Both of these guys are known for taking big risks as well as big beatings, so they went out there tonight and had a great wrestling match with wrestling moves in the center of the ring. There was very little in the way of outside-the-ring shenanigans, and the big risks were kept to a minimum. The match was great, and the unexpectedness of seeing these two have great technical exchanges throughout the match made it very memorable. It&#8217;s not we haven&#8217;t seen both of these guys wrestle like this before, but to see them put on a match like this together was super fun. Also, Team Taz didn&#8217;t get involved despite their threats last week. I enjoyed all of this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Outside the Venue<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJon Moxley addresses the attack from KENTA last week and his upcoming challenge for Moxley&#8217;s IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Title. Moxley says he&#8217;s going to dump KENTA on his head in their sanctioned title match, but tonight he&#8217;s just going to have some fun with KENTA in their No DQ tag match.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSammy Guevara needs a minute with MJF. Sammy accuses MJF of trying to take over the Inner Circle. MJF responds by saying he thinks Sammy hates Chris Jericho and wants to take over the Inner Circle himself. Sammy laughs and mockingly repeats what MJF said, then MJF smiles and reveals he was recording Sammy to get audio of him saying he wants to take over the Inner Circle (despite the cameraman recording the entire thing which Jericho would obviously see anyway). Angrily, Sammy throws MJF&#8217;s phone against the wall and punches MJF in the stomach. Sammy leaves while MJF rolls around on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Cezar Bononi &amp; &#8220;Pretty&#8221; Peter Avalon vs Lee Johnson &amp; &#8220;The American Nightmare&#8221; Cody Rhodes<\/strong> w\/ Arn Anderson<br \/>\n(referee: Bryce Remsburg; in the front row: Brock Anderson)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f34b3e717e7','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f34b3e717e7\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f34b3e717e7\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Lee Johnson pins Peter Avalon with a schoolboy<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:47<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nVery good match. I didn&#8217;t expect a ton from this tag match, but with Cody involved I should have known something good would happen. This whole match was built around building up Lee Johnson. Cody and Lee tagged in and out for a while, but as the match went on Cody was more or less sidelined. That left Lee Johnson to take on Avalon and Bononi with only a small amount of assistance from Cody. Johnson looked very good tonight, and he make a huge step forward in his AEW career. It was fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall join Cody and Arn in congratulating Lee Johnson. Tony Schiavone goes over to the stage to get a few words from Johnson. Lee is emotional as he talks about getting through a year of losing for this moment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nEarlier today, Dasha Gonzalez asked the Young Bucks about being knocked out of the tag team battle royal last week. As they begin to respond, the Good Brothers walk up. Anderson and Gallows say they were trying to distract and eliminate Private Party, not the Young Bucks. The Good Brothers redirect the Bucks&#8217; anger towards the Inner Circle. Matt Jackson takes the bait and says he wants the Bucks to defend their titles against Santana and Ortiz next week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDasha welcomes Adam Page and asks about his potential partnership with Matt Hardy. Matt interrupts and says he knows Page doesn&#8217;t want to be in a tag team again, but they should at least go celebrate their win. Page agrees. As Page walks away he runs into Dark Order, and things get awkward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;The Bastard&#8221; Pac<\/strong> w\/ Rey Fenix<strong> vs &#8220;The Hollywood Hunk&#8221; Ryan Nemeth<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Rick Knox)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f34b3e71819','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f34b3e71819\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f34b3e71819\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Pac wins via submission with the Brutalizer<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 4:20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nA fun squash.

MJF was selling his rib &#8220;injury&#8221; to different degrees throughout the match, much to the annoyance of Tony Schiavone, so that was fun. Also, The Acclaimed looked good as the default good guys having to contend with almost the entirety of the Inner Circle. This was a smartly wrestled match by both teams, and Jericho did a great job of building drama when this could have easily been a blow-out. I enjoyed this more than I though I might.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Sammy Guevara comes out and interrupts the rest of the Inner Circe as they celebrate. Jericho is concerned, and he wants to know what Guevara&#8217;s problem is. Guevara responds by saying that he already told everyone that if one more thing happened with MJF, then Guevara would be done. Well, something happened, so now Guevara is done. MJF smirks as Guevara explicitly says he quits the Inner Circle. Guevara walks away as Jericho looks confused and upset.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Outside the Venue<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAlex Marvez tries to get a word from Sammy Guevara as he leaves the building.

Hardy pitches a business deal to Page and offers him a contract. Page says Hardy might be on to something, and he agrees to sign with Hardy. As Hardy turn away to address the cameraman, Page switches Hardy&#8217;s contract with a new contract. Page signs, then he had Hardy sign as well. Without looking at the contract they both signed, Hardy quickly stuffs the papers in an envelope and leaves. Page happily orders another drink.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nOn the stage, Tony Schiavone welcomes Sting. Before Sting can say anything, Taz and Powerhouse Hobbs appear on the video screen. They have a surprise for Sting. The camera pans over to show Ricky Starks and Brian Cage standing over Darby Allin in a body bag. The bag is tied to the back of an SUV, and with Team Taz inside the vehicle, the car drives forward dragging the body bag behind it. Back on the stage, Sting quickly runs to the back.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nEarlier today on a golf course, Alex Marvez approached Kenny Omega. Marvez wants to know why Omega is golfing rather than preparing for his No DQ tag match.

This was a hard-fought match from both women. Hirsch&#8217;s technical skill and power worked well against Rosa, but Hirsch&#8217;s flying backfired on her more than it helped. Rosa took advantage of Hirsch&#8217;s penchant for flying by countering well and following up on some big misses. Rosa worked consistently with slams and strikes that wore Hirsch down, and her steady attack paid off more than Hirsch&#8217;s attempts at big, high-risk moves.

This was chaos and violence pretty much from bell to bell. There was a detour to the kitchen area of Daily&#8217;s Place in the middle of the match, but for the most part the match stayed in and around the ring area. At first KENTA and Omega were both wanting Moxley to themselves, but after a while they began to work better together. A lot of that was necessitated by the fact that Lance Archer wasn&#8217;t going to be an afterthought in this fight. Even with the occasional teamwork though, this match was mostly four individual efforts from guys who just wanted to hurt each other. The Good Brothers naturally made an appearance late in the match, and that definitely swung the momentum into the favor of Omega.
