DEVELOPMENTS

• In the opener, referee Mike Posey nearly gets trucked by a running Hechicero when Claudio ducks out of his way in the corner. When Hechicero turns back around, Claudio pokes him in the eyes and rolls him up for the 3. The Family are not going to stand for this. LANCE ARCHER and MARK DAVIS charge the ring and attack Claudio. Marina gets in the ring and gets trucked by Lance. The Family clears the ring out while Lance holds back Moxley and Davis hands Takeshita a chair, but Takeshita refuses to swing and then gets in Mark's way when he goes to do it himself. It's clear Takeshita wants an even playing field on Sunday, even as Hechicero and Archer continue to yell at him to attack Moxley further. Takeshita still does the belt taunt to Moxley afterward.
• Renee Paquette backstage with the double champion WILLOW NIGHTINGALE and her challenger for the TBS strap tonight in PERSEPHONE. Willow congratulates Persephone on her defeat of Mercedes Moné for the CMLL World Women's Championship and says she's been hoping to have this match for a while, and Persephone appreciates it, but adds that of the two of them, she thinks she hit Mercedes harder. A little lighthearted jawing between champion and challenger ahead of a title match.
• DON CALLIS is backstage hyping up KYLE FLETCHER ahead of his match. The world champion MJF is now here and tells Kyle to beat the shit out of "No Balls" Mike Bailey because he kicked him in the face. Kyle's not going to be buttered up, and he tells Max that he doesn't take orders from him. MJF tells Don that he should teach his boys how to speak to the world champion. Kyle wants to know that the Family isn't working for MJF and Don says he's not crazy. 
• Speedball's got Fletcher's number this whole match, even though Kyle kicks out of a Poisonrana off the top. Going for the Flamingo Driver, KAZUCHIKA OKADA gets on the apron to distract the referee while holding a screwdriver. As the ref neutralizes the situation, Fletcher rakes the eyes of Bailey to escape before MARK DAVIS hands Fletcher one of his championships and he clocks Speedball before hitting the Brainbuster to retain. A desperate act by Fletcher, but still the TNT Champion.
• Couple quick thoughts on this match. This match could have been almost the same but just 2 out of 3 falls. Speedball hits this evil Poisonrana off the second that Kyle somehow kicks out of and later Bailey survives a vicious Michinoku Driver. I could absolutely have accepted those both being pinfalls and kept the finish the same. You don't even need to really explain much why this match has this stipulation beyond both guys being competitors and wanting to be the best, and especially regarding the Poisonrana, it kind of hurts my suspension of disbelief to see someone kicking out of that clean. You got rocked dude you're too dazed to do anything for at least like 15 seconds
• Also someone really needs to send Speedball's All Elite Moves page to Tony Schiavone because he has no idea what move has what name lol at one point in this match he calls Time Adventure the Ultima Weapon
• Standby match for BRODY KING, who says he hasn't found Swerve. He kills a jobber with a lariat and a Gonzo Bomb. On his way back up the ramp, SWERVE STRICKLAND grabs him from the crowd in the Vision Hoodie. He gets in the ring to choke him with the chain but Brody snaps the chain with his bare hands. Swerve tries to powder, but Brody grabs him, back suplexes him, and hits him with a Cannonball. Choking him with a sleeper over the ropes, PRINCE NANA arrives and tries to kinda just slap his back. Brody's not phased and shoves him back but it gives Swerve enough room to take Brody's bad arm and wrench it to free himself.
• SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY backstage with Renee Paquette. He says for as much as he could go on for hours about how Fletcher needed to cheat to beat them and that the better man didn't win tonight, at Revolution, the Family will get what's coming to them when they take the Trios titles back.
• Orange Cassidy gets attacked with a tire iron by CLARK CONNORS on the floor while referee Bryce Remsburg is preoccupied with Darby and Gabe. David hits the Dominator and Darby eats an Owen Driver from Gabe. They continue to attack him and Orange in the ring and David Finlay calls someone out. RODERICK STRONG now makes his way down to the ring, and they throw Orange into the grasp of Roddy. Looking like he might hit End of Heartache, he instead throws Orange direckedly into David's cock and sick kicks Gabe and the three clear the Dogs out of the ring. Roddy holds his hand out to Orange and pulls him up and the two high five. Roddy's officially back.
• Persephone tries for a Razor's Edge on Willow, but Nightingale counters into a backslide to retain. Willow escapes this time, but the two trade knowing looks. 
• Backstage, the BABES OF WRATH challenge Lena Kross and Megan Bayne: Kross will challenge for the TBS Championship on Zero Hour, and they'll both go for the tag titles on the main show.
• Ciampa continues to attack Mark Briscoe after the bell following the main event. He hits him with a chair in the ring before laying him out with a Psycho Driller off the middle rope onto two set-up chairs to end the segment before kissing his forehead. He's not a pervert, just Italian.
• Press conference between the world champion MJF and his challenger at Revolution in HANGMAN ADAM PAGE, moderated by Bryan Danielson. This is a full-on press conference, we're in, like, a different room, the house is only seeing this over a screen. They have a full, regular press conference with seven full questions from real media members, MJF has two beers and tries to toast Hangman to him never having the world title again. Hanger slaps the beer out of his hand so MJF throws the other one on him, they brawl out of this room and into the main arena, through the crowd, Hangman fights off security in the ring. MJF charges him with the diamond ring but Hangman counters it into a Deadeye on which production decides to get the shittiest camera angle possible that makes it the most obvious that MJF isn't actually landing on his head. Hangman pulls a board with barbed wire on it out from under the ring but MJF powders.
