AEW World Tag Team Championship
Kenny Omega & Hangman Adam Page (c) vs. The Natural Nightmares (Dustin Rhodes & QT Marshall)

This one gets boxing style championship intros from Justin Roberts. Allie is not at ringside with her new boyfriend QT Marshall. Rhodes and Omega kick things off with some nice chain wrestling that ends with Omega going straight for the One Winged Angel. Rhodes blocks it and elbows Omega sending him reeling into the corner.

Rhodes charges at Omega but Omega leapfrogs him and connects with a Hurricanrana. Rhodes knees Omega and hits a Diving Rana off the top and goes for the CrossRhodes but Omega escapes. Following that stalemate, Page and Marshall both tag in and begin their own series of chain wrestling.

A replay shows that Omega’s knee caught Rhodes flush on the head when he went up for the leapfrog. Marshall catches Page with a nice Sting-like Dropkick but Page answers with a Cowboy Kick. Omega tags in and hits a Springboard Polish Hammer to the ribs of Marshall as Page held him in place.

Omega goes for a Cross Body but Marshall catches him and counters into a Suplex before tagging Dustin back into the match. Rhodes hits a Back Suplex and then a Knee Drop. Tony Schiavone says that Dr. Britt Baker has told her that she is going to self isolate herself “because of all of that… you know.”

Rhodes and Marshall work Omega over in their corner with a number of quick tags. Omega is able to get some separation with a Leg Lariat before making the tag to Page. Page hits a big Rebound Lariat on Marshall. Page hits a Fall Away Slam and then a Slingshot Plancha onto Rhodes on the floor. Page hits a Sliding Lariat on Marshall in the ring for a nearfall.

Omega and Rhodes tag back in and Rhodes hits a series of clotheslines and an Uppercut.

Rhodes hits an Atomic Drop on Omega and then a Bulldog before connecting with a Snap Powerslam and then one for Page, as well. Rhodes goes up top and hits a beautiful Tumbleweed onto both Page and Omega. Rhodes tosses Omega to the floor and then follows up by throwing Page out with him. Rhodes hits a Somersault Senton onto both Page and Omega and as Omega is getting up Marshall hits the QT Special on him!

Back in the ring, Marshall hits a Diving Uppercut on Omega and then goes for the Diamond Cutter but Omega counters into the Snap Dragon. Rhodes comes in and hits Omega with the American Destroyer but eats a Lariat from Page. Page goes for a slam on Marshall but eats the Diamond Cutter! All four men are down as Allie walks onto the stage and tries to inspire QT.

Marshall climbs up to and attempts a Diving Moonsault but Omega rolls out of the way. Page tags in and the champs toss each other into elbows on Marshall in the corner. Page hits a Roaring Elbow and then tosses Marshall into an Assisted German Suplex from Omega for a nearfall. Rhodes broke up that pin attempt.

Page hits a Powerbomb on Marshall and then Omega hits the V-Trigger as Page hits a Plancha onto Rhodes on the floor. Omega gets another nearfall on Marshall. Omega and Page hit the Last Call for the pin on Marshall.

Winners: Page & Omega via pinfall (Last Call)

Anna Jay vs. Abadon

A vignette for Anna Jay airs with her talking about her love for wrestling. She says as soon as she signed with AEW she realized that she has to work even harder. She says that her biggest aspect is putting on a show and entertaining people, which is why she calls herself the “star of the show.”

Abadon has an insane, creepy look and a very unique entrance. Their running results from AEW Dark on a ticker at the bottom of the screen, which is a nice touch. Abadon attacks Jay at the bell and goes nuts on her. Abadon hits a Rana Driver for the quick pin.

Winner: Abadon via pinfall (Abadon)

In-Ring: The Dark Order, Colt Cabana, Anna Jay

The Dark Order comes down to ringside and Evil Uno hands Colt Cabana an envelope. Cabana opens it and stares up at Brodie Lee. The Dark Order also help Anna Jay out of the ring and Brodie offers her his hand, which she accepts.

MJF vs. Billy Gunn

Gunn hits a Hip Toss to start things off but MJF pokes him in the eyes and then ducks a Big Boot attempt only for Gunn to shove him and connect with one for a nearfall. MJF retreats up the ramp but Gunn follows him and drags him back to the ring.

MJF attempts to catch Gunn with a Jawbreaker onto the top rope but Gunn blocks it and goes for the Fameasser. MJF moves and hits a series of chop blocks to Gunn’s knee. MJF immediately goes on the attack on that knee with a series of knee strikes and cannonballs onto it.

MJF continues to work on Gunn’s knee until Gunn starts to get going again with a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker as MJF came off the ropes. Gunn goes for the Fameasser again but again MJF moves out of the way and Gunn sells the knee. He attempts a Splash but MJF moves and Gunn’s knee crashes inot the turnbuckles and MJF puts him in a Reverse Figure Four.

After MJF uses the ropes for leverage the referee makes him break it and he gets in her face. MJF goes for a Fameasser of his own but Gunn blocks it and connects with the Fameasser. Wardlow distracts the referee but eats a right hand from Gunn. Wardlow tosses MJF the AEW ring and then hits one of Gunn’s sons. Gunn goes to the outside and throws Wardlow into the barricade. AEW nails Gunn with the loaded punch as he gets back in the ring and gets the pin.

AEW TNT Championship
Cody (c) vs. Ricky Starks

Cody says that he found himself all alone last week after getting jumped and wonders if he’s even in The Elite anymore or if the Nightmare Family even a family anymore. “Kind of makes you wonder,” Cody says. Arn Anderson announces that Cody’s next opponent as former NWA Champion Ricky Starks.

In a vignette Starks talks about his career and about how he’s come from sleeping in his car and having nothing to being a true star. He says he’s the hottest free agent in wrestling and he’s here to prove himself.

Starks is most known for his run in Billy Corgan’s NWA but he has wrestled all over the world. This is actually my very first time seeing a full match from him. Jake Hager is shown watching backstage. Cody and Starks mat wrestle early on but it turns into a brawl quickly. Rhodes gets the advantage with a Dropkick and then he hangs Starks up in the ropes and kicks him in the ribs.

Starks hits a Superplex but immediately starts grabbing his neck when they land.

Starks hits a Flying Cross Body that sends both men flying over the top rope to the floor. Back in the ring, Starks and Cody exchange right hands and Cody attempts the Disaster Kick but Starks ducks and nails him with a Spear for another nearfall. Cody sweeps Starks’ legs and rolls him up for a nearfall. Both men exchange some nice counters and nearfalls until Cody connects with the CrossRhodes for the pin.

Winner & STILL TNT Champ: Cody via pinfall (Cross Rhodes)

The Young Bucks vs. The Superbad Squad (Kip Sabian & Jimmy Havoc)

The referee pats Havoc down before the match and discovers a pair of pliers on his person. Some bad weather knocks out my Dish at such an opportune time. When my signal comes back Butcher and Blade start to go after The Bucks when FTR come out and back them down.

Sabian and Havoc work over Matt Jackson in their corner with double team moves. They hit a series of Sliding Dropkicks in the corner and then Sabian catapults Matt into an eye poke from Havoc for a nearfall.

Nick Jackson gets the hot tag and connects with a series of kicks on both Sabian and Havoc.

He says that he wishes Fyter Fest right now and he says he doesn’t know what he wants more, to drop Moxley on his head or take his title.
