00:00:00When there is something real, you can feel it.
00:00:07Finally I felt the calming breeze.
00:00:13Moments forever etched.
00:00:16Stepping out to watch the final scene.
00:00:21Destinies realized.
00:00:24After all, it's you my pride in me.
00:00:30On one day under the Texas sun.
00:00:34I can't speak whatever I can speak.
00:00:39Real will be felt.
00:00:42You see.
00:00:47We are all here because one day we fell in love with club wrestling.
00:00:52We have made history.
00:00:54With the eyes of the world upon us.
00:00:56One goal.
00:00:58Now I've found the way to meet the means.
00:01:03I will ride into Texas.
00:01:05I will defeat Moxley.
00:01:07I will take the AEW world championship.
00:01:09I will free it.
00:01:11For you, this is do or die.
00:01:15After all, it's me and the king and the beast.
00:01:19I will not have what it takes.
00:01:21John Moxley!
00:01:22You give me everything!
00:01:23For you give me death!
00:01:25I can't speak.
00:01:26All in.
00:01:27Texas!
00:01:28Death!
00:01:29Sing!
00:01:33Sing!
00:01:36Deaf writers!
00:01:37You want to change the world just like us.
00:01:40We are all done with the power that you keep abusing.
00:01:44Put the EVP titles on the line.
00:01:48What do we get out of this?
00:01:51Beat us.
00:01:52The me and Swerve can't challenge for the world title for one year.
00:01:56We're going to put you guys down.
00:01:57We're putting the EVP title on someone that has always belonged to you people.
00:02:02It's not your IDW anymore.
00:02:04It's awesome.
00:02:07It's my movie.
00:02:08My story.
00:02:09The biggest women's match of all time.
00:02:13Mercedes Monet.
00:02:15In front of the entire world!
00:02:20I'm going to have to beat you.
00:02:22And you're going to have to kill me!
00:02:25Look at the death sentence you went.
00:02:27And this is going to be a beautiful murder that you...
00:02:31Right.
00:02:35The most anticipated match ever in AEW!
00:02:37The rivalry between Omega and Okada.
00:02:40It is legendary!
00:02:41And we ain't done yet.
00:02:43Somehow I knew...
00:02:45This day would come.
00:02:49Kenny Omega!
00:02:50Your greatest opponent, Okada!
00:02:52And the man who knows all your weaknesses
00:02:54have teamed up against you!
00:02:56On!
00:02:57The best bout machine now!
00:03:00I'm going to wipe you from the history books
00:03:02of all elite wrestling, Kenny.
00:03:05With all I have left.
00:03:06This business and this championship.
00:03:09Winner takes all in the Lone Star State!
00:03:12When it comes to this match, Okada,
00:03:14let's leave it all in the ring.
00:03:17One final time...
00:03:19for everything.
00:03:24And now, from Globe Light Field in Arlington,
00:03:30AEW presents...
00:03:32All In Texas!
00:03:33It's Saturday!
00:03:34You know what that means!
00:03:35AW's All In Texas!
00:03:36About to present a spectacle like none other here in Arlington!
00:03:40I'm Excalibur!
00:03:41I'm Excalibur!
00:03:42I'm Excalibur!
00:03:43It's Saturday!
00:03:44You know what that means!
00:03:45AW's All In Texas!
00:03:46About to present a spectacle like none other here in Arlington!
00:03:48I'm Excalibur!
00:03:49I'm Excalibur!
00:03:50Joined by the inepfable Tony Chivani!
00:03:51Nigel McGinnis!
00:03:52Later on tonight, we will have Taz
00:03:53and the Hall of Fame voice of professional wrestling,
00:03:54Jim Ross joining us at the desk!
00:03:57But right now,
00:03:58we are kicking off the action tonight in Texas!
00:04:02So, if I get it, later on tonight, we will have Taz as the Hall of Fame voice of professional wrestling, Jim Ross, joining us at the desk.
00:04:09But right now, we are kicking off the action tonight in Texas.
00:04:14In your opening contest, 7-1-4 is for the AEW World Trials Championship.
00:04:37Introducing the challenge, Ryo Yuda, Claudio Castagnoli, and Gabe Kidd.
00:04:50Two of these three men, formerly held the AEW World Trials Championship, I'm talking about Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuda.
00:04:58But the wild card in this match is the mercenary Gabe Kidd from New Japan Pro Wrestling.
00:05:04A man, that seemingly like Jon Moxley, Nigel, is hell-bent on destroying AEW and everything it stands for.
00:05:12Well, ever since he showed his face here on a number of occasions, he has stuck his nose in the Deathbriders business,
00:05:19helping them out on more than one occasion, attacking Samoa Joe when Joe came close to taking the title from Jon Moxley in a cage.
00:05:29Gabe Kidd there. Man, a war dog. His fight, far worse than his part.
00:05:37And, Scalibur, you said the wild card. He's really like a wild man, the way he came into the ring.
00:05:41Almost really falling on all fours. I've never seen anything like this.
00:05:45I guess it's getting himself fired up. I don't know. But if that doesn't get him fired up, take a look at this scene that we're looking before us right now.
00:05:53Gigantic crowd on hand. Great to have everybody here. Over 29 countries in attendance here tonight.
00:06:0029 countries. Fans from all 50 states coming to Arlington.
00:06:05Joining us here for all in Texas, as we are just moments away from kicking off the action.
00:06:15And for the combined of 789 pounds, they are the AEW World Trials Champions,
00:06:31Son of Morgia, Katsuyori Shiba, and Powered Househeart, The Arcs!
00:06:42Tony, a seemingly unlikely trio. Katsuyori Shibata, Samoa Joe, and Powerhouse Hobbs.
00:06:52But one that has a perfect record when competing as a trio.
00:06:58And just under three months ago, defeated the Death Riders to win those AEW World Trials Championships.
00:07:04So the Death Riders obviously have some payback in mind. But you know, when I look at Kate Kidd, he's like a cage animal almost.
00:07:14When I see Joe, and I know everyone wins, everyone loses at wrestling. That's the way it is. I mean, there's wins and losses.
00:07:20When Joe walks in the ring, he almost looks invincible to me. The way he presents himself, the way he... And look at this! We're starting already, Excal.
00:07:28Yeah, we are off to the races here in Arlington. The Ops sliding in.
00:07:32And Joe immediately going for Wheeler Yuta, reigniting that clash from Wednesday night on Dynamite.
00:07:42And now Hobbs and Joe battering Claudio Castagnoli as Yuta coming in from behind.
00:07:48And Katsuyori Shibata and Gabe Kidd, they have a long history together.
00:07:52Katsuyori Shibata, one of the men who trained Gabe Kidd at the New Japan Pro Dojo, Pro Wrestling Dojo.
00:07:57And it was Gabe Kidd, though, that got the victory this past Saturday in Collision, one-on-one.
00:08:01Isn't this amazing? We're like one minute into the first match, and already they're brawling on the floor.
00:08:07You had to know after what happened this past week on Collision. Shibata was gonna come out firing.
00:08:12Gabe Kidd with a low blow and pile driver to a man whose career was almost ended. He could have had issues.
00:08:19A man who taught him as well.
00:08:23Kidd and Shibata attempting to stand their ground center of the ring, but double-handed chop takes down Shibata.
00:08:30But Shibata, that elbow strike caught Kidd right underneath the jaw, and both men down.
00:08:36Now the accumulation of those strikes finally showing their toll.
00:08:40Aha, but both men back up on their haunches and now to their feet.
00:08:46Again the Bushido fighting spirit.
00:08:49Oh, Shibata caught him with that, Kidd.
00:08:53He went down, and now Shibata with the advantage.
00:08:56Absolutely. Kick him when he is down.
00:08:59A guy like Kidd. Do not let him get up.
00:09:02The tag goes to Samoa Joe.
00:09:06Tag made to Wheeler Yuta.
00:09:09Joe picked up the victory on Wheeler Yuta this past Wednesday night.
00:09:12A dynamite, the Kikina clutch.
00:09:15Yuta the immediate tap-out.
00:09:19Joe.
00:09:20Yuta spent a lot of time with Jon Moxley.
00:09:24A lot of members of the Death Riders working on his grappling abilities, submission avoidance as well.
00:09:31Joe, such a power and a size advantage against Yuta.
00:09:34Very hard for this young man.
00:09:36Attempting to use his technique.
00:09:38A drop toehold.
00:09:40Easier said than done when attempted on Samoa Joe as Joe takes that sight tight headlock.
00:09:46Equally feared and revered in the industry, certainly.
00:09:50Violence manifest.
00:09:52Found the perfect blend in the running mate that he has in the ops.
00:09:56But as powerhouse, Hobbs comes in there.
00:09:59Taking the attention of the official.
00:10:01We should probably talk about the cold-hearted, handsome elephant in the room.
00:10:06Being the man, Hobbs.
00:10:08Simply former member of the ops.
00:10:11Hook.
00:10:12He was injured by Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta.
00:10:15Still out of action.
00:10:16He made his return.
00:10:17That anarchy in the arena match.
00:10:19Taking out Claudio Castagnoli, courtesy of a golf club.
00:10:21But shared a very cold look with Samoa Joe.
00:10:25Joe was happy to see Hook.
00:10:27But Hook did not seem to return the sentiment.
00:10:29Would not put out the welcome mat, certainly.
00:10:32And one wonders.
00:10:33Oh!
00:10:34Joe not concerned about that right now, though.
00:10:36After the victory.
00:10:37It's past Wednesday.
00:10:39Certainly Joe's got to feel confident.
00:10:41Oh, yeah.
00:10:42Yeah, don't open your fates up to Joe like that.
00:10:45He's got one of the best jabs in all of AEW.
00:10:47Bam!
00:10:48Not sure that Wheeler Yuta had any say in the matter.
00:10:51As Samoa Joe and Zegiri staggers the young member of the Death Riders as Powerhouse Hobbs
00:10:58seeing his first legal action of the match.
00:11:00The chant of meat knows how they like meat here in Texas from what I understand.
00:11:08They say they know a thing or two about that.
00:11:12Not too far from the stockyards here at DFW.
00:11:17Powerhouse Hobbs with Yuta in his grip.
00:11:20Yuta finds himself inverted.
00:11:24Delayed vertical suplex by Hobbs.
00:11:27Hobbs drives him down.
00:11:30All the blood rush to the head of Wheeler Yuta.
00:11:35And now he'll do his best to get out of that corner.
00:11:39Yeah, Nigel, to your point, I mean, the blood rushes to your head,
00:11:42but when you come crashing down like that,
00:11:44the blood just returns immediately to all of your extremities.
00:11:47It's very, very destabilizing.
00:11:50Disorienting, certainly.
00:11:51That can play a factor as well.
00:11:53But again, Wheeler Yuta, who has suffered his gub up.
00:11:57Battle of Press.
00:11:58Suffered a lot in the Death Riders in terms of,
00:12:02I don't want to say being the whipping boy,
00:12:05but certainly, you know, when there's a difficult task to be done,
00:12:09Wheeler Yuta gets it.
00:12:10You can say whipping boy.
00:12:12I mean, I often thought that he was held hostage by Jon Motley or...
00:12:16Yeah, but it turns out he's just brainwashed by Motley.
00:12:19That's the word.
00:12:21Look at that.
00:12:22Hey, come on!
00:12:24And now, Wheeler Yuta's in a tough spot here.
00:12:27Oh, wow.
00:12:29But Yuta, I mean, I have to say, to his credit,
00:12:33has been toughened up by the hard lessons from Jon Moxley,
00:12:38the AEW World Champion, from Claudio Castagnoli,
00:12:41from Gabe Kidd, even from the Bastard Pack as well.
00:12:44I have to agree, that's some tough guys to learn from.
00:12:48Look at that.
00:12:49Yuta takes down Katsiori Shibata, and in comes Claudio Castagnoli.
00:12:54Castagnoli, the linchpin of the Death Riders.
00:12:58Sinewy strong.
00:13:00Castagnoli collected the pinfall victory this past Wednesday night,
00:13:05over Katsiori Shibata in that huge all-star eight-person tag-team match.
00:13:08And now, these two picking up right where they left off just three days ago.
00:13:13Come on, Shibata!
00:13:15European uppercut of Castagnoli as good as anyone.
00:13:19Primed.
00:13:20Wham!
00:13:21Look how quick that is.
00:13:23Look at that, they are just eating each other's European uppercut
00:13:28and coming back for more.
00:13:30Castagnoli who has to hide advantage on Shibata,
00:13:33able to get a little bit deeper.
00:13:34Wow!
00:13:35That's the only really wound up with that one,
00:13:38but Shibata comes flying in with the boot.
00:13:40Now, Shibata may have the advantage.
00:13:48The drop kick in the corner.
00:13:50Shibata on target.
00:13:53Yeah!
00:13:57Now, cover made again.
00:13:58Lateral press.
00:13:59Castagnoli able to kick out.
00:14:00Shibata who may make an attack to Samoa Joe.
00:14:03Step off, perhaps, again after that pile driver on collision this week.
00:14:09Keep it at 100%.
00:14:12Now, these two men, Samoa Joe and Claudio,
00:14:14have known each other very, very intensely since 06,
00:14:17back in Ring of Honor when they were there.
00:14:19Now, cover made.
00:14:20The far leg hooked.
00:14:21Claudio able to kick out.
00:14:24I'm coming for you, boy.
00:14:25Yeah, I'm coming for you.
00:14:26Yeah.
00:14:27I mentioned earlier that Gabe Kidd is down on a number of occasions
00:14:31with Samoa Joe.
00:14:34For how typically collected Samoa Joe is,
00:14:37Gabe Kidd is so great at trash talk and baiting in opponents
00:14:41and having them make unforced errors like Samoa Joe just did
00:14:46as Hobbs trying to appeal to referee Rick Knox,
00:14:49but the Deathriders and the mercenary, Gabe Kidd,
00:14:52going to work on Joe on the floor.
00:14:54Gabe Kidd spent plenty of time in a mental hospital,
00:14:59from what I understand in England,
00:15:01seeing someone drink their own urine.
00:15:03So that might have an effect on your brain, dare I say, Tony.
00:15:08Where do you get this information from?
00:15:10I watch.
00:15:11I do my...
00:15:12This is crazy.
00:15:13I did an interview with RJ sitting.
00:15:15He's doing research, Tony.
00:15:17Now repeated shots to the midsection of Samoa Joe
00:15:20and a right hand into the jaw.
00:15:22Gabe Kidd.
00:15:25He's not a small man by any standards.
00:15:27He's giving up size to Samoa Joe,
00:15:28but very powerful hands, Nigel.
00:15:30And now biting.
00:15:32Utah getting a little bit of payback and retribution as well.
00:15:36And certainly...
00:15:41Gabe Kidd coming over here off camera.
00:15:44Giving Tony Schiavone a shellacking as well.
00:15:47And Kidd called this a domination.
00:15:52Right now, I mean, he's not far off.
00:15:54It's Claudio just launching himself at Shibata
00:15:57and a very frustrated Hobbs being cautioned by referee Rick Knox.
00:16:01I guarantee you, Jon Moxley, the leader.
00:16:04Whoa!
00:16:05The Death Riders.
00:16:06That's an explosion out of the corner.
00:16:07He's had a word to Uda and Castagnoli
00:16:09about how important this match is.
00:16:11What it would do for Moxley and the Death Riders
00:16:14to add momentum to reclaim those Trios titles.
00:16:18I mean, it really would set the tone for the night for the Death Riders.
00:16:21Opening the event by reclaiming the World Trios Championships
00:16:25and then closing it down potentially with Jon Moxley
00:16:29remaining with his grip around the AEW World Championship.
00:16:34Talked earlier, Tony, about the perception of Samoa Joe on the way to the ring.
00:16:39That's the perception.
00:16:41Wins and losses.
00:16:42Opening out all in.
00:16:43It could be a big factor.
00:16:44Ooh!
00:16:45Ooh!
00:16:46Rowing barrel kick.
00:16:48Ooh!
00:16:49And the nose of Castagnoli flattened into the mat.
00:16:54This big, bruising, strong man just throwing their bodies at each other, their heads.
00:17:00Ooh!
00:17:01Ooh!
00:17:02Ooh!
00:17:03Ooh!
00:17:04Ooh!
00:17:05Ooh!
00:17:06Now crammed in here.
00:17:07Globe Life filling.
00:17:08In comes the meats!
00:17:09And fans, you can find your favorite AEW stars and official AEW merchandise
00:17:14by searching Shop the Show in your Amazon Shopping app.
00:17:17As Powerhouse Hobbs going award on the Death Riders and Gabe Kidd.
00:17:22Boy, Hobbs.
00:17:27You're looking at a man that ranks third in singles wins with 88 in his career.
00:17:35How about that for a number?
00:17:36Of all the great singles matches we've all.
00:17:38Hit from behind.
00:17:39Oh!
00:17:40Oh!
00:17:41Oh!
00:17:42Oh!
00:17:43Kidd!
00:17:44Taken off his feet!
00:17:45Wrong thing to do.
00:17:46Hobbs maybe made a big mistake by turning his attention, but then maybe not.
00:17:50Ooh!
00:17:51What a spinebuster by Hobbs!
00:17:54The cover!
00:17:55No!
00:17:56Yuna intervenes!
00:17:57In the granite, an irascible powerhouse Hobbs taken down now.
00:18:03This kid, he's a mad man.
00:18:08Oof!
00:18:09Oof!
00:18:10Oof!
00:18:11Kidd!
00:18:12Kidd!
00:18:13Receiving that contact from Powerhouse Hobbs.
00:18:16Some...
00:18:17Some power there from Claudio Castagnoli.
00:18:20The uppercut!
00:18:21The cover!
00:18:22And very nearly the win!
00:18:23How high he put Powerhouse Hobbs in the air.
00:18:27Up Yuda!
00:18:28Let's go!
00:18:29And he...
00:18:30Claudio now saying up Yuda.
00:18:32And here comes Yuda.
00:18:33Claudio and Yuda, they've used that fastball special effectively.
00:18:36But...
00:18:37The strength!
00:18:38Watch this!
00:18:39Claudio very nearly unparalleled as maybe a doomsday device situation here.
00:18:44Oh!
00:18:45The force!
00:18:46Get in air!
00:18:47One!
00:18:48Two!
00:18:49No!
00:18:50Oh!
00:18:51No way Castagnoli was gonna allow that to get to three.
00:18:55Well that was brand new!
00:18:57Never had seen that before and that was amazing!
00:19:00From Powerhouse.
00:19:02Now Yuda finding himself isolated by the Ops.
00:19:09Joe capping it off.
00:19:10The snapmare center of the ring.
00:19:11The PK!
00:19:13Cotteriore Shibata the cover!
00:19:16Two!
00:19:17Castagnoli there to break it up.
00:19:18Great opening match.
00:19:19I tell you.
00:19:20Ops looking great.
00:19:21They have come back many, many times.
00:19:23As Hobbs trying to drag Claudio Castagnoli to the floor.
00:19:28Castagnoli.
00:19:29Hobbs battling it out.
00:19:32As Gabe Kidd looking for the tag.
00:19:35Oh wait a second.
00:19:36Claudio Castagnoli on the floor!
00:19:38The giant swing into the barricade!
00:19:41Jesus Christ!
00:19:42Wasn't much of a swing but boy it had an impact.
00:19:45Oh it's Mike.
00:19:46Right now we're gonna have a two on two here.
00:19:49I don't know though.
00:19:51Now on the outside Castagnoli.
00:19:53Probably more likely if the two to get back in the ring.
00:19:56But wait a second.
00:19:57Javon and Yuda.
00:19:58They've had their share of battles.
00:19:59Cover here.
00:20:00German suplex.
00:20:01Their share of battles for the Ring of Honor Pure Championship in the past.
00:20:05Absolutely.
00:20:06And Gabe Kidd.
00:20:08Yep.
00:20:09Like I mentioned very familiar.
00:20:11Oh!
00:20:12Shibata as well.
00:20:13Shibata.
00:20:14Fired up and he ate a jaw to the.
00:20:16Right hand to the jaw.
00:20:17A sheer drop.
00:20:18Brain buster.
00:20:19The cover.
00:20:20Shibata kicking out.
00:20:21Barely a one.
00:20:22Once again.
00:20:23The fighting spirit of Shibata.
00:20:25He's taken so much punishment the last few days.
00:20:28After the punishment he took Thursday that we discussed against Gabe Kidd.
00:20:32Nigel you mentioned that the head injury that very nearly ended Katsuguri Shibata's career.
00:20:36It is not lost on Gabe Kidd.
00:20:38That it came from a headbutt very similar to that.
00:20:41Yeah Gabe Kidd.
00:20:42That's dirty pool.
00:20:43More than willing to do whatever it takes to win.
00:20:45No compunction.
00:20:48Uh oh.
00:20:51Here he comes.
00:20:52Slugfest going on.
00:20:54Like we mentioned earlier.
00:20:55Two men who've known each other since Ring of Honor in 06.
00:20:59Well this is Gabe Kidd and Samoa Joe.
00:21:03Hammering.
00:21:04Oh!
00:21:05And the power slam.
00:21:06The cover.
00:21:07The tight cover.
00:21:08But Castagnoli intervenes.
00:21:11And to my point.
00:21:13Castagnoli took out Hobbs on the outside which allowed him to get in.
00:21:17And now has allowed him to get the advantage back in the favor of the Death Riders.
00:21:24As Castagnoli calling out the plays to Wheeler Uta.
00:21:27Maybe think of that fastball special they've used.
00:21:30That assisted splash.
00:21:32Exactly right Excalibur.
00:21:33Way up there.
00:21:34But Hobbs.
00:21:35Hobbs.
00:21:36Oh man.
00:21:37Comes steaming in.
00:21:39Smashes into Castagnoli gave Kidd.
00:21:41Goes to the outside.
00:21:43With Hobbs.
00:21:44Shibata.
00:21:45Oh no he's in wrong place.
00:21:46Shibata comes in.
00:21:47The kick.
00:21:48And Samoa Joe.
00:21:49Caps it off.
00:21:50Marcel Buster.
00:21:53One.
00:21:54Two.
00:21:55Three.
00:21:56One.
00:21:57Two.
00:21:58One.
00:21:59Two.
00:22:00Two.
00:22:01Two.
00:22:02A-E-W.
00:22:03One.
00:22:04Three-off champions.
00:22:05The.
00:22:07Hobbs.
00:22:11Katsiori Shibata.
00:22:12Powerhouse Hobbs and Samoa Joe earned every bit of that victory Tony.
00:22:18Absolutely they did.
00:22:19They were pushed of course.
00:22:20It's not easy going against members of the Death Riders.
00:22:24And members of Death Riders apparently not done now.
00:22:27Well from behind.
00:22:28The Vanquished Death Riders.
00:22:33Continuing the assault after the bell.
00:22:36Well again perception is everything.
00:22:38Yes.
00:22:39They lost the match.
00:22:40Whoa.
00:22:41Oh my sir.
00:22:44Now Yuta.
00:22:45Wielding the chair.
00:22:46Hammering Hobbs on the floor.
00:22:49Now on the shoulder.
00:22:50On the back.
00:22:51Nigel.
00:22:52I mean.
00:22:53We've seen over the last few weeks.
00:22:54The Ops.
00:22:55They've had the back of Hangman Adam Page.
00:22:56As far as the Death Riders have been concerned.
00:22:58Maybe this was a plan all along.
00:23:00Right.
00:23:01Possibly.
00:23:02Win or lose.
00:23:03At the end of the match.
00:23:04You've got to take out the Ops.
00:23:07Oh look at Joe.
00:23:09Samoa Joe.
00:23:10Oh no.
00:23:11Oh no.
00:23:12Oh no.
00:23:13Oh God.
00:23:15Good God.
00:23:17The chair.
00:23:18Wrapped around the neck of Samoa Joe.
00:23:23He is out.
00:23:24He is out cold it seems.
00:23:26And Claudio Castagnoli.
00:23:29Doing unimaginable damage.
00:23:33To Samoa Joe's head and neck.
00:23:37Scary moment there as.
00:23:39Ringside physician.
00:23:40Dr. Michael Sampson.
00:23:42He needs help.
00:23:43He needs help.
00:23:44Oh this is.
00:23:47The lip of the chair.
00:23:48Underneath the jaw of Joe.
00:23:51Doc Sampson going to get some help as well.
00:23:53From the medical staff.
00:23:54We got three now.
00:23:56Checking on Joe.
00:23:58This is not the way we wanted to begin our broadcasts.
00:24:01Samoa Joe.
00:24:05It's a very delicate situation here.
00:24:08Well if there's any good news.
00:24:09Deathriders leave.
00:24:12Without.
00:24:14Championships.
00:24:15And hopefully that will happen later tonight as well.
00:24:17So Joe wiggling his fingers there.
00:24:20So he's okay in the sense of he's still conscious I think.
00:24:24He hasn't moved.
00:24:25So I think he's aware of some of the damage.
00:24:27We'll find out.
00:24:28Perhaps later.
00:24:30Officials.
00:24:33Or the physicians calling for a backboard and a stretcher for Samoa Joe.
00:24:37Undoing the.
00:24:39The bottom rope of course.
00:24:41The second time this week he's been attacked.
00:24:47He's gone.
00:24:48Had to go through this.
00:24:52This is.
00:24:54Like I said not not the way we wanted to begin our broadcast and we.
00:24:57If if at all possible we will update you throughout the night about.
00:25:04Samoa Joe and.
00:25:06The prognosis but.
00:25:08Yeah what's good like I said is Calvary and Nigel it's very apparent he is out cold.
00:25:14And.
00:25:15And.
00:25:18We see powerhouse he's concerned as well.
00:25:21Well.
00:25:22You know Joe's a veteran he's been through many many wars.
00:25:25He's.
00:25:26Done a lot of good for pro wrestling.
00:25:29And the good news he's still a champion.
00:25:31That's the good news.
00:25:32The bad news is is what you're watching you're on.
00:25:35On your screen right now.
00:25:37A champion now.
00:25:39Certainly.
00:25:40But as we saw with Adam Cole.
00:25:42The very.
00:25:44Realities.
00:25:45Professional wrestling.
00:25:47Wonder how much longer.
00:25:49That will remain the case.
00:25:51Our thoughts certainly with Samoa Joe.
00:25:54I understand for a long time and if anybody is as resilient.
00:25:58Here in this job certainly Samoa Joe.
00:26:00Samoa Joe.
00:26:01Yeah and we obviously wishing Samoa Joe all the best.
00:26:05As you know some tense moments to begin our night here tonight.
00:26:08But fans.
00:26:09Shifting gears.
00:26:10Just want to mention that Drafting Sportsbook is official partner of AEW.
00:26:13And customers bet $5 to get $150 in bonus bets instantly.
00:26:17Simply download the Drafting Sportsbook app and sign up with promo code AEW.
00:26:22Drafting Sportsbook.
00:26:23The crown is yours.
00:26:30As you know
00:26:52Well, fans, you know, we just trying to put what we witnessed happened to Samoa Joe behind us.
00:27:00We have a huge night of action in store.
00:27:02Of course, the triple main event, Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada to crown the first ever AEW Unified Champion,
00:27:09Mercedes-Mene, timeless Tony Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship.
00:27:12Nigel, I'm going to put you on the spot once again.
00:27:15Do you think timeless Tony Storm walks out of Arlington as still the AEW Women's World Champion?
00:27:20You know, I hate to say this, I really do, but I think Mercedes-Mene has been unstoppable since her debut here in AEW.
00:27:28She's just going to have more gold for her stash.
00:27:31Fans coming up next, it is the Casino Gauntlet Match to determine who will become the number one contender for the AEW World Championship.
00:27:41Mark Briscoe and MJF will lead us off.
00:27:46The Casino Gauntlet Match.
00:27:49Man, I'm coming to win.
00:27:50Mark Briscoe, the number one entrant in the men's Casino Gauntlet.
00:27:56Briscoe's got some company now.
00:27:58The Casino Gauntlet is mine!
00:28:01MJF, the most hated man in professional wrestling, drawing that number two.
00:28:05It's the first pinfall or submission to capture the number one contendership for the AEW World Championship.
00:28:10I don't know what you're thinking, stepping in the ring with me.
00:28:13If your brother was somehow able to be here in the flesh tonight, he'd say, chicken, it shouldn't have been me in that accident.
00:28:20It shouldn't have been you.
00:28:24That was horrible what he just said.
00:28:26MJF has become personal.
00:28:28You disrespected my brother.
00:28:30I want to look my family in the eyes and I'm going to say, I ain't let that s*** fly.
00:28:35I'm going to beat Mark Briscoe and pin him before anybody else gets to make an entrance.
00:28:40CMLL's biggest star is going to be part of the Casino Gauntlet match.
00:28:46Mr. Go?
00:28:47See, I know you're all excited.
00:28:48You think you're going to show into All in Texas for the Casino Gauntlet match.
00:28:51And you're going to get in the way of my AEW World Championship.
00:28:55You are morally bankrupt and you have no soul.
00:29:00That means you have ensured yourself in uninterrupted ass-whooping the likes of what you've never experienced before.
00:29:08And when you're in the syndicate, it ain't personal.
00:29:11It's just business.
00:29:18Reach for the sky, boy.
00:29:27This bout set for one, Paul, is the Men's Casino Gauntlet match for a future shot at the AEW World Title.
00:29:35Introducing the first participant, Bryce Satterford, Delaware, with 229 pounds, Mark Briscoe.
00:29:47Mark Briscoe has endured a very emotional week, not only dealing with the verbal abuse from MJF about his late brother Jay,
00:29:56but that fantastic piece by the Players' Tribune chronicling relationship with the Briscoe Brothers premiering earlier this week.
00:30:03And I urge everyone to go seek it out.
00:30:05Yeah, no question, but I saw it when it debuted that evening.
00:30:09A very heartwarming meditation about faith, love, family, and triumph over tragedy after the loss of his late brother Jay Briscoe.
00:30:20But Mark, who's endured a lot, certainly.
00:30:24I sometimes make my jokes about him, but both Mark and Jay, true to my heart,
00:30:31God's tagged him in tonight.
00:30:32And then the opposite side of the spectrum.
00:30:45And that Briscoe said was morally bankrupt.
00:30:48He had no soul.
00:30:50He also made fun of his kosher pickle.
00:30:53You know, he also, Mark Briscoe, was quoted on SB Nation by saying that MJF's got such a punchable face.
00:31:03I think that...
00:31:04I wholeheartedly agree.
00:31:05Yes, I think everybody would agree to that.
00:31:08As MVP, flanking the newest member of the Hurts Syndicate here,
00:31:13and a man who believes that he will become the number one contender for the AEW World Championship
00:31:20before anyone has an opportunity to enter this match.
00:31:23It's a Casino Gauntlet match.
00:31:24It's the first pinfall or submission determines the winner.
00:31:28All of the entrants coming in at unpredictable intervals,
00:31:31so these number one and two spots are crucial.
00:31:34Introducing next video company by MVP,
00:31:39from Clayview, Long Island, New York,
00:31:42weight 226 pounds,
00:31:45Maxwell Shigar Friedman, MJF!
00:31:53MJF, a former AEW World Champion,
00:31:57a dominant former champion,
00:32:00would like nothing more
00:32:02than to get back into the mix for that title,
00:32:06and what quicker way to do so
00:32:08than by winning the Casino Gauntlet match.
00:32:10They have alluded to, MJF has vowed
00:32:12to do it in quick succession here.
00:32:18He's vowed to defeat Briscoe before the third entrant,
00:32:22but Briscoe is ready to be all-in as well.
00:32:25I think Briscoe is going to come out swinging
00:32:28after those horrible words that MJF said
00:32:31about Mark's brother, Jay.
00:32:34Hell goes, and oh, wait a second.
00:32:36MJF, quick roll-up, too.
00:32:38And almost true to his word,
00:32:41MJF looking for the quickest victory possible.
00:32:44Inside cradle here.
00:32:45One, two,
00:32:47and Briscoe,
00:32:49now Briscoe,
00:32:50now Briscoe unleashing his fury on MJF,
00:32:53just trying to throttle him.
00:32:55I think MJF had the right idea.
00:32:57Mark Briscoe just wants to brawl for some payback.
00:33:00MJF wants to win the match,
00:33:02and MVP has joined us here as well.
00:33:03First of all,
00:33:04I want to tell you how rude of you not to welcome me here.
00:33:07I'm kind enough to bless you all with my presence.
00:33:09And second of all, MJF is a strategist.
00:33:13He's not out there to brawl.
00:33:14He's out there to win.
00:33:17Well, MJF certainly getting under the skin
00:33:19of Mark Briscoe in recent days,
00:33:22and Briscoe coming into this match with a lot of fire,
00:33:25but that seems to have backfired on Briscoe.
00:33:29Been unable to really get out of the gates here.
00:33:33Briscoe, who,
00:33:34known for his playful antics,
00:33:38got very serious when MJF invoked the name of his late brother, Jay.
00:33:42You've seen this on MJF before,
00:33:45just, uh-oh, disrespect.
00:33:48That's horrible.
00:33:49It's called strategy.
00:33:50It's called strategy.
00:33:51Get somebody in their feelings and their emotions,
00:33:53and then they can't execute properly.
00:33:56There it is.
00:33:57That was called unearned confidence from MJF.
00:33:59Did not realize Briscoe was looming behind him.
00:34:03Back body drop attempted.
00:34:05Briscoe lands on his feet.
00:34:07And the chop to the chest.
00:34:11Briscoe giving MJF a sandy full ass whooping.
00:34:16Now, remember,
00:34:17they're going to try to still try to end this quickly.
00:34:20We don't know when the possible third participant will come in.
00:34:24Yeah, they are unpredictable.
00:34:26Well, as we said, we're 10 seconds away.
00:34:2810 seconds, bring it in.
00:34:31So, Briscoe and MJF,
00:34:33neither man successful in pressing their advantage here.
00:34:37Oh, boy.
00:34:40How about this?
00:34:41I would say that MJF has been very successful
00:34:43because he's obviously very deep in Mark Briscoe's head.
00:34:46Got him off his game.
00:34:47Ricochet already scheduled to face in that four-way for the TNT title.
00:34:53Excuse me.
00:34:54I'm losing myself right now.
00:34:56You lost your stuff a long time ago, my friend.
00:34:58Ricochet, the third entrant in the Casino Golem match.
00:35:02The man who had all-in London last year
00:35:05made his AEW debut as part of that Casino Gauntlet match.
00:35:10And now...
00:35:11Well, you know, Ricochet said on X,
00:35:16if he got in there, they would team up on Briscoe.
00:35:18And he's true-age warned here.
00:35:20Look at this.
00:35:21MVP, did you talk at all with MJF before the match
00:35:25about potential allegiances as this match continues?
00:35:28We talked about strategy.
00:35:30I'm not going to reveal what strategies we discussed,
00:35:32but as you can see, the young man is a strategist.
00:35:34That's why I call him the young genius.
00:35:36He gets it.
00:35:36He understands how this works.
00:35:37It worked out well that Ricochet drew number three to MVP.
00:35:42And look at this, Mark Briscoe.
00:35:44I was there last year at Wembley Stadium.
00:35:47I can tell you the butterflies will be in a lot of guys' stomachs right now,
00:35:50standing back there with their number,
00:35:52hoping they get the opportunity to get into this match on this stage.
00:35:57That's right, Nigel.
00:35:58Not only are the intervals unpredictable,
00:36:00but the entrance into the match is random as the clock ticking down.
00:36:05I'm not sure Ricochet or MJF realized it.
00:36:07Oh, boy.
00:36:09Here we go.
00:36:10Wow, it's the Ring of Honor champ!
00:36:14And what a battle he had last night.
00:36:18Holy smokes!
00:36:19The man that defended his Ring of Honor World Championship
00:36:22in a classic battle against the Alpha,
00:36:26Konosuke Takeshi to Bandito.
00:36:29He may be...
00:36:30Splitting to the Ring.
00:36:31He may be right now, this summer,
00:36:33be doing the best wrestling of anyone
00:36:35in ROH or AEW.
00:36:38He is on a roll.
00:36:39He could win this thing.
00:36:40I think it could be the best summer of anyone in the world.
00:36:43Oh, look at this!
00:36:53MJF, thumb to the eye,
00:36:55and Ricochet staggering on his feet.
00:36:57It looks like he tried to feed Ricochet to the Wolf,
00:37:02and the Wolf is taking advantage here.
00:37:04Look at this!
00:37:06Bandito.
00:37:09Like we were saying, Tony,
00:37:10I think the best summer of wrestling of anybody in the world,
00:37:13this could be the summer of Bandito,
00:37:14especially if he's able to win,
00:37:16but MJF, other plans in mind,
00:37:18Bandito escapes.
00:37:18Smart move, MVP, once again.
00:37:22But the question has to be,
00:37:24what does Bandito have left in him
00:37:26after a grueling championship defense?
00:37:28That's a great, great point.
00:37:31Ricochet!
00:37:31Oh, my goodness, bro.
00:37:34Briscoe said it.
00:37:35Fly!
00:37:37A scissor kick through the ropes.
00:37:39Ricochet once again bounced around.
00:37:46And Briscoe paying a little visit to Truth and Consequences.
00:37:50Truth or Consequences is now the blockbuster on MJF.
00:37:56Bringing MVP out of his seat
00:38:00as the newest member of the Hurt.
00:38:01Get up off your back, Max!
00:38:03Get off your back, Max!
00:38:05He took out two of his biggest rivals,
00:38:07Ricochet and MVP.
00:38:08Max, get off your back!
00:38:09He has to look in the eye.
00:38:11On to your side!
00:38:12Get off your back!
00:38:14There you go, that's it.
00:38:15Get off your back!
00:38:16Very interesting strategy here
00:38:18for a casino Gorton at Max
00:38:20because you don't want to be out of the ring for too long.
00:38:22Exactly.
00:38:23Pimful submissions can happen very quickly,
00:38:26certainly in the early goings in this match.
00:38:30Who's next?
00:38:32Oh, yeah!
00:38:35Well, it's less than 24 hours ago
00:38:37that the Alpha
00:38:39was unsuccessful in dethroning.
00:38:44Bandito is the Ring of Honor World Champion,
00:38:45but
00:38:46more than ample opportunity to make up for it here.
00:38:51We've got a nosegate to Keshtar.
00:38:52You've got to wonder what he's got left,
00:38:55what Bandito's got left.
00:38:56One of the greatest matches I've ever seen, guys,
00:38:58that happened last night
00:38:59at the Esports Arena.
00:39:00And look at how fresh
00:39:02Takeshtar looks.
00:39:05Young man, Olympic-level deck athlete.
00:39:11He's doing great matches
00:39:12during that international title run
00:39:14by Takeshtar.
00:39:15Oh, look at Ricochet!
00:39:17Ricochet launching off the chest
00:39:19of Takeshtar.
00:39:19The shot avoided by Ted Keshtar.
00:39:23Blue!
00:39:23Thunder!
00:39:24Bomb!
00:39:25Two!
00:39:26Oh!
00:39:27So close!
00:39:30Here's Bandito.
00:39:32Oh, brother!
00:39:34Look at him standing up!
00:39:38Less than 24 hours
00:39:39since they collided.
00:39:42It's one of the
00:39:43greatest Ring of Honor
00:39:44World Championship matches
00:39:45in the history
00:39:46of the title
00:39:47and Bandito now
00:39:49has the
00:39:50has the Alpha
00:39:51running off the back foot.
00:39:54Coming in,
00:39:55a hell of a kick there
00:39:56by Bandito.
00:39:57Oh, Takeshtar.
00:40:00Oh!
00:40:05Well, at grandstanding,
00:40:07that's not what it's about.
00:40:12MJF is in there
00:40:13to win this
00:40:15that's not what it's about.
00:40:16It's about to win this game.
00:40:17It's about to win this game.
00:40:18You know, MJF
00:40:19catching the leap
00:40:20of an attempt.
00:40:22The power bomb
00:40:22on the knee,
00:40:23the cover.
00:40:23Oh, no!
00:40:24Wow.
00:40:25A little bit more oomph on it!
00:40:26A little bit more oomph on it!
00:40:28That's all!
00:40:28You got it!
00:40:29Man, that was close, MVP.
00:40:31I don't know how much
00:40:31more oomph you could get.
00:40:33A little more oomph in Dean.
00:40:34You don't want to talk
00:40:35about strategy, MVP,
00:40:36but can you give anything away?
00:40:37Did you see anyone backstage?
00:40:38He might be coming out soon.
00:40:40And MJF,
00:40:40who very recently
00:40:41took the mask of Mystico,
00:40:43now saying he's going to do
00:40:44the same to Bandito.
00:40:46Why would he do this here?
00:40:49Because I think
00:40:49this is psychological mind games.
00:40:52MJF, he just seems intent
00:40:53on humiliating luchadors.
00:40:57Oh, he's got another chance now.
00:40:59Speaking of luchadors,
00:41:01the greatest.
00:41:14You're not in Mexico, Mr. Cole.
00:41:38You're pretty close,
00:41:40but you're not there.
00:41:40Hey, Max,
00:41:54don't wait for him!
00:41:55Pulls in through the ranks!
00:42:04Hey, Max!
00:42:06Max!
00:42:06Just whoop his eyes!
00:42:10Don't wait for all that pageantry!
00:42:14Oh, Mystico,
00:42:15with the full-throated support
00:42:17of this great crowd
00:42:19here in Arlington, Texas.
00:42:20And now,
00:42:22whoa!
00:42:23Looking to pay back
00:42:24some of the humiliation
00:42:25that MJF
00:42:26has put him through.
00:42:28Mystico, the escalera,
00:42:34comes down,
00:42:35arm drag,
00:42:36takes down
00:42:36Kunosuke Takeshna.
00:42:38Oh, wait a second.
00:42:41Wait.
00:42:42Bandito.
00:42:44And Mystico,
00:42:46Tijeras,
00:42:46Bandito goes down.
00:42:50And with everyone else
00:42:51on the outside,
00:42:52the Lucha Libre legend.
00:42:54The brightest star
00:42:55that shines
00:42:56in CMLL,
00:42:57Mystico.
00:42:59Looks like Mystico
00:43:00might have had
00:43:00a couple of drinks.
00:43:01Whoa!
00:43:02Mystico didn't like
00:43:02what he saw,
00:43:04recovered,
00:43:05and takes out
00:43:06all four other men.
00:43:08And goes right
00:43:09for MJF
00:43:11at the beginning.
00:43:13Looking for some
00:43:14payback while he can now.
00:43:17What better way
00:43:18than to defeat
00:43:19the former AEW.
00:43:20What a miss!
00:43:21Mystico to the same star!
00:43:22Center of the ring,
00:43:23La Mystico!
00:43:24This could be it!
00:43:27MJF on the verge
00:43:29of tapping out.
00:43:30Oh, Brisco!
00:43:31Mark Brisco,
00:43:32he saved MJF
00:43:33and now look at this!
00:43:35Double!
00:43:36Fujiwara arm bars!
00:43:37Whoa!
00:43:38Bryce Rainbow
00:43:39looking there
00:43:40for the verbal tap
00:43:41from MJF
00:43:42who didn't give it to him.
00:43:45Well, who would've
00:43:45won the match
00:43:46with...
00:43:47It's not
00:43:50muddy the waters.
00:43:50One more person
00:43:53hedged down this way.
00:43:55Oh!
00:43:56Oh!
00:43:58The presence
00:43:58of the Don Callis family
00:44:00now grows in this match.
00:44:03The walking weapon,
00:44:04Josh Alexander.
00:44:07He debuted
00:44:08as the...
00:44:08the mystery
00:44:10entered the wildcard
00:44:11in the Owen Hart
00:44:13Foundation Tournament
00:44:14earlier this year.
00:44:15Now,
00:44:16perhaps one win
00:44:18away from becoming
00:44:19that number one contender
00:44:20for the AEW World Championship.
00:44:22He and Takeshi
00:44:23have a great record
00:44:24as a tag team,
00:44:25a dominant tag team,
00:44:26but as we know,
00:44:27it's every man
00:44:28for himself here.
00:44:30As Alexander
00:44:32throwing a ricochet
00:44:33across the ring
00:44:34as MVP
00:44:35once again
00:44:35returning
00:44:36to that headset.
00:44:38We're doing a little...
00:44:39I'm sure that was
00:44:39coaching or motivating.
00:44:41I don't know how
00:44:41you would phrase it.
00:44:42A little bit of both.
00:44:43A little bit of both.
00:44:44Reminding him
00:44:45of our strategy.
00:44:46Either way,
00:44:47the strategy
00:44:47of Takeshi
00:44:48and Alexander.
00:44:49Oh!
00:44:52Whatever Bandito
00:44:53had after him
00:44:54and from his championship
00:44:55match,
00:44:55I think he's getting
00:44:55peeped out of him
00:44:56right now.
00:44:57Yeah.
00:44:57Bandito has been
00:44:58identified as the weak link
00:45:00by the Don Callis family.
00:45:03Now Alexander
00:45:05trying to organize
00:45:06the adversaries
00:45:09and Takeshi.
00:45:11That's 24 hours
00:45:12after that.
00:45:14Tremendous battle
00:45:15of Bandito
00:45:16taking flight
00:45:17and taking advantage
00:45:18for the Callis family.
00:45:2030-minute battle
00:45:21last night, Excalibur,
00:45:23and here we're
00:45:23in the afternoon,
00:45:24so he didn't have
00:45:2624 hours
00:45:27even to rest up.
00:45:28It's amazing.
00:45:28He sounded pretty hot
00:45:30right now,
00:45:30but can he maintain that?
00:45:32That's the question.
00:45:33Ruling match.
00:45:34Yep.
00:45:34It's got a long time
00:45:35and we're about
00:45:36to get another entrant.
00:45:39See the fans rise,
00:45:40turn their attention
00:45:41to the top of the stage.
00:45:42Who will be the next man
00:45:44to join the Casino
00:45:44Gauntlet match?
00:45:47Well, the 5-2 playoff.
00:45:50The pride of pro wrestling.
00:45:52There you see it.
00:45:52It is Anthony Bowens.
00:45:55Anthony Bowens,
00:45:56a very talented individual,
00:45:58finally stepping into his own
00:46:00without Max Castor
00:46:01and wants to make a statement.
00:46:02He's got a lot to prove.
00:46:05Yeah, without Max Castor
00:46:06and without Billy Gunn
00:46:08at his side once again.
00:46:10There's been some very heated
00:46:11exchanges between Bowens
00:46:13and Billy,
00:46:14but Bowens
00:46:15taking down Josh Alexander.
00:46:18He's doing it on his own.
00:46:19He's looking impressive thus far.
00:46:21The opening moments of this,
00:46:22his tenure in this match.
00:46:24Yes, sir.
00:46:24He has won a Trios Championship
00:46:26at All-In before.
00:46:27Could he repeat?
00:46:28Could he have the momentum
00:46:30from All-In?
00:46:32You know,
00:46:32big stadium shows.
00:46:34Some guys rise to the occasion.
00:46:36Ricochet went for the roundhouse.
00:46:37Bowens ducked it.
00:46:38Connected with the boot
00:46:39to the jaw
00:46:40and boom.
00:46:41Wow.
00:46:42Bowens driving down Ricochet.
00:46:44Well, he has a talented kid, man.
00:46:46He's a 5-2 player.
00:46:47He's got everything.
00:46:48He's that guy.
00:46:495-2s in 1 rule.
00:46:51Prove me wrong.
00:46:52And right now,
00:46:53Briscoe has vowed
00:46:55to win this match
00:46:56for his late brother Jay,
00:46:58for his family
00:46:59and to take back
00:47:01the AEW World title.
00:47:02But first of all,
00:47:04the pride of pro wrestling
00:47:04standing in front of him.
00:47:07Briscoe
00:47:08walks into that waiting back elbow
00:47:11as Bowens.
00:47:14Big combination there.
00:47:16But unbeknownst to Bowens,
00:47:19Alexander and Takeshita
00:47:21returning to the ring.
00:47:22Tough, guys, Al.
00:47:25You!
00:47:26You!
00:47:28Suck my fucking dick!
00:47:30Oh!
00:47:31They ain't not gonna do that.
00:47:32Nope.
00:47:33They're just gonna beat him up.
00:47:35Yeah, I don't think
00:47:35that was very smart.
00:47:36No, I agree.
00:47:37Whoa!
00:47:39We talked about
00:47:40this dominant team
00:47:41of Alexander and Takeshita.
00:47:43We're showing it right there.
00:47:45Yeah, but
00:47:45how are they gonna decide
00:47:47if it comes down
00:47:48between Alexander and Takeshita?
00:47:49Who wins it for the family?
00:47:51Who becomes the number one
00:47:51contender for the A.W.
00:47:52World Championship?
00:47:53That's the question.
00:47:54Interesting question, indeed.
00:47:56Oh, wow.
00:47:59Ricochet
00:48:00trying to keep the eyes
00:48:01in the back of his head.
00:48:03Oh, yeah.
00:48:04Alexander catches
00:48:05Ricochet mid-flop.
00:48:07Oh!
00:48:09That's it!
00:48:10One, two!
00:48:12Oh!
00:48:12How did he get out of that?
00:48:14My God!
00:48:15It wiped him out!
00:48:16Well, he was next in the back, man.
00:48:17He's worked.
00:48:19Hart must have jumped out
00:48:20of his chest
00:48:20thinking perhaps
00:48:21he wasn't any of the opportunity.
00:48:22Now he is!
00:48:23One!
00:48:24With Kyle O'Reilly
00:48:38rejoining for the
00:48:40common conglomeration

00:48:48It's up to
00:48:48Robert Strong
00:48:49to get it done
00:48:50for Paragon here.
00:48:52And he wiped out MJF
00:48:53on the floor
00:48:54now trying to fight
00:48:55two-on-one
00:48:56against the Kesson Alexander.
00:48:58Roddy,
00:48:58former international champion.
00:49:00Look at that
00:49:00backbreaker
00:49:01coming in fresh.
00:49:04Hasn't even
00:49:04taken his shirt off.
00:49:06Sinewy.
00:49:08Strong by name,
00:49:10strong by nature.
00:49:10Roddy.
00:49:12Great strikes.
00:49:13The up pickup.
00:49:14Look at that, Roddy.
00:49:16Roddy could win this
00:49:17right now.
00:49:17Roddy Strong

00:49:18is hooked there.
00:49:19and Alexander
00:49:21bailing out to Kesson
00:49:22but also bailing himself
00:49:23out with Josh Alexander
00:49:24there.
00:49:28Roddy has mastered
00:49:29the art of chiropractic.
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:31What he does
00:49:32to the human back.
00:49:34That already keeps
00:49:34a lot of chiropractors
00:49:35in business.
00:49:36Oh, wow!
00:49:37The first ever
00:49:38casino gauntlet match

00:51:31to be honest
00:51:32with all the great
00:51:33talent we got

00:51:34but as more
00:51:35people

00:54:02all clean shaded and everything take a look at juice you can better believe that he is fired up
00:54:08probably more than anyone else
00:54:09he bit them and he bopped them
00:54:19and a straight bullet having his fun and in the meantime
00:54:25third straight year he's been in all in but we have not seen him in quite a while i know i think
00:54:30it's obvious he looks great yeah juice robinson look at that looking to make up for lost time
00:54:36here and what better way to do so than by winning the casino gauntlet match immediately becoming
00:54:41the number one contender one two ricochet though kicking out and he almost won it he needs to go
00:54:49right back to it welcome back john goes out around globe life field
00:54:59plenty of time here this is unusual with so many men on the outside but wait a second what we got here
00:55:04oh look at that that ricochets bishop khan he's been trying to enlist khan and toa leona and leona
00:55:12just dropped juice robinson with that massive shoulder block the gates of agony offered their
00:55:17services to ricochet who gladly accepted

00:58:49is not disappointed at all wow what great athletes more big surprises as well tony
00:58:55vegas odds have got a number of potential entrance pistol pez whatley at 100 to one if you can believe
00:59:02that i cannot i announce broadcast colleague taz at 500 to one so short for that man i see what you did there
00:59:19the beast mortos just 24 hours ago competing in arena mexico mexico city now making the journey and
00:59:26making the entrance into the casino gauntlet match as ibushi standing stoicly in the center of the ring
00:59:34and mortos just laid him out with a headbutt yeah headbutted him out of his boots
00:59:42mortos attacking with some urgency here
00:59:46mortos had a great showing it's mistico this past week on collision fired up now that's the beauty the
00:59:57longer this match goes when you come in the fresher you are compared to everybody else who's left in
01:00:03and now i think nigel to that point mjf and mark briscoe at a decided disadvantage being the first two
01:00:13entrance into this match look at that big collision neither man backing down at all here you've got
01:00:22two pieces in there right now i'm not kidding man they are going at it rhodi went for the lariat and
01:00:26mortos the spear what that great move by mortos weight bowens charging in and mortos driving all the air
01:00:38out of the lungs of the five tool player takashta came in and got a discus lariat for his troubles
01:00:52a lot of strong beast mortos they've got a fair bit of history dating back to earlier this year
01:01:00pays it no mind and attacks with his head
01:01:03his headbutt has really paid dividends there between the mask and whoa his power that he's known for
01:01:10now a bit of playback again in this past week on collision with mistico
01:01:16like i'm wearing the victory with that mistico yeah i was able to get it again tony now he takes his
01:01:22spots saw spot up
01:01:24oh he could win it now istico the leg is hooked and mortos though kicking out
01:01:34no one has to wonder who might be coming out next
01:01:39yeah i remember last year we had to wonder who was coming out next it was you it was me indeed what
01:01:43about glacier he was in the very first ever casino goalie match hold on whoa whoa ricochet
01:01:49the shot was off target but still very nearly putting out mistico well i see is it at a thousand
01:01:56to one odds from what i understand oh way to take oh wow ricochet was looking for vertigo but he left
01:02:02his head exposed bandito makes him pay the price for it big thrust kick excalibur
01:02:06well this doesn't look good for a ricochet bandito maybe think of that x knee finds it ricochet down bandito
01:02:18needs to take another shot he feels yeah he's lining up ricochet for the 21 flex no tekesh done
01:02:26roderick strong though in from behind the knee the tiger driver the cover to no alexander
01:02:44what power by takesta unbelievable oh sidestep shot to the back of the head now alexander
01:02:56the rock bomb for roderick strong alexander makes the cover one oh no froggy bow alexander tried to
01:03:06maneuver out of the way could not still in harm's way on that we're starting to come down to the wire
01:03:13so much punishment everybody has absorbed so far the oh painful of submission could come out of anywhere
01:03:19and who knows how many more potential entrants are lined up in the back how many more numbers have
01:03:26been drawn yep one has to wonder oh wait a second
01:03:32oh
01:03:36unable to follow up though oh juice bakes him in that massive left hand good pickup
01:03:44impressive display of strength by juice robinson one two no mortals not even a two
01:03:49before he got into the mix robinson sent in sent up and sent down by mortals
01:04:02oh boy look at this matchup oh mortals blocked the kick but not the elbow
01:04:09bushy the roundhouse the lariat connects though
01:04:12bushy looking to follow up quickly but strong won't let him now the golden star of the comma goye
01:04:22but roderick strong from behind but bushy never had a chance didn't see it coming
01:04:28the end of heartache cover him now got close to the ropes roderick the cover and
01:04:37again mjf choosing the perfect moment to save the match he's taking his taking his shots calling spots
01:04:45he's going to take a lot to take him out but at this point of the game how much do these competitors
01:05:04have left they're all extremely well conditioned they're literally elite athletes but how much grind
01:05:10how much wear and tear what do they have left in the tank at this point mjf swinging a miss roderick
01:05:16strong sick kick taking mjf off his feet again mjf smartly rolls out of the ring knowing there's only
01:05:24one guy in the ring right now roderick strong all alone in the center of the ring are we gonna see
01:05:29somebody else join him here yes we are nigel the commentator's curse continues as the clock
01:05:36ticks down yet another entrant for the men's casino gauntlet match
01:05:43oh
01:05:47how about this well nate former tag team partner of anthony ball
01:05:51you know that this match has left some serious star power but lucky for all the maximaniacs here at
01:06:13globe light field you get to chant my name

01:06:40Joyce Costanzas said famously,
01:06:42it's not a lie if you believe it.
01:06:44Well, wait a second.
01:06:45Bones grabs the boot of Caster.
01:06:46Caster couldn't even enter the ring
01:06:49as Roderick Strong sends Caster spilling to the floor.
01:06:52Now Briscoe at Strong battling it out.
01:06:56These two men, long-time friends outside the ring,
01:06:59long-time adversaries inside the ring.
01:07:01And now, the J-Driller avoided.
01:07:06Oh!
01:07:08Put Roderick...
01:07:09Oh!
01:07:11Wow!
01:07:12J-Driller!
01:07:13J-Driller, his late brothers, finishing maneuver!
01:07:17The J-Driller, the center of the ring at MJF.
01:07:20Look at this front by the line!
01:07:22One, two, three!
01:07:30Here's the winner.
01:07:32Maxwell, Chico, Friedman, and...
01:07:36Two, three!
01:07:37Yeah!
01:07:38Good God Almighty!
01:07:40Work smarter, not harder.
01:07:44Gotta give the devil his due, man!
01:07:45I taste...
01:07:46The most hated man in professional wrestling is now the number one contender for the AEW World Championship.
01:07:56An incredible match, quite frankly, an incredible win.
01:08:00Wire to wire.
01:08:01And there he has his contract that he has earned for a future title shot.
01:08:11Every man in this match gave everything.
01:08:14Future opportunity.
01:08:16Future opportunity.
01:08:17Next step!
01:08:17The AEW World Championship, a.k.a.
01:08:22My Triple Feet!
01:08:27MJF, he has held the AEW World Championship before.
01:08:31Can he now parlay this victory in the men's casino gauntlet match into a second reign on top?
01:08:41He has not received a world title bout since losing of Samoa Joe at the end of 2023.
01:08:49There's gonna be some disappointed guys in the back that didn't get a chance to get in the ring.
01:08:52It's just a matter of time now, it's just a matter of time now, before we get this company right, and we get the real main character on top.
01:09:04Ain't no Dictator John or Hangman Adam Page, we're talking MJF!
01:09:10Well, MJF putting Hangman Adam Page and Jon Moxley on notice as he is now the number one contender.
01:09:22And fans, DraftKings Sportsbook is an official.
