Schiavone opened the show by interviewing Chris Jericho and MJF as they arrived at the building. Jericho and MJF played fake nice with each other. Each told the other that they had been screwed at All Out and would be AEW Champion soon.

As they walked away, each called the other an idiot.

Funny.

Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus (w/Marko Stunt) defeated Penta El Zero M & Rey Fenix (w/Eddie Kingston, Butcher & Blade)

This was a good opener but maybe a notch below what you would expect from these teams.

Jungle Boy and Fenix began with a hot sequence. Jungle Boy hit a suicide dive. Jungle Boy tried to use Luchasaurus as a launch pad but slipped. The announcers cited the heat as the reason for the botch.

Jungle Boy got cut off and worked over. There were two separate heat segments on Jungle Boy. Luchasaurus got two hot tags and ran wild with chops and kicks both times.

Luchasaurus made a tag to Jungle Boy. Penta and Fenix hit their package driver/double stomp combo but Jungle Boy kicked out.

For the finish, Fenix came off the top with a flying attack. Jungle Boy moved out of the way and Fenix hit Penta. Jungle Boy rolled up Penta for the pin.

***********

They teased dissension within this group that has been together for a few weeks after the match. Penta and Fenix had to be pulled apart.

Kingston cut a strong promo and said he's there for them, they're his best friends and they all have each other's backs.

He also made a reference to PAC not being there for them and made a reference to someone's wife not being there for them, that went over my head.

Everyone made up and Kingston closed the promo by saying he was never eliminated from the Casino Battle Royale at All Out and to read the rules if we don't believe him.

**********

The announcers showed highlights from Mox/MJF at All Out and pushed that the PPV replay is available for purchase. They were really pushing the replay hard.

The announcers previewed the rest of the show.

**********

Lance Archer and Jake Roberts cut a promo on Moxley. They were standing in a rainy alley.

Roberts said they were getting wet and enjoying it and they were going to make Moxley pee himself.

Archer said Moxley has been champ for too long and he's sick of it.

**********

Matt Hardy came to the ring for a promo. He said it was great to be in front of a live audience and thanked everyone watching at home.

He said he took a scary fall and was grateful for the amazing outpouring of love and support from the fans.

He said that after a myriad of tests he was expected to make a 100 percent full recovery.

Matt pointed out his "I Don't Die" shirt. He said he might be the dumbest man alive but he's for sure the luckiest. He pointed out his family, his wife Reby was in the crowd with one of their children.

He apologized to the fans for the match at All Out not being what he wanted it to be. He said maybe it's best that his feud with Sammy Guevara is over because if things had kept ramping up someone could have been seriously hurt.

Matt said that once he's cleared he's going to get ranked and get his first AEW championship. He said his journey is far from over and the fans are the best.

Excellent babyface promo.

**********

Orange Cassidy defeated Angelico (w/Jack Evans)

This was a little bit more than a squash in that Angelico got some offense but it was super quick.

Angelico worked over Cassidy's legs with a variety of holds.

Cassidy made a quick comeback and hit a suicide dive and a high cross off the top for a near fall.

Cassidy hit the Orange Punch for the pin.

**********

Santana and Ortiz ran in and attacked Cassidy after the match. Trent and Chuck ran in to make the save.

Trent and Chuck challenged Santana and Ortiz to a fight in the parking lot next week.

**********

Alex Marvez knocked on the Young Bucks' locker room door. They opened the door and hit him with a tandem superkick.

**********

The Best Man

Tony Schiavone was in the ring. He called out Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford for Sabian to reveal his best man for their wedding.

Sabian plugged his Twitch channel and asked Schiavone to leave the ring. Sabian introduced his best man. Indie wrestler Puf entered first. He wasn't the best man. Brian Pillman Jr. entered. He was also not the best man.

Miro, the former Rusev, then entered. He is the best man. The announcers said that maybe because Miro and Sabian are both big on Twitch they found a kinship.

Miro said after ten years in the same house with a glass ceiling and an imaginary brass ring, you can shove that brass ring up your rear end.

Miro said he's not just a best man, he's THE best man. He said if you tune into Twitch you know he's the best gamer and if you tune in to "right here" you'll see him destroy people very night.

Miro said elite recognizes elite and he is All Elite.

**********

Tony Schiavone interviewed Hangman Page. Page had his glass of whiskey with him.

Schiavone asked how Page was doing. Page gave a stock answer. Schiavone pressed him for a more honest answer.

Page said that it felt inevitable that he and Kenny Omega were going to split at All Out but it didn't have to be that way.

He said it was his fault that FTR were in a position to challenge for the titles and he made a mistake in thinking that because the looked like him and talked like him that they were like him.

Page said that he and Kenny had a lot of problems but a lot of wins. He said not having the titles is a challenge but they'll climb their way back to the top.

So they're presenting this as if Page is assuming they're still a team.

Lots of guys in their 30s talking about their feelings on this wrestling show.

**********

Chris Jericho & Jake Hager defeated Joey Janela & Sonny Kiss in a no DQ match

This was a decent brawl that picked up the pace and intensity after a commercial break.

Janela scored some early offense on Jericho. Janela pulled a chair from under the ring and used it. He set it up to use as a launch pad for a leg lariat in the corner but Jericho blocked and hit a suplex onto the legs of the chair.

Janela was cut off and worked over during a break. Kiss got a tag and made a comeback after the commercial break. Hager set up a table on the floor. Hager and Jericho threw Janela off the stage through the table.

Kiss hit a dive to the stage to both Hager and Jericho. Kiss went to the top rope. Jericho sprayed Kiss with a fire extinguisher. Hager then hit Kiss with a uranage and pinned Kiss with a head and arm choke.

**********

Jericho cut a promo after the match. He said All Out was a terrible night for The Inner Circle, his boots still smell like rotten orange and Sammy is home injured.

Jericho said it's time to turn it all around and he and Hager want the Tag Team titles.

**********

MJF cut a promo backstage in his campaign headquarters. He said Moxley cheated at All Out but he doesn't blame him because it's in his nature.

MJF said the campaign staff is to blame and fired them all.

MJF then turned his attention to Wardlow. MJF said they shouldn't have a problem because he signs Wardlow's checks, not AEW.

MJF asked if they had a problem, because if they did, he would have to put Wardlow and his family on the street.

MJF said now is not the time for aggression, it's time to plan how to get back on top.

**********

Moxley cut a promo. He said as if he didn't have enough on his plate he saw out of the corner of his eye that Lance Archer won the battle royale Saturday night.

Moxley said it doesn't get any easier for him now with Archer. He said Archer is a monster. But we need to ask ourselves, would you really bet against Moxley right now?

**********

Tully Blanchard and FTR were in the ring for a celebration. Some members of the tag division were surrounding the ring.

Tully put over FTR as the best team in the world. Cash said they are undefeated but they had to fight their way to the top. Cash pointed out SCU and said imagine the matches they could have had if SCU were still in their prime.

Dax cut a promo and said they're now the locker room leaders. Dax pointed out Jurassic Express and said they get a non-title match with them next week.

Jurassic Express jumped in to face off with FTR. FTR begged off, then threw alcohol in Luchasaurus's eyes.

FTR rolled outside. Jurassic Express dumped a cooler of ice on them. The remaining teams cut cake slices for each other while FTR and Tully left.

This felt like a bad WWE skit.

***********

Taz joined the announce team. Ricky Starks entered and did a promo dressed as Darby Allin.

Starks mocked Allin for getting hurt all the time and said the nex time Allin shows up, Absolute Ricky Starks is going to absolutely kick his rear end.

**********

Nyla Rose (w/Vickie Guerrero) defeated Tay Conti

Conti was nearly in tears as she entered, clearly this meant a lot to her after signing today.

The match was a little bit clunky but a step up from most AEW women's division matches.

Conti tried a rolling kneebar. Rose fought free and hit a splash in the corner. Vickie Guerrero interfered and raked Conti's eyes.

They fought to the floor. Conti sent Rose into the barricade and posted her. Conti hit a second rope crossbody for a near fall during an ad break.

Conti tried a springboard sunset flip but Rose blocked. Rose teased a Beast Bomb. Conti blocked and used a triangle choke.

Rose used a Beast Bomb to escape the choke and pinned Conti.

The announcers started talking about how The Young Bucks had been fined for attacking Marvez earlier and how Cody will have a big announcement after the show.

Excalibur kept trying to bring it back to the action but JR and Tony were plugging other stuff.

**********

The announcers again said that the Bucks had been fined.

JR threw to a sit-down interview he had done with Omega earlier in the day. This is the best use of JR, by the way.

Omega said winning and losing titles comes with being a pro. He said there's no reconciliation plan for him with Page and it's time for him to be the ace he thought he would be and be a singles star.

This was great and worth going out of your way to see.

**********
