It’s Wednesday (or actually Thursday as I write this)! You know what that means! All Out is this Saturday, and both Dynamite and Collision are tonight! I’m just here for the Dynamite portion, but come on in!
Ricochet says Swerve and the New Level represent everything that’s wrong with the Trios division, because they were thrown together while The Demand were chosen and forged in ordeal.
Elsewhere, Prince Nana says GoA should remember who brought them into this world, but Swerve and the New Level will be the ones who take them out. Kofi and Creed then run down Swerve history with The Demand and how crazy it’s been, but say it’s the past and tonight it’s just about winning. Then they talk about going on to face The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and Swerve’s wild history with all three of them. They ask if Swerve had any friends before they showed up, and in response, Swerve’s music just hits.

Winners and STILL AEW Trios Champions: Swerve Strickland and the New Level
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly come out after the bell. The crowd chants “Fuck ICE”. Hangman offers them a sincere congratulations and says the champs have carried on the legacy of elevating the Trios Championships. He says he’s glad the New Level are here, but he suspects they don’t realize who they’ve gotten involved with. He asks Swerve what he’s doing, and Creed answers that he’s teaming with the greatest team in pro wrestling, and making sure that the Trios Championships are the most prestigious. He says Swerve is a changed man, to which Swerve smirks darkly. Kofi says Swerve has been great since they got there, and King says it’s only been three weeks. Swerve says Hangman is the one who they should be worried about. He says Hangman doesn’t get to decide who he is anymore, and he’s proven time and time again that he’s no better than Swerve. King says Swerve and Hangman have their own thing going on, but he’s excited for six of the best wrestlers to share a ring. Bandido says the titles are coming home.
Backstage, Renee is with Ospreay and Speedball, and also Francesco Akira. Ospreay says Speedball stepped up when he didn’t need to to protect Ospreay’s friends when he wasn’t there. He says he offered Speedball a spon in the United Empire, and he promised an answer tonight. Speedball says he knew at Wembley that Ospreay was the kind of person he wanted to stand next to, and even though his last partnership didn’t end well, this one will be different. Answer is yes.

Renee is backstage with Steven Borden and Darby Allin.

He starts to give Darby a similar speech, but Darby cuts him off and says they should talk later, for now it’s just challenge accepted.
The three teams from the Ladder Match this Saturday hit the ring. Stoke says FTR has nothing to say, they’re just here so they don’t get fined. The bucks say FTR are the Dudley Boyz in this scenario, so it’s fine if they don’t talk. They say both FTR and Cope and Cage have beaten them, but they’re going to go down swinging. Cage says neither of them will become four-time AEW tag team champions, Cope and Cage are going to remain one-time champions. He says he’s already been with FTR’s mothers, so this weekend it’s the Bucks’ mom’s turn. Copeland cuts him off and says it’s disrespectful how they keep arguing about who is going to be the first four-time champs, because Cope and Cage have been in 40 ladder matches and nothing has stopped them. Matt says that would be true if it was 1999, but the last time Copeland jumped off something high he was out for a year. The champs and the Bucks stare each other down, FTR try to jump them but get put down by all four of them, the champs and the Bucks tee off, Bucks get the better of it, go for a Meltzer Driver from the top of a ladder on the floor, security breaks it up, Bucks take out security, C&C go for Stokely, security break it up, C&C beat up security and hit one guard with a Conchairto. The three teams stare each other down.
Renee asks Willow about her effort at All In and how her hand is doing. She says her hand is getting better, and the two of them are now two and two. She says she knows she has to beat Thekla to get that rubber match. She also reminds Thekla that the last time they fought, Willow hadn’t even been a world champion and she still won, so imagine what she can do now that she’s had a taste of it.

He says they don’t have to ask that in 2026, because they live on the same island now. He calls Okada to come out now. Okada comes out and says Ciampa won’t get the Rainmaker tonight, but Ciampa will get what he wants at All Out. But Okada will get what he wants too: The chance to kick Ciampa’s ass and show the world that he’s not on his level. Ciampa says he’s not scared, because the world has never seen the version of the Psycho Killer who will show up on Saturday.

He also says that he wouldn’t be the man he is today if Moxley hadn’t broken him. He says that he now understands that the championship means everything, and he is the now. He says that Moxley is being dumped in the sea with a Great White. Moxley asks if Ospreay feels like the champion in this scenario. Kidd tries for a sneak attack, misses, almost hits Mox, but stops short and runs into a Hidden Blade. Mox almost seems to look on approvingly as Ospreay says “You’re goddamn fucking right I feel like the champion.” Then he bends down and gives Kidd some words.
And it’s now Collision!
