Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli vs. RUSH & Preston Vance — Texas Tornado Tag Team Match
A brawl starts right before the bell rings. The brawl spills into the crowd as Moxley and Castagnoli gain control as the fight heads back to the ringside area. RUSH fires Moxley into the timekeeper’s area and clocks the former AEW World Champion with the ring bell. Vance plants Castagnoli with a suplex onto the floor and drills him with a knee. Moxley applies a figure four to RUSH but Vance makes the save before too much damage is done.
The bell finally rings and this one is *officially* underway. Moxley grabs some chairs and sets them up in the corner between the top and middle turnbuckles. Moxley dumps RUSH out of the ring and continues the attack. Moxley bites Vance’s forehead. Everyone is brawling once again and Vance has Castagnoli locked into a steel chair around his shoulders and RUSH crashes another chair into Castagnoli’s shoulder. Vance and RUSH bury the ROH World Champion under a bunch of debris and focus their attention on Moxley.
The former AEW World Champion is busted open pretty badly but that doesn’t deter Moxley, who dispatches of Vance with a bevy of strikes and launches him out of the ring. Vance secures a chain and wallops Moxley with it to regain momentum but Castagnoli finds a chain of his own and clocks Vance with it.
RUSH comes back into the mix but gets planted with a cutter by Moxley. Vance comes in and crushes Moxley with a lariat but Jose The Assistant appears and cracks Castagnoli with a steel chair. Wheeler Yuta evens the odds and takes out Jose and the brawl is back on inside of the ring. RUSH plants Castagnoli with a suplex but Castagnoli pops up and cracks RUSH with a massive spear followed by his patented uppercut. Moxley grabs the previously used chain and chokes Vance out cold with the chain for the win!
Winners – Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli
Backstage, we see Kip Sabian attack ‘Hangman’ Adam Page but the Dark Order comes in to make the save.
We then see Jim Ross in a sit-down interview with former TNT Champion Wardlow. The big man tells JR that he never wanted long hair or a big beard but after seeing his father’s hair and facial hair being taken from him due to cancer, he decided to grow it out in honor of him. Wardlow says that’s relevant because it’s something that Samoa Joe knew and cut his (Wardlow’s) hair anyway. Wardlow says that Joe has survived everything…but he won’t survive him (Wardlow). Wardlow says it was almost too late for he and his father to develop a bond due to his father’s late-stage cancer, but notes that his dad was able to make it to his first independent wrestling match. Wardlow says the last thing he ever told his father is that he promised him that he’ll make it..and he has.
Mark Briscoe vs. Josh Woods (with Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese)
Woods grounds Briscoe with a waist lock to start. Briscoe powers to his feet and forces the break and clocks Woods with a running shoulder block. Woods rolls to the outside to recover, Briscoe goes for a dive through the ropes on the outside but Woods evades as Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese pull him away from danger. Penta and Rey Fenix make their way down to the ring and the Lucha Bros run off Daivari and Nese to make this an actual one-on-one match. Woods dumps Briscoe to the outside and nails him with a corkscrew dive from the top rope onto the outside. Woods nails Briscoe with a spinning suplex on the floor, tosses Briscoe back into the ring and goes for the cover but Briscoe kicks out! Briscoe knocks Woods back, scoops and slams him to the mat, goes up top and lands the Froggy Bow for the 1-2-3!
Winner – Mark Briscoe
We then see Renee Paquette sitting down with Adam Cole. Renee asks Adam how he’s feeling and Adam says he’s doing well and says it’s a small victory that he can just walk straight without his right eye twitching. Adam says he doesn’t know exactly when he’ll be back, but he knows exactly who it’ll be against…but he won’t reveal that information quite yet.
AEW World Champion MJF makes his way down to the ring. On his way down the ramp, he tosses something at a fan. MJF introduces Christopher Daniels and out comes ‘The Fallen Angel’. MJF tells Daniels to explain how he feels about Bryan Danielson and Daniels takes an envelope of cash out of his back pocket and says he was given an obscene amount of money from MJF to disparage Danielson and while there was certainly a time in his career that he would’ve done just that, he doesn’t need that anymore. Daniels calls MJF a fraud and says that at Revolution, Danielson is going to take the one thing that means more to MJF that anything else…the AEW World Championship. MJF gets in Daniels’ face, Daniels slaps MJF but the champion cracks Daniels with a low blow. MJF locks in ‘Salt of the Earth’ but Bryan Danielson rushes the ring and makes the save as the champion scurries off.
Brian Cage (with Prince Nana) vs. ‘Jungle Boy’ Jack Perry
Cage launches Perry to the outside right as the bell rings and we head to a quick commercial break. Back from the break and Cage clocks Perry with a big boot to the face whilst back inside of the ring. Perry fights back with a bevy of strikes, Cage tosses Perry into the corner, Perry looks for a spring-board dive but Cage catches him and plants him with an inverted Alabama Slam and looks for the cover but Perry kicks out. Cage lifts Perry and looks for a slam but Perry slips behind Cage, rolls him up, Cage pops out and launches Perry into the top turnbuckle before going for another cover but Perry lifts the shoulders at two and a half.
Cage goes to the apron and climbs to the middle rope, Perry kicks him back down to the apron, goes to the top turnbuckle and nails Cage with a diving leg drop. Perry goes right back up top and lands a splash before going for the cover but Cage kicks out once again. Perry now hits a dive off of the middle rope and goes for yet another cover but Cage continues to kick right out. Perry nails Cage with a running knee to the back of the head, rolls him up and gets the 1-2-3!
Winner – ‘Jungle Boy’ Jack Perry
After the match, Jack Perry is walking back up the ramp and Christian Cage’s music hits and out comes Cage! Perry rushes Cage but Cage has pepper spray and sprayed Perry’s eyes. Cage laughs at Perry and removes his arm brace which was clearly fake and begins the attack on Perry. Cage applies a sleeper hold then plants Perry with the ‘Kill Switch’ before exiting.
We then see a video package hyping up The Elite. At the end of the video, we see a flash of the House of Black, perhaps teasing a possible trios match is in the near future between the two groups.
‘Hangman’ Adam Page vs. Kip Sabian (with Penelope Ford)
Sabian nails Page with a kick then a suplex to start. Sabian launches Page to the corner and drills him with a sliding kick in the corner then does a Cowboy dance, mocking Page. ‘Hangman’ clocks Sabian with a forearm to the back of the head followed by a back-body drop. Sabian rolls to the outside, Page dives through the middle ropes but lands on his feet after Sabian slid back inside of the ring. Sabian sends Page to the outside, jumps on the apron and nails Page with a running kick to the chest and a spring-board dive off of the middle rope onto the outside and we head to a commercial break.

Winner – ‘Hangman’ Adam Page
After the match, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta of Blackpool Combat Club make their way down to the ring. Moxley says he and Page’s chapter has closed and while he has all the respect in the world for Page, he (Moxley) will always have his number and there’s ‘no chance in hell’ that Page will ever beat him again and says that Page needs to let that go. Page grabs the microphone out of Moxley’s hands and says their rivalry should not end with a roll up…it should end when they go to a dark alley and only one of them come out…and it should end at Revolution…with only one man standing. Moxley says he was hoping that Page was going to say that and he knows Page doesn’t have any friends to talk him out of such a decision.
Dark Order’s music hits and out comes Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, and John Silver. Uno says the Dark Order has had Page’s back for over the last two years. Page tells Uno to stay out of it but Uno tells Page to get out of his face. Uno tells Moxley that he isn’t afraid of him and the Dark Order aren’t afraid of Blackpool Combat Club. Uno pie-faces Moxley, Page tries to break it up but Uno and Moxley come face-to-face. Moxley turns his attention back to Page and says it’ll be him and Page at Revolution in a Texas Death Match! Moxley exits, Uno and Page argue, and we head to a commercial break.
