Best Friends defeated Private Party & SCU @ 16:05 via pin [***¾] This was a really good opener, with an all action layout to kick things off and everyone getting time to shine and Private Party impressing in their debut.
– Dark Order cuts a promo on the video screen and they are coming for the Best Friends. They the minions arrive. Lights out and they disappear.
– The Bucks joke about bleeding money and not getting private jets as they film “a documentary.” They only got cheese sandwiches and a pool party, but got none of that. Kenny meets with them and says they will have new gear tonight. Kenny blew half the budget on it and they cannot afford half the models now. They replace them with mannequins.
– Leva Bates arrives and shushes the crowd, because she’s a librarian. Peter Avalon, the other librarian is also there. He decapitates a mannequin as Bates talks about the gamers in attendance and puts over reading. This librarian shit is dying a death. She rambles on as Avalon repeats her.
– Allie arrives.
Allie vs. Leva Bates: Allie is apparently replacing Kylie Ray with no explanation. Bates shushes her, and avoids the lock up. Allie cuts her off and attacks her shushing hand.

Bates counters back, hits a rough looking back stabber and pedigree for 2. Avalon gives Bates a book, but Allie takes it and superkicks bates for the win. Allie defeated Leva Bates @ 8:55 via pin [*½] This was ok at best, but slow and disjointed with Bates controlling way too much, and it came off as a really poor debut for Allie due to that. AEW should never have Bates wrestle again, she was bad here, and the gimmick sucks.

He pulls out push buttons, spills them out and backdrops Nakazawa into them. Alex follows with kendo shots, low blow and Alex cradles him but the ref is distracted and Nakazawa counters into a venom tentacle and cradle for the win.

I also love the Jungle Boy/Luchasaurus pairing.

Allin picks up the pace, but Cody takes him to the ropes and takes him down. Allin fights to his feet, and arm drags Cody to the floor. Cody stall a bit, back in and Allin cradles him for 2.

Cody wants more time and Shawn Spears attacks Cody wit a chair shot to the head, busting him open. Cody vs. Darby Allin went to a draw @ 20:00 [****] JR was really great here, putting over Allin on almost a Foley like level like he used to do on Raw. I am all about AEW Cody, working composed matches with great stories and leaving the circus at home. This was really great, with Cody calling a great match, the timing coming off well, and a finish that protects Allin makes him look like a player and keeps Cody undefeated heading into the next show and sets up an angle with Spears. I also loved them establishing draws as a viable finish early on, and this was the perfect time to use it. The only fear is that the Spears angle will be remembered more than Allin’s performance.
Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, & Nick Jackson vs. The Lucha Bros. & Laredo Kid: The Elite are dresses and Ken, Ryu, & Akuma from Street fighter. Nick and Kid begin, they lockup and work into counters and end in a stalemate. Kid follows with strike and chops, hits an enziguri and hits a high cross.

Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, & Nick Jackson defeated The Lucha Bros. & Laredo Kid @ 20:20 via pin [****¼] This was great and exactly the match I expected and wanted from these six. It was a great high octane sprint, with lots of great moves and tremendous pacing. Everyone looked great, the crowd loved it and Laredo Kid got to shine in front of a big audience. It was also completely different from everything else on the show, so even tough it wasn’t anything revolutionary, it sticks out and did it’s job.
Non-Sanctioned Match: Jon Moxley vs. Joey Janela: No NJPW tights for Moxley tonight, he’s in fight mode. They go face to face and Janela pie faces him so Moxley fires back but Janela dumps him and hits a suicide dive. They brawl at ringside, and into the crowd.

Jon Moxley defeated Joey Janela @ 20:10 via pin [****] This was a great main event that played to the stipulation well, delivering on the promised violence and was simply good and crazy, which is what it needed to be.
– Omega attacks post match and piledrives Moxley through the table and lays another on him and hits the springboard double stomp to get some revenge for Double or Nothing. They brawl to the stage, and Omega slams him into the drum kit and nails him with an electric guitar. Moxley is helped out by refs but he tosses them off the ramp and Omega returns and attacks with trashcan shots. Omega hits death rider onto the trashcan and stands tall… but Moxley smiles.
