What do you know? IIIIIT’SSS Wednesday — again!

Omaha, Nebraska’s got a foot of snow on the ground. Glad I’m not there right now! Might that snow might melt quick with all the action heating up tonight!

Cope gets his rematch shot at Jon Moxley’s AEW Men’s World Championship. The AEW International Champion Kenny Omega will have an opponent set for Dynasty on April 6 in Philadelphia with the conclusion of a Four-Way match tonight. Kris Statlander and Megan Bayne go head-to-head after weeks of hostilities and “Timeless” Toni Storm will be on commentary. And Mercedes Mone’s TBS Championship is defended against Billie Starkz.

All that and much more!


1. Orange Cassidy vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey vs. Mark Davis vs. Ricochet

Don Callis joins the broadcast desk for this one.

Bailey tries a high-stack pinfall on Davis, getting two on the count. Davis knocks down Bailey and Cassidy with a single chop each. Ricochet – barely able to breathe – joins commentary for a few seconds (taking Excalibur’s headset). He says he’s picking his spots. Mark Davis has other ideas, throwing him out of the ring as he sneakily tries a cover.

“Speedball” lands a double missile drop kick from the second rope onto Davis. Ricochet hits Davis with a Running Shooting Star Press. OC tries the cover, only getting one. He says it was two. But two’s still not enough, bud. A kicking battle ensues.

During the commercial break (thanks, picture-in-picture), Bailey and Cassidy try to powerbomb Davis together. He turns it around on them. Cassidy then is able to powerbomb Davis himself.

Cassidy hits Ricochet with Stundog Millionaire but his ailing bicep prevents him from capitalizing. Bailey takes advantage. He hits a short Falcon Arrow and follows up with a Shooting Star Press. Davis pulls him before he can get three on the count. Ricochet also hits a Shooting Star Press on OC and also gets only two.

A Death Valley Driver only gets Ricochet a two-count on Bailey. Davis gets hit with an Orange Punch and Davis kicks out at 2.99. Bailey breaks up a close pinfall after Davis hits OC with a piledriver.

Bailey pins Davis, but Ricochet steals the pin. Both got it and referee Bryce Remsburg asks the officials for clarification.

Winner(s): “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Ricochet. It will be a three-way match at Dynasty.

Good thing there’s a commercial. I need to catch my breath after that one.


A video airs for The Hurt Syndicate.

2. “CEO” Mercedes Mone (c) vs. Billie Starkz for the TBS Championship

As she enters, a quick career highlight video plays for the 20-year-old Starkz.

Billie Starkz goes for a handshake as the bell rings but Mone wants nothing to do with that, showing aggression and disrespect right from the jump. She lands the double knees and is unsuccessful on the cover. The crowd seems to be split in their support.

Starkz goes for a pin after landing a few kicks, getting two. Mone rolls out but Starkz hits a tope suicida through the second rope. Starkz hits a Senton from the top, forcing Mone to kick out again.

Mone continues her aggressive offense, getting some time to do the Mone dance. Where’s Muppe? Mone said Starkz doesn’t belong in the ring with her. She’s learning she was wrong.

Mone seems to go for the Three Amigos but Starkz counters and shocks the champ. Starkz hits a huge John Wu dropkick and follows up with a massive drop onto the top turnbuckle. Starkz gets dropped and the pinfall is stopped as she gets her foot on the ropes after a nasty fall.

Starkz tries a Senton but misses. Mone makes her tap.

Winner: and still TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone.

She held onto the submission long after the conclusion. Frustration clearly felt by the champ despite the win.


The Outrunners cut a video for the Omaha Mavericks. This is followed by a promo package for ALL IN in July.

MJF is backstage, holding the card handed to him by MVP. He puts himself over as the most complete wrestler, more than the other contenders for Moxley’s title right now. He says he got burned pretty quick last time he had a partner. He says he’ll have an answer for MVP next week.

3. Jon Moxley (c) vs. Cope in a Street Fight for the AEW Men’s World Championship

Moxley’s music plays and he’s outside. Cope attacks him from behind and the two get in a truck. They seem content fighting outside in the cold for a bit before heading inside with referee Paul Turner conveniently there.

They get to the ring and Cope takes control, using a garbage can and a suplex. Moxley takes control with a rear chokehold. Know your opponent’s weakness. He introduces a kendo stick to Cope’s back and then his throat.

Cope pushes Moxley back and they end up in the crowd again as Moxley seems to be running away with his tail between his legs. But he’s as tough as they come, going shot-for-shot fir his challenger.

They end up on the announce desk. Moxley hits a double-underhook drop on the desk that has negative give, dusting off his hands after.

During a commercial break, Cope is the first to bring out a table. It would feel wrong if Moxley did this first. He gets a chair, tenderizing Cope’s back and spine. He sets up Cope’s head in the chair before going to the top rope. Cope luckily gets up and tosses the chair at Moxley, stunning him. Cope claws the back, the champion’s own move. He follows up with a superplex. Prince Nana watches backstage by himself after Swerve Strickland was attacked by Moxley Saturday at Collision.

Cope brings out Spike from under the ring. He gets caught with a cutter before he’s able to use it. Moxley brings out a second table, getting it into the ring. Moxley sets the table up diagonally in the corner of the ring. Cope nails Moxley with Spike in the mid-section, then his back. Then he gets dropped onto Spike and it sticks to him.

Wheeler Yuta comes out of nowhere and hits a Busaiko knee on Cope before unsuccessfully trying to pull Spike out of Moxley’s back.

Cope drops Yuta onto the first table. Claudio Castagnoli and PAC come back. They set up for a conchairto. FTR rush out to stop them!

Dax Harwood hits Moxley with a Piledriver. He spears Moxley through the table in the corner of the ring. The crowd chants “A-E-DUB!”

Cope goes for the cover but Marina Shafir runs out. Willow neutralizes her, hitting a cannonball outside the ring.

Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne get involved because of course they do… Cope kicks out at two. Moxley immediately goes to the bulldog and Cope goes out.

Winner: and still AEW Men’s World Champion, Jon Moxley.

Prince Nana makes a call, shaking his head and still watching backstage. Willow Nightingale and FTR are still in the ring with Cope. Cope holds his arm out for Harwood to help him out. He walks away, even pushing Cash Wheeler away before walking backstage. The crowd applauds Cope and chant his name despite the loss.


There’s a quick recap of Jericho and the Learning Tree’s feud with Gravity and Bandido. Renee Paquette is backstage with Bandido. He demands a match Sunday on Collision. Johnny TV interrupts, demanding Bandido face him instead. Challenge accepted for Sunday.

4. Will Ospreay vs. AR Fox

The two shake hands before getting underway. This is not their first match, but first in AEW. Ospreay and Fox counter each other’s moves, taking a second.

AR Fox gets dropped outside the ring but the Stundog Millionaire drops Ospreay on his less-than-100% hip.

AR Fox takes advantage, going for a waist lock. The two exchange kick after kick. Ospreay kicks out at 2.99. He connects with a Hidden Blade after Fox misses a 450 Splash.

Winner: Will Ospreay.

The two share respect after the match before Ospreay catches his breath and looks at the All In poster.


Renee Paquette is backstage with “Hangman” Adam Page. He says he will stand by his word to make sure Swerve is never AEW Men’s World Champion again, but that he will be in the Owen Hart tournament.

After commercial, she’s again backstage with “The CEO” Mercedes Mone. Mone says that whoever trained Billie Starkz doesn’t know a thing about wrestling. We might know who Mone will have to deal with next.

5. Megan Bayne vs. Kris Statlander (with AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm on commentary)

Bayne is accompanied by Penelope Ford as she enters the ring.

The two opponents meet in the middle of the ring. Kris Statlander blocks and gets the first offense.

Toni Storm says that Statlander has earned the AEW Women’s World Champion’s respect. She asks if Megan Bayne lives at a Greek restaurant. It doesn’t take long before Penelope Ford gets involved verbally, distracting Statlander. Bayne hits a back suplex off the top rope after a wicked shot stifles her.

Bayne hits a huge running Liger Bomb but Statlander counters with a missile dropkick off the ropes. Both women are down. The two sit corss-legged in the middle of the ring and exchange chops as they stand. Statlander hits an Enzuigiri. Ford gets involved and then tosses out.

Statlander hits a powerbomb and gets two on the pinfall. Storm is nervous as she puts over the power of her competition.

The two exchange suplexes and Bayne gets the upper hand with a lariat. She hits a tope suicida. Bayne hits a Falcon Arrow but only gets two on the cover.

Statlander hits a DDT followed by a cannonball on the outside. Bayne throws Statlander into Storm near the desk.

Fate’s Descent on the outside. She tells Storm to watch, hitting another Fate’s Descent in the ring.
