Caster makes a blind tag and Bowens cradles Kassidy for what would have been the three. Floyd crotches Caster and Private Party sneak in and hit the Silly String for the win.
Winners and STILL AEW World Tag Team Champions: Private Party
Rating: **1/2. This one never really got going for me. The stuff between The Acclaimed made sense, but I’m getting over the multi-man matches where 5-6 guys just lay down on the floor for 80% of the match, and that’s what this felt like.
Lexy Nair is here with Orange Cassidy. Cassidy is going to stand up to Moxley tonight and remove him from AEW
Match #2. MJF vs. Roderick Strong
MJF takes the mic and says he enjoyed not being around AEW while he was making millions shooting movies, kind of like how Roderick Strong’s mom shot his dad. Stiff.

Strong follows and brings MJF back in the ring. Sick kick by Strong!

Three amigos by Mone, who proceeds to dive off the top rope but Statlander catches her on her shoulders… F-5! Two count. Statlander goes up top, possibly thinking about the 450 splash. Statlander misses and lands hard on her injured knee. Mone sees blood in the water and just ground and pounds the knee, before hitting a frog splash to the knees! 2.9999. Backstabber by Mone. Two. Sit-out Gory Facebuster by Mone (I forgot what she calls it). One, two, no! Statlander somehow kicks out. Statlander counters a majistral cradle into a tombstone position, but Mone goes to the injured knee, biting it. Cazedora by Mone sends Statlander into the middle rope throat-first, and Mone rolls her up for the win.
Winner and STILL AEW TBS Champion: Mercedes Mone
Rating: ***3/4. Statlander gave Mone her best match since she’s joined AEW, by far. Mone is still struggling to connect, particularly in her promos, but when she’s got the right opponent, she can go. Jersey crowd loved Statlander here, too, which of course helped.
Match #4. Hangman Page vs. Jay White
Page sends White up and over and to the floor, causing him to land awkwardly on his ankle. Page sees that, and immediately focuses the attack on the ankle, stomping on it and wrapping it around the ringpost.

Rating: ***3/4. Another excellent match between those two, to the surprise of no one. Both guys dealt with injuries all match and it played nicely into the story. That’s five wins for White over Hangman.
After the match, Hangman follows Jay White up the ramp and blindsides him. Christopher Daniels tries to stop Page but he gets blasted with a right hand, too!
Match #5. Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis vs. Will Ospreay
Ospreay leaps over the steps, turns around, runs back, springboards off, and hurricanranas Fletcher!

The ring steps are right next to the apron, and Ospreay thinks about Stormbreaker, but Fletcher gets free and tombstones Ospreay FROM THE APRON TO THE STEEL STEPS! HOLY S. Fletcher drags Ospreay to the ring as he berates him. Running leg lariat in the corner and a piledriver to the knees, which he calls the Grimstone. That was brutal. OSpreay barely kicks out at 2.999. Fletcher telling Ospreay he’s got nothing left, as Ospreay has nothing left on his strikes. Lariat by Fletcher. Running boot in the corner to the back of the head by Fletcher. Running boot in the FACE to Ospreay. TOP ROPE BUCKLE BRAINBUSTER! ONE, TWO, THREE. WOW.
Winner: Kyle Fletcher
Rating: *****. A star is born. Just an unbelievable match that had too many kick outs, dangerous moves, blah blah blah blah. It was absolutely amazing. The crowd loved every minute of it, it told a great story and Will Ospreay just lost in the center of the ring, cleanly, to his former best friend who’s ONLY 25 YEARS OLD. Outstanding wrestling match and a company-shifting moment.
Mina Shirakawa is here and this is the champagne celebration! Mariah May says she stepped on and killed this entire division, because there’s not a single woman that could touch her. And Mina… we couldn’t have done it without you. Time for some champagne, baby. Mina toasts May and they both drink their glasses. It’s time for a celebration. Mina dances and Mariah May grabs a bottle of wine ready to hit her from behind, but Mina ducks. Mariah spits in her face and Mina tackles her off ramp and through a table. Mina may have lost a tooth in the skirmish, as she’s bleeding from the mouth, and she bleeds all over May’s face.
Match #6. AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry (c) vs. Daniel Garcia
Matt Menard has joined commentary for this. Had some problems with the feed, and I’m back with Daniel Garcia getting powerbombed through the timekeeper’s table from the announcer’s table. Garcia has a second wind! Lariat and a hair whip to Perry. Running boot in the corner. Another one. Broski boot! Butterfly suplex into the buckles by Garcia. Garcia wraps Perry’s hair around the ropes and dropkicks the back of his head. Garcia wants a piledriver but Perry backs him up to the corner and chops the chest. Garcia is put on the top turnbuckle and Perry follows him up. Perry lawndarts Garcia into the middle turnbuckle. Sit-out Burning Hammer by Perry! Two count. Perry goes to the timekeepers area and grabs the belt. Perry throws the title at the feet of Garcia and asks him to hit him. Garcia debates hitting Perry but he gives the referee the belt instead. Behind the referee’s back, Perry low blows Garcia. Regal Knee! Two count. Jackknife cover by Garcia after playing possum. Two count. Foot trapped piledriver by Garcia! Two count. Garcia with some brutal overhand chops to the chest of Perry and Perry opens his arms, waiting for whatever is next. Jumping piledriver by Garcia! DragonTamer by Garcia! Perry thinks about it.. and taps!
Winner and NEW TNT Champion: Daniel Garcia
Rating: ***1/4. Garcia is a great choice here, as I think Perry went as far as he could have with that title. I guess Garcia did re-sign with AEW, then? Either way the crowd was rebounding from Fletcher and Ospreay and picked this one up halfway through, but the home stretch was pretty darn good.
Match #7. AEW International Championship: Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Ricochet
Ricochet looks for a 619 early but Takeshita blocks it and big boots Ricochet hard to the floor. Irish whip sends Ricochet into the timekeepers table on the outside, before Takeshita back drops Ricochet on the corner of the barricade!

Lariat! One, two, no! Powerdrive knee by Takeshita gets another close two. Senton to the lower back of Ricochet, as Takeshita heads up top. Ricochet runs up and hurricanranas Takeshita off the top. Poisonrana! Shooting Star Press by Ricochet only gets two! Ricochet looks for Vertigo but he counters with the overhook tombstone! Enziguiri by Ricochet and a twisting brainbuster! Detonation kick by Ricochet! Two count. Ricochet heads up top again but Takeshita catches him. Knee to the face by Takeshita. Avalanche Falcon Arrow by Takeshita gets the win.
Winner and STILL AEW International Champion: Konosuke Takeshita
Rating: ***1/2. Big win for Takeshita here, as Ricochet takes his first loss in AEW. Fletcher and Ospreay have set a high bar for this PPV, and while this was a good match, I feel like it never got to the next level.
Match #8. Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana vs. Bobby Lashley w/ The Hurt Syndicate
Lashley dominates early. Dominator by Lashley! Two count. Hard Irish whip in the corner but Lashley runs into a pair of boots.

Spear through the guardrail! Lashley rolls Swerve back inside the ring and hits another spear! Lashley locks in the Hurt Lock and Swerve is out!
Winner: Bobby Lashley
Rating: **3/4. In all honesty, this wasn’t all that competitive, and that surprised me. Feels like a new era is starting here.
Shelton Benjamin returns to ringside and throws Prince Nana in the ring. Lashley locks Nana in the Hurt Lock! The Hurt Syndicate leave Swerve and Nana laying.
Match #9. AEW World Heavyweight Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Orange Cassidy
Moxley arrives in the parking lot with Claudio driving a truck… and Pac? Pac is wearing his gear. Amazing. The AEW World Heavyweight Championship is in a brieface, that was handcuffed to Marina, but it’s now given to the referee. Big fight feel here with the special intros. Cassidy interrupts Moxley’s introduction with a trio of Orange Punch’s and a suicide dive to the floor! Cassidy mounts Moxley on the announcer’s table and delivers some ground and pound. Moxley drops Cassidy on the barricade groin-first, and then throws him into the stands. Cassidy is back up trying to scratch and claw, but Moxley isn’t having it.

Cassidy is bleeding something fierce now, as Moxley continues to kick him in the face. Moxley tosses Cassidy to the outside, and directly into the barricade. Cassidy keeps waving Moxley on, however, and he continues to take his beating. Moxley digs his nails into the back of Cassidy, and Cassidy returns in kind. Cassidy comes off the top rope but Moxley catches him with an anti-air elbow to the ribs. Guillotine choke by Moxley but he’s forced to break the hold as Cassidy gets the ropes. Moxley thinks about a piledriver off the middle rope, but Cassidy throws him off and connects with a diving DDT! Satellite DDT by Cassidy! Cassidy thinks about an Orange Punch but Moxley is here with an Ace Crusher out of nowhere. Moxley thinks about Death Rider but Cassidy slaps him in the face. Both guys go back and forth in the middle of the ring and it’s time for the Orange kicks! Orange Punch! Two. Cazedora by Cassidy gets two. King Kong lariat by Moxley! Cassidy is up! Orange Punch! Beach Break! One, two, no! Pac and Claudio are slowly making their way down the ringside area. Both guys get on the apron but The Conglomeration are here and they fight them to the back! Rocky comes off the top with a plancha to everyone. Marinai Shafir is in the ring with the briefcase, but Willow Nightingale is back and she spears Marina! Cassidy has the briefcase and he cracks Moxley in the face with it! One, two, NO! Moxley falls into the corner and the referee comes to check on him, allowing Wheeler Yuta to sneak into the ring and connect with the Busaiku Knee. Death Rider by Moxley! One, two, three.
Winner and STILL AEW World Heavyweight Champion: Jon Moxley
Rating: ****. After all of the in-ring action we got tonight, this main event delivered both in the ring and in storyline. Moxley and company are out for destruction and it feels legitimately like AEW is trying to hold on to themselves. Cassidy was in trouble most of the match but never gave up, and we saw a different, more aggressive side of him that shows how much he cares about the company.
After the match, Wheeler Yuta has some sort of disinfectant chemicals and Moxley holds Cassidy’s mouth open. Wheeler pours it down Cassidy’s mouth and on his face!
Hangman Page is here and he lays out Wheeler Yuta with a chair. Page stares down Moxley… and here’s Christian Cage! Cage hits the Killswitch on Moxley. Cage thinks about cashing in his contract, but here’s Jay White to lay Christian out with the Bladerunner. The DeathRiders pull Moxley out and retreat to safety. The DeathRiders try to get in their track but a random car plows through it, and they’ve stolen another car. It’s Darby Allin! Darby destroys The DeathRiders truck with a skateboard as we go off the air.
Final Thoughts: Kyle Fletcher and Will Ospreay. Wow. That match absolutely stole the show and launched Kyle Fletcher into the stratosphere. Bobby Lashley defeating Swerve as easily as he did… also surprising. The Hurt Syndicate have a very bright future in AEW and they seem like the top dogs right now. The main event was very good, as was the ensuing angle, despite getting somewhat jumbled we immediately have a new cast of characters in the main event. While nothing at all on this show was bad, I was underwhelmed by the tag match as well as Takeshita and Ricochet, and MJF/Strong. The show moved fast though, for four hours, I will say that. 8.5/10.Â
