Earlier today, Lance Archer says he looked up to Sting. Everybody has. Without Sting, there is no Lance Archer. Does he know why he interrupted his time? Because that’s supposed to his time. People are going to be remembering his name and assures Sting that soon it is gonna be “showtime.”
Britt isn’t pleased with the reaction she gets from Jacksonville. Thunder Rosa should forever be thanking her for the history she got to be a part of. She had the audacity to stand here in her company, her division, and say that she put them on the map. She doesn’t need adulation. She calls out Mick Foley and says thanks for the thumbs up, but it took him 20 years to become a Hardcore Legend. She did it in one night. She says Tony Khan is always searching for legends when he has one right here. The letters AEW pale in comparison to the three biggest letters in pro wrestling: “DMD.”
Christian is chatting with Dante Martin and The Varsity Blonds. Dasha approaches him and he says he’s giving a few tag team advice. In enters a patronizing Kazarian. Very aggressive. He asks when the “work” part of “Out Work Everyone” is gonna happen. Christian Cage says next week and he doesn’t have an opponent. How about you, Frankie? Kaz accepts and invites him to watch Elevation next week.
FTR & Shawn Spears (with Tully Blanchard) vs. The Varsity Blonds & Dante Martin

They show chemistry before Spears tags in Dax and begins taking it to Brian. Pillman fights off Spears and Dax. Blind tag to Dante who does a moonsault and lands on his feet! Impressive. Spear by Griff to both men. The three faces go to dive on top but all of Pinnacle is waiting on the outside. That stops them and we go to break.
Back from break, Dax hits a brainbuster on Dante. Spears hits a C4 DVD for the victory.
WINNERS: Pinnacle
Pinnacle takes it to Pillman post-match. Cash gets on the mic and says Pinnacle is his family. Dax forces Tony to hold the mic and he talks trash to Santana & Ortiz. This ain’t no rom-com. He’s all for his Pinnacle family. MJF begins to run down Jericho and challenges them to come out. Schiavone takes exception but MJF forces him into silence.
Team Taz is backstage and Taz makes certain that all is clear between them. Cage actually apologized to Team Taz and apologized to Ricky Starks for singling him out last week. Cage doesn’t exactly look on the same page with them although everybody says that they are (Ricky says “absolutely”). Cage just says “Who betta?”
Tony Schiavone is standing with QT Marshall. He knows he’s called Cody’s friend and sure it does come with perks, but he works his ass off. Fans soon start chanting “Cody’s Friend.” He says he is, but he issues a challenge to Cody next week. He doesn’t have any control of what can happen but he can control what he can do. He doesn’t want to take any unnecessary bumps, but if he has to prove himself against Cody. Outcomes Rhode in a sling. He will accommodate QT. He will take him on and he’ll even appoint Arn as a referee. He does make one thing clear: he won’t hurt him. Friend to friend. QT thanks him, that’s all he wanted.

Post-match, Kenny comes charging out and attacks LK. Kenny cuts a promo stating that he recalls all these men at Fyter Fest. He recalls three years ago when he called these men his family. He had a choice. Where did he choose? He never chose AEW. He chose The Young Bucks. He chose to make this the best wrestling promotion on the planet. Rather than sit with the cool kids, they chose Brandon Cutler. They never chose him. Kenny will give The Bucks one more chance. He wants them to toss up a “Too Sweet.” It’s now or never. The Young Bucks walk away and Kenny says “we are done!” The Lucha Bros. Superkick Kenny. Don Callis walks out cowardly as Kenny lays out with a bloody mouth. The Good Brothers come out to tend to Kenny.
Jade Cargill calls out Red Velvet that she’s just a pit stop on her journey. She’s gonna get mixed up with “That Bitch!”
Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley are in a dressing room. Eddie has a broken “something” on his left foot. Eddie isn’t pleased and Mox asks if The Good Brothers are ready to get blood under their fingernails like they are. Mox doesn’t know The Young Bucks, but he guesses after last week he owes them one. He doesn’t like owing anybody anything, but they better be willing to get their hands dirty.
Nyla Rose (with Vickie Guerrero) vs. Tay Conti
Rose immediately goes on the attack when the bell rings. Big bodyslam by Rose. Tay, however, gets her in an octopus stretch that she sits down on. Roll up for a pin attempt. Nyla charges but Tay avoids and Judo throws her several times. Nyla powers her down for a two-count. She wrenches the arm of Tay and Vickie loves it.
