The show starts off with Adam Copeland coming out just as Adam, no title. The mic's fucking on him and he says he grew up on the WWF and he wants to celebrate wrestling. He watched JCP, Stampede and saw Owen start his career. He worked hard to come back and he knows that his career is ending - and AEW is where he needs to end it and he saw a murderer's row of talent! He puts over Cody and Tony Khan and says everyone who started AEW should be celebrated. He says there's a reason Mercedes, Okada, Mercedes came here alongside him - and it's time to meet a man that symbolizes AEW - WILL OSPREAY!
Ospreay vs. Hobbs is up - which is a bit odd as it's not the main event. Ospreay works as the plucky face and Hobbs is a great bully heel walking around with the suplex and then suplex tossing him on the steps. An ad for HPV meds airs. Ospreay eats a giant overhead belly to belly before an Oscutter hits. WSM is countered into a small package for 2. GIANT LARIAT BY HOBBS! Skytwister by Ospreay! Hidden Blade KOs Hobbs! This was a fantastic showcase for both guys. Hobbs is pissed after the loss and Don whispers in his ear and now it's time for Danielson too!
Archer jumps Bryan to start things off here. Archer chokes him and YESes his way through it - nice! Dropkick to the knee by Danielson after a dragon screw. Archer slams a crew guy on Danielson! Not a DQ somehow. Busaiku is avoided by Archer before CORNER DROPKICKS! Belly to belly avoidance by Danielson into an omaplata then a Lebell Lock! Danielson avoids a Blackout, but eats a rising knee after the hammer and anvil elbows! RNC out of a Blackout attempt! BUSAIKU ROCKS HIM! A second is avoided, but Danielson lands three roundhouse kicks! Busaiku hits for the win! This ruled!
LionHook are out and Hook says that he got them a match and he's keeping his eye on him. Shane Taylor Promotions cut a promo about facing them and say they'll skyrocket up the ranks beating them. Jay White shows off his new ROH six-man belt and Billy jumps him! Billy beats his ass all over. WHY IS THIS NOT OVER YET!? My capture card goes wonky and when it works it's still a slow walk and brawl. Remember a decade ago when Billy Gunn was 50, did two spots and yelled out THAT'S ALL I GOT!? Yeah that was A DECADE AGO. Bowens and Caster are shown KOed and Billy eats the post, but lands a one and only. TWO FAMOUSERS! Gunns come out and cause a DQ. Jesus. Acclaimed are out to save Billy - who decks Jay so...fuck.
Willow comes out to save the show! She cuts a great promo about loving this town and finding herself there and traveling the roads with Kris. BIG STOKE puts her over huge before Mercedes interrupts and says she'll face the winner at DON. Bucks are out with a cool camera angle for their entrance. TRENT'S MOM SUE IS IN THEIR GETUP!
Trent gets Spider-Bret'd in the ropes before Matthew locks on a locomotion northern lights! Matthew does commentary for Excalibur to stick with it! OC kicks by the Bucks lead to them missing the EVP TRIGGER AND OC HITTING A DDT! DIVING DDT HITS FOR 2! Lazy man's INDYTAKER BY THE BEST FRIENDS! MATT ALMOST KICKS SUE AFTER SUPERKICKING EVERYONE ELSE! ORANGE PUNCH! Stacked strong zero hits for 2! OC dives on Nick! Catapult into the exposed buckle and a tights hold gets the win for the Bucks! THREE WAY HUG IS TEASED BUT TRENT BUSAIKU KNEES OC!
Mariah May'n event time! Rosa is out for the match and Toni is here on commentary! HIP ATTACK BY MARIAH and a basement dropkick gets 2! Toni says that Taz has been training Tony and Taz points out that Tony's 60 years older. Toni - Mariah reminds me a young Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa reminds me of an old Thunder Rosa Ouch. Tijuana Bomb wins it for Rosa!? Okay then - I guess we're getting Mariah vs. Toni Storm at Wembley. Rosa vs. Storm is official for Dynasty and we get a split screen in black and white.
THE PEOPLE ARE FOR PENTA AND THE PEOPLE ARE FOR PENTA and Alex says Penta needs gold again - AND HE'LL FACE ADAM COPELAND FOR THE TNT TITLE! Penta vs. Cope on Dynamite! Penta vs. Komander is up for Collision and THERE'S STILL A CONTRACT SIGNING for Joe vs. Swerve. Joe says he's going to scar him like he left Diddy's party too late - SO MY BROTHA, DON'T SIGN IT!
Swerve says before he signs, he has to think about this - he dreamed about this moment and didn't think it was possible. Joe busts him up with the chain! CORNER JABS WITH THE CHAIN! Swerve leaughs and says if that's all ya got, then he's taking the title! Swerve strikes a crucifix pose after signing in his blood and eats a uranage through the table! Now that was cool and the visual of Swerve as basically Black Jesus dying for his sins here was fantastic.
