Become Ryan’s Wrestling Pen Pal

*Fight for the Fallen is LIVE from Worcester. MA.

(1)  Jon Moxley def. Rush…retains his AEW Interim World championship…the referee is very lenient with his outside the ring counts & Rush’s use of a/v cords as choking hazards…while Jose distracts the ref, Andrade shoves Mox off the top buckle…that brings out the Lucha Brothers to chase Andrade through the crowd…Rush misses the Bull’s Horns…Mox counters with the Paradigm Shift suplex but only gets 2…Mox grabs a sleeper, transitions into the Bulldog Choke & the ref calls for the bell & the submission win when Rush goes to sleep (14:16)…AFTER…

*Chris Jericho & some of the JAS out on the stage…Anna Jay is now officially in the fold…Jericho demands his 2½ year overdue rematch for the World Title…Mox is fine with facing Jericho, but he doesn’t want the sports entertainer…he wants the Lionheart.

*AEW World Trios Championship Tournament is coming…with the finals at ALL OUT!

*Dante Martin backstage with Schiavone…he knows Sammy will have Tay Conti in his corner tonight, so Dante will have Skye Blue with him.

(2)  Ricky Starks def. Danhausen…retains his FTW Championship…Starks hits the Spear for the win (01:32)…AFTER…Starks is feeling good again & issues another open challenge…it is answered by Hook!

(3)  Hook def. Ricky Starks…to become the NEW FTW Champion…Starks hits the Spear…he gets Hook up for the Rochambeau, but Hook escapes & transitions into the redruM for the submission win (01:33)…AFTER…Starks & Hook share a respectful knuckle bump.

*Ricky Starks is still in the ring after the break, now with Schiavone & Hobbs…Starks says he made that title relevant again & he’s tired of being told to wait for “his time”…Powerhouse Hobbs drops Starks with a clothesline out of nowhere…Hobbs delivers a liver-rattling spinebuster as the segment ends.

*Acclaimed backstage promo…Friday they’re taking out the trash…aka, the Ass Boys.

(4)  Sammy Guevara def. Dante Martin…Dante misses the NoseDive…Sammy counters with a springboard moonsault cutter & follows with the GTH for the win (08:53)…AFTER…Sammy wants to deliver more punishment, but Skye Blue puts herself in harm’s way…Tay Conti gets in Skye’s face…Anna Jay races down for the blindside attack on Skye…it’s looking like a 3-on-2 beatdown until Eddie Kingston, Ortiz, & Ruby Soho make their way down to run Sammy & the ladies off.

*Daniel Garcia backstage with Schiavone…says he’s been here every week getting sharper while Bryan Danielson has been at home in his garden.

*Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, & Satnam Singh backstage…they have unfinished business with Best Friends, who are a few feet away listening…Best Friends challenge them for a fight on Rampage, but they know Sonjay is retired…Sonjay talks himself into the match & immediately regrets it.

*Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus to the ring for an interview with Schiavone…Jungle Jack calls Christian a pussy & goes after his personal life…Christian Cage interrupts from backstage via the ‘tron…he knows all Jungle Boy’s secrets & plans to prey on his weakness.

*Young Bucks backstage…Cutler tells them about the Trios Championship, but the Jacksons want nothing to do with Cutler as a teammate…Hangman Adam Page wanders by…Matt starts what sounds like it might have been an apology to their old friend, but before he can get to it the Dark Order arrive to wish Hangman a happy birthday.

(5)  Swerve Strickland def. Tony Nese & Mark Sterling…in a HANDICAP MATCH…Swerve lands a Jumping Side Kick to the head of a kneeling Sterling for the win (07:10)…AFTER… Keith Lee, who was watching from backstage (he was barred from ringside), has been laid out by ROH’s Josh Woods, who is now holding Lee’s tag title…as Swerve is seeing what happened on the ‘tron, Nese drops Swerve from behind & grabs his tag title.

*Malakai Black promo…says what Miro calls “redeeming,” he calls “balancing out the uneven”…Malakai can make sure Miro sits on the throne instead of worshiping it…Brody King says he attacked Darby Allin at a signing because he can…challenges Darby to a Coffin Match.

*Pac continues to defend the All Atlantic Championship internationally.

(6)  Thunder Rosa def. Miyu Yamashita…retains her AEW Women’s Championship…Rosa catches a kick from Yamashita & scoops her up for the Fire Thunder Driver for the win (10:26)…AFTER…the ladies share a respectful handshake.

(7)  Daniel Garcia def. Bryan Danielson…Danielson has his bell rung early & is never quite right…after a diving knee to the floor, Danielson rolls Garcia back in & follows…an arm grabs Danielson from under the ring to slow him down for just long enough to allow Garcia to grab Danielson & drop him on his head with a Piledriver…Garcia locks on the Sharpshooter & leans way back…Danielson passes out & the ref calls for the bell & the submission win for Garcia (17:10)…AFTER…Jake Hager is the man under the ring…he’s first in to congratulate Garcia…Chris Jericho leaves the announce desk to celebrate with Garcia as the show ends.
