Penta El Zero Mideo, Komander & Bryan Keith defeated Private Party & Matt Sydal and Top Flight & Action Andretti
The match was a three-way with traditional tags, first pinfall wins. This meant the match broke down frequently.
The match went through a commercial break, during which Action Andretti was triple-teamed by Private Party & Sydal. Andretti hit a handspring back elbow and got the tag to Dante Martin. Martin got a near fall off a springboard cross body, which broken up by Keith. Komander had Sydal tied up in a surfboard on the ring apron and Dante Martin dove over them into a pile of guys on the floor. Sydal broke free and hit a meteora on the Komander on the apron, and Penta took out Sydal with a Canadian Destroyer.
Back in the ring, Private Party went for the Gin and Juice on Penta, who countered with another Destroyer. Komander took a bunch of guys out of the floor with a tornio, and Penta finished off Sydal with the Fear Factor to get the pinfall. Typical party match, and Bryan Keith got a win in advance of getting destoryed by Malakai Black tomorrow on Collision.
– Renee Paquette tried to interview Harley Cameron & Saraya about Ruby Soho and Angelo Parker, but Saraya would rather talk about her brother “Zodiac” Zak Knight, who is All Elite. And he could have been Ruby Soho’s! Saraya was all ready to fix up Zack and Ruby, but she went with Parker instead. Saraya announced things are going to get “really spicy” around here. This was a trainwreck, but in a good way.
Executive Vice Presidents Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, The Young Bucks v. Johnny Lyons & Cappuccino Jones (2:18)
I’m not doing a Taz gimmick with that second enhancement guys name, it was really Cappuccino Jones. Matthew & Nicholas have ditched the blood-covered suits in favor of black ones. The crowd chanted for Cappuccino, despite the match being a total squash. The “Tony Khan Driver” (uh, sorry Dave) finished off Jones.
After the match, Matthew & Nicholas brought Tony Schiavone into the ring to apologize for almost attacking him last week with a $25 Amazon gift card. But, they won’t be sorry for beating Darby Allin & Sting at Revolution.
– Tony Schiavone interviewed Sammy Guevara in the ring, who called out Powerhouse Hobbs. Don Callis and his ridiculous shoes came out instead. Callus tried to distract Guevara so Hobbs could run in from behind and attack. Guevara caught Hobbs with a superkick and smacked him around with a steel chair. Guevara went for the GTH, but Hobbs murdered him with a lariat and hit a couple of spinebusters. The crowd chanted “one more time!” and Hobbs gave Guevara the World’s Most Dangerous Slam. I kind of hope they put Guevara in the Meat Madness match.
– Skye Blue and Julia Hart cut a dark promo (literally dark, I could hardly see them) on Kris Statlander, Stokely Hathaway and Willow Nightingale.
Mariah May defeated Anna Jay
Anna Jay countered a fireman’s carry into a Queen Slayer attempt, but May backed her into the corner. May hit a handstand hurricanrana in the corner. May went for the hip attack, but Jay got out of the way. Jay hit an inverted backbreaker for a near fall. Jay went for the QueenSlayer again, but May countered by biting Jay’s arm. May then hit the May Day (a sitout Death Valley Driver) for the pinfall. It feels like Jay is improving.
– Renee Paquette interviewed Ruby Soho & Angelo Parker. Soho either challenged Saraya to a double-date or a mixed tag… or something for next week.
Roderick Strong (w/ Mike Bennett & Matt Taven) defeated Jake Hanger (w/ Hornsby, Mascot of the Tulsa Drillers)
Hager used his power to dominate Strong early on. Stong got the advantage, and Hornsby lead the crowd in cheers for Hager. That drew the attention of Bennett and Taven. Orange Cassidy came out to make the save… AND RETURNED THE PURPLE HAT TO JAKE HAGER. (You may recall at Rampage — Winter is Coming that Danhausen and Cassidy kept the hat when Cassidy teamed with the Von Erichs).
Hager made the comeback because he loves the hat, and hit a Hager Bomb for the near fall. Hager hit a Doctor Bomb on Strong for another near fall. Hager got the ankle lock. Taven and Bennett tossed Cassidy into the ring, and in the confusion Strong caught Hager with a running knee and got the pinfall.
There are going to be 24 hours of wrestling on this weekend, and this was definitely one of them. But its nice to see AEW’s favorite couple together again — Jake Hager and his hat.
