The remaining stretch of the Buy In was dedicated to the entrances for our first match, so let’s get things underway!
AEW International Championship No. 1 Contender 6-Way Ladder Match: The Beast Mortos vs. El Clon vs. Mike Bailey vs. Jack Perry vs. Komander vs. Nick Wayne
With everyone else going at it outside the ring, Speedball and Komander trade offense inside until Nick Wayne gets involved, sending them out. Jack Perry comes in, sending Wayne out of the ring only to be intercepted by El Clon. The luchador gets taken to the mat, but pops back up for a Pele kick on the former Jungle Boy.
In comes Mortos who clears Perry out of the ring as well as Clon. He grabs a nearby ladder and sets it up, only for Speedball and Komander to fend him off. They rush up the ladder but are knocked down by The Beast, who props the ladder up in the corner. Speedball is back on his feet for some chops, but gets sent to the corner before Morto hoists him up for a press slam onto the ladder!
Mortos continues the attack by going after Komander, dropping him with a splash before Clon sends him away. Clon sets Komander against the laid-out ladder for a splash of his own, forcing him out of the ring as well. Perry catches Clon with a modified monkey flip into the corner, setting the ladder up after before Nick Wayne rushes in to get the jump on him.
He follows up with a dive onto Komander on the outside, but as he gets on his feet he takes a headbutt by The Beast…allowing Clon to use him as a platform for a DDT sending Wayne to the floor! As this goes on, Bailey goes for a springboard moonsault while Perry slides through the ropes. The crowd pops as Bailey heads up the ramp, looking to grab the tallest ladder…but Perry intercepts him!
The crowd don’t appreciate their hometown hero being blindsided as the rest of the field heads to the stage for a brawl. As this goes on, Bailey climbs the ladder and hits a moonsault on everyone but Jack…who follows up with a moonsault of his own! He lands on his feet, bringing the ladder back to the ring before Bailey catches up with him on the apron.
Jack sends Speedball down hard, forcing him to the floor before setting the ladder up inside the ring. He gets intercepted by Mortos, who sends him over the top rope to the rest of the competitors who have returned to ringside. As the Beast starts to climb the ladder himself, Komander intercepts him with a tight rope dropkick!
He sets the ladder up on the big man to keep him grounded as he makes a climb, but the ladder is off center so he has to reach back to get his fingers on the contract. Mortos tries to push the ladder off him and Komander sees Bailey and Wayne coming in, so he does a tornillo to drop them to the mat instead. This allows Mortos to break free, fighting the three of them off before setting the ladder back up.
The rest of the field has set up two other chairs on the sides, and all six of them go at it on the top of each ladder…until Mortos forces them all off and out of the ring! The Beast is favoring his knee as he slowly starts to climb back up, and this allows Perry to slide back into the ring and send him to the ropes instead.
Perry slides under the ring, pulling out three tables as Wayne grabs one of them for himself. The tables get set up as Perry fends off El Clon, while Komander attacks Wayne on the other side. Perry goes back into the ring to sort out the ladders, but gets intercepted by Mortos…only to set him up for a headscissors that sends The Beast through a table! Clon follows up with a splash sending Bailey through another table, and Komander walks the ropes for a spaceman leap sending Wayne through the third table!
Perry back in the ring now, but so are Komander and Clon. Perry knocks them back but Mortos is back in as well now, setting him up for a powerbomb onto a ladder in the corner. He runs the ropes to go after Clon, but the big man gets caught with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker instead! Clon uses the standing ladder to prop the other one up, but as he climbs the standing ladder Komander hops onto the impromptu platform.
They fight back and forth until Clon sends Kmoander on a ride to the canvas, forcing him to roll out of the ring from the impact. Wayne blindsides Clon before setting him up on another table, looking for some revenge as he climbs a ladder on the outside…and lands a Phoenix Splash sending Clon through the table!
Back in the ring, Perry ascends the ladder and reaches for the contract before Wayne intercepts him. They trade shots before Perry sets Nick up for a Canadian Destroyer onto the ladder platform to a big pop from the crowd. Speedball has returned to the ring, where he props a ladder between the turnbuckles before Mortos comes after him. He catches the Beast by surprise, landing a shooting star double knee dropping Mortos hard.
Bailey gets the ladder in the middle set back up, and quickly makes his ascension to grab the contract for the win!
Winner and new International Title No. 1 Contender: “Speedball” Mike Bailey
The crowd is electric for Bailey as he celebrates the win. He heads up the ramp with the contract in hand before we go to a video package hyping up our next match, as The Young Bucks face the Death Riders pairing of Jon Moxley and…Will Ospreay!? (Still feels weird to me, lol)
Back at ringside, The Young Bucks make their entrance to a nice reaction from the crowd. Out next are Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay, and it seems that the duo are on firmly the same page tonight as they come out through the crowd together. They head to the ring to another good reaction (tho it feels like they didn’t want a big sing-song hence no Ospreay theme lol), and the pair enter the ring to get this match underway!
Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay)
We start off with Nick Jackson and Will Ospreay, the latter getting Nick to the ropes before making a break. Nick tries to get some offense in but is taken to the corner, only to turn things around for a rope walk arm drag and a dropkick. Crowd pops as he gets back to his feet, getting Matt in on the action from a tag for a leg lariat before the Bucks go after Mox and force him back out of the ring just as quickly.
They set Ospreay up in the corner and Nick tags back in for a leg drop and a nearfall. He gets sent to the corner by Ospreay who kicks his way out. Nick’s feeling wobbly as he tags Matt back in, who goes after Ospreay before noticing that Nick is really out of it. He leaves the ring and encourages Nick to have a seat as Mox instructs Ospreay to go after Matt with a cross body. He asks the ref to check on Nick, and Mox is not vibing with this as he tells Ospreay to get back into the match itself.
The hesitation allows Matt to take control for a moment before Will sends him out of the ring, where Mox starts to get a few shots in before a ref distraction allows Shafir to lay him out. With that, Ospreay brings Matt back into the ring for some more shots and a tag to Mox. Jon lands some chops before tagging Ospreay back in as we see Nick get back to the apron. Ospreay continues the attack on Matt before Mox tags back in for a nearfall.
He goes to work on Matt’s neck before tagging in Ospreay for a double-team. Matt reaches for a tag but is pulled away from the corner. He rolls away to go for the tag but Mox pulls Nick off the apron, setting him up for a Gotch style piledriver sending Nick to the floor! Back in the ring, Ospreay continues to wear Matt down before cinching in the Death Ground.
Matt is able to slip free enough to force Will to change his strategy, and this allows Matt a chance to fight back. He reaches for a tag to Nick but is once again pulled away by Ospreay, who sends him to the ropes…only for Matt to take him down hard to the canvas! Nick is hesitant for a moment before reaching out, yelling for the tag from Matt.
Nick fires up as he sends Ospreay and Mox to the mat before tagging Matt back in, and they set up for an MMMBop Drop before Nick lands a dive on Mox to the outside. This allows Matt to drop Ospreay for a nearfall. Nick tags back in but the Death Riders take control here, with a combo piledriver and Styles Clash keeping the Bucks down before Nick kicks out at two from a Ospreay cover. Ospreay sends Matt to the outside for a tornillo as Mox lays out Nick with a running lariat. Mox back on his feet as he goes for a bulldog choke, but Nick backs him up to the corner instead.
Ospreay comes flying into the ring but collides with Mox by mistake, allowing the Bucks to regain control. They take out Ospreay before looking for More Bang for Your Buck on Mox, only for Ospreay to intervene. This ends in a series of Destroyers between the Bucks and Ospreay, and the Bucks look for a BTE Trigger on Mox…only for Ospreay to come running in with a Hidden Blade! Nick backs up into the corner as Ospreay tags back in, and Nick is shaky as he gets to his feet but refuses to tag out as he and Will trade shots.
Ospreay bypasses Nick for a set of thrust kicks. Nick drops to the mat as Ospreay lands a lunging elbow. Mox shows his approval as the ref checks on Nick. Will starts to do some more shots on Nick who looks to be completely out of it. Matt intervenes as he covers his brother, but Mox tags himself in before sending Matt out of the ring. He covers Nick for a pin, but only gets two as Nick kicks out.
Mox goes for a bulldog choke, telling Nick to quit…but Nick gets to the ropes instead! Ospreay starts to get involved but finds himself dealing with Matt. Matt goes for a superkick but Shafir gets in the line of fire instead! Back in the ring, Mox lands a series of Paradigm Shift DDTs before heading out of the ring for a chair.
The ref tries to intervene but gets shoved away. Mox looks to attack Nick with the chair…but Ospreay stops him! He doesn’t want to go this route against the Bucks, who respond with a superkick on Will to lay him out. They land a BTE Trigger on Mox, who fires back up with a middle finger for them…only to realize that Ospreay isn’t there to save him. This pause allows the Bucks to fire off several superkicks before getting the cover for the win.
Winners via pinfall: The Young Bucks
Bucks leave the ring to celebrate as Ospreay looks distraught over what went down. With that, we go to a video package hyping up the International Championship between Kyle Fletcher and Bandido, with everyone banned from ringside!
Back at ringside, Bandido makes his entrance for our next match. Kyle Fletcher comes out to the stage alongside Don Callis, who hugs it out with the champ before making his way to the back. Fletcher heads to the ring, and we get this match underway!
AEW International Championship Match: Kyle Fletcher defends against Bandido
Kyle mouths off with his challenger before landing some hard shots, only for Bandido to fight back. He counters out of a sheer drop brainbuster and rolls the champ for a nearfall. Fletcher leaves the ring, letting out some frustration over how close that was before taking a hydration break at the timekeeper section while the ref’s count goes on.
He calls for a tie up but blindsides the luchador with a big boot instead. He sends Bandido to the ropes, but the challenger fights him off to force Fletcher to the outside. Bandido hits the ropes for speed but runs into a slam by the champ instead, who poses to mock the crowd. He stomps away at the challenger some more before mocking the crowd once again, who are chanting “f–k you Fletcher” at him.
This allows Bandido to get back to his feet, but Kyle keeps him on the ropes…until Bandido brings him on a one-way trip to the outside! Fletcher back to his feet but takes a knee strike from the apron, only to intercept the challenger on his way to the floor! He sets Bandido up for a powerbomb onto the apron, flipping off the crowd as he walks away. The ref begins the count anew as Fletcher gets into the ring, and the challenger gets back in at six.
Fletcher intercepts him for a cover and a nearfall. He transitions to a full nelson, swinging the luchador around before cinching in a bodyscissor on the canvas. Bandido struggles for a bit before getting a boot on the rope for a break. The champ pokes some more fun at the crowd as Bandido gets back to his feet for a couple shots, only to be taken to the mat by a big boot from Fletcher. Some more clubbing strikes keeps the challenger grounded…until he hoists Kyle up and over for a suplex!
Fletcher retreats to the corner for a breather, only for Bandido to follow up with a cross body. He sends the champ to the ropes before lifting him up for a press slam onto the mat to a big pop. Bandido goes up for a big frog splash and the cover, but it’s only good for two. Bandido looks for another one but the champ intercepts him on the turnbuckle. Bandido slips out as he looks for another press slam, but Fletcher breaks free for a lariat on the apron. He quickly follows up with a sheer drop brainbuster sending the luchador onto the hardest part of the ring before Bandido falls to the floor.
Ref checks on the challenger as Fletcher slides back into the ring, and this allows the ref to begin the count. Bandido is slow to his feet as the ref reaches seven, gaining some moral support from a fan in the front row before sliding into the ring at nine. Fletcher intercepts him for a Liger bomb that gets another close nearfall…but as the champ goes for more damage he gets caught for a German suplex by Bandido instead!
Kyle does everything he can to break free as Bandido transitions to a full nelson, being sent toward the ropes…and this allows him to land a 21 Dragonplex on the champ for a two count! Kyle starts to fight back as the challenger sends him to the ropes, and Bandido catches him with a big sunset powerbomb despite the champ’s best efforts to block it.
Bandido gets back into the ring, setting himself on the top turnbuckle for a frog splash onto Fletcher on the floor! He struggles back to his feet to bring the champ back into the ring, giving a nod to Eddie Guerrero before shifting to a shooting star press…but Fletcher kicks out at two, saving the match and his title!
Kyle using the ropes to get up, and Bandido goes for a 21 Plex only for the champ to block it. They trade thrust kicks before Bandido hits the ropes for a headscissors into a DDT. Both men are down as the ref begins a standing count. This ends when he tells Fletcher to let go of his foot, before the champ and challenger trade headbutts while on their knees. Forearm by Fletcher as he gets to his feet, yelling at Bandido who fires back with another headbutt.
He hoists Fletcher up for an X-Knee but Fletcher blocks it. He absorbs a few shots from the challenger before dropping him to the canvas with a boot. He heads to the corner, dropping a knee pad for a running knee strike…but Bandido counters, slamming him to the mat for a two count instead! Bandido is up first as he brings Kyle to the corner for some chops. He props the champ up on the turnbuckle but Fletcher fights back. They trade shots until Bandido is able to drop Kyle to the mat with a blockbuster, but it’s only good for two.
Bandido’s back up as he sets Kyle up for a X-Knee, followed by a 21 Plex! He’s got the shoulders down for the count…and the champ manages to kick out! Ref begins a new standing count as Bandido gets back up, going after Fletcher with some hard right hands. The champ crawls to the ropes, which gives Bandido an idea to go for the basement 21 Plex…only to run into a forearm by the champ! He gives a nod to his former friend Takeshita with a Power Drive Knee followed by the sheer drop brainbuster for the cover…and this time it’s Bandido who narrowly kicks out!
Fletcher brings the challenger to the corner for a brainbuster, but is cut off by Bandido. Fletcher blocks a blockbuster, and when Bandido charges back at him he gets caught for an avalanche Michinoku Driver by the champ for a nearfall. Fletcher pushes through, setting Bandido up for a turnbuckle brainbuster for the win.
Winner via pinfall and still AEW International Champion: Kyle Fletcher
Callis heads to the ring to celebrate with his charge as we are reminded that “Speedball” Mike Bailey earned the right to challenge from winning earlier tonight. Fletcher continues to celebrate before leaving the ring with Don. With that, we go to a video package hyping up tonight’s Double Chain match between the Bang Bang Gang and The Dogs!
Back at ringside, The Dogs make their entrance first before the Bang Bang Gang get a big pop from the crowd on their way out. The refs start to attach the chains but The Dogs get the jump on their opponents! Connors and Finlay lay into the Gang before attaching the chains themselves to get this match underway!
Double Chain Tag Team Match: Bang Bang Gang (Jay White and Juice Robinson) vs. The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay)
They continue the beatdown until Jay and Juice turn things around, taking both Dogs down with a set of chain-assisted lariats They send their opponents over the top rope to the outside, sliding underneath the ropes to pull the Dogs into the ring apron before continuing to fire off shots. Jay pulls Finlay in for a shot from Robinson before the Switchblade whips him with the chain itself. Another shot and the Gang slide back into the ring to get the chains back in proper position…and to go for a double dive onto The Dogs!
They prop Clark and David against the barricade for some more shots, but the Dogs turn things around as they start laying into the Gang instead. Finlay drops White to the floor before helping Connors beat up Robinson. Connors sends Juice into the ring steps, before both Dogs bring their opponents back in the ring.
Clark continues to beat down on Robinson to boos from the crowd. Jay starts to fight back as Connors wraps the chain around the ring post to aid in choking Juice out. This continues until Jay starts beating up Finlay…and Clark can’t intervene because of the lack of slack in his chain! Instead he has to run around the post to loosen the chain again, and this allows the Gang to, uh, gang up on him for some hard shots dropping him to the mat.
Jay gets to his feet for a uranage on Finlay and the cover, but only gets a two count. Jay tries to get some more damage in until Connors fends off Robinson, allowing him to aid Finlay in sending Jay to the outside. Connors wraps the chain around the throat of Robinson, choking him out some more as White slides back into the ring…but the chain is caught up in the ropes, allowing Finlay to stop him from breaking the submission.
Jay finally realizes one upside to this, as he uses both hands to pull the chain and draw Finlay close to him. He sends Finlay away and gets the chain untangled, allowing him to stop the submission and land a snap sleeperplex on Connors. White goes for a Blade Runner, but is pulled out of the ring by Finlay instead. The Dogs land a high-low on him for a nearfall, before looking for a Full Clip…but Robinson intervenes!
He gets knocked down before Connors gets onto the turnbuckle. He gets sent onto the ring steps, allowing Jay to go after Finlay with a Blade Runner. He wraps the chain around the throat of Finlay for a Cutthroat Suplex, and he and Juice take turns whipping David’s back with the chains. Jay looks to finish things off before Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia come in for an assist. This is equalized by the arrival of the Gunn Club, but Shafir slides a shillelagh into the ring…and Finlay levels Robinson with it for the win!
Winners via pinfall: The Dogs
The Dogs celebrate their win as we cut backstage, where Will Ospreay is asked about the situation with Nick Jackson. He addresses Nick’s history of neck problems and how he wasn’t sure he wanted to exploit that, something that frustrates Jon Moxley greatly as he runs Ospreay down for being too hesitant. He’d hate for Will to learn a harsh lesson about not pulling the trigger, and the Death Rider walks off as we go to a video package hyping up the TBS Championship match as Hikaru Shida defends against Maya World!
We head back to ringside as Maya World makes her entrance, ready to challenge for the TBS Championship. Out next is the champion as Hikaru Shida heads to the ring to get this match underway!
TBS Championship Match: Hikaru Shida defends against Maya World
The pair circle the ring before locking up, with Shida being sent to the ring…where she drops the challenger with a shoulder tackle on the rebound. World fights back for an arm drag but Shida sends her out of the ring for her trouble. Shida goes after the challenger, who turns it around by bringing Hikaru back into the ring.
She sets the champ up on the turnbuckle before charging at her, only for Shida to catch her with a modified stretch muffler in the ropes before the ref intervenes. She follows Maya to the corner for some punches…just kidding, she takes a bite out of Maya’s head instead! Maya drops to the mat before the champ gets back down as well.
Shida attacks the knee of the challenger, driving it into the canvas before Maya fights back from the ropes for a headscissors. Shida fires back however, setting up a cradle for two. She waits for Maya to get on her feet on the apron before pulling her to the corner…but Maya goes for a sunset flip! Shida blocks it and takes the challenger off her feet with a missile dropkick for a nearfall.
Maya starts to fight back now, landing a double stomp on the champ though she is favoring her knee after the fact. She gets to the corner before landing a lunging kick and an enziguri, but the injury slows her down as Shida sends her to the corner. Maya fights back with a kick before getting on the middle turnbuckle for a moonsault and a two count.
Shida manages to take the challenger down to the mat, cinching in a single leg crab focused on the injured knee. Maya tries to break free and Shida finally lets go, only to go up top for a Meteora. She cradles World up and gets a nearfall, only for Maya to counter a body slam. This leads to a series of nearfalls between both women, before they get to their feet…and send each other to the mat!
Ref starts the count until Maya gets to her feet, catching the champ with a Shining Wizard. She gets back up for another one, dropping a knee pad for the final wizard…but can’t make the cover due to her knee. This allows Shida to leave the ring, looking to use her kendo stick on the challenger…but Maya fires back, bringing Shida back into the ring instead. She goes for a moonsault but takes a boot to the face by Shida, who lands the Kitana for a cover of her own…only for the challenger to get a shoulder up at two!
Maya starts to fight back, nearly taking the champ off her game until Shida lands a moonsault for another nearfall. Knee strike by Shida before she goes for the TBS Lock, but Maya fights it off enough for the champ to change things up with a suplex. Running knee strike but Shida isn’t done, hitting another knee…and a third one for good measure!
Ref intervenes to check on the challenger, but Shida shoves him away for a Falcon Arrow. She gets the cover, but Maya manages to grab the bottom rope for the break! Shida celebrates thinking she’s won, but the ref is letting her know that isn’t the case…and the confusion allows Maya to roll her up for the win!
Winner via pinfall and new TBS Champion: Maya World
Maya celebrates the win while Shida throws a fit at ringside, before we head backstage where The Demand address the World Trios Champions after the Buy In match tonight, promising they’ll take the titles away the first chance they get.
They cut their catchphrase to end things, and we head to a video package hyping the World Tag Team Championship match as Cage & Cope defend against the Death Riders pairing of PAC and Claudio Castagnoli.
Back at ringside, Adam Copeland makes his entrance to a big pop from the crowd, who begin singing along as Cope enters the ring…only to be blindsided by PAC and Claudio! This continues until Cage runs out for the save! They brawl it out until Cage gets sent to the ramp, and the Death Riders bring Cope to the ring. Adam is wobbly as he gets to his feet, but he insists he’s good to go as the bell rings to get things underway!
AEW World Tag Team Championship Match: Cage & Cope (Christian Cage and Adam Copeland) defends against Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and PAC)
PAC starts things off for his team as he continues to lay into Copeland, while we see Cage finally get back to ringside. Tag made to Claudio who lays in a hard strike on Cope. The beatdown continues as PAC tags back in for some stomps. Crowd is booing loud as PAC attacks Adam’s face in the ropes, before the ref intervenes.
PAC backs off just enough to go back after the champ, bringing him back to the corner for a tag to Claudio. He starts targeting Copeland’s arm now, wrenching it before Adam gets back to his feet…only for Castagnoli to lock in a sleeper hold! Cope slips out, countering with one of his own before Claudio drops him with a back suplex.
Claudio looks for a Neutralizer before Cope breaks free, hitting the ropes…and running into a double down as both men drop to the canvas! Claudio gets to his feet for a tag to PAC, but Cage also gets the tag as he sends PAC into the corner for some punches and a headbite. PAC breaks free, only to take a DDT to the mat for a nearfall from Cage. He fends off Claudio before setting PAC up on the ropes, leaping over the top for a slap in the face on PAC!
He sends PAC onto Claudio before bringing PAC back into the ring for a flying headbutt and a two count. Cage waits in the corner for a spear, but Claudio blocks it long enough for PAC to charge at him. Tag made to Claudio, who lands some hard strikes in the corner before biting Cage’s head in retaliation. Christian tries to fight back as PAC makes a blind tag, where a superplex by Cage means nothing as PAC gets the drop on him for two.
The beatdown continues as PAC wears Cage down some more before Claudio comes in for a tag. Double team leads to a nearfall, but Claudio follows up with a Hart Family shoutout in the form of a Sharpshooter on Christian! He brings Cage closer to the center, cinching the hold in tight. Cope slides into the ring to build up speed, but Castagnoli breaks his own hold in order to force Adam to the outside. PAC sets him up on the guardrail before tagging in, and Claudio comes running around the ring for an uppercut on Cope!
PAC with a Black Arrow on Cage, who narrowly kicks out to save the match for himself. Claudio comes back into the ring for a tag, and sets Cage up for a giant swing into a dropkick by PAC. Cover by Claudio but it’s only good for two. They look to gang up on Cage again before Cope comes back to ringside.
Claudio tags out to go after Copeland, who drops him to the floor while Cage drops PAC with a Killswitch for a two count. Cope gets to the apron for a tag, where he fires off on PAC and a returning Castagnoli. Claudio in the corner as Adam launches PAC into him, dropping both men with an Impaler before covering PAC for a nearfall as Claudio breaks it up.
Claudio gets sent to the outside before Cope gets rolled up by PAC, who holds the ropes for leverage and gets a nearfall. PAC argues with the ref about this before Cope fires back, sending him to the corner for a spear…but PAC dodges it! Claudio is back and they double team Cope with a spike Neutralizer!
PAC goes for the cover…and Cage breaks the pin just in time! Claudio sends him out of the ring as PAC looks to go after Cope…who counters into a Grindhouse crossface! Claudio starts to slide back in but is kept back by Cage for a moment. He kicks Cage away and breaks the hold, and the Death Riders take control until Cage spears Claudio. He stands the challenger up for a spear by Cope, and the champs retain!
Winners via pinfall and still AEW World Tag Team Champions: Cage & Cope
The celebration is cut short as the Young Bucks make their way out, confronting the champions. We get a graphic confirming that the two teams will face off at All In, with handshakes all around except for Cage. From there, we go to a video package hyping up the No Holds Barred Match that pits the “Psycho Killer” Tommaso Ciampa against the “Painmaker” Jericho!
Back at ringside, Tommaso Ciampa makes his entrance for our next match. This is followed by the arrival of The Painmaker (who I will still be occasionally calling Jericho during this recap, sorry Painmaker) with a barbed wire baseball bat while Ciampa leaves to the outside before we get this match underway!
No Holds Barred Match: “The Painmaker” Chris Jericho vs. Tommaso Ciampa
Ciampa brags a chair on his way back into the ring, and they swing their respective weapons…and Ciampa wins out, forcing Jericho to drop the bat. Painmaker fires back by grabbing a bag from under the ring, unveiling a handful of pocket sand shades of Beach Break! This throws Ciampa off his game until he fires back, dropping Jericho to the floor. He walks around the ring, revealing a table that he sets up before going back after the Painmaker…who blinds him with a shot from a fire extinguisher!
With the damage done, he brings Ciampa back into the ring before slamming the chair against his back. Ciampa is on the apron as Jericho brings him to his feet, but Tommaso fights back to land a Tiger Driver sending the Painmaker through the table! It looks like he hit his leg on the table, but he shakes it off as he brings Jericho back into the ring for a two count. He sets the chair up in the corner before leaving the ring for more plunder, pulling out a trashcan and a hockey stick to the delight of the crowd.
“Ole” chants break out as he uses the stick on Jericho’s mouth, sending him to the outside before pulling out a Boston Bruins jersey from the trashcan. This gets some heat from the crowd as he also pulls out a plushie of the Canadiens mascot, beating it up with the hockey stick before landing a “backstabber” on the toy.
He calls for the ref to count the pin, but this gets broken up by Jericho…who lays out Ciampa before unveiling a bag full of hockey pucks and thumbtacks! He drops Ciampa down hard but only gets a two count. He pulls the jersey off Ciampa before going back to the bag, pulling out a sandpaper tool that he grinds against the face of Ciampa! Ciampa is busted open as Jericho tosses the Bruins jersey into the trashcan.
He leaves the ring again, this time carefully pulling the barbed wire table out and setting it up. He gets back into the ring, not seeing Ciampa grabbing the trashcan that gets sent into the Painmaker’s face! Ciampa empties the can before using a tacked-up puck against the face of Jericho, eventually going for a cover and another nearfall.
Ciampa grabs another bag from under the ring, revealing an elbow pad with thumbtacks on it. He doesn’t get to use it as Jericho drops him for the Walls onto the tacks, only for Tommaso to grab the barbed wire bat against his back to force a break. Jericho gets the advantage once again as he sends up sending Ciampa over the top rope and through the barbed wire table on the outside…and then brings him back into the ring for a two count.
He sets Ciampa in a tree of woe in the corner before grabbing what looks like “a pencil” (or an icepick, I dunno for sure) to jab Ciampa in the thigh. He leaves the ring for another weapon, this time a mirror that he brings back into the ring. He uses a couple chairs to prop the mirror up, before jabbing Ciampa in the forehead with whatever object he had before. Tommaso breaks free and sends Jericho crashing through the mirror with a Psycho Driver, slowly making a cover for a two count (and seven years of bad luck, probably).
Ref checks on the Painmaker while Ciampa leaves the ring once more, this time pulling out a drill with a long bit. He gets back in the ring, but before he can use the drill he gets caught with a spray of green mist by Jericho! Judas Effect connects, but it’s only good for a nearfall as Ciampa narrowly kicks out.
Jericho leaves the ring, grabbing a barbed wire mirror with his name and facepaint on it before getting back into the ring…cracking the mirror over the back of Ciampa (and also garnering seven years of bad luck, I’m sure)! He grabs the drill, just barely getting to use it on the head of Ciampa who taps out to end the match!
Winner via submission: “The Painmaker” Chris Jericho
Painmaker celebrates on the outside as we cut backstage, where Mick Foley starts to interview Divine Dominion. They tell him to have a seat as they address the lack of competition, only for Foley to point out they haven’t faced the Brawling Birds yet. They talk about how they will dominate the Birds, before saying that Foley can make like the rest of them and bow down. This, unfortunately, leads to an awkward moment where Foley “bow wows” like a dog, looking very uncomfortable as he throws it back to ringside.
We get a video package hyping up the AEW National Title match that sees Mark Davis defend against Andrade El Idolo, and then head back to ringside where Andrade makes his entrance with some lovely ladies. This is followed by the arrival of Mark Davis, and the champ gets to the ring before we get things underway!
AEW National Championship Match: Mark Davis defends against Andrade El Idolo
Andrade blindsides the champ with Dia de los Muertos and a cover, but Davis manages to kick out to save his title. He fends off a DM to go for a rear naked choke, but the challenger shakes him off before turning things around with some hard strikes. He brings El Idolo back to his feet for a chop, forcing him to the corner for some more damage.

He takes the champ to the mat but Davis kicks out pretty quick before rolling out of the ring. He dodges a dive attempt by Andrade, who takes him down with a headscissors to the floor!
He celebrates with fans in the front row before taking a selfie with one of them. He also takes a drink offered by a fan…but he uses that to spit in the face of Davis! This only riles the champ up as he fires back with some shots on El Idolo before bringing him back into the ring. He hits the ropes for a lunging forearm, pulling Andrade in for a cover and a nearfall.
Andrade gets caught in the ropes as the champ cinches in a leg bar against the ropes before the ref intervenes. He brings El Idolo back into the ring, stomping away at the leg for more damage. He goes to work on the neck and head now, with Andrade starting to get back up before the champ drops him back to the canvas.
Both men are on their feet now, trading strikes until Andrade can take Dunkzilla down hard with a crossbody off the ropes. He kips back up as Davis retreats to the corner, setting him up for a running knees…only for Davis to lay him out with a lariat!

Winner via pinfall and new AEW National Champion: Andrade El Idolo
Andrade celebrates in the ring and then around ringside with some fans, before we head backstage for some words from “Speedball” Mike Bailey. He addresses becoming the No. 1 Contender for the International Championship…and since it IS the International Championship, he calls his shot for August 5 at AEW Grand Slam Mexico!
With that we get a video package hyping the AEW Women’s World Championship on the line, as Thekla defends the title against Willow Nightingale…with the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament winner Mercedes Moné keeping a close eye on who she’ll face at All In!
We head back to ringside as Willow Nightingale makes her entrance, followed by Thekla. We get ring introductions for both women with Mercedes Moné literally watching on from somewhere up high before we get this match underway!
AEW Women’s World Championship Match: Thekla defends against Willow Nightingale
Willow charges at the champ for a Lou Thesz press, really taking the fight to Thekla before the champ fights back. This doesn’t last long as Willow catches her with a pounce sending the Toxic Spider to the outside…and sends the champ into the barricade before breaking the ref’s count. She pulls Thekla away for a suplex before propping her against the ring steps…but the champ dodges at the last second, causing Nightingale to crash with a thud.
This gives Thekla an opening as she brings Willow back into the ring, tearing at the bandage covering Willow’s stitched-up ear to draw blood. She lands some more shots including a thrust kick, dropping the challenger for a nearfall.
Willow barely gets a chance to get up before the champ gets a modified Rings of Saturn on her…but Willow breaks the hold by biting Thekla’s fingers! She uses the ropes to get to her feet before Thekla catches her, but the challenger responds with a lariat slamming Thekla on the apron. She pulls the champ back into the ring by her ear before slamming her to the mat. Thekla heads to the corner but takes a shoulder tackle by Willow, who sends the champ across the ring for some more shots in the opposite corner.
She takes Thekla down with a dropkick, bringing the Toxic Spider back up only for Thekla to start fighting back. This comes to a halt when Willow drops the champ down hard, only for Thekla to clench a flying octopus hold of sorts on the challenger…who counters with a backbreaker slamming Thekla to the mat!
She heads to the corner but gets intercepted by the champ, who connects with a spider suplex. She poses to mock the crowd, not seeing that Willow is back on her feet as she goes back after the champ. This ends with a double down as both women end up on the mat, and the ref begins a standing count.
Willow is the first to get up, going for a leglock on Thekla before the champ fights back by biting the head (or ear) of Nightingale. She gets to her feet but is rocked with a lariat by the challenger, only to fight back with a flurry of offense. She locks in a deathlock before attacking the face of Willow, who fights it off enough to get to the ropes for a break. She uses the ropes to get back to her feet and Thekla builds up speed for a big boot…only to be intercepted by the challenger, who ends up taking Thekla to the apron with a DDT!
Willow is slow to get back up on the outside, and this allow Thekla enough time to climb the turnbuckle for a diving cross body sending her back to the floor. She brings Willow back into the ring now, setting up for a spear…but Willow counters, landing a Death Valley Driver for a nearfall! She drops the straps for a Babe with the Powerbomb…but the champ breaks free, landing an elbow strike instead!
She bridges on the pin but the ref catches her using the ropes for leverage, and this allows Willow to fight back with a spinebuster! She goes up top for a moonsault press, but Thekla rolls out of the way. She lands a gutwrench powerbomb sans the sitout, but a pin is broken up by Skye Blue pulling Thekla to the ropes. Ref sees this and admonishes her, before Willow leaves the ring to lay her out.
She comes back into the ring but gets blindsided by Thekla who looks for a stomp…only for Willow to catch her with a backslide for the win!
Winner via pinfall and new AEW Women’s World Champion: Willow Nightingale
The win makes Willow Nightingale the first Women’s Grand Slam Champion in AEW history as The Conglomeration comes out to celebrate with her. We see Mercedes Moné watch on, holding her Owen Hart Tournament title up as she visually reminds Willow the challenge ahead for All In at Wembley Stadium.
As the new champ continues to celebrate, commentary confirms that we’ll see the trios titles on the line at Dynamite this Wednesday when The Conglomeration defends against The Demand. We’ll also hear from the champs and challengers ahead of the tag title match at All In, and on August 5 we’ll see Kyle Fletcher defend the International Title against “Speedball” Mike Bailey. With all that, we get a video package hyping our main event as Kenny Omega defends the AEW World Championship against “The Jet” Kevin Knight!
Back at ringside, Kevin Knight makes his entrance for our main event of the evening. Out next is Kenny Omega who gets a big pop from the crowd on his way to the ring. We get introductions for both men before getting this match underway…or maybe not, as Kevin blindsides the champ before the bell can ring! He grabs some tape to choke Omega out before the ref pulls him away, and finally calls for the bell to start things off.

Ref intervenes for a break, and this gives Omega an opening to catch the challenger on the top rope.
Kevin sends him to the corner with a hammer throw, turning things around for a nearfall before landing some hard shots to the head. The fans chant at him, and this distracts Knight long enough for Kenny to fight back for a moment. Kevin kicks him away, only to be caught in an ankle lock before grabbing the ropes for the break.
Knight fires back for a set of nearfalls as the crowd chants “Speedball’s better” at him. Kevin focuses on a chinlock on Omega, who gets to his feet before Kevin goes for an abdominal stretch. Kenny rolls through for a nearfall, forcing the break in the process.
Omega tells Kevin he can’t escape, but doesn’t get far with it due to his lingering injuries. He pushes through as he sets Knight against the ropes for a V-Trigger, but Kevin breaks away from a One-Winged Angel attempt. Snap dragon suplex takes The Jet to the mat, and he rolls to the apron where Kenny fights it out with him for a snap dragon onto the hardest part of the ring. Knight struggles to his feet, pulling the hood off the announce table out of frustration as Kenny follows him.
The challenger tries to fight back, but to no avail as Omega drops him onto the announce table with another snap dragon! Knight falls to the floor and Kenny brings him back into the ring. He tells the crowd to quiet down, so we can all hear him tell Knight “you will never beat me” before landing a hard knee strike. He quiets the crowd again, this time just to hear the impact of a second knee strike.
Knight fends off any further damage by taking the champ to the mat with a DDT. Kenny slowly gets to his feet using the ropes as Knight stands back up as well.

Winner via pinfall and still AEW World Champion: Kenny Omega
Kenny doesn’t get time to celebrate as Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia slide into the ring to blindside the champ. Claudio and PAC join in as Shafir and Mox watch on from ringside, but the beatdown is interrupted by the Young Bucks, who are quickly dispatched before Will Ospreay runs down to the ring.
He tries to keep them from attacking Omega before Yuta pulls him away, telling him it’s going to be fine. This allows a chance for Claudio to finish what he started, but not before Will shoves him away. He takes the chair off Omega, forcing the Death Riders to clear out of the ring…aside from Moxley, who makes his way into the ring.
A tense staredown between Ospreay and Mox ends with Jon slowly pulling the chair away from Ospreay’s hands, throwing it to the outside. After a bit of a chat, he pulls out a plastic bag that he hands over to Will, looking to do to Kenny what they did to Bryan Danielson. Will holds the bag in his hands, looking at it and at Omega…only to tear the bag apart!
He levels Mox with a forearm and this brings in Marina Shafir who gets sent out of the ring, followed by Garcia and Yuta who get taken out pretty quick, and ends with PAC taking a Hidden Blade by Ospreay.
Outside the ring we see Mox hold Claudio back while the rest of the Riders clear out. They head out through the crowd as Ospreay throws the knee pad with his Death Riders “cut” out of the ring in anger. He helps Omega to his feet as the crowd cheer, telling Kenny that from here on out this is about the two of them alone for the title.
The two raise each other’s arms as Kenny’s music plays. Ospreay climbs the turnbuckle to pose…and gets taken out by Omega, who then drops him with a One-Winged Angel! The crowd is stunned as Kenny yells at Will about the plastic bag, seemingly upset that he would even try to use it before the Young Bucks come in to intervene.
Omega poses with the title, leaving the ring as we’re left with Ospreay laying in the ring to bring Redemption to a close.
