Mox is able to get a Paradigm Shift followed by a Death Rider for the pin and the win.

Winner: Jon Moxley

We then get a recap of Swerve Strickland turning heel and attacking Kenny Omega last week. Prince Nana then shows up and gets in Nigel’s face at the announce table as he explains that Swerve doesn’t care about a fine or a week off. He then introduces Swerve, who takes over the announce table.

The crowd cheers when he asks if the crowd missed him. He talks about beating up the crowd’s favorite. They start chanting for Kenny and Swerve says he feels no guilt because he warned Kenny. He’s mad Kenny called someone else the most dangerous man in AEW, and putting Kenny down put him in line for the title.

He says he has taken down all of The Elite. He says that Adam Page asked him if he regretted the evil things he’s done and at the time, he did, but now he lives life forward with no regrets. He then warns the AEW roster that all of them are on notice and if you dare to stop him, he will take you down as well.

In the back, Brody King says he is the most dangerous man in AEW.

Orange Cassidy vs. Gabe Kidd

Cassidy’s entrance video on the big screen has a Lost poster for Roderick Strong and the reward is a $15 gift card.

Gabe attacks as the bell rings and stomps Cassidy down in the corner. Gabe tosses Cassidy across the ring and then when he tries again, Cassidy makes it a hip toss for one. Cassidy gets a backslide for one and then an inside cradle for two. Cassidy is whipped to the corner where he goes up and over and gets a series of attacks from the apron. Cassidy runs into a right punch for two as we go to picture-in-picture.

When we return to full screen, Cassidy gets a big boot up in the corner and Gabe puts Cassidy on top. Gabe knocks him to the floor from the top. Gabe follows Cassidy to the floor and rolls him into the ring. Cassidy rolls out of the ring and when Gabe follows, he rolls back in and Gabe gets in the ring and gives him a stomp.

Renee Paquette is with Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander. Rosa is asked about her title match next week, and she answers in Spanish. Kris tells her to be careful. Rosa says she can take care of herself and doesn’t do careful.

Kevin Knight w/Speedball Mike Bailey vs. the already in the ring Mansoor

Doesn’t look like MXM TV are considered a big deal anymore as Knight beats him with the UFO Splash.

Winner: Kevin Knight

Knight grabs a mic after the match and says that no matter what stipulation MJF chooses, Adam Page will beat him and he wants to be the first challenger for the title.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring to talk to Hangman Adam Page and MJF about what the stipulation will be for their match at Revolution. MJF tells the crowd to keep their mouths shut and show him some respect. He says Page is brave for saying if he loses he will never wrestle for the title again, but he doesn’t know history because he already destroyed one person’s career in AEW with that stipulation.

That would be Cody Rhodes.

He says he has a fair way to decide the stipulation but he has to throw his gum in the trash first and he tosses it into the crowd. He says they will flip a coin. If it comes up tails, it will be a Texas Death Match, but if it lands on heads, it will be a one-way no disqualification match. That means MJF can’t be disqualified, but Page can be.

Page says he will do it, but he wants to make sure MJF understands what he is doing tonight because Texas Death will change him. He says he could bring in broken glass and drag MJF through it. Or, if he had barbed wire and put it in his mouth. Page says MJF calls himself the devil, but this hell is his. Page says he could beat MJF in any match, but he has put his entire career on the line. He then says if he can’t beat MJF, he doesn’t deserve the championship.

Now, will Page check to make sure it’s not a two-headed coin?

MJF says he feels lucky and gives the coin to Tony and Tony says it is heads, a one-way no DQ match.

As MJF leaves, Page asks for the quarter and MJF refuses. Speedball, Knight, Brody and Bandido come from the back to stop him. They shove MJF into the ring and as MJF says they use a different coin, Tony says because the coin was rigged, the match will be a Texas Death Match.

Good set up for MJF not to get his way.

In the back, the Battling Birds, Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor say they are here to beat the living piss out of people, then it’s the flying f#@$ out of people before they go for a pint.

Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron), AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions, vs. Megabad (Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford) w/Lena Cross

Willow and Megan start the match with shoving and strikes. They move to shoulder tackles and Willow drops Megan. Ford gets a blind tag and Megan kicks her into a roll-up by Ford for one. Willow whips Ford to the corner and gets ten clotheslines. Harley tags in and then both hit running strikes. Willow then gets a senton with Harley on her back for two with Megan breaking it up. All four women brawl in the ring until Megabad is knocked to the floor.

The Babes follow them and continue brawling at ringside. Megan dives onto the Babes. Ford then dives onto them as well as we go to picture-in-picture.

When we return to full screen, Harley gets a spinning DDT on Megan after being the babyface in peril through the break. Harley tags in Willow, who runs wild on Megan before hitting a spinebuster for two. They go back and forth until Willow gets a German suplex and then hits a cannonball from the apron onto Megan on the floor. Megan is rolled into the ring.

Lena gets into the ring with the title belt and attacks Willow and the ref calls for the bell.

Winners by DQ and still Women’s Tag Team Champions: Babes of Wrath

Andrade El Idolo comes to the stage with Don Callis, so it looks like that’s another Revolution match.

Renee Paquette is with Kyle Fletcher and she tells him Tommaso Ciampa wants a rematch. Kyle says the belt is now called Pinky and it belongs to him. Kazuchika Okada shows and says they are the best champions ever, unlike Takeshita, and he says they should team up as Protokada.
