AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite came to the Akins Ford Arena in
Athens, Georgia, on TBS and HBO Max for a special night
honoring Tanea Brooks, known to fans around the world as
Rebel, who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2026. Rebel
joined Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., to host The Waiting Room and
then delivered Baker’s signature glove to help administer
the Lockjaw for Baker’s first win in nearly two years! The
two celebrated together with a ride up the ramp as the crowd
showed Rebel all the love!

In the opening match, AEW World Trios Champions Swerve
Strickland and The New Level turned away former champions
The Conglomeration in a highly entertaining affair for their
second successful defense. After the match, The Demand and
The Lethal Swirl tried to attack, but Brodido and “Hangman”
Adam Page arrived to even the sides before a slightly tense
faceoff with Swerve, Austin Creed and Kofi.


AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley was on commentary as he
watched his AEW All Out opponent, AEW World Champion Will
Ospreay, turn away David Finlay in an Eliminator match. That
match started immediately after Ospreay saved AEW National
Champion Andrade El Ídolo from a beatdown at the hands of
The Dogs following Andrade’s successful title defense
against The Beast Mortos. Later, Ospreay revealed to Moxley
that he requested his first AEW World Title defense come
against Moxley at All Out.


Plus, FTR and Stoke played a big role in helping “The
Protostar” Kyle Fletcher and “The Jet” Kevin Knight beat the
Young Bucks in a Tables Match main event. FTR tried to do
more damage after the match, but they were run off by TNT
Champion Darby Allin and Steven Borden, who had a successful
television debut early in the night in a win over Mark Davis
and Josh Alexander!


Here's everything that went down on an amazing night for
Rebel!

In Memoriam: "The Butcher" Andy Williams (1977-2026)

Before the night began, we paid tribute to the late Andy
Williams, aka “The Butcher,” who tragically passed away over
the weekend. AEW will honor Williams this Saturday with a
full tribute edition of Collision.

The Waiting Room with Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. & Rebel,
Featuring TBS Champion and CMLL World Women's Champion
Persephone & Hikaru Shida

Rebel introduced Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., although Baker did
refer to Rebel as “Reba” a couple of times, and Rebel made
sure to correct her. Baker introduced Persephone, who
explained why she stood before us as champion of both TBS
and CMLL. Baker acknowledged that her next guest broke her
nose, former AEW World and TBS Champion Hikaru Shida. Shida
entered and said Baker’s nose looks better now that she
broke it. That got a big laugh out of Rebel. Shida said she
used to hate Baker and Rebel, but now she hates Maya World.
Shida brought everyone together, and Baker said fantasy camp
is over and not much has changed, because she’s about to
embarrass and overshadow Thunder Rosa.


AEW World Trios Championship Match: Swerve Strickland & The
New Level (Austin Creed and Kofi) (c) def. The
Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick
Strong)

For the first time ever, Cassidy and Kofi faced off to open
this match in a showdown of massive fan favorites. Cassidy
frustrated Kofi by outwrestling him to get a near-fall and
then made Kofi miss multiple leg sweeps. Kofi was mystified
by Cassidy! Creed and O’Reilly tagged in, with Creed making
the interesting decision to trade low kicks with O’Reilly,
but he changed speeds and caught O’Reilly off guard with a
stiff lariat. Kofi tagged back in, and Creed spun him into a
splash, but Strong immediately hit the ring to break up the
pin. Strong stomped Creed and Kofi into separate corners and
used Cassidy as a weapon to send them into each corner.
Cassidy floated over Strong and pushed him into Swerve with
a nasty forearm. Strong picked Cassidy up again and fired
him backward onto Swerve with a fallaway slam!


Cassidy dragged Kofi to his corner, and O’Reilly and Strong
double-teamed Kofi with a knee drop from the top rope! Creed
found his way into the fray and wound up isolated by the
challengers. Creed tried to fight back with chops, so
O’Reilly cut him off and tried a vertical suplex, which
Creed blocked with some knees. Creed wound up lifting
O’Reilly in a great show of strength for a suplex of his
own. Kofi tagged in and took out everyone in his way. He
wound up with Strong and ran up the ropes to come down with
a crossbody! Kofi hit a big leg drop on Strong and tried to
finish him with a Trouble in Paradise, only for Strong to
catch him for a backbreaker!

Strong couldn’t capitalize, as Kofi tagged Swerve. Swerve
countered out of a pair of Strong backbreaker attempts, so
Strong grabbed the ropes to pull up short of Swerve’s
dropkick attempt. Strong catapulted Swerve over the top, and
in an amazing adjustment, Swerve used a handspring on the
apron to land on his feet on the floor! He pulled Strong off
the apron and draped him across the waiting knees of Creed
as Kofi stomped Strong from the apron! What a spectacular
triple team by the champs!

Strong was thrown back in and stumbled to his feet, so he
didn’t see Kofi come off the top with a splash to Strong’s
back! Creed followed right behind with a top-rope elbow
drop! Creed covered, but Cassidy broke it up. Strong got
free of Creed and tagged Cassidy while Creed tagged Kofi.
Cassidy came off the top, so Kofi ducked and leaped onto
Cassidy with a driving knee to the chest! Kofi tagged Creed
for a flurry of a PK, seated clothesline, rebound splash and
leaping elbow! Swerve tried to roll Cassidy into his grasp,
but Cassidy reversed it into a Stundog Millionaire! O’Reilly
lit up Swerve with kicks and Strong put Swerve down with a
fireman’s carry slam. Kofi hit another PK on Strong, so
O’Reilly dropped Kofi. Creed connected on a thrust kick to
O’Reilly, who rebounded off the ropes, but Creed was ready
for it and used an O’Connor Roll for a near-fall. Creed
pulled O’Reilly off the mat and held him by the waist, so
Kofi came off the ropes with a jumping Fame-asser! Creed
held on and sent O’Reilly to the mat with a wheelbarrow
suplex! Everyone was down in the ring, but the crowd was on
their feet! The New Level chants were loud!

Swerve came off the top to stomp Cassidy, who moved and
stopped Swerve to put his hands in his pockets. Swerve
missed a kick and Cassidy came back with a dropkick. Kofi
and Creed picked up Cassidy for a double back suplex, so he
removed his hands and grabbed them for a double headlock
with his hands back in his pockets! Cassidy threw his
devastating kicks to a seated Swerve, who finally had enough
and rolled to the corner. New Level tossed Cassidy into
Swerve, but he took Swerve over with a tijeras. Cassidy
ducked under Kofi and Creed and took them both over with a
double hurricanrana! Cassidy dove through the ropes and
spiked Swerve with a DDT on the floor. Creed followed with a
diving forearm to Cassidy! Creed avoided a charging O’Reilly
from the apron, but didn’t see Strong, who dumped him on the
apron with a backbreaker! O’Reilly and Strong kept the
attack going on the barricade, so Kofi went to the top and
took them both out with a splash! The crowd broke out in a
“KOFI” chant.

Back in the ring, Kofi avoided the Orange Punch, and Cassidy
avoided Kofi’s spinning kick. Kofi blocked Cassidy’s
spinning DDT attempt and held him for a House Call from
Swerve! Kofi held onto Cassidy and draped him over his knee
for Creed to come off the top with a stomp that turned
Cassidy inside out! That’s Daybreak! Creed covered Cassidy
for the pinfall victory and second successful AEW World
Trios Championship defense in as many weeks!

The champions exchanged handshakes with O’Reilly and
Cassidy, while Strong was already out of the ring. Ricochet
interrupted from the stage with The Demand and ROH World
Six-Man Champion The Lethal Swirl. The Demand said that
because they were able to put down The Conglomeration, they
could come down there right now and handle The New Level and
Swerve. Ricochet wondered why they got to walk right in and
get opportunities. Did they know Swerve? Were they in the
same fraternity? Was it the same step team? Then they should
get to steppin'! As The Lethal Swirl and The Demand
surrounded the ring, former AEW World Trios Champions
Brodido and “Hangman” Adam Page ran out to even the odds!
After they held the ring and the would-be-attackers returned
to the back, Brodido handed The New Level their belts, while
Hangman had a tense moment with Swerve before doing the same
and exiting the ring.

Steven Borden Needed the Fearlessness of Darby Allin

Borden said everyone was asking him, why now? He said the
truth is fear, because he’s been afraid of his father’s
shadow. But when Sting and Allin won the AEW World Tag Team
Titles, and Borden jumped in the ring, something ignited in
him that night. It pulled him into something he’d been
running from his entire life. After watching decades of his
father’s career at Revolution, he realized the decades would
fly by for him too, so did he want to wonder, “What if?” Or
should he run into the thing that scares him? And when he
made that decision, he called Allin, the most fearless
person he knows.

Allin said the training wheels are off and the pressure is
on because the Don Callis Family doesn’t think Borden is
ready. Allin said he knows what Borden is capable of because
he’s not supposed to be the second coming of Sting; he’s the
first Steven Borden!

Remembering “The Butcher” Andy Williams

We went to the commentary desk, so Excalibur, Tony Schiavone
and Taz could share their thoughts and memories about Andy
Williams. The world will miss him more than words can say.
May he rest in peace.

Don Callis Family Speaks Ahead of a Busy Night

Renee Paquette was with the Don Callis Family ahead of their
two tag team matches tonight, but Josh Alexander said he
knew all about Steven Borden and that he has a lot to prove.
Alexander said he’s been on the shelf for five months, so he
has a lot to prove himself. Davis said they will decimate
them!

Callis made Kyle Fletcher admit that he worked well together
with Kevin Knight in their win over Bang Bang Gang on
Collision. Knight agreed and wondered what it would mean if
they beat a team like the Young Bucks. AEW International
Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada walked up to
Fletcher and said he was glad Fletcher finally sees the
value of family. Fletcher blew it off and left with everyone
else in action tonight.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Hikaru Shida & TBS Champion
Persephone def. Thunder Rosa, Maya World & Hyan

This was Baker’s first match back since November 2024. Baker
was about to start, but decided to tag out when Thunder Rosa
was representing the other side. Persephone came in, but
Thunder Rosa dropped her with a pair of shoulder blocks.
Persephone snatched Rosa and ran her into the corner. Rosa
got out of the corner with a backslide for a near-fall. She
dropped Persephone with a Russian Leg Sweep and tagged World
before hitting Persephone with a clothesline. World came in
with a dropkick as Hyan tagged in and finished off the
flurry with a leg drop. She covered Persephone, who kicked
out at two! Persephone broke free of Hyan and sent her to
the ropes for a power slam, but this time it was Hyan who
kicked out. Shida tagged in and tried to kick Hyan, who
rolled Shida into a pin attempt. Hyan blocked another kick
attempt and grabbed Shida to toss her into the top
turnbuckle. World tagged in and Hyan sent her into Shida
with a headscissors. World hit a moonsault from the middle
rope for a near-fall.

Shida cut World off with an eye rake, and when World went to
the ropes, she caught a knee to the back from Baker. World
turned around to Baker, so she didn’t see Shida hit her with
an enzuigiri. World remained in a position of pain for
several minutes with no chance of making a tag. She finally
used the last bit of her strength to battle out of the
corner to tag Rosa. She ping-ponged back and forth between
Shida and Persephone in the corners until Baker grabbed her
attention. Persephone put Rosa in a full Nelson, so Shida
tried a jumping knee, only for Rosa to move! Persephone
caught it in time, but Rosa made the tag to Hyan, who came
off the top with a crossbody to Persephone and Shida. She
dropped Shida with a flying kick, but Baker came in to break
up the pin attempt. Persephone cleared the corner and hit
Hyan with a lungblower as Baker tagged in. Shida came off
the top with a meteora to Hyan, and Baker cleaned it all up
with a neckbreaker. Hyan rolled to the apron to escape
further damage, but Rosa and World came out of nowhere with
dropkicks to take out Shida and Persephone.

Rosa chased Baker out of the ring, who led Rosa right into a
spear by Persephone! World took out Persephone with a
crossbody from the apron, only to eat a flying knee from
Shida. Baker got on the apron, but the crowd came alive
because Rebel came down to ringside in her wheelchair,
emblazoned with “ROLL MODEL,” to deliver Baker her glove!
The crowd exploded into “REBEL” chants! Baker put the glove
on, but Hyan rolled her into a near-fall. Baker hit a thrust
kick and put Hyan in the Lockjaw to get the submission
victory for her side! Shida and Rebel celebrated on the
floor! Baker sat with Rebel, who took them away in her Roll
Model chair before pausing on top of the ramp to soak in all
the well-deserved love from the crowd! That brought us to a
very special tribute to Rebel and the fight against ALS.

AEW National Championship Match: Andrade El Ídolo (c) def.
LFI’s The Beast Mortos

Before the next match, we reviewed Andrade’s comments from
Collision, where he said that while he has the AEW World
Championship Contract, it’s only a matter of time before he
wins the AEW World Title, so instead he’s focusing on
becoming the greatest AEW National Champion of all time!

Mortos tried to charge Andrade at the bell, but Andrade
moved and sent Mortos to the corner. The two exchanged
takeovers until Andrade sent Mortos to the floor. Andrade
followed with a diving hurricanrana to the floor! Andrade
found a pair of admirers in the front row for a selfie and
grabbed Mortos to send him back to the ring. Mortos caught a
charging Andrade and dropped him with a nasty backbreaker.
Mortos clotheslined Andrade over the top and followed with a
huge tornillo to take out the champion! Mortos stayed in
control until Andrade fought back to win a strike exchange
and then took Mortos off his feet with a flying forearm.

With his opponent down, Andrade took the opportunity to
remove his pants, and the crowd loved every second of it!
Andrade measured Mortos for his running knees, so Mortos got
up and popped Andrade up into a Samoan Drop! Andrade kicked
out at two to keep his reign alive. Mortos worked Andrade
into the corner, but Andrade caught him with a headscissors,
which Mortos pulled into an air-robbing lungblower! Andrade
managed to kick out in time again! Mortos sent Andrade to
the ropes, and Andrade managed to bring Mortos down with a
reversal before cracking Mortos with Día de los Muertos! He
picked up Mortos and nailed The DM to get the three-count
and victory!


Andrade spoke to the fans and celebrated his victory until
he was attacked by The Dogs! Gabe Kidd, David Finlay and
Clark Connors took Andrade down, with Kidd grabbing the mic
to say they always stay a step ahead. Before they could do
any more damage, AEW World Champion Will Ospreay rushed out!
He ducked a charging Finlay and got in the ring to throw
Connors over the top rope. Ospreay clotheslined Kidd over
the top and sent a charging Finlay back out the other side!
The crowd chanted for Ospreay and helped Andrade back to his
feet, as they tried to hold the ring. The music of the Death
Riders played, and AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley and
Marina Shafir entered through the crowd so Moxley could join
commentary to watch his opponent for AEW All Out.

AEW World Championship Eliminator Match: Will Ospreay (c)
def. The Dogs' David Finlay

Finlay charged Ospreay from behind, but Ospreay was waiting
with a big boot! Andrade fought Connors back up the ramp, as
Finlay took over on Ospreay in the corner. Ospreay came back
and worked Finlay into a different corner. The two traded
reversals until Finlay spun Ospreay into a release suplex.
Finlay brought Ospreay out of the corner with another
suplex, but that woke up Ospreay, who unloaded on Finlay
with punches. Finlay came back and stomped Ospreay before
hitting a barrage of punches of his own.

Ospreay turned up the intensity with a series of chops and a
back body-drop before clotheslining Finlay to the floor.
Ospreay fed off the crowd and leaped over the top with a
crossbody to take Finlay down! Ospreay paused to stare at
Moxley before turning his attention back to Finlay. When
they returned to the ring, Finlay knocked Ospreay off the
ropes and turned the tide of the match. Ospreay managed to
turn it back around with a springboard forearm. He connected
on a corkscrew kick to get a near-fall. Ospreay and Finlay
traded uppercuts until Finlay gained the advantage, but
Ospreay came back with a barrage of kicks. Finlay stopped
Ospreay from going to the ropes and hit a backbreaker that
got him a two-count.

Ospreay rebounded and sent Finlay to the ropes for a pop-up
powerbomb, which he stacked up, but Finlay managed to kick
out again! Ospreay measured for the Hidden Blade, so Finlay
bailed to the apron. Ospreay came after him, so Finlay
draped him over the top rope. Finlay clobbered Ospreay with
a lariat and covered, but Ospreay managed to kick out.
Ospreay reversed Finlay into a hurricanrana to get yet
another near-fall. He bounced off the ropes and connected on
a spectacular OsCutter! Finlay kicked out! Ospreay went for
a Hidden Blade, but Finlay cut him off and flipped him into
an Overkill attempt, which Ospreay reversed into a Stundog
Millionaire! Finlay bounced into the ropes and into the
waiting arms of Ospreay, who finished Finlay with a Styles
Clash to get the three-count! While Ospreay stared from the
ring, Moxley was nothing but complimentary on commentary
before leaving with Shafir.


Brodido & "Hangman" Adam Page Will Continue the Hunt for the
AEW World Trios Titles

Renee Paquette was with Brodido and Hangman and asked them
if they were still after the AEW World Trios Titles. King
said that was a good question and wondered if Hangman was
still up for going after the titles with them since he has a
reputation for getting around the trios division. King
didn’t think Page was looking for the trios titles when he
came back, and Page agreed, but said he needed that and
still needs it. If it’s cool with them, he still wants to be
a trio. King left it up to Bandido, who was all for it!

TNT Champion Darby Allin & Steven Borden def. Don Callis
Family's Mark Davis & Josh Alexander

For the first time ever on AEW TV, Borden made the walk down
the aisle alongside Allin for this high-pressure tag team
match! Don Callis joined commentary, but it was Tony
Schiavone who spoke up to note how special it was to be
calling Borden’s first televised match on TBS, the same
channel where he called so many of Sting’s matches.


Allin and Davis were both in first until Davis pointed at
Borden, so he tagged in the match to a big ovation! Borden
tried to match power with Davis and was initially shut down
until he hit a big body shot and took Davis over with an arm
drag. He brought Davis to the corner, and Allin tagged in to
take over the headlock. Davis threw Allin away and tried to
hit Borden, but Borden caught him first and bounced him back
and forth with Allin. Allin knocked Alexander off the apron
and took Davis down with a springboard Coffin Drop! Allin
didn’t see Alexander tag in and got chop blocked by
Alexander, which allowed Davis to hit an ugly senton splash
to fold Allin in half!

The legs and back of Darby became a target for Alexander and
Davis, with Allin in big trouble and unable to get to Borden
for a tag. Allin was locked in a Texas Cloverleaf and
crawled to make a tag, so Davis pulled him up for a
powerbomb then paid tribute to “The Butcher” with a duck
walk around the ring! Davis taunted Borden and slammed Allin
before tagging Alexander. He slammed Allin and tagged
Alexander, who slammed Allin again. Davis tagged back in and
went to pick Allin up, but Allin surprised him with a small
package for a near-fall! Davis tried a senton splash, but
missed, so Allin had a path to Borden for a tag! Alexander
knocked Borden to the floor and was immediately droplicked
by Allin into the turnbuckles. Borden got back up on the
apron, and Allin almost made it to him, but Davis grabbed
Borden and threw him into the barricade.

Alexander nearly broke Allin in half with a backbreaker and
tried to charge him in the corner, but Allin got his boots
up. Davis got the same treatment, so he grabbed the boot and
tried to back drop Allin, who landed on his feet into
Alexander’s waiting arms for the same attempt. Allin slipped
out the back again and tagged Borden! The crowd came unglued
as he unloaded on Davis and Alexander! First he slammed
Alexander and then muscled up to bodyslam Davis onto
Alexander! On the floor, Borden jumped off the steel steps
to take Davis down with a flying clothesline. Back in the
ring, Borden had Alexander in a fireman’s carry and chucked
him over his head onto the mat. Borden followed with a
leaping elbow drop and covered Alexander for a two-count.
Borden was too preoccupied with Alexander and didn’t see
Davis come in from behind. He worked Borden into the corner
and tried to pull him up to the top rope, but Borden
dropkicked Davis instead! Borden went up for a superplex,
which Alexander stopped with an Argentine Powerbomb! He
covered, but Allin saved Borden to keep the match alive!


Alexander quickly subdued Allin and attacked Borden in the
corner. He whipped Borden to the other side, and Borden
tried to leap back over Alexander, but Alexander caught him
on his shoulder. Borden floated backward to his feet and had
Alexander in position for a Scorpion Death Drop! Allin went
to the top and came down with a Scorpion Coffin Drop! Allin
dove onto Davis on the floor while Borden covered Alexander
to get the pinfall victory in his first Dynamite match!

After the match, we took a special look at the events that
brought us to the AEW World Tag Team Champions Adam Copeland
and Christian Cage challenging the Young Bucks and FTR to a
3-Way Ladder Match at AEW All Out!

"The Toxic Spider" Thekla Interrupted by AEW Women's World
Champion Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale!

Thekla came out to the ramp and greeted the crowd like only
she can. She addressed AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes
Moné and said she doesn’t need a title to have a celebration
when the party follows her everywhere! Thekla didn’t grow up
a fangirl. She saw someone getting beat up with a raw
chicken carcass in a bar and thought she could do that!
Thekla tried to continue, but was interrupted by Moné from
the crowd. Moné wondered why Thekla thought she would scare
her. She said the name is “Big D Moné” and swung her title,
noting that Willow Nightingale knows how it tastes. Thekla
said if they can agree on anything, it’s that Willow
Nightingale is “the dumbest bitch and the worst women’s
champion in the history of AEW!” Moné nodded from the crowd
as Thekla continued to run down Nightingale in the ring
until Nightingale’s music hit and she was charging to the
ring! Thekla bailed before Nightingale could get to her, and
she was joined by Julia Hart and Skye Blue to complete
Triangle of Madness in the aisle while Moné held up her AEW
Women’s World Title from the crowd.

Will Ospreay Tells Jon Moxley He Asked for Their All Out
Match

In the back, we saw AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley,
Marina Shafir, Daniel Garcia and Gabe Kidd, but PAC came
barging in to tell Moxley he was right to say you should
never trust Will Ospreay. Garcia said he always kind of
liked Ospreay, so PAC reminded him about what happened at
Redemption. Kidd got in Garcia’s face and reminded him of
their history with Ospreay, including breaking his neck, so
why are they showing him respect now? PAC and Kidd continued
to insult Ospreay’s name to Moxley until Ospreay himself
showed up! Ospreay asked Moxley if he could muzzle Kidd,
which sent Kidd into a fury until Shafir led him away.
Garcia followed after, while Moxley got to his feet and
faced Ospreay. Ospreay asked him if he was surprised,
because Ospreay wasn’t. He was the one who asked for the
match, because he owes Moxley for the training to get him
ready for the Owen Hart Tournament. Moxley is the only
person to pin Ospreay this year, so Ospreay thinks that
makes Moxley the #1 Contender. But it won’t be like Dynasty
when Moxley beat Ospreay to retain the Continental Title.
Mox can have the Death Riders out there to second him. And
it won’t be a 20-minute time limit because for the AEW World
Title, it’s 60 minutes. Ospreay isn’t coming for revenge;
he’s coming with a plan, and he’s calculated. He knows
exactly how to beat a Death Rider. What a great way to start
his reign by carving into the skull of the ace. Moxley said
it looks like Ospreay has it all figured out. Ospreay said
he’ll see him in Chicago and left. Moxley peered back at
PAC, who shook his head. Moxley threw a chair and stormed
away.

Tables Match: Don Callis Family's "The Jet" Kevin Knight &
"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher def. The Young Bucks (Matt and
Nick Jackson)

While Fletcher and Knight waited in the ring, the Young
Bucks made their entrance for the main event, but hit the
ring ready to fight, and the two sides came to blows right
away! Matt Jackson sent Knight to the floor with a backdrop
out of the corner, so Fletcher charged in and ate a boot
from Nick Jackson. Matt catapulted Fletcher into Nick for
another kick and then held Fletcher up for a stomp from Nick
off the top. Matt trapped Knight’s head on the apron so Nick
could come across with a kick to knock Knight back to the
floor! The Bucks soaked in the cheers and hit Fletcher and
Knight with stereo crossbodies from the ring to the outside!

The Bucks set up a table near the apron and tried to suplex
Fletcher and Knight through at the same time. Fletcher and
Knight blocked those attempts and brought the Bucks back in
the ring with suplexes of their own. Matt ran Fletcher into
Knight and then backdropped Knight while in Fletcher’s
grasp! Fletcher hit a big boot on Matt, but Nick held onto
Fletcher as Matt floated over for a sunset flip/German
Suplex combination! Nick kicked Knight from the apron, and
he landed on the table. The Bucks both went to the
turnbuckles, so Fletcher pulled Knight to safety, or so he
thought! As they got away from the table, Matt flew off the
top rope to take both out with a crossbody over the ring
post!


The Bucks set up a table in the corner, so Nick went to get
Knight, but he low-bridged Nick over the top to the floor.
Matt caught Knight’s springboard attempt and turned it into
a pair of Northern Lights suplexes. Fletcher tried to stop a
third, but also got caught, and Matt tried to put both
through the table until they broke free. Nick stopped
Fletcher and Knight from putting Matt through the table and
took both down with a tijeras/armdrag takeover. Nick flipped
over the top into the waiting arms of Fletcher and Knight,
who powerbombed him on the apron! Matt came out of nowhere
to boot Fletcher onto the table, which lodged him between
the wood and steel barricade. Knight kicked Matt over the
top rope to the floor as Fletcher got back to his feet and
shouted orders to Knight. Knight flew off the top with a
springboard clothesline to take out both Matt and Nick
Jackson!

The Bucks came back when Matt hit Fletcher with a Sliced
Bread #2 off a table and then a DDT on Knight. The Bucks
tapped Knight in the ropes, so Matt could hold Knight for a
senton bomb from Nick! Fletcher stopped the Bucks from
setting up a table, so Matt hit Fletcher with a facebuster.
They put Fletcher over the top rope, so Nick could stomp him
in the back into Matt for a powerbomb on the table, laying
on the mat! The table didn’t break, although that was still
a devastating landing for Fletcher!

Matt held Fletcher in a tombstone position on the apron
while Nick went to the top. Before Nick could come off,
Knight jumped up and brought him down with a hurricanrana!
On the apron, Fletcher reversed the hold to grab Matt as
Knight went to the top. Matt escaped and pushed Fletcher
into Knight, who had a rough landing on the turnbuckles.
Nick snapped Knight down to the mat with an avalanche
hurricanrana! Matt jumped onto the ropes and yelled, “SEE
YOU IN HELL!” He came down with a spike DDT to Fletcher on
the apron!

Back in the ring, all four men squared off and Fletcher
caught a superkick from Nick and tried to throw it into
Matt, but Matt ducked, and Knight got it instead! The Bucks
took Fletcher down with short-range superkicks, so Knight
tried to fight them off but wound up getting planted by the
Meltzer Driver! Fletcher tried to powerbomb Nick, so he
turned it into a facebuster. The Bucks hit Fletcher with the
BTE Trigger! Knight tried to get up on the apron, so Matt
jumped over him and tried a sunset flip powerbomb through a
table on the floor. Knight hung onto the ropes until Nick
superkicked Knight and Matt put Knight through the table!
The Bucks were halfway to victory!

Fletcher and Nick fought for position in the ring until
Fletcher shoved Nick away. Matt charged at Fletcher, who
acted fast and backdropped Matt over the top through a table
on the floor! Both teams were back to even! Fletcher hit
Nick with a half-and-half suplex and a running boot in the
corner. He dumped Nick on his head with a sheer drop
brainbuster! Fletcher set up a table and posed for the
crowd. He threw Nick at the table, so Nick slid under and
slammed Fletcher’s head into the table. Nick superkicked
Fletcher and jumped off the table to stick Fletcher with a
Canadian Destroyer! Nick superkicked Fletcher onto the table
and went to the top rope. Cash Wheeler ran down and pulled
Nick down, as Dax Harwood came in from behind. Somehow, Nick
fought both off and superkicked both Harwood and Wheeler off
the apron! Nick went back to the top, only this time he was
stopped by Stokely, who grabbed his leg! That gave Fletcher
the chance to recover and put Nick through the table with a
brainbuster! Fletcher and Knight win thanks to a big assist
from FTR!

After the match, FTR attacked Nick and got some assistance
from Knight, which allowed FTR to hit Matt with a Shatter
Machine! FTR pulled Matt up for a spike piledriver on the
apron, but Darby Allin and Steven Borden ran out with a bat
and a chair to make the save! They held the ring and
Fletcher and Knight celebrated at the commentary desk. The
Bucks returned to the ring and offered handshakes to Allin
and Borden, which were accepted despite their long and
complicated history. Borden and Allin had a final staredown
with Fletcher and Knight as the night came to a close!
