00:00The winds of change are here.
00:05The round robin tournament fans have been calling for for years.
00:10The Continental Classic!
00:13AEW's premier annual tournament.
00:16Okada has got to defend his Continental Championship.
00:20The points leader in each league challenging each other at AEW's World's End
00:25with the league and tournament finals both on the same night.
00:28Despite your best efforts, no matter what you do,
00:31I walk out AEW World Champion.
00:35I'm declaring myself in top contendership.
00:38Whether it's from you or from Eddie, I will take that championship back.
00:43Each gust created from great force.
00:46I want it, so I'm gonna take it.
00:49Pushing everything and everyone to the brink.
00:54I am the greatest in this industry.
00:57This is our World's End.
01:04It's that time of year the Continental Classic kicks off here live tonight.
01:10Three points is three points.
01:12Doesn't matter how you get them.
01:14In the semi-finals, the Gold League and Blue League will take place at World's End.
01:19Each and every single time I get in there, I put the world on notice.
01:22I've never seen a man with such agility.
01:25Kevin Knight, spectacular here.
01:27Does Toby Allen have a limit?
01:30I think we just saw it.
01:32Jack Perry stepping into the Continental Classic.
01:34Less than ideal circumstances for him.
01:37I've never seen eye-to-eye Jack Perry.
01:39But if you're taking my spot, man, win the whole thing.
01:42There are no easy matches.
01:44You learn more from losses than from wins.
01:48Dorado!
01:49It's gonna be considered an upset.
01:51There's a mission.
01:52There's a goal.
01:53This is just how my team is built.
01:55Claudio wins the Continental Classic.
01:57We all win.
01:58Park wins the Continental Classic.
02:00We all win.
02:01Mark wins the Continental Classic.
02:03We all win.
02:05I'm gonna show you bitches why I'm the best tournament wrestler of all time.
02:10You gotta give credit to the Don Callis family.
02:12They're in charge here in the standings.
02:14We are guaranteed to be bringing home the Continental Championship at the end of this Continental Classic.
02:22That was the hardest match of my entire life.
02:25This is the competition that makes the Continental Classic so wonderful.
02:30Don't pull any punches.
02:31Don't hold anything back.
02:32And I'll give you the same thing.
02:33I wouldn't expect nothing less.
02:34Somebody's gotta win, dammit!
02:36Yep, that's right.
02:37Come on, Roddy.
02:38If I'm gonna bring it to my own family members, I have to bring it to you.
02:42This tournament is long.
02:43The ups and downs are inevitable.
02:45This is my first one, so I'll get better doing all this.
02:48I'm gonna do what I need to do to get back in this.
02:50I am coming for the gold.
02:52I'm gonna win the Continental Classic.
02:55History to be made with world's end.
02:57So you do not wanna miss it.
02:59The grind is just starting.
03:05I am ruthless by design.
03:09Whoa!
03:10The hook!
03:11You son of a bitch!
03:13This is the man who's gonna show you the reality of what this industry is.
03:22Seems we have some situations to address.
03:27I think it's time for Hulk to stand on his own.
03:29Woodwops do.
03:30We take the opportunities.
03:32Or maybe not.
03:33What stands before you is a man with a mind that rivals Sun Tzu!
03:38Hulk taps out!
03:40He tapped out pretty quickly.
03:42I wonder if he's trying to make up for something.
03:45A strategist of unparalleled splendor!
03:50Has he been part of the ups all along?
03:52Everything went according to plan.
03:55All of you can have a champion that is worthy enough to be called the greatest in this industry.
04:03For the second time, Samoa Joe claims the AEW Men's World Championship.
04:08Samoa Joe, a man who was once held in such high regard.
04:13Dropping people from behind.
04:15Using a kid like Hulk getting all up in his head.
04:18You sold your soul out hard.
04:20This is the real me.
04:22A man consumed with the AEW Men's World Championship.
04:26This opportunity came calling.
04:28What do ops do?
04:29We take the opportunities.
04:31I am Samoa Joe.
04:33I am the AEW World Champion!
04:36I do not care about men like you.
04:39Because you're in the way of what I have.
04:42Despite your best efforts, no matter what you do, I walk out AEW World Champion.
04:55And it is only a shame that the both of you will suffer because of it.
05:00When AEW started, I was probably one of the first people to lay eyes on what would be the Men's World Championship.
05:15The passion and the drive that I had to win that championship was something that after I had it and I lost it,
05:23that I think that I lost a little bit.
05:25I think of my time in AEW and I am so proud of the first few years, you know?
05:30But since May of 22, I do not know what I have done to be proud of, honestly.
05:38And I wonder what kind of person I am teaching my sons that I am.
05:44Am I full of vengeance, rage, anger, willing to do anything?
05:51I don't know anything, I, I don't know anything, I, I don't know anything but truth.
05:58The son of a tobacco farmer who as a young man worked alongside immigrants during the summers of his youth.
06:08And in doing so, learned the value of hard work, collective action, and perhaps most importantly, respect for his fellow man.
06:15Values that Adam Page lost sight of in his battles with Swerve Strickland, which he has recently, desperately, tried to reclaim.
06:28What a journey Hangman Adam Page has been on. He's finally arrived.
06:34Hangman Adam Page tears in his eyes as he surveys the crowd, as he surveys the carnage.
06:40As the realization sets in. There it is.
06:49A new era, a changing landscape for all elite wrestling.
06:55As Hangman Adam Page is once again, your AEW World Champion.
07:05I have a wife and two kids who love me.
07:09And millions of people watching AEW who can respect me.
07:14And if you want to know what kind of man I am, you can look at me tonight.
07:19Because I am the champion of the world.
07:24I forgot that the prime target is the man that calls himself a champion.
07:37You've never beaten me! You've never beaten me!
07:41At WrestleDream, you will have a chance to win this championship.
07:45Hangman Adam Page, perhaps his biggest test yet.
07:48I will not let you take this from me.
07:51What a fight!
07:53Joe desperately back to his feet.
07:55The proof of who I am does not stand in your opinion of me!
07:58Three buckshot lariats!
08:01It stands when the bell rings!
08:03Not one ounce of quit in this cowboy Hangman Adam Page!
08:08Oh no! Oh my God! What are we witnessing?
08:13You know, there's questions to be asked.
08:16Did I see a post-match attack coming?
08:20Was my plan all along to walk into WrestleDream and to make an example of you no matter what happened in that ring?
08:27No, I thought Samoa Joe was better than that.
08:31You know, if you haven't figured it out yet, maybe you're a lot stupider than I think, Hangman.
08:36You say that I did what I did because you embarrassed me.
08:39And you're right, I was embarrassed.
08:40I was embarrassed for this industry.
08:42I was embarrassed for AEW.
08:45A company that demands that it have a real champion at its head.
08:49One victory away from challenging Hangman Adam Page one more time.
08:54Samoa Joe has the kick at Kina Clark!
08:56Hook taps out! Samoa Joe!
08:58Hangman Adam Page at full gear!
09:00Samoa Joe, celebrations are in order.
09:03If I could a toast to the men's world champion, Hangman Adam Page.
09:09Long may he reign.
09:15Samoa Joe versus the Hangman!
09:17And they steal Kina Clark!
09:24Joe is out and there's nobody to count!
09:26You son of a bitch!
09:28For the second time, Samoa Joe claims the richest prize in our sport.
09:36It seems like hell has truly frozen over as you've teamed with Swerve Strickland.
09:42What is next for you?
09:43What is next for me is the thing that has always been next for me.
09:47The all elite wrestling men's world championship.
09:54At world's end, I am coming for you.
09:58And I am coming for my world championship.
10:01I am the most dangerous man in AEW.
10:04When I was champion, I made business real simple.
10:06What I'm chasing is gold around my waist.
10:07I said it.
10:08Because I didn't want to be anything like Ricochet.
10:09I meant it.
10:10A top contender!
10:11And I backed it the hell up.
10:12I wanted to be Swerve Strickland.
10:13The most dangerous man in AEW.
10:15It's not how much I'm willing to inflict pain on somebody else.
10:17It's how much I'm willing to endure.
10:18Predictability.
10:19To take.
10:20Desperation.
10:21To continue.
10:22Violence.
10:23Doing what I have to do to get what I want.
10:24Oh, Hangman had a page.
10:25He's looking right at Swerve.
10:27Let's see.
10:28Let's see.
10:29Let's see.
10:30Let's see.
10:31Let's see.
10:32Let's see.
10:33Let's see.
10:34Let's see.
10:35Let's see.
10:36Let's see.
10:37Let's see.
10:38Let's see.
10:39Let's see.
10:40Let's see.
10:41Let's see.
10:42Let's see.
10:43It's the freaking bucks.
10:46Year after year.
10:48Had to deal with this bull crap from these EVPs.
10:51This is anarchy in the arena.
11:01The Swerve stopped with attacks.
11:04That was next level insanity.
11:06Next level anarchy.
11:08What the?
11:09Whoa, whoa.
11:10Ospreay took the bullet.
11:15Swerve.
11:16And Ospreay wagering their ability to challenge for the world championship for one year.
11:21We're all done with the power that you keep abusing.
11:25Against the EVP title.
11:27Show some damn respect for the founding fathers.
11:31It's like your IDW anymore.
11:32This is ours.
11:33Just because you are two of the best singles wrestlers on the entire planet doesn't mean you
11:41can get it done against one of the best tag teams of all time.
11:46What the hell are we watching?
11:49This is unbelievable.
11:53Working in tandem.
11:54Styles clashes.
11:57The balance of power has shifted.
12:02It was time to let go of the pass after all.
12:05Oh no.
12:06This has just picked up.
12:07It's Swerve with Hangman's Chain.
12:09Has the air been cleared?
12:11Can the wounds of the past be patched over to Swerve Strickland?
12:18Thank you.
12:20A unified championship.
12:21They're looking quite appetizing to me.
12:24Kazuchiko Kata and Swerve Strickland.
12:26There's a lot more riding on us than just the championship.
12:28Point would be taking chess pieces off the chessboard.
12:32I didn't come back to face off against the Don Callis family.
12:37Hangman Adam Page.
12:38His reign has warped.
12:40Everything that I've ever seen of him was straight up danger.
12:44I didn't come back here to face off against Hobbs and Shibata.
12:49Samoa Joe.
12:50I'm coming for you.
12:52His house.
12:54The man that ended Samoa Joe's first reign as AEW Men's World Champion
13:00has returned.
13:02Three months of turning myself into the biggest, baddest, most dangerous version
13:07of Swerve Strickland that you've ever seen.
13:10Immediately put the newly crowned champion on notice.
13:13I got the biggest moment of my career off of you.
13:15A dangerous, dangerous man.
13:17Now I gotta fight through waves of dojo ops guys
13:21taking all of these men apart to get back to my world championship.
13:26There's never been a greater rivalry than Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland.
13:32Hard to believe we can see these two men working in tandem.
13:37For one night and one night only.
13:40Their fury unleashed on the Ops Dojo.
13:43Hangman and Swerve getting on the same page.
13:48Joe, you will fall once again to the franchise of AEW Swerve Strickland.
13:53Who's house?
13:54Who's house?
13:55Who's house?
13:56This is Don Callis' house now.
14:00Since you've been gone, Swerve, we have put a choke hold on AEW.
14:04We're not loosening that grip.
14:06You think you can just waltz back in here and get a title shot?
14:09What the hell do you want?
14:12If anybody deserves a title shot, it's me!
14:16You wanna do this? How about we do this in Cardiff?
14:18Josh Alexander, Swerve Strickland one-on-one.
14:21This is a very important night for Swerve Strickland.
14:24The most dangerous man in AEW.
14:27An incredible match and a win for Swerve.
14:31I came back here for one damn thing.
14:34An AEW World Championship.
14:37Samoa Joe, your days are numbered.
14:39I'm the most dangerous man in AEW.
14:42I'm declaring myself in top contendership.
14:46It'll be a three-way match to go after your AEW World Championship.
14:52A rematch from last year's revolution.
14:55It turned AEW into who's house?
14:59Who's house?
15:00One of the best pay-per-views of the year.
15:02It is all set to go.
15:05My way.
15:10Ladies and gentlemen, we have all three signatures in 10 days at World's End.
