MATCH 1

The two men catch wrestle one another until Cage does the ten punch in the corner. Angelico fights back and focuses on the left arm of Christian.

Later on, Angelico leaps off the top to get some feet to the face. Christian rolls him up for a near fall. Angelico hits a ground enziguri then jackknife pins Christian, but only a two count.

Tony Schiavone announces that next week, Aaron Solow and QT Marshall will face Cody Rhodes who will be partnering with Brock Anderson, Arn Anderson’s son. The three men come out. Cody said that next week Brock says he’ll steal home next week even after being born on third base. He believes Brock can get it done. He also wouldn’t mind getting retribution for last week after being beat by Anthony Ogogo. Out comes QT who takes exception to that. He pinned Cody all by himself. Marshall says enough of these vanity projects and this nepotism. He’s sick of this. He says when AEW goes back on the road on July 7, he wants a full house so he can whip his ass. He means literally in a “South Beach Strap Match.” Cody wants a strap match right now and loosens his belt. QT smacks Arn with a belt and Brock punches the piss out of him before QT bails.
MATCH 2
Death Triangle & Eddie Kingston vs. The Young Bucks & Brandon Cutler
In a pre-match promo, Eddie tries to form more of a bond between PAC and Penta, but they aren’t so keen on that. Don Callis joins commentary. Bell rings and Matt and PAC jaw jck. Matt gets nailed by Penta, PAC & Eddie. Brandon Cutler gets brought in by Matt the hard way and PAC takes it to him. Eddie prompts for the tag, but PAC bypasses him for Penta.

PAC nearly gets rolled up by Matt, but no dice. The three men work over PAC. Cutler goes for a springboard, but misses and Eddie hits his spinning back elbow. PAC covers for the win.
WINNER: PAC, Penta & Eddie Kingston
The Elite insurgents come out to attack the trio, but Frankie Kazarian comes out for the save.
Back from break, out comes Pinnacle. Dax downplays the loss of Stadium Stampede before calling out Santana & Ortiz. They are cut from the same cloth besides stark differences. Dax says he has a wife and kid to provide for, but guess who doesn’t? Cash and he doesn’t give a shit about their families. Next, Shawn Spears trashes Sammy Guevara and calls him an indie wrestler. Wardlow says Hager is obsessed with him. Why is that? It’s because he brings out the absolute best in him. Therefore, Hager invites Wardlow in his comfort zone. Despite that, Wardlow accepts. MJF says he’s tired because you know why? Because he is the best. He used to idolize Chris Jericho in his youth. He cites July 2019 when he first saw Jericho in Jacksonville. Working with Chris should have been a dream come true, but it wasn’t. He says it turns out Jericho was just like everyone else. He’s already beaten him twice. He has nothing left to prove. Jericho’s request is denied. He calls out Sammy Guevara as well. He tells him to keep his name out of his mouth.
Jericho appears on the big screen. He and The Inner Circle then destroy The Pinnacle’ limo in the parking lot.
Darby Allin says he’s not replacing Sting next week. He wants a handicap match. He turns to Sting and tells him to stay home. Sting tries to settle him down. He says they both won and Darby says it’s not about that. Just stay home, please. Sting obliges. They fist bump one another.
Evil Uno has a brief video package as he expresses his connection to the late Brodie Lee and his desire to win the TNT Title. Match time.
MATCH 3
TNT Championship
Evil Uno vs. Miro (c)
Miro and Uno mix it up. Miro begins to showcase his strength and bodyslams Uno. Hard body shots, and Uno tries to chop at Miro, but it ain’t happening. Miro does get dumped by Uno, but Miro pulls him out. Uno hits a diving senton from the apron.
Back in the ring, Miro catches Uno from up top to back suplex him. We head to break. Back from it, Uno is getting dominated and Dark Order come out to motivate Uno back in the ring.

JR will sit down Andrade El Idolo next week and a hype video is made for Andrade in build.
Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega and Don Callis. They congratulate Jungle Boy on his battle royal win, but Don Callis calls him a one-hit wonder. Kenny says he’s supposed to build Jungle Boy up, and honestly he doesn’t have to disparage anything about JB. He reminds him of a young Kenny, but something is missing. What is it Don? He doesn’t have the guts. Out comes Jungle Boy. Kenny snickers. He’s just as surprised as anybody because JB doesn’t appear to him to be a promo guy. He says JB doesn’t have the guts. Nobody is better than Kenny. If he has something to say, he better say it quick. “Man, you talk way too much.” The two scuffle and JB goes to almost lock Omega in the Snare Trap, but he sees The Young Bucks come out and leaves.
Mark Sterling builds up the strong promotional success of Jade Cargill. He’s going to make sure that she makes all that money. Jade mentions her catchphrase and monetizing off it. “I’m that bitch.”
Scorpio Sky says Darby not finding a partner is the dumbest thing he’s done. Ethan asks him if he understands the mental consequences of that. Bit by bit, they’re going to chop him down, and they’re gonna raise up. It’s only up for here for the Men of The Year.
MATCH 4
Lance Archer vs. Chandler Hopkins
Archer bulldozes Hopkins and chokeslams him. He chops him in the corner, hits a Blackout and it’s over.

He hits Hobbs hard and covers. Hobbs’ hand is underneath the bottom rope so no pin is made. 10 and Hobbs go at it soon, but then Cage gets involved for a high-low on 10. 1-2-kick out!
Hook comes in to meddle and to distract the ref. He does as Starks tossees Cage the FTW belt. Cage throws it back. Ricky yells at him on the apron and slaps Cage hard.
