Breaking News! AEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATOR SERIES CONCLUDES AT FORBIDDEN DOOR, AND BEGINS… Tonight!
Hangman is on his way to the ring and he’s stopped by Renee Paquette. Page wants this fight tonight, because he wants revenge for what the Death Riders did to Colt Cabana.
Match #1. Hangman Page vs. Wheeler Yuta
Yuta jumps Page from the crowd and follows up with a suicide dive. Back in the ring, Page regains the upper hand with hard right hands and some boots in the corner. Clothesline by Page, who follows Yuta to the outside and throws him into everything he can find. Fall away slam into the turnbuckles and a Helluva Kick in the corner. Death Valley Driver by Page gets two. Buckshot. Finito.
Winner: Hangman Page
Rating: *3/4. Just enough to be more than a squash, but Yuta got little to no offense in this one and Page’s title reign starts… now.
After the match, Page grabs the chain that he hung Moxley with and blasts Yuta in the face. Ground and pound by Page, who now wants to murder Wheeler Yuta by hanging him… but he thinks better of it. Yuta is busted open bad, by the way.
Athena and Billie Starkz are in the back. Athena refers to Toni as “Tonti” a lot and I’m not sure why, but Billie is going to take her out tonight.
Match #2. Tag Team Tournament: FTR vs. JetSpeed
JetSpeed on the attack early and follow up with a pair of planchas to the floor. Bailey’s knee buckles though, so something to keep an eye on. Dax with a vicious chop to Bailey before pounding on him in the corner. Commercial time. We’re back as FTR think about a PowerPlex but Knight holds on and Bailey is able to hurricanrana Dax off the top rope. Double missile dropkick by JetSpeed to FTR and a pendulum DDT to Dax! Two count. Odd looking high/low to Dax with a foot sweep and a shoulder block, but a follow up springboard splash by Knight and an asai moonsault to Cash on the floor. Knight tries to head outside but Dax catches his leg and dragon screw leg whips him on the apron. A second one back inside the ring. Dax now pulls Knight outside and wraps his knee around the ring post. Figure-four around the ring post by Dax to Knight! Knight is in pain and Dax refuses to break the hold, but Bailey lands a roundhouse on Cash and then some rapid fire roundhouse kicks to Dax, who’s holding on the figure four, until breaking. Cash is here with another dragon screw to Bailey, and a basement forearm. Back in the ring, another dragon screw to Knight before Dax locks in the Sharpshooter. Bailey is now locked in the Sharpshooter outside, courtesy of Cash. FTR now set up the PowerPlex inside the ring, but Knight gets the knees up on Cash. Bailey with a Shooting Star Press to Dax but he somehow gets the knees up at 2.9999. Commercial. We’re back with a sunset flip bomb to Dax by Bailey for two. Bailey pump kicks Cash off the apron and hits a HUGE asai moonsault on to both members of FTR. Inside the ring, pop-up powerbomb by Dax but Bailey rolls through and counters with a roundhouse kick to the chest and a Shooting Star knee drop! One, two, no! Doomsday Device dropkick from inside the ring by Knight! Cash breaks up the pin at two. Bailey sends Cash into the front row with a back body drop, before following up with a running crossbody into the crowd. UFO Splash by Knight to Dax back inside the ring but Dax gets the boots up and cradles him for two! Slingshot powerbomb by Dax is countered into a roll up by Knight for two. Bailey looks for a hurricanrana but Dax catches him, slingshots him off the ropes into a huge powerbomb! Knight with a crucifix on Dax from behind but Dax rolls through, grabs Stokely’s crutch, and sneaks the pin!
Winners: FTR
Rating: ***3/4. Excellent tag team match here, which is no surprise considering the participants. FTR gave quite the rub to JetSpeed here, who have become an excellent tag team almost out of nowhere.
Tony Schiavone hits the ring. Stokely says that Adam Copeland belongs in prison. Cope is a loser, a horrible human being, and a cancer to AEW.
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?
Copeland is here! Stokely reminds Cope that he can’t come within 200 feet of them. Cope forgot about that. But, he made a business deal with some guys to work around that.
The Hurt Syndicate.
Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin hit the ring! All four guy brawl but as FTR are looking for a way out. Copeland hits the ring and wants to blast Stokely with another spear, but Stokely pulls a security guard in the way and he eats it instead.
Moxley lost the match. No reason to be a bitch about it. Hangman fought the fight of his life. Credit don’t roll. Movie doesn’t end. Moxley asks a lot of the people around him and he asks a lot of himself. Mistake was made… and Moxley will fix it.
Will Ospreay joins Tony Schiavone in the ring. Ospreay flew himself here today, and Tony Khan didn’t even know about it. Ospreay says he’s been struggling with his neck for ten months and it’s been causing him some issues. The AEW medical staff would have told him to stop, but he’s kept it to himself. Ospreay’s proud to say that they got the belt back off of Moxley, but here’s the truth. When the Death Riders did what they did to him, it turns out the C2 and C6 vertebrae are herniated and are pressing on his spinal chord. Hopefully, Ospreay will be back for Forbidden Door in just a month’s time. Three things. 1. Swerve, love ya bruv. 2. Hangman, proud to call you our world champion… but he does want a rematch. 3. The moment Ospreay is healthy, he’s coming for each and every one of the Death Riders.
A video package for the new women’s trios of Thekla, Skye Blue, and Julia Hart.
Willow is here with Renee. Willow’s been wrapped up with the Death Riders, Kris Statlander, etc. But Willow was in that match with Thekla last week, and she believes she had her pinned in the center of the ring. She wants that back.
The Hurt Syndicate are with Renee. MJF barges in and wants to know what the hell is going on with Copeland? Lashley loses it and shoves MJF up against the locker and tells him he wants him out. MVP looks very disappointed.
Match #3. AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm (c) vs. Billie Starkz
Storm grabs a head lock take over and follows up with a shoulder block. Backbreaker by Storm. Monkey flip by Storm. A second attempt but Starkz chops Storm off the top rope. Foot sweep by Starkz and a low super kick. Tope by Starkz. Back inside the ring, a snap suplex by Starkz and we go to commercial. Back from break and Starkz bounces Storm’s head off the turnbuckle, but Storm fires back with Mongolian chops and a Thesz Press. Powerbomb by Storm gets two. Storm looks for the chickn wing but Starkz with an arm drag and a facebuster. Falcon Arrow on the knee by Starkz! Back slide into a fisherman’s suplex by Storm gets two. Running pump kick by Starkz gets two. Victory roll by Storm gets two. Starkz reverses into a two count of her own. German suplex by Storm! Running hip attack in the corner by Storm! Storm Zero is countered into a long two by Starkz. Rebound kick in the corner by Starkz! Starkz looks for a senton but Storm gets the knees up. TCM Chicken Wing! Starkz taps.
Winner: Toni Storm
Rating: ***. Strong performance by Starkz, who’s got a lifetime ahead of her. Storm gave her enough to make this one competitive.
Starkz attacks Storm with the ROH Women’s TV Title after the bell. Here comes Athena to cash in, but Alex Windsor makes the save for Storm! Windsor takes on Athena for the Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship this weekend.
Match #4. Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana vs. Hechicero w/ Don Callis
Inside arm drag by Hechicero and after some counters, Swerve locks in an abdominal stretch before both men get to the ropes. Overhand chop by Swerve but Hechicero counters with a hammer lock, right into the Mad Scientist Bomb. Two count. Swerve comes back with a tilt a whirl backbreaker right into a vertical suplex. Two count. Commercial. Right hand by Hechicero but Swerve headbutts them and delivers a big boot. Running back elbow, snap mare, and a diving European uppercut by Swerve. Swerve ducks under a big boot and traps the leg, right into a back breaker. Corkscrew kick by Swerve. 450 splash off the top! Two count. Hechicero looks for a victory roll before popping Swerve up and taking the back. Rear naked choke by Hechicero, into a straight arm bar, into a tight cradle for two. Rolling Thunder Flatliner by Swerve! Swerve goes up top but Lance Archer is here, as is the rest of the Don Callis Family, causing the DQ.
Winner: Swere Strickland via DQ
Rating: **1/2. The clash of styles really didn’t work for me here, and blah finish didn’t help.
Brody King and Bandido hit the ring and run off the Don Callis Family, until Okada sneaks in and blasts Swerve in the back with a chair. Swerve fights Okada off and tries to Swerve Stomp him with a chair, but Okada gets free.
Alicia Atout is with Ricochet and the GOA (that’s the Gates of Agony name now. Ricochet and company go over their accomplishments this week.
MJF is here. Firstly, he doesn’t need Bobby Lashley to get his title back. Secondly, MJF isn’t executing the contract beccause…
REACH FOR THE SKY, BOYS!
Mark says he had the Gauntlet win, but when the pressure is on… Briscoe folds. MJF is the most complete wrestler in the world today. MJF thinks he sucks, and he’s mid, but we all know the fans can’t get enough of Mark Briscoe. Briscoe makes the fans feel warm and fuzzy, but his fans don’t think he’s a top guy. Briscoe is a circus clown that the people feel bad from. MJF knew a different guy from Delaware, that people did respect. And… he’s from Delaware. Nobody will ever respect Mark like they did his brother Jay.
Briscoe hits the ring and MJF escapes, but here comes Claudio.
Match #5. Mark Briscoe vs. Claudio Castagnoli
Chops by Briscoe. Chops by Claudio. Snake eyes by Claudio and a running clothesline in the corner. Both guys fight to the outside as Claudio swings Briscoe into the guardrail! Commercial. Back from break and Claudio is standing on the hand of Briscoe, but here’s Darby Allin in the crowd! Flying forearms by Briscoe and some big clotheslines. Claudio blocks an exploder but he can’t block the Ghetto Blaster. Exploder! Two count. Big boot sends Claudio to the outside, where Briscoe follows with a flipping suicide dive! Cactus Elbow of the announcer’s desk by Briscoe! Briscoe gets on the LED board and runs off, catching Claudio with a Blockbuster! Back inside the ring, Briscoe NAILS the Froggy Bow! Two count. Claudio blocks the Jay Driller but eats a big back elbow. Both guys on the top rope now, but Claudio pushes Briscoe and he gets crotched on the top rope. Avalanche body slam by Claudio! Two count. Claudio thumbs Briscoe in the eye and follows up with a flying European uppercut! Two count. Claudio thinks Neutralizer but Briscoe rolls him up for the win!
Winner: Mark Briscoe
Rating: ***. Perfectly acceptable main event but these two are capable of more, given the time.
After the match, Marina Shafir chop blocks Briscoe and the Death Riders jump him. Briscoe gets worked over with the chair but Hangman is here! Hangman walks to the ring. Hangman says Moxley was wrong about him, and he will prove it to him. Next week… Dynamite. Hangman vs. Mox… for the title. But this time, Moxley is the challenger, and he will play by Hangman’s rules. Everyone banned from ringside. See you next week!
