AEW Dynamite & Collision - Kenny Omega Return (AEW Full Gear)
AEW Dynamite & Collision Results – Final AEW Full Gear Go-Home Show. The road to one of All Elite Wrestling’s biggest events of the year is always paved with high stakes, but the final, special three-hour broadcast of AEW Full Gear Go-Home programming—combining Dynamite and Collision—felt less like a stop on the journey and more like a high-octane collision course. Live from Boston, Massachusetts, this monumental episode successfully galvanized every major storyline heading into the pay-per-view, delivering crucial match-ups, earth-shattering returns, and emotional segments that shifted the trajectory of several key rivalries. If the goal was to convince viewers that Full Gear is mandatory viewing, AEW certainly succeeded, providing a blueprint for how a wrestling promotion can balance action, drama, and narrative closure in a single night of television.
The narrative threads woven through this broadcast—from the escalating tensions in the World Championship picture to the pivotal moments in the women’s division—underscored the company’s current status as a premium destination for long-term storytelling. Every segment, whether a grueling match or a heated promo, served as a finely tuned instrument in the orchestral build toward Saturday night. The density of star power and consequential outcomes ensured that the AEW Full Gear Go-Home show would be discussed long after the final bell.
AEW Dynamite & Collision Rundown
The National Championship Gambit: Bobby Lashley vs. Ricochet
The night kicked off with immediate, title-defining action, pitting Bobby Lashley against Ricochet for the coveted number one spot in the upcoming Casino Gauntlet Match to crown the inaugural AEW National Champion. This segment wasn’t just about securing a favorable entry position; it was a psychological preamble to the chaos of the Gauntlet, establishing the hierarchy of power and ambition within the newly formed division. Lashley, the dominant powerhouse, needed to assert his authority after his recent transition to AEW, while the high-flying Ricochet, still adapting his style to the company’s grounded realism, sought the quick, show-stealing victory to cement his main event credentials. Their clash was a perfect narrative vehicle to showcase the diverse athletic talent AEW boasts, immediately setting a high bar for the evening.
This specific title, the AEW National Championship, is designed to elevate competitors who possess elite athleticism but might be one step removed from the World Championship scene. Therefore, placing two individuals with such distinct styles in this opening qualifier provided a meaningful contrast. Ricochet’s aerial dexterity and unpredictable offense represented the modern, fast-paced energy of the roster, while Lashley’s raw strength and calculated intensity provided a throwback to classic wrestling fundamentals. The contrast amplified the significance of the win, suggesting that physical dominance, rather than high-risk agility, might be the preferred attribute to survive the multi-man Gauntlet environment. The narrative emphasized that while speed thrills, strength often prevails in the long, arduous journey toward gold.
Winner: Bobby Lashley
The match itself was a compelling clash of styles that told a tight, logical story. Ricochet used his speed to evade Lashley’s power early on, peppering the ‘Almighty’ with quick strikes and athletic evasions. However, Lashley successfully grounded his opponent during the middle portion, utilizing suplexes and submission attempts to wear down the aerialist. The finish saw Lashley shrug off a momentary flurry of offense, catching Ricochet’s attempted springboard maneuver and transitioning seamlessly into his signature Spear. Ricochet was decisively beaten, confirming Lashley’s status as the initial favorite heading into the Gauntlet.
The World Title Conundrum: Samoa Joe’s Calculated Warning
The narrative weight shifted immediately from the new championship to the very top of the card with a chilling backstage segment featuring the Number One Contender, Samoa Joe, paired with his protégé, Katsuyori Shibata.
Joe and Shibata: A Calculated Alliance
Samoa Joe’s promos are always a masterclass in understated menace, and this segment was no exception. Joe, the cunning strategist, articulated the precarious nature of his impending Steel Cage match against AEW Full Gear Go-Home main eventer, Hangman Adam Page. He made it clear that while Shibata was in action later against Page, any interference from Joe would automatically forfeit his AEW World Championship opportunity at the pay-per-view. This was a critical piece of narrative chess, framing Joe as a disciplined, focused villain who understands the rules of the game—but knows exactly how to exploit the psychological pressure points.
Shibata, in his brief, intense spoken response in Japanese, confirmed his understanding and his commitment to his faction, The Opps, sending a subtle, non-verbal threat to Page. The entire exchange successfully isolated the AEW World Champion, Hangman Page, forcing him to face one of the most ruthless opponents in wrestling history without the direct physical threat of his championship rival, yet keeping Joe’s presence omnipresent. This was expert storytelling, using the promise of a fair fight to mask the true, emotional threat Page was under. It perfectly set the emotional table for the night’s quasi-main event, making Joe’s presence at the commentary table a loaded gun.
The Elite’s Redemption Arc: Young Bucks & Josh Alexander vs. SkyFlight
The trios match featuring the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) alongside Don Callis Family member Josh Alexander against SkyFlight (Scorpio Sky, Dante Martin, and Darius Martin) was a complex story disguised as a six-man tag contest. The obvious tension lay not between the teams, but within the winning unit. The Young Bucks have been visibly conflicted since aligning with Don Callis, and teaming them with Alexander, a loyalist of the Don Callis Family (DCF), was a calculated maneuver by Callis to force their hand. SkyFlight, by contrast, was a picture of cohesion and aerial brilliance, providing a clear, unified opposition.
The match served as a brilliant microcosm of the DCF’s manipulation. Early in the contest, the Bucks were visibly hesitant and out of sync with Alexander, clinging to their old ways of teamwork. This narrative dissonance was the driving force behind the match’s psychology. The athleticism was predictably breathtaking, with SkyFlight’s Dante and Darius Martin showcasing incredible aerial synchronization. However, the emotional crux came when Alexander and Matt Jackson nearly came to blows, a clear fracture in the temporary alliance. It highlighted the moral struggle the Bucks are facing: choosing between the financial fortunes offered by Callis and the familial bonds they share with Kenny Omega.
Winner: Young Bucks & Josh Alexander
The finish was highly controversial and deeply symbolic of the Bucks’ moral descent. After a frantic sequence, the Young Bucks and Alexander caught Dante Martin coming off the top rope. Just as the Bucks were preparing a signature move, Alexander aggressively shoved Matt Jackson out of the way to apply a thunderous Ankle Lock, forcing the submission. Alexander’s move, the TK Driver variation culminating in the Ankle Lock, secured the victory but simultaneously stripped the Bucks of the credit and the satisfaction of the win.
The Cleaner Returns: Kenny Omega Interrupts The Don Callis Family
The celebratory demands of Don Callis were cut short by the electrifying return of Kenny Omega, wielding a steel chair and looking for vengeance against the faction that betrayed him. The pop Omega received was enormous, injecting a vital dose of energy and emotional resonance back into the storyline just before Full Gear. Omega’s arrival wasn’t merely a run-in; it was a desperate, chaotic fight by a man robbed of his championship and his friends. He systematically took out various DCF members, using the chair as a weapon of necessity against the overwhelming numbers.
The tension escalated to a fever pitch when Josh Alexander, the man who just secured the victory alongside them, locked the Ankle Lock onto Omega. This moment forced the Young Bucks into an impossible, agonizing choice. Callis, the manipulative puppet master, commanded them to execute the BTE Trigger—the devastating tag team maneuver they perfected with Omega—on their oldest friend. The shot of the Bucks looking conflicted, hovering over a prone Kenny Omega while Callis screamed instructions, was a brilliant visual cliffhanger. It captured the central tragedy of their story: the ultimate choice between money and friendship, fortune and redemption.
The Save and The Challenge
Before the Bucks could deliver the devastating blow, the Jurassic Express team (Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy) rushed the ring, driving the Don Callis Family away and forcing Alexander to break the hold. The save prevented the Young Bucks from fully crossing the moral event horizon, delaying their ultimate decision until Full Gear. This entire sequence was the most impactful of the AEW Full Gear Go-Home show, providing the emotional fuel for the Million Dollar Trios match at the pay-per-view.
The segment served a dual purpose: it confirmed Kenny Omega’s return to active duty and established the narrative stakes for the upcoming trios match. The Bucks are now in a precarious position, having failed to fully commit to Callis but also having hesitated to help their true friend, Omega. The seeds of a potential Elite reunion were decisively planted, but the ground remains shaky, promising massive emotional payoff at the pay-per-view. The lingering visual of the Young Bucks walking away, unable to look Omega in the eye, will be the defining psychological narrative of the weekend.
The Casino Gauntlet Qualifier: Shelton Benjamin vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey
The second qualifying match for the Casino Gauntlet pitted two vastly different, yet equally world-class, athletes against each other: the seasoned veteran Shelton Benjamin and the high-impact, martial arts phenom “Speedball” Mike Bailey. This was a classic ‘veteran skill versus youthful energy’ encounter designed to highlight the depth of the roster while filling out the crucial second spot in the Gauntlet match. Benjamin, known for his incredible amateur wrestling base and explosive power, needed to demonstrate that he hadn’t lost a step, while Bailey sought to utilize the massive spotlight to secure his first major AEW opportunity.
The match unfolded at a breakneck pace, characteristic of Bailey’s matches, forcing Benjamin to rely on his intelligence and ring awareness. The pre-match handshake established a tone of mutual respect, a necessary counterpoint to the hostile encounters earlier in the night. The two men exchanged high-impact maneuvers, showcasing superb technical wrestling punctuated by Bailey’s signature rapid-fire kicks. This mid-card contest successfully showcased the potential of the National Championship division, proving that the title will be fought over by a diverse array of talent. It also provided a vital announcement: the start of the 2025 Continental Classic, which will begin one week after Full Gear, further emphasizing the depth of competitive wrestling on offer.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
In a surprising finish that showcased the unpredictability of wrestling, Shelton Benjamin defeated “Speedball” Mike Bailey by pinfall. The final sequence saw Bailey soaring through the air, attempting a high-risk maneuver, only to be caught or evaded by the wily veteran. Benjamin capitalized on a momentary lapse, hitting a sudden, impactful superkick that secured the three-count. The shock on Bailey’s face, combined with the clean nature of the finish, suggested that the smallest of errors can cost the biggest opportunities.
The victory means the opening sequence of the Casino Gauntlet at Full Gear will be a veteran affair: Bobby Lashley vs. Shelton Benjamin. This pairing sets a high-stakes, physically punishing tone for the entire Gauntlet, guaranteeing a stiff and competitive start. The aftermath was straightforward—no post-match shenanigans—allowing Benjamin to celebrate his hard-fought victory. The focus was purely on the achievement, solidifying Benjamin’s standing and sending Bailey back to the drawing board, having earned massive respect, but ultimately falling short.
Faction Warfare: Death Riders vs. Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong
The action continued with a high-stakes tag team match that served as direct fallout from the previous week’s brutal Blood & Guts encounter. The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli) faced off against Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong in a contest loaded with personal animosity. Moxley, in particular, was noted by commentators for being on an “unprecedented losing streak,” adding a layer of desperation to the BCC’s usually dominant presentation. This narrative tension was necessary to make the match feel consequential, despite being a traditional tag contest.
The fight quickly spilled into the crowd, immediately establishing the chaotic, hard-hitting style the Death Riders demand. All four men showed remarkable resilience, seemingly unaffected by the physical toll of the preceding cage match. The psychology focused on the Death Riders attempting to isolate and dismantle Cassidy, exploiting their superior strength and experience in brawling. Roderick Strong, representing the cerebral, aggressive side of the partnership, held his own against the powerful Castagnoli. The match was a compelling blend of Moxley’s unhinged aggression and Castagnoli’s calculated power game against the deceptively resilient and popular duo of Cassidy and Strong. The intensity of the rivalry ensured that this segment was far more than just a typical tag match, but a continuation of a multi-month faction war.
Winner: Death Riders (Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli)
The conclusion arrived amidst controversy and chaos, true to the Death Riders’ nature. Wheeler Yuta, a loyal member of the faction, entered the ring to cause a critical distraction. This momentary lapse in the referee’s attention allowed Moxley to capitalize, catching Orange Cassidy and applying the deadly Bulldog Choke. Cassidy, despite his resilience, was forced to submit, securing a much-needed victory for the Death Riders and halting Moxley’s losing streak.
The immediate aftermath was even more violent than the match itself. The Death Riders, fueled by their animosity, began a systematic beatdown of Cassidy and Strong. This post-match assault, however, served as the catalyst for the night’s next major emotional eruption, proving that every action in AEW has a direct and often painful consequence. The heelish actions of the Death Riders, especially involving Yuta’s interference, underscored their desperation to regain momentum, only to be countered by a long-awaited return.
O’Reilly’s Reckoning: The No Holds Barred Challenge
The beatdown was dramatically interrupted by the furious sprint of Kyle O’Reilly, who rushed the ring to save Cassidy and Strong. O’Reilly, previously sidelined and an integral member of the rivalry, targeted Jon Moxley’s leg, immediately locking in a vicious Ankle Lock. Moxley, demonstrating an almost instant, visceral reaction to the hold, tapped out desperately even though the match was officially over, highlighting the psychological trauma O’Reilly has inflicted on him throughout their past encounters.
The Death Riders momentarily pulled Moxley free, but O’Reilly was relentless, reapplying the Ankle Lock. Daniel Garcia attempted to intervene, but the faces—now joined by the recovered Cassidy and Strong—held their ground, forcing the Death Riders to retreat. The sight of the typically unbreakable Jon Moxley tapping out repeatedly to a non-sanctioned move was a powerful piece of visual storytelling, demonstrating that O’Reilly holds a key psychological advantage over his rival.
The Full Gear Stipulation
Following the retreat, O’Reilly grabbed a microphone and issued a direct challenge to Moxley for Full Gear: a No Holds Barred Match. The use of the Ankle Lock, the resulting tap-out, and the stipulation all aligned perfectly, promising a violent, personal conclusion to their long-running saga. This segment achieved several SEO goals by connecting multiple ongoing storylines and elevating a key pay-per-view contest. The challenge was accepted via graphic, confirming the highly anticipated match.
This feud’s continuation, built on the intensity of the Death Riders’ recent aggression, provides a vital internal conflict for the faction. O’Reilly’s return as a force of vengeance, targeting Moxley’s vulnerable ankle, adds a layer of intricate, limb-based selling that contrasts beautifully with the usual chaos of a No Holds Barred match. The intensity and history between the two competitors ensure this match will be a brutal highlight of the AEW Full Gear Go-Home event.
Women’s Tag Tournament: Timeless Love Bombs vs. Alex Windsor & Riho
The AEW Full Gear Go-Home show featured the beginning of the highly anticipated AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament, designed to elevate the women’s division and provide new opportunities. The first quarterfinal match saw the charismatic and visually stunning pairing of “Timeless” Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa, collectively known as the Timeless Love Bombs, take on the formidable duo of Alex Windsor and Riho. This match was a strong example of the new energy and international talent being integrated into the company.
The entrance of the Timeless Love Bombs was a spectacle, immediately winning over the Boston crowd. The match itself was a well-paced, four-way contest that highlighted the unique skills of each competitor. Riho’s speed and technique contrasted sharply with the power and aggressiveness of Windsor. For the victors, the in-ring action served as an immediate chemistry test, which they passed with flying colors. Storm and Shirakawa blended their ‘Timeless’ personas with sharp, coordinated offense, leaning heavily into their collaborative charm to overcome the more traditional pairings.
Winner: Timeless Love Bombs (Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa)
The Timeless Love Bombs secured the victory in decisive fashion. The end sequence saw a moment of brilliant teamwork, with both Storm and Shirakawa hitting dueling hip attacks, disorienting Alex Windsor. Storm then followed up with her signature Storm Zero to secure the pinfall victory. The decisive nature of the win established the new team as immediate frontrunners in the tournament.
The most important part of the aftermath was the immediate reveal of the rules for the rest of the tournament: the four final teams will face off in a multi-woman tag match at Full Gear, and the winning team of that match will earn the right to choose the stipulation for their semi-final match. This unique structure adds further incentive to succeed at the pay-per-view, turning the initial tag tournament structure into a high-stakes, multi-layered gauntlet. The Timeless Love Bombs’ momentum ensures they will be a focal point of this entire tournament bracket.
Full Gear Stipulation Showdown: Briscoe, Fletcher, and Okada’s Betrayal
A critical backstage interview segment further developed the intense rivalry between Kyle Fletcher and Mark Briscoe, centering on their upcoming TNT Championship match at Full Gear. The stipulation, as reminded by Fletcher, is deeply personal: if Briscoe loses, he must join the Don Callis Family. This adds an almost unbearable weight to the match for Briscoe, who is fighting for his independence and honor against a champion who has increasingly relied on the dark influence of Don Callis.
Fletcher, confident after his recent string of wins over Briscoe, openly boasted about his 3-2 record against the veteran, using statistics as a weapon against Briscoe’s heart and determination. Briscoe, in turn, delivered a passionate promo rooted in his identity, asserting that losing was simply not an option. This verbal exchange successfully established the emotional dichotomy of the match: Fletcher’s calculating arrogance versus Briscoe’s raw, working-class resilience. It was the perfect pre-match verbal sparring, creating massive anticipation for their pay-per-view encounter.
The Calculated Attack
The segment took a dark turn when the current AEW Unified Champion, Kazuchika Okada, and the mysterious Hechicero attacked Mark Briscoe from behind, brutally ambushing the challenger. The attack was devastating and highly coordinated. Fletcher observed the beating and then verbally thanked Okada for the assistance, to which Okada replied with a chillingly casual dismissal of his stablemate, Konosuke Takeshita, by saying he was “happy to help as Konosuke Takeshita couldn’t.”
This moment of betrayal and calculated indifference reveals the dangerous, shifting alliances within the Don Callis Family. It confirms that the DCF is willing to use anyone and anything to protect its interests and punish its enemies. The attack leaves Briscoe severely weakened heading into Full Gear, making his challenge against Fletcher exponentially more difficult. It also suggests that Okada views himself as above his stablemates, ready to dispose of them when they are inconvenient, a terrifying display of his self-interest and dominance.
The Champion’s Vengeance: Hangman Adam Page vs. Katsuyori Shibata
The most high-profile wrestling match of the night, outside of the main event, featured the AEW World Champion, “Hangman” Adam Page, taking on Katsuyori Shibata, with Number One Contender Samoa Joe watching intensely from the commentary desk. This non-title match was purely psychological warfare, a necessary step for Page to prove he is ready for the violence of the Steel Cage by defeating one of the toughest men in the industry.
The match began before the bell, with Page ambushing Shibata during his entrance, a rare act of aggression from the champion, fueled by the relentless stress Joe has placed him under. This immediate violence signaled Page’s mental state—he is paranoid, aggressive, and desperate to prove his edge. Samoa Joe’s commentary was brilliant throughout the contest, a constant, sneering voice of doubt and criticism, unable to interfere but acting as a menacing psychological shadow. The action was brutal and stiff, a blend of Page’s frantic energy and Shibata’s calculated, submission-focused brutality. The fight often drifted toward Joe at the commentary table, resulting in tense, non-verbal staredowns that elevated the emotional stakes of the Steel Cage match.
Winner: Hangman Adam Page
Hangman Adam Page won a deeply contested, hard-hitting match via pinfall following the Buckshot Lariat. The closing moments of the match were crucial, illustrating the psychological games at play. Shibata, in a moment of cynical brilliance, hit a low blow on Page behind the referee’s back, a classic heel move taught by his stable leader, Samoa Joe. He followed up with the devastating Juji-Gatame armbar, which Page narrowly escaped by reaching the ropes. Page’s resilience was tested further when he slipped out of his boot to escape an Ankle Lock attempt, demonstrating that the champion is learning to fight dirty to survive.
The victory was a testament to Page’s ability to withstand immense pressure and violence. He beat a world-class competitor who had the full psychological support of his rival watching just feet away. The aftermath was simple but profound: Page stood victorious, battered but resolute, staring down Samoa Joe, who could only offer a cold, knowing glare. Page proved he could endure the pain Joe promises, but the fight took a massive toll, leaving the champion looking vulnerable and emotionally exhausted just days before the career-defining Steel Cage match.
Women’s Tag Tournament: Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir vs. TayJay
The second quarterfinal match in the Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament showcased a collision of power against tenacity, featuring the intimidating duo of Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir against the established, veteran team of TayJay (Anna Jay and Tay Melo). This match was designed to establish the physically dominant team in the tournament, given the power-based offense of Bayne and Shafir, who were both integral members of the victorious Blood & Guts team from the prior week.
TayJay entered the match seeking redemption after a recent lull in their momentum. They used their experience and quick, double-team maneuvers to try and neutralize the size advantage held by their opponents. However, the sheer power and grappling expertise of Bayne and Shafir proved overwhelming. Shafir, the submission specialist, focused on wearing down her opponents with joint manipulation, while Bayne provided the crushing strength and heavy impact strikes. The commentators noted Shafir’s massive in-ring improvement over the past year, confirming her status as a genuine threat in the division.
Winner: Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir
Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir secured a clean victory, winning via pinfall. The finishing sequence saw Shafir secure her signature submission, the Mother’s Milk, on Anna Jay, forcing the referee to stop the contest or leading to a subsequent pinfall from Bayne. The dominant victory immediately installed Bayne and Shafir as the powerful counterpoint to the charismatic Timeless Love Bombs in the tournament bracket.
The clean, decisive nature of the win underscores a new narrative direction for the Women’s division, emphasizing a shift toward more physically imposing competitors. The team of Bayne and Shafir now advances to the Full Gear multi-woman tag team match, where they will undoubtedly utilize their size and strength advantage to secure the highly desirable stipulation for the semi-final. For TayJay, the loss is a setback that necessitates a significant rethink of their current trajectory, forcing them to find a path back to relevance in an increasingly competitive tag division.
Double Jeopardy: Kazuchika Okada vs. Mascara Dorada
Kazuchika Okada’s Double Jeopardy match against CMLL World Trios Champion Mascara Dorada was a significant showcase of international talent, with the high-stakes stipulation that if Dorada won, he would receive a shot at the AEW Unified Championship, but if Okada won, he would earn a shot at Dorada’s CMLL Trios Championship. This segment successfully wove in AEW’s commitment to its international partnerships, featuring one of the world’s most recognizable wrestlers against a masked Lucha Libre legend.
The match was predictably excellent, a high-level contest that blended Okada’s calculated, signature offense with Dorada’s phenomenal speed, agility, and unique aerial style. The Boston crowd was firmly invested in the action, appreciating the world-class quality of the contest. Dorada utilized his lucha background to nearly catch Okada off guard multiple times, forcing the former World Champion to resort to his heavy-hitting, decisive moveset. Okada’s ability to seamlessly adjust to the Lucha style was a testament to his versatility and position as one of the best wrestlers in the world.
Okada eventually secured the win with his iconic Rainmaker clothesline, a move that is almost always a guaranteed finish. The victory was clean and hard-fought, maintaining Okada’s dominant momentum within the promotion.
Winner: Kazuchika Okada
Crucially, the aftermath confirmed that Okada will now pursue the CMLL World Trios Championship. However, the segment included a significant wrinkle: Okada will be forced to team with the aforementioned Hechicero and Konosuke Takeshita—two individuals he has shown clear disdain for, particularly Takeshita, whom he casually dismissed earlier in the night. This mandated partnership introduces a compelling internal conflict for the new Don Callis Family leader, forcing him to rely on the competence of teammates he views as lesser. The segment was an effective piece of cross-promotional storytelling, ensuring that the AEW Full Gear Go-Home show generated interest in multiple championship pursuits across different companies.
The Main Event: Mercedes Moné vs. Red Velvet Unification
The main event of the combined broadcast featured a high-stakes title unification match for the Ring of Honor Women’s World Television Championship. The interim champion, Mercedes Moné, faced off against the lineal champion, Red Velvet, with the goal of finally crowning one undisputed champion. This match was significant not only for Moné’s trajectory—as she has been dominant since her AEW debut—but also for Red Velvet, who stepped up as a credible, fighting champion to defend the honor of her title.
The in-ring action was hard-hitting and emotional. Red Velvet performed admirably, utilizing her speed and resilience to stay competitive with the ‘CEO’. The match narrative centered around Moné underestimating her opponent, allowing Velvet to gain moments of control. However, Moné’s experience and elite-level skill eventually shone through. The two women fought with the passion and intensity expected of a title unification match, demonstrating the quality and depth of the women’s roster. Velvet’s desperation to prove herself against the highly touted Moné made for a compelling and engaging contest.
Winner: Mercedes Moné
Mercedes Moné proved why she is called the ‘CEO’, defeating Red Velvet to become the Undisputed ROH Women’s World Television Champion. Moné hit her finisher, the Avalanche Lungblower, to secure the pinfall victory and unify the championship. This marks yet another championship win for Moné, solidifying her status as a top-tier title collector and a dominant force in the entire women’s professional wrestling landscape.
The victory immediately positioned Moné at the absolute peak of the women’s division, leading directly into the show’s final confrontation. The unification was a necessary step to provide clarity in the championship picture, ensuring that Moné enters her next major challenge as an undisputed champion with undeniable momentum. The clean finish provided a fitting conclusion to the title’s confusing interim status, setting the stage for the definitive final chapter of the AEW Full Gear Go-Home broadcast.
The Queen’s Challenge: Moné Attacks Kris Statlander
Following her unification victory, Mercedes Moné didn’t take a moment to celebrate. Instead, she immediately focused on her target for Full Gear: the AEW Women’s World Champion, Kris Statlander. Moné launched a vicious, post-match attack on Statlander, who had likely come out to offer a sign of respect or to get a closer look at her next challenger. This closing visual was a statement of intent, shattering any sense of sportsmanship and establishing Moné as the ultimate opportunistic heel.
The attack was swift and brutal, leaving Statlander incapacitated and Moné standing over her, holding both the AEW Women’s World Championship and her newly unified ROH Women’s World TV Championship high above her head. This image—Moné, flanked by titles, standing triumphant over the current world champion—was the perfect, dominant closing visual for the AEW Full Gear Go-Home broadcast. It successfully built monumental heat for their upcoming match, framing Moné as an unstoppable force and Statlander as the courageous champion fighting for her division’s integrity.
The Final Message
This closing segment provided the emotional crescendo the three-hour show needed. It cemented the belief that Moné views herself not just as a competitor, but as a conqueror, and that she sees Statlander as merely a hurdle in her path to undisputed dominance across all of AEW. By attacking the champion, Moné ensured that their Full Gear match will be based on animosity and vengeance, guaranteeing a must-see collision between two of the most popular and powerful women in the sport.
The AEW Full Gear Go-Home show delivered on every promise, utilizing its extensive runtime to provide narrative depth, stellar match quality, and decisive outcomes for nearly every major storyline. From the return of Kenny Omega to the unification of the ROH Women’s TV Title, the path to the pay-per-view has never been clearer, nor the stakes higher. The relentless action and focused storytelling on display prove that AEW knows exactly how to craft a compelling final build.
