Taz said pro wrestlers want to keep competing &#8220;and you gotta keep wrestling&#8221; even with a big match coming up. They went to the announcers on camera briefly. Tony Schiavone touted Baltimore as &#8220;a great wrestling town.&#8221; A fan held up a sign saying the Canadian government apologizes for Don Callis. Fans chanted, &#8220;F&#8212; Don Callis! \/ F&#8212; Ice Too!&#8221; The bell rang 6 minutes into the hour. They cut to a double-box break when the heels cleared the ring at 3:00 and were gloating. [c\/db]<\/p>\n<p>Cage was in control of Osprey as they returned from the break. Henare tagged in and soon scored a two count on Cage. Cage came back and tagged in Archer. Henare countered a Black Out. Both were down and slow to get up. Ospreay tagged in and hit aflurrh of moves against all three opponents. Archer interrupted Ospreay&#8217;s cover on Cage. They went into a series of rapid-fire spots including dives to the floor. Ospreay then finished Romero with a Hidden Blade. Ospreay shook hands with fans at ringside.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Ospreay &amp; Hinare &amp; Akira in 10:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: This felt like filler, but it was solid action.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Renee Paquette interviewed Kazuchika Okada backstage about facing Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita at All In for the International Title. She said Fletcher was less than convinced when Callis sold this as a good thing to almost assure the title stays in the family. Okada said he will be happy for Fletcher if he retains his title and keeps it in the family, but he excited said if he wins the title, &#8220;I expect Kyle to be happy for me.&#8221; He said he would expect him to raise his hand in the center of the ring.<\/p>\n<p>-Schiavone stood mid-ring and introduced Fletcher. Excalibur said he heard Callis was vacationing on a beach in Greece. Fletcher said they in the midst of the greatest International Title reign of all time, and it doesn&#8217;t have to end anytime soon, especially not at Wembley Stadium. He said he agrees with Okada that family means everything. He said Callis has done so much for him and owes so much to him. He said he trusts him with all his heart and so he&#8217;s willing to go along with the plan. Fans chanted, &#8220;F&#8212; Don Callis! \/ F&#8212; Ice Too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher said he has to keep his word and have his back and make sure he retains his title. He said they share in common a hatred for Takeshita. He said he lost the G1 Tournament and sarcastically congratulated him. He said he thinks he&#8217;s the most selfish, narcissistic jerk he&#8217;s ever interacted with. Takeshita then came out to his music. When he entered the ring, they wildly swung at each other. They battled each other with moves and counter moves. Takeshita landed a poison rana and a power drive knee followed by a Raging Fire. He picked up the International Title belt as fans cheered and chanted for him.

Ospreay said he admired Omega&#8217;s work in New Japan. Omega said in a smug tone he liked to keep upon the &#8220;flavor of the week&#8221; wrestlers and he wasn&#8217;t that impressed by Ospreay, but he saw potential at first. He said he went from a skinny kid to the face of New Japan &#8220;and he filled my shoes in my absence.&#8221; He said New Japan needed him to return to sell tickets and sell PPVs. He said unfortunately for Will, his name alone didn&#8217;t do it, but his name does.<\/p>\n<p>Ospreay said Omega built the company off of the broken backs of Tanahashi and Naito and Okada. He said their versions of COVID were entirely different things for each other. Ospreay said he had to do 15 hours flights in COVID and was stuck in small hotel rooms while Omega had three hour drives. He said he had to wrestle in front of forced silence, which Omega couldn&#8217;t have ever handled. He said half the roster was starving at that time, but Omega wasn&#8217;t. He said he and the United Empire had to breathe live into New Japan. He told him not to throw attendance at him. He said Omega couldn&#8217;t have handled that.<\/p>\n<p>Omega said he did three hour drives, and their fans couldn&#8217;t attend, either. Omega asked if New Japan had allowed fans in the building, would they have been that loud for him.<\/p>\n<p>Renee asked about Omega joining the Don Callis Family. Omega talked about all the titles he won. He said felt Callis had his best interests in mind, but eventually he realized he didn&#8217;t. He said he could then become a cautionary tale for people like Will, whom he had grown to respect. He said Ospreay didn&#8217;t have to make the mistakes he made. Ospreay said Omega he still has scars from when he DDT&#8217;d him into the corner turnbuckle. Omega said Ospreay isn&#8217;t proud of his win because he didn&#8217;t use Callis in their match at the TokyoDome, but he used Callis for their match at Forbidden Door. Ospreay interjected that it keeps him up at night. He said everyone online said he needed Callis to win.<\/p>\n<p>Omega said the win was tainted. He said he forgives him now because he&#8217;s admitting he couldn&#8217;t have beat him without Callis and without a screwdriver. He said it feels like he&#8217;s beat him twice now, rather than the being 1-1. He said this match is just Ospreay desperately searching for a way to reach his level.<\/p>\n<p>Omega was irritated when Renee brought up his diverticulitis. Omega said he can&#8217;t train or eat the way he used to, but that forced him to adjust for the better. He said he uses his brain more than he used to. He asked Ospreay if he&#8217;s better off after his surgery to replace disks in his neck. Omega said he&#8217;s at the top of his game and better than ever, so what makes him believe he has a chance now. He said he has a chip on his shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Ospreay said Omega has never seen him as his equal. Omega asked if Ospreay really wanted him to return to his form or did he want him to suffer and be a weakened state because beating him at Wembley would be easier than beating MJF. Ospreay angrily said that was bullocks. He said he doesn&#8217;t deserve the title if he doesn&#8217;t beat the best version of Omega. He said it means so much to him and so many others. He said no Englishman has ever won a world title on home soil. He said he can&#8217;t crumble now and he has to be better than him, away from Don Callis and away from the Death Riders. He said it&#8217;s been a ten year chase to prove he&#8217;s better than him, and he&#8217;ll do it by himself with pride.<\/p>\n<p>Omega said last time he tried, he failed. He said he&#8217;ll fail again in front of his family and friends. He said even if Ospreay loses, his mom will still be proud of him, but he&#8217;s not sure if his son will be. Ospreay lunged toward Omega as they cut away.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: Omega&#8217;s smug arrogance feels a bit sudden and extreme and I don&#8217;t think they needed to go that far. That said, Ospreay and Omega were good here in terms of discussing their history and setting the emotional stakes for the All In match. I don&#8217;t think you needed to understand the context of everything regarding the COVID situations in New Japan compared to AEW to get a senes of there being tension over it. I would cut that section out, though, if only to tighten up the segment since I don&#8217;t think fans relate a ton to the lack of crowds for their matches during that time. The hook that fans can understand and invest in is the idea that Omega doesn&#8217;t respect Ospreay as his equal.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Taz said he respected Ospreay for keeping his composure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) KRIS STATLANDER vs. PERSEPHONE vs. AKIRA SHIDA vs. MAYA WORLD &#8211; Four-way for TBS Title<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bell rang 46 minutes into the hour. They cut a double-box break at 3:00 after non-stop action. [c\/db]<\/p>\n<p>After Statlander kipped up. Shida speared her. Maya then countered a Statlander set up for a Saturday Night Ferver with a victory for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Maya World in 10:00 to retain the TBS Title<\/p>\n<p>-A vignette aired with The Brawling Birds challenging Divine Dominion to come at them as hard as they can because they&#8217;ll have tens of thousands of drunken Brits calling for them to take their heads off.<\/p>\n<p>White made his entrance first. Then they showed The Death Riders backstage as Mox made his way through a back corridor where Marina Sharif slapped him to get him psyched up. The camera followed Mox to the ring.<\/p>\n<h3>[HOUR TWO]<\/h3>\n<p>-They cut backstage to Renee who was commenting on the Continental Cup. She pointed out Orange Cassidy and Kyle O&#8217;Reilly were standing near her, keeping a close eye on the match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) JAY WHITE vs. JON MOXLEY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Excalibur said Mox has never defeated White before, but White has defeated Moxley twice including in the G1 and Continental Classic. Taz said White is renting space in Moxley&#8217;s head. Schiavone said there is plenty of videotape that Mox can study. Taz asked if it was 1982 due to his use of the term &#8220;videotape.&#8221; (Tony should&#8217;ve given Taz a hard time for messing up the line &#8220;living in his head rent-free.&#8221;) The bell rang 2 minutes into the hour. After some back and forth action, they cut to a partial double-box break at 2:00. [c\/pdb]<\/p>\n<p>They battled at ringside during the break. They exchanged strikes mid-ring after the break. The announcers hyped Claudio Castagnoli vs. Eddie Kingston this Saturday on Collision. White was going to fling himself onto Mox at ringside, but Mox stepped away. Excalibur differentiated the rules of the Continental Cup compared to the Continental Classic. Schiavone acknowledged a &#8220;This is awesome!&#8221; chant.<\/p>\n<p>White tossed Mox into the corner and then scored a two count. They cut to another double-box break at 11:00.
