00:00at Wembley, be it either Kenny Omega or Kevin Knight.
00:13Jon Moxley, of course, with Marina Shafir at ringside.
00:18Shafir, who's getting daggers at Tony Schiavone right now.
00:20I'm better you than me.
00:27Fans, you can get the gear.
00:28You can shop the show with AEW on Amazon Prime right now.
00:35As Will Ospreay and Nick Jackson.
00:41Lock horns and Ospreay with a clean break.
00:44Sure, Moxley's going to like that.
00:47With a right hand, this is more to Moxley's taste, certainly.
00:51Well, Nick's the one that came running right out of Will Ospreay.
00:55Ospreay, though, springs back up to his feet.
00:58We heard what the Young Bucks said,
01:00how Ospreay was part of the team that took the EVP titles from the Young Bucks.
01:04That was a lot of prestige, a lot of money.
01:07There was a lot of prestige and a lot of money
01:09that Matt and Nick Jackson, unfortunately, allowed to go to their heads.
01:12They were abusing that position, that status.
01:16And they got humbled by Will Ospreay and Swerth Strickland last summer.
01:20But right now, Nick Jackson, the one doing the humbling.
01:24That match last summer, of course,
01:27at Globe Life Field in Dallas was an incredible match, no doubt.
01:35All in Texas, an unforgettable event this year.
01:38All in London, poised to be a very similar evening in the history of not just AEW,
01:46in the history of professional wrestling.
01:47And it could be the coronation of Will Ospreay as AEW World Champion.
01:51But before we get to Wembley Stadium, in just over a month right now,
01:58Ospreay has to contend with one of the best tag teams of all time.
02:04No way that Moxley and Ospreay can count.
02:09Cover made, leg hooked.
02:11Can compete.
02:12I was about to say, when it comes to the cohesion and the ability to know where their tag team
02:17partner is at all times.
02:18You know, Ospreay and Moxley only began teaming quite recently since Ospreay joined the Deathriders.
02:24Young Bucks, of course, tag team partners for life.
02:27Oh, wow.
02:28Ospreay, I mean, it looked like he got his bell rung by that Gamangiri.
02:31And now, the head-to-head collision with Nick Jackson.
02:35Both men got rocked by that one.
02:36Yeah, that was rough.
02:37Both men perhaps looking for a double leg.
02:39Yeah, it looked like the forehead against the temple, almost, of Nick Jackson that time.
02:49Ospreay rightly taking a knee there.
02:51Nick Jackson tagged out by his older brother, Matt.
02:55Matt, arm drag, takes Ospreay over the top.
02:58You can see Nick Jackson still trying to clear the cobwebs on the outside.
03:00I think Matt's buying.
03:01He's brought a little bit of time here.
03:05What time has Ospreay got?
03:07Again, we talked about, well, wait a second.
03:09Nick's on the floor there.
03:10Unable to tag in.
03:12He really got rocked.
03:13There's bell got rung and so much so that.
03:15Matt Jackson going out.
03:17Check on Nick.
03:20Get a dog under and take a break.
03:22Better turn around.
03:24While all this is going on, John Moxley, he barked something at Will Ospreay.
03:28I didn't hear what it was, but Ospreay immediately sprung into action.
03:31And this is that heightened sense of ruthlessness we were talking about, Nigel.
03:34There was the words to the effect of, don't give them time to recover.
03:40Don't give them any kind of sympathy, but that's exactly what Ospreay's doing now.
03:44He's asking the official whether Nick is okay to continue and listen to this.
03:51You know what?
03:53I understand that Will's conflicted here, but Mox is doing the right thing.
04:00Not if you're Nick Jackson, he's not.
04:02Jawbreaker by Matt Jackson, who allowed, or used that time he was allowed to recover a little bit.
04:09And Moxley, though, needed a small of the back right hand since Moxley spun off the barricade.
04:14Ospreay looking to go to work.
04:15Matt Jackson ready for it.
04:17Faints with a superkick and then scores with the DDT.
04:26Oh, I kicked through the ropes since Jon Moxley spilling in Matt Jackson throwing himself right back at the A
04:34.W. Continental Champion.
04:35And then Shafir did the death stare, and now look at this, the official turn.
04:42Baudenay, strike.
04:44Oh, Baudenay, Nigel, there you go.
04:48Shafir springing into action, the MVP, consistent MVP of the Death Riders.
04:57The heart and the soul of the Death Riders, as Jon Moxley has described Shafir.
05:02Moxley returns Matt Jackson in.
05:06Ospreay greets him with a chop to the chest.
05:08Nice.
05:08Basically, we've got a handicap match right now because Nick is still on the floor,
05:13and Matt's had to suffer through a double team and all of this, even Marina on the outside.
05:20Kravat cinched in, and the tag from Moxley.
05:25Body shot, right hand to the ribs, and now cross faces from Moxley.
05:32Wow.
05:32Matt trying to get his right hand up to protect himself.
05:36Right to the midsection.
05:38Whoa.
05:39Oof.
05:40Like butter with a mill.
05:42Wow.
05:44Looks like.
05:46If Matt Jackson was at a disadvantage before,
05:48Tony, this two-on-one very rapidly turning into a three-on-one.
05:52Yeah.
05:52Referee Rick Knoxley back his turn.
05:57There you see in the left of your screen that Nick is finally up on the apron.
06:01But let's see how much of an impact he's going to make in the remainder of this match.
06:05Tony, I've called enough Young Bucks matches that there is something off to my eyes
06:11with the body language of Nick Jackson.
06:13He does not look fully composed as Ospreay makes the cover.
06:16I mean, Nigel.
06:17I mean, the fact he jumped off the apron in the first place, to me, tells me something's
06:21very wrong.
06:22But look at where he was.
06:22I mean, he was two steps away from the corner.
06:26He was more towards the middle of the ring.
06:28I think he's just disoriented.
06:30Could be something to that.
06:34But nonetheless, the match continues, and Nick's telling the official that he's okay.
06:38Yep.
06:39Rick Knox checking on him.
06:41And they are literally throwing Matt everywhere around the ring.
06:44Moxley, the cover.
06:46And that is where the Death Rider is going to have the advantage on the Young Bucks.
06:51We talked about the tag team synergy of Matt and Nick Jackson.
06:54But the strength of Will Ospreay, the combined strength of Will Ospreay and
06:58Jon Moxley is something that Matt and Nick Jackson just can't counter.
07:01The motivation, the determination of Moxley and Ospreay that has taken them
07:05to world titles all around the world.
07:09Many promotions.
07:10Whoa, look at this.
07:12Strong strikes time and again.
07:14Matt Jackson absorbing a lot of punishment.
07:16Jon Moxley, of course, a multi-time AEW world champion Will Ospreay
07:22looking ahead to Wembley Stadium to be the first British man to do so on English soil.
07:28But right now, Matt Jackson trying to get a tag in from his brother.
07:31But Nick Jackson really wasn't reaching for the tag.
07:35Here he comes.
07:36Oh, no.
07:37Moxley.
07:38Oh, no.
07:39Jackson on the face.
07:40No.
07:41Right in front of the official.
07:43He can't take this.
07:44Oh, pile driver.
07:46On the already injured Nick Jackson.
07:48And meanwhile, inside the ring, Ospreay came steaming in.
07:51The kick to the face of Matt Jackson.
07:53And Ospreay leaping elbow strike to the base of the neck of Matt Jackson.
08:00Ospreay.
08:01Big time Liger bomb.
08:02Two.
08:04Matt Jackson able to kick out.
08:06I'm surprised the official allowed that pile drive.
08:10Wait a second.
08:11Wait a second.
08:11The death ground.
08:13Will Ospreay's version of that cross-arm breaker.
08:15Matt Jackson.
08:16Great submission defense linking the hands.
08:18But Ospreay attacking the grip of Matt Jackson.
08:21I love that Matt's fighting this off.
08:23But there's just so much Matt Jackson going to be able to take here.
08:26But not the full extension.
08:27I don't think.
08:28I know it looks like it.
08:29But Jackson doing his best to change the angle of the bicep tendon.
08:34Matt Jackson rolling in.
08:35But Ospreay doing a great job of rounding his shoulders to prevent a pinning predicament.
08:41And Matt Jackson tried to power out of it.
08:43But Ospreay found his feet.
08:45Landed the knee to the midsection.
08:46Shot to Moxley.
08:48And now another shot to Moxley.
08:51In among the sharks right now.
08:55He's taking a bite.
08:57Throwing his body at Jon Moxley.
08:59And now making the crawl over to make the tag.
09:04But Nick Jackson.
09:06I'm not sure if it was hesitation or just.
09:10Oh wow.
09:11My God.
09:12Ospreay face first into the mat.
09:14Nick Jackson.
09:14He wasn't ready for the tag then.
09:16Is he ready now?
09:17Look at him.
09:18He's looking down.
09:19He's dazed.
09:20Look at this.
09:20He's looking everywhere.
09:21He is.
09:24First it was the collision of the heads.
09:27Then the pile driver on the floor.
09:28Nick Jackson.
09:30Great job there Nick.
09:35Well we're about to find out what shape Nick Jackson's in.
09:38And Nigel this is a situation where the instance of Nick Jackson, of the younger brother, have to take over.
09:48Matt wasn't sure.
09:50He double checked with Nick before the tag.
09:53Oof.
09:54Series of back elbow.
09:55Shot to the midsection.
09:57The kick.
09:58The rising knee strike.
09:59Nick Jackson.
10:01He looks pretty good to me.
10:02I was just thinking the same thing, Tony.
10:06Shaking off the cobwebs.
10:08Cazadora comes through into the stunner.
10:12Leg hook cover made.
10:14Ospreay though fires the right shoulder up off the mat.
10:17Now it's Ospreay's turn to look stunned and dazed.
10:21And the tag made.
10:22Perhaps the Young Bucks can get back into full gear.
10:26That's in November.
10:28As Matt Jackson.
10:31Now with Will Ospreay on the top rope.
10:36And double.
10:37Stop.
10:38A drop.
10:39Go on.
10:40Two.
10:41One.
10:42Oh.
10:42Ospreay able to kick out.
10:46Close call for the Death Riders.
10:49Now and Will is moving slowly.
10:52The referee checking with him.
10:53Look at this.
10:54Rolling over on his right side.
10:56I certainly don't want to take a fight.
10:58But Wembley is not far away.
11:00Right.
11:00You want to make sure Ospreay's in full work in order.
11:04With a world title opportunity.
11:06Nigel you know as well as I do that there is an inherent risk every time you step into the
11:11ring.
11:11But John Moxley.
11:13Once again.
11:15Pulling Nick Jackson off the apron.
11:17He was looking for a paradigm shift.
11:19But instead.
11:22Counter.
11:25Moxley.
11:26Fights out.
11:28Ospreay.
11:30Both Matt and Nick Jackson inverted.
11:31Styles clash.
11:33Piledriver.
11:34One.
11:35Two.
11:36No.
11:37Nick Jackson.
11:40Just pushed the legs out.
11:42And got out of it.
11:46The match continues.
11:48And now Moxley eagerly makes the tag.
11:53Moxley.
11:55Sensing the blood in the water.
11:57And this quick series which has become a hallmark of the Death Riders.
12:07Moxley the cutter.
12:09Matt Jackson neutralized.
12:11Neutralized sent crashing to the floor.
12:13Well.
12:14Big risk.
12:18Moxley.
12:19Moxley.
12:19Beautiful tornado.
12:21From Will Offspring.
12:23As John Moxley hits the rope.
12:25When Nick Jackson counters his superkick.
12:27Moxley though.to
12:28lean his clock with that one.
12:35nick jackson might think it's november right now after that impact driving right under the jaw
12:41the younger brother
12:45john moxley got everything behind that lariat everything you see nick jackson blinking the
12:51eyes trying to clear the cobwebs again but moxley ready for him perhaps

15:11call here and it's not an easy call nigel
15:14but the referee i mean he's in there for the protection of all the athletes 100% i think
15:19osprey understands the same thing osprey suffered his own injuries himself and doesn't want to see
15:24somebody with a career threatening injury oh wills don't even tag your brother in oh look osprey
15:32though elect for a body shot it doesn't want to aim for the head when he thinks there's been damage
15:37done to the head let's be perfectly honest boy nick does not let it out jackson to the ropes
15:45osprey the bypass rolling elbow strike from osprey oh man guys nick is done and osprey another heel

20:00the young bucks after a dozen i can't believe what i'm seeing here i can't believe that the bucks won
20:09this thing that is why nigel they are regarded as one of the greatest tag teams of all time there
20:20could be no doubt mick foley mentioned the top five tag
