Match 1
AEW Tag Team Title Number One Contender Match
Private Party vs Best Friends
(referee: Rick Knox)
Result: Trent pins Marq Quen after Strong Zero
Time: 15:14
Match Thoughts
Very good match. Private Party took a little while to get warmed up, but they started to dominate late in the match. Best Friends were solid throughout, and they seemed to approach this match in a more straightforward manner. Private Party attempted a lot of complicated double-team moves, and not all of them worked out so well for them. I think that started to cost Private Party as the match went on. Overall though, this was another strong performance for Best Friends. They are definitely on a roll in 2020.
Backstage
Tony Shiavone welcomes Arn Anderson. Anderson isn’t impressed by Archer breaking a toilet with a sledgehammer. Anderson then starts to talk about a lot of “what ifs” during tonight’s TNT Title match. Regardless of what might happen, the title will be decided in the ring between Archer and Cody. Anderson says Cody is a leader, and tonight he will start his legacy.

Jon Moxley says he’s pissed off at Brodie Lee, but more than that, he’s disappointed.
