Backstage: Jon Moxley

Taz is pissed off that both Brian Cage and Ricky Starks have been banned from the arena tonight because of their issues with Moxley and Allin.

Moxley earlier today says that when he was younger he struggled with a lot of demons. He says that earlier in his career he would go to the ring and it was like he was wrestling ghosts. He says that people that cared about him would try to talk him out of certain things and he says in some cases he wishes he would have listened to them because he paid a price, but in some cases he wouldn’t change a thing. He said he gets Darby Allin and he gets why Allin would want to challenge him for his title.

Moxley says he understands what Allin stands for but he is concerned for Allin’s health. He says he knows Allin will keep coming at him until he can’t move and it will never cross his mind that he nearly broke Allin’s neck last time they wrestled. He says that weighs on him and he doesn’t want on his resume that he ended Darby’s career, but the title is on the line and when he signed that contract he made himself just like everyone else. Mox says he won’t talk Allin out of anything but asks that when it’s time to stay down just stay down even though he knows he won’t listen because Mox wouldn’t either.

In-Ring: Debate Between Chris Jericho & Orange Cassidy, With Eric Bischoff as Moderator

Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho come down to the ring for their debate. Eric Bischoff is introduced as the special guest moderator for this debate. This is the first time Bischoff has been on TNT since 2000, as he was obviously the President of WCW for many years.

Bischoff says there will be five questions that have been picked at random from fans and neither Jericho nor OC have seen the questions. The first question is why they hate each other so much. Jericho mocks the way OC dresses, which causes OC to pull out a clip on tie and stick it to his shirt. OC says that is why he despises Cassidy, because he takes nothing seriously. Jericho says that people laugh at OC behind his back because he is nothing but a joke. He says he is a “ginger jackass that plays pocket pool on a regular basis.” OC just shrugs and doesn’t respond.

The next question is who is the better wrestler and the biggest star? Jericho laughs and says he is Le Champion and he has held 50 titles around the world, while OC has never even left the State of Florida. Jericho mocks what OC wears again and almost gets OC to corpse when he says that OC smells like old batteries. OC again just shrugs and doesn’t respond, though.

The third question is about global warming and rising sea levels but Jericho gets pissed and says that has nothing to do with this situation. OC actually goes into the way sea levels rise and why and the ways we can curb that as Jericho looks shocked.

The next question is why OC is so popular and Jericho mocks OC’s fans and says that he will pop him like a pimple and after he beats him he is going to send him back to working at “Jamba Juice.” OC again just shrugs.

The final question is why does this rematch mean so much to them. Jericho starts to answer it but OC cuts him off and tells him to shut up. OC says that Jericho scheduled a debate against a guy that doesn’t talk just to try and embarrass him. OC says he isn’t embarrassed because he doesn’t care. OC says he does care about next week, though. He says it is the biggest match of his life but it is also the biggest match of Jericho’s life, too. He asks Jericho to imagine what would happen if OC beat him. OC tells Jericho to look into the eyes of the man that will embarrass him and beat him.

Bischoff declares OC the winner of the debate and Jake Hager and Jericho attack OC. Hager sticks OC’s hands in his own pockets and then throws him into a Judas Effect that knocks OC’s glasses off.

Big Swole vs. Reba

Tony Schiavone interviews Britt Baker – in a Michael Jordan jersey – ringside and she announces that her choice of opponent for Big Swole will be Reba in her AEW in-ring debut. Reba freaks out as Baker tells her to get in the ring.

Swole immediately takes Reba down in a headlock and then she hits her from behind after Reba tried to counter it. Baker distracts Swole allowing Reba to hit her from behind and slam her into the turnbuckles. Reba hits a suplex and a Running Spin Kick in the corner. Reba slams Swole’s head into the mat repeatedly and then goes to the top but stumbles so she goes to the middle rope instead and misses a Moonsault. Swole obliterates Reba with the Dirty Dancing for the pin.

Winner: Swole via pinfall (Dirty Dancing)
