Jay White pinned Jon Moxley to give The Cut victory in an unhinged Anarchy in the Arena match at AEW Full Gear.
White, David Finlay, Clark Connors, Ace Austin & The Gunns faced Moxley, Gabe Kidd & Daniel Garcia of the Death Riders and The Conglomeration’s Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong.
The match continued the groups’ recent feud, which began shortly after White assembled The Cut in October.
The fight started before the Death Riders had entered, with The Cut attacking The Conglomeration in the crowd. Moxley, Kidd & Garcia then arrived to “Wild Thing,” before the soundtrack switched to DMX’s “Party Up” as the brawl spread throughout the arena.
Cassidy eventually opened the backpack Moxley had given him earlier, revealing broken glass. Finlay repeatedly drove Cassidy into it before Moxley later dragged Finlay through the glass.
Kidd was also offered the chance to turn on his partners. Finlay & Connors gave their former Bullet Club War Dogs teammate a Cut shirt and encouraged him to attack Moxley.
Kidd put the shirt on and accepted a chair, but instead threw it into Finlay’s face and continued fighting alongside the Death Riders.
The match then expanded well beyond the original 12 participants.
Marina Shafir prevented White & Connors from using a heated branding iron on Strong. Wheeler Yuta subsequently ran in when The Cut turned its attention toward Shafir.
Shane Taylor Promotions then attacked Yuta and Cassidy. Mercedes Moné followed with a low blow to Moxley, but the lights went out before she could continue the attack.
When they returned, CMLL’s Kemalito was in the ring. He attacked Moné before Willow Nightingale appeared and hit the AEW Women’s World Champion with a Pounce.
Shane Taylor Promotions overwhelmed Kemalito until Claudio Castagnoli arrived in a vehicle backstage and made his way to the ring. Castagnoli ran through several members of the opposing side, including powerbombing Shane Taylor through a table.
The match eventually returned to its original participants amid more fighting around ringside.
Strong & O’Reilly sent Ace Austin from the apron through a table with a double suplex, while Connors speared Cassidy through part of the set.
Elsewhere, Finlay powerbombed Kidd through a flaming table.
Back in the ring, Moxley fought off The Gunns but immediately walked into White’s Blade Runner.
White covered Moxley for the three-count, giving The Cut the victory.
The Anarchy in the Arena match had grown out of a large brawl between the factions in October, when Moxley challenged The Cut after weeks of escalating confrontations.
