Winner and STILL AEW World Tag Team Champion: The Hurt Syndicate
Rating: **1/4. Fine tag match here, but it’s hard to take Top Flight serious as contenders considering MJF destroyed them by himself last week.
Lashley keeps the Hurt Lock on and Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara make their way to the ring. Dustin Rhodes knows Lashley is a badass, but maybe he’s a bitch instead.
CRU is here. They want to rearrange Sammy and Dustin’s face. Rush says that how about Bobby remembers the history between them, and they get to jump the line. Dustin wants them to learn some manners and respect their elders. MVP says they have thirty seconds, so how about the CRU takes on Dustin and Sammy, and they’ve got other business to attend to.
MJF is here and they’re ready to give their decision. MVP says they know what’s coming their way. MVP… thumbs up. Shelton Benjamin… thumbs up. Last not but not least… Lashley. Thumbs… up! MJF is in! Benjamin was ready to superkick him in the teeth, but all is well. WE HURT PEOPLE. WE HURT PEOPLE. WE HURT PEOPLE.

Winner: Mina Shirakawa
Rating: ***. The ending kind of came out of nowhere, here, and I don’t think Storm needed to be pinned to lose a four-way, but what do i know. Great to have Mina here full time, and that was an immediate impact.
AZM is being helped to the back and Mercedes Mone is here to attack her. Mone locks in the Statement Maker on the ramp but Jamie Hayter isn’t having that and she’s here to make the save. Mina Shirakawa vs. Toni Storm has been added to Double or Nothing.
At this point, we get a video tribute to the late Sabu. Taz says Sabu was a machine, his work ethic was off the charts, and his energy was infectious. Taz says Sabu was aura before aura was aura, and he brought the best out of him. Taz said Sabu was loved by his peers and he will be missed.
Renee is in the back with MJF and MVP. MJF has Mark Sterling, his attorney, look over the contract. MJF tells MVP he won’t sign anything unless it’s kosher.
Tony Schiavone is in the ring with Nigel McGuinness. Nigel welcomes Daniel Garcia to the ring to apologize. Nigel apologizes for ruining Danny Garcia’s chance to win the match the other night, and make the winner’s purse. Nigel knows where his place is.
Garcia says Nigel can keep his apology, because FTR disrespected him, and he did what he should have done. Garcia said he’s going to fight FTR with or without him, but it would be an honor to have Nigel fight along side him.
Big Stoke is here. FTR isn’t here tonight, but they sent Stoke to speak on their behalf. Stoke wants to know what Nigel’s problem is. Nigel put his hands on FTR, and he should know that when you do that, there are repercussions and consequences. Nigel’s punishment should be getting into the ring with FTR.
Nigel said he and Garcia have barely had a conversation and FTR would kill them. Garcia says maybe they would, but he’s going to fight anyway. FTR are here and they blast Nigel and Garcia from behind! Garcia is about to get spiked with a piledriver but Daddy Magic makes the save with a tire iron!
Match #5. AEW World Heavyweight Championship Cage Match: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Samoa Joe
Joe bounces Moxley’s head off the cage a bunch to start, and Mox is already busted open. Shoulder block by Joe against Moxley up against the cage.

Joe looks on in approval as someone in a hood passes Moxley the briefcase and he blasts Joe with it! One, two, three! The hooded figure turns out to be.. Gabe Kidd from New Japan!
Winner and STILL AEW World Heavyweight Champion: Jon Moxley
Rating: ***1/2. Really good, hard-hitting, main event here. Moxley won how he had to win, but these two beat the heck out of each other.
Marina takes out Willow after the match as Claudio and Kidd team up on Hobbs.
The Young Bucks music hits as they cheer on the winner, Jon Moxley. Kenny Omega’s music hits! Omega is about to hit the ring but Okada is here out of nowhere and blasts Okada in the stomach. Okada throws Omega into the ring, to the waiting arms of the Young Bucks. Matthew lowers the cage over the ring, locking Omega and Joe in there with the Death Riders, Young Bucks, and Gabe Kidd! BTE Trigger to Joe! Paradigm Shift to Omega!
Who’s House? SWERVE’S HOUSE! SWERVE IS HERE TO HELP! Swerve Stomp off the top of the cage! Matthew raises the cage as the Bucks and Death Riders scatter!
Swerve said last time he was here, he got his brains beat in by a steel chair and a cinderblock, and here he is. Swerve fears nothing, he IS the fear. Swerve is the most dangerous man in AEW. Swerve says… they may have caused a little bit of anarchy. ANARCHY IN THE ARENA IS BACK AT DOUBLE OR NOTHING, BABY!
