The Acclaim are about to attack the Bucks after the match but SCU
run out and chase them off.
In the back, MJF says that he is going to get a chance to upset all
the “not so smart marks” when he bases Orange Cassidy’s head in
tonight.
A vignette from Darby Allin shows him doing a Rorschack Test and
referring to Team Taz as snakes in the grass. He says that he has
dealt with “shit like this” all his life and he will deal with them.
The doctor holds up a sheet that has Sting’s face on it and asks him
about it and Allin just laughs.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Cody Rhodes comes out as we can see Darby Allin looking on from the
balcony. Tony Schiavone interviews Cody and asks him what went down
last night but before he can answer the lights go out and Sting’s
music starts. Arn Anderson steps between Sting and Cody and says
that he had to get a little closer just to make sure this was real.
Arn says that he knows Sting and Cody has an agenda and for now he’s
going to see his way out of the way and heads to the back.
Schiavone hands Sting the mic and says he is going to get out of the
way, too but Sting demands a hug from his longtime pal. Sting thanks
Tony for helping him out during his career and asks Tony to give us
another “IT’S STIIING” again and Tony obliges.
Cody cuts Sting off and welcomes him to AEW and thanks him for the
assist last week. Cody says he has been waiting to share a ring with
Sting for a very long time but Sting he isn’t here for him right
now. Sting says that there is something that makes him feel at home
and something really familiar to him and then points up at Darby
Allin.
Sting says it’s great to be back on TNT and Cody mockingly says,
“like I said, welcome back, sir.” Sting says he knows that Cody is
aware of everything going on in AEW but “the only thing for sure
about Sting… is nothing is for sure.” Sting says, however, that one
thing is for sure is that he is signed with AEW and plans to share a
lot of time in AEW with the fans and he plans to do it for a long
time. Sting says the way he chooses to play in this sandbox is his
business. Sting puts his arm around Cody and says, “see ya around
kid.”
Team Taz backstage says they are always ready to beat someone’s ass
and are pissed about what happened last week. Taz’s son Hook walks
up and they reveal that he is training with Team Taz now rather than
at Cody’s dojo.
FTR w/Tully Blanchard (12-1) vs. Varsity Blondes (Brian Pillman Jr.
& Griff Garrison) (4-6)
Believe it or not this is a rematch from a July episode of AEW Dark.
This is FTR’s first match since dropping the titles at Full Gear and
Varsity Blondes first appearance as a team on Dynamite .
Pillman starts off against Dax and FTR double team him in their
corner for awhile before Pillman catches Cash with a Flying Cross
Body. Pillman hits a Swinging Neck Breaker followed by a Leg Drop
from Garrison for a nearfall. Pillman goes for another Cross Body
but Dax moves and FTR drop Pillman across the top rope with a Front
Suplex.

distracts the referee. Pillman comes back with a Springboard Flying
Clothesline before tagging Garrison in. Garrison hits a series of
clotheslines and then a Roaring Elbow on Cash. Garrison hits a

into the ropes where Pillman tags his partner. Pillman walks into a
Brainbuster from Dax and then tosses him into the FTR corner. Cash
tags in and FTR hits the Good Night Express for the pin.
Winners: FTR via pinfall (Good Night Express)
Alex Marvez interviews Adam Page backstage about his match next
week. Before he can say anything The Beaver Boys pop up and say they
heard he needed partners tonight. Page refuses them but then asks
who else he can ask. Page relents but says he isn’t joining Dark
Order and this is the only time.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Pres10 Vance (5-3) w/Dark Order vs. “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes
(3-4) w/Lee Johnson
Vance hits a big Spinebuster on Rhodes after some early offense from
the former Black Reign. Vance hits a Pump Kick that knocks Rhodes
off the apron and into the guardrail. Vance lays out a guy at
ringside that grabbed Vance but it allows Rhodes to get going back
in the ring with a series of clotheslines as 10 climbed back in.
Rhodes hits a Running Bulldog for the pin.
Winner: Rhodes via pinfall (Running Bulldog)
Dark Order comes back out and Evil Uno says he isn’t here to fight
and he wants to help improve Dustin’s future. He says that Dustin’s
legacy has gone through five generation but the Rhodes name comes
with pressure. He says that Dustin is the third most important
Rhodes in AEW but the Dark Order can help him. He asks Dustin to
take his “rightful place as Seven” in the Dark Order. Remember,
Seven was the goofy ass gimmick Vince Russo was going to saddle him
with in WCW.
Rhodes slaps Uno and Uno tells them that he will beg the Dark Order
when he finally ‘sees the light.’
Tony Schiavone sits down with Brandi Rhodes and Shaq and says that
he has a history with Jade Cargill and he is a big fan of her but he
didn’t appreciate what she did to Brandi Rhodes. Brandi says she
doesn’t appreciate it either but she wants to settle this before
anyone else gets hurt. Shaq says that he and Cody had a little spat
on Twitter but that was just him having fun and he was a big fan of
the Rhodes family. Shaq says he will be there if Brandi faces Jade,
though. Shaq tells Brandi that while her arm is in a sling she
should watch Jade and get some pointers. Brandi throws a drink in
Shaq’s face and calls him an “overgrown asshole.”
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
The Inner Circle make their way to the ring and Jericho says this
could be the last time they are ever in a ring together as the Inner
Circle. Jericho says that they will either continue to build Inner
Circle as the biggest brand in wrestling or they will disband
forever because he’s tired of the shit that’s been going on. He says
the way they have been pushing each other and bickering has been
embarrassing. Jericho says that Santana is so pissed off he didn’t
even show up this week. Apparently Santana had “personal issues”
that caused him to stay home tonight.
MJF cuts Jericho off and says that he loves each member of the Inner
Circle like brothers. He says that he himself might be the issue
here and he sees what people say about him on social media accusing
him of wanting to take over the group or destroy it. MJF says he
chose to join the group because he wanted to be a part of the
greatest faction in wrestling and he wanted to create a bond that
can never be broken.
MJF says that he loves Sammy and says that he felt betrayed by Sammy
trying to throw the towel in last night. Jericho says that they all
watch the show, they all saw what happened so they know it was MJF
that was going to do it. MJF says that he had sweat on his eyebrow
and he was just trying to wipe it off.
Ortiz says that Santana made him understand that MJF and Wardlow are
assets to the group but as humans that is debatable. He says Wardlow
is great but MJF is growing on him like a fungus. Ortiz tells Sammy
to shake his hand. Ortiz says that Jericho chose MJF and they didn’t
so he gets Sammy’s issues but sometimes in life you don’t get to
choose the hand you are dealt. Ortiz tells Sammy to be the better
man – because he is – and shake MJF’s hand.
Sammy agrees to shake MJF’s hand because he trusts Jericho with
everything because he is the one that brought him in AEW. Sammy says
that if one more thing happens he will quit the group. Sammy shakes
MJF’s hand and Jericho is happy and says everything is cool now.
Hager stops him and asks why Wardlow has been staring at him.
Wardlow calls Hager a weirdo and says that he has been staring at
him since he joined AEW. Jericho suggests that they both stop
staring at each other and they agree. They all flip off the camera
together.
In the back Tully Blanchard says they are unstoppable when they are
together. Dax says they are the best team in the world and from now
on their goal is the Tag Team Titles and nothing else.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
“The Mad King” Eddie Kingston, The Butcher & The Blade (0-0 as a
trios) w/Allie vs. “The Murderhawk Monster” Lance Archer (13-2),
Penta el Cero M (15-7) and Rey Fenix (17-10) w/Jake Roberts
Archer hits a dive over the top onto Kingston’s group to start
things off! All six men brawl all over the place until Butcher slams
Penta through a table. Archer chokes Kingston in the ring as
trainers are checking on Penta who has injured his knee. Fenix tags
in but the heels triple him in their corner almost immediately. They
beat Fenix down for several minutes – with Allie getting involved as
well – but Fenix is able to catch Kingston with a Back Handspring
Cutter out of nowhere as Kingston through him into the ropes.
Fenix makes the hot tag to Kingston as Blade tags in at the same
time. Archer hits a Full Nelson Slam on Blade and then he and
Butcher run into each other. They punch and clothesline one another
but Archer hits a series of elbows on both Butcher and Blade. Archer
dives off the middle rope with a Flying Cross Body on both of them.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

Suplex Blade. Archer injured his own knee during the break. Fenix
tags in and hits a Springboard Frog Splash Cross Body on Blade
followed by a series of kicks on Butcher. Fenix hits the double
spring into a Lucha Armdrag/Headscissors on Kingston and Butcher.

into a Powerbomb/Neckbreaker combo from Butcher/Blade for the pin,
however.

(Neckbreaker/Powerbomb)
Archer attacks Kingston’s crew after the match and destroys all of
them until they finally retreat.

Serena Deeb and Big Swole stop them. Ivelisse and Diamante attack
them from behind, though.
Abadon (5-1) vs. Tesha Price (0-5)
Abadon attacks Price as she gets in the ring with a clothesline and
then lays into her with punches int eh corner before tossing her
across the ring. Price tries to fight back but Abadon destroys her
with a bunch of forearms. Abadon hits a Back Leg Sweep followed by a
Gravedigger (Widow’s Peak) for the pin.
Winner: Abadon via pinfall (Gravedigger)
Abadon continues to assault Price after the match until Hikaru Shida
runs out with a kendo stick and levels Abadon with it! Shida helps
Price up but Abadon sits up and Shida freaks out and leaves.
Backstage, Jericho says that they are going to be ringside for MJF
tonight to ensure that he beats Orange Cassidy’s ass.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Kenny Omega is shown arriving in a helicopter alongside Don Callis.
Alex Marvez tries to interview Omega but Omega brushes him off and
Callis says that Marvez can watch them in the ring like the rest of
the world.
Omega comes out with Callis and Tony Schiavone says he is completely
disgusted about what happened last week but Callis mocks him. Callis
says everyone seems to be upset including Tony Khan but Callis asks
what he’s upset about because Tony was the one that invited him.
“Welcome to the wrestling business, kid,” Callis says. Callis says
people have compared what happened to the Montreal Screwjob but he
says this was much bigger. He talks about Omega appearing on Impact
last night.
Callis says they have been planning this for years. He says that he
watched Omega become one of the greatest wrestlers on the planet and
he says that he and Omega are the ones that created AEW by setting
up the Jericho match in AEW that Khan has admitted was his
inspiration to start AEW. Callis says that everyone wanted the “Best
Bout Machine” and here he is.
Omega says you never saw him begging Khan for a payday for his
friends and families like everyone else but instead they waited for
over a year while they plotting and planned. “Nepotism isn’t it a
wonderful thing,” Omega says. Omega says that people talk about
awards and championships but everyone pales in comparison to the
title he is holding right now. Omega calls the match last week a
“seven star classic” and calls it a performance or fine art because
every person at home watching it fell for his performance. Omega
says he doesn’t care about the fans or Tony Khan or Jerry Lynn
buying into it but the one person they needed to buy into it was Jon
Moxley.
Omega shows off his blackeye and says that Moxley did that to him
but he didn’t have it upstairs to finish it. Omega says no one kicks
out of the One Winged Angel and if you thought Tuesday was crazy you
haven’t seen anything yet. Callis says that some people make money
but Omega makes history.
