Video Package: Jon Moxley & MJF

Post-match we see a Jon Moxley/MJF hype package with interviews with JR, Excalibur, et al. We will hear from MJF and Mox tonight! The commentators run down Draft Kings as we cut to an ad and go to commercial.

Video: Darby Allin

We see a body bag being loaded into a car in the desert as we see Darby emerge from the bag. Shown that Sting is driving. He says “Full Gear, it’s showtime.”

Backstage: Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Jeff Jarrett

We cut to Lethal and Dutt before Jarrett walks in as he cuts a short promo before running off the crew.

In-Ring: The Acclaimed

Max has a rap about Jay Leno, as Bowens hypes up the Bridgeport crowd. Billy and him scissor with the big foam scissors.

They introduce the new music video. It shows Captain Insano!! Bowens is interviewing him as we cut to a parody Swerve/Lee. They mock Lee’s promo asking about their chances and they all laugh at them. It’s completely overexaggerated before it cuts to the actual video. The entire premise is essentially mocking Lee and Swerve being sneaky, how Lee looks like Cleveland Jr, Swerve’s rap career, and more. It was extremely funny and well done, but won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

Swerve Strickland vs. Anthony Bowens

Swerve makes his way out next without Lee, and Billy Gunn immediately takes him out again! Refs run down to stop him and they send Max and Billy to the back. Swerve turns around into a big right hand before being sent into the steps. Bowens stomps his hand then rolls him into the ring. Bowens on the attack with a thrust kick and a bulldog for a one count.

He sends Bowens arm first into the barricade and he takes a nasty spill over as we go to commercial!

Back from the break, Swerve still focusing on the arm of Bowens as he is also bleeding from the mouth. Bowens sends him into the corner but Swerve again attacks the arm and hits a big PK. He goes up top but Bowens sweeps him off and hits a kick and running elbow as he tries to fire up! Bowens with heavy right hands and a shoulder tackle followed up with a series of elbows and forearms. Bowens with a big Olympic slam! 1…2…NO! He sets up for the Arrival but Swerve goes after the arm. Swerve with a roll-through brainbuster and hits a big kick for a close two! Swerve with a Penta style armbreaker that sounded disgusting. He follows up with the Swerve Stomp! 1…2….NO!!! Bowens JUST kicks out; he avoids a Swerve kick and tries a roll up but Swerve comes back with the JML Driver! 1….2….3!

WINNER: Swerve Strickland

Video Promos: Jade Cargill, Nyla Rose

We cut to a TBS Championship promo. Jade says she’s given everything and how rude it is Nyla just comes in and steals it. Nyla says she’s her wake up call in AEW and why “storm’s are named after people”, and Jade fires back.

In-Ring: Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, Wardlow

We have Tony Schiavone in the ring as he introduces Samoa Joe! Joe menacingly makes his way down as we see last week’s attack on Wardlow. Tony asks him what went down and Joe answers “It’s a pleasure to share a ring with you. You state it’s a shocker? It was unexpected?” Joe laughs “Lemme ask you, is it shocking for a man to refuse to be a victim or state a fact and take action? Wardlow ran his mouth and for that mistake he paid the ultimate price. Is that a shocker? He refuses to be a victim like these people tonight. If you or anyone else has a problem; they can take it up with me.”

Powerhouse Hobbs music hits! He says congratulations, but you’re late. He’s the one kicking Wardlow’s ass. He says “Why don’t I come down and kick yours”.

Joe taunts him and then Wardlow’s music hits!!! He doesn’t come out but comes in and takes out Joe from behind! Hobbs takes Wardlow out as the locker room clears out to separate them! Hobbs and Joe leave the ring as Wardlow wipes out security. Dark Order allows him to attack which is pretty funny and he FLIES over the ropes to take out Hobbs, Joe and security! He celebrates in the ring as we see the carnage ringside.

Backstage: Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.

We see Britt Baker backstage. “4 times you told people I am not a star, and only been here three years. I turned into the face of this company in that time. I learned as a leader you take the blame when everyone else receives the credit. I took my opportunity and ran with it, until everyone says it with me…DMD. No I didn’t wrestle MSG, but I did wrestle Daily’s Place for over a year when people couldn’t come to us we were there for them! We kept the fire burning and that’s something you’ll never know. I respect you fought addiction and your injury and paved the ground for me. But this business owes you nothing, it moved on and what you won’t do is belittle me and my blood, sweat and tears. I am the heart, soul and pulse of AEW. If you think you’re above that get the hell out.”

Fenix takes out Top Flight and PAC hits the Black Arrow! 1…2…3!

WINNERS: Death Triangle (c)

Post-match, PAC has a mic. He asks the crowd if Death Triangle is stupid or unaware? They mention the Elite videos and rumors. He says if certain people think they can make their return at Full Gear and embarrass Death Triangle, well that’s ridiculous. “You know who you are” as the crowd chants Elite. He says “Gentleman we are” as Lucha Bros say their name in Spanish.

We cut to a video of gears as a match graphic is show as The Elite fades into the graphic showcasing an Elite vs. Death Triangle match! PAC says “We’ve been waiting for you.”

In-Ring: Jon Moxley, MJF

WILD THING! Jon Moxley makes his way through the crowd accompanied by William Regal, looking even more manic and fired up as usual before coolly making his way down to the ring. He soaks in the adoration of the fans and steps into the ring. Mox thanks Justin Roberts for the intro and confirms he is the champion. He says the man makes the champ; so who is Moxley? He is the best pro wrestler, I’ve taken on all comers, and defined the AEW World Championship. He says don’t admire that I fight, he has a sick mind. Being in wars, and pain and violence he loves it and literally doesn’t care about getting hurt. He asks so who is MJF? He says he found out MJF is a good singer, he has one win in the ring in 6 months. He took a vacation like Pillman and came back for the worst ending to a ladder match he’s ever seen and now he’s challenging me.” Mox says he isn’t shaking in his boots; he sees MJF dripping with insecurity, a kid playing wrestler and a kid afraid he won’t live up to the hype. He says you’ll see something special and that’s Mox challenging MJF to show him the guts and balls and why everyone thinks he’s the future.

Stokely comes down the ramp as Lee tries to attack Mox but Lee gets sent out. The Firm attack Moxley and Regal.

MJF’s MUSIC HITS! He takes out the Gunn Club, takes out Lee, and low blows W. Morrissey! Page takes out Morrissey accidentally then MJF takes out Page! He says “Get out of CT before I take my boot off and shove it up your ass.” He turns his attention to Mox and says “I don’t want any excuses from you or your piss ant fans when I knock you out. No diamond ring, isn’t that right Will? When I got in this business, I wanted to be the best. I know I am in the fight for my life, but know I ain’t the same kid as when we first fought. You can dump me on my head, make me bleed, pop my ligaments but I won’t stop because I need that belt more than I need food, water or oxygen. When you hold the title, it makes you the best and it’s MY TIME! I heard you when you said I wasn’t the Devil; the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist. You’ll find out at Full Gear because I am Maxwell Jacob Friedman” Mox stops him and says “I never saw the appeal anyways, if you’ve got the heart we’ll see or I’ll pull it out of you. Full Gear, the training wheels come off.” Hilariously, Mox says both Saturday and Sunday for the PPV. They both stare each other down with Regal in the middle as Mox and Regal taunt MJF and walk off as we go off the air.
