AEW

Written by Ian Clark

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston hit the ring to open the show. Or at least they would, but 2.0 and Danny Garcia attack them on the way to the ring and bludgeon them with pipes. They then get in the ring and call out Sting and Darby.

Winner: Sammy Guevara

Backstage, Tony Schiavone starts to interview Christian on his Impact Championship win. Don Callis interrupts, congratulates him somewhat disingenuously, says he's happy he'll finally get to have his five star match with Kenny, even if he's going to lose to the One Winged Angel. Christian says Don wants to pretend he's the one in his head, but Christian is in Kenny's head after already beating him for a title. He says Callis still thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, but he's a carny piece of shit.

They show a video package highlighting Dante Martin's performance in the 6 man tag last week.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring with American Top Team. Dan Lambert says his free speech rights were violated and everyone cheered it on. He says AEW sent Lance Archer out to punch him for hurting everyone's feelings. He reminds them that UFC fighters are contractually forbidden from wrestling, but he got an exemption. He challenges the locker room to try them. He says AEW is not the answer, and their roster is all posers. He says all the fans are just desperate because they have nothing else in their lives. Lance Archer comes out, but Men of the Year attack him from behind. It takes a while to stick, but they eventually beat him down.

Backstage, Chris Jericho says he's paid the price for enduring the Labours of Jericho, but tonight he gets what he wanted. He says he might not have Judas or the Judas Effect, but he still has momentum, and the crowd will sing his entrance theme for him.

Winners and STILL AEW Tag Team Champions: The Young Bucks

Kenny and Gallows drag Christian back to the ringside area, unconscious. The Elite start beating down their foes, Don Callis even joins in, Kenny hits Christian with a One Winged Angel, then gets Callis to count to three.

Tony Schiavone interviews Britt Baker, who announces Jamie Hayter as her new fixer. Hayter challenges Red Velvet to a match next week on Dynamite.

Matt Hardy rebukes the idea that he's singling out Wheeler Yuta, saying Yuta's made all the challenges, but he'll gladly face any member of Best Friends. Cassidy responds and challenges Hardy to a match.

Tony Schiavone introduces Paul Wight.

Tony: "Alright, Paul, first of all, thank you, great to be your broadcast partner on Elevation, thank you for having my back last week."

"We've been friends for a long time, but if I'm being honest, it felt amazing to get back in the ring! It felt great to get back in here, put my watch in my pocket, and put Solow on a ride he'll never forget! And I have an announcement for all of you here tonight."

QT comes out. "Whoa, whoa, Houston, we have a problem. I'm just going to stop you before you say something you can't deliver on. We don't build something up just to let the fans down."

"You think I'm out here just to let the fans down?"

"We forgive you for what you did to Aaron Solow last week."

"I'll sleep well at night knowing The Factory forgives me. Why don't you come closer? I'm sure Tony can count to three!"

"You know there's a reason why Tony Khan hired you to be a commentator and not a wrestler chasing titles."

"You came out here, you interrupted Tony, you're starting to make me upset."

"Let me spell it out for these morons in Houston. In my backstage role in AEW, I'm privy to a lot of information. Keith Mitchell, let's throw that up. (they show stills from Wight's hip surgery) You've had five surgeries in the past 18 months just to get back some quality of life. It's a miracle you're still here."

"So you thought it was a good idea to come out here and show pictures of my hip and my big, beautiful ass on television? You think I'm embarrassed of five and a half pounds of titanium? Like that's going to stop me from doing anything? For a man who thinks he knows so much, you don't know anything! I had a conversation with Tony Khan, and it felt so good to climb over that top rope, that at All Out, I have a match. And guess who my opponent is, my little guppie. It's going to be Paul Wight vs. QT Marshall!"

Jade Cargill and Mark Sterling hype Jade Cargill vs. Kiera Hogan on Rampage.

Tony Schiavone tries to get an interview with The Elite, who start bragging, before Khan tells them that there's going to be a four-team tournament, with the winners getting a tag title shot in a steel cage at All Out.

Taz and Hook are in the ring. They introduce Ricky Starks.

"Well well well, look who's creeping and crawling, Ricky Starks is in the mix! Ricky Starks is for the world, and it looks like it's going to be that way for a long time! Brian Cage, you and I keep missing each other, so come on out here!"

They show footage revealing that Powerhouse Hobbs already took out Brian Cage, before Cage gets up and they brawl while the rest of Team Taz gets out of there.

Tony interviews Death Triangle. Pac says All Out is the perfect place to face Andrade, the same arena and PPV where he beat Kenny Omega. Andrade walks in and says he has some conditions. There's a big thick book worth of them.

Match Four: Penelope Ford vs. Thunder Rosa

They open by trash talking, Ford with a pie face, Rosa with a dropkick, chops in the corner, whip, Ford trips, Rosa with a running elbow, whip, reversed, Rosa misses an avalanche, stomps a mudhole in Ford, kick to the gut, suplex, blocked, presses Ford to the apron, forearm, dropkick, chop on the floor, fireman's carry, Ford shoves off, tosses her into the ring post, cutter, rolls Rosa into the ring, cover for two, choke in the ropes, knee, guillotine, running dropkick, springboard knee, dragon sleeper, Rosa sets her up in the corner, knee, running elbow, misses another, Ford with a Helluva Kick, toss to the corner, Helluva Kick, goes for a third one, Rosa dodges, hanging clothesline, running dropkick, suplex for two, Fire Thunder Driver, reversed into a rollup for two, Ford follows up with the Muta Lock, Rosa rolls through, Ford with a rollup for two, Rosa reverses into a half crab, Ford gets the ropes, Rosa with an airplane spin into a DVD for two, Ford with a fireman's carry gutbreaker, Muta Lock, Ford rolls through again, locks in what I can only describe as a cobra clutch with a leg lock for the tapout.

Tony Schiavone interviews Arn Anderson, who says his world has turned upside down since Malakai Black, then reveals his son has challenged Black to a match last week, which he begs him not to take. Brock says that the match is signed, and he's not asking permission.

Miro says that Fuego Del Sol didn't earn his contract. He challenges Eddie Kingston.

Backstage, Jon Moxley says that everyone wants a piece of AEW now that Moxley's no longer champion and everyone else in the main event picture just isn't at his level of skill. He asks Danny Garcia if a match on Rampage is really what he wants.

Main Event: Fifth Labour of Jericho: Chris Jericho vs. MJF (Judas Effect is banned)

Jericho comes out to his full entrance sans backing track, but the crowd sings his theme nearly perfectly.

MJF fakes a lockup invitation, does it again, shove, Jericho goes for Walls of Jericho, MJF immediately gets to the ropes and then the floor, Jericho with a suicide dive, chop, slap, MJF with a knee, takes the video camera, Jericho punches him in the face, goes to swing it, MJF gets back in the ring, Jericho with a chop, chop in the corner, punch, MJF tosses him to the corner, stomps, foot choke, Jericho with chops, MJF with a Flatliner, face wrench, knee drop for two, choke in the ropes, armbar, Jericho punches his way out, MJF with an arm wrench, arm breaker, whip, double clothesline, Jericho to his feet, double axe handle, MJF with a judo throw, trading punches, Jericho with a dropkick, Lionsault for two, chops in the corner, clotheslines in the corner, ten-punch, ten-punch on the top turnbuckle, super hurricanrana for two, MJF locks in Salt of the Earth, Jericho rolls through, locks in the Walls, MJF rolls through quickly, boots Jericho in the face, trading punches, MJF tosses Jericho to the ramp, arm breaker, Heat Seaker for two, punches, Jericho locks in a sleeper, MJF grabs the ref and hits Jericho with a low blow, then locks in the Walls of Jericho on its innovator, Jericho crawls toward the ropes, mulls tapping out, but makes the ropes instead. MJF grabs the diamond ring, ref catches him, takes it off him, Jericho hits him with a bat, mulls the Judas Effect, realizes he can't even though the ref's back is turned, MJF hits the Judas Effect, locks in Salt of the Earth, reversed into a rollup for two, MJF keeps the hold locked in, Jericho taps.

Winner: MJF

MJF gloats as Dynamite goes off the air.
