00:00:01We saw the unexpected return of Camille.
00:00:05Willow Nightingale seemed to be on the verge
00:00:08of putting out yet another open challenge for the TBS championship,
00:00:12but Camille had no interest in waiting
00:00:15to tangle with Willow Nightingale inside the ring.
00:00:19She attacked Willow.
00:00:21Willow was medically ruled out of action here tonight,
00:00:25but Camille made a successful return on the Dynasty Zero Hour.
00:00:29I'm that, baby.
00:00:34Camille, if you wanted a title shot,
00:00:35if you wanted a fight, all you had to do was ask.
00:00:37Because so many other girls have already learned
00:00:39if you want to make a comeback at my expense,
00:00:42it's not as easy as just blindsiding me.
00:00:45I will kill your comeback before it even gets out of the trail.
00:00:49I may not be 100%,
00:00:52but I will be clear and ever able.
00:00:54So if you want to hop on the welcome wagon,
00:00:57Miss American Gladiator, I'll see you.
00:00:59Spring Breakthrough.
00:01:04Well, Tony Khan has made it official
00:01:06for this special two-night event.
00:01:07This Wednesday, live, 8, 7 central on TBS and HBO Max.
00:01:11Willow Nightingale puts the TBS championship
00:01:13on the line against the returning Camille.
00:01:17But from the TBS championship to the TNT championship,
00:01:22Kyle Fletcher was forced to vacate the title.
00:01:25The new champion will be determined in the casino gauntlet match.
00:01:29It can end at any time,
00:01:31which is why Tommaso Ciampa and Roos at the number one in two spots are so crucial.
00:01:38The world works in mysterious ways.
00:01:41Kyle Fletcher is injured.
00:01:44Kyle Fletcher's loss.
00:01:46The Psycho Killers win.
00:01:47The TNT championship will be decided in a casino gauntlet match at Dynasty.
00:01:53The number one and number two spots are so important because it's a match that can end at any time.
00:01:58If you draw a late number, no guarantee you're going to get out there.
00:02:02You never face somebody like me at Toro Blanco.
00:02:07Roos finds himself one step closer.
00:02:11When you mess with the Bulls, you get the whore.
00:02:14He will have to contend with the Psycho Killer at number one, Tommaso Ciampa.
00:02:21Sylvie, it's time to come home.
00:02:28This is the casino gauntlet match for the vacant TNT championship.
00:02:41Two competitors will start the match.
00:02:44A new competitor will enter at random intervals.
00:02:47The match can end at any point via pinfall or submission.
00:02:50The winner will be declared the new T-AT champion.
00:03:16Well, it's the big shot.
00:03:37Introducing the first entrant from Boston, Massachusetts, weight 218 pounds,
00:03:44the Psycho Killer, Tommaso Ciampa.
00:03:49Introducing the first entrant from Boston, Massachusetts, weight 218 pounds,
00:03:52as the former TNT champion heads to the ring in the number one spot.
00:03:57This casino gauntlet match.
00:03:59In fact, Nigel McGinnis tagging out the American Dragon.
00:04:02Brian Daniels tagging in.
00:04:03We know that we are just a few minutes away from seeing a new TNT champion crowd.
00:04:07Yeah, it's been a great show so far, and I'm excited for this match.
00:04:11It'll be interesting to see who shows up in this TNT championship match.
00:04:16Love the format.
00:04:18I love the fact that a match can end before you can even get a chance to get in the
00:04:21ring
00:04:22if you're waiting in the backstage area.
00:04:24You love it.
00:04:25But the guys on the outside hate it.
00:04:27No, they do.
00:04:29They're just getting a chance to get in the ring.
00:04:31They do it.
00:04:31For Paloadalisco, Mexico, weighing 226 pounds,
00:04:36El Todo Blanco.
00:04:41Rooch!
00:04:47Tommaso Ciampa earned his number one spot by defeating Moscow Adorada this past Wednesday night
00:04:52on collision then less than 24 hours ago.
00:04:54Oh, Roosh defeating Anthony Bowens to claim the number two spot, and we heard Justin Roberts go over the rules.
00:05:04The thing that makes this match so tough, Brian, is that you don't know how many competitors are going to
00:05:12enter the fray,
00:05:13and you don't know when they're coming.
00:05:15The unpredictability is one of the biggest factors is why it's important to end this match early.
00:05:21Yeah, and that's why it's so important for both Ciampa and for Roosh to have won these ball-of-fire
00:05:27matches
00:05:27so they can be one and two, so that, hey, if Roosh can come in here or Ciampa can come
00:05:32in here
00:05:32and get a roll-up in 30 seconds, more power to him.
00:05:38Easier said than done with two heavy hitters like these, Tony.
00:05:42Yeah, it is, and then you think about the fact that once, let's say the match continues now,
00:05:47random intervals, someone else comes in, you've got to stay in the ring.
00:05:52You've got to break up any potential pinning combination that someone else may have.
00:06:02I'm going to be honest, guys.
00:06:03I was stoked when I saw Ciampa was number one and Roosh was number two.
00:06:08Yes, sir, man.
00:06:09These are two hard hitters right here.
00:06:14Both men love intimidation, but neither man will be intimidated,
00:06:18and that's one of the great things about this start-up match.
00:06:23Yeah, and Ciampa, he won the TNT Championship in his first AEW match,
00:06:27but his title reign was cut brutally short when he lost it after 11 days to Kyle Fletcher.
00:06:33He's obviously got a lot of personal motivation coming into this match.
00:06:38He even named the belt.
00:06:39He called it Sylvie.
00:06:40Well, he had it.
00:06:42He felt like that title was a new part of any member of his family.
00:06:48Right now, Roosh and Ciampa team off.
00:06:51Heavy shots being exchanged.
00:06:54Excuse me, Rocky.
00:06:56Are you surprised we have not seen a pinfall attempt or a submission attempt thus far in this match?
00:07:00These two men, a relatively slow start.
00:07:02I'm not surprised from Roosh's perspective.
00:07:05He loves to just batter away at people, but I'm a little surprised by Ciampa.
00:07:10He's a little bit more tactical.
00:07:14I'm surprised he hasn't gone for some sort of roll-up or get some sort of...
00:07:21Rather than just going into this striker shape with Roosh.
00:07:24I mean, I wrestled Roosh one time, and I felt it for months after.
00:07:28I think what has happened here, Brian, is that...
00:07:33What Roosh has done is lured Tommaso into doing the same.
00:07:37Ciampa dropped it back.
00:07:39The trumps of Roosh.
00:07:40Running in from hitting the Roosh.
00:07:42Now Ciampa on the move.
00:07:43Roosh a step quicker.
00:07:44Oh, hand shot.
00:07:47Right between the pectoral muscles.
00:07:49Oh, elbow strike.
00:07:51Roosh changing levels.
00:07:53Caught Ciampa with that one.
00:07:54Yeah, that was right between the ears.
00:07:56In the jaw.
00:08:00Now Roosh driving Ciampa down the corner.
00:08:02It could be.
00:08:03Yeah.
00:08:04Poised to unleash the horns.
00:08:06Tommaso needs to move.
00:08:08That's also Tommaso.
00:08:08Oh, Roosh pulls up short.
00:08:13Kick to the jaw.
00:08:18Roosh, no sense of urgency here.
00:08:21This is surprising, Scott.
00:08:22Well, you're right.
00:08:23Not just surprising.
00:08:25I think it's also a mistake.
00:08:33Ciampa comes in high-boot.
00:08:35Catches Roosh in the jaw.
00:08:36Now Ciampa stomping down El Toro Blanco in the corner.
00:08:41We are witnessing two of literally the toughest men in AEW.
00:08:46I mean, these two guys are as tough and rugged as they come.
00:08:50Ciampa running knee strike.
00:08:53Remember, this match awaits as the clock.
00:08:57There you go.
00:08:58Two, one, three, two.
00:09:11Introducing next third ring of honor world champion, Bandido.
00:09:20Bandido.
00:09:22Not only the current ring of honor world champion, but the former AEW world tag team champion.
00:09:27A man that has crossed paths many times with Roosh.
00:09:30And now a man.
00:09:32He's moving with urgency.
00:09:34He's moving with purpose.
00:09:35The thrust kick.
00:09:37Bandido's got it going, guys.
00:09:38Watch out.
00:09:41Bandido takes flight.
00:09:45Bandido's fired up.
00:09:46He's got one on the outside.
00:09:49He's got one on the inside.
00:09:52Hell, he can win it right now.
00:09:54Launching in with the thrust kick on Roosh.
00:09:56And they're chanting his name.
00:09:58Bandido!
00:09:59Bandido!
00:10:01Bandido!
00:10:02Bandido!
00:10:03Bandido!
00:10:03Bandido!
00:10:04Bandido!
00:10:04Bandido with Roosh in his side.
00:10:06Cannonball.
00:10:07Page out of Brody King's book.
00:10:11All right.
00:10:12Now Bandido's an okay.
00:10:13Let's try to get a win here.
00:10:15Bandido bringing Roosh out of the corner.
00:10:18Quickly springs to the top.
00:10:20Bandido.
00:10:23Bandido!
00:10:23This could be the moment, Brian.
00:10:25This could be it right now.
00:10:26Oh, splash!
00:10:28Bandido won!
00:10:30Tommaso!
00:10:31Ciampa intervenes!
00:10:32I thought he had Ciampa isolated.
00:10:34I thought he didn't think Ciampa could make it back in in time.
00:10:37Great strategy, though, by Bandido.
00:10:40Coming in, going for big moves, going for pins.
00:10:43Well, that...
00:10:44The kick to the knee.
00:10:45Yeah.
00:10:46Disrupted the balance of Tommaso Ciampa and put him in place.
00:10:49Potentially for a 21-plex, but...
00:10:51No!
00:10:52Roosh elbow strike!
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54That time, Tommaso had dropped the knee pad.
00:10:57The exposed knee is how he won the TNT Championship.
00:11:02Bandido hard into the barricade by Roosh.
00:11:05And now...
00:11:07Roosh away.
00:11:08Why not?
00:11:09And Roosh just so dangerous on the floor.
00:11:12Roosh!
00:11:13Roosh!
00:11:13Roosh!
00:11:14But to win this match, he's got to get Bandido into the ring.
00:11:17Roosh has held titles all over the world, including the Ring of Honor world title that Bandido holds right now.
00:11:23He's won three different CMLL World Championships.
00:11:27But Roosh has yet to win a title here in AEW.
00:11:32TNT Championship could be his first, but...
00:11:35As this match progresses, as the ring fills up with opponents...
00:11:42That number one, or the number two advantage for Roosh, Tony, starts to slip away.
00:11:47Yeah, it does.
00:11:48But here's one thing that has to happen.
00:11:50If you are Tommaso Champion, you've got to get in the ring.
00:11:54The match could end with you on the outside.
00:11:55What do we got now?
00:11:59All right!
00:12:02And during the match...
00:12:05Evo!
00:12:07Fight!
00:12:08Beating!
00:12:09Yet another great Canadian competitor!
00:12:13A man who, less than 24 hours ago, was defeated, lost in AEW World Trio's Championship.
00:12:22Could be on the rebound.
00:12:25Oh, no!
00:12:26Speedball takes out Roosh on the floor.
00:12:29A little bit of a misdirection there.
00:12:31I thought he was going for champion in the ring.
00:12:34Speedball is prepared for Ciampa.
00:12:36Not only did that Excalibur, but I think the fatigue factor's got to hit guys who've been in the ring
00:12:41the longest.
00:12:43This is a dropkick.
00:12:44The speedball is fresh, and you can see it.
00:12:48Now, speedball.
00:12:49Quick kick to the midsection.
00:12:51Axe kick between the shoulder blades.
00:12:53Wow.
00:12:54A round kick.
00:12:56Bailey, such great kicks by speedball Mike Bailey.
00:12:59Shooting saw.
00:13:01There you go!
00:13:02One, two, two!
00:13:04Tommaso Ciampa able to kick out.
00:13:06Watch out from behind.
00:13:08Boom!
00:13:12Roosh.
00:13:15Roosh.
00:13:16As dangerous as Roosh is with his hands.
00:13:18Speedball Mike Bailey, maybe more so, with his feet through that Taekwondo background, Brian.
00:13:24Yeah, I agree, but if I were speedball, I wouldn't go chop for chop with him.
00:13:28I'd start kicking.
00:13:29Absolutely.
00:13:29That's a great call, Brian.
00:13:31I would, too.
00:13:33We've got another countdown going on, I do believe.
00:13:36Uh-oh.
00:13:38Oh, Roosh just leveled Bailey with that elbow strike.
00:13:46And boom!
00:13:48It has not been a great night thus far for the Don Callis family.
00:13:52Can't this man change things up?
00:13:55El Clon, the mysterious luchador.
00:13:59Oh, wait a second.
00:14:00Roosh charging up the ramp.
00:14:02Whoa!
00:14:02The clone was prepared, and he just took Roosh down on the ramp.
00:14:07Took Ciampa down on the outside as well.
00:14:14El Clon, Brian, so unpredictable.
00:14:19An orthodox style, his creativity is just nightmares for opponents.
00:14:23Very difficult to prepare for, because he moves so differently from everybody else.
00:14:29I mean, look at that.
00:14:30Cartwheeling around Bandito into what's this?
00:14:33Double under, look.
00:14:34The Bandito able to find his feet.
00:14:37Sweep, kick to the jaw, and now Clone steps over.
00:14:42It's a Bandito, and a knee strike.
00:14:45Well, Clone just wearing Bandito out here.
00:14:48Sent into the ropes.
00:14:50A backbreaker from El Clon.
00:14:53Hell, he can win it now.
00:14:54Now, cover made.
00:14:55Two.
00:14:56Oh!
00:14:57Oh, close.
00:14:58Wow.
00:14:59I don't know who else is planning to get into this.
00:15:01That's one of the great things about it, but they almost ended it right there.
00:15:06Now, the clock counting down, these unpredictable intervals.
00:15:15Can't set your watch by it.
00:15:22He is the Bastard Pack!
00:15:30The Bastard Pack.
00:15:33Bryant has every tool he needs to claim the TNC Championship here tonight.
00:15:39Absolutely, and one of the most dangerous professional wrestlers here at AEW.
00:15:44I mean, look at him.
00:15:46He's terrified.
00:15:48And coming in relatively late in this match, when some of the other competitors are worn down.
00:15:57Pack, coming in the high boot, the side step, German suplex on El Clon.
00:16:03Everything Pack does with such force, such power.
00:16:07Look at this!
00:16:08Bayley, the belly-to-belly suplex.
00:16:11Or belly-to-Bayley suplex, should I say.
00:16:13Sent him in, crashing to the corner.
00:16:15It is really hard to predict in a match like this who is going to win.
00:16:19But I've got to think Pack's got to be one of the favorites for a number of reasons.
00:16:23But brought up the fact that he's fresh, right?
00:16:26Well, he's fresh right now, but we don't know how long this match could go, Tony.
00:16:29We could be here all night claiming to try to crown a new TNT Champion.
00:16:32Whoa!
00:16:33It was a black arrow from the inside out!
00:16:38What body control Pack has!
00:16:42You're looking at one of the most decorated wrestlers in AEW.
00:16:45He could add another title to his lot right now.
00:16:49I'm actually shocked.
00:16:50We saw that from Pack.
00:16:52He's really taken to a more map-based style since he's come back from injury.
00:16:59Now Pack.
00:17:02Taking a look at speedball Mike Bailey, and then a look over his shoulder at the floor.
00:17:08If I were Pack, I'd press the action right now.
00:17:13Bandito.
00:17:15Into the fray.
00:17:20All right, I don't know if anybody's going to work together or not, but it's got to be every man
00:17:24for himself.
00:17:25Title's on the line here.
00:17:27Pack, into the jaw of Bailey.
00:17:29Knee from Bandito.
00:17:31Bandito coming off.
00:17:33Pack steps around, cross kick.
00:17:35Catches Bandito.
00:17:36Pack on the move.
00:17:37Bailey step around.
00:17:40Step up, work on Rana.
00:17:42Bandito one of his own.
00:17:46Kick intercepted.
00:17:48That one wasn't.
00:17:49It was intercepted by the jaw of Bandito.
00:17:51Bailey and Bandito working together to stun the bastard.
00:17:55Right on the jaw, Brian.
00:17:57Both feet.
00:17:59Wow.
00:18:00Beautiful kicks by both men.
00:18:03Uh-oh.
00:18:04Another member of the Death Riders.
00:18:10Daniel Garcia.
00:18:12A former TNT champion.
00:18:15Daniel Garcia could be looking to reclaim what was once his as Garcia over the barricade.
00:18:25Yeah, he's doing the right thing.
00:18:27He got to the ring quickly because you got to.
00:18:30Now underneath Bandito.
00:18:31Backslide.
00:18:32High stack on the cover.
00:18:34Lost control of Bandito, but now has control of the waist lock.
00:18:37O'Connor rolled two.
00:18:39And Bandito kicks out.
00:18:43Garcia rolls up Ciampa.
00:18:47Garcia, a second time, rolls up Ciampa.
00:18:50He's the man that has been moving with the most urgency thus far, Brian.
00:18:54Yeah, I love Garcia's strategy here.
00:18:58And just think, when he was TNT champion, just think of how many people he pinned with that jackknife pin.
00:19:09Wasting a little bit of time there.
00:19:10El Clon takes advantage.
00:19:12Clon.
00:19:13With Garcia.
00:19:14Elevated Garcia.
00:19:15Inside.
00:19:16Right all.
00:19:17Two.
00:19:17No.
00:19:18Clon.
00:19:19Shifts it.
00:19:20Both men going for it.
00:19:22The legs are intertwined.
00:19:24Neither man can flatten their opponent's shoulders.
00:19:27Well, Garcia does and almost took it.
00:19:32Let's not forget, this is not an elimination-type battle royal at all.
00:19:36Every man is still in this match.
00:19:38It's not a battle royal.
00:19:40It's a gauntlet match.
00:19:40It's first pinfall or submission crowns the next TNT champion.
00:19:48But I see him and Pat working together here.
00:19:53Not surprising from the two Death Riders in this match.
00:19:56Oh!
00:19:57Pat.
00:19:58Kicks to the body, to the jaws.
00:20:01Sites a suplex.
00:20:05Well, Daniel Garcia.
00:20:06We got seven men in this match already.
00:20:10Seven.
00:20:11Let's see who else.
00:20:14The ring will continue to fill.
00:20:18Anthony Bowens.
00:20:20Well, you know what?
00:20:21He didn't win his match last night.
00:20:24He's got another shot here.
00:20:27It was not a dream denied, perhaps just a dream delayed for Anthony Bowens.
00:20:31He wanted to enter at the number two spot, but coming in at number eight tonight, Bowens.
00:20:38Oh!
00:20:38Avoids the shot from Bandido.
00:20:40Leaps up and over.
00:20:42Now takes the side headlock.
00:20:44Bowens.
00:20:45Off the ropes.
00:20:47Hurdles.
00:20:49Bandido kick to the midsection.
00:20:52And over the top with the Famouser.
00:20:59Bowens celebrates with El Clon.
00:21:02Into the match.
00:21:03Into the ring.
00:21:06Bowens' way set.
00:21:06And drives him down face first.
00:21:08Gentlemen, this match is great.
00:21:11One of these men is going to be crowned the TNT champ.
00:21:14It could be anybody.
00:21:17Obviously.
00:21:18I would think you've got to stay in the ring.
00:21:20Right?
00:21:24Bailey.
00:21:25Now the kick caught at Bowens.
00:21:29Quick succession of attacks on the knees of speedball Mike Bailey.
00:21:32Now the Bastard Pack and Anthony Bowens locking eyes.
00:21:41Yeah, Bowens had a great match versus Mons a couple of weeks ago.
00:21:44He really pushed the Continental Champion to the limit in that eliminator match.
00:21:48So you know he won't back down from Pack.
00:21:50And he's not!
00:21:52Bowens, he's been trying to prove that he has the killer instinct that would make him a good fit for
00:21:56the Ops.
00:21:57You know, he and Hook have had some conversations as of late.
00:22:00Bowens.
00:22:01Could the TNT Championship be what it would take?
00:22:05Smokes.
00:22:06The DDT to cover.
00:22:08And now Ciampa there to break it off.
00:22:11Ciampa saved it that time, Brian.
00:22:13Saved it.
00:22:16Tony, you talked about needing to be in the ring to win this match.
00:22:19And I do think that that's important.
00:22:21But for people like Ciampa and Roosh who have been in this match from the very beginning,
00:22:24I think it's actually smart sometimes to take a rest out on the floor.
00:22:29You see Ciampa, he's bleeding from his forehead.
00:22:31Right.
00:22:31But that allows you to survey what's happening inside the ring and break up pins just like we saw right
00:22:37now.
00:22:37That's a great point.
00:22:39The Jet Pivot Knight!
00:22:43Like Speedball, Mike Bailey, the Jet, Kevin Knight, one-third of the former AEW World Trio Champions has a big
00:22:51opportunity here.
00:22:54A boy and Roosh and Clip Ciampa on the charge down the ramp.
00:22:59Oh, but Roosh came back with that elbow strike.
00:23:02We've got two teammates, two teams basically in here.
00:23:06Jet speed and members of the Death Riders.
00:23:11Knight elevates up and over and triangle moonsault from Speedball, Mike Bailey.
00:23:19Don't look now, but there are Death Riders somewhere hovering.
00:23:24Look in the ring.
00:23:27Here are two great teams.
00:23:29Only one person can win this match.
00:23:31That's exactly right.
00:23:37Shelvin' match turns into strikes.
00:23:41Wild flurry of blows on both sides.
00:23:44Need the midsection of Garcia and pack.
00:23:47Reversal, though, by Knight and Bailey.
00:23:51Death Riders sent out to the floor.
00:23:56Jet speed soaring over Vancouver.
00:24:02Nobody in the ring right now.
00:24:05Nobody in the ring, but the partners with their eye each other.
00:24:10Locked eyes were across the ring and then realized it might come down to themselves to determine who leads with
00:24:15the TNT Championship tonight.
00:24:17Why not?
00:24:17Oh, Daniel Garcia spoiled all back.
00:24:22Swimped on the leg.
00:24:24Kevin Knight takes Bailey off the apron and now Anthony Bowens.
00:24:30He's now covered.
00:24:31Leg is hooked by Bowens.
00:24:36Bowens.
00:24:37Roush picking up away left off Les Smythe hammering Anthony Bowens.
00:24:42Roush has just been brutal in this match.
00:24:45He has.
00:24:46Any time he gets the opportunity when somebody new comes out, you see him rushing up the ramp, trying to
00:24:51attack him before they can even get in the ring.
00:24:55And he's been in this from the very beginning.
00:24:58And it goes back to that point you brought up, Brian, the fact you could stay on the outside, break
00:25:03up a pin, maybe take a respite on the outside.
00:25:07Roush delivered the horns to Bowens last night and did so again, but it was called the Diving Sox Tampa.
00:25:18Oh, Tampa drives down Clone, makes the cover.
00:25:231-2-0, Bandido.
00:25:2621 points.
00:25:31Oh, I love it.
00:25:33Oh, we got another countdown.
00:25:41Which one is next?
00:25:44Oh, my God.
00:25:50Three Death Riders in this match to determine a TNT champion.
00:25:55Before long, we could see a force in Claudio Castagnoli.
00:26:00Yes, sir.
00:26:01If this match does not end quickly.
00:26:04Come on, Kevin.
00:26:08There he goes.
00:26:30There he goes.
00:26:35Oh, Bandido going over the top and wiped out the pile on the floor.
00:26:40Oh, fan stand and cheer for that.
00:26:47Remember, one man will be crowned the new TNT champ.
00:26:52And the match, the pinfaller submission has to happen inside the ring, right?
00:26:58It's Tommaso Ciampa and Kevin Knight up on the ropes.
00:27:04Jockey in for position.
00:27:05Jockey in for position.
00:27:07Tampas going to try to suplex him on the floor.
00:27:09Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:14Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:27:16Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:17Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:19And in the middle of that, Pack returning speedball Mike Bailey for the ring.
00:27:22Pack didn't get hit at all.
00:27:24Right, that's a great call.
00:27:26And he threw, he threw his speedball right into the, into the ring.
00:27:29Pack to the top.
00:27:32Could be moments away from claiming the TNT Championship.
00:27:36Blurps, arrow, one, two.
00:27:40No, Ciampa.
00:27:44Ciampa now covers.
00:27:47That's Willie Ura, Bill, that Pack.
00:27:51Keeping the Death Riders hopes alive of claiming the TNT Championship.
00:27:55That's right.
00:27:55Three Death Riders still in it.
00:27:58Daniel Garcia.
00:28:02The Dragon Tamer.
00:28:06Daniel Garcia thinks he's got it.
00:28:09Speedball Mike Bailey making the army crawl to the ropes.
00:28:12Garcia drags him back towards center.
00:28:15And Garcia.
00:28:16And he's bleeding from the nose.
00:28:18Garcia wrenching back.
00:28:19Speedball in trouble here, about to tap.
00:28:21No!
00:28:22With the UFO Splash!
00:28:25One, two, three!
00:28:29Oh, Kevin, Kevin Knight!
00:28:32The winner of this match and new TNT Champion,
00:28:41The champion for the champ!
00:28:45Kevin Knight!
00:28:48Kevin Knight!
00:28:49How about the champs!
00:28:51What a 24 hours!
00:28:54For Kevin Knight from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs.
00:28:59Now claiming the TNT Championship.
00:29:04for the very first time.
00:29:08It goes back to Brian, what we were talking about.
00:29:12Match like this, anybody can win it.
00:29:15I don't know if we overlooked Kevin Knight or not,
00:29:19but how about the young man and his big win?
00:29:22Yeah, huge win for Kevin Knight.
00:29:25I think that goes to show in matches like that in this.
00:29:28Submissions aren't necessarily optimal.
00:29:31I mean, Garcia had that submission sunk in,
00:29:34but Kevin Knight was able to go up, hit that splash,
00:29:37and now he is the TNT champion.
00:29:43But importantly, he did so while his tag team partner,
00:29:47Feeball Mike Bailey, was locked in that submission by Garcia.
00:29:51Remains to be seen how that will affect the relationship
00:29:54between those two men, but congratulations to the Jets,
00:29:58Kevin Knight.
00:30:01And now we turn our attention to the AEW Women's World Championship.
00:30:06Jamie Hayter, the former champion,
00:30:08wants nothing more than revenge on the toxic spider.
00:30:11The AEW Women's World Champion, Tekla.
00:30:18Tekla just leveled Jamie Hayter.
00:30:21When I arrived in AEW,
00:30:23the first woman I took out was you.
00:30:25The kingdom has changed since you ruled.
00:30:27The only reason you touched this is because I wasn't here.
00:30:31But now that I'm here, you're never going to touch this again.
00:30:35Tekla.
00:30:35Someone so small, you have an awfully big mouth.
00:30:39A mouth you want like nobody can handle.
00:30:42But you kept on coming back.
00:30:45He's got those brass knuckles.
00:30:47Tekla just got dropped.
00:30:48So now I'm done playing games.
00:30:51I am done having a good time.
00:30:54If I beat you once,
00:30:56I'll do it again.
00:30:58The Dynasty,
00:30:59you're going to be the dumbest bitch
00:31:02dead.
00:31:17Your turn, mate.
00:31:28You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:34You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:37You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:38You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:38You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:38You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:40You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:40You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:41You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:41You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:42You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:45You're going to be the dumbest bitch.
00:31:52This is just a little ball, basically being in a time limit, this is for the AEW, who wins the
00:32:00World Championship!
00:32:03If you're interested in the tournament, we'll talk back to the Eagles, Shady Hayter!
00:32:14Jamie Hayter's back, team partner Alex Windsor was successful against Marina Shafir.
00:32:20Earlier tonight, the Dynasty Zero Hour, can the Balling Birds make it two for two here tonight?
00:32:26Can Jamie Hayter become a two-time AEW Women's World Champion?
00:32:32We are on the verge of finding out, but Brian, this is one of the matches tonight that are about
00:32:36much more than just championships.
00:32:39Absolutely. I mean, Tekla, when she debuted in AEW, the first thing she did is she came down and elbowed
00:32:47Jamie Hayter in a way that Jamie Hayter had to take 45 days off from in-ring competition.
00:32:55There's a lot of, and there's been even more heat between those two since that time.
00:33:07Tony, when Jamie Hayter held the AEW Women's World Championship for the first time, she was a great champion, a
00:33:12great representative of the company.
00:33:15Tekla, you know, seems to go about her business in a much different way than Jamie Hayter.
00:33:19There is no one in the Women's Division more bizarre and as successful as this young lady right here.
00:33:27Since she arrived from stardom, she has made a great impact on the Women's Division and now is on top.
00:33:37And her opponent, champion of Austria, she is the AEW Women's World Champion, the Toxic Spider, Tekla!
00:33:58Blanked by the fellow members of the Triangle Madness, Julia Hart and Sky Blue, the Toxic Spider, Tekla arrives from
00:34:05the promotion stardom in Japan, Tony.
00:34:07I think it's an important distinction to point out because Tekla was fired from that promotion for attacking the president
00:34:15of the company, physically attacking the president of stardom.
00:34:19Yeah, she's, listen, she's a freak. She is. She's, she's a freaky woman who knows how to wrestle.
00:34:28Jamie Hayter is standing in the corner. There you see Hayter, not letting all this bother her at all.
00:34:36She's pointing something out to the referee. I don't know what that is.
00:34:40I think Jamie Hayter's ready to start this match, to ring the bell.
00:34:45But here at Koenig Scalibur, when you talk about Tekla attacking the stardom president, Tekla's just so great at creating
00:34:54chaos and that's what's, that's what makes it so hard to pin her down.
00:34:59She has no problem breaking the rules. She beat Mina with brass knuckles. She beat Statlander with help from the
00:35:05Sisters of Sin.
00:35:08Very much an agent of chaos, Brian, and somebody that when confusion, when chaos reigns, Tekla is prepared to take
00:35:17advantage and she has done exactly that during her quick ascent to the top of the women's division in all
00:35:23elite wrestling.
00:35:24For Jamie Hayter, only two other women have won the women's world title multiple times and that's Toni Storm and
00:35:30Hikaru Shida.
00:35:32If Jamie Hayter can win it, she'll be the third to do so.
00:35:35Let's not forget that she suffered an injury that sidelined her for 15 months after she lost the world title
00:35:43back in 2023.
00:35:46It was a lengthy layoff due to injury for Jamie Hayter.
00:35:49That's what, with 15 months on the shelf, Brian, any time that you have a layoff due to injury, it's,
00:35:55it's, it's heartbreaking to you because you wonder,
00:35:58is the, uh, the sands in the hourglass of my career, are they, are they, are they running out faster
00:36:03than I would like?
00:36:05And wait a second, Hayter now, the high boot and the right hands. Tekla didn't even look like she was
00:36:11defending herself for a moment.
00:36:12As Hayter applying pressure to the Toxic Spider, swing and a miss.
00:36:17And oh, the spear from Tekla!
00:36:21A very fast start to this match as Tekla now rolls through.
00:36:27As Hayter all tied up, Jamie Hayter.
00:36:31A desperate struggle by Jamie Hayter to make it to the bottom rope to force the break from the referee,
00:36:36Stephon Smith.
00:36:38Tekla holding on as long as she could until Stephon Smith called for the break.
00:36:44But Brian, I was going to say, that 15-month layoff is, I mean, that could be why Jamie Hayter
00:36:48feels that, that 45-day layoff that Tekla imposed on her after that attack.
00:36:54Feels it so keen though.
00:36:56Yeah, and I mean, especially after she had won the Women's World Championship.
00:37:00She was on top of the world, and I've been there.
00:37:03You get hurt, you don't know when you're going to be able to come back, you don't know if you'll
00:37:07ever be the same.
00:37:10As Tekla.
00:37:11Now Jamie Hayter against a barricade, raining down right hands on the challenger.
00:37:16And right now, Jamie Hayter has no defense at all, just flailing arms.
00:37:19Can not cover a ball.
00:37:21She got a double axe handle in there.
00:37:24Hayter waited for Tekla to turn her attention away from the challenger.
00:37:29Now Jamie Hayter raining down right's Tekla.
00:37:33Big dazed.
00:37:34You saw how her head was drooping, Tony.
00:37:36Absolutely.
00:37:37Now Jamie turns her attention away.
00:37:39I think Jamie's got to, there you go.
00:37:40I got to get right back to the punishment, right back to the offense, Brian.
00:37:44Stay with it.
00:37:46That's smart.
00:37:47You know, between these two women, I think most would say Jamie Hayter has the power advantage here.
00:37:53Just has such tremendous strikes.
00:37:55If I were Tekla, I wouldn't want to go toe-to-toe with punches.
00:38:00The thing about Tekla, though, is her legs are so powerful.
00:38:02She can generate so much speed and force in a relatively small distance.
00:38:08That's what makes her spear so devastating.
00:38:12Jamie Hayter, snap suplex, now cover.
00:38:14One, two.
00:38:15And to your point, Excalibur.
00:38:17When she took Jamie Hayter out for those 45 days, it was just with an elbow smash.
00:38:23I mean, she generates a lot of power, and especially for her size, both with her kicks, with her elbows.
00:38:29Hayter, the near leg is hooked. Tekla able to kick out.
00:38:32And Brian, we talk about sometimes, not sometimes, most of the time, the most devastating shots, the shots that can
00:38:39really put the lights out, are the ones you don't see coming.
00:38:43Tekla had that advantage on Jamie Hayter when she dropped her with that elbow strike.
00:38:47Yeah, and I mean, that's one of the things Tekla does best.
00:38:51She attacks her opponents from so many unique angles.
00:38:54She has exceptional movement to get into those positions.
00:38:57So, anything Jamie Hayter can do to limit Tekla's mobility, I think, would be really beneficial.
00:39:03I wouldn't be opposed to Jamie Hayter to go after Tekla's legs, to just limit some of those unique angles
00:39:09that Tekla attacks from.
00:39:12Well, this fight on the outside is not going to help Jamie Hayter at all.
00:39:16And Kata, obviously, Tekla retains the championship.
00:39:20And it looked like Jamie was kind of reluctant to go outside anyway.
00:39:25I don't know, I mean, she is part of a tag team called the Brawling Birds.
00:39:29She does love to brawl.
00:39:32A little vertical suit with a Jamie Hayter.
00:39:35Showing her power, walking up the ramp with the champion.
00:39:39Tekla down to her feet, but Hayter.
00:39:42A pair of shots and now Hayter.
00:39:44Here we go.
00:39:46Oh no, Tekla, again, trying to fight this off.
00:39:50It's dangerous territory for both champion and challenger alike.
00:39:53Yeah, I'm worried about the count here.
00:39:56Oh no, Tekla a third time to her feet, ducks underneath Hayter.
00:40:00And Tekla, kick to the midsection.
00:40:04Tekla DDT on the top of the ramp.
00:40:06Look at the swing she got on that, using the legs.
00:40:08Great move by Tekla.
00:40:11Now, gentlemen, we have crowned a new TNT champ.
00:40:15We could have a new women's champion and more when we start spring breakout.
00:40:21Coming up Wednesday on TBS live from Seattle.
00:40:25And then the following night, that's right, back to back, on a Thursday night spring breakout on TNT.
00:40:31On collision.
00:40:32Special two night presentation this Wednesday on TBS and HBO Max.
00:40:37And this Thursday, 8-7 Central on TNT and HBO Max for dynamite and collision spring breakthrough.
00:40:46As you can see, Tekla feeling very good right now.
00:40:51Tekla just stepping over her challenger, the former AEW Women's World Champion.
00:40:56Every Stephon Smith doing a good job, Bryan.
00:40:59And my estimation of using his discretion here tonight, not being super strict on the 10 count.
00:41:05Yeah, he's a great referee.
00:41:08Stephon Smith doing a great job of this match.
00:41:10Oh, ho, ho.
00:41:12Because I don't think anybody wants to see this match end in a count out.
00:41:15You know, and I agree with that, guys.
00:41:17I never did like the count out rule.
00:41:19I like referee's discretion.
00:41:20I think he's doing a great job.
00:41:22Because these women have beaten each other up on the outside, no doubt.
00:41:26Look at this.
00:41:27Tekla taking a massive risk, flying from the top rope to the floor.
00:41:33And Jamie Hayter, we caught a look at how heavily taped her neck is underneath that hair of hers.
00:41:40That landing on the outside, Bryan, doing Hayter no favors with that neck injury.
00:41:44That's one of the most brutal cross-bodies to the floor I've seen in quite a while as far as
00:41:48the impact that the person taking the move has had on the floor.
00:41:53And you see that Kinesio tape over Jamie Hayter's neck.
00:41:57Oh, that boot right to the face.
00:41:59Tekla so great with her feet.
00:42:02Great with her feet, so great with the timing.
00:42:06The AEW Women's World Champion waited until Hayter was just about to duck her head through the ropes, Tony.
00:42:11Yeah, just perfect timing, absolutely.
00:42:14You talk about, Bryan, the different angles that she comes from.
00:42:17She being Tekla.
00:42:18And now, Tekla.
00:42:20God, she hit hard.
00:42:22And remember that 15-month layoff was due to a back injury.
00:42:25Right.
00:42:25As Hayter, her spine struck the mat, or struck the corner bead of the ring apron on the way out.
00:42:33Yeah, Jamie just flopping on the floor now.
00:42:36All she can do here.
00:42:37Pull herself up.
00:42:39And sense the frustration radiating off the former AEW Women's World Champion.
00:42:45Not sure if she was clutching her arm close to her body or perhaps a rib injury, but either way,
00:42:52she's looking bad for the challenger, Bryan.
00:42:55The thing's not looking great.
00:42:57I mean, you think about her lower back.
00:42:59You think about her neck.
00:43:01Tekla looks to be in such a dominant position right now in this match.
00:43:05But if I'm Tekla, I take advantage of this right now.
00:43:10Jamie Hayter's not somebody who's going to stay down for long.
00:43:13Absolutely.
00:43:13Try to get the elbow.
00:43:14Look at that elbow.
00:43:15Like right now, Bryan.
00:43:17You're right.
00:43:19Hayter.
00:43:20And Tekla, oh, exchanging.
00:43:22And Tekla takes Hayter off her feet.
00:43:24But that's the power that I'm talking about for a woman who's relatively small in comparison
00:43:29to a lot of the women in this division.
00:43:31Tekla just creates so much power.
00:43:35It's the legs, the hip, the core of Tekla that allow her to generate so much torque
00:43:41and so much force on those strikes.
00:43:43Now Tekla, cover, but Hayter.
00:43:48And I would say this about Tekla, too.
00:43:50It seems like she never gets tired.
00:43:53Look at her just point at Jamie Hayter's mouth.
00:43:59And now with Hayter, locked up, wrenching at the mouth of Jamie Hayter.
00:44:08Jamie's still fighting.
00:44:09How about that?
00:44:10Just trying to get a blow in as Tekla was trying to get to her feet.
00:44:13Love that fighting spirit.
00:44:15Of course, brawling birds.
00:44:17Right, Bryan?
00:44:18Yeah.
00:44:19As tough as both women, Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor, we saw how tough she was in that
00:44:24match with Marina Safir earlier tonight.
00:44:26Oh, but look at Tekla.
00:44:28Tekla dropped Jamie Hayter with a slap.
00:44:31Ha!
00:44:33And now, Hayter brought back up to her feet.
00:44:36No, breaks free.
00:44:37Tekla underneath.
00:44:41And now, Tekla the toxic spider has Jamie Hayter in her web.
00:44:47Wow.
00:44:52Hayter trapped center of the ring.
00:44:54Long way to go for the ropes.
00:44:56She was reaching for it, but Tekla, and Tekla also wrenching at the fingers.
00:45:01Right.
00:45:01I mean, you can visibly see the damage that this is doing to Jamie Hayter's shoulder.
00:45:07Now, Jamie's up.
00:45:09Taking some great core strength to get, raise up and get towards the ropes.
00:45:14And Bryan, every time Tekla wrenches on the fingers and the wrist of Jamie Hayter,
00:45:20it allows Tekla to control which direction Hayter is facing.
00:45:23Yeah, it's a lever.
00:45:24And you also see with her legs around Jamie Hayter's neck, her ability to control that.
00:45:30With the kinesio tape, you wonder, too, about some of the nerve pain going down Jamie Hayter's arm.
00:45:39Tekla backs off and measures.
00:45:42Oh!
00:45:42Whoa!
00:45:44I think Jamie's head's in the front row.
00:45:46Holy smokes!
00:45:50Tekla connects with that kick.
00:45:54I'm surprised it didn't knock Jamie Wright's smack dab out, to be honest with you.
00:45:59Hayter, no, breaks free, head butt.
00:46:03Catching Tekla square on the jaw, but Hayter,
00:46:06slow to capitalize.
00:46:09After that boot to the face, I'm not surprised.
00:46:12Jamie Hayter, suplex on the apron!
00:46:20That was a desperation suplex by Jamie Hayter.
00:46:25And no surprise that we are witnessing this level of physicality,
00:46:30least of all because the AEW Women's World Championship funds on the line,
00:46:33but because of the animosity between both champion and challenger elect.
00:46:37That's a great point.
00:46:39Animosity will bring out physicality.
00:46:41We've seen it so far many times here tonight.
00:46:47Stephon Smith up to nine now.
00:46:50Tekla into the ring, as is Jamie Hayter.
00:46:57As Hayter struggling to move forward, but Tekla, the first to charge.
00:47:05Both women gripping each other by the backs of the neck.
00:47:09By their hair.
00:47:11Oh, wow.
00:47:13Great counter strike by Jamie Hayter.
00:47:14Tekla was winding up.
00:47:16Hayter caught her early.
00:47:18A second one.
00:47:21One thing about Tekla's elbow strikes is she has to rear so far back.
00:47:25Yeah.
00:47:26For her to generate that power.
00:47:28Jamie Hayter was able to counter.
00:47:31Open-handed shot.
00:47:32You can hear it.
00:47:35Hayter caught Tekla flush twice in a row.
00:47:39First with a headbutt.
00:47:40Then the Lariat.
00:47:41Tekla back up to her feet and driven down almost immediately.
00:47:44On the hammer throw.
00:47:45Into the rotator, the high boot.
00:47:50The advantage that Tekla was able to create for herself, Bryan.
00:47:55Dissipating quite quickly because of the heavy hitting of Jamie Hayter.
00:47:59Yeah, Jamie Hayter's arguably one of the heaviest hitters in the AW women's division.
00:48:06And those strikes, especially those clotheslines, those lariats, are especially brutal.
00:48:13Jamie Hayter, one of only two women to pin Tekla.
00:48:18Tekla.
00:48:19During Tekla's AEW career.
00:48:23And it was the likewise, similarly strong.
00:48:26Kristine lander but the Liger bomb!
00:48:29Two!
00:48:30No!
00:48:31Really surprised Tekla got out of that.
00:48:33I think you can see Jamie Hayter is as well.
00:48:36On the little surprise, Jamie Hayter didn't use her feet to cover Tekla's arms.
00:48:40I think that's what allowed Tekla to kick out.
00:48:46But you have to wonder where Jamie Hayter's wits are.
00:48:50I mean, she's been hitting the head so many times in this match, including that snap DDT on the apron.
00:49:02Two!
00:49:24Oh!
00:49:25God damn!
00:49:27Jamie Hader grabbed her as the spider was going to walk around the ring.
00:49:34You've seen how effectively Tekla has been able to use that back bridge, Brian.
00:49:40Jamie Hader was ready for it that time.
00:49:42Great counter by Jamie Hader.
00:49:44Great studying of her opponent as well.
00:49:53Hader now heading up to the top.
00:49:58Albeit a step slower due to the physicality in this match.
00:50:05Just reach up and hit her to the side of the head.
00:50:08I mean, Tekla looks out of it as well.
00:50:12What a great overhand slap that was.
00:50:16Hader.
00:50:17It was like a rabid punch, Tony, to the back of the head.
00:50:20Yeah, and look at that.
00:50:22It's almost as if Tekla says, hit me again.
00:50:26Tekla, the overhooks on the arms, now biting the overbody of Jamie Hader.
00:50:32And then an elbow strike has Hader stunned in the ropes.
00:50:34Yeah, just rifling in that elbow strike.
00:50:37That was a vampire move for crying out loud.
00:50:41Whoa.
00:50:42Whoa.
00:50:42Spider suplex from the AEW Women's World Champion.
00:50:49And the way Jamie Hader landed was right on her lower back.
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:58Now Tekla finds her place on the top-diving stomp to the upper shoulders of Jamie Hader.
00:51:09And she's using that Kinesio tape as a target as Tekla came running in for the stomp.
00:51:15Hader.
00:51:16Good God.
00:51:17That was a hell of a kick.
00:51:18And so was that.
00:51:22Roundhouse shot by Tekla.
00:51:24Hader.
00:51:25She was vertical for a moment, but now two.
00:51:28And no, Hader.
00:51:32Still with something left.
00:51:34Very lax cover by Tekla.
00:51:37I'm surprised about that.
00:51:39I think after those kick sprints, she really thought that Hader was out.
00:51:43I think so, too.
00:51:44Yeah, and she made a mistake, and she knows it.
00:51:55Tekla, this is typically the prelude to that devastating spear she likes to unleash.
00:52:00Where Jamie can barely pull herself up.
00:52:02Watch out, Jamie, when you...
00:52:03Watch out!
00:52:06Tekla springs forward.
00:52:08Hader, oh, the knee caught Tekla on the way in.
00:52:10And now the back breaker.
00:52:14Jamie Hayter moving with purpose.
00:52:18Jamie's going for the Hayterade!
00:52:20Over the hook now.
00:52:21Tekla hoisted up by Hayter.
00:52:25Center of the ring.
00:52:26Tekla rakes the eyes of Hayter.
00:52:29And now the roll-up one, two, and the bridge balance.
00:52:33Let's hit the...
00:52:36And the still AEW Women's World Champion, the toxic fighter, Tekla!
00:52:50Referee Stephon Smith, his eyes were on the shoulders of Jamie Hayter.
00:52:55With the last possible moment, Tekla grabbing off to that bottom rope to retain the AEW Women's World Championship.
00:53:04Alex Windsor down to protest the decision.
00:53:07Well, Alex Windsor is right.
00:53:10But obviously nothing she can do about her right now.
00:53:13I don't think.
00:53:14Wait a minute.
00:53:15Now, Tony, the referee's determination.
00:53:17It is final.
00:53:19Okay.
00:53:20Yeah, and right now the argument goes on as the sisters have since celebrated on the outside.
00:53:29Well, Jamie Hayter obviously upset at the decision.
00:53:33But Tekla remains the AEW Women's World Champion.
00:53:42Up next, the AEW Continental Championship is on the line.
00:53:47But there is so much more at stake between Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley.
00:53:59My God, they're going to try to end this man's career.
00:54:05We may have just witnessed the end of Will Ospreay's career.
00:54:09We play f***ing games.
00:54:11This game just keeps on going.
00:54:15Will Ospreay!
00:54:16Back for blood!
00:54:19I don't need a weapon to snatch someone's neck.
00:54:23I could do it with my bare f***ing hands.
00:54:27This isn't personal for me, Will.
00:54:29Don't make it personal.
00:54:30I am done hearing anything from your mouth.
00:54:34I just want your neck.
00:54:35Put the Continental title on the line, you little bitch.
00:54:40I do not stand between a person and the consequences of their actions.
00:54:46I'm not going to beat Will Ospreay.
00:54:48He's going to beat himself.
00:54:51I'm going to come at you with six months of anger.
00:54:55You have completely altered my life, mate.
00:54:57I'm going to snap your f***ing neck off.
00:55:00I'm going to beat you out just for you.
00:55:04One day, I will go down.
00:55:06It will not be a dynasty.
00:55:09Will Ospreay will get exactly what he asked for.
00:55:36I'm going to beat you.
00:55:41It's using this from yesterday's weight, 225 pounds, the Aeolus, Jack, Will Ostrang!
00:55:59Will Ostrang with a chance to claim the Continental Championship and a measure of revenge on Jon Moxley.
00:56:07The intense ire between these two men cannot be understated.
00:56:14To think that Jon Moxley at Forbidden Door last year nearly ended the career of Will Ostrang with a vicious
00:56:20neck injury.
00:56:22Ostrang has made it his personal mission tonight for retribution, but also revenge.
00:56:27This is an eye for an eye, a neck for a neck.
00:56:30It's a Continental Championship match, however, meaning no Death Riders, no United Empire.
00:56:36Just two men, neither standing in the way of action, only consequences.
00:56:50The one and only Rene Paquette.
00:56:52I want to tell you, Brian, you know Jon Moxley as well as anybody.
00:56:57Jon Moxley feels, from what we've seen and heard, that he has Will Ostrang right where he wants him right
00:57:03now.
00:57:03I mean, his confidence is bringing.
00:57:05Is that a facade, or does he really feel that way?
00:57:10I mean, I think Jon Moxley always feels that way.
00:57:13You know, the interesting thing about Jon Moxley this whole time, Will Ospreay's come back with fire in his eyes.
00:57:20He wants revenge.
00:57:21And Mox has repeatedly said, this isn't personal to him.
00:57:45And his opponent, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weight 231 pounds.
00:57:51He is the AEW Continental Champion, Jon Moxley.
00:58:06Gentlemen, I don't know if either of you caught it, but when Rene Paquette was about to deliver her ringside
00:58:12report, Will Ospreay stopped in his tracks and gave a glance over to Rene Paquette.
00:58:16It's not a fact that we play up often, but it's not a big secret either that Jon Moxley and
00:58:22Rene Paquette are married.
00:58:24They're parents.
00:58:25And Will Ospreay could have been thinking about what he is about to do to Rene Paquette's husband in this
00:58:38match to gain revenge.
00:58:39Well, yeah, Will Ospreay, you know, one of the things that he wasn't so much as upset that Mox heard
00:58:47him, but the way that he did it and where he did it.
00:58:52Will Ospreay said that Mox snapped his neck in front of his countrymen, in front of his friends, in front
00:58:59of his fiancee, in front of his kid, and in front of his mother.
00:59:03And that's something that he won't ever forget.
00:59:06And I know that Will Ospreay wants to snap Jon Moxley's neck tonight, and if he does so, it'll be
00:59:14right in front of his wife.
00:59:21AEW Continental Championship on the line.
00:59:24Referee Paul Turner drawing the assignment for this match.
00:59:29No wonder ringside, 20-minute time limit.
00:59:34And it is for that title, but so much more.
00:59:40You know, these matches, so incredible.
00:59:42Now we have side interference.
00:59:44Here comes the bill.
00:59:46Hit and blind immediately!
00:59:50And look at that, he didn't try to cover him!
01:00:10How long have I got?
01:00:12How long have I got?
01:00:12How long have I got?
01:00:13Ospreay.
01:00:13It's time to R.A.
01:00:15I've got time!
01:00:15I've got time!
01:00:17I've got time!
01:00:18I've got time!
01:00:26I've got time!
01:00:27Ospreay, about 19 and a half minutes to do what he wants to Jon Moxley.
01:00:34Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay!
01:00:37Ospreay, second!
01:00:39Second hidden blade!
01:00:47You know Will Ospreay thought about this moment for a long time, guys.
01:00:51Yeah, I mean, he's sad.
01:00:55The difference between me and you talking about Mox is that I don't need a weapon to break someone's neck.
01:01:01I can do it with my bare hands.
01:01:03Hey!
01:01:04Jon Moxley.
01:01:05That landed.
01:01:06Five consecutive paradigm shifts.
01:01:09And oh!
01:01:10Then wrapped that chair around the neck of Will Ospreay.
01:01:13As we take a look at the very first hidden blade that began this match,
01:01:18and then the second one as Moxley already bloodied from the mouth.
01:01:22Oh, yes, Martin.
01:01:23No strikes, but...
01:01:25Brian, in the past, Moxley would wrap that chair around someone's head.
01:01:29Yeah, Will!
01:01:30Hold on a second, Ospreay.
01:01:32Up to the top and a strike to the back of the neck!
01:01:35In the past, the chair would be wrapped around the head.
01:01:39And Moxley, he would send Claudio Castagnoli to do the dirty work.
01:01:43That night in London last year, it was Jon Moxley himself.
01:01:49That took out Will Ospreay.
01:01:51Yeah, I'm well aware of the way Jon Moxley operates.
01:01:55Usually, he likes...
01:01:56Ooh, Will Ospreay.
01:01:58Will Ospreay has to be...
01:01:59Has to be wary of Jon Moxley's submission skills.
01:02:03A triangle, but Ospreay strong.
01:02:05Tremendous strength!
01:02:06Powerbomb down!
01:02:07The Continental Champion.
01:02:08Yeah, Will Ospreay cannot let up at all, and he knows that.
01:02:13I don't know if he does, Tony.
01:02:15Really?
01:02:15When he hit those hidden blades, I mean, he took so much time.
01:02:22And you can't...
01:02:23One of the things about Jon Moxley, no matter if you love him or if you hate him,
01:02:26is you can't give him time to recover.
01:02:30Well, Brian, you're right, because Will is being very methodical here.
01:02:34Just taking his talent.
01:02:36I mean, not only does Ospreay know that he has to weaken to diminish Moxley, but he also, on some
01:02:44level, seems to be relishing the opportunity to do so.
01:02:49Yeah, I mean, that's kind of what I'm seeing here, and I don't think that that's a smart strategy.
01:02:54I mean, even if your goal is to get revenge, you still have, with Jon Moxley, the first thing that
01:03:03you need to do is you need to beat him and then get as much revenge as you want.
01:03:06That's what happened in London.
01:03:08The match was over when Mox did what he did.
01:03:10What did you think I was going to forget about you?
01:03:136-2!
01:03:156 months!
01:03:16For my mom!
01:03:17My kid!
01:03:18My kid!
01:03:19My kid!
01:03:19My kid!
01:03:23Ospreay, yelling at Jon Moxley, you took 6 months of my life, my career away from me.
01:03:29And, whoa!
01:03:32Moxley narrowly avoided that boot to the midsection by Moxley.
01:03:35Moxley!
01:03:36Paradigm shift!
01:03:37Yes!
01:03:37Oh!
01:03:38Spiking!
01:03:39Ospreay!
01:03:40Winning the ring!
01:03:41Stop it!
01:03:42Winning the sign!
01:03:44Yeah, Will Ospreay talking about Jon Moxley taking 6 months of his career away.
01:03:50I'm going to be honest, both of these men contributed to the end of my career.
01:03:54Ospreay on accident, though, look at that paradigm shift on the floor.
01:03:59Ospreay did it on accident, but Mox did it on purpose.
01:04:02But that's the danger with Will Ospreay.
01:04:06I mean, he's so dangerous.
01:04:08He talked about being able to mess up your neck with his bare hands.
01:04:12We've seen him unleash that Tiger Driver 91, Brian.
01:04:17I mean, just one of the most devastating moves in all of professional wrestling.
01:04:20I mean, I think he's been doing a move that Ospreay himself, when he came to grips with just how
01:04:24dangerous it was and how he was affecting people's lives is that he's vowed not to use it.
01:04:28But I think because Moxley has made...
01:04:31Oh!
01:04:32Sleeper suplex without Moxley!
01:04:36See, this is Jon Moxley's ability to recover.
01:04:39This is what Will Ospreay shouldn't have paraded around like he did earlier in this match.
01:04:46Absolutely.
01:04:46Take a look at the sleeper suplex again.
01:04:49He hit on the top of his head, I think, didn't he?
01:04:51Yeah, straight down on his head.
01:04:53Short on Larry by Moxley.
01:04:55Drives the challenger, Will Ospreay, back down to the mat.
01:04:57Get off the hair!
01:04:59Moxley, second time!
01:05:01Stop with the hair!
01:05:02Come on!
01:05:05Moxley, he knows just as well as Will Ospreay that he has to diminish his opponent's ability to kick out
01:05:13to absorb the punishment in order to win this match.
01:05:16But Ospreay was warned by Moxley not to make this personal.
01:05:23Jon Moxley tried to make it seem like what he did to Will Ospreay Bryan was not a personal attack.
01:05:32It was just a matter of course in professional wrestling when it seemed anything but.
01:05:37Right, but I mean, just look at what Jon Moxley's doing now, this is the way he just conducts business.
01:05:42I mean, for months we've heard Mox come up with twisted ways to explain every awful thing that he's done
01:05:48over the last several years.
01:05:51Like he thinks it all makes him a hero or something, but Will Ospreay sees through all that.
01:05:57Now Jon Moxley believes it.
01:05:59He believes that what he's doing, the way he's doing it, is the right way.
01:06:04And right now he is hammering Will Ospreay.
01:06:07Holy smokes!
01:06:08Well, Tony, there's the old cliche that the bad guy never truly believes that they're the bad guy.
01:06:14Yeah.
01:06:16Jon Moxley said that, you know, it wasn't personal with Will Ospreay, but how could Will Ospreay not take it
01:06:21personally?
01:06:23But he was unable to lift up his son for six months and he was unable to hug his wife.
01:06:30Well, listen, Will went down. I mean, we all talked. We all thought, is his career over?
01:06:35I mean, there's always that chance, right, Brian? When you have that neck injury, you know as well as anybody
01:06:40else.
01:06:41Always that chance, and especially when you wrestle the style that Will Ospreay does.
01:06:46Will Ospreay coming back with a corkscrew kick.
01:06:50And we call it, as broadcasters, Tony, a breakneck style.
01:06:55Wow.
01:06:55Well, yeah, I guess literally.
01:06:59The interesting thing to me is Will Ospreay is so talented, he doesn't have to wrestle that style.
01:07:06Right. I've thought that for so long. How about that?
01:07:10Springboard, the elbow strike, wipes out Moxley.
01:07:13And Moxley, his momentum carried him to the outside, and he is stumbling around the ringside area.
01:07:23Ospreay with his back to Jon Moxley.
01:07:25Moxley, though, springs up.
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:30Moxley strikes Ospreay down.
01:07:36Maybe envisioning a piledriver for Will Ospreay.
01:07:38Uh, Will.
01:07:41Close to you in the ring.
01:07:42Will.
01:07:43Oh, Will Ospreay, just.
01:07:46Yeah, left arm lariat, throws Moxley over the top rope, back into the ring, and now Ospreay, springboard, takes flight.
01:07:53Oh, yeah, but Moxley prepared that time.
01:07:57You look at it, you think it's ill-advised, but Will Ospreay lives his life on the edge.
01:08:04He knows no other way.
01:08:06He was gonna come off top, and Jon Moxley grounded him.
01:08:11Whoa!
01:08:12Yeah, but I mean, that's a...
01:08:13It's not that he doesn't know any other way, Tony.
01:08:17I think he just...
01:08:18That's the style he loves to wrestle.
01:08:21He loves wrestling that style.
01:08:23I mean, the Pac match, when he wrestled Pac, it was a fascinating match to watch.
01:08:27Pac jumped Ospreay before the match, brain-bustered him on the ramp, controlled 80% of the match, yet Ospreay
01:08:34was able to use his exceptional counter-wrestling to roll Pac up.
01:08:38And I mean, that's the thing, he's such a great counter-wrestler.
01:08:42Yeah, Brian, you bring up some great points that he can do much more than just this high-flying, unbelievable
01:08:49moves.
01:08:51Well, he's better at it than anybody in the world, of course.
01:08:54But he loves living on the edge, man, you gotta agree with that.
01:08:58Jon Moxley showing his grip, his resilience.
01:09:03Able to withstand the early assault by the aerial assassin, Will Ospreay.
01:09:08And now firing back.
01:09:13Moxley, hilarious, but Ospreay absorbed the contact.
01:09:16I don't know how he did it.
01:09:18The mental toughness of Will Ospreay.
01:09:22He wants something to behold.
01:09:24Yes, sir.
01:09:25He wants payback.
01:09:26And he's trying to get it!
01:09:29Oh, my God!
01:09:30Ospreay, it covers!
01:09:31No, Moxley!
01:09:33Reverses Bulldog Trump!
01:09:34Ospreay's flattened out!
01:09:36What a great counter.
01:09:37Look at Jon Moxley's face.
01:09:39He's contemplating over.
01:09:42Moxley's so slick.
01:09:43And that arm under the neck.
01:09:45Yeah.
01:09:45Ten minutes from right, ten minutes.
01:09:47Now, half the clock has elapsed here.
01:09:49The 20-minute time limit.
01:09:51Continental rules.
01:09:52Everyone is banned from ringside.
01:09:53And Jon Moxley, now with a grounded sleeper hold.
01:09:58I mean, with the pace that these guys are going at it, I can't imagine it would last another ten
01:10:03minutes.
01:10:06These two men are throwing bombs at one another.
01:10:12Oh, Moxley.
01:10:13Plays the hit!
01:10:13Throw!
01:10:14Gosh!
01:10:14Style pile driver!
01:10:16Moxley covers!
01:10:17Two!
01:10:20Ospreay.
01:10:22He kicked out.
01:10:24He escaped, Bryan.
01:10:25That was a very weak kick out.
01:10:27My thoughts exactly.
01:10:29Very weak kick out.
01:10:31But, I mean, he was able to get his shoulder off the mat.
01:10:34And Jon Moxley noticed it as well.
01:10:36He looked over here to Doc Sampson and said he's done.
01:10:41Talking about Will Ospreay.
01:10:42Did he mean in this match?
01:10:45Or in the sport of professional wrestling?
01:10:47I don't know the answer to that, but he looked at Doc Sampson and said it's over.
01:10:52And if he hits it, it just may be over.
01:10:55A sleeper suplex.
01:10:56Yeah.
01:10:57On the ropes, perhaps.
01:10:58We saw him hit that on Kyle Fletcher in the Continental Classic.
01:11:01Where Kyle Fletcher just landed straight on his head.
01:11:05This is not good, man.
01:11:06Good Will Ospreay!
01:11:07Oh!
01:11:08Oh!
01:11:08Oh, but Ospreay...
01:11:09Oh my God!
01:11:10Found his feet and a hidden blade.
01:11:13No!
01:11:13Moxley weaves underneath.
01:11:15Oh!
01:11:16That time!
01:11:17Ospreay on the crown of his head!
01:11:20Moxley charging in there.
01:11:22No!
01:11:22Ospreay floats over!
01:11:25Power bomb!
01:11:27How did he do that?
01:11:28Oh, but Ospreay!
01:11:29One!
01:11:30Two!
01:11:31Did you notice, Bryan?
01:11:34Ospreay, he seemed to seize up.
01:11:36I think, from the damage done to his neck.
01:11:39Yeah, I mean, he tried to get that cover at first, but he couldn't lift his upper body.
01:11:45I'm still stunned how Will got the advantage here.
01:11:48It was unbelievable!
01:11:50A roundhouse kick.
01:11:50And the Os caught it!
01:11:53No!
01:11:53Moxley again!
01:11:54Full Nelson!
01:11:55He missed!
01:11:56Paradise shift!
01:11:57Oh!
01:11:57Hidden blade!
01:11:59Out of nowhere!
01:12:00Out of nowhere he got it!
01:12:03A last gasp!
01:12:05Hidden blade!
01:12:06From Will Ospreay!
01:12:07Damn, this is wonderful!
01:12:08Oh, my!
01:12:14Here it is!
01:12:19Just instinct alone from Will Ospreay!
01:12:26But, I mean, some people have a special gift for recovery.
01:12:30I think Will Ospreay's gotta be one of them, but it's also the way that he's trained.
01:12:35The way that he's come up in wrestling.
01:12:37I mean, he was trained to take a lot of punishment.
01:12:42This is something we don't normally see from Will Ospreay.
01:12:49Trying, people only familiar with Will Ospreay through AEW.
01:12:54Or, even his career before this New Japan Pro Wrestling, may not know that Will Ospreay,
01:12:58he began his career.
01:12:59He was severely undersized.
01:13:01He was bullied.
01:13:02He was battered around the ring.
01:13:04He had to be tough.
01:13:05He had to develop that determination.
01:13:08He had to.
01:13:10Or, he wouldn't have even got out of the...
01:13:13Oh, wait a second.
01:13:14Easy, brother.
01:13:15Ospreay, his emotions get in the better of him there.
01:13:18Yeah, you know what?
01:13:19Paul Turner could throw him out right now.
01:13:21I mean, this is an emotional situation.
01:13:24Good on Ospreay for picking up the...
01:13:26Oh!
01:13:27Moxley comes steaming in with the lariat.
01:13:29Such a veteran, Jon Moxley, took advantage of it.
01:13:32Oh, Ospreay sweeps out the legs.
01:13:34Jack Knife on.
01:13:35No.
01:13:36Ospreay.
01:13:40Styles clairs.
01:13:41Tremendous fluidity.
01:13:43From Will Ospreay.
01:13:46One, two...
01:13:49Guys, I'm astounded.
01:13:51That Jack Knife was a feint.
01:13:52That Jack Knife was a feint.
01:13:54He was able to get himself back up into that Styles clash.
01:13:58And now he's got this bulldog choke on Jon Moxley.
01:14:02We've seen Moxley.
01:14:04He's tapped out in the past.
01:14:06The panic overwhelms him.
01:14:08Could he be in a similar situation here tonight
01:14:10in the grips of Will Ospreay?
01:14:14Jon Moxley trying to rise up with...
01:14:17Yeah, he's got up.
01:14:19He's going to fall back, maybe?
01:14:21Jon Moxley's head's turning purple.
01:14:23No, you're right.
01:14:25He's going to go back down.
01:14:28Look at the color of Jon Moxley's head.
01:14:31Hit and blade again!
01:14:34Oh, he will hurt himself, I think, with that hit and blade.
01:14:37He was already clutching that...
01:14:38That left shoulder was Ospreay.
01:14:40One, two...
01:14:43Five minutes remaining.
01:14:44Brian, I think Ospreay may be dealing with a stinger...
01:14:49In his left arm.
01:14:51And he's just trying...
01:14:52He's going to try to fight the last five minutes of this match with one hand.
01:14:57Yeah, I mean, he...
01:14:59I think, judging...
01:15:00Because it's not hanging limp right now.
01:15:03He must have a little bit of strength.
01:15:05Ah, gosh, I don't know.
01:15:06It's so hard to tell.
01:15:08There's only one person that knows for sure, and it is Will Ospreay.
01:15:12Yeah, but his hand is seizing up, too.
01:15:16I mean, his neck has gone through so much punishment in this match, and, you know...
01:15:20So I'm shaking up the hand now.
01:15:22Could be thinking...
01:15:24That Tiger driver...
01:15:25Oh, and lost...
01:15:26Lost the strength to hold the grip.
01:15:29Yeah, I mean...
01:15:31The Tiger driver that he gave me...
01:15:35Significantly damaged my neck.
01:15:38Oh, brother.
01:15:39Speaking of damage...
01:15:41There could be some major damage coming up here!
01:15:46Now, Moxley...
01:15:47Brings his head free and now gouges the eyes.
01:15:53He's doing more than gouging, I think, but...
01:15:55I mean, I think.
01:15:57Now, Moxley...
01:15:58Will can't take this!
01:16:00No, he can't take this!
01:16:01No!
01:16:02No!
01:16:04No!
01:16:05No!
01:16:07Hey!
01:16:08Get in the ring!
01:16:14Paul Turner's got a decision to make right here.
01:16:17The medical team's swinging into action...
01:16:20...after what we just witnessed.
01:16:23Oh, my God!
01:16:24Oh, no!
01:16:25I got it!
01:16:27I got it!
01:16:28I got it!
01:16:28I got it!
01:16:29I'm checking on him, Paul!
01:16:30I know there's a lot of animosity, but this title is so prestigious.
01:16:36Think about the tournament and what you got it takes to go through the tournament to win it.
01:16:40Two!
01:16:41It's not about the title.
01:16:44It's about...
01:16:46Moxley's saying that Will Ospreay doesn't have what it takes to hang with Moxley.
01:16:53He can gamble his quality of life away, but it will never be enough for Ospreay to beat Moxley.
01:17:01One more, and Will's...
01:17:04Oh, Will's done.
01:17:08Yes!
01:17:09Ospreay into the ring, but Moxley strikes!
01:17:16Paradigm Shift!
01:17:17Moxley's going to do it again!
01:17:21Paradigm Shift!
01:17:26Moxley!
01:17:28One, two, three...
01:17:30No!
01:17:32Will Ospreay lose!
01:17:35Oh, my God!
01:17:37I mean, but at what cost?
01:17:39Oh, God!
01:17:41The fighting spirit is unbelievable.
01:17:45Yes!
01:17:47He can't take another one, can he?
01:17:50Death!
01:17:51Rider by Moxley!
01:17:52Oh, God!
01:17:54One, two, three!
01:18:00Here's your winner.
01:18:02And still, AEW Continental Champion, John Moxley!
01:18:11I know it had to be cathartic for Will Ospreay, Brian.
01:18:14On some level, it had to be cathartic for you to watch how Will Ospreay began this match.
01:18:21Those hidden blades in quick succession, but...
01:18:25I think Ospreay may have squandered his opportunity to defeat John Moxley here tonight.
01:18:30He has nobody to blame but himself.
01:18:32Yeah, I'd have to agree with you, Excalibur.
01:18:36I mean, I...
01:18:38You know, I also worry about the way Ospreay approaches wrestling.
01:18:42I mean, he loves this so much.
01:18:43He's so resilient.
01:18:45But sometimes...
01:18:47Sometimes that's a bad thing.
01:18:49I mean, I know that in my own experience.
01:18:53I just hope Will Ospreay can move forward from this.
01:18:58I think he should probably...
01:19:01I would like to see the doctor send him to go get an MRI after this match.
01:19:05That was brutal.
01:19:07And Ospreay...
01:19:09Not only does he know that the Continental Championship has slipped away, but...
01:19:17He knows that what he's vowed to do to get revenge on that man, John Moxley, has also slipped away.
01:19:28Well, let's be honest.
01:19:36Will's not the first person to try to get that title away from John Moxley and seek revenge.
01:19:44And not get it done.
01:19:46Who's upset, to say the least?
01:20:00The question for Will Ospreay becomes, where do you go from here and how?
01:20:13Well, I don't have to be really sure about Lancaster's Epo 1997, but...
01:20:15Well, I think he never really cared about.
01:20:15Well, he also may have to win a little behind her AS530 in the asset market in the space level
01:20:15than working against these teams.
01:20:15That bridge of this einge defense is now.
01:20:16Well, the sounds of the VSI have to do so.
01:20:16I will get to gain out of theبة from Russia, but...
01:20:18but I will probably get to start with them hunting.
01:20:18Well, I'll give him a little bit later.
