Max Caster w/Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn
Punk, fresh off his World Championship win on Sunday, dove into the
crowd as he made his entrance. Caster makes the Amber Heard comment
you would expect him to do in his freestyle and Bret Hart also
catches a stray. Dax Harwood and Austin Gunn start the match off and
FTR works Gunn over with some double team action. Colten tags in and
Cash hits a big body drop and dropkick as he comes in. Cash
continues the onslaught with an armdrag into an Armbar. Gunn manages
to get away and tags in Caster but Cash takes him down and tags in
Punk for the first time to a huge pop.

Caster’s arm. Caster manages to slam Punk into the turnbuckles by
his tights and puts the boots to him before raking his eyes. Caster

leaps to the top and hits a Flying Cross Body followed by a tag to

Cash over the top onto Colten and Caster. Punk hits a Fling Elbow
Drop on Austin and calls for the GTS but Billy Gunn gets up on the
apron. Punk dares him to hit him but the distraction allows Austin
to roll him up for two. He goes for the Fameasser but Punk blocks it
and Powerbombs him into Billy before hitting the GTS. FTR this
Austin with the Big Rig for the pin.
Winners: FTR & Punk via pinfall (GTS/Big Rig)
Punk grabs the mic and says he’s never done drugs but imagines this
is what it feels like. He says he knows he has a long way and a ton
of tough roads ahead. He says he wouldn’t be here if his road wasn’t
filled with mistakes that helped him learn and he will continue to
learn. Punk says you can call him something positive or negative, it
doesn’t matter because you have to call him champ. Dax says he’s
done all of those things Punk hasn’t done and he can confirm they
feel good. He says pro wrestling means the world to him and points
out his wife and kid in the crowd and says those are the only two
things in the world that mean more to him than wrestling. Dax says
it doesn’t matter if you’re from AEW or another company, if you get
in their faces you get your ass kicked.
Punk name drops New Japan and says that some of the best wrestlers
in the world are there but he’s also standing in the ring with two
of the best. He says he wants to know who he’s facing at Forbidden
Door and Hiroshi Tanahashi walks out! Tanahashi poses to the crowd
and Punk raises the belt up as Tanahashi motions that he wants it.
MJF comes out and immediately calls for his music to be cut off as
he just glares out at the crowd. MJF says he’s in a lot of pain
after what happened to him on Sunday but all people want to do is
hear him talk. He says he’ll talk but this is Max Friedman talking,
not MJF. MJF says there are a lot of big executives from Warner
Media here and he would hate to embarrass Tony Khan. MJF says that
Khan has wanted to sit down and hash things out for awhile but it’s
too little, too late. The fans start chanting “shut the f*ck up” at
him.
MJF says AEW started as a friend’s company and everyone was just
given a free ride except for him but he busted his ass and made
memory after memory but he still gets no respect. MJF says
everything he touches turns to gold and no one else is on his level.
He says he doesn’t come out expected to hit home runs every week, he
says he’s expected to hit grand slams and he doesn’t every single
week. MJF says he’s constantly held under a microscope because he is
the only person in AEW able to carry the company on his back.
MJF mocks the fans that are clapping for him and asks where they
were this weekend when everyone was calling him an “unprofessional
piece of shit.” MJF says everyone in the back wants his spot, and
that’s fine because he doesn’t want to be here anymore. He calls the
fans “uneducated marks” and says all they do is rant their opinions
on Twitter like it matters but the fans don’t know shit. He says the
fans’ opinions suck and they change on the drop of a dime. MJF says
the fans hated him because he doesn’t pretend to watch NJPW or dump
his opponents on their head or that he doesn’t chase stars. He says
he is the best in the world and he is the only person in the
business that can make fans feel something and he doesn’t have to do
a bunch of bullshit to get them there.
MJF says he is a generational talent and everyone takes him for
granted. He says that he is the biggest minute-by-minute draw in the
entire company but despite that he can’t reach in his pockets and
pay the guy that’s been busting his ass since day one. He says he
wants to keep that money so he can keep giving it to all the ex-WWE
guys he brings in that can’t even lace his boots. He asks Khan if he
would treat him better if he was an ex-WWE guy and says the problem
is that he got a position of power in wrestling when the only
position he should have is behind a guardrail.
He says he doesn’t want to wait until 2024, he wants Tony Khan to
fire him now. He starts cursing at Khan and I’m not sure what he was
saying as it was all bleeped out, his mic was cut and then it went
black before going to commercial.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Johnny Impact comes out for his open challenge and Miro appears on
the screen. He says that the Redeemer is back to take out the punks,
the bastards, the cowboys and when he redeems them all it will bring
him closer to his God who has forsaken him. He says he no longer
wants to be next to God, he wants to take his throne.
Johnny Elite vs. “The Redeemer” Miro
This is Miro’s first match since last November when he suffered a
torn hamstring. Miro immediately takes Elite down and starts beating
the hell out of him.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Elite goes for a Cross Body but Miro catches him and hits a Swinging
Sidewalk Slam. Miro goes for a Pump Kick but Elite escapes and hits
a Roundhouse Kick. Elite throws a series of strikes and follows up
with a Disaster Kick! He follows up with a Standing Shooting Star
Press but he kicked out at one. Morrison hits a Shining Wizard and
then goes to the top and attempts a Harlem Hangover but Miro moves
and hits a Pump Thrust Kick! Miro puts Elite in Game Over and he
taps!
Winner: Miro via pinfall
A video package highlights the Anarchy in the Arena Match from
Sunday.
The Jericho Appreciation Society, sans Daniel Garcia, make their way
to the ring. They say they dominated Anarchy in the Arena, so the
“AEW Galaxy” must appreciate them. Jericho calls Eddie Kingston a
psycho and says he tried to burn him alive and says Danielson is
also a psycho. Jericho says that they choked Danielson out and he’s
not here tonight because of them. He says that Garcia is going to
choke “that fat head” Jon Moxley out tonight, too. He says sports
entertainers always beat pro wrestlers.
Eddie Kingston and William Regal walk out and Kingston starts
freaking out saying he wants to fight them and he’ll fight them all.
He hands the microphone to Regal and tells him to explain it. Regal
simply says, “BLOOD & GUTS!” Jericho refuses, so Kingston runs
down and the rest of JAS attack him. Ortiz comes from the crowd and
hits Jericho with a slapjack before cutting a hunk of his hair out!
Jericho accepts Blood and Guts but only if Ortiz gives him a Hair
vs. Hair Match first and Ortiz accepts.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
After Joe’s match on Sunday he was attacked by Jay Lethal, Sonjay
Dutt and Singh. They continued to go after Joe’s injured arm.
