Dasha tries to talk to Wardlow, but MJF interrupts before he can do so. MJF says that if Wardlow wins the title, it's his title because Wardlow works for him. MJF talks shit about Sammy and tells him to cut the shit and keep the jacket. MJF says Sammy needs to not cut promos and he looks like he sells Adderall to middle schoolers. I love the idea of Sammy as a babyface...but it feels odd to do this while he's a violent heel feuding with Matt Hardy. Page jumps Wardlow with a shotgun dropkick. Wardlow gets a big edge, but misses a swanton. Page gets a running SSP FOR 1! Buckshot is avoided and Wardlow lariats him for 2. F10 hits, but Page rolls out due to where he's planted - frustrated Wardlow. They're telling a great story here of him being inexperienced and that's costing him. They fight up top and Hangman tosses him off the top! BUCKSHOT DROPS HIM TO A KNEE! ANOTHER ONE HITS AND ENDS IT! This was great stuff.
Mox says that he's been defending this title all year and he's defending it not for rankings - but he's defending it and weaponizing it against Eddie Kingston. The Family comes out and Kingston insults Mox for not being here. He's here to take out Matt Sydal THE JOKER IN THE BATTLE ROYAL THAT HE WAS NEVER ELIMINATED IN! Sydal's gear looks fantastic. Sydal armdrags him and gets a Fujiware. METEORA OFF THE TOP gets 2 for Sydal. Spinning backfist KOs Sydal and bulldog chokes him out. He demands Matt quit and so he does.
Ex talks about chatting with FTR and the Bucks earlier. He's with the Bucks and FTR is elsewhere. The Bucks are dicks to Ex and they rationalize everything they did to show how serious they are - they needed their spark again. FTR storms off and says they aren't needed - they'll see them at Full Gear. Matt and Nick say that they bet on ourselves and Ex knows the story. They've added a stip and at Full Gear, if they don't win the titles, they will never challenge for them again. So they're redoing the Cody stip year to year.
We get a goofy political-style town hall meeting for the Inner Circle. Luchasaurus asks MJF how he can help the Inner Circle draw money. He makes a graphic showcasing how much more profitable it will be. Reba tells Jericho he has a great smile and Britt says she loves MJF, but YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A DENTIST LIKE HER TO KNOW HE'S A BAD FRIEND! Jericho says he knows that and they aren't dipshits. MJF says they got into wrestling for money and titles - and they'll get them all. Peter Avalon begs to join the Inner Circle and gets laughed off. A Mr. Eric B from Wyoming returns! He wants to know what MJF will do to make them better and he IS a total package and he is humble, but he is not the best team player - but he can become that by joining them.
Jericho is called a primadonna and Tony tells him that Eric has the floor and he says that MJF is similar to him in that way. MJF wants Chris to answer a question and he wants to know why he doesn't get in based on the friendship, gifts, and great TV! HE GAVE HIM HIS BEST SEGMENT OF HIS CAREER. He asks what he hasn't done and Jericho says he hasn't beaten him - but he can do that at Full Gear. IF MJF wins, he's in the Inner Circle. This stip would mean more if THE BUCKS HADN'T JUST ANNOUNCED A STIP OUT OF NOWHERE. MJF tells him he'll do anything to win. Ortriz tells him they don't want him in and he'll team with Sammy next week to face MJF and Wardlow.
Will Hobbs' win on Dark is shown and Taz says they're about money - and Hobbs is legit. Cody slings him into the buckle. OC gets knocked into the arms of the Best Friends. Satellite DDT is turned into a figure 4, which is turned into a kick of Cody to the floor. We get brawling from the lumberjacks and Cody superplexes him to the pile! STUNNER OUT OF A GORDBUSTER! Silver boots OC behind Cody's back and poses before getting kicked out by Cody. Cross Rhodes hits for the win and then we just get a brawl - so why even bother doing a finish?
Penelope dresses as OC for Halloween before Miro and Sabian beat up the Best Friends. Serena Deeb comes out and Ex talks about her beating Rosa last night and she comes out with the NWA Women's title. She says the game changed when she won the title. 1-2 record in AEW for the NWA World Women's Champ just makes that title seem so nothing. She's facing Leyla Hirsch, who looks like a local indie shooter gimmick. Big corner dropkick gets 2 for Hirsch. Draping neckbreaker from Serena. Gedo clutch gets 2. Leyla's shining brightly here and Serena...is certainly a good hand. MOONSAULT MISSES FOR HIRSCH! Chain of neckbreakers from Serena and the Tequila Sunrise ends it. This was the best match on the show by far.
Shida challenges Nyla to a match at the PPV and that's made. Shawn Spears it out with Tully. Spears gets a quick win and then a costumer in a bull outfit beats him up. IT'S SCORPIO SKY! TKO! OC faces John Silver at the Buy In. Miro faces Trent next week and Scorpio faces Spears. Cody and AUSTIN AND BILLY OF THE GUNN CLUB face the Dark Order too. The Sweepers are out for Kenny wearing the masks of the Lucha Bros. Love the new giant intro for Kenny.
Okay. Omega going B-show t-shirt with this is a great little heel callback. CHOPS APLENTY takes that away! Penta preps a mega-chop and throws Kenny his glove - which OMEGA BITCH SLAPS HIM WITH! FLIP DIVE BY KENNY! Kenny goes up and gets superkicked into an Alberto double stomp in the corner for 2. TWO SNAPDRAGONS BY KENNY! V TRIGGER. THEN ONE IN THE CORNER TO THE NECK! Omega sets up a superplex to the ramp and Penta headbutts him down and HITS A DESTROYER ON THE RAMP! ZERO FEAR PILEDRIVER HITS FOR 2.9!
BASEMENT ENZUIGURI BY PENTA! CIERO MEIDO - V TRIGGER! OWA BUT PENTA FIGHTS OFF. ARM SNAPPER! AND IT HITS! Kenny avoids the Penta driver and gets some chops BUT EATS A SUPERKICK. He blind dives right into a knee! OWA HITS AND ENDS IT! This was one of Kenny's best matches in AEW yet. It sets up Page vs. Omega perfectly - as professional rivals only, for now.
