As technically, it&#8217;s the last thing taped at the Bell Centre here. However, <em><strong>AEW Collision<\/strong><\/em>, which was taped even before <em><strong>AEW Dynamite<\/strong><\/em>, will be the last piece of content to air. Odd indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Bell Centre is infamous for being the home of the 1997 <em><strong>Survivor Series<\/strong><\/em>. Where the Montreal Screw Job took place. And, well, let&#8217;s just say it was quite popular to reference the incident whenever <strong>WWE<\/strong> stopped by for a VERY long time.<\/p>\n<p>The last time it was a prominent reference, but at least not imitated as many would in the past, was for <em><strong>Breaking Point 2009<\/strong><\/em>. As one of the main matches of the show featured<strong> D-X<\/strong>: <strong>Triple H<\/strong> and <strong>Shawn Michaels<\/strong>. They took on <strong>Legacy<\/strong>: <strong>Cody Rhodes<\/strong> and <strong>Ted DiBiase Jr.<\/strong> in a Submissions Count Anywhere match.<\/p>\n<p>And in a cheeky moment, when the crowd started booing Shawn Michaels, Triple H simply claimed it was all Shawn&#8217;s fault\u2014an amusing bit. But if rumors are to be believed, Triple H has quite a good amount of blame for it as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWRampage?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWRampage<\/a> TOMORROW at 10pm ET\/ 9pm CT on TNT!<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWContinentalClassic?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWContinentalClassic<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bryandanielson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@BryanDanielson<\/a> v <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GarciaWrestling?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@GarciaWrestling<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDonCallis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TheDonCallis<\/a> Family\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Takesoup?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@takesoup<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrueWillieHobbs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TrueWillieHobbs<\/a> v <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/facdaniels?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@facdaniels<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattSydal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@mattsydal<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abadon_AEW?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@abadon_AEW<\/a> v <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrishAdora202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@trishadora202<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/orangecassidy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@OrangeCassidy<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanhausenAD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@DanhausenAD<\/a> will appear <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Mlv3uiVomT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Mlv3uiVomT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1732920427650204001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What&#8217;s Coming Up Tonight On AEW Rampage?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Continental Classic Action!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The AEW Continental Classic Tournament has been on fire these past few weeks on <em>Dynamite<\/em> and <em>Collision<\/em>. But this week, we got one on <em>AEW Rampage<\/em> as well. And it happens to involve <strong>Bryan Danielson<\/strong>! It&#8217;s Blue League action with Bryan being behind everyone else by one match due to his orbital bone fracture.<\/p>\n<p>So, of course, the madman decides to make up for it with TWO matches this week. If Bryan wins, that&#8217;s 6 points for him after two matches. But for <strong>Daniel Garcia<\/strong>, it&#8217;s do or die at this point. As it will be his third match and a loss, much like with <strong>Mark Briscoe<\/strong> and <strong>Jay Lethal<\/strong> on <em>Dynamite<\/em>, means that he will be mathematically eliminated from qualifying for the League Finals.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Garcia has in fact defeated Bryan Danielson before. Winning by technical submission at the July 27, 2022 edition of <em>Dynamite<\/em> main event. Can he repeat it and save himself? Or will Bryan continue to dominate after beating the Champion himself <strong>Eddie Kingston<\/strong> last Saturday?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Don Callis Family Continues<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It seems <strong>The Don Callis Family<\/strong> is on<em> Rampage<\/em> duty for now. Last week was a Trios match. This week is a tag team match as <strong>Powerhouse Hobbs<\/strong> and <strong>Konosuke Takeshita<\/strong> team up to take on the former <strong>ROH<\/strong> World Tag Team Champions <strong>Christopher Daniels<\/strong> and <strong>Matt Sydal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>What is next in the pipeline for the Don Callis Family and when will that next step be taken? Let us wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>Also scheduled for the show is <strong>Abadon<\/strong> taking on ROH&#8217;s <strong>Trish Adora<\/strong> as well as appearances by <strong>Orange Cassidy<\/strong> and <strong>Danhausen<\/strong>\u2014all that and more tonight on <em>AEW Rampage<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-50\">\n<p><em>Header photo \u2013 AEW \u2013 Stay tun<\/em><em>ed to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
