00:00Champion hangman Adam Page and I want to make it clear. I've said this is Samoa Joe
00:04I gave him this opportunity not because he begged and screamed and asked for it and demanded it
00:09But because I owe it to it and I look forward to it
00:14Samoa Joe
00:16Like so many others
00:18Instrumental in fending off the Deathriders earlier this summer at all in Texas
00:24Which cleared the way for hangman Adam Page to dethrone Jon Moxley for that AEW World Championship
00:31We have seen some hard-heading matches in this
00:35Two hours. We've got another hour to go, but I'm telling you
00:38I don't think you're gonna find a harder-hitting match one. We're about to see
00:42You see beast mortals powerhouse Hobbs starting things off for their respective sides
00:49Mortals and hops to the rough shoulder tackle neither man willing to give ground
00:54Oh
00:59Comes up clutching that shoulder, but oh, perhaps a ruse to deliver a headbutt
01:08Clothesline in the corner, but Hobbs the body block
01:17Repeated blows in the corner by one-third of the AEW World trio champions released to go got caught creeping in
01:24But that opened up powerhouse Hobbs with a boot
01:28Sling blade from the middle rope by the beast mortals
01:32Can't turn your back on Hobbs though. Look he's rumbling up now
01:36Discus Lariat avoided by Hobbs
01:40Delivers a powerful shoulder tackle taking mortals off his feet
01:43Now roosh
01:45Roosh
01:46Roosh Kona
01:48Roosh Kona
01:49Roosh Kona
01:50Roosh Kona
01:50Yes sir
01:51Yes sir
01:52Kona wanted this like you mentioned Excalibur
01:55Kona wanted this like you mentioned Excalibur
01:55Shibata and Hobbs
01:57There's even Shibata and Roosh had a very heated one-on-one battle earlier this summer and now
02:03Shibata
02:05And the better of Roosh here at the elbow exchange
02:07Walked through the chop from Roosh and
02:14Hangman
02:15I have to ask you are you surprised at all that Samoa Joe has not seen action yet in this this title contest
02:20No, I'm not he's biding his time he's waiting for the absolute right instrumental moment to come in smart on
02:27Hey, man, you've been in the ring with Roosh in a trios match yourself
02:31What do you make of him?
02:33He's he's tough as hell. I was gonna say you don't want to get in a chop fight with Shibata, but I think maybe Roosh does
02:41Yeah, when I saw you two fight each other, I was blown away and I was like, oh, I'd love to see that as a title match
02:47Oh headbutt delivered into the jaw of Shibata Roosh on the move swing
02:52There by Kutcheri Shibata
02:54But you can see the effects of this striking exchange evident on both men
03:01So much talent in the ring so many champions all around
03:06Joe's reaching for that tag. There he goes
03:09Joe does get the tag
03:11We're leaving Kutcheri Shibata now stepping into the ring with Beast Mordos
03:17Attitudes from Joe
03:19Well, you know last week there was some attitude as well. I think so. I knew he were and I was in the ring with you that face-to-face
03:29There's a smack Joe in the face absolutely
03:32And he's in good for it Joe using those quick hands
03:35To punish the jaw of the Beast Mordos on the hammer throw into the corner Joe
03:42It's amazing isn't a hangman a guy that size
03:46And he's looking over here towards you that can move like that. Oh, yeah, he's an absolute Christmas ham of a man that he could move like no other
03:54I like that
03:56Mordos into the waiting boot of Kutcheri Shibata the ops
04:01Going to work here
04:05Snapmare and Shibata
04:07Oh Shibata
04:09Man, a kick to the face of Roosh to release to go. Yeah, this is personal between Shibata and Roosh no doubt
04:15Yeah, he put himself into the lion's den to go over and give boot to give Roosh a big boot and now LFI going at the ops in the corner
04:26Now three on one for Kutcheri Shibata being singled out by the challengers
04:31Now the arm captured of Kutcheri Shibata tag out and Roosh the kick
04:47Hammer throw across the ring Kutcheri Shibata lined up Charlize to go in first then comes Mordos Roosh
04:53Roosh
04:55Roll Shibata
04:58Triple dropkick as the AEW World Trios Championship on the line who will prevail we will find out live here on TBS and HBO Max
05:12Shibata was clutching his knee that time guys on that triple dropkick
05:17Kick
05:18Yeah, I didn't see the landing of all three members of LFI
05:20But it's very possible that somebody came down on the leg of Kutcheri Shibata
05:24Yeah, which is bad news for the ops
05:28Yeah, Shibata especially just coming back from that injury
05:31Sustained when Daniel Garcia gave him the curve stop
05:36Yeah, the despicable death riders but right now to release to go the cover Shibata able to kick out and hangman
05:42Hangman despite the the language barrier Kutcheri Shibata is somebody that has been fully embraced by the AEW locker room
05:49And has really become something of a locker room leader here
05:51He's an absolute legend. Yeah, I think we've all we've all watched Shibata throughout the years
05:55He's somebody we all you know respect and look up to and I'm really glad you have him here on AEW
05:59Right now to release to go targeting that knee of Kutcheri Shibata
06:06Smart move by the challengers Brian noticing that Shibata came up clutching that left knee after the triple dropkick
06:12Yeah, very observant by drillistico
06:17Because Shibata only you know he only grabbed it for just a second
06:21But that was enough for drillistic go to notice now attacking the leg
06:28Mordos, Sentai cover Shibata
06:30Smart move there. He was close to the ropes
06:32That was foot on the ropes to get the brake
06:34But Samoa Joe got his foot in between the shoulder blades of the Beast Mordos
06:44Cover made Shibata kicking out quickly
06:46Yeah, hang man when you're out here and you're you're watching Samoa Joe
06:51What are you what are you looking for right now?
06:54Weaknesses looking for weaknesses. I'm sure gonna need to find them
06:57I don't know so far
06:59I have it
07:00You're gonna have to look hard
07:01I'll tell you that
07:04And what do you think what advantages do you think
07:07Oh goodness
07:09That's gotta be a DQ
07:11Aubrey has turned to the other the other way
07:13Yeah, she had her attention on LFI
07:18Katsuri Shibata caught low
07:25I think if Mordos was caught he might have said that was to the inside of the thigh Tony
07:29No, but
07:30Well, I don't know
07:31That's not what he targeted
07:32I doubt that
07:34Yeah, and especially the way that Shibata dropped
07:36I mean Shibata's done a lot of kickboxing
07:38Taking a lot of inside leg kicks
07:40He would have been dropped by an inside leg kick
07:42That was directly to the groin
07:45Roosh
07:46Pulls up short
07:47And that kick to that face
07:49Absolute disrespect to Katsuri Shibata
07:51And then the pair of fingers to Samoa Joe as well
07:59You don't want to disrespect Shibata like this
08:01Roosh really feeling like LFI has this match in hand
08:05This special three-hour presentation of AEW live on TBS and HBO Max
08:15AEW World Scrios championship on the line
08:18LaFaxione and Gobernable have Katsuri Shibata

08:24Jarlis Tico and the Beast
08:27Mordos
08:28Going to work
08:29Oh Shibata clip in the back of the head
08:31On the bottom rope
08:32Very dangerous for Shibata
08:34Cover
08:35Two
08:36Katsuri Shibata Bryan
08:37He's somebody that survived a very scary
08:39I mean very nearly career and life-ending brain injury
08:44Just a few years ago
08:45100%
08:46And you know those those ropes
08:48Quoto cut ropes
08:49They're not actually ropes they're still cables
08:51And he hit the back of his head against that cable
08:54I'm mildly concerned looking at his face right now
