Ciocco’s AEW Dynamite Review 2.25.26
Image Credit: AEW
Loading...SICKOS! It’s Wednesday, you know what that means! AEW Dynamite is LIVE tonight from the Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado, and as the company rolls on towards Revolution in two and a half weeks, we still have things to figure out and matches to fill out for the first PPV show of the year. To that end, tonight should help to build that road to Revolution!
The Women’s World Tag Team Titles will be on the line tonight, as Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale (herein lovingly referred to as the Babes of Wrath) will defend their belts against Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford AKA MegaBad. This feud has been on like Donkey Kong for some time now, and with the addition of Lena Kross to the events, does that mean the title reign of the first champions is doomed, or will Harley and Willow continue to reign supreme?
Speaking of tag team titles, the Men’s champions FTR will team up with The Demand to do battle with The Young Bucks, The Rascalz, and Jungle Jack Perry in an anything goes battle. Call this one “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” match, at least for the heels anyway.
Elsewhere on the card, the battle between the Don Callis Family and the Death Riders rages on, as AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley will face El Clon in what is being billed as a singles match and not an eliminator for Jon’s title. Then again, I could have sworn that they didn’t announce that in the lead-up last week when Moxley faced Mark Davis, but such is life. Speaking of Davis, he will go one-on-one with Brody King in what is assured to be a MEAT match!
In a feud that has seen the crossover of the War Dogs from New Japan to AEW, Gabe “The MADMAN” Kidd will face Orange Cassidy, and you can rest assured that both Clark Connors and Darby Allin won’t be too far behind. Finally, in anticipation of their AEW Men’s World Title match at Revolution, the Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (that’s MJF for short) and the challenger Hangman Adam Page will meet to determine what the stipulation of their match will be. What we do know is that Hangman has offered up the stipulation of a Texas Deathmatch for the title, BUT he also said that if he losses to MJF, he would never challenge for the World Title again for as long as he lives. All of this and, of course, so much more in store for us tonight!
So, how is everyone doing on this Hump Day? I want to thank the people who wished me a Happy Birthday and the people who make it worthwhile for me to do these recaps and reviews for you all. Through all of your support and even the negativity that I receive, it keeps me going and it makes me proud to be able to do this on a stage with the power that I do possess. It isn’t something that I take for granted.
But, enough about me and enough about you, let’s get ready to make the Dynamite go BOOM!
Tonight, Dynamite is live from the Mile High State! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Nigel McGuinness are on the call tonight.
Comments from the teams involved in the women’s tag team title match. Harley and Willow said they have done this dance before, so let’s do it again. Megan, Penelope, and Lena say that what they did to them in Australia was just a warning, and tonight, they will be new champions.
Excalibur runs down the rest of the card, as we get comments from The Young Bucks and FTR after Dax and Cash attacked the Jackson Family and they hit their younger brother with a stuff piledriver.
It’s time to ride that death!
AEW Continental Title Eliminator: Jon Moxley vs. El Clon
I guess I should just assume that all of Jon’s matches that are NOT title matches are eliminators instead, even when it isn’t mentioned. Also, Jon being the opening act while holding this title is definitely a vibe and a good fit. Also, having Renee at ringside for this is pretty awesome too. She gets words from Marina, who says there is no pride in that slap, only pain. El Clon has been killing it, especially for a guy whose whole gimmick is to be a corrupt copy of Hologram.
The bell rings as we get MOXLEY chants. Clon is in no hurry to get started. Lock-up, and Clon goes behind. Moxley reverses, and they do the cursed dance of the reversals. Clon with a headlock and he tries to bring Moxley to the mat, but Jon reverses and Clon fights Moxley off.
FUCK DON CALLIS chants as both men jockey for wrist control. Clon has Moxley wrapped up as he rolls forward, but Clon turns it into a side headlock. Clon with a shoulder tackle, but Moxley flips him off. Clon tries a second time, as Moxley just gets himself fired up. Clon kicks Moxley in the gut, hits the ropes, and fires off an arm drag and POSES!
Clon celebrates his achievements too long, allowing Moxley to get to his feet and he runs him over with a shoulder tackle. Clon ends up on the floor, where Moxley slams him face first off the announce table. Like a good host, he seats Clon in the chair and hammers away on his head. Moxley returns Clon to the ring and hits the release suplex for a two.
Moxley grounds Clon looking for the Bulldog Choke. Clon rolls over, but Moxley maintains control, so Clon is forced to get his foot on the rope to break the hold. Moxley corners Clon and slaps him so hard be bounces off the second turnbuckle. ONE MORE TIME chant so Moxley obliges. Moxley tries a third time, but Clon ducks and he chops Moxley. Jon eats the chops, but Clon fires in with a running forearm smash. Clon uses the tag rope to choke Moxley out!
Moxley fires back with more chops, but Clon stops that with a front heel kick and he hits a suplex. He misses his step off the ropes moonsault, but he sends Moxley out to the floor. Clon instead steps off of the barricade and hits the moonsault proper as that will take us to the break.
Clon has Moxley stretched out as we return. Moxley fights his way to his feet and just tosses Clon off and out to the floor. Clon hits a boot to the face of Moxley, but Jon returns Clon to the ring. Clon goes to fly, but Moxley nails him with an anti-air as Justin Roberts tells us there is ten minutes left.
It might not last much longer, as Moxley stomps Clon face first into the apron. He crumbles to the floor as Moxley gets back into the ring. Predictably, at the count of nine, Clon makes it back in. Perhaps less predictably, Moxley clotheslines him right back out of the ring and then hits a tope suicida!
Back in the ring, and Clon with some forearms and a kick. Moxley goes to cut him off, but Clon drops Moxley into the ropes and kicks the middle rope into his throat! Clon off the ropes, but Moxley folds him up with the King Kong Lariat! Gotch Piledriver from Moxley! The cover, but Clon kicks out at two.
Clon gets the boot up as Moxley charges him. He does a Matrix pose that allows Moxley to put on the choke! Clon rams him into the corner, but Moxley keeps it locked on! Clon fights Moxley off and sends him to the floor. Clon with a springboard triangle moonsault to the floor as he wipes out Moxley! He returns the champion to the ring and heads to the top again. This time, however, Moxley is waiting with a CUTTER!
Paul Turner starts the count on both men, as they fire up and trade shots. Moxley with a stomp, but Clon pops right back up! Thrust kick from Clon, and he heads to the top rope and hits a Double Stomp! The cover, Jon’s out at two. Less than five minutes remain now, as Clon sizes up Moxley. Portal Bomb is countered by the Paradigm Shift from Moxley! Jon with the Death Rider proper, and that’ll do it!
WINNER: Jon Moxley
TIME: 16:15
THOUGHTS: Moxley continues to deliver in these eliminators, and he keeps mowing down members of the DCF, thus making him one of the biggest babyfaces on the show. And not for nothing, but El Clon has been on a heater since he finally showed up last month.
RATING: ***3/4
We get a recap of the main event last week between Swerve Strickland and Kenny Omega. I’m not so sure that a heel turn for Strickland is a bad thing, honestly.
Prince Nana is here in the flesh! You think that Strickland cares about a 100,000-dollar fine and being suspended last weekend. He calls the commentators stupid fools and tells them get up. He introduces the Most Dangerous Man in AEW, Swerve Strickland. Strickland emerges from the crowd, and he climbs up onto the announce table. Interesting mix of boos but also SWERVE’S HOUSE chants.
You miss me, SICKOS? He figured we would enjoy what he did to Kenny Omega last week. Some of you didn’t right? That’s what happens when things happen to your favorites. He also shouts out the reenforcing of the announce table since he drove Kenny’s head through it last week. He feels no guilt for what he did to Kenny last week, because he warned him what he was going to do and he did it. Worst of all, Kenny had the gall to call someone else the most dangerous in AEW. Kenny, are you stupid?
This lines up Strickland for a shot at the World Title. Kenny, it looks like you won’t be here for a while. It’s just another EVP that he has taken out and he won’t be in his business anymore. He has taken them all down one-by-one. He wants to go back to All-In Texas when he had a conversation with Hangman. It was about regret. He asked Swerve if he had any regret about what he has done. And that point, Swerve did have regrets. But now, he lives life with no regrets moving forward. This is a warning to the AEW Roster, because he will take anyone out at any time. He can clip anyone at any time, and this a reminder in case you forgot who the most dangerous man in AEW really is.
Brody King and Bandido are here. Brody has a problem with Swerve having a problem with people saying that he is the most dangerous man in the ring. He says he has a match with Mark Davis later on tonight, and he will be back in the World Title picture. ARF!
Citrus Boy and the MADMAN are coming up next!
COMMERCIALS!
Cassidy is here post-break, and as mentioned by the intel provided by our very own Samoa Bose, we see the flier Cassidy made and offers a 15-dollar gift card to find Roddy Strong lol.
Orange Cassidy vs. Gabe Kidd
The bell rings, and Kidd looks to stomp the juice of out Orange in the corner. He takes Cassidy to the corner, talks some MADMAN shit, and hits a Beal across the ring. Kidd with a chop to the throat, but another Beal is countered with an arm drag. Cassidy with a one on the pin.
Cassidy with a side headlock, but Kidd sends him to the corner. Kidd charges the corner, but no one is home. Cassidy rams Kidd headfirst into the buckle, but Kidd turns into a MADMAN, and he rams his own head into the buckle. Kidd with a straight right hand to Cassidy and he gets a two on the pin. Kidd talks some more MADMAN shit as we head out for the break.
Kidd’s attempt to murder Cassidy continues as we return. Kidd places Cassidy on the top rope and chops him, sending him crashing down to the floor. Kidd poses in the ring before heading outside and throwing him back into the ring. Kidd rolls into the ring, but Cassidy rolls out of the ring. Kidd Goes outside, but Cassidy rolls back in. Cassidy rolls out of the ring and Kidd catches him on the floor and sends him back in. He says you want to play with me and slaps Cassidy.
Cassidy does, in fact, want to play, as he hits a Stun Dog Millionaire, sending Kidd to the floor. Cassidy throws Kidd back into the ring and heads to the top. Patented diving DDT incoming for a two. PK from Cassidy, and Orange goes around the world and spikes Kidd with the DDT!
The elbow pad is off, and Cassidy’s Orange Punch is cut off by Kidd. Gabe with a powerbomb and a high stack for a two. Backdrop Driver from Kidd follows as he screams like a, well, MADMAN! Cassidy bounces back with a left-handed lariat, sending both men down to the mat.
Both men get to their feet and “trade” shots. Obviously, Cassidy overpowers Kidd with his strikes because, well, he’s Citrus Boy! Kidd gets sucked into a Beach Break, though, but he kicks out at two. Cassidy looking Orange Punch again, but Kidd shoves Bryce Remsberg in the way! He gouges the eyes of Cassidy and hits a jumping piledriver for the win!
WINNER: Gabe Kidd
TIME: 10:10
THOUGHTS: Listen, it’s nothing against Kidd as a performer, but he doesn’t do anything for me. I feel like we already have enough MADMEN on this roster, so he doesn’t offer up all that much. And Orange Cassidy is Orange Cassidy; you know what we are getting from him.
RATING: ***
Post-match, Clark Connors is here with his fancy sunglasses, and he beats up on Cassidy. I fell hits the PA, and Darby Allin is here! He smacks Kidd with his skateboard! He offers it to Connors, who foolishly goes to pick it up, allowing Darby to hit a Destroyer! Kidd is back, and he goes for Allin, but Cassidy hits the Orange Punch! Allin to the top and he hits the Coffin Drop to the back of Kidd!
Excalibur says that Thekla will defend the Women’s World Title next week in El Paso against Thunder Rosa. That takes us to the back, where Renee has Rosa and Kris Statlander. Renee says that Kris is cleared to return on Collison this Saturday. Rosa says she wants to team with Kris to face the Sisters of Sin. Kris tells Rosa to be safe, and Rosa says that she doesn’t play it safe and she leaves. Renee wants to know why Kris is so concerned about Rosa taking this title match, but she doesn’t answer and instead walks off.
Stand-by match incoming!
AEW Trios’ Champion Kevin Knight vs. Mansoor
Hey, MAN-SWAH is on Dynamite! Good for him! The bell rings, and Mansoor takes the time to pose! He wants to touch tips with Knight, but he kicks him in the gut instead. Atomic Drop from Knight, as he mocks Mansoor holding his balls, and he dropkicks Mansoor out of the ring.
Mansoor is back and he hits a neck breaker. He stomps on Knight as he is caught in the corner. Mansoor with a Manhattan Drop and a Spinebuster! He heads to the top, but the pool is empty. Knight fires up with some clotheslines. He avoids Mansoor and hits a flying clothesline. Mansoor to the top, but Knight snaps off a Rana! Pendulum DDT from Knight, he heads to the top, and the UFO Splash is on point!
WINNER: Kevin Knight
TIME: 2:50
THOUGHTS: Fun to see Mansoor on Dynamite, but more fun to see the ascent of Kevin Knight continue! Mansoor got enough offense in for it to not be a squash, but there was no doubt who was winning this one.
RATING: ***
Post-match, Knight has the mic. He says that no matter what stipulation the World Title match ends up being, that Hangman is going to wipe the floor with MJF and regain the World Title. And, when he does that, Knight wants to throw his hat in the ring and be the first challenger for his World Title. He knows patience is a virtue, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
Speaking of Hangman and MJF, they will iron out the stipulations for said World Title match next.
COMMERCIALS!
Tony Toni Tone is in the ring post-break. He tells us that Hangman gave his word that, if he losses at Revolution, that he will never challenge for the World Title ever again. So, they are going to settle on the stipulation right now.
He introduces Hangman Adam Page, and already we can hear the heavy breathing from one Arilyn the Hang lady. Nigel mentions that Hangman is 5-0 in his career in Texas Death Matches. Nice line there, I didn’t realize that.
Tony introduces MJF, and the Devil who is on another Level is here. MJF, as always, wants them to cut his music, cut his music.
When one of the greatest wrestlers on God’s Green Earth and the Greatest Champion of all-time is talking, we shut our mouths and we listen. It pains him to say this, but Hangman was very brave last week when he offered up not challenging for the World Title again if he losses. But you’re not a historian, because you will be the second man whose career he ends when he defeats him and he cannot challenge for the World Title again. He says the fans here are too high on pot and won’t dictate his decision. PLEASE chants from the fans, and MJF throws his gum out into the crowd.
MJF says he has an idea that gives them a 50-50 chance to have the stipulation that they want. He has a quarter in his pocket, and if it ends up on tails, we will have Texas Death. But if it turns up heads, we will have the greatest stipulation match of all-time, the one-way DQ match! Meaning that MJF can use any weapon that he wants and cannot be disqualified, but if Hangman even so much as looks at a weapon, he will be disqualified. So, are you a gambler, or are you a coward?
Hangman says he will do it, but before MJF flips that coin, he needs him to understand what he is doing tonight. Because Texas Death changes you. Who will you be if he finds a bag of broken glass, and he emptied it out on the mat and tears his flesh over it. who would you be if he looks around and finds a strand of barbwire, shoved it in his mouth, ripped up his lips, and tore out his tongue? Who would you be, standing across the ring from me, knowing that your usual tricks mean nothing. For years, you have called yourself the Devil, but this Hell is mine, and if it is Texas Death, then you truly do not stand a chance.
Sure, he could beat your ass in any match in the world, even your dog shit idea. But he has put his entire future on the line, because if the Hangman is going to wrestle MJF at Revolution, then this is it. He wants to leave no doubt who the better man is. And if he can’t beat a piece of shit like you, then he doesn’t deserve the championship. Hangman knows Max and he understands him, so he is feeling like a lucky shot. So, go ahead and flip that coin and see what fate has in store for us tonight.
Max says he is feeling lucky as well, and he flips the coin he pulls out of his pocket. MJF wants Tony to call it, and he says it will be a One-Way DQ match.
MJF leaves the ring, and Hangman says hold on, give him the quarter. MJF says he isn’t giving him shit and he tries to leave. He heads to the left, but Jet Speed are there! He heads to the right, but Brody King and Bandido are there. Hangman says how dumb do you think he is? He knew that Max would pull this shit so again he asks for another quarter.
Hangman looks at the quarter, and of course it was a coin with the same side lol. Classic! Apparently, Tony Khan has left Schiavone know that because of what MJF just tried to pull, that the World Title match will be Texas Death! Hangman leaves, as MJF just dumped in his nappy of fear lol.
Excalibur lets us know that the Women’s Tag Team Title match is up next, but before that, we see the debut of the Brawling Birds last week! Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor had comments after the match last week. They aren’t here to shake hands, they are here to beat the PISS out of everyone, and they are going to get the tag team titles. Windsor says that they don’t give a FUCK, but Jamie says come on, be better. They don’t give a flying FUCK! They agree on a pint and leave.
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles Match: The Babes of Wrath (C) vs. Mega Bad W/Lena Kross
Willow and Megan come face-to-face in the ring, and Bayne with a pie face. Strikes ensue now, as Willow runs into Megan. Megan bumps her, and Willow wins out with a shoulder tackle, sitting Megan on the mat. Reversals follow, as Penelope gets a blind tag. Ford rolls up Willow for a mere one.
Willow fires Ford into the corner and clobbers her with clotheslines. She punctuates that with a scoop slam and she tags in Harley. Harley with a basement clothesline, and she gets a ride on the back of Willow as they hit a running senton to Ford! The cover, Megan comes in to make the save, but she hits Ford by mistake. This leads to things breaking down and all four ladies fight on the floor.
Willow and Harley gang up on Penelope on the floor, but Bayne takes off through the air and wipes out the champions with a tope suicida! Bayne holds both Willow and Harley up so Ford can head to the top and she hits an Asai Moonsault to both champions! That’ll take us to the break.
Megan and Harley are in the ring as we return. Taking a page from Cassidy’s playbook, she goes around the world and hits a DDT to the Megasus. Cameron tags in Willow, who proceeds to wreck shop on Bayne. Clotheslines and a booty bump in the corner from Willow. Willow misses a big boot, but she doesn’t miss a spinebuster! That gets her a two.
Megan picks up Willow, but Willow escapes and hits a German! Bayne rolls out to the floor; Willow follows out and hits the CANNONABLL! Willow rolls Megan back into the ring thinking Babe with the Powerbomb, but Kross hits Willow in the head with one of the tag team titles belts!
WINNERS: The Babes of Wrath Via DQ (Still Champions)
TIME: 8:10
THOUGHTS: It was good for what we got, these two teams do have a ton of chemistry. Surprise ending, but if Ford was legit injured, then it makes total sense. You can now load up Kross and Bayne to challenge for the titles then.
RATING: ***
The beatdown is on post-match. Commentary speculates this happened because Ford is down on the floor, and I hope not, because she just came back from a serious injury.
MEAT MANIA IS COMING UP NEXT, BROTHER!
COMMERCIALS!
VIOLENCE!!!!
Brody King vs. Mark Davis
FUCK DON CALLIS chants are followed by FUCK ICE chants. Now it’s unironic since, you know, Davis is from Australia lol.
The bell rings and neither man gains an advantage despite commentary playing up Mark’s injured hand. Again, they lock-up with no clear advantage. King does manage to shoulder Davis. Davis tries to slap King, but he uses the bad hand to do so. King chops Davis, so Mark gouges the eyes. Scoop slam from Davis, but he misses the back splash. King doesn’t, though.
King lines up Davis in the corner, but he moves and Davis hits King with a forearm. Davis from across the ring and he hits a running forearm to the head. Davis with a side headlock, but King turns that into a Death Valley Driver. FUCK DON CALLIS AND FUCK ICE TOO chants, love it! King goes to fly, but Davis with an anti-air forearm, putting King on the floor. That’ll take us to the break.
Both men are beating the crap out of each other as we return. They follow one another into the ropes before King hits a sidewalk slam. Davis ends up on the floor, as King flies out with a Tope Suicida. Davis changes levels and throws King into the barricade. He misses when he tries to follow-up though. Davis takes a seat, and King smashes into Davis with a running crossbody.
King returns Davis to the ring, and the fans BARK in approval. King with the CANNONBALL, and he picks up Davis, but Mark goes behind and applies a choke. King escapes the hold and he stomps on the bad hand of Davis. Both men trade more strikes, and Davis hits a German. Undeterred, King recovers and hits a German and a huge lariat! Both men are back up, Davis with a pump kick, and King eats his lariat to dish out one of his own. Another snug lariat from King and that’s it!
WINNER: Brody King
TIME: 10:15
THOUGHTS: There isn’t anything pretty about two big guys just beating the ever-loving crap out of each other, but there doesn’t have to be. King winning was the right call, but Davis also looked strong in yet another defeat. And we made fun of Rocky Romero for eating all the pins in the DCF.
RATING: ***3/4
King has the mic post-match. SWERVE! He wants you to look him in the eye and tell him that he isn’t who he says he is. He is number on in violence, and he is the most dangerous man in AEW. March 15th, Revolution, my backyard, I’m looking for a fight. ARF!
We see Swerve and Nana watching in the back. They nod to one another and they leave. Bandido has the mic and says he is looking for a fight too! Andrade El Idolo is here! Yeah, that works!
The Mile High Madness 10-man match is up next! But first, Renee has Kyle Fletcher. She congratulates Fletcher on his win, but this is a business where you don’t get to celebrate too long. On Saturday, Tomasso Ciampa said that he was coming for the TNT Title. Fletcher says that Ciampa held the title for, what, two weeks? It’s no longer Sylvie, it’s now Pinky, and he is the best TNT Champion of all-time!
Kazuchika Okada is here! He says he is here, unlike Takeshita, and he proposes that on Collision, they team up as ProtoKada! Kyle likes that idea, and they shake on it! That Okada is one sneaky little bastard and I love it lol.
COMMERCIALS!
Mile High Madness 10-man match: FTR and The Demand vs. The Young Bucks, The Rascalz, and Jungle Jack Perry
Jungle Jack Perry makes his entrance, but FTR and The Demand attack him! Well, it is anything goes lol. The Bucks and The Rascalz eventually make it out to even up the odds. Everyone is going to fight everywhere, so apologies in advance if I don’t keep up with everyone fighting everywhere. Also, it seems like Tarzan Boy is going to get the New Jack treatment as the song is still playing.
Stoke is about to be shoved down the stairs by the Young Bucks, but FTR save him from certain death. They use Stoke instead to knock Nick Jackson down the steps lol. Perry and Ricky end up in the ring, and the music stops. And it’s back lol! Perry clotheslines Ricky to the floor and then hits him with a satellite DDT! Toa Liona sends Perry into another dimension as he knocks him into the timekeeper’s area. The Demand and The Rascalz return to the ring, while FTR and the Young Bucks continue their battle in the crowd. That’ll take us to the show’s final break.
Liona is about to throw Dezmond Xaiver into the Multiverse, but Myron Reed makes the save with a fire extinguisher as we return. Reed hits Liona with a Flame On and kicks Kaun in the head. FTR catch him, though, and slam him face first into the announce table. Perry grabs a vacuum cleaner from under the ring. Dax has a mic and says please help me, but Perry hits him with the vacuum. He breaks the unit over the head of Liona, and the Bucks are back with a trash can. They hit double team offense to remove GOA and then Nick hits a Senton Splash onto the trash can placed on Ricky. That is good for a two.
The Bucks line up Ricky for a Superkick, but FTR are back. So are the Rascalz, as both teams unleash a SUPERKICK party on FTR. The Bucks grab a table and set it up on the floor. They try to suplex Liona out and into the table, but Toa brings both of them back into the ring by himself. Liona has Nick in his arms, but Matt with a basement dropkick. Quadruple SUPERKICK to Liona from every one of his opponents!
The Bucks and Rascalz take off and wipe out FTR and Kaun on the floor. Perry tries to piledrive Liona, but Toa reverses it and he goes SPLAT through the table! The Rascalz take out FTR, but a headbutt from Liona takes out Zachary Wentz. The Demand take turns flattening The Rascalz. Cool spot where GOA hit a Superplex on Xaiver, FTR hit Power and Glory, and Ricky hits a Springboard 450 splash! The cover, but the Bucks, Perry, and Wentz all make the save.
Rana from the Bucks and a fake out DDT in the ring, while The Rascalz hit a double team Spanish Fly to Ricky through a table! Perry tries to sunset flip Liona through another table, but he needs the Bucks to hit a tandem SUPERKICK to get the job done! The Bucks avoid the Shatter Machine and send both Dax and Cash out through another table!
The Bucks hits a double SUPERKICK to Liona, The Rascalz hit Fire Flame, and Perry hits a Destroyer! The Bucks throw Perry into Liona as he plants him with a running knee strike, and that’ll do it!
WINNERS: The Young Bucks, The Rascalz, and Jungle Jack Perry
TIME: 18:55
THOUGHTS: Usually, matches like these are setup for the babyface team to win, although it keeps the heels looking strong in defeat. That was exactly what we got in this match, as The Demand and FTR played their part in this, and the Rascalz proved that they were able to hang with the Bucks and Perry. I may not have been able to keep up with every single thing that happened, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy it.
RATING: ****1/4
Post-match, the babyfaces celebrate as the heels lick their wounds. And with that, we are done!
