[PRE-SHOW] (“Zero Hour”)
Commentators: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Matt Menard
(A) DEONNA PURRAZZO (w/Taya Valkyrie) vs. ANNA JAY
Excalibur said fans were still filing into the arena as many empty seats were visible. When Valkyrie speared Jay at ringside, the ref sent her to the back. Purrazzo then gave Jay her finishing armbar, but Jay countered for a leverage three count.
WINNER: Anna Jay in 7:00.
(B) KOMANDER (w/Alex Abrahantes) cs. BUDDY MATTHEWS vs. BEAST MORTOS vs. DANTE MARTIN
For the finish, they went into a rapid-fire sequence. Komander gave Mortos a Poison Rana. Dante then landed a top rope splash on Mortos. Matthews stomped Dante and covered him for the win.
WINNER: Matthews in 11:00.
-Paul Wight (“Big Show”) came out to join in on commentary. The Rizzler (a kid) came out as guest ring announcer.
(C) BIG BOOM A.J. (w/Big Justice) vs. Q.T. MARSHALL
Fans were into Boom and Justice. Marshall applied an early headlock and asked the ref to “ask him!” (if he quit). Eventually, Boom landed a superplex. Big Justice landed a spear which got a big pop from the crowd. Boom followed with a powerbomb for the win.
WINNER: Boom in 12:00.
(Keller’s Analysis: The crowd was into it, and that was essential for this to work.)
-Mercedes Moné was verbally abusive to Kamille backsage. “Did I say you could speak?” she asked her. She told her to watch her match from the back to see how real women get the job done.
-The Guns ‘n’ Roses “November Rain” video previewing Full Gear aired.
-The House of Black made their ring entrance as a live band played their song.
-The Acclaimed made their way to the ring. Max Caster rapped insults about House of Black’s live band and said he’d stain the couch cushions or the Outlanders and something about someone’s mothers, of course.
[MAIN SHOW]
Commentators: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGuinness
-They cut to there arena which filled nicely since the pre-show began.
(1) PRIVATE PARTY (Marq Quen.& Isiah Kassidy) vs. MALAKAI BLACK & BRODY KING vs. THE OUTRUNNERS (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) vs. THE ACCLAIMED (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens) – AEW Tag Team Title match
The Outrunners got a nice pop for their ring entrance. Black & Brody got in early offense. The crowd popped for The Outrunner’s flurry of offense.
Late in the match, Caster acted heelish toward the fans. Bowens, who’s from the area, took exception. Bowens gave Kassidy the Arrival, but Caster didn’t follow up with the Mic Drop. Private Party then landed Gin & Juice on Caster for the win. Private Party celebrated with the fans in the stands.
WINNERS: Private Party in 14:00 to retain the AEW Tag Team Titles.
(Keller’s Analysis: Exactly the match you’d expect with these four teams. This was the most dissension yet between Bowens and Caster. Who will break up first, The Acclaimed or New Day?)
-Lexi Nair interviewed Orange Cassidy who said AEW is sending a message back to the Death Riders. He touted Private Party winning the AEW Tag Team Titles after five years. He said AEW means the world to them and it means the world to him. He said he and Private Party wouldn’t exist without AEW. He said he’s taking the power and symbol of everything AEW represents out of Jon Moxley’s briefcase and into his backpack.
(2) RODERICK STRONG vs. MJF
A video package recapped the set-up for this match. MJF insulted the crowd and said the fans like Roderick because he’s white trash like them. He when he’s not wrestling in AEW (he insulted the company), he’s making millions shooting movies. He said meanwhile, his mother is shooting his father.
MJF took it to Strong at ringside early. He powerbombed him onto the ring apron early in the match. Back in the ring, MJF worked over Strong’s arm to mitigate his ability to chop him. He grounded him a few minutes in. A “Let’s Go Roddy! / MJF!” dueling chant broke out.
Strong hit MJF with a wrecking ball kick. He dropped him back-first on the ringside barricade. MJF made a comeback in the ring, but Strong caught him gloating and gave him a backbreaker off the second rope.
MJF and Strong battled back and forth, trading brief stretches of offense. Strong caught MJF with End of Heartache for a two count. Strong followed with more moves including a gut buster and a running kick to the face. MJF countered with a brainbuster suplex. Both were down and slow to get up. They went to a wide shot of the arena.
When Strong draped his arm over MJF’s chest, MJF applied his Salt of the Earth armbar for the tapout win. Nigel said Strong tapped out so quickly, he must’ve broken his finger.
WINNER: MJF in 12:00.
-Afterward, MJF brought a chair into the ring. he put Strong’s wrist in it. Excalibur said he was going to try to permanently incapacitate him. MJF stomped the chair. Cole’s music played and he ran out. MJF fled the scene. Kyle O’Reilly, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett joined in. O’Reilly shoved Cole down. The announcers said O’Reilly blames Cole for Strong being in the crosshairs of MJF. Bennett and Taven seemed surprised by O’Reilly’s outburst. Cole looked stunned.
(3) MERCEDES MONE vs. KRIS STATLANDER – TBS Title match
