Thoughts: The crowd was dead for this and for good reason. The outcome was never in doubt but it took too long to get there. Kyle hit some real stiff shots here.

Kyle calls out Kazcuhika Okada after. He says he wants the Okada who main evented the Tokyo Dome. He challenges him for the Continental Title at Battle of the Belts.

She said she learned 2 lessons - you take care of people closest to you and if you wanna hurt someone, you take out the person someone loves the most. She says what makes her the most angry is when you take what's hers. Taya says if you come after Deonna, you will deal with her. Deonna says you will be met with a vendetta if you come with both.

Anna backcrackers her then hits a gori bomb. Anna then wins it.

Thoughts: It went longer than it needed to and had an obvious outcome. It wasn't anything of interest and mostly just pushed Mariah May vs Anna.

May gets on the mic after. She says Anna should buy her dinner as she will be on her knees, crying, shaking and screaming her name.

Renee interviews Harley Cameron. She asks where Saraya is. Harley says she's incapacitated. Renee asks where that leaves Harley. Harley says she sings, wrestlers, does ventriloquism and speaks Chinese. She says she's prepared for her match against Kris tomorrow and says she's versatile.

Taven says they need change and will show why they are kings of the undisputed. Shane Taylor and Lee Moriarty get a line or two in. The Gates of Agony talk but it's really hard to understand them.

Zay jumps off Quen's back into Mansoor, then Quen does the same with Zay. Quen is pushed off the top to the floor. Quen takes a side slam + legdrop combo.

We go to PiP break and return. Quen is knee'd while running the ropes. Quen takes a powerbomb + neckbreaker combo for 2. Quen rolls up Mansoor. Quen tags out. Zay hits a springboard stunner on the ropes to Madden. Zay knocks Mansoor over multiple times.

Thoughts: It wasn't as good as it should have been but it was fine. We got a lot of flying around from Private Party as usual here.

Zay says this will be The Bucks soon and says they will win the AEW Titles. He says he promises on his mama they will beat them.

Overall thoughts: The main was the only interesting thing on here as it didn't have a totally obvious outcome. Briscoe vs Butcher should have been better but Briscoe was just not moving well. I think they were expecting Solo to get a big pop in his match vs Kyle since he was in his hometown but nobody cared. The women's match wasn't much of note either. I didn't think it was an interesting show and I wouldn't recommend it.
