AEW September to Remember
Live from the Canada Life Place in London, Ontario, Canada! A big crowd tonight as Tony Schiavone is waiting in the ring for both Hangman Page and Kyle Fletcher. No physicality tonight, by the way, as both men make their way to the ring, as well as Don Callis. Callis interrupts Tony to tell Hangman he remembers when Page took the belt from him years ago, and now he’s found someone who’s biggest, faster, and better than both he, and Kenny Omega… and that’s Kyle Fletcher, the “Protostar.” Page reminds Fletcher that there is no outside interference on Saturday, and he sees the potential in Fletcher, and what he could be. Fletcher says AEW no longer needs the Hangmans, the Omegas, it just needs the “Protostar.” The entire company now belongs to Fletcher, who has just finished signing the contract. Page knows what it’s like to be in Fletcher’s shoes, but he doesn’t know what the morning after all out is going to feel. It will not be enough, and it will crush him. Page knows Fletcher will give it his all, but right now, it will not be enough. What Fletcher does with that feeling… is what defines him. In the days and the years that follow… do not disappoint him.
Fletcher says he’s a man of his word, but tonight, he’s going to leave him beaten, bloody, and not able to walk out on his own two feet. Until that moment comes… say his full name. (I don’t think that’s going to catch on).
Excalibur, Taz, and Bryan Danielson are on commentary and here comes the former champion!
Match #1. Roderick Strong w/ Kyle O’Reilly vs. Jon Moxley w/ Marina Shafir & Daniel Garcia
Roddy starts off with a spicy dropkick that takes out Garcia, and lays into Moxley on the outside with some heavy chops.

Roddy comes back with a dropkick that sends Moxley to the outside, as Marina Shafir gets in his face. THAT’S THE MAN’S WIFE! Daniel Garcia bows up and here comes Kyle.

Roddy tries what looks like a super mat return but it kind of just looked like a big bulldog by Moxley? Two counts all around. Moxley rolls High knee by Roddy! Roddy hits the ropes but Wheeler Yuta shows up out of nowhere and trips him up, right into a Paradigm Shift. Moxley locks in the bulldog and Roddy taps.
Winner: Jon Moxley
Rating: ***1/2. Good opening match here, but I have to admit, I was expecting more from these two. Two of the better wrestlers in AEW right now and I wish it got a little more time. Strong put up a good fight but not as much as I would have liked.
A video package of the feud between Mark Briscoe and MJF is shown.
MJF runs into Tony Khan’s office. MJF wants out of the TNT match. Khan says MJF violated all of the rules of AEW as of late, and there’s no way he’s getting out of it. MJF says he’s happy that Tony Khan woke up and decided to be a boss today, but there’s going to be another Briscoe in the ground because of him.
Match #2. Toa Leona w/ Ricochet & Bishop Kaun vs. Bobby Lashley w/ Shelton Benjamin & MVP
MEAT VS. MEAT, BABY. Toa gets the upper hand early, cornering Lashley and putting the boots to him in the corner. Both guys fight to the apron where Toa drops Lashley with a headbutt and follows up with a HUGE Samoan drop! Toa mounts Lashley in the corner and looks for ten punches, but Lashley counters with an electric chair drop! Both guys trade elbows, shoulder blocks, and clotheslines but nobody is budging. Fans are eating this up, by the way. Overhead belly-to-belly by Lashley! Toa staggers to his feet and rests in the corner. Running shoulder block by Lashley and a Complete Shot. Lashley wants the spear but Ricochet pulls Toa to the outside! Lashley gets a head of steam and runs THROUGH Toa on the outside!

Winner: Bobby Lashley
Rating: ***1/2. This was completely different than the opener, but every bit as awesome. The fans LOVED the Hurt Syndicate here and both big men worked their asses off. This was great stuff.
Chaos ensues! MVP breaks the cane over Ricochet and Benjamin dumps Kaun!
Tony Schiavone welcomes Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, FTR, Stokely Hathaway, and a slew of security. No physicality tonight, heavy fines will be leveed. Stokely grabs the mic and lets us know that if Christian or Copeland touch FTR, they won’t be competing on Saturday, and they’ll be disappointing their whole family. FTR get to talk first.
Dax says C&C fought two mediocre teams that carried them to relevancy. FTR have cemented themselves as the generational tag team. Big Bill & Enzo, Gable & Jordan, Gargano & Jordan, Bullet Club Gold, The OutRunners, The Briscoes… FTR are one of one. For C&C… it’s a dream match. They need this to be a dream match. This is the life they’re deal
Stokely knows all about disappointment, that’s why he gets no hoes. Beth will slap the lips off of Dax’s head, by the way. FTR lived with C&C, but they turned their back on him. The reason why FTR weren’t in the spotlight, is because THEY (the fans) didn’t want them in the spotlight, that’s why. FTR may be the GOATS, or one of… but C&C have been there for 25 years. When FTR got bass in their voice, C&C were already revolutionizing tag team wrestling. This Saturday, in their hometown, in front of their fans, you will understand why Cope & Cage, ahem, Cage & Cope, are better than FTR. Cage says Stokely may actually get some hoes with the $500,000 fine. But, $100,000, or $500,000, it doesn’t mean a thing to Cage because… he’s rich. Cage cracks Dax with the mic and Copeland brawls with Cash! All four men brawl until security breaks it up, but Dax’s nose has exploded at that microphone shot!
Renee is with the Young Bucks. Now that the Bucks won that $500,000 last week, it’s rags to riches, baby. Redemption Tour 2K25. Nick apologizes for being mean to Renee the last few years and he throws her $10,000!
Match #3. AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator: Young Bucks vs. Bang Bang Gang
Neckbreaker/backbreaker combo by the Bucks to Austin and a spicy dropkick to Juice. Austin tries to make a tag but Matt pulls Juice off the apron. Rising knee in the corner and an assisted Sliced Bread. Two count. Nick tires to bribe the referee as Austin rolls him up from behind. Matt gets the tag and charges Austin but Austin counters with a tilt-a-whirl slam. Tag to Juice! Shoulder blocks and atomic drops by Juice. Russian leg sweep and a senton to Nick. Right hands to Matt before the Left Hand of God drops him. Tag back to Austin and an assisted cannonball to Nick in the corner. Nick with an outside-in facebuster to Juice and a moonsault off the apron to Austin, but Austin counters with a Fameasser. PK by Nick off the apron to Juice. Tornillo by Nick takes out both members of the Bang Bang Gang. Sunset flip German suplex to Juice. Double basement superkick to Juice gets two. The Bucks miss a BTE Trigger and Juice comes back with a left handed lariat. Austin breaks up a Meltzer Driver with a leaping Flatliner! Bladerunner by Juice to Matt! Juice sets Matt up on the top rope and hurricanranas him off. Two count. Juice clotheslines Nick over the top and to the apron, but Nick lands on his feet, and Matt is right there… Meltzer Driver!
Winners: Young Bucks
Rating: ***1/4. The night of consistent wrestling continues, and the Young Bucks have advanced to the ladder match at All Out.
Match #4. Mascara Dorada vs. The Beast Mortos
Shoulder block by Mortos and a back elbow, but Dorada pops up. Dorada back flips off Mortos before an imploding tieres. Dorada runs from the post, to the turnbuckle, to a diving arm drag. Mortos comes back with a big pounce and a twisting tope suicida. Commercial. Dorada goes up and over and arm drags Mortos back in the ring. Deja vu around the world tieres by Dorada, as both guys go to the apron. Boot by Dorada. Mortos picks Dorada up in a powerbomb but Dorada counters with an apron destroyer! Tornillo by Dorada! Mortos rolls himself in and Dorada comes off the top, landing on his feet. Argentine backbreaker by Mortos! Destoyer by Dorada! Dorada tries to go over the back but Mortos counters into a Ganso Bomb-like maneuver! Two count. Doarda counters a Samoan drop into a crucifix bomb. Little bit of a botch here as Dorada tries a springboard double jump destroyers and Mortos rolls him up for two. Both guys up top and Dorada delivers two of the weirdest punches I’ve ever seen before an imploding Cazedora bomb. Tila a whirl backstabber by Dorada. Dorada comes off the top with a Shooting Star Press for the win.
Winner: Mascara Dorada
Rating: ***. Listen, I’m sure there are going to be a lot of people who liked this a whole heck of a lot more than I have. That said, lots of holy S spots here, some of them for the sake of the crowd reaction. Not a whole heck of a lot of pin falls or selling in this one, but if this is what you like… then you liked this one.
Toni Storm is here! Storm tells us that she’s slayed dragons and beasts since she won her baby back seven months ago. AEW is where the best wrestle, and if you’re not willing to risk it all, than you ain’t shit. If this is the end of Storm’s reign, it’s been the honor of her life. Hayter pops her head in, and says she’s not a fan of the spotlight, but it won’t look good without that title. Hayter wants Storm to remember three things. 1. Hayter doesn’t forget. 2. Storm invited her into the match. 3. Hayter hits hard. Kris Statlander squeezes her way in and reminds us that she hasn’t wrestled for the title in four years. The other two women don’t have the ovaries and you can’t stop Stat. Trim your bushes, beeeeches because it’s going to be…
Here’s Thekla!
Match #5. No Holds Barred: Thekla vs. Queen Aminata
Aminata brings our an empty trash can and throws it at Thekla, and here we go. Thekla gets thrown into the guard rail and Aminata looks for some plunder under the ring. Tekla launches a kendo stick but Excalibur catches it! Thekla dives off the LED board with a trash can lid as we head to commercial. Chairs in the ring and Thekla sets up the garbage can on top of them. Aminata counters a DDT, sets Thekla on the top rope, and blasts her in the face with the trash can. Tower of London by Aminata on the trash can! Brutal landing! Two count. Thekla uses a chair to the back of Aminata and a spear to the small of the back of the chair! Brutal! Two count. Thekla with some slaps but Aminata returns with a huge right hand. Thekla charges but EATS a headbutt! One, two, no! Aminata goes up top but Thekla catches her with a trash can lid to the face. Amianta headbutts her and Thekla hangs upside down, but Thekla blasts her with the trash can lid again. Spider superplex by Thekla! Thekla tries the spear but Aminata blasts her in the face with a chair. Fisherman’s buster on a chair by Aminata! Thekla kicks out at two. Aminata sets a chair up on Thekla and misses a leg drop. Thekla with a stomp on the chair! One, two, three! Thekla looks like she kept her down there on the three count and Aminata wanted to kicked out.
Winner: Thekla
Rating: ***1/4. Lots of plunder here, lots of dislike, it sure seems like. Thekla had a rough introduction, but has really come into her own.
TONI! You can stop looking because your end is right here! Storm hits the ring and double legs Thekla, grounding and pounding her. Jamie Hayter is on the apron, but Statlander pulls her off and both women fight on the outside. The Triangle of Madness is here as well, jumping Storm in the ring. Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir are here and Statlander shoos them away. Storm fights the TOM off and does, chasing them away with a chair. Hayter waits behind Storm but decides not to hit her, as both women are separated by referees.
Alicia Atout is with Top Flight and SCU. Tonight is Top Flight’s biggest test. Oh, here’s Hangman Page. Hangman says he can’t trust the Don Callis Family so Sky Flight should be on the lookout for the rest of the family.
Match #6. AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator: JetSpeed vs. The Matriarchy
Dropkicks by Knight to Sabian, who now tags Killswitch. Double team by JetSpeed before low bridging the big dinosaur. Double hip toss and a double gordbuster to Sabian.

Time Adventure by Bailey and this one is over.
Winners: JetSpeed
Rating: **3/4. Crowd was much quieter for this one, and they’ve had a lot to digest. Fine tag team match here, but I don’t feel very invested in The Matriarchy, and it may be over now, anyway?
Big Bill runs down Eddie Kingston, saying he won’t show up on Saturday.
Darby Allin talks with Bryan Danielson. The wrestling business is filled with snakes and poitickers, and he wanted to do something for himself. You can’t fake climbing Mt. Everest. Darby makes Bryan promise that he won’t get involved on Saturday, because he holds himself responsible for what happened to him at WrestleDream. Danielson agrees, but makes Darby promise something that he whispers to him.
Mercedes Mone joins the commentary team.
Match #7. Riho vs. Robyn Renegade
Tieres by Riho and a dropkick to the face. Renegade rolls to the floor and Riho comes off the top with a diving crossbody as we go to break.

Riho elbows her way out of a fireman’s carry and hits a dragon suplex. Crucifix bomb finishes this one.
Winner: Riho
Rating: NR. Elongated enhancement match.
After the bel, Renegade grabs a hold of a leg, allowing Mone to hit the backstabber and CEO dance over Riho.
Daniel Garcia and The Death Riders call out Samoa Joe and The Opps. The Opps hear you loud and clear, and they accept. Garcia vs. Shibata 3 has been added to the Saturday Tailgate Brawl.

Winners: Don Callis Family
Rating: **3/4. Top Flight, I feel like, can’t buy a win. Not sure the direction of SkyFlight, either, but Don Callis Family isn’t losing much. Hechicero is so cool.
After the match, a brawl breaks out as Scorpio Sky, JetSpeed, Young Bucks, and everyone hits the ring. BRODIDO IS HERE. Brody King is wearing a Missing Link shirt, by the way (go listen to New York Minute on Spotify). Lance Archer blasts Daniels with a big boot and he’s about to get chokeslammed, but here comes Hangman. Rolling elbow to Archer and a clothesline over the top.

Fletcher tries to brainbuster Page on the apron but Page counters and clotheslines him back into the ring. Page wants the Buckshot but Fletcher blasts him with the title belt. Rocky sets up a table at ringside… BRAINBUSTER OFF THE APRON TO HANGMAN!
Final Thoughts: Nothing if not a consistent, three-hour, pro wrestling show. The show started hot, ended hot, and focused on multiple touch points leading in to All Out. Some good fire out of the Hangman Page and Kyle Fletcher physicality, the tag team match is set, as is the ladder match. The show, aside from strong wrestling, felt cohesive and with purpose. 8.25/10Â
