– Five years to the day of his AEW debut, IWGP World Champion Jon Moxley is here to celebrate the five year anniversary of AEW. Before he could say anything, Don Callis came out to interrupt. Callus wanted to review his history their history together. The crowd is booing Moxley but it doesn’t sound very good. Callis mentioned the “24 stitches” that Moxley put in Callis’s head, and the crowd chanted “One More Time!” Callis made a pitch for Moxley to join the Don Callis Family, since they’re both “high functioning sociopaths.” Moxley was up for it, but only if he could put 24 more stitches in Callis’s head. of course, this was all just a set up for Takeshita to jump Moxley from behind. Takeshita “Pillmanized” Moxley’s left arm. The other members of the Blackpool Combat Club run in to chase Callis and Takeshita away.
– Will Ospreay cut a fired up promo after getting bloodied up on Wednesday.
Claudio Castagnoli & Daniel Garcia & Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated Lance Archer & The Righteous (9:34)
Tanahashi was the mystery partner, and this match will start to get things going for Forbidden Door next month.
Castagnoli got Dutch up for a slam early on. Through most of the split screen break, Garica took a beating from Archer and the Righteous. Garica caught Vincent with a backdrop suplex and got the tag to Tanahashi, who the crowd went suitably nuts for. Tanahashi hit Archer with a flying forearm, but Archer came back with a cross body block. Garcia escaped a chokeslam from Archer, and pulled him to the floor with a guillotine choke. Castignoli got Dutch up for the Giant Swing, but Archer broke that up (which the crowd did not like). Castignoli got Archer up for a suplex. Tanahasi went to the top rope, but Archer caught him with a knee. The Righteous took him out with a double team cutter. Everyone started brawling on the floor, leaving Tanahashi in the ring with Vincent. Tanahashi took Vincent down with a Slingblade, then finished him off with the High Fly Flow.
After the match, Tanahashi and Garica celebrated with Garcia’s signature dance.
The Lucha Bros (w/ Alex Abranahtes) defeated The Gunn Club (8:13)
The Lucha Bros brought their kids to the ring with them. Or maybe they’re minis. This was the Lucha Bros first tag match since WrestleDream in 2023. By virtue of winning this match, the trios match between Death Triangle and the Bang Bang Gang will be for the World Trios Titles.
The match started with a fast series of offensive exchanges by both teams. The Gunns avoided a pair of superkicks on the floor (after trying to escape the match by climbing under the ring). Back in the ring, Colton got Penta up for a suplex for a near fall.
After the split-screen break, Penta caught Colton with a superkick, and got the tag to Rey Fenix, who hit both Gunns with a springboard crossbody. Fenx took Austin down with a tijeras, and hit Colton with a big splash for a near fall. Austin crotched Fenix on the top rope, and Austin hit the Famouser for a near fall.
The Gunns tried to set up the 3:10 to Yuma, but Fenix escaped. The Lucha Bros dumped Colton, and then hit the Fear Factor on Austin for the three count.
– Chris Jericho and Big Bill were interviewed in the back. Chris Jericho will be ready for his two opponents on Sunday. Bryan Keith interrupted to tell Jericho he hasn’t seen the last of him.
Kyle O’Reilly defeated KM (1:15)
KM was bigger, but O’Reilly tapped him out quickly with a armbar.
– A pretty great hype package for the TBS Championship match tomorrow night.
– Willow Nightingale was out for some promo time. Nightingale was not happy about Mone touching her “TBS Championship” on Rampage last night, and promised to wreck Mercedes tomorrow night. Nightingale cut a fired up promo and the crowd was really behind her.
– Backstage, Lexi Nair’s interview with Trent Beretta was interrupted by Rocky Romero. Romero asked to team with Beretta again, but Beretta shot that down hard.
Buddy Matthews & Brody King defeated The Infantry (w/ Trish Adora) in a four corners tag match which also featured The Gates of Agony (w/ Brian Cage) and The Acclaimed (w/ Billy Gunn) (10:31)
Max Caster and Charlie Bravo started out by exchanging fast pinfall attempts. Tags were made to Brody King and Toa Leona, and that woke the crowd up. They exchanged forearms while the crowd chanted “Meat! Meat! Meat!” Other men in the match would try to break it up, and get knocked out of the ring for their troubles. Lenoa tried to run the ropes, but Murphy low-bridged him. Leona and six other guys started fighting on the floor, and Brody King flew through the ropes at them with a tope. Crazy.
After a commercial break, things have settled down with Buddy Matthews wearing out Max Caster with a chinlock. Caster came back with a superkick, the Infantry came in and hit Matthews with a superkick. Brody King came in and got a triple superkick. Lenoa took out both members of the Infantry with a crossbody. Leona hit King with an avalanche in the corner. Kaun hit a shotgun dropkick on Matthews. The Infantry tried to get something going again, and got cut off by King.
The story of the match kept going back to Kaun and King squaring off. Kaun caught King with a Samoan Drop. The Infantry took four guys out on the floor with top rope crossbody blocks. Back in the ring, they tried to suplex King, but he blocked it. Murphy and King took out the Infantry again while The Acclaimed and Gates of Agony brawled to the black. King and Matthews finished off one of the Infantry with a cannonball/sliding dropkick combination in the corner.
The parts with Bishop Kaun and Brody King were awesome. But it’s time to stop trying to make the Infantry a thing.
– Adam Copeland cut a dark and grainy promo about embracing his dark side against Malakai Black.
– A recap of Serena Deeb’s attack on Toni Storm (“What a heel! quipped Nigel after watching Deeb hit Storm with her shoe) was shown. Afterwards, Storm cut a fantastic promo on Deeb. “I have to fight a woman who thinks that twitching on the floor was a sign from the universe that she should keep wrestling.”
Mariah May defeated Leyla Hirsch
Nigel was on a roll on commentary tonight. At the outset of the match, he wondered if Hirsch moving from Moscow to New Jersey at 8 years old was an upgrade. May rubbed Hirsch’s face in her bosom, then drop her with a Samona Drop and a shotgun dropkick.
After a split-screen break, Hirsch was in control while the crowd chanted “She’s Legit!” for Hirsch. Hirsch missed a moonsault, and May came back with clotheslines and a backdrop suplex. May hit a shotgun dropkick off the top for a near fall. May took Hirsch down out of the corner with a handstand lariat. May went for a hip attack, but Hirsch avoided it and hit a German suplex. May hit a headbutt and running knee to get the pinfall. Nigel gave Mariah a one man standing ovation after the match.
The Acclaimed v. The Gates of Agony was announced for the Buy In.
– Lexi Nair interviewed Serena Deeb. “‘Timeless’ Toni Storm? More like ‘Time’s Up,’ Toni Storm.”
– A recap of the Christian Cage v. Swerve Strickland feud. I think this is the same package from the Countdown to Double or Nothing show that aired last night after Rampage, which was fantastic.
– Earlier today, The Young Bucks were selling shoes and signing autographs at Champs in Las Vegas.
Bryan Danielson & FTR defeated Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh (10:27)
Danielson and Jarrett had a pretty good exchange in the open, while both Tony and Nigel noted that Danielson had never beaten Jarrett. Cash Wheeler was the victim of the heat segment during the commercial break. Wheeler kicked out of a figure-four attempt from Jarrett and got the tag to Dax Harwood. Harwood caught Lethal with a small package for a near fall. Singh caught Harwood from behind with a chop, setting him up for a Lethal Combination from Jay.
Singh got the tag, grabbed Harwood by the throat and dropped him repeatedly to the mat. While his teammates watched from chairs, Singh wore down Harwood with a claw and dumped Wheeler to the floor. Singh missed a charge in the corner, and tags were made to Danielson and Jarrett.
Jarrett and Danielson stole the show with their next exchange. Daneislon hit a pair of corner dropkicks and took Jarrett down for the LeBell Lock, but Lethal broke that up. Danielson and Wheeler took out Lethal and Jarrett with dives. On the other side of the ring, Harwood sent Singh into the ringpost.
Back in the ring, Danielson and FTR triple-teamed Singh with kicks. FTR gave Singh the “FTR Trigger” and Danielson followed up with the Busaiku Knee. Lethal hit both members of FTR with the Lethal Injection, but Danielson took him out with a clothesline.
Karen Jarrett tried to give Jeff his guitar, but Aubrey Edwards cut her off. This was just a distraction so Sonjay Dutt could slide Jarrett a chair. Jarrett swung the chair at Danielson, who ducked and Jarrett caught Singh with the chair instead. Danielson nailed Jarrett with a Busaiku Knee, and FTR finished off Lethal with the Shatter Machine so Danielson could pin Jarrett. Really fun main event.
After the match, Cash Wheeler cut a fired up promo about the virtues of AEW. “Wrestling is better off because of AEW!” They may be limping into Double or Nothing, but they’ll be the only four guys walking out of the match. Dax Harwood cut his own fired up promo about fighting for AEW and the fans of AEW.
This was a good go-home show for the pay-per-view, with a good mix of matches setting things up for tomorrow night and some really well done features on the main events. Tanahashi was a fun surprise in the six man.
