They all have their buddies with them. Lio and Black take their time to get going. Lio ducks shots and hits a stunner. Black chest kicks him then avoids a kick. AA and Buddy go at it. A wristlocks him. Buddy rolls through and upkicks him.

Lio gets shoulders over by Buddy then is flipped into a pumping knee. Buddy and AA shove each other outside. Lio topes Buddy hard into the rails. AA springboard crossbodies Buddy then step up enzugiri's him. Buddy takes a sandwich dropkick. We see The Righteous watching in the back.

Darius tries to give AA water. He gets mad then throws the water at Brody King's back. King corner lariats him. AA's buddies save him from more abuse.

Thoughts: The early part of this was weird with them arguing a lot for some reason. it was a fast paced match afterwards and HoB won as expected. This also furthered AA's issue with his team losing.

Lexy interviews Anna Jay. She talks about her career and says she doesn't know where she fits in at AEW. She says let's find out, punch by punch, kick by kick and choke by choke. She tells Robyn Renegade to just try her tonight.

Anna side headlocks her and RR grabs the hair. Anna shoulders her over. Anna knees her in the gut and running forearms her. Anna side kicks her then iconoslams her. Anna hits a basement dropkick.

RR hits some shots to the chest then RR camel clutches her while pulling on the mouth. Anna jawbreakrs her then flying forearms her. Anna flipping neckbreakers her then side kicks her. Anna does a gori bomb on her and wins.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash here as expected. I'm not real sure what it accomplished other than getting Anna on TV. 

Will Opsreay and Ricochet have a face to talk with Renee. Will says there's some jealousy there and he says he won the IWGP Jr. Title while Ric didn't. Ric says he has decades of titles and giving people feelings. He says the people remembered Ricochet. The rest of this is available on youtube they say.

KT stalls outside of the ring and is sent into the post. KT flying clotheslines him inside. We go to PiP break and full break. Ange flying clotheslines him then rolls over the back. Ange up kicks him for 2. Ange armdrags him and ties up both of his arms.

Ange trips KT into a reverse STF. KT ropebreaks. KT gets stuck on the ropes and Ange pele kicks him. Ange back body drops him. Ange comes off the 2nd rope and KT forearms him down. KT hits a blue thunder then hits a spinning falcon arrow for the win.

Thoughts: It was a match. I suppose it was fine, but it was random and the winner was never in doubt here.

The Acclaimed vs Ryan Clancy and TJ Crawford

Max hits shots on Ryan then Ryan hits a nice dropkick. Max backhands him and eye rakes him. Ryan takes corner attacks then is whipped into a lariat. TJ hits kicks on Bowens then Bowens superkicks him. Bowens throws Ryan in. Ryan takes the arrival and a mic drop. TJ then takes a nasty double team gorilla press bomb and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a short squash as expected. TJ hit some nice kicks here and The Acclaimed busted out their rare finisher here.

Max gets on the mic after. He talks about MxM's fashion show on Grand Slam Collision. He says all they had to do was ask if they wanted to makeover his jacket. Max talks about some of the stuff MxM does and calls them pansies. Max says they will crash their party and says it's time to nut up or shut up.

Thoughts: It was an average match. Nothing was wrong with it but nothing was great either. Deonna was not out here with Taya despite just forming a group with her.

Overall thoughts: It was an average and nothing show for the most part. Every match was random and nothing was particularly great. Nothing of note really happened either. I wouldn't recommend this.
