AEW partnered with Agent00 for the pre-show and dark matches were kinda visible - Borden won a tag and Mistico and Brody won as well. He was fantastic and so much better than either TNA or WWE pre-show guys - and not even being a big fan, either. Kenny talks about doing his best work when he had his back against the wall - and he's got Nakazawa with him and if it's it, that's who he wants with him and also it's 102 degrees in that ring and Kenny wants to main event ALL IN.
Ciampa vs. Jericho starts with Ciampa being a fucking idiot AGAIN and waits for Jericho at the entrance way and gets jumped and they do goofy bullshit on the beach set, which Jericho loves doing that. Ciampa is sliced up ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BUTTOCKS according to Taz, who ranted about deck chairs earlier and hey, they sliced him up here. Apron DVD by Ciampa and he kisses a bald fan BECAUSE BALD IS BEAUTIFUL, ASSCLOWN! AIR RAID CRASH OFF THE SECOND ROPE BY CIAMPA GETS 2! Jericho gets a brainbuster for 2. POCKET SAND and the knee gets the win for Ciampa!
Ciampa gets another power drill and we get a ST. PETE CLEARWATER ad from Excalibur. Brawling Birds beat up dudes in a bar in ST. PETE CLEARWATER! Ospreay chats with Renee and "bullshit" gets muted on MyAEW and MJF mocks him. Fletcher vs. Takeshita is up with Fletcher having a custom mask made for it! Don and Archer are out for Fletcher.
Tie-up and strikes commence before a chop against the post misses for Takeshita and they're already just caked in sweat. Hammerlock apron back suplex hits and the arm is hurt for Takeshita! APRON CRADLE TOMBSTONE BY TAKESHITA! Fletcher gets a Michonoku driver off a knee counter! LAST RIDE BY TAKESHITA! Helluva hits thanks to Don, but Takeshita gets the falcon arrow BUT IT ONLY GETS 2.9 THANKS TO THE FOOT ON THE ROPES! SHEER DROP GETS 2.9 AND THE CORNER BOOT HITS THE TO NECK! BUCKLE BRAINBUSTER WINS IT! NEW CHAMP! Between Agent00 and this match, it seems like there's a deal in place with Twitch.
Mick interviews Fletcher and says Takeshita was riding his coattails! Don Callis scolding Mick for stealing the attention from young talent is high comedy. Don points out that they've got the International, National, and TNT Champs and Knight talks shit about Fletcher and says he wants the world title. Fletcher is just caked in sweat here. Jesus. Speaking of which, Andrade comes out here in 17 layers and will face Doyle to get a shot and presumably win the National Title - which makes sense given his booking all over the world. Fun brawl backstage with Darby using an exploding skateboard.
Ospreay and Mox destroy the Workhorsemen in a match that went way too long. WHY IS ANTHONY HENRY PUTTING WILL OSPREAY IN A CHINLOCK!? Moxley working with JD is fun at least. Elbow suicida! JD overhands him and he goes out to Marina to get slapped and hyped up more! Thekla is out to do commentary and Mercedes is out on the lifeguard tower. Maya and Athena are out to determine a better spot in the casino gauntlet. Oh it's a casino gauntlet. Minia is out and dominates a bit and then Rina is out! Skye and Julia use weapons and Julia has new gear. AND THEY BEAT UP SECURITY GUYS! ATTACK JUSTIN ROBERTS MORE!
Rosa attacks Athena! Thekla "the ring is really filling up with dumb bitches!" O FACE TO ROSA GETS 2 WHEN MINA SAVES! O FACE TO MINA BUT EVERYONE BREAKS IT UP! YAY WILLOW! Doctor Bomb on Julia wins it! She gets the shot at Thekla in Montreal! THEKLA SPEAR TO WILLOW! Divine Dominion attacks the Sisters of Sin! Mercedes is bankrolling them and that's a nice development.
BATTLE CRY hits and it's time for the World title! MJF is in Bigelow gear, while Omega is in ALL IN main event/Ibushi gear. MJF avoids a V trigger to start! OWA BUT MJF GOUGES THE EYE! Walk and brawl before OMEGA MOONSAULTS OFF THE LIFEGUARD CHAIR! Cross-legged fisherman neckbreaker hits! MJF piledriver gets 2!
MJF messes with the announce table and THE V TRIGGER SENDS HIM OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TABLE! APRON OWA BUT NO! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE on the floor but MJF gets the knees up! Omega avoids the Heat Seeker and MJF's knee goes out. V TRIGGER! OWA BUT MJF PUNCHES OUT BUT EATS CROYT'S WRATH! CORNER V TRIGGER! AVALNCHE OWA BUT NO IT'S A POISON RANA AND THE HEAT SEEKER HITS FOR 2.9! Ospreay prevents the ring usage but it opens the door to a low blow and BELT SHOT FOR 1!
Omega uses MJF as a speedbag! ROPE V TRIGGERS! THIRD ONE RIGHT TO THE JAW! ONE WINGED ANGEL WINS IT! What a night and what a match!
