Zero Hour — Renee Paquette & Jeff Jarrett

Renee Paquette and Jeff Jarrett welcomed us on the stage to run down tonight’s card. Above the ring, we saw the cage set up for the 12‑man tag — circular in shape, not the same design used for last year’s main event.

Drilla Moloney vs. Daniel Garcia (w/Marina Shafir)

Garcia won the early scramble, but Moloney popped up and mowed him down with repeated shoulder tackles, forcing Garcia to bail to the floor. Moloney followed with heavy chops, sending Garcia into the front row. Shafir distracted Moloney, letting Garcia blast him with a running knee and a dragon screw on the floor. Garcia took a long running start into a shotgun dropkick, flipped off McGuinness, then zeroed in on Moloney’s knee back in the ring. Shafir added cheap shots and flipped off the crowd, with Death Riders clearly working heel.

Moloney fought out of a grapevine leg lock into a rollup for two, but Garcia stayed in control with corner punches, faking his dance. They traded standing switches until Moloney picked up the pace and hit a perfect dropkick, even on the bad leg.

After a strike exchange, Garcia ran into a pop‑up powerbomb into a high stack for two. Up top, Moloney rolled through and sold the leg, allowing Garcia to sink in the Dragon Tamer, but Moloney got the rope break. They traded fireman’s carry attempts, Moloney nearly switching Garcia into a Drilla Killa, but Shafir hopped on the apron to distract the ref. Garcia recovered and hit Twist and Shout, mocking Tanahashi’s air guitar. Garcia charged for a running knee, but Moloney caught him in mid‑air, swung him around, and spiked him with a Drilla Killa for the win.

Winner: Drilla Moloney

Skye Blue vs. Maika — TBS Title Survival of the Fittest Qualifying Match

During Maika’s entrance, STARDOM President Taro Okada was shown sitting ringside. Julia Hart accompanied Skye Blue, but referees immediately sent her backstage. Blue tried to dictate the pace early, but Maika’s speed let her hit quick takedowns and score a fast near fall. Blue rolled through a suplex into a cradle, then lit up Maika with forearms. Maika side‑stepped into a drop toe‑hold, but Blue hit a low bridge and a PK on the apron. Blue tried a hurricanrana, Maika blocked it, and powered her into an apron powerbomb. Back inside, Maika locked in a cross arm‑breaker, but Blue screamed and scrambled to the ropes.

Blue suckered Maika in with a Flatliner into the ropes and hit a face wash for two. The crowd started getting behind Maika, who cut off Blue’s trash talk with a run of suplexes and short‑arm lariats. They fought up in the corner, where Maika hit a superplex for a near fall. Maika tried another on the opposite side, but Blue slid out, hit a Cheeky Nandos kick, and followed with a Liger Bomb for two.

They slugged it out, then traded corner strikes until Blue hit a Tornado DDT for another near fall. Maika hit a misdirect powerslam and went for a Michinoku Driver, but Blue floated over into a thrust kick. Maika rolled to the ropes, dragged Blue out, and hit a brainbuster on the apron. Back inside, Maika hit the Hammerlock Michinoku Driver to score the victory.

Winner: Maika

Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross) vs. Thunder Rosa & Olympia — AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles

Rosa showed no hesitation, charging straight at Kross at the bell, but Kross quickly ran her over with a shoulder block. Rosa fought off both champions with chops and sprinted to tag Olympia, leading to stereo hurricanranas that sent Bayne and Kross to the floor. Rosa hit a tornillo, and Olympia followed with a springboard dive onto the pile. Back inside, Rosa tried to control Bayne, but Bayne cut her off and the champions isolated Rosa, hitting an electric chair into the top buckle. Rosa low‑bridged Kross, Bayne stopped the tag at first, but Rosa side‑stepped and Bayne spilled outside, letting Olympia make the hot tag.

Olympia launched Kross with a shotgun dropkick, then hit the headstand dropkick. She followed with a Samoan Drop after a few squats for two. Rosa tagged back in and hit a lungblower. Olympia slammed Bayne, then used Kross in the corner as a launchpad for a moonsault onto Bayne. Rosa catapulted off Olympia’s back for a dropkick, and Olympia hit another springboard splash on Bayne for two.

Bayne fought back with a front‑face suplex on Rosa. Kross tagged in and steamrolled Rosa for a near fall. McGuinness pointed out referee Mike Posey’s lenient tagging, chalking it up to being scared of all four women. The match broke down with everyone hitting big moves, ending with Bayne’s flying lariat on Rosa for a reset.

Kross and Olympia slugged it out. Bayne tagged in and hit a wild corner hurricanrana. Rosa flew in with a shotgun dropkick off the top. Kross tried a ripcord, but Bayne flew in and accidentally wiped out Kross. Olympia showed off her strength, gorilla‑pressing Bayne, and Rosa followed with a double stomp from the top, but Kross made the save.

A slightly awkward exchange between Kross and Rosa followed, before Bayne planted Rosa with Fate’s Decent, only for Olympia to break it up. Olympia then ate a shotgun dropkick/German suplex combo. Divine Dominion finished Rosa with From Heaven to Hell — their double chokeslam — to retain the titles.

Winners: Divine Dominion

AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2026 Results

The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) vs. El Sky Team (Mistico & Mascara Dorada) vs. Unbound Company (Shingo Takagi & Titan)

Handshake to start, but Titan wasted no time with a quick dropkick. Mistico answered instantly with arm drags and a springboard hurricanrana. Dorada and Nick tagged in and went full speed, countering each other until they hit a double dropkick into a kip‑up that blew the crowd up. Matt blind‑tagged and The Bucks hit their pop‑up dropkicks and buckle bomb/enzugiri combo. A slingshot enzugiri and top‑rope double stomp had The Bucks standing tall.

Dorada fought back with arm drags and enzugiris, flipping into a double arm drag. Takagi tagged in, using his power to slow Dorada, but still ate a hurricanrana before running through him. Titan and Takagi used quick tags to keep Dorada grounded until Mistico returned with a springboard hurricanrana and springing arm drag. The Bucks got just enough of a pop‑up hurricanrana, but Dorada flew in with one of his own. Nick hit another off the ropes, Titan kept the hurricanrana train rolling, and The Bucks took one together. Dorada then hit a scary top‑rope hurricanrana to the pile outside — possibly a record for hurricanranas in such a short span.

Back inside, Mistico and Dorada hit locomotion splashes and a gorgeous powerbomb/powerslam combo on Titan for two. Matt blind‑tagged, blocked Dorada’s Tornillo arm drag, and hit rolling Northern Lights. Takagi cut him off with a pump‑fake DDT and a Veg‑o‑matic for two. Matt used Takagi as a wall to hit Titan with Sliced Bread, then tagged Nick, who hit his lucha arm drag. Mistico blind‑tagged and hit a double arm drag on The Bucks, followed by stereo 619s and dives outside, ending with Dorada’s Shooting Star Press.

Mistico measured Titan, floated over a Code Red, and we got a wild Superkick Party. Takagi no‑sold and shut it down until everyone kipped up and hit a four‑way superkick on Takagi and Titan. Matt, Titan, and Nick hit a series of Destroyers, collapsing the whole field.

Takagi charged in locomotion style, Mistico dodged and tried a Spanish Fly, but Matt broke it up with an elbow.

Titan hit a Tornado DDT, Takagi hit a sit‑out slam, Titan hit a double stomp for two, but Nick broke it up and made the legal tag.

The Bucks and Unbound slugged it out. Dorada flew in with a crossbody, got caught, took a superkick, then hit a crucifix bomb. Titan was caught on a springboard, and The Bucks hit the Meltzer Driver for the win in an insane opener.

Winners: The Young Bucks

Post‑match, The Bucks applauded Mistico on their way up the ramp.

Kenny Omega vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

They opened with an even scramble, trading holds until Omega got the first pin attempt, ending in a stalemate. They fought for a test of strength, Sabre snapped Omega’s neck with his feet and blasted him with a hard uppercut. Omega floated out of the corner into a snap hurricanrana, sending Sabre outside, where Omega followed with a slingshot crossbody. Sabre wrenched Omega’s wrist on the floor, slamming it over the guardrail, but Omega responded by repeatedly slamming Sabre into the announce table, placing the sign on top and double‑stomping Sabre from the apron. They fought on the table until Sabre locked in an Octopus Hold, both rolling off to the floor, and Sabre politely put the sign back.

Back inside, Sabre stomped the right arm and threw uppercuts. Omega fired back, both trading Helluva Kicks. Omega hit a Kotaro Crusher and running face‑palm slam, sending Sabre outside again, then hit the Terminator Dive. Omega followed with a springboard dropkick and Ushigoroshi. He signaled for a V‑Trigger too close, letting Sabre grab and snap his finger, leading to a loud strike battle. Omega floated over a Zack Driver into a Snap Dragon. Sabre scrambled for a submission, Omega countered into a cross arm‑breaker attempt, Sabre rolled free into a PK. Omega dared him to keep kicking, Sabre obliged with another PK. Omega blocked the third, tried another Snap Dragon, Sabre spun into an armbar, but Omega got the ropes.

Sabre absorbed chops and went after the arms, so Omega switched to a kick to the back. Omega’s arms gave out trying to lift Sabre. Sabre screamed “F*ck You Kenny,” charged, and got turned inside out by an Omega lariat. Omega hit a V‑Trigger and tried an Avalanche One‑Winged Angel, but Sabre slipped out into a rear naked choke. Omega fell backward, both crashing hard.

Omega got up first, hit multiple knee lifts, Sabre blocked the third, went to an ankle lock, then PK, but Omega popped up with another knee. Omega hit a V‑Trigger to the back and spiked Sabre with a Poison Rana for two. Omega called for another V‑Trigger, Sabre countered into a bridging pin for two. Omega hit a pulling piledriver.

Winner: Kenny Omega

Jon Moxley vs. Bandido — AEW Continental Title

Bandido hit his signature poses early, so Moxley responded by repeatedly flipping him off. Bandido tried a monkey flip, Moxley rolled through and celebrated like he’d won the match. They drew a line in the center of the ring and ramped up a strike exchange. Moxley changed levels, Bandido cut him off and went for a dive, but Moxley rolled back inside and hit a Tope Suicida. Moxley took too long to follow up, letting Bandido hit a somersault dive.

Back inside, Bandido charged for a corner splash, but Moxley absolutely crushed him with double boots in mid‑air. They went right back outside, where Moxley positioned the steps and piledrove Bandido onto them, busting him open. Moxley ripped at the mask back in the ring, but focused too long, allowing Bandido to hit a running powerbomb for the reset.

They slugged it out. Moxley bit Bandido’s forehead, but Bandido answered with a Sky Twister off the top and flying forearms. The crowd loudly counted ten corner punches. Bandido hit a shotgun dropkick into a Shining Wizard for two. He followed with a wildly impressive one‑armed gorilla press slam, then went up top, but took too long doing the shimmy and Moxley got the knees up on the Frog Splash.

They traded big boots. Moxley whiffed on a lariat, Bandido hit a German suplex and teased the 21‑Plex, but Moxley turned him inside out with a lariat and hit the Death Rider — Bandido kicked out. They fought up top, Bandido lifted his mask to bite Moxley, then hit the Revolution Fly for the closest near fall of the match.

Bandido tried the 21‑Plex again, Moxley held on, Bandido flipped to the apron, and Moxley sank in a rear naked choke. Bandido rolled back into the Piper/Hart pin for two, but Moxley transitioned into the Bulldog Choke. Bandido started fading, then powered to his feet with Moxley on his back. Bandido did the sign of the cross, ran, and fell backward hoping to break the hold — but Moxley held on. Bandido passed out.

Winner: Jon Moxley

Post‑match, Brody King came to check on Bandido. Moxley pulled Bandido up and shook his hand, showing respect.

Shota Umino vs. PAC — IWGP Global Title

PAC jumped Umino at the bell, knocking him outside and into the guardrail. Excalibur noted Umino had been keeping his head on a swivel ever since Gabe Kidd blindsided him at Dominion. PAC hit a top‑rope dropkick back inside for two and locked in the first chin lock of the night. Umino no‑sold a big boot, hit a dropkick, and they traded stiff corner shots. Umino hit a snap fisherman’s suplex for a near fall. PAC got caught between the ropes, letting Umino hit his slingshot DDT before high‑fiving fans. PAC tried to create distance, but Umino sprinted around ringside into a shotgun dropkick and followed with a draping DDT off the guardrail. A high‑stack powerbomb fired up the crowd, but Umino took too long playing to them, allowing PAC to hit a release overhead belly‑to‑belly into the corner.

PAC tried setting up a table, but Umino cut him off and placed it himself. PAC answered with a spin kick to the ribs and a massive springboard moonsault to the floor. Back inside, PAC hit an Avalanche belly‑to‑belly for two. PAC paint‑brushed Umino, daring him to fight. Umino hulking up led to PAC hitting multiple bounce‑back Germans, but Umino kept no‑selling, so PAC ended the defiance by Awesome Bombing Umino from the ring to the floor through the table, earning loud “Holy Sh*t” chants. PAC hit a 450 Splash for two and immediately locked in the Brutalizer. Umino faded but barely got a foot on the ropes.

PAC went up top again, rolled through, but Umino met him with a discus forearm and a headbutt that dropped PAC. Umino waited for PAC to rise and hit the strike knee for a close near fall. Umino missed a lariat, PAC hit a Poison Rana, Umino popped up and took PAC’s head off with a lariat for two. Umino hit the Paradigm Shift, then followed with the Second Chapter to score the victory.

Winner: Shota Umino

Post‑match, Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir came to ringside to check on PAC. Moxley stepped into the ring and stared down his former protégé. Before anything could happen, Hiroshi Tanahashi’s music hit. The President of New Japan Pro Wrestling walked out, prompting Moxley and his crew to bail. Tanahashi placed the Global Title around Umino’s waist and raised his hand, giving his official stamp of approval to The Roughneck.

Thekla vs. Starlight Kid — AEW Women’s Title

STARDOM President — and sworn enemy of Thekla — Taro Okada was shown ringside cheering Kid before the match. Thekla’s entrance featured fire dancers on stage, with Thekla standing between them as they spit fire in a striking visual. Tony Schiavone joined commentary while Renee Paquette, positioned at ringside, reminded viewers that Kid holds two wins over Thekla, who vowed to burn everything down tonight.

Kid used her speed early, forcing Thekla to retreat. Thekla suckered her in back inside, ripping at the mask and mocking the crowd. She argued with referee Rick Knox, giving Kid the opening to unload with punches. Thekla broke free and posed in the ropes, only for Kid to dropkick her to the floor. Thekla swept Kid’s legs on the apron, sending Kid clutching her ankle. Thekla threw Kid into the guardrail and punched away before locking eyes with Okada. They had an intense face‑off, and Thekla nearly swung at him until Kid slapped her to stop it, drawing a disappointed reaction from the crowd.

Thekla regained control inside and kept Kid grounded until Kid hit a springboard crossbody. A standing moonsault got Kid a near fall. Kid targeted Thekla’s right leg with a dragon screw between the ropes and tried Numero Dos, but Thekla raked the eyes to escape. Thekla locked in her spider choke in the ropes, then went up top, taking too long and allowing Kid to hit a second‑rope arm drag. Kid tried to follow up, but Thekla cut her off and joined her up top for a Spider Suplex.

Thekla played to the crowd too long again, letting Kid recover and hit a dropkick on the apron. Kid tried a Tiger Suplex out there, Thekla fought free, but ran straight into a nasty knee lift. Kid hit a violent Black Tiger’s Divine Punishment on the apron and followed with a Fisherman’s Suplex inside for two. Kid went up top but missed a moonsault. Thekla launched in with a Spear. She missed a Curb Stomp, and Kid hit a snap dropkick to the back for the reset.

Dueling chants filled the arena. They traded shots, Kid stood tall, but ran into a Thekla home‑run right hand. Thekla hit a running boot between the ropes and went up top for her crossbody, getting a near fall. She struck her spider pose and went for another Spear, but Kid dropkicked the leg and locked in Numero Dos, even capturing the head. Thekla barely reached the ropes.

Kid hit another Black Tiger’s Divine Punishment and crushed Thekla with a moonsault for two. Thekla escaped a Spider Suplex into an O’Connor Roll for two — which looked like a visible three — but the match continued. Thekla spidered out of a lariat, hit another Spear, but Kid kicked out. Thekla spiked Kid with a Curb Stomp, screamed that it wasn’t over, hit a second Curb Stomp, and finally secured the win. Okada looked devastated, with Nigel McGuinness saying this is the monster he created.

Winner: Thekla

Post‑match, Julia Hart and Skye Blue entered with scissors and handed them to Thekla. Thekla ripped Kid’s mask off. Knox rushed in with a towel to cover Kid’s face. Thekla spat on the mask, walked to Okada, shoved it in his face, and beat him with it. Schiavone apologized for Thekla’s deplorable actions as the Triangle of Madness celebrated up the ramp.

Cope & Cage vs. The Dogs (David Finlay & Clark Connors) — AEW Tag Team Titles

The Dogs attacked photographers on the ramp during their entrance. The crowd sang along to Copeland’s theme, while Nigel McGuinness sang Cage’s. Early on, Cage got a sunset flip on Connors, and Copeland outwrestled Finlay on the mat. Cage hit a drop toe hold on Connors, sending him face‑first into Finlay’s groin. Finlay offered Cage a handshake, but Cage knew it was a trap. Connors side‑stepped a charge and Cage posted himself to the floor.

Back inside, The Dogs isolated Cage’s arm for a long stretch, with Connors burning a matchstick into Cage’s face. Cage fought back from the opposite corner, but Connors swept Copeland’s leg to stop the tag. Connors placed Cage’s injured forearm under the ring steps and prepared to dive off the apron, but Copeland made the save and launched Connors into the commentary table.

Cage finally broke free and Copeland made the hot tag, spiking Finlay with an Impaler for two. Copeland signaled for the Spear, Finlay leapfrogged, and The Dogs mowed Copeland down. They set up for the High/Low, but Cage pulled Connors outside and Copeland dropped Finlay. Cage tried his slingshot to the floor, but Connors drove him into the guardrail. Back inside, Copeland took the High/Low for two.

The Dogs signaled for Full Clip, but Copeland suplexed Finlay into Connors, sending Connors crashing outside. Copeland went for a Spear, ate a knee lift, but then hit a pop‑up Spear on Finlay. Connors barely broke the count by throwing Cage into referee Stephon Smith. Copeland and Connors stared each other down, then collided with dueling Spears.

Finlay grabbed the shillelagh and blasted Cage. He lined up Copeland — but the lights went out. When they came back on, The Bang Bang Gang stood on the ramp. The lights went out again, and Switchblade Jay White appeared in the ring to a massive ovation. White laid out Finlay with a Blade Runner. Copeland smirked and hit a Spear to retain the titles.

Winners: Cope & Cage

Post‑match, White picked up the Tag Titles, stood over Finlay, then handed the belts to Copeland and Cage. Copeland stepped between Cage and White before King Switch ran up the ramp to rejoin the Bang Bang Gang.

Mercedes Mone vs. Maya World — Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Final

Renee Paquette was at ringside, noting Maya World’s emotional journey after the tragic loss of her brother. World told her that expectations don’t win matches — she does. The crowd erupted with dueling chants as World scored a quick near fall. She cartwheeled out of multiple takedown attempts and hit the CEO pose to mock Mone, which immediately got under Mone’s skin. A misdirect sent Mone outside, and World followed with a cannonball senton.

Back inside, World hit a Matrix dodge into a springboard arm drag and teased the Statement Maker, forcing Mone to scramble. Referee Aubrey Edwards checked on World for reasons not shown on camera, giving Mone the opening to boot her to the floor. World bridged out of a pin, but Mone kept her cornered. World avoided a monkey flip and got another near fall before climbing up top. Mone cut her off, smashed her face into the buckle, and hit the first Meteora — on the apron. She followed with another to the floor and a third in the ring for a near fall.

Aubrey again tended to World on the outside, while Mone counted her own ten‑count and flipped off the fans. Back inside, Mone hit a backstabber and locked in a straightjacket choke. She tried float‑over double knees, but World countered into a sunset flip for two. They traded Tombstone counters until Mone rolled through into a double stomp. Mone tried to slam World by the hair, but World countered with a double stomp of her own. World then hit a perfect springboard spinning Cutter for the closest near fall yet. A Shining Wizard rocked Mone, but World couldn’t pull her from the ropes fast enough, allowing Mone to recover into Three Amigos — only for World to get her knees up on the Frog Splash.

World hit the ropes, but Mone violently slammed her down by the arm and locked in the Statement Maker. World kicked free into a near fall. They stood and traded, World landing a wild right hand. She hit rolling fallaway slams, the third dumping Mone to the floor. The crowd exploded. World hit a Tope Suicida, then a Senton Bomb inside for two. Mone tried to get her knees up in the corner, but World hit a Cheeky Nandos. World tried a sunset bomb, Mone held on, fought for a buckle bomb, gave it up, slammed World into the corner, hit a sunset flip bomb, then a Meteora for two.

Mone wanted a lungblower, but World snapped into a hurricanrana. They traded backslides until World ate a Mone Maker — and kicked out. The crowd lost it. Mone wanted another, World spun out into a bridge for two. Mone hit a knee lift, but World dumped her on the apron from a failed backstabber. World hit a sunset bomb to the floor and a springboard moonsault. Back inside, she hit a middle‑rope moonsault, but Mone barely got the shoulder up.

Mone dodged a charge and rolled World up, but World transitioned into a Statement Maker. Mone teased tapping, but as World kicked back from the ropes, Mone reversed into her own submission. World was inches from the ropes when Mone turned it into a pin for two. Mone hit a Cutthroat Backstabber and locked in a vicious Statement Maker, wrenching back until World finally submitted.

Winner: Mercedes Mone

Post‑match, Mone posed with the Owen trophy and title as pyro blasted. Nigel McGuinness gave a standing ovation for Maya World’s performance.

We Hear From Athena

Renee Paquette then interviewed Athena. Athena said the better woman won tonight — because of the paradox. She called herself the greatest women’s champion of all time, but said her pupils live with constant regret. Athena claimed that if she hadn’t had a lapse in judgment, no one would know who Maya World is. She told World to keep dreaming big, but when it comes to Athena, she belongs at the back of the line.

Steel Cage Match: Team MJF vs. Team Briscoe

Team MJF came out first to the champion’s music. Team Briscoe followed — Darby Allin, Konosuke Takeshita, Andrade El Idolo, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Mark Briscoe leading the Conglomeration. The circular cage lowered, the bell rang, and all twelve men started throwing hands immediately.

Takeshita slammed Kyle Fletcher into the cage. Briscoe went straight for MJF, but MJF bailed. Briscoe turned to Kevin Knight, only for MJF to jump him from behind. Jake Doyle powerbombed Darby on the apron and then into the cage. Okada sent Roderick Strong into the steel. Knight and Doyle dragged out a table, while Andrade and Fletcher set up another outside. Andrade bounced Briscoe’s head off one of them. Knight and Doyle brought out a “Team DCMJF” table. More tables followed as the heels took full control — but MJF and Andrade started arguing over who got to play to the crowd.

Strong re‑entered swinging an equipment bag like a weapon. Okada took him out. Briscoe took out Okada. Kyle O’Reilly then produced an original Nintendo, complete with controllers, and started smashing people with it. Fletcher tried to stop him but got dropped. O’Reilly inserted a cartridge — blowing on it first — and nailed Fletcher with the Nintendo. Briscoe emptied a backpack full of thumbtacks. Fletcher, now busted open, was saved by Doyle, who swung Strong into the cage before getting wiped out by a flying Briscoe. O’Reilly wrapped the controller cord around Fletcher’s neck, but Fletcher lawn‑darted him into the buckle. Fletcher ripped off Briscoe’s shirt and slammed him into the tacks.

Darby returned and smashed Fletcher with a skateboard. He tried to send MJF into the tacks, but MJF reversed and sent Darby face‑first into them. MJF covered — only two. MJF grabbed a push broom and swept tacks out of the ring. Orange Cassidy entered, racked MJF with the broom, then opened his backpack to reveal orange slices from Willow Nightingale. The Conglomeration paused to eat orange slices together. Fletcher slapped them away, so the Conglomeration held him down and squeezed orange juice into his wounds.

Okada and Takeshita traded bombs. Takeshita pulled out a middle finger from his backpack and presented it to Okada. Fletcher battled Takeshita, hit a suplex and kick, then accidentally superkicked Okada. Takeshita hit a German suplex on both Fletcher and Okada. Knight and Darby traded forearms. Knight raked the eyes and drove Darby down. Doyle held a chair to Darby’s face while Knight hit a coast‑to‑coast dropkick. Knight covered, but Briscoe broke it up. MJF hurled a chair into Briscoe’s face, busting him open, then dug his fingers into the wound. MJF put on the Dynamite Diamond Ring and directed Okada to open the equipment bag — revealing Lio Rush. Rush bit Okada’s fingers and attacked Team MJF. Rush demanded the ring. Okada hit a Rainmaker. Doyle and Knight stuffed Rush back into the bag and shoved it under the ring.

Briscoe fought off Team MJF, grabbed a ladder, put it over his head, and spun around wiping out everyone. He called MJF into the ring. MJF removed his shirt and they brawled. Briscoe went for the Jay Driller, but Doyle broke it up. O’Reilly kneed Doyle, and Strong slammed Doyle off the apron through a table. Andrade smashed O’Reilly with a chair and hit running knees. Takeshita took out Andrade, but Okada dropped Takeshita with a perfect dropkick. Okada tried a piledriver on the apron, Takeshita countered with a back body drop and knee. Fletcher superkicked Takeshita and tried a brainbuster, but Takeshita hit a Blue Thunder Bomb off the apron through tables.

Briscoe tried the Jay Driller again. MJF low‑blowed him. Cassidy put his hands in his pockets and ate a punch with the diamond ring. Darby hit MJF with a Scorpion Death Drop and Coffin Drop. Darby covered, but Knight flew off the top — Darby moved, and Knight splashed MJF instead. Knight climbed to the top of the cage. Darby followed. Knight grabbed Darby’s backpack — it exploded, sending Knight off the cage through tables. Darby then hit a Coffin Drop off the cage onto the pile.

Briscoe hit the Jay Driller on MJF, but Doyle broke the pin. Doyle ripped at Briscoe’s face and hit him with a chair repeatedly. Doyle held Briscoe for MJF. MJF demanded Andrade hold Briscoe instead. Andrade refused, then reluctantly agreed. MJF charged — Andrade blasted MJF with a spinning back elbow and signaled he wanted the title. Doyle shoved Andrade, Andrade kicked him low. Andrade removed his shirt to reveal: “Fuck Don, Fuck MJF.”

Briscoe hit the Jay Driller on Doyle and pinned him.

Winner: Team Briscoe — Mark Briscoe earns an AEW World Championship match.

Mark Briscoe Backstage with Lexy Nair

Lexy Nair caught up with a bloodied, fired‑up Mark Briscoe backstage. Briscoe said he’s not waiting, he’s not hesitating, and he’s not letting the moment slip. After everything that went down inside the cage, he wants his AEW World Championship match immediately. Briscoe made it clear — this Wednesday on RAW, he’s coming for MJF and he wants that title shot right away.

Swerve Strickland vs. Will Ospreay — Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals

Will Ospreay entered first, fully decked out in Bane cosplay. Swerve Strickland followed on a motorcycle, cigar in mouth, dressed as Lobo. The bell rang and they immediately tore into each other with strikes. Counters flew until Swerve bailed outside to reset. Ospreay chased him, rolled him back in, but Swerve lit him up with kicks. Ospreay hit a rana, chopped Swerve in the corner, swept his legs on the ropes, and hit a dropkick that sent Swerve outside again. Ospreay played to the crowd and hit a huge crossbody over the top.

Back inside, Ospreay kicked Swerve in the face. Swerve chopped back, but Ospreay chopped harder and dropped him. Ospreay lawn‑darted Swerve into the corner, but Swerve answered with a rolling flatliner for one. Swerve yanked Ospreay’s neck over the top rope, stood on the back of his head, dragged him up, and hit a neckbreaker. He went for another, Ospreay fought out, but Swerve hoisted him and dropped him neck‑first again — fully targeting the surgically repaired area.

Swerve wrenched the neck, threw Ospreay down, but Ospreay kipped up instantly and kicked him in the face. Ospreay hit a corkscrew kick, springboard elbow, and got two. He hit an elbow off the top to the back of Swerve’s head and lined up Hidden Blade, but Swerve caught him with a kick and a backbreaker. Swerve talked trash, Ospreay rose and blasted him with elbows. Swerve caught Ospreay mid‑flip and slammed him for two, then kicked him off the apron.

Swerve removed the bottom turnbuckle pad. Ospreay sent him shoulder‑first into the post, slammed his arm into the barricade, stomped it, and locked in a cross armbreaker outside — Swerve tapped, but it didn’t count. Prince Nana threw coffee in Ospreay’s eyes. Swerve powerbombed Ospreay on the apron, then placed Ospreay’s face under the exposed buckle and smashed him into it. Ospreay was busted open.

Swerve kicked and punched Ospreay while talking trash. Ospreay fought back, hit a standing Spanish Fly, then countered a suplex into a cutter and hit a Styles Clash for two. Ospreay hit Hidden Blade — Swerve no‑sold it and struck him down. Swerve climbed, Ospreay hit the ropes to unbalance him, then hit punches, climbed up, and countered Swerve’s top‑rope powerbomb into a massive rana. Cyclone Kick landed for two.

Ospreay went for Oscutter, Swerve countered into Deadeye for a near fall. Swerve tried the Swerve Stomp on the apron, Ospreay moved. Ospreay dove over the top for a sunset flip powerbomb, Swerve held on, but Ospreay dragged him down and smashed his face into the steps — busting Swerve open. Ospreay slammed Swerve’s face into the steps repeatedly, then tore apart the announce table. He dragged Swerve onto the steps, Nana interfered, Swerve hit House Call. Swerve dragged Ospreay onto the steps for a Vertebreaker, Ospreay fought out and hit a Styles Clash from the steps onto the announce table — which didn’t break.

Swerve barely beat the ten‑count. Ospreay hit a flying kick and Oscutter for two. Ospreay hit three thrust kicks, two rolling elbows, and drove an elbow into the back of Swerve’s neck. He waited for the ref’s count, Swerve rose to his knees, Ospreay hit Hidden Blade — Swerve kicked out.
