Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. w/ Rebel vs. Tesha Price
Britt takes her to the mat early and hits her with a hard punch. Tesha high kicks her but Britt ends up hitting her with a flatliner on the middle buckle. Britt puts her head against the post then pulls her arm. Rebel then hits Tesha with a towel.
Britt hits some knees on her and stands on her face. Britt goofs off and is rolled up for 2. She then sling blades her. Tesha comes back with an enzugiri and strikes her for 2. Britt hits a ddt and gets her glove. she hits her with the schwein and lockjaws her for the win. Tesha didn't look too good here except for nice selling while in the lockjaw.
Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus) vs. Midas Black & Jay Lyon
Lyon has the stupid steak in his mouth again. JB tries to pull it out but is dragged. Tony asks "what the hell did we just see?" and I concur. Black trips JB then Lyon flips on JB. Lyon runs straight into Lucha's boot and JB makes concerned faces while Lucha punches Lyon.
Lyon tries to offer Lucha his steak and gets high kicked. Black gets slammed on Lyon and they lose in a total waste of time squash. JB then puts the steak in the ref's mouth.

Andre Montoya and Vary Moraels vs The Hybrid2
I said it last week and I'll say it again, why is Andre wearing a mask if he is revealing his real name anyway? Jack dances aroung and shoves Vary in the face. Vary super kicks him while Jack handstands. Vary overhead belly to belly suplexes Jack then Jack does a springboard spin kick. Angelico lifts and twisting flatliners Vary. He traps both of Vary's arms behind Vary's back and pushes forward.
Vary gets tired up more and comes off the 2nd rope with a dropkick. Andre gets the hot tag in and Show even calls it that. Vary nails Jack with a superkick and sends him over the top. Jack then twisting moonsaults Vary off the apron. Andre handsprings into the ropes and gets his leg swept on the bounce back then Angelico wins with the Navarro Death Roll. Jack does a capoeira after. One of TH2's better showings as they didn't botch anything and the match was short. Vary and Andre still haven't shown too much.
The Acclaimed are interviewed by Paul Wight. They talked about how good they are and Bowens talks about how gay he is, literally. Is that supposed to make me like him more or something? They put themselves over and want the interview to be extended as it ends.
Mike Magnum & Stone Rockwell vs. Team Taz (Brian Cage & Ricky Starks)
Stone needs to team up with Brick Aldridge immediately. Cage hits a nice dropkick on Magnum. Stone pounds on Starks and Starks is wearing some very girly tights. Stone goes to suplex Starks but Cage catches Starks and superkicks him. Starks and Cage argue after a failed double suplex and Starks spears Magnum. Cage then hits a hard powerbomb on Stone and tags out to Starks, helping him with the roshambo on Stone for the win. Stone had two matches in the last week and I don't think he got anything in past a punch. I guess this was there to put over the Cage and Starks issues.
Abadon vs Skye Blue
Skye does not wear blue for some reason. Abadon crawls around the ring to start, then slams her down and pounds on her. Skye gets caught in a crossbody and is backbreakered. Abadon is showing a lot of her backside here and I really don't get why. Skye cartwheels into a forearm then takes a release german from Abadon. Abadon meteora's her in the corner then crossbodies Skye as she is sitting. Abadon bangs Skye's head off the mat and Skye blows a dropkick to the knee.Skye gets stuck on the middle buckle then hit with the gory special neckbreaker for the win in a total squash.
Orange Cassidy vs Prince Kai
Kai hands the announcer a note and makes him read it, where he puts himself over. Kai poses and OC doesn't look too pleased when he would be normally doing the same thing. OC immediately hits the beach break and wins it.
Vary gets tired up more and comes off the 2nd rope with a dropkick. Andre gets the hot tag in and Show even calls it that. Vary nails Jack with a superkick and sends him over the top.

Private Party w/Matt Hardy and Marq Quen vs. Alex Reynolds & Colt Cabana with the Dark Order
Kassidy pounds on Alex to start and alex comes back with a dropkick. Kassidy shoves Uno and the Dark Order gets thrown out. Colt drop toe holds Marq then elbows him in the head. Alex topes Marq outside and when the ref isn't looking, Matt throws Alex into the rails.
Kassidy moonsaults from the 2nd buckle to Alex on the outside. Alex gets worked on for a while and pops up Kassidy into a knee. Alex tags to Colt and Colt throws PP into each other. He then headscissors Marq and hits some punches, then elbows Kassidy. Marq cartwheels out of a wristlock the enzugiri's Colt. PP does the stupid silly string spot and the logistics of it was done here were so dumb that it isn't even worth going into it.
Marq does something close to a pele kick on Colt then dives on Alex. He then 450's Colt for 2. Alex spinning forearms Marq then gets an assist from Colt on a flipping ddt. Colt tries to pin Marq, but Kassidy was legal and rolls up Colt to steal the win. I thought they put over PP well here as being smarter wrestlers under Hardy's control.
Shawna Reed vs Thunder Rosa
They got to the mat to start and Rosa does a nice trip takedown. Rosa basement dropkicks her for 2 and hits corner chops. Shawna hits a bunch of kicks in the corner then butt charges her head in the corner. Rosa lariats Reed in the corner and pendulum drops double knees on her. She then dropkicks her hard as she is sat against the bottom buckle.
Reed snapmare drivers Rosa but after some strikes, Rosa hits an emerald flowsion over her leg to win. Reed actually showed some aggression and fire here.
Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent) (w/Orange Cassidy) vs. Hayden Backlund & Kit Sackett
Trent hits a big lariat early on Kit and a release saito suplex. Hayden takes a soul foot into a half and half suplex. Chuck short piledrivers Hayden then Trent hits a regular piledriver on Hayden in this total waste of time. What was the point of this, really?
Aaron Solow (w/Nick Comoroto & QT Marshall) vs. Austin Gunn (w/Colten Gunn)
QT sits on the ring steps on the ramp. Gunn pounds on Solow to start then hits a big lariat. Austin lariats Solow and himself over the top. Austin is distracted by Nick then gets kicked in the head by Solow. Solow then suplexes him for 2.
Solow pounds on Gunn more and Gunn comes back with a big lariat. Nick gets on the apron and Gunn is distracted then takes a spin kick. Nick hits Colten Gunn on the outside and ends up charging into the rails after Colten moves. Austin hiptosses Solow into a cutter for the win, which is calle the Quickdraw. QT is doing some godfather or Tony Soprano type of gimmick here where he tells people what to do and watches on and it's really really cringe. The focus here was on anything but this match. Solow still continues not to really show anything.
Kassidy pounds on Alex to start and alex comes back with a dropkick. Kassidy shoves Uno and the Dark Order gets thrown out. Colt drop toe holds Marq then elbows him in the head. Alex topes Marq outside and when the ref isn't looking, Matt throws Alex into the rails.

Ethan Page & Scorpio Sky vs. Carlie Bravo & Dean Alexander
They get off to a lame start early and Dean hits some punches on Page before getting suplexed. Dean and Bravo double dropkick Sky at the same time and Page shoulder blocks Bravo on the outside.
Sky hits a heel hook and wins it completely out of nowhere. Another total waste of time that accomplished nothing.
Dasha interviews Austin Gunn. Gunn said family means naything and QT tore this family apart. Billy Gunn then comes in and gets him out. QT Marshall then comes up to Billy and said this whole thing has nothing to do with The Gunn Club. QT says the Gunns are like boys of his own. Gunn tells him he lost the right to say that when he attacked him. Billy says he went too far then QT decks him and asks if that was too far? The idea of QT being able to drop Billy Gunn, yet alone anyone is funny.
Kenny Omega, Konosuke Takeshita & MT Nakazawa vs. Danny Limelight, Matt Sydal & Mike Sydal
This is Takeshita's 3rd AEW match and his last one as he goes back home. Nakazawa has the stupid headphones on and Kenny does too. They pretend to talk. Screw this amateur hour garbage. Nakazawa and any match involving him is banned from this website until further notice.
Overall thoughts: Another bad show as usual. So many pointless squashes. QT doing Don Corleone impersonations and Kenny and Nakazawa acting like fools. At least the show was under 2 hours.
