The card offered a great mix of power matches, technical showdowns, and hardcore brawls, highlighted by Mascara Dorada vs. The Beast Mortos—a true match of the night. Each bout served a purpose: Jon Moxley and Roderick Strong set a hard-hitting tone, the Young Bucks thrilled in tag action, and Thekla vs. Queen Aminata delivered memorable aggression in the women’s division. While some matches felt a bit rushed, the storytelling and athleticism shone throughout. The ongoing tag title eliminators added intrigue and anticipation for future episodes. Overall, it was an above-average episode with exciting developments and a strong midcard spotlight.

The September 17th Episode of AEW September To Remember  — The Match Ratings:

The Opening Match: Jon Moxley (with Daniel Garcia & Marnia Shafir) vs. Roderick Strong (with Kyle O’Reilly) in a Singles Match | The Match Rating: *** —  This was a textbook example of how to start an AEW event: relentless energy from the bell and a strong clash in wrestling philosophies. Jon Moxley brought his signature brawling style, delivering hard strikes and unorthodox offense, while Roderick Strong leaned into brutal backbreakers and technical grappling. Daniel Garcia and Marnia Shafir’s presence at ringside added a simmering tension, threatening to escalate at any moment; Kyle O’Reilly’s support for Strong, meanwhile, offered a sense of mutual respect and camaraderie. The two wrestlers built up the pace methodically, trading momentum several times. Even though the ending felt a bit sudden, Moxley’s victory was convincing and set a compelling tone for the night. Both men looked strong—and the potential for a rematch, or faction-based feud, was clear.

2nd Match: Bobby Lashley (with MVP & Shelton Benjamin) vs. Toa Liona (with Bishop Kaun & Ricochet) in a Singles Match | The Match Rating: ***.50 — The second match pitted two powerhouses against each other, and the result was a rugged, physical affair. Lashley’s entrance, flanked by MVP and Shelton Benjamin, provided an air of legitimacy and expectancy. Toa Liona utilized his size advantage early, nearly overwhelming Lashley with brute force, but Lashley’s experience and technical wrestling helped him weather the storm. Outside, MVP and Bishop Kaun exchanged heated words, but their managers’ drama stayed subtextual rather than overwhelming the bout. A highlight came when Ricochet attempted to interfere, only for Benjamin to cut him off. Lashley’s spear finish was perfectly timed and impactful. The aftermath teased further animosity among the seconds, promising that this rivalry is far from over.

3rd Match: The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) vs. Bang Bang Gang (Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson in an AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Match | The Match Rating: **** — This fast-paced encounter showcased the Young Bucks’ chemistry and athleticism, countered by Gunn and Robinson’s unpredictable antics. The opening moments set the pace, with flurries of superkicks and tandem offense from the Bucks, balanced by the Guns’ methodical isolation work. Juice Robinson injected top-tier personality, taunting both the crowd and opponents. The middle stretch featured classic tag team structure: quick tags and innovative double-team moves. The crowd popped hardest for a seamless sequence of near falls and a jaw-dropping springboard double team to the outside. The finish—Young Bucks surviving a chaotic brawl and hitting a decisive Meltzer Driver—felt earned. The match’s storytelling left both teams credible, leaving fans eager for more in the tag title scene.

4th Match: Mascara Dorada vs. The Beast Mortos in an AEW Unified Title Eliminator Match | The Match Rating: ****.25 —  This match delivered on every level—athleticism, storytelling, and drama. Dorada’s lucha libre style lit up the ring, as he flew with precision and innovation, but The Beast Mortos grounded him with sheer strength. Early on, Mortos established dominance with power moves, but as the match wore on, Dorada found openings, using dazzling aerial assaults and counters. The near-falls were brilliantly timed, and both men sold fatigue with realism. The crowd was electric, biting on every pin attempt. In the closing stretch, Dorada’s heart and resilience stood out, but Mortos used a sudden, devastating move to seal the victory. An excellent bout that rightly earned Match of the Night, and a testament to AEW’s midcard depth.

5th Match: Thekla vs. Queen Aminata in a No Holds Barred Match | The Match Rating: ***.75 — This contest wasted no time taking liberties with the rules, as both Thekla and Queen Aminata used the No Holds Barred stipulation to its fullest. Kendo sticks, steel chairs, and table spots were sprinkled throughout, but what truly resonated was the raw emotion and animosity on display. Thekla played the role of relentless aggressor, while Aminata’s underdog resilience drew sympathetic cheers. Several innovative spots stood out—a senton off the barricade and a brutal DDT onto a chair showed off creativity with hardcore elements. The pace gradually increased, climaxing in a dramatic table spot that left both women sprawled on the mat. Despite some minor timing issues, this was an intense, visceral match that showcased the burgeoning women’s division.

6th Match: JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey) vs. Killswitch & Kip Sabian (with Mother Wayne) in an AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Match | The Match Rating: **.50 — This was more of a showcase than a classic, but the teams worked hard within their time. JetSpeed brought flash and excitement, particularly with Kevin Knight’s springboard dropkicks and Mike Bailey’s blazing speed. Sabian and Killswitch, with Mother Wayne orchestrating distractions, leaned into their underhanded tactics. The match’s structure was simple—JetSpeed’s offense followed by the heels cutting them off and slowing things down. Although the bout ended rather abruptly, Killswitch’s intimidating presence and Sabian’s charisma made the finish feel purposeful rather than disappointing. Not the best match on the card, but still an enjoyable watch, and hints at more to come from both pairings.

7th Match: Riho vs. Robyn Renegade in a Singles Match | The Match Rating: N/A —  Though brief, this match played to both wrestlers’ strengths. Riho, ever the high-speed underdog, immediately overwhelmed Renegade with a flurry of offense—dropkicks and running knee strikes ignited the crowd. Robyn Renegade managed to assert herself with a stiff lariat and grounded Riho, but the focus stayed squarely on Riho’s resilience. The match ended quickly, serving more to highlight Riho’s growing momentum than to establish Renegade as a serious threat. A solid, if somewhat inconsequential, palette cleanser before the main event.

The Main Event Match: The Don Callis Family (Hechicero & Josh Alexander) vs. Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) (with Christopher Daniels) in an AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Match | The Match Rating: ***.25 — The night’s main event brought a satisfying close to the episode. Hechicero and Alexander, guided by the ever-cunning Don Callis, focused on isolating Dante Martin early, alternating technical holds with power moves to keep him grounded. Christopher Daniels’ presence spurred the crowd and Top Flight on, and when Darius Martin finally tagged in, the tempo soared. Flying dives and high-risk maneuvers sent the crowd into a frenzy. Despite interference and several teases of dissension, the Don Callis Family capitalized on an opening for a clean, emphatic win. While the conclusion was slightly muddied by outside shenanigans, the crowd left energized, and the main event left open plenty of potential for future showdowns.
