It's a good top-to-bottom lineup without a big mega-match on it - but Shida vs. Storm is for the women's title and I'd close out the show with a Shida win and then have Toni win it back at ALL IN. Takeshita and Jericho vs. Garcia and Sammy are up first. Jericho and Sammy chop each other after a shoulder tackle. Garcia does the air hump and knocks Jericho down before thrusting in Callis' direction in fear. Takeshita hits a big flying line. Liontamer by Takeshita on Sammy, but he gets kicked into Jericho for a tag.
Jericho goes for the Walls and Sammy cradles him for 2 before a double-down off a clothesline. Garcia hits a rocket kick for 2 before Takeshita saves with an axehandle. SHOOTING STAR BODYBLOCK TO THE FLOOR ON TAKESHITA! Dragonslayer on Jericho but Callis bonks Garcia with the bat! Jericho's pisses, but he takes the win! Daddy Magic confronts Jericho for a MANDATORY MEETING NEXT WEEK!
Lynn says that he won't get cleared against Jack Perry due to all the plates in his neck - and he called a buddy to face JUNGLE! Trent vs. Mox vs. Penta starts off hot with a Trent dive and then...eventually Penta hits a dive and he was clearly late because Trent was looking for him. Slingblade on the floor. Trent eats a can shot and then Penta runs in for a lid shot to Mox before eating a cutter. Barb wire 2x4 to Trent! PILEDRIVER ON THE BOARD! I don't want to insult Mox, but WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TAKING SUPERPLEXES TO THE FLOOR IN A MATCH WITH TRENT BARETTA!?
AVALANCHE DESTROYER THROUGH A TABLE TO TRENT FROM PENTA! Mox tackles Penta through a corner table. This feels like a weekly Abyss geek show match - but it's actually somewhat special in 2023 as opposed to one of 52 of them every year on TV. PILEDRIVER TO PENTA ON THE TACKS! Penta's shirt is off and he lands on tacks. X-PLEX ON THE TACKS! Trent hits a dudebuster on the tacks for 2 before Penta can shots him! Trent hits a big knee sending Mox to the floor and stealing the win - huge win for him and something that plays into the OC rivalry.
Best Friends and BCC brawl! Chuck says that this didn't accomplish a goddamn thing - so let's go to back to Daily's Place and have a parking lot brawl on Rampage! Renee is backstage with RVD and we get a DUDE promo. RVD wants Perry on Dynamite next week. RVD says he'll beat him and retire that title like he did the European and Hardcore titles. MJF comes out and talks about being in an arcade and having quarters thrown at him and being told to "pick them up, Jew boy" and that kind of shit jading him - but now he realizes it isn't a way to live. He says it's hard to be open and now he's opened himself up and he feels better and he isn't the five foot nothing Jew boy and he's not scared anymore.
MJF and Cole talk about their flaws and then MJF plugs the shirt. MJF says that he promised him a title shot after the tag title match - but he doesn't deserve A match. Not just any match. You deserve THE match. AT ALL IN! It's official and signed for the show - no swerve yet either. Roddy Strong throws a bitch fit and the Kingdom consoles him.
Elite vs. Jarrett/Lethal Singh is up. Karen's ability to make herself look gigantic with the knockouts was impressive - but not as impressive as doing something similar with Satnam Singh JARRETT AND OMEGA START IT OFF! Matt wants Singh and gets him and then he immediately wants out and they just leave! JJ CREW DOES THE ELITE POSE! Sonjay wants the OWA on Singh, but Dutt runs interference! GEEK WARFARE BETWEEN SONJAY AND CUTLER! HARDYS BEAT UP SONJAY AND YAMCHA HIM! Hardys and Hangman help them out and the OWA gets the win on Lethal.
Some sinister promo work from the Mogul Embassy with them saying that they're the ghosts of the past. They jump Nick at the Buddy Wayne Academy and smash a framed photo of he and his father over his head - bloodying him up, but leaving the photo in the part of the ring he was at when he found out his father died. He goes for his phone to call Darby, but they demand that he unlock his phone "or else" - great dark movie stuff there and he unlocks it and they threaten them. TREMENDOUS work here.
Vikingo and Komander face Aussie Open, who need momentum on AEW TV. I love the AAA crew having matching gear here. Komander dives off Vikingo's back in a DVD position to hit a destroyer on Fletcher! DOUBLE MOONSAULTS TO THE FLOOR! DOUBLE 450 HITS FOR 2.5 BEFORE FLETCHER BREAKS IT UP! Ropewalk SSP misses for Komander, and Davis' calf kick hits! COAREALIS ENDS IT! Real World Title recap.
Shida's out to her new killer theme to face Toni, who looks so badass in the main event. Shida corner suplexes her for 2. Toni's hip attack is turned into a German! Standing enzuiguri leads to a corner high knee for Shida and a 10 count corner punch! Missile dropkick gets for Shida. Ruby distraction sets up a tornado DDT, hip attack, and snap DDT for 2.5. RVD vs. Hook in an FTW Rules match is up - so they'll have plunder. Saraya slides the stick in and Shida uses it on Ruby and her before Storm uses the paint and the Storm zero for a 2.9! Shida reverses another attempt into a sunset reversal and wins it! SHE WINS THE MAIN EVENT AND GETS TO HOLD THE GOLD IN FRONT OF A CROWD. Love it!
