Those who face a moment in time of unshakable turmoil

must sometimes find another way forward.

To see Adam has agreed to help me with my problem.

And in turn, I have agreed to help him with his FTR problem.

Go north.

The best tag team of all time.

It's time that I take my pound of flesh all out. It's CNC

versus FTR.

Go north and find your reason.

The problem, that will solve you. Jarby Allen has returned.

Not all out. These two men will clash in a cuffing match. I'm going to put you

in the ground.

Go north and stake your claim.

Do you want to get nuts?

It's Jamie Hayden. Bitches, let's get bloody ballistic.

championship. As full of potential as you are, you are not ready.

A massive night of action and rivalry beyond compare.

And in Toronto, go all out.

And now, Live from Toronto, AEW presents All

Out.

It's Saturday!

Do you know what that means?

All Elite Wrestling presents All Out, live from Toronto.

Gentlemen, joined by the ineffable Tony Schiavone. We have a massive, massive

program in store for you tonight.

But we do have an empty seat at our announce desk.

And that was the voice of Arkady Ora. Tony, we have just a phenomenal night

lined up here in Toronto.

What a night. Take a look at this crowd. It's caliber top to bottom. A

tremendous card.

Brian Danielson brings the house down to begin things.

Brian will be joining us at the announce desk for the duration of our program.

And we are kicking things off in an exceptional fashion.

It is a tag team.

moments away.

FTR said they are out to end the career of Cope. You put me on the shelf for

four months that I don't have.

At Forbidden Door, we took care of my problem.

Now it's time to take care of Adam's problem.

And when we dragged you into the deep water, you're back. for mercy, you will

understand why. There is only one Cope and Cage.

Cage and Cope.

Ten world championships over seven different brands. We are one of one.

For you, for you, this is a dream match.

Yes, you are now in the discussion of being one of the greatest tag teams of

time. Well, welcome to the club. We've been here for 25 years.

It's time that I ate my pound of flesh.

Six years ago, we helped you get your career.

Back home bird here. Oh, look at Gerald Sittler. A killer. The history here.

Come on.

Yeah. Wendell Clark.

Toughest man alive. The toughest hockey player ever. Mr. Maple Leaf. My favorite

hockey player of all time. Wendell Clark.

Wendell Clark.

Go for the throwdowns there tonight.

We will. We will, Clarky. Can I call you Clarky?

Clark, you did. I can't

believe you didn't know how to win

a card.

You weren't even friendly to the guy. He's a legend. What is your... Bubbles?

Hey, bud.

I just want to say good luck with the big fight today. You know, if you need

help, I'm sort of... No, no, we got it. We're good. We don't need your help.

The Green Bastard.

I'm parts unknown.

Green Bastard, what are you doing here? I'm here. I got your backs if anything

goes down.

Okay, a little bit of advice.

Just between us legendary wrestlers.

Start fucking hammering, people. No mercy.

Oh, my God. Just throw an object. Check the oil.

Wake and bake. Oh, that's musty.

Too much chlorine in the jean pool, if you ask me. I'm out of here.

Talking about glory.

He's an asshole.

But he's my asshole.

Secret master.

Christian Cage, a chorus of boos. Great FTR and Brian. I mean, it's a feel -good

moment to see Cope and Christian together in a ring inside Toronto.

But this is a grudge match of the highest magnitude.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the heat between these two teams, the animosity,

unbelievable.

But this is a match I'm truly excited to see. I can't wait to see what goes down

in this one.

Well, it's a grudge match between, arguably,

Two of the greatest tag teams ever.

And not only that, you know there has to be butterflies for Coke and Christian.

They're back home for the first time in 21 years together.

That's over 8 ,000 days.

And notice what's on the bridge of the nose of Dax.

Yeah, did you see his nose after Wednesday night? Right.

Christian Cage breaking the nose of Dax Harwood just a few days ago with the

microphone in that melee we saw in September to remember.

Yeah, just to clarify there, chanting no hoes towards Stokely, not noes towards

Dax, although it would be appropriate for both, the chant.

This is a big moment, guys. I'm telling you.

We've called a lot of matches here in AEW. I don't know we've called one with

much.

and this Toronto crowd is jacked.

Both Christian Cage and Adam Copeland, not too long ago, Brian, thought

that they were at the end of the road as far as their careers were concerned.

Some would call it a miraculous second act for both Cope and Christian, but it

is FTR that tried to end that second act for the rated -R superstar Adam

Copeland. What makes this so deeply personal? Yeah, yeah. This is an

personal issue, and especially for people who are so close to the FTR and

Copeland. I mean, you heard Cash Wheeler talk about how Adam Copeland let him

come in and live in his house.

Yeah, after Adam Copeland was injured, left the ring, he trained with FTR.

Yeah, absolutely.

So they were instrumental in Adam Copeland coming back, and now they have

said... That they want to end his career. They even said that leading up

match.

So we know what their motive is. Let's see if it plays out.

That's what they said, but that's also what they attempted to do. Remember when

it was rated FTR, they felt like FTR did. That they were perpetually in the

shadow of the rated R superstar.

And then using that chair, putting Copeland on the shelf for four months.

Oh my goodness.

to that nose. I think that nose hit the post.

Reverse DDT. Cover.

Christian Cage concentrating his attack on the broken nose of Dax Harwood. Great

teamwork early.

How about this? Good tag by Copeland Christian.

Big double hip toss. Cover for Copeland, but just a one count as Dax retreats to

the corner.

Smart move. Get out of there.

Yeah, it'll also kind of calm down the crowd a little bit in theory.

You know, I can't help but view Toronto as a central character in this match.

You put this in any other city in the world and my money's on FTR.

I mean, they're a well -oiled machine who have been teaming consistently for

years. But this is only Cope and Christian's second match together in a

long time.

But Brian, can you get too fired up being at home, waiting for this moment?

Yeah, I mean, you can. It's an open question. Can you get... Sometimes the

adrenaline rush, if there's an adrenaline dump in the middle of this

could really favor FTR.

And Brian, to your earlier point, this is the first time we saw Adam Copeland

and Christian Cage on the same side.

It was last month at Forbidden Door, but before that, you have to go back to

2011, the last time they had teamed together.

Cat Wheeler takes down Copeland.

Copeland leapfrogged.

Beautiful fast press from Adam Copeland Tag made Christian cage legal now

Side DT combination And

once again a Christian cage gets in the face of Paul Turner for a moment you

talked about the time between Wrestling as a tag team 2011 now remember during

that time FTR was winning matches fighting a lot Winning matches, winning

championships. And winning championships every step of the way. Yeah, hundreds

of matches together, wrestling in companies all over the world, winning

all over the world. But look at Christian Cage.

He's not afraid to cut some corners.

Boom. Right hand, and Dax Harwood did make a blind tag. I'm not sure Christian

Cage is aware.

Paul Turner is doing a count here to get Cash out of the ring.

Christian. The floor, uppercut, misses, and... Cash Wheeler.

And Dax, oh, combination here.

Oh, DDT. Dax is legal, remember.

Getting on the floor, I think, was a bad move. It's easy to say that now, Brian,

but we talked about the adrenaline, and Christian was looking great until that

time. Yeah, but FTR lured him into a trap there.

I mean, that's one of the things FTR's so good about.

They don't even have to talk to each other to communicate.

Yeah, the nonverbal cues of FTR, just one of the hallmarks of a fantastic tag

team.

Dax, the right hands, battering Christian Cage

down in the corner.

Yeah, super stiff and quick jabs from Dax Harwood.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to break Christian's nose here in this

match, just as retribution.

Drop toe hold there. Great move.

Dax floats over.

Great move by Dax after absorbing those blows.

And now Stomp, boot placed right between the shoulder blades of Christian Cage.

FTR, Brian, to your point, has taken the crowd out of this match. They have

slowed the pace down.

And you can tell Toronto, they want to explode. They want to support Cope

and Christian.

But FTR is making it difficult for them to do so. Yeah, I mean, we probably

don't talk enough how... about how great FTR is. I mean, it's somehow with

Stokely, they've even become better in recent months because I think he can see

things from outside the ring that they couldn't see in the ring together.

And that's an incredible thing to add that to an incredible tag team like FTR.

And you have to also remember, Tony, that Stokely, he's played an

role. in helping FCR win over the last few months, whether it's the assist on

the pin or the powder in the eyes. Right, absolutely. And he's also put his

on the line for them as well. So they trust Oakland.

Great job of keeping Christian in their side of the ring, in their corner,

isolating him from Adam Copeland.

And look at the leverage that Dax Holloway places on even a simple move

chin lock. I mean, his fundamentals are incredible.

We saw Christian Cage trying to readjust the positioning of the elbow to allow

Christian to maneuver to his feet, which he is in the midst of doing so.

Right hands to the midsection of Dax Hardwick, but Dax, oh, no, jawbreaker.

Christian finally able to create some space.

There we see FTR.

The man in between the opposing corner, but Christian Cage.

Now with a chance. He rolled the wrong way, and now he's got a little bit

further to go than he had. He's right in the center of the ring.

And there again, the block. That's classic FTR tag team wrestling here.

You see Christian Cage trying to drive toward the corner, but Dax Wheeler

sweeping the leg of Adam Copeland.

And now nobody home for Christian Cage in the corner.

Copeland sees it, but Dax.

Dax cuts.

Now FTR.

Combination offense.

The two -time former AEW World Tag Team Champions cover now. Two and all.

Christian Cage, very late kick out there.

Yeah, see, and I wonder if not being able to make that tag is going to rub

Christian a little bit raw.

You know, he was the one who was more hesitant to reform this tag team with

Copeland.

And, you know, he can be a spiteful, bitter man.

You most certainly can. I mean, the last time.

Oh, that's in the face of Cash Wheeler. I was going to say, the last time Adam

Copeland and Christian Cage shared a ring in Toronto, they were on opposing

sides of that wild street fight. That's where Spike came into the picture, and

now Copeland comes into the picture.

Got to watch his back here. He's got two men to contend with.

Dax driven down, Cash on the charge.

Copeland is just on fire in his hometown.

Dax, wild swing and a miss.

Drives him down, pinning for Dickman here.

Dax Harwood able to kick out.

Dax has a lot of reserve. That was a heck of a move that time by Culp, but

it takes more than that to keep Dax down.

Fans are with it here.

As we expected, what a crowd we have here today.

Looking for that impaler. It was Copeland, but... Wait a second, FTR may

thinking that's a stuffed pile driver.

Oh, that's into the post. Swing and a miss by Cash, and now... Back drop.

Drives down Cash Wheeler.

biggest rivals in his career.

Almost pulled it out with that Death Valley driver.

Cass Reeler struggling up to his feet. Dax Harwood back into the ring. Cope

didn't see him. Got caught from behind.

Christian Cage though.

Into the mix. Exchanging shots.

A Cope is still down though.

Trish pulling himself up over there.

Double clock body

takes the wind out of both men.

Right after the double clothesline attempt.

Very level footing here for both teams.

this match at this point favors Colton Christian or FTR.

So I actually think the longer this match goes, the more it favors FTR.

In range of Dax the assist from Stokely Yeah, I don't agree with their tactics a

lot of time But they're FTR is great at firing each other up making sure that

they don't tap out in situations when they're in deep trouble

Dax and Cage on the attack.

But Cope and Christian once again turning around on FTR.

Christian, the boot to the midsection.

Dax with isolated.

Oh, to the top.

Almost another homage there, but Christian Cage sent into

Copeland.

on Ceremony's landing for the Rated -R Superstar.

Cope's got to try to get out of this if he can. Hook his legs. Oh, no. He's

caught.

And the glory goes to TR.

One, two, Copley kicks out. That was not a good cover, Brian. I think that's all

Bats could really do because he hit very hard.

Yeah, I kind of wonder, too, if that broken nose is playing.

Has some sort of effect on Dax Harwood because he's even slow getting to his

feet right now.

The broken nose completely affects how Dax Harwood breathes. The mouth is open.

He's drawing more breath. He's breathing less efficiently. But it may not matter

if they land the shatter machine.

No. Copeland. Great escape.

I don't think that should be a DQ for sure.

So do I.

Wait a second, what is this?

Don't believe things are confused, it's us.

It's going to keep Stokely all the way in the back.

How about this moment, Brian?

It's one of those unforgettable moments in the AEW pay -per -view.

Wait a second.

He had the ring bell in his hand.

Cope, he heard the footsteps, was able to avoid.

Oh, no.

That's Harwood backing off.

Christian wants to get on the attack.

tended to on the floor.

Cope is going to have to fight this alone inside the ring.

Shatter machine again.

Shatter, no.

Instead, Impaler on deck.

But still, no, Impaler on catch.

Yeah, but look, Copeland's having a hard time even getting up.

That's Spike Piledriver on his surgically repaired neck. I mean, that

seven years of his career.

Seven years of his career. And then the attack by FTR cost him another four

months. Adam Copeland.

Copeland is trying to will himself back into this match.

He's up.

FTR have won championships around the world with that.

But Adam Copeland still somehow drawing on the reserves. A second one.

A second one, Cope.

He's out on his feet at this point, Brian.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't even know how he's doing it. It's got to be just pure

adrenaline. Right. Wrestling at home. The fans helping him out.

The uppercut. The excitement seeing Beth come out in hell.

Tag team wrestling as Christian Cage had Dax Harwood anchored on the outside,

preventing him from breaking up the pin.

Absolutely fantastic tag team wrestling from Copeland and Christian.

You can see Adam Copeland's having a hard time even standing up with his

best friend and his wife Beth at his side. Adam Copeland, Christian Cage,

again victorious.

It's in Toronto. I thought they'd look sensational as a team, Brian.

Yeah, I did too.

Oh, my.

Is anyone surprised this is happening?

The former patriarchy. There we see Nick Wayne who had his foot broken.

Oh!

FTR from behind.

I think Copeland inadvertently hit Beth from behind.

Kip Sabian, I'm not sure where he came from.

He's got handcuffs. Is he handcuffing him to the ropes?

That's exactly what he's doing.

Handcuffing Copeland to the ropes.

He's trying to fight off two men, but Kip Sabian.

A completely fresh Kip Sabian.

Blindsiding Christian.

Beth is trying to undo the handcuffs, but... She doesn't have a key.

And now... Christian... Spike Piledriver by FTR.

Beth... Hysterical here, trying to get the handcuffs off.

Trying everything in her power, but... And Cope... Completely helpless.

Can only look on. Nick Rain just laughed.

And now look at this, they're stalking Culp like they... No, they're stalking

Beth.

Remember they said they wanted to end Culp's career. Look at Beth's face!

Ringside physician Dr. Michael Sampson attending to Beth Copeland after

just these disgusting actions.

Yeah, I'm telling you, FTR's roots are new low here.

This was the plan, obviously, from the get -go. And Kip Sabian, Mother Wayne,

Nick Wayne, all a part of it.

Disgusting. Not just Adam Copeland's wife.

But the mother of his kid, that's disgusting.

A woman who also opened her home, just like her husband Adam did.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, just unconscionable actions by FDR.

Cope and Christian.

They're getting bone cutters right now, Salivar.

I mean, it'll go down in the record books as a win for Cope and Christian,

return here in Toronto.

But it's difficult to stomach.

What FTR has done on this path, a path for revenge on Adam Copeland. Here you

see Copeland, the bolt cutter, taking off the handcuffs.

A scary moment here at All Out, but fans changing gears here.

All Out live from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, continues Big Bill.

has been calling out Eddie Kingston for weeks.

We have not seen Eddie Kingston in 16 months. Is tonight the night?

You want real?

Here's real.

I come from a place where real tough guys are made. And there's another guy

in AEW from New York City who claims to be a tough guy.

So I'm officially calling you out, Eddie Kingston.

Wow, the Mad King, Eddie Kingston.

Kingston always ready for a fight. Yes, he is.

All of the internet wrestling fans, come at me. I don't deserve to share the

same ring as the great Eddie Kingston. Eddie Kingston, the first ever

Continental Crown.

Eddie, I don't give a damn about you.

Watch this.

He is talking right to Kingston.

Eddie responded, dumb, goofy bastard, just sent location.

You are what I've always thought you are, a loudmouth fraud.

I can't be held responsible for what I do.

We want Eddie.

We want Eddie.

And Brian Key, they have formed a tremendous tag team. But the fact that

Big Bill feels like he does not get the respect, not just from all the fans in

AEW, but specifically the fans in New York City, that he feels he deserves,

the fans can't talk about anyone other than this man.

in pro wrestling in the world like Eddie Kingston.

The fans just absolutely take to Eddie. They believe in Eddie, but Eddie Bryan

has got a tall order, literally, in his first match back.

Yeah, Eddie Kingston's a fighter, though, but so is Big Bill.

Yeah, Big Bill, as I've mentioned, feels like he doesn't get the respect. He's

been here competing over the last 16 months. Eddie Kingston has been

but the fans still talking about Kingston, clamoring for his return, just

grating, weighing on.

Eddie Kingston would move after all of those injuries.

Sometimes when you come back from that, it's hard to run the ropes.

Hit him pretty well, I felt, Ryan, didn't you?

Yeah, he hit the ropes well. But, I mean, Big Bill caught him with that

Right hand's raining down from Big Bill.

Sorry,

Phil, we talked about adrenaline with Colton Christian. You know Eddie's got

right now.

Yeah, it's hard when you come back after being off for 16 -plus months to get

back in the ring with somebody like Big Bill, as powerful as he is.

And, Brian, you know it very well. There's a difference between training in

gym and training inside the ring. We know that Eddie, he's been in the gym.

been rehabbing. Oh, wait a second. Kingston under the exploder.

He's been training in the gym, but how much time has he been preparing in the

ring?

Where Bill, he's been competing consistently over these last 16 months.

Yeah, that's true. But Eddie Kingston also, he does a ton of jiu -jitsu. He

a ton of Muay Thai.

He trained hard to get ready for his comeback.

You know, Eddie Kingston violates so many rules about what great athletes and

great wrestlers are supposed to be and supposed to do.

But look at him.

It's his insistence.

On having a successful wrestling career on his terms is why he's somebody that

these fans love.

He's somebody that has been called a bum.

Yeah, I called him that.

But he embraced that moniker. He said, I'm a bum. I'm a king of the bums. To be

fair, I called him the king of the bums.

He embraced that moniker. And he embraced it, yeah. You know, and there

time where I couldn't, you know, I was torn between wanting to give him a hug

and slap him in the face.

Sometimes I wanted to do both.

But now I have so much respect for Eddie Kingston and his heart and his grit

and all the things that he's gone through.

I think more than any other wrestler that we have in AEW, the fans identify

Eddie as a person, as a human, as a fighter.

Because Eddie Kingston has been taken off of his feet. The lariat, the cover

Big Bill Kingston.

Breaks free.

I mean, Kingston, he's completely unvarnished. He's an open

book. He is very clear about who he is as a person, warts and all.

And amidst all that, he has an indomitable spirit as well, which is, I

what allows for such a great connection with the fans.

And Kingston now.

Open -handed strikes as Big Bill backs Kingston off to the corner.

Whoa.

Not sure if it was a chop or a backfist. Big Bill tried to cover up, but you

could see Kingston still did some damage there. Yeah, still had some impact.

Smart of Big Bill to get his hands up.

You know, Big Bill asked for this. He's getting what he wanted. Oh, I can tell

you that.

But I don't know. Big Bill's been dominating this match so far.

Kingston, the machine gun chops in the corner.

Toten shot for good measure.

Kingston looking for the exploder once again.

That leg.

It's going to be tough, though. An athlete the size of Big Bill. Here we

Nice exploder there by Eddie Kingston.

You can tell Eddie hit his lower back hard as well.

Yeah, it's been over a year since Eddie suplexed anybody, let alone the size of

somebody. like Big Bill, that took a lot out of him.

Bill, though, almost up to his feet with the assistance of the ropes. Kingston,

back up to his feet.

He's going for it. He went for the hurricane that time. Big Bill saw it.

Oh, Lord.

Down the lower back, but Bill elects not to cover.

And still raining down the right hands.

Almost at the base of the spine there, Brian, where he hit. Yeah.

I'm not convinced that was a good idea by Big Bill.

And especially now, playing to the crowd.

You know, these fans are definitely behind Eddie Kingston.

I think he should be focusing on winning this match and not necessarily flipping

off the fans.

Now dragging Kingston up by his nose.

I mean, not only does it hurt.

It affects the breathing as well.

Discussed that in the last match. And now a second slam from Big Bill to

Kingston.

By the time Kingston able to kick out.

Yeah, I don't think Big Bill is treating this match as seriously as he should. I

mean, even when you watch that cover, that was a lackadaisical cover.

I mean, if you have just joined.

AEW in the last 16 months. You may not know who Eddie Kingston is. Eddie

Kingston was the first ever Continental Champion. He was a man that, I mean, he

has been slaying dragons, so to speak, left and right here in AEW. And now,

lands the DDT.

Plants Big Bill right on his head.

Oh, it's signaling for the backfist.

That spinning backfist, the Urikan.

He tried it earlier.

Big Bill was one step ahead. Let's see if he can connect now.

And you see it and heard that.

There it is.

on his feet, charges in into the boots of Eddie Kingston. Oh, another high

We saw one in the opening moments of this match, and now that one perhaps

more devastating.

Yeah, and I'm watching Eddie Kingston breathe.

And I wonder if he's, if his cardio is running out a little bit. Not that he

hasn't trained hard for this, but it's just, it's a different thing once you're

in front of this many people.

Bill charges in.

for the back fist a grazing blow but a blow nonetheless two and three

i

wonder if he caught him right on the lower part of the jaw with that back

think so i thought it had missed but it looked like it caught him on the jaw now

moments ago.

You know, I'm shocked at this by Brian Keith because I remember when Brian

was announced that when he was signed, Eddie Kingston was in the ring and shook

Brian Keith's hand.

Eddie Kingston was somebody that Brian Keith tried to model his career after.

You talk about New Yorkers here in AEW, the cold -hearted, handsome double hook.

New York born and raised.

And now, oh, out of the way of Bill. Bill goes to the outside hook.

He's got the red run cinched in on Brian Keith.

peace with the ops.

He said, maybe it's time to go it alone, or maybe it's time to run with another

crew. Is he going to be running with Eddie Kingston?

You love to see it. I think Hook could learn a lot.

He's an incredible athlete, but he could learn a lot from Eddie Kingston.

Yeah, you're right. He's just in the formative years of his AEW career.

I love Eddie Kingston. Listen to the pants.

Ladies and gentlemen, Eddie Kingston is back.

And he's emotional, too. Look at this.

16 months away from the ring, and Eddie Kingston comes back victorious.

Welcome back, Eddie Kingston.

But, Brian, I think the hard work starts now. Yeah, the hard work definitely

starts now.

Well, coming up next, it is tables and tacks, MJF.

allowed Mark Briscoe to pick the stipulation for this match and was none

please.

And now he will have to pay the piper. And there, Mark Briscoe, tables intact.

Next.

Do you want to know how much I hate you, man?

You distracted me at Forbidden Door. You cost me my world title, so I cost you a

shot at yours.

Oh, my God, it's MJF. He just got married last night. What the hell is it?

My newlywed wife, she screams out to me, where are you going? What about our

honeymoon? No honeymoon can start until Mark Briscoe is dead.

I'm J .F., and he's made this match deeply personal.

M .J .F., you brought my brother's name forth. No one will ever respect you as

much as your brother, J. You brought it forth again. It shouldn't have been me

in that accident. It should have been you.

Same on me if I don't obliterate your head. Listen to me.

You white trash pizza.

You name the time, you name the...

Tables and tax mouth. I hope that you are so happy when there is another

in the dirt and it's not you.

Rest assured, you have signed your own death warrant. Signed, Briscoe. More

happy to keep pouring on the punishment given the words hurled at Briscoe by

MJF. It shouldn't have been you.

Mascot Mark, just because you sound serious doesn't mean I have to take you

seriously. Blue collar will bust and white collar will...

I gave you the same answer I gave on my wedding night. I do!

My God!

I do.

That means you have insured yourself an uninterrupted ass whooping.

It is table and tax. The only way to win is via pinfall or submission.

And you can see MJF with the gloves that takes up wrists.

The referee, Bryce Remsburg, takes up. He's got eye goggles on as well

because... We know, without a question, there will be tax involved in this

match. You can see the buckets.

The buckets in the four corners of the ring, the tables outside of the ring.

This is a very dangerous Excalibur. It's dangerous for everyone. It's dangerous

for everybody here at ringside.

Taxes are going to be flying.

My God.

Ring for the sky, boy.

He wanted

to inflict as

much pain as possible on MJF, and Brian, understandably so, after the filth, the

abuse.

That MJF has thrown Mark Prisco's way over the last few months. Yeah, and I

mean, especially, I mean, what started all of this was MJF talking about Mark

Prisco's family.

Specifically, his late brother, Jay.

Yeah,

it's cheap to talk about someone's family like that. It is cheap.

Mark Prisco encircling the EW logo in the center of the ring.

With thumbtacks.

Looks like they're trying to empty them all here.

Yeah, I mean, he's not waiting. And, you know, there's a huge difference in how

MJF is approaching this match and how Mark Briscoe is approaching this match.

MJF wants nothing to do with the thumbtacks. Mark Briscoe is putting them

out there.

I'm concerned. I don't want anything to do with the thumbtacks.

No count out, no disqualification.

There's another part of this. We were talking a lot about thumbtacks.

Several tables sitting on the outside as well.

MJF showing off his hesitancy to enter the ring, but MJF now trying

to throw a right hand, but Frisco answers with three of his own. MJF

He's had a very tumultuous 24 hours or so.

MJF was just competing in Mexico City last night. Arena Mexico for CMLL's 92nd

anniversary show. And now finds himself in Toronto. And finds himself

potentially at the mercy of Mark Briscoe. But a low blow there from MJF.

Now Briscoe. Going for maybe the J -Driller. His

brother's finishing move.

The double underhook pile driver, MJF, escapes into the ring, but escaped.

Oh, you can tell he's terrified, as he should be. Anyone would be, right,

You would be. Oh, yeah.

Are you kidding me?

There's not enough money that you can pay me to get me in a ring with that

thumbtacks in it.

Now both Briscoe and MJF charge forward.

Right hand.

And elbows being exchanged.

Fans are waiting for the first slam on the tacks.

Let's see who gets it.

Brian, not only are the thumb tacks quite obviously dangerous to the body,

oh, MJF changes levels.

The chop across the windpipe and now winds up the left hand. But the more

become embedded in your boots, it's almost like... Like trying to wrestle

on ice.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

I mean, I haven't had much experience with thumbtacks, but I was in one

in the arena match.

Right.

Right. And just by landing, I hit somebody with a knee and fell on attack.

And it opened the rest of the match.

Body slam attempted.

Briscoe escapes.

Here we go.

There's Briscoe. No, MJF. Out. Oh, kick to the back of the knee.

And now MJF trying to drive Briscoe's face into the tax.

Briscoe, he doesn't want to post. He doesn't want to put his hand down

he'd be into the tax. But he's got his knee into the tax.

And that's going to have somewhat of an effect as well. Yeah, I mean, this is a

dangerous situation. I thought for a second there MJF was going to go for a

Russian leg sweep, but that would hurt himself too on the tax.

That's right. It's good call. I mean, you have to be very careful about the

moves that you would normally do.

MJF putting the referee in the way. And, oh, just poking the eyes. And now. Oh,

no. Here we go.

MJF the punch.

Slap into the text.

This is what Mark Briscoe chose though.

He got to choose the stipulation for this match. And this is what he chose.

Briscoe knew what he was in for.

But now Briscoe the first to resemble a pin cushion in this match.

MJF tried.

Drive Briscoe's face.

But, I mean, even when you... Oh, no!

Oh, my God. But, I mean, even falling back

down over and rolling into the ring and getting out of the ring. Look, we can

see thumbtacks on Mark Briscoe, on the bottom of Mark Briscoe's shoes. You

on the side of his pants, on his wrists, on his hands.

Embedded in his forehead.

Oh, my God.

Already bloody. You can see the multiple pincushion lacerations on the head of

Briscoe.

What's he doing?

You know, Brian, I think if Briscoe hadn't left those tacks in his head.

You know, one of the things that I hate most about MJF, and you see his.

His shirt that says white collar rules.

And, you know, part of this is about the dignity of working people. MJF sees

himself as above, say, the farmer, the teacher, the nurse, the cashier, the cab

driver, the builder.

But these are the people that keep the world going. And I think Mark Briscoe

knows that.

MJF thinks that nobody can live his lifestyle, that they're not equal to

But I don't think MJF could live Mark Briscoe's lifestyle.

Well, I don't think there's any question about that.

Well said, Brian.

MJF couldn't last an hour, let alone a day, in Mark Briscoe's shoes.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

What is this?

That's got to be it.

One, two.

A very cocky cover by MJF, but Tony, part of me thinks that MJF covering that

way because he doesn't want to actually get down in the tacks. No, that is a

great point. He wants to stay up there.

But, I mean, you can see referee Bryce Remsburg, even when he went down for the

count, he was gingerly counting because of all those tacks on the mat.

That's why he's all taped up like that, Brian, with those gloves on.

Good God.

You have to imagine Bryce drew the short straw in the referees meeting.

You have to wonder what's going to win this match.

We know from Mark Briscoe's history that he can endure.

Oh, no.

Inhuman amounts of pain.

covering the nose, so Briscoe forced open his mouth to breathe, and now the

being put into the mouth. You can see the text even embedded in Briscoe's

Oh, my gosh.

Right hand, the mouth full of text.

Mark Briscoe in serious trouble here. Forget about what they'll do to the

of your mouth, and you get hit like that, Brian.

There's a danger you could swallow one of those things.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, really.

The Young Bucks, Matt Jackson, actually got a thumbtack stuck in his foot with

the head. Oh, my God!

That body drop.

And you can see agony on the face of Briscoe and tacks embedded in his skin.

But do you know what? Here's the thing about Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscoe keeps

getting up.

And that's amazing.

It's unbelievable.

Yeah, I mean, think about that.

The wars we've seen Mark Briscoe in. A second back body drop.

But he's thinking back to the dog hotter match at FTR.

He and his brother Jay, one of the greatest tag team matches of all time.

The Briscoe brothers.

But look, Mark Briscoe will not stay down.

He's not going to stay down. No matter how many times MJF throws him into the

tax.

And I think that's okay with MJF right now. I think he just wants to inflict

more and more punishment as long as Mark wants to stay in the game here.

Well, we've heard from MJF saying he wants to end Mark Briscoe permanently.

Briscoe, he will endure this pain if it means getting revenge on the... Oh,

wait. Briscoe!

On his feet. MJF, nobody home.

Briscoe now.

Yes!

Yes!

Get him, Mark! Get him! Look at the face of MJF.

his first real taste of the thumbtacks.

That is exactly what MJF deserves.

And it's exactly what he didn't want to have happen.

Now Briscoe firing back.

Elbows, chops, backing MJF up to the ropes, Briscoe. And now you have to

those elbows, those elbows are coming with tacks.

Right.

Forearms will come with tacks. Uh -oh.

You can see how they're sliding on those tacks as they become more and more

embedded in the boots. And Briscoe, the Enzi Geary.

And you see MJF, whenever he was trying to do stuff to Mark Briscoe, he didn't

want to fall down. Mark Briscoe is not afraid to fall into the tacks.

Oh, God.

Cover. One, two.

MJF kicking out.

I don't know what it says about me, but I'm lucky every second of this one.

Briscoe, he's got.

attacks embedded in the back of his head. Oh, God.

And unfazed.

Unfazed. That's how psychotic Mark Briscoe is, and that's why we love him.

Mark! Get him!

Can you imagine doing the froggy bow onto the attacks?

It's insane.

Oh, MJF.

Trying to escape, trying to put some distance between himself and Mark

MJF's got Dax in his skull, too.

Let's hope they connect.

There we go.

That's playing everywhere.

MJF tried to hide the table underneath the ring.

But Briscoe bringing it back into play.

Remember, it's pinfall or submission.

Oh, gosh.

That does not end the match. It has to be pinfall or submission.

Briscoe.

He's got a table almost at an angle here.

What's he going to try to do here? We've seen Briscoe launch off this chair

before, maybe trying to pay homage to Sampo.

He's got it.

Briscoe hit first with his feet, and then he landed on the front of Max and

collapsed the table. Look at him. Broken two places.

Briscoe, he's not done yet.

Dragging MJF a right hand.

No, you cannot talk about Mark Briscoe's family and get away with it without

getting some sort of punishment.

Hear the chant of Dem boys for the Briscoe brothers.

Now Briscoe.

Setting up a second table. The second table that MJF tried to hide.

Big uppercut.

MJF in trouble here.

Yeah, I mean, what is it going to take to beat one of these men in this match?

You've seen Briscoe try.

Oh! He tried and succeeded there, the elbow.

The tacks on the back of MJF embedded even further that time.

Thanks to the table on that elbow.

Yeah, I think both these guys.

Mark Briscoe's asking the fans if they want to see one more.

Briscoe right in front of our desk.

Third table that MJF tried to hide.

Yeah, I'm backing up a little bit. I don't want these tacks anywhere near me.

As Briscoe is setting up the table, MJF is returning to the relative safety.

Of the ring, but... I don't know if that's a smart move if I'm MJF. I'm

shocked that MJF hasn't just left.

I mean, he is one of the foremost cowards in the... Oh, no!

Guys, did he just throw him in the eyes? Threw a handful of tacks in the eyes of

Mark Briscoe.

And now... MJF, oh!

You can see how lightly both men are stepping because of the tacks.

Look at the blood on MJF, nothing. It's all Mark Briscoe's blood.

Yeah, guys, I went from wanting to see MJF get what he deserves.

As we see the powerbomb on the replay, Mark Briscoe pulling out the chair

from underneath the ring. I think we know how Mark Briscoe spent his night

night, Tony. He meticulously put all of those thumbtacks on that chair.

It took time to get it done, but for him it's worth it.

Oh, again.

And now MJF with the chair.

It's iconic. Look at his eyes.

Now he's got the chair. Oh, he's going for that tombstone pile driver.

On the chair, on the tag.

That is it.

MJF to Briscoe.

It was a slow roll, Brian, to get out of it. Slow roll, but it got him out of

it. Just rolling to his right.

You know, I just think, you know, talking to Mark Briscoe before this

told me he did not want to let his family down.

And you can see it in his heart right now. He will not go down.

by Mark Briscoe.

We have seen back -to -back authentic men in Mark Briscoe and Eddie Kingston.

It's been wonderful, and we're only three matches into this pay -per -view.

All right.

What does MJF have in mind here?

Oh, my goodness.

Remember, at one time, he wanted to hide the tables. Now he's willing to use

them. Well, yeah, of course. Now there's Tombstone Piledrive.

Mark Briscoe onto a chair on thumbtacks.

And Brian, do you think if MJF had actually gotten down in the tacks, put

leg, got a tight cover on Mark Briscoe, he could have ended the match there

potentially. I mean, great. That is a fantastic point.

This fear of the tacks may have cost them this match.

That kind of sounds 50 -50 here. They're chanting for here.

I don't know what he's looking for now.

Maybe another table?

No, they're saying let's go tacks, not let's go maps.

Oh, let's go tacks.

Thank God. I'm glad they didn't lose their mind.

Okay, so there are more tats, right?

We suspect.

We suspect.

Oh, my goodness.

That's what it is.

Don't throw that towards us.

Another bag of tats, two being emptied after Briscoe. Empty those buckets of

tats.

I think it's safe to say we've never seen as many tats in a match in our

I mean, I never have, and I've watched a lot of wrestling.

I wonder what MJF is going to go for here.

We've seen him use a... He's thinking powerbomb.

Briscoe, though, got a little tangled up in the ropes and allowed him to hit

those right hands.

Mark Briscoe going to the top rope.

Oh, no. The leg split out.

Briscoe, terrible landing for him on the top.

Yeah, see, and this is my concern. We've seen, I don't know if he can make it to

the table. We've seen MJF use that pile driver off the top rope.

Oh, no.

Yeah, this was my fear. You almost nailed it into existence.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Briscoe.

Slapping the feet together.

Boxing the ears of MJF.

The hell with thumbtacks. Somebody could break their neck up there.

The right hand from Briscoe. MJF is dazed in very dangerous territory.

Oh, my gosh.

Could he be going for the change ruler off the top?

He's hooking these arms. That's very apparent here, Brian. Briscoe, the

underhook. But MJF escapes and now sinking his teeth into the flesh of Mark

Briscoe.

Disco sinking his tooth into the flesh of MJF.

Oh, brother. Here we go.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman. This feud has persisted through weddings, through

childbirth. And what we just saw, Mark Frisco finally got

his revenge on MJF. Great job!

Great family man, a wonderful human being, and he really is.

What a battle this was.

MJF, the second Froggy Bo, onto the tacks in the ring. And then, for good

measure, to leave no doubt, Jay Thriller.

Mark Briscoe, your winner.

Briscoe, I think, Ryan, take a moment.

Collect his thoughts to process himself just there.

Yeah, I mean, and he talked about, Mark Briscoe has talked about it. This is

essentially, he has been most of his career, he has been a tag team wrestler.

So this is his third year as a singles wrestler. That's how he puts it. And he

just beat one of the biggest stars in all of professional wrestling.

What an incredible night for Mark Briscoe.

Longest reigning world champion MJF, but Mark Briscoe is the man of the hour.

Wow. That's how we do, baby.

That's how we do.

That's how we do indeed.

Sandy Fork, Delaware's own Mark Briscoe, victorious here tonight on All Out.

Thank you very

much for joining us here for All Out. coming to you from the Scotiabank Arena

Toronto, Tony.

Absolutely. What a night it has been. And we're just getting started. Only

matches in. The fans here have been wonderful.

Yeah, we've got a packed house.

Five championships are going to be decided tonight. We have talent here

over the world. And all the eyes of the wrestling world are on All Out today.

And with that in mind, there's still much more to come. But first, a word

our friend at Trap King.

Think of Tony Storm. You think of at least three things that you can't

in public.

And after that, you think about winning and winning big.

If you would like a chance to do the same, minus the size, then let me

you to DraftKings.

Funny, I used to be called Breeze Queen.

DraftKings has an exclusive offer for all you sicko wrestling fans. All you

to do is download the app and enter the promo code when you sign up.

DraftKings. The crown is yours.

Unless I want it to.

After last week's potential reunion, I'm trying to follow up with Jerry Lynn,

Anthony Bowens, and Matt Castor.

Guys, excuse me. If I could just have one minute.

Guys, guys.

That's enough.

Sorry. I can't believe.

I'm sorry, Lexi. Now is not the time. Get out of here, Lexi. Calm down. Don't

talk to her like that. I can't believe you two still haven't learned anything

and don't realize, the whole world realizes, that when you two work

you're the best. I'm the best by myself.

Stop lying.

I'm not lying. Stop, stop, stop. You're a liar. Now, I don't care whether you

two like it or not. I jumped through a lot of hoops.

I got you guys a tag match next week against... Why? What? Why?

I'm not doing that, Joe. Are you out of your mind? I'm not doing that. Fine. You

know what?

If you don't want to show up to work, get defended without pay. Have at it.

I'm not doing that match. I'm a star by myself. I have my own segment. I'm not

showing up either.

You've been suspended a couple times. You have any advice for me, huh?

Okay, yeah, okay. No one wants to see you wrestle, bi -pool player. I'm the

pride of professional wrestling, and you are a looter who cannot win a match for

your life. I'm the best wrestler alive, and you can't be better than the best.

I swear, Max, I'm going to...

Well, Jerry Lynn, definitely with his hands full, trying to broker a peace

between the former acclaimed members, Max Castor and Anthony Bowens, and our

colleague, the human suplex machine, Taz, tagging in for Tony Schiavone, Taz.

We've had an incredible night so far, but big things still to come.

This show is just getting rolling.

Happy to be here. And Jerry Lynn never could mind his business, by the way.

That's a whole different topic.

Well, coming up next, a true battle.

The Hurst Syndicate ricochet.

Bishop Kahn, Toa Leona, they collide.

Next live in Toronto.

What's good, guys?

You look good. I'm glad you guys are out here. You see that my business card on?

MVP, the day that you decided to embarrass me, everything changed.

The Hurst Syndicate trying to contend with these masked assailants.

That's why we had to make an example at a U .S. forbidden door.

Ricochet told the owner of Bishop Pond, we are the ones that ended your reign.

Gates of Agony and Ricochet playing an outside role in the proceedings.

Your legacy is next.

Think you're real slick, don't you?

Now you got 500 pounds of beef behind you and your nuts dropped.

Magnificent. Ricochet, you've become a joker.

Ricochet, if you can be trusted to leave your boys in the back, I'll leave my

boys in the back.

For you, it's business. And for us, it became personal.

Bishop Kahn told Leona, go in the headbutt.

Ricochet called that a gentleman's agreement, but he's no gentleman.

How about we settle this in Toronto?

I look forward to lacing up my boots and punching you right in your

disrespectful bitch -made mouth.

I'm going to crash through them gates and introduce you to some real agony.

At the end of all of this, at the end of this war, MVP, that you started, you

three will respect us because we demand it.

Bishop Kahn, Toa Leona, and Ricochet, now known as The Demands.

And they demanded this match with the Hurt Syndicate. They got their wish, but

Taz... Have they bitten off more than they could chew? All that, obviously,

we're going to find out tonight. But I do think the hurt, it might be for a

little hurt here because these guys are no joke. The demand. I like that. The

demand. Yeah, Brian, we saw this past Wednesday night at September to remember

that. I mean, he was bopping around Bobby Lashley in a most surprising

Yeah, he gave him all Bobby Lashley could handle.

And I think that surprised Bobby Lashley quite a bit.

People, MVP, Justin Benjamin, Bobby Lashley.

Perfectionally dangerous man.

FTP. MVP. He's had this role as an advisor for Shuffman Benjamin and Bobby

Lashley. But he's an extremely formidable competitor in his own right.

the boots here once again tonight. Absolutely he is. There's no augment on

on MVP.

And this is what makes the Hurt Syndicate so special.

He's not just a mentor and a guy who helps manage Lashley and Benjamin.

He's also super tight, legitimate friends with these other two men. Yeah,

Brian, I mean, as well as an advisor, mentor, manager, also a sparring

training partner for Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley. Yeah, he's a black

in jiu -jitsu and a jiu -jitsu instructor as well. So he's, yeah, he's

cat MVP.

And look at this. Yeah, electing to start it off with Bishop Kahn. He walks

ricocheted. I don't blame MVP.

Be careful of Ricochet, though.

Took that walking stick on Wednesday night and cracked it over the spine of

Ricochet.

Ricochet is going to have to.

I'm sorry, MVP dominated the middle of the ring. He will not give Ricochet

anywhere near the middle.

A little gamesmanship right there.

Ricochet, the quick tag out to Bishop Kahn. Power and elbow tie up, center of

the ring.

He just dropped to his back with the arm drag.

I also want to take a moment to give a special shout -out to our ring crew for

getting the ring back in shape after that wild tables and tacks match.

Incredible match for sure.

Nice have -a -lot right there to a side headlock. Good job by MVP.

Ricochet, a bit of a look of concern on his face, but how could he not be

concerned being in there with the Hurts Syndicate, Brian? Yeah, absolutely.

I don't know if he wants to get in this match at all until the GOA... Somebody's

worn down.

Yeah, the GOA can take control.

Kahn into the rope, drop, toe hold.

MVP.

Front slam match.

Front slam and jumping knee drop. MVP.

Like it's good. Kahn, though, kicking out nearly immediately. And you notice

MVP quickly, with a sense of urgency...

Gets on Khan and then brings him right to the corner of the front headlock.

Big. See, I really like this matchup with Shelton Benjamin and Bishop Khan.

They're both two great conditioned athletes.

That chop absorption for a second time.

It's done.

Shelton barely budges.

Most bet that Bishop Conn hits they go and I love it

Both guys so well matched physically have a calm changed

levels the name of something Benjamin The ankle and the ankle lock is

nearly sister now he's got Yeah,

the direction for this is always You know, trying to put the toe in the other

guy's ass.

Sheldon comes around the corner with a kick.

Great quickness, athleticism by Benjamin.

Far like his hook.

Calm, though.

That's also experience.

Sheldon able to do that counter. Very well done.

Here comes the big man.

Bobby Lashley tagging in. He and Sheldon Benjamin, former AEW World Tag Team

Champions. They may still be, were it not for Ricochet and the Gates.

Absolutely. Out of this here.

Ricochet, he's spread his lats. He might need bigger lats.

He's got pretty big lats. From my vantage point.

Look at the guy's lats. His face is up to April now.

Well, the body shots are to no avail.

Lashley, the shove. Oh, shoot.

Oh, my goodness.

Almost hit Rain up there.

Now, Bobby Lashley.

Going to continue the punishment.

The late vertical suplex giving Ricochet plenty of time to think about it.

Bobby Lashley just so strong.

MVP. He's got a clip there. A little friendly fire almost.

And now.

MVP trying to turn it around.

Ricochet.

Oh, MVP.

He's feeling it today.

The elbow drop. MVP playing the hits here. One, two.

Ricochet, though, able to kick out.

Well, if you ricochet, you want to try to get out of that corner here. You see

that big, big, big, huge backdrop.

And MVP clearing the other members of the demand.

Bishop Cohen, Toa Leona off the corner.

Still not seeing Toa Leona tag in for the demand.

We'll run a mafia kick right there.

Might be thinking an exploder.

Yeah, I don't know about you guys.

Second cover here. The far leg is hooked. Ricochet kicking the legs and

break free.

But I've been surprised by how much time MVP has spent in the ring in this

match. I would have thought he would have tagged out a little bit more

Are you implying he's lazy? Is that what you're saying? No, what I'm saying is

he's a man that's had three knee surgeries.

Right.

And the other guys have been... It's a very personal thing.

Well, there's your point with the knee. But you know what I mean? It's a

personal thing to MVP towards Ricochet.

Oh, man.

This is off of the point you made, Dan, to the knee issue. I see. Yeah, but I

almost wonder if he's let his anger get in the way of his strategy.

Because he's a brilliant man.

He's a brilliant strategic leader.

I know, but he was disrespected by Ricochet. Yeah.

Now he's totally on the cover.

But meanwhile, Ricochet, disrespected by the Hurt Syndicate. Of course, MVP

offering that business card. And then just embarrassingly having that card

rescinded in front of the world.

Yeah. True. And, you know, Brian, I see what you're saying. And I don't

disagree. I mean, because maybe now, to your point, he is in there too long. And

right now the demand knows that. And they're trying to keep him in the middle

the ring to avoid him from taking Lashley or Benjamin. And the knee

in MVP's past.

Definitely not a secret, and it's something that the demand are looking to

exploit here tonight.

Yeah, but it's gotten personal with these guys, and it's gotten in the way

the strategy.

He's getting toehold.

But it hasn't, you know, like Ricochet, look what he's doing here. He's being

very smart, very tactical.

The demand are doing a really good job since they've taken control of this

match.

And you could see, I mentioned the word sense of urgency. You just saw that with

Ricochet, just that intense attack with a motor on the knee of MVP.

And Taz, we saw it earlier tonight.

Eddie Kingston, 16 months away from the ring.

He came back and took a little time to find his footing inside the ring. MVP,

not a regular competitor inside the ring. That's usually Bobby Lashley and

Shelton Benjamin.

The MVP trying to work out some of the kinks.

Yeah, definitely. And when you're not in the ring a lot, that's just normal.

That's just the way it goes. I mean, you know.

Ricochet made the tag on Bishop Kahn. Now it's Kahn's turn to get knocked.

That was a great shot by MVP, but Ricochet was tagged in now. He's legal.

but hasn't been able to make that tag.

Yeah, watch out.

Dropped a whole Ricochet.

Sent flying through the ropes. And Ricochet grabs Benjamin off the...

Apron. Tag wasn't made. Now, Shelton with his hands on the throw.

In comes Tola Leona. And a big man Leona. And, oh, Lashley, this was like a

continuation from last Wednesday.

An MVP, though, unfortunately for him, nobody in the corner to tag out to.

And that was a great strategy, in my opinion, by Ricochet on that to get

and Shelton off of the apron.

Yeah, but now MVP able to make the tag.

That money drop for MVP. Now Bobby Lashley comes in, difference maker.

And a belly -to -belly throw, Ricochet. Big power right there.

Whoa!

Pitch up on is not a small man.

And now Bobby Lashley, he's going to work.

Spinning neck breaker.

Oh, God.

Ricochet is in grave danger here.

Good God.

One, two.

Totally on it there to break things up.

This was an incredible matchup this past Wednesday on Dynamite.

I kind of want to see Toa and Bobby go at it again. I would love that.

I mean, it's thin.

Toleona and Bobby Lashley just pure super heavyweights.

They had a slugfest on Wednesday. And now Ricochet, though.

Enzigiri. Shelton Benjamin.

Benjamin,

the wide base.

Ricochet, Ricochet, though, finds his feet.

Right on his tailbone.

Shelton, the flying knee. Toleona did not anticipate that at all.

I could watch Shelton toss Ricochet all day.

Well, you may get your wish, Brian, because Shelton Benjamin is going to

with those German suplexes. And not just Ricochet.

Bishop Kahn as well.

It's not done. I don't think Benjamin's done.

Oh! 2 -0 -1 for Shelton Benjamin.

I think Bishop Kahn was hoping by grabbing Ricochet, it would... Stop the

suplex. Well, check this out. This is just not a good night to be Ricochet.

Right on his ass right there, which hurts like the dickens. And then, look

this. Double German city.

And meanwhile, back to live action. Shelton Benjamin dishing out those knee

strikes to Ricochet and Kahn. But it's Toa Leona.

A swing. Bobby Lashley, blind tag.

Oh, he's not done.

For Khan, the cover.

The leg is hooked to Ricochet.

Saving with the 450 splash.

You don't see that much. That was insane.

Ricochet just makes it look easy. Oh, what a nutty save.

Yeah, like. them or not, Ricochet is a great example of how to channel genuine

anger into something productive.

We saw it with that 450 splash.

Now, MVP, Khan teeing off on one another. Little punch to punch here.

I don't think Khan's going to win that battle.

MVP, though, just kicked to the kneecap.

Uppercut. Even with those knee surgeries, MVP still has a lot of power

strikes.

Tough jaw.

comes flying in Ricochet signaling for the tag from Bishop Kahn, but

Shelton Benjamin Sends Ricochet into Ricochet

Lashley

I don't think so. The ref's in the ring, and I think.

Oh, yeah, the ref is checking on MVP.

That's exactly right.

Bobby Lashley was on the shoulders of Toa Leona.

Benjamin came to the knee with a dropkick. The knee, and there's a

Bishop Carr.

Headbutt by Toa Leona.

out of control on the floor.

Oh my goodness.

Ricochet taking flight.

Insane athleticism by the bald Superman.

Yeah, say what you want about Ricochet.

He has been incredible.

MVP is primed for the pick in here. Yeah, isolated.

A ricochet.

Misjudged that MVP.

Suplexed ricochet.

Yeah, he needs to tag out, but there's nobody to tag.

MVP.

Belly to belly.

Throw. High kick, but you can see limping on that left knee.

Yeah, the demand did a great job working over that left knee.

Oh!

Chalk block.

Great job.

Bishop Kahn, what a shot block.

Well done. Great teamwork by the demand.

And Ricochet lands him off the spirit gun.

One, two, three.

Area winner, the demand.

What an impressive victory by the demand.

Ricochet, Bishop Kahn, Tawa Leona, just...

Here in Toronto. Yeah, absolutely. I think it's awesome.

I'm really impressed with the man.

The man that should say excellent.

I mean, excellent physicality, excellent action throughout.

Yeah, what a performance by the man.

Look at that.

Taking out the hurt that he had.

Look at that.

Over the ring post.

And then Leona.

Am I hitting you?

Then MVP, he got flipped.

And that opened the door for Ricochet to land the spirit gun to score the

victory tonight for the Dodgers.

Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, while these replays were rolling, they came

back to the ring with chairs in hand.

But it's the demand.

made their way back up to the ramp now attending to mvp still trying to get to

his feet

the

demand victorious here tonight in toronto

and this city has been such a great host to all

elite wrestling throughout the years this week no exception

We thank Toronto for hosting AEW's All Out and Fans DraftKings Sportsbook. As

official partner of AEW DraftKings Sportsbook, the crown is yours.

Now it is time for the TVS Championship match.

The CEO, Mercedes Manet, one -on -one with the inaugural AEW Women's World

Champion, Riho, next.

Wrestling prodigy, Riho. She's been wrestling since the age of nine.

The horn in Riho. No matter how big or small you are, she just brings it. I

don't respect any woman in this division.

You want to know why? Because they don't respect me.

I am the greatest CBS champion of all time.

My legacy can never be undone.

You think you can just walk back in here and get an opportunity and reintroduce

yourself in a disrespectful way to me? Riho is back with a vengeance, casting a

glance at the TVS championship.

Riho, the epitome of don't judge a book by its cover. Who is she compared to me?

I'm going to give the biggest lesson of them all, that there's a price to pay

when you met Mercedes Manet. All out in Toronto, it will be Mercedes Manet

putting that TVS championship on the line.

I know every trick in the book. I know birds play in the game.

You'll never get this, we hope. So try me, because nobody knows how to shake

table better than Mercedes Monday.

This basket will fall in the 30 -minute time limit for the TBS

Championship.

Introducing the challenger from Shinagawa City, Japan,

Riho.

Riho is smiling away to the crowd here in Toronto, but when that bell rings,

is all business.

Underestimate her and your own peril, Mercedes Monet Riho.

I mean, a perpetual underdog, but somebody that is capable of exceptional

inside the ring.

That Mercedes -Benz has accumulated, but it's the one that's behold.

matters tonight, the TBS Championship.

Very creative entrance by the great Mercedes Bonet.

Interesting creativity. I like it.

Yeah, they could be male models.

Were you ever a male model, Cass?

No, but I'm going to get into that once I retire to the desk.

Yeah, I would have liked to see you with your shirt off with one of her titles

around your waist. Maybe in the 90s I would have turned some heads, but hey,

I might have turned some stomachs.

Mercedes -Benz is the fifth overall CBS champion on the title.

Last year, May of 2024, at Dollar Nothing, 20 successful defenses of the

championship. Is this the end of the line for the CEO?

Yeah, with me being a huge wrestling fan, you know, I consider myself lucky

be able to witness the title reign like this, where she's gone against all

competitors.

Been a very dominant champion.

Yeah, not just from within AEW either.

Cutting the title against athletes from FMLL.

Stardom. And now getting in the face by Dej. Just showing no respect to Rio

whatsoever.

Oh, now Rio. Backslide, though. One, two.

Maintains control of the wrist. Turns the corner. Mahi straw. One, two.

Rio really pushing the pace here.

Now the roll up.

Mercedes kicked. Oh, wait a second. Statement maker. Riho on her knees,

trying to slip free.

Riho super slippery and super flexible, as you can tell. And that single leg

grab went for a single leg, and it didn't work.

Yeah, that means a big match, guys.

Yeah.

Well, there's that single leg grab.

Mercedes, she's felt this technique by Riho.

And that's not just a regular single leg crab.

She almost grabs more like an ankle lock or an Achilles and then turns it over

into a half crab.

Right, because her hand is not near the bottom of the quad, the top of the

kneecap. And she's not getting her clasp bad, to your point.

That's a technique that Riho learned from Emi Sacro, as we saw her employ for

the victory a couple weeks ago back at Dynamite.

But now...

It's like a restart as Mercedes looking for the waist lock. Riho trying to fight

her way out with those back elbows. But Mercedes, the hammer lock cinched in.

Yeah, this is a really intriguing matchup for me.

Because it's rare that Mercedes has the strength advantage in her matches.

Usually her biggest strength is her speed and dexterity.

You've got to give this speed and dexterity advantage to Riho.

She's mocking Mercedes.

A little disrespectful.

We've learned one thing, Ted, though. Mercedes hates to be upstaged.

Rio can't dance like Mercedes. That's the original right there.

I don't know. I thought Rio's was better.

Well, I didn't think it was, okay?

I know you're the great Danielson, but I didn't think it was.

Cover made.

Not even a one count.

Rio avoided the sweep of the leg, but not the shot to the midsection.

Rio, though, bridging back up. Great athleticism, great bridge.

And T. Harris.

Mercedes. Oh, into the ropes.

Off landing for the CEO.

And.

Oof. Right in the lip.

Man. Mercedes out to the floor. None too pleased. Riho.

Now with the advantage, the upper hand.

As Mercedes out to the floor. Riho contemplating her next move.

No reason to rush if you're Riho.

Oh, God.

Oh,

that

was very kind of you. She asked permission if she could do this. Did you

yes? I did, yeah. Did you say yes multiple times at goal, Steve?

Oh!

Rio, two consecutive foot stomps.

Yeah, if I'm Rio, I get Mercedes in the ring right now.

Mercedes. She said something to referee Stephon Smith. May have a broken rib.

Could be. It's tough to breathe if that's the case.

Nothing you can do for it either. You got to just suck it up.

I mean, even an athlete the size of Rio delivering that diving foot stomp. Sure.

That could be extremely dangerous. And now Rio looking for a third. Mercedes

rolls in.

Rio.

T. Harris again.

No. Mercedes.

There with the power advantage. No, Riho able to turn things around.

And now Riho on the move. Drop kick.

That drop kick was on point.

Riho's looking great tonight, guys.

Riho looking for the crucifix bomb.

Finds it. Two. No.

Mercedes landed right on the back for a head, but that crucifix bomb really well

done. Yeah, I kind of wonder, you know, Mercedes is so focused.

I'm breaking Ultimo Dragon's record for having the most championships at one

time. Ultimo Dragon held 10.

Mercedes wants to get to 10 and 11.

I wonder if she's booking past Riho.

It looks like she hasn't come in as prepared as she normally does.

I agree with your observation, Brian. I think you might be right about that.

This is the most sustained offense we've seen.

Mercedes Monet absorb in a very very long time that was smaller Mercedes

to get out of balance. Oh now tied up in the apron. And now just hammering

Riho.

That was really smart use of the ring by Mercedes.

Crafty crafty.

And Mercedes.

What a look at her face though.

Oh my goodness.

The skull.

Riho has just bounced off of our announce desk.

Yeah, my monitor just went out.

Mercedes is going to soar here.

Mercedes.

Mediora.

Driving Riho into the floor.

Mercedes just asked us, who's the best now? And I'm trying to disagree with

Riho, though, not out of this fight yet.

But, Tess, notice Mercedes hanging on.

Still a bit slow to capitalize. Yes, but she had a half Nelson in there, and she

held on to it to keep Riho immobilized. Yeah, I was really impressed by that. As

soon as Riho kicked out, Mercedes straightaway grabbed the hold.

It would be a potential rib injury for the champion, the CEO, Mercedes Manet,

making her move a step slower here tonight, but she can't afford to move

against somebody like Riho.

Who's got these lightning -quick reflexes.

And all she needs, Riho, is three seconds.

Yeah, and she's just very resilient, too, Riho.

Oh!

Mercedes connects with a dropkick. That was a beautiful dropkick. Right on the

button. Now the high stack.

Two.

I mean, watch where Mercedes' boot lands. Check this out on this replay.

Right in the throat. Oh, man.

Good luck to your esophagus on that.

And that's one way to slow down Riho.

Inhibit her breathing.

And, oh, wait a second, Mercedes.

Oh, wow.

Look at the pendulum swing.

That's exactly what she was thinking.

Mercedes Manet, super painful.

Super painful.

I mean, the torque on your shoulders, your knees, your ankles. Oh, right on

face.

Mercedes turns the corner, covers, Riho. Well, it's the intensity, the

viciousness, and the skill of Mercedes, hence why she has just a plethora of

championships. You'll see why this lady's tremendous.

Yeah, she's unbelievable.

Wow,

disrespect to Riho.

Well, and even in doing that, she's putting a lot of pressure on Riho's

Brian, you referenced a little more drag in the octuple jay crown.

Here's a shout -out to one of Dragon's greatest rivals, Jushin Thunder Liger,

here with the Romero special, the flying surfboard. But, oh, look at this. Riho.

Escapes, and now Riho attacking a knee, guys. She wants that single -leg crab,

does Riho.

Trying to wear out that knee of the champion.

There's Riho.

The knee of Mercedes at a grotesque angle.

Mercedes might have to tap.

She grabbed a handful of Riho's hair. I think that was her only recourse. Yeah,

that was her last resort.

Desperation. She had to do it.

Riho coming through.

Mercedes Manet in serious trouble.

Go tap Mercedes. Hang on. Hook a leg.

Pin her.

Rio's got Mercedes in the center of the ring. It's a very long crawl.

Any direction that she heads.

Yeah, and Rio's got her with great leverage right now. She could

roll her back to the center.

That's what I'm saying. There you go.

Rio forced to abandon ship.

Has the waist lock. Mercedes sent in. Cosadora.

Riho stops again, targeting the midsection of Mercedes. Just a resilient

on the midsection of Mercedes. It's been very effective for Riho.

Ryan Riho's got a lot of options here. She could go for the leg, go for the

ribs.

Yeah, I'd go back to that single leg grab if I were her.

Because that's also especially with the damage that she's done to the ribs,

midsection.

That'll make it hard for Mercedes to get to the ropes.

Me personally, I'd stay in the midsection.

I'd get myself an abdominal stretch and wear out the intercostals in the core of

Mercedes.

Yeah, it's just hard because she doesn't have the length.

You know, she's shorter. It's hard for her to get that abdominal stretch with

the size difference.

Rio looking for the dragon suplex. Mercedes breaks free. Now Phil Nelson.

Dragon suplex.

Terrible landing for Mercedes Monet. Riho makes the cover. The leg is hooked

Mercedes.

Not enough pressure on the shoulders there by Riho.

It's hard when you're that light. You really have to cover all your bases with

the pins.

She never had a clasp on the dragon on a full Nelson.

She just grabbed the front deltoids and hushed back. Well done by Riho.

Mercedes catching Riho in the ropes.

A high kick.

Now Mercedes on the ascent, but was Riho just trying to bait her in?

Open hand flap, but now Mercedes.

Superplex! And Mercedes hangs on.

Pops the hips, turns the corner. There's two.

And three for Mercedes now. Maybe four.

Good explosion on all.

little suplexes by Monet.

Mercedes Monet inspired by the late, great Eddie Guerrero to choose her path

as a professional wrestler.

And now Mercedes hammering down with the boot on the ascent. Could be Mercedes'

chance to deliver foot stomps here.

Yeah, I'm interested to see what Mercedes is going to go for here.

A frog splash, but the knees were up by Riho. Yeah, also Riho's placement, she

was really close to the turnbuckle.

And tails once again, a potential rib injury coming into play, especially with

the knees coming up from Riho. Absolutely tough to breathe when that

but Mercedes is furious that she got a little wolf zealous, crouched and burned

there. Mercedes hung up in the corner, headbutt by Riho, nice.

After the miss, and Riho.

On the climb.

Gets her footing on the top. And Riho.

Foot stomps Mercedes.

In serious trouble here.

Yeah, Riho has made excellent use of the foot stomp in this match.

On the cover. A new champion.

Mercedes Manet remains champion for the moment at least.

Riho, though, with the upper hand in this TBS Championship Contest.

Yeah, Riho's wrestling a great match.

The Northern Lights suplex.

Blocked. Mercedes.

The lung blower. And now the powerbomb.

Wow. Sunset flip. Powerbomb into the corner. And Mercedes not done yet.

Did you hear?

One, two.

Riho able to kick out. Yeah, you can just hear Riho's.

Head just hit the back of that turnbuckle. Well, you can see the

the face of the champion, but this is to your point, Danielson.

Tough shot to the back of the head there. And then followed up with this.

God.

The frustration on the face turned to rage and anger on Monet.

And the momentum has shifted here in favor of the champion.

Mercedes not moving with a tremendous sense of urgency, Brian.

Well, I don't think it's that. I think it's all the work that Riho's done on

midsection. I think it's hard. Mercedes usually has an endless gas tank. But I

kind of wonder if all that work with those double foot stomps is making it

for Mercedes.

Mercedes. Oh.

No. It's out of here.

Riho reverses. And Mercedes. Into that single leg climb.

She's better than him.

Close to the ropes. Mercedes got to get that hand under or on the rope. A

tremendous amount of torque on the knee of Mercedes now.

Oh, no. Mercedes grabbing the bottom rope, forcing the break. Excellent match

sense by the champion to break that hold. And unfortunate circumstances for

because it's not like she placed her there. She was countering that double

that Mercedes does.

Just a little too close to the ropes for the challenger. It's easy to armchair

quarterback from here and say Rio should have dragged it to the middle first,

but you're in mid -motion of an attack.

I don't blame Rio for what she did.

Yeah, and also, strength isn't a big part of Rio's game.

And pulling out Mercedes to the center would have been, you know, would have

taken a lot of energy.

Mercedes, nobody home for her, but able to roll through.

Rio, German suplex.

One, two.

Mercedes able to kick out, but Rio now.

Taz, you're a suplex master. I was really impressed with the bridge on that

German. I totally agree with you, man. It was excellent. Oh, wait, watch this.

Body pinning predicament.

It wasn't just the bridge. It was the technique, man. You know, that Rio hit

throw it.

She's going Northern Lights here, boys.

Northern Lights suplex. One, two.

Super flexible spine with that type of bridge.

And that suplex, Taz, not only affects the...

The ribs from hitting the mat on the back, but then the real shoulder drive.

Hey, what's this? Oh, wait. Referee Stephon Smith being grabbed by Mercedes.

gouge in the eyes. Over the eyes.

Ref never saw it. Ref never saw it. Oh, God. And now Mercedes.

Oh, my God.

The lung blower.

And the referee missed the gouge in the eyes.

Now the moneymaker, perhaps.

Yes, it is. Moneymaker.

Very crafty and clever with what Mercedes gave with the referee and

him. And then he turned his back. He had to. And next thing you know, a little

Tom Fullery by the champ.

And Mercedes -Benz, Brian, I get the sense that...

She may have been at her wit's end with Riho.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I mean, for the first time ever, I think we saw Mercedes almost run

out of gas.

You're right.

Part of that midsection attack, I think, played some of that interest. But we

saw a moment ago what happened on the replay when Mercedes grabbed the

pocket or part of his pants.

And he never saw the eyes.

Can't blame the ref if you don't see him.

Mercedes, the moneymaker.

And the 21st defense of her TBS championship.

Who will be able to stop the reign of the CEO?

Mercedes -Benz Victoria is here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Moving on.

Mercedes -Benz victorious.

But this is not our last championship match of the night. Coming up next, the

AEW Unified Championship on the line in a three -way match. CMLL.

The

AEW

Unified Championship Tournament beginning.

Who will be heading into all -out Toronto to be vying for this AEW Unified

Championship?

Handpicked by Don Callen. Won the G1 Climax. Just a taste of what he's

of. The star of Dorada. The athleticism.

He is a human highlight reel.

Okada. I'm beating the best in the world to hold this title.

I'm the best tournament wrestler alive.

The Rainmaker is the top dog in the Don Terras family.

Don come out with Okada when Takeshima is also going to be in the match.

Whoa, whoa.

Dorada.

To Kester O 'Connor.

It's a match that could have global implications.

Whatever. Bitch.

It's a 60 -minute time limit in a three -way match.

for the AEW Unified. The man's here.

Entering from the college of birth, from Mexico City, Mexico, by 167

pounds, Mosqueda Dorada.

An incredible opportunity for this young man, Master Dorada, to be on the verge

of becoming the first athlete signed with... The fold in AEW championship.

But Dorada has quite a few things working against him in this match.

This man, no exception.

And this is an AEW Unified Championship match. That means no outside

interference. And that means, unfortunately, Don Callis has joined us

desk as a broadcaster.

Happy to be here. I think our odds of retaining are pretty good in this match.

Definitely, Don. And I would like to say it's great to see you, Don.

Don Callis joining us at the desk.

I mean, you got two -thirds.

Of the participants in this match contracted to the Don Callis family.

called money ball.

I put the odds in my favor. Do you understand, Excalibur?

Sometimes one plus one equals six.

Callis family, if Kenosuke Takeshita were to win the unified championship

tonight? Well, I mean, of course, because we're all sportsmen in the Don

family. We all like to test each other. And when you're the best, like Okada,

you're the best, like Takeshita, sometimes you have to test yourself

other man.

Brian, you can relate to this. Yeah, but you can't have two people being the

best. Well, why? It's great competitiveness. I think that's

Literally, by definition, you can't. Yeah, you literally cannot be.

Let's not get into esoteric arguments about what best means.

Thank you. That's my thing.

Esoteric argument.

I know that.

Well, Brian, you know what else is my thing?

Being the greatest tournament wrestler in professional wrestling history in

Okada. I think Okada is fantastic.

I think Sekeshiro is fantastic.

And if anybody saw.

The Mascara Dorado against Beast Mortos match from Dynamite. He's fantastic as

well. He really is, and he has a great opportunity, Dorado, in this thing.

Yeah, Dorado.

Because of the issues between Takeshita and Okada.

Yeah, I was going to touch on those issues that we've seen percolating over

last few weeks. It seems like both Kanosuke Takeshita and Fujita Okada

think of themselves as the...

Top of the food chain. The apex of the Don Callis family.

And this... Oh, wait a second. Dorada.

Finds his feet. Swing and a miss by Okada. Into Keshta.

He has it. Oh!

Okada!

Dorada is really phenomenal.

He's excellent.

And Dorada, I mean, he's had a very punishing schedule.

We mentioned the match this past Wednesday on Dynamite, Brian, but... Of

he was competing in Arena Mexico less than 24 hours ago as well for CMLL. So

this is his third match in just a few days for

his Takeshi Okada coming in relatively fresh.

Yeah, but he's young. He can handle it.

Look at that.

Really amazing.

Takeshita right into the boot of Dorada. That was

almost it, yeah.

Takeshita smartly using the rope to break up that pinning combination,

Yeah, very intelligent move by Takeshita. And Taz, remember, this is

elimination. First fall to the finish. So that means if Dorada pins Takeshita

vice versa.

lose the championship. Well, yeah, that's the point I was trying to make

at the tipping top of the match where Dorada has an opportunity here because

the tension between Takeshita and Okada to steal the proverbial one, you know,

that type thing. That's kind of what I was envisioning with Dorada. Yeah, what

do you make of some of the hints we've seen?

of dissension between Takeshita and Okada, Don? I think, like me, Brian, you

understand Japanese wrestling culture.

You have a senpai, which is the older, more experienced wrestler, and a kohai,

which is his young boy, if you want to call it that.

They can't get away from that. That's part of the dynamic that you see as

dissension, I see as just healthy competition.

Well, Don, you were the one that dubbed Takeshita the alpha. Just like there

can't be more than one best, there can't be more than one alpha.

Here's the thing.

You have an alpha and you have the best tournament wrestler of all time. Why

can't they both coexist? That's what I'd like to know. Yeah, I think that's a

good point. I agree with that.

You just don't want me to have so many great wrestlers, Excalibur, and that's

ridiculous.

Dorada turning things around. It's a catch.

I put it in the face. Oh!

Put it into the jaw of Okada. I'm not sure it was intended, but it's still...

Oh, wait.

Dorada.

And...

I'm speechless.

Now Dorada.

Up to the ropes. Up to the top.

Looking for a hook on Rana. But no.

Drop kick. Great job, Okada.

Athleticism with that drop kick. Watch out.

Springboard. Diving hook on Rana. Okada.

Taken down.

He retreats to the outside. Mascara Dorada. Taking down both members of the

Callis family.

After he saw some friendly fire. Not so friendly fire between family members.

Tata and Takeshita working together.

This guy is unbelievable.

He's got to count for a counter.

And now.

Wait a second.

Miscalculation there by Mascara Dorada.

Buster on the ramp.

That may be the last we see of Mascara Dorada. Yeah, the kip -ups are done. The

springboards are done. It's all done. Thanks for coming.

Takeshita just destroyed Dorada. I'm telling you. One of the questions in

match, Brian.

Was when are they gonna get a whole lot?

Good for your neck. Holy cow We knew eventually my men would get a

hold of him and flow him down and now the real match begins in my opinion And

it's smart of Takeshi that you get him in the ring instead of leaving him on a

ramp meeting Dorada and work on his neck Yeah, but I think you know Okada Okada

still around. He's got Takeshi's got to watch out for Okada I mean, I think you

should have pressed the advantage more rather than going into the fold, which

punishing, but you're not going to finish the match with that against

Dorado. Would you agree, Brian, that Okada is one of the smartest wrestlers

you've ever seen in your career?

Yes, 100%. If not the smartest wrestler I've ever seen in my career.

Kazuchika Okada, as we've said, greatest tournament wrestler alive for Juven

Climax. And he just...

Got rocked by Takeshita.

And I think that was a smile on the face of Takeshita, yeah. Yeah, Takeshita

enjoyed that. Friendly taunting.

But Okada, four G1 Climax wins.

Continental Classic victory last year.

Takeshita just won the G1 Climax just weeks ago, Don.

Yeah, I'd like to see Takeshita win the Continental Classic this year.

Takeshi had a tremendous run in the G1 this year. Very impressive. We're all

very happy for him.

Was Okada happy? Yeah. Of course.

Takeshi won four of them. What's on the brakes? Oh, T. Harris.

Countered out of the blue thunderbomb. Did mask our Dorada.

Now the dropkick for the test. Takeshi to the floor.

Dorada very resilient.

Showing a lot of heart here.

Dorada coming back. No momentum. No. Look at that. Sweeps up the legs. Works

smarter, not harder by the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada.

Excellent job by Okada right there.

Ichiban.

Okada, very good. He began his professional career training in Mexico,

against luchadores.

Gives him a very unique advantage in this match, I think, Taz. Yeah, no,

absolutely it does. His poise is always on point, meaning Okada now. Nice neck

breaker there.

Going after the neck after that nasty brain buster on a ramp by Takeshita on

Dorado.

See, in these three -way matches, you know, O 'Connor might have gone for the

mask.

Rip his mask off.

Warfare here, guys. I like it. Rip his mask off.

If he rips his mask off, I'm ripping Excalibur's mask off.

Please don't.

Remember the continental rules. There is no prohibition against tearing the mask

off. Okada would be within his rights to do so.

But now.

Okada just toying with Mastro Dorado. Yeah, showing him no respect.

I don't think that's a smart game plan.

You notice, Brian, it amazes me about Okada. No matter how long into the

he's never breathing that heavy. No.

Incredible pacing.

Great shape.

He also always breathes through his nose when he's wrestling, which is... DDT,

Dorada.

Which is often hard deep into a match. Like to cover.

This is going to get interesting.

Oh, gouging the eyes.

Is that going to create any animosity between the two, Don? Well, I guess

going to find out, Brian. I mean, listen.

These guys are competitors.

Okada. Snapmare on the move.

Nice job there, Okada.

Really came in hot right there.

Blast to the side of the skull of Dorada.

Yeah, one of the great things about Okada is the way he changes pace.

Now the cover made. Leg is hooked.

Dorada able to kick out.

The zen -like calmness of Okada.

Yeah, still barely breathing.

Yeah, he's resting heart rate for Okada.

is extremely low.

He is such... He has such high cardiovascular efficiency.

And we saw earlier that Okada spent some time on the floor, let Takeshi do

damage to Dorada, and now we're seeing Okada taking advantage of that rest that

he got, pouring on the offense.

But maybe Takeshi is doing the same thing.

It could be.

Taz, I just looked off our monitor to the right, and we saw Takeshi...

Trying to blink out. I think he had poured some water in his eyes after that

gouge from Okada. He's not resting. He's hurt. He got banged up. That's what

he's doing on the outside.

Beautiful to our Neo.

Into an arm drag. But now Takeshita springs into action. The bypass.

No. Dorada.

Oh.

Now Dorada on the move. The pace quickened.

As.

Team Harris.

Great job.

Dorada very explosive.

He's going to come in here, boys. Be careful. Oh, maybe not. O 'Neal over the

top for O 'Connor.

And Dorada now on the move.

O 'Neal takes down Takeshita.

Tell you, Dorada's special.

And the Toronto crowd gets it.

Mascot Dorada on the verge of the biggest victory of his career.

Is he able to capitalize? Is he able to defeat the greatest tournament wrestler

of all time?

Big Gamangiri.

Mascot Dorada now.

Okada on the shoulders.

Tough stuff, Okada.

Inventive offense from the young high flyer. Take another look, Taz. Yeah, you

can see this tough landing for Okada, but not enough to get the victory.

Uh -oh. Oh, God.

Okada! The neckbreaker.

Smart again by Okada because what Takesha did on the outside with that

bust, as I said earlier, to Dorado.

Yeah, Don, you talked about the zen -like quality of Okada.

That really served him in that instance.

There's a bunch of punishment.

The scoop, the slam, and potentially the elbow drop from the Rainmaker.

Okada is always in the moment. He doesn't worry about moves that he has to

again. Look at that.

The elbow drop on target.

The unified champion in control of this match.

Okada able to avoid the contact from Takeshita. Now Takeshita into the ropes.

Well stouted. Yalpa able to avoid the drop kick.

Now Takeshita, blue thunder.

Okada lands behind.

Walked into it.

No, instead ran.

Takeshita stuck him with that Blue Thunder Bomb.

But how tough is Okada on that kick out? That weight distribution just a little

off, Brian, enough to kick out.

Yeah, oftentimes you'll see Takeshita using both legs to cover the shoulders

when he does the Blue Thunder Bomb. He wasn't able to get it there.

Okada down.

Takeshita, he could sense Mascara Dorada coming into this match looking for that

power drive knee.

But instead,

Okada out of the ring. Thrust kick.

Oh, Tecesta.

Tecesta ate that thrust kick for lunch. Sends Dorada in and now.

Destroyer! Oh, boy.

Tecesta got stuck and neck bent to the side. That was ugly.

The neck definitely bent, but the shoulder of Tecesta, I believe it was

shoulder, really hit the mat extremely hard. A brutal landing, but now Matt.

To the top, could be thick and forth. 50! Yes, he is!

One! Two!

No, caught him!

Brings Dorada out to the floor and... Oh!

So smart.

So smart.

A spine of Mascara Dorada sent into the barricade.

But Brian, I think Takeshita may be right for the picking here.

Yeah, I think so.

Gonna drop that big elbow.

Takeshita up to his feet right hand thrown into the jaw of the champion That

twisted angle on his neck from that destroyer from mascara Dorada

Takeshita maybe may have been looking for that avalanche raging fire, but

Okada went to the eyes again again he did But meanwhile this now mascara

the top. Oh

my

God. Smart of Dorada

to go top Tecesta once Okada kicked out. Don, how do you prepare for a guy

like Mascara Dorada? We spent hours and we never scouted that, Brian.

This guy's amazing.

Mascara Dorada, though, keeps applying pressure. The elbow strikes, peppering

the jaw of Takeshita. Now Okada on the receiving end as well.

Mascara Dorada.

Ran into a pair of boots.

The striking has been a mistake for Dorada in this match. He needs to stick

the impact maneuvers.

Oh, my goodness.

Gives me goosebumps.

especially when it comes to the elbows.

Yes.

Okada is going to look to set him up for the drop kick. Oh, my God.

Okada drops to his knees.

And Takeshita could be looking for raging fire here, but no.

Okada kicking Tombstone. Takeshita reverses, hooks the legs, and

stuffs the champion. But he's not done yet.

wrestling an incredible match against two of the greatest professional

Japan has ever produced.

wants to beat Dorada. He wants to beat the Rainmaker. He wants.

He caught it.

Okada intercepted the knee.

He's battered by those elbows. Strike.

The drop kick on target. On the button.

All three men down. What is it going to take to win this match?

I don't know, Brian.

If I'm Takeshita, I might have just done a Dorado there. I don't know why he

went for Okada.

You know why. He wants to beat his senpai.

Don't make business personal. That's what I tell these guys.

Tremendous crowd on hand here in Toronto.

Whitzing this phenomenal three -way match for the AEW Unified Championship.

And Taz, at this point in the match, I think it's anybody's game.

Definitely is.

Even Steven right across right down the middle.

Elbows being delivered around the triangle.

And now all three men up to their feet.

Yeah, if I'm Dorada, I don't want to take place in this. I don't want to take

part in this strike exchange.

Be a bit of bravado on trying to stand toe -to -toe with these two heavy

hitters, but

Gets his footing, and D!

D! T on the apron!

With such high impact off the top rope!

And now Okada down on the outside, the path may be clear for Mascara Dorada!

Takeshita sees it! No!

Oh!

Takeshita playing possum, very intelligent by Takeshita.

The legs swept out, and you can see the heavy breathing from Mascara Dorada.

Chest was pumping after all that oxygen driven out of his lungs.

And the superplex to catch the hangs on.

Raging fire now.

Went for a small package, but nice count of bites.

Jack Cassidy.

championship still in the hands of the Don Callis family.

Let's take a look here how this thing ended.

Went for the Rainmaker.

Takeshita small enough again to smash the duck.

The wind -up. The precision from Takeshita. Big shot there.

Watch this drop. By O 'Connor. Well done, man.

And here it is, man.

Boom! And he talked about precision, Brian.

Okada scored flush with that dropkick on D 'Costa, but when D 'Costa fell, the

back of his head actually struck the bottom rope. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Okada

so precise with everything that he does.

I don't think this will do anything to ease the tension between these two elite

-level athletes.

D 'Costa's living.

At himself, you could tell.

And Don is delusional. He just thinks they're both having fun. I don't know

about that part.

Well, because Dukes Go Conner, the Rainmaker, remains the AEW Unified

the greatest tournament wrestler of all time.

Absolutely. Great match by those three men.

ducho okada still on the top of his game but i mean massive

credit brian to both master dorada and kenoki for that match yeah that was an

incredible match great performance by master dorada especially after coming

the way from mexico city from last night he remains the unified champion but fan

now for something completely different from the ae AEW Unified

Championship.

From the Rainmaker,

Kazuchika Okada.

We turn our attention next to the coffin match, Brian. You spoke to Darby Allin

this past Wednesday night at Dynamite. He asked you to not get involved no

matter what happens.

Yeah, and I promised him. I gave him my word.

My word means a lot to me, and I promised them I would not get involved

match. I will stay true to my word. And you were hesitant on Wednesday night to

share what you whispered to Darby Allen.

Have you rethought that at all? Could you tell us and the fans at home?

I'm not saying anything.

All right.

Tight lip, but coming up next, it is the coffin match.

Darby Allin has found to take everything from Jon Moxley. Is tonight the

night that he does so? We are just moments away from finding out. Moxley,

next.

No one has more reverence for Darby Allin than me. Nobody loves Darby Allin.

Like I do. You said Brian Danielson was a brother to you. He was family. What

did you do to Brian Danielson? Brian Danielson. Darby Allin is a problem.

He had to get taken off the board.

And he needs to go away. Top of the world.

Mount Everest.

John Moxley.

Going down and taking everything from you.

Since he didn't succeed in getting himself killed on Mount Everest.

He's back in A .W. and he's messing with me.

You know, I looked up to you, John.

Why? Because you weren't this ego -driven wrestler that never wants to be

the spotlight.

The moment you turn your back on Daniel, then my trust for you is broken and I

want to be nothing like you. Darby Allin must be destroyed. No other choice.

I said I would take everything!

No problem.

I will solve you.

I'm going to put you in the ground.

I'm going to put a nail in this whole thing.

Cop and match. I'm going to put an end to that once and for all.

Real bad what I have to do. If you want to burn AEW to the ground, don't be

surprised when I pull you into the fire.

The following is a cop and match.

Introducing first, to be accompanied by Marina Shafir, from Cincinnati, Ohio,

weighing 231 pounds, Keon

Mofflin!

One of the most dangerous men in the sport of professional wrestling.

He's technically gifted at both the

fine art of professional wrestling and free fighting.

Wait,

Darby Allen!

Not waiting for Moxley!

Didn't see where Darby even came from, but... The

trash can into the face!

And we heard from Justin Roberts, the only way to win this match is to place

your opponent in the coffin.

Seal the lid shut.

The coffins are ringside. But the battle has begun here on the floor of the

Scots Bank Arena.

Well, Dobby has an excellent game plan to jump off this match the way he did

Where the hell is this maniac going?

Darby Allin taking a massive risk here in the opening moments of this Carlton

match. Carlton dropped right from the top of that line right there.

Darby well documented this man.

He's reckless. He don't care what happens to his body.

Oh, but Moxley.

Moxley turned things around on Darby and just scored a thunderous boot into the

jaw of his opponent.

It almost looks like Moxley's walking away from Darby here, trying to recover.

But Darby, undaunted, continues his attack.

Darby on the charge.

There's battering.

One another here on the steps.

Well, if you remember, John Moxley threw Darby down the steps.

Yeah, the Dutch Riders, this last December, kicked Darby Allen out of

months.

Oh, my goodness.

The drop kick with Darby landing on the steps.

Yeah, Darby's not afraid to put his body at risk.

If he can damage his opponent, he enjoys it. He's a sick man, Darby.

Is he a sick man or does he just want to feel alive?

He's a sick man, in my opinion. And Darby, he is out for revenge.

For, I mean, not just the harm that Jon Moxley and the Deathliners have done to

Darby Allin, but for what they did to AEW.

Uh -oh, uh -oh.

Mox was just right there one step ahead of Darby, landing real hard.

Little landing for Darby Allin, a much -needed counter for Mox.

Fans here, kind of a real Darby Allin.

John Moxley, multi -time AEW world champion.

Well, that can be a big problem for Darby. If Mox starts throwing strikes

chops and punches and forearms, I don't think Darby's going to win that battle.

And also a big size advantage for Moxley.

Yeah, but one of the advantages that Darby Allin has is this is Darby's sixth

time.

Over the barricade into the ringside area for the first time of this match.

That's what he's

The crazed look on his eyes is Moxley.

Oh, and his ear off.

I mean, this is... We saw how Moxley, he mutilated that

ear of Darby Allin in London last month.

And Darby looking to do the same to Moxley here.

Yeah, yeah, this is not going to be a wrestling match. This is a fight.

These guys hate each other. It's more or less a street fight now, just grounding

and... pounding the face in, Darby is on Mox. And Taz in a straight -up street

fight.

Do you think Jon Moxley has the advantage? I would normally think he

Darby is just so resilient. He can take so much punishment. I learned that,

Doran, when we had Team Taz in dealing with this guy. He was insane and tough

topple.

There's some blood somewhere. I see blood.

I don't know if Darby's got an ear bleeding or John does.

Moxley sends Darby into the... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, gosh.

He could have bit the earlobe or something. Maybe it's a broken eardrum.

could be anything. He's biting his ear.

Yeah, I mean, the one thing... He just pushed down that coffin. That's how you

win this match.

He's getting the guy in the coffin and sealing it. And sealing it.

Marina Shafir at ringside.

I would say neither of these guys are scared of the sight of their own blood.

Yeah, how heavy that coffin is when Mach just thumped it on the floor. Listen to

this.

I don't know what he's going to do with this.

He wants to stand it up to put him in there. Set up the coffin, but...

Darby's got to slam that lid shut on Moxley in order to win this match.

Got to get his whole body in there first.

Darby came in like a damn torpedo.

Darby may be having some blood coming out of his nose. Let's take another look

at the speed here.

And Darby's head hit that coffin hard.

Darby raking at the face of Moxley.

Moxley trying to, oh, just a thumb to the eyes. Just gouging the eyes.

Fight for his life is Moxley.

Yeah, I mean, it's scary to be put inside that coffin.

Now Moxley, for the first time this match, into the ring.

Darby.

If you can see, Moxley doesn't often get flustered. But after being inside that

coffin, you can see he's flustered. I think you're right. I think it freaked

out, meaning Mox being in that coffin. It kind of bugged him out a bit.

Was he playing possum?

And now calling the plays to his trusted lieutenant, Marina Shafir.

Mosh just read what we read.

Nothing's over until you run the ground. And now Marina's working with that

turnbuckle on that bottom rope here. Not sure what they have in mind.

Moxley now with Darby.

Oh, man.

You heard the thud, boys.

Now John Moxley. Oh, wait a second. Claudio Castagnoli over the barricade.

And Daniel Garcia.

And Wheeler Yuta. A little last, of course. Full compliment of the Death

I know, I know.

Brian Danielson cannot get involved in this match. I specifically asked Mike

Darby Allen not to get involved.

Well, Lox has got the whole crew out there, so the end might be near for

Allen. I mean, Darby has helped so many people here in AEW.

I'm a little disgusted that nobody's coming out to help him.

And you can't. You gave your word, right? So you can't do anything.

You know what I mean, Brian? You can't.

It's got to be frustrating for you.

You need to understand this is his last chance.

This is his last fucking chance.

John

Moxley

sending the rest of the troops to the back except for Marina.

Thinks he has this thing in hand, and he just hiked.

Now the coffin into the ring.

Oh, even Marina's going to the back. Marina to the back.

Jon Moxley.

He wants Darby Allin in that coffin. He wants to seal the lid shut in the center

of the ring.

Oh, they just shattered his fingers.

God, that was nasty.

That could have broken every bone in the hand of Darby Allin. All those little

bones in your fingers.

I'm telling you, I think they're shattered now on top of this coffin.

Mox just wearing Darby's head out.

Darby trying to cover up.

Mox punches directly to the left eye.

And also closed fist punches, Brian.

There's no disqualification in this match, of course.

Moxley told me he loved me too.

And it was Jon Moxley that ended your career, Brian.

And we could be witnessing Jon Moxley ending the career of Darby Allin

But what Jon Moxley is doing right now is not going

to win him a coffin match.

That's what we like to see from Darby Allen.

Got caught in the choke. Went for a fall for drop.

Good rear choke.

Darby. Just on a sheer desperate. Oh, wait a second.

Darby had.

be objective, but guess what? Fuck that, guys.

Let's go, Darby!

Roger.

Coffin! Drop on the coffin!

Come on, Darby! Get him in the coffin!

Moxley, covered in his blood.

They're about to be covered in the lid of that coffin. This might be it for

Moxley.

Bent at such an unnatural angle.

Grotesque angle.

And popping him back into place.

Well, those dislocations, you can do that. It hurts when you do it, but you

could pop him back in place, but you lose some strength.

Yeah, even if it's broken, just trying to get it alive. That's right.

And now Darby with the pipe, dude. That's a straight -up pipe. You heard it

the metal steps.

Galvanized pipe in the hands of Darby Allin.

Is Jon Moxley still?

I think still incapable of making a fist, but, oh.

He's able to throw a boot to the midsection.

Now Mox with the fork. Come on, Darby. Oh, God, this is going to be bad.

Come on, Darby.

Darby desperately fighting against Moxley. Yeah, got him in the eye.

The thumb of Darby Allen in the eye of Jon Moxley. Now Darby.

Got an adrenaline rush, Mox.

The elbows, the knees.

Battering Darby Allen.

And, Taz, you said it. This is where Moxley has the advantage with the

He does.

Size and striking.

What the hell is this now?

Oh, he's going. He's going. Oh, my God.

Runner on the coffin.

Just got to put him in the coffin, seal the lid, and it's over for Darby.

I mean, when you even look at that lid, it's destroyed. Isn't even feelable at

this point. That's a good point.

He's going to take another one with the Death Rider Darby.

Crash landing on the lid of the coffin.

If I'm Moxley, I'm getting him out of the ring and use this other coffin

in front of our announce desk here, which is not as damaged.

Just blood coming out of Darby's mouth right now.

Jon Moxley sends Darby into the coffin.

Come on, Darby. You got to get out. You got to get out. Seal the lid and it's

over, Mox.

You got to get out.

Darby. Get that hand out with the pipe. Use the pipe.

And the pipe, it's not over. The match is not over.

Mox is not aware.

He's not aware, I'm telling you.

Darby now with the pipe in hand. Using it to choke Moxley.

Moxley trying to escape from Darby Allin.

Trying to get, yeah, it's tough.

That pipe is tight across the throat.

Darby is hanging on.

But Moxley smashes. Darby gets a barricade, but Darby smashes Moxley in

with the pipe. What an impact right there by Darby.

What a shot.

I haven't stood up at all.

Given what he deserves, Darby.

John Motzley.

It's from 10 months ago, 11 months ago.

Left. Brian Daniels is head of the bag.

Now getting the same treatment from Darby.

Moxley frees himself from the plastic bag, but he has not freed himself from

Darby Allen. Darby Allen still on the attack.

The fans are saying this is murder. This is what John Moxley deserves.

I'm thinking this is exactly why Moscow soaked the rest of the death riders out

of the ringside area.

That's a body bag, something that Darby has used a lot on people.

Come on, Darby, you got to get up.

And if Darby's in the body bag, I mean, it just makes it doubly tough for him to

escape that cough and to prevent the lid from being sealed shut.

After the impact, I mean, I think Darby's definitely...

Dunsky here.

Max, I'm sorry, Pat, dipping up that body bag.

Right now, Pat literally doing a heavy lifting for Mosley.

The lid is shut. The lid is shut, and John Mosley is victorious.

Give a major assist to Pat.

been out with injury. We haven't heard anything about his recovery.

I can't even believe that he played a role in this match.

It never occurred to me, and I'm sure you're in a similar situation.

I don't care who you are. You are not going to recover from that.

And then inside the body bag, Pac, like I said, did the heavy lifting.

Mox finished it off by kicking the lid shut.

And Darby Allin wrapped up in the body bag, completely incapable of stopping

Now the death rider.

I think I'm going to make a fool out of you, kiddo.

a full compliment of the Death Riders.

Now that Pac has returned with Darby Allin in the body bag, in the

coffin.

Oh, man.

Disgusting.

I know it's hard to watch, but I have to get your thoughts

on this.

I mean, I don't have words.

The return of PAC shocked everyone. I mean, shocked everyone, but

also now means the Death Riders.

Having added Daniel Garcia and now packed back. They got numbers, nasty

Maybe more dangerous than ever. Yeah, you got to tip the cap to them.

This is the gateway for those who seek more. This is about me and

my legacy.

A vision of greatness yet to come. I will not rest until I have taken

everything.

this gateway and live this wrestle dream.

An AEW pay -per -view event live Saturday, October 18th from Chaffetz

St. Louis.

Tickets on sale now at AEWTIX .com.

the garbage MJF behind me. So now it's time to look forward in front of it, if

you will.

And you know what I see? I see another man who has been a bit of a thorn in my

ass.

And that's you, Don Callis.

So I'm laying it out, plain and simple. Wednesday night, Don Callis, pick three

of your goons, your three, your biggest, your baddest, your toughest, and y 'all

can take on.

Is it ready to come back?

Back, Izzy.

And I have to tune into Dynamite this Wednesday night live on TBS and HBO Max

find out a resurgent conglomeration about to descend on Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania. Coming up this Wednesday night, calling out the Don Callis

But up next, we have a massive four -way match for the AEW Women's World

Championship. The Toxic Spider Tecla, Jamie Hayter, Chris Statland are

challenging Toxic Spider.

I am Tony Storm, the director of the motion picture you're about to see.

I remain a woman in search of her murder.

The queen of the silver screen.

The reign may be endless. Every woman with a pulse.

The risks get more reckless.

Do you want to get knocked?

And now she's hired three ladies on the hunt for her most prized possession.

Time up your tits and let's tango!

The British brute, seeking redemption for years against all those who took

belt from her hands.

The specimen from outer space, whose broken friendship left her lost at a

fork in the road.

And the Austrian spider.

That's one crazy bitch.

Four women, four wild worlds, and only one gold to hold. Jamie Hayter,

Chris Statlander, Tecla, and

did you expect somebody else?

Timeless, timeless, timeless Tony Storm in Four

Ways to Die.

Trim your balls.

We're about to go.

Unpredictable.

Has never been pinned or submitted inside an AEW ring.

And in just a matter of moments, could be the next AEW Women's World Champion.

Tekla has made an impact since the moment she arrived here in AEW. Took

out Jamie Hayter. Tekla did on her very first night.

Peter just returned from injury, and Tekla put her back on the shelf.

And that was just the start of the carnage that this woman caused.

Pat, are we looking at the next EW Women's World Champion? There's a good

that might happen with Tekla.

We're going to find out here.

Chris Statlander moving with purpose, heading straight to the ring.

Does not want to have to wait as long as he has for another opportunity to

become KDW Women's World Champion, Brian.

Yeah, sorry, I feel a little out of it after what happened at the end of that

last match. It's understandable.

As you know, you've got a job to do. You've got to be a pro when you want.

The woman that had her way as AEW Women's World Champion ended

by Toni Storm.

Jamie Hayter and Toni Storm are then very different places than

where they are today.

arguably the heaviest hitter in this matchup.

I'd say the same for Datlander, but I'll tell you what, this four -way match for

the AEW Women's World title will be awesome. I'm telling you.

Where's the champ? Where's the champ?

the most prolific the most dominant champion in the history of the

title timeless tony storm called for this match brian he asked

for Three other women to step up, putting herself, Toni Storm, and her

tremendous jeopardy in a four -way match. Yeah, I have a lot of respect for

Storm. She wants to push herself to the utmost limit. She even mentioned on

Wednesday that she could see that there was a real chance of her losing the

championship. Oh, wait a second. Wheeler, you know.

Wow. Yeah, the friendship over the years.

We got to get this guy out of here. Come on. You know.

I don't think Statlander needs any motivation.

I mean, seriously.

You know she's got an opportunity for the championship here. Yeah, and this is

her first chance in over four years at the AEW Women's World Championship.

You know she chopped at the bit, and here we go.

Remember the last time that Chris Statlander had a shot at the AEW Women's

Championship? Willa Yuta was by her side.

A long way to a second now. Action's falling out of the ring. Tekla.

Right in front of our broadcast position, but Toni Storm, Jamie Hayter.

Tekla's undefeated. She's never had an opportunity at the title, so... Oh,

out! Whoa!

That landed a big dropkick.

Takes Tekla off her feet.

And now... The powerhouses, the heavy hitters of this match.

Chris Statlander, Jamie Hayter teeing off on one another. Maybe I spoke too

about Jamie being the heavy hitter.

Power slam.

Power slam, Statlander. It's the first pinfall attempt of the match.

Jamie Hayter immediately retreats to the outside.

The match has to be won inside the ring.

Statlander. What is Statlander going to do? Who's she going to go?

In her eyes. Oh, Tecla.

Smocked by Tecla.

A hip attack.

Toxic Spider to the floor.

There's Statlander.

Backdrop. And then Statlander. On the floor. Takes out Hayter on the outside.

Who's doing DDT?

Oh, tackler from behind. All four ladies down on the outside here for the big

prize here. AEW Women's World Championship.

And Tecla now with the advantage.

Crashing it on the pile. Sending Hayter. Crashing it to the barricade.

Tecla showing a lot of intensity.

Yeah, for me, Tecla's the real dark horse here.

I think you might be right.

Yeah, the others have so much history with each other. They may get caught up

all those emotional issues. Look at that.

But Tecla has none of that. On the ramp.

I mean, Tecla, she's...

Just seemingly out for blood, and she doesn't care who she spills.

Jamie Hayter's included.

Remember, Hayter put Tecla on the shelf, so she's got a lot of... I'm sorry,

Tecla, vice versa, yes.

A lot of hate, you know, for Hayter. So, wow, she's got... Yeah, I think she

just did that to make a statement more than any sort of hatred for Jamie

I mean, what better way... Hold on, look at this guy. She's taking a delta.

What better way for Tecla to announce her arrival in AEW?

than by taking out a former AEW Women's Royal Champion, who she is just lashing

with that leather belt.

Yeah, and in these four -way matches, it's no disqualification.

All those strap shots, they hurt.

Yeah, that's leather, man. That'll rip your skin up. Yeah, I have experience in

strap matches at All Out.

Oh, but Jenny Hayter went behind using her.

The handkerchief.

And Tekla.

Tecla in desperation mode here, trying to escape the grip of Jamie Hayter.

And Hayter is powerful as heck, so right there, Tecla showing off. What a

forearm, wow.

Yeah, elbow right to the jaw.

Tecla hammering Jamie Hayter, but hammer, throw reversed into the waiting

elbow of Statlander. Statlander booted to the face.

Nobody home, Tony Storm misjudged that. Statlander on the move.

Big elbow strike as Toni Storm up on the top.

Oh, just fist into the small of the back of Hayter. Got to leave a feet to get

good impact.

Oh, boy.

Oh, Tekla.

The legs swept out.

We've seen she can be dangerous from this position, Brian.

Yeah. She hangs upside down.

Yeah, she can do that superplex.

That's Spiders.

Oh, Hayter.

That would destroy most people's knees.

misjudged it, and now Hayter, after Toni Storm was taken down by the suplex,

Hayter and Tekla battling.

Tekla inverted, but a smile, a sinister smile on her face. Great core strength

by Tekla to sit up from there.

She's a toxic spider, right? Yeah, and then the power to slap her from there.

She's still hanging there.

Still hanging there.

But now Chris Statlander. Could she hit Statla with one, too?

Statlander, misjudged.

Her attack there again in Tekla.

Third spider suplex.

Wicked. Yeah, what I think it is is with her legs like that, she has so much

stability where the other women do not.

She's comfortable in that hanging in there. Her instep hit in the middle

Yeah, she has so much mobility as well.

Truly unpredictable.

Unorthodox competitor who moves in very distinct ways.

She's expulsed, you know, and I think Thomas Strong's going to... Oh, there

go.

Right in the yam bag.

I'm not sure what to say about that. I think it's the yam bag, Tess. I hear

Oh! But Statlander right there. Hayter follows it up.

Hayter. Nice throw by Hayter.

Backdrop suplex now.

The backbreaker from Jamie Hayter.

Toni Storm.

Hater.

Now, wait a second.

That's a little ambitious. I know how strong Jamie is, but that's maybe not

ambitious. She knew her strength and nailed it. Yeah, I'm actually really

surprised she was able to pull that off with how powerful Statlander is.

Absolutely. It's hard to do that on two humans.

Now Jamie Hayter, delayed vertical suplex on Tekla. No, Tekla finds her

Hayter, though.

Big elbow strike. Tekla. Oh, winds up and starts her with that one.

Double chop right there by the champion.

Groundhouse kick, though, by Chris Statlander. Thrust kick by Hayter.

Tekla charging in. Oh, kick to the knee.

Great job by Tekla to bring a taller opponent back down to her level. Look at

that. Oh, Stat.

Statlander, neck breaker.

Breaking up the pinning predicament. Now Statlander on the move.

Fireman's carry. Hader escapes.

Statlander elbow. Hader comes back with a lariat.

All four athletes down and out right now. And all four athletes, Tad,

for the fence. Oh, yeah. I think looking for that knockout shot because they

know the deck is stacked against them in this four -way match. Look at this

lariat. Come back and off the ropes there with momentum by Hader.

Yeah, what I was...

Really impressed with in this exchange was how hard Tekla was hitting. She's

smallest woman in the match, but she generates so much power with that elbow.

You know, you expect it from Stat. You expect it from Jamie Hayter. And even

from Toni Storm.

Yeah.

But look at Tekla's elbows. Oh, my gosh.

That was just an open -handed shot. I think that was an elbow.

Oh, yeah, those are open -handed strikes.

You asked for it.

Now Statlander.

You can't tell three women to come on and then not expect to get knocked down.

What a run and boot by Stat.

Statlander occupying the center of the ring.

But Tony Storm, Jamie Hayter uniting.

Double shoulder blocks.

And double hammer throw into the ring.

Statlander. Breaks through and breaks through again.

Rolling elbow strike. Oh, nobody home for Statlander.

And...

It's interesting to see Jamie Hayter and Toni Storm working together here.

But now the champ and the former champ may finally have their showdown.

Back at a knee by Tekla. And the angle, the angle of that chop block.

Yeah, but Tekla, she seemed too focused on Hayter, allowing Toni Storm to come

in from behind.

Double hammer throw.

Boot into the jaw of Toni Storm.

And Jamie Hayter.

Wait a second, Tekla.

Two for one for Tekla now.

Oh, but Statliner breaks it up. Stomach was open and started. You know, she got

right on Tekla's midsection there. Oh, God. Oh!

Saturday night fever on the outside.

Doug rolling.

Rolling Lariat. Hit Hayter.

intended target, but Toni Storm now, the German suplex.

And a hip attack!

And she got all of it.

Storm zero!

Toni's going to take it! One, two, no!

Hater there to keep the match going.

Yeah, that's the tough thing about these multi -person matches.

You can have somebody pinned, but you have to have everybody else out of the

way, too. And it's not like you're trying to save your opponent. You're

to keep the opportunity for yourself alive.

Yeah, you're trying to stop the match from ending.

And now, again, the champion, the former champion. They have center stage.

Hader inviting the contact from Tony Storm. Tony Storm.

And Jamie Hager exchanging shots in the center of the ring.

If I'm Tony Storm, this isn't a battle that I want right now.

Jamie Hader.

Intense on making up for lost time with this move.

Hader looking for the hater aid, but instead Tony Storm countered. Was

Storm zero?

Backbreaker.

Avoided. Tony on the move.

No. There it is.

Hatebreaker. And she hangs on.

Overhooking the arm.

Here it comes.

One,

two. No.

Tekla breaks it up.

Now, Tekla covers. Smart move. Two.

Oh, Toni Storm able to kick out. It was a smart move. She tried to steal a

victory off of the impact by Hayter.

Oh, beautiful submission here by Tekla. Overhook him with that aversion of a

juju katami for a second.

But now she's transitioned here. That's a neck crank. That's right. Well, it's

actually a neck crank and a strangling.

Yeah, she's cutting off both carotid arteries.

With that S -grip across the side of the neck, that is painful.

Yeah, the leg on one carotid artery, the hands on the other. Toni Storm tilts

into a pin predicament.

Tekla forced to abandon ship. Sorry, X -Talbot. Small by the champion because

that tilt almost got her to retain her title.

Yeah.

I mean, there's a reason why Tony Storm has held the world's championship for so

long. Yeah, very smart champ.

And Tony Storm made it to the bottom rope, but you see Carl Edwards, referee,

wave it off. It's a four -way match. No disqualification.

You don't have to break the submission hold in the ropes.

But Tekla battering the ribs.

Well, Tekla's not going to win that battle, in my opinion, getting physical

strikes with someone like Hager.

Yeah. She's bringing it, though. Yeah. I'm impressed about her willingness to

go.

She did win the toe -to -toe battle. She did. Right off the apron. Wait a

second. Chris Statlander.

Tony Storm's back was turned. Statlander snuck in the ring.

Nice counter.

And now Chris Statlander turns the corner.

to Chris Statlander.

Chris Statlander with her first world championship.

That's Calvin. I remember several years ago, early on in A .W., you went out and

fought in a match. I don't know who would show.

And she was wrestling.

And I remember saying about Statlander, this girl will be, she is a future world

champion.

Yep. And major props to Toni Storm. What a champion she's been over the last

seven months.

But I'm excited to see what a world championship reign will look like for

Statlander.

Even though she won with the seatbelt pin, I mean, you said you knew it was a

waste of space. I'm just saying.

We'll use the waste of space. The seatbelt pin is a very effective

No argument there. Out to celebrate with Chris Statlander.

Harley Cameron.

Harley Cameron, who was warned by Willow Nightingale not to

trust Chris Statlander. But, Harley, not taking that advice now, Statlander,

the new AEW Women's World Champion, the fourth reign of Toni Storm ends so the

first reign of Chris Statlander can begin.

You can see Toni Storm leaving. She's still in shock over this.

Toni Storm, you have to remember, Brian, put herself in this position.

She asked for three other women to challenge her at All Out. She got her

tonight. Maybe it didn't end the way that Toni Storm wanted with Chris

Statlander, your new AEW Women's World Champion.

Fans, we've had a tremendous night of action here in Toronto, Ontario with All

Out. And just a reminder, we are bringing WrestleDream to St.

Louis, Missouri, AEWTIX .com for your chance to join us.

WrestleDream coming to St. Louis next month.

Can't wait to see you there.

And we will be back on pay -per -view on HBO Max for the second time. Again, I

want to thank everybody for joining us on HBO Max. Here tonight, our debut on

the platform for pay -per -view.

But coming up next, another four -way match. This one for the AEW World Tag

Championship. And did I mention, it is a ladder match. The Young Bucks, Jet

Speed, the Don Callis family, all challenging Brody King.

And Bandito for the title.

New Tag Team Champions.

The meteoric ascent of Bandito and Brody K.

continues.

This is just the beginning of the reign of Brodito.

The champions, they're going to have their work cut out for them in the four

-way ladder match. The first team to pull the titles down will be Tag Team

Champions.

the mechanic of the redemption tour for the young.

If you want to stop Jet Speed, you've got to do more than just knock us down.

You've got to keep us down. In my hometown, Toronto, Canada, we bring

Tag Team Championships home where they belong to the Don Callis family.

Look at the set up for all of the red.

Brodito, you are noticed.

We're going to become the first ever four -time AEW Tag Team Champions, baby.

We're going to show you all exactly why Jet Speed is one of the best tag teams

going today.

The following is a...

at a combined weight of 417 pounds Nick and

Matt Jackson the Young Bucks

I

got

it the Young Bucks bought their entrance back

And it looked beautiful.

They got money now.

Again, they don't have quite as much. I mean, they got a pretty rapid flip.

Well, Nick, he likes the slots, you know. And the ponies. And the ponies.

Matt likes the pyro. Right, right.

Yeah, well, $500 ,000 can buy a lot of nice things, but one thing it cannot buy

is the AEW World Tag Team titles.

They're going to have to earn it if they want to be champions again.

I think Justin Robertson's got a little bit of a boner.

He'll buy himself a new pair of patent leather shoes.

You don't want to get his face kicked in again, which I loved.

Never liked Justin.

Well, the Young Bucks potentially could become wartime

AEW World Tag Team Champions, but...

A wide array of opponents in this match, these two individuals included.

Introducing next, to be accompanied by Don Callis, first contender for the

walking weapon, Josh Alexander.

Crazy, yes.

Well, he's your podcast partner.

Before you guys were doing a podcast out here.

I would actually love to do a podcast with Don Callis.

I would love it, too, because I just wouldn't download it.

I didn't realize you guys were fluent in Spanish.

I couldn't really use you in Arena Mexico and Hangman. We actually talk

to each other.

Yeah, dude, do it now.

Oh, no, later. I'm on camera.

That's your share, all right. I like this guy.

I'd love to ride my bicycle.

Head to Cerro, the walking weapon, Josh Alexander, Head to Cerro, the mad

scientist of Lucha Libre.

Really brings an unpredictable element to this match. You would think that this

type of match, Taz, is maybe not so well suited for Josh Alexander and Head to

Cerro, but they could just round their opponents behind the ladders and grab

title. Absolutely.

I mean, that can happen, and that's not a bad strategy.

People

are in

orange tonight. They're not happy about that.

I just want to point that out. But I'll tell you what. These two guys right here

could be looked at as the favorites of this team because they have great

striking, great high -flying abilities.

They could capture those titles on the top of this arena here. Yeah, Brian.

Kevin Knight has tremendous leaping ability.

And I think with the ladder in play, it is all but guaranteed in this match that

we're going to see something phenomenal from Kevin Knight with the ladder. Yeah,

I'm not necessarily always interested in seeing something phenomenal, although

it gets me excited.

What I'm interested in is seeing their ability to win the World Tag Team

And I think his leaping ability, especially off the ladder, gives him a

shot at reaching those titles because he can reach them from a further distance

away.

One of the most surprising stories of the year was Brody King and Banzito

capturing the AEW World Tag Team Championship from the Hertz Syndicate.

Three -way match also involving FPR earlier this year.

In terms of your minutes spent together inside the ring, Taz, Brody King

and Bandito, I mean, they rate very low on that scale relative to the

competition here in AEW. Yeah, they do, but they both have enough experience and

they're both kind of opposite of style.

Sometimes opposites work, and it's proof with Brodito that's the case.

Yeah, I mean, they got together and they just clicked.

Yes, yes, for sure.

Now, Bandito and Echicero.

Echicero, nice pick of the ankle off that leapfrog by Bandito there. Where's

going? Where's he going? Here we go. Echicero, big rising knee strike into

jaw of Brody King. And Josh Alexander hoists up Brody King. Good strength.

And no small feet as Alexander, the rolling cannonball there on. Oh, diving

drop to the back of the head of Brody King.

Bandito trying to fight at the disadvantage. Now into the grip of

Echicero got that.

Hamilak back there.

Hamilak, I should say, swinging for that mad scientist. Bomb! There he hits it.

Yeah, Echicero, one of the best scientific wrestlers in the world.

Did a little duck walk there. Into the mix comes Jetspeed. Kevin Knight,

Speedball Mike Bailey.

My son's favorite tag team.

jet speed throw not my song

now oh here they

go nice job by jet speed the young bucks and josh alexander taken

out on the outside by jet speed yeah the young bucks despite spending all that

money for their new entrance haven't had any offense in this match so far

Now, they've been completely neutralized. Now is Chet Speed bringing

into the mix, as are Brody King and Bandito.

Oh, here we go, guys. This can get nasty.

Especially once you get these ladders involved.

You're right.

Steel furniture.

Doesn't work well sometimes.

Brody King, Bandito down. And now, wait a second. The Bucks interjecting

themselves into the match, pulling out.

Knight and Bailey boots in the midsection on Brody King.

And the drop kick takes down Brody. It'd be tough to find any team worldwide

that have tandem in chemistry than Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.

And especially a team that is so familiar with competing

in ladder matches, Taz. Yes, exactly.

Young Bucks did a real deal for a long time.

And they ain't stopping anytime soon.

Could be the first and only four -time A .W. World Tag Team Champions.

Bandito. Pass to the back. Oh, great job by Bandito there.

Yeah, the rebound, the arm drag. And now with Matthew Jackson up on the

shoulder. Axe knee on target.

Yeah, Bandito's just had a fantastic 2025.

And he's got...

Matt Jackson positioned for the 21 plex. Nope. Nicholas with the assist. Josh

Alexander for a German suplex. Oh, here comes Brody King.

Brody King.

Just German suplexed three adult men.

Been watching your tapes, Taz. Yeah, right.

Big pal.

Big Brody, nasty, mean, and capable.

Oh, Brody raises the ladder, avoids the dropkick.

Oh!

Right at Matthew.

Not avoid the dropkick from Matthew. And now Nicholas over the top.

See Nicholas with that shoulder heavily taped. Oh, you got to watch Kevin

Knight. Kevin Knight!

A leaping splash.

And while all that's going on. Here comes Vandito!

Vandito over the top.

It's almost like, Brian, every time somebody drops their eyes to pick up the

ladder, somebody else comes flying at them. Yeah, I mean, you know, we just

a women's four -way match.

This is a four -way match, but with tag teams. So there's eight guys around.

There's ladders all over the place.

Yeah, no rest, nothing, nothing. You've got to keep your head on a swivel, you

and your partner.

Yeah, and even keeping your head on a swivel, you've still got the back of

head that you can't see.

away bandito neutralized on the left speedball mark bailey

the triangle moonsault brody king he didn't want to drop his partner forced

hold him up and now the ladder kicked in the face of brody excellent stuff by

speedball right there yeah he speedball is not afraid to take some

Oh, Alexander's going to stop Speedball. He wants to climb that ladder and get

those titles.

Speedball didn't realize that Josh Alexander and Chacero were coming in

him. Alexander a veteran enough to realize that.

Oh, boy.

This is a big double hit block.

I should say Beal.

Oh, and Chacero into the boot of Brody King. Alexander ducks underneath. Now

Alexander. Oh, Alexander.

Crazy. The last.

That may have almost been worse than landing on it.

That is not fun.

Remember the history of neck issues that Josh Alexander has.

Oh, buddy. Oh, for Brody King. That poor ladder. Yeah, I was just checking over

here. The doctors were checking on Josh Alexander.

The way that he hit that ladder was really awkward.

Bounced off it. What impact.

Here comes Nicklaus now.

Nice standard switch.

Nicklaus behind looking for a German suplex, but instead.

Oh!

Dino!

The back of his head struck one of the rungs of that ladder.

And now speedball Mike Bailey.

Charging back in, but nice quick head scissor by Nicklaus. That was excellent.

How quick he did that.

Super kick on target. Bailey being held firm by Nick Jackson.

Top of the ladder rammed into the midsection of speedball.

Yeah, what are we going to see here?

The thing that is maybe most dangerous about the Young Bucks in the ladder

situation is their creativity. Oh, my God. Look at this.

The Santana.

On to Bailey on the ladder. And I think the other thing that really bodes well

for the Young Bucks here is their experience in ladder matches.

They've had so many ladder matches together where none of the other teams

this match have.

Josh Alexander grabbed a handful of hair of Kevin Knight. And now Alexander.

Driving Knight into the ring apron. That's a tough landing for Kevin now.

was really rough.

Young Bucks trying to work some teamwork out here. And the Young Bucks.

They're formerly EVPs, a very good business. But also in association with

Callis. Well, that's, yeah, well, fair.

Oh, no.

What's Brody King up to here?

Brody King.

Oh, God.

Brody King.

I think that was a mistake by Brody Ching. There was a ladder in the ring.

ring was cleared of all the other competitors.

He should have set up the ladder and tried to climb for those tag team

And Brody, his eyes were fixed on the Young Bucks. He didn't see Josh

and Hector Cerro below the apron with the ladder until it was too late.

And Bandito face first to the top of the Spanish announce

desk. Oh, now the tables.

The lumber coming into play here. Yeah, they're just dismantling the tag team

champions right now.

Josh Alexander.

Ooh, Bandito face first into the upturned steel staff. Yeah, you heard

face and head at the hands of Alexander. That was rough.

Those tag team titles are hanging above this ring.

Yeah, this is a smart strategy by the Young Bucks, Hedges -Tarrow, and Josh

Alexander. If you can get all the rest of the people in this match down and out

on the floor.

Yeah, you want to get up a ladder once you get in that ring and try to come up

there and grab those tag team titles.

That's a huge opportunity for the Don Callis family.

It's a big fight, street fight on the outside here, bringing potentially the

World Tag Team Championship into the mix.

The EW World Championship as Josh Alexander bridging a ladder on the

Must have been great with Legos as a kid.

Yeah, I mean, that's a real story here, what Don Callis' family, what the Don

Callis' family can accomplish in this.

Yeah, not just in this match, but of course in our main event as well with

Fletcher challenging Hangman Adam Page for the EW World Championship.

Yeah, can you imagine how unbearable Don Callis would be if he had the tag team

championship? And the world championship in the Don Cowell's family.

That would be brutal.

Oh, look at what Hedgesero's doing, which is so smart. He's locking Brody

feet into that ladder. Brody's in trouble. My God, what's going to happen?

my gosh.

Jackson just smashed Brody King.

One half of the champion. I'll tell you what, big man is hurting right now.

Yeah, he's hurting for sure.

I'm looking over there, and he's not moving.

And meanwhile, people, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight at the mercy.

Well, Nicholas Jackson was just basically playing offensive coordinator

here, pulling plays for these other guys.

Yeah, I mean, I actually think the Young Bucks missed an opportunity to just

speed up. Oh, there they go. I think they just heard me. Yeah, well, because

they kind of swirled. That's what's happening. Josh Alexander spotted it,

into the ring.

Had a double cross there.

Now things breaking down between.

Oh, things really breaking down.

No more friendship.

That's a zero.

And Alexander.

Oh, Nick Jackson is so quick.

That was slick.

Slick Nick for a reason.

Super kicks from Matt and Nick. Oh, now's their chance.

I'm not gonna question the Young Bucks strategy in this match because I mean

they've been in so many ladder matches I think he tried to duck

underneath but then got clipped in the head for Alexander battering ram into

face of Josh Alexander as now Kevin Knight into

the fray alongside people go jet speed

Oh, they're trapped under the box.

Kevin Knight sacrificing himself to hit that splash.

That's a good way to put it. That's what Kevin did, but it worked.

Yeah, I don't know if I've ever seen anybody jump over a ladder like Kevin

Knight just did. He dropped right over it. Yeah.

Oh, we might get new champs.

Jet speed on the ascent, but Brody King, he's not out yet.

Brings Kevin Knight down.

Giant madman right now.

Speedball.

Blocked the right hand from Brody.

Blocked that one with his face. Yeah, he should. The Taekwondo is not going to

help you with a cat this big.

Oh, Kevin knocked out of the pendulum DDT.

Right on top of the head went Brody.

Brody, though, back up to his feet. At least for the moment.

Boots in the face.

Brody sent to the outside with Bandito.

replacing his partner inside the ring.

Grove down, Bailey.

Cutter takes down Knight.

Yeah, Bandito attacks you from so many different angles.

Yeah, and he's a load in the ring.

He's got a good shot right here if he can get up that ladder.

Retain the titles for him and Brody.

Bandito with a clear path to the championships.

Or maybe not.

Bailey to the outside.

Kevin Knight takes Bandito off the ladder.

I like the game plan there by Jet Speed.

One member takes out the dudes on the outside. The other one stays in the ring

to get rid of Bandito and climb the ladder and grab the titles.

Yeah, but now Nick Jackson is getting back in the ring.

Oh, nice.

What a check.

Wow.

Uh -oh. Well, here we go. Now Nick Jackson climbing up. He's got it. Oh,

going to get it. Got his hands on the ladder.

And Nick Jackson.

Turn defense into offense.

Good way to put it, Danielson. That was awesome. But look at Kevin Knight. Kevin

Knight now.

Opportunity's there, dude.

Making the climb. But Matt Jackson brings Knight back down to the ring.

And meanwhile, Nick Jackson sneaks in.

Now Speedball getting in, too.

Speedball with Nick Jackson up on the shoulders. Kevin Knight.

the one that's not a wild little chicken fight breaking out there jet speed the

bucks battling it out on the ladder meanwhile brody he's got bandito up on

shoulder i think brodino might be able to get get the titles like that very

smart move by brody king and bandito but a bad landing for bandito yeah being

on brody's shoulders you don't have the stability that you just did it on the

wall a nice german suplex on the big man by john Josh Alexander.

Alexander, that's a sterile.

Suplex always loves a trick, boys.

Suplex kick's not that bad either.

Josh Alexander turned right into that one.

But Bailey, he's got such great extension on all of his kicking strikes

sure.

How's he doing on his kicks?

First, I got Dan. You should correct me left and right. You correct me. I'm just

new at this job, so I'm trying to figure it out.

Don't worry. We'll carry you through, Taz. Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it.

Mike Bailey.

Now making the climb, but Josh Alexander into the ring. It's so hard in these

matches, especially with three other teams. It's so hard to get everybody

and he's got the toe hold.

I love that strategy.

Snap a guy's ankle or break his foot.

Climb the ladder. Well, especially because speedball's barefoot.

Yes, sir.

Alexander threw a right hand to the jaw of Bailey.

Shot the speedball.

Just stuck on the top of the ladder.

Josh, he's innovative with these ladders. Yeah, but I would have gotten

speedball off the ladder. Because, I mean, speedball's still close to those

titles. You make a wrong move here.

If he's able to get Josh Alexander down.

He's right there to grab the titles. I think Alexander.

He lands one big shot. Yeah.

Speedball.

And there was a big shot right there.

Slapping each other right across the fence here.

Oh, headbutt.

By Speedball. Alexander.

Yeah, Speedball's right there. Oh, Hedgeserro. Great save by Hedgeserro.

exactly. Hedgeserro grabbing the boot.

Or not the boot, the foot of Speedball Mike Bailey.

Hecicero.

Hecicero hammering at the knees.

He's going to cry and get a submission here, guys.

You can't win this match by submission, but you can definitely take somebody

out. You don't think he's going to look at this. Oh, look at this.

On the ladder. I have never seen this before.

Hecicero, the mad scientist of Lucha Libre.

But Speedball.

With his mobility, was able to get out. I don't think anybody else on our roster

could have gotten out of it like that. I think because Speedball was barefoot,

he was better able to slip free of the grip of Hechicero. But now Speedball.

Somebody better check Hechicero's neck.

And I'll tell you what, Speedball, and he really racked up his right leg. and

shin and knee in the run of those ladders. Oh, and I also saw Ed Gesterl

grabbing his fingers. Look at that. She is in speedball. Oh, my gosh, yeah.

Ed Gesterl's finger got stuck in the ladder, but back to the live action.

Alexander, Bandito now in position on the ladders, or very nearly so.

Yeah, but Bandito's closer to the actual titles.

If he can get Alexander down.

Ladder is placed and these guys are fighting. It's kind of in front of the

titles a little bit.

Alexander trying to suplex Bandito onto the ladders. One of the incredible

things about Bandito is how strong he is for his size.

Strong, but does he have the leverage, especially when positioned on the ladder

like that, to get Alexander over for a suplex? Uh -oh. He may not need to.

Drop the titles!

That's exactly what happened, Dan. He did get caught up in the moment. He

have retained the titles from his partner, but he wanted to eliminate

Move, move, move, move, move, move.

Bandito. Still a bit stunned as... See you in hell!

By Matt Schatz in the DDT. Bandito just bouncing off the apron.

Yeah, spiked. He was spiked with that DDT.

Now, action all over the ringside area.

Brody King, speedball Mike Bailey battling in the ring.

Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson ascending to opposite corners.

What's going on? This is nuts.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy. Oh, no.

Mike Bailey, thanks for coming. You're gone. Oh, no.

He's in trouble.

There's no way people get back up for that.

I don't think Well, I also think Brody who that was just Devin I think his

tailbone also the way he landed but to your point and I'm oh my dad he's done

people stop moving But his partner and one hand for just be Kevin Knight

X Calvin has an opportunity to grab these titles every night

Maybe spent a little too much time rearranging the ladders. He wants to

sure it's to the right spot. Do you think Kevin Knight saw what happened to

Speedball?

Possibly.

I don't think he should care about that right now. Because Knight, now the best

chance of anybody thus far.

He's the closest that anybody's gotten so far in this match.

But Matt Jackson.

Up the ladder. The right hands into the face of Kevin Knight.

Both men battling.

Both men.

And he didn't see Nick Jackson there on the floor.

He's still in play.

Josh Alexander is as well.

Got his hand on him. Kevin's got his hand on him. One of the titles.

But Alexander, I think he went through the lungs of the ladder and hit Knight

with the right hand of the midsection.

And, Tavs, with your hands up above your head, you're completely exposed. Yeah,

your abdomen is wide open. Oh, look at Nick list.

And now Nick. Like a cat.

Hedgeserro saving his team's chances in this match. Small time to headbutt a

guy.

Hands by Hedgeserro.

Brody King. How is Brody up?

How is he up? How is he climbing? Just incredible toughness.

From both Brody and Hedgeserro. We saw that fall Hedgeserro took.

Hedgeserro, he's got the assist from Josh Alexander.

Alexander. The back breaking position.

What is he going to do?

Bomb by Josh Alexander.

Very impressive by Alexander. It is deep in the match. That's a lot of power.

Alexander understandably slow to make the climb, but Kevin Knight, the drop

kick.

Again, the leaping ability of Kevin Knight could be the difference maker for

speed.

Yeah, but the other member of Jet Speed, Mike Bailey, he's on the floor still

not moving.

Coming night.

Oh, right side of the ribs by Matthew.

members of Jet Speed.

and his single competitors that have coalesced into such an amazing tag team

such a short amount of time.

And heartbreak once again for Matt and Nick Jackson. Couldn't have happened to

two nicer guys.

Oh, that's not nice. Come on, it's about the rough night for these four guys.

Hey, who's been paid for that sweet entrance, huh? Yeah, that was pretty

Jack Henry.

Oh,

wait a second.

The last time we saw him, he was alive with Matt and Nick Jackson. But now.

Well, yeah, we've seen what happened on VTA. That's Rocky Romero.

Wait a second, Jack.

Oh, Jack.

Yeah, Jack Perry, he had sent a handmade knife to Matt and Nick Jackson saying,

for the next time you want to stab me in the back, here you go.

Yeah, probably not smart to come out and attack the Young Bucks by yourself.

Yeah, but I think it was smart by Jack because he came out to attack the Young

Bucks after all this stuff happened in this matchup for the tag team titles.

But the Young Bucks are pissed.

So they're going to take it out on Chap.

Jeff Perry!

in return for Jack Perry and Luchasaurus.

Moxley are not going to take this lying down. And hopefully we'll have some sort

of follow -up coming up this Wednesday night on Dynamite.

We'll be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And speaking of which, coming up.

This Wednesday night, Mark Briscoe, Hologram, and their mystery partner,

on the Don Cal's family, Hechicero.

Konosuke Takeshita and the unified champion, Kazuchika Okada, in a big

trios match.

Yeah, wow.

Okada and Takeshita on the same team. I wonder how that's going to go. What

stage is Hechicero going to be in? And plus, Tony Khan, the president, the

founder of AEW, has an important announcement live.

This Wednesday night from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on TBS and HBO Max.

But coming up next, it's main event time live in Toronto.

Kyle Fletcher, the TNT champion, challenges hangman Adam Page for the AEW

Championship. And as Fletcher agreed to this past Wednesday night, absolutely no

outside interference.

Six years ago, dreaming and hoping to be a world champion. You are not ready.

If you want to be someone who can carry this company for decades, then I will

give you a shot at this championship at all cost.

The Proto Star is your TNT champion, and that is not going to change.

If Don or any other member of the Don Callis family gets involved, you would

stripped of the TNT championship.

Disappoint me.

the TNT champion and maybe in

a matter of minutes the AEW world champion.

But he has agreed, Brian, to do it on his own.

He signed the contract.

Yep, signed the contract stating that if there's any interference and he gets

disqualified, not only will he lose this match, but he will lose his TNT

championship.

Pretty high stakes.

Three to be scripts of the TNT champions. Oh, that's a big deal. So

to make sure, if you're Fletcher, that you and Kyle are on the same page, that

nobody gets a ball here.

Yeah, so many people, myself included, have talked about it's not a matter of

if, but a matter of when Kyle Fletcher will become the men's world champion.

Is tonight the night?

Yeah, the same thing.

I think the type of thing that you were saying about Chris Statlander years ago,

people have been saying about Kyle Fletcher as well. Yeah, absolutely.

And to Dennis' point, it definitely could happen tonight, but it's going to

an uphill battle, in my opinion.

Gilly would hang me.

Yeah, but I mean, Toronto has a history of world championship title changes.

I mean, going back to 1977 when Harley Race beat Carrie Funk for the NWA World

Championship. Could we see another world title change in Toronto tonight?

Definitely could happen.

lecture awaits the arrival of the AEW Men's World Champion.

Hangman Adam Pace, he's been to hell and back both personally and

professionally, but he is a man that I am very proud to have as our

standard bearer, as our AEW.

world champion for sure 100 hangman page has really led a people's movement at

the aw world champion but it's been inspiring and exciting he's been open

how he's formed his moral compass working hard alongside immigrants and

family's tobacco farm he's given so many people opportunities been very

forthcoming about the his failures and because of that people love him myself

included you're joined at the desk by john callous but before we hear from him

So make it official. For one final time tonight, we'll throw it down to the

dapper yapper, Justin Roberts.

Ladies and gentlemen.

the Don Callis family interferes, Kyle Fletcher will be stripped of his TNT

title.

Introducing at this time, the champion from Sydney, Australia,

weighing 249 pounds, he is the

TNT champion, the Brutal Star.

how Fletcher delivered to Hangman through the table Wednesday night.

and I would strongly assume that Fletcher is smart enough and experienced

for a young guy to zone in after that.

But I also noticed when Justin Roberts gave the stipulation about Don Callis

the family, if they get involved and whatnot, hey, Don, who's at the desk of

folks, I'll give you some look there when Justin said that. It's called a

knowing glance. We've already...

Game planned, all of this. By the way, Brian Anderson, use the term moral

compass, which in my opinion has no place in the professional wrestling

industry.

Moral compass, what is that?

There are a lot of people in this industry who agree with you.

Yeah, the successful ones.

Look at the size difference here.

What are you talking about success?

Nobody more successful in all elite wrestling than Hangman Adam Page. He's a

of integrity, a man of pride.

Yeah, we'll see when the going gets tough here tonight.

How much integrity he has.

We've seen the going get tough with Hangman, and we see how he responds, and

responds very well.

Collar and elbow tie -up. Fletcher gaining the first advantage, albeit

of the match.

Hangman can see moving his head side to side, trying to work out some imagined

kinks in that neck test. Probably very stiff. His traps are stiff. His neck.

Nice turn into the snap mare. Good reversal by Fletcher there.

Hangman up to his feet. Handful of hair.

That'll affect your neck.

Fletcher. Yeah, I like this strategy by Kyle Fletcher.

Sticking with Matt Rustling. If he's got any nerves or jitters.

He's a TNT champion. I don't think he has guns or jitters in my view. You

think so? Main eventing his first pay -per -view ever? No, I don't. In a sold

-out crowd in Toronto?

I know Kyle Fletcher. He's a very confident guy.

And the guy sitting to your left helps him with his confidence. We brought in a

bunch of Hangman Page clones for him to spar with and wrestle with.

We know everything Hangman's going to do before he does it.

Thunderous boot delivered by Hangman. You didn't seem to know about that boot.

We're two minutes into the match, Brian Danielson. He's not even going for a

pin. This thing is going to go for a while.

Yeah, I don't disagree with that. But, I mean, even that chop, you can see

Hangman wincing.

Here's a 60 -minute time limit.

That's customary with all NWO championship matches.

Looks like he's challenging Hangman. He is.

Let's go. Let's go chop for chop. I don't think that's smart.

Thanks to that big boot delivered by Hangman.

Hangman is a heavy, heavy hitter.

Yeah, but I know because obviously I have a history of neck problems.

You're not the only one here with that. Yeah, when you have neck issues, it can

really affect your power.

I think we even saw that on that last chop from Hangman.

Well, it's on the right side of his neck, Brian.

Fletcher faked with a chop.

And scored with the kick.

That's smart. Very smart by Fletcher. Yeah, great feint. A lot of times

wrestlers get caught up in a battle of egos.

That was a great feint into the thrust kick.

Rabbit punching right on that training tape is Kyle Fletcher.

Now elbow strikes.

And the hair.

Wrenching the neck of Hangman Adam Page against that top rope.

Yeah, I don't.

Prove of the way Kyle Fletcher hurt Hangman's neck.

And I do approve of the tactics.

Hangman pointed on. That's where the striking of Hangman comes into play.

I do think that Hangman has the advantage now. I do think that also

my view, and knowing him and dealing with him way back with Team Tash, he's

a temper. He's a hothead. And I think if Fletcher can pull that out of him, that

might help Fletcher.

Yeah, but, I mean, that was a decent amount of time ago.

Hangman out of play.

Has been able to control his temper in a way that helps him. Fletcher

overcommitted with the kick.

Yep, it uses that anger. Look at him.

Hangman connects with the Lariat. And now Hangman over the top. Fletcher, no.

Look at that quick flat drop.

That might be it.

With the match in the ring.

Fletcher, the kick connects. And, I mean, Brian, we can feel the impact, the

reverberations from here. Yeah, I mean, that's a perfect example.

of how Kyle Fletcher is the perfect wrestler on paper, right? He's got

He's got agility.

He's powerful.

He looks great. You dress him in suits all the time. What does on paper mean?

That sounds like a qualifier to me. He's just frankly the most gifted guy in

this company.

Amen.

Avoids whatever Fletcher had in mind.

Doubters Fletcher's jaw once again with the elbow strike.

Yeah, it's definitely a qualifier, but he can remove that qualifier if he beats

Hangman tonight.

Fletcher sending Hangman over the barricade here.

Referee Paul Turner admonishing Fletcher, but... Kyle Fletcher. Don, do

you approve of this strategy right here? I approve of winning.

Fletcher and Hangman.

Well, as they say, fortune favors the bold. Sometimes you got to take a

Brian Danielson. Yeah, I mean, I'm well aware.

I just thought as a, I mean, you're, as much as we may dislike each other, I

feel like your strategies are always very strong.

I would have suspected that you wouldn't want him when he's got Hangman damaged

to take a risk like that.

Well, the world title is on the line. I mean, people do.

Extreme things.

Hangman getting the better of that exchange with Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher

a calculated risk, but Hangman was prepared for it.

Oh, right in front of us.

Don, you better not get involved.

I'm not. I'm hiding behind you. Hangman's crazy.

Cast a glance at Don Callis.

Almost inviting Don to get involved.

Do you use his left hand there?

Unless he's suddenly ambidextrous, I will say this

is an advantage for us.

If he's having to go southpaw.

Yeah, I didn't think about that.

That's a great point, Don.

He does that buckshot lariat with his right arm.

That's where he generates most of his power. He's right -handed.

Yeah, but Tez, you and I have called enough Hangman Adam Page matches to know

that he's got... gunpowder in both of his hands he does yes he definitely does

there's no doubt about it i pointed that out earlier very heavy -handed yeah but

when you but when you have neck issues you lose strength in your arms and not

everybody does brian yeah but not everybody does here's the point guys

memory is he hits his finisher with the right arm to have to think even for a

second about using the left is a disadvantage for the champion well

by fletcher going with those elbow strikes right to the back of the neck

And Don does make a valid point. Any hesitation by Hangman and Page,

against a world -class athlete like Kyle Fletcher, could cost Hangman the match

and the championship.

Now you talk about taking chances.

If he's going to do what I think he's going to try to do with that neck, big

mistake. But Brian, we saw Hangman kind of flexing the fingers.

Hangman was...

Thinking, I imagine, about the Orihara moonsault, but Fletcher a step too

Yeah, I mean, it's that hesitation that you just talked about, Don.

Hangman hesitated, and Kyle Fletcher was able to take advantage.

I mean, and Kyle Fletcher is so young. He's such a stud. You can't give him a

moment to breathe.

Absolutely not.

Fletcher, he favors.

Into the apron. Sometimes with Hangman, it's not even about breaking the body.

It's about breaking his fighting spirit.

And that's what Kyle is trying to do right now.

Taking his time.

Taz is seeing Hangman clutching that shoulder.

Yeah, the shoulder is trapped right by his neck.

It was a smart move by Kyle to do what he did on the corner beat of that apron.

But a reprehensible thing that he did Wednesday.

And what he did to Kenny Omega.

Don,

let me get a word in, okay? Go ahead. He wants to get the world championship.

I don't blame Fletcher.

By any means necessary.

He knows the opportunity's there.

That's why he did what he did on Wednesday, and he eliminated Omega.

It's smart by Don and Kyle.

Brian, he told him what he was going to do by the end of the night.

He was forewarned. He was just not forearmed.

Fletcher driving the boots into Hangman.

Into the chest, into the neck. of the AEW World Champion.

There you go.

Now we're wrestling. Rip that trainer's tape off.

Instead, Fletcher just using it as a target.

Hammering with those right fists.

Yeah, that Kinesio tape can really ease some of the pain if you're having it,

when it's shooting down your arms.

When you have nuts about to die.

Almost the last six months of my career, I had to wear that Kinesio tape.

every single match.

It's going to be hard for you to watch this, Brian. I mean, you grab your neck

couple of times watching this.

Involuntary almost.

Yeah, I have empathy for what Hangman Page is going through.

Fletcher setting up the table once again. Very similar to what happened

Wednesday night.

Right at the base of the ring.

I don't know. I broke my neck.

No one gives a shit about that. But I broke it and came back. And you know

There was no tape.

Knees were taped.

And I had power in my strikes. And I think Hangman still does have that. If

could stop this attack by Fletcher. But Fletcher's game plan is phenomenal.

Done. I got to tip my captain.

Thank you, sir.

Yeah, this brain buster.

Hangman's got to get out of this. He's got to get out of this. Yeah, Fletcher

lands this brain buster. It is the end of the night. End of the reign for

Hangman.

Hangman counters. The knee strikes on the crown of the head.

Fletcher tumbling back into the ring.

Backs off the challenger. Hangman.

Thrust kick.

Well scouted. The next hangman caught in the ropes.

Fletcher.

Right on his head.

Oh,

smart to get that quick cover after that nasty landing on the head that hangman

sustained.

Kyle Fletcher, if we're scoring this on points. But we never are done. We never

are done.

Do not count Hangman Page out.

Yeah, but for a man who's in his first world title match, Kyle Fletcher is

an incredible job.

Fletcher makes a Mishinoku driver. Hangman high on the shoulders and neck,

Fletcher changing the angle on that Mishinoku driver to impact the neck.

Yeah, so much of Kyle Fletcher's offense attacks the neck.

One of the questions in this match was, would Kyle be mentally okay out there as

first title match? To your point, Brian, he looks very comfortable right now.

Yeah, he looks great.

But wait, hold on a second. You said he was going to be nervous.

I said he wasn't going to be nervous. No, I said it's a great way to calm

by starting out with some mat wrestling.

Look at this.

Elbow drop on target. One, two.

Non -stop heavy offense by Fletcher. Yeah, I am so impressed by Kyle

composure in this match.

Brian, have you ever seen anyone run up the score on the champion like Kyle

Fletcher is right now?

Now, Fletcher looking for Boston Crab, perhaps maybe a catapult of some sort.

No, steps over Boston Crab.

High angle on it as well.

Again. Punishing the neck as well as the knees, the

lower back of Hangman Adam Page.

Yeah, to your point, Don, I don't think I've ever seen anybody dominate Hangman

in the beginning of a match the way that Kyle Fletcher is dominating Hangman

right now.

And his technique, this is what I'm saying about the perfect wrestler on

his technique on that Boston Crab was fantastic.

Adam Page, six years ago, the very first all -out was competing to be crowned

the inaugural AEW world champion. Now, six years later, could be on the verge

having his second -rate champion cut unceremoniously short.

The explosion on Kyle Kletcher. Look at these kicks.

I've never seen anything like it.

Winging for the fences with that one. But that goes to show the resilience of

Hangman Adam Page.

Taz, if Hangman did not connect with that one, it could have been the end of

match. Absolutely. I mean, Fletcher, I love his intensity, but he was a little

bit overzealous.

Unfortunately, it bit him in the butt.

That was the second kick, and then you see Hangman.

After he did this back roll, here comes Hangman.

Yeah, after the back roll, he kind of got his foot caught up in the ropes. And

think that flight.

That slight misstep gave Hangman Adam Page the moment he needed to hit him

that lariat.

Don,

you very rarely give us insights here at the desk about the game plan of the Don

Callis family, but even at this moment, with Hangman having the upper hand,

would I have to imagine you're very pleased with how the match is

Normally, you can't open the door a crack and let Hangman do anything, but

there's that slight hesitation.

Because of the net.

Great backdrop, I'll say that.

Yeah, I mean, you can't deny what an incredible world champion Hangman Adam

has been.

One -point slam by Hangman.

Springs up to his feet, but pays the price for it. He'll advise.

That's his ego.

Pulls Fletcher out of the cover. May 2.

Fletcher fires that right shoulder up off the mat. Not able to distribute his

weight the way he wanted. Keeps going back and grasping that neck.

Yeah, Hangman Adam Page at 75 % is still better than 95 % of wrestlers.

He really is totally a complete wrestler. I mean, he can brawl. He can

He can fly.

The problem is he's in there with the super stud, Kyle Fletcher.

I think the only downside for you, Don, is that Hangman is not easily

brainwashed.

You've got to have a brain to be brainwashed.

We can't discount the intelligence of Hangman and Adam Page.

A dead eye, perhaps.

Fletcher can feel it coming, but no.

Fletcher for a half and a half. Hangman connects. Big elbow strike.

Into the jaw, Hangman.

Larry sends Fletcher to the outside.

Watch out now.

Hangman looked for it earlier.

Let's find it now.

Kyle Fletcher went for that half and half.

I hate to think what would happen with Hangman's neck if Kyle Fletcher actually

hit it.

Hangman. He bought himself some time.

With Fletcher being down on the outside by that offense, so smart by Hangman not

to be too overzealous shows his experience, hence why he's the champion.

Yeah, but look at how long it's taking him just to climb to that top

He just glanced down at his hand.

Fletcher backed off.

Again,

Hangman was looking for it earlier, finds it this time.

He's moving with purpose. Returns Fletcher to the ring.

He knows the opportunity's there to possibly beat him here.

Powerbomb. Fletcher.

Popped off the second one. Legger bomb. One, two.

Fletcher almost spasms out of it.

That adrenaline is flowing through the body right now of Hangman.

And maybe for the first time tonight, starting to feel it. The momentum

shifting.

Saw Hangman moving with pace, moving with purpose.

But now, I believe because of that neck injury, it's slowing down for Hangman.

Yeah, I mean, I think he had a burst of energy and adrenaline there. And to your

point, Excalibur, yes, it is.

But he's got a ton of fortitude and toughness.

I doubt he's going to stop bringing it to the challenge of Fletcher.

Fans here in Toronto.

Urging on Hangman Adam Page.

The dead eye.

Great counter by Kyle. For the moment avoided.

Fletcher desperately onto those ropes. Oh!

Kick to the midsection.

Hangman steals himself off the middle rope.

Got Fletcher up.

Tombstone pile driver perhaps for Hangman. No. Fletcher kicks. Got it in.

countered by Kyle Fletcher.

Hangman slips behind.

Fletcher puts on the brakes.

Misses Hangman.

years old, competing in his first main event.

It's unbelievable.

Still packing the size on at 26, too. He's going to get bigger and stronger,

which is terrifying.

There we go. A chorus of boos for Kyle Fletcher, but there's nothing

untoward about that in the context of a professional wrestling match, Brian. No.

Nope. He's wrestling a very smart match.

Fletcher finding himself in a very similar position as Hangman Adam Page

years ago. His first opportunity at a world championship.

Tombstone on the upside.

Looks like that jarred the neck of Hangman as well, Brian Danielson.

Yeah, but what about the Hangman?

What about the neck now of Kyle Fletcher? It's a concern.

I mean, he just got dropped straight on his head.

It only takes one impact like that.

Yeah, concern is an understatement, Don.

Someone should check on Kyle here.

If you would like to get your man disqualified. Right here, right here.

But Tav, a man with the character of Hangman Adam Page, you know he doesn't

the disqualification victory.

No, he's a very pride -filled guy.

I mean, oh man, he's about to drill Fletcher on his head here, I think.

Oh!

Spiked!

Fletcher did that to Hangman before inside the ring, but Hangman now

Fletcher on the outside.

An eye for an eye and a neck for a neck.

Master's landing for Fletcher.

And you can see, Tash, just by the body language of Fletcher, how he's tensing

up an impingement on that neck. That's what happens. It just kind of feels like

an injection of cement into your neck and into your arms.

It's a tough landing on top of your skull and just reverberates down your

Yeah, I think Hangman's really evened up the odds here.

Referee Paul Turner doing a great job.

Of officiating this match.

Nobody wants to see this end in a count out.

Very liberal.

With his discretion as Hangman Adam Page.

Gonna try this again.

To the top. Oh my gosh.

Hangman. He rolled through but.

Oh.

Fletcher.

Came steaming in with that kick.

Yeah you better get out.

And now Fletcher, the timekeeper's table, emptied.

Hey!

Enough, Kyle! Here we go, here we go.

What is Kyle Fletcher doing?

What is he doing?

I think Fletcher's looking for that brain buster on the table.

Fletcher can bring Hangman Adam Page back into the ring, Taz, we will have a

AEW world champion. I'm sure of it. Absolutely. I agree. But Fletch is

almost as much as Hangman.

Oh, my goodness.

If there's any humanity here, someone needs to ring the bell.

Hangman is hurt.

You would love that, wouldn't you, Don?

I mean, there's just destruction on the floor here.

Brian, you and I both know he's not walking away from this. He's done.

But Kyle, Kyle's picking him up.

Fletcher dragging Hangman back towards the rim.

Do you know what? I like this. I like the initiative of Kyle Fletcher of

him in the ring. He's going to beat the world champion on his own.

to see him drop on his head again.

Hangman pulling himself into a vertical position with the assistance of the

ropes for Fletcher.

He's got Hangman shut up where he wants him. Oh no! To the back of the head!

A kick to the base of the neck. It hits the neck. That's exactly what I feared

Fletcher was going for.

And he nailed it.

I'm ready!

He is just dominating Hangman Page right now.

On target.

Flush.

On the face.

Sheer drop.

It's over.

Kyle Fletcher.

One, two, three.

Great hot, great toughness by the world champ there.

That looked like three to me.

Even Danielson thought that was it.

I did think it was it.

It was two and a lot, but it was not three.

Got to follow it up.

This is where the poise of Fletcher comes into play. Can he maintain his

composure, Taz?

Yeah, I agree with you, man. I think he can.

That was just excellent.

Maybe he's not going to keep his composure here. Fletcher looks very

Close to the kickoff.

These ignorant fans are getting on Kyle Fletcher. He doesn't like it.

You're not ready at Kyle Fletcher.

It's up to Fletcher, though, Don, to prove them wrong. He needs to ignore

idiots. I mean, he's been proving this whole match that he is ready. He can't

let the fans get under his skin. In my opinion, all that ready shit is

I swear to God.

It really is.

People are not at this level if they're not ready. Men and women on this roster

are all ready. Enough.

Well, Kyle Fletcher is physically ready. It's about whether he's mentally ready

to take that next step.

Hangman vaults out.

He's got Fletcher powerbound position, but Fletcher hammers him. Thrust kick.

Avoided. Rolling elbow strike. Scores for Hangman.

Fletcher volleys back with a thrust kick.

I think Hangman's smart to use his feet instead of that right arm. Bypass by

Fletcher.

The kick, and now Fletcher coming in.

Leaping knee. Hangman goes down in a heap. And just away.

face with the shade off those ropes. That couldn't have been good for his

either. He's getting manhandled right now.

That's what's happening. I'm not going to lie. I agree with you, Don.

Oh, no. Kyle's going to go for it again.

Hangman has been brain busted through one table already.

It's a second one.

It is the end of the reign, the second reign of Hangman, but Hangman.

Escape. Back of the head.

Back heel kick.

Once again to the neck. Hangman.

Reverses out. Hangman.

No, no, no, no, no. Get the ref. Get the ref. Get the ref. Oh, my God.

That table exploded off that Deadeye.

That's the most dangerous Deadeye I have ever seen.

I don't know if we can take another look at that. It seemed like.

Fletcher, his head broke the table and then his head went straight into the

floor.

Through the table, on the floor.

Hangman Adam Page laboring to his feet.

Attempting to return Kyle Fletcher to the ring. Well, that dead eye obviously

leveled the playing field and alleviated some of that neck issue that Hangman

has.

Might be experiencing some weakness in that right hand, looking down at it.

Yeah, I mean, you see it in boxers and all sorts of fighters and all sorts of

wrestlers. There are matches that can take years.

Fletcher for a buckshot lariat right here. We scouted this. This is it.

Buckshot. No.

I think that Fletcher just fell apart from exhaustion and pain. I don't even

think he meant to duck, but it worked.

Yeah, and Taz, Hangman was so committed to that, he threw his entire body into

it. Watch it.

Watch Fletcher's body.

He kind of just crumbled.

But it helped.

Did Hangman spend what was left in his gas tank right there?

Could be.

The amount of torque it takes to hit that move and do it with a bad neck

have finished Hangman here.

Yeah,

both guys just having a really hard time even standing up. Paul Fletcher up to,

or excuse me, Paul Turner up to six on the ten count now.

Hangman the first to rouse.

Kyle Fletcher. Come on, kid.

Getting it up.

Both men, what an incredible contest we're seeing here tonight.

Contribution perhaps for Kenny.

Oh, mega V -trigger.

Oh, the next caliber.

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes. There we go.

Fletcher splits three, half and half.

with Hangman Adam Page.

We know he has what it takes to go all 60 minutes. Does Kyle Fletcher?

You know, I think he does.

He hasn't gone that far.

But Hangman, when I wrestled him for 60, he'd never wrestled a match over 30

minutes in his life.

And here's Kyle Fletcher stepping up. I was so impressed that Kyle Fletcher just

kicked out of that dead eye.

This is a war, guys.

There's no other way to say it.

Back and forth.

Yeah, the type of match that could take years off your career.

Talk about taking time off your career.

That'll do it right there. Yeah, but Don, we're seeing the damage done to

Hangman Adam Page. His neck is making him very slow to capitalize, which I'm

sure you're happy about.

This is, without a doubt, the most physical match that Kyle has ever been

my opinion, and he's been in some physical matches.

Oh, but look at Kyle Fletcher. I mean, he is struggling.

He is struggling to his feet. He's struggling, but Hangman is on the apron,

which is not a good thing, X -Cal, but you know what's coming here?

Shut up!

Now Fletch has got to figure this out right here. He has the champion hurt.

He knows it.

He has to regain his composure and go back to what got him in this position.

Don't play with him, Kyle. Don't play with him. If you want to be world

champion, you've got to take it to him. Drop him on his head again.

Fletcher hammering at Hangman with the heel of his boot.

You can see Hangman has got nothing really much behind those strikes.

That attempted strike. Very ineffective shot to the body by Hangman Adam Page.

Fletcher, you can almost sense his confidence building second by second.

Fletcher's saying, go ahead, hit me. I'm giving you the whole side of my body

and then slapping him upside the head. But Fletcher's still holding on to the

back of his neck.

Cannot forget about the damage he sustained at the hands of the A .W.

Champion. There's nothing left in those strikes.

Yeah, there's not much.

So that's really, I mean, yeah, he has nothing in him. You can see Hangman is

hardly standing.

Nothing. And Kyle is laughing at the champion.

More than half an hour has elapsed as Kyle Fletcher blocks the lariat.

Intercepts with a thrust kick.

Only one more brain buster and this is over.

Hangman could be out on his feet here. Fletcher. He could be seen.

A 26 -year -old Kyle Fletcher is on.

the middle of it. He's going to try to brain buster him right on that exposed

turnbuckle. And if he does that, it's not just the championship reign that's

over, it might be the career of Hangman Page.

Fletcher needs to be careful of how he conducts himself as far as the officials

concerned.

Well, the officials are going to give a little bit of latitude here because it's

for the world title.

Hangman on the steal.

Oh my goodness.

Fletcher.

End of the year. We're going to have a new world champ, I think.

Time to limp off into the sunset, cowboy.

Is he going for that brain buster on the turnbuckle? On the turnbuckle. On the

exposed steel.

Oh, my gosh.

Kyle Fletcher. If he hits this, Hangman's career could be over.

Fletcher. Hangman.
