Backstage, Christopher Daniels told Adam Page there is a lot of time between now and All In and he can’t fight all of Jon Moxley’s allies by himself. He warned Page that the Young Bucks are only in this for themselves. He reminded Page that there are friends in the locker room that will be there for him. He said there are other guys who have harsh feelings about you, so you might want to rectify that situation.
Will Ospreay vs. Swerve Strickland (w/ Prince Nana)
Swerve Strickland climbed to the top rope to stomp onto Will Ospreay who was laid out on the ring apron. However, just before he could make his move, time ran out, and the match ended in a draw. Strickland challenged Ospreay to a sudden death finish. The Death Riders made their way to the ring. With Strickland distracted by The Death Riders, They Young Bucks attacked Strickland from behind and gave him the EVP Trigger. They handcuffed Stick land to the middle ropes and gave him several superkicks. The Bucks then put on sneakers with thumbtacks on the bottom of them. They went to superkick Strickland, but Ospreay rushed in front of him and took the kick.
Callis asked why Okada is in the match against Kenny Omega at All In and not Kyle Fletcher or Konosuke Takeshita. Callis shook his finger at Okada. Because of that, Okada grabbed Callis’ wrist which led to the Don Callis Family stepping in. Okada looked around and called Callis a bitch before walking off.
They showed footage from earlier today of The Hurt Syndicate beating up Komander and unmasking him. MJF threw it on the ground while Komander hid his face on the ground. As a result of this attack, it was announced that Mascara Dorada would be taking Komander’s spot against The Hurt Syndicate tonight.
Mistico vs Blake Christian
Mistico gave Christian a Spanish Fly off the top rope and pinned him.
Winner: Mistico
After the match, MJF challenged Mistico to a match next week at Grand Slam Mexico. Mistico then accepted the match. MJF threw a punch at Mistico, but Mistico blocked it and began pounding on MJF until Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin attacked Mistico. MJF was trying to unmask Mistico when JetSpeedAir (Kevin Knight, Speedball Mike Bailey & Komander) came in for the save.
The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin & MJF) vs. JetSpeedAir (Kevin Knight, Speedball Mike Bailey & Mascara Dorada)
Bailey got on the top rope. With the referee checking on MJF, MVP hit Bailey with his cane. MJF then gave Bailey a DDT and pinned him. After the match, MJF pulled the mask of Dorada and held it high overhead as Dorada covered his face. Mistico then caught MJF in the armlock. Mistico released the hold when he saw Lashley and Benjamin come back in the ring.
Winners: The Hurt Syndicate.
The Death Riders dragged Adam Page, whose mouth was duck-taped, to the ring and beat him up. They put Page’s head between the chair, but the OPPS came in which sent the Death Riders out of the ring. The OPPS took the duck tape off Page. Page said he will take Moxley’s championship and if he finds even one of the Death Riders tonight, he will take their head.
Anna Jay & Tay Melo vs. Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford
As Jay held onto Bayne, Melo hit Ford with the GTS and pinned her. After the match, Bayne flipped Jay off her and punched her before Jay and Melo left the ring.
Winners: Anna Jay & Tay Melo
A video package aired on the rivalry that Okada and Kenny Omega had with each other in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
All In: Texas Contract Signing with Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada
Tony Schiavone unveiled the new unified title belt that the winner of the match would receive. Kenny Omega reflected on the seven years since his last bout with Kazuchika Okada, emphasizing that they needed to give it their all one final time. After signing the contract, Omega extended a handshake to Okada, who accepted.
Don Callis then appeared, arguing that Takeshita or Kyle Fletcher should be in the match instead. Omega dismissed the idea, stating that he had already defeated them. Suddenly, Okada blindsided Omega with one of the belts. Callis handed Okada a baton, which he used to strike Omega in the stomach and the back of the neck.
This concluded the first half of AEW Summer Blockbuster. Please check out the next two hours under AEW Collision Summer Blockbuster.
