DEVELOPMENTS

• WAYNE BRADY is in the front row tonight. SHANE TAYLOR, after making QT spill out of the ring with a low bridge on the ropes, is arguing with him during the opener and takes his hat off and spikes it. Wayne had told Lexy Nair earlier in the show that his finish would be the "Bitch Slap," and he indeed uses it on Shane. Shane grabs him by the collar and pulls him over the railing, so THE RIZZLER comes to emote at Shane and Shane just pushes him over. TRISH ADORA is now twerking. BIG JUSTICE in response to this injustice spears Shane and AJ hits a crossbody to the floor on all three of them. They team up for the Boomsday Device on Carlie to pick up the win.
• Earlier in this match, Carlie had to get between Christyan XO and The Rizzler at ringside because he was doing his emote at her and she was starting to get flustered. He truly has the "rizz" as they say
• Willow narrowly retains the TBS title with a backslide. MEGAN BAYNE charges the ring and she and Lena stomp her out before HARLEY CAMERON makes the save with a steel pipe in hand. The damage to Willow, who was already showing signs of an injured shoulder, may have already been done.
• Jack Perry arrives to the Blackjack Battle Royals in the actual Jurassic Express. It's a modified school bus. LUCHASAURUS is driving. I'm not sure that's legal given his arm is in a cast but laws also might not apply to dinosaurs.
• GOA come out with Ricochet but the referees tell them to go to the back because they're not in the match. LIO RUSH is in this match but he's running around on all fours bald style with scary contacts
• Komander and Daniel Garcia fighting with Komander on the apron; Danny rips Komander's mask clean off, and while he covers his face, he's not able to stay on the apron. Danny puts the mask on but gets merked by Ciampa.
• Perry and Ricochet are the final two in the Battle Royale. Ricochet heads to the apron off a banderas and tries to suplex Perry from the apron to the floor. Eventually he tries to back body drop him over; Jack holds on and tries to powerbomb Ricochet while dangling over the floor before muscling back up onto the apron. Ricochet tries to double stomp him but he slides back under the ropes into the ring and superkicks Ricochet onto his back. Perry goes up top but Ricochet grabs his head and puts him into a fireman's carry; Perry counters into a Poisonrana on the apron for the win. Ricochet throws a tantrum on the floor while Perry celebrates with his family at ringside. 
• The Bucks get a really long video package before their entrance featuring their kids talking about them.
• We're like not even 5 minutes into this men's tag title match and both Nick and Dax have gigged lol
• Dax is taunting the Bucks' family in the front row while holding Matt; he jaws with Malachi for a second before Malachi throws his beer into Dax's face. Cash goes for a tope on Matt who ducks and takes out Dax with inadvertent friendly fire. Dax kicks out of a crossbody off the top from Matt. 
• The Bucks have FTR in stereo Sharpshooters. Dax nearly taps out and Cash has to grab his hand and literally bite it to prevent it.
• Cash charges Matt with one of the title belts in the ring to try to get DQed but Matt dodges and Cash spills to the floor. 
• The Bucks want the Meltzer Driver on Cash, but now Stokely is up out of his wheelchair to grab the ankle of Nick. He sits back down before Rick Knox turns around, but when Nick does go for the springboard, Cash throws Matt out of the way and Nick eats a Shatter Machine but kicks out at 2.9. He promptly eats a spike piledriver; Rick Knox makes the 3 count, but Nick gets his foot on the rope at 2 and Knox refuses to call for the bell.
• FTR are now doing some of the shittiest thrust kicks I've ever seen and they hit the "FTR Trigger" on Nick, but Nick kicks out at 1 and fires up. He fights off FTR for a bit before they go for a rebound Shatter Machine but Matt tackles Cash to break it up and Nick victory rolls through for a 2 on Dax. The Bucks hit a Shatter Machine of their own on Dax. The BTE Trigger connects on Dax who has to kick out clean because Cash stumbles getting back in the ring.
• Cash crashes and burns on a tackle through the ropes so with only Dax in the ring, Nick decides he's just going to kill Stokely with a tope. They hit the Meltzer Driver on Dax but of course he just kicks out because it's Dax Harwood and nothing matters. Nigel is now putting over AEW on comms and this is where the match lost me.
• Matt gets Dax up for More Bang For Your Buck but FTR fight out. Matt eats a spike piledriver and Nick takes an avalanche Shatter Machine to retain. Stokely has abandoned all pretense of the wheelchair.
• ADAM COPELAND and CHRISTIAN CAGE are back and they kill FTR. Stokely eats a Killswitch before getting shitcanned to the floor. The expected outcome has come to pass. The segment ends with FTR on the floor and C&C laying out the belts while the Bucks kinda just look at them in the ring.
• Marina's entrance starts with her doing ring around the rosie with Danny and Yuta. They gotta explain why they do this it is NOT intimidating
• Toni is celebrating on the ramp when noted stupid asshole RONDA ROUSEY gets in the ring and taunts her. She's friends with Marina so I guess she gets to work here. Nobody wanted this, and frankly, I will not be writing about her in the recap. As far as this blog is concerned, she does not exist from here on.
• Jon Moxley becomes the first man to ever escape Takeshita's Raging Fire, but Takeshita trades off by kicking out of a gnarly Death Rider. He also escapes a Death Rider off the top but it really looked more like a butterfly superplex. Takeshita goes to sleep on a rear naked choke. Moxley offers Takeshita a handshake after the match; Takeshita initially snubs him, but before he leaves the ring, changes his mind and accepts it.
• We get a very dramatic video package featuring WILL OSPREAY, who returns and charges Jon Moxley with a Hidden Blade. The rest of the Death Riders come after him but he lays them out. Moxley escapes before Ospreay can do any more damage to him.
• Renee Paquette backstage in the trainer's room with the BABES OF WRATH. Willow is banged up but cleared to compete nonetheless. They've got a job to do.
• Prince Nana retrieves a cinder block from under the ring. They set Brody King's head up on it with the intent to Swerve Stomp him, but KENNY OMEGA makes the save.
• Thekla wins the first fall in the women's world title match by grabbing the bottom rope for leverage on a bridging cover. Paul Turner's view of it is obscured by their bodies. Stat does tie it up much later off Staturday Night Fever.
• Paul Turner gets bumped quickly into the final fall and Thekla responds by taking his fucking belt off and trying to attack Statlander with it. Stat intercepts it and whips her before another piledriver gets her a visual eight count but there's no ref. The SISTERS OF SIN arrive and Stat kills both of them pretty easily. Stat goes back to the belt but Paul Turner is back and admonishes her; Thekla hits a spear and two curbstomps to take it home. The Sisters of Sin have to repeatedly hold her back from continuing to attack Statlander and risk getting the decision reversed.
• JetSpeed come out for this trios title match in Místico-themed gear complete with masks. Mark Davis ends up ripping the masks off of each of them during the heat. 
• Speedball's going for the Flamingo Driver on Kyle, but Mark gets in the ring with a chair to distract the referee Bryce Remsburg. Kevin pulls Mark out from the floor, but it allows Kyle to go to Speedball's eyes and slip out. Okada hands Kyle one of the trios belts and Kyle swings at Speedball who ducks and lands a tope on Okada. Back in the ring, Kevin spikes Kyle with a pendulum DDT and holds him in place for Speedball to connect with the Ultima Weapon. Mark trucks Kevin into the cover to break it up.
• Both Jet and Speedball are left to Close Their Eyes by Davis, but Místico is able to break the pin on Speedball before getting shitcanned to the floor by Okada. Davis goes for a rebound lariat on Speedball but gets caught with a nasty roundhouse; now Fletcher needs to break up the pin. Bailey is able to fight out of a brainbuster from Fletcher and Kevin makes the tag as Bailey triangle moonsaults onto Kyle on the floor. Okada has to break up a Knight pin on Davis following a GTFO lariat.
• Kyle wants something off the top on Knight, but Místico pulls him off, ducks a line, and locks in La Mística. Jet's still up top when Speedball nails Davis with Time Adventure and Knight is able to vault Fletcher and Místico to crush Dunkzilla with the UFO Splash in the center of the ring for the 3-count.
• MÍSTICO IS ALL ELITE!!!!!!!! The graphic appears on screen during the celebration following their victory. An emotional moment for everyone in the ring.
• Don Callis comes out with Andrade. This is the only match where he is on commentary. 
• Bandido is here in a Super Dragon-themed mask tonight. It's one of several Super Dragon tributes; for this one Excalibur talks about Super Dragon like he's dead. He is very much not dead.
• Andrade won't take his pants off, so instead Bandido rips off his tearaway pants. He can't get them off from around his ankles, though, so Andrade charges him to the mat and then teases taking his off but refuses. After he does eventually take them off, he goes and takes a selfie with another woman at ringside.
• Andrade goes for a double stomp off the top on Bandido who's hung in the tree of woe, but Bandido drops down and avoids it. He ducks a line and applies a rear waistlock, and Andrade's efforts to escape lead to him getting backed towards the corner before Bandido German suplexes him as hard as he fucking can into the bottom turnbuckle pad.
• Andrade goes for Three Amigos but Bandido nips behind before the last one and goes for three Germans. Andrade goes for it again after countering the third one and Bandido nips behind again and is able to get all three of his Germans off.
• Andrade hits an Orihara moonsault over the ring post onto Bandido and promptly goes and takes a selfie with a second woman. He apparently puts his number in her phone but I don't believe for a second that he was able to haphazardly type in his number with the glove on.
• Bandido hits the X-Knee and goes for the 21 Plex but instead gets fucking killed with the pump fake back elbow from Andrade. Andrade tries to stay on him but Bandido is able to get him up into a fireman's carry, pops him up, and just rolling wheel kicks Andrade in the back of the head. Even Danielson can't figure out how the hell he did it. Andrade is collapsed by the bottom rope and Bandido just says fuck it and hits him with a deadlift 21 Plex that Andrade, of course, kicks out of. Bandido now hits another X-Knee and goes for a proper 21 Plex but Andrade backflips out onto his feet and turns Bandido inside out with another pump fake back elbow before hitting the DM from the second rope to win it.
• David Finlay has brought his shillelagh out for this tornado trios match; conversely, Orange Cassidy has brought out the $15 gift card that was promised as a reward for finding Roddy. He gives it to Roddy. Roddy tosses it behind him.
• Darby makes his way to the apron by a banderas and tries to charge Gabe Kidd who's also there but Clark Connors spears him to the floor through the ropes full force.
• After Roddy and Orange break up a pin on Darby after a Doomsday Device, Gabe and David tie the tag rope around the throat of Darby and single him out. Orange and Roddy are eventually able to get the upper hand in the 2-on-3 exchange with Roddy picking up Orange and literally throwing him full force at both Gabe and Clark. I imagine the concession made for Roddy to come back was that they have to do things his way.
• A "PLEASE HELP DARBY" chant has broken out and Orange retrieves from a toolbox under the ring a pair of scissors and a zip tie, the former of which he uses to free Darby who immediately lands a Coffin Drop on all three of the Dogs on the floor.
• Gabe sets Darby up on the top rope and just shoves him and Darby takes the apron on his fucking neck and tumbles to the floor. Gabe retrieves Darby's skateboard and goes to swing it but Darby fights back and now they're scuffling. Gabe tries to suplex Darby off the ramp to the floor but Darby counters with a headbutt and drops onto Gabe with his skateboard.
• Back in the ring, Clark and David spear and chop block Roddy Total Elimination style but Orange is able to break the pin. He hits a crucifix-style Dominator from David and Roddy takes No Chaser from Connors; David hits Overkill on Strong but it's a little weak and Darby breaks up Finlay's pin with a Coffin Drop. They cut back to the ramp where Gabe's arm has been zip tied to the stage, giving the Dogs a 2-on-3 disadvantage. A knee from Roddy, an Orange Punch, and End of Heartache leads to Roddy shoving Orange onto Connors to get the pinfall victory.
• Veteran touch from MJF during the main event introductions: Max notices that Hangman's getting a smattering of boos, so he tells Justin Roberts to introduce him as being "not from a piece of shit town like Los Angeles" to get the heat back on him.
• Not terribly long into this main event, Hangman retrieves a full glass window from the timekeeper's area and sets it up in the corner. MJF goes to the eyes to stop him and just takes the window and breaks it in the middle of the ring and tells the camera "YOU AIN'T GONNA CATCH ME DOIN' THAT INDIE BULLSHIT" as if there isn't a Bunch of Fucking Glass in the center of the ring now. Hangman almost immediately slams him onto the glass and then gets dragged through it by the legs. A few minutes later, MJF stabs Page in the head with a shard before slamming him and dragging him through it the same way. Max promptly grabs a push broom from under the ring and sweeps the glass onto the floor.
• 15-minute mark here. MJF has retrieved, of course, a syringe and stabs it straight through the cheek of Hangman and just leaves it there. He goes to hit Hangman over the head with a chair the same way Page did to Swerve Strickland but Hangman is able to counter with the syringe still stuck in his cheek.
• More wrestlers should do Alabama Slams. They're really good visuals.
• We get some will-they-won't-they on the apron with a table set up beside it that leads to Hangman hitting a Deadeye onto a chair wrapped in barbed wire. Page is on his feet at 8, MJF at 9. MJF eats a fallaway slam into the same chair in the corner a minute later.
• Hangman decides he needs to do an Orihara moonsault while holding the chair for some reason. MJF just avoids it and chucks the chair at Page's face. Dipshit
• MJF wants the Heatseeker from the apron onto the barbed wire chair. Page counters with a Deadeye through the table. The table only breaks after they fucking bounce off it. Nasty stuff
• We're at the 25-minute mark of this match and Hangman's got MJF up for another Deadeye through a table on the other side of the ring, but MJF slips out and bites Hangman's head before getting him with a tombstone through the table. This one went way better than when they tried it in their last match. Hangman barely scrambles to his feet at 9 before collapsing again; for some reason that fully breaks the count.
• Both men have retrieved light tubes from opposite ends of the ring. It looks like we're going to get a duel of the fates, but MJF powders up the apron. Hangman gives chase; they each miss a couple swings and MJF looks ready to break his tube over Page's back but he gets gut kicked and Hanger breaks one over Max's back and another straight over his head.
• 32 minutes in, we've got some more will-they-won't-they at the end of the stage towards production equipment, but nobody ends up going off and they fight back to the ring. Hangman now retrieves an entire fist full of wooden skewers. He wins a test of strength and embeds them in Max's skull before they fly off on a Buckshot Lariat. Bryce Remsburg is really breaking out the theatrics for this count. MJF is able to scramble to his feet at 9 before eating another boot.
• Hangman has now retrieved a double dog collar from a black bag under the ring. He links himself and his opponent together; Max finally comes to and realizes the situation he's been put in as he tries to escape the ring but it's far too late. Tony Schiavone very excitedly rips off "PTSD... Revolution style!"
• At the 37-minute mark, Hangman clears out the broken table on the ramp side of the ring to set up a new one. The crowd is chanting "WE WANT FIRE" but nobody answers Hangman's search for a lighter so I guess we're not doing that. Instead he retrieves a barbed wire board. They battle on the apron and Hangman goes up to the second turnbuckle for some reason so MJF grabs the collar and whips him onto the board. Table smashes, barbed wire in back, you know how it is. Hangman up at 9 and a half.
• We're fighting back up the ramp to the edge of the stage again. Neither man can get the other off the edge so Hangman says fuck it, bear hugs him, and just throws them both off through a table littered with electrical equipment. Lots of explosions and pyrotechnics. A double knockout would result in MJF retaining the championship, but both men are up at 9. Hangman is now literally walking MJF on all fours like a dog. Tony Schiavone says "he's a good boy!" like Jerma talking about Otto, God rest his soul. 
• Back at the ring here at the 43-minute mark, Hangman's going for a second Buckshot but similar to how he did a month ago, MJF bounces him on that thang with a low blow. Max retrieves the belt and the shot connects but Hangman is back on his feet at 9 and a half again. Max gets a low blow and belt shot for his troubles. He wants another Buckshot, but Max punches Hangman with the Dynamite Diamond Ring and is able to choke him over the top rope with the dog collar. Hangman's out cold by the time Max lets go, and after his blood is smeared on the camera lens by bouncing off it, Remsburg makes the 10 count. MJF retains. Hangman is loaded onto a stretcher as Max gets on top of him to pose with the belt.
