In the ring with the Death Riders, they have to earn every inch. They’re swimming with the real sharks tonight.

Daniel Garcia & Jon Moxley (w/ Claudio Castagnoli) vs Private Party
We see an inset video package showing the history between the teams, harking back to the early formation of the Death Riders when Marina Shafir broke Kassidy’s hand with a hammer. That’s a nice touch.

Moxley tags in, stomping the knee. He puts his hands behind his back, welcoming the shots, then receives a Manhattan drop, Quen with a blind tag, double flapjack from Private Party.

Ricochet says he’s been doing a lot of thinking, and he realized Jack Perry wouldn’t be holding HIS title if it weren’t for Kenny Omega. Omega stopped the Gates being in that Blackjack battle royale.

Thekla shows up in the crowd along with the Sisters of Sin and says no, they’re not doing this. She is the AEW Women’s World champion, and all of those women in the ring are nothing, None of them can handle Thekla or the Sisters of Sin, and none of those silly bitches can handle the Triangle of Madness.
Thekla swears on the cold dead body of Storm, if anyone wants to try it on with them, they’ll end up just like Toni did. Mina grabs the mic and says next week, they fight them…And they’ll beat the piss out of them.
* Lexy Nair is with Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis and Kazuchika Okada backstage. Fletcher doesn’t like the working relationship with MJF, they should be looking to get the World title for themselves. Tonight is all about revenge though. Okada says he gets revenge on Knight for his family. Okada turns to Kyle, he saw what he said to Takeshita on Dynamite. Okada gets emotional! But remember, Okada believes in Kyle. Fletcher says he believes in Okada too, he knows Okada will retain tonight, and then Fletcher wants to turn his attention to the World title.

* Backstage, Harley Cameron feels like she let Willow down. Willow Nightingale says she wouldn’t have wanted to do this with anyone other than her. They just have to focus on other things now. Harley wants Willow to focus on being TBS champion. Always Babes? Always Babes. Awww is that the end for our Babes?! Nice sendoff for them if so.
The Rascalz vs Don Callis Family (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis)
Feels so weird referring to them as the Don Callis Family together in tag action…that’s Aussie Open, dude! It’s Wentz and Fletcher to begin, with Wentz whipping off a top rope hurracanrana early on. Tornillo connects, cover, 1 count. Xavier in, drop toe hold and the leg drop/senton combo, 2 count this time. Fletcher comes back with a scoop slam, Davis in but misses the senton.

We seemingly get a bit of a pause, Davis with a running kick to Xavier. It’s all breaking down a bit and everyone seems to be stalling. Shut your eyes and count to three! Davis covers, 1, 2, 3.
Winners: Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher
* Don Callis speaks with Ricochet at Global Wars last night. Callis says he has that MJF money so he can cut Ricochet in too. Callis clearly wants Ricochet to take out Kenny Omega.
* Lexy Nair speaks to Kevin Knight, and he wants to keep it short and sweet. He’s already beat Okada, and a couple of weeks ago he took MJF to the limit. With a little bit of hustle and a whole lot of swag, he can turn any dream into reality. He’s going to become a double champion tonight.
* Death Riders regroup backstage, and Moxley says we won’t be seeing Private Party again any time soon. People keep asking him about Ospreay like there’s something he’s supposed to feel bad about. Ospreay got exactly what he asked for, he found himself in an Unsanctioned Cage match because no doctor would clear him…what did he think was going to happen? On Wednesday, Ospreay faces Pac, top of the food chain.
