(Pre-Show Continuation) “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” Hangman Page, Bandido, and Brody King vs. “The Dogs” David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Gabe Kidd vs. “The Demand” Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona vs. “The Death Riders” Claudio Castagnoli, Pac, and Wheeler Yuta vs. “The Conglomeration” Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly vs. “The Bang Bang Gang” Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn vs. a wildcard team in a seven-team Trios Roulette Royale for the AEW Trios Titles. The Bang Bang Gang and The Dogs started the match. A few minutes into the match, they showed a roulette graphic on the big screen that stopped on The Demand, who came out as the third entrants. Connors speared Colten off the apron to eliminate him.
The Conglomeration were the fourth entrants. Liona eliminated Austin Gunn a short time later. The Death Riders came out with Marina Shafir and entered through the crowd as the fifth entrants. Strong and Shafir squared off. Strong avoided a kick and then gave his wife a backbreaker. A short time later, Strong and O’Reilly were eliminated by a group of wrestlers.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly were the sixth entrants. A group of wrestlers eliminated King. After several minutes passed, all of the remaining wrestlers were down in the ring. The broadcast team wondered who the final entrants would be. Excalibur closed the pre-show by telling fans to join them for the biggest pay-per-view of the year. The screen went black before the final entrants arrived.

The screen went black before the final entrants arrived.
The pay-per-view started with Swerve Strickland making his entrance with Prince Nana. He stopped on the entrance ramp and smiled. “New Level” Kofi and Austin Creed made their entrance to a big ovation from the crowd. Kofi and Creed eliminated Kaun and Liona. Cassidy eliminated Yuta, but then Ricochet eliminated Cassidy.
Bandido had been down on the floor. He had his shoulder heavily taped and then dove onto a group of wrestlers. The tape fell off. Bandido ran the ropes for his 21 Plex finisher on Castagnoli, but Swerve cut him off with a kick. Swerve was going to charge toward Bandido, but Page cut in front of him. Swerve and Page jawed at one another. Ricochet tried to take a cheap shot, but they avoided it. Page performed a flip off Swerve’s back into the Buckshot Lariat on Ricochet.
Swerve and Page bickered again until Kidd and Connors speared them simultaneously. The Dogs eliminated Bandido. White eliminated Connors. White eliminated Finlay after a fight on the apron. Ricochet kicked Page off the apron to eliminate him. Excalibur said that guaranteed there would be new champions.
Kidd knocked White off the apron to eliminate him. Swerve eliminated Ricochet. The match came down to Swerve, Kofi, and Creed against The Death Riders’ Castagnoli and Pac, and Kidd, who represented The Dogs. The heels thought they eliminated Kofi, but he hooked his feet on the bottom rope to save himself. Pac kicked Kofi, who fell to the mat. The broadcast team pointed out that Kofi’s feet never touched the mat. Nana helped wheelbarrow Kofi to the ring steps and then did his dance. Kofi returned to the ring.
Swerve knocked Kidd off the apron with a House Call. Pac and Castagnoli clotheslined Swerve over the top rope, but he stayed on the apron. Kofi and Creed hit kicks on Pac and Castagnoli before clotheslining them over the top rope to eliminate them.
Swerve Strickland and “New Level” Kofi and Austin Creed won the seven-team Trios Roulette Royale in 39:00 to win the AEW Trios Titles.
Nana entered the ring and danced with Kofi and Creed while the new champions celebrated their win…
Powell’s POV: I like the idea of saving the Kofi and Creed debut for the main card rather than show it on the pre-show. I don’t think the mystery will hook people since it’s so easy to look it up online (right here at ProWrestling.net!), but perhaps some fans will do an impulse buy because they want to see Kofi and Creed’s first AEW appearance. The new match concept didn’t wow me, but it wasn’t a turnoff either. It was chaotic to follow, especially switching from the pre-show to the main card report, so my apologies if I missed some eliminations.
The broadcast team remained Excalibur, Taz, Bryan Danielson, and Tony Schiavone, and Arkady Aura was the ring announcer…
A video package set up the AEW Women’s Tag Team Title match. Renee Paquette spoke briefly from the pre-show desk between the match entrances…
1. “Divine Dominion” Megan Bayne and Lena Kross vs. “The Brawling Birds” Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor for the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles. Paul Turner was the referee. The challengers performed a double superplex on Bayne roughly nine minutes in. Hayter picked up a near fall. Bayne came back with a double German suplex. Kross tagged in, and then the champions went for a double-team move, but Hayter countered with a double DDT. Bayne and Kross no-sold it.
The champions put Hayter down with a double-team move and then hit her with their finisher. Kross covered Hayter and had her pinned, but Windsor pulled Kross to the floor to break it up. Windsor put Bayne down with a German suplex on the apron. Hayter performed a backbreaker that made Excalibur do the obnoxious chuckling that he does in response to some big moves or violent spots. Hayter and Windsor hit Kross with Two Birds, One Stone, and then Hayter pinned her.
“The Brawling Birds” Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor defeated “Divine Dominion” Megan Bayne and Lena Kross in 11:40 to win the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Pyro shot off as the new champions celebrated. Excalibur said they were the first Brits to hold the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles…
Powell’s POV: It was a little rough to start, but it got better as the match went on. The crowd was pleased by the hometown gals winning in the expected title change. By the way, WrestleTix listed the venue as being set up for 47,961 with 47,054 tickets distributed. The total number of seats on the map is 93,556. The last time AEW ran the venue, 53,922 tickets were distributed for the August 25, 2024, All In event.
A video package set up the AEW Continental Championship match. Nigel McGuinness made his entrance. Renee Paquette checked in from the pre-show desk with some comments. Jon Moxley slapped hands with the other Death Riders, and then had Marina Shafir slap him before he entered through the crowd…
2. Jon Moxley vs. Nigel McGuinness in the Continental Challenge Cup tournament final for the AEW Continental Championship. Stephon Smith was the referee. The broadcast team played up Nigel’s ankle injury and how infrequently he has wrestled this year. Moxley stomped Nigel’s bad left foot. Nigel fought back with a European uppercut that sent Moxley scurrying to the floor for a moment.
No surprise with New Day but thought it was well done, and agree that ut was good holding their debut off until the actual PPV. May daughter and I were wondering why you would have them debut for free on the Buy In, but obviously, they wound up coming out on the PPV. But I do have to ask the question – what is the point of the Buy In being separate from the PPV. If it was a true countdown with a match or two thrown in, that would be one thing. But it’s just two hours of mostly wrestling. I’m not advocating for longer AEW PPVs. We all know we don’t need that. But still, it just makes the card feel bloated whether it’s technically two shows.
Also, the stage and rig above the ring look great and major league. But, not to make it sound like I keep shooting on AEW, they have to do better at shooting the building without letting all those empty seats show. Say what you want about WWE, they’re pros at making the building look full no matter how many empty seats there are or aren’t.
Meant “shitting on” haha
