Planting New Seeds

Hangman Adam Page returned to kick off the show. He briefly discussed spending his absence gardening and recovering from a pinched nerve. Staying true to his word following his loss to MJF at Revolution, Page vowed to never challenge for the AEW World Championship again.

Seeing empty track ahead of him, the former champion set his sights on the TNT, National, International, and Continental titles.

Bandido vs. Katsuyori Shibata

Shibata backed Bandido into the ropes to open the ROH World Championship match. The challenger utilized a low blow behind the referee’s back to take early control, sending the champion tumbling to the floor.

Bandido eventually recovered and executed a shooting star press for a near-fall. Late in the contest, Shibata attempted a second low blow. Bandido blocked the strike, grabbed his opponent’s arm, and transitioned into a cradle pin to retain the championship.

Harley Feels the Wrath

Hikaru Shida and Harley Cameron exchanged words in a backstage video package ahead of their title match. Shida bragged about winning gold without any friends. Cameron retorted that she had improved drastically during Shida’s absence and refused to back down.

Hikaru Shida vs. Harley Cameron

Shida ambushed Cameron before the opening bell, hitting a fisherman’s suplex as soon as the match officially began. Cameron fought back and trapped the TBS Champion in a half-crab submission.

Shida grabbed the referee’s leg to drag herself to the bottom rope for a break. The champion rallied and applied an inverted surfboard submission to force the tap out. Shida continued her assault after the bell until Queen Aminata ran down to make the save.

Sydal Splits Hairs

Matt Sydal confronted Jay Lethal and The Swirl backstage regarding their association with The Demand. Sydal specifically warned Lethal not to trust Ricochet. Ricochet mocked Sydal for being outnumbered six-to-one. Sydal simply yelled that Ricochet was bald before running away.

A Family Affair

The Don Callis Family delivered a backstage promo celebrating Kyle Fletcher’s recent AEW International Championship victory. Fletcher responded to Hangman Page’s opening remarks, noting that their faction holds three of the titles Page desires. Trent Beretta subsequently called out Darby Allin, claiming the former World Champion feared him.

Willow’s Road to Redemption

The Conglomeration made their way to the ring to celebrate their status as Trios Champions. Orange Cassidy introduced Willow Nightingale as the faction’s next potential titleholder.

Nightingale addressed the shoulder injury that forced her to vacate the TBS Championship two months prior. She highlighted her recent Casino Gauntlet victory and declared her intention to defeat Thekla for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Redemption. Nightingale promised to walk into All In at Wembley Stadium as the champion to face Mercedes Moné.

Toxic Remarks

Skye Blue delivered a short promo targeting Divine Dominion, warning that the Sisters of Sin thrive on pain. Divine Dominion responded in a separate segment, dismissing the challengers as desperate. Later, Thekla issued a warning to Mercedes Moné and Nightingale, and said of Willow that the only thing worse that a “dumb bitch” was a “happy bitch”.

The Death Riders vs. A.R. Fox, Top Flight & Komander

Daniel Garcia and Darius Martin initiated the eight-man tag team contest with a fast-paced grappling exchange. A chaotic sequence saw A.R. Fox dive onto the Death Riders, followed by a tightrope tope from Komander.

The momentum shifted when Wheeler Yuta dodged a dive from Fox. The Death Riders cornered Fox and unleashed a barrage of strikes. Garcia applied a Dragon Tamer, and Jon Moxley added a curb stomp before Garcia secured the pinfall. Moxley grabbed a microphone post-match, declaring that it was the Death Riders against the world.

Puppy Love

The Bang Bang Gang aired a parody commercial for a local Roanoke animal adoption center. They showcased two puppies named David Finlay and Clark Connors, asking fans to adopt them while promising to euthanize the human versions of The Dogs.

Brian Cage vs. Zachary Wentz

Zachary Wentz utilized his speed to evade Brian Cage’s early power attacks. Wentz rallied with a shotgun dropkick and a twisting cutter for a near-fall. The comeback ended abruptly when Cage decimated Wentz with a discus lariat. Cage hoisted his opponent and executed the Drill Claw to win the match.

Darby Allin vs. Trent Beretta

Following Cage’s victory, Trent Beretta grabbed a microphone and demanded a forfeit win over the absent Darby Allin. Allin’s music immediately played, and he rushed the ring to start an impromptu match. Cage repeatedly distracted Allin from ringside. Beretta capitalized with a Strong Zero piledriver on the apron for a dramatic near-fall.

Allin eventually countered an avalanche maneuver into a Code Red from the top rope. He hit the Coffin Drop to score the pin. Cage and Mark Davis attacked Allin after the bell until Mike Bailey made the save with a steel chair.

Willow Gathers Her Forces

Willow Nightingale approached Maya World and Hyan in the backstage area. She recruited the duo for a six-woman tag team match against Mercedes Moné and Divine Dominion on Dynamite. Maya accepted the offer but requested a title shot if Nightingale wins the championship at Redemption.

Tranquilo Seas

AEW aired a vignette featuring Andrade El Idolo relaxing on a boat. He explained that being “tranquilo” means waiting patiently to pick the perfect moment to strike.

Mark Davis vs. Mike Bailey

Mark Davis defended the AEW National Championship against Mike Bailey in the main event. Davis utilized his immense power to ground the challenger, biting Bailey’s bare feet and hitting a brutal powerslam. The action spilled to the outside, where Davis delivered a piledriver on top of the announce desk, busting Bailey open. Bailey barely beat the twenty-count back into the ring.

The challenger displayed resilience, kicking out of a second piledriver. Bailey mounted a fiery comeback, landing a 630 senton that forced Davis to grab the bottom rope. Jake Doyle ran down to provide a distraction, allowing Davis to hit a massive lariat.

Bailey survived a vertebreaker and traded roll-up attempts with the champion. In the final sequence, Davis connected with one last lariat and a third piledriver to finally keep Bailey down for the three-count. The Don Callis Family stood tall in the ring as the broadcast concluded.
