Adam Page victory speech
The show opened with the new AEW Champion Adam Page coming to the ring. He thanked the fans for their support. He said he went to war for AEW to bring back the championship belt and thanked everybody who contributed in this fight.
Kyle Fletcher (w/Don Callis) vs Mascara Dorada
Dorada gave Fletcher a superkick and a head scissors into the turnbuckle. Fletcher caught Dorada coming off the ropes and gave him a lawn dart into the middle turnbuckle. He followed it up with the brainbuster and pinned Dorada.
Winner: Kyle Fletcher (w/Don Callis)
Earlier today:
The Young Bucks were snubbed by Marina Shafir as they made their way into the backstage area. They passed by Ricochet who said it sucks to be you guys. Don Callis told them it’s horrible how they lost one match and the company is treating them like jobbers. He mentioned they’ve had their problems, but now that Kenny Omega is dead, we can do some business. The Bucks said we will never join your family, but we need a couple friends around here. Callis hugged them both.
Backstage:
MVP and The Hurt Business said I would like to celebrate, but we knew we were going to retain the tag team championships. I’m begging for one of these legendary tag teams to step up and challenge The Hurt Business. MJF said he’s happy that Hangman won because it would have been easy to beat Jon Moxley by utilizing his guaranteed future world title shot contract. With Page, he has everything to prove to him and his hypocritical fans who believe he’s a good guy. He mentioned Page is not a good guy, he is not the best, and he won’t need his future guaranteed shot to beat Page. He will beat him in the middle of the ring and the future guaranteed shot is only in the case of an emergency.
The Young Bucks (Nick & Matt Jackson), Hechicero, and Josh Alexander (w/Don Callis) vs Jet Speed (Kevin Knight & Speedball Mike Bailey), Bandido, and Brody King
The Young Bucks were expecting pyro during their ring entrance, but didn’t get any since they lost their MVP status. Knight came off the top rope but was met with a superkick from both Young Bucks. Bandido gave Matt a cutter and dropped him face first on his knee. Alexander held Bandido for the Bucks to give him a spike piledriver. Hechicero leg-tossed Bandido into a double superkick by the Bucks and applied the sleeper to beat him.
Winners: The Young Bucks, Hechicero, and Josh Alexander
Cope Returns to Dynamite:
Cope said he didn’t come down to save Christian Cage at All In. Christian has tried to make my life miserable since I came to AEW. I came back at All In to get my hands on FTR. They took four months away from me and now I’m going to end them.
Stokely Hathaway came to the ring with security. He said after the PPV, Tony Khan, AEW, and Warner Media received three anonymous emails complaining about his behavior, so much so, that moving forward, if Cope interferes in FTR’s matches or attacks them, he’s fired. Cope told Stokely that he mentioned that he can’t get anywhere near FTR, but didn’t mention anything about him and gave him a spear.
Backstage:
Mark Briscoe said MJF dodged him in the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In. He thought he would be done with him, but they’re just getting started.
Thekla vs Queen Aminata vs Kris Statlander vs Willow Nightingale
The Winner of this match will receive $100,000. Willow gave Thekla the Doctor Bomb and went for the cover, but Statlander pulled the referee out of the ring as she was making the count. Willow and Statlander brawled to the back. Queen hit a foot stomp off the top rope onto Thekla for a two-count. Sky Blue got on the ring apron. With the referee distracted, Julia Hart got in the ring and blew mist in the eyes of Thekla. Thekla hit Queen with a curb stomp and pinned her.
Winner: Thekla
Toni Storm victory speech:
Toni thanked Mercedes Money for going All In with her and said would give her a rematch if she wants one. She announced Luther was injured in the line of duty and will require reattachment surgery. Athena and Billie Starks appeared on the video wall. Athena warned Toni that she is the ROH Champion and will be the next AEW Champion. She mentioned that she injured Mina Shirakawa because she stepped into ROH without her permission. That means Toni has nobody to protect her when she executes her guaranteed title shot. Toni said whenever she is ready, she will defeat her. Following the confrontation, it was announced that Toni Storm will face Billie Starkz on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
Backstage:
Kip Sabian said he took bullet after bullet. We discovered the purpose was to support his brother, no longer under a patriarch, but alongside a matriarch. Mother Wayne said the reality is these are my boys and Nick Wayne is my son, our prodigy. Nick said Christian Cage was past his expiration date to the point that he was becoming a liability. He realized it months ago when Christian decided to stop sticking to the plans and go after the World Championship. He mentioned that Christian created this monster and now he’s going to be the face of TNT.
Kazuchika Okada wins a squash match
After the match, Okada said Swerve Strickland screwed the Young Bucks and called him a bitch. This brought out Swerve and Prince Nana. Swerve said he did screw them and asked Okada what he was going to do about it. Okada left the ring.
Hangman Adam Page, Mark Briscoe and Powerhouse Hobbs vs. The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) (w/Marina Shafir)
Moxley bit Page’s head. Hobbs hit Moxley with a spinebuster. Yuta hit Hobbs with the Busaiku knee. Briscoe came off the top rope with the Froggy Bow. Page blocked the Neutralizer from Claudio, rolled him up, and pinned him to win the match. After the match, The Death Riders beat up Page. Moxley got distracted when he saw Darby Allin appear in the upper stands which allowed Page to hit Moxley with the Buckshot Lariat to end the show
Winners: Hangman Adam Page, Mark Briscoe, Powerhouse Hobbs
