Your Winner: Christian Cage

We go to comments about Darby and Sting. We gets them walking in black and white while Darby says  Matt Hardy's body is breaking down and he no longer has people's respect, because money doesn't mean anything to him.  The video ends with Darby burning a Big Money Matt Hardy sign.  We go to the announcers going down the card for the night.

We then go to commercials and come back to a video of Jade Cargill talking about how she has beat Red Velvet before and she will do it again.  

When we come back, the trainees of the Nightmare Factory are around the ring for Cody's Elaborate Entrance. The announcers make note that QTR Is already in the ring and had no fanfare for his entrance.

Cody Rhodes vs QT Marshal with Special Referee Arn Anderson for an Unsanctioned Exhibition Match

 

Remember, this is just an exhibition, this is not a competition, so please, no wagering.

They lock up and go to the corner and then back to the middle when they break. QT goes for a leg and Cody was able to grab the leg and take QT down and lets go, clapping for QT. They run the ropes and Cody is able to knock QT down with a shoulder tackle and then a series of hip tosses. Cody keeps the arm bar on and QT reverses it. Cody reverses it and puts his foot in QT's face, showing he could have stomped him, but didn't. 

QT gets to the ropes for a break.  Cody hits the drop down uppercut and QT follows with a drop kick. QT gets an arm bar and works the left, injured shoulder as we go to picture in picture. QT keeps working the shoulder on the small screen. 

When the picture gets big again, Cody has QT on his shoulder and slams him to the mat. Cody whips off the belt and tosses it, and then goes to put on the figure four and stops before locking it on. QT gets up and takes a swing at Cody, Cody is able to get him in a full nelson and they set up for the crossroads and legs go before hitting it because it's just an exhibition. 

QT gets up and slaps Cody and they run the ropes, QT tries for a cross body, but Cody dodges and QT rolls to the outside.  Cody holds the ropes for QT and QT pops Arn Anderson.  Everyone runs to see how Arn is and QT leaves the ring and stands on the stage, shocked at what he has done.  As QT stands on the stage, three of the students attack everyone and clear the ring.  They end by tossing Lee Jahonson to the entry and QT Marshall steps on Lee's hard as he goes to the ring.  QT then stomps on Arn and the stairs are tossed on the stage.  

Dustin Rhodes is busted open because that's his job and he is tossed up on the stage to get pile driven on the steel steps by QT Marshall.  QT orders them to attack Cody and Cody is held as Cody gets punched in the gut.  Cody then lays on the steps and QT is able to nail Cody with a chair and Red Velvet shows up to stop QT's attack.

QT and his three accomplices leave the arena and we go to a video of Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page talking about how they are done being overlooked.

We get a recap of QT's betrayal of Cody and the rest of the Nightmare Family.

In the back, Dasha is with Red Velvet. But before they could get goingJade Cargill shows up and attacks Jade, leaving her lying.

We then get a pretape of Jon Moxley talking about how the events of the last few weeks piss him off.  He says he is still recovering from the barbed wire match and that pisses him off.  He says he's being forced to fight tonight, and someone is getting dropped on their head and someone is getting choked unconscious.

Jon Moxley is then on his way to the ring.  His opponent Cesar Bononi is already in the ring and they go face to face, jacking jaws.

Jon Moxley vs Cezar Bononi

They trade blows in the middle of the ring and Bononi knocks Mox down.  Bononi works Mox over in the corner and whips him across the ring.  Mox is able to bring Bononi down with a Dragon Screw and keeps him down with a single leg crab.  Bononi kicks out and Mox starts in with kicks on Bononi. Outside the ring, Nick Nemeth, who we are told is friends with Bononi, and that gives Bononi a chance to get up and attack Mox. 

Bononi hits Mox with a suplex and we go to picture in picture as Bononi gets all of his offense in. 

When the screen goes big again, follows Mox into the corner with a clothesline. Mox gets in a punch and Bononi knees Mox and tosses Mox to the opposite side.  He tries to follow Mox in, but Mox gets out of the way.  Mox is able to escape when Bononi tries to pick him up, and Bononi gets in a back elbow to escape a grab from Mox. Mox hits a series of strikes and is able to drop Bononi with a German suplex. Mox hits a clothesline in the corner, they go to the top and Mox gets a superplex for a two count.  

Mox locks on a cross arm breaker, and while Drake is on the apron to distract the ref, Nemeth tries to come in the ring to interfere.  Never a good choice and he eats a paradigm shift because someone has to. Bononi is able to nail Mox and then he tries for a pump handle slam, but Mox leaps onto his back and puts on a sleeper hold.  Bononi drops the mat and the ref says he is out.

Your winner, Jon Moxley

We check in with Team Taz. Taz says everything is fine in Team Taz. Ricky Starks says he thinks everything was great on Dark, but Cage says Starks should have helped out sooner. Tax says everything is fine and no one can stop the path of rage.

We then go back to the Pinnacle's locker room and MJF says he has everyone's gift, a new personal stylist. MJF then says the room they are in is a dump, and he is getting an interior designer.  He then says they will clean up the stench of the bathroom, and when he opens the door, Jericho, Ortiz, Santana and Sammy Guevara are inside waiting.  

MJF shuts the door and tells them they need to go.  Sadly, they don't leave in time and it's a full on brawl! The Inner Circle is able to take out each member of Pinnacle one by one. 

And yes, MJF gets a swirly.

Jericho then tells him the worst is yet to come and tosses him through the glass door of the Pepsi machine. He says that it was THEIR dressing room and they put their sign up and toss MJF into the hallway.

Alex Marvez is with the Young Bucks and he asks what is going on with them and Kenny Omega.  Don Callis shows and tells Nick and Alex to leave. He tells Matt they need to talk.  Don says he loves Kenny as family, and last week, Matt broke his heart.  He said Kenny chose Matt, and Matt didn't do anything for Kenny last week. Matt glares at him and Don slaps Matt.  Matt grabs Don and then slowly lets him go.  Don asks if there is anything inside him at all.  He then says Matt makes him sick and we go to commercials.

When we come back, it's the Lucha Brothers and the Laredo Kid.  We get an insert interview with them and the translator, Alex Abrahantes, who says Kenny's luck has run out and they are coming for all of the championships.

The announcers go down the card for next week. We get a promo with Jurassic Express and say they will beat Bear Country in honor of Godzilla vs Kong, they will win.  Sadly, Marko Stunt has a Kong tattoo.

Marko Stunt seems to have forgotten that history shows again and again that nature points out the folly of men.

It's now time for the main event as video game arcade cabinets are set up at ringside. Miro and Kip Sabian with Penelope Ford are out first and we go to commercial.

When we come back, Orange Cassidy and Charles Taylor are on their way to the ring.  And they do not mention if Charles loses, he will be Miro's butler forever. I wonder if that stipulation has been forgotten.

Miro and Kip Sabian vs Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor in an Arcade Anarchy anything goes match.

It starts with all four men brawling in the ring.  Kip and Cassidy fight to the outside on the Whack a Mole machine, and Cassidy uses the mallet on Kip.  Miro runs through Cassidy and then runs him into the ring post before slamming him on the floor.  Cassidy is tossed into the whack a mole and as he is recovering, Miro sets up barricade onto another or the barricade. Taylor and Cassidy try to suplex Miro onto the barricade, but Miro blocks it and suplexes Taylor into the barricade.

Miro grabs a chair off the prize rack, no kidding, a prize rack, and shoves it into the ring. Cassidy is in the ring and Miro sets up the chair in the corner and Cassidy tries to fight back and eventually goes into the chair.  

As Miro stalks Cassidy, Taylor leaps off of the Mortal Kombat cabinet and attacks him. Cassidy then attacks Kip and Taylor tosses Miro into the ring post.  Taylor grabs a Kendo stick and goes after Miro.  He and Cassidy attack Miro, and start to cover him with plunder after clothesline him with the bent barricade. 

Yes, including the whack a mole machine.

Cassidy covers and Kip is able to break it up at 2. Kip then works over Taylor and Cassidy. Taylor tosses Kip into the whack a mole, grabs a teddy bear from the prize table. He tosses Kip into the ring and unzips it and it's full of, no, not thumb tacks, it's Legos!

Taylor and Kip go to the top and they drop the mat.  Kip is able to grab Taylor and power bomb him onto the Legos for a two count, broken up by Cassidy.   Cassidy then hits a DDT and a Beach Break for a twop count.  Cassidy hits the orange punch and Ford pulls the ref out of the ring.  Ford tosses Cassidy into the claw machine after a kick to the yam bag and takes off her belt to attack Cassidy.  Then, from the claw machine comes Kris Statlander, who bursts out and suplexes Ford through an air hockey table.

Miro then attacks Cassidy and tosses him around on the floor. Miro then takes out Taylor with a kick. Miro grabs a chair and goes after both Taylor and Cassidy.

We then see that a white minivan has arrived at the building and Miro sets up a table.  And Trent has arrived, brought by his mom!

All three attack Miro.  Miro is able to escape and drop everyone.  He waves at Trent's mom and goes toward the minivan. Miro tries to climb up the minivan and Trent is able to stop him and take him back to ringside.  Miro picks up Mortal Kombat II and tosses the cabinet at Trent. Trent dodges and tosses a chair at him. He then spears Miro through the table.

Kip then is hit with a running power slam by Taylor through the stage for a three count.

Your winners:  The Best Friends

We get a Best Friends Hug with Kris Statlander and we're out of time!
