TNT Championship
Cody (c) vs. Eddie Kingston

As Cody Rhodes is being introduced, Eddie Kingston walks out and cuts a promo on Cody Rhodes. Eddie calls Arn Anderson a “used to be legend” and says that’s what Cody grew up around, while Eddie grew up around junkies and Cody would never survive a day in his life. Eddie says every person that Cody has faced has been a child and HE is a grown ass man that will put Cody in the ground and smile about it. Eddie says Tony Khan paid him to show up and now he’s paying him to kick Cody’s ass! Eddie says that Tony Khan told him he could face Cody but Cody had to accept. He says that Cody is either an egg sucking dog or a egg sucking bitch if he doesn’t accept. Cody accepts and makes it a No DQ Match!

Kingston attacks Cody just as he accepts the match and beats him all around ringside. The match spills back into the ring and Eddie starts lighting him up with some nasty chops. Cody fights back and avoids a Spinning Back Fist before connecting with a Disaster Kick. Kingston rolls out to the floor but Cody follows him with a Tope Suicida.

Cody rolls Kingston back into the ring and then connects with a Missile Dropkick off the top. Cody pulls off his weight belt and hits Kingston with it but Kingston takes it away and starts beating the hell out of Cody with it as they spill to the floor. Kingston pulls back the protective mat at ringside and attempts to Piledrive Cody on it but Cody backdrops him.

Kingston tosses Cody into the ring and hits a Backdrop Driver and then connects with a bunch of stiff strikes in the corner. Kingston puts the boots to Cody and screams at him to stay down before putting him in a Chinlock. Kingston takes Cody down with a series of clubbing blows to the back and is selling his own knee pretty hard after he seemed to twist it earlier.

Kingston whips Cody into the ropes and connects with a Lariat and then locks in the Stretch Plum before just blatantly kicking him in the head. Kingston locks in a Dragon Sleeper but Cody manages to fight out only for Kingston to poke him in the eyes. Kingston goes for a Back Suplex but Cody lands on his feet and chops Kingston’s injured knee.

Cody tries to whip Kingston into the corner but Kingston’s leg gives out. As Cody goes to pick him up, Kingston low blows Cody and then points at his head before connecting with a DDT. Kingston goes to the floor and pulls out a bag of tacks from under the ring and spreads them out in the ring. Kingston hits a series of headbutts and dares Cody to fight back.

Kingston attempts to slam Cody onto the tacks but Cody escapes and kicks Kingston in the knee. Cody then goes for the Cop Killa but Kingston blocks it and Powerbombs Cody into the tacks! The look on Arn’s face after that was worth the price of admission alone. Kingston follows up with a Backdrop Driver but Cody shows off some fighting spirit as he shoots up and hits a Lariat. Both men are down now.

Cody gets to his feet and tries to lock in the Figure Four but Kingston starts slapping him. Cody gets pissed off and absolutely smacks the ever loving shit out of Kingston before locking in the Figure Four! Kingston fights it but ultimately taps!

Winner & STILL TNT Champ: Cody via submission (Figure Four)

Earlier today Jon Moxley says in a world where so many people are full of it he believes in being real. He says when he says he is going to do something he does it. He says he was going to rip the tendon out of Cage’s arm when Taz saved him. He says he’s disappointed he didn’t get to hear the sound of Cage’s arm popping like a water balloon but says next time he won’t let go.

MJF vs. Griff Garrison

MJF comes out for his match next and taunts his opponent. He says he is a prodigy but also has a heart of gold but then gives his opponent – who he calls “Jungle Man” – which he corrects him as its Griff Garrison. MJF mocks Garrison for calling himself the “Ivy League MVP” and says he doesn’t look like he could even graduate finger painting. MJF talks about being undefeated but Garrison reminds him that he lost a tag team match at Fyter Fest. MJF hits him with the microphone.

MJF beats Garrison around the ring. MJF cuts a promo mid-match and says he thinks he and Griff got off on the wrong foot because he said something that upset him. MJF says he has never been pinned or submitted, so that would mean he is still undefeated. He demands Griff tell everyone he is undefeated but he slaps the microphone away. MJF stands on Griff’s hand and then stomps it and screams at him to tell everyone he is undefeated. MJF hits the Heat Seeker for the pin.

Winner: MJF via pinfall (Heat Seeker)

Segment: Britt Baker, Rebel

Earlier tonight Tony Schiavone spoke to Rebel for an update on Britt Baker after her nasal surgery last week. Baker screams at “Reba” to come help her, so Tony approaches her. Baker reminds us of the nose injury she suffered against Shida earlier this year and says that Big Swole targeted her nose again a few weeks ago. Baker said even with the injury she is set for the biggest comeback ever.

Baker says she is like Michael Jordan and will have a comeback even greater than his comeback the Wizards. Tony reminds her that the Wizards never made the playoffs, which pisses Baker off. Reba says Michael was great in Space Jam and he always beats the Monstars, though.

In-Ring: Taz, Brian Cage, Darby Allin, Ricky Starks, Jon Moxley

Footage of AEW Dark last night is shown where Ricky Starks joined up with Brian Cage. Taz and Cage come to the ring and Taz says that he and Cage had a lot of heated discussions over the last week. Taz says Cage almost fired him but cooler heads prevailed when he explained to him why he threw the towel in. Taz says it was a business decision because he realized the longer Moxley had Cage in that Armbar the likelier his surgically repaired arm would be injured again.

Taz says he stands by what he did because he can assure everyone that Cage will never be in that position again, ever. Taz says he would never tap because he isn’t wired to tap, which is why he is the FTW Champion. He says Cage has a FTW mindset, “no surrender, no quit.”

Darby Allin interrupts Taz but Ricky Starks attacks him from behind. Cage Powerbombs Allin on the ramp and then Powerbombs him into the ring where Starks hits him with a Dominator. Jon Moxley runs out with a baseball bat and chases Moxley and Starks off.

Backstage: The Inner Circle

Earlier today, Alex Marvez interviewed The Inner Circle. Jericho is still wearing his jacket covered in orange juice and he says that jacket cost him $7,000 and it’s ruined because of Orange Cassidy. Jericho says he is going to ruin OC’s career now. He says that the Jurassic Express thought it was so funny what happened last week, so they’re going to embarrass them this week. Jericho says Luchasaurus isn’t really a dinosaur but they’re going to make him extinct tonight anyway.

This is Ivelisse’s debut in AEW but she is a longtime international wrestler, most known for her time in Lucha Underground. Diamante has wrestled a few times in AEW but is most known for her time as a member of LAX in Impact.

In-Ring: Hangman Page, The Dark Order, FTR, Kenny Omega

Page dares The Dark Order to get in the ring with him, which brings out Brodie Lee and Colt Cabana. Brodie says he has been nothing but impressed with Page but what he isn’t impressed with is his lack of friends and lack of a tag team partner when he is clearly in immediate danger. Brodie says he isn’t here to beat Page up but he is here to offer protection for him. Brodie says that Dark Order would never leave Page alone and that is what they offer him.

Page says he appreciates all of the compliments and the offer but he says he isn’t ready to join a cult right now. Lee says that he just made his bed and he hopes that he enjoys his sleep in it. Lee and Cabana walk to the back and the rest of the Dark Order hit the ring. Page goes after them but the numbers quickly get the better of him.

Omega finally gets to the ring but Dark Order had already run off. Page shakes hands with FTR and drinks a beer with them as Omega looks annoyed.
