it, and commentary noted the referee never saw him use it. Strong and O’Reilly ran out and hit the ring, while Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn showed up at the barricade. With Strong and O’Reilly’s attention on the Gunns, Clark Connors came out of nowhere and speared Cassidy.
Andrade on losing the AEW National Championship
Backstage, with his framed contract for an AEW World Championship match beside him, Renee Paquette asked Andrade about losing the AEW National Championship to Tommaso Ciampa last Saturday on Collision.
“Being the AEW National Champion means everything to me,” Andrade said. “That championship wasn’t just something I wore around my waist. It represented everything I fought for to get back here.”
“They say when one door closes, another door opens. Now I can see a much bigger door,” Andrade added. “I am going to make history as the first ever Latino AEW World Champion.”
Andrade’s United Empire partner Mike Bailey challenges Ciampa for the title later tonight.
Stokely Hathaway on FTR vs. Motor City Machine Guns
Backstage with Lexy Nair, it was noted that Tony Khan has announced the winners of tonight’s Match 5 between FTR and the Motor City Machine Guns will face whoever walks out of Full Gear as AEW World Tag Team Champions.
“Dax can’t take his beautiful wife out to dinner based on respect. He can’t send his daughter to college based on respect. Cash can’t buy a new Hellcat based on respect,” Stokely Hathaway said. “You know how they get all those things? Wins and championships. So that’s why they will become four-time AEW World Tag Team Champions.”
Persephone vs. Gypsy Mac
CMLL Women’s Champion Persephone came out with Britt Baker, who joined commentary. Two weeks ago on Dynamite, Queen Aminata beat Persephone for the TBS Championship. Baker said she wouldn’t take credit for anything because “Persephone is a star.” Persephone dominated with a dropkick and a lariat and won with a crucifix bomb.
Result: Persephone defeated Gypsy Mac in a non-title match (1:30).
Afterward, Persephone grabbed a headset and accused Aminata of stealing the TBS Championship.
Aminata defends the TBS Championship against Skye Blue and Hyan in a three-way later tonight.
Hangman Adam Page and Brody King on the Texas Death match
Backstage, Renee Paquette asked Hangman Adam Page what changed, since he had resisted Swerve Strickland’s demand for a Texas Death match.
“I have fought with Swerve Strickland for three years, three years of my life, and I’ve come to understand him. I know him more than anyone on this earth,” Page said. “For the first time, I will admit I am at a loss, and I do not understand, because Swerve has demanded that this match be Texas Death. It is the most dangerous thing that you can do in your entire career, to walk into Texas Death, to walk in not knowing if you will ever walk again.”
“I have resisted. I have told everyone to resist, to not give him what he wants. But now I am forced to reckon with the fact that truly, this is not just about me anymore,” Page added. “Brody King, Señor Bandido, they want Texas Death. They need Texas Death. And on Saturday, I will cast aside any hesitation that I may have. I will walk side by side with these two men, my brothers, and I will walk directly into the mouth of hell.”
Brody King said that “for years, hate was my worth” and that Bandido showed him a different way.
“But on Saturday, I get to be the old me,” King said. “In a Texas Death match, a man has to come to peace with the atrocities he’s willing to commit and pray that there’s a God willing to forgive him. Well, lucky for me, I don’t believe in God. I believe in violence.”
Bandido closed the segment with a message for The New Level and a finger gun.
Best-of-five series, Match 5: FTR vs. Motor City Machine Guns
The series is tied 2-2, and the winners now also become No. 1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Stokely Hathaway was with FTR. Commentary noted that Alex Shelley’s knee was hurt by Cash Wheeler after Match 3 and was hurt again in Match 4 last Saturday on Collision. The Young Bucks defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle at Full Gear, so tonight’s winners face whoever leaves Phoenix with the titles.
Shelley started the match despite the knee and took Wheeler down with a side headlock takeover and a headscissors before working on his arm. FTR went after Shelley’s left knee and cut him off from his corner. Sabin made a tag while Wheeler had the referee distracted, so it didn’t count, and Shelley stayed in as FTR worked him over.
Shelley finally got the tag to Sabin through Harwood’s legs. Sabin unloaded on both members of FTR and hit a running DDT for a near fall. Wheeler raked Shelley’s eyes and hammered Sabin, and Harwood went for a rolling thunder and a jackknife pin that Sabin rolled through. Wheeler then hit Sabin with the ring bell from the floor behind the referee’s back, and Harwood covered Sabin for a near fall.
Sabin came back with a missile dropkick on Wheeler, and Shelley nearly won it with a backslide. Harwood and Shelley traded strikes. Late in the match, Shelley dove off the apron with a flying knee on Hathaway. Back in the ring, the Motor City Machine Guns hit their finisher on Harwood, but Wheeler broke up the pin as the crowd chanted “holy sh*t.”
Hathaway tripped Shelley as he went for a suplex on Harwood, which led to a near fall. Shelley went after Hathaway, and FTR hit Shelley with the Shatter Machine, but Sabin broke up the pin. Sabin dropped Hathaway with Cradle Shock, then FTR hit both Sabin and Shelley with spike piledrivers. Harwood covered Shelley, who kicked out at the last moment.
Justin Roberts announced one minute left in the 20-minute time limit. With about 30 seconds remaining, FTR went for another Shatter Machine, but Shelley avoided it and rolled up Harwood for the three count.
Result: The Motor City Machine Guns defeated FTR (about 19:50) to win the best-of-five series 3-2 and become No. 1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Afterward, the two teams shook hands as the fans applauded, while Hathaway watched from the floor.
AEW National Championship: Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs. Mike Bailey
Renee Paquette said Ciampa told her the title he calls “Ruby” has “finally come back home where she belongs,” and had a message for Bailey: “You can tell Karate Kid to go kick rocks. This ain’t the movies. The underdog doesn’t win.”
A video recapped Ciampa winning the title from Andrade last Saturday on Collision, after Bailey inadvertently took out the referee. Commentary noted it is Ciampa’s second AEW title in less than a year, after he won the TNT Championship in his first AEW match.
Both men came out swinging, with Bailey peppering Ciampa’s chest with kicks. A few minutes in, Ciampa hit Willow’s Bell, and when Bailey rolled to the floor, Ciampa followed with a running knee that drove Bailey’s head into the ring steps. Bailey was bleeding from the forehead heading into the break.
Ciampa hit an Air Raid Crash on the apron, the move he used to beat Mark Briscoe for the TNT Championship, and controlled Bailey for a stretch. Bailey came back and got Ciampa stuck in the tree of woe, then threw kicks while seated on the top turnbuckle until Ciampa bit his foot. Bailey hit the Ultima Weapon for a near fall.
Ciampa answered with an avalanche Project Ciampa off the middle rope for a near fall. He lowered his knee pad and drilled Bailey with a running knee for another near fall, and Ciampa couldn’t believe it. When Ciampa grabbed him, Bailey slapped him and threw his mouthguard at him. Ciampa hit another running knee and pinned him.
Result: Tommaso Ciampa defeated Mike Bailey to retain the AEW National Championship (15:55).
After the match, Ilya Dragunov made his entrance in street clothes while Ciampa clutched the title. Dragunov went face to face with Ciampa, shoved him back and pointed to the big screen, which showed a graphic for Ciampa vs. Dragunov for the AEW National Championship on Saturday at Full Gear. Ciampa offered a handshake, but when Dragunov reached for it, Ciampa flipped him off and left the ring.
Commentary also confirmed that Marina Shafir challenges Mercedes Moné for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Full Gear.
Mercedes Moné and Jay White vs. Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir
Renee Paquette said she caught up with Moxley and Shafir, who gave the same answer: “We thrive being overlooked and underestimated. The Death Riders are absolute best when our backs are against the wall.” Commentary noted the Death Riders are without Claudio Castagnoli and may be without Orange Cassidy, who was still being checked by doctors after Connors’ spear. On Collision last Saturday, Moné confronted Moxley in what turned out to be a coordinated attack with The Cut.
White and AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné came out with several members of The Cut, while AEW Continental Champion Moxley and Shafir came through the crowd. Referee Stephon Smith ejected The Cut from ringside before the bell. The match wasn’t fought under traditional mixed tag rules.
Moxley attacked White from behind, and the Death Riders took control early, with both White and Moné sent into the announce desk. Shafir climbed the corner and rained down punches on White, but Moné caught her with a backstabber. White hit a backbreaker on Shafir for a near fall heading into the break, and Moné nearly pinned Shafir when they came back.
Shafir got the tag to Moxley, who hit White with a lariat and a knee, escaped the Blade Runner, dropkicked White to the floor and followed with a tope suicida. Moxley hit White with a piledriver for a near fall and put him in the Bulldog Choke until Moné kicked him. Moné slapped Moxley, and when Moxley grabbed her, White clipped his leg. Moné hit Moxley with a frog splash for a near fall, but Moxley escaped another Blade Runner and hit the Paradigm Shift.
Shafir and Moné got the tags. Shafir hit Moné with a German suplex and kicks. Moné locked the Statement Maker on Moxley while Shafir trapped White in a triangle, but neither woman was legal, so neither hold could end the match. Once they let go, Moxley and Shafir took turns hitting White with running strikes in the corner, and Moné hit Moxley with a Codebreaker.
White put Shafir down with the Blade Runner. Moné hit Moxley with a low blow, but Moxley recovered and dropped her with a cutter. White hit Moxley with a snap dragon suplex, but Moxley got right up and hit a lariat, leaving all four down. With the men on the floor, Moné went for the Money Maker on Shafir, who countered into the Brutalizer for the submission win.
Result: Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir defeated Mercedes Moné and Jay White (14:05). Shafir made Moné submit.
As Moxley and Shafir celebrated, Moné hit Shafir from behind and locked in the Statement Maker as Dynamite went off the air.
Collision opened with Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin, David Finlay and Clark Connors attacking Moxley while Moné kept the hold on Shafir. Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly walked down the ramp and drew The Cut’s attention, and Orange Cassidy, his ribs wrapped, attacked them from behind. Moné fled to ringside as Strong and O’Reilly joined in. O’Reilly went for an ankle lock on Colten Gunn before The Cut pulled him out. Moxley and Cassidy shook hands in the ring, while at ringside Moné hit Shafir with the AEW Women’s World Championship belt.
Triangle of Madness on the TBS Championship
Backstage, Thekla, Julia Hart and Skye Blue, the Triangle of Madness, cut a promo. Thekla recalled Hart having barbed wire shoved in her mouth at Blood and Guts. “Did we cry? Did we complain? No, we loved it, because we know that payback is gonna be so much worse,” Thekla said.
“Aminata, we have a triple threat tonight, but don’t worry about Hyan. All you have to worry about is me, because we’ve done this dance time and time again,” Blue said. “But this time, I’m gonna take your TBS title and your heart with it.”
Hart said Aminata would be first, and then every woman in the Blood and Guts match would feel what she did. “Uh oh, you b*tches are in trouble now,” Thekla said to close.
AEW Collision results
The third hour began with Walker Stewart joining the broadcast team. Excalibur added Místico and Máscara Dorada vs. The Swirl (Blake Christian and Lee Johnson) for the ROH World Tag Team Championship to tonight’s lineup. Commentary also said the Continental Classic selection show is Monday, with the 2026 Continental Classic starting next Wednesday.
The Young Bucks and Jack Perry vs. Kevin Knight, Brian Cage and El Clon
The Young Bucks teamed with Jack Perry against Don Callis Family members Kevin Knight, Brian Cage and the returning El Clon. Commentary noted that Mark Davis and Jake Doyle beat the Young Bucks in a lopsided match a few weeks ago, and the Bucks defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Davis and Doyle at Full Gear. Don Callis did not come to ringside.
Perry and the Bucks stood tall over their opponents heading into the break. El Clon, in his first AEW match in three months, then trapped Perry’s foot, and Kevin Knight came off the top with a lariat as the Don Callis Family took over. The Bucks and Perry fought back with superkicks, sending Cage head first into the steel steps.
Back from the break, Knight hit Perry with a dropkick and the Doomsday for a near fall. The Bucks hit stereo crossbodies and superkicks, and Perry hit a running kick off the barricade on Cage. Knight kicked out of a Bucks combination, and Knight hit a UFO splash that the Bucks broke up.
Cage took a double superkick from the Bucks and yelled, “Come on.” The Bucks and Perry kept throwing kicks at Cage until all three opponents were down. The Bucks then hit El Clon with the BTE Trigger, and Matt Jackson pinned him.
Result: The Young Bucks and Jack Perry defeated Kevin Knight, Brian Cage and El Clon (15:05).
Backstage after the match, Perry called out Samoa Joe: “Samoa Joe, I haven’t forgotten about you. You still owe me something, and I am coming for my rematch.”
The Bucks were asked about Davis and Doyle. “Davis and Doyle, we admit it. You guys took us out. It was probably the worst defeat of our entire career,” Matt Jackson said. “We’re the founding fathers. We’re the elite of the elite. We’re the Young Bucks. And there isn’t anybody in this business who outperforms us in big match scenarios when your back’s against the wall and the title’s on the line. We’re the best. So at the end of the night at Full Gear, we’ll still be four-time AEW Tag Team Champions.”
Wardlow vs. Nick Comoroto
Wardlow, who threw Darby Allin off the top of the cage at Blood and Guts, faced Nick Comoroto, who has been teaming with Aaron Solo and Griff Garrison on ROH programming. Commentary noted Wardlow beat Comoroto in their only previous singles match, on Rampage in 2022. Mark Davis and Jake Doyle watched from ringside. Wardlow won with a powerbomb.
Result: Wardlow defeated Nick Comoroto (1:40).
Wardlow went for another powerbomb after the match. Solo and Garrison tried to make the save, but Davis and Doyle took them out, and Wardlow powerbombed Comoroto again.
Hyan ahead of the TBS Championship match
Backstage with Lexy Nair, Hyan was joined by the returning Maya World, a former TBS Champion. “Absolutely, I want my TBS Championship back. At All In, point blank period, I got screwed. Then I got injured, but now I’m back,” World said. She added that tonight was about Hyan, who “has been grinding for years for a moment like this.” Hyan said she had just celebrated one year in AEW and warned Queen Aminata and Skye Blue not to take her for granted. Hyan agreed World would get the first title shot if she wins.
“I’m gonna show up. I’m gonna show out. I’m gonna show everybody why I deserve to be the next TBS Champion,” Hyan said.
ROH World Tag Team Championship: Místico and Máscara Dorada (c) vs. The Swirl
The Swirl, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson, came out with their mentor Jay Lethal, who walked back after the entrance. Commentary noted The Swirl went 4-1 in New Japan’s Super Junior Tag League, where Místico also competed, and that Místico and Dorada were going for their fourth straight title defense.
Christian offered a Code of Honor handshake, then pulled his hand away when Dorada reached for it and flipped him off. Místico dropped Christian onto Dorada’s knees heading into the break. Christian hit Místico with a Destroyer on the apron, and The Swirl hit stereo triangle moonsaults to the floor, with Christian clipping the edge of the announce desk. Místico survived a near fall.
Late in the match, Dorada cleared Christian from the ring with a huracanrana and followed with a corkscrew dive onto him on the floor. Johnson avoided La Mística, but Místico countered the counter and rolled Johnson up for the pin.
Result: Místico and Máscara Dorada defeated The Swirl to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship (9:00).
After the match, Nick Wayne cut off the champions’ music and came out with his videographer to brag about pinning Chris Jericho twice.
TBS Championship: Queen Aminata (c) vs. Skye Blue vs. Hyan
Skye Blue and Hyan came out first, and Queen Aminata got the bigger reaction. Renee Paquette said Aminata survived being thrown through a table by Persephone at Blood and Guts, and this was the first defense of her first title reign in AEW. A pre-taped Aminata promo aired during her entrance.
“Sky, I thought you learned your lesson in that cage, but I guess not. You’re back for more tonight,” Aminata said. “And Hyan, I did not have a problem with you until you almost ended my dream at WrestleDream.”
Aminata wrestled with athletic tape on her neck and upper back. Hyan went for quick roll-ups on the champion early, and commentary noted Hyan was the only one of the three who wasn’t in the Blood and Guts match. Before the break, Hyan dropped Blue on top of Aminata.
Excalibur plugged ROH Final Battle on December 4 in San Antonio, where Hyan challenges Athena for the ROH Women’s World Championship. Aminata put Hyan down with a drop toe hold onto a chair on the floor and hit a missile dropkick from the apron. Blue threw a chair at Aminata while referee Paul Turner was checking on Hyan. Hyan and Blue traded near falls, and Aminata broke up a Blue pin attempt. Back in the ring, Aminata hit Blue with a release German suplex and the Off With Her Head knee strike for the pin.
Result: Queen Aminata defeated Skye Blue and Hyan to retain the TBS Championship (9:30).
After the match, Britt Baker came out and distracted Aminata, and Persephone attacked the champion from behind. Persephone grabbed the title belt and said it was hers, then hit Hyan with it. Maya World ran out, and Baker pulled Persephone out of the ring.
Excalibur then announced that Tony Khan made it official: Aminata defends the TBS Championship against two former champions, Persephone and Maya World, in a three-way on the Tailgate Brawl pre-show on Saturday before Full Gear.
