Winners: The Elite & Ricochet
Rating: ****. Spot fest Jones, as Taz would say, and that’s totally fine. The crowd loved it, Bailey and Knight showed out, all the interior storylines played out… this was great.
The Hurt Syndicate show up in the back, and a bunch of random extras sing their theme song, so they get beat up.
Match #2. The Opps vs. Hawkins… and two other guys.
Shibata chops and punts people. Tag to Hobbs. Hobbs with about half a dozen clotheslines to Hawkins. Hobbs drops the straps and it’s a big spinebuster. Finito.

The Opps attack from behind. Joe and Moxley pair off as Claudio hits a big running European uppercut to Hobbs. Moxley gets choked out by Joe on the stage but Moxley points to the ring, as Claudio turns a chair upside down and it’s the Neutralizer on the chair!
Samoa Joe says Moxley acts like a boss, but when hands get thrown, he’s a little bitch. Mox says he wanted Joe one on one, but he doesn’t really want that. Let’s give the people what they want. Mox, you coward, let’s do it inside the cage.
Renee is in the back with The Patriarchy. Jay Lethal shows up and says Nick Wayne has a lot to prove, and he wants a match tonight. Wayne thinks better of it but Christian accepts the match for him!

Winer: Toni Storm
Rating: ***. Unnecessarily long commercial break right in the middle of this one, but the action was darn good here.
Mercedes Mone is here and she makes it known she’s coming for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Jamie Hayters music his and she floors Mone, letting her know that she’s still got to go through her.
The Don Calls Family like making and writing history. Last week, Takeshita and Alexander made history, and Callis wants to do it again. Fletcher will beat Page and then Ospreay in Texas.
The Hurt Syndicate are here! This is an official announcement. MVP says they’ve been thinking about adding a fourth member, so let’s get a recount here, as it needs to be a unanimous thumbs up.
MJS is here.
MJF puts over Shelton Benjamin and MVP, but calls Lashley, just… “Bob.”
Let’s get to the vote. Thumbs up from MVP. Thumbs up from Benjamin. Thumbs… DOWN from Lashley!
“Ya know what, Bob? I think I’m about sick of your shit.” Ruh roh. What does Lashley want from MJF? Maybe, Rogain? You big, bald, SOB. Lashley grabs MJF by the throat asks him if MJF wants to impress someone so bad…? Hurt people.

Match #5. Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament: Hangman Page vs. Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis & Lance Archer

ONE, TWO, THREE!
Winner: Hangman Page
Rating: ****1/2. Woof. I knew this was going to be good, I didn’t know it was going to be this good. Fletcher has grown into an absolute superstar, and Page is *the* guy. Hangman and Ospreay with the winner taking on Jon Moxley for the title… take all my money. Excellent main event here.
Final Thoughts: AEW threw everything at us in the first 45 minutes of the show, and they delivered. Today’s and tomorrow’s starts got to share the ring for over a half an hour, and everyone delivered. AEW’s ability to build new starts doesn’t get talked about enough, including guys like Kyle Fletcher, Kevin Knight, Speedball, and that’s just tonight’s show. Ricochet is another one who came to AEW and immediately felt like a different person, with a different presentation, and the crowd is here for it. The build to Omega/Okada is slow and steady, the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament has been excellent, and Toni Storm is doing Toni Storm things. Couple all that with a BANGER main event? Easy thumbs up this week. 8.5/10.Â
