AEW Saturday Fight Night - Battle of the Belts 1-8-22



Dustin vs. Sammy, Starks vs. Sydal, and Riho vs. Baker are on tap. Dustin vs. Sammy opens up and David Crockett Jr. will present the belt to the winner. Sammy works as the cocky heel here posing in the corner and doing muscle poses. Sammy gives Arn a finger gun and Arn gives him the bird! Snap powerslam gets 2.9 after Dustin almost wins via countout - which would net the title in this instance. 



Big lariat gets a flip sell from Dustin. Double jump 450 dive...kinda hits...  MASSIVE sell for the Cross Rhodes there - love it! Code Red hits for 2.5. Dustin goes up and eats GTH for 2.9! DESTROYER OFF THE APRON BY DUSTIN THROUGH A TABLE Fuego set up. I'm so cool with this being a start for one last singles run with Dustin. 2.99 OFF THAT!  Pair of Cross Rhodes but Sammy avoids the Tiger Driver '98! Sunset flip back and forth ends it with Sammy coming out ahead. 






Dustin and Sammy hug and Danny Garcia goes nose to nose to set up another match. Sammy says he doesn't give a shit about Danny Garcia and he'll take him out on Dynamite. Taz and Ex hype up the FTW Title and Ex says it was originally the Brooklyn World TItle - wow! Sydal gets a  jumping kick and then we go to a break...okay then. Spear and Roe Sham Bow ends it. Lee Moriarty comes out and eats a beating before Dante Martin comes out for a save. Enzuiguri and the shotgun dropkick send Hobbs out.


Riho-Britt hype video gives the match maybe 15 minutes. More Hayter vs. Britt build with Jamie tossing the belt around. Slingblade on the floor by Britt. Britt reverses a dragon suplex into a lockjaw. Riho evades and gets the rope. Mid-ring rollthrough by Britt gets the lockjaw again and Riho turns it into a cradle for 2. CURB STOMP HITS for 2.9! Rebel gives her the belt and then the ref FINALLY kicks her out! Jamie and Britt bicker and a crucifix bomb hits alongside a northern lights for 2.999. Spike curb stomp gets another 2.9. Lockjaw is on and wins it!
