DYNASTY 2025 International Championship Eliminator
Tournament Match!
Ricochet vs. The Opps’ Katsuyori Shibata!
Ricochet chopped at Shibata, but Shibata didn’t budge.
Shibata served up a strike of his own and wiped out Ricochet
with a PK. Ricochet rocked Shibata with a springboard
forearm. Ricochet sat on the mat, mocking Shibata. Shibata
positioned himself in front of the very vocal Ricochet.
Ricochet smacked Shibata with open palm strikes. Shibata
locked on the claw and then booted Ricochet in the head.
Shibata slapped the top of Ricochet’s head.
“You never slap a bald man on the head! It’s like punching a
man with glasses,” said Nigel.

came back with a German suplex. Shibata blocked a kick and
applied an STF. Ricochet managed to reach the ropes to force
the ref to break the hold.
Ricochet connected with a lionsault and then a standing
shooting star press for a near fall. Shibata flattened
Ricochet with a back breaker. Ricochet put his foot on the
rope and pinned Shibata out of nowhere, stealing the
victory!
“The official didn’t see it and he can’t call what he can’t
see,” said Nigel.
Backstage, the Murder Machines tried to fire up Mark Davis
ahead of his match by assaulting some local wrestlers!
AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm was in her
dressing room!
Toni: “I am ready for some Collision and there is no one I’d
like to collide with more than Megan Bayne. You want to swim
around like some hammerhead terrorizing the guppies of AEW.
I have no problem making shark soup!”
Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Griff Garrison (with the Frat House)!
Griff tried to take down Hobbs with lariats. Hobbs nailed
Griff with a clothesline of his own. Hobbs hurled Preston
Vance and Jacked Jameson out of the ring. Hobbs spiked Griff
with a spinebuster and then pinned him.
“Hobbs is now on a six match winning streak,” said Tony
Schiavone.
The Frat House surrounded the ring, but the Outrunners
sprinted to the ring, helping Hobbs clean the ring of
Preston, Griff, and Jameson!
Lexy Nair was backstage with Thunder Rosa!
Thunder Rosa: “You know what this business is built on? It’s
built on respect. Some people feel they’re too good and
tonight I’m going to teach Megan Bayne a lesson of respect!”
Megan Bayne blindsided Thunder Rosa and left her in a heap,
crumbled on the floor!
DYNASTY 2025 International Championship Eliminator
Tournament Match!
Mark Briscoe vs. The Don Callis Family’s Mark Davis!
Mark Davis sent Briscoe into orbit with a big back body
drop. Davis pancaked Briscoe with a standing senton. Briscoe
crashed onto Davis with a tope con hiro. Briscoe propped a
chair on the apron and used it as a catapult, knocking Davis
down on the arena floor.

Briscoe, despite being staggered. Davis threw Briscoe with a
release German suplex. Briscoe nailed Davis with a running
blockbuster from the apron of the ring. Briscoe dropped an
elbow from the barricade.
Briscoe hit Davis with a fisherman’s suplex for near fall.
Davis blocked a Jay Driller and then countered with a short
snap piledriver. Davis covered Briscoe but Briscoe kicked
out at the two-count.
The fans chanted “A-E-W! A-E-W! A-E-W!”
Briscoe planted Davis with a Death Valley Driver. Briscoe
climbed to the top rope, but the Murder Machines came down
to the ring. They distracted the ref long enough to knock
Briscoe off the turnbuckle. Davis hit the Coriolis force and
pinned Briscoe!
Four on Two Match!
The Murder Machines—Lance Archer & Brian Cage
vs. Four Opponents!
The Murder Machines quickly dismantled their opponents,
decimating them in less than two minutes!
“This is an absolute mugging!” said Schiavone.
Mark Briscoe came to the ring with a steel chair, but he was
outnumbered by the Murder Machines. Powerhouse Hobbs came
out to Briscoe’s aid. Cage and Briscoe battled it out while
Hobbs and Archer brawled!
Up next: Swerve Strickland!
Swerve: “Last Sunday I did exactly what I said I was going
to do and that is beat Ricochet to become the number one
contender for the AEW World championship. I warned him but
if he wants to challenge me again, I’ll gladly accept it and
knock him down.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t bring Nana out here with me. He’s at
home safeguarding the Embassy robe. To win the AEW
Championship you have to be elite. Last year at Dynasty I
became AEW World Champion. 126 days I was all elite. And it
seems history repeats itself as I’ll be standing against the
AEW World Champion in three weeks, and I will have a chance
to lead the dynasty once again.
“With that being said, next week on Dynasty it’ll be Cope
facing Mox in street fight. I learned from Cope. He took me
under his wing when I was younger. Whether you are
challenger or champion, you’re in my way. Right now you’re a
legend and an icon but I will mow you down.
“We have Jon Moxley, a four time AEW World champion. You
don’t become that without being an all elite performer. I
used to think we were cut from the same cloth. But I don’t
think I believe anything you’re saying. You’re talking in
riddles but all I see when I look at you, Jon, is true
desperation. And desperation is all you’ll have to hold on
to. To catch a maniac, you’ll have to send a maniac. In
three weeks, Dynasty at Philadelphia, whether it’s Mox or
Cope, it’s me who’ll win and—”
Jon Moxley ambushed Swerve with a tire iron and then curb
stomped Swerve! Moxley left the arena!
Mox: “Consider that a free lesson. Respect won’t get you
anywhere. You’re all amateurs. On Wednesday night it’s over
for Cope!”
Lexy Nair was backstage with Thunder Rosa checking on
Thunder Rosa’s condition!
Thunder Rosa: “Megan, I’m not going to let you punk me
tonight!”
