It's a homecoming for Chris Jericho (he's from Winnipeg you idiot) as the JAS vies for the Trios titles against both the current and former champs. The ex-WWE women heels get a new name, and so does Orange Cassidy's title, while Jade Cargill searches for one who can break her streak.

"Canadian Open Challenge" for TBS Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. TBD

The Dark Order (Hangman Page , Stu Grayson & Evil Uno) vs. Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta & Jon Moxley)

"Quality TV" with QT Marshall

The AEW All-Atlantic Championship gets renamed the AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett

AEW World Trios Championship Match: The House Of Black (c) (Malakai Black, Brody King, & Buddy Matthews) vs.The Elite (Kenny Omega & the Young Bucks) vs. Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, & Daniel Garcia)

The announcement for Forbidden Door 2023 just hit Twitter today, so hopefully some names will crop up tonight on who's competing.

That opening "Four Pillars" segment was pretty good, it saved time and show energy by getting them all out together and also provided a snapshot of their alignments. Interestingly it seems to me that Darby is the babyface while Jungle Boy feels somewhat like a tweener.

WOMBO COMBO Hell yeah, it's been so long. It's a shame they brought back Stu Grayson just so he can get choked out in front of his countrymen.

I guess the logical next step is Dark Order v Blackpool in some kind of street fight, with or without Hangman.

If you had given me 100 guesses what the "QTV" segment would look like, I never would have guessed "Just like TMZ, except they recorded themselves doing actual crime".

What a great and silly story that Orange Cassidy match was.

As a sidenote, every time a competitor gets closer to hitting Aubrey Edwards, I get more eager for the day when she loses her cool and knocks someone's head off.

"Sammy Guevara's Whataburger Promo" wasn't on any of my bingo cards

This was one of the best "routine" Dynamites in a long time. Great balance between plot development and action.

They really need to pull the trigger on Jade Cargill, though. Make her the true Final Boss of the women's division and find or make a worthy challenger.

If you are not a follower of lucha libre and are wondering about why people are so excited about next week's match of Kenny Omega/El Hijo Dl Vikingo, here is a match he had last year.
