00:00Welcome back to AEW's Summer Blockbuster Live in Portland, Oregon.
00:06A tag team clash on the way.
00:13This is a tag team bounce in for one fall with a 20-minute time limit approaching the ring.
00:31The team of Penelope Ford and Megan Bane.
00:37A very ominous entrance for Penelope Ford and Megan Bane.
00:42Taz, a formidable tag team that have basically laid everyone to waste that has stepped in their path.
00:50But last week it was Anna Jay. It seemed bleak.
00:54It seems like it would be the end of her career until Ty Mello, seeing her for the first time in more than two years intervening on behalf of her good friend Anna Jay.
01:06Yeah, definitely a shocking moment. Great to see Ty back.
01:10And I think Adam was more happy than anybody that Ty came back.
01:13Because Adam was in a lot of trouble, Ian.
01:15Certainly was.
01:17This formidable duo of Megan Bane, Penelope Ford.
01:21Ty J.
01:22Ty J.
01:23Ty J. Jones. Here we go.
01:25Big return here tonight.
01:27And their opponents, Ty Mello and Anna Jay.
01:36He's still woman.
01:37It's like a time machine.
01:38It's awesome.
01:40I know, they're still doing our taunt, Taz.
01:42Ty Mello and Anna Jay, very experienced as a duo.
01:47I mean, they've competed in some of the gnarliest matches, street fights that we've seen here in AEW.
01:55Their toughness is without question.
01:58But the question now becomes with a two-year layoff from the ring, what shape is Ty Mello and especially in the face of opposition like Penelope Ford and Megan Bane.
02:10And I have a question for you, Taz.
02:11I mean, Ty Mello and Anna Jay, the formidable duo that they are.
02:16But they have a long history, Taz, with Penelope Ford.
02:19And now Penelope Ford kind of comes in with their own secret weapon in the Megasys.
02:22Absolutely.
02:23And Megasys makes a big difference.
02:25Excalibur and I've called many a matches of Ty Mello and Anna Jay, you know, as a duo.
02:30But I understand what you guys are saying about a two-year layoff for Ty.
02:33But the thing is with her, she's a legit judoka.
02:36You know, a tremendous athlete even before she was a professional wrestler.
02:41Yes, if you come to AEW relatively recently, in the last two years or so, Ty Mello, to Taz's point, quite nearly an Olympic-level judo player.
02:52Oh!
02:53But Penelope Ford, Anna Jay going down, and Ty Mello and Megan Bane, the Megasys.
03:00I'm not afraid of you.
03:01I'm not afraid of you.
03:02Well, what a way to test yourself.
03:03And that's what Ty Mello, you heard her say, I'm not afraid of you.
03:05And she's not.
03:06Ooh.
03:07You test yourself against Penelope and Megan right now in the way they are.
03:12It's impressive.
03:13Well, that's even more impressive right there by Ford.
03:15Penelope Ford sending Ty Mello into the steel ring steps.
03:18Anna Jay scooped up with relative ease by Megan Bane.
03:24I gotta tell you, Penelope, very smart, not just as an in-ring competitor, but outside the ring, to align yourself with someone like Bane, who's just a dominant force.
03:33I mean, since it was the beginning of the year when Megan Bane really burst out onto the scene here in AEW.
03:41And since then, to Tez's point, has just been dominant.
03:44And that is thanks in large part, not only to her own strength, but also to that woman, the hyper-athletic Penelope Ford.
03:51Absolutely.
03:52Geez.
03:53And the alliance has been built.
03:56It's been one of mutual benefit, but it's Anna Jay now.
03:59Irish whip!
04:00Ooh!
04:01Into the corner.
04:02And a big elbow strike.
04:03Yeah.
04:04Anna's a heavy hitter.
04:05Penelope knows that.
04:06Oh!
04:07And Anna, using her athleticism, her flexibility, and the range of those legs stunning Penelope Ford and bringing her down hard in the center of the ring.
04:20Anna, double-footed dropkick, now electing not to cover.
04:25Interesting decision there.
04:26A smart bring her to the corner where Ty is.
04:29Caught the ring in half, keep Penelope away from Megan.
04:33I think that's smart.
04:34Ty Mello, elbow in the corner.
04:37Anna, elbow of her own.
04:40Isolating the smaller.
04:43And there's that history between Ty and Penelope.
04:46Well, she told her, I didn't forget about you.
04:48Ty, don't forget.
04:50Oh, wait.
04:51Megan Bain!
04:52Oh!
04:53Caught Ty Mello and now saving Penelope Ford.
04:56Oh, Bain!
04:57Big haymaker!
04:58And now Penelope!
05:02Thought she was going for a T-Harris, but instead setting her up, setting Anna up for Megan Bain to take advantage as this match continues live on Summer Blockbuster!
05:13Ty trying to regroup, recuperate, get back onto the apron.
05:21Her partner here, Taz, though, in trouble.
05:22Yeah, Anna is in a lot of trouble.
05:24You can see there's not much energy in her at the moment.
05:27Sometimes something like this that Penelope's doing could wake you up.
05:30Cause it's disrespectful, you know.
05:32Kinda boot wash to the face.
05:39And this is where, if the ring rust isn't an issue, Taz, it's the familiarity, it's the instincts of the anticipation of what your partner is gonna do.
05:50I mean, that's tough to recreate, especially against a team like Penelope Ford and Megan Bain, who's been teaming together so consistently.
05:57Yes, they've become the proverbial well-oiled machine, right?
06:01They have that continuity as a unit, even Megan and Penelope, where it's been a minute since we've seen Anna and tie together.
06:11Maybe she's going over, overhead belly-to-belly suplex there.
06:15Anna landing really hard.
06:17A little bit, almost an unforced error there by Megan Bain as she threw Anna toward her own corner.
06:24Correct.
06:25Penelope!
06:26Moonsault!
06:27And the deep cover!
06:29Anna able to kick out.
06:32Penelope almost got it there, actually.
06:34She's a little crazy.
06:35We know, we know Penelope, she's a little out there.
06:37She's a little wild.
06:38Let's go!
06:40She's a girl.
06:41She's my friend.
06:43But I know she's nuts.
06:44I have a lot of friends that are crazy.
06:46A lot.
06:48Right now, I have family members that are nuts.
06:51There's a whole litany of people around me.
06:54Enough about me.
06:56As Penelope applying pressure, now with that boot, with a knee and the right between the shoulder blades of Anna Jay, Anna.
07:05As we know, Ian has a history of shoulder issues.
07:08It certainly does.
07:09It's kept her out of action for extended periods of time since the early days of AEW.
07:14Unfortunately, and Taz, you know this as well, once you get an injury, a lasting injury, it's so easy for your opponents to continue to retarget that.
07:23Of course.
07:24I mean, you know, especially today with the way things are in social media and when you have an injury, a lot of people that kind of let the world know what's going on with this.
07:32You know, which I don't agree with, you know, because then your opponent's gonna know.
07:36I mean, we saw that play out in our opening contest.
07:38Yeah.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Absolutely.
07:41Targeting the neck of Will Ospreay.
07:42Correct.
07:43But like we said, Ospreay's an open book.
07:44He's open to the audience and lets them know what your opponent's gonna know.
07:47He's gonna know what's going on.
07:49Oh, it's Anna.
07:50Oh.
07:51Maybe on the verge of making the tag.
07:53Ford to the outside.
07:54Oh.
07:55And Penelope dragging Ty Melo off the apron.
07:59Oh, Penelope.
08:00Yes!
08:01And Megan Bain taking advantage of that opening.
08:05Let's go.
08:06Could have been.
08:07What are those?
08:08Miscommunication issues.
08:10After a two-year layoff come into play as Megan Bain makes the crawl to cover.
08:14The lateral press is scaped by Anna Jay.
08:17Yeah, Anna's really being tested right now.
08:20Her toughness is being tested.
08:22Her heart is being tested.
08:24Big shoulders driven into the midsection of Anna Jay.
08:30Oh.
08:31Punishing chop.
08:33Trying to fall out of the corner here.
08:35Still fighting.
08:36Anna's still fighting, guys.
08:37She's still fighting.
08:38Let's go!
08:40Let's go!
08:46Welcome back to AEW Summer Blockbuster.
08:48Anna Jay may have just created the opening she needs to make the tag to Ty Melo returning
08:54to action for the first time in two years.
