Winner: Christian Cage
I went in telling myself not to overrate, not to blindly be a fanboy after not seeing this guy for years. The good news is that, without words, they told the story of Cage’s time off, his age, his stamina, Kaz’s arrogance, his frustration, his subsequent pride swelling after he hit a big move, and his ultimate demise due to the anger from taking too long to seal the deal. Aside from the wrestling, this was also a master class on how to tell a story in the ring, while commentary both fills in the gaps AND allows the rest to simply unfold.

Darby has a promo voice over with a video of he and Sting on a date to a pier at the beach. He talks of Matt inspiring generations after generations, and how he is now trying to buy people’s respect. We get a fake Matt with a mask, and Darby and Sting tossing money over the pier while someone screams money in a punk rock like manner.

WE RETURN FROM BREAK and Jade wants to talk about people being shook about us all knowing she has “IT.” She understands it’s hard to accept that Red Velvet isn’t better than her idol. She can go ahead and keep talking shit, because no one can be Jade. She is that woman, that bitch.

Apparently, those around the rings are class members current and former of The Nightmare Family.

Cody comes out with both Dustin and

Dustin tries to check on him, and QT slaps his hand away. QT enters the ring. Cody claps. QT PUNCHES ARN ANDERSON IN THE FACE!!!!!!!

Winner: No Contest
They did well enough with the story, particularly the little things – and that’s a compliment considering I think Cody sucks with subtlety. The match wasn’t the story here, though, as everything afterwards was incredibly well done. I was surprised, and a little mad that we didn’t see it coming. Not to say we should have, simply that this story isn’t groundbreaking yet still feels fresh. OF COURSE QT isn’t the only one who feels that way; Cody’s a dick. Just….man, THIS is good shit

DASHA is with Red Velvet backstage. Red says she had to help Cody, he’s her partner. In comes Jade out of nowhere to kick Red’s ass. Jade is mad she almost broke her heel with the attack, and reminds Red that she is THAT BITCH.

MOXLEY has a promo in front of lockers. He is angry. The Young Bucks try to appeal to sensibility instead of fighting, whose side are they on? Moxley is pissed. He brings up Cezar, he’s tall, looks like a Baywatch model, AEW can really make some money with him, BUT NOT IF HE KILLS HIM!! Lol. Sick.

Backstage, Team Taz has a message. His goons are seating in their individual chairs. Starks looks like a great host. He says he had a great time at Dark, felt like the old Team Taz was back. He wants to forgive the past. He calls out Cage, wondering what he thought about last night.

Cage stands, says maybe they would have won sooner if Starks did what he was supposed to do. Starks says sorry, smiles, crosses his leg, and Taz says nobody can stop the path of rage.

BACKSTAGE, MJF has a gift for Pinnacle. He introduces a new stylist and an interior decorator for their locker room. He says there is a horrible stench in the bathroom, opens the door, and there’s Jericho, Santana, Ortiz, and Sammy.

MJF says they gotta go, opens the main door, and there’s Hager. LET THE MELEE ENSUE!!! We follow Sammy and Spears. Sammy has Spears on his shoulders, and sends him into a door. Sammy then slams the door on his head.

Wardlow and Hager are fighting until Hager drops Wardlow through a massage table and yells at trainers not to touch him. Lol.

Ortiz and Santana are fighting FTR. Ortiz knocks Cash into an ice bath. Santnaa swings a chair, but it mostly hits pole. His shirt is covered in blood though, which is a nice touch. We span to Dax, and he is bloodied. Nice. I love that for some reason.

IN the locker room, Jericho is attacking MJF. He beats him down hard then looks to put his face into a toilet. He does just that, and Jericho calls MJF a piece of crap.

Jericho grabs MJF, goes all Kimberly Guilfoyle on us and tells MJF, “The Worst. Is Yet. To Come.” Then tosses MJF into a nearby soda fridge.

Y’all, I loved that segment. The entire thing, honestly, but I can’t help but think that it happened too soon. The Inner Circle got their revenge 100% but they weren’t exactly complete faces quite yet. I don’t know what I wanted before this, I just felt like an entire chapter of a solid story was missing.

MARVEZ AND THE YOUNG BUCKS are backstage. Young Bucks says he doesn’t wanna keep airing dirty laundry every week. In comes Don, tells everyone to leave except Matt. He tells Matt that he loves Omega, but Matt…Matt broke Omega’s heart. Omega chose this place. He didn’t choose AEW over life in Japan or fame, he chose Matt and Nick, based on family. What did Matt do? He chose to leave Omega in the ring bleeding like an animal. He could have helped, but chose not to – just like with his dad. Does Matt not feel anything for the people that love him? He broke Kenny’s heart. What is wrong with Matt? No explanation, right? Just gonna go and count your money. Don doesn’t know how he is supposed to get through to Matt.

Don slaps Matt in the face. Matt grabs Don by the neck, stares him down, then calms his tits.

Don: “Really…that’s it, ey? That’s all. Is there anything inside you at all? Matt, you are truly pathetic. You make me sick.”

Holy shit….that did NOT win me over in the slightest regarding The Young Bucks, but Don killed it.

Before the match, Rey hits a moonsault on everyone cuz fuck it.

Winner: Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers
Son of a bitch. One of my favorite things to do at Cali indy shows was yell at Rick Knox for totally sucking at his job. It was a good time. For some reason, I hold a slightly higher standard for the matches on AEW television, and tonight is one of those times. Don’t get me wrong, I loved every minute of this, but it’s inconsistent with the rest of the show. This isn’t a complaint so much as an observation, and where the term Indyriffic comes from. Still…Rey F’n Fenix, man. Holy hell.

Omega and Good Brothers celebrate. Jon Moxley comes out to watch. The three men in the ring stare him down. Jon saunters down the step to the stage. He is close enough to the ropes.

The Young Bucks come out to join Moxley. They side him. Three v Three, it looks like.

The Young Bucks and Jon enter the ring, but Good Brothers and Omega run!

WE ARE BACK, and Britt and Rebel are looking for Tony. He’s late, apparently, so Reba takes over. Britt sells Elevation, the show where she helps elevate newer wrestlers, and couldn’t help but see Rosa on the show, and what a wonderful platform for her to get her wins up. She says the biggest win of Thunder Rosa’s career didn’t even count because the match wasn’t sanctioned. But worry not, Britt is here to put the women’s division on the map.

Matt Hardy cuts a mini promo for Bunny. He says starting April 1, he starts earning 100% of his money.

JEEEEEEEESUUUUSSSS!!! My one complaint? My ONE complaint?! It’s that Orange Cassidy wasn’t Orange Cassidy enough. But damn…..that’s all I got, because this was so much damned fun. Miro looked like a beast, and even if that wasn’t the goal, and the return of Trent and the action of Orange and Chuck was the highlight, Miro’s psycho obsession with Chuck and his monstrous persona is just killing it.

End Show

10.0
The final score: review Virtually Perfect
The 411
Wow. Just...wow. This show had it all. The opener was amazingly methodical, told an awesome story, didn't rush, and proved that wrestlers are the story tellers, not the commentary team. Moxley brought the heat with promo skills that are both specific to his character yet fully aware of the world that he and the other wrestlers live in. QT's turn was inevitable, and the match was predictable, but that stable was NOT at all, yet didn't come off as farcical, and even the fact that I have no clue who these people are other than students of the Nightmare Family, that was totally enough for me to buy it and love it all. MJF continues to toe the line of comedy and seriousness with help from The Inner Circle, Don Callis surprises the hell out of me with a no-nonsense belittling of Matt Jackson, and that main event was fun on so many levels. Truly, when I consider the show as a whole, and as unequal parts, my only slight hesitation of enjoyment was simply that The Inner Circle got their revenge so quickly after being thwarted by MJF, but that's gotta be the epitome of nit-picking. I am in awe with how well this entire episode was, but not in awe that the second 10/10 ever goes to AEW. Wow.
