cracked Mina with a trust kick, but Mina escaped at the two-
count!
Mina rocked Missa with a back fist and then planted Missa
with a Driver for the pinfall victory!
“I think Mina could use another belt on her mantle,” said
Tony Schiavone.
“Only time will tell which champion Mina has her eyes on,”
replied Excalibur.
Stokely Hathaway was backstage with Kris Statlander!
Stokely: “Willow Nightingale once again you have surrounded
yourself with a bunch of deviants. But that is fitting of
you because they are your support system, but they suck ass.
You are the farthest thing from street. Excuse me is there a
problem?”
Stokely called one of the AEW production staff members over
to him.
Stokely: “I saw you shaking your head the entire time.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Willow fan on the crew. Well
guess what, you’ll learn someday.”
Kris Statlander knocked out the staff member with her fist
that was wrapped in a steel chain!
Statlander: “September 7, 2024, it’s going to be the death
of this friendship!”
Grizzled Young Veterans—Zack Gibson & James Drake
vs.
The Outrunners—Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum (with Erika
Leigh)!
Gibson put Magnum in a hammer lock. Drake tagged in and
worked over Magnum’s arm and wrist. Magnum body slammed
Drake and tagged out to Turbo. Gibson grabbed a blind tag
and the Grizzled Young Veterans double teamed Turbo Floyd.
The Outrunners hit a tandem elbow drop on Gibson. Drake
tagged in and clobbered Truth with an elbow strike. Gibson
jumped over the top rope and landed on Truth, smashing him
onto Gibson’s knee, turning it into a stuffed back breaker.
Turbo tagged in and cleaned house on the Grizzled Young
Veterans, picking up the intensity! Gibson anchored Turbo
while Drake connected with a kick to Turbo’s neck. Truth
managed to tag in, climbed to the top, but Drake knocked
Truth off the turnbuckles.
Drake decapitated Truth with the Doomsday Device! The Vets
finished off Truth with the high-low and won via pinfall.
“Their first win in AEW and impressive on many levels,” said
Tony Schiavone.
“The Native Beast” Nyla Rose vs. Aminah Belmont!
Nyla nailed Belmont with a lariat. Nyla rag dolled Amina by
the hair. Nyla choke slammed Belmont! Nyla stunned Belmont
with a spinning beast bomb, pinning Aminah and making short
work of her!
“A dominant victory for Nyla Rose,” said Excalibur.
Four-Way Main Event!
The Don Callis Family’s “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita

Lio Rush!
Don Callis joined the broadcast booth for this match.
Mortos paint brushed Komander and Takeshita headbutted Lio
Rush. The Beast Mortos and Takeshita traded lariats outside
the ring. Komander jumped over the top and wiped out
Takeshita while Lio Rush flipped over the ropes and rocked
the Beast Mortos!
“Every man for themselves,” said Excalibur.
Komander rolled up Lio for a near fall. Lio connected with a
kick to the midsection of Komander.
“I’ve been impressed by what I’ve seen from Lio Rush, and I
don’t impress easy,” said Don Callis.
Komander popped up and dropkicked Takeshita. Komander wiped
out Takeshita and Rush with a tornillo to the floor. Beast
Mortos scored with a tornillo of his own!
“This is a spectacular match! Four athletes who can do
basically anything,” said Tony Schiavone.
The Beast Mortos headbutted Takeshita in the chest. Lio Rush
went for a hurracanrana, but Takeshita picked up Lio for a
power bomb. Lio escaped and staggered Takeshita with a
stunner off the bottom rope!
The Beast Mortos blasted Komander with a lung blower! Mortos
spiked Komander with an inverted sling blade. Komander took
down Mortos with the déjà vu! Lio Rush frog splashed
Takeshita, who had Komander and Mortos stacked on one
another for a pin attempt!
The fans chanted “Fight forever! Fight forever!”

near fall! Rush rocketed out through the ropes with a tope
suicida on Mortos, followed by a second tope! The Beast
