AEW All Atlantic Championship
Pac (c) vs. Trent Beretta

Pac is wrestling immediately after defending the Trios Championship on Rampage. He stayed in the ring as Trent made his entrance.

Trent mostly dominated the match for the first few minutes, with the story being that Pac is tired from just having a match. A vicious piledriver a few minutes in by Trent really got the crowd into the match.

Trent brought Pac to the ramp to hit him with a suplex but Pac reversed and hit a brainbuster off of the elevated stage through a table down below!!! Holy shit. Trent landed brutally, with Excalibur pointing out that his (previously surgically repaired) neck landed near where the table legs are. Pac’s back was also bleeding pretty badly.

Pac brought Trent into the ring and went for a Black Arrow but Trent got his knees up! Trent then hit Pac with a half and half suplex off of the middle rope! Awesome match.

Trent went to grab Pac but Pac suddenly locked on the Brutalizer! But Trent was able to get his foot on the rope.

Pac went to the outside and grabbed the ring bell hammer again behind the ref’s back… Trent picked him up for a back body drop but Pac hit him in the head with the hammer. 1-2-3. Awesome match with a bummer ending.

Winner: Pac

A furious Orange Cassidy ran out after the match and started beating on Pac until security and referees pulled him away.

Backstage: Chris Jericho, Matt Menard & Angelo Parker

Jade Cargill (c) vs. Willow Nightingale

This was a back and forth match, with Willow getting a lot of offense in. The crowd was behind her.

In the end, Willow went for a Doctor Bomb, but Jade escaped and slammed Willow down, then hit her with Jaded for the win. Match was “fine.”

Stokely showed a video on his iPad of Matt “contract tampering” with Private Party. Matt said it’s not contract tampering because he’s not trying to sign them to contracts, he just likes them. He said that he’s going to “delete” Ethan Page’s face if he sticks it in his business again. Page got in his face, but Stokely broke it up and he and Page walked off.

ROH World Tag Team Championship
FTR (c) vs. Gates of Agony

ROH ring announcer Bobby Cruise was wearing a neck brace following Jericho’s attack on him on Wednesday.

The Ass Boys were in the crowd dressed like FTR (bald cap, mustache) and taunted the champs during their entrance.

Gates of Agony dominated the first few minutes, with the crowd basically dead. Cash got a hot tag to Dax and FTR hit a little offense.

FTR went for the Big Rig on Toa Liona twice but he was too big… but the third try was a charm. But Kaun ran in to prevent the pin. Prince Nana got up on the apron to distract the ref, but Dax threw Kaun into him, knocking him off. Backslide by Dax on Kaun, 1-2-3. Very basic match with not a lot of crowd reaction.

Winners: FTR

Gates of Agony immediately attacked FTR after the match. Brian Cage ran out to help with the beat down. Wardlow’s theme hit and he ran out to attack the heels, but they outnumbered him. Samoa Joe was out next and cleaned house in like five seconds. The faces celebrated in the ring as FTR’s theme hit and the show ended.
