AEW Dynamite & Collision Recap Tonight for Portland Jericho & the Young Bucks Have Two Names for One Team! At a lighthouse in Portland earlier today, the Young Bucks and Jericho went through their history as founding fathers and opponents, including the first Stadium Stampede match and when Jericho kicked Papa Buck’s ass. Jericho apologized for that (even though he totally deserved it). Jericho said tonight is the first time he’s ever tagged with the Bucks, who he called one of the greatest tag teams of all time. The Bucks wanted to call their team The Bucks of Jericho. Jericho proposed Y2Jackson. Then they combined the names. Two names, one team! Trios Match: Ricochet & Don Callis Family’s Andrade El Ídolo and AEW National Champion Mark Davis def. Jericho & Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) Apparently, their earlier meeting left out the part where Jericho and the Bucks had matching ring jackets made, and we got an extended look at them while the crowd sang “Judas.” Don Callis joined commentary as this one got underway with Ricochet tagging out to Andrade instead of facing Jericho. Nothing wrong with that, as this was the first time Jericho and Andrade had been in the ring together! Jericho chopped Andrade in the corner and whipped him to the opposite side, but Andrade bailed to the floor and got a picture with a pair of admirers! Andrade turned around into a chop from Jericho, who then sent him into the steel steps. Jericho brought Andrade back in and tagged Nick Jackson. Matt came in as well, and Andrade was sent to the corner. Matt and Nick each charged, but got sent to the apron. Jericho smashed Andrade with a running clothesline as the Bucks hit stereo enzuigiris to Andrade’s head! Jericho came off the second rope with a dropkick, so the Bucks and Jericho kept the offense going with a triple-team fist drop/moonsault/splash combo on the grounded Andrade! Andrade pushed Nick into the corner and tagged Davis for the first time. He immediately took Nick down and squished him with a standing senton. Ricochet tagged in and immediately tagged Andrade, but their double-team attempt on Nick was reversed into a meeting of the minds! Matt tagged back in and fought off all three opponents, including a sliced bread on Andrade while running up Ricochet’s chest! Ricochet tried a backslide, so Matt reversed it into a neckbreaker across his knee. Matt slid under the bottom rope and put a superkick flush on Davis’ chin. Matt grabbed Andrade for three Northern Lights Suplexes, and when he went for a fourth, Ricochet pulled him away, only for Matt to turn the momentum into a facebuster quickly. Matt got Ricochet and Andrade with a Double Northern Lights Suplex and dove onto Andrade and Ricochet on the floor! Jericho followed from the top rope and took down Ricochet, Davis and Andrade! Jericho and the Bucks posed in the ring, and Portland loved it! The Callis Family turned it around and isolated Nick for a brief time until he used a wristlock armdrag/tijeras combo to take down Ricochet and Davis! Nick tagged Jericho as Ricochet tagged Andrade. Jericho knocked Davis off the apron and put Andrade down with a pair of shoulder blocks. Andrade sent Jericho over the top to the apron, so Jericho ran to the top rope and came down with a double axehandle. He seemed to be setting up for a Lionsault, but was distracted by Ricochet on the apron, who was sent to the floor for his interruption. Jericho put Andrade on the top rope, and quickly, all six men were in the ring with Jericho and the Bucks in control at three different corners. They all landed punches, and Matt started things with a top-rope hurricanrana to Ricochet, which Nick copied on Davis, and then ended with Jericho hitting his own hurricanrana to send Andrade from the top turnbuckle to the mat! The Bucks and Jericho lined up Andrade, but Andrade ducked the Judas Effect only to walk into a pair of superkicks from the Bucks and right back to a Codebreaker from Jericho! Ricochet broke up the pin just in time. Jericho tagged Nick, who also brought in Matt, and they called for a Superkick Party! They peppered Andrade with kicks all over and then did the same to Davis! Ricochet flew at them with a springboard, but ate a double superkick on the way down! Andrade avoided a charge from Nick in the corner and completed Three Amigos on Matt. He followed with a suplex to Nick on Matt. Andrade tried for the double moonsault, but Matt was ready with his knees on Andrade’s second attempt. Nick jumped off Matt for a Canadian Destroyer on Andrade! The Bucks hit a BTE Trigger on Andrade! Ricochet broke it up with a Ricosault! Ricochet tried to swing at Jericho, so Jericho ducked and grabbed him for the Walls of Jericho, which Ricochet spun out of and got back to his feet. Ricochet hit a rising knee, only for Jericho to come right back with a clothesline to send Ricochet to the floor. Jericho slid under the bottom rope with a kick to Ricochet, but when he tried to follow, Ricochet slammed Jericho’s head into the announce desk. They fought into the timekeeper’s area, where Jericho put Ricochet and himself through a pair of tables with a back suplex from on top of the barricade! Meanwhile, back in the ring, Davis broke up the Bucks’ double-team attempt on Andrade. Davis and Andrade isolated Matt until Andrade missed a spinning back elbow and hit Davis instead! The Bucks hit double superkicks on Andrade and then another BTE Trigger! Andrade kicked out in the nick of time! The Bucks were stunned! As the Bucks set Andrade up for the flipping piledriver, Davis distracted the referee with a chair on the floor while The Dogs attacked the Young Bucks! David Finlay cracked Matt with a shillelagh, and Andrade pinned Matt for the victory! Toa Liona hit the ring to attack the Bucks, so “Jungle” Jack Perry came to their rescue with...a bag of onions?! He ducked a charge from Liona and smashed him over the head with the onions! Liona shook it off and trucked Perry! The Hurt Syndicate hit the ring and immediately fought with Liona and Davis! Lashley and Liona fought in and out of the ring while Benjamin and Davis brawled into the crowd. Finlay and Perry battled it out elsewhere in the arena, and this is a perfect preview for Sunday’s Spring Stampede! Lashley and Liona wound up back in the ring, where Lashley put him down with a massive spear! The fights started to die down, but they’ll pick back up with the biggest Stadium Stampede ever on Sunday at Double or Nothing! Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita Comes to a Boiling Point We took a look at the complicated history between Okada and Takeshita, including Takeshita agreeing to tag with Okada to then face him for the AEW International Championship. Takeshita wound up abandoning Okada in their loss to the Young Bucks, which should have broken the deal, but Okada said he still wanted the match. Don Callis has done everything he can to keep a semblance of peace between the two, but that all goes out the window at Double or Nothing! AEW World Champion Darby Allin Addresses Speedball and MJF Renee Paquette asked AEW World Champion Darby Allin about taking an AEW World Title defense against “Speedball” Mike Bailey just four days before defending against MJF in a Hair vs. Title match at Double or Nothing. Allin said he feels everything. He’s not numb to the pain. People keep asking him why every week? Allin said he had no choice. This is what he thought it would be. It’s the greatest feeling in the world to be an AEW World Champion. He explained that he wanted MJF’s hair because he’s the most vain person alive, and if his hair is gone, it will eat MJF alive. Allin addressed Bailey and said he’ll do anything it takes to hang onto the AEW World Title and wants Bailey to do the same. He reiterated he’ll do whatever it takes. The Full History of MJF and Darby Allin Before Hair vs. Title That brought us to a look at the long and storied history of Allin and MJF, which took a major turn when Allin beat MJF for the AEW World Title in a matter of minutes just three days after Dynasty. As Allin continued to defend the AEW World Championship, MJF continued to beg for an AEW World Title match, only to be rebuffed over and over until he agreed to put his hair on the line! Anything Goes Match: Mark Briscoe def. “Psycho Killer” Tommaso Ciampa The referee is only out there to ring the bell and call the decision because ANYTHING GOES in this one, and Briscoe came out with a can full of weapons, which he immediately tossed at Ciampa in the ring! The bell rang, and we were off with Ciampa taking a wild swing at Briscoe with a kendo stick and missing, so Briscoe lit him up with punches. Ciampa fought back until Briscoe put him down with a thrust to the neck. Briscoe came back with a slingblade forearm and tried to hit Ciampa with the trash can, but Ciampa kicked him in the knee and hit Briscoe with the can. Ciampa found his own can of weapons under the ring and reached down to the bottom, but with an angry exclamation, his mood immediately changed. His hand was caught in a mouse trap large enough to catch a New York City rat! Briscoe kicked Ciampa through the ropes and followed outside to continue his offense with a mop that he broke across Ciampa’s back! Briscoe set up a table and a chair next to each other and sat Ciampa in it. He got up on the apron and ran down with a diving Blockbuster to Ciampa on the floor! Briscoe choked Ciampa with a chain and put him on the table with the chain wrapped around Ciampa! Briscoe went to the top rope, but Ciampa got up to meet him. He wrapped the chain around Briscoe’s neck and flung him through the table on the floor! The crowd was stunned into a “HOLY SHIT” chant! Ciampa produced a cheese grater back in the ring and dragged it across Briscoe’s forehead over and over, which drew a significant amount of blood! Ciampa started using anything he could find to continue his assault on Briscoe on the outside. With Briscoe in bad shape, Ciampa started to taunt the crowd by fighting a stuffed chicken until Briscoe blinded him with a fire extinguisher! Ciampa met Briscoe with a cookie sheet across the head, but Briscoe yelled through his crimson mask and shook it off! Briscoe punched Ciampa repeatedly and flipped him to the mat with an exploder. Ciampa rolled to the floor, and Briscoe wasn’t far behind to find another table under the ring. Briscoe set it up near the apron in front of the announce table as Ciampa struggled to get back to his feet. Briscoe nailed him with a cookie sheet and returned to the table, where he stapled barbed wire to the table! He took a few breaks to keep Ciampa down, but eventually, he took too long, and Ciampa threw a trash can at him. Ciampa used the barbed wire as floss in Briscoe’s mouth! Ciampa used the staple gun to attach multiple pieces of paper to Briscoe’s already bleeding head! Briscoe crawled around the mat with paper still stapled to his head, as Ciampa put on a tack-covered knee pad! He charged at Briscoe, but Briscoe saw it coming and sent Ciampa head-first into a chair with a drop toe hold! Briscoe got a screwdriver and jabbed it into Ciampa’s face and forehead! Ciampa saw his own blood for the first time in the match! Somehow, Ciampa came back with a suplex into a chair set up in the corner. He went for the first pin of the match, and Briscoe kicked out! As the two struggled to their feet, the enthusiastic crowd chanted “AEW!” Ciampa stopped a strike battle with a rake of Briscoe’s eyes, and then he nailed Briscoe with the tack-covered knee in the head! Ciampa could have ended it there, but once again, he went for an Avalanche Psycho Driller through a pair of chairs. Briscoe fought Ciampa off and turned the chairs so the impact would hit the top of the chair back instead of the seat! He flipped Ciampa over his head and onto the increasingly unforgiving steel! Briscoe brought Ciampa to the apron and put him through a table on the floor with a Jay Driller! Briscoe made it a certainty with a Froggy Bow from the top to get the pinfall victory! What a war! Bandido Brings the Fight to Swerve! Tony Schiavone was in the ring to introduce Swerve Strickland, but was quickly interrupted by Prince Nana, who insulted Schiavone and sent him from the ring. Nana gave Swerve his own introduction, and Strickland was back on Dynamite! He only made it a few feet down the ramp before ROH World Champion and Strickland’s Owen Cup opponent, Bandido, attacked him from behind as revenge for Strickland’s ambush at Friday’s ROH Supercard of Honor! Bandido stayed on Swerve and sent him into the guard rails. Swerve tried to turn things around and sent Bandido into the ring. Bandido knocked Swerve off the apron and flew over the top with a swanton dive! Bandido threw Strickland into the steel steps and turned around just in time to stop Nana from hitting him with a chair. That was enough time for Swerve to recover and kick Bandido in the back of the knee. Strickland rained down hammer blows across Bandido and threw him into the ring. Swerve set up a chair and picked up Bandido for a Vertebreaker, but Bandido stopped him, and Gorilla Pressed Swerve with one arm! Bandido grabbed the chair and thought about using it before setting it back up in the middle of the ring. He bounced off the ropes, so Swerve threw the chair at
