The Bunny and Tay Conti very clearly bladed early in the match, but otherwise everything looked very good even when some things didn&#8217;t go according to plan. For instance, Penelope Ford tried to do a diving moonsault onto Tay Conti from the top rope to the floor through a table, but Ford landed with her knees near Conti&#8217;s face. It looked ugly, but it also looked like it hurt a lot. That was kind of the theme of the match. Painful moves and lots of weapons, all done in way that looked like a heated grudge match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA look at Hangman Page and Bryan Danielson before their AEW World Title rematch coming up next week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMark Henry speaks with the competitors in tonight&#8217;s main event via split-screen.
