Hello, everyone and welcome to our live AEW Battle of the Belts IV coverage on 411! I’m Jeremy Thomas, here tonight as we’re in a second hour of AEW television. The company’s TNT special is airing tonight right after Rampage because why not? Tonight’s show has three matches as PAC defends the AEW All-Atlantic Championship against Trent Beretta, Willow Nightingale looks to unseat Jade Cargill as TBS Champion, and FTR defend the ROH Tag Team Championships against The Gates of Agony. Should be a fun little show, and let’s just get right into it.

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

* We’re starting with PAC having just defended the AEW Trios Titles with Death Triangle, and launching right into the All-Atlantic Championship match.

Winner: PAC (14:22)
Rating: *** 1/2
Thoughts: Great match to start us off. The cheap win was expected after PAC just competed on Rampage, and I honestly have zero complaints here outside of their need to go in and out the ring so much.

Orange Cassidy is out immediately after and attacks PAC. Security holds him back.

* Tony Schiavone is backstage with Jericho and 2point0. They talk about how Daniel Garcia ate a piece of humble pie on Dynamite and it was nice to see him do his thing, but it’s time to come home. Jericho says that he was disappointed in Garcia and they taught him a lesson in sports entertainment. Tony says it’s a lesson in cheating, and Jericho gets pissed. He promises to desecrate the legacy of Ring of Honor against Danielson on Dynamite as Lionheart.

* We get a promo with Claudio hyping the Jericho vs. Danielson match and saying he wants a match with the winner.

Thoughts: Perfect solid Jade match. The bout result was never in doubt but it gave Willow a chance too look competitive for a bit and put her over further, while also getting Jade to 39 – 0.

After the match, Vickie Guerrero comes out with “EXCUSE ME!” Byle then grabs the title and runs off with it! The Baddies chase after and Jade goes to the back.

* Matt Hardy is backstage to talk to Stokely and Ethan Page and asks why they’re sticking their noses in his business. They say they’re done because RUSH was a good employer and laid down the law to Private Party. They accuse Matt of contract tampering again and shows video of Matt talking to Private Party backstage. Matt stammers and says he’s just giving them advice and not contract tampering. He threatens to delete Ethan and Stokely backs Ethan off before leaving.

* We’re backstage with HOOK who still has his envelope from the Trust Busters, but he refuses to open it and tears it in half.

* They break down the card for next week’s Dynamite.
