This isn't a killer's row show, but the card looks solid and has Jericho vs. Ketith Lee as well. Buddy faces OC for the International Title and that will probably be the workrate match of the night. Darby vs. Swerve starts the show off strong. Instant stundog and barrel roll low-pe hit! Audio mix seems off - commentators seem really low compared to the music. Crowd can't be heard at all.
Swerve snaps him on the steps and then DRAGS HIM DOWN THE STEPS! We see Sammy check the match on an iPad watching this with Tay as humans would watch TV and not at a 90 degree angle. Swerve chokes Darby with his own chain belt! Rolling thunder flatliner by Swerve! Darby ties him to a tree of woe and Darby BITES THE FOOT!
POISON RANA OFF THE APRON AND THE COFFIN DROP HITS, but Prince Nana puts Swerve's foot on the rope! Swerve uses a distraction to hit the delayed kick and the SWERVE STOMP HITS FOR 2.9 - he couldn't cover right away due to the foot injury! Cage trips Darby and Aubrey sees him down and throws them out! CODE RED GETS 2.9! LAST SUPPER ENDS IT! These two are unreal together! MJF comes out!
MJF is out in the most blue suit on Earth and says that he's going to beat him again with a HEADLOCK TAKEOVER! He buries MIDWAUKEE and says that he's not on the level of the devil! Darby asks him if he's happy - literally, if anything in his life ever made him happy. Darby says that he knew it wasn't true for him, so he got into therapy and used his AEW money to help his dad retire and this is just a 15 minute ride. MJF says that he may not go to heaven and he doesn't give a shit because IF THE TITLE IS WITH HIM, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS! He's willing to do whatever it takes - but not Darby and the other two pillars.
MJF calls Darby Sting's bitch and IT'S STING is here! Sting whacks him with pom-poms and Sting says that Flair put him on the map and Cody YEAH CODY did that for MJF, while Sting did that for Darby. He throws love towards the Wolfpac and sends love to heaven for Hall and he's a bit of a Joker too! Sting says he doesn't have a thirst for the World Title - showtime is ALMOST over for him, but it's just starting for Darby. Now THAT was a near-perfect first quarter of a show. Very compelling stuff and everything flowed nicely into the next piece.
Hobbs is out to face Silas Young, who gets a jobber intro. They show Hobbs and his new classic car that was a gift from QT. I don't like that car's future! House Business/Shock Treatment ends it quick! Wardlow shows up with a pipe to destroy the car! Then he forklifts it and tips it over before Hobbs take out Silas, but Wardlow comes out and takes out Solo with a powerbomb off the stage through a table! This was all fantastic!
Switchblade and Juice are in a VTR and announce Bullet Club Gold! Buddy Matthews has the most generic myspace butt rock imaginable. They start off strong and OC hits a satellite DDT and the Orange Punch - but he goes down right away! They tease a doctor stoppage before Buddy stomps on the hand! Buddy hits a big knee, but eats a beach break on the apron! Double countout teased with them running in at 9.5!
Buddy hits some OC kicks and then that fires him up and he eats a kamigoye before landing a stundog! OC hits a trio of DDTs on the floor for 2.9! V trigger hits, but Murphy's Law is countered into a cradle for 2.5. THE ORANGE PUNCH HITS FOR 2.9! CHOKESLAM GTS BY MURPHY!? OC goes down and HE PLAYS POSSUM! MOUSE TRAP WINS IT! What an incredible first hour! Christian and Luchasaurus cut a promo from the Hue smart light portion of the building.
Renee demands a medical update MINUTES after the match!? The Best Friends demand that Aussie Open fight them on Rampage. Ethan Page is out in his Shein getup complaining about everything - he hasn't been able to tan or get his haircut! Matt still works for him and HE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT WAS PUT IN THE CONTRACT! Isaih and Matt come out and have such great chemistry. Matt took them out of the Firm with the contract and has made a stipulation - to free them from the Firm...so that's not what they just did? BIG BILL attacks!
HOOK saves! He chucks Lee and tosses Page! BIG T-BONE TEASED BY HOOK but Page jumps him! JEFF HARDY returns and runs wild with a chair, twist of stunning fate and the swanton! He looked great! He looked really heavy and old in recent shots, but he's shaved, lost some weight and maybe popped some hair dye on.
Kenny talks about the BCC taking them out - but to take out Don!? He's not the most likeable guy - but he's still family! BCC is out first and this DELAYS THEIR ABILITY TO DESTROY GEEKS and this doesn't bode well. They're just pacing during the break waiting for asses to kick and then they arrive and do! Nakazawa eats a huge beating and the giant swing leads to MOX MARCHING and hopping IN JOY ON THE APRON!
Double juice from the faces and Mox bites the nose of Cutler. KING KONG LARIAT HITS! DEATH RIDER END IT...NO the bulldog choke by NAK MAKES A SAVE. NO YOU FOOL! Stomps to the end causes the ref to stop it and the Neutralizer hits Nakazawa! Mox says that they put the elite in All Elite Wrestling before OMEGA COMES OUT!
YOUNG BUCKS JUMP THEM AND WOW IS THAT A LOT OF SHOULDER TAPE! It's amazing what Nick can do with a bad arm. BTE TRIGGER HITS MOXLEY! Omega gets a gear case and teases a hit on Mox, but Matt gives him a flathead screwdriver! He goes for it but Mox moves and it hits the buckle and makes a great visual getting stuck.
Skye Blue and Riho are out to face The Outcasts' Toni Storm and Ruby Soho. Skye gets worked over by Toni before they tag out and Riho flies around for Ruby. Riho dive onto the heels leads to Ruby getting tossed in for a break. Double heel corner choke shows off some booty. Apron PKs and superkicks from Skye Blue lead to a superkick to Ruby into crucifix bomb from Riho! Heels win it after Storm Zero and they beat down Riho leading to a DMD chant. SHIELD BOMB to Riho! Britt comes out in a 2002 throwback outfit and leads the charge for the faces!
Jericho's out for the TV main event - which is a better role than him being in a PPV main event. They have a neat overhead cam for him too. Lee stomps out looking badass and then eats a bunch of chops before bear-chopping Jericho and KISSING HIM ON THE HEAD. Tremendous! Lee goes for a Vader bomb, but Garcia prevents it and Lee is sent out with a triangle dropkick.
Jericho slugs away, but eats a big lariat on the rebound. Walls, but Lee gets the rope! Lee chucks Garcia in! Codebreaker is avoided and countered into the sitout last ride! Garcia distracts Aubrey before Swerve in a mask KOs Lee! Jericho wins via bullshit - but he's oddly kinda innocent in this one instance. ADAM COLE BAYBAY makes a save for Lee! He looks on disaprovingly at Jericho!
