AEW Dynamite & Collision Results: May 20, 2026 – Darby Allin Retains AEW World Title Over Speedball, O’Reilly Survives Moxley, More

The LIVE 3-HOUR SPECIAL AEW Dynamite and Collision from Portland, Maine, on TBS and HBO Max was the final stop before AEW Double or Nothing this Sunday in New York!

AEW World Champion Darby Allin somehow pulled off his seventh defense of the title in an epic match against “Speedball” Mike Bailey, although the damage continues to accumulate ahead of his Title vs. Hair match against MJF on Sunday. The AEW World Tag Team Championship match at Double or Nothing will also stay as scheduled after FTR eked by The Conglomeration to keep the titles thanks to a gold watch and Stokely.

Meanwhile, Kyle O’Reilly wanted to submit Jon Moxley for a third time. He wasn’t able to do so in the Continental Eliminator, but he did last the full 20 minutes, earning an AEW Continental Championship match at Double or Nothing, where there will be no time limit! 

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Mark Briscoe and Tommaso Ciampa made full use of their Anything Goes stipulation. And after months of frustration, Briscoe finally got his revenge and decisive victory after both men busted each other open with everything from kendo sticks to staplers to barbed wire!

And on a night with so much action and excitement heading into Double or Nothing, Willow Nightingale informed the world that she injured her shoulder over the weekend on Collision and was forced to withdraw from the Owen Cup and relinquish the TBS Title. Plus, Will Ospreay beat Katsuyori Shibata and had plenty to say to Samoa Joe days before they meet in New York!

What a jam-packed night of action in Portland on the road to Double or Nothing! Here are your complete results!

Jericho & the Young Bucks Have Two Names for One Team!

At a lighthouse in Portland earlier today, the Young Bucks and Jericho went through their history as founding fathers and opponents, including the first Stadium Stampede match and when Jericho kicked Papa Buck’s ass. Jericho apologized for that (even though he totally deserved it).

Jericho said tonight is the first time he’s ever tagged with the Bucks, who he called one of the greatest tag teams of all time. The Bucks wanted to call their team The Bucks of Jericho. Jericho proposed Y2Jackson. Then they combined the names. Two names, one team!

Trios Match: Ricochet & Don Callis Family’s Andrade El Ídolo and AEW National Champion Mark Davis def. Jericho & Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson)

Apparently, their earlier meeting left out the part where Jericho and the Bucks had matching ring jackets made, and we got an extended look at them while the crowd sang “Judas.” Don Callis joined commentary as this one got underway with Ricochet tagging out to Andrade instead of facing Jericho. Nothing wrong with that, as this was the first time Jericho and Andrade had been in the ring together! 

Jericho chopped Andrade in the corner and whipped him to the opposite side, but Andrade bailed to the floor and got a picture with a pair of admirers! Andrade turned around into a chop from Jericho, who then sent him into the steel steps. Jericho brought Andrade back in and tagged Nick Jackson. Matt came in as well, and Andrade was sent to the corner. Matt and Nick each charged, but got sent to the apron. Jericho smashed Andrade with a running clothesline as the Bucks hit stereo enzuigiris to Andrade’s head! Jericho came off the second rope with a dropkick, so the Bucks and Jericho kept the offense going with a triple-team fist drop/moonsault/splash combo on the grounded Andrade!

Andrade pushed Nick into the corner and tagged Davis for the first time. He immediately took Nick down and squished him with a standing senton. Ricochet tagged in and immediately tagged Andrade, but their double-team attempt on Nick was reversed into a meeting of the minds! Matt tagged back in and fought off all three opponents, including a sliced bread on Andrade while running up Ricochet’s chest! Ricochet tried a backslide, so Matt reversed it into a neckbreaker across his knee. Matt slid under the bottom rope and put a superkick flush on Davis’ chin. Matt grabbed Andrade for three Northern Lights Suplexes, and when he went for a fourth, Ricochet pulled him away, only for Matt to turn the momentum into a facebuster quickly. Matt got Ricochet and Andrade with a Double Northern Lights Suplex and dove onto Andrade and Ricochet on the floor! Jericho followed from the top rope and took down Ricochet, Davis and Andrade! Jericho and the Bucks posed in the ring, and Portland loved it!

The Callis Family turned it around and isolated Nick for a brief time until he used a wristlock armdrag/tijeras combo to take down Ricochet and Davis! Nick tagged Jericho as Ricochet tagged Andrade. Jericho knocked Davis off the apron and put Andrade down with a pair of shoulder blocks. Andrade sent Jericho over the top to the apron, so Jericho ran to the top rope and came down with a double axehandle. He seemed to be setting up for a Lionsault, but was distracted by Ricochet on the apron, who was sent to the floor for his interruption. Jericho put Andrade on the top rope, and quickly, all six men were in the ring with Jericho and the Bucks in control at three different corners. They all landed punches, and Matt started things with a top-rope hurricanrana to Ricochet, which Nick copied on Davis, and then ended with Jericho hitting his own hurricanrana to send Andrade from the top turnbuckle to the mat!

The Bucks and Jericho lined up Andrade, but Andrade ducked the Judas Effect only to walk into a pair of superkicks from the Bucks and right back to a Codebreaker from Jericho! Ricochet broke up the pin just in time. Jericho tagged Nick, who also brought in Matt, and they called for a Superkick Party! They peppered Andrade with kicks all over and then did the same to Davis! Ricochet flew at them with a springboard, but ate a double superkick on the way down! Andrade avoided a charge from Nick in the corner and completed Three Amigos on Matt. He followed with a suplex to Nick on Matt. Andrade tried for the double moonsault, but Matt was ready with his knees on Andrade’s second attempt. Nick jumped off Matt for a Canadian Destroyer on Andrade! The Bucks hit a BTE Trigger on Andrade! Ricochet broke it up with a Ricosault! 

Ricochet tried to swing at Jericho, so Jericho ducked and grabbed him for the Walls of Jericho, which Ricochet spun out of and got back to his feet. Ricochet hit a rising knee, only for Jericho to come right back with a clothesline to send Ricochet to the floor. Jericho slid under the bottom rope with a kick to Ricochet, but when he tried to follow, Ricochet slammed Jericho’s head into the announce desk. They fought into the timekeeper’s area, where Jericho put Ricochet and himself through a pair of tables with a back suplex from on top of the barricade! Meanwhile, back in the ring, Davis broke up the Bucks’ double-team attempt on Andrade. Davis and Andrade isolated Matt until Andrade missed a spinning back elbow and hit Davis instead! The Bucks hit double superkicks on Andrade and then another BTE Trigger! Andrade kicked out in the nick of time! The Bucks were stunned!

As the Bucks set Andrade up for the flipping piledriver, Davis distracted the referee with a chair on the floor while The Dogs attacked the Young Bucks! David Finlay cracked Matt with a shillelagh, and Andrade pinned Matt for the victory! Toa Liona hit the ring to attack the Bucks, so “Jungle” Jack Perry came to their rescue with…a bag of onions?! He ducked a charge from Liona and smashed him over the head with the onions! Liona shook it off and trucked Perry! The Hurt Syndicate hit the ring and immediately fought with Liona and Davis! 

Lashley and Liona fought in and out of the ring while Benjamin and Davis brawled into the crowd. Finlay and Perry battled it out elsewhere in the arena, and this is a perfect preview for Sunday’s Spring Stampede! Lashley and Liona wound up back in the ring, where Lashley put him down with a massive spear! The fights started to die down, but they’ll pick back up with the biggest Stadium Stampede ever on Sunday at Double or Nothing!

Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita Comes to a Boiling Point

We took a look at the complicated history between Okada and Takeshita, including Takeshita agreeing to tag with Okada to then face him for the AEW International Championship. Takeshita wound up abandoning Okada in their loss to the Young Bucks, which should have broken the deal, but Okada said he still wanted the match. Don Callis has done everything he can to keep a semblance of peace between the two, but that all goes out the window at Double or Nothing!

AEW World Champion Darby Allin Addresses Speedball and MJF

Renee Paquette asked AEW World Champion Darby Allin about taking an AEW World Title defense against “Speedball” Mike Bailey just four days before defending against MJF in a Hair vs. Title match at Double or Nothing. Allin said he feels everything. He’s not numb to the pain. People keep asking him why every week? Allin said he had no choice. This is what he thought it would be. It’s the greatest feeling in the world to be an AEW World Champion. He explained that he wanted MJF’s hair because he’s the most vain person alive, and if his hair is gone, it will eat MJF alive. Allin addressed Bailey and said he’ll do anything it takes to hang onto the AEW World Title and wants Bailey to do the same. He reiterated he’ll do whatever it takes.

The Full History of MJF and Darby Allin Before Hair vs. Title

That brought us to a look at the long and storied history of Allin and MJF, which took a major turn when Allin beat MJF for the AEW World Title in a matter of minutes just three days after Dynasty. As Allin continued to defend the AEW World Championship, MJF continued to beg for an AEW World Title match, only to be rebuffed over and over until he agreed to put his hair on the line!

Anything Goes Match: Mark Briscoe def. "Psycho Killer" Tommaso Ciampa

The referee is only out there to ring the bell and call the decision because ANYTHING GOES in this one, and Briscoe came out with a can full of weapons, which he immediately tossed at Ciampa in the ring! 

The bell rang, and we were off with Ciampa taking a wild swing at Briscoe with a kendo stick and missing, so Briscoe lit him up with punches. Ciampa fought back until Briscoe put him down with a thrust to the neck. Briscoe came back with a slingblade forearm and tried to hit Ciampa with the trash can, but Ciampa kicked him in the knee and hit Briscoe with the can. Ciampa found his own can of weapons under the ring and reached down to the bottom, but with an angry exclamation, his mood immediately changed. His hand was caught in a mouse trap large enough to catch a New York City rat! Briscoe kicked Ciampa through the ropes and followed outside to continue his offense with a mop that he broke across Ciampa’s back! Briscoe set up a table and a chair next to each other and sat Ciampa in it. He got up on the apron and ran down with a diving Blockbuster to Ciampa on the floor!

Briscoe choked Ciampa with a chain and put him on the table with the chain wrapped around Ciampa! Briscoe went to the top rope, but Ciampa got up to meet him. He wrapped the chain around Briscoe’s neck and flung him through the table on the floor! The crowd was stunned into a “HOLY SHIT” chant! Ciampa produced a cheese grater back in the ring and dragged it across Briscoe’s forehead over and over, which drew a significant amount of blood! 

Ciampa started using anything he could find to continue his assault on Briscoe on the outside. With Briscoe in bad shape, Ciampa started to taunt the crowd by fighting a stuffed chicken until Briscoe blinded him with a fire extinguisher! Ciampa met Briscoe with a cookie sheet across the head, but Briscoe yelled through his crimson mask and shook it off! Briscoe punched Ciampa repeatedly and flipped him to the mat with an exploder. Ciampa rolled to the floor, and Briscoe wasn’t far behind to find another table under the ring. Briscoe set it up near the apron in front of the announce table as Ciampa struggled to get back to his feet. Briscoe nailed him with a cookie sheet and returned to the table, where he stapled barbed wire to the table! He took a few breaks to keep Ciampa down, but eventually, he took too long, and Ciampa threw a trash can at him. Ciampa used the barbed wire as floss in Briscoe’s mouth! Ciampa used the staple gun to attach multiple pieces of paper to Briscoe’s already bleeding head! 

Briscoe crawled around the mat with paper still stapled to his head, as Ciampa put on a tack-covered knee pad! He charged at Briscoe, but Briscoe saw it coming and sent Ciampa head-first into a chair with a drop toe hold! Briscoe got a screwdriver and jabbed it into Ciampa’s face and forehead! Ciampa saw his own blood for the first time in the match! Somehow, Ciampa came back with a suplex into a chair set up in the corner. He went for the first pin of the match, and Briscoe kicked out! As the two struggled to their feet, the enthusiastic crowd chanted “AEW!” Ciampa stopped a strike battle with a rake of Briscoe’s eyes, and then he nailed Briscoe with the tack-covered knee in the head! Ciampa could have ended it there, but once again, he went for an Avalanche Psycho Driller through a pair of chairs. Briscoe fought Ciampa off and turned the chairs so the impact would hit the top of the chair back instead of the seat! He flipped Ciampa over his head and onto the increasingly unforgiving steel! 

Briscoe brought Ciampa to the apron and put him through a table on the floor with a Jay Driller! Briscoe made it a certainty with a Froggy Bow from the top to get the pinfall victory! What a war!

Bandido Brings the Fight to Swerve!

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to introduce Swerve Strickland, but was quickly interrupted by Prince Nana, who insulted Schiavone and sent him from the ring. Nana gave Swerve his own introduction, and Strickland was back on Dynamite! He only made it a few feet down the ramp before ROH World Champion and Strickland’s Owen Cup opponent, Bandido, attacked him from behind as revenge for Strickland’s ambush at Friday’s ROH Supercard of Honor! 

Bandido stayed on Swerve and sent him into the guard rails. Swerve tried to turn things around and sent Bandido into the ring. Bandido knocked Swerve off the apron and flew over the top with a swanton dive! Bandido threw Strickland into the steel steps and turned around just in time to stop Nana from hitting him with a chair. That was enough time for Swerve to recover and kick Bandido in the back of the knee. Strickland rained down hammer blows across Bandido and threw him into the ring. Swerve set up a chair and picked up Bandido for a Vertebreaker, but Bandido stopped him, and Gorilla Pressed Swerve with one arm! Bandido grabbed the chair and thought about using it before setting it back up in the middle of the ring. He bounced off the ropes, so Swerve threw the chair at him. Bandido deflected it and picked up the chair to go after Swerve, who bailed to the floor and left up the ramp with Nana.

Willow Nightingale Relinquishes TBS Title, Drops Out of Owen Cup Due to Shoulder Injury

Nightingale said winning the TBS Championship was one of the greatest moments of her career. She’s had a lot of great moments, including winning the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, winning the TBS Title the first time and being one-half of the first-ever AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions. But beating Mercedes Moné to win back the TBS Title meant that she proved to the world that she’s everything she said she would be. And as champion, she would fight any challenger that stepped, and if she couldn’t do that, she didn’t deserve to be TBS Champion. 

As fate would have it, Nightingale injured her right shoulder over the weekend in a successful title defense against ROH Women’s World TV Champion Red Velvet. Nightingale wants so badly to wrestle at Double or Nothing in front of her family at home in New York against Alex Windsor. She wants to go on in the Owen Cup and win the AEW Women’s World Title at All In London. But unfortunately, she has to withdraw from the tournament and relinquish the TBS Championship. Nightingale said it’s been an honor and a privilege to be the TBS Champion, and after 10 successful defenses, it’s been a joy to be the Face of TBS. She doesn’t know when she’ll be back, but when she does, she’s coming right back to the top. Nightingale put the TBS Title down and thanked everyone. 

As a result, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena vs. Mina Shirakawa in the quarterfinals will now take place at Double or Nothing. Alex Windsor will await a new Wild Card opponent.

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match: Jon Moxley (c) and AEW World Trios Champion Kyle O'Reilly Fought to a 20-Minute Time Limit

While Moxley made his way to the ring, Renee Paquette reported from ringside that this is O’Reilly’s first singles match in nearly six months. He became an AEW World Trios Champion since returning, but now has a chance to tap out Moxley for a third straight time. Paquette said Moxley told her that he’s a different man than he was six months ago. 

Moxley and O’Reilly cautiously circled each other and wrestled a bit more methodically than we’ve seen in their last two encounters. O’Reilly controlled Moxley on the mat and seemed to frustrate him, so Moxley got back up and took a kick from O’Reilly. Moxley got control of O’Reilly’s arm until O’Reilly escaped and mounted Moxley, but Moxley rolled away. A clean break at the ropes turned into a pair of cheap shots from Moxley. He worked O’Reilly into the corner with an elbow strike and a chop. Another chop put O’Reilly on the mat, so Mox stomped on his hand. He stayed on O’Reilly’s left arm, so O’Reilly changed levels and lit Moxley up with kicks. O’Reilly had Moxley limping and kept him down for a near-fall. Moxley and O’Reilly traded a barrage of strikes, but Mox caught O’Reilly with a body shot that crumpled O’Reilly to the mat. 

Moxley took advantage with an eye rake and a combo of strikes on O’Reilly against the ropes. O’Reilly sent Moxley over the top to the floor, but when he tried to charge up to dive, O’Reilly fell to the mat in pain. Moxley pounced on O’Reilly and smelled blood in the water. Moxley continued to punish O’Reilly on the floor until a double clothesline knocked both men down. O’Reilly and Mox got back in the ring, where O’Reilly stomped on the back of Moxley’s leg and climbed to the top rope. O’Reilly was too slow to get on the top rope, so Moxley cut him off and brought O’Reilly down with a superplex with five minutes left in the time limit! 

O’Reilly escaped Moxley’s Bulldog Choke and tried to get an ankle lock, but Moxley sensed it and worked back into the Bulldog Choke. O’Reilly got a rope break, and the two fought on the apron until he wrenched Moxley’s arm into the apron. O’Reilly hit Moxley with a running dropkick near the barricade and threw him back into the ring. Moxley popped up with a cutter on O’Reilly for a two-count! O’Reilly put an arm triangle on Moxley, who got back to his feet, so O’Reilly launched him with an exploder! O’Reilly connected with a stinging PK, and both men were down. Moxley and O’Reilly got to their feet and exchanged strikes with ONE MINUTE REMAINING!

O’Reilly picked Moxley’s ankle and grapevined the leg in the center of the ring! Moxley refused to tap out as the bell rang to signify the 20-minute time limit. As a result of lasting the full 20 minutes, O’Reilly earned a future shot at Moxley’s AEW Continental Championship! O’Reilly grabbed the microphone and said he didn’t survive Moxley; Moxley survived him. He has a legitimate claim to the Continental Title, and when he gets his rematch, it’ll be no time limit, and Moxley will be out of luck! Moxley limped around ringside and yelled at O’Reilly before limping into the crowd.

Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida Aren’t Here to Fight?

Paquette asked Statlander and Shida for their reaction to the Willow Nightingale news. Statlander started to say how awful it was. Still, Shida immediately interrupted her and started talking about how she and Statlander would both be fighting for the AEW Women’s World Title at Double or Nothing. Paquette said Statlander isn’t cleared, but Statlander said she would be by Sunday. Shida said they aren’t here to fight; they are just here to watch the entire division. Statlander told Shida to watch herself and walked off. Shida offered more words of encouragement to everyone in the 8-Woman Tag Match.

RUSH Wants Darby Allin for the AEW World Title Next Week!

An incensed RUSH was backstage and called out AEW World Champion Darby Allin! He said if Allin survives this week, he wants a shot at the AEW World Title next Wednesday on Dynamite. He said if Allin messes with The Bull, he’ll get the horns!

8-Woman Tag Match: Triangle of Madness (AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla, Julia Hart and Skye Blue) & ROH Women’s World Champion Athena def. Thunder Rosa, Mina Shirakawa & Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor)

Rosa and Athena opened things up in this huge tag match with multiple Double or Nothing previews. Athena took Rosa down first, but Rosa came back to take Athena down and followed with a springboard crossbody for a two-count. Rosa tagged Windsor, who immediately ate a throat thrust from Athena that allowed her to tag Blue. Windsor and Blue traded chops until Hayter made a blind tag for some double-team offense punctuated by a big kick to Blue for a near-fall. 

Shirakawa and Thekla tagged in with Shirakawa getting the better of the AEW Women’s World Champion, including a tornillo that almost picked up the win! Shirakawa’s flurry didn’t last much longer, and Thekla made sure to isolate Mina from the rest of her teammates until Windsor got involved. Triangle of Madness seemed to pull at all of Shirakawa and Windsor’s limbs at once while they were hung over the ropes in the corner, which gave Blue a wide open shot for a double dropkick. Athena crushed Shirakawa with a handspring forearm in the corner into an inside cradle, but Shirakawa was able to kick out. Shirakawa finally fought free of Athena and tagged Rosa while Blue tagged in on the opposite side. 

Rosa had Blue reeling with a series of heavy chops and strikes until switching to a basement dropkick to Blue against the ropes. Rosa bridged Blue over with a Northern Lights Suplex, but Thekla broke up the pin. That set off a chain reaction of impactful moves, leaving everyone down except Athena. She dove at Shirakawa on the floor, but went right into Shirakawa’s boot! Athena tried to fight back, so Shirakawa laid her out with a DDT outside the ring! What a statement to make before they meet on Sunday in the Owen Cup!

Rosa hit a big elbow strike on Blue, who stumbled into the corner, where she got a blind tag from Thekla. Blue cracked Rosa with a pair of thrust kicks, but was pulled to the floor by the Brawling Birds. They sandwiched her between a pair of rolling elbows and finished Blue off with a big boot/Russian Leg Sweep combination. Back in the ring, Thekla tried to bring in her AEW Women’s World Title, so the referee stopped her, which allowed Hart to blind Rosa with Black Mist! Thekla rolled up Rosa for the three-count and a win for her team!

The Jet Hypes Up Speedball Before His AEW World Title Match

JetSpeed was in the back with Bailey, warming up for his AEW World Title match against Darby Allin in a matter of minutes. Knight said Bailey would become the next AEW World Champion, and tonight, JetSpeed becomes the faces of AEW. Knight told Bailey not to forget about the “little people” because the TNT Champion would love a shot at the AEW World Title.

Jon Moxley Doesn’t Miss When Everything is on the Line

As the Death Riders churned out push-ups, Renee Paquette asked Jon Moxley how things would be different at Double or Nothing. Tonight, O’Reilly lasted 20 minutes to earn an AEW Continental Championship match on Sunday, which will have no time limit. Moxley popped up from the ground and wondered if that was supposed to be some moral victory. The Death Riders don’t do moral victories. They don’t sweat the small stuff. He thanked O’Reilly for what he did for Moxley. For pushing him to be better. He's driving him crazy because he can’t find a way to beat O’Reilly. He thanked O’Reilly for letting him feel what it's like to be a champion. O’Reilly tapped him out twice. 

“What are the odds you can do it again? You rolled the dice tonight, and you won. On Sunday, ain’t it cute? You go Double or Nothin'! What are your odds? I say the house finally wins. Game 7 is the only game that matters. When the championship is on the line, when everything is on the line, when the game is on the line…yo, do I miss?”

AEW World Championship Match: Darby Allin (c) def. "Speedball" Mike Bailey

After Portland gave plenty of love to both men, especially Allin, they looked across the ring at each other from opposite corners. Before the bell could ring, MJF’s music hit, and he made his way to ringside to join commentary for this Dynamite main event! 

The bell rang, and Bailey flew right at Allin with a kick to put him on the mat! Bailey jumped to the second rope and hit Allin with a dropkick. Bailey went corner-to-corner with a roundhouse spin kick and quickly went back to the second rope for Ultima Weapon, but Allin rolled to the apron. Bailey lit Allin up with a series of kicks, and with Allin stunned, Bailey swept his legs, which sent Allin violently into the corner of the apron! Bailey nailed a Triangle Moonsault to Allin on the floor. MJF said it was beautifully executed, if you’re into that sort of thing. He’s not.

Bailey turned up the intensity with a barrage of punches on Allin. He broke the count by rolling in the ring and came back out to body slam Allin back on the ground. Speedball climbed the steel steps and jumped off to drive his knees into Allin’s chest! Bailey draped Allin over the barricade and set up for the backflip kneedrop, but Allin saw it coming and crotched Bailey on the barricade! Allin joined Bailey on the barricade and picked him up for a devastating Scorpion Death Drop on the rail!

The fight continued outside and erupted into a wild flurry of punches. Allin threw Bailey at the steel steps, so Bailey put on the brakes and cracked Allin in the gut. Allin stopped Bailey from throwing him into the steps, and instead, he trapped Bailey’s foot under the weight of all the steps! Allin charged in, so Bailey nailed him with a thrust kick with the good leg. Once Bailey freed himself, Allin sent him hard into the commentary desk with a torpedo dive! Allin threw Bailey back in and went for a springboard Coffin Drop, but Bailey countered it with a backstabber! 

Bailey fought through the pain and kicked Allin into the corner. He hit another spinning roundhouse kick and tried for Ultima Weapon, but Allin moved, and Bailey landed badly on the mat. Allin went to the top and nailed a Coffin Drop across Bailey’s back! Allin made the cover, but MJF came off commentary to put Bailey’s foot on the rope. The referee admonished MJF, which brought out Kevin Knight to confront MJF. He put his headset back on and assured Knight he was just doing commentary. 

Allin turned away from the confusion on the floor and right into a headlock takeover into a pin by Bailey! Allin kicked out! Allin went for a La Magistral, so Bailey rolled out of it into a crucifix for a near-fall! Allin walked right into a roundhouse kick across his face! Bailey lined up and connected with another spin kick to Allin! He pulled Allin back deep on the pin attempt, yet Allin still kicked out. Bailey nailed a PK and a moonsault knee drop. Allin stumbled up into a nasty thrust kick that sent him to the corner. Bailey tried for the Flamingo Driver, so Darby slipped out of it and went for a Scorpion Death Drop, only for Bailey to slip back into a pin attempt. Allin got out and tried one of his own before picking Bailey back up for a Scorpion Death Drop! Allin was too beat up to get to Bailey in time for a pin attempt. 

Allin stomped Bailey and put him in the Scorpion Death Lock! Knight encouraged Bailey to make it to the ropes, which he finally did, but Allin quickly flattened him with a Coffin Drop. Allin put the Scorpion Death Lock back on, and despite fighting to get to the ropes, Bailey finally tapped out! Allin remains AEW World Champion heading into Double or Nothing! MJF was disgusted and left through the crowd. He’ll put his hair on the line vs. Allin’s AEW World Title on Sunday!

MJF Attacks Allin After AEW World Title Match!

As we moved into Collision, Kevin Knight grabbed the microphone to give praise to Allin and Bailey for what they just did in the AEW World Title match. Knight said now it’s up to Allin to beat MJF and shave him bald so that they can send him back to Turkey! Knight said when Allin wins, they’ll be waiting for him. Don’t let them down.

JetSpeed exited up the ramp, but Allin never saw MJF sneak back to the ring for a blindside attack! MJF mounted Allin and rained down punches across Allin’s head. MJF tried to bask in his efforts, but had to look out at a “BALD” sign while the entire arena chanted “BALD!” MJF retrieved an electric razor from under the ring and tried to cut Allin up, but Allin stopped him and took the razor away. He tried to shave MJF’s head, but MJF escaped back up the ramp!

Will Ospreay def. Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps

With the Death Riders standing by, Daniel Garcia hyped up Ospreay. Renee Paquette gave us a ringside report about Ospreay’s new flying armbar submission, which is called “Death Ground.” Can Ospreay submit Shibata for the first time?

Shibata went for an armbar at the bell, so Ospreay tried the same, and they battled for position until the hold was broken in the ropes. Shibata offered a handshake, so Ospreay flipped him off! Ospreay stopped Shibata and snatched his ankle and worked into a bow-and-arrow. However, Ospreay seemed too interested in playing to the crowd chanting his name, which gave Shibata the chance to escape and catch Ospreay with a knee strike. He took Ospreay to the apron for a suplex and rolled him to the floor for another! Shibata slammed Ospreay’s head off the apron and sat him in a chair. Shibata charged at Ospreay and stopped, only to kick him straight in the face! Shibata and Ospreay traded flurries in the corners until Ospreay caught Shibata with a high boot.

Ospreay fired up the crowd and launched himself over the top to the outside with a plancha! Shibata lured Ospreay in and attacked him on the apron. He began using the barricades to punish Ospreay by any means necessary. Ospreay came back with a desperation corkscrew spin kick that gave him a window to recover. Ospreay kicked Shibata in the chest, but as Shibata tried to fight back, Ospreay smashed him with a springboard forearm for a near-fall. Ospreay worked on Shibata’s left arm while alternating chops. Shibata reversed a powerbomb attempt into a standing guillotine. Shibata backed Ospreay to the corner and connected with a running dropkick. Shibata sent Ospreay over with an underhook suplex for a two-count. 

Shibata delivered a series of kicks, but each one seemed to energize Ospreay. Ospreay got his own kick in on Shibata, which brought Shibata back to his feet. Ospreay hit a back elbow out of nowhere and followed with a Falcon Arrow for another near-fall. Ospreay went to the top and connected with a flying forearm to the back of Shibata’s head! Anthony Bowens came to ringside and distracted Ospreay long enough for Shibata to hit Ospreay with a Hidden Blade! Ospreay kicked out at two! Marina Shafir jumped over the rail to confront Anthony Bowens, who backed up and then up the ramp once he saw Claudio Castagnoli. 

Back in the ring, Shibata blocked an OsCutter and hit an undetected low blow on Ospreay! Shibata rolled Ospreay into a triangle, but Ospreay powered back to his feet and powerbombed Shibata! He pulled him back up for a Styles Clash and flattened Shibata! Ospreay finished Shibata with a Hidden Blade to get the pinfall victory! 

Samoa Joe and Will Ospreay Exchange Threats  

The Death Riders looked pleased as they remained in the crowd while Samoa Joe made his way to the top of the ramp. Ospreay stood alone in the ring while Joe called out the Death Riders, his wonderful friends, saving him again. Joe said not to worry because he’s not here for Ospreay. He only has to wait until Sunday to have Ospreay all to himself. Joe is out to ensure the safety of Bowens and Shibata because they are his friends. Ospreay chose not to be Joe’s friend, and at Double or Nothing, he’ll pay the consequences. At Double or Nothing, he’ll give Ospreay what he wants, his dream match, because he’s going to put Ospreay right to sleep.

Ospreay said this Sunday is a dream come true for him, but Joe is describing it as a nightmare. Ospreay decided to describe his nightmare situation, starting on Sunday morning, which includes reading all the doubters’ comments about his style, health and weight. Ospreay said that’s what happens when you have double fusion neck surgery. Ten years ago, that would have been it. The Aerial Assassin would have been dead. For 20 years, the people have chanted “Joe’s gonna kill you!” 

“Bruv, how you gonna kill a guy who’s died in his bloody ring?” 

Ospreay said he came close to winning the Owen Cup last year, and it has stuck with him ever since. This year, the stakes are different. There’s an AEW World Title shot waiting at Wembley Stadium, a place where he and every kid wanted to be. It’s not just the company on his back; he has a whole country on his back. Ospreay said his nightmare died, and it was in the hands of the Death Riders. They killed Ospreay and rebuilt him into a killer! 

“Sunday, I start my road to fulfill my dream because I’m gonna win the Cup and go on to win the AEW World Championship, bruv!”

Cage and Cope Want the Best FTR

Adam Copeland said he and Christian Cage met in sixth grade because Cage had a ninja star. They both wanted to be tag team champions. They’ve done everything together. They even found out they were having daughters six weeks apart. Through it all, this friendship is real. For more than 30 years, they’ve been coming into your living rooms every week. You watched Cage and Cope grow into men. That’s a connection. FTR wants to kill that connection. Cope wants the best version of FTR because, after they dropped his wife on her head, he needs the best version of FTR. 

“We are going to show up to this match on Sunday because we want to beat the best FTR and make that FTR say, ‘I quit.’”

Cage said FTR has made some questionable choices.

“I always say, when you’re born, you look like your family. And when you die, you look like your choices. And because of those choices, in New York, at Double or Nothing, we are going to f*** you up!”

RUSH def. TJ Crawford

Crawford offered a handshake at the bell, which RUSH accepted and held onto, so he could pull Crawford back into a crushing forearm. RUSH pounded away at Crawford in the corner and backed up to the opposite side. He hit the Bull’s Horns and pinned the lifeless Crawford for the quick win. RUSH reminded everyone once again, “When you mess with the bull, you get the horns!”

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Divine Dominion’s Five-Minute Eliminator Challenge: “Megasus” Megan Bayne & “Colossal” Lena Kross (c) def. Elle Valentine & Kayla Lopez

Divine Dominion made their way to the ring and stood over Renee Paquette as she tried to provide a pre-match report. Kross stopped Paquette and asked how long this was going to take before continuing to the ring. 

Bayne beat Valentine into the corner and took her breath away with multiple shoulders to the gut. Valentine escaped to get one shot at Bayne, which only angered Bayne. She took Valentine into the corner and teed off with a barrage of clubbing forearms. Kross came in and gave Valentine the same treatment with back elbows. Kross threw Valentine to Lopez for a tag. Lopez came in and ran right into a jumping kick from Kross! That was devastating. Kross and Bayne double-teamed Lopez in the corner, which Bayne finished with a German Suplex. Kross and Bayne hit stereo stalling suplexes and put Lopez away with Divine Intervention for another dominant victory. They are 10-0 as a team!

AEW World Tag Team Championship Match: FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) (c) with Stokely def. AEW World Trios Champions The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong)

With their ring jackets still on, FTR attacked The Conglomeration to jumpstart the match and nearly took out Orange Cassidy with the stuff piledriver, but Strong came to his aid and pushed Wheeler off the top. Cassidy rolled Harwood into a tight cover and almost became a double champion! FTR went to the floor to regroup and started to leave up the ramp, so Strong went out to get them. He fought them back towards the ring, which allowed Cassidy to plunge from the top rope onto FTR on the floor! Strong took over in the ring on Harwood, putting him down with a back body drop. Cassidy tagged in and showed no hesitation to go for an Orange Punch, so Harwood rolled to the floor again to regroup.

The advantage didn’t last long, as FTR isolated Strong for several minutes. With the crowd willing Strong back to his feet, Wheeler killed that tag chance by knocking Cassidy off the apron. Strong and Wheeler took each other out with clotheslines, which gave Strong enough of an opening to tag Cassidy finally. Harwood and Wheeler both charged Cassidy before he entered the ring, so he ran each into the turnbuckle. Cassidy went to the top and took Harwood down with a diving elbow. Harwood tried to save Wheeler from Cassidy’s spinning DDT and went for a suplex of their own, but Strong was there to catch Cassidy. Strong ran Harwood into Wheeler and tried to roll up Harwood, but instead Cassidy jumped from the apron with a sunset flip, which Strong aided with a kick. Harwood kicked out just in time!

Strong clotheslined Harwood to the floor, and Cassidy connected with a diving elbow to Harwood. Back in the ring, Wheeler made a blind tag that allowed Harwood to drop Cassidy with a huge spinebuster. Cassidy kicked out at two. Wheeler toyed with Cassidy, as he peppered him with punches and chops while he taunted the crowd. Cassidy fought back to his feet, so Wheeler tagged Harwood, who slid across the ring for a bodyslam. Harwood missed a pair of elbows as Cassidy rolled to the apron, where Wheeler came flying out of nowhere to crash and burn into the corner and down to the floor. Cassidy kicked Harwood into the steel post, while Wheeler fought Strong on the apron. Harwood knocked Strong to the floor and stuck Cassidy with a piledriver! Cassidy kicked out!

FTR was all over Cassidy after the piledriver, as Strong paced helplessly in the opposite corner. Finally, Cassidy made the tag, but the referee didn’t see it! FTR pulled Cassidy back to their corner, and Wheeler made a very deliberate tag in front of the referee. Harwood ate a boot from Cassidy on a charge, so Wheeler tried the same, and Cassidy sent him crotch-first into the second turnbuckle! Strong tagged in! 

Strong hit Harwood with a leg lariat and flying kick, while taking time to strike the still-trapped Wheeler in the corner. Cassidy tagged back in so Strong could use him as a weapon on FTR in opposite corners. Strong threw Cassidy into Wheeler for a DDT and ran to the ropes to kick Harwood on the floor. Cassidy got a two-count on Wheeler, although Stoke was clearly worried. Harwood pulled Strong down and ran him into the ring post. Back in the ring, Cassidy jumped out of the Shatter Machine and trapped Wheeler for a tight pin attempt, which beat Harwood two weeks ago, although Wheeler was able to kick out. 

The crowd was not pleased with referee Paul Turner and let him know it. FTR mocked Cassidy with their own slow kicks and lifted him for a double suplex, but Strong came in to kick Wheeler in the head. Cassidy rolled up Harwood for another near-fall! Harwood dropped Cassidy with a chop/punch/clothesline combo. Stoke got on the apron, and he reached into his pocket for Christian Cage’s stolen watch. He tried to hit Cassidy with it, but missed! Cassidy broke free of Harwood and grabbed Stoke. Harwood charged at Cassidy, but he moved, and Harwood nailed Stoke! Cassidy rolled him up, and Harwood just barely kicked out! 

Harwood stopped an Orange Punch, so Cassidy adjusted into a Stundog Millionaire! Cassidy called for the Orange Punch, but got pulled into a Shatter Machine! Strong broke it up to save the match! Strong and Wheeler spilled over the top to the floor, leaving Harwood and Cassidy alone in the ring. Cassidy tried to put his hands in his pockets, so Harwood picked him up and landed repeated uppercuts. Cassidy transitioned into a backslide for yet another near-fall!

Harwood and Cassidy battled in a waistlock, with Harwood sending Cassidy into the ropes, causing the referee to jump out of the way just in time to miss Stoke cracking Cassidy with the gold watch! Harwood fell on Cassidy to get the three-count! FTR retains! Harwood and Wheeler posed with their AEW World Tag Team Titles and Stoke to bring this special night to a close!
