                    Cody and Janela shook hands before the match. Janela and Cody exchanged chops in the early part of the match. Janela took the advantage with a splash in the corner. Cody evaded a second splash, but Janela tossed him throat first over the second rope. When action spilled to the outside, they slammed each other’s head into the ramp. Cody hit a disaster kick on the outside ramp and followed that with a moonsault off the ramp. Back in the ring, Janela hit a superkick and a flying elbow smash for the near fall.

                    When Janela climbed back up to the top rope, Cody greeted him and used a reverse suplex for a near fall of his own. Cody went for another disaster kick, but Janela caught him and transitioned directly into a German suplex.

                    Janela and Cody stood in the center of the ring trading big fists and elbows with Janela getting the clear advantage. When Janela tried to hit the ropes, Cody grabbed him right into the Cross Rhodes for the pinfall victory.

                    Kazarian cinched in a side headlock that Moxley escaped into a hammerlock. Eventually Moxley trapped Kazarian in the corner and brought him back to the center of the ring where he connected with a back breaker. Frankie hit a couple of moves, but Moxley flipped him over the top rope where Kazarian hit his knee on the ramp. Dynamite went to commercial.

                    Back from the commercial break, Moxley knocked Kazarian out of the ring. With Kazarian on the floor, Moxley came off the second rope but Kazarian super kicked Moxley in mid-air. Back in the ring, Kazarian hit a backstabber and got a near fall. When Mox went for the paradigm shift, Kazarian countered and put Moxley in a submission.

                    Moxley surprised Kazarian with a paradigm shift for the pinfall victory.

                    Post Match

Brodie Lee says he’s answering the bounty. Mr. Moxley has something that Brodie Lee wants. He challenges Moxley to wrestle for the AEW Championship. Brodie demands an answer to his challenge.

                    Moxley says all he had to do was ask. Brodie kicked him in the face again and the Dark Order swarmed on him.

                    Brandi Rhodes Responds to Jake Roberts

                    It’s not 1991 anymore. If you slap me, I’ll hit you back. My husband is the good guy. I’m more challenging to deal with. Brandi’s mom said “Don’t F with people you don’t know.” I’m Brandi Rhodes and from now on you will keep my name out of your dirty old mouth.

                    Lance Archer defeats QT Marshall

                    Archer mostly used punches and chops, and he then hit three big hip attacks in the corner. QT used a low bridge to send Archer to the outside, but that just led to Archer choke slamming him on the apron. Dynamite went to commercial.

                    Back from the break, Archer continued to dominate QT. At one point, Britt Baker actually hit QT with her shoe. Brandi Rhodes grabbed the shoe and threw it deep into the stands.

                    After delivering the Blackout, Archer didn’t take the pin. He lifted QT’s shoulders off the mat and rammed his head into the apron. Archer pinned QT with the EBD claw.

                    Post Match

                    Le Sex Gods defeat Hardy and Omega

                    Matt Hardy got things off to a fast start by biting the false god’s hand. Matt Hardy and Kenny Omega hit Whisper in the Wind. Omega went for you can’t escape, but Guevara escaped. Jericho and Hardy went to the backstage area. Jericho came back and the Le Sex Gods double teamed Kenny Omega.

                    Matt Hardy came back to the ring, but he was dressed as Matt Hardy (not broken Matt). He hit the side effect on both men and the twist of fate on Chris Jericho. Omega hit a snap dragon on Guevara, but Jericho came in with a baseball bat. Hardy knocked the baseball bat out of Jericho’s hands. Kenny and Hardy got a table and a ladder. Matt came off the top of the ladder putting Sammy through the table.

                    Jake Hager pulled the referee out of the ring before he could make a three count. Dynamite went to a commercial break with picture in picture. The fighting spilled to the backstage area and they wrestled through the concourse.

                    Jericho and Hager put Matt Hardy in the ice machine. When he came out several minutes later, Matt Hard emerged as Broken Matt Hardy. Hardy and Omega then took a golf cart and clipped Jericho and Guevara with the golf cart. Omega did a moonsault off the top of a Genie. When Omega was about to hit the One Winged Angel on Jericho, Santana and Ortiz ran in. Hager powerbombed Hardy through a couple of tables.  Jericho hit the Judas Effect on Omega for the pinfall victory.
