We've got a fun show on tap with Sting, Darby and the Hardys against the AFO in a tornado tag. Punk vs. Dax is up and they hype up the changes for the Pinnacle with Tully being gone and Wardlow leaving. Gunn Club is in the crowd being douches and G. Gordon Dax eats some chops. Forearm shiver exchange leads to a calf kick getting 2 for Punk. SUPERPLEX BY DAX! Diving headbutt gets 2 for Dax and an Anaconda Vice is locked on! Upkick sends Dax into the buckle and a small package gets 2.9. GTS TURNED INTO A SHARPSHOOTER BY DAX, but Punk turns it into the Vice for the win. THIS RULED! Punk gestures for the belt.
We get a shot of Jericho with Silver when he was a kid. Jericho talks shit about Santana, Ortiz, and Kingstonwho aren't here. TORNADO TAG TIME! Sting is 8-0 in AEW! STING DIVE. Jeff dives. STINGER SPLASH ON THE BARRICADE! DARBY GETS POWERBOMBED ON THE RAILS AND DOWN THE STEPS!
Double side effect to Matt off the stage through a table! Jeff does a swanton OFF THE CONCOURSE WINDOW AREA! Gin and Juice attempt, but Sting turns it into a sorta-dragon sleeper and locks that on until Matt gets into position for a stereo deathdrop/Twist of Fate. That may not have been five stars - but it was perfect. No way for that to be any better - and even the makeshift dragon sleeper worked within the context of the match.
FTR insults the Ass Boys and says they're Billy's Sons and they'll see them at Dynamite next week. Regal is amazing on commentary and puts over Young Pillman for working hard against Mox. Mox sells a boot from Griff that charitably hit and a Death Rider hits! STOMPS AND ELBOWS! Bulldog choke and the LeBell Lock end it - THESE GUYS RULE! Moxley puts Regal over and he accepts it and the cheers. Mox says if you think you can ride with them, you better find the darkest place and love pain. The Blackpool Combat Club is here!
MJF comes out with security and he buries Wardlow for losing to Scorpio Sky because HE WOULD HAVE LET HIM KEEP THE BELT. MJF promises another Punk match for a loss and it won't be over until he attends his funeral and pisses on his grave. MJF says that he gave Wardlow everything he has and he didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of before he signed him. AND YOU SIGNED A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL AND THOSE ARE IRON-CLAD! MJF says he'll keep him on the payroll to stay at home!
Yuta says he isn't the Best Friend he can be - he wants to be the best WRESTLER he can be. Okay then good stuff there. Cole's out to face Jay Lethal, who has the Savage-esque theme and the non-Savage getup. Ex brings up their history in ROH - so I'm sure that will be something we see pay off later. Triple tope from Lethal after a misdirect from Cole. Jacknife cradle for 2. Lethal combo and injection is avoided. Panama sunrise hits and gets 2.9! ReDRAGON distraction and a low blow lowers the Boom to end it. Good stuff!
Cole calls out Page and Page lashes them! LOW BLOW FROM COLE! Cole steals the belt and we get Dustin vs. Archer on Rampage. Tremendous babyface fire from Dustin in this. Sammy and Tay are mid-ring and Sammy says that he doesn't have the belt - but he has THIS RING. They challenge ATT now before Lambert comes out as the CO-TNT CHAMPION, but no PVZ as she is excluded from being in shitstain towns and plugs her page and works in an Orange Cassidy pockets reference. Sammy says they live rent-free in Dan's head and now that they've got that second belt on, they live in his mouth too.
Swerve vs. Starks is set up for the FTW Belt - hyped! Swerve is a megastar in the waiting. Leyla vs. Red Velvet, again. Both have great themes but aren't quite there in the ring. Distract with a turnbuckle and then that gets taken away and she bonks Velvet with another in her trunks to win. Twas a match. Jade wants a big celebration and Rosa gets a hero's welcome before VICKIE COMES OUT! Nyla jumps her.
"Judas" is still MASSIVELY over and Matt Lee is great saying they shouldn't be singing it! Hungee and Jericho are hilarious together and Jericho is just selling like a goof. Silver doing the COMEONBABY pin rules. Floyd shot by Jericho and Reynolds taps to the bridging deathlock from Garcia.
