Author’s POV, Running Commentary & Thoughts:
Buy In Pre-Show
- Heads up. I’m doing coverage for both this NXT Battleground at the same time. Therefore, I’ll have my attention split between them (and between both this site and Smark Out Moment). I might miss some details worth talking about.
- The Gunns and Ethan Page against Hook and The Hardy Boyz is starting at 7:25 (just in time to cut into the NXT Battleground pre-show, but that shouldn’t have any real value to watch.)
- Martha Hart is here for the opening ceremonies of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. If anyone wanted to see Tony Khan in a “gangster” hat (ha), there you go.
- Varsity Athletes are coming out. I guess we’re just getting the entrances out of the way for the Blackjack Battle Royale.
AEW International Championship 21-Man Blackjack Battle Royal Match: Orange Cassidy (c)
- Some wrestlers haven’t even gotten into the ring yet. They’re just brawling ringside. Therefore, they haven’t been eliminated.
- Tony Nese and I think Josh Woods are out. There goes Ari Daivari, too.
- Kip Sabian almost immediately eliminated Orange Cassidy. That was a close one.
- Komander does his run on the ropes and jumps to the outside and for some reason, isn’t eliminated? Huh?
- Komander is gone, I think by Jay White. Man is it hard to keep track of a battle royal while also watching Wes Lee vs Tyler Bate vs Joe Gacy.
- Ricky Starks was just barely able to save himself from eliminated. Kip Sabian wasn’t as lucky.
- Chuck Taylor was eliminated in part due to Orange Cassidy ducking down. Miscommunication there.
- The Blade is gone. Probably a few others, but it seems around a dozen guys are still in it, including Swerve Strickland, who still hasn’t even entered the ring.
- The staredown between Keith Lee and Strickland got a decent pop.
- The Butcher, Bandido and Lee Moriarty (and possibly others) have been eliminated. Including Trent, who took a sacrifice for Cassidy.
- Keith Lee’s out.
- Still left in the ring are Orange, Swerve, Brian Cage, Dustin Rhodes, The Lucha Bros, Big Bill, Jay White, Juice Robinson and Ricky Starks. That might be it.
- Fenix was firmly eliminated. I think Juice is gone, too, from Starks, if I saw that correctly.
- Jay White is gone via Starks. Robinson and White beat down on Starks on the outside, but went under the rope. He’s not eliminated.
- Big Bill sends Starks flying over the rope to the outside with a big boot. Starks is gone.
- Dustin Rhodes and Brian Cage are gone. We’re down to Cassidy, Swerve, Big Bill and Pentagon.
- Penta is gone.
- Big Bill is next. We’re down to Orange and Swerve.
- Prince Nana tripped Orange, giving Swerve the advantage to get his stomp in from the top rope.
- Swerve puts Orange’s hands in his pockets, picks him up and…eats a tornado DDT for his efforts, followed by a second one.
- Nana gets involved again while both men are on the apron.
- Swerve jumps, but eats some feet from Orange, who lightly taps him to fall and retain his title.
Unsanctioned Match: Adam Cole vs. Chris Jericho
- Sabu is already getting involved to offset some of The Jericho Appreciation Society.
- Things have been relatively tame, I’d say. Even the table spot was teased, but nothing happened.
- Jericho has Cole in a Lion Tamer. Cole reached a fire extinguisher and Jericho conveniently kept staring at it until Cole was able to pull the trigger. There’s your escape from the hold, since the ropes don’t matter in an unsanctioned match.
- Britt Baker is out with a kendo stick to attack Jericho. Saraya came out to help Jericho, but Baker immediately started hitting her with the Singapore cane, too, and chased her down to leave.
- A chain has been brought into play. This will likely factor into the finish in some fashion. That’s especially true now that Cole and Jericho are tied together, giving us a mini strap/chain match in a sense.
- Cole hits a Shining Wizard and starts just wailing on Jericho, fists to face, until referee Aubrey Edwards stops the match.
AEW World Tag Team Championship Match: FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal
- Nothing quite worthy of talking about quite yet. The heels are bending the rules a bit and getting away with it, but special guest Mark Briscoe is easily distracted.
- Outside of those times Karen Jarrett and company interfere, this has been just a straight-up tag team match. Nothing special going on.
- Briscoe finally ejects Sonjay Dutt and Satnam Singh from ringside.
- Jeff Jarrett went to hit Dax Harwood with a guitar, but Harwood ducked, so Jarrett hit Briscoe instead.
- FTR gets Shatter Machine on Jay Lethal, but Briscoe’s down and unable to count.
- Aubrey Edwards runs down, but Sonjay Dutt stops her. Edwards pushes him down, only for Karen Jarrett to nail Aubrey with a guitar!
- Lethal Injection on both Dax and Cash, but Briscoe is still down.
- Jeff uses a title belt and hits a Stroke on Dax. Briscoe is woken up and slowly counts a near-fall, as Dax kicks out.
- FTR is able to score the victory on Jarrett to retain and celebrate with Mark afterward.
Backstage, FTR had to save Ricky Starks from an attack by Jay White and Juice Robinson.
Also backstage, Jericho and Saraya are livid. They demand a tag team match against Cole and Baker for Wednesday. Jericho even throws a fireball in the face of a stage hand trying to calm them down.
AEW TNT Championship Ladder Match: Wardlow (c) vs. Christian Cage
- My divided attention has seen a few ladder strikes and maneuvers like Christian dropkicking the ladder into Wardlow, but nothing that stands out.
- Arn Anderson took a long while to go down to help Wardlow.
- OUCH! Wardlow tried a spot where he’d jump into the ladder, but it got messed up. Both he and Christian went crumbling to the ground and could have potentially gotten injured.
- Wardlow tried to climb with that broken ladder, only for a referee to try to hold him up, but wave him off as to not do it.
- We’re getting Luchasaurus and Arn Anderson involved. Cage is on the outside, possibly being checked on.
- Arn bit Luchasaurus’s finger.
- Wardlow puts Luchasaurus on top of two tables, then climbs to the very top of the biggest ladder and does a Swanton Bomb to crash down onto Luchasaurus.
- Christian is stirring, but a minute or so later, Wardlow grabs the belt and he’s still our TNT champion.
AEW Women’s World Championship Match: Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Toni Storm
- Hayter was attacked by Ruby Soho and Saraya backstage. She’s able to get to the ring and the match starts, but she’s at a complete disadvantage.
- Baker tried to come out to help, as did Hikaru Shida, but it ultimately wasn’t enough. Storm scores a pinfall and wins the title.
- I wish I could have seen more of this match, even though I’ve been completely bored with this feud for almost an entire year as I was over this back during Forbidden Door last year. Putting the belt back on Storm doesn’t upgrade or downgrade it in my book. It’s a lateral move. The same people are still going to have the same lackluster feud for the next however many months regardless.
AEW World Trios Championship Open House Match: The House of Black (c) vs. The Acclaimed
- The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn have answered the challenge.
- Max Caster has a great line of “and Buddy acts all ominous, but he’s getting cucked by a kid named Dominik.”
- Anthony Bowens takes the brunt of the damage for this match. Max Caster’s been MIA for most of this, though.
- Hot tag to Billy Gunn, clearing house.
- I’ve had a few gaps in watching this match yet again, but Malakai Black scored the pin for The House of Black with his finisher on Billy Gunn.
AEW TBS Championship Match: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Taya Valkyrie
- Who this the title is in jeopardy? I’m not sold. Get your last minute predictions in now in the comments!
- One of the biggest pops from the crowd (or at least, that I noticed) was from Taya slamming Jade down with a face-first stomp to the mat.
- An even bigger pop, though, is Taya hitting her finisher and getting a VERY close near-fall two-count.
- A moment later, Jade’s fine and able to hit HER finisher, get a pin, and retain her title with a 60-0 record.
- After the match, Mark Sterling cut a promo about how Cargill has beaten everyone there is to beat. There’s nobody left. But out comes Kris Statlander!
- We’ve got an impromptu extra title match!
AEW TBS Championship Match: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Kris Statlander
- …and…not too long into it, Statlander gets the pin and the win! We have a new champion!
AEW World Championship Four Pillars Four-Way Match: MJF (c) vs. Darby Allin vs. Jungle Boy Jack Perry vs. Sammy Guevara
- During his entrance, Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo revealed they’re going to have a baby! Congrats!
- Darby Allin’s entrance video has him aided by an Elvis impersonator to beat up a guy with an MJF cut-out on his face. Uh….sure. Allin has an Elvis-themed outfit on tonight, too (with the left half being a skeleton).
- MJF is lowered on a throne for his entrance, which includes an orchestral version of his theme and some masked women reaching for him on the stage ramp.
- Unwritten rule of thumb: if you’re going for a frog splash, you pretty much have to do the Eddie Guerrero taunt, I guess.
- Someone in the crowd has a big poster of a cartoon version of Danny Devito, it seems. 10 points to that person for that sign.
- Lots of loud, verbal taunting from MJF here, calling Allin worthless and such.
- Cool sequence with Allin hitting a Scorpion Death Drop, Sammy following that on Allin with a Code Breaker, Jungle Boy hitting a Killswitch and MJF hitting Cross Rhodes. All four doing their mentor’s moves.
- MJF gets a microphone and says he saw the announcement of Tay being pregnant. Imagine how much they could use that money if Sammy just lays down. Sammy says he’ll do it, but it’s a ruse. He goes for a roll-up pin, but MJF kicks out.
- MJF and Jungle Boy are stuck in submissions. Not long after that, everyone’s twisted around with a Figure 4, armbar and ankle lock at the same time.
- Guevara does a Spanish Fly on Darby Allin to crash into MJF and Jack Perry on the outside. Nice.
- All 3 challengers decide to triple-team MJF and then try to catch each other in pinning combinations. Great sequence!
- MJF powerbombs Allin off the top rope, but can’t capitalize on a pinfall attempt.
- Low blow from MJF, who readies the Dynamite Diamond Ring for a strike, but Allin gets him from behind, knocks him down, hits a Coffin Drop and gets a two-count that is broken up by Jungle Boy.
- Jack Perry debates using the world title belt on Allin to win, but tosses it aside, not wanting to be like MJF. That indecision allows Allin and then Guevara to get back in control.
- Allin goes for a Coffin Drop. MJF puts the title belt on top of Perry so it’ll hurt Allin, too. The champ’s able to follow that up with a pin on Allin with a side headlock takeover for extra pizazz.
Anarchy in the Arena Match: Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) vs. The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson and “Hangman” Adam Page)
- They’re trying to capture the same magic as last time with Wild Thing still playing while the match starts. It isn’t feeling the same to me. Instead, this is just loud and obnoxious. That’s in part due to whoever is doing the live performance, I think. I’m eagerly awaiting them to just stop.
- Screwdrivers are out. All members of The Elite take a corner to rain down fists.
- The music is still going on, but I’m going to have to mute my TV if they don’t superkick this dude in the next minute. I can’t take this anymore.
- Four simultaneous suicide dives from The Elite.
- FINALLY The Young Bucks superkicked the lead singer and we’re done with the music…just as my B/R app mutes itself again (for the fifth time on this broadcast; you shouldn’t need to reset just to get audio after how many years of these shows?)
- There’s a leaf blower in the ring. That wouldn’t have been one of my 5 guesses for a weapon used here.
- Kenny Omega is channeling his inner Steve Rogers with his Captain America ring gear and the way he’s using that trash can lid like the vibranium shield.
- Matt Jackson hits an EXPLODING superkick on Moxley. And it didn’t look horrendous! Hey! Neat!
- Hangman Adam Page gets his Buckshot Lariat on Wheeler Yuta, but the pin is broken.
- Moxley hits a Death Rider, but can’t secure the victory.
- Matt Jackson was slammed into some tacks. Ouch.
- We’re now in a sequence of a lot of back and forth with an ultimate equalizer with Yuta low-blowing Matt. Then, they put thumbtacks in Matt’s mouth!
- Deadeye on Danielson, followed by a One-Winged Angel…but Yuta breaks it up!
- Omega hits a V-Trigger on Yuta. Don Callis goes into the ring and provides a distraction for Konosuke Takeshita to attack Omega.
- Yuta hits Omega in the head with a screwdriver and scores the pin for his team.
