[PRE-SHOW]
(A) MAX CASTER & ANTHONY BOWENS vs. JUICE ROBINSON & BIG BILL vs. BRYAN KEITH & BIG BILL vs. THE OUTRUNNERS (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) – Four-way for $200,000
WINNERS: Robinson & Gunn when Robinson rolled up Bowens for a three count in 8:00.
(B) BIG BOOM A.J. & Q.T. MARSHALL (w/The Rizzler, Big Justice) vs. RPG VICE (Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero)
WINNERS: Big Boom & Marshall.
(C) EDDIE KINGSTON & HOOK vs. THE WORK HORSEMEN (J.D. Drake & Anthony Henry)
WINNERS: Kingston & Hook in 2:00.
(D) KAZUCHIKA OKADA & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & HECHICERO vs. EL SKY TEAM (Miostico & Mascara Dorada & Neon w/Alex Abrahantes) – CMLL TRIOS TITLES
This match started in the pre-show and then carried over into the actual PPV.
[MAIN PPV]
They joined a match in progress from the pre-show, as they did last month. Okada came out late with the match in progress. Hechicero tried to play pleacemaker with Takeshita and Okada. Okada gave Takeshita a middle finger. The announcers noted that Mistico was attacked and injured before the match. He came out and rejoined the match. Okada and Takeshita weren’t able to work together. Okada, perhaps insincerely, begged for forgiveness afterward. The announcers said their inability to get along cost them another chance to win a title.
WINNERS: El Sky Team to retain the CMLL Trios Titles.
(1) PAC vs. DARBY ALLIN
Pac came out first. An entrance video for Darby included him in a hospital bed wrapped head to toe in bandages watching clips of him getting set on fire on an old tube TV. He got up and smashed the TV screen with a baseball bat. He then made his entrance through the crowd as fans chanted “Darby! Darby!”
The bell rang 18 minutes into the hour. The announcers touted Darby’s amateur wrestling skills and noted he isn’t just a daredevil. Darby took Pac down with an armbar. Nigel McGuinness compared his armdrags to Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat’s. Darby dropkicked Pac to the floor.
Darby settled into a side headlock back in the ring. Darby was bandaged heavily on his right arm, ribs, and upper right back area. Darby shifted into a half Scorpion Death Lock.
They battled on the ring apron at 6:00. Pac pressed Darby above his head and threw him onto the floor. Excalibur said Darby is ten days removed from suffering second-degree burns in Blood & Guts. Pac rubbed aggressively against Darby’s burns on his arm and then raked his back. Fans chanted, “You sick f—!”
A few minutes later, Darby leaped off the topr ope and dropkicked Pac off of a folding chair at ringside. Excalibur drew attention to Darby’s hard landing, also. Back in the ring, Darby collided with Pac with a lariat and both went down and were slow to get up. Excalibur said Pac’s speed worked against him so he didn’t have time to adjust to the lariat Darby threw at him.
Pac got up and took Darby down with a hard charging lariat for a near fall at 15:00. Pac then applied his Brutalizer. Darby draped his boot over the bottom rope. Fans chanted, “This is awesome!” When Pac went for his top rope Black Arrow, Darby moved and then applied a Scorpion Deathlock. Pac desperately waved for help. Wheeler Yuta ran out. With the ref distracted, Pac hit Yuta with the bat Darby brought to the ring with him. Pac made the cover and scored a three count.
WINNER: Pac in 17:00.
(Keller’s Analysis: The match was remarkable early in that it was all mat holds and traditional wrestling exchanges you might’ve seen in 1970s territory house shows. It picked up and ended up in totality being a good match with the right level of intensity and pacing for an opener. I wasn’t surprised at all Pac cheated to win once he felt he was in jeopardy of losing clean to Darby, given his promo to set up the match by vowing to not use weapons because he said Darby couldn’t beat him without them.
(2) TONI STORM & MINA SHIRAKAWA vs. MARINA SHAFIR & MEGAN BAYNE (w/Penelope Ford) vs. JULIA HART & SKYE BLUE vs. WILLOW NIGHTINGALE & HARLEY CAMERON – Winning Team Can Pick Stipluation in AEW Women’s Tag Team Tournament semi-final match
As usual in a match like this, there’s so many wrestlers pairing off, it doesn’t really develop a story as it’s mostly just brief exchanges of moves and then tags in and out. When Willow tagged in, she got a nice hometown pop. When Shafir put Shirakawa in Mother’s Milk, Storm broke it up.
Eventually, Willow landed a running flip dive onto a crowd at ringside. Back in the ring, Storm pinned Cameron with an inside cradle.
WINNERS: Storm & Shirakawa in 13:00.
(Keller’s Analysis: This was fine. It was an excuse to get a lot of women wrestlers on the PPV more than anything, I think, and especially an excuse to get Storm on the PPV.)
(3) BRODIDO (Brody King & Bandido) vs. FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood)
The bell rang 2 minutes into the second hour. Brody chopped away at FTR at ringside a couple minutes in, then tagged on Bandido. Bandido bodyslammed Brody onto Dax. Dax rolled to the floor. Brody and Bandido teased doing the Macarena, but instead got back to business. Bandido flip dove at FTR at ringside, but FTR caught him and slammed him face-first onto the announce desk. FTR then got in sustained offense on Bandido.
When Brody tagged in, he gave Cash a Death Valley Driver onto Dax in the corner. He then hit both with a cannonball. Brody landed a big dive at ringside. Back in the ring, FTR took over and scored a near fall after a Power & Glory. Bandido ducked their next move and pressed Cash above his head. He then tossed Cash at Dax at ringside. He followed with a top rope crossbody press onto Cash and Dax.
FTR took over and scored a near fall after a Shatter Machine. Brody tackled Cash at ringside, and then Bandido and Brody landed Shatter Machine on Dax for a near fall at 17:00. Cash yanked Bandido by his legs crotch-first into the ringpost. Nigel made the obligatory comment about Bandido not being able to deliver grandkids to his parents.
Bandido moonsaulted onto Cash for a near fall. Brody put Dax in a sleeper on the ring apron. Cash put Brody in a sleeper, so Brody lost his grip on Dax. Cash and Dax gave Brody a spike piledriver on the ring apron. Bandido went for a move against FTR in the ring, but FTR blocked it and slammed him and scored a two count.
FTR gave Bandido a stuff piledriver for a believable near fall. Fans stood and applauded as FTR expressed frustration. FTR lifted Bandido. Bandido gave them double middle fingers. FTR then gave him Shatter Machine again for the three count.
WINNERS: FTR in 21:00 to capture the AEW World Tag Team Titles.
(Keller’s Analysis: Really good tag match, with FTR doing their signature double-team moves and then Brody and Bandido using their contrasting styles to keep FTR off balance. I figured this show had a chance to hit the reset button with a few acts and titles, and this elevated FTR to the top of the tag division, but certainly Brodido have earned a rematch with their reign overall and this performance tonight. If the Young Bucks turn babyface, another Bucks-FTR showdown could happen in 2026 for the tag titles.)
Announcers: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Bryan Danielson
(4) CASINO GAUNTLET MATCH – Winner Becomes First-Ever AEW National Champion
Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin started against each other. They casually locked up. The announcers said the clock seemed to count down quickly and Ricochet came out as the third official entrant. He complained that they weren’t being more aggressive. GOA attacked Shelton and Bobby from behind. Ricochet then bashed Lashely in the head with a mic. GOA continued to attacked Shelton and Bobby. (They’ve made a mockery of this entire concept already.) MVP got beat up, too, and he was helped to the back.
Claudio Castagnoli made his entrance as the fourth entrant. He came through the crowd. Ricochet waited for him. When Ricochet leaped at Claudio at ringside, Claudio caught him mid-air with a European uppercut. He then pressed Ricochet and threw him into the ring. Ricochet made a comeback and knocked Claudio to the floor.
Daniel Garcia came out fifth through the crowd. They showed Claudio smiling at ringside as Garcia arrived, giving the Death Riders essentially a two-on-one advantage with Shelton and Bobby still selling the GOA beatdown.
Orange Cassidy came out sixth. Wheeler Yuta came out seventh. Schiavone said Wheeler took his time getting the ring and could lose his chance to win the National Title. Danielson said he was surprised he didn’t sprint to the ring. Cassidy casually waited for Yuta. Claudio and Garcia jumped Cassidy. Yuta slapped Cassidy hard as Claudio held him. Garcia mocked him with soft slo-mo kicks.
Kevin Knight entered eighth. Claudio caught him leaping off the top rope and tried to toss him over the top, but Knight head scissored him over onto teh ring apron. Claudio and Yuta stomped away at Knight in the ring as the fans counted down the clock.
Roderick Strong came out ninth. Strong cleared the ring except for Ricochet and scored a near fall on him. Mark Davis then entered tenth. Next “Speedball” Mike Bailey came out 11th. Knight and Speedball cleared the ring. Knight went from slapping hands with Bailey to giving him a schoolboy for a two count. They went at each other with some moves and counters. Garcia kicked Speedball and then applied his Dragon Slayer as fans counted down the clock.
Matt Menard then came out 12th. Menard yelled “What? What? What?” at Garcia and then went into rapid-fire punches. Garcia bailed out to ringside. Menard went after him. Garcia retreated through the crowd. A wide angle showed a bunch of wrestlers just hanging out at ringside, selling a beating, not trying to win the match despite the sudden death aspect.
Finally, Shelton and Bobby re-entered. They fought Davis and Claudio. Ricochet entered and squared off with Shelton and Bobby. He got scared and tried to leave. Bobby tossed him across the ring and then Shelton did the same in the other direction. Bobby slammed Ricochet uranage style. Davis and Claudio entered next. Cassidy joined in the right. Shelton clotheslined Davis and both tumbled over the top rope to ringside. Bobby charged at Claudio at ringside, but Claudio avoided him.
Knight broke up a cover Yuta had when he was stealing a pin. Ricochet then gave Knight a Spirit Gun for the win. Excalibur said they will never know for certain how many other wrestlers were lined up to enter the match.
WINNER: Ricochet in 22:00.
(Keller’s Analysis: Why should Ricochet be taken seriously when he was destroyed in three minutes by Lashley on Dynamite? That match was so ridiculous and a setback for Ricochet’s credibility, made even worse by the fact that he’s now become an incredibly weak first National Champion. The execution of this match made me think the match concept should be retired. The fans were reasonably into it, even if almost nothing about it stands up to any scrutiny.)
(5) KYLE O’REILLY vs. JON MOXLEY – No Holds Barred
O’Reilly tackled Mox before the bell and the ref rewarded him by immediately calling for the bell. The bell rang 56 minutes into the second hour. At 5:00, Mox jabbed O’Reilly with a fork in the forehead over and over. O’Reilly came up heavily bleeding.
Mox dominated for a while afterward with a grinding mat attack. Mox twisted the fork against O’Reilly’s nipple. O’Reilly took over for a while. He applied a standing ankelock. Mox escaped with some up-kicks and then pulled O’Reilly into a triangle choke attempt. O’Reilly shifted into a head scissors and then stabbed Mox in the forehead several times with the fork. They zoomed in on blood streaming from Mox’s forehead.
O’Reilly used a chain to add to a standing guilotine at 15:00. O’Reilly suplexed him with the chair and both were down and slow to get up. A soft “This is awesome!” chant didn’t get much steam behind it despite going on for 20 seconds from a small group.
After more fork violence, Mox put O’Reilly’s arm in a chair and stomped on it. They went back into some mat exchanges with countermoves. O’Reilly ended up with a standing anklelock. He then wrapped a chain around Mox’s ankle for supposedly extra pain. Mox struggled to endure the pain and tapped. Danielson wondered if O’Reilly had a broken arm.
WINNER: O’Reilly in 20:00.
-Mox attacked O’Reilly afterward as the medics were checking on O’Reilly. Fans pelted Mox with a chant of “You tapped out!” Claudio, Yuta, Garcia, Pac, and Shafir joined Mox at ringside. Cassidy and Strong helped O’Reilly out of the ring.
(Keller’s Analysis: This is an interesting story with Moxley, and credit to Mox for being willing to do this when he certainly has the leverage to a diva and a mark for himself and steer away from any storyline that involves him tapping out twice to the same opponent in ten days, especially a mid-carder like O’Reilly. The commentators did note early in the match that O’Reilly had some health issues and when he came back, he didn’t regain his footing for a while. The match itself was pretty compelling with the juxtaposition of gore and violence with mat wrestling exchanges and countermoves.)
(6) KYLE FLETCHER (w/Don Callis) vs. MARK BRISCOE – TNT Title match
A video introduction for Briscoe including him talking about the impact the death of his brother Jay had on him. He talked about his family at home and his family in AEW, the Conglomeration. Don Callis joined in on commentary. They took it to ringside a couple minutes into the match and delivered big moves on chairs, the steps, and a ladder. Briscoe leaped over the top rope and aimed for Fletcher on a ladder leaning on a chair, but Fletcher moved and Briscoe crashed through the ladder. Fletcher gloated and flexed toward the fans.
Fletcher threw a ladder and a chair into the ring. Briscoe was bleeding from the forehead. Fletcher slammed him onto the ladder in the ring. Callis said when Fletcher beats Briscoe, he will own him professionally. He said there are worse fates. When Schiavone asked Callis what use Briscoe will be if he can’t stand, Callis said maybe he could be his driver. Danielson said you wouldn’t want Briscoe to be your driver because he’s seen him drive. (Consider how Jay Briscoe died, they probably shouldn’t have gone this direction with the conversation.)
Fletcher beat up Briscoe at ringside. When Briscoe took over, he set up a dive off the top rope. Callis distracted Briscoe long enough for Fletcher to stand and shove Briscoe off the top rope through a table below. Fletcher then slid a folded table into the ring. He leaned it in a corner and then gave Briscoe a running boot to the face in the opposite corner. Briscoe countered Fletcher, but Fletcher countered back on a suplex attempt. Briscoe landed an enzuigiri and then set up a double-underhook Jay Driller. Fletcher countered and leaped with Briscoe on his shoulders into the table in the corner. He followed with a leaping powerbomb for a two count.
Fletcher poured thumb tacks on the mat. He shoved some in Briscoe’s mouth and kicked him in the face. Briscoe came back and slammed Fletcher onto the tacks, some of which stuck in the skin on his back. Briscoe then pulled a table out from under the ring that had barbed wire taped to the surface. Briscoe also pulled a tall ladder out from under the ring and slid it into the ring.
Briscoe leaped off the ring apron and took Fletcher through six chairs lined up in two rows with a twisting neckbreaker. Briscoe slipped a bit as he launched but still landed the move. Briscoe then climbed to the top of the ladder. Danielson said he’s known Briscoe for 23 years and he loves him and he asked him not to do anything stupid. “This might be just too much,” he said. Fletcher met him on the ladder. Briscoe leaped off the very top of the ladder and elbowdropped him through a table below for a near fall. A “This is awesome!” chant broke out.
Fletcher jabbed Briscoe in the forehead and eye area with a screwdriver and then licked the top of the screwdriver seductively. Fletcher stabbed the screwdriver toward Briscoe, but Briscoe moved and the screwdriver poked into the turnbuckle pad. Briscoe then took over. He climbed to the top rope , but Fletcher shoved the ref into Briscoe to knock him off balance. Fletcher stuck the screwdriver up through the turnbuckle and was about to drop Briscoe onto it, but Briscoe blocked it. When Briscoe lifted Fletcher, Fletcher stabbed Briscoe in the head with the screwdriver. He then charged at him and stabbed at him again. He followed with a brainbuster suplex onto the tacks for a believable near fall.
Fletcher set up a table in the corner with barbed wire on it. Fletcher superoplexed Briscoe, but Briscoe slipped free and then shoved Fletcher and then delivered a Razor’s Edge onto the barbed wire table. He followed with a Jay Driller for a three count.
WINNER: Briscoe in 25:00 to capture the TNT Title.
(Keller’s Analysis: Really good match, but the back-to-back matches with so much violence and blood was too much. I’m surprised at Briscoe’s win, but I’m okay with it because it does send a message that AEW is going to try to elevate some wrestlers from within despite how they were positioned prior.)
(7) THE YOUNG BUCKS (Matt & Nick Jackson) & JOSH ALEXANDER vs. THE JURASSIC EXPRESS (Jack Perry & Luchasaurus) & KENNY OMEGA – $1 million dollar to the winner
The bell rang at the top of the fourth hour. Nick opened against Perry with dazzling chain sequences. They went nose-to-nose after a stalemate. They each tagged out to Matt and Luchasaurus. Kenny and Josh tagged in and battled next. Omega landed a leaping dive to ringside onto the Bucks and Josh. The announcers commented on Omega favoring his knee, advising him to tag out. He did to Perry. Josh slammed Perry onto the ring apron when he leaped to the floor.
Nick leaped toward Luchasaurus, but it didn’t go as planned. The announcers gasped and drew attention to it. They seemed fine. Matt battled Perry in the ring next. Josh settled into a chinlock mid-ring on Perry at 8:00.
More back and forth action. Kenny battled Josh one-on-one. Then everyone else got involved. Josh then applied a standing anklelock on Alexander. The Bucks gave Kenny the BTE Trigger. Josh cinched on the anklelock on the mat as Kenny cried out in pain. Luchasaurus blocked a Bucks double-team move. More chaos ensued. Luchasaurus and Perry landed Countdown to extinction. Josh interrupted the count at 18:00.
The Bucks stereo superkicked Perry out of mid-air and then stereo superkicked Luchasaurus and followed with stereo superkicks on Josh. Kenny gave Josh a One-Winged Angel at ringside. Perry rolled up Matt meanwhile for a near fall in the ring. The Bucks then gave Perry a BTE Trigger for the win.
WINNERS: Young Bucks & Alexander in 19:00 to win $1 million dollars.
-Afterward, Callis said they are $1 million richer, but even better, they’re now part of the family. He said they should go celebrate. The Bucks left with Callis and three bags of cash. The Callis family then attacked Kenny and tried to break his leg. Callis tried to shrug it off from the stage, but the Bucks didn’t like it. Schiavone said they looked conflicted. Callis led them away with the bags. Fans chanted, “You sold out!” Nick and Matt threw down the bags of money and ran to the ring and superkicked the Callis Family members. The announcers framed this as a choice between money or friendship. (So they lose the money from the match they just won?) The Bucks shook hands with Perry and Luchasaurus. Kenny stood and eyed The Bucks. The fans chanted, “Hug it out!” Kenny slapped their hands. The Bucks then hugged him. Schiavone said they were witnessing a great moment. Callis yelled from the stage that he has their money. Excalibur said the Bucks were leaving with something even more valuable.
(Keller’s Analysis: The story beats ultimately got the crowd to pop, but the idea that the Bucks were going to leave with Callis went against all the facial expressions and body language of the Bucks in recent weeks when Callis pitched them. It also felt odd that they made it seem like if the Bucks didn’t leave the stage with Callis, they’d give up their share of the money they just won in the six-man tag match. The match was exactly what you’d expect overall.)
(8) KRIS STATLANDER vs. MERCEDES MONE – AEW World Title match
Mercedes made her entrance past shiftless men on the stage. Statlander made her entrance by bursting out of a space capsule that looked like it came from a Twilight Zone museum. The bell rang 30 minutes into the fourth hour. Statlander took early offense until Mercedes avoided a top rope 450 splash. Statlander clutched her left forearm. Danielson said that could be a bad sign.
Mercedes then grounded Statlander with variations of armbars. The crowd got pretty quiet. Mercedes eventually moved into doing 14 unreleased vertical suplexes, one for each of her titles and the one she wanted to win tonight. Some fans stood and applauded, but otherwise were pretty quiet. Mercedes went for a top rope frog splash, but Statlander caught her with an up-kick. Both were down and slow to get up.
Statlander took over for the next few minutes. She landed a discus for a near fall, which Mercedes turned into an armlock at 16:00. Statlander came back with a belly-to-belly for a two count and then shifted into a Statement Maker mid-ring. Statlander hoisted Mercedes onto her shoulders and carried her over to the corner. She stood on the second rope and leaped off with a rib-breaker. Both were down and slow to get up. “Shades of the great Dean Malenko,” said Schiavone.
After more countermoves, Statlander landed a package piledriver for a near fall; Mercedes grabbed the bottom rope to force the break. Mercedes made a comeback and scored a near fall. She then gathered herself. They stood and did more moves and countermoves. Stat then finally scored the win after her Staturday Night Fever.
Excalibur said it was the first-ever win by Stat over Mercedes and it was only Mercedes’s second pinfall loss in AEW. He said Statlander was the better woman tonight.
WINNER: Statlander in 23:00 to retain the AEW Women’s Title.
(Keller’s Analysis: This was needlessly long, especially for its place on the card. The lack of passionate support for Statlander, the competing admiration for Mercedes despite her heel character, and the prior ultra-violent action that all made it nearly impossible to expect the crowd to be all that into it. This is a vote of support for Statlander, but I don’t think she’s got the collective traits of a top star.)
-Backstage, Alicia Atout interviewed Callis, Hechicero, Takeshita, and Okada backstage. Callis said it has gone well since Hechicero is in charge of all the money. He then tried to repair the tension between Okada and Takeshita. Takeshita announced he, like Okada, will be in the Continental Classic. Callis said the more members of the Callis Family in that tournament, the better. Fletcher barged in and asked where they were earlier. He said he will also be in the Continental Classic. Okada said if Fletcher wins, it will be Takeshita’s fault.
-They went to Excalibur, Schiavone, and Danielson at ringside.
(9) “HANGMAN” ADAM PAGE vs. SAMOA JOE – Cage match for the AEW World Title
Joe came out first followed by Hangman. Justin Roberts did formal ring introductions from inside the cage. The bell rang 4 minutes into the hour. Joe was bleeding from the forehead early. Joe stomped away at Hangman in the corner. Hangman bashed Joe over and over with his boot seconds later. Hangman ended up bleeding five minutes in. Joe landed a snap powerslam for a two count. They stood and exchanged strikes.
Hangman landed on his feet on a Joe released back suplex attempt. Fans chanted “Cowboy Shit!” Hangman put Joe in a sleeper. Joe’s face was just completely covered in his blood at this point.
At 11:00, Katsuyori Shibata came to ringside and created a distraction at ringside. The ref told him to get down as he began climbing the cage. Eddie Kingston came out and yanked Shibata down by his ankle. They punched each other. During that, the ref got knocked into the cage. Hangman landed a Dead Eye. The fans counted to ten or so, but the ref was down. Hobbs broke the chain with his own strength and brought the AEW Title belt into the ring. Hangman kicked him and threw him into the cage. Joe recovered and put Hangman in the Coquina Clutch. Hangman knocked Joe into an exposed turnbuckle and landed a Buckshot Lariat. The ref was still down. Hook ran in and tried to wake up the referee. Hook then eyed the belt and lifted it and hit Hangman with it. “You son of a bitch!” yelled Excalibur. He took off his orange jacket and it said “The Opps.” Danielson said he was with The Opps all along. “What did we just witness?” asked Excalibur. Joe then gave Hangman a Muscle Buster to win.
WINNER: Samoa Joe in 15:00 to capture the AEW World Title.
(Keller’s Analysis: Well, that was an unexpected title change. The Hook deception doesn’t really make any sense because it didn’t give him any advantage. He could’ve run into the cage as a heel who was already with The Opps, so what was the point? Joe becoming champ again is an interesting move because it obviously should extend the Hangman-Joe feud to another big event. The cage match as a concept that assures wrestlers settling their score without outside interference has long been compromised, but this was a pretty ridiculous example of reinforcing that.)
-As Joe celebrated, the lights went out. When they came back on, nothing happened. Then they went out again and then the video wall showed a burning house. Prince Nana stood on the stage with a coffee drink. Swerve Strickland then came out to a Swerve theme song. Hangman was still out on his back behind Joe. Joe pointed down at Hangman. When Swerve’s music stopped, fans chanted, “Holy shit!” Swerve walked between Joe’s Dojo security force and then hit one of them. They attacked him, but he easily took out all of them. Joe left. Swerve gave a House Call to the final Opps Dojo guy. Hangman stood and clotheslined the Opps Dojo guy. The PPV then suddenly cut off before a proper closing message (at least for me).
(Keller’s Analysis: So is Hangman going to get a rematch or are they pivoting immediately to belt on Swerve’s waist? Swerve stared at Joe as he walked slowly to the ring.
