AEW TNT Championship Match Orange Cassidy vs. Wardlow (c)

Wardlow wastes no time in trying to turn this serious by ripping off the pockets of Orange Cassidy as he then pulls his straps down, but Cassidy responds by putting them back onto the champion as he then mocks his pose. Wardlow almost gets the Ppowerbomb straight away, but the challenger responds with a hurricanrana, only for Wardlow to land it and walk it off.

Chuck Taylor and Tret then mess around, trying to put a chainsaw into the ring, but those antics lead to them being kicked out of ringside. Cassidy attempts an Orange Punch but it gets caught and then the challenger hits his classic slow kicks, and when Wardlow charges at him, Cassidy ducks it and sends him out of the ring.

Wardlow then catches the dive only for Cassidy to try and send him into the ring post, but the champion blocks it. He then reaches under the ring and pulls out Danhausen, but he doesn’t want to curse him. Wardlow lets him leave, but Cassidy rocks him with the Orange Punch!

When they get back to the ring he looks for another, but Wardlow reverses it with a belly-to-belly throw that sends Orange out of the ring. He keeps fighting when returning to the ring though, but as Cassidy dives from the top rope he gets caught, but Orange riggles out and hits several chop blocks.

Cassidy wants Beach Break, but that sets him up for the Powerbomb, which he manages to counter with a DDT, and he follows it up with another. The champion connects with an F10, but Orange becomes the first man in history to kick out of the move. Wardlow follows that up with a Powerbomb attempt, but Cassidy fights against it to try and block the move.

Orange gets out with a hurricanrana, following it with a tope suicida as Wardlow then gets sent into the ring post. Back inside the squared circle Orange once again tries the dive, but Wardlow catches him only for Cassidy to reverse with the Stundog Millionaire into the Orange Punch and Beach Break!

Despite that, Wardlow is able to kick out, and when Cassidy looks for another Orange Punch, he catches it and immediately hits a Powerbomb to retain.

Winner (and still TNT Champion): Wardlow

– After the match Wardlow picks up Cassidy and the two men show their respect to each other.

Let’s Hear From Chris Jericho 

He says tonight he stands in front of people as a living legend and Eddie Kingston’s superior. He says Eddie is confused, but isn’t a liar as he adds that being friends with Eddie is worse than any curse Danhausen could muster. He then runs down some of his friends such as Ortiz and Santana that are all missing.

Jericho says he took out Bryan Danielson and we don’t know when he’s back, and he then says Ruby Soho has a mangled hand because she is Eddie’s Ruby. He says Eddie is a mark for people like Sabu and Terry Funk as he questions how many barbed wire matches Kingston has actually had, as he won the first barbed wire match in Canadian wrestling history.

He felt pleasure in that and claims to be just as sadistic as Kingston, but Eddie overestimates that, but it won’t be possible next week, that’s because Kingston is not facing Jericho…he’s facing the Painmaker. He says this match is the end for them, and after Eddie can cover everything up with excuses, but the trust is he just won’t be at his level.

He says the only thing that can wash away his sins is Kingston’s blood, and if he wants that then he’s got it because Kingston isn’t a liar, he’s a loser.

– Eddie Kingston is then shown backstage and he says Jericho is going to pay with every ounce of his blood, and he will see him at the barbed wire everywhere match.

Konosuke Takeshita vs. Jon Moxley (Interim AEW World Championship Eliminator Match)

After a brief lock up the two men go back and forth with some big shots, but Konosuke Takeshita then hits a leg lariat and a chop in order to show he’s ready for this. The champion fires back though with a piledriver of his own, following it up with a submission move to add further pressure.

The fight spills to the ring apron as they trade forearm strikes, and it is Takeshita that comes out on top with a German suplex on the apron, but as he tries to get back in the ring it opens up the chance for Moxley to nail him with a boot to the face. That busts open Konosuke, and Moxley follows it up by biting his head and then some big chops back in the ring.

They end up on the top turnbuckle with Moxley pushing his elbow into his opponent’ cut, and he follows it with a superplex which gets a near fall. Takeshita then fights back with strikes of his own before bouncing off the ropes to take the champion down, following up with a big kick in the corner. But as he runs to the turnbuckle to hit another, Moxley follows and elbows him.

Konosuke doesn’t allow that to stop him though, firing back with a brainbuster, but as he goes for the Frog Splash Moxley gets the knees up. Once again they trade forearms and then Takeshita connects with a hurricanrana and he follows that up by diving over the top rope to take him down again. This time the Frog Splash connects, but Moxley kicks out just in time!

Moxley then attempts to set in a sleeper hold, but Takeshita hits a Blue Thunder Bomb in order to get another near fall. Moxley then blocks the jumping knee and hits the Paradigm Shift. But as he goes for the Death Rider, Takeshita reverses with a rolling elbow and then a German suplex which gets an incredibly close near fall.

Moxley hits several headbutts after that and then does connect with the Death Rider, following up with the Bulldog Choke for the victory.

Winner: Jon Moxley

– A video package airs of The House Of Black talking to Darby Allin, Brody King says he didn’t need praise, and he is getting his by taking Darby’s.

Let’s Hear From Christian Cage

Christian Cage mocks Brian Pillman Jr.’s haircut and says he had a father like Jungle Boy, but he was a legend in this business. However, Cage claims Pillman was average at best, but he does respect him. He doesn’t mind speaking on Brian’s behalf, saying he’d be appalled that Pillman Jr. was his child.

Cage says Griff Garrison annoyed him with the picture he posted, and he asks Luchasaurus if he looks like Jungle Boy.

Luchasaurs vs. Griff Garrison 

The big man starts dominantly, launching his opponent out of the ring with a German suplex. He then puts his head against the ring post and he then boots it into it. The match gets back into the ring, and Luchasaurus hits two Chokeslam’s before locking in the Tarpin for a submission win.

Winner: Luchasaurus

After the match, Brian Pillman Jr. gets taken out, as does Griff, and Luchasaurus Chokeslam’a Pillman onto his partner, with the two crashing through an announce table.

– The JAS are backstage saying they don’t like cages, while Daniel Garcia challenges Wheeler Yuta to a Pure Title match at ROH.

– Backstage Hangman Adam Page is with Tony Schiavone backstage, but The Dark Order appear and say they’re pissed off and they challenge The House Of Black to a match

Jake Hager vs. Claudio Castagnoli

Claudio Castagnoli comes flying out of the gates with a huge uppercut and then a big boot which sends Jake Hager out of the ring, but the JAS member responds well with a huge clothesline on the floor. He then looks for a Hager Bomb, but Claudio reverses it and has him set in the 619 position, so he hits it!

In the corner, Hager gets back on track with some huge shots of his own, but Claudio then takes him down by going for the knee, following it with a bulldog. He then drives Jake into the turnbuckle pad, but as he goes to the top rope, Jake knocks it and then hits a double leg from the top turnbuckle.

He then launches Claudio across the ring, following it up with a Hager Bomb, which gets a near fall. The Blackpool Combat Club star has no problem responding though with a vertical suplex, and he then hits a few punches only to eat a high boot from Hager. Despite that, Claudio responds yet again, springboarding with an uppercut, and yet again the two men go back and forth with uppercuts and forearms.

A dropkick sends Hager out of the ring, so Claudio charges at him with a huge uppercut on the barrier, and inside the ring it is followed with a diving crossbody, which gets another near fall. Now it’s time to go swinging as Claudio shows what he’s all about, transitioning it into a Scorpion Deathlock, but then 2.0 make their way down.

As Claudio is distracted Hager plants him to the mat, but Claudio is able to kick out just in time! Hager looks for the Ankle Lock but Castagnoli blocks it and then hits a suplex, but yet again 2.0 provide issues for him. However, this time Claudio sees Hager coming, and he then hits the Swiss Alps.

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli
