Hard chop by Keith to start and Eddie is now awake. Keith blocks the backfist early and responds with a shoulder block. Crossfaces by Eddie and some hard chops against the ropes.

Winner: Eddie Kingston
Rating: ****. Yep, this ruled. This ruled so hard. If the rumors of Keith being All Elite are true, they did a great job getting him over by taking the grizzled champion in Kingston to the limit.
Tony Schiavone hits the ring and speaks to Eddie, but Eddie tells him that LOIS RULES! Eddie tells Tony to talk to Keith. Tony lets us know that, in Keith’s hometown… Bryan Keith is All Elite! Both guys share a nice moment as Keith gets emotional… but here’s Bryan Danielson! Danielson steals the moment and raises Keith’s hand as Eddie bails.
Jon Moxley doesn’t have an issue with what CMLL did last week, but CMLL should know that the Blackpool Combat Club is the Elite of All Elite. Also, BCC might just show up at CMLL.
Match #2. Bryan Danielson vs. Hechicero
Nice takedown by Hechicero as both men find themselves in 50/50. Both men trade cradles and Danielson locks Hechicero in a surfboard. Hechicero powers himself out and then puts Danielson in the surfboard, forcing Danielson to use the ropes… and looking frustrated in the process. Crowd chants for Hechicero! Round kicks and chops in the corner by Danielson. Danielson puts Hechicero on the top rope but Hechicero rolls through for a sunset flip that gets two. Hechicero hits the ropes and looks for a tieres but instead uses it as a guillotine head scissor leg drop (!). Two count. Reverse victory roll by Hechicero, who then kicks Danielson’s legs back and takes his back, locking in a rear naked choke. Danielson is forced to get to the ropes as we go to commercial. Back from break as Danielson is eating some hard chops and right hands in the corner. Crowd is on fire for this one. Danielson backflips over Hechicero but Hechicero hits the ropes and springboards into a dropkick. Brutal running knee strikes in the corner by Hechicero now, but both guys fight to the top.

After some awkward jockeying, Danielson rolls him up for the win!

Rating: ****. Woah, did not see this one coming. The fans LOVED Hechicero and Danielson, of course, can do no wrong right now. The technical wizardry was on display and what we were promised… delivered.
Running dropkick by Hechicero to a downed Danielson, before putting the boots to him. Claudio is here and Hechicero runs!
Lexi is in the back with FTgaRcia. Garcia says he doesn’t care what they call them, or to be running with FTR, but he wants FTR by his side. Dax reminds us the rankings are back and even though they didn’t make the tag team ranks, they’re going after the trios titles starting tonight.

Rating: NR
Mark Briscoe joins Tony Schiavone in the ring. Mark says it’s special to be in the ring with Tony Schiavone, because he grew up watching him interview Dusty, Flair, etc. and it’s great to be here with him in Texas. Mark says last week he was getting jumped by the House of Black last week and left for dead, but as the credits rolled, it was Daniel Garcia, FTR, and Mark Briscoe standing tall and House of Black left licking their wounds. Mark says for 20 years he’s been part of the baddest tag team on the planet, and now he’s got to learn to fight himself.
LIGHTS GO OUT!
House of Black are on the video screen. Black loves magic tricks, and he likes the one where someone disappears… just like that. Lights come back on.
Match #4. Queen Aminata vs. Serena Deeb
Deeb with a takedown and some pandering. Aminata with an arm drag but Deeb counters into a seesaw and then a roll up for two.

Deeb struggles to get Aminata up for the DeebTox so she settles for another swinging neckbreaker. Serenity Lock finishes this one.
Winner: Serena Deeb
Rating: **. Much like Bryan Keith, AEW is putting Aminata in a position to get some serious reps in with their more seasoned talent… and it’s working. Nice win for Deeb.
Tony Schiavone, earning his money tonight, welcomes Swerve to the ring. Swerve talks about Black History Month, and the success of all the people that paved the way for him, like Ron Simmons. Kofi Kingston. Athena. Wednesday he’s got the opportunity to be the champion soon, and it starts Wednesday. Swerve’s done a lot of things, reprehensible things, that’s got him to this point… and he’d do them all again. Tony wants to know about Hangman, and his accusations that Swerve wouldn’t be where he is without the Embassy. Swerve says third time’s a charm. No interferences.
Toni Storm tells us anyone can be tickled. Mariah May wants to know if Toni saw her match on Saturday, but Toni says if you’ve seen one woman’s match, you’ve seen them all. Toni tells Luther to book her a match, she wants to show everyone how technical she can be.

Winners: FTgaRcia
Rating: ****. This trios team really gives FTR a new coat of paint, and they have been delivering in these matches. Excellent main event with an insanely hot crowd. Garcia fits in with FTR seamlessly and the crowds have been responding to him even stronger since the Continental Classic. Great stuff here.
Final Thoughts: Excellent show tonight. Three really strong matches and a hot crowd make for a fast two hours. The CMLL vs. BCC feud is producing some great matches as we have Danielson and Kingston simmering on the backburner. FTgaRcia should be in the trios titles picture sooner rather than later, as Toni Storm continues to deliver. Thumbs up. 8.5/10.
