8-Man Tag Team Match – -1’s Birthday Celebration
“Hangman” Adam Page & The Dark Order (Colt Cabana, John Silver & Alex Reynolds) vs. Chaos Project (Luther & Serpentico) & The Hybrid2

The Dark Order comes to the ring and presents a birthday cake to Brodie Jr. and John Silver says that tonight they will be getting a brand new recruit in Adam Page but it’s also Brodie Jr.’s birthday. Brodie Jr. is wearing his dad’s ring jacket. Silver leads the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to Brodie Jr.

Luther and Serpentico interrupt the birthday celebration and Luther says they don’t care and says AEW is becoming a daycare center. He calls Brodie Jr. “Punkie Brewster” and bitches about him calling Luther stupid on AEW Dark. A “you look stupid” chant from the crowd serenades him. Luther says Brodie Jr. is the “doofus” and the Chaos Project doesn’t like children. He says they are going to ruin his birthday but Dark Order jumps them. TH2 hits the ring, as well. Adam Page runs out and hits a huge dive off the stage onto everyone!

Luther breaks out some interesting offense where he legitimately uses Serpentico and Angelico as weapons on his opponents. He Bulldogs Angelico onto Silver and Slams Serpentico onto him. Page comes in and his a house afire on all the heels, connecting with a big Spinebuster on Evans. Serpentico dives off the top into a Belly-to-Belly Release Suplex for a nearfall.

All eight men hit the ring and a brawl starts. Dark Order tosses TH2 and Luther to the outside and then Page hits a Roaring Elbow on Serpentico. Angelico comes in and eats a Fall Away Slam from Page. Page goes for a Plancha but Evans moves and then goes for a Spinning Enziguri off the apron. Page moves and Silver dives onto Evans. Reynolds hits a Somersault Plancha onto Luther and Serpentico on the outside. Page hits the Golden Moonsault onto Chaos Project and TH2!

In the ring, Silver and Reynolds climb on Page’s back and then he drops back into a Senton onto Serpentico for two. The Beaver Boys lift Serpentico up to Cabana on the top but Luther shoves Cabana off allowing Serpentico to hit a Superkick and DDT on Reynolds. Evans hits a 450 Splash off the top for two.

Evans goes for a dive onto Page on the outside but Page catches him and Powerbombs him into the front row. Luther drags Cabana onto the stage and is going to Powerbomb him onto the cake but Brodie Jr. hits him with a kendo stick allowing Cabana to backdrop him into the cake. In the ring, Silver and Reynolds break out a bunch of tandem offense on Serpentico capped off with a Buckshot Lariat from Page into a jackknife pin by Reynolds for the pin.

Winners: Dark Order & Page via pinfall (Buckshot Lariat)

In-Ring: The Dark Order, Hangman Page

The Dark Order holds Serpentico while Brodie Jr. brains him with a kendo stick. “My birthday was three days ago you idiots,” Brodie Jr. says.

Silver says Page is very handsome and he likes him a lot and asks if he will join the group. He even gets on his knee to ask the question. Page says he can’t but a bunch of confetti drops and “he said yes” appears on the big screen as they celebrate. They realize he actually said no and Page says he had fun hanging out with them but he’s done the group thing before and it didn’t end well.

Backstage: Chris Jericho, MJF

Alex Marvez approaches MJF and Jericho backstage about tonight’s match. MJF tells him to stop talking and says his breath smells like rats in an orgy. MJF says he is a little worried that the match could drive a further wedge between the group tonight. Jericho says it will actually bring them closer. He says they will move on as a unit no matter who wins tonight.

In-Ring: Sting, Darby Allin, Team Taz

Tony Schiavone says that Sting has something to say Darby Allin and The Icon makes his way down to the ring followed shortly after by the TNT Champ himself. Sting says there is something in Allin that reminds him of Sting and he calls Allin a phenomenal wrestler and congratulates him on being the TNT Champion. Sting says he wasn’t here to interrupt the match but just wanted to make sure he had a fair chance.

Taz interrupts him and appears on the screen with his crew. Taz tells Sting to shutup and says there was nothing about what they did last week and that they fight dirty. Taz says his group have been gentlemen but he grew up in the streets and they are all street fights so if they want to get in the streets they can do that, too.

Taz calls Sting and Allin bitches and challenges them to “take it to the streets.” Allin says if they want to take it to the streets they better be careful what they wish for because it might just happen.

Segment: The Young Bucks, Don Callis

Earlier today The Young Bucks show up at Kenny Omega’s house for a “meeting of The Elite.” Michael Nakazawa, acting like Omega’s assistant, brings them to Omega’s living room. They see a painting of Omega and Callis all muscled up in the living room and they laugh at it. Callis approaches them and the Bucks are pissed at him about what happened last week. Callis says that Omega is unable to attend this meeting today but he would give a message to him that they came.

Callis says that the Bucks have known Omega for a long time and gives them a check to “compensate” them for their time because Omega doesn’t have time to hang out with them. The Bucks get offended at Callis and says he wasn’t on those 12-hour bus rides in Japan with them and Omega. Callis says they were once good friends but now they’re holding Omega back. Matt rips up Callis’ check and says they used to work for Callis’ employer so he knows those checks aren’t good anymore. They attack Callis off screen.

Cody Rhodes vs. Pretty Peter Avalon

Cody immediately hits Avalon with the CrossRhodes but Jade Cargill comes out distracting him. Avalon kicks Cody in the nuts as the referee is telling Cargill to stay out of the ring. Avalon goes after Cody’s knee. Avalon hits a Superplex off the top. Avalon hits a Vertical Suplex for a nearfall. Cody and Avalon run into each other with clotheslines causing both men to crash and burn.

Avalon goes for a Diving Moonsault off the top but Cody moves and attempts to leapfrog Avalon only for him to land knee first on Avalon. Avalon dumps Cody to the floor and hits a Tope Suicida sending Cody into the guardrail. Avalon tosses Cody back in the ring but walks into a Cody Cutter. Cody hits a Powerslam and then puts him in a Figure Four. Avalon manages to roll over but Cody rolls it back and slaps Avalon in the face before Avalon taps.

Jon Moxley vs. Nick Comoroto

Winner: Moxley via KO (Rear Naked Choke)

In-Ring: Jon Moxley

Moxley says that anything can happen on AEW Dynamite and things are getting crazy around here. Moxley says he can’t keep track of who is in the Bullet Club or the Elite or Impact Wrestling. Omega says since Omega thought he could bring his “frat brothers from Nashville” to watch his back but all he did was make things more fun and provide more bodies for Moxley to break. Moxley says that the bigger the mountain to climb, the sweeter it is at the top. Moxley says that Omega can bring the whole city of Nashville or all of Mexico or Japan but it won’t matter because all roads lead through him.
