Main Event: Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Lucha Bros & Best Friends in a 3-way

End Show.

Friday on Rampage: Nyla Rose vs. Hikaru Shida, Scorpio Sky vs. Kip Sabian, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett vs. TBA and an 8-team tag team battle royal for an AEW Tag Team Title shot after Collision’s match this Saturday (The Hardys not winning will be an upset as they are in the battle royal).

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Boston, MA:

Updates will begin at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT.

Because of the main event being BLOOD & GUTS and the complex setup requiring 2 rings to be completed ahead of time, the 2 ring setup will be in place for all matches tonight as well as the post-show Rampage taping.

Live results below.

Match 1: FTW Champion Hook vs. Jungle Boy for the title
Before intros Jungle Boy was seemingly buried and he came out wearing a black biker jacket & matching black leather pants, introduced as just Jack Perry. So apparently Jungle Boy is dead and Perry is now a full heel.
Result: Jack Perry beat FTW Champion Hook to become THE NEW FTW CHAMPION! First loss for Hook. Heel tactics by using a title belt shot after a ref bump and slow count to win.

Match 2: Britt Baker vs. TBA. TBA is Kayla Sparks. This was just added during match 1
Result: Britt Baker beat Kayla Sparks by submission. Squash.

Match 3: Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament Finals: MJF & Adam Cole vs. Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara
Result: MJF & Adam Cole beat Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara to win the tournament. MJF pinned Garcia. As a result, MJF & Cole will face AEW Tag Team Champions FTR for the titles on the 7/29 Collision. FTR came out for the staredown to start the build.

BLOOD & GUTS will begin after the current commercial. They will have pretty much the entire second hour so plan on the match going a minimum of 45 minutes.

Friday on Rampage: Royal Rampage for an AEW TNT Title shot at All Out (20 entrants in 2 rings), Kris Statlander vs. Marina Shafir for the TBS Title and QT Marshall, Aaron Solo & Johnny TV vs. The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn.

Saturday on Collision: Acclaimed/Gunn vs. House OF Black for the AEW Trios Title. More TBA on Rampage.

Main Event; BLOOD & GUTS. 2 start for 5 minutes, then a new entrant comes in every 3 minutes. Blackpool Combat Club won a coin flip so they have the advantage until everyone enters. The match officially begins when all 10 men have entered, the only way to win is by submission or surrender.
Order of entry: 1-Claudio Castagnoli. 2-Kenny Omega. 3-Pac. 4-Adam Page. 5-Jon Moxley. 6-Nick Jackson. 7-Wheeler Yuta. 8-Matt Jackson. 9-Konosuke Takeshita. 10-Kota Ibushi
Result: The Elite beat Blackpool Combat Club. Page & one of the Jacksons beat Yuta by surrender (choke out with a chain)

End Show.

Your opinion of this show will largely depend on your opinion of Blood & Guts (I thought it delivered as advertised). For me it made this episode perhaps the best one of the year although they’ll come up with something huge for the New York City return in September. Everything else was good and the opening match will send the Hook-Perry feud nuclear. The tag team match was great comedy. I am very curious about where Hook goes from here now that he’s no longer unbeaten.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Saskatoon, Canada:

Match 1: Chris Jericho vs. Komander
Result: Chris Jericho beat Komander by submission

MJF-Adam Cole bonding activities outside the ring again, including playing the new Fight Forever video game.

Match 2: Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament Semifinals: Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin vs. Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara

Nick Wayne promo.

Match 3: Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament Semifinals: Brian Cage & Big Bill vs. Adam Cole & MJF

Jake Hager talks to Chris Jericho about Callis. He seemingly gives up his purple hat, handing it to Jericho and leaving the locker room.

Match 4: Owen Hart Cup Women’s Semifinals: Ruby Soho vs. Skye Blue
Result: Ruby Soho beat Skye Blue. As a result, Soho advances to the Finals on Saturday. Toni Storm & Saraya were ejected early for interference so it was a clean win.

QTV segment.

Match 5: Swerve Strickland vs. Nick Wayne (Debut)
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Nick Wayne. Wayne may have injured his shoulder right before the end.

Don Callis comes out for the main event segment to reveal the final 2 Blood & Guts participants. About 7 minutes left when this begins. Kenny Omega comes out and it quickly turns into a BCC-Elite brawl then Pac returns from out of nowhere and laid out Omega with a chair. The Elite then reveals their 5th team member is Kota Ibushi.

End Show.

MJF throws a mini-birthday party for Cole in the ring. It ends with MJF getting a face full of cake.

Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara are a Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament pairing.

Match 4: Owen Hart Cup Women’s Quarterfinals: Britt Baker vs. Ruby Soho
Result: Rubo Soho beat Britt Baker. With help from Toni Storm & Saraya. As a result, Soho advances to the Semifinals and will face Skye Blue. Baker will not repeat as tournament champion.

Main Event: Wheeler Yuta vs. Kenny Omega
Result: Kenny Omega beat Wheeler Yuta. BCC beatdown on Omega afterwards but The Elite quickly made the save. Dark Order rushed out to get involved as we ran out of time and cut away (already into overrun.

To me it was a show that happened. MJF-Cole stuff was hilarious though. That’s the stuff to watch/re-watch.

Friday on Rampage: Matt Hardy & Jeff Jarrett vs. Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara (Blind Eliminator Tournament), Brian Cage & Bil Bill vs. Trent Beretta & Matt Sydal (Blind Eliminator Tournament), Hikaru Shida vs. Marina Shafir and Adam Page & The Young Bucks vs. Dark Order.

After the match, BCC beatdown on The Elite and Eddie Kingston culminates in Jon Moxley challenging The Elite to BLOOD & GUTS, which will happen on 7/19 in Boston, MA.

Jungle Boy promo. He turns full heel and states his intent to beat and take the FTW Title from Hook, also taking shots at Taz on commentary (Hook’s real-life father). Hook comes out and Jungle Boy bails as Hook chases him through the crowd and backstage until Jungle Boy dives into a waiting SUV to bail.

Before that last part of the chase, commentary starts to announce that Dynamite Grand Slam will return to Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open in New York later this year. They didn’t get to announce a date yet.

Result: Darby Allin & Sting beat Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara. Sting beat Jericho with Scorpion Deathlock.

The show was fine but the crowd came off HORRIBLE on TV tonight and really weighed the presentation down a lot. Were they really not that hot or was it just how TV presented then?

Friday on Rampage: Matt Hardy & Brother Zay vs. Marshall/TV, Hikaru Shida vs. Taya Valkyrie, Shawn Spears vs. The Blade (THE TOP DRAW!) and ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli vs. Komander for the title.

Saturday on Collision: AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander vs. Lady Frost for the title, 3 Owen Hart Cup Men’s Tournament matches and MJF vs. TBA. Commentary said it’s live but this week’s episode will be TAPED (taping tomorrow).

Next week: Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament begins with Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland vs. Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin and Baker-Soho Take 2.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Chicago, IL:

Gunn Club beat The Hardys. Colten Gunn beat Jeff Hardy after 3:10 to Yuma. Juice Robinson interference set up the upset. CM Punk showed up unannounced after the match. He’ll be at Collision Saturday.

Mark Briscoe beat Jeff Jarrett in a Concession Stand Brawl. A street fight that started at a concession stand setup. Garbage comedy match.

Sammy Guevara, Chris Jericho & Minoru Suzuki beat Action Andretti, Darius Martin & AR Fox. Jericho beat Fox with Liontamer/Walls Of Jericho. Missed the first part of this match with streaming issues.

What was supposed to be a Blind Tag Tournament was changed earlier today to just a draw for the 8-team tournament. Brackets announced next week but we do know the first team…Adam Cole and MJF.

Daniel Garcia & Zack Sabre Jr. beat Orange Cassidy & Katsuyori Shibata. Missed finish due to streaming issues.

AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander beat Taya Valkyrie to retain the title.

In the Main Event segment, Eddie Kingston announced the 5th member of the 10-man tag Sunday with The Young Bucks & Adam Page vs. BCC is Tomohiro Ishii. This led to Bryan Danielson calling out Kazuchika Okada, who came out. After a Wheeler Yuta cheap shot, they set up a Busaiku Knee but Okada dodged and Danielson hit Yuta. Dnaielson bailed and left Yuta to take Rainmaker to end the show.

I had a lot of unusual streaming issues tonight so I missed quite a bit of important spots (I watch via the TBS app because I am on the west coast). From what I did saw, it felt meh for a PPV go home show.

Friday on Rampage (what I caught): Jungle Boy vs. DOUKI, Rocky Romero & Best Friends vs. United Empire & Swerve Strickland, The Acclaimed vs. TBA, Anna Jay.A.S. vs, Skye Blue in the Owen Hart Cup Women’s Tournament, MJF Appears for the first time EVER on Rampage and Adam Cole appears.

Saturday on Collision in Toronto, Canada: CM Punk, FTR and maybe someone else vs. Bullet Club Gold, Swerve Strickland vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Brody King vs. Andrade El Idolo, Nyla Rose vs. Willow Nightingale in the Owen Hart Cup Women’s Tournament, Christian Cage appears and Sting & Darby Allin reveal their Forbidden Door tag team partner for their match vs. Jericho/Guevara/Suzuki.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Washington, DC:

AEW World Champion MJF vs. Adam Cole in a NON-TITLE match (aka Eliminator) went to a 30 minute time limit draw. Cole would’ve gotten a rematch for the title had he won. Perfect heel wrestling by MJF. Must-see.

Sammy Guevara interviewed. He announces when he & Tay Melo have their first baby later this year or early next year it will be a girl. Then he shifts to other priorities, which leads to Darby Allin & Chris Jericho getting involved. This all leads to potentially Guevara & Jericho vs. Allin & Sting next week.

IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA (New Japan) appears in a pre-taped promo in Japanese. Open Challenge for the title at Forbidden Door.

Gunn Club interviewed. They want The Hardys next week.

AEW TNT Champion Wardlow beat Jake Hager to retain the title. Christian Cage & Luchasaurus seen backstage afterwards with a bloody & beaten Arn Anderson. Wardlow-Luchasaurus for the title will happen at Collision Saturday.

Hiroshi Tanahashi (New Japan) pre-taped promo in Japanese. Challenge issued to MJF for Forbidden Door.

AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm beat Skye Blue by submission to retain the title. Ruby Soho seconded Storm. No Saraya. Likely just heel acting by Saraya.

Jungle Boy accepts SANADA’s open challenge.

The Elite (The Young Bucks & Adam Page) beat Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta). Page pinned Yuta after Buckshot Lariat. After the match things got crazy including the return of Eddie Kingston, Konosuke Takeshita getting involved then, Kenny Omega laying out Takeshita and finally Will Ospreay appearing and laying out Omega with Stormbreaker, then adding Hidden Blade as Dynamite went off the air.

Another very good show with excellent Forbidden Door build throughout. MJF-Cole was an A+ match and a definite must-see just for the Masters’ Class on champion heel wrestling by MJF.

Friday on Rampage, presumably at regular time: Will Ospreay vs. TBA. Nothing else announced on TV, perhaps due to time constraints. If there were announcements I missed them.

Added to the Collision premiere Saturday: AEW TNT Champion Wardlow vs. Luchasaurus for the title, Willow Nightingale & Skye Blue vs. Toni Storm & Ruby Soho, Buddy Matthews vs. Andrade El Idolo, Miro vs. TBA.

Confirmed for Forbidden Door: AEW World Champion MJF vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for the title, and IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA vs. Jungle Boy for the title, joining the already-announced Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada and IWGP US Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay for the title.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Colorado Springs, CO:
AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy beat Swerve Strickland to retain the title.

Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta beat Best Friends & Rocky Romero. Moxley beat Romero with a rear naked choke.

MJF promo interrupted by Adam Cole. This seemed to set up Cole as the next challenger for the AEW Woeld Championship.

In a Texas Tornado Match (no tags, no DQs, all 4 legal at all times), Jungle Boy & Hook beat Preston Vance & Dralistico. Jungle Boy beat Dralistico with Snare Trap.

Konosuke Takeshita beat Damon Abe. Squash.

AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander beat Anna Jay.A.S. to retain the title.

Jay White beat Ricky Starks. Juice Robinson & FTR were banned from ringside but Gunn Club interfered after a ref bump at the end.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in San Diego, CA:

Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta beat Lucha Bros & Bandido. Yuta pinned Bandido with a seatbelt hold. Bandido managed to hanging vertical suplex and hold Yuta for ONE FULL MINUTE during the match.

Swerve Strickland beat Trent Beretta & Big Bill in a 3-way by pinning Beretta.

Don Callis has turned Konosuke Takeshita full heel. A noteworthy Kazuchika Okada name drop here.

Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin beat Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona. Allin pinned Kaun after Coffin Drop. Sting returned post-match.

Tony Khan’s next major Collision Announcement was made…See I’m A Punk. Crowd reaction was very loud and, because they were not in Chicago, mostly negative.

AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander beat Nyla Rose to retain the title. Already teasing Taya Valkyrie getting another chance.

Adam Cole & Britt Baker beat Chris Jericho & Saraya. Mixed tag rules meaning only the same sex was legal at all times, no intergender stuff. Cole pinned Jericho after BOOM.

While not as much PPV fallout as I hoped for (only a taped MJF promo again) this was a fine episode. Nothing must-see but nothing must-skip and I was entertained throughout.

Friday on Rampage: All Championship Edition! An AAA Mega Championship 3-way title match (El Hijo Del Vikingo vs. 2 others who I didn’t catch because they sped through announcements), New Japan STRONG Women’s Champion Willow Nightingale vs. Emi Sakura for the title, NJPW WORLD TV Champion Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Action Andretti for the title and ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata vs. Lee Moriarty for the title. Rampage is back at regular time (Fridays at 10 PM ET/PT) going forward with only one more potential NBA/NHL pre-emption this season: That could be in 2 weeks on 6/16 if the NHL Stanley Cup Finals needs a Game 6 (TNT has all Finals games this year).

Next week: AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy vs. Swerve Strickland for the title and Jay White vs. Ricky Starks with Juice Robinson and FTR banned from ringside. Also there are 2 more non-televised house shows this weekend. Toni Storm claimed she will be defending the AEW Women’s Championship at one or both events.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Las Vegas, NV:

AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy beat Kyle Fletcher (New Japan) to retain the title. Afterwards, AEW announced they have signed Aussie Open (Fletcher & Mark Davis).

AEW Trios Champions House Of Black beat AR Fox, Blake Christian & Metalik to retain the titles. Brody King beat Christian with a sleeper hold.

Taya Valkyrie beat Lady Frost.

Adam Cole-Chris Jericho contract signing for Sunday’s Unsanctioned Match. Cole has brought in Sabu as a special enforcer.

Tony Khan announced the Collision premiere on 6/17 will be in Chicago, IL. Not mentioned in any form: CM Punk, who is expected to return to AEW then. Reportedly the hold-up was Ace Steel, who apparently Punk has to have around for creative. We’ll see what happens.

Roderick Strong beat Daniel Garcia.

ROH Tag Team Champions Lucha Bros beat Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta to retain the titles.

It was okay for a PPV go-home. Matches were so-so but promos and video packages were excellent.

Rampage airtime is “check local listings” because it will depend on NHL and NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 4/5 outcomes. As of this post NHL Game 4, with Florida leading Carolina 3-0 in the series, had 15 minutes to go and it was 3-2 Florida. If Carolina wins, Game 5 is Friday at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. NBA Game 5 between Miami & Boston is Thursday and it’s now 3-1 Miami. If Boston wins, Game 6 would be Saturday at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT on TNT with Rampage originally rumored to follow NBA. Spoilers will be posted when available.
