Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine are back with the new Takedown format: each ranks the five most important wrestling stories of the week, and neither knows the other's list ahead of time.
Their lists center on AEW WrestleDream this Saturday, October 17 in Orlando, where Will Ospreay defends the AEW World Championship in the first-ever Clockwork Carnage match against Samoa Joe, Mike Bailey and the qualifying-match winners. The guys also cover the rest of the card, including the Young Bucks defending the World Tag Team Titles against Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight, Mercedes Moné vs. Thekla for the Women's World Championship, and Andrade El Ídolo's National Title defense.
Next, they react to Kenny Omega laying out IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji at NJPW King of Pro-Wrestling, setting up a three-way with Boltin Oleg at Power Struggle on November 3. From there it's WWE Money in the Bank fallout, with Penta and Tiffany Stratton winning the ladder matches, Roman Reigns retaining over LA Knight and Oba Femi beating Bronson Reed. On Raw, the guys break down Chad Gable tapping out Rey Fenix to retain the Intercontinental Championship, and The 946 adding Carmelo Hayes, whose crowbar attack on The Bloodline closed the show.
They also look back at TNA Bound for Glory in Tampa, where Leon Slater beat Nic Nemeth to become TNA World Champion on a night when five titles changed hands. That included Indi Hartwell winning the Knockouts World Title and Amazing Red claiming the X Division Championship. Finally, Garrett and Paul debate whether WWE can really take Crown Jewel to Riyadh on November 7 under a Level 3 U.S. travel advisory, and close with Adam Copeland's retirement plans and what his final AEW run could look like.
