Live from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz are on the call and we throw to MJF on the tron.
MJF says that Mark Briscoe is white trash that got lucky, and he’s not worthy of any championship. MJF is now going to make Hangman pay for forcing him to use his contract.

Bailey with a running pump kick to start. Moxley back in control and mounts Bailey in the corner with some right hands. Bailey handsprings off the ropes and dropkicks Moxley to the outside.

Speedball comes back with some rapid fire kicks and a missile dropkick off the middle rope. Spinning back kick by Speedball, axe kick, and a roundhouse. Running Shooting Star Press gets two. Moxley ducks underneath and looks for a rear naked choke, but Speedball goes back to the arm he’s been focusing on with an arm ringer. Shooting Star Press off the top by Speedball gets two. Straight armbar! Moxley tries to stack but Speedball hangs on. Back and forth pin attempts here. Wheeler Yuta grabs the boot of Speedball and Moxley boots him in the face. X-Plex! Two count.

Moxley is struggling but he transitions to a rear naked choke. Speedball is woozy… Death Rider! That’ll get it done.
Winner: Jon Moxley
Rating: ***1/4. Fun opening match here and Bailey looks like he belonged. Seems like we’re heading towards Moxley and Darby at Forbidden Door.
Renee Paquette is with Alex Windsor and Toni Storm. Toni says you can beat them down but you can’t beat them of. Or something. International four-way coming up in London at Forbidden Door and we’re trying to figure out who’s going to represent AEW.
Match #2. Billie Starkz w/ Athena vs. Skye Blue vs. Alex Windsor vs. Queen Aminata
The winner of this match goes on to Forbidden Door to represent AEW, as we’ve discussed. Toni Storm has also joined us at ringside. Blue with a hurricanrana on Windsor.

Lariat by Windsor on the return. Athena gets in the ring and Toni pulls her out. Starkz looks for a suplex but Windsor cradles her for the win!
Winner: Alex Windsor
Rating: ***. I fear that the chair spot on the outside will become viral, but for the most part, this match was really very good. The crowd was dead in the beginning but after the break it was all action. Alex Windsor is going to be a big star.
Mercedes Mone is here! Mone holds her belts up in the face of Windsor, as Athena comes off the top with the O Face to Storm! Backstabber by Mone to Windsor. Athena and Mercedes stare each other down.
The Young Bucks are with Renee. Matt sees the producer backstage and he demands the LED, pyro, etc. Let’s see if that changes tonight.
Renee is right back here with Kyle Fletcher and the Don Callis Family. Don Callis said once these men aligned themselves with Don Callis, gold has found them. Kyle has retired a legend when he won that TNT title. Kyle says Dustin should never have had the belt, and he already retired Adam Cole. Any man that tries to take the title from Fletcher will suffer the same fate. Callis says Kyle will be the greatest TNT champion of all time, and Callis has commissioned a painting of him. The painting is of an incredibly jacked Don Callis hugging a jacked Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher loves it and says he will be the TNT champion for a very long time, and he will deend the title this Saturday on Collision.
Match #3. Tag Team Tournament: The Young Bucks vs. BroDido
The Young Bucks get a single pyro, the name plate says Max and Jeremy (Generation ME, days), and Justin Roberts reads a text message from Matt instead of their information. Outstanding. Tornillo by Bandido takes out both Matt and Nick. Brody gets the tag and delivers a double clothesline. Running double crossbody by Brody into the Bucks into the guardrail! Commercial time. BroDido works over Matt in their corner but Brody runs into an enziguiri. Springboard hurricanrana by Nick, who’s now legal. Risky Business to Brody gets two. Brody fights back with hard chops but Nick catches him with a running knee in the corner and an assisted Sliced Bread, and a superkick to Nick gets two.

Death Valley Driver to Matt on the apron! Tornado DDT by Nick to Brody on the outside. Both Nick and Bandido are on the LED board, and Nick superkicks him. Bandido military presses Nick on to Matt! Back in the ring, X Knee by Bandido! 21 Plex! One, two, NO! Nick makes the save. Suicide dive by Brody to Nick. Backflip fall away slam by Bandido to Matt of the top! Senton by brody to Matt and the catapult 450! One, two, three!
Winners: BroDido
Rating: ****. Well, I don’t know if anyone saw that finish coming. Excellent tag team match, as a lot of people were questioning why the Bucks were winning so much after they lost everything, and it’s because that made this win that much more important.
MVP tells MJF that he doesn’t get it. If you join the Syndicate, WE hurt people, but all MJF has been talking about is ME ME ME. MJF’s ego is more than anyone can stand, and it is what it is, but MVP is out.
Next week, Adam Copeland takes on Stokely Hathaway in a single’s match! FTR are with Alicia Atout. FTR can’t be held responsible for what BIG STOKE does next week.
Video package highlighting the rivalry between Okada and Swerve. Swerve and Prince Nana are here. Three different occasions Okada has stared Swerve down, and Swerve saw nothing.
Mark Briscoe is here with Alicia Atout. Hangman’s here, too. Hangman says that he always looked up to and admired the Briscoes, and Mark even more so the last few years. Hangman hopes it’s Briscoe that challenges him for the title.
Queen Aminata is with Renee. Willow is here and she says she has Queen Aminata’s back. Kris Statlander is here too, and she says she wants Willow to make a speech. Willow says Statlander can’t put her in the past.
Match #5. MJF vs. Mark Briscoe
As expected, we’re brawling to start this one. Briscoe looks for the Jay Driller early but MJF escapes to the outside area. Briscoe beats MJF up throughout the crowd, up the stairs, down the stairs everywhere. Finaly we’re back in the ring and MJF is scratching the back. MJF picks Briscoe up for a suplex and proceeds to drop him stomach-first over the top. Commercial. Back from break and Briscie is firing in right hands before hitting the ropes and coming back with a flying forearm. Exploder by Briscoe and a running boot in the corner. Briscoe goes up top for the Froggy bow but MJF rolls to the outside… and Briscoe comes off the apron with a Cactus Elbow. Briscoe lines up the Froggy Bow again but MJF rolls to the outside again. TOPE CON HILO by Briscoe! Back in the ring yet again.. FROGGY BOW! MJF then rolls to the outside and Briscoe sets him up on the table… Froggy Bow through the table but MJF moves! Briscoe crashes and burns through the table! MJF rolls inside and demands a count out, and Briscoe is struggling to get up. 7..8..9.. Briscoe makes the count! MJF catches Briscoe coming in with the Heat Seeker! One, two, three! Briscoe’s foot was on the rope and the referee didn’t see it!
Winner: MJF
Rating: ***. Fine match here in the main event, but you the job of this main event was to get to Hangman and MJF.
MJF grounds and pounds Briscoe after the match, then takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring and blasts Briscoe in the face with it. Before he can do any more damage, here’s Hangman! Hangman charges the ring and both guys brawl until security breaks it up.
Hangman checks on Briscoe as MJF reemerges from the crowd, and the brawl continues until the credits roll!
See you all on Saturday!
