DEVELOPMENTS

• Ahead of the opening match, TOMMASO CIAMPA is here. He'll be on commentary through these first two matches and will later address his attack on Chris Jericho from Wednesday.
• Before the opener, we go backstage where the Trios Champions THE CONGLOMERATION are standing by with KONOSUKE TAKESHITA. Roderick Strong asks Takeshita if he's good, and Takeshita thanks them for having his back on Wednesday. He addresses the Family, and says this is not over. Kyle tells him to let them worry about the Family so he can focus on Garcia and all four of them will remain champions. Orange hands Takeshita a backpack of his own.
• Ahead of the opening match, TOMMASO CIAMPA is here. He'll be on commentary through these first two matches, and tells Tony and Nigel that he's on commentary because he expects Chris Jericho to try and enact revenge tonight. He doesn't want to allow that to happen backstage. Tony Schiavone tells him that Jericho actually isn't here tonight. Ciampa is mad that he came all the way to Huntsville.
• Following TayJay's success at lasting the five-minute time limit against Divine Dominion, Ciampa has his townhall. He talks to Chris Jericho through the camera. He says he's going to address why he hates him; the crowd starts chanting "bald" at him and this makes him very mad. He produces a list of 1,004 reasons that he hates Jericho:
• No. 1: Fozzy sucks. The crowd pops for this. No. 2: He hates Jericho's ring jackets. This is ironic considering the crazy ass jacket he's wearing right now.
• No. 3: Ciampa hates the Jericho Cruise. No. 4: He hates Jericho's armbars. No. 5: He hates Jericho's full head of hair. The crowd again chants "bald" at this and Ciampa pitches a fit.
• Ciampa says he's walked parallel to Jericho his entire career, and just because everyone else thinks Jericho's turned a new leaf, he knows better. "A snake is always a snake. Jericho, I'll see ya when I see ya." He goes to leave the ring and the camera focuses in on the list that's lying in the ring. Ciampa takes this opportunity to get back in and kick it around angrily like a baseball player kicking dirt.
• PERSEPHONE is on commentary for this next match. She talks so calmly but the words that come out of her mouth are very dangerous. She's like the teacher in elementary school that you have who is legitimately terrifying when they get mad.
• Nigel McGuinness is clearly hung up on the idea of beating Lee Moriarty for the ROH Men's Pure Championship. Shane Taylor on commentary basically tells him to shut up and fuck off.
• Christyan XO grabs PAC's ankle from the floor then gets on the apron to start talking shit. This prompts Marina to get on the apron and just slowly walk toward her as she backs off up the ramp. Shawn promptly grabs PAC's ankle on the other side and pulls him to the floor and he and Carlie stomp him out. Mox is pissed to the point where he grabs a chair to back them off; Paul Turner is busy dealing with The Infantry so Shane Taylor comes over and knocks Mox's block off. 
• Mox and PAC start running a train on Shawn towards the end. Christyan XO's response to this is to get on the apron and try to distract Paul Turner. That ends up backfiring as instead Marina Shafir just gets in the ring and joins the train. Somehow Christyan doesn't even notice this and continues to argue with Turner. 
• Renee Paquette is backstage with the TRIANGLE OF MADNESS. Thekla won't let Renee get a word in, and says the only person in the Owen she's afraid of is Skye Blue. Skye tells her that she's been waiting for this chance, and she's going to take it. They start arguing and bowing up to each other before laughing and embracing. Mind games from the champion on the heels of another successful defense.
• THE DOGS are here with more disposable cameras to do another 5-second pose. That is interrupted by the entrance of THE GUNNS.
• JON MOXLEY is on commentary for the entire rest of the show, still in full gear with no shirt. Tony Schiavone tells him he just earned his 201st win in AEW; Moxley, as usual, is annoyed by the fact that people are keeping track of this. 
• Austin Gunn O'Connor rolls Clark Connors; the ensuing kickout sends Austin towards the rope, where he's met with a shillelagh swung by David Finlay. Stephon Smith doesn't see it, and he's out on his feet when Connors spears him to win the match. They try to continue to attack The Gunns but JUICE ROBINSON and ACE AUSTIN show up to make the save.
• Following Willow Nightingale vacating the TBS Championship, Tony Schiavone tells us that over the coming weeks, there will be six head-to-head qualifying matches for AEW's first-ever Survival of the Fittest match to crowd a new TBS Champion.
• After Jake and Brian kill some jobbers, KONOSUKE TAKESHITA's entrance hits as he comes out for his main event championship match. The entire crop of referees has to rush out to hold them back from attacking Takeshita, who holds the title up at the bottom of the ramp to taunt them.
• Daniel Garcia spends most of the main event focusing on the left knee of Takeshita. At one point he starts doing push-ups on Takeshita's hurt leg instead of continuing to apply offense, which annoys Jon Moxley on commentary so much that he gives the headset to Marina so he can get up and go to ringside to yell at Danny to keep working the leg. Marina sits down and tells Tony, verbatim, "I'm just waiting for Daniel to put Takeshita's toe in his butthole." Takeshita gets Danny up for the Bastard Driver which elicits a frustrated "oh... my God, dude" from Marina. Danny then slips out and takes the left ankle of Takeshita. "In. The butt, dude," says Marina to this.
• After Danny escapes the pinfall attempt from a Blue Thunder Bomb, Takeshita goes for the Power Drive knee, but his left leg buckles, and Danny curbstomps him.
• This one's an instant classic, ending in Takeshita knocking Danny's block off with a forearm before hitting Raging Fire to win the match. Even Moxley is pleased despite his guy losing.
• All five members of the DON CALLIS FAMILY we saw earlier tonight come back out to attack Takeshita after the match. Trent comes over to commentary to jaw with Mox, prompting him to take the headset off and confront him before he, Danny, and Marina are suddenly jumped by SHANE TAYLOR PROMOTIONS. PAC and WHEELER YUTA sprint down to ringside through the crowd to provide reinforcements as SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY's theme hits. Bailey races down the ramp to the ring, joined by the trios champions RODERICK STRONG, KYLE O'REILLY, and ORANGE CASSIDY to provide backup for Takeshita.
• Lee Moriarty throws Wheeler Yuta onto the announce desk before he and Carlie Bravo start taunting Nigel McGuinness. Nigel eventually decides he's had enough and lays out Bravo; Lee has to wrestle him back, and then Carlie separates Lee and Nigel. Danny comes over and starts attacking Lee.
• The Death Riders, Conglomeration, Speedball, and Takeshita are able to fend off STP and the Family. It seems that there's a shaky but mutual respect between the Death Riders and the others.
