It's a rare taped Dynamite and Taz is back with Ospreay vs. Brody King, which shockingly got rave reviews and Excalibur's voice is already shot. Brody avoids a dive but eats a dropkick into the steps face-first. SPINEBUSTER TO OSPREAY INTO THE STEPS! MASSIVE forearm shivers back and forth until a JEEEZUS backdrop by King! CHOP EXCHANGE AND BRODY IS JUST REGISTERING! Brody cannonball gets 2! BRODY KICKS THE FUCK OUT OF HIM AS HE'S KNEELING DOWN! Brody grabs the wrist and chops the fuck out of him a bunch. STYLES CLASH GETS 2 FOR OSPREAY! HIDDEN BLADE MEETS A LARIAT AND THE GONZO BOMB GETS 2! LARIAT OF DEATH FOR 2.5! RUNNING HIDDEN BLADE GETS 1! STORMBREAKER WINS IT! THIS RULED!
Backstage, the Hurt Syndicate is told they're banned from the building tonight and MVP obliges FOR RENEE. Love it and Lashley's red jacket. Darby vs. Ricochet is up and Ricochet complains about a hairpull. They fight on the floor and a caffin splash on the barricade is avoided and a superkick lands for Ricochet. 630 OFF THE TOP THROUGH A TABLE ON THE FLOOR! Avalanche then a running code red gets 2 for DARBY! Ricochet misses a springboard 450 and Darby gets a Fujiwara on with a finger pull! He turns it into a Venus de Milo before an escape and a deathdrop hits but time expires! The draw gives Ricochet a spot in the finals!
Darby chats with Komander and THE HYPE MAN to give them advice for the Claudio match due to the knucks. Claudio tosses him around with backbreakers before going up top for an AVALANCHE GUTBUSTER! RUN UP RINGPOST FLIP DIVE TO CLAUDIO ON THE FLOOR! KOMANDER SLUGS HIM WITH KNUCKS AND WINS IT AFTER A ROPEWALK SSP! Wow - they elevated him big-time with this and the ROH TV Title win - good stuff. Tells the tale about that title win upping his confidence too. Death Riders beat his ass before OC and Jay save! Mox beats asses until THE HANGMAN IS HERE! PARADE OF FINISHERS TO MOX!
Okada vs. Shelton is up in another first-time match tonight. Okada gets an edge with matwork before they even up on armdrags. Avalanche slam by Shelton and he gets an ankle lock! MONEY CLIP BY OKADA! Rainmaker avoided and he gets a German before a second before Shelton reverses with a giant throwing German! CORNER RISING KNEE TO OKADA! Hurt Fall turned into a small package for 2! GODDAMN DROPKICK BY OKADA! COMPLETE SHOT HITS FOR 2! RAINMAKER ENDS IT!
Swerve chats with Renee and gets a massive SWERVE'S HOUSE chant. TREVOR interrupts him and calls out STEPHON. This is fantastic - whenever they wrestle, it's gonna rule. The New York Minute hypes up Bowens vs Jericho on Rampage. Rookie Hard Rock Toni Storm is here to face Taya! Toni unloads forearms before Toni goes for Storm Zero but it's blocked before hitting and winning it. MJF vs. Cole recap. Hangman swears that he'll win it on Saturday and CD tells him that he's been in the same boat because he's alone now and they were both AEW before AEW was a thing and he's a friend if he needs one.
Fletcher vs. Garcia is up to close the show. Front choke by DG results in a backdrop and a skin the cat! APRON FRONT CHOKE INTO AN APRON BRAINBUSTER BY FLETCHER! DANNY SLUGS AWAY ON FLETCHER and beats the fuck out of him with overhand Wahoo chops! DRAGON TAMER IS ON! Fletcher tombstone turned into a jackknife cradle for 2! HELLUVA KICK BY FLETCHER! AVALANCHE BRAINBUSTER ENDS IT! Ricochet vs. Okada is in the semis and Ospreay faces KYLE FLETCHER! Ospreay staredown time!
Mox cuts a promo on having the odds against him on Saturday but he accepts his fate. Mox says he's not about Instagram or trophies - he does what he wants because he knows who he is and what he is. HE IS THE KING AND THE ONLY KING IN AEW!
