AEW Head to Head Against NXT Review

We start the week off with maybe one of the most buzzworthy things in wrestling today with the Hurt Syndicate. The main thing that came from this is Swerve in a Batman voice calling out Bobby Lashley for Full Gear.

Big names for the first match. This seems to go back to the early days of putting the main event matches on first. Darby put of nowhere from the tunnel. Good brawl before the match also. Orange gives a massive DDT before Claudio starts ravishing him. Claudio goes to the outside leaving both PAC and Orange laying. Death Riders are pulverizing the two men who always gets beat up horribly before victories. Claudio almost gets a pin after a backbreaker on Cassidy. The target seems to be the mid section of Orange Cassidy while Darby stands on the ring apron. A mistake allows Orange Cassidy to make a hot tag. The crowd goes wild. Darby is taking out Pac. Coffin Drop off the top to PAC on the outside. Claudio catches Darby and tries to give him a big swing. No good. Big back body drop by Claudio. PAC and Claudio have turned the tides in their favor again. Now the Deathriders are making quick tags to wear down Darby. Stun Dog Millionaire into a Code Red combo by Darby and Orange take Claudio down. Another DDT on PAC. Yuta tries to interfere but gets a Orange Punch. Marina Shafir knocks down the ref. Mox then interferes. The match is thrown out. Great way to keep the heat going on the Deathriders. The Conglomeration eventually comes out to run off the Deathriders.

Does a Fight without Honor matter on AEW TV? it is just a street fight where they don't have to shake hands. The early goings of the match is mixed. Big Bill gets the advantage on Kyle but Briscoe gets the advantage on Jericho. Ishii puts Jericho into a table with a back drop. Briscoe then focused on Big Bill and uses the chair to launch off the apron over the turnbuckle. Another table is broken with Kyle and Bryan Keith. Big Bill breaks a ladder using Mark Briscoe as the tool. Ishii slaps Jericho down. Briscoe and Jericho are now squaring off again. Lots of action in this match. Briscoe and Jericho chair fight before Jericho can no longer hold on. Big Bill is definitely the MVP of this match. A High-low is what it takes to get Big Bill down. Ishii blocks a Liontamer on Briscoe. Ishii and Briscoe then start to take turns chopping Jericho. Weird Superplex combo move. You could tell where Jericho was being a ring general there and giving instructions. Big Bill and O'Reilley fighting in the back. A guillotine causes Big Bill to fall into both tables he set up. Back to the ring a Jaydriller on Jericho. Froggybow from the top of a ladder onto Jericho. Bryan Keith saves the match. Ishii wins with a Brainbuster on Jericho.

With only two other Dynamites, Three Rampages and Three Collisions I don't see Malakai Black winning this. That is a shame. I don't see the win because you still have to have Roderick Strong win three matches and the two fight to see who will face MJF at Full Gear. Although I see that being a triple threat at Full Gear on November 23. Excalibur points out that Malakai has not lost ot Adam Cole in a one on one match. Black not targeting the ankle. Cole is not looking strong against Black. Pump kick by Cole with a bad leg to Black as he is entering the ring. That does not phase Black much as he pulls Cole out. Black goes for a dive but receives a Super Kick instead. Cole after some back and forth action eats the End. It is only good for a two count. A great match for what I believe to be a lose for Black from the beginning. Adam Cole to only Excalibur's shock wins. Post match Cole announces that basically it will be a triple threat. So looks like I predicted it correctly but just not the way I said.

Well Statlander almost gets ran over. Money and Kamile pay for that attempted attack.

Kip is officially part of the Patriarchy. He even got a hug. Then Hook comes out. Christian wants Hook to join him. Poor Kip is sacrificed to the Red Rum. Looks like Hook won't be joining this stable.

Penelope jump starts the match. Penelope is being aggresive. High knee from ford stops any momentum that Jamie Hayter had. Penelope does a matrix to dodge a lariat. Ford then hits a cutter for a two count. Hayter Aide puts Penelope Ford away. Shame but we knew one of these amazing returning ladies had to lose.

Quite the surprise tag partner for Ricochet; Powerhouse Hobbs returns. Hobbs goes straight to Fletcher. Takeshita is able to sideline Ricochet temporarily. Hobbs takes down both men. A close up of Ricochet chopping Takeshita with Takeshita not being phased. Hobbs and Ricochet work together for a moonsault off Hobb's shoulders. Poor Kyle Fletcher is getting beat. Fun fact Kyle Fletcher's favorite Pokémon is Rayquaza. Ricochet is definately the one taking the beating here. Kyle was mocking fans and that got him a back elbow. Powerhouse Hobbs gets tagged in. Powerlsam to Konosuke. Avalanche Powerslam to Konosuke almost wins the match. Fletcher breaks up the pin. Konosuke escapes a toss and then the two men start to trade punches. Double running boot by the Don Callis Family to Ricochet. Ricochet reverses a double team attempt. Ricochet then lands on his feet after a 450 attempt. The match is nearing its end by the pace of the match. Konosuke blocks a Poisonrana. Doomsday device get a two count for the Don Callis Family. Hobbs pushes Ricochet out of the way for a lariat. Ricochet then almost gets a pin with a huricanrana. Shooting Star Splash and Konosuke Takeshita kicks out. Ricochet wins off a Spirit Gun. Fletcher attack Ricochet after the match with a chair. Matk Davis comes out to the Aussie Open music. Kyle shoves Dunkzilla. Lance Archer attacks from behind. Brain Cage is also there to help with the beadown. Adam COle comes out but is stopped by Konosuke. Ospreay's music hits when Fletcher gets the screwdriver. Ospreay takes down Fletcher. Don Callis Family leaves defeated after Fletcher barely escapes a Hidden Blade.

Next week it will be Konosuke Takeshita against Adam Cole.
