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.

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

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.
AEW runs their second quarterly PPV of the year, Double Or Nothing today, back in Las Vegas for the casino-themed event. The build on TV hasn’t been the most impressive and the card seems rather underwhelming, even for the main event featuring the so-called Four Pillars of AEW (not including the “female pillar” Britt Baker) in a 4-way match for MJF’s AEW World Championship with the leading angle being a potential laying-down original plan when MJF tried to pay off original challenger Sammy Guevara, then it soon became a 4-way with Darby Allin & Jungle Boy added. Elsewhere, every AEW title is on the line with maybe the biggest question being will Taya Valkyrie end Jade Cargill’s unbeaten streak in a straight-up match? Also featured is Anarchy In The Arena as The Elite & Blackpool Combat Club will fight all over the venue, Chris Jericho vs. Adam Cole in an Unsanctioned Match and much more.
Today’s event will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV and can be watched LIVE in the US on PPV via cable/satellite providers, Bleacher Report, at select participating movie theaters and Dave & Buster’s restaurants. Elsewhere it will be available on YouTube in Canada and select countries and FITE elsewhere. There will be a FREE 1 hour pre-show on YouTube. Presumably the post-event press conference will stream free on YouTube after the event, which including the pre-show should run 4-5 hours.
Today’s current lineup: Pre-show: The Hardys & Hook vs. Gunn Club & Ethan Page
PPV: AEW Trios Champions House Of Black vs. TBA (possibly The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn) for the titles Adam Cole vs. Chris Jericho in an Unsanctioned Match (doesn’t count towards records, title shots, etc.). Sabu will second Cole AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill vs. Taya Valkyrie for the title AEW Tag Team Champions FTR vs. Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal for the titles AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy vs. 20 others in a Blackjack Battle Royal for the title AEW TNT Champion Wardlow vs. Christian Cage in a Ladder Match for the title AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter vs. Toni Storm for the title The Elite vs. Blackpool Combat Club in Anarchy In The Arena AEW World Champion MJF vs. Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy & Darby Allin in a 4-way for the title

UPDATE: During the media scrum, Tony Khan confirmed the mixed tag match for Dynamite this week. And when asked if a See I’m A Punk may be in Chicago for the Collision premiere, Khan sidestepped the question. The guest lineup was MJF right at the start (impromptu and being MJF), Kris Statlander, Orange Cassidy, Toni Storm & Bryan Danielson (very much not in character). When asked about All In in England, Khan said the latest estimate on ticket sales so far is 65,000 with a UK record $9 million live gate.
Click below for the quick results for this week’s TAPED AEW Rampage from Las Vegas, which will now air at REGULAR TIME-Friday at 10 PM ET/PT on TNT (SPOILERS!):
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.
The first huge AEW announcement of the week has dropped: The long-awaited “Fight Forever” videogame release date is now official beyond just this year…June 29. The press release from THQ Nordic featured a YouTube clip and comments from Kenny Omega, who worked on the game.
It will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X, Switch and PC. Pre-orders are now available.
Below are the quick results for tomorrow’s TAPED AEW Rampage, which airs at a special earlier time of 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT due to NBA Playoffs coverage on TNT (SPOILERS!):
Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Houston, TX:
Just after the start of the second hour, commentary announced to the TV viewers breaking news-Superstar Billy Graham, a wrestling & WWF/E Hall Of Famer, has died at 79. He was dealing with multiple serious medical issues.
Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin beat Lee Moriarty & Big Bill. Allin pinned Moriarty.
The Young Bucks arrive as Blackpool Combat Club sneak attack them.
Sammy Guevara beat Exodus Prime. Squash.
Jeff Jarrett & crew call out FTR, leading to a beatdown and the AEW debut of Karen Jarrett, who low blows Cash Wheeler.
Euby Soho & Toni Storm beat Britt Baker & Hikaru Shida. Storm pinned Baker after Storm Zero. This was to have been Jamie Hayter, Baker & Shida vs. Saraya, Soho & Storm but Hayter was not medically cleared.
Tony Khan makes a follow-up announcement from today’s Collision announcement by TNT, which is the dates for the 2nd-7th episodes. Most in Canada with the 7/1 episode being TAPED (taping on 6/29) except for the 7th in Newark, NJ. Not announced: The location for the premiere, widely expected to be in Chicago. That will come next week. May have something to do with CM Punk.
In a Falls Count Anywhere match where Adam Cole and JAS were banned from the building, Roderick Strong beat Chris Jericho. It went outside the building at the end, meaning Cole could get involved and did.
Jungle Boy beat Rush.
Jay White beat Ricky Starks by DQ. Chair use. This was the main event.
Don Callis interview was interrupted almost immediately by Kenny Omega. BCC and The Elite came out for a big brawl and Adam Page joined in, siding with The Elite. He challenged BCC to Anarchy In The Arena at Double Or Nothing.
A good show overall but one’s view will ultimately be skewed by their expectations for the Khan follow-up announcement, namely no Punk.
Friday on Rampage at 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT: BCC vs. Best Friends & Bandido, The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn vs. CVarsity Athletes, Bishop Kaun vs. Dustin Rhodes, perhaps a Jade Cargill open challenge and The Hardys promo. Early air time is due to NBA Playoffs on TNT. Next week’s Rampage is likely to be pre-empted because of NHL Playoffs IF the Eastern Conference Finals is not a 4 game sweep (next Friday on TNT would be a Game 5 if needed).
Next week: ROH Tag Team Champions Lucha Bros vs. Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta for the titles. This is the followup from the Double Jeopardy match last week.
Confirmed for Double Or Nothing: AEW TNT Champion Wardlow vs. Christian Cage in a Ladder Match for the title, AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter vs. Toni Storm for the title, a 21 Man Blackjack Battle Royal for the AEW International Championship (Orange Cassidy vs. 20 others) and more.
