Sting returns to the ring in a TV match and in a smart move, it's a tag match against 2.0. They'll fly around for him, Darby gets the win and looks strong building up to the likely Punk match at All Out. Jericho vs. MJF's blow-off is theoretically here too and Jericho can't have "Judas" or the Judas Effect. Mox and King are coming down but 2.0 jumps them and they want the match NOW! Sting is down and Darby jumps them with a skateboard and we get back to back Stinger splashes and corner bodychecks by Darby.
We get a walk and brawl and it's amazing how great Sting moves at his age and with his injuries. Darby WALKS A RAIL, A LITERAL RAIL and dives on the heels! Parker takes Sting's knee out and they go to use the skateboard on Darby. SUPLEX ON THE WHEELS OF THE SKATEBOARD! We see Sammy propose to his girlfriend via Dark. Spears buries him for slim pickings here - but he'll let her "join the Pinnacle" for one night and he'll even let her be on top.
Sammy's story arc with this past year growing into his own as an act without the Inner Circle has been fantastic. Spears jumps Sammy on the ramp. FLIP OFF THE RAMP TO SPEARS! Spears and Tully DO THE SPIKE PILEDRIVER ON THE FLOOR! The bell hasn't rung so it's legal, but AUBREY EJECTS HIM trying it again. During the break, a railing bridge is set up between the apron and barricade. AVALANCHE CUTTER BY SAMMY. AVALANCHE C4 BY SPEARS! Holy shit! This is Spears' best match since the Cody match. C4 BY SAMMY, more of an AA off the apron into the barricade bridge! 630 SENTON HITS AND GETS 2.99!!!!! Three seated knees hit and the GTH ends it. THIS RULED!
Tony chats with Christian before Don interrupts IN A POWDER BLUE SUIT! Donny's powder blue suit is something else. Don says he loves seeing Christian around and he loved giving him his first break on TV and HE'S ON TOP OF THE WORLD and hey, Christian is still having matches...and Kenny will get him a five star match. Christian calls him a carny piece of shit. Dante Martin gets a nice video package. Dan Lambert, JDS, and Andrei Arlovski are mid-ring and he says that he made a call and his guys can get in a ring before burying the fans as the Men of the Year beat up Lance.
Jericho says he'll have the fans sing him to the ring tonight and he'll take MJF out tonight. Jurassic Express is out for the tag title match! Jungle Boy getting the full-on Tarzan Boy singalong to a packed house on TNT helps him so much. Love the Bucks out in Zubaz gear. Jack runs wild for a bit before tagging in Luchasaurus. Leap-over rana by Jungle Boy to Nick! The dinosaur tags in and eats a tornado kick by Nick. SUPERPLEX OF OF HIS BACK BY JUNGLE BOY FOR 2. DOUBLE CHOKESLAM BY LUCHASAURUS and the tombstone/cutter gets 2! INDYTAKER and senton combo gets 2.9 on Jungle Boy! Kenny is out and slides a chair in - They're setting up that chair as a key prop in the breakup of the Elite. BRAINBUSTER ON THE CHAIR BY JUNGLE BOY! THAT GETS 2. THORASSIC EXPRESS GETS 2. Jungle Boy backslide is rolled through and a BTE TRIGGER ENDS IT. This was a lot of fun. Elite beats up Cage. LOL @ Don selling the foot after stomping Christian. OWA and Don counts three.
Tony meets with DR. BRITT BAKER and Jamie Hayter. Britt says that Red chose Kris to be her friend - but Kris has everyone as her best friend. Jamie says that she answered Britt's call and she took them out last week - and she'll do it in Milwaukee on Dynamite. OC vs. Hardy hype video leads to Tony bringing Paul Wight out. Wight says it was amazing to get back in the ring and he gets interrupted by QT and his blue and black bowling shirt. I hope Paul's announcement was that he would buy him a third bowling shirt with crowdfunding. QT shows Wight's hip devices and JESUS it really is impressive he can move this well. Wight HAS A MATCH IN CHICAGO! He'll face QT.
Jade hypes up Kiera Hogan and their match on Rampage. In just TWO MATCHES, they made Hogan seem like a star facing Kris and Shida. Tony meets with Don and his POWDER BLUE SUIT! We get someone yelling and it drowns out Don before Tony brings up a title eliminator tourney LEADING TO AN ALL OUT CAGE MATCH! Team Taz gets a promo segment to do...not much really. Ford vs. Rosa is up and Ford is working in leather pants and a top - which looks a bit odd. Cutter on the floor by Ford after Rosa dropkicks her to the floor. Rose gets a rope-trap dropkick! Half-crab by Rosa and a Muta lock by Ford but an RNC by Rosa wins it.
MALAKAI BLACK RECAP VIDEO! This leads to Tony chatting with Arn and Brock Anderson. Arn says his son is progressing - but HE HAS A MATCH AGAINST MALAKAI BLACK. He appreciates his son trying to avenge him, BUT HE'S VICIOUS AND HE WILL HURT YOU. Brock says he loves his dad - but he's telling him he's doing this. Matt vs. OC next week alongside the Lucha Bros vs. Varsity Blonds. Private Party vs. Jurassic Express at the First Dance, Mox vs. Danny Garcia and we get a massive CM Punk chant.
Miro says Fuego didn't earn his contract - and for that reason, he couldn't forgive him. He serves God by day and his wife by night - and Eddie Kingston, THE REDEEMER WANTS A WORD WITH YOU! Mox says that he's tired of white knight cowboys like Adam Page and he'll walk through Christian's ass like a wheat thrasher and he carried this company through uncertain times with empty buildings. HE PLANTED THE FLAG ON WEDNESDAYS and he'll show Garcia what it's like to main event. The ref and the ringside doctor are there for your safety - but that's not my concern!
Fans sing Jericho down while MVC 2 gets some love. They brawl outside and MJF does Jericho's bird flip bit with the broadcast camera - BUT JERICHO SLUGS HIM! Jericho goes up and gets an axehandle, but MJF takes the brace off the left elbow and works the arm over. LIONSAULT hits for 2. MJF gets a "you ain't shit!" chant and Jericho gets a "fuck him up, Jericho - fuck him up" chant. Kinda surprised that TNT let the "fuck him up Jericho - fuck him up" chants go through. I like Jericho taking notes out of Matt Hardy's playbook on how to fill a lot of time with things that involve movement - but not taking a lot of bumps with that new long corner lariat series.
