Lariat to the back of the head by Luchasaurus and this one is over.
Winner and STILL AEW TNT Champion: Luchasaurus
Rating: ***1/4. Darby, as usual, does insane Darby things and that was the story here. Darby tries to overcome the much larger Luchasaurus and darn near did it, but had to decide to save his friend Nick Wayne over himself.

Lana poses, then hits the ring with a chair and hits Hobbs from behind. This allows Miro to finish the job with the chair, but Miro looks angry.

Winner and STILL AEW TBS Champion: Kris Statlander
Rating: ***1/2. This was a heck of a match between these two women. I could go without Statlander kicking out of both of Ruby’s finishers, but it was a heck of a war here. The Outcasts implode!

Danielson drops to a knee and EATS THE SHOTS TO THE FACE. Starks realizes he’s unleashed an animal in Danielson and just eats repeated strap shots and round kicks. This is actually hard to watch. Roundhouse kick to the face! Big Bill is here and it’s a No DQ match, so there’s nothing the referee can do. Steamboat pulls Bill from the apron and hits him with a few chops! Bill goozles Steamboat but Danielson sends Starks on top of Bill and then dives off the top on both men. Danielson readies himself for the Busiku Knee with Starks hits the interceptor spear!

Starks is trying to get to the ropes but Danielson adjusts the strap and wraps it around Starks’ neck. STARKS GOES OUT!
Winner: Bryan Danielson
Rating: ****3/4. Holy s. This match was unbelievable. The brutality was everything. Danielson laid in EVERYTHING he had and brought Starks to a whole new level. I loved the fact that it was not required to touch the four corners as well. Danielson being back in AEW is so important to the company.

Winners: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta
Rating: ***3/4. No surprise this match ruled, the surprise was the finish. I expected Kingston to go after Claudio for the ROH World Championship but now I’m not so sure. That said, everything about this ruled and even though the finish was a bit flat to the crowd, “it do be like that sometimes” in MMA and boxing, flash knockdowns do happen.
Match #8. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kenny Omega
Both men trade wrist locks to start. Omega blocks a Powerdrive knee and hits a chop but Takeshita SPIKES Omega with a high angle backdrop driver. Holy cow.

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita
Rating: ****1/2. Yep, this PPV continues to rule. Takeshita had to win this one and Omega needs not worry about losing anything in defeat. Takeshita is an absolute star on the rise and with Don Callis by his side, he doesn’t have to worry about saying a word. This match felt big, special, and delivered on all fronts.
Match #9. Bullet Club Gold vs. The Young Bucks & FTR
Austin and Cash exchange arm ringers but Matt Jackson tags himself in. Assisted dropkicks by The Bucks and a double hip toss.

Winners: Bullet Club Gold
Rating: ***1/2. This was a cluster and I think that was the intention. The story of Bullet Club Gold being able to work together as The Bucks and FTR took a bit to find their footing down the stretch was a good one. A lot of bodies in this match which made it a little hit or miss at points, but Bullet Club Gold getting the win was absolutely the right call.

Cassidy flips Moxley off and Moxley absolutely plants Cassidy with a very high angle Death Rider for the win!
Winner and NEW AEW International Champion: Jon Moxley
Rating: ****1/4. Orange Cassidy is an absolute stud and that man deserves a vacation (although to be fair, Moxley does too). The story here was Moxley taking advantage of the months of punishment Cassidy has put himself through defending his title, and Cassidy being defiant until the very end.
After the match, the Blackpool Combat Club celebrate to the back as Orange Cassidy gets emotional in the middle of the ring. The entire arena is chanting “Freshly Squeezed” and “Thank you, Orange”. Cassidy salutes the crowd as we go off the air.
Final Thoughts: For a PPV that had about 72 hours build, it came together quite nicely in the end. Moxley/Cassidy was a heck of a way to close out the show, with Cassidy’s entire reign feeling like a big deal and an even bigger deal that it came to an end. Danielson and Starks was one of the best strap matches I’ve ever seen and a MOTY contender, with Danielson bringing Starks to the next level. Omega and Takeshita delivered on the level that everyone had hoped for, and there’s a big new Bonafide main eventer in Takeshita. The inevitable Samoa Joe/MJF feud is super interesting, as well. While not at the level of All In, it sure was close. 9/10.
