“Daddy Magic” Matt Menard joined the commentary team for
this match.

three consecutive neck breakers for a near fall. Briscoe

Briscoe and Garcia slugged it out in the center of the ring.
Briscoe chopped Garcia in the chest and staggered Danny in
the corner. Danny retaliated with strikes to Briscoe
followed by a John Woo dropkick. Garcia spiked Mark with a
piledriver for a near fall.

ropes, and the ref was forced to break the hold. Three
minutes remained in the match. Briscoe landed the froggy bow
but Garcia kicked out! Briscoe planted Danny with the Jay
Driller and covered Danny, but Danny got his boot on the
rope.

With two minutes remaining, Briscoe went for the Cut Throat
Driver, but Garcia escaped and scored the victory with a
jackknife pin!

“What a match! Still champion!” said Daddy Magic.

“The score is one to one between these two men. I’d love to
see a rubber match,” added Tony Schiavone.

The Death Riders were backstage!

Wheeler Yuta: “Jay White, you are a marked man for
interfering in our match!”

Moxley: “Let’s talk about FTR, whom I’ve always had
tremendous respect for. They took old school to the next
level like our generation does. Two of the toughest SOBs
east of the Mississippi. But they crossed the line by
interfering in my business. But they paid the price. But
then they created a whole new mess and brought a friend in
Cope.

“What do we know about Cope? An innovator, a perennial
champion. Spent nearly a decade on the shelf with a broken
neck. He was extinct and defied the laws of nature to come
back. Adam Copeland came up the hard way. He’s been through
everything and seen everything. But he’s always been a
frontrunner.

“This new world, the AEW of the future, in my world,
survival comes at a cost. You’ll have to evolve into
something new, but I promise you, you will find nothing good
down this road. Hell on earth.”

“The Last Outlaw” Jeff Jarrett vs. Aaron Solo!

Solo ambushed Double J as Jarrett was taking off his
entrance ring jacket. Solo strutted, taunting the Last
Outlaw. Jarrett fired back with a kick to the back of Solo’s
head and then followed up with a back body drop.

Jarrett hit the Stroke and followed it up with a second
Stroke, pinning Solo in a quick, decisive victory!

The fans chanted “Private Party! Private Party!”

back gave out. Action walloped Quen with a Spanish Fly.

Valkyrie)!

the ring, Toni rammed Deonna into the barricade. Taya
distracted Toni while Deonna slid into Toni with a dropkick.

Toni regained her momentum with a running hip attack. Taya
jumped on the apron and distracted Toni again. Deonna
drilled Toni with a release German Suplex, followed up with
a pump kick. Deonna applied the Fujiwara armbar. Toni
reached the ropes with her boot, the veteran experience on
display. Toni cracked Deonna with a headbutt and then a DDT
for a near fall.

After more distraction from Taya, Deonna rolled up Toni, but
Toni kicked out. Toni used a rip cord into a rollup to score
her fifth straight win!

Footage played from Dynamite this past Wednesday.
Christopher Daniels was backstage telling “Hangman” Adam
Page that he believed in him.

Page: “What have you given anyone? What have you given
wrestling? I see an old man clinging on to a sport that left
him behind a long time ago. If you hadn’t already lost your
mind to old age, you would have hung it up five years ago
while you still had an ounce of dignity.”

Hangman slapped Christopher Daniels. Daniels fired back with
repeated headbutts, busting himself wide open! “I’m the
‘Fallen Angel’ and you’ll respect me!”

“Is that what you want? You’ll get it!” replied Page.

More footage played from Dynamite with a camera man asking
the Acclaimed what happened during their match against the
Hurt Syndicate!

Bowens said Caster got exactly what he deserved out there,
and the only reason why he hasn’t punched Caster in the face
is because Billy asked him not to.
