The Young Bucks Downgrade In Lifestyle Begins
After a lengthy recap video package looking back at highlights and key moments from the AEW All In: Texas pay-per-view over the weekend, we return to footage of the Young Bucks duo of nicholas and Matthew Jackson, now no longer AEW EVPs, arriving in an Uber, and having to carry their own bags.
Kyle Fletcher vs. Mascara Dorada
Back inside the Aragon Ballroom, Kyle Fletcher makes his entrance for our opening contest. Commentary looks back at All In Texas and dustin Rhodes winning the TNT Championship as Fletcher enters the ring, and out next is Mascara Dorada. The bell sounds and off we go.
Early on,we sdy King to the same. They head to the ring and the bell sounds to get things going.
Kicking things off for their respective teams are King and Alexander, who trade strikes before Josh finds himself unable to take Brody off his feet. They mouth off at each other before Josh sends King back with strikes, only for Brody to drop him to a knee with a massive chop.
Alexander looks for a tag but the Bucks step off the apron, forcing Hechicero to tag in. Bandido gets the tag and also a “lucha libre” chant greets the pair while they trade offense of their own.Bandido charges at Hechicero in the corner before taking him to the mat with a hurricanrana.
A tag is made to Knight,who calls in Bailey for the assist in taking down Hechicero before Matt and Nick try to intervene. This results in JetSpeed going after the former EVPs to drop them on the floor outside. Back in the ring, Kevin gets back on the attack until the Bucks come running in once more.
Chaos ensues as they land superkicks on Brody and Knight, before propping up Bailey on the ropes for a stomp into a powerbomb, and then a big move to send the chaos to the outside. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break.
When the show returns, we see Knight on the defensive, with the heel team utilizing frequent tags to keep a fresh man on him at all times, and to keep him as far away from his corner as possible. Once he’s down and out, now The Young Bucks want to finally tag in. They come in and go for an EVP Trigger.
They never hit it, though, as they stop when they don’t know what to yell, and knight takes over and tags. After some more back-and-forth action, all eight end up in the ring.things break down as The Young Bucks and Alexander take out Brody,only for Bailey to lay out Josh.
We then see The Young Bucks knock him down but are taken out by Knight, before Bandido hits the X-Knee on Nick followed by a two-count. they gang up on Bandido once again,and Hechicero locks in a sleeper hold. bandido goes out cold, and the referee calls it off. The show heads to another commercial break.
Winners: The Young Bucks, Josh Alexander & Hechicero
Adam Copeland Addresses Christian Cage & FTR
The show returns from the break to the familiar iconic sounds of Adam Copeland’s theme music. The crowd loudly sings along as “The Rated-R Superstar” makes his way to the ring. We get a look back at the attack on Christian Cage at All In Texas,leading to the return of Cope and a message for Christian to “go find himself.”
back live, we see Cope settled into the squared circle now with a microphone in-hand. Cope thanks the fans in response to a “thank you Cope” chant, saying those reactions are the reason he gets up and gets in this ring. Cope wants to address a few questions.
Cope says the first one is weather or not he came down at AEW all In: Texas to save Christian Cage. No, Cage is an assh*le.He’s tried to make Cope’s life miserable, reminding us that Cage wanted to cripple him. He also reminds us that Cage cashed in his World Title contract and got choked out.
He says everything has crumbled around Cage, and it’s all out of jealousy. He couldn’t handle seeing Cope be first to certain successes including the World Championship. He told Cage verbatim was going to happen to Cage, but now he’s just hoping Christian is watching and pulling his cranium out of his ass.
That said, Cope came back at All In Texas to go
Tholala Defeats Queen Aminata
At one point, a “You sick fk” chant broke out. Skye Blue then appeared and caused a distraction at ringside. Julia Hart sprayed poison mist into Queen Aminata’s eyes, allowing Thekla to secure the win.
