The labours of Jericho start the show off as Jericho has to beat Spears, who can use a chair and Jericho can't. Jericho has a smaller brace on his left elbow now and this is the first full-on match he's worked since busting up his elbow at Blood and Guts almost three months ago. A Spears chairshot compilation gets him over in SECONDS - tremendous usage of time there. Ross is hard to hear and MJF is as clear as day on commentary.
MJF points out that even if Jericho gets through his guys, his arm is still beat up. Spears posts Jericho's elbow and chairshots it! Axehandle off the top by Jericho and MJF says that the ref should've checked the elbow pad. Top rope rana after a series of punches by Jericho! Spears chairshot to the back leads to a Fantastics-level strut. Walls of Jericho locked on and he taps, but Tully distracts. Sammy prevents more from happening with Tully and a chair and C4 get 2.9! Spears wants a C4 with a chair brace, but Jericho avoids it and sends his head into a corner chair and ends it with a Judas Effect!
MJF tells him that he can't have anyone else come out after what Sammy did - and next week will be a no DQ match against NICK FUCKIN' GAGE! Ex talks about Gage being declared dead in a deathmatch and Tony hypes up Gage vs. Arquette. Unreal! Gallows vs. Kaz is up next. Miro says that there were TNT Champions before him - but none after! At Homecoming, God's favorite champion will take on anyone. Kaz gets a new theme and pyro display and he comes off like a big star here.
Kaz charges in early but Doc gets a throat thrust and big boot. Karl distracts and eats a legdrop before a baldo bomb gets the win for Doc. Wow, didn't see that finish. Magic Killer hits before Omega is out and talks shit before THE KING OF COWBOY SHIT comes down strolling with a drink in his hand. They go to beat him up, but THE DARK ORDER SAVES AND A BUCKSHOT HITS! Cage does WWE TV viewing with Dasha and Starks hypes up a celebration next week. Coffin match recap as Darby comes out to face Wheeler Yuta.
Yuta matrixes out of a cover and Darby crucifixes him down. Hikuleo is shown in the crowd. Octopus with an elbow to the ribs by Yuta. Yuta skinned the cat on the bottom rope and snap Germans Darby! Sting and OC GO AT IT WITH KICKS and the roll-over stunner leads to the Coffin drop and a win. Yuta lost the match, but looked fantastic and we got some great Sting-Orange stuff to. Tons of fun! Blade clocks OC with knucks!
Mox vs. Archer hype video with tons of NJPW clips. Nyla vs. Britt is up for the title. Britt is over as fuck as a babyface - and she's that as a heel, so cool. MEGASTAR pyro for Britt and she is just THE STAR of the division face or heel. Nyla dominates and gets the hanging knee for 2. Pair of curb stomps get 2 for Britt. Eddie spot with Vickie trying to bait the ref with a toss of the belt to Britt and a Beast Bomb gets 2. Britt trip takedowns into Lockjaw for the win!
Fight For the Fallen is next week and FTR faces PNP. Dax says that they came from poverty and he respects them as wrestlers, but not as men. We get some great stuff with Ortiz hyping up his mom as fighting slum lords so they could have a good place to live while Tully stands around in amazing suit. This was an all-time great promo...if it was given emphasis, but it was just amazing in a vacuum. Andrade's out and Chavo is his new manager - well, better him than Vickie. Chavo as his manager is...interesting. I don't mind seeing this play out, but Chavo has only really been a great promo in Lucha Underground, which benefitted from a lot of editing.
We get some awkward stuff with Andrade talking shit and Chavo says that none of their waists are shiny enough. Chavo keeps things on-track thank God after Andrade rambles and Fenix says that they're the face of latinos. Alex's PENTA SAYS bit is so much better than everything they've done with Andrade so far. This went on for ages before the ref corp broke it up and we see Christian and Jurassic Express battle the HFO earlier today. Cage wants a multi-man tag and they want to take out the HFO.
Blade's out to face OC, who slinks in behind him when Blade wants his hands raised. Blade fakes out a knee injury and jumps him, but eats a stundog! Gutwrench bomb on the top by Blade! Corkscrew DDT for 2 for OC. Blade shoves Kris in front of him on a dive and gets a big suplex before a corkscrew tombstone gets 2.9! Blade avoids beach break and gets a knee, but OC powers him up for it! Bunny tosses knux in and the Orange punch misses, but so does Blade's knuck shot and the Orange punch wins it! This was fun. ORANGE PUNCH WITH THE KNUCKS! Marvez chats with Jericho backstage and he says THE PAINMAKER is coming for Gage.
Hikuleo faces the IWGP US Champ next week and TK announces a new event next week. Dynamite Homecoming will feature Cody vs. Malakai Black! Mox is out and Archer is out with kendo sticks. Archer cannonball sentons him and Ex talks about Kevin Kelly running a poll with Mox as the underdog. Brawling through a hot crowd and Mox eats a fan that Archer throws at him. DEATH RIDER ON THE FLOOR and he gets up before GETTING A FORK TO THE FACE BY MOX! TNT allows "you sick fuck!" chants.
Mox avoids a ripcord Bossman slam, but gets it! CHOKESLAM TO MOX ON A CHAIR EDGE BRIDGE! Mox gets a king kong lariat and another Death Rider! HE'S UP AND MOX JUST FORKS HIM A TON! BARB WIRE BOARD TIME! BARB WIRE BOARDS ON TOP OF THE DOUBLE LADDER SETUP WE SAW IN NJPW! CHOKESLAM THROUGH THE BOARDS AND MOX IS DONE! Archer and Hilulao stand face to face for next week!
