A damn fun match.  Punk looked like he didn't have any ring rust at all and Darby fought his heart out before losing.  This was a lot of fun as everything meant something and the slower pace made Darby's offense mean a lot.  A great entrance back into the ring for Punk.

Malakai Black cut a promo, saying he wanted Dustin Rhodes to be as angry as he can, because it means he will slip up.  When he does, he'll be in the ring wit Malakai.  He said that for all the reasons Dustin is upset, he should think about how he left his brother Cody lifeless and that Cody still hasn't returned.  He wants Dustin to think about that and that it's time to pay the boatman's toll.

They plugged Andrade vs. Pac for this Friday.

Another really damn well worked match.  

The Young Bucks came to the ring, hurting, to celebrate with Omega.  Callis, Gallows and Anderson joined them in the ring.

They all beat down Cage.  

The Jurassic Express hit the ring but was overwhelmed. 

Omega took the mic and asked Chicago if they were finally starting to understand.  He doesn't care if they have best in the world hometown heroes, no one is at his level.  When it comes to the AEW belt, the only people who would ever have a chance to beat him are already retired, are already dead or they aren't here.  The lights went out and Adam Cole came out.

Cole came to the ring and faced off with The Elite.  The crowd chanted, "Holy sh**" Cole then superkicked Jungle Boy and reunited with his former friends in The Elite.

Omega said they really thought he was scared.  He handed the mic to Adam Cole, who said it was Story Time.  The Elite is the most dominant stable in the business and there's no chance anyone is going to stop them.  Omega was signing the show off when out came Bryan Danielson.  He came to the ring and lined up with Cage and the other babyfaces.

Omega ran from the ring, leaving The Elite to brawl with Danielson and is new friends.  Bryan whipped out suplexes and nailed his running knee on Nick Jackson.

The crowd chanted for AEW as the show went off the air.

If there was ever such a thing as a perfect storm show, this was it.  This felt like the promotion was on the cusp of something special.
