Kenny Omega&#8217;s music played before the match, but initially only Don Callis and Nakazawa came out. Callis announced that Kenny Omega couldn&#8217;t be here tonight, and Nakazawa would be wrestling in a handicap match instead. Kingston and Moxley headed to the ring from the crowd, and Omega attacked them from behind as they neared ringside. That started a chaotic battle that was more of a fight than a match. After a lot of double-teaming from Omega and Nakazawa, the match started to settle into something that resembled an actual tag match, but after a while Imega decided to take a walk. Nakazawa was left to be destroyed by Kingston and Moxley, and the match ended about how I thought it would. This was entertaining, and it was a nice, small step in the ongoing feud with all of these guys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, the Young Bucks come out to the stage. As Kingston and Moxley are distracted by the Bucks, the Good Brothers attack Kingston and Moxley from behind. As the Bucks and Brothers destroy Kingston and Moxley, Omega comes back out to the ring with Brandon Cutler recording the whole thing. Omega hits Kingston with the One-Winged Angel, and The Elite celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>QT Marshall<\/strong> w\/ Anthony Ogogo, Nick Comoroto, Aaron Solow<strong> vs &#8220;The American Nightmare&#8221; Cody Rhodes<\/strong> w\/ Arn Anderson<br \/>\n(referee: Bryce Remsburg)<\/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_69e60375ddc0e','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_69e60375ddc0e\" 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_69e60375ddc0e\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Cody Rhodes wins via submission with a figure 4 leg lock<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 11:44<\/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. This was a match that QT Marshall needed badly. After being completely dominated (aside from near-constant interference) in his match with Billy Gunn a few weeks ago, Marshall needed to have a good showing tonight against Cody. Marshall definitely had a good showing, and this ended up being a very entertaining grudge match. Both men fought hard, but Cody seemed to be more emotional. Cody was able to channel that emotion into aggression, and that helped him stay in the lead for a lot of this match. I think they maybe went a bit overboard with some of the kick-outs after a few moves that really should have ended the match, but I liked where they ended up regardless. That&#8217;s a pretty small nitpick anyway. I enjoyed this a lot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Anthony Ogogo enters the ring and hits Cody with his bolo punch.

The fight moves across the concourse, and Allin is fairly quickly taken down with Page and Sky double-teaming him. Ethan Page throws Darby Allin down a flight of concrete steps.

As you might expect, this was fairly chaotic. People were in and out of the ring almost constantly, but it did still resemble a tag match. Tags were paid attention to for the most part, so the match never completely broke down into a mess of brawling. Everyone looked good, though Luchasaurus probably had the most dominant segment. Luchasaurus basically reset the match by himself by beating up all of his opponents with relative ease. Luchasaurus was eventually taken to ringside and effectively eliminated from the match, and the final few minutes had some really nice exchanges as SCU, Jungle Boy, and Brian Pillman Jr. all rushed to try to get a pin while other people were still recovering.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA video package shows us the buildup for Jon Moxley&#8217;s defense of the IWGP US Heavyweight Title against Yuji Nagata next week on <em>Dynamite<\/em>!

Omega doesn&#8217;t want to be here, and he wants Schiavone to hurry up and make his announcement. Schiavone announces that next week, the top two contenders for the AEW World Title, Pac and Orange Cassidy, will face each other with the winner going on to challenge Omega at Double or Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Omega knows everyone wants to wants to see Pac and Omega have another classic match, and he&#8217;s eager to just announce that match right now. Orange Cassidy walks up and puts his arm on Schiavone&#8217;s shoulder. Omega knows what Cassidy means for AEW, but someone like him would never be championship material. Cassidy will never take the title from Omega, but he has taken his valuable time. Therefore, Omega takes Cassidy&#8217;s sunglasses and puts them on Nakazawa. Omega says Cassidy won&#8217;t be challenging him any time soon, so he&#8217;ll see him in about ten years when he becomes a full-grown adult.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nStill at ringside, Tony Schiavone welcomes Miro.

It started strong with Sammy Guevara and Dax Harwood getting the fight off to a very fast pace, and the violence gradually increased as more and more men entered the ring. The Pinnacle had an solid advantage for a lot of the pre-match period thanks to their man-advantage in the entry order, but once the final member of the Inner Circle joined the fight, the Inner Circle began to dominate a large part of the official match.<\/p>\n<p>The Pinnacle did lot of the setup work by tearing the ring apart to use as weapons, but the Inner Circle almost invariably used The Pinnacle&#8217;s own weapons against them. With The Inner Circle dominating so heavily for so long, Tully Blanchard and MJF ended up having to come up with a devious plan to even have a chance of winning. The Pinnacle had help in the fact that The Inner Circle were more concerned with hurting every member of The Pinnacle as much as possible without really going for many submissions or asking for a surrender. The longer the match went on, the more it felt like The Pinnacle had a better chance of catching The Inner Circle off guard (despite the fact that by the end of the match, The Pinnacle was being completely dominated physically).<\/p>\n<p>There was a good amount of blood in the match, and there was a good amount of violence. On top of that, there was a good narrative to it with how the match flowed and how it ended. All ten men did a ton of work and put their bodies on the line in this great main event.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, with MJF and Jericho still on top of the cage, MJF pushes Jericho off. Jericho lands on the stage and is quickly attended to by medical staff and AEW personnel. Bloodied, MJF welcomes the boos from the crowd while remaining on top of the cage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI enjoyed this a lot. With Blood &amp; Guts dominating the second hour, the first hour was briskly paced with lots of wrestling back to back. There was a bit of a dip in action leading up directly to the Blood &amp; Guts Match, but that also helped build anticipation. This show felt important in a lot of ways, and the various grudges were what really drove the entire night. Double or Nothing has the potential to be fantastic considering the heated state of all of the stories that were touched on tonight.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Blood &amp; Guts<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m glad AEW finally had their Blood &amp; Guts Match (it was originally supposed to be The Elite vs The Inner Circle early last year), and I&#8217;m glad they waited for a feud like this. I still don&#8217;t enjoy MJF all that much, but they did a great job building his character tonight. Sammy Guevara also really stood out, as did Santana and Ortiz.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pinnacle battles The Inner Circle in Blood &#038; Guts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2799,2800,297],"tags":[7071,2337,6864,2413,2969,2555,6866,7026,844,2163,7068,7072,2805,6581,894,2807,6543,65,315,103,3050,2841,6548,609,1404,2801,3019,6897,7041,7001,2802,7038,1478,3223,583,6542,2087,6552,2838,2058,2831,41,2682,7070,2878,2877,496,610,728,2953,2879,710,6865,6713,2806,7069,6915,711,2894,2844,2823,654,7015,1231,1377,2830,2804,2824,1833,2816,2845,1834,1934,2968,3158,3239,2846,6981,2956,709,599],"class_list":["post-10670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew","category-dynamite","category-show-results","tag-4-way-tag-match","tag-aaron-solow","tag-acclaimed","tag-aew","tag-alex-marvez","tag-all-elite-wrestling","tag-anthony-bowens","tag-anthony-ogogo","tag-arn-anderson","tag-aubrey-edwards","tag-blood-guts","tag-blood-guts-match","tag-brandon-cutler","tag-brian-pillman-jr","tag-britt-baker","tag-bryce-remsburg","tag-cash-wheeler","tag-chris-jericho","tag-christopher-daniels","tag-cody-rhodes","tag-dailys-place","tag-darby-allin","tag-dax-harwood","tag-doc-gallows","tag-don-callis","tag-dynamite","tag-eddie-kingston","tag-eliminator-match","tag-elite","tag-ethan-page","tag-excalibur","tag-factory","tag-florida","tag-floyd","tag-frankie-kazarian","tag-ftr","tag-good-brothers","tag-griff-garrison","tag-inner-circle","tag-jacksonville-fl","tag-jake-hager","tag-jim-ross","tag-jon-moxley","tag-julia-hart","tag-jungle-boy","tag-jurassic-express","tag-justin-roberts","tag-karl-anderson","tag-kenny-omega","tag-luchasaurus","tag-marko-stunt","tag-matt-jackson","tag-max-caster","tag-miro","tag-mjf","tag-mt-nakazawa","tag-nick-comoroto","tag-nick-jackson","tag-nightmare-family","tag-orange-cassidy","tag-ortiz","tag-paul-turner","tag-pinnacle","tag-qt-marshall","tag-rebel","tag-rick-knox","tag-sammy-guevara","tag-santana","tag-scorpio-sky","tag-scu","tag-shawn-spears","tag-socal-uncensored","tag-tag-team-eliminator","tag-taz","tag-technique-by-taz","tag-tony-schiavone","tag-tully-blanchard","tag-varsity-blonds","tag-wardlow","tag-young-bucks","tag-yuji-nagata"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10670"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10670\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11083,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10670\/revisions\/11083"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
