Chris Jericho vs. Anthony Bowens

This match is non-title. Jericho is very New York proud for this match. Bownes and Caster are still doing the slow burn for the split. Jericho tried to scissor with Bowens, who opted for chops and strikes instead. Bowens pounded Jericho down, and Caster popped up on the apron to celebrate. This gave Jericho his opening to attack. Jericho backdrop suplexed Bowens and chopped him around the corners. Jericho went for a bulldog, but Bownes sent him crotch first into the turnbuckles. Bowens got a near fall off a shining wizard. Jericho tried for a Lionsault, but Bowens blocked it and drove him to the map with a twisting hanging DDT for a near fall. Jericho came back and locked in the Liontamer as the show went to a split-screen break. 

Bowens spent the whole split-screen break in the Liontamer, and finally got to the ropes after the break ended. Jericho walked into a rolling forearm and a fameasser for a near fall. Bowens tried to go the top, but Jericho caught him. They fought on the top until Bowens sent Jericho to the floor. Bowens dove at (but not onto) Jericho and Big Bill. 

Back in the ring, Bryan Keith ran in, and this distracted allowed Max Caster to come in and slam Jericho, then set him up for Bowens to drop the scissor legdrop. Jericho hit a Codebreaker on Bowens for a near fall while Keith skulked around ringside with the belt. Bowens ducked a Judas Effect and hit a superkick for a near fall. Behind the referee’s back, Bryan Keith tried to attack Bowens with the ROH belt, but Max Caster ran in to stop him. They engaged in a tug-of-war with the belt, which predictably ended up Caster wacking Bowens. The ref turned around and saw Jericho on top of Bowens to get the pinfall.

Winner: Chris Jericho via Pinfall.

Video: Private Party

Private Party was very publicly partying all around New York City, leading to… 

Private Party (Zay & Quen) vs. Leo Sparrow & Alec Quest

Both the job guys looked like they could use a hot meal. Private Party quickly ended their night with the Gin and Juice.

Winner: Private Party via Pinfall.

After the match, Leo Rusk and Action Andretti came out to get in a brawl with the champs. Top Flight came out and soon all three teams were going at it, and security came out to break things up.

Backstage: Powerhouse Hobbs

Powerhouse Hobbs threatened the Don Callis family and promised to take the belt from Takeshita.

Thunder Rosa vs. Leila Grey

It’s an absolute injustice that 25 minutes into this show we haven’t seen Harley Cameron once. 

Rosa hit a sliding lariat for a near fall. Grey countered a bodyslam with a rollup for a near fall. Grey hit a shotgun dropkick. 

After the usual long commercial break, Rosa came back and hit Grey with a diving dropkick against the ropes. Grey hit a side effect for a near fall. Rosa backdropped her way out of double-underhook suplex, then locked in a camel clutch after screaming “you can’t kill me!” and Grey quickly tapped out.

Winner: Thunder Rosa via Submission.

Most of the match was during the split-screen break.

Tony ran down the card for tomorrow night with no new matches added. 

HOOK vs. Nick Wayne

Wayne jumped Hook from behind while he was standing in the corner with his back turned. Hook hit Wayne with an exploder suplex. Wayne came back with a suplex of his own. The fight soon went to the floor, where Wayne whipped Hook into the steel steps. While Wayne distracted the ref, Christian smacked Hook’s broken arm with his contract. The ref then ejected all of the Patriarchy from ringside. 

Wayne spent the entirety of the split-screen break working over Hook’s arm. After the break, Wayne ripped off Hook’s cast and started stomping on his arm. Finally, Hook came back with an exploder. The crowd was behind Hook. Hook tossed Wayne across the ring with a judo throw. A northern lights suplex was followed up with a fisherman’s suplex for a near fall. 

Wayne bit Hook’s arm and snapped his neck against the top rope. Wayne hit a frog splash for a near fall. Wayne stood over Hook and crossed his arms like Taz (although the commentator’s said Wayne was imitating Shibata, I think it was Taz). Hook popped up and floored Wayne with a clothesline. 

Kip Sabian and Christian tried to come back out and interfere again, but Shibata was behind them and chased them away with a 2×4. Back in the ring, Wayne countered several attempts at the Redrum. But, when he went for Wayne’s World, he dove right into Hook’s grip and he locked in the Redrum and choked Wayne out. 

Winner: HOOK via Referee Stoppage.

During the match, QT Marshall v. Jeff Jarrett, Toni Storm v. Leila Grey, The Outrunners & Top Flight  v. Lio Rush, Action Andretti & The Murder Machines were all advertised in graphics for Zero Hour tomorrow night.

Backstage: Death Riders, Darby Allin

In the back, The Death Riders murdered Darby Allin. Claudio Pillmanized his neck, and Moxley pushed him down a metal staircase. Pac stood there in his wrestling gear because Pac is awesome. And then they headed into the Hammerstein Ballroom. 

In-Ring: Death Riders, Komander, Top Flight, Orange Cassidy, Willow Nightingale, Hangman Adam Page, Jay White, AEW Locker Room

Back from the break, Jon Moxley was in the ring and he called out anyone with a problem with how he’s been acting. First came Komander, and he was immediately jumped by Claudio. Top Flight followed, and they were no help. Orange Cassidy’s music hit,but before he could hit the ring, Willow Nightingale’s music hit and she jumped into a brawl with Shafir. While this was happening, Adam Page and Jay White surrounded the ring and with Cassidy, evened the odds. Lio Rush and Andretti jumped Top Flight, and pretty soon everyone was out brawling with everyone. While everyone brawled at ringside. While everyone was brawling, Pac and Wheeler Yuta snuck to the control area and smashed the light board, knocking out the lights for the show. The brawl continued in the dark, but the Death Riders snuck out the back. 

Jon Moxley invaded the truck, and “put an end to Rampage,” cutting the show and sending it to black.
