The match wasn't bad at all but the finish was really out of nowhere and didn't fit with everything else.

Wardlow powerbombs him four times and wins it.

I thought they did a little too much here and I didn't like bringing Cage back just to job him out. As usual, Cage did every move he knows but the idea was there.

The Embassy attacks Wardlow after. Samoa Joe comes down to help. He gets beat up then FTR come out and the Embassy escapes.

Britt Baker does a taped promo. She says Saray will not be wrestling in AEW as "the doctor" has not medically cleared her to compete. She said this officially makes it her house now.

Everyone gets some offense in and Ford hits a cutter after slipping on a mtrix evasion from Willow's lariat. Ford goes for a handspring and is dropkicked against the ropes then Willow doctor bombs her for the win.

This was kind of rushed here with everyone trying to get something in within a short frame of time. Willow hit some stiff stuff here.

Britt Baker confronts Saray after and Saraya forearms her. They hockey fight and all the girls start fighting. Rebel gets caught by Saraya and is kicked as she is on her knees.

Billy hands Bowens some giant scissors. Max says his dad was on the Superbowl Redskins team 40 years ago here in DC. He says everyone is divided in DC, but today there is no red or blue, just pink.

Swerve interrupts and said he is sickened by all this then challenges Billy Gunn next week. Mark Sterling comes out and says The Acclaimed needs him. Mark wants to scissor then the Acclaimed and Billy beat him up then scissor to end the segment.

It started off well then went too long and fell off track with too many other people getting involved. I have no idea what the Mark Sterling stuff was about.

Rush vs Adam Page

They run at each other then trade forearms. Page hits chops and Rush does the tranquillo pose. Rush forearms Page off the apron and throws him into the rail. Rush whips Page with a cord and chokes him with it.  We go to PiP break and return.

Page kind of lights him up and slams him down and rolls him up. Page goes for a buckshot but is hit then Rush straightjacket piledrives him.

Rush's nose is bleeding then he takes a lariat. Page hits a buckshot lariat and wins.

It wasn't a bad match with them trading a lot of strikes and doing some high impact moves here. Rush losing does little to help him.

Private Party come out after then Jon Moxley comes out too. Mox gets on the mic, saying he has been waiting for this for 3 years. PP disappeared then randomly.

Then he said he and Page have beaten everyone in AEW except each other. Mox says there will be one last man standing and says he will break his face when they fight. He says he will choke him until he turns blue as he is in the way of him being the one true top guy in AEW. Mox says he respects him but respects nothing when the title is on the line. Page asks if he's been waiting for this for so long, where is he going now? Mox says he will let him off the hook and tells him to watch his mouth.

Willow says she wants to challenge for the TBS title at Battle of the Belts. The Baddies talk trash about Willow and Jade says it seems Willow wants to be #39. Willow says she beat her twice, but can she do it three times? Willow says what if she is 38-1 and she's the 1?

It was fast paced and there was a lot of flipping here. Didn't like the top rope SSP not really counting for anything and didn't care much for the dirty finish.

Overall thoughts: Not that bad of a show but a little on the long side with them going extra minutes for the main.
