WINNER: The Young Bucks in 10:00
(Sage’s Analysis: A really good opening match, that did not get the crowd response I expected. The Young Bucks are the best act in AEW right now and they continue to be that. I don’t love Pac losing a World Title match on Sunday and a Tag Team Title match on Friday. But, I suspect that is the level that Pac will be for the foreseeable future.)

Ogogo took out Johnson Battle Royal style, leaving Cody and Marshall in the ring. While the ref was distracted, Ogogo knocked out Cody, and Marshall was able to get the pin.
WINNER: Anthony Ogogo & QT Marshall in 11:00
(Sage’s Analysis: The match itself was good, and the crowd was pretty hot for this (more than the debut of Andrade). But, this is a thumbs down for me for two reasons. 1) This is very WWE 50/50 booking in this story. 2) The continuation of Cody in the “Cody-Verse,” is not the ideal way to use Cody IMO.)
-A recap of Stadium Stampede 2 was shown.
