--Jay Lethal vs. Kyle O’Reilly vs. Orange Cassidy vs. Rey Fenix (AEW International Championship #1 Contender’s Match) >>> Rey Fenix wins by pinfall via small package on Jay Lethal
A new iteration of Best Friends perhaps?
Back from commercial, Willow Nightingale is interviewed backstage.
She faces facts and admits she lost and Mercedes Mone is the AEW TBS Championship, but they have a score to settle after the visual pin she got. She doesn’t trust Stokely as far as she can throw him, which is further than you’d think, but Kris Statlander betrayed her trust.
She always says she’s driven by her smile, but after being stabbed in the back you don’t know how dangerous she can be. Orange Cassidy rolls up with a lazy fist bump by way of thanks.
If they're doing this, Tony Khan has almost got to pull the trigger on a heel women's stable centered around Kris Statlander w/that raggedy bitch Stokely Hathaway managing a/la J.J. Dillon in his position w/the Four Horsemen.
--Brian Cage vs. Mark Briscoe (AEW TNT Championship Qualifying Match) >>> Jay Briscoe wins by pinfall via Froggy Bow over Brian Cage
Another couple promos...
Back from commercial, the Learning Tree roll up on 2.0 backstage.
Chris Jericho congratulations them on their increased personal success and gives Daddy Magic commentary tips (to which he tells Big Bill to shove it up his ass) and Cool Hand Ang parenting tips. Bryan Keith tells Parker to make sure the baby respects Chris Jericho.
The Acclaimed make their entrance and the Young Bucks cut Max Caster’s mic and cites the handbook at them for disparaging EVPs. Their segment is cut and they have to get out now.
Is it just me or is Jericho's latest gimmick stupid as fuck? At least I got to see one of my faves' the Acclaimed diss the Chucklefucks...
Renee Paquette interviews Shane Strickland backstage.
He says Roderick Strong talks about climbing mountains, well he’s dealing with THE mountain, and he’s going to bury him under it. He says the next time Team AEW gets assembled you don’t forget the AEW World champion, because this is his house.
Can Swerve just go ahead and break Roddy's neck while he has the chance?
--Blackpool Combat Club (“American Dragon” Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, & Wheeler YUTA) vs. Esfinge & Los Depredadores (Magnus, Rugido, & Volador, Jr.) >>> Blackpool Combat Club win by pinfall with a seatbelt pin from Wheeler YUTA on Rugido.
Then we get a meeting between Christian and the Chucklefucks...
Back from commercial, the Patriarchy meet with the Young Bucks backstage.
Christian Cage wants another title shot to make up for getting screwed at Double or Nothing. Matthew Jackson says if they had it their way they’d hand out belts to them but when they tried to do that for Jack Perry last week Christopher Daniels screwed it up. They’re gonna see what they can do and they’ll all continue scratching each other’s backs.
If Baby Khan was smart, he'd make the Fallen Angel a full-time EVP for Competition and let him make most of the booking decisions (hell, bring Vince Fucking Russo in to help; just don't give Russo the reins).
--Mariah May vs. Saraya >>> Saraya wins by submission with the Scorpion Crosslock. (Given all the past wrestlers who've faced Toni Storm and failed to win, I think its' time to pull the trigger on a Kris Statlander heel run as AEW Women's Champion. She's already been a champion, albeit w/the TBS title and it would cement her status as IMO one of the best women wrestlers in the business period. Not just in AEW, across all of wrestling.
We then hear from Bryan Danielson AEW's resident hall monitor....
Back from commercial, Bryan Danielson cuts a promo.
He talks about what a blessing it is to see a guy like Wheeler YUTA come back from four months off and get the big win. He talks about how he said eight months ago he was only gonna do another year, but with four months left it hasn’t been what he wanted it to be. He missed a chance to win the TNT title, he lost the Continental Classic, he lost to Okada, and he loses and loses and loses.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was losing in Anarchy in the Arena. He was real down about it and talked to Wheeler about how fired up he was to come back, and he realized his year ain’t over yet, and since the winner of the Owen is getting the All In title match, he got fired up one more time. It might be his last shot, but it’s his best shot, and he’s going out on top.
FWIW, I'd love to see Danielson win this year's OHT and use it for one last title run.
--Roderick Strong vs. Shane “Swerve” Strickland (c) (AEW World Championship) >>> Shane “Swerve” Strickland wins by pinfall with the House Call, retaining the AEW World Championship.
