The Wrestling Voice | The Morning Bell November 12 | Thursday, November 12, 2026
By Dawn Michelle Laguerre | Intended 7:30 a.m. EST edition, America/New_York
Spoiler warning: This report covers all ten matches and the major segments from Wednesday, November 11’s three-hour AEW Dynamite and Collision special. Full Gear and tonight’s TNA matches are previews, not results.
Marina Shafir made the clearest statement of AEW’s final television stop before Full Gear: she submitted Mercedes Moné in a mixed tag match. The women’s world championship was not at stake Wednesday, but Shafir now enters Saturday’s title match with a direct win over the champion.
This match will be pivotal as we head into the Morning Bell November 12 events.
The Motor City Machine Guns also settled their five-match series with FTR, earning the next opportunity at the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Tommaso Ciampa kept his newly won National title, then learned that Ilja Dragunov would challenge him at Full Gear.
The special aired live on TBS and HBO Max from the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah. Below is the complete match record, followed by the stories that changed and what comes next.
Quick results: all ten matches
- Brodido and The New Level fought to a double countout. Bandido and Brody King battled Kofi and Austin Creed outside the ring and onto the stage. The brawl continued after the decision, including Kofi taking King through a table.
- David Finlay defeated Orange Cassidy. Finlay distracted the referee with a chair, struck Cassidy with a concealed shillelagh and scored the pin. Clark Connors later speared Cassidy off the apron.
- Persephone defeated Gypsy Mac. A lariat and Crucifix Bomb led to the pin. Britt Baker accompanied Persephone and joined commentary.
- The Motor City Machine Guns defeated FTR to win their series 3–2. Alex Shelley countered the Shatter Machine setup and rolled up Dax Harwood just before the 20-minute limit. FTR shook hands with the winners afterward.
- Tommaso Ciampa defeated Mike Bailey to retain the AEW National Championship. Ciampa followed an avalanche Project Ciampa near-fall with consecutive bicycle knees for the pin.
- Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir defeated Jay White and Mercedes Moné. Shafir countered Moné’s cover following the MonéMaker into the Brutalizer and forced the submission.
- The Young Bucks and Jack Perry defeated Kevin Knight, Brian Cage and El Clon. The Bucks finished El Clon with the BTE Trigger after a coordinated sequence of piledrivers and a senton.
- Wardlow defeated Nick Comoroto. Wardlow delivered a powerbomb and covered Comoroto with his boot. The attack continued after the bell.
- El SkyTeam defeated The Swirl to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship. Místico rolled up Lee Johnson while Máscara Dorada took Blake Christian outside. The finish was a pin, not a submission.
- Queen Aminata defeated Skye Blue and Hyan to retain the TBS Championship. Aminata hit Blue with a high-angle German suplex and Off With Her Head, then pinned her.
The match record follows AEW’s official full recap, cross-checked against TPWW’s show report. All ten matches are accounted for. Where another recap differed on the double countout, the wrestler scoring the deciding tag-series pin or the TBS match type, this report follows the official account and supporting record.
Biggest story: Shafir wins, then the alliances take shape
The mixed tag main event of the Dynamite portion gave Shafir more than momentum. It showed a specific route to beating Moné: survive the champion’s major offense and turn the next exchange into a submission.
The finish did not end the conflict. Moné attacked Shafir afterward and used her championship belt. The Cut overwhelmed the Death Riders until the Conglomeration intervened. A bandaged Cassidy returned to deliver Orange Punches, then shook Moxley’s hand.
Voice analysis: AEW used one match to advance two Full Gear stories. Shafir’s submission strengthened the women’s title challenge. The rescue and handshake gave the Death Riders and Conglomeration a visible moment of unity before Anarchy in the Arena. That cooperation is a storyline development, not a guarantee that the alliance will hold under Saturday’s pressure.
The Guns earn their next chapter
Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley finished the best-of-five series with a narrow deciding win over Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler. Shelley scored the pin, and the approaching time limit made the final exchange especially important.
The handshake afterward separated this rivalry from the show’s more chaotic disputes. FTR lost the series without another post-match attack extending it. The Guns now await the winners of the Young Bucks’ championship defense against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle.
Voice analysis: This was the night’s most useful payoff to a longer competition. A series needs a result that changes the division. The Guns now have an earned next step, while Saturday’s title match has consequences beyond the two teams in it.
Ospreay stays calm while Fletcher raises the stakes
Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher’s face-to-face led the live portion of the show. Fletcher admitted jealousy over Ospreay’s All In success, claimed responsibility for the champion’s neck damage within their feud and pushed the confrontation into personal insults.
Ospreay said he still cared about Fletcher and pointed to his advantage in their previous singles meetings. Fletcher slapped him, but Ospreay did not turn the segment into a fight.
Voice analysis: The contrast was the point. Fletcher tried to provoke an emotional response. Ospreay presented himself as the calmer champion. Those are characters and storytelling choices; the segment should not be treated as independent medical evidence or proof of the performers’ private relationships.
Earlier footage also showed Adam Copeland walking out after a disagreement about the Blood and Guts surrender. Copeland argued that the physical cost mattered. The footage did not establish a confirmed departure from AEW or an official character turn. His International title match with Kazuchika Okada remains on Saturday’s card.
More title paths and the rest of the show
Ciampa’s first National title defense ended with Bailey pinned after repeated knees. Dragunov then confronted the champion, setting their Full Gear match. Elsewhere, Andrade displayed his contract for a future world-title opportunity and stated his championship ambition.
After Aminata retained, Baker provided a distraction and Persephone attacked. Maya World made the save. AEW announced Aminata against World and Persephone in a TBS title three-way at Saturday’s Tailgate Brawl.
Nick Wayne interrupted after El SkyTeam’s successful ROH title defense and boasted about beating Chris Jericho twice. Perry called for another match with Samoa Joe, while the Young Bucks emphasized their record in major matches before defending against Davis and Doyle.
The trios champions also addressed the violence ahead: Hangman Adam Page put his reservations aside to support Bandido and King before their Texas Death match. A backstage exchange between the Brawling Birds and Wrathlander turned confrontational before their women’s tag-title match.
The Triangle of Madness and Divine Dominion each vowed to respond to their Blood and Guts setbacks. Hyan and Maya World reflected on their first year in AEW before Hyan’s title opportunity. Wardlow’s post-match attack included Davis and Doyle attacking Griff Garrison and Aaron Solo when they intervened.
The broadcast also included a Veterans Day salute and advertised Thanksgiving-week Dynamite on November 25 and Collision on November 26, both at 8 p.m. Eastern.
