It’s the middle of May, and AEW has carried its momentum from April<\/a>. Tonight, another stacked night of Dynamite and Collision is before us. I’ll be honest, it’s a stacked card. Swerve Strickland makes his long-awaited return. Mark Briscoe gets his chance against aggressor Tomasso Ciampa. Ricochet aligns with the Don Callis Family ahead of his upcoming war against Jericho, Hurt Syndicate, and The Elite at AEW Double or Nothing. Jon Moxley tests his mettle one more time against Kyle O’Reilly in an AEW Continental Classic Championship Eliminator.\u00a0 Plus, Darby Allin defends his AEW World Championship against Speedball Mike Bailey.<\/p>\n

I’ve only scratched the surface there! But what exactly will happen?\u00a0 Otherwise, I’m sensing a growing split between Bailey and his JetSpeed partner, Kevin Knight. For Moxley, so much is on the line against O’Reilly beyond his title: his reputation. His temporary protege, Will Ospreay, has his own problems against Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps. For MJF, so much depends on Darby Allin’s success tonight, namely his hair<\/a>. And with Jericho and The Elite finally on the same side of a Stadium Stampede Match, can they coexist against The Demand and Don Callis Family?<\/p>\n

    Results From AEW Dynamite\/Collision Tonight (5\/20\/26)<\/h2>\n

    Jericho and the Young Bucks sightseeing in Maine<\/h2>\n

    The Young Bucks buried the hatchet with Jericho. They then gave themselves a convoluted name: “Bucks of Jericho, Y2Jackson” ahead of their match.<\/p>\n

    Don Callis Family (Mark Davis & Andrade El Idolo) & Ricochet defeated Bucks of Jericho, Y2Jackson (Jericho, Matt Jackson, & Nick Jackson)<\/h2>\n

    Jericho chopped Idolo, maintaining offense until the latter slunk out of the ring. He got chopped again after a quick selfie with two women. Both of the Bucks struck him with superkicks as Jericho charged him in the corner. Davis isolated Nick and clobbered him in the corner. Ricochet and Idolo ganged up on Nick, but Matt tagged in and superkicked Davis. Matt didn’t stop there; he flung Idolo about with a Northern Lights Suplex and a Casadora to Ricochet. Later, Jericho dove at Davis to keep his heaviness out of play.<\/p>\n

    The Bucks and Jericho pummeled their opponents with fists in each corner before hurling them with hurricanranas. Idolo crashed Matt and Nick on the mat via Eddie Guerrero’s Three Amigos. The Bucks retaliated with a BTE Trigger. Jericho tried a Liontamer, but Ricochet wriggled out with a kick. Idolo threw a DM at Nick, ultimately missing and knocking Davis out. Jericho and Ricochet stumbled into some wooden tables set up outside.\u00a0 David Finlay struck Matt with a shillelagh, allowing an exhausted Davis to pin.<\/p>\n

    Post-match:\u00a0<\/strong>Finlay, Clark Connors, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona assaulted the defeated babyfaces. Jack Perry and Hurt Syndicate entered the brawl. Bobby Lashley speared Liona to end the kerfuffle.<\/p>\n

    (The hilarity of Jericho being out of sync with the Bucks was funny. I wonder why Kenny Omega wasn’t involved in the post-match scuffle, since he’s advertised for the Stadium Stampede Match at AEW Double or Nothing.)<\/p>\n

    Darby Allin will do “whatever it takes” against Speedball Mike Bailey & MJF<\/h2>\n

    Renee Paquette asked Allin why he chose to have MJF put his hair on the line for their upcoming rematch. Allin pointed out that it would be a way to have potential hair loss eat him alive. Against Bailey and MJF, Allin concluded he’d do whatever it took to retain his belt.<\/p>\n

    Mark Briscoe defeated Tomasso Ciampa<\/h2>\n

    Briscoe carried an aluminum trash can on his back en route to the ring. Ciampa stole it from him to batter his back. Ciampa pulled out another trash can to pull out a weapon, instead wincing as his hand was caught in a mousetrap. Briscoe exploited this opening with chairs and a mop. The Sussex County Chicken strangled Ciampa with a steel chain and propped him up on a table. The Psycho Killer recovered in just enough time to swing Briscoe by chain into the table. Stroking a cheese grater across Briscoe’s forehead, Ciampa rejoiced at the blood pouring out.<\/p>\n

    Ciampa introduced a stuffed chicken plush into the match, which he attacked. This miraculously didn’t deter Briscoe, who smashed a sheet pan over his head. He stapled some barbed wire onto a wooden table. Ciampa took advantage of this lack of focus to complete Briscoe’s task. Before the Portland audience, Ciampa stapled stacks of papers on Briscoe’s head. Ciampa adorned his knee with a thumbtack-encrusted knee pad. Briscoe responded by shanking him with a screwdriver. Ciampa suplexed Briscoe through a table. After spiking Ciampa on a chair, Briscoe did it again on the barbed-wire table. He finished off Ciampa with a Froggy Bow.<\/p>\n

    (Far more violent than I’d have thought. The cheese grater and the staples were beyond my expectations.)<\/p>\n

    Tony Schiavone was interrupted by Prince Nana; Swerve Strickland returned<\/h2>\n

    Schiavone attempted to announce details for the Owen Hart Tournament. Nana bullied him back to the commentary desk. He beckoned Stricland outside. Before Strickland could enter the ring, Bandido ambushed him and did not relent in his abuse. Nana distracted the luchador, to which Strickland happily leveraged for his own beatdown.<\/p>\n

    Willow Nightingale relinquished her AEW TBS Championship and her spot in the Owen Hart Tournament<\/h2>\n

    Nightingale emotionally, yet with a smile, recalled her TBS title reign. During her match with Red Velvet on the May 16 episode of AEW Collision, however, she injured her shoulder. This meant she had to relinquish her belt and her spot in the Owen Hart tournament.<\/p>\n

    Jon Moxley (c) versus Kyle O’Reilly in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator ended in a time-limit draw<\/h2>\n

    Moxley and O’Reilly grounded each other with submission holds. In the corner, Moxley chopped O’Reilly’s chest, refusing his opponent’s every attempt to return the favor. O’Relly withstood a forearm exchange but crumpled to the mat following a shot to his midsection. A comeback by O’Reilly saw a confident Moxley flying out of the ring with a flip. O’Reilly’s kicks staggered Moxley to the point he struggled to stay on both legs. Both men collided with a lariat to one another. Moxley scratched O’Reilly’s back, digging his nails deep. O’Reilly intercepted Moxley’s juji gatame and secured an Ankle Lock. Moxley gator rolled O’Reilly and flattened him with a Bulldog. O’Reilly wound up Moxley’s arm and sent him into the barricade.<\/p>\n

    Moxley dropped O’Reilly with a Cutter, which was countered into a Triangle Arm Lock. A Penalty Kick to the head rattled Moxley’s noggin. O’Reilly eluded a Curb Stomp and snatched Moxley’s leg for an Ankle Lock. He bit his fist and bought himself enough time for the 20-minute time limit.<\/p>\n

    Post-match:<\/strong> Arkady Aura announced that O’Reilly surviving Moxley granted him a match for the Continental Championship at AEW Double or Nothing.<\/p>\n

    (The stakes were not as high as it would be at AEW Double or Nothing, but it sure felt like it.)<\/p>\n

    RUSH would be ready for the AEW World Champion<\/h2>\n

    Whether Darby Allin came out of the week as still-champion, RUSH would be ready for him. If someone else were to win it, he’d maintain his pursuit nonetheless.<\/p>\n

    Athena & Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart, & Skye Blue) defeated Mina Shirakawa, Thunder Rosa, & Brawling Birds (Jamie Hyater & Alex Windsor)<\/h2>\n

    Rosa and Athena wrestled to a stalemate, but Windsor and Hayter proved more than enough for Blue to handle. Triangle of Madness and Athena obliterated Shirakawa with well-timed knee strikes. Rosa dropkicked Blue and followed with a Northern Lights Suplex. Hayter crunched Thekla with a backbreaker. Athena took charge of the match, hurling her opponents before decking Rosa with a spinning uppercut. Shirakawa sensed Athena, hoping to drive her into the ring post, and usurped dominance with a hurricanrana.\u00a0The Birds pecked Blue down with a kick. Hart sprayed mist into Rosa’s face. Thekla seized that moment to secure the pinfall.<\/p>\n

    (Man, I wish Athena were on AEW more. Her and Billie Starkz.)<\/p>\n

    JetSpeed’s title aspirations<\/h2>\n

    Kevin Knight wished Speedball Mike Bailey well in his AEW World Championship match in the main event.<\/p>\n

    Renee Paquette interviewed Jon Moxley<\/h2>\n

    Asking Moxley how he felt ahead of Kyle O’Reilly’s challenge at AEW Double or Nothing. Moxley finished his pushups and spouted a motivational speech.<\/p>\n

    Darby Allin (c) defeated Speedball Mike Bailey for the AEW World Championship<\/h2>\n

    MJF joined the commentary desk.<\/p>\n

    Bailey noticed Allin had been distracted by MJF’s entrance and blasted him with his knee. He spared him an Ultima Weapon on the apron and kept things going with a moonsault. Outside, he barraged Allin with successive forearms. Allin swept Bailey’s leg amid a knee strike attempt on the barricade. The champion planted his challenger with a Scorpion Deathdrop atop said barricade. Allin smashed Bailey’s foot underneath the steel steps. As Bailey staggered and limped, Allin whooshed in like a bullet from a tope suicida. Allin’s Coffin Drop nearly ended the match, had MJF not moved Bailey’s leg up at the second. Kevin Knight sprinted in to oversee that MJF stayed put.<\/p>\n

    Champion and challenger traded pin attempts, culminating in Allin using another Scorpion Deathdrop. Moments later, he sank into a Scorpion Deathlock. Knight urged Bailey on to save himself via rope break. Allin circled back to the Scorpion Deathlock. Ultimately, despite Knight and MJF’s pleas, Bailey tapped out to Allin’s submission.<\/p>\n

    Post-match:<\/strong> Knight praised Bailey’s hard work in the match and said he was proud of him. Shifting attention to Allin, Knight said nobody in AEW had the same heart as him. MJF slithered back in so he could strike Allin from behind. Bringing out a razor, MJF forewent shaving Darby’s head and aimed to carve his skull with it. Allin stole it and threatened to pre-emptively shave his upcoming challenger.<\/p>\n

    (Bailey showed some heel tendencies with how ruthless and vicious he approached the champion.)<\/p>\n

    Will Ospreay defeated Katsuyori Shibata<\/h2>\n

    Each man traded armbars. Shibata offered a handshake, but Ospreay gave him the middle finger and ground his knee to the mat. On the apron and on the outside, Shibata unleashed suplexes. Ospreay booted a rampaging Shibata in the face. The Aerial Assassin achieved Kawada Kicks to his opponent, but Shibata replied with his signature dropkick. A Falcon Arrow and a flying elbow kept Shibata completely flat.<\/p>\n

    Preparing for a Hidden Blade, Ospreay instead almost tripped thanks to Anthony Bowens. Shibata snuck in a Hidden Blade of his own. Marina Shafir and Claudio Castagnoli scared Bowens away. Shibata pulled Ospreay into a juji gatame, but a powerbomb denied this. Ospreay’s Hidden Blade put away The Wrestler for the pinfall.<\/p>\n

    Post-match:<\/strong> Samoa Joe kept Bowens and Shibata at his side as he promised to give Ospreay his “dream match” by putting him to sleep. Ospreay responded that Joe wouldn’t be enough to deter him, as the Death Riders helped kill the old version of him.<\/p>\n

    (Having seen both men’s work in NJPW, it’s interesting to see Ospreay and Shibata confidently in a distinctly AEW style.)<\/p>\n

    Cage and Cope backstage promo<\/h2>\n

    Adam Copeland recanted his past with Christian Cage and said that they didn’t have any quit in them. Cage took his turn to speak by saying something so foul that TBS Network had to censor it.<\/p>\n

    RUSH defeated TJ Crawford<\/h2>\n

    RUSH pummeled Crawford with kicks and pelted him with elbows. He stampeded in with a dropkick to pin his opponent in this squash.<\/p>\n

    (I think we get it now. I think we’re good with all these RUSH squashes. We can take a break from it, I promise.)<\/p>\n

    Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross) (c) versus Kayla Lopez & Elle Valentine in a 5-minute Eliminator for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship<\/h2>\n

    Bayne thrusted her shoulder into Lopez’s midsection in the corner. Lopez fought back with an elbow and suffered more at the hands of the Megasus. Kross swung her around and tossed her to Valentine. The moment Valentine entered, Kross struck her down with a kick. Divine Dominion then pulverized her, with Bayne using a reverse-German suplex. Together, Bayne and Kross destroyed Valentine with a double-chokeslam. Kross pinned Valentine before the 5 minutes were up.<\/p>\n

    (Much love to Divine Dominion, but hopefully they receive some substantial tag team competition. This being right after another squash leaves a sour taste in my mouth.)<\/p>\n

    FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) (c) defeated Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong) for the AEW World Tag Team Championship<\/h2>\n

    Strong battered FTR on the outside after they sought retreat after Conglomeration-led dominance. Cassidy lined up an Orange Punch for Harwood; Wheeler pulled him out for the save. Harwood manhandled Strong for a stretch that the latter’s Backbreaker halted. Cassidy punished Harwood some more with a tope suicida. Wheeler suffocated Cassidy in a ground cobra clutch that reddened the denim-wearing wrestler.<\/p>\n

    Harwood planted Cassidy with a piledriver. FTR cornered Cassidy for another barrage of fists. Thanks to a Strong save, Cassidy crushed Wheeler with a DDT. Stokely Hathaway tried to use a watch to bludgeon Cassidy, who instead used Harwood’s momentum to send his manager out. Strong rescued Cassidy from a Shatter Machine pinfall. Harwood at last managed to swing Cassidy into Hathaway’s watch and pulled him in for the pinfall.<\/p>\n

    (This went longer than needed. Not a bad match, but to main event a go-home show? This felt like a nothingburger, a slot to fill.)<\/p>\n

    Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

    The first hour and the AEW World Championship Match were excellent for a go-home show. But everything else progressively dampened my excitement for AEW Double or Nothing. Granted, there are matches I’m thrilled to see coming up. Plus Mick Foley. Who doesn’t like Mick Foley? Nobody sensible, that’s who.<\/p>\n

    Not the worst AEW programming by a long shot, but this 3+ hour show felt more like a stay-at-home show instead of a go-home show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
