Miro & Kip Sabian vs. Joey Janela & Sonny Kiss

Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford make their way to the ring and Sabian says it’s now time for the in-ring debut of the most handsome man ever, Miro. He says Miro isn’t just his best man, he is THE best man.

This is Miro – the former Rusev’s – in-ring debut in AEW. He’s wearing sort of boxing style trunks. Sonny Kiss and Sabian square off to start off and Kiss shows off his athleticism before Sabian tags in Miro. Before Miro can do anything Sabian blind tags Miro and they taunt the crowd.

Janela and Kiss double team Sabian in their corner and connect with a series of double team moves capped off by a Standing Moonsault from Kiss for a nearfall. Sabian tags Miro and he destroys Kiss with a Big Boot and then a Spinning Uranage Slam on Janela. Sabian tags back in and isolates Kiss in the corner.

Winners: Miro & Sabian via submission (The Accolade)

In-Ring: Eddie Kingston, Jon Moxley

Eddie Kingston makes his way to the ring and reminds everyone that he is getting his shot at the World Title tonight. He says he was never eliminated from the Casino Battle Royal and that’s why he’s getting the shot. He says that 18 years in the business is why he deserves it. He says that he and Moxley used to be cut from the same cloth but then Moxley sold his soul to the devil and went to the “land of sports entertainment.”

Kingston calls Moxley a “sports entertainer” and says he wants to look into his eyes and Moxley doesn’t make him wait long as he comes right out. They get into each other’s faces but security and referees run out and separate them.

Hangman Adam Page vs. Evil Uno

Kenny Omega comes out to do guest commentary for the next match. Excalibur says that AEW offered the next match as Page & Omega against The Dark Order but Omega declined and has asked AEW to not rank he and Page in the tag team rankings. Omega says that he turned the match down because it wouldn’t affect his singles record and he is a singles wrestler now and the tag team part of him is dead now.

This is Uno’s first singles match in AEW. Uno and Page exchange shoulder tackles but then Page gets back to his feet and connects with a Cowboy Kick. Page hits a Snap Suplex for only a one count. Page hits a Fireman’s Carry Slam and then hits a Deadlift Pump Handle Fall Away Slam and bridges into a nearfall.

Uno and Page exchange chops and Uno catches Page with a Back Suplex. Uno puts the boots to Page in the corner but Page sidesteps a charging Uno and then hits a Springboard Clothesline knocking Uno to the floor. Page hits a Slingshot Plancha onto Uno and then back in the ring he walks into a Hanging Neckbreaker from Uno.

Uno nails Page with a Back Elbow that sends him crashing through the ropes onto the stage. Several of the Dark Order members surround Page but Uno stops them and tells them that he has control. Uno argues with Cabana and makes them all go to the back. Uno then eats a Back Suplex onto the apron from Page. Page goes for a Flying Clothesline off the top but Uno moves only for Page to come right back with a Fall Away Slam and a Standing Shooting Star Press for a nearfall.

Page hits a series of Running Clotheslines in the corner but eats a Pump Kick from Uno as he goes for a third one. Uno hits a Swanton Bomb off the top for a nearfall.

Winner: Page via pinfall (Buckshot Lariat)

Backstage: The Young Bucks, Tony Schiavone

Earlier today Tony Schiavone went to interview The Young Bucks and Nick Jackson says that they’ve been out of line recently. He says they should have never put their hands on Marvez or “that jocky looking ref” and calls him a “poser.” He says they’ve lost title opportunities and more importantly relationships with friends they thought they would be friends with forever. Nick says they will do better.

Tony asks Nick about FTR but he refuses to answer anything about them. Tony again asks about FTR but Nick asks him if he has his phone and then he slams it against the wall and breaks it. Nick says he feels terrible about that and then gives him some money to get an upgrade and throws the money on the floor.

TNT Championship
Brodie Lee (c) vs. Orange Cassidy

OC puts his sunglasses on Anna Jay but Brodie takes them and throws them back at OC. OC does his lazy kicks to Brodie but it does not amuse the Exalted One. He uppercuts the hell out of OC and then puts the boots to him. OC ducks underneath a clothesline and hits a dropkick sending Brodie to the floor. OC goes for a Tope Suicida but the Dark Order catches him outside. Lee then goes back in the ring and hits his own Tope Suicida onto all of them.

Lee rolls OC back in the ring and hits an Elbow Drop for a nearfall. Lee kicks OC back out of the ring where the Dark Order jumps on him while Lee distracts the referee. Back in the ring, Lee hits a Slingshot Somersault Senton for another nearfall. Lee once again tosses OC to the floor and Dark Order put the boots to him while Lee distracts the ref.

Lee gets pissed at John Silver for dropping his title and throws him into the guardrail. OC attempts to catch Lee with a Swinging DDT but Lee counters into a Black Hole Slam for a nearfall.

Lee hangs OC up in the ropes and catapults him into the middle rope. Lee hits a series of Half Nelson Suplexes. Lee picks OC up and goes for the Spinning Lariat but OC just crashes to the mat. Lee goes for a second time and OC again collapses to the mat. Every time the referee checks on him but he says he’s okay. Lee kicks at OC but he ducks and rolls him up for a nearfall.

In-Ring: Cody, The Dark Order

The lights go out as Lee celebrates and Cody Rhodes’ music hits. Cody appears out of a bunch of smoke as a platform raises under the stage. Cody destroys the other Dark Order members and Lee retreats. Cody now has black hair and is wearing all black.

Backstage: Brodie Lee

Brodie Lee freaks out backstage and says that Cody has been gone for five weeks while Lee has been doing the work that needs to be done. Brodie asks what kind of man asks another man to do his own work and asks what if he saw what he did to Dustin and what Anna Jay did to Brandi? Lee asks Cody what kid of man allows his wife to post Instagram “Thirst traps” while calling Brodie “daddy.” He says that Cody is no man and sooner or rather he will cut Cody down again. He grabs a dog collar and says he’s going to wrap it around Cody’s neck and he gives Cody one week to answer him asking if he is a man or coward.

In-Ring: Matt Hardy, Private Party, The Inner Circle

Matt Hardy and Private Party make their way to the ring and Matt addresses the attack on him last week. Hardy says he’s been trying to figure out who would have the motivation to attack him in such a cowardly fashion and someone screams, “Jeff.” Matt says he had a heated argument with both MJF and Brodie Lee recently and says everyone knows his long storied history with The Inner Circle.

Matt says whoever attacked him was wearing a mask or a face covering and he knows someone hit him with a pipe or a bat. He mentions Hager and Jericho walking around with a bat after he was attacked. Matt says Jericho is his prime suspect and he says Private Party tore the house down last week and were “this close” to beating Jericho and Hager. Matt says the only reason they won is because they used the same bat to win.

Matt botches the “more things change, the more they stay the same” line and then says Jericho will always just be known as an asshole.

Jericho leads the Inner Circle – minus Sammy – onto the stage and sarcastically wishes Hardy a Happy Birthday. Jericho says that Inner Circle are down a man because of what Matt did to Sammy. Jericho says no one knows he can come back but then says he lied and Sammy walks through the tunnel and hugs Jericho.

Jericho says he is a son of a bitch but if he was going to take Matt out with a bat he would do it face to face so that Matt could see the happiness in his face as he did it. Matt says he didn’t do it last week but he will hit him with the bat tonight if he would like. Matt says he will fight any of them at any time but Marq Quen cuts him off.

Quen tells him to take his time and get cleared because they need him. Quen says that he laid Jericho out last week and Kassidy says he appreciates Matt and Quen having his back last week but he says he has it tonight. Kassidy challenges Jericho to face him tonight and Kassidy says he knows Jericho is a legend but what if a 23-year old kid from Brooklyn beat Jericho on Dynamite. He says next week he is going to make Jericho his “Le Champion bitch.”

In-Ring: FTR, Best Friends

Schiavone interviews FTR and Tully Blanchard in the ring. Tully says that every week there are thousands of new fans that get a chance to see the greatest tag team in the world for the first time. Tully says that he has had the rules changed to make tag team title matches on TV to 20-minute time limits and they are going to pick their opponents. Next week they are going to defend the titles against SCU. Tully says that if the team doesn’t beat FTR then FTR gets the win.

Dax starts to talk about who the next challengers would be after they beat SCU and calls Best Friends “backyard wrestlers,” which brings them out. Trent challenges them to face to put the titles on the line right now. FTR agrees to it but then they stop and say that this match wouldn’t be fair because Best Friends are beat up. So, they should rest up and maybe in a few weeks they will give them a shot.

Hikaru Shida & Thunder Rosa vs. Diamante & Ivelisse

Rosa is wearing face paint in honor of Road Warrior Animal. The heels attack Rosa and Shida as they make their entrance. They toss Rosa to the floor and double Shida in the ring. They hit a Double Back Suplex for a nearfall. Shida comes back with a Backbreaker on Diamante and then she lays her out on the apron where she and Rosa both kick her in the head.

Back in the ring, Shida hits a Scoop Slam on Diamante and tags Rosa. Shida Suplexes Rosa on top of Diamante for a nearfall. Rosa hits a beautiful series of Armdrags on Diamante and then connects with a Scoop Slam followed by a Backsplash Senton for another nearfall.

Rosa cuts her off and pulls her into a DVD. Shida then hits the Falcon Arrow for a nearfall. Ivelisse broke up that pin attempt. Rosa tosses Ivelisse to the floor and Shida kills Diamante with the Tamashii no Three Count (Flying Knee) for the pin.

Winners: Shida & Rosa via pinfall (Tamashii no Three Count)

Backstage: Chris Jericho, MJF

Jericho accepts Kassidy’s challenge for next week. MJF walks up and says he can’t believe what that “little twerp” said to him earlier. They both blow smoke up each other’s asses, like they did a few weeks ago, until they both ask the other why they called the other a “loser.” MJF says he was calling his limo driver a loser and Jericho says he was calling Schiavone a loser. They laugh at Schiavone and make fun of him and then say the other is alright.
