Steve Notes AEW 6/30/21

Penta/Kingston vs. Young Bucks

The Bucks have ridiculously awesome facial hair now, Schiovone says Matt looks like a porn star.

Wildly fun stuff, Penta and Kingston hit their finishers on Matt after Cutler accidentally unloads two cans of cold spray on his face

****

Backstage, Christian is with JB, tells him he believes in wins/learns, he can LEARN that he can stand toe to toe with Kenny Omega, but tonight he can become the first aew wrestler to hit 50 wins. Luchasaurus comes in, thanks Christian for helping out JB last week, Chrisitan claims he’s ¼ dinosaur.

Ethan Page promo, says by the time he’s done with Darby, every time he coffin drops someone, he’ll remember Page dropping him in the coffin and nailing him down- Sting comes out, with a coffin and Darby comes out and attacks Page. Sting drops Sky with deathdrop, Darby gets rid of Page, who gets on the mic and cancels their match next week, says if you sign a contract saying he won’t touch him next week, maybe they can do it at fyter fest.

**¾

HFO comes running out, but before they get to JB, Christian and JE come out to help, Matt and Christian go at it, Hardy gets dropped and Christian chokes out Matt with his jacket, Evans attacks and lets Matt escape

MJF says I outsmarted you when I created a faction of my own, I outwrestled you at BG, I’ve unthroned you now as king of aew, you should know when to walk away, instead you’ve turned this place into your own version of looney tunes. Busted my limo, doused us in bubbly, attacked during interviews- the joke is on you, you used to be a wrestling genius, but lemme ask you, how low will you stoop? If you accept my stipulations for one last match, you’ll agree to leave me alone for good. But in the meantime, Sammy vs MJF, who’s the future? I better than u

Andrade promo

He had an announcement, but he was interrupted by Matt Something, so at Road Rager, Andrade vs. Matt Something

Kenny Omega interview, now HE has ridiculous facial hair

He says he’s taking time off, but no worries, he has belts in other promotions, so you can catch him-- Dark Order comes out, Uno says did I hear you say you have no challengers? Uno thinks differently. Kenny says you’re gonna send five after me? So why don’t you and your VIDEO GAME PLAYING CHUMPS, turn around. You’re not even close to being ranked enough to challenge me. Uno SURE, we don’t, but YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT DOES. The number ONE RANKED SINGLES COMPETITOR IN AEW. Kenny says if you’re talking about the person I think you’re talking about, I don’t think he’d like you talking for him. I don’t think he’d have the guts to face me. That person doesn’t think he has the right to call himself champion. UNless you have something up your sleeve, this is where I bid you adieu, goodbye and good night bang.

Pillman Jr promo: I didn’t have much faith growing up, what I had were great teammates, Griff is like a brother to me, when you laid your hands on him, you made it personal. This is more than a TNT title match, you’re not god’s fav champ, you’re just a big bully and a big Bulgarian bitch.

Brian Pillman Jr vs Miro

Miro taps out Pillman via Game Over

Hangman comes in yells at Dark Order, says you think I’m scared of Kenny? Colt says you might be scared of failure, and it’s ok to fail just get back up! We’re here for you, Adam. Silver says you’ve waited long enough, this is your time.

Team Taz says we are NOT a complete unit- Ricky and Cage’s relationship has been rough on me, on all of us, Hook says he’s tired of it, Hobbs says someone needs to figure it out. Taz says Brian Cage will DEFEND the FTW Title against Ricky Starks in Austin in two weeks!

Nyla Rose/Vicki vs. Britt Baker/Rebel

Rebel isolates Rebel, til Britt gets the hot tag, Britt gets out of a beast bomb, gets the gloves, eats a chokeslam, draps Baker over the ropes, knee strike from the top, Rebel breaks it up, looks like she gets hurt in the process, Britt shoves Nyla off the top, taps out Vicki with the claw

**

After the match, Nyla power bombs Britt, they get out the table, then Britt is power bombed off the apron through the table

Hager/Santana/Ortiz promo: hager talks a lot here, recaps some stuff, Santana and Ortiz says when we meet in miami, bring all the fight you can, since you want tully in your corner, believe we’re gonna have our dog in ours, K-DOG

Sammy vs. MJF

This is nuts, just great stuff they gave 25 minutes to. Mid-match Sammy launches himself off the top for a flipping senton onto MJF on the other side of the barricade

SECOND ROPE TOMBSTONE

Sammy hits his finish, but it’s NEXT TO THE ROPES

Sammy hits 630, MJF KICKS OUT!

Spears comes down to help, Jericho comes down, Wardlow grabs Jericho, he throws Jericho off the stage, Spears hits Sammy with the chair, MJF covers for 3
