An absolutely physical and excellent opener.  It told the story that Kingston could hang with Miro and they had a slugfest and had Miro not used the cheap shot, it could have gone the other way.  Let's hope they get rematched down the line.

Jon Moxley vs. New Japan Pro Wrestling's Satoshi Kojima.

Your winner, Jon Moxley!

This didn’t have the emotional connection of the opener but as a spotlight for Moxley and to bridge him from this show to his next storyline, it was fine.  There was some really good wrestling here.

After the match, Minoru Suzuki’s music played and out he came, smiling and smirking at Moxley.   He came to the ring and faced off with Moxley in the ring.  They went face to face and Suzuki slapped him.  Moxley responded.  They began nailing each other with forearms and Suzuki was loving it.  Suzuki kicked him in the face and Moxley began laughing maniacally.  Moxley fired back but was caught in a rear naked choke.  Suzuki nailed him with the Gotch piledriver and left Moxley laying.

Britt locked in the Lockjaw and finally Statlander submitted.

Your winner and still AEW Women’s Champion, Britt Baker!

A damn good match.  I don’t know that anyone really thought Britt would lose at this juncture given how hot her character has gotten, which took a little drama off the bout but they worked really well and hard.

Backstage, Andrade el Idolo was interviewed backstage.  He accused him of perhaps causing PAC's travel issues.  Chavo Guerrero said he doesn't even have American Airlines' number, assuming he was on American Airines.  Andrade said he didn't cancel the flight and they'll fight Friday.
