RPG Vice (Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta) and Lance Archer vs Brody King, Tomohiro Ishii, and Bandido
More Don Callis on commentary. I much prefer when Taz is mocking Callis when he shows up to commentary.
Ishii starts the match and each member of the RPG Vice gets taken down. Archer gets in the ring and King is tagged in. HOSS FIGHT as they throw hands. Brody takes Archer down with a big boot, and then Ishii dives onto him. All six men brawl around the ring as we go to picture in picture.

Bandido interrupts a Jackal Driver and takes out Archer with a low bridge. Ishii tags in King. Rocky is left in the ring with King’s team as they triple team him. King hits a cannonball in the corner on Rocky for the pin and the win.
Winners: Brody King, Tomohiro Ishii, and Bandido
Archer’s team attacks after the bell and as they get to work, The Outrunners hit the ring and clean house.
Lexi Nair is with the Paragon and the Grizzled Young Veterans interrupt. GYV say the Paragon has gone soft. So, next week, we get GYV vs Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong.

Speedball grabs a mic and challenges Okada for a match right here, right now. OKada comes to the stage. Okada says he approves it….bitch. Dralistico and Rush attack Bailey from behind, and Okada goes to the back. No match tonight, I guess.
Big Bill and Bryan Keith vs Gates of Agony (Toa Leona and Bishop Kaun) - Chicago Street Fight
Everyone brings out plunder. Bill and Keith start setting up tables when they hit the ring. Gates of Agony bring out a barbed wire wrapped bat and the fight begins. We’ve got traffic cones, street signs, and more before Bill rolls Kaun into the ring. Kaun spears Keith through the table in the corner. We then get Leona and Bill fighting in the ring with a broken pool cue. They destroy the cues and they then just throw hands.
When Bill goes to the ropes, Kaun grabs Bill from behind with a cable and chokes him, and pulls him out of the ring. Leona takes over the choke and Keith leaps into Kaun’s arms on the floor as we go to picture in picture. I always hate a street fight going into the small screen simply because these guys are working hard with dangerous moves and it’s too small to really get a good idea of what they are doing. If we’re going to have a dangerous fight, at least spotlight the work they guys are doing.
When we return to full screen, Keith is upside down in a trash can as the Gates attack. Keith is covered for one. In the trash can. How did the ref know his shoulders were down?
Bill breaks it up and he and Kaun fight to the floor. Bill opens up his backpack and it’s got bricks in it. Bill swings the brick, and Kaun gets out of the way so the brick breaks apart on the turnbuckle. Keith nails Leona with a trash can lid, but Leona just gets angry about it and charges at Keith who tosses another trash can lid at him. They fight into the timekeeper’s area,
Kaun drags Bill into the ring on the side where there are tables set up on the floor. They fight into the ring and Keith nails Kaun with a trash can itself. Leona drags Bill to the apron and they fight there. Bill then kicks Leona off the apron through the tables at ringside. Keith nails Kaun with a hunk of drywall. Kaun gets up, smiling. Bill gets a big boot and then hits a chokeslam for the pin and the win.
Winners: Big Bill and Bryan Keith
We get a promo from Mina Shirakawa for her match with Toni Storm for the title at Double or Nothing.
Tony is on the stage for a tribute to Steve “Mongo” McMichael. We get his spouse, Misty, who gives a short memorial. She became a nurse in order to take care of Mongo as ALS affected him. Dean Malenko is also on stage. Tony goes over Mongo’s accomplishments in both football and wrestling and then introduces Ric Falir.
Ric gave a heartfelt speech and it was a nice memorial for Mongo. Classy move from AEW since they have the legacy of wrestling on TNT and TBS.
They highlight the Lex Turner ALS Foundation: lesturnerals.org
On TNT, this is where the show ends, and they do nnot show the match between Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara vs Cru for a tag team title show at Double or Nothing. They also do not have the match between Powerhouse Hobbs and Wheeler Yuta. Instead, they start showing the movie “Black Adam” a half hour early.
This is also where the show ends on MAX.
No notes up on any social media from AEW that I can see.
