Winners: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara
Rating: ***1/4. This was a total cluster and unbelievably enjoyable. The Texas crowd ate up all of the hometown boys, and Dustin Rhodes is literally only getting better. Once again, the Kingdom were the perfect foil, and this was a heck of a lot of fun. Good for Sammy, too, as this feels like a fresh start.
A video package of AEW wrestlers and personalities giving their opinions on Swerve vs. Bryan Danielson is shown, to “Machinehead” by Bush. And yes, it is awesome as heck.
Jericho says Tommy Billington is entitled, just like Hook, who is banned from the Learning Tree forever. Jericho says he wanted a warmup match in the UK, and he got one with Billington. Dynamite Kid wouldn’t even like his own son, if he was here. Jericho learned in the dungeon, and he’s a modern-day Stu Hart.
Match #3. Angelico vs. Hologram
Arm drags by both men to start and they match each other every step of the way to start. Leg whip by Hologram and a dropkick. Suicide dive by Hologram takes out Angelico on the ramp!

Majistral by Angelico but Hologram stops the momentum and gets a two. A diving majistral cradle by Hologram ties up Angelico and this one’s over.
Winner: Hologram
Rating **3/4. This was pretty fun, but the commercial robbed us of some of it.
A video package of the Tiger Driver 91′ is shown, including it’s origins with Mitsuharu Misawa. Really cool video package here, highlighting the danger of the move and why Ospreay stopped using it.
Match #4. Jack Perry vs. Danny Orion
Perry is violent tonight and just chops the soul of out this fella. Huge lariat. Running knee. Fin.
Winner: Jack Perry
Rating: NR
After the match, Perry goes underneath the ring and gets a body bag. Perry spray paints the guys face white and then puts him in the bag. Perry then pulls out a new TNT title that’s covered in black and red.
Christopher Daniels tells us that Christian Cage won’t get away with his actions, as there will be a trios eliminator at Dynamite Cardiff, and the winners will face The Patriarchy in a London Ladder’s Match.

Enziguiri by Lio but he misses Rush Hour. Lio charges and gets popped up into the air, right into a European uppercut. Woof. That’ll finish this one.
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli
Rating: **3/4. Heck of a showing by Lio here, who’s really finding a home for himself in AEW. Good win for Claudio ahead of his match with Okada this week.
We catch up with Eddie Kingston from his home, recovering from his surgery. Eddie’s noticed some things on Dynamite lately. What Bryan Danielson is this? Not the Danielson that fought Eddie, or Kenta. This Bryan is disrespectful to our sport, and he’s going to get beat. This Bryan doesn’t have the fire anymore. Is Bryan going to go out on his back? If you’re not going to give everything… what’s the point.
Match #6. Mariah May vs. London Dior
Shotgun dropkick before the bell by May. Boots in the corner by May. Running hip attack in the corner. Storm Zero.
Winner: Mariah May
Rating: NR
Lights go out! Timeless Toni presents.. her final gift. A movie of Storm is shown. Storm’s final gift to May will be the grandest Toni Storm of all. London will lay at our feet! Go out of your way to watch this… it was awesome. May has lost it and she beats on Dior with the shoe for good measure.
Match #7. Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship: FTR vs. The Acclaimed
Shoulder block by Cash and it’s headlock city, baby. Lots of chain wrestling to start, quick tags, and even exchanges. Dropkicks by Caster and a double back body drops by The Acclaimed. FTR has to revisit their strategy as Caster chases Dax and gets clotheslined hard by Cash. FTR in control through the commercial but Bowens finally gets the tag and lays everyone out. Kick combo to both guys and a low running knee to Dax. Two count. Dax ducks under a clothesline and delivers a German suplex. Two. Three. Cash gets the tag and gets a roll up for two. Little but of confusion here as we’re not sure who’s legal and who’s not, and everyone is kind of looking for each other. FTR wants a spike piledriver but Caster back body drops Dax and catches Cash low off the top rope. Superplex by Caster, he holds up, picks up Cash in another suplex, and Bowens comes off the top with a crossbody at the same time. Two count. Double suplex to Cash but Dax makes the save and it’s a meeting of the minds. Lariat by Cash and a powerslam. Electric chair to Caster and Dax comes off the top with a diving bulldog a la the Steiner Brothers! Long two count. Caster hot shots Dax over the top and makes the tag to Bowens before we go to commercial. Back suplex by Bowens as he escapes the sleeper. Lariat by Cash and a running European uppercut. Noshigami by Cash for two. Short-arm clothesline by Cash. Make that two. Powerbomb by Cash is reversed into a powerbom of Caster’s own. Jackknife cover but Cash follows the roll and gets a two count. FTR look for the spike piledriver but Bowens dumps Cash off the top to the floor and apron. Strike combinations The Acclaimed and a Magic Killer attempt but Cash shoved Bowens and Dax rolls up Bowens for two.

Bowens fights Dax off the top but gets crotched by Cash. Cash now DDTs Bowens on the apron! Powerplex by FTR (although Dax slipped and he managed to save Bowens life) and a suicide dive to the outside by Cash takes out Caster! Two count. Dax and Bowens trade hard strikes from their knees and FTR wants the Shatter Machine but Caster breaks it up and The Acclaimed hit the Shatter Machine on Dax! Two count! The Arrival on Dax and a Mic Drop out of nowhere! Cash bullies Caster into the cover to break it up before the three! All four guys are in the ring as the time limit expires.
Winners: NA
Rating: ***3/4. Man, did this one start slow. That said, after the 20-minute mark, it was all action. Interesting choice here as I didn’t feel like The Acclaimed were quite hot enough, but this match tonight changed that. Kudos to FTR too, these guys put everything they had into those one.
Tony Schiavone announces that it will be a three-way match at Webley, for the titles!
Final Thoughts: The job of tonight’s show was to get the Texas fans happy, and build to All In, and they did that. Story-heavy at times and good wrestling at others, the fans enjoyed every minute of it and they added a lot to the atmosphere. How good is Toni Storm, by the way? 7.75/10.
