RAMPAGE -- November 1
LFI (Rush, Dralistico & The Beast Mortos) vs. The Butcher, JD Drake & BEEF
"The crowd is into Beef so just push him already."
Taya Valkyrie (w/ Deonna Purrazzo) defeated Zoey Lynn
Queen Aminata defeated Leila Grey
"Grey went for a butterfly suplex, but Aminata transitioned into an Air Raid Crash for a near fall. Aminata tied up Grey’s arms from behind with her legs, then transitioned out of that into a Dragon Sleeper and a body scissors at the same time. Aminata hit a second snap suplex, and Grey looked seriously winded. But Grey got out of the way of an attack on the corner and hit a bulldog for a near fall. Grey hit a blockbuster out of the corner for a near fall. Grey laid in some forearm shots, but Aminata cut her off with an axehandle. Aminata then tied up Grey with something that looked like it was out of Zach Sabre’s playbook, and Grey tapped out. I thought this was pretty clunky at first, but actually they held it together really well considering how the match started."
Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) & Action Andretti vs. Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver)
Komander (w/ Alex Abrahantes) defeated Lio Rush
COLLISION -- November 2
Private Party Title Celebration
Collision began with a collection of wrestlers in the ring and on the stage. Tony Schiavone welcomed out the new AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party. They thanked the Young Bucks for pushing them to be their absolute best before letting the assorted tag teams around ringside know they were willing to defend their titles against anybody. They got in FTR’s faces and a little shoving commenced, but The Outrunners broke it up and reminded everyone that this was a celebration. They started an AEW chant before Kassidy closed things out.
Day Of The Dead Match – Thunder Rosa defeated Harley Cameron
"This was a no-disqualification match, with Day of the Dead-themed weapons around ringside. Both came out with face paint, Cameron’s more resembling a day at the fair than Dia De Los Muertos. Rosa came out with a picture of Cameron that she sat in a Dia De Los Muertos tribute at ringside. She also had skeleton paint on her body, giving me an excuse to bring up La Parka. Rosa hit Cameron with some plunder around ringside before Cameron cut off a barricade walk. Rosa came right back by throwing Cameron through a big board with a sugar skull skeleton on it.
The two traded clotheslines as we came back from a commercial before they took each other down with hairmares. Rosa hit a lungblower for a nearfall before setting up a chair contraption. She took too long, allowing Cameron to hit her with a SHOOT PINATA before putting her through the contraption for a nearfall. I think there were M&M’s or Skittles in there. God forbid they were Reese’s Pieces. Cameron went for a shining wizard to a seated Rosa, but Rosa moved, and Cameron kicked the chair. Rosa stuffed Cameron in a trash can and kicked her into the corner. Rosa then set up a table as a ramp before launching with a hesitation dropkick to a binned Cameron for the win."
Kyle Fletcher defeated Komander (w/ Alex Abrahantes)
"The crowd being so against Fletcher made it easy for Komander’s normally impressive moveset to get an even bigger reaction. Fletcher has been great in these big spots on TV, and the turn is giving him great momentum into the eventual Will Ospreay match. The Mark Davis diversion is a great call, as he can be a road block match on the way to Ospreay. Just excellent stuff all around."
Lance Archer & Brian Cage defeated Shaun Smith & Joe Keys
"This was a murder, with Smith getting pinned after a chokebomb. They murdered these poor goons some more after the match, leading to The Undisputed Kingdom running them off. Kyle O’Reilly was in the back looking on. Shane Taylor was also watching as Strong was his opponent later tonight."
Jon Moxley Town Hall, then PAC defeated Action Andretti, then interruption by Orange Cassidy
"The match was an enhancement match for PAC, but the segment was a good bit of build for the World Title match. Wheeler Yuta continues to be the most interesting aspect of this story, as he continues to waver in his allegiance to Moxley."
Lio Rush defeated Ariya Daivari
Roderick Strong (w/ The Kingdom) defeated Shane Taylor (w/ Lee Moriarty & The Infantry)
"A solid TV win for Strong as he tries to get his hands on MJF as well."
AEW Women’s World Championship Match – Mariah May (c) defeated Anna Jay to retain
"This was what you would expect it to be. The crowd got into Jay well enough, and the Queenslayer nearfall did get interesting after a point. A solid TV defense for May."
