Schiavone explained the rules of the Blood and Guts match on May 5th, 2021. Schiavone was about to flip a coin to determine which team would get the 1-man advantage throughout the match. Before Schiavone could do so, Shawn Spears slapped the coin to the mat and took the mike. He said The Pinnacle deserves the advantage because they were lured into the Blood and Guys match. He turned his attention to Sammy Guevara and told him Jericho was misleading him. Guevara took the mike and said he didn\u2019t believe Spears because Spears was a failure since joining AEW. He said Spears was also a failure where he used to work. Guevara said if the Pinnacle wanted the advantage, they could have it because Sammy would start the match and fight everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Cash Wheeler took the mike and said the current version of Santana and Ortiz wasn\u2019t going to cut it. He called them \u201cJericho lapdogs\u201d before Dax Harwood took the mike. He told Santana and Ortiz to say goodbye to their families, especially their children, before the match because they might not make it home. Ortiz calmed Santana down and said he knew what Wheeler and Harwood were trying to do. Santana asked FTR if they had ever been locked up because he and Ortiz had been. Santana threw the mike down and said he was going to let his fists do the talking next week.<\/p>\n<p>MJF took over and said \u201cthank you\u201d to Jericho. He said Jericho has been waiting to hear those two words from everyone since AEW started. MJF said without Jericho, there would be no AEW. He said Jericho brought the \u201clapsed fan\u201d back and then called The Inner Circle the \u201cbest group in all of pro-wrestling\u201d. He said he couldn\u2019t imagine the pressure Jericho felt because of how much Jericho meant to the company. MJF said every time Jericho goes to the ring, he looks exhausted and has bloodshot eyes. MJF concluded by saying after Blood and Guts, MJF was going to take Jericho\u2019s spot and would once again tell him \u201cthank you\u201d after he beat him.<\/p>\n<p>Jericho called MJF an entitled prick because he thought he deserved a spot in AEW. Jericho said he was once \u201ccurtain jerking\u201d in WCW at 25 years old, but that he was damn proud of it. He said he had also been headlining around the world, including Japan and Mexico, and earned respect while doing it. Jericho said MJF could take his spot if The Pinnacle won at Blood and Guts. Jericho touted the attributes of the members of The Inner Circle. He told MJF they would have to kill them to get them to surrender and lose the match. He concluded by saying if 1969 was the summer of love, 2021 was the summer of violence, and summer was going to start early.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: This was a tremendous segment, and possibly the best segment since AEW\u2019s inception. There was no comedy or silliness to speak of here. Each promo felt real and unrehearsed. The Pinnacle further established themselves as heels and The Inner Circle cemented themselves as babyfaces. As a wrestling fan, there isn\u2019t anything else you could ask for before a big match. While not every AEW feud can have this level of intensity, this should serve as the blueprint for how to make matches feel important and \u201cmust-see\u201d. Less comedy. More personal issues that result in hard-hitting, violent matches.<\/p>\n<p>Length of Feud: March 10th, 2021<\/p>\n<p><em>Forecast &amp; Prediction: The issue between Jericho and Guevara feels unsettled. The ending of the match could lead to a feud between a babyface Jericho and a heel Guevara. There isn\u2019t much The Inner Circle would gain from winning and carrying on as they have been. The Pinnacle is a new faction and needs to establish itself as a serious heel threat on the AEW roster.<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1036495605\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(2) JON MOXLEY &amp; EDDIE KINGSTON vs. THE BULLET CLUB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Developments: Eddie Kingston challenged Omega to a match but Omega refused and sent Michael Nakazawa to the ring. Kingston walked to the ring and said they needed to stop the \u201csports entertainment crap\u201d. Omega walked out on the stage with Callis. Omega said Kingston didn\u2019t deserve \u201cthe champ\u201d as Nakazawa attacked Kingston from behind. Kingston took control and knocked Nakazawa out with a back fist. Kingston put a chair around Nakazawa\u2019s ankle and said he was going to break it if Omega didn\u2019t come to the ring. Omega said Nakazawa knew what he signed up for. Omega called out Brandon Cutler. Moxley attacked Omega and threw him into the ring. Kingston put the chair around Omega\u2019s ankle. Callis interrupted Kingston and said ]he and Moxley would get whatever they wanted if they let Kenny go. Moxley said they wanted a tag match between Omega and Nakazawa next week. Callis agreed as Kingston and Moxley left the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: The tone of this feud continues to feel all over the place. If Moxley and Kingston were able to get whatever they wanted by force, why would they request a tag match? Why wouldn\u2019t one of them request a title match? It doesn\u2019t feel like AEW knows where this is going. They want to keep Moxley around the champion, but they don\u2019t want to give him the belt. I think Moxley\u2019s time would be better spent working with younger talent at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Length of Feud: April 7th, 2021<\/p>\n<p><em>Forecast &amp; Prediction: It doesn\u2019t matter who wins the tag match on May 5th, because the feud will likely carry on throughout the summer. We can\u2019t see Moxley vs. Omega again so soon, so what is the endgame? Keep the title on Omega until there is a new, red hot babyface to beat him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>CONCLUDED AND FORGOTTEN OR DORMANT FEUDS&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hangman Page vs. The Elite &#8211; Dormant<\/p>\n<p>Chris Jericho vs. Mike Tyson &#8211; Forgotten<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-201032958\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Cody vs. Jake Hager &#8211; Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Hikaru Shida vs. Penelope Ford &#8211; Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Jon Moxley vs. Brian Cage &#8211; Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Britt Baker vs. Tony Schiavone \u2013 Dormant<\/p>\n<p>Darby Allin vs. Brian Cage \u2013 Dormant<\/p>\n<p>Brodie Lee vs. Cody \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Jon Moxley vs. Lance Archer \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Jon Moxley vs. Eddie Kingston \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>The Young Bucks vs. FTR \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega (2) \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Hikaru Shida vs. Abadon \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Dustin Rhodes vs. The Dark Order \u2013 Forgotten<\/p>\n<p>Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>FTR vs. Jurassic Express \u2013 Dormant<\/p>\n<p>Chris Jericho &amp; MJF vs. The Young Bucks \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Cody &amp; Red Velvet vs. Shaq &amp; Jade \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Sting &amp; Darby Allin vs. Team Taz \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Matt Hardy vs. Hangman Page \u2013 Concluded<\/p>\n<p>Miro &amp; Kip Sabian vs. Orange Cassidy &amp; Chuck Taylor \u2013 Dormant<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/04\/30\/interview-highlights-matt-hardy-talks-mt-rushmore-of-pro-wrestling-brothers-wrestling-allin-in-aew-being-in-a-different-company-than-his-brother-jeff-w-video\/\">Interview highlights: Matt Hardy talks Mt.
