Match #1. Trios Match: The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass vs. LFI

Vance in with a fall away slam that sends Caster into Daddy Ass, who gets the tag. Fall away slam now by Billy and a pair of scoop slams. Billy looks for Scissor Me, Timbers, but Rush breaks it up and a brawl officially breaks out. Caster now alone in the ring with LFI and gets a triple boot beat down.

Discus lariat to Billy and Caster breaks it up. Springboard Code Breaker to Bowens from Dralistico but Bowens comes back The Arrival before tagging Caster who drops the mic for the win.
Rating: *3/4. Not very good here. The crowd was hot for The Acclaimed but it was a bunch of punch and kick spots until the finish.
After the match, Bowens seemingly accepts the Open House Challenge for the AEW World Trios Championship.

Quick tags. Knee lift and lariat combo by The Gunns. Page in now but gets a jawbreaker for his trouble and #2 is tagged in. #2 clears the ring with right hands but Page floors him with a right of his own. Page with an iconoclasm before sending #2 into a 3D Flatliner and that’s it.

All of the members of the Blackjack Battle Royal are waiting in the crowd at this point. Moriarty hits a big boot to Trent on the apron but Chuck catches him with the short piledriver. Big Bill with a big boot and a chokeslam finishes this one!
Winners: Big Bill & Lee Moriarty
Rating: **1/2. Bit of an upset here, but nice to see Bill and Moriarty get a win after a lengthy losing streak and make a very formidable team.
All of the men in the battle royal hit the ring and a pull apart brawl breaks out to end the show. Orange Cassidy’s music hits and he makes the save, but Brian Cage and the Natural Nightmare’s follow and the brawl continues. Swerve is here too, watching intently.
Final Thoughts: As a go-home show, not great. Rampage is clearly the B-show, but AEW needs to do better to make it feel important… period. The matches were absolutely average at best and with such a deep roster, it needs to be better. 5/10.
