Brian Cage. Ishii went for a suplex, but Johnny escaped and
tagged out to the Beast Mortos.
The Beast Mortos and Ishii rammed one another with running
shoulder tackles. Neither man budged. They collided again
and both fell to the mat. Cage and Briscoe grabbed tags.
Briscoe dished out his redneck kung fu to Cage. Kyle came in
and walloped Cage with kicks. Kyle tried for an ankle lock,
but Cage countered, picking up Kyle and planting him hard on
the mat.
Johnny TV connected with a forearm shot on Kyle and then
tagged in the Beast Mortos. Johnny TV and the Beast double
teamed Kyle O’Reilly. The Beast blasted Kyle with hammer and
anvil elbows. Cage hoisted up Kyle for a suplex and Johnny

and the Beast Mortos! Briscoe attempted the Jay Driller on
Johnny TV, but Brian Cage pulled Mark Briscoe away, saving
his partner. Cage flattened Briscoe with a pump handle pick-
up slam. Kyle immediately drilled Cage in the face with a
running knee. The Beast Mortos was there, though, and he
dropped Kyle with a Samoan Drop!
Mark Briscoe set up a chair in the ring and catapulted off
it, flipping over the top rope with a tope con hiro on
Johnny TV! Mark climbed to the top turnbuckle, but Taya
distracted him long enough for Johnny TV to meet Mark up
top. Ishii grabbed a blind tag, while Mark blasted Cage with
a shotgun dropkick. Ishii and Kyle used a double team leg
sweep-lariat on Johnny TV. Kyle locked Johnny TV in an arm
bar and Johnny TV had no choice but to tap out!
“I’m proud of Kyle, but if he was in there with me and one
of these fellows, it wouldn’t have taken that long to beat
the other guys,” said Roddy.

Matt Taven)

a series of kicks. Fuego went up top, but Roddy met him up
on the top turnbuckle. Roddy picked up Fuego Del Sol and
dropped him onto the turnbuckle. Roderick nailed Fuego with
the End of Heartache and picked up the decisive pin!

double stomp to the back of the head, but Mina kicked out at
the two-count!
Mina wrenched on Robyn’s leg with a dragon screw leg whip.
Robyn reached back and blasted Mina with a running lariat.
Robyn went for a German Suplex, but Mina blocked it, applied
a bridging figure four leg lock, and won via submission!
Lexy Nair was backstage with Hikaru Shida!
Shida: “What did you say? I came up short against Mercedes?
Did you watch the match, Lexy? I had Mercedes beat I was one
Katana away from being the TBS Champion before her watchdog
got off her leash. But no one’s talking about that! I walked
into Wembley last year as the World champion and I will be a
champion again! I will not be an afterthought. I am the Ace
of this division and maybe I need to start showing everyone
what that really means!”
The Iron Savages—Boulder & Bulk Bronson (with Jacked
Jameson)
vs.
Gates of Agony—Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona!

clubbed one another and neither man flinched. Boulder
blasted Toa with a clothesline. Toa busted Boulder with a
Samoan Drop! Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona double teamed Bulk
Bronson in the corner with running knee strikes. They
planted Bulk Bronson and Toa pinned Bulk!
“A formidable duo no doubt about it and there will be title
opportunities for them in the future,” said Nigel.
Lexy Nair was backstage with Lio Rush & Top Flight—Dante and
Darius Martin, and Action Andretti!
“What’s next for you guys?” asked Lexy.
Lio: “I’ll tell you what’s next. You can expect the
unexpected when it comes to this group right here. We’ve got
the hottest tag team in AEW in Top Flight, we’ve got the
hottest rising star in AEW today, Action Andretti. And of
course, you’ve got me, one of the best wrestlers in the
world, Lio Rush.”
Dante: “See now, we are going to run the tag division. We
can do any combination at any time. We can do me and Lio. We
can do me and Darius. We can do Darius and Action. We can do
me and Action.”
Darius: “Don’t forget about the Trios division.”
Dante: “The Trios division? See, now that’s a whole
different thing. We can do me, Lio, and Action. We could do
Action, Darius, and me.”
Action: “We can do a whole bunch of different combinations,
but Darius and Dante, they’re the brothers of the group. But
the four of us have got a brotherhood like nobody else.”
Lio: “So basically what he’s saying is any combination is a
winning combination and you’ve got to believe we’re going to
take this division on the highest flight possible.”
