Match Time: Stopwatch Issues
We get an MJF video package, where he was on a podcast. HE was informed by doctors that he was told by doctors he shouldn’t travel if he wanted to be 100%. He calls Full Gear the most important match of his career, but also the history of our sport. This could be the potential crowning of the next generation. Every once in a blue moon, we get a Flair, Rhodes, Cena, Rock, Hogan. All of these men were generational talents, and that’s what he is. So here is what’s going to happen: All he has to do is have a long, fruitful title reign, and all that is in his way is Jon Moxley. He thinks Moxley is a piece of shit, has no class, but he does respect him. Jon was not born to be a champion He was born with two left feet, and MJF respects him because Jon had to work his ass off to get to where he was, wrestling for $15 for 15 people over and over until eventually he became the best. Know this, Moxley is about to lose that handle, because MJF was born to be THE Professional Wrestler. He is the guy who can come on the #1 podcast, movies, tv shows, and wave the flag of AEW and pro-wrestling, and bring it back as something that everyone is talking about. Everyone is aware that that throne is for the taking, and MJF is going to take it. He is sick of waiting his turn. He has had the spotlight stolen in his big moments. His first PPV? A neck tattoo took the spotlight. How bout when Matt Hardy took a fall like humpty dumpty? Or Jericho getting the spotlight after falling off the cage, and his big return? His spotlight was on a press conference.
At Full Gear, he is GRABBING the spotlight, and Jon will have to take it out his cold, dead hand. Regal bet on the wrong horse. He doesn’t need his ring. Come Full Gear, the devil gets his due.
Well damn.
Video package after the break for Stokely. He says that he thought his best friend, MJF, was just like him. Instead of being by his side, he is dick-riding Moxley. He doesn’t need MJF, so win, lose, or draw, at Full Gear, he’ll see MJF in hell.
Match 2: Ethan Page vs Eddie Kingston
We get a history lesson of these two by commentary as Eddie scares Ethan into the corner. Side headlock from Kingston. Ethan hits the ropes, but Eddie holds on. Eddie is sent outside, and Page flies off the apron with a shouylder tackle to Eddie. Page rolls Eddie into the ring. Elbow to the top of the head. Right hand to the face. Whip to Eddie. Reversed, knee to Page. Double underhook into a supelx. Cover for 1..2…NO!!!! both men to the outside. Page grabs the head. Suplex to Eddie on the outside!!

Eddie captures the leg for an Exploder, but Page elbows out of it. Elbow to the Jaw, Kingston holds the wrist, pulls Page in, Exploder suplex! Kinston with a stretch, and Page taps!!!

Match Time: 1:49
Wardlow with the mic. He calls Hobbs out immediately.
Here comes Hobbs, smiling, says they’re doing this on his time. Wardlow says he has a suitable opponent, finally, and thanks fro coming out face to face like a man. Wardlow tells Hobbs he aint getting the title, it’s his, it will always be his. In fact, he’ll take every title in this company.

Jade confirms a match agains Nyla at Full Gear by repeating herself in a promo.
Tony is in the middle of the ring, and he introduces Britt Baker.
Saraya is next.
Saraha talks first, says we are all wondering if she is cleared. A few weeks ago, she did some x-rays and MRIs and unfortunately….for Britt…she is 100% cleared.
Saraya: “AEW is MY HOUSE!”
Britt calls us fickle, and wonders if Saraya still knows how to do this. She says WE aren’t clear. Why has Saraya been coming after Britt since day one? Britt build AEW from the ground up, till it became a fortress that superstars like Saraya wanted to move into, and she is damned proud of it. BUT, that pride turns into resentment really quickly, when Saraya has the audacity to skip in here and call it her house. It’s funny, she doenst recall Saraya laying a single brick. She finally gets it, she knows why Saraya is obsessed with Britt. Britt is everything Saraya wishes she could have been, and if you think that’s not true, let’s not forget that Saraya left her house and walked into mine. We don’t take walk-ins, so bitch make an appointment.
It’s cute how Britt puts herself on a pedestal considering her position was handed to her by Khan, was fed a bunch of trainees by QT. Saraya says Britt doesn’t know what it takes to be a superstar, let alone a star. She traveled up and down the UK for free cu she loves this business. She was hit by a car, and wrestled the same day because she loved this business. Britt doesn’t know what it takes to make it. She started resolutions before they were a trend and before wrestlking was even a twinkle in Britt’s eye. She has done MSG, the O2, and the Tokyo Dome, and now she is in front of an ungrateful BITCH. She has been humiliated, battled her drug addiction publicly. She has given her career and neck for this business. Britt doesn’t have a clue what it takes to make it. But here is another opportunity for her on a silver platter. This will be Saraya’s comeback story, and Britt’s biggest match of her career. Saraya vs Britt at Full Gear.
Britt attacks but Saraya reverses and hits her finisher!
WE are backstage, and Lethal and co are paying QT.
Danhausen, OC, and Best Friends walk up to point. Orange tells Lee not to hit his friend. QT says The Factory lieks to fight in the ring, so how bout this Friday, Lee Johnson.
OC says sure.
Trent calls Lethal and Dutt a scumbag. He wants to fight. So Trent vs Jay tonight.
Oh look, it’s next.

Match 3: Trent Barretta vs Jay Lethal
Bell rings and Trent beats down Jay against the ropes! Lethal kicks the knee hard, kicks the back of the knee, Jay drops the knee onto his leg and hits another dragon screw sending Trent to the outside.
Finally, Danhausen and Chuck come down to help out Trent as we go to break.

Dutt on the mic, introduces Jeff Jarrett, and out he comes with his guitar.
Yeah, that’s right, after over a million views of his debut, it’s apparent. So why is he here in AEW? He’ll tell us why. When a friend calls, a friend shows up. He showed up to help and put a plan together, and it started last week. How did these four connect? Jay Lethal? Jeff signed him to his first contract. He has beaten Ric Flair, Sting, and is a Grand Slam Champ. SOnjay has an IQ of 181 or some shit. As for Singh, he is a giant. He tells camera man to slow pan up the guy. This is not some red-nosed monster who wears skinny jeans and is produced by banana-nosed circus. Oh. Singh is the only player in the history of NBA to be born and bred.
He calls out Darby and Sting, promises each of them body bags. We get a camera guy tellin him to hurry it up. Jeff tells this guy not to ever do that. Jeff tries to grab the crew member, chases him down the ramp. Dutt stops him from doing any actual damage. Lol.
Backstage, Jungle Boy is with Renee. He says the last he heard, Cage was done with him, but he doesn’t get to decide when this is over, and last week was just the beginning. Renee asks about Full Gear. JB has a challenge, but he wants to do this face to face on Friday.
JON MOXLEY is here with Regal. Jon wonders how old he was when he and Regal first met. 25? 26?
Back then he was young and full of piss and vinegar. He thought he had it all figured out. He loved to talk trash. He wanted to be just like Regal. He wanted to be a real top guy. So to prove it, he tried to fight Regal. That did not go well. Regal tortured Jon, brutalized him, kicked the hell out of him, and it pissed him off cuz he found out where he was on the food chain. So he trained harder, and came back to fight Regal. He knocked him out and ripped his ear off. Regal told him then, “and now the real work begins.”
Who does that kid remind you of, Regal?
MJF, of course.
So well over a year ago, MJF challenged him, thought he had it all figured out, thought it was. His time, so Moxley sent him home and let him know where he stood. Months later, he’s back for another shot. So what will be different this time? Who IS MJF?
We know the MJF that he shows to the world – he dresses very nice with clothes his mom bought him at JC Penney. He talks the talk of a big time World Champion. But Moxley actually is a champion with money, so you cant fool him. MJF calls himself a pillar, even though he holds no weight on his back. MJF calls himself the devil.
Jon and Willy have a good laugh at that.
Jon tells MJF directly, he has seen the devil, he has met the devil, he has looked into his eyes. He has met some very bad people in bad places and seen bad people do bad thing…
Jon: “Dude, you are not that. You are not that at all.”
Jon wants MJF as Regal wants him, to fulfil the potential he has. They are teachers. MJF can talk the trash, but Jon is not worried. He wants to know what MJF has in his guts. When MJF steps into the ring in his hometown, remember one thing – everything you’ve done up to this point has beeneasy.
WE get a video package for The Elite, seemingly turning back time, and ending with a graphic of them looking as if they’ll be back in action at Full Gear.
Match 4: Skye Blue vs Jamie Hayter
Skye quickly sends Jamie to the outside off a distraction. Hayter takes control, lifting Skye onto her shoulder. Skye floats off, sends Hayter into the post. Back to the rin, Jamie cant stand, rope work, Blue with a wheelbarrow, arm drag, running knee against the ropes. Skye hits the ropes, Britt grabs the boot!!! Jamie with a backbreaker! Over head toss!
