Cole grabs the ring but MJF kicks him low and hits the Heatseeker. This one’s over.
Winner: MJF
Rating: ***. Lots of story here and I kind of hope this is the end of it. I’m a huge fan of both of these guys and the match was pretty good, I just don’t think it clicked as well as they were hoping.
MJF rolls outside and gets a chair, wrapping it around Cole’s leg. MJF exclaims he’s going to break his f’ing leg, but Roderick Strong makes the save. MJF bails and Kyle O’Reilly is here at the top of the ramp to bring MJF back to the ring. MJF is now stuck between Stong and O’Reilly… Total Elimination (kind of)!

Winner and STILL AEW Continental Champion and 2024 Continental Classic Champion: Kazuchika Okada
Rating: ****1/2. Unbelievable match. Will Ospreay came into the match injured, it played into the entire match, it made sense. Great professional wrestling, great storytelling.
Christopher Daniels is on the top of the ramp and congratulates Okada on his victory. Daniels says as of today, he’s no longer an EVP for All Elite Wrestling. But this man is.
IT’S KENNY OMEGA! Omega takes the Continental Championship and walks it down the ring, presents it to Okada, who then holds it over his head.

Busaiku knee by Yuta to White and Death Rider finishes this one.
Winner and STILL AEW World Heavyweight Champion: Jon Moxley
Rating: **1/4. This was a miss for me. Seems like the match was just there to get to the main event angle… which isn’t something you’d want to feel on a show you spent money on. They’d have been better off making this a Blood & Guts match so Jay White didn’t have to get pinned.
After the match, Yuta is putting the boots to Jay White and Claudio brings a chair to the ring. FTR are here to make the save and they stand on the ramp.
Lights go out.
RATED FTR! ADAM COPELAND IS BACK! All three guys hit the ring and it’s a brawl. Shatter Machine to Yuta! Copeland and Moxley stand eye-to-eye! Spear by Copeland! Christian is in the crowd and he does NOT look happy. Copeland locks in the crossface with a piece of chair in the mouth! Yuta pulls Moxley to safety as Copeland grabs the mic. Copeland calls Moxley “kid” and tells him he was growing pubes when Copeland was winning titles. This Wednesday at Fight for the Fallen.. Moxley and crew vs. RatedFTR!
Final Thoughts: The streak of delivering, or over-delivering on PPV, continues for AEW. Will people complain it’s a long show? Of course. By now we know the show is going to run four hours, but tonight didn’t feel like it. Opening up with Ospreay and Fletcher was diabolical, but it set the tone for an amazing night of wrestling. Ospreay had to be the MVP, delivering two great matches parsed throughout tonight’s show. Seriously, watch them both. Mercedes Mone and Kris Statlander ran it back and somehow topped their previous match. The main event fell flat for me but the angle afterward was interesting. Oh, and we got Kenny Omega back? Whooo. 8.5/10.Â
