Back in the ring, Page throws Moxley face-first into the barbed wire covered steel chair and hits the Deadeye on the glass! Claudio hits the ring and Yuta emerges, and both guys put the boots to Page. Will Ospreay is here with a chair and he fights off the Death Riders! Gabe Kidd is here now and he puts Ospreay to sleep with a guillotine choke. Piledriver on the floor by Kidd! Claudio wraps a chair around the neck of Ospreay and Claudio stomps it! Officials help Ospreay to the back, meanwhile, Page and Moxley fight on the apron. Moxley locks in the choke, as two tables are set up at ringside, covered in barbed wire. Superplex by Moxley through the tables! Both guys manage to get to their feet, but Moxley is covered in blood from head to toe at this point. Ospreay, meanwhile, is being stretchered to the back. Moxley, dripping blood, begs Page to fight him and he does! Hockey fight! King Kong lariat by Moxley. Gotch Style Piledriver and Moxley floats over to the bulldog choke. Moxley thinks Page is done so he let’s the referee count him down. Page is BARELY up at 10! Moxley unfolds a chair and it’s the Paradigm Shift on the chair! Again, Page is up by 10. Moxley motions to Claudio, and Claudio acknowledges, grabbing the plastic bag from his pocket. Moxley has the bag, but a video package of Darby Allin from Mt. Everest is shown. Someone’s in the ring in a lucha mask…
IT’S BRYAN DANIELSON! BRYAN DANIELSON IS BACK!
Danielson lays into everyone! Busaiku Knee to Moxley! Roundhouse kicks by Danielson to Yuta and Claudio on the outside! Darby Allin repels from the ceiling of the ROOF OF THE STADIUM. BUCKSHOT BY HANGMAN OUT OF NOWHERE! A SECOND BUCKSHOT! Darby and Danielson run off the Death Riders as Page drills Moxley with the Deadeye through a table on the outside! Six, seven, eight, nine… Shafir pulls Moxley to his feet! Behind Page, it’s The Bucks! Superkicks to Page and the EVP Trigger! Moxley and Shafir PULL OUT A BED OF NAILS. Moxley stomps Page but Page obviously blocks it, so Moxley hits the Paradigm Shift on the corner of the nails! WHAT’S HAPPENING. PAGE IS UP AT 9.999999. Moxley instructs Shafir to get the belt, and as she reaches under the timekeeper’s table, she is apparently handcuffed? PRINCE NANA IS THERE. SWERVE HAS PAGE’S CHAIN AND HE LAYS OUT THE BUCKS! Swerve gives Page the chain! Page blasts Moxley with the chain and he tries to hang him, but Moxley escapes. Buckshot lariat and Moxley falls back on the bed of nails! HANGMAN WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND MOXLEY’S NECK! HANGMAN HANGS MOXLEY! MOXLEY IS FREAKING OUT! MOXLEY TAPS!
Winner and NEW AEW World Heavyweight Champion: Hangman Page
Rating: *****. What is there to say? The main event was a movie. From start to finish. The storyline that started over a year ago, finally culminates at AEW’s biggest event of the year. I can’t put into words what I just watched, but I loved every single moment of it. Swerve helping Page, Danielson’s return, the brutality. Jon Moxley has done an unbelievable as champion, and the payoff to the story was everything that everyone.
After the match, Page gets the briefcase, tears in his eyes, and he holds up the title!
Final Thoughts: What the hell can you say about a six-hour PPV that literally threw everything at you? Tonight’s PPV was a professional wrestling buffet. There was something for everyone, literally. Singles, tags, trios, technical wrestling, lucha libre, death match, battle royal, surprises, returns, upsets. I could go on and on. Starting at the bottom, the three main events all delivered. Every single one of them. Everyone expected Mercedes to beat Storm, so that was a pleasant surprise, as I said earlier, cementing her as the face of the women’s division. The legendary Omega/Okada rivalry added another chapter, with more story, more purpose, and great wrestling. The main event was well… insane. Some of the wildest spots I can remember seeing. The blood, the violence, the story. It had it all. It was almost, or maybe it even was, perfect? AEW has been on a monster roll lately and this PPV will be one that is looked back on as a pivotal moment in the company. Were there too many matches? Sure. But when you pay $49.99 for an AEW PPV, you know you’re getting every pennies worth. 9.5/10.
