House of Black’s Malakai Black and Brody King came out and made their way to the ring. Cage responded to House of Black showing up to interrupt him and made fun of King for looking like Jelly Roll and HoB not being a trio anymore due to what they did to Matthews. Cage stated that as far as he is concerned, any notion of them being a contender is null and void. After some more words, Cage stated that perhaps Malakai is out here for some fatherly advice and brought up how the Patriarchy walked through the Bang Bang Gang a couple weeks ago. After some insults, Cage asked HoB what they were thinking coming out here. Black responded stating he was thinking of this …
This led to the lights going out again and when they came back on, Matthews was in ring ring standing alongside Black and King. The Patriarchy then ran out of the ring and tried to escape only to get cut off by the Bang Bang Gang and Kip Sabian. All of the Patriarchy except for Wayne managed to escape through the crowd while Wayne was left all by himself to get a beat down by HoB. Black then grabbed one of the AEW Trios titles only for Juice Robinson to get in the ring and grabbed onto the belt as well leading to a staredown between HoB and Bang Bang Gang.
Buddy Matthews is BACK!
