00:04It's Wesley! You know what that means!
00:08A.W. Dynamite is coming to you live from the Mile High City, Denver, Colorado,
00:13alongside Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness, I have Excalibur,
00:16and we have a gargantuan broadcast for you here tonight.
00:21Nigel, there will be gold on the line.
00:23Ending in a rematch from Grand Slam Australia, the major rough.
00:26Look for payback for a vicious post-match attack by Mega Man.
00:30Here are comments from both teams.
00:36Here we go again in Denver, Colorado!
00:40Regan, Penelope, so you want another title shot?
00:42We're going to fill you with so much rough that's going to come at your eyes!
00:45Oh, well, we've done this song and dance before, and we are still champs,
00:50so let's tango, ladies!
00:53Australia was a warning, and tonight is a reality.
00:57We've made you bow down again and again, but tonight, you'll bow down and stay down.
01:07Clear, great.
01:08And we'll see them two compete for the winnings tag team titles tonight.
01:14Plus the medal tonight of a big, strong Bruce.
01:17Mark Davis against big, groaning King, one-on-one tonight.
01:22And after Orange Cassidy got involved in his conflict with Darby Allin,
01:25the madman, Gabe Kidd, looks to make good on his brakes to squeeze, or he tried.
01:31And ten-man, mile-high madness, anything goes.
01:34Tag team match, Young Bucks, Rascals, and Jungle Jack parody.
01:37FTR, the demand, our main event tonight.
01:40This past Saturday, a collision.
01:42Things got even more intense between the Bucks and FTR.
01:49FTR, we thought that the story of Revolution was going to be about finding out who the best tag team
01:54was.
01:55But then Saturday, you've crossed the line.
01:58You put your hands on our family.
02:01Dax and Cash, just trash-talking, the Young Bucks' father.
02:05Do you think I wanted to involve your family in this?
02:08It's your fault.
02:09Wait, Stokely, the powder, and...
02:11Let's not forget that you guys superkicked Stoke first.
02:15Let's not forget that your family put your hands on us first.
02:20Oh, for crying out loud, they shoved down their mother.
02:22Malachi Jackson, the younger brother of Matt and Nick.
02:25You piledrove our brother.
02:26This man is a civilian!
02:28Oh, my God, no, no!
02:29You made this person.
02:31Right in front of Matt and Nick.
02:34Oh, hell yeah, it's person.
02:36And tonight, it's mile-high madness in Denver.
02:39Whatever happens tonight is your fault.
02:42Our family, they're going to be okay because they're resilient.
02:45You know who's not going to be okay, though?
02:47We're not going to be okay until we get our damn hands on you, Dax, and Cash.
02:52And our first shot at that, tonight, at mile-high madness.
03:01FTR crossed the red line this past Saturday.
03:04They will have to pay for it here tonight in our main event.
03:07Plus, tonight, MJF, world champion, and hang that at a pace to sign off the stipulation for Revolution on March
03:1415th.
03:15But coming up right now, we kick off our broadcast in AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match.
03:21It's Jon Moxley, El Clone, one-on-one.
03:47It's Jon Moxley, El Clone, one-on-one.
03:51It's Jon Moxley.
04:16It's Jon Moxley.
04:20Whether it's week in, week out, inside that ring is one of the constants in professional wrestling.
04:26But for Jon, it is about his adaptability.
04:29Whether he's in the ring wrestling strong style against Dekestra.
04:32Tonight, with a luchador like El Clone, this is where he prides himself on that work ethic and staying sharp
04:38inside that ring.
04:41Here with the matriarch of the Death Riders, Marina Shafir.
04:44Marina, talk to me about the origin of the pre-match slap.
04:49Rene, there is no peace for great men.
04:52And there is no pain in that slap.
04:55Only joy.
04:57Thank you so much.
05:00I'll thank you for the update, Rene.
05:02Jon Moxley set for this Continental Eliminator Clash.
05:08It's a 20-minute time limit.
05:10Everyone is banned from ringside.
05:12But crucially, if the Eliminator challenger goes the distance, the full 20 minutes,
05:19they will earn a shot at the champion and the Continental Championship.
05:23And El Clone asks all the ability in the world to go the distance and even win this match.
05:27He's proved it many times.
05:30From Mexico City to Mexico, weighing 83 kilograms, El Clone.
05:38Nigel, this past Saturday, a collision.
05:41El Clone teamed with Konosuke Takeshita.
05:43Mark Davis to defeat Jon Moxley.
05:45Pack and Wheeler Uta extending Clone's perfect record against the Death Riders.
05:50Yeah, El Clone has got a lot to feel confident about as he heads into this match against Jon Moxley,
05:57the leader, the workhorse of the Death Riders.
06:01Moxley, of course, got to keep his focus on this man, this mysterious, sinister and calculating emissary of Don Callis.
06:12Cannot be thinking ahead to Revolution and the Continental Match.
06:17There will be no time limit with Konosuke Takeshita.
06:22They went the distance in Australia coming up on March 15th.
06:27It will be no time limit for the Continental Championship.
06:32Jon Moxley, Konosuke Takeshita, one-on-one.
06:34But El Clone, a huge opportunity here tonight.
06:37I mean, we saw Saturday on a collision, Tony.
06:39FTR facing the Rascals in an Eliminator Match.
06:43The Young Bucks already have the shot at Revolution.
06:46It could be the Bucks versus the Rascals at Revolution.
06:50It could be Takeshita versus El Clone.
06:52Don Callis family, Don Callis family at Revolution.
06:55Well, the Rascals pulled the big upset on a collision like you talked about.
06:59And that, of course, led to what we saw early on in that video package.
07:06Well, you've got to call it as you saw it, though, Tony.
07:09It was a distraction from the Young Bucks.
07:11You've got to call it as you saw it that gave the Rascals the opportunity to score that upset.
07:16And I understand that, but a win-to-win, Nigel, you know that.
07:20But it led to certainly more than a win or a loss at the end of collision.
07:26So I'm sure we will talk about that extensively in our main event tonight.
07:30Right now, El Clone, Jon Moxley, up to a very...
07:35Technical start.
07:37Don Callis, as he is wont to do, avoiding Jon Moxley.
07:43I'd say petrified of Jon Moxley, Tony.
07:45I think that's the right term.
07:46And you know what?
07:47Don Callis, you know, we always give him a hard time that he deserves.
07:50But he's a smart guy.
07:52Stay away from Jon Moxley.
07:55Wily and deceptive.
07:56Callis has a long history with Moxley.
08:00Jon Moxley finds himself in the grip of El Clone.
08:05Tight wrist lock.
08:08Moxley considering his options.
08:11Falls forward, but Clone, ready.
08:13Side headlock takeover.
08:16Did not takeover.
08:17Just side headlock.
08:18Sends Clone into the ropes.
08:19Clone comes back.
08:20Shoulder tackle.
08:25Taking a look at it.
08:27Again.
08:28Second has ticked.
08:30Same result.
08:34Oh, wow.
08:36Now that was smart, wasn't it?
08:39Yes, that is not going to win when it comes to shoulder blocks.
08:42But, oh, look at that.
08:43That's some creative way back into the ring.
08:46Smooth as silk.
08:48So inventive.
08:51Attacks from so many different angles.
08:54He really is, Oskalo.
08:55He is spectacular.
08:57What an addition to the Don Callis family,
09:00which has just grown from strength to dangerous strength.
09:06Jon Moxley taken a bit by surprise and strange tactics from El Clone.
09:12And Clone showing no urgency, Tony.
09:15He's content to let this match play out.
09:21As you know, with that mask on, you cannot see any facial reactions,
09:24but you can just tell the way he approaches matches that El Clone is...
09:29Oh, God, Lord.
09:31El Clone has just had his head bounce off our announced desk.
09:35Did not take long, fellas, for the action to get down here at ringside.
09:39One can only imagine with the mile-high madness of tonight's main event.
09:44It will only continue.
09:46Seven, eight, nine...
09:48Moxley battering Clone on the outside.
09:52Series of right hands.
09:54And that's what Moxley's got to do.
09:56He's got to make this a brawl, a street fight.
10:01That's the way he's going to keep this to his advantage,
10:04make the match his style.
10:10As we mentioned, this is an eliminator match for the AW Continental Championship.
10:1320-minute time limit.
10:15Though crucially, El Clone, if he goes the distance, the full 20 minutes,
10:18that's a win for him.
10:20He will earn a shot at the title.
10:22But Moxley, lateral press.
10:24Clone able to kick out.
10:26What I was going to say before,
10:27Jon Moxley sent Clone to their broadcast table
10:30is that you can't see the facial reaction,
10:32but you can see the way he paces himself during the match.
10:35That Clone is very, very deliberate,
10:37very confident, and does not get riled up.
10:40Right now, he is trapped in the grip of Jon Moxley,
10:45wrenching.
10:46Vicious submission attempt there.
10:48You can see the right shoulder, the deltoid.
10:52Strong striations.
10:53What a pressure on the AC joint.
10:58El Clone now will do well to try to pick up the pace
11:01as he is just being smothered.
11:06Clone cannot withstand a prolonged firefight
11:10with Jon Moxley, a striking exchange.
11:13Moxley is always going to have the advantage.
11:18The sold-out crowd here in Denver.
11:21Ask and you shall receive from the Continental Champion.
11:24Moxley has twice knocked El Clone off his feet.
11:28El Clone had to hold on the ropes
11:29to prevent from going down on the mat.
11:33Oh, look at that.
11:34He's known for creative offense,
11:37creative evasion as well.
11:39Which we just...
11:40Oh, I know that.
11:43Ducks underneath.
11:45Moxley's shaking.
11:48El Clone changes levels, comes in,
11:51the running elbow strike now.
11:53A flurry and using the tag rope
11:55to choke the champion,
11:57the referee, Paul Turner.
11:59Warning off, El Clone break it.
12:03Kind of ironic.
12:05The crowd here booing El Clone for doing something
12:07that Jon Moxley would have no compunction
12:10in doing himself.
12:12Chop, two from Jon Moxley,
12:15a third.
12:16Clone tucks underneath the waist lock.
12:17Oh, he'll kick in the face
12:20and now Clone.
12:21Front chancery.
12:23Suplex by Clone.
12:29Clone seems to be relishing the booze
12:31in the crowd here in Denver.
12:32Wow.
12:33Great adaption mid-flight
12:36when he realized that Moxley was moving,
12:38landed on his feet
12:39and hit him the second time.
12:41Clone off the barricade,
12:43the moonsault
12:44as our opening contest.
12:46This eliminator match
12:46for the Continental Championship
12:48continues live on Dynamite.
12:53I'm not sure exactly what the time is,
12:54but he's got to be getting up toward
12:56the 10-minute mark,
12:57I would imagine.
12:59And Clone,
12:59I think it's pretty apparent
13:01from what you're seeing right here,
13:03that Clone hurt himself
13:04on that move.
13:05I thought at first he was hurting the knee.
13:07His knees were hurting,
13:08but he's holding his midsection as well.
13:10Come on, Moxley!
13:11Come on, Moxley!
13:11It may have to eat
13:12to the roar
13:13or something,
13:16but now Moxley
13:18against the barricade.
13:20That same position
13:23Clone was in before now.
13:29Battering,
13:30repeatedly battering the champion.
13:36Moxley trying to
13:38get out of range.
13:42A little bit of breathing space,
13:45Moxley,
13:45former AEW world champion,
13:48very controversial,
13:50unorthodox man.
13:54He's the leader of the Death Riders.
13:56He has been a commanding presence.
13:58He has convinced
13:59Wheeler Uta,
14:01and of course,
14:01more recently,
14:02Daniel Garcia
14:03to join his ranks.
14:05That would be the bald
14:07Wheeler Uta by the way,
14:08just to put it into perspective.
14:10What a travesty that was.
14:12What an ignominious exit.
14:16The Wheeler Uta
14:17losing
14:18his beautiful looks.
14:21however long it took him
14:22to grow that hair.
14:23It was all gone
14:24by the time he lost to Australia,
14:26left Australia.
14:28And El Clone
14:29perhaps looking to exploit
14:31the knee injury,
14:33leg injury
14:33that Jon Moxley
14:34suffered
14:36late last year.
14:38And then he carried with him
14:39all throughout the Continental Classic.
14:41And then El Clone
14:43just brawling with Moxley
14:45out on the floor.
14:46I mean,
14:47just not intimidated at all
14:48by the brawling tactics
14:50that have been so successful
14:52for Jon Moxley.
14:54Tony,
14:54I'm surprised by it as well.
14:56I did not expect El Clone
14:58to play Jon Moxley's game tonight,
15:00but he's playing it
15:01and he's winning it thus far.
15:04I think we're just beginning
15:06to see what type of
15:07wrestler El Clone is
15:09on many, many levels,
15:10Excalibur.
15:11And what we're seeing
15:12is very, very good.
15:14Not if you're Jon Moxley.
