Minutes to Bell Time

August Grey defeats Ariya Daivari

Tony Nese and Jake Atlas are banned from ringside which makes me expect one or both will be showing up at some point in some fashion.
Starting to see Grey sell his knee after landing on the outside, we will see if Daivari focuses on it now.
Inside Cradle from Grey but couldn’t set it properly enough to even get a one count.
We’re still calling it the Unprettier in WWE for now, we will see if they change it to something else with Christian now in AEW.
So they’re calling August Grey “Retro” now, is that new or have I just missed the previous times they used that?
10 minutes in and still no Nese or Atlas so we may get a clean finish or at least one without outside interference.
How weird was the catch by Grey as Daivari hit the frog splash? Just didn’t look like the usual way one braces for the Frog Splash.
Daivari gets pissed at the ref not counting the pin when he is blatantly holding the middle rope. He turns around into a superkick from Grey.
Grey ends up getting the pinfall victory but using his feet on the ropes to take a play out of Daivari’s playbook.
MATCH TIME: 13:35
Post match, Daivari is shocked he lost to Grey cheating. Not a fan when announcers are fine with faces cheating.
