Thoughts:
FTR won as expected. It was an athletic match as expected and basically a similar version of what The Bucks vs FTR will be. The Rascalz brought the flying here and FTR were their heel foils. I liked this and thought it was a good bout.

Mark Briscoe comes out and has words with FTR as he passes by. He shakes hands with them.

Anthony Bowens goes up to Hook in the back. Bowens says he can be a killer and needs hook to let him show him. Hook tells him to show him by grabbing the camera from Shibata. Hook goes up to someone and asks if he wrestles. He asks if he wants to be an Opps member and asks him to show him how he gets out of it. Hook puts a tazzmission on him and the random guy is out.

TC is swept on the apron. DG gets in Mark's face and piefaces him. TC cradles DG for 2. Mark gets on the apron and TC is sent into him. TC jack knifes him and pins him.

Thoughts: Just LOL at them having Ciampa lose here. He's supposed to be this big signing and he has already done his second job....to Daniel Garcia who is in the same spot he was in 5 years ago. The match was competitive and fine but the result wasn't good.

Mark offers a handshake. TC slaps the hand and they get angry with each other. Ciampa and Mark walk out together. Ciampa then throws Mark into the tron and hits mounted punches on the stage. Ciampa pumping knees Mark and rubs Mark's bandana on himself.

Thoughts: Swerve won as expected here. Swerve's house call kick at the end looked good here and it was all squash.

We see Kris Statlander talking after Dynamite. She says she and Thekla beat each other once. She says once is not enough and he wants a 2/3 falls match. She says her killing is coming twice.

Thekla comes out. She says since when does the challenger get to determine what the match stip is? She says she's not doing a 2/3 falls match and tells her to kiss her toxic @ss if she doesn't like it. She says what makes Kris think she can beat her twice in one night. She says Kris wears sunglasses now because she can't look her in the eyes and says she wears leather as she wants to look like Thekla. She says Thunder Rosa should have listened to her as she sent her to the graveyards of Tijuana. She tells her to take her own advice and quit while she's alive.

Zay 2nd rope diving canadian destoryers Lee then Blake gets double stomped off the top. Lee takes an electric chair cutter and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was very fast paced. There was lots of people coming in and out, little selling and tons of action here. This was exactly what you would think it would be. Private Party won here after losing in their big return. 

Jetspeed are interviewed. Kevin says Wednesday was one of the hardest nights of his career as he lost the World Title match. He says he knows there will be another chance. Kevin then says he lost the trios title match. Mike says their team lost and they will get the titles back with Mistico at AEW Revolution. Mike is also challenging for the TNT Title for some reason and says he has what it takes to be a double champ. Swerve Strickland and prince Nana come in.

Lena and Toni then reverse the figure four. MArina Shafir comes out, suplexes Toni and rolls her under the ring. Meg flying lariats Mina. Lena jackhammers Mina and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a very fast paced tag and this was fine. I don't know if Meg was really protected here enough. Lena being taller than Meg hurts some of her gimmick. It feels like so much time has been wasted with Meg as she is now on her 3rd partner (Ford > Shafir > Kross) in a short span. Lena fit right in though in her debut here.

Mark Briscoe is in the back. He says something hasn't felt right since Ciampa has been here in AEW. He says the Ciampa that jumped him is the Ciampa he remembers. He says shame on himself for not trusting his instincts and letting his guard down. He says shame on Ciampa for jumping him like a coward. Mark asks why Ciampa aligned himself with FTR. Mark says an FTR and Ciampa vs Briscoe and Young Bucks match.

Jaden takes a hard lariat from Gabe. Clark hits a high angle ddt on Jaden. Gabe piledrivers Jaden. DF hits overkill on Jaden and pins him.

Thoughts:
It was all squash here with The Dogs roughing up the jobbers and winning easy. 

We return from break and get a black screen. We then return to Toni Storm talking. Toni wants Marina Shafir in a match with everyone banned from ringside. She says she then wants her AEW Title back. She says she will see Shafir and only Shafir at Revolution.

CC euros the arm. KT forearms him. CC hits a euro flurry. KT pumping knees him then hits a raging fire for the win.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see KT win but I guess they needed to get the Don Callis Family a win in this feud. It was fine with CC working the arm and hitting euros. KT got a black eye from this. He didn't get to overdo it here and that made for a better match.

KT and Mox argue after. Hechicero nails Mox from the side and KT says "don't need it". Mox then attacks KT and Hech. CC joins in. They all fight to close the show.

Overall thoughts: This was almost all wrestling here and it definitely wore me out a little. I liked the opener. Ciampa/Garcia was fine though I didn't like Ciampa losing. Ciampa turned heel after. Swerve won a squash. The Dogs made their debut as a unit and Kross/Meg also debuted as a team. We had a four way tag which was what you would expect and a solid main with Claudio and Takeshita. It was a better show than usual and probably not one you can skip if you follow AEW. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and it was an okay show overall.
