5/9 AEW Fairway to Hell Results

AEW Fairway to Hell Results

AEW Fairway to Hell Results – Welcome to Wrestlingattitude.com’s results of AEW’s first-ever Fairway to Hell one hour special on TBS, live from West Palm Beach, Florida on May 9.

AEW National Championship: Jack Perry vs. Mark Davis (w/ Don Callis)

Jack Perry countered a powerbomb immediately with a hurricanrana, landing on his feet after missing a moonsault back into the ring. Davis rolled to the floor, so Perry followed with a moonsault to the outside. Perry hit a shotgun dropkick on the floor and went for his Tiger Feint Kick around the ring post, but Davis cut him off with a clothesline that sent Perry crashing to the ground.

Davis dragged Perry back inside and unloaded with heavy strikes that kept the champion grounded. A shoulder tackle on the apron nearly sent Perry into the guardrail. Davis controlled the pace through the break — even with the accidental production countdown airing on MyAEW.

Perry fired back with a flying forearm that only brought Davis to a knee. Davis caught him charging with a back elbow, then placed Perry on the top rope for a superplex. Perry bit his way free and hit a sunset flip powerbomb for a count of two.

Both men fought onto the apron, where Perry hit a middle‑rope hurricanrana to the floor. He followed with the Tiger Feint Kick around the post — Schiavone calling it the Area Code Kick — then a flying elbow off the top for another two count. Perry charged again, but Davis spun and crushed him with a lariat.

Davis hit another lariat and a piledriver for a close call, but Perry kicked out. Davis tried to piledrive Perry off the middle rope, but Perry sat up and countered with a hurricanrana that sent Davis back into the ring.

That’s when Don Callis jumped onto the apron to distract the referee. Ricochet sprinted out — in full golf gear — wielding a golden golf club. He cracked Perry across the back with it. As the referee turned around, all he saw was Davis hitting the piledriver and making the cover.

Winner and NEW AEW National Champion: Mark Davis

A hype package aired spotlighting Nick Wayne and his return to New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Best of the Super Juniors. This year, he’s chasing the same legacy carved out by Will Ospreay and Ricochet — aiming to join the list of tournament winners. Strong presentation, strong delivery, and a clear elevation of Wayne’s trajectory.

Backstage

Backstage, Jack Perry addressed the AEW National Championship loss. He said Don Callis and Ricochet stole the title he fought so hard to win — and one he was proud to capture in front of his family. Perry vowed revenge and announced he would join Chris Jericho against the Callis Family and Ricochet. He added that the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega would also be joining the fight, putting the Callis Family on notice.

Backstage

Don Callis responded backstage with Mark Davis and Ricochet, calling Perry’s announcement the greatest gift he could have asked for. Now he gets to unleash his men on Jericho and Omega in the same match. Callis confirmed he will join Ricochet and the Gates of Agony in Stadium Stampede, and he’ll negotiate with Ricochet on which additional members will round out the team.

Divine Dominion (Lena Kross & Megan Bayne) vs. Ruthie Slay & Rachel Lay — 5‑Minute Challenge

Divine Dominion wasted no time. Lena Kross opened by mauling both Lay and Slay before tagging in Megan Bayne. Bayne hit a German suplex on Lay. Slay blind‑tagged in and tried a crossbody, but Bayne caught her effortlessly — hitting a Samoan drop on Lay and a fallaway slam on Slay in one motion.

Kross re‑entered, and the two hit Divine Intervention to finish the challenge well within the five‑minute window.

Winners: Divine Dominion

Mike Bailey (w/ Kevin Knight) vs. Kiran Grey

Mike Bailey came out firing, kicking Kiran Grey around the ring before hitting a triangle moonsault to the floor. Bailey climbed the ropes again, but Grey cut him off. Bailey shoved him down, only for Grey to pop right back up and land several strikes on the ropes.

Bailey recovered, knocked Grey off balance, and hit Ultima Weapon to score the pin.

Winner: Mike Bailey

– Kevin Knight grabbed a mic after Bailey’s match and told the crowd that Bailey was red hot, and even though Knight didn’t win the world title, he and Bailey could still climb to the top together.

– A hype video followed for PAC and Darby Allin — sharp, intense, and exactly the kind of presentation that elevates a main event.

Darby Allin vs. PAC for the AEW World Championship

Darby Allin and PAC didn’t waste a second, sprinting up the golf green in this wild Fairway to Hell setting. Darby hit a code red into the sand trap, drawing a big reaction, then followed with a running shotgun dropkick that sent PAC flipping into another trap. PAC answered by throwing sand in Darby’s face and hitting a belly‑to‑belly into the sand before locking on the Brutalizer. Schiavone reminded viewers that while there were no countouts, the finish still had to happen in the ring — not that PAC cared, as he focused on softening Darby up.

PAC gorilla‑pressed Darby and dumped him into the sand trap as they went to break. Back in the ring, PAC scored a two count. He hit the ropes for a lariat, but Darby swept him down and applied a Scorpion Death Lock for a two count. PAC cut him off again and hit a massive top‑rope falcon arrow for another two. He set up a table outside and went for a shooting star press, but Darby moved and PAC crashed face‑first through the wood. Darby dragged him back inside and locked on the Scorpion Death Lock, with PAC barely reaching the ropes.

PAC called for the Death Riders, distracting Darby long enough for PAC to strike from behind. He ordered Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta to set up another table. PAC then picked up Darby and hit a tombstone piledriver on the steel steps. With Darby limp, PAC carried him backstage as Yuta and Garcia stacked four tables in the entryway. Marina Shafir appeared, silently observing as PAC dragged Darby up the stairs and over the announce area.

PAC hauled Darby to the balcony above the tables and prepared to throw him off. Darby fought back, but Shafir distracted the referee, allowing PAC to land a low blow. PAC then launched Darby off the balcony through all four tables — an insane crash that drew a huge reaction. PAC sprinted down the stairs, threw Darby into the ring, and covered, but Darby kicked out at two. The crowd erupted.

The Death Riders tried to interfere again, and the referee finally threw them out. As he dealt with Yuta and Garcia, Shafir slipped the world title to PAC. PAC wound up to strike, but Darby fired up, kicked PAC low in return, blasted him with the title, and hit the Coffin Drop for the pin.

Winner: Darby Allin

Big E Questions Whether WWE Backlash Was Asuka’s Goodbye

Big E Questions Whether WWE Backlash Was Asuka’s Goodbye

Big E raised questions about Asuka’s future following the emotional ending to her match against IYO SKY at WWE Backlash 2026.

Although Asuka lost the match, the emotional post-match scene quickly became one of the biggest talking points coming out of the show.

Big E Teases Asuka Retirement

After the match ended, Asuka and IYO SKY shared a respectful embrace in the ring while fans in Tampa loudly supported “The Empress of Tomorrow.”

SKY also bowed to Asuka after securing the victory, showing respect toward her former ally and rival.

The emotional moment immediately led to speculation among fans regarding whether WWE could be hinting at a major change involving Asuka’s future.

That discussion intensified during the Backlash post-show when Big E openly questioned whether the moment may have represented a farewell.

“I am wondering if this was a goodbye. We’ve never really seen Asuka this emotional,” Big E said.

Big E then continued by praising Asuka’s impact on professional wrestling and everything she accomplished before and during her WWE career.

“If this is goodbye, I know she will be dearly missed. She has been a pioneer and has done truly incredible things in the ring before she even got to WWE, but has further staked her claim as an all time great here in WWE. I don’t know what this means.”

Asuka’s emotional reaction stood out because she rarely shows that level of vulnerability on WWE programming.

The reaction from both the crowd and the WWE panel afterward only added further intrigue surrounding her status.

At this point, WWE has not announced any plans regarding Asuka stepping away from wrestling or retiring.

However, the combination of the emotional ending, SKY’s show of respect, and Big E’s comments quickly fueled speculation online following Backlash.

The match itself marked another major chapter in the longtime relationship between Asuka and SKY, who have shared both partnership and rivalry throughout recent WWE storylines.

WWE Backlash 2026: 3 Things We Hated & 3 Things We Loved

I’ll give WWE this: they were very ambitious with The Miz, Kit Wilson, Danhausen, and Mini-hausen’s (Mini-hausens?) tag team match at Saturday’s WWE Backlash festivities. I don’t recall them running a match like that in recent memory. For the purposes of innovation, I suppose they did their job in trying something new. I also can acknowledge it from a giggler’s perspective; as someone who finds a joke in everything, I can appreciate just how absolutely unhinged this is. That’s where the compliments end. If you liked this match, scroll along! I don’t want to ruin it for you.

This was the stupidest match I’ve seen in recent memory — it was very bad, very stupid, if you will. Danhausen has been incredibly popular since his WWE debut at Elimination Chamber, and while yes, he is a comedic character at his core, you would think that WWE would have made his first premium live event match more of a big deal. You would think that WWE would’ve given him the opportunity to team with someone notable — a return, a rebrand, or a debut would have been appropriate here. Instead we got…an unnamed Mini-hausen. Instead we got multiple unnamed Mini-hausens!

For what it was, this wasn’t an unwatchable match. The unnamed Mini-hausen (the one who came out initially; not one of the many that poured out after Wilson shoved Mini-hausen prime back into the cloning machine-hausen) was pretty good all things considered, and made the most with whatever laughable role he was given on Saturday’s show. The Miz is a veteran (a washed veteran, sure), so he was just okay, and Wilson had a lot of energy that kept him entertaining to watch beyond his uninspired and repetitive gimmick. Danhausen was probably the weakest in the ring, but considering what was going on around him, I think his weak in-ring presence was the least of everybody’s worries. This wasn’t unwatchable, but it was so deeply stupid, especially when we consider what could have been.

I acknowledge that, if we hold ourselves up to rosy dreams and hopeless romanticism, we will inevitably be disappointed — especially in the world of professional wrestling, where the card, famously, is subject to change. However, I still can’t believe people green-lit whatever this was, when we could have had a chance to get Danhausen (or whoever worked with him) even more over, in a more sustainable way. The Mini-hausen gimmick might be funny, but what does this accomplish for the Danhausen character, in the long run? Will anyone remember this in a month or two?

Perhaps Danhausen was never meant for the long run. That’s stupid. This match was stupid. I want those 10-15 minutes of my life back.

Darby Allin Defeats PAC, Survives Latest AEW World Title Defense On Collision

Darby Allin has been a man of his word when it comes to his AEW World Championship reign, taking on anyone and everyone who has called him out. The latest challenger was a man he knows very well in PAC on Fairway To Hell edition of “AEW Collision,” and after a brawl saw the first-ever involvement of a golf bunker, Darby managed to escape with the title in tact.

With the No Count Out stipulation added at the last minute, Darby decided to start the match on the indoor golf course inside the SoFi Center. He managed to hit a Code Red and a Jon Woo Kick that saw PAC fly into a golf bunker, but as the action moved to the other side of the green, PAC got his revenge by hitting a Belly-To-Belly Suplex and a Gorilla Press into the bunker, as well as locking in the Brutalizer in the sand as the match entered the commercial break.

The two men brawled back to the ring through the commercial, and when the ad break ended, PAC had tied Darby to the turnbuckle using the tag rope. PAC went for his Lariat but Darby dropped down to counter and hit the Scorpion Death Drop to earn a two count. The challenger fired up as Darby went up top and landed an Avalanche Falcon Arrow which earn PAC a near fall, and he got confident to where he got a table from underneath the ring, but he missed the Shooting Star Press to the outside.

Darby locked in the Scorpion Death Lock inside the ring but PAC made it to the ropes, but as Darby went for the finish, the Death Riders came out to distract him. PAC took advantage as the Death Riders built a stack of four tables in the entrance way, with Darby taking a Tombstone Piledriver on the ring steps as that went on. PAC would carry Darby up to the balcony, and despite Darby putting up a fight, PAC threw him off the balcony and Darby crashed through two of the four tables below.

PAC ran down to get the win but somehow Darby kicked out, causing the Death Riders to distract the referee so the AEW World Championship belt was in the ring. However, when PAC went to hit the champion, Darby sprung up, hit PAC with a Low Blow, and finished the job with a Coffin Drop to once again retain his title.

Roman Reigns Retains World Heavyweight Title at WWE Backlash, Gets Taken Out By Jacob Fatu in Post-Match Attack

At WWE Backlash 2026, Jacob Fatu may have come up short in his quest to dethrone Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship, but “The Samoan Werewolf” left Tampa having delivered one of the most brutal statements of his career.

The highly anticipated main event saw Reigns and Fatu engage in a physical war that pushed both men to their limits. From the opening bell, Fatu made it clear that his strategy revolved around using the devastating and controversial Tongan Death Grip, a submission hold long associated with the legendary Haku and considered taboo within wrestling lore.

Throughout the contest, Fatu repeatedly attempted to lock the hold in on Reigns, each time coming agonizingly close to forcing the champion to pass out. However, the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief managed to survive through desperation, ring awareness, and sheer resilience.

As the battle intensified, Reigns emptied his entire arsenal in an effort to keep the challenger down. Superman Punches, heavy strikes, and multiple near-falls failed to stop Fatu, who continued to absorb punishment and rise back to his feet. The challenger’s relentless aggression reached another level when he Powerbombed Reigns through the commentary table at ringside, leaving the champion writhing in pain as the crowd erupted.

With momentum firmly on his side, Fatu once again trapped Reigns in the Tongan Death Grip. In the chaos that followed, Reigns clawed at Fatu’s eyes to break free, sending both men crashing into the corner and inadvertently taking out the referee in the process.

Sensing an opportunity while the official was incapacitated, Reigns unloaded with a barrage of Superman Punches before planting Fatu with a thunderous Spear. Shockingly, the challenger still kicked out, stunning both Reigns and the Tampa crowd.

Fatu refused to relent and once again applied the Tongan Death Grip, appearing closer than ever to securing the biggest victory of his career. But in a desperate act of survival, Reigns pulled the referee into the chaos before exposing one of the top turnbuckles. The champion then smashed Fatu head-first into the exposed steel and immediately followed up with another Spear.

This time, the damage proved too much for Fatu to overcome.

The referee recovered just enough to make the three-count, allowing Reigns to retain the World Heavyweight Championship in controversial fashion.

However, the drama did not end with the bell.

An enraged Fatu snapped after the match, launching a vicious assault on Reigns. The challenger locked the Tongan Death Grip onto the champion and refused to release it, forcing officials and security personnel to rush to ringside. Even Adam Pearce attempted to intervene, but Fatu was completely out of control.

When one referee stepped in to stop the attack, Fatu destroyed him with a crushing pop-up Samoan Drop. Although Fatu briefly exited the ring, the furious challenger stormed back moments later and once again applied the Tongan Death Grip to Reigns in a chilling final image.

The show closed with Jacob Fatu standing tall over the fallen Tribal Chief while holding the World Heavyweight Championship high above his head, signaling that despite the loss, his war with Roman Reigns may be far from over.
