By Cory Strode on 2025-08-24 12:11:00

Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi), Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay vs. Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley), The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson), and Gabe Kidd - Unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage Match

Jim Ross rejoins commentary.

The cage is much bigger than normal so that there can be a lot of fighting outside of the ring. 

Ospreay is treated as a Megastar by this crowd. 

The Bucks’ music breaks partway through and then their first ever music plays. 

It’s pure brawling as the bell rings and the cage is locked. Darby goes after Mox with a Kendo stick. Tanahashi is attacked by Kidd and Ospreay jumps in to take over, beating down Kidd. Claudio and Mox take a coffin drop from Darby and then he dives onto them from the ring. We then get the Golden Lovers and the Bucks fighting in the ring. The Lovers get stereo hurricanranas on the Bucks. They then get backflips from the turnbuckles to the Bucks on the floor.

Darby has been handcuffed to Darby and Darby hits a Code Red on Claudio which also breaks the links of the handcuffs. The Bucks and the Lovers are back in the ring and this time the Bucks are on top. The Bucks pull out a bag from under the ring and when he empties it…it’s gummy bears. They are brawling until Omega tries a drop toe hold on Matt into the gummy bears, but Matt stops it until Tanahashi slams him into them. Ibushi gets a German suplex with a bridge on Nick for two, broken up by Claudio. 

The Bucks bring a ladder into the ring and use it as a weapon against Omega and Ibushi. They then set up the ladder in the corner and the Bucks power bomb him onto the ladder. The Bucks then get a senton onto Darby on the ladder. Ospreay is busted open, and the Bucks beat him down in the ring. He dodges a ladder attack and then backflips into the ladder to take out the Bucks.

Ospreay takes a chair from Mox and attacks him with it. Ospreay wraps the chair around Mox’s neck, but Kidd stops him and hits a pile driver. Omega attacks Kidd and they fight on the apron. He sets for the Bucks to do a two-man stomp for the top. Claudio gets the giant swing on Omega and he is worked over by Calduio and the Bucks for a two count. Ibushi fights off the Bucks and they drop him with superkicks. The Bucks hit a TK driver on Ibushi for two, broken up by Darby.

Claudio tosses Darby against the cage. Tanahashi is left in the ring with the opposing group and he is able to either take out or sauce everyone to take each other out until Mox gets a DDT. Darby is dragged into the ring and Claudio shoves in a chair. Darby is duct taped to a chair and Mox goes after Darby’s ear with a fork.  I DID NOT NEED TO SEE THIS.

Claudio slams Darby while Darby is still taped to the chair. Tables are set up outside the ring by Yuta and Marina Shafir. The Bucks pull out a barbed wire table. Claudio carries Darby to the top of the cage and Darby fights his way free and knocks Claudio onto a table inside the cage. Tanahashi is able to stop people from running him into the barbed wire table and Tanahashi shoves Claudio into the barbed wire. He then takes out Kidd and Mox with sling blades. Claudio gets a neutralizer on Tanahashi and the Busks hit the EVP trigger for two, broken up by Ospreay.

Mox grabs Ospreay by the neck and as he’s setting for the Death Rider, Ospreay drives him into the barbed wire table. Omega then gets to take everyone out one by one. Ibushi joins him and they get snap dragons on Mox and Matt. Omega then dives onto the opposition. 

Omega and Tanahashi grab ladders and start climbing. Ibushi and Ospreay stop Tanahashi from climbing and instead Ospreay climbs to the top of the cage and moonsaults to the floor onto everyone. Omega and Kidd are in the ring and they throw hands. Omega starts throwing jabs and then chops. Omega gets V Triggers and then it’s time for each person to come in and take out the last person in the ring.

Omega and Ospreay hit a V Trigger and Hidden Blade combo on Kidd for two, broken up by everyone. Big moves all around the ring and we are left with Omega and Mox. Omega gets a V Trigger and then a second. He hits One Winged Angel broken up by the Bucks. Mox and Yuta climb opposite sides of the cage and Darby follows them. As Mox climbs down the outside of the cage, Darby knocks Yuta off the cage into the Japanese announce table. He then chases Mox outside the ring with a Kendo stick. They brawl at ringside and Mox is put between the two table levels. Darby climbs to the top and Shafir pulls Mox off the tables. 

Kidd gets a low blow on Darby on top of the cage. Kidd is on the top of the cage and they brawl until Darby forces them off the top of the cage through the tower of tables outside the ring. 

Claudio beats down Ibushi, but Ibushi gets a half-and-half followed by Ospreay getting a Stormbreaker on Claudio. The Levers take out the Bucks. Omega and Ospreay get a hidden blade one winged angle on Matt, followed by Tanahashi with a High Fly Flow for the pin and the win.

Winners: Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi), Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay

Darby is able to get to his feet and after everyone leaves the cage by Ospreay, the crowd serenades him. As we start to go to credits, the Death Riders lock Ospreay in the cage and start the beat down in the ring. They wrap a chair around Ospreay’s neck. The Opps run to the ring and Mox stomps on the chair. 

The cage is being raised and the Death Riders high tail it through the crowd. As we go off the air, Ospreay is stretchered out.
