[HOUR ONE]
-After the Dynamite opening, they cut to the crowd chanting “AEW!” in the arena as Excalibur introduced the show. The crowd popped when the Jon Moxley vs. Komander graphic was shown.
-A video package aired on Redemption happenings with Will Ospreay, The Death Riders, and Kenny Omega. It showed Ospreay attacking Mox after Mox asked him to use the plastic bag against him. Omega looked at the plastic bag, shook Ospreay’s hand, but then attacked him from behind. They showed footage of the Death Riders watching backstage as this was happening, with Mox expressing he hoped that Ospreay would attack Omega. “Will, get him before he gets you!” said Mox. Then they showed Mox’s frustration when Omega attacked Ospreay. Omega shoved the plastic bag in Ospreay’s face, indicating that’s the reason he was attacking him. Mox said it’s not over yet. He said Ospreay might be the best wrestler in the world with nothing to lose and he’s now on death ground.
-They went to Renee Paquette outside the arena. She said she wanted to talk to Ospreay. He walked past her and confronted The Death Riders, who were waiting for him. (I see Danny Garcia wasn’t suspended for knocking cell phones out of the hands of fans on his back to the back at the end of Redemption.) When Garcia approached Ospreay, Ospreay back elbowed him to the ground. Mox asked, “Are you sure you want to do that?” Ospreay said, “You don’t get to pull the trigger for me. I’m out.” He shoved the Death Riders patch back at him. Mox said: “Is that so? It looks like you’ve got it all figured out, then.”Ospreay walked between the Death Riders.
Renee trotted up to get a comment when “Hangman” Adam Page showed up. He told Ospreay he knows what it feels like to be in his shoes. He said he is going to stick his nose in his business. He said if he needed anything, let him know. Ospreay said he can’t trust anyone including him. He said while he appreciates it, he’s going to do this on his own. As he tried to talk away, Hangman stopped him. He said he’s one of the best he’s ever been in the ring with. He told him he knows the bell is going to ring and he’s going to be the best he’s ever been at Wembley. “You got this,” Hangman said. “I mean it, you’ve got it.” Ospreay thanked him and walked away.
(1) ANDRADE EL IDOLO vs. NICK WAYNE vs. JACK PERRY – National Title match
The bell rang 12 minutes into the hour. When Perry bulldogged Wayne at ringside, Andrade leaped over the top rope onto Perry. Andrade then did a selfie with a woman at ringside. Taz said he had to stay focused on defnding his title. Of course, Wayne recovered during that time and gave him a flip over cutter. He sold a knee injury upon landing. Perry then rolled him into the ring and scored a one count. Wayne raked Perry’s eyes. The ref scolded him. Perry chopped him. Andrade returend and clotheslined both perry and Wayne, then hit a flying forearm. He kipped up. Excalibur announced as Casino Gauntlet Battle Royal for a guaranteed AEW World Title match will take place at All In.
Andrade suplexed Perry three times. Wayne entered and gave Andrade a Spanish Fly after Andrade played to the crowd for several seconds. They cut to a double-box break at 4:00. [c/db]
Wayne dominated during the break. Andrade powerbombed Wayne out of the corner. He then slapped Perry in the chest on the top turnbuckle. Perry leaped off the top rope and head scissored Andrade to ringside. Wayne then landed a sunset bomb over the top rope to the floor. Fans chanted, “Holy shit!”
Nick splashed Andrade on his back and then took him down with a Prodigy Plex for a near fall, with Perry breaking up the cover at two. A fan in the front row held up a sign that said, “Am I supposed to want to cheer Jack Perry.” He turned the sign over and it said, “I’m just a small down bird lawyer.” Perry and Wayne exchanged strikes mid-ring. Andrade entered and slapped both fo them in the chest and then clotheslined them both. They both flip-bumped out of the clotheslines. All three were down and slow to get up.
