AEW All-Atlantic Championship: PAC VS Trent Beretta!

The Bastard is all fired up because he just finished out Rampage with Death Triangle! But he also did so the same way he did against Orange Cassidy! Will it be hammer time once again? Or will nothing stop Trent from avenging his Freshly Squeezed best friend?

The introductions are made, the All-Atlantic belt is raised, and we see if a double champion can win a double header!

The bell rings and Trent fires a forearm! Pac gives it back, fans fire up as they go back and forth! Trent gets the edge, he ROCKS Pac then runs, but Pac ROCKS Trent back! Trent and Pac fire more forearms again, Trent gets the edge again, and then Trent runs again. But Pac BOOTS him! Pac runs, Trent ROLLING ELBOWS! Trent then clotheslines Pac out of the ring! Fans fire up as Trent PLANCHAS! Direct hit and Trent rains down hands! Fans fire up as Trent stalks Pac around the way. Trent drags Pac up, CHOPS him, then Trent refreshes the count. Trent scoops to SLAM Pac on the floor! The count climbs but Trent puts Pac in.

Trent stalks Pac along the ropes and ROCKS him! And again! And again! The ref reprimands and counts, Trent lets off at 4. Trent runs in to DROPKICK Pac out of the ring! Trent keeps after Pac, drags him up, puts him in, but Pac hurries out the other side. Trent goes out to CLUB Pac, puts him in the ring, but Pac goes out the other side. So Trent runs in to SPEAR Pac!

Pac confiscates the table, brings it closer to the ring and ramp, then hurries after Trent. Trent BOOTS Pac! Trent puts Pac on the table, rains down fists, then he goes into the ring to go to the ramp! Fans fire up as Trent lines up a shot, runs, but Pac hurries away. Fans boo but Trent WRECKS Pac with a dropkick! Trent goes out to drag Pac up and put him in the ring again. Trent climbs up the corner but Pac hurries to anchor him. Trent CLUBS Pac down, adjusts, but Pac springs up to get at Trent! SUPERPLEX!!

Fans fire up while AEW goes picture in picture! A standing count starts, Trent stirs and the ref checks him. Trent is okay to continue, he and Pac slowly sit up. The count continues, Pac and Trent are on opposite ends at 3 of 10. Pac storms over to stomps Trent down! Pac digs his boot in, lets off as the ref counts, and then he stomps Trent again! Pac digs his knee into Trent now, the ref counts, but Pac lets off at 4. Pac snarls and he stalks Trent to the ropes. Pac puts Trent on the ropes to CHOKE! Pac lets off at 4 and the ref reprimands him. The ref warns Pac to listen to him about the count, but Pac goes to Trent in a corner.

Battle of the Belts 4 returns to single picture, fans sing, “OH~ He is a Bastard~!” and Trent CHOPS! Pac eggs Trent on, Trent CHOPS but Pac CLUBS him. Pac whips corner to corner hard, Pac runs in but Trent DOUBLE STOMPS him down! Fans fire up while both men are down and a standing count begins again. Pac clutches an arm as he gets up. Trent CHOPS Pac again! And ROCKS him! And CHOPS him! Pac swings but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Trent holds on, he drags Pac up again, to HALF ‘N’ HALF! Pac got some air from that suplex! Trent snarls and grits his teeth as fans rally up. Trent runs in at the corner, to back elbow!

Trent then TORNADO DDTs! Cover, TWO!! Pac survives, but Trent’s on the right path like Orange Cassidy was in his own match. Fans rally up and Pac crawls to the apron. Trent keeps him from getting away, but Pac throws a body shot. And an elbow! Pac whips but Trent reverses to send Pac into buckles! Trent then runs to LARIAT Pac inside-out! Fans fire up for Trent as he glares at Pac. Trent storms up, grabs Pac’s legs and YANKS him up, into a PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO!!! Pac survives again and Trent is beside himself! Fans chant, “This is Awesome!” while Trent thinks of what to do next.

Pac crawls away to the ropes at the ramp side, and goes to the ramp. Trent follows after, brings Pac up, but Pac suplexes, OFF THE RAMP AND THROUGH THE TABLE!!!

Trent drops to the mat but he kicks and reaches out! Pac keeps pulling on the hold but Trent gets the ROPEBREAK! Pac lets go in frustration, and fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” But this has to end somehow, and Pac thinks on how to do that.

Pac goes outside, and he grabs the bell hammer again! He sits on the apron, Trent grabs at him, HAMMER TIME in the back suplex!! Cover, Pac wins!!

Winner: PAC, by pinfall (still AEW All-Atlantic Champion)

That’s three times Pac has used the hammer to win!! But ORANGE CASSIDY storms out to the ring! Cassidy fires off fists on Pac! Security hurries to stop him but he gets loose to get at Pac again! Fans rally for Freshly Squeezed but Pac scurries away. The Bastard still has both his belts, but if he keeps having to resort to such underhanded tactics, will he soon lose them both?

Backstage interview with The Jericho Appreciation Society.

As Chris Jericho told Tony Schiavone on commentary during Pac VS Trent, the ROH World Champion went and got Daddy Magic and Cool Hand Ange. Schiavone notes this Wednesday on Dynamite, it will be Chris Jericho VS Bryan Danielson Round 3, and it’ll be for the ROH title. There was some controversy, however, in the tag match win over Bryan Danielson & Daniel Garcia. Matt Menard says yes, that’s true. He tells Daniel Garcia, “We understand that there might come a time in a man’s life when he’s gotta leave the nest, he wants to go it alone. But we think you jumped the gun, because you ate a giant, steaming piece of HUMBLE PIE!”

Angelo Parker says, “He really did. He really did. Look, Daniel, it’s been nice seeing you go out and do your thing, right? But it’s time to come home. And don’t worry, bud, I think I can speak for everybody, man. We’re not mad. We’re just disappointed.” Jericho says yes, they are disappointed, but they’re also family. “These guys are like your two dads, and I’m like your older brother.” But sometimes, an older brother needs to teach a lesson. They taught Garcia that lesson in sports entertainment. Schiavone says, “You mean ‘systematic cheating.'” Jericho tells Schiavone not to say that. It was NOT cheating! It was a guideline on how to become a world champion.

Jericho tells Bryan now that speaking of world titles, Jericho will continue to “desecrate the legacy of Ring of Honor in Toronto,” Jericho will “pillage the legend of Bryan Danielson,” but not as The Wizard, nor the Demo God, but as the return of Lionheart Chris Jericho! Jericho will walk out of the arena in Toronto still The Ring of Jericho Champion. The Ring of Jericho Era has begun. All hail the Ocho!

Claudio Castagnoli speaks.

“Next week, when AEW makes its long awaited Canadian debut, there will be a huge ROH match in Toronto. On one side, my good friend and Blackpool Combat Club teammate, Bryan Danielson, against one of our worst enemies, Chris Jericho. Chris, don’t you think I forgot how you won that ROH World title. If Bryan Danielson wins, one of my best friends, I’ve known him for over 20 years, we’ve wrestled all over the world, and I would love to do it one more time with the ROH title on the line. But no matter who wins, I’ll be waiting to bring honor back to the ROH World Championship.” Who will the Swiss Superman be aiming for after Dynamite in Toronto?

AEW TBS Championship: Jade Cargill w/ The Baddies VS Willow Nightingale!

As the undefeated streak grows, so does the ego. #ThatBitch is 38-0 and confident she’ll reach 39, but the optimistic powerhouse wonders: what would happen if Jade’s precious streak were to end? Will Willow be “The One?” Or just another one on the long, long list?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see another chapter written in Jade’s growing legend!

The bell rings and the two tie right up. Jade powers Willow to a corner, the fans rally and the ref counts. Jade lets off and talks some trash. Willow frowns, they tie up again, and Willow powers Jade back! The ref counts, Willow lets off and she eggs Jade on. They tie up again, go around, Willow headlocks but Jade powers out. They RAM shoulders, Willow grins but Jade talks trash. They get forehead to forehead but then Jade backs up, to kick low! Jade CLUBS Willow, talks some trash, and then brings Willow up. Jade bumps Willow off buckles, EuroUppers, then snapmares Willow. Willow is right up to SHOTGUN!

Willow back body blocks, spins around to clothesline, and then she snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Willow frowns, stalks Jade to a corner, and Willow runs in but Jade elbows back! Jade runs, Willow dodges and tilt-o-whirls to then shove Jade out! The Baddies hurry to back Jade up and fix her hair, but Willow DIVES! Jade got outta there so the Baddies take the hit! Fans fire up with Willow and she storms over to ROCK Jade! Willow then wheelbarrows, but Jade SMACKS Willow off steel steps! Fans are torn but Jade talks a lot of trash as AEW goes picture in picture.

Jade drags Willow up, smacks her off the apron, then pushes her into the ring. Willow crawls, Jade takes time to flex, and Jade stalks Willow. Jade kicks Willow around, drags her up, and Jade snap suplexes! Then she kips up and fires up! Jade eggs Willow on, then she kicks Willow around. Jade EuroUppers Willow down, and Willow gets to a corner. Jade storms up, CHOKES Willow on the ropes, then lets off as the ref counts. The ref warns Jade, Willow staggers over to throw a forearm! Jade CLUBS Willow down and clamps on a chinlock. Jade leans on the hold but fans rally as Willow endures. Willow fights up, but Jade throws her down!

Jade taunts the fans cheering for Willow, then drags Willow up to chinlock again. Willow endures as Jade leans on the hold. Fans rally and Willow fights up but AEW goes to break.

BOTB 4 returns and Jade is showing off doing push-ups. Willow is in a corner, Jade dribbles but runs into a LARIAT! Willow starts rallying and fans fire up! Willow CLUBS away on Jade, whips her to ropes, but Jade reverses. Willow ducks ‘n’ dodges and then tilt-o-whirl RANAS! Jade flounders into a corner, fans fire up with Willow and she powers up to run in and CHOP! Jade sits down, Willow runs corner to corner again to CANNONBALL! Willow pushes Jade to the drop zone, goes up the corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Jade is still in this but Willow brings down the straps!

Fans fire up as Willow drags Jade up. Willow gut wrenches but Jade elbows free. Jade runs but Willow dodges the boot! Willow tilt-o-whirls again but Jade makes it a POWERSLAM! Jade fire sup, chicken wings, JADED!! Cover, Jade wins!

Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

And that is number 39! But “EXCUSE ME!!” Oh no, Vickie Guerrero is here! Vickie smiles at Jade, because Nyla Rose snatches the belt! Jade is furious but Nyla runs away with it! Literally! The Baddies pursue, but will the Native Beast hold the title hostage until she gets her own shot?

Backstage interview with Stokely Hathaway, Ethan Page and Matt Hardy.

Lexi Nair says there is a No Physicality Agreement in effect, and Hardy speaks first. “Why’re you two following me around like you’re my shadows? And why do you continue to stick your noses in my business?” Ethan says that’s done, don’t worry. We all saw what Rush did. Rush is a good boss, unlike Hardy. Rush laid down the law, he told Private Party they had to show up to work and do their jobs, and he even threatened his own employees with a lawsuit! All this contract tampering stuff- It’s NOT contract tampering! Why do they keep throwing that in his face? Stokely says Hardy doesn’t know? They have it right here! Exhibit A, Jose’s iPad!

Stokely shows us the video of Hardy talking with Private Party in 4K! Wow~! Oh, yes, they’re talking, but that’s not tampering! Hardy genuinely likes Private Party and he just wants what is best for them! Stokely points out Hardy is sweating and stuttering because he’s lying! He’s telling Duck Tales on national TV. Ethan tells Hardy to keep on lying. Hardy says if these two continue to stick their noses in his business, he will DELETE them off their faces! Oh, delete, huh? Stokely keeps Ethan back. This ain’t no copy office, talkin’ ’bout deleting. The Firm leaves, but will Hardy decide to take some executive action of his own?

Backstage interview with Hook.

Lexi Nair is with the FTW Champion, and notes that last week on Rampage, The Trustbusters presented him with an envelope. Has he looked inside? Hook holds it up. Is it open? What’s inside? Hook RIPS IT UP! Lexi can’t believe it! He doesn’t even know what’s in there, and he outright refuses!? Will the Trustbusters make the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil pay for that?

BREAKING NEWS for next Wednesday!

AEW Dynamite in Toronto is going international with an All-Atlantic Championship rematch! Orange Cassidy gets another shot against The Bastard, Pac! Will everyone be more wary of letting Pac grab the ring bell hammer this time? Will we see a Freshly Squeezed All-Atlantic Champion crowned in Canada?

Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida speak.

The Interim AEW Women’s World Champion says, “Last month, it was supposed to be and Shida against Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter, but Britt decided to take the easy way out. She attacked Shida backstage like the coward that she is. But guess who’s back? And guess who’s back for blood? Shida’s back and she’s coming to get you.” The Full Metal Warrior tells Britt, “How many times must you try to stop me? I always come back stronger. And next week, you’ll find out!” A big tag team grudge match is set, will the Storm & the Sword strike down the Doctor and the Hayter?

ROH World Tag Team Championships: FTR VS The Gates of Agony w/ Prince Nana!

When the Embassy attacked Wardlow after his AEW TNT Championship defense on Dynamite, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood made the save! Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun weren’t intimidated, and now they’re coming after one of the THREE tag team titles FTR holds. Will the Gates of Agony soon be gilded and glorious? Or will they learn to #FearTheReign?

As FTR make their entrance, the Gunn Sons, Austin & Colten, are ringside to mock them in a really bad FTR cosplay. The Ass Boys have stated they’re gonna skip FTR in line for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but are they cruisin’ for a bruisin from these tag team champions?

The introductions are made by Bobby Cruise, banged up as he is from Jericho’s attack on him. The ROH titles are raised, and Battle of the Belts 4 ends with a big finale!

The teams sort out without upholding the Code of Honor, and Kaun starts against Dax. Fans rally for FTR as Dax and Kaun circle. They tie up, go around, and Kaun’s height gives him the advantage to put Dax in a corner. The ref counts, Kaun lets off with a shove, and he resets with Dax. They tie up again, Dax wrenches, but Kaun powers out. Dax runs Kaun over, things speed up, Dax ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Kaun blocks the hip toss to LARIAT Dax down! Kaun grins and he drags Dax around. Kaun rains down fists, Dax gets away and they scrap in a corner. Dax CHOPS Kaun, CHOPS again, then EuroUppers!

Dax brings Kaun around to ROCK with a haymaker. Dax whips, Kaun reverses but Dax ducks ‘n’ dodges and slides to kick and NECKBREAKER! Fans fire up, Liona gets in but Cash backs Dax up. FTR fires off haymakers on Liona, and they send him tumbling out of the ring! Nana stops Liona from getting right back in and Liona is pissed! Dax drags Kaun up to snap suplex! Tag to Cash, and Dax gives him a boost for a LEG DROP! Cover, ONE!! Kaun is tough but Cash EuroUppers him to a corner. Cash CHOPS, fans rally for FTR and Cash EuroUppers again. Cash whips corner to corner, Kaun reverses, but Cash goes up and over to keep moving, only for Kaun to LARIAT!

Fans rally, the Ass Boys taunt FTR, but Kaun drags Cash up. Kaun CHOPS Cash, stalks him along the ropes and he tags Liona. GOA mugs Cash, Liona scoops to SLAM Cash! Liona runs to FALLING HEADBUTT! Nana taunts Cash and Liona drags Cash back to CLUB away on him. Liona digs a claw into the shoulder, but Cash fights up. Cash throws elbows but Liona HEADBUTTS him down! Liona whips to then scoop but Cash sunset flips! Liona stays up to SIT on Cash! Fans rally for Cash but Liona tags Kaun. GOA double whip Cash hard into the corner, then Liona whips Kaun in for a SPLASH! Feed to the BELLY2BELLY! Kaun covers, TWO!

Dax jumped in but the ref has him go back to his corner. Kaun drags Cash up from the apron but Cash fights the suplex! Cash HOTSHOTS Kaun, fans rally for FTR, but Liona grabs Cash. Cash fires off body shots but Liona whips Cash into railing hard! Liona then runs, but Cash dodges to send Liona into railing! Fans fire up and “Fake TR” take selfies while AEW goes picture in picture.

Cash drags himself back into the ring and he crawls for his corner. But Kaun trips Dax off the apron! Kaun gets in, Cash cradles him! TWO!! Kaun staggers away, Cash runs in but is popped up to a fireman’s carry! AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, TWO! Dax was ready again but the ref has him back down. Kaun drags Cash up to throw him out, and Kaun distracts the ref so Nana can get some stomps in! Dax storms over that way but the ref intercepts him! Dax grabs a chair but the ref gets him to put it down. Dax points out what Nana was up to but too late, Nana runs off and Liona puts Cash in the ring hard. Kaun covers, TWO!

Kaun stomps Cash against ropes, digs his boots in, then lets off as the ref counts. Kaun tags Liona, but Cash fights back! That’s still 2v1, a CHOP sits him back down. Liona drags Cash up to pie face him around. Liona soaks up heat, CHOKES Cash on the ropes, but lets off as the ref counts. Dax is pissed again, but the ref keeps him back. The ref is wary of Nana, though, so Nana stays back. Liona looms over Cash, Cash throws body shots, but Liona CLUBS Cash back down. Tag to Kaun, he stays between Cash and Dax and facelocks to grind Cash down. Cash endures, fights up, and powers up! He pushes Kaun back towards the FTR corner!

Kaun powers Cash away from the FTR corner, but Cash just powers up again! Cash is almost there, but Kaun throws him down by his hair! Kaun looms over Cash, ROCKS him with a right, then stands him up for another one! Kaun facelocks to grind Cash down again and Nana tells him to squeeze!

Fans fire up as Cash crawls his way over, but Kaun gets a foot! Cash hops, Kaun reels him in, but Cash lands out of the back suplex! Cash ducks under to hot tag Dax! Fans fire up as Dax the Ax JABS and JABS and DECKS Kaun! And DECKS him again! Liona CLOBBERS Dax! Liona whips Dax for a SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! Dax is still in this and Nana argues the count. Two is two, fans rally for FTR but Liona says thumbs down! Liona drags Dax up, prepares that thumb, but Cash grabs it! Liona shoves Cash away but Dax gets free.

FTR throws haymakers, double whips, but Liona is too big for a Big Rig!

Liona shoves Dax away but FTR goes after him with haymakers again! They shove, then try again! Liona is still too big! Liona CLUBS Dax, UPPERCUTS Cash, HEADBUTTS Dax, and roars! Liona runs, but Dax uses that for the BIG RIG!! Fans are thunderous but Kaun CLOBBERS Cash! Dax gets around, O’Conner Roll but Nana distracts! The champs would’ve won by now!! Dax swings on Nana but Nana grabs him! Kaun storms up but into a BOOT! Dax then sends Kaun into Nana! Down goes the prince, Dax backslides Kaun, FTR wins!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall (still ROH World Tag Team Champions)

But the Embassy still wants to fight! They go after FTR, Liona CHOKES Cash in a corner, and here comes Brian Cage to add on! Fans boo but now even Nana gets shots in! Cage drags Cash up while Liona HEABUTTS Dax! But “THIS IS WAAAAR~!” The AEW TNT Champion storms right in and he fires off haymakers on everyone! But that’s still 3v1! Cage and Liona are big, but Wardlow still RAMS Cage into a corner! Wardlow fires hands on Liona but even Nana gets shots in, it’s 4v1! Kaun mocks the fans cheering for Wardlow, but here comes SAMOA JOE! The ROH World TV Champion DECKS Liona, HEADBUTTS Kaun, then dodges Cage to JAB and JAB and JAB!

Joe clotheslines Cage up and out of the ring! #WARDJOE helps out FTR against the Embassy, will this one end up being some kind of 4v4 war?

My Thoughts:

A really good special here, especially for following up Rampage on a long night of wrestling. Great use of Pac closing out Rampage to have his match with Trent open this hour. Great stuff out of that match, too, but even without Pac using a hammer to tip the scales in the Trios title match, I think Pac was gonna use the hammer again here. Cassidy coming back was a nice little surprise, and we’re going to get a great rematch for Dynamite in Toronto. I was sensing Cassidy getting the belt to feud with Ethan “Anti-Comedy Gimmicks” Page, maybe that happens now? Ethan, Stokely and Hardy have a good promo to set up their own match, that should be good stuff.

Good promo from the JAS to hype up the story with Garcia and Bryan, and good promo from Claudio, as well. Jericho VS Bryan can probably go either way, but with Jericho wanting to take on all former ROH World Champions, I feel like #THEOCHO has to continue past Bryan and Claudio. Also, there are plenty of other ROH based dream matches, like Jericho VS Jay Lethal or Jericho VS Samoa Joe. Good “promo” from Hook. I figured he wasn’t going to accept anything from The Trustbusters, and now he can basically rip through the faction to power himself up more. Hook can finally have some longer matches with Daivari, Sonny Kiss, and even Slim J and “Jeeves Kay,” but he and Parker Boudreaux would definitely have a Brock Lesnar VS Goldberg type of short but hard hitting match.

Good promo from Shida & Storm to call out Britt & Hayter, that tag match will be a lot of fun. It will also be a great way to set up Storm VS Hayter for the interim title, that’s just a logical move. Jade VS Willow was great stuff, and at least Jade didn’t win with help from the Baddies. Nyla stealing the belt seemed a bit silly but I suppose she and Vickie will do whatever it takes to get Jade to accept a challenge. That match can definitely happen at Full Gear because win or lose, that’s going to be historic. Jade can go to 40-0 while still champion, or her first loss happens on a huge stage.

And of course, really good stuff out of FTR VS GOA, and even the Ass Boys cosplaying to mock FTR. There was a bit of a rough spot in the middle as I think they were all a bit tired, but they pushed through and finished it off. GOA looks strong in defeat, but of course The Embassy gives us a repeat from Dynamite. I don’t think Nana will actually compete, maybe he enlists a new faction member so we can get a big 4v4 tag.

My Score: 8.7/10
