Due to Lance Archer being out of action as a result of COVID-19, AEW pivoted and played off of Kingston stating that he wasn't eliminated in the battle royal to give him a title shot tonight. An Animal tribute starts things off before Kip and THE BEST MAN MIRO are out for a tag match. Miro is ungodly ripped and Joey warns Kip about trying to marry Penelope and says that they're on the express lane to victory before cackling like an asshole. I now want Miro to massacre him.
Sonny gets 2 off a standing moonsault and Miro boots him down. Janela gets spinning spike slammed! Big European uppercut to Kiss gets 2. Kip goes for a suplex, but Sonny gets a small package out of it for 2. SPLIT BITCH SLAP BY SONNY! Miro gets low bridged and comes up with a hurt ankle before Joey...does some goofy shit for a bit. Kip gets tossed onto Joey beyond the railing, but Joey...avoids it or something and Kip just splats and it isn't even on camera. Superkick to Kip by Joey before Miro comes in to massacre him with a big kick. Sonny kicks Kip in the face off a springboard and a pop-up lungblower gets 2! Machka kick and the camel clutch ends it now called GAME OVER and JR says he'll get an accolade for the game being over. Good save.
Kingston comes down and tells them to leave the hard cam on and he says you need to check social media because he's facing Mox for the World title. He was never taken out of the battle royal and he's getting that shot and 18 years says he deserves this shot. He and Mox were cut from the same cloth, but Mox sold out while he stayed with the outlaws! He calls out Mox and he comes out and they get separated.
Kenny comes out and Ex tells us that Kenny has asked the ranking committee to take he and Page off the rankings as he does commentary. Colt's evil BOOM BOOM gear is tremendous. Evil Uno is out to face Page. Kenny says the tag team part of him is dead and Page gets a "Apprently Sticking With the Long Pants" graphic. Wasteland gutbuster hits for Page. He gets a Penta drive-style fallaway slam hold for 2.
Knox grabs the boot of Page and Uno snaps a flying neckbreaker off. The Dark Order threatens Page and Kenny says he wants to help him...but just can't. APRON SIDE SLAM BY PAGE! Fallaway slam and then a standing SSP gets 2. Page gets 2 corner lariats, but eats a pump kick. Flying swanton hits for 2 for Uno! Standing SSP meets the knees and a small package for 2. Forearm, discus elbow, and a pop-up stacked powerbomb gets 2 for Page. BUCKSHOT ENDS IT!
Tony interviews the Bucks backstage with Matt saying they've been out of line. They shouldn't have superkicked that Alex guy and that jockey-looking ref. Matt won't talk about FTR, so Tony brings them up again. Matt asks if he has his phone and smashes it before just throwing cash at him like he's a stripper.
We get a great establishing shot of the ring and Tony says everything was backed up on the cloud and he'll use the money thrown at him for a new phone. Brodie comes out and JR says it only took him three minutes to take out and humiliate Cody and take out the Nightmare Family. Orange puts his shades on Anna before Brodie removes them and throat thrusts OC off the pockets bit. Brodie gets the Black Hole Slam as the Bossman Slam called by Ex for 2 and a break. LOL @ Brodie shoving John Silver down while holding the TNT Title up on the apron.
Brodie gets a throat slingshot on the rope of OC. TWO HALF AND HALF SUPLEXES BY BRODIE! OC stays down and Ex says this could all be a ploy. Brodie can't do anything because OC KEEPS FALLING DOWN! Cassidy gets an elbow suicida after sending Brodie into the buckles twice by defense and to the floor off a fakeout. ORANGE PUNCH TO A GOOBER! Corkscrew DDT is turned into a stunner-ish thing by OC! SECOND ROPE DIVING DDT HITS FOR ORANGE! BEACH BREAK/Air Raid Crash hits for 2! Brodie powerbombs him and hits the discus to end it. THIS RULED!
THE EPIC PRELUDE HITS! CODY RETURNS IN BLACK AND WITH BLACK HAIR AND BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF THE GOONS! FIGURE 4 GETS A TAP! Brodie Lee cuts a promo on him for returning WHEN HE'S BEEN DOING THE WORK! He says that Cody can run, but he will cut him down and he will take this dog collar and wrap it around his GOD-FORSAKEN TATTOO AND GIVE HIM NOWHERE TO RUN! He gives him one week to answer a challenge for a dog collar match.
Matt and Private Party come down and Matt talks about his day last week before he was attacked. All he saw was a mask or face covering, and he was hit with steel of some kind. And then Jericho comes in brandishing a bat. Matt fucks up words for a bit before calling Jericho an asshole. Jericho talks shit about Matt taking out Sammy. Marc Quen asks Matt to not fight before he's ready - because HE'S CLEARED! Kassidy cuts a promo on Jericho and says he almost beat him TWICE! AEW is getting mileage out of NEARFALLS IN A TAG MATCH. Tremendous to see in 2020. Kassidy wants Jericho next week.
FTR is mid-ring with Tony and EXECUTIVE CONSULTANT Tully Blanchard. Tully changes the TV rules from being 60 minute time limits on TV to 20 - so the fans get a 20 minute brush with greatness, and they pick their foes for next week. They'll face SCU next week. Loving the 20 minute brush with greatness. And ala the TV Title, the challengers have to win in that time or the champs get the win. BEST FRIENDS ARE HERE to fight the notion of them being backyard wrestlers. They want a brush with greatness tonight and Dax wants to okay it with Tully. Cash says they're fighting champions...BUT IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE BEST FRIENDS. They should rest themselves up. Top Guys out!
Ivie and Diamante are out to face Rusa and Shida. Rosa is out in Animal-style paint and looks like the biggest female star in the company. Nice forearm shot by Ivie on the ground before SHOOT-STYLE BACK CLUBS! Ivie flatlines Rosa and ducks a knee that Shida eats. Double team sliced bread gets 2 thanks to a Rosa save. Rosa hits the DVD and Shida gets the Michinoku driver for 2 and the tamashi knee ends it! This was a lot of fun.
Backstage, Dasha meets with Jericho and he says Isaih is showing some balls - but while he'll be a big star someday, it won't be next week. Maxweel meets with Christopher while they exchange backhanded compliments. MJF and Chris should be wacky partners instead of Jericho and Hager, who have no chemistry. They each call the other out for the LOSER line. TREMENDOUS! MJF says he was calling the limo drivers losers for almost hurting them! And Jericho was calling Tony Schiavone a loser! The October 7 show is 30 years of Jericho!
KING IS HERE and Ex talks about Kingston wearing the colors of Kawada, one of the four pillars of heaven. WE GET SOME WRESTLING. AND SLAPS. AND CHOPS! They brawl on the floor before we come back from a break with a stretch plum! Running Yakuza kick by King meets A SHORT LARIAT BY MOX! PILEDRIVER HTIS FOR MOX AND GETS 2 due to the ropes! STACK POWERBOMB GETS 2 FOR KING! RNC into the Bulldog choke ends it!
Lucha bros attack before Hobbs is in. So in one match, they keep Mox strong, make Kingston strong, and use the post-match to get Hobbs and the Lucha Bros over. Tremendous use of time. DARBY IS OUT AND THEN RICKY STARKS JUMPS HIM WITH A SPEAR! Starks chokes Darby out with his own skateboard and he hits the Roshambo on Darby!
