This is the first time these two have ever faced each other one-on-one. Cash Wheeler stays in the back instead of coming with Dax. Punk is wearing his long tights tonight.

After the match, Punk gestured to the camera like wrapping something around his neck.

Excalibur asked what title he meant, so it seems like they may be teasing Hangman vs. Punk.

Backstage: Jericho Appreciation Society

In the back, the JAS cut a promo on the Dark Order. Jericho says John Silver just getting in the ring with him puts him on a new level, just not Jericho’s level. He says he’s going to take Silver to school.

In-Ring: Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson & William Regal

Regal walks down to the ring as Moxley grabs the microphone. Moxley says he is lucky and blessed because he has been fortunate enough to compete with the best in the world and learn from the best in the world but there is only one man that’s opinion he has ever cared about and that is William Regal. Moxley says the seal of approval from Regal is not easy to get and he earned it. He says he wears that “Blackpool badge of honor” with honor just like his friend Bryan Danielson. He calls Danielson the “perfect wrestler” and says they were forged in combat.

Moxley says that if you want to get in the ring with them you better step up or get stepped on. Moxley says anyone that anyone that thinks they have what it takes to ride with the three most sadistic people in the business, you better reach deep down into your soul and find a place where you love pain to earn a badge of honor from the “Blackpool Combat Club” the only way to get it is the hard way.

In-Ring: MJF, Wardlow

MJF comes out and a security detail is posted up at ringside. MJF says unlike Wardlow he is a man of word and he honors his business agreements. He says it’s just sad that Wardlow was simply not good enough to beat Scorpio Sky. MJF says that Punk knows that he had him beat at Revolution, just like he beat him twice in Chicago. MJF says Punk had to cheat to win and that he doesn’t know when or where but there will be another match. He says when he faces Punk again he will give him the most embarrassing loss of his career.

MJF says it will never be over between he and Punk until he attends Punk’s funeral and pissses on his grave. MJF says that if it wasn’t for him no one would know Wardlow and without him he wouldn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. He says thanks to MJF, Wardlow has a roof over his mom’s head. He says Wardlow repaid him by screwing him out of his biggest match.

MJF says that Wardlow signed a deal with the devil when he signed with MJF and he’s about to make his life a living hell. MJF says that if he tells Wardlow to jump he will ask how high. He even says if he wants to kick Wardlow’s “skank mother” out of her house there is nothing he can do about it. He says he OWNS Wardlow.

Wardlow walks down and obliterates the security guards. More security runs out and they hold him down. MJF says he doesn’t work for AEW, he works for him. MJF says he’s trespassing because he doesn’t want Wardlow here. MJF says he’ll keep paying him but he’s just going to pay him to stay home until everyone forgets he even existed.

Backstage: Trent Beretta, Wheeler Yuta, Best Friends

In the back, Trent says he never liked Wheeler Yuta but OC and Chuck Taylor took him under their wing. He says he repays them by trying to join forces with Regal. Trent is done with him and Yuta says he never liked Trent either. He says he’s not trying to be the Best Friend he can be, he’s trying to be the best wrestler.
