Thoughts: Page won as expected here. I didn't like the deadeye on the apron not meaning much. That should put someone down, especially Shibata and it was ultimately meaningless. They also no sold a few germans here. I didn't like this.

Don Callis talks to Ricochet on the golf course with Davis and Doyle. Alex Marvez appears and he is asked how he got here. Doyle and Davis beat up somebody on the golf course behind them. Ricochet says GoA returns after wrestling in front of sold out crowds in Mexico. Don says Kenny Omega will get his against Josh Alexander and says Ricochet should worry about Jack Perry.

Thoughts: Kris won as expected. I was surprised there was no shenanigans here and I was surprised it ended as soon as it did. it was just a match.

Thekla appears on the tron and is clapping. She says Kris is so good and she's such a fan. She says it's so sad it's her last win as a champ. She says there will be other dumb b!tches. She spits on a Kris shirt and throws it in the trash can. She does the vulcan greeting and gives her the finger. 

Jack Perry has a knife in the back. He says Ricochet took something from him more valuable than gold - a friend. He says Luchasaurus fought back from the brink of death so they would have a second chance. Jack says Ric took that from all of them so he will take his title and everything he has. He says that won't be enough. He then stabs a piece of wood.

Protoshita (Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher) vs Billy and Austin Gunn

They said Ace Austin couldn't make it here so Billy stepped in. This is a problem since The Gunn's never made up on camera after Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn turned heel a long time ago. This is KF's first match since the last AEW PPV and his first 2026 match. Don Callis is on commentary for this.

Thoughts: It was an alright match here. They kept things moving and it didn't go long enough to where KT and KF could no sell things. The Gunn's lost as expected but they got nothing out of their big on-screen reunion here.

Don Callis raises his men's hands after. Kazuchika Okada comes on the ramp and KT wants at him. 

The Demand do a promo. Ricochet says he's so sorry about Luchasaurus. He says they send their apologies and all the luck Jack can get. He says where better to have their rematch then in his hometown of Las Vegas. He says he will need all the luck he can get. He says we all know a jack is a jester and a joke. He says Jack will be another loser amongst a sea of losers who expected to win big but lost it all. Ric says Jack will find out soon why he is out of this world.  

The Grizzled Young Vets wrestle. They say AEW is where rats like Ortiz and Eddie wrestle. They say they cheated to beat them. They tell them to get used to looking over their shoulders.

JO dropkicks Jake. Jake catches AP's tope outside and throws him head first into JO. The jobbers backs are rammed together and they take stereo slams. AP takes a pilrriver and JO takes a black hole slam. AP and JO are pinned.

Thoughts: It was a short but entertaining squash. The spot where the jobbers were thrown into each other was pretty wild. It was nice to see some bigger guys run over smaller guys for a change.

Don Callis gets in the ring. He says he has something to say to FTR. He says he had a vision of pain and a vision of him owning the tag titles. He says his dream came true with Davis and Doyle.

FTR and Big Stoke interrupt on the tron. Stoke says Don is a liar. He says if Don says it's day time, it's night time and if he says it's yellow, it's purple. He says the people you should believe are FTR. He says FTR are truthtellers and upstanding citizens. He says they will be announced as still the tag champs after the match.

We see Darby Allin driving somewhere. He says he has a friend who knows a thing about being reckless. We then see him skateboarding with Bam Margera. Bam tells him he needs to be safe. We see Bam fall while skateboarding.

Thoughts: It was alright. Willow won as expected and Hart took some hard shots and bumps here. There wasn't any great logic or story to this. Harley and Skye got involved but left as soon as they came.

The Rascalz are in the back eating food. They talk about how nice the place is. Dez doesn't know why Cru want to fight. Dez says it's because they are the new kids on the block. Zach says they have a debacle as it's 3 of us and 2 of them. Reed says they should draw straws and they agree on rock, paper, scissors. Reed keeps losing and they all pick the same thing each time. They say with Reed's support, they can't lose.

Alex Windsor says her and Jamie Hayter don't have any history and they should make some. She says neither of them back down from a fight. She says it's time she won some gold and says it's time she won some gold that she can take home. Jamie says she supposes they need matching outfits then.

Andrade El Idolo vs Magnus

Thoughts: Idolo won here as expected and was pretty cocky about it. He pulled up Mag on pins and kind of toyed with him some. I wonder how CMLL feels about that. It was a longer and one-sided bout but it was acceptable. They mentioned the girl again after Idolo won so I'm sure we will see her again.

Idolo does a taped promo after. He says Callis brought him here as he can win the title. He tells Swerve he wants the AEW World Title and Swerve in his way.

Thoughts: I liked it. They started out aggressive and CC mostly worked the knee all match here. It was stiff and they had a good wrestling match here. CC won as expected as the CMLL Title was on the line.

Overall thoughts: It was a heavy wrestling show as always but the opener was the only match I really had a problem with. The stars weren't really in action as usual and there weren't a lot of storyline developments, just a lot of okay wrestling. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as it was okay enough and I'd say the main was the best match of the night.
