Juvi vs Jericho

This starts out a bit clunky with some corner top rope bits

This entire match can be on Botchamania

Jericho gets his top rope move off with a double ax handle

Wait or no, he has to use a top rope move to finish it, says Aubrey after he tries a back breaker

Juvi tries a top rope rana Jericho counters with walls Juvi gets the rope

Juvi gets 2 with Juvi Driver

Jericho hits JUDAS EFFECT but Aubrey tells Jericho he needs to go up top, he does, OH WOW TOP ROPE JUDAS EFFECT

Haha Super Elite (Karl) are backstage spinning the basketball, Karl gets to 2012 spins, Gallows offers up a tag title shot to the Dark Order next week, Matt says there’s no one left to challenge them. Kenny says Hangman choked at the buzzer and he has nothing left, and the people don’t have their main event anymore. They cut the net off the basket.

Christian Cage vs. Blade

Bunny tries to hold Christian’s leg, Leyla Hirsch comes to run her to the back, Blade can’t even take advantage of this, he finally takes control, drapes him over the top rope

Christian comes off the top to the floor with a lariat to Blade

Blade messes with the turnbuckle pad so the ref gets distracted and he starts trying to unlock his leather sack, he gets his brass knucks,

Britt Baker Interview

She says it was right here in Jacksonville where I became your woman’s champion, Red Velvet comes out, she says first off, red is not your color, I’m here cuz I want a piece of DMD.

Britt says you know what else happened here, I beat your ass in three minutes, so you got it.

Red Velvet says you feel so good cuz you beat me when I was enhancement talent, now I’m 22-4 with 7 straight W’s and I didn’t have to cheat to win them.

Britt says I’m also a different wrestler now, cuz I’m the woman’s champ, but you got your match at AEW Rampage debut in Pittsburgh next Friday. Britt offers up her hand, Red kicks it away, Rebel swings with the crutch, she ducks, but Britt and her get the upper hand

Chavo and Andrade want Fuego to shine Andrade’s shoes, then attack him, then say Penta and Fenix need to stop working for PAC, cuz they’ll never be champions everrrr

Hangman interview, immediately interrupted by Super Elite

He says Matt, Nick, I’m glad you’re here, there’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you for awhile. There’s something I needed to clear up.

Kenny says I see what you’re trying to do, trying to make a plea to rejoin the Elite?

Hangman laughs that off.

Kenny says considering all your recent failures. You’re a tryhard like all these people out here. We’ve stayed up all night long thinking about forgiving your sins, looking past your demons, but when I think of what we are today, you don’t fit the bill. Cowboy or not, the elite does not have any losers in our group, we don’t have failures we don’t have people who play second fiddle. Elite attack. Magic Killer to Page. Dark Order come down to help, Stu and Uno hold them back, cuz Page wanted to be on his own.

BTE Trigger on Page, a second, a third.

Kazarian comes in, he gets dispatched.

Kenny hits Hangman with the title to the head. BTE theme song kicks in.

Haha more Dan Lambert! He says he’s coming back next week with backup!

Lee Johnson vs. Miro

Lee puts up a good fight but Miro gets him in the game over, forgives lee afterwards

Christian Cage interview, he’s the number one contender now, he says it feels pretty damn good, Tony asks if he’s gonna go out there and help Leyla Hirsch, and he sings the golden girls theme, she actually said she has friends, she has best friends. He said he came back to get what was taken from him 7 years ago, to cement his legacy to win titles, he’ll be in pittsburgh, he’s been known to stir some shit, he’s better than good, he’s ELITE.

Cody interview: Says legacy is a funny thing, I got into wrestling at 15, all I wanted to do was win the title they took from my dad in the garden, goals change, time flies, I’ve had so much fun

Cody stands up, and we see he was given the shortest crutch imaginable

He starts acting like he’s about to quit, he says there may have been some infighting amongst EVPs, we are competition, we set the table for others to eat, he says this with no bitterness, he takes off one boot, HAHAHA Black does what we all want, he kills him with tiny crutch
