Thanks to wrestleview.com for the results
It’s Wednesday Night, you know what that means! Excalibur welcomes
us to the Wintrust Arena in Chicago as tonight is the fallout from
Full Gear. We kick the show off with a highlight video showing MJF
defeating Jon Moxley to win the AEW Championship.
Wiliam Regal walks out and down to the ring and says “Would you like
to hear from your new world champion? You’ll hear from him next
week, he doesn’t have time to come to places like Chicago. Mr.
Friedman is on the set of a major motion picture and I am sure
you’re wondering what the union is” A F*** you Regal chant breaks
out!! He calls the crowd uncoothe. He says a number of weeks ago he
sent an email and MJF will explain it next week. He announces next
week but MOXLEY’S MUSIC HITS!!!
Moxley stoically makes his way through the crowd as the crowd sings
along but he doesn’t look anything but pissed off. He slowly makes
his way down to the ring to meet Regal. A “You F**** Up” chant
breaks out as Mox stares down Regal from ringside. He makes his way
in as Danielson runs down and puts himself between them. Danielson
holds Mox back and tries to separate the two. He grabs a mic and
says “Listen Mox, I don’t know why he did what he did. He did a bad
thing, but we’ve all done bad things and please I ask you; he’s got
a bad neck and two brain bleeds don’t hurt him.” Mox paces around
the ring and jaws at Bryan. Bryan slaps him!!! He immediately
apologizes as Mox is INFURIATED! Bryan says “You know your
struggles, my dad struggled with it too. It’s more than wrestling
and when he struggled I didn’t understand. But Regal taught me, and
block the fans out and listen. Because of Regal I could understand
his struggles and before my dad passed I could love him. Imagine
somebody teaching your daughter to love you in spite of your
struggles.” The crowd chants “B*****” Bryan says he loves Regal as
Mox stares on. He grabs the ropes and thinks about things and turns
around to grab the mic.
Mox walks up to Regal and says “Lordship, I only want one thing from
you. I want you to run. Run far away, as far as you can and you
NEVER come back.” “Right now, walk and keep on walking.” He
intimidates Regal who slowly leaves the ring. Mox intensely stares
him down as Regal slowly walks up the ramp. Mox and Bryan look
conflicted as the crowd chant “Na Na Goodbye”
Commentators run down the card for tonight including the 2nd Trios
match, an ROH title match and an All-Atlantic match with Hager vs
