Thekla is carried through the crowd on a giant Spider, which was pretty damn cool, not going to lie. Renee Paquette is ringside, as she said Mone told her that she cleansed her life of all things toxic and will guarantee she retains her gold tonight. Thekla wastes no time targeting the injured face of Mone, who quickly sinks in the Statement Maker, but Thekla spider walks her way free. Thekla mocks Mone with a spider pose in the ropes, as Mone missed a charge to the outside, as Thekla is right out after, sending Mone into the barricade. She calls the crowd dumb b*tches and they all cheer, as she hit a high cross back inside for a near fall. Back to the spider walk, only this time, Mone was ready, picks Thekla up into a nasty lungblower. First Meteora of the night led to a series of near falls for Mone, as she mocks Thekla with a little shimmy, with the crowd loudly dueling chants. Romero Special applied, as Mone kicked her off and couldn’t believe she only got a two out of that.
Mone took way too long to follow-up, charging into a corner boot and spider head scissors choke in the ropes. Thekla wanted a Black Widow submission, Mone countered, tried another lungblower, but Thekla countered sending Mone in the ropes, following with a big boot. Thekla tried another on the apron, but Mone was there with another lungblower, only to whiff on a Meteora. Double stomp to the spine by Thekla, who shimmies and mocks the Big D Mone pose. Excalibur took the high road saying Big D stood for Big Defense. Back inside, both ladies fight up the ropes, where Thekla dropped down and hit her Spider Suplex before hitting another double stomp to the back. Spider Walk once more, as Thekla hit her Spear, with both ladies smashing onto one another like trucks. Mone blocked a kick and hit a knee lift, until the sunset bomb into the corner leads to Meteora #2. That’s followed by Meteora #3 off the ropes for a near fall for the champ.
Thekla rolled through the Mone Maker into a Death Trap submission, but Mone just got the rope break. Curb Stomp by Thekla, as she took an obscene amount of time making sure she grabbed every body part except the one leg closest to the ropes. Mone kicks free to the apron, takes her face mask off, while Thekla shoved referee Stephon Smith aside. Mone decked Thekla with her mask, tried Mone Maker, Thekla spun out into an O’Connor Roll for a crazy close two. Thekla missed a Curb Stomp, allowing Mone to hit Mone Maker to successfully retain a fun one.
Winner: Mercedes Mone via Pinfall to retain the AEW Women’s World Championship.
Nick Wayne vs. Chris Jericho
.@IAmJericho came prepared! 👏 Watch #AEWWrestleDream LIVE on PPV! https://t.co/8NilIG5qyj
— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) October 18, 2026
Arkady Aura tells the crowd they need to stand and show respect to the 21-year old Prodigy, Nick Wayne, who has updated music and tron tonight. Jericho beat the hell out of Wayne on the outside to start, even nearly throwing him over the barricade into the front row. Wayne fought back, brought out the steps, only Jericho planted him with a Death Valley Driver onto them, I think just narrowly missing the edge of the steps (if this was Darby Allin, we know how he’d take that bump). Jericho brought Wayne up the ropes back inside, Wayne threw Jericho to the floor into the camera man, allowing Wayne to hit a massive moonsault to the floor. Leaping spinning uppercut back inside by Wayne, as Wight said he has leather jackets in his closet older than Wayne. Jericho swept out the leg and we get a slugfest back to their feet. Both trade boots, until Wayne misses a handspring and Jericho turned him inside out with a lariat. Wayne tried Wayne’s World, but leapt right into a Code Breaker for the reset.
Both trade chops, as Wayne tried a snap Stunner, only Jericho countered into a brainbuster. Jericho went for the Lionsault, but had his legs superkicked out and hung up. Wayne tried a Swanton off the top, only to crash and burn, rolling outside, where Jericho hit a top rope cross body to the floor. Taking too long to follow-up back inside, Jericho got crotched in the corner, as Wayne hit 9 punches, thrusted into Jericho’s face, so he took a powerbomb out of the corner for doing so. Jericho sank in the Walls of Jericho, but Wayne narrowly got the ropes, rolled to the floor for some water. Wayne misted Jericho (Excalibur said that wasn’t water, Wight said it was salt water for electrolytes, Schiavone thought diluted alcohol) and hit a standing Sliced Bread on the apron. Back inside, 450 Splash connects for a near fall, as Wayne’s World was avoided, but a springing Cutter off the second rope hit, only Jericho was out at 1.
Back to the Walls of Jericho, as Wayne rolled out, Jericho slingshot him into the corner, tried for rolling German’s, but Wayne grabbed referee Bryce’s belt, spun him around and mule kicked Jericho, who no sold. Wayne shoved Bryce away again, kicked Jericho low and again, he no sold and pulled out a cup. Jericho started hitting Wayne with the cup, Bryce took it away, went to get rid of it, Jericho hit a low blow of his own, went for a Judas Effect, only Wayne collapsed. Jericho went to pick him up, but Wayne got a cradle for the flash pin.
Winner: Nick Wayne via Pinfall.
Post-match, Wayne took the mic and reminded us “Nick Wayne Beat Chris Jericho” as right on cue, pyro went off at that statement. Jericho was left with a smirk on his face, as Wayne celebrated up the ramp.
AEW World Tag Team Championship
Don Callis Family (Kyle Fletcher & “The Jet” Kevin Knight) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) (c)
A costly mistake by Fletcher and “The Jet”! 😬 Watch #AEWWrestleDream LIVE on PPV! https://t.co/erPAaqbrFH
— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) October 18, 2026
The story at the early stages of this one saw Knight & Fletcher get the best of Nick & Matt respectively, as they were ready to out maneuver The Bucks, taking pages out of their playbook, including the somersault neckbreaker/backbreaker and stereo corner splashes into double bulldogs, hitting The Bucks pose. Matt fought his way free from the wrong corner, took out Knight with a cross body off the apron, as Nick tagged in with a high cross on both. Matt with a quick blind tag, as Nick hit a pop-up dropkick, sending Fletcher & Knight reeling to the floor. Assisted springboard moonsault onto both outside, as Callis sprinted through to crowd to get the hell away from Nick Jackson, who stood tall on the commentary table.
Series of standing switches back inside, led to the sunset flip/German combo on Fletcher, as Knight flew in with a massive springboard lariat onto Matt. Lucha Libre attempted arm-drag by Nick, which is blocked into a Doomsday Device that had Knight hit a standing dropkick on the mat, wildly athletic. Nick was thrown outside, allowing Callis to choke him out with his headset. Nick remained isolated, until Fletcher took a PK off the apron, slingshot facebuster onto Knight, moonsault into a twisting DDT back on Fletcher outside to complete the crazy combo. Matt made the hot tag back inside, running wild, launching off Knight to hit Fletcher with a Sliced Bread. Rolling Northern Lights on Knight, who blocked a third, blind tag by Fletcher, as Matt still dished out Rolling Northern Lights aplenty. MMMBop Drop on Fletcher into a rolling backstabber on Knight for two, as The Bucks want a Meltzer Driver, which Fletcher escapes into a huge Michinoku Driver for two of his own.
Knight tags in, Matt fights off both momentarily, as they try to repeat the Doomsday Device spot and instead, we get a Chicken Fight ending into double Poison Ranas. Crazy series of blocks and kicks leave Matt & Knight down, as Fletcher & Nick charge and Nick hits a Destroyer while both men were launching off their partners backs for the full reset. Knight & Nick have a fast sequence ending in a high Nick dropkick, as Matt tags in, pump fakes into a DDT. Fletcher in, Half and Half onto Matt, as Nick blind tags, crotches Fletcher, as The Bucks hit a double jump hurricanrana on Fletcher before a double superkick on Knight. The Bucks took too long going up top, allowing Knight to hit a standing hurricanrana on Matt, while Fletcher tried an Avalanche Brainbuster on Nick, who countered into an Avalanche Poison Rana. Knight flew in with a UFO Splash, as Nick rolled to the ropes before a cover could be made to the chants of “Fight Forever.”
Nick spikes Knight with a German on the apron, Fletcher pops him with a superkick, missed a Brainbuster, as Matt flies in with the See You in Hell DDT on the edge of the apron. The Bucks try a Meltzer Driver off the barricade on Knight, who slid out and hit a standing hurricanrana on Nick. Knight ran across the announce desk for a lariat, but got superkicked in mid-air by Matt, as Nick ran the desks and get a Meltzer Driver on the floor. Fletcher fought back inside, as Nick countered a Brainbuster into a snap hurricanrana pin for two. Matt returned and The Bucks hit a BTE Trigger, only Fletcher kicked out. Fletcher avoided More Bang for Your Buck, crotching Matt in the corner and lawn darting Nick into his brother, as Knight flew in with Coast to Coast. Sheer Drop Brainbuster by Fletcher spikes Matt, but again, only two, as the crowd are going nuts. Flying corner kick onto Matt, as Fletcher hits the Tope Rope Brainbuster, Knight follows with a UFO Splash, but Nick tackled Knight to break the count.
Fletcher with a Half and Half on Matt, Knight steals a tag from his partner and now all of a sudden, we get bickering teammates. Knight misses another Coast to Coast, getting superkicked in mid-air. Fletcher with Half and Half on both Bucks, who answer with a Superkick Party. The Bucks want another BTE Trigger, but Knight flies off the top with a springboard lariat, only hitting Fletcher. The Bucks hit BTE Trigger on Knight, the legal man, to get the pin in a thriller.
Winner: The Young Bucks via Pinfall to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Post-match, The Bucks celebrated up the ramp, Nick told the camera “I don’t know how many of those I have left, Tony.”

Nigel McGuinness & Justin Roberts tags in for Paul Wight & Arkady Aura respectively going forward
Bell sounds and Persephone foolishly trash talks all three challengers, so we get a wild series of near falls out the gate. Persephone hits a series of Judo throws, opts to pose and everyone regroups and she gets ping ponged as a result. Teammates on Wednesday, opponents tonight, Luna uses her power to flatten Hyan and rag doll her with a suplex and sliding lariat for two. Aminata in with a Chocolate Kisses to Luna, as the fight goes to the outside, where she places Luna on a chair. Aminata plays to the crowd too long, as Hyan clips her on the apron and brings her back in with chops and stiff back elbow. Persephone sneaks in to get a few pin attempts in, until Hyan runs into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Persephone matrix’s out of a charging Luna and hits a Fall-Away Slam and bridging German for two. Stiff slugfest with Aminata & Persephone, who couldn’t get a powerbomb, as both were met by a Hyan Spear, as was Luna, who was leaping out of the corner. Persephone took another Spear on the outside, but Hyan focused too much on her, as Luna German suplexed Hyan from the apron back into the ring.
Aminata popped Luna with a huge standing headbutt and double stomp off the top, but Persephone flew in with a shotgun dropkick for the reset. Luna & Persephone brawl on the apron, as Hyan breaks it up, Luna holds on, Aminata headbutts Luna and Hyan suplexes her on the floor. Hyan is placed on the chair and Aminata gets her dropkick off the apron. Aminata was posted by Persephone, who played to the crowd too long, allowing Aminata to hit a rolling neckbreaker and Off with Her Head back inside, but Hyan just broke the count. Butterfly suplex connects on Aminata, as Hyan hits a running knee in the corner and does the deal with a Falcon Arrow for two. Persephone cuts off a Dragon Suplex into a release German on Hyan, as Luna returns, uses Hyan as a battering ram on Persephone before picking both up with a Samoan Drop/Fall Away Slam combo. Slingshot Blue Thunder Bomb on Aminata, as Hyan & Luna start slugging it out with stiff shots. Pump kick connects by Hyan, who hit a Glam Slam, until Persephone flies in off camera and seemed to moonsault onto both ladies ankles, a rough landing. Front face slam to Hyan, as Persephone hit a much better looking moonsault on Hyan to get the victory.
Winner: Persephone via Pinfall to retain the TBS Championship.
Post-match, Dr. Britt Baker DMD celebrated with Persephone up the ramp.
AEW National Championship
Tommaso Ciampa vs. Andrade El Idolo (c)
Andrade gives Ciampa a taste of his own medicine, but “The Psycho Killer” survives! 😱 Watch #AEWWrestleDream LIVE on PPV! https://t.co/YoS800uMNG
— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) October 18, 2026
They put an International Title graphic up during Andrade’s entrance, as the crowd immediately chanted for him to take his pants off, but not quite yet. Each man tries a home run shot out the gate, leading to an early stalemate. High cross by Andrade, as Ciampa gets clotheslined over the top to the outside. Andrade takes his belt off to toy with the fans, allowing Ciampa to blindside him back in the ring. Ciampa chucked Andrade outside, but baited Ciampa to the ropes, swept him to the floor and hit the Three Amigos. Back inside, Andrade hits a wildly impressive spinning split-legged moonsault for a near fall. Ciampa rolls outside, in position for Andrade to hit his Tornillo. Tradition continues, as Andrade snaps a selfie with a lovely female fan, but nearly takes Willow’s Bell back inside. Andrade did his pose in the ropes, but Ciampa was having none of that, hitting a charging knee and patting himself on the back.
Ciampa repeatedly drove Andrade into barricades before walking over to his daughter, Willow, taking a selfie with her, kissing his wife as well. Back inside, Ciampa continued to wear Andrade down and hit almost a ripcord straightjacket slam. Referee Aubrey had to back Ciampa out of the corner, as he brought Andrade up in the ropes for an Avalanche Air Raid Crash, but Andrade slipped out, nearly pants Ciampa, who broke free and hit a running knee strike. Ciampa took his trunks off (threw them at the commentary table) to reveal another pair that read ‘I Just Know’. That delay allowed Andrade to explode up into a flying forearm, but took so long (and failed) to get his britches off, that Ciampa hit a running knee with Andrade’s pants around his ankles (invest in Velcro, Andrade!). Being placed in the corner, pants still around his ankles, Andrade fought free and somehow hit his double jump moonsault for two.
Finally, the pants are officially off, as Andrade looked for an Avalanche Air Raid of his own, Ciampa slid out, tried a powerbomb, Andrade landed on his feet and hit multiple running double knees for another two. Ciampa sent Andrade crashing outside, went over to the pants, slammed them down, put the boots to them and hit a double knee, covering the pants, ordering Aubrey to make the count 1…2…Kick Out! We got a false finish with pants. Andrade flew back in with Dia De Los Muertos for a super close two. Andrade wanted another double knee, but Ciampa popped up with a Busiaku Knee for two. Knee pad lowered, as Ciampa missed a charge, each trade roll-ups, exchange standing clotheslines and collapse. Slugfest back to their feet, they exchange Project Ciampa & DM attempts, until Andrade hits Dia De Los Muertos again, only Ciampa rolled outside.
Andrade takes forever to figure out what to do next, tries a moonsault off the middle rope, rolls through, as Ciampa shoves Andrade into the grip and also camera man. He quickly throws Andrade back into the ring and hits the running knee, but only gets two. Ciampa went to bring the National Title into the ring, argues with Aubrey before throwing it down. Ciampa switches to a chair and gets caught red handed. As she went to take it away, Ciampa tries to do the same finish as on Dynamite, but Andrade hit Willow’s Bell onto the belt before connecting with The DM for the victory.
Winner: Andrade El Idolo via Pinfall to retain the AEW National Championship.
AEW World Trios Championship 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Match

No love lost between Swerve and Hangman… Watch #AEWWrestleDream LIVE on PPV! https://t.co/HKvjgc8fsY
— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) October 18, 2026
Very evenly paced back and forth with Bandido & Creed, allowing the crowd to have dueling chants to start. Creed barks at King, as Strickland & Kofi come in with locomotion springboard splashes for a near fall, as Kofi takes over. Bandido answers with a stalling vertical suplex, as Page tags in and he immediately hits a Fall Away Slam, teased a dive, but got tripped by Strickland and the all-out brawl is on. Strickland is launched over the timekeepers table, as King starts throwing bombs on Creed & Kofi and had to be calmed by Bandido & Page. King shoved Page, but settled down, as they all hit locomotion corner splashes back inside on Kofi. Misdirect Hot Shot/Back Suplex/Running Shooting Star/Electric Chair Splash/Senton combo by the challengers for a near fall. Kofi answers with a double jump moonsault and tags in Creed, who runs wild. Step-through Tornado DDT from the apron back inside on Bandido, shotgun dropkick to follow, as Strickland tags in for a rolling suplex for two. Huge pop-up spinning DDT by Bandido, blind tag by Kofi, as Creed gets a cazadora/guillotine leg drop connects for two. Kofi landed almost completely onto the neck on Bandido, that spot was scary. Midnight Hour connects and Bandido gets pinned.
Score: Swerve Strickland & The New Level – 1 Fall, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly – 0 Falls.
Strickland flies in with a Swerve Stomp for two, as Page breaks it up and referee Rick Knox separates the two. That lasts about a couple seconds, as Bandido rolls to legally tag in Page and it’s back to a full-blown slugfest before both collide with double clotheslines, pop-up and slug it out again. Strickland slid out of a big boot into a backbreaker, went for House Call, but took a huge lariat. Strickland avoided a Buckshot, but not the Dead Eye, only Kofi & Creed pulled Strickland to safety. Kofi leapt off the top, rolled through, but was turned inside out with a Page lariat, allowing King to make the hot tag. Match starts breaking down, as everyone flies in with high impact moves, as Kofi misses Trouble in Paradise, gets planted with Dead Eye. Creed spiked with a release German by King, as Kofi is overhead thrown onto Strickland in the corner. Bandido tags in, King ran under a flying Strickland to hit New Level with a corner cannonball, as Strickland took a Buckshot Lariat. Wild monkey flip 450 Splash on Creed connects to allow the challengers to even it up.
Score: Swerve Strickland & The New Level – 1 Fall, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly – 1 Fall.
Page connects with an Orihara Moonsault on Strickland, as King picked up New Level for Bandido to hit a huge somersault dive off the post. Strickland is thrown over the barricade, as Creed is held by King over the barricade, but before Page could jump, Strickland reappeared and hit a hurricanrana off the barricade. Standing curb stomp by Kofi, as Bandido was hung up on the barricade by Creed & Strickland, as Kofi hit a double stomp, as back inside, rope walk elbow off the top by Creed connects for two. The champs all get sent to the outside by King, who takes all of them out with a Tope Suicida. Page up top again, clipping Creed just enough, as Bandido lands a Shooting Star Press flush for two. X-Knee connects, as Page & Bandido hit a Buckshot German for two, as Strickland flew in with a double stomp to break the count. Page & Strickland rise for their teams and are right back to slugging it out, until Strickland side-steps and Page decks King. Rolling Flatliner by Strickland connects and we’re at a full reset.
Strickland tries a Swerve Stomp on Bandido, but Page made the save. Kofi up on the apron to fight off Page, who hit Dead Eye, only Strickland flew in with a Swerve Stomp to the face. Creed tries chopping King and got nothing but barks in return, so he slapped King in the face and Creed got his clock cleaned as a result. Both fight up in the corner, as Kofi it brought up with his partner and King wants to superplex The New Level, but Strickland made the save, somehow hitting King with a Vertebreaker. Bandido flew in with a springboard Poison Rana, goes up top and we get an utterly insane double Revolution Fly to the New Level. Strickland takes X-Knee, goes for 21-Plex, Strickland flips out to his feet, goes for Big Pressure, only Bandido rolls out and gets a flash pin to re-gain the titles.
Winner: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly via 2 Falls to 1 Fall to become the new AEW World Trios Champions.
Post-match, Strickland & New Level rip the titles away from Rick Knox, Strickland telling Creed & Kofi that Page & Brodido don’t deserve them, but New Level hands Brodido the titles, shake hands and hug. Strickland keeps staring down Page, holds the title up and drops it just as Page went to grab it.

.@DUNKZILLADavis finds a way to escape! Watch #AEWWrestleDream LIVE on PPV! https://t.co/paaoFWEnNR
— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) October 18, 2026
Renee Paquette said Death Riders have been grieving in real time the last 3 weeks and no one has carried the brunt of that load more so than Moxley. She said just because someone is strong enough to carry something, doesn’t mean it’s not heavy on them. Moxley was hyped up by his crew, as they did their huddle as a towel in PAC’s memory was draped on a railing next to them.
Davis used his power early to control the action, not budging at everything Moxley threw his way. Until Moxley started daring Davis to throw with him, did Moxley have success in the striking. That success was brief, Davis responded with multiple lunging corner sliding elbows, as Moxley is bleeding a gusher from the side of his head, with Davis hitting another elbow for two. The blood is staining the ring ropes, as Davis slaps on a rear naked choke, but Moxley escaped, with Excalibur pointing out the blood might’ve helped Moxley slip out. Moxley slowly starts fighting up, as Davis keeps throwing forearms and punches in bunches before biting at the wound getting the exact chants from fans as you’d expect after doing such a thing. Davis soaked in the chants, but ultimately got dumped outside, where Moxley hit a Tope Suicida. Back inside, multiple corner lariats dished out, corner punches connect and Moxley gets his receipt by biting the noggin of Davis.
Huge clotheslines deck Davis, who doesn’t go down, but does after a flash Cutter. La Magistral into a cross-arm-breaker, but Davis fought to a rope break. Moxley went for more corner punches, Davis slid out, hit a flipping flapjack and sliding forearm for two. Davis with a crazy falling lariat got another near fall. Davis takes Moxley to the apron and hits a violent and scary sit-out piledriver on the edge of the ring. Moxley somehow broke the count at 9.999, but rolled right into a Davis enzugiri, that sent Moxley back outside, visibly frustrated. Referee Paul Turner is giving Moxley time to recover, as Excalibur questions if Moxley is giving up? Marina Shafir & Daniel Garcia appear in the front row, trying to hype him up. Schiavone reminds us Continental Rules, they can’t come over the barricade. Turner, I guess just didn’t count as this was going on, so Moxley got back in the ring and took out Davis with a Curb Stomp. Shafir & Garcia left celebrating that Moxley got himself back into this.
This got the crowd loudly behind Moxley, as a slugfest ensues, until Moxley ramps up headbutts. Davis hit a shotgun dropkick, but Moxley explodes up with a King Kong Lariat. Back and forth forearms, as Moxley dares Davis to hit him, Davis obliges, but Moxley doesn’t go down initially, eventually collapsing. They trade Rear Naked Chokes, Moxley transitions to the Bulldog, as Davis powers up, Moxley piggy backs, so Davis cannonballs them both to the corner. Davis wants another apron piledriver, Moxley slid out, Davis charges and posts himself, busting himself open in the process. Moxley hits another Tope Suicida, as Moxley elbows at the cut. Back inside, Moxley rolls through a dive, gets waffled with a lariat to the back of the neck and dropped with a deadlift German. Moxley spins out of a bounce back lariat attempt into a Death Rider for two. Moxley ramps up a combo of punches and headbutts, but Davis swung for the fences for a home run lariat. Davis wanted his piledriver, but Moxley briefly got a Brutalizer to a huge pop. Moxley transitioned to a Bulldog, then Rear Naked, only Davis powered up. Moxley repositions, Davis gave one last scream, but ultimately passed out.
Winner: Jon Moxley via Referee Stoppage to retain the AEW Continental Championship.
Post-match, Death Riders sprint out to celebrate, as Moxley slams a chair into the steps repeatedly before collapsing at the feet of his crew. Moxley was almost in tears as he paced around ringside before heading to the back in a wildly emotional match.
AEW World Championship Clockwork Carnage Match
Samoa Joe vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey vs. Adam Copeland vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada vs. Ricochet vs. Darby Allin vs. Will Ospreay (c)
EVERY SECOND COUNTS! 🔥 The clock is ticking down, and the battle for the final pin has turned into PURE DESPERATION! Watch #AEWWrestleDream LIVE on PPV! https://t.co/7v0HJlZUpa
— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) October 18, 2026
Will Ospreay & Konosuke Takeshita are the first two entrants and they waste no time going at it with forearms. Ospreay hits a head of steam hurricanrana sending Takeshtia outside with a slingshot cross body to follow. Quickly back inside, handspring corkscrew kick turns Takeshita inside out for two. Series of flash reversals lead to a Takeshita-line and it’s Takeshita who responds with a somersault dive. Speedball Mike Bailey is out next, hits a snap hurricanrana, but Takeshita waffled him with a forearm to the outside. Ospreay tried a charge, but was turned into a mannequin via Takeshita big boot. United Empire duo double team Takeshita with a standing Sky Twister Press, standing Shooting Star, causing Takeshita to take a powder and force the stablemates to go at it. McGuinness said there’s no reason to go at it right now, as Takeshita returns and mows them both other. Ricochet runs out and tries to talk Takeshita into teaming up and he does, until about 20 seconds later, got rolled up by Ricochet, who got bipped as a result. Head scissors into a dropkick, as Ricochet takes out Ospreay with a Fosbury Flop, does a PAC inspired flip to the opposing side against Bailey, hits a springboard cross body, until Takeshita returns and waffles him with a forearm. Ospreay & Bailey fight with Takeshita up in the ropes, where Takeshita hit a double superplex, but Ricochet hit a 450 Splash on him for two.
Darby Allin is next, cracks Ricochet in the ribs with his skateboard before setting up a table ringside. Avalanche Code Red back inside followed by a Code Red proper on Ricochet for two, as Takeshita took a Coffin Drop on the floor. Butcher tribute knee walk before Allin tried a low Tope, but Takeshita hit a pump knee in mid-air. Ospreay missed OsCutter back inside, settled for Stundog Millionaire, wall walk enzugiri on Takeshita, as Kazuchika Okada is next, who does his full entrance with pyro. Picking up where they left off in France, Ospreay took a flapjack, Allin was dropkicked out of the corner to the floor, as Bailey missed a thrust kick and Okada flipped him off. Bailey put on the brakes during an Okada dropkick and flipped him off before taking out Ricochet with a Triangle Moonsault. Takeshita tried to backslide Okada, Bailey stopped it foolishly, but it was to try and stack both men up for two near falls. Straightjacket pin on Okada gets two, as Okada whiffed on a Rainmaker, Takeshita popped Bailey with a pump boot, Bailey answered with a Collision Course, but as Bailey made a cover, Takeshita rolled through into a Wheelbarrow German. Bailey went for Time Adventure, but spun into a Blue Thunder Bomb and Raging Fire to eliminate Bailey.
First Elimination: “Speedball” Mike Bailey via Pinfall.
Adam Copeland is next and the crowd sings his entrance as he goes at it with Takeshita & Ricochet, who he sets up for a Spear, but runs right into the corner. Ricochet hit a pump knee, tried a Shooting Star, but Copeland got the knees up. Takeshita pops Copeland with a forearm, looks for a Power Drive Knee, but the bottom dropped out by Copeland, who tried a Spear, running into a Blue Thunder Bomb. Okada saved Copeland to hit Takeshita with a Rainmaker and eliminate him with a huge smile on his face.
Second Elimination: Konosuke Takeshita via Pinfall.
Ospreay flew in with an OsCutter to get two, as Allin hit a snap Code Red for a close two, Ricochet spiked Allin with Vertigo, but also only got a near fall. Samoa Joe is the final entrant, as the 15-minute timer has begun, right as Ricochet tried a Tope, but Joe did his walk away hilariously. Snap powerslam spiked Ospreay, uppercut headbutt to Allin, who took a senton to his injured knee. Muscle Buster plants Allin and Joe gets a pinfall (Samoa Joe earns 1 point).
Score: Samoa Joe – 1 point, Will Ospreay – 0 points, Ricochet – 0 points, Darby Allin – 0 points, Kazuchika Okada – 0 points, Adam Copeland – 0 points.
Right as Joe hit a Tope on Ospreay, Ricochet pinned Allin as well (Ricochet earns 1 point).
