Danielson has been out since Anarchy in the Arena and he will have an announcement that is expected to not be good in terms of his in-ring future right now. He starts off with this exciting promo talking about wanting ZSJ at Forbidden Door and then moves onto Blood and Guts. He can't compete for these events - but his overall health is great and can read 500 words a minute and run two minutes. HE WILL COME BACK. HE BROKE HIS NECK AND DETACHED HIS RETINA AND NO ONE CAN WRESTLE LIKE HIM!
The good news is that Eddie Kingston said he's a judgmental prick and he's right - he has found THE ONE PERSON he trusts to take his place. HE CAME OUT OF THE BAD GUY TUNNEL AND WON'T TELL US - and he won't tell ZSJ either. Okay, that's some shit. ZSJ comes out and we get a graphic for that match. Well that's just stupid across the board. Orange Cassidy and RPG Vice are out to face the United Empire team of Ospreay and Aussie Open.
High/low from RPG Vice leads to quick tags. Mark Davis looks so good in there with Trent. OC runs wild with a double rana on AO. OC and Ospreay are fantastic together. This is still like the most bizarre title match imaginable, but it should be quite good. POP-UP PILEDRIVER FROM DAVIS GETS 2.9 ON TRENT! OC punch hits Fletcher and ends it. THIS RULED!
Christian Cage comes out looking like an angry college professor and insults the fans before calling out the fact that Jungle Boy took him out of the Casino Battle Royal last year - and THE FANS LIKED IT! He gets a shut the fuck up chant and then he buries Wrestling Twitter. Christian says he's not here to help these young fuckers - he was there for them to take an easy paycheck and that's all he's here for. I love Christian in AEW being Booker T in TNA.
Christian mocks Jack's mother and says that Jack's dad is dead! Luchasaurus chokes him out and then Christian says REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO MARKO! Christian says he's like a son to him and they go out and then we just TOTHEBACK it with Sting's return. And then we get the Bucks gloating with the belts.
Malakai Black vs. Penta is up for a shot at the All-Atlantic 4-way. Good physicality here with kicks and an apron chop. Tepe kick saves Black from an apron Fear Factor. Black escapes again and climbs in for a Cro Cop kick. Cutter gets 2 for Penta. Malakai double stomp gets 2. AVALANCHE FEAR FACTOR but Penta jams his back and can't cover. 2.9 off a desperation pin when Black gets a foot on the rope. Made in Japan attempt, but his back is shot he can't lift him. BLACK OUT ENDS IT! Pac comes out before Miro says the title is God's apology to him.
Cole is out for commentary on Page vs. Silas Young. They threw this out as a surprise today and there's such a great story here with him using wrestling to better his life. Instead, he's kind of a goon for Cole but not really. BACK AND FORTH CHOPS APLENTY! Superplex to Young before a triangle lariat on the apron and a moonsault. Buckshot ends it and Cole is here for STORYTIME, BAYBAY! BUT JAY WHITE INTERRUPTS!
Jay White says AS THE CATALYST, he is responsible for all of this. He needs to make the PPV as big as it can be. He can't give Cole a shot because he lost to Hangman twice, but he knows that THE WORLD is dying to know who he will face at the PPV. White says it won't be Hangman and then they brawl before Cole jumps in and low blows Page. Cole preps for a belt shot but stands up to hold the belt up and have plausible deniability! OKADA COMES OUT!
He and Page run wild! Nice brawl and we still don't know who's in the IWGP World Title match. Red Velvet is hurt and they want a new baddie. Kris Stat and Athena mock her with goofy modeling poses. Toni is out to face Marina, whose slow violin theme is death live. Good back and forth before Toni gets spiked on her head in PIP.
Release German by Toni. BANG HIP ATTACK! Marina wants a pumphandle, but Toni RVD cradles her to win. Nyla jumps Toni before Rosa saves. Toni grabs the belt and hands it over. Okay then. This show's build feels way too TNA-esque - just a bunch of stuff and not much of it feels special. And then there's THE MYSTERY MATCHES like Danielson's replacement and the IWGP World Title match.
Sting and Darby are bringing partners to Forbidden Door - SHINGO AND HIROMU! Hook faces DKC and Fenix faces Andrade on Rampage. Nice hype video for it showing their history in AEW until now. COBB VS. WHEELER is going to be a blast too. And now the IWGP World Title is a four-way - so good they got that done. Bryan's replacement will be a new BCC member and Sting's team is OFFICIALLY the Dudes With Attitude.
Jericho and Archer are out to face Mox and Tanahashi. Tana just has IT live. Great brawling to start before Lance pounces Mox down. Taaa tags in and gets the middle rope crossbody! Second rope senton to Jericho gets 2. Death Rider and the High Fly Flow take out Archer. Kingston and JAS brawl with BCC. Then we just get a brawl with half the planet and Suzuki brawling with Yuta. Someone's popcorn gets used by Kingston. More brawling.
