Ricochet recruits A.R. Fox vs. Mike Bailey Kevin Knight _ AEW Dynamite 62525
Transcript
00:00AR Fox, feels like there's a lot of momentum on your side right now.
00:04Just this past Saturday on Collision, you went to battle with our world champion, Jon Moxley.
00:08While it wasn't a victory for you, it feels like things are moving in your direction.
00:12What's next for you?
00:13You know, I got all this momentum going, but AR Fox, calm down.
00:18I came here with no animosity, with no ill will, actually the opposite, in fact.
00:22I don't know how aware you are, but over the past couple of weeks,
00:25I've been searching for specific individuals with a unique set of skills to help me make my quest for gold become a reality.
00:33And we've known each other for decades, and all I've got to say is I feel that you have just about everything that it takes to help me and join my crew.
00:40And what better way to test that out than you and I, we team up tonight against those two...
00:44You and I, we team up against those two chumps, Speedball Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Jet Speed.
00:50What do you say we take them out tonight, you and I?
00:52You team up.
00:55Man, I knew it, I knew it, thank you so much.
00:59I knew you was going to say yes, I knew you was going to look.
01:02And man never forgets his head shakes, never, never goes back on his promises.
01:06Never goes back on his promises.
01:07You and I, we're going to take them out tonight.
01:10Good luck.
01:17Well, Fox kind of extended and hired.
01:20Kind of.
01:21He was just kind of sitting there, you know?
01:25Ricochet, I think, jumping on an opening that may or may not have been there.
01:29This is a tag team bout, set for one fall.
01:36Introducing first, show some love for Ricochet.
01:41I'll tell you what, I'm glad I'm wearing sunglasses because his head is shiny.
01:45You couldn't tell when he was with René, he had that nice cap on, but...
01:49Yeah, thank God he ain't got rid of that eagles, Scott.
01:51He ran up some point.
01:52Wow, wow.
01:54Gotta get a Jaguar cap, son.
01:56The defending champion.
01:59And his tag team partner, AR Fox.
02:03Now, if I was AR Fox, Excalibur, I would have a problem with the amount of eyes and me's in the statements that Ricochet had.
02:12Because to me, Ricochet made it about him.
02:16Certainly, and I think that's a large part of the reluctance being shown by AR Fox, who...
02:21You know, I mean, he's had a series of very impressive performances, but unfortunately, he's been able to make a dent in the win column.
02:30Perhaps a union with Ricochet could set the shift right for AR Fox.
02:38I guess we'll find out.
02:40And their opponent, legit Kevin Knight and Speedball!
02:47Speedball! Mike Bailey!
02:51I want to talk about a very unexpected but very successful union.
02:56Speedball Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, both men joining the ranks of AEW very recently and coming together quite successfully as a duo.
03:07Certainly, fans of fans, chemistry, Taz.
03:09These two combine high-flying martial arts in a great blend.
03:13Yeah, no doubt.
03:14Jeff Spiebender, an exciting team for sure.
03:16Too highly athletic guys, as you pointed out, for sure.
03:21So this should be a pretty good match as long as...
03:23Look, if you're AR Fox, you've got to be careful here.
03:26You know, with Ricochet, he's a little sketchy.
03:29Let's be honest.
03:29I don't know if you guys realize that.
03:31A little sketchy, and he's been talking about adding some reinforcements,
03:35some men that will help him in his quest to capture gold here in AEW.
03:39Oh, not anyone, not everyone can do it alone.
03:42You've got to listen to me.
03:43Some people need assistance.
03:44You've got to listen to me.
03:44Be smart about this.
03:45Oh, talking about being smart, opening himself up for those big right hands from Kevin Knight.
03:51Fox charging at Speedball Mike Bailey.
03:53Bailey taking Fox out of the proceedings, and now Ricochet finding himself neutralized at the hands and feet of Jet Speed.
04:02Oh, he's caught in between both Jet and Speed.
04:07Wow, swings from Ricochet.
04:11Knight, oh, miss, and now tag made.
04:14AR Fox into the fray.
04:16Trusted Fox, who double-hipped off.
04:19Yeah, but he tagged Fox and threw him into the fire, in essence, if you think about it.
04:23Now Fox put on the brakes.
04:25Bailey sent back to the floor.
04:28Kevin Knight, oh, very nearly slipped off the apron,
04:30but Fox ensured it would be so, as now AR Fox vaulting over the rope.
04:36The foot stop, the senton for Bailey on the floor.
04:39AR Fox, extremely innovative for sure, with his offense.
04:44Great awareness to keep that momentum going.
04:47See, Ricochet's taking credit for it.
04:49He's saying, see, I know what I'm doing.
04:51He didn't do anything, but he's taking credit.
04:53Taz, it's this innovative, high-flying offense that has caused the ground swell of support for AR Fox in recent weeks.
04:59I mean, it feels like he's just one win away from something really special here.
05:04I guess.
05:06You got me.
05:07That's a receipt.
05:08That's, well, yeah.
05:09A few.
05:10Great showing.
05:11Oh!
05:13Great job there by Fox.
05:14Twisting suplex here.
05:16One, two.
05:17Oh!
05:17Yeah, see, it's smart.
05:20Fox keeps it.
05:21He knows he wants to keep Knight away from Bailey for sure.
05:26As a team!
05:27Pull him towards your corner, but your partner is on the ground, meaning Ricochet.
05:30Yeah, Ricochet.
05:30He's not even on the apron.
05:31Ricochet espousing the virtues of teamwork there from the floor, not even in position to make a tag.
05:37Should AR Fox want it?
05:38He's doing just fine!
05:39He's doing great!
05:40Now, Fox, leg is hooked, too.
05:43Well, he is doing great, but tags, correct me if I'm wrong, that's normally when you start to have the quick tags, keep the control, keep your opponent in the corner.
05:50Yeah, exactly.
05:50That's the right time.
05:52You're exactly right, Ian, and that's what Fox can't do because Ricochet's on the floor.
05:56Now, Ricochet up to the apron.
06:00Fox needed the midsection on Kevin Knight.
06:05Fireman's carry.
06:06Knight escapes the waist lock.
06:08Standing switch executed.
06:10Elbow strike Knight escapes out the grip.
06:12AR Fox.
06:13Ricochet.
06:14Oh!
06:15He came in illegally and left.
06:17Arrowly.
06:18Arrowly.
06:19Arrowly.
06:20As did AR Fox, and now Jeff Speed.
06:24Uh-oh!
06:24Take and flag here!
06:28What an arrowly!
06:29Just 17 days away from all-in Texas.
06:32The odd couple of Ricochet and AR Fox having some success here.
06:37Almost unexpectedly against Jeff Speed.
06:39And spoke too soon.
06:40One-
06:40Yeah!
06:41Super classic.
06:43Excalibur, you were right.
06:45Unfortunately, that statement is maybe no longer true.
06:48Whoa!
06:49Two athletes not on the same page here.
06:51And, well, I'm having fun here watching this, but they're not having fun in the ring.
06:54Oh, definitely Fox.
06:55He's pissed.
06:57And now quickly things change as Knight gets them back in this.
07:00Jet Speed with an opportunity here.
07:02Have a Knight to lunge and boot for AR Fox.
07:04Ricochet sent open over the top.
07:07And the tag makes people on Mike Bailey.
07:10Bailey coming in.
07:11And the feet of Speedball are flying.
07:16Go, ninja!
07:16Go, ninja!
07:17Go!
07:18Go!
07:18Go!
07:19Wow!
07:20The midsection of the Axe kick.
07:22Fox opened up.
07:24And the round kick to the chest.
07:26Speedball Mike Bailey seizing on this opening running shooting star press.
07:32The leg is hooked.
07:33The cover is made.
07:34But Ricochet the break.
07:35Oh, that's a great team captain right there.
07:37Ricochet making that save.
07:39Has a tag right now by Knight.
07:41Unbeknownst to Ricochet, I believe.
07:44Knight's legal.
07:45Double bypass.
07:47Double drop kick from Jet Speed.
07:51As Ricochet sent to the outside.
07:54What do they have in mind here?
07:56The launch!
07:57The lariat!
07:57From Kevin Knight.
08:00Knight makes the cover.
08:01Two.
08:02And AR Fox able to kick out.
08:05And how quickly the pendulum has turned, Nick Scalibur.
08:08And fans, special programming note.
08:10Collision airs tomorrow night, 8, 7 central.
08:13TNT streaming on Maxis.
08:15Speedball Mike Bailey at the...
08:17And he is orbital bone catching the step.
08:19And Kevin Knight, his orbital bone colliding with Ricochets.
08:24Or his eye socket.
08:25And Fox sent him in.
08:28And now Fox giving up his own body to take out Bailey.
08:34So Fox taking control here, Taz.
08:35He's looking like the captain now.
08:37He wants to win the match.
08:38No matter if it's a tag team match or not.
08:41Bailey had other ideas with that kick.
08:42But watch Fox.
08:44Fox low main pain.
08:48But Fox taking so much punishment in this match.
08:51Unable to capitalize.
08:52Like it or not, Fox, you know it.
08:56You've got to get to your corner and get Ricochet in this thing.
09:00I know he doesn't want to do it, but he's got to.
09:02He took a lot of punishment on his own maneuver there.
09:04It's a tough move.
09:07That's the thing.
09:07Bailey trusts Knight.
09:09He's going straight to the corner.
09:10Fox looking for Ricochet.
09:12Scalibur, he's not there.
09:13Ricochet looks like the last thing he wants is to tag into this match.
09:19As Speedball makes the tag to the jet, Kevin Knight.
09:22And that's exactly how it played out.
09:25Look at this.
09:26Ricochet leaving AR Fox high and dry.
09:30Well, what that means is AR Fox is in a 2-on-1 situation, which is tough.
09:35Great precision there by Kevin Knight as the sky high delivered.
09:42And the jet, Kevin Knight, who began his pro wrestling journey here in the American
09:50Pacific Northwest, the U-O-Splash.
09:56That was awesome.
09:57Kevin Knight, one, two, three.
10:00Here are your winners, Speedball, Mike Bailey, and the jet, Kevin Knight.
10:09Well, Jet Speed took advantage of the mishap by Shukse with Ricochet.
10:13That man did.
10:14He screwed over AR Fox.
10:17Mentally not there, just almost on a different planics caliber while letting Jet Speed get
10:23back in this.
10:24Yeah, I think had Ricochet been fully committed to this match, there's a very good chance that
10:29he and Fox could have picked up the win.
10:32Absolutely, arguably talent on paper, Taz.
10:35If Ricochet and AR Fox either equal or greater than Jet Speed, but Jet Speed found a way.
10:40Yes.
